Police: Man shot by cops had four guns

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Police say a man was carrying two assault rifles and two pistols when he was shot by officers Tuesday night.

Joliet Police Chief Brian Benton said an argument between a husband and wife escalated into a physical confrontation about 7:50 p.m. at their residence in the 2400 block of Rockwood Drive in Joliet.

“The victim left the residence to call police and waited for them around the corner.

She flagged down the officers when they arrived,” Benton said. “She had visible injuries.”

As the two officers approached the residence from opposite sides of the front yard, Benton said the 41-yearold man came out of the front door brandishing two semiautomatic assault rifles.

“When he pointed the rifle at one of the officers, the other

yelled at him to drop the weapon and he turned toward that officer,” Benton said.

Benton said both officers fired their service weapons at the man – striking him several times. After he was handcuffed and loaded into an ambulance, two handguns were found on his body, according to Benton.

The man was taken to Silver Cross Hospital in New Lenox and later flown to Loyola Medical Center in Maywood, where he was upgraded to stable condition Thursday.

Benton said Thursday afternoon the Will County State’s Attorney’s Office is reviewing criminal charges against him.

Police did not identify the man who was shot as of Thursday afternoon, but reported he has no criminal history.

The officers also sought treatment for injuries not considered life-threatening. They will be placed on administrative leave while the incident is investigated, which is depart-

ment policy.

This is the second officer-involved shooting in Joliet in as many weeks. On March 2, a resident of the 100 block of Mississippi Avenue said two men had stolen her wallet and threatened to shoot her when she followed them in her car.

A responding officer stopped Shaquille C. Barrow, 20, and Shawn M. Miller, 21, near First Avenue and Richards Street and found Barrow was carrying a handgun, according to Benton. Barrow allegedly took off running and was taking the gun out of his pocket when the officer shot him, police have said.

Barrow, a parolee with a lengthy criminal history, died the next day. Miller allegedly fled the scene and is being sought on charges of theft, obstructing justice and assault.

Benton said Thursday the officer involved in that incident remains on administrative leave while interviews are completed.

Joliet police seek public’s help in car shooting

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Police believe a 20-year-old Joliet woman was slain Tuesday because of the vehicle she was riding in.

“Based on preliminary reports and witness interviews, it appears the vehicle was targeted, not the occupants,” Joliet Police Chief Brian Benton said Wednesday.

At 5:51 p.m., Jourdyn J. Williamson was riding in the passenger seat of a silver Saturn that turned into the 100 block of Mississippi Avenue in Joliet. Benton said another woman was driving and three

young children occupied the backseat.

A group of six to eight black men were “standing on the side of the street and opened fire when they saw the vehicle,” Benton said. “There was more than one shooter.”

Williamson was shot in the forehead before the Saturn sped away to the parking lot of a convenience store near Second Avenue and Richards Street, Benton said. The children riding in the vehicle were not injured. The men ran from the scene.

A Joliet Fire Department ambulance took Williamson to Presence Saint Joseph Med-

ical Center in Joliet, where she was pronounced dead at 6:36 p.m.

“There has been no description of the suspects and we are asking for the public’s help,” Benton said. Anyone with information can call detectives at 815-724-3020 or anonymously call Crime Stoppers at 800-323-6734.

Attempts Wednesday to contact family and friends of Williamson were not successful.

Benton said Tuesday’s homicide is unrelated to a March 2 officer-involved shooting incident that began in the same block of Mississippi Avenue.

Joliet teachers use computer program to help students

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Zamirah Ellis may have been several grades behind in math when she came to Joliet Central High School, but she quickly caught up this school year.

Ellis is a ninth-grade student who started behind by several grade levels in math when she began taking algebra at Joliet Central. But a support class taught by ninth-grade teacher Israel Velazquez using a computer system to track student progress helped her get to where she needed to be.

“It was great,” Ellis said about the class. “It made me more confident in my regular algebra class because now I’m more confident in my answers.”

Ellis worked Monday morning on math problems with her laptop along with other students in the algebra support class. Students use the computers to access a program called Renaissance Math, which assesses where each one is at in his or her math ability and helps them progress with problems, tests and videos.

Velazquez, a former accountant and Chicago middle-school teacher, said the support class tries to meet each student’s ability level and bring them as close to the ninth-grade level as possible.

“We’re trying to intertwine both needs, so to speak,” he said.

Joliet Township High School District 204 implemented its accelerated math support class last school year to bridge the gap in the math skills of freshmen who come to the high schools. The goal is not only to bring students to the right math level, but to also prepare them for college.

JTHS Curriculum Director Mary Balsie said about 50 to 60 percent of students come

to the schools unprepared for math.

“It’s a struggle our community had for a long time with students not being college

ready,” she said. “We work in conjunction with our [middle] schools to close that gap.”

Velazquez teaches two classes: a regular algebra class

and a support class. With the support class, he has students work at their own pace. Some students progress fast while others (are) stagnant, he said.

He had one student who started out at a fourth-grade level and advanced to an

Evergreen Terrace jury visits Joliet Opening arguments give different views of housing complex Finally, they decided walk around the complex and then started going into buildings.

They visited two separate apartment buildings and were let into unoccupied units in each building to see what the apartments looked like. They walked throughout the complex. The jurors also walked into the leasing office at Evergreen Terrace twice.

By BOB OKON bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Jurors in the Evergreen Terrace trial got their first close-up look at Joliet on Wednesday with a visit to the low-income apartment complex on Broadway Street.

The “jury view” of Evergreen Terrace followed opening arguments at the Dirksen Federal Building in Chicago, where lawyers told them what to expect from appraisers on both sides in a trial likely to end by Tuesday.

The city of Joliet, which is exercising eminent domain over Evergreen Terrace but is waiting to hear the price before deciding to buy the complex, is asking the jury to value Evergreen Terrace at $14.3 million.

Evergreen Terrace will put an appraiser on the stand who will value the property at $22.3 million, said attorney James Benak, who represents the owners.

“I’d ask you just to reserve your opinion until you see the property and judge for yourself,” Benak told the jury about an hour before they got on the bus and headed to Joliet.

Evergreen Terrace law-

Evergreen Terrace history Lathan Goumas – lgoumas@shawmedia.com

Members of a jury walk around the outside of Evergreen Terrace in Joliet on Wednesday. yers wanted jurors to visit the property before reaching a verdict on what the city should pay.

Some of the jurors, when they were questioned before being selected, said they had never been to Joliet or had simply driven through it.

The 12-member jury includes a Bolingbrook man who works in Joliet and a Homer Glen woman who said she goes to the Rialto Square Theatre and Joliet restaurants.

None of the jurors said they were familiar with Evergreen Terrace or knew anything about the city of

Joliet’s condemnation case against the private owners of the 10-acre complex.

Evergreen Terrace visit

Their visit to Evergreen Terrace lasted about 50 minutes.

U.S. District Judge Charles Norgle had instructed jurors not to talk with people at Evergreen Terrace, but simply to view the facility.

That led to awkward moments after they got off the bus. Although they were greeted by the property manager, jurors stood around for about 10 minutes appearing not to know what to do next.

Attorney James Figliulo, representing Joliet, told the jurors in his opening statement, “When you see the property, your decision process doesn’t stop there. It starts there.”

Figliulo offered the jury a history of Evergreen Terrace, saying, “It was built in the mid-1960s and then fell into serious disrepair. Part of it was demolished and redeveloped.”

He said the current owners acquired the property in 1979 or 1980.

Figliulo said the federal government put $5 million into Evergreen Terrace between 2007 and 2012, “to fix it up for the people who live there” and has put in more money since then.

Evergreen Terrace is privately owned, but the rent

is subsidized with Section 8 grants from the federal government.

Figliulo also said “this property has been plagued by crime – serious crime – for decades. It’s considered by the chief of police the most dangerous place in Joliet.”

Evergreen Terrace in demand

Benak presented a different view of Evergreen Terrace in his opening statement.

“You’ll hear testimony that the waiting list for this property is in the hundreds.

Hundreds of people are waiting to get into this property,” Benak told the jury. “You’ll also hear testimony that these types of properties are in high demand by investors.”

The city’s case against Evergreen Terrace included an argument that the density – the number of apartments per acre – is too high. But Benak said that density adds to the value of Evergreen Terrace.

He said Hugh Edfors, the appraiser for the owners, “will tell you that density on a property is not a negative.

It’s a positive because the more people you can put on a property the more revenue.”

Crest Hill man pleads guilty to shaking baby Sentenced to 12 years in prison

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A Crest Hill man was sentenced Wednesday to 12 years behind bars

for shaking a baby.

Virgil L. Rogers, 34, pleaded guilty to one count of aggravated battery to a child Virgil in exchange for Rogers other charges being dropped.

