to suspend addiction treatment services

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com

JOLIET – With no end in sight to Illinois’ political gridlock, Stepping Stones – an addiction treatment and recovery center in Joliet – is being forced to suspend much of its state-funded substance abuse treatment programming.

Moving forward, people whose services are funded by the Illinois Department of Human Services and who are seeking intensive residential, intensive outpatient and outpatient treatment will no longer be able to receive services.

“This was a very difficult decision to make,” Peter McLenighan, executive director for Stepping Stones, said Thursday. “We’re worried. We’re concerned and worried for the well-being of these people. This, for us, was the last resort.”

Stepping Stones – which provides services to more than 650 people annually for alcohol and substance abuse treatment – has not been paid by the state for services provided after July 1 or reimbursed through general revenue funds from IDHS or the Illinois Department of Corrections.

To maintain overall service levels and prevent workforce reductions, Stepping Stones will attempt to serve more people with Medicaid and private insurance, McLenighan said. For the time being, extended residential care and recovery home services will continue to be provided without interruption, including for state-funded patients.

Working with a deficit

During the course of the state’s monthslong budget impasse, treatment centers such as Stepping Stones have found themselves under unprecedented pressure to stay open in spite of lack of state payments. Stepping Stones has tried to maintain service levels by operating on a deficit budget with the hopes the state eventually would reimburse the center, McLenighan said.

He said the center, which has an operating budget of just less than $2.3 million, is owed at least $310,000 – about $170,000 from IDHS and $140,000 from IDOC – for services beyond July 1.

The center has exhausted its line of

About 160 people received treatment at Stepping Stones through DHS in fiscal 2015, according to the latest figures available. Just fewer than 280 were served through Medicaid or Medicaid-managed care that same year, while 92 were served through private insurance and 64 through IDOC. Those affected by the change will be given information about other treatment providers, McLenighan said, adding that he is unsure about the availability of services elsewhere.

They also will be assisted to connect with a health care navigator for Medic-

aid or private insurance enrollment. In the meantime, those seeking addiction treatment are encouraged to attend the center’s free support group while waiting for their Medicaid or private insurance to be approved.

The news of Stepping Stones suspending services comes just one day after Gov. Bruce Rauner gave his budget proposal for next year, which calls for about $36.3 billion in spending. The state is expected to bring in $32.8 billion in revenue.

Since fiscal 2008, state funding for Stepping Stones has dropped from $1.2 million to about $970,000 in fiscal 2014, according to data from the nonprofit.

Will County Executive Larry Walsh Sr. said it is “a sad, sad situation” for people who critically need help battling addiction.

“How many citizens have the capability to have private insurance? They are in a difficult stage of their life,” Walsh Sr. said. “They are addicted, and most likely do not have an insurance policy or a job, but God bless them if they are looking for services to help them break the addiction.”

Local administrators say they are baffled, shocked by Flint crisis

By BOB OKON

bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The mechanism looks simple enough – a metal tank with plastic tubes showing a liquid mixture passing through, for purposes most people never would realize.

“We spend about $100,000 a year on it,” said Nicholas Gornick, the plant operations superintendent who oversees Joliet’s 11 water treatment plants.

The $100,000 goes for the blended phosphate product added to Joliet water to prevent lead in old pipes from getting into the water – the sort of thing that led to the water catastrophe in Flint, Michigan, that has gained global More attention. online Gornick shakes his head when talking about Flint, saying people in the business of delivering public water find it hard to understand how safeVisit this guards and regulaarticle at TheHe- tions could have been rald-News.com b y p a s s e d t o m a k e such a situation posfor a video tour of a Joliet water sible.

“We have to take 25 samples throughout the distribution system of phosphate residual,” Gornick said.

“The residual is what we want to go out to the customers. We go out four times a year to collect these samples to make sure we’re hitting our targets. The operators are doing it daily at every plant to make sure each plant is meeting the desired dose.”

Joliet and many cities in the 1930s stopped using lead for the service lines that bring water from the mains to people’s homes, Gornick said. But cities

Joliet also takes samples from at least 50 homes every three years to look for signs of lead or copper in the water. The city takes water samples from another 120 locations every month to check for bacteria.

The water department also has a control room with a computer system that gives constant readings on levels of blended phosphate, chlorine and other additives used to ensure the safety of water going through the city’s water mains. An alarm goes off if a problem develops.

Plainfield student aims for success via archery

By FELIX SARVER

fsarver@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – Archery looked cool to Dana Janiec, so she decided to give a shot.

Her interest in the sport was spurred mostly by watching characters shoot arrows in movies such as Pixar’s “Brave,” “The Hunger Games” and Marvel’s “The Avengers,” she said. She took up the sport at age 8.

“I think it was mostly because it was not the most common sport,” Janiec said.

Her picking archery was a surprise to her parents, Jeff More and Lori Janiec. Their daughter showed comonline mitment to the sport over the years, and since then she has won several awards, including winning in her age division for the Illinois Junior Olympic Archery To view a Development indoor video of Dana compound bow compeJaniec practictition Jan. 16. ing, visit this Archery is not as article at Theeasy as it looks.

Herald-News.

“It’s one of those com. sports that looks easy to do until you learn everything about it,” said Greg Semaan, head coach for Mission JOAD, an archery team based in Shorewood.

Janiec is a member of the team, which Semaan said is one of the largest in the state. On Thursday, she practiced with other team members at Strictly Archery in Shorewood, shooting arrows at a 20-meter distance.

Dana Janiec prepares to shoot an arrow Thursday at Strictly Archery in Shorewood.

When Janiec was using a bow for the first time, she said she wanted to get used to it and build up more strength. She said when an archer is outside, there is a lot of wind, so they need to make sure they are stable, otherwise the bow will move around.

Janiec said when she is shooting arrows, she blocks everything out.

“I don’t really hear a lot of things when I’m shooting, because that’s what our coaches are trying to teach us right now is just zone in and not to

worry about other things outside, like talking and wind,” she said.

Semaan said archery is a team sport but also an individual sport that requires focus and patience.

Janiec said she practices five to six days a week. The more she practices, the more she improves her form, she said.

The discipline and focus developed through archery has helped Janiec become a better student at school. She is on the high honor roll at Heritage Grove Middle School, according to a

Plainfield School District 202 news release.

“With archery, I’ve definitely matured a lot more,” she said.

When Janiec first started using a bow, Lori Janiec said she practiced without her parents asking her, and that’s when they realized she was interested in the sport.

“When she shot with a real bow, you could see the light in her eyes,” Lori Janiec said. “She’s very fortunate to have found her passion. She’s good at it.”

D-202 support staff union to rally vs. potential outsourcing

By FELIX SARVER

fsarver@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – A Plainfield School District 202 support staff union plans to rally against potential outsourcing.

From February to May, the Plainfield Association of Support Staff plans to rally and pack District 202 board meetings to fight outsourcing, according to a flier sent Wednesday by Ann Bachman-McIntosh, Illinois Education Association UniServ director.

The first rally will take place at 5:45 p.m. Monday at the district administrative center before a board meeting. “[The custodians] live in the community, their children go to these

schools. Many of them have worked for the school district for a number of years. ... It came as a complete surprise,” said Bachman-McIntosh. “We are rallying to let the school board know this is not acceptable.”

District 202 officials announced Feb. 12 that they were considering outsourcing custodial services to more effectively manage finances “in light of the state’s unpredictable and inadequate public education funding.”

District 202 officials have stated they tentatively plan to solicit bids for custodial services on or about March 8, and the board would publicly review and consider bids at its April 11 meeting.

The PASS flier stated that outsourc-

ing reduces local control, the savings from it will not be realized, and the current system guarantees that all safety records, background checks, incident reports, parental concerns and employee personnel records are maintained by the administration and school board.

Tom Hernandez, District 202 spokesman, stated via email that many points in the flier are subject to negotiations or may be addressed in the planned bid speculatives. Nothing has been publicly discussed or decided, he stated.

“The board is simply researching an option that may save District 202 taxpayers a significant amount

of money. Therefore, most of these points are simple conjecture, at best,” he stated.

In response to safety concerns raised by PASS, Hernandez stated that all employees – including those who may work for private vendors – who are in regular, direct contact with students must undergo a criminal background check by law.

“As we said in our initial release, District 202 has been contracting its food service and transportation services for more than 20 years. All of those employees are subject to this condition of employment, and so will be anyone who may be hired through a private custodial service,” he stated.

Thompson found guilty in 2013 murder at Joliet eatery

By BRIAN STANLEY

bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – “Little” will be doing a lot of time.

Christopher L. Thompson, 33, will be sentenced to at least 45 years in prison after a jury Thursday – having deliberated for nearly five hours – found him guilty of the murder of Gerardo Franchini.

On Aug. 3, 2013, Franchini was eating breakfast with his wife, Edna Franchini, and her young daughter and niece at Louis’ Family Restaurant, 1001 W. Jefferson St., when Thompson came in with a girlfriend, Tuesday Christopher Henderson.

L. Thompson The two men had mutual friends, and Thompson told police his cousin has a child with Edna Franchini, but they did not get along.

