A weekend with my little sunshine I don’t really get the appeal of “PAW Patrol.”

I’m probably not meant to – it is, after all, an animated TV series out of Canada that’s for kids, where a boy named Ryder leads his seven dogs on high-stakes rescue missions in the town they live in.

As far as cartoons go, let’s just say it’s no “Tom and Jerry” or “Looney Toons,” which were always were my favorites as a kid. Although now that I think of it, that in and of itself is kind of odd because those were reruns by the time I was a kid.

What can I say? The classics never go out of style – I mean, come on. Does it get better than the “What’s Opera, Doc?” with Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd? You get an engaging performance that includes ballet, Richard Wagner operas and multiple exclamations of “wabbit” in Fudd’s crazy accent.

But my 3-year-old nephew Jonathan loves those “PAW Patrol” puppies, so I’ve watched it with him. And because he loves it, and because I adore him, the birthday presents I gave him at his party Saturday were all “PAW Patrol” related – two games, and swim trunks with the dogs emblazoned on it. I’m writing this before he opened them, but I’m banking on him liking the gifts.

Being an aunt is my favorite relationship. There are few people I love more than my two nephews and niece. It feels like yesterday, and not three years ago, that I woke up to a text from my brother

with the first picture of the little guy who brings so much joy to our family (kid has an infectious, amazing laugh). It’s even hard to believe it’s been more than 10 years since I held my oldest nephew a few hours after he was born. It was the first time I believed in love at first sight.

This weekend, I get to spend some time with that little ray of sunshine who only knows the purest, most honest kind of love. I hope you get to spend part of your weekend with someone who makes you feel that way too.

Thank you for reading The Herald-News.

Will, Grundy are two of healthiest counties in Illinois

By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Both Will and Grundy counties have been named in the top 20 healthiest counties in the state.

The latest Mobilizing Action Toward Community Health study marks the seventh straight year Will County placed in the top 25 of the state’s 102 counties – at 14th – while Grundy County ranked 19th and improved 21 spots from 2015 after three straight years in the 40s. The study uses various data sets to rank counties in every state.

Will County Health Department Media Services Manager Vic Reato and Grundy County Health Department Public Health Administrator Phil Jass said their respective departments are happy with the rankings.

“We are happy our ranking has increased steadily the last couple years, but we’d like to point out it’s a mark of the community effort,” Reato said. “These kinds of rankings are not accomplished just by one agency. It takes real community involvement.”

Will County’s Mobilizing Action Through Planning and Partnerships collaborative provides a framework to help the community assess and address health concerns within the county. MAPP brings together community partners

who are willing to invest their time and talents to ensure Will County remains among the state’s healthiest.

Jass said similar to Will County, Grundy’s improvement is based on a concerted effort by Morris Hospital, medical offices, outreach organizations and residents themselves, who have focused on improving in specific areas. Ultimately, health departments can’t control what people choose to do.

“Residents may have made changes such as eating better, smoking less, commuting less and exercising more,” Jass said.

A few years ago, the Grundy County Health Department identified three priority areas to improve countywide – car-

“Overall, we’re definitely very happy with the rankings, having jumped 21 spots in one year,” Jass said.

As for the individual categories, Reato said Will County’s strengths include: length of life, high school graduation rates, low teen birth rates and help for the uninsured. Areas that could be targeted for improvement include: adult smoking rates, adult obesity, unemployment, housing problems and preventable hospital stays. Reato said MAPP will continue to focus on these issues.

In Grundy County, Jass said the rankings are another piece of data the department uses to gauge strengths and weaknesses. Departments can use data to apply for grants that help improve on weaknesses.

“For example, Grundy County is very low on mental health care providers,” Jass said. “In the county, the ratio is one

JUMP IN, THE WATER’S FINE Polar Plunge Joliet participants keep it cool for Special Olympics

By ALLISON SELK

Shaw Media correspondent JOLIET – More than 300 people donned extreme outfits such as bikinis and flannel onesie pajamas or dressed as hippies, polar bears, penguins, frogs, superheroes and clowns, as they ran, dove and swam in the frigid waters of Lake Sara at Leisure Lake Resort in Joliet in the name of Special Olympics.

The 2016 Polar Plunge Joliet, presented by Law Enforcement Torch Run and GEICO, kicked off at noon Saturday with 330 individual participants and 32 teams registered and

more than 200 spectators. Those taking part gathered a couple hours early to mentally prepare and socialize with fellow plungers, new and old.

Polar Plunge Director Patty Welsh said this plunge, of which The Herald-News is a sponsor, is one of 21 plunges around the state and has been in Joliet five years.

Fourteen years ago, Jim Aguiar’s granddaughter, Cami Bryant, had a stroke at birth, leaving her with a diagnosis of cerebral palsy and limited use of the left side of her body. Each year since 2013, Aguiar has formed a team called the Ice-A-Topes for Cami.

Twenty-three of his friends and fam-

ily jumped into frosty waters in her honor.

“My granddaughter always has a smile on her face when she competes with Special Olympics because she can compete with her peers. She competes in the softball throw, 100-meter dash and broad jump,” Aguiar said.

“We do this plunge in her honor and our team raised $17,000 for Special Olympics this year.”

Each participant must raise at least $100 to partake in the plunge.

Those who raise the $100 are given permission to plunge, a hooded sweatshirt and entry into the after-plunge party. Welsh said each year a goal is

set for the entire event and 2016 did not disappoint.

“We had a goal of $80,000 and last count we were already at $81,000 before the event started. We are one of the few plunges in the state that was at or above our set goal,” she said.

Saturday morning, participants brought in cash and checks that weren’t donated online and the online fundraising stays open until mid April. Welsh said money raised in the event goes into a general Special Olympics Illinois fund to pay for the athletes’ competitions and training.

Attorney in Evergreen Terrace case says Joliet mayor has ‘petty political agenda’

By BOB OKON

bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A partner with the law firm whose legal fees were a target in a city report on Evergreen Terrace lashed out Friday at Joliet Mayor Bob O’Dekirk and the city’s new inspector general, calling them “flat-out dishonest politicians” with “a petty political agenda.”

James Figliulo said his firm is evaluating whether it will continue to represent Joliet, which could throw a wrench in the works as the city appears to be close to taking over the low-income housing complex that has been the focus of an 11-year legal battle.

“It will be very difficult for us to continue to represent the city of Joliet unless there is some understanding that our billing is proper and some sort of statement is made by the mayor and his so-called inspector general,” Figliulo said.

O’Dekirk and new Inspector General Chris Regis held a news conference Thursday to release a report that said the city paid nearly $657,000 more than it should have because of increases in hourly rates for attorneys since Chicago law firm Figliulo & Silverman were first hired for the case in 2005.

The mayor also said the matter may be referred to the U.S. Attorney’s Office or Illinois Attorney General for a criminal investigation.

Regis said while rate increases over 11 years are not unusual, they should have been approved formally by the City Council and never were.

“What was dishonest about it?” Regis said, when told of Figliulo’s comments. “The report was pretty clear that Mr. Gigante told me the rates were approved by the city attorney, but there is no documentation of that.”

Carl Gigante is an attorney with

Shaw Media file photo

The Evergreen Terrace housing complex, in the 300 block of North Broadway Street in Joliet, is at the center of an ongoing legal conflict between the city and complex ownership.

Figliulo & Silverman whom Regis said he interviewed in compiling his report. According to Regis, Gigante had discussed the rate changes with former City Attorney Jeff Plyman.

Plyman has not returned messages left by The Herald-News seeking comment.

Figliulo said hourly rates were documented in monthly bills sent to the city and were known.

“The mayor and inspector general, I don’t believe they really represent the majority of the people of Joliet, either the city or the government,” he said.

“They’re flat-out dishonest politicians.

They’re making flat-out false statements.”

Figliulo questioned why the city continued to pay bills monthly if officials believed hourly rates were excessive.

He said his firm was paid as recently as

February.

“If they thought it was improper and they continued to pay them, they should be investigating themselves,” he said.

O’Dekirk said he was alerted several months ago by new City Attorney Marty Shanahan to a likely increase from the original hourly rates that were approved.

“We were doing a lot of checking in-house to see if there was an explanation, specifically if there was a contract,” O’Dekirk said. “Finally, it was confirmed. We kept getting different answers from [Figliulo & Silverman].

When the inspector general talked with them, it was confirmed. There was no written document.

“We didn’t want to go off halfcocked,” O’Dekirk said. “We wanted to make sure that what we thought was going on actually happened.”

O’Dekirk said that because of the difficulty tracking down documents, the matter was left for the inspector general, a new position filled in late January, to investigate.

At the Thursday news conference, O’Dekirk said the Evergreen Terrace report proved the value of hiring Regis.

“We have to hold people accountable,” O’Dekirk said. “[O’Dekirk] is not serving justice,” Figliulo said. “He’s serving his own petty political agenda with his friend, Chris Regis, whom he made inspector general and gave a raise.”

Regis, the only person considered for the inspector general position, was a prosecutor in the Will County State’s Attorney’s Office before O’Dekirk appointed him to the city position that pays $120,000 a year.

Figliulo & Silverman represented the city in a legal battle that at one point went the U.S. Supreme Court for a ruling before a federal judge in the U.S. District Court of Northern Illinois ruled in favor of Joliet’s condemnation case in 2014.

Evergreen Terrace owners have appealed the decision. While the city spent $15 million in August to acquire the low-income housing complex, the appeal has stalled Joliet’s actual ownership.

O’Dekirk, a critic of the Evergreen Terrace plan since his days as a councilman, noted at the news conference that even if the city wins the appeal it could face more litigation if the defendants appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court.

The mayor and some council members said that even with the allegations in the inspector general’s report, switching attorneys at this point could be a problem.

“I think we almost have to continue with this law firm because we’re on the two-yard line,” said councilman John Gerl. “To have another law firm at this point could be detrimental.”

Rep. eyes changes to same-day voter sign-up

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS

lleonecross@shawmedia.com

PLAINFIELD – After witnessing voters walking away from the polls Election Day because of long lines, some Will County Board members are backing state Rep. Mark Batinick’s push to change Illinois’ newly tested same-day voter registration law.

