bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Vicious dogs would be euthanized rather than being returned to their owners under a proposed revision in the city ordinance.

A City Council committee on Tuesday agreed with the city attorney that dogs should be euthanized once they are determined to be vicious.

What started out as a routine updating of the city ordinance on vicious and dangerous dogs has taken on a more serious purpose in recent weeks because of dog attacks and residents insisting that something be done about dogs menacing their neighborhoods.

City Attorney Marty Shanahan told the Legislative and Land Use Committee on Tuesday that the existing ordinance allows the option of owners keeping dogs declared to be vicious while putting them under certain restraints.

“Vicious is death or severe physical harm,” Shanahan told the committee.

“Then the question is, why would the city allow something that causes death or serious injury?”

“I agree,” committee Chairman Terry Morris said.

The committee also agreed with Shanahan that the ordinance should allow a dog deemed to be dangerous after repeated incidents should be subject to a hearing in which it could be declared vicious.

The committee suggested two incidents should lead to a hearing on whether the dog is vicious.

Councilwoman Jan Quillman noted there should be leeway allowed for dogs in biting incidents.

“I think it depends on the situation,” Quillman said. “You can have kids teasing a dog and the dog nips them. That doesn’t make the dog vicious.”

A city hearing officer would determine whether a dog is vicious. A dog owner could go to Circuit Court to reverse a decision to euthanize.

In whatever way the city’s dog ordinance is rewritten, residents at the meet-

ing said the city needs to make it work.

“Verbiage does nothing,” resident Ron Repp said. “You can play with words all you want. The fact is you’ve got to stop the rhetoric and start the action.”

Repp brought the committee pictures showing injuries he and his dog suffered when attacked by another dog in August.

Councilman Jim McFarland said he agreed with residents who have complained that it has taken the city a long time to come up with a solution to vicious dogs in Joliet.

“I think it’s accurate to say this has been an ongoing issue for months,” McFarland said.

The city also has to work out an intergovernmental agreement with Joliet Township Animal Control, which actually handles dog situations in Joliet.

Shanahan said he is working on the agreement and it needs a lot of work.

“That intergovernmental agreement needs to be started from scratch,” he said. “It really only addresses stray dogs.”

Will County to lobby for permanent control tower at Lewis University Airport

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS

lleonecross@shawmedia.com

JOLIET – Will County leaders say they want to ramp up efforts this year to lobby Congress for $2 million in aviation grant dollars for a permanent control tower at the Lewis University Airport in Romeoville.

Total project costs range from $4 million to $6 million, Chris Lawson, director for the Joliet Regional Port District, which owns and operates the airport, told members of the Will County Board’s Legislative and Policy Committee on Tuesday.

Lawson said after the meeting that the Port District hopes to issue revenue bonds based on annual fuel use statistics and lease land to warehouses to raise revenue and make up the cost difference. Having funds on hand will help the airport’s

chances of securing the improvement grant, he said.

Lewis University is one of the top five busiest airports in the state and ranked in the top third in the nation for activity, Lawson told the committee Tuesday.

“That’s an amazing statistic. That’s an easy sell,” he said.

A permanent control tower would make for safer landings at the airport – which has two intersecting runways – while attracting more commercial jets, he said.

More than 20 Fortune 500 companies – including Caterpillar, Citgo, Harrah’s, ExxonMobil and NASCAR – own and operate aircraft and have offices or plants located within 30 minutes of the airport, according to airport documents distributed Tuesday.

Lawson said the Port District pays the FAA about $50,000 each time a temporary

control tower is required – a necessity when NASCAR arrives in town for Chicagoland Speedway events.

About 500,000 gallons of jet fuel are annually sold to corporate jet users. A permanent control tower could bring more of that revenue to the airport, Lawson said.

Lawson said there has been talk about bringing a less expensive alternative – a control tower that operates remotely – to the airport. But he has reservations about that avenue, which remains in a pilot program and is not FAA-approved.

Will County Board Speaker Jim Moustis, R-Frankfort, said County Board leaders will lobby Congress on the issue during an April legislative trip to Washington, D.C. “Will County has a long history of supporting Lewis University Airport. It’s an extremely important asset to the county,” Moustis said.

Events honor history, attract students

By FELIX SARVER

fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A black barbershop is more than a place for customers to get a haircut.

Antione Edwards, multicultural retention specialist at Joliet Junior College, said black barbershops are a “highly esteemed” place in the community.

“We can talk about religion, politics, family. It was the kind of thing people held onto, a staple of the community,” he said.

Last Friday, Edwards and Crest Hill-based Champions Beauty-Barber University re-created the atmosphere of a black barbershop at JJC as part of a celebration of Black History Month at the college.

Students came to the Center Bridge at JJC to receive a free haircut by barbers from the Crest Hill school and enjoy a screening of “Barbershop,” star-

LOCAL NEWS Joliet council to consider tax incentive in St. Joe’s area, lease for brew pub Have a news tip?

Contact Kate Schott at 815-280-4119 or kschott@shawmedia.com

By BOB OKON

bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The City Council could vote next week on a proposal to pursue tax incentives for redevelopment of the area around Presence Saint Joseph Medical Center.

The incentive study, along with a proposed lease agreement for a brew pub at Union Station, is set to be reviewed Thursday by the council’s Economic Development Committee.

The city is considering a tax increment financing district to encourage redevelopment of the area south and west of Presence Saint Joseph. A TIF district is an area in which assessed property values are frozen and the difference in tax revenue generated between the frozen tax value and current value goes into a fund to be used for improvements to properties within the district.

The TIF would run west of Springfield Avenue to the Joliet Junction Trail, taking in all the property that lines Republic and Springfield avenues. The northern border would be Glenwood Avenue, and the southern boundary would be Jefferson Street. It would also include commercial property along Jefferson Street two blocks east of Springfield. The hospital itself would not be included in the district.

Economic Development Director Steve Jones said the TIF proposal would likely go to the full City Council for a vote Tuesday if it gets a recommendation from the committee.

Approval would be a first step to eventually creating the TIF. The council would consider hiring the firm S. B. Friedman to do a feasibility study to

determine that the property along the west side of Republic Avenue qualifies for the incentive.

Jones said S. B. Friedman in 2014 did a TIF study but did not include that side of Republic Avenue.

