Lewis University picks new president

By FELIX SARVER

fsarver@shawmedia.com ROMEOVILLE – A new president will lead Lewis University starting in July.

David Livingston, president of Lourdes University in Sylvanias, Ohio, was selected to succeed Brother James Gaffney, who will retire June 30, university officials announced Monday.

Livingston was chosen following a national search by a search committee and the Lewis University Board of Trustees, according to a Lewis news release.

“As higher education trans- David forms across the nation, we be- Livingston lieve [Livingston] is the best person to lead Lewis University in its mission to provide a Lasallian education,” Russ Smyth, board chairman, stated in the news release.

Livingston said he was excited about the opportunity.

“Lewis is a great institution,” he said Monday.

Livingston has been the Lourdes University president since 2013, and during his tenure

the university experienced an increase in the quality, retention and graduation rates of its students, according to the release.

Lourdes University is a Catholic institution established in 1958 by the Sisters of St. Francis.

Livingston said he spent his entire life in Catholic higher education. Lewis University is one of the strongest Catholic universities in the Chicago area and nationwide, he said.

He said he loves the mission of the Lasallian brothers.

In 1960, the De La Salle Christian Brothers brought to Lewis a new tradition of Lasallian values, based on the teachings of St. John Baptist de La Salle, founder and patron saint of educators, according to the university’s website.

“The Lasallian brothers both here and around the world are very committed to students,” Livingston said.

As president, Livingston said he hopes to be able to continue the great strides Lewis University made under Gaffney, who has worked for the university for 28 years.

Gaffney was inaugurated as Lewis University president in October 1988.

Lockport Gallery, state museum system could reopen ‘in matter of weeks’ if GA approves

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS

lleonecross@shawmedia.com

LOCKPORT – The Illinois State Museum system could reopen “in a matter of weeks” if lawmakers agree with a proposal from the governor’s office that includes charging admission to raise revenue and closing two branches to save money, according to Chris Young, spokesman for the Illinois Department of Natural Resources.

The Lockport Gallery in Lockport, Dickson Mounds Museum in Lewistown, the Illinois Artisans Shop in Chicago and the Illinois State Museum main branch in Springfield would remain open under the plan, but the Chicago Gallery in the James R. Thompson Center and the Southern Illinois Art and Artisans Center in Whittington are slated for closure, Young said in an email.

Gov. Bruce Rauner shuttered museum locations this fall because the state doesn’t have a budget. The state spends $6 million, including $190,000 for Lockport, on the museum system.

The announcement Monday comes three days after Rauner rejected legislation to reopen the museums. Rauner used his veto power to tell lawmakers the main branch and its satellite locations can reopen only if the system gets its own funding through admission fees and dona-

The Lockport Gallery closed its doors Oct. 1, while lawmakers continued to battle over the state’s budget. It could reopen under an agreement reached between the Illinois Department of Natural Resources and the governor’s office. tions.

Lawmakers can grant IDNR the authority to charge entry fees by taking up Rauner’s amendatory veto. If that doesn’t happen, the department can choose to go through the administrative rules process, which would take longer, Young said.

CORRECTIONS

In the fact box that accompanied the article, “School district officials wary of state funding proposal” that was on page 2 of the Sunday, Feb. 7, 2016, edition of The Herald-News, the amount of the local impact for Lockport Township High School District 205 was incorrect. The district would lose $248,399 under a proposed state funding formula.

In the article, “Longtime Plainfield farmer was kind and giving” that was on page 14 of the same edition, it incorrectly stated the name of John H. Phelps’ wife. Her name was Evelyn.

Tuesday will be one of the busiest days of the year at many bakeries

By BOB OKON

bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – It’s Paczki Day on Tuesday, a day that has become one of the biggest days in the bakery business as people in growing numbers indulge in a pre-Lenten pastry that once was primarily a Polish custom.

On Monday afternoon, Milano Bakery was making paczki by the thousands and getting ready for the customers who will line up in the morning outside the door at its Chicago Street store.

There will be strawberry, apple and apricot paczki. As a sample of the growing popularity of the extra-rich filled doughnut, there also will be canoli and maple bacon flavors. Milano has 17 different flavors, including an atomic paczki with Bavarian cream, whipped cream, strawberries, bananas and fudge.

Darin DeBenedetti, part of the family that owns and runs the bakery, couldn’t help but think back to the first Paczki Day at Milano about 20 years ago.

“The baker I had was from Chicago, and he said, ‘We’ve got to start doing this,’ ” DeBenedetti recalled. “We made 300 of them, and I sold 12.”

DeBenedetti said he went up and down Jefferson Street handing out boxes of paczki for free that day at stores and restaurants. But he kept at it, and now Paczki Day is one of the bakery’s busiest days – second only to the days before Christmas.

Milano has been selling them for more than two weeks, sending paczki as far away as to the Grand Victoria Casino in Elgin. Fat Tuesday will be the biggest day, although not necessarily the last.

“It used to be a hard stop because Lent begins on Wednesday,” he said.

“But people will come in for them through the week, so I will keep them in the bakery.”

Polish origins

Paczki Day, which passed without much notice in Joliet 20 years ago, still is not a big deal in many parts of the country.

Bernadette Shanahan-Haas, director of operations for the Retail Bakers Association, said Monday she talked with a baker in Tinley Park who was making 4,000 paczki.

“Then, you talk to a baker in Texas, and they’re not busy at all,” she said.

“It’s all very regional.”

The large Polish population in the Chicago area can’t hurt the promotion of Paczki Day. Stanley Markowski, the Polish own-

er of Joliet Bakery, Deli and Liquors in Joliet, said he sold about 10 times as many paczki when he had a bakery on the Southwest Side of Chicago. Still, Tuesday will be a big day at his Plain-

field Road bakery.

“Tomorrow morning, I will have a lot [of paczki],” Markowski said.

A paczki is like a yeast doughnut, only more so – bigger, creamier and with more filling.

“It’s much richer,” Markowski said.

“Doughnuts are simple. We make them every day.”

At the Donut Den in Joliet, a team of bakers will make paczki overnight in preparation for the big rush Tuesday morning. Many are pre-ordered.

“Recently, they have become more

New principal will lead Plainfield North High

By FELIX SARVER

fsarver@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – Plainfield North High School will have a new principal in July.

Michelle Smith, Plainfield School District 202 board president, announced at a quick Monday board meeting that Ross Draper will replace Ray Epperson.

Draper is the assistant principal for Plainfield North.

“Congratulations,” she said.

Epperson will take on a new administrative role in District 202 next year, she said.

Draper came to District 202 in 2009 as the Plainfield North assistant principal and started his career in 1998 as a physical education teacher at Long Beach Elementary School in Oswego

School District 308, district officials said in a news release.

In the early 2000s, he worked as a physical education, health and driver’s education department chair at Oswego East High School. He was then dean of students at the school from 2005 to 2008.

He was dean of students at West Aurora High School before coming to District 202.

Superintendent Lane Abrell stated in a news release that as an internal candidate, Draper showed throughout the search process that he has the “confidence of the selection committees.”

“In his time at Plainfield North, he has shown his strong communication skills, loyalty and hard work, which have allowed him to develop insights to the needs of the building, population and community,” Abrell stated.

River View Elementary School

Monday’s meeting, which lasted less than 30 minutes following closed session, took place at River View Elementary School.

The building staff gave a presentation to the Board of Education and attendees about their school, which was built in 1999.

River View Principal Tracey Markowski said school’s mission statement “means so much to all of us here.”

The mission of the school is to provide a nurturing environment to students, provide engaged learning experiences for all students and provide a cooperative link between home, school and the community, she said.

“It’s vital for us to establish that on a daily basis,” Markowski said.

Some of the staff spoke about how

they regularly review school data and make decisions based on needs for professional development and school improvement.

The school also provides a culture that supports physical, social, emotional and behavioral health of all students.

“We definitely believe every child’s voice should be heard at River View Elementary,” Markowski said before an audio clip of students singing the “Tiger Pride” song was played.

Next meetings

District 202 schools will not be open on President’s Day and board committee meetings are slated for 6 p.m. Feb. 17.

The next board meeting will be Feb. 22 at the administrative center.

Troy changes redistricting plans for Channahon students

By VIKAAS SHANKER

“It was clear that we were working inconsistently with our own primary purpose to build attendance centers based on geographic proximity.”

vshanker@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Troy students living in the Channahon subdivisions of McClintock Acres and Leland Hills won’t have to switch schools in a major change to the school district’s redistricting plan.

Troy School District 30-C Superintendent Todd Koehl said the decision was made to keep them at Heritage Trail Elementary after receiving and reviewing parent feedback at five public meetings about their students busing to Shorewood Elementary.

“It was clear that we were working inconsistently with our own primary purpose to build attendance centers based on geographic proximity,” Koehl said of the original plan, which was and still is geared to put the schools at the center of their boundaries while keeping class sizes small.

