JOLIET – The Joliet Public Schools District 86 Board of School Inspectors plans to approve a report of gifts and an audit for last school year at their next board meeting.

According to a board report on gifts for the Feb. 10 meeting, $510 was collected for the Mary Volk Memorial Fund, which will be used for the Gompers Junior High School library in honor of Mary Volk, who served as the second of three librarian in the history of the school between 1976 and 2010, according to a report to the board.

Volk died on Dec. 25 and Gompers staff members wanted to honor her memory by starting the memorial fund to collect money for books for the school library.

Each book will have a sticker placed in front of it that will read “This book is do-

nated to your library in the memory of Ms. Mary Volk, Gompers Junior High School librarian from 1976-2010,” according to the board report.

Families of the Sator Sanchez Elementary School community were given Christmas presents, and 608 hats, gloves, mittens and scarves donated to students from volunteers with the Visitation & Aid Society of Joliet.

A resident donated four yards of road salt to Building Support Services department.

The audit the Board of School Inspectors will consider approving at their next meeting is for the 2014-15 year and was prepared by Klein, Hall & Associates, LLC.

Teaching coaches

At Wednesday’s meeting, board inspectors heard from a team of instructional coaches and other educators on how they’re increasing the rigor in District 86

classrooms, as well as testimonies from district staff.

The team gave the board inspectors what Superintendent Charles Coleman called a snapshot of their efforts, which included using Star 360 assessment tools to produce data coaches and teachers can use to improve instruction.

They also discussed how coaches are supporting teachers throughout the district with lesson planning, professional development and goals.

Coleman said when the district first began using the concept of professional learning communities and instructional coaches, it was new.

“With newness comes a lot of changing that needs to occur on the part of people who are being impacted,” he said. “As we fast-forward from that point till now, these are real live testimonies, those coaches are master teachers bar none and we’re just proud of the work they’re doing.”

1903 building once housed Will County sheriff’s offices

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS

lleonecross@shawmedia.com

JOLIET – Boxes of old files, an interrogation room table and chairs, empty shell casings and Starbucks coffee cups were among the items left behind by the Will County Sheriff’s Office when staff vacated this past summer the antiquated Eagle building at 20 W. Washington St. in downtown Joliet.

Having exhausted its use for mainly the investigative unit of the sheriff’s office, the decades-old, three-story structure behind the Will County Courthouse is set to be torn down as early as this spring and a parking lot will take its place, according to the county.

Bids for asbestos abatement, demolition and creation of a surface parking lot were due Tuesday. Gould Excavating & Trucking – based in Joliet – came in with the lowest bid at just under $299,450, according to county officials.

The building’s history

Little is known about the Eagle building, but the tan brick structure was built as a lodge for the Fraternal Order of Eagles, an international civic club, according to the Joliet Area Historical Museum. The 1903 building accommodated the group’s meetings and activities, including dances, according to Herald-News archives.

The historical museum has only tidbits of information about the building, said Greg Peerbolte, the museum’s executive director. While searching through archives, Peerbolte said he did learn that a Joliet-based Fraternal Order of Eagles still exists to this day at another location.

The Eagle building’s address was 904 W. Washington St. until 1938, when the city of Joliet underwent a significant change in the street numbering system, he said.

County leaders have pointed to the building’s poor insulation, crumbling infrastructure and asbestos-ridden pipes and floor tiles as reason enough to demolish it as the county pushes forward with plans for a new state-ofthe-art sheriff’s facility on Laraway Road. That is set to replace the existing structure on the same site that currently houses the majority of the departments of the sheriff’s office.

The building, which was constructed in 1903, will be demolished in the spring to make way for a parking lot. LEFT: Mike Miglorini, director of maintenance for Will County, gives a tour of the lower level of the Eagle building.

The sheriff’s offices were vacated in August, but remnants of the decades-old building’s time as a host for the Eagles organization remain, including the original Fraternal Order of Eagles inscription that’s etched into the building’s facade. Ornate columns

can be seen in a narrow hallway – likely the remains of a former stage where the Eagles hosted dances and other entertainment events.

One thing not normally found in a sheriff’s facility, a beer cooler, was once used by the Eagles. But the sher-

iff’s office had another use for it, said Mike Miglorini, the county’s director of maintenance “This is where [the Eagles] kept the kegs of beer for the Eagles club,” Miglorini said during a walk-through of the building Wednesday. “For the jail ... this is where we kept all the extra keys for all the cells. They are supposed to be kept in a different building.”

Original 1903 boiler, other issues

Over the years, the list of problems at the Eagle building has grown exponentially, Miglorini said.

Final approval of train station delayed again

By BOB OKON

bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The expected final approval of bids for a downtown Joliet train station has been delayed because of new cost overruns, although the latest holdup may be for only a few weeks.

City officials announced two weeks ago that Joliet received tentative approval from the Illinois Department of Transportation to award the contract on the station and that final approval would come at the end of January.

But state approval has been complicated by an estimated $400,000 in new costs added to the winning bid since it was put on hold in June.

City officials now say they expect the matter to be cleared up this month and hope to have final state approval before the end of February.

“I’m confident that we’re moving forward, but it’s a complication,” Deputy City Manager Steve Jones said. “It’s a challenge. There are challenges to this project. We have to keep moving forward.”

The latest challenge developed since the award of a $15.6 million bid to Walsh Construction was put on hold in June.

The state at that time raised concerns that increased costs in what is now a $50 million project no longer left enough money to pay for a bus station that was part of the original plan, when the project was estimated at $42 million.

The state is putting $30 million into the project, which also includes a realignment of railroad tracks and new commuter platforms, and has final approval of bid awards.

Local officials spent more than six months persuading the state to allow Joliet to build the train station now and bus station later when the city could find funding.

In the meantime, Jones said, Walsh

Passengers walk along the Metra Rock Island District platform after arriving Sept. 26, 2014, in downtown Joliet. The expected final approval of bids for a train station has been delayed because of new cost overruns, although the latest snap may be for only a few weeks.

Construction lost two subcontractors that had originally signed up for the project and is facing higher steel prices than it did in June.

“If you have to replace the subcontractors, any new ones would be based on February 2016 prices, not June 2015 prices,” Jones said.

Walsh has estimated that the price of the job will rise by $400,000, Jones said. The state, he said, has told Joliet officials to decide whether they want to submit the original bid for approval and

then seek approval for the additional costs later. Or, the city could submit the revised higher bid for approval.

City Manager Jim Hock said he expects the city to make a decision by Feb. 16, when the City Council could vote on the bid. The bid would then be submitted to the state for approval.

Design change order

Also this week, the council approved $85,000 in additional funding for Knight Engineering/Architects, which is doing

design work on the project. It was the eighth change order allowing additional payments to Knight since the firm was awarded the contract in 2011.

The change order was needed to redesign a train station retaining wall after the Union Pacific Railroad rejected a previous design, according to a City Council memo. The wall originally was designed to be built with metal.

The railroad is concerned about corrosion and wants the wall built with concrete.

Joliet orders 50 Tasers; chief wants one for every officer

By BOB OKON

bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The city of Joliet is ordering 50 new Tasers as the police department gets closer to its goal of having every officer equipped with the device.

“We’re going to outfit all uniformed officers with them,” Police Chief Brian Benton said.

Joliet now has 169 Tasers, although 31 are not used because attached video cameras are not working. The addi-

tional 50 will bring the Taser total to 219. The city has 270 police officers.

The City Council approved Tuesday buying the 50 additional Tasers equipped with cameras at a cost of $110,000 from TASER International.

Joliet has been equipping its police with Tasers since 2010, when the first order was placed for 25 of the weapons, also called stun guns because they disable with an electrical charge.

Benton said the police department has always bought Tasers with video camera attachments. Even though the

stun-gun feature still works on the 31 Tasers now out of use, Benton said, the department does not allow Tasers to be used without working cameras.

“When we started the program, we wanted to make sure we had video on them because we wanted to defend the officer,” he said. “We wanted to show what the officer saw.”

