Candidates talk to voters at Plainfield Central

PLAINFIELD – The Plainfield Candidate’s Night on Thursday at Plainfield Central High School was a one-stop shop for voters in Plainfield, including candidates for the Village Board, fire protection district, park district, library district and school district.

Most notably, allegations of low morale in the fire protection district and the village’s plans for a tax-increment financing district were discussed.

The Plainfield Area Chamber of Commerce hosted the meeting, which included each attending candidate giving a two-minute presentation.

Then candidates for the village and fire protection district answered questions presented by moderators Paul Fay, a village trustee not seeking re-election and former Will County board member Lee Ann Goodson.

The candidates weren’t allowed to hear their opponents’ answers to questions before their question and answer period.

said. “Firefighters are leaving Plainfield, going to other departments.”

Fire district candidate Mark Reynolds, an incumbent, focused on the financials of the district, mentioning the district needs to follow a strict competitive bidding process and negotiate a good firefighters contract that will expire soon.

Fire district candidate Jacob Snitko said if there were cuts that needed to be made, it should be to the top positions in the department, and not to firefighters. He also said he would provide a fresh perspective to the board.

“The current board structure is pretty much made of old people who are either firefighters or somehow part of the fire district community,” he said.

Fire district candidate Dennis Bennett, an incumbent, expanded on the fire training center being constructed this year, and it would cut training costs and maintain the high level of service to the community.

When asked about developing management strategies for the future, Bennett said, “Vision is my voice.”

While fire district candidate James Sossong said he wants to maintain the high level of fire services, he said the morale of firefighters has dropped since the retirement of former Chief John Eichelberger. He also said the current board was responsible for temporarily placing Deputy Chief John Stratton on administrative leave.

“We need to look at ways to improve the morale,” Sossong

Village candidate John Green said his three main concerns are budget, traffic and railroad crossings. But financially, he thought the village should shift it’s focus on the revenue side.

“We shouldn’t let controlling spending hold us back,” he said.

Candidate Edward O’Rourke said he learned much about fiscally appropriate

ways to keep taxes down, and his main priority is relieving travel congestion.

“As a commuter, I look at things and I get stuck at this light, this light and this light,” O’Rourke said, adding he would get experts and residents together to solve the traffic issue.

Candidate Mark Chmura said he was concerned about integrity, accountability and transparency. He gave examples where the village could have gone to court for a bonding company’s fault instead of paying unbudgeted money to deal with it.

“Keeping track of these people that have wronged us in Plainfield ... ensure that they never get any business in Plainfield again,” he said.

Candidate Michael Lambert touted his planning background and said Plainfield needs to take advantage of its tourism locations more than it is right now.

“Will County has the fourth largest tourism attractions by dollars coming into Illinois and Plainfield is excluded. We don’t participate on a regional level,” Lambert said.

Candidate Brian Wojowski focused on addressing traffic congestion, specifically train traffic, by putting more pressure on Canadian National.

“I live off the tracks on 127th Street. I feel [residents’] pain,” he said.

Incumbent Bill Lamb said he wanted to eliminate transportation bottlenecks by extending 143rd Street and finding federal money to help relieve Route 30.

“Transportation has been

the highest priority since I’ve been on the board, and it hasn’t changed,” he said.

Other candidates who introduced themselves before the question and answer period were Plainfield School District 202 candidates Gregory Nichols, Heather Drake and Kevin Kirberg; Plainfield Public Library District candidates Sharon Kinley, Carl Gilmore and Jason Puetz; and Plainfield Township Park District candidates Mary Kay Ludemann and Ridgley Ann Poling.

Candidates not attending were school candidate Sharlyne Williams, library district candidate Crystal Andel, park candidates Larry Newton, John Ledvina and Rob Ayres and fire district candidate Tom Paul.

CORRECTIONS

By BOB OKON bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The long legal battle between attorney Dave Neal and the Rialto Square Theatre is over.

Neal has paid the final $2,400 in a rent dispute that goes back to 2005, when he had a private law practice in office space that is part of the Rialto building.

Neal, who previously wanted to pay the money to the Rialto fundraising foundation

were in hand Wednesday “and the case is agreed-upon settled.”

“I’m pleased it’s over,” Smith said. “I have absolutely no ill will whatsoever toward Mr. Neal. I am also a small businessman.”

Neal now works for the Illinois State’s Attorney’s Appellate Prosecutor office. He acts as a special prosecutor in cases in Will County when the state’s attorney’s office determines it has a conflict of interest.

Local governments put to test with FOIA requests

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com

In recognition of Sunshine Week – a national week-long initiative aiming to educate the public about the importance of open government – Herald-News staff members put transparency to the test.

We posed the question: How tough is it to find out how much money local government employees make?

Five members from the Herald-News editorial staff visited 10 municipal governments March 10 seeking what state law clearly defines as public information, so therefore should be easily accessible: A list of municipal workers’ salaries for the current fiscal year.

Reporter Felix Sarver visited the offices of Crest Hill and Romeoville; Brian Stanley visited Shorewood and Plainfield; Lauren Leone-Cross visited Channahon and Minooka; Vikaas Shanker visited New Lenox and Lockport; and Digital Editor Chris LaFortune visited Joliet and Will County.

As part of the assignment, if asked, we were to identify who we were. And, if asked why we wanted the information, we were to say it’s public record and that we’d like a copy. To the credit of staff at all of these agencies, no one asked either question.

In all but one case (New Lenox), Herald-News reporters were asked to fill out Freedom of Information Act forms.

Many municipal governments have the forms readily available and will ask requesters to fill it out despite state law saying a public body “may honor oral requests.”

Handwritten or typed letters also are acceptable.

Should it take this long?

Tuesday marked the five-

Since the initial requests made March 10, the Herald-News has received information from all but one local government either in-person, via U.S. mail or by email. As of Thursday afternoon, the village of Minooka’s response had yet to arrive via U.S. mail.

During a follow-up phone call Thursday, the Minooka village clerk noted the response was sent March 11 via U.S. mail. During that conversation, the reporter asked if she could send the information via email instead. The clerk said she only had a printout but would reach out to the village’s finance director for

Will County Board OKs property tax settlement with Lemont refinery

Shorewood-Troy library window project wrapping up

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com SHOREWOOD – Construction barriers have finally been cleared from the Shorewood-Troy Public Library after crews finished a window-wall replacement project last week.

The $78,000 project also will be slightly under budget, despite a switch in main contractors and several months of delays, Library Director Jennie Mills said. “[Patrons] are happy to see it back,” Mills said about the now open reference and early readers areas, which were blocked off during construction. “It’s a very nice area and we’re happy with the results.”

The project started Aug. 29 as demolition crews deconstructed the two-story window-wall. The wall was in serious need of repair, according to an architectural study. It was supposed to take six weeks.

But project delays and what library officials said was a lack of cooperation by previous project contractor Continental Construction Inc. pushed back its completion.

Timeline of the project: Aug. 18, 2014: Project expected to start with three-day demolition Aug. 18-20: Library closes Aug. 20: Demolition delayed Aug. 29: Demolition occurs Oct. 2: Building Committee discusses construction delays Oct. 9: Board discusses Continental Construction delays Nov. 13: Board discusses legal representation for library regarding project Nov. 22: Building Committee discusses delays and potential litigation in closed session Nov. 24: Continental completes framing Dec. 29: Construction picks up after legal pressure by library, village and architects Jan. 8, 2015: Board cancels contract with Continental after Continental cuts off communication Jan. 24: Library hires RoMAAS Inc. to complete project Feb. 17: Project continues March 12: Project is substantially completed March 18: Project passes inspection by village engineers Contractor Alex Mihailescu, owner of RoMAAS Inc., took over the project in January after library officials said Continental ceased construction and communication on the project.

Construction was completed March 12. Library officials walked through the project the next day, and village of Shorewood engineers inspected the project, approving of the work

Wednesday, Mihailescu said.

Library Board Vice President Thomas Novinski also approved of the results.

“We were very happy with what RoMAAS did to complete the project,” Novinski said.

“They did a good job updating Jennie and the board.”

Novinski said the project had its ups and downs.

JOLIET – The Will County Board on Thursday unanimously approved a settlement agreement with Citgo Lemont Refinery – bringing five years worth of property value assessment disputes closer to an end.

Since 2010, the Lemont oil refinery disputed the $270 million assessment of its property by the Will County Assessor’s Office and filed appeals each year.

The majority of the 14 taxing bodies involved are scheduled to vote on the proposed settlement within the coming weeks.

Rhonda Novak, Will County’s supervisor of assessments, said the five-year agreement is “good news” for the county and the other taxing bodies involved following years of uncertainty, with Citgo’s repeated appeals.

“It brings stability,” she said, noting the negotiated agreement is the result of “a lot of hard work” from all parties involved.

Pete Colarelli, Citgo government and public affairs manager, told The Herald-News Wednesday that Citgo was aware of the proposed agreement but declined to comment until negotiations were complete.

As part of the pending agreement, Citgo has agreed to drop its objections from 2010 to 2014. The pending agreement lays out the aggregate equalized assessed value of Citgo property between 2014 and 2018. Values would be set at $260 million for 2014; $240 million for 2015; and $230 million for 2016, 2017 and 2018.

Citgo first appealed its assessment in 2010, when Novak’s office more than doubled the oil refinery’s property tax assessment from $105.8 million to $258

million in 2010, she said.

At the time, Novak said her office increased the refinery’s assessed value because of Citgo’s completion of a new ultra-low sulfur diesel unit that same year.

In 2011, her office assessed the property at $270.5 million.

The multi-year agreement with Citgo is not retroactive, Novak said, meaning the school districts and other taxing bodies will not be required to pay back the tax money already collected from the oil refinery.

If that was the case, the refinery would have been owed close to $20 million in tax dollars.

Romeoville Mayor John Noak said the agreement provides “a level of certainty” over the next five years.

With several years worth of appeals from Citgo hanging in the balance, the village had set aside money in an escrow account in case money was owed back to Citgo, he said.

“We’re always cautious when there’s a dispute,” he said.

Part of the agreement bars Citgo from seeking certification or treatment of any new or existing improvements at the Lemont Refinery in efforts to gain tax exemptions, thereby resulting in a lowered assessment.

The agreement also signifies a “partnership” between Citgo and the community, Novak said.

Under the agreement, Citgo would contribute $50,000 each year to Lockport Township High School District 205 for the development and implementation of innovative programs for students.

Citgo would contribute $25,000 to Will County School District 92 for similar programs.

Man tries for order of protection against police

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A man accused of stealing an ambulance last month wanted protection from police.

Instead, he’s facing arrest.

On Tuesday, Ross Crampton came into the Will County Courthouse to seek an order of protection, according to court records.

