Rialto repair costs piling up

LOCAL BRIEF

Terra cotta problems worsen

JOLIET – Illinois State Police said no injuries were reported Wednesday evening in an accident involving a semitrailer and a vehicle on an Interstate 80 entrance ramp. The accident occurred about 4:50 p.m. Wednesday when a passenger vehicle slipped on ice and the driver lost control, State Trooper Deann Falat said. The accident took place on a ramp leading from northbound Interstate 55 to eastbound Interstate 80, state police said. There were reports of another semi being involved, Falat said, but it was unclear whether the truck was involved in the accident or if the driver had pulled off to the side to help. – The Herald-News

By BOB OKON bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Rialto Square Theatre management has more problems to deal with. The Rialto board, which in recent months has been embroiled in a marquee controversy, heard Wednesday it is facing about $400,000 worth of additional work to keep terra cotta from falling off the side of the historic Joliet building. And, the price of the job could double if it is put off. The board learned the news at the same meeting where it voted to give back Ed Czerkies his $350,000 marquee donation. The board also made another $53,000 payment for work already done on the marquee – bringing total payments so far to about $171,000 – before production was stopped after opponents objected to the design that Czerkies was paying for. The board put off a decision on whether to move ahead with $200,000 in needed chimney repairs because it doesn’t have the money.

“We have none available,” Rialto General Manager Randy Green when one board member asked if the theater had contingency funds for the $400,000 worth of terra cotta work. “If there is an opportunity to do option one, we will see if there is money available.” Option one would cost about $26,000 and keep terra cotta in place with netting and plastic wrap for as long as a couple of years while the Rialto looks for the money to get the job done. Board Chairman James Smith asked about the aesthetics of Option One while noting he did not like term “chicken wire,” which was how Building Manager Mike Biedron described the netting that would be used to keep the terra cotta intact. “Really,” Biedron replied. “It will look like [expletive]. It will look like [expletive].” The Rialto exterior already is surrounded with netting, plastic wrap and scaffolding as work crews complete a $2.2 million terra cotta repair and replacement project.

Not all terra cotta is being replaced, however, because the Rialto did not have enough money for the entire project. Now, it’s been discovered that more terra cotta is damaged than was originally known, Biedron said. Pieces of terra cotta are splitting “in half from the inside out,” he said. Bulley Andrews Masonry Construction, the contractor doing the work now, could replace the additional terra cotta for $400,000 if it keeps on working, Biedron said. But the cost of the work would double if a crew would have to come to the site again because of the costs associated with setting up the scaffolding and other equipment needed for the project, he said. The board tabled decisions on the additional terra cotta repairs and chimney work. The chimney needs a metal flue to replace the existing one, which has begun to rot away. Biedron said the chimney should be good through this winter. “At this point, right now, I would say it’s not an absolute, urgent priority,” he said. “But it needs to be done.”

Romeoville mayor sorry to see firm leave for Hammond By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com ROMEOVILLE – Mayor John Noak said Wednesday he was sorry to hear American Stair Corp. was relocating operations to Hammond, but noted Indiana provided the company a lucrative offer. “We’ve known it is moving since last year,” Noak said. “They didn’t contact us directly to talk about the possibility to stay in Illinois. But we were aware they were planning to go to Indiana.” The Indiana Economic Development Corp. said Wednesday the manufacturer of steel stairs and railings will invest $2.9 million to buy, renovate and equip a 60,000-square-

foot plant in Hammond while adding an additional 12,000 square feet in production space. The IEDC offered American Stair up to $1.7 million in conditional tax credits. It said the Northwest Indiana Regional Development Authority offered a no-interest, forgivable loan and the city of Hammond approved additional incentives. “That is a very incentive-heavy offer for a company that size,” Noak said. “We wish them the best of luck.” Calls Wednesday afternoon to American Stair for comment on the move were not immediately returned. American Stair employs more than 140 full-time work-

ers in Romeoville. The IEDC said the company has begun hiring detailers, estimators, welders, grinders and layout specialists for the Hammond operation. Noak said the village has received many inquiries from businesses wishing to relocate or expand into an industrial space the size of American Stair. “We’re guardedly optimistic for that site to be acquired,” Noak said. “They may lease it or sell it. It depends on their time frame. But I’m sure there will be a market for the space in a reasonable amount of time.”

BREATHING LESSONS Invisible Fence donates pet oxygen masks to New Lenox Fire Department By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com NEW LENOX – New Lenox Fire Chief Steve Engledow and fellow firemen have rescued “quite a few” pets from burning homes during the span of Engledow’s nearly 30-year career. But firefighters have often improvised when a pet suffers from smoke inhalation, he said, relying on oxygen masks designed for humans – ones that don’t do a very good job on animals. “There were a lot of times when the pet was doing OK, but we’d give them some oxygen outside just to be safe. Other times, they weren’t OK. But you always try,” said Engledow, who previously worked for the Joliet Fire Department for 28 years. “Firemen love animals. We’ll do anything to save them.” Starting Wednesday, New Lenox firemen will be better prepared, thanks to Invisible Fence Brand’s donation of

seven pet oxygen mask kits. Wednesday’s donation was part of Invisible Fence’s national effort “Project Breathe” – established in 2010 with the goal of equipping every fire station in the U.S. and Canada with specially designed pet oxygen masks. Invisible Fence has donated more than 11,500 masks to fire departments and first responders since the program’s inception, said Christina Landwehr, community outreach manager. With the help of Benny, a Welsh terrier, Landwehr briefly demonstrated Wednesday to about two dozen firefighters how to use the mask on her canine friend. Each kit contains tubing, along with a small, medium and large mask in a red bag. The masks are designed to provide an airtight seal by fitting snug over a snout. Instructions are included so firefighters can quickly locate the masks during an emergency, she said. “We’ve seen these used on

cats, dogs, gerbils, snakes,” Landwehr said. “There was a fire department out in Seattle that used it on a hamster. All different kinds of pets [can use this].” Frank Hoogeweg, with the Cedar Way Veterinary Clinic in New Lenox, also offered firefighters some advice. The proper amount of oxygen needs to be given to an animal, he said. In the end, though, firefighters should be confident about giving pets the potentially life-saving mask. “Really when you get down to it, [animals and humans] are the same physiologically,” Hoogeweg said. “They’re really similar to humans.” New Lenox Fire Protection District spokeswoman Marisa Schrieber said the goal is to

have each of the department’s four stations equipped with two pet mask kits. An estimated 40,000 to 150,000 pets die annually in house fires nationwide, most of the time because of smoke inhalation, according to Invisible Fence. Landwehr said she estimates that more than 120 animals have been saved through Project Breathe, but that num-

ber could be much greater considering she relies on fire departments to provide data. Even Red, the fire department’s search-and-rescue bloodhound, participated in Wednesday’s demonstration. Red’s handler, Ryan Mallory, said he’s never personally used an oxygen mask on a dog or cat before, but said it’s nice to know the department is better equipped.

HOMER GLEN

Write-ins earn ballot spot in election By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com HOMER GLEN – Village Trustee George Yukich will appear on the April 7 ballot alongside his mayoral opponent – incumbent James Daley Jr. – after garnering more than enough votes as a writein candidate in Tuesday’s out-of-the-ordinary primary battle. Preliminary totals Wednesday showed Yukich received 1,713 write-in votes, while Daley – whose name appeared on the ballot – received 1,107. Daley seeks a third term. To get on the ballot, writein primary candidates must get at least 10 percent of the votes cast for the candidate whose name appeared on the primary ballot for the same office, according to state election law. Write-in candidates also won spots on the April ballot in races for three trustee seats and for village clerk. For village clerk, write-in Ann Holtz received 1,239 votes, while her opponent Gale Skrobuton – who appeared on the ballot – received 1,271 votes.

Election results 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. There were a total of 28 candidates, including 23 write-ins. Mayor • James P. Daley Jr. – 1,107 • George Yukich 1,713 (write-in) Village clerk • Gale Skrobuton – 1,271 • Ann Holtz — 1,239 (write-in) Village trustee • Marcia DeVivo – 1,189 For trustee races, Marcia DeVivo had 1,189 votes, Kevin Hoffmeister had 1,151 and Jay Bradarich Sr. had 1,103. The top three write-ins for trustee – Carlo Caprio, Christina Neitzke-Troike and Beth Rodgers – received 1,045, 974 and 1,447 votes, respectively. In all, there were 23 writein candidates, the results of a rare contest forced after two candidates – Yukich and village trustee candidate Rodgers – were thrown off the April 7 ballot over a question concerning their candidate

• Kevin Hoffmeister – 1,151 • Jay M. Bradarich Sr. – 1,103 • Carlo Caprio — 1,045 (writein) • Christina Neitzke-Troike — 974 (write-in) • Beth Rodgers — 1,447 (writein) 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 paperwork. Yukich said Wednesday the nearly two dozen people mounted efforts to run as write-ins to force the primary and help Yukich and Rodgers get back on the ballot. State election law requires a primary election if more than four times the number of candidates on the ballot petitions to run as write-ins. “What happened was, we made a couple of phone calls, but then we had all these people calling us saying, ‘Hey, I’ll run. I’ll run. I’ll run,’ ” Yu-

Jay Bradarich were also listed on the ballot. • Trustee George Yukich, Broque Backal, Mike Costa, Peter Kula and Jeffery Rogers filed as writeins 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. kich said. “All these residents came out on such a frigid, cold day for a primary. And for that, I couldn’t thank them enough.” The top two candidates for mayor and village clerk and top six candidates for village trustee from the primary will appear on the April 7 ballot. Of the 16,142 registered voters in Homer Glen, 2,892 cast ballots in Tuesday’s primary, according to the Will County Clerk’s website, a nearly 18 percent voter turnout.