On Jan. 2, 2014, Rogers was caring for his then 2-month-old son at his residence in the 500 block of Elsie Avenue when he shook the baby, Assistant Will County State’s Attorney Kathryn Tinich told Judge Carla Alessio Policandriotes Wednesday.

“The infant suffered a subdural hematoma and was

later diagnosed with a skull fracture. [Rogers] admitted to shaking his son,” Tinich said.

Tinich said subsequent tests have shown the boy is reaching normal developmental milestones. The child is not in his mother’s custody, she said.

Rogers did not make a statement during the hear-

ing, only answering monotone “yes” and “no” while staring at Alessio Policandriotes’ bench.

Rogers was previously convicted of aggravated robbery in Cook County and domestic battery and burglary in Lake County. He will not be eligible for parole for 10 years.

Show goes on: JCTV to film mayoral debate

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com JOLIET – There’s yet another twist in Thursday’s Joliet mayoral debate.

Joliet Community Television – the city’s public access channel – will tape Thursday night’s mayoral debate. The decision comes after the organization’s president, Dick Schuster, pulled the plug Monday after learning all three candidates were not planning to participate in the debate.

Mayor Tom Giarrante backed out of the debate late last week.

Julia Alexander, another member from JCTV, said Wednesday she will tape the debate, saying it’s a community event that “needs to be out in the public.” It won’t air live, but will be aired on Channel 6 several times leading up to the April 7 election.

Different stories

Depending on who you ask, you’ll get a different story about who’s behind Schuster’s initial decision.

Prior to reports of JCTV’s cancellation Tuesday, there were claims, detailed in a news release sent Monday evening to local media, from event organizers that claimed Giarrante pressured Schuster to cancel the taping. The mayor has steadfastly denied that, and those making the claim have not provided proof to back up their assertion.

Schuster said Wednesday the decision was made on his

own accord, and that it’s a “downright lie” that the mayor contacted him to influence his decision in any way.

But District 1 Councilman Larry Hug said Wednesday that he and Schuster spoke over the phone after Hug learned about JCTV’s cancellation Monday from a member of the news media.

The reporter called, Hug said, saying JCTV was pulling out and that the reporter had been told the mayor was behind it. The reporter called Hug to see if he knew anything, and noted the mayor could not immediately be reached for comment, Hug said.

“I said, ‘The first I’ve heard of this is right now,’” Hug said, recalling the conversation. Hug said he then called Schuster to find out why JCTV backed out.

“During the course of our conversation, he got frustrated,” Hug said. “And then he said ‘Larry, if I’m made to do this, Tom is going to get really mad at me.’”

Schuster told The Herald-News on Wednesday he doesn’t remember saying that during the conversation.

“I don’t remember saying that,” Schuster said late Wednesday. “Why would he do this? Why would [Hug] say that?”

Schuster said he was “all shook up” after the conversation with Hug.

‘City has no authority’

Schuster, having already

decided he didn’t want to film the event, was informed by City Attorney Martin Shanahan and City Manager Jim Hock shortly after 5 p.m.

Monday that filming the debate could potentially violate the city’s ethics ordinance because JCTV would use cityowned equipment for political purposes.

Then, upon further review, Hock said Wednesday, the city attorney learned JCTV can tape political debates at its own discretion and that the city cannot control programming.

Hock on Wednesday confirmed the conversation between he and Schuster.

He said he first learned of the debate, and JCTV’s backing out, when Hug approached him prior to that conversation.

Hock was the one who raised red flags to Schuster about whether it’s against the city’s ethics code to film the debate, Hock said.

Hug said he told Hock the city had no authority to block JCTV from filming the debate.

“It’s not fair to the public,” Hug said.

With Giarrante declining the invitation, his two opponents – Councilman Bob O’Dekirk, and Andy Mihelich, chairman of the Joliet Junior College Board – are set to battle it out onstage during the debate, which starts at 6:30 p.m. Thursday and is being held at Cantigny VFW Post 367, 826 Horseshoe Drive.

Plainfield Township Park District considers plan to compost manure

March Madness

is the best time for a SNIP!

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – Plainfield Township Park District commissioners said a plan by staff to compost manure left behind by horses at the Normantown Trails Equestrian Center needs more work.

But what smelled real fishy at Wednesday’s board meeting was the lowest bidder on several parks projects, which staff identified as a nonresponsible bidder after contacting other park districts.

In his staff report, Director of Parks Gene Coldwater sought board direction to move forward on a plan to create a feasible composting program using the manure from horses.

Currently, the park district pays $260 a week for a 30-cubic-yard manure dumpster to be picked up. Starting a small composting program could allow the park district to eliminate one pickup every month, saving the district $3,120 a year.

“This has been a long-running question in the district ever since we took over the equestrian center, how to get rid of the manure,” Coldwater said.

Coldwater said his research revealed that using a storebought product yielded better growth than manure, which is unpredictable. Landscapers and farmers said they weren’t interested in the manure.

Also, several park districts compost in smaller amounts, he said.

The cost of acquiring new concrete bins was estimated at $3,000, and it would require $500 in monthly maintenance to produce 4 cubic yards.

But there is always the smell.

“That’s the huge issue with composting manure,” Commissioner Larry Newton said.

Commissioners were concerned that composting at the Normantown Trails Equestrian Center at 12151 S. Normantown Road was too close to homes in the area. Also, transporting the manure to a different composting site would require driving through populated areas.

A clearer cost savings estimate wasn’t available.

The Plainfield Township Park District’s new director of parks and procurement, Jennifer Rooks-Lopez, presents designs for a new playground at Mayfair Park at Wednesday’s board meeting in the Plainfield Township Community Center.

“I am definitely not [opposed to composting],” Newton said. “I don’t think we’ve investigated it fully yet.”

Continental Construction

The board needed to reject the lowest bidder on several large parks projects because the construction company yielded negative reviews.

Evanston-based Continental Construction LLC lost out on $222,800 for three parks contracts because of bad reviews from other park districts.

Director of Planning Jennifer Rooks-Lopez said after the meeting that she couldn’t

e Get all of th

confirm if Continental was the same company that the Shorewood-Troy Public Library had issues with for its major construction project.

The Mayfair Park site development project, which included updating it to ADA standards, new play equipment, landscaping and improved lighting, bid was awarded at $160,732 to Plainfield-based Fuerte Systems, which also won a $56,065 bid for ADA path and seating improvements for Four Seasons Park, and a $42,265.44 bid for shelter improvements at Olde Renwick and Whisper Glen.

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

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

Modern Health & Wellness

This Health Footpad is so Powerful it Has Doctors Talking About It!

Before

After

Stimulating the reflexology points on the soles of the feet helps draw out the harmful toxins that ruin good health.

In the last couple years, millions of people across the country have experienced, for the first time, the amazing, soothing and cleansing overnight effect of Detox Foot Pads.

Detox foot pads are a true healing wonder that go far beyond removing toxins. In fact, they work so fast, throughout the whole body, and so effectively, that most people are shocked when they first use them.

Harmful “Gunk” and Toxins Out, Health, Healing and Energy In Many people are surprised to learn that feet are a key gateway to better health.

The Japanese, who enjoy FAR better health than we do as Americans, have known this secret for thousands of years.

In fact, the ancient art of foot reflexology is based on Japanese healing methods that date back six thousand years. Acupuncturists know this as well and treat patients for most of their health problems by starting with the feet.

Different parts of the soles of our feet significantly affect the health of other areas of the body. This has been proven again and again by numerous medical studies carried out by world-renowned hospitals and universities.

The soles of our feet also play an important role in our health by being at the lowest point in the body, where gravity collects harmful, health and energy-sapping toxins that have no way to come out. This toxic purging happens by gently stimulating the reflexology zones on the feet.

And there’s no better health “tool” on earth to help your body remove harmful, built-up chemicals, toxic metals, excess lymph fluid and “gunk” than a Detox Foot Pad. Plus, they are far easier to use than other popular cleansing methods that include fasting, and remedies that violently purge the digestive system.

They Work While You Sleep so…

You’ll be Amazed When You Wake!

After applying one to the bottom of each foot before bed, detox foot pads go to work as you sleep. Then, after a night of drawing out and trapping unhealthy toxins, what users see in the morning is shocking. The brown, gunkfilled pad is evidence of what’s inside your body that needs to come out.

Once this harmful buildup is removed, most people say they feel “invigorated.”

They experience a unique, effective, fullbody cleansing from the inside out that allows more energy and better health immediately.

Detox Foot Pads are all natural. No chemicals or drugs are used. Only healing ingredients that are designed to draw this unwanted toxic buildup out quickly and then replace it with nutrients that heal your body.