Crampton allegedly requested they be served on the New Lenox Police Department, Will County Sheriff’s Police, Manhattan Police Department, Frankfort Police Department

and the Central Intelligence Agency.

“When he was told by the clerks he would need names to submit the orders, [Crampton] became argumentative [but] left when deputies arrived,” a memo being circuRoss A. lating around Crampton the courthouse Thursday read.

“There was a potential security issue we wanted the staff to be aware of,” Acting Chief Judge Dave Carlson said.

On Thursday afternoon, Carlson ordered Crampton’s bond revoked and issued a warrant for his arrest.

“He came to the courthouse exhibiting disruptive behavior that caused great concern for the safety of himself and others,” Carlson said.

Crampton, 29, of the 17300 block of Oak Park Avenue in New Lenox, was arrested and charged with auto theft Feb. 22 after police allege he stole an ambulance from Silver Cross Hospital.

Crampton was taken to the hospital for a psychological evaluation after a standoff in

Crampton was released from jail March 2 after posting 10 percent of his $100,000 bond in the theft case.

On Sunday, Crampton was arrested on a disorderly conduct charge by New Lenox police for allegedly showing a badge to a customer at Starbucks and claiming he was a security officer who wanted to search her purse.

Neighbors voice concerns about new subdivision

By SARWAT S. AHMAD Shaw Media correspondent LOCKPORT – A new proposal for a subdivision at the defunct Karen Springs 5 property in Lockport has neighbors concerned about quality of life issues.

A request by M/I Homes for a special-use permit for the 87-acre property, located west of Gougar Road between 163rd and 167th streets, was presented Wednesday night for review at the City Council’s committee of the whole meeting.

The proposal for the Sagebrook subdivision, which outlines a plan to build 139 single-family homes and 92 townhouses, is set to come April 15 to the City Council for approval.

Also planned are a large park on the east side of the property along Gougar Road and storm water detention ponds with native vegetation instead of deep water ponds.

Jim Petrakos, First Ward candidate in the April 7 election, spoke on behalf of the subdivisions’ residents. He said while residents are happy the proposal is residential as opposed to past commercial proposals, “We want to see it done right.”

Residents would rather see the park on the west side of the property where it could be used by children from the two adjoining subdivisions, he said. Petrakos also voiced concerns about encroachment of vegetation, as well as “bugs and other critters” from the proposed shallow ponds.

Another concern for the residents is the proposed use of vinyl siding or cement-based Hardie board siding instead of bricks, which match the adjacent existing homes, he said.

“We want tweaking and discussions that show that this is more about ‘community’ than ‘selling homes,’ ” Petrakos said.

Mike Holmes, who is on the

homeowners’ association for Karen Springs 4, expressed concerns about long-term maintenance costs of the ponds overwhelming the association for the new subdivision, thereby leaving problems untended.

The civil engineer for the developers, Michael May, told the committee maintenance for the detention ponds is less extensive than for deep water ponds, requiring only an annual burning, and natural vegetation takes years to spread.

“If designed correctly, mosquitoes will not be a problem,” he added.

The property has remained undeveloped for almost a decade, with the original proposal for Karen Springs 5 falling through after the real estate market declined in 2008.

Haunted house concept approved

Separately, the City Council approved a concept plan for a haunted house attraction proposed by Legacy Events LLC. The plan is to build a 23,000-square-foot haunted house and warehouse, with an investment of about $2 million.

Approval of final plans will not take place until April or May, according to City Administrator Ben Benson.

The city also will consider an intergovernmental agreement with the Lockport Park District and Legacy to use $125,000 of its reserve funds to do a chip and seal application on the south portion of Canal Road, which is a gravel road.

This would be a development loan repaid by Legacy with a temporary $1 entertainment tax per visitor, Benson said.

Benson said while the attraction will pay taxes to the park district, the city expects it to draw tens of thousands of visitors to Lockport.

The plan was presented at

Will County Board member questions department hire lleonecross@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Tea Party conservative Steve Balich scrutinized the Will County Board’s approval Thursday of a replacement hire in the Will County Land Use Department.

Balich initially raised the issue during the Republican caucus meeting that same morning, saying the county should be “more prudent” moving forward on new hires and citing Gov. Bruce Rauner’s proposed state budget cuts to local governments.

Under Rauner’s proposal, Will County stands to lose $5 million.

“Before we get new hires, we really got to be prudent. I would hate to hire somebody

and have to turn around and lay them off,” Balich said. “I’d hate to vote no and they really need it, but at the same time, I don’t feel comfortable voting yes because I don’t know if they need it.”

Balich and fellow Republican County Board Member Annette Parker voted no on the Land Use senior planner hire – one of two department hires on the County Board’s agenda.

Land Use Director Curt Paddock said the hires are justified, and criticized Balich’s decision to bring up the issue a mere few minutes before the vote. He noted County Executive Larry Walsh’s approval is required before he can post a job opening.

“I welcome the opportu-

nity to demonstrate accountability, but you know, that’s a much more meaningful conversation if it’s done in a structured way rather than this randomness of this 11th hour,” Paddock said after the meeting. “It’s really late in the whole process to be questioning ‘Do we need this or that position?’ when it’s already been approved.”

He also said staffing has been drastically cut in the nearly 10 years Paddock has been with the department. He has 35 employees, down from 60 in 2005.

The department sought to fill a vacant position that oversees day-to-day zoning administrative issues. The position’s annual salary is $65,000 and was included in

is sponsored by the Morris Downtown Development Partnership, according to a news release from the MDDP. The new festival is a spinoff of the former “Liberty Days” and will focus exclusively on art, celebrating both local and regional talent. In addition to artistry, the weekend features food vendors, an ice cream social, kids chalk art and other activities, as well as the popular Liberty 5K Run. The event provides an opportunity for singers, dancers, actors and musicians to showcase their

talents at live outdoor performances throughout the weekend.

In order to differentiate the walk from traditional craft fairs, artists are required to submit an application to participate, including photos of their work. Space is limited and applications must be received by June 1.

QUICK NEWS Cloonen encourages signing up for tax alerts

State Rep. Kate Cloonen, D-Kankakee, is encouraging taxpayers to sign up for income tax refund alerts through the Illinois Comptroller’s tax refund website.

Residents can visit www. myrefund.illinoiscomptroller.com to check the status of their individual Illinois income tax refunds.

The website allows taxpayers to see if their payments have been processed by the Comptroller’s office and the history of their refund payments, according to a news release from Cloonen.

“This useful website can help families anticipate when to expect their extra money instead of guessing when their check is in the mail or which day they will receive their refund,” Cloonen said in the news release. “The increased transparency this tool provides will help families better plan for their financial future.”

MORRIS – Musicians, dancers, painters and other purveyors of the visual arts are being sought for the inaugural Liberty Arts Festival in Morris.

The three-day Liberty Arts Festival will run June 25 to 27 and

The department handled a little more than 1,000 plumbing inspections in 2014.

Man who allegedly attacked Bolingbrook police underwent mental health evaluations

Architect says there is plan to address concerns • SUBDIVISION

Continued from page 8 the committee of the whole meeting and then approved in the City Council meeting immediately after, despite concerns by council mem-

bers Denise Marynowski and Kelly Turner.

Marynowski cited changes requested by the fire department, while Turner expressed unease about not giving the public a chance to express opinions on the project.

The architect for the project, Charles Smith, said Legacy is already developing a plan to address the fire department’s concerns and that the quick approval was needed because “getting this ready for the Halloween season is paramount,” he said.

JOLIET – Doctors agree the man who investigators say struck a Bolingbrook cop with a steel pole before he was shot by another officer is mentally ill.

But a psychologist be lieves Levan C. Davis, 22, could not understand the criminality of his actions, Levan C. while a psychiDavis atrist thinks Davis was not experiencing delusions during the Aug. 7, 2013, incident.

Davis is charged with attempted murder and aggravated battery and faces a bench trial this week before Judge Dave Carlson. His mental state has been the only significant difference in how attorneys for the Will County State’s Attorney’s office and Will County Public Defender’s office have presented the case.

Robert Davis felt threatened the morning his son became agitated over a missing remote control, and Robert Davis called police to their home in the 300 block of Walnut Circle. Officers Jason

into his condition ... doesn’t see the need to take medication or how his actions appear to others,” Zoot said.

Davis was prescribed antipsychotic injections after failing to take oral medication, but had not gotten a shot for three months before the incident.

Dr. Syed Ali, a psychiatrist, reviewed Zoot’s report, but said it would not be logical for Davis to open the garage door if he felt threatened by the police officers. Ali believes Davis has bipolar disorder.

“How would you explain his behavior [that morning]?”

Assistant Will County State’s Attorney Marie Griffin asked.

“Anger,” Ali answered.

But Assistant Will County Public Defender Julie Primozic said Davis’ mental history shows he becomes deluded when he doesn’t take medication. In August 2009, Davis was committed after barricading himself in his bedroom because he believed his parents were impostors trying to poison him, Primozic said.

“He believed Kim Kardashian’s stepfather was his stepfather and also his lawyer,” Primozic said.

Closing arguments are expected to be held next week.

Mitchem and Eli Limacher spoke with Robert Davis in the driveway before Levan Davis opened the garage door.

Instead of complying with police orders, Levan Davis grabbed a hollow 4-foot galvanized pipe and struck Limacher on the head, according to court testimony. Mitchem testified earlier this week he shot Davis twice because he feared for his and Limacher’s safety.

Davis spent a week in the hospital and was questioned by police when he was released. A video recording of that interview was played in court Thursday.

Davis told investigators he had physical fights with police before and “didn’t want to die.”

“Were you trying to kill him?” an officer asked Davis during the taped interview.

“No. I was thinking about a getaway,” Davis replied.

In court Thursday, Davis fidgeted with his hands and shifted back and forth in his chair throughout the 25 minutes the recording was played for Carlson.

Dr. Randi Zoot, a psychologist, said Davis “believed he heard the police say they were going to shoot him or his father.” She has diagnosed him with a psychotic disorder.

“He has a minimal insight

Joliet YMCA swim team expanding

By MIKE MALLORY mmallory@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Children ages 6 to 18 will soon have the opportunity to join a competitive swim team in Morris, as the Joliet YMCA JETS expand to an untapped area of potential.

“We always look to identify communities where we can fill a gap,” said Missy Durkin, executive director for the Morris Community YMCA, a part of the Greater Joliet YMCA. “We reached out and families expressed interest in expanding the swim team to Morris.”

The Morris Community YMCA is holding a parent information meeting at 6 p.m.

March 24 at the new Morris YMCA, 320 Wauponsee St. in Morris. A second meeting at Morris Community High School will be at 5:30 p.m.

April 13. JETS head swim coach Dave Hedden said parents will learn about the structure of the year-round program and what to expect.