“The area closest to the hospital was deemed to be eligible,” he said.

The city in 2014 did not move forward with the creation of a TIF. Now that the city is considering one, Jones is recommending it be expanded to both sides of Republic Avenue.

Brew pub

Jones said a lease agreement for a brew pub could also go to the full council Tuesday if it is recommended in committee.

A group called Golden Spike LLC would get an initial five-year lease for rent of $84,000 a year for up to 12,700 square feet of Union Station for the brew pub. The lease includes options to extend the agreement for an additional 10 years at escalating rent that eventually would rise to $102,000 a year.

Golden Spike would get credits up to $300,000 for the costs of improvements it needs to make at Union Station for the brew pub, meaning it could operate without paying rent for as long as the first three-and-a-half years depending on its costs for renovation.

The proposed developers have not been identified while the city has negotiated lease terms. But Jones said they will be at the meeting to make a presentation to the committee.

The Economic Development Committee meets at 5 p.m. in the Planning Conference Room on the first floor of City Hall, 150 W. Jefferson St.

Will County clerk training election judges ahead of March primary

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS

lleonecross@shawmedia.com

JOLIET – Will County Clerk Nancy Schultz Voots hopes to train more than 2,000 election judges before the upcoming March 15 primary on how to register voters via the county’s new electronic poll books.

It’s a necessity ahead of the election thanks to Senate Bill 172 – an unfunded state mandate requiring certain Illinois counties to offer same-day voter regis-

tration at every polling place.

Schultz Voots said Tuesday that her office will train potential election judges this weekend at the Will County Office Building in Joliet. Another training session is scheduled for March 5.

“We will have hands-on demonstrations for the election judges. All the poll books will be set up and they’ll have 10 stations where they practice using the poll books instead of waiting until Election Day,” Schultz Voots said.

One advantage to the new poll books

is that election judges will have information on each of the county’s 300 precincts at his or her fingerprints.

“If someone shows up at the wrong polling place, they can direct that voter to the right polling place,” she said.

Despite all the training that will take place ahead of Election Day, Schultz Voots said she urges voters to register ahead of time, and to take advantage of vote-by-mail, early and absentee voting options.

“I hope voters realize this is some-

thing new. It’s going to take a little longer. There may be lines,” Schultz Voots said.

Anyone interested in becoming an election judge should call the Will County Clerk’s Office at 815-740-4615.

Start-up costs associated with the new state law is costing the county more than $1 million when taking into account the required staff time, printed materials, additional training for election judges and the installment of Internet capabilities, among other factors.

Victim’s widow testifies: I saw Joliet restaurant shooter’s face

By BRIAN STANLEY

bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Edna Franchini testified she had a clear view of Christopher Thompson’s face when he fatally shot her husband in Louis’ Family Restaurant.

Although other witnesses said the assailant who killed Gerardo Franchini on Aug. 3, 2013, was covering his face with a shirt or a towel, his widow said she could recognize Thompson when he came into the back section of the restaurant at 1001 W. Jefferson St. in Joliet about 15 minutes after an earlier confrontation.

“When I looked up through the archway [that second time], he came up fast pointing a gun,” Edna Franchini testified Tuesday as the first witness in Thompson’s murder trial. “When I saw his face, I yelled my husband’s name to warn him. ... He started shooting right in front of the table.”

The Franchinis were sitting in a corner booth with two young girls, who initial reports identified as Gerardo Franchini’s daughters, but who

were actually Edna Franchini’s then4-year-old niece and then-5-year-old daughter from a previous relationship, according to her testimony.

Will County Assistant State’s Attorney Jim Long said Thompson and Gerardo Franchini knew each other through mutual friends, but had gotten in a fistfight outside Hollywood Casino several months before the shooting.

They had another tense encounter at the Grapevine Bar in Crest Hill a few weeks before they both ended up at the restaurant that morning, Long said.

Valerie Venegas, who was working as a waitress, and Bill Nussbaum, a regular customer, testified Thompson had been upset enough at seeing Franchini there to attract attention from many people in the crowded restaurant.

“My friend pointed out the gold chain [Thompson] had on and I noticed his floppy fisherman’s hat,” Venegas said. She said she saw the shooter was wearing the same hat. Venegas and Nussbaum testified they were able to see Thompson’s face after the shooting despite his efforts to cover it with his hand and clothing as he left.

Defense attorney John Casey said Thompson took home one girlfriend after leaving Louis’ and went to another girlfriend’s house to sleep instead of returning to shoot Franchini.

“This was calculated. It was a hit,” Casey told jurors during opening statements.

Casey said several witnesses noticed suspicious activity outside the restaurant after the shooting but were ignored by police.

Edna Franchini and her late husband met about 2000 and dated on and off until getting married in 2011.

Gerardo Franchini was charged with murder in the January 2007 slaying of Brenda Greenwood, but was found not guilty after a witness was unable to identify whether it was Franchini or his friend, Jaime Casillas, who had a child with Greenwood, who pulled the trigger.

LOCAL BRIEF Judge rules lawsuit on I-55 crash that killed 5 can move forward A federal judge in Chicago has ruled a wrongful death lawsuit tied to a 2014 Channahon Township crash can move forward.

The lawsuit stems from an incident on the afternoon of July 21, 2014, when the truck Francisco Espinal-Quiroz was driving on Interstate 55 crashed into three stopped vehicles in Channahon Township, killing three adults and an 11-year-old girl, according to a news release from Castle Law in Joliet, which represents the family of victim Ulrike Blopleh. A fifth adult later died of injuries suffered in the crash. Three others were hospitalized.

The news release stated the judge’s decision, handed down Friday, delivers a legal blow to transport company Eagle Transport of Goshen, Indiana, which leased trucking equipment to Espinal-Quiroz. The lawsuit alleges Espinal-Quiroz is legally blind in one eye and does not meet minimum federal vision standards.

New Lenox will fine for vaping in public; extending Smoke Free laws

By SARWAT S. AHMAD

Shaw Media correspondent NEW LENOX – New Lenox residents can now be fined for using e-cigarette or vaping devices in certain public spaces.

Village trustees present Monday night voted in favor of a set of amended ordinances that extend the Smoke Free New Lenox laws to e-cigarettes and similar nicotine products. Trustee Annette Bowden was absent.

