Feds: Chicago-area cousins planned U.S. terrorist attack

By BOB OKON bokon@shawmedia.com and MICHAEL TARM The Associated Press JOLIET – An Illinois Army National Guard soldier who lived in Aurora and had been based at the Joliet Armory planned a terrorist attack at a facility where he had trained, federal prosecutors said Thursday.

The targeted location was only identified in a federal complaint as a U.S. military facility in northern Illinois. Lt. Col. Brad Leighton, a spokesman for the Illinois National Guard, would not specify where the alleged targeted military installation was.

Leighton did say Spc. Hasan R. Edmonds primarily trained at the Joliet Armory and noted that the unit occasionally also trained at a facility in Marseilles.

“Joliet was the main area where he would train,” Leighton said. “Primarily, they would train at the armory.”

Leighton said the Illinois National Guard was informed of a federal investigation into a member of Golf Company 634th Brigade Support Battalion, which is based in Joliet.

Edmonds had vowed to bring “the flames of war to the heart” of America if he was unable to get to the Middle East to join the Islamic State group, federal prosecutors said Thursday in announcing the arrest of Edmonds, 22, and his cousin, Jonas M. Edmonds, 29.

Jonas Edmonds bragged that he could kill at least 150 people in a terrorist attack in the U.S., prosecutors said.

Both suspects lived in Aurora and are U.S. citizens.

Arrests made Wednesday

Hasan Edmonds was arrested Wednesday night at Midway International Airport while trying to board a plane for the first leg of a journey that eventually would take him to Egypt. Jonas Edmonds was arrested earlier that day at his home, the U.S. attorney’s office in Chicago said in a statement.

Jonas Edmonds planned to carry out an attack in the

ON THE COVER

In this courtroom sketch, Jonas M. Edmonds (left) and Hasan R. Edmonds (right) stand in front of an FBI agent Thursday as they appear at a hearing at federal court in Chicago after their arrests Wednesday on charges of conspiring with the Islamic State group. Hasan Edmonds, an Illinois Army National Guard soldier, and his cousin, Jonas Edmonds, are both U.S. citizens from Aurora.

U.S. after his cousin left the country, according to the complaint.

The complaint gives details of a meeting between the Edmonds and an unidentified FBI employee where they discussed an attack that would include AK47s and grenades at a military installation.

Jonas Edmonds said he anticipated a body count of 100 to 150. Hasan Edmonds “corrected [him] and advised that the number would be closer to 120” and offered to provide a list of “rankings,” the complaint states.

On Tuesday, the three of them drove to the installation and discussed “how to conduct an attack,” the complaint states. The discussion included where soldiers trained at the installation.

“Hasan Edmonds described the inside of the installation and which rooms they should avoid during the attack,” the complaint states. “Hasan Edmonds also entered the installation and retrieved a military training schedule, which he then gave to Jonas Edmonds.”

Jonas Edmonds asked the FBI undercover employee to assist in the attack, according to a news release from the FBI, and “explained that they would use Hasan Edmonds’ uniforms and the information

he supplied about how to access the installation and target officers for attack.”

Leighton said Hasan Edmonds was a member of the Illinois National Guard unit since August 2011. He had never been deployed overseas.

Leighton would not discuss specific security measures put in place at the Joliet Armory in light of Edmonds’ arrest.

“There has been responsible action taken to protect our soldiers and their families,” he said. “A lot of our soldiers live in that area, too. We’re part of the community.”

Suspects made Thursday court appearances

Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner said Thursday that Adjunct General Daniel M. Krumrei and Illinois Public Safety Director Rodger Heaton briefed him about an investigation on Wednesday. He provided no further details.

“On behalf of all citizens of Illinois, I thank all the members of our National Guard as well as the FBI for protecting our state and defending our country,” Rauner said in the brief statement.

Chief Brian Benton said Joliet police were not involved

COVER STORY

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – As a chef, Eric Lara takes inspiration from his mother.

Lara, a Joliet Central High School senior, saw one meal inspired by his mom make it to the final round of a seven-month long culinary arts project for Joliet high school students.

The sandwich created by Lara and student Maria Gonzalez – called Victory Lane Pulled Pork – was one of four sandwiches students from West and Central schools created that had the chance of becoming a 2015 Chicagoland Speedway concessions menu item.

“When I look around, the sandwiches look so good,” Lara said about the other competitors’ meals. “Getting this far is really an accomplishment.”

Lara was with dozens of other students Thursday at Joliet West High School serving sandwiches to guests as part of the “Cooking for a Cause” fundraiser hosted by Joliet Township High School District 204 and Chicagoland Speedway.

Proceeds from the fundraiser will go toward two nonprofit organizations chosen by the students, Catholic Charities Daybreak Center and MorningStar Mission.

The other sandwiches guests tried at the fundraiser included the Jibarito Island Sandwich, Flamin’ Chicken Sandwich and Tiger FunChicken.

Chicagoland Speedway and Joliet Township High Schools have partnered for four years to give students the opportunity to have experiences that would be relevant to future careers. This school year, 40 students from both high schools worked with teachers and Levy Restaurants to create signature menu items for the 2015 race season. The students also were given the opportunity to earn two scholarships amounting to

Rialto gets quick fix for terra cotta repairs

By BOB OKON bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The Rialto Square Theatre received a $42,000 donation to help with terra cotta repairs, but still will have to take a Band-Aid approach to keep parts of its outside wall intact until more money is found.

The Will County Metropolitan Exposition and Auditorium Authority, which oversees the Rialto, voted this week to spend $26,000 to keep sections of the outside wall intact until more money can be found.

“We were able to buy the Band-Aid option,” Rialto Executive Director Randy Green said Thursday. “That’s going to give us a few years.”

Work crews are close to completing a $2.2 million terra cotta restoration project on the Rialto’s outside walls.

But in the course of that work, they found previously undiscovered deterioration in sections of terra cotta that was not slated for replacement.

Building Manager Mike Biedron told the authority last month that the additional

The Rialto Square Theatre has received a $42,000 donation to help with terra cotta repairs. work would cost $400,000. But for $26,000, netting and plastic wrap could be put in place that would safely secure the terra cotta until the Rialto could find more money.

The Rialto Square Theatre Volunteer Organization

came up with a $42,360 donation to make the low-cost option possible.

Green said the Rialto did not have contingency funds to pay for the work and is dependent on the contribution to make it possible. The dona-

tion includes about $5,000 to pay for consultant fees on the work. Another $11,000 would be available if needed for other terra cotta costs.

The Rialto Square Theatre Volunteer Organization does volunteer work at the theater

and also raises money for the Rialto. Green said the group has raised $832,000 for the Rialto since it was formed in the mid-1980s.

“They’ve been a proactive group when it comes to giving money to the Rialto,” he said.

He said the Rialto will need to begin planning a capital campaign to raise the money needed to complete the terra cotta work. The project was scaled down by $400,000 to meet budget before the additional problems were found.

The terra cotta project is expected to be completed by mid-June, when scaffolding outside the theater will be removed. Green said the netting and wrap will be in place on certain sections of the exterior, but not everywhere.

In the meantime, the Rialto faces another $250,000 expense to replace a deteriorating chimney flue.

The authority received a report on the chimney problem at its Wednesday meeting. But Green said no funds have been identified to begin work on the flue to ensure it can be completed before next winter.

District 201 superintendent to retire this school year

By ALLISON SELK Shaw Media correspondent MINOOKA – Superintendent Al Gegenheimer of Minooka Community Consolidated School District 201 will retire from the district at the end of this school year.

The school board approved Wednesday his retirement after a closed session, Gegenheimer said Thursday morning.

Board of Education President Jim Satorius said Thursday the board had to go into a closed session to reconstruct a new retirement agreement and general release.

Gegenheimer is leaving his position a year earlier than his

original contract allowed. He said he asked for an “unconditional release,” which allows him to retire a year earlier.

Gegenheimer said his reason for leaving was a personal choice, citing time for his wife, children and granddaughter, the biggest motivatAl Gegenheimer ing factor.

“I’ve been a school administrator for over 25 years, and it takes a lot of time away from my family. Even when I taught school, I was busy coaching everything I could, and now it is just time to spend time with

my family,” Gegenheimer said.

In November the school board approved a letter of reprimand to Gegenheimer, responding to allegations of unprofessional conduct.

Gegenheimer said a superintendent always is going to have problems. He said he’s been accused of saying bad things toward people, but added that those who know him best know he’s not like that, and that is not a reason for leaving.

“No, he was not asked to leave and I would have voted against it if that were the case,” Satorius said.

The board president said that in the eight years Gegenheimer was superintendent

and the business manager, he saved the district about $32 million, as well as receiving Bright Star Awards for excellence in academic funding, amongst other accomplishments.

“I’ve been through six or seven superintendents, and he’s done more for this district in eight years than all of the others put together. We won’t find anyone like Al Gegenheimer,” Satorius said.

Gegenheimer will finish out his 2014-15 session, retiring June 5. He will not be paid out his contract for the 2015-16 school year.

Doug Martin, vice president of the board who runs a blog where he has pointed out

concerns with Gegenheimer, declined to comment on Gegenheimer’s early retirement.

In his blog, he states the contract was approved 5 to 1 with Martin voting against the contract and Kristan Crouch abstaining. Martin explained in the blog the contract makes “certain payments to Mr. Gegenheimer, makes certain payments to the Illinois Teachers’ Retirement System on his behalf due to his early retirement, as well as maintain Mr. Gegenheimer and his dependents on the District health insurance until he qualifies for Medicare [approximately 6 years] or is reemployed by an employer that offers health insurance.”

Area native played songs from hit album

Bolingbrook man shot by police guilty of attempted murder

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Behind the curtains of the Joliet West High School auditorium, Dylan Gardner’s voice rang out.

The sound of the singer’s voice rose up and down Thursday as he prepared for a concert in front of more than 350 Joliet students. But about an hour before the concert began, several student journalists were there to interview him.

Gardner emerged from behind the curtain to meet them.

“Yeah, we were warming up. Crazy rock star stuff,” Gardner said.