Police have faced increased public demand for use of video since the Ferguson, Missouri, police shooting of unarmed black teenager Michael Brown in August 2014. Benton said Jo-

liet has always seen camera-equipped Tasers as a way to protect against misuse of the weapon.

“We owe it to our citizens to have that captured on video,” Benton said.

“We’re only going to issue Tasers that have the video functionality.”

The camera has proved useful in defending police against complaints of misconduct, he said.

“The videos helped us on internal complaints against officers,” he said, “and it helped us in litigation in that it shows the officer’s perspective.”

Plainfield board OKs $190K in tech upgrades for village staff

By VIKAAS SHANKER

vshanker@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – The Plainfield Village Board on Monday approved a $160,000 phone system for Village Hall.

The board also approved the purchase of two Dell servers from CDW-G for $8,673.98 and a Palo Alto Networks PA-3020 firewall system and services from CDW-G for $21,301.35.

The ShoreTel phone system by Call One costs $130,872.82, while the equipment and licenses, also from CDW-G, costs $28,930.65, making the total cost $159,803.47.

The technology hardware will help the village upgrade its existing digital and phone services, IT Director Rick Kaczanko said.

Kaczanko said Village Hall, the police department and public works department are separate systems in separate buildings that have been rigged to work together for the last 15 years.

“Those systems are reaching their end of life,” Kaczanko said. “They’re running on old systems, old software.”

Trustee Brian Wojowski, noting that $160,000 was a lot of money, asked how the phone system was better than the current system.

Kaczanko said the upgrade will give village staff a “true network-based phone system.”

The new phone system will unify the three buildings, allowing the village to communicate using voice over IP and other advanced technology.

Village Administrator Brian Mur-

“We have had some issues keeping this together with chewing gum and duct tape.”

Plainfield village administrator phy noted that the police department had a number of phone system failures as a result of the current setup.

“We have had some issues keeping this together with chewing gum and duct tape,” Murphy said.

The system would allow village phones to do voicemail-to-email, call accounting, music on hold, three-way conferencing, a conference bridge for up to 10 people, a desktop client, integration with Microsoft software, remote location secure access, cellphone integration and a fax server.

In addition to the technology upgrades, the village approved three contracts: • GovHR USA for $30,000 to conduct an analysis of the village’s salary structure and job classification.

• Upland Design for $7,864 to design the landscaping and hardscaping of Memorial Park, Settlers’ Park and Village Hall.

• Chambers, Conlon and Hartwell LLC for $7,500 a month plus standard expenses to guide the village in the federal grant process for transportation needs, as an effect of the U.S. Congress’ approval of a $305 billion transportation bill last year.

We invite everyone to come listen and dance to our musical entertainment for this weekend.

How To Prevent (Or Lessen) Varicose Veins During Pregnancy SPONSORED BY

By Denise Freese Pregnancy is a wonderful time in a woman’s life, but weight gain and some discomfort are unavoidable. The extra volume of blood your body produces during pregnancy is essential for the baby, but it puts extra pressure on blood vessels, especially the veins in your legs. Varicose veins can result; they may ache, itch, and become visibly swollen.

During pregnancy, there are things you can do to prevent or lessen the effects of varicose veins. Make sure you get daily exercise; even just a power walk around the block can help your circulation. Try to keep moving when you can, and elevate your legs and feet whenever possible.

Don’t sit with your legs or ankles crossed, and don’t sit or stand for long periods without a break.

It’s important to stay within the recommended weight gain guidelines for

your stage of pregnancy, which for most women will be in the 25-35 pound range.

Additional weight only serves to increase the demands on your already overworked circulatory system.

Sleeping on your left side relieves pressure on your major arteries, and decreases pressure on the veins in your legs and feet. Elevate your feet with a pillow while lying down.

Comfortable clothing is a must. Make sure your clothes and underwear don’t bind. Don’t wear tight belts or socks, and avoid tight-fitting shoes and heels. Wearing graduated compression stockings, which are tighter at the ankle and looser as they go up the leg, make it easier for blood to flow upward to the heart. They also help keep blood from pooling in the legs.

Make sure you follow a balanced diet and take daily vitamins, including vitamin C. Your body uses vitamin C to produce collagen and elastin, connective tissues that repair and maintain healthy blood vessels.

Call The Vein and Laser Center for more information: 1-888-894-VEIN or visit their website: www.veinandlasercenter-us.com

about 10 feet away for cross-examination. Capelli asked Gold-Smith why he believed three other former jail inmates “got deals” for being willing to testify he’d offered the job to them.

“I know their histories. They told me their backgrounds while I [helped with] their cases,” GoldSmith said.

Gold-Smith has claimed Brian K. McDaniel, the informant who wore the wire, whispered into the recorder as if he were Gold-Smith.

Gold-Smith told Capelli he’d been introduced to McDaniel in September 2012 by another inmate, Bradley Schlott. McDaniel reportedly made the recording during a conversation the following month.

But Schlott, who is scheduled to be tried on an attempted murder charge later this month, said GoldSmith sat in the TV area and did not have any private conversations with McDaniel the night the recording was made, according to trial testimony.

Closing arguments are expected Thursday.

bstanley@shawmedia.com ROCKDALE – One man was hospitalized Wednesday after two cars crashed at Route 6 and Brandon Road in Rockdale.

Rockdale Police Chief Robert Dykstra said the crash happened about 1:40 p.m. at the traffic light just north of the Brandon Road Lock & Dam. “[The crash] occurred in state police jurisdiction, but our officers were in the area when the call was dispatched and were first on scene,” Dykstra said.

Witnesses said a gray Honda Civic, occupied by one man, turned in front of a red Chevrolet Impala, occupied by a man and a woman. State police still were investigating the crash Wednesday afternoon.

The driver of the Civic was transported to Presence Saint Joseph Medical Center in Joliet with a chest injury that was not considered life-threatening, according to police reports. The man who had been driving the Impala refused medical treatment for an injury to his hand.

The crash closed Brandon Road to southbound traffic for about 20 minutes.

JOLIET – A Homer Glen attorney testified in his own defense Wednesday while standing at the lectern in the center of the courtroom.

Robert Gold-Smith, 53, is representing himself on a charge of solicitation of murder. While locked up for harassing his Robert ex-wife, Gold-Smith Gold-Smith approached inmates at the Will County Jail and offered money to have her killed, prosecutors say.

Gold-Smith and Victoria Smith were going through a contentious divorce in 2010 when he allegedly punched her outside a courtroom.

“I’m very and deeply remorseful about that domestic incident,” GoldSmith told Judge Daniel Rozak, who is overseeing his bench trial.

“I wanted to tell her so many times how sorry I was.”

Gold-Smith’s case on the domes-

tic battery charge has been delayed until after the outcome of this case, but he has already served nearly twice as much time as the maximum 3-year-sentence. He faces up to 30 years in prison if convicted of solicitation of murder. Gold-Smith also has witness tampering charges pending; authorities allege he had a former client contact the informant who wore a wire for detectives in the solicitation case.

Gold-Smith testified Wednesday the end of his marriage was painful and upsetting, but he did not try to hire a hit man.

“I know that my son loves her very dearly and I’d never do anything to hurt [him by hurting] his mother,” Gold-Smith said.

Gold-Smith said he wished his exwife the best and has gone through therapy to move on.

“I have a lady friend I met several months ago. An inmate I’ve been corresponding with since her release,” Gold-Smith said.

Gold-Smith remained at the lectern as Will County Assistant State’s Attorney Adam Capelli stood

U.S. Rep. Bill Foster to host opioid abuse forum in Joliet n WHAT: Congressman Bill Foster will host a second annual discussion on progress made in the fight against opioid and heroin abuse this past year. n WHEN: 10 to 11 a.m. Monday n WHERE: Will County Health Department, 501 Ella Ave. in Joliet. n INFO: Anyone interested in attending can register at foster.house.gov/heroin volved in this because of prescription painkillers,” Foster said.

Foster said he is sponsoring two pieces of legislation he hopes to discuss Monday.