The law requires counties such as Will to have same-day voter registration capabilities at each polling place. Batinick, R-Plainfield, said his proposed bill – once amended – would require just one same-day registration site per township.

That would reduce the number of same-day sites from the statutorily required 300 to 24 in Will County. The remaining 276 regular polling sites would be reserved for those who registered ahead of time, he said.

Batinick said he’s heard stories of would-be voters walking away from the polls.

“They couldn’t vote because there was a long line.

And why was there a long

A sign points voters to the voting booth Tuesday at VFW Cantigny Post 367 in Joliet. line? Because people were registering to vote at that location,” Batinick said.

Batinick said he envisions centralized locations with high-speed Internet, on-demand ballot printing capabilities and election judges trained specifically to register voters.

“That way, you don’t disenfranchise voters,” he said.

Will County Clerk Nancy Schultz Voots said 4,889 Will County residents registered

to vote on Election Day. With a $1.3 million price tag for implementation, that’s a cost of $265 per voter, she said.

The added responsibility on election judges may be overwhelming, said Will County Board Republican Caucus Chairman Chuck Maher, R-Naperville. He noted during last week’s County Board meeting he was given a federal ballot on Election Day. The backside was blank and lacked local voting options.

“So there are folks out there who did not get a chance to vote because our guys were overwhelmed, I think, at some level, and were making these kinds of silly mistakes,” Maher said.

Some local races can be won or lost by 10 votes, he added.

“When 25 people walk out of a polling booth, or if 10 bad ballots get handed out, you’ve now skewed an election,” Maher said. “And that’s a problem.”

Will County Board Speaker Jim Moustis, R-Frankfort, said he visited about 15 polling places on Election Day. “If this whole law was to give more people the opportunity to vote, it had just the opposite effect,” Moustis said. “It was about [5:30 p.m.] at one of the locations and people just started walking out.”

Schultz Voots said nobody was turned away if they were in line by 7 p.m., but some did have to wait.

Grundy County Clerk Kay Olson said Election Day went smooth with nearly 450 peo-

ple registering to vote. But Olson said she’s glad Batinick is revisiting the law.

“It’s a burden on the counties and on voters. Everyone wants everyone to get a chance to vote, but you have people who registered in a timely manner. It should not affect these voters. The way this is right now, it does,” she said.

Batinick said he wants to amend House Bill 2936 – a bill he introduced in 2015 that determined same-day registration sites based on population sizes – to establish one site per township. He said he will amend the bill to reflect those changes once it leaves the Illinois House Rules Committee.

Lake County Clerk Carla Wyckoff said she wants to know more about the legislation before forming an opinion. Batinick’s per-township proposal would reduce her same-day sites from 122 to 18.

“You would have to weigh that against [voter opportunity] and having sites spread throughout the county,” she said.

Rialto board set to vote on interim general manager

By BOB OKON

bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The Rialto Square Theatre board is slated to appoint an interim general manager Monday.

The board last week postponed a vote on a separation agreement with General Manager Randy Green after the board’s attorney asked for more time to negotiate terms with Green and his lawyer.

As of Friday, Green was still the general manager at the Rialto.

The agenda for a special meeting at 4 p.m. Monday includes an item to appoint an interim general manager.

Board Chairman Dan Vera declined to discuss the appointment, saying it is a personnel matter that the board will consider in closed session.

The agenda also includes a vote on administrative leave for Green.

The board also is slated to vote on

a proposal for a financial review from the Joliet accounting firm Theobald Associates.

Green has come under fire as the Rialto board looks into unpaid payroll taxes since November, which is said to total more than $120,000. The city of Joliet, which provides a portion of the Rialto’s annual funding, last week advanced $10,000 to the theater to help with the payroll taxes.

The Rialto has asked the city to ad-

vance the remaining $140,000 from the second-quarter installment of Joliet funding. But the City Council last week refused to consider the advance until Green’s position was resolved. Joliet makes an annual $600,000 contribution to the Rialto.

The Rialto board meeting will be held at the theater.

The board plans to meet in closed session before taking votes on the general manager position.

Batory Foods to break ground on Wilmington distribution center in May

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS

lleonecross@shawmedia.com

WILMINGTON – Des Plaines-based Batory Foods is slated to break ground in May on a 678,000-square-foot facility in Wilmington to launch a new business line providing third-party logistics services to suppliers, according to a company news release.

The food distributor’s $20 million facility – scheduled for a November opening – will lead to 75 permanent distribution and supply chain logistics jobs and as many as 200 construction jobs, Wilmington City Administrator Tony Graff said.

Batory will serve as a third-party logistics provider for Fonterra, a leading dairy giant based in New Zealand.

Graff said the company is going above and beyond to increase food safety at the facility through the use of technology upgrades such as dock seals and real-time inventory tracking.

As Fonterra’s largest U.S. distributor, Batory is uniquely positioned to

provide a third-party logistics service experience, according to the news release.

In a statement, Wilmington Mayor Marty Orr said Batory’s investment in the city is “exciting because it will bring opportunity here.”

“Batory doesn’t just talk the ‘social responsibility’ talk. They live it. You can see that in how they’re constructing the site and the level of engagement they have already within Wilmington,” Orr said.

The facility will be located within the RidgePort Logistics Center in Wilmington – a developing 14 millionsquare-foot park with more than 1,500 acres.

The facility marks the second in Will County serving Fonterra, said John Greuling, president and CEO of the Will County Center for Economic Development.

Food processing is one of the CED’s target industries, Greuling said, and adds to RidgePort Logistics’ growing reputation as a food industry cluster.

Pictured above is a map of the preferred route for the Great Lakes Basin railroad project running from La Porte, Indiana, to Milton, Wisconsin, with Grundy County as a pass-through. The $8 billion project calls for the construction of a 278-mile freight railway that would expedite freight movement by providing an interconnection for existing Class I railroads that operate in the Chicago area.

adno=0346408

MORRIS – Public hearings are set for a privately funded proposed plan to construct a 278-mile freight railway that cuts through Grundy County farmlands.

The Great Lakes Basin railroad project – with an $8 million price tag – would run from La Porte, Indiana, to Milton, Wisconsin, with Grundy County as a pass-through.

The group behind the project – Great Lakes Basin Transportation Inc. – recently filed paperwork with the Federal Surface Transportation Board, triggering a series of public hearings and the beginnings of an environmental impact study.

The rail line would expedite freight movement by providing an interconnection for existing Class I railroads that operate in the Chicago area – including the BNSF and Union Pacific rail lines servicing the Joliet and Elwood intermodals – the company’s founder and managing partner, Frank Patton, said Friday.

The original pitch was for a significantly shorter rail line that ran parallel with the now-defunct 47-mile Illiana tollway project, but the line is now a separate project with a new route and a rail terminal planned in Manteno, he said.

But even the preferred route – viewable on the group’s website – is not set in stone, and adjustments can be made to mitigate impact, Patton said.

“From the very beginning, if there’s any one thing I’ve said that’s been constant is there’s no monopoly on wisdom,” Patton said. “That’s why you have these public meetings.”

While it’s too early to gauge the rail line’s detailed effect on landowners, Grundy County Farm Bureau Manager Tasha Bunting said the rail line would “have a huge impact on a lot of our farmers.”

Bunting said she has urged residents to attend the upcoming public hearings. The hearings best suited for Grundy residents are scheduled for 5:30 to 8 p.m. April 11 in Manteno and April 21 in Seneca.

“We will have representation at the [public hearing]. We may speak so they have us on record,” Bunting said.

The public has until May 16 to weigh in. During the process, an environmental impact statement, which will identify and assess potential environmental consequences for the project, will be drafted by the FSTB. “Whether [Grundy] is simply a pass-through, or we’ll see [economic] outgrowth off the rail line, that’s

JOLIET – A resident group filed an amended complaint Friday claiming the Lincoln-Way High School District 210 board’s decision to close North high school was done to prevent intervention from state education officials who would have discovered financial wrongdoing.

The group, Lincoln-Way Area Taxpayers Unite, Inc., also filed Friday a motion seeking a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction to prevent Lincoln-Way officials from taking any actions to close North.

A hearing on that motion is scheduled for March 24 in Will County court.

The court filings submitted Friday continues a legal battle between the resident group and the school district that began Dec. 29 over the closing of North.

The board voted in August to close the high school to resolve the district’s money crisis that landed it on a state financial watch list.

Lincoln-Way received a watch rating from the state once again this year. State officials also announced they will investigate the district to determine its financial integrity.

The group’s amended complaint elaborates on one allegation stated in its previous lawsuit that the decision was done to prevent intervention from the Illinois State Board of Education.

“Simply put, closing [North high school] would purportedly save enough money to remedy the deficit and remove the district from ‘financial watch’ status thus preventing appointment of a ‘financial oversight panel’ that would discover the years of improprieties during the period of deficit spending,” the new complaint stated.

Some of the improprieties cited in the complaint include expenses and contracts for the Superdog training facility, Aunt Nancy’s day care, the personal spending of former Superintendent Lawrence Wyllie and ques-

tionable land dealings.

The amended complaint claims ISBE officials never advised Lincoln-Way to close a school and ISBE could only do so if a financial oversight panel were appointed.

The complaint also claims if the panel were appointed to take over the district, the board and district officials were aware Superintendent Scott Tingley and Ronald Sawin, assistant superintendent of business, could be terminated.

The board “acted in a manner” to protect Tingley and Sawin while they misled the board in taking actions to prevent ISBE from appointing the panel to review known improprieties, the complaint stated.

The new focus of the lawsuit comes out of a ruling made by Will County Judge Roger Rickmon on March 4 to grant Lincoln-Way attorneys’ motion to dismiss the lawsuit.

Rickmon granted dismissal of one count in LWATU’s previous lawsuit with prejudice and dismissal of two other counts without prejudice, which allowed for an amended complaint to be filed.

He said he was concerned about one paragraph in the more than 500page lawsuit alleging the board’s decision was done, at least in part, to prevent intervention from ISBE officials, who would have rejected excuses the district gave its auditors.

