Shad Hallihan to take over in July

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Shad Hallihan will become the new principal for Joliet Central High School in July.

Hallihan, a West High School assistant principal since 2007, will replace John Randich, who is retiring at the end of the school year.

School officials went through several rounds in a selection process to find a replacement.

Joliet Township High School District 204 Board members unanimously approved Hallihan for the position at Tuesday’s meeting. He will serve in that role effective July 1.

School officials, parents, students, board members

and administrator representatives were part of the selection process for a new principal, according to the school district.

Hallihan will be returning to familiar grounds at Central High School, where he served as an English teacher in 1995 before becoming the district assistant athletic director in 2001.

He said at Tuesday’s meeting there are many people at Central High School he still knows.

“I’ve been at [West High School] now for 11 years, so one of the challenges for me right away is to get to know all the people who I don’t quite know yet and learn about them and learn about the things they’re proud of at

their school,” he said.

Randich and Hallihan will work together to come up with a comprehensive transition plan in the coming months.

“My goal is to make sure all of our students at Joliet Central are given the opportunities and resources they need to be successful,” Hallihan said.

Randich, who’s been a Central High School principal for nine years, had his retirement date set four years ago.

He will receive his maximum pension, having reached the age of 60 and completed 34 years of service for the school district.

Other board matters

Board members approved a report on the 2014-2015 winter credit recovery program offered by the school district during winter break.

D-202 candidates voice views

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – Candidates for the Plainfield School District 202 Board of Education agreed on many pressing issues, but separated themselves through their main goals, during a forum Tuesday.

“Each of the candidates were good and had their own goals,” said board President Roger Bonuchi, who isn’t running for re-election in the April 7 election.

District residents Heather Drake, Kevin Kirberg, Greg Nichols and Sharlyne Williams are running for the three open seats. Each term is for four years.

They answered questions solicited by the Coordination of Administration and Parent Group for Educational Efficiency, or CAPE, during the past several weeks.

CAPE hosted the forum, with Plainfield Township Trustee Matthew Starr moderating. About 50 people heard each candidate answer the questions.

Bonuchi said he thought Kirberg and Nichols expressed their dedication well.

But he was also glad that there were female candidates for the board.

He was impressed with Williams’ experience and said Drake paid her dues through CAPE and the district to be qualified.

Heather Drake

Drake is a 19-year Plainfield resident with two daughters at Plainfield North. She has been active in many school committees and is also involved in CAPE. Her specific goals are to make elective courses more accessible for high school students.

One way she wants to do that is to add an additional period to the class.

Kevin Kirberg

Kirberg is an incumbent board member running for his second term. He chairs the Applied Learning and Technology Committee and has been involved with school policy.

Kirberg said the district is on a good path and needs to make sure it moves forward on initiatives like an all-day kindergarten and foreign languages in middle schools.

Greg Nichols

Nichols also is an incumbent and has served as board secretary for the past two years. He has lived in Plainfield for 16 years and chairs the Finance Committee, as well as several other boards at social and private institutions.

Nichols had two objectives he wants to accomplish in a second term. First, he wants to rebuild some of the fund balance lost when the district weathered the recession. And he also wants to make sure the curriculum and public schools are “pro-America” and incorporate local patriotism in place of political correctness.

Sharlyne Williams

Williams is a 10-year resident who has taught in Chicago and been involved with school business management for 10 years.

She also has experience in accounting, telecommunications and marketing.

If elected, Williams wants to help get rid of unfunded mandates from the state and ensure equitable opportunities for all populations in the school district.

The program, which includes English and math courses, allows students to finish early if they demonstrated they successful remediated their learning gaps, according to school records.

There were 93 students enrolled districtwide, which was almost double the number of students enrolled last year.

The board also approved bid proposals for Internet and network services, along with technology equipment.

Members approved a 60-month ethernet network and Internet services contract with Comcast in the amount of $21,466 per month, with 80 percent reimbursement.

The board also approved a contract with Palo Alto Firewall and Service for about $146,473, with 80 percent reimbursement as well.

Family keeps Merichka’s a destination for 4 generations

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com

C

REST HILL – Merichka “Mary” Zdralevich and her son started selling sandwiches off the porch of her house on 604 Theodore St. in 1933 to satisfy the hunger of factory workers going to and from work.

Within decades, the house had turned into a 120-seat eatery that primarily served the neighborhood while focusing on food and family.

Today, that house is an expanded 300-seat restaurant named after Merichka, serving 5,000 people per week.

And it has become a staple of Crest Hill and Illinois cuisine.

“It kept snowballing and getting bigger through expansions into what it is today,” said Joe Zdralevich Jr., Merichka’s grandson and the restaurant’s co-owner.

Zdralevich Jr., his sister Mary Kay and brother George own the restaurant, which in January received the “Enjoy Illinois: Delicious Destination” award by the Illinois Office of Tourism.

The distinction is given out to the top 25 restaurants in the state that are “authentically Illinois” and “are beloved destinations for visitors and locals alike,” according to a news release by the Office of Tourism and Heritage Corridor Convention and Visitors Bureau.

Merichka’s is famous for its version of the “poorboy” sandwich, a long sub sandwich consisting of cooked meat on French bread that originated in Louisiana.

The restaurant was also lauded for its longevity, being named the oldest family-run restaurant in Will County, now in its fourth generation of management.

Zdralevich Jr. said Merichka’s has kept customers coming and attracted more

Restaurant owners on recipes for survival

By BOB OKON bokon@shawmedia.com

Crest Hill resident Gen Klainsek, a Merichka’s regular, remembers the first time she dined there 62 years ago, when she was 18.

JOLIET – Restaurants in downtown Joliet have come and gone in recent years. But some have had staying power.

The secret ingredients to success seem to be a combination of hard work, good food and a little help from family and friends.

Pat Reimer opened Chicken-N-Spice in 1979 – just when businesses were leaving downtown for the new indoor malls.

“I thought to myself, ‘Good choice, Pat. Way to go,’ ” said Reimer, looking back at the decision to open in a spot that had been a Jack in the Box. Downtown has been in transition ever since. But Reimer said it is a market with opportunity.

“There’s 5,000 people downtown,” she said, citing the estimated number of daily workers. “There’s lots of business for all of us.”

Reimer first opened Chicken-N-Spice in Rockford and Beloit. Neither site survived. Joliet was closer to home, and Reimer could be there daily.

“I had faith and confidence in my product,” she said. “I felt it needed my total attention.”

Consistency is important, Reimer said. Chicken-N-Spice, 251 N. Chicago St., opens every day at 7:30 a.m. Her recipes have not changed since 1979.

Eight decades

The restaurant passed from Merichka to her son Joe Zdralevich Sr. After his death in 1989, ownership went to his three children, who have kept the restaurant afloat through the recession.

Zdralevich Jr.’s son, Joe

Zdralevich III, and Mary Kay George’s son, Ryan George, manage the restaurant and are in line to inherit ownership.

Zdralevich Jr. said the restaurant’s strong family roots and large returning customer base helped it survive several economic downturns as well as a fire that severely damaged it in the early 1990s.

“The hardest part of the recession was when we cut employees,” he said. “But it got us to be a lot more efficient.”

Merichka’s has undergone two significant expansions, Zdralevich Jr. said. In the late 1950s and mid-1960s, the restaurant expanded to gain customer space as well as a new kitchen, red room and dish area.

In 1970, a second big expansion created space for a butcher shop, where the restaurant has since cut its own Choice USDA meat. It also included a banquet area, which is now storage for decorations, signs and other items used by the restaurant over its eight decades.

Morris city clerk defeats challenger

By CHRISTINA CHAPMAN–VAN YPEREN cchapman@shawmedia.com

and HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Carol Adair won her first election Tuesday night, keeping her seat as Morris city clerk.

Adair, a Republican, won the primary election against write-in candidate Mary Callahan, with 12 of 12 precincts reporting, according to the Grundy County Clerk’s Office’s unofficial results.

Those results showed Adair with 604 votes and write-in votes at 222. Callahan was the only official write-in candidate for the office. Writein votes will be validated at a later time, according to the clerk’s office.

Adair was appointed as Morris city clerk about a year ago after John Enger retired.

Tuesday was her first election for the position. She will be

As of Tuesday, the Grundy County Clerk’s Office had received 88 early votes, three grace-period votes, 23 in-person votes and 40 absentee ballots returned of 52 mailed out.

The official results will be tallied at 2:30 p.m. March 17 after the two-week period required for absentees to be returned, according to the clerk’s office.

Adair has worked in the clerk’s office and for the water department for eight years. Newcomer Callahan ran against Adair as a writeHeidi Litchfield – hlitchfield@shawmedia.com in candidate after losing an Carol Adair eats dinner with her husband, John, on Tuesday at La Mex objection case of her election restaurant in Morris while they wait to hear election results from the petitions.

primary election.

the only candidate for the position on the April ballot, as no one from any other political parties filed to run.

“I’m feeling optimistic, hopeful and encouraged,” she said after four of the 12 precincts had reported results.

“I’ll have to wait and see but I’m excited. I feel very honored at this early point that it is going this way. I’m ready for it to be over. I’ve always felt support.”

Callahan could not be reached by press time.

