Keeping it short today readers, because we have a lot of news, sports and features to fit into this Sunday’s paper.

I wanted to share with you, however, that you’ll find the focus of much of the next week’s worth of Herald-News editions to be on elections.

You’ll find candidate profiles and other election-related stories in our editions leading up to the April 7 election.

It’s our hope that blanketing readers with information about candidates running for offices such as municipal, school and park boards in the week leading up to Election

VIEWS Kate Schott Day will inspire more people to make their voice heard and vote in this election.

Generally speaking, municipal races will be profiled during the week, with school boards slotted for next Sunday’s edition.

For some of the higher profile races in our circulation area, we’ve sent questions to candidates about their positions and plan to post their responses early this

week (hopefully by Tuesday) at www.theherald-news.com/ election-central so you can read on your own time where they stand.

You can find the full ballot at www.thewillcountyclerk. com/connect/site/ in Will County, and www.grundyco. org/election-information in Grundy County. And I encourage you to seek out websites for candidates as well to learn more about what each one believes.

Police increase patrols at Joliet Armory as ‘preventative measure’

By BOB OKON bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Police have stepped up patrols around the Joliet Armory as a “preventative measure,” although Joliet Police Chief Brian Benton said he has no information there is any threat to the building in the aftermath of Wednesday’s arrest of a terrorist suspect who has trained there.

Illinois National Guard soldier Hasan Edmonds, who primarily trained at the Joliet Armory, was arrested Wednesday night and accused of plotting with his cousin to attack a military facility where he trained in northern Illinois.

The complaint filed against Edmonds does not name the facility. Lt. Col. Brad Leighton, a spokesman for the Illinois National Guard, would not specify where the alleged targeted military installation was.

He did say Edmonds primarily trained at the Joliet Armory and noted that the unit occasionally also trained at a facility in Marseilles. Edmonds was with Golf Company 634th Brigade Support Battalion, which is based in Joliet.

Benton said Friday he has not been told the facility in question was the Joliet Armory.

The Illinois National Guard facility on Jefferson Street in Joliet on Friday. that the armory was a target, but in light of the news stories that came out yesterday from the FBI, we’ve increased our patrols as a preventative measure,” Benton said.

Edmonds, 22, had trained at the Joliet Armory since 2011.

He was arrested Wednesday at Midway International Airport in Chicago while trying to board a plane for a trip that eventually would take him to Egypt, according to prosecutors.

Edmonds allegedly was planning to join Islamic State forces.

His cousin, Jonas Edmonds, 29, is accused of planning to carry out an attack with the

intention to kill between 100 and 150 people at a military installation where his cousin had trained. Jonas Edmonds also was arrested Wednesday.

Jonas Edmonds asked an FBI undercover employee to assist in the attack, and said they would use his cousin’s uniforms and information he provided about how to access the installation and target officers, according to a news release from the FBI. Hasan and Jonas Edmonds live in Aurora and are U.S. citizens.

COVER STORY

By BOB OKON bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Candidates for Joliet mayor are sticking close to their messages as the campaign enters its last full week before the April 7 election.

Mayor Tom Giarrante is trying to convince voters the city has come a long way in four years. Councilman Bob O’Dekirk hopes voters agree with him that the city has been headed in the wrong direction.

And Andy Mihelich thinks he can persuade voters to try a different path.

“I’m getting a lot of comments that I’m staying out of the line of fire between the mayor and the councilman,” Mihelich said.

Giarrante, first elected to the City Council in 1997, said he has not done any polling and never has in his Tom campaigns.

“We’re just Giarrante working hard.

I’m sure everybody is,” Giarrante said when asked what he had planned for the Andy last week of the Mihelich campaign.

O’Dekirk has done polls and said he is “pleased” with what they show.

“I feel really good Bob about things,” O’Dekirk O’Dekirk said.

“I’ve heard a lot of positive things in the campaign. I feel people are very excited.”

Whether people are excited enough to show up and vote may be another matter.

City elections typically draw a small share of eligible voters.

About 21 percent of Joliet voters cast ballots in 2011, when Giarrante was first elected mayor out of a field of nine candidates.

Lathan Goumas – lgoumas@shawmedia.com

Joliet mayoral candidates Andy Mihelich and Bob O’Dekirk listen as Mayor Tom Giarrante speaks March 25 during a candidates forum in Joliet.

Those candidates included Mihelich, who received 14 percent of a total vote split up in so many ways that Giarrante won with 26 percent.

‘101 Ideas’

Mihelich hopes to keep people who voted for him last time and add more. He promotes himself as an alternative to Giarrante and O’Dekirk.

“I think we’re making strides in convincing people that my views are completely separate and my ideas are completely different,” Mihelich said.

Mihelich, who serves as chairman of the Joliet Junior College board, has tried to attract interest in his “101 New Ideas for a New Joliet” plan.

The plan posted on his website runs a gamut of possibilities. Some are simple, such as turning vacant lots into neigh-

Others would be significant changes in city policy, such as selling Silver Cross Field if it cannot be converted into a multi-use facility and converting the annual $600,000 subsidy for the Rialto Square Theatre into “accountable incentive payments.”

“I have a totally different, bold new vision for Joliet,” Mihelich said.

The councilman

O’Dekirk, first elected to the City Council in 2011, also

has presented himself as a candidate of change. He’s been aggressive in blaming Giarrante for people’s tax bills, unplowed streets and distrust in city government.

During the course of the campaign, he has called the mayor a liar and believes voters feel the same way.

“I get the response that people don’t feel Mayor Giarrante has been on the up and up,” O’Dekirk said.

He contends one of Giarrante’s biggest campaign claims – that the mayor led the city out

of a financial situation where it faced a $17 million deficit – was used to prop up a series of tax and fee increases passed a few months after the 2011 election.

The projected $17 million deficit was the big issue of the 2011 campaign, when the city was still trying to emerge from the recession. But by the time the 2012 budget was proposed at the end of the year, the deficit was gone.

At the time, then-City Manager Thomas Thanas was adamant the deficit was only brought under control through the tax and fee increases, combined with a series of budget cuts and savings that included a pay freeze for employees.

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com NEW LENOX – A two-term incumbent faces two political newcomers in the April 7 mayoral election in New Lenox.

Tim Baldermann, who ran unopposed in 2011, is being challenged by resident Andrew Englebrecht and retired village employee Ron Sly.

Andrew Englebrecht

Englebrecht, 24, is a lifelong village resident, but attended Bradley University, where he earned a bachelor’s degree in social work. He also spent a semester in Denmark studying European political systems. He is employed as a cook.

Englebrecht believes Baldermann has prioritized commercial development over responding to residents’ concerns.

“If we’re going to sell off to large corporations, that’s needless growth if it’s not reinvested locally,” Englebrecht said. “I would make a greater effort making sure everybody’s voices are heard.”

Englebrecht believes state budget constraints will be the biggest challenge for the village and would promote projects that could become self-sustaining.

“I’d love to start a community garden [to] stock up the local food pantry and have local restaurants use the produce,” Englebrecht said.

the bar on guiding commercial development’s traffic control and aesthetics. We’ve got to make sure the Route 30 corridor doesn’t run away looking like LaGrange Road.”

Sly also believes Gov. Bruce Rauner’s plans to cut state funding will be the biggest challenge for New Lenox in the next four years.