The 18-year-old singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist arrived Thursday to Joliet West High School to perform several songs from his album “Adventures in Real Time,” as well as meet students and give advice.

Gardner’s visit was made possible by Moxie, an organization that brings music to schools because of the quality and volume of entertainment news releases written by Joliet West’s journalism students.

Jennifer Galloy, an English and journalism teacher, said it was an opportunity for student journalists to practice their interviewing skills.

Felix Sarver – fsarver@shawmedia.com

Joliet West student journalist Mike Maticka (right) interviews musician Dylan Gardner (left) Thursday at Joliet West High School.

“It’s one thing to listen to the music and write reviews, but to actually speak to the artist is a different thing for them,” Galloy said.

“They get to create their own authentic interviews, which makes their own writing valuable,” she added.

With two cameras trained on him, Gardner sat down with senior student Mike Maticka for an interview. Maticka is the editor-in-chief of the school’s newspaper, Tiger Tales, and the school yearbook.

Maticka asked Gardner about his background and his earliest musical experiences. According to his website, Gardner was born in Aurora and raised in Plainfield until he and his family moved to Arizona in 2010. Dylan signed with Warner Bros. Records

last year on the strength of his album.

Gardner recalled to Maticka his earliest experience with music was playing on the drums at a talent show.

“I got a standing ovation. … That was the best day of my life,” Gardner said.

Maticka also asked Gardner what drove him as an artist.

“My car,” Gardner joked.

“I’d just say the craft of songwriting and the heroes I look up to.”

Maticka said interviewing Gardner was a great experience. Entertainment journalism, including music journalism, is what he plans on doing in college and after.

“I love listening to music, and I love writing about music,” he said.

JOLIET – A Bolingbrook man who was shot by police when he struck an officer in the head with a metal pole was found guilty Thursday of attempted murder.

But Judge Dave Carlson believes both sides showed Levan C. Davis is mentally ill, which will affect where Davis is held when he is sentenced to the Department of Levan C. Corrections.

Davis “Testimony by all the doctors on this case is essentially the same,” Carlson said. “Clearly Mr. Davis suffers from mental illness, but it doesn’t excuse his

criminal culpability.”

Davis, 22, also was found guilty, but mentally ill, on two counts of aggravated battery. He faces six to 30 years of incarceration.

On Aug. 7, 2013, Robert Davis called police after his son became agitated over a missing remote control and began making threats. Officers Jason Mitchem and Eli Limacher arrived at the residence in the 300 block of Walnut Circle and spoke with Robert Davis in the driveway before Levan Davis opened the garage door.

Instead of complying with police orders, Levan Davis grabbed a hollow 4-foot galvanized pipe and struck Limacher on the head, according to court testimony. Mitchem

Judy Mitchell JJC Administrative Services vice president jected no increase in health costs, she said.

Although the college will again have flat enrollment, the college continues to work on recruiting and retaining students, she said.

“The college continues to support our students and identify ways to increase retention,” Mitchell said. “A focus this year is retention. ... Student retention did go up in the past year. That was positive.”

The budget includes “realistic projections” for property taxes, with a 2.3 percent increase, she said.

Earlier this month, JJC Board members approved putting the fiscal year 2016 budget on public display. Mitchell said the budget is only at the draft stage at this point until the board considers it for final approval in April.

JJC Board President Andrew Mihelich said Thursday he was pleased with the budget, as it had no tuition increases.

The college has met all contract obligations and made “tremendous strides” in lowering health care costs, he said.

“We’re pleased the initial indications coming out of Springfield is that state revenue to community colleges will be stable,” he said.

In February, Gov. Bruce Rauner’s budget called for no reductions in state funding to community colleges, which many officials with JJC and the Illinois Community College Board commended.

ICCB officials have said state funding for community colleges decreased annually from $316 million in 2010 to $283 million this year.

“We anticipated a decrease in state revenue, so we don’t know how that will hold true going through, but we’re starting off good,” Mihelich said.

Levan Davis also found to be mentally ill • GUILTY

Continued from page 6 testified he shot Davis twice because he feared for his and Limacher’s safety.

“He used a pipe, a deadly weapon, and after striking Limacher, Mr. Davis didn’t run,” Carlson said.

Prosecutors said Davis was preparing to hit Limacher a second time when Mitchem shot him.

Dr. Randi Zoot, a psychologist, said Davis was having delusions because he hadn’t gotten his prescribed anti-

psychotic injections for three months. Dr. Syed Ali, a psychiatrist, believes Davis has bipolar disorder, but fought with his father and attacked the police out of “anger,” not his illness.

Davis sat perpendicular to the judge throughout Thursday’s proceedings and looked around the room regardless of whether Carlson, Assistant Will County State’s Attorney Elizabeth Domagalla or Assistant Will County Public Defender Julie Primozic was speaking.

While he appeared melancholy, his expression did

not change when Carlson announced his findings after the bench trial.

“These officers demonstrated tremendous courage as well as restraint during a volatile situation that could have turned deadly in an instant,” State’s Attorney James Glasgow said in a news release. “I personally reviewed this case and determined that Officer Mitchem had used appropriate force to subdue the assailant and save Officer Limacher’s life. The guilty verdict handed down today in the criminal case assures a prison sentence for Levan Davis.”

JOLIET – Joliet Junior College officials say they continue to be fiscally conservative in the college’s latest budget proposal.

Next week at a JJC board workshop meeting, trustees can ask questions about the budget before public comment and budget adoption in April, said Judy Mitchell, vice president of JJC Administrative Services.

The budget for fiscal year 2016, which begins July 1, projects no increases in tuition or enrollment, she said.

“We’re taking a conservative approach in order to be fiscally responsible,” Mitchell said.

She said the budget is projected to be balanced, with revenues and expenses at about $87 million. College officials said last year’s budget was balanced, as it has been for the past 42 years, but no enrollment growth was expected in 2015.

The college will reallocate existing resources to pay for any new initiatives and will not ask for new money, Mitchell said. The budget also pro-

A focus this year is retention. ... Student retention did go up in the past year. That was positive.”

JJC proposes balanced budget for next fiscal year

Plainfield Soccer Association loses tax-exempt status Park district says it will not affect affiliate status, for now

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – The Internal Revenue Service revoked the tax-exempt status of the Plainfield Soccer Association earlier this month for failure to file a Form 990 for three consecutive years.

But Plainfield Township Park District Executive Director Carlo Capalbo said that won’t affect the nonprofit organization’s status as a park district affiliate, or cause any change in the organization’s field use or schedule during the coming soccer season.

The park district approved a new field use policy in February that lists the Plainfield Soccer Association, or PSA, as a park district affiliate. The designation gives it preference for field use over non-affiliate groups.

The two other park district affiliates are the Plainfield Athletic Club, a youth baseball organization, and Plainfield Junior Cats, a youth football organization.

In order to be an affiliate, an organization must follow a strict set of park district requirements, including being registered as an Illinois nonprofit corporation, and “provide a copy of ... any required annual reports to the Internal Revenue Service, Illinois Department of Revenue, Illinois Attorney General.”

“We’re giving them and other organizations a little bit of leniency,” Capalbo said. “We just set up this new policy and they’ve already taken up their registration for the season.

We’re in good faith going to work with the organization.

“But we will enforce the policy for next season.”

organization was sending paperwork.

“It could take 60 days or more to get back the tax-exempt status,” Scherry said.

“The kids are going to play and that’s all that matters to us.”

Plainfield Athletic Club

Shaw Media file photo

Members of a Plainfield Soccer Association U12 team work on their ball handling skills during practice March 31, 2014. The Internal Revenue Service revoked the tax-exempt status of the Plainfield Soccer Association earlier this month, but the Plainfield Township Park District says that will not affect the organization’s affiliate status for now.

Capalbo said he isn’t sure if losing tax-exempt status would automatically disqualify an organization from being a park district affiliate.

The revocation was effective Nov. 14, but the IRS posted the notice to its website March 9.

When asked Thursday

morning about the tax-exempt revocation, PSA Finance Vice President Kevin Scherry said the organization never received any notice and he wasn’t aware of it.

But later Thursday, Scherry said something went wrong with the certification process of the financial reports, and the

PSA isn’t the only affiliate to have troubles with tax-exempt status.

The Plainfield Athletic Club, or PAC, has lost its tax-exempt status twice within the past five years.

According to the IRS tax-exempt revocation list, PAC lost its tax-exempt status Feb. 15, 2011, and Feb. 15, 2013.

But the organization is tax-exempt now, according to PAC President Dan Deacon.

“It was taken care of last year,” Deacon said.

Culley Summers, a former PAC board member helping the organization with its tax information as a volunteer, also said that PAC is tax-exempt.

“They are in good standing with the state of Illinois and the Secretary of State,” he said.

because it’s not offered in the schools. We believe we will see growth due to this change,” Gegenheimer said.

The board agreed to start with the hiring of nine kindergarten teachers for the district, possibly adding more depending on enrollment numbers. Gegenheimer noted the district sees an influx of enrollment in the summer, which creates the need to hire more help as the new academic year approaches.

“April 24 is the kindergarten roundup. We need to encourage our parents to come and register the kids earlier, so the district can get an idea of the number of teachers to hire,” board member Vicki Allen said.

There are a couple of loose ends still on the negotiation table. The district is still required, by law, to offer half-

Police: Convicted sex offender volunteered for Pop Warner football program in Joliet

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Police say a convicted sex offender has volunteered for a local youth football program for four years.

Pablo Cruz, 43, was brought in for questioning by detectives Wednesday after a review found “some discrepancies on his sex offender paperwork,” according to Will County Sheriff’s spokeswoman Kathy Hoffmeyer.

“From 2011 through 2015, Cruz was an announcer and volunteer for the Joliet Ravens Pop Warner football organization,” Hoffmeyer said. “He would announce games as well as attend practices and work the sidelines Pablo Cruz during home and away games.”

Illinois State Police report Cruz was convicted of sexu-

ally abusing a 14-year-old in the state of Ohio in 2003.

Cruz was arrested on charges of being in a public park as a convicted sex offender and communicating with a minor as a convicted sex offender. He was booked into the Will County jail and is being held on $75,000 bond.