The amendments are effective immediately.

The ordinances were presented to the Village Board for discussion at its regular meeting Jan. 25, when Mayor Tim Baldermann cited studies from the World Health Organization and the American Heart Association on the health concerns associated with nicotine exposure, as well as increased use of the products by minors.

The municipal code now includes the use of any alternative nicotine product – defined as any product containing nicotine but no tobacco – or vapor product – defined as any electron-

ic device used to emit a vapor from nicotine – as unlawful in no-smoking zones.

Smoking the products is prohibited in public places, as well as within 15 feet of building entrances and exits, and open windows and vents.

The amended ordinances add the sale or purchase of these products to or by minors to New Lenox’s prohibited offenses and outline related penalties.

Owners of shops that sell the products will be required to display signs informing customers of the age restrictions.

Fines for illegal use or possession of the products are the same as for tobacco products. Illegal sale, purchase and possession of the products to or by a minor is subject to a $50 fine, while use of the products in a prohibited space is subject to a minimum $100 fine, Deputy Police Chief Robert Pawlisz said.

Owners or operators of a public place that allow a violation to occur will be fined a minimum of $250 for the first offense, with additional fine increases for subsequent offenses, he said.

No collection is too large or too small. Please visit our website, or stop in our store for a list of the hundreds of items we buy.

adno=0368037

A separate ordinance discussed Monday will require future vape shops be located in industrial zoned areas.

That ordinance likely will come to the board for approval at the Feb. 22 meeting, Village Administrator Kurt Carroll said.

Vape shops already operating in New Lenox will not be required to relocate if the ordinance is approved, Carroll said, but are required to follow and enforce the amended ordinances approved Monday.

Video gaming permits extended to restaurants

The board also approved amendments to its video gaming ordinance that allow any establishment with a liquor license to install video gaming machines, provided the business guarantees more than 60 percent of its business comes from non-video gaming activities.

The original 2009 ordinance allowed video gaming only in veterans’ organizations, licensed truck stops and the golf course. Trustee David Smith voted against the measure.

LOCAL BRIEF Joliet logistics building sold

JOLIET – Midwest Warehouse and Distribution Systems has acquired a 575,000-square-foot building on South Chicago Street.

The company paid $27.8 million for the building, according to REJournals.com.

The building at 3451 S. Chicago St. was sold by Molto Properties.

According to a news release on the sale, Molto leased 209,000 square feet of the building to Otis Elevator Co. in 2014.

Brad Borkowski, general manager for Midwest Warehouse, said in the news release that the company bought the building because of its proximity to intermodal yards, access to interstates and “building functionality.”

The facility was built in 2007.

The Joliet building is Midwest Warehouse’s 14th location in Illinois. The company has 6 million square feet of warehouse space in 18 facilities in five states, according to the news release.

Timothy Thompson of HSA Commercial Real Estate represented Midwest Warehouse in the transaction. Jason West and Sean Henrick with Cushman and Wakefield represented Molto Properties.

Q: Is there a connection between hearing loss and heart disease?

A: The inner ear is extremely sensitive to blood flow. Studies have shown that a healthy cardiovascular system-a person’s heart, arteries and veins-has a positive effect on hearing. Conversely, inadequate blood flow and trauma to the blood vessels of the inner ear can contribute to hearing loss. According to the Better Hearing Institute, one study indicated that the prevalence of hearing loss is greater among those who have a history of heart disease than in the general population. Another study suggested that low frequency hearing loss may be potential indicator of heart disease. February is Heart Month and may be a good time to also have your hearing checked by an audiologist.

Dr. Karen Pastell is a licensed audiologist in Joliet with over 25 years experience.

How would you treat an ankle sprain?

Foot and ankle injuries happen to all of us from time to time. Although it is sometimes hard to tell how serious an injury is at first, here is an easy guide to use until you can reach a doctor.

R.I.C.E. stands for rest, ice, compression and elevation. First, the body must be allowed to recuperate, and that calls for rest. Second, forget the heating pad, at least at first. Ice applied immediately after an injury and for several days following constricts blood vessels, reducing swelling and pain. Third, compression with a bandage also reduces swelling, as well as immobilizing the area. Finally, elevating the foot above the heart prevents blood from pooling around the injury. R.I.C.E. is first aid only, not a replacement.

Icy roads lead to Channahon crash involving school bus, car

CHANNAHON – Traffic was briefly diverted Tuesday morning in Channahon after a weather-related crash involving a school bus and car.

The incident occurred between 7 and 8 a.m., Channahon Police Deputy Chief Adam Bogart said. A Channahon School District 17 bus was traveling north on Tryon Street when a car heading west on West Tow Path Lane slid and collided with the rear of the bus because of icy conditions.

No children were aboard the bus, no injuries were reported and no citations were given, Bogart said.

The collision caused minimal damage to the bus and significant damage to the car.

SHOREWOOD – Police say a Hoffman Estates woman tried stealing panties and smoke detectors last week from Target.

About 3:50 p.m. Thursday, Tracy G. Paschen, 35, came into the store at 1111 Brookforest Ave. in Shorewood with a large purse and put two pairs of $20 panties and four $100 smoke detectors into the bag, Deputy Chief Eric Allen said. Allen said the smoke alarms, which can send notifications through Bluetooth, can be fenced easily by thieves.

“Security followed as she walked out without paying and tried to detain her – which turned into a tug-of-war over the bag,” Allen said. “Paschen then dropped the bag and ran to a car waiting in the Portillo’s parking lot, which [responding] officers stopped as it pulled onto Route 59.”

Paschen, of the 1000 block of Mayfield Lane in Hoffman Estates, was arrested on a charge of shoplifting.

Her getaway driver provided a name that had no criminal record, but “was brought into the interview room [at the station] and fell asleep within three minutes, which

15

is not indicative of a first-time offender,” Allen said.

Officers checked fingerprints and learned Jacob Guerrero, 29, had provided them with his twin brother’s information, Allen said. Guerrero, of the 1500 block of South 60th Court in Cicero, was arrested on a charge of obstructing justice.

Offering more than 50 flavors of popcorn, you’re sure to find the perfect one to enjoy while snuggling at home and watching a romantic comedy. That’s not all though. You’ll find gourmet chocolates, fudge, as well as specials on chocolate-covered strawberries. If you’re looking for something sweet for your sweetie, this is where you’ll find it.

