How would you change our communi-

Answers to that question are being sought by the Joliet Unity Movement, but from a specific demographic of Joliet residents – kids.

For the second year, the organization is holding an essay contest for area youth.

This year, students are being asked to write an essay on “How I Would Change Our Community.” Students from kindergarten through high school are asked to submit essays about changes that would positively affect their neighborhood, school and community.

Willie Ervins, a staff member with the Joliet Unity Movement, said the organization wants youth to be more actively involved in the change it is trying to bring to the community.

ideas. And we hope to implement those ideas.”

The Joliet Unity Movement is encouraging schools, community centers, churches and civic organizations to incorporate the essay contest into their classrooms, after-school programs and announcements.

Students should submit essays in an email attachment to jolietunitymovement@gmail.com. Or they can be sent by mail to Joliet Unity Movement; P.O. Box 372; Joliet, IL 60434-0372.

While the contest is aimed at area children, I am curious as to what our readers’ suggestions would be. I would love to receive some letters to the editor on that topic from those so inclined to share.

Thank you for reading The Herald-News.

Joliet Township Animal Control director speaks out on dog attacks

By BOB OKON

bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The director of the agency in charge of dog control in Joliet says a new ordinance in the works could give it more authority to pick up dangerous dogs.

But Sarah Gimbel said Joliet Township Animal Control has been getting wrongly blamed at recent Joliet City Council committee meetings focused on putting new teeth into the city’s dog control laws.

“I feel that the police and us work very well together, but others try to make it seem like we don’t work well together,” said Gimbel, director of Joliet Township Animal Control.

Animal Control has been the target of some criticism at the committee meetings in which city officials and residents have discussed the way the agency and Joliet police handle dog attacks.

Among the comments has been that Animal Control does not come out to the scene of a dog attack on nights or weekends.

WHERE IT’S AT

• Relevant information • Marketing Solutions • Community Advocates

“We want to let the youth, who are coming up, know that this is their world,” he said. “We have to give it back to them.”

Ervins said younger residents have a different perspective on what is going on in the world, and “they need to be heard.”

Last year’s essays were touching, Ervins said, as well as eye-opening. They ranged from a kid who didn’t want to be home alone because of the creepy guy next door to wanting a longer school day so they didn’t have to come home and be alone in an empty house.

“The kids really let you know what is going on, what is in their minds, what is in their hearts,” he said.

Last year about 60 essays were received, and this year organizers would like at least double that.

Essays are due March 25, and students will compete in four grade levels: kindergarten, elementary school, middle school and high school.

“There are no length requirements,” Ervins said. “It can be short and touching, or long and touching. We just want the

“We have an officer available 24 hours a day, seven days a week and 365 days a year,” Gimbel said.

But the agency does not always get called, as was the case of a dog attack on another dog Feb. 20, she said. The incident was a topic of discussion last week during a Land Use and Legislative Committee meeting, where Animal Control was criticized for not being on the scene and not attempting to impound the dog that attacked.

Gimbel said Animal Control was never called to the scene and learned of the attack from a police report faxed to the agency several hours after the incident. Once the attacking dog was back in the home of its owner, Gimbel said Animal Control could not take the animal.

“Keep in mind that animal is property,” Gimbel said. “If the owner doesn’t want to give that dog, I can’t take that dog.”

The intergovernmental agreement between the city and Animal Control addresses stray dogs. The city is in the process of rewriting the agreement and city

ordinance to give Animal Control authority to take vicious dogs from their owners.

“I would absolutely do what the city wants me to do,” Gimbel said. “If the ordinance states that we take the dog, we’ll take the dog.”

City Attorney Marty Shanahan said Joliet can write an ordinance that would enable dogs to be impounded in situations where attacks occur.

“The city has the right based on our home rule authority,” Shanahan said.

“But we’re just going to have to work out the logistics of it with the township.”

Both Gimbel and Shanahan have said the city and township are cooperating in the rewriting of the intergovernmental agreement and the city’s animal control ordinance.

Gimbel said both documents are outdated and need to be revised.

“When Marty came to me and said we need to tighten these ordinances up, I said thank you,” Gimbel said. “These ordinances are out of date.”

Resident group, Lincoln-Way District 210 at odds over North

By FELIX SARVER

fsarver@shawmedia.com NEW LENOX – Liz Sands sees Lincoln-Way North High School as a community lighthouse and she – along with a group of residents – is fighting the school board’s decision to shutter it or any other building to resolve a financial crisis.

Sands is the founder of Lincoln-Way Area Taxpayers Unite Inc., a resident group that formed last summer in the wake of the Lincoln-Way High School District 210 board’s decision to shut down North next fall to reduce multimillion-dollar deficits in its budget.

The decision spurred the resident group to study how District 210 arrived at its dire circumstances.

After examining its finances and trying to get the board to consider alternate deficit reduction ideas, LWATU and 25 other plaintiffs decided Dec. 29 to sue the board to prevent a school closure.

A Will County judge is set to hear Monday arguments from both parties on the motion filed by the attorneys for the district to dismiss the lawsuit.

“This is my hometown, my home community,” Sands said. “I grew up here. I have felt since then – and since learning everything – I have felt compelled to fix it.”

Liz Sands, of Lincoln-Way Area Taxpayers United, addresses a group of concerned residents during a Feb. 17 town hall meeting at the old Frankfort Township building in Frankfort.

The lawsuit case

Before LWATU filed the lawsuit, the group gathered donations in early November to hire legal counsel and educate the community on its cause, with a goal of collecting $20,000.

Under recommendations from their attorney, Stephen Eberhardt, the group has become a private corporation, according to state records, and are not disclosing its finances.

Sands said the money has gone toward the group’s town hall meetings and the website – www.lwatu.org – to educate people about the organization’s cause.

Eberhardt declined to answer questions about both measures, saying they are subjects for discussion only between him and his clients.

LWATU’s lawsuit alleges the board’s decision to close North – or any school – was arbitrary, capricious and unreasonable, and that board member Christopher Kosel was unqualified to vote on closing a school as he didn’t complete mandatory profes-

Sands said LWATU does not consist only of North parents.

She estimates the majority of people who support LWATU are connected to Summit Hill School District 161 – which feeds into North – and others are from Mokena School District 159.

The group has no membership list, she said.

“We are completely volunteer,” Chris Zimmerman, a LWATU supporter, said at a Feb. 17 town hall meeting. “The main thing is, we don’t give up. ... If we don’t keep some pressure on the administration, things will just kind of continue down this wrong course and really harm our schools further.”

While many commute outside Will, Grundy for work, more work locally

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com

PLAINFIELD – Before moving last year to Plainfield with her husband, 29-year-old Lauren Nielsen had a 10-minute walk to her job in Wheaton as a middle school art teacher.

Today, her commute from Will County to neighboring DuPage County averages about 40 minutes – give or take – or an hour if traffic’s really bad, she said.

Nielsen – like many Will County residents who commute outside the county to work every day – scrambles to get out the door each morning to account for potential traffic troubles.

“I’m not a morning person at all. It doesn’t matter how many mornings I do it. Even in Wheaton, when I had a short walk to school, I would be running late. I’m actually more on time now because I have to allow for extra time,” Nielsen said.

Nielsen is among the 68.9 percent of workers age 16 or older who live in Will County but commute to work outside the county, including those who work out of state, according to Will County Workforce Investment Board data, which is compiled using U.S. Census Bureau figures.

Traffic slows to a crawl Oct. 20, 2014, on Weber Road at the Interstate 55 interchange in Romeoville. About 68.9 percent of workers age 16 or older who live in Will County commute to work outside the county, according to Will County Workforce Investment Board data.

Shaw Media file photo

Of those who commute elsewhere, the majority go to Cook County for work, said Pat Fera, manager for the Workforce Investment Board. DuPage County is the second most common destination.

‘We’re not shooting for zero’

As Fera sees it, the good news is the number of people commuting outside Will County for work has decreased, albeit slightly. Just over 70 percent of

Will residents commuted outside the county on average in 2010.

“This is good. Our goal is get residents to stay here to work,” Fera said.

Nonprofit starts shared-service model with child care centers

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS

lleonecross@shawmedia.com

JOLIET – In an effort to reduce costs and allow child care providers to redirect resources into the classroom, the Joliet-based Child Care Resource & Referral is launching a shared-services model with a handful of day care centers in Will and Kendall counties.

The initiative – the first of its kind in Illinois – is made possible by a $145,000 two-year grant from the Grand Victoria Foundation, said Chris Bzdon, Child Care Resource & Referral executive director.

The Joliet-based agency – founded in 1991 – promotes and facilitates affordable quality child care through assistance, education and advocacy in Will, Grundy, Kendall and Kankakee counties.

The new alliance comes at a critical time due to fiscal uncertainty at the

state level.

The innovative model should aid day care centers in keeping overhead and other costs down, Bzdon said.

Day care center directors often wear many hats, Bzdon said, while struggling to fill key positions, such as mental health specialists, nurses and teachers.

“These center directors are sometimes the cook, the teacher, the driver,” she said.

With this new alliance, the Joliet nonprofit will soon serve as the coordinating agency for day care centers that participate in the program, allowing them to share a wide range of services – food, supplies and professional services included – to cut costs while shifting more dollars into the classroom.

“We hope if they can save in one area, they can invest in another,”

1st D.A.R.E. officer training ends in graduation

By VIKAAS SHANKER

vshanker@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – Shorewood D.A.R.E. officer Kim Giugler told a group of 25 police officers from around the state Friday morning that the goal of speaking with children about making good life decisions wasn’t to make the officers the center of attention.

“You need to be below the surface, making sure it’s the kids who shine,” Giugler said at Plainfield police headquarters, which held the first Illinois D.A.R.E. officer training in more than 10 years.

That was a big lesson that will stick with Crest Hill officer Heidi Outlaw, who has been the D.A.R.E. officer for Richland and Chaney-Monge schools.

“We don’t want to be the voice in the room,” Outlaw said. “We’re there to guide and facilitate.”

On Friday, officers from departments throughout Illinois graduated from the two-week, 40-hour course, which is being revived as an annual event.

They learned how to administer lessons and reach out to children.

Shorewood D.A.R.E. officer Kim Giugler talks with other officers Friday at the Plainfield police headquarters building about responsibilities during the first Illinois D.A.R.E. officer training program in more than 10 years.

“Officers are usually trained to deal with adults,” said Dan Milloy, an educator for the D.A.R.E. training

course. “It’s kind of scary for them to talk with children.”

While the D.A.R.E. program has

traditionally been about drug abuse resistance education, as its name indicates, it has evolved to focus more on teaching children about making safe and responsible choices.

Now, Milloy said, D.A.R.E also stands for the decision-making process advocated by the program: define, assess, respond and evaluate.

Examples of lessons officers will be teaching children are who to call in an emergency, why it’s important to stay aware of surroundings, and topics such as bullying, peer pressure and helping others.

Milloy said the return of the D.A.R.E officer training program to Illinois means officers will be better equipped to make a difference in schools.

“In effect, it was a lost spark for Illinois training,” Milloy said, noting money issues likely led to the end of the state training program more than 10 years ago. “Now, this will be an annual thing.”

For Outlaw, it also was an opportunity to build new relationships.

“Before, I just had my family,” she said. “Now, I have 24 more brothers.”

Morris police chief set to retire, become new GAVC instructor

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Grundy Area Vocational Center’s Board of Control voted unanimously Thursday night to hire Brent Dite as a criminal justice instructor for the 2016-17 school year – a move Dite said will lead to him eventually stepping down from his role as police chief for the city of Morris.

Dite said he will begin his position at GAVC in August and will retire from the police department in September.

Dite has spent 28 years at the Morris Police Department, starting as a part-

time patrol officer and part-time dispatcher in 1988. He worked his way from patrol officer to being appointed as chief in 2007 by Morris Mayor Richard Kopczick.

Dite said he views Brent Dite the new job as an GAVC instructor as a career change, not early retirement.

“I’ve always had a passion for criminal justice,” Dite said before Thursday’s meeting. “The opportunity presented itself, and my wife and I sat and discussed career options. I think I have a lot to of-

fer the students from my experience in law enforcement.”

Dite, an alumnus of GAVC, said he is excited to have the opportunity to teach students of Grundy County and help those interested in the field see all the opportunities available to them in the field.

“There are a lot of positions in the criminal justice field that aren’t being a police officer. My connections I’ve made as chief have allowed me to acquire relationships within the community that can help students,” he said.

GAVC Director Lance Copes said

the center was looking for an instructor who was passionate and student-centered, and Dite is both.

“We’ve been lucky to have instructors with high levels of experience,” Copes said before the meeting. “The program focuses on criminal justice at many levels, including court, probation, department of corrections and police work.”

He said Dite brings knowledge of cutting-edge technology used in police work today, and is the perfect candidate for the job to show students how officers do their job in today’s technology driven world.

Shots fired after Joliet West basketball game No injuries reported, no immediate arrests made, according to District 204

By ANNA SCHIER

aschier@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Shots were fired Friday night in the Joliet West parking lot after a basketball game, according to a statement from Joliet Township High School District 204.