“What happened was, we made a couple of phone calls, but then we had all these people calling us saying, ‘Hey, I’ll run. I’ll run. I’ll run. All these residents came out on such a frigid, cold day for a primary. And for that, I couldn’t thank them enough.” George Yukich Homer Glen village trustee

Election results weren’t available until later Wednesday due to the unusually large number of write-in candidates, said Will County Clerk Nancy Schultz Voots. Election judges had to tally and verify each write-in candidates’ names. Results are preliminary until the county clerk canvases the results March 10, once provisional ballots are counted.

Peterson’s former attorney: murder-for-hire scheme a setup By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Drew Peterson’s former defense attorney made public Wednesday letters he says are from a prison inmate that allege Peterson is being set up on new murder-for-hire charges filed against him earlier this month. Joel Brodsky, a Chicago attorney, sent to the Randolph County Public Defender’s Office – and posted on his Facebook page – letters he said are from an Illinois Department of Corrections inmate and detail an alleged plot to set up

Peterson with a murder-forhire indictment. In the letters, the inmate claims he spoke with another inmate who approached Peterson and said he knew people who could “take care” of Will County State’s Attorney James Glasgow, whose office successfully prosecuted Peterson in the death of his third wife. However, the letters allege the second inmate planned to contact the Will County State’s Attorney’s Office to entrap Peterson with a murder-for-hire indictment. The letter writer said he

tried to contact Peterson’s attorney Steve Greenberg several times about the alleged plot. Brodsky said Randolph County Public Defenders hadn’t contacted him Wednesday afternoon and he doesn’t expect them to reach him. “The letters are fairly self-explanatory,” he said. The Will County State’s Attorney’s Office deferred calls concerning the letters to the Illinois Attorney General’s Office. Randolph County Public Defender James Kelley was unavailable for comment Wednesday. When asked about the let-

ters, Illinois Attorney General’s Office spokeswoman Maura Possley said “we’re going to present our case in court.” Peterson, 61, was convicted for the murder of his third wife, Kathleen Savio, in September 2012, and also is a suspect in the disappearance of his fourth wife, Stacy Peterson, who has been missing since October 2007. On Feb. 9, the Illinois Attorney General’s office and the local state’s attorney’s office filed in Randolph County murder-for-hire charges against Peterson in what

they allege was a plot to kill Glasgow. Peterson is serving his 38-year murder sentence at Menard Correction Center in Randolph County. Brodsky wrote on his Facebook page Wednesday that the letter writer was “ready to turn over to Mr. Peterson’s team of public defenders” the entire plot written in a series of jailhouse notes “as soon as they ask.” Brodsky said he received two letters on Jan. 15 and Feb. 16 from the inmate, whom Brodsky said on his Facebook page he doesn’t represent.

Jurors set to decide murder case Thursday Suspect and victim cellphones linked by records By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The case of a man accused of murder following a shooting in the garage of a house in unincorporated Crest Hill three years ago is set to go to the jury Thursday. Prosecutors and defense attorneys finished presenting evidence Wednesday in the trial of Erik Hernandez, 32. On March 19, 2012, Juan A. Gonzalez, 39, and Ricardo Martinez were shot at Gonzalez’s house in the 2500 block of Hacker Drive. Prosecutors have alleged Hernandez shot and wounded Martinez while another gunman, whom Martinez couldn’t see clearly, killed Gonzalez. Martinez testified earlier this week that he identified Hernandez from police lineups. Defense lawyers have said Gonzalez was killed as part of a drug deal gone bad and Hernandez was never there. Martinez said Gonzalez told him the night of the shooting that a Plainfield man would come over for what Martinez believed would be a drug deal. The Plainfield man has not been charged in connection with the case, but detectives searched his house and seized his cellphone hours after the shooting. Will County Sheriff’s Deputy James Zdzinicki ran computer forensics on that

cellphone Tuesday morning. Zdzinicki testified he’d been asked to run the analysis after the trial started because Josh Fazio, the deputy who examined it three years ago, is no longer with the department. The Plainfield man’s phone made or received 10 calls from Juan Gonzalez’s phone number that day and had 13 calls with someone using Erik Hernandez’s phone, Zdzinicki testified. Some of those calls weren’t picked up. Records show the phone used by the man Gonzalez Erik expected at the Hernandez house called Gonzalez’s phone at 9:17 p.m. for a conversation that lasted 1 minute and 11 seconds. At 9:18 p.m., the Plainfield man’s phone made a call lasting two seconds and a call lasting 2 minutes and 34 seconds to Hernandez’s phone. Records from 911 indicate the shooting was reported at 9:25 p.m. The Plainfield man’s phone received a call from Hernandez’s phone at 9:32 p.m. that lasted for 1 minute and 47 seconds, Zdzinicki testified. Also Wednesday, Juan Gonzalez Sr. testified he did not recall a phone conversation with Ricardo Martinez a few weeks after the shooting where Martinez is alleged to

have told him: “We are out $28,000 for the kilo that was taken.” “[And] Ricardo asked if you could sell some cocaine to help make up for the loss [and] you’d even make some money?” asked Chuck Bretz, Hernandez’s defense attorney. “I recall talking to Ricardo. I don’t remember what was said,” Gonzalez Sr. answered. Gonzalez Sr. also said he could not remember repeating those statements to Assistant Will County State’s Attorneys last month, although prosecutors stipulated he had done so. Detective David Dobrowski said a neighbor who lives around the corner from Hacker Drive described two men who cut through her backyard around the time of the shooting as white men in their late teens. She did not identify Hernandez when she was shown mugshots of potential suspects. Nathan Prasun, one of the first Will County Sheriff’s deputies called to the scene, was called as a witness for a second time to testify Wednesday about his interview with Martinez in the ambulance the night of the shooting. Prasun said Martinez told him the assailants were two Hispanic men with bald heads who wanted money. Martinez said one of the intruders was tall and the other was short and stocky, Prasun testified.

Phone scams

Plainfield Trustee Margie Bonuchi said she was concerned with recent phone scams targeting elderly residents and wants more awareness about the scams. “They’re preying on older citizens,” she said at a village Committee of the Whole meeting Monday. “They are scammed out of thousands of dollars.”

Two specific scams she highlighted were a phony IRS scheme that asks for personal information. Another involves impersonating a grandchild who is in trouble. “We can put some info on the website, but that’s not enough for older individuals who don’t use it,” she said. Plainfield Police Commander Anthony Novak said the police department has put out several news releases. Bonuchi said another option is to add a note with water bills warning of the scams.

Minooka sees decrease in most reported crime By KRIS STADALSKY Shaw Media correspondent MINOOKA – Minooka police saw a reduction in all but one category of criminal offenses reported into the Uniform Crime Reporting program, Police Chief Justin Meyer said. Meyer gave the department’s 2014 annual police report to village trustees Tuesday night. The only criminal offense that increased was motor vehicle theft, which occurred once in 2014, once more than the previous year. Robberies, burglaries, aggravated assault/battery, arson and forcible rape all saw reductions. Homicides have remained at zero during the four most recent years on the report. The department did not reach its goal of reducing motor vehicle crashes last year. “But we noticed that most crashes were caused by [the use of] electronic communication devices,” Meyer said. “The use of electronic devices while driving is the No. 1 contributor factor of traffic crashes.” The most crashes occurred at Ridge Road and Mondamin Street, with the second most occurring at Ridge and McEvilly roads. Ridge Road between Mondamin Street and McEvilly Road constituted 39 percent of vehicle crashes in Minooka. Community involvement is high on the department’s list

of initiatives, Meyer said. “We believe through our interactive partnership with the community we can work together to find solutions to problems through collaborative problem solving and improved trust,” he said. With community assistance, Minooka police raised $18,700 for Special Olympics in 2014. The department was recognized by the Law Enforcement Torch Run of Special Olympics with a Gold Award for its fundraising efforts. Minooka is No. 1 in the state of Illinois for departments with between one and 25 sworn officers. New this year was the addition of canine officer Rueger, and the medication take back program with Grundy County Coroner John Callahan. Through that program, Minooka residents can drop off unwanted medications for safe disposal. “This is an important part of our drug prevention program,” Meyer said. “Pills are more of a gateway [to other drugs] than marijuana.” The report is available at www.minooka.com.

Village drafting response to Rauner’s budget plans

Minooka officials hopes other municipalities will join them in responding to Gov. Bruce Rauner’s proposal to cut local revenue. Village Administrator Dan Duffy said staff is working on a response to Rauner’s Feb. 18 address to the General Assem-

bly, where he proposed cutting in half local communities’ shares of the Local Government Distributive Fund. The proposal would mean a loss of $530,000 to Minooka, Duffy said. Trustee Terry Houchens said Rauner’s proposal is a ploy to maintain his campaign promises, but local municipalities will have to make up the shortfall. “This is money that is duly ours,” he said. Later, Duffy added: “We are concerned the state is trying to balance their budget on the back of local municipalities.”

