I’ve been humming “Let the sunshine in” under my breath occasionally for part of the past week.

I’m not a particular fan of the song, but it seemed fitting to have in my head during Sunshine Week, which ran from March 15 to 21. Sunshine Week is a national weeklong initiative aimed at educating the public about the importance of open government. It’s a time to remind those holding public office that the business of the government should be conducted openly, with information regarding how it is run available to everyday residents.

The Herald-News staff members put transparency to the test for our local governments. Five of our newsroom staffers visited local governments seeking

VIEWS Kate Schott a list of municipal workers’ salaries for the current fiscal year. State law clearly defines salaries as public information, so it should be easily accessible.

Our goal was not to catch any governments doing anything incorrectly, but instead to make sure the Freedom of Information Act was being adhered to locally.

And luckily for our readers, our local governments are following the law. We encountered few problems in getting the information we sought.

For that, we all should be grateful, and laud these governmental bodies for fol-

lowing the law. It would be troubling if we encountered difficulties in getting information that clearly is public.

I realize that it doesn’t happen all the time; we’ve had to fight for information at times that we think is public but a government doesn’t.

The Freedom of Information Act is not just for journalists. Residents can use this law to find out information about how government works. Given how much you pay to local governments, you should have an avenue to see how that money is spent.

The idea behind it is, if government officials know their actions are subject to scrutiny, they will be less likely to take risks in how the people’s business is conducted.

That sentiment may seem

Caterpillar announces production line moves from Joliet to Mexico

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Caterpillar Inc. is proceeding with a plan that includes the loss of 230 jobs from the Joliet plant and the move of two production lines to Mexico, according to a company statement released Friday.

The announcement comes two months after the company first went public about a possible move from the Joliet area.

“The company has since completed all analysis and determined to remain cost competitive, it must move forward with the transition,” the statement read.

The company’s production of gear and engine oil pumps and valves will be moved to a sister plant in Monterrey, Mexico. The transition out of Joliet is expected to begin in late 2016 and be complete by mid-2018. ​The International Association of Machinists union represents workers whose union jobs are being eliminated. Caterpillar gave the union a 60-day notice when it announced the

a bit idealistic – especially in this state, where corruption is practically a cottage industry. But we would be in a pretty dark place without that idealism and belief that we, everyday Joes and Janes, have the ability to keep our elected officials in check.

I encourage you to get familiar with the Freedom of Information Act. A community is as strong as the interest its residents take in it: FOIA is one way to embrace your role in creating a vibrant community.

LEGEND’S HONOR

Family, former players, coaches celebrate Joliet coach Gordie Gillespie’s life

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com

J

OLIET – Mark Parker asked Gordie Gillespie’s former players, family members and others at the coach’s celebration of life ceremony Saturday afternoon to close their eyes and remember Gillespie’s voice.

“He could hold a room of thousands of his peers at bay, sitting on the edge of their seat waiting for the next word just by his voice,” said Parker, who played for Gillespie’s teams at Joliet Catholic High School, now Joliet Catholic Academy.

For many in attendance at Saturday’s celebration inside University of St. Francis Pat Sullivan Center, Gillespie’s voice was focused on others, not himself.

“You wouldn’t be where you are today because of how he connected with you,” said Gillespie’s daughter, Margaret Mary Gillespie. “That’s what he did with all of us.”

Gillespie died Feb. 28 after a legendary career over 65 years in which he had a combined sports record of 2,402 victories against 1,170 losses and eight ties. He coached football, baseball and basketball at Joliet Catholic Academy, University of St. Francis, Lewis University and Ripon College in Wisconsin.

Fast driver, good father

One of Gillespie’s former players and good friends, Tony Delgado, said Gillespie had both political correctness and incorrectness covered.

Gillespie would often tell each of his kids that he or she was his favorite kid. He had several nicknames for his kids and players.

“I humbly must admit that Dad often referred to me as his favorite son,” Gordie Jr., or “Goose,” said, as people in the audience laughed.

Mary, Gordie Jr. and two of Gillespie’s other children, Bob Gillespie and Mike Gillespie, said their father wasn’t just a Gordie legendary coach Gillespie on the field, but his ideals permeated through his 11 children and stepchildren, 40 grandchildren and 42 great-grandchildren.

“As great a coach he was, he was a better person,” Mike said.

Gillespie’s wife, Joan Gillespie, said Gordie was humble and proud of what his players, family and friends did.

“If there was any pride in Gordie it was in what they did, not what he did,” she said. “He loved you all with a heart that was bigger than life.”

Inspiring players

Gillespie had a knack for identifying how to motivate his players.

Joliet Catholic head football coach Dan Sharp remembered a game he coached with Gillespie in which the opposing team was known for playing dirty and would throw cheap shots. The team’s

fullback didn’t know it, and Gillespie, then the head coach, called a play.

The fullback got heated after the rough after-play activities, and Gillespie called the same play. The fullback got more angry. Then Gilles-

pie called the play again. And he called it again.

The fullback took the ball and flew 50 yards down the field.

After Sharp asked him why he was calling the same play over again, Gillespie said,

“Danny, the lad was motivated.”

Sharp said he kept in touch with Gillespie late in his life, and that Gordie was still drawing up plays.

“But he always liked to laugh,” said Sharp, who earned the nickname “Not so” Sharp by Gillespie.

New hospital CEO’s ‘inspiration for this new role’ Kathleen Rhine heads Presence Saint Joseph Medical Center

By BOB OKON bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Kathleen Rhine, new CEO at Presence Saint Joseph Medical Center, said the death of her husband last year gave her a different view of health care.

“Before Doug’s cancer, I thought I knew a lot about health care,” she said. “When you become a patient, or a patient’s family member, you look at things with a whole new set of eyes.”

Rhine said she saw “things I’d like to see work better in health care.”

She did not know then she would become the chief executive of a hospital. But what she learned about health care during her husband’s battle with cancer became “an inspiration for this new role,” Rhine said last week.

“The wonderful moments when people take some time with you mean more than you can ever imagine,” Rhine said.

Rhine has been on the job five weeks. She was named regional president and CEO at Presence Saint Joseph Medical

Lathan Goumas - lgoumas@shawmedia.com

Katheleen Rhine, regional president and CEO for Presence Saint Joseph Medical Center, Joliet and Presence St. Mary’s Hospital, Kankakee, speaks Thursday with Sister Josephine Mulchahey while dining with nuns from the Franciscan Sisters of the Sacred Heart.

Center and Presence St. Mary’s Hospital in Kankakee after the resignation of Beth Hughes.

Rhine did not shed any light on her predecessor’s unexpected departure.

“Beth was a colleague. Out of respect for her, I would not want to speculate about what went into her decision,” she said.

Rhine did say her new role as CEO was unexpected. A big part of her job will be to continue the work Hughes and the

hospital had done before her.

“I’ve just been stunned since I’ve been here,” she said.

She pointed to “the strength of the clinical programs. We have 100 patients a month that transfer here from other hospitals.”

The Joliet hospital, which has 500 beds, was the largest hospital in the Provena system when it merged with Resurrection Health in 2011 to become Presence Health. The Joliet hospital is the largest in Pres-

ence Health.

Rhine did not have much experience in Joliet before becoming CEO. But she had been to the hospital and knew much about it. She was the chief transformation officer overseeing the merger of the Provena and Resurrection systems.

“When we did the merger, it was almost like the two systems were bookends – six hospitals and six hospitals, 12 nursing homes and 12 nursing homes,” Rhine said.

Both also were Catholic health systems. There are five congregations of nuns that are part of Presence Health, having founded the hospitals that make up the network.

The Joliet hospital was started in 1882 by the Franciscan Sisters of the Sacred Heart, whose mother house is in Mokena. The sisters no longer run the hospital, but they remain in close contact. Rhine had lunch with a group of the Franciscan Sisters last week.

“They got into hospital work when nobody wanted to work at hospitals,” Rhine said.

“They have a strong interest in seeing not only that the work continues, but the spirit.”

While Rhine’s new assignment may have come unexpectedly, her resume indicates she was prepared for the job.

Rhine was senior vice president of patient and family center care after joining Presence Health in 2010. She previously was with the Saint Joseph Mercy Health System in Ann Arbor, Michigan, where she was a chief operating officer and was responsible for redevelopment of a 537-bed hospital.

She is originally from the Philadelphia area and now lives in Chicago. Rhine has a master’s degree in business from the University of Michigan and a bachelor’s degree in health planning and administration from Pennsylvania State University.

Will County surveying residents on transportation needs

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Will County officials are eager to know how you get to and from work, whether you’re stuck in traffic, and how the county can best move forward in solving some of the region’s most pressing transportation issues.

Officials are urging residents to take the county’s transportation survey, available on-

line until April 9 on the county’s “Will Connects 2040” website at www.WillConnects2040.org.

Since first kicking off earlier this year, the county has received “hundreds” of responses, said Nick Palmer, chief of staff for County Executive Larry Walsh Sr. But the more feedback, the better, he said.

“At this stage, we’re basically collecting the public’s perception,” he said. “Maybe we have a vision, but we don’t have a

complete picture.”

The survey is part of the county’s contracting with the engineering design firm AECOM to develop and update its 2040 long-range transportation plan. Open houses will also be held beginning next month to gauge community input.

In updating its long-range plan, the county hopes to focus on linking transportation with

MINOOKA – A standing-room only crowd of students, parents, teachers and other staff gathered Thursday at Minooka Community High School’s School Board meeting to voice displeasure with several agenda items that called for personnel reductions in the district.

Following an open session where several pleaded their cases, then an hour-long closed session, the school board made sweeping personnel cuts involving teachers, a librarian and support staff, along with reductions in hours of several district positions in an attempt to reduce a fiscal year $3 million deficit.

Reductions in force were given to art teacher Christine Listello, music teacher Tyler White and librarian Lisa Wright – all full-time employees.

Part-time social studies teacher Candace Baker and

sitions will not be renewed for two teachers retiring in drivers’ education and English, and for one retiring counselor.

Superintendent Jim Blanche said after the meeting there were nine teachers affected by the reductions in force out of the district’s nine departments.

