Joliet Park District board names Tom Carstens new executive director

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS

lleonecross@shawmedia.com

JOLIET – The Joliet Park District named a new executive director Thursday night.

The board unanimously approved a three-year, $135,000-a-year contract with Tom Carstens, who will leave his job as executive director at the Frankfort Park District – a position he has held since 2010 – to join the Joliet Park District.

The contract approval comes four months after the Joliet district’s longtime top exec – Dominic Egizio – resigned from his $160,000-a-year job amid an investigation into complaints made by a female Park District employee.

“It’s been a roller coaster day. I met with my staff this morning and let them know my future is with the Joliet Park Dis-

said he looks forward to working with the district. Before joining the Frankfort Park District, Carstens said he served as deputy director at the Bolingbrook Park District for 14 years.

“Being in the field 34 years, what I’ve known about the Joliet Park District is excellence,” he said. “And I hope to continue that and only enhance that. I know we’ll do great things.”

Board Commissioner Timothy Broderick said Thursday he trusts that under Carstens’ leadership, “the Joliet community will be well-served.”

Marcum said after the meeting Thursday he hopes the arrival of new leadership will give the district the opportunity to move past Egizio’s resignation.

Egizio had been executive director since 2004. He had worked 26 years with the district.

IDOT files motion to permanently close Walter Strawn Drive crossing in Elwood

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS

lleonecross@shawmedia.com

CHICAGO – The Illinois Department of Transportation has filed a motion with the Illinois Commerce Commission to terminate an ongoing case over safety at the Walter Strawn Drive railroad crossing in Elwood and permanently close the controversial crossing.

The ICC ruled in January 2014 to shut down the railroad crossing – previously a major access point for truckers to the nearby CenterPoint Properties intermodals – amid safety concerns.

In a motion filed this week by IDOT attorney Doug Felder, the state agency noted issues related to safety at the crossing have been resolved by the closure. No one has advocated during IDOT’s quarterly meetings for the crossing to reopen, according to the motion.

“Although the closure of the crossing has not eliminated traffic issues in the general area, these traffic issues do not involve railroad crossings within the [ICC’s]

trict, so it was pretty emotional,” Carstens told board members Thursday. “I can’t explain how excited I am to work with the [Joliet] staff and the park district.”

Carstens starts April 13. Park District Finance Director Matt Pehle will continue to serve as interim executive director until that time. Pehle has been at the helm since Egizio was placed on leave in August.

When asked if he wished the executive director position opened up under better circumstances, Carstens said “of course,” but that he is “looking forward to the future, not the past.”

The district in October hired the Illinois Association of Park Districts to conduct a search for candidates for the job.

Joliet Park District Board President Glen Marcum said Carstens was selected from a pool of 10 candidates.

Carstens, who lives in Bolingbrook,

jurisdiction,” the motion states.

There is no need to continue the proceedings, according to the motion, because the ICC – which governs the state’s railway system – does not have jurisdiction over regional highway matters.

The closure order called for IDOT to complete two engineering and environmental studies, one that looks at a grade separation in the vicinity of the crossing and another covering traffic options on Route 53 from Route 52 south to West Arsenal Road. The first study will be submitted to IDOT by the end of February, the motion states.

In a statement from the village of Elwood, Police Chief Fred Hayes said the village supports permanently closing the crossing to prevent future tragedies.

He added Elwood officials would rather the ICC administrative law judge continue overseeing IDOT’s progress in addressing regional truck traffic.

“However, to ensure that IDOT remains committed to protecting the safety of Will County residents and those family

members and friends participating in funeral processions en route to the Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery, Elwood would prefer that [the ICC administrative law judge] continue to hold the agency responsible for the truck traffic safety situation along Route 53,” Hayes said.

IDOT’s second study is not subject to ICC’s direction.

In an emailed statement provided by Michael Murphy, chief development officer for CenterPoint Properties, Murphy declined to say whether the real estate developer agrees with IDOT’s motion, citing pending litigation.

Murphy said in the email that CenterPoint “has been consistent in calling for a regionally sensible and safe long-term traffic solution to deal with truck traffic” and that “this goes beyond the existing closure of Walter Strawn Drive.”

Safety has always been the highest priority in the development of the intermodals and CenterPoint remains committed to being a good corporate neighbor, Murphy said in the email.

Will County Coroner Pat O’Neil has been tracking heroin deaths in Will County since 1999.

NO LONGER AN INNER CITY PROBLEM

Cheap heroin, high potency, rise in prescription opioid abuse behind spike in deaths

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS

lleonecross@shawmedia.com

JOLIET – When Will County leaders saw a record-breaking 53 heroin-related overdose deaths in 2012, they got to work to try to bring the number down.

Community outreach efforts surged, as did the creation of support groups and education forums for high school students. The number of deaths dropped to 38 in 2013 and 35 in 2014.

“We thought we had hit the pinnacle and that maybe some of what we were doing was helping,” Will County Executive Larry Walsh Sr. said. “The education forums, mostly in the high schools, the service announcements, the action we were getting on the radio, in the newspaper, to get the word out that this epidemic knows no boundaries.”

But in 2015, the drug claimed another 53 victims in Will County – 19 of whom were 30 or younger. The death rate was highest in rural Braidwood, where four people fell prey to the drug in a town of

just 6,100. Nineteen died in Joliet or Joliet Township. Five died in Romeoville, while three each died in the municipalities of Lockport, Plainfield and New Lenox. The other deaths were spread throughout the county.

Six tested positive for fentanyl, a lethally potent heroin substitute, according to the coroner’s office. Fentanyl-laced heroin was the culprit behind 74 overdoses in 72 hours in Chicago this past fall.

There appears to be some silver lining: Fewer young people died from overdoses in 2015 compared to 2012.

In 2015, 19 people – or 36 percent – were age 30 or younger, while in 2012, 32 – or 60 percent – were 30 or younger.

More than half of the 35 people who died from heroin-related overdoses in 2014 were 30 or younger.

Three overdose deaths were caused by heroin in 2015 in Grundy County, while one was caused by morphine and two others caused by cocaine, Chief Deputy Coroner Christian Hintze-Sy-

Heroin overdose deaths also are on the rise in neighboring DuPage County, according to the coroner’s office. Forty-three heroin deaths were recorded last year, compared to 33 in 2014. DuPage hit a record of 46 in 2013.

Fueled by cheap prices, higher potency

The rise in Will County’s death toll has been fueled, in part, by cheap heroin prices, a rise in prescription opioid abuse and higher potency rates than

in past years, State’s Attorney Jim Glasgow said early this week at an opioid discussion forum.

Drugs are being smuggled into the U.S. and into Chicago, where the supply trickles down into Will County and other collar counties, he said.

Glasgow said his drug unit, through partnerships with local law enforcement, arrested more than 130 drug dealers between 2010 and 2014. The problem is Will County’s proximity to the city of Chicago.

“Our street cops are … doing fantastic work out there, taking out the suppliers,” Glasgow said. “No dealer can last very long in this county because we have a network of informants, our officers have eyes and ears everywhere, and sooner or later you’re going to be selling to a police officer wearing a wire and you’re going to prison.”

Coroner Pat O’Neil said the tally may have been much higher if it were not for

Pub lease awaits City Council’s approval TIF district also will be on Tuesday’s agenda

“It’s a huge, very costly project.

It cannot be taken lightly.”

Gregory Lesiak

Prospective co-owner of the Golden Spike the Golden Spike plans to can beer for retail sale.