The decision was announced at a special board meeting held Monday at Troy Middle School to allow the school board an opportunity to go over parents’ questions and concerns expressed during the public meetings.

Parents also used the public comment portion of the meeting to reiterate their concerns to about the plan, which if approved at the regular board meeting Feb. 17, will apply redistricting during the 2016-17 school year.

Changes in the plan

In the old redistricting plan presented to parents during the public meetings, a large area around Route 6, from Interstate 55 to the Caterpillar plant,

Troy School District 30-C Superintendent Todd Koehl Monday night at a special board meeting presents changes to the proposed redistricting plan that addresses concerns of parents in the Channahon McClintock Acres and Leland Hills subdivisions. would go to Shorewood to alleviate crowding at Heritage Trail.

Several residents were upset about the fact their child would have to get on I-55 to Route 52 to attend Shorewood.

On Monday, parents had the same concerns.

“These are children that, at best are manageable, but at worst can be quite unmanageable with only one bus driver,” McClintock Acres resident Tracy Denton said, noting the age of the elementary school kids and the truck traffic on I-55.

Denton, and other parents, thanked the board for adjusting the plan.

But with the move to keep those students at Heritage Trail came a domino effect with several other changes.

A minimum of two classes of pre-k students at Heritage Trail will move to Shorewood, and the remaining two classes will move to either Shorewood or Crossroads depending on pre-k and overall enrollment in the two schools.

That would make the overall number of pre-k classes at Crossroads from four to six classes, and at Shorewood from two to four classes. Pre-k classes are half day classes, so one classroom can accommodate two classes.

The pre-k change also affects the to-

tal number of classrooms that would open up at each school because of redistricting.

Instead of Heritage Trail having two open classrooms, it would have three because the pre-k classrooms would leave. Shorewood would have one open classroom instead of three.

Board comments

Board member Anne Carney told residents she remembered when her kids were redistricted from Heritage Trail to Craughwell.

“It was a scary proposition. But in reality, they were welcomed at Craughwell with equally great teachers,” Carney said, reassuringly.

Board member Kristin Dawn Cross said she was glad the administration changed the plan because she was also concerned with the students’ safety.

Board President Mark Griglione said he thought the board and administration did a good job addressing the Channahon residents’ concerns.

“It shows that we listened,” Griglione said.

A resurgence

The event featured speakers – including Will County State’s Attorney Jim Glasgow – who focused on strategies to end the spike in heroin- and opioid-related overdose deaths.

After two years of consecutive declines, Will County recorded 53 heroin-related deaths in 2015, matching its own record previously held in 2012.

Glasgow talked briefly about that resurgence Monday.

Glasgow said there’s much work left to do. Heroin-related deaths continue to rise despite efforts made with game-changing programs such as Will County Drug Court, an alternative program to jail time for drug offenders. Will County’s drug court started in 2010, he said.

“At the time we were looking at single-digit overdoses. And it went up until the teens. Then it spiked. It went into the high 20s and 30s. And we hit

JOLIET – An hourlong conversation about the region’s battle against opioid abuse barely scratches the surface to the growing epidemic.

But at least it keeps the conversation alive – as U.S. Rep. Bill Foster, D-Naperville, did Monday morning in gathering nonprofit leaders, elected officials and other advocates at the Will County Health Department in hopes of keeping the issue at the forefront of people’s minds.

“For a long time, addiction was something that was hidden and shameful, something that only happened in other neighborhoods and often discussed as a moral failing that was whispered about but never discussed in the open,” Foster said Monday during a panel discussion at the Will County Health Department.

Foster said he hopes to help in changing that narrative.

“Because opioid addiction is everywhere, it is now being seen less as a moral failing and more of a treatable medical condition,” Foster said.

Foster discussed his proposed bill, Expanding Opportunities for Recovery Act, which would create grant funding to increase access to inpatient rehabilitation services for heroin and opioid users. Grants would be used to provide services to people with inadequate health insurance, allowing them to have up to 60 consecutive days of treatment, Foster said.

One audience member, Kimberly Kroll, a licensed clinical professional counselor with Achieving Solutions Counseling Inc. in Naperville, said there needs to be more focus on the lack of access for patients who can’t afford inpatient care.

Kroll added more focus needs to be spent on the link between people who use and misuse opiate prescription medications and heroin use.

Foster: Region needs to add aid for heroin-opioid users

VFW’s Powerball situation temporarily diffused

By VIKAAS SHANKER

vshanker@shawmedia.com WILMINGTON – Recent hysteria over the national Powerball lottery game may have died down.

But the sense of excitement hasn’t left the Malcolm J. Mayo VFW Post 5422 in Wilmington, which holds a “Find the Queen of Hearts” fundraiser raffle on Wednesdays.

While the raffle brings excitement and business to Wilmington when the pot hits six digits, it also has city officials worried about safety and parking issues.

“It’s gotten real high, above $100,000,” VFW Manager Gina Wills said. “People are excited about this, and we have huge crowds outside the VFW.” A record jackpot of more than $380,000 was hit Dec. 9. The current game jackpot stands at almost $80,000.

But the safety concerns led to a highly unpopular proposal in the City Council to lower the cap of the pot from $1 million to $100,000. That proposal was suspended, but caused the VFW to institute new crowd-con-

trolling rules.

Finding luck

“Find the Queen of Hearts” is a simple game: 54 cards are securely laminated in a game board. Each card has a number.

Contestants buy tickets – six for $5 – and write their names and numbers they want.

At 6:30 p.m. Every Wednesday, one name is drawn. If a Queen of Hearts is selected, the contestant wins the pot, minus 15 percent for the VFW, 15 percent to start up the new game and 28 percent for income taxes.

Other queens and jokers also are winners, with the contestant winning a 5 percent payout.

The VFW has fueled scholarships and other aid to social organizations and veterans with its percentage.

City cap

VFW leaders were upset and felt slighted at the lack of input they got from city officials on the proposal to cap the jackpot, and all lottery-style earnings, at $100,000.

“There’s no reason why it should

To participate in the “Find the Queen of Hearts” game, head to the VFW at 557 W. Baltimore St., Wilmington, and buy tickets at six for $5 or 36 for $25. Write your name, phone number and desired card number on the ticket.

Drawings are held at 6:30 p.m. Wednesdays at the VFW. “Queen of Hearts” winners don’t need to be present, but other winners are required to be. The VFW will stop allowing contestants in once the building reaches fire code capacity. be capped,” VFW Commander Terry Cerutti said, noting the game boosts Wilmington’s economy on Wednesdays. “When the Powerball was big, the gas stations were packed and they didn’t cap that.”

The City Council decided last week

to suspend the cap proposal after VFW leaders and supporters pleaded and questioned motives behind the cap, and after the VFW leaders said they would work with police and fire officials to control the crowds.

The agreement means the VFW will stop selling tickets outside its building. Officials also will discourage people from gathering around the hall.

But the cap hasn’t been taken off the table.

“It’s going to be evaluated [as the jackpot grows], and then we may take it off the table,” City Administrator Tony Graff said.

Meanwhile, Police Chief Phillip Arnold said the police and fire agencies have unfairly taken the brunt of the criticism.

“We’ve gotten the raw end of this deal,” Arnold said. “We are supporting the VFW, not trying to shut it down.”

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

“Apparently, a dispute erupted, resulting in gunfire,” authorities stated in a news release issued Saturday.

Early Feb. 1, Johnson, 19, was the rear passenger in a Pontiac that struck a tree at Edgehill and Glengary drives in Bolingbrook – two blocks from where the shooting occurred.

Aubry Watson, 30, of Bolingbrook was identified as the driver and hospitalized with life-threatening injuries, according to police reports. Johnson, of Bolingbrook, and Maurice Thomas, who’d been riding in the passenger seat, were taken to a hospital in DuPage County, where Johnson was pronounced dead at 7:45 a.m.

On Friday, Watson was charged with aggravated driving under the influence of alcohol and driving with a suspended license. Larry said Monday that Watson remains hospitalized and will be arrested when he is released.

6 jurors to decide 2013 restaurant murder case

By BRIAN STANLEY

bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Opening arguments are scheduled to begin Tuesday for a man accused of shooting another man in the middle of a crowded Joliet diner three years ago.

Christopher L. Thompson, 33, wore a jacket and tie Monday as potential jurors came into Judge Daniel Rozak’s courtroom Christopher at the Will County L. Thompson Courthouse. Thompson, who is charged with murder and faces 45 years to life in prison if convicted, sat between defense attorneys John Casey and Maurice Holman.

Adam Capelli, Mike Fitzgerald and Jim Long will prosecute the case for the Will County State’s Attorney’s Office.

Thompson on Monday chose a six-person jury instead of the traditional 12 jurors in a criminal case.

There also will be four alternate jurors hearing the case.

Young declined to answer questions about the criteria determining which branches would close. More than 386,000 people visited the ISM system in 2014, according to IDNR. The Lockport Gallery saw the fewest visitors with 14,243, while the Southern Illinois Art Gallery – now slated for closure – saw about 18,700.

his wife and two young daughters at Louis’ Family Restaurant, 1001 W. Jefferson St., while Thompson and a woman were eating at another table.