You can’t just enjoy sweets though.

While some may beg to differ, others wouldn’t mind diving into an actual meal, perhaps a lobster tail and steak with two sides. That’s one of the specials on Feb. 12 and 13 at The Shrimp Barn, 125 E. Mondamin St. They’re also offering deals on fresh cod and ocean perch.

Many other local restaurants are expected to offer Valentine’s Day weekend specials, including Lallo’s Bar & Grill, 25365 S. Fryer Street in Channahon and Dock Rotz Tavern, 859 S. Ridge Rd., in Minooka. Call for details.

Your heart may be in love with your valentine, but the rest of your body may be aching from the stresses of everyday life. How about getting relief at Elegant Escapes Salon & Day Spa, 101 W. Wapella St., Minooka? They’ve got many specials throughout February, including couples massages.

There’s a Valentine’s dance on Feb. 13 from 7 p.m. to midnight at the Minooka American Legion Post 1188, 502 Twin Rail Drive in Minooka. Enjoy music, dancing, a raffle, auction and snacks.

And, don’t forget about the kids.

There’s Cinderella’s Ball, a daddy/ daughter event on Feb. 11 at Skateland Recreation Center for girls between 3-10 years of age and their daddy dates.

LOCKPORT – Lockport area middle school cheerleaders nabbed first place in a statewide competition for small team routine.

The team from Kelvin Grove Middle School outmatched 26 teams from schools in Paris, Bradley, Wilmington, Channahon and other communities in the small routine division for the Illinois Elementary School Association State Cheerleading competition in Peoria.

Eighth-grade team captain Sawyer Hollatz said the team wasn’t good when they first trained last May but they kept practicing until they were good enough to win Jan. 23 in the small routine division.

“It was a lot of hard work,” Hollatz said.

The IESA cheerleading competition has become the fastest-growing event for the organization since its debut about 15 years ago, according to the IESA website. This year’s event was held in the Exhibit Hall at the Peoria Civic Center.

Alaina Alberico, another eighthgrade team captain, said the cheerleaders tried to “step it up” to win.

“It didn’t go as planned when we

competed, so everyone didn’t think we won but then when we won, it felt good,” she said.

This year was the fifth consecutive state championship win for Kelvin Grove and the eighth title overall in the past 15 years. The team was most intimidating to Kelvin Grove cheerleaders was the team from Bradley Central Middle School.

“We competed against them early in our season in a location competition and they were pretty good,” said Lynn Krumlinde, head coach for the cheerleaders. Karli Pattison also is a coach for the team.

Hollatz said cheerleaders on the team have to do a lot of conditioning, stunting, drills, tumbling and jumps to be able to do well.

“They really did it together,” Krumlinde said about the teams’ win.

Other Kelvin Grove cheerleaders include Ella Dalaskey, Zoe Ditter, Chloe Wolf, Autumn Schultz, Danyelle Power, Sydney Furr, Raigan Stibal, Adriana Sosa Tara Warsaw, Alexis Karpinski and Grady Travis.

Kelvin Grove cheerleaders hoist their trophy for the Jan. 23 Illinois Elementary School Association State Cheerleading competition in Peoria.

Continued from page 3 Crest Hill school.

The celebration of black history at JJC needs to connect with students, Edwards said.

“If we’re going to honor our history but also learn how to celebrate it, we’ll have to bridge generations, if you will,” he said.

He said the black barbershop event used to be a PowerPoint presentation, but since coming to JJC in 2014, he

wanted to reinvigorate it.

He said the barbershop brings everyone – politicians, business owners, residents – together. He wanted the JJC barbershop event to create an atmosphere that would unite students.

This year is Edwards’ second coordinating the event and he said the goal of Black History Month is to cover a wide range of programming and make it specific to students.

“We do have a great system here where people are supportive from various cultures that makes Black History Month successful at campus,” he said.

The newest program this year was a presentation by DePaul University associate professor Nancy Davis called “Understanding Post-Traumatic Slave Syndrome and Why Black Lives Matter.”

Edwards said that was the most-attended program in two years.

“It was also the most diverse. We had many cultures represented,” he said.

Other events that have taken place at JJC include programs on the legacy of dance in African-American culture and HIV in the black community.

Next week will include a screening of Spike Lee’s “School Daze” and the sixth annual Black Teen Summit Conference for local high school students, Edwards said.

Two young barbers helped Sims give haircuts to students Friday at JJC. He said he’s proud to see young men and women at Champions Beauty-Barber University develop skills and go on to become entrepreneurs and business owners, as he said the barber is seen as an important and respected figure.

“Somebody to aspire to become,” he said.

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS The progressive wish list, Train crash in Germany kills at least 10, injures 80 which comes as the nation’s

BAD AIBLING, Germany – Crews using helicopters and boats rescued dozens of people from the wreckage of two German commuter trains that crashed head-on Tuesday in an isolated part of Bavaria, killing at least 10 and leaving authorities trying to determine why multiple safety measures failed.

The trains crashed on a stretch of track running between a river and a forest about 40 miles southeast of Munich. Though the first rescue crews were on the scene in minutes, it took hours for all survivors to be airlifted and shuttled by boat across the river to waiting ambulances.

Nine people were reported dead immediately while a 10th died later in a hospital, police spokesman Stefan Sonntag said.

The two train engineers were thought to be among the dead and one person was still missing in the wreckage.

Obama unveils record election-year budget

WASHINGTON –President Barack Obama on Tuesday unveiled a record $4.1 trillion, election-year budget that finances Democratic priorities such as education, health care and climate change with new taxes on crude oil, the wealthy and big banks.

long-term fiscal outlook is deteriorating, underscores the initiatives pushed by Democratic candidates, Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders, who hope to succeed Obama. Republicans dismissed the proposal as a taxand-spend exercise.

Officials: IS determined to strike U.S. this year

WASHINGTON – Leaders of the Islamic State are determined to strike targets in the United States this year, senior U.S. intelligence officials said Tuesday, telling lawmakers that a small group of violent extremists will attempt to overcome the logistical challenges of mounting such an attack.

In testimony before congressional committees, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper and other officials described the Islamic State as the “pre-eminent terrorist threat.”