Outside of that paragraph, Rickmon said there was nothing in the complaint or attached exhibits to suggest the board’s decision was arbitrary and capricious.

Rickmon said the issue of the case was not the history of Lincoln-Way’s finances but the board decision itself.

“The decision itself … is what the court is concerned with. Of all the things that are mentioned in this complaint, it’s difficult to find that basis for a determination, even if true, that the decision was arbitrary and capricious,” Rickmon said.

The district’s attorneys have 28 days to file a response to the complaint and the case is due for a status hearing April 21.

Pam Meyers

Homer Township supervisor Ambulance Protection District referendum sought a tax increase of 0.09 percent for levy year 2014 and equal to 0.58 percent of overall assessed property values for levy years 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019.

The proposal passed 2,276 to 2,202.

Homer Township Supervisor Pam Meyers said township officials will always give people a voice on tax levies and they always make financial documents available for public inspection.

She said a tax levy increase doesn’t mean taxes will increase.

“A levy request is really just an estimate. You could actually not increase the levy from one year to another … and taxes could go up, because they’re based on the assessed values of the community,” she said, referring to overall assessed property values.

Balich said he plans on visiting taxing bodies in Homer Township to explain the referendum.

He said people in Wheatland and Washington townships in Will County, Chicago’s 19th Ward, Schaumburg and Plainfield have contacted him about having a similar referendum for their areas.

“There’s going to be a groundswell coming,” he said.

bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A judge urged defense attorneys Friday to formally request the federal government provide evidence needed for a Joliet woman’s trial on sexual abuse charges.

Attorney Steve Landis told Judge Carla Alessio Policandriotes he’s been Margarita “having discussions” with federal Hernandez prosecutors to obtain evidence used in John Gabriel’s trial that was kept under seal.

Gabriel, 79, was convicted last year of manufacturing child pornography for making videos allegedly showing his girlfriend, Margarita Hernandez, having sex with teenage boys.

Landis is representing Hernandez, who is charged with aggravated criminal sexual abuse.

Hernandez, 36, who was a Troy Township Democratic committeewoman, was arrested in October 2012 after Gabriel came under investigation by the FBI for videos recorded at their home in the 6900 block of Monmoth Drive in Joliet.

Gabriel, a retired journalist for The Times Weekly and Weekly Reporter, faces at least 15 years in prison when he is sentenced.

While Landis said he’d spoken with the U.S. Attorney’s Office, he has not filed any motions in federal court to have the evidence unsealed.

“You have [evidence]. You know where it’s at, but you have no pleadings there?” Alessio Policandriotes said, prompting Landis to repeat he’s “having discussions.”

“Stop chatting. Get court orders or get told no and move forward,” the judge said.

According to court files, Gabriel recorded sexual activities of Hernandez and others, which he claimed was a religious ritual.

An email Gabriel sent a 17-yearold girl said if “participants had sex with troubled young boys then they were assisting in training the boys in better behavior, and to fight the devil,” according to the U.S Attorney’s Office.

“In addition, according to these emails, each time a participant had sex with a troubled boy, a wealthy benefactor would purchase guide dogs for the blind and fund children’s wings for hospitals,” the files stated.

HOMER TOWNSHIP – Will County Board member Steve Balich’s advisory referendum for Homer Township received overwhelming support in the March 15 general primary election but some local officials say it will have little effect on them.

Balich, R-Homer Glen, proposed an advisory referendum requiring all taxing bodies in Homer Township receive voter approval by referendum before increasing taxes.

The referendum was approved 9,358 to 1,373.

“It was real clear people were fed up,” Balich said of the vote.

Even though the referendum is not binding, Balich has said he would make it “binding” by publishing the names of elected officials who defy the “express will of the people” in newspapers and social media, he stated in a letter to The Herald-News.

However, some local officials were either uncertain of the impact of the referendum or said it wouldn’t have any effect.

Homer Glen Village Mayor George Yukich said the referendum is not binding and it wouldn’t affect the village.

According to the village’s website, it has not levied for property taxes since it was incorporated in 2001.

“I don’t know if it’s going to work or not for him,” Yukich said.

Ken Vrba, Northwest Homer fire chief, said Balich’s referendum wouldn’t affect his fire district because its own referendum approved March 16 for a tax rate increase was “locked in” for the next several years.

“We wouldn’t be going for the [tax levy] increase anyway,” Vrba said.

Board approves $39,000 technology support contract with Solid State

class registration numbers to determine whether the teachers may be rehired for the following school year.

“We’re confident he’ll be back next year,” Blanche said of White.

Part-time social studies teacher Candace Baker’s position also was eliminated for the same reason.

Full-time math teacher Michelle Heap’s contract also was not renewed.

Blanche said Heap is a first-year probationary teacher, and math enrollment is not currently high enough to continue her classes.

“Every year, we go through and do the sectioning based on course selections,” Blanche said after the meeting. “The math department is one where we’ve got a reduction of students taking classes.”

Blanche said Heap has “done a fine job for us,” and that she has recall

rights should additional math classes open up next year.

In other business, the board approved increasing registration fees for the 2016-17 school year.

Fees for full-time students will rise from $220 to $230, and fees for parttime students will rise from $110 to $115.

The board also accepted the retirements of Dean of Students Bernie Ruettiger and Building and Grounds Director Bob Van Dolson, both effective in 2020.

Peggy Babic’s position as a school nurse was increased from part time to full time; and Sandra Olmos was hired as a bus driver, with wages of $42 per bus run.

School board member Mike Brozovich was absent from Thursday’s meeting.

Joliet West High School teacher selected as Golden Apple finalist SHAW MEDIA JOLIET – Joliet West High School Director of Vocal Music Tim DeBoer recently was selected as one of 30 finalists for the Golden Apple Awards for Excellence in Teaching.

The finalists, selected from a pool of more than 400 nominations, represent high school teachers throughout the Chicago metropolitan area.

“I am humbled and excited to have been chosen as a Golden Apple finalist,” DeBoer said in a news release from the district. “I am grateful for the tremendously talented students in the choral program at Joliet West who make coming to work and making music a rewarding experience each and every day.”

Golden Apple annually recognizes outstanding teachers throughout Illinois. Created by founders Mike and Pat Koldyke, the Golden Apple Awards for Excellence in Teaching recognize and honor outstanding teachers for their role in building a stronger, better-educated society.

MINOOKA – The Minooka Community High School board approved Thursday several matters involving staff, including contracting with a consulting firm to support the district’s interim technology director.

The one-year, $39,000 technology support contract is with the consulting firm Solid State.

Board member Chris Kobe, who is on the board’s technology committee, said the firm has worked with the district in the past and has been giving support to new Interim Technology Director Jim Kelly since he took the position.

Solid State has essentially been working free the past several months, with phone support to Kelly, Kobe said.

Kelly was promoted to the position

in May 2015 to replace Technology Director Les Kern, who retired.

Kobe added that Kelly is doing a good job, and that the board felt it was a better alternative to hire a firm to help him learn more about the district’s network technology than to hire other staff.

“It’s better to do this than to hire another person,” Kobe said.

Chief School Business Official John Troy said there is quite a learning curve to network expertise and having the consulting firm as a backup that could assist quickly and efficiently was the best choice for the district.

The board also approved a reduction in force of three teachers. One was parttime music teacher Tyler White, who teaches guitar and instrumental music.

According to Superintendent Jim Blanche, the district cuts its part-time teachers each spring, then waits on

One year ago today We little knew that morning God was going to call your name.

In life we loved you dearly, In death we do the same.

It broke our hearts to lose you, You did not go alone.

For part of us went with you, The day God called you home.

You left us beautiful memories, Your love is still our guide, And though we cannot see you, You are always by our side.

Our family chain is broken, And nothing seems the same.

But as God calls us one by one, The chain will link again.

The ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHICAGO – In this city’s troubled history of police misconduct, Eric Caine’s case may be unrivaled: It took more than 25 years and $10 million to resolve.

For decades, he maintained he didn’t brutally kill an elderly couple.

The police, he said, beat him into a false confession. Locked up at age 20, he was freed at 46, bewildered by a world he no longer recognized. Caine ultimately was declared innocent, sued the city and settled for $10 million. But victory brought him little peace.

“They wouldn’t give anybody that large amount of money if they didn’t believe that person was wronged,” he said. “But I also look at it as a way for them to just want me to go away. ...

Nobody cares if I live or die.”

Caine is just one example of huge police settlements that have tarnished the city in recent years. Among them: A one-time death row inmate beaten by police: $6.1 million. An unarmed man fatally shot by an officer: $4.1 million.

And last year, the family of Laquan McDonald, the black teenager shot 16 times by a white officer, received $5 million. His death, captured in a shocking video, led to a murder charge against the officer, the police chief’s firing and thunderous street protests with calls for Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s resignation.

Chicago has paid a staggering sum – about $662 million – on police misconduct since 2004, including judgments, settlements and outside legal fees, according to city records. The payouts, for everything from petty harassment to police torture, have brought more financial misery to a city already drowning in billions of dollars of pension debt.

The Justice Department’s recent decision to investigate the Chicago police – fallout from the McDonald case – has helped focus new attention on this agonizing history of misconduct and the surprising lack of consequences.

Few officers accused of wrongdoing have been disciplined in recent years.

So how did the city get to the point where a massive misconduct bill has almost become routine? And why has

bad behavior gone unchecked?

Alderman Howard Brookins Jr. offers one explanation. “If you were seen going after police, you were seen as being for crime,” he said. “Nothing happened to the police officers even after they got a big judgment against them, so it appeared to be like Monopoly money.”

Lawyer Jon Loevy noticed the same pattern while winning more than a dozen seven-figure misconduct verdicts over the past decade. Jurors, he said, concluded “police did reprehensible things” – including framing people and shooting them without justification – but he knows of no case where those officers were punished.

“Not only was nobody disciplined, nobody was asked any questions,” he said. “It was just back to work.”

Few accusations ever reach the punishment stage, according to the Invisible Institute, a nonprofit journalism organization, and the University of Chicago Law School’s Mandel Legal Aid Clinic. They found that from March 2011 to September 2015, more than 28,500 complaints of misconduct were filed against Chicago police officers, but less than 2 percent resulted in discipline.