Aldermanic primary

According to unofficial results, the 2nd Ward on the Morris City Council appears to have a new alderman.

Unofficial results from the Grundy County Clerk’s Office show 227 write-in votes and 136 votes for Republican in-

cumbent Julian Houston.

The write-in candidate running against Houston was former Morris police chief Doug Hayse. Write-in votes were presumably for Hayse, but those votes will not be validated until a later time.

Whoever officially wins the race will be the lone candidate on the April ballot for the 2nd Ward, as no one from any other political party filed to run.

Hayse, 57, ran as a writein candidate against Houston after the Morris Municipal Officers Electoral Board ruled in favor of an objector to his petition for the election.

Hayse served as Morris police chief for almost 16 years.

He retired from Morris in 2007 to become Minooka’s police chief, a job he resigned from in 2010.

Houston, 70, was first elected to the Morris City Council in 2011. He beat out then-incumbent Don Barkley.

Getting Homer Glen primary results will take time Many votes for write-in candidates complicates election tally

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com HOMER GLEN – Vehicles carrying ballots began trickling into the Will County Clerk’s Office parking lot in Joliet about a half-hour after the polls closed at 7 p.m. Tuesday – but it could be some time before the final results from the Homer Glen primary are known.

“I’m starting to see cars pull up,” Will County Clerk Nancy Schultz Voots said Tuesday night.

It was nearing the end of a long day for election judges recruited to help out in Homer Glen’s primary election – a “rare” contest forced when nearly two dozen people mounted efforts to run as write-ins after two candidates

– mayoral candidate George Yukich and village trustee candidate Beth Rogers – were thrown off the April 7 ballot over a question of proper paperwork.

To work around that, both Yukich and Rogers rallied support after learning state election law would require a primary election be held if more than four times the number of candidates on the ballot were to petition to run as write-ins.

The top two candidates for mayor and village clerk and top six candidates for village trustee from the primary will appear on the ballot for the April 7 election.

WIth all 16 precincts reporting, there were 1,107 votes cast for mayoral incumbent James P. Daley Jr., while 1,750 votes were cast for write-in candi-

dates, according to the Will County clerk’s website.

Incumbent Village Clerk Gale Skrobuton received 1,271 votes, while write-in candidates received 1,434.

For the village trustee race, Marcia DeVivo received 1,189 votes; Kevin Hoffmeister received 1,151; Jay M. Bradarich Sr. received 1,103; and writein candidates received 3,712 votes.

Voter turnout ranged from about 6 percent in New Lenox Precinct 2 to 27 percent in Precinct 10.

Until election judges tally and verify each of the write-in candidates’ names, it’s unclear which candidate will prevail.

The county clerk’s office will canvas the results March 10 after all provisional ballots are counted.

Unofficial election results MAYOR VILLAGE TRUSTEE • James P. Daley Jr. – 1,107 (38.75 • Marcia DeVivo – 1,189 (16.62 percent) percent) • Write-ins – 1,750 (61.25 percent) • Kevin Hoffmeister – 1,151 (16.09 percent) VILLAGE CLERK • Jay M. Bradarich Sr. – 1,103 • Gale Skrobuton – 1,271 (46.99 (15.42 percent) percent) • Write-ins – 3,712 (51.88 • Write-ins – 1,434 (53.01 percent) percent)

Who ran?

• Incumbent Homer Glen Mayor James Daley was the only mayoral candidate printed on the primary ballot. Gale Skrobuton was the only candidate on the ballot for village clerk. Village trustee candidates Marcia DeVivo, Kevin Hoffmeister and Jay Bradarich were also listed on the ballot.

• Trustee George Yukich, Broque Backal, Mike Costa, Peter Kula and Jeffery Rogers filed as write-

ins for mayor. Skrobuton was challenged by write-ins Camille Anello, Gia Cassin, Ann Holtz, Jane Nativo and Sharon O’Neill.

• Trustee write-ins were Cameron Anello, Jim Cahill, Carlo Caprio, Susan Kula, Shana Murphy, Christina Neitzke-Troike, Sean O’Neill, Mark Pahios, Dave Pajeau, George Porter, John Rochetto, Beth Rodgers and Laurel Ward.

JOLIET – Will County sheriff’s deputies testified Tuesday about their investigation into the death of a man gunned down in his garage three years ago.

Erik Hernandez, 32, is on trial on charges of murder and attempted murder. On March 19, 2012, Juan A. Gonzalez, 39, and Ricardo Martinez were in the garage at Gonzalez’s house in the 2500 block of Hacker Drive in unincorporated Crest Hill. Prosecutors said Hernandez and another man came through the open garage door and confronted the men inside.

Prosecutors said Hernandez shot and wounded Martinez while another gunman, whom Martinez couldn’t see clearly, killed Gonzalez.

Martinez testified earlier this week he identified Hernandez from police lineups.

Defense lawyers said Gonzalez was killed as part of a drug deal gone bad and Hernandez was never there.

Sgt. Jeremy Viduna testified Tuesday that detectives were given Hernandez’s name from Martinez’s brother while Martinez was in the hospital.

Assistant Will County State’s Attorney Tom Slazyk asked Detective Brian O’Leary if Eduardo Martinez was the “only source for Erik Hernandez’s name,” but the defense objected before O’Leary could answer.

Grasia Gonzalez, Juan’s widow, testified last week she looked through the glass window of the door to the garage and saw a man standing behind Martinez, but her view of his face was partly obscured.

O’Leary testified Tuesday that Grasia Gonzalez selected two men from different photo lineups, but neither was Erik Hernandez, who Hernandez also was among the mugshots.

One of those men she identified also was named by Martinez when Grasia Gonzalez was on the phone with 911 the night of the shooting. Martinez said “[a man’s] friends” were responsible for the shooting, according to the recording.

Martinez testified he gave that name in error while thinking of another man Gonzalez told him was coming over a few minutes before the shooting.

“Martinez said it was odd Juan was doing business with [the man he expected] because they’d had a beef in the past,” Viduna said.

Neither the man whom Martinez expected, nor the man named during the 911 call, have been charged in connection with the case.

Judge Amy BertaniTomczak told jurors she expects the trial will conclude Wednesday or Thursday.

ELWOOD – A truck driver was not injured Tuesday morning when his semitrailer rolled over while leaving Interstate 55 on the Arsenal Road ramp, state police said.

The accident happened about 10:45 a.m., police said. The truck was heading south at the time. All lanes remained open.

Accusations fly over rail crossing Elwood officials say IDOT leaves them off emails

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com CHICAGO – Accusations flew Tuesday during an Illinois Commerce Commission hearing in Chicago over the Walter Strawn Drive railroad crossing closure.

Elwood attorneys accused Illinois Department of Transportation officials of intentionally omitting village officials and ICC staff from recent email correspondences and of trying to keep village attorneys from sitting in on a recent IDOT meeting pertaining to long-term engineering solutions to the crossing closure.

“It’s a criminal violation for individuals to try to thwart the intention of the Open Meetings Act,” Paul Streicher, attorney for Elwood, told

the administrative law judge overseeing the case Tuesday.

The railroad crossing has been a point of contention for some time, pitting Elwood village officials against CenterPoint Properties, the developer of two nearby trucking intermodals, in a series of hearings on how to best address safety concerns there.

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

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

The next IDOT meeting is scheduled for April 24, and the state agency will “make every effort” to include every stakeholder on the email list, IDOT attorney Lawrence Parrish said Tuesday.

Parrish also told the administrative law judge the state agency has “new evi-

dence” showing the negative effects the closure has had on the region. IDOT officials joined CenterPoint Properties earlier this month in filing separate requests to the ICC to reopen the crossing and to hold additional hearings on the matter.

“Just to touch on some [evidence] is that the truckers that are being diverted are using Laraway Road. ... There’s a school on Laraway Road and that is a serious safety concern, with the increased truck traffic there,” Parrish said.

Elwood attorneys also questioned IDOT’s recent request, noting it is a “complete contradiction” of IDOT’s earlier concurrence with the ICC’s order to close the crossing.

The administrative law judge agreed to Streicher’s request for a 60-day discovery period so he can look into IDOT’s “total turnaround” and whether the “newfound evidence” to be presented holds merit.

In its earlier filing, IDOT said neither Will County

Early Diners Special!

nor Joliet issues overweight trucking permits – a move that has severely restricted truck traffic in the nearby intermodals. Will County, however, earlier this month approved an increase for overweight trucks on Arsenal Road.

The ordinance is only in effect for a 90-day period, Parrish said.

“Our concern is, what do we do after the 90 days?” Parrish said.

The administrative law judge overseeing the case asked that IDOT officials report back to her during a March 26 hearing on the progress made in studying the logistics of a grade separation near Walter Strawn Drive and Route 53.

She also requested an update on another study of the Illinois Route 53 corridor, which stretches from Route 52 south to west Arsenal Road.

The full ICC board has until March 9 to respond to IDOT’s request for reopening the crossing.

An automatic standby generator is a back up electrical system that operates whether you are home or away.

Within seconds of an outage, it automatically supplies power directly to your home’s electrical circuit breaker box. After utility power returns, the generator shuts itself off and waits for the next outage. It operates on natural gas or liquid propane gas and it sits outside just like a central air conditioning unit.

one of the biggest capital projects the library has faced. The existing window wall was so in need of repair it would bend at a finger’s touch.

