It’s amazing, the inspiration you can find in young athletes.

I saw it Feb. 7 at the Inwood Hockey Rink, when the PeeWee team of the Jaguar Hockey Club showed class beyond their years as they welcomed a second-grade boy from Gardner to the game.

Parker Farrero loves hockey. He has Battens, a neurological disease. It has left him nearly blind, and he has begun experiencing personality changes common with the illness that make it difficult to handle many situations.

But last weekend, he was at Inwood, serving as honorary coach and captain that day in the match against the Rockford Hockey Club.

It was amazing to see the entire arena cheer on Parker.

But it was more heartwarming to see the way players on both teams included Parker: When a goal was scored, for instance, they would skate up to wherever he was and tap their sticks on the glass so he could share in the success of a goal. When

VIEWS Kate Schott he came out to do the ceremonial puck drop, players on both teams hit their sticks on the ice in a show of support.

Jaguar players wrapped their sticks in red tape, Parker’s favorite color, and had helmet stickers made for both teams with the slogan “Battling Battens For Parker.”

Small gestures often are what resonate with us, and become the memories we cherish. I’m betting last week, Parker made some great memories.

••• I started writing this column, about young athletes setting such a fine example, Tuesday evening. By Wednesday morning, the Jackie Robinson West Little League Team out of Chicago being stripped of its national title was dominating the news.

Here again is a group of kids who lifted up their community through their actions and exemplary attitudes on and off the field.

The title was taken away because Little League International said an investigation found JRW team officials illegally included players who lived outside the team’s boundaries – and then tried to get adjacent leagues to agree to it after they did it.

Any blame that comes with the loss of the title falls on the souls of the grown-ups who should have known better.

I hope the JRW players realize the joy they brought to Chicago last summer during their run to the World Championship was real. Their character and integrity lifted the greater Chicago area. The players inspired and brought hope – two commodities that seem to be more rare with each passing year.

It’s unfair these kids are paying for the faults of adults.

These players learned, in the

JOLIET

By KATE SCHOTT JOLIET – A 22-year-old man from Joliet who was killed Friday in a business located in a CenterPoint Properties intermodal was crushed between two trucks, according to police.

Jeremy Hughes, 22, of Joliet was pronounced dead at 4:54 p.m. Friday at the emergency room of Presence Saint Joseph Medical Center in Joliet, according to the Will County Coroner’s Office.

Initial reports indicate Hughes was working near the 3000 block of CenterPoint Way in Joliet on Friday when “he was involved in a work-related mishap,” according to a message posted about 10 p.m. Friday on the coroner’s media line.

Joliet Police Chief Brian Benton said officers were dispatched at 4 p.m. Friday regarding a man crushed between two trucks.

Hughes, who worked at the

harshest and most public way possible, that often the consequences we unwillingly must endure are because of the actions of others.

We all realize, at some point in our lives, that people we trust let us down. It’s unfortunate these players, who have more class than many professional athletes, are paying for the apparent sins of adults.

We often say “kids these days” and follow it with a grumble or two. But if you look to our local kids on the ice, and the JRW players on the ball field, those of us firmly in adulthood could learn a thing or two about positive attitudes, compassion and integrity.

Kids these days indeed.

Thank you for reading The Herald-News.

business, had been pinned between the trucks and was freed by other employees, according to a text message sent

by Benton to a Herald-News reporter.

“Officers determined that the accident occurred when the victim got stuck on a patch of ice while moving containers,” Benton said.

“Other workers were deciding how to free him when the victim exited his tractor. Unknown to the victim, another driver began using his truck to try and push him free from the rear. The victim was then between his vehicle and another container parked next to him.”

The preliminary report from an autopsy performed Saturday found the cause of death to be multiple injuries due to being crushed between a trailer and semitrailer, according to the coroner’s office.

The final cause and manner of death will be determined once the police investigation, autopsy and toxicology re-

ports are done, according to the coroner’s office.

Messages left with a CenterPoint spokeswoman were not immediately returned Saturday afternoon. The incident happened at a business that leases space from the intermodal.

Scott Allen, regional director for Public Affairs for the U.S. Department of Labor, said the Occupational Safety & Health Administration intends to open an investigation into the incident.

“I can’t confirm that, until I talk to someone and that’s not going to happen today,” he said Saturday. But he noted that businesses are required by law to contact OSHA in such instances, so “OSHA intends to open one.”

The time and location of funeral services were not immediately known Saturday evening.

JOLIET – Pedro Gonzalez may have said it best about the measles predicament.

“It’s getting closer and closer to here,” Gonzalez said Friday at the Will County Community Health Center.

Gonzalez, of Bolingbrook, held son Diego, 2, as the boy braved his way through shots for measles and more at the health center. Dad acknowledged media reports on measles outbreaks in Palatine and Elgin helped spur the trip to the center’s immunization clinic.

“It’s all over the news, and he was behind on his shots,” Gonzalez said, adding he and his wife, Estela, do want to keep up on vaccinations.

“We always follow up on the shots,” he said.

While the national surge in measles cases, first reported out of Disneyland in California, did get closer to home with the outbreak at a Palatine day care center, the disease remains, as of yet, rare in Will County.

The last recorded case in Will County was in 2007, and there was one case that year, according to the Will County Health Department.

The 13 cases in Illinois this year – 12 stemming from the Palatine day care center – compare to five in all of 2013, the last year for which the Illinois Department of Public Health has records.

Sandra Betancourt places a bandage on leg of Jason White, 8 months, after giving him immunization shots Friday with his parents Alexandria Guzman and Ryan White at the Will County Community Health center in Joliet.

The Will County Community Health Center did get a call recently from a teenage girl who thought she might have the measles.

“Our medical director went out to the parking lot to meet her,” said Rita Giannattasi, health promotions specialist at the center. “It turned out she just had a rash.”

‘Incredibly infectious’

Why the parking lot?

Doctors don’t want people with measles sitting in their waiting rooms.

“Measles in particular is

incredibly infectious,” said Dr. Shelly Flais, a pediatrician with an office in Plainfield. A person with measles can sneeze and, Flais said, “Two hours later you can go into an area and catch it.”

That is, if you’re not immunized.

“Measles is highly contagious, but the vaccine is very effective,” Flais said.

Just 15 years ago, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention declared the dangerous disease eliminated in the U.S., meaning it was no longer considered a consistent

threat. In 2004, only 37 cases were diagnosed nationwide.

But that number has been surging upward in recent years, blamed in significant part on people who choose not to vaccinate their children.

Thirty-four measles outbreaks were reported in the prior two years alone, totaling about 200 in 2013 and a preliminary 644 in 2014. The U.S. now is gripped by a significant multi-state measles outbreak, with at least 120 cases in 17 states as of last week, when the CDC last updated its data.

The main culprit, according

to many doctors, is a widely discredited 1998 study, published in the United Kingdom medical journal The Lancet, that linked the MMR vaccine to autism. It was discovered that the medical records on which the study was based had all been manipulated, and that the paper’s lead author, who has since been stripped of his credentials to practice medicine, stood to gain financially because he applied for a patent for an “alternate” measles preventative agent just months before the study was published.

The Lancet in 2010 retracted the article in its entirety, and numerous other studies have discredited its findings.

Statistics show the vast majority of children are vaccinated for measles.

Still, Flais said she receives calls from families trying to find out if she treats children who don’t get vaccinations.

Flais said she directs families opposed to vaccinations elsewhere.

“Our families really appreciate that they have that level of comfort coming into the office,” she said. “The last thing you want to do is infect a waiting room of other patients.”

Infants are vulnerable to measles because they do not get the measles vaccine until 12 months of age. Under special circumstances, doctors provide vaccination as young as 6 months. Booster shots are

Lincoln-Way teen dies in traffic accident

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS and VIKAAS SHANKER Shaw Media

Lathan Goumas – lgoumas@shawmedia.com

Billy Bedford takes cellphone video of the damage done to his mother’s car after he was involved Saturday in a multi-vehicle crash, involving at least 16 vehicles, on southbound I-55 just north of exit 227 in Gardner.

Multiple-vehicle crash on I-55 still under investigation

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com GARDNER – Heading south on Interstate 55 near Gardner on Saturday morning, 26-yearold Anthony Do looked out his passenger-side window to see a semitrailer passing him on the right.

Then he couldn’t see anything.

Visibility was next to nothing, with one band of whiteout snow after another. What happened next, he said, reminded him of a scene from the movie “Final Destination.”

“I saw this semi-truck flip on its side and it started skidding. … It was as clear as day and then all of a sudden, a complete whiteout,” said Do, of Peoria. “By that time, our car had been hit a couple of times. … We were going to get out and check the damage, but then we saw all the cars behind us. We knew it was not safe to get out of the car so we just kept driving.”

He and his brother Bruce Do, 21, were within the fourth

or fifth car that was involved in Saturday’s chain-reaction multi-vehicle crash on I-55 near Gardner about 10 a.m.

Saturday, causing a bottleneck of southbound traffic for hours.

“When I stopped, all the sudden, cars behind us were veering left and right off into ditches,” Bruce Do said.

Illinois State Police Trooper Matt Wierzbinkski said the crash resulted in multiple injuries. At least 16 vehicles were involved, including a FedEx semitrailer.

The accident, which still is under investigation, occurred near mile post 227 on I-55 south, according to state police. Emergency responders from multiple area municipalities were called to assist at the scene.

Two people were taken to Presence Saint Joseph Medical Center in Joliet with serious or life-threatening injuries, Wierzbinkski said. Both were later taken to Loyola Medical Center in Maywood. Eleven others with injuries that were not life-threatening were taken

to area hospitals.

At least one individual had to be extracted from a car, Gardner Fire Protection District Chief Terry Jensen said Saturday.

Jensen said EMS arrived to find a 10-care pileup, but within five minutes, that number jumped because of the low visibility on the roads.

“When people were coming into the crash, they were taking the ditch, going anywhere possible just to try to avoid the cluster of cars on the road.”

More than a dozen individuals refused medical treatment at the scene, he said.

Several cars involved in the crash were towed to a nearby BP gas station just off exit 227, where brothers Anthony and Bruce Do shared stories with another man involved in the crash.

Billy Bedford, 48, of Chicago said he and the brothers were “the fortunate ones.”

“I’m just happy to be alive,”

NEW LENOX – Seventeen-year-old Dylan Wischover loved cars – as long as they had a Chevy emblem.

“He loved working on cars.

If it didn’t work, we fixed it,” Charlie Wischover, Dylan’s father, said in a phone interview Saturday. “He was definitely a Chevy guy. The last sweatshirt he bought showed a Chevy throwing a Ford symbol into the trash.”

The Manhattan teenager was struck and killed Friday morning by a semitrailer near Lincoln-Way Central High School as he was crossing the road near the intersection of Route 30 and Schoolhouse Road in New Lenox, according to the Will County Coroner’s Office. He was a junior at Lincoln-Way Central.

His grandmother, Hilda Wischover, said Dylan was a “good person” who would “go out of his way” to help people.

“Just a couple of weeks ago, he came over during the last winter storm to make sure my driveway was cleared,” she said.

Charlie Wischover said he and Dylan’s family have been overwhelmed by the outpouring of love and support.

A small group gathered at the high school Saturday afternoon to lay down flowers and balloons in his honor, he said.

“I knew I had a lot of friends. But I didn’t realize how much until now,” Charlie Wischover said.

‘Tragic accident’

An ambulance was called to the scene outside the school at 10:07 a.m. Friday, according to New Lenox Fire Chief Steve Engledow. Dylan was taken to Silver Cross Hospital in New Lenox, where he was pronounced dead at 10:46 a.m., according to the coroner’s office.

New Lenox Deputy Police Chief April DiSandro said

Dylan Wischover, 17, of Manhattan.

Saturday the semitrailer driver stopped after the crash occurred and no charges have been filed.

The accident still is under investigation, DiSandro said, while noting that the incident will likely end up a “very tragic accident.”

“We’re trying to figure out if he lost his balance or whether he slipped or tripped. We’re not yet sure how he ended up in the path of the semi,” DiSandro said.

Preliminary findings from an autopsy done Saturday showed the cause of death was multiple injuries due to a truck striking a pedestrian, according to the coroner’s office. The final cause and manner of death will be determined at a later date based on the police investigation, as well as autopsy and toxicology reports.

Donna Olha, a volunteer for the Bella Fiori Flower Shop just west of where the accident occurred, said she was taking a left turn from Schoolhouse Road to westbound Route 30 about 10:05 a.m. when she noticed a truck stopped along with about four cars in front of her. Plastic debris was strewn on the road.

She said she saw Wischover on the road, and then a woman came running from a car to check on him. Olha asked her if anyone had called 911 and the woman said

Slinkard to step down as president of Joliet Chamber

By BOB OKON and BRIAN STANLEY Shaw Media JOLIET – Russ Slinkard will step down next month as president of the Joliet Region Chamber of Commerce & Industry.

Slinkard will remain CEO, but will hand leadership over to Mary Jaworski on March 1 – the same day Russ he took over 19 Slinkard years ago.

According to a news release sent Friday by the Chamber, Slinkard is stepping down because of an illness that sidelined him for much of the last year. He will still work about 24 hours each week as CEO. “I have thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to work with our Chamber board of directors, staff, membership and other community leaders, including area elected political leaders and I plan to continue those relationships,” Slinkard said in the statement.

“Having Russ remain CEO while he’s able to reduce his workload and recover from his illness is really the best of both worlds,” Jaworski said. “He’s been a plethora of information, and we’re very blessed he’ll stay on in that capacity.”

It’s an ideal situation for the Joliet Chamber, said Don Fisher, Chamber board president.

“We continue to get Russ’ experience,” Fisher said. “Russ still will be the main spokesperson for the Joliet Chamber. It’s great continuity with Mary Jaworski coming on as president.

She’s proven herself.”

Fisher noted Jaworski already has run day-to-day operations and Slinkard will continue to serve as a mentor for chamber members such as

“Even when Russ was ill, he still wanted to come to work. He loved the chamber, loved helping people and loved being involved.”

Larry Walsh Will County Executive

himself.

“Mary’s been with the chamber 22 years – even longer than Russ. Mary is a tremendously hard worker,” he said.