“Our goal with all of the kids is to develop them to the best they can be, in water and in life,” Hedden said. “In addition to the details of the program, we want to begin developing relationships in the community.”

Durkin said parents of children from Morris and the rest of Grundy County will find the program, like all other YMCA programs, catering to the ar-

If you go Q WHAT: YMCA JETS information meetings Q WHEN: 6 p.m Tuesday at the Morris YMCA, 320 Wauponsee St., Morris or 5:30 p.m. April 13 at Morris Community High School, 1000 Union St., Morris Q KNOW MORE: Visit www. jetsyswimteam.org for more information ea’s needs.

“Besides the youth development and social-skills building found in all of our branches, this program will fit what the community wants,” Durkin said. “We realize that every community is different.”

Although swimmers based in and around Morris will compete as Joliet Y JETS, they will practice at Morris Community High School in April and May, and the Morris City Pool in June and July. All competitive meets will take place within a 45- to 60-minute radius of Morris.

“One thing that’s different about Morris is Joliet has several different high schools,” Hedden said. “It’s possible the connection with the community here could be greater because we can help develop swimmers prior to high school, and it could be a great feeder program for Morris High School.”

“Fifty to 60 swimmers would be nice, though,” Kline said. “I’m excited to be in Morris and reach a larger group.”

Hedden said the YMCA al-

ready has about 135 swimmers in the Greater Joliet program.

Staff also need volunteers to help at meets.

“Each session requires about 50 volunteers, and we have two or three sessions per meet,” Hedden said. “We will have parent volunteers at the information sessions so those interested will learn about

helping at the meets. Oftentimes parents volunteer an entire season.”

Hedden said prospective families don’t need to attend an information session to tryout, but tryouts will be held at the YMCA’s spring swim clinic from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m.

April 20 to 23 at Morris Community High School. Swimmers will be coached and evaluated throughout the week, and registration materials will be provided.

Swimmers who the coaches believe are not yet ready to join the team will be offered alternatives, such as YMCA swim lessons or a pre-competitive program called Flight School.

As a nonprofit, the YMCA seeks sponsorships in Morris and potential naming rights for future swim meets held in town. Hedden said naming rights would include banners and displays at events. Additional sponsorship opportunities outside of naming rights also are available.

Grundy County Lemont High School administrator reducing staff for next year position posted

By DAN FARNHAM

dfarnham@shawmedia.com

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – After months of discussion, the job position for Grundy County administrator was posted earlier this week.

The Grundy County Personnel Committee approved last week the job description and pay range for county administrator and it has been posted online at grundyco.org.

“I’d like to see someone with a great deal of financial experience and budgeting,” Grundy County Board Vice Chairman David Nelson said.

“I’d like the candidate to have government experience, but we’ll have to see what kind of response we get.”

Personnel committee members Ann Gill and Vicki Geiger, who also sit on the finance committee, asked the finance committee last week for guidance in setting the salary for the position. The finance committee approved going up to $100,000 for the candidate who is selected.

The county has had four administrators since 2011.

Grundy County Board Chairman David Welter said Monday he hopes increasing the salary will pull in the candidate officials are looking for – someone who can help get the county back on track.

Nelson said the audit has shown the same deficiencies year after year and he wants to see someone come into the position who is willing to get his or her hands dirty and get the job done.

“We need someone to make it right, some decisions may not be popular but it has to be fixed,” Nelson said. “We have a new HR director cleaning up that office, we have a new IT director, this will be the final piece to make it work.”

The committee also approved a request for proposal for the county’s insurance provider.

Last May, personnel com-

“I’d like to see someone with a great deal of financial experience and budgeting. I’d like the candidate to have government experience, but we’ll have to see what kind of response we get.”

David Nelson Grundy County Board vice chairman mittee members and then-Human Resource Director Debra Johnson started a discussion about switching the county’s insurance brokers due to alleged communication and professionalism issues. The proposed change caused heated discussions.

In June, Morris-based Northern Insurance Group, which had been the county’s insurance broker for five years, was replaced by Williams-Manny Insurance Group.

Welter said the board has been pleased with the service provided by Williams-Manny, but were going out to bid because of a promise made when they signed the contract in June.

“When we left Northern we told the public and the employees we would go out for a proposal in one year to make sure we are getting a good rate,” Welter said.

Nelson said he is happy with Williams-Manny and he hasn’t heard any complaints.

“They’ve been in contact with us constantly and it appears they are working to save us money,” Nelson said.

Welter said once bids are received, the board will open the bids and score them before meeting to decide who the county will go with, whether it’s staying with the current provider or finding a new one.

LEMONT – With incoming freshman enrollment expected to decrease next school year, Lemont High School plans to eliminate six parttime positions and reduce one full-time position to parttime.

The Lemont High School District 210 School Board held a public hearing Monday on the reduction, which is re-

quired by school code when reducing staff by a certain percentage.

The school has not reduced staff since 2012.

The school staff is comprised of the equivalent of a little more than 105 full-time positions.

According to school records, enrollment is expected to decrease from 1,423 students this school year to 1,389 next year.

Superintendent Mary Tic-

knor said the teachers being affected come from the science, English, social studies and art departments.

She said the reductions were based on staffing needs for classes students requested for next year, not budgetary reasons.

“After we did the schedule and looked at the student request, we didn’t have enough sections to necessitate keeping these part-time teachers on staff,” she said.

Despite some initial challenges with the village of Romeoville on March 10, Sarver received a salary list via email the same day he made his request.

Upon visiting Village Hall, Sarver was told by a desk clerk that the information was available on the village’s website, but did not specify where.

Sarver later that day could not locate the information on the village’s website.

After some phone calls, Sarver was guided to the annual treasurer’s report available online, but that document only had people’s names and broadly categorized salary figures.

When asked if he could get more precise information, the office staff transferred him to the village administration office, where a representative walked Sarver through the process of filling out a FOIA request and sending it over.

He then received the information later that day.

The Herald-News staff intends to compile salary data that it collected through this exercise to be used in future articles to share with readers.

In Joliet, staff in the city clerk’s office handed over the city’s salary list to LaFortune on March 10. Moments after he filled out a FOIA form, a member of the staff printed out the list, which included salaries, full names and titles.

Joliet works to provide information to residents who request it and to assist people in getting whatever it is they seek, City Manager Jim Hock said. If a request is unclear, staff will work with people to better understand what they want.

“Basically, our philosophy is, here is everything we have got on the subject, have at it,” Hock said.

Joliet also is working to provide more depth on information, such as on the city budget, through its website, Hock added.

A similar exchange hap-

pened at Shorewood Village Hall, where Stanley filled out a FOIA form and was immediately handed a two-page spreadsheet.

In Will County, the list came via email by the start of the following week in the form of a text file with full names, salary rates and titles.

In Channahon, the list came via email two days after the initial request. The first list included titles and salaries, but left out names, so the reporter called requesting additional information. Staff was accommodating and provided the information the next day via email.

An hour after Stanley’s trip to Plainfield Village Hall, he received a call from the village clerk asking for his email address so she could send a link to the salary information. The online document offers title description and salary information, but no names.

It’s available on the village’s website at public.plainfield-il.org/WebLink8/0/ fol/213995/Row1.aspx.

Shanker had success in getting information in New Lenox and Lockport. Shanker did not have to fill out a request for New Lenox, and a staff member showed him how to access the salary informa-

In the case of Crest Hill, the salary information arrived via U.S. mail on Wednesday – six business days after the initial request. The list included only employees’ last names and salaries, but no titles were attached.

These results also raise the question: Should it take nearly a week to receive basic information as citizens, researchers or reporters? State law allows public bodies up to five business days to fulfill a FOIA request. That doesn’t mean local governments must take that long.

Novinski also said for all the issues related to Continental, the original contrac-

Mills said some additional work still needs to get finished. Concrete in front of the window on the outside of the building heaved up in the past several years.

Illinois to divert ‘fair share’ fees from unions

By JOHN O’CONNOR The Associated Press SPRINGFIELD – Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner, dogged in attempts to eliminate fees paid to unions by workers who choose not to join, has instructed state agencies to divert money from nonunion employee paychecks away from organized labor until a judge settles the matter.

In a memo obtained by The Associated Press, general counsel Jason Barclay directs departments under the Republican governor’s control to create two sets of books: One with the “proper pay” and one, to be processed, that reduces the worker’s gross pay by an amount equal to what is normally paid in so-called “fair share” fees.

The idea was immediately condemned by the American

Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, the largest of two dozen unions that filed a countersuit over Rauner’s executive order.

“This legally questionable scheme shows the lengths to which Gov. Rauner will go in his obsession to undermine labor unions,” AFSCME executive director Roberta Lynch said in a prepared statement.

“To frustrate lawful fair-share agreements, Rauner is ordering payroll staff to make unauthorized reductions in employees’ established salaries.”

Rauner signed an executive order last month eliminating the fees nonunion members pay, calling it a First Amendment violation.

He’s seeking a federal court’s declaration that they are unconstitutional.

But the memo raised questions about how the de-

ductions would affect federal tax withholding or health-insurance payments. Taxes are based on gross pay – if it’s lower, less is withheld, creating potential headaches down the line.

“We are confident in the process laid out in the memo,” Rauner spokeswoman Catherine Kelly said in a prepared statement. “It’s no surprise that AFSCME is doing everything in their power to deny state employees from exercising their First Amendment rights.”

Rauner, a businessman who admires Republican governors of Indiana, Wisconsin and elsewhere who have reduced the power of unions in those states, has also proposed “right-to-work” zones where local voters could decide whether workers should join unions.

20 Ram 1500 choices: Your truck, your way Buying a new truck is all about making choices, and very few truck lineups offer more choices than the award-winning 2015 Ram 1500.

It won Motor Trend’s half-ton pickup truck competition, was named Esquire’s “Truck of the Year,” and most recently U.S. News & World Report picked the 2015 Ram 1500 as the “Best Full-size Truck for the Money.”

“In addition to being a fully capable full-size pickup truck, reviewers say the 1500 has the smoothest ride in the class and first-class cabin materials that make it feel like a luxury car,” said Jamie Page Deaton, Managing Editor – U.S. News Best Cars. “The Ram 1500 also has an available diesel engine with plenty of grunt for towing, as well as great fuel economy.”

The awards reflect what may be Ram 1500’s strongest asset: you can have your truck the way you want it, to do what you want to do. And do it in style. Ram 1500 is the most recognizable pickup on the road, with its “big rig” front end design and large grille.

For 2015, choices abound. Ram 1500 offers 10 trim levels and three cab designs that can carry from three to six passengers. There are two transmissions – both automatics – linked to three engine choices including an award-winning EcoDiesel that gets up

to 29 miles per gallon highway. There are three cargo box sizes up to 8 feet long. It can be had in two-wheel or four-wheel drive configurations. And there are now 11 different exterior color choices.