Police said the two men had had several previous confrontations and argued again before Thompson left.

He returned about 15 minutes later, walked up to Franchini’s booth and shot him several times at point blank range, police said.

Thompson fled, but was arrested later that day in Crest Hill. Despite being told to remain silent at his bond hearing, Thompson told the judge he’d been shot nine times on previous occasions. Thompson was arrested in September 2009 on a charge of carjacking. He was convicted of aggravated unlawful use of a weapon in 2002 and unauthorized possession of a firearm in 1999.

Franchini had been arrested twice on drug charges and also was charged with murder in the January 2007 slaying of Brenda Greenwood.

Franchini and his friend, Jaime Casillas, who had a child with Greenwood, were tried in 2008, but found not guilty after a witness was unable to identify which man pulled the trigger.

The new fillings, including maple bacon, have been well received at Milano, said Dana DeBenedetti, who runs the store at the front of the bakery. But Polish people who have grown up with paczki find them strange.

“If they’re the true Polish, they don’t like all the new kinds.”

Dana DeBenedetti Milano Bakery

Women have told Dana DeBenedetti that the fancy paczki clash with their memories of paczki being a poor people’s food.

The paczki started in Poland as a way to use up eggs and butter before Lenten fasting began, which is why the pastries are so rich. In Poland, they are eaten the Thursday before Lent. In the United States, Paczki Day has become a

Fat Tuesday feast.

In America, not only have bakers added new flavors – sometimes German, Italian or French fillings – they are extending Paczki Day. The Polish-style doughnuts have been in grocery stores for weeks.

Joliet-based grocery cooperative Central Grocers Inc. has been sending paczki from two major suppliers to its member stores since Jan. 6, said Mike Keane, a buyer for the company.

Keane said paczki always have been in big demand in Polish neighborhoods in Chicago. But he believes the pastry has had a wider appeal for at least 20 years.

And, now Packzi Day is growing into Paczki Month. If you’re looking for a way to fill the gap between New Year’s Day and Valentine’s Day, it’s not hard in the Joliet area to find a paczki to chase away the winter blahs.

“The retailers like to advertise them and put them by the register. It’s a great impulse item,” Keane said. “We started shipping those right after New Year’s.

They try to make a whole month out of it.”

nationalize the campus as students expect to receive an education with a global perspective. The university also will continue to grow new programs, he said.

Livingston is a Dundee native who earned a bachelor’s degree in chemistry

from Augustana College in Rock Island, according to the release. He completed a master’s degree in theology at Loyola University in Chicago and a doctorate in theology at Vanderbilt University in Nashville.

Before serving as president of

Lourdes University, he worked at Mercyhurst University for 16 years.

He also taught religious studies at Loyola Academy High School in Wilmette, Vanderbilt University, University of St. Francis in Joliet, Joliet Catholic Academy and Loyola University.

The main branch saw 199,304 visitors, while the Chicago Gallery saw 64,300, Dickson Mounds saw 50,297 and the Illinois Artisans Shop saw 39,806, according to IDNR. State Rep. Emily McAsey, D-Lockport, and state Sen. Andy Manar, D-Bunker Hill, are co-sponsors for Senate Bill 317 – legislation approved last year that called for the statewide museum system to reopen.

McAsey said she wants to “flesh out the details” of Rauner’s amendatory veto before forming an opinion. Manar said Monday while he remains committed to reopening the

museums, he is opposed to cost-sharing with local governments to fund the system – another element of Rauner’s veto – and charging admission to the public.

The General Assembly must vote to approve Rauner’s changes. Manar and McAsey also could choose to try to override the governor, which would require the support of threefifths of both chambers – a threshold legislators exceeded when they first approved the measure.

Lockport Mayor Steven Streit could not be reached for comment Monday afternoon. Last week, Streit

– who last year suggested the Lockport museum stay open while the city fronted rent payments in the short-term – said he’s wary of the details.

State Sen. Pat McGuire, D-Joliet, said he will be interested to see how IDNR can negotiate with the city of Lockport on shared costs – such as personnel and building insurance – and the establishment of entry fees.

“I want it to be fair and sustainable,” McGuire said.

Orland Park man attacks Auto Dealer ex’s new boyfriend with screwdriver, pickup truck DIRECTORY

By BRIAN STANLEY

bstanley@shawmedia.com ORLAND PARK – Police say an Orland Park man attacked his ex-girlfriend’s new boyfriend with a screwdriver before chasing after him in a car early Monday.

The confrontation began about 3:30 a.m. when the 25-year-old woman and her 23-year-old boyfriend were in the basement of a home in the 12000 block of Lancaster Court and heard the garage door open, according to Will County Sheriff’s spokeswoman Kathy Hoffmeyer.

“The female went to the front door and observed Ricardo Castillo-Olivares, 28, who forced open the door, causing the girl to fall to the ground,” Hoffmeyer said. “Castillo-Olivares then ran into the basement with a large flat-head screwdriver and began attacking the 23-year-old Orland Hills man.”

Although the woman attempted to

break it up, the men struggled and the 23-year-old man received several cuts to his arms and a puncture wound to his forearm, according to police reports.

The man who was attacked fled to his Volkswagen and drove to Chestnut Lane, where he was rear-ended by Castillo-Olivares’ red Dodge Dakota, Hoffmeyer said. The pickup truck smashed into the Volkswagen several more times as the victim drove on 143rd Street into Cook County – causing “extensive” damage to the vehicle, police said.

The fleeing man flagged down an Orland Park police officer while Castillo-Olivares drove away to 153rd Street before being stopped by responding officers, Hoffmeyer said.

Both victims declined medical treatment. Castillo-Olivares, of the 9000 block of Kennedy Court, was arrested on charges of home invasion, aggravated battery, domestic battery, reckless driving and vandalism.

LONDON – Margaret Forster, the author of “Georgy Girl” and more than 20 other novels, has died in London after suffering from cancer in the back and spine. She was 77.

Her husband, Hunter Davies, said she died Monday at a hospice in London. The couple spent much of their

mountain and then swam in the lake and came back to the house and brought me tea,” he said.

Davies said the cancer made it impossible for his wife of 55 years to sit for extended periods because of the pain, which also prevented her from going out to restaurants and movies.

The Royal Society of Literature issued a statement describing her as “an extraordinarily prolific and gifted writ-

er of fiction, non-fiction and literary criticism.”

“Georgy Girl” was made into a hit movie in 1966 starring Lynn Redgrave, Charlotte Rampling, Alan Bates and James Mason. Forster co-wrote the screenplay for the film, which also inspired a bouncy pop tune that captured the exuberance of the times.

Davies said her novel “How to Measure a Cow” will be published in March.

By SARA BURNETT The Associated Press

CHICAGO – Meeting for the first time this election season, the three Illinois Democrats vying for U.S. Senate worked to distinguish themselves from each other and their GOP rivals Monday, sharing stories of difficult childhoods, business backgrounds and time in the trenches of struggling Chicago neighborhoods.

During a meeting before the Chicago Tribune editorial board, U.S. Rep. Tammy Duckworth, state Sen. Napoleon Harris and former Chicago Urban League CEO Andrea Zopp also touched on how they’d reduce the national debt and where they differ from President Barack Obama. The winner of the March 15 primary likely will face Republican U.S. Sen. Mark Kirk, who’s seeking his second term and is considered a heavy favorite to win a GOP primary against businessman James Marter. Democrats nationally see Kirk as one of the GOP’s most vulnerable incumbents, and Illinois as key to their strategy to pick up seats and possibly win back control of the Senate.

selves to voters, most of whom have heard little about the so-far low-key race.

Duckworth, a former Army pilot whose helicopter was shot down in Iraq, acknowledged she’s best known for her military background. She said what’s made her want to fight for working families is her own childhood, noting she had to work part-time after school to help pay the rent on her family’s studio apartment after her father lost his job.

Harris said growing up as an African-American male on Chicago’s South Side was “tough,” but that his mother’s emphasis on education led him to Northwestern University and a career in the NFL. He now owns a chain of suburban pizza restaurants.

Zopp touted the breadth of her experience, having served as a state and federal prosecutor and spending 10 years as an executive in Fortune 200 companies before taking over the Urban League of Chicago. She also sat on the Chicago Board of Education and a panel that recommended Illinois abolish the death penalty.

for entitlement programs such as Medicare and Social Security.

Harris, of Harvey, said the answer is “no more expensive wars” and getting corporations and wealthy people to pay more taxes.

Zopp, of Chicago, called for closing corporate tax loopholes and ending the practice known as inversions, when U.S. companies merge with overseas corporations to lower their tax bill.

Duckworth, of Hoffman Estates, pointed to what she called waste in the Defense Department, such as billions spent on the F-35 fighter jet program.

She also said she’d look at changing the income level at which Social Security taxes are capped, so people who earn higher wages pay a larger percentage than they currently do.