Will County Executive Larry Walsh said Slinkard is a “knowledgeable, respectable and well-known leader” in the area who will remain essential to the Joliet Chamber. But, he added, he believes it may be best for Slinkard to slow down as he recovers.

“Even when Russ was ill, he still wanted to come to work.

He loved the chamber, loved helping people and loved being involved,” Walsh said. “Sometimes Russ put those issues off to the side for his desire to be in his office.”

Jaworski has been a Chamber staff member for 23 years and is the executive vice president. She served as acting president for six months last year.

“The Chamber and Joliet are my passions,” Jaworski said. “I look forward to working with all regional organizations for years to come.”

Joliet Mayor Tom Giarrante said Jaworski is a good choice for Slinkard’s replacement.

“I think Mary will do a great job. She’s been active in the chamber a long time,” Giarrante said.

CenterPoint, IDOT urge ICC to reopen Elwood crossing

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com ELWOOD – The Illinois Department of Transportation has reversed its position on last month’s closing of a controversial Elwood railroad crossing, having joined CenterPoint Properties late Friday in a request to the Illinois Commerce Commission to reopen the crossing.

The ICC – which governs the state’s railways – shut down the Walter Strawn Drive railroad crossing Jan. 28 amid safety concerns.

While IDOT all along has favored the closure, the state agency noted in its application Friday that a letter filed in the case just before the holidays by an IDOT attorney offered a different opinion.

The IDOT letter called for an impact study before the closure and the consideration of alternatives.

In its application filed Friday with the ICC, IDOT staff explained that the crossing’s closure has negatively impacted public safety and has “added significant additional commercial vehicle traffic to an already-congested transportation system.”

IDOT staff also cited the “debilitating impact” the closure has had on commercial vehicle traffic access to and from the two CenterPoint intermodals, noting that a regional impact study was not completed before the closure. CenterPoint’s application concurred with IDOT’s assessment.

IDOT issued a statement Friday saying “due to the ongoing concerns regarding access for certain overweight vehicles to the CenterPoint facilities

and the lack of a comprehensive traffic impact study prior to the closure, we feel this is the right decision.”

Elwood Police Chief Fred Hayes could not immediately be reached Friday for comment.

Thousands of trucks have used the 1.7-mile stretch of road just west of State Route 53 daily to reach the BNSF intermodal in Elwood or the Union Pacific intermodal in Joliet. But that route now is blocked off.

Semitrailers now are expected to use the Interstate 55/ Arsenal Road interchange – a $68 million project completed

by IDOT in 2012 to handle increased truck traffic and relieve regional traffic congestion.

Both CenterPoint and IDOT’s request calls on the ICC administrative law judge to reconsider the closure and hold additional hearings to consider new evidence. A hearing is set for Feb. 24, said Michael Scotti, attorney for CenterPoint. He said he hopes this issue is addressed at that time. The deadline to file with the ICC was Saturday, Scotti said.

Gates at that crossing were broken almost 50 times in 2013, according to village officials, who have tried for some time to steer semitrailer traffic away from the area.

Part of the problem at the crossing stems from the increase in truck traffic, which has exceeded initial projections from when the crossing project was first discussed in 2001. The crossing opened in 2004.

By BOB OKON bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Mary Beth Gannon said she does not expect to be named to the Rialto Square Theatre board when the mayor announces his appointment Tuesday.

Mayor Thomas Giarrante wasn’t saying Friday who he will appoint. But Gannon said she did not get a good feeling from her interview on Tuesday.

“I blew him away with my ideas,” Gannon said of her interview. “I gave him sheet after sheet of ideas on how to make the Rialto money and what I

would do if I was on the board.”

Gannon has been a leader in the “Rialto Belongs to the People” Facebook group that opposed a Rialto marquee replacement funded by a $350,000 donation from benefactor Ed Czerkies, until he pulled back his money.

The group has sought a bigger say on Rialto matters and has two members on a newly formed Rialto marquee committee. Gannon is one of them.

Gannon has campaigned to be appointed to an open seat on the Will County Metropolitan Exposition and Auditorium Authority, which oversees the Rialto. Giarrante said he will

“The way he said. ‘I’ll give you the consideration you deserve,’ I think was a back-handed compliment.”

Mary Beth Gannon candidate for Rialto Square Theatre board name an appointment Tuesday.

“I told him, ‘I hope you give me a fair chance,’ ” Gannon said of her interview with the mayor. She said the mayor’s re-

ply was, ‘You will be given the consideration you deserve.’ ” Giarrante said Friday he received 12 applications, and one of the applicants pulled out. He had interviewed 10 of the 11 candidates as of Friday afternoon.

He declined to comment about Gannon or any of the applicants.

The only applicant publicly known is Gannon, who has campaigned for the position.

Gannon objected when the mayor was going to appoint someone else to the Rialto board. When the two previous candidates being considered by the mayor withdrew, Giarran-

te said he would open up the appointment to applicants.

Giarrante said he will release the names of applicants who gave the OK for their names to be made public, but not others.

“Those who have no problems with their names being released, their names will be released,” he said.

Gannon has signed up to speak at Tuesday’s City Council meeting. She did that because she does not expect to be appointed, she said.

“The way he said, ‘I’ll give you the consideration you deserve,’ I think was a back-handed compliment,” Gannon said.

JOLIET – Illinois will run out of money at the end of March to pay court reporters, creating the potential for an “absolute disaster,” Will County Chief Judge Richard Schoenstedt said Friday.

“Every felony case, by law, must have a live court reporter. Every juvenile case has to have a live court reporter,” Schoenstedt said. “It would be an absolute disaster.”

The state’s court reporter program is facing a $14.3 million shortfall for the budget year that ends June 30, and Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner and party caucus leaders in Springfield are in the midst of negotiations for a budget fix.

Court reporters are critical to the state’s justice system, said Jennifer Danley, chief of court reporters in Will County.

Running out of money would no doubt cause case delays and other issues, she added.

“Make no mistake, if we cannot pay, it will shut down the Illinois courts. These are mandated court reporters,”

“Every felony case, by law, must have a live court reporter. Every juvenile case has to have a live court reporter. It would be an absolute disaster.”

Richard Schoenstedt Will County chief judge Danley said. “That’s all there is to it.”

For civil cases – such as divorce or small claims – Will County could get by with electronic recordings, Schoenstedt said. But even then, court reporters are responsible for monitoring the audio and taking notes as recordings play out.

The county’s options will be “very limited,” he said.

“What do I do? Do I close half the felony courtrooms?

Put everyone on half salary to stretch it out through the month?” Schoenstedt said.

“There’s a plethora of options, but none that are any good.”

The budget shortage is a result of the state spending plan approved in May. The court reporting budget shortfall stems from a budgeting error, Danley said.

Historically, the court reporter program is funded through the state’s General Revenue Fund. Money taken from that fund, by law, can be appropriated to the state’s Central Management Services for costs associated with group insurance premiums and pension contributions.

This year, when crafting the budget, state lawmakers decided to fund part of the court reporters program through the Personal Property Replacement Tax Fund, thereby leaving it up to the local courts to bear the cost of group insurance premiums and pension contributions, Danley said.

“We’re no longer receiving those contributions. That’s what created the shortfall,” Danley said.

State Rep. Larry Walsh Jr., D-Elwood, said Friday he spoke with the Illinois House Democrats’ chief of staff, who said negotiations are ongoing.

representatives Friday were not immediately returned.

Solutions in the works include a possible supplemental appropriations bill and the

legislature granting Rauner greater authority to reallocate money from other budget areas to fund essential state services.

Officer recognized for detective work

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Carlos Matlock was disappointed by the police officers who patrolled the Chicago neighborhood where he grew up.

“I saw a lot of times where they didn’t treat people well.

I wanted to be different [and] make a difference,” the Joliet police detective said. “You see a lot of stories about what we don’t do. But I [became a cop] to give back to the community ... to make Detective things better for Carlos people.”

On Tuesday, Matlock Matlock was recognized by the Exchange Club of Joliet as the 2014 Police Officer of the Year. Matlock, a police officer for more than 20 years, successfully closed 152 of the 164 cases assigned to him last year.

Police Chief Brian Benton called Matlock the “true model of a police detective.”

“He’s one of the most reliable members of our department. He can always be counted on to come in on a moment’s notice or stay late and give 110 percent,” Benton said.

Matlock worked all but one of the city’s homicides last year. When a woman was stabbed to death in August,

Matlock then questioned the suspect and obtained a full confession, Benton said.

In September, a woman was stabbed to death in Evergreen Terrace. Matlock identified a suspect after watching surveillance video and “he and another detective were able to break the suspect’s lies and [secure] a confession,” Benton said.

In December, Matlock questioned another suspect in a fatal drive-by shooting.

“Because of his ... impressive interview skills, two of the vehicle’s occupants were charged with first-degree murder,” Benton said.

Matlock said he is humbled and grateful for the recognition.

JOLIET – Leaders of a new fundraising arm for the Forest Preserve District of Will County hope to hit the ground running this year.

But first, they’re going to need a little help from some friends.

“This is an opportunity for citizens to support the things they’re passionate about,” said Cindy Harn, district public affairs and education director.

Aptly titled “Friends of the Forest Preserve District of Will County,” the nonprofit charity foundation aims to raise money for projects the district “wouldn’t be able to accomplish on its own,” Harn said.

Ann Dralle, chairwoman for the foundation board, said the group is “still in its infancy stage,” but is stepping up

efforts in 2015 to raise money and identify new projects for the district.

“It’s a really broad brush that we have to look at,” Dralle said. “We’re going to be relying on volunteers, on organizations and groups, and encourage everyone to play a role in our fundraising ventures.”

The group, which has earned status as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, was created last year with the goal of raising, receiving, administering and distributing funds to or for the sole benefit of the district.

Since then, 11 members have been appointed to the foundation’s board.

It accepted its first donation earlier this year.

Lee Werner, with the Peotone-based Lee Werner Excavating company, donated $2,000 to the foundation last month.

Joliet and Will County close to completing water and sewer deal jacent to city limits. Also, Joliet will not annex the county property while providing water and sewer.

City Manager Jim Hock said the project is being done in large part “because we have a relationship with the county.

We’re good partners with all government units that neighbor our borders.”

But Mayor Thomas Giarrante said at the last City Council meeting that providing water and sewer service to the county property will help smooth the way to keeping the courthouse downtown when the county builds a new facility.

The matter came up when some council members said the city needs to consider financial incentives to ensure the courthouse stays downtown.

City officials are negotiating deals with the landowners along the way to the facilities at Laraway and Manhattan roads.

In cases where landowners want to tap into city water at no cost, the city is providing that, Hock said. When landowners want cash for the easement, the county is paying, he said.

The county will pay for the water and sewer lines to be constructed. The city will not charge a tap-on fee. But the county will pay regular water and sewer charges once service is provided.

JOLIET – The Joliet City Council will get a chance Tuesday to help incentivize county officials to build a courthouse downtown.

It’s an indirect incentive.

But city and county officials said water and sewer service being brought to Will County operations on Laraway Road will help.

“This was not directly related to the courthouse,” said Nick Palmer, chief of staff for Will County Executive Larry Walsh. “But indirectly it’s been seen as something that the city is doing something for the county, and the county was building the courthouse downtown and some other things.”

The county wants city water and sewer because the septic facility on the site is deteriorating, Palmer said.

The City Council on Tuesday is set to vote on one more piece of property easement being acquired to extend Joliet water and sewer service to the county operations on Laraway Road.

The city is close to acquiring all the land needed to make the extension possible.

Joliet is going beyond its usual policy of only extending water and sewer to property ad-

QUICK NEWS

Kaupas to advise Randolph County

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com CHESTER – Someone tell Drew Peterson there’s an old sheriff in town.

Since a media crush is expected in Randolph County where the former Bolingbrook cop is charged with trying to put a hit on Will Paul County State’s Kaupas Attorney James Glasgow, Sheriff Shannon Wolff sought advice from someone who’s dealt with Peterson and the press. “[Wolff] contacted me and I told him what to expect,” retired Will County Sheriff Paul Kaupas said Thursday. “He asked if I’d come down next week and look at his logistics and how they can deal with it.”

Kaupas, who retired in

December after 12 years as sheriff, met Wolff briefly in November when he gave a four-hour presentation to the Illinois Sheriff’s Association.

The subject was how sheriff’s departments can deal with the media in high-profile cases, which Kaupas illustrated with the overlapping 2012 murder trials of Christopher Vaughn and Peterson.

Kaupas has never been to Randolph County. He’ll make the five-hour drive with his second cousin, retired State Police Capt. Ken Kaupas, who lost a close race to Mike Kelley to replace Paul Kaupas last year.

“They have nine full-time deputies ... usually just one guy at the door of the courthouse,” Paul Kaupas said.

“Their county board will have to understand, even if they call in all the part-timers, they will still need overtime.”

Shorewood-Troy library window project to resume Tuesday

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com SHOREWOOD – Construction on the two-story window-wall at Shorewood-Troy Public Library is expected to resume Tuesday under the helm of a new contractor.

A $63,900 contract with Glen Ellyn-based RoMAAS Inc. was approved last month by library trustees to complete one of the library’s largest projects ever after the previous contractor, Evanston-based Continental Construction, failed to finish the job and allegedly ceased

communication with officials.

“We’re just finalizing the last couple of contracts for subcontractors,” said Alex Mihailescu, RoMAAS owner, adding the project is ahead of schedule and installation of the windows will start Tuesday.

Library Director Jennie Mills said RoMAAS remains in constant contact with the library and architecture firm involved, and hoped to have the wall finished by March 20.

“There’s a much smoother communication with them,” Mills said. “They are very responsive to our concerns.”

Much of the outside work was completed by contractors under Continental, although months after the initial Oct. 24 completion date. RoMAAS plans to start installation of the window-wall Tuesday and follow up with interior drywall, painting and installing carpeting.

Continental allegedly ceased contact with library officials in late December after delaying work on the project for two months.

Mills said the library board has considered legal action against Continental, but at this

point it isn’t likely.

“We certainly want vengeance and to punish them,” Mills said. “But it’s not worth the legal fees and taxpayer dollars.”

Mills said the library was out about $13,000, but most of that went to subcontractors.