By BOB OKON

bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The prospective co-owner of a downtown brew pub said Thursday that he will try to open this fall.

Gregory Lesiak was at a meeting of the Joliet City Council Economic Development Committee, which recommended that a lease agreement for the brew pub at Union Station go to the full City Council for a vote on Tuesday.

Lesiak did not say much about his plans at the meeting and later told The Herald-News that he wanted to wait until the lease was finalized before doing an interview about the plans.

But he did tell the committee that he hopes to open in the fall and the brew pub would be named Golden Spike.

Lesiak told The Herald-News later that this would be the first brew pub that he and his partner have opened.

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

The city is hoping to bring a brew pub to Union Station in downtown Joliet. that eventually would rise to $102,000 a year.

The city also would give Golden Spike credits up to $300,000 for the cost of improvements at Union Station for the brew pub, meaning it could operate in the initial three years without paying rent depending on how much is spent on renovations.

“It’s a huge, very costly project. It cannot be taken lightly,” Lesiak told the committee. “The help from the city is almost everything.”

Committee Chairman Larry Hug

called the lease “very fair,” noting that one part of the area to be used by the brew pub actually has a dirt floor.

“There’s a lot of work to do,” Hug said.

The Golden Spike would use an area that housed two previous bars that went out of business at Union Station.

It also would use the former Amtrak office and other space, taking up about half of the first floor of the station that stopped being used for train travel in 2014.

In addition to running a brew pub,

Also going to the City Council for a vote Tuesday is a proposal to create a tax increment financing district in areas south and west of Presence Saint Joseph Medical Center.

The TIF district is seen as a way to encourage redevelopment of certain properties and bring more health care providers to the hospital neighborhood.

The committee recommended approval of the TIF proposal, which would run west to the Joliet Junction Trail and south to Jefferson Street.

“When you look at Saint Joseph, they’ve shown a great deal of loyalty to Joliet,” Hug said. He said the TIF district could create opportunities for Presence to attract other health care providers it would like to see close to the hospital.

TIF districts are used to encourage development by allowing a developer to keep increased property taxes generated by improvements to offset certain construction costs.

Fairmont D-89 board approves freezing all district-issued cards

By FELIX SARVER

fsarver@shawmedia.com LOCKPORT – Two Fairmont School District 89 Board members were in heavy dispute over selecting a new board member and freezing district-issued credit cards.

At a special meeting Thursday, the Board of Education approved Richard Myers as the new board member to replace Robert Loewe, who resigned in January.

The board also approved the immediate freezing of all district-issued credit cards for what board President Katie Ulmer alleged was misuse of them. She did not explain further about the misuse.

However, action taken on both items did not pass without dissent from board Vice President Joseph Ryan, who alleged the proposed items were illegal and had no involvement from Superintendent Sonya Whitaker.

“Do we have a situation here where this is legal?” Ryan asked.

Whitaker was not at Thursday’s meeting. Before the meeting, she said she learned Wednesday evening of the agenda item regarding district-issued credit cards and had no idea why it was recommended.

Ulmer told Ryan that Whitaker does not have to be at the special meeting, and she contacted a lawyer regarding the issue. After she and Ryan argued, she slammed the gavel and told him he was out of order repeatedly.

“This meeting is not going to be dominated by Joseph Ryan,” she said after they both argued about making points of order.

Ulmer said again she checked with the attorney but also added she was tired of being disrupted by Ryan.

“I will do nothing to get this board in jeopardy because I called the lawyer. … I called him twice to make sure that

“I will do nothing to get this board in jeopardy because I called the lawyer. … I called him twice to make sure that I was doing the right thing, and he said I was.”

Katie Ulmer

Fairmont School District 89 Board president

I was doing the right thing, and he said I was,” she said.

The motion to approve Myers’ appointment passed, 4-1. Ryan was the only dissenting vote. Board member Jeremy Burns was absent for the meeting.

The board next considered a motion to freeze all district-issued credit cards,

which also faced objection from Ryan.

Ulmer said there was misuse of the credit cards. However, Ryan said if the credits cards were frozen, the district staff would not be able to use them and it would create a “situation of limbo.”

Ryan asked the board how many credit cards there were and then answered there was three: one each for the superintendent, principal and secretary. Ulmer said she wanted the record to show Ryan said there’s only three cards when there are more.

Board member Joseph Dalpiaz said a mechanism to unfreeze the cards would be needed. Ulmer said that would be worked out.

“It was a misuse of credit cards, and that’s all I’m going to say until it’s further investigated. Now if you would call the roll, please. We need to freeze these cards,” she said.

The motion passed, 4-1, with Ryan voting against it.

Nichols gets 39 years for FRANKFORT Movie theater to occupy Crest Hill murder of wife former Dominick’s building The HERALD–NEWS

JOLIET – Jerry Nichols was sentenced Thursday to 39 years in prison for the 2013 murder of his wife.

Nichols, 64, was convicted in September after a trial over the incident, in which he hit his wife, Diane Nichols, with her car twice in their Crest Hill garage before stomping on her head while she was on the ground.

Will County Circuit Jerry Nichols Judge David Carlson issued the verdict.

The sentence ensures that Nichols “will die behind the walls of a state prison for this act of vicious brutality,” State’s Attorney James Glasgow said in a written statement.

“This heartless coward chose to end an 11-year marriage to an innocent woman who loved him by murdering her in cold blood,” Glasgow said.

A jury convicted Nichols in September.

At that time, his attorney, Michael Ettinger, asked Carlson to instruct the jury on the option of finding Nichols guilty of reckless homicide. Carlson declined.

Ettinger said Thursday that the case will be appealed based on the jury not getting an instruction on reckless homicide.

Nichols’ defense was that he accidentally hit his wife with the car. Then, the accident and his inability to help his wife triggered post-traumatic stress disorder that he suffered because of combat duty in Vietnam.

A news release from the state’s attorney’s office stated that Nichols stomped on his wife’s head “with such force that he fractured her jaw and skull and damaged the cartilage in her throat.”

Diane Nichols also suffered two broken legs, fractured ribs and a broken spinal column from being struck by the car, the release stated.

The HERALD–NEWS FRANKFORT – Plans are underway for a movie theater to come to Frankfort.

The village has received notification that the former Dominick’s building at 19965 S. LaGrange Road is under contract for purchase by an affiliate of Emagine Entertainment Inc., a luxury theater company based out of Troy, Michigan.

“Since the closing of Dominick’s, the village has worked diligently to secure a high quality business for this property. Emagine Entertainment provides that community fit for this prime location,” Mayor Jim Holland said in a village news release.

The village is working with the applicant on the appropriate plan commission hearings, permits and applications.

The video interview

In the taped interview, Peachey said he saw the shooter enter and leave. He noted what the shooter was wearing and his complexion.

Peachey stated that he walked in the restaurant with his ex-girlfriend, Terresha Peten, and sat down at a booth near the front. When he and Peten saw the shooter enter, she pointed out the shooter had a gun.

“I turned around to look at him ...

I heard shots fired,” Peachey said in

the video.

However, Peachey said Thursday he didn’t recall making any of those statements, and he didn’t see the shooter, he just heard several shots.

He testified he heard gunshots and hid under the table, and when he saw other people running, he grabbed his keys and left.

Defense attorney John Casey objected to the video being played, claiming it wasn’t substantive evidence as presented, but it had the same effect on the jury.

But Judge Daniel Rozak overruled the objection, siding with the prosecution, which argued Peachey’s statements about seeing the shooter made it substantive evidence.