Harris objected, saying he’s been “in the community talking to people who are directly impacted” and that he hasn’t seen Zopp there.

“You’re running in the wrong race,” Harris said, saying she should be running for Cook County State’s Attorney.

Zopp then ripped Harris as having “limited experience and leadership.”

Harris’ reply: “You’ve never been elected.”

“What I have done is gotten things done,” Zopp said.

“(Petrakis) assisted in handing out information about (Peoria Community Against Violence peace walk). Showed leadership and initiative,” police community services coordinator Krista Coleman wrote on Sept. 6, 2014, in the log of contacts with Petrakis she kept as part of the Don’t Shoot program.

Petrakis asked for assistance in finding a home and a job in September 2014.

Coleman later wrote a letter of recommendation to assist in his apartment search.

According to police reports, Petrakis met a 16-year-old runaway in March.

Shortly afterward he began posting online ads for massages. Up to six men a day would come to the apartment, or Petrakis would take her to houses in Peoria and locations in Chicago, the teen told police.

universities in Illinois, according to a higher-education accrediting agency.

In a letter sent Thursday, the Higher Learning Commission, the regional accrediting agency for 19 states including Illinois, issued a warning to Gov. Bruce Rauner and members of the General Assembly, the Champaign News-Gazette reported.

Schools that have to suspend operations or close because of unavailable state funding could lose their accreditation if they don’t come up with plans for their students to continue at another college, the commission warned lawmakers.

“The lack of state funding is putting Illinois colleges and universities at serious risk and jeopardizing the future of students,” commission President Barbara Gellman-Danley wrote in the letter.

Illinois’ public colleges and universities have been operating without state funding since the fiscal year began July 1.

Without state funding in place, Chicago State University officials have said their campus could close by March 1.

ILLINOIS ROUNDUP

News from across the state Report: Police program helped man who prostituted teen

PEORIA – A newspaper report said a man who’s serving 15 years in prison for running an underage prostitution operation did so out of an apartment that police helped him get through an anti-violence program.

Documents acquired by the Peoria Journal Star show the police department’s Don’t Shoot initiative aided Matthew Petrakis obtaining the apartment in 2014.

The program focuses on gangs and other violent groups by warning ex-offenders on parole or probation that they are being monitored by police and offering social services to help those most likely to commit or become a victim of gun violence.

College-accrediting agency sends warning amid impasse

SPRINGFIELD – The state budget impasse could have “significant” consequences for the public colleges and

ROCKFORD – Authorities said three teenagers were arrested after leading Winnebago County deputies on a chase in a stolen vehicle.

The Rockford Register Star reported that Winnebago County Sheriff’s deputies pursued the teens after the vehicle they were riding in ran a stop sign around 11 p.m. Saturday in Rockford. The teens eventually exited the vehicle, fled on foot and were arrested.

Winnebago County Sheriff Gary Caruana said the teens are “strongly suspected” to be members of the “Get Money Team.” Officials said the gang is made up of about 30 to 35 juveniles and is believed to be behind a series of armed robberies in Rockford.

Caruana said one of the teens admitted to being involved in 21 armed robberies.

The teens are being held at the Winnebago County Juvenile Detention Center.

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS A Saudi deployment runs the Obama asking Congress for funding to combat Zika potentially explosive risk of

WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama is asking Congress for more than $1.8 billion in emergency funding to fight the Zika virus and the mosquitoes that spread it here and abroad, but said “there shouldn’t be a panic on this.”

The virus is spreading rapidly through Latin America. While most people experience either mild or no symptoms, Zika is suspected of causing a devastating birth defect – babies born with abnormally small heads – and pregnant Americans are urged to avoid travel to affected areas.

U.S. health officials said the money is critical for research into the birth defect known as microcephaly. They also want to speed development of a vaccine and better diagnostic tests, and expand mosquito control programs. Some of the money also would aid Zika-stricken countries and territories.

confrontation between one of the Arab world’s most powerful militaries and forces keeping Syrian President Bashar Assad in power.

That’s if the Saudi proposal even gets translated into action.

Just putting the offer on the table gives the Saudis an opportunity to show leadership in addressing U.S. concerns that its regional allies aren’t doing enough to fight IS. It also puts pressure on Washington to do more as Defense Secretary Ash Carter and allied defense ministers gather in Brussels this week for talks on confronting the extremists.

Remaining occupiers release videos mocking FBI

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump speaks during a town hall campaign event Monday at the Londonderry Lions Club in Londonderry, N.H.

Candidates sprinting to finish in New Hampshire The ASSOCIATED PRESS SALEM, N.H. – Eyeing their first wins in a capricious campaign, Republican Donald Trump lashed out at his opponents Monday while Democrat Bernie Sanders sought to play it safe on the eve of the nation’s initial primary. GOP contenders vying for second and third saw fresh hopes for survival after New Hampshire as both parties settled in for a drawn-out slog to the nomination.

As snowfall brought yet more uncertainty to the race’s final hours, Hillary Clinton tried to move past talk of a shakeup in her campaign and controversy over comments by supporters that women should feel obliged to vote for her. Barnstorming New Hampshire with her husband and daughter, she worked to flip Sanders’ favored critique against her by claiming that he, too, had taken big bucks from Wall Street – if only indirectly.

But it was Trump, the billionaire businessman, who launched the harshest attacks – not against Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, who had bested him in Iowa, but against Jeb Bush. The former Florida governor is one of three Republicans hoping Marco Rubio’s recent stumbles have opened a fresh path for one of them to emerge as the more mainstream alternative to Trump and Cruz.

“Jeb is having some kind of a breakdown, I think,” Trump told CNN, calling Bush, the son and brother of presidents, a spoiled child and

an embarrassment to his family. “I think it’s a very sad situation that’s taking place.”

The enmity was mutual. Vying for votes in Nashua, Bush described his opponent variably as a loser, a liar, a whiner and the worst choice for president. He blasted what he said was Trump’s proclivity for “insulting women, castigating Hispanics, ridiculing the disabled and calling American POWs losers.”

Still, Trump was running ahead in pre-primary polls, as was Sanders on the Democratic side.

Not so long ago, Republicans saw New Hampshire as the proving ground that would winnow their chockablock field of candidates.

Rubio’s surge into third place in Iowa one week ago raised the prospect that voters here would anoint him over Bush, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and Ohio Gov. John Kasich.

Yet Rubio faced fresh questions about his readiness and his ability to defeat the Democratic nominee – after Saturday’s debate, when he was mocked for reciting rote talking points about President Barack Obama over and over.

Growing doubts about Rubio seemed to portend a fight for delegates that could extend for weeks or months – to the dismay of Republican Party leaders hoping for a quick consolidation behind anyone but Cruz or Trump.

Democrats already are resigned to the likelihood of a protracted primary after Sanders’ strong performance in Iowa.

ANOTHER VIEW

Fighting the Zika Virus The World Health Organization and its director general, Dr. Margaret Chan, were right to declare the Zika virus an international public health emergency, even if its suspected link to severe birth defects has not been proved.

The mosquito-borne disease is a serious threat: It is usually so mild as to be undetectable in adults; yet, as it has exploded across South and Central America, it has been followed by a surge in babies born with underdeveloped heads, a condition called microcephaly.

The emergency designation will galvanize coordinated international monitoring and action of the sort that was tragically missing in the first months of the Ebola pandemic. The WHO’s decision, however, could reduce travel to affected countries, which would be an economic burden. Brazil, where Zika made its first major appearance in the Western Hemisphere last May, is especially fearful that visitors will stay away from the Olympic Games in August.

It cannot let that prevent it from being completely transparent about this serious threat and the steps it is taking to protect people.

In Latin America, where many nations outlaw abortion, some governments have advised that pregnancies be delayed, which can create only greater anxiety for women who have sadly limited control over such decisions.

All of this adds urgency to the work of medical researchers investigating any possible link between microcephaly and Zika infection, for which there is no cure. And it puts a heavy responsibility on the WHO and institutions like the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Pan American Health Organization to give clear and realistic guidance on how to avoid infection. The CDC has issued a list of countries pregnant women should try to avoid visiting and has advised travelers on how to protect against mosquito bites.

The New York Times

Nothing will change until Madigan, Rauner decide it will Last week, a reporter said to Gov. Bruce Rauner that Secretary of State Jesse White had suggested that Rauner bring in former governors, including George Ryan, to help break the long governmental impasse that has prevented the state from having a budget for over seven months.

Rauner laughed and said, “Uh, wow.”

The governor clearly did not take the suggestion seriously.

“I’m not gonna talk about the failures of the past that created this mess,” Rauner said through chuckles.

“I focus on the future. I don’t live in the past. We’ve had failure in our elected government for decades. This mess didn’t happen overnight. And what we’re not gonna do is reproduce the dynamic that created it.” The governor laughed throughout most of that last sentence.