“This is painful,” Blanche said. “Nobody wants to do it, but our budget issues are well-documented.”

Blanche said the cause of the budget deficit is a drastic decrease in revenue over the past few years resulting from declines in property tax and state dollars.

Board President Mike Brozovich said over the past four years, the district has lost $10 Jeanne Millsap for Shaw Media million in tax-based revenue A room packed with art and music students, parents and teachers greeted the Minooka Community High because of the declining economy.

Cantigny VFW honors police, firefighters

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – An undercover officer, a veteran detective and five efficient firefighters were recognized Thursday by the Veterans of Foreign Wars Cantigny Post.

Aaron Bandy was named Joliet Police Officer of the Year, Dave Dobrowski was named Will County Sheriff’s Deputy of the Year and Chuck Gerl, Tony Muir, Christopher Conroy, B.J. Widlowski and Joe Widlowski were named Joliet Firefighters of the Year. “[This] recognition helps to serve as encouragement to our officers to continue to work diligently each day,” Joliet Police Chief Brian Benton said.

Bandy, an 11-year veteran, is an undercover officer with the narcotics unit. He conducted 34 drug buys and 10 search warrants last year to seize 177 grams of cocaine, 65 pounds of marijuana, 37 grams of heroin, 12 grams of crack, more than 1,000 prescription pills, six handguns, nine vehicles and more than $5,000.

“In addition, Officer Bandy’s use of confidential sources assisted in the arrest of four homicide suspects last year,” Benton said. “His investigative work overall has undoubtedly saved many lives and prevented many other crimes from occurring.”

As Bandy accepted the award he told last year’s recipient Jeff German, “We’re tied again.” The former part-

“I want your families to know it’s my privilege to come to work with these men. They display kindness, professionalism and compassion.”

Lt. Chuck Gerl Joliet Fire Department ners shared the honor in 2009.

Valuable experience, expertise

Will County Sheriff Mike Kelley said Dobrowski, a deputy for 25 years, offers both veteran experience and expertise in new technology to other investigators.

“Along with maintaining his normal caseload ... Dobrowski ceaselessly assists his fellow detectives that require detailed phone records, cell tower information and social media investigations,” Kelley said. “[He] has never refused to assist another detective, deputy or outside agency, regardless of how seemingly insurmountable or trivial the request,” Kelley said.

Dobrowski was a detective from 2001 to 2005 and returned to that division in 2009. He also is a member of the department’s SWAT team and is the Negotiation Team Leader. Kelley noted Dobrowski’s advice is regularly sought by younger detectives.

14 Freedom of Information Act can be good for business

By BOB OKON bokon@shawmedia.com Six businesses each week put in Freedom of Information Act requests for all of Joliet’s accident reports.

One of them is a medical office.

Four are law firms and another is a media company.

City Clerk Christa Desiderio would not speculate on what they’re looking for.

But it’s one example of how the Freedom of Information Act is not merely a tool for publicly minded citizens trying to dig out information about their government.

Desiderio said she believes FOIA requests at her office are mostly from Joliet residents.

But other village clerks said resident FOIAs are rare, and the typical FOIA request comes from businesses seeking out information helpful to business.

The requests for accident reports were among 2,626 FOIA requests the city of Joliet received in 2014. So far this year, there have been 687 FOIA requests.

The pace is probably up a bit because of the April 7 city elections – a time when candidates often search for information about other candidates.

“We’re having a lot more requests for email correspondence,” Desiderio said. “They don’t mention the election. But a lot of them are the hot topics.”

More than half of the requests are for police reports.

“I think some people need information for court,” Desiderio said. And people involved in traffic accidents often need accident reports, too, for insurance purposes.

“We try to get people their responses as quickly as possible,” Desiderio said. But handling FOIA requests can be “very demanding on all municipalities,” she said.

Desiderio and her two employees all work on FOIA requests, among their other duties. A deputy chief in the police department is designated a FOIA officer to handle requests for police reports.

Requests for police reports can be more time consuming than others because information about victims, including personal information such as

phone numbers, often is redacted first.

Probably the biggest FOIA request, Desiderio said, came from a man in prison for murder. His request amounted to 600 pages, all of which had to be read through to ensure personal information about victims was not provided.

One FOIA request “took 40 hours. They can shut down an office at times,” she said.

Call first

Desiderio and other village clerks said they respond to FOIA requests as quickly as possible.

All four clerks interviewed

by The Herald-News said it’s a good idea for citizens to call first if they do not typically seek out public documents.

“It might take less time,” Plainfield Village Clerk Michelle Gibas said.

“Anyone who wants a document from the village, it’s very easy to get,” Gibas said.

A citizen might find they can get the information they want without filing a FOIA. Gibas and other village clerks also said they can be helpful in narrowing down FOIA requests to the specific information a resident wants.

But Gibas said it’s “very rare” to get FOIA requests from village residents.

“What we’re getting is businesses looking for information about building permits,” Gibas said.

A big construction project on a commercial building typically leads to FOIA requests on building permits. Gibas assumes companies are looking for information that is helpful in developing businesses.

“I think it’s abused,” Gibas said. “I don’t think you should be able to use government to further your business. ... I believe the purpose of FOIA was for residents to get access to the government. That is not what’s happening with FOIA.” Her office received 270 FOIA requests in 2014. Requests for police reports are filed separately with the police department.

SPRINGFIELD – State Rep. Larry Walsh Jr., D-Elwood, was honored Wednesday by the Associated Fire Fighters of Illinois with a legislative award.

“Every day firefighters across our state leave their families not knowing whether or not they will make it home,” Walsh said in a news release. “The sacrifices these brave men and women make have earned them the right to know their loved ones will be cared for if something should happen to them.”

Walsh was chosen by AFFI for his role in helping pass legislation last year, Public Act 98-0391, providing additional financial support to the surviving children of fallen firefighters.

don’t know why they didn’t. …

Maybe it’s something different.”

Joliet Police Chief Brian Benton said his officers also did not a receive a call about the situation.

Coleman said the fire department was not contacted because Nicor experts and a school HVAC staff member verified the source of the gas was from an exterior vent outside the building.

“If there had been something else, then maybe we would have called if someone detected a smell anywhere in the building,” he said. “That’s one of those things that if it’s verified in that manner, there’s no need for us to take it beyond any measures than that.”

JOLIET – Carl Sandburg Elementary School was evacuated Friday afternoon after a custodial engineer detected the smell of gas, but Nicor experts determined there wasn’t a leak, school officials said.

About 1 p.m. Friday, a custodial engineer at Sandburg Elementary School, 1100 Lilac Lane, detected the smell of gas from an outside vent at the back of the building, Joliet Public Schools District 86 Superintendent Charles Coleman said.

“When you smell gas, you take immediate action,” Coleman said.

Students and staff were di-

rected to leave the building and sent to Hufford Junior High, 1125 N. Larkin Ave., he said. School officials contacted Nicor, who sent their experts to investigate.

Coleman said Nicor experts determined there were no leaks and the “little vent system was doing what it was supposed to do.” The custodial engineer had smelled some gas picked up by the wind while at the entrance of the boiler room, he said.

The Joliet Fire Department did not receive any calls Friday afternoon from Carl Sandburg Elementary, Joliet Fire Battalion Chief Jeff Carey said Friday.

“We usually do get a call,” said Carey, who said he checked computer records. “I

Eagles: 60-minute man Chuck Bednarik dead at 89 The ASSOCIATED PRESS PHILADELPHIA – Chuck Bednarik, a Pro Football Hall of Famer and one of the last great two-way NFL players, died early Saturday. He was 89.

Known as “Concrete Charlie,” Bednarik epitomized the tough-guy linebacker and also was an outstanding center for the Eagles from 1949 to 1962. He is best remembered for a game-saving tackle at the 9-yard line on the final play of the 1960 title game, and it was typical Bednarik. He threw Green Bay running back Jim Taylor to the ground and refused to let him up while the final seconds ticked off as the Eagles held on for a 17-13 win.

“Everybody reminds me of it and I’m happy they remind me of it,” Bednarik once said. “I’m proud and delighted to have played in that game.”

He died at an assisted living facility in Richland, Pennsylvania, following a brief illness, the Eagles said in a statement.

Two of his daughters said

Bednarik, a Pro Football Hall of Famer and one of the last great two-way NFL players, has died. He was 89.

Bednarik had dementia, an affliction common in former professional football players.

“He died from dementia from football-related head injuries,” Charlene Thomas told the The Express-Times of Easton. “It was not brief.”

JOSEPH A. ZUPANCIC Joseph “Jack Rabbit” A. Zupancic, age 92, passed away peacefully Thursday, March 19, 2015, at Presence Saint Joseph Medical Center.

Born in Aurora and Rockdale resident for the past 61 years. A

economic development and jobs while also supporting infrastructure needs and quality living, Palmer said.

The county’s growing residential population, coupled with major industrial developments in the last decade or so with the BNSF Logistics Park-Chicago in Elwood and the Union Pacific-Joliet Intermodal Terminal in Joliet, poses serious challenges, Palmer said.

“We have residents trying to get to and from work, to school ... to family events. But then you add in the two existing intermodal facilities that are moving millions of containers each year. … All that contributes to a very complex system,” Palmer said.

Proposed state budget cutbacks are all the more reason why county officials are reaching out to residents to prioritize long-term transportation projects and needs.

“Essentially we want to know, ‘Where is the shortage of service, and how can we put more service out there?’”

WWII U.S. Army veteran serving in the Pacific Theater and a recipient of the Purple Heart.

Retired from the EJE Railroad after 32 years of service.

Formerly employed at Reynolds Aluminum. He enjoyed fishing and spending time with family and friends.

Preceded by his parents, Anton and Jennie (nee Vasil) Zupancic; and one sister, Kathryn.