Organizations get Tag Day approval

Two organizations received approval for soliciting funds on the corner of Ridge Road and Mondamin Street, in a 4-1 vote. Trustee Terry Houchens voted against the resolution; Trustee Rudy Martin was absent. Misericordia Heart of Mercy Center will collect money April 25 and Will-Grundy Counties Building & Construction Trades Council of the AFL-CIO will collect for Dad’s Day on June 20. Houchens voiced his annual disapproval of collecting money out in traffic. “I have nothing against these organizations. It’s an unsafe situation,” Houchens said. “Especially after hearing the current police report that this intersection has the most [vehicle] crashes in town.”

Budget shaping up for next fiscal year By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Joliet Junior College Board members learned Tuesday of a statewide effort to bring bachelor degree programs to community colleges. The Illinois Council of Community College Presidents approved a recommendation to allow Illinois community colleges to grant bachelor’s degrees in nursing and applied career areas, according to the Illinois Com-

munity College Trustees Association. JJC Board Vice Chairman Jeff May, the board’s state legislative liaison, shared the news with trustees at Tuesday’s workshop meeting, said Kelly Rohder, the college’s spokeswoman. She said May polled other trustees to see if they supported the initiative. Board President Andrew Mihelich said the board was unanimously supportive. “This would be a first step in the process where the

[ICCTA] would lobby for the creation of the bachelor degree for those areas,” he said. He said many local institutions, such as hospitals and health care businesses, are no longer accepting registered nurses with only an associates degree. According to an ICCTA news release, a study of community college presidents conducted by the council showed community colleges can give students the opportunity to earn bachelor’s de-

grees close to home. The study recommends community colleges be authorized to grant four-year degrees, which would include Illinois in a list of 21 other states already offering such programs, according to the ICCTA. The study indicated many employers statewide need a workforce with a higher level of education. Mihelich said nine out of 10 community college graduates stay within the state and this is not an initiative where taxpayers would have to worry about colleges training graduates for jobs outside of Illinois.

Fiscal year 2016 budget

Mihelich said trustees also discussed the proposed 2016 budget, which starts July 1 and ends June 30, 2016. He said it will be up for approval for public display and comment in March. Rohder said final budget approval should take place in April. The budget includes no increase in enrollment or tuition, with a property tax increase of 2.3 percent. “It’ll be a balanced budget so I think it will be the 43rd year in a row the college will have a balanced budget,” Mihelich said.

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – Common Core and state funding were major topics Tuesday during a candidate forum featuring Plainfield School District 202 Board candidates. The Coordination of Administration and Parent Group for Educational Efficiency, or CAPE, hosted the forum, which was more of a question and answer period than a debate. The four candidates – Heather Drake, Kevin Kirberg, Greg Nichols and Sharlyne Williams – also took questions on their personal goals for the district, special education, making school valuable for students venturing into trade industries, attracting and retaining teachers and community outreach.

Common Core

Illinois Common Core standards testing starts March 9,

so candidates were asked their opinions on the new standards. All the candidates generally agreed Common Core was good in theory, but they said it was implemented too quickly or not well enough. “I think it was rushed,” Williams said, noting there was too much emphasis on testing. “I still think that if it’s at the local level ... it can be effective,” Williams said. Kirberg said punitive funding, and not standards, were detrimental. “We need to have it structured differently,” Kirberg said. “We can’t be given mandates that we can’t teach to.” Nichols likes the Common Core concept, but not the implementation, speed or the fact that commercial entities, such as textbook companies, are taking advantage of the new standards. He advocated for more local control.

“How we get there is our business,” Nichols said. “The time we use to get there is our business. But at the end of fourth grade, we leave with the child knowing these things. I think that’s a good thing.” Drake said the district’s ability to roll out its own curriculum was important. She said legislators constantly changing the system showed it wasn’t ready for roll out. “Students in Illinois are going to be just as prepared as students anywhere else, those students are then on equal playing fields when applying to colleges and anywhere

else,” Drake said.

Funding and local control

All the candidates agreed district finances are the most pressing issue. District 202 passed a balanced budget for the second year in a row last year, but with state funding uncertain, revenue was the main worry. “Pressing Springfield is a big thing, as well,” Drake said. “But if there’s anything we can do in the district, we need to try to find a way to do it.” Kirberg said the district has managed expenses well and state revenue is the issue.

ONLY $8.00

“Maybe there will be some movement now with new leadership in Springfield, but I think there are other sources that we have to explore,” he said. Nichols said having a group of un-elected federal officials deciding curriculum wasn’t wise. “In my opinion, the Department of Education almost shouldn’t exist,” he said. Williams said local districts should have more control over curriculum, and that the state should “massage it so it’s a better fit for local school districts.”

Joliet Park District begins work on referendum projects By BOB OKON bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The Joliet Park District is moving forward on projects to be funded by a bond referendum approved overwhelmingly by voters. The Joliet Park District in January sold $9.5 million in bonds to pay for park and facility improvements. Some good news for taxpayers is that the bonds were sold at a lower interest rate than expected, meaning the referendum may cost a little less than originally estimated. On Monday, the Park Board approved an engineering contract for the replacement of lights at Memorial Stadium. The $16,340 contract went to United Engineering in Shorewood. The entire project is estimated to cost $300,000. Another project already

underway is engineering for new roads and trails at Pilcher Park, estimated at $2 million. Voters in November approved $19.5 million in bonds for park improvements. The referendum passed with 70 percent of voters casting a yes vote. The park district plans to sell the remainder of the bonds in 2016. Interest rates were low enough on the first round of bond sales that the park district expects the impact on property taxes will be lighter than expected, said Finance Director Matt Pehle. “It’s going to depend on the second half of the bonds going out,” Pehle said. “Right now, it looks like it would be down about 75 cents to a dollar.” That would mean the impact on property taxes could be closer to $19 per $100,000 of assessed value, instead of the

original $20 estimate, he said. Taxpayers will begin to see the cost of the referendum on this year’s property tax bill, but not the full impact, since not all of the bonds have been issued. Meanwhile, the park district will look toward other projects, said Park Board President Glen Marcum. Those projects include an East Side recreational facility, likely to be built at Nowell Park. Marcum said before that facility is designed, park officials will meet with the community to hear what they want. “All along during the referendum, we made it clear that we want to include them [the community] in the design process,” Marcum said. “But they have to remember that the building must be self-sustaining. So, it can’t be just a gym.”

Mayors say closure of Illinois nuclear plants would hurt cities The ASSOCIATED PRESS CLINTON – Mayors of six Illinois communities – including Morris and Braceville – are warning of potential economic consequences if three nuclear power plants close in their areas. Exelon Corp. has said it might have to shutter at least three of its six nuclear plants in Illinois if they can’t be made profitable long-term. The Herald & Review reports the six mayors sent letters to Gov. Bruce Rauner and top state legislators saying the plants are essential to their communities. The mayors are from Clinton, Morris, Oregon, East Moline, Braceville and Marseilles. Any debate in Springfield about the nuclear facilities should also focus on surrounding communities, they said. “Illinois nuclear facilities provide thousands of good jobs; the kind of jobs you can

“ ... if we can’t find a long-term path to profitability, the company is going to consider shutting down any of these plants.” Brett Nauman Exelon spokesman

support a family on,” the mayors wrote in a letter dated Feb. 4. The nuclear plants that Exelon says could close are in Clinton, Rock Island and Ogle County. Closure of the plants could cost $1.8 billion a year in lost economic activity and 7,800 jobs, according to a report from state agencies. Exelon says the plants are having a hard time competing with other energy sources like wind that get tax breaks. Nuclear power providers have

struggled with aging plants that are expensive to operate, as well as low electricity prices. A report from several state agencies released last month said penalizing competitors that emit carbon dioxide could help Exelon’s nuclear facilities stay open. The coal industry has said that plan could force plants to close. Environmentalists prefer a boost for renewable energy. A group that’s organized against Exelon called Better Energy Solutions for Tomorrow claims Exelon doesn’t need help as a profitable company. But Brett Nauman, an Exelon spokesman, said looking at the entire company’s financial health doesn’t mean much for the nuclear plants in question. “And if we can’t find a long-term path to profitability, the company is going to consider shutting down any of these plants,” Nauman said.

Health dept. to investigate dumping complaint

JOLIET – The Will County Health Department will investigate a complaint of an odor coming from a dumping at a field near the Chicagoland Speedway, a spokesman said Wednesday. “We received a complaint earlier today, and we will send someone out to do a site visit,” Vic Reato said. The report involves an area at Laraway Road and Rowell Avenue across from the Chicagoland Speedway. The investigation will determine the nature of the incident and whether it falls under the health department’s jurisdiction, Reato said. He said complaints that involve sludge spread over farm fields with the property owner’s permission are referred to the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency.