Both the police and the union representing rank-and-file officers said the numbers are misleading.

Dean Angelo, president of the union, said criminals routinely file frivolous complaints to harass and discourage police from pursuing them.

City officials also said many complaints are less serious – an improperly issued ticket, for instance. The police, in a statement to The Associated Press, said allegations of misconduct led to 45 firings and 28 suspensions from 2011 through 2015 in a department of about 12,000. Some cases remain open.

During that time, the city doled out tens of millions of dollars on misconduct claims. Only a small number are in the seven-figure range. Stephen Patton, corporation counsel, said his office has cut the number of outside lawyers, taken more cases to trial and since 2011, saved taxpayers at least $90 million by evaluating suits promptly and settling them, if appropriate.

GOP candidates taking aim at Common Core standards The ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON – Note to Republican presidential candidates: Congress passed, with broad bipartisan support, an education law that specifically says the federal government cannot push academic standards such as Common Core or give incentives to states that adopt them. On top of that, Common Core standards were established by state governors, not Washington.

So is the talk about killing Common Core just that – talk?

Of the three remaining GOP presidential candidates, only Ohio Gov. John Kasich supports the rigorous academic standards.

The others are vehement in their opposition.

“We’re getting rid of Common Core,” Donald Trump said during a debate in early John Kasich this month.

At the most recent debate, March 10 in Miami, he said: “I want local education. I want the parents, and I want all of the teachers, and I want everybody to get together around a school and to make education great.”

Donald Sen. Ted Cruz, too, is opposed to Common Core. He Trump has called the academic standards a “perverse” mandate.

At the Miami debate, he said, “Common Core is a disaster.

And if I am elected president, in the first days as president I will direct the Department of Education that Common Core Ted Cruz ends that day.”

What they fail to mention is Common Core began as a state-driven campaign to raise learning standards for the nation’s schoolchildren. Launched in 2009, the idea was to embrace learning goals by grade across all 50 states to make sure kids in Iowa were on track and receiving a quality education along with students in California, Maine and elsewhere – and to ensure that all students were prepared for life after high school, for college or a job.

It was a project of governors and state school chiefs.

Much of the backlash against Common Core began when the federal government, through its Race to the Top program, started giving education grants to states that adopted higher academic standards. That grant money has run its course, and the new education law bars future use of incentives for embracing

Sixth-grade students use a practice session Feb. 12, 2015, to prepare for the Common Core State Standards Test at Morgan Elementary School South in Stockport, Ohio. Republican presidential candidates are taking aim at Common Core, criticizing the academic standards as an overreach of the federal government. But Common Core was created by the states.

Common Core or any standards.

Even with Race to the Top, there was no federal mandate to adopt Common Core.

Chad Aldeman, an associate partner at Bellwether Education Partners, said this notion that the federal government “must stop” Common Core runs contrary to the long-held Republican position that governance of public schools is a state issue.

“It’s a little bit ironic that they’ve been sounding the alarm about federal control and now the leading Republican presidential candidates all want to take federal action against a state initiative,” Aldeman said in an interview. “There’s really nothing that they could do to stop Common Core other than using the bully pulpit to try to convince states to back out of their own commitments.”

Trump has acknowledged that Common Core was set up by the states. “But it has all been taken over now by the bureaucrats in Washington, and they are not interested in what’s happening in Miami or in Florida, in many cases,” he said.

Without referring to Common Core by its name, Kasich made clear at the Miami debate that he’s in favor of “high standards” for Ohio.

“In our state, the state school board sets the standards.”

The education law passed Congress in December with overwhelming support from both parties and was quickly signed by President Barack Obama. The law revamps the widely criticized No Child Left Behind Act and substantially limits the federal government’s role in public schools, including its powers to push academic standards. Cruz missed the vote in the Senate on the bill.

“Republicans are campaigning on outdated talking points,” Bellwether’s Aldeman said.

Why are police at political rallies – and who pays for them?

The scene was violent and chaotic: Protesters being forcibly removed from a rally for Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump. The image reinforced a common complaint that police can be callous toward the free-speech rights of demonstrators when seeking to preserve order. Some questions and answers about rules and procedures for police at political events:

Q. Who pays for police to be there, taxpayers or event organizers?

A. It depends. As part of the per-

side and outside the event. Any such

Q. How do police show enough force sufficient to maintain calm without becoming a provocation?

A. When violence broke out in

Ferguson, Missouri, in 2014, blame fell on police for deploying armored vehicles and tear gas and using them aggressively against protesters. Law enforcement experts said officers must walk a fine line to appear in control without appearing threatening.

“That’s a very difficult judgment area,” said Ben Tisa, an ex-Marine and retired FBI agent and now a consultant on police policy, procedures and practices.

Some officers might be in uniform, while others are in plain clothes to blend in. Conflicting protesters may have to be kept separated. And some demonstrators come with the full intention of getting arrested, Tisa said.

Q. Can localities recover any costs of providing protection for political rallies?

A. They can try, but it’s not easy.

A county in Virginia billed the 2012 presidential campaigns more than $180,000 for providing police for security on a visit by New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani. The state GOP reimbursed them just less than $2,000, leaving the rest unreimbursed.

Henrico Police Chief Douglas Middleton told the Richmond Times-Dispatch, “I can’t make them pay it, but I want them to be aware that it’s not free for you to come here. Somebody pays for it. It’s either you or the taxpayers.”

The Co-op Chillers from the Grundy County Special Education Cooperative in Morris brought 32 team members dressed as hippies and in T-shirts that said “Peace, Love, Plunge” to dive in the chilly water to support the children they teach each day through the co-op.

Although the weather was cloudy and 45 degrees, the participants were in happy spirits, chanting and laughing. Each wave got into the water gingerly and then dove in to make the trek to the Troy Fire Protection District dive team members who waited in the water at the halfway mark, before turning around.

mitting process, local officials, the venue and event organizers discuss the event and its logistics, and decide what kind of security is needed.

What’s the expected crowd size? Is there a record of violence or disruptions at similar events?

Sometimes authorities decide it’s necessary for event organizers to provide private security. Sometimes authorities agree to supplement that with police. Sometimes the private security detail consists of off-duty officers who are paid by the organizers or the venue, but retain their normal police powers. Sometimes, it’s private security without arrest power supplemented by police on their regular shifts.

Dear Mr. Berko: My first question isn’t about stocks. Why have college costs nearly tripled since 2000? My brother, a chemistry professor, earned $71,000 in 2010, and last year he made $74,000. Even though more students are attending classes, salaries are not increasing because so many college courses are now online.

As far as investing goes, I own 200 shares of Netflix, an investment I bought at $126 a share last August.

Should I sell it or buy another 200 shares, which now trade at $98? – JK, Minneapolis Dear JK: Online courses are like

taking a shower with your clothes on – a cheap, pathetic substitute for live classes that shortchanges students and debases the education process.

Since 2010, according to The Huffington Post, more than $10.3 billion has been spent by public universities to boost failing sports programs. The American Association of University Professors released a study in 2014 demonstrating that athletic spending between 2004 and 2011 increased by 25 percent at public colleges. And several weeks ago, a participant in that AAUP study told me that percentage would

TAKING STOCK Malcolm Berko rise to 47 if the years 2012 through 2015 were included.

The study also showed that NCAA Division I schools increased football head coaches’ salaries by 93 percent between 2006 and 2012. There are 1,066 schools in the NCAA, and 345 are Division I schools. In those years, median pay for professors rose 3.7 percent, which speaks volumes about America’s perception of education.

Football and basketball are indubitably and incontrovertibly more important to schools than academics. The University of Illinois recently hired a new football coach with a $21 million contract. And the state of Illinois is close to bankruptcy because of its $85 billion unfunded pension liability. In most states, the highest-paid employee is a head coach.

The University of Alabama’s Nick Saban makes $6.9 million, while endorsements and speaking engagements add $4 million to his income.

Last year, Saban’s Crimson Tide returned $33 million to the university.

However, if Alabama applied the same accounting principles used by corporate America, that amount would be in the minus column.

In 2014, only 20 of the 130 NCAA football programs in the top subdivision had “a positive operating margin.” The average loss was $17.6 million per school – and perhaps higher because operating margins refer only to variable costs and don’t include fixed costs. The profligacy continues because universities hijack funds from other departments when athletic coaches exceed their budgets.

According to USA Today, student fees at Old Dominion University fund 65 percent of the school’s athletic budget.

If other athletic programs are included (curling, track, volleyball, golf, shuffleboard, gymnastics, etc.), then the Pacific-12, the Big 12, the SEC et al. spend about $136,000 an athlete, while academic spending is less than $14,000 a student. Universities care more about getting bigger and less about getting better, and the students get shafted in the job market.

Netflix (NFLX-$98) is not an “investment”; it’s a bloody rank speculation.

In 2015, NFLX earned 28 cents a share, and no company on earth is worth 375 times earnings. That’s insane. NFLX “may” earn $1 a share in 2016, but even that would be 102 times earnings.

The mean target price from Thomson First Call (consensus of 41 stockbrokers) is $125, or only 1 point below your basis, but NFLX’s 1.8 percent profit margins stink. Earnings growth, year over year, was down 48 percent for the most recent quarter, and trailing operating cash flow was minus $749 million. Last July, institutions reduced their positions by 9 percent, and NFLX’s board member Jay Hoag sold 2 million shares.

I believe we’re looking at a more conservatively valued market, and high-flying issues with high price-earnings ratios have less appeal.

NFLX may move higher, but the downside risk is greater than the upside gain. Sell!

OUR VIEW

Let sun shine on officials, politicians, information Sunshine Week is a national initiative to “promote a dialogue about the importance of open government and freedom of information.”

Here in Illinois, it goes without saying there is never a shortage of motivation for the public to keep government on its toes – or a shortage of government units to shine the light on. As important as it is for journalists to play a leading role in holding public officials accountable, community members should realize they also can access a treasure trove of public information.