Gerardo Franchini was knocked out

by Thompson during a fight outside Hollywood Casino months before, and Gerardo Franchini and his brother attacked Thompson in the bathroom at Grapevine the previous month, according to prosecutors.

On Aug. 3, Thompson and Gerardo

Franchini argued in the restaurant, and Thompson left the building. About 15 minutes later, a man covering his face came into the restaurant, walked to where Gerardo Franchini was sitting and emptied an automatic pistol into him.

Will County Assistant State’s Attorney Mike Fitzgerald called the slaying “ham-handed.”

“This was not a professional, coordinated hit,” Fitzgerald said during closing arguments. “The defendant was angry. ... This killing was personal, and every shot that went into Gerardo Franchini was the rage pouring out of this defendant – to settle a score.”

Edna Franchini can be heard saying “Christopher” and “Little” on a 911 call made immediately after the shooting that was played for jurors a second time Thursday. Police and several friends of Thompson who testified said he was known as “Little” on the street.

Several eyewitnesses identified Thompson as the man who argued with Gerardo Franchini and as the shooter, but defense attorney John Casey noted the driving distance from the restaurant to where Thompson dropped off Henderson and back would barely fit in the prosecution’s timeline – especially if he had stopped to get a gun.

“Edna said she sees Chris. She wants it to be him, [but] she’s the only person who said there was nothing [covering] his head,” Casey said.

Prosecutor Adam Capelli told jurors the many witnesses eating at the restaurant represented “a nice cross-section of Joliet.”

“There [aren’t] any biases. [Ask yourself]: Do these people have anything to lose or gain by telling the truth?” Capelli asked.

After deliberating for an hour, jurors asked to replay the interview Thompson had with police hours after Franchini was slain.

Thompson told detectives he heard from friends checking Facebook about a shooting in Louis’ parking lot and they’d been concerned he was the victim. Thompson said he had gone out to a nightclub the night before the shooting and partied too hard, returned to his grandparents’ house to sleep, taken his car to have a tire fixed and gone to the Crest Hill apartment of another girlfriend, Shannyn Barr, where officers found him later.

Henderson told police and later testified they had gone to Louis’ that morning.

Thompson said he hadn’t been there in a year and had only been there two

or three times in total.

“I should go. They got some [good] burger, I heard,” Thompson told police during his interview.

Detective Mark Lauer testified that as Thompson was being taken to the booking area after the interview finished, he asked, “What can I do to make this go away? I can put some big cases on the table.”

Will County State’s Attorney James Glasgow addressed the verdict Thursday.

“Christopher Thompson committed an act of unrivaled brutality when he gunned down an unarmed man in a crowded restaurant while he was enjoying a meal with his wife and two little children,” Glasgow said in a statement. “His actions displayed a demonic disregard for the lives and safety of the children and everyone in that restaurant. This guilty verdict will place an extremely dangerous and volatile killer behind prison bars, where he cannot harm anyone in our community again.”

Barr was in the courtroom gallery when the verdict was read and began sobbing. Thompson remained quiet but shook his head “no” and had a stunned expression when he turned back to see his family after the jury left.

Ford offers the ‘future’ with new models, technology offered, with 237 hp which, properly equipped, gives Escape a 3,500-pound tow rating.

Mustang continues to add historical nods to the tradition of the long hood, short deck ponycar profile. The 2016 GT now offers secondary turn signals in the hood vents.

But what’s underneath is the big news. Mustang features all-new front and rear suspension systems. Up front, a new perimeter subframe helps to stiffen the structure while reducing mass, providing more predictable wheel control that benefits handling, steering, and ride.

Ford also upgraded the V-6 and V-8 engines, then added the new 2.3-liter EcoBoost to the lineup. The EcoBoost cranks out 310 horsepower and gets up to 32 miles per gallon highway with a high-capacity direct injection system and a new twin-scroll, low-inertia turbocharger. Standard is the 300-hp 3.7-liter V-6, which gets up to 28 mpg highway, and the GT gets the powerful 5.0-liter V-8 with 435 hp.

Available are a smoother-shifting six-speed manual transmission, and a reworked six-speed automatic with new steering wheel-mounted shift paddles.

Either way, even the muscular GT gets up to 25 mpg highway.

Mustang is no slouch in the tech department, also offering the advanced SYNC 3 infotainment system.

For 2016, F-150 also offers SYNC 3, but it really moves ahead of the competition in one major aspect.

For the first time, F-150 features high-strength, military-grade aluminum alloys throughout the body. This makes it lighter, stronger and more resistant to dents. Overall, F-150 is up to 700 pounds lighter, increasing tow and payload

Aluminum body components make the 2016 Ford F-150 lighter, stronger and more capable. Pictured is the F-150 in Limited trim.

Improved suspension and handling enhance Mustang’s performance as the original-butevolving ponycar.

The 2016 Ford Escape, shown in Titanium trim, offers improved performance and the futuristic SYNC 3 infotainment system.

capacity, faster stops and starts, and greater fuel efficiency.

For also is offering all-new Pro Trailer Backup Assist, segment-first technology allows customers to steer a trailer instinctively by turning a knob left or right to indicate direction; the truck controls its steering and limits vehicle speed.

F-150 covers the field in buyer preferences. Bodies include Regular, SuperCab and SuperCrew, in two-wheel and fourwheel-drive configurations.

Four engine options are available, including an all-new 2.7-liter V-6 EcoBoost with standard Auto Start-Stop. It cranks out 325 hp, has an 8,500-pound towing capacity and can haul a maximum payload

of 2,250 pounds. A more powerful 365-hp, 3.5-liter EcoBoost is available, along with a 3.5-liter V-6 rated at 282 hp and a 7,600-pound tow capacity. The top engine is a 385-hp 5.0-liter V-8, with a whopping 11,100pound tow capacity.

A six-speed automatic transmission is standard.

Ford has taken its traditional forward-thinking attitude to the Chicago Auto Show.

Just prior to the show opening, Ford officials told a media gathering that growing strength in the sport-utility market means the brand will introduce several completely-new SUVs in the next few years.

Now, at the show, Ford is drawing big crowds by including 2017 versions of the Escape, Fusion and Raptor. These models are not available yet, but they enhance a 2016 lineup that is more attuned to what buyers want and need than anything previous.

This review highlights the 2016 Escape compact SUV, the iconic Mustang, and the best-selling F-150.

The 2016 Escape blends spirited driving, fuel economy and the latest technology in a handy and easy-handling five-passenger SUV. For example, Escape offers Ford’s new SYNC 3, a communications and infotainment system with a touchscreen that operates similar to tablets and smartphones and offers conversational voice recognition and intuitive graphics. Also offered is a hands-free power tailgate that allows access with the kick of a foot, as well as an active park assist that detects an available parallel parking space and automatically steers the vehicle into space, while the driver controls the gas and brake pedals.

Escape buyers have a choice of standard front-wheel or optional four-wheel drive, and a trio of engines linked to specially-calibrated six-speed automatic transmissions. Two engines – a 2.5-liter four-cylinder with 168 horsepower, and 1.9-liter EcoBoost with 173 hp – offer active grille shutters that reduce wind resistance. The 2.0-liter EcoBoost is also

Will County Board votes to proceed with Cedar Road condemnations

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com

JOLIET – Despite pleas from residents, the Will County Board voted, 19-4, Thursday to proceed with condemnation cases against three property owners affected by a bridge reconstruction and widening project along Cedar Road in Homer Township.

“I’m sorry if I’m emotional, but this is my mother – this is my mom – and these are my memories,” Karen Turner told board members, referring to the county’s attempt to take land from her 73-year-old mother, Diana Petersen, who lives near the project site just east of Cedar Road and south of Spring Creek.

“I don’t have a problem with fixing the bridge ... but [this project] makes you wonder what the plans are down the road. It makes you wonder about the homes south of the bridge,” Turner said.

The bridge reconstruction project includes widening to accommodate future expansion of Cedar Road, which is in the county’s long-range transportation plan.

Will County Highway Engineer Bruce Gould said the Highway Department will attempt to mitigate impact to property as much as possible.

“If we can make design changes, we can do that. But we have to go through negotiations to get to that point,” Gould said.

Richard Davis, who lives on Summerfield Drive east of Cedar Road, told board members he is concerned about what the road widening project means for residential properties

– including his own – once the road is widened from two to four or five lanes.

“I wasn’t made aware of this proposed widening of the bridge,” Davis said. “I’d be curious as to when the homeowners will be notified of the plans [to widen Cedar Road.]”

As required by law, the Highway Department earlier this month sent the property owners affected by the bridge widening project a 60-day notice letter acknowledging the department’s intent to file an eminent domain lawsuit if an agreement can’t amicably be reached.

Petersen previously said she plans to challenge the county if officials file the lawsuit. Petersen’s attorney, Jacqueline Helm, said the county “seems to be ignoring the long-term impacts” of the project.

County leaders are “viewing this situation in a vacuum” as if there will not be a future road widening, which ultimately will impact several homes, Helm said.