Cruz, of the 22400 block of River Road in Shorewood, is also wanted in Kane County on a charge of driving with a suspended license, according to police reports.

The committee welcomes

“When they are in these fine arts classes, they don’t even know they are getting professional instruction. They are having fun, it’s motivating.”

MINOOKA – Educators and local parents clinched hands and showed nervous faces as they anxiously awaited the decision made Wednesday by the Minooka Community Consolidated School District 201 board regarding full-day kindergarten.

It was a decision kindergarten teachers and some parents have waited for, and when the board approved full-day kindergarten beginning with the 2015-16 school year, cheers, yelps, screams and tears filled the room.

Chris Brophy moved to Minooka a few years ago, and

said his first two children were in a school district that offered full-day kindergarten. When the family moved to Minooka, only half-days were offered.

“It shows in the education, now, of my kids who were in a district that offered full-day as opposed to my daughter, who only had part time,” Brophy told the board. “I also think all-day class allows teachers to have ‘fluff room’ to deal with issues that come up during the day, such as a child being sick, or having to use the bathroom, or needing special attention.”

District Superintendent Al Gegenheimer said he believes the school district will see an influx in kindergarten registration this spring.

Volunteers to clean up area litter

By LAUREN–LEONE CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The snow has melted and the fast food wrappers, water bottles and other garbage beneath is starting to unveil itself on city streets and local interstates.

It’s simply too much litter for one person to tackle, said Joliet resident Virgil Kemp, who in 2009 started Helpers of Mother Earth, a group solely devoted to picking up litter.

“I don’t care if anybody is out there or not. I’ll do it. I love doing it,” Kemp said. “But people always seem to think it’s somebody else’s job. Litter is a part of our society. The government can’t be solely responsible for picking up the litter. It’s a responsibility that

we all have.”

Helpers of Mother Earth – which recruits members through MeetUp.com and Facebook – has completed more than 250 cleanups in the Joliet area during the past four years.

‘A tough job ahead’

Kemp said he’s getting help from nearly 200 out-of-town and area college students this weekend and next week to pick up litter throughout the Joliet area.

About 100 University of St. Francis students are set to join Kemp on Thursday. And this weekend, two busloads of college students from Minnesota will join Kemp in picking up litter as part of a yearly Pay It Forward Tour – a charita-

District 113A hires new Old Quarry principal SHAW MEDIA LEMONT – The Lemont-Bromberek Combined School District 113A School Board has approved Johnny Billingsley as the next principal of Old Quarry Middle School.

Billingsley, who is the principal of George Washington Middle School in Lyons, will start July 1, taking over for the departing Bill Caron. The board approved his appointment Johnny during a meetBillingsley ing Wednesday.

“I am looking forward to making positive contributions to the school and community and look forward to meeting the students, faculty and parents,” he said in a district news release. “Old Quarry Middle School is a highly successful institution, and I am honored and thankful for the opportunity to serve as the leader of such a high achieving middle school.”

According to the release, Billingsley has a master’s degree in curriculum from Olivet Nazarene University and a

master’s in educational leadership from the University of Phoenix.

He was previously assistant principal and principal for Bloom School District 206 and Harnett and Wake County school districts in North Carolina.

He was named as the West 40 Principal of the Year through the Illinois Principals’ Association in 2015 and led his middle school to be state and nationally recognized as a School to Watch in 2013.

According to the news release, staff described Billingsley during the interview process as “a strong leader” who is “experienced, positive, student-focused, enthusiastic and someone with vision.”

Superintendent Courtney Orzel echoed those statements by staff.

“He embodies all of the attributes that we were seeking in a principal and has the qualities that we would expect of our school leaders,” Orzel said in the release. “He is extremely knowledgeable and understands what it takes to be a school of excellence and has high standards for everyone in the learning community, including himself.”

ble alternative to traditional spring break activities.

On Saturday, the group will pick up litter where Washington Street intersects with Miller and Henderson streets. Volunteers can meet at A F Hill Park in Fairmont.

Thursday’s event will take place in various areas throughout Joliet, including Bicentennial Park and along Ruby and Broadway streets.

“We have to go where there is litter,” Kemp said. “People just throw stuff out their car windows. There’s homeless people who live in that area and it’s just become a dumping area. … We’ve got a tough job ahead of us.”

People are welcome to join the groups this weekend and

Thursday, Kemp said.

‘Two hours, twice a year’

Kemp said he is launching a new campaign this year called the “HOME 2x2 Series.”

“Two times two. Two hours, twice a year. All people have to do is volunteer to pick up litter

twice a year for two hours,” Kemp said.

The new campaign is available through Helpers of Mother Earth’s MeetUp page. Individuals can create groups with friends and family and HOME provides plastic grocery bags for the litter pickup.

Plainfield South seeks support for college visits

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – Plainfield South High School freshmen could participate in a schoolled college visit as soon as April 7 if enough money is raised to pay for the trip.

Plainfield South administrators are asking individuals, community groups and businesses to donate money so the entire freshman class can be bused to Northern Illinois University in DeKalb, providing students with exposure to post-secondary education life early.

“My personal and professional opinion is that high school is no longer a capstone,

it’s a milestone,” Plainfield South Principal David Travis said. “Students are going to need some type of post-secondary goals, whether it’s the military, trade school or college.

This really helps plant that seed.”

Travis also said thinking about college as a junior or senior is too late for students in the present day, which is why the freshmen class was chosen.

As of Thursday morning, Travis said the school – through the Cougar Boosters parent organization – has raised $1,500 for the program. But it needs to raise at least $6,400 to fund 16 busloads of students to DeKalb over a four-day period starting April 7.

Donate The Cougar Boosters have set up a crowd-funding site where anyone can donate at www.crowdrise. com/cougarboosters. Anyone interested in donating can also email Travis directly at dtravis@ psd202.org.

Batches of students would be bused to the campus for a one-day visit.

To help raise money, school officials presented the plan March 18 to the Plainfield Area Chamber of Commerce during the chamber’s State of the Chamber luncheon.

The chamber sent out an

email Monday to its members asking businesses to sponsor one or more busloads of students. In return, Plainfield South will highlight donors’ business and contact information in its weekly parent updates through the end of the school year, and through social media.

“We have a good partnership with Plainfield South,” said Tasha Kitson, chamber executive director. “We’re helping promote the information for them.”

Travis helped start a similar college visit program years ago when he was the social studies department chair at Addison Trail High School in Addison.

Addison Trail started tak-

ing its freshman class to the University of Wisconsin-Madison. That program has expanded to include full sophomore class college visits to Illinois State University, University of Illinois at Chicago and NIU, Addison Trail Principal Adam Cibulka said.

“It gives students right away, as freshmen, an idea of what it takes to get into a [college],” said Cibulka, who worked under Travis when Travis helped start the program at Addison Trail.

Cibulka also said the program gives students who come from families with few or no college graduates a chance they may not get as juniors and seniors.

Winners from Thursday’s fundraiser will be announced next month • COOKING

Continued from page 3 required knowing the cost of ingredients, knowing how to cook it at the right temperatures. The ingredients of his sandwich included 1½-pound pork shoulder, iceberg lettuce and four cans of Fanta.

“You have to go in-depth with all the flavors and the texture,” he said. “I felt like I was learning all that in my cooking class.”

In January, students from Central and West high schools participated in a contest that would determine whose creation would move on to Thursday’s fundraiser.

Four finalists were chosen with two sandwiches from both schools that were tasted and voted on by guests.

Winners of Thursday’s fundraiser from Central and West will be announced in

April.

Rochelle Bjelland, Joliet Central High School culinary instructor, said she was surprised that even her students whose sandwiches didn’t make it to final stage were determined to help others with cooking on Thursday.

“The classmates said ‘What can we do next?’

They’re all working to make their sandwiches,” she said.

“The selflessness of the students is fabulous.”

Veronica Cerrillo, Joliet West senior, presented the Flamin’ Chicken Sandwich that she created with Miryam Cisneros and Taylor Elliott.

Cerrillo said creating was a team effort and the sandwich was inspired by her mother’s meals, with her own twist. She said her mother makes a Mexican dish typically eaten with tostadas that she used as a model for her sandwich.

“The classmates said ‘What can we do next?’

They’re all working to make their sandwiches.

The selflessness of the students is fabulous.”

She said in creating the sandwich, she learned to consider what others thought would go well with the meal, such as deciding on pretzel Advertisement

bread instead of flour tortillas or French bread.

She was grateful for Chicagoland Speedway giving her and other students the op-

portunity to have their sandwiches appear on their menu.

“I didn’t think I was going to come this far but you never know,” Cerrillo said.

Rauner signs into law compromise plan to fix budget hole

By KERRY LESTER The Associated Press SPRINGFIELD – In an early major test of Illinois’ newly divided government, the Senate passed a compromise plan Thursday to plug a $1.6 billion hole in this year’s budget and avert shutdowns of state programs and services.

New Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner signed the legislation into law hours after the Democratic-led Senate approved it 32-26, with all 20 Republicans voting for it. Two days earlier, the House also approved the bills with full GOP support.

After weeks of negotiation, Rauner reached the deal with

Democratic legislative leaders, even though the majority of Democrats in both chambers voted against the compromise.

The plan authorizes him to transfer $1.3 billion from other purposes, including parks and conservation. The rest comes from a 2.25 percent across-the-board budget cut.

It also gives Rauner authority over $97 million to distribute to needy schools and discretion over an additional $90 million in case of unanticipated budget problems.

The $35.7 billion budget lawmakers passed last spring that didn’t allocate enough money for expenses, creating the $1.6 billion gap. Democrats

passed the budget last spring hoping that after the November election they would make permanent a temporary income tax increase passed in 2011. But Rauner’s gubernatorial victory scuttled that hope, and the tax increase rolled back on Jan. 1.

A state subsidized child care program needed another $300 million to operate through June. And funds were expected to run out for after-care programs at the Department of Juvenile Justice developmental centers and mental health facilities, among others.