The first is called the Opioid Abuse and Prevention Act, which creates a program to analyze prescribing behavior of doctors and equip doctors with resources needed to identify drug abuse in patients and encourages states to start drug take-back programs.

A second piece of legislation is called the Expanding Opportunity for Recovery Act. Foster said the bill would remove barriers to addiction treatment by providing grant dollars for patients in need of intensive, residential and in-patient treatment.

Patients who can’t afford treatment or lack health insurance that provides the most intensive form of treatment would qualify, he said.

He applauded President Barack Obama for recently announcing a proposed $1.1 billion in new funding for opioid treatment and research to evaluate effective treatments.

JOLIET – U.S. Rep. Bill Foster, D-Naperville, hopes to shed more light on the region’s opioid abuse epidemic Monday when he hosts his second annual discussion forum in Joliet.

“We want to educate everyone about what’s going on and get those on the frontline together,” Foster said.

The meeting will run from 10 to 11 a.m. at the Will County Health Department, 501 Ella Ave. in Joliet. It is free and U.S. Rep. open to the public.

Representatives from Bill Foster local governments and nonprofit organizations who have been working to combat the epidemic of heroin and opioid abuse are scheduled to attend.

Foster said the discussion will focus on past, present and future efforts to expand treatment and provide government agencies with the tools needed to save lives.

The county experienced a record-breaking 53 heroin-related overdose deaths in 2012, resulting in increased efforts by local and state officials to educate communities about the dangers of the addictive drug and opioid medications.

Foster said he wants to spotlight the need for better regulations and oversight concerning those medications, which he said are often the gateway to heroin.

“Many of those who are dying from heroin overdoses are adults who got in-

A slab of stone marks the Fraternal Order of Eagles building Wednesday in downtown Joliet. The building was used by the order for 50 years before being occupied by the Will County Sheriff’s Department.

• EAGLE BUILDING

Continued from page 3 While his department did not oversee the maintenance of the building, Miglorini says he’s fairly intimate with all of its structural issues.

Most years, the electrical system would overload and need repairs. Single-pane windows – coupled with lack of insulation – resulted in extremely low temperatures in the winter and high temperatures in the summer, he said.

In August, a state inspector redtagged the building’s boiler, which is original to the 1903 building, Miglorini said. That left the county with two choices: replace the boiler or vacate the building.

This past summer, several of the sheriff’s investigative offices were moved into the First Midwest Bank building, helping set in motion the eventual demolition of the Eagles building.

“They want this done. The building

The sooner we can move it along, the better,” said Nick Palmer, chief of staff for County Executive Larry Walsh Sr. The county bought for $4 million the bank building last year with the intent to build a new courthouse on the 4.3acre site.

County officials hope to break ground on the new 65,000-square-foot sheriff’s facility this spring with a completion date in September 2017. Once offices that are now in the First Midwest Bank are moved to the new Laraway Road facility, the bank will be torn down so the site can be used for the future courthouse.

An interrogation room sits empty Wednesday at the former Will County sheriff’s offices in the Eagle building in downtown Joliet.

Metra will miss ’18 deadline for new rail safety technology

By JASON KEYSER

The Associated Press CHICAGO – The Metra commuter railroad will miss a 2018 deadline for installing safety technology on all of its Chicago-area routes, but said Wednesday that it still expects to meet its obligations under a federal law requiring the expensive and complex updates.

Metra is among four commuter railroads and three major freight railroads around the country that informed the federal government last week that they won’t hit the target. Instead, Metra outlined an implementation plan under which it expects to satisfy certain criteria for the government to grant it an extension through Dec. 31, 2020.

The technology known as positive train control, or PTC, uses GPS, wireless radio and computers to monitor train positions and automatically slow or stop trains that are in danger of col-

liding, derailing due to excessive speed or approaching track where crews are working.

Congress’ nationwide technology mandate included almost no funding for a project expected to cost billions.

Metra has said the cost of its upgrade – between $350 million and $400 million – is one factor in its delay, especially in the face of Illinois’ state budget stalemate and absence of a state bond program this year.

The agency normally depends on state and federal funding for the vast majority of its capital budget. This year, there is no state money going toward its $185.7 million in capital improvements.

Metra has had to put $400 million worth of capital projects on hold, and to keep its PTC program on track, it had to raise fares. Once the safety system is in place, the cost of maintaining and operating it is expected to total $15 million to $20 million a year.

Among other challenges for Metra, the technology has to work seamlessly among many railroads that share the same tracks, a particular challenge in Chicago, the nation’s busiest rail crossroads.

Another reason for the delay is that the technology is new and certain components have only recently become available, Metra says.

Metra expects to have some of its system operational by 2018. The 2020 alternative schedule is allowed if all PTC equipment is installed, personnel trained and several other milestones reached by the end of 2018 – a mark Metra expects to hit.

“For the past year, Metra has been vocal about the tremendous financial, regulatory, operational and technological challenges we face in implementing PTC on our system – which is the most complex of any railroad in the nation,” the agency said in an email Wednesday.

STATE BRIEF Rauner creates privately funded economic agency

CHICAGO – Gov. Bruce Rauner used his executive powers Wednesday to establish a privately run and funded economic development corporation that’ll take over a state agency’s role in luring new business to Illinois, despite concerns about transparency.

Rauner signed an order pitching the Illinois Business and Economic Development Corporation as a way to make Illinois more competitive for jobs.

The nonprofit group will be funded by private funding, and Rauner estimated donors were prepared to chip in “millions” of dollars. The state’s commerce agency would still have oversight and would have to approve any incentives the corporation offers.

“That entity will recruit superstar leaders from the business community whose job is to sell, market, creatively promote, and negotiate incentives for the state of Illinois to bring businesses here,” Rauner explained at the signing in Chicago.

Hospice Care for Dementia Patients SPONSORED BY

By Dr. J.D. Wright Dementia is a condition seen most commonly in older patients where the patient’s intellectual and thinking capacities are irretrievably lost. Except for rare exceptions, the condition is incurable.

Advanced dementia is a life limiting condition, and many victims are cared for in hospice at the end of their lives.

Often family members become angry and confused when a family member with dementia dies from pneumonia, or another “treatable” illness. The fact is that all dementia patients die from complications of the disease, such as infections or breathing problems, or other conditions such as heart failure.

Sometimes, if the patient is treated with aggressive measures, the infection, for example, can be overcome. But frequently the course of treatment itself is very hard and leaves dementia patients in a more depleted condition. At some point, family members realize “enough is enough” and ask the doctor to provide only comfort medications or treatments

and hospice care.

This disease, or set of diseases, is hard on family and loved ones, maybe harder even than on the patient. It’s very difficult to watch as a parent or grandparent become more forgetful, more confused, and slowly become less the person they once were, the person we remember. This is hard for family members to watch, and everyone deals with it in their own way, some better than others.

Families need to come together when someone is diagnosed with dementia.

Talking to doctors about the disease can be helpful, and oftentimes counseling is indispensible in coming to terms with uncomfortable emotions and behaviors brought out during such a stressful period. Hospice has multi-disciplinary teams for dementia patients including trained counselors who deal with such problems on a regular basis. To learn more, please call Joliet Area Community Hospice today – this community’s clear choice for hospice care.

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS Flint crisis reaches Capitol playing into extremists’ hands.

Inserting himself into a debate Hill, and it’s a blame game

WASHINGTON – Government officials tangled on Wednesday over who was to blame for the crisis in Flint, Michigan, that allowed lead-contaminated water to flow to thousands of residents at a combative congressional hearing that devolved into a partisan fight over witnesses and no-shows.

“A failure of epic proportions,” said Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee at the first Capitol Hill hearing since the crisis in Flint emerged last year.

Joel Beauvais, acting water chief for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, said Michigan officials ignored federal advice to treat Flint water for corrosion-causing elements last year and delayed for months before telling the public about the health risks.

“What happened in Flint was avoidable and never should have happened,” Beauvais told the House panel.