Ram 1500 leads the pack with a truckload of exclusive, pioneering, fuel-saving systems, including: an available eight-speed automatic transmission, stop-start system, thermal management system, pulse-width modulation, active aerodynamics with grille shutters, and an air suspension.

Ram 1500 is offered in regular, Quad Cab and Crew Cab configurations, and available in Tradesman, Express, SLT, Big Horn/Lone Star, Outdoorsman, Sport, Laramie, Laramie Longhorn and Laramie Limited trims. A new addition, unveiled at the recent Chicago Auto Show, is the Ram 1500 Rebel, a crew-cab-only with a Hemi engine and customized look that goes on sale in the second half of this year.

There is a unique flair in each of the trim levels. For example, for the Laramie Longhorn interior, a very rare walnut grain with a unique burl was selected. Unintentionally created by ranchers using trees as fence posts for barbed wire, the trees grew over the rusting metal, creating a swirl color pattern and tone that is not found

The 2015 Ram 1500 continues to lead all full-size pickups in fuel efficiency, but its popularity also reflects a wide range of models that make it a real go-anywhere, do-anything vehicle for the family or individual.

Pictured are the 2015 Ram 1500 Laramie Limited Crew Cab 4x4, and its award-winning interior.

anywhere else.

Ram engineers also developed a unique redundant system that control of the heating and air conditioning, either through a “comfort bank” of switches or on the Uconnect touchscreen. Uconnect offers up to an 8.4-inch touchscreen and multimedia such as Bluetooth hands-free phone system and navigation system.

Power is also a menu of efficient, powerful choices. The base Ram 1500 engine is a 305-horsepower V-6 mated to an eight-speed automatic trans-

mission, but most trim levels also offer the 3.0-liter turbo EcoDiesel V-6 with 240 hp. Available is the massive 395-hp, 5.7-liter Hemi V-8, mated to an automatic six-speed. The Hemi is standard on the Express and optional on other trims, but is standard with an eight-speed automatic on the Sport, Laramie Longhorn and Laramie Limited.

Ram is also a workhorse. Depending on configuration, it can tow from 4,450 to 10,650 lbs. adno=0300777

But he later became a vocal critic of conservative politics in Australia and a thorn in the side of the center-right Liberal Party that he once led and eventually quit in disgust in 2010 following the party’s election

of the current Prime Minister Tony Abbott as its leader.

Fraser became the unelected leader in 1975 when then Governor-General John Kerr dismissed the chaotic, frenetically reformist government of Prime Minister Gough Whitlam.

ILLINOIS ROUNDUP

Headed to prison Former Illinois state Rep. Keith Farnham of Elgin, who is terminally ill, is surrounded by media Thursday as he is wheeled from court in Elgin,after being sentenced to eight years in prison for compiling and trading more than 2,000 pornographic images of children online. Judge Edmond Chang denied a request from Farnham’s attorney to allow him to remain under house arrest and die at home.

He was ordered to report to prison in 60 days.

Ex-lobbyist sues over pension earned as teacher for a day

SPRINGFIELD – A retired lobbyist is suing an Illinois retirement board over benefits that he qualified for by subbing at a school for one day.

The Chicago Tribune said former Illinois Federation of Teachers lobbyist David Piccioli qualified for the teacher pension based on his years as a union employee. But legislators passed a 2012 law that tried to scale back Piccioli and another lobbyist’s benefits.

Piccioli argues the state constitution doesn’t allow for a pension to be “diminished or impaired” after it’s set. He gets roughly $31,485 from the Teachers Retirement System, and the newspaper estimates a lawsuit win could boost his teacher pension by more than $36,000.

Piccioli gets another state pension around $30,000 for his time as a legislative aide.

His pensions are based on pay as a union lobbyist.

Cook County judge says medical pot delay can continue

CHICAGO – A Cook County judge ruled Thursday that a temporary restraining order delaying a medical marijuana cultivation center in northeastern Illinois can remain in place.

Judge Kathleen Kennedy also ordered the plaintiff to post a bond of $200,000 to compensate for any harm caused if delays are later found to be improperly granted.

Ford, Iroquois and Kankakee counties. But the plaintiff, a company called PM Rx, claims the Illinois Department of Agriculture broke its own rules when awarding permits and it should have been the winner.

The case, one of at least four legal proceedings entangling Illinois’ marijuana program, involves questions about a secret selection process and whether unsuccessful businesses will ever know why their applications failed to win permits.

Schock leaving with about $3.3M in campaign funds

CHICAGO – U.S. Rep. Aaron Schock is resigning from Congress with about $3.3 million in his campaign funds and several options for spending it.

The Peoria Republican controls funds for himself, the GOP and one for other

candidates.

Federal law used to allow officials leaving office to keep that money for themselves.

But that’s no longer allowed.

Schock may use the cash to pay any legal bills he’s incurred amid recent questions about irregularities in his spending. He also could return the money to donors or give it to other candidates, the GOP or to charity.

Or Schock could hold on to the money in case he tries to make a political comeback.

The 33-year-old announced Tuesday he’ll resign March 31, saying the constant questions had become a distraction.

Lottery’s two-time director Jones will step down

CHICAGO – Illinois Lottery Director Michael Jones has told his staff he’s quitting.

In a memo, Jones said his last day is Friday and his only

immediate plan is to take a “surfing vacation.”

Jones headed the Illinois Lottery twice. The first time was from 1981 until 1985.

Then-Gov. Pat Quinn named him director in 2011.

Quinn and Jones were criticized for a proposed agreement to end a contract with the Lottery’s private manager, Northstar Lottery Group. In January, Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan notified Jones that she was rejecting the proposal because of possible legal violations and the potential for higher fees.

In his memo, Jones said of the issue that his effort to “straighten” out the Lottery’s “new private manager model” had proven more difficult than he’d expected.

Cops: Dealers paying teens to transport drugs via train

LaPORTE, Ind. – A yearlong

police investigation has discovered criminal organizations are paying teens and young adults to transport drugs from Chicago to northwest Indiana.

The LaPorte Metro Operations Unit said the South Shore Railroad is frequently used to transport heroin and cocaine to and from both locations.

Metro Operations Commander Harlan Williams told The Times the sellers appear to be normal commuters who keep the drugs hidden in bags or on their person.

Williams said investigators in LaPorte County are teaming up with law enforcement for the railroad and surrounding communities to intercept people transporting drugs.

He said police have arrested 15 young dealers and identified another 15 so far this year.

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS Secret Service chief denies reports of crash

WASHINGTON – The new director of the Secret Service went on the offensive Thursday on Capitol Hill, disputing characterizations in news reports that two senior agents crashed a government vehicle into a security barrier at the White House after a night of drinking earlier this month.

“Previous reports of a crash are inaccurate – there was no crash,” Joseph Clancy said during a hearing by a Senate Appropriations subcommittee.

“The video shows the vehicle entering the White House complex at a speed of approximately 1 to 2 mph, and pushing aside a plastic barrel. There was no damage to the vehicle.”

Clancy also told lawmakers some video recordings of the March 4 incident have been erased and the agency is working to recover them.

Poll: Public unaware Obama’s health law is in jeopardy again

By RICARDO ALONSO-ZALDIVAR The Associated Press WASHINGTON – With a decision due by summer in a Supreme Court case that could unravel President Barack Obama’s health care law, a new poll finds many Americans have heard nothing about the case.

But when the potential fallout is explained, most say it would hurt the country and they would look to Congress or the states to fix it.

Although recent oral arguments before the Supreme Court got national media attention, 53 percent said they were unfamiliar with the case, according to a Kaiser Family Foundation poll released Thursday.

Opponents of the law say its precise wording allows the government to subsidize coverage only in states that set up their own insurance markets, or exchanges. Most have not done so, defaulting to the federal HealthCare.gov.

When people were asked about the potential consequences of a Supreme Court

ruling to deny financial assistance in states with federally run insurance markets, 62 percent said that would have a negative impact on the country.

“The public is not making a legal judgment,” said Drew Altman, CEO of the foundation. “When it’s explained to them that some people will get help depending on whether the state or the federal government runs the marketplace, it does not seem fair to people. It does not make sense to the majority.”

The Kaiser foundation is a nonpartisan information clearinghouse on health care issues. The poll is the latest installment in its survey series, which has tracked public opinion since the inception of Obama’s overhaul.

Overall, it found Americans remain divided over the health care law, which offers subsidized private insurance to people who don’t have access to it on the job, plus expanded Medicaid coverage for low-income adults in states that accept it. Forty-three percent view it unfavorably,

while 41 percent have a favorable opinion.

The Supreme Court case is known as King v. Burwell.

Supporters of the law argue that while the wording of particular provisions may be confusing, the clear intent was to provide benefits in all states.

No one knows how the court will rule. It could side with the Obama administration, or strike down subsidies that more than 8 million people are receiving.

The outcome seems to hinge on the votes of Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Anthony Kennedy.

While Kennedy asked sharp questions of both sides during oral arguments, Roberts said little. Kennedy voted against the law in the 2012 case challenging its constitutionality.

Roberts provided the key vote to uphold it.

If the Supreme Court invalidates subsidies for people in some three-dozen federal marketplace states, most poll respondents (65 percent) said Congress should pass a law so residents of all states can get financial assistance.

Even so, the prospect of such a major shift in the program that provides health care for 40 million seniors unnerved Senate Republicans, already eyeing the 2016 campaign in which they must defend their newly won majority. They omitted mention of it in their proposal.

Both blueprints envisioned

an overhaul of the tax code, details to be determined later.

Red ink was projected to give way to a small surplus in 2024 in the House plan, and one year later under the Senate’s scenario.

Pentagon spending was controversial, improbably so for a party that has long enjoyed more favorable public ratings on defense than Democrats.

In both houses, though, defense hawks had to struggle with fellow conservatives for whom deficits were an equal concern.

After an overnight delay caused by internal differences, House Republicans agreed to settle the matter next week, when they are expected to add $38 billion to their defense plan to match Obama’s requested increase.

Enzi struggled with the same issue in the Senate committee, where numerous Republicans said he had shortchanged defense by proposing less than Obama recommended.

Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, a Republican presidential hopeful, said the Senate plan “fails to prioritize our national defense after years of damaging cuts to our nation’s military.”

On the Senate budget panel, a second White House hopeful, Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., won party-line 12-10 approval of a $38 billion proposal to raise military spending to levels the House is expected to approve next week.

Pentagon spending has been constrained in recent years by a bipartisan agreement that imposes separate caps on defense and domestic accounts.

FBI: Tsarnaev’s computer contained extremist materials

By DENISE LAVOIE The Associated Press BOSTON – Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev had a variety of extremist materials on his computer, including an issue of the al-Qaida magazine Inspire with an article entitled “Make a Bomb in the Kitchen of Your Mom,” an FBI agent testified Thursday.