At one point, the library board considered taking legal action against Continental.

Continental did not respond to multiple requests for comment Tuesday or several other times over the past three months.

Idea 60: The City of Joliet needs to enforce building and property maintenance codes for non-owner occupied single and multi-family homes….

vshanker@shawmedia.com SHOREWOOD – The much-delayed construction project at the Shorewood-Troy Public Library had progressed to the installation of glass windows Tuesday.

Contractors have installed most of the glass for the window wall, which has remained under construction the past six months.

“Yes, I’m relieved it’s moving forward,” Library Director Jennie Mills said.

Construction has picked up since the library fired a previous contractor that officials said delayed the project multiple times, and hired RoMAAS Inc. to handle it.

RoMAAS owner Alex Mihailescu resumed the project last week, and expects the remaining work, including drywall, inspections, brickwork and wall painting, to be finished within three weeks.

“Most of the framing and glass is in, just the triangle at the top that is left,” Mihailescu said. “There were absolutely no issues with subcontractors.”

Mills said the library expects to make the estimated March 20 completion date.

But the work may be finished sooner.

Gas station purchase OK’d

In other action, the village is moving ahead with plans to redevelop its downtown. The board approved an amended contract with L & B Business

Enterprises Inc. to purchase the BP gas station at 103 Maple Road, at the intersection of Cedar Road and Route 30, for $1.7 million.

This is an increase of about $500,000 from the amount in the original contract, approved last summer. The increase was necessary to get all parties on board, Village Administrator Kurt Carroll said.

As part of its strategic plan, the village has been proactively approaching businesses to purchase property and also invite others to its downtown, Carroll said.

With the purchase of the BP gas station, the village has spent $2.9 million, Carroll said. It has purchased a dry cleaners, the Pit Stop bar and the House of Hughes restaurant, which are adjacent to the station.

The village announced last

month that Mokena-based Fleckenstein’s Bakery will open a new store on that site.

There is another major buyer that would take the majority of that site, but has requested to stay anonymous as it awaits corporate approval, Carroll said.

Baldermann said last December that sales tax from the new businesses will help the village build a new Metra train station in the area.

The board Monday night also approved a contract with Safe Environmental Corporation to remove asbestos – for $5,250 – from the Pit Stop and dry cleaner buildings, which is necessary before they are demolished.

A contract for that demolition was also approved with Bisping Construction Inc. for $27,240.

Finally, the village ap-

proved annexation and rezoning ordinances for the 40-acre Crossings at Spring Creek site. The petition was filed by Gompers-Lewis LLC.

Lincoln-Way student remembered

Separately, Baldermann addressed the Feb. 13 accident that killed Lincoln-Way Central High School student Dylan R. Wischover.

A semitrailer fatally struck Wischover, 17, of Manhattan near the school at Route 30 and Schoolhouse Road.

Baldermann said he was confident the incident was a “tragic accident.”

“Some bad information gets out there sometimes, but I can assure that it was a terrible accident,” Baldermann said.

“Our thoughts and prayers go out to that family that is suffering.”

NEW LENOX – New Lenox Mayor Tim Baldermann said he will fight Gov. Bruce Rauner’s proposal to cut in half local municipalities’ shares of state income tax funds.

Baldermann announced at the end of Monday’s Village Board meeting that he, along with other local mayors, will head down to Springfield to fight for money from the Local Government Distributive Fund.

New Lenox receives about $2.4 million from state income tax, and cutting that in half would directly affect the village’s ability to supply police, fire and other services to residents, Baldermann said.

“It’s not right that a government like New Lenox that operates in the black should be

penalized for being efficient – penalized by a governmental body that has been wasteful with their spending,” Baldermann said. “This is not the first time that local government has been on the hook for Springfield’s poor decision-making.

“We will fight tooth and nail.”

Longtime Trustee Annette Bowden encouraged residents to call their state representatives to protest the proposed cuts. Information on where to call and send letters is available on the village of New Lenox website, www.newlenox. net, she said.

old man with a mental disability was walking near Wagner Road and Walter Lane when he was struck in the head by the passenger side mirror of a 2004 Honda Pilot.

Neal told Judge Edward Burmila that witnesses said the passenger side windows of the Pilot were completely fogged or frosted over.

“Police canvassed the neighborhood and found [Wisniewski’s] mirror ducttaped to the vehicle,” Neal

said. “The defendant made a statement he’d been on his way to church and admitted there was fog on the passenger side of the windshield. He knew he’d hit something, but didn’t see what it was.”

Witnesses called 911 after the collision and the pedestrian was placed in intensive care with bleeding on his brain.

Neal said the man has recovered from his injuries, and his family agreed with the plea deal.

By JEANNE MILLSAP Shaw Media correspondent CHANNAHON – Channahon School District 17’s four grade schools will receive extensive technology upgrades this summer, making it easier for students and teachers to access the Internet in the classroom.

For an amount not to exceed $875,265, Sentinel Technologies will perform a “network refresh” project and install low-voltage wiring throughout the district’s buildings during summer break.

The two-month project will involve extensive wiring of every classroom, according to Technology Director David

Bergstrom. It will increase network speed from 100 megabytes per second to 1,000, and to 10,000 from one network closet to another, he said.

Before the board approved the project, teachers testified in person or by written comment on how the upgrades would improve their classrooms.

“I feel like I can take my lessons to new places,” wrote sixth-grade teacher Katie Kern.

The most immediate need to be met by the upgrades is online standardized testing students take, such as MAP and the new PARCC. Schools can handle giving students the exams now, but just barely,

and students and teachers in classes not taking the exams must refrain from using the Internet while testing is conducted in other classrooms.

While all board members favored the better technology, some did not want to include Pioneer Path School in the work.

The district is considering closing the school and merging its students with its other schools. Enrollment has declined and is projected to continue falling.

The board plans to discuss the school consolidation in May, once a new board is seated following local elections in April, and at least three board members said they were un-

Enrollment prompts employment changes

The school board Monday also approved two personnel changes based on declining enrollment.

Projections show only three students will be enrolled in the district’s early childhood special education program next year, so the district is discontinuing the program and the employment of the

program’s teacher, Kimberly Wandless, as well as paraprofessional Theresa Hand, beginning at the end of this school year.

The program will be added to the Southern Will County Cooperative for Special Education next year and will be held in the same District 17 location, with Wandless and Hand teaching the class if their employment is approved at the cooperative’s March 10 board meeting.

Superintendent Karin Evans said the addition of early childhood special education students from Laraway, Elwood and Union schools will bring the number of students in the class to 20.

Longtime executive for Coke dies at 88 The ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK – Donald Keough, who helped steer Coca-Cola through the “cola wars” of the 1980s and played a key role in the introduction of New Coke, died Tuesday in Atlanta, according to the company. He was 88.

Keough served as the company’s president and chief operating officer from 1981 to 1993.

He is credited with expanding Coca-Cola into a more global presence and remained a widely Donald respected figure Keough within the company even after his retirement.

During his tenure, however, Coca-Cola also introduced “New Coke” as it was fighting off efforts by PepsiCo to take market share. The new formula, which was sweeter and less acidic than the original, was a disaster and prompted protests by fans and an onslaught of negative publicity.

During a news conference to announce the return of regular Coke, Roberto Goizueta, Coke’s CEO at the time, told the audience that “We have heard you,” according to a book about the company.

Keough then spoke, and managed to put the company’s error in a positive light by noting that the response showed the “passion” people have for Coca-Cola.

“Some critics will say Coca-Cola made a marketing mistake. Some cynics will say that we planned the whole thing.

The truth is we are not that dumb and not that smart,” Keough said.

After his retirement in 1993, Keough remained an adviser to the company. He served on the board from 2004 to 2013.

Moody’s: Rauner’s budget would be ‘hard to implement’

SPRINGFIELD – A top credit rating agency has called GOP Gov. Bruce Rauner’s $32 billion budget proposal “hard to implement” because of likely Democratic opposition in the Illinois Legislature.

Moody’s Investors Service issued a statement Tuesday saying many of Rauner’s ideas are expected to “face strong opposition from Democrats” who control both legislative chambers.

Rauner proposed deep cuts last week to Medicaid, pensions and other programs to bridge a roughly $6 billion budget gap without raising taxes.

Moody’s said the political landscape “may make it difficult to enact even a few key elements of the governor’s proposal, much less the entire plan.”

Rauner has indicated in the past he’s open to broadening the sales tax base to increase revenues.

Survey: Uninsured rate in state for 2014 drops to 11 percent

CHICAGO – An extensive survey shows the share of Illinois residents without health insurance declined 4.5 percentage points as President Barack Obama’s overhaul took full effect.

The Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index was released Tuesday. Gallup pollsters found the Illinois uninsured rate dropped to 11 percent in 2014.

The survey is considered authoritative because it combines the speed of media polls with the thoroughness of large government studies. Pollsters interview 500 people a day,

Jesus Davila Jr., 70, of Naperville appears at a news conference Tuesday in Chicago, where the Illinois Lottery presented him a $265 million check as winner of the jackpot in the Jan. 16 Mega Millions drawing. It was the largest prize in Illinois Lottery history. A retired professional driver, Davila opted to take a one-time payment; after taxes, he will receive $126.8 million. He said he plans to share his windfall with his family, invest and donate to his favorite charities.