Ron Sly

Tim Baldermann

Sly, 55, has lived in New Lenox for 54 years. He spent 35 years with the village’s public works department – 21 as superintendent and two as operations director – before retiring in 2013.

“I’d like to apply my experience with how the village is run and get back to core services the village should be providing,” Sly said.

Sly believes road maintenance and police services should be prioritized and would like to install or replace sidewalks and roadways in the village’s older neighborhoods.

“We’ve got high standards on residential development,” Sly said. “But we need to raise

Baldermann, 48, has lived in the village for 21 years. He is superintendent of Union School District 81 and the former Chicago Ridge police chief. New Lenox has become the second-fastest growing town in Will County during his administration.

“No matter what happens in the next four years, we’re going to grow. People want to live here and we have to stay on top of the infrastructure,” Baldermann said.

The mayor believes road-widening projects and constructing arterial roads are the best ways to deal with that growth.

“I believe I still have the best qualifications to be may-

Three seek seats on Joliet Park Board

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Three candidates are vying for a seat on the Joliet Park District Board, but just two spots are available.

Board President Glen Marcum seeks a second four-year term. He’s up against city employee Joe Mutz and retired Joliet police chief Mike Trafton.

Glen Marcum

Marcum, 54, is a lifelong Joliet resident. He attended Joliet Central High School and later earned a bachelor’s degree in automotive services.

He works at Bertino’s Auto Service.

Marcum said he seeks re-election to carry out what he and other park commissioners started when voters overwhelmingly approved a $19.5 million bond referendum for park facility upgrades in November 2014.

“I want to follow through and make sure the taxpayers’ money is spent well,” Marcum said.

Marcum said he and other park commissioners put a lot of work into surveying residents ahead of the ballot referendum about what upgrades they wanted.

Marcum said finding new ways to entice families and children to get outdoors and use the park’s facilities will

be a priority. Maintaining a balanced budget is also key, he said.

Joe Mutz

Mutz, 52, has been an equipment operator for the city of Joliet for 17 years. Before that, he worked in the maintenance department at the Forest Preserve District of Will County.

He’s a lifelong Joliet resident and graduate of Joliet West High School.

He said he wants to focus on strengthening park district programs for children with disabilities and senior citizens.

When asked if the park district lacks such programs, Mutz said he didn’t know

the specifics, but wanted to strengthen what’s already available.

“I’ve read over the last few months that the state is trying to cut a lot of the special needs stuff out of the state budget,” Mutz said. “My job would be to make sure that’s maintained at the local level.”

Mutz said he believes park facility upgrades are needed, but he doesn’t favor raising taxes to get the job done, referring to the $19 million referendum approved last fall. Scaling back the amount of money slated for future projects would be one of his priorities, he said.

Mike Trafton

Trafton, 51, retired from the

Joliet police force two years ago with 28 years experience under his belt, including two years as police chief.

He went to Lincoln-Way High School, earned his bachelor’s degree in law enforcement administration from Western Illinois University and went through the Staff and Command law enforcement leadership program from Northwestern University Center for Public Safety.

His time with the police force, overseeing the budget and personnel, makes him qualified for the Park Board, he said.

Rauner visits Joliet, presses right-to-work zone agenda

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS

Gov. Bruce Rauner speaks Friday at the University of St. Francis’ Robert W. Plaster Free Enterprise Center in Joliet.

lleonecross@shawmedia.com JOLIET – It wasn’t long after Gov. Bruce Rauner stepped up to the microphone Friday in downtown Joliet that he started talking about his push to limit labor unions across Illinois.

“Let’s talk about unions for a sec. I get bashed for being anti-union. I’m not anti-union,” Rauner said. “I’m anti-conflict-of-interest in the government and I’m pro-growth and competition.”

Rauner repeatedly said he wants to give local governments power to enact right-towork zones – or areas where voters could decide if workers should be required to pay association dues or join a union.

The comments came during his speech before a roomful of local and state officials, policymakers, university leaders and others Friday at the University of St. Francis’ Robert W. Plaster Free Enterprise Center, 16 W. Van Buren St. in Joliet.

“You should get to decide what should be collectively bargained in your county government,” Rauner continued.

“It’s your government. You should decide what should get bargained in your schools. If you want a very strong teachers union, terrific. I’d have no issues. But you should decide.”

Rauner has continued to push his right-to-work zone agenda in other cities across Illinois despite Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan issuing an opinion earlier this month saying such right-towork zones violate federal labor laws.

Business-friendly policies

said. “Just to have that dialogue, I see a huge benefit.”

But Greuling said such policy changes may not be the answer for Illinois. There isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution, Greuling said, citing other issues, such as Illinois’ unfunded pension liability and policies for workers compensation.

The instability has led to a hostile business environment, he said.

“Unless there’s a plan out there that businesses can get comfortable with, they’re going to be very uncertain about being in Illinois,” Greuling said.

Pam Owens, executive director of the Joliet City Center Partnership, told Rauner she’d like to see more incentives to bring small businesses to the downtown area and asked Rauner what his plans are to revitalize downtown districts across Illinois.

Rauner didn’t offer specifics, but said downtowns are suffering because they’re “generally hostile” toward job creation and growth.

“Small business entrepreneurs love the downtown culture and the diversity in our inner cities and would like to come here,” Rauner said. “But we have too much red tape and regulations.”

John Greuling, president and CEO for the Will County Center for Economic Development, said the governor’s office reached out to his organization and to USF about Friday’s visit to discuss Rauner’s turnaround agenda.

Greuling applauded Rauner’s willingness to come out to a fairly unionized county to Illiana Expressway, transportation challenges open up dialogue.

Rauner also talked of Will “He’s having a pretty frank discussion about his way of County’s role in Illinois’ ecolooking at things to make a dif- nomic growth.

“Will County’s one of the ference in Illinois. And I think that’s pretty bold,” Greuling strongest parts of the state.

… But you can do way better.

Way better. ... You are arguably in the best location in all of America,” Rauner said.

He pointed to the county’s proximity to Chicago, its abundance of farmland and freight, and its strength surrounding the movement of goods because of the two trucking intermodals in Joliet and Elwood.

Rauner was hesitant to give an opinion Friday when asked about the proposed Illiana Expressway project – a planned 47-mile tollway that would stretch from Interstate 55 in Wilmington to Interstate 65 near Lowell, Indiana.

Rauner put the transportation project, along with several other majors one, on hold soon

after taking office in January.

The project has been “under review” since then, Rauner said.

“There are many projects around the state that we’re going to assess,” Rauner told reporters. “I have had many folks come to me who are very thoughtful and very much into detail and are strong, adamant supporters of the Illiana Expressway. And I have many thoughtful experts from around the state who have said this would be a terrible project.”

When speaking with reporters after his speech, Rauner said despite the county’s positives, its competitiveness is hampered by its transportation infrastructure challenges.

“Will County is strategically located with the transportation networks for intermodals, with the highways, with the rail systems, with the canal,” he said. “And right now, we’ve got bottlenecks.”

Rauner wouldn’t say whether the Illiana is the answer to the transportation challenges.

The ASSOCIATED PRESS WILMINGTON – The federal supervisor of a tallgrass prairie in Wilmington has signed onto a project to introduce a small herd of bison into the grasslands.

Midewin National Tallgrass Prairie Supervisor Wade Spang announced Fri-

day he’s signed a final decision notice for the project at the prairie.

