OKs plans for Water’s Edge

By BOB OKON

bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Most of the residents at Des Plaines Garden Homes in Joliet have moved out and redevelopment of the project is on track, according to housing officials.

“There are only 16 families left,” Eric Hanson, the attorney for the Housing Authority of Joliet, told the city’s Plan Commission last week.

The commission approved a planned unit development for the Water’s Edge subdivision, which will replace Des Plaines Garden.

The plan goes next to the City Council for final approval.

The commission also heard possible plans for riverfront park development and additional subsidized housing in the neighborhood.

Water’s Edge will be a 68-unit development with single-family, duplex and triplex homes.

Des Plaines Garden is a 122-apartment complex built in the 1950s.

The timetable, Hanson said, is to demolish Des Plaines Garden in April, begin construction on Water’s Edge in May, and have the new project completed in 18 months.

Some families could move in to Water’s Edge in early 2017, he said.

HAJ officials faced some questions from commissioner Fredrick Moore, who wanted to know what kind of recreation would be

provided at Water’s Edge.

There is no park planned for the project, although one could be added on property along the Des Plaines River, Hanson said.

HAJ leases the property from the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District.

“It is designated for recreation, and there are some preliminary plans for recreation,” Hanson told the commission.

Moore also asked whether any effort is being made to redevelop vacant houses along Des Plaines Street across from the housing complex.

James Haller, the city’s director of community and economic development, said the city has been buying houses on the street as they become available through tax sales.

“We are keeping the properties in our inventory,” Haller said. “The expectation is that the city will come in with a project where we’ll be developing single-family homes.”

Joliet has used federal housing funds in the past to renovate single-family homes and even build small subdivisions to make affordable housing available in low-income neighborhoods.

Des Plaines Garden residents received Section 8 vouchers that could be used to move anywhere in the United States where they are accepted. They also will be first on the list to move into the Water’s Edge homes if they want.

Residents at the housing complex began moving in November.

“The expectation is that the city will come in with a project where we’ll be developing single-family homes.”

Joliet vicious dog law to go to committee for review

By BOB OKON

bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A final version of a new vicious dog ordinance will be reviewed Wednesday by the Joliet City Council Land Use and Legislative Committee.

The proposed ordinance would require a dog be euthanized once it is declared vicious for an attack that kills or severely injures a human being or companion animal, although the owner could appeal in Circuit Court.

Additionally, dogs declared dangerous after two incidents in 24 months would be subject to a hearing to determine if they should be deemed vicious and euthanized. Dogs are declared dan-

gerous after a bite or menacing incident.

Penalties are being stiffened in light of recent incidents and community complaints about vicious dogs being allowed to run loose in neighborhoods.

City Attorney Marty Shanahan said he still is working on an intergovernmental agreement with Joliet Township Animal Control on how to handle vicious dogs. Joliet Township Animal Control is the agency that handles dog incidents in the city.

The ordinance would go to the full City Council for final approval.

The committee will meet at 10 a.m. Wednesday in the first floor planning conference room at City Hall, 150 W. Jefferson St.

Joliet nonprofit struggles to stay afloat amid Illinois budget crisis

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS

lleonecross@shawmedia.com

JOLIET – An already cash-strapped Senior Services of Will County is barely keeping its head above water amid an eight-month budget gridlock in Springfield.

Barry Kolanowski, the center’s executive director, was forced in recent months to lay off 40 percent of staff, limit office hours and cut salaries by 30 percent to maintain critical services. “[Gov. Bruce Rauner] talks about trying to protect jobs and keep jobs in Illinois, but it’s having an opposite effect,” Kolanowski said.

The center at 251 N. Center St. in Joliet is waiting on more than $300,000 in state payments for services provided after July 1, 2015. With an operating budget of more than $3 million, more than half of the center’s funding comes from the state, he said.

More than 2,000 seniors are no longer receiving regular visits from the center’s caseworkers due to the halved staff, he said.

“Our caseworkers go into individual homes to check on mental acuity and physical health. They are the ones on the front lines who qualify people for programs,” Kolanowski said.

Angie Moore, a caseworker at the center, said she and the rest of the staff took a significant pay cut earlier this year while increasing individual clientele bases from 200 to about 650, with new clients signing up every day.

She met with one of her clients, Kathleen Sinks, 68, of Joliet on a busy Friday as part of a yearly reassessment – a requirement so Sinks can continue receiving services.

“I don’t know what I’d do without them,” said Sinks, who added that several strokes over the years led her to Senior Services of Will County, which helped her sign up for home care assistance services.

Moore said Sinks would likely otherwise be in a nursing home.

“We are a lifeline for these clients.

We keep them out of nursing homes and allow them to remain independent and to live on their own for as long as possible,” Moore said.

The center’s caregiver support program is on hold because of a lack of payments to vendors, meaning clients’ needs are not being met in excruciating circumstances, including instances

Missed appointments and slow response times from Senior Services of

Will County resulted in one elderly couple in Joliet missing a recent deadline to reapply for Medicaid, so their coverage lapsed. The couple’s son, Joe

Randles of Bloomington, said he manages his parents’ affairs from afar.

Randles said he doesn’t blame the staff at Senior Services. After trying to reschedule a missed appointment since November, his parents were finally able to meet with a caseworker Friday – months after several services, including home care assistance,

PLAINFIELD

Support staff union rallies at D-202 meeting More online

By FELIX SARVER

fsarver@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – Dozens of Plainfield School District 202 support staff union members lined up near the entrance of the district administrative building Monday to rally against potential outsourcing.

Dressed in red and waving signs that said “Just say ‘No’ to outsourcing,” the Plainfield Association of Support Staff members and their supporters chanted as some district officials and board members passed by them to head into the building for the board meeting.

“Subcontracting will not divide.

We are standing side by side,” yelled Marty Paczkowski, a PASS member and custodian, through a megaphone at the rally.

District 202 officials’ announcement earlier this month that they were considering outsourcing custodial services came as a “complete shock” to PASS members, who have since planned to rally and pack Board of Education meetings from February to May. Board President Michelle Smith read a statement at Monday’s meeting saying she had to apologize to parents, staff and custodians “who have been misled by blatantly inaccurate information” about board members’ consideration of outsourcing.

John Piechocinski, Plainfield Association of Support Staff president (right) stands with other PASS members at a rally Monday at the Plainfield School District 202 administrative building.

“At no time has the Board of Education considered or discussed replacing our entire staff with outside employees,” she said.

She said discussions about outsourcing initially arose in response to concerns of a possible strike by custodians during the upcoming PASS negotiations.

The district is obligated to keep buildings open, clean and well-maintained and one way to do so in the event of the strike is to contract with a third party, she said.

“In the process of investigating how that could even be done, we learned that there may be potential cost savings of $1 to $2 million. With that large

of a potential cost savings, we are compelled by our fiduciary duty to taxpayers to fully understand the difference between our existing internal staffing and the outsourcing option,” she said.

Several speakers at the meeting spoke out against potential outsourcing.

PASS President John Piechocinski said to the board that if the district outsources custodial services they will never maintain high-quality employees or the same level of cleanliness, safety or security that exists now.

“We live in the community, we send our children here to school, we work here, shop here, pay taxes here, worship here and support our local businesses and community,” he said.

One speaker at the meeting asked if any board member has a connection with a custodian company. Board member Rod Westfall said no board members have “any tie-in with any outsourcing companies.”

“Even if we did, we would step back and not have any comments on it at all. Period,” he said.

CREST HILL

City Council gives Broadway businesses ultimatum to clean up

By VIKAAS SHANKER

vshanker@shawmedia.com CREST HILL – Crest Hill City Council members said they are fed up with the eyesore on Broadway Street.

But on Monday, they begrudgingly gave three auto shop owners until April 18 to clean up their properties of cars, debris and garbage. If the businesses don’t comply, the City Council may take legal action.

In September, the city gave several auto shop owners until the Feb. 1 to clean up their lots. During Monday’s review of the businesses’ efforts through before-and-after photos of the properties, the City Council commended a couple auto shops seemed to have listened.

More online Visit this article at TheHerald-News.com to view a video of the city council workshop meeting Monday.

But the auto shops at 1600 Broadway St., 1740 Broadway St. and 1812 Broadway St. didn’t satisfy the city council’s review.

“I’m sick and tired of all the excuses,” Mayor Ray Soliman said. “When I look across the street and see what [other businesses] can comply, why can’t anybody else?”

For decades, several auto body

shops have been non-compliant in adhering to the B-3 zoning district.

The auto shops have been selling cars But it wasn’t until 2010, when the city council hired a compliance officer, the city council started a process “We always hear complaints about how Broadway looks, and if we can get rid of some of the car repair shops,” Alderwoman Candi Thuringer said, noting that the city is doing its part by spending $300,000 to refresh the train viaduct area nearby.

Representatives of two of the business owners spoke to explain their situations.

George Lattas, an attorney representing A-1 Elite of 1600 Broadway St., said a recent death in the family has led to delays in cleaning up.

He noted that although the lot wasn’t completely clean, the cars still on the lot were out of sight of Broadway Street.

Soliman extended his condolences, but he and the city council were fed up with what they perceived as deception by the businesses.

After hearing the business representatives’ comments, Soliman asked Ward I Alderman John Vershay and Ward I Alderman Scott Dyke about their recommendation moving forward. The stretch of Broadway Street in question is within the first ward of the city.

They recommended a 45-day-extension for those three properties, which the city council extended to April 18.

Attempted murder trial begins for Joliet man

By BRIAN STANLEY

bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – After seven years of pretrial issues and arguments before an appellate court, a Joliet man is set to face a jury this week on attempted murder charges.

Bradley M. Schlott, 48, has been charged with the March 12, 2009, attack of his girlfriend, Kimberly Hurschik, who was stabbed in the neck with a knife at his home Bradley M. in the 1900 block of Prai- Schlott rie Ridge Drive after an argument ensued when he accused her of cheating on him. Schlott called 911, and police found a knife in a neighbor’s yard, according to police reports.

The case first was set for trial in 2012, and Schlott was jailed until 2013.