• Improves leg circulation for diabetics • Helps back, neck and shoulder problems • Sharpens memory and concentration • Reduces stress, anxiety and depression • Smooths wrinkled, sagging skin • Helps relieve arthritis joint pain • Lowers high blood pressure • Clears up bowel problems • Fights obesity • Adds energy and fights fatigue • Improves sexual dysfunction • Boosts the immune system • Makes for better sleep at night When it comes to quality, industry leader, RESET Soothing Detox Foot Pads, have a reputation for being safe, effective and filled only with natural, potent ingredients, instead of fillers.

In fact, they include nine different safe, high-quality, fast-acting natural ingredients to draw out the waste in your body that makes you tired, unhealthy and unfocused.

Doctors are now recommending that we take nutritional supplements daily. The health benefits of doing so are overwhelming. Most people are not aware, however, that you can use supplements to pull harmful toxins OUT of your body. Toxins that are robbing you of your good health and that are also making you fatigued by stealing your energy.

The pore structure in our feet allow toxins to be pulled out of our body and allow healing nutrients into our body.

That’s Right, You Can Remove Toxins Through Your Feet!

More Focus, Vitality and Energy. No Mess, No Hassle….Just Results!

Doctor-approved Detox foot pads have now been used by millions of people to improve their daily health and energy.

Detox Foot Pads Offer Fast, Full Body Health Benefits No other cleansing method can offer this improved full body health overnight: • Relieves leg and foot pain and swelling

To get the fast health benefits that RESET Soothing Detox Foot Pads offer simply apply one to the bottom of each foot before bed. That’s it. No mess or hassle it couldn’t be easier. You’ll love waking up and seeing all the toxins removed.

Man gets six months in jail for swearing at deputy in courtroom JOLIET – A man was sentenced Wednesday to six months in jail for profanely insulting a judge and sheriff’s deputy earlier this week.

Michael H. Moon, 65, appeared before Judge Edward Burmila on Monday on auto theft charges. Moon has sometimes used a wheelchair for court appearances and did so Monday. Before jurors entered the courtroom for an unrelated trial, Burmila took a break and went into the hallway while Will County Sheriff’s Deputy Helen Reynolds escorted Moon from the courtroom.

“While the door was open and the defendant was being wheeled out, he said, ‘We need a new [expletive] deputy in here,’ ” Burmila said Wednesday. “The court admonished him not to swear and he said, ‘She’s an [expletive].’ ” Although the judge told Moon to refrain from using profanity for a second time, Moon described Reynolds using a word many women find extremely vulgar and said Burmila could perform an act that is anatomically impossible.

Because jurors were coming into the courtroom, Moon was taken back to the county jail. He reportedly refused to cooperate and come to court Tuesday, but did so on Wednesday.

“The defendant’s conduct embarrassed the court, impeded the cause of justice and was offensive to the deputy,” Burmila said Wednesday. Burmila said Moon will serve 180 days for direct contempt independent of the outcome of his criminal case.

Moon sat in the jury box throughout Wednesday’s proceedings while Reynolds and several other deputies stood nearby. He indicated he would address Burmila before he was sentenced, but declined to do so when the judge offered him the opportunity.

“He’s slick. He wanted me to sink my own boat,” Moon told Assistant Will County Public Defender Philip Villasenor before Burmila pronounced the sentence.

Romeoville police stopped

Moon on July 30, 2012, while he was allegedly driving a 1993 Plymouth Voyager with a South Dakota license plate. According to court records, Moon, a resident of Green Island, New

York, claimed he did not realize he was driving a stolen vehicle because he is partly blind.

He also has argued laws do not apply to him because of his Native American heritage.

Clinical trials for cancer treatments offered close to home SPONSORED BY

The University of Chicago Medicine Comprehensive Cancer Center at Silver Cross Hospital in New Lenox offers patients more than 300 clinical trials, These research studies that seek new and better ways to detect and treat cancers of every type are the same ones available at the university’s main campus in Chicago – more than any other hospital in Illinois, according to medical oncologist Dr. Brooke Phillips.

“Every clinical trial is different,” Phillips said, “but some require weekly treatments, so participating here in New Lenox is much more convenient than going into Chicago.”

She said patients appreciate the convenience and, often, will agree to participate because they don’t have to travel.

“For many, the travel alone would be too much physically,” Phillips said. “And they don’t have to pay for parking.

That may sound like a little thing, but things like that are huge for patients.”

Along with the convenience of staying close to home, Phillips said patients opt to participate because they receive innovative treatments that would not be available otherwise. For example, those treatments might include procedures or medications that have shown promise, but have not yet been approved by the Food and Drug Administration.

Phillips said every clinical trial is different, depending on the type of cancer.

“Some of our patients have gotten involved because of the specific molecular features of cancer,” she said.

Just a few of the clinical trials treat various, gastric, stomach, colorectal, pancreatic, kidney, liver, brain, breast, lung, prostate, gynecological, pediatric cancers and many more.

eighth-grade level. Another started out at an eighth-grade level and stayed there. And another, he said, was progressing so well he may move the student to a 10th-grade level geometry class.

“The student still needs to be motivated to want to succeed … it’s all a matter of how far they want to go or how far they want to catch up,” he said.

The computer system updates Velazquez on student progress and signals when he might need to intervene. Each student uses math libraries set at his or her current math ability and move on to other libraries as the class goes on.

The system uses benchmark assessments three times a year to gauge progress.

Velazquez said he also is trying to teach his students not to always ask for teacher help when encountering an issue. Students can use resourc-

es such as a worked-out example, videos or another student to assist them.

“It’s sort of like a structured chaos type of environment,” Velazquez said about the support classes. “So If I’m helping a student on one thing and I’ve got a little bit of a line waiting for my assistant, then I’m going to assign that 10thgrade student, I’ll have her help a certain individual on a sixth-grade library.”

Balsie said support classes change every year. This support class system is useful to the school district because it’s very “data-driven,” she said.

“We’re searching for a program that could give us data that was very meaningful,” she said. “So that we could look into moving a student from a fourth-grade to a ninthgrade library over the course of a year.”

Balsie said she expects the accelerated math program to be used more in algebra classrooms in the future. Next year, teachers may use it in geometry support classes and,

Facing unknowns, Shorewood budgets conservatively

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com SHOREWOOD – The $29 million 2015-16 budget approved Tuesday by the Shorewood Village Board is budgeted conservatively, officials say, but dependent on several unknowns.

Finance Director Anne Burkholder said several external factors guided the budget process this year. Gov. Bruce Rauner presented a plan last month to take half of municipalities’ shares of the Local Government Distributive Funds.

Shorewood budgeted as if there will be no change in the distribution.

“The administration and board’s standpoint right now is that until we know what the state is going to do, we didn’t incorporate that information in the budget,” Burkholder said, adding that the budget could be amended in the future.

Burkholder also said the budget could change with the passage of a referendum on the April 7 ballot that will ask residents if Shorewood should be home rule.

The balanced general fund

“... until we know what the state is going to do, we didn’t incorporate that information in the budget.”

Anne Burkholder Shorewood finance director budget has increased from this year’s budget by 1.05 percent, to $11.42 million.

Expenditures from other main funds in the budget include $9.08 million in capital improvements, $4.03 million in the water and sewer fund, and $2.19 million in capital projects.

Revenues from those funds are $8.40 million in capital improvements, $4.85 million in water and sewer and $2.19 million in capital projects.

Expense changes

Major funds in the 2015-16 general fund budget have not changed much from this year, Burkholder said. But some smaller changes reflect several decisions the board made last year.

The Shorewood Emergency Management Agency budget dipped 52.68 percent, to $28,077

in planned expenses, because of the purchase of two tornado sirens last year.

The economic development budget went up 75.09 percent, to $104,088, because of the hiring of The Retail Coach.

The special events budget was merged with the parks administration budget, and parks programs increased 54 percent, to $201,029.

For capital projects, funds allocated for the soon-to-becompleted Mound Road water tower project will drop from $5.75 million to $5.25 million next fiscal year.

The Route 59 street lighting project is complete and will come off the books, along with the $700,000 Edgewater subdivision street improvements.

primarily due to the success residential developers have had in the Edgewater and Towne Center neighborhoods, according to the budget report.

At the State of the Village address Tuesday, Mayor Rick Chapman said one way to offset

Easter fun in Manhattan and New Lenox

While tax revenue will only increase 0.83 percent to $8.70 million in next year’s budget, the permits and fees budget has increased 39.81 percent, to $377,500.

“Building and commercial permits are hard to forecast,” Burkholder said.

The village budgeted for $270,000 in fees this year, but is projected to receive $474,915,

JOLIET – A 38-year-old man pleaded guilty Wednesday to having sex with a teenage girl while her mother watched them.

Leonard Wrona pleaded guilty to two counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse in exchange for other charges being dropped. Wrona of Joliet could face consecutive sentences of three to seven years in prison when he is sentenced

by Judge Carla Alessio Policandriotes.