Bringing in graybeards has been tried before without success. Gov. Rod Blagojevich asked former U.S. House Speaker Dennis Hastert and then-Southern Illinois University President Glenn Poshard to town to help him pass his massive construction proposal that Speaker Michael Madigan refused to agree to.

It didn’t work. The two men left town as soon as they realized how hardened Madigan’s position had become against Blagojevich.

While former governors have been through similar troubles, nothing really

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

VIEWS Rich Miller compares to today’s self-inflicted disaster. Madigan and Blagojevich played hardball, but the game is exponentially meaner now.

And, besides, what would the former governors say or do that could make a difference? They’d probably advise Rauner to cut a deal that doesn’t bash unions. But our governor seems wholly uninterested in doing such a thing.

The simple fact is that nothing – nothing – will change until Madigan and Rauner decide it will.

Madigan’s long history clearly shows he forces the other side to negotiate against itself until he believes they’re close enough to his position. Rauner clearly has not moved far enough away from anti-union proposals and things such as term limits for Madigan’s taste.

And Rauner, for his part, seems fed up with the whole process and has taken to issuing repeated dire warnings of political consequences to Madigan’s Democratic members if they continue backing the speaker.

But as we saw not long ago, when rank-and-file Senate Democrats rejected the pension reform compromise negoti-

ated by Senate President John Cullerton (even though a majority of that caucus had voted for a very similar bill a couple of years earlier), most Democratic legislators are in no mood to work out a deal, either, and continue to insist that the governor come to the table and finally agree to a budget instead.

Last Thursday, Chicago State University officially declared a “financial exigency,” which could lead to the reduction of tenured faculty and drastic reductions in programs in order to save the school from closure. The state’s only majority black university already had announced last month that it would run out of money to pay salaries in early March.

CSU gets more than a third of its funding from the state, more than all but one other four-year public university in Illinois. But the governor has publicly complained that taxpayers have been throwing Chicago State’s money “down the toilet” and wants drastic reforms.

For now, anyway, the Democrats are staying on the sidelines and loudly pointing fingers at Rauner.

The governor has been talking about his grand plan for years, long before he was elected.

He never made it a major campaign issue, but it’s clear from looking at his past statements that he believes Democrats eventually will side against the

unions and with social service agencies (and places like the CSU campus and the Chicago Public Schools) if he can, in his own words, “drive a wedge” into the party. The object is to make the Democrats choose between money for their pet causes or union rights. He’s shut off the money, but he hasn’t yet driven that wedge.

That’s probably why Rauner looked as if he was attempting to tank the Chicago Public School’s bond sale last week with loud demands that it should go bankrupt and be taken over by the state. Without that bond sale, the school system would’ve been in danger of shutting down.

The object here appears to be to create so much chaos that the Democrats finally start negotiating in order to save all the programs and institutions they’ve been building for decades.

So far, that isn’t happening, but the real chaos is yet to come. We’ve seen smaller social service agencies close, and we’ve seen larger agencies shut down vital programs, but so far nothing huge has happened.

It’ll probably take the “death” of something very important and very large to test this theory.

As a freshman in 2014, Dudeck didn’t want to cut weight so he wrestled at 182, the same class that he was at last year.

He weighed in at 211 for the regional while senior Ditchman has wrestled at heavyweight for the past three years.

The two also worked together well during the football season with Ditchman being a force on the defensive line and Dudeck being the same at linebacker.

“When I was in eighth grade, Jake was only a year younger but was 80 pounds, if that, and I was at 205,” Ditchman said. “I definitely help him with the 220 guys who have strength over him so now he’s used to that and with him shooting and being so quick and agile, I’m used to the quick and agile heavyweights.

Celtics’ youth movement

Much of the reason for Providence Catholic’s first regional title since 2009 can be attributed to its talented freshman and sophomore classes. Seven of the eight sectional qualifiers for coach Keith Healy’s Celtics are in that group, as are all four of their regional champions.

Freshmen Jake Lindsey (106), Josh Ramos (120) and Juan Bazaldua (132) and sophomore Cole Smith (152) all won titles, while sophomores Ben Emery (126) and Dominick Ambrose (138) and freshman John Nowak (170) joined senior Mason Heimlich (145) as qualifiers.

“Coach Healy really pushed us in practice to win this regional,” Ramos said. “We push each other in practice and just drill hard. Most of us are freshmen and sophomores, so hopefully we can win a state championship by my junior year. We have all of the state titles on the wall in our room, so we see it every day. Coach says respect for those teams is where it’s at.”

“I liked how we started off the regional and how we finished it,” Smith said. “I’m happy with how I’m doing, but I’m not satisfied. My goal is to get to state and work from there. We’re having a lot of success right now, and I believe in the future that we’re going to continue to have more and more success from new kids who are coming in.”

Griffins’ future encouraging

Lincoln-Way East put up a good fight before settling for second behind host Providence in the regional. Coach Tyrone Byrd’s Griffins had six sectional qualifiers, and the only one who is graduating is regional champion Brian Burns (182).

The other five qualifiers are juniors Jason Stokes (126), Jake DiBenedetto (132) and Sam Diehl (285), sophomore Devin O’Rourke (220) and freshman Nick Mihajlovich (170).

Lockport provides examples of balance in area VIEWS Dick Goss A few weeks ago, the Lockport boys basketball team visited Joliet West and came away with a victory.

Last Friday night, Joliet Central visited Lockport, and the Porters were on the verge of another win over a Joliet Township rival. Had Steelmen senior guard Taquan Sims not gotten things going offensively in the second half and overtime, it probably would have happened. Instead, Central prevailed, 51-47.

Those three teams are examples of the wild and crazy season this has been in this area.

Take Lockport, for example.

The Porters, who are 10-10 overall, are not the strongest offensive team around by any means. And yet, regardless of the opponent, they are capable of playing with – or beating – anyone on their schedule. The reason is that first-year head coach Brett Hespell and his staff are getting the most from what they have.

As Central coach Jeff Corcoran said after Friday’s game: “I can’t give enough credit to Brett and his staff. They are the most physical team we play. They run stuff, they’re patient and they take you out of your element. Their physicalness causes real problems.”

West and Central, meanwhile, are two of the best teams in the area. The Tigers sometimes are hurt by the inconsistencies of youth, and the Steelmen lack size. Yet in the postseason, you can rest assured they are teams that opponents will not want to see coming.

In this week’s rankings of area large schools, we are leaving Joliet Catholic at the top and Joliet West second.

However, Minooka is closing in on both and could wind up in one of those spots before the tournament arrives.

Lincoln-Way Central, Bolingbrook and Plainfield East also are playing well, as reflected below.

1. Joliet Catholic (16-4): The Hilltoppers drop a 52-50 decision last Thursday at St. Viator No shame in that. The highly regarded Lions improved to 15-4.

Meanwhile, a JCA nonconference game Tuesday night at Ottawa Marquette will be followed by another big one in the East Suburban Catholic on Friday at Marist.

2. Joliet West (14-7): The Tigers have inched above .500 again at 5-4 in SouthWest Suburban Blue wars. They entertain Lincoln-Way East on Tuesday and then await a visit from SWS Blue leader Homewood-Flossmoor on Friday.

Marco Pettinato and Jon Marotta are a strong 1-2 punch.

7. Plainfield North (12-9): Tigers played well for most last week’s battle with rival Plainfield East, but did not take care of the ball well enough down the stretch and wound up falling, 62-58, in overtime.

8. Bolingbrook (9-9): In the Raiders’ run to the third-place trophy in Class 4A a year ago, they were 6-5 at one point, then won 19 of their last 21 games. The turnaround may not be quite as dramatic this time around, but they are playing better basketball in the second half of the season.

CHEERLEADING

By CURT HERRON

cherron@shawmedia.com

• Tuesday, February 9, 2016

JOLIET – Once Sunday’s awards ceremony honoring Joliet West’s competitive cheerleading team winning the IHSA large team championship the day before had ended, the biggest Tigers cheerleader of them all took a few minutes to talk about its significance.

West athletics director Steve Millsaps has gone above and beyond to promote the positives that are happening with Tigers sports. So naturally, he was thrilled about the special accomplishment that the school’s cheerleaders achieved Saturday in Bloomington.

Coach Amy DiForti’s Tigers turned in their best score of the season, a 94.7, to not only win their initial state trophy in the sport but also West’s first state championship in anything since the Joliet Township schools went back to two athletic programs.

JT last won a title in 2000 when a combined team featuring many West athletes captured the 2000 softball championship. This was the fourth state title won by a team just from the West campus and only the second that was won in a girls sport, with the other being the 1978 basketball team.

“Last year, we had a lot of teams that had some good accomplishments but just didn’t know how to win,” Millsaps said.

“So we made the commitment to bring in a sports psychologist, Brian Cain, and he’s taught us a lot, including our Tiger Pride core values. What it means when you say it, and that’s why we have signs that say, ‘’Toughness, Integrity, Greatness, Energy and Responsibility’ and then Pride is personal responsibility in daily excellence. He came and talked about building a championship culture.