Survived by his loving and devoted wife of 64 years and would have celebrated 65 years July 29, 2015, Audrey L. (nee Grossklaus) Zupancic of Rockdale; two daughters, Rhonda (Charles) Raysel of Joliet and Cheryl Zupancic of Rockdale; two sons, William and Robert (Kathy) Zupancic, both of Joliet; four grandchildren, Nathaniel Zupancic, Chuck “Poke” Raysel, Stacie (Mike) Knowles and Robert Zupancic; two great-grandchildren,

Palmer said. “There’s demand. There’s desire. But there’s not enough funds, so we need to prioritize.”

The survey is designed to gather input early on in the planning process, according to a spring newsletter from the county released this week.

The input will have a “direct effect in shaping the future of transportation initiatives across the county,” the newsletter states.

Projections have shown that the county’s population of 680,000 will grow to 1.2 million by 2040. Will County is in a unique situation – all the more reason that officials aim for a strategic, coordinated effort with future infrastructure investments.

“Otherwise, we’re going to be stuck in traffic,” Palmer said. “Half our population isn’t here yet. They’re stuck in traffic trying to get here.”

Palmer said the survey should take only a “few minutes” to complete. Available at the link, the survey asks respondents to rank priorities, outline problem areas in the region, and suggest ways to improve transportation.

Mikey and Kolton Knowles; his faithful canine companion, Taffy; and numerous nieces and nephews also survive.

Funeral Services for Joseph A. Zupancic will be held Monday, March 23, 2015, at 8:45 a.m. at the Fred C. Dames Funeral Home, 3200 Black at Essington Rds., Joliet.

Interment Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery where full military honors will be accorded under the auspices of the United States Army.

Visitation Sunday, TODAY, 2:00 to 6:00 p.m.

Gov. Rauner, gay rights advocates find common ground

CHICAGO – Putting election-year hostilities behind them, gay rights advocates said they emerged from a meeting with Gov. Bruce Rauner with a pledge the Republican will strictly enforce anti-discrimination laws and hope that he’ll also support their top legislative priority: a ban on gay conversion therapy for minors.

Representatives of Equality Illinois and other advocacy groups met Friday with Rauner for the first time since he took office in January.

Rauner said he’ll issue a directive that state agencies strictly enforce anti-discrimination laws.

He has directed the Department of Human Rights to conduct a survey of Illinois residents to identify patterns of discrimination and provide recommendations to his office by Jan. 31.

Rauner also said he’ll appoint a liaison from his office to the gay and lesbian community.

Equality Illinois CEO Bernard Cherkasov said Saturday the roughly 30-minute meeting was a positive first step. A spokesman for Rauner confirmed details of the meeting but declined to comment further.

Gay rights activists supported Rauner’s rival, Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn, during the campaign.

They campaigned actively against the GOP businessman, calling him “an enemy of equality” and hanging a huge anti-Rauner banner along the route where thousands of people attended Chicago’s gay pride parade.

A major issue was Rauner’s position on gay marriage. Quinn signed legislation making samesex marriage legal in Illinois, and called it one of his proudest accomplishments. Rauner declined

County clerks worried about special election for Schock seat

PRINGFIELD – County clerks worried about being ready for the upcoming special election for U.S. Rep. Aaron Schock’s seat are asking Illinois lawmakers to delay a new state law allowing same-day voter registration.

The special election is likely to occur after June 1, when the new law takes effect. But clerks in the 18th Congressional District say they won’t have enough money or time to implement changes needed to comply with the law, the Springfield bureau of Lee Enterprises reported.

“There’s no way we can be ready for that,” McLean County Clerk Kathy Michael said.

Schock announced Tuesday

he will resign his seat at the end of the month, saying constant questions about irregularities in his campaign and district office spending had become a distraction. On Friday, The Associated Press confirmed the U.S. Justice Department is investigating the Peoria Republican’s spending and his business dealings, and that FBI agents have started issuing subpoenas to potential witnesses.

Once Schock leaves office, Gov. Bruce Rauner will schedule a special election to replace him. The primary and general election must occur within 120 days of the vacancy, or by the end of July. But neither election can occur before June because of state law regarding the timing for candidates to submit nominating petitions.

Several clerks from the 19-county district, which spans from western to central Illinois, met in Springfield on Friday.

They said they’re not opposed to allowing same-day registration at the main county election office, which they did during

the November election. But they said they hadn’t budgeted for the additional expense of a special election.

said Crawford is not part of that program, describing him as a “student support worker” helping with arrivals and dismissals.

A defense attorney couldn’t be reached for comment.

FOIA officials try for accessibility Continued from page 14 Clerk Toni Dulny said most of the FOIA requests that come through her office go to the building department.

Even the installation of a water heater has generated a FOIA to find out who installed it, Dulny said.

“The most common,” she said, “are new construction and liens and violations.”

Real estate companies may need that information on a house that is on the market, she said.

Dulny said Shorewood has five trained FOIA officers, so employees in different departments can handle requests.

“We try to put as much on our website as we can to make things easily accessible,” she said. “We try to think of things that are most asked for, so people don’t have to go

through the process.”

FOIA from California

The village of New Lenox received 143 FOIA requests in 2014.

Most FOIA requests are for building permits, attempts to find out about liens on property, information on bids, and requests on business registrations, Village Clerk Laura Ruhl said.

Most are business related, she said.

Staff members to work fewer days • CUTS Continued from page 7 Blanche said he received news Thursday the district will lose an additional 2.25 percent in state revenue next year.

Most of the students attending the meeting knew cuts were being made, but the two they had heard of prior to the meeting were the art and music teachers, Listello and White.

The students, along with parents and teachers, took turns speaking at the podium.

Senior Isabel Ortega was there with her friend, senior Haley Donisch, both in orange T-shirts from the school’s art department.

“I’ve always been involved in the arts program,” Ortega said before the meeting. “I’m here to speak, and hopefully, they will change their minds.”

When it was her turn to speak, she made a passionate plea.

“What I’m asking you today is to find another solution in solving this budget deficit,” she said.

Donisch said the staff being cut were especially well-loved.

Speaking at the meeting, she

“What I’m asking you today is to find another solution in solving this budget deficit.”

Isabel Ortega Minooka senior was critical of the board for not letting students and the public know details of the cuts they were considering.

“We would have been happy to fundraise,” she said, “if we would have known in advance.”

Student Jackie Russell, enrolled in honors classes and the band, said that as someone involved in music and academics, he believed music was the more important skill when heading to college.

He said cutting the music department by a quarter and the art department by half was not in the best interest of students.

“Music to me is just as important as math,” he said.

Both of the district’s art teachers spoke at the meeting.

Dana Becker will be the only art teacher left at the campuses

next year.

“The arts teach critical thinking, skills of observation, analysis, interpretation and assessment – skills that go far beyond artwork,” she said. “These skills ... provide students with a mindset and/ or foundation to be productive, successful members of our society.”

Several other staff members had the number of days they will work next year reduced with the board’s decisions.

Three counselors – Ray Liberatore, Stan Tischer and Bobbi White – had their annual work days reduced by 10; librarian Carolyn Kinsella’s work days were reduced by five; and work days were reduced by seven for Deans Renee Ebel and Bernard Ruettiger.

Athletic Director Bob Tyrell will work 50 fewer days next year; and instructional leaders Bert Kooi, Donna Engel, Shawn Capodice, Trent Bontrager and Glenda Smith will work five fewer days.

Other staff hour reductions include Mike Denson and secretaries/receptionists Jeri Brockett, Anne Seidel, Kathy Krakowski, Marci Jordan, Jenn Quinn and Julie Feeney.

KABUL, Afghanistan – As the Afghan president heads to the United States on his first trip to Washington as head of state, the landmark visit offers a chance for both sides to start afresh and wipe the slate clean on the legacy of troubled U.S-Afghan relations.

Ashraf Ghani faces a daunting task – long-term, the visit could set the tone for years to come.

More pressingly, Ghani needs firm commitment of American military support in his fight against the Taliban and other insurgent groups, including an Islamic State affiliate, which he and U.S. military leaders fear is finding a foothold in Afghanistan.

Ghani’s relationship with Washington stands in stark contrast to that of his acrimonious predecessor, Hamid Karzai, whose antagonism toward the U.S. culminated in a refusal to sign security agreements with Washington and NATO before leaving office. Ghani signed the pacts within days of becoming president in September, and has since enjoyed a close relationship with U.S. diplomats and military leaders.

“It’s important for Afghanistan that the United States has trust in the leaders of the country and uses this visit to show its support for the new government,” said Afghan political analyst Jawed Khoistani. “A long-term American presence in Afghanistan is essential.”

Ghani’s week-long trip, which starts Sunday, comes as the Afghan army is waging its first-ever solo offensive against the Taliban in Helmand province, their southern heartland, seeking a decisive victory ahead of the spring fighting season as evidence it can carry the bat-

Afghanistan’s President Ashraf Ghani talks Saturday during a news conference for foreign media at the presidential palace in Kabul, Afghanistan. tle without U.S. and NATO combat troops that withdrew from Afghanistan at the end of 2014.

Ghani, who was personally involved in planning the Helmand operation, launched in February, will ask the U.S. for enhanced backup in the offensive, including air support, several officials close to the Afghan president told The Associated Press, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss the upcoming visit.

There are 13,000 foreign soldiers still in Afghanistan, about 9,800 American troops and 3,000 from NATO – down from a peak of 140,000 in 20092010.

Those still here are involved in training and supporting Afghan security forces, with battlefield backup only when necessary. Also, half of the U.S. troops are engaged in counterterrorism operations against the Taliban and al-Qaida.

U.S. officials have said the Obama administration is set to abandon plans to draw down to 5,500 troops by year’s end, bowing to military leaders’ requests. And while no final decision on numbers has been made, the U.S is expected to allow many of the American troops to remain well into 2016.

However, Ghani already

has signaled in talks ahead of the visit that he wants the U.S. to maintain 10,000 troops in Afghanistan throughout the next decade, according to a European military official who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the talks.

Even more important is the presence of U.S. and NATO bases, which are to be dismantled in mid-2016, according to current plans – an undertaking that would take assets away from the fight.

Keeping the bases going would reaffirm Afghanistan’s strategic importance to the United States. And while Ghani is likely to get a U.S. commitment for funding, training and support for the Afghan military beyond 2016, his request to keep the bases open beyond that timeframe is still on the table, the European official said.