“This blind plea agreement will spare a distraught victim the ordeal of a trial,” Will County State’s Attorney spokesman Charles Pelkie said.

But while that sentence is pending, Wrona is being released on a recognizance bond to seek a psychosexual evaluation.

Assistant Will County State’s Attorney Mary Fillipitch said Wrona had sex with the girl on multiple occasions when she was 15 and 16 at a residence in Joliet.

“Her mother was present during some of these incidents,” Fillipitch said.

“She watches someone have oral and vaginal sex with her minor daughter, yet there’s no charges pending against her?”

Alessio Policandriotes asked.

Fillipitch told the judge the victim’s mother was a potential witness in the case against Wrona, but the plea resolution “enhanced” prosecutors’ abil-

ity to pursue charges against her.

The mother no longer has custody of the victim, but does have another teenage daughter and three younger sons, according to court records.

Five state prison facilities could end up short on payroll

SPRINGFIELD – At least five Illinois prisons don’t appear to have enough money to pay workers through the fiscal year that ends June 30, according to state records.

The Springfield bureau of Lee Enterprises newspapers said prisons that may run short of cash include facilities in Jacksonville, Mount Sterling, Sumner, Taylorville and Vandalia. Nearly 5,000 prison workers could be affected, the records indicate.

Department of Corrections spokeswoman Nicole Wilson said it needs $117 million to keep up operations through the end of June, with $70.8 million of that for payroll needs. She said another 4,000 workers at 11 facilities and general office staff could see effects by early May. The state’s current fiscal year budget is about $1.6 billion short. Democrats had hoped they would be able to pass an extension of a temporary income tax increase that expired Jan. 1.

Task force an ‘extension’ of school funding meetings

SPRINGFIELD – The spokesman for Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan said a bipartisan task force on the state’s school funding formula is an extension of work done by Democrats last summer.

The panel was to meet Wednesday afternoon and include lawmakers from various regions of the state. It followed a series of quiet meetings by top Democrat House lawmakers over a proposed overhaul of Illinois’ outdated school funding formula, which would direct more state money to poorer

Heather Mack (left) and her boyfriend, Tommy Schaefer, both of Chicago, arrive at a courtroom Wednesday for their murder trial in Bali, Indonesia. The two are being tried separately on charges of killing Mack’s mother, Sheila von Wiese-Mack, whose badly beaten body was found last year in a suitcase in the trunk of a taxi outside an upscale hotel on the resort island. Mack, 19, told the court that Schaefer, 21, killed her mother in anger after she threatened to kill their unborn baby.

rural districts at the expense of wealthier suburban districts.

That proposal and several others have been introduced this session.

Spokesman Steve Brown said Madigan wanted to broaden the meetings to include both parties. He said the speaker believes any solution ultimately approved by the General Assembly must be bipartisan and bridge regional divides.

2 Aurora teens die after SUV strikes semi in intersection

ROCHELLE – Two teenagers died after the SUV they were riding in slammed into a semitrailer in a fog-shrouded intersection in northern Illinois.

Illinois State Police said the crash happened just before 6 p.m. Tuesday near Rochelle.

Police said six students from Aurora’s Central Catholic High School were traveling to a regional basketball game at Rochelle High School when their 17-year-old driver ran a red light. The SUV struck the truck, which was turning.

A 16-year-old boy riding in the front seat was pronounced dead at the scene. A 16-year-old girl was pronounced dead at Rochelle Hospital. Police said the driver was taken to a hospital with unknown injuries. Three other passengers were released.

The truck driver was not hurt.

No bond for Chicago woman in power saw death

CHICAGO – A Cook County judge ordered a Chicago woman to be held without bail after she was charged with first-degree

murder in the slaying of her 7-month-old granddaughter.

The order came Wednesday after prosecutors said Manuela Rodriguez stuffed a sock into Rosie Herrera’s throat to get her to stop crying and then, when the baby continued to cry, she hit her in the head with a pipe wrench.

They said Rodriguez, 52, told police she killed Herrera and admitted to cutting the infant’s neck, chest and shoulder with a power saw. An autopsy revealed those injuries were inflicted after the girl was dead.

Police said Rodriguez later tried to take her own life with the saw.

Measure would require restaurants to clean play areas

SPRINGFIELD – A measure that would require restaurants

to clean play equipment at least once a day is under consideration in the Illinois House.

The Springfield bureau of Lee Enterprises newspapers said the legislation advanced Tuesday to the full Illinois House after a 9-7 vote in the Consumer Protection Committee.

Democratic state Rep. Michelle Mussman of Schaumburg said restaurant play areas are “ripe” for germs and the law is necessary to protect children and parents from sicknesses.

But GOP state Rep. Norine Hammond of Macomb said there’s no guarantee play areas will stay clean through a full day of use. Illinois Retail Merchants Association general counsel Tanya Triche said it will be impossible for restaurants to comply with the law’s standards.

Illinois justices press state’s lawyer on pension overhaul The Associated Press SPRINGFIELD – Illinois Supreme Court justices asked the state’s lawyer to explain Wednesday how the government can seek extraordinary power to reduce public pension benefits in the face of a fiscal crisis when the government itself is culpable for the financial mess.

Justice Robert Thomas peppered solicitor general Carolyn Shapiro during oral arguments over the constitutionality of a 2013 law that cuts retirement benefits in a 30-year plan to slay a $111 billion deficit.

State employees and retirees challenged it, arguing that the state constitution prohibits action to “impair or diminish” the benefits of the contractual pension agreement.

The state counters that it can resort to “police powers” to trump the constitution in moments of economic peril.

The peril, they say, can largely be traced to the recession of 2008, which battered the value of the pensions’ portfolios and caused other problems.

But until questioned about it, Shapiro didn’t mention that for decades, governors and legislators have given short shrift to annual contribution obligations – including as recently as 10 years ago, well after the crisis was wide-

ly recognized, by skipping $2.3 billion in payments.

“If the court holds that the state can invoke its police powers to violate core constitutional guarantees to respond to an emergency that at least arguably the state itself created, then aren’t we giving the state the power to modify its contractual obligations whenever it wants?”

Thomas asked Shapiro. “For instance, the state could simply fail to fund the pension systems and then claim an emergency.”

Shapiro repeatedly emphasized the narrow conditions under which the government may assume such control – when it needs to “address an important public purpose,” she said. As to the specifics of what that purpose may be, she said that should be argued in Sangamon County Circuit Court, where a judge invalidated the law last fall without hearing arguments about the merits. If the high court upholds the law, it returns to the county judge.

Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner and Democrats who control the Legislature are aligned on the issue. But a high-court setback could widen the budget rift between them, forcing the new governor to make deeper spending cuts than he’s already proposing or agree to the demands of many Democratic legislators

to increase revenues.

Those challenging the law – teachers, state employees, retirees and workers’ unions – are adamant that the constitution’s take on pensions is clear. The groups’ attorney, Gino DiVito, told the court that when voters went to the polls in 1970 to approve the charter, the voter’s guide said of the clause, “This section is new and self-explanatory.”

“This is a case about a constitutional provision, one that is explicit, clear and unambiguous and it is subject to no stated exception,” DiVito said. “The state has not cited a single case where the reserve sovereign powers, the police powers, have been held to override a constitutional provision, and that’s because there is no such case.”

The law, aiming for solvency by 2044, was signed in late 2013 after years of hand-wringing over a deepening abyss. It reduced benefits that current state employees will collect in their golden years – notably, cutting off the automatic, 3 percent compounded costof-living increase granted in 1989.

It’s unclear when the court will rule, but it has handled the case on an expedited basis.

If it upholds the law, the case returns to Sangamon County, where both sides will argue the propriety of invoking the emergency powers.

Hillary Rodham Clinton speaks to the reporters Tuesday at United Nations headquarters.

He previously had cited the department’s heavy annual load of FOIA requests – 19,000 last year – in saying that the department “does its best to meet its FOIA responsibilities.” He said the department takes requests “first in, first out,” but noted that timing depends on “the complexity of the request.”

Carroll said the AP was filing additional requests Wednesday using FOIA and other tools following the disclosure last week that Clinton had used a private email account run on a server on her property outside New York while working at the State Department.

Clinton on Tuesday said she sent and received about 60,000 emails from her personal email address in her four years as President Barack Obama’s secretary of state. She said roughly half were work-related, which she turned over to the State Department, while deleting tens of thousands more that were personal in nature.

The department has said the emails in its possession will be posted online once a review of their contents is completed – a process that will take several months.

White House spokesman Josh Earnest said Wednesday that means “it is not necessary for new FOIA requests to be filed or old FOIA requests to be reconsidered in order to get access to those records.”

WASHINGTON – The Associated Press on Wednesday sued the State Department to force the release of email correspondence and government documents from Hillary Rodham Clinton’s tenure as secretary of state.