Threats

During Landeros’ testimony Thursday, he denied Joliet police threatened Peachey.

When defense attorney John Casey

asked Landeros why he didn’t pursue a lead based on a nickname Peten gave him, Landeros, who didn’t document that he received the lead from Peten or tell other law enforcement officials about it, said he checked the nickname in police records, but it didn’t turn up anything.

He also said he didn’t pursue the nickname further because Peachey had identified Thompson in the photo lineup.

The prosecution also called Will County correctional officer John Visera to the stand, who said July 10, 2015, Thompson started getting upset before a court date.

“He started to yell about Peachey being a snitch,” Visera said, noting that other inmates could hear it.

After hearings ended for the day, Rozak excused a juror from the rest of the trial because the juror had a job obligation. One of four alternates will take the excused juror’s place.

JOLIET – A man who told police on camera that he saw the gunman in the 2013 Louis’ Family Restaurant shooting denied that statement Thursday, saying he was pressured by police to identify a shooter out of a photo lineup.

Arsenio Peachey, 26, of Joliet was called to the stand by Will County Assistant State’s Attorney Mike Fitzgerald during the trial of Christopher Thompson, Christopher who is charged with the Thompson Aug. 3, 2013, murder of Gerardo Franchini at the restaurant.

Fitzgerald questioned Peachey about the taped interview, in which Peachey tells Joliet detective Tizoc Landeros he saw the shooter come in the Joliet restaurant and run out after killing Franchini.

But Peachey repeatedly said he didn’t recall making the statements in the interview.

Part of the interview, which was shown to jurors during Landeros’ tes-

timony, shows that Peachey also identified Thompson out of a photo lineup before the recorded interview.

But Thursday, Peachey, who was on parole at the time of the shooting, said he was told by Joliet police he would go back to Stateville Correctional Center if he didn’t identify the shooter out of the lineup.

Peachey also said he didn’t recognize Thompson, even when Fitzgerald showed him the photo lineup on which Peachey initialed and circled Thompson’s photo.

When asked by Fitzgerald, Peachey denied being threatened in any way to alter his statement.

Joliet District 86 board Going on approves field trips, gifts

By FELIX SARVER

fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET — Hufford Individual Education School students plan to head to Washington, D.C., this spring.

The Joliet Public Schools District 86 Board of Inspectors approved at their Wednesday meeting the field trip costs for I.E. students at Hufford Junior High School to visit the nation’s capital April 16 through 18 to see several memorial, monument and museum sites.

The anticipated cost of the trip is about $1,300 per person and all funds will be handled between education travel provider Worldstrides and families, according to a letter to the board from Jenny Seddon, Hufford assistant principal.

Board inspectors also approved a March trip to DeKalb for student athletes to participate in the Illinois Elementary School Association wrestling tournament.

Other board matters

Board inspectors approved the acceptance of a 2014-15 audit prepared by Klein, Hall & Associates, as well as the acceptance of gifts.

Among the gifts is money for the

Mary Volk Memorial Fund to honor Volk, who was the second librarian in the history of Gompers Junior High School.

The money collected for the fund will be used for books for the school library.

Washington Junior High School also received a check for about $645 for the school’s Scholars program. The money was donated by Unity Community Development Corporation from proceeds raised at a Community Unity Jazz Brunch, according to a letter from Mike Latting, Washington principal.

Unity CDC is a nonprofit that was incorporated in 2007 to improve the quality of life for historically underserved residents of the fourth and fifth council districts of Joliet.

Grundy County GIS director designs application for road closures

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – The Grundy County Emergency Management Agency was tasked in December with getting information to the public after heavy rainfall caused flooding that closed several rural roads.

GIS Director Dave Ostrander was approached by Grundy County EMA Director Joe Schroeder to see if there was an easier way to share information to the public.

“Joe approached me and said his posts to Facebook about road closures had reached 32,000 views,” Ostrander said. “He thought there had to be a better way to get the information out there.”

Ostrander said he got to work on an application that would allow EMA workers and dispatchers to input closed roads that would get the information in map form out to the public as soon as it is entered.

The application is in beta testing to

see how well it works.

The application will allow those driving who find trouble areas to input a road closure. It also will allow dispatchers taking calls to input the information at a desktop computer.

Once the information is put into the application it will be pushed to a map that will be embedded on the county website, which can then be shared on social media and through traditional media outlets to let the community know which roads to avoid.

He said as crews get out and clean up areas, such as a downed tree, they can go into the application and show the road is open again.

Ostrander said another use of the application would be with the county highway department where County Engineer Craig Cassem would be able to put in scheduled road construction letting travelers know if a road will be closed.

He said after the group completes beta testing it will be refined before going on the website.

Joliet has incentive package for Crabigale’s building JOLIET – The city is offering more than $300,000 in potential incentives to a prospective developer of the cityowned building that last was used for the Crabigale’s comedy club.

The incentive package essentially would hand over the downtown building, priced at $300,000, to the developer once that much money has been put into building improvements.

The developer also would get a

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

The city is trying to put the empty building at Chicago and Cass streets back into use and back onto the tax rolls.

Economic Development Director Steve Jones said the developer’s plans also fit into the city’s Downtown Plan,

building and apartments on the second and third floors. A part of the second floor also may be used for a banquet facility.

The developer has not been identified while the city has been negotiating the redevelopment agreement. Terms of that agreement were presented this week to City Council committees.

The developer would need a special-use permit for the project because it mixes residential with commercial uses.

aimed at bringing more residents and entertainment options downtown.

“Clearly, the goal of our downtown plan is to create residential with commercial on the first floor of buildings,” Jones said.

Jones said the same incentive package was offered when The Lockdown, a restaurant in Chicago, was considering moving into the building.

The potential developer’s plan, according to city officials, is to put a restaurant on the first floor of the

“Some of the kids are competitive, and some play for the social aspect. It’s not about winning, it’s about the kids enjoying themselves while they play a sport.”

Colleen Harvey

Plainfield South Special Olympics athletic director

Brendan Ehling runs through a tunnel of Plainfield South and Plainfield East cheerleaders as he is introduced Wednesday for an intra-squad game between Special Olympics athletes from South and East in Joliet.

Plainfield Special Olympics athletes take to the court

By ALLISON SELK

Shaw Media correspondent PLAINFIELD – Plainfield South High School senior Dejara Patton sat with her teammates and prepared herself for her fourth and final “Pack the House” basketball game.

“I love being on a team. Basketball is my favorite because I get to be on a team, and my mom came to watch,” Patton said.

More than 300 spectators from the community and Plainfield School District 202 converged Wednesday night at Plainfield South for the ninth annual “Pack the House” Special Olympics intra-squad basketball game.

Plainfield East and South each have Special Olympics basketball teams, but play as a District 202 team against other teams in Lockport, Yorkville, Joliet and more. This event separates the District 202 team into a white team and a blue team to play against one another for a night of fun for players and parents.

“Some of the kids are competitive, and some play for the social aspect.

It’s not about winning, it’s about the kids enjoying themselves while they play a sport,” South Special Olympics Athletic Director Colleen Harvey said.

Each team was accompanied by two coaches: head coach Kristen Schmitt, a special education teacher at East, and assistant coach Katie Grinder, a special education teacher at Richard Ira Middle School, for the white team;

and Paul Thomason, a special education teacher at South, and assistant coach Will Harvey, a teacher’s assistant at South, for the blue team.