Down payment is one of the two biggest hurdles for first-time homebuyers. According to a recent survey commissioned by NeighborWorks Amercia, 70% of U.S. adults are unaware of down payment assistant programs available for middle-income homebuyers in their community. At MSI, we pride ourselves on educating and helping first time buyers, said A.J. Rossi, Vice President and area manager at MSI in Shorewood. We’ve had great success with these programs! MSI Loan Officers can help compare the cost of renting and owning. Monthly payment calculators can also be very useful, especially for first time homebuyers. A good first step when starting the process is determining how much they can borrow so they know what price range to use when shopping for homes. Being educated by experienced lenders can make deciding between a fixed rate or adjustable rate

mortgage and the length of a loan easier. In 2014, MSI helped over 470 families receive in excess of $3.8 million in down payment assistance. All the Mortgage Loan Officers in the Shorewood office have extensive knowledge and experience originating these loans. Prequalify before you buy, and be sure to ask about IHDA, Assist Bond, and Illinois League/Federal Home Loan Bank down payment assistance programs. With new programs on the horizon this year, it’s important to discuss your options with your loan officer before you begin to shop and enter into a contract.

FRANKFORT – The village of Frankfort reported a water main break Wednesday in the area of 100 Golfview Lane, located just west of Harlem Avenue, in the Prestwick subdivision. The leak is in the middle of a landscape berm and the water main is about 15 feet deep, according to a village news release. No residents were without water as of Wednesday afternoon. “Due to the depth and location of the break, heavy equipment will be required to safely make the repair and access may be required through Golfview Drive,” according to the news release. “The dig site contains several large trees, which may be removed and will be replaced as appropriate, with full restoration this spring.” Frankfort plans to start the project Friday. Anyone with questions may call Tony Minette, Frankfort’s utilities director, at 815-469-2177.

announced Wednesday the Democratic Caucus has approved the House Democratic Steering and Policy Committee’s recommendation to name U.S. Rep. Bill Foster, Illinois, to the Science, Space and Technology Committee. Science and innovation are great invigorators of the economy, Pelosi said in a news release, adding that research creates jobs, launches new industries, and provides cures to diseases. “The Science, Space and Technology Committee has a critical role to play in advancing respect for science and ensuring that American innovation continues to create new possibilities for the future,” she said in the news release. “As one of only a handful of trained scientists in Congress, Foster knows that scientific progress is not inevitable – it requires forward looking policies that help undergird the leadership and creativity of scientists in our classrooms, in our laboratories, and in shop floors around the country,” Pelosi said in the news release.

“This is not a game.” Catherine Kelly Gov. Rauner’s spokesperson

ic House Speaker Michael Madigan also said last week he thought a deal might be imminent. But his spokesman acknowledged Tuesday that while there have been some discussion at the staff level, no significant negotiations have taken place between Rauner and the Legislature. Cullerton wants Rauner to release a greater level of detail about budget plans before granting expanded authority for the current year, Phelon said. She also noted that Cullerton wants next year’s budget conversations to be “balanced,” with discussions about new revenues such as a

potential tax increases. The Republican governor’s proposed $32 billion budget for fiscal 2016, which begins in July, would include deep cuts to Medicaid, pensions and other programs to bridge a roughly $6 billion budget gap without raising taxes. It raises no new revenue and includes controversial pension changes, which some lawmakers argue may not pass the Legislature, to account for $2.2 billion of the savings. “During Rauner’s campaign, or certainly up until this point, was a recognition that new revenue needs to be part of the budget mix,” Phelon said. “But now ... it seems to be absent from any conversation about how we address structural deficiencies.” A $35.7 billion budget lawmakers passed last spring didn’t allocate enough money for expenses, while a de-

cision on extending Illinois’ income tax increase went unaddressed, in part due to the November election. The tax increase rolled back on Jan. 1, from 5 percent to 3.75 percent for individuals, and from 7 percent to 5.25 percent for corporations, creating a $1.6 billion hole. “This is not a game,” Rauner’s spokesperson, Catherine Kelly, said in an emailed statement. “Illinois is in a financial crisis, and child care centers and the safety of our prisons are at risk. As far as the Rauner administration is concerned, the deadline to find a responsible solution to the $1.6 billion budget hole was yesterday. The governor remains committed to finding a responsible way forward that manages our immediate fiscal crisis without raising taxes and without irresponsible borrowing.”

Garcia says ‘working class’ to power bid for Chicago mayor By SOPHIA TAREEN and SARA BURNETT The Associated Press CHICAGO – If Jesus “Chuy” Garcia is going to have a shot at upsetting Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel in an April runoff, he’ll need to quickly solidify a coalition of minorities, union members and progressives reminiscent of one that buoyed his mentor, Harold Washington, the city’s first black mayor. Emanuel enjoys big advantages in money and experience, having raised millions more than Garcia, a Cook County commissioner who jumped into the race just three months ago. The ex-congressman and White House chief of staff also has the backing of his former boss, President Barack Obama, who recorded ads for Emanuel and stumped for him during a stop in Chicago last week. But a beaming Garcia remained optimistic Wednesday, a day after voters not only denied Emanuel an easy second term but put several established Chicago politicians on the ropes, including a grandson

RIGHT: Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel speaks at a news conference Wednesday at a senior living complex in Chicago where he talked about the results of the Tuesday mayoral election. of former Mayor Richard J. Daley. He said the election was a message from working people who believe Emanuel puts the interests of business and the wealthy before them. “It’s very clear there’s something going on in Chicago that says that we need to go in a different direction,” said Garcia, who spent the morning thanking voters at a downtown commuter train stop and doing

a flurry of interviews from the campaign office. One countertop displayed a caricature of Garcia in a Superman costume and the caption, “Si se puede.” The expression is commonly used by pro-labor and immigrant rights groups, and an English translation, “Yes we can,” was the slogan of Obama’s 2008 presidential campaign. “Working class folk who

stepped up in this campaign feel that Chicago needs to be responsive to the neighborhoods and toward ordinary people and we delivered,” Garcia said. “It may be the retooling of a Democratic coalition, maybe with a small ‘d.’ ” Garcia, born in Mexico and largely raised in Chicago, billed himself as the “neighborhood guy.” While the city’s minority populations have grown and changed, Garcia’s approach harkened comparisons to Washington’s three decades ago, which relied on coalescing black and Latino support. The difference now is that voters, particularly younger ones, are more willing to cross racial boundaries to support a candidate. “There is a much more diverse multicultural youth base ... this is what their life experience is,” said Sylvia Puente, executive director of the Latino Policy Forum. “They resonate with the candidate.” Emanuel needed to win a majority of the vote in the five-candidate field to avoid an April 7 runoff, but fell far short, getting only about 45 percent.

His support was strongest in the city’s downtown and on its North Side, home to some of Chicago’s more affluent neighborhoods. Garcia, the second-highest vote getter with about 34 percent, did well on the West Side, particularly in heavily Hispanic areas. The mayor lost support in the city’s largely AfricanAmerican wards on the South Side, compared to his first election in 2011. He headed there first thing Wednesday morning, shaking hands with commuters at a train station before addressing voters at a senior center. Emanuel said the spring runoff will be about which candidate has the “plans and the perseverance” to make progress in the city. “It’s no longer a multiple choice,” he said. “It’s a clear choice between two different visions of the future and how to get there. One way is about the old politics of deferral. And one is about confronting our challenges head-on by being clear about what they are, being honest and forthright about the choices we have to make.”

SPRINGFIELD – New Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner denied Wednesday that he and Democratic legislative leaders have hit a roadblock in negotiations over whether to give him more authority to patch a multibillion-dollar hole in this year’s budget. Following a meeting with Cabinet members, he expressed confidence that an agreement is just “days away.” But on Tuesday, Rikeesha Phelon, a spokeswoman for Senate President John Cullerton, said the two sides are “nowhere near a deal” and instead seem to be engaging in “a high-profile game of chicken.” Rauner wants to move money from what he calls “nonessential” areas into critical state programs that have

shortfalls, such as prisons and the child care program, which needs $300 million to operate through June. A fund for court reporters is expected to run out of cash next month. The idea of giving the governor more authority isn’t new. Lawmakers gave Rauner’s predecessor, Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn, expanded authority the first two years of his first term. But while Republicans decried the move at the time, Democrats had the advantage of controlling both the General Assembly and the governor’s office. Now, Democratic leaders, particularly Cullerton, are showing less incentive to grant the governor’s wishes, with both sides saying the other’s inaction is putting vulnerable residents at risk. Although the new divided government has created a far different dynamic, Democrat-

Rauner says ‘bad’ lawmakers stand in the way of change

SPRINGFIELD – Gov. Bruce Rauner is asking farmers to help him influence lawmakers and support those who back his agenda for “reshaping” Illinois. The GOP governor told attendees at an Illinois Farm Bureau conference Wednesday that lawmakers who oppose his proposed reforms will harm farmers and the business community. Rauner asked farmers to help him protect “good” lawmakers and “go after the bad ones” as he pushes his agenda in the coming months. His plans for Illinois include cutting billions in state spending, freezing property taxes and increasing school funding. He also has proposed several measures to curtail unions. Rauner last year announced that he had expanded his campaign funds by $20 million to support lawmakers who may need to make difficult decisions to support his agenda.

Program would examine field drug test at CPD

SPRINGFIELD – A measure is moving forward that would establish a Chicago police pilot program for a field drug test that advocates say could be an invaluable tool for police. Chicago police Superintendent Garry McCarthy would be responsible under the bill for creating the program for the test, which is used to identify whether a recovered substance is marijuana, cocaine or heroin. Backers of the legislation sponsored by Democratic state Rep. Mike Zalewski of Riverside say the test is easy to use and could be used by other departments around the state

A farmer harvests corn Nov. 11 near Washington, Ill. The Illinois Farm Bureau said the 2014 fall harvest was a historic crop. The USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service said Illinois had average yields of more than 200 bushels per acre for corn and 50 bushels per acre for soybeans. That is up from 178 bushels of corn per acre in 2013 and 49 bushels of soybeans per acre.