The legal action follows repeated requests filed under the U.S. Freedom of Information Act that have gone unfulfilled. They include one request the AP made five years ago and others pending since the summer of 2013.

The suit in U.S. District Court comes a day after Clinton broke her silence about her use of a private email account while she was America’s top diplomat.

The FOIA requests and the suit seek materials related to her public and private calendars; correspondence involving aides likely to play important roles in her expected campaign for president; and Clinton-related emails about the Osama bin Laden raid and National Security Agency surveillance practices.

“After careful deliberation and exhausting our other options, The Associated Press is taking the necessary legal steps to gain access to these important documents, which will shed light on actions by the State Department and former Secretary Clinton, a presumptive 2016 presidential candidate, during some of the most significant issues of our time,” said Karen Kaiser, AP’s general counsel.

Said AP Executive Editor Kathleen Carroll: “The Freedom of Information Act exists to give citizens a clear view of what government officials are doing on their behalf. When that view is denied, the next resort is the courts.”

State Department spokesman Alec Gerlach declined to comment.

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS neighboring Syria. The offensive Dempsey: U.S. wary of Iran-backed militias in Iraq also will serve as a major crucible

WASHINGTON – Iran is playing a helpful role against Islamic State militants in Iraq now, but once the extremists are vanquished, Tehran-backed militias could undermine efforts to unify the country, the top U.S. military officer said Wednesday.

Army Gen. Martin Dempsey told lawmakers any move to counter IS is a “positive thing.”

But he said there are worries about whether those Shiite militias will later turn against Sunni or Kurdish Iraqis and hamper efforts to bridge ethnic and political divisions that have made peace elusive in Iraq.

“We are all concerned about what happens after the drums stop beating and ISIL is defeated, and whether the government of Iraq will remain on a path to provide an inclusive government for all of the various groups within it,” he said.

for Iraqi forces, which collapsed under the extremists’ initial offensive last year and now face street-by-street fighting in one of the Islamic State group’s biggest strongholds.

A local official in Iraq’s Salahuddin province confirmed that Iraqi troops entered Qadisiyya and raised the Iraqi flag over Tikrit’s general hospital.

Military personnel wade in the water Wednesday and search on the beach under heavy fog at Eglin Air Force Base, Fla., for the wreckage of a military helicopter that crashed Tuesday evening with 11 service members aboard. A Pentagon official says all aboard are presumed dead.

1 Black Hawk crashed in fog, killing 11; another turned back

By MELISSA NELSON-GABRIEL The Associated Press EGLIN AIR FORCE BASE, Fla. – Searchers struggled Wednesday to find the seven Marines and four soldiers killed when a helicopter crashed, hampered by the same fog that plagued a nighttime training mission.

A second helicopter turned back safely shortly before the wreck, which left debris washing ashore along the Florida coast, officials said.

Military officials haven’t said what caused the crash of the UH-60 Black Hawk, but the weather was bad enough for the other crew to return to land, said Maj. Gen. Glenn H. Curtis, adjutant general of the Louisiana National Guard.

The helicopter that crashed had a veteran crew from Hammond, Louisiana, that served multiple tours in Iraq and helped humanitarian missions after Gulf Coast hurricanes and the BP oil spill.

They were carrying unconventional warriors from the

Marines Special Operations Command. Like the Army’s Green Berets and the Navy’s SEALs, they were highly trained to endure grueling conditions and sensitive assignments on land and at sea, from seizing ships to special reconnaissance missions and direct action inside hostile territory.

Tuesday night’s training involved practicing “insertion and extraction missions,” using small boats and helicopters to get troops into and out of a target site, said Capt.

Barry Morris, spokesman for the Marine Corps Special Operations Command at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina.

Even the training can be dangerous.

“It has everything in it except for the bullets, so when they are actually training, it’s like being in combat in a lot of ways,” said Bruce Labrecque, the owner of the Mariners Inn in Hammond, Louisiana, near where the Guardsmen were based. The spot is popular for lunch for locals and military in the area.

President Barack Obama expressed his condolences to the families and said he’s confident of a detailed and thorough investigation, said his spokesman, Josh Earnest.

“Our thoughts and prayers are with them and their families as the search and rescue continues,” Defense Secretary Ash Carter said on Capitol Hill.

Kim Urr, 62, who works at the Navarre Beach campground near the Eglin Air Force Base training area, said she heard a strange sound, followed by two explosions around 8:30 p.m. Tuesday.

“It sounded like something metal either being hit or falling over, that’s what it sounded like. And there were two booms afterward, similar to what you hear with ordnance booms, but more muffled,” Urr said.

Human remains were found Wednesday before the weather deteriorated again, and all 11 service members are presumed killed. But it was still considered a search and rescue mission.

Freedom just another word for nothing left to choose VIEWS Kathryn Jean Lopez For the past two weekends, I’ve been in a seminary just outside the Center City district of Philadelphia. I’d joined volunteers wanting to be part of the welcome committee for Pope Francis when he visits the “City of Brotherly Love” in the fall.

He’s coming to join the World Meeting of Families being held at the convention center here.

I can’t tell you how excited local Catholics are about his visit. It’s no surprise. The pope has been riding a wave of approval from Catholics and non-Catholics, even as he shakes up the church’s standard way of doing things.

But the volunteers’ excitement doesn’t stem from the pope’s popularity. It comes from the opportunities his visit represents – for renewal, for a welcoming, not just to him but to all who have been hurt by or felt isolated from the church.

This visit comes at a time when American Catholics have had their beliefs challenged by the Obama administration, which seems bent on punishing companies and groups that object on grounds of conscience to abortion, birth control or other highly charged matters.

But what if we, as a society, focused on God’s love and our duty to each other as humans?

What a country that would be, if we truly respected religious freedom and the conscience rights of others, and helped those who provide valuable services and seek to better their communities and the world while they are in it. We are still free to share and choose. Shouldn’t we all want the best choices to rise to the surface, for the good of all?

It’s this backdrop to keep in mind as a controversy flares in

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

San Francisco. Writing to the Catholic archbishop there, lawmakers insist that the morality clauses in a new handbook for Catholic high school teachers – introduced during contract negotiations and in keeping with Catholic teaching and practice – “conflict with settled areas of law and foment a discriminatory environment in the communities we serve.” The lawmakers insist that for the archdiocese to operate within the guidelines of a Catholic conscience – that is, to exercise freedom of religion – is, in fact, a civil rights violation.

The phrase “freedom to choose” comes up in the letter.

The choice in today’s West only goes so far. It’s become a pledge of allegiance to an ideological prescription, one of a secular religion that insists on toleration only if you agree to its principles, which don’t include freedom of religion and speech so much as freedom to keep religion to yourself and for the occasional ceremonial function and speech, so long as it meets with popular agreement.

What Pope Francis has managed to do, however, is keep people interested, even as he spends over a year getting the church to focus on family life. The World Meeting is, among other things, a celebration of and show of support for families. The people I’ve met in Philadelphia have found joy in church teaching and want to share this joy with others.

For his part, Pope Francis has emphasized the need for politeness and gratitude, when relating to other people, spouses or oneself. You start there and see a path for peace. You start there, and there might just be an opening to get beyond threatening letters, coercive mandates and frequently miserable politics.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Scott Reeder’s spiel reaches a new low To the Editor:

In Scott Reeder’s column in the Feb. 18 edition of The Herald-News, he has taken his anti-labor, anti-worker spiel to a new low in his denigration of those opposed to the so-called right-to-work law about to be adopted in Wisconsin.

In his article, he implied that those opposed to losing wages and benefits are somehow deranged. Gone were the usual justifications, such as job growth and expansion of companies into a state that adopts these laws.

Perhaps they were not included because these promises go unfulfilled in right-to work states. The only promises kept are those to employers, secretly and

implied, that wages will fall and benefits will disappear when they are adopted. The people of Wisconsin soon will discover these unfortunate truths when Gov. Scott Walker signs the law and the state becomes another “workers paradise.”

Thank you for support of Noon Lions Club To the Editor:

Thank you, Joliet community!

On behalf of the Joliet Noon Lions Club and the 8,000 children we collectively will save, we thank you for helping us reach our challenge goal.

As you recall, the World Health Organization has determined that 330 children worldwide die each day

from the complications of measles.

The Joliet Noon Lions Club had challenged the community to raise $2,000, and our club would match that donation. The GAVI Foundation (formerly the Global Alliance for Medicines and Immunizations) then pledged to match our total.

We effectively together raised $8,000.

The vaccine only costs $1 per dose; thus, our $8,000 will save 8,000 children.

Thank you again to the general public, Joliet Noon Lion members who personally donated and solicited donations, and businesses that also contributed.

Together, we will save a lot of children. A big thankyou to all.