Obama visits U.S. mosque

CATONSVILLE, Md. – President Barack Obama sought Wednesday to correct what he called a “hugely distorted impression” of Muslim-Americans as he made his first visit to a U.S. mosque.

He said those who demonize all Muslims for the acts of a few are

that has ricocheted in the presidential campaign, Obama told parishioners at a mosque outside Baltimore that he’d heard from young Muslims worried they’ll be rounded up and kicked out of the country. He said Muslims, too, are concerned about the threat of terrorism but are too often blamed as a group “for the violent acts of the very few.”

“We’ve seen children bullied, we’ve seen mosques vandalized,” Obama said, warning that such unequal treatment for certain groups in society tears at the nation’s fabric. “That’s not who we are.”

U.S. Zika case sparks questions

NEW YORK – A sexually transmitted case of Zika in Texas has scientists scrambling to understand how much of a risk infection through sex is for the usually mosquito-spread illness.

Experts still stress that mosquitoes are the main culprit in the Zika epidemic menacing Latin America and looming over the United States.

“Mosquitoes would be the great river of transmission, while sexual transmission is going to be akin to a mountain stream,” said Dr. William Schaffner, an infectious disease expert at Vanderbilt University.

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump speaks Wednesday during a campaign rally in Little Rock, Ark.

Donald Trump calls for Iowa election do-over

BY JILL COLVIN and BILL BARROW The Associated Press

NASHUA, N.H. – Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is accusing rival Ted Cruz of stealing the Iowa caucuses and is demanding a do-over.

“Based on the fraud committed by Senator Ted Cruz during the Iowa Caucus, either a new election should take place or Cruz results nullified,” Trump tweeted Wednesday.

“Ted Cruz didn’t win Iowa, he stole it. That is why all of the polls were so wrong and why he got far more votes than anticipated,” he wrote.

The inflammatory accusation marked a reversal for Trump, who on Monday night delivered a concession speech thanking Iowans for his second-place finish and congratulating Cruz. On Tuesday night in New Hampshire, he told reporters he was “very happy with what happened in Iowa.”

But by Wednesday, Trump was laying out a list of accusations. He pointed to a mailer sent by the Cruz campaign headlined “voting violation” and resembling an official notice.

The mailer showed recipients their history of voting or not in past caucuses, along with the turnout record of their neighbors, and drew complaints from Iowa’s secretary of state.

Trump also called out Cruz backers for circulating a false rumor Monday night that Ben Carson was dropping out of the race as caucusing was underway.

“Actually, I think I came in first,” Trump told supporters at a rally that drew thousands

in Little Rock, Arkansas, on Wednesday evening, suggesting the rumors may have given Cruz a winning edge. “Oh that voter fraud!”

Iowa Rep. Steve King, a national co-chairman of Cruz’s campaign, wrote on Twitter Monday evening: “Looks like [Carson] is out. ... Skipping NH & SC is the equivalent of suspending. Too bad this information won’t get to all caucus goers.” Carson has called the comments “dirty tricks.”

Cruz spokesman Rick Tyler told CNN on Wednesday that Cruz apologized personally to Carson for the mistake. He said the Cruz team “as a campaign” never alleged Carson was dropping out.

“It may be that some of the surrogates or some of our caucus precinct captains ... went too far,” Tyler told CNN. If so, he added, “that was in error, that was wrong.”

Cruz, meanwhile, laughed off the attacks, and questioned Trump’s readiness to be commander-in-chief.

“I wake up every day and laugh at the latest thing Donald has tweeted because he’s losing it. We need a commander-in-chief and not a twitterer-and-chief,” said Cruz, who said his two young daughters are “better behaved than a presidential candidate who responds by insulting everyone every day when he loses.”

“I understand that Donald finds it very hard to lose. That he finds that very difficult for him,” he added. “But at the end of the day the people of Iowa spoke. Donald Trump guaranteed a victory in Iowa and then he lost. And he doesn’t like that. And his reaction is that he breaks down, he really has problems.”

Anger no match for joy in March for Life

WASHINGTON – Every year, for as long as I can remember, the annual March for Life is about the same: Joyful high-school and college students flood Washington, D.C., in buses. And a few angry counter-protesters show up around the Supreme Court.

I’m pretty used to the routine. And yet, I wasn’t prepared for this year’s annual anti-abortion rally.

“Blood-curdling” comes closest to describing the scene. The anger on display by the small band of pro-choice counter-protesters was so intense that I imagined the terror of hell. The shrieks seemed to be coming out of such deep wounds and mammoth fury.

As the pro-life marchers made their way up Capitol Hill, a group in white and black descended upon the Supreme Court, seemingly bent on drowning out all other voices. At that particular moment, members of the Charismatic Episcopal Church were praying for an end to abortion and those hurt by it. They expressed their love and prayers for those who were screaming at them.

The counter-protesters seemed to have missed that March for Life’s theme this year was about loving both a pregnant woman and her child. They didn’t seem to be interested in the older woman with the “I Regret My Abortion” placard.

The demonstration outside the Court – in all its crude, rude, anger – was a cry out for help, and not in the way intended.

During the same week, Marist polling commissioned by the Knights of Columbus showed that two-thirds of those who describe themselves as pro-choice want some restrictions on abortion. One-third of them, in fact, say that abortion is morally wrong.

The “pro-life” label, in other words, doesn’t tell the whole story. People want to know that women in tough situations have the help they need, have choices. Choice should not be pressure to abort. Choice should be what former Cosmo writer Sue Ellen Browder described during a March for Life panel as interconnecting bonds of loving support.

Every year before the March for Life, high school and college students move into the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception adjacent to the campus of the Catholic University of America, my

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

VIEWS Kathryn Jean Lopez alma mater, where they hold a vigil.

Talking to these students, Archbishop of New York Cardinal Timothy Dolan told the story of a scared mother who left her newborn in the crib of a Nativity display in a Catholic Church in Queens. The mother told a reporter: “I’m very religious, so right away I thought of my church, Holy Child Jesus. I go there a lot, and the priests and people are so good. I just knew if I left him in God’s hands, my baby would be OK. So, I ran into my church and put him in the empty crib. Then he started crying. I just hoped he was warm enough. I hid in the back of church, knowing Father would find my baby and the people would help him.”

Dolan, who is head of the office of the bishops’ conference devoted to pro-life ministry and education, said: “God bless that baby – who I hear is doing well and is named Jose after the foster father of Jesus; God bless that frightened young mom who refused to believe in what Pope Francis has termed our ‘throwaway culture’; God bless Holy Child Jesus Parish in Queens for radiating such a spirit of welcome, joy, warmth and outreach that our Mexican mother spontaneously knew her baby would be safe there; God bless this culture of life!”

It’s that welcome that will end abortion in America. People knowing there is support for those who choose life.

There is nothing more self-destructive than turning in on ourselves, lashing out, doubling down on a politics that pits a mother against her child. The shrill sounds of counter-protest seemed to betray the unhappiness at its heart, especially in such stark contrast with the joy and hope that overflowed from those who want to help, and in many cases provide that help in the work of their everyday lives.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Legalize marijuana

To the Editor: Our state is in financial crisis. The governor isn’t delivering on any of his promises, and Michael Madigan is perfectly happy to continue with the status quo. We’re drowning in debt and can’t fund the pension system.

It’s time to look to the west for the answer. Illinois should legalize marijuana. In January 2015, Colorado collected $2 million in taxes on the sale of pot. We have the farmers and the land to grow it. People are already smoking it, so why not cash in on it? Sell it, tax it and reap the profits before other states beat us to it.

Instead of arresting people and incarcerating them (at taxpayers’ expense),

why not do as Colorado has done?

Hal Choisser Channahon

Why spend for new courthouse?

To The Editor: A new courthouse – what a joke! A cost of $100 million to $120 million. For what?

They could rehab it; why waste taxpayer money?

Look at the Old Silver Cross Hospital, they let it sit and rot, build it up, bought homeowners out. What a waste! They will in a couple of years end up knocking it down.

P.S. Lottery money was for schools. My opinion, greedy government.