“This is a first step, but by no means a final step,” House Speaker Michael Madigan

said in a statement. “There will be much more work and more decisions in the months ahead as legislators and the governor work to craft a responsible budget for the coming fiscal year.

A number of Senate Democrats, who offered some of the most vocal resistance to Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner’s request for authority to move money around in the state budget, said they couldn’t vote for the bill in good conscience.

Only 12 of the 39 caucus members voted for the measure.

“I really wanted to be able to vote for this. I wanted to be able to reach across the aisle but we cut essential services,” Democratic Sen. Melinda

Bush of Grayslake said. “I just think there were other ways to solve this.”

Democratic Senate President John Cullerton gave his caucus credit for sticking to its guns during negotiations, the result being major cuts spared to schools, hospitals and local governments.

Senate Republican Leader Christine Radogno called the compromise “a significant step forward as we look to build the 2016 budget.”

“By choosing to make difficult decisions on a bipartisan basis, the General Assembly is helping set a new tone for what can be achieved in Springfield,” the governor said in a statement.

One cousin was a National Guard member with Joliet-based unit • COUSINS

Continued from page 2 with the joint task force that made the arrests and referred questions to the FBI. Benton said the National Guard arranges its own security for the facility and Joliet police have not been asked to patrol the location more than any other.

Joliet Fire Chief Joseph Formhals said he learned about the Edmonds’ arrest from news reports but did not know that he had been based out of Joliet. Mayor Thomas Giarrante said he had not been informed about the arrest or any possible threat in Joliet.

Hasan Edmonds said in messages earlier this year that his knowledge of the U.S. military and American psychology would prove helpful in terrorizing Americans, prosecutors contend. He suggested not just killing people, but capturing and holding others.

“If we can break their spirits, we will win,” he said, according to the complaint.

Another time, he spoke admiringly of the recent terrorist attack in Paris on the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, which killed 12 people.

“Honestly, we would love to do something like the brother in Paris did,” Hasan Edmonds wrote, according to prosecutors.

Jonas Edmonds, who the

complaint says had a criminal record in the state of Georgia, allegedly communicated to an undercover agent that it may be difficult for him to get his travel documents in order.

And if he could not secure guns, he would use anything he could get his hands on, the complaint cites him as saying.

“I can unleash a lion,” he said. “What I would need ... honestly nothing. I am prepared to go even if it’s with a rock.”

The cousins appeared Thursday before U.S. Magistrate Judge Sheila Finnegan in federal court in Chicago.

“I can unleash a lion.

What I would need ... honestly nothing. I am prepared to go even if it’s with a rock.”

Jonas Edmonds Cousin of National Guardsman Hasan Edmonds’ lawyer said his client wanted a bond hearing. Jonas Edmonds’ attorney said he won’t challenge his detention. A detention hearing for Hasan Edmonds is set for May 30.

Both attorneys declined to comment after the hearing.

Conspiring to provide material support to a foreign terrorist organization carries a maximum penalty of 15 years in prison and a $250,000 fine, according to the FBI news release.

Hasan Edmonds wasn’t on active duty, so any criminal allegation will be addressed by civilian federal authorities, Leighton said. Edmonds security clearance had been revoked, he said.

The case was investigated by the FBI’s JTTF, which is comprised of special agents of the FBI, officers of the Chicago

Yehuda Avner, Israeli 23 diplomat and prime minister aide, dies The ASSOCIATED PRESS JERUSALEM – Yehuda Avner, a former Israeli diplomat and aide to a string of prime ministers who turned his insider stories about the country’s leaders into a best-selling memoir, has died.

Avner, who was 86, died Tuesday after a battle with cancer, his family said.

The British-born Avner immigrated to Israel when he was 17. He later joined the Foreign Ministry and was assigned to the prime minister’s office.

He served as an adviser and speechwriter to the country’s leaders for some three decades beginning with Levi Eshkol in the 1960s through Shimon Peres in the early 1990s, said David Sable, his sonin-law. During that period, he also served as Israel’s ambassador to Britain and Australia.

“Everybody he spoke to walked away and felt they were his friend,” Sable said. “He had this ability to connect with you, whether it was the queen of England, the prime minister of Australia or the guy who cleaned the pews in the synagogue. He had an incredible connective ability.

That’s what made him such a good diplomat.”

In 2010, Avner published his book, “The Prime Ministers: An Intimate Narrative of Israeli Leadership,” in which he shared stories of working alongside major Israeli leaders such as Menachem Begin and Yitzhak Rabin as well as world figures, such as Ronald Reagan, Jimmy Carter, Margaret Thatcher and the legendary spiritual leader of the Chabad-Lubavitch m o v e m e n t , R a b b i M e nachem Mendel Schneerson.

Perhaps his favorite story, Sable said, was attending a dinner at the White House with President Gerald Ford and Rabin. Avner, who was an observant Jew,

Avner, a former Israeli diplomat and aide to a string of prime ministers who turned his insider stories about the country’s leaders into a best-selling memoir, has died. Avner, who was 86, died Tuesday after a battle with cancer, his family said. received a special kosher meal that attracted so much attention that Rabin told the president it was Avner’s birthday. Ford then led the room in a rendition of “Happy Birthday Yeduha,” using a misspelled version of his name on his dinner-table place card.

After the meal, Avner told Rabin that it wasn’t his birthday. Rabin told him he had made up the story because he did not want the Israeli public to learn he had eaten a non-kosher meal.

In a 2010 interview with the online Jewish magazine Tablet, Avner said he put the book together based on handwritten notes he had scribbled during the many meetings he had attended.

Avner said the notes were meant to be used for the official records of these meetings. “However, I never threw away those scribbles.

I confess I was naughty,” he said.

The book was a surprise success and made Avner a popular figure on the lecture circuit late in life, Sable said.

Avner leaves his wife and four children – a son and three daughters.

Jesse Jackson Jr. at halfway house after leaving prison

CHICAGO – Former U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. arrived at a Baltimore halfway house late Thursday, hours after leaving an Alabama federal prison where he was serving a sentence imposed after he pleaded guilty to spending $750,000 in campaign money on personal items.

Jackson arrived Thursday night with members of his family at the Volunteers of America halfway house, where he begins his transition back into society.

“I’m very, very happy that I’m with my wife and children, I’ve missed them a very long time,” Jackson said as he pushed through a group of reporters to enter the halfway house.

Earlier in the day, the Rev. Jesse Jackson, speaking by phone shortly after picking up his 50-year-old son, described his release from the minimum security federal prison camp at Maxwell Air Force Base as a “joyous reunion.” He added that the younger Jackson was doing “very well.” The civil rights leader was not with his son when he checked into the facility.

Expert: Recent state tornadoes have struck out of season

CHAMPAIGN – An Illinois weather expert says the phrase “tornado season” has lost some of its meaning during the past three years.

State Climatologist Jim Angel says the recent distribution of tornadoes doesn’t match the typical Illinois tornado season, which runs March through June. Two-thirds of tornadoes normally occur during those months.

But in 2012, seven out of 15

tornado reports were on the last day of February. The year 2013 saw a massive tornado outbreak on Nov. 17. And in 2014, two notable tornado outbreaks were on Feb. 20 and Oct. 13, dates outside the normal tornado season.

Measure would bar public funds for graduation speakers

SPRINGFIELD – A proposal in the Illinois House would bar public universities from paying commencement speakers with public funds.

The News-Gazette said the bill passed a House committee Wednesday. Bill sponsor Rep. Reggie Phillips, R-Charleston,

said it’s a small way of saving money and that universities could try to find private funding for commencement speakers.

Phillips said some universities pay “$30,000 to $50,000” for commencement speakers.

Rep. Chris Welch, D-Hillside, criticized the proposal, saying it’s “micromanaging.” He said university presidents already have to explain proposed budgets to legislators.

The committee passed the bill on the condition that Phillips would bring revisions back to the committee before it goes to the full House. He said changes would clarify its impact on community colleges and other campus speeches.

Illinois has needle exchange programs in five cities

CHICAGO – Illinois health officials say new HIV infection

among drug users has fallen dramatically since 2003. That was when lawmakers passed a measure allowing people to buy a limited number of syringes without a prescription.

The Public Health Department says there are needle exchange programs in Belleville, Champaign, Chicago, Kankakee and Springfield. The programs allow drug users to exchange used needles for sterile ones, in an effort to curb the spread of diseases such as HIV and hepatitis.

On Thursday, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence overrode state law to authorize a short-term needle exchange program in a rural county where more than six dozen HIV cases have been tied to intravenous drug use.

There is no such outbreak in Illinois. The Illinois health department also offers counseling and does HIV testing for those injecting illegal drugs.

Americans’ trial in Indonesia delayed after baby gets sick

BALI, Indonesia – The trial of an American couple accused of killing the woman’s mother in Indonesia adjourned after their newborn baby fell ill in prison, a prosecutor and a doctor said Thursday.

Heather Mack, 19, gave birth to a daughter, Stella, last week and returned with the baby to prison after several days’ stay in the hospital.

She brought the 9-day-old baby to the prison clinic on Wednesday morning when she noticed the baby’s skin was yellow, a doctor at Kerobokan Penitentiary said.

Mack and her boyfriend Tommy Schaefer, 21, both from Chicago, are being tried on charges of premeditated murder for the death of Sheila von Wiese-Mack, 62, in August.

House Minority Leader Rep. Nancy Pelosi of California speaks during a March 19 news conference on Capitol Hill in Washington. Democrats took aim at 10-year savings of $435 billion in Medicare contained in the GOP’s budget blueprint, but failed on a 54-46 party-line vote to reverse them.

Senate pushes conservative money plan toward approval

By DAVID ESPO and ERICA WERNER The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Senate Republicans pushed a balanced-budget blueprint toward late-night approval Thursday night, laying down conservative markers for a likely veto struggle with President Barack Obama over their plans to erase deficits through trillions in spending cuts and repeal of the health care law.

Approval of the nonbinding budget was a certainty, one day after the House ratified a slightly different version on a party-line vote.