VAULTING INTO THE FINALS Behind Nixon’s 30 points, Bolingbrook tops Plainfield East in sectional semifinal / 23, 24

CLASS 4A BOLINGBROOK BOYS BASKETBALL SEMIFINAL: BOLINGBROOK 63, PLAINFIELD EAST 52

By DICK GOSS dgoss@shawmedia.com

BOLINGBROOK – Plainfield East boys basketball experienced the nightmare nobody wants in a sectional semifinal.

The Bengals fell into a deep hole early in Wednesday night’s showdown against Bolingbrook in the Class 4A Bolingbrook Sectional, and the Raiders never let them dig their way out.

Bolingbrook enjoyed leads of 9-0 and 14-1 en route to a 6352 victory that vaulted the No. 2-seeded Raiders into Friday night’s sectional final against No. 1 Neuqua Valley.

East (18-12) tried valiantly to get back into it in the third quarter but failed to take advantage of multiple opportunities to trim the difference into single digits.

“Our goal at halftime was to get it under 10 by the end of the third quarter,” said Bengals coach Branden Adkins, whose team trailed, 29-13, at halftime.

“We got it to 11 or 12 a few times and we couldn’t break that barrier.

“I think we stole some momentum in the third quarter when we pressed them. The guys decided they had to go get them, and they did. But we just couldn’t get over the hump.”

Bolingbrook standout guard Prentiss Nixon was huge in fueling the Raiders (22-6) to their blazing start. He scored 12 of his game-high 30 points in the first quarter and 18 in the first half. He finished 7 of 16 from the field and 14 of 15 from the free throw line.

“We struggled offensively on Friday,” Bolingbrook coach Rob Brost said of the Raiders’ 48-42 overtime victory over Joliet Central in the Romeoville Regional final. “Tonight we hit some shots early, especially Prentiss, and we went on from there.

“That’s Prentiss being Prentiss. He is an all-stater for a reason.”

Adkins said Nixon’s 3-pointer for the first points, followed by his two free throws, were big for momentum.

“After Prentiss scored those five points, we got tight with our shots,” he said. “I didn’t want to call timeout too

East’s all-stater, Aaron Jordan, had a rough shooting

night against Bolingbrook’s defense, which went from a 2-3 zone in the first half to a boxand-one on Jordan through much of the second half, with

a little man and zone sprinkled in.

Jordan missed his first eight shots and finished 4 of 18, including 3 of 13 from 3-point range, and totaled 14 points before fouling out with 3:43 left and East trailing, 49-33.

He was scoreless until 2:31 remained in the first half, when his 3-pointer got the Bengals within 25-10.

“We came out with intensity, and we just have to keep it rolling,” Nixon said. “Our job was to go out and execute, and we did.”

“I think our good start put them back on their heels,” Brost said. “Jordan is a really good player. We planned to take him out – and for the most part, we did.”

Brodric Thomas supplied the offense Nixon somehow missed in the first quarter with five points as Boling-

brook took a 17-5 lead into the second quarter. Thomas finished with 10 points, and Dimitri Akenten and Zach Grady chipped in six each. Akenten had nine rebounds and Julian Torres seven.

They finally warmed a bit in the fourth quarter, largely because of Wright, to finish 16 of 57 for 28.1 percent.

Friday’s title game is a rematch of the Jan. 6 meeting that Neuqua won, 76-69, despite Nixon’s 35 points. The Raiders were 6-5 at the time and are 16-1 since.

CLASS 4A BOLINGBROOK BOYS BASKETBALL SEMIFINAL: ANALYSIS

Bolingbrook hopes to add to historic win

By CURT HERRON cherron@shawmedia.com BOLINGBROOK – Thirty years can seem like an eternity, especially for athletes who have been alive only for a fraction of that time.

So that makes any accomplishment that’s 30 years in the making kind of difficult to comprehend.

But that’s just what Bolingbrook’s boys basketball team pulled off Wednesday when it defeated Plainfield East, 63-52, in its own Class 4A sectional semifinals.

The sectional win was the first for the Raiders since the 1985 season, when Trent Jackson led coach Bob Mitchell’s squad to the program’s only

sectional title and Sweet 16 berth.

This is only the third time Bolingbrook has made it back to a sectional since that memorable campaign 30 years ago.

But the Raiders lost semifinal games in those other appearances, which came in 2009 and 1994.

Now, the Raiders hope to take the next step and defeat Neuqua Valley in Friday’s sectional finals in order to achieve some more history.

“We’re just blessed and humbled to be actually in this position,” senior Julian Torres said. “We’re all working hard, and we’re going to come to practice focused in order to be ready for Neuqua. It should be a good game, so we just have to

prepare right and come ready to play like we did today. Our game plan was to go hard and jump on them early.

“This is huge for our program. Coach [Rob] Brost has done an amazing job over the past few years. Being prepared for this moment is really cool.”

The Raiders helped their cause in their historic sectional win by shooting out to an early 14-1 lead over the Bengals, limiting them to just one field goal in the initial 13:30 of play.

With Prentiss Nixon leading the way, the Raiders built a 29-13 halftime lead, and East was able only to pull to within single digits during the late going.

“We jumped out to a big

lead just because of our team’s chemistry,” senior Brodric Thomas said. “We’ve been bonding over the last couple of weeks, and we just came together as a team today and executed our plays.

“This is just a special team, and our camaraderie has grown over the last four years, and we’re just a family now. We’re ready, and we’ll be geared up. And I know that our coaches will have the right game plan, and hopefully we’ll execute it.”

Now, Bolingbrook needs to get past a Neuqua program that captured sectional titles in both 2008 and 2009 in order to reach the Hinsdale Central Supersectional.

Beside having the obvious

incentive to keep their season going a little longer, the Raiders have some extra motivation since they lost to the Wildcats, 76-69, on Jan. 6.

“God blessed us with this opportunity, so we have to keep working hard, stay focused, play with heart and emotion, and keep doing what we’re doing,” senior Dimitri Akenten said. “We have a great team, and I love my team.

“We’ve been waiting for this one for a long time. Everybody has been waiting to see Plainfield and Bolingbrook, so we finally got it. Neuqua has a great team, so we won’t underestimate them. We have to do our jobs and play like we know how to play.”

March Madness can be so exhilarating one day and so deflating the next.

The Providence boys basketball team entered the semifinals of the Class 4A Bolingbrook Sectional on Tuesday night on a huge roll. The Celtics had won 10 straight and 13 of 14. Included in the run were victories over Loyola, St. Rita, Hales Franciscan and St. Joseph in the Chicago Catholic League Tournament.

They had plenty of converts among basketball watchers. My sampling of impartial observers at Tuesday’s game between Providence, the No. 4 seed in the sectional, and No.1 Neuqua Valley indicated the Celtics were the favorites.

However, in the second half of a game dominated by the two defenses and tight throughout, Providence went cold, hitting 5 of 20 shots, as Neuqua advanced, 45-36.

Neuqua was active in its matchup, almost never allowing Providence’s shooters an open look and yielding little penetration into the lane.

When the Celtics did get the type of shot they had been hitting with regularity for the past month, they misfired, often leaving it short.

It’s a shame the run had to end, because coach Tim Trendel’s team had been playing as well – and posting as many big victories – as anyone in the state. Still, disappointment aside, the Celtics added a whole other positive element to this season for area fans.

“Team chemistry was the big thing we had going for us,” Trendel said. “These kids bought into the system.”

The 6-foot-7 junior averaged 20.0 points and 8.8 rebounds overall and 21.2 points, 8.3 rebounds, two assists, 1.6 blocks and 1.8 steals in the IIAC, where he shot 49 percent from the floor, 44 percent from 3-point range (32 of 72) and 84 percent from the free throw line (71 of 85).

Norris led Dubuque (23-6) into the Division III Tournament for the second time in his three years there. The Spartans lost to Illinois Wesleyan in the opening round of the D-III tournament.

• As for the Big Dance – the Division I tournament – we not only will have former area players to watch, but we also will see one or more teams with Joliet area connections on the coaching staffs.

Roger Powell Jr. (Joliet Township) is an assistant at Valparaiso, which has qualified. Tavaras Hardy (Providence) is a Georgetown assistant, and the Hoyas should be in the field.

Former Joliet Township and Joliet West coach Luke Yaklich is an assistant at Illinois State, which made a strong run to the Missouri Valley Conference title game, including upsetting No. 1 Wichita State in the semifinals. ISU is a long shot but is hoping to qualify for the NCAA Tournament.

• Wofford, which is where Plainfield North senior standout Trevor Stumpe will play next season, has qualified for the NCAA Tournament.

AREA ROUNDUP

Sox ace Sale to miss opener St. Francis extends win streak to four The ASSOCIATED PRESS

GLENDALE, Ariz. – White Sox All-Star left-hander Chris Sale will miss the start of the season because of a broken foot.