No one was injured during the incident at the school in the 400 block of Larkin Avenue, according to the statement sent Friday night, and no immediate arrests were made.

There were no immediate sus-

pects, Joliet Police Chief Brian Benton said about 10:15 p.m. Friday.

As of about 2 p.m. Saturday, the Joliet police had not made any arrests in connection with the incident, according to a second news release sent from the district Saturday.

The district, as an extra safety precaution, plans an increased police presence in and around the schools during dances scheduled for Saturday night, including in the parking lot as students arrive and

leave the dance.

“Please know that these extra precautions are in place for ease of mind and are not due to any specific elements of the police investigation,” the district said in the email sent Saturday.

The school district will work with the Joliet Police Department as the investigation continues.

JTHS asked parents to speak to their children to see if they have any pertinent information about the incident, or have any information

the school and police need to know while investigating the incident.

“The safety of our students, staff and community are always our first priority and we will continue to work with the Joliet Police department as they continue their investigation,” the district said in Saturday’s statement. “JTHS is committed to keeping the lines of communication open to our school community as the investigation continues and we will communicate any information that pertains to safety.

the pro shop at 485 N. Marley Road in New Lenox had been cut and called police.

Five drivers, three hybrid drivers, seven or eight wedges, and six or seven other clubs were stolen, along with 20 boxes, each containing a dozen golf balls, Pawlisz said.

No suspect information was available.

Prosecution rests in case of man charged in knife attack

By BRIAN STANLEY

testify Monday that Mr. Schlott’s use of bupropion was the contributing factor to this unfortunate incident,” Schlott’s attorney, Cosmo Tedone, said Friday.

Schlott and Hurschik had been living together in her West Side home for seven years before the March 12, 2009, incident.

Hurschik testified Thursday she wanted out of the relationship because Schlott’s “paranoia and ... [controlling] behavior” had increased since he lost his job in late 2008. She said Schlott would frequently search through her computer and phone, and visit or call her workplace to see if she was there.

bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Prosecutors rested their case Friday against a man charged with attempted murder for a 2009 knife attack in Joliet.

But defense attorneys say Bradley M. Schlott, 48, cut his then-girlfriend, Kimberly Hurschik, because he was affected by prescription med- Bradley ication he was taking M. Schlott to treat depression and anxiety.

“We will have a medical expert

Hurschik had just finished showering for work about 5:30 a.m. when Schlott came into the upstairs bathroom and started punching her in the face, according to trial testimony.

When she tried to run, he grabbed her by the hair, threw her to the ground and choked her, before slicing her throat and cutting the side of her breast with a hunting knife.

“He looked crazy,” Hurschik testified, but added under defense attorney Chuck Bretz’s cross-examination that she also would describe his expression as “angry.”

Schlott called 911 and reported the stabbing and the need for an ambu-

lance but hung up when the dispatcher asked for his name.

Hurschik then told Schlott to get rid of the knife and call 911 herself.

Hurschik said she’d arranged with a co-worker to fake emails and Facebook messages to make it seem she was having an affair when Schlott searched her computer so he’d break up with her, but she did not tell police until more than a year after his arrest.

On Thursday, Will County assistant state’s attorney Marie Griffin read to the jury letters Schlott allegedly wrote in a notebook Hurschik found in his office that indicated he planned a murder-suicide.

Christine Vanderbilt (center), owner of the Firehouse Subs franchise in Joliet, and daughter, Kayla, visit with Diana Anastazia of Palatine on Friday at the Louis Joliet Mall during the annual business expo held by the Joliet Region Chamber of Commerce & Industry.

By BOB OKON

bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The Joliet Region Chamber of Commerce & Industry business expo at the mall was an unexpected extra for Melissa Morris and her four children Friday.

“I’m celebrating my daughter’s second birthday,” said Morris while at the Louis Joliet Mall. “We were going to the jumpy houses. This is the perfect day.”

The Channahon mother was getting child identification cards for her children at the Joliet Police Department exhibit. It was one of a number of booths the family visited at the annual expo.

“I think it’s great,” she said. “It creates an awareness of what the community offers. And what better place to do it than the mall?”

The expo ran Friday and Saturday during business hours at the mall.

It was the 17th year the Chamber has held its annual expo at Louis Joliet Mall.

More than 80 exhibitors had booths.

The setting gives people such as Morris a chance to learn more about businesses, social agencies and nonprofits in the area. In turn, businesses and organizations get to introduce themselves to people they might not otherwise see.

“Some people come up and say, ‘Yeah, yeah, we know you.’ And others say, ‘We don’t even know where you are,’ ” said Christine Vanderbilt, owner of the Firehouse Subs franchise on Route 59.

The mall setting offered unique exposure to her business when Vanderbilt was setting up her booth about an hour before stores opened.

“We got here about a quarter after nine, and all the mall walkers were here,” she said. “They came by and asked questions. That was cool.”

Longtime businesses also found value being at the expo.

“It’s good to see new faces,” said Alissa Johnson, a veterinary nurse at Crest Hill Animal Hospital.

Johnson said she helped staff the booth at the expo last year, too, and was able to generate new clients talking with pet owners at the mall.

Students from several schools in Will County participated in the 2016 Boys Leadership Conference on Friday at the Jacob Henry Mansion in Joliet. The students came from almost 20 schools in Will County and wore black T-shirts that said “Seize The Day.” Ben Cascarano for Shaw Media

Glasgow.

Evans’ lesson on leadership to the students was that a good leader is honest, confident and self-sufficient.

Some people are great followers instead, which he said was fine.

He encouraged the students to be responsible for themselves, their education and the people they choose to socialize with.

He also stressed the importance of using their time wisely.

“You all need an agenda and it needs to be your own. … If you’re lazy now, you’ll pay later,” he said.

He said one day the students may stand before other students like him and inspire them.

“You’ll let them know where you start is not where you end,” he said.

JOLIET – R. Dale Evans Sr. gave a small group of students a quick lesson Friday in playing hand drum and percussion instruments in harmony.

The point of the lesson wasn’t to teach them music but how leadership works.

One by one, Evans showed the students – playing to an audience of their peers at the Jacob Henry Mansion – how to play their instrument until they worked together as a band.

“That’s what a leader does,” Evans told the crowd of students from across Will County. “You look at the talents and skills in your group and you match them up.”

Evans, who works for the Housing Authority of Joliet, was one of several speakers who came Friday to the Boys Leadership Conference at the mansion to inspire and educate students.

The students came from almost 20 schools in Will County and wore black T-shirts that said “Seize The Day.” The goal of the conference is to give a positive boost to students who are “in-between” academically and socially, said Shawn Walsh, regional superintendent of the Will County Regional Office of Education.

“It’s a great way for kids to hear some positive things,” he said.

Last year, the regional office held a Girls Leadership Conference in Joliet.

For Friday’s conference, Evans covered the leadership part of the program.

Other components of the program included preparing for college and careers after high school, health and fitness, and a keynote speech from Will County State’s Attorney James

A complete obituary and a scheduled memorial service will follow at a later date.

MARY A. OTTO-ROHRS Born: July 4, 1921 Died: Nov. 14, 2015

Mary Aileen Otto-Rohrs, passed away peacefully on Nov. 14, 2015, in Portland, Oregon, at the age of 94. Beloved mother, grandmother and great-grandmother.

Mary Aileen Adams was born on July 4, 1921, in North Platte, Nebraska, to George D. and Mary Ann Longfellow Adams. She lived her early life in Lemoyne, Nebraska, where her mother died in a tragic auto accident when Mary was 10 years old.

Mary remembered fondly how the community supported her and her father during those years.

Mary left home at 17 to begin work towards her nursing degree which was awarded from University of Nebraska School of Nursing in 1941. While working as a nurse, Mary met and subsequently married medical intern Claude W. Otto. During World War II, he served as a flight surgeon at several bases in the U.S. After the war, Mary and Claude moved to Frankfort, where Claude entered general practice. Over the next 40 years, Claude built Hedges Clinic into a multispecialty primary care practice serving the entire region and Mary and Claude raised their family of five children. Mary’s focus was her children and her community. She was an active member of the Frankfort Women’s Club and the Frankfort

Methodist Church. As her family grew up, she returned to her nursing career serving families in rural Will County as a Public Health Nurse.

Mary and Claude retired to Tucson, Arizona, and enjoyed involvement in the Sun City Vistoso community. Just short of their 50th anniversary in 1993, Claude died from cancer.

Mary continued to find enjoyment visiting her children and grandchildren around the country and through her friendships at Sun City. In 2002, Mary married Vernon O. Rohrs in Tucson. Vern passed away in 2004. Mary moved to Portland, Oregon, in 2012 to live with her daughter Martha and her husband.

There, Mary enjoyed frequent visits from her other four children and some of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Mary will be remembered as a beautiful woman of caring and grace.

Mary was preceded in death by her parents; her brother, Melvin H. Adams of Brule, Nebraska; and her husbands, Claude W. Otto and Vernon O. Rohrs.

She is survived by her children, Charles W. (wife Carol Todd) of Tucson, Arizona, Mary Ann (husband David Sasenick) of The Villages, Florida, Martha (husband Eugene Fuchs) of Portland, Oregon, Craig W. (wife Patricia Boone) of Dayton, Ohio, and Jennifer (husband James Gable) of Uniontown, Ohio; also 14 grandchildren; and 11 great-grandchildren.

A private celebration of her life will be held in Tucson and at the National Cemetery in Phoenix, Arizona, at a later date.

Iran deal splits 10th District Dem candidates

By SARA BURNETT

The Associated Press

LINCOLNSHIRE – After fueling months of fights in Washington, D.C., President Barack Obama’s nuclear deal with Iran is now popping up in an unusual place: a Democratic primary north of Chicago, splitting party leaders’ loyalties and making Republicans giddy about a potentially weakened opponent in one of 2016’s most competitive U.S. House races.

U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois, the minority whip who had the monumental job of securing Democratic support for Obama’s plan, is backing Highland Park Mayor Nancy Rotering over former U.S. Rep. Brad Schneider in the 10th Congressional district primary, largely because she expressed support for the pact and Schneider initially opposed it.

A one-time White House counsel and prominent Democrat who held the seat in the 1970s, Abner Mikva, also abandoned Schneider for Rotering, writing in an open letter that he was disappointed in Schneider for “opposing your president and your party.”

Schneider, who held the seat for one

term before losing to Republican U.S. Rep. Bob Dold in 2014, has endorsements from Democratic House Leader Nancy Pelosi, other current House members and the DemNancy ocratic Congressional Rotering Campaign Committee.

He also has a fundraising advantage.

But it’s unclear how much sway the Iran deal or big-name endorsements might have when voters go to the polls next month.

Brad Elliott Hartstein, a Schneider voter attending a recent primary debate, said the 10th is “a pretty independent-minded district,” and Durbin’s role in the deal isn’t lost on people.

“I wouldn’t say Brad is being punished,” said Hartstein, ex-mayor of Buffalo Grove who’s backing Schneider.

“I’d say Nancy’s being rewarded for basically supporting the president on the issue.”

before Schneider won it in the first election under new Democrat-drawn maps.

Dold’s campaign spent millions on TV ads that didn’t mention he was a Republican.

Schneider expects Democratic turnout this year will be better because there’s a presidential race, and believes the 2014 loss was the result of a unique circumstance: Dold’s district is home to Gov. Bruce Rauner, the GOP businessman who unseated an unpopular Democrat. (Since then, the state has been mired in a record budget impasse that’s hurt social services and higher education.)

Rotering counters she’s the strongest candidate not just to take on Dold, but also to hold on to the seat in 2018. She said she’s shown “courageous leadership” by passing an assault weapons ban that was upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court and ripped Schneider for having “stood with Republicans” on the Iran deal. She said the endorsements have given her campaign “strong momentum.”

The district has a large number of Jewish voters who may be more inclined toward Schneider because of his initial stance.

and five world powers aims to curb Iran’s nuclear program in exchange for billions in relief from economic sanctions. Dold has called the agreement “historically bad,” because, he said, it will endanger Israel and the United States.

Buffalo Grove resident Dan Wiczer said the Iran deal isn’t a big issue for him. After seeing Democrats lose in previous general elections, he said he’s more concerned about who will be strongest against Dold in November.

“I give him a lot of courage for wanting to get back in there,” Wiczer said of Schneider returning to the campaign trail after his loss to Dold. “Time will tell.”

Almost immediately after Durbin’s fundraising email endorsed Rotering earlier this month, the National Republican Congressional Committee pounced, saying Democrats would be forced to “waste precious resources.”

“Democrats’ worst fears about an expensive and bloody primary in IL-10 are coming true,” NRCC spokesman Zach Hunter said.

In 2014, the GOP spent close to $7 million nationally to win back the seat, which the party had held for decades

Passenger in Chicago taxi shot dead near U.S. Cellular Field

SPRINGFIELD – Gov. Bruce Rauner has issued an executive order he said will strengthen state ethics rules and make state workers “more accountable to taxpayers.”