His defense attorneys, Chuck Bretz and Cosmo Tedone, filed several motions to have statements Schlott made and items police found kept out of the trial.

The appellate court agreed last year when prosecutors challenged Judge Amy Bertani-Tomczak’s decision to bar the defendant’s statements from his 911 call and DNA evidence from the knife police recovered. During the call, Schlott said the woman is severely

bleeding from a cut and later tells the dispatcher they had a fight, but does not answer when he’s asked if he cut her.

The knife was not submitted for testing until 2013, but the appellate judges felt nothing in the court records showed prosecutors intentionally withheld evidence.

On Monday, Bretz, Tedone and Will County assistant state’s attorneys Trish McKenna and Maggie Griffin reviewed with Bertani-Tomczak what evidence can be used in the trial.

Tedone said statements Schlott made to police while in his bedroom are admissible, but anything he said after he was placed in handcuffs is not. Schlott’s discussion of what police found in a box at the residence also is inadmissible, but prosecutors can bring up that he told them where the box was.

“The victim in this case said my client [committed] prior acts of violence against her, but can only refer to the two in the six months prior to [the knife attack],” Tedone said.

Plainfield fire district employee’s sudden death shocks friends, family

By VIKAAS SHANKER

vshanker@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – The Plainfield Fire Protection District lost a treasured friend when emergency vehicle technician Michael L. Ludemann died suddenly Sunday.

Fire Chief David Riddle said Ludemann’s wife, fire district inspector and spokeswoman, Mary Kay Ludemann, told him Michael Ludemann, 54, wasn’t feeling Michael well Sunday. Michael Ludemann Ludemann was taken to Edward Hospital in Naperville, where he died Sunday afternoon.

“The mood has been very somber here,” Riddle said. “He had no previous history we were aware of that indicated something like this.”

Michael Ludemann fixed and maintained the fire district’s vehicles, but he also made close friendships with those from other Plainfield agencies. Before working for the Plainfield fire district, Ludemann did repair work for the Lockport Township and Downers Grove fire districts.

Riddle said Michael Ludemann touched the lives of everybody who worked with him since he came to the district in 2004. He was well-liked and known as the go-to guy around the fire district.

Riddle said the fire district will honor Michael Ludemann by holding a solemn walk-through at his wake.

Visitation is from 3 to 8 p.m. Thursday at Overman-Jones Funeral Home.

The funeral is at 10 a.m. Friday at St. John Lutheran Church in Joliet, followed by interment at Plainfield Township Cemetery.

8 WILL COUNTY

Court Annex enters final stretch of renovations

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS

lleonecross@shawmedia.com

JOLIET – Before year’s end, county officials will have wrapped up more than a decade’s worth of renovations at the Will County Court Annex building in downtown Joliet.

The Will County Board last week voted to award Montgomery-based Lite Construction a $1.6 million contract for seventh-floor renovations for the building at the corner of Jefferson and Ottawa streets.

Known to many as the Emco building, the downtown Joliet annex houses most of the Will County state’s attorney’s offices, the Will County Children’s Advocacy Center, sever-

“You would never be able to build that kind of square footage like that today for $15 million.”

al civil courtrooms and a handful of other county offices, said Mike Miglorini, the county’s director of maintenance.

Floors have been remodeled over the years in stages to accommodate county offices, he said. A special aluminum covering was installed on the roof in 2010 to reduce the building’s energy use by reflecting the sun’s energy away from the surface.

The seven-story, two-towered building was purchased amid controversy in the early 2000s as a temporary fix to overcrowding problems – some of which still exist today – at the courthouse and other county offices, according to Herald-News archives.

At the time, some County Board members questioned the $4 million price tag when portions of the building had been plagued with asbestos and extensive work was required to bring it up to code. One of Emco’s two towers is about 100 years old.

But Miglorini said the building is in “good shape” today. When the fi-

nal floor renovation is complete, the county will have spent about $15 million on the Emco building, he said.

“You would never be able to build that kind of square footage like that today for $15 million,” Miglorini said.

He said the scope of work includes a “total gutting” of the seventh floor, including all new electrical wiring, heating and air, as well as separate office spaces.

Miglorini said renovations should be completed by mid-October.

It’s still undetermined if the state’s attorney’s offices will continue to be housed at the Emco building or if other county departments will be moved there once a new courthouse is built in downtown Joliet, he said.

By C.R. Walker February can be difficult for many seniors.

With so much focus on love because of Valentine’s Day, seniors who have lost their spouse have good reason to be sad.

The weather isn’t helpful either. Spring is over a month away and Old Man Winter seems pretty comfortable right now. Cold, dreary winter days can be depressing for even the happiest folks.

An abundance of love and kindness can go a long way in improving the emotional well-being of seniors. They likely aren’t receiving it if they’re living alone and family can only offer so much.

At Willow Falls, there’s so much love and kindness being offered this February that hearts are melting.

Willow Falls offers a full continuum of care, including independent living, assisted living and memory care, with countless

amenities on a beautiful, 33-acre site and a compassionate staff that’s dedicated to serving, loving and treating you with respect.

They recently introduced the Joyology group, which is adding joy, inducing laughter and improving the lives of the senior residents.

The community also celebrated Random Acts of Kindness and a Compliments Day where residents and staff went out of their way to do both things with the hope that it will continue into their everyday lives. By going the extra mile and helping others with a smile, seniors feel loved and appreciated.

On Smiles Day, Eddie Korosa brought smiles to the residents with his lovely polka, while two residents were named King & Queen of Hearts. King Charles and Queen Lois were crowned and cloaked and will bestow kindness to the kingdom of Willow Falls for the coming year. Making the event truly grand was the Del Bergeson Orchestra.

Are you looking for love and kindness in all the wrong places? It’s easy to find in Crest Hill.

Willow Falls is located at 1681 Willow Circle Drive in Crest Hill. For details, please call 815-725-5868 or visit www.willowfalls.com. adno=0301949

JOLIET – A Morris man was sentenced Monday to five years in prison after pleading guilty to robbing a bakery last year.

Dustin J. Leasure, 34, was wearing sunglasses and covering his face with a handkerchief on the afternoon of Oct. 26 when he came into Joliet Bakery, 821 Plainfield Road, Will County Assistant State’s Attorney Mark Fleszewski said.

“He yelled at the 79-year-old woman behind the counter to open the register and [kept Dustin J. yelling] even when it Leasure was open, but did not display a weapon,” Fleszewski said.

Leasure grabbed $8 from the register and fled, but was chased by witnesses while police were called. The elderly employee was not injured.

Fleszewski said the victim support-

ed the plea deal. Leasure faced up to 15 years behind bars, but was eligible for probation and told Judge Carla Alessio Policandriotes he’s had drug and alcohol problems.

“As a person, I don’t think prison is right for me,” he said before the judge issued the recommended sentence.

“When addicts steal, they [shoplift] from Wal-Mart,” Alessio Policandriotes said. “They don’t become ‘big and bad’ to [frighten] an old woman in a business that’s been there for decades.”

Leasure has prior convictions for drug possession, driving under the influence, domestic battery and criminal trespassing, according to court records.

“A healthy 35-year-old man takes on a 79-year-old woman for eight bucks,” the judge said. “Some punk comes in and wants to whine he’s got a drug and alcohol problem, but he’s never done a thing about it. My intention is not to insult you, Mr. Leasure. It’s to inform you – you crossed the line.”

Emergency vehicles are at the scene Monday morning in the 5700 block of East Greenfield Drive in unincorporated Grundy County near Coal City.

No injuries in chimney fire near Coal City COAL CITY – There were no injuries Monday morning after a chimney fire in the 5700 block of East Greenfield Drive in unincorporated Grundy County near Coal City.

Coal City Fire Protection District Chief James Sheldon said because of the amount of smoke coming from the one-story home, he called for additional response after receiving a report of the fire at 9:49 a.m.

When firefighters pulled back a portion of the ceiling and sprayed it down with water, the fire quickly dissipated.

Sheldon said he then canceled the response and only Coal City, Morris and Braidwood firefighters stayed on the scene. The fire was under control by 10 a.m., Sheldon said.

The residents had been using the chimney in recent days. A woman was leaving the home for work and noticed the excessive smoke coming from the chimney area, at which point she called 911.

Mobile bidding available at Joliet Area YMCA’s 2016 Giving Gala

By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com BOLINGBROOK – Tickets to the Greater Joliet Area YMCA’s 2016 Giving Gala sold out two weeks ago, but opportunities still remain to take part in the event.

Because the YMCA uses a mobile-bidding process, members who aren’t able to attend the event from 6 p.m. to midnight Saturday at Bolingbrook Golf Club can bid from afar on a list of unique items available at JolietYMCA. org.

“Mobile bidding is now very common in fundraisers,” Greater Joliet Area YMCA Vice President of Marketing Carolyn Hamilton said. “If, for example, you’re on vacation or weren’t able to get a ticket, you can bid live online.”

Bidding is open to the Greater Joliet Area YMCA’s membership of approximately 22,000 people. All one has to do is visit the website, click on a link and register to begin bidding from a selection of about 115 items. The list includes

weekend getaways, tickets to sporting events, golf foursomes and more that were donated by businesses and organizations that support the Y. The nonprofit hopes to surpass a record $140,000 raised at last year’s event, which was part of $725,000 in member and program scholarships provided by the Y in 2015. All Y fundraiser proceeds benefit the Y’s scholarship fund and help ensure that no one is turned away from the Y because of the inability to pay.

A lot of these funds are used in summer programs, as well as before- and after-school programs, Hamilton said. In 2015, the Y provided 824 member units with the funds raised. A member unit is equivalent to a family, which means one unit represents at least two people.

As a result, the true amount of people who were provided membership in 2015 is much greater than 824.

As the Greater Joliet Area YMCA continues to grow, so does the Giving Gala, Hamilton said. A dedicated group of volunteers continues to bring fresh ideas as communities continue to sup-

port their YMCAs. Examples of growth include Morris Community YMCA celebrating in January its one-year anniversary, while the C.W. Avery Family YMCA in Plainfield celebrated Feb. 4 its 10-year anniversary.