The buzzer signaled, and the game was underway. Cheerleaders and dance team members from both schools cheered on the sidelines as the players – some with one-on-one volunteers – took to the court. The players were focused and worked cohesively, often sharing the ball.

“I like basketball because the game is fast and competitive, but we all remember to use good sportsmanship,” East freshman Kaleena Derrick said.

The game was back and forth as both teams used strong defense and offense. Parents and crowd members cheered, and the players never gave up on themselves or their teammates.

Scott Ehling said the support from the teachers, volunteers and community means a lot to the parents. His son, Brendan, is a freshman at South.

“These kids get a sense of accomplishment, and their events should be treated like any other sporting event at the school. It means a lot to the kids, and I know it means a lot to the parents. I get choked up at events like this,” said Scott Ehling, who covers area sports as a freelancer for The Herald-News.

The special education teachers joined the players for the fourth quarter, and the game ended in a tie, as usual.

“The score always ends in a tie be-

cause both teams played hard, so ev-

erybody wins,” Grinder said.

• HEROIN

Continued from page 3 first responders, law enforcement officials and hospitals that carry naloxone, or Narcan, a drug that can reverse the effects of an overdose by restoring the victim’s breathing.

Law enforcement agencies in Will County were trained to carry the drug this past year. At least three saves were recorded in 2015 by the Joliet Police Department.

“One of the things that coroners and medical examiners do is we report when we see trends, we report on those trends,” O’Neil said. “The theory is what we learn from the deceased can help those that are still alive. That’s why I think we’re seeing Narcan in the squad cars.”

What will it take?

Peter McLenighan, executive director at Stepping Stones in Joliet, said implementation of the Heroin Crisis Act – approved last year by state lawmakers – will be key in addressing the epidemic.

It calls for increased access to naloxone and mandates health care coverage for medication-assisted treatment and

other forms of treatment. The act also calls for a prescription drug monitoring program and better monitoring of overdoses reported by hospitals.

Until then, the months-long state budget impasse is putting unprecedented pressure on treatment centers such as Stepping Stones to stay open in spite of the lack of state payments, he said.

“We stuck our neck out trusting that the governor and the General Assembly would resolve the budget impasse and we would be made whole. But we are increasingly troubled by the lack of progress,” McLenighan said.

Will County has no plans of slowing down its outreach efforts, Walsh Sr. said, adding that education and prevention is key. Through partnership with the Robert Crown Center for Health Education, heroin education programs are scheduled to take place this year within Plainfield School District 202.

Heroin is no longer an inner city problem, Walsh Sr. said.

“Who would think Braidwood, Illinois? Who would think Wilmington, Illinois? And that’s the problem. People don’t see you don’t have to be in the city of Chicago, the city of Rockford,” Walsh Sr. said. “This is an epidemic throughout the country.”

No suspects a week after 6 found dead

By MICHAEL TARM The Associated Press

CHICAGO – Authorities have no suspects and a motive remains elusive one week after six family members were found dead in their Chicago home, police said Thursday, with investigators now focusing on video evidence, the weapons used and interviews with relatives and acquaintances to try to glean clues about why the family was targeted.

The wounds indicate that three knives or knife-like weapons were used to kill five of the victims, including two children; one woman was shot, police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said.

Investigators are interviewing a wide range of people, from the kids’ dad and their teachers to the adults’ co-workers, he said, “looking for what could have been the catalyst for this.”

“This was not random,” he said.

“There’s something centered on that family.”

The father of Leonardo Cruz, 13, and Alexis Cruz, 10, arrived in Chicago from his home in Morelos, Mexico, on Wednesday to attend Sunday funeral

News from across the state Residents weigh in on proposed mine expansion

HILLSBORO – Some central Illinois residents are asking state regulators to reject a proposed expansion of a coal mine where an underground fire has smoldered for nearly a year.

Opponents of Foresight Energy’s planned Deer Run Mine expansion testified at a Thursday public hearing in Hillsboro that the company’s inability to quell the ongoing fire should lead the Illinois Department of Natural Resources to reject the request.

Foresight ceased mine production in early January in part because of the elevated carbon monoxide levels below ground. The company has applied for a 7,731-acre expansion into areas unaffected by the fire.

Deer Run operates as a longwall mine under a process that allows for greater

Lawmakers urge agency to build campus in Illinois

MASCOUTAH – Members of Illinois’ congressional delegation are appealing to the head of the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency in support of Scott Air Force Base’s bid to host its new facility.

This week, U.S. Sens. Dick Durbin and Mark Kirk and other Illinois congressmen wrote a letter to NGA Director Robert Cardillo, urging him to select a 182-acre site in St. Clair County as the location of the agency’s new $1.6 billion campus.

The two-page letter was meant to show there’s “unified support for the proposal from the bipartisan group representing communities across Illinois,” according to a news release issued Wednesday by Durbin’s office.

On Wednesday morning, Cardillo visited in Washington, D.C., with U.S. Rep. Mike Bost, U.S. Rep. John Shimkus and representatives from the offices of Gov. Bruce Rauner and U.S. Rep. Rodney Davis, the Belleville News-Democrat reported.

Man wins lawsuit alleging Chicago police rigged lineup

CHICAGO – A Chicago man won a $1 million verdict this week in a lawsuit that accused police of rigging a photo lineup to ensure he would be wrongly identified as an armed robbery suspect.

Jermaine Durdin was 18 when he was charged in the 2010 robbery of several hundred dollars from an ice cream truck in the Lawndale neighborhood on the city’s West Side. He spent nearly two years awaiting trial in the Cook County Jail before he was found not guilty – an experience he said in court this week deeply affected him and left a “stain” on his brain.

His story added to the cases of alleged police misconduct against black residents that are roiling the city and the Chicago Police Department, which is under a federal civil rights investigation.

Investigators are looking for any suspicious activity in the area in the hours and days before the killings in video footage downloaded from surveillance cameras on city buses that pass by, and from other homes’ security systems, said Guglielmi.

Investigators met with Mexican authorities at the Chicago consulate this week, he said, and requested assistance as they seek to speak with other extended family members in Mexico.

Miranda told The Associated Press that Mexicans have followed news of the killings closely and that the consulate has taken a special interest in the case.

The father, Manuel Armando Cruz, was granted a U.S. humanitarian visa to fly to Chicago.

Both governments are helping with paperwork to send all six bodies to Mexico, Miranda said. Three adults will be buried in Guanajuato. The mother is from Guanajuato, but will be buried with her children in Morelos.

Said Miranda: “The family decided to keep the kids and the mother together.”

Jury sides with Illinois man in excessive force lawsuit

BENTON – Jurors in southern Illinois have found in a federal civil lawsuit that an Olney man was the victim of excessive force when law enforcement officers stopped him near Benton in April 2012.

The jury verdict comes after a four-day trial at the federal courthouse in East St. Louis. It includes more than $32,000 in compensatory and punitive damages for 35-year-old Isaac Capps, who initially sought a $3.6 million settlement, the Southern Illinoisan reported.

Named as defendants in the case are three Illinois State Police troopers, two Franklin County deputies and a West Frankfort police officer.

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS Diplomats seek temporary over the government’s control of vast expanses of Western land.

Syria truce in a week

MUNICH – Diplomats trying to secure a ceasefire for the civil war in Syria fell short early Friday in organizing a truce but agreed to try to work out details and implement a temporary “cessation of hostilities” in a week’s time. The deal appeared to be the result of a compromise between the U.S., which had wanted an immediate ceasefire, and Russia, which had proposed one to start on March 1.