The Republican said the order signed Friday includes changes made in collaboration with Illinois’ Office of the Executive Inspector General.

The order allows state agencies to conduct internal investigations of possible ethics violations while the state inspector general is investigating. Before Friday, agency investigations had to be put on hold once a case was referred to the inspector general.

Rauner said the change will ensure investigations are completed and violations addressed more quickly.

The order also requires Central Management Services, the state’s

Recent Illinois gun sales breaking monthly records

CHICAGO – Recent Illinois gun sales are breaking state records.

The Chicago Sun-Times reported Illinois State Police did 418,000 background checks on firearm purchasers in 2015 compared with 162,000 a decade earlier.

State background checks for December hit a record high for any month at 60,000. June, August and November also broke records.

The state’s single-day record was broken on Nov. 27, Black Friday, when background checks topped 5,000.

The actual number of guns sold could be higher, because some transactions involve multiple guns.

Gun sales in Illinois have increased steadily since 2013. One suburban retailer said women

represent the fastest-growing segment at his business.

Other retailers said recent mass shootings and the state’s concealed carry law are some reasons for the increase in purchases.

Federal investigators say gun sales have also increased nationally.

Bomb explodes on Pekin Bridge; no injuries or damage

PEKIN – Police in central Illinois said a bomb exploded on a bridge over the Illinois River that leads into downtown Pekin.

Police spokesman Mike Eeten said it caused no injuries or damage to the Pekin Bridge.

He said the device detonated Friday as a witness got close to it.

He said police are searching for two people suspected of planting the bomb on the west side of the bridge, across the river from downtown.

He told the Pekin Daily Times a bomb-sniffing dog did not find any other explosive devices. The FBI and the Illinois State Police were taking part in the investi-

gation.

Ex-McLean County deputy sentenced for union theft

BLOOMINGTON – A former McLean County deputy has been sentenced to four years in a state prison for stealing thousands of dollars from a police union.

The Bloomington Pantograph reported 38-year-old Jay Hobson was sentenced Friday. He has been ordered repay the union $160,000.

Hobson pleaded guilty in October to taking nearly $200,000 from union reserves from November 2011 to late July 2014. Hobson wrote more than 30 checks to himself during that period. He served as union treasurer.

The former police deputy resigned from his post when the theft was reported in August 2014. Hobson returned about $50,000 to the accounts before he was caught. Hobson said he has a gambling addiction.

State law enforcement said Hobson’s $10,000 loss at an Iowa casino caught their attention.

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton (right) is embraced by an audience member while posing for a photo Saturday at a campaign event at Miles College in Fairfield, Ala.

Clinton builds momentum with big win in South Carolina The ASSOCIATED PRESS COLUMBIA, S.C. – Hillary Clinton sailed to a commanding victory over Bernie Sanders in Saturday’s South Carolina primary, drawing overwhelming support from the state’s black Democrats and putting her in a strong position as the race barrels toward Super Tuesday’s crucial contests.

Clinton’s win provided an important boost for her campaign – and a moment to wipe away bitter memories of her loss to Barack Obama in South Carolina eight years ago. As she makes her second White House run, Clinton has warmly embraced Obama, who re- Bernie mains widely popular with Sanders Democrats and particularly African-Americans.

Eight in 10 black voters went for Clinton, according to early surveys from polling places.

Clinton’s victory came at the end of a day that saw Republican candidates firing insults at each other from Super Tuesday states. Donald Trump, working to build an insurmountable lead, was campaigning in Arkansas with former rival Chris Christie and calling Marco Rubio a “light little nothing;” Ted Cruz was asking parents in Atlanta if they would be pleased if their children spouted profanities like the brash billionaire, and Rubio was mocking Trump as a “con artist” with “the

worst spray tan in America.”

Sanders, expecting defeat on Saturday, left South Carolina even before voting finished and turned his attention to some of the states that vote in next Tuesday’s delegate-rich contests. He drew 10,000 people to a rally in Austin, a liberal bastion in conservative Texas, the biggest March 1 prize.

“On Super Tuesday the state that is going to be voting for the most delegates is the great state of Texas,” Sanders told the crowd at a Formula One racetrack. “If all of you come out to vote and you bring your friends and your neighbors and your co-workers, we are going to win here in Texas.”

While Sanders spent the end of the week outside of South Carolina, his campaign did invest heavily in the state. He had 200 paid staff on the ground and an aggressive television advertising campaign.

A self-described democratic socialist, Sanders has energized young people and liberals with his impassioned calls for breaking up Wall Street banks and making tuition free at public colleges and universities. But the senator from Vermont, a state where about 1 percent of the population is black, lacks Clinton’s deep ties to the African-American community.

Exit polls showed 6 in 10 voters in Saturday’s South Carolina primary were black.

About 7 in 10 said they wanted the next president to continue Obama’s policies, and only about 20 percent wanted a more liberal course of action, according to exit polls conducted by Edison Research for The Associated Press and TV networks.

Texas abortion law goes before Supreme Court The ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON – The Supreme Court challenge to a Texas law that has dramatically reduced the number of abortion clinics in the state is the justices’ most significant case on the hot-button issue in nearly a quarter-century.

One of this election-year term’s biggest cases is being argued Wednesday before a court altered by the death of Justice Antonin Scalia. He was perhaps the most vociferous abortion opponent among the nine justices.

The Texas law has been replicated across the South and elsewhere, part of a wave of state abortion restrictions in the past five years.

States mainly led by Republicans have tried to limit when in a pregnancy abortions may be performed, restricted abortion-inducing drugs that take the place of surgery and increased standards for clinics and the doctors who work in them.

The Supreme Court case involves that last category. A Texas law enacted in 2013 requires doctors who perform abortions to have admitting privileges at nearby hospitals. It also prohibits clinics from providing abortions unless they meet the standards of outpatient or ambulatory surgical centers.

The high court has partially blocked those measures. If allowed to take full

One of this election-year term’s biggest cases, one challenging Texas’ restrictive abortion law, is being argued Wednesday before a Supreme Court altered by the recent death of Justice Antonin Scalia. effect, all but 10 clinics in Texas would have to close. There would be no abortion providers in the state’s rural areas or west of San Antonio. The only clinic in the Rio Grande Valley would be allowed to remain open on a limited

basis. Before the law was passed, there were roughly 40 clinics in the state.

About half have closed.

The case offers competing views of how to protect women’s health. The clinics contend abortions are safer than many other medical procedures are less stringently regulated and that the clinic regulations have only one purpose: to reduce the availability of abortions.

“These laws are tantamount to an outright ban for too many,” said Amy Hagstrom Miller, chief executive of Whole Woman’s Health, which operates clinics in Texas and other states.

Defenders of the laws in Texas and elsewhere argue that states have discretion to take steps to make abortions safer. Alabama and other states backing Texas told the Supreme Court that states were within their rights to apply health regulations to clinics for the sake of patients.

“Obviously I’m pro-life and I would like to limit the number of abortions, but here we were looking at women’s health and safety,” said Republican Gov. Robert Bentley of Alabama, a doctor who signed his state’s admitting privileges law.

Texas Solicitor General Scott Keller, who will defend the law at the Supreme Court, said Texas acted in response to the high-profile case of Philadelphia abortion doctor Kermit Gosnell. He is

serving a life sentence after his conviction for killing three babies born alive and for the overdose death of a woman who was a clinic patient.

A federal judge in Texas struck down parts of the law as not intended to promote women’s health and clearly aimed at reducing access to abortion. But the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans largely accepted the state’s argument.

The justices’ June 2015 order putting the appellate ruling on hold at least suggests that there is a majority to cut back on the regulations. The clinics and abortion-rights groups are hoping for a ruling that might bolster challenges to other restrictions on abortion.

To prevail, they still need Justice Anthony Kennedy’s vote, along with the reasonably certain votes of four more liberal justices, just as they did before Scalia’s death. Kennedy was part of the 5-4 majority to reaffirm abortion rights in 1992, then wrote the court’s decision in 2007 that upheld a federal law banning a certain procedure that opponents call partial-birth abortion.

That was also a 5-4 split.

A broad high court ruling striking down the Texas provisions would show that the court’s 1992 decision still “has some teeth in it,” said Stephanie Toti, the lawyer who will argue the clinics’ case.

Puerto Rico braces for wave of mosquito-borne Zika virus The ASSOCIATED PRESS SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico – Leilani Dominicci has all the typical worries of pregnant women plus a new one spreading across Puerto Rico: the fear she will become infected with the Zika virus and put her baby at risk. Her unease has escalated so much that the 38-year-old attorney barely leaves her home in the capital of San Juan because of warnings that the island faces an onslaught of the mosquito-borne illness.

As the virus sweeps through the hemisphere, Puerto Rico has become America’s own front line in the battle against it – home to 3.5 million U.S. citizens and with a tropical landscape that is an ideal breeding ground for the mosquito that spreads Zika, as well as the dengue and chikungunya already common here.

Officials have barred local blood donations, ramped up efforts to eradicate the Aedes aegypti mosquito and are trying to monitor every pregnant woman on the island due to fears Zika might cause birth defects. The voluntary registry by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention extends to all

Zika-infected women and their babies throughout the United States.

The Puerto Rican governor, meanwhile, has declared a public health emergency, and the CDC, which earlier urged pregnant women to reconsider visits to Puerto Rico, has asked Congress for $250 million in emergency aid to battle Zika here. The CDC has also sent nearly 40 health workers to help, and is using the island as a test bed for Zika studies.

“For the U.S., it really is the territory that is going to have the most infections,” said Steve Waterman, head of the CDC’s dengue branch in Puerto Rico. “It has the best medical and public health infrastructure to try and answer some of these questions at the same time that we’re trying to control the disease.”

Among the CDC’s main goals is to test every pregnant woman in Puerto Rico for Zika and prevent people like Dominicci from contracting the virus.

The CDC is urging people to take preventive measures, a call that Dominicci and her husband heeded after the first Zika case was reported in December.

“We have locked ourselves up at home,” said Dominicci, who is nearly

37 weeks pregnant. “It’s a constant concern, especially for women like us who are so far along because our options are limited. Ending a pregnancy at this stage is not even legal.”

Zika causes headaches, fever and a rash, although most people with the virus never show symptoms. CDC researchers in Brazil and Puerto Rico are trying to determine whether the virus can cause microcephaly, a condition in which babies are born with abnormally small heads, and a rare paralyzing condition, Guillain-Barre, which can be fatal. At least 117 people have tested positive for Zika in Puerto Rico, including five pregnant women. At least five people have been hospitalized, including a man recovering from Guillain-Barre.

Waterman said more than 20 percent of the island population could contract Zika in an outbreak that could peak by summer.

“Our objective is to protect as many pregnant women as possible and that is what we are trying to do,” he said.

More than 80 percent of adults in Puerto Rico already have had dengue and an estimated 30 percent had chikungunya, viruses spread by the same in-

sect. But Zika poses a greater concern, said Dr. Brenda Rivera, the island’s epidemiologist.

“None of those diseases have the implication for future generations that this one does, at least that we think it does,” she said.

It’s a preoccupation shared by Yelitza Irizarry, a 39-year-old attorney who lost a baby in December and is undergoing fertility treatment. She wears pants and long-sleeved shirts, has shuttered the windows in her home and drenches herself in repellent every few hours.

Still, she can’t stop thinking about Zika and potential birth defects.

“It raises a thousand concerns,” she said.

CDC officials have set up a temporary lab to breed mosquitoes and determine if they are resistant to insecticides that Puerto Rico is using. The center also has trained lab workers in using a test created in Puerto Rico this year that can detect dengue, chikungunya and Zika all at once to cut costs and speed up the process. It’s launching a study to analyze how long Zika remains in semen, saliva and urine, and tracking birth defects and Guillain-Barre cases.

Legal argument summaries – LWATU complaint

• COMMUTE

the communities apart. At a Feb. 26 New Lenox community meeting on the school closure, some residents said there have been attacks on all sides of the issue.

At that meeting, Manhattan mayor James Doyle said there is a splinter group of residents who support North who have gone after board members’ families, their jobs and other people in the community.

Personal attacks is one of the reasons former school board President Kevin Molloy said led to his abrupt resignation in late January.

Molloy said he resigned because of the volume of district-related personal attacks, which caused concern with his employer, State Farm Insurance, regarding his involvement with Lincoln-Way, and a Daily Southtown article in which he called his critics “vile individuals” and “animals.”

Molloy has said he would not take one word back of what he said in the article, but he thought he did bring shame to his seat.

Doyle said LWATU were asked to distance themselves from the splinter group and not condone their behavior.

“We got to keep the community together,” he said. “We can’t let it split apart because Lincoln-Way has always been about being together.”

Sands said she doesn’t know of anyone who has been bullied or threatened by the group or its supporters. She said it’s not condoned and the group is focused on moving forward with all four schools open.

LWATU believes, based on its research, that keeping all four schools open is possible because the district is doing better financially than in the past, Sands said.