The experiment will include a mix of younger and mature animals to begin a small herd at the prairie that’s overseen by the U.S. Forest Service.

The project was proposed in 2012 and is a partnership

with the National Forest Foundation and other groups.

National Forest Foundation president Bill Possiel says the herd “will be a big draw for Chicago residents.”

Fencing, water sources and other elements must be installed before the bison can arrive at the Wilmington-area prairie.

The Joliet Historical Preservation Commission will meet with park officials to discuss the future of two buildings at Nowell Park.

Joliet commission undecided about Nowell Park landmarks JOLIET – The Joliet Historic Preservation Commission will meet with park officials to discuss the future of two Nowell Park buildings.

The commission has considered landmark status for the old, unused pool building and an outdoor pavilion at Nowell Park, which is at Route 53 and Doris Avenue in Joliet.

At its Wednesday meeting, the commission decided it would discuss the matter further with officials at the Joliet

Park District, which owns the park, said Kendall Jackson, the city of Joliet commission liaison.

The commission went to Nowell Park in February to examine the buildings.

Landmark status, if it preserved the buildings, could affect park district plans to build a recreation center on the East Side. Nowell Park is considered the likely location for such a center.

If the commission approves landmark status, the Joliet City Council would have to approve it before it could take effect.

Schools with low ratings

In Will County, Lincoln-Way School High School District 210 declined from early warning to financial watch – the lowest rating – meaning ISBE will monitor it closely and offer technical assistance.

Superintendent Scott Tingley said the New Lenox-based school district had to deficit spend the past several years and revenues have declined, along with state funding. The local economy has not grown enough since the 2009 recession, he said.

“Our revenue from the state side and from local taxpayers has been less than anticipated,” Tingley said.

Tingley said the school district has made hard decisions to keep up with economic challenges, such as cutting teacher and administrator positions, as well as cutting or reducing programs. Because of declining state funding for schools, he anticipates the financial watch list to grow

“Just controlling those costs have been a big impact over the last three to four years,” he said.

School staff has even reworked school lighting so it’s more efficient and uses fewer kilowatts to save on money, he said. The schools have maintained balanced budgets over the past several years despite reduced state funding, he said.

“We’ve been pretty fortunate,” Russell said.

Other Will and Grundy school districts scoring recognition status include: Coal City Unit District 1, Channahon School District 17, Joliet Township High School District 204, Lockport Township High School District 205 and Fairmont School District 89.

What’s Everyone Saying About Mike:

• Sunday, March 29, 2015

JOLIET – The Illinois State Board of Education has rated the financial health of school districts statewide, showing continued budget strain and declining revenues.

Among major school districts in Will and Grundy counties, several maintained decent financial ratings from the ISBE, but two have shown declines. School leaders said reduced state funding and a struggling economy have made maintaining budgets a challenge.

The ISBE 2015 Financial Profile Report – based on 2014 state data – shows the number of school districts earning top ratings from the state declined once again. The number of school districts falling into the lowest ratings has steadily increased since 2012.

ISBE ratings are categorized by the highest (financial recognition) to the lowest (financial watch). ISBE uses five indicators of performance for

school districts.

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A man with an extensive criminal history pleaded guilty Friday to drug and weapons charges.

Cleveland V. Grimes, 41, faces at least six years in prison when he is sentenced later this year by Judge Edward Burmila. Assistant Will County State’s Attorney Mike Knick said prosecutors have agreed not to seek a sentence longer than 17 years.

By pleading guilty to one count of delivery of cocaine and one count of unlawful use

of a weapon by a felon, Grimes had five other charges dismissed.

In October 2010, the Joliet Narcotics Unit had an undercover informant “wear a body wire” Cleveland while he met V. Grimes with Grimes to purchase $1,200 worth of cocaine, Knick said. On December 16, 2010, police searched Grimes’ home in Bolingbrook and found a 9 mm Luger Grimes admitted was his, according to Knick.

Burmila warned Grimes he could be sentenced to 30 years in prison and fined $1 million, but Knick said prosecutors agreed the fine will not exceed $7,000. Grimes answered Burmila’s questions quickly and thanked the judge as he left the courtroom.

Other charges

In October 2014, Grimes was arrested on unrelated charges of aggravated battery to a police officer, resisting arrest and driving under the influence of alcohol. He would receive a consecutive sentence if he is convicted on

those charges.

On Aug. 27, 2007, Robert L. Barefield, 18, was sitting at the bar of One-Stop Liquor & Bar watching a lingerie show, when Grimes arrived and stepped on Jeff Lindsey’s foot, investigators said. Lindsey, a relative of Barefield, clubbed Grimes with the butt of a handgun before he started shooting at him, according to authorities.

Police alleged Grimes dove over the bar and went into the adjacent liquor store, where he saw a gun by the counter, and returned fire into the tavern, killing the uninvolved

Barefield.

Grimes was indicted on murder charges the following April and arrested in June. He was acquitted during a nineday trial in October 2008 when a jury decided he had acted in self-defense.

He was sentenced to three years in prison after pleading guilty to the March 1993 shooting of “a rival gang member’s car.”

He has multiple convictions for criminal trespass to a vehicle, unlawful use of a weapon and six pages of traffic offenses on his court record.

Murder suspect continues to act as his own attorney murder case.

Gomez had asked for the county to pay for a Virginia-based analyst to show where a phone call was made in relation to a cellular tower. Prosecutors used cellular records during the first trial

to show Gomez was near Peotone when Salamie was killed.

“You’re absolutely entitled to hire experts [at the county’s expense] if you can show the relevance. Not have a fishing expedition to the tune of $6,000,” Goodman said.

JOLIET – A murder suspect who is acting as his own attorney needs to show a judge why it’s worth hiring an expert to refute cellphone records.

During court Friday, Judge Carmen Goodman repeatedly asked Martin Elvis Gomez to reconsider using the public defender’s office for his second trial in a 2007 slaying.

“You [raise] some good issues. You’re in the vicinity, but you’re not knocking this out of the park,” Goodman said as she denied the motions Gomez wrote himself. Goodman noted the expertise of an attorney would know when certain points could be addressed to best make his arguments.

The body of Joseph N. Salamie, 58, was found May 10, 2007, near a fence on his 10acre farm on South Harlem Avenue, just north of Peotone Road. Prosecutors say Gomez, who had once lived in a trailer at the farm, stabbed his former landlord 111 times, slit his throat and stole $1,200.

Salamie owned Sight and Sound Novelty Shop in Westmont and raised racehorses.

Following a 2011 trial, Gomez was convicted of Salamie’s murder and sentenced to 55 years in prison.

He received a separate 19-year prison sentence for trying to hire a gang member to kill an ex-girlfriend who testified

against him.

But the appellate court found while Judge Richard Schoenstedt warned Gomez about the risks of representing himself, he did not give required admonishments and ordered a new trial in the

But Parrott, 45, developed a passion for the profession and after 15 years at Wesmere Elementary School, his efforts are being recognized by Golden Apple, a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting teacher excellence in Illinois.

Parrott was named one of 30 finalists statewide for the Golden Apple Award for Excellence in Teaching, given each year to 10 teachers. He is one of three Plainfield School District 202 teachers named a finalist in recent years.

Parrott said he’s proud of being a finalist.

“It’s doing your job 100 percent and making the most of every day,” he said about teaching. “I’m really big on being an advocate for [students].”