Although foreign ministers from the International Syria Support Group managed to seal an agreement to “accelerate and expand” deliveries of humanitarian aid to besieged Syrian communities beginning this week, their failure to agree on a ceasefire leaves the most critical step to resuming peace talks unresolved. It was not clear from their comments afterward if deep differences regarding the truce and which groups would be eligible for it could be overcome.

Federal authorities in six states also arrested seven other people accused of being involved in the occupation and brought charges against a leader of the movement who organized a 2014 standoff.

Two more suspects remained at large.

The last occupiers at the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge gave up without incident a day after federal agents surrounded the site.

Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders (left) argues a point as Hillary Clinton listens Thursday during a Democratic presidential primary debate at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.

Clinton, Sanders clash over minorities, Obama The ASSOCIATED PRESS MILWAUKEE – Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders battled for the crucial backing of black and Hispanic voters in Thursday night’s Democratic debate and clashed heatedly over their support for President Barack Obama as the presidential race shifted toward states with more minority voters.

Clinton, who has cast herself as the rightful heir to Obama’s legacy, accused Sanders of diminishing the president’s record and short-changing his leadership.

“The kind of criticism I hear from Sen. Sanders, I expect from Republicans. I do not expect it from someone seeking the Democratic nomination,” Clinton said in a sharp exchange at the close of the two-hour debate in Milwaukee. Her biting comments followed an interview in which Sanders suggested Obama hadn’t succeeded in closing the gap between Congress and the American people – something Obama himself has acknowledged.

Sanders responded sharply: “Madam Secretary, that is a low blow.” And he noted that Clinton was the only one on the stage who ran against Obama in the 2008 presidential race.

After splitting this year’s first two states with Sanders, Clinton also renewed her assertion that her unexpectedly strong rival was energizing voters with promises “that cannot be kept.”

Seeking to boost his own support with mi-

norities, Sanders peppered his typically economic-focused rhetoric with calls to reform a “broken criminal justice system.”

“At the end of my first term, we will not have more people in jail than any other country,” he said.

In one of many moments of agreement between the candidates, Clinton concurred on a need to address a criminal justice system that incarcerates a disproportionate number of minorities. But she cast her proposals for fighting racial inequality as broader than his.

“We’re going to emphasize education, jobs and housing,” said Clinton, who was endorsed earlier in the day by the political action committee of the Congressional Black Caucus.

Long viewed as the overwhelming front-runner in the Democratic race, Clinton has been caught off guard by Sanders’ strength, particularly his visceral connection with Americans frustrated by the current political and economic systems. Clinton’s own campaign message has looked muddled compared to his ringing call for a “political revolution,” and her connections to Wall Street have given Sanders an easy way to link her to the systems his supporters want to overhaul.

Seeking to stem Sanders’ momentum, Clinton’s campaign has argued that his appeal is limited to the white, liberal voters who make up the Democratic electorate in Iowa and New Hampshire.

ANOTHER VIEW

Outsiders win big in New Hampshire; Trump back up A Republican presidential race that has lurched to and fro lurched yet again Tuesday night in New Hampshire, as the slow sorting continued behind prototypical outsider and resurrected Donald Trump.

On the Democratic side, fellow non-establishmentarian Bernie Sanders validated polls that showed him comfortably ahead of Hillary Clinton. Coupled with their virtual tie in Iowa, that tees up Nevada and South Carolina, with Clinton needing to hold serve against an emboldened Sanders in states considered more favorable to her message.

Trump, off an unexpected loss in Iowa’s GOP caucus, regained some of his swagger by effectively lapping the field in New Hampshire.

Texas Sen. Ted Cruz contended with a less-favorable demographic but managed to lodge himself in the pack far behind Trump.

Trump showed strength among independents and voters who rated the economy and terrorism as top issues. New Hampshire might not have been a must-win for the self-funded Trump, but a second defeat would have raised serious questions.

Below Trump, the “establishment lane” contenders – Marco Rubio, Jeb Bush, John Kasich and Chris Christie – battled for plausibility, perhaps outright survival.

Rubio’s bump from a solid third in Iowa dissipated before the first New Hampshire vote was cast after a struggling debate effort. Kasich surged into second, and Bush nosed ahead, as well. The irony was that Christie’s debate elbows did much to bring Rubio down, but the New Jersey governor benefited least and dropped out of the race Wednesday.

All campaigns aren’t created equal, of course, and differences in funding and organization will become more apparent going forward.

Kasich, for instance, focused almost all of his energies on New Hampshire. But he appears to lack the ground game for South Carolina and Nevada, not to mention the delegate-rich “SEC primary” states March 1, with Texas the big prize.

Clinton’s campaign, once considered unbeatable in the Democratic race, still may be.

She’s leading Sanders in polling among pivotal African-American and Hispanic voters who will be more plentiful now that the campaigns have passed Iowa and New Hampshire.

The GOP side, meanwhile, is sorting itself out, but is taking its time to get there.

AMENDMENT

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Long-term plan commission needed in Will County

To the Editor: What Will County needs is an independent, long-range planning commission to study the expected needs of the county when it is fully built out, perhaps double in population.

We all know what the judges feel – they want a new courthouse now, with perhaps 33 percent more courtrooms, which may last a few decades. However, will the current county building be enough? Should departments be scattered all over the county and city, or merged into one location with the courthouse in a new civic

building by the train station and transportation center?

Look at Chicago, where the City Hall and county share the same building and the criminal courts are at the jail. Can efficiencies be gained by consolidating into a new, modern, centrally located building?

Then there are the highways, roads, bridges and expressway interchanges that need to be developed as the population expands.

Joliet needs better vicious-dog ordinance To the Editor:

I think Joliet should have a vicious-dog ordinance that has some bite to it. I’m talking about a $500 fine if your pet attacks a person or animal.

Also, there should be no walking of dogs by those younger than 18. I’ve seen too many young kids walking pit bulls; really, how is a kid going to control a 100-pound vicious dog?

Also, large dogs should be required to wear a muzzle.

Let’s pass a city ordinance before someone is killed; it’s happened in other communities, and I hope it doesn’t happen here.

Girls bowling sectional loaded with local talent STAFF, SUBMITTED REPORTS

JOLIET – Town & Country Lanes will be hopping Saturday as Joliet West hosts the local girls sectional bowling tournament.

Twelve teams qualified for the sectional from three regionals last week that were hosted by Sandburg, Rich East and Bremen. Ten individuals not on advancing teams also qualified.

The top four teams in the sectional will earn berths in next weekend’s state meet, as will the top five individuals not on advancing teams.

Lockport senior Nikki Mendez and the defending state champion Porters are coming off claiming the Sandburg Regional title. Mendez rolled a 1,376 six-game series, and Lockport totaled 6,281.

Plainfield Central finished third at

5,731 and Romeoville fourth at 5,594.

Advancing individuals included Plainfield South’s Cassie Bucaro and Paige Kwiatkowski; Plainfield North’s Kelsey Hobbs and Nadine Krasauskis; Lemont’s Breanna Malak; and Plainfield East’s Kristin Ruzicka, Skylar Walsh and Kayla Dench.

Minooka won the tightly bunched Rich East Sectional with a 5,705 score.

“I was definitely nervous for those free throws,” Curran said. “We went into this game with some confidence.

We’ve been working hard, and we wanted to end the season with a bang. We’re definitely excited for regionals, and winning a regional was a big goal of ours. Everybody’s healthy, so we’re ready. I like our team’s enthusiasm and how we’re all friends.”

