A this and that column VIEWS Kate Schott

With about a month left before the March 15 primary, we’re starting to gear up for our election coverage.

One of our first steps will be to activate (hopefully this week) Election Central at TheHerald-News.com and MorrisHerald-News.com.

Election Central is an online clearinghouse of information about candidates running in contested races. Readers also can find answers candidates submitted to questionnaires we sent to those in contested races – and read, in their own words, why they think they deserve your vote.

One of the best parts of it (in my opinion) is that it allows readers to learn about candidates on their own time.

Email newsletter

We are rolling out a new email newsletter starting Monday for Herald-News readers. The newsletter will be sent out

Honor rolls

Starting Monday and running through Friday, we will feature first semester, first trimester and second-quarter honor rolls for area students. All honor roll lists were submitted by area schools and districts.

The schedule is as follows: • Monday: Plainfield middle schools • Tuesday: Area Catholic schools, Lockport Township High School, Kelvin Grove School and Providence Catholic High School • Wednesday: Joliet Township High Schools, Joliet Catholic Academy, Elwood CCSD 203, Rockdale Public Schools • Thursday: Joliet Public Schools District 86 • Friday: Plainfield Central and Plainfield South high schools Minooka and Channhon schools will appear in our sister paper, the weekly

Herald Life.

Progress edition

The advertising side of the building asked me if I would share this with area nonprofits: On March 20, we will be publishing this year’s annual Progress Edition in The Herald-News. This broadsheet section will take an in-depth look at local business and our communities.

We would like to include stories about local nonprofit organizations. To participate, please send the following: • electronic news releases (up to 500 words) • photos (minimum size of 200 DPI) • contact information.

Joliet officials trying to learn fate of Thomas dealership

By BOB OKON

bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – City officials hope to find out what Thomas Auto Group’s plans are for its Joliet dealership.

Romeoville Mayor John Noak announced a week ago that Thomas Toyota was coming to his village, suggesting the likelihood Thomas was leaving Joliet.

Management at the Joliet dealership, however, have not returned repeated calls left by The Herald-News seeking comment on their plans for the Joliet location.

Thomas also has a Nissan dealership at the same Joliet site, 1437 N. Larkin Ave. Joliet Economic Development Director Steve Jones said he assumes the Toyota dealership is being relocated. But he wants to talk with Thomas ownership about the Joliet business.

“The main concern is what’s the status of Nissan and what would be the status of the vacated [Toyota] dealership,” Jones said.

Jones said he had been trying to reach

Thomas-ownership since the Romeoville announcement last week. He did get one returned phone call on his voice mail Thursday morning. But as of Friday, he has not been able to reach someone to talk about the future of the Joliet dealerships.

Car dealerships are important businesses in municipalities because of the sales tax dollars they generate selling big-ticket vehicles.

Joliet in 2000 created a tax incentive program to encourage dealerships to stay in the city after Ron Tirapelli Ford and Tyson Motors moved to Shorewood. In both situations, the dealers expanded their operations by moving to larger locations at the Interstate 55 interchange with Jefferson Street.

Thomas Auto Group used the incentive in 2001 when it redeveloped its Larkin Avenue operation to create separate showrooms for Toyotas and Cadillacs. At the time, Thomas sold Cadillacs. According to a city memo on the incentives approved for Thomas in 2001, the dealership had gener-

ated $330,000 in sales taxes for the city the previous year.

Joliet officials several months ago had discussions with Thomas about the possibility of using the incentive package again to expand the Larkin Avenue location. At the time, according to one city official, Thomas was being urged by car manufacturers to relocate closer to an interstate.

The new Thomas Toyota location will be on Weber Road near Renwick Road, about 5 miles directly north of the Joliet dealership. Larkin Avenue becomes Weber Road outside Joliet. The Romeoville location is about 4 miles from the Weber Road interchange with I-55.

Joliet Mayor Bob O’Dekirk said he believes it’s been at least a year since city officials talked with Thomas about incentives for the Larkin Avenue location. He would like to resume discussions.

“We want to have a communication with them at some point,” O’Dekirk said.

“Right now, there’s no communication with them.”

Plainfield library plan rests in voters’ hands Groups support, oppose Plainfield library referendum

Tax increase could pay for new building

By VIKAAS SHANKER

vshanker@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – Go into the Plainfield Public Library on any given day, and you are likely to find public computers taken up, people turning to pass each other in the book stacks and patrons packed into meeting rooms for library programs.

Almost all of the library’s offices and public spaces are designated for multiple uses. Staff and residents bump into each other in the hallways. During peak hours, it can be a struggle to find a free chair as residents are reading, working on school or office work, and browsing information on computers.

Meeting rooms are small, and need to be booked well in advance. The study spaces are cramped, with students and professionals having to swivel their chairs carefully to avoid crashing into each other.

“We’re trying to work around each other constantly,” said Michelle Petersen, head of circulation. “Trying to get any privacy is a challenge, too.”

That scene was observed two years ago during a tour of the library – and things haven’t changed.

The library likely has become more crowded because the district likely has grown from the 2010 census number of 75,337 it uses to calculate how many residents live in its boundaries, which includes the village of Plainfield, part of Bolingbrook in Wheatland Township, part of Romeoville in Plainfield Township, and unincorporated Wheatland and Plainfield townships.

The 27,000-square-foot library should be about triple that size to serve a population that large, based on standards identified by Normal-based consultant Library Planning Associates. Last year, the library had 34,907 library card holders. Almost 640,000 items were checked out, and more than 50,000 people attended library programs.

But a larger facility that would reflect the district’s population and library usage means raising tax rates to construct a new building.

In 2009, the Plainfield library floated a referendum question asking for permission to take out $30 million in bonds for a building expansion, as the facility at that time was 40 percent over capacity.

That question failed with 73 percent of district residents voting “no.” Library officials said the failure was due to low voter turnout, recorded at 18 percent, and economic conditions.

A patron of the Plainfield Public Library looks through shelves of books Feb. 9.

But now, Plainfield Public Library Director Julie Milavec and the library board might have the public support to go forward with a plan to build a new library, estimated to cost $39 million, due to the interest in the presidential race and the district’s yearlong planning process.

That plan rests on two referendum questions on the March 15 primary ballot. The first asks for permission to bond out $39 million, with a 20-year maturity, to pay for a new 72,000-square-foot library building. The second asks to raise the library’s property tax limiting rate to fund a 19 percent increase in operation costs each year.

Modern needs

In addition to tripling the space to reflect the growing district, Milavec said the new library plans also would meet the demands of modern-day library use.

According to the Libraries Transform initiative of the American Library Association, recent trends in the changing role of the library include connectivity, digital initiatives and the increased importance of electronic media.

Libraries are changing from a place to discover material to a place to create it.

Milavec said a good example of this shift, and of the library’s own expansion plan, is the Fountaindale Public Library’s Studio 300 lab in Bolingbrook, which was built as part of a new $39.5 million library that occupies more than 100,000 square feet, after a successful referendum in 2008.

See VOTERS, page 53

By the numbers Below is an estimated cost breakdown of the Plainfield Public Library’s proposed new library, subject to change pending referendum and subsequent design process: n $2 million for land acquisition and bond sale costs n $4 million for professional services n $28 million for construction costs, at $390 per square foot n $1.34 million for furnishings n $1.54 million for integrating modern library technology n $600,000 for change order allowance n $1.5 million for a 4 percent escalation in planning for a 2017 groundbreaking.

The $28 million construction costs, subject to change, include: n $4.06 million for mechanical systems n $3.38 million for electrical systems n $2.76 million for superstructure n $2.60 million for interior construction n $2.58 million for sitework n $2.35 million for exterior closure n $1.12 million for foundations n $458,005 for substructure n $406,625 for roofing n $322,556 for conveying systems n $321,855 for equipment n $254,297 for expanded parking lot n $2.47 million for general conditions n $2.77 million for design contingencies n $2.07 million for escalation

PLAINFIELD – The Plainfield Public Library District’s new library plans aren’t sitting well with some residents, while others say a new building is necessary.

The March 15 primary ballot will have two question: The first asks for permission to bond out $39 million, to be paid off in 20 years, to build a new 72,000-square-foot library building. The second asks to raise the library’s property tax limiting rate to fund a 19 percent increase in operation costs each year.

Members of the group Library Truth say if the referendums are passed, it would almost double the library’s portion of property taxes to build the new structure and tear down the current one.

“The character of Plainfield is impacted by removing that existing building,” resident Bob Stone said. “It does have historic value. And you’re basically replacing it with a Taj Mahal.”

Stone said he and some other residents against the library plans have formed a grassroots opposition group called “Library Truth.” The group’s website is www.librarytruth.com.

The group recently formed to oppose the library’s March 15 referendum. Another group called Citizens for a 21st Century Library is supporting the referendum. The pro-referendum group’s website is www.voteforplainfieldlibrary.com.

Stone said Library Truth has three main reasons for opposing the expansion: the tax increase, the demolition of the current library building and the construction of a new library that doesn’t fit with the historic nature of downtown Plainfield.

The total tax impact of the referendum can be calculated for individual home value at the library district’s website, www.plainfieldpubliclibrary. org.

Plainfield developer Carl Bryant, who owns several downtown properties, said the tax increase is a tough pill to swallow to construct a building that would be a “behemoth” compared to the rest of downtown.

Semitrailer collides with train near school No serious injuries reported after collision near Laraway Road More online

By BRIAN STANLEY

bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A semitrailer and Amtrak passenger train collided Friday along Laraway Road just west of Route 53 near Laraway Elementary School in Joliet.

Debris from the semitrailer could be seen sitting between the tracks south of Laraway Road.

Joliet Fire Capt. Bob Wohlrab said the collision happened at 10:29 a.m., when a train en route from Chicago to Springfield struck and twisted the trailer.

“There were quite a few people on the train, but no serious injuries,” Wohlrab said. “Though some passengers had minor complaints, everyone declined to be transported to the hospital.”

Joliet Deputy Police Chief Ed Gregory said the westbound truck had gone around the stop arms at the crossing when it was struck by the train.

“Witnesses said the gates had been down for an extended period of time and four trucks had already gone around, but the fifth one did not clear the tracks,” Gregory said.

Amtrak personnel told police the train had just passed through a restrict-

Officials gather Friday at the scene of a collision between an Amtrak train and a semitrailer at Laraway Road in Joliet. ed zone and it was not known how fast the train was going in the crossing zone, which typically has a 55 to 79 mph limit.

Debris from the incident was strewn about near the southwest corner of the Laraway Elementary School property, Laraway School District 70C Superin-

tendent Joe Salmieri said.

Salmieri was on scene soon after the collision occurred.

He said the sound of the collision could be heard inside the school.

“It scared everybody,” he said.

“This is, quite frankly, the night-

mare that we had feared,” Salmieri said.

“I hope it gives the attention to the problem we have here. This is a major reason why we have to relocate. We want the safety of our kids back.”

Deputy Fire Chief Ray Randich said the trailer contained John Deere riding lawnmowers and “Gator”-type vehicles.

Cedric Randle, 37, of Chicago, was ticketed for violating the stop arm, improper lane use and driving without insurance, Gregory said.

Randle was driving for the HUB Group, according to police reports.

Laraway Road remained closed as of 2 p.m. Friday afternoon and police arranged an alternate route for school pickups.

Budget impasse forces layoff at disability advocacy group

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS

lleonecross@shawmedia.com

JOLIET – Even as Gov. Bruce Rauner shifted sights to next year’s spending plan during his address to lawmakers last week, social service agencies in Will and Grundy counties are still facing the very real consequences of Springfield’s inaction in the current fiscal year.

Katy Hoyer, a full-time advocate for people with disabilities at the Will-Grundy Center for Independent Living, was laid off Friday.

But Hoyer doesn’t blame her employer. She blames Springfield.

“I wish [the General Assembly and Gov. Bruce Rauner] could just sit down and understand that these are real lives being affected,” Hoyer said. “To be a person with a disability, to go through the struggles of finding a job, then find a place where you fit in and then have it taken away from you because of the budget, is disheartening.”

Hoyer, 26, has cerebral palsy and

said she struggled for years to find employment despite her master’s degree in social work.

“I was starting to make this place home, a place where my abilities and skills are appreciated,” Hoyer said.

The nonprofit Will-Grundy Center for Independent Living – based in Joliet – must also institute furlough days for its remaining employees because the WGCIL is owed $86,000 from the state for the current fiscal year, Pam Heavens, the center’s longtime executive director, said in a statement.

The center is “losing a valuable employee,” Heavens said.

The layoff will save the center about $40,000 per year, while furlough days will save just over $5,300.

“We have almost depleted our savings. Thus, we had no other choice,” Heavens said.

Balance of government

Rauner, during his budget address, gave lawmakers two choices: Give him

unilateral authority to cut programs to balance next year’s budget or work with him on a mix of revenue options, budget cuts and reforms.

Passage of the Unbalanced Budget Response Act, according to Rauner’s budget book, would give him authority to establish spending reserves, reduce provider rates currently set in statute, reallocate balances from other state accounts into general funds and alter or delay payments under continuing appropriations.

Morris Mayor Dick Kopczick said Friday he questions whether Rauner is qualified to make those determinations.

“Do you want to put all of that into one man’s hands?” Kopczick said. “Why do we have a City Council? Balance of government was created for a reason.”

He said he, like many city leaders, is worried the state will come after municipal coffers next to fill in multibillion-dollar budget holes.

In particular, cities are worried the state will make a grab for municipali-

ties’ share of the state income tax – or the Local Government Distributive Fund.

Rauner has threatened to take that funding before with little luck, but Kopczick said he is increasingly concerned about the possibility.

MAP grants for college students

Rauner on Friday vetoed Democrat-backed legislation that would have funded higher education grants for low-income college students.

He said in a statement the move would “explode the state’s budget deficit.”

Rauner blamed the Democrat-controlled General Assembly for making promises it can’t keep.

“Despite its constitutional obligation to balance the budget, the General Assembly has not put forward a plan to pay for these programs, whether through spending reductions, revenue or cost-saving reforms,” he said in the statement.

Rialto staff enjoyed having ‘Empire’ in theater

By BOB OKON

bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – It was show business with a little extra last week at the Rialto Square Theatre when Fox TV filmed a red carpet scene for the hip-hop industry drama “Empire.”

“It was beautiful,” said Lori Carmine, technical director for the Rialto.

Carmine said confidentiality agreements did not allow her to say much about the scene that was filmed other than that it was a red carpet ceremony.

And it involved a lot of people.

“It was packed,” she said. “I really didn’t get to see much of the filming.

They had 400 extras – maybe more.”

The stars of the show were at the Rialto.

Carmine said she saw Terrence Howard, who plays Lucious Lyon; Taraji P. Henson, who plays Cookie Lyon; and Bryshere Gray, who plays Hakeem Lyon. She believes the whole cast was there, although she did not get to see everyone.

Star sightings outside the Rialto were even more rare.

“We didn’t see any of the celebrities,” said Everree Valentine, an employee at Gji’s Sweet Shoppe across Chicago Street

Bob Okon – bokon@shawmedia.com

Fox TV film crews Friday wrapped up a week of work on the “Empire” series at the Rialto Square Theatre. from the theater. “Most of them came in the side door.”

The “Empire” crews basically took over the block of Van Buren Street that runs along the south end of the Rialto

building. The street was blocked off and loaded with trucks and trailers for the filming.

Valentine said plenty of the crew members did come to Gji’s for candy and

coffee.

“They even took Cookie [Taraji P. Henson] some gummy bears,” Valentine said. “They said it’s her favorite.”

This wasn’t “Empire’s” first filming at the Rialto.