The militant group can “direct and inspire attacks against a wide range of targets around the world,” Clapper said.

Marine Lt. Gen. Vincent Stewart, director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, said the Islamic State will probably conduct additional attacks in Europe and then attempt the same in the U.S.

Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders smiles as he greets attendees Monday during a campaign stop at the University of New Hampshire Whittemore Center Arena in Durham, N.H.

Trump, Sanders sweep to victory in New Hampshire The ASSOCIATED PRESS MANCHESTER, N.H. – Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Bernie Sanders rode a wave of voter frustration with American politics to commanding victories in Tuesday’s New Hampshire primaries, adding crucial credibility to their upstart candidacies.

Sanders swept majorities of men, women, independents and young people in his win over Hillary Clinton, but faces challenges in the more diverse states to come next on the primary calendar. Trump appealed to those seeking a political outsider, and he could benefit from a persistent lack of clarity among the more mainstream Republicans struggling to challenge him.

“We are going to do something so good and so fast and so strong and the world is going to respect us again, believe me,” Trump said at a victory rally.

At his own raucous rally, Sanders said his victory sent a message “that will echo from Wall Street to Washington, from Maine to California. And that is that the government of our great country belongs to all of the people and not just a handful of wealthy campaign contributors and their super PACs.” The enthusiasm behind Trump, a real estate mogul who has never held political office, and Sanders, who says he is a democratic socialist, underscores the public’s anger with the current political and economic system. Even if neither candidate ultimately becomes his party’s nominee, whoever wins that nomination

will have to reckon with the voter frustration they’ve tapped into.

Clinton appeared to recognize that reality in her concession speech, echoing Sanders’ calls for taking on Wall Street banks and tackling income inequality. But she cast herself as more prepared to make good on her pledges.

“People have every right to be angry. But they’re also hungry, they’re hungry for solutions,” she said after congratulating Sanders on his win.

New Hampshire did little to clarify the crowded contest among more mainstream GOP candidates fighting to emerge as a challenger to Trump and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, who won the Iowa caucus. Ohio Gov. John Kasich claimed second place after devoting almost all of his campaign resources to New Hampshire, while Florida Sen. Marco Rubio and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush battled for third, along with Cruz.

In the midst of a heated primary campaign, Kasich has prided himself on not attacking his rivals. He told supporters Tuesday night that his second-place finish could be an indication that “we’re turning the page on a dark part of American politics.”

The day was a blow for Rubio, who had appeared to be breaking away from the second-tier Republican pack after a stronger-than-expected showing in Iowa. But he stumbled in Saturday’s debate under intense pressure from New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who has relentlessly cast the young senator as too inexperienced and too reliant on memorized talking points to become president.

OPINIONS

Ill. needs change, not more of the same SPRINGFIELD – Every once in a while an idea so stupid gets floated in Springfield that it just takes one’s breath away.

This past week, Secretary of State Jesse White spoke such a thought.

His idea for solving the budget impasse in Springfield?

Lock House Speaker Mike Madigan and Gov. Bruce Rauner in a room and have three former governors mediate the dispute.

Reporters immediately focused in on White’s call for George Ryan to be one of the three “wise men” to mediate.

White was asked whether Ryan’s conviction on charges of racketeering, conspiracy and fraud made it appropriate for him to be involved in budget discussions.

“That’s OK, but we’re not talking about corruption right now, we’re talking about good government,” White told Illinois Radio Network.

Huh? In fairness to White, I think what he means is that we didn’t have conflicts like this when Ryan or the other members of his proposed trio – Ryan, Jim Edgar and James Thompson – were the state’s chief executives.

That’s because they went along to get along. Ryan and Thompson, along with Madigan, ramped up the state’s spending and left state government finances in precarious condition when each left office.

And Jim Edgar reminds me of my favorite Mark Twain quote: “An honest man in politics shines more there than he would elsewhere.”

And yes, Edgar is honest. But he is no revolutionary.

The crowning achievement of Edgar’s time in office was the so-called Edgar Ramp, which was touted as a cure for the state’s pension woes.

A better name for it would be the “Edgar Time Bomb.” In case you haven’t noticed, the bomb has gone off. And that smoldering crater? It’s the Land of Lincoln.

Back in the 1990s, Edgar, legislative leaders and union bosses reached a grand compromise that called for having low annual pension payments while Edgar was in office and higher ones when future governors were in office. And those negotiating the compromise played

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

REEDER REPORT Scott Reeder make believe.

They pretended that future Illinois politicians were going to be better behaved than past ones. They imagined no one was ever going to skip a pension payment again. And they even planned that no future governor would ever promise overly generous pension benefits to the government union bosses who helped them get elected.

They even conjured up unrealistic expectations of future prosperity to pay those ever-escalating pension payments.

Well, Illinois now has an unfunded pension liability of $113 billion – by far the biggest in the nation.

And our state’s finances are in disarray in part because about 25 percent of every tax dollar going into state government gets sucked away to pay for those pensions.

And what’s Mike Madigan solution? Raise taxes again. But now he’s dealing with a governor not willing to acquiesce.

Rauner has said he will not support a tax increase until the state undergoes fundamental political and economic reforms.

A stance to which Madigan has dug in his heels and said “no.”

But unlike past Illinois governors, Rauner isn’t budging either.

Change is hard.

It threatens Madigan’s power.

But Illinois needs reform. The only way Illinois can remove itself from this cycle of despair is to change how it operates.

But that’s not the sage advice Rauner would likely receive from Jesse White’s proposed trinity of political mentors. After all, they are products of the current political system.

But change is what Illinois needs. And Bruce Rauner needs to stand strong.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Letter: Honoring Phil Rock

To the Editor: In a few days, a man will be laid to rest who was a dedicated husband, father, friend and 22-year legislator. Serving as president of the Illinois State Senate, Rock worked with his colleagues to create the Regional Transportation Authority – the unit of local government charged with regional, financial and budgetary oversight, as well as funding and transit planning for the CTA, Metra and Pace Suburban Bus and Pace Americans with Disabilities Act Paratransit Service.

In his book, “Nobody Calls Just to Say Hello,” Senator Rock describes 1973 as a contentious year for transit. “All the public transportation services were on their own and threatening to increase fares significantly or stop running,” Rock wrote. “Public transportation provided a crisis atmosphere in Springfield.”