Sale, who was injured Feb. 27 in an accident at home, was expected to miss the April 6 opener in Kansas City, but the team made it official on Wednesday. He will not resume baseball activities for at least 10 more days.

Sox executive vice president Ken Williams told MLB Network on Wednesday the team was taking Sale on “a little slower road” rather than rush him back in time for the opener.

“He’s not going to be the opening-day starter,” Williams told “High Heat.” “But it looks like he could make the April 12 start, dependent on how he comes along. All signs are pointing upward right now.”

Manager Robin Ventura said after Wednesday’s game against the Texas Rangers that Sale is not going to start.

It is not certain who will; but Jeff Samardzija, who opened the last two seasons for the crosstown Cubs, is a leading candidate to face the Royals.

Rangers get to Rodon, tie White Sox 4-4

GLENDALE, Ariz. – Prince Fielder had an RBI single and scored a run in Texas’ three-run first inning, and the Rangers and White Sox played to a 4-4 tie Wednesday.

Fielder, who is returning from a back injury that kept him out most of last season, was in the middle of the early offensive burst against Sox starter Carlos Rodon.

The third overall pick in June’s draft, Rodon went 21⁄3 innings and gave up five hits, four in the first inning.

The Sox tied it twice, the final time in the eighth inning on back-to-back doubles

by Andy Wilkins and Andy LaRoche.

Texas starter Alec Asher went two innings, giving up a run on two hits and a hit batter.

Lester shines in Cubs’ win over Dodgers

MESA, Ariz. – The Dodgers’ Zack Greinke gave up two runs in his spring debut, being outpitched by Jon Lester in Los Angeles’ 4-3 loss to the Cubs on Wednesday.

Greinke had been given a lubricating injection in his right elbow on Feb. 18. He allowed two hits and two walks in two innings.

“My stuff was just a little off – OK for the first start,” Greinke said.

But he said his elbow feels fine and should be ready for his next start in five days.

Lester pitched three-hit ball for three shutout innings.

He struck out two in the Cubs first win of the spring.

“Strike one is easier said than done,” Lester said. “It’s something I’ve battled with a long time. It’s something I always try to hammer home to myself.

Mike Baxter singled home two runs off Greinke in the second. The Cubs added a run in the third on a sacrifice fly

by Chris Coghlan.

BIG TEN MEN’S BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT

Penn State hangs on vs. Nebraska, 68-65 The ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO – D.J. Newbill sees the Big Ten tournament as a shot at redemption for Penn State. It was nearly the stage for a big collapse, too.

Newbill scored 26 points, Shep Garner added 19 and Penn State hung on to beat Nebraska, 68-65, in Wednesday’s Big Ten tournament opener.

The 13th-seeded Nittany Lions (17-15) advanced in the tournament for the first time since a run to the final in 2011, despite letting a 16-point lead in the second half dwindle to one.

They came away with their second-straight win after dropping six in a row when Shavon Shields missed a 3 for 12th-seeded Nebraska (13-18) at the buzzer.

Penn State will play No. 5 seed Iowa on Thursday.

“We’re disappointed in how we finished in Big Ten play,” Newbill said. “We’ve got another opportunity to come out here and prove to ourselves and prove to everybody we’re better than what we showed.”

Garner hit five 3-pointers. Newbill nailed four from long range and keyed a 14-1 run early in the second half that stretched the lead from three to 16. Penn State also blocked a tournament-record 16 shots.

The loss was the ninth straight for Nebraska.

Minnesota overcomes Rutgers, 80-68

CHICAGO – Joey King hit six 3-pointers and scored 20 to lead Minnesota to an 80-68 victory over Rutgers in the first round of the Big Ten tournament on Wednesday.

The 11th-seeded Golden

Gophers (18-14) broke open a tight game on a 22-8 spurt midway through in the second half. King and Charles Buggs highlighted the blitz with three 3-pointers in a span of 53 seconds.

After King extended the lead to 43-38 at the seven-minute mark, Buggs buried another 3-pointer 18 seconds later.

Rutgers’ Junior Etou followed with a pair of free throws, then King hit a 3-pointer to give his team a 49-40 advantage.

Carlos Morris scored 16 points for the Golden Gophers, while Nate Mason added 15 more.

Minnesota shot 52 percent in the field and scored 42 points in the paint. The Golden Gophers will meet Ohio State on Thursday night.

Kadeem Jack led Rutgers (10-22) with 18 points.

SUBMITTED REPORTS TUCSON, Ariz. – With a 4-1 victory over Dakota Wesleyan and a 3-2 decision over Doane at the Tucson Invitational Games, the St. Francis softball team extended its winning streak to four games.

Pitcher Caitlyn Balandis struck out eight en route to a seven-inning, complete-game victory in the first game.

First baseman Sara Braden drove in the first run with a sacrifice fly. The Saints (5-3) made it 2-0 when left fielder Brooke Karraker scored on third baseman Kaley Jendraszak’s (Lincoln-Way East) single.

First baseman Caroline Roberts (Plainfield North) tripled and scored on an errant throw. Catcher Lina Medo (Plainfield South) scored ahead of Roberts and was 2-for-3 for the game.

Against Doane, pitcher Morghan Dieringer (Lincoln-Way West) (1-1) threw a complete-game four-hitter.

Shortstop Tori Johnson (Joliet Catholic) drove in the first run with a sacrifice fly that plated Karraker, who had doubled. Karraker gave the Saints a 2-0 lead when she delivered a run-scoring single.

After center fielder Alex Wyss (Joliet Catholic) got on base with a ground ball, she reached second on a Doane error.

With two outs and Wyss still at second, Johnson lined a single and Wyss came home with the go-ahead run.

Brooks’ 31 points lift Bears sign McPhee, say Cutler will be their QB shorthanded Bulls The ASSOCIATED PRESS PHILADELPHIA – Aaron Brooks scored seven of his season-high 31 points in overtime Wednesday night to help the short-handed Bulls beat the Philadelphia 76ers, 104-95.

Pau Gasol had 27 points and 16 rebounds, and Nikola Mirotic finished with 16 points and 12 rebounds for the Bulls. They snapped a threegame skid without four regulars and three of their top five scorers.

Ish Smith led Philadelphia with a career-high 23 points, Isaiah Canaan added 20 and Robert Covington had 12. The 76ers have lost 10 of 12 overall and 10 of 11 against the Bulls.

The Bulls dressed only 10 players and were without Jimmy Butler, Derrick Rose, Taj Gibson and Joakim Noah.

That’s nearly 57 points out of their lineup. Rose had knee surgery Feb. 27 but said Monday that hopes to return this season, targeting four to six weeks for a comeback from yet another knee injury. Butler (elbow) missed his sixth

straight game, and Gibson (ankle) sat out his seventh in a row. Noah (knee) was a late scratch.

Brooks had 13 points entering the fourth quarter but got hot in the final 12 minutes of regulation and continued it in the extra session. His layup to start overtime broke a 92-all tie he hit a 3-pointer to make it 103-94 late in overtime.

The Bulls looked in command up, 74-63, after E’Twaun Moore’s layup to open the fourth quarter. But the 76ers surged in front with a 17-5 run. It remained close from that point, and Smith put Philadelphia ahead with a pair of free throws with 56.8 seconds left. After a Bulls miss, Jerami Grant made two free throws with 43 seconds left to give the 76ers a 92-89 lead. Brooks tied it with a 3-pointer from the wing with 33.2 seconds left.

Canaan missed a layup with 25 seconds left, but Snell turned it over on the Bulls’ possession. Luc Mbah a Moute’s 15-footer that would’ve won it went off the rim.

The ASSOCIATED PRESS

LAKE FOREST – The rebuilding of the Chicago Bears under new coach John Fox started with the signing linebacker Pernell McPhee, as well as the expected return of quarterback Jay Cutler.

New Bears general manager Ryan Pace and Fox confirmed Tuesday for the first time their plans for rebounding from a 5-11 season under Marc Trestman include Cutler.

“We’re moving forward with Jay Cutler as our starting quarterback,” Pace said.

“We’ve spent time with him on a personal basis. It’s just getting to know him as a person, like I said initially (at the NFL combine). Just being through with all of that, that helped us come to this conclusion.”

Pace said the Bears did not attempt to trade Cutler, but he regarded such matters as internal and did not want to discuss it in detail.

“He’s a good football player,” Pace said. “And going forward, we felt this was the

best for us. And quite frankly, it’s the best situation for him, too. So that’s where we’re at.”

Cutler led the NFL in turnovers last season with 24, including 18 interceptions.

Fox sees Cutler as capable of improving even though he’s been in the league since 2006, continues making the same mistakes and has been with the Bears under three head coaches and five offensive coordinators.

“I think the biggest thing for me is, is a guy willing to work?” Fox said. “And if a guy will work at it, he can get better. If he’s not willing to work at it he’s not getting better. In this league you don’t stay the same – you’re either getting better or getting worse.