Transparency in government always has been important, but these days, in Illinois, it’s vital. The state’s fiscal problems have filtered down to local governments. There are far too many examples of government hiding public information from the public.

The website sunshineweek.org lists multiple ways individuals and groups can seek transparency from elected officials and “demystify” public records by locating databases of useful information, much of which is available online.

Government officials do not need to take an adversarial posture when it comes to transparency. By embracing laws about open meetings and records, they can engender trust with the public that will strengthen communitywide relationships and might earn them the benefit of the doubt if an honest mistake arises.

Officials sometimes grumble when Freedom of Information Act requests are submitted, unhappy about the time and effort it takes to comply. In too many cases, they look for excuses for why they do not need to adhere to them because they would prefer the public remain uninformed about how money is spent or why decisions are made. The momentary inconvenience of supplying public information to the news media or public, however, must not trump the greater good.

It is the law for those in power to share public records. Public officials need to know they are being watched or corruption may take root. Let’s rededicate ourselves to making sure that does not happen on our watch.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

The fat lady still hasn’t sung yet The old saying, “It’s not over until the fat lady sings,” is true for both the Democrats and the Republicans. A quick look at the state of the races will clearly show that the fat lady hasn’t even arrived at the building yet.

There is gripping drama in the Democratic race. Hillary Clinton is a galloping pacesetter, several strides ahead of Sen. Bernie Sanders. Clinton increased her delegate lead by 40 percent last week.

If she continues to win by the percentages she’s racking up, Clinton will enter the convention a stretch runner and a closer, needing only a few score delegates to cross the finish line.

It’s not enough for Sanders to win – he has to win big. Sanders had several near-wins in Iowa, Missouri and Illinois. And while these photo finishes make good news copy, the “proportional rule” means Sanders split the votes with Clinton, effectively making those races a wash in delegate gains.

To get the nomination, Sanders

VIEWS Donna Brazile has to take most of the remaining primaries by an average of 60 to 66 percent of the votes.

Coming up are five Western state caucuses (Utah, Idaho, Alaska, Washington and Hawaii), plus the Arizona primary where voter makeup favors Sanders’ populist message. Here, Sanders has the promise of closing the gap by several strides. Yet, as mentioned, Sanders needs not just wins, but big wins, to catch Clinton.

In the primary states that follow the Western caucuses – namely New York, Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania and Rhode Island – Clinton will hit her home stretch stride.

These are the kinds of states in which Sanders said Clinton couldn’t compete well, but she just won in states like these with

her victories in Illinois and Ohio.

She also won a narrow victory in Massachusetts.

Clinton and Sanders, politically, are like heart lockets, split in half, yet fitting perfectly when together. Like steel on steel, they sharpen one another. And like split heart lockets, they need each other’s supporters to be a whole.

Each one has hold of an important constituency of the Democratic Party. By themselves, without the other’s supporters, it will be difficult to win in November.

Their debates are healthy. Both have honed their campaign skills, and each has better defined, tested and strengthened their positions.

Most important is their mutual conviction that more jobs are needed, and that diversity and compromise are essential to bring that about.

The landscape on the Republican side is dominated by Donald Trump.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Time for action on state budget

To the Editor: Somehow one gets the idea that the Illinois Legislature and Democratic majority believe the primary and general election will sort things out and the budget problem will go away. We hear the same refrain, wait until the next election.

The problems are obvious: The budget is way out of balance, revenues are way short of what is needed to cover union contracts, pension obligations, programs such as social services, education, law enforcement and courts. This is not a mystery, taxes need to go up, programs and benefits need to go down.

Since the Democrats wish to protect unions and pensions, funding for education and social services need large cuts. Just to keep programs at current levels taxes need to go way up.

It is not as if the wealthy receive large benefits from the state other than education and their support can be reduced. It’s time for the legislative Democrats to make choices and take action! Where is the leadership?

Sincerely,

• BRAZILE

presidential candidates acknowledging the reality of climate change in recent debates, the political winds are clearly shifting. The numbers show why. The U.S. Department of Labor and the Bureau of Labor Statistics have shown that renewable green sources create more jobs than non-renewables. When last tallied in 2011, there were 3.4 million green jobs in the United States, and those numbers are only rising.

On the other hand, there were less than 150,000 jobs in coal in the same year, and less than 950,000 when gas and oil were included.

The U.S. Department of Energy predicts there will be over 500,000 jobs in wind by 2030. We need to invest locally in sustainable green jobs, because that’s where the energy industry is growing fastest.

I urge our local leaders keep these trends in mind, and seek ways for Joliet’s citizens to benefit from the national transition to green energy.

In Trump’s book, “The Art of the Deal,” he says the following about publicity: “Good publicity is preferable to bad, but from a bottom-line perspective, bad publicity is sometimes better than no publicity at all.

Controversy, in short, sells.”

Trump has dominated the Republican race by exploiting controversy. He’s all but used the independent media as his own publicity agents. Trump embraces bad publicity for the sake of attention and domination.

Being a bad boy has gotten him this far.

But Donald Trump is nowhere as close as Hillary Clinton is in leading the pack.

Trump has created a myth – selling the sizzle rather than the steak – that he’s always a winner.

Yet, Trump lost his very first primary, in Iowa, and fell short of a grand slam in both Super Tuesdays. The truth is that Trump underperformed in the second Super Tuesday voter sweepstakes. Kasich’s win in Ohio has made this a jockey’s race, where the outcome is determined by the rider’s strategic decisions rather than hoof power.

Despite Trump’s hyperbolic assertion, “If we win Florida, it’s over; if we win Ohio, it’s really over,” the fat lady is even farther from the stage in the Republican race. There’s even a chance that her performance will be canceled.

It’s gobsmacking irony that the author of “The Art of the Deal” is twitching his nose like a frightened rabbit at the reality that he might have to make a few deals to win the nomination. Trump loves playing the victim, such as when he says that if he has the most delegates, he must automatically win – or there will be rioting.

He’s embracing bad publicity. Maybe Trump will riot in his penthouse suite, but that will be about it. Not even Trump has enough money to pay the legal fees for a riot.

Ronald Reagan lost a brokered convention to Gerald Ford in 1976. Sorry, Donald, you win by crossing the finish line, not by giving it to the lead horse at the three-quarters turn.

The convention is the voice of the people in all their groupings. If no candidate has the delegates to win on the first ballot, then all delegates are released to vote their consciences.

If Trump wants to win, he must keep his delegates, and persuade delegates pledged to Cruz, Rubio, Kasich and others.

There is no “Stop Trump” conspiracy; that’s merely more Trump-inspired media hype. Yes, a few super PACs are trying to slow his roll. And there are pro-Kasich and pro-Cruz movements, and it’s fair game for them to do all they can within the rules to win. One would expect that the author of “The Art of the Deal” would do no less. In the meantime, the fat lady can continue warming up her vocal chords.

44 IHSA CLASS 3A BOYS BASKETBALL CHAMPIONSHIP: ALTHOFF CATHOLIC 62, LINCOLN-WAY WEST 37

The magic ends for Lincoln-Way West Warriors fall to powerful Althoff Catholic in Class 3A championship

By DICK GOSS and CURT HERRON dgoss@shawmedia.com cherron@shawmedia.com

PEORIA – Throughout the postseason, the Lincoln-Way West boys basketball team found ways to recover from adversity.

That’s why the Warriors surprised the state with their presence in Saturday afternoon’s Class 3A state championship game against Althoff Catholic at the Peoria Civic Center.

This one was different, however. For the final three quarters, the magic was missing. Althoff outscored West, 22-8, in the second quarter to lead 32-20 at halftime en route to a 62-37 victory.

That’s how the first journey to a boys basketball state championship game for any Lincoln-Way school ended.

Both teams got off to sluggish starts but recovered offensively in the latter stages of a first quarter that ended with West (22-10) on top, 12-10. After Cam Gavin drove to the bucket to open the second quarter and extend the Warriors’ lead to 14-10, however, things began to unravel.

Althoff (32-2) went on a 7-0 run to lead 17-14. Marco Pettinato, who, like Gavin, scored 10 points, took a long pass on an inbounds breakout and laid it in to make it 17-16. But the Crusaders were just getting warmed up. They outscored West, 15-4, over the rest of the half to complete a 22-6 burst that put the Warriors in a deep hole.

Not that they haven’t been behind before on the tournament trail, but this time, they could not muster the offensive production to get back in it.

“We went out in the first quarter and slowed the ball down like we wanted,” said West senior forward Jon Marotta, who scored eight points. “We were getting good shots.

“But then to see them start scoring on our defensive end, that kind of let us down on the offensive end. Once they started knocking down shots and they got on a run, our confidence went down a little.”

After Pettinato scored from inside to open the second half to make it 32-22, Althoff took complete control. The Crusaders blew it open to 42-24 after three quarters and 51-26 with 5:28 left as the Warriors went into a desperation mode, and it did not work out.

“One of our points of emphasis was to hit the glass and limit them in transition. They got up and down the floor against us.

As for the rebounding disparity, they’re a really athletic team.

They were able to force their way in to get the ball.”

Brian Flaherty

Lincoln-Way West boys basketball coach “I looked the guys in the guys in the eye when we were down 12 at halftime, and I said, ‘Morgan Park 11,’ ” Pettinato said, referencing the Warriors’ largest deficit against the highly regarded Mustangs in the Joliet Central Supersectional.

“The guys in our locker room knew what that means. We all knew what to do. We felt we still had a chance until it got be about 20 that we were down.

Then we kind of said that this one slipped away.”

West had difficulties shooting, hitting 14 of 46 for 30.4 percent. That included 4 of 25 from 3-point range, and two of the made threes – by Jay Bu stead and Nolan Green – came well after the issue was decided.

Even more telling, perhaps, was the Photos by Eric Ginnard – eginnard@shawmedia.com rebounding.

BELOW: Lincoln Crusaders had nearly twice as many Way West’s Cameron Gavin lunges for a loose pass. offensive boards as the Warriors had defensive rebounds. Althoff finished with 16 offensive boards.