U.S. military leaders in Afghanistan agree with Ghani that the U.S. bases in Kabul, the southern city of Kandahar, the former capital for the Taliban’s 1996-2001 regime, and the eastern city of Jalalabad should remain open “as long as possible,” the European official said. Germany was considering extending the life of its base in northern Mazar-i-Sharif, but the Italian base in the eastern city of Herat is not expected to remain.

Unclear how many jobs will remain • CATERPILLAR Continued from page 2 the management positions that support those operations, will remain in Joliet.”

Still, the fate of hundreds of remaining jobs remains unclear.

Caterpillar has announced that 230 union production line positions will be cut at the Joliet plant. But of the nearly 770 employees at the plant, there are hundreds of contract, managerial and other positions, Walsh Jr. said.

Some of the contract workers and a number of management positions “will move with the production,” Walsh Jr. said.

“The rumor rolling around is that there will probably be about 30, 50 production jobs left,” Walsh Jr. said.

When asked about the remaining jobs in Joliet, Caterpillar spokeswoman Rachel Potts wouldn’t comment on specifics, but said the company “always continues to take a look at the entire strategy” and “take a look at what makes sense” for the company as a whole.

“What we’re announcing today is the approximate impact,” she said.

State Sen. Pat McGuire, D-Joliet, said he’s heard from union members that the number of managerial employees and contract workers leaving “is in the hundreds.”

‘Caterpillar is giving up on them’

cuts at the Joliet factory, which in the late 1970s employed nearly 7,000 workers. Now, there are 770. About 250 of those are union employees.

The number of union employees at the plant has dropped in the past two years from the 780 who worked there in 2012, when machinists went on strike in an unsuccessful effort to prevent Caterpillar from reducing benefits.

The company’s announcement comes despite attempts made by local officials to persuade Caterpillar officials to keep the jobs in the Joliet area.

In the weeks following Caterpillar’s initial announcement, Walsh Jr., McGuire, union leaders, and other officials reached out to the company about the prospects for keeping jobs in Joliet.

A Caterpillar spokesperson had said move was not based on considerations such as taxes and policy issues that could be addressed by government officials.

In a statement Friday, U.S. Congressman Bill Foster, D-Naperville, said he was “extremely disappointed” in Caterpillar’s decision to move to Mexico and turn its back on workers and a community that has supported the company “for decades.”

“Immediately after learning of this news, I reached out to union leadership to offer my full support during this difficult time,” Foster said in the statement. “While this is a tough blow, I have no doubt that the resiliency of our community and our workers will prevail.”

The local factory is known as the Joliet plant, although it is actually located in unincorpo‘A tough blow’ The move is part of a series of rated Troy Township.

he was disappointed knowing Caterpillar’s move is about the cost-savings.

“I asked him about the hourly wages in Mexico. He said he didn’t know. I asked him if the workers there would be union.

He said he didn’t know,” McGuire said. “Men and women have been punching into work at Caterpillar for more than 50 years ... They never gave up on Caterpillar, yet Caterpillar is giving up on them.”

Caterpillar’s leasing agreement with CenterPoint Properties expires in 2018. The company in 2003 sold its Joliet plant and property to the Oak Brookbased developer and signed a 15year lease at that time.

Potts wouldn’t say Friday whether the company plans to renew the lease, but that this is “a discussion to have” with the developer.

John Greuling, president and CEO for the Will County Center for Economic Development, said his biggest concern is retaining whatever jobs may be left after this transition.

“Whatever is potentially left, we need to figure out a way to work with [Caterpillar], to keep those jobs here,” Greuling said.

He said the move was no surprise, as manufacturing continues to decline in the U.S. “Unfortunately, this was a shoe that was going to fall sooner or later,” Greuling said. “We still have a fair amount [of manufacturing] in the country, and in the region, but they tend to be companies that are smaller or have high-skilled processes.

For Caterpillar, this was a global decision.”

Take a bite out of Apple stock Dear Mr. Berko: I recall a column of yours from a couple of years ago that was negative on Apple because Steve Jobs died.

Apple has gone up a lot since that column, so I wonder whether it has gone up too much to buy for a three- to five-year investment. Also, what is your opinion of Apple Watch, which wasn’t on display at the recent Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas? I’d like to buy Apple because several of my friends and I believe that Apple Watch could be as popular for consumers as the iPhone and iPad. – FS, North Miami, Fla. Dear FS: When a company

has a good product, it advertises it. When the product is basically ordinary, the company markets it.

I don’t like the Apple Watch and doubt it will be a success. It’s an ugly, clunky, unattractive, superfluous gadget that will be a silly waste of money. Unfortunately, I’ve learned the hard way that among the reasons Apple has been so successful is its impressive ability to create huge, profitable mass markets where none existed before.

The Apple Watch will come in two different sizes, and there will be three different “editions,” plus an array of straps and add-ons that will price the thing between $450 and $700. It’s Apple’s first new product category in over five years and the first under CEO Tim Cook. So far, this newfangled product has failed to excite consumer interests.

However, Apple-watchers are predicting smart watch sales this year to be between 10 million and 40 million units. To ensure consumer attention, Apple will come out with Apple Watch 11 in 2017, and in 2019, there will

TAKING STOCK Malcolm Berko be Apple Watch 1V, which will be water-resistant to 900 yards. Albert Einstein once remarked: “I fear the day technology will surpass our human interaction. The world will have a generation of idiots.”

In December 2011, two months after Jobs passed away, when Apple was trading around $440, I told readers that without Steve, Apple would be dead in the water. However, nine months later, Apple was trading at $705. I missed the top by only 265 points.

Scores of readers chastised me for such lousy advice, and every once in a while, my elder grandson (who didn’t sell his shares) revels in giving me a gentle jab.

During the following 20 months, Apple retreated from its lofty $700 perch, falling to $385 in April 2013 before rising back to the mid-$600s by May 2014.

Then, in July, the board of directors declared a 7-for-1 split, and Apple (AAPL) shares now trade at $127.

AAPL, one of the world’s largest makers of computers and peripheral consumer products, also sells operating systems, related software services, developer tools and database software.

Today AAPL has 96,000 employees, some of whom helped the company grow revenues from $6 billion in 1998 to $183 billion last year.

So yes, I approve of your intent to purchase 100 shares.

BUSINESS BRIEFS Check Workforce Services Division’s Resume Gallery

JOLIET – Businesses looking to hire should include the Workforce Services Division’s Resume Gallery in their search.

The gallery was designed in response to discussions with businesses and workers looking for a way to keep resumes of job seekers from becoming buried on large sites, said Scott Kettman, business services/special projects supervisor for WSD, according to a news release from the division.

“We encourage businesses to check our website often since new resumes are added to the Resume Gallery daily,” Kettman said in the news release. “Businesses must have an active job posting on our website to access the resumes of job seekers.”

Area people looking for jobs are encouraged to take advantage of the service by submitting resumes. Uploaded resumes are reviewed by WSD staff before they are posted, said Kettman. Staff members may make suggestions on improving the resume to make it more competitive before it is put on the gallery.

A resume tip sheet is also available at www.jobs4people. org.

Water treatment system for Romeoville lauded

Strand Associates Inc. of Joliet has earned a National Recognition Award for exemplary engineering achievement in the American Council of Engineering Companies’ 49th annual Engineering Excellence Awards for designing an ultraviolet treatment system for the water supply system in Romeoville.

Treating with chemicals a recurring bacteria growth in Romeoville’s high-capacity water supply well required

shutting down for several weeks at a time, according to a news release from Strand. Because the chemicals were degrading an aquifer, the state mandated that the village find a permanent solution to the problem.

The project is among 170 engineering projects throughout the nation and world recognized by ACEC as preeminent engineering achievements and eligible for one of the top 2015 Engineering Excellence Awards.

Awards criteria include uniqueness and originality, technical innovation, social and economic value, complexity, and success in meeting goals.

Final winners, including 16 Honor Awards, eight Grand Awards and the prestigious “Grand Conceptor Award” for the year’s most outstanding overall engineering achievement, will be announced April 21.

OUR VIEW

Discouraging news on FOIA Despite reform efforts and good intentions from some, Illinois residents still are often left in the dark when it comes to records of what’s happening with the government entities they fund with their tax dollars.

The Associated Press recently examined the backlog of Freedom of Information Act appeals in Illinois Attorney General’s Office five years after Attorney General Lisa Madigan hired a public access counselor to intervene in cases between government agencies and individuals or organizations seeking access to government records.

According to the AP analysis, more than 2,800 appeals have not gotten a response, which is about one in five appeals since reform went into place in 2010.

While that’s bad news, what’s even more troubling is that this has been a big step forward.

Before the public access counselor position was created, the only recourse for a citizen who sought records that were being denied was to hire a private attorney at his own expense while the government agency could fight that request tooth and nail with tax dollars to back up its legal bills.

Some might believe this issue is only a typical fight between journalists and government, but the reality is that more than four of five of the unresolved appeals are disputes between individuals and government agencies.

Solutions are baffling, because putting teeth in the law in the form of fines is ultimately punishing taxpayers because their government agencies are hiding information from them.

There’s also the question of manpower to sort the appeals. If more government oversight personnel are needed, that will be reflected by more salary costs.

Perhaps individual government employees who illegally fight against releasing information obviously covered by FOIA should be suspended or terminated, or private law firms who give those entities bad legal advice should have to cover their own costs.

When asked about the issue, Gov. Bruce Rauner essentially stated the obvious.

“We’ve got to change that culture, and be more responsive,” Rauner said.

That culture has permeated Illinois, a state with a national reputation for corruption, for far too long.

The culture of secrecy seeps all the way down to school districts and village halls.

We’re open to new and better solutions to making public officials at all levels understand records of how government conducts business is the people’s business and that releasing public documents should be the norm instead of the exception.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

End the gridlock over Loretta Lynch It’s been more than 130 days since President Barack Obama nominated Loretta Lynch to replace U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder. Although Ms. Lynch is superbly qualified, she needs the support of four Republican senators to become the next attorney general. She can probably garner those votes, but the challenge is to wait for a floor vote in the Senate to confirm her. So what’s the problem?