The “raise the paddle” portion of the gala will raise money toward the Y’s Teen Achievers program, which is a national academic/career development program for high school youth. This portion is open to on-site guests at the gala.

A recent Loyola University Chicago graduate who was a part of the program in her teen years will speak at the gala about what the program meant to her.

The Giving Gala is the Greater Joliet Area YMCA’s one official fundraising event each year. The Y, however, conducts a fundraising effort throughout the year.

Tickets to the gala and sponsorships are sold out. All of the Y’s Greater Joliet Area members are welcome to participate in the live auction Saturday at www.jolietymca.org/giving/giving-gala.

• SENIOR SERVICES lapsed for his parents, who are in their 80s.

The center also is assigned to provide screenings to patients on Medicare in area hospitals, Kolanowski said. Diminished staff means seniors have to wait for the center’s team to be able to see them before they are released, he said, which translates into additional days in the hospital, driving up costs.

The reduced staff also means fewer senior citizens are signed up for the Meals on Wheels program – a home delivery service administered by Kankakee County Community Services Inc.

Senior Services of Will County executive director

Eric Ginnard – eginnard@shawmedia.com

A mirror reflects a class of seniors Thursday during a line-dancing class at the Senior Services of Will County center in Joliet. turing, he was able to pay down the center’s line of credit from $400,000 to about $196,000 – until December came and went and the state was still without a budget. That’s when he made the tough choice to lay off staff and asked employees to take a pay cut.

“You can’t work your budget down to zero,” Kolanowski said. “We had to call it at some point and made a decision to cut.”

The budget impasse has caused anxiety for social service nonprofits such as Senior Services that rely on

Around this time last year, Senior Services leaders were making headlines for having maxed out the organization’s line of credit – a move they made when faced with lagging payments from the state. The center’s executive director resigned shortly after, and Kolanowski took charge in an effort to stabilize the center’s finances.

Kolanowski said through restruc-

state contracts, while senior citizens have become pawns in the budget battle, he said. Rauner’s budget address last week gave Kolanowski no assurance that the state’s fiscal crisis will be resolved anytime soon.

But caseloads have reached unsustainable levels, Kolanowski said. “[Caseworkers are] physically unable to meet with clients now so they go many more days, if not weeks, without a visit,” Kolanowski said. “That’s where it puts them in harm’s way and the possibility of abuse and neglect rises.”

The Associated Press Douglas Slocombe, the chameleonic British cinematographer who filmed the Nazi invasion of Poland, the adventures of “Indiana Jones” and the madcap farce of Ealing comedies, has died.

Slocombe was 103.

His daughter, Georgina Slocombe, said Slocombe died early Monday in a London hospital. A recent fall led to setbacks that ended with his death, she said.

“He said the other day that he loved every day of his work, every day on the set,” said Georgina Slocombe, a photographer. “He really enjoyed his work and his life.”

Slocombe was one of British cinema’s most acclaimed cinematogra-

The British Society of Cinematographer gave him a lifetime achievement award in 1995.

While in his 20s, Slocombe documented Germany’s 1939 Polish invasion as a newsreel cameraman. His footage was used in Herbert Kline’s documentary, “Lights Out in Europe.”

“I had no understanding of the concept of blitzkrieg. I had been expecting trouble, but I thought it would be in trenches, like WWI,” he told the BBC in 2014. “The Germans were coming over the border at a great pace.”

After the war, he became the house cinematographer for Ealing Studios, lensing many of its classic comedies, such as “Kind Hearts and Coronets,” “The Man in the White Suit” and “The Lavender Hill Mob.” Following Ealing’s demise, Slocombe

signed on to a number of CinemaScope releases, such as “A High Wind in Jamaica” and “Guns at Batasi.” Other credits through the ’60s and ’70s included “The Lion in Winter,” “The Italian Job” and “Rollerball.”

“A lot of cameramen try to evolve a technique and then apply that to everything,” Slocombe once said. “But I suffer from a bad memory and could never remember how I’d done something before, so I could always approach something afresh. I found I was able to change techniques on picture after picture.”

Later, Spielberg, for whom Slocombe shot scenes of “Close Encounters of the Third Kind,” enlisted him for “Raiders of the Lost Ark,” as well as two “Indiana Jones” sequels. His last film was 1989’s “Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.”

phers. He shot some 80 films, working with directors as varied as George Cukor, John Huston, Norman Jewison and Roman Polanski. His career began with the famed Ealing black comedies of the late 1940s and early ’50s, and ended with three “Indiana Jones” films for Steven Spielberg.

“Dougie Slocombe was facile, enthusiastic, and loved the action of filmmaking,” Spielberg said. “Harrison Ford was Indiana Jones in front of the camera, but with his whip-smart crew, Dougie was my behind the scenes hero for the first three Indy movies.”

The London-born, France-raised Slocombe was nominated for three Academy Awards and won three from the British Academy of Film and Television Arts for 1974’s “The Great Gatsby,” 1963’s “The Servant” and 1977’s “Julia.”

Cameras-in-court policy made permanent

By MICHAEL TARM The Associated Press

CHICAGO – Illinois is making its cameras-in-court policy permanent after having success with a four-year experiment that allowed media coverage at some trials, state high court officials said Monday.

An Illinois Supreme Court spokesman said safeguards at several dozen trials where news cameras and audio recording devices have been allowed for the pilot project since 2012 have worked, despite concern that having media in court could create a disruptive, circus-like atmosphere.

ILLINOIS ROUNDUP

News from across the state Kirk ‘looks forward’ to Obama’s court nominee

CHICAGO – U.S. Sen. Mark Kirk has broken with fellow Republicans by saying he “looks forward” to President Barack Obama nominating a replacement for Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia.

In a Chicago Sun-Times column posted Monday, Kirk said the Constitution gives the president – Republican or Democrat – the right to send a nominee to the Senate. He said he swore an oath to uphold the Constitution, “not to a party or any one individual.”

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and other Republicans said the next president should choose Scalia’s successor.

Kirk’s statements come as he’s facing a difficult re-election bid.

The Democrats vying to unseat him said Obama should fill the vacancy and called on Kirk to take a definitive position.

Kirk said Obama should select someone “who can bridge differences.”

Kickboxers press to reform laws governing events

PEORIA – Practitioners of kickboxing and other martial arts are lending their support to pending state legislation that would allow them to hold more

“There were no red flags in any of the instances,” spokeswoman Bethany Krajelis said.

Most other states have had permanent policies allowing cameras and audio recording devices in courts for years. Illinois has allowed the devices in Illinois Supreme Court and appellate court hearings since 1983. At the time, the ban at state-court trials was continued out of fear of undermining defendants’ rights to a fair trial.

Although historic, Monday’s decision wasn’t a surprise and won’t immediately change the number of participants. Nine judicial districts that opted not to participate in the pilot

project won’t be forced to now that it’s permanent; 15 of the state’s remaining districts are taking part.

Also, cameras still won’t be allowed during jury selection, and presiding judges will continue to have the final word about letting cameras in and under what conditions.

Cook County, which has more than 400 county judges overseeing more than a million cases a year in Chicago and more than 120 suburbs, joined the program in 2014.

Media have made about 450 requests for access to hearings and trials, with courts granting the requests in most cases, Krajelis said.

Among the first high-profile trials to allow cameras during the pilot program was the 2012 murder trial of Nicholas Sheley in Whiteside County.

Sheley was convicted of killing 93-yearold Russell Reed, one of eight people he’s accused of killing during shootings in Illinois and Missouri.

Prosecutors and defense lawyers had argued the media coverage inside the courtroom at that Sheley trial would make it impossible to pick impartial juries for trials in the other killings. But Judge Jeffery O’Connor said at the time he was sure jurors would fulfill their duty to give Sheley a fair trial.

competitions in Illinois.

Bill sponsors argue that current state law puts limits on promoters trying to host amateur martial arts events, which aren’t regulated in the same way boxing and mixed martial arts are. As a result, practitioners often have to travel in order to compete.

“I think it’s very frustrating that we’re training year-round and we may have four opportunities to fight,” said Josh Brackett, owner of Peoria Muay Thai.

“We probably haven’t fought in Illinois in five or six years.”

The Journal Star reported that changes to laws governing amateur competitions were enacted in 2004 to deter “toughman” competitions in Illinois. The emergency rules banned organized fights that pit untrained and unconditioned fighters against one another. Illinois was the 14th state to ban the fights after several deaths became associated with the contests.

Athletes, trainers and several public bodies endorse a current effort, modeled after laws in Iowa, to open the way for organized tournaments. But the proposal faces key opposition from the governing body that would regulate such competitions.

A spokesman for the state Department of Financial and Professional Regulation said it does not support the pitch because it does not adequately address the safety and welfare of the athletes.

He added the department is open to any alternative proposals.

“The way it’s proposed right now it’s just not gonna fly,” said bill sponsor state Sen. Dave Koehler, D-Peoria.

Koehler added that new legislation may

be reintroduced in the future with a more limited scope. “I’m not giving up on it, but we’re going to have to take a different approach.”

tenced to 23 years in prison for the July 2012 death of Rylan Aislee Koopmeiners of Kenosha, Wisconsin.

The Koopmeiners said they are grateful to God that “some form of earthly justice has been served for Rylan.”

Gumm was charged with first-degree murder and accused of causing a head injury that resulted in the baby’s death at her home in Waukegan. Gumm didn’t make a statement during the hearing.

Gumm’s defense attorney, Greg Nikitas, said she was grateful for the Koopmeiners’ compassion and prosecutors’ patience.

Travel restrictions eased for ex-U.S. Rep. Jackson

CHICAGO – A federal judge is easing travel restrictions during Jesse Jackson Jr.’s supervised release so the ex-congressman can take his children to visit his imprisoned wife more often and see the children’s grandparents in Chicago.

Court documents show the judge signed the order Monday after Jackson’s attorneys filed it. The motion said it’s burdensome that Jackson and the children are limited to monthly visits with his wife and unable to visit Chicago family, including the Rev. Jesse Jackson.

The documents said Jackson Jr. will notify the court of travel and confirm his return to the family’s Washington home.

Jackson was released from prison last year after completing his sentence for a fraud conviction for illegal spending.