GIRLS BASKETBALL: MARIST 69, JOLIET CATHOLIC 46

THE ULTIMATE BAD START JCA girls fall behind Marist 22-1 and are unable to make it close

By DICK GOSS

dgoss@shawmediacom JOLIET – That’s not the way it was supposed to go.

The girls basketball game between Marist and Joliet Catholic on Wednesday night was a battle for second place behind Benet in the East Suburban Catholic Conference.

But by early in the second quarter, the visiting RedHawks enjoyed a 22-1 lead. JCA senior guards Nicole Ekhomu and Kaitlyn Williams stopped the bleeding temporarily with back-toback 3-pointers, but the Angels never got closer than 13 points the rest of the

way as Marist went on to win, 69-46.

“They’re big. We wanted to play a pack-in man and make it tough for them to get the ball in the lane,” Angels coach Nick Leonard said. “We wanted to see how they would shoot from outside, and they shot it very well.

“Part of it had to do with our closeouts being slow. We weren’t getting out on the shooters as quickly as we needed to.”

Marist (19-8, 5-1) hit 7 of 13 shots from beyond the arc while outrebounding the smaller Angels, 25-7, in the opening half, which ended with the RedHawks on top, 34-14.

Pressing in an attempt to make it

a game, JCA (12-8, 3-2) got as close as 14 points twice in the third quarter.

But Marist broke down the press and converted easy baskets on the other end often enough to maintain a sizable lead.

“We had to go 94 feet,” Leonard said. “Everyone saw what the score was. We did not want to reflect on it, we wanted to look forward.

“Our girls played beyond exhaustion. They really played hard.”

JCA missed all 11 shots in the first quarter and finished the game at 16 of 52, a 30.8 percent clip. Ekhomu closed with 24 points, 18 in the second half.

She hit 2 of 11 shots in the first half and

9 of 25 overall, including 3 of 9 from 3-point range.

“Our wings did not get out on their shooters quick enough, and it sure didn’t help that we missed every fieldgoal attempt in the first quarter,” Leonard said. “They made it hard for Nicole to get the ball into the paint, and she wasn’t making those spectacular shots that she often makes.”

Andrianna Acosta, as usual, was among the game-long hustlers for the Angels and finished with 11 points and 11 rebounds. Williams chipped in eight points.

26 BOYS BASKETBALL: BOLINGBROOK 68, JOLIET WEST 61

Raiders build big lead, holds off Tigers

By CURT HERRON

cherron@shawmedia.com BOLINGBROOK – Devon Sams doesn’t usually carry the scoring burden for Bolingbrook’s boys basketball team.

But the opportunity presented itself in Wednesday’s SouthWest Suburban Conference Blue clash with Joliet West and the senior guard rose to the occasion.

Sams scored 19 points to help the Raiders grab a 20-point advantage in the third quarter and they hung on down the stretch to capture a 68-61 victory over the Tigers.

“We have a good chemistry going in these last few games,” Sams said. “I don’t get to beat those shots or beat my man off the dribble if my teammates aren’t moving or finding me on the open swing. We knew coming in that we were going to go through some growing pains at the beginning. We know that when we get it going, it’s going to be

scary for a lot of teams.

“They’re a good team so at halftime all we were saying was that they were coming out in the third and fourth quarter and throw their punch because they don’t quit. They take pride in playing us just like we take pride in playing them. The plan was to put it on them right off and we did that. We were able to withstand their run and came out with a ‘W’ in the end.”

The Raiders (9-9, 5-3) outscored the Tigers (13-7, 4-4) 20-10 in the second quarter to build up a 31-18 halftime lead. West only made 7-of-26 shots from the floor in the opening half while turning the ball over 10 times.

“It’s probably the last time that I’ll say it, but we’re still young and we play immature a lot,” Tigers coach Nick DiForti said. “We made an effort to get the ball inside in the second half and did a way better job of that. It’s very evident what people how they like to play us, but at the same time, when we get our guys going, we’re a tough team to play.

“When we turn up the intensity, we do a lot of good things so never count us out for that reason and at the same time, we’ve got guys who can put the ball in the basket. But at the same time, you can’t play catch up against a good team, because when you do, obviously it doesn’t always go in your favor. And that’s what we did by starting off the game really flat.”

Bolingbrook used a 7-0 run shortly after halftime, which featured five points from Sams (six rebounds), to grab a 41-21 lead. Another bucket from Sams made it 43-23 with 3:16 left in that quarter before the Tigers began their long rally, which saw them close to within 49-33 with a quarter left.

With Trevian Bell (seven rebounds) collecting 20 of his game-high 24 points in the final half, the Tigers managed to get the deficit down to single digits but were unable to get any closer than six points back the rest of the way.

“You wish that you could play it over,” Bell said. “We picked it up in the

second, half, which was a good thing, but the beginning of the game is what really killed us. We started getting to the hole in the second half, which helped with the comeback, but the deep range wasn’t there for any of us, and even some of our better shooters weren’t knocking them down.”

The Raiders also got 10 points from Antowine Locke, nine points and seven rebounds from Nana Akenten and eight points each from Brandon Lawani (eight boards) and Zachery Grady. The Tigers also got eight points apiece from Elijah Ward (10 rebounds) and Teyvion Kirk, while Mike Smith chipped in with seven points.

“We did a really job on the glass, which is one of the things that we talked about,” Raiders coach Rob Brost said.

“We also talked about keeping them out of the lane and also did that pretty effectively in the first half. And we wanted to get to the lane and get to the glass, which we also did. We’re beating some good teams, especially recently.”

• JCA

Continued from page 25 JCA is playing without starting guard Mia Farrell, who is nursing a shoulder sprain.

“Mia being out is huge,” Leonard said. “We are hoping she can start basketball stuff next Tuesday and Wednesday. She should be ready to go in the regional.

“She really wants to play next Wednesday, which is our senior night. She is supposed to get out of the sling Friday. We’ll see what her range of motion is and what the doctor says.”

The Angels also have been without junior guard Michelle Robert for two months with a labrum issue, and junior forward Kendall Spreitzer has a medical condition that kept her out of Wednesday’s game.

“We had some players out there tonight who were out the last week,” Leonard said. “They showed some fatigue. We had some breakdowns.

“We just have to get back on track.

These are the type of teams we have to beat if we’re going to be the team we want to be.”

Marist received a game-high 27 points from 6-foot forward Julia Ruzevich, who finished at the rim on many of the RedHawks’ press breaks Larry W. Kane for Shaw Media and was 10 of 14 from the floor. She entered averaging just under 10 Joliet Catholic Academy’s Molly Hibmer drives to the basket for a layup in front of Marist’s Tehya Fortune on Wednesday at Joliet Catholic Academy High School in Joliet.

Twelve total students signed letters of intent to compete in collegiate athletics.

hit people,” said Witt, who also visited South Dakota State and was planning to visit Columbia before deciding Western Kentucky was it.

“It reminded me of the family environment we have here,” he said.

Krish, an inside linebacker, considered South Dakota and Army, where Joliet Central graduate Jeff Monken is the head coach, before deciding on Air Force.

“I did a lot of research, and the Air Force is a great opportunity,” he said.

“It’s a good deal I’m getting myself into, and they play good football in the Mountain West.”

Krisch said much of his freshman season probably will be spent “learn-

ing and adjusting to the military part of it. Football players kind of get out of the military part because there isn’t time for everything, but you do have to go through basic training.”

Furcron, who said he may major in criminal justice or sports management, waited to make sure Southern Illinois was for him after coach Dale Lennon was fired in late November.

“When I saw coach [Nick] Hill was hired, I jumped on board,” he said. “I love the campus and will love playing there.”

Furcron is looking forward to playing on the defensive line alongside Minooka’s Blake Parzych, who also signed Wednesday. “Blake and I have

worked out together at Rudy’s [Gym],” Furcron said.

As for Aguirre, he was smiling as usual.

“This was good,” he said. “It’s exciting, and better things are ahead for all of us.”