Gould said a home to the west, which he said is occupied, would be significantly impacted.

In other news, the County Board voted to: • Authorize the Will County executive to execute a $5.7 million contract to replace the county’s antiquated radio system with a new countywide system infrastructure.

• Authorize the Sunny Hill Nursing Home to reduce its bed capacity and staffing numbers to have more private rooms.

• Award a $200,000 contract to a new electronics recycler for drop-off services.

Dollar Tree and more coming with new Checkers in Joliet

By BOB OKON

bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Three other businesses will come with a new Checkers restaurant being built at a renovated strip center on Cass Street in Joliet.

A Dollar Tree and T-Mobile store also are coming to the development at 457 E. Cass St., an architect for the project told the Zoning Board of Appeals on Thursday.

The board approved a series of zoning variations that will allow the Checkers to be built.

Checkers will be a new building constructed in the parking lot. The other businesses will go into the existing building undergoing renovations.

Architect David Mangurten said he believes the developer also has another tenant for a small space remaining at the strip center.

“Dollar Tree is taking up most of the building,” Mangurten told the board. “T-Mobile is taking a small space. The liquor store is remaining.”

Mimi’s Liquors is the one business remaining since the redevelopment project started. The El Ranchito gro-

cery store formerly located in the strip center moved into a building next door.

The Zoning Board vote was 6-1, with Denise Powers voting against the variances.

Powers said she was concerned about a setback line being reduced from 30 feet to 1 foot to Casseday Avenue.

“I think it’s too close,” Powers said.

Mangurten said the setback variance was needed to accommodate the “wings” that Checkers has on its restaurants. The structure, which has the appearance of a wing, creates a canopy for the drive-thru area.

Powers also expressed concern about a redesign of the strip center, which no longer will have driveway exits onto Cass Street. Instead, the only entrance and exits will be on Casseday and Parks avenues.

Mangurten noted the property already has exits to the side streets.

The driveway to Cass Street is being closed off because it is a busy street and the side street driveways are preferable, he said.

vshanker@shawmedia.com JOLIET – News about the Zika virus is changing constantly, making it hard for the Will County Health Department to plan for the mosquito-borne virus that has been linked to a birth defect.

“This thing changes every day,” department spokesman Vic Reato said. “Almost every day, the [Centers for Disease Control and Prevention] sends fresh guidance.”

Zika is a virus that can lead to mild symptoms, according to the CDC. About one in five people with the virus becomes sick with symptoms, such as fever, rash, joint pain or conjunctivitis.

But the virus has been perceived as a potential cause for unusually high microcephaly rates in South American countries. Microcephaly is a birth defect in which a baby’s head and brain are smaller than normal.

The virus is spread primarily through Aedes mosquitoes, and it has been reported in tropical

regions of Africa, Southeast Asia and the Pacific Islands.

A recent outbreak in South America has world health authorities on alert.

The cold weather this winter has made it hard for the virus to spread in Illinois, Reato said.

“There is a large correlation between weather conditions and the spread of mosquitoes,” he said. “Most of these vectors thrive when the weather is hot and dry.”

The state health department has confirmed four cases in which residents – including two pregnant women – likely contracted Zika outside the country.

Reato said that because privacy concerns, he was unable to confirm if any of those four reside in Will County. But one Romeoville woman, Samantha Mejia, told WGN she was among them.

According to the WGN report, Mejia said she was pregnant when she took a trip to Honduras with her family over the holidays.

JOLIET – Troy School District 30-C Superintendent Todd Koehl will continue to serve the district on a performance-based contract, which was extended Wednesday by the school board through the 2019-20 school year.

According to the contract, Koehl will earn a $183,195 salary for the 2016-17 school year, a 2.7 percent increase from this year.

He is eligible for annual raises of anywhere between 0 and 6 percent based on annual board review.

The board voted, 6-1, to approve the contract. Board member J. Terry McFadden voted against it because he didn’t believe any superintendent should be locked in for more than three years.

“We’re very happy with him,” board President Mark Griglione said, adding that Koehl asked for the contract extension.

“When you’re happy with what someone is doing for you, you like for them to be happy.”

Griglione said the board reviewed Koehl’s performance, listening to a presentation Koehl made to the board detailing the work he has done for the district

since he was hired June 18, 2014.

Although the contract is based on performance, specific goals weren’t included in the contract.

“We’re still working on that,” Griglione said.

The district will pay Koehl’s entire contribution to the Illinois Teachers’ Retirement System. It also will supply him with a “high-end computer” and cellphone for use on district-related business. He will be reimbursed for travel with his personal vehicle.

Koehl will receive standard benefits such as disability, sick pay, paid vacation and personal leave. He, his wife and his children will receive health insurance, and the board will provide a term life insurance policy no less than 2.5 times Koehl’s base salary.

Koehl also will receive $10,000 in relocation and moving expenses incurred from his move to Troy when he was hired.

Griglione said Koehl took $5,000 to help him move into temporary quarters when he started with the district, and the remaining balance will be used when Koehl finds a permanent home in or near the district.

In addition to the contract, the board voted to increase school lunch fees by 10 cents to $2.65 next school year.

das told the council he was “extremely disappointed after all the hard work” he and other neighbors had put into getting some concessions the last time around.

Alderman Darren Deskin told the council it needed to take into account that the Aldi, which was the party that entered into the original agreement with the city, had not expressed concerns about the changes.

“I understand the gentleman’s concern, but this comes up every time an empty lot is to be developed next to a residential area,” Deskin said. “It’s progress.”

Council members also approved a separate annexation agreement with Shelby for an additional 4.7 acres of property next to the 1.6-acre Aldi lot to be incorporated as part of the Rose Lockport Center.

The agreement includes a special-use request for commercial development, such as retail shops and restaurants, on the property. Because of Shelby’s plans for further development on the property, a 3-foot berm and 8-foot evergreen trees will be constructed on the western border of the property, as well as a large detention pond.

Aldermen Jim Petrakos told Ladas that while he appreciated the concerns, any new development “has pros and cons” and that while the new proposal “is not ideal,” the berm and trees would minimize intrusive noise and light.

Ladas said after the motion was approved that he was “a realist” and knew the city would move ahead with the project.

“I just wanted them to know my concerns,” he said.

SHOREWOOD – Secretary of State Jesse White announced that his Mobile Driver Services Unit will appear from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. March 22 at the Troy Township Community Center, 25448 Seil Road, in Shorewood.

February has been declared American Heart Month to raise awareness of the number one killer in the nation. Having a healthy heart gives you a chance of a better quality, longer life. “If someone has significant heart disease, then many times life becomes more burdensome with medications, symptoms, and limitations,” explained Dr. Daisy Sherry, Assistant Professor at Lewis University’s College of Nursing and Health Professions. The patients would have symptoms such as experiencing angina or chest pain; feeling winded and not being able to perform daily activities. They would also require multiple medications to treat heart disease; endure invasive procedures for the heart such as cardiac catheterization, percutaneous coronary intervention or openheart surgery; and need more visits to a health care provider for routine tests and screenings than compared to a per-

son with a healthy heart.

How can you keep your heart healthy? “I always try to empower my patients to own their lifestyle, to make heart-healthy choices for themselves and their loved ones,” said Dr. Sherry.

The latest American Heart Association’s evidence-based practice guidelines include being physically active for at least 150 minutes weekly of moderate intensity exercise; eating a heart-healthy diet (based primarily on fruits and vegetables with 7-9 servings per day, low-salt, high fiber); maintaining a normal body mass index, blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar, as well as not smoking and avoiding secondhand smoke. Additionally, keeping up to date on annual visits for proper screenings and assessment of risk factors for heart disease is important. “The impact of heart healthy lifestyle changes is substantial in reducing the risk for heart disease. I think that’s the “miracle pill” we’re all searching for,” said Dr. Sherry.

Lewis University, a Catholic university, offers distinctive undergraduate and graduate programs to nearly 7,000 traditional and adult students. Please visit www.lewisu.edufor more information.

LOCKPORT – The Lockport City Council approved an agreement Wednesday that will allow a Murphy Express service station to be built next to the Aldi grocery store on South Farrell Road, after a public hearing during which the site’s closest neighbor expressed objections.

The council unanimously approved a proposal by Shelby LLC to amend a 2006 annexation agreement, which had a provision that no gas station would be allowed on the property.

William Ladas, who owns one of the two homes at the Clover Ridge 1 subdivision, stated concerns about the city removing a condition that he said he and other neighbors had requested of former Mayor Frank Mitchell when the original Aldi construction project came to the council in late 2005. At the time, the developers asked for a change from commercial to residential zoning, which was approved.

Also expressing concern about a noise, light and increased traffic, La-

“I understand the gentleman’s concern, but this comes up every time an empty lot is to be developed next to a residential area. It’s progress.”

OBITUARIES RODNEY D. SLAUGHTER

The ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON – Margaret Scherf, a longtime reporter and editor for The Associated Press whose career spanned four decades and included high-profile stories such as the trial of the Chicago Seven and the Tidal Basin splash by burlesque performer Fanne Foxe, died Monday. She was 75.