For years, Rock would invite new members, especially downstaters, to spend the evening in his Oak Park home so he could take them to the Lake Street

“L” (now the Green Line) at 7:15 a.m. to witness the thousands of early morning commuters. He once said to a senator from the city of Anna, “There are more people on this train at this moment than you have in your whole county.” He clearly understood the impact our transit network had on the economy of the entire state.

Thanks to Senator’s Rock dedication and vision, today the RTA region’s system covers about 3,700 square miles and serves approximately 8.4 million residents providing 2 million daily rides each workday.

I had the honor to work with Senator Rock in numerous scenarios and always considered him the consummate gentleman and a personal role model; and now I have the honor of carrying out his passion for the RTA. I wish I could pick up the phone right now just to say thanks and “hello.”

BOYS BASKETBALL: LINCOLN WAY-EAST 63, JOLIET WEST 59

THE GRIFFINS’ BIGGEST VICTORY Lincoln-Way East holds off Joliet West’s comeback attempt

By DICK GOSS

dgoss@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A boys basketball season that has seen its share of surprising results in the Joliet area has a new entry.

Lincoln-Way East came to Joliet West on Tuesday night with a 5-15 overall record and a 1-8 mark in the SouthWest Suburban Blue. The Griffins returned home 6-15, 2-8.

Sophomore Sam Shafer scored 18 points, junior Max Shafer 14 and sophomore Zach Parduhn 12 as East held off West’s final comeback attempt with excellent free-throw shooting to secure a 63-59 victory. The Griffins hit 12 of 14

fourth-quarter free throws and 16 of 18 in the second half.

“This our our biggest win, no doubt,” Max Shafer said. “The last time we played them, we hung with them for a half. That’s been the thing for us. We’ve had bad second halves all year. Today we gutted it out.”

West (14-8, 5-5) applied heavy fullcourt pressure throughout the fourth quarter. After trailing by as much as 51-42, the Tigers, on the strength of their offensive rebounding, clawed back within 53-51 and then 54-53 with 1:23 left. But Max and Sam Shafer, Parduhn and junior Nick Marietti put it away from the foul line.

“We knew we just had to handle the ball against their press, and we could get some easy layups, which we did,” Max Shafer said. “They hurt us with offensive rebounds in the fourth quarter, and we’ve been struggling with that part of the game all year.”

East led, 26-24, at halftime, then trailed by two points three times in the third quarter, when Trevian Bell scored 10 points for West. But Max Shafer’s traditional 3-point play at the third-quarter buzzer gave the Griffins a 41-40 lead they would not relinquish.

“Down the stretch we showed poise,” East coach Rich Kolimas said. “They made a late run when we

couldn’t get a rebound. But we handled the ball pretty well. Their defense is predicated on trapping, and we kept our heads up and made some good decisions.”

“We handled the ball better than we have been,” said Sam Shafer, who dropped 26 points on the Tigers in the first meeting. “Today, we didn’t freak out when we got trapped. We’re capable of playing with anyone if we play like we did tonight.”

“Both Shafers came up big,” Kolimas said. “Sam made big decisions and Max’s moxie ... he’s so strong.”

26 BOYS BASKETBALL: STAGG 63, JOLIET CENTRAL 43

Steelmen start poorly, can’t recover against Chargers

By CURT HERRON

cherron@shawmedia.com PALOS HILLS – There haven’t been many times this season where Joliet Central’s boys basketball team wasn’t in a game.

But a poor start in Tuesday’s SouthWest Suburban Conference Blue contest at Stagg pretty much assured that there wouldn’t be a whole lot of drama at the end.

The Steelmen fell behind 20-3 late in the opening quarter and couldn’t recover as they wound up dropping a 63-43 decision to the Chargers.

Beside seeing his squad fall three games behind SWSC Blue leader Homewood-Flossmoor, coach Jeff Corcoran hopes that the Steelmen will quickly

move on from this rough outing.

“We talk all of the time about how you can’t play a game on the road in this conference and give up 20 points while scoring three points in the first quarter,” Corcoran said. “The effort in that quarter completely changed the tempo of the game since we were chasing after that.

“You hate to pin it on the kids in situations because you’re going to have off nights, but the effort just wasn’t there tonight. You don’t want a loss, but at the same time if something like this is going to happen, I guess I’d rather it happen now than during the regional.”

The Steelmen (11-10, 6-4) actually scored six points during the initial eight minutes, but Corcoran was re-

luctant to count the final three since they came on a 3-pointer at the buzzer

by Taquan Sims (eight points).

During the forgettable opening period, Central connected on just 1 of 9 from the floor and turned the ball over seven times before the last-second bucket.

Meanwhile, the Chargers (14-7, 6-4) basically guaranteed that it would sweep the season series with the Steelmen after using four treys to help it go on a 16-1 run.

After Stagg scored the first basket in the second quarter, the Steelmen used five points from Jose Grubbs (13 points, 11 rebounds) to spark a 6-0 spurt that got them as close as they would get the rest of the way at 22-12.

Central, which also received nine

points and seven rebounds from Malik Fuller, trailed 29-16 at halftime before the Chargers opened the final half with the initial five points. The visitors were unable to get any closer than 14 points back after that.

The Steelmen connected on only 4 of 19 shots from the floor in the first half and finished shooting just 13 of 41 for the contest (31.7 percent). Meanwhile, Stagg made good on 10 of 15 after the break to give them 21 of 35 for the game (60.0 percent).

Game-high scoring honors went to Stagg’s John Contant, who finished with 21 points and six rebounds. Other top scorers for the Chargers were Shane McMahon (14 points), Josh Strama (seven points) and Jaswon Finley (seven points).

carried us,” West coach Nick DiForti said. “We had the guys look for him, Continued from page 25 but they played good defense and applied good pressure on him.”

Eddie Creal chipped in with 12 Bell led all scorers with 25 points on 11-of-21 shooting. He hit five of his first points and eight rebounds for West.

But the Tigers hurried some 3-point atsix shots in the second half.

“Bell is a great player,” Sam Shafer tempts, especially in the second half, and finished 4 of 27 from beyond the said.