Rauner appoints 2 to University of Illinois trustees board

CHAMPAIGN – Gov. Bruce Rauner on Tuesday nominated two University of Illinois graduates with decades of business experience to fill vacancies on the university’s Board of Trustees.

National Academy of Human Resources President Jill Smart and Northern Trust Senior Vice President Ramon Cepeda, both residents of the Chicago suburbs, will take seats on the board that oversees the university’s three campuses if their nominations are confirmed

by the state Senate. Their terms would end in 2021.

Smart, 55, of Downers Grove, is a 1981 business graduate of the university’s flagship campus in Urbana-Champaign, a university biography stated.

A Republican, Smart also has been an adjunct faculty member at the university and lives in Downers Grove, according to Rauner’s office.

Cepeda is a 1990 criminal-justice graduate of the University of Illinois-Chicago and a political independent, according to Rauner’s office.

Cepeda, 47, lives in Darien and has worked at Northern Trust, a Chicago-based financial services company, since 1987, according to the governor’s office. He also has worked at LaSalle bank and other banks.

Flight attendants celebrate 25 years of smoke-free flights

CHICAGO – Flight attendants have celebrated the 25th anniversary of the in-flight smoking ban.

Members of the Association of Flight Attendants-CWA on Monday met Sen. Dick Durbin at Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport to mark the victory they had worked years toward and which Durbin championed as a member of the U.S. House.

Flight attendants urged the National Academy of Sciences in 1986 to study the effects of in-flight smoking.

Moe Kerrigan said the study confirmed what she and colleagues feared. She said her years of working on smoky flights make her more susceptible to bronchitis and pneumonia.

She said while “it seems absurd

today,” the effort was difficult.

Fight at U.S. high court over health law affects Illinois

CHICAGO – A case being heard at the U.S. Supreme Court next week challenges health insurance subsidies for more than 270,000 Illinois residents and many more people in states that did not set up their own insurance exchanges under the U.S. health overhaul.

Any decision against the subsidies, according to an amicus brief signed by Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan and 21 other states, “would destroy state insurance markets and render the [Affordable Care Act] unworkable.” The brief argues that Congress intended the health law to cover all Americans.

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS Justice Dept.: No charges in Trayvon Martin death

MIAMI – George Zimmerman, the former neighborhood watch volunteer who fatally shot Trayvon Martin in a 2012 confrontation with the teenager, will not face federal charges, the Justice Department said Tuesday.

Zimmerman has maintained he acted in self-defense when he shot Martin, 17, during a confrontation inside a gated community in Sanford, Florida, just outside Orlando. Martin, who was black, was unarmed when he was killed. Zimmerman identifies himself as Hispanic.

Once Zimmerman was acquitted of second-degree murder by a state jury in July 2013, Martin’s family turned to the federal probe in hopes he would be held accountable for the shooting.

That probe focused on whether the killing could be charged as a federal hate crime and on whether Zimmerman willfully deprived Martin of his civil rights.

But Justice Department officials said they ultimately determined there was insufficient evidence to prove Zimmerman killed the teenager on account of his race.

Obama offered no indication of whether he eventually will issue a permit for the pipeline, whose construction has become a flashpoint in the U.S. debate about environmental policy and climate change.

House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, said Republicans were “not even close” to giving up the fight and derided the veto as a “national embarrassment.” But Republicans haven’t shown they can muster the two-thirds majority in both chambers needed to override Obama’s veto.

Truck stalls on track before fiery train crash, 28 hurt

OXNARD, Calif. – A commuter train slammed into a truck stuck on the tracks early Tuesday, sending three rail cars tumbling onto their sides and injuring 28 people in the fiery crash.

The accident occurred about 5:45 a.m. Four people, including the train engineer, had critical injuries. The truck driver was found disoriented one or two miles away, an Oxnard police official said.

The crash occurred at a spot where the tracks cross an avenue just before an intersection.

The Senate Democratic Caucus, led by Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (center) of Nevada, holds a news conference Tuesday on Capitol Hill to urge Republicans to support a “clean bill” to fund the Homeland Security Department, as that agency’s budget expires later this week.

In a bind, Republicans offer Homeland Security bill vote

By DAVID ESPO and ERICA WERNER The Associated Press WASHINGTON – A partial agency shutdown looming, Senate Republicans offered on Tuesday to permit a vote on Homeland Security funding legislation stripped of immigration provisions backed by conservatives but strongly opposed by President Barack Obama and fellow Democrats.

“We could have that vote very quickly,” Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said as his party struggled to escape a political predicament of its own making involving an agency with major anti-terrorism responsibilities.

McConnell said he did not know how the Republican-controlled House would respond if a stand-alone spending bill passed the Senate. Underscoring the realities of divided government, Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid of Nevada initially said he wouldn’t agree to the proposal unless it had the backing of House Speaker John Boehner.

With many House Repub-

licans still returning to Washington after a weeklong vacation, Boehner’s office issued a statement that neither accepted nor rejected the proposal that McConnell outlined after weeks of gridlock.

“The speaker has been clear: The House has acted, and now Senate Democrats need to stop hiding. Will they continue to block funding for the Department of Homeland Security or not?” said a spokesman, Michael Steel.

Senate Republican officials said McConnell’s offer of a vote on a stand-alone funding bill also envisions a vote on a separate measure to repeal a directive from Obama last fall that shields about 4 million immigrants from deportation even though they live in the United States illegally.

At the same time, the proposal would eliminate an attempt by the House to repeal an earlier presidential order that allows tens of thousands of immigrants to remain in the country if they were brought here illegally as youngsters by their parents.

The maneuvering occurred

as the president’s party raised the specter of terrorism and the Republicans countered that it was the Democrats who were preventing an orderly renewal of funding for the Department of Homeland Security.

At a news conference a few hours before McConnell spoke, Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., urged Republicans to “fund our security and not to send a message to al-Shabab that we’re going to shut down Homeland Security.”

Klobuchar’s state is home to the Mall of America, an enormous facility that was singled out as a potential terror target in a video released

by Al-Shabab, an Islamic militant group linked to the al-Qaida terrorist network.

DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson has urged anyone considering a trip to the shopping mall to be particularly careful.

For their part, Republicans sought to pin the blame for a long-standing standoff on Democrats, pointing out they blocked Senate action four times on the combined funding-immigration bill.

By ZEINA KARAM and RYAN LUCAS The Associated Press BEIRUT – The Islamic State militants struck before dawn, staging house-to-house raids in a cluster of villages nestled along the Khabur River in northeastern Syria. They abducted at least 70 Christians – many of them women and children – while thousands of others fled to safer areas.

The captives’ fate was unclear Tuesday, a day after they were seized, and relatives said mobile phone service was cut off and land lines also were

not going through, adding to the fear and uncertainty about their loved ones. Heavy fighting was reported in the area.

The Islamic State group has a history of killing captives, including foreign journalists, Syrian soldiers and Kurdish militiamen. Most recently, militants in Libya affiliated with the extremist group released a video showing the beheading of 21 Egyptian Christians.

The group’s bloody campaign in Syria and Iraq, where it seeks to form a self-styled caliphate, repeatedly has targeted religious minorities since it took control of a third

of both countries. The United States and coalition of regional partners are conducting a campaign of airstrikes against the group.

The militants struck near the town of Tal Tamr in Hassakeh province, an area predominated by Assyrian Christians. Most of the captives came from Tal Shamiram and some from Tal Hurmiz.

Nuri Kino, the head of a group called A Demand For Action, said between 70 and 100 Assyrians were taken captive.

About 3,000 people fled and have sought refuge in the cities of Hassakeh and Qamishli,

he said, adding that his activist group based its information on conversations with villagers who fled the attack and their relatives. His group focuses on religious minorities in the Middle East.

“Have they been slaughtered? Are they still alive? We’re searching for any news,” said an Assyrian Christian woman from Tal Shamiram who now lives in Beirut. The woman said she has been trying to find out what became of her parents, her brother and his wife and their children, but couldn’t reach anyone in the village.

“I feel so helpless, I cannot

do anything for them but pray,” she said, speaking on condition of anonymity for fear of endangering relatives believed to be held by the militants.

The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which also reported the abductions, put the number of Christians held by the Islamic State group at 90. The Observatory relies on a network of activists inside Syria.

Both groups said that most of the captives come from Tal Shamiram, about 50 miles southwest of the provincial capital of Qamishli, and nearby Tal Hurmiz.

Policemen secure the area Tuesday near the restaurant where a gunman fatally shot eight people before killing himself in Uhersky Brod, eastern Czech Republic.

Gunman, 8 others die in Czech restaurant shooting

By KAREL JANICEK The Associated Press PRAGUE – A gunman opened fire inside a small-town restaurant in eastern Czech Republic on Tuesday, killing eight people and seriously wounding a waitress before he fatally shot himself, officials said. It was the worst shooting attack in the young country’s history.

The gunman was a local man aged around 60, said Patrik Kuncar, mayor of the southeastern town of Uhersky Brod.

Czech public radio said the perpetrator called a local TV station before the attack, complaining that police weren’t solving his problems and threatening that he would “take things into his hands.”