His wife, former Chicago Alderman Sandi Jackson, serves a related term in West Virginia.

House GOP leader seeks compromise in Rauner plan

SPRINGFIELD – The top Republican in the Illinois House said there is room to compromise with Democrats on the conservative agenda Gov. Bruce Rauner is pushing.

Jim Durkin is a Republican from Western Springs. On Monday, he told a meeting of the City Club in Chicago that he wants Democrats who control the General Assembly to negotiate “with open minds” on a balanced budget.

The state has been without a spending plan for all of this fiscal year, and the next one is fast approaching.

The stalemate is over Republican Rauner’s insistence on pro-business reforms such as lowering workers’ compensation costs.

Durkin said there are steps within a workers’ comp reform package that could be agreed upon, such as adopting American Medical Association guidelines for compensating worker injury.

Jason Dalton of Kalamazoo Township, Mich., is arraigned Monday via video before Judge Christopher T. Haenicke in Kalamazoo, Mich. Dalton is charged with multiple counts of murder in a series of random shootings in western Michigan.

Uber got complaints about shooting suspect

By JEFF KAROUB

The Associated Press KALAMAZOO, Mich. – The Uber ride-hailing service acknowledged Monday that it received complaints about erratic driving by the suspect in the random shootings that killed six people in Kalamazoo, and a prosecutor said the man admitted carrying out the attacks.

As authorities pieced together Jason Dalton’s actions, the prosecutor said he picked up Uber fares after the first shooting and probably got more riders after the subsequent shootings.

Dalton, the 45-year-old former insurance adjuster, appeared briefly in court by video link and was charged with six counts of murder. A judge denied him bail.

During a talk with investigators, Dalton waived his right against self-incrimination and confessed his role in the Saturday night shootings, Kalamazoo County Prosecutor Jeff Getting said.

Dalton admitted “that he took people’s lives,” Kalamazoo Police Detective Cory Ghiringhelli told the court. The murder charges carry a mandatory life sentence. Michigan does not have the death penalty.

An Uber passenger said he called police to report that Dalton was driving erratically more than an hour before the shootings began.

Matt Mellen told Kalamazoo TV station WWMT that he hailed a ride around 4:30 p.m.

Saturday. He said driver Jason Dalton introduced himself as “Me-Me” and had a dog in the backseat.

Mellen sat in front. About a mile into the trip, Dalton got a phone call, and when he hung up, he began driving recklessly, blowing through stop signs and sideswiping cars, Mellen said.

“We were driving through medians, driving through the lawn, speeding along, and when we came to a stop, I jumped out of the car and ran away,” Mellen said. He said he called police and when he got to his friend’s house, his fiancée posted a warning to friends on Facebook.

Uber said riders complained Saturday about Dalton’s driving. When alerted to unsafe driving, company policy is to contact the driver.

But Uber officials would not say whether anyone at the company spoke to Dalton, deferring to law enforcement.

Dalton passed a background check and became a driver Jan. 25. He had given about 100 rides, the company said.

Since Dalton’s arrest, several people have come forward to say he picked them up for Uber in the hours after the first attack. The Associated Press could not confirm those accounts.

Kalamazoo County Sheriff Richard Fuller said Uber is cooperating with law enforcement officials, and he believes the company will “help us fill in some timeline gaps.”

As Clinton takes lead, Sanders vows to fight on

BY LISA LERER and STEPHEN OHLEMACHER The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – With Hillary Clinton taking the lead in the competition for Democratic delegates, rival Bernie Sanders is vowing to fight on, saying on Monday that he has no plans of leaving the race anytime soon.

Sanders downplayed Clinton’s weekend victory in Nevada, pointing out that the win only resulted in her picking up four additional delegates, out of the 2,383 needed to win the nomination. He says his campaign has plenty of time to make up lost ground.

“This is about a slog, state by state by state,” he said. “Even if we do well, Secretary Clinton will get a lot of delegates and we’ll just have to keep mov-

ing on.”

Clinton pulled ahead of Sanders late Monday, when she eked out the final delegate from Saturday’s Nevada caucuses, giving her a total of 52 caucus and primary delegates.

Sanders has 51.

“HRC now takes [national] delegate lead,” tweeted Clinton spokesman Brian Fallon. “Not planning on ever giving it back.”

The milestone is im- Bernie Sanders portant because once a candidate establishes a sizable delegate lead, it can be hard for opponents to make up the lost ground.

Eight years ago, then-Illinois Sen. Barack Obama outgunned Clinton for the party nomination by establish-

ing a 100 delegate advantage that she was never able to overcome. Clinton’s team, who hired Obama’s former aides to run their delegate effort, hopes to copy his strategy this spring by parlaying their strength with African-American voters into a string of wins in South Carolina, on Feb. 27, and the southern contests that follow on March 1.

There are more than Hillary Clinton 1,400 delegates at stake in states such as South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee and Louisiana, and depending on the outcome and proportional allocation of delegates, Clinton could build a comfortable lead.

She also maintains a commanding

lock on the party’s leadership. An Associated Press survey of superdelegates, who are influential in picking the nominee, found that 449 of the party insiders back Clinton, while only 19 support Sanders. Those superdelegates can switch candidates and Sanders team says that if the count is close, they plan to lobby delegates from the states he wins to change their positions.

Sanders argues that she’s made gains by lifting much of his message, saying she’s adopting not only his policy positions but his “phraseology.”

“I saw a TV ad and thought it was me, but it turns out it was Secretary Clinton in the ad,” he said. “People of the United States need to know the difference between hastily adopted campaign rhetoric and the real record and the long-held ideas of the candidate”

Experts: The FBI’s iPhone-unlocking plan for Apple is risky Missouri senator

has breast cancer

By BRANDON BAILEY The Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO – In its battle with Apple over an extremist’s iPhone, the FBI said neither the company nor anyone else has anything to fear. Although they want to compel assistance from Apple to unlock a phone used by San Bernardino mass shooter Syed Farook, officials said the techniques they propose are limited in scope and pose no risk to the privacy of other iPhone users.

Security experts said it’s not simple.

“It’s a very dangerous proposition to claim that this capability could not be re-used,” said Will Ackerly, chief technology officer at Virtru, a computer security firm he co-founded after working 8 years at the National Security Agency.

Federal prosecutors have asked a court to force Apple to produce special software that would help the FBI guess the passcode to an iPhone found in Farook’s car. Federal officials said Apple will be free to destroy the software once the iPhone is open to investigators.

Apple argues it’s unrealistic to think that governments, both in the U.S. and overseas, won’t ask to use the same program again in other cases. Ackerly and other experts echoed that concern. And on technical grounds, experts said, it might simply be impossible to keep the program from falling into the wrong hands.

True, some experts said Apple CEO Tim Cook is exaggerating when he said the government wants the company to create a “backdoor” into otherwise secure information held on iPhones.

It might be closer to say the government wants to require Apple to help pick the lock to the front door. Even that approach, however, could still pose broader dangers.

This Feb. 17 photo shows an iPhone in Washington. In the searing debate over the FBI’s effort to unlock a terrorist’s iPhone, federal authorities argue they’re seeking only limited help from Apple that won’t compromise the privacy of other iPhone users.

Essentially, the FBI wants Apple to write a program that disables some iPhone security features so that federal computer experts could guess the phone’s passcode by “brute force.” Unlocking the phone with the passcode automatically decodes encrypted files.

In particular, the FBI wants to disable a “self-destruct” mechanism that could render the phone unreadable after 10 bad guesses, as well as an enforced delay of up to an hour between incorrect passcode attempts.

U.S. officials said their precautions would prevent anyone else – governments and criminal hackers included – from re-using that bypass software on other phones.

First, the government said Apple can design the program to work only when it recognizes Farook’s iPhone, by checking the unique identifying code

assigned to each device Apple makes.

The iPhone won’t respond if the program doesn’t contain a cryptographic signature that verifies the software was created by Apple, the government said in its court filing.

Authorities said the program can be loaded onto the iPhone’s temporary memory, so it will disappear once the iPhone is turned off. As an additional precaution, the government said Apple can design the program to let investigators try different passcodes by submitting them electronically, so that Apple can keep physical control over the iPhone while the special program is deployed.

“Compliance with the order presents no danger to any other phone,” prosecutors said Friday in a court document signed by Assistant U.S. Attorney Tracy Wilkinson.

WASHINGTON – Missouri Sen. Claire McCaskill said Monday she has breast cancer and would remain in St. Louis for the next three weeks to receive treatment.

The Democratic senator said in a blog post Monday that the cancer was detected through a regular mammogram.

“It’s a little scary, but my prognosis is good and I expect a full recovery,” she said.

McCaskill, 62, said she will post on her Senate website how she would have voted on any matters that come before the Senate while she is gone.

She said she will also submit questions that could be asked at SenClaire ate hearings.

McCaskill She announced the news on Twitter, saying, “I very recently learned that I have breast cancer.”

McCaskill is a former Missouri state legislator and county prosecutor.

A member of the Armed Services Committee, she has been at the forefront in efforts to combat sexual assault in the military.

McCaskill was serving as Missouri auditor before her election to the Senate in 2006. She was re-elected in 2012, overcoming her state’s Republican tilt and benefiting from the misstep of her rival, Rep. Todd Akin.

The Republican referred to “legitimate rape,” and most in the GOP bailed on his candidacy.

Dr. Erin Staples from the United States’ Centers for Disease Control and Prevention speaks Monday before members of Brazil’s Health Ministry and the Paraiba state’s health secretariat in Joao Pessoa, Brazil. around the same time.

Data collection is expected to last several weeks, researchers said, depending largely on how easily they can track down the babies with microcephaly and their families, many of whom are thought to live in remote rural areas of Paraiba, one of Brazil’s poorest and least developed states.

While 56 cases of microcephaly have been confirmed in Paraiba since the spike was first noticed in October, authorities are investigating another 423 suspected cases, according

to Health Ministry data.

“There’s a lot of anxiety out there and people really want to understand what’s going on,” said Priscila Leite, who leads the Heath Ministry’s delegation. “We expect high recruitment numbers.”