Politicians love the word “clean.” There’s “clean sweep,” “clean break,” “clean start.”

Since taking control of the U.S. Senate, Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., has shown he loves every one of those phrases except the one that is increasingly necessary: a “clean bill.”

A “clean bill” has become McConnell’s stumbling block to proving Republicans can take charge and end gridlock. McConnell has now taken hostage the confirmation of Lynch – unless

VIEWS Donna Brazile the Democrats agree to vote for an anti-abortion amendment that was slipped into a bill on human trafficking.

“I had hoped to turn to [Lynch] next week,” McConnell told CNN. “But if we can’t finish the trafficking bill, she will be put off again. [Democrats] need to come to grips with this.”

Democrats appear to have the better argument on the last-minute addition, since they were unanimously agreeing to the passage of the bill prior to its discovery.

By infusing abortion politics into what was a bipartisan bill, McConnell has created a multicar pileup so huge that even Republican senators despair anything can get done.

Republican Sen. Mark Kirk of Illinois told the Capitol Hill newspaper Roll Call, “My wish is that we hadn’t junked that bill up with abortion politics.”

Kirk added that the Republicans should act “as a governing party, always keep bills focused on their main purpose, not link them to the hot social issues of our time.”

The provision McConnell wants, according to a spokesman for Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, “dramatically” extends the scope of the current anti-abortion provisions in the Hyde Amendment, as well as making them permanent.

McConnell said Lynch’s confirmation also was being held up because of the president’s executive orders on immigration reform. So the delay is for spite as well as a legislative bait and switch.

See BRAZILE, page 35

NEED SNOWPLOWS MORE THAN A SCOREBOARD To the Editor: This is just a thought: How many new snowplows could have been bought by the city of Joliet instead of a new scoreboard? The Slammers stadium has been there for quite a while now: shouldn’t it have been self-sustainable by now? After all these years!

Just a thought. Especially when it takes a week to get the streets cleared of snow.

Safety on all city streets needs to be a priority both now and in the future.

PRIORITY OBSCURED

BY GRIDLOCK

To the Editor: Mr. Malmgren, in his most recent screed to The Herald-News (“Republicans being outsmarted by Democrats” that appeared in the Wednesday, March 11, 2015, edition), asks in regard to the antics of Congress, “… since when has following the Constitution been a priority?”

It became a priority the moment our elected officials swore to uphold the Constitution.

According to the website www.senate.gov, “Upon taking office senators-elect must swear or affirm that they will ‘support and defend the Constitution.’ ” However, that priority has been obscured in favor of parlor tricks, pettiness, and gridlock.

I submit that the only thing he did get right in his letter was his suggestion that nothing productive was being done in Washington.

Pat Perrier Crest Hill

REEDER MISLEADS …

AGAIN

To the Editor: The Illinois Supreme Court hears arguments on the day that Mr. Reeder’s opinion was published (March 11). I’m hoping the justices will have more facts and insights than Mr. Reeder.

Thank you, Scott Reeder, for pointing out an article that says one in 10 state workers make more than $100,000.

What you failed to do was point out that nine out of 10 don’t.

Another fact you left out was most at this $100,000 level is due to huge amounts of overtime they rack up each year because the state doesn’t hire more workers. Many of these are nurses, police and prison guards. The majority of Illinois public employees receive modest pensions – averaging just $32,000 annually after decades devoted to public service.

Another glaring omission while you spread fear about basic service cuts is the lack of plans to cut business perks the state gives each year. Ask voters if they would rather cut the pensions of people that have earned them with decades of service, or cut the tax breaks from corporations that pay little or no state taxes.

We agree that state government has been cut dramatically in the last decade. We are a very low state when it comes to per capita spending.

What needs to be looked at is revenue.

We are one of the last states to have a flat income tax rate, and it’s time that goes.

Most states and the District of Columbia use a graduated tax. Your income would be taxed on your annual income.

Tax rates would increase as income increases. The legislature doesn’t even need to write their own laws, as they can copy tax code from any of the majority of states that use this system.

After all, Scott, you do want to be like all those other states.

Steve Ramsdell Shorewood

STUPIDITY OR TREASON?

To the Editor: Forty-seven Republican senators have signed a letter siding with the terrorist wing of Iran. Its aim is to sabotage the negotiation five countries are having with Iran over their nuclear program.

Do the senators really believe what the letter says; I don’t know. It is another case of politics and fundraising, not doing what is best for their country. When their billionaire masters tell them to jump, they jump, then think about how much do I get.

The other four countries have voiced concern and wonderment at the “sabotaging” (German opinion) of the talks. Even Russia is amazed at them. Only the Iranian and American far-right-wingers have come out in support of the latter and its signers.

Seven Republican senators either have good sense or were wisely out of town when the letter was passed around.

Those seven may be the patriots of the former GOP and not the do-whatever-it-takes-toget-re-elected party of today.

Every time we have slapped Iran with new sanctions, they have put thousands of new centrifuges on line.

Netanyahu has been saying Iran will have the bomb in five years since 1996. Israel told us to bomb a powdered milk factory once, now they want us to start a war with Iran.

Yes, stupidity or treason is the question.

Chuck Johnson Morris

• BRAZILE

Continued from page 34 McConnell isn’t even attempting a pretense that his stalling of Lynch’s nomination has anything to do with her qualifications, which are sterling. Instead, it’s about immigration and abortion politics and Republicans having their way by force.

The Senate Judiciary Committee confirmed Lynch in a 12-8 vote on Feb. 26. Three Republicans voted for her.

One, Sen. Orrin Hatch of Utah, stated, “The case against her nomination ... essentially ignores her professional career, and focuses solely on [her testimony]. I do not believe that is a proper way to evaluate any nominee’s fitness for any position.”

Yes, Lynch testified that she is in favor of the president’s executive action on immigration policy to protect 4 million immigrants here illegally and issue work permits. But that shouldn’t be a surprise. It would be more of a surprise if a president’s nominee openly disagreed with him on a policy matter.

Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., the ranking Judiciary member, noted McConnell had allowed a vote on four executive nominations during the debate on the abortion rider, so the argument that the abortion amendment must be taken care of first rings “hollow.”

By holding up a nomination to such a critical federal agency, we are playing the old game of chicken. Which side will back down and who will do it first?

There’s no reason to use our national security to force upon the country one’s hyperpartisan and hardline views on the federal budget or immigration or abortion rights.

It’s time Sen. McConnell scheduled a vote. And it’s time the Senate confirmed Loretta Lynch.

To the Editor: Mr. Reeder’s latest attack on Illinois pensions reminds me of Pinocchio: Every time he lied, his nose grew. Mr. Reeder’s must be enormous by now.

He states that 1 of 10 Illinois state workers makes more that $100,000. A short, quick search produced the facts: The State Journal-Register lists the average salaries for state employees, only one department had averages salaries over $100,000, Circuit Judges.

Even ReBoot Illinois, a mouthpiece for employers, lists only 8 percent of state workers earning more than $100.000. The average salary for state workers in Illinois is $56,000 (PayScale.com).

The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, from 20002008, found that Illinois state workers made 12.5 percent less than comparable private sector workers. Bloomberg reported that total compensation is 6.8 percent lower, and the pay gap is growing.

State workers are better educated than private sector workers, with 50-plus percent having bachelor’s degrees, compared to 30 percent for the private sector.

So, we clearly get more bang for the buck!

The state’s pension problems are not the result of “overly generous” pension plans, but the failure of the state to live up to its obligations to its employees.

The Commission on Government Forecasting and Accountability found from 19962008, the state’s pension debt grew by $35.6 billion. Of that, $30.3 million (85 percent) was not attributable to employees; and 53 percent of that number represents the state’s failure to pay its share into the pensions.

Another little fact: 78 percent of teachers, university teachers and school employees do not qualify for Social Security, so their pensions are their only source of retirement

income.

If constitutional protections are so easily changeable, then what can happened to the freedom of religion or the right to bear arms? The situation can be solved. The state needs more money. A graduated income tax would produce much needed revenues without placing an undue burden on most of the state’s taxpayers.

BOYS BASKETBALL – CLASS 4A STATE THIRD-PLACE GAME: BOLINGBROOK 63, GENEVA 42

By DICK GOSS dgoss@shawmedia.com

• Sunday, March 22, 2015

PEORIA – The finish was more like it.

The Bolingbrook boys basketball team was disappointed in Friday night’s result, a 63-43 loss to Stevenson in the semifinals of the Class 4A State Tournament at the Civic Center.

After trailing Geneva, 19-15, at halftime of the third-place game Saturday night, the Raiders decided enough was enough. They exploded for 48 points after the break, when they hit 10 of 16 shots and 25 of their 33 free throw attempts, to claim a 63-42 victory.

“I sat in the room last night and thought about the game against Stevenson,” Bolingbrook all-state guard Prentiss Nixon said. “We were right there with them late in the first half, and we were going against a kid [Jalen Brunson] some say is the No. 1 player in the country. I was really disappointed in how we played in the second half.

“I told the guys if we came out tonight and played OK, we would be fine. We didn’t really play well the first half, but we had a tremendous second half.”

Bolingbrook’s third-place finish is the best for a school in the immediate Joliet area since Lockport won the 1978 Class AA state championship.

The Raiders never had been to the state finals.

“It’s a little ironic because we’ve lost some games in the past on free throw shooting,” said Raiders coach Rob Brost, whose team finished 25-7 and won 19 of its last 21 games. “I was joking with our coaches that sometime along the way, free throws would win us a game, and they did tonight.”

Bolingbrook applied fullcourt in the second half against Geneva (30-5), which starts a 6-foot-8, 300-pound center along with two 6-7 forwards and brings players 6-8 and 6-5 off the bench for significant minutes. The Raiders forced nine second-half turnovers and outscored the Vikings, 4823, after the break.

Bolingbrook’s Prentiss Nixon (right) and Geneva’s Pace Temple go after a loose ball during the Class 4A third-place game Saturday at the Peoria Civic Center in Peoria. Bolingbrook won, 63-42, to help secure the best finish in school history.