Lincoln-Way Superintendent Scott Tingley said while the district is doing better, he still anticipates a deficit in the budget and the district is still borrowing $25 million to get through fiscal 2016.

n Seeks declaration by court on the Lincoln-Way board’s decision to close North or any school as unlawful, arbitrary, capricious and unreasonable. n Alleges board member Christopher Kosel was not qualified to vote on closing a school. n Seeks preliminary injunction on the board’s decision to close a school and specifically North.

“We’re not shooting for zero. We know there are jobs residents will leave the county for.”

But could that mean Will County residents are simply moving away to be closer to work?

No, Fera said, noting how the county’s labor workforce has grown in the past several years.

“We’re never going to replicate the jobs found in Chicago’s financial district, in the heart of Chicago,” Fera said. “But it’s obvious that we are growing the variety of the job base significantly.”

Government remains the biggest industry sector in Will County, but two other leading industries – transportation and warehousing as well as retail trade – saw big gains in the last quarter of 2015, according to the Investment Board’s Economic Update report.

Although a much smaller industry, management of companies and enterprises saw the biggest gain – 8 percent – over that same time period.

Potential consequences

Tingley said if the lawsuit is successful, the board may have to consider investigating other potential cuts.

“The closure of any one of our schools will decrease our expenditures,” Tingley said.

The district has moved ahead as planned with its master schedule. Head coaches have been assigned and district officials are working on the placement of teachers, he said.

If the lawsuit is successful, Sands said she hopes it would open up lines of

Lincoln-Way’s motion to dismiss n Argues the decision is not reviewable by court as a matter of law and is wholly within the lawful discretion of the board. n Seeks dismissal of allegations that Kosel was not qualified to vote or that the school closure decision was unlawful, arbitrary, capricious and reasonable.

LWATU’S response to dismissal motion n Argues Lincoln-Way’s attorneys only focus on allegations that support their motion to dismiss. n Argues the board’s decision to close a school is subject to judicial review. n Argues two previous court cases provide a road map for the court to resolve the issues of the complaint.

Lincoln-Way’s response to LWATU’S response n Argues the plaintiffs allege a substantive due process violation not made in the original complaint. n Argues the plaintiffs continue to fail to demonstrate the board decision was arbitrary or capricious. n Argues the board and plaintiffs agree Lincoln-Way needed cost savings, but part ways on how to institute those savings. communication between LWATU supporters and the board.

The closing of North triggered a deep interest in Lincoln-Way’s finances for Sands and other residents.

Going forward, she said she would like a change in the culture of Lincoln-Way, with more financial transparency and accountability.

“The end game for me is [to] set up some sort of ecosystem in which this cannot happen again. Set up checks and balances so this cannot happen again,” she said.

Job creation

In neighboring Grundy County, about 75 percent of residents commute outside the county, mostly to Will County, for work, according to Grundy Economic Development Council data compiled using U.S. census figures.

About 61.4 percent of Grundy workers commute to the county from outside, while 32 percent of workers in Will County come from neighboring Grundy.

• CHILD CARE

Continued from page 4 Bzdon said. “With us trying to coordinate it all, hopefully we’ll be able to negotiate a better price. ... They could share services like snow plow removal, cooks, mental health specialists.”

The shared-services model will initially be launched in Will and Kendall counties, according to a Child Care Resource & Referral news release.

Nancy Fishman, executive director with the Grand Victoria Foundation, said in the news release it’s “more important than ever to test new ways to support and deliver high-quality services to children and families” as state budgets dwindle.

“We are inspired by the innovative leadership Child Care Resource & Referral is providing,” Fishman said.

Bzdon said the $145,000 grant comes on the heels of a previous $69,300 grant in 2013 from the Grand Victoria Foundation for research. Now, the nonprof-

Grundy County’s biggest employers are Morris Hospital, Exelon, D Construction, Trader Joe’s and Grainger.

Nancy Norton Ammer, executive director for the council, said the economic growth in the county in the past decade has led to more Grundy County residents finding jobs closer to home.

“We’re seeing a big cluster of job creation in the I-80 and I-55 corridor, where the three counties – Kendall, Will and Grundy – meet. So there’s a lot of movement,” Ammer said.

With a 40-minute trip one way, Nielsen, of Plainfield, certainly faces longer commute times than most.

The average one-way commute to work for people living in Will County is 33.5 minutes in 2014, compared to 34.3 minutes in 2005, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.

John Greuling, president and CEO for the Will County Center for Economic Development, said the slight rise in residents living and working in Will County is great for the local economy.

“We also have a fair amount of jobs that are filled by non-Will County residents,” Greuling said, noting the trend of inward and outward movement is naturally going to happen in a metropolitan area.

“One of our advantages to employers is that we have access to this huge labor pool that’s connected by transportation.”

As for Nielsen, while having a teaching job in Plainfield would certainly be easier, the long commute doesn’t bother her.

Simply put, she loves her job and the people she works with.

“It’s worth the drive,” she said.

“We hope if they can save in one area, they can invest in another. With us trying to coordinate it all, hopefully we’ll be able to negotiate a better price. ... They could share services like snow plow removal, cooks, mental health specialists.”

Child Care Resource & Referral executive director it is implementing the new program.

There are five interested day care centers in Will and Kendall counties, Bzdon said.

Child care centers in Will and Kendall counties will sign formal agreements to become alliance members within the coming months, she said.

BUSINESS BRIEF RE/MAX Northern Ill. network saw strong sales growth in ’15

CHICAGO – The RE/MAX Northern Illinois real estate network reports that the sales volume generated by its brokers increased sharply in 2015.

Total sales volume for the year was $8.6 billion, which translates to a 13 percent increase from the 2014 total.

The number of transactions closed

by RE/MAX agents last year also increased. The 2015 total topped 40,600, over 9 percent more than the prior year.

Merrion attributed the increase to the exceptional productivity of RE/ MAX brokers. In the RE/MAX Northern Illinois real estate network, the brokers averaged 18 closed transactions each in 2015, up from 17 in 2014.

In comparison, REAL Trends magazine reported that in 2014, residential brokers affiliated with other leading real estate brands closed an average of 7.8 transactions.

In making the announcement, Chief Justice Rita B. Garman said the positive results from the fouryear pilot project, which permitted news cameras in criminal courtrooms under certain circumstances, paved the way for the policy to be made permanent.

“At every level of the judicial system, we do the people’s work, and the people have an interest in observing how the judicial process functions,” Garman said in a news release. “We are pleased with the success of the pilot project and with the great cooperation we have received from the media. It is time to make EMC [extended media coverage] more widely available.”

That sounds like unqualified good news for proponents of courtroom transparency, which we have been for many years.

There are 41 counties in the state where, with permission of local judges, courtrooms were opened to extended media coverage during the four-year experimental stage. Chief judges that oversee courtrooms in the state’s 61 other counties did not apply for the Supreme Court’s pilot program.

We are heartened – and intend to hold him to his word – that Will County Chief Circuit Court Judge Richard Schoenstedt said last week that he “fully supports” the idea of permitting news cameras in courtrooms, but doesn’t see that happening here until the county builds a new courthouse, which is on track to be built by 2018. The current building, he said, lacks the necessary space and security, and does not meet Illinois Supreme Court minimum standards.

We encourage the 13th Judicial Circuit Court – which is based in Grundy County and also covers LaSalle and Bureau counties – to

AMENDMENT

allow cameras in courtrooms as soon as possible.

The Supreme Court will not force the nine non-participating judicial circuits (and their 61 total counties) to allow cameras in the courtroom.

That’s too bad. It is past time courts around our state were opened completely to the people they serve, as all Illinois residents deserve to see photos taken at trials in local courtrooms, or watch video from trials in local courtrooms.

Still, we applaud former Chief Justice Thomas Kilbride for having the courage to initiate the cameras-in-the-courtroom pilot project in January 2012. And we applaud judges in the judicial circuits that bought into Kilbride’s plan and gave it a fair “trial.”

For doubting judges, we refer them to the evidence.

More than 450 media requests for extended media coverage were made in the past four years. Courtrooms in participating counties saw multiple instances of still and video cameras and other electronic news recording devices used during hearings and trials.

Did cameras create a circus atmosphere, deprive defendants of fair trials, or otherwise disrupt the administration of justice? Not at all.

“There were no red flags in any of the instances,” said Bethany Krajelis, a spokeswoman for the Illinois Supreme Court.

We encourage judges in the non-participating circuits to re-evaluate their positions based on the evidence. In addition, as these judges face retention votes, and as new candidates for circuit judge go before the voters, we urge the public to make cameras in the courtroom an issue. Find out where judges and judicial candidates stand, and encourage them to embrace courtroom transparency.

Forty-one counties with cameras in the courtroom are better than none. But on behalf of the cause of complete courtroom transparency, let the privilege be extended to all 102 counties.

Temper is Trump’s Achilles’ heel A candidate who presents ideas from his or her best perspective represents campaigning at its ethical best. When two or more candidates do this, it allows voters to see issues from every angle – to witness how the ideas hold up under the clash of debate.

But for cynical politicians, telling voters what they want to hear, even if the politician thinks it’s nuts, is the way to win elections on the cheap.

Donald J. Trump takes this philosophy one step further. He doesn’t just tell supporters what they want to hear, he speaks their minds – especially their fears, their prejudices, their hostilities, their anger, even the profanity they use in barroom political conversations.

One of my readers put it well: “It occurs to me ... that it isn’t so much that Trump ‘speaks his mind,’ but that he speaks the mind of the dissatisfied voter. And what is to blame for voter dissatisfaction but the obstructionism in the current government?

“This Congress has the lowest approval rating of any previously. The current rise of Trump with his [middle-finger] attitude for everyone and everything is just how voters feel. The Republican Party has worked long and hard [to] block anything with Obama’s name on it. The result is that people are angry and frustrated.”

Few political analysts have put Trump’s strategy as succinctly, while many others have yet to uncover it. Yet,

VIEWS Donna Brazile here is the “secret” of Trump’s success: He has observed the growing frustration with gridlock in Washington that Republican leaders fostered, and he’s capitalizing on it by posturing as the ultimate “anti-establishment” candidate, even though he, himself, is a bona fide Wall Street establishment member.

There is ample evidence Trump has few convictions. There is live debate evidence that Trump has given no thought to developing policies. Instead, Trump presents plans by looking at what his target voters want, then concocting simple solutions. For instance, deporting 11 million anonymous immigrants and building a wall. And the Mexican government will pay for it.

Trump has never met a campaign position he didn’t embrace. He was for the Iraq War before he was against it. He was for abortion before he opposed it.

In the early debates, he called his opponents dumb, incompetent and even too ugly to be president. This week, he talked about how qualified, smart and dedicated they are – the very same ones.

Trump is now shedding some of his bad boy persona.

See BRAZILE, page 31

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.

enough to prevent him from collecting all the South Carolina delegates. Still, his predilection to lash out even when holding back would be more pragmatic is likely to resurface, and next time the results could be more damaging.

Trump has benefited by taking extreme positions that capture media obsession and that set the issues. Witness what he’s done on immigration. Absent Trump, we’d be debating deporting immigrants vs. immigration reform.

Instead, so far, the entire immigration debate centers around deporting families vs. not prohibiting immigrants to return – the latter position being Sen. Marco Rubio’s massive flip-flop, or rather, “political evolution.”

Just around the corner are 11 states

Continued from page 30 He’s shifting to the middle to capitalize on Democratic voter anger over Republican obstruction in Washington.

Never mind that they want Trump and his Wall Street partners to willingly give up government policies that corner most of the nation’s income wealth.

And never mind that those same policies have pushed millions of Americans out of the middle class into paycheck-to-paycheck poverty.

After placing fourth against Trump in South Carolina, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush suspended his presidential campaign. The Bush family is well-

liked, even loved, among Republicans.

Trump made a big mistake in attacking them. Still, Jeb did not grasp the depth of voter anger with Washington gridlock and those associated with it. Nor did he give the appearance of a robust, hungry candidate – a quality Trump exploited. Finally, as well-loved as the Bush family is, voters want (as Obama put it), “that new car smell.” Three Bushes was just one too many.

But a debate dust-up with Jeb revealed Trump’s Achilles’ heel. His knee-jerk reaction to go on the attack when he dislikes someone (which is quite often) caused him to kick Bush, who was clearly down. Trump’s numbers dipped in the aftermath of that debate performance, although not

IHSA DUAL TEAM WRESTLING STATE FINALS

Coal City falls to Dakota in 1A finals Lockport beats Providence to place 3rd in 3A

By CURT HERRON

cherron@shawmedia.com BLOOMINGTON – Members of Coal City’s wrestling program realized everything would have to go just right to knock off three-time defending champion Dakota in Saturday’s Class 1A championship meet at U.S. Cellular Coliseum.

While coach Mark Masters’ Coalers got off to a fast start, the Indians showed why they have become so difficult to dislodge at the the top of the state’s smallest class.

Coal City took an 18-15 lead with six matches left, but Dakota responded with four straight wins before forfeit-

“They’re the king of the hill, and they’re going to be that way until someone knocks them off, and we were hoping that it would be us,” Masters said. “We won the flip, and that was a key. We thought if we won that, we had about a 25 percent chance to win.