Her sister-in-law, Jennifer Scherf, said Scherf died at St. John’s Hospital in Springfield, Illinois, after battling ovarian cancer for several years.

Remembered by colleagues as a trailblazer, Scherf joined the AP in Chicago in 1963, hoping to bring a woman’s “fresh perspective and insight to a number of reportorial areas now mostly male territory,” she wrote in a letter to an AP executive.

In Chicago, she covered the 1968 Democratic Convention and wrote bylined stories about the trial of the Chicago Seven – the defendants who were charged in connection with anti-war protests at the convention.

In 1969, Scherf transferred to Washington and worked as a reporter and editor at AP’s Washington Bureau – covering everything from politics to federal agencies.

Skeptics question Chicago video policy

By DON BABWIN

The Associated Press CHICAGO – Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s promise to release videos of police shootings in no more than three months was touted as a way to bring more transparency to Chicago after the city took more than a year to make public the footage of a teenager’s death.

But skeptics question why Chicago needs so long to release the same type of videos that Cincinnati and Seattle already make public within days, if not hours. That has sown doubts that the new practice will do little to restore the trust that was damaged when the public saw the now-famous video of a white officer firing an entire magazine into Laquan McDonald, who was black, as he appeared to walk away from police.

The policy announced Tuesday calls for all videos to be released within 60 days. The deadline could be extended to 90 days if law enforcement requests a delay.

“That just gives them time to alter the video, do something to it, change the

News from across the state Rauner creates cabinet to deal with children’s issues

SPRINGFIELD – Gov. Bruce Rauner has created a special cabinet to streamline education and issues regarding young people across Illinois.

Rauner signed an executive order Thursday morning at a middle school in Riverton, outside Springfield, creating the Governor’s Cabinet on Children and Youth. He said the cabinet will bring together all state entities that deal with children into a central unit. He’s calling it the Children’s Cabinet.

The governor said he wants the cabinet to make sure state resources are used effectively and working together. State Secretary of Education Beth Purvis said the current system in Illinois is “fragmented.”

The cabinet has nearly 20 members, including the chiefs of state agencies such as the Department of Children and Family Services and Department of Juvenile Justice.

dates, maybe delete some things,” said April Cross, who lives in a predominantly black neighborhood on the city’s West Side. “That’s not giving people in the community faith in the police department at all.”

Emanuel, in a statement, said the policy “strikes a better balance of ensuring transparency for the public while also ensuring any crimi- Rahm nal or disciplinary inves- Emanuel tigations are not compromised.”

Although most of the attention will be on dashcam videos, the policy also calls for the release of any video – public or private – collected by authorities during investigations, as well as audio recordings and police reports.

The mayor fought against the release of the McDonald video, and recently released emails reveal an intense interest in his office with how the story was playing in the press.

One activist said the policy is more

Bond set at $150,000 for arrested serial stowaway

CHICAGO – A woman with a history of sneaking aboard airplanes has been arrested again at Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport.

Bond was set Thursday at $150,000 for 64-year-old Marilyn Hartman. Police said she was arrested Wednesday at an airport bus shuttle center. She’s due in court Tuesday on charges of felony probation violation and misdemeanor criminal trespassing.

Hartman has tried numerous times in recent years to board planes without a ticket, succeeding at least once by flying from San Jose, California, to Los Angeles in August 2014. She was arrested twice in two days last summer at O’Hare and Chicago’s Midway International Airport. She also has airport-related arrests in Arizona.

Hartman was released on probation to a Chicago nursing home in December, and ordered to avoid airports and Chicago’s Union Station.

Baby sitter faces trial deadline in murder case

WAUKEGAN – A Lake County judge said an Illinois baby sitter charged with killing a 3-month-old Wisconsin girl will go to trial Feb. 29 unless progress on

about influencing damaging news coverage than achieving transparency.

“The 60 days is so the administration can get ahead of the story, to give them time to come up with a PR strategy ... and cook up a story on how they are going to massage what is on the video and serve it to the public,” said William Calloway, a leader in the legal fight with the city over the McDonald video.

Craig Futterman, a University of Chicago law professor who argued for the video’s release, doesn’t go that far.

But he wonders how much good the new policy will do.

“There is no way this is not an improvement. ... But I see it as an insufficient step if the goal is to earn trust,” Futterman said. “To establish trust, that means being honest from the beginning, not 60 days, 90 days later.”

Sergio Acosta, a former federal prosecutor who helped craft the policy, said the 60-day deadline does that.

“Basically, we wanted to give investigators sufficient time to do what they needed to do in terms of interviewing people and gathering other evidence

that would not be tainted by a release that is too early,” said Acosta, who also is a member of a task force Emanuel created after the release of the video to make recommendations on how to reform the police force.

The new policy also lets the public know that the days of keeping evidence a secret indefinitely are over, and it puts investigators on notice that the clock is ticking, he said. If police ask for an additional 30 days, those requests must be made in writing and will be made public along with videos and police reports.

Acosta also said he does not expect all the releases to take 60 or 90 days.

Some will come out much quicker.

Other big-city departments already get videos to the public far sooner. In Seattle, the police department released dashcam video last month of police shooting a knife-wielding man the day after it happened. It was the same Thursday in Cincinnati, where the day after police shot and killed a man they say was reaching for a gun, they released cellphone video shot from a nearby car in a mere 17 hours.

a plea deal is made. The Waukegan NewsSun reported that the judge ruled this week after defense attorneys asked to delay 37-year-old Sarah Gumm’s trial until March. Prosecutors want to go to trial.

Judge Victoria Rossetti gave both sides until Monday for plea negotiations. The judge said she would consider pretrial motions Monday if there isn’t any movement on a resolution.

Gumm is charged with first-degree murder in the July 2012 death of Rylan Aislee Koopmeiners of Kenosha, Wisconsin. She is accused of causing a head injury that resulted in the baby’s death at her home in Waukegan.

would reduce disparities in access to critical care on the South Side and address “severe capacity constraints” at the hospital. She said the hospital had to turn away patients on 310 days last year.

The South Side hasn’t had adult trauma care since 1991 when the Michael Reese Hospital in the Bronzeville neighborhood closed its trauma center.

U of Chicago Medicine seeks OK for expansion

CHICAGO – University of Chicago Medicine has submitted to state regulators a $269 million expansion proposal that includes an adult trauma center.

The health system announced Thursday it’s asking regulators to approve the addition of 188 inpatient beds. Hospital officials said that would return the hospital to roughly its size in the late 1970s.

The plan includes turning Mitchell Hospital into a cancer center.

Champaign County board keeps hospitals on tax rolls

CHAMPAIGN – The Champaign County Board of Review has affirmed its decision to put area hospital properties back on the tax rolls.

The Champaign News-Gazette reported the board’s decision affects Carle health system and Presence Covenant Medical Center. An attorney for Carle said the health system will pay about $9 million in property taxes this year. Attorney Steven Pflaum said that’s “way too high.”

The decision stems from an Illinois 4th District Appellate Court ruling in January that a state law allowing hospitals to avoid taxes is unconstitutional. The ruling reopened a statewide dispute over whether hospitals should be exempt from paying millions of dollars in income taxes and property taxes to local governments.

Pope on Trump: Building border wall ‘not Christian’ The ASSOCIATED PRESS ABOARD THE PAPAL PLANE – Thrusting himself into the heated American presidential campaign, Pope Francis declared Thursday that Donald Trump is “not Christian” if he wants to address illegal immigration only by building a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border.

Trump fired back ferociously, saying it was “disgraceful” for a religious leader to question a person’s faith.

The rare back-and-forth between pontiff and presidential candidate was the latest astonishing development in an American election already roiled by Trump’s free-wheeling rhetoric and controversial policy proposals, particularly on immigration. It also underscored the popular pope’s willingness to needle U.S. politicians on hot-button issues.

Francis’ comments came hours after he concluded a visit to Mexico, where he prayed at the border for people who died trying to reach the U.S. While speaking to reporters on the papal plane, he was asked what he thought of Trump’s campaign pledge to build a wall along the entire length of the border and expel millions of people in the U.S. illegally.

“A person who thinks only about building walls, wherever they may be, and not building bridges, is not Christian,” he said. While Francis said he would “give the benefit of the doubt” because he had not heard Trump’s border plans independently, he added, “I say only that this man is not a Christian if he has said

things like that.”

Trump, a Presbyterian and the front-runner for the Republican presidential nomination, responded within minutes.

“For a religious leader to question a person’s faith is disgraceful,” he said at a campaign stop in South Carolina, which holds a key primary on Saturday. “I am proud to be a Christian, and as president I will not allow Christianity to be consistently attacked and weakened.”

Trump also raised the prospect of the Islamic State extremist group attacking the Vatican, saying that if that happened, “the pope would have only wished and prayed that Donald Trump would have been president because this would not have happened.”

Francis, the first pope from Latin America, urged Congress during his visit to Washington last year to respond to immigrants “in a way which is always humane, just and fraternal.”