“Trevian stepped up in spurts and arc. In addition, East held a 38-31 re-

bounding edge as Sam and Max Shafer combined for 14 boards.

“They (Griffins) did a great job handling our pressure, and we were a little slow recovering on the back side when we were trapping,” DiForti said. “We knew that playing that way we would give up some layups, but not as many as we did.

“Our whole season has gone like

It’s shame when a professional sports team sports a record so bad that it becomes a laughingstock.

The Philadelphia 76ers, who are 8-44 in the NBA Atlantic Division, qualify for that label.

When a team is 36 games below .500 and has not reached double figures in victories, followers of the NBA get a nice chuckle and have little sympathy for what the team is experiencing.

Of course, the 76ers do have talent, as do all the other NBA teams. Jahlil Okafor, for example, is a star now and will be for years to come.

Other than Okafor, however, only avid NBA fans would be able to name many more 76ers. They are not loaded with household names.

Laboring in that obscurity is 6-foot10 rookie forward Richaun Holmes.

The Lockport graduate and former Bowling Green standout is a late bloomer as far as basketball résumés go, and he is continuing to improve his game.

Holmes has played in 36 games and is averaging 6.1 points, 2.5 rebounds, 0.6 assists and 0.3 steals. He is shooting 55 percent from the floor and .685 from the throw line.

His best offensive games came when he scored 18 points against Utah on Dec. 28, 17 against Minnesota on

28 IHSA COMPETITIVE CHEERLEADING STATE FINALS

Providence runner-up in large team

By CURT HERRON

cherron@shawmedia.com NEW LENOX – To go from having a squad that didn’t even qualify for state a year ago to claiming second place in its class this season is quite a feat.

That’s why Providence Catholic’s competitive cheerleading team is obviously proud of its second-place finish in the large team division at last weekend’s IHSA finals in Bloomington.

After posting the highest score in Friday’s preliminaries, a 93.53, the Celtics turned in the second-best score in Saturday’s finals, a 93.13. Joliet West recorded a 94.7 in the final round to capture the large team title.

The second-place effort marked the fourth time in six years that coach Laura Duesing’s program has earned a trophy for a top-three showing at state.

“I can tell you the girls were so excited to be back at the U.S. Cellular Coliseum and to have the privilege to represent Providence Catholic and compete on the state floor,” Duesing said. “Their comeback story continued and after a great Day One performance, we were one of 10 teams to advance to the finals on Saturday with the highest score of the day out of 100 teams across all four divisions. We knew Day Two was going to be a battle.

“The sport of competitive high school cheerleading is very strong in the state of Illinois. And Illinois high school cheerleading, as a whole, is one of the strongest states in the country.

We are proud of the girls for achieving first runner-up at the state finals and for walking to the podium for the fourth time in the last six years. From not qualifying for state last season to second place in the state this season is quite an accomplishment for these young ladies. They are a special group of girls and I am proud to be their coach.”

Duesing heaped praise on her five seniors – Alli Bebar, Sera Cummings, Bridget Fudala, Nikki Glynn and Carson Sineni – who all were members of the school’s state championship squad in 2013 and also were on the 2014 squad that finished third. In addition, all 20 squad members made the honor roll in both the first and second quarters this year.

“We didn’t have official captains this season; instead the five seniors led the team together with their individual strengths and contributions,” Duesing said. “When I say they are a special group of girls, I say that with pride in my heart. I call them my Celtic daughters. The five seniors are the most accomplished PC cheerleaders to date.

“They are three-time trophy winners and are three-time sectional champions. That’s quite a bit of hardware.

But it is more than the hardware, the seniors are also great leaders and sisters to the freshmen and juniors; they are so supportive and nurturing to the younger girls. It truly is like a family of 20 sisters. We are going to miss our seniors next year, but we wish them well the rest of their senior year and in the years to come.”

The disappointment of missing out on state after advancing for nine straight years proved to be a huge motivating factor.

“January 31st, 2015 was one of the hardest, most-challenging days we have faced as a cheerleading program,” Glynn said. “It was a day in which we learned a lesson that shaped this season immensely. Although our dreams were crushed, the motivation to work harder and come back even stronger drove the mentality of our team. We made a promise to each other that we would do anything and everything to make this season one to remember.

“Our commitment to the team enabled us to create many memories that will last a lifetime. The outcome was a blessing from God and we could not

be more grateful for the best team we could have ever imagined. This team has been more than simply a team, but a family. Providence Catholic cheer has a bond that’s indescribable and a value that’s immeasurable. We are often overwhelmed by emotions because of how special our team is.”

Winning a third trophy was not only a great way for the seniors to go out but also provides plenty of optimism for next season.

“This past weekend, is more than simply a second-place victory,” Bebar said. “It was a weekend filled with laughs and smiles, along with the enjoyment of spending two final performances with this amazing team.

Stepping onto the floor seeing the sea of green, we were able to visualize the support that we had behind us.

We could not be more thankful for the huge amount of help and support that we have received along this journey.

“Most of all, we would like to thank our coaches. They truly have become our second parents. Cheerleading is something they all love, and the hard work and effort they put in to make this team great is appreciated immensely.

This season has been the best that we could ask for with memories and bonds that will last a lifetime. We truly did let the dogs out and got back to where we started from.”

At $3 million for one season and with a history of sustained success, right-hander Mat Latos was “too good to pass up.”

The White Sox addressed an area of need Tuesday by signing the 28-year-old right-hander to a relatively inexpensive deal, adding depth to a rotation that looks good up top with lefties Chris Sale, Jose Quintana and Carlos Rodon but vulnerable at Nos. 4 and 5 with unproven right- Mat Latos hander Erik Johnson and veteran lefty John Danks.

With Latos, the competition in spring training, which begins next week, just got tougher. Jacob Turner, claimed off waivers from the Cubs before signing as a $1.5 million free agent, had been the only other name in the rotation mix.

“Mat adds another quality veteran arm to our rotation and also increases our overall pitching depth, which always is

essential to having a successful season,” general manager Rick Hahn said. “While we believe in the futures of several of our young starters, the chance to add a pitcher of Mat’s caliber was too good of an opportunity for us to pass up. He has proven over his career that when healthy, he takes the baseball and logs quality innings.”