Separately, legislation to stabilize the system for paying physicians who treat Medicare patients cleared the House during the day and is expected to pass the Senate. As a result, the week’s events gave credence to Republican claims that their new, two-house majority would be able to govern without the chaos that has often plagued Congress in recent years.

But first, senators

plunged into a peculiarly senatorial ritual known inside the Capitol as “vote-arama” – bringing up dozens of proposed changes designed largely to score political points on issues as diverse as the sage grouse and the minimum wage.

With work proceeding at a glacial pace, Sen. Mike Enzi announced at dinnertime that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell was hosting dinner for senators, and that Democratic Leader Harry Reid would handle Friday night’s meal. “We need a volunteer for breakfast and lunch for tomorrow,” the Wyoming Republican said to nervous laughter.

The 10-year budget plan itself was nonbinding, although Republicans said it would lead to tangible gains for hard-pressed consumers.

McConnell, R-Ky., said it included ideas “that could boost jobs, raise annual wages by as much as $5,000 per family and drive economic growth for hardworking Americans.”

He cited an analysis by the nonpartisan Congres-

sional Budget Office for his claim.

Democrats found little to like, and were expected to oppose it unanimously.

With 54 seats in the Senate, Republicans could afford three defections and still be assured a majority for the budget.

Even that presented a challenge, though. Four members of the rank and file are likely or announced presidential contenders, and several more face potentially difficult 2016 re-election tests in swing states.

The Senate GOP plan envisions more than $5 trillion in deficit reduction over the next decade without higher taxes, resulting in a $3 billion surplus in the 10th year of the coming decade.

By comparison, Obama’s budget, presented to Congress over the winter, envisions about $2 trillion in higher taxes on the wealthy, corporations and smokers of all income levels, as well as more spending on domestic programs. It fails to balance at any point in the coming 10 years.

Co-pilot deliberately slammed plane in Alps

By ANGELA CHARLTON and DAVID McHUGH The Associated Press PARIS – Passengers with moments to live screamed in terror and the pilot frantically pounded on the locked cockpit door as a 27-year-old German co-pilot deliberately and wordlessly smashed an Airbus carrying 150 people into an Alpine mountainside.

The account Thursday of the final moments of Germanwings Flight 9525 prompted some airlines to immediately impose stricter cockpit rules – and raised haunting questions about the motive of the co-pilot, whose breathing never wavered as he destroyed the plane and the lives of those aboard.

“We have no idea of the reason,” Marseille Prosecutor Brice Robin said, revealing the chilling conclusions investigators reached after reconstructing the final minutes of the flight from the plane’s black box voice recorder. Co-pilot Andreas Lubitz’s intention was “to destroy this plane.”

French, German and U.S. officials said there was no indication of terrorism. The prosecutor did not elaborate on why investigators do not suspect a political motive; instead they’re focusing on the co-pilot’s “personal, family and professional environment” to

try to determine why he did it.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel, whose nation lost 75 people on the flight, said the conclusions brought the tragedy to a “new, simply incomprehensible dimension.”

Devastated families of victims visited the crash scene Thursday, looking across a windy mountain meadow toward where their loved ones died.

The Airbus A320 was flying from Barcelona to Duesseldorf on Tuesday when it lost radio contact with air traffic controllers and began plunging from its cruising altitude. Eight minutes later, it slammed into the mountainside.

An analysis of transponder data by Flightradar24, a flight tracking service, showed that the autopilot was re-set to take the plane from 38,000 to 100 feet.

The prosecutor laid out in horrifying detail the final sounds heard in the cockpit extracted from the mangled voice recorder.

Lubitz, courteous in the first part of the trip, became “curt” when the captain began the mid-flight briefing on the planned landing, Robin said.

The pilot, who has not been identified, left the cockpit for an apparent bathroom break, and Lubitz took control of the jet.

He suddenly started a manual descent, and the pilot started

Crews work Thursday on debris of the Germanwings jet at the crash site near Seyne-les-Alpes, France. knocking on the door.

There was no response. “It was absolute silence in the cockpit,” the prosecutor said – except for the steady breathing he said indicated Lubitz was not panicked, and acted in a calm, deliberate manner.

The A320 is designed with safeguards to allow emergency entry into the cockpit if a pilot inside is unresponsive. But the override code known to the crew does not go into effect if the person inside the cockpit specifically denies entry.

Instrument alarms went off, but no distress call ever went out from the cockpit, and the

control tower’s pleas for a response went unanswered.

Just before the plane hit the mountain, passengers’ cries of terror could be heard.

“The victims realized just at the last moment,” Robin said.

“We can hear them screaming.”

Their families “are having a hard time believing it,” he said, after briefing some of them in Marseille.

Many victims’ relatives visited an Alpine clearing Thursday where French authorities set up a viewing tent for family members to look toward the site of the crash, so steep and

treacherous that it can only be reached by a long journey on foot or rappelling from a helicopter.

Lubitz’s family was in France but was being kept separate from the other families, Robin said. German investigators searched his apartment and his parents’ home in Montabaur, Germany, where the curtains were drawn.

The prosecutor’s account prompted quick moves toward stricter cockpit rules.

Airlines in Europe are not required to have two people in the cockpit at all times, unlike the standard U.S. operating procedure, which was changed after the 9/11 attacks to require a flight attendant to take the spot of a briefly departing pilot.

Canada and Germany’s biggest airlines, including Lufthansa and Air Berlin, as well as low-cost European carriers easyJet and Norwegian Air Shuttle announced new rules requiring two crew members to always be present.

Some experts said even two isn’t enough, and called for rules to require three.

“The flight deck is capable of accommodating three pilots, and there shouldn’t ever be a situation where there is only one person in the cockpit,” said James Hall, a former chairman of the National Transportation Safety Board.

Iran may be allowed to run centrifuges at fortified site

By GEORGE JAHN and MATTHEW LEE The Associated Press LAUSANNE, Switzerland – The United States is considering letting Tehran run hundreds of centrifuges at a once-secret, fortified underground bunker in exchange for limits on centrifuge work and research and development at other sites, officials have told The Associated Press.

The trade-off would allow Iran to run several hundred of the devices at its Fordo facility, although the Iranians would not be allowed to do work that could lead to an atomic bomb and the site would be subject to international inspections, according to Western officials

familiar with details of negotiations now underway. In return, Iran would be required to scale back the number of centrifuges it runs at its Natanz facility and accept other restrictions on nuclear-related work.

Instead of uranium, which can be enriched to be the fissile core of a nuclear weapon, any centrifuges permitted at Fordo would be fed elements such as zinc, xenon or germanium for separating out isotopes used in medicine, industry or science, the officials said. The number of centrifuges would not be enough to produce the amount of uranium needed to produce a weapon within a year – the minimum time-frame that Washington and its negotiating partners demand.

The officials spoke only on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss details of the sensitive negotiations as the latest round of talks began between U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammed Javad Zarif. The negotiators are racing to meet an end-of-March deadline to reach an outline of an agreement that would grant Iran relief from international sanctions in exchange for curbing its nuclear program. The deadline for a final agreement is June 30.

One senior U.S. official declined to comment on the specific proposal but said the goal since the beginning of the talks has been “to have Fordo con-

verted so it’s not being used to enrich uranium.” That official would not say more.

The officials stressed that the potential compromise on Fordo is just one of several options on a menu of highly technical equations being discussed in the talks. All of the options are designed to keep Iran at least a year away from producing an atomic weapon for the life of the agreement, which will run for at least 10 years. U.S. Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz has joined the last several rounds as the negotiations have gotten more technical.

Experts say the compromise for Fordo could still be problematic. They note it would allow Iran to keep intact tech-

nology that could be quickly repurposed for uranium enrichment at a sensitive facility that the U.S. and its allies originally wanted stripped of all such machines – centrifuges that can spin uranium gas into uses ranging from reactor fuel to weapons-grade material.

And the issue of inspector access and verification is key.

Iran has resisted “snap inspections” in the past. Even as the nuclear talks have made progress, Iran has yet to satisfy questions about its past possible nuclear-related military activity. The fact that questions about such activity, known as Possible Military Dimensions, or PMDs, remain unresolved is a serious concern for the U.N. atomic watchdog.

Providence’s Alyssa Jurges is The Herald-News’ girls basketball Player of the Year. tent, dependable, reliable and does everything to the best of her ability without pressure. She has fun playing the game, so she’s able to accomplish a lot of things and make it look like fun.”

AN EARLY START

Jurges developed that hard-work attitude early on, starting in third grade.

As her first coach, her father pushed her to get better, but with each passing year he pushed her less to teach her that to be a great player, she had to want to get better all by herself.

Even before high school, Jurges pushed herself hard and started setting tough goals.

“Fifth grade, I knew,” Jurges said.

“I told my parents that I wanted to get a scholarship for basketball, and they told me that it would come with a lot of hard work. I was up for the challenge because I knew I wanted to be playing.

I didn’t want to stop at high school. I knew that I wanted to play at the next level.”

The summer before her senior year, she accomplished that goal. Jurges committed to playing at Lewis, one of the top NCAA Division II programs in the country.

Her versatility attracted many schools. The four-year Celtics starter can hit 3s, shoot from midrange, reads the game well and can play a physical defensive game. Although many colleges were interested in her, only one stood out.

After visiting the campus and meeting the coaches and players, Jurges compared each college to Lewis. One day, she decided she did not want to look any further. She found a new home that felt like Providence.

When she talks about her future as a Flyer, her eyes light up, and excitement fills her voice. The Flyers also are happy to have her for the next four years.

“Alyssa is going to be a great fit in our program,” Lewis coach Lisa Carlsen said. “She’s going to have an

If she plays the same role she did for Providence, Jurges will be an impact player for the Flyers. She had many great moments playing for the Celtics; but when asked what her favorite moment playing at Providence was, the answer might be a little surprising.

She thought for a second, then smiled and said beating Joliet Catholic.

It wasn’t breaking the school record for points in a game (36). It wasn’t receiving any of her numerous individual accolades.

“That’s not me. I’m a humble person,” Jurges said. “No doubt I get excited [about individual accomplishments], but I’m not the type of person who says, ‘Guess who had 30 points?’ That’s not me.