“I love the way we responded in the second half,” Brost said. “We really wanted to push the ball and speed them up all night. It didn’t work to our advantage in the first half.

But then in the second half, we turned them over a couple of times and took the ball to the basket.”

“Coach got on us at halftime,” Bolingbrook senior forward Dimitri Akenten said. “At halftime he told us he knew we could play better than that. He said we weren’t having fun. We went out in the second half and executed our plays.”

Nixon survived a rugged night from a physical standpoint to finish with 15 points.

The stats sheet shows no assists, but he set up teammates going to the basket on several occasions in the second half.

They were fouled and made one or both free throws.

Nixon took a hit to the head

and had to leave the court for a minute at the end of the third quarter. He returned with 6:17 left and Bolingbrook leading, 39-31.

With 4:38 to go, the Raiders’ 6-foot-9, 250-pound Julian Torres and Geneva’s 6-8, 300-pound Loudon Love-Vollbrecht wrestled on the floor for a rebound, and players from both sides moved in as a fight nearly began. In the mayhem, a Geneva player tossed Nixon to the floor.

Love-Vollbrecht was ejected, and Nixon made both free throws on the technical.

“Coach just told me to keep my composure,” Torres said.

“They brought one big guy after another out there tonight. I just had to be me.”

Akenten finished with 10 points and seven rebounds.

Brodric Thomas scored nine, Devon Sams had seven to go with three assists and Torres chipped in five points and six

rebounds. Thomas had four and Sams three of Bolingbrook’s 11 steals.

Sophomore Nana Akenten came off the bench and scored five points, all in the first half.

No other Raider scored more than two in the opening half.

SEMIFINAL

The end of the first half and the beginning of the second half often is said to be the most important time in an athletic event. It definitely was Friday night when Stevenson erased Bolingbrook’s title hopes, 63-43.

“This game came down to the last minute of the second quarter and the first three minutes of the third quarter,” Brost said.

Brost was hit with a technical foul with 4:33 left in the second quarter, the first of his eight-year career. Brunson, the All-American, hit the two free throws to stretch Stevenson’s lead to 19-14.

The Raiders, however, went on a 7-0 run to go ahead, 21-19, with just over a minute left in the half on Prentiss Nixon’s 3-pointer. Bolingbrook got the ball back but a missed 3-pointer and then committed a costly turnover. Just like that, Stevenson was up, 26-21, at the break.

The half ended when Brunson, rated one of the best high school guards in the nation, dunked at the buzzer after a Raiders turnover. Before that, Brunson, who came in averaging 23.1 points, had been 0 of 9 from the floor and had a mere four points from the free throw line.

The third quarter was a nightmare for Bolingbrook.

The Raiders hit 1 of 12 shots, scored four points and committed six of their 21 turnovers as they fell behind, 44-25.

BONUS COVERAGE: BOLINGBROOK BOYS BASKETBALL

Seniors proud to have helped make history

By CURT HERRON cherron@shawmedia.com PEORIA – The perfect way to complete a special season is to end it on a high note.

The Bolingbrook’s boys basketball team did just that by finishing with 48 points in the second half to rally for a 63-42 victory over Geneva in Saturday’s Class 4A third-place game at Civic Center.

One day after falling to Stevenson in the semifinals, the Raiders capped their best season ever by turning in the top showing by a Joliet-area team in the large school tournament since Lockport’s 1978 undefeated championship.

After falling behind 19-15 at the break against the Vikings, coach Rob Brost’s squad used a 20-9 spurt in the third quarter before going on a 28-14 run in the final period.

Although the Raiders graduate several outstanding seniors, they figure to return nine of the 15 players next season. They all gained valuable experience during the two days, with 12 players scoring points in Saturday’s finale.

“It’s amazing to be a part of school history by being the best team to ever play at Bolingbrook High School,” senior Brodric Thomas said. “I have to give it to my teammates because they helped me with everything, and we came together as a team. We knew from the beginning of the year that we would be our greatest team.

“We probably put too much pressure on ourselves yesterday. But we came together as a team today and started moving the ball and having fun. I’ll remember being part of this team for the rest of my life.”

Lathan Goumas – lgoumas@shawmedia.com

The Raiders started the season 6-5 but went on a roll and finished with a 25-7 mark to go well beyond the school’s previous-best, the 1985 team, which lost in the Sweet Sixteen.

“I had a great time being able to be down here with my brothers,” senior Julian Torres said. “These last four years have been a great run for me, and I wanted to end the last high school game of my career with a ‘W’ and that’s what I did.

have easily folded after yesterday, but we picked ourselves up.”

As is often the case with successful teams, having a closeknit group that believed that it could accomplishment something special proved to be the difference.

“We had a great team and had fun and played together,” senior Dimitri Akenten said.

“We kept our faith up and kept fighting and made a lot of people proud and proved a lot of people wrong. It’s a great feel-

ing to be our first team to come to state and then take third. We knew this was our last ride, so we had to give it our all. We were a family. It was amazing to be on a team like this, especially in my last year.”

Although the squad would have wanted to be in the championship game, they had no regrets about claiming third place and setting a new standard at their school.

“This was great,” senior Prentiss Nixon said. “It’s been a long four years, and we’ve been

through rough ups and downs, so it’s great to finish it out as the No. 3 team in the state.

We’re bringing a trophy back to Bolingbrook, and we’re the best team in school history. It’s not what we wanted, but it’s still a great accomplishment for us.

“After a rough first half, we played how we know how to, we played to our potential. This was a special team and you may never find another group like this around the state or in Bolingbrook. I’m glad that I was able to be a part of it.”

He hit 4 of 15 shots, including 2 of 8 from 3-point range, and had 11 points. He managed only three points in the second half, including a strong dunk early in the fourth quarter.

“We got some open jump shots, we just weren’t knocking them down,” Nixon said of the Raiders shooting an un-

characteristic number of air balls.

“This wasn’t any different than the supersectional or the sectional championship.

Being down five at half was nothing. We’ve been there before. But we came out in the third quarter and executed poorly.”

Torres led the Raiders with 12 points and 12 rebounds. He hit all eight of his free throw attempts.

After Nixon’s 11 points, Dimitri Akenten was next in line for Bolingbrook with five points but was limited to 13 minutes because of foul trouble.

BOYS BASKETBALL: CLASS 4A STATE SEMIFINAL – STEVENSON 63, BOLINGBROOK 43

Bolingbrook’s Devon Sams tries to steal the ball from Stevenson’s Jalen Brunson during a Class 4A state semifinal game Friday at the Civic Center in Peoria.

IHSA state basketball tournaments to stay in Peoria, Normal PEORIA (AP) – The Illinois High School Association said it will keep the boys state basketball tournament in Peoria and the girls tournament in Normal for at least the next five years.

The IHSA made the announcement Saturday, saying it has built “strong traditions in Normal and Peoria.”

The boys tournaments have been played at Peoria’s Carver Arena since 1996. The girls games have been hosted by Illinois State’s

Redbird Arena in Normal since 1992.

The IHSA received competing proposals to host all or part of the boys tournaments from the State Farm Center at the University of Illinois in Champaign and the Sears Centre in Hoffman Estates.

Bradley University’s Renaissance Coliseum in Peoria sought to host the girls state finals.

The new contracts will run from 2016 until 2020.

because he’s so good at using his body against yours, and that’s how he gets to the lane.

“So we really wanted to give him a little space and still contest jumpers but not get up into his body. That was the plan and I thought we did that very, very well. That part of it was executed almost to perfection.”

Prentiss Nixon, who scored 11 points but was frustrated by the Patriots defensively and made 4 of his 15 shots, talked about the challenges in facing a player

like Brunson.

“No matter who you go up against, whether they’re ranked or not, you still have to go out and play defense on them and force them to do things they don’t like to do,” Nixon said.

“In the first half, we did a better job of that. He got a little frustrated at times and we kind of capitalized on that, but in the second half we kind of got away from it. Jalen is a great player, and when he gets in the open court, he can do a lot of things.”

PEORIA – Westchester St. Joseph withstood a Belleville Althoff second-half rally to win the Class 3A boys basketball state title.

All-state guard Glynn Watson scored 19 points, Nick Rakovecic added 18 points and Joffery Brown chipped in 15 points in the Chargers’ 67-63 victory on Saturday at the Civic Center.

The Chargers (29-6) led by 11 early in the second half but the Crusaders (28-4) slowly chipped away and trailed by three with just more than two minutes left.

But St. Joseph forced two steals on consecutive possessions, turning both into buckets to extend the lead and hold on for the win.

The victory gives head coach Gene Pingatore his second title in his 46th season leading the Chargers.

Althoff’s all-state guard Jordan Goodwin led all players with 23 points and 12 rebounds.

Morgan Park 87, Rockford Lutheran 56: At Peoria, Jarrin Randall scored 34 points, including 10 3-pointers, as Morgan Park beat Rockford Lutheran to take third place in Class 3A. Randall set the Class 3A tournament record for 3s in a game and tied the all-time mark. The Mustangs (23-7) hit 18 3-pointers, easily another record.

Charlie Moore added 17 points, nine rebounds and six assists. Morgan Park’s allstate guard Marcus LoVett was limited to eight points a day after scoring 45 points in a semifinal loss.

LoVett did hand out eight assists and Jamal Burton added 12 points for Morgan Park.

Alonzo Chapman had 12 rebounds for the Mustangs.

Nate Wieting led the Crusaders (29-4) with 17 points and Joe Kellen added 11 points. The Crusaders hit 11 3-pointers.

PEORIA – One of the biggest challenges Bolingbrook’s boys basketball team faced in Friday’s Class 4A semifinal game with Stevenson was trying to slow down Jalen Brunson.

That figured to be easier said than done considering the Villanova-bound Brunson is one of the best point guards in the country and a finalist for national player of the year honors.

But to the Raiders’ credit, they kept the dangerous Brunson frustrated throughout most of the initial three quarters of play.

However, as the 6-foot-2 senior guard made only 1 of 13 shots while turning the ball over five times in a little more than two-and-a-half quarters, Bolingbrook was unable to capitalize.