“I was lucky enough my first two years out of college to work at Providence under Matt Senffner and was part of two state championships right away as an assistant coach. But we have a lot of young coaches who haven’t won. We have the kids and we’ve shown that we can make strides but we just didn’t feel like we knew how to take the next step.”

While DiForti’s program has been consistently good, qualifying for state on a yearly basis from one of the top areas for the sport, they hadn’t often been in the mix for a trophy. But if one sport is going to be the first champions at a school, which applies due to the long break for Tigers athletics, the cheerleaders are ideal candidates.

“Your cheerleaders are one of the sports that they start in the fall with football and they end in a couple of weeks with basketball,” Millsaps said. “So they’re probably your main artery with being at every event and they’re com-

mitted, as you saw from the fan section and the people who really support them.

Sports are competitive, so I know other coaches are really going to want to have something that Amy and her kids just had. But until you see it and a blueprint of how it’s done that’s close to you, it’s hard to achieve.

“So now other kids can talk to each other about what they do at times when there was adversity. And I have a state championship coach, and other young-

er coaches can talk to Amy and find out what she did in certain situations. Obviously, not every situation is going to be the same, but it’s going to be a chance for us to have more leaders. When you’re at schools that are pumping out state championships, they have coaches who have been there for awhile who teach the younger coaches. That’s what we’re hoping here with this.”

Millsaps, someone who literally wears the gold and black on his sleeve

and is a regular on Twitter highlighting West’s accomplishments, plans to capitalize on this special moment.

“We’re going to celebrate this with our students and drag it out,” Millsaps said. “I was able to bring the trophy over to boosters bowling and the coaches were so supportive. We’re in this together and all of my coaches have bought into what I’m trying to do, which is create a championship mindset and they’re buying into Tiger Pride. I think that we’re doing things the right way here and people respect that and that’s why everyone is happy for us.

“One of the basic reasons that I’ve loved this job is because I was able to take over at this school when it was brand new and was able to start things from scratch. Chris Olson was a great mentor and taught me pretty much everything that I know about the logistics of this job.

By not having our mascot used recently, we were able to make people be proud to be a Tiger and grasp the students that way. It’s taken some time, but in terms of the culture, the coaches and kids are buying into Tiger Pride. Kids should have pride in their high school. It’s my job to make sure that these kids have the opportunity to have a good experience.”

Slammers promote Mills to general manager Former assistant GM entering 4th season with the team

By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The Joliet Slammers announced Monday that assistant general manager Heather Mills will become the team’s new general manager.

Mills is entering her fourth season with the team after joining the club in 2013 as box office manager. Mills oversaw ticket operations in the 2013 and 2014 seasons and was promoted in 2015 to assistant general manager.

Her contributions to the club helped the Slammers to a successful 2015 season, earning the Frontier League Commissioner’s Award of Excellence in acknowledgement of an increase in attendance and business development, according to a Slammers news release.

“It was always my ultimate goal to become a general manager in baseball,” Mills said. “I didn’t expect it this early.”

Mills said because she couldn’t play baseball professionally as a woman,

Heather Mills was named the new General Manager of the Joliet Slammers Monday. she strove to reach the top position in a baseball organization. She has dreams of reaching the major leagues, but said she is happy where she is now and wants to continue the baseball tradition in Joliet.

Slammers majority owner Nick Semaca said although the general manager position opened less than a

month ago when Chris Franklin left for a job with Chicago Cubs Double-A affiliate the Smokies of Kodak, Tennessee, filling the position fast was not the main priority.

“We talked to a few people outside of the organization, but it became clear that no one could do the job better than Heather,” Semaca said.

Now, Mills’ role is growing and with it, so is her level of accountability, Semaca said. She will lead baseball operations by working on revenue matters, team travel logistics and filling the roster, among other things.

“She is energetic, smart and a strong leader who will help us continue to grow and deliver an even greater experience to our fans in Joliet and the greater Will County area,” Semaca said in the news release.

Semaca said the Slammers aren’t tied to hiring an assistant general manager and may hire for smaller roles, such as a box office manager.

“We have a little bit of flexibility with our staff structure right now,” Semaca said.

Mills came to the Slammers after spending 2010 and 2011 as ticket operations and promotions coordinator with the Kane County Cougars. In 2011, along with a coworker, she created the Veeck Family Night of 100 promotions, named one of the top five theme nights in Minor League Baseball that season.

Mills was awarded Jan. 31 the Mary Frances Veeck Woman of the Year award at the 70th Pitch and Hit Club of Chicago banquet. The award recognizes women who have worked in baseball and made significant contributions to the game.

SUPER BOWL 50 ANALYSIS

Von Miller’s MVP effort was better than you thought

By ADAM KILGORE

The Washington Post

SANTA CLARA, Calif. – Von Miller decimated the Carolina Panthers in every way an outside linebacker can. He harassed and flustered Cam Newton, at once stripping away the ball and his confidence at the outset.

He tortured right tackle Mike Remmers. He stifled tight end Greg Olsen.

Miller influenced the game on almost every snap he played. His pass-rushing dominance made him the easy choice for Most Valuable Player in real time. Upon a second viewing, he was even better.

Miller didn’t only impact the Denver Broncos’ 24-10 Super Bowl victory with his 2½ sacks and two forced fumbles. He forced the Panthers to commit extra blockers to account for him, which opened space for blitzes and the rest of Denver’s marauding defensive line. He hurried Newton into four incompletions on plays when he couldn’t knock him

down. When asked, he covered wide receivers in man-to-man. He was everywhere and did everything.

The most devastating play Miller made, of course, came on the sixth play of the game. He lined up on the left side of the Carolina’s line, in front of Newton’s face. The Panthers lined up running back Mike Tolbert behind Remmers, hoping to elongate Miller’s path to the quarterback.

At the snap, Tolbert released on a pattern, and Miller blasted past Remmers, who could only lunge at Miller.

Miller tore around the edge, straight at Newton’s face. Newton should have seen Miller coming, but was not prepared for Miller’s suddenness – it took Miller only 2.8 seconds to maneuver around Tolbert and dispatch Remmers. Rather than simply sacking Newton, Miller tore the ball from Newton’s hands. Teammate Malik Jackson pounced on the ball in the end zone.

The Broncos led, 10-0, and Newton would not look comfortable for the

rest of the game. Coming into Super Bowl 50, it was supposed to be the Broncos who had never encountered a player like Newton. That may have been true, but from the sixth snap of the game, Miller made it clear: The Panthers had never had to deal with a player like him.

Just as Miller initiated the Broncos’ victory, he sealed it. Late in the fourth quarter, the Panthers trailed, 16-7, and desperately needed a drive.

Newton dropped back from his own 30. Remmers tried to block Miller 1-on-1, an unfair fight the entire game. Miller shoved Remmers in the chest, stepped around him and swatted the ball from Newton’s hand as he cocked to the throw.

When the Broncos recovered, the faint hope Carolina held had evaporated. Newton may have held the ball too long – the rush took 3.25 seconds.

But again, he didn’t anticipate Miller being able to reach him that quick on a deep drop.

In between Miller’s bookend sacks

came perhaps his most dazzling rush of the night. Late in the third quarter, he helped set up a third-and-long by stopping a running play with defensive tackle Derek Wolfe and then beating Remmers to force a scramble and incompletion. On that third down, Tolbert lined up to Remmers’s left, giving Miller a longer path to Newton.

Miller sprinted around Tolbert, darted inside, spun around Remmers – the only spin move he used all night – and dove to grab Newton’s legs. An offensive line coach grading the film would have a difficult time telling Remmers what he could have done differently. Miller was too freakishly fast to stop. Miller hadn’t just unleashed a move he’d kept holstered all night. In a rush that last three seconds flat, Miller took 13 steps, his feet pumping like twin jackhammers.

This image provided by Audi shows a scene from the company’s “The Commander” spot for Super Bowl 50. The ad features the new Audi R8 V10.

The spot showed a couple during a sonogram. When the mother throws away a bag of Doritos, the fetus seems to zoom after it, to the consternation of all present.

The ad made light of touchy and polarizing subjects like pregnancy, abortion and miscarriage. But brand experts said the ad worked for Doritos and did what it was intended to do – generate buzz.

“The use of a fetus clamoring for Doritos on a sonogram is risky and may offend some, but social media activity was off the charts for this ad and many consumers found it to be hilarious,” said Charles Taylor, a Villanova University marketing professor.

O’Keefe added, “It caught you a little off guard, but it fit the brand.”

Brian Kearney, from Morris County, New Jersey, was watching the game with about 15 people and said the ad was a hit with his friends.

“I thought it was hysterical,” he said.

“We all cracked up.”

OFFBEAT HUMOR Mountain Dew’s ad might have been Other ads with offbeat humor: Bud the weirdest ad of the night, but Doritos’ Light featured Amy Schumer and Seth ad also seemed likely to divide viewers. Rogen traveling around America pro-

monwealth University.