Valentine on Friday was wearing a “#FreeLucious” T-shirt she got in November when Fox TV filmed a concert scene for the show in the Rialto’s theater.

This time the filming was in the lobby and rotunda area.

In November, Carmine said, there was talk about the crews coming back.

“The first time they were here, a cameraman said to me, ‘I don’t know why we aren’t filming in the lobby. This place is beautiful,’ ” she said.

Movie and television crews have filmed scenes at the Rialto before, including “The Babe,” a 1992 movie about Babe Ruth that starred John Goodman, and “Stir of Echoes,” a 1999 thriller starring Kevin Bacon.

Right now, the Rialto enjoys its relationship with “Empire.” Crews were at the theater Monday to Friday. Carmine would like to see them return.

“I hope so,” she said. “They keep saying they love coming here. We love working with the crew. They were so polite and so nice.”

Students hear Holocaust survivor’s story Holocaust survivor Magda Brown, 89, shows her most-prized possession; a photo of herself before she and her family was taken to Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp during her visit Friday to John F. Kennedy Middle School in Plainfield.

By FELIX SARVER

fsarver@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – Magda Brown said when she was a teen, she wasn’t any different from the crowd of Plainfield students who watched her speak Friday.

“I was a happy-go-lucky teenager.

Sometimes I did my homework, sometimes I didn’t do my homework,” she said.

But Brown, born in Hungary, went through a harrowing experience in 1944 when she was 17 after her family was sent to Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp in Poland.

Brown survived, but was separated from her parents and relatives. She never saw them again.

She was invited to speak to students at John F. Kennedy Middle School in Plainfield to share the experience of living through the Holocaust and her liberation.

She shared with them lessons she learned about sharing, protecting freedom and thinking conscientiously.

Principal A.J. Hundal and teacher Anita Alvarez told the students they would have an opportunity to hear a firsthand account of what they read in books and discussed in class.

“Today, we’re here not only to hear and witness this amazing story but pay our respects,” Alvarez said. “All those books you’ve read, all those films you’ve watched, it comes to life today.”

Brown called the Holocaust a “premeditated, scientifically coordinated mass murder.”

According to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, 6 million Jews were persecuted and murdered by the Nazis – along with their collaborators – who thought Germans were racially superior.

Jessica Tezak for Shaw Media

Before the Nazi occupation of Hungary, Brown told the students how Jewish people were targeted “one by one” with a series of discriminatory laws that affected their education and employment.

“Genocide does not happen from one minute to the next. It builds gradually,” she said.

She recalled how Jewish people were crowded into ghettos and then had to turn in valuables that were used to pay Hungarian railroad workers to ship them to Auschwitz.

When she and her family were sent in a railroad boxcar to an unknown location, she remembered seeing peo-

ple behind a fence who were strange looking. She thought to herself she had been sent to an insane asylum.

“Unfortunately, I found out that soon after I would become one of those people because we ended up in Auschwitz. We were taken from Auschwitz to Auschwitz-Birkenau,” Brown said.

Brown was separated from her family and spent months imprisoned in Auschwitz until she was sent to a work camp, working under dangerous conditions to make weapons, according to her website.

She was liberated in 1945 by the U.S. Army. Since then, she moved to Chicago, started a family and worked 40

Brown told the students to protect their freedom and think before they decide to hate.

“I will not tell you to hate or not to hate. That is up to your conscience but at least give it some thought,” she said.

U.S. Rep. Foster visits Joliet Central class with astronaut answers

By VIKAAS SHANKER

vshanker@shawmedia.com JOLIET – U.S. Rep. Bill Foster visited an American government class Friday morning at Joliet Central High School to read answers to two of many questions submitted for his Ask-an-Astronaut contest last year, and to answer student questions about his thoughts on current events and issues.

The government class, taught by Kelsey Duranty, met with Foster, D-Naperville, in a multipurpose room in the new Joliet Central student center.

One of the questions asked was, “What made you want to become an astronaut?”

In the answer read by Foster, one as-

But when the astronaut graduated high school, he took a trip in a different direction as a Navy pilot. Then, the promise of flying faster than anyone has ever flown led him to apply for the astro-

naut program.

The second question asked about how sleeping works in space. The astronaut responded by saying he sleeps in a sleeping bag with a strap attached to the wall.

“Sleeping is challenging sometimes,” Foster read from the answer, adding that astronauts don’t get the sense of relief they get from sleeping in a gravity environment like Earth.

After reading the answers, Foster took questions from the class and talked about his own story, including how he gained inspiration from his father, his business and his job as a scientist to run for office.

Foster also discussed global warming, drug laws for heroin and marijuana,

the Iran nuclear deal and federalism.

Supporting Clinton

After the class was dismissed, Foster reaffirmed his support for Hillary Clinton for president, adding that he will be casting his Illinois superdelegate vote for her.

“I’m a scientist, and also someone who believes in putting the most competent people you can in office,” Foster said. “Hillary Clinton, I feel, understands the full complexities and difficulty of things.”

On opposing Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders, “I think the issues he is raising are important,” Foster said.

“But I think his solutions are too simple to those complex problems.”

High winds cause damage in Morris

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – High winds Friday in Morris caused a portion of a roof to blow off the building at 534 Bedford Road in Morris.

We Care of Grundy County closed for the rest of the day after high wind gusts blew off a portion of a roof from the building next door onto its roof just before 1 p.m.

We Care employee Wendy Easson was with a client in the food pantry when the roof landed on the We Care building.

“We were in the pantry and you could see the roof moving and could hear it when it happened,” Easson said.

Executive Director Eric Fisher said he made the decision to close for the day to ensure the safety of employees and clients.

“We are glad no one was hurt,” Fisher said. “We’ve decided to close for the day and our roofer is on his way out to see if there is any damage to our roof.”

Morris Fire Protection & Ambulance District personnel on the scene set up barricades to the area between the two buildings where the roof landed.

According to the personnel, it was believed the section of roof that blew off was a patch that was laid over the original roof.

The National Weather Service in Chicago issued a High Wind Warning Friday.

The HERALD–NEWS

BOLINGBROOK – A Bolingbrook man has been charged with murder in connection to a fatal shooting earlier this month.

Kevin Jerel Bailey, 22, of the 500 block of Sundance Drive, was booked Saturday afternoon into the Will County Jail, according to jail records.

He faces three charges of murder, including second-degree murder.

Bailey allegedly killed 21-year-old Juantrelle Quarles Jr., according to reports by Joliet Patch.

Quarles of Bolingbrook and another man were outside a residence Feb. 6 in the 100 block of Cypress Drive in Boling-

brook when they were struck by gunfire, according to previous Herald-News reports. The other man suffered wounds to his abdomen, but was expected to survive.

At the time of the shooting, there was a large gathering at the house of friends who’d been to a funeral earlier that day.

A dispute erupted, leading to shots being fired.

Bond for Bailey has been set at $2 million, jail records state. He is scheduled to appear in court Monday.

Messages left Saturday night for officials with the Bolingbrook Police Department and the Will County State’s Attorney’s Office were not immediately returned.

Romeoville trustees discuss rental licenses vshanker@shawmedia.com ROMEOVILLE – Landlords of single-family homes that have been converted into rental units in Romeoville may soon need to obtain licenses and require background checks, according to a proposed ordinance village trustees discussed Wednesday.

The ordinance also would require tenants to sign agreements stating they can be evicted if they are arrested in connection to crimes involving gangs, drugs, sex offenses, unlawful use of weapons, assault, battery and more.

Romeoville Police Chief Mark Turvey said the addition to the village code is an initiative by Romeoville police to prevent crime.

“Overall, the goal is to kind of improve the quality of life for everyone in Romeoville,” Turvey said at the Village Board meeting Wednesday. “[The change makes] sure that criminal activity, to the extent humanly possible, is kept out of the residential housing projects in the village.”

The ordinance requires landlords to obtain licenses to rent each of their properties. The permit application requires information about the owner and an agreement of communication with the village, acknowledging the village may perform inspections.

The costs for the licenses are $75 a year for each single-family dwelling unit, or $100 a year for each apartment or multifamily building.

The ordinance doesn’t apply to hotels and motels, nursing homes, retirement centers, rest homes or hospices licensed, inspected and governed by state or federal law.

It also doesn’t apply to group homes that fall under the Specialized Living Centers Act for developmentally disabled individuals, or dormitories and similar housing operated by institutions of higher learning, such as Lewis University.

Landlords must include a crime-free clause in their leases, and landlords must undergo a crime-free housing seminar held by the Romeoville Police Department.

As a U.S. WWII Ensign veteran, he served aboard the aircraft carrier LSM-176 assigned to the Asiatic-Pacific Theater. Self-employed for 23 years as a manufacturing representative and retired in 1993. Giving back was a way of life for Pat. He was a member of the Knights of Columbus Council #387 for 65 years. Pat along with his wife, Norma, supported and volunteered their time at St. Patrick’s Catholic Church, School and Retirement Home, St. Jude’s Catholic Church and School, St. Francis Academy and Joliet Catholic High School (Jubilation Co-Chairs 1978 - 1979; Jubilation’s Irish Pub 1976 -1977, 1980 -1985; Jubilate 1985-1995). From 1985-2010, he served the Will County Habitat for Humanity by finding land which was donated to build new homes. To honor his outstanding commitment and dedication, Pat was awarded Joliet Catholic Academy’s Alumni of the Year 1990 and Will County Habitat for Humanity Honors for Extraordinary Service 2013.

Pat’s greatest accomplishment was not achieved on the basketball court, in his

academic achievements, because of his extraordinary memory or his tireless efforts to create a thriving business to support his family.

His most precious gift to the world was how he made others feel. His gracious and generous light shined brightly on everyone he met. Pat had the infinite ability to make you feel special, appreciated and loved. He knew that out of adversity comes good, and up to the very end, his mantra was, “keep on keepin’ on” and surely “it’s a great day to be alive!” It is through this spirit that Pat and Norma’s children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren hope to continue their legacy of light, love and joy of living to all those they encounter.

Preceded in death in 2013, by his beloved wife of 61 years, Norma J. (nee Steinke) Condon, who he married Jan. 26, 1952. His parents, John R. and Cecile (nee Bannon) Condon; and Norma’s parents, Joseph and Louise (nee Sommer) Steinke also preceded him.

Engineering Initiative Continues at “...employment in occupations related to STEM is projected to grow to more than 9 million between 2012 to 2022.

That’s an increase of about 1 million jobs over 2012 employment levels.”

- STEM Education Coalition In the classroom Each school offers two classes of the elective, with 28 to 30 students in each class. Joliet West split the classes into a ninth-grade class taught by Wagner and a 10th- to 12th-grade class taught by Gonzales. The Joliet Central classes include students in ninth through 12th grades.

Joliet West Introduction to Engineering Design teacher Erin Wagner explains the Automoblox project her freshmen students have to build on Inventor software.

JOLIET – Winter break for Erin Wagner meant dedicating considerable time to building.

And she had a very specific task in mind: This Joliet West High School teacher spent time building the projects she intended to ask her students to compete in the coming semester. Her reason: So she could better understand the expectation she was going to have for her students.

Wagner is one of four Joliet Township High School District educators, along with fellow West teacher Tim Gonzales and Dale West and Chris McGuffey from Joliet Central, teaching the inaugural year of the Introduction to Engineering Design class. It is the first stage in a series of four engineering classes to be provided as a four-year program in the future.

The elective course is part of the nationally recognized Project Lead the Way, a nonprofit organization and the nation’s leading provider of K-12 STEM programs. The emphasis on STEM – short for science, technology, engineering and mathematics – is due to the growing

need for students to be educated in these areas to be ready for the increasing number of jobs related to those fields.

The program is being offered at JTHS due to the collaboration of ExxonMobil and Cargill. Project Lead the Way offers curriculum and high-quality teacher professional development models, combined with a network of educators and corporate or community partners to help students develop skills necessary to succeed in a global economy, according to pltw.org The four teachers – who spent 80 hours training in Chicago just for this program – said they spent the first semester learning key components to success. Along the way they’ve learned the value of teamwork and flexibility.

During the course of the academic year, the students will go through 10 units, including design process, technical sketching and drawing, measurement and statistics, modeling skills, geometry of design, reverse engineering, documentation, advanced computer modeling, design teams and design challenges.

The four teachers meet twice a month to talk about how each class has been doing so far, learn about successes and failures and to mentor one another.

“I have probably spent 100 hours in training to learn the software between summer and now. I’m glad I have the guys at Joliet Central who know about drafting and software to guide me, because I am not familiar on how to teach software. But it’s getting easier,” Wagner said.

The teachers said when the class began, they were

Wagner and Gonzales have a background in physics with strong math and science skills, while West and McGuffey thrive in the technical field with expertise in software and drafting. The four quickly learned if they play off each other’s strengths throughout the year, the class would have a more positive outcome for the students.

“We make a good team. There are times when we are not comfortable with the equations and the physics aspects in the Project Lead the Way curriculum, so we work with the teachers at Joliet West who teach this day to day,” West said.

confident in the curriculum because of the extensive training, but not sure how the students would adapt to the concepts. They learned to be flexible with the class as a whole and with each individual student.

“For the most part my class has been doing well. I have some tweaking to do. I have a couple of students who have difficulties in the class and I work with them individually in class or after school,” Gonzales said.

McGuffey said the biggest takeaway from first semester was to not micromanage the students and nitpick each individual concept, but rather ensure each student could understand the big picture.

The Introduction to Engineering Design students at Joliet Central have learned to play off each other’s strengths and aid one another with class projects. Here, the students had the assignment to build and customize and Automoblox vehicle with Inventor software. Left to right are: Luis Reyes, senior, Jose Guzman, junior, Daniel Flores, sophomore, Yonathan Garcia, freshman, and Gabriel Hernandez, junior.

The teachers have begun to cater more to the pace of the kids, with an eye on what they need to succeed. West felt he and McGuffey at the beginning of the year tried to push too much; they have since slowed down and included feedback from the students to achieve success in future lesson plans. That also meant that the students who excelled with the curriculum were challenged to add on to their projects, or make the components more complex.

“We offer an open lab after school for the students to come in and look at their projects over the week and catch up on the work,” McGuffey said. “Some of them need extra time to master skills and complete their projects.”

Both schools have experienced a wide spectrum of talent in the classrooms. The students have embraced this and help each other with homework and during class projects. On any given day in the lab, students were in and out of their seats to help a fellow classmate who was stuck with a problem in the workbook, or confused with the Inventor computer software. The classrooms have become a group effort to learn concepts and a place where the students can be creative with their own designs.

Joliet Central Introduction to Engineering Design teacher Dale West explains the days assignments and expectations. The class was set to build on Inventor 3-D software.

The teachers look forward to second semester where the students and educators can use what they learned first semester to go through the entire engineering process from problem, concept, design and product to marketing and sales.

Born: July 17, 1928 Died: Feb. 13, 2016

Martha “Marty” Manthey passed away Saturday, Feb. 13, 2016, at her son Michael’s home, in the care of her devoted daughter-n-law, Margaret and Joliet Area Community Hospice.

Martha was born July 17, 1928, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Raniero Saccutelli of Chicago Heights. She was united in marriage to the love of her life, Arthur H. Manthey on June 10, 1950. He preceded her in death on Aug. 25, 1998, married for 48 years. Dismissed as a child from an overcrowded Italian kitchen, Martha loved playing stickball in the alley with the neighborhood boys, which may have sparked her love of the game.

Her unconditional love was like no other.

Those left to cherish Martha’s memory include her children, Mike (Margaret) Manthey, Jim (Debbie) Manthey and Lauri Manthey (Richard) Garcia; nine grandchildren, Maisie and Madden Manthey, Kevin Manthey, Jimmy (Heather) Manthey, Julie (Joe) Williams, Danielle (Oscar) Camargo and Richie Garcia; two great-grandchildren, Maxyn Williams and Brody Garcia.