He irked Republicans on the same trip with his forceful call for international action to address climate change.

Immigration is among the most contentious issues in American politics. Republicans have moved toward hardline positions that emphasize law enforcement and border security, blocking comprehensive legislation in 2013 that would have included a path to citizenship for many of the 11 million people in the U.S. illegally.

Hispanics, an increasingly large voting bloc in U.S. presidential elections, have flocked to Democrats in recent years.

• WATER

Continued from page 3 All water not the same

In Flint, the lead started getting into people’s water when the city switched from Lake Huron to a local river as its water source. The water did not have lead as it came out of the river. But the new source of water did cause corrosion in old lead pipes, so that the metal got into the water before it came out of the faucet.

The Flint situation has drawn attention to the effort, technology and safeguards that go into delivering safe drinking water to household faucets.

“Bottled water is not tested nearly as much,” Gornick said.

But it is not unusual for Gornick and other public officials to talk with people who do not know that the water coming into their homes is treated.

“People don’t understand when they turn on the faucet or flush their toilet what amazing amount of work went into making that happen,” Lockport City Administrator Ben Benson said.

Benson himself has become more acutely aware of what can go wrong in public water supplies, while taking a class in which the Flint water scandal has become the subject of a leadership project.

“The more we learn about it, the more mind-boggling it is as to how something like that can happen,” Benson said.

Lockport at one time had consid-

The complexity of such a change became apparent, Benson said.

“If we were to go on Lake Michigan water, you could not combine one with another – Lake Michigan and shallow well water. You have to completely transition from one source to another,” Benson said. “Once they studied it and figured out what that really involved, you have to completely change the water system, and you have to pay

someone to do it.”

Testing well water

People living in unincorporated Will County – outside of cities and villages – likely get water from their own private wells. That water may be untreated, but it can be tested.

“We recommend that people have their water tested at least once a year,” said Vic Reato, spokesman for the Will County Health Department.

The county’s Environmental Health Laboratory tests water every day from

“People don’t understand when they turn on the faucet or flush their toilet what amazing amount of work went into making that happen.”

Ben Benson

Lockport city administrator samples brought in by residents. The county tests for hardness, fluorides, nitrates and bacteria. But it does not test for lead. The county provides residents with the names of private laboratories that test for lead.

Reato said the county has been getting calls from people concerned about lead in their water, but the call volume is not higher than before the Flint situation made headlines.

“Last week we got two,” he said.

“It’s pretty typical.”

WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama on Thursday celebrated his hometown Blackhawks for winning another Stanley Cup, calling the team’s third title in six years an “amazing championship run.” But he’s still hoping at least one of the Windy City’s other professional teams, including his beloved Bears, will earn a trip to the White House before his presidency ends.

Obama took credit for the Hawks’ performance, noting that it had gone nearly a half century without winning the NHL trophy before he took office.

“Now you’ve got the hat trick, so I think it’s pretty clear the kind of luck I’ve brought to this team,” Obama said, surrounded by players in the East Room.

The Hawks won their third title in six seasons by defeating the Tampa Bay Lightning in six games last June. Their previous titles came in 2010 and 2013.

An avid sports fan, Obama credited the team’s strong performance to the front office. “It is also, by the way, a tribute to the head of scouting, who just

Antonin Scalia, who died Saturday.

Obama noted that seven players participated in all three championships, but singled out “unsung heroes” in goalie Scott Darling and Kimmo Timonen.

He noted that the Hawks have raised more than $2 million for nonprofit organizations that help Chicago children and families. The team also brought wounded service members who had been patients at the Walter Reed military hospital to the White House for Thursday’s ceremony.

“Thank you for the good work that you are doing as an organization, on and off the ice,” Obama said. “It would be nice ... if you just squeeze one more in there before I leave, because then I definitely will take credit for this amazing championship run. I haven’t given AP photo up hope on the Bulls or the White Sox President Barack Obama – with (from left) Blackhawks head coach Joel Quennville, or the Bears. Heck, I’d even take the Blackhawks President and CEO John McDonough and Chairman Rocky Wirtz – holds up Cubs.” Obama is a White Sox fan. a team sweater as he poses for a group photo Thursday during a ceremony to honor the Among the gifts he received from the 2015 NHL Stanley Cup champion in the East Room of the White House in Washington, D.C. team was a parking pass to United Center, the Hawks’ home ice.

Ease up on student loan borrowers

Jaywalking is illegal. But cops don’t ticket much for jaywalking.

They know that’s a waste of time and money when they’ve got bigger fish to catch.

So, too, with the federal government and young people right out of college. Why are the feds wasting time and money going intensely after kids who can barely pay their rent in this changing economy? We need a new system that helps students pay for college, but that doesn’t leave them in an inescapable financial snarl afterward.

Right now, the government is spending money in the wrong places.

BloombergBusiness reported recently it takes federal debt collectors seven months to recoup what they spend on a 30-minute call to someone who is more than 270 days late on student

loan payments. Collectors even went after a young woman jailed after an Occupy Wall Street protest whose debt on one of her student loans loan shot up 35 percent before she got out, leaving her more than $100,000 in the hole.

According to a 2014 report by researchers at Elon University and the University of Michigan, the federal government’s system of contracting out debt collection discourages contractors from taking the time to assist borrowers with distressed loans. Last year, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau reported that sloppy practices by loan-serving contractors make it harder to repay loans, raise costs, cause distress and push struggling borrowers into default.

Why is this necessary? Young people right out of college are struggling

to make a decent paycheck, certainly compared with Americans who got out of college 40 years ago. Meanwhile, college tuition has soared. Just between August 2003 and August 2013 it rose at twice the rate of inflation.

No former students who can afford to pay should blithely walk away from their loans. But the bigger question here is why we allow so many young people to be saddled with such enormous debt. As a group, student loan borrowers owe $1.2 trillion. Piled in a stack, those dollars would reach a quarter of the way to the moon. One in four borrowers is in default or struggling to stay current.

As a nation, we have to make higher education more affordable again.

Some politicians, including President Barack Obama, have suggested free

community college tuition. Jeb Bush has proposed replacing loans with a $50,000 line of credit to be repaid based on income. Other politicians are pushing for allowing especially hardhit former students to discharge their loans in bankruptcy, like a bad car loan, something that’s nearly impossible to do now.

Any solution has to be affordable and not undermine the entire student loan system. But if not these ideas, then what?

The current reality is unacceptable, in which college costs and their attendant loans are increasingly beyond the reach middle-income and lower-income young people.

Unlike jaywalking, that’s something that demands action.

– Chicago Sun-Times

LETTER TO THE EDITOR A goofy president

To the Editor: I just read a letter to the editor saying President Bill Clinton was goofy. What were a few of his accomplishments in his eight years? He tried to kill Osama bin Laden and the al-Qaeda hierarchy in spite of Republicans calling the effort a made-up war.

Bush ignored terrorism.

The economy boomed during his eight years in spite of raising taxes twice and had surpluses in the yearly budgets. The 30-year bonds were all paid off and the 20-year ones almost were. World banks were afraid we would finish paying off the 20s and then pay off the 10s. Those bonds make the world’s financial system work.

Clinton and Newt Gingrich had worked out a plan to stabilize Social Security and Medicare for 75 years.

Federal employment was cut and other entitlements were reduced. The unemployment rate was cut below 5 percent and jobs couldn’t be filled. We needed immigration to fill low-wage jobs nobody wanted to do.

All this changed with Bush II. We had 9/11 because Bin Laden was alive; taxes were cut while government spending increased. Rich got richer and the middle class went into decline. Bad decisions about unnecessary wars created the current Middle East problems.

Maybe we need another goofy president.

Lewis University’s Tiana Karopulos drives to the basket in front of Indianapolis’ Devin Ferguson during the Flyers’ 64-55 victory Thursday at Neil Carey Arena at Romeoville.

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL: LEWIS 64, INDIANAPOLIS 55

Lewis holds on to claim GLVC East title

By CURT HERRON

cherron@shawmedia.com ROMEOVILLE – Lewis University’s women’s basketball team hoped to wrap up its fourth straight Great Lakes Valley Conference East Division championship Thursday when it faced the University of Indianapolis at Neil Carey Arena.

And the No. 6 Flyers wasted no time taking control of the contest, jumping out to an 11-point lead more than four minutes in and then grabbing a 38-18 advantage at halftime.

However, the Greyhounds staged a furious rally in the second half, which saw the large lead cut to three points in the late going before Lewis closed things out to claim a 64-55 victory.

Lewis improved to 25-1 overall and 16-0 in the GLVC, which is the best

league start in school history. The win was the 20th straight this season for Kristen Gillespie’s squad, and it was the 20th straight conference win over the past two seasons, another program record.

For the Flyers, Mariyah BrawnerHenley had 16 points and seven rebounds, while Jessica Kelliher battled through foul trouble to add 16 points and five boards.

Tiana Karopulos came off the bench to collect 14 points and five rebounds while Kayla Brewer had 10 points and seven boards.