It’s not yet clear how long it will take for results to be released, but Erin Staples, the epidemiologist who heads the CDC contingent in Paraiba, said partial results may emerge during the monthlong data collection phase.

Protests that led to caste violence in north India near end The ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW DELHI – Authorities in a north Indian state Monday began lifting curfews in key towns and protesters gradually removed roadblocks after 12 people died in clashes during their demonstrations for government benefits.

Government forces also secured a canal in Haryana state, which provides 60 percent of New Delhi’s water needs, easing fears of a shortage in the Indian capital. New Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal said engineers were repairing portions of a reservoir damaged by protesters.

The situation was improving in Rohtak district, which bore the brunt

of attacks by the protesters in the underprivileged Jat community, who demanded quotas in jobs and educational institutions, said police officer Saurabh Singh.

Curfews ended in Hissar and Hansi towns as law and order were being restored after three days of violence which saw mobs burning vehicles, banks, railroad stations, shops and gas stations.

Thousands of stranded vehicles still clogged highways in the state, and train services were disrupted by protesters sitting on railroad tracks.

At least 12 people were killed by Indian security forces firing on protesters since Friday, state Home Secretary P. K. Das told reporters Sun-

day.

Another 150 protesters have been injured in clashes in various parts of the state.

With the state government accepting their demands for 27 percent job quotas, Jat leaders are expected to hold a meeting and formally end their protests later Monday.

The Jat community comprises nearly 29 percent of Haryana state’s 25 million people India’s constitution includes a system of affirmative action for people in the lowest castes to help them overcome discrimination. The government has expanded the number of groups, including the Jat, qualifying for quotas.

WASHINGTON – Sea levels on Earth are rising several times faster than they have in the past 2,800 years and are accelerating because of manmade global warming, according to new studies.

An international team of scientists dug into two dozen locations across the globe to chart gently rising and falling seas over centuries and millennia. Until the 1880s and the world’s industrialization, the fastest seas rose was about 1 to 1.5 inches a century, plus or minus a bit. During that time global sea level really didn’t get much higher or lower than 3 inches above or below the 2,000year average.

But in the 20th century the world’s seas rose 5.5 inches. Since 1993 the rate has soared to a foot a century. And two different studies published Monday in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, said by 2100 that the world’s oceans will rise between 11 to 52 inches, depending on how much heat-trapping gas Earth’s industries and vehicles expel.

“There’s no question that the 20th century is the fastest,” said Rutgers earth and planetary sciences professor Bob Kopp, lead author of the study that looked back at sea levels over the past three millennia. “It’s because of the temperature increase in the 20th century which has been driven by fossil fuel use.”

To figure out past sea levels and rates of rise and fall, scientists engaged in a “geological detective story,” said study co-author Ben Horton, a Rutgers marine scientist. They went around the world looking at salt marshes and other coastal locations and used different clues to figure out what the sea level was at different times. They used single cell organisms that are sensitive to salinity, mangroves, coral, sediments and other clues in cores, Horton said. On top of that, they checked their figures by easy markers such as the rise of lead with the start of the industrial age and isotopes only seen in the atomic age.

When Kopp and colleagues charted the sea level rise over the centuries – they went back 3,000 years, but aren’t confident in the most distant 200 years – they saw Earth’s sea level was on a downward trend until the industrial age.

Sea level rise in the 20th century is mostly man-made, the study authors said.

JOAO PESSOA, Brazil – A 16-member team from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention kicked off work Monday on a study to help determine whether the Zika virus really does cause babies to be born with the devastating birth defect microcephaly, as Brazilian researchers strongly suspect.

Brazil’s health minister repeatedly has said he’s sure Zika is causing the birth defect, but international health agencies said there is not enough evidence to be certain.

“We have very limited information and we want to get more,” Cynthia Moore, a microcephaly expert with the CDC, said at a training session in the capital of the northeastern state of Paraiba, one of the epicenters of Brazil’s tandem Zika and microcephaly outbreaks.

She said “evidence is mounting” for a causal link between Zika and microcephaly, but myriad questions remain about how the virus may affect fetuses, the magnitude of the risk of infection and whether other factors may in involved.

Eight teams from the CDC, the Health Ministry and the state health secretariat will search the state for babies with microcephaly and their mothers.

They hope to recruit more than 100 mothers of babies with microcephaly and compare their blood work and other data with that of several hundred mother and babies without microcephaly born in the same areas

Angry and concerned voters

To the Editor: This presidential election is dominated by angry voters. Millennials are angry because they have less wealth, more debt, higher unemployment, and fewer homes than their parents’ generation had. President Barack Obama promised change and hope. They got the wrong kind of change.

Socialism does not work. Hillary Clinton defends the status quo and proposes more of what doesn’t work. Bernie Sanders is popular because he recognizes the economic plight of millennials, but fails to recognize socialism as the cause and proposes much more socialism. Even the liberal economists challenge his economic math.

The main Republican candidates are Donald Trump, Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio. Trump and Cruz have championed the voter anger against illegal immigration, Islamic terrorism, stupid political correctness, liberal biased media, Obama’s unconstitutional and foolish actions, and the useless GOP leadership.

Trump is a strong voice. Unfortunately, he is a recent convert or is it opportunist to conservatism and the Republican Party and has supported gun control and single-payer health care. His decadent lifestyle, use of eminent domain for personal gain, bankruptcies losing other peoples’ money, and sleazy dealings are legendary.

The recent death of conservative constitutionalist U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia has generated much concern over his replacement and the continued existence of our Constitution. We need justices who will follow the Constitution as written and not usurp the power of Congress and the people to make changes.

Obama said our Constitution is flawed, meaning it doesn’t support socialism and dictatorship. He has already appointed two radical justices to legislate from the bench. One more Obama type justice and we could lose our Constitution and our freedoms. Patriots want the new justice to be selected by the next, hopefully conservative, president. Cruz is a strong advocate for following the Constitution.

Back to square one in budget battle

There are always two audiences for formal gubernatorial addresses: 1) Legislators who actually attend; and 2) Everyone else outside the Statehouse who watch it or read about it later.

Gov. Bruce Rauner’s budget address last week seemed far more designed for people outside the building, most of whom don’t really care about the intricacies of government finance. Most do, however, want to see everyone finally get along and end this 8-month governmental impasse, despite what you may read in online comment sections.

That’s probably why Rauner barely even talked about the budget. It’s no surprise why. For the first time since Illinois became a state in 1818, a governor has submitted a budget for the next fiscal year without having passed a budget for the current fiscal year.

The failure is not just an embarrassment. Tens of thousands of the most vulnerable Illinoisans are paying dearly. No budget means the state can’t help homeless teens, assist women with the trauma of a brutal rape or help addicts kick heroin.

Tens of thousands more might have to drop out of college because state universities and a special scholarship program aren’t being funded. The majority African-American Chicago State University is perilously close to shutting down, as are Western Illinois University and Eastern Illinois University.

Even Rauner’s lines that some described as an “olive branch” to the Democratic legislative majority seemed aimed more at the folks back home.

Why? Well, words, even very kind words, are not going to be enough to get this done. The sides are simply too far apart, and now that election season has cranked up again, I’m not sure how this thing is going to be resolved.

The governor wants Democrats to

VIEWS

Rich Miller help him undermine their labor union allies before he’ll cut a budget deal.

But he’s got tens of millions of dollars in campaign bank accounts which are already being unleashed on Democrats. They won’t unilaterally disarm themselves in the face of a threat like that.

House Speaker Michael Madigan is one of those Democrats with a well-funded primary opponent. Despite adamant denials from the governor and the opponent himself, Madigan firmly believes that Rauner put the guy into the race.

So, after Rauner concluded his budget address and turned to shake Madigan’s hand, Madigan leaned in and sarcastically cracked, “Thanks for the candidate.”

This was the second time that Madigan “thanked” the governor for his opponent. The first time was immediately after January’s State of the State Address. A noisy House chamber meant Rauner didn’t understand what Madigan said, thinking he made some comment about state Rep. Jack Franks. But the message came through loud and clear last week.

Some people think that if we could just get rid of Mike Madigan, then the governor would have a free hand to solve all the state’s problems.

But that’s just not the reality.

Almost all rank and file Democratic legislators are adamant about opposing Rauner.

Hours after his budget address, Rauner attended the Illinois Legislative Black Caucus’ annual dinner event. The governor chatted with folks and was then unexpectedly asked

to speak. Rauner relied on his usual stump speech that he gives at black churches, saying “The Good Lord didn’t make us Democrats and Republicans, the Good Lord put us on Earth to do his work.” He talked about how he wanted to work with everyone in the room. But then he laid an egg.

“My agenda, my goal aligns exactly with the interests of the African-American community,” Rauner declared.

“But we’ve got a broken politics in Illinois and around America where African-Americans primarily vote Democrat and as a result Democratic leaders can pretty much ignore the interests of the African-American community because they have the votes all locked up anyway.”

Um, most people at the dinner were Democratic leaders, and most of them also were African-Americans. His remarks were taken as a direct insult by many in attendance.

Rauner’s comments were from an often-used GOP playbook. And I don’t think he had ill intentions because he also said, “Republicans don’t want to listen to African-American concerns because they never get their votes.

That is wrong. We should change that.

We should work together in the common interests.”

I don’t know if many people heard that, but they did applaud when Rauner said he wanted to spend more money on education “so it goes disproportionately to low-income schools.”

What he didn’t say, but what everyone in the room knew, is that he will only agree to do this after Democrats help him gut the power of organized labor.

And that brings us back to Square One.

CLASS 3A PEOTONE GIRLS BASKETBALL SECTIONAL SEMIFINAL: MORGAN PARK 73, JOLIET CATHOLIC 70

EVERYTHING BUT THE ‘W’ JCA girls take favored Morgan Park to final seconds before falling

By DICK GOSS

Joliet Catholic Academy’s Nicole Ekhomu drives to the basket for a layup in front of Morgan Park’s Destiny Harden during Joliet Catholic’s 73-70 loss Monday in a Class 3A Peotone Sectional semifinal game.

PEOTONE – The Morgan Park girls basketball team entered Monday’s Peotone Sectional semifinal with a 25-4 record and was ranked No. 2 in the state in Class 3A. The Mustangs left the court breathing a huge sigh of relief.