Secretary of State to launch autism services program

SPRINGFIELD – Illinois Secretary of State and State Librarian Jesse White and The Autism Program of Illinois are launching a statewide program to increase library services for residents impacted by autism. “Targeting Autism” is supported by a grant from the federal Institute of Museum and Library Services. The program aims to collect a number of solutions to address the support needs of autistic residents. Plans are to hold forums in Springfield next month ad in September to

solicit suggestions. White’s office says the forums will bring together national and regional autism experts and advocates to establish a strong network of libraries and communities. White says empowering libraries to better serve those with autism “requires this type of collaborative effort.”

Bloomington airport agency wants to expand tax base

BLOOMINGTON – The Bloomington-Normal Airport Authority wants to expand its tax base to give it the option of increasing revenue. The operator of the Central Illinois Regional Airport also is seeking a developer to lease airport land for a hotel, conference center and restaurant. Earl Kingman, vice president

of the authority’s board, told The Pantagraph in Bloomington “the airport is financially strong” and these steps will ensure it stays that way. Currently, only residents of Bloomington and Normal pay property taxes to support the airport. If legislation is drafted and approved, the tax base would be expanded to all of McLean County. The rate then would drop, meaning overall revenue would stay roughly the same. But it opens the door for more money if needed in the future.

Suburban Catholic priest charged with child porn

ROLLING MEADOWS – A suburban Catholic priest has been ordered held on $175,000 bond after being charged with felony possession and reproduction of

child pornography. Cook County State’s Attorney Anita Alvarez’s office announced the charges on Wednesday against 34-year-old Clovis Vilchez-Parra, associate pastor at the Mission San Juan Diego Catholic Church in Arlington Heights. The Archdiocese of Chicago said Archbishop Blase Cupich has removed Vilchez-Parra from ministry while the case goes forward. The archdiocese said it is “ready to cooperate fully” with law enforcement authorities. The archdiocese last year released thousands of files on dozens of abusive priests. A new lawsuit filed by a man who said he was a priest-abuse victim seeks more documents. It claims the archdiocese created a public nuisance by shielding pedophile priests for decades.

House Speaker John Boehner of Ohio listens during a news conference Wednesday after a meeting on Capitol Hill in Washington. Boehner said he was waiting for the Senate to act on legislation to fund the Homeland Security Department ahead of Friday’s midnight deadline.

Deadline near, deal sets up vote by Senate on Homeland Security By DAVID ESPO and ERICA WERNER The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Three days before a partial Homeland Security shutdown, lawmakers cleared the way Wednesday for Senate passage of legislation to fund the agency without immigration-related provisions opposed by President Barack Obama. Approval in the Senate would send the issue to the House, where some conservatives derided the plan as a surrender to the White House. Other Republicans predicted it would clear, but Speaker John Boehner declined to say if he would put it to a vote. “I’m waiting for the Senate to act. The House has done their job,” he said at a news conference where he repeatedly sidestepped questions about his plans. Increasingly, however, it appeared the only alternative to House acceptance of the Senate measure – or perhaps a short-term funding bill – was the partial shutdown of a

federal department with major anti-terrorism responsibilities, and the likelihood the GOP would shoulder whatever political blame resulted. The developments in Congress unfolded as Obama met at the White House with immigration activists before departing for a speech in Florida, where more than 23 percent of the population is of Hispanic descent. One person at the meeting, Frank Sharry, quoted Obama as saying Republicans were engaging in “kabuki” to appease conservatives who adamantly oppose presidential directives letting more than 4 million immigrants stay in the country without threat of deportation even though they came to the country illegally. Later, in Florida, Obama predicted his administration would win a victory at the appeals court in its bid to overturn a ruling that blocked his immigration policies from taking effect. “If we don’t, we’ll take it up from there,” he said, apparently referring to an appeal to the Supreme Court. The president already had

arrived in Florida aboard Air Force One when the Senate took the first of several votes that could be required to pass the stand-alone spending bill. The tally was 98-2, reflecting a bipartisan sentiment it was time to bring the current episode to a close. The Homeland Security funding legislation has been at the core of a politically charged struggle for weeks in the Senate. Democrats repeatedly have blocked action on the measure, objecting that it included House-passed immigration provisions the White House opposed. With the threatened partial shutdown approaching, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., retreated on Tuesday, offering separate votes on two bills. One would provide DHS funding, while the other would repeal Obama’s immigration directives issued last year. Democrats initially said they wouldn’t agree unless Boehner signed on to the deal; but after a closed-door meeting, the party’s leader gave his consent.

3 in N.Y., Fla. accused of plot to assist Islamic State group By COLLEEN LONG The Associated Press NEW YORK – Three men were arrested Wednesday on charges of plotting to help the Islamic State group wage war against the United States, and federal officials said one of them spoke of shooting President Barack Obama or planting a bomb on Coney Island. Akhror Saidakhmetov was arrested at Kennedy Airport, where he was attempting to board a flight to Istanbul on his way to Syria, authorities said. Abdurasul Hasanovich Juraboev had a ticket to travel to Istanbul next month and was arrested in Brooklyn, federal prosecutors said. The two were held without bail after a brief court appearance. A third defendant, Abror Habibov, is accused of helping

fund Saidakhmetov’s efforts to join the Islamic State group after Saidakhmetov’s mother took away his passport to try to prevent him from traveling. Habibov was ordered held without bail in Florida. The three are charged with attempt and conspiracy to provide material support to a terrorist organization. If convicted, each could face a maximum of 15 years in prison. “This is real,” New York Police Department Commissioner William Bratton said. “This is the concern about the lone wolf, inspired to act without ever going to the Mideast.” The Department of Justice has charged roughly 20 people in the past year with planning to travel to the Middle East to fight alongside militants such as the Islamic State group, which controls parts of Syr-

ia and Iraq. Federal officials have been concerned about Americans going overseas to train with these groups and returning with plots to carry out attacks at home. Federal prosecutors say Juraboev, 24, first came to the attention of law enforcement in August, when he posted on an Uzbek-language website that propagates the Islamic State ideology. “Greetings! We too want to pledge our allegiance and commit ourselves while not present there,” he wrote, according to federal authorities. “Is it possible to commit ourselves as dedicated martyrs anyway while here? “What I’m saying is, to shoot Obama and then get shot ourselves, will it do? That will strike fear in the hearts of infidels.”

Justices appearing to favor Muslim with headscarf who was denied job By MARK SHERMAN The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Have you heard the one about the Sikh, the Hasidic Jew, the Muslim and the nun who walked into a job interview? Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito channeled his inner stand-up comic Wednesday in indicating he and most of the court would side with a Muslim woman who showed up for a job interview with Abercrombie & Fitch wearing a black headscarf. She didn’t get hired. Samantha Elauf, the woman at the center of the case about religious discrimination in hiring, was in the courtroom Wednesday. The case turns on how an employer is supposed to know that a worker or applicant has religious beliefs that need to be accommodated. The clothing retailer said Elauf can’t claim discrimination because she didn’t say anything about religion during her interview.

Samantha Elauf (center) walks out of the Supreme Court in Washington on Wednesday. Alito acknowledged it sounded as if he was making a joke in describing interviews with “a Sikh man wearing a turban,” “a Hasidic man wearing a hat,” “a Muslim woman wearing a hijab” and “a Catholic nun in a habit.” But his point was employers can’t feign ignorance when people appear before them in

religious clothing. “Now, do you think ... that those people have to say, ‘We just want to tell you, we’re dressed this way for a religious reason. We’re not just trying to make a fashion statement,’ ” Alito said. Pressed by both conservative and liberal justices, Abercrombie lawyer Shay Dvoretzky said employers would get into trouble if they started making assumptions about people. “What we want to avoid is a rule that leads employers, in order to avoid liability, to start stereotyping about whether they think, guess or suspect that somebody is doing something for religious reasons,” Dvoretzky said. Only Justice Antonin Scalia seemed open to the company’s argument. Several of Scalia’s colleagues said there’s an easy way to avoid stereotyping. Tell job applicants what the rules are and ask them, as Justice Sonia Sotomayor said, “You have a problem with that?”