“Indy deserves all of the credit,” Gillespie said. “We talked at halftime how the score was 0-0 and we knew they were going to come after us and give us their best shot and I wasn’t happy with how we responded. Our shot didn’t fall right off the bat in the

second half, but we can’t let that take us out of everything. I thought they out-toughed us and out-competed us in the second half, and that’s not a characteristic of our team, so we’re disappointed.

“I thought Tiana was fantastic.

She’s high-energy and does the little things and I loved what she brought to the table. That’s how she plays, she’s the most unselfish young woman on our team. Whatever we need her to do, that’s the role she’ll accept. You have to give players all of the credit for this championship. They’ve done such a great job of buying in and we’ve faced a lot of adversity this year. They’ve been up to the challenge game after game.”

In the first quarter, Brawner-Henley scored eight points, Kelliher added six and Brewer had five to build

a 17-point lead. The Flyers made 9 of 12 shots and had no turnovers, while the Greyhounds connected on 2 of 11 attempts and had four turnovers.

Lewis looked to be in good shape with a 20-point halftime lead, but then it went scoreless for more than eight minutes. Meanwhile, Indy went on a 9-0 run to close to within 38-27. Brewer hit a jumper with 1:43 left in the third period to finally end the drought.

Kelliher got into foul trouble in the third quarter and became a factor again midway through the final quarter.

Meanwhile, Karopulos provided some key points and rebounds to lift the Flyers while they were in the midst of a scoreless-span that lasted nearly 10 minutes.

CLASS 4A MINOOKA GIRLS BASKETBALL REGIONAL TITLE: OSWEGO EAST 45, MINOOKA 38

Oswego East slips past Minooka in regional final

By KRISTIN SHARP

ksharp@shawmedia.com MINOOKA – The Minooka and Oswego East girls basketball teams were locked in a physical game for three quarters.

In the end, however, the Wolves’ post players made the difference in Thursday’s Class 4A Minooka Regional championship game.

The Indians tried to keep pace down the stretch, but the Wolves prevailed, 45-38.

The victory gives Oswego East (26-2) its first regional championship, sending the Wolves into Tuesday’s Benet Sectional semifinal against Bolingbrook.

“Honestly, I knew this would be the team,” Oswego East senior guard Alexis Davis said. “My sophomore year, we got to this point and lost to Neuqua Valley, and tonight we came to play. We took our time. We kept forcing it in the beginning, but our shooters knocked down some shots and got some big ones toward the end.”

Minooka (20-8) cut Oswego East’s lead to 27-23 on a three-point play by Sydney Arlis (eight points). As she sank her free throw, a timeout was called to recognize the senior’s 1,000th career point. She became the sixth player in Minooka history to reach the milestone.

“That’s the silver lining. I’ve been doing this for a while now and I’ve been lucky to coach some great kids, but Syd does more things to help us win than any other girl I’ve coached,” Minooka coach Ray Liberatore said.

“She has not missed a game starting in four years. Great defender and an unselfish player.”

Oswego East led, 31-25, after three quarters, and Ty Battle (12 points) scored six quick points to produce a 10-point lead with 2:18 to play. Minooka, however, continued to look beyond the arc and knocked in three long-range shots, two in the final minute, to give the Indians a chance.

Arlis hit a 3-pointer with 30 seconds to go to cut Oswego East’s lead to 42-36, but the Wolves went 3 for 4 at the line in the closing seconds to seal the victory.

“They never quit and they’ve been like that all year,” Liberatore said.

“Oswego East has lost two games all year and they’ve done that for a reason.

• LEWIS Continued from page 23 “Indy definitely came out hard, especially in the second half,” Karopulos said. “After halftime, we struggled a little bit, especially scoring-wise, but we pulled it out, even though it wasn’t our prettiest win. As long as we pulled it out in the end, we just have to work hard in practice tomorrow and get better.

“Everyone on our team, one through 14, does a good job of stepping up and doing what they can.

We’re definitely proud of what we’ve done so far and we’re excited for everything in the future. We just have to keep our eye on the prize. And our ultimate goal is to play on April 4 in the national championship.”

After connecting on only two of their 12 shot attempts while turning the ball over five times in the third quarter, the Flyers took a 44-32 advantage into the final quarter.

Indianapolis’ Nicole Anderson (13 points) hit two free throws with 6:13 left to pull her squad to within 48-42, and then Ashley Montanez (13 points) hit a jumper with 5:40 remaining to make it a 48-44 game. Indy pulled to within three points after 3-pointers from Princess German (15 points) with 3:26 to go and from Sarah Costello (12 points) with 1:54 left.

Lewis closes out GLVC regular-season play with two home games. It takes on Saint Joseph’s on Saturday and Wisconsin-Parkside on Thursday.

David Toney for Shaw Media

Minooka’s Sydney Arlis goes up for a shot against Oswego East during Thursday’s Class 4A Minooka Regional championship game.

“I was pleased with the way we executed our defensive game plan. Offensively, we just needed to hit our baskets. We had some good looks at times, especially from 3-point range, which we’ve done better than tonight, but it didn’t happen.”

Oswego East played without its top 3-point shooter, as Maya Dennis rolled

her ankle in Tuesday’s regional semifinal. Hailey Arlis led Minooka with a team-high 11 points.

“Minooka did a great job and had a nice game plan,” Oswego East coach Abe Carretto said. “Alexis Davis stepped up with Maya being out. We just kept battling inside, and that’s just what we keep doing.”

at halftime was we were going to attack the basket and try to get to the freethrow line,” Smith said. “I was really happy what we did at the free-throw line.”

Bolingbrook had only four second-half field goals but made 14 of 16 free throws over the final two quarters, 16 of 18 overall.

“We struggled at first, but when we attacked, we got them into foul trouble,” Patrick said. “We were able to make our free throws and that helped.”

“I was getting frustrated a lot,” Edwards said. “But my teammates found a way to make it happen.”

Bolingbrook led, 35-34, after three quarters and was never headed. Sophomore Gabriella Smith and junior Jnaya Walker chipped in seven points each for the Raiders.

“We talk about the tough schedule we play and now, we want to see the fruits of our labor playing that kind of schedule,” Smith said. “Because we’ve been in this situation before against bigger and better teams, we don’t get rattled. At no point did I ever feel we started to lose our composure.”

LEMONT – With the Class 4A Lemont regional championship on the line, the Bolingbrook girls put the ball in the hands of sure-handed Brittany Patrick. Leading by two, the senior guard missed a wide-open, left-handed layup with less than a minute to play.

Patrick would avenge the miss by hitting a pair of free throws with 21.5 seconds left, sending the Raiders to a 46-42 win over No. 3 Naperville Central and a spot in the Benet sectional, where Bolingbrook (17-8) will take on Oswego East at 7 p.m. Tuesday.

“That’s Brittney being our only returning player from last year’s team,” Bolingbrook coach Christopher Smith said. “She missed a wide-open layup.

To hit those free throws at the end was big for her.”

Leading 44-42 with two minutes to play, Bolingbrook went into a spread offense. When Patrick saw the wideopen lane, she took off and was in the clear.

“Everybody was yelling at me, but

I knew I had to get it back and make those two free throws for the team,” Patrick said.

“Her leadership and guidance is what we need to keep moving forward in the playoffs,” Smith said. “She showed that toughness and strength that we need. We are only going to go as far as she can take us.”

After the miss, Naperville Central (23-10) sandwiched a pair of turnovers around a missed one-and-one, essentially giving the Raiders their 15th regional title in the past 16 years.

“We just had to stick together at the end,” said Talia Edwards, who led Bolingbrook with 12 points. “Everybody had to want it.”

Neither team led by more than six points. A pair of put backs by 6-foot-6 sophomore Nasia Brown gave Bolingbrook a 15-9 lead early in the second quarter. The Raiders settled for a 23-21 lead at the half. The second half featured a different strategy. Bolingbrook turned up the defensive pressure and attacked the basket on offense. It worked.

Minooka’s Larry Roberts shoots a 3-pointer against Plainfield North. The Indians are the No. 1 seed and the Tigers are No. 6 in the Class 4A Lockport Sectional.

Minooka lands No. 1 seed in 4A Lockport Sectional The coaches’ online votes have been tabulated and the seeds are posted.

The Minooka boys basketball team, which has clinched a share of the Southwest Prairie Conference championship, was rewarded Thursday for its strong season when the IHSA announced the Indians as the No. 1 seed in the Class 4A Lockport Sectional.

Minooka (19-8) beat out Lincoln-Way Central (16-6) for the top seed.

The Knights are No. 2, Joliet West (149) is No. 3 and Oswego is No. 4.

Most observers felt Minooka, Lincoln-Way Central and Joliet West would fill the top three spots in whatever order. The big question was who the No. 4 seed would be.

Finishing in the top four matters because each predetermined regional site will have one and only one of the top four seeds. The regional hosts for the Lockport Sectional are Minooka, Lincoln-Way Central, Neuqua Valley and Andrew.

In some years, you might feel at this juncture – 10 days before the regionals begin – that you could pencil in Minooka and Lincoln-Way Central for berths in the sectional semifinals. They are the 1-2 seeds and are competing for regional titles on their home floor. What could go wrong?