Joliet Catholic gave the sectional’s No. 1 seed all it wanted and then some. Kaitlyn Williams attempted a 3-point shot from the right side with about four seconds to go that would have tied the score and most likely forced overtime.

Instead, it bounced away, and Morgan Park (26-4) escaped with a 73-70 victory and advanced into Thursday night’s sectional final.

The Angels (16-9), closing out their first season under coach Nick Leonard, were playing from behind virtually the entire game, but never by an insurmountable amount.

Morgan Park outscored JCA, 9-2, to close the third quarter with a 50-42 lead. The Angels cut that to 50-48 at the outset of the fourth quarter and tied the score at 54, 56 and 58. It was 61-60 Morgan Park with 3:52 left before the Mustangs went on an 8-0 run to lead 69-61 with 1:38 to go.

Game over? Not on this night.

Nicole Ekhomu, who scored 37 points, hit two free throws, and the JCA press began to take a heavier toll. Andriana Acosta, a dynamo down the stretch, hit two free throws after a Mustangs turnover with 1:11 left.

Morgan Park missed two free throws, and Ekhomu came down and hit a short jumper. Then Williams stole a pass at mid-court and took it in for layup and a 69-68 deficit.

“A month or two ago, the press was not a staple for us,” Leonard said.

“But these seniors took it upon themselves to put in the work. I doubt if Kaitlyn had a steal like that one all year. The seniors did not want it to end.”

Gabriel Cooper scored for Morgan Park with 38 seconds left to make it 71-68, but Ekhomu’s 8-footer with 15 seconds to go got JCA back within one. Two free throws by Morgan Park’s Deja Cage with eight seconds left were the final points.

• JCA Continued from page 27 “We got out a little slow,” Leonard said. “It didn’t feel like a sectional atmosphere at first. They were a little off their game, and we missed some opportunities early. But then it turned into quite a game.”

Leonard went most of the way with seniors Ekhomu, Acosta, Williams and Mia Farrell, along with freshman Jennifer Krizka. At that, they had plenty left in the tank to press Morgan Park effectively in the stretch run.

“There comes a point where adrenaline takes over,” Leonard said. “We had some kids who were sick, so our bench was really short today. But our girls wanted to be out there until the end.”

The Florida State-bound Ekhomu scored her 37 points on 12 of 36 shooting, including 4 of 11 from 3-point range, and nine of 10 free throws. She scored 16 of the Angels’ 28 fourth-quarter points.

“We can’t ask for anything better from all our girls,” Ekhomu said. “We had two starters [Jnaya Walker and Ty Battle] transfer before the season, and our coach [Kenny Battle] leave. It’s all about these girls. Some of them hadn’t played in two years and came back out to help us. I really appreciate them.”

The other senior starters also contributed.

Acosta finished with 11 points and seven rebounds, Williams 11 points and six rebounds and Farrell 10 points and three boards. Krizka, the freshman, chipped in seven rebounds.

“They [Mustangs] have a lot of tal-

ent,” Acosta said. “But I couldn’t ask for a better way for it to end. We played our hardest, and the girls who came back out after not playing for two or three years, they really believed in us.”

“We toughed it out and proved we’re not a soft team,” said Farrell, who played with a shoulder hurting so badly that “it was hard to lift my arm.

It was bad that I couldn’t do everything I wanted.”

Still, she was not about to leave the floor.

“Nobody is going away from here saying JCA did not have a chance in this game,” Leonard said. “These girls gave me a great first year. I was fortunate to have coached these seniors [including reserve guard Therese Rouse].

They are the embodiment of what JCA is all about.”

PREP WRESTLING

CHAMPAIGN – It’s always a special sight when a wrestler secures a top-six showing in the IHSA finals to assure himself of all-state honors while picking up his initial medal.

A total of 15 of the 25 medal winners from area schools accomplished that feat last weekend at the University of Illinois’ State Farm Center. And of those 15 newcomers to the awards stand, only four are graduating after this season.

Getting on the awards stand as a freshman is never easy, even though many of the area’s first-year high school competitors have enjoyed great success at the lower levels.

That group includes Providence’s Jake Lindsey (35-10), Bolingbrook’s Dylan Burnoski (32-11), Lincoln-Way West’s Chris Kennedy (36-11) and Coal City’s Alex Friddle (42-5).

Lindsey beat Bolingbrook’s Burnoski for fifth place at 106 in Class 3A. Kennedy claimed fifth at 106 in 2A and Friddle had the same finish at 106 in 1A. A year after Providence failed to get a qualifier, Lindsey became its first placer since 2013.

“I knew that I would have to beat some good kids no matter where I was at in the bracket, so it was going to be a battle in every match,” Lindsey said.

“After my quarterfinal loss, I didn’t really want to be here, since that was heartbreaking. But I had some long talks with some good coaches, and I love the sport, so I was able to come back because I wanted it. Just knowing that I can compete with all of these kids is a big boost for my self-esteem.”

Bolingbrook last had a medalist in 2012. Burnoski now only needs to place one more time to tie five others who lead the program with two medals won.

“It felt good to win my first two matches since I knew that I’d place,” Burnoski said. “The guys I lost to are good, but I need to work more on my technique, be more explosive and move on my feet. This is going to look good on the wall, and hopefully I’ll get my own title board up there in future years. This gave me a good taste, and now I know what to look forward to and how to prep for it. This just makes me want to train harder to get to the top.”

While Lindsey lost in the quarterfinals, the other three freshman medalists all advanced to the semifinals.

Friddle was one of four Coalers medalists, while Kennedy was one of three Warriors to earn all-state honors.

“This has been my goal all year and

You need to have a goal that you’ll work for, and mine was to place, and I did that. Now I have three more years to keep trying to get better.”

Among the sophomores, Morris’ Cody Baldridge (36-7) reached the Class 2A finals at 182, where he took second to Washington’s Jacob Warner. Peotone’s Chandler Gartner (235) was fourth at 160 in 1A and Providence’s Cole Smith (42-9) placed fifth at 152 in 3A. “There are some teams here that didn’t even have a placewinner, and we had two, and could have had more,” Smith said. “So that feels good following last year, when we only had an alternate. Next year, I’d like to be in the semifinals and hopefully get to the finals. Considering how I felt after my sectional loss last year, this is really special for me.”

Lemont’s Egan Berta (43-3) led four

juniors who were first-time placers by advancing to the Class 2A finals at 145, where he lost to Geneseo’s Hunter Grau. Coal City’s Jake Hiles (33-8) was fourth at 120 in 1A, Lincoln-Way Central’s Jake Dudeck (38-8) took fifth at 220 in 3A and Lincoln-Way West’s Gehrig Simon (32-9) finished sixth at 126 in 2A. “I could have wrestled better in some of my matches, so it’s kind of a bittersweet feeling,” Simon said. “I know that I placed, but I could have done better. I just came up a little bit short and didn’t wrestle my best, so I have some things to improve on for next year.”

And four seniors who competed in Class 3A won their first state medals.

Plainfield North’s Marcus Povlick (422) was second to Montini’s Joey Melendez at 106, Plainfield East’s Zach Krause (42-3) took fourth at 138, Plainfield South’s Danny Saracco (46-5) was fourth at 195 and Lincoln-Way East’s Brian Burns (40-9) claimed sixth at 182.

Lockport duo repeat as medalists:

Two other juniors from Lockport who won their first medals last year were able to repeat that feat, even though their seasons were affected greatly because of injury.

Abdullah Assaf (22-5), who finished third a year ago, took fifth place at 120 in Class 3A. Trevell Timmons (25-9), who was fifth a year ago, battled in the 152 semifinals to the eventual champ, Hononegah’s Fernie Silva, before defaulting in his final two matches.

“My opponents wrestled real tough and I don’t want to take anything away from them,” Assaf said. “But I had a lingering injury all year and it just kind of slowed me down. I’m not going to say that I’m proud of how I did on the last day because I think that I could have done a lot better. I didn’t execute any of my plans and went out there slow, and that might be because I was out for half of the season. A lot of points they scored on me were on shots that I took.”

Regional matchups promise to be thrillers VIEWS Dick Goss The Class 4A Lockport Sectional promises to be loaded with tight games, and the potential is there for outcomes that the seeds suggest are upsets.

If there are so-called upsets, however, they will not be stunners. This is one of the most balanced sectional complex fields we in this area ever have seen.

The pairings have been announced, and two regionals of particular interest are at Minooka and Lincoln-Way Central.

Minooka is the No. 1 seed in the sectional. If Romeoville beats Yorkville in the quarterfinal game Monday, the Spartans will challenge Minooka in the first semifinal March 1. You might recall Romeoville beat Minooka once and gave the Indians a battle in their second Southwest Prairie matchup.

The other semifinal at Minooka will pit the Nos. 8 and 9 sectional seeds, Bolingbrook and Lemont. That one is a pick-’em, and either will be a tough out in the regional final.

At Lincoln-Way Central, if Plainfield South can beat Lincoln-Way North in the quarterfinal game, the Cougars would get a shot at Lincoln-Way Central, the sectional’s No 2 seed, in the Tuesday semifinal.

The Wednesday semifinal could be special, with Joliet Central facing improving Plainfield East. And whichever team gets past that game would get a shot at Lincoln-Way Central in the regional final.

Another interesting regional final in the Lockport Sectional will be at Neuqua Valley. Should both teams take care of business in the semifinals, No. 3 seed Joliet West would face No. 6 Plainfield North.

Of course, 4A will not be the only show to watch next week. The 3A regional at Lincoln-Way West in the Streator Sectional will be competitive as well.

Providence, which beat St. Laurence, 54-45, on Saturday to claim third place in the Chicago Catholic League Tournament, has been coming on of late and should beat Tinley Park in the quarterfinal game.

If so, the Celtics would challenge Joliet Catholic, the No. 2 seed in the sectional behind Hillcrest, in the first regional semifinal March 1. The Lincoln-Way West vs. Rich East semifinal could be tight as well.