In addition to the $63,900 contract with RoMAAS, the total project cost didn’t significantly change.

Continental Construction did not immediately return phone calls for comment Friday.

The glass windows, con-

structed by Indiana-based Meyer Glass and Mirrors, was originally contracted by Continental Construction. Mihailescu said the glass company is being retained because much of the glass work already was finished.

Joe Schultz, a Meyer representative, said the company still is officially in a contract with Continental Construction and is switching to RoMAAS. Schultz wouldn’t comment on its communications with Continental Construction because it was still under contract with the firm.

Charlie Wischover said his son was “everything” to him.

He said he and Dylan were trying to fix up a Chevy pickup truck that he received from his uncle.

“His bedroom is filled with

All-wheel drive, refinement highlight Subaru 2015 lineup 2.0i Premium, 2.0i Limited and the XV Crosstrek Hybrid. The hybrid combines a 2.0-liter Subaru BOXER engine with a 13.4-hp electric motor integrated with a CVT, and offers the same all-terrain capability as its gas-only relative.

Also look for the 2015 WRX STI, which won the recent Rally America National Championship “Sno*Drift Rally” in northern Michigan, overcoming 120 miles of treacherous snowand ice-covered roads. With an aero body design and stiffer chassis, the 2015 edition is powered by a 305-horsepower 2.5-liter turbocharged BOXER engine with a reinforced six-speed manual gearbox. Its stablemate, the WRX, is powered by a 268-horsepower, 2.0-liter, turbocharged 4-cylinder engine.

The Outback also was redesigned for 2015, with more room, better fuel economy, standard CVT, and more safety features including available EyeSight Driver Assist Technology, which integrates Adaptive Cruise Control, Pre-Collision Braking and Vehicle Lane Departure Warning. Base power is the 175-horsepower 4-cylinder, with the 6-cylinder 3.6R Limited with 256 horsepower available on some models.

Subaru’s strong 2015 lineup also offers the five-passenger Forester, which helped launch the crossover sport utility segment, the four- and five-door Impreza compact sedans, and the BRZ, the only vehicle in the lineup with rear-wheel drive.

The best-selling Forester 2.5i achieves EPA fuel economy estimates of 24 mpg city/32 mpg highway with a

Standard power is a 170-hp 2.5-liter naturally aspirated 4-cylinder BOXER engine, with 250-hp 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder BOXER engine available on some models.

The popular Impreza offers upgraded styling for 2015, quicker steering, a quieter interior, and new standards such as a 6.2-inch smartphone-linked touch-screen infotainment system, cruise control, and rear view camera.

All models offer a 148-horsepower,

2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine with a 5-speed manual transmission or CVT. The rear-drive BRZ, billed as a “purist performance sports car,” offers a retuned suspension and a 200-horsepower BOXER engine. Subaru has announced that a BRZ Series.Blue limited-edition model with exclusive design and features is available.

NEW 2015 SUBARU LEGACY 2.5I PREMIUM

• Sunday, February 15, 2015

Subaru of America is highlighting several of its premier models at the Chicago Auto Show, including the Outback and XV Crosstrek crossovers, Legacy sedan and WRX STI. The full lineup of Subarus -- famous for standard all-wheel-drive -- is available for closer examination at your local dealership. Here’s what’s new.

For Legacy, it’s a return to the stage of its 2014 debut, and since then it has gained mileage as a class leader with standout design, interior refinement, safety technology, high fuel efficiency and the largest interior passenger volume in its class.

The Legacy 2.5i is powered by a double-overhead-cam 2.5-liter BOXER engine, with 175 horsepower, and Subaru also offers the 3.6-liter BOXER engine with a healthy 256 hp.

Legacy offers some real premiums, many standard, such as CVT (continuously variable transmission), 60/40 split fold-down rear seat, rear-view camera, Incline Start Assist, and Hill Holder System that holds the vehicle in place until the driver applies the throttle.

Subaru also is showing the XV Crosstrek, a five-door crossover that is one of the most fuel-efficient all-wheeldrive utility vehicles available, delivering up to 34 mpg highway. Standard are Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, high ground clearance (8.7 inches), 17inch alloy wheels and ample room for passengers and cargo.

Also, in January, Subaru announced a limited Special Edition model, available through dealerships this spring, joining the 2.0i base trim,

In Memory of

Martha J. Toth

February 5, 1934 - February 13, 2014 The blow was hard, the shock severe; We never dreamed your death so near.

But only those who love can tell The pain of parting without farewell.

God give us strength to face this blow, What it mean losing you, no one will know.

To hear your voice, to see your smile, To sit and talk with you awhile; To be together in the same old way Would be our dearest wish today.

But loving memories never die As years roll on and days go by; In our hearts a memory is kept Of the one we love and will never forget.

Your presence we miss Your memory we treasure Loving you always, Your Family

Wendi Jo Zubcic In loving memory of our daughter who would have been 39 years old Our precious little girl You are forever loved, & forever missed Rest in peace little Angel!

Stragglers sign up for health insurance ahead of deadline

CHICAGO – An important health law deadline and the prospect of higher tax penalties for those who remain uninsured prodded some Illinois residents to sign up for coverage this weekend.

Sunday is the final day to enroll in private health insurance coverage for 2015 under President Barack Obama’s health care law.

“The deadline is all over everywhere you turn. You can’t avoid it: TV, radio, church, wife, kids, co-workers,” said 44-year-old Ramiro Hernandez, a previously uninsured truck repair shop owner who enrolled himself and his family Saturday in Joliet. He said he heard he’d have to pay a sizeable penalty if he didn’t sign up.

Technical difficulties tied up some applicants Saturday when the electronic income verification system stalled. The Obama administration said anyone affected would be able to enroll.

Nonprofit’s medical marijuana license challenged in court

CHICAGO – An unusual legal case brewing in central Illinois poses a provocative question: Should a nonprofit organization that’s exempt from federal taxes be allowed to grow medical marijuana, in violation of federal law?

An attorney is seeking a judge’s permission to file a lawsuit against Shelby County Community Services, a Shelbyville nonprofit that provides drug addiction counseling and runs a mental health clinic. The nonprofit recently won a license to grow marijuana in Illinois’

new medical cannabis program.

“Shelby County Community Services was never legally able to have a medical cannabis license at the time they applied,” said attorney Sean Britton, who filed the petition Friday in Coles County Circuit Court.

The petition claims the nonprofit has federal tax-exempt status, which should bar it from breaking federal law. Friday’s court filing is a required preliminary step before a lawsuit can be filed, Britton said. The court is expected to decide later this month whether the lawsuit can be filed.

Ill. measles count climbs to 13 cases

CHICAGO – Two more children in suburban Cook County have come down with measles, bringing the Illinois tally of confirmed cases to 13.

The Illinois and Cook County public health departments updated their measles counts late Friday. Twelve of the 13 cases are associated with a KinderCare Learning Center in Palatine.

Health officials are still investigating possible causes for the cluster of cases. The disease is highly contagious.

Ninety percent of people who aren’t immunized are infected if exposed to the virus.

In Kane County, the health department is offering measles vaccines to unvaccinated students and employees at Elgin Community College who may have had contact with one of the reported cases.

The college’s website says the health department has sent emails to the students and employees who may have been exposed.

Psychiatrist pleads guilty in kickback case

CHICAGO – A Chicago psychiatrist has pleaded guilty to taking illegal kickbacks of nearly $600,000 to prescribe an anti-psychotic drug to his patients.

Dr. Michael J. Reinstein, 71, entered the plea Friday in federal court in Chicago. A judge will set a date for sentencing. Reinstein’s plea agreement calls for the government to recommend a sentence of 18.5 months in prison. Reinstein also agreed to pay the United States and Illinois $3.79 million to settle a parallel civil lawsuit regarding the alleged submission of at least 140,000 false claims to Medicare and Medicaid.

Illinois regulators suspended Reinstein’s license last year.

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS GOP says Obama giving ‘amnesty bonuses’

WASHINGTON – Millions of immigrants benefiting from President Barack Obama’s executive actions could get a windfall from the IRS, a reversal of fortune after years of paying taxes to help fund government programs they were banned from receiving.

Armed with new Social Security numbers, many of these immigrants who were living in the U.S. illegally will now be able to claim up to four years’ worth of tax credits designed to benefit the working poor. For big families, that’s a maximum of nearly $24,000, as long as they can document their earnings during those years.

Some Republicans are labeling the payments “amnesty bonuses,” one more reason they oppose Obama’s program shielding millions of immigrants from deportation.

past two centuries.

Still it’s a low risk, about a 1 in 2,500 years’ chance of happening, according to geophysicist William Ellsworth of the U.S. Geological Survey.

“To some degree we’ve dodged a bullet in Oklahoma,” Ellsworth said after a presentation to the American Association for the Advancement of Science.

But, he added, “This is not to say we expect a large earthquake tomorrow.”

The scene outside the Copenhagen cafe, where a gunman opened fire Saturday in what is seen as a likely terror attack against a free speech event organized by an artist who had caricatured the Prophet Muhammad. The police believe there was only one shooter in the attack on a Copenhagen cafe that left one person dead and three police officers wounded.

2 deadly shootings within hours in Copenhagen; five wounded The ASSOCIATED PRESS COPENHAGEN, Denmark – A shooting at a free speech event featuring an artist who had caricatured the Prophet Muhammad and a second shooting hours later outside a synagogue left two dead and five police officers wounded in Copenhagen, stirring fears that another terror spree was under way in a European capital a month after 17 people were killed in Paris attacks.

Police couldn’t say whether the shootings at a cultural center Saturday afternoon and in front of the synagogue early Sunday were connected, but didn’t rule it out. In both shootings, the gunman got away.

“We are looking for two perpetrators,” police spokesman Allan Wadsworth-Hansen told reporters.

The first shooting happened shortly before 4 p.m. Saturday.

Danish police said the gunman used an automatic weapon to shoot through the windows of the Krudttoenden cultural center during a panel discus-

sion on freedom of expression following the Paris attacks. A 55-year-old man attending the event was killed, while three police officers were wounded.

Two belonged to the Danish security service PET, which said the circumstances surrounding the shooting “indicate that we are talking about a terror attack.”

The gunman then fled in a carjacked Volkswagen Polo that was found later a few miles away, police said.

Lars Vilks, a Swedish artist who has faced numerous death threats for caricaturing the Prophet Muhammad, was one of the main speakers at the event, titled “Art, blasphemy and freedom of expression.”

He was whisked away by his bodyguards unharmed as the shooting began. Vilks, 68, later told The Associated Press he believed he was the intended target of the shooting.

“What other motive could there be? It’s possible it was inspired by Charlie Hebdo,” he said, referring to the Jan. 7 attack by Islamic extremists

on the French newspaper that had angered Muslims by lampooning Muhammad.

Police spokesman Joergen Skov said it was possible the gunman had planned the “same scenario” as in the Charlie Hebdo massacre.

After searching for the first gunman for hours, police reported the second shooting in downtown Copenhagen after midnight Sunday.

Wadsworth-Hansen said that gunman opened fire at two police officers outside the synagogue. They were wounded in the arms and legs but were not in life-threatening condition, while a civilian man was killed. The gunman fled on foot. Witnesses in a bar across the street from the synagogue said they saw special police teams moving in with automatic rifles.

“We looked out the window and saw this guy lying on the street,” said Rasmus Thau Riddersholm, 33. “We were told by police to stay in the back of the room, away from the windows and doors.”

Measles vaccination in Will County schools

Many of the schools within the major school districts in Will County have near 100 percent immunization rate against measles. Statewide, schools have reported a 98.3 percent total vaccination rate for measles for the 2013-14 school year, according to the Illinois Board of Education.

Even with the fear of a measles outbreak in the news, Will County school officials have said they will continue to follow Illinois law and health guidelines with no changes to school policy.

“We continue to just wait and follow whatever guidelines the Will County Health Department gives us,” said Tom Hernandez, Plainfield School District 202 spokesman. “We are in touch with the health department. … We will respond appropriately if the measles situation catches up to Will County.”

Illinois schools are required by law to make sure students are immunized against certain diseases, such as measles, before they enroll. Students can be exempt from that requirement for religious or medical reasons.

Schools within Plainfield School District 202, which includes up to 30 elementary, middle and high schools, have a combined vaccination rate for measles of 98.8 percent, according to state data. Sixteen students are noncompliant with the vaccine across Plainfield district schools.

Noncompliance rates do not include students who are exempt from the vaccine for religious or medical reasons.

Joliet Public Schools District 86 has a vaccination rate of 98 percent, with a total of 203 students non-compliant on the measles vaccine.

Joliet Township High School District 204 has a vaccination rate of 99.6 percent, with eight noncompliant students. Lockport Township High School District 205 has a vaccination rate of 99.5 percent, with no noncompliant students.

But Mokena School Superintendent Omar Castillo said the number from the State Board of Education is incomplete.

“I’m working with them on trying to correct that,” he said.

Oil prices likely to rise by end of year, early 2016 Dear Mr. Berko: I own four master limited partnerships (Linn Energy, Atlas Resource Partners, Atlas Pipeline Partners and Kinder Morgan) that have fallen 70 percent because the price of crude oil has crashed, and the prices of my three blue chip oil stocks (Chevron, Exxon Mobil and Royal Dutch Shell) have fallen 25 to 30 percent since September.

Could you consult your crystal ball (if you have one) and tell me whether oil prices will go back up? If they will, when? And would you recommend that I hold my MLPs and oil stocks or sell them or add to my position?

My broker is a nice 30-something kid, but way out of his league. I’ve asked his opinion, but to use your expression, he’s afraid to give me the time of day unless he calls Greenwich. So he continues to repeat his firm’s “hold” recommendations.

Your advice would be greatly

TAKING STOCK Malcolm Berko appreciated. – MC, Fort Wal-

ton Beach, Fla. Dear MC: John Hofmeister,

who was president of Shell Oil from 2005 to 2008, attracted national attention in mid-2010, when he predicted gasoline would be selling for $5 a gallon by 2012. Hofmeister came close, as gasoline was fetching over $4.61 at the pump in California.

Now Hofmeister is making headlines again, predicting, “The next round of high prices is likely to start later this year as crude rebounds to the $80s and $90s, perhaps pushing to the $100 level by late in the year or early next.”