By COLLEEN BARRY The Associated Press

MILAN – Umberto Eco catapulted to global literary fame three decades ago with “The Name of the Rose,” a novel in which professorial erudition underpinned a medieval thriller that sold some 30 million copies in more than 40 languages.

The Italian author and academic who became one of Italy’s best-known cultural exports and keenest cultural critics, died at home in Milan on Friday evening after a battle with cancer, according to a family member who asked not to be identified.

His death was earlier confirmed by his American publisher, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt.

Eco’s contribution to Italian literature was lauded by political and cultural figures alike. A memorial service will be held on Tuesday at Milan’s Sforza Castle, a grand citadel which is over-

semiotics, the study of signs and symbols in language; popular culture icons like James Bond; and the technical languages of the Internet.

“The Name of the Rose” made Eco an international celebrity, especially after the medieval thriller set in a monastery was made into a film starring Sean Connery in 1986. “The Name of the Rose” sold millions of copies, a feat for a narrative filled with partially translated Latin quotes and puzzling musings on the nature of symbols.

Eco said his work on the novel was “prodded by a seminal idea: I felt like poisoning a monk.”

The book sparkled with references to his intellectual preoccupations.

“Books are not made to be believed, but to be subjected to inquiry,” he wrote. “When we consider a book, we mustn’t ask ourselves what it says but what it means, a precept that the commentators of the holy books had very clearly in mind.”

The last line of the book says, in Latin: “Yesterday’s rose endures in its name; we hold empty names.” That meant, Eco said, that ideas are the only imperishable things.

Eco was born Jan. 5, 1932, in Alessandria, a town east of Turin. Eco, whose family name is supposedly a Latin acronym of ex caelis oblatus, or gift from heaven, given to his foundling grandfather by a city official, said the insular culture there was a source for his “world vision: a skepticism and an aversion to rhetoric.” He earned a degree in philosophy from the University of Turin in 1954, beginning his fascination with the Middle Ages and the aesthetics of text. He later defined semiotics as a “philosophy of language.” He suffered a crisis of faith during this period, abandoning the Roman Catholic Church.

His last book, a collection of essays, is set to be published next week by a new house he helped found with other authors last year.

Marjorie was born to loving parents in Joliet and remained a lifelong resident.

Marjorie graduated from Joliet Township High School in 1943, having participated in numerous activities including choir in the Madrigals singing ensemble and equestrian events at Pilcher Park equestrian center. After graduating high school, she worked at Joliet Wrought Washer. Marjorie met the love of her life, Bernard E. Zaworski at a local dance. They became engaged and were married on Dec. 29, 1951.

Marjorie remained a loving and devoted wife and mother throughout her life. During their almost 44 years of marriage, the two had nine children. She was very much invested in her children’s lives, encouraging a love of animals (including horses, chickens, rabbits and, of course, dogs), school sports and music.

While the Zaworski tribe kept the two on their toes, Marjorie was also the business manager of Bernard’s busy medical practice for more than 25 years. During their years together, Bernard and Marjorie travelled extensively throughout the world. She had a quick wit and loved a good card or board game, ready to take on all comers. Throughout her life, she remained young at heart. Her love and spirit will be sincerely missed by all.

Marjorie is preceded in death by husband, Dr. Bernard E.; daughters, Mary Kay and Regina M.; son, Richard W.; parents, George and Laura Huston; sister, Phyllis Barber; brother, George Huston.

She is survived by four sons, Bernard E. Jr. (Iwona) of Oak Creek, Wis., Phillip G. (Vicki) of Lawton, Mich., Thomas A. (Roberta) Tempe, Ariz., James P., Macau, China; two daughters, Suzanne Weber (Robert) of Joliet and Rebecca

(Derrel) of Colo, Iowa; 11 grandchildren, Rebecca, Jason, Ian, Derrick, Max, Edward, Steve, Gregory, Kristina, Raymond and Sarah; and one great-grandchild, Natasha.

A Mass will be held at Holy Cross Church,

901 Elizabeth Street, Joliet, Feb. 27, 2016, at 10 a.m.

In lieu of flowers, the family has requested that donations be made in Marjorie’s memory to the charity of their choice.

OBITUARIES PATRICIA A. SCHWAB Patricia A. Schwab (nee Gaynor), age 83, a lifelong Joliet/Shorewood resident, passed peacefully, Tuesday, Feb. 16, 2016. Beloved mother of Sue A., William M. “Mike” and Rebecca A. Schwab; loving grandmother of Jon, Ryan and Mark Costion; dear aunt of several nieces and nephews.

Preceded in death by her husband, William G. Schwab; parents, Rebecca (O’Malley) and John Gaynor; one brother, Richard (Lynn) Gaynor.

Patricia was a graduate of JTHS, class of 1948 and attended JJC. As it was her wish, cremation rites have been accorded and Patricia’s urn will be interred with her late husband’s urn at Arlington National Cemetery in the Spring.

looked by Eco’s book-filled house.

French President Francois Hollande remembered Eco as “an immense humanist,” adding that “libraries have lost an insatiable reader, universities a dazzling professor and literature a passionate writer.”

Italian Premier Matteo Renzi said Eco “united a unique intelligence of the past and an inexhaustible capacity to anticipate the future.”

Italian author Elisabetta Sgarbi, who founded a publishing house last year with Eco and other Italian writers, called him “a great living encyclopedia” who taught young people “the capacity to love discoveries and marvels.”

Author of books ranging from novels to scholarly tomes to essay collections, Eco was fascinated with the obscure and the mundane, and his books were both engaging narratives and philosophical and intellectual exercises. The bearded, heavy-set scholar, critic and novelist took on the esoteric theory of

STATE 1st House GOP primaries to test anti-incumbent mood The ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON – When the calendar turns to March in this year of the irate voter, the first wave of congressional Republicans will find out whether they have their very own Dave Brat waiting for them.

Brat was an underfunded, obscure college professor who shocked the political world in 2014 by ousting House Majority Leader Eric Cantor in what was supposed to be a no-contest Republican primary in Virginia. He now holds the Richmond-area seat and is one of the chamber’s more conservative and recalcitrant members.

Next month, GOP House members in a crescent curving from Texas to Illinois face the first congressional primaries in this incumbent-bashing, anti-establishment season of

Rauner promotes plan to cut unfunded school mandates

LOMBARD – Gov. Bruce Rauner is promoting legislation he said would save Illinois public schools more than $200 million.

The Republican governor Bruce Rauner stopped at a Lombard high school Friday to show support for a plan to eliminate unfunded school mandates.

Measures sponsored by Republican Rep. Ron Sandack and Sen. Jason Barickman would eliminate restrictions on third-party contracting for services such as driver’s education. It also would give schools

billionaire Donald Trump and Ted Cruz, the leading Republican presidential contenders.

Nearly all House members are expected to survive.

But a few face contests being watched for possible upsets by conservative challengers.

Among them: Ways and Means Committee Chairman Kevin Brady of Texas, and Reps. Mar- Rep. John tha Roby and Shimkus Bradley Byrne R-Illinois of Alabama and John Shimkus of Illinois.

“It’s an open question whether we’ll see any serious candidates on the fringe right,” said Rob Engstrom, national political director of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, which has started TV advertising backing Roby and Byrne and could engage in other House races. He said that March 1,

Illinois to get $114M from federal gov’t for housing help

CHICAGO – Illinois will receive $114 million to help homeowners still struggling from the 2008 recession.

The Chicago Sun-Times reported the money is on top of nearly $450 million the federal government has given the state since 2010 from an $8 billion account called the Hardest Hit Fund.

Illinois Housing Development Authority spokeswoman Cami Freeman said officials have not yet determined how to use the funds. The U.S. Treasury Department must approve the state’s plans. Money may be used to help fix underwater mortgages, raze homes or help first-time home-buyers.

Eighteen states have received

when Alabama, Arkansas and Texas have the initial House primaries, is “a very important day to measure and determine what the score is.”

Mississippi House primaries are March 8, followed by Ohio and Illinois a week later. March 15 House contests in North Carolina have been delayed until June because of a dispute over redrawing district boundaries.

As usual, most incumbents have overwhelming financial and name-recognition advantages. In Texas, Brady’s campaign raised $1.6 million last year, compared with $64,000 for the best financed of his three challengers, pool company owner and ex-state Rep. Steve Toth.

That edge has long made most officeholders impossible

Arrest made in string of Chicago-area hair salon burglaries

NORTHBROOK – Authorities said a Highland Park man has been charged in connection with a string of burglaries of area hair and nail salons.

Northbrook Police Cmdr. Mike O’Malley said 26-year-old Alan Konwinski of Highland Park is charged with five counts of burglary, all for alleged Northbrook burglaries. It wasn’t immediately known if Konwinski has legal representation.

Earlier this week, authorities said 70 burglaries of hair and nail salons have occurred in and around Chicago since August.

Police said all of the crimes appeared to be the work of the same two people. Police said the pair would smash front doors, then enter and rifle through cash registers.

Authorities said a tip relayed

to topple. In 2014, just five sitting House members were defeated in party primaries. But 2016 poses a new test, with voters’ ill feelings toward Washington, fanned by Trump and Cruz, fueling conservatives’ hopes of defeating Republicans deemed too willing to cut deals.

“The frustration and anger that’s out there would indicate that this is the year you get beat from the right,” said Rep. Mark Meadows, R-N.C., like Brat a member of the rebellious House Freedom Caucus that last year helped push House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, to resign from Congress. “If you don’t get beat this year, you will be golden for a long time.”

The surly mood has prompted the conservative Club for Growth to run hundreds of thousands of dollars’ worth of TV ads attacking Shimkus and Rep. Renee Ellmers in a now-delayed North Carolina race. Club commercials also back conservative Warren

Davidson’s bid for Boehner’s vacant seat in western Ohio, which if successful would be a symbolic coup.

Other groups including FreedomWorks, Citizens United Political Victory Fund and the Senate Conservatives Fund are also helping conservative contenders.

In southern Illinois, the $1.3 million Shimkus reported raising last year was nearly 10 times what challenger Kyle McCarter reported collecting.

But playing on anti-incumbent fever, a Club for Growth ad targeting the 10-term veteran lawmaker said, “A guy who’s been in Washington 20 years ain’t going to fix it.”

In a recent interview, Shimkus countered by citing his supporters.

“If you’re endorsed by the National Right to Life, by the NRA and the Farm Bureau, it’s hard for anybody to say you’re not representing the district,” he said.

Chicago seeks control of vacant old Post Office site

CHICAGO – The city of Chicago is taking steps to seize control of the massive old main Post Office, which has sat vacant and deteriorating for more than two decades.

Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s office said in a news release Saturday the city is seeking to take control of the 11-acre site from a private developer through the eminent domain process.

Emanuel said the city will also issue a call for bids to redevelop what he called “one of Chicago’s iconic structures.”

International Property Developers North America Inc. bought the property in 2009 and has drawn up plans to transform the building into a retail, residential and entertainment center.

But the city said no work was ever completed.

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS Harper Lee buried in Alabama hometown

MONROEVILLE, Ala. – The author of the America classic “To Kill a Mockingbird” was laid to rest Saturday in a private ceremony attended by only the closest of friends and family, a reflection of how she had lived.

Harper Lee, who died Friday at age 89, was eulogized at a church in the small Alabama town of Monroeville, which the author used as a model for the imaginary town of Maycomb, the setting of Lee’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel.

A few dozen people who comprised Lee’s intimate circle gathered at the First United Methodist Church to hear a eulogy Saturday by her longtime friend and history professor, Wayne Flint. Afterward, her casket was taken by silver hearse to an adjacent cemetery where her father, A.C. Lee and sister, Alice Lee, are buried.

2 NYPD officers shot after confronting gunman

NEW YORK – Two police officers were shot in a confrontation with a gunman who slammed his car into a police vehicle early Saturday, in the second on-duty shooting of multiple officers in the nation’s biggest city this month, police said.

Officers William Reddin and Andrew Yurkiw were in stable condition after the 3:30 a.m. encounter, which happened as multiple officers converged and fired at an armed driver who had pointed a gun at some of the officers, fled and then rammed a police car, Police Commissioner William Bratton said.

Police were investigating how many officers fired and the exact sequence of events, including whether police themselves fired any of the shots Britain sets date for that injured their colleagues. vote on EU membership It’s standard for police shooting LONDON – Prime Minister David Cameron said Britain will investigations to look into the possibility of what’s known as hold a historic referendum on whether to stay in the European “friendly fire,” and Saturday’s shooting unfolded in what Union on June 23.

The casket containing the body of the late Supreme Court Associate Justice Antonin Scalia leaves the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, D.C., following funeral mass services Saturday.

Scalia remembered as man of faith, family and the law The ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON – Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia was remembered Saturday as a man of faith, family and the law in a funeral marked by church ritual and pageantry for the conservative jurist whose larger-than-life personality dominated the high court for nearly three decades.

A who’s who of the nation’s political and legal elite was among more than 3,000 mourners at a funeral Mass for Scalia at the largest Catholic church in the United States. Vice President Joe Biden and 10 of the 11 living justices with whom Scalia served joined his wife of 55 years, their nine children and dozens of grandchildren on a balmy winter morning.

President Barack Obama did not attend Scalia’s funeral Mass, despite some criticism from Republicans. The White House said the decision is a “respectful arrangement” given the president’s large security detail and Biden’s personal relationship with Scalia’s family.

Scalia was buried later Saturday in a private ceremony at an undisclosed location.

He died unexpectedly last week at age 79 at a resort ranch in west Texas. He was the longest-serving among the current justices and the court’s most outspoken conservative.

His death has set off a tumultuous political fight over a replacement, and is affecting the presidential campaign. One Republican candidate, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, interrupted his

campaign ahead of Saturday’s South Carolina primary to attend the Mass.

The Rev. Paul Scalia, the justice’s son and a Catholic priest, presided over a traditional service that lasted more than 1 1/2 hours and dispensed with eulogies that Scalia himself had said he did not like. Instead, his son spoke with reverence and humor about Scalia as a father and Catholic who saw “no conflict between faith and the love of one’s country.”

Scalia regarded the founding of the United States as “a blessing – a blessing quickly lost when faith is banned from the public square or when we refuse to bring it there,” his son said.

As a father, “he loved us and sought to show that love and sought to share the blessing of the faith he treasured,” he said.

“Sure he forgot our names at times or mixed them up, but there are nine of us,” Paul Scalia said to laughter from the crowd at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception.

The Catholic priest assured the many lawyers in the audience who may have felt the sting of Scalia’s barbed questions during Supreme Court arguments that he shared their pain. “The Roman collar was not a shield against his criticism,” Paul Scalia said.

During his homily, Scalia’s son recalled how his father reacted once after accidentally standing in his son’s confessional line.

“He quickly departed it. As he put it later, ‘Like heck if I’m confessing to you,’” the younger Scalia said. “The feeling was mutual.”

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump speaks during a South Carolina Republican primary night event Saturday in Spartanburg, S.C. Trump is the winner in the South Carolina Republican primary.

For both parties, the 2016 election has laid bare voters’ anger with the political establishment and the influence of big money in the political system.

The public mood has upended the usual political order, giving Sanders and Trump openings while leaving more traditional candidates scrambling to find their footing.

Trump’s victory comes after a week in which he threatened to sue one rival, accused former President George W. Bush of lying about the Iraq war and even tussled with Pope Francis on immigration. His victory was another sign that the conventional rules of politics often don’t apply to the brash

billionaire.

Trump was backed by nearly 4 in 10 of those who were angry at the federal government, and a third of those who felt betrayed by politicians in the Republican Party.