Central grabbed a 16-11 lead after one quarter, but West responded by going up, 21-19, late in the second period before the visitors forced a tie at 21 shortly before the break.

The Knights closed out the third quarter with a 7-0 run to take a 30-25 lead into the final eight minutes. But West used an 8-1 spurt to move back in front before Central got the two buckets from Gorman and the late free throws from Curran to claim the win.

“It felt really good to come out here with a full effort,” Gorman said. “We’re ready for the regional and are so pumped for it, so winning this game was motivating. We work hard in the gym every day, and this is the payoff.

This was their last game at home, so beating them felt even better. Our team is so positive and outgoing, and it’s a fun group. I’ve never been on a team that works hard every single day at practice. It’s amazing, and I love it.”

The Knights also got seven points from Colleen Barrett, while the Warriors also received 15 points from Courtney O’Donnell and five points from Kaitlyn Mathews.

West will meet either Morris or Providence on Wednesday in a Class 3A Providence Regional semifinal.

If it wins that game, it likely will meet Joliet Catholic in next Friday’s finals.

“Central deserved to win, no doubt,” Warriors coach Ryan White said. “They outplayed us and wanted it more.

We haven’t looked the same in the last few games. Unfortunately, this game kind of stops us dead in our tracks as far as having any momentum going forward. We have five days before our next game, which is a long time. We hope that this is kind of a wake-up call. Our energy level and sense of urgency just doesn’t seem to be there now.”

PREP WRESTLING IHSA SECTIONALS PREVIEW

Seventy-three area wrestlers from 12 schools head to Bolingbrook today as they attempt to continue their quest for a trip to next weekend’s IHSA finals in Champaign.

The action kicks off at 4:30 p.m. and continues Saturday at 9 a.m. and again at 2 p.m. with the ultimate goal of the competitors being one of the topfour finishes at each weight class.

Lockport leads local squads with 11 sectional qualifiers, while Plainfield South and Providence have eight apiece, Bolingbrook and Minooka have seven each, Joliet West and Lincoln-Way East each are sending six individuals to the sectional, and Lincoln-Way Central and Plainfield North have five qualifiers apiece.

Three area competitors will be trying to earn their fourth-straight Class 3A state trips. That group includes Joliet West’s Darvell Flagg (113 pounds), Lockport’s Shayne Oster (145) and Minooka’s Carson Oughton (170). Oster captured championships in the event the past two years, while Oughton won sectional titles in 2013 and 2015.

Oster is a returning state champion and a two-time placewinner, Oughton won state medals in 2013 and 2015, and Flagg also placed at state a year ago.

Pursuing their third-straight Class 3A state appearance are Lincoln-Way Central’s Vinnie Piunti (126) and Bryan Ditchman (285), Plainfield East’s Michael McGee (120) and Zach Krause (138), Lockport’s Trevell Timmons (152) and Plainfield South’s Eric Johnson (220). Piunti captured a sectional title in 2014 while Johnson, Krause and McGee all were sectional champs last season.

McGee won a state title last season, Ditchman has won medals the last two years, Johnson was the state runner-up last season, and Timmons also picked up a medal a year ago.

Hoping for a second-straight Class 3A state trip are Lincoln-Way East’s Jason Stokes (126) and Brian Burns (182), Plainfield North’s Marcus Povlick (106) and Luke Smiley (145), Lincoln-Way Central’s Jake Dudeck (220), Lockport’s Abdullah Assaf (120), Plainfield Central’s Jared Ellingwood (145) and Plainfield South’s Danny Saracco (195), while Lincoln-Way East’s Jake DiBenedetto (132) also qualified for state in 2014. Assaf and Smiley also won sectional titles last season, and Assaf picked up a state medal a year ago.

The final session of that tournament is scheduled for 1 p.m. Saturday.

Kyle Ruettiger (145) is seeking his fourth-straight state trip in Class 2A, while Tom Buell (120) and Amier Khamis (138) are looking for their third state trips. Joey Schloegel (132) and Trevor Schmidt (182) joined those other Warriors last year in Champaign. The only sectional qualifier from West who has won a sectional title is Ruettiger, who pulled off the feat in 2013. Ruettiger won state medals in 2013 and 2014, while Buell was a

placewinner last year.

Lemont advanced seven individuals to its own Class 2A sectional, which has its final session at 4 p.m.

Saturday. Egan Berta (145) and Jake Kirkman (152) are seeking their thirdstraight state trip, while John Polk (170) hopes to make a repeat appearance. Berta is the lone Indian qualifier who has won a sectional, capturing one in 2014.

The second-largest group of sectional qualifiers from the area belong to Coal City, which advanced 12 individuals to the Class 1A Plano Sectional, which is scheduled to begin

its final session at 3 p.m. Saturday.

Wilmington has 10 qualifiers, while Peotone has seven.

Seeking their third-straight Class 1A state trips are Coal City’s Joey Rivera (113) and Riley Kauzlaric (195), Peotone’s Chase Emerson (120) and Wilmington’s Nick Hawkins (170).

Making their first state appearances last year were Wilmington’s Jake Berman (138) and Nick Pretto (152) and Peotone’s Chandler Gartner (160).

Reed-Custer’s Jon Costain (170) advanced to state in 2014. Rivera is a two-time sectional champion, while Hawkins and Kauzlaric both won titles last year.

Rivera won a state championship a year ago, Kauzlaric earned a medal last season, and Hawkins is a placewinner the last two years.

Seneca also has seven qualifiers, and that group will compete in the Class 1A Princeton Sectional, which is scheduled to start its last session at 2:30 p.m. Saturday. None of the Irish qualifiers have advanced to state before.

Four individuals bring 40 or more victories into the sectional, and four wrestlers own winning percentages of 97 percent or better heading into the weekend. Rivera has 42 wins; Johnson has collected 41 victories; and Plainfield South’s Marc Fleenor (132) and Lockport’s Ronald Tucker (285) both have 40 wins. Johnson owns a 1.000 win percentage, while Rivera is at .977, Povlick has a .973 percentage, and Krause owns a .972 mark.

Lincoln-Way East’s Sam Shafer goes up for a shot as he is fouled by Joliet West’s Teyvion Kirk during the first half Tuesday. The Griffins upset the Tigers, 63-59. West will host Homewood-Flossmoor on Friday night, while East visits Joliet Central.

Bench depth is a plus in basketball – unless it’s not

The University of St. Francis men’s basketball team had just finished off Purdue Calumet, 76-65, on Wednesday night at the Sullivan Center in Joliet.

A check of the final box score confirmed that Ilya Ilyayev, Jens Kennedy and Landus Anderson enjoyed good games from a statistical standpoint.

If you looked a little further, however, you saw USF coach Ryan Marks used 10 players, all of whom logged between 12 and 29 minutes in the 40-minute game. That certainly is not unusual. Marks has used the same sort of substitution pattern all season.

When you have quality depth and you have players who understand their roles and are willing to remain within those roles, the team succeeds. The Saints (24-2), who are ranked No. 2 in NAIA Division II, have won 10 straight games for a second time this season. Ilyayev and Kennedy have had much to do with that, but so do the third through 12th guys, if we dare label them that way.

“One of the agonizing things for me is guys like Ryan Peter and Brian Edwards did not play tonight,” Marks said of two of his valued reserves.

You might say there is too much

VIEWS Dick Goss depth, but Marks says Edwards, Peter and the rest are willing to do whatever it takes to fit into and contribute in the Saints’ system. Thus, the 24-2 record.