T. Boone Pickens (who denies any relationship to Daniel) believes that within the next 12 to 18 months, oil will return to $100 a barrel.

And a few other legends who know their way around the oil patch seem to share similar opinions. That’s too bad!

The enormous implosion in oil prices has left the globe awash in cheap crude. And the highly paid, brilliant oil analysts at Bank of America, Goldman Sachs, UBS, J.P. Morgan, etc., never saw it coming. Never in a hundred, never in a thousand and never in a million years did they believe that oil would trade at $40 a barrel or that there’d be excess production of between 1 million and 2 million barrels a day.

Smart traders are searching for storage solutions to warehouse the overflow and competing among themselves to lease tankers that can store crude at sea. Meanwhile, shipbrokers and agents who match lessors with lessees are having a dandy time leasing very large crude carriers, which can hold 2 million barrels.

A similar strategy occurred

Lipari gets grant for classroom makeover THE HERALD–NEWS JOLIET – Joliet Township High School Orchestra Director Peter Lipari received a surprise visit Thursday from Meemic Insurance, where he learned he won a $500 classroom makeover.

Lipari entered the contest at the Illinois Music Education Conference that was held in Peoria, according to a news release from the school district. The award was granted from the O’Brien Educators Insurance Agency in Joliet.

The winner was selected based on criteria that included: who will benefit from the program, a demonstrated need for funding, and how the program will enhance current and future curriculum.

in 2008, when crude prices imploded from $146 a barrel in July to $37 by Christmastime.

As prices collapsed, traders continued buying crude rather than selling it, and then they warehoused the excess and waited for prices to return.

They were as right as a button; before the 2009 year had closed, crude prices were $85 to $90 a barrel, and traders had nearly doubled their money. Now the big oil traders (e.g., Koch Industries, Mercuria Energy Group, Vitol, Royal Dutch Shell, Trafigura and Gunvor Group) are doing it again. Daily tanker rates for VLCCs have doubled, to $90,000 a day, and traders are competing for land-based tanks to store their crude.

Tanks in Cushing, Oklahoma – the largest storage hub in the U.S. – hold 36 million barrels, and share prices of Netherlands-based Royal Vopak (VOPKF), the largest storage tank operator, have risen from $36 in December to

$56.30 today.

I’m familiar with the type of broker you describe – well-mannered, well-liked but too timid to bite a biscuit.

With a broker such as this, you’d be better off moving your account to a discount firm and saving 90 percent on commission costs. And yes, I do have a crystal ball.

I won the thing while attending a birthday gala hosted by friends at Chuck E. Cheese’s a dozen years ago.

It gives me a “guaranteed maybe” with unerring accuracy about 50 percent of the time and suggests that Linn Energy (LINE-$13.01), Atlas Resource Partners (ARP-$10.03), Atlas Pipeline Partners (APL-$27.04) and Kinder Morgan (KMI$41.38) are attractive issues at these prices.

OUR VIEW

Please don’t wait – vaccinate Unwelcome news came earlier this month – a cluster of measles cases is being investigated by public health officials in suburban Chicago.

Five children under 1 year old at a day care facility in Palatine either are confirmed or diagnosed to have measles, a highly contagious respiratory disease with a characteristic rash. In the middle of last week, an Elgin Community College student who lives in Cook County also was diagnosed with the measles. As of Saturday, there were 13 people in the state with measles. Nationwide, there were 121 cases in 17 states, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The illness, once thought gone from our country, is being spread because of a small number of parents who cited a religious legal exemption in not having their school children vaccinated for measles, mumps and rubella.

Many of the schools within the major school districts in Will and Grundy counties have near 100 percent immunization rate against measles. Statewide, schools have reported a 98.3 percent total vaccination rate for measles for the 2013-14 school year, according to the Illinois Board of Education.

MMR vaccines also may be declined through a medical exemption, but a statement from a licensed medical practitioner is required. According to state law, the only other way for school-age children to avoid the MMR vaccine is for them to be home-schooled.

Over the years, the vaccination mandate had the desired results. Measles, mumps and rubella became practically nonexistent among students.

Times have changed. A minority of “anti-vaxxers” claim vaccines can cause autism, although numerous scientific studies have discounted the one study that claimed to have found such a link. The publication that printed that one study even retracted it.

Generally, what’s called “herd immunity” – that is, the benefit of having large numbers of the population incapable of being infected and passing on a disease – has protected those who aren’t immunized.

But herd immunity begins to evaporate when larger numbers of people aren’t vaccinated for a particular disease. The recent outbreak of measles at Disneyland in California, a state where many anti-vaxxers live, is a case in point.

Last year, the U.S. had 644 measles cases in 27 states.

So much for the disease being eradicated.

In the past five years, Illinois had 10 cases of the measles. In just a few weeks, Illinois added 13 more – a small number, but still a matter of concern.

Health officials and doctors almost uniformly support the safety and effectiveness of vaccinations such as MMR. The time for complacency is over.

Proven and widely available, vaccinations should be accepted by all to prevent needless suffering.

Don’t wait. Vaccinate.

GUEST VIEW / STATE REP. MARK BATINICK

Batinick set to donate 10 percent of his salary to community charities Community involvement is a great way to enrich your own life and those of others around you. We are fortunate to have dozens of outstanding civic and charitable organizations in our area that are worthy of our support.

I am pleased to announce that I will donate 10 percent of my salary each month to a local charitable cause. The first two I’ve selected both have fundraising events coming up – the Greater Joliet Area YMCA and the Plainfield Junior Woman’s Club.

The Greater Joliet Area YMCA has been serving families regardless of age, income or background from throughout Will County since 1928. A mainstay in the Joliet community for more than 85 years, the YMCA brings families closer together, encourages good health and fosters connections through fitness, sports, fun and shared interests.

The YMCA is hosting its eighth annual Giving Gala on Feb. 28 at the Bolingbrook Golf

Club. Funds raised from this year’s Giving Gala will benefit the YMCA’s scholarship fund, helping to ensure that no one is turned away from the YMCA because of the inability to pay. For information, visit www.jolietymca.org.

The YMCA is mourning the recent loss of the Giving Gala’s co-chairman, Tim Stetenfeld, an award-winning financial adviser with the Plainfield office of Edward Jones Investments. I filed HR 114 to honor Tim’s memory, which was adopted Feb. 4 by the Illinois House of Representatives. Please join me in keeping Tim’s wife, Cathy, and her family in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. Tim’s service to others and his many contributions to our community will be greatly missed.

The other organization I am donating to this month is the Plainfield Junior Woman’s Club, a nonprofit dedicated to community improvement by enhancing the lives of others

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR BUILD COURTHOUSE ON EXISTING PARKING LOT To the Editor:

I am not an architect, nor am I a city planner – just an ordinary taxpayer. I do not live in Joliet, but I have to put my two cents in, for what it’s worth.

It would seem to me that building the new courthouse over the existing parking lot with parking underneath would be the most logical plan. There would be additional parking where the present courthouse is.

Chicago Street could be reopened to ease traffic. The street south of the building could be vacated for additional parking or for a larger building.

O’DEKIRK MAILER HITS THE WRONG TONE To the Editor:

Please let me preface this

letter by stating that I have yet to decide which of the mayoral candidates will get my vote in our upcoming election.

Nonetheless, the postcard I recently received from Mr. O’Dekirk’s campaign committee will not help his chances. He promises to “freeze property taxes for all homeowners.” As I checked my property tax bill, I saw that less than 16 percent of my taxes go to the city. The mayor has no control over the other taxing bodies.

Mr. O’Dekirk goes on to promise to “institute a citywide program to provide snow shoveling to all seniors.” The Census Department estimates the 2013 population of Joliet at 147,806 with 8.4 percent over 65 years of age. That commits Mr. O’Dekirk to shoveling for over 12,000 senior citizens. Seriously?

Do the math.

Mr. O’Dekirk should consider refraining from pandering to the electorate and instead focus on specific, realistic solutions to the very serious problems facing our city.

THE TRUTH ABOUT GLOBAL WARMING To the Editor:

Professor John Christy, director of the Earth Science Center at the University of Alabama, said there was no global warming in the last 18 years as measured by the Earth’s climate satellite system. The actual temperature trend is different from what their models predicted, meaning their models are wrong. Several occurrences of fraud or errors in environmental reports have been found. They are named Climategate 1, 2 and 3.

A Democrat-majority Senate rejected the Environmental Protection Agency request for imposing a carbon tax because of the serious adverse economic impact and the lack of scientific support for man-made global warming. There is no such thing as man-made global warming; that is what 31,000 scientists said at petitionproject.org. John Casey, President Space and Science Research Corporation, said: “Man-made global warming is greatest scientific fraud in history.” In a recent article on Yahoo, Ted Maksym oceanographer at Woods Hole Oceanographic

Institution, said the poles are not melting and are stable.

Those so-called terrible greenhouse gases actually are 95 percent water vapor and only about 0.5 percent carbon dioxide, which is an essential plant nutrient. Short-term climate change is called weather. Long-term climate change is scientifically correlated with sun activity and not carbon dioxide. Attempting to control carbon dioxide will have little effect on the climate but will hurt people.

Following the money, we find several environmental research organizations manipulating data and using alarmism to generate money for their jobs. The Obama administration awarded money to campaign contributors starting green companies like Solyndra. The companies went bankrupt, crony capitalist friends got rich, and taxpayers got the bill. The Green Movement initiatives of cap and trade, carbon tax, and regulations against using abundant fossil fuels are merely regressive taxes that hurt the poor the most.

On road to 2016, time to change pay-to-play system Just this month, Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg named Citizens United – the 2010 decision that gave corporations the same freedom of speech rights as people and rubber-stamped unlimited corporate spending in elections – as the one decision in the last decade she would overturn if she could. And President Barack Obama told Vox recently he “would love to see” a constitutional amendment overturning the decision.

It’s rare for a sitting president and a Supreme Court justice to say publicly that a recent court decision should be reversed, but this particular case has no shortage of critics – and with good reason. Over the past five years, campaign spending – especially from undisclosed sources known as “dark money” – has skyrocketed, with last year’s midterm election ranking as the most

VIEWS Donna Brazile expensive on record.

And the 2016 race already is looking expensive.

Jeb Bush is hoping to lock down donors in the New York City metropolitan area and to dissuade potential Republican rivals. He hosted a $100,000-a-ticket fundraiser, which will help contribute to an estimated final haul of $50 million to $100 million for his Right to Rise super PAC. It’s less than a year until voters will gather for caucuses or cast primary ballots; but instead of hearing about candidates’ issue platforms, all we’re getting is stories about their closed-door meetings with big donors.

Last month, the Koch

brothers hosted an event for GOP presidential hopefuls to “try out” in front of a room full of billionaire donors. Shortly after this private “Koch primary,” the brothers announced their 2016 spending goal of nearly $900 million. With that kind of money up for grabs, it’s no wonder presidential hopeful Paul is considering changing some of his positions to appeal not to average voters but to those signing the campaign checks.

And there’s no question that Democratic donors also are looking for ways to match the donations made by big GOP donors.

Unfortunately, the flood of money doesn’t just stop after elections are over. These powerful interests impact policy decisions once their handpicked politicians are in office.

Voters know this is not how democracy is meant to

work. Political speech should not just be for those with the most money. We understand that when a few millionaires and billionaires are able to secretly influence elections and candidates, we all pay the price on the issues that matter most to us.

We need a system where everyone participates and everyone’s voice is heard. We need to ensure that everyone knows who is trying to buy influence in our elections and government. We need politicians to play by common-sense rules and be held accountable.

Most of all, we need to expand the voices of those left out – in some cases intentionally kept out – of the process.

Last month, a group of Democrats and Republicans introduced a series of reform bills in Congress on the fifth anniversary of Citizens United. And nearly three in four

Americans agree with President Obama in their support for a constitutional amendment to overturn the decision, with a petition in favor of that amendment garnering more than 5 million signatures.

The demand for change is only growing and getting louder. At the local level, 16 states and about 600 cities and towns have passed resolutions or taken other action.

For voters, it’s time we ask candidates to disclose all their donors and ask third-party shadow groups to do the same.

We deserve to know whether the policies our politicians pursue are more focused on good governance or are simply a quid pro quo arrangement to keep campaign coffers filled.

NORMAL COMMUNITY CLASS 3A WRESTLING SECTIONAL

Eight win sectional titles; 25 reach state

By CURT HERRON cherron@shawmedia.com NORMAL – Plainfield North’s Luke Smiley was kind of upset no one considered him a likely candidate to compete for a title at the Class 3A Normal Community Sectional.

So the Tigers sophomore got a takedown six seconds into overtime to edge Lincoln-Way East’s Jason Stokes, 4-2, for the 126-pound championship.

“When the last rankings went up, I wasn’t even on them, but I beat five kids that were ranked, so I guess that it shows them,” Smiley said.

“There were three kids that I had beaten the previous week, and that motivated me for the rest of the week. I knew that I could go out and beat any of the guys that they said were better than me, and I did.”

Smiley was one of eight area champions and 25 individual qualifiers for next weekend’s state finals in Champaign.

Lockport led all area teams with five qualifiers and three champions – Abdullah Assaf (113), Shayne Oster (138) and Tyler Johnson (195). Plainfield East advanced three individuals, including champions Michael McGee (106) and Zach Krause (132). Minooka’s Carson Oughton (170); and Plainfield South’s Eric Johnson (220) also won titles.

Lincoln-Way Central had four qualifiers but failed to win a title. Plainfield Central and Plainfield North also had three qualifiers; Lincoln-Way East, Minooka and Plainfield South had two apiece; and Joliet West advanced one to state.

McGee recorded a reversal with three seconds left to claim a 4-3 victory in the 106 finals over Joliet West’s Darvell Flagg, a three-time qualifier.

“Making it out of the semis to the finals was good, but I’m glad that I got first so that I can have a better seed next week because that’s important,” said McGee. “I was working on that last move this week, and it ended up paying off.”

Assaf started Lockport’s run of titles when he edged Plainfield Central’s Cody En-

gland, 4-2, in the 113 championship match.

“I didn’t wrestle as good as I wish I would,” Assaf said.

“That kid’s good, and he wrestled well. But I have to wrestle better than that if I want to compete at state.”