There were five swing matches, and we won three of the five and we had to win all of them. We were really good, but we had to be perfect and we weren’t perfect.

“They had some real hammers right through the middle, and they can move their lineup around a little more than we could. And they had a little more flexibility where they could weigh guys in at and get matchups. You have to have some talent, and this year we Lockport’s Abdullah Assaf flips Prospect’s Miguel Romero during Saturday’s IHSA dual were able to spread our talent out from 106 all the way to heavyweight, team state finals at the U.S. Cellular Coliseum in Bloomington. and in the past we weren’t able to do ing at the final two weights to capture while coach Keith Healy’s Celtics picked that.

let anyone down so he put his shoes on and said, ‘I’m wrestling,’ and that may have been his best match all year. For a 15-year-old kid to be able to do that for his team says a lot.”

Celtics’ Jake Lindsey edged Anthony Molton, 5-4, in the opener at 106, but the Porters took a 6-3 lead when Matt Ramos pinned Jim Cannon in 1:49. The Celtics moved back in front, 7-6, after Josh Ramos picked up a 12-4 triumph over Garrett Golob at 120.

The Celtics (16-8) went up 10-6 after Ben Emery beat Brandon Ramos, 5-0, at 126 and then added to that lead after Juan Bazaldua claimed a 4-1 win over Abdullah Assaf at 132. Lockport narrowed the gap back to 13-12 when Baylor Fernandes recorded a fall in 2:56 over Dominick Ambrose at 138.

The Porters (24-5) followed with three more wins as Zach Reese got a fall in 3:40 over Josh Lambert at 145, Shayne Oster pinned Mason Heimlich in 1:41 at 152 and Trevell Timmons beat Cole Smith 7-1 at 160 to give Lockport a 26-13 cushion with five matches left.

Chandler Proszek beat Antonio Tuminello, 12-4, at 170 and Payton Fernandes followed with a pin in 1:58 over John Nowak to stretch Lockport’s lead to 36-13.

The final three matches ended in falls with Providence’s Logan Anderson pinning Yousif Salah in 2:23 at 195, Dominic Ferraro getting a pin in 4:00 against Dan Stojsavljevic and Lockport’s Ronald Tucker winning by fall in 3:52 over Tom Younker in the finale.

“If someone had said earlier this season that we were in the hunt for a state trophy, I wouldn’t have been too sure,” Healy said. “But as the season went on, the kids really stepped up and got better.

They listened to what we were saying and did a lot of things that we’ve been working on in practice. When we won at the Geneseo Invite is when I realized that this team was going to be pretty special and have a real good opportunity.

“We knew that we were going to have to battle in the regional, and the guys really did and they stepped up and then they did a great job at the sectional du-

als. It’s just been an enjoyable year to see these younger kids grow, because that’s all that we were really looking for them to do. There’s no doubt that this freshman and sophomore group has a good future, and hopefully we can bring in a few more kids like them.”

In the semifinals, Lockport dropped a 49-20 decision to eventual champion Oak Park and River Forest. Assaf won by fall, Baylor Fernandes claimed a major decision, Reese picked up a forfeit win and Oster recorded a major decision to force the brief tie.

Also in that same round, Providence lost, 49-17, to Marmion, which fell, 33-24, to Oak Park-River Forest in the championship meet.

Lindsey, Alex Wojciechowski, Emery and Anderson won decisions while Smith received a forfeit win.

The Porters assured themselves of their second trophy in the sport after a 32-24 quarterfinal win over Prospect.

Lockport received pins from Tucker and Oster, Molton and Brandon Ramos won major decisions and Matt Ramos, Assaf, Baylor Fernandes and Timmons won decisions with Matt Ramos’ being by one points and Timmons’ by two.

Providence guaranteed itself of another trophy when it claimed a 41-25 quarterfinal victory over Grant. Smith, Nowak, Ferraro and Younker recorded falls, Lindsey and Emery won major decisions, and Ramos picked up a twopoint decision.

• Sunday, February 28, 2016

In the opener at 106, Alex Friddle claimed a 4-0 victory over Caleb Alber before Joey Rivera received a forfeit win at 113. Then at 120, Jake Hiles rallied late to claim a 4-3 win over Alex Porter.

Dakota got its first victory at 126 when Alec Henze received a forfeit and Colt Oakes beat Ryan Wasielewski, 8-4, at 132. But TJ Jezik followed with a 4-1 win over Jacob Blocker at 138 to put the Coalers up by a 15-9 score.

After Greg Krulas tied it at 15 with a fall in 5:50 over Max Rowell at 145, Coal City took its final lead when Danny Norton nipped Clint Oakes, 7-6, at 152.

That’s when Dakota started its decisive run of four straight wins. Jared Packer captured a 12-3 win over Jonah Englert at 160 and Cade Slayton won 10-8 over Bryan Stopka. After Nate Olsen got a pin in 1:05 over Dalton Wallace at 182, Andrew Wenger completed the run with a 7-1 victory over Alec Leasure.

Brock Crawford and Riley Kauzlaric received forfeits in the last two matches, but the Indians already had sealed up the victory by that point.

This marks the first time Coal City has won back-to-back trophies at state.

After placing third a year ago, it improved a spot to equal the program’s best finish, which came in 1984, 1995 and 1998.

In its quarterfinal, Coal City rolled to a 75-4 win over Walther Christian. Then it picked up a 39-25 victory over Murphysboro in the semifinals. Kauzlaric, Crawford, Friddle, Rivera, Hunter Carlson, Jezik, Rowell, Norton, Stopka and Leasure all recorded falls in the first meet, while Englert won by technical fall.

In the semifinals, the Coalers got pins from Friddle, Rivera, Hiles, Stopka and Leasure while Crawford, Jezik and Rowell all won decisions to help their team advance to the title meet for the first time since 1998.

In the showdown between the Porters and Celtics, Providence grabbed the lead after winning four of the first five matches, but Lockport stormed back to claim the next six victories to finish one spot better than it did a year ago.

“We graduated seven guys from last year, but we knew what we had in the room and what we had coming in freshman-wise, so we thought that we’d might be right back in it,” Josh Oster said. “But you just don’t know how somebody is going to wrestle a full varsity season until they do it, so it was a good end to a weird, injury-filled season.

We didn’t wrestle any dual meets this year with our regional lineup, and that included today.

“But as we tell the kids all of the time, everyone has to be ready to be counted on when it needs to happen. Baylor didn’t think that he could wrestle in our last meet, but he didn’t want to let anyone down. We told him that he wouldn’t

36 CHICAGOLAND COLLEGIATE ATHLETIC CONFERENCE MEN’S BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT: ROBERT MORRIS 99, ST. FRANCIS 87

No. 1 St. Francis falls in CCAC semifinal

By DICK GOSS

dgoss@shawmediacom JOLIET – With 4:31 left in the first half, Jo Jo Ballestero made two free throws after a Robert Morris technical foul to extend the St. Francis lead to 42-26.

With 4:58 left in the Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference semifinal Saturday afternoon at the Sullivan Center, Corey McCrary’s layup lengthened Robert Morris’ lead to 8867.

Yes, the Eagles outscored USF, the No. 1-ranked team in NAIA Division II, 62-25 over that span of less than 20 minutes en route to a 99-87 victory That means Robert Morris (23-9) will entertain Indiana-South Bend – which stunned Saint Xavier, 71-69 – in Tuesday’s CCAC title game. The winner will go to the national tournament, the loser perhaps not.

That is unlike St. Francis (28-3), which already advanced to the tournament, which begins March 9, when it claimed the CCAC South Division regular-season title.

As much as coach Ryan Marks said his team would have liked to win the conference tournament, the Saints know there is a bigger prize out there.

“I think for us, we want to be playing our best basketball as we go to the national tournament,” Mark said.

“Our desire to win the conference tournament stemmed from that.

“Emotionally, we have played a lot of games with significance in the standings. It is possible we could have gotten emotionally fatigued.”

USF entered Saturday having won 14 straight games, 19 consecutive home games and 31 of its past 32 at the Sullivan Center.

On this occasion, however, the Saints ran into a Robert Morris team playing on a mission.

“I don’t think our being ranked No. 1 had anything to do with this game,” said USF senior center Jens Kennedy, who led all scorers with 29 points. “We were ranked No. 1 the last game, too (a CCAC quarterfinal victory over St. Ambrose).

“Robert Morris has been consistent all year and they played great tonight.

Give them credit. They came in here with a chip on their shoulder, trying to get into the national tournament.”

Kennedy was 7 of 7 from the field and had 15 points in the game’s first 14 minutes. He was among the keys as the Saints, after trailing 20-19, went on a 23-6 run to grab their 42-26 lead.

However, Robert Morris finished the half on a 14-2 run to get within 44-40 at the break. The Saints’ last lead was

University of St. Francis’s Ilya Ilyayev shoots a 3-pointer over Robert Morris’ Darius Randolph during the Saints’ 99-87 loss Saturday in the Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference semifinal at Sullivan Center in Joliet.

51-49, and they still were within 62-59 when Ballestero swished a 3-pointer.

But that’s when the roof caved in.

The hot-shooting Eagles went on a 23-5 run to put the game away. They shot 62.2 percent in the second half, including 8 of 15 from 3-point range.

“They were in a good flow offensively,” Marks said. “We tried to change things up defensively in the second half, but it didn’t matter if we were in man or zone.”

There were other telling statistics as well. For instance, USF committed 19 turnovers to Robert Morris’ seven.

The Eagles had 20 offensive rebounds to the Saints’ 12, and the difference in

that category was 13-2 in the first half alone.

“Robert Morris was playing with energy and resiliency,” Marks said.

“They were doing things defensively that made us uncomfortable.

“They played some man, some zone and some press. Those are things we have seen all year, of course, but they timed what they did when in such a way that they got us disjointed.”

Kennedy scored his 29 points on 13 of 18 shooting and grabbed nine rebounds, six on the offensive end. He also blocked three shots.

Ilya Ilyayev scored 21 and had eight boards. Jean Pietrzak chipped

in 13 points, Ballestero eight and Jake Raspopovich distributed 10 assists.

Terrelle Green led Robert Morris with 26 points and McCrary chipped in 21.

The Saints shot .492 from the field to the Eagles’ .494 and made 16 of 17 free throws. But USF had 18 fewer field-goal attempts.

“They shot well, and they didn’t hang their heads when things didn’t go their way,” Kennedy said. “We didn’t take care of the ball well. We talked about that and rebounding at halftime. We rebounded better in the second half but still didn’t take care of the ball.”

BOYS BASKETBALL: JOLIET WEST 72, JOLIET CENTRAL 63

Bell, Kirk propel Joliet West past Central

By DICK GOSS

dgoss@shawmedia.com JOLIET – When Trevian Bell and Teyvion Kirk get off to strong starts, the Joliet West boys basketball team is difficult to beat.

That was the case Friday night in the West fieldhouse as the Tigers jumped to a 23-7 lead en route to a 72-63 victory over Joliet Central in the SouthWest Suburban Blue and regular-season finale.

Up next is Class 4A regional competition. The Tigers (17-9, 8-6), the No. 3 seed in the Lockport Sectional, will be at the Neuqua Valley Regional while the Steelmen (14-12, 8-6) will compete in the Lincoln-Way Central Regional.

“Playing here against these guys, with them playing like they have been lately, you can’t let a first quarter like this happen,” Central coach Jeff Corcoran said. “You can’t give them what we gave them on the glass, either. They converted their [second and third] chances. We got them, too, but didn’t convert.”

Bell hit his first five shots over the first quarter and a half. Four were from 15 feet or farther, and two were 3-pointers. Kirk was disruptive defensively and scored nine points over that same

span, including a dunk that electrified the crowd.

“We’ve been trying to come out hard, go up early,” Kirk said. “Then when they went on their runs, we knew we couldn’t get complacent.”

“When you get a cushion like that and have kids, they tend to feel more relaxed,” West coach Nick DiForti said.

“It always helps to get a lead right off the bat. It propels us for the rest of the game.”

After West opened its 23-7 lead, Malik Fuller fueled a Steelmen rally. He scored five points, crashed the boards with abandon and had an assist during a 10-0 run that sliced the difference to 23-17.

Bell and Kirk responded, however, as Bell hit from 15 feet and a long 3-pointer around a Kirk dunk after a Central turnover. Just like that, the Tigers were back on top, 30-18, with 3:32 left before halftime.

“Trevian went out and hit some shots early,” DiForti said. “He has really played well lately. He has matured as a player. He has added some post moves.”

What about shooting in the fieldhouse, where West connected on 10 of 12 in the first quarter and finished at 48.1 percent on 26 of 54?

“It’s definitely different in the fieldhouse,” Bell said. “But before the game, I couldn’t miss, and it transferred over to the game. I’m glad I was able to go out and do what I did.”

West led, 36-25, at halftime, and behind strong offensive rebounding went up 46-29 and then 51-31 in the third quarter. Central got it down to an eight-point difference twice in the fourth quarter, but each time missed inside shots that could have trimmed it further.