Heartfelt messages were in abundance, too. SunTrust urged people to take a breath and feel better about their financial health. BMW’s Mini urged people to “defy labels.”

Most ads managed to avoid the somber tone struck last year, when an ad for Nationwide about preventable household accidents bummed out many viewers.

Still, there were a couple of misfires.

Two pharmaceutical ads highlighted unappealing digestive conditions. One promoted an anti-diarrhea medication Xifaxan with a small-intestines mascot taking a seat at the Super Bowl. Another sought to raise awareness about “opioid-induced constipation.”

“This just isn’t a topic that people want to hear about during a Super Bowl,” said Villanova University marketing professor Charles Taylor.

Eight years after the financial meltdown, financial companies are feeling more comfortable promoting their products and services. Six advertised during the Super Bowl – SunTrust Banks, PayPal, Social Finance Inc., Quicken Loans, Intuit’s general brand and Intuit’s TurboTax. Most promoted optimistic messages about money. TurboTax, for instance, enlisted Anthony Hopkins to get out the message that you can file your taxes for free with TurboTax. PayPal’s music-video style ad asked people to embrace “New Money.”

“We’re officially over the mourning of 2008 [financial crisis],” said Mediapost columnist Barbara Lippert.

CINEMATIC ADS

Some advertisers created mini-movies.

Toyota went long with a 90-second ad depicting bank robbers who use a Prius 4 to escape from police. LG enlisted Liam Neeson in a futuristic spot showing off LG’s new TVs. Hyundai’s “The Chase” ad echoed “The Revenant” as it showed people escaping grizzly bears by using Hyundai’s remote-start feature.

“Super Bowl advertisers are sticking with light themes,” said Tim Calkins, a marketing professor at Northwestern’s Kellogg School of Management. “Last year we had serious ads about fathers and mortality. This year the ads are funny and creative.”

Super Bowl gets 111.9 million viewers, down from last year

By DAVID BAUDER

The Associated Press

NEW YORK – Setting television viewership records with the Super Bowl has become almost routine, but this year’s average of 111.9 million viewers for Denver’s victory over Carolina is down from the past two years.

That makes Sunday’s game the third most-watched event in U.S. television history, the Nielsen company said Monday. Last year’s down-to-the-wire contest between New England and Seattle keeps the record with 114.4 million viewers.

The Super Bowl had seemed to know no ceiling in popularity, setting viewer-

ship records in six of seven years until this one.

CBS, the nation’s most-watched network, had pushed the event hard the past few months, playing up the historical nature of the 50th Super Bowl game. But Denver’s 24-10 victory wasn’t a sizzler, with defenses dominating the marquee quarterback matchup between Peyton Manning and reigning NFL MVP Cam Newton.

Even more than television, social media reflected far less engagement in the game than there was last year, when the result was decided on a last-minute, goalline interception.

Twitter said that there were 16.9

million tweets about the game, sharply down from last year’s 25.1 million. Facebook reported that there were 200 million posts, comments or “likes,” down from 265 million last year. This year, 60 million people took to Facebook to converse about the game, while last year it was 65 million.

For both Twitter and Facebook, the moment of highest social media activity occurred in the minute after the halftime show featuring Coldplay, Beyonce and Bruno Mars. On Facebook the next most-commented upon moments came at the end of the game and following Lady Gaga’s rendition of the National Anthem.

Nielsen said 21.2 million stayed up to watch the special version of Stephen Colbert’s “The Late Show” that aired after the game. While it represented Colbert’s biggest audience ever, that was almost a given – and it was the smallest audience for a post-Super Bowl program since 17.4 million people watched “Alias” on ABC in 2003.

Colbert may have been hurt by the relatively late start, 10:54 p.m. on the East Coast, following post-game interviews and trophy presentations.

Nielsen said an average of 1.4 million computer users watched the live stream of the game. The stream had just under 4 million unique visitors during the game.

NEW YORK – From a strange creature called “Puppymonkeybaby” to a tear-inducing Audi ad, Super Bowl ads ran the gamut this year from offbeat humor to heartfelt messages.

On advertising’s biggest night, Chrysler celebrated Jeep with an ad featuring black-and-white portraits of veterans, kids and pop icons. In Audi’s spot, a depressed, aging astronaut remembers his joy for life by driving an Audi sports car with his son. And in a quirky Doritos ad, a fetus in a sonogram appears to rocket out of the womb to chase a bag of chips the mother angrily tossed away.

The goal for advertisers: to stand out and win over the 114 million-plus people watching the big game on Super Bowl Sunday, much the way the Denver Broncos triumphed over the Carolina Panthers. With ads costing a record $5 million for 30 seconds this year, the stakes are high to stand out from the 40-plus advertisers and be remembered.

In general, advertisers played it safe with universally liked celebrities such as Anthony Hopkins (TurboTax) and Ryan Reynolds (Hyundai), cute animals and pro-America themes.

“There’s relatively little going over the top,” said David Berkowitz, chief marketing officer at advertising agency MRY. Offbeat humor reigned with a creature called “Puppymonkeybaby” – pretty much exactly what it sounds like – in an ad for Mountain Dew’s Kickstart. The ad sought to show that three great things go together, as Kickstart combines Mountain Dew, juice and caffeine.

“It’s on my list of the weirdest ad of the night, but it’s very catchy and people will be talking about it,” said Kelly O’Keefe, a marketing professor at Virginia Com-

28 HORNETS 108, BULLS 91

Walker scores 30 as Hornets beat Bulls

By BILL KISER

The Associated Press CHARLOTTE, N.C. – The Charlotte Hornets are finally close to being 100 percent healthy again, and are working their way back into the Eastern Conference playoff picture.

Kemba Walker scored 30 points as the Hornets led from the start and bet the Bulls 108-91 on Monday night.

Charlotte (25-25) reached the .500 mark for the first time since it was 1717 on Jan. 4 in the midst of losing seven straight and nine out of 10.

The Hornets’ latest win was their second straight and fourth in the past five games, and left them just a halfgame behind eighth-place Detroit in the Eastern Conference standings.

“To be back at .500 a game before the All-Star break, that shows where we are,” said Charlotte guard Nicolas Batum, who had 19 points and 13 rebounds. “We’ve had a lot of injuries and stuff like that . but guys kept fighting and never gave up. We’ve been through

a lot, but we’re still almost there.”

Michael Kidd-Gilchrist added 20 points and Spencer Hawes scored 13 for Charlotte, which led by as many as 25 points in handing the Bulls their third straight loss.

Pau Gasol finished with 22 points and 10 rebounds for the Bulls, which was missing three of its leading scorers to injuries: Derrick Rose, Jimmy Butler and Nikola Mirotic.

“We have to put this trip behind us,” Bulls coach Fred Hoiberg said. “It was a long, grinding trip — four games in six days in four different time zones.

It took a toll on our guys.”

The Hornets led by as many as 22 points in the first half en route to a 5742 lead, and pulled ahead 78-53 with 3:42 left in the third quarter on two free throws by Kidd-Gilchrist.

The Bulls managed to cut Charlotte’s lead to 90-78 on McDermott’s 3-pointer with 6:53 left in the fourth quarter. But the Hornets responded with an 8-2 run, and led by at least 13 points the rest of the game.

Heart attacks may differ in men, women Most common symptom in women is fatigue

By JEANNE MILLSAP

Shaw Media correspondent Women are more likely to die of cardiac disease than men, tend to be undertreated when they do have a heart attack and are less likely to participate in cardiac rehabilitation after a heart attack, according to a new study reported by the American Heart Association.

Dr. Mary Gordon, cardiologist at Presence Medical Group in Joliet, said one reason women are more likely to die of heart disease than men is that many times they don’t seek medical attention as quickly.

“Women tend to present later,” Gordon said. “Many times, men, at the first sign that something is wrong, will present to their doctor. ... Women have a tendency to ignore their pain for a long time. It always breaks my heart when I hear, ‘I didn’t want to bother anyone.’ They wait and wait and wait.”

The longer a heart attack continues, Gordon said, the more damage the heart suffers.

“You need to get blood flow back to the heart muscle quickly,” Gordon said.

Gordon said medical professionals in the Joliet area are – in general – good at recognizing the varying heart attack symptoms of women, but there still are physicians who misdiagnose.

Common in women, as in men, is chest pain or discomfort. But other symptoms can be different.

“The most common symptom is excessive fatigue,” Gordon said. “A lot of women just chalk up the fatigue to working too hard. ... For weeks or even months prior to a heart attack, they say they just feel so exhausted.”

In many cases, Gordon said, heart attack chest pain in women may be more understated than in men.

“They may complain about heartburn kind of symptoms,” Gordon said.

“They may have nausea a little more frequently with heart attacks [than men do], as well as sweating, neck pain or jaw pain, and pain that radiates in their back or jaw.”

Other symptoms can include pressure, squeezing, fullness or pain

Eric Ginnard - eginnard@shawmedia.com

Peg Ebert of Morris had a takotsubo cardiomyopathy, also known as a stress-induced heart attack. Ebert now displays a women’s heart health flag in front of her house. in the center of the chest that may go away and come back; pain or discomfort in one or both arms, the neck or stomach; shortness of breath with or without chest discomfort; and lightheadedness.