Meanwhile, the high school season in the Joliet area has been a wild ride, with so many results having you wondering, “How did that happen?”

One thing to notice is some teams that have suffered with inconsistencies do have what appears to be a deep bench. Issues have come not only from inconsistent play from starters, but also from reserves.

In that circumstance, a coach can have difficulty deciding which substitute to use in a certain situation on a given night. One night Player A delivers, and another night it’s Player B or Player C. Some coaches, especially some from a previous era, will tell you that if you feel the need to go any deeper than six or perhaps seven players, you likely have problems.

The starters should get a majority

See GOSS, page 27

• GOSS

Continued from page 26 of the minutes, with the sixth man and perhaps the seventh getting quality minutes when needed.

A good example of making that strategy work this season is Joliet Catholic under coach Joe Gura. The Hilltoppers are 17-4 with Donavan Finch an ideal sixth man and reserve guard Jack Surin providing a few solid minutes here and there.

Other coaches, many in modern times, prefer having a deeper bench.

They feel all their reserves have something to offer, at least potentially.

Neither system is right or wrong, of course. One works for some at certain times, the other works for others at certain times.

It is interesting, however, that depth is a word normally said in a positive light. When depth works the way it has for Marks at St. Francis, it is a difference maker.

If a coach wants to go 10 deep or so, however, and if everyone is not buying into his role and providing something positive each night, the results can be mixed at best.

It was just short of five years ago that I found myself embroiled in a bit of controversy not entirely of my own making.

As the publisher and editor of Pro Football Weekly, I was the ultimate arbiter of what we published, and over the years what we are best known for is creating independent draft analysis and being the leader in the field.

Over a stretch of 35 years from 1978 to 2013, I employed just two head scouts.

Our first, Joel Buchsbaum, is a legend around the NFL who, unfortunately, died far too young in 2002 after 24 years at PFW. There will never be another Joel – but his successor, Nolan Nawrocki, was the next best thing.

Nolan is so good that he’s an editor’s dream and worst nightmare rolled into one.

In mid-February 2011, my editor-in-chief, Keith Schleiden, came to me with Nolan’s now-infamous scouting report on that year’s likely No. 1 overall pick, Cam Newton, and said what do you think?

Here is the portion of the scouting report on Newton that set people’s hair on fire.

Partying for a purpose

Annual tasting and auction event benefits Center for Disability Services

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

JOLIET – It makes him feel good.

That, plain and simple, is why Fred Ferrara still is coordinating the Great Chefs Tasting Party and Auction, to be held Feb. 28 this year. He began 21 years ago for the Center for Disability Services, formerly known as UCP of Illinois Prairieland.

The Joliet Junior College chef doesn’t mind the hours it takes encouraging other chefs to participate – the event has about 10 stations so far – or overseeing two stations himself: the JJC Epicurean Club, and students from the Vocational Skills Food Service Partnership program at JJC. And that’s in addition to literally being part of the auctions, as a “chef in the home dinner party” who joins the other items in the bidding war.

“I come with some of my students, and we do a sit-down dinner or an hors d’oeuvres and beer pairing dinner with them,” Ferrara said.

Instead, Ferrara points to the successes: the center’s former clients who attend the event as volunteers, and graduates from JJC’s culinary arts program who work stations because it makes them feel good.

As much as Ferrara loves teaching, he said the Great Chefs Tasting Party and Auction is “the fun part of my job.”

But this year, Jennifer Gabrenya, president and CEO for the Center for Disability Services, hopes the tasting party raises serious money, because proceeds from the fundraiser have declined in the past few years.

In 2010, that amount was $100,000, according to Gabrenya, but it has dipped, with the 2015 event only bringing in $53,000. A good number for 2016, Gabrenya said, is $80,000.

Gabrenya said the Center for Disability Services is funded through Medicaid waiver funding, and that funding has not increased in 10 years, so the organization relies on fundraisers. The Great Chefs Tasting Party and Auction is the biggest, she added.

In addition to a “Viva Las Vegas” theme to enhance the party atmosphere, guests will sample bits of phenomenal food they won’t find elsewhere.

“They’re created just for our

Ferrara said that when he was teaching in Florida before he came to JJC, a chapter of the American Culinary Federation held a similar event as a fundraiser for United Cerebral Palsy, in which Ferrara participated.

When he came to Joliet, Ferrara said he approached UCP and offered to coordinate a similar event, as a way to bring chefs together, whether or not they belonged to the American

Ferrara said the first event attracted about 12 stations and 160 people.

The tasting party continued to grow – up to 500 guests some years, Ferrara said.

“People like to take part in things that support worthy causes,” Ferrara said. “And I think the grazing is more of a social atmosphere, where they can mingle and talk with people as they move through the lines.”

“They have been coming and helping me since they were in grade school,” Ferrara said of his daughters.

JOLIET – An interactive workshop for students fifth grade through high school will be presented from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. Feb. 29 at the Billie Limacher Bicentennial Park Theatre, 201 W. Jefferson St. in Joliet.

Singer/songwriter Bill Brickey, formerly of Joliet and a graduate of Joliet West High School, will lead the group in singing songs of the civil rights movement, as well as songs from modern pop music.

Students will learn how the need of civil rights Freedom Fighters to communicate ideas that were clearly stated, concise, memorable and motivational resulted in the reshaping of field hollers, blues and African-American gospel music into the genres that we now call R&B, pop and rap/hip-hop.

Participants will analyze and compare these styles, which were created by combining catchy rhythms, rhyming phrases and simple melodic cadences.

Cost is $5 a participant. Reserve by calling the Billie Limacher Bicentennial Park (815-724-3760) or St. Joseph Academy (815-723-4567). The deadline is Feb. 19.

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips school breaks and summer vacation she will have the midweek time to bond with your children that she’s craving.

Dear Abby: My employer hosted a professional development workshop on workplace etiquette and conduct related to gender and personal identity. The facilitator told us to make sure we always use the gender pronoun preferred by the person we are talking to or about. But she didn’t give any guidance about how to know what those pronouns are if it’s not clear from someone’s outward appearance. Additionally, I have learned I’m not very good at guessing.

Is there a polite way to ask someone if they prefer to be called he or she? What about people who don’t use either? It seems as if there’s a lot of opportunity to offend someone. I’d hate to upset anyone by using the wrong pronoun, but I also don’t want to admit to the person I can’t tell if he or she is a man or woman.

It’s like walking in a minefield. – What’s Right?

Dear What’s Right: This is such new territory, it might take a while for the general public to adjust.

However, the person’s name should be a clue about which gender he or she identifies with. While I wouldn’t recommend asking what gender the person is, it wouldn’t be inappropriate to use the word “they” when speaking about the person because that pronoun is being used more in the singular.

Soup to Nutz

Dear Abby: I am a divorced father who recently has remarried. I have parenting time with my children one weeknight and every other weekend.

My children have told me during the week they prefer doing their homework at their mother’s home. They say by the time I pick them up, prepare dinner and they start their homework, it’s already time to return to their mother’s. They are at ages where homework assignments can take several hours.

My ex is OK with me spending time with them at her home. She uses the time to run errands and do other things she might not have time for during the week. When there’s no school, I bring the kids to our house. All weekend parenting time takes place at my home.

The problem is, my current wife can’t stand that I spend time with my children at my ex’s home. She doesn’t understand why I won’t bring them here. I feel there’s ample opportunity on the weekends for my kids to be at our house and for her to build a relationship with them.

Academics are crucial at this point in their lives.