Bell finished with 20 points on 7 of 13 shooting and 8 of 9 free throws, and he grabbed 10 rebounds. Central outrebounded West, 16-10, in the first half, but the Tigers finished with a 3629 edge.

“It just kind of worked out that way that we got all those offensive rebounds in the second half,” Bell said. “We got good effort from everybody down low.

Usually, rebounds decide games.”

“We made it a point at halftime to get more people to the offensive boards,” DiForti said. “Our guards were leaking back, and Central wasn’t pushing the tempo that much, not as much as our guards thought they would. When our guards quit leaking back, they helped our rebounding.”

Prime examples were Eddie Cre-

al and Mike Smith, who came off the bench in the second half and combined for six offensive boards.

Fuller was his usual presence inside for Central. He put up 20 points, 13 in the second half, and snagged 13 rebounds, nine after the break.

“I like battling with Fuller,” Bell said. “He is a load. It gets me tougher to play against him.”

Kirk chipped in 16 points for the Tigers. Jason Bingham had seven and Elijah Ward, Tabyous Casterberry and Creal contributed six. Kirk and Casterberry each grabbed six rebounds.

“We pretty much held Bell and Kirk in check the first time [a 58-51 West victory Jan. 29], and other guys beat us,” Corcoran said. “This time, they got what they wanted out of their main guys.”

Jose Grubbs chipped in 16 points for Central. Treveon Ward added 10, Marcellus Hornsby nine and Jaylen Walker six on two 3-pointers late in the third quarter that got the Steelmen back within 54-44.

“Fuller and Grubbs played well, and Jaylen Walker gave us a nice jolt off the bench,” Corcoran said. “Marcy [Hornsby] got in a good flow, too. It’s been since Christmas since we had that. He has been battling a hand injury.”

CLASS 2A REED-CUSTER BOYS BASKETBALL REGIONAL: REED-CUSTER 52, SENECA 47

By CURT HERRON

cherron@shawmedia.com

Bob Curran

Lincoln-Way Central boys basketball coach

a great team and Brian (Flaherty) does a great job and his kids play hard, so we knew that we were going to be in a dogfight. I think our kids understand that now it’s one game at a time and you can’t look ahead of any opponent because we’re not good enough and the teams that we’re playing are good enough to beat us.”

West (16-9, 8-6) grabbed a 14-10 lead after the first quarter, but Central (17-8, 8-6) moved in front in the second period and took a 24-20 advantage into the break. Jarret Gmazel sparked the hosts

by hitting three 3-pointers to give him nine of his 11 points at halftime.

Things were tight throughout most of the third quarter, with the Knights holding a 35-34 lead going into the final eight minutes. West claimed its only second-half lead with 6:21 left when Jonathon Marotta (10 points, nine rebounds) hit two free throws to make it 38-37.

Central used a 9-0 spurt to move in front for good at 46-38 with 3:22 remaining. Aaron Michalak started things with a 3-pointer before Isaiah Malone (18 points, six rebounds) hit a jumper and a layup and then Mikey Koszela (nine points, six rebounds) capped the run by making a layup to give the hosts their biggest lead of the contest.

The Knights owned a 31-21 rebounding advantage with Isaac Panfil and Mitch Kwasigroch leading with seven boards apiece. Although Central was only 6 of 13 from the free-throw line in the fourth quarter, its control on the boards kept things from slipping away.

“It was great to get this win,” Malone said. “We had back-to-back losses but came together as a team. Coach got us ready in practice, we all worked on the game plan and everyone came here and executed and played hard. Mikey and Mitch got on the glass and got put-backs or tipped it out, which was just how we planned it.

“After getting a good win like this, we have confidence going into regionals

and we’ll play hard. Coach tells us that we haven’t had a game where everyone has come together and played a great game. So once we get that good game out of everybody, where we’re all doing the little things right, it will be real tough to beat us.”

West also received 10 points from Marco Pettinato, although half of his scoring came during the final minute.

Other Warriors leaders were Cameron Gavin (eight points), Cal Pohrte (seven points), Jay Bumstead (six points) and Nolan Green (six points).

“They have a ton of size, they’re huge, the biggest team in our league,” West coach Brian Flaherty said. “If we’re not the smallest, we’re one of them. So we talked to the kids about how they have guys who can shoot and drive and good bigs around the basket.

We had to make sure that when they had contested shots that we defensively rebounded the basketball and that was the part that we didn’t do.

“We forced them to take shots that we wanted them to but they just outworked us to get the basketball or outworked us around the basket. We’re too small to beat a team of that size if we’re not doing a great job rebounding. We definitely have a little bit of confidence now. But this is a different situation because records don’t really matter at this point. It’s do or die and survive and advance. Hopefully that sets in a little bit with the kids.”

CLASS 2A REED-CUSTER BOYS BASKETBALL REGIONAL: REED-CUSTER 73, EL PASO-GRIDLEY 63

Reed-Custer beats El Paso-Gridley for 3rd straight regional title

By DRAKE SKLEBA

Shaw Media Correspondent BRAIDWOOD – After shooting a sinful 3 for 32 from 3-point range Thursday in a five-point Class 2A Reed Custer Regional semifinal win over Seneca, Reed-Custer, although belatedly, redeemed itself Friday night in the regional final.

Led by Travis Schoonover’s 29 points, 15 in the fourth quarter, the Comets (25-3) scored a 73-63 victory over El Paso-Gridley (19-10).

After misfiring on all six of his 3-point attempts against Seneca and missing his first six shots from beyond the arc against El Paso-Gridley, Schoonover’s first 3-pointer tied the score at 48-48 with two minutes left in the third quarter.

A Schoonover layup gave the Comets a 50-48 lead they would not relinquish. Brent Headrick’s fourth steal of the game preceded Schoonover’s sec-

ond 3-pointer for a 53-48 Comet lead.

Schoonover’s fifth steal and layup made it 55-48 with 6:46 left. El-Paso-Gridley’s Andy Layden (18 points) hit his third 3-pointer, only to have Headrick answer with his third 3 for a 58-51 lead with 5:30 left.

After El Paso-Gridley’s Joe Metz (21 points, 10 rebounds) scored, ReedCuster’s Tommy Shaw connected from downtown for a 61-53 lead with 4:30 left.

Schoonover’s third 3-pointer was overshadowed by six points from El Paso-Gridley’s Tucker Schlipf (16 points), whose 3 brought the Titans within 64-59 with 3:01 left.

Schoonover’s sixth steal and bucket increased the Comets’ lead to 66-59, and his 25-footer gave the Comets a 69-59 lead, securing the Comets’ their third consecutive 2A regional title.

“I was really struggling again with my 3s tonight,” Schoonover said. “My first 3-pointer that tied the game at the

end of the third quarter really gave me confidence. We all played really hard in the fourth quarter to win our third consecutive regional championship.”

The Interstate Eight Conference and tournament champion Comets, led

by Headrick (21 points, 10 rebounds, four steals), jumped to a 19-11 lead after one quarter.

Metz and Layden each scored eight points in the second quarter to pull the Titans within 33-31. Headrick, who nailed his first two 3-pointers in the first quarter, led the Comets with 16 in the half. Metz had 14 for the Titans.

“After last night, it really felt good to hit my first two 3-pointers to get us going,” Headrick said. “I am proud of how well we played in the fourth quarter. We found Travis, and we all finally hit our shots. It is a great accomplishment for us to win the third consecutive regional championship for the school.”

In a third quarter, which featured

three ties and eight lead changes, AJ Simonelli (seven points, four rebounds) had a pair of huge baskets.

Neil O’Donnell (four points, two rebounds) and Russ Page (five points, including a 3-pointer), also added big baskets in the wild third quarter.

“I am so proud of our seniors, ReedCuster coach Mark Porter said. “They played so well in the fourth quarter to win our third consecutive regional title. Travis [Schoonover] showed everyone why he is a Class 2A all-state player. Brent [Headrick] had a great game and got us off on the right foot in the first quarter. He is truly one of our leaders.”

The Comets will meet Metro Suburban East champion Chicago Christian (22-6) in a Class 2A Clifton Central Sectional semifinal at 7 p.m. Tuesday.

The Knights defeated their conference rival, Illiana Christian (21-7), 5948, for the Illiana Christian Regional title.

• Sunday, February 28, 2016

NEW LENOX – After dropping their past two games, the members of Lincoln-Way Central’s boys basketball team knew the importance of getting back on the right track as it prepared to try to capture their own Class 4A regional title.

But in order for the Knights to do that, they’d have to stop rival Lincoln-Way West, which entered Friday’s SouthWest Suburban Conference Red clash with a six-game win streak as it too geared up to make a title run in its own Class 3A regional.

And although it meant having to beat their rivals for the third time this season, the Knights led throughout nearly all of the final half before capturing a 52-47 victory over the Warriors on senior night in front of a packed house at Central’s cozy gym.

“We put so much emphasis on the Thornton game for the seeding meeting and I think that once we won that game, our kids kind of knew that we had our seed in place and we definitely had a mental letdown,” Knights coach Bob Curran said. “We didn’t play bad at Bradley on Tuesday, but it was important tonight to get back on the winning track.

“I want to thank everyone for coming out to this game since it definitely was a six-man advantage for us. West is

40 BOYS BASKETBALL: JOLIET CATHOLIC 63, RIDGEWOOD 51

Mander scores 21 points as JCA rolls

By MIKE FITZGERALD

Shaw Media Correspondent NORRIDGE – The Joliet Catholic boys basketball team brushed aside Ridgewood, 63-51, Friday in a nonconference game that closed out the regular season for the Hilltoppers.

The game was not as close as the score would indicate because of the efforts of forward Luke Mander (21 points) and East Suburban Catholic Conference Player of the Year Jalen Jackson (20 points). JCA (21-5) led the Rebels (14-12) by double digits from the midway point of the second quarter until the final horn.

“I was feeling it,” Mander said. “My teammates did a good job of getting me the ball, and I just went from there.”

Mander made 5 of 6 field goals and shot 11 of 16 from the foul line. He also

had six rebounds.

Hilltoppers coach Joe Gura was not completely satisfied with the win, however.

“You want to play well, but we limited what we did because we didn’t want to show them [the Providence coaches in attendance] a lot,” Gura said. “I thought our kids played with a lot of energy. I thought we played really good defense at times.

“I thought offensively we did what we wanted to do. We took the ball to the basket. It wasn’t one of our better games, but I think that’s good because we are going to need to play a really good game on Tuesday.”

Providence plays Tinley Park at 7 p.m. Monday in the Class 3A Lincoln-Way West Regional. The winner meets JCA at 6 p.m. Tuesday in the semifinals.

“After playing an unbelievably tough game on Wednesday [a 56-50 overtime win over St. Patrick] and knowing we are probably going to play one of our rivals [Providence Catholic] on Tuesday, you’re caught in sort of no-man’s land,” Gura said.

Gura knows he is going to get scoring from Jackson and fellow guard Harry Davis (eight points), but what he is excited about is the play from Mander and fellow forward Pete Ragen.

Ragen finished with 20 points and 13 rebounds against St. Pat’s. He scored one point and finished with nine boards against Ridgewood, but Mander picked up the scoring inside with his effort.

“I have to have them scoring,” Gura said. “Ragen had 20 in the win against St. Pat’s. When my bigs score like that, it takes all the pressure off my guards.

When we get that inside presence, it makes us a well-rounded team. A well-rounded team makes us harder to guard and easier for our scorers to get into position and it makes it harder for teams just to concentrate on Jalen [Jackson].”

To have success offensively in the playoffs, Gura touched on a couple of key factors.

“We can’t turn the ball over like we did tonight,” he said of the Hilltoppers’ 22 turnovers. “It was a sloppy game.

We also have to have all five guys as scoring threats. If we can get four or five guys in double figures, we have a chance to compete in the state tournament.”

On defense, it’s been simple.

“We’ve been playing aggressively on defense, and it has to continue,” Gura said.

JOLIET CATHOLIC ATHLETICS

JCA announces third Hall of Champions class SUBMITTED REPORT

JOLIET – Joliet Catholic Academy has announced its third Hall of Champions class.

The previous classes, a virtual “Who’s Who” of Joliet area athletics, included Gordie Gillespie, Bill Gullickson, Allie Quigley, Jim Stefanich, Tom Thayer, Mike Alstott, Terry Gannon, Mark Grant, Tippy Madarik and Liz Tortorello-Nelson.

The 2016 class is highlighted by a legendary coach, a major league baseball player, a pioneer in women’s athletics in the Joliet area, the school’s only state wrestling champion and one of the greatest three-sport athletes the Joliet area has seen.

JCA athletic director Dan Sharp announced the 2016 class of Jane Condon (1975), Pat Mudron (’67), Mark Parker (’76), Jack Perconte (’72) and Pat Sullivan (’61). The class will be honored Sept. 2 at JCA with a reception and dinner.

More details will follow.

JANE CONDON

St. Francis’ first superstar athlete, Condon earned varsity letters in five sports: volleyball, basketball, gymnastics, track and field and tennis. She led the Angels to a 27-0 record in basketball during their first two years of interscholastic competition, which began in the 1973-1974 school year. In ’74, she averaged 18 points in basketball while finishing third in the Illini-Eight Con-

ference meet in track and fifth in the district meet in the discus, qualifying for state.