The Raiders saw a 21-19 lead late in the opening half turn into a 39-22 advantage for the Patriots with just over three minutes remaining in the third quarter as Brunson’s teammates rose to the occasion.

The talented guard, who scored 56 points in last year’s semifinal loss to eventual champion Whitney Young, did get hot after the break, especially at the free throw line, where he hit 13 of 14 tries for the game to finish with a game-high 21 points.

In the final half, Stevenson showed why it’s placed at state the past two seasons and arrived in Peoria as the favorite to win the Class 4A championship as it went on to capture a 63-43 win over the Raiders. Brunson made good on 4 of 18 shots and missed all seven of his 3-point tries while turning the ball over six times. But Connor Cashaw had 14 points and 12 rebounds and Justin Smith added 11 points to lift Stevenson its 14th win in its last 15 games.

“We did a good job on him, for the most part,” Raiders coach Rob Brost said of trying to stop Brunson. “But then, we had to foul him, and he’s obviously a very, very good free throw shooter so he ends up with 20-plus points.”

In the opening 16 minutes, Brunson missed his first nine shots before making a slam just before the buzzer to give his team a 26-21 halftime advantage.

The Raiders’ coach explained what his team’s strategy was against a player who came in averaging 23.1 points a game who had scored 25 or more on 12 occasions.

“We just wanted to keep him in front and make him shoot contested jumpers,” Brost said. “When he gets to the lane, it’s curtains for you because he’s so good with the ball, so we wanted to contest jumpers. We didn’t really want to body him on the perimeter, either,

PREP BASEBALL: PLAINFIELD NORTH 11, MORRIS 0 (5 INN.)

Strepek, Vanek combine for no-hitter

By ROB OESTERLE roesterle@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – It’s hard to start a season better than Plainfield North’s baseball team did Friday.

The Tigers, ranked sixth in the state by Prep Baseball Report, lived up to their billing by thumping Morris, 11-0 in five innings, behind the no-hit pitching of Kyle Strepek and Matt Vanek. Strepek worked the first four innings, allowing a walk and hitting a batter while striking out seven.

Vanek had two strikeouts in his one perfect inning of relief.

“To be honest, I didn’t know we had a no-hitter until after the game,” Plainfield North coach John Darlington said. “I remember Morris had a couple of guys on, so I guess I assumed they had a hit in there somewhere.”

Those are the guys we expect to do well. We have a lot of guys back this year, but for a few of our guys, this was their first varsity game.

“That lefty that Morris threw [Walker] is talented and is going to win a lot of games this year. He throws hard and has a nice curveball. We just hope we can continue to work hard like we’ve been doing and have a good season.”

Coach believes strong core of seniors will help team get over the hump in the postseason

Close won’t be good enough for Knights

By STEVE MILLAR Shaw Media Correspondent NEW LENOX – Coach Jeff Tarala’s Lincoln-Way Central softball team has come awfully close to some big postseason wins over the Past two years.

Last season, the Knights battled Lincoln-Way East – which went on to finish fourth in the state in Class 4A – in a regional final before falling, 4-3.

“We gave them the game of their life,” Tarala said.

It was a nearly identical story two years ago, with Central’s season ending in a 4-3 regional semifinal loss to Lincoln-Way North.

This year, Tarala isn’t going to be satisfied with just coming close.

“We expect to win those games this year,” he said.

“With no disrespect to the teams from the past two years, I didn’t know if we had the

pieces in place to win a regional title or compete for a conference title. I truly we feel we do have that this year.”

Part of the reason for optimism for the Knights, who finished 16-16 a year ago, is their experience.

Tarala has a strong core of seniors, including second baseman Jackie Farbak (.459 average, 5 home runs last year), catcher Colleen McLaughlin (.395), center fielder Nicole Rote (.389, 29 RBIs) and first baseman Bree Schultz.

“There’s a lot of us that have been playing together for four years,” Schultz said. “We have a lot of leaders. We definitely have a lot of experience playing together and that’ll help us a lot to know each other’s tendencies and play together as a team.”

“We expect big things from those girls,” Tarala said. “We have good leadership and we

With a strong senior class leading the way, Tarala hopes to contend for conference and regional crowns. have a lot of experience playing in games. That’s going to help us a lot.”

Senior pitcher Melanie Bakotic is in her third year as a varsity hurler. A pitcher with that much experience is a lux-

ury, Tarala knows.

“It’s absolutely huge,” he said. “Melanie’s very savvy, she understands the game, she knows what to do out there and she has immense talent.

She just has to put it all together.”

Junior Naidelyn Medina (.378, 29 runs) is a two-time All-SouthWest Suburban Red player who can be used in the infield or outfield. Junior Natalie Campbell is a speedy leadoff hitter.

Put all those pieces together and the Knights feel they can beat teams in multiple ways this spring.

“I think this year we’re going to have a lot of big hitters and we’re also going to have people who can play small ball and move people around,” Farbak said. “I think having both is going to help us score a lot of runs. I have high hopes this season. I think we’re going to

go far.”

Tarala also IS excited about the offensive versatility.

“In the past, we’ve been an all-or-nothing team, so to speak,” he said. “We haven’t been able to manufacture runs and it seems like we have the pieces in place to be able to do that better this year. Before it was just like, ‘Are we going to get a big home run here?’ That can be great, but it can be a problem, also.”

The ability to play small ball should help the Knights in close games. After all, manufacturing a couple extra runs could have been enough for them to win those close regional contests the past two years.

“I always tell the girls we’ve been on the cusp of turning the corner,” Tarala said. “I think this an important year for us to get there. These seniors are going to be the ones who get us there.”

“We are going to lean on our pitching staff this year,” Douglas said of the experienced pitching duo. “We have some strong pitchers who are going to keep us in games.”

Romeoville also will look to sophomore second baseman Jenessa Diaz and senior first baseman Stephanie Bird for quality offensive and defensive contributions. The rest of the Romeoville roster is loaded with underclassmen ready to

“We are young, but versatile,” Douglas said. “We have tons of utility players who are strong both offensively and defensively. Now, we have to work on the mental part of the game.”

Romeoville lost its last seven SPC games in 2014 and finished 3-11.

“Team chemistry seems to be great right now,” Douglas said of the meshing between the upper and underclassmen.

“We do team building exercises to assist with that.

SPRING TRAINING REPORT: PROVIDENCE BASEBALL

By TIM CRONIN Shaw Media Correspondent

• Sunday, March 22, 2015

NEW LENOX – The Providence Catholic baseball team will have to take a different approach if it wants to make a repeat run at the Class 4A state title.

Nineteen seniors graduated, and 21 newcomers are in their place.

“Technically, we have five starters back, but depthwise, we’re extremely young,” Celtics coach Mark Smith said.

“Young on the mound and a couple key positions. You can say we’re defending, but this is a brand new team. It’s a different group of kids for the most part. We know we’ve got our work cut out.

“It’s all new.”

Smith calls this year’s team “talented but very wet behind the ears.”

He can build out from the infield, where on a given day, Brent Villasenor (7-1 last season) will be on the mound, Justin Hunniford will be at first base, Zach Pych will be at third and Mike Madej will handle either second or shortstop, while Jackson Stulas could well be in the other slot. And if Hunniford (5-1 in 2014) is on the mound, Smith has other combinations he can play with.

There, however, is the heart of the returning experience for Providence. And after center fielder Matt Diehl and catcher Jim Jeffries, Smith will be searching for the right mix on a day-to-day basis. But he knows he has time.

“I’ve told them everything from now to the end of May is preparation for the postseason,” Smith said.

The Celtics dropped their last three games before the state playoffs started, including a pair of shutouts and 10-0 and 10-4 losses, and entered with a 21-14 record.

NCAA TOURNAMENT ROUNDUP

Villanova is first No. 1 seed to fall The ASSOCIATED PRESS

PITTSBURGH – Villanova went from a top seed to No. 1-and-done.

N.C. State is back in the Sweet 16, attacking one of the top teams in the nation for 40 minutes and stunning Villanova, 71-68, on Saturday night in the East Region. The Wolfpack went wild as the final horn sounded and danced around the court in celebration.

No, it wasn’t quite Jim Valvano’s mad dash after the Wolfpack won the 1983 national championship. But the Wolfpack (22-13) have designs on their own big March run. They will move on to Syracuse, New York, to play the winner of the Louisville-Northern Iowa game.

N.C. State guards Cat Barber and Desmond Lee shared a long embrace after the buzzer.

Barber pounded his chest and said, “all heart!”

Trevor Lacey led them with 17 points and Barber had 13, each coming with big buckets to hold off a late Villanova charge.

Joliet neighbors are hobby breeders and toymakers

By DENISE M. BARAN–UNLAND dunland@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Hobbyist bird breeders Cindy McFadden and Kim Krol of Joliet were both introduced to the joys of raising birds through an invitation to attend a bird fair/sale at the Knights of Columbus #382 in Joliet.

In both cases, McFadden and Krol quickly acquired birds. Today, these neighbors own KCtoys, which sells handcrafted bird toys. They are also hobby breeders, which comes with a distinct advantage – pairing the right bird with the right owner.

“We won’t sell if we don’t believe it will be a good fit,” Krol said.

At a March 29 fair/sale – again at the Knights of Columbus – McFadden and Krol won’t have any of their handfed birds, but they will have a dozen of Krol’s finches and plenty of their signature toys.

In addition, McFadden and Krol will answer questions on the process of breeding, hand-feeding, raising and adopting companion birds.

The biggest advantage to owing a hand-fed bird, McFadden said, is that they make wonderful companion pets.

They have had constant human contact starting as baby birds, before their eyes even open.

“Their first sight is us and they relate to us, which is a good thing. We become the surrogate mom, so to speak,” she said. “This way, as the babies get older, they love humans because that is all they know.”

It was really the toys that led the neighbors into bird breeding. McFadden has a 7-year-old lovebird named Mehoo and Krol has a 4-year-old conure named Fuzzy. McFadden’s husband Bob Childers also has a 6-year-old rescue

If you go What: Bird Fair/Sale.