For Cruz, even a second-place finish in South Carolina would be something of a disappointment. The state was his first test of whether his expensive, sophisticated get-out-the-vote operation could overtake Trump in a Southern state, where the electorate is tailor-made for the uncompromising conservative Texas senator.

Florida’s Rubio was seeking to position himself as the more mainstream

• Sunday, February 21, 2016

COLUMBIA, S.C. – Donald Trump claimed a big victory in South Carolina’s Republican primary Saturday, deepening his hold on the GOP presidential field as the race barreled into the South. “Let’s put this thing away,” he shouted to cheering supporters.

Out West, Hillary Clinton pulled out a crucial win over Bernie Sanders in Nevada’s Democratic caucuses, easing the rising anxieties of her backers. At a raucous victory rally in Las Vegas, Bernie she lavished praise on Sanders her supporters and declared, “This one is for you.”

The victories put Clinton and Trump in strong positions as the 2016 presidential election barreled toward the March 1 Super Ted Cruz Tuesday contests, a delegate-rich voting bonanza. But South Carolina marked the end for Jeb Bush, the one-time Republican front-runner and member of a prominent political family, who withdrew Jeb Bush from the race.

“I firmly believe the American people must entrust this office to someone who understands that whoever holds it is a servant, not the master,” Bush told supporters in an emotional speech.

Trump’s strong showing in South Carolina marked his second straight victory in the Republican primaries and strengthened his unexpected claim on the GOP nomination. No Republican in recent times has won New Hampshire and South Carolina and then failed to win the nomination.

“There’s nothing easy about running for president,” Trump said at his victory rally. “It’s tough, it’s nasty, it’s mean, it’s vicious. It’s beautiful – when you win it’s beautiful.”

Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio, a pair of freshman senators, were fighting for second place. Bush and other candidates lagged far behind.

alternative to Trump and Cruz, candidates many GOP leaders believe are unelectable in November. Rubio scored the endorsements of several prominent South Carolina politicians, including Gov. Nikki Haley, overcoming a dismal debate performance two weeks ago that raised serious questions about his candidacy.

South Carolina was a bitter disappointment for Bush, who campaigned alongside members of his famous family, which remains popular in the state.

Although Bush was once considered a well-funded front-runner for the GOP nomination, new fundraising reports out Saturday showed that donations to his super PAC had largely stalled.

Also in the mix was Ohio Gov. John Kasich, who had low expectations in South Carolina and was looking toward more moderate states that vote later in March. Retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson vowed to stay in the race, despite a single-digit showing.

The crowded Republican contest was a contrast to the head-to-head face-off among Democrats. Clinton has emerged a favorite of those seeking an experienced political hand, while Sanders is emerging young voters and others drawn to his call of a political and economic revolution.

The Nevada results highlighted Clinton’s strength with black voters, a crucial Democratic electorate in the next contest in South Carolina, as well as several Super Tuesday states. The Hispanic vote was closely divided between Sanders and Clinton.

According to the entrance polls of voters, Clinton was backed by a majority of women, college-educated voters, those with annual incomes over $100,000, moderates, voters aged 45 and older and non-white voters. Sanders did best with men, voters under 45 and those less affluent and educated.

The former secretary of state also captured the backing of voters who said electability and experience were important in their vote. But in a continuing sign of Clinton’s vulnerability, Sanders did best with voters looking for a candidate who is caring and honest.

Sanders congratulated Clinton on her victory, but then declared that “the wind is at our backs. We have the momentum.” With a vast network of small donors, Sanders has the financial resources to stay in the race for months.

Clinton’s win means she will pick up at least 19 of Nevada’s 35 delegates.

She already holds a sizeable lead in the delegate count based largely on her support from superdelegates – the party leaders who can support the candidate of their choice, no matter the outcome of primaries and caucuses.

Dear Mr. Berko: We’re 59 and both retired with a decent municipal pension. We have too much cash in our money market account and the adviser thinks we should buy 100 shares of NextEra Energy. This stock has a low yield. So I looked up a real estate stock called CBL & Associates that pays 9.8 percent. Please tell us what you think about this stock and if would be good to use $15,000 and buy 1,400 shares of this real estate company because the yield is more than three times higher. – NE: Akron, Ohio Dear NE: Your broker’s NextEra

(NEE-$111) is an excellent and classy recommendation. Your adviser sounds like a good guy since he hasn’t recommended an annuity or high-load bond fund. By comparison, CBL & Associates Properties, Inc. (CBL-$10.00) can’t hold a candle to NEE. CBL & Associates Properties is a publicly traded real estate investment trust that owns a portfolio of enclosed and open-air malls. It’s also the REIT in which Tennessee Republican Senator Bob Corker and his family, just a few years

TAKING STOCK Malcolm Berko ago, initiated 70 short-term trades and profited by multiple millions of dollars. It’s suggested that Bob’s real estate background, while he was mayor of Chattanooga (2001 to 2005), also earned him similar favors. Let’s face it, Bob’s probity is no higher than most members of Congress. He’s a sleazy, deceitful con artist with a silver tongue who was elected by “stupids.” This is America’s most significant problem: The election of Congress and the presidency is determined by voters whose favorite TV programs are filled with Kardashians and Jerry Springer.

Between 2004 and 2005, while Bob was doing his mayoral bit in Chattanooga, CBL was trading in the high $70s to the high $80s, then split 2 for 1 that summer. CBL owns, has interests in and/or manages 147 properties and is an active developer of new regional properties, open-air centers and lifestyle community centers,

primarily in the southeast.

Today, CBL is trading close to its 6-year low and management believes in 2016 it will book $986 million in revenues, $2.32 in share earnings and increase the dividend by 2 cents a quarter to $1.14. Its bonds carry a BBB rating by S&P, as do the unsecured notes of its Limited Partnership. I agree with this rating. CBL has a book value of $8.48 a share and over $400 million in operating cash flow, which speaks well of management.

According to the Street’s consensus of 11 brokers, CBL has a median target price of $13 so the shares trade less than 5 times earnings. And that worries me. However, those earnings are substantial enough to assure investors that their payout appears safe. The current $1.06 dividend yields 10.6 percent and an expected $1.14 dividend in 2016 may give buyers at today’s price an 11.4 percent yield.

This looks like a Jim dandy, safe yield, and Bob’s obvious influence from his senatorial position may be the reason why 21 hedge funds have good positions in the stock. So even at second glance it appears CBL may

be an acceptable gamble for those who can afford above average risks.

I’m not as knowledgeable about CBL as Bob and I don’t know if Bob still owns a block of stock. A 10.6 percent current return is attractive especially when projected earnings are expected to come in at $2.32 a share. That sounds like fantastic return; however, “when some things sound too good to be true, sometimes they’re not!” So I called Bob’s office in Washington (1-202-224-3344) to ask if he thinks if it’s a good time to purchase CBL. Bob wasn’t there and because the person who answered the phone sounded like a 15-year-old intern, I left a message and my name. Bob hasn’t called back.

CBL and NEE are as different as cheese and chalk. But my gut tells me that NEE may split and is a far superior long-term investment. Still, if you’re able to handle above-average risks I’d prefer CBL. However, I like both.

OPINIONS OUR VIEW

Drone flights could land pilots, inmates in trouble It never ceases to amaze us that as new technology comes onto the market, criminals figure out how to use it for nefarious purposes.

Take drones, for example.

The small, remote-controlled hovering aircraft have been put to many positive uses, such as providing aerial views of crops in the field, helping to search for missing persons, and taking photographs from a bird’s-eye perspective.

Of course, they also can be used for less-than-honorable purposes.

As drones gained wildly in popularity, it didn’t take criminals and their associates long to figure out how to use them to fly over prison walls to drop contraband inside, where waiting inmates could get their hands on it.

At least three documented incidents last year around prisons in Ohio, Maryland and Oklahoma point to the problem of drones in the wrong hands.

Drones were used to deliver such contraband as heroin, marijuana, tobacco, a cellphone, and hacksaw blades.

Hacksaw blades? Apparently, baking them into cakes is too “old school” these days.

Drones as contraband delivery vehicles aren’t the only problem. Authorities also worry that a drone could take detailed photos of a prison from the air that could be used to figure out ways for inmates to escape.

Enter state Sen. Tim Bivins, a Dixon Republican.

Bivins is sponsoring legislation in the Illinois Senate to crack down on illicit uses of drone aircraft in the vicinity of prisons.

One part of Bivins’ bill would add an extra year of prison time to inmates involved in bringing contraband into prison with a drone.

A second part of the bill targets those who would knowingly take aerial images of a prison.

That act would become a felony.

We’re not fans of trying to pass laws willy-nilly regarding new technology without there being actual threats to public safety.

But Bivins’ bill isn’t a knee-jerk reaction.

The bad guys have demonstrated that they’re willing to use drones to commit what should be illegal acts around prisons, so the law clearly must be toughened in response.

“It’s like anything, new technology brings new problems,” Bivins said.

Indeed.

There’s no need to drone on about Bivins’ bill. It deserves a full hearing, any improvements that fellow lawmakers deem necessary, and a timely vote for approval.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

Seeking profiles in courage If Justice Antonin Scalia could see the political reaction to the Supreme Court vacancy created by his death, he would be more disheartened than he would be by any likely liberal shift in the Court. Like you, I was stunned by the perfunctory tributes his fellow conservatives paid to this brilliant, remarkable jurist with a lifetime of exemplary public service – before plunging into a fight over his successor.

Their statements went something like this: “Justice Scalia was very able. My deep sympathy to the family. Now, turning to his replacement ...”

The first to cross the news wires was issued by Sen. Charles Grassley, reached at home by The Des Moines Register, which informed Grassley of Scalia’s death: “The fact of the matter is that it’s been standard practice over the last nearly 80 years that Supreme Court nominees are not nominated and confirmed during a presidential election year,” he stated.

Perhaps the pressure to comment on Scalia’s death caused Grassley to miscalculate the

VIEWS Donna Brazile “standard practice.”

The facts are that 28 years earlier, not 80, the Senate confirmed Justice Anthony Kennedy during the presidential election year of 1988. Additionally, 76 years earlier, not 80, the Senate confirmed Frank Murphy in 1940. Politifact rated the claim “mostly false.”

Truth didn’t matter. By the same evening, GOP presidential candidates Sen. Marco Rubio and Sen. Ted Cruz repeated Grassley’s never-before-mentioned 80-year rule. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell added a new layer, saying President Obama shouldn’t even think of replacing Scalia until after the election.

So it was that Scalia revealed to the country that all but one (Ben Carson) of the Republican candidates were in lock-step with the Washington establishment – part of the problem, not the solution – by each dishing up a steaming serving of gridlock and

Congressional dysfunction.

If ever there were a time to faithfully follow the U.S. Constitution, which Justice Scalia so revered, in replacing a justice, this is such a time. It is the perfect time for statesmanship, and the right time to show political courage for the good of the country.

Alas, political courage was not for Grassley, nor for more than half of the Senate. The Des Moines Register said, “This was an opportunity for our senior senator to be less of a politician and more of a statesman. It was a chance for him to be principled rather than partisan.”

But, said the Register, Grassley “chose instead to disregard his constitutional duty by rejecting a nominee who hasn’t even been named ... It’s wrong.”

Junior high history students may not know the term “sophistic argument,” but they can recognize a fake one. Within four days, cracks were showing in the Republican ranks, particularly among senators up for re-election.

Grassley amended his flat-out

cannot question the wisdom of the final action,” attorneys wrote in their motion. “Right or wrong, it is the decision of the board.” (Daily Southtown, January 22, 2016) Following that logic, there is no legal recourse to board actions, even if they voted to close all our schools.

Jefferson thought differently in 1776. When government works against the consent of the governed: “…it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it…”

And an institution named after Lincoln should consider his resolve: “… that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.”

Our schools have been called the lighthouses of our communities. Close a school and dim the lights of our society. Maybe we’re already losing our way.

CHAMPAIGN – A lot of exciting things have happened involving wrestling in Lockport during the past few seasons.

But on Saturday at the IHSA Class 3A finals at State Farm Center, the community had an historic matchup involving two local athletes with a championship at stake.

St. Rita junior Austin O’Connor, a two-time defending champion, met up with Lockport senior Shayne Oster, who won a state title a year ago. At stake was the 145-pound state title.

O’Connor got the only takedown, and then held off a late comeback try

by Oster to claim a 3-2 win to cap a 47-0 season.

“I thought that I was going to open it up a lot more,” O’Connor said. “I gave up a couple of takedowns at the edge of the mat and the one I did get I was happy with to get the lead first, that was my goal.

“I want to break every kid that I wrestle so they never want to wrestle me again, but I don’t think that I did that in that match. He’s a tough kid with a funky style that’s tough to wrestle against.

“During the match, I was thinking about trying to expand the score, but with him being funky, I didn’t want him to catch me in anything. I just had to keep hand-fighting and keep going after him, and I knew I had it.”

Oster, who finished with second-, first- and third-place medals the last three years, went 34-4 in a season where he missed more than a month due to injury.

“Austin’s a great wrestler and a great competitor,” Oster said. “I knew that it was going to be a tough match going into it, and that it would be backand-forth and anyone could win it, but it just didn’t go my way.

“Austin likes to break people’s spirits and make it so that they beat themselves in the match, and he’s really good at it. I knew he was going to try to do that, so I just had to keep pushing forward and just keep wrestling my way.

“This has been a big part of my life so far, and I’ve done a lot of growing here. I came in a slightly-above average wrestler and got beat up a lot my freshman year until I learned how to compete and do what I needed to to win.”

Two other seniors also came up a point shy in their first-ever trip to the state finals.

In the first title match of the night, Lincoln-Way Central’s Bryan Ditchman dropped a 3-2 decision to Hinsdale

Central’s Matt Allen in the 285 championship.

Ditchman, who took third a year ago and finished with three medals, finished 45-3 while Allen wrapped up a 45-1 season.

“I knew that both of us were looking for that small opening but it was hard for both of us to move each other,” Ditchman said. “He got the first takedown, and that’s all that you need as a heavyweight. I’m definitely proud of myself for getting three medals since I don’t see a lot of other heavyweights doing that.

“Obviously this year, I wouldn’t have wanted to lose to anyone else. I think either of us deserved it, so I’m glad that it was either him or me. I’ve been wrestling since I was four, so that’s 14 years of my life and I have to

give up the sport in college since I’m playing football so t will definitely be tough, but the sport will always have a place in my heart.”

In the very next championship, Plainfield North’s Marcus Povlick suffered a 2-1 setback to Montini’s Joey Melendez in the 106 finals.

Povlick finished with a 42-2 record after picking up his first state medal while sophomore Melendez finished 42-4 this season.

Another Class 3A defending state champion also came up short in his efforts to repeat.

Plainfield East junior Michael McGee dropped an 8-3 decision to Oak Park and River Forest’s Jason Renteria in the 120 finals.

McGee closed with a 34-3 record while Renteria, who placed second

each of the past two years, finished with a perfect 19-0 mark.

Plainfield South senior Eric Johnson finished with a 48-1 record after claiming third place at 220. Plainfield East senior Zach Krause took fourth at 138 to cap a 42-3 campaign. And Plainfield South senior Danny Saracco wrapped up a 46-5 season by taking fourth at 195.

In a battle of freshmen for fifth at 106, Providence’s Jake Lindsey (35-10) beat Bolingbrook’s Dylan Burnoski (32-11).

Also taking fifth were Lockport junior Abdullah Assaf (22-5) at 120, Providence sophomore Cole Smith (42-9) at 152 and Lincoln-Way Central junior Jake Dudeck (38-8) at 220.