“And so what I saw and learned of him is intelligence, he’s willing to work at it, so I think he’s capable of improving.”

The Bears evaluated tape on Cutler from his first year in the league with Denver to last season, and met with Cutler in determining which way to go.

By DENISE M. BARAN–UNLAND dunland@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Known primarily for its three recordings of sacred music, The Priests’ musical repertoire extends beyond the religious genre, said one of its members, the Rev. David Delargy.

Irish Songs. Neapolitan Arias. German and French art songs. Operas. Even “contemporary classical crossover songs.” The Priests may sing any combination of these during its March 19 concert at the Rialto Square Theatre in Joliet.

The goal of the versatility, Delargy said in an email interview, is to connect to as many people as possible.

“Many people nowadays have little experience of church in their daily lives, but that doesn’t mean that they are not spiritual or that they don’t have spiritual hungers,” Delargy said.

“Sacred music can sometimes be their only point of contact with the world of religion and faith. In that sense, religious music provides a real service.”

Joining them for select times onstage as sopranos will be classical singers Claire and Sarah Halbur of Joliet and Agne Giedraityte, 13, the 2012 winner of Rialto Idol Junior.

Claire, who recently appeared on the Lifetime series, “The Sisterhood: Becoming Nuns,” had sung with The Priests when the trio appeared at the Rialto in 2013.

All three have beautiful voices that complement The Priests’ style, said Lori Carmine, Rialto technical director.

Despite their talent, the Rev. Eugene O’Hagan, the Rev. Martin O’Hagan and Delargy – all full-time parish priests, classically trained and singing since boyhood –

O’Hagans and Delargy, which led to a global release of a self-titled album in 2008.

The Guinness World Book of Records recognized it as the fastest-selling debut for a classical act.

They’ve since recorded “Harmony” and a Christmas album, “Noel,” Delargy said, and sold millions of records.

Recording at a local studio makes it easy for the members of The Priests to attend to pastoral duties.

PUZZLES SUDOKU

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

Be flexible in your thinking

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Dame Margaret Drabble, Lady Holroyd, an English novelist, biographer and critic, said, “Why can’t people be both flexible and efficient?”

Bridge players who are flexible in their thinking tend to be efficient. Look at the North hand in this deal. North opened one club, and South responded one heart. What should North have rebid?

There is no call that perfectly describes that North hand. Four clubs would be great if it indicated three-card heart support, but it requires four cards in partner’s major. Still, it is a possible choice.

North is far too strong to rebid three clubs (although that might work out well here). My choice would be three no-trump. This shows a hand too strong for a three-club rebid; typically 18 or 19 high-card points, six-plus excellent clubs, stoppers in the unbid suits and often a singleton in responder’s suit. (This last factor is the bid’s main minus.)

After three no-trump, South will want to ask for aces – yet another problem! But if South can learn that his partner has three aces, he will jump to seven hearts, confident that he can make it by establishing dummy’s club suit.

At the table I watched this deal being played, North rebid two no-trump, indicating a balanced 18 or 19 points.

South used Gerber twice (bidding four clubs and five clubs) to ask for aces and kings, then signed off in six no-trump.

True, he could count only 12 tricks (two spades, six hearts, two diamonds and two clubs), but he should have taken a shot at seven hearts. That contract surely would have had some play -- and dummy would have been a pleasant surprise.

one spinal joint at a time.

Chiropractors accomplish this by positioning the body so the force they exert is focused on one joint while parts of the spine above and below it are held very still. Most chiropractic treatments take between 10 and 20 minutes.

Chiropractic care now also includes a wide variety of other treatments.

For example, a chiropractor may provide exercise education. Or he or she may provide ergonomic training. This teaches you how to walk, sit and stand in a way that limits back strain.

The ultimate goal of chiropractic is to relieve pain and help patients better manage their condition at home.

Chiropractors often work together with primary care doctors and pain experts.

Studies have looked at the effectiveness of chiropractic to treat a variety of problems and conditions. A recent review concluded that spinal manipulation may be helpful for back pain, migraine headaches, neck pain and whiplash.

But the evidence did not support the usefulness of chiropractic for asthma, hypertension, sciatica or menstrual pain.

From my knowledge of various studies, I agree with these conclusions.

As with research in many areas of medicine, the studies conducted so far are not perfect.

Someday, more evidence may emerge that causes me to change my mind.

But for now, I support the studies.

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff

C E A S E

Dear Doctor K: I’ve been having back problems, and frankly, my regular doctor hasn’t come up with treatments that help me much. So I’m wondering: What happens during chiropractic treatment? What types of pain can it relieve?

Dear Reader: Regular readers of this column know that I’m not very stuffy. I think treatments that are called “complementary” or “alternative” medicine should not be dismissed out of hand. Instead, those treatments that many people have found helpful – and that are not clearly dangerous – should be studied in the same way that traditional medical treatments are.

Chiropractic is a form of alternative medicine.

It is based on the belief that the structure of the body, particularly the spine, affects the function of every part of the body. Chiropractors try to correct the body’s alignment to relieve pain and improve function and to help the body heal itself.

The mainstay of chiropractic is spinal manipulation. This generic term is used for any kind of therapeutic movement of the spine. More precisely, it is the application of quick but strong pressure on a joint between two bones in the spine (called vertebrae).

The pressure twists or rotates the joint beyond its normal range of motion and causes a sharp, cracking noise.

That distinctive noise is believed to be caused by the breaking of a vacuum or the release of a bubble into the synovial fluid – the clear, thick fluid that lubricates the spinal and other joints.

Spinal manipulation can be done directly by pushing on the vertebrae, or done indirectly by twisting the neck or upper part of the body.

It should be done to only

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Don’t take what others say too seriously. Keep in mind that everyone has bad days. You may happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Focus on positive gains.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – You’re on your way up, so keep the momentum flowing. Do something that will make you think and bring you added wisdom.

An unexpected someone will help you further your goals.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Offer your help. Bend over backward in order to feel good about what you have done.

Rewards will head your way. Financial opportunities are apparent, but don’t take a risk.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Deal with an emotionally fraught situation that is disrupting your personal life. Your eloquent way of handling such matters will help you resolve the problem so that you can move forward.

much you have to offer. Take pride in your accomplishments and celebrate with someone special.

Dad’s choice of movies inappropriate for kids

Dear Abby: Recently, my father has begun to watch films with graphic sexual scenes when he gets home from work.

When I ask him to please watch them on his own time, when my three younger siblings aren’t in the house, he tells me that because he pays the bills he has the right to do what he wants.

Abby, not only do these graphic movies make me uncomfortable, I’m worried my siblings will begin asking questions. – Un-

Real Life Adventures

Dear Uncomfortable: If there are adult relatives who can convince your dad that what he’s doing is unwise – an aunt, uncle, grandparent – talk to them about what’s going on right away. If there aren’t, then a trusted teacher or counselor at school should be informed because what your father is doing is extremely inappropriate. Exposing children to graphic images can give them unrealistic expectations about what sex is really all about.

Dear Abby: My girlfriend and I have talked about becoming engaged. The subject of the wedding dress came up. She broke off a past engagement last year, and she has asked me whether it would be OK for her to use the dress she chose for the wedding that didn’t happen.

She says only her mother and the seamstress have seen it. She doesn’t want to be out $1,000 and says she does not associate the gown with her ex-fiance.

I feel we should try to sell the dress, although it was tailored for her, and pick a new one. What do you think is appropriate? I don’t like the idea of looking back at the wedding photos and thinking the dress was meant for another man. – Future Husband

in Southern California

Dear Husband: Actually, the dress was meant for your fiancee and not another man. There are spe-

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips cialists who can redesign an existing wedding dress.

However, because you have negative associations with this gown, offer to sweeten the pot by chipping in if she can’t get $1,000 for the one she has.

I think the most “appropriate” thing on your wedding day should be that you are both comfortable, happy and, above all, in sync.

Dear Abby: I don’t sympathize or empathize with others. When people are sad or upset over deaths, failed relationships, etc., my reaction is annoyance at the person because I feel I’m being forced to offer an emotion I don’t genuinely feel. I have experienced all of these things in my own life, but I have never shed tears about them or let them cripple me. I view these things as part of life and move on.

As I get older, it is getting harder and harder for me to fake these emotions.

My wife was in tears for a couple of days because someone she knew died. I tried to pretend to empathize with her, but I found myself getting annoyed by what I thought was her overreaction. Someone she knew died; it happens to all of us. Let’s move on. Is something wrong with me?

– Moving On in Tennessee

Dear Moving On: Some people live the veneer of life; others live the hardwood.

It appears you are among the former and insulated against painful emotions.

However, I’m cautioning you to be patient and show respect for the feelings of others who have more emotional depth, or you may be spending a lot of time alone in the future.