Tsarnaev, 21, faces the possibility of the death penalty in the 2013 attack, which killed three people and injured more than 260.

During opening statements this month, his lawyer admitted that he participated in the bombings, but said his older brother, Tamerlan, was the mastermind who recruited a young, impressionable Dzhokhar into the plan. The de-

fense argues that Dzhokhar does not deserve the death penalty.

Prosecutors, however, have portrayed Dzhokhar, then 19, as an active and willing participant in the bombings. Tamerlan was killed in a gun battle with police after the bombing.

On Thursday, Kevin Swindon, a supervisory special agent for the FBI’s cyber squad in Boston, reviewed the contents of Tsarnaev’s laptop computer, as well as a desktop computer at his family’s Cambridge apartment, thumb drives and other devices.

Several devices, including Dzhokhar’s computer and a thumb drive found in his dorm room at the University of Massachusetts-Dartmouth, contained issues of Inspire magazine and other radical

materials, including a series of audio lectures by Anwar al-Awlaki, an American-born Muslim cleric who was suspected of being a terrorist and killed in a U.S. drone strike in Yemen in 2011.

Judy Clarke, one of Tsarnaev’s lawyers, said during her opening statement that much of the material on Tsarnaev’s computer was on subjects more common to college students, including girls, cars and homework. The defense contends that for much of the radical material cited by prosecutors, it is impossible to tell whether Tsarnaev is the one who downloaded it or if it was sent to him by others, including his brother.

In fact, the thumb drives introduced Thursday contained material that appeared

to have been put on them by other Tsarnaev family members, including a pay stub of his sister-in-law and a rental agreement in her name. Tsarnaev’s thumb drive also contained homework by some of his college friends.

Swindon was expected to be cross-examined by Tsarnaev’s lawyers on Monday, when the trial resumes.

In the indictment against Tsarnaev, prosecutors allege he downloaded a copy of Inspire that included instructions on how to build bombs with pressure cookers, the kind of device used in the marathon bombing. Two pressure-cooker bombs exploded near the marathon finish line.

Earlier Thursday, an FBI bomb technician testified that shrapnel from the explosives

Tsarnaev and his brother hurled at police days after the 2013 attacks was found up to a block away.

Brian Corcoran said parts of a pipe bomb and pressure-cooker bomb – including a dead man’s switch, a circuit board and a homemade remote control – were found on a residential street in Watertown after the Tsarnaevs had a violent confrontation with police. A dead man’s switch is typically used to detonate an explosive device if the operator is killed or incapacitated.

A large portion of the pressure cooker was found embedded in the door of a car parked in a driveway of the street. Photos shown to the jury showed the pressure cooker apparently burst through the door and became wedged in a large hole.

WASHINGTON – Republicans in Congress advanced balanced-budget plans bristling with cuts in Medicaid and other benefit programs Thursday, determined to make a down payment on last fall’s campaign promise to erase deficits by the end of the decade.

Last-minute maneuvering to match Pentagon spending levels requested by President Barack Obama consumed GOP lawmakers in both the House Budget Committee and the counterpart Senate panel.

Yet the GOP’s focus also extended to deficit reduction, repeal of the health care law, an overhaul of the tax code and other budget priorities long advocated by conservatives in control of both houses of Congress for the first time in nearly a decade.

“By demanding Washington live within its means, we are forcing government to be more efficient, effective and accountable,” Rep. Tom Price, R-Ga., said after gaveling the House’s version of the budget through its Budget Committee on a 22-13 party-line vote.

The Senate budget panel,

chaired by Sen. Mike Enzi, R-Wyo., followed suit a few hours later, on a 12-10 vote that also fell along party lines.

Critics voiced their dissatisfaction in unsparing terms.

“What they are proposing is to cut programs for some of the most vulnerable people in this country – the elderly, children, sick low-income people,” said Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, an independent who may run for president next year as a Democrat.

“At the same time they want to give significant tax breaks to the wealthy and the large corporations.”

Both the House and Senate budget blueprints called for more than $5 trillion in deficit reduction over the next decade, the overwhelming portion of it coming from repeal of the health care law and savings from social programs including Medicaid, welfare, food stamps and Medicare. Details were sparse or, in some cases, non-existent.

There were differences in the two plans, to be sure.

For the third year in a row, House Republicans showed an eagerness to convert Medicare into a voucher-like program for individuals who enroll beginning in 2024, a change that would generate significant

Islamic State says it’s responsible in Tunisia attack

By JAMEY KEATEN and PAUL SCHEMM The Associated Press TUNIS, Tunisia – The Islamic State group claimed responsibility Thursday for the attack that killed 21 people at a museum. But Tunisian authorities said the two slain gunmen had no clear links to extremists, and analysts said existing militant cells are merely being inspired by the group, rather than establishing its presence across North Africa.

Police announced the arrest of five people described as directly tied to the two gunmen who opened fire Wednesday at the National Bardo Museum.

Four others said to be supporters of the cell also were arrested in central Tunisia, not far from where a group claiming allegiance to al-Qaida’s North African branch has been active.

Tunisians stepped around trails of blood and broken glass outside the museum to rally in solidarity with the 21 victims

– most of them foreign tourists from cruise ships – and with the country’s fledgling democracy. Marchers carried signs saying, “No to terrorism,” and “Tunisia is bloodied but still standing.”

In claiming responsibility for the attack, the Islamic State group issued a statement and audio on jihadi websites applauding the dead gunmen as “knights” for their “blessed invasion of one of the dens of infidels and vice in Muslim Tunisia.”

Several well-armed groups in neighboring and chaotic Libya have already pledged their allegiance to Islamic State based in Iraq and Syria, but the attack of such magnitude in Tunisia – the only country to emerge from the Arab Spring uprisings with a functioning democracy – raised concern about the spread of extremism to the rest of North Africa.

Analysts cautioned against seeing every such attack as evidence of a well-organized, centrally controlled entity span-

the extremist group appears to be trying to raise its profile by associating itself with attacks around the region.

Confronted with a poor economy, young Tunisians have disproportionately gone abroad to fight with extremist groups in Libya, Syria and Iraq, including some affiliated with the Islamic State. Upon their return home, some may have decided to carry out attacks on their own.

Tunisian authorities have estimated that of the 3,000 young people who left the country to fight with radical groups, about 500 have returned.

“It could have been people AP photo Tunisian Interior Minister Mohamed Najem Gharsalli (second right) who fought with the Islamic and House Speaker Mohamed Ennaceur (right) attend the funerals of State or were inspired by it,” elite security member Aymen Morjen on Thursday.

Rivals bomb Yemen president’s southern stronghold

By HAMZA HENDAWI The Associated Press ADEN, Yemen – Forces loyal to Yemen’s former president stormed the international airport in Aden on Thursday and sent fighter planes to bomb the palace in the southern port city where the current president has been based since fleeing from the rebel-held capital last month.

Troops fended off the airport attack, the airstrikes missed the palace and President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi was in a safe place, Aden’s governor Abdel-Aziz bin Habtour said.

But the violence, which he said had left 13 people dead, marked a major escalation in Hadi’s long-simmering conflict with former autocrat Ali Abdullah Saleh, who is allied with the Shiite rebels, known as Houthis. Hadi remains Yemen’s internationally recognized president and has been a close U.S. ally in the battle against a powerful local al-Qaida affiliate.

Thursday’s attacks were led by forces loyal to Saleh, who stepped down in 2012 in the face of an Arab Spring uprising. A U.N. and Gulf-brokered deal saw Hadi, his vice president, assume office.

But Saleh had never really conceded power, and Hadi has accused his predecessor of acting through well-placed loyalists to obstruct efforts to reform the government and the security forces. The U.N. Security Council has sanctioned Saleh and top Houthi rebel leaders.

The Houthis swept down from their northern strongholds and seized the capital Sanaa in September. They now control at least nine of Yemen’s 21 provinces. Hadi fled Sanaa last month after the Houthis put him under house arrest and he established a temporary capital in Aden, Yemen’s main economic hub and the former capital of the once-independent south.

The assault on the airport set off clashes between forces loyal to Saleh and Hadi in Aden, with

The warplanes then launched three airstrikes at Hadi’s palace, located on a rocky hill overlooking the Arabian Sea. The strikes caused no damage and Hadi was not present at the time, bin Habtour said.

It was not clear whether the planes were flown by Saleh loyalists in the military or by

Houthi rebels, who control several military and air bases in and around Sanaa.

The attempt to capture Aden’s airport appeared to be aimed at isolating Hadi and weakening his hold on the city.

It is not yet clear if he will be able to leave Aden by the end of the month to attend an Arab Summit in Egypt. Officials said the airport is operating again,

but there were no flights out Thursday evening.

Late Thursday, a statement issued by Hadi described the day’s events as a “failed military coup against constitutional legitimacy.”

Last week, Saleh had boasted he would corner Hadi.

“Those fleeing to the south ... will find only one exit: the Red Sea toward Djibouti,” he said in a speech to his supporters.

Hadi is a southerner, and his loyalists – in the military, police and militias known as Popular Committees – dominate Aden. But two army units in the city are loyal to Saleh, as are 3,000 police special forces under Brig. Gen. Abdul-Hafez al-Saqqaf. Hadi tried unsuccessfully to reassign al-Saqqaf earlier this month, prompting clashes.

It was al-Saqqaf’s forces that stormed the airport early Thursday, sparking battles with pro-Hadi forces. Machine-gun fire rang out and explosions shook the terminal building.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR JOLIET CITY MYSTERIES: SNOW PLOWING AND FINANCES To the Editor:

There are several Joliet city mysteries the mayor and council members should clear up. Why weren’t the snowplows used during the big snowstorm Feb. 1 and 2?

For two days, there were no plows on my street, and I only saw one on a major street. The roads became snow-packed and rough. Previous years, they did a good job plowing during and right after the storm.

Why this time did they decide not to plow for two days?

Three days and many complaints later, they started plowing but did not put the blade down low enough, leaving 4 inches of snow. Finally, they put the blade down low enough and the streets were plowed multiple times. Some say we need more plows and employees. Why invest in more plows or employees when they didn’t use the ones we have?

Finances often are a mystery. First, they were short of money and raised taxes. Next, they miraculously found money. They had several projects/ equipment they said were needed, but we never heard what happened to them. Major projects get undertaken without referendums.

It’s a mystery to me how much employees pay toward their health care, what the full retirement age is, and what percentage of the pension is funded. City employee salaries listed on the Internet show they are very well paid. Why, when the economy was bad and taxpayers got no raise, did the city unions get big raises?

Public sector unions donating to politicians who determine their compensation is a conflict of interest.

Worse yet, why do we have a mayor and so many council members with strong ties to city unions? I think the city union-politician relationship has something to do with these mysteries.