Other sixth place finishes were turned in by Lockport junior Trevell Timmons (25-9) at 152 and Lincoln-Way East senior Brian Burns (40-9) at 182.

40 IHSA CLASS 1A/2A STATE WRESTLING CHAMPIONSHIPS

Coal City’s Kauzlaric captures Class 1A title

By CURT HERRON

cherron@shawmedia.com CHAMPAIGN – As his squad prepares to make another run at the Class 1A dual team title this week, Coal City wrestling coach Mark Masters couldn’t really ask for a much better showing from the Coalers as they wrapped up the individual part of their schedule.

Coal City finished with two state finalists and had four placewinners on Saturday at the State Farm Center.

Leading the way was champion Riley Kauzlaric (195), runner-up Joey Rivera (113), fourth-place finisher Jake Hiles (120) and five-place medalist Alex Friddle (106).

Kauzlaric capped the day for the Coalers by claiming a 9-6 win over St. Joesph-Ogden’s Wesley Kibler in the 195 finals to avenge an earlier defeat.

The senior finished with a 46-2 mark while handing Kibler his only defeat in 47 matches.

Rivera was hoping to repeat as a champion but he fell 11-7 in the 113 finals to Dakota’s Alec Henze. The Coaler senior finished with a 48-2 record while Henze improved to 25-2.

Freshman Friddle finished 42-5 with his fifth-place effort at 106 while junior Hiles closed with a 33-8 mark after claiming fourth at 120.

“We wrestled extremely well the entire tournament and got two guys in the finals again,” Masters said. “This was as prepared as we’ve ever seen Riley. In the last month, he was more focused.

“Joey had a real tough match and we made one mistake and gave up a five-point move and ended up losing by four. He’s a returning state champ and expected to go out there and win.”

On a night where 30-year former Wildcat coach Howard Becker was honored by leading the Grand March, Wilmington received a third-place finish from Nick Hawkins. The senior finished with a 37-2 record after capturing his third-straight state medal.

And Peotone sophomore Chandler Gartner finished with a 23-5 mark after claiming fourth place at 160.

In Class 2A, two area individuals ran into buzzsaws in the finals and settled for second place.

Lemont’s Egan Berta lost by technical fall in the 145 finals to Geneseo’s Hunter Grau. The Indian junior finished with a 43-3 record while Grau wrapped up a perfect 44-0 season.

Morris sophomore Cody Baldridge suffered the same fate in the 182 finals when he lost by technical fall to Washington’s Jacob Warner. Baldridge finished with a 36-7 record while Warner

capped a 43-2 campaign.

“I was really excited that I made it to the finals,” Baldridge said. “My brother (Kenny) made it his senior year. So the next two years I’m definitely going to train hard so I can come back here and make it back into the

finals. I met a really good wrestler who was ranked in the country so I tried my best against him. Getting this far was super-important to me.”

Lincoln-Way West finished with three placewinners, with Kyle Ruettiger leading the way with his third state

medal. The Warrior senior finished 38-10 at 145 after claiming his thirdstraight fifth-place showing.

West freshman Chris Kennedy also took fifth at 106 to cap a 36-11 debut while junior Gehrig Simon closed with a 32-9 mark after claiming sixth at 126.

nior Taylor Bailey, who finished 11th with a 2,618. It was Bailey’s second allstate award, as she earned the honor as a freshman.

“You can’t end your high school career any better than this,” she said. “We came together and held together this weekend. We never got down. We had each other’s backs and when someone didn’t throw a good ball, the next person did.”

A special moment in the tournament occurred when Taylor Bailey rolled her final ball and her father/coach, Jeff Bailey, came over and gave her a big hug.

“It’s the greatest feeling ever to win with your dad,” she said. “He has been there through everything. It’s such a different experience having your dad as your coach. This is what we dreamed of.”

“This is a very honorable feeling,” Jeff Bailey said. “Sometimes it’s hard to be the coach and dad, and it says so much about Taylor and how she has handled it. This is something we will share for the rest of our lives. It’s awesome.”

Senior Melissa March finished 34th at 2,503 and had a key third game in the morning session, rolling a 268 after a 140 second game.

“Everything was in my head early and I needed to quit thinking so much” she said. “I relaxed and just bowled.

This was so fun and it shows how hard

Junior Karlee Barton was 60th with 2,388 and senior Keylee Zukovich finished right behind in 61st with 2,368.

“I came in with all these seniors and was thinking go big or go home,” Barton said. “We weren’t going to let up. No rollercoaster ride this weekend. We went big.”

Zukovich, a senior, summed up the postseason best.

“We finished third at regionals, we were second at sectionals and won state.

We kept climbing the ladder – better each week. This means everything, we put our hearts on the line and the work paid off.”

Lockport, which trailed West by 213 pins entering Saturday, posted a morning-best three-game total of 3,261. It moved the Porters into second place and only 82 pins behind West.

The Porters started the afternoon session with a 969 and then shared a pair of lanes with the Tigers in Game 5. The two rivals had an intense matchup that

saw Lockport put up eight consecutive strikes only to be countered with West throwing 10 straight. West won the game, 1,080 -1,044.

“Joliet West was too much for us today, kudos to them on winning,” Lockport coach Art Cwudzinski said. “We battled all day and really made a charge in the morning. I’m so proud of this team.

Our two seniors struck out in the 10th frame and that is a great way to end your high school career. We rolled the ball well and just missed too many spares.”

Senior Nikki Mendez led the Porters with a 17th-place finish at 2,581.

“To bring another trophy home is amazing,” the Youngstown State recruit said. “It’s sad to be done with high school bowling. I’ve grown up with these girls.

We are so close.”

Lockport junior Paige Reiter finished 19th at 2,578 and sophomore Bailey Delrose was 54th at 2,456.

Youthful Minooka finished the first day at state in 19th place and did not qualify for Saturday’s six games. Indians junior Carmella Russell shot 1,246, freshman Kristina Sickler 1,167, senior Nora Russell 1,154, freshman Gina Russell 1,073 and junior Cheryl Eyman 1,027.

Lincoln-Way West senior Jessica Schram and Plainfield South junior Cassie Bucaro qualified for state as individuals. Schram shot 1,169 Friday, Bucaro 1,155 and they did not advance to Saturday.

ROCKFORD – The Joliet West girls bowling team proved that if you can make it to the finals, anything can happen.

The Tigers led the entire day Saturday and fought off charges from Freeport and defending champion Lockport to win the IHSA state championship at The Cherry Bowl.

It was the first bowling title in school history and the second state championship in three weeks for the school, as the West competitive cheerleaders won state Feb. 6.

West rolled a two-day total of 12,613 to claim the title by 137 pins over Freeport. Lockport finished third with 12,398 and brought home another state trophy.

Machesney Park Harlem was fourth, followed by Waubonsie Valley in fifth.

“I’m exhausted,” West coach Jeff Bailey said. “The girls wanted this and went out and got it. So much credit goes to my assistant coach, Larry Warwick.

He is the technical guru of the program and the adjustments he made were crucial and so important.”

Bailey also becomes the first bowling coach in Illinois history to win state titles with a girls and boys team. He was the coach at Plainfield South when the Cougars won the 2010 boys state championship.

“They both mean a lot, but right now this one is so tough to put into words,” he said. “I have been with this group for four years. We’re senior dominated. It has been a rollercoaster ride and we finished on top. This is so special. I’m sure I will think about this for a long time.”

The Tigers were led by the all-state second-place individual finish from senior Gracie Plese. She bowled a 12-game total of 2,736 (228 average) and finished only 13 pins behind Jessica Soskich of Buffalo Grove.

“I was never thinking about placing individually,” Plese said. “It was all about knocking pins down to score for the team. I believe that thinking about the team first helped my individual game.

“For four years, we have put in the work. We are all friends off the lanes and the togetherness of this team was evident from the beginning of the season. Winning the title with this group makes me fell so connected to everyone.

It’s absolutely amazing.”

42 BOYS BASKETBALL: JOLIET CENTRAL 43, SANDBURG 30

Joliet Central pitches 4th-quarter shutout

By TIM CRONIN

Shaw Media Correspondent JOLIET – Sandburg scored 30 points Friday night in the first three quarters against Joliet Central.

The Eagles were thereafter grounded. Central’s pesky defense, a man-toman that tightened as the game went on, scored a fourth-quarter shutout en route to a 43-30 victory over the SouthWest Suburban Blue rival in the first of three games in five-day stretch.

It was the third straight win for the Steelmen (13-10, 8-4) and fourth in five games. Sandburg (11-13, 4-8) saw its three-game winning streak stopped.

“I can’t remember us doing that, and against a conference team as well,” Steelmen coach Jeff Corcoran

said. “I don’t want to say we knew their sets, but we knew the kind of action they were going to try to run.

We had a game plan for it.”

All hands contributed defensively, but the triggerman on offense was sophomore Cameron Blackmon, who scored nine of his game-high 12 points in the final quarter. His steal and layup 39 seconds into the fourth broke the 30-all tie. Jose Grubbs scored off the next Sandburg miscue, then Blackmon scored off the next one, the one after that, and the one after that, the latter a 3-pointer.

“Defense, that’s our main focus,” Blackmon said. “We wanted to lock them up on the perimeter and shut 15 [Zak Razik] down. He scored most of their points last time.”

With 4:04 left, it was 41-30, and

Sandburg was thoroughly beaten.

The Eagles turned the ball over seven times in the final quarter and were 0 of 4 from the field.

Razik had a 3-pointer halfway through the first quarter and was held to three more shots the rest of the night.

For Blackmon, it was a return to an all-around game. He had started the first 21 games, but Corcoran saw a lull in his game, so brought him off the bench, albeit with the same number of minutes, in an effort to spark him.

Consider him sparked after the fourth-quarter outburst.

“I wasn’t in a funk at all,” Blackmon said. “I knew I had to prove myself to get back into the starting lineup. I was in a rhythm.”

The finish was a turnaround from the start, which Sandburg dominated.

The Eagles led, 12-5, after a quarter, Central shooting 2 of 12, with Malik Fuller’s six rebounds (of his overall 13) the only bright spot.

The reversal of fortune began with Taquan Sims’ back-to-back 3-pointers, the first with 2:11 left in the second quarter.

It gave the Steelmen a 15-14 lead, and the advantage grew to 20-16 at the half. Joliet Central led by five before Sandburg’s push, capped by Grant Glover’s 3-pointer, helped forge the tie after 24 minutes.

The final eight minutes belonged to the Steelmen.

Grubbs and Sims each scored eight points. Central edged Sandburg 42-37 in the sophomore game.

BOYS BASKETBALL: DEKALB 56, MORRIS 30

Morris sees strong start fade in loss to DeKalb

By ROB OESTERLE

roesterle@shawmedia.com MORRIS – In what has become a familiar refrain this season, the Morris boys basketball team opened strong against a talented team Friday night, only to see the other team take over later in the game.

On Friday, Morris (9-16,2-10) took a 14-13 lead at the end of the first quarter against Northern Illinois Big 12 rival DeKalb.

However, after scoring 14 points in the first quarter, the Redskins were able to manage just 16 in the final three quarters as the Barbs improved to 23-4 overall with a 56-30 win.

“It’s been the same script for a while,” Morris coach Joe Blumberg said. “We hang with a more talented team for a quarter or so, but we are just not able to sustain it. Give a lot of credit to DeKalb, though. They play outstanding defense. They are 23-4 for a good reason.”

One of those reasons is 6-foot-8 center Luke Davis, who scored six of his 16 points in the first quarter before picking up two quick fouls and spending much of the first half on the bench.

With Davis’ inside presence out of the mix, DeKalb turned to Michael Pollack’s outside game, and he responded with three 3-pointers and 11 points in the second quarter as the Barbs were able to outscore Morris,

Craig Lincoln for Shaw Media

Morris’ Jordan Miracle goes up for a basket in the Redskins’ 56-30 loss to DeKalb on Friday night.

20-6, in the second to take a 33-20 lead into halftime.

“In the first quarter, we had very few empty possessions,” Blumberg said. “Then we turned it over too

many times in the second and they made a run. We get Davis out of the middle and then Pollack gets hot and carries them. They just had too many weapons.”

Early on, it was the outside shooting of Morris senior Matt Walker that carried the Redskins.

Walker hit a pair of 3-pointers in the first quarter and the Redskins committed just one turnover in the first eight minutes.

Besides the two 3-pointers by Walker, Morris got a basket each

by Tyler Spiezio (eight points) and JaQuan Boxley and four free throws

by Jordan Miracle (12 points).

The tight DeKalb defense took over in the second quarter, limiting the Redskins to just six points, all by Spiezio.

The Barbs lit up the scoreboard for 20. Pollack had 11 of his 14 points in the quarter, while Cole Tucker had five of his 10 in the same time frame.

“Our kids came into halftime frustrated after only scoring six points in the second quarter,” Blumberg said. “But we told them, great defense doesn’t take a night off. Hopefully we can learn a lesson from that.”

DeKalb kept the pressure on in the third quarter, as Miracle was the only Redskin player to score.

He had two 3-pointers and a drive through the lane for a hoop as the Barbs led, 47-28, after three quarters.

The Redskins, who travel to Sycamore on Friday, managed just a basket by Aurelius Lennon-Rios in the fourth.

CLASS 3A PROVIDENCE REGIONAL: JOLIET CATHOLIC ACADEMY 74, LINCOLN-WAY WEST 55

Angels top Warriors, win regional

By DICK GOSS

dgoss@shawmedia.com NEW LENOX – Senior forward Andrianna Acosta had little to show for her first half Friday night.

In the third quarter, however, her competitiveness came to the fore.

Acosta was a force defensively and scored all 11 of her points after the break to help the Joliet Catholic girls basketball team secure a 74-55 victory over Lincoln-Way West in the championship game of the Class 3A Providence Regional.

“I got in foul trouble in the first half,” she said. “I picked up two silly ones and had to sit the rest of the half.

“The coaches talked to me at halftime that I had to come out in the third quarter and be a spark. That’s what I did.”

JCA coach Nick Leonard took notice.

“Andrianna had a great second half,” he said. “She did a great job defensively.

She took command. She was the turning point.”

The result is a matchup for the Angels (17-8) against highly regarded and talented Morgan Park in the 6 p.m. Monday semifinal at the Peotone Sectional.

“This is awesome, the best feeling

in the world,” JCA senior guard Mia Farrell said. “We don’t have that great of a record, but if we play like we did tonight, especially in the second half, where we took care of the little things, we’re a good team.”

Acosta picked up her second foul with 4:48 left in the first quarter and went to the bench. The Angels worked their way into a 39-29 halftime lead behind Nicole Ekhomu, who scored 20 of her 26 points in the first half. Ekhomu was 8 of 11 from the floor in the first 16 minutes, including 4 of 5 from 3-point range against the zone defense of Lincoln-Way West (20-7).

“There’s a reason she is a McDonald’s All-American,” Warriors coach Ryan White said of Ekhomu. “Nicole is hard to guard, and they have others who can score, too. We haven’t been a man team all year, so we thought the zone was our best chance.”

“It’s kind of a blessing for us to have a player like Nicole on our side,” Farrell said.

JCA hit 15 of 27 shots in the first half, 8 of 14 from beyond the arc. The Angels finished 28 of 49 overall, 57.1 percent, as Farrell, Kaitlyn Williams and Acosta provided Ekhomu with plenty of offen-

sive support. Farrell, in her third game back from a shoulder injury, hit 6 of 10 shots and 5 of 6 free throws for 18 points.

Williams scored 12.

“It doesn’t matter what defense we see,” Ekhomu said. “Basically, teams can throw anything at us and we feel we are prepared.”

Courtney O’Donnell, West’s 5-foot11 junior inside force, scored 24 points.