Golden Apple award finalists were chosen from a pool of more than 600 nominees throughout Chicago and surrounding suburban communities.

Golden Apple award winners will be announced in May, and they will receive a paid quarter sabbatical to Northwestern University.

They also will receive a $5,000 award and induction into the Golden Apple Academy of Educators.

After teaching first-grade students at Wesmere Elementary School for 13 years, Parrott now teaches second-grade students.

On Friday, he gave guided reading lessons to students, while others were engaged in literacy-based activities. He said it’s wonderful to work with second-grade students because they have a strong desire to learn.

“Every day is different,” Parrott said. “It’s a great age because they love learning.

They love being in school and

Parrott said he didn’t start out wanting to be a teacher. He said in his last year of college, majoring in communications,

he became a university teaching assistant.

“I kind of liked that teacher role,” he said. “A few years later, I went back and got my elementary certificate.”

Tom Hernandez, Plainfield School District 202 spokesman, said Parrot being a finalist shows how wonderful all the district’s teachers are.

“It’s such a tough profession with so many challenges. … The fact that you find teachers who are enthusiastic for what they do is in some ways remarkable,” he said.

Hernandez said he wished all teachers would get the award.

“In some ways, they kind of all deserve it,” he said.

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Access to downtown Joliet was hampered Friday morning as icy bridges caused several accidents.

Deputy Police Chief Ed Gregory said a white sedan crossed over the Jefferson Street Bridge shortly after 8 a.m. and struck a fuel tanker preparing to turn onto Jefferson from Des Plaines Street.

“It appeared the driver was trying to make a turn onto Des Plaines but slid into the front of the [truck] cab due to the ice,” Gregory said. No one was injured, but diesel fuel from the truck spilled onto the roadway.

“While we were on the scene of that accident, there

was a two-car accident right past the bridge where no one was injured and they were able to pull off into the Joliet Township [offices] parking lot,” Gregory said. “No sooner had they pulled off when more cars started sliding and there was a five-car pileup.”

Gregory said there also weren’t any serious injuries in the chain-reaction crash, but “lots of property damage.”

Jefferson Street was closed at Center Street while city crews plowed and laid salt on the road and bridge deck. Police also had the McDonough and Jackson Street bridges closed until the ice could be cleared from them, but no accidents were reported, Gregory said.

• MAYORAL RACE

Continued from page 3 of his case for re-election on the city’s improved financial condition since 2011.

“We were looking at a $17 million deficit. That deficit is gone,” he said. “We have a $35 million reserve.”

Giarrante contends O’Dekirk has not been truthful in telling voters that he opposed the tax and fee increases, which the mayor says have been included in every budget since 2012. Giarrante said O’Dekirk, who voted against the tax increases, voted for

subsequent budgets.

“He claims he didn’t support the tax increases,” Giarrante said. “But the tax raise was included in the 2013, 2014 and 2015 budgets, and that’s how we got our [budget] reserves.”

Giarrante points to improvements in the city’s financial condition along with the arrival of new businesses and improved employment rates in Joliet in making his case for re-election.

Asked whether O’Dekirk’s campaign may have convinced voters otherwise, Giarrante said, “We’re going to find that out on Election Day.”

3 contend for 2 spots on board • PARK BOARD

Continued from page 4 Trafton said he serves on the Joliet Park District’s Foundation Board and as an ambassador for the ALS Association.

He’s also a mentor with Big

Brothers Big Sisters and a recipient of the Joliet Chamber of Commerce Community Service Award.

“This is way to give back to Joliet,” he said. “I think I would be good at it. The people in this town have been very good to me.”

Increased patrols a preventive measure • ARMORY

Continued from page 2 informant allegedly visited the targeted facility Tuesday.

Hasan Edmonds went inside to get a training schedule, according to the complaint filed against him.

Benton said he was contacted by the FBI before the arrests were made.

“I did have communication with a special agent of the FBI to let me know that the arrest was pending and this suspect had trained at the armory and that there would likely be calls from the media,” Benton said. “We work closely with the FBI.” Benton, however, said he was never told there was a threat to public safety at the Joliet Armory. The armory is located at Jefferson Street and Infantry Drive in a heavily traveled commercial district beside Memorial Stadium.

In this courtroom sketch, Jonas M. Edmonds (left) and Hasan R. Edmonds (right) stand in front of an FBI agent as they appear Thursday at a hearing at federal court in Chicago following their arrests Wednesday on charges of conspiring with the Islamic State group.

“I’m confident that if there was a threat outside of that establishment, the FBI, the Illinois National Guard and the Joliet Police Department would work together

to secure that area,” Benton said. “At this time, we have no information that there is a threat to the area. We have increased patrols simply as a preventative measure.”

MY HOSPITAL CAN HELP PROVIDE RELIEF If you experience an uncomfortable burning sensation in your chest after meals, you’re not alone. About 20% of Americans experience gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Heartburn is the most common symptom, but more serious conditions can happen. With proper understanding of the causes of heartburn and knowing what treatments are available, most people can improve the quality of their life who live with this condition.

IT’S ONLY HEARTBURN – OR IS IT? Daksesh Patel, D.O., will discuss how GERD can be helped through lifestyle changes, medications and treatment options that stave off long-term complications to the esophagus.

Rockford schools to cut 103 positions

ROCKFORD – A northern Illinois school district says it will save $7.4 million in the coming fiscal year by eliminating more than 100 positions from its payroll.

The Rockford Register Star reported that 29 of the 103 positions are vacant and nearly half are administrative positions.

The cuts take effect at the end of the current school year. Superintendent Ehren Jarrett says that many of the employees affected by the cuts will move into jobs that become open through attrition.

Catholic bishops call for bell ringing marking war’s end

SPRINGFIELD – Illinois’ Catholic bishops are calling on schools and parishes across the state to ring their bells next month to mark the end of the Civil War. Archdiocese of Chicago officials say the plan arose out of the denomination’s annual meeting. The requested four-minute ringing of bells at 2:15 p.m. on April 9 would coincide with the very hour of the ceremony leading to the end of the four-year Civil War. It would also mark an end to slavery in the United States in 1865.

Officials say 150 years later, “all can benefit” from President Abraham Lincoln’s words advocating for “a just and lasting peace, among ourselves, and with all nations.”

Chicago universities study astronaut on 1-year space mission

CHICAGO – Three Chicago-area universities are taking part in the research to examine the health effects on an American astronaut of spending a year in space.

The Chicago Tribune reported that scientists from Northwestern University, the University of Illinois at Chicago and Rush Uni-

versity Medical School will focus on the links between bacteria, gastrointestinal health and sleep cycles. The Chicago team is one of 10 such NASA-funded groups.

Astronaut Scott Kelly and a Russian colleague floated into the International Space Station Saturday. They’re expected to spend 342 days in orbit.

That’s about twice as long as a standard mission on the station.

Another Russia astronaut will stay on board for six months.

Kelly’s 51-year-old identical twin will remain on Earth. Retired astronaut Mark Kelly will serve as a control subject in the research. Mark Kelly is the husband of former Congresswoman Gabby Giffords.

“It’s all about learning as much as we can about the effects of the space environment on human biology to be able to go to Mars, to be able to do the dream,” said Fred Turek, a Northwestern neurobiology professor.

“It’s going to take a while, but we’ll get there sooner or later.”