OUR VIEW

A patron saint for openness in government It’s Sunshine Week across the land, a time when advocates of openness in government point out how important such transparency is to the proper functioning of democracy on all levels.

Illinois, which is infamous for government corruption, needs all the transparent government it can get.

Some might say honest government doesn’t have a prayer in Illinois.

Hmm. Perhaps the effort could use a patron saint.

And we have just the man for the job: St. Patrick, whose memory has been celebrated this week.

Why? Well, legend has it that St. Patrick drove the snakes out of Ireland.

And history certainly shows that Illinois has had more than its share of “snakes” in government positions, from corrupt governors and corrupt congressmen down to corrupt city officials.

Over the years, Illinois has had enough corruption to fill a book.

That’s what authors Thomas J. Gradel and Dick Simpson just did.

Last month, they came out with “Corrupt Illinois,” subtitled “Patronage, Cronyism and Criminali-

ty,” published by the University of Illinois Press.

Spanning 270 pages, the book chronicles 150 years of government corruption across the Prairie State.

Most of us are familiar with four relatively recent governors who went to jail for corruption: Rod Blagojevich, currently in federal prison; George Ryan, who was released not too long ago; Dan Walker; and Otto Kerner. Three previous governors also were indicted but escaped conviction.

Illinois has a former congressman, Jesse Jackson Jr., in prison, following in the footsteps of corrupt ex-U.S. Rep. Dan Rostenkowski.

State legislators have gotten into hot water. Former state Rep. Derrick Smith, D-Chicago, is a recent example. Smith, who was recorded accepting a bribe, was kicked out of the House, re-elected by voters, then convicted in a federal trial and booted from the House again. What’s up with that?

From Chicago, which over its history has had more aldermen convicted than you can shake a stick at, to downstate, with former Secretary of State Paul Powell and his legendary shoeboxes filled with cash bribes,

“Corrupt Illinois” covers the state’s sordid history of corruption.

Chapters also deal with judicial corruption, Cook County corruption, suburban corruption, police corruption and judicial corruption.

The thing about corruption is that it thrives in darkness. For crooked government officials, the more secrecy, the better.

Open records laws, specifically the Illinois Freedom of Information Act and the Illinois Open Meetings Act, are designed to help let the sun shine in on public records and government meetings.

When government officials know for certain their actions and records will be subject to public scrutiny, they should be less likely to risk unethical and illegal actions.

That’s the theory, anyway.

“Corrupt Illinois” offers various ideas for reform, all of which deserve consideration.

It also details previous reform efforts. Some succeeded, while others failed.

Reformers and the public who are sick of government corruption should take a lesson from St. Patrick: Keep up the pressure, and drive out the snakes.

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

IHSA CLASS 4A BOYS BASKETBALL STATE SEMIFINAL PREVIEW

Raiders face Stevenson, Brunson in semifinals

By CURT HERRON

Bolingbrook’s Dimitri Akenten goes up for a shot during the second half of Tuesday night’s Class 4A Hinsdale Central Supersectional against West Aurora.

cherron@shawmedia.com Bolingbrook’s boys basketball team will make history Friday night when it makes its first appearance in the IHSA finals.

But the Raiders’ opponent in the Class 4A semifinal, at 6:30 p.m. at Peoria’s Carver Arena, will be looking to accomplishment a different type of history.

After finishing second in 2013 and third last season, Stevenson hopes it finally can capture its first state championship in the sport.

Coach Pat Ambrose also led his Patriots to a fourth-place finish in Class AA in 2007, so the lone trophy it is missing is for first place.

No. 2 Stevenson (28-3) has lost to only one Illinois team, No. 1 Simeon, which was upset

by No. 5 Normal Community (32-1), 64-50, in the Normal Supersectional.

The Patriots, who’ve won 13 of their past 14, earned their third straight state appearance after beating Riverside-Brookfield, 62-45, in the Chicago State Supersectional.

Leading the way for Stevenson is Jalen Brunson (23.1 points), who is regarded as one of the top point guards in the country and is a finalist for na-

Villanova.

Other top performers for the Patriots include guard Connor Cashaw (16.3 points), forward Justin Smith (10.3) and guard Matthew Johnson (8.4).

“When you play a team as good as Stevenson is and against as a good a player as Jalen is, it’s always going to be a challenge, but everybody’s good at this point,” Raiders coach Rob Brost said. “They provide us with some great challenges. But they have to play us, too, and we’ll do our

“Obviously, they have very good players and are very wellcoached, as all of the teams that will be down there are. We know that they’re the prohibitive favorite for most people, but that’s a role that we kind of relish, so we’ll see how we can do on Friday night.”

Brost’s 24-6 squad has won 18 of its past 19 since starting the season with a 6-5 record.

Prentiss Nixon (16.8 points), Brodric Thomas (11.8), Julian Torres (9.5) and Dimitri Akenten (8.3) lead the way for the Raiders, who never had ad-

“We have a special group that has really come together,” Brost said. “From one through 15, we’re all together and all on the same page, and that’s rare in high school basketball.

“It’s great that this is the first and only time that we’ve been this far as a program. But there’s work to be done, and we’re going down there to play two games. All of the pomp and circumstance are part of it, and I want our guys to enjoy all of that and have fun with it.

But at the end of the day, we have two games to play, and

that’s what we’re focused on.”

In the 8:15 p.m. semifinal, Normal will take on No. 9 Geneva (30-3), which won, 57-52, in two overtimes over Lake Park in DeKalb to earn its first state appearance since 1963.

Normal, which has won 17 straight, is led by Alex Peacock (14.6 points) and Tyler Seibring (14.4). Geneva, which has won 21 of its past 22 games, is paced by Nate Navigato (20.7 points) and Loudon Vollbrecht (11.0).

IHSA CLASS 4A BOYS BASKETBALL STATE SEMIFINAL PREVIEW

By CURT HERRON cherron@shawmedia.com

Curt Herron – cherron@shawmedia.com

The Bolingbrook’s boys basketball team has benefited from the practice efforts of (from left) Ajay Tidwell, Clifton Smith and Frasean Isom.

“It’s improving them individually and improving our other guys, as well. Obviously, we have a high level of players in our top group, so these guys going against them every day is really preparing them not just for now, but for next year, when their roles will increase a lot.”

While many would prefer to contribute more in games than primarily in practices, the three juniors are happy with their roles and with how they’ve helped the team to improve.

“Everybody on this team has their role, and we make the other guys go hard so that they can execute in games,” Isom said. “The coaches get us ready with the scouting, and we have to execute what the other team does so our starting five knows what to do in games. It’s not easy, but we have trust in our coaches, and if you have that, you can do anything.

“Our guys should know what’s coming since they went over it with us. It feels good that we’ve helped get them

ready so we could get to the next step. I like how our team came together since everyone doubted us. We kept working in practice and stayed together.”

Beside helping the starters to perform better in key situations, the group knows that their practice time against the starters also will improve their games.

“It’s fun to go out there every day to practice against these types of talented players,” Smith said. “I try to go out there and do my very best

BOLINGBROOK – A quick glance at the season statistics for Bolingbrook’s boys basketball team doesn’t show too much from the trio of Frasean Isom, Clifton Smith and Ajay Tidwell.

Heading into Friday’s Class 4A semifinal game against Stevenson, the three juniors have combined to play in only 22 games while scoring just 21 points.

But the group has contributed in a much more significant way that isn’t so easily measured by their own individual statistics.

They’ve dutifully served as the opponent in practices, following their coaches’ scouting reports to try to mirror upcoming foes to better prepare the likes of Prentiss Nixon, Brodric Thomas and Julian Torres for the challenges that they’ve faced in recent weeks.

And based on the fact that the 24-6 Raiders have won 18 of their last 19 games, the combination of scouting reports and their application in practice has worked pretty well.

“These guys work really hard, and they’re the unsung heroes of our team,” Raiders coach Rob Brost said. “Our team is getting a lot of publicity right now, and rightfully so; but these guys are a tremendous part of what we’re doing, and we wouldn’t be here without them.

to try to compete with them and get after them. After practicing with the best, I’ll be prepared – and next year, I can go out there and show people who I am because they make you bring your ‘A-game’ every day.

“I listen to my coaches after they scout other teams, and they tell me what I need to do, and then I try to execute it in order to get the team prepared. As you can see, that’s helped us out. We’ve gotten so much better and smarter trying to out-think them. It’s been exciting.”

So while the trio may not have many statistics to demonstrate their contributions, the fact that they’re on a team playing on the final weekend is testament to their efforts.

“We go hard in practice, which makes it a little easier for the starting five to be ready at game time,” Tidwell said.

“Our coach gets us ready by preparing us with the scouting so we can run through the other team’s plays. It’s hard because our starting five are really good, but that makes us better, too. It feels good to go downstate with these starters.

“I see what these guys can do in practice, so when it gets to the game, we expect it from them. I like the way that Prentiss, BT (Brodric) and Ju (Julian) and all of the starting five have been doing their part. We’ve had a terrific season and it’s been really fun to watch.”

SPRING TRAINING REPORT: PLAINFIELD CENTRAL BASEBALL

Plainfield Central returns to winning ways

By DRAKE SKLEBA Shaw Media Correspondent PLAINFIELD – In 2014, Plainfield Central baseball finished 20-17 overall and 11-10 in the Southwest Prairie Conference.

For coach John Rosner’s Wildcats, it was the third consecutive winning season. The last time the Wildcats had that sort of consistent success was when legendary Central coach Don Martin’s team strung four consecutive winning seasons from 1997 through 2000. Martin won 421games in his 23-year coaching tenure.

Rosner is three for three on the winning side of the ledger as he enters his fourth season at the helm of the Wildcats. He has compiled a 60-45 record at Central.

“We have really been able to do some good things here in our first three years,” Rosner said. “We are now at the level where we can compete

and contend for a conference championship. We have a great group of people who are willing to work hard, which will lead to our continued success.”

The Wildcats will be led by senior third baseman/ right-handed pitcher Austin Blazevic. Blazevic hit .350 with 25 RBIs in 2014. Plainfield Central returns one pitcher from 2014, so the multi-talented Blazevic will toe the rubber for the Wildcats this spring.

“I’m really looking forward to pitching this spring,” Blazevic said. “I will do anything to help us win. I had a good season at the plate last year, and I have been working very hard in the off-season to get better.

“We had a fine season last year, winning 20 games and making it to the regional final.

I really believe we can be even better and challenge for the conference championship.”

Central returns only four

“We are now at the level where we can compete and contend for a conference championship.”

John Rosner Plainfield Central baseball coach regulars. Senior center-fielder Danny Brandon returns and will lead off. Senior Johnny Kostelz returns at second base.