But guard Emily Atsinger, who totaled 10, was the only other Warrior to reach double figures.

“O’Donnell is skilled around the basket,” White said. “She’s crafty with her body.”

JCA’s defense had a larger purpose, however. The excellent 3-point shooting that West displayed in its 77-50 semifinal win over Providence two days earlier was not lost on Leonard and his staff.

“Three points count more than two,” he said, “and 3-pointers are momentum builders. Two-pointers, not as much. We knew that running out at their shooters would give 33 [O’Donnell] room to work, but we didn’t think they could score 70 points again without hitting a lot of threes.”

“That’s what we practiced, staying out on their shooters,” Acosta said.

The final turnover count was virtually even, with West committing 17 and JCA 16. However, the Angels converted Warriors turnovers into points with regularity.

“It seemed like when we would miss or turn it over, they would score,” White said. “You can’t give a team like that free baskets, or you’re not going to be able to match them at the end of the game.”

After JCA led 39-29 at halftime, Acosta fueled an 8-0 run that stretched the lead to 49-33 midway through the third quarter. A 6-0 run late in the quarter, with all six points coming from Farrell and Acosta, made it 57-38, and the Angels were on the verge of preparing for Morgan Park.

“The playoffs are interesting,” Acosta said. “Any team can win at any time.

They [Mustangs] have a good record and are ranked, but it’s all going to come down to who comes and plays. That’s who will walk out of the gym with the win.”

“We’ve seen Morgan Park,” Leonard said. “They are very talented. We know we have to play our best game. But our girls are feeling fairly confident, and they should.”

46 BOYS BASKETBALL: JOLIET WEST 64, LOCKPORT 53

Tigers ride fast start past Porters

By JEFF DE GRAW

Shaw Media Correspondent LOCKPORT – It was Military Appreciation Night as Lockport played host to SouthWest Suburban Blue rival Joliet West.

After a pregame ceremony honoring the veterans and each team warming up in camouflage school-colored shirts, West showed all the firepower early, scoring the first 17 points en route to a 64-53 victory.

Trevian Bell and Teyvion Kirk combined for 14 of the first 17 points as the Tigers held the Porters scoreless until a basket and free throw by Matt Smietanski (12 points) with 3:17 left in the quarter. Bell finished off his 12-point quarter hitting a 3-pointer as West (15-9, 6-6) led, 25-11.

“Right before the National Anthem, coach [Nick DiForti] came up to me and told me to get it going early,” Bell said. “Getting off to a fast start not only helps me, but the entire team. Everyone has the confidence to keep it going. We were aggressive early and we got back to playing the kind of basketball we did earlier in the season.”

Lockport (10-13, 3-9) was not done.

“Right before the National Anthem, coach [Nick DiForti] came up to me and told me to get it going early. Getting off to a fast start not only helps me, but the entire team. Everyone has the confidence to keep it going. We were aggressive early and we got back to playing the kind of basketball we did earlier in the season.”

Trevian Bell

Joliet West guard

The Porters outscored the Tigers, 9-2, in the first 2:30 of the second quarter and it was 27-20.

But the Tigers’ defense responded, holding the Porters to one point the remainder of the quarter and forced nine first-half turnovers for a 32-21

halftime lead.

“Our kids were resilient and they take pride in representing Lockport,” Lockport coach Brett Hespell said. “However, you can’t start the game down by two touchdowns and a field goal. It seemed like we were out of our element early, a deer in headlights. But Nick [DiForti] has them playing hard and well. We just need to start the game with a better mental aspect.”

Lockport closed to within 32-26 to start the third quarter on a 3-pointer

by Smietanski and a basket by Deiondre Taylor. West responded, scoring 12 of the next 14 points to go up 4427 with 4:40 left in the third quarter.

That would be the last Tiger points of the quarter as Lockport put together an 11-0 run to cut the lead to 44-38 entering the fourth quarter.

After West led, 49-40, with 6:12 left, the Porters cut the lead to 49-44 behind two baskets by Casey Schluseman (14 points). West then put together a 9-2 run and led, 58-46, with 1:51 remaining.

“We had a spirited week of practices and it showed tonight,” DiForti said. “We, as coaches, worked on a lot of little things and that helped.

We are learning what our strengths and weaknesses are as a team. It has taken awhile, but the kids are really grasping that.

“Tonight, we didn’t take as many 3-pointers, but took good shots [7 of 14 from behind the arc]. Our aggressive style forced them into turnovers [18] and it was good to see us playing like we did earlier in the season.

“Trevian asserted himself early and we have had talks about not going missing for two to three minutes at a time. We need to get him going early.”

Bell led the Tigers with 21 points and grabbed four rebounds. Kirk scored 17 and had six boards. Jason Bingham chipped in 12 points.

“We came into the game with a little chip on our shoulder since they beat us earlier,” Kirk said. “They went on a few runs, but we reacted well to those and stepped up the intensity on the defensive end. I wasn’t surprised with the fast start after the week of practice we had. We were ready.”

For the Porters, Brandon Credit added 11 points and Mikolaj Nowobilski had seven points and nine rebounds.

BOYS BASKETBALL: MINOOKA 49, PLAINFIELD CENTRAL 31

Indians clinch first Southwest Prairie Conference title

By DRAKE SKLEBA

Shaw Media Correspondent CHANNAHON – The first Southwest Prairie Conference boys basketball championship in school history.

The first conference championship in boys basketball since 1991. The first No. 1 sectional complex seed in school history.

Friday was a night of firsts for the Minooka boys. Led by Larry Roberts and Blake Parzych, the Indians rolled past Plainfield Central, 49-31, to clinch their first SPC championship since joining the league in 2005.

It was the Indians’ first conference title since winning the Little 7 in 1991.

Roberts had a game-high 14 points, with four 3-pointers. Parzych scored 10 points and hauled in four rebounds. Plainfield Central (3-22,1-12) was led by Myles Turner and Justin Windt with seven points each. Turner added five rebounds.

Before an American Heart Association Red-Out crowd, Minooka (208, 11-2) took a 27-16 lead at the half.

Following the advice of coach Scott Tanaka, the Indians came out strong in the third quarter.

“Coach Tanaka told us we were the No. 1 seed in the Lockport Sectional.

We were ranked 25th in the Chicagoland area,” Roberts said. “He thought it was about time we played like it.

We responded.”

With 7:11 left in the third quarter, Jonny Butler (11 points, three steals) hit a layup, igniting an 11-2 run. Roberts’ third 3-pointer extended the Indian lead to 32-16. A Parzych bucket made it, 34-16. Turner scored for the Wildcats, but Roberts hit a three-pointer, his fourth, for a 37-18 lead. With 3:04 left in the quarter, Nick Clemmons’ free throw gave Minooka its largest lead, 38-18. Game over. SPC champs.

“It feels great,” Jonny Butler said.

“Before the season, coach [Tanaka] said our goal was to put a number 2016,on our conference championship board in the gym. It feels great to have accomplished that.”

Parzych came out on fire in the

first quarter, scoring eight of his 10 points on 4-of-4 shooting as Minooka went ahead, 22-14. Roberts added two threes in the quarter.

“I had a size advantage over my defender and took advantage,” Parzych said. “It felt great to nail my first four shots. The only part of my game that I was unhappy with, was that I really wanted to hit my 3-point attempt.”

“Blake is really coming into his game, after starring on the football field this fall,” Tanaka said. “And Joe Butler is playing the best basketball of the season. What a great all-around game Joe had.”

Joe Butler scored seven points had five rebounds, four assists and five steals.

With 4:27 in the half, Jonny Butler scored the first two points of the quarter for a 24-14 Minooka lead.

The Indians held the Wildcats to two points in the quarter and led, 27-16, at half.

“We really played great defense in the first half, “ Plainfield Central coach Steve Lamberti said. “We just

couldn’t hit our shots and the credit goes to Minooka. They play tremendous defense and are not our league champion for nothing. All my kids played really hard against a league champion.”

The 20 Minooka victories equal the 20 the 2011-12 team won under Tanaka. The Indians have 90 wins over the last five seasons.

“I want to thank every player that has played for me here in my eight years at Minooka,” Tanaka said. “Every one of them was part of the building process that has culminated in this conference championship. I am truly grateful for coach [Jon] Monti and all our coaches.

“I have a tremendous, hard-working group of players that have bought into what we are trying to do. We are honored to have received the top seed in the Lockport Sectional and hope to make a run in the state tournament.

“I want to give credit to my senior, Hunter Hoffman. His hard work and tenacity in practice has made every one of our players better.”

Lewis women find way to keep streak alive

By DICK GOSS

dgoss@shawmedia.com ROMEOVILLE – For much of Saturday afternoon’s Great Lakes Valley Conference matchup at Neil Carey Arena, the basketball gods were intent on ending the Lewis women’s basketball team’s 20-game winning streak.

The Flyers, however, had other plans.

All-American Mariyah Brawner-Henley was every bit of that down the stretch as she willed Lewis to a 56-49 overtime victory over Saint Joseph’s.

Brawner-Henley’s layup off a pass from Jessica Kellliher with 39 seconds left tied the game at 48-48 and sent it into overtime as both teams missed opportunities to end it in regulation.

She then hit a 15-foot jumper and two free throws as the Flyers (26-1, 17-0)

outscored the Pumas (18-9, 11-6), 8-1, in the overtime.

Even more importantly, the 6-foot senior made a couple of huge defensive plays down the stretch in regulation against Saint Joseph’s 6-0 junior forward Kalea Parks. All Parks did was score 32 points on 13-of-27 shooting, but her 8-footer with 2:22 left in regulation, which gave St Joseph’s a 48-43 lead, was the Pumas’ final field goal.

“I wanted to take some things on myself in the fourth quarter, but I always rely heavily on my teammates,” Brawner-Henley said. “The coaches made defensive adjustments for me. I listened, took them to heart and we got some stops and won the game.”

“Mo told me in the fourth quarter that she wanted to take Parks, that she thought she [could] handle her,” Lewis coach Kristen Gillespie said. “When

your best player feels confident, that’s a good thing.”

Brawner-Henley finished with 18 points and 11 rebounds. Kellliher led the Flyers with 21 points on 7 of 11 from the floor and 7 of 11 free throws.

She also grabbed eight rebounds.

The other offensive key was guard Alyssa Siwek, who celebrated senior day with 13 points and six rebounds.

She was 3 of 5 from 3-point range and all three came in the second half.

“I am so proud of Alyssa Siwek and how she stepped up, making those threes and everything,” Branwer-Henley said.

“You never know which of our guards is going to step up, and today it was Alyssa Siwek,” Gillespie said.

Lewis got off to leads of 6-0 and 11-4, but with Parks leading the way, the Pumas were not going away. She finished the first half with 14 points as

Saint Joseph’s grabbed a 24-21 lead.

The biggest lead in the second half came when Parks hit a 3-pointer – the Pumas’ only three in 14 attempts – with 1:24 left in the third quarter for a 40-33 lead. Saint Joseph’s also led 4843 when Parks scored her final points with 2:22 left. However, Kelliher’s traditional three-point play with 2:07 to go, a few Lewis defensive stops and Brawner-Henley’s layup at the 0:39 mark produced overtime.

“It was a little shaky, but tests like this prepare us for March,” Brawner-Henley said. “I’d rather have games like this.”

“You have to give St. Joe’s credit,” Gillespie said. “They’re the hottest team right now in our league. They have multiple weapons.

“But our kids never hung their heads. They stayed the course and stayed tough at the end.”

ROMEOVILLE – The Lewis men’s basketball team was flat in the first half of Saturday afternoon’s Great Lakes Valley Conference matchup against Saint Joseph’s at Neil Carey Arena.

Understandable, coach Scott Trost said, after the Flyers shot 59.7 percent and scored their most points since 2009 in beating Indianapolis, 101-89, on Thursday night.

But in the second half Saturday, Lewis (20-7, 13-5) looked like the team that has won seven of its last eight games. The Flyers shot 69 percent on 20 of 29 to finish at .565 overall on 35 of 62 in whipping the Pumas, 87-62.

“We finally realized that we can play in the playoffs,” sophomore forward Max Strus said of the Flyers’ recent surge. “We are finding our flow as a team. Every game lately we have had multiple double-digit scorers.”

Against Saint Joseph’s (9-18, 4-13), Strus scored 19 points, Miles Simelton 18, Delaney Blaylock 16 and Kyle Nelson 11.

“When we have more than two guys in double figures and a positive assist-to-turnover ratio, we’re a good team,” Flyers coach Scott Trost said.

“Miles [Simelton, the point guard who transferred in from NCAA Divi-

in transition,” Strus said. “Miles has been unreal the past couple weeks.”

Simelton said being on the floor with Strus has benefits as well.

“He’s a great player,” Simelton said.

“He rebounds, he averages 20 points.

That right there says a lot. He’s a great player, the leader of our team.”

While Strus entered Saturday averaging 20.5 points, Nelson was at 13.1 and Simelton and the freshman Blaylock at 11.5. Strus also is the GLVC rebounding leader at 8.8 per game.

“Max is looking at making his teammates better,” Trost said. “He is a special player. He has a chance to go down as one of the best we’ve had here.”

Lewis led, 33-26, after the sluggish first half but used an 18-2 run over a four-minute stretch midway through the second half to pull away and reach the 20-win plateau for a third straight year.

“It’s nice to get 20 three years in a row,” Trost said. “It’s a nice credit to the team. These seniors have put in the hard work. I’m happy for them.

“We played a good second half and got a good win. We helped one another defensively and did a decent job closing out [Saint Joseph’s shot .313 from the floor], and we wound up being outrebounded by one [40-39] after we were about 10 down on the glass in the first half. That’s a good hustle stat.”

48 BOYS BASKETBALL: PLAINFIELD EAST 70, ROMEOVILLE 60

Higgins, Plainfield East finish strong vs. Romeoville

By KAITLYN JASNICA

kjasnica@shawmedia.com ROMEOVILLE – It came down to the fourth quarter in Friday night’s Southwest Prairie Conference boys basketball showdown between Romeoville and Plainfield East.

Romeoville senior Matt Cappelletti opened the game with back-to-back baskets for a 5-0 Spartans’ lead. Lee Higgins had an answer, however, as the senior led East to a 70-60 win behind a 23-point performance.

“I was feeling it,” Higgins said. “After the first three, I knew the shots were going to keep falling so I just kept shooting.

Confidence stepped in. They were falling tonight.”

“I thought that Romeoville really took it to us early. The first two baskets, they were up 5-0,” East coach Branden Adkins said. “We got some opportunities in transition to score some baskets which we thought we would be able to do tonight.

“I’m glad the way that we did that.

Really for the entire time, we pushed the basketball and made the tempo the way we wanted to play.”

The Bnegals’ senior trio helped set that tempo. Behind Higgins, Jordan Reed scored 17 points and Elyjah Goss added 15 points to go with three blocks.

Trailing 5-0, Reed was the first to get on the board for East (13-11). Right after that, Goss went up for his first block to give the Bengals momentum to outscore Romeoville, 19-6, in the next six minutes.

The Spartans (8-16) came storming back, however.

Trailing 19-11 with less than two remaining in the first quarter, Cappelletti hit back-to-back threes to tighten the gap. Sophomore Kahlil Blakney hit a three to put Romeoville within 21-20 entering the second quarter.

The next eight minutes were evenly played and the Bengals led, 35-34, at half.

Higgins, Reed and Goss all started contributing points, however, which led to a good second half.

“We sort of built a little trio,” Reed said. “When we get it going, everyone

BOYS BASKETBALL: PLAINFIELD NORTH 78, OSWEGO 76 (2 OT)

else follows. When we start off good, we have a better chance to win.”