Interior Minister Milan Chovanec, who arrived at the scene, said the man had a gun

license. “It was not a terrorist attack,” he said.

The gunman was armed with two pistols and opened fire at the approaching police officers, Chovanec said.

The Czech Republic became an independent nation in 1993 after the split of Czechoslovakia.

The attack shocked the town of 17,000, 185 miles southeast of Prague, and is home to the Ceska Zbrojovka gun plant.

“Nobody believed anything like that could happen in such a small town,” Kuncar said. “I can hardly imagine what consequences it will have for the future life in this town.”

The victims have been identified and were all from the region, Chovanec said.

The Czech Republic has strict gun control laws, but hunting is popular in the eastern European nation.

JERUSALEM – Isaac Herzog would have faced an uphill climb even in a country without huge security problems and a history of placing its trust in tough guys. But he is running for prime minister in Israel.

Lawyerly and unimposing, the opposition Labor Party leader has much support in key sections of an Israel that does seem ripe for change. But he has struggled to seize momentum as the alternative to Benjamin Netanyahu, a former commando who faces down foes with a baritone and scowl.

Herzog nonetheless is respected as an inventive operator with an easy-to-miss killer instinct. In a briefing with the foreign press Tuesday, he vehemently predicted victory in the March 17 election, pledging to restart peace talks with the Palestinians, freeze construction in most West Bank settlements and fix Israel’s unsettled relations with the world.

“I intend to win, and I will win, and I will be the next prime minister of Israel, and I will replace Benjamin Netanyahu,” he said.

Herzog agreed with the incumbent that “no Israeli

After a cumulative nine years of Netanyahu as prime minister since 1996, polls suggest most Israelis would prefer him gone – but also show Netanyahu leading on personal plausibility.

Herzog probably will not be given another shot. This is the sixth national election since the last one the Labor Party won, in 1999; Herzog is the seventh party leader

during that timespan.

A strong candidate would have decent odds: There is deep malaise about the state of the economy, where despite a rich-world GDP many feel hard-put to get by, and housing has soared beyond the reach of most young people.

There is not much admiration for Netanyahu’s handling of Gaza, where rocket-firing Hamas militants remain in control and have survived several rounds of fighting while Israel faces UN war crimes inquiries.

And there is a widespread sense that Netanyahu’s right wing is dragging the country toward nothing less than the destruction of Jewish state – that through endless Jewish settlement of the West Bank, with its millions of Palestinians, Israel will become unable to ever break free, yielding a Jewish-Arab state instead.

At 54, Herzog is cut from the cloth of these elites. His grandfather was a chief rabbi of Israel and his father was a general, a U.N. ambassador and a president. An uncle – Abba Eban – was a legendary foreign minister. He has served in Cabinets, at times in uneasy coalition with Netanyahu, as minister of tourism and as minister of welfare.

Continued from page 3 “It was real friendly,” Klainsek said. “It was mostly the neighborhood that went there. There weren’t too many restaurants around, and they had good food.”

But she also worked at the restaurant as a waitress for a year.

Ray Soliman, now mayor of Crest Hill, started his first job as a busboy at Merichka’s in 1973. He also washed dishes, bartended and helped with management.

“I made $1.65 an hour working my way through high school and college,” Soliman said. “Many Crest Hill young people worked at Merichka’s at some point growing up.”

Heather Highbaugh has worked at Merichka’s for the past 18 years. What keeps her at the restaurant is the family.

“Generations come and work in Merichka’s,” Highbaugh said. “People come and go, but everyone is part of the Merichka’s family. They’re there if you’re going through a rough time.”

Delicious destination

Highbaugh said above all else, the food keeps customers coming, especially the poorboy sandwich.

The restaurant first served the poorboy in 1959, after Joe Zdralevich Sr. and his wife went to the Kentucky Derby and brought back the recipe.

The item includes two long slices of French bread seasoned with Merichka’s garlic

sandwiches.

The restaurant also takes careful measure to make sure its appetizers are top quality.

Another fan favorite, onion rings, are fried after the onions sit in water for a day.

“It’s hard work running a restaurant, keeping employees and customers happy,” Joe Zdralevich Sr. said. “My dad said if you have a good product, good price and good service, you’ll keep customers coming back.”

Soliman said the restaurant is a tremendous asset to Lathan Goumas – lgoumas@shawmedia.com the city.

Merichka’s has been operating in Crest Hill since 1933.

• SURVIVAL

Continued from page 3 “People will come in and say, ‘I’ve been away seven years. I hope it tastes the same,’ ” Reimer said. “I say, ‘I hope it tastes the same, too. We haven’t changed anything.’ ”

Joliet Route 66 Diner

Speaking of keeping things the same, the Joliet Route 66 Diner, 22 W. Clinton St., has the same tables and chairs it did when John Georgouses bought the place 20 years ago.

To his delight, Route 66 tourists discovered the diner and loved its retro atmosphere.

When people from places such as Germany and New Zealand kept stopping in, Georgouses added Route 66 to what he had called the Joliet Restaurant.

He said success depends on keeping regular customers happy – the people who work at City Hall, the county building and other downtown offices – and paying close attention to what goes on in the kitchen.

“It all happens in the kitchen,” he said. “You’ve got to know what you’re doing. If you depend on your employees to run your kitchen, that’s a big mistake.”

He does take two or three weeks of vacation.

Regular customers at Chicken-NSpice are familiar with its chicken chunks. Owner Pat Reimer said chunks make up about half the chicken the restaurant sells. But the item got on the menu by chance.

“We accidentally got from our purveyor a 40-pound load of skinned and boned breast meat,” Reimer said. “We decided since we had them and they were in our cooler, why not do something with them?”

At the time – about 15 years ago – Chicken-N-Spice did not sell anything like nuggets. So, they cut up the chicken into nuggets and put it out. The second customer who ordered them asked what they were, and Reimer replied, “Those are nuggets.”

The customer, according to ReLathan Goumas – lgoumas@shawmedia.com imer, replied, “‘Those are not nugPat Reimer takes an order during the Monday lunch rush at Chicken-N-Spice in Joliet. gets. Those are chunks of chicken.’

Georgouses took over a site that was a restaurant for decades. Long-time Jolietans may remember the place as the Peter Piper Restaurant.

But the first two years were tough, Georgouses said, and he seriously thought about getting out.

University administrators have misplaced priorities REEDER REPORT Scott Reeder SPRINGFIELD – Last week, Gov. Bruce Rauner proposed a budget that trimmed funding for state universities.

The reaction of university bigwigs?

Jack up tuition and protect the bureaucracy at all costs. And I mean at all costs.

Look no further than the comments Illinois State University President Larry Dietz made to WEEK TV news: “Budget cuts at that level would have an impact on many areas of university operations, and there are many issues on the table for discussion. Some areas that could be affected include tuition – as set by our Board of Trustees – scholarships, faculty and staff compensation, hiring decisions and maintenance projects. Throughout the process, I want to assure you that protecting the jobs of our outstanding faculty and staff is our highest priority. We will do everything we can to prevent measures such as layoffs and forced furlough days.”

So he’s already thinking about jacking up tuition and cutting scholarships?

And his top priority is to make sure nobody loses their job?

He’d much rather see teenagers pay more to go to college than tell professors – many of them turning six-digit salaries – to take a furlough day?

Sorry, folks, our state universities ought to be more than jobs programs for PhDs. Our university systems have become bloated. We have more university administrators than you can shake a slide rule at.

The cost of college is rising out of reach of working families.

Much of that is because university administrators have little incentive to contain costs, even when facing reduced funding from Springfield.

Part of it is the mindset of academia.

Often, the best-paid professors are rewarded with less time in the

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

classroom.

Last year, former state senator Steve Rauschenberger shared this with me: “By the time I was Senate Appropriations chairman, the [University of Illinois] administration was admitting that full professors were carrying a class schedule of under 12 hours. And that 12 includes things that are officially counted as classroom time but aren’t – like committee work. ... So that increases the cost to the university when you reduce the amount of teaching time by your highest-paid employees.”

Of course, professors have other duties, including research and office hours. But, still, young people are graduating with decades’ worth of student loan debt to pay the university’s ever-escalating tuition.

There are ways to contain costs without burdening our children with more debt or taxpayers with higher bills.

One of the biggest costs to universities is pensions.

In fact, nine of the 10 highest pensions paid within Illinois state government go to retired University of Illinois professors. Topping the list is a professor who worked at the university’s Chicago campus. He collects an annual pension of $452,843.

That pension alone would cover the tuition of 37 students for one year.

Greater student affordability can be achieved through university fiscal responsibility.

Already, 13 percent of Illinois university employees are opting for a 401(k)-type retirement plans rather than a traditional pensions. This option affords employees greater economic freedom to move from job to job without losing benefits.

More employees need to be encouraged to consider this option.

And the first reaction of university administrators when facing reduced state funding shouldn’t be to preserve the bureaucracy.

It must be to provide the best value to students and taxpayers.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR RAUNER CONVINCED CATERPILLAR TO REMAIN IN ILLINOIS To the Editor:

You can bet your paycheck that Gov. Bruce Rauner was talking to Caterpillar immediately upon his election. Most prognosticators, political and business pretty much conceded that Cat leaving Illinois was a fait accompli.