“I’m all about the team. I want to win.

I know that I have to get my teammates involved. They’re great players. If one of them is hot, I’m dishing them the ball the whole game. I’m all about winning the game, a team effort and having fun.”

For a girl who likes to win, she’ll have a lot of opportunity to do so in the next four years.

Working hard since third grade has helped Jurges get to the level she is at now. The level where she can dominate a game with 35 points on 73 percent shooting from the field and 90 percent from the free-throw line and adding five assists, two blocks and two steals – as she accomplished in Providence’s season opener.

She also thanks one person for being able to play at that level.

“Coach Eileen has spent so much time shooting with me and helping me become the player that I am today,” Jurges said. “I can’t thank her enough for all that she’s done. My basketball experience at Providence has been awesome. I don’t think I could have had this experience anywhere else. I loved it.”

With the basketball game tied at 51 and only five seconds remaining, Alyssa Jurges stepped up to the free-throw line.

If Jurges made the shots, her Providence squad would upset Joliet Catholic, the 2014 Class 3A runner-up, at JCA’s gym. If she missed, it would go into overtime and Providence could lose a close one to a huge rival.

The pressure was on.

She sank both without breaking a sweat.

Anyone who has seen Jurges play would not be surprised she rose to the occasion. The 5-foot-8 guard had 569 points this season and ranks second in Providence scoring with 1,712 career points.

The senior has been recognized so frequently in the past two years that listing her awards and achievements could fill half this article.

The one thing that makes Alyssa Jurges the Herald-News Player of the Year is not her points or her accomplishments, however. What separates her from others is what she brings every second she is on the court.

Even though she has natural talent, her hard work is what makes her talent even better and enables her to shine.

Jurges gives 100 percent every play – and, according to her coach, she plays the same way in practice.

“Alyssa walked in the door with a goal and a purpose. She was the most relentless player year-in and year-out working toward that goal,” Providence coach Eileen Copenhaver said.

“She was one hardest-working kids I’ve ever known, the most unassuming.

“She played 126 consecutive games and only missed two practices in four years, one being completely out of her control. Here’s a kid who does what she’s supposed to. She is very consis-

SPRING TRAINING REPORT: JOLIET WEST BASEBALL

By DICK GOSS dgoss@shawmedia.com

Joliet West third baseman Griffin McGuire awaits the throw as Lincoln-Way Central’s Sean Barry slides into third during a game last season. McGuire, one of the Tigers’ top pitchers and hitters, added muscle in the offseason.

JOLIET WEST

Shaw Media file photos

Joliet West shortstop Cody Grosse fires to first after fielding a ground ball during a game last season. Grosse has hit .460 and .512 the past two seasons.

Joliet West’s Robert Talarico scores on a passed ball during a game last season against Minooka. Talarico is the Tigers’ ace left-hander and also will hit in the middle of the lineup once he completely recovers from jaw surgery.

Karczewski likely will go with Alex Davis backing up Grosse in the 2-hole and a bulked-up Griffin McGuire, one of West’s top pitchers along with lefty Robert Talarico, hitting third.

“We’ll be a small-ball team,” Karczewski said. “But Griffin will be one of the better hitters around. He will hurt some balls. He put in a lot of offseason work in the weight room.”

First baseman Blake To-

mac was the Tigers’ leading hitter last summer and figures to hit fourth, followed by Talarico, although he is not hitting yet after having jaw surgery.

Junior Matt Meier and senior Nick Marconi will get plenty of work on the mound behind Talarico and McGuire.

“Grif [McGuire] has been working with [Ryan] Quigley on his throwing,” Grosse said.

“That will help him.”

Talarico, who will pitch

at Lewis, tossed a five-inning no-hitter in the opener against Yorkville. Senior Mike Wolz will close.

“We’ve got a deep staff,” Karczewski said. “We’ve got four lefties in all, and five guys probably will start games along the way.”

Josh Pesavento, Nick Christopher and sophomore catcher Eastin May, who hit fifth in the opener, will help fill out the Tigers’ lineup.

Q 2014 RECORD: 22-14, 7-7 in SouthWest Suburban Blue Q COACH: John Karczewski (84-54 in four years at Joliet West) Q RETURNING REGULARS: SS Cody Grosse, 3B/P Griffin McGuire, P Robert Talarico, 1B Blake Tomac, OF Alex Davis, C Eastin May, OF Josh Pesavento, 2B Nick Frausto Q OUTLOOK: West has some positions open as the new season begins. But the Tigers have enough key players back, led by Grosse and McGuire, and appear to have enough pitching that they could be a factor in the rugged conference race.

“Eastin is really developing,” Karczewski said. “He put in a ton of work in the offseason. He took hitting lessons all last summer.”

“Eastin was a big freshman,” Grosse said. “He is looking better. He improved in his hitting. He made a pretty big jump to playing with the varsity last year.”

Grosse admits that when last season concluded, “I wasn’t sure we would be that good this year. But overall now, I think we’ll be solid.”

“I’m confident this team can be good,” Karczewski said.

“We do have some positions open. But when we get Cody [Grosse] on the field and Talarico hitting, we should be OK.”

• Friday, March 27, 2015

JOLIET – Cody Grosse is a shortstop. He makes long throws across the diamond on a regular basis.

He played all last spring and summer with a “messedup” labrum and had surgery in early September.

Yes, Joliet West’s spark plug is tough. He is in his accustomed leadoff spot in the everyday lineup as the Tigers begin a new season.

“I went to therapy and found out it was messed up,” Grosse said. “I had the surgery. Now I’ve been doing exercises to keep it strong enough to throw.

“I’ll be DH-ing at first, then I’ll probably play some at second and progress back to short.”

A left-handed hitter, Grosse not only is a slick fielder, but he has done an eye-catching job setting the table. As a sophomore, he hit .460 from the 9-hole. As a junior in the leadoff spot, he improved that to .512 and scored 36 runs.

In West’s season opener, a 5-0 nonconference win last week over Yorkville, he stole three bases.

“It’s hard to duplicate what Cody does year to year, but then he does even better,” Tigers coach John Karczewski said. “The only time he struggles at all, it’s against lesser teams.

“He’s little, and pitchers think they can throw fastballs by him. They have found out they can’t. He has some pop, too. Last year, he had a 10-pitch at-bat and homered on the 10th pitch. Earlier in that at-bat, he hit one foul.”

“I feel people doubted me when I came up to varsity the end of my freshman year,” Grosse said. “Now I want to beat all the numbers I had the last couple years.”

Grosse will play his college ball at NCAA Division I Chicago State, which is where his former West teammate, Zack Thomas, is a freshman.

“I knew Zack went there, and that was the best offer on the table for me,” Grosse said.

“It’s a good scholarship.”

BOYS VOLLEYBALL: JOLIET CATHOLIC 2, PLAINFIELD SOUTH 0 (25-16, 25-14)

Joliet Catholic, Plainfield S. excited at prospects

By CURT HERRON cherron@shawmedia.com JOLIET – When a team returns all but one player from a successful squad, you expect even bigger things the next season. Add in the fact that much of that group has been together for awhile, and it’s hard for fans not to get really excited.

That’s just the case for Joliet Catholic Academy’s boys volleyball team this season as it hopes to take things to another level after falling just short of a sectional trip a year ago.

Hilltoppers coach Rhyen Staley hopes to learn some more about his squad this week, which got underway on Thursday with a nonconference match at Plainfield South and concludes Saturday at the Joliet West tournament.

JCA got challenged in both games by an improved Cougars team before eventually pulling away to capture a 25-16, 25-14 victory to kick off the season.

“The kids were fired up and excited about playing their first game,” Staley said. “Practices were a little hard for them to focus on because of their excitement, so tonight we just wanted to go out there and play a little bit. Plainfield South did some really nice things to make things competitive. Like everybody else, there’s stuff that we have to get better at.

“We have a very intelligent group, so when you talk to them about stuff, it makes a lot of sense to them. They get along really well, and they enjoy each other and they work real hard so there’s a lot of good things there. They’ve been together, especially the senior class, and have really developed and grown. In practices, we’re getting it from both sides of the net because we’re deep, we have quality competition going, and that really helps.”

The Hilltoppers used five seniors among their initial seven players during their opener.

They included Aron Goeken (23 assists), Tony Allen, Chandler Kowaliczko (three kills), Dominic Gallo and Jason Turley. Jeff Budz (three kills), Colin Egan, Mitch Gustafson and Andrew Scordo are the squad’s other seniors.

“We’re really looking for-

“We’ve really been hitting it hard in workouts and practices to try to step up our game going into the season. We have one of the strongest team camaraderie that I’ve seen, and I’ve

played with some of these kids since fifth grade. We’re pretty much all brothers on this team.

We really want to make a name for JCA’s volleyball team.”

One player who figures to help that cause is junior Blake Reardon, who was one of the area’s top outside hitters a year

ago as a sophomore and figures to be even better this season.

He collected 10 kills on Thursday, while junior Ben Gabor added three kills.

“We’ve got a bunch of kids that are coming back and are learning a lot and we’re training hard and are ready for the season,” Reardon said. “I’m pretty excited. I hope that we can do well in regionals, and we’ll see what happens.

I played a lot of club ball and trained hard, so I’m really excited to play with everybody.

I really like our group since there’s no drama. We’re such good friends, and we all play hard and no one complains.”

The Cougars put up good fights in both games, trailing only 15-13 in the opener and 1211 in the finale before they hurt their cause with unforced errors.

South coach Taryn Surbaugh is excited about the progress that her program is showing from a year ago. She went with seniors Adam Burt,

Ethan Mayer and Cody Viertel in the first seven. Other Cougar seniors are Adrian Ayala, Ryan Fleming and Zain Shah.

Also among the first players on the court for South in the match were juniors Rhome Apton, Keith Carlton and Nick Welter and sophomore Brandon Langys.

“Building a program takes time but the system is starting to get there,” Surbaugh said.

“Now that I’m in my second year, I’m starting to see things pick up in that they’re responding to the feedback and me as a coach. I liked what I saw today, and it definitely shows promise in things that we need to work on and things that we need to grow in.