Goss tallied six of his 15 points, including a slam dunk, to fire up his team in the third quarter.

Still, Romeoville was still able to battle and keep the game close. Blakney hit another three with the clock winding down, and Romeoville was down, 50-48.

It looked like another quarter down, another extremely close score. That’s when Higgins hit a three at the buzzer, and the Bengals had a five-point lead.

They had more momentum going into the final eight minutes, and in the final four minutes, they pulled away.

“That’s our story,” Spartans coach Marc Howard said. “In the fourth quarter, it was a four-point game with four or so minutes to go and we just fell apart.

We’ve got to get over the hurdle that we’ve been struggling to get over. Making better decisions down the stretch, taking care of the ball.

“We have to understand execution.

We have to understand moving the ball, getting the great quality shot instead

of the highly contested shot. Those are things we strive to get better on as a team. If we do that, we’ll be a better team.”

Freshman Collin Reed added eight points for East.

Cappelletti led the Spartans with 20 points. Sophomore Dontia Johnson had eight of his 12 points in the second half.

London Stamps added 10 points and Blakney eight.

“Hopefully as a team we’ll get stronger,” Cappelletti said. “Get some chemistry going because we all have the goal to win the regional. I think we’re on the right path. Hopefully we can get that good week of practice, finish out the last few games strong and build some momentum going into the regionals.”

East already has started building its momentum for post-season and has won four consecutive games.

“We were able to grind it out,” Adkins said. “That’s what this team has done recently. We’ve got four in a row now. We’re really gaining momentum going into the postseason.”

Plainfield N. wins in 2OT USF women share title, men win CCAC outright

By KRISTIN SHARP

OSWEGO – The Plainfield North boys’ basketball team is looking for respect, and the Tigers continued to build their case with Friday’s performance.

The Tigers were red hot from beyond the arc and almost flawless from the foul line to make the difference in a 78-76 double-overtime win over Southwest Prairie Conference foe Oswego.

Plainfield North (15-9, 9-4) thus moved into sole possession of second place in the league behind champion Minooka, which locked in the title Friday with a victory over Plainfield Central.

Oswego (16-8, 8-5), the No. 4 seed in the Lockport Sectional, drops from contention for second place in the SPC after an 0-2 season against Plainfield North.

The Tigers are seeded sixth in the sectional.

“We felt like not a lot of people think we’re that good,” Plainfield North coach Bob Krahulik said. “We’re 15-9 now. We beat Bolingbrook. What do we have to do to get a little respect?”

The game stretched into a second overtime when Oswego’s Malique Ross (22 points) drained a 3-pointer with 1 second remaining. After two free throws from Bradlee Mills, Justin Wilson (17 points) drove inside for a layup to put the Tigers up, 75-71.

In contrast to North’s 10-for-15 effort at the line, Oswego struggled and shot a combined 2 for 8 in both overtime periods. After a series of missed free throws, Oswego’s Jaylen Jones came up with a steal and assist to Derrick Chaney to create a 75-74 game.

A layup from Ross gave Oswego the lead with :15 to play. North took its time setting up the game-winner – a 3-pointer off the fingers of Henry Thompson. With :07 remaining, Oswego could not get get open for a late shot attempt before the final horn.

“They took a one-point lead [76-75] and I was going to call timeout like three times, but our best form of offense all year has been in transition so instead of letting them get set up defensively, we decided to let them go,” Krahulik said.

“I saw we had openings there and we got a good look, and he hit it. It was a huge shot.”

Oswego built a 26-23 halftime lead and led by five several times in the third quarter, but a 3-pointer from Kevin Krieger (22 points) put Plainfield North ahead, 50-49, early in the fourth quarter.

The lead changed possession for the final five minutes with big shots by Oswego’s Steven Frank (22 points) and four late points from Krieger to create a 63-61 Tiger lead before Ross countered with a layup to tie the game at the end of regulation.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – It’s been 23 years since Joe Gibbs celebrated a Daytona 500 victory. Standing in his way now is a lineup as formidable as Howie Long, Marcus Allen and the 1983 Raiders.

Gibbs has four strong chances Sunday to earn a second Daytona 500 victory, and his stable of Toyotas has been among the strongest cars during Speedweeks. The main competition comes from Daytona’s favorite son – two-time 500 winner Dale Earnhardt Jr. and his Hendrick Motorsports teammates.

Denny Hamlin and reigning Sprint Cup champion Kyle Busch already have given Gibbs a pair of wins this week at Daytona International Speedway. But the three-time Super Bowl winning coach has had his heart broken nearly two dozen times since Dale Jarrett took Joe Gibbs Racing to victory lane at Daytona in 1993.

Gibbs isn’t used to losing – his only Super Bowl defeat was to the Raiders a decade before he won NASCAR’s version of the big game – and he has made it clear he wants a win in NASCAR’s season opener.

“There’s always pressure from Coach,” Carl Edwards said. “Coach wants to win everything.”

JGR’s lone defeat during Speedweeks came in the first qualifying race, with Earnhardt passing Hamlin with ease for the victory. Afterward, Earnhardt raved about his car – nicknamed “Amelia Earhart” because he feels unbeatable in that speedy Chevrolet.

Amelia has won four of six races over 13 months and never finished lower than third.

50 WHITE SOX

Avila, Navarro look to make an impact

By DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN

dvanschouwen@suntimes.com

GOODYEAR, Ariz. – Aside from his family, it seems there’s no one White Sox pitching coach Don Cooper cares more deeply about than his pitchers. So it stands to reason he wants them in the best of hands.

For what Tyler Flowers lacked as a hitter, thrower and pitch blocker, he called a good game, studied hard and paid great attention to detail to pitch sequences.

Flowers also worked hard at pitch framing and became one of the better receivers at turning borderline pitches into strikes. But the Sox, in almost desperate need to be better offensively, added it all up and did not tender Flowers a contract, signing the left-handed hitting Alex Avila ($2.5 million) and switch-hitting Dioner Navarro ($4 million) to oneyear contracts.

Neither frame as well as Flowers (who was backed up by Geovany Soto), although Avila has shown flashes of it during his career, and both know how to call a game.

“Avila caught Justin Verlander, David Price, Max Scherzer, Anibal Sanchez [with the Detroit Tigers],” Cooper said. “If he can catch them I’m pretty sure he can catch anyone we’ve got.

“Both those guys are experienced.

They played at major league level for a long time and caught top guys. Navarro caught [Mark] Buehrle [with the Tampa Bay Rays].”

And one more thing.

“I’m really excited about the possibilities of them helping us offensively and helping us score runs.”

Translation: If I see Jose Quintana get another no-decision on a seven inning, two run performance, I might rip the phone off the dugout wall.

Cooper said he had eight to 10 phone conversations with Avila during the off-

season. He made sure Avila had video on every Sox pitcher. The two discussed two or three pitchers in each talk.

“They were tremendous conversations,” Cooper said. “He wanted all the information – what’s the key to each guy? He’s into it.”

Because Navarro lived out of the country, those talks had to wait. But as pitchers and catchers were reporting to spring training this weekend, catchers were told what Cooper wants. Set up low and give a low target. Framing? It wasn’t the first thing on the list, but it’s like Cooper said, whatever you can do to make the count 0-1 or 1-2 instead of 1-0 and 2-1, he’s in favor of it.

Avila also throws better than Flowers, and with a .242/.345/.397 career slash line, will be a tougher out. He has been hampered by concussion issues and knee problems during his career but said he had no issues with the knee during the offseason.

“I was really encouraged by it,” he said.

Navarro rates at league average in the defensive runs saved formula. He has shown better in his career than his.246/.307/.374 slash line last season, and the Avila (better vs. righties) and Navarro (better vs. lefties) shapes up well.

“I just see myself as another catcher,” Navarro said. “I’m going to do my best and try to play as many games as I can. If I play more and I’m helping the team obviously, it’s great. I don’t care if I’m number one, number two, number three. I just want to play.”

Both will be welcomed in the clubhouse, Navarro for his upbeat, frank manner and Avila, son of the Tigers general manager, for mature leadership.

“I’m straight to the point, no [expletive}, what’s [on my mind] I’m going to tell you,” Navarro, 32, said. “I think that’s one of the reasons I’ve stayed around so long.”

GM Epstein rejects tanking method in Cubs’ turn-around

By GORDON WITTENMYER

gwittenmyer@suntimes.com

MESA, Ariz. – Cubs team president Theo Epstein isn’t the biggest fan of the term ‘‘tanking,’’ especially as it worms its way into the baseball lexicon after decades as a dirty word in the NBA. ‘‘I prefer ‘long-term planning,’ ” Epstein said. ‘‘Or ‘medium-term planning.’“ But there’s no denying the success Epstein’s Cubs and Jeff Luhnow’s Houston Astros had last season, reaching the playoffs using a general rebuild- Theo Epstein ing strategy traditionally reserved for small-market teams.

They proved so good at strip-mining their big-league rosters and tanking multiple seasons to gain high draft picks and large signing-bonus pools for amateurs that teams all over baseball are starting to follow their lead, regardless of market size and revenue streams.

The immediate added benefit, for the Cubs in particular, is that as many as six of 15 National League teams enter the season with no realistic plans of winning. At least four are run by front offices with no intention of trying.

With a ready-to-win roster and three possible entryways to the playoffs – the division title and the two wild-card berths – the Cubs’ path to the postseason has never looked so gilded. ‘‘I don’t know about that. I know how tough it is to get to the playoffs and how tough it is to win your division,” Epstein said, noting that the contenders all play similar schedule strengths. ‘‘It becomes a meritocracy at the end, and there’s a lot of hard work ahead and a lot of difficult teams to beat to get where we want to go, regardless of where they are in the longterm planning phase. You can’t take

anything for granted.”

That doesn’t mean the tanking issue hasn’t become a real concern for major-league baseball. It’s one of the most discussed problems in a year of looming union negotiations to replace an expiring collective bargaining agreement that – by the way – laid much of the groundwork for this incentive in the first place. ‘‘I don’t personalize it in any way.

Rebuilding is as old as baseball itself,” said Epstein, whose 2012-14 Cubs are the first large-revenue team since the advent of free agency to intentionally sacrifice full seasons for a future competitive window.

“We didn’t set out to lose. That’s not the goal. But I think we were accepting of where we were in the success cycle. We recognized the massive talent deficit that we had in the organization, and we understood the different avenues that we could take to fill that void.”

Never mind the competitive-integrity issues for a league in which such practices might become common.

(The NBA has long battled the issue, resulting in its lottery draft system.) In a sport without salary caps, the incentive to tank isn’t supposed to exist for teams with big resources and – often by definition – demanding fan bases.

But the new CBA in 2012 brought in strict spending limits on bonuses for draft picks and international amateurs, enforced by draconian penalties for overspending. Combine that with a stronger emphasis on young talent than at perhaps any time in history, and aggressive front offices had a natural course. ‘‘To develop a strategy, you have to understand the landscape,” Epstein said. ‘‘And so the next CBA will be a part of that. All teams do long-term planning, and once there’s a collective bargaining agreement, that will certainly define the landscape in which you develop and execute your longterm plan.”

McDermott leads Bulls to home win

Outdoor-game experience could pay off for Blackhawks

By JOE COWLEY

jcowley@suntimes.com Doug McDermott just needed a little love.

More importantly, the Bulls desperately needed a win.

Both got their wish Friday.

Thanks to a career-high 30 points from McDermott, as well as Derrick Rose scoring 26 points, the Bulls ended a five-game losing streak, beating Toronto 116-106 at the United Center.

To call it a must-win was an understatement, considering the Bulls came into the evening losing 14 of their last 19 games and were barely clinging to a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. The players knew it, and more importantly coach Fred Hoiberg knew it.

That’s why the rookie coach had a few heart-to-hearts with several struggling players following the walk-through, but specifically McDermott. With good reason. The 11th pick from the 2014 draft had a miserable January, in which he was averaging just 6.2 points per game and shooting 38 percent from the field.

So Hoiberg pulled him aside for a quick 30-second chat, and playing Doug whisperer obviously worked for the second-year player.

“Yeah, I felt it was very needed,” McDermott said. “Obviously, coach showing he has confidence in you means a lot as a player, and that just shows what kind of coach he is.

The lab is a media center that allows patrons to create their own video, audio and other media projects.

“It’s an increasingly bring-your-owndevice world,” Milavec said. “And we need to accommodate for that.”

Other features of the new proposed Plainfield library include introducing flexible meeting rooms that can turn into one performance space and a focus on programs for teens and adults.

A new-age media lab could include audio and video recording and editing capabilities, and a 3D printer. And an emphasis on open spacing could allow more room for library materials, computers and other library uses.

Continued from page 3 “I don’t disagree with the library’s needs to do an expansion,” he said, adding that he did, however, disagree with building an entire new library. “It’s just how they’re doing it.”

Meanwhile, Citizens for a 21st Century Library contends that the new library is needed to serve the ever-increasing population of the district.

would be spent on materials, whether that’s print books, e-readers or DVDs. The rest of the operations cost would be spent on utilities and other maintenance.

The library district contracted the help of library planning experts and architectural firm to work on cost and design, which still is preliminary.

Before settling on a tax rate for the referendum, the library board took an informal poll of its members, President Carl F. Gilmore said.

“The consensus was we wanted to keep the total under $200 per year [on a $300,000 home],” he said.

Comments at public meetings and a telephone survey about the library expansion confirmed the board’s feelings, Gilmore said.

“It’s important to note that we would raise operating costs by 19 percent for a building triple the size,” Gilmore said.

“And the staff has lots of past experience in being efficient with our resources.”

If the referendum questions fail, Milavec said the library could face serious cuts in staff and services to maintain the existing building for the next 20 years, Milavec said.

Significant construction work would need to be done to get the library up to the latest Americans with Disabilities Act and fire codes, including physical changes to the lobby and vestibule areas.

Outcomes

If the referendum questions pass, residents’ tax bill will go up starting in 2017, and the library will start planning in more detail, anticipating a construction start date in March 2017. Construction could last until late 2018.

The new building would be located at the north end of the existing property, and the old building would be demolished once the new one is up.

“We feel that the library expansion can enrich the community, increase property values and avoid cuts in library services,” said Heather Kazmark, an organizer for the pro-referendum group.

Library Director Julie Milavec also noted the public will have a chance to weigh in on the library design if the referendum passes.

“What I can say for sure is that the current library renderings will not look like the final product,” Milavec said.

cent cut to the operating budget,” Milavec said. “We’ve heard feedback that saying this is bullying or threatening, but it’s important to realize the building won’t remain operational in the longterm with the current systems in place.”

That situation wouldn’t bode well for staff and patrons.

“Just for the patrons, getting to the top shelf is hard,” Petersen said, noting that books are often stacked because of the limited space. “We’re pretty much tapped out.”

library expansion is a researched draft estimate, Milavec said. So it shouldn’t be viewed as the direct guidelines under which the library would construct the new building, she said.

That $39 million estimate includes about $28 million for construction costs; $4 million for architect and library planning services and other costs that encompass land acquisition of homes north of the library; bond sale costs; furnishings; integrating modern library technology; a $600,000 allowance of change orders; and an escalation cost anticipating a 2017 groundbreaking.

In addition to asking for permission to bond for a new library, the district is proposing a property tax rate hike from 20.52 cents of $100 of equalized assessed value of owned property, to 24.42 cents.

That will allow a 19 percent increase of the library’s operating cost and generate about $700,000 more in revenue per year, raising the total annual budget to about $4.3 million, Milavec said.

If both questions pass, the effect on a $300,000 home in the district, considered average, would be an additional $14.91 a month, or just less than $180 a year.