Why would Cat change its mind? Gov. Rauner!

Rauner, an accomplished businessman, did what no political hack in Illinois could do. He convinced Cat to stay put. Congratulations to Rauner and Cat CEO Douglas Oberhelman for a great decision for Illinois. All union and nonunion workers in Illinois owe these two good men our most sincere appreciation.

HELP FOR WOMEN WHO ARE FORCED INTO ABORTION To the editor:

I am very concerned over the overwhelming factual and anecdotal evidence that shows the majority of mothers who choose abortion actually

are forced or coerced by someone close to them. Many pregnant women are coerced by the father of the child, family members, friends and by society in general.

So if there is a mother who is reading this letter and feels she is being pressured or even threatened into an abortion, there is help available. You can contact any number of pregnancy resource centers that will keep your contact confidential. Here are just a few, and you can call 24 hours a day, seven days a week: • Women’s Choice Services, 2423 Glenwood Ave., Lower Level, Joliet, IL 60435. Contact Lisa at 630-261-9221.

CLASS 2A OAK FOREST DUAL-TEAM WRESTLING SECTIONAL: LEMONT 42, DE LA SALLE 24

Lemont earns first state trip since 2011

By CURT HERRON cherron@shawmedia.com OAK FOREST – At the start of the season, John St. Clair wasn’t sure about what to expect from his Lemont wrestling team.

But as things began to progress, the veteran coach started to like what he was seeing.

And on Tuesday, all involved were rewarded for their hard work with a trip to Saturday’s Class 2A dual meet team finals at U.S. Cellular Coliseum in Bloomington.

Lemont earned its first fourth state appearance in program history – as well as its first since 2011 – after defeating De La Salle Institute, 42-24, in the Oak Forest Sectional.

After winning trophies in 2010 and 2011 but then seeing perhaps his best squad, 2012, not even get the chance to compete at state, St. Clair appreciates being back in the final eight. Lemont meets Crystal Lake Central on Saturday in an 11 a.m. quarterfinal meet.

“These guys worked their tails off, and they deserve to go down to state, just like any other team that I’ve ever coached,” St. Clair said. “I’m really proud of these guys, and told them that this was a program win. It wasn’t just our regular guys coming out and winning. We even had a JV kid get a pin in his first varsity match, and that was awesome.

“This team has talent, but we just can’t fill out the lineup. We’re filling holes, but the kids that we put on the mat, they fight hard. After going to our two tournaments in the middle of the season, the Whitlatch and Berman, we took some lumps. But we rolled in our next meet. We came through the toughest part of our schedule and were ready to push.”

Lemont only led the Meteors, 10-9, after the first four matches but then broke things open by winning five of the next six – featuring three pins and a win by technical fall – to grab a decisive 36-12 advantage with only three weights remaining.

The Indians finished with

Gabe Berta (120 pounds) got things started, and Jake Kirkman (152), John Polk (170) and varsity newcomer Mike Lyeweski (182) recorded pins during the key run. Pat Flynn (220) chipped in with another fall in the last

contested match.

Also during the key stretch of the meet, Egan Berta (138) was a winner by technical fall, Jim Brennan (145) recorded a 4-1 decision, and Dimitri Giatras (160) forced overtime before dropping an 8-6 match in

a clash of state qualifiers.

“In my freshman year, we had a great team, and this year shows how hard our program works and how hard our coaches coach us,” Brennan said. “Coach St. Clair pushes us every day, and it’s proven on the mat by the end of the year. It was great to be a part of this program and be a leader this year and to see all of the improvement that’s been made.”

Lemont took a 10-3 lead following Gabe Berta’s pin and a major decision from Ryan Glynn (126) before De La Salle received a pin from state placewinner Robert Zebrauskas (132).

But Egan Berta responded with his tech fall, Brennan won a tight match, and Kirkman added a fall to give the Indians a 24-9 lead with six matches left.

“This was a big win for our team, and it’s real big for our

program,” Egan Berta said.

“We’re real young, so hopefully we have a lot of years like this to come. It’s nice to get back to state, and hopefully we can get another streak going.

We started off kind of slow, but then we started to pick it up in the room and started getting after it – and now we’re here.”

The Indians only had a handful of seniors competing Tuesday. While thrilled to be going to state, that group also is excited about the program’s future.

“This is unbelievable – it’s great,” Giatras said. “It’s something that not a lot of people get to do, and I’m really happy that we could be our fourth team to make it to state.

At the beginning of the year, we had a lot of young guys and didn’t know where we’re going with it. I haven’t seen more people grow as a team than we did. It’s very exciting, and I’m blessed.”

CLASS 1A PLANO DUAL-TEAM WRESTLING SECTIONAL: COAL CITY 40, PEOTONE 23

By ROB OESTERLE roesterle@shawmedia.com

• Wednesday, February 25, 2015

PLANO – Sometimes, the points you don’t allow the opposing team to score are as important as the points your own team scores.

Coal City’s wrestling team was proof of that Tuesday night in a 40-23 win over Peotone in the Class 1A Plano Sectional.

Coal City, which improved to 27-3 in dual meets this season, got its standard six-point wins from the likes of state champions Joey Rivera, Cody Minnick and Corey Jurzak.

It was the wrestlers without the individual pedigrees who made this a team victory for the Coalers.

“This was a great team win,” Coal City coach Mark Masters said. “Guys like Parker Czaja, Zach Montgomery, T.J. Jezik, Brandon Nevin. They didn’t get pinned and saved us those bonus points.

That adds up. Last time we wrestled Peotone, Zach Montgomery, our heavyweight, got pinned. Tonight, he won, 2-0.

That’s a nine-point difference.

“Matches like that were huge because we had some Photos by Rob Oesterle – roesterle@shawmedia.com wrestlers injured tonight.

BOYS BASKETBALL: PLAINFIELD EAST 85, PLAINFIELD CENTRAL 41

Plainfield East blitzes Plainfield Central

By DICK GOSS dgoss@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – Plainfield East is not exactly where it wants to be at this point in the season.

Or maybe it is.

The Bengals, coming off a heartbreaking 66-63 loss last Saturday night to Neuqua Valley, the No. 1 seed in the upcoming Class 4A Bolingbrook Sectional, got down to business Tuesday night in overwhelming Southwest Prairie foe Plainfield Central, 85-41, in their final regional tuneup.

“We played right with the No. 1 seed,” East coach Branden Adkins said. “At the begin-

ning of the year, we thought we could have been that seed.

But we had some unfortunate things happen.

“We lost in overtime to St Joe’s at Thanksgiving, and we lost on a buzzer beater to St. Charles East in the championship game at Pekin at Christmas. Aaron [Jordan, who has signed with Illinois] was hurt, and our guys started looking around wondering what they should do with him gone.

They’re realizing now that they’ve got to step up.”

Elyjah Goss, a 6-foot-7 junior forward, took the “step up” advice to heart Tuesday.

He scored 20 of his game-high 24 points in the first half, had

four dunks and grabbed 16 rebounds.

Jordan scored 16 points.

Sophomore guard Vinny Tarello had 14 off the bench, and Cole Kotopka chipped in 11. Scoring from sources other than Jordan will be key for the Bengals (15-11, 10-4), the No. 6 sectional seed, as they make their postseason bid.

“Our kids haven’t stopped battling, and we have defended well all year,” Adkins said. “If we keep doing that, I feel we can reap the rewards in the postseason.”

The Bengals are in the Lincoln-Way North Regional, along with Plainfield South and Plainfield North. South

BOYS BASKETBALL: LINCOLN-WAY EAST 58, JOLIET WEST 57

and North could meet in the semifinals, and the rivalry between East and North could be renewed in the regional final.

“We’re excited about maybe seeing North in the regional championship, but South is in there, too, and we have to take care of business on our side,” Adkins said.

East forced 13 turnovers in the first half and scored consistently after creating those mistakes. The Bengals led after one quarter, 21-6, and at halftime, 47-18. The Wildcats (7-19, 3-11) were outrebounded, 25-13, in the first half, when they forced only three East turnovers, and 49-31 in the game.

“They’re a real good team,” Central coach Steve Lamberti said of the Bengals. “If they keep their parts together, they’re going to be tough to beat in the postseason. You have to play a good game to stay in it against them, and we didn’t do it.

“It was a shame because with this being our senior night, the guys wanted to come out and do well for our school and our program.”

Robbie Brooks had eight points and Justin Windt seven for Central. Both teams used their benches liberally, especially in the second half.

East won the sophomore game, 47-36.

JOLIET – Down to the final week of the SouthWest Suburban Blue season, Joliet West and Lincoln-Way East went into their matchup Tuesday night looking to build a little momentum for the state tournament.

Both teams gained some confidence in coming from behind during the senior night contest at Joliet West, but it was Lincoln-Way East that put together a late fourth-quarter rally to claim a 5857 victory.

Jake Attar hit a 3-pointer from the corner for East (10-13, 4-9) after a West turnover to tie it 57-all with a minute to play. The senior guard hit one of two free throws to make it 58-57 with 4.9 seconds left. A 3-point attempt at the end didn’t fall for West (11-14, 4-9).