This season, however, is a different animal, with so many eyebrow-raising results happening

VIEWS Dick Goss seemingly on a weekly basis.

One of the five through eight seeds – No. 5 Stagg, No. 6 Plainfield North, No. 7 Joliet Central and No. 8 Bolingbrook– will be assigned to each regional. All four certainly are more than capable of knocking off the top-four seed that is in the same regional.

And, you certainly can go beyond that. Lemont is No. 9, Plainfield East No. 10, Sandburg No. 11 and Oswego East No. 12. Then come Lockport, Neuqua Valley, Lincoln-Way North, Yorkville, Romeoville, Plainfield South, Andrew, Lincoln-Way East and Plainfield Central.

In our area, we have seen Romeoville, Plainfield South and Lincoln-Way East pull surprises against teams that are seeded well above them. And what about Plainfield East? The Bengals probably are playing as well as anyone right now. They have proven themselves capable of knocking off one or more of the high seeds.

Regardless of how the seeds came out, the likelihood is there for competitive games throughout the four regionals and the sectional.

PROVIDENCE BOYS BASKETBALL

the Chargers. Before hitting their final four shots, the Celtics were shooting 22 percent from the floor.

Anthony DiNardi led Providence with 11 points and hauled down four rebounds.

“We played hard tonight and we were right in the game,” Di Nardi said. “This was a tough loss and we want to come out and play well Saturday and in the upcoming state tournament.”

Junior Eric Justice scored the first and last three points of the game for the Celtics. His 3-pointer opened the scoring. Schutter buried the first of his two 3-pointers to give the Celtics a 9-4 lead, and Providence led after one quarter, 9-6.

“We executed tonight on the defensive side of the ball,” Schutter said.

“We didn’t shoot the ball well, which eventually cost us this game. We made a great run to get here and we really want to come out Saturday and get third place against St. Laurence.”

Rakocevic led a 12-2 Chargers run

to start the second quarter, scoring eight points to open a 19-11 lead with 2:21 left in the half.

Celtics sophomore Scott Slocum hit a jumper to stop the run and finish the first-half scoring with St. Joseph up, 19-13.

“We played a tremendous game defensively against very good St. Joseph team,” Providence coach Tim Trendel said. “We played our game and really were causing them trouble in the first half. In the second half, we became a little bit intimidated by their defensive pressure, which caused us to shoot poorly. St. Joseph really hurt us on the offensive glass.

“I am very proud of the great run we made to get to the semifinals and am looking forward to a good effort against St. Laurence on Saturday. I love coaching this group and I told you in December that we would be playing our best basketball in February and March. We will be a very tough out in the upcoming state tournament.”

CLASS 3A

We hesitate to say there will be upsets, however, because a majority of the teams involved are capable of stepping up and beating someone. Those “upsets” have happened often enough this season that they do not feel like upsets anymore.

The IHSA soon will announce which teams are assigned to which regionals and what the early matchups will be. If the seeds are matched as usual, Minooka and Bolingbrook will be at Minooka, and Lincoln-Way Central and Joliet Central at Lincoln-Way Central.

Joliet West and Plainfield North will be at Neuqua Valley or at Andrew, with Oswego and Stagg at the other.

Those would make for interesting regional finals, but again, who is to say Lemont, Plainfield East, Romeoville, Plainfield South or someone else won’t reach a regional final? That’s the kind of season this continues to be.

Looking ahead, the winner of the Lockport Sectional will advance to the supersectional at Northern Illinois University. A potential opponent is Benet, the No. 1 seed in the Aurora East Sectional.

Now, who do you suppose led Benet wire to wire in a quarterfinal game of the Pontiac Holiday Tournament at Christmas? That’s right, none other than Joliet West.

Take your pick on which team it Shaw Media file photo might be that will win the Lockport Lincoln-Way Central’s Mikey Koszela eyes the basket during the Jan. 29 game against Sectional. And, don’t be shocked if that team winds up at state.

Lincoln-Way West. The Knights are the No. 2 seed in the Lockport Sectional.

In Class 3A, the Streator Sectional was divided into Sub-Sectional-A and Sub-Sectional-B, with two regionals in each.

Hillcrest received the No. 1 seed in Sub-Sectional A, with Joliet Catholic No. 2, regional host Lincoln-Way West No. 3 and Rich South No. 4. The other regional host is No. 7 Thornridge.

So, if the regional assignments are true to the seeds, JCA will be playing at Lincoln-Way West, with that matchup the potential regional final. In addition, No. 8 Providence, which has been playing its best basketball of late, could be assigned to Lincoln-Way West, and in that case could face the Hilltoppers or Warriors in a regional semifinal.

The other area schools in 3A are in Sub-Sectional B, with Peotone earning the No. 1 seed. Regional host Plano is No. 2. Morris is seeded seventh and Coal City 11th. The other regional host is Kankakee.

SMALL SCHOOLS

The seeds were announced in Class 2A and 1A a week ago, and those schools will begin regional play Monday.

In Sub-Sectional A of the 2A Clifton Central Sectional, Reed-Custer Is the No. 1 seed, Dwight is No. 7, Seneca is No. 9 and Wilmington is No. 11. Gardner-South Wilmington is No. 2 behind Newark in Sub-Sectional B of the Class 1A Ottawa Marquette Sectional.

WESTCHESTER – Defending Chicago Catholic League tournament champion Providence met defending Class 3A state champion St. Joseph on Wednesday night in the CCL tournament semifinals.

After a tight first half, St. Joseph (19-7) broke away to win, 48-32. The Chargers, ranked 13th in 3A, will meet No. 3 Fenwick (24-2) for the CCL title Saturday afternoon at DePaul.

Led by Troy Howat and Miles Boykin last year, Celtics defeated St. Joseph for the CCL crown at DePaul University. Three weeks later, St. Joseph defeated Belleville Althoff for the Class 3A state title.

Fenwick beat St. Laurence, 71-51, in the first semifinal Wednesday.

Providence (10-17) will meet St. Laurence (14-13) for third place Saturday at DePaul. The Celtics beat the Vikings, 57-55, in overtime Feb 5.

For the Celtics, it was déjà vu in

the CCL tournament. Last season, the Celtics beat Loyola, state-ranked St. Rita, Hales Franciscan and St. Joseph to win the title. After compiling a 7-16 record and 3-9 mark in the CCL South this season, the Celtics took out St. Francis de Sales, CCL North Section champ Mount Carmel and Hales to reach Wednesday night’s semifinal.

The host Chargers clung to a 19-13 lead as a tight first half concluded.

The combination of cold Providence shooting and domination of the glass by the Chargers led to a 35-17 St. Joseph lead with 2:30 left in the third quarter. Jason Towers (six points, five rebounds) and Lavon Thomas (four points, 10 rebounds) had putback baskets that hurt the Celtics.

Jake Schutter (10 points) and Jake Castelli closed out the third quarter with 3-pointers to pull the Celtics within 35-23.

Nick Rakocevic (15 points,12 rebounds), St. Joseph’s 6-foot-11 center, scored five points to start the final quarter and put the game away for

A CULTURAL PHENOMENON

Lockport library to host two events with ‘Downton Abbey’ themes

By JEANNE MILLSAP

Shaw Media Correspondent

L

OCKPORT – The Lockport Branch Library is presenting two free programs revolving around the wildly popular PBS Masterpiece series “Downton Abbey” during the show’s final season.

Romeoville resident Barbara Giba has signed up for both.

“I like period pieces,” Giba said.

“I’m a longtime Masterpiece Theatre fan. ... I like the costumes, the castle, the storyline ... and the characters.

You feel like you know the people. If you were neighbors, you would want to be friends with them.”

With one of the library’s programs scheduled for next week and the other less than three weeks later, registration sheets are filling up with the names of those who can’t get their fill of the show by staying at home and watching it on TV. “Dressing Downton” on Wednesday will host speaker Lise DubeScherr, executive director of the Richard H. Driehaus Museum in Chicago. An exhibit at the museum features 36 costumes worn by the characters in the “Downton Abbey” series.

“Downton Abbey Tea and Chat” is scheduled for March 13.

Dube-Scherr said her presentation will focus on the clothing, set design, props, scripts and other elements that make the show so beloved. She will not bring actual garments to the presentation, she said, as they are considered works of art.

“I’ll give a glimpse behind the scenes of ‘Downton Abbey,’ ” DubeScherr said. “Why it’s so popular, what gives it its authenticity ... what goes into making the show.”

Dube-Scherr called the series a “cultural phenomenon” and said it has struck a chord with a large audience.

The series, in its sixth season, started off set in the year 1912 and goes through 1925, chronicling the lives of the wealthy Crawley family, their acquaintances and those who serve them at their sprawling British estate, Downton Abbey.

It was a time of tremendous change, Dube-Scherr said, that included the sinking of the Titanic, the independence of Ireland, World War I, the Spanish influenza pandemic and the lessening influence of the British aristocracy. In the show, the

said, involve a world immersed in technology and speed.