Christianity in death, life for modern martyrs Twenty-one Egyptian Coptic Christians were slaughtered on a beach in Libya. And even in his mourning, the brother of two of them gave thanks. Beshir Kamel, brother of Bishoy, who was 25, and Samuel, who was 23, thanked their executioners, Islamic State terrorists, for not editing out the name of their savior when disseminating their execution videos. While appearing on an Arabic Christian TV station, Kamel said that the families of the men – laborers, 13 of them hailing from the same impoverished village, who were working in Libya to support their families at home – were congratulating one another. “We are proud to have this number of people from our village who have become martyrs,” he explained. “Since the Roman times, we as Christians have been targeted to be martyred. This only helps us to endure such crises because the Bible told us to love our enemies and bless those who curse us.” In his response to the news from Libya, Bishop Angaelos of the Coptic Orthodox Church in the United Kingdom, explained: “While it may seem illogical or incomprehensible, we also pray for those who have carried out these horrific crimes, that the value of God’s creation and human life may become more evident to them, and in this realization, that the wider effects of pain brought by this and other acts of brutality may be realized and avoided.” Faith is more than a comforting bromide or a mere setting for life’s rites of passage – births, weddings and funerals – it’s a demanding and radical way of living in the world, one that flies in the face of a secular society that is

VIEWS Kathryn Jean Lopez obsessed with power, blinded by greed and bedeviled by violence. Besides fundamental matters of human rights and freedom, this is why Christianity matters; this is why it’s so urgent that followers of that faith not be eradicated from the birthplace of their religion. Pope Francis emphasized this as he celebrated morning Mass in honor of the slain Coptics: “They were killed simply for the fact they were Christians.” The evil imparted on Milad Makeen Zaky, Abanub Ayad Atiya, Maged Solaiman Shehata, Yusuf Shukry Yunan, Kirollos Shokry Fawzy, Bishoy Astafanus Kamel, Somaily Astafanus Kamel, Malak Ibrahim Sinweet, Tawadros Yusuf Tawadros, Girgis Milad Sinweet, Mina Fayez Aziz, Hany Abdelmesih Salib, Bishoy Adel Khalaf, Samuel Alham Wilson, Ezat Bishri Naseef, Loqa Nagaty, Gaber Munir Adly, Esam Badir Samir Malak Farag Abram, Sameh Salah Faruq, and one other worker from Awr village in Egypt is the most important news story of the pre-Oscars week, on a day that included an NBA All-Star game and SNL 40th anniversary show.

OUR VIEW

Wisdom from America’s ‘dad’ On Dec. 14, 1799, the final day of his life, 67-year-old George Washington, weakened by an infection after a horseback ride in a snowstorm, along with the unsound medical practice of bleeding, asked a secretary whether his final deathbed instructions had been understood. The secretary said yes. “Tis well,” Washington whispered. Then he died. ’Tis well that we remember the Father of our country this week, as Sunday was 283 years after his birth Feb. 22, 1732. His name is synonymous with our nation. His likeness is ever present on our currency. ’Tis well, too, that Washington’s leadership qualities receive attention, above and beyond that amalgamated, manufactured holiday known as Presidents Day. The life of Washington, who led the Continental Army to victory in the American Revolution, presided over the 1787 Constitutional Convention, and was elected our first president in 1789, offers wisdom worth remembering today. Learn from your mistakes. Washington witnessed plenty as a frontier colonial officer, and he made some himself. From them, he learned the British could be defeated. Take the initiative. With the British occupying Boston, Washington approved a plan to transport heavy guns from an inland fort to the heights surrounding the city. The astonished British were forced to evacuate without a shot being fired. Protect your flanks. Not only did he do this successfully against the British, but also

against rival generals. Don’t give up. Washington took hardship and discouragement in stride. He conquered the despair of Valley Forge and led his army to victory. Take calculated risks. Crossing the Delaware for a bold Christmas attack on the enemy was a gamble, but it paid off. Live to fight another day. Washington lost many battles, but he knew when to withdraw to keep his army intact. Lead by example. As the first president, everything he did set a precedent. He knew it, and acted with wisdom. He got the nation off to a good start. Be wary of politics. Washington warned Americans that political parties would create discord for the fledgling nation. He was right. His countrymen should have listened. Cultivate friendships and alliances. Friends helped Washington succeed militarily and in government. The French fleet helped him force the British to surrender at Yorktown. Know when to say when. Washington could have been a supreme leader for life, if he’d wanted to. But he voluntarily stepped down, to his everlasting credit. Take care of your health. Yeh, that horseback ride in the snow wasn’t such a good idea. Neither was medicinal bleeding.

Create something positive that will outlast you. Well, all Washington did was to help

create the United States of America. What an outstanding legacy. Washington was a wise leader. ’Tis well that he be remembered.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL: UNIVERSITY OF ST. FRANCIS 84, ROBERT MORRIS 82

BY CURT HERRON cherron@shawmedia.com

• Thursday, February 26, 2015

JOLIET – When your team has won six straight and 14 of its last 18 games to close out the regular season, it’s easy to believe you can overcome any deficit to win a contest. That’s how the players on the St. Francis women’s basketball team felt as they fought Wednesday to keep their season alive against NAIA Division II No. 16 Robert Morris at the Sullivan Center. The Fighting Saints faced a 10-point deficit with less than 11 minutes remaining and still were down by four with 95 seconds left before rallying for an 84-82 win in the Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference quarterfinals. St. Francis (1714) advances to Friday’s semifinals against No. 4 Saint Xavier (28-2) in Chicago. Kamari Jordan scored a season-high 29 points, which featured 16 points in the opening half. The NAIA DII leader in 3-point shooting hit 7 of 11 attempts from beyond the arc and had six rebounds. NAIA DII scoring leader Katie Gonnering tossed in 18 points while grabbing 12 rebounds, while Mary Rouse (14 points, six rebounds), Christina Ekhomu (11 points, nine assists) and Kaitlyn Ray (eight points) were other USF leaders. “When they were up 10, I felt that we hit some timely shots,” Saints coach Samantha Quigley said. “They were almost going to take it to 12 or 15, and we’d hit big shots, which really helped. We weren’t getting the stops that we wanted to, but we did in the last three minutes, which were pretty important. “We were trying to get them to believe that the reason that our schedule is so hard is because we’re preparing, and I think that they finally bought into it when some wins started coming and they started to see the light at the end of the tunnel – which helps, since they believe that they can beat teams like this.” RMU (21-6) took an 82-78 lead with 1:35 left following a layup by Megan Majors, but USF responded with a 3-pointer from Ray eight seconds lat-

Jordan had a game-high 29 points as the Fighting Saints defeated the Eagles, 84-82. St. Francis forward Katie Gonnering looks for an open basket during the first half Wednesday against Robert Morris University. Gonnering, the NAIA DII scoring leader, tossed in 18 points and had 12 rebounds to help the Fighting Saints win the Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference quarterfinal contest.

er and then moved in front for good with 27 seconds left when Ray hit a layup. Ekhomu made a free throw with six seconds left, and the Eagles missed a tying shot at the buzzer. Fueled by big efforts from Yolanda De La Torre (26 points, 19 rebounds) and Dana Gettis (27 points), RMU seeming took

control with a 12-0 run shortly before the midpoint of the final half to grab a 69-59 lead. But the Saints responded with a 17-2 spurt to go up, 7671, with 5:27 left. Jordan scored seven points during that run, while Gonnering and Rouse added four points each. However, RMU answered with a 9-0

burst to move back in front, which set the stage for the Saints’ dramatic comeback. “Even when we had a rough start to our season, we were preparing for this time right now,” Jordan said. “We got a really big three from K Ray. She’s been sick all week, and so [was] half of our team. But

we’ve just kept battling and getting fluids into us, and we came to play tonight. “They’re very talented and have a really great team, but we wanted practice tomorrow, we didn’t want to have our seniors to go home tonight. I like how our players and coaching staff do one thing and say, ‘That’s it.’ We don’t clash at all, and we help out each other.” The Saints got off to a great start, building a 28-14 advantage midway through the first half. But the Eagles put together a 14-1 run, with Gettis supplying eight of the points, to pull to within 29-28 with 6:10 left in the half. USF owned a 4439 lead at the break. After USF grabbed an eightpoint lead early in the final half, the Eagles started to get back into the contest. They took their first lead at 55-54 with 13:47 left on a layup by Ashley Collins and then started their key run a bit later to build up their biggest advantage.

CHICAGOLAND COLLEGIATE ATHLETIC CONFERENCE TOURNAMENT: U. OF ST. FRANCIS 67, ROOSEVELT U. 66

Presniakovas shoots for 3 ... USF wins Plainfield South graduate hits the game-winner against Roosevelt By DICK GOSS dgoss@shawmedia.com JOLIET – On the night when junior Eddie Presniakovas, a Plainfield South graduate, went over the 1,000-point plateau in his University of St. Francis career, he saved his haymaker for last. Presniakovas looked up, saw his defender had his hands down and rose up for one of his picture-book jump shots. No matter that he was about 23 feet from the basket – with the Saints trailing Roosevelt, 66-64 – with about 20 seconds left. He felt it. Swish. After a misfire on the other end, USF had survived Roosevelt, 67-66, in Wednesday night’s rowdy opening-round game in the Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference Tournament at the Sullivan Center. The Saints’ reward is a trip to Olivet Nazarene on Friday night, with Cardinal Stritch supplying the opposition in the 5 p.m. game. Olivet eliminated Robert Morris on Wednesday. “I was frustrated because I had missed open 3s the whole game,” said Presniakovas, who finished 2 of 7 from beyond the arc. “I owed the guys one. I felt other ones that I missed were on line, but they were bouncing off.” Presniakovas said the Saints had wanted to get the ball inside on their final possession, “but it broke down, so we got into our regular offense. “I felt like I was open, and the defender had his hands down. I’m known as a deep shooter, anyway. I let loose and prayed my best.” “It was a deep 3,” USF coach Ryan Marks agreed. “But Eddie obviously has shot the ball very well all season. I want confident players to make big plays, and he is confident. The thing I liked best about the shot was that it was a rhythm shot.” Before Presniakovas’ hero-