So – do I disrupt their homework to accommodate my wife? Or should I continue the arrangement my kids, my former wife and I have established? – Parent-

Social phobia can be overcome Dear Dr. K: I’ve always thought of myself as shy. But my partner thinks I might have social phobia. Could he be right?

Dear Reader: “Social phobia” goes well beyond shyness. People with social phobia feel a constant and powerful discomfort, self-consciousness and fear of humiliation in ordinary social situations. They feel as though all eyes are turned on them. Social phobia often leads people to avoid parties and other gatherings.

Most people don’t think twice about mingling with new acquaintances. But people with social phobia can have disturbing symptoms.

They may blush, sweat, tremble, feel nauseated and have difficulty talking. Being part of a social gathering may trigger a panic attack.

During panic attacks, people have shortness of breath, sweating, rapid heartbeat, chest pain or a smothering sensation.

If you think you might have social phobia, answer the following questions. If you answer yes to three or more, you might have social phobia. If so, talk to your doctor about your concerns.

• Do you avoid certain situations because you are afraid you’ll embarrass yourself?

• Do you sometimes panic in unfamiliar social situations?

• Do you avoid social situations whenever possible?

• When you can’t avoid social situations, do they cause significant distress or anxiety?

• Does your distress or fear of social gatherings interfere significantly with your work? Relationships with friends and family?

Normal routines?

If you do have social phobia, a doctor probably will recommend medication plus therapy.

Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), a type of antidepressant, usually are tried first. They often are prescribed with a

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff benzodiazepine (medications used to treat anxiety).

These medicines usually are combined with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). Two forms of CBT are especially beneficial: anxiety management training and cognitive restructuring.

Anxiety management teaches relaxation techniques, such as deep breathing, to help control anxiety. Cognitive restructuring teaches people how to recognize the thought processes that lead to the phobia. It then teaches how to reframe those thoughts and replace them with more productive thinking. Group CBT and social skills training also can help build confidence in social situations.

I once had a patient with an unusual kind of social phobia. A quiet and studious person, by day he was an accountant. That was how he made a living. But he also was musically gifted and had a good voice. Sometimes in the evenings, he would play guitar and sing folk music at local clubs. Immediately after each performance, he always dashed out of the club – before people in the audience could find him. That was because he developed severe anxiety symptoms when mingling with other people. When he could perform from a stage and didn’t have to mingle with the audience, he was fine – so long as they liked his performance. And they always did.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – A disciplined approach to getting what you want will far exceed attempts to bully someone into doing things your way. If you avoid arguments, you’ll have no regrets.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – How you present yourself and what you have to offer will make a difference. If you are responsible and help those in need, you will be compensated. Make romance a priority.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Protect your heart and control your emotions. Making assumptions will lead to mistakes. Take time to assess and formulate what you want, and do your best to make it happen.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – If you think about possibilities, you will have an eye-opening experience. The chance to make a dream come true and share it with someone special is within reach.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Don’t let uncertainty confuse you. Think matters through and determine the changes that will bring the highest returns, and start heading in that direction. Opportunity is everywhere.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – You may not like what someone else is doing, but that shouldn’t stop you from heading in the direction that suits you best. Let your desire for love lead the way.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Take on some responsibility if you want to prove you can make a difference. A chance to show off your skills will result in positive recognition and a reputation for getting things done.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Take the initiative to let an important someone know how much you care. Offering some incentive to others will ensure that you get the help you need to put your plans in motion.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Don’t let the actions or words of others get to you. An intelligent approach to the things you want to do or see happen will give you the strength and courage to proceed.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Do everything in your power to achieve your goals. A physical challenge will allow you to step up and show everyone what you are capable of handling. Romance is encouraged.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – You’ve got to rethink your strategy if you don’t want someone to criticize your choices. Too much of anything will lead to trouble. Move forward with compassion and control.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Your ability to take advantage of whatever situation you face will give you a competitive edge.

Romance will bring you stability and enhance your personal life.

SATURDAY HOROSCOPE

By EUGENIA LAST

Newspaper Enterprise Association TODAY – Keep your emotions in check this year.

Use common sense in order to avoid losing sight of what’s important to you. Much can be accomplished if you are progressive and determined to live up to your promises. Getting things done should be your goal.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Problems with loved ones will surface if you are pushy or reluctant to compromise. Tempers will flare quickly, and maintaining equilibrium will be necessary to avoid a dispute.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Show how much you care. Lend a helping hand, but be honest

about what you can and cannot do. Love is the best gift you can offer.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Your actions will set the stage for what’s to come. Check out professional opportunities or courses that will allow you to change your vocation. Make decisions and follow through on them.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Let the people around you know what you want and need. What you receive will touch your heart. The source of certain help will surprise you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Don’t share personal or financial information. You are best off listening and observing until you have a better understanding of what’s coming down the pipeline.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Share your point of

view and let people know where they stand. You will influence a loved one if you speak from the heart. Focus on causes you believe in.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Protect yourself against criticism and don’t let someone rain on your parade. Recognize your skills and use them to bring about positive change. Make your actions a statement.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Love is on the rise and romance will bring a favorable turn of events. Your intuition will help you make the right decision and will lead to a series of opportunities.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Breathe in every ounce of information and experience you can gather. What you observe will allow you to size

up your situation and make the right move.

Don’t give in to pressure.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Emotions will skyrocket, making it vital that you put your energy to good use. Make plans to surprise a loved one or start a creative project that sparks your imagination.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Make a decision that will bring about the changes required to prevent stagnation. Take the initiative to do what’s right. Change is necessary.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Your confidence will precede you. Deals will be presented to you, and you’ll get a chance to make improvements to your home or life that will promote a higher standard of living.

Harry Vardon, the groundbreaking English golfer, said, “More matches are lost through carelessness at the beginning than any other cause.”

If you are about to compete in a bridge tournament or for money, it would be a good idea for you and your partner to practice on a couple of deals just before start time.

It is easy for declarer to be careless near the beginning of this deal.

How should South play in three notrump after West leads a fourth-highest club six to the 10 and jack?

North’s three-club rebid was New Minor Forcing. He was hoping his partner could show three-card heart support. However, when South indicated only a doubleton heart, North signed off in three no-trump.

South starts with eight top tricks: three spades, one heart, three diamonds and one club (at trick one). He can get the extra winner from either red suit -- but which should he attack first?

Most players would realize that taking the heart finesse is too dangerous. If it loses, East will return a club through South’s king and into the jaws of West’s ace-queen. Here, West would take four tricks in that suit to defeat the contract.

Instead, many declarers would play a diamond to dummy’s ace and return a diamond to their king -- and suddenly find that they could no longer make the contract. East would gain the lead in one red suit or the other.

South should take a safety-finesse, covering dummy’s diamond nine with his 10. Here, declarer would end with an overtrick. But even if West could take the trick, the contract would be safe.

The boundary line is proposed to remain the same as was approved by the municipalities in 1995, with one exception. The one exception deals with the “Buck Property” which is proposed to be located on the City of Lockport side of the boundary line subject to certain conditions set forth in the proposed extension of the Boundary Agreement.

Pursuant to the Illinois Municipal Code (65 ILCS 5/11-12-9), the City Council of the City of Lockport will conduct a public hearing on the proposed extension of the Boundary Agreement at its City Council meeting on March 16, 2016, at 7:00 p.m., in the City Council Chambers on the third floor of the Central Square Building located at 222 East 9th Street, Lockport, Illinois, 60441.