Krause didn’t have many difficulties in capturing the 132 title after posting a 7-0 victory over Oswego’s Jack Pradel.

“I really feel like I’m hitting my stride right now,” Krause said. “A lot of things are work-

ing for me, so I’m not really adding anything new – I’m just tweaking what I’m doing. My teammates and I have been rallying behind each other, and we have a good support system going.”

Oster earned his third state trip and second straight sectional title after recording a fall in 5:19 in the 138 finals over Plainfield Central’s Clayton Ledbetter.

“I feel pretty ready for the state tournament,” Oster said.

“Winning sectionals helps to get you seeded, and it also helps your confidence since you know that you’re looking good going into it. I’ve had a lot of success lately, so hopefully I can keep that going.”

Oughton won his second sectional and earned his third state trip after getting a takedown and nearfall with 30 seconds left in a 6-4 win over O’Fallon’s Keajion Jennings at 170.

“Getting a big win here sets

your mindset for next week,” Oughton said. “I won at 145 when I was a freshman and fell short last year and came back strong this year. I’m peaking at the right time and have a good mindset. I’ll try to stay focused and get a bracket board.”

Tyler Johnson captured his second straight sectional and heads to state for a third time after claiming a 6-3 win over Plainfield South’s Danny Saracco in the 195 finals.

“I feel good and feel fresh,” Johnson said. “I had a little mental block with my moves and wasn’t trusting myself.

But now I’m like, whatever happens, happens – and I’m not going to be the state champ without taking risks. So now I’m doing it, and it’s looking good.”

A n d E r i c J o h n s o n r ecorded a fall in 3:38 to defeat Yorkville’s Will Ferguson in the 220 championship match.

“This really is pretty cool,” Johnson said. “I’ve made a good improvement from last year to this year. My coaches and teammates have really helped me to improve my skills. This was the fourth time I’ve wrestled him, and he’s good. I was happy that I finally pinned him.”

Other local individuals who dropped title matches were Lincoln-Way Central’s Vinnie Piunti (120), Lockport’s Trevell Timmons (152), Lincoln-Way Central’s Jake Dudeck (182) and Plainfield North’s Nick Wolf (285).

Piunti fell, 9-4, to Oswego’s Andrew McFall at 120, and Dudeck dropped a 5-0 decision at 182 to Bradley-Bourbonnais’ Mason Delong. Timmons lost to Alton’s Nicholas DeLoach, 7-4, at 152, while Wolf got pinned in 2:31 by Belleville West’s Ricky Nelson at 285.

Finishing in third place were Lincoln-Way Central’s Matt Crnich (126) and Bryan Ditchman (285), Plainfield North’s Marcus Povlick (106) and Plainfield East’s Jake Mayon (182).

Plainfield Central’s Jared Ellingwood (132), Lincoln-Way East’s Brian Burns (170), Minooka’s Josh Bouie (195) and Lockport’s Chris Murino (220) all took fourth place.

When fun-loving Mark Grant cries, it usually is because he is laughing so hard.

On Thursday night, however, Joliet Catholic athletic director and football coach Dan Sharp – the chairman of the JCA Hall of Champions committee – brought Grant to tears for another reason.

Grant, the former major league pitcher and current color commentator in the San Diego Padres’ TV booth, was among them. Overcome with emotion, he put his hand over his face to hide and wipe away tears. He called it “obviously the best honor I have received in my life.”

Also to be inducted with him Sept. 5 are fellow 1981 Joliet Catholic graduate and national sportscaster Terry Gannon, former All-Pro fullback Mike Alstott, ex-NFL player Elmer “Tippy” Madarik and volleyball standout Liz Tortorello-Nelson.

GIRLS BOWLING: PLAINFIELD CENTRAL SECTIONAL

Joliet West hangs on, rolls back to state

By DICK GOSS dgoss@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – The Joliet West girls are returning to the State Bowling Tournament.

And it’s all because, when the chips were down, each of the Tigers did her job.

West rolled a 953 in Game 6 Saturday to hold off Morris’ comeback bid at the Plainfield Central Sectional and retain the fourth and final qualifying spot for next weekend’s state finals at Cherry Bowl in Rockford.

Morris had games of 946 and 982 in the afternoon to climb back within 38 pins of the Tigers with one game remaining. The Redskins would have been even closer had West junior Gracie Plese not delivered a 257 in Game 5.

Plese then rolled 207 in Game 6, followed by teammates Taylor Bailey at 192, Melissa March 188, Sarah Heffron 186 and Kayla Kurowski 180. That was good enough to beat Morris, which shot 927 in

Game 6, by 64 pins for the final spot at Plainfield Lanes.

“This is amazing,” said Plese, a regular in the West lineup a year ago, when the Tigers finished 10th in the state.

“I never really doubted that we would do it, but we had to play a little catch-up. We’ve been kind of a ladder team. We start at the bottom sometime and climb our way up.”

Oswego East was the sectional champion with a 6,088 total, followed by Waubonsie Valley at 5,844, West Aurora at 5,744 and Joliet West at 5,704.

Morris finished at 5,640. Oswego (5,618) and East Moline (5,610) were right behind the Redskins in sixth and seventh place. Plainfield South, which was in the hunt after Game 4, wound up ninth at 5,479, and Minooka was 10th at 5,455 in the 12-team field.

Plainfield South junior Paige Kwiatkowski led individual state qualifiers and was the only Joliet-area individual qualifier, with a 1,269 total, good for third overall. Oswego

East junior Abby Ragsdale easily was the individual champion with a 1,434 total.

“It was pretty nerve-racking,” Kwiatkowski said. “It was pretty exciting when I found out I made it to state.”

Bailey finished at 1,232, a 205.3 average, to finish ninth and lead West. Plese shot 1,215 for 11th place. March shot 1,201, Heffron 1,066 and Kurowski 985.

“That was our goal, to get to state,” Bailey said. “We lost our momentum in the fourth game, but then we had our greatest comeback the last two games.

“All that mattered was the team. We don’t care what we bowl individually. We had all five contributing today.”

“I’m exhausted,” said West coach Jeff Bailey, who might have worn out a pair of shoes with all the pacing he did during the afternoon session.

“Taylor [Bailey] carried us a little in the morning; and after she struggled all morning and lost it a little in Game 4,

Gracie [Plese] really picked it up in Game 5 with the 257. It was nice to see her keep her composure like that.”

Taylor Warwick led Morris with an 1,190 total, including a 269 in Game 5 that helped the Redskins apply pressure to West. Other Morris scores were Jessica Winter 1,156, Jordan Tiritilli 1,143, Madison Colasanti 1,078 and Amy Waldron 1,073.

“We had a good afternoon, but we did not bowl well this morning,” Redskins coach Harry Banks said. “We bowled well the last two or three weeks and good this afternoon, which is what you want. If we had bowled better this morning, we would have gotten out. But this is a tough sectional. There were lots of good teams.”

Supporting Kwiatkowski for Plainfield South were Caitlyn Morris at 1,168, Cassie Bucaro at 1,121 and Kylie Melton at 990. Sabrina Smith bowled five games and had a 211 in Game 4.

“We had a 995 game right

after lunch and were only 88 pins away [from Joliet West for the final qualifying spot] at that point. That was amazing.

Sabrina’s 211 game was huge.”

Minooka came in hoping to advance to state for a sixth straight year but had an off day.

“It didn’t work out,” Indians coach Frank Yudzentis said. “That’s part of sports. We dug ourselves a big hole in the morning.

“I feel bad for our seniors, Kortney Sickler [who tied Plainfield North’s Rileigh Fagan for 12th at 1,205], Lexi Jones [1,135] and Heather McCubbin [984], and all our other girls. We had a great team most of the year.”

Nora Russell shot 1,066 and Carmella Russell 1,063 for the Indians. Other area individual scores were Nadine Krasauskis, Plainfield North, 1,054; Samantha Asztalos, Plainfield Central, 981; Hayley Magruder, Joliet Central, 975; and Kristin Ruzicka, Plainfield East, 902.

GIRLS BOWLING: LOCKPORT SECTIONAL

Champion Lockport, LWW qualify for state

By KAITLYN JASNICA kjasnica@shawmedia.com LOCKPORT – If anyone wondered why Lockport is the top-ranked girls bowling team in Illinois, all they needed to do was watch the Lockport Sectional.

The Porters rolled a 1,150 in the first game and three other 1,000-plus games at Strike & Spare II on Saturday. Not only did Lockport beat second-place T.F. South by 640 pins, the Porters rolled a 6,372, the second-best, six-game series in school history.

Three Lockport bowlers finished in the top four, with Kierstin Vandenburg first (1,343), 10 pins ahead of second-place finisher and individual state qualifier Felicia Montecinos (Bolingbrook, 1,333). Nikki Mendez finished third (1,321) and Danielle Mensik fourth (1,285) overall.

“Kierstin today, this was the best six-game series that she’s had,” Lockport coach Art Cwudzinski said. “She’s been working very hard and has improved her spare shooting.

Nikki [Mendez] has been our steadiest bowler all year. She’s medaled every tournament where she’s bowled all six games. And Danielle [Mensik] has been coming on the last four weeks. They say that your stars have to perform well, and they’ve been doing it.”

The threesome helped Lockport dominate, and Bailey Delrose (1,240, ninth) and Paige Reiter (1,183, 18th) also finished in the top 20. It’s hard to find a weak point in the Porters’ lineup.

According to Vandenburg and Mendez, the team members push each other. Their positive attitude helps the Porters focus on each game and not on where they stand individually or as a

team.

“We don’t know how far ahead we are, ever,” Vandenburg said. “We could be in fifth place, sixth place, dead dirt, and we still have the same positive mentality. Not knowing how far ahead you are helps you stay positive and stay focused on your goal.”

While the Porters didn’t know where they were in standings, they did not have to worry about making state. A few lanes away, Lincoln-Way West battled to qualify, and Lemont’s Kyra Udziela fought to make it as an individual.

The Warriors were in fourth place entering the final game, 91 pins ahead of Richards.

Then West rolled an 807 sixth game and had to wait to see if that was enough to qualify.

Either Maryssa Meskill from Reavis or West’s Jessica Schram would be called as an individual qualifier, meaning

their team placed fifth.

Meskill’s name was called as the fourth qualifier, and Lemont’s Udziela’s (1,208) was the last qualifier. The Warriors (5,510) were able to celebrate their state-qualifying finish.

“It’s awesome to make it as a team,” said Schram, who finished sixth with a 1,261. “My cousin, David Eggert, went as an individual for boys this year. Afterward, he said it was so different without the team.

He said that he really wanted to go as a team next year and he was going to push them to do that.

“After he said that, I realized how much I really wanted my team to go. I’ve always wanted that, and I knew that we had the potential all year.

I’m really proud of all of the girls for working so hard.”

West is a young team, comprised mostly of juniors and no seniors. Schram said making

state itself is a great accomplishment and it will be a learning experience for the team.

As for Lockport, there are two seniors – Vandenburg and Mensik – who have had the state experience, and some won’t deny that they want it all.

“I feel that we can go down there and compete,” Cwudzinski said. “I think that we can bowl with anybody. It comes down to breaks and spare shooting. We’re going to hit the pocket, I believe, and hopefully we carry and pick our spares up, bowl with confidence and we’ll be fine. If we bowl like we have the past two weeks, I’ll be happy.”

“I dream about it [winning state],” Mendez said. “That’s my goal. I really want us to do it because I know we can. It’s not a false dream.”

Lemont finished eighth (5,157), Lincoln-Way Central ninth (5,130).

BOYS BASKETBALL: HOMEWOOD-FLOSSMOOR 43, JOLIET CENTRAL 35

JOLIET – His wish list can be boiled down to one reasonable request.

“It would be nice to have one or two chances to play with our full squad before we get to the tournament,” Joliet Central coach Jeff Corcoran said after Friday night’s 43-35 SouthWest Suburban Blue loss to Homewood-Flossmoor.

“Not that I’m saying we would make a big run or anything, but just to see what we’ve got when we have everybody.”

The Steelmen (11-11, 4-7) got off to a quick start to the season; but since the McDipper Christmas tournament, they have been without junior guard Taquan Sims because of an injury and a violation of a team rule.

On Friday night, senior guard Jerry Gillespie – the season scoring leader – sat with a slight meniscus tear in his left knee. Senior guard Ternell Jordan did what he could to handle the point against the Vikings’ length and athleticism, and sophomore Jason Bingham Jr. filled in off the bench. But guards of Sims’ and Gillespie’s quality definitely are missed.

Sims will return Friday night for Central’s big game at Joliet West. However, Gillespie may or may not be able to go then.

“Jerry has been playing so well that we don’t want to rush him back,” Corcoran said. “We know he is out at least a week.”

Even though shorthanded, the Steelmen gave conference co-leader H-F (15-7, 10-1) all it wanted. The game was tied at 17 at halftime, and Central still was within 31-28 after three quarters and 37-33 midway through the fourth quarter as half-court pressure and a 2-3 zone limited the Vikings’ attack.

“We saw a lot about H-F on film,” Corcoran said. “Brian [Koehne, Central’s assistant coach] did a great job game-planning our defense.

We’ve been putting ourselves in position to win.”

However, missed oppor-

tunities on the offensive end again proved too much to overcome for Central, which shot 30 percent on 15 of 50.

“That’s been the common theme in this seven-game stretch,” Corcoran said.

“We’re not getting the ball in the basket. Someone has to step up and lead us in that regard. There are no excuses.

This is varsity basketball.”

Kewon Ware, who finished with 13 points, started off hot for Central, scoring eight points, including two 3-pointers, in the first quarter. His second 3 made it 13-7 Steelmen, but H-F scored four straight points to get within 13-11 at the quarter break.

“If we had Jerry [Gillespie], I think we would have come closer or even won,” Ware said. “He makes a big difference. He can score at any time.

“I thought Ternell [Jordan] stepped up and Darius Stokes

stepped in and started, and he was big for us. We were on top a lot again tonight, but we can’t seem to finish in the fourth quarter.”

Ware said Central’s size disadvantage was not the difference. The Steelmen outrebounded the Vikings, 34-32, as Malik Fuller grabbed 11 boards to go with six points “To me, size doesn’t matter,” Ware said. “It all comes down to heart.