“That was unbelievable,” Attar said of the game-tying shot. “Jackson (Bax) stealing the ball on the inbounds when it looked like we were going to have to foul them. Quick dish, didn’t even hesitate.”

“Jake has hit some big shots,” East coach Rich Kolimas said. “He won the Sandburg game for us earlier in the year. He just hit a big 3 against Illiana Christian on Saturday.”

Trevian Bell hit several big shots to rally the Tigers, who overcame an 18-4 deficit after the first quarter. Bell,

a 6-foot-5 sophomore, scored 16 of his game-high 19 points in the second half.

His last basket gave West a 57-51 lead with 1:20 to play.

“We made a concerted effort to get it inside,” West coach Nick DiForti said of the Tigers’ second-half comeback.

“He’s developing as a basketball player.

I feel bad for our seniors not winning on senior night, but they left it all on the floor.”

Bax made two crucial free throws to cut West’s lead to 57-53. Attar made 1 of 2 from the line for a 57-54 margin before his game-tying shot. “The kid had a free throw at the end to seal the victory,” DiForti said. “We had a shot at the end.”

Mike Ruwoldt had 14 points for West and Jeff Washington 10 points and six rebounds. Bell finished with eight rebounds.

“They made adjustments on us and played us tougher,” Kolimas said of West’s rally in the second half.

Attar and Clint Nooner finished with 16 points for East. Nooner also pulled down eight rebounds. Bax had 11 points.

“We’ve played other games, we’re down 10 with a minute and a half, two minutes left,’’ Attar said. “We just keep battling. It’s a defensive effort.”

“We had trouble getting the ball in the hole for a little bit, but we knew we just had to play defense and get stops,” Nooner said.

By TIM O’BRIEN Shaw Media Correspondent JOLIET – Joliet Central’s Jerry Gillespie is like most basketball players.

He’d rather be starting.

But coming off the bench? The senior guard will play whatever role his team needs. And as Central coach Jeff Corcoran said, maybe that bench role fires his senior leader up a little.

With Gillespie and junior Taquan Sims playing huge roles off the bench in the fourth quarter Tuesday, Joliet Central clicked on all cylinders in the final quarter on the way to a 60-48 win over SouthWest Suburban Blue foe Stagg.

“It’s a little weird coming off the bench,” Gillespie said. “I’ve got to come in and get in the flow of the game. If I start, I’m just in the flow.

Off the bench, I’ve got to come in and help the team.”

Gillespie’s help came from all over the floor Tuesday, as the 5-foot6 guard finished with 13 points, four assists, three steals and three rebounds.

It was far from a one-man show, however, for the Steelmen (13-12, 6-7) with Sims (13 points), Kewon Ware (nine), Malik Fuller (nine points,

14 rebounds) and Kenyon Woolfork (nine points) contributing.

An offensive explosion in the fourth quarter came following three sluggish, offensively challenged quarters. There at the front leading the charge were Gillespie and Sims.

“Our team, we started playing good defense (in the fourth),” Sims said. “We got out on the break, and Jerry started setting up plays to get us in the right spots.”

Having trailed, 32-31, heading into the final quarter, the Steelmen found whatever offense they had been missing.

Working with a 47-46 lead with four-plus minutes remaining, Sims hit a corner 3-pointer – his second in the quarter – and the run was on.

Sims added a free throw and a floater on a hard drive as part of a 13-2 run to end the game.

Gillespie drilled two 3-pointers of his own early in the quarter.

“Me and Jerry, we’re a good onetwo tandem off the bench,” Sims said. “We have to come in and get us going.”

How smooth was the Joliet Central offense in the fourth quarter?

The Steelmen were perfect, shooting 11 of 11 from the floor, including 4 of 4 from 3-point range, in outscoring Stagg, 29-16.

LOCKPORT – It was senior night and Lockport’s last home game of the regular season against Bolingbrook. But it turned out to be much more than that Tuesday night.

It also was the last time Porters longtime coach Lawrence Thompson Jr. would coach a game on the Lockport home floor.

Thompson was told late last week that he will not be retained as the mentor of the Porters.

At the end of the senior night festivities, Thompson read a brief statement thanking his wife, family, fellow teachers, coaches and, most of all, his players, past and present.

“Yesterday, coach told us he wouldn’t be the coach after this season,” senior Gehrig Hollatz said.

“We wanted to go out there and get a ‘W’ for coach.”

Bolingbrook, the No. 2 seed in the upcoming Class 4A Bolingbrook Sectional, used an 8-1 run early in the fourth quarter to pull out a 42-36 SouthWest Suburban Blue victory.

The first half saw more 3-pointers made by the two teams combined than 2-point field goals, and Lockport owned a 16-15 lead.

Neither team shot well, with the Raiders shooting 3 of 17 with two 3-pointers and going 7 of 11 from the free-throw line. The Porters were 6 of 21 with three 3-pointers.

In the third quarter, the shooting warmed up and the scoring went up, with Bolingbrook taking a 30-29 lead going to the final quarter.

Two conventional three-point plays, one by Prentiss Nixon (14 points) and the other by Brodric Thomas (12 points), gave the Raiders a 38-31 lead with 4:34 remaining.

Lockport cut the lead to 39-36 on a 3-pointer by Jonathan Hager (14) and a basket by Deiondre Taylor.

“We played well, but we had some mistakes down the stretch that cost us,” Porters guard Ralph Blakney said.

Bolingbrook went 2 of 9 down the stretch from the free-throw line, but the Porters could not take advantage of the misses as they missed the front end of three consecutive of oneand-ones.

“I missed my first couple of shots, and Jonathan (Hager) was hitting the 3s, so I just focused on rebounding. It’s been a tough few days,” Lockport’s Anthony Grybauskas said.

Thompson said after the game, “I really appreciate my time here.”

TAYLORVILLE – Lockport’s wrestling team earned its second state trip, and its first since 2012, after defeating Edwardsville, 42-26, on Tuesday in the Taylorville Sectional.

Sam Fuentes (126 pounds) got things started for coach Josh Oster’s Porters when he beat a state qualifier for his team’s first win. Cameron Roat (132), Shayne Oster (138) and George Wolfe (145) followed with pins and Trevell Timmons (152) won a major decision.

Tyler Johnson (195) and Dalton Dwyer (106) later added falls before Abdullah Assaf (113) ended things with a win by technical fall for the Porters, who meet Deerfield in an 11 a.m. Saturday quarterfinal at U.S. Cellular Coliseum in Bloomington.

“It was nice for some of our seniors who fell a little short of going to state that they get a different chance at a medal now,” Josh Oster said. “Also, some of our guys who won medals feel like they got their stuff, and now they want to get this done for those seniors.”

They came back from deficits of 10 points or more six times this season, beating Massachusetts, Georgia Tech twice, North Carolina State and Duke, but could never catch the Orange.

The Orange missed their last three shots of the first half and the first five of the second half as Notre Dame used a 9-0 run to cut the lead to 27-26 on a rebound basket

by Zach Auguste. He had a chance to tie it when he was fouled, but missed the free throw.

The Orange then quickly extended the lead to five points again on a steal and dunk by Michael Gbinije and a layup by Rakeem Christmas.

The Orange later extended the lead to 44-35 on a dunk

by Ron Patterson, a layup by Christmas and then a pair of free throws by Christmas, who was playing with four fouls.

Jerian Grant finally ended the Syracuse run when he hit his first field goal with a jumper inside with 8:47 left in the game to narrow the lead to 44-37.

Every time the Irish gained any momentum, the Orange had an answer. Auguste brought the crowd to its feet with a powerful dunk on a rebound of a missed 3 by Grant, but Cooney answered with a jumper.

When Colson scored on a pair of free throws when Christmas fouled out with 5:18 remaining and followed that with a basket inside, Cooney hit a long jumper to make it 51-45.

After Auguste and Grant scored to cut the lead to 51-49, but Cooney hit a long 3 and then drove the lane to put the Orange ahead 56-49.

Mix& match your mac Add-ins take classic dish to a new level

Do you love macaroni and cheese? Stupid question, right? OK, so let’s try this one: How could you love macaroni and cheese even more?

Now we’re talking. Because there are all sorts of simple ways to doctor an already awesome pan of basic mac and cheese to take our love of this dish to a whole new level. But let’s start with the basics – our classic take on macaroni and cheese. Since everyone is pressed for time, we kept it simple with a stovetop version that will have you ready to eat in about 20 minutes.

But we didn’t sacrifice flavor to get that speed. Four cups of cheese – a blend of cheddar and Gruyere – keep this dish rich and gooey. Want to push it even further? Add some grated Parmesan cheese and maybe even aged gouda. Now you’ve got yourself a four-cheese mac and cheese.

You could enjoy it as is, but we’ll also walk you through three ways to up the ante. Want to keep it simple? How about a crunchy-salty topping of crushed potato chips? Or maybe you’re looking for a little spice in your life.

Our Midwestern take combines jalapenos and smoked paprika for kick. And no one would think less of you for combining both those ideas – perhaps a Midwestern mac and cheese topped with barbecue chips. Or if you’re trying to be virtuous, our green goddess version adds asparagus and a whole mess of fresh herbs. You can pretend all that greenery cancels out all the cheese.