Aguirre said he wanted to see where he fit in football-wise and academically at schools he considered, and “Western Michigan was it. It feels like home, just like playing here. They were willing to wait for me to make up my mind for sure. They didn’t rush me. I liked that.”

Aguirre, whose forte is quickness, fueled by a motor that never stops, said he weighs 310 pounds and the Broncos have talked to him about playing at about 315.

Johnson, who rushed for nearly 2,000 yards as a senior, said he “is ready to rock and roll as a freshman” at Missouri Southern State. “The big thing is, I am getting a full ride,” he said.

Not on the program until the spring signing, but recently committed nonetheless, is defensive end Luke Mander, who will play at St. Francis.

The soccer player cited Wednesday was Jared Olson, who will play at NCAA Division II Colorado School of Mines.

“It’s been a joy coaching Jared the last four years,” JCA soccer coach Tom Cranmer said. “He’s one of the smartest players I have coached. It’s going to be weird not having him.”

JOLIET – Saint Xavier football coach Mike Feminis marveled at the size of the crowd.

“I’ve been coming to these for years, and I have never seen a crowd like this,” he said.

The national letter-of-intent signing at Joliet Catholic Academy on Wednesday afternoon indeed was one for the record books. Eleven football players and a soccer player were feted, and well wishers abounded.

Dan Sharp, JCA’s athletic director and football coach, recognized the parents of the athletes, but he missed one.

Running back Michael Johnson mentioned the omission of his mom and dad.

“I was blinded by your suit, Mike,” Sharp quipped.

Later, when it came time to discuss Johnson, who will play at NCAA Division II Missouri Southern State, Sharp said, “I’m glad my suit fits you.”

Johnson was wearing a red and gray plaid suit with a bright red tie. Along with wingback Harold Davis’ bow tie, they were the fashion hits.

“Their personalities figured into it,” offensive tackle Tyler Witt said.

“That suit is a good look for Michael. It wouldn’t work for me.”

Four JCA football players signed with NCAA Division I programs: Witt (Western Kentucky), linebacker Brad Krish (Air Force), lineman Ze’Veyon Furcron (Southern Illinois) and defensive lineman Ken Aguirre (Western Michigan).

On the NAIA level, Davis is moving on to play for Feminis at Saint Xavier and center Rick Fleming will play at Grand View.

Four Hilltoppers are headed to NCAA Division III schools: linebacker Keaton Coleman (Wisconsin-Stevens Point); defensive end Zach Lukasik (Coast Guard), cornerback Luke Phelan (Augustana) and safety Bill Rotnicki (University of Chicago).

Sharp talked about each in glowing terms. Most observers agree the Hilltoppers, who lost in the Class 5A quarterfinals last November to eventual champion Nazareth, were among the state’s best teams.

“It’s nice to get us all together like this one last time,” Witt said of Wednesday’s gathering.

Witt, who will study mechanical engineering, said he will be moved to offensive guard and probably be red-shirted as a freshman at Western Kentucky, which finished 12-2 and beat South Florida in the Miami Beach Bowl this past season.

“Guard is fine, as long as I get to

O’Hara to Penn the headliner at Providence

By DICK GOSS

dgoss@shawmedia.com NEW LENOX – For a variety of reasons, Providence did not enjoy its usual success on the football field last fall.

The Celtics, facing a difficult schedule, suffered devastating injuries and finished 3-6.

However, that does not mean there were not a number of quality seniors on the Celtics’ roster. Six of them were cited Wednesday morning during the national letter-of-intent signing day ceremony in the school gymnasium.

From coach Mark Coglianese’s program, linebacker Brendan O’Hara committed to Pennsylvania in the Ivy League. The jack of all trades, wide receiver/slot receiver/running back/kick returner Mike Markasovic, signed to play for coach Mike Feminis at Saint Xavier.

In addition, offensive lineman Tom Younker signed with Bemidji State, defensive lineman David Charnot cast his lot with Upper Iowa and defensive lineman Michael Falejczyk, who missed much of his senior season with an injury, signed with St. Francis. Soccer standout and football kicker P.J. Kowalkowski committed to attend Lewis and continue his soccer career.

Providence football players who signed or officially committed to colleges Wednesday were (bottom, from left) David Charnot (Upper Iowa), Tom Younker (Bemidji State) and Michael Falejczyk (St. Francis); (back Brendan O’Hara (Pennsylvania), P.J. Kowalkowski (Lewis, where he will continue his soccer career), Mike Markasovic (Saint Xavier) and coach Mark Coglianese. ficult for the Celtics on the gridiron, but all the football players involved in Wednesday’s ceremony were contributors on the 2014 Class 7A state championship team. In addition, all of them are

excellent students.

“These young men have all received a great education and they have used that along with their athletic abilities to help them get to the next level,” Coglianese said. “They also have the distinction of leaving Providence Catholic with a state championship ring on their finger and a banner on the wall.

“They have all left their mark in a very positive way. There are bigger and better things ahead for each of them and I am honored that I was able to be a part of their lives for their four years at Providence.”

O’Hara is an all-stater and also is a member of the Providence baseball team that is the two-time defending Class 4A state champion.

Asked if he plans to play baseball again this spring, he smiled and said, “You’re going to have to ask coach [Mark] Smith that question. I’m going to try out.”

O’Hara said he considered two other Ivy League schools, Columbia and Dartmouth. He also attended a camp at Harvard, where he met and talked with outgoing Crimson captain and fellow linebacker Matt Koran, a Joliet West graduate.

“One of my dad’s best friends went to school at Penn,” O’Hara said, detailing his decision. “I heard all about it, and I

really liked it. It’s where I wanted to be.

“The opportunity to attend at a school like that would be so hard to pass up. All the hard work in the classroom, in the weight room and on the field is all coming together here today.”

“Brendan had quite a career, and this caps it off,” Coglianese said. “This shows how important education is in his life and how he stressed the right things at Providence.”

Saint Xavier’s Feminis always recruits the Joliet area. Markasovic and JCA’s Harold Davis, whom he also signed Wednesday, are the versatile type of players who fit so well in the Cougars’ spread offense.

“Mike can play a lot of positions,” Feminis said of Markasovic. “I love his versatility. We can use him in a lot of ways.”

Markasovic’s older brother Frank played right guard for Feminis and the Cougars. He was a freshman, and played in the game when Saint Xavier won the NAIA national title in 2011.

“I was there in Georgia to see them win it,” Markasovic said. “It was exciting. I’m anxious to get [to Saint Xavier] and get started.”

Coglianese said the Celtics may not be finished with college signings. “We could have a few more down the road,” he said.

Seven Plainfield East athletes sign with colleges on National Signing Day

By CURT HERRON

cherron@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – Wednesday’s college signing ceremony at Plainfield East definitely featured a wide range of emotions.

There were the anticipated happy moments when the seven college-bound student athletes got the chance to enjoy the event with one another as well as family and friends.

But there also were times where an individual got a little choked up or had to wipe away a tear as they thanked the many people who helped them reach their goal.

With six of the athletes moving on in football, the ceremony took on an even more special feeling to those individuals from coach Mike Romeli’s program.

One girls soccer player also took part in the event that was attended by a nice crowd of fellow students.

Football players who will continue their athletic careers and educations are Isaiah Bryant, Solomon Kamara, Dylan Koch, Donald Manning, Troy Mayon and Lemond Singleton while the soccer player is Maria Guilfoyle.

Manning and Koch will play in Division I FBS with both going to Ball State University.

“You get caught up in the process and then it all hits you.

You can’t be more thankful and all of the work that you’ve put in was all worth it. We were with these guys all of the time for practices and games so it was nice to get to experience this together.”

Dylan Koch

Plainfield East football player

“After years of putting in hard work and dedication with my brothers, it finally paid off, “Manning said. “To decide where I’m going to go for the next four years was a very humbling experience. The coaching staff at Ball State took a chance on me and I’ll be forever grateful for that. So I want to go there and do some great things.”

Koch also is happy to continue his career and education at Ball State.

“You get caught up in the process

and then it all hits you,” Koch said.