“I’m looking forward to getting TQ [Sims] back. He can handle the ball in tough situations. I hope Jerry is back soon, too. I can handle the ball, but I really don’t like doing it.

I prefer our point guards handling it.”

The top two point guards could return against Joliet West. At least one of them will.

“All programs go through injuries and other things, so that’s not unique to us,”

Corcoran said. “But it’s been since the day after Christmas since we were at full strength.

It sure would be nice to get one or two chances with a full

squad.”

Central’s sophomores rallied back from a large deficit in the second half but fell, 3835.

BOYS BASKETBALL: PLAINFIELD NORTH 68, PLAINFIELD CENTRAL 40

Plainfield North rolls past Plainfield Central

By CURT HERRON cherron@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – When a team likes to get up and down the court, its play on defense is a big part of its offensive success.

Plainfield North’s boys basketball team demonstrated that in Friday’s Southwest Prairie Conference game at Plainfield Central, as the havoc it created defensively led to plenty of scoring off transition.

Unlike the teams’ previous meeting – when the Wildcats fought back from a big deficit to make a game of it despite being short-handed – there was no late drama this time as the Tigers rolled to a 68-40 victory, their 10th win in the last 11 games.

Kevin Krieger and Trevor Stumpe paced the Tigers (18-4, 9-2), alone in first place in the SPC after Romeoville’s victory over Oswego, by scoring 23 points each. Krieger (five rebounds) had 18 in the first half, while Stumpe tossed in 15 after the break.

“We were really happy with our defensive intensity,” Tigers coach Bob Krahulik said.

“We’ve been playing a lot better defensively the last three or four weeks, except for the

Minooka game. And it’s leading a lot to transition, and we’re really good in transition.

We had a lot of textbook fast breaks tonight because of our defensive pressure.

“We’ve been doing a lot better job of ball penetration, and we’re also doing a lot better job of helping and then dropping to the level of the ball.

We’ve got some shot blockers who can erase it when you go to the hole. If we can continue to play defense like that, it will lead to transition; and if it doesn’t, we’re still doing a lot better job of moving the ball as well.”

North jumped to a 21-14 lead after one quarter, with Krieger scoring 10 points. After the Wildcats (7-16, 3-8) closed to within 23-18, the Tigers went on a 10-1 run, with Krieger adding eight more points to help them take a 33-22 halftime lead.

“We’re focusing more on getting in the passing lanes and getting steals and rebounds and then outlets and quick shots, and that’s how I scored most of my points,” Krieger said. “Our length helps us a lot, and we have good shooters as well, so it helps when we drive to kick it out to the open man. We knew that it was going to be a rough

Stumpe and teammate Kevin Krieger each scored 23 points in their win Friday night over Plainfield Central. game since we hadn’t won here in the last few years, so we knew that we had to win it on the defensive end.”

North continued to click in the third quarter when it used a 12-0 spurt – with 10 points from Stumpe – to grab a 50-26 lead that grew to 59-31 entering the final quarter. The Tigers also got six points from Jake

Nowak, five from Mark Winston and four from Kyle Speas and six rebounds from Cody Conway.

“We want to be a good defensive team before offense because we know that our offense is going to come,” Winston said. “We get rebounds and get it out for the fast-break points since we can beat the

other team down the court.

Our coach tells us to be in the passing lanes to cause deflections, and we’ve got big guys that can move as well, and that helps.”

Central was led by nine points from Robbie Brooks, who didn’t play in the earlier game. Chris Bowitz added seven, while Logan Ivy (five rebounds), Jamal Harmon (five rebounds), Justin Windt and Ray White all scored five.

While Wildcats coach Steve Lamberti was disappointed with the outcome, he knew North had a lot to do with that.

He likes how his team has been playing of late and expects it to bounce back.

“We weathered the storm a little bit in the first half, or it could have been a lot uglier,” Lamberti said. “Our guys fought, and we won the last portion of the second quarter and kept it manageable.

“But they’re a good basketball team – and you have to play a good game, and we didn’t. They put a run on us in the third quarter, and we didn’t recover. Everybody, from the coaches down, has to find ways to be better. We’re angry and frustrated, but we’ll come back in the next few days with a better practice plan and effort.”

BOYS BASKETBALL: PLAINFIELD EAST 77, PLAINFIELD SOUTH 44

Jordan, Plainfield East explode past South

By SCOTT EHLING Shaw Media Correspondent PLAINFIELD – A little redemption can go a long way.

After a tough Southwest Prairie loss to Plainfield North last week, Plainfield East coach Branden Adkins’ team came out focused and with a purpose Friday night as it turned a five-point halftime lead into a 77-44 dismantling of Plainfield South.

Senior guard Aaron Jordan led the Bengals with a gamehigh 26 points on 10 of 19 shooting. Elyjah Goss added 12 and James Claar 10. The Bengals forced South into 26 turnovers

and held the Cougars to 16 second-half points. Senior forward Shane Ritter led the Cougars with 12 points, hitting 4 of 5 3-pointers.

“I thought putting our bigs in the lane caused them to struggle to score points and forced them into some poor passes,” Adkins said. “We were not positioned very well before that, but then we started scoring some baskets and had some confidence.”

East (13-9, 8-3) could not have started the game better, jumping to a 10-0 lead capped by a pair of free throws by Wynston Wright (seven points) with 4:41 left in the opening

quarter. Ritter brought the Cougars back with a 3-pointer at the first-quarter buzzer that made it 19-12.

The Cougars went on a 10-4 run during the first three minutes of the second quarter and cut the deficit to 2322 after a rebound basket by Jonathan Allison (six points).

However, East pushed the lead back to 33-25 on a Jordan 3-pointer in the final seconds of the first half. Ritter again drained a long-distance 3 at the buzzer to trim the deficit to 33-28.

The Bengals were 14 of 32 (.437) from the floor, 5 of 8 from 3-point range and committed

two turnovers in the first half.

Plainfield South (8-16, 5-6) shot .500 on 11 of 22 in the first half but turned the ball over nine times.

“We know we lost last week, and we knew that we lost to them (South) the last time we played; but we knew that we could beat them, and so we came out with a lot of energy – and that is what got it done,” Jordan said.

East turned up the pressure in the third quarter, forcing South to miss its first three shots, then forcing three consecutive turnovers. Jordan’s three-point play made it 43-29 East with 3:39 left in the third

quarter.

Later, a Jordan dunk off a Cougars turnover capped a 16-1 East run that extended the lead to 49-29 with 2:27 remaining in the third quarter, and the Bengals never looked back.

“Playing good defense will get you extra points,” Jordan said. “This is definitely a confidence boost going into Oswego next week, since we lost to them the first time.”

“Our guys battled back from being down 10 early, and then we gave up a 16-point run,” South coach Tim Boe said. “You can come back from one, but both is just tough..”

4th-quarter turnovers doom Lincoln-Way West

By DRAKE SKLEBA Shaw Media Correspondent NEW LENOX – When Lincoln-Way West sophomore guard Marco Pettinato’s buzzer-beating 3-pointer gave the Warriors a 39-37 lead after three quarters, the raucous Warriors student section was in a frenzy.

Behind Pettinato and senior Craig Majcher (nine points), the Warriors erased a 26-19 halftime deficit to take a two-point lead over Thornton in the huge SouthWest Suburban Red showdown Friday night.

But Thornton (18-3, 10-1) – led by Sam Taylor III (eight points, three steals) and Keondre Woods (23 points, three steals) – outscored West, 17-7, in the final quarter to win, 5446. The tenacious Wildcat defense forced eight Warrior turnovers in the fourth quarter, 23 in tall.

Thornton remains atop the SWSC Red. Lincoln-Way West (16-5, 8-3) falls two games behind with three to go.

Taylor scored the first four points of the fourth quarter to give the Wildcats a 41-39 lead they would not relinquish. After Anthony Marotta’s second 3-pointer of the game pulled the Warriors within 44-42,

“If we are to do anything in the upcoming state tournament, we will have to overcome outstanding defensive teams like Thornton.”

Marco Pettinato Lincoln-Way West guard Taylor struck again for a 46-42 Wildcat lead with 3:50 left.

Pettinato answered with a driving lay-in, only to have Woods put Thornton up, 48-44, on a put-back with 2:05 left.

Pettinato scored to make it 48-46 with 1:47 left, but West would not score again.

“Thornton is a very good team, and they were well-prepared for us,” Pettinato said.

“They played very well defensively. With Jon [Marotta] in foul trouble, I had to step it up.

I had a good second half, but I missed some free throws and some open looks that I should have made.

“We will learn from this loss. If we are to do anything in the upcoming state tournament, we will have to overcome outstanding defensive teams like Thornton. I would

gladly lose tonight and learn a lesson. That will help us win in March.”

Anthony Marotta’s 3-point buzzer-beater tied it at 14 after one quarter. With the score tied at 16, the Wildcats went on a 10-0 run to open their largest lead, 26-16. Thornton led, 26-19, at the half.

West’s 6-foot-6 junior Jon Marotta picked up two first-quarter fouls and did not play in the second quarter. He got a third foul in the opening minutes of the third quarter and not play until the fourth quarter. With 2:18 left in the third quarter, Majcher’s second 3-pointer gave the Warriors a 36-35 lead. Pettinato then struck at the third-quarter buzzer.

“We turned the ball over too much in the fourth quarter,” Majcher said. “Thornton played great defense all night, and we made some crucial, unforced turnovers in the fourth quarter.” “[Jon Marotta’s] foul trouble was a definite key,” coach Brian Flaherty said. “To be without a player of his talents really hurt. Too many turnovers, especially down the stretch in the fourth quarter.

Marco [Pettinato] again is our ultimate Warrior. Nobody plays harder.”

BOYS BASKETBALL: THORNTON 54, LINCOLN-WAY WEST 46

ORLAND PARK – Joliet West senior guard Da’Von Foster’s two free throws in the final minute helped the Tigers clip SouthWest Suburban Blue foe Sandburg, 63-62, in double overtime Friday night.

“I knew I had to make both free throws for us to win the game,” Foster said of his two points, which put Joliet West (11-12, 4-7) ahead with 54 seconds left in the second overtime.

The Eagles (8-14, 4-7) ran the clock down to :10 before calling timeout to set up for their final shot.

Sandburg tried to get the ball to its leading scorer, Niko Kogionis, who scored 24 points, but the Tigers’ defense forced the Eagles’ Peter Paxinos into a longrange air ball as time expired.

“We just had to dig deep and lock down,” Foster said.

That sentiment was shared by 6-foot-5 sophomore Trevian Bell, who led the Tigers with 23 points, 13 rebounds and three blocked shots despite missing three minutes of the second four-minute overtime period because of his calf muscles cramping.

“We are a family regardless of who is on the floor, and we showed that tonight,” Bell said. “Coach [Nick DiForti] said this has to be your best defensive possession of the game.

You can’t let up. You can’t hold back. You have to play them tight, and that’s what we did. We left everything on the floor.”

Bell scored 16 points in the first half as the Tigers

led, 32-25. West opened the lead to 35-25 at the start of the third quarter on a Foster 3-pointer before Sandburg started chipping away.

The Eagles took their first lead of the second half, 52-51, with 1:26 to play in the fourth quarter. A Teddy Kotsogiannis layup made it 54-51 Sandburg with :47 to play. The Tigers’ Michael Ruwoldt responded by burying a 3-pointer with :25 to play to tie it at 54. West had the ball with :03.6 to play, but Bell’s off-balance shot would not fall.

West took a 59-57 lead late into the first overtime before Sandburg’s Sean McShane tied it with a layup with :06 on the clock.

Bell was hammered trying to shoot in the final seconds of the first overtime, but the officials swallowed their whistles.

Ruwoldt finished with 12 points. Foster scored 11 for the Tigers, who had lost to Sandburg, 63-61, in Joliet.

“Our kids were up against a lot due to the absence of some players, but they toughed it out, and I’m really proud of them,” DiForti said.

DiForti praised the efforts of Bell and Foster.

“He is a good player,” DiForti said of Bell. “He’s a sophomore. He’s still learning a lot. But if we need a big play, he comes through.

He’s starting to develop into of the better players in the area.

“If I could have a senior shoot those free throws, it would have been Da’Von for sure. He’s one of our better free-throw shooters.

It could not have happened to a better kid.”

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL: NO. 1 LEWIS 64, MISSOURI S&T 49

MEN’S BASKETBALL: LEWIS 77, MISSOURI S&T 64

Lewis’ fast start erases Jarosz, Lewis sting of first season loss roll to sixth straight win

By DRAKE SKLEBA

Shaw Media Correspondent

ROMEOVILLE – How would they respond?

That was the million-dollar question facing the NCAA Division II top-ranked women’s basketball team, the Lewis Flyers, heading into Saturday’s Great Lakes Valley Conference game against Missouri S&T. After suffering their first defeat Thursday at the hands of 17th-ranked Drury, 75-72, at Neil Carey Arena, how would the Flyers respond? Just fine, as it turned out.

Led by junior Mariyah Brawner-Henley and senior Lexi Grayer, Lewis (24-1,141) jumped to a 29-8 lead in the first 13 minutes and extended it to 41-19 at half en route to a 65-49 victory. Brawner-Henley scored 11 of her team-high 18 points and had five of her game-high 12 rebounds in the first half. Grayer buried her 41st and 42nd 3-pointers and scored eight of her 10 points in the first 20 minutes.

“I was really happy with our fast start,” Grayer said.

“We were a little sloppy in the second half – but a win’s a win,

and we’ll take it.”

The Flyers struggled through another poor-shooting second half (27.6 percent) but held off the Lady Miners (6-17, 2-13) to stay atop the GLVC East. Lewis leads Wisconsin-Parkside (19-5,12-3), which fell, 69-67, at home to Drury, by two games. Lewis travels to Parkside in the final regular-season game Feb. 26.

“Thursday’s loss was a tough one to handle for a number of reasons,” Lewis coach Lisa Carlsen said. “It was very important for us to come out fast today and shake off some of that disappointment. I am happy we did that.”

Five Flyer seniors were honored in pregame Senior Day festivities. Grayer, Jess Reinhart, Kristin Itschner, Nikki Nellen and Angel Brooks have led the Flyers to 94 wins, two GLVC titles and the first USA Today-NCAA Division II women’s No. 1 ranking in school history.