“When you have guys like we have, guys who can score a lot and could be leading scorers in a lot of programs, I told them they can be glutinous and go get everything they can on the offensive boards,” Althoff coach Greg Leib said. “And on the defensive boards, whenever they (Warriors) missed a shot, I think I remember about five possessions where we did not get the ball back.”

“One of our points of emphasis was to hit the glass and limit them in transition,” West coach Brian Flaherty said. “They got up and down the floor against us. As for the rebounding disparity, they’re a really athletic team.

Friends and family console the Warriors on Saturday after the Class 3A Boys Basketball Championship in Peoria. The Warriors fell to the Crusaders, 62-37.

• CHAMPIONSHIP

Continued from page 44 points and 10 rebounds, five on each end of the floor. He also guarded Pettinato, who displayed why he is very difficult to guard around the basket.

“That was the best matchup against me all season,” Pettinato said. “Goodwin is me in a nutshell, but a couple inches taller. I’ve seen him a lot, in AAU and everything, and I knew he was good. I wasn’t sure if he was going to guard me 100 percent, though.

“He was very good, and I made some mistakes. I know I dribbled into a trap a couple of times.”

Pettinato had five rebounds, one less than Gavin’s six. Gavin also had four assists and three steals. But against Althoff on this day, it was not nearly enough.

“I feel like all the Catholic teams are tough like they were,” Gavin said.

SEMIFINAL

West advanced to the championship game with a thrilling 45-41 semifinal victory over Peoria Manual, which claimed third place Saturday with a 56-55 overtime win over St. Joseph.

West trailed Manual by six points early in the fourth quarter but held the sixth-ranked Rams scoreless for the final 4:38 and used a late 6-0 spurt to put the game away.

Things weren’t looking real good for the Warriors after the Rams (27-5) went up 39-33 with 6:49 remaining. But West responded with 3-pointers from Marotta (13 points, 13 rebounds, four assists) and Jay Bumstead (nine points) to force a tie at 39 with 5:47 left.

“Throughout this playoff run we’ve been down,” Marotta said. “We all believe in each other and have the grit and confidence to come back and knock down shots and make stops on the defensive end.”

Manual scored its final points with 4:38 to go when AJ Youngman hit a layup to make it, 41-39. But Gavin (four points, three assists) responded with a jumper for his first points with 3:32 remaining to create the last of 10 ties.

Gavin’s next basket put his team in front for good. That came on a layup with 1:22 left to make it 43-41. With 24 seconds to go, Marotta found Nolan Green (seven points), who put in a layup to complete the scoring.

“I just knew that my team needed me to make a big shot down the stretch,” Gavin said. “I wasn’t really involved on the offensive end so when I made the shot, I knew the team would be confident.”

West’s 1-3-1 zone defense confounded the Rams, who hit 17 of 44 shot from the floor (.386) and 1 of 14 from beyond the 3-point line. As has been the case through its playoff run, West was efficient from the field, shooting .500 on 18 of 36.

The Warriors also received 12 points, seven rebounds and three assists from Marco Pettinato.

“It’s one of those things that feels unreal to think that tomorrow we’re going to walk on that floor and play for a firstplace trophy after the short history of the school,” Pettinato said. “This is our seventh year and with the struggles that we faced early on and to see where we’ve come in such a short period of time is really surreal.”

The Rams led early, 12-6, but West closed the gap to 14-12 after the first quarter. The Warriors held a pair of late leads in the second quarter before Manual forced a tie at 23 at the break.

Manual owned a pair of four-point leads in the third quarter but West answered to tie things on both occasions.

The Rams kicked off a 6-0 run to close that quarter when Youngman hit a jumper with 57 seconds left for a 35-33 lead heading into the final eight minutes.

West’s run highlights successful season VIEWS Dick Goss

Last fall, coach Dave Ernst’s Lincoln-Way West football team played in a state championship game, a first for the school.

It did not turn out as planned as Nazareth dominated. Still, that did nothing to diminish what West had accomplished and set a shining example for future Warriors’ teams.

On Saturday afternoon at the Peoria Civic Center, coach Brian Flaherty’s boys basketball team put his Warriors on the court against No. 1-ranked Althoff Catholic in the Class 3A state championship game.

That marked the first visit to a boys basketball state title game for any Lincoln-Way school.

Althoff blew the game open beginning in the second quarter and won, 62-37. It was not the way it was supposed to happen, but as with football, the outcome does nothing to diminish what West accomplished.

“This was a tough game,” Flaherty said. “It was a disappointing end to

one of the greatest runs I have ever been part of. I can’t thank our seniors enough for what they did. This game does not diminish what we were able to accomplish the last few weeks.”

The Warriors beat Hillcrest in the sectional final, which they finished on an 11-0 run after trailing by six points with 1:24 left. They beat Morgan Park after trailing the Mustangs by 11 points in the first half of the Joliet Central Supersectional. And in Friday’s state semifinals, they knocked off hometown favorite, Manual High School, 45-41.

“This was a huge accomplishment,” Flaherty said. “It’s a credit to our kids.

When I took over as coach two years ago, I walked into the gym and said, ‘There are some talented players here.’

“Our kids are good players and high-character kids. Coaching them is the easiest thing. These kids competed, and they took to coaching well. I thought, ‘The sky’s the limit for them.’ ” It nearly was. The only problem was the basketball gods had other plans for the finale.

“The run has been awesome,” senior forward Jon Marotta said. “To see the program turned around from

when there were single-digit wins was special. We had a good group. We’ve been playing together for a long time.”

Early on, it was evident this could be a good season for Joliet area boys basketball. We were not necessarily thinking in terms of having a team vying for a state championship, which has been a rarity for our area, but there were plenty of quality teams.

We knew Joliet West could be excellent. And Minooka, Joliet Catholic, Plainfield North, Lincoln-Way West, Lincoln-Way Central (which beat Lincoln-Way West twice), Joliet Central, Lemont and Bolingbrook all could pile up victories.

Joliet West came out of the Class 4A Lockport Sectional and lost to Benet, 67-59, in the NIU Supersectional largely because the Redwings were on top of their game that night.

In case you missed it, Benet beat Simeon, 49-48, in Friday night’s semifinals and met Curie for title Saturday night.

In Class 3A, think back to the Lincoln-Way West Regional. The Warriors were the No. 3 seed in Subsectional A of the Streator Sectional, while JCA was No. 2. The Hilltoppers lost to Providence in the regional semifinals,

while West beat Rich East and then got past Providence in the regional final.

My thought before the regional was that either Providence, JCA and West would win it. The Celtics were included because they had finished the season on such a high note. If there was an advantage for the Warriors, it was that they would not have to beat both JCA and Providence to advance.

And look what happened from there. Hillcrest, Morgan Park and Manual all fell victim to the West magic. The Warriors belonged in the state championship game.

They made this season a smashing success not just for themselves, but for the area.

“I’m proud of this team,” Flaherty said. “We weren’t playing well at one time (the Warriors had a 10-8 record at that point), then to finish like this, firing on all cylinder with the exception of this game, that does raise our expectations for the future.”

Well done, Warriors. Your season, how you accomplished what many would have deemed impossible, will not soon be forgotten.

Lincoln-Way West’s Nolan Green drives the ball through Belleville Althoff’s defense Saturday during the Class 3A boys basketball championship in Peoria. The Warriors fell to the Crusaders, 62-37.

Warriors can’t add more history to memorable season PEORIA – There is a pretty good reason why only four unranked teams have upset No. 1 squads in the IHSA boys basketball tournament during the past 72 years.

And that’s because teams that are regarded as the state’s best are usually loaded with talented players who have demonstrated a high-level of play throughout a campaign while an unranked squad usually made a nice tournament run after putting things together.

Althoff Catholic demonstrated why it was the state’s top-ranked Class 3A squad after it defeated upstart Lincoln-Way West 62-37 in Saturday’s Class 3A title game at the Peoria Civic Center to capture its first boys basketball championship.

The Warriors, who had won 12 of their last 13 games since getting off to a 10-8 start, were hoping to cap a memorable run in which they not only captured their first sectional championship but also advanced to state for the initial time and reached the title game.

VIEWS Curt Herron After executing very well in upset wins over Hillcrest, Morgan Park and Manual to reach the title game, the Warriors met their match against a Crusaders squad that they admitted was the most-talented one that they had faced all season.

Althoff was effective with both inside and outside shots and also did a nice job of disrupting West’s offense while owning a big rebounding advantage. That combination helped turn a 12-10 Warrior lead after one quarter into a 42-24 Crusader cushion with eight minutes left.

While West was inspired to finish with a win to cap one of the more-memorable playoff runs in state history, Althoff had even better motivation.

The Crusaders lost last year’s Class 3A finals to St. Joseph, who they beat in Friday’s semifinals. Thanks to its two

wins this weekend, Althoff becomes one of just six teams in state history to win a title a year after losing in the finals.

Players on both teams also had a little extra incentive that had nothing to do with basketball, which was that both schools suffered losses in state football championship games last fall.

While Cam Gavin, Nolan Green and Cal Pohrte were on West’s Class 5A runner-up team, the Crusaders had nine players who were starters on their Class 4A finalists.

It’s believed only five other schools had finalists in both sports prior to this season. But there had never been more than one a year and certainly none had ever met for a title.

While coach Brian Flaherty’s Warriors can proudly claim to become Will County’s initial finalists in the sport since Providence’s 1979 squad claimed a Class A championship, they also were hoping to pull off a few more historic accomplishments in their final contest.

West was looking to become just the fifth champion with nine or more loss-

es in a season. A title would have not only been the first won by its school in any sport but would also have been the first captured by a Will County large school team since Lockport’s unbeaten 1978 squad.

History is believed to have been made in the finals by Flaherty as he joined his father Mike as the first father-son combination to coach in state championship games. Mike’s Mendel Catholic squad ended Quincy’s then-record 64-game winning streak in the 1982 Class AA semifinals before falling to East St. Louis Lincoln in the title game.

While Jon Marotta, Erik Christensen and Gavin all graduate from this historic squad, the Warriors will return leading-scorer Marco Pettinato, along with Jay Bumstead, Green and Pohrte, which should give their fans plenty of optimism to witness more history next year.