Martha Hotz Vitaterna, a professor at Northwestern’s Center for Sleep and Circadian Biology, said Scott Kelly proposed enlisting his twin for the research project.

A group of Northwestern students and professors and their families gathered in a classroom on the Evanston campus Friday to watch a live stream of the Soyuz shuttle launch. On display were food items in pouches, Tang juice, fruit snacks and moon pies to represent astronaut cuisine.

NASA has never flown anyone longer than seven consecutive months. The Russians hold the world record of 14 months in space.

Bones and muscles weaken in weightlessness, as does the immune system. Body fluids also shift into the head when gravity is absent, putting pressure on the brain and the eyes, impairing vision for some astronauts in space.

The yearlong stint will allow doctors to assess whether such conditions are aggravated by a long spell in space or whether they reach a point of stasis or even taper off.

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS Yemen’s president calls rebels ‘puppets of Iran’

SHARM EL-SHEIKH, Egypt – Yemen’s embattled president on Saturday called Shiite rebels who forced him to flee the country “puppets of Iran,” directly blaming the Islamic Republic for the chaos there and demanding airstrikes against rebel positions continue until they surrender.

Egypt’s president supported the creation of a regional Arab military force and a Gulf diplomat warned that Saudi-led airstrikes in Yemen could go on for months, raising the specter of a regional conflict pitting Sunni Arab nations against Shiite power Iran.

The comments by Arab leaders including Yemeni President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi, who fled his country only days earlier, came at an Arab summit largely focusing on the chaos there caused by the advance of the rebels, known as Houthis.

In NYC, task force fights home-as-hotel rentals

NEW YORK – From an office by the Brooklyn Bridge, a specialized team of investigators tackles a fast-growing concern in the nation’s biggest city: apartments being rented like hotel rooms.

Building and fire inspectors, police, lawyers, city tax specialists and others combine door-knocking, digital sleuthing and even video surveillance in an uncommon approach to an issue bubbling up around the country.

New York’s investigators have cited over 7,000 fire and building code violations, shut down over 200 short-term apartments and sued several operators over the last nine years, according to the Mayor’s Office of Special Enforcement. With Airbnb and other websites sparking a short-term rental boom, some lawmakers now want to triple the illegal-hotel investigation staff.

Attorneys: Sterilizations were part of plea deal talks NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Nashville prosecutors have made sterilization of women part of plea negotiations at least four times in the past five years, and the district attorney has banned his staff from using the invasive surgery as a bargaining chip after the latest case.

In the most recent case a woman with a 20-year history of mental illness had been charged with neglect after her 5-day-old baby mysteriously died. Her defense attorney says the prosecutor assigned to the case wouldn’t go forward with a plea deal to keep the woman out of prison unless she had the surgery.

Defense attorneys say there have been at least three similar cases in the past five years, suggesting the practice may not be as rare as people think and may happen more often outside the public view and without the blessing of a court.

Thousands of opponents of Indiana Senate Bill 101, the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, gathered Saturday on the lawn of the Indiana State House to rally against that legislation. Indiana’s law has been widely criticized by businesses and organizations around the country.

Hundreds rally against Indiana law, saying it’s discriminatory

By RICK CALLAHAN The Associated Press INDIANAPOLIS – Hundreds of people, some carrying signs reading “no hate in our state,” gathered Saturday outside the Indiana Statehouse for a boisterous rally against a new state law that opponents say could sanction discrimination against gay people.

Since Republican Gov. Mike Pence signed the bill into law Thursday, Indiana has been widely criticized by businesses and organizations around the nation, as well as on social media with the hashtag #boycottindiana.

Local officials and business groups around the state hope to stem the fallout, although consumer review service Angie’s List said Saturday that it is suspending a planned expansion in Indianapolis because of the new law.

The law’s supporters contend discrimination claims are overblown and insist it will keep the government from compelling people to

provide services they find objectionable on religious grounds. They also maintain that courts haven’t allowed discrimination under similar laws covering the federal government and 19 other states.

But state Rep. Ed DeLaney, an Indianapolis Democrat, said Indiana’s law goes further than those laws and opens the door to discrimination.

“This law does not openly allow discrimination, no, but what it does is create a road map, a path to discrimination,” he told the crowd, which stretched across the south steps and lawn of the Statehouse. “Indiana’s version of this law is not the same as that in other states.

It adds all kinds of new stuff and it moves us further down the road to discrimination.”

The measure, which takes effect in July, prohibits state laws that “substantially burden” a person’s ability to follow his or her religious beliefs. The definition of “person” includes religious

institutions, businesses and associations.

Angie’s List had sought an $18.5 million incentive package from Indianapolis’ City-County Council to add 1,000 jobs over five years.

But founder and CEO Bill Oseterle said in a statement Saturday that the expansion was on hold “until we fully understand the implications of the freedom restoration act on our employees.”

Saturday’s crowd, for which police didn’t have an exact estimate, chanted “Pence must go!” several times and many people held signs like “I’m pretty sure God doesn’t hate anyone” and “No hate in our state.”

Zach Adamson, a Democrat on Indianapolis’ City-County Council, said to cheers that the law has nothing to do with religious freedom but everything to do with discrimination.

“This isn’t 1950 Alabama; it’s 2015 Indiana,” he told the crowd, adding that the law has brought embarrassment on the state.

NATION BRIEF Colleges getting out of health insurance business

SEATTLE – The federal health care overhaul is leading some colleges and universities to get out of the health insurance business.

Experts are divided on whether this change will be good or bad for students. Some call it an inevitable result of health care reform and a money-saver for students since insurance in the marketplace is usually cheaper than the college plans. Others worry that more students will go

without health insurance.

The main driver of colleges getting out of the insurance business is a provision in the Affordable Care Act that prevents students from using premium tax subsidies to purchase insurance from their college or university, according to Steven M. Bloom, director of federal relations for the American Council on Education, a Washington, D.C., group representing the presidents of U.S. colleges and universities.

reported.

Wester said the archivists were surprised by revelations that Clinton had used only a personal email account and server during her Hillary days as secreRodham tary of state, Clinton raising concerns that “federal records may have been alienated from the Department of State’s official record-keeping systems,” as he put it in a letter to the department this month.

Clinton has said she used a personal email account for convenience, not to hide records.

She said she turned over all government-related emails to the State Department and deleted tens of thousands that were personal.

The Republican leading a House investigation of the 2012 attacks against Americans in Benghazi, Libya, when Clinton was secretary of state, said Friday that Clinton had wiped her email server “clean,” permanently deleting all emails from it. But Clinton’s lawyer said the department had all her work-related emails from the personal account.

Historian Luke Nichter of Texas A&M University-Cen-

tral Texas, said the episode demonstrates that record preservation rules are as flawed now as they were in Nixon’s time. He’s particularly concerned that individual agencies and, in some cases, individual officials, draw the line between what records should be part of the public record and what’s personal.

He adds that Nixon’s downfall, sealed by his taped conversations, taught modern politicians the value of “pre-emptive sanitization” – circumventing the records process – and they’re still at it today.

For example, he said, officials from both the Obama and George W. Bush administrations would sometimes meet people outside the White House complex so the contact wouldn’t show up on visitor logs.

Obfuscation and destruction of records are nothing new, and Zelizer says there are “tons of gaps” in the government’s history.

While some gaps are known, there are surely others that no one has an inkling of.