Coming off elbow and knee problems, Latos was limited to 1122⁄3 innings in 2015, pitching to a combined 4.95 ERA with the Miami Marlins, Los Angeles Dodgers and Los Angeles Angels in 2015. From 2010 to 2014, he posted ERAs of 2.92, 3.47, 3.48, 3.16 and 3.25 with the San Diego Padres and Cincinnati Reds, averaging 32 starts and almost 200 innings over a four-year stretch. His career ERA is a tidy 3.51.

Latos, described by some as a boisterous sort in the clubhouse, created a stir last February when he ripped former Reds teammates and the team’s medical staff, suggesting he was rushed back too soon after surgery.

“After we lost Scott Rolen [after 2012] everything went to [expletive],” Latos said. “When Scott was there, we had guys

doing exactly what they were supposed to do. After Scott left, we had guys with two years in the big leagues, in the clubhouse, on their phones, laying down in the video room, just hanging out during games, not in the dugout, not cheering their teammates on. Our dugout looked like a ghost town.

“We lose that veteran leadership, that’s what happens. You can’t have that ... it turns into a circus.”

Reds manager Bryan Price called Latos’ comments “a bunch of tabloid B.S. that’s unnecessary.”

Said veteran Skip Schumaker defended the training staff and said of Latos’ departure: “I’ll just say it’s addition by subtraction and I’ll leave it at that.”

Latos will be reunited with new Sox third baseman Todd Frazier, acquired from the Reds in a December trade. Frazier, a two-time All-Star, played with Latos for three seasons in Cincinnati.

Note: The Sox also signed 32-year-old first baseman Travis Ishikawa to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.

Jones makes 33 saves, Sharks blank Hawks The ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO – Martin Jones made 33 saves for his fifth shutout and Patrick Marleau scored a power-play goal in the second period to lead the San Jose Sharks past the Blackhawks 2-0 on Tuesday night.

Joe Thornton added a long empty-netter with 1:42 left. Marleau’s goal, on the Sharks’ only man advantage, ended his six-game drought and was just his second in his last 17.

But it was all the offense San Jose needed to improve to 18-8-2 on the road, best in the Western Conference. The Sharks, who ended Blackhawks’ three-game winning streak, are 10-2-2 in their last 14. Jones rebounded to earn his 12th career shutout after allowing five goals on 29 shots in a 6-2 loss Saturday at Nashville. He is 9-2-1 in his last 12 starts and 16-5-2 on the road.

It is my responsibility to protect my baby girl, and I’m extra-cautious because I was molested as a young girl. I can’t discuss this with Mom because she doesn’t know about what happened to me, and I know this would cause a huge fight between us.

How can I limit George’s contact with Ella while still giving Mom the time she wants with her? Is this intuition or paranoia? – Cautious

your mother not know what happened to you as a child?

Did you stay silent because you were afraid you wouldn’t be believed? Because you wanted to protect her? Because your abuser was your father? You should have told her. It was her job to protect you.

I think the time has come for you to let her know what happened and how it has affected you. While I can appreciate your reason for not trusting men, not all men are molesters. If you would feel better keeping a close eye on your daughter’s interactions with males until she’s old enough to know what kind of touches are appropriate and which ones are not, that’s your privilege.

Parents should set good example for children who are overweight Dear Dr. K: My 12-year-old is overweight.

How can I help him achieve a healthy weight without making him feel deprived?

Dear Reader: Being overweight makes it hard for a child to keep up with friends on the playground. And the teasing can be merciless. What’s more, kids who are overweight are at greater risk for lots of health problems as teens and later in life.

Children who are overweight or obese are more likely to develop high blood pressure, high cholesterol and heart disease as adults.

Long-term obesity also increases the risk of arthritis, diabetes and certain kinds of cancer.

The best way to help your son get back to a healthy weight is to get your entire family to exercise regularly and eat a sensible diet.

Your son is less likely to feel deprived if his food and activities are the same as the rest of the family.

Here are some specific tips: • Encourage at least one hour of exercise every day.

• Plan family activities that involve exercise. Try bicycling, walking, hiking and swimming.

• Limit television, computer and video game time to no more than one to two hours a day.

• Switch to low-fat or nonfat milk (except for children younger than 2 years old and women trying to become pregnant) and reduced-fat cheeses and yogurts.

• Drink water instead of soda or juice.

• Limit fried and high-fat foods.

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff • Try to eat at least five servings each day of fruits and vegetables.

• Keep a variety of fruits and vegetables on hand. Serve them as snacks instead of cookies, chips, ice cream or other high-fat foods.

• Trim visible fat from meat and remove skin from poultry before cooking.

• When eating out, encourage the family to choose lower-fat items, such as a grilled chicken sandwich instead of a fried burger or pasta with tomato sauce instead of pepperoni pizza.

Never severely restrict your child’s calories. Children who are overweight still need three well-balanced meals and one or two nutritious snacks each day to have enough energy to learn, play and grow to their full potential. In addition, children should not follow fad diets, which might not have important nutrients children require.

If you need more guidance, your pediatrician can refer you to a nutritionist or registered dietician.

There are two main messages here. First, overweight children are at increased risk of several diseases later in life. Second, children are much more likely to behave in a certain way if they see you behaving that way.

When was this spoken? “The national budget must be balanced.

The public debt must be reduced; the arrogance of the authorities must be moderated and controlled. Payments to foreign governments must be reduced, if the nation doesn’t want to go bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance.”

Here is a deal in which East must assist his side’s cause. South is in three no-trump. West leads his fourth-highest spade. What happens after that?

Note North’s response. He should not think about five clubs, even though in this deal, three no-trump can be defeated and five clubs will make! However, this is a rarity. The converse will be the case much more often.

I have one other guideline for you: When you have a singleton king, mentally imagine that it is king-doubleton.

After applying the Rule of Eleven (five from 11 is six), East knows that South has two spades higher than the five -- and that they will not be the ace and 10, because West would have led the nine from a suit headed by the 9-8-6-5.

At trick one, East must unblock and signal with his spade queen -when you cannot win the trick, play the top of touching honors.

South will take the club finesse at trick two, but it will lose, and West will continue with a low spade to his partner’s jack. Then the spade-seven return through South’s 10 gives the defenders one club and four spades.

The opening passage was spoken

by Cicero, in 55 B.C.