48 PLAINFIELD EAST SOFTBALL PREVIEW

Plainfield East goal to improve on daily basis

By DENNIS NELSON

Shaw Media Correspondent PLAINFIELD – Success is predicated on more than wins and losses. Plainfield East coach Chris Morris is a firm believer in that.

It’s measured by improvement with each game and, ultimately, state-tournament awards. Plainfield East went 22-10 a year ago and won the school’s second regional plaque.

“I really don’t equate (success) with wins and losses,” Morris said. “I want us to have fun, compete every day and get better.”

What will the Bengals do for an encore?

“We’ve got a great group of girls with good attitudes and we’re hoping to get better as the season wears on,” Morris said. “I think we’ll be competitive.”

Plainfield East returns five regulars from a year ago and includes six freshmen and sophomores on the roster.

“We have two freshman and four sophomores on the varsity who can play,” Morris said. “We have holes we have to fill from last year and the good thing is, we have a lot of competition for different spots. That will help us be suc-

Also assisting the Bengals will be the returnees – junior third baseman Peyton Loesch, junior shortstop Hannah Kalnicky, junior pitcher Bianca Vozenilek, senior first baseman Mikey Sinnott and sophomore outfielder Amberly Rodriguez.

“We have a decent amount of girls who have been on the varsity for quite a while,” Morris said. “We’re going to look to them for leadership and solid play.”

Sinnott led the Bengals in hitting (.427) and RBIs (28) in 2015. Kalnicky hit .398 with 25 RBIs and 33 runs scored,

which was second on the squad. She struck out only eight times in 129 plate appearances. Loesch and Vozenilek also were among the team leaders in RBIs with 25 and 24, respectively.

Vozenilek will log the bulk of the innings in the circle for the Bengals. She went 12-5 with 206 strikeouts in 176 2/3 innings last season. Senior Makayla Witt and sophomore Gina Followell also will see some innings, according to Morris.

“Bianca will shoulder a big part of the load like last year,” Morris said.

“Expectations are really high, and we’re putting in a lot of hard work to see it pay off later,” Vozenilek said. “Our strength is going to be our chemistry.

We have some underclassmen coming up who are going to help us.”

They include sophomores Rodriguez, Followell, Brynn Hagadus and Callie Dutton and freshmen Bella Battaglia and Lauren Urbanski.

“We have a lot of new girls coming up this year,” Kalnicky said. “That’s going to help us build off last year. I hope we can come together as a team. We need to work together and become a team.”

Senior Paige Guerrero and Dutton will see action behind the plate.

“We’re going to move people in and out and in the middle of games, especially early on,” Morris said. “We’re going to have a set plan so everybody can get reps to see if anybody can take over some spots.”

They include juniors Jenna Meyers, Gabby Hoffman and Melissa Mazurkiewicz and seniors Mia De La Rosa, Grace Howe and Stephanie Matheu.

“There are six or seven kids that play two or three positions,” Morris said.

“That’s good for us overall. We have a lot of versatility and the most athletic group we’ve had, overall, as a team. We’re going to be able to do some different things because of that.”

“We’re hoping to go as far as we can and push each other as a team,” Vozenilek said.

In the Southwest Prairie Conference, perennial contenders Plainfield Central and Minooka appear to be the teams to beat.

“Central and Minooka are going to be good, again,” Morris said. “Every year, our league is tougher and tougher. Any given day, anybody can be beat anybody.

It’s going to be a battle. If you lose two or three games in conference, you could still be in the thick of things at the end.”

And now they are headed back to the Sweet 16.

Malcolm Brogdon scored 22 points and Virginia used some hot shooting to beat Butler 77-69 on Saturday in the second round of the NCAA Tournament.

“We played a very tough team tonight, but we were really tough,” Brogdon said. “It was a battle of wills, and I think we imposed our will a little bit more towards the end.”

Anthony Gill added 17 points and Marial Shayok finished with 12 for the top-seeded Cavaliers (28-7), who grinded out the victory after going to a four-guard lineup.

Iowa State 78, Little Rock 61: At Denver, Georges Niang is going back to the Sweet 16, and this time he won’t be in a walking boot.

The senior forward’s dominant performance helped Iowa State roll over Little Rock 78-61 on Saturday in the second round of the NCAA Tournament.

“Yeah, he’s a pro,” Little Rock coach Chris Beard said. “He’s going to play on TNT. I think he’ll play in the NBA.” His college career will last at least another week.

“This is sweet,” said Niang, revealing that teammate Naz Long razzed him before the game, suggesting he “didn’t earn the last Sweet 16 you were in” after breaking his right foot in the opening round his sophomore

season.

“I made sure to tell him I earned this one,” said Niang, who scored 28 points for the second time in three nights and pulled down six defensive rebounds while helping keep Trojans guard Josh Hagins from another second-half scoring outburst like he had against Purdue.

Matt Thomas chipped in 16 points for Iowa State, which led 40-28 at halftime.

Kansas 73, Connecticut 61: At Des Moines, Iowa, Wayne Selden Jr. and Perry Ellis carried Kansas on a sweet romp to the round of 16, combining for 43 points in a 73-61 victory by the Jayhawks over Connecticut in the second round on Saturday to hand Kevin Ollie his first NCAA Tournament loss as head coach of the Huskies.

Selden had 22 points and seven rebounds, Ellis scored 21 points and grabbed eight rebounds and the No. 1 overall seed Jayhawks (32-4) advanced to the South Region semifinals on Thursday in Louisville, Kentucky, to play the winner of the Hawaii-Maryland game on Sunday.

Selden and Ellis combined to shoot 17 for 27 from the floor, shooing away the disappointment of second-round defeats in each of the last two years.

Sterling Gibbs had 20 points for the No. 9 seed Huskies (25-11), who fell into an irreparable deficit that reached 24 points in the first half.

DES MOINES, Iowa – Kentucky had the stars. But Indiana had more toughness – and that’s why the Hoosiers are headed back to the Sweet 16.

Freshman Thomas Bryant scored 15 of his 19 points in the final eight minutes, Yogi Ferrell had 18 and fifth-seeded Indiana beat Kentucky 73-67 Saturday to earn a spot in the regional semifinals in Philadelphia.

The Hoosiers (27-7) are back in the Sweet 16 for the first time since 2013 despite losing starting guard Robert Johnson to an apparent left ankle injury late in the first half.

“When you get into an environment like this, with everything on the line that’s on it and the time of year, it’s obviously a great feeling when you walk out with a win knowing that they put everything into it under adverse situations,” Indiana coach Tom Crean said.

Indiana took control with a 17-4 run to go up 10 with four minutes left.

Tyler Ulis and Alex Poythress pulled Kentucky within 69-67 on free throws, but Bryant hit two from the line with 10 seconds to go to seal the win.

Ulis scored 27 points for Kentucky (27-9), which suffered its earliest NCAA Tournament exit since 2008 – when it lost to a Marquette tea,m then led by Crean.

Jamal Murray added 16 for the Wildcats, but he was just 1 of 9 on 3s.

“These kids aren’t machines.

They’re no computers. Stuff happens and you try to figure it out,” Kentucky coach John Calipari said. “What I don’t want to do is take away from what Indiana did. Indiana played every kid on that court, gave everything they had and they deserved to win this game.”

Indiana went on a 9-2 run with Ferrell on the bench after he picked up his third foul. Ferrell quickly went back in, and the Hoosiers pushed their lead to 62-52 on a Bryant dunk.

“I had to just stay on the attack.

Coach (Crean) told me he wanted me to attack more and get a quick bucket down on the block when I can. He believed in me. I just went with the coach’s plan,” Bryant said.

Virginia 77, Butler 69: At Raleigh, N.C., the Virginia Cavaliers refused to let Butler beat them at their own game.

With an offense operating with chilling efficiency in the second half and a defense that was suffocating when it needed to be, the top-seeded Cavaliers found ways to do what they

against Miami coach Jim Larranaga.

Maybe it was Sheldon McClellan repeatedly yelling in the huddle: “We’re not losing this game.”

Whatever it was, Angel Rodriguez made sure the Hurricanes would play another day.

The smallest guy on the court, Rodriguez played large on Saturday.

He took over after Miami blew the 21-point lead that he pretty much had created, hitting a big 3-pointer with 72 seconds remaining and scoring 28 points to lead the third-seeded Hurricanes over Wichita State 65-57 on Saturday to advance to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament.

“There was a lot on the line. Obviously, everybody wants to advance,” said Rodriguez, who was 9 for 11 shooting and had five assists and four steals. “I just felt good. I had a really good energy about the team, not about me.”

The Hurricanes (27-7) will play either Iowa or Villanova next weekend in Louisville in the South Region semifinals.

Miami looked like the best defensive team around, building its big lead at the outset and went into the locker room at halftime with a 32-19 edge.

Duke 71, Yale 64: In Providence, R.I., in a battle of brainy schools, Duke nearly got a tough lesson from Ivy League champion Yale.

After cruising early, the Blue Devils needed some of their most clutch moments in a season which they have often felt as if they were on the brink of disaster to avoid becoming the NCAA Tournament’s latest upset victim.

Grayson Allen had 29 points, including five 3-pointers, to help Duke fend off a furious rally by Yale and advanced to the Sweet 16 with a 71-64 victory on Saturday.

“Our house is on a cliff, and we hope it doesn’t rain,” coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “That’s who we’ve been. And so I really have an appreciation for that.”

Gonzaga 82, Utah 59: In Denver, Gonzaga, looking like something much different than an 11 seed, rolled over No. 3 Utah on Saturday, 82-59 behind 22 points from Eric McClellan and a 19-point, 10-rebound effort from Domantas Sabonis.

This was a wire-to-wire effort even more impressive than their 16-point win over Seton Hall in the first round.

Next up for the Zags (28-7), a game against Syracuse or Middle Tennessee in the Midwest Regional.

FONTANA, Calif. – Austin Dillon passed Kyle Busch and Daniel Suarez on the final lap and surged to an improbable victory in the Xfinity Series race on Saturday.