“Sometimes we don’t know what we don’t know,” says Nichter.

Among the known gaps: Q North, the National Security Council aide, testified during 1987 hearings over the Iran-Contra scandal – con-

cerning secret arms sales to Iran and illegal U.S. support for Nicaraguan rebels – that he was shredding documents even as Justice Department officials were reviewing papers in the next room.

“I mean, they were sitting in my office, and the shredder was right outside, and I walked out and shredded documents,” he told congressional investigators.

His secretary, Fawn Hall, who also smuggled out papers in her blouse, said the stack for the shredder was so tall that the machine jammed.

Q Nixon aide G. Gordon Liddy recalled “shredding stuff left and right” after the Watergate break-in.

More than four decades later, people still speculate about what might have been on the suspicious gap in Nixon’s tapes, despite secretary Rose Mary Woods’ explanation that she accidentally erased part of the tape when she stretched to answer a phone.

Nixon, it turns out, may have represented a high-water mark in records preservation by documenting himself so thoroughly, says Steven Aftergood, director of the Project on Government Secrecy at the Federation of American Scientists.

“His successors,” says Aftergood, “seem determined not to follow in his footsteps.”

Budget-patching deal dips into various state funds

By NICK SWEDBERG The Associated Press SPRINGFIELD – A bipartisan agreement to plug a $1.6 billion budget hole includes more than $1.3 billion in fund transfers from a variety of sources to avert shutdowns of Illinois state programs and services.

The move, signed into law

by Gov. Bruce Rauner on Thursday, digs into some of the largest piles of money in the state, including one intended to pay for highway construction, and some lesser known funds, such as ones to promote renewable energy sources and oversee the disposal of used

tires. These kinds of funds have at times in past years been raided to help close budget gaps. Rauner’s office said it carefully selected funds this year that have reserves of excess cash on hand.

A 2.25 percent across-theboard budget cut will cover what’s left of the shortfall, which arose when the Democrat-majority Legislature passed a $35.7 billion budget last spring that didn’t allocate enough money for expenses. A state child care program needed another $300 million to keeping going through June, while other state programs also were expected to run out of money.

Illinois Comptroller Leslie

Munger announced Friday she would expedite payments to child care providers, some of which had gone six weeks without promised state funding.

Illinois Senate President John Cullerton warned that drawing from the funds is a one-shot deal that is “not going to work in the future.”

Here are a few fund sweeps, at a glance: Road Fund, $250 million: The largest amount is coming from this fund, which is used to pay for state highway construction. Critics warn a hit to this and similar funds, such as a $50 million sweep from the Motor Fuel Tax, would result in less

WASHINGTON – In the never-ending quest to preserve the government’s history, there have been plenty of weapons of mass destruction.

Before delete keys on computers, there were paper shredders, erase buttons on tape recorders and trash cans.

Think Oliver North jamming a shredder with papers from an 18-inch stack of documents during the Iran-Contra investigation.

Or the mysterious 18 1/2-minute gap in President Richard Nixon’s White House tapes.

The current dust-up over access to Hillary Rodham Clinton’s emails as secretary of state is causing historians and government record-keepers to take stock of what may be a best-of-times, worst-oftimes moment for saving government records.

In the age of email, texting, Twitter and beyond, there are more records than ever on the workings of government.

At the same time, however, it’s easy to make those records disappear, and it’s challenging to find a manageable way to capture what’s significant and cull the chaff. Just 3 percent to 5 percent of government records are of “permanent value,” according to the National Archives.

There’s also a tendency by wary government officials to pre-emptively cover their tracks by avoiding the creation of records in the first place.

Add that all up, says Princeton history and public affairs professor Julian Zelizer, and “a lot of historians are worried about how we’ll really understand what went on when the record is becoming thinner.”

The National Archives’ Paul Wester, chief records officer for the government, acknowledges that “the situation is not as good as we would like it to be,” particularly during the challenging transition from paper records to electronic.

The State Department has ordered an internal audit of its record keeping, with Secretary of State John Kerry calling the review critical to “preserve a full and complete record of American foreign policy” and for the U.S. public to have access to that information.

Each year, federal agencies are required to send the archives a report on how they’re doing at managing their records. While the last report showed improvement, most agencies were still “at high to moderate risk of compromising the integrity, authenticity and reliability of their records,” the archives

Boko Haram kills 41, but millions vote in Nigeria The ASSOCIATED PRESS ABUJA, Nigeria – Boko Haram extremists killed 41 people, including a legislator, and scared hundreds of people from polling stations in the northeast, but millions voted Saturday across Nigeria in the most closely contested presidential race in the nation’s history.

In electoral violence elsewhere, three people including a soldier were shot and killed in political thuggery in southern Rivers state, and two car bombs exploded at polling stations in the southeast but no one was injured, according to police.

All the Boko Haram attacks took place in northeastern Nigeria, where the military Friday announced it had cleared the Islamic extremists from all major centers, including the headquarters of their so-called Islamic caliphate.

Nearly 60 million people have cards to vote, and for the first time there is a possibility that a challenger can defeat a sitting president in the highstakes contest to govern Africa’s richest and most populous nation.

The front-runners among 14 candidates are President Goodluck Jonathan, a 57-year-old

A police officer stands guard as people cast their votes Saturday during an election in Yola, Nigeria. Nigerians went to the polls Saturday in presidential elections which analysts say will be the most tightly contested in the history of Africa’s richest nation and its largest democracy.

Christian from the south, and former military dictator Muhammadu Buhari, 72, from the predominantly Muslim north.

Voters also are electing 360 legislators to the House of Assembly, where the opposition currently has a slight edge over Jonathan’s party. Voting for 13 constituencies was postponed until April because of shortages of ballot papers, electoral officials said.

Nigeria’s political landscape was transformed two years ago when the main op-

position parties formed a coalition and for the first time united behind one candidate, Buhari. Dozens of legislators defected from Jonathan’s party.

Polling will continue Sunday in some areas where new machines largely failed to read voters’ biometric cards, said Kayode Idowu, spokesman of the Independent National Electoral Commission. That includes some areas of Lagos, a megacity of 20 million and Nigeria’s commercial capital on

the Atlantic coast.

Even the president was affected. Three newly imported card readers failed to recognize the fingerprints of Jonathan and his wife. Biometric cards and readers are being used for the first time to discourage the kind of fraud that has marred previous votes.

Afterward, Jonathan wiped sweat from his brow and urged people to be patient as he had been, telling Channels TV: “I appeal to all Nigerians to be patient no matter the pains it takes as long as if, as a nation, we can conduct free and fair elections that the whole world will accept.”

Nigerians exercised extraordinary restraint, waiting hours in heat that rose to 100 degrees in some places.

Many remained for more hours after voting ended to witness the ballot count, determined to do their part to try to keep the elections honest.

“The high voter turnout and the dedication and patience of Nigerian voters is, in itself, a triumph of Nigerian democracy,” said the national counter-insurgency spokesman, Mike Omeri. He praised the bravery and commitment of military and security agencies that he said made the elections possible.

Struggling with blackouts that are routine, some officials counted ballots by the light of vehicles and cellphones.

Earlier, before dawn, Boko Haram extremists invaded the town of Miringa in Borno state, torching people’s homes and then shooting them as they tried to escape the smoke.

Twenty-five people died in the attack, Borno state Gov. Kashim Shettima told a news conference in the city of Maiduguri.