“What I like the most about this team is its camaraderie. It’s completely different this year since there’s no messing around.

They know that they’re going to get along and work as a team, and if they’re not going to do that, then they’re not going to play.”

The ASSOCIATED PRESS CLEVELAND – Notre Dame’s march through March is picking up speed.

Demetrius Jackson scored 20 points and the third-seeded Irish dominated Wichita State, 81-70, in the Midwest regional semifinals Thursday night to advance to the Elite Eight for the first time in 36 years.

The Irish (32-5) shot 75 percent (18 of 24) in the second half, easily pulling away from the seventh-seeded Shockers (30-5) after Wichita State took its first and only lead on a layup by Darius Carter early in the second half. Pat Connaughton added 16 points and 10 rebounds for Notre Dame and Jerian Grant had nine points and 11 assists as the Irish won their eighth straight.

Notre Dame will play either unbeaten Kentucky or West Virginia on Saturday night with a Final Four spot on the line.

Fred VanVleet led Wichita State with 25 points but the Shockers simply couldn’t keep up with the sharp-shooting Irish.

The Shockers appeared ready to take control after climbing out of a 13-point deficit to go up 38-37 on Carter’s basket with 16:37 to go. Jackson knocked down a 3-pointer to put the Irish back in front and Wichita State – eyeing a rematch with the Wildcats in the regional final after Kentucky

ended the Shockers’ perfect season last spring – couldn’t respond.

Notre Dame didn’t give them a chance.

Once Grant decided to become a distributor after missing his all five of his first-half shots, the Irish soared. Notre Dame hit eight straight during a 38-18 surge that left Wichita State reeling pushed the Irish to the Elite Eight for the first time since 1979.

Paige added 12 points for the Tar Heels.

The teams shot exactly the same – 46 percent – for the game, but the Badgers improved to 58 percent in the second half and made 20 of 23 free throws to keep their hopes of a second straight Final Four berth alive.

The Tar Heels were trying to reach a regional final for the first time since back-to-back appearances in 2011 and ’12.

Kershaw whiffs 8 Sox in 1st outing since injury

LOS ANGELES – Sam Dekker scored a career-high 23 points, Frank Kaminsky added 19 and top-seeded Wisconsin rallied in the final 10 minutes to hold off North Carolina, 79-72, Thursday night and advance to the final eight of the NCAA Tournament.

Zak Showalter came off the bench to score six points in the Badgers’ 19-7 comeback run that sent them into the West Regional final Saturday against either No. 2 seed Arizona or sixth-seeded Xavier.

Brice Johnson and Justin Jackson scored 15 points each for the fourth-seeded Tar Heels (26-12), who got within one with 4:21 remaining but couldn’t retake the lead they owned for much of the second half.

Marcus Paige hit consecutive 3-pointers that drew Carolina within one with 54 seconds to go, but Wisconsin (34-3) made all eight of its free throws

Pujols hits 3-run homer, Angels beat Cubs 8-4

MESA, Ariz. – Albert Pujols hit a three-run homer and Jered Weaver struck out eight as the Los Angeles Angels beat the Cubs, 8-4, Thursday.

Cubs left-hander Travis Wood homered off Weaver leading off the fifth as a pinch hitter. Wood hit three homers last season. He pitched Wednesday.

Weaver gave up four runs – three earned – and six hits in 51⁄3 innings.

“Everything is coming along nice,” Weaver said. “Location is good. Off-speed stuff is good when I need it. I’m happy with where I’m at.”

Mike Olt hit a two-run homer and a triple for the Cubs.

Cubs rookie slugger Kris Bryant, who has nine homers this spring, went 0 for 4 with three strikeouts. But he excelled in his first game in the

GLENDALE, Ariz. – Clayton Kershaw will have to avoid certain foods for at least a few more days. Everything else seems to be right on track for the Los Angeles Dodgers’ ace.

Kershaw struck out eight in six innings, and Yasiel Puig and Jimmy Rollins homered to help the Dodgers defeat the White Sox, 9-6, on Thursday.

The left-hander showed no ill effects from his previous outing against Oakland last Friday, when he was hit in the jaw by a line drive and chipped a tooth. He gave up four hits and a run, walking one and recording at least one strikeout in every inning while lowering his spring training ERA to 1.86.

Rollins also drove in a run with a groundout and hit an RBI double off Sox starter Brad Penny.

Puig connected in the second inning with a runner aboard off Penny, who is trying to fill a temporary opening in the Sox’s rotation. It was the Cuban outfielder’s fifth home run of the spring; only Cubs prospect Kris Bryant, with nine, has more in the Cactus League.

OUR VIEW

Thumbs-up to working to stop Joliet violence The Herald-News Editorial Board offers this week’s thumbs-ups and thumbs-down: Thumbs-up: to Joliet pastors – Clint Wilburn and Lonnie Posley – for standing up to the recent Joliet shootings by starting the Stop the Gun Violence Epidemic Initiative.

Through this initiative, Wilburn and Posley plan to address the issue on multiple levels: legal, social, emotional and spiritual. This is not just talk.

In the last month, Wilburn and Posley have approached city officials, organized several events, collected signatures in support of sterner gun laws and talked to the community to get its input. They don’t intend to stop until they eradicate the violence.

We wish them success in their efforts.

Thumbs-down: To the will he/won’t he drama that took place before the recent New Lenox mayoral debate.

Candidate Ron Sly first said he wasn’t, then suddenly he was, attending a March 24 debate. Sly first said the debate was not going to be run independently, being organized by people who support Mayor Tim Baldermann. But when he found out the debate was going to be moderated by media representatives, he said, he suddenly changed his mind. Organizers say it was clear from the start the media would moderate the debate.

Candidates have rare opportunities to present themselves and their ideas before the public, and for Sly to tease sitting out one of those chances was just silly.

Thumbs-up: to the Joliet City Council for thinking local.

The Joliet Land Use and Legislative Committee voted Wednesday to recommend approval of an ordinance that would give local companies an edge on city contracts. It still needs approval from the full council, and there are details to work out.

But when it comes to providing services for Joliet residents, the council should look locally first.

These are tax dollars being spent; local businesses should have a fair shot at getting any contracts.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR PRESIDENT NEEDS COURSE ON AMERICAN HISTORY

WISHING FOR A BIG WELCOME TO SPRING

To the Editor:

To the Editor:

Question: How can the president compare what happened in Selma, a terrible time in our history when American citizens were denied their rights as citizens, to illegal aliens who are not American citizens?

Good question. Maybe our president needs a course in American History 101, or perhaps he is blinded by the millions of Latino votes his party wants. Wouldn’t it be better to look at the ideas being brought forward on a legal path to citizenship?

If I had one, I would have rolled out the red carpet to welcome spring.

CLIMATE CHANGE NOT DIFFICULT TO UNDERSTAND To the Editor:

This is a reply to the letter, “Polar vortex cause not difficult to understand,” that was on the Opinions page of The Herald-News’ March 13 edition.

Climate change is not difficult to understand: 97 percent of greenhouse gas is water vapor. Another 3

percent is CO2, and of that 3 percent, 1/10th of 1 percent is man-made. The sun is getting larger and will continue to do so. So is the Earth warming? It would have to be. NASA did testing, and Mars is getting warmer also. The sun is the reason for the change in our atmosphere.

The weather has been used to control the masses since before Christ.

So Chuck Johnson, I am an ignorant right-wing naysayer, according to you, who does not believe man is so great that he can control the uncontrollable. Also, I do not have to wait 20 years to tell you, “You are stupid.”

‘Integration of body, mind, spirit’ Retired Mokena pastor teaches adults to play at Joliet church

By DENISE M. BARAN–UNLAND dunland@shawmedia.com JOLIET – At age 75, Julie Haverty of Frankfort still believes in play dates and doesn’t mind driving to Joliet for one.

Haverty belongs to InterPlay, a worldwide social movement that reintroduces adults to the wisdom of play. A local group meets at Grace United Methodist Church in Joliet.

Nancy Pfaltzgraf of Mokena, who retired in 2012 as pastor from Plainfield Congregational UCC, leads the group.

Pfaltzgraf was Haverty’s universal dance teacher, and Haverty enjoyed learning dances belonging to different faith traditions, as well singing or chanting in the language of those traditions.

So when Pfaltzgraf said InterPlay had changed her life and highly recommended it, Haverty was in.

“I think most of us need a lot more playfulness and fun and spontaneity and joy,” Haverty said, “and all those things can happen with Nancy.”

Pfaltzgraf said she discovered InterPlay in 1995 while on sabbatical and took a semester-long class with Cynthia Winton-Henry, one of InterPlay’s co-founders.

InterPlay made her feel more alive and less stressed, Pfaltzgraf said. The goal is not to “fix” participants but to provide tools to enhance daily life and to cultivate an openness to life, whatever life may offer.

“It’s a powerful way to experience the integration of body, mind and spirit, and a playful, joyful affirming community,” Pfaltzgraf said. “It helps me to know who I really am, to discover my voice, share my story and just be who I feel I’m created to be, all while having fun.”

In the process, Pfaltzgraf learned what she called the “ethics of play.”

Pfaltzgraf agreed with George Bernard Shaw, who once said, “We don’t stop playing because we are old. We grow old because we stop playing.”

The ethics of play, Pfaltzgraf said, states that humans are meant to create joy, wisdom and beauty and that they are to create them playfully, spontaneously and in the moment.

“It keeps us flexible, spontaneous and in the moment and mystery,”

Pfaltzgraf said. “In the Judeo-Christian tradition, Jesus talks about becoming like a child to experience the realm of the divine.”

The “forms” used in InterPlay are simple practices, Pfaltzgraf said. One warmup activity is a series of walkrun-stop-change direction instructions performed to music. Another is to babble nonsensically to a partner for 30 seconds.

Variations gradually become more elaborate as participants loosen up.

“You change partners each time you do it so you get to know the other people in the room,” Pfaltzgraf said.

“Little by little, you share more of

who you are.”

Pfaltzgraf stressed that no set of instructions must be followed. If running is challenging, then walk. If arm swinging is challenging, then wiggle fingers, Pfaltzgraf said.