“You can’t be more thankful and all of the work that you’ve put in was all worth it. We were with these guys all of the time for practices and games so it was nice to get to experience this together. I’m pretty excited to be able to go to Ball State along with Donald.”

Kamara will compete in Division I FCS at Valparaiso University.

“It’s a blessing to be able to play Division I football,” Kamara said. “I’m so grateful and thankful for all of the things that have happened in my life.

This wasn’t just me, it was the help of everyone around me, and I really appreciate this. It made it so much sweeter to see my brothers get this opportunity to excel at the next level.”

Singleton also will be in D-I FCS, where he’ll play at Missouri State University.

“I feel blessed to be able to play football, especially in Division I,” Singleton said. “I really appreciate my family and want to thank everybody for helping me through this process and I appreciate the school for putting this together. Seeing all of my brothers who were here playing football is a big deal.”

Mayon will play Division II at Northern Michigan University, where he’ll join his brother Jake.

“I’m so excited,” Mayon said. “My brother has been my biggest role model and he’s always pushed me so I’m glad that I’ll get to play four more years with him. I really enjoy being with him since he’s my best friend, so it’s going to be fun. The emotions were high today and I didn’t expect that. I’m very excited and can’t wait to experience college.”

Bryant will continue his career in the NAIA at Robert Morris University.

“This is probably one of the greatest opportunities that I’ve ever had in my life,” Bryant said. “Being here today is all because of my parents. We’ve had to overcome struggles so I’m grateful since all of my successes are because of my parents and my family. I wouldn’t have asked for any other guys to play with the last four years than these guys.”

Gulifoyle also will compete in the NAIA when she plays at Olivet Nazarene University.

“I’m so thankful to be able to continue my athletic and academic career at Olivet, and also to grow spiritually there,” Guilfoyle said. “It’s a big deal to me so I’m very grateful to get this opportunity. This was very special and to hear everyone else’s speeches was nice.

I’m very excited to start things at Olivet in the summer.”

Illinois football coach Bill Cubit (right) looks over paperwork with Matt Wheeler, chairman of the athletic director search committee Wednesday during national signing day at Memorial Stadium in Champaign.

The ASSOCIATED PRESS CHAMPAIGN – Illinois might have had the strangest recruiting season of any major school in the country, and coach Bill Cubit and his staff had to scramble to fill out a class.

A half-dozen players decommitted after the school removed the interim tag from Cubit’s title and gave him only a two-year contract.

Cubit and his staff wound up filling most of those open spots and bringing in a class of 25 players that is light on home-state players (just two, compared with five from Florida) but is still ranked higher than Big Ten rivals Indiana, Rutgers and Purdue. He said the team still has “a couple” of scholarships available.

The departure of linebackers Mason Monheim to graduation and T.J. Neal to a transfer left the Illini bare at the position, but 6-1, 230-pound Dele Harding should help fill that need.

Illinois could also address what for several years has been sometimes painfully inconsistent place-kicking with the addition of James McCourt, one of the top kickers in the country despite a background in rugby.

Northwestern

EVANSTON – Northwestern’s offense was the worst in the Big Ten last season, scoring 19.5 points per game.

And the 45-6 loss to Tennessee in the Outback Bowl soured some of the good feelings of a 10-3 season.

Coach Pat Fitzgerald’s signing-day class, announced Wednesday, could address at least some of the team’s offensive shortcomings.

The Wildcats added a pair of promising targets for quarterback Clayton

Thorson in receivers Riley Lees from Libertyville, Illinois, and Bennett Skowronek of Fort Wayne, Indiana.

At 6-3 and 205 pounds, Skowronek should provide a big, athletic downfield option. In high school, the 6-foot, 185-pound Lees was a dual-threat quarterback.

Northwestern also added needed depth on defense, where four of the team’s top-10 tacklers last season were seniors. The Wildcats were a solid fourth in the Big Ten in scoring defense, giving up 18.5 points a game.

Fitzgerald added three defensive backs, three linebackers and three defensive linemen.

Notre Dame

SOUTH BEND, Ind. – Notre Dame, hurt repeatedly this past season by big plays, tried to shore up its secondary by signing seven defensive backs among the 24 recruits added to the roster on Wednesday.

The Irish lose starting cornerback KeiVarae Russell and starting safety Elijah Shumate and return starting safety Max Redfield, who struggled at times last season and was sent home from the Fiesta Bowl for violating team rules. Things got so bad in the secondary late in the season that receiver Torii Hunter Jr. took some snaps at nickel back. Coach Brian Kelly explained the move at the time by saying, “We couldn’t trade for a nickel.”

The highest-rated defensive backs to sign were cornerback Troy Pride Jr. and safety Donte Vaughn. The Irish also signed three linebackers to help fill the void left by the losses of Joe Schmidt and Jaylon Smith, and three receivers to help replace Will Fuller, Chris Brown and Amir Carlisle.

A Catholic culture of excellence Lockport school receives third national award in 5 years

By DENISE M. BARAN–UNLAND dunland@shawmedia.com LOCKPORT – Although St. Joseph is a small school in a small parish, it’s attracting big attention and a national award – its third since 2010.

The Rev. Greg Rothfuchs, pastor at St. Joseph Parish, gives all the credit to Lynne Scheffler, principal at St. Joseph School for the past 15 years.

“She’s the one that sets the tone for the culture, ensures the teachers are high quality and ensures they get ongoing training – particularly in newer methods related to technology,” Rothfuchs said. “She’s the captain at the helm and the school shows it.

She sets the standards of excellence and the expec- Lynne tation that has to be met.”

Scheffler In 2010, St. Joseph was recognized as a National Blue Ribbon School by the U.S. Department of Education. Last year, Rothfuchs received the Distinguished Pastor Award from the National Catholic Educational Association.

On Jan. 26, the NCEA announced Scheffler will be awarded the 2016 Lead, Learn, Proclaim Award in March. According to an NCEA news release, only 32 educators in the United States will receive this award and only eight are principals.

Rothfuchs praised Scheffler as an educator and leader. He is not surprised the NCEA acknowledged her. “[Scheffler] fosters a sense of family and community that’s really outstanding,” Rothfuchs said. “People from other parishes have said there is a real sense of connectedness that you don’t see in a lot of places; it’s really unique.”

The Rev. John Belmonte, superintendent of Catholic schools for the Diocese of Joliet, said all three awards are well-deserved. Belmonte said St. Joseph is a great school because it has great leadership: Rothfuchs, Scheffler and the parents.

“People at the national level are recognizing it,” Belmonte said.

St. Joseph gets an upgrade

Scheffler said St. Joseph School first applied for the National Blue Ribbon School award in 2008 once she realized Catholic schools qualified. Because competition is “extremely tough,” Scheffler wasn’t disappointed or dismayed when

St. Joseph didn’t win in 2008.

However, after Scheffler said she learned the school missed the top 10 by one point for the 2009 award, she looked for ways to improve and decided to focus on technology. That same year, St. Joseph implemented a one-toone laptop program for the junior high school students. It then expanded that program in 2010.

St. Joseph then introduced laptops for the students to take home every day, which opened up time in the technology lab. Scheffler said she also added curriculum to teach children how to be good online citizens and safely navigate the Internet.

Scheffler’s efforts brought results.

Today the students in preschool through second grade participate in an iPad program, kindergarten students can code and third-graders learn

Excel, Scheffler said. Very young students have the skills to research and write about a topic, as well as download pictures into PowerPoint, she added.

“Think of the skills a 6-year-old is using in one activity,” Scheffler said, “and they love it.”

The heart of the school

In a way, Scheffler is merely giving back to the community that formed her academically and spiritually. Scheffler said she attended St. Mary Nativity School in Joliet followed by Joliet Catholic Academy, which shaped her study habits and prepared her to do well in college.

Eventually Scheffler “fell in love with teaching” but wanted to teach more than just “reading, writing and the wonders of science.”

“I fell in love with being able to share my faith and my values and how family and children grow in their Catholic faith,” Scheffler said. “That’s what’s always been important to me.”