“They had sent messages earlier warning us not to encourage democracy by participating in today’s election,” said Mallam Garba Buratai, a Miringa resident who witnessed the attack.

Nigeria’s home-grown Islamic extremists say democracy is a corrupt Western concept and point to the endemic corruption as a reason to do away with it in favor of an Islamic caliphate.

Another 14 people were killed in extremist attacks on the town of Biri and Dukku, in Gombe state, according to police and local chief Garkuwan Dukku.

Among the dead was a Gombe state legislator, Umaru Ali, said Sani Dugge, the local campaign director for the opposition coalition.

Painstaking recovery mission continues at treacherous Alps crash site The ASSOCIATED PRESS SEYNE-LES-ALPES, France – The ravine echoes with helicopter rotors, the scrape of metal on stone, the rumble of sliding scree as the remnants of Germanwings Flight 9525 dislodge from the mountainside.

The somber mission to recover the remains of 150 people killed when their plane slammed full speed into the Col de Mariaud is not a quiet one, and evidence can be gathered only when the mountains cooperate.

From 8:30 a.m. until 6 p.m., while the light is good, the helicopters ferry the crews into the ravine. It is too steep to land, so the 40 crewmembers are winched down singly or in pairs with packs bulging with clear plastic bags, red

and yellow evidence tags, and the ropes they will use to keep each other from slipping when the black Alpine stone crumbles beneath their feet. Each investigator is linked to a local mountaineer, familiar with the terrain and with the skills to keep them safe.

Few pieces are larger than a car door. Most are smaller.

And with each step the recovery workers make, crucial pieces of evidence slide inexorably downward. Some slip into a mountain brook fed by the snow that has only just begun melting in the French Alps.

“We have not found a single body intact,” Col. Patrick Touron, one of France’s leading forensic investigators, said Friday from Seyne-les-Alpes.

“DNA will be the determining element that will lead to iden-

tification.”

Between 400 and 600 biological elements have been retrieved and five scientists are in Seyne-les-Alpes to speed the process, he said.

The families who arrived during the week provided objects, such as toothbrushes, which belonged to the deceased, and some gave their own DNA samples to help cross-reference the forensic information found in the remains.

The moment a piece of human remains is found, forensic scientists have been taking a DNA sample immediately, from fears it could further decompose, and update the vast – 150-person-strong – DNA database pool they are compiling on-site, Touron said. Jewelry and dental information are also key to the identification

process, he said.

Touron noted the bodies would be returned to the families as soon as possible, but warned the process would be long.

Just a few miles away, ski stations are still full. The ground is bare where the A320 shattered, but “the pieces of wreckage are so small and shiny they appear like patches of snow on the mountainside,” said Pierre-Henry Brandet, the Interior Ministry spokesman, after first flying over the debris field.

Traveling by foot on the hiking paths that wind through the Alps, it’s possible to reach the site in about an hour. Police all-terrain vehicles have barred the way since the Tuesday crash, guarding against the curious and macabre.

Each load must be carried

away by helicopter, and the operation halts at sundown and with the onset of rain or wind.

It is likely to last weeks.

Evidence goes into the plastic bags, sealed with a drawstring for speed.

Remains go into body bags which are hooked carefully onto the winch, sometimes alongside a helmeted recovery worker, arms spread wide as if in benediction, and everything goes soaring off to Seyne-lesAlpes. Just a few minutes in the air instead of hours overland.

French investigators have not outlined what will happen with the recovered plane pieces, though the focus of the investigation is no longer on technical issues with the plane now that prosecutors say the co-pilot deliberately crashed it.

Taking a risk when buying Cuban 77s Dear Mr. Berko: What do you think of buying the Cuban 4.5 percent bonds issued in 1937, which came due in 1977 and sell for about 10 cents on the dollar?

Now that President Barack Obama has begun to normalize relations with Cuba, I think those bonds could pay off, especially if the embargo were to be lifted. Seeing as they sell for 10 cents on the dollar, for $10,000 I could buy bonds with a face value of $100,000. What do you think? – CW, Kankakee Dear CW: While the U.S. was imposing sanctions on Iraq, Iraq’s sovereign bonds traded between 10 cents and 11 cents on the dollar. After the U.S. invasion, a settlement was negotiated by the Paris Club at 32 cents on the dollar. The Paris Club, an informal group of international officials, assists debtor nations in coordinating their debt solutions with creditor nations, helping them settle their sovereign debt. And the London

Club helps nations settle loans that were extended to debtor nations by private banks and corporations. Liberian debt, which was selling at 3 cents on the dollar in 1991, was settled at 21 cents when a new president who had worked for the World Bank was elected to lead that country. Before 1993, Vietnamese debt was selling at 10 cents on the dollar, and after the embargo was lifted, that debt was settled at 30 cents. The list of settlements during the past 50 years is impressive. Since 1956, the Paris Club has brokered 430 debt agreements with 91 nations, totaling nearly $600 billion. Last July, Russia agreed to write off Cuba’s $32 billion of Soviet-era debt, reducing Cuba’s foreign debt (bonds and loans) to $19 billion. Last December, Obama decided to restore diplomatic relations with Cuba.

Resultantly, some of Cuba’s debt, particularly the 4.5 percent Batista bonds you mentioned,

TAKING STOCK Malcolm Berko became attractive.

Fidel Castro defaulted on the bonds in 1960. Now some speculators suggest they’re attractive.

These bonds, called 77s because of their 1977 maturity date, may, in the future, be settled between 26 cents and 48 cents on the dollar, giving speculators a potential return of 180 to 490 percent. And yes, the 77s could be an excellent speculation, though too rank for my blood. But you can’t buy those bonds, because a silly 18-year-old statute prevents U.S. citizens from investing in or owning Cuban assets. (Americans can own assets in Syria, Somalia and Iran, but they can’t own Cuban assets.) The ban can be lifted by Congress, but Miami’s ridiculously bombastic and sadly confused Cuban

community continues to define U.S. policy regarding Cuba and won’t allow it.

A legitimate way to own the 77s is to buy the unimpressive Herzfeld Caribbean Basin Fund (CUBA-$9.27), a $27 million closed-end fund that owns, among other Latin investments, Cuban bonds with a $1.6 million face value. A reader whose family lives in Canada told me that his brother bought the 77s in his Canadian brokerage account.

Canadians have been allowed to travel to Cuba for years.

Fortunately, Canada’s policy regarding Cuba is not determined by a warren of rabid expatriates residing in Miami who live in their memories of the past 56 years. If you have a relative in Canada, he can buy the 77s for you. And recognize this transaction would also involve currency risk as you convert U.S. dollars into Canadian dollars to buy the 77s. There would also be currency risks when selling the

77s, because you would need to convert Canadian dollars back into U.S. dollars.

Current law dictates that before the U.S. can lift its embargo against Cuba, that nation must reach a settlement with U.S. corporations whose businesses were seized by the Castro government in 1960. If Cuba wishes to become a player in the world of finance, those business debts must be settled by the London Club. Then Cuba must engage the Paris Club to negotiate bond settlements between Cuba and other governments that have lent money to Cuba. There’s quiet talk Raul Castro has met with Paris Club and London Club members, which is why there seems to be an interest in the 77s.

Colorado State basketball coach was visiting Bolingbrook a couple years ago.