The Saints – who had opened the game with a 13-0 lead – still

were up, 56-43, with 6:10 remaining. However, there is something about the CCAC this season. Teams don’t quit, and

as Presniakovas said, “Any team can be anybody on any night.” Roosevelt shot 6 of 29 – including 2 of 13 from 3-point range – in falling behind, 3421, at halftime. But it was the complete opposite the second half. The Lakers hit 14 of 24 shots, including 6 of 10 3s, in the final 20 minutes. “They’re really a good team,” Marks said “Their bread and butter is to spread it out, shoot 3s and hit the big guy inside. “What happened was they got easier 3s to shoot in the second half, and they knocked them down. Sometimes, it’s hard to get off to a big lead early like we did. You have to protect the lead for so long that you start thinking, ‘What do I do if I lose this lead?’ ” Ilya Ilyayev led St. Fran-

cis with 17 points and eight rebounds. Jake Raspopovich had 16, and Presniakovas’ game-winner pushed him into double figures with 11. Matt Sherriff, who hit two early 3-pointers, chipped in nine. “I am really enjoying this team that we have,” Marks said. “And I really enjoy playing at this time of year. As long as we are allowed to play, we’ll do it.” The results of the CCAC Tournament will help determine the league’s representatives in the NAIA Division II National Tournament. If Olivet reaches the title game Saturday, the opponent, either Cardinal Stritch or USF, will qualify. The other may or may not get in. Yes, Friday’s game is huge. “It’s big, and they’re all big now,” Presniakovas said.

Seneca throws scare into top-seeded Reed-Custer By ROB OESTERLE roesterle@shawmedia.com SENECA – Earlier in the season, the Seneca boys basketball team lost to Reed-Custer 103-55. That is not a misprint. That was a 48-point loss. The two teams met again Wednesday night in the Class 2A Seneca Regional semifinals. This time, with 3:48 to play, Seneca trailed just 67-66 after two free throws by Brandon Viken. Unfortunately for the Irish, that was the closest they got, as Reed-Custer pulled away late for a hard-fought 77-69 win. “This is one of those games when I was a blubbering idiot in the locker room,” Seneca coach Russell Witte said. “I was so proud of our guys and how they played. We just couldn’t quite get over the hump. But if you are a basketball purist, that was basketball nirvana out there tonight. Two teams playing very well, going down to the wire. “The last time we played them, we lost by 48. This time, we had three or four cracks at taking the lead but never got that shot to fall.” Reed-Custer (23-5) jumped out to a 9-2 lead early and extended it to 26-13 at the end of the first quarter. The Comets had made 398 3-pointers on the season entering the game, and Brent Headrick made three in the first quarter. From then on, however, the Comets had a grand total of one. “The first time we played them, we went zone, and that didn’t work very well,” Witte said. “I think they hit like

20 3s that night. Tonight, we let them go on their drives and denied the kickout, and I think that flustered them a little bit. Our guys just played their hearts out.” Seneca outscored Reed-Custer, 20-18, in the second quarter to cut the margin to 44-33 at halftime before posting a 21-15 advantage in the third en route to closing the gap to 59-54 entering the fourth. The Comets led, 63-58, after a basket by Headrick (13 points), but Seneca cut it to 63-62 after consecutive buckets by Ross McCormick (18 points) and Viken (11 points). The teams traded baskets twice more before Reed-Custer went on a 7-0 run to go ahead 74-66. Ben Rohder, who led Seneca with 20 points, hit a 3-pointer with 37.2 seconds left, but Travis Schoonover sealed things with an old-fashioned three-point play off a steal with 23.7 to go. “Seneca had a good plan,” ReedCuster coach Mark Porter said. “They did a nice job of handling our pressure and denying the 3-pointers. We get a lot of our offensive rebounds on long rebounds from 3-point attempts; but when we aren’t shooting very many 3s, there aren’t very many long rebounds. “The name of the game at this time of year, though, is survive and advance, and we did that. This was a scary game for us. It was on their floor, and they had already played and got the jitters out. We got it up to a 13-14 point lead at one point, but they took our shot and came back swinging at us.”

JOLIET – The Joliet Slammers signed infielder R.J. Fuhr and slugger Nate Roberts for the 2015 baseball season. Fuhr, son of legendary hockey goaltender Grant Fuhr, begins his professional career with the Slammers after playing center field at Mount Mercy University. Slammers manager Jeff Isom feels the younger Fuhr will make an immediate impact at the top of the lineup. Roberts was a fifth-round draft pick of the Minnesota Twins. He had a .443 on-base percentage in 2011 in the Midwest League and a .433 on-base percentage in 2012. He later won the batting title in the Arizona Fall League, a destination typically reserved for baseball’s brightest young prospects. He hit .446 in 19 games with a .556 on-base percentage, beating out current major leaguers Kolten Wong, Didi Gregorius and Joe Panik in the batting race. Roberts hit .276 last season for the A-Advanced Fort Myers Miracle.

CHICAGO – The news that Derrick Rose will have knee surgery again hit the Bulls and their fans hard and left them in a familiar spot – trying to get by without their star point guard. The torn meniscus in his right knee was announced Tuesday night – another tough twist for a franchise, a star, his sponsors and a fanbase that thought the Bulls were entering another golden era just a few years ago, with the Chicago product leading the renaissance. Instead, he’s having surgery on his right knee for the second straight year – on the

heels of a season he missed entirely following a torn left ACL. “It’s so unfair,” Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau said. “The guy’s been through so much. Any time you have surgery, it’s tough. This will hopefully be much, much shorter than the other one. But the big thing is our concern for him first as a person.” Rose’s rise from growing up in a tough Chicago neighborhood to stardom with his hometown team is well-documented. He has a maximum contract with the Bulls and a huge marketing deal with Adidas. But in some ways, this era is feeling like a big tease for the Bulls and their fans. Instead of celebrating a

championship for the first time since the Michael Jordan-Scottie Pippen era, they have suffered through close calls and long waits while Rose recovers. It wasn’t what the Bulls envisioned after taking him with the first pick in the 2008 draft. He went from Rookie of the Year to All-Star to MVP in his first three seasons, becoming the youngest player to win that award in 2011 while leading the Bulls to 62 wins and the Eastern Conference finals. But the feel-good story took a drastic turn the following season when Rose crumpled to the court with a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee in the playoff opener. The top-seeded Bulls bowed out in

the first round against the Philadelphia 76ers. Rose sat out the 2012-13 season, and his long-awaited comeback last season ended at 10 games. “I’m still shocked,” Kirk Hinrich said. “I didn’t have any idea he had an injury like that (Tuesday) at practice. I just feel for him. You can’t imagine what he’s gone through these last three years. Just when it seems like he was hitting his stride and playing great and it kind of felt like he had put it behind him, for this to happen is just devastating.” Thibodeau said Wednesday it’s not clear when the injury happened or when team physician Dr. Brian Cole will perform the surgery.

Latest injury to Rose hits Bulls hard

CHICAGO – Michael KiddGilchrist had 18 points and 12 rebounds, Mo Williams scored 17 and the Charlotte Hornets beat the Bulls, 98-86, Wednesday night after the Bulls learned Derrick Rose will have yet another knee surgery. Al Jefferson added 16 points to help the Hornets snap a five-game losing streak. But all that was overshadowed by the news that Rose needs another operation. The Bulls revealed Tuesday night that their star point guard has a torn meniscus in

his right knee, a big blow to the franchise and its fan base. That fueled more doubts about whether the 2011 NBA MVP ever will be the same, let alone lead Chicago to its first championship since the Michael Jordan-Scottie Pippen era. A similar injury limited Rose to 10 games last season and cut short his long-awaited comeback. He sat out the 201213 season recuperating from a torn ACL in his left knee. It’s not clear exactly when he will have surgery or how much time he will miss. Pau Gasol led the Bulls with 25 points and 13 rebounds – his league-best 38th double-double – but the Bulls came up short

after winning six of seven. Jimmy Butler scored 14. Aaron Brooks, starting for Rose, had a rough night with 12 points on 4-of-12 shooting. He was 1 of 5 on 3-pointers and 3 for 8 from the foul line as the Bulls dropped into a tie with Cleveland for the Central Division lead. Kidd-Gilchrist capped a seven-point spurt with a pair of dunks, making it 85-74 midway through the fourth quarter. Jefferson scored six in an 8-0 run that boosted the lead to 95-78 with 2:25 left.

Hornets: C Bismack Biyombo (bruised right knee) is

expected to resume contract drills shortly but is doubtful for the game at Boston on Friday night. He sat out a 10th consecutive game Wednesday. “From what I saw (Tuesday), maybe trying to get (him back) in Orlando (on Sunday) would be a more realistic goal,” coach Steve Clifford said. Bulls: F Taj Gibson and G Kirk Hinrich were back after being sidelined by illness. Gibson missed one game and Hinrich sat out two. ... Coach Tom Thibodeau indicated any signings the Bulls make with Rose out probably won’t impact the rotation much. He said the Bulls still have a versatile rotation, which “helps a lot.”

place the things that he does with the puck, the attention he gets,” teammate Patrick Sharp said. “But one of the strengths of our organization is depth. When a player goes down, you try to collectively try to fill in for him. But you know, as well, as you can’t replace Kaner.” The Hawks began preparing for the rest of the season when they placed Kane on long-term injured reserve Wednesday and recalled forward Teuvo Teravainen from Rockford of the American Hockey League. The 20-yearold Teravainen, who has two goals and two assists in 15 games with the Hawks, is regarded as one of the NHL’s top prospects. The Hawks also assigned Trevor van Riemsdyk to their top minor league affiliate. The rookie defenseman, who had left knee surgery in November, likely will return after a conditioning stint with the IceHogs.