“This group of seniors has done things in their four years that have never been done here,” Carlsen added. “This has been a special group, and we hope this was not their last

game here at Carey Arena and we can send them off the right way here in March as we host the NCAA Division II regional.”

The Miners, led by their sophomore guard Elsie Greenwood (22 points), clawed back within 54-43 with 7:40 left. Flyer junior Jamie Johnson (16 points) highlighted a 6-0 run that extended the lead to 6043 with an acrobatic reverse layup.

Reinhart joined Brawner-Henley with a double-double, 11 points and 12 rebounds.

Itschner had seven points and four rebounds, while Nellen added seven assists to her second-ranked Lewis career total.

“We played good defense in the first half, and there were some things we have to clean up in the second half,” Reinhart said. “It was a great senior day for us. We have been a family here at Lewis for the last four years. We are all best friends.”

“It was a great senior day for me,” Grayer added. “We are a family here at Lewis. This is the best group I could ever play with. I love each and every one of them.”

U. OF ST. FRANCIS BASKETBALL ROUNDUP

USF women pull upset, but men fall SUBMITTED REPORTS HAMMOND, Ind. – A 58-point second-half keyed by seniors Katie Gonnering and Kaitlyn Ray (Lincoln-Way West) resulted in the University of St. Francis women’s basketball team notching its second straight upset victory on the road Saturday, this time knocking off NAIA II No. 13-ranked Purdue Calumet, 91-86, in a Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference South matchup.

On Feb. 4, the Saints stunned Olivet Nazarene, 110-108.

On Saturday, St. Francis (14-14, 10-5) had to rally from a 13-point halftime deficit to overcome Purdue Calumet (19-7, 11-

5). USF chipped away behind Gonnering’s 24 second-half points and 13 from Ray. The Saints made 18 of 32 shots in the second half, including 4 of 6 from 3-point range, and 18 of 22 free throws.

Ray, who had a career-high 22 points, hit six threes six in seven tries. Gonnering had 29 points, nine rebounds and four assists. Christina Ekhomu (Joliet Catholic) added 13 points and Alexis Brown 10.

MEN’S BASKETBALL

Purdue Calumet 74, USF 71: The late-season struggles continued for University of St. Francis, which lost for the third time in four games, all by seven points

or less, when Purdue Calumet knocked off the Saints in a CCAC South contest.

The loss for the NAIA II No. 15-ranked Saints (20-8, 14-3 CCAC) not only shrank their South lead to a half-game over Olivet Nazarene (19-8, 13-3) but also knocked them one game behind Cardinal Stritch (21-7, 15-2) for the best overall conference record with two to play.

Ed Presniakovas (Plainfield South) had a chance to put the Saints ahead by a point with 5 seconds left, but his 3-pointer was short. Ilya Ilyayev paced USF with 26 points on 9 of 13 shooting and 7 of 8 free throws.

Jens Kennedy (Dwight) had 16 points and three blocks.

By TIM CRONIN Shaw Media Correspondent ROMEOVILLE – Now comes the hard part for Lewis’ men’s basketball team.

The Flyers, having disposed of Missouri S&T in Saturday’s home finale, play their last three regular-season games on the road.

Can they take the momentum built in their sixgame winning streak, the latest in the string their 7764 romp over the Miners, on the highway?

“When we get shots, we can beat anybody; but when we don’t, we just have to play defense,” said senior Jeff Jarosz, whose 19 points led everyone.

Defense was the key against the Miners, who were averaging 82 points and were held 18 under that standard. Coupled with Thursday’s 76-52 victory over offensive-minded Drury, it was a solid weekend for the Flyers’ defense.

“There was a stretch early in the year where I don’t know if we were playing well together,” coach Scott Trost said. “Now, the last three-four weeks – even with a couple of those losses – we’ve played better together, looked for the open man, found the open man, made good decisions. We’re trusting each other.”

Missouri S&T was held to 33.9 percent shooting and just 40 percent from inside the arc. Lewis (18-6, 10-5 GLVC) shot .491, dominating inside as usual despite 14 turnovers.

“It was kind of sloppy, but they kind of do that to you,” Trost said. “They don’t let you run a lot of offense; they ugly it up a little bit. But I never felt threatened. We were always in control.”

There wasn’t much doubt about the outcome after a pair of Lewis runs. The first, a 12-2 explosion midway through the first half, boosted the lead to 31-19.

The second, an 8-0 outburst to end the half featuring a pair of free throws by Ryan Jackson after the buzzer and after the Miners left the court, made it 43-24 at intermission. Lewis stretched the lead to 21 points on a couple occasions.

That hole was too deep for the Miners (9-14, 2-13), who lost their 12th game in 13 starts.

Jackson (17 points) and Max Strus (15) also were in double figures for Lewis.

The Flyers finished their home schedule 12-3 in Neil Caray Arena. The focus now shifts to the road stretch in advance of the GLVC playoffs Lewis, 6-3 on the road, starts the trip at Illinois-Springfield on Thursday, is at McKendree on Saturday and finishes the regular season at Wisconsin-Parkside – the lone team of the three to defeat the Flyers – Feb. 26.

“We need all of them to get into position for the NCAA Tournament,” Jarosz said. “Parkside, that’s a big one. They beat us the last three times. They have a dominant big on the inside and know how to move the ball.”

But Trost knows the outcome against Parkside will be moot if the Flyers don’t take care of business before that.

“Our biggest game of the year is Thursday,” Trost said. “We’ve put ourselves in a situation where all the games matter. If we take care of our business, it doesn’t matter what anybody else does.”

train harder than I ever did.’’

Minnick iced his bruised right wrist after the bout but said he wasn’t worried about the injury.

Coal City’s Corey Jurzak (40-1), a two-time state runner-up, claimed the 132 title by technical fall in 3:59 over Wilmington’s Colin Weis, who was trailing 18-1.

“This is my third time wrestling him this season,’’ Jurzak said. “I kind of know what his offense is and his defense.’’

Riley Kauzlaric (37-5) gave Coal City its fourth sectional champion with a 1:29 pin of Bowen’s Maurice Paino in the 182 final.

“Joey, Cody and Corey and me, we expected big things this season, and we’re producing,’’ Kauzlaric said.

Jake Frost (third at 220) and

Parker Czaja (fourth at 195) also advanced for Coal City.

Wilmington’s sectional champs were Austin Headrick (138), Nick Hawkins (160) and Ryan Berman (195).

Headrick wasn’t bashful about his 3-2, three-overtime decision over Peotone freshman Chandler Gartner.

“I usually win all my overtime matches. I’m better conditioned than most guys,’’ Headrick said. “I like overtime way better than the regular matches. I know I can keep my energy going.’’

Hawkins grabbed a 4-1 lead in the 160 final, fell behind 7-5 in the second period and rallied to go ahead 10-8 before he earned a fall with one second left in the match.

“Can’t panic – patience,’’ Hawkins said of his mindset

when he was losing. “It got me a win.’’

Berman won the 195 final by injury default over Peotone’s Tom Ruffino at the end of the second period.

“I hate to see it end like that,’’ Berman said. “He’s had a torn ACL. He just came down wrong on it. I wish it could have gone the whole time, but a win is a win. I feel like we did really good.’’

Runners-up Joe Mann (170) and Kyal Davis (220), Nick Pretto (third at 152), Kyle Hull (third at 285) and Jake Berman (fourth at 145) also qualified for Wilmington.

Peotone’s other state qualifiers were Chase Emerson (fourth at 113), Liam McLaughlin (fourth at 126), Kyle Jones (fourth at 132) and Nick Goberville (fourth at 152).

BOYS BASKETBALL: JOLIET CATHOLIC 43, MARIST 41

JCA tops ESCC leader Marist in final second

By KAITLYN JASNICA kjasnica@shawmedia.com

JOLIET – Good basketball games go down to the final minutes. Great ones go down to the final seconds.

Joliet Catholic’s East Suburban Catholic boys basketball matchup against Marist on Friday went down to the last 0.8 seconds. The victory was more than just good or great for the Hilltoppers as they beat ESCC leader Marist, 43-41.

“We played 32 minutes,” Harold Davis said with a big smile. “It’s our first time ever playing all 32 minutes. We played a full game, and that’s why we won. It’s the best win of the season. We knocked off the No. 1 team. It feels good.”

The junior guard had a good reason to keep smiling.

He hit the game-winning shot.

With the game tied at 41 and :28.5 remaining, JCA started running down the clock. Davis, who scored the last two baskets, hit a jumper near the free-throw line, and the “Hill Zone” fans went crazy.

“I let it come off the wrists, and it felt good,” Davis said.

“It felt good when I shot it, and it went through.”

It also must have felt relieving. After starting the fourth quarter ahead, 32-29, JCA lost momentum. Marist went on a 7-0 run to go up, 36-32. With 3:34 remaining, junior guard Jalen Jackson stepped to the free-throw line and sank both shots, making it 36-34.

Less than 30 seconds later, Drake Fellows hit a 3-pointer, tying the score at 37 and nudging everyone in the gym to the edges of their seats. The

“We came in as underdogs – I love being the underdog. This was a big confidence booster.”

Jalen Jackson Joliet Catholic senior guard crowd gave the Hilltoppers momentum, and late-game defense proved critical as the teams battled back and forth.

While Davis and Fellows delivered in the clutch for JCA (14-12, 3-4), Jackson led the Hilltoppers with 16 points. He hit all five of his free throws, went 4 for 7 from the field and had five rebounds.

When Marist’s defense tried to contain him, other Hilltoppers stepped up.

“They [Marist] were really trying to pressure me, so my teammates really helped me out by getting open, hitting open shots, crashing the boards and finishing layups,” Jackson said. “Everything helped me out. By them doing all of that, that got me open, and I hit my shots.”

Jared Lenoir contributed four points and four rebounds, while Pete Ragen hit a 3-pointer and had five rebounds. Luke Mander made a free throw and added three rebounds.

Fellows, who scored seven of his 10 points in the first quarter, played a big role on the offensive and defensive ends. The 6-foot-5 junior grabbed six of Joliet Catholic’s 27 rebounds and was a threat inside and from the 3-point line.

The Hilltoppers hope to transfer the momentum gained from this victory to the rest of the season and upcoming regional. This team has a chance to be the school’s first in almost 35 years to finish above .500.

“We’re coming off a strong tournament last year, so we’re going to try and make a statement again,” Fellows said.

“Coming off a big win against Marist and a couple of strong games against St. Viator and other teams, we’re feeling confident going into regionals.”

“We came in as underdogs – I love being the underdog.

This was a big confidence booster,” Jackson said. “Now we know that we can basically play against anyone because we just beat the top team in our conference. We have full confidence against anyone.”

WILMINGTON – Smiles were abundant among the Coal City and Wilmington wrestlers Saturday as they posed for team pictures after the Class 1A sectional hosted by the Wildcats.

Coal City had four champions among the six who will advance to the state tournament, while Wilmington earned three sectional titles among the nine Wildcats who will move on in the individual competition.

Peotone didn’t claim any sectional championships, but six Blue Devils finished in the top four of their weight classes to earn spots in the state tournament, which will be Thursday through Saturday in Champaign.

Joey Rivera (39-4) got Coal City rolling when he pinned Immaculate Conception’s Joe Bianchini in 51 seconds to win at 106 pounds.

“I ended up getting him in a cradle and just finished it from there,” Rivera said. “I know we’re all going to have hard matches in the finals, so you’ve got to get the team off to a good start and get some momentum.’’

Coal City’s Cody Minnick (44-1), the defending state champ at 113, had a 22-6 lead in the 120 final when he earned a technical fall in 5:43.

“Just went out there determined to put a bunch of points on the board,’’ Minnick said.

BEARS ANALYSIS

Safety spot due for an overhaul McCourty could be available if Patriots don’t apply the franchise tag

By KEVIN FISHBAIN kfishbain@chicagofootball.com

With a new GM and head coach, and plenty of questions about which players are returning, the Bears’ organization is difficult to Ryan Mundy gauge when it comes to adding free agents, and how much the team will be willing to spend.

We know GM Ryan Brock Vereen Pace believes in building through the draft, but you can count on some free-agent additions when it all begins on March 10. We’ll go position-by-position breaking down where the Bears stand, who their options are and whom they could target next month. Today, we analyze the safety position.

Current Bears situation: Are the Bears any better off this offseason than last? At this time last year, Major Wright was heading to free agency and Chris Conte was returning. Now, Conte is heading to free agency, with Ryan Mundy and Brock Vereen set to return.

Mundy has one year left on his contract. He is durable (96 consecutive games played) and tied Kyle Fuller for the team lead in interceptions, but should he be handed a starting spot in the new regime? As someone who was a No. 3 safety before 2013, he may be looking at returning to a similar role based on what the Bears do this offseason. Vereen’s highlights came when he played a de-facto corner role, and he made up for a missed play in Detroit with a forced fumble vs. the Lions at home, but didn’t show nearly enough to think he’s a longterm starting option.

More online This is the ninth in a series of stories about the Bears’ free-agent options. Follow the series online at ChicagoFootball.com.

Today: Safeties It’s another year that the safety spots are due for an overhaul.

Dream on: If the Patriots don’t put the franchise tag on Devin McCourty, allowing the former first-round, converted corner to hit free agency, that’s where the Bears should spend their money. They chose against going after T.J. Ward and Jai-

rus Byrd, but with a new GM and head coach (who played safety), do the Bears finally start investing heavily in the position?

McCourty has good speed and cover skills, is 27 with a winning pedigree from New England, but it’d be a surprise if he hit the open market.

Chicago connections: Two safeties that John Fox drafted his first year in Denver are set to be free agents, Rahim Moore (the first safety drafted in 2011) and Quinton Carter.

Moore just turned 25 and had four interceptions last season. Denver has other options at safety, which could create a chance for Moore and Fox to reunite in Chicago. Better against the pass than the run, Moore could complement Mundy well and would

deserve a multiyear deal.

Carter has battled knee injuries since a solid rookie season, missing all of 2013 after microfracture surgery.

He has good size (6-foot-1, 200 pounds) but is a one-year, prove-it deal candidate.