Junior right-handed pitcher Zach Pirc returns after picking up some innings on the mound as a sophomore. Two highly rated juniors, catcher Matt Bunetta and right-handed pitcher Sultan Solebo, could have an immediate impact.

In a 10-5 victory over Lincoln-Way Central in Tuesday’s season opener, the Wildcats scored six runs in the first inning. Brandon, Kostelz and Bunetta all went 2 for 2. Bran-

don doubled and knocked in four runs and Kostelz drove in two. Pirc picked up the save in relief of winning pitcher Justin Willner.

“We are very young on the mound, but I really like the way our young pitchers have been throwing,” Rosner said.

“I truly believe we will be competitive in the three-game Southwest Prairie Conference sets. Austin (Blazevic) is our leader. He is a tremendous athlete and a fine hitter from the left side of the plate. I know he’ll be a tremendous asset to us pitching.”

The Southwest Prairie’s perennial powers, defending champion Minooka and Plainfield North, will be the teams to beat in 2015. Plainfield South and East return some quality and along with the Wildcats could contend for the SPC crown.

“Plainfield North is loaded,” Rosner said. “They have their top three pitchers back

Morgan already has committed to Florida State and will ignite the Warriors’ lineup at the top of the order.

Larry W. Kane for Shaw Media

Junior shortstop Dani Morgan has committed to Florida State and is coming off a sophomore season in which she hit .464 with seven home runs, 24 RBIs, 47 runs, nine doubles and five triples. paign on the varsity, it has been all about stepping up into more of a leadership role, becoming more vocal on and off the field.

“Helping lead, I like it,”

Morgan said. “I like that people can look up to me as an example. Our lineup is going to be a huge [difference-maker].

We really don’t have a weak spot. Each individual person

just has to go up there and be confident.”

The Warriors also will look to Ruskowsky (.400, seven homers, 28 RBIs, 32 runs), Carly Souder (22 runs, 26

RBIs), Rachel Andrade, Kayla Seymour and Emily Ray to do damage offensively.

“Our hitting will be a strong point, especially coming off last season. We can do that again,” Souder said. “Our top goal is to improve and get better, especially off our wins from last year. Over the past couple years, we’ve had 30 wins [each season], and we want to win more.”

In the circle, Ruskowsky will step into the No. 1 pitcher spot. Following in Dieringer’s footsteps, she isn’t feeling the pressure. She is just looking to do her thing and carve out her own niche – one, she hopes, with a lot of wins and strikeouts.

“I want to give my team a chance to win and throw my best pitches,” Ruskowsky said.

“I think our team has enormous potential. I’ve got to get ahead of the hitters. That’s rule No. 1. Keep throwing strikes.”

So for Novak, back-to-back 30-win seasons are solid building blocks. But the Warriors want more.

“We want to continue to build off our success,” Novak said. “While it has been great we’ve had 30-plus wins the past two seasons, we need to do a better job of competing in the postseason.”

• Friday, March 20, 2015

NEW LENOX – Gone is star pitcher Morghan Dieringer, along with her dominant statistics compiled over an impressive high school career.

A 62-15 career record, a 1.80 ERA, and 651 strikeouts in 497 career innings. All gone. Dieringer now is pitching at University of St. Francis.

So for Lincoln-Way West softball coach Heather Novak and the Warriors, the mindset for the new season is next pitcher and next hitter up.

“We’re definitely not expecting our pitchers to be Morghan,” Novak said. “She was striking out half the batters she faced. We return seven starters from last year, so we hope confidence from previous seasons [rolls over].”

With their ace gone, the Warriors have an all-handson-deck mentality.

Still, Lincoln-Way West is poised for another strong season. In addition to returning seven starters, Novak’s squad returns a solid defense and a pitcher in Amanda Ruskowsky, who won 10 games last season with 105 strikeouts.

Lincoln-Way West finished 31-4 last spring, winning the SouthWest Suburban Red title before falling to Manteno, 7-4, in a Class 3A regional final.

Manteno eventually finished second in state.

“I think the sky is the limit for this group,” West standout junior Dani Morgan said.

“We’re going to work hard, keep focused and work toward a common goal. We all think the same thing. We all want the same thing. We want a state championship.”

Morgan and a loaded lineup are key reasons for optimism in New Lenox. The junior shortstop has committed to Florida State and is coming off a sophomore season in which she hit .464 with seven home runs, 24 RBIs, 47 runs, nine doubles and five triples.

NFL DRAFT PREVIEW

Morris’ Henry geared up for Pro Day

By RYAN WOODEN Shaw Media Correspondent MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich.

– Coming off a heartbreaking defeat in the Bahamas Bowl that saw his Central Michigan football squad make a feverish 34-point comeback only to fall short on what would have been a game-winning two-point conversion, Kevin Henry didn’t have much time to mourn.

It was the end of his collegiate career, sure, but having dreamed of playing in the NFL since he was 5 years old, it also was the beginning of what he hopes to be the realization of that dream.

“We got back from the Bahamas on Christmas, and I spent Christmas with my family and New Year’s with my family,” Henry said. “But then, on Jan. 2, I was in a car on my way out to New Jersey where I train, so I didn’t take too much time.

“I didn’t want to be sitting around doing nothing. My dream is to play in the NFL, and I knew it was time to get started.”

Tumultuous bowl game or not, Henry knew he would have a lot of work to do between the end of the collegiate season and the NFL Draft.

He trains with renowned NFL Tim Fitzgerald – Central Michigan University sports information trainer Brian Martin, who has Kevin Henry, a Morris graduate, prepares to throw a block worked with the likes of Baltifor the Central Michigan football team. more Ravens QB Joe Flacco and

Arizona Cardinals CB Patrick Peterson. He now trains at Parabolic, a performance training center based in New Jersey.

Now, with Central Michigan’s Pro Day on tap Friday, Henry looks to impress dozens of NFL scouts by showing an improved 40-yard dash time and overall skill set. If he runs the sub-4.9 second time he’s hoping for, he may even hear his name called this spring at the draft in Chicago.

As of now, most talent scouts believe Henry will be a priority undrafted free agent, meaning he wouldn’t be selected in the seven rounds of the draft, but he’d be contacted by a team and offered a contract with an opportunity to earn his way onto the 53-man roster at an NFL training camp.

Jeff Curts, a talent evaluator who publishes “The Slant: NFL Draft Guide” annually, currently rates Henry as one of the 80 best offensive tackles (out of more than 175 evaluated) and agrees that Henry currently is looking like an undrafted free agent.

However, he admits a sub-4.9 second time in the 40 could put him on a team’s radar to merit a selection.

“His chief asset is his footwork,” Curts said in an email earlier this week. “He moves, slides well, but he has a tendency to play high. ... He’s a better

run blocker than pass protector at this point.

“The Chippewas played in a pro-style offense with a lot of play-action, so that’s advantageous. He’s a hard worker with a sound work ethic.”

He concluded that Henry’s best bet would be to get into a camp and take advantage of limited reps to earn a spot on a practice squad while he develops.

When Henry read Curts’ evaluation, he thought it was a fair assessment.

“As of now, everything is pointing at undrafted free agent,” Henry said. “But my numbers are going to be a lot better than what some websites have me listed.

“For me, though, it really doesn’t matter. [Being drafted and going undrafted] both have their pros and cons, but I’m just looking for an opportunity.”

As Henry continues to work toward that opportunity, his agent, Dave Schuman, has had inquiries from all 32 NFL teams regarding Henry.

Ultimately, Henry’s performance at his Pro Day will be a major factor in whether he’s picked. Regardless, after he completes his combine drills, he’ll focus on position-specific work heading into the draft.

And once he lands with an NFL team, that’s when the real work will begin.

The ASSOCIATED PRESS PITTSBURGH – Out of timeouts, Northeastern passed the ball five times on its final game-tying possession. Zach Stahl frantically waved his arms when he fought his way open under the basket, yet no teammate saw him.

Quincy Ford coughed up the ball one final time – and ended the Huskies’ last-gasp effort at pulling off the shocker.

Zach Auguste scored 25 points, Jerian Grant added 17 and Notre Dame dodged a threat trying to erase its futile NCAA Tournament history with a 69-65 win over Northeastern on Thursday.

“I didn’t think there was any fear factor going into the game,” Northeastern coach Bill Coen said.

No fear, just a giant scare.

The third-seeded Irish were fortunate to even win by 4.

The Irish returned to the tournament after a one-year absence determined to build off their ACC Tournament title and make a Final Four run in March.

The Colonial Athletic Association champion Huskies played with the 40 minutes of grit needed to avoid a crushing defeat like so many other double-digit seeds throughout tournament history.

But the Huskies finally collapsed with sloppy play over the final minutes that ended the upset bid.

The final possession was the costliest one. After the Huskies fumbled the ball, Auguste, who made 10 of 14 shots, sealed it with two free throws.

“The clutchest free throws of his career,” Notre Dame forward Pat Connaughton said.

The Huskies are left wondering if they could have won had they not burned their timeouts.

The Fighting Irish (30-5) will play the winner of Texas-Butler on Saturday.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Troy Caupain banged a layup off the rim with 61 seconds left, and his Cincinnati teammates told him to shake it off.

PORTLAND, Ore. – Ohio State might only go as far as D’Angelo Russell can take the Buckeyes in the NCAA Tournament. So far, that’s good enough to roll into the round of 32.

Russell scored 28 points to rally Ohio State from an early 12-point deficit, and the

10th-seeded Buckeyes beat seventh-seeded VCU, 75-72, in overtime on Thursday.

The freshman sensation did just about everything for the Buckeyes in their tournament opener.

Russell regrouped from an elbow that sent blood streaming down the left side of his face near the end of regulation, and he showed in nearly 45 minutes on the floor why he likely will be a top pick in this summer’s NBA draft.

The quick and crafty lefthander made 10 of 20 shots, including 4 of 7 from 3-point range, and added six rebounds, two steals and two blocks to bring the Buckeyes (24-10) back in both halves and overtime.

Amir Williams added 13 points, Jae’Sean Tate scored 12 and Shannon Scott had 10 assists to help Ohio State avoid a second straight one-and-done showing in the tournament. The Buckeyes will face second-seeded Arizona on Saturday.

For the Atlantic 10 champion Rams (26-10), it was another heartbreaking first-round defeat.

‘A very mixed bag’

Joliet Junior College hosts 40th anniversary exhibit of prolific Joliet photographer

By BRITTANY KEEPERMAN Shaw Media Correspondent JOLIET – In 1973, Bob Campbell of Joliet attended a Beach Boys concert and took his father’s Range Finder camera along, hoping to capture some shots of his favorite band.

After a night of shooting, Campbell wound the film back into the canister but forgot he had left the back of the camera open. He ruined most of his photos.