A key component to St. Joseph’s success is Rothfuchs. Rothfuchs can join the preschool students in their activities and then easily switch to teaching the junior high school students.

“We call him our compass,” Scheffler. “He is the true North that leads us to Christ.”

Finally, Scheffler said the teachers create an amiable atmosphere of learning children can’t resist. They want to grow; they want to succeed.

“They want to get on the honor society,” Scheffler said. “They want to be known as good Catholics and Christians and friends.”

THE HERALD-NEWS JOLIET – Sisters Margaret Hoffman and Lucille Krippel were recently honored for the dedicated service at their varied ministries. Both of these sisters are members of the Congregation of the Sisters of St. Francis of Mary Immaculate, more commonly known as the Joliet Franciscan Sisters.

Sister Margaret Hoffman was recently honored by the Diocese of Columbus (Ohio) Department of Education for her dedication to Catholic Education.

A native of Columbus, Hoffman has taught high school English for more than 50 years. When Hoffman first en-

liturgies and serves as the local chapter coordinator for several of the Joliet Franciscan Sisters who live in Ohio and Michigan.

Sister Lucille Krippel Sister Lucille received the Sister Myra Krippel James Bradley Award by the Penrose-St. Francis Health Foundation. This annual award is given to an individual who has selflessly helped fulfill the foundation’s mission.

Krippel served in schools for many years before being named the administrator of Joliet’s Guardian Angel Home

in 1971, where she served until 1976. In 1980, Krippel moved to Colorado, where she served in parish ministry for the Diocese of Colorado Springs. Krippel then became the director of what is now Catholic Charities in that diocese.

After returning to Joliet for a few years to serve as CEO of Joliet Catholic Academy (JCA), Krippel went back to Colorado and joined Penrose-St. Francis Health Services as the director of mission effectiveness and spiritual care.

In 2007, Krippel joined the planning committee for the John Zay Guest House and became the house manager a year later, a position she still holds today.

PUZZLES SUDOKU

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

The abnormal makes life more difficult

CELEBRITY CIPHER

William James, who, inter alia, was the first academician to offer a psychology course in the United States, said, “To study the abnormal is the best way of understanding the normal.”

That is a great guideline for bridge.

It is the abnormal that has kept the game alive. Today, South is in three no-trump. West leads a fourth-highest heart seven. East wins with his ace and returns the heart nine. How should declarer continue?

You try to avoid rebidding immediately in a five-card suit, but two clubs is South’s best rebid. He cannot bid two hearts, because that would be a reverse promising some 17-20 points.

Instead, one no-trump is possible, but debatable with two low diamonds.

When North rebids two diamonds, which is forcing for one round, South continues with two no-trump, and North raises.

South starts with seven top tricks: one spade, one heart, three diamonds and two clubs. He can get two more winners from clubs, but might first lose four hearts and one club. What is the solution?

If declarer plays either his heart five or jack on East’s nine, he will win the third or fourth heart with his king.

Then he will have to turn to clubs, but here West will get in with his queen and cash the rest of the hearts for down one.

Instead of making the normal holdup play, South should do the abnormal by winning the second heart with his king. Then he crosses to dummy with a diamond and runs the club nine. Yes, the finesse loses, but West cannot cash his hearts, because declarer still has the jack-five.

not as much glucose is driven into the cells, and more stays in the blood. As glucose starts to build up in the blood, the pancreas makes extra insulin to maintain a normal blood sugar. The cycle escalates. Finally, the pancreas cannot keep up with the demand for more and more insulin.

As a result, blood glucose levels remain elevated.

Prediabetes signals the cells of your body are starting to have trouble extracting glucose from the blood. But you still can reverse course. Lifestyle changes are your best strategy.

If you are overweight, losing just 5 to 10 percent of your starting weight can help greatly improve your blood sugar. Eating healthy foods, but reducing the calorie count, is one part of this.

It’s also important to exercise regularly and stay physically active throughout the day. Even if it doesn’t help you to lose weight, regular physical activity will reduce your risk of getting diabetes.

If you’re a regular reader of this column, you won’t be surprised by this advice. I frequently urge a healthy lifestyle. But you might not realize just how powerful regular exercise, achieving a healthy weight and a healthy diet can be.

Scientific studies of the strongest type – randomized trials – find people can reduce their risk of developing diabetes by almost 60 percent. No medicine yet developed can give you that protection.

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff

E Y E G L A S S E S

Dear Dr. K: After years of normal blood sugar levels, I’m suddenly in the prediabetes range.

Am I on an irreversible path to Type 2 (adult-onset) diabetes?

Dear Reader: No, you’re not, but you’re facing a challenge. Prediabetes is an early warning signal: You are at higher risk for developing diabetes. But diabetes is not inevitable.

In fact, we know more about how to reduce the risk of getting Type 2 diabetes than we know about preventing most other major diseases.

There are several things you can do to reverse course.

Your blood glucose, or blood sugar, level was likely measured during routine blood work that was part of your physical exam. A normal blood sugar level is less than 100 mg/dL. You are considered to have prediabetes when your blood sugar level is between 100 and 125 milligrams per deciliter of blood (mg/dL) after an eight-hour fast.

You have diabetes if your blood sugar is 126 mg/dL or higher.

If your blood test was done when you had not been fasting, then you might not really have prediabetes. It might be a false alarm.

Let’s start with a brief explanation of how your body breaks down foods.

During digestion, carbohydrates are turned into simple sugars, primarily glucose. To provide energy to cells, glucose needs to leave the blood and get inside the cells.

Insulin, a hormone produced by the pancreas, signals the cells to extract glucose from the blood.

When levels of glucose in the blood rise (for example, after a meal), the pancreas produces more insulin. That drives more glucose into the cells.

Type 2 diabetes occurs when your body’s cells do not react efficiently to insulin. As a result,

Pearls Before Swine

Dear Abby: I am dreading an upcoming trip that includes a visit to my husband’s mother, “Harriet.”

She is prone to “accidents” when I visit, and I always end up getting hurt. Harriet’s “oops” moments usually involve my toes and feet, although the last time I was there she managed to strike my face.

I have taken the precaution of looking up the phone number of the police department in her city, just in case she hits me again.

Is there a way to keep her at arm’s length so she can’t get close enough to punch me? In the 20-plus years I have known Harriet, she always has been a bully. She strikes out at me because I stood up to her. – Appre-

Rose is Rose

Soup to Nutz

The Family Circus

Because this has gone on for 20 years, I’m inclined to agree with your suspicion these “mishaps” haven’t been accidental. An effective way to prevent further injury would be to avoid being in the same town with Harriet. The next time your husband decides to visit her, take a detour and let him deal with his mother.

She sounds like a handful.

Dear Abby: A 30-yearold relative of mine has developed a “germ phobia.”

She constantly applies hand sanitizer and avoids anyone who exhibits any kind of symptoms.

She refused to visit me when I was in the hospital because she thought she might catch something. She was not always like this.

I love her dearly and have no idea what has caused the problem. Is there anything I can do to get her to give up some of the precautions she’s taking – or does she need professional help? – Wor-

ried Relative In Tampa, Florida

Dear Worried Relative: Because you don’t know what has caused her health concerns, I recommend you ask her.

Hand sanitizers are popular because they claim to kill 99 percent of germs and decrease bacteria on the skin. Every time someone opens the door to a public building or presses an elevator button it’s as though that person has shaken hands with everyone who has been there before, so using hand sanitizer seems like good sense to me.

As to your relative not visiting you while you were hospitalized, the reason doctors are reducing the length of hospital stays and are performing so many outpatient procedures is to minimize the germs patients are exposed to in the hospital.

Dear Abby: I just think as a child, I have too many responsibilities to take care of. My mother thinks I am stubborn and not able to take care of myself. What do you think? – Helena, Age 9 Dear Helena: I think

you have a good mother.

The way to teach children responsibility is to place some on their shoulders.

If you learn the lessons of independence your mother is trying to teach you, with time these chores will become easier and less overwhelming.

And you will thank her for them when you’re older.