Regardless of which team wins the regional, it would not run into Hillcrest until the sectional final. Of

The rematch is Friday night at West, and both teams are anxious to beat their rival and head into the postseason with some momentum. course, the sectional winner will play in the supersectional at Joliet Central, probably against mighty Morgan Park.

So, this postseason should produce plenty of fireworks. Meanwhile, here is the way we have the area large schools ranked for this final week of the regular season.

1. Joliet Catholic (19-5): The Hilltoppers have a tough East Suburban Catholic home game Wednesday against St Patrick. They will be shooting for their 20th victory and an above-.500 season in ESCC wars.

2. Minooka (20-8): The Indians are the Southwest Prairie champions, the No. 1 seed in the Lockport Sectional and the first area team to reach 20 victories. They have reached their high mark of the season in these rankings.

3. Lincoln-Way Central (16-7): The Knights fell to Lincoln-Way North last week – and slip down a spot in the

rankings – after having knocked off highly regarded Thornton on Feb. 12.

4. Joliet West (15-9): The Tigers remain a team many feel can win the Lockport Sectional. First, however, they have the renewal of the huge rivalry Friday when Joliet Central visits.

5. Lincoln-Way West (15-8): The Warriors went through a rough patch, but have been begun to string together victories again. Friday night’s game at Lincoln-Way Central should be a dandy.

6. Joliet Central (14-10): The Steelmen are delivering on the defensive end.

They shut out Sandburg in the fourth quarter Friday in a 43-30 victory and held Lincoln to single-digit points in the first half of a 38-26 victory Saturday night.

7. Plainfield North (15-9): Henry Thompson’s 3-pointer in the second overtime lifted the Tigers past Oswego, 78-76, for a sweep of the season se-

ries with the Panthers, who are seeded fourth in the Lockport Sectional while North is sixth.

8. Bolingbrook (12-10): The Raiders beat Lockport and Lincoln-Way East last week and are a team many observers feel can be a factor in the postseason.

9. Plainfield East (14-11): With Lee Higgins and Elyjah Goss leading the way, Bengals have been grinding out victories of late. Their matchup against Joliet Central in the Lincoln-Way Central Regional semifinals should be interesting.

10. Lemont (16-9): The Indians are acting like many of the teams ranked above them. They are winning more often than not as the season winds down, thus adding that much more intrigue to the postseason.

CUBS

Frazier sees potential After Cy Young season, to work to contend with Sox Arrieta gets back Parra, Cubs agrees

By ANDREW SELIGMAN The Associated Press

GLENDALE, Ariz. – Todd Frazier had just purchased a house when he got traded to the White Sox. Two days after that, his daughter was born.

Once he caught his breath and assessed his new situation, Frazier could not help but like what he saw.

“I kind of looked online and saw a lineup of the guys we had,” he said. “I got pretty excited.”

The Sox are counting on Frazier to add some pop to the middle of their lineup and solidify a longtime weakness at third base after acquiring the two-time AllStar from Cincinnati in a deal that also involved the Los Angeles Dodgers in December.

Frazier, meanwhile, is looking forward to suiting up for a team he sees as a playoff contender after the Reds finished last in the NL Central a year ago.

He also is hoping to prove that his second-half struggles were little more than a fluke, a mental lapse brought on by all those losses.

“I was tired, for one,” Frazier said Sunday. “Everybody said your swing was different; it wasn’t different at all. The Home Run Derby had nothing to do with that. I was tired. If you look at what we had going on, we weren’t winning. Nobody wants to play on a losing team. Nothing against the Reds or the team I was playing on, it’s not fun.

When your job’s not fun, sometimes it’s tough to get going.”

The Reds won just 64 games, and while the White Sox didn’t

WHAT TO WATCH

Rollins reaches minor league deal with Sox

GLENDALE, Ariz. – Looking to add an experienced shortstop, the White Sox acquired a former National League MVP. Jimmy Rollins agreed Monday to a minor league contract with the Sox, who hope he can bring provide leadership as well as a solid glove and bat. He would get a $2 million, one-year contract if added to the 40-man roster.

“The move appeals to us on a number of levels,” general manager Rick Hahn said. “It’s another quality option for our infield, some veteran depth in that area where we previously did not have it, and adds to what we feel is a quality mix in the clubhouse. This guy’s a leader, brings energy and a competitive each day.”

– The Associated Press fare much better at 76-86, they still are in a go-for-it mode.

They see the potential for a strong rotation with Chris Sale leading the way and believe slugger Jose Abreu will have enough support if Frazier and some of the high-profile additions from a year ago deliver the way they expected.

That means Adam LaRoche rebounding from a rough season and Melky Cabrera getting off to a better start after struggling in the early going. It also means Frazier putting aside a rough second half and showing the form that made him an All-Star for the second year in a row.

MESA, Ariz. – Sometime around the end of last season or maybe afterward, it hit Jake Arrieta.

He finally grasped that he did not simply dominate down the stretch. He performed at a record level that catapulted him to the Cy Young Award while leading the Cubs to the National League Championship Series.

“I joked with my buddies about this a few times,” Arrieta said Saturday. “I didn’t even really understand the magnitude of the second half that I had until the season was kind of over. I looked at the numbers and I was messing around with a few of my buddies, saying, ‘I don’t know if that second-half ERA will ever be broken.’ You look at guys like Bob Gibson, Sandy Koufax, some of these guys that had incredible seasons a long, long time ago.”

Arrieta’s season was as dominant as any and his second half reached historic proportions.

All he did last year was lead the majors in wins while going 22-6 and posting a 1.77 ERA. As impressive as those numbers are, they don’t quite tell the complete story.

His ERA after the All-Star break was 0.75. The righthander went 11-0 over his final 12 starts, and he finished with 236 strikeouts. Arrieta also tossed a no-hitter and beat Zack Greinke and Clayton Kershaw for the Cy Young.

to minor league deal

MESA, Ariz. – The Cubs have agreed to a minor league contract with former Milwaukee Brewers and Cincinnati Reds pitcher Manny Parra.

Parra would get a $520,000, one-year contract if added to the 40-man roster and would have the chance to earn $900,000 in performance bonuses and $1.28 million in roster bonuses.

General manager Jed Hoyer confirmed the move on Monday, saying the Cubs “have always thought highly” of Parra.

The 33-year-old left-hander spent the past three seasons with Cincinnati after playing his first five in Milwaukee. He has pitched out of the bullpen the past four years.

– The Associated Press All that from a guy who had never won more than 10 games.

Now, Arrieta is one of the most important figures as the Cubs try to bring home their first championship since 1908 after a breakthrough 97-win season.

To that end, manager Joe Maddon plans to bring him along slowly in spring training and monitor his innings after watching him throw a career-high 229 a year ago.

That easily surpassed his previous high of 1562/3 in 2014, and Arrieta and the Cubs believe the heavy workload ultimately wore him out when it mattered most.

NFL

Teams use scouting combine for more than numbers game

By MICHAEL MAROT The Associated Press

INDIANAPOLIS – Football fans see the NFL’s annual scouting combine as merely a numbers game that comes down to the times, jumps and drills they witness on television.

NFL executives are more interested in getting behind-the-scenes answers through medical checks and personal interviews. It’s a delicate balancing act.

“When we finally get the measurables on the underclassmen, when we find out where they are medically, where they are physically, where they are with the interviews, then we’ll have a better idea (of where they rank),” ESPN draft analyst Mel Kiper Jr. said on a conference call with reporters Monday, one day before the first players begin arriving in Indianapolis.

Sure, the workouts matter.

Chris Johnson’s draft skyrocketed after breaking the combine record with a 4.24-second 40-yard dash in 2008.

Cornerback Byron Jones jumped up draft boards – literally – after a record-breaking broad jump of 12 feet, 3 inches last February. Both wound up being first-round picks. The ramifications for those who underperform or sit out can be damaging, too.

In 2014, quarterback Teddy Bridgewater decided not to throw in Indy, then had a less-than-stellar pro day at Louisville.

The result: A player thought to be in the running as the No. 1 overall pick still was available at the end of the first round, a plummet that cost Bridgewater big bucks.

He led the Minnesota Vikings to the 2015 NFC North title this season.

The most costly mistakes come when teams miss red flags.

Two years after Cleveland took Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Johnny Manziel, his off-the-field problems have led to wide speculation the Browns will release their once future franchise quarterback.

San Diego and Oakland found themselves in similar dilemmas with Ryan Leaf and JaMarcus Russell through the years.

That’s why longtime NFL decision-makers, such as Hall of Fame executive Bill Polian, insist the most essential component during combine week is what nobody actually sees – real answers to some basic questions from the more than 300 players who show up each February, especially from players who have histories of injuries or off-the-field troubles.

Some other things to watch this week: Medical tests: Nobody might have more at stake this week than two of this year’s top-rated linebackers, UCLA’s Myles Jack and Notre Dame’s Jaylon Smith.

Both finished their seasons with torn knee ligaments and while both could be taken among the first 15 picks, this week will be the first time NFL doctors have a real chance to get a peek at their recoveries.

Personnel moves: The next big players in the NFL are likely to take a backseat to some of the current biggest names in the league during the first two days of the combine, when coaches and general managers typically provide offseason updates. With free agency looming, expect to hear plenty about the futures of players such as Robert Griffin III, Peyton Manning and Manziel among others.

Having ‘good’ bacteria in your gut is important for overall health

By JEANNE MILLSAP

Shaw Media Correspondent The more science discovers about the world of microorganisms living inside of us and the health and disease they govern in our bodies, the greater the realization of the importance of keeping those organisms flourishing – the healthful ones, that is.

The bacteria and other microbiota living mostly in our gut – the gastrointestinal tract from the stomach to the rectum – has been called a thriving garden of 10 trillion microbes of hundreds or thousands of different species, according to the National Institutes of Health.

How people care for those gardens can mean the difference between health and illness.

The benefits of healthy gut flora

According to Silver Cross Hospital gastroenterologist Dr. Douglas Lee, GI bacteria strengthens the immune system by generating antibodies.

“The gut is one of the largest organs in our body. It has a lot of white blood cells along the tract,” Lee said.