When: 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. March 29 Where: Knights of Columbus #382, 100 S. Infantry Drive, Joliet Cost: $3. Children under age 8 are free.

Contact: KCtoys on Facebook or kctoys@sbcglobal.net cockatoo named Rocky.

When McFadden and Krol first obtained their birds, they needed toys to keep those birds amused.

But toys are expensive, so they decided to craft their own from beads, sticks, playing cards, treat cups and miniature fold-up boxes. They quickly learned the materials their birds enjoyed were cheaper in bulk, so decided to find some way to share the fun toys with other birds.

Soon, McFadden and Krol also wanted to share the joys of owning birds with others.

“The finches I raise have such a soothing little chirp, very calming. It’s similar to watching fish in a tank,” Krol said. “We don’t hand-feed the finches because they are so tiny and that would be tricky, and they’re not a bird that would come out and play with you. The birds Cindy handfeeds, those are snuggly.”

Hand-feeding a baby bird requires the same commitment as feeding any baby.

Some species eat every 15 minutes during the first days of life, so McFadden usually assumes dinner duty around the two-week mark, when the time between meals has stretched to three hours.

But feeding is more than getting food into the bird, she said. The commercial food for hand-fed birds must be mixed, heated – and then cooled – to just the right temperature.

The two raise and hand-feed birds as well as hand-craft and sell bird toys. BELOW: Krol explains how she and McFadden carefully make all of their bird toys by hand. “Our toys are feather-friendly and bird-tested,” Krol said.

“If the food is too cold, a lump will form in their throats and they could asphyxiate,” McFadden said.

The birds must also be petted and rubbed around the neck during the feeding and then cleaned up afterward, McFadden said. Feeding one bird takes about 20 minutes and up to 35 for several, she added.

“It’s a big responsibility,” McFadden said. “You have to do it because you love it.”

McFadden realized the value of backup, which she now has, during her first hand-feeding experience. Two days after she brought home parrotlets, she came down with pneumonia.

“No matter how sick I was, I had to get up and feed the babies or they would die,” McFadden said.

When the birds are four weeks old, McFadden adds crispy rice cereal – and then sunflower meats – to the feed so the birds can practice crunching. By now, the birds eat about once every four hours and McFadden waits until they cry for food before serving it up.

“Even when I no longer feed them with a syringe, I wait at least another week to make sure they are not losing weight before I adopt them out,” McFadden said.

One reason McFadden and Krol won’t have hand-fed birds at the March 29 bird fair/sale is that they only breed their birds two to three times a year. Krol said over-breeding leaches calcium from the birds’ bones and shortens their lifespans.

Krol keeps most of the cages and birds at her house, while McFadden cares for the hand-feds. McFadden even brings them to work with her at Burgo Pest Control in Joliet (which McFadden said she owns), where they hang out in homemade incubators.

“I even have a traveling incubator that I plug into my cigarette lighter,” McFadden said.

It’s all worth it when McFadden and Krol see their birds and new owners bond, like the child that adopted one of McFadden’s lovebirds.

“Watching the face of the child and how the bird interacted made me feel good,” McFadden said.

New Lenox artist’s work in Sculpture Walk THE HERALD–NEWS NEW LENOX – “Living Sculpture,” created by New Lenox artist Jason Verbeek, was selected to be one of 15 sculptures in the inaugural year of Sculpture Walk Peoria 2015.

“Living Sculpture” is a steel shell that stands like a balancing seed – it is surrounded and supporting a culture of sedum plants of varying species and colors, all hearty and succulent.

For over 25 years, Ver-

beek shaped the way one views constructed environments by creating art for exhibition in public areas.

He uses earthy colors and reclaimed materials to create sculptures that blend into and complement the natural environments in which they are placed.

Verbeek is an expert welder and fabricator whose craft has expanded while working for an ecological excavation company.

His hybrid skill set allows him to fully explore and

challenge himself to combine multiple elements into unique forms and of self-sufficient organic-inorganic works of art.

In preparation for the opening weekend of Sculpture Walk Peoria on June 6, the SWP committee is currently arranging several opportunities for the public to meet the artists, including Verbeek.

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

Christmas competition – the best entries

CELEBRITY CIPHER

There was a larger entry than usual for my Christmas Competition.

Interestingly, the majority erred slightly in the declarer-play problem. They correctly went for either a 3-2 club split or the diamond finesse, but omitted to cash the club ace first, which gains when either opponent has a singleton king. That is unlikely, but it cannot cost to try.

A few people played for a squeeze, most stating that they thought they would be able to read the end-position.

The main snag is that when there is no squeeze, they are down to the diamond finesse.

The best entry came from Bruce Perry of Riverview, New Brunswick.

Congratulations.

Others who got the first question right are listed on my website: phillipalderbridge.com.

Now let’s look at today’s deal. How should East plan the defense against four spades after West leads the heart king?

With ace-doubleton, East must overtake his partner’s king with the ace. (Note that if East does not win the first trick, the contract becomes unbeatable.) Then, East’s best play is to cash the diamond ace before returning his second heart. Here, the defenders will take one diamond and three hearts to defeat the contract.

If East immediately leads back his second heart, what should he do at trick three when West cashes his heart queen?

East could discard the diamond jack, screaming for a diamond shift (which is a far better play than pitching a discouraging club three). But much more fun is to trump his partner’s trick and to cash the diamond ace.

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff been antibiotics. But as the problem of antibiotic resistance has grown, doctors have been experimenting with another approach. They are filling the gut with the bacteria that are C. diff’s normal competitors. They’re treating bad bacteria with large numbers of good bacteria.

The good bacteria are abundant in feces.

Transplants of fecal material (poop) from a healthy donor are placed into the intestine of the person who is ill. As originally used, fecal transplants have been, frankly, rather unpleasant. Fresh stool from a healthy donor has been thinned, and then either pumped into a tube threaded through a patient’s nose and into their intestine, or given in the form of an enema (a liquid injected into the rectum).

Now there’s an easier way to deliver the dose: poop pills. Researchers at Harvard-affiliated Massachusetts General Hospital have used capsules containing frozen fecal extracts from healthy people to successfully treat diarrhea caused by C. diff.

Disgusting as it sounds, the donor feces are processed so only bacteria remains in the pill. The pill that is swallowed is clean and odorless. It is, essentially, a probiotic pill. And its protective gel cover does not dissolve until it is deep in the digestive tract.

Hopefully, the clean and odorless poop pill will prove as effective as the original ways of delivering good bacteria into the gut. They weren’t pretty, but they worked.

Dear Doctor K: I overheard a colleague talking about “poop pills” used to treat diarrhea. That can’t be right. Can it?

Dear Reader: Yes, “poop” means what you think it means. Same thing as “doo-doo.” It’s gross, but it’s true. So-called “poop pills” are being used to treat diarrhea caused by bacteria called Clostridium difficile, or “C. diff.”

Let me explain.

Our intestines are filled with many different kinds of bacteria. Most live happily there; they don’t invade or attack the intestine that is their home. C. diff bacteria live in our guts, but in low numbers – low because other bacteria in the intestine out-compete them for nutrients.

So far, so good. The problem starts with antibiotic treatment.

Every antibiotic is good at killing some types of bacteria, while having no effect on other types. A doctor chooses a particular antibiotic based on the type of bacterial infection that is being treated.

Many people are hospitalized for infections, such as pneumonia or urinary tract infections. Most of the antibiotics used to kill these infections also kill bacteria in the gut that compete with C. diff. However, they often don’t kill C. diff. This leaves a void that allows C. diff to multiply. Once it takes hold in the gut, C. diff creates toxins that cause diarrhea, fever, abdominal pain and inflammation that can be life-threatening.

Treatment of C. diff begins by stopping the antibiotic that triggered it in the first place. If that doesn’t work, the doctor prescribes one of a handful of antibiotics that specifically kill C. diff.

But C. diff is becoming increasingly resistant to antibiotics.

Ever since the discovery of penicillin, the obvious treatment for bacterial infections has

Real Life Adventures

Dear Thinking: The only person who can divert your brother from his self-destructive path is himself.

Because your attempts at helping him have all failed, recognize that although he refuses getting professional help, it doesn’t mean you shouldn’t avail yourself of it.

You appear to be a kind, loving and generous sister who has been taken advantage of for a long time, and it may very well take the help of a mental health professional to help you separate from your twin. Please consider it, because the sooner you do, the sooner you will begin to feel better.

Dear Abby: Three years

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips ago I was laid off from my job and fell into hard times.

As a last resort, I moved back in with my parents and got a job at a retail store.

Over the last three years, I have paid off many of my bills and repaired my credit. I’m now saving for a new car, looking for a higher-paying job and searching for a roommate to share an apartment. My parents say my siblings and I are always welcome, that we should move out when we are ready and come back if we need to.

I have met a lot of judgmental people along the way who assume I want to “live with my parents forever and remain a child” when they learn I live with them. My family takes care of one another and does not abandon anyone once they have reached a certain age.

What do I say to people who want to advise or admonish me about something that is none of their business? –

Still An Adult

Dear Still: Since you asked for my two cents, allow me to contribute. I don’t know what kind of people you have been spending time with, but someone who would have the gall to “advise and admonish” you because of the living arrangement you have with your parents is beyond rude. You shouldn’t feel compelled to defend it or offer any explanations.

Frankly, I think you should avoid these people.

Dear Abby: My twin brother is an alcoholic and homeless. He has never held a job. Although we have drifted apart, he still contacts me when he needs money, guilt trips me about not having a place to go, and once even faked a drug overdose to get my attention. I have helped him many times, but he always goes back to his old ways.

My heart breaks for him, and the thought of him not having a place to go worries me. I have a family of my own to support and care for.

He has shown no gratitude for what I have done to help him, and he insists nobody cares about him. He threatens suicide and won’t get help for his alcohol abuse.

My fiance refuses to allow me to help him anymore. I feel helpless and exhausted. I’m tired of constantly worrying about him and letting him make me feel guilty for the life he has chosen. Other relatives will have nothing to do with him. He refuses getting professional help. Please tell me what to do. – Thinking