“You are the authority in what your body can do,” Pfaltzgraf said.

The group is open to new members.

Ages vary, but the Joliet InterPlay attracts more women than men and more people older than 60 than younger people because the group gathers during the day.

However, Pfaltzgraf added, college students have attended, and she is open to teens, as well. She had tried an evening group to attract young adults as well as working adults, but she didn’t have the attendance.

“Any age can come,” Pfaltzgraf said. “Having toddlers would be hard, but school-age children are fine.”

PUZZLES CROSSWORD

SUDOKU

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

Sometimes guesswork will be required

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Sherlock Holmes said, “I never guess. It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts.”

That might be true when investigating a murder, but is not necessarily so at the bridge table. Sometimes one does have to guess.

Take today’s deal for example.

South is in four spades. West leads the heart ace and continues with the heart king. What should South do?

After West opened one heart, East knew that he and his partner had a combined holding of at least 10 trumps. Applying the main conclusion from the Law of Total Tricks, he jumped to four hearts. Under pressure, South overcalled four spades, hoping for some support in the dummy.

In four spades, with this layout, if South ruffs the second heart, he can be defeated by careful defense.

Declarer will start to draw trumps, but when he sees the 4-1 break, he will be forced to switch to clubs. (If South draws all of the trumps, EastWest will run their hearts when in with the club ace.) But when declarer does lead clubs, West ducks the first round and notes his partner’s nine, the start of a high-low with a doubleton. West takes the second club and gives his partner a club ruff. Then, in the fullness of time, the defenders collect a diamond trick for down one.

Instead, South mustn’t ruff the second heart – he must discard his unavoidable diamond loser. Then the deal is under control, and the contract makes. It is a textbook loser-on-loser play. ******

“My daughter doesn’t need to look like a movie star.” I explained the goal was to keep her daughter from itching, and having other kids make fun of her rash.

• Use creams and ointments to stop the inflammation. Moisturizers may not be enough. Your child’s doctor may prescribe a cream or ointment containing a mildor medium-strength steroid to apply to the skin. Steroids are very effective, but it’s important not to overuse them.

That can lead to thinning of the skin and other side effects.

• Control the itch.

When kids scratch, it makes eczema worse.

Moisturizing sometimes helps. Medicines can make a difference, too.

Your doctor can help you choose the best medicine for your child. These may include stronger steroids or antihistamines.

• Prevent and treat any skin infections. Skin infections are common in people with eczema, and they, too, can make things worse. It’s important to call the doctor anytime the redness of eczema increases, or you see new crusting or drainage. That may be a sign of infection. Diluted bleach baths (putting a little bit of bleach in a big tub of water) a couple of times a week can help kill germs and keep the skin healthier.

It’s easy for parents not to take eczema seriously. Don’t be one of them. Kids can be traumatized by eczema if it’s not properly diagnosed and treated.

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

Dear Dr. K: I took my son to the doctor because he was constantly scratching his legs. The doctor says it’s eczema.

Is that just a fancy word for dry skin?

Dear Reader: Eczema, also called atopic dermatitis, is more than dry skin. It is an allergic skin condition that can make a child miserable.

Treatment can usually help control the condition and ease its symptoms.

Eczema can look different in different children. It can be bumpy or scaly, with small or big patches. The amount of redness also varies.

Dry, scaling skin usually occurs along with it.

Recently, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) released a report with the most up-to-date information and advice about eczema.

They said it is especially important to treat eczema in young children.

They made some recommendations for treatment and for preventing possible complications such as skin infections.

• Take good care of the skin. Children with eczema should not bathe too often because this dries out the skin. Ask your son’s doctor how often he should bathe.

However often, the baths should be short and lukewarm, not hot. The soap should be mild, without perfume.

The most important maintenance, though, is using an ointment-type moisturizer all over the body at least once a day.

Twice or more each day is even better. In my experience, some parents don’t really take this advice seriously.

I’m not a pediatrician, but sometimes my patients ask for advice about their kids’ health problems. I recall once telling a patient to cover her daughter with moisturizer at least once a day. The patient replied,

Dear Abby: I have been estranged from my sister for four years. She lives across the country, so it hasn’t been difficult to hold a grudge. Either because I’m turning 50 this year, or maybe it’s old-fashioned guilt, I have been feeling the right thing to do is to make amends.

My question is – how?

Should I write a letter, send an email or call her?

To be honest, if she made those efforts to me, I would rebuff them. The two of us are similar, so what would be a good way to bridge the conflict? – Hard-Headed

ungrateful that I’d rather receive one thoughtful present than a lot of expensive ones? – Down On Birthdays

In Houston Dear Down on Birthdays:

Excuse me, but you DO sound ungrateful. Your mother may not be as emotionally invested in birthday celebrations as you are. Or, she may do this because she wants to ensure that you have gifts for your birthday you can actually use.

Rather than criticize her generosity, why not mention in the weeks before your birthday what you might like to have? If you do, it might save her some money and you some frustration.

Dear Abby: My daughter is being married soon, and I have an enormous fear that I need some help with.

I can’t dance. At all. I took some lessons, but I have no sense of rhythm. Although I tell people I can’t and won’t dance, inevitably some guy has a little too much to drink and tries to drag me to the dance floor.

My husband dances and I encourage him to have a good time, but if he’s dancing and I’m sitting alone, someone is sure to ask me. Please help me with a good comeback or a little white lie to keep me off the dance floor. – Can’t Dance

In Colorado Dear Can’t Dance: I sup-

pose the most common little white lie would be to plead a sprained ankle. But a more honest reply would be to thank the person and say you prefer not to because you’re not comfortable on the dance floor.

Said with a smile, it shouldn’t offend anybody, even if he has had a few.

your sister, her knee-jerk reaction might be to hang up. If you email her, it’s too easy to hit “delete.”

Write her a letter. Tell her you love her, miss her and are sorry for the estrangement. If there is something you need to apologize for, do it in the letter.

Wait a week, then give her a call.

If she is as similar to you as you think, she may be as glad to hear your voice as you will be to hear hers. And if she’s not, your conscience will be clear because you tried.

Dear Abby: For the past few years, my mother, with whom I spend my birthday every year, has gotten into the habit of buying my birthday presents the day of. She waits until my birthday day, then buys them in a rush all at one store or suggests we go shopping together. She’s not stingy on price. In fact, she tends to spend more than I think she should.

What bothers me is she makes no effort to prepare a gift in advance and just asks me then and there what I want. She also often buys me a number of things I didn’t ask for.

The last thing I want to do on my birthday is go shopping. It has made me increasingly less excited about my birthday each year. How do I explain to her without sounding

FRIDAY HOROSCOPE TODAY – Timing and fiscal rigor will be key fac-

tors in how much success you have this year.

Weigh your options and make strategic plans that are cost-effective. Moderation, dedication, expertise and poise will lead to victory.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Social situations and group events will go as planned. Spend your time going over fine details that will separate you from the crowd. Don’t wait for anyone moping or lagging behind.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Intelligent and creative people will stimulate and motivate you.

A romantic connection will be enhanced if you attend a cultural event and are open to new experiences.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Career advance-

ment is apparent. Keep your credentials up-todate and carefully review the want ads or job postings in your area. A timely move will have a positive effect on your future.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – You will feel especially sensitive today. Stop and consider the consequences before you rush headlong into a confrontation. Think before you say something that you’ll regret later.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – You will be missing out on a golden opportunity if you sit at home. Be alert to what is happening around you. You will uncover some valuable information regarding an investment.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – You will form a special bond with a special someone if you spend a

romantic evening together. If you are single, it’s a favorable time to fall in love.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Being too outspoken will have its drawbacks. Get all the facts in order before you enter into a debate. Your credibility will be questioned if you are missing key information.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – It’s a good day to mix business with pleasure. Stimulating conversations with compatible people will sustain your interest and give you an opportunity to examine your own feelings, beliefs and future goals.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Ask for advice before you end up making a costly mistake.

Do your research before you get involved in a questionable situation. Without the proper

information, you are likely to lose out.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – You will need

to improvise if things don’t go as planned. Don’t get annoyed; get moving. Flexibility will allow you to make the most of any situation that arises.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – You can get ahead if you maintain your high work standard.

Playing fast and loose with the rules or doing less than your best will harm your reputation.

Be diligent.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Artistic and creative pursuits should be your focus. Let your imagination lead the way to a rewarding project or pastime. Don’t be afraid to try something unusual.

SATURDAY HOROSCOPE TODAY – Drive and focus will bring you the results you are striving for. Make a commitment to finish what you start, and let others know of the progress you are making. Be willing to learn from the mistakes of others. A lucrative partnership can be established, with the proper guidelines.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Don’t get caught up in petty disagreements. The problem that arises will work out in your favor if you are adaptable. If you share your ideas, your value will be recognized.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Keep moving. Get out with friends or relatives and have some fun. The busier you are, the happier you will be.

Be a participant and a contributor.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Reevaluate your position. Determine what you want to accomplish and formulate a plan that will help you achieve your goal. Don’t depend on others to show you the way.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Your sensitivity will likely lead to an unintentional slight that hurts someone’s feelings. Choose your words carefully and don’t take offense if someone is critical.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Don’t get involved with behind-the-scenes intrigue or shady behavior.

You will be judged by your actions, making it important not to get involved in acts that might tarnish your reputation.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – You have a lot to

offer. Get involved in an organization that helps underprivileged people. With your compassionate and caring attitude, you will make a meaningful contribution.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Excess should be avoided today. Some time at a spa, a shopping excursion or a new outfit will make you feel

good, as long as you stick to your budget.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Tension will be running high. Consider backing down if someone approaches you with a conflicting idea.

You can avoid turmoil if you keep your ideas to yourself and go about your business.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Regardless of your age, you need to get serious about your health. There is lots of information available, so find a routine that works for you. You’ll feel better and accomplish more as a result.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Don’t wait for an opportunity to come to you. Get out and network. Your community offers plenty of options that will get you out of the house and rubbing elbows with the movers and shakers.