Deborah Lullo, adult services professional at the Lockport Branch Library, said she herself is a fan of the PBS series and has watched it from the beginning.

“It’s just such a sophisticated, elegant presentation,” Lullo said, “and the time period is just so interesting, and the costumes are so gorgeous.

It’s such a high-quality production.”

The show has historical advisers, Lullo said, who ensure the details are period and class appropriate. This encompasses the actors’ postures at the dinner table to how ladies wear their gloves.

The library has hosted a few other “Tea and Chat” events during the series, and they were popular, Lullo said. The chats normally are held at the beginning of the season, but with Photo provided this being the final season, Lullo White silk day dress and coat with black trim and light cream linen suit worn by Cora and set up an additional one the Sunday after the last episode.

cerned Dad In Santa Clara Dear Concerned Dad: To pull your daughter out of school or send her to a psychotherapist would be an overreaction. Her sexual impulses are normal. Although I agree she needs guidance, that guidance should come from you and your wife.

As to your “violating your daughter’s personal property,” I’m glad you saw what was on the tablet and your wife should be as well. The kind of photos you describe can cause big problems for teenage girls. If her relationship with her boyfriend

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips sours, those pictures can wind up on the Internet to be viewed for all time.

Colleges and prospective employers have been known to scour the Internet looking for these kinds of postings when interviewing students and job seekers. What might seem like innocent fun now could cause her big headaches a few years down the line, and your daughter needs to know it.

Dear Abby: I work the front desk at a small hotel in the middle of nowhere. I love my job. My boss and co-workers are amazing, and we are like a big family.

Recently, while I was working the graveyard shift, I was held up at gunpoint and robbed. Going to work still scares me, and I’m anxious the entire time.

Should I seek counseling and stay with this job to see if my anxiety lessens, or find another one where I won’t have to deal with cash? I’m terrified of this happening again, since the thief got away with it. – Just Don’t

Shoot Dear Just Don’t Shoot: You

definitely should seek counseling because of the trauma you experienced. Some states offer it as part of a victims assistance program, but if yours does not, then you will have to get it privately through your health insurance or your employer’s. After you have had some sessions, you will then be in a better position to decide whether to continue working at that hotel.

Soup to Nutz

Dear Abby: My 16-year-old perfect kid came to us, very adult-like, saying it was time for her to go on the pill. We knew she had a boyfriend, but didn’t realize it was this serious.

Despite my initial impulse to kill him and stick my daughter in a convent, we discussed it as a family and agreed she would see a gynecologist. She also had a long talk with her mother about sex, and with me a few days later. When I sat down alone with her she was embarrassed, but I don’t care – I’m her father.

Fast forward to last week: She left her iPad in the living room, and while I was using it, up popped explicit pictures of her not only with her boyfriend, but with other guys and girls. Her mother and I talked about how to handle this. I suggested therapy and pulling her from school. My wife disagreed. She accused me of violating our daughter’s personal property and said it’s none of my business.

I might be old-fashioned, but my daughter, whom I love more than life, needs to know this is not OK. She’s still a child despite looking like an adult, and as a child, she needs guidance. Am I wrong?

Do you have any resources for me on handling my daughter’s sexual impulses? – Con-

Women can’t drink as much as men Dear Dr. K: Can you explain why “moderate” drinking is defined differently for men and women? Is it because men tend to be heavier? Or is there more to it?

Dear Reader: Women are advised to drink less alcohol than men because they are much more vulnerable to alcohol’s harmful effects.

For example, research has found if a woman has more than one drink a day, she increases her risk of car accidents and other traumatic injuries. Her risk of high blood pressure, stroke, suicide and breast cancer goes up. And drinking more than one drink a day also increases the risk she will go on to abuse or become dependent on alcohol.

Women also tend to advance from their first drink to their first alcohol-related problem to the need for treatment more quickly than men.

Why are women more sensitive than men to the effects of alcohol? There are two main biological explanations. The first involves an enzyme called alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH). ADH breaks down alcohol, first in the stomach and then in the liver. Women have considerably less ADH in their stomach linings than men.

That means more alcohol leaves their stomach and is absorbed into their blood.

As a result, one drink for a woman has about twice the effect as one for a man.

Second, pound for pound, a woman’s body contains less water and more fatty tissue than a man’s. Water dilutes alcohol in the blood; fat retains it. So alcohol remains at higher concentrations for longer periods of time in a woman’s body.

This exposes her brain and other organs to more alcohol.

COMICS Crankshaft

Frank & Ernest

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff Together, the increased absorption of alcohol into the blood plus lower total body water explains why women may become intoxicated more easily than men. These factors also suggest why women are more likely to suffer adverse consequences after drinking less and for fewer years than men.

Most health professionals recommend no more than one drink a day for women and no more than two drinks a day for men. One standard drink is defined as 12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine or 1.5 ounces of hard liquor.

For pregnant women, as a report recently released by the American Academy of Pediatrics confirmed, no amount of alcohol is safe.

Although it generally is true women tolerate alcohol less well than men, I can say from my own experience there are plenty of exceptions to this “rule.” I’ve known women who could drink most men under the table. My guess is they inherited an unusually efficient ADH enzyme. As a result, they rapidly break down alcohol in their stomach, and less alcohol gets into the blood. With less alcohol in the blood, there’s less that travels to the brain.

And I’ve known some men who get pretty silly after the first few sips. Although in several cases, it would be more accurate to say they get sillier than usual.

TODAY – Look for a pastime that brings you satisfaction. Revive old friendships and dig up projects you never got to finish. This is a great year to put everything in its place and clear the way for bigger and better opportunities. Fulfill your dreams.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Take responsibility and do what has to be done before you move on to more entertaining pastimes. Love and romance will light up the end of your day.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Do something that will help you stand out or bring you greater recognition. Money will come to you if you negotiate creatively. Don’t set your price too high or too low.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Pay more attention to what’s going on in your own backyard. Be willing to compromise to avoid emotional situations that can have a detrimental effect on a relationship with a loved one.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – You’ll be drawn to people who are not good for you. Don’t make promises. Make a point to socialize with people who have as much to offer you as you do them.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – What you do for others will make a difference. Your kindness will be returned and your popularity will increase, allowing you to maneuver into a better position. Romance is featured.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Emotions will surface. Consider what you can do to maximize your chances of getting others to do things for you. Let your intuition guide you. Refrain from being pushy.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Concentrate on ways to bring about positive change to your financial and domestic situation. A change of environment, scenery or lifestyle will improve your mood and relationships with others.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Do what you can to help others. Taking on a physical challenge to ensure that someone is spared an impossible task will result in an ally for life. An opportunity awaits you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Be careful how you react to what others say and do. You are likely to misinterpret what someone is telling you. Don’t get wrapped up in emotional situations that are detrimental to your well-being.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Stand up for your beliefs. If someone opposes you, walk away. You are better off accomplishing what you can and allowing others the freedom to do as they please.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Be creative with the way you handle your money. Strive to save, not spend. Look for reasonable ways to celebrate or to be entertained. Romance doesn’t have to be costly.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – If you treat others well, you will be given the opportunity to lead. Do your share in order to make gains.

Social activities will lead to new opportunities and connections.

You can elaborate as you go along, but you must use the base you start with in order to build a strong and healthy future. If you express your ideas, you will convince others to share their ideas with you and support your plans.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – If you get active, you will like the results. A challenge will motivate you to take on new hobbies and form new friendships. Dreams can come true with hard work.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Invest in your talent.

Make changes to the way you look, and listen to the input you receive from someone you

trust. Social activity will turn into an excellent networking opportunity.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Don’t neglect the things that are important to you just because someone is trying to railroad you into doing something else. Focus on your needs.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Uncertainty and confusion will arise due to false information. Get your facts straight and make a point to move in a direction that will help you get what you want.

Satchel Paige, who was arguably the first great African-American baseball pitcher, said, “Work like you don’t need the money. Love like you’ve never been hurt. Dance like nobody’s watching.”

When you dance, you can go slowly -- perhaps doing a fox trot.

Or you can move quickly -- maybe performing a fandango.

It is often similar at the bridge table. Should defenders fight actively for tricks, or should they sit back and wait for declarer to furnish them with winners?

Defenders should listen to the bidding. Does it sound like the opponents are strong, perhaps stopping in game after a couple of slam-tries?

If so, try to win tricks quickly. Or did they squeeze every last drop out of the cards, perhaps bidding one spade-two spades-three spades-four spades-pass? Then, defend passively.

In addition, take the dummy into account. If it is balanced, there is usually no hurry to cash winners. But if it is unbalanced, threatening to give declarer discards on a good side suit and ruffs, speed is of the essence for the defense. Into which category does today’s deal fall?

If I had been North, I would have raised to three no-trump with that strong doubleton, but that contract would have failed also.

Against four spades, West leads a diamond and East takes dummy’s queen with his king. What next?

With such a balanced dummy, East should go passive, returning a diamond to get the entry off the board (or switch to a trump). Now the contract must fail. An active club shift by East backfires if South plays low from his hand.