If Conte could’ve stayed healthy last season, he would be an option to return. But this new staff has no connection to Conte, who has serious things to consider with his concussion history.

He turns 26 Feb. 23.

Other options: 32-year-old Antrel Rolle wants to be back with the Giants, but he would be a solid stopgap. Outside of Rolle, there are several safeties in their mid-to-late 20s seeking their second NFL contract.

Louis Delmas is coming off a torn ACL, but was a

playmaker in Detroit and Miami. Nate Allen, 27, has 10 career interceptions. Marcus Gilchrist, 26, is a converted slot corner who has started every game the past two seasons – and someone Fox should know from the AFC West.

Two safeties who got significant starting time last year are available – Da’Norris Searcy, 26, who started 13 games last season and had three picks. Quintin Demps is going to be 30 in June and has been on four teams, but he did notch four picks in each of his last two seasons.

LaRon Landry is available now after being released by the Colts. The 30-year-old former top-10 pick has had his play tail off over the years and was suspended four games for PEDs last year.

The ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK – Stephen Curry bested Golden State Warriors teammate Klay Thompson and six others to win his first 3-point contest, and Minnesota’s Zach Lavine put on a spectacular aerial display to take home the dunk competition during All-Star Saturday night.

Curry scored 27 points in the final round. He connected on 13 consecutive shots until missing his final attempt, bringing fans and celebrities roaring to their feet after every swish at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center.

Thompson, who had an opening-round best of 24, scored only 14 points in the final round. Cleveland’s Kyrie Irving finished second with 17 points in the three-man final.

LaVine, the 19-year-old Timberwolves rookie, scored

He had a final round of

94 to overtake Orlando’s Victor Oladipo, who struggled to convert his first attempt and finished with a 72 in the championship round.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – Matt Kenseth, coming off a winless 2014 season, has opened the new year with a victory.

Kenseth won Saturday night’s exhibition Sprint Unlimited, which was a crash-filled kickoff to the NASCAR season for the second consecutive year.

Only 12 of the 25 cars in the field were running at the end of the race, which was stopped twice by red flags for multicar accidents. There were only eight cars running at the end of the 2014 race.

Kenseth, in his third season with Joe Gibbs Racing, had one of the strongest cars in the field and he pulled away on a restart with four laps remaining to claim the win. Now he’s hoping it’s a sign that his Toyota will be a contender in the Feb. 22 season-opening Daytona 500.

Martin Truex Jr., who led just one lap all of last season, led 30 laps but finished second.

PUZZLES CROSSWORD

SUDOKU

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

An entry destroyer for the optimist

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Daniel J. Bernstein, a highly regarded mathematician and computer programmer, said, “The most important function of a bibliographic entry is to help the reader obtain a copy of the cited work.”

The most important function of a bridge entry is to help the declarer or a defender obtain at least one extra trick.

That has been our topic this week.

To end, we have a tough deal for declarer and a possible chance for a defender to be a genius. Can you see the key plays? South is in three no-trump, and West leads the heart queen.

South starts with seven top tricks: one spade, two hearts, two diamonds and two clubs. He might be able to get one more trick from spades if they break 3-3. Aiming instead to get four diamond tricks is more sensible.

But how should declarer handle the diamonds?

It looks natural to cash the king, then to play a diamond to dummy’s jack. That works fine when the suit splits 3-2, but less well here. Now South gets only three diamond tricks and goes down.

The best play for declarer is to lead a low diamond from his hand at trick two and also to play low from the dummy.

When he wins the next trick, he cashes his diamond king, sees the split and knows to finesse dummy’s jack.

Are you thinking that South could cash his diamond king first, then duck a diamond? That will work, but he might fall to a brilliant ruse by West.

On the second diamond, West should play his queen, looking like someone who started with queen-doubleton.

Declarer might carelessly win that trick and fall to defeat.

youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re relaxing. Either is your resting heart rate. For men, resting heart rates are usually between 60 to 80 beats per minute (bpm); for women, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re 70 to 90 bpm.

MAXIMUM HEART RATE: This is an estimate of the highest heart rate a person could reach while exercising very strenuously. The formula for calculating maximum heart rate is 220 bpm minus your age. Remember, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an estimate. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re healthy, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no risk in going above your expected maximum heart rate for short periods of time.

TARGET (OR TRAINING) HEART RATE: This range is 65 percent to 80 percent of your maximum heart rate. (Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve put a table that will let you quickly find your target heart rate on my website, AskDoctorK. com.) To get the most health benefit from your exercise, try to stay in your target heart rate range for at least 20 minutes during an exercise session.

Some medications to treat high blood pressure and heart disease slow the heart rate.

Probably the best examples are beta blocker drugs. Ask your doctor if your medication might affect your target heart rate.

When I began a regular exercise program as a young adult, there was no machine to measure my heartbeat while I exercised.

Today, it is easy to tell how hard your body is working. Just monitor your heart rate.

Dear Doctor K: Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen fitness monitors that track heart rate. Is it important to know your heart rate when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re exercising?

Dear Reader: Whether youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just getting started with an exercise routine or are a committed fitness enthusiast, tracking your heart rate can be helpful. Heart rate monitors â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which instantly tell you how fast your heart is beating â&#x20AC;&#x201C; can help you exercise at the right intensity.

Heart rate monitors worn on the wrist or head track the blood flowing through tiny vessels in your skin. Every time your heart pumps, blood suddenly gets pushed through those vessels. When the heart relaxes, blood flow stops.

Heart rate monitors use an optical sensor to â&#x20AC;&#x153;seeâ&#x20AC;? blood flowing and stopping. From that, they can tell your heart rate.

Basic heart rate monitors show just your heart rate. More advanced ones sound an alarm if your heart rate goes too high or low. (If you want even more data, digital fitness monitors can also track the number of steps you take and calories you burn.)

A heart rate monitor gives you an accurate way to gauge your effort on a day-to-day basis.

This can help ensure youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re exercising hard enough to keep your heart healthy, but not so hard you are putting yourself in danger. The heart likes to work, but not too hard. And it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like not working.

So what should your heart rate be when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re exercising? For that matter, what is a â&#x20AC;&#x153;normalâ&#x20AC;? resting heart rate?

RESTING HEART RATE: This is your heart rate when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re most relaxed. Use your heart rate monitor right after you wake up in the morning, or use it during the day when

Dear Exasperated: My opinion is you should ignore your husband’s nasty comments because he’s acting like an immature, demanding child who needs to grow up and realize the world doesn’t revolve around him.

Dear Abby: My husband has a grandson, “Kyle,” who has been living with us for two years while he earned his bachelor’s degree in college.

However, he is now going for a master’s, and it will be another two years before he graduates.

Kyle works a lot and takes classes, so he is not at our home that much.

However, at age 25, it seems to me he should be out on his own.

Some of Kyle’s uncles are upset that my husband has allowed this to go on so long because their kids never got the same treatment.

But Kyle doesn’t get the support from his parents that he should, and my husband feels sorry for him.

Am I selfish for feeling that my space has been

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips invaded for too long? – Put

Upon in Texas

Dear Put Upon: That you and your husband have chosen to be generous with Kyle should be nobody else’s business.

For the reason you mentioned, Kyle needed a break.

Your husband stepped in and has seen that he got one.

If Kyle were constantly underfoot, I could understand why you might justifiably feel “invaded.”

However, because he isn’t, then yes, I do think your attitude is selfish.

Dear Abby: Once again I have found that one random act of kindness begets another.

Today, I had a hankering for one of those great salads from my favorite fast food chain. It was noon, and the line from the main highway to get into the driveway was long.

When I finally was able to turn in to the ordering section, I noticed a man in his work truck trying to get into the line. We were face-to-face.

I looked back, saw all the cars behind me and knew none of them were going to let him in, so I motioned for him to go ahead of me.

When I reached the window and started to pay for my order, the cashier said, “You are already paid for.” I said, “What?”

The man in front of me had paid for my order.

The message? Be kind – it’s good karma. – Linda

in Orange, Calif.

Dear Linda: I agree. Like a stone thrown into a pond, a good deed can create ripples that extend far beyond the initial splash.

• Sunday, February 15, 2015

Dear Abby: My husband has many wonderful qualities. However, he’s obsessed with my always being instantly available when he calls or texts my cellphone.

I don’t carry it with me every minute of the day.

At work I can be busy taking orders, dealing with clients, having a conference with my boss or using the restroom.

But if I don’t answer, my husband leaves nasty messages asking why I have a phone if I’m not going to pick up or respond to a text.

I always do it as soon as I am able.

I have explained the reality of what I might be involved with when he contacts me.

I have told him his demand that I always be immediately available is selfish, to no avail. What’s your opinion? – Exasper-

Take whatever action is necessary to make the most out of a profitable professional opportunity. Change in your personal life will be enlightening if you embrace and employ what’s offered.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Don’t run from your problems. Opposition will surface if you pretend that nothing is wrong. Face the truth and do what needs to be done to protect your reputation.

You will be given a chance to bring greater security to your personal or professional future.

Be ready to make a quick decision if you want

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Someone’s tendency to be jealous must not be allowed to influence your way of thinking. You can win the support you are looking for if you base your decisions on what you know.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – If you try to move too quickly, mistakes will occur. You can meet your deadlines if you focus on what needs to be done. Love or money woes will distract you.

Distance yourself from discord and have some

fun, and it will help you decide how to deal with personal issues.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – A residential move will spark your imagination. New living arrangements will benefit you in more ways than one. Personal improvements will boost your self-esteem and confidence.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – You will find it difficult to get along with others. Don’t make promises that you don’t want to keep. Find an activity that you can do alone, and avoid a confrontation.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Spend time enjoying the people and events you love the most.

Your hard work has earned you a break. All work and no play will not help you be productive.

FROM ‘WE’ TO ‘ME’

Local residents rebuild their lives after the deaths of their spouses

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

JOLIET – Mary Ann Burns couldn’t wait to show her husband, Jim, their dream townhome.

When Burns was done with the tour, she turned on music and then set the white box that held his ashes on the buffet to await his Feb. 20 interment, the date of his mother’s birthday.

It was a tender moment for Burns, bereavement coordinator at Joliet Area Community Hospice. Jim had entered hospice Sept. 28, the day he and Burns were to close on their newly constructed home.

Jim’s illness – diaphragmatic paralysis – was sudden and unexpected.

Jim died Jan. 17, but the snowy weather delayed his burial. Burns, who has helped hundreds of people journey through grief, is now arranging her possessions in the room that should have been Jim’s study and transitioning from the “we” of 43 years to a life of “just me.”

“Our lives were so entwined together,” Burns said. “It’s a day at a time.”

TAKING STEPS

Former New Lenox Park Commissioner Ed Selvas, who lost his wife, Barbara, in 2011 after 49 years of marriage, agreed rebuilding is a process. He loved Barbara ever since he glimpsed her red hair and freckles, and said he swept that full-blooded Italian lady right off her feet. Their marriage was exceptionally close.

“People said we were attached at the hip,” Selvas said.

They battled cancer together in 2005 – nonHodgkin’s lymphoma (Barbara) and leukemia (Selvas), and Selvas was Barbara’s caretaker during her brain cancer. Today, he maintains the life they had together – attending church, taking annual cruises, and improving the immaculately kept house with new windows, roof and patio.

He also still volunteers, chuckling in memory at Barbara’s mandate, “If you take on one more volunteer project, you’ll have to drop one.” Heeding Barbara’s wish that he not be alone is difficult, but Selvas said he’s trying.

“I’ve done some dating this last year,” Selvas said. “It’s nice to have someone to eat with and have someone to call and say, ‘Hey, I’ve got these tickets to a show.’ ”

STAYING ACTIVE

Keeping occupied is key, said Martha Schoffstoll, of Shorewood. Work-

He resisted suggestions for art therapy, saying “I don’t want to crochet,” until Erwin started making memorial tributes during counseling sessions.

Therapy, Erwin said, enabled him to create a yard others admire, visit nursing homes with his new Shih Tzu named Snuggles and deliver baked goods to cancer patients. It also provided a new network of friends who laugh and cry with him.

Erwin’s advice for the grieving is, “Go to counseling for God sakes and get some therapy.”

“I would tell myself, ‘Take your time, be gentle and it will fall into place eventually,” Noonan said.

NEW LIFE DESPITE SADNESS

That seems to be happening for Myra Stuart, 64, of Joliet. After Bradley, Myra’s husband of 40 years, died last year, she took that trip out west they had planned, presented her 19-year-old grandson with Bradley’s SUV and finally gazed upon Mount Rushmore, as Bradley had once done during a business trip.

At Thanksgiving, Myra continued their tradition of serving dinner to the homeless, except her son and brother carved the turkeys this year, not Bradley. She still takes trips with their friends and finds that if she plans ahead for special days – Christmas, birthdays, anniversaries – the sorrow is easier to manage.

“I’m sad because I miss my husband.

I miss him with every breath,” Myra said. “But I have to live and I’m going to try to make the best life I can for myself.”

is on science curriculum The HERALD-NEWS

NEW LENOX – Lincoln-Way District 210 science curriculum is being revised to meet the new Next Generation Science Standards that are an essential part of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) teaching.

The NGSS standards were adopted by the State of Illinois in February 2014 and must be implemented by the fall of 2016. Fifty teachers participated, representing all of the K-8 schools, with a representative from each building at each grade level plus Lincoln-Way teacher representatives from each high school.

The NGSS partnership came together when District 157C Director of Curriculum & Instruction Janet Goggins

asked District 210 to consider leading the informational sessions.

The sessions would provide input and guidance to the feeder school representatives about the new standards to help create goals and a vision for kindergarten through eighth grade science and to lay a strong foundation in science for high school.

These new standards require each grade level to have some accountability (K-12) in teaching kids across three science domains; engineering practices, science content and crosscutting concept.

In addition to Karla Horn representing West, Lincoln-Way High Schools were represented by Rhonda Starklauf, Central; Beth Swaney, East; and Liz Conroy, North.

Bartlett serves as a multi-state expert witness in blood pattern analysis and interpretation. Bartlett explained how blood behaves, types of blood patterns and how each is created in the commission of crimes and accidents. The presentation included photos of violent crime scenes that contained blood evidence.