Busch got within two miles of his record-tying fourth consecutive Xfinity win after leading 133 of the 150 laps, but the defending Sprint Cup Series champ got a flat tire while attempting to save fuel.

Suarez briefly went in front while Busch attempted to keep racing on the sparking flat wheel.

But when Suarez ran out of gas, Dillon roared up and stole his seventh career victory in his Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet.

Thinking outside the wood duck box

Will County TUFF Hunters offers free outdoor activities

If you go WHAT: Will County TUFF Hunters banquet WHEN: 5 to 10 p.m. April 23 WHERE: Knights of Columbus, 100 S. 129th Infantry Drive, Joliet ETC: Dinner, raffles, door prizes, live auction, silent auction, photo booth, music CALL: Jim Smith at 815-341-4001.

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

JOLIET – Give ’em a tackle box, not an Xbox.

That’s the motto of Will County TUFF Hunters, said Jim “Smitty” Smith of Morris, one of the volunteers for the nonprofit whose mission is to get kids outside. A fundraising banquet is planned for April 23. All activities are free, including fishing derbies.

“Even if kids don’t have a fishing pole, they can still come,” Smith said. “We’ll provide them with a fishing pole and tackle box.”

A Grundy County chapter, Smith said, was formed about five years ago and focuses on conservation. Each chapter can determine its direction, he said. In addition to fishing derbies, campouts and passing out duck calls to the kids at last year’s Will County Fair, the main project – so far – for the Will County group is the making and placing of wood duck boxes.

A wood duck box, Smith said, is an 18-inch wooden box with holes, similar to a birdhouse. The youth attending a campout last fall in Shorewood made 25 boxes and set them up in the woods next to water, he added.

Since wood ducks make their nests in the hollows or stumps of trees, the idea is that the boxes will attract the ducks, Smith said.

“We put out 10 on the Des Plaines River and Illinois River and we have one at Four Seasons Park by their big lake, not far from the main pavilion, so people can go and see,” Smith said.

Linda Linson and her grandson, Kaiden Nuetzmann, 12, both of Shorewood, said they attended the campout and helped with the building.

Linson said Kaiden was given one of the boxes to take home

FAQ Do I have to live in Will County to join? Where are activities held? Where are meetings?

Will County TUFF Hunters welcomes families from all counties in Illinois and Indiana. Activities are held in Will, Grundy and LaSalle counties. Meetings are held in Joliet.

“They’re supposed to come by this month,” Linson said of the wood ducks, “so we’ll keep an eye out and see what happens.”

Linson learned about Will County TUFF Hunters from a flier advertising the campout.

Both she and Kaiden enjoy tent camping, but had never gone together. Unfortunately, they weren’t able to spend the night.

“When we finished putting our tent up, a big gust of wind came along and took it apart,”

Linson said.

Nevertheless, Linson said she and Kaiden stayed for the activities, which they enjoyed.

“If they do it again this year, we’ll try again,” Linson said of the campout.

About 30 members from the Willing Workers 4-H Club in Manhattan attended that campout and assisted with setting up tents and building the boxes, said Joyce Betz of Oak Lawn, one of the club’s assistant leaders. That included Betz’s daughters, Grace, 15, and Sarah, 13.

connection.

“We got to talking and the next thing we knew, we were involved with their wood duck box project,” Betz said.

“We have, maybe, seven of those boxes and we’re going to help them at their upcoming banquet.”

The informal partnership helps the 4-H kids hone their skills and develop a sense of community, Betz said.

Former Morris resident Bobbi Little feels Will County TUFF Hunters is so valuable to her 5-year-old son, Trey Little, that she and her husband, Steve Little, drive from Indiana for events. Bobbi Little said Trey caught the biggest fish at one fishing derby and the most fish at another.

Mostly, Trey enjoys the outdoors with his family and other kids.

“So many kids are inside on computers and Game Boys,” Little said. “This gets kids outside like when we were kids.”

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff present and last for more than one year, the disorder is named Tourette’s syndrome. This condition often begins in childhood, but continues into adulthood.

Unfortunately, treatment is not always successful.

Several years ago another reader asked me about Tourette’s syndrome, and I recalled a memorable cross-country flight I once took. Every few minutes, the woman sitting next to me would jerk her head and cry out “Eeeahhhh.” I realized she probably had Tourette’s syndrome and couldn’t control it, but I was annoyed: It was going to be hard to concentrate on my reading.

She must have seen my expression because she said: “I’m so sorry, sir, but I have a medical condition that causes this.

I wish I could control it, but I can’t. And I’ve got to get to my sister in Seattle.” I will never forget the expression of shame on her face.

Some people have severe tics that cause them to hurt themselves, by hitting or biting, for instance. Severe tics can be treated with medications that affect certain chemical messengers in the nervous system. A number of other medications, including injections of botulinum toxin (Botox and others), also may be effective.

It is rare for kids with tics to develop Tourette’s syndrome. I’ll bet your daughter’s tics will go away.

• Write to Dr. Komaroff at www.askdoctork.com or Ask Doctor K, 10 Shattuck St., Second Floor, Boston, MA 02115.

HOW TO PLAY Each row, column and set of 3-by-3 boxes must contain the numbers 1 through 9 without repetition.

PREVIOUS SOLUTION

• Sunday, March 20, 2016

Dear Dr. K: My young daughter will suddenly blink her eyes or twitch her nose repeatedly, for no good reason. The doctor says she has “tics,” a condition of her nervous system. Will this go away, and is it serious?

Dear Reader: Tics are upsetting – both to the person who has them and to the people who see them. We like to feel in control of our world. A sudden, uncontrollable, rapid repetitive movement (called a motor tic) says we’re not in control. So it’s understandable that both you and your daughter should be concerned.

Tics are pretty common in kids. They are thought to be inherited neurological disorders.

They also can be caused by head injury or certain drugs, such as stimulants.

They are not a psychological problem, although fatigue, anxiety and stress often make symptoms worse.

People with tic disorders describe an urge building up inside them before the tic appears, followed by a feeling of relief after the tic is over. After making an effort to suppress a tic, the person usually has a burst of tics to relieve a buildup of the inner sensation.

If a stimulant medication is causing your daughter’s tic, it might be worth stopping it, or substituting another stimulant drug in its place. Mild tics do not require treatment unless they are socially embarrassing or interfere with your child’s life.

If your daughter is disturbed by her tics, psychological counseling and behavior training can be effective. For example, a child may be taught to recognize that a tic is beginning and perform another movement that is incompatible with the tic.

When both motor and vocal tics are

Child’s guardians will decide who has contact with girl Dear Abby: In 2004, my husband and I were contacted by a friend who had gotten into an abusive relationship and lost custody of her daughter. She asked us to go through social services and adopt her little girl, so at least she would know her baby was loved and well taken care of.

Long story short, we did everything we could, but in the end we lost our battle. The grandparents were involved and took over. It was heartbreaking after a year and a half of loving the girl to have to let her go.

My niece works at an ice cream shop and saw our precious one recently.

Would it be wrong to contact her and her grandparents now that we know they are in town? I’d love to visit and form a relationship, but don’t know if it would be appropriate. – Hurting In Colorado Dear Hurting: Not knowing how bitter the “battle” to keep your friend’s child

of Will and Grundy Counties

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips was, it’s hard to say how the grandparents will react if you reach out. I suppose it couldn’t hurt to try – but do it via a letter so they have the option of contacting you or not. Do NOT contact the girl without their permission, because they could perceive it as threatening.

Dear Abby: One of my co-workers, “Liz,” lost her mother and an aunt to breast cancer. She had genetic testing done and found she carries the breast cancer genes. As a precaution, she had a double mastectomy and a hysterectomy.

Since her surgery, she has been attending Relay For Life events and

has been walking in the “survivor lap.”

There has been a huge backlash here in the office because people think Liz is misrepresenting herself as a cancer survivor. They are being cruel and calling her a liar, not so much to her face, but all over social media. I wonder if you think it is appropriate for her to call herself a survivor? – Conflicted In California Dear Conflicted: Considering her family history and what genetic testing revealed about her chances of suffering the same fate as her mother and her aunt, what Liz did seems prudent to me.

That her co-workers would trash her on social media is appalling. What horrible people they must be. I think the woman has suffered enough to walk a victory lap without being criticized for it – don’t you?

Dear Abby: My wife and I have been married 13 years. Of the two of us, I am

the more organized. Before we married, she warned me she kept a messy bedroom. Well, that has been confirmed.

Recently we had an argument about her clothes. After two weeks of her clean clothes lying on the floor and my asking her to pick them up, I took matters into my own hands. She caught me in the act, and we both vented our frustrations. I explained my environment affects my peace of mind. She called me “controlling.”

I’m not sure how to compromise and resolve this. I want to keep a clean house.

She wants me to leave her things alone.

Any suggestions? – Ready To Throw In

The Towel Dear Ready: Yes – separate bedrooms.

There was a sizable entry to my latest Christmas Competition. In four hearts, many ducked the first trick, hoping West would not find the club shift. In the real world, that might work, but not in a competition. Only two had the play problem correct: Bob Owens of Slidell, Louisiana, and Paul Simonsen of Vallejo, California.

But Simonsen did better on the subsidiary questions to win the first prize of one month’s subscription to www. bridgeforeveryone.com. Owens gets two weeks.

This deal from Steve Conrad of Manhasset, New York, is a good defensive lesson.

In a pair event, North-South pushed into four spades. Given the vulnerability, East should have doubled, hoping to go plus 200 and beat everyone making 130 in diamonds.

West led the diamond ace and continued with the diamond king.

South ruffed, drew trumps, and cashed the clubs, ending in the dummy. Then came a low heart. How should East have analyzed the position?

East should have known that West had started with three spades, six diamonds, two clubs and, therefore, only two hearts. Thus declarer had four hearts. So, it could not cost for East to play low. Then, West would have taken the trick, and the contract would have gone down.

However, East won with his heart king. Now, if he had continued with his low heart (or a diamond, conceding a useless ruff-and-sluff), the contract would still have failed. But he cashed the heart ace, squashing his partner’s queen. Keep counting.