For a $150,000 home, the impact is $6.98 a month, or about $84 a year. A $400,000 home would be $20.20 a month, or $242 a year.

Milavec said the library will divide the total operations cost each year based on library standards, which call for 60 to 70 percent of the operating budget being used for staff. No less than 20 percent

SHOWCASE of HOMES

DREAMS COME TRUE, AT HOME IN LAKE FORREST

Among the many awards of this Dream Home in Shorewood is the most coveted in Chicagoland, the Crystal Key Award, presented in 2004 by the Home Builders Association of Greater Chicago, for Excellence in Housing Design. It also was featured in several scenes in the series “Prison Break”, broadcast (2005-2009) by 20th Century Fox TV. But its “fame” is best found right at home, in a true definition of “luxurious livability”. There is nothing this home lacks, and everything is built and presented with style, quality, class, space, custom materials and atmosphere.

Consider that it offers a huge and luxurious first-floor master suite with a sunken reading room, fireplace and marble bath; an amazing gourmet kitchen open to the hearth room and breakfast room with 8-foot palladium windows, and premium appliances, granite countertops, two island and select cabinetry woodwork; and a finished walkout basement with family room, game room, exercise room, wine cellar, home theater, custom English-style pub, and sixth bedroom with full bath.

Step outside and into another luxurious world of outdoor living.

Family-owned vault company dedicated to customers, employees

By DENISE M. BARAN–UNLAND

t 13, many kids are concentrating on schoolwork and fun with their friends.

At 13, Robert Knauer of Shorewood was coordinating graveside services.

“I’d get dropped off with the equipment and the casket and perform the whole service,” Robert said. “And then I’d get picked back up.”

Today, Robert still is working for Knauer Industries, a burial vault manufacturing plant in Joliet that employs four generations of family. Robert said it’s the only place he’s ever worked and he’s thankful for it.

“We take a lot of pride in making sure everything is good for the customer,” Robert said. “[The burial] is the very last thing you do for your loved one and you don’t want anything going wrong.”

A cousin bought the one-man operation in 1952, when the company was several years old. Twenty years later, the cousin offered the company to Conrad Knauer Sr. – Robert’s father, who yearned to own a family business – because the cousin wanted to move to Florida, Robert said.

When the offer came, Conrad said he was six months away from a pension.

Stick it out at Chicago Gravel Company or mortgage his house for the dream?

“I walked out the door,” Conrad said of the gravel company.

A family legacy

Today, of the 30 full-time employees at Knauer Industries, eight are family members, said Chrissy Knauer-Fisk of Joliet, who also works for the business.

They include two of Conrad’s three sons, as well as two granddaughters, one grandson, two grandsons-in-law and one great-grandson, she added.

Family who are employees are Conrad Knauer Jr., of Wilmington; Josh Fisk, of Joliet; Nick Rudman, of Joliet; Robert C. Knauer, of Plainfield, and

Tammy Smith, of Channahon.

One son, Louis Knauer of Arizona, recently retired, Robert said. But it’s not just family dedicated to the company: Many employees have worked at Knauer Industries for 30 years.

In the company’s early years, Conrad’s mother, Lucille Knauer (deceased), also was an employee.

“Even my mother [Arlene] worked there for 10 years doing anything that needed to be done, from paperwork to pouring concrete,” Robert said.

Robert said Knauer Industries makes every component of the vaults, including mixing the concrete. The only difference today from when the family bought the business is that the process is computerized. Another modern feature is personalized vaults,

which are done after the vaults are sprayed with water repellent.

“We paint it the color the customer chooses: gold, copper, silver, blue, pink, white – any color,” Robert said. “We’ve painted vaults in Bears colors and the Cubs colors; John Deere green is popular because the farmers have John Deere tractors.”

Robert said Knauer Industries manufactures two brands of vaults. One is Trigard and the other is Wilbert. Knauer Industries also produces cultured marble urns, he added.

Chrissy, Robert’s daughter, who previously worked in child development, joined Knauer Industries two years ago when the company had an opening in the sales department. She’s thrilled to be part of it.

“Everything I’ve ever achieved and accomplished has come from the hard work of my father and grandfather,” Chrissy said. “I’m proud to be involved in the business. It’s my way of paying them back.”

Customers first

Although Knauer Industries is cus-

tomer-driven, employees never interact with the customers; they sell only to funeral homes, Robert said.

Nevertheless, customer satisfaction is the main priority, even though the vault company never gets the credit.

“I always tell the guys: ‘If you do a good job or a bad job, it’s a reflection on the funeral home,’” Robert said. “The family doesn’t know us. We never meet with the family directly.”

Robert said he’s worked holidays, evenings and weekends to ensure products are ready when needed, because that need is unpredictable.

“Our customers tell us when and where to be,” Robert said. “We never say, ‘Oh, we can’t do it on that day.’ We get the order and we’re there.”

At 82, Conrad is on the job every day, gets dirty with the guys (“There’s nobody here with suits on,” Conrad said) and continually seeks ways to remain competitive and profitable.

“If you sit still, everybody passes you by,” Conrad said. “We’re not a company that sits still. We’re always doing something.”

Smaller hearing aids better Dear Dr. K: My hearing is going. Before I get a hearing aid, I’m told I need a hearing test. How will the test help?

Dear Reader: The hearing test (formally called an “audiological evaluation”) identifies how bad your hearing loss is in each ear. It also determines where the problem is worst. Is it with high-pitched sounds? Is it in distinguishing a particular sound – like someone speaking to you – in a noisy place? This is what the audiologist (a health professional specializing in hearing testing and hearing aids) needs to know in order to tell if you could benefit from a hearing aid and, if so, which style and type would help the most.

Before describing a hearing test, I need to first explain how the ears and the brain hear. When a sound wave enters your ear, it hits the eardrum.

Several tiny bones transmit sound waves from the eardrum through fluid into the inner ear. There lies a snail-shaped organ called the cochlea that is covered with tiny hairs. These hairs generate electrical signals that travel along the hearing nerve (the auditory nerve) to the brain. (I’ve put an illustration of how we hear on my website, askdoctork.com.)

The evaluation is done in a specially constructed booth that shuts out all unwanted noise. It tests the different parts of the ear that are necessary for hearing: • Pure-Tone Test . Each of your ears is tested separately by sounds of different frequencies and decibel levels. Frequency is the pitch of a sound. A highpitched sound is like a violin playing a high note. A low-pitched note is like the lowest keys on a piano. A decibel is the measurement of the loudness of a sound.

The pure-tone test identifies the quietest tones that you can hear at different fre-

quencies.

• Bone-Conduction Test . This test helps establish whether your hearing loss is primarily sensorineural (caused by damage to the cochlea, hair cells or auditory nerve) or conductive (caused by a blockage of sound transmission through your outer or middle ear), or a combination of the two.

• Speech Reception Threshold Test .

You will hear words, instead of tones, through your earphones. The words start out loud and gradually get softer. The test identifies the decibel level at which you can understand and repeat only half of the words.

• Speech Discrimination Test . This test assesses how well you understand words.

A high score on this test means your problem in understanding a spoken word comes from not hearing the word loudly enough. A hearing aid can correct that problem.

Today’s technology for testing hearing has improved greatly since I was in medical school. Even greater advances have been made in hearing aids. They not only work better, but they’ve also become tiny – people often don’t notice you have one.

For many of my patients, hearing tests followed by the right hearing aid have greatly improved the quality of their lives.

Playing ‘good dad, bad mom’ harms mother-son relationship Dear Abby: How do I connect with my son? He is 4, and he prefers his father to me. I generally “get” to be the bad guy – the one who takes him to doctor appointments, gives icky meds, enforces bedtime and keeps order.

Dad doesn’t even have to try to get affection. They are best buds. My son even asked me to go away so Dad would love him more. It stings. Aren’t boys supposed to love their moms? – Sad Mom In West Virginia Dear Sad Mom: Of course they are. Parenting responsibilities are supposed to be shared, and these days many men step forward and share those responsibilities. Your husband appears to think being a “bud” is more fun than being a father. Making you the “bad mommy” while he is the “good guy” is unfair not only to you,

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips but also to your son.

The two of you already should have formed a united front when it comes to discipline. If this is allowed to continue, your boy will play each of you against the other – if he isn’t already – and your problems are only starting.

Dear Abby: I am a medical receptionist with a university medical group. It is common for people to approach my counter and “hover” next to the person I am helping, listening to the information I’m being given without any regard to it being private. When I ask them to stand back,

they usually get upset with me.

I’m tired of people acting like it’s me who’s being rude. I could get in trouble by not speaking up because private medical information is supposed to be protected. Would you please inform your readers that standing and listening to people while they are being checked in for a medical appointment is not OK, and if they are asked to step away to not take it personally? – Tired Of Asking Dear Tired: I’ll inform them, but I have another suggestion to offer: Discuss this problem with your office manager and ask if it would be prudent to post a sign asking patients not to stand within 3 feet of the reception desk when waiting to sign in. That way the onus won’t be on you, everyone’s privacy will be protected and no one will be offended.

Dear Abby: I’m 12. I love dancing and singing, but my mom has told me many times I’m not good at it. It has lowered my self-confidence.

I’m now scared to sing or dance in public, although when I was younger, I would do it happily. What can I do to feel OK about my dancing and singing abilities? – Entertainer In San Francisco Dear Entertainer: Nobody starts

out being a star. Talent needs to be developed and nourished before it can blossom. If you enjoy singing and dancing, continue to do it – if only for the joy it brings you – and stop worrying about approval from others, even your mother.

HOROSCOPE

By EUGENIA LAST

Newspaper Enterprise Association TODAY – Worry less and contribute more. It’s what you do, not what you say you are going to do that will bring you peace of mind and respect. Face challenges head-on in order to achieve more than you anticipate.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Stay within your means and strive to finish what you start. Offer assistance, but don’t take on more than you can handle. Be realistic, moderate and true to yourself.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Take part in events or activities that will help you meet new people, and share your interests and experiences with

someone special. Romance will improve your state of mind.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Don’t take on jobs or responsibilities that don’t belong to you. Anger is likely to mount if you express your true feelings.

Wait for a better opportunity to confront a difficult situation.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Communication, travel and different philosophies, lifestyles and people will be enlightening, but do your research before you take a leap of faith. Romance is in the stars and will improve your mindset.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Money matters will be of concern if you have been careless with your cash or investments. An argument over a contract, legal matter or joint venture will not

solve the problem.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- A change to your surroundings, a trip and exploring new pastimes with children, a loved one or a friend are favored.

Personal changes will enhance your life.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Don’t take anything or anyone for granted. Find out whatever you can about a job or what someone expects from you before making a commitment. Uncertainty will hold you back.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Take on a project that will improve a situation that concerns you. Ask friends and family to pitch in and help you do something nice for someone in need.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Keep watch over what transpires when dealing with friends,

relatives or people who can disrupt your plans.

Be ready to do things differently if it will ward off opposition.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Share your feelings with someone you love. One of your ideas is best thought through before you act on it. High costs will stop you from finishing what you start.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Don’t lose sight of what needs to be done. A joint venture will turn into an interesting opportunity. Take a unique approach to the way you put your skills to use.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Explore new possibilities with someone you love. A partnership will lead to emotional stabilization. A trendy new look will lead to compliments that make you feel good.

All-new Malibu paves Chevy’s drive to leadership Chevrolet clearly wants leadership in the mid-size sedan, full-size truck and mid-size truck markets, and its 2016 models are huge leaps forward to that goal.

The all-new Malibu is the prime example, capturing a “wow” position at Chevy’s full-lineup display at the Chicago Auto Show. This review will also highlight changes for the 2016 Silverado and Colorado pickups, where the brand is also making clear advances over the competition.

The Impala-influenced Malibu design is much sleeker, with side creases for an almost windswept look, a more planted look from the front, and a longer wheelbase (3.6 inches) than the 2015 model.

Chevy also reduced weight by some 300 pounds, vastly improving handling, balance and fuel efficiency. Inside, the longer wheelbase allowed more rear seat legroom, and the dashboard is lower and wider, improving driver views and reach. Infotainment systems and noise reduction have been enhanced so Malibu can be anything from a rolling hotspot to a traveling concert hall.

A pair of engines is offered. The base 1.5-liter turbo I-4 engine with gas-saving stop/start puts out 185 horsepower, mated to a smooth-shifting six-speed automatic transmission. Step up to the 2.0-liter turbo I-4 and you get a hefty 250 hp and an equally smooth eight-speed auto.

A Malibu Hybrid matches a 1.8-liter I-4 with a two-motor drive unit, producing a combined 182 hp and a Chevy estimate of up to 48 miles per gallon city.

The five-passenger Malibu is offered in L, LS, LT, and Premier trim levels, plus Hybrid. The MyLink infotainment system with a 7-inch touchscreen is standard on LS, LT and Hybrid. MyLink with an 8-inch screen is standard on Pre-

mier and available on LT and Hybrid.

OnStar 4G LTE with Wi-Fi hotspot is standard on LS, LT and Premier.

Standards include cruise control, air conditioning, 60/40 split rear seat, tile/telescope steering wheel, steering wheel-mounted controls, power outside mirrors, power windows, acoustic window glass, 6-speaker audio system, power door locks, 10 airbags and a host of standard and available safety features.

The most prominent change in the 2016 Silverado 1500 is a bolder, more sculpted front-end design. Silverado is offered in WT (Work Truck), LS, LT, LTZ, Z71 and High Country trim levels, as well as the unique Silverado 1500 Hybrid, the industry’s only hybrid fullsize truck. Gasoline powertrains start with the 285-hp 4.3-liter V-6. Two Vortec small-block V-8 FlexFuel engines – a 5.3-liter with 355 hp and 6.2-liter with 420 hp – are available. Depending on engine, a six-speed automatic or eight-speed automatic transmission is standard.

Silverado is a workhorse, offered in two-wheel or four-wheel-drive configurations, with three cargo box choices (5 foot 8 inches, 6 foot 6 inches, 8 foot), and Regular, Crew and Denali cabs, which seat from three-across to five or six passengers. Enhanced trailering packages bring towing capacity up to 12,000 pounds.

WT, LS, and LT trim levels feature the “pure pickup” interior, while the LTZ and High Country feature more of a luxury-inspired interior.

Silverado also offers a full suite of infotainment systems, including MyLink, and the interior features a new center console with almost one cubic feet of storage space.

The 2016 Colorado, with taller bed-

The 2016 Chevrolet Malibu is nearly 300 pounds lighter and has a wheelbase that’s been stretched nearly 4 inches compared to 2015, making it more fuel efficient, functional and agile.

The 2016 Silverado, shown in Z71 trim, features a bolder look in front, but remains a real workhorse with enhanced tow packages that can haul up to 12,000 pounds.

Taller bedsides and a raked belt line are signatures of the 2016 Colorado, a mid-size pickup that can tow up to 7,700 pounds when properly equipped.

sides and a raked belt line, is described as “the younger, more eager brother of the Silverado.” Available in Work Truck, LT and Z71 trim levels, and in rear-wheel and all-wheel-drive configurations, Colorado’s base engine is a 200-hp 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine, but also offered are a 305-hp 3.6-liter V-6 and all-new 2.8-liter, 181-hp Duramax turbo-diesel. Towing capacity, properly equipped, can range up to 7,700 pounds.

All are mated to a six-speed automatic transmission, but a six-speed manual is offered on extended-cab, two-wheel-drive WT models.

Body/bed layouts come in an extend-

ed cab model with a 6-foot, 2-inch bed, a crew cab with a 5-foot-2 bed, and a crew cab with a 6-foot-2 bed.

New, standard technologies include forward-collision, lane-departure warnings and a backup camera. MyLink is available, along with a full suite of infotainment systems, and standard and available safety features.