As a senior in ’75, she led the Angels’ volleyball program to a turnaround from 2-10 in ’74 to a 10-5 record.

In the inaugural softball season during her senior year, Condon led the Angels to a second-place conference finish at 9-5 and tallied an incredible 59 RBIs. Girls tennis debuted in 1975 and Condon teamed with Gerri Kiep for a 6-1 doubles record.

She became the first female to receive an athletic scholarship to Lewis University. A 1984 inductee into the Lewis Athletics Hall of Fame, she earned 11 letters at Lewis in basketball, tennis, volleyball and softball. She graduated as Lewis’ career leader in scoring with 703 points (10.7 average).

She helped the Flyers finish second in

the state in 1978-79.

She has operated 1st Choice Temporary Service, Inc. since 1991, serving the Joliet and Will County areas specializing in warehouse, office and industrial staffing needs.

“Jane was our first superstar athlete during the Title IX era and she blazed the trail for Angel athletes to follow in the inaugural years of girls interscholastic athletics at St. Francis Academy,” Sharp said. “Gordie [Gillespie] used to say Jane was always the best athlete in the neighborhood, even when competing against the boys growing up. Her support of our girls athletic program continues to this day.”

PAT MUDRON

Mudron is perhaps one of the most powerful athletes to play for the Hilltoppers on the gridiron, but he was a multi-sport star during his high school years. As a senior, he won the state championship as a heavyweight in wrestling, going 27-0-1 in the process.

He finished his career with an astounding 100-5-3 record, never losing a regular-season match.

He was a two-time all-state honoree in football – in ’65 as a tackle and in ’66 as a linebacker. He led the Hilltoppers to an 8-1 record his senior season, before the advent of the IHSA football playoffs. For his efforts in wrestling and football, he was named the Will County Athlete of the Year in 1966-1967.

Mudron earned a football scholar-

ship to Notre Dame, where he appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated tackling USC’s O.J. Simpson in a game played in front of 100,000 fans.

His success continues in his professional life, both as an insurance salesman for Mudron Kane Insurance and as a Joliet City Councilman.

“Gordie said that ‘Mud’ was the best lineman he ever coached,” Sharp said.

“He was a tremendous nose tackle and he remains our first and only state wrestling champion. Pat continues to give back, both to JCA and the Joliet community, through his efforts on the City Council.”

MARK PARKER

Parker quarterbacked Joliet Catholic’s first state championship football team in 1975 to a 13-0 record, passing for 1,237 yards. His athletic exploits also carried over to the diamond and the hard court, making him one of the first and greatest three-sport athletes to don the Victory Light (coach Gillespie first added the Victory Light to the football helmets for the 1975 season). Parker led the Hilltoppers to a 34-15 overall record in basketball during his final two years, earning team MVP, all-area, and all-conference honors both years. His senior year he led the area in free-throw percentage.

In baseball, the talented catcher was named all-area in his junior and senior seasons.

they were behind,” Reed said. “I think that comes from beating us the first time.”

The Bees are the only team to beat the Saints twice. They administered an 81-54 defeat Jan. 16 in Davenport. The Saints won their next 12 games, most by comfortable margins, but St. Ambrose never wavered in the face of adversity in the rematch. Trailing 19-10 after a quarter, the Bees rallied and led, 3532, at the half via Jessica Mlachnik’s 3-pointer just before the buzzer.

That turned out to be in the middle of a 12-0 run, which became a 20-7 outburst for a 48-38 lead, and forced the Saints to play catch-up. They could not.

“They played really well together as a team,” Brown said of their foes.

The Bees, paced by Reeann McCarty’s 16 points, led by 14 before a rally

trimmed the gap to five points, Brown converting a conventional three-point play with 1:41 remaining. The margin went to four on Christina Ekhomu’s two free throws with 1:08 left, but the Saints, tired after trying to find open looks, could get no closer.

St. Francis’ 30.3 shooting percentage was its third worst of the season. The worst was also against the Bees.

“They did move a lot,” Reed said of St. Ambrose’s defense. “And we got in foul trouble kind of early.”

The Bees’ balance was also tough to handle. Devin Griffin (15), Mlachnik (12) and Lindsay Smith (11) joined McCarty in double figures.

The combination proved toxic to the Saints’ task. Perhaps the air in Sioux City, Iowa, site of the NAIA tournament, will revive their fortunes.

outcome, from some big shots to rebounding to helping get some big stops.

We shot the ball extremely well. But more importantly, we controlled the boards in the second half, which was the main factor in holding them to 31 second-half points.”

EVANSTON – Plainfield Central Co-op sophomore Ryan Netzel finished third in the 500 free (4:33.01) and fourth in the 200 free (1:4165), and senior Brandon Tran was third in the 100 breaststroke (56.04 seconds) to lead the Wildcats to an 11th-place finish Saturday in the IHSA boys state swimming meet.

Plainfield scored 39 points. Lyons won with 146. The Wildcats’ 200 medley relay of Tran, Netzel, freshman Merek Avery and junior Kyle Potts reached the consolation finals and finished 11th in 1:35.97.

Other area finishers were Lincoln-Way East junior Andy Grever in the 500 free (4:33.67) and Lincoln-Way West junior Ryan Burggren in diving (414.05 points).

JOLIET – In the end Friday at the Sullivan Center, the 23 turnovers St. Francis forced St. Ambrose into didn’t matter.

Neither did the season-high 27-point showing of Alexis Brown.

Only the final score mattered: St. Ambrose 79, St. Francis 69.

Thus ends, in only the second home loss of the season, the quest of the Saints women’s basketball team for the Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference tournament title after falling in the semifinals.

The bright side: The season isn’t over. Ranked fourth in NAIA Division II entering the game, the Saints (28-4) will be in the national tournament via

their CCAC regular-season title.

Now, rather than facing fast-break specialists Olivet Nazarene on Monday, they’ll be able to rest. St. Ambrose (228), ranked 22nd, will have to tangle with the Tigers.

“Coach [Samantha Quigley] said the loss was kind of good for us,” Charnelle Reed said. “We’ll go into the national tournament with a chip on our shoulder.”

Reed’s back might also feel better.

The soreness the junior has felt recently was aggravated in a second-half collision. She scored 17 points, right on her average, in 33 minutes, but after the game looked like she needed to sleep in for a day or two.

Reed had no doubt what the biggest difference was on Friday night.

44 CUBS

Zobrist expected to help Cubs play small ball

By MIKE TULUMELLO The Associated Press

MESA, Ariz. – The Cubs are thinking big this season. To get to the World Series, they might have to play small.

Enter Ben Zobrist.

Though the Cubs won 97 games and reached the National League Championship Series last season, their offense was closer to the middle of the pack. They had an MLB-worst 1,518 strikeouts and ranked just 16th in runs scored at 4.25 a game.

Zobrist should help. The 34-year-old has built a career on the little things.

He makes a lot of contact and gets on base. He’s hit for some power and stolen some bases. He’s played every position except catcher and pitcher. He does some of everything a manager might need, and that broad skillset has made him a darling in the sabermetric community.

He’s also played in five postseasons, including with Kansas City when the Royals won last season’s World Series.

He scored 15 runs in 16 playoff games for those Royals while hitting from the two-hole.

“Figuring out ways to get guys in

• HALL Continued from page 40 In his senior year, he led the Hilltoppers to a tie for the Illini-Eight Conference title with Joliet Central.

After high school, Parker starred in three sports collegiately, first at the College of St. Francis and then at Coe College in Iowa. He was inducted into Coe’s Hall of Fame for football, basketball and baseball, a feat unfathomable in today’s collegiate athletics climate.

When he left Coe, he became the first athlete to have his number retired. In 1980, Parker had a slugging percentage of .923. In his senior year, he hit 13 home runs.

On the day his number was retired, he hit a grand slam homer. His senior batting average of .461 was down from his sophomore batting average of .538, which led the nation’s collegiate players much of that season. He was recognized with four all-conference awards, three NCAA Division III All-America selections and three NCAA all-district selections.

Parker went on to a successful teaching, coaching and administrative career at the high school level, currently serving as the athletic director at Dike-New Hartford High School in Dike, Iowa.

“Mark is the greatest three-sport athlete in Joliet Catholic’s history,”

The Cubs are hoping Ben Zobrist will help the team play small ball this season. He does some of everything a manager might need, and that broad skillset has made him a darling in the sabermetric community. from third, to piece hits together when you have a really tough pitcher on the mound ... that’s certainly one of the reasons they brought me in,” he said.

“This team wants to grow offensively over the course of this season. We’re

going to focus on that early in spring training and make it something we really get better at.”

Zobrist and Jason Heyward signed with the Cubs as free agents this offseason, and it’s probably not a coinci-

Sharp said. “He had a tremendous amount of talent, but it was his cerebral approach to whatever sport he was playing that separated him from the rest. Gordie considered him one of the greatest quarterbacks he ever coached, at the high school or collegiate level.”

PAT SULLIVAN

JACK PERCONTE

Perconte played seven seasons in the major leagues with the Los Angeles Dodgers, Cleveland Indians and Seattle Mariners, finishing with the White Sox. His best season was 1984, when he hit .294 with 29 steals and 31 RBIs with Seattle. A second baseman, he batted .270 for his career. He played in college ball at Murray State before being selected by the Dodgers in the 16th round of the 1976 draft. He is the author of two books on baseball and the website www.baseballcoachingtips.net.

Perconte was a member of the first Hilltoppers’ baseball team to capture an Illini-Eight title. In 1972 as a senior he finished second in the area in batting average (.434) and first in steals (13).

He was a two-time all-conference and all-area nominee.

“Jack was an outstanding baseball player at Joliet Catholic and set the standard as the first of our eight major leaguers,” Sharp said. “He continues to give back to youth baseball players today as an accomplished instructor and author.”

Sullivan’s name is synonymous with basketball in the Joliet area.

After beginning his coaching career at Providence, Sullivan spent 35 years at the University of St. Francis, where he served as the basketball coach, athletic director and athletic chairman until his retirement in 2010. Sullivan led the Saints to more than 500 victories. The valedictorian of the 1965 graduating class at Lewis, Sullivan was mentored by legendary area coach and fellow JCA Hall of Champions member Gordie Gillespie.

A 1961 Joliet Catholic graduate, Sullivan is a member of numerous Hall of Fames, including the Joliet Area Sports Hall of Fame, Lewis Hall of Fame and the Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference Hall of Fame. Twelve times he received Coach of the Year recognition from various organizations, and he also founded USF’s Brown & Gold Night, which has featured legendary speakers such as Al McGuire, Mike Ditka, John Wooden, Ray Meyer, Dan Hampton, Paul Hornung, and Bart Starr.

“Pat is known as one of the greatest college basketball coaches in the country,” Sharp said. “His ability to teach the game and prepare young men for life is his strength, and he was a mentor to me and so many other great coaches in our area. Anyone

dence that the Cubs targeted similar offensive players – Zobrist had a .359 on-base percentage and .450 slugging percentage last season, while Heyward’s numbers were .359 and .439. As Zobrist said, “We have tended to make contact.”

Manager Joe Maddon hasn’t announced a lineup yet, but Zobrist could bat second for the Cubs, just ahead of sluggers Kris Bryant and Anthony Rizzo. With the latter two providing plenty of pop, Zobrist should add some necessary variety to the top of the Cubs lineup.

“Someone’s going to hit the home run,” Rizzo said, but “the Royals singled you to death last year. They won it all.”

Maddon is happy to be reunited with Zobrist after the two spent nine seasons together with Tampa Bay. “He’s a high on-base percentage guy who runs the bases well,” Maddon said.

“I promise you ... his at-bat, whenever it arrives, whatever the team needs at that moment, that’s what he’s trying to do. More than likely, he’s not going to swing at bad pitches just to get on base. It’s not about him getting a hit.

It’s about him getting on base.”

who played for or worked with Pat is a better person for it.”

JOHN CARROLL

An addition to 2016 JCA Hall of Champions is the “Legends Category,” which honors a coach or athlete from the pre-World War II era. John Carroll is this year’s nominee. He is the all-time leader in wins among boys basketball coaches with a 193-80 record, guiding the Hilltoppers to three national Catholic championships during his coaching tenure. His 1926-27 team went 24-0 and his 1933-34 team went 29-3, both winning national titles.

Carroll also coached the Hilltoppers in football, and his undefeated (5-0) 1926 squad established what will remain an unbreakable record – they shut out every opponent. His 1928 Hilltoppers defeated Mount Carmel, 12-0, in the inaugural game of what has become one of the most intense rivalries in the nation.

“Joliet Catholic prides itself on the outstanding coaches throughout our history and Carroll was the first, winning national championships in the 1920s and 1930s,” Sharp said. “His teams also were the first to light up the Victory Light, beginning the tradition that continues today. When competing in the national tournament, the Christian Brothers would light up the Victory Light to let the city of Joliet know that our Hillmen were victorious.”