CHICAGO – Blackhawks star Patrick Kane had surgery Wednesday to repair a broken left collarbone, likely sidelining the dynamic forward for the rest of the season unless the Hawks make another deep run in the playoffs. Team physician Dr. Michael Terry and Dr. Bradley Merk performed the surgery, and Terry said a full recovery will take “approximately 12 weeks.” Kane, who leads the Hawks with 27 goals and 37 assists, lost his balance and crashed into the boards after he was cross-checked by Florida defenseman Alex Petrovic with 12:11 left in the first period of Tuesday night’s 3-2 shootout victory over the Panthers. He stayed down on the ice for a short time and was hunched over as he skated to the bench and went straight to the locker room.

The three-month timeline means Kane would be out until the Western Conference finals. The Hawks won the Stanley Cup in 2013 and lost to eventual champion Los Angeles in the conference finals a year ago, but it will be quite difficult to make a similar run without Kane, who was working on one of his best seasons. “You miss a valuable guy, a buddy,” coach Joel Quenneville said Tuesday night. “He’s having one of those years that are very noticeable. But the guys still got to stick with it. Playing the right way will be emphasized as we go along.” The 26-year-old Kane led the Hawks with 20 points in last year’s postseason. He had the winning goal against Philadelphia when the Hawks won the Stanley Cup in 2010, and won the Conn Smythe Trophy for playoff MVP when they won the title again two years ago. “I don’t think you re-

The wild side of the Gospel

Plainfield church hosts annual game dinner as part of outdoorsmen ministry By DENISE M. BARAN–UNLAND

If you go

dunland@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – “He made my mouth like a sharpened sword, in the shadow of his hand he hid me; he made me into a polished arrow and concealed me in his quiver.” That Bible verse – Isaiah 49:2 – spurred an outreach from Friendship Baptist Church in Plainfield to local sportsmen and outdoorsmen, said Alan Mencer, a bow hunter and church member who helped found Chosen Arrow Ministry. The ministry’s most popular event is the annual Wild Game Dinner, which attracts 250 to 325 people, Mencer said. The ninth annual dinner is March 14. Mencer said each purchased ticket includes wild and domestic appetizers and entrees; various side dishes, as well as beverages and dessert; raffle ticket with hunting and fishing gear as prizes; a sportsman-themed slide show; and – most importantly – a brief spiritual message. “A lot of men today don’t go to church like they used to, say 40 and 50 years ago, but yet they believe there’s a God,” associate pastor Rick Mullan said. “We just want to share Jesus with them.” One reason both Mencer and Mullan hunt is the connection they feel with God during such activities. Mencer said he enjoys observing God’s design in nature. Mullan soaks up the tranquility. “It gives me time to get alone with God,” Mullan said. Other events Chosen Arrow Ministry has hosted include family bow shoots, fam-

PUZZLES SUDOKU

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

To finesse or not to finesse

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Oscar Robertson, a former top basketball player nicknamed The Big O, said, “Some players are more physical than others, some play with more finesse. Some are just really great all-around players. So you have to change your game.” At the bridge table, you might have to change your game, in particular when the bidding helps you to place the missing key-cards. That is not relevant in this deal, but how should South plan the play in three no-trump after West leads the spade queen? South starts with seven top tricks: two spades, three hearts, one diamond and one club. He needs to take two more diamond tricks to get up to nine – how? This is not a finessing deal. If one of declarer’s diamond honors is captured (or covered) by the king, he will need the suit to split 3-3, which is unlikely (a priori 35.53 percent). Instead, South should lead twice toward the hand with the two honors. He should win the first trick with dummy’s spade king and call for a low diamond. East will presumably play low, so South will win with his queen. He goes back to the board by leading his low heart to dummy’s jack. Then he plays a second low diamond toward his hand. Suppose East wins with his king and returns his second spade. Declarer wins with his ace, cashes his diamond jack, overtakes his heart queen with dummy’s king, cashes the diamond ace and claims. Lastly, note that it could cost to duck the first trick. If West is a genius, he will shift to the club queen. Then South would lose one spade, one diamond and three clubs. **

same phobia if the child witnesses the parent being terrified when near the top of a tall building. Phobias are a type of anxiety disorder. A mental health professional is best qualified to diagnose them. Tell him or her about any experience or trauma that may have set off the phobia. For example, maybe a dog attack led to your fear of dogs. Discuss how you react – your thoughts, feelings and physical symptoms – when you are confronted with the thing you fear. Also, describe what you do to avoid fearful situations. How does the phobia affect your daily life, including your job and personal relationships? Specific phobias are the most common. This is a fear of particular animals (dogs), people (clowns), environments (thunderstorms) or situations (riding in airplanes). A combination of medication and “talk therapy” can help. For short-term treatment of phobias, your doctor may prescribe an anti-anxiety medication. The most commonly used talk therapy is cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), especially a technique called desensitization therapy or exposure therapy. Exposure therapy involves gradually increasing your exposure to the thing you fear. This is done at your own pace, under controlled circumstances. As you are exposed to the thing you fear, you master your fear through anxiety-reducing strategies. Phobias can greatly interfere with a person’s life. But with proper treatment, they can be conquered.

Dear Dr. K: I have a terrible fear of heights, dogs and public speaking. My sister calls them “phobias,” and says I should seek help. How do I know if my fears are normal or if I need treatment? Dear Reader: We all have things we worry about or are afraid of. And with most of them, we’re right to be fearful. But in people with a phobia, the fear is persistent, excessive and unrealistic. As many as one in 10 people suffer from phobias at some time during their lives. How can you distinguish a justifiable fear from a phobia? In a phobia: • There are fears that are irrational, given the reality of the situation. For example, anyone may be afraid of an unrestrained, menacing dog. But most people do not run away from a calm, quiet animal on a leash. People with dog phobias avoid all dogs. • There is avoidance of triggers. People with phobias may go to great lengths to avoid the things that trigger their phobia. For example, they may walk up 10 flights of stairs to avoid using an elevator. • There are anxiety-related physical symptoms. These can include tremors, palpitations, sweating, shortness of breath, dizziness and nausea. On my website, www. askdoctork.com, I’ve put a chart that lists many different phobias. They range from fear of snakes to fear of heights and public places. Why do people get phobias? A vulnerability to getting phobias can run in families. A child of a parent with a specific type of phobia is more likely to have that same phobia than another child. That could be due to genetic factors or to non-genetic factors. Studies indicate both are involved, but non-genetic factors are more important. For example, if a parent has a fear of heights, a child may be more likely to develop the

Dear Abby: Help! Facebook is killing my social life. I am wondering if anyone else is having this experience. I am a woman whose job requires me to be on the computer eight hours a day. The last thing I want after work is to go online. Before Facebook took over my social circle, this wasn’t a problem. But now all my friends and family are on the site and pressuring me to do likewise. Gradually, Facebook contact seems to be replacing real, physical get-togethers. Things that used to be done in person or over the phone are now all done on Facebook, and we rarely get together anymore. If I don’t check Facebook, I am out of the loop. If I suggest getting together, everyone is “busy” – busy on Facebook, I guess. They aren’t mad at me or avoiding me, they just want contact on their terms. Am I the only one having this problem? –

Blondie

Old-School In Champaign, Illinois Dear Old-School: I’m sure

The Argyle Sweater

Real Life Adventures

you’re not the only one. The Internet is supposed to be a tool to facilitate communication, not a substitute for real, flesh-and-blood relationships. If you can’t work out a compromise with your friends and family – say, one in-person visit a month – you may have to cultivate some new relationships with other “old-school” people who also prefer face-to-face contact. Dear Abby: My father recently passed away. It was unexpected. He was my sunshine and my heart. I am devastated. Because of this, I am no longer sure I want to have a traditional wedding. It would be too sad to not share the day with Dad, as I had dreamed. My fiancé and I have discussed eloping, and it seems like the right idea. The trouble with eloping, however, is we’d want our

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips parents and siblings there as witnesses, and we’d like a party for friends and extended family after the nuptials. People are telling me that’s not eloping, and they have been looking forward to attending our wedding. In the midst of my grief, I’m not sure how to respond to their comments. What should I do? – Fatherless

Bride In Mississippi Dear Fatherless Bride: If you would prefer your nuptials to be a small, intimate affair, that’s what they should be. Have a reception later. Whether others were looking forward to attending your wedding is beside the point. If you are challenged for not wanting a big wedding, all you need to say is your plans changed when your father died. No one should be able to argue with that, because your feelings are understandable. Dear Abby: I have a neighbor who is always asking to borrow things. The items come back only if I go and collect them – from food items such as spices, to gasoline, cash and more. The situation is almost comical, like Simpson vs. Flanders. How can I make my stuff less available without outright saying no? – Flanders of

“Springfield,” Maine Dear Flanders: And what is

wrong with just saying no? When someone’s generosity is abused, that’s the most logical thing to do. And without being nasty, you should tell your neighbor the reason why. • Write Dear Abby at www.dearabby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.