Campbell’s father suggested he take a photography class. Shortly after, Campbell enrolled in a night course at Plainfield High School, and thus began his photography career, which has spanned 40 years so far.

Some of his favorite shots are on display in the Laura A. Sprague Art Gallery at Joliet Junior College. “Career Favorites” is Campbell’s second retrospective exhibition. It runs through April 2.

Campbell said he was the featured artist at Presence Saint Joseph Hospital in Joliet with “The Story Behind the Picture,” a showcase of his 12 favorites shots from years 2000 to 2012.

“Career Favorites” features Campbell’s portraits and landscape work, particular to the Joliet community, where Campbell has worked most of his life. Campbell said he appreciated the layout and grouping of his different photos, which show the versatility, variety and – at times – the spontaneity of his best work.

“What makes this so interesting is that it’s a very mixed bag,” said Joe Milosevich, JJC art professor and gallery director. “There’s commercial – studio – and non-studio photos, some very fine art. It’s a very nice range of photos, from social commentary to outdoors. In some respect, I think it gives people a really interesting perspec-

PUZZLES CROSSWORD

SUDOKU

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

When third hand cannot win the trick

CELEBRITY CIPHER

A German proverb goes: When two dogs fight for a bone, and a third runs off with it, there’s a lawyer among the dogs.

Yesterday, we looked at third hand high on defense. When trying to win the trick, third hand puts up the bottom of his equally high cards.

For example, from J-10-4, he plays the 10. But what does third hand do when he cannot win the trick because someone – partner or second hand – has already played a higher card than his best?

Look at the East hand in today’s deal. West leads the diamond ace against four spades. Which card should East play?

Over South’s one-spade opening, West wanted to act, but had nothing that he could do. To make a takeout double with only a doubleton heart would have been asking for trouble.

And a two-level overcall requires at least a five-card suit.

North was right to jump to four spades. Yes, declarer might have been about to lose the first four tricks, but it might have been laydown.

When West leads the diamond ace, East is supposed to signal whether he does or does not hold the queen. And the way to do that here is to follow suit with his queen, the top of touching honors, as he cannot win the trick.

The queen shows the queen and the jack (or a singleton queen, which is impossible here). This should give West the key to the best defense. He should lead a low diamond at trick two. East will win with his jack and shift to the club queen, giving the defenders the first four tricks. **

are acidic, like orange juice, or salty foods. They can make your child’s mouth sores sting. Cool or frozen liquids (like Popsicles) work better than warm ones.

• Give acetaminophen and/or ibuprofen (never aspirin) for fever and pain.

• Talk to your doctor about numbing medicines to help the mouth pain, if sores are severe.

Most of the time, children with hand, foot and mouth disease get better without seeing the doctor. But call the doctor if: • Your child has a high fever (102 degrees or higher) that doesn’t come down with ibuprofen or acetaminophen, or any fever that lasts more than three or four days.

• Your child isn’t drinking and shows signs of dehydration. Signs include: – Dry mouth or no tears when crying; – Decreased urine (children should urinate at least once every six hours); – Increased sleepiness or fussiness.

In the last few years, a new species of Coxsackie virus and a related virus called enterovirus A71 have been identified in the United States (and elsewhere). These viruses can cause typical hand, foot and mouth disease, at first. But they can go on to cause more serious disease. That makes it more important to take your daughter to the pediatrician if she develops the more severe symptoms of hand, foot and mouth disease that I mention above.

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff

PUZZLES & ADVICE | The Herald-News / TheHerald-News.com

Dear Doctor K: Two children in my daughter’s day care have hand, foot and mouth disease.

How can I make sure my daughter doesn’t catch it?

Dear Reader: Hand, foot and mouth disease is a common illness caused by the Coxsackie virus.

The disease most often affects infants and children younger than 5 years.

The illness usually starts with a fever. The child acts listless. A day or two later, sores appear around or inside the mouth and throat. If the child is old enough to talk, he or she is likely to complain of mouth or throat pain. Because of the sores in the mouth and throat, the child also may refuse to eat because it hurts.

Little red dots may appear on the palms of the hands, soles of the feet and buttocks. The fever, sores and rash on the palms and soles can last several days.

A child with hand, foot and mouth disease is most contagious during the first week of illness.

Coxsackie virus spreads very easily by touching and other close contact.

It is also spread through: • coughing or sneezing; • contact with feces (from diapers, for example); • contaminated objects and surfaces (toys, cups or eating utensils).

The best way to avoid catching Coxsackie virus is to frequently wash hands with soap and water.

Your daughter’s day care likely has a policy about when sick children should stay home and when they can return to day care. (And, presumably, they thoroughly clean their facility every day.)

If your daughter does catch the illness, there are many things you can do to help. For example: • Make sure your child gets plenty of fluids to drink. Avoid fluids that

Dear Abby: My wife, “Tina,” was very hurt by a friend recently. Her friend “Sally” called her “cheap” during a conversation (“she’s cheap like you”).

Sally didn’t intend it to be hurtful, just an illustration – but my wife is very upset about it.

We use coupons when we grocery shop or dine out; we also watch our thermostats, recycle, etc.

On the other hand, we have sent our children to university without loans, our mortgage is paid off, we have traveled extensively and our net worth is north of a million dollars with no debt. How do I make Tina realize that Sally’s comment should not upset her so? – Thrifty

Dear Worrywart: Many young people harbor the same fear you have. But

because you say your parents tend to “freak out” at the slightest thing, I can’t help but wonder if a tendency toward high anxiety runs in your family.

Assuming that your family members are in good health, your preoccupation with the idea they might suddenly die should be discussed with a licensed psychotherapist.

Ideally, you should tell your parents what’s going on, but if you’re afraid to talk to them and ask for help, then speak to a counselor at school so the counselor can bring it to their attention. Because this is troubling you to the extent that you have written to me, please don’t procrastinate.

Dear Abby: How do you politely refuse to hug or shake someone’s hand because of a medical issue that lowers your resistance to infection?

I had a stem cell transplant 18 months ago because of a recurrence of Hodgkin’s lymphoma. I’m now on a drug that keeps my white blood count low.

If I get a fever, I could end up in the hospital. I have been in remission for over a year and look healthy.

I don’t really care to get into a long conversation about my experience, but I don’t want to put myself at risk.

How should I handle this without appearing rude? – Holding Back in

Pennsylvania

Dear Holding: Not extending your hand should send the message. However, if you are pressed, tell a short version of the truth, which would be, “I can’t do that because I have a medical condition that prevents close contact.”

Dear Thrifty: What happened was unfortunate because the problem may be that Sally simply chose the wrong word. What she probably meant was that your wife is frugal. The difference between “frugal” and “cheap” is that being frugal is a VIRTUE. Because Sally hurt your wife’s feelings, Tina needs to tell her how it made her feel so Sally can apologize to her before it causes a permanent rift.

Dear Abby: I’m a teenage girl who has a fantastic life, a loving family, great grades in school and a nice house. I have a problem that seems to be taking over my life: I’m very anxious.

At first, it seemed I was just a worrywart, but lately, it’s been nuts. I’m terrified someone in my family is going to die and I worry obsessively over it.

I try to think it’s going to be all right, but my anxiety just overtakes me.

I’m terrified of death and that my parents or my siblings will die tomorrow.

I don’t know who to tell.

My parents freak out over the slightest thing. Please help me. – Worrywart in

FRIDAY HOROSCOPE TODAY – To make headway this year, you will need to learn to say no once in a while. You are always eager to help others, but your unselfish nature will cause you to miss important opportunities. Keep your priorities straight if you want to advance.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Don’t allow anyone to meddle in your private affairs. Take a realistic look at your relationships. You can solve your personal issues if you keep your emotions in check.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Iron out details that pertain to agencies or institutions if you want things to go smoothly. Check into real estate or other long-term investments. Lady Luck is in your corner.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Don’t sit at home waiting for things to happen. It’s important to get out and enjoy group activities or community events. Avoid joint financial ventures or making a donation or loan.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Share your thoughts with friends and family. Expect someone to make an unreasonable or excessive demand.

Suppressing your hostility will make matters worse. Deal with stressful matters promptly.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – You could use a change. A creative activity will provide relief from your everyday routine. Share a hobby or game with some enjoyable people if you’d like to enjoy some laughs.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Be smart. Don’t live

beyond your means, or you will have to pay the price. A serious revamping of your spending habits will be required to get back on track.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Plan a romantic evening with someone special. Try to get away from distractions or interruptions. Let your feelings be known, and share your plans for the future.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Disgruntled colleagues can cause a great deal of tension in the workplace. Avoid gossip and malingerers.

Do your job to the best of your ability and stay neutral.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – You need to get out and enjoy yourself. A pleasant get-together with close friends will provide some laughter

and help you be more creative.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Before you make a commitment, consider what’s happened in the past when you entered binding situations. The last thing you need is to become involved in risky or dubious deals.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – You should be firm when discussing what you want. If you allow yourself to be bullied or intimidated, you will lose your self-respect. Make your feelings known.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – You can learn a lot by observing the people around you.

Watching how others deal with issues can be beneficial in helping you determine your own course of action in similar circumstances.

SATURDAY HOROSCOPE TODAY – Your high energy, charm and ability to win over any skeptics you encounter will put you on the fast track to success. No matter what your goal, the results will be astounding. Successful personal and professional relationships will give you the push you need to achieve.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Make certain that whomever you deal with is up for the challenge you present. Look before you leap to avoid wasting time on someone who cannot keep up with you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Be discreet and keep sensitive personal matters under wraps. If you are too vocal, someone will interfere in your affairs. The less you reveal, the less judgment you’ll face.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Joining an interest group will give you the opportunity to make new friends and participate in stimulating discussions. Sports, cultural or educational events will provide a creative outlet.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Turn your love life up a notch by being bold. You can add some spark with a new or enticing pastime. Make music, dance or another enjoyable activity an integral part of your relationship.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Critics may try to undermine your accomplishments, but the people

who mean the most to you will be supportive.

Make a speech or presentation or do whatever is needed to make an impression.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – You’ll avoid tension at home if you compare notes before making a decision. Don’t fall behind with your household responsibilities or chores. Ask for help when you need it.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Don’t keep putting your creative projects on the back burner. You do a lot for everyone else, and you must take time to do things you enjoy, as well.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Be truthful.

You will have to confess if you have been overspending on gambling or entertainment. The strain that you put on your budget will cause

problems with your partners.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – You’ll increase the comfort and value of your home by renovating it. Keep an eye on the real estate market.

You will find a lucrative investment property if you do your homework.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Your involvement in a humanitarian or charitable organization will lead to interesting new friendships. Your compassion for others will make you very attractive to the people in charge.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – You are likely to hear all kinds of stories, but don’t let rumors or innuendos influence your thinking. Keep your facts straight and avoid getting involved in gossip.