Classic Macaroni and Cheese

Start to finish: 30 minutes Servings: 8 3 tablespoons unsalted butter ¼ cup all-purpose flour 3 cups milk 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard 2 cups shredded extra-sharp cheddar cheese 2 cups shredded Gruyere or comte cheese Kosher salt and ground black pepper 1 pound small pasta, such as shells or elbows, cooked according to package directions In a large sauté pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for 2 minutes. Whisking continuously, pour in the milk. Cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens and comes to a simmer, about 2 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat. Stir in the mustard and both cheeses, ½ cup at a time, stirring to melt. Season with salt and pepper.

Stir in the pasta. Serve immediately or follow one of the variations below.

Potato Chip Baked

1

Spoon the macaroni and cheese into individual gratin dishes or a large casserole dish. Crush a bag of potato chips, then sprinkle them over the mac and cheese. Bake at 350 degrees F. for 20 minutes, or until golden and bubbly. For added punch, use flavored potato chips, such as salt and vinegar, ranch or barbecue.

2 3

Midwestern

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, saute 1 diced yellow onion, 1 diced red bell pepper and 1 cup chopped ham in 1 tablespoon vegetable oil until the onion is translucent. Add 2 teaspoons smoked paprika and 2 tablespoons chopped jarred jalapenos. Stir into the macaroni and cheese, then serve.

Green Goddess

Cut 1 bunch of asparagus into 1-inch pieces.

Cook in a skillet over medium-high in 1 tablespoon butter until just tender. Add to the macaroni and cheese along with ¼ cup each chopped fresh chives, tarragon and basil, the zest of 1 lemon, and an additional tablespoon of Dijon mustard. Mix well, then serve.

PUZZLES SUDOKU

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

How do you handle the trump suit?

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Rex Stout, the creator of Nero Wolfe, said, “To read of a detective’s daring finesse or ingenious stratagem is a rare joy.”

A bridge player should not be taking daring finesses. However, to watch an expert’s ingenious stratagem is a rare joy.

Before we get to the play of today’s deal, though, what should South bid after West opens one diamond, North makes a takeout double, and East passes?

Next, plan South’s stratagem in four spades after West cashes his two top diamonds and shifts to a heart.

In the auction, if South bids one spade, it shows 0-8 points; if he jumps to two spades, it indicates 9-11 points.

With more than that, he starts with a two-diamond cue-bid. The auction continues two hearts – two spades – four spades – pass.

South can afford one trump loser, but not two. Strangely, the best play is the same even if East and West have passed throughout. Here, West is marked with the spade king from his opening bid. So first playing low to the queen cannot be right. The second-best play is low to the 10, planning, if it loses to the jack, to cash the ace next. But even better is immediately to cash the ace. When the king comes down, South can gain an overtrick by finessing East out of his spade jack.

In isolation against passing opponents, if the ace dropped the jack, South would continue with the queen to drive out the king. Or, if the ace collected only the four and nine, declarer would cross to the dummy with a club and lead a spade toward his queen-10.

He would have no guesswork. **

ANSWER TO PREVIOUS PUZZLE D R I V E L

You’ll also want to focus on balance to keep your knees healthy. Maintaining balance requires your knees to work with your hips and ankles.

This coordination takes practice. Simple exercises, such as standing with one foot right in front of the other, as if you were standing on a tightrope, can help.

Weight loss is the important final piece.

The force of each pound you carry is magnified by the time it reaches your knees. If you’re walking across a flat surface, for example, the force on your knees is equal to 1 1/2 times your body weight. Going uphill, it is two to three times your body weight.

Shedding extra weight reduces this force and can help prevent arthritis and injury. It can also reduce existing knee pain. To lose weight, try aerobic activity that doesn’t overload the knee. Swimming or walking in a pool, or riding a stationary bike are good options.

You’re right to ask about nonsurgical options for knee pain – and you’re asking at the right time: as your knees are starting to hurt, but probably before they have been badly damaged.

By taking action now to protect your knees, you can postpone, or even avoid altogether, the need for knee replacement surgery someday. Surgery can be a godsend, but if you can protect your knees before they reach this stage – and you can – that’s even better.

my 60s. My knees have started to hurt, especially when I’m climbing stairs.

Can you recommend any nonsurgical ways to relieve this pain?

Dear Reader: Knee pain is one of the most common reasons for doctor visits. As you get older, knee pain can limit your mobility and take away your independence. The keys to keeping your knees healthy? Strengthening muscles around the knees, improving balance and losing weight.

Let’s start with muscle strengthening. Your knee joints bear your weight when you are standing, and that creates a lot of stress on them. That stress is reduced by different muscle groups above the knee that help extend and bend your knee. They also help hold your body weight on a bent knee. Therefore, weakness of these muscles can cause higher levels of stress in the knee joint.

I spoke to my colleague, Michael Orpin, a doctor of physical therapy at Harvard-affiliated Massachusetts General Hospital. He recommends exercises that work many muscle groups at once.

One such exercise is the sit-to-stand, in which you move from a sitting to a standing position repeatedly. (I’ve put an illustration showing how to do a sit-to-stand on my website, AskDoctorK. com.)

Below the knee, the muscles in your calf are important for knee control. They also help propel the body during walking, stair climbing and running. Weakness in these muscles also adds stress to the knee joint.

Heel raises can help to strengthen the calf muscles. To do a heel raise, hold on to a counter for balance. Slowly rise up on tiptoes, then lower heels to the floor. Try three sets of 15 repetitions.

HOROSCOPE TODAY – Exercise caution when it comes to investments. It’s vital that you be vigilant if asked to assist others with estate matters, donations or investments.

Don’t take on a task you aren’t capable of doing, even if the person asking for help is insistent.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Find a quiet corner and get your work done without entering into a stressful dispute. Your attention to detail will ensure that you complete your tasks successfully.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Your honest, open manner and true concern for others make you a trusted confidante.

Do something special for someone who has been there for you in good times and bad.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Consider the motives of someone who wants you to loan out or invest your hard- earned cash. A foolhardy joint financial venture will cause serious setbacks if you go into debt.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – You’ll have

to work hard to get things going.

Dwelling on emotional issues will lead to depression. Take a mental health day, go out for a walk or do something you enjoy.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Don’t get drawn into the rumor mill, and avoid repeating negative or uncomplimentary comments. Gossip will not help you make gains, but it will put you in an awkward position.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Step into the limelight with confidence. Your suggestions will have a powerful impact on those around you, and you will be able to gain valuable support for your plans.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Deception is apparent. Someone will try to undermine your credibility. Be prepared to fight for what is rightfully yours. Work alone for now. The less said, the better.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – You are thirsty for knowledge. Attend informal events or seminars that will give you insight into different cultures and

philosophies. The people you meet will figure prominently in your future.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – You will be asked to help with someone’s financial or legal matters. You will gain confidence and contentment knowing that you are doing something nice for someone.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Partnerships look promising. Show what you can bring to the table and find out how far you can go, based on the sum total of your and your counterpart’s contributions.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – The more you do to help those in need, the more recognition and satisfaction you will receive. You have what it takes to get the work done in a timely manner.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Get out and have a good time with a friend or lover. Lively activities will provide a welcome diversion from everyday pressures and tension. Romance is in the stars.

Real Life Adventures

Dear Abby: I’m in my 40s and my boyfriend of three years is 12 years older. We are in love and our relationship is great. He travels for work and lives in another state, so he flies in to see my daughter and me every other week. Because he is older, he uses Viagra, and it’s kept at my place in a drawer. I assumed that’s where it was always kept.

Abby, when he left for his trip yesterday, he took his Viagra with him! He says he grabbed the bottle without thinking and that I’m overreacting. The rest of his things are kept in his travel bag, so it’s not like he just gathered up all of his pills. They were the only ones. Now he’s upset with me because “I don’t trust him.”

I caught him lying about something when we first started dating, so he’s not all squeaky clean like he acts. – Suspicious In Virginia Dear Suspicious: Unless your boyfriend was prescribed the Viagra for a condition other than ED, I’d say you have a right to be suspicious. Because his little blue pills were kept apart from his other medications, it took special effort for him to pack them.

Talk with him further because he may have been contemplating a “party of one” during his travels.

Dear Abby: I’m in the middle of a situation that I’m not sure how to deal with. My mother’s husband made a pass at my boyfriend. My boyfriend thinks I should tell her.

Abby, my mother and

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips her husband are in their 70s, and I don’t want to cause problems in their marriage. I’d like to write it off as a “misunderstanding,” but my stepdad has a history of doing things like this. – Anonymous In Oregon Dear Anonymous: If your boyfriend didn’t already, he should tell your stepfather the pass was unwelcome and he doesn’t want it to happen again. If it does, you and your boyfriend should talk to your mother about it and explain why she’ll be seeing less of you unless she visits you – alone.

Dear Abby: My husband’s family gave us a large painting that is not our taste at all. We would love to get rid of it, but of course we feel obligated to keep it and hang it in.

They live nearby and visit often, and we live in a small apartment and there is nowhere “discreet” to hang it.

Are there any options that would keep everyone happy? – Grinning & Bearing It Dear Grinning: Another option would be to level with your in-laws. Tell them you are grateful for their generosity, but the artwork is not your taste, and then ask if they would mind if you exchanged it.