Renwick Place in Romeoville celebrates grand opening The HERALD–NEWS ROMEOVILLE – William Ryan Homes has announced the Feb. 27 Grand Opening of Renwick Place, a community of 167 affordable single-family homes close to shopping, restaurants, easy interstate access and adjacent to Lake Renwick on an 830acre preserve.

Located just east of Interstate 55, south of Lockport Road and north of Renwick Road, Renwick Place is served by highly rated Plainfield School District 202, including Plainfield North High School.

“We are offering 13 ranch and two-story floor plans priced from the low $200,000s with flexible options to make sure we have something for everyone,” said Chris Coleman, Chicago Division President. “The homes range from 2,300 to more than 3,800 square

feet of living space so these are homes that can meet evolving family needs.”

Lake Renwick Preserve creates an inviting country atmosphere for those to purchase homes at Renwick Place.

The Preserve includes 839 acres of protected land highlighted by 200-acre Budde Lake and associated wetland habitat. The preserve is home to several varieties of birds, including the great blue heron and great egret. Structures have been built on islands in the lake to provide nesting opportunities for birds.

In addition, the Lake Renwick Bikeway is a 3.5 mile, flat paved linear and loop trail that travels through the wetlands and around the lake. Area residents can enjoy biking, hiking, running, in-line skating, cross-country skiing and snowshoeing.

Renwick Place blends access to natural amenities with easy access to

shopping, services and Interstate 55 for convenient commuting. This brand new neighborhood ensures an outstanding lifestyle for every member of the family.

William Ryan Homes, a national builder with suburban Chicago roots, has earned a distinguished reputation for high-impact architecture, quality craftsmanship and deluxe included features and numerous options including the signature morning room.

Buyers also will appreciate an excellent location with easy access to Interstate 55.

William Ryan Homes was established in 1992 in suburban Chicago, and has since expanded to markets in Arizona, Florida and Wisconsin. The company is presently the number one privately owned builder of single-family homes in the Chicago area. As a national company, William Ryan Homes

offers quality on every level with science-based building systems, national purchasing power and operational efficiencies that enhance the value received. Every home is Green-built to exceed Energy Star guidelines and with an outstanding 1-2-10 Transferable Warranty. A state-of-the-art waterproofing process guarantees dry basements for 10 years.

Other company innovations include a “My Home 24-7” personal customer website, a thorough customer orientation program and partnership with Wintrust Mortgage for financing needs.

For more information or to add your name to the VIP list, contact Liz Larson for an appointment at 888-351-7186 or chicagoonline@wmryan.com. Also, visit www.williamryanhomes.com, like William Ryan Homes on Facebook and follow them on Twitter.

Frankfort man seeking site for nonprofit indoor baseball stadium

By DENISE M. BARAN–UNLAND dunland@shawmedia.com

“I

love the sounds of a wooden bat and ball.”

So said David Wooten of Frankfort. Wooten’s dream is to build a $200 million indoor stadium with the primary focus on baseball, especially Little League.

For Wooten, this is more than an indoor field of dreams. He believes people will support the dream and fund its construction. So in 2007, Wooten formed a nonprofit called Step Up to the Plate, Play Indoor Baseball, NFP to help attain that goal.

Wooten declined to disclose the amount thus far raised. But he said he is raising money and is looking at seven potential sites in Will and Grundy counties, although he will look at other areas in Illinois if those don’t work out.

His website – www.playindoorbaseball.com – has a mission statement, descriptions, a donation page, frequently asked questions and generic drawings of what the stadium could look like.

“It is, in fact, a modified Major League Baseball stadium,” Wooten said.

He envisions 400,000 square feet, a 150-foot-tall ceiling, 20,000 seats, concessions, batting cages and pitching areas. Additional features include synthetic turf, LEED-certified lighting and a swimming pool, Wooten said.

Wooten said construction of the

“I want to bring back the good era of baseball I had as a kid.”

David Wooten

Creator of Step Up to the Plate, Play Indoor Baseball, NFP

stadium will take two to three years and potentially create hundreds of jobs in the trades for Illinois workers.

“The whole idea for this stadium is to be self-sustaining,” he said.

“We want benefactors to come in, write the checks, build the stadium and have no mortgage. We only want to have operating expenses. … Because we’re nonprofit, everything goes back in the stadium.”

In addition to Little League, the stadium could be used for national and international conventions, agricultural shows, military and veteran events, as well as concerts and car shows, Wooten said.

Because of its size, the stadium could host half a dozen events on the same day.

More online Visit this article at TheHerald-News. com to view a video of David Wooten sharing a childhood baseball memory.

“I want to dramatically increase access to recreation,” Wooten said, “through baseball.”

Why baseball?

Wooten has great memories of playing Little League on Lou Boudreau Field in Harvey. The site was impeccable. Every blade of grass was trimmed, and every chalk line

was straight.

“We played under lights. Can you imagine that, at 8, 9 and 10 years old?” Wooten said. “But we did have weather and we did have rainouts.”

Inclement weather – rain, sleet and sometimes snow – is a scourge of Little League, and every child who plays faces it, Wooten said.

Then Wooten realized Mother Nature didn’t always know best.

Years later, Wooten was coaching Little League in Country Club Hills when wet weather canceled an entire spring break of practices. “There has to be a better way,” Wooten thought.

With an indoor baseball stadium, Little League can become an all-weather, year-round game, Wooten said. Working parents, single parents and grandparents would have more opportunities to watch their children and grandchildren play.

And only a nonprofit would do.

That’s because Wooten said he believes in partnerships, donations and community support, a perspective formed when he – as a boy – raised money for Little League through business advertisements on booster cards.

“I want to bring back the good era of baseball I had as a kid,” Wooten said.

David Wooten of Frankfort started Step Up to the Plate, Play Indoor Baseball, NFP with the goal of building an indoor baseball stadium in Illinois.

Foundation awards Maroon Apples Troy students conduct food drive The HERALD–NEWS LOCKPORT – The Lockport Township High School Foundation awards the Maroon Apple each semester to a teacher or support staff member who has gone “above and beyond” for students and their colleagues.

The award honors a member of each campus who displays Porter Pride in words and actions. The award also comes with a monetary gift card and a traveling trophy to be displayed in the classroom for the rest of the year.

At East, this semester’s Maroon Apple was awarded to special education and world language teacher Missy Schmook, who organized a food drive for a needy student’s family and tutored past students who are now in junior college. Schmook is a strong student advocate and always willing to help.

At Central, the Maroon Apple winner is English teacher Sarah Weimer, who was nominated for putting in extra effort with her students on a daily basis.

Walker’s Grove fifth-grader Luke Brown watches as firstgraders sign his Anti-Bully Zone pledge poster on Feb. 4.

The HERALD–NEWS

About 50 fifth-graders in Citizenship through Community Service classes at William B. Orenic Intermediate School recently held a food drive throughout the Troy Community School District 30-C schools and donated their collection of more than 2,500 items to St. John Lutheran Food Pantry in Joliet.

The students in teacher Allison Acevedo’s classes chose the project themselves, organized it, promoted

it among the schools with morning announcements and an iMovie they made, collected the boxes and bags of goods at the end of the drive, and took the donations to the food pantry.

They later volunteered at one of the pantry’s distribution days, spending about three hours sorting, examining expiration dates, stocking, serving and helping clients carry their items to their vehicles.

St. John Lutheran Food Pantry offers weekly food pantries and mobile food pantry events six times a year.

Local fifth-grader addresses bullying The HERALD–NEWS PLAINFIELD – Luke Brown, a fifth-grade student at Walker’s Grove Elementary School in Plainfield, is visiting classrooms to speak against bullying and ask students to sign an anti-bully pledge.

Brown, 11, started his campaign in January after learning that every day hundreds of thousands of students across the nation don’t go to school for

fear of being bullied.

He created anti-bullying speeches asking all kindergarten through fifthgrade students to be kind, fair, friendly, nice and considerate to everyone.

After speaking, he asks students to sign an Anti-Bully Zone poster-sized pledge. Brown said some of the students who signed the pledge have bullied his friends. So far, all students have signed the posters. The pledge posters will be hung around school.

Brooke Borgra, an 8th grade volleyball player from Club 1 Volleyball in Plainfield, served a perfect game of 25 to 0 in a tournament on February 20th in Oak Lawn, IL. Brooke also plays volleyball for Troy Middle School in Shorewood. She is the daughter of Kim and Jim Borgra of Joliet. Congrats to Brooke for her perfect game.

JOLIET – Eighty-six students from the graduating class of 2016 were recently recognized as Illinois State Scholars.

The Illinois Student Assistance Commission (ISAC) bestows this prestigious recognition to top Illinois high school students annually.

This year, nearly 19,000 elite honorees join other top state students honored for their academic achievements since the designation was first introduced in 1958.

Yoga powerfully relieves stress Dear Dr. K: A friend is urging me to try yoga because I’m stressed out. I am suspicious of all these “touchy-feely” practices. Does yoga have scientifically proven benefits?

Dear Reader: Yes, many studies have found that yoga can improve strength, flexibility and balance. It also is effective in relieving stress and anxiety. It has minimal side effects, although there are a few precautions I should mention.

Like any form of regular exercise, it should be begun gradually in older people.

People with disease of the bones in their neck, and people with glaucoma, need to avoid certain yoga exercises. If you have those problems, talk to a yoga instructor before you begin.

Several years ago a reader asked me about yoga, and I mentioned my first experience with its stress reduction benefits. The story is worth retelling.

The first person I ever knew who regularly practiced yoga was an intense and ambitious young doctor. Any conversation with him was short and difficult; he completed your sentences for you and interrupted you at will.

He was very smart and had a lot of valuable things to say, but that didn’t mean you looked forward to talking with him.

Then something odd happened. I had a conversation with him in which he didn’t interrupt me. A few weeks later, I had another.

What was going on? I learned from his wife that she’d suggested, strongly, that he try yoga – and he loved it.

In addition to physical postures and exercises, traditional yoga incorporates breath control, deep relaxation, meditation, concentration and mindfulness. These mindbody practices counteract stress by evoking the relaxation response. The relaxation response can be practiced without doing yoga – although the physical benefits (strength, flexibility and balance) are not as great.

SUDOKU

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff Nevertheless, you are primarily asking about techniques to relieve stress.

The relaxation response is essentially the opposite of the stress response. It lowers heart rate and blood pressure and decreases the production of stress hormones. Practicing yoga leads to changes in the mind and body that promote feelings of tranquility and well-being.

My friend Dr. Herbert Benson, a famous meditation researcher here at Harvard Medical School, described the following exercises to elicit the relaxation response. Give them a try to see if they help you to feel more relaxed: • Select a word, mantra, prayer or thought.

Focus your attention on it in a relaxed manner.

• When other, everyday thoughts intrude, let them go. Refocus your attention on step one in a relaxed and patient manner without frustration or judgment.

Start by doing this for five minutes. Gradually increase the amount of time you spend on the exercises.

I’d urge you to try yoga, rather than just the relaxation response, because of its greater physical benefits. To learn more about the physical and mental benefits of yoga, you can read a short e-book called “Your Brain on Yoga” by Harvard Medical School’s Dr. Sat Bir Khalsa, with Jodie Gould. You can learn more about this book at my website, AskDoctorK.com.

Service with a smile is hard to deliver with bad teeth Dear Abby : I have a problem of my own making. When I was a young child/teenager, I never brushed my teeth.

Because of it, the enamel on my teeth eroded and I have cavities, really bad ones.

Add to that a desperate fear of dentists, and my teeth are in horrible shape now. When I smile, my front teeth are mostly black. I work in customer service. I’m too young to have awful teeth, and I’m ashamed.

I saw a dentist recently and I have made appointments to have my dental issues addressed, but it’s expensive and it won’t be for a few months.

I have never been so aware of how bad my teeth are as I am now, and I consciously keep myself from smiling.

It makes working in customer service really hard because I’m constantly thinking, “Don’t let them see your teeth.” But even when I’m just talking, I know people can see them.

work – done, you are doing all you can.

If you weren’t good at your job, you wouldn’t have lasted at it for as long as you have.

When customers come to you It’s impossible to say, “I know for help, they are less interested my teeth are disgusting, but I’m in your teeth than in what you can getting them fixed, so please don’t do to solve their problems, so you judge me” to every person I meet, shouldn’t let yourself be sidebut I very much feel like doing so. tracked by what they “might” think I’m a socially anxious person about them. anyway and this is killing my Do your job, keep those dental already poor social skills.

my sick boyfriend.

Part of the reason was he was sick and, secondly, he was keeping me up at night using my master bath every five minutes.

Working long hours, then having to come home and take care of a man who was hardheaded about his health was exhausting. I needed my space and to rest.

Could this be why I don’t want anyone in my home? I feel bad about being this way, especially toward my own family and boyfriend.

– Super Territorial Dear Territorial: By now you should have been able to get some rest, so I hesitate to blame fatigue for your feelings.

I suspect they may have more to do with the fact that this is the first home in which you are living independently, and you want to keep it pristine. People often feel the same way when they buy a new car.