Morris woman experiences atypical heart attack

Peg Ebert of Morris had been retired less than two months from her career as an elementary teacher in the Troy school district when she had a takotsubo cardiomyopathy, also known as a stress-induced heart attack.

Nine of 10 who have one of these rare attacks are women. The condition is beginning to receive recognition.

The first one identified was in 1990 in Japan. United States physicians recognized their first case in 1998, according to a journal of the American Heart Association.

Ebert had been stressed leading up to the attack. While looking forward to a retirement of traveling, relaxing, reading and visiting her daughter in Minnesota, she was hit by several blows virtually simultaneously.

First, she was diagnosed with GERD, or gastroesophageal reflux disease. Ebert also discovered she had small intestine bacterial overgrowth, and then she came down with a bad case of the flu.

Finally, Ebert’s nephew, only 24 years old, was shot and killed. Several days after they laid him to rest, Ebert felt something deep down in her chest.

“I thought maybe my GERD’s getting worse,” Ebert said.

Feeling embarrassed at fussing over nothing, Ebert decided not to bother her husband – who was mowing the lawn – and drove herself to the emergency room.

Ebert’s EKG was normal, but blood tests showed enzymes suggesting a heart attack. An angiogram was normal. Ebert had no plaque blocking her arteries. An echocardiogram, however, showed muscle damage and a blood clot in her left ventricle.

“My cardiologist had never seen this before,” Ebert said. “He was sending [images] to other doctors all over the country.”

Ebert spent four days in the inten-

sive care unit and a week in another area of the hospital before being released. Today, six months after her heart attack, Ebert is doing well. She’s even taken a pilgrimage to Israel and Jordan.

Seeking medical care immediately for heart problems is essential, said Morris Hospital cardiovascular clinical educator Pat Cravens.

“A lot of women tend to put it off as they age, not thinking it could be heart-related,” Cravens said. “And women are more often caregivers who don’t focus on themselves.”

Cravens said women should know the symptoms of heart disease and immediately seek care if they experience those symptoms. They also should know their risk factors, Cravens added, and ways to lower them.

Nevertheless, some women focus more on preventing cancer than preventing heart disease, Cravens said.

“Only one in five women believe heart disease is their greatest health threat,” Cravens said, “but heart disease is more deadly for women than all forms of cancer together.”

HEALTH BRIEFS Bertino-Tarrant receives award from psychologists association

SPRINGFIELD – Sen. Jennifer Bertino-Tarrant, D-Shorewood, has received an award from the Illinois School Psychologists Association in appreciation of her sponsoring legislation that supports schools and schoolchildren in Illinois.

Bertino-Tarrant worked with the Illinois School Psychologists Association in 2014 to get a law approved that makes it easier for school psychologists and other school support personnel to become principals.

House Bill 5286, which Bertino-Tarrant sponsored, allows school psychologists who have four or more years’ experience to become principals. They would also still have to complete a principal preparation program and have a master’s degree or higher.

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips together. We played Barbies, went on adventures, shopping, saw movies and had sleepovers. As we grew older, we began trusting each other with our lives. I could tell her anything and everything, and I was there for her whenever she needed support or a shoulder to cry on.

However, now that we are older, we slowly have noticed small differences in our lives. She became focused on her studies and art. I joined the cheerleading squad and became interested in meeting new people. Our lives have diverged, and now it’s as if we have become complete strangers.

I want our friendship to go back to the way it was.

What can I say or do to show her I miss the old her?

– Confused Ex-Friend Dear Confused: As people mature, it is not uncommon for their interests to diverge. This is normal, and it might be what has happened with you and your longtime friend. If you miss the closeness you once had, tell her so. But do not expect it magically to return your relationship to what it was.

You both are sharing another adventure now – exploring the interests and relationships you are developing as adults. It’s possible in the future your paths will converge again. When people are true friends, their ability to communicate on a meaningful level can last forever despite intervals when they are not in contact.

Soup to Nutz

Dear Abby: My stepson just turned 7. My husband was granted custody because the mother was declared unfit due to her drug abuse. She was granted supervised visits until she can pass two consecutive drug tests.

Over the past year and a half, her visits have become few and far between. My husband and I think it would be a good idea for “Tony” to start seeing a therapist again. He doesn’t talk about his mother often, and I’m worried he may be bottling up a lot of his feelings.

Tony is starting to ask more questions about his mom – like why he can’t stay the night with her, why he can’t live with her and why he hasn’t seen her much lately. I try not to say anything negative about her.

Is it time to explain the situation to him? He is still so young, and I don’t know how to explain things in a way he would understand. If you were me, what would you do?

– Stepmom In Alabama Dear Stepmom: You and your husband are wise to want to prevent problems before they happen. If I were in your situation, I would talk to Tony’s therapist, explain what’s going on and ask for pointers regarding his questions and his behavior.

My instinct would be to tell the boy his mother doesn’t see him because she is sick. It’s the truth. When he’s older, he will need to know there may be an inherited predisposition to addiction in his family – but for now that can wait. Definitely contact the therapist if you think he/she was a good one.

Dear Abby: I used to be best friends with this girl I met in kindergarten. Over the years we became like sisters and did everything

Hypnotherapy can relieve pain Dear Dr. K: I am in near-constant pain because of arthritis. My doctor suggested I try hypnotherapy. My first reaction was it sounds like hokum, but now I’m wondering if it could help. What do you think?

Dear Reader: Hypnotherapy may help with pain management. These days it is used to treat many mental and physical health problems. I spoke to my colleague Dr. Max Shapiro, a psychologist with Harvard-affiliated Massachusetts General Hospital. He explained hypnotherapy is most effective in treating problems that require stronger control over the body’s responses. Pain is a good example; insomnia is another.

Hypnotherapy turns your attention inward. A hypnotherapist helps you enter a trancelike state. In that state, your attention is highly focused, so you’re more responsive to suggestions. With the guidance of a hypnotherapist, you can start to control or alter your thoughts, feelings and physical state.

A hypnotic trance empowers you to activate neural circuits that otherwise are inactive.

When activated, this circuitry can reduce pain, among other things.

Let’s consider insomnia. Hypnosis can be very effective in blocking out the distracting chatter that interferes with sleep. A hypnotherapist will first teach a patient how to go into a trance. Once in a trance, the patient will focus on his or her own past experience of falling asleep easily, effortlessly and comfortably. The patient then will be taught to practice going into a trance at bedtime and re-creating those feelings.

About half of people who use hypnotherapy for insomnia see improvement after a few sessions. Others require several more sessions. Only about one in 10 people won’t find it useful.

Frank & Earnest

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff The success rate for hypnotherapy in treating pain is much more complicated. That might be because the source and nature of pain can vary so widely. Some people experience quick and long-lasting relief; others find it more challenging.

Hypnotherapy may be much more effective for some people than for others. In part, a successful outcome depends on how committed you are. For hypnotherapy to work, you will need to put the lessons learned at each session into practice at home. If you need an outside voice to help you focus inward, recordings might help to get you into a trance state.

Hypnotherapy typically is a complementary therapy. That means it should be part of a broader treatment plan that may include more traditional pain relief techniques and medications, if needed.

Like most doctors, I was skeptical hypnosis really could work to help relieve suffering. It seemed like magic, and I don’t believe in magic. But now we know the brain experiences symptoms – like pain – and the brain has its own natural ways of relieving those symptoms. However, those “natural” ways often lie dormant and need to be activated. Hypnosis is a way of activating the brain’s ability to quiet bothersome symptoms.

LOW COST ROOFING LLC. Wilson Mizner, a playwright who died in 1933, said, “Some of the greatest love affairs I’ve known have involved one actor -- unassisted.”

At the bridge table, sometimes one defender can singlehandedly defeat a contract. But more often the defenders need to cooperate, signaling carefully -- assuming each is watching the cards, of course.

In today’s deal, West might come up with the right answer unassisted, but East can make his life so much easier. South is in four spades. How should the defenders work together to take four tricks after West leads the club ace?

North’s three-spade response was a modern gadget: In competitive auctions, jump raises are pre-emptive.

He was showing four-card support (getting to the nine-trick level with a nine-card fit) and less than game-invitational values. With a stronger hand, he would have cue-bid three clubs.

Here, South’s raise to game was debatable. He was hoping dummy would be very short in clubs and that he could ruff his losers in that suit without East’s being able to overruff.

At trick two, West will cash the club king. What should East discard?

If he throws a discouraging diamond deuce, maybe West will find the heart shift, but it is doubtful. He is much more likely to lead a third club, hoping East can overruff the dummy. Here, though, South can ruff with dummy’s spade eight, draw trumps, and claim an overtrick.

Instead, East should signal boldly with the heart king -- top of touching honors since he couldn’t win the trick. Then it will be easy for West.