A recent study in the medical journal, “Cell Host and Microbe,” found beneficial bacteria in the gut play a key role in the development of macrophages, monocytes and neutrophils, which are the white blood cells that provide first-line defense against pathogens, or harmful germs.

When people have a thriving, balanced flora in the gut, Lee said, infection-causing bacteria that enter into the intestines and colon can have less of an impact.

“Everyone’s different in their flora,” Lee said. “We all have bad bacteria living in our gut ... but the good bacteria balances that and helps prevent it from taking over our gut.”

These little organisms even impact places where they don’t exist, such as in the blood, spleen, brain and bone marrow.

“The nutrients and vitamin K and biotin they produce can keep other organs healthy,” Lee said. “Gut flora plays a big role in producing vitamins and short-chain fatty acids, which help the intestine grow and stay healthy.”

Causes and consequences of imbalance

Morris Hospital gastroenterol-

Adding fruits, vegetables and yogurt to your diet can promote the growth of healthy gut flora. ogist Dr. Bashar Hamad said the disruption of gut flora can lead to diarrhea, abdominal cramps and malabsorption of vitamins, among other conditions.

“It’s very important to have a balanced bacterial [colonization] in our gut,” Hamad said.

That’s why antibiotics can sometimes cause diarrhea, Hamad said.

Although antibiotics are sometimes necessary to kill dangerous infections, they can also kill the bacteria in the gut.

“Antibiotics kill some of the bacteria,” Hamad said, “making room for more bacteria to multiply. ... This is one reason why C. diff can multiply.”

People who take medication, such as proton pump inhibitors, to decrease stomach acid may also alter their gut bacteria, Hamad said.

Stomach acid normally is a strong barrier to microorganisms, accord-

ing to Hamad, and when that acid is neutralized, more bacteria may make it through to the intestines and colon.

Lee agreed, but added that many of those who are on long-term stomach acid inhibitors need to take them to treat or prevent Barrett’s esophagus, a condition that can lead to a dangerous esophageal cancer.

So how can people protect their gut flora, especially if they need to take medications that may alter it?

Eating a diet that is good for gut bacteria is good for us in the end, Lee said, and that includes vegetables, beans and other fiber.

Lee feels even healthy adults could benefit from probiotics, which are pills or liquids full of good bacteria.

He particularly recommends kefir, a drink that contains bacterial and yeast strains; yogurt; and VSL cultures, which he said can be mixed with yogurt for consumption.

Know more According to Mayo Clinic, people who take medications to reduce stomach acid – such as proton pump inhibitors – have a higher risk for C. difficile, a bacterium that can cause diarrhea and life-threatening inflammation of the colon.

Other risk factors, according to the clinic’s website, include taking antibiotics, having inflammatory bowel disease or colorectal cancer, a weakened immune system, or gastrointestinal procedures, including surgery.

Older adults are most at risk.

If patients experience loose stools with antibiotics, which may signal C. difficile, the website states they should see their doctors if they also have: • three or more watery stools a day • symptoms lasting more than two days • a new fever • severe abdominal pain or cramping • blood in their stool

Smoking habit linked to nicotine Dear Dr. K: I’ve decided to quit smoking.

Do you think low-nicotine cigarettes could be a good stepping-stone to kicking the habit completely?

Dear Reader: I’m always glad when readers ask about how to quit smoking.

It causes so many health problems and so much misery. And while it’s not easy, people can quit smoking. Yet millions of adults and teenagers continue to smoke. The main reason is nicotine.

Nicotine is a stimulant that makes smokers feel calm and relaxed. It also is the addictive substance found in all tobacco products. The more you smoke, the more you need to smoke to feel good. It’s the pull of nicotine that makes quitting so difficult.

Recently a team of researchers set out to answer a similar question to the one you asked. In essence, they wanted to know: If you could reduce the amount of nicotine in cigarettes, would it help people quit?

Or might it cause them to smoke more to compensate?

The researchers followed more than 800 adults who smoked at least five cigarettes a day. These study volunteers had no desire to quit smoking. They were asked to either continue smoking their regular brand of cigarette or to smoke one of six types of investigational cigarettes. These cigarettes contained varying amounts of nicotine, ranging from 15.8 milligrams (mg) of nicotine per gram of tobacco (the amount found in most commercial brands) all the way down to 0.4 mg per gram. The smokers were followed for six weeks.

The results were unexpected. The people given the lower-nicotine cigarettes smoked 23 percent to 30 percent fewer cigarettes a day than those who smoked the cigarettes with 15.8 mg of nicotine per gram. Perhaps even more surprising, the low-nicotine cigarette smokers also had reduced depen-

SUDOKU

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff dence on nicotine – and fewer cravings for cigarettes when they weren’t smoking.

This study lasted only six weeks. We’ll need longer trials to help us really understand whether low-nicotine cigarettes are a “safer” option for people who are trying to quit.

In the meantime, if you want to quit, nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) can help you overcome the physical addiction of nicotine. NRT comes in many forms, including patches, lozenges, gum and nasal sprays.

Prescription drugs, such as bupropion (Zyban) and varenicline (Chantix), also can help smokers quit. They reduce physical cravings and make smoking less enjoyable.

These methods work especially well when combined with behavioral supports, such as talk therapy.

My patients who are contemplating quitting often get hung up on a misconception.

They ask, “The damage already is done, so what’s the use of quitting?” In fact, here’s what happens after you smoke your last cigarette. After 12 hours, your tissues are better able to get needed oxygen from your blood. Within one month, your lungs begin to recover. After one year, your risk of a having a heart attack, a stroke or getting lung cancer begins to fall.

It isn’t easy, but you can quit. There are more ex-smokers in the United States today than there are smokers.

ANSWER TO PREVIOUS PUZZLE

C O N K

your friends what you’re doing sends the wrong message. When a woman wears a diamond on the third finger of her left hand in this culture, it means she’s not available. Nowhere have I ever heard it signifies she’s successful at work.

However, I am puzzled about one thing: Can you please explain, since you refuse to wear the ring on another finger or give it up, why you are asking me for advice?

Dear Abby: My husband talks out loud and carries on conversations with himself. Sometimes when I’m in another room, I hear him talking, and I think he must be on the phone or someone is here.

Is this a brain disorder, and is there a name for it? – Curious In The East Dear Curious: I don’t think it’s a brain disorder, so quit worrying. When I do this – and I admit I sometimes do – and my husband mentions it, I tell him I’m talking to the person who understands me the best. (If it was something to worry about, I would probably have been certified long ago.)

P.S. If this bothers you, ask him to speak more softly.

Dear Abby: No DEAR ABBY matter what I do, I am never Jeanne satisfied. I have Phillips a great wife and two great kids, yet I always feel as if I could have done better with my life. I go to work, and no matter how hard I work, I feel as if I never get recognition for it. When I go out with friends, we have a great time, but I never feel like I really am part of the group. I feel like the outcast who gets invited just so they won’t feel bad.

I don’t know why I feel this way. I do suffer from depression and have spoken to a specialist.

People often tell me I spread myself too thin and never relax enough to enjoy my success. But how can I relax when I always feel unsatisfied with my efforts? – Just Not Satisfied Dear Not Satisfied: A way to do that would be to start by examining why you are so hard on yourself. Whether it was caused by parents who didn’t give you the validation you needed while growing up or a lack of self-esteem, until you understand why you are hurting yourself this way, your problem won’t be resolved. You say you have spoken to “a specialist” about your depression. Perhaps it’s time for another visit and a chat about what’s really bothering you.

Dear Abby: Years ago when I was married, I bought a beautiful two-carat solitaire ring as a sign of my accomplishment at work. Now that I’m divorced, I continue to wear the ring on my wedding ring finger.

I love the ring, but my mother and friends say I am chasing away suitors who mistake it for an engagement ring. Do you agree with them? I don’t want to wear this on any other finger and have no plans to give it up. – Stubborn

HOROSCOPE

By EUGENIA LAST

Newspaper Enterprise Association TODAY – Take on a partner or collaborate with someone who is heading in the same direction as you. This can be a progressive year if you stay focused on the goals you set. Treat any challenge you face with positive thought and energy in order to succeed.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – You’ll have opportunities galore if you participate in events or programs you believe in. Partnerships look favorable as long as you insist on equality in all your dealings and negotiations.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Don’t give in to a bully trying to manipulate you. Take action and

establish what you want in order to gain the freedom you need to pursue your plans.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – If you involve yourself in events that interest you, you will meet someone worthwhile. A change in attitude will take place if you are subject to a different way of doing things.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Your dedication will lead to prosperity. Now is not the time to let someone else handle your affairs or manipulate your mind. Do what’s best for you. Romance is favored.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Partnerships, new friendships and educational events will add to your knowledge and improve your life. Changes at home will be comforting.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Your charm and ability

to entertain will draw interest in whatever you do or say. A change at work or in an important partnership looks promising.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Emotional matters will surface if you let someone’s demands get to you. Don’t give in when you should be setting a standard that puts an end to anyone trying to take advantage of you.

cannot do. Strive for excellence if you want to be given greater freedom.

Charles Victor Cherbuliez, a 19th-century French novelist, said, “What helps luck is a habit of watching for opportunities, of having a patient, but restless mind, of sacrificing one’s ease or vanity, of uniting a love of detail to foresight, and of passing through hard times bravely and cheerfully.”

Some bridge players are thought to be lucky, but the more you practice, especially with a partner, the “luckier” you will be.

Let’s see how lucky you can be on this deal. Take the East cards. Your partner leads the spade king against six hearts. With which card would you signal?

South’s opening bid promised a good eight-card suit and some 6-10 points, but he might have had a stronger hand if willing to gamble that a slam was unmakable and that he wanted to try to silence the opponents. Here, of course, he found partner with a very strong hand. North used Blackwood before bidding six hearts.

You should see how the contract can be defeated. Two rounds of spades, forcing declarer to ruff in the dummy, will leave him unable to pick up your trump king.

However, if you try to encourage with your spade 10, partner might think that that is a suit-preference signal, indicating that you have a diamond void.

True, if you had had a void, you would have made a Lightner Slam Double to ask for an unusual lead.

But you do not need to rely on partner. Overtake the spade king with your ace and return a spade.

When you see the killing defense, take control.