The object of the Rams’ attention was 6-foot-8 forward Ben Moore. Colorado State came away disappointed temporarily because Moore chose to play at SMU. The sophomore forward was in the regular rotation this season as the Mustangs earned an NCAA tournament berth.

Meanwhile, Colorado State’s visit to Bolingbrook had a happy ending of its own. The Rams noticed guard Prentiss Nixon, and they will be his next team.

“That’s how I wound up there,” Nixon said. “They were here to see Ben Moore, and they saw me. Colorado State got snubbed in the NCAA Tournament this year, but they did have the most wins in school history, so I’m getting into a good program.

“I always wanted to play out East, in the Big East or the ACC. Of course, most kids growing up say that’s where they want to play. But I really just tried to get somewhere I fit in.”

They fell to Illinois’ Mr. Basketball, Jalen Brunson, and Stevenson in the Class 4A state semifinals but finished on a high note with a victory over Geneva in the third-place game.

“I know Colorado State is excited to be getting Prentiss,” Bolingbrook coach Rob Brost said. “Their coaches are thrilled he led our team the way he did.”

and toughness to take the ball to the basket and score or get fouled.

As a four-year varsity regular, Nixon is Bolingbrook’s all-time winningest player.

Yet, the game is not all that matters. In the classroom, he has built his way up to being an honor roll student. He matured as a student, player and person during his four high school years.

“From the standpoint of basketball and school, kids coming up in our program are all going to look up to Prentiss,” Brost said.

Marco Pettinato, Joliet Catholic’s Jalen Jackson, Morris’ Austin Patterson and ReedCuster’s Travis Schoonover.

Six of the 10 are seniors, including three who will play on the NCAA Division I level as Jordan is headed to Illinois, Stumpe to Wofford and Nixon

to Colorado State. Boykin will play football at Notre Dame.

Butler, Jackson and Schoonover are juniors who will bid for a first-team repeat in 2016, and Pettinato is only a sophomore.

A majority of the 10 first-team picks were nom-

inated by their coaches for consideration as our Player of the Year, an honor Jordan received last year. At the end of the regular season, this year’s recipient had not been determined.

Nixon, however, was among those being considered before the postseason.

What he accomplished in the playoffs, the way he led Bolingbrook to its third-place finish, put him over the top.

He is the Herald-News Player of the Year.

The capsule summaries on our first-team selections will give you a rundown on what each accomplished. But also take a look at our second-team picks. Most of them were on our list of candidates for the first team and were suggested by their coaches as first-team worthy.

We had some good players around here, for sure. Our boys basketball sometimes is judged harshly, perhaps more harshly than it deserves.

SPRING TRAINING REPORT: JOLIET CENTRAL BASEBALL

Fitzgerald primed to guide Steelmen Squad will have 13 seniors in group, also developing its pitching

By DICK GOSS dgoss@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Kevin Fitzgerald, formerly a coach in the Joliet West program, had the opportunity to join the Joliet Central staff last season as Tony Juarez’s assistant.

Now he has a teaching position at Central is entering his first season as the Steelmen’s head coach. Life is good.

“I played for Joliet Township while in high school and have a lot of pride in our program, which is one of the main reasons I wanted this job,” Fitzgerald said.

“Also, I’ve had the opportunity to play for and coach with several coaches in the district who have influenced and encouraged me in the game of baseball.”

He cited current West coach John Karczewski, former Joliet Township coach Terry Pi-

azza, Juarez and former West coach John Krebs.

“I learned a lot from all of these coaches and look to use what I’ve learned to help the Steelmen become a successful program,” he continued.

Central is coming off a 4-30 season, but there is reason for a spark of optimism.

“We have 13 seniors in our group of kids this year,” Fitzgerald said. “They are as hungry as I am. We’re going to make changes that hopefully will lead to us being more successful in the win column.

It’s a good group. They want to make that change. They have a hunger to get better.”

The Steelmen dropped their season opener to T.F. South, 10-3, but “we limited our mental mistakes, and I was happy with that,” Fitzgerald said.

“There wasn’t a time when the kids were stressing or anything. We can do things to play

“Christian Smith was our top hitter last year, but then he got injured,” Fitzgerald said.

Fitzgerald said regardless of how many games the Steelmen win, the goal remains to be playing their best at regional time.

“Everyone in the regional has an opportunity to win,” he said. “As a coach, I have to make sure we are ready to do that by then.

“It’s not necessarily a bad thing if we struggle in the win column along the way. I’m glad we’re in a strong conference [SouthWest Suburban Blue]. It’s nice for our kids to see good players from those programs and nice to see how they go about running things.

PREP BASEBALL: PROVIDENCE 11, MINOOKA 1 (6 INN.)

Hunniford, Jeffries lead Celtics past Indians

By DICK GOSS dgoss@shawmedia.com NEW LENOX – Minooka baseball coach Jeff Petrovic, for one, came away impressed.

“They played very well,” Petrovic said Saturday after his team dropped an 11-1 nonconference decision in six innings t o d e f e n d i n g Justin Class 4A state Hunniford champion Providence. “Their pitcher [Justin Hunniford] did a good job hitting corners and keeping the ball down in the zone, and they hit the ball well.”

Hunniford worked five innings, allowing one run on three hits, two of which were to the first two hitters. After Jake Null’s bunt single and

Cole Thompson’s single to right-center, Jon Vesper hit a shot to shortstop Mike Madej, who started a 6-4-3 double play.

A run scored to give Minooka (0-2) a quick 1-0 lead, but momentum turned.

“Jon hit that ball right on the button,” Petrovic said. “We got a run there, but the double play does kill the momentum.

It was a big turning point for them early.”

The Celtics (2-0) responded with two runs in the bottom of the first, another in the second and put it away with a six-run fourth.

Junior catcher and cleanup hitter Jimmy Jeffries tied it in the first with a two-out double and cleared the bases with a three-run double in the fourth.

He finished 3 for 4 with four RBIs. “Jimmy had big hits,” Providence coach Mark Smith said.

“That early double was huge, and then he cleared the bases with the other double.”

“I love when the guys get on base and I have a chance to get some RBIs,” Jeffries said.

Jackson Dvorak also had three hits for the Celtics, including a triple in the sixth. He then scored the game-ending run on Colin Airola’s single.

Jackson Stulas doubled twice and drove in two, one on a sacrifice fly. Mike Madej had an RBI single, walked twice and scored twice.

Stulas played shortstop last season while Madej was at second. Zach Pych handled third base. Those three and Matt Waznis, who played left field, give Smith options in the infield.

“We just wanted to try Mikey at shortstop,” he said.

“We want to see different things and see what works

best.

“Justin [Hunniford] threw a lot of strikes and a lot of ground balls. He pounded the zone and competed. They hit the ball well the first inning, but he kept coming back and shutting them down. And we made the plays defensively.”

Hunniford threw 75 pitches and struck out three in his five innings. He hit one batter but walked nobody.

“Coach Carlsen [pitching coach Chris Carlsen] said my velocity was still going in the fifth inning,” Hunniford said.

“My curve was working well, but I struggled with my changeup more than usual. That’s something to fix early next week.”

Hunniford is the regular first baseman when not pitching. Airola played there Saturday and was solid.

“It was great to see Airola

make some nice plays in his first varsity start,” Hunniford said. “This team is very deep and talented.”

Talented, but young.

“We have five starters back but have 22 juniors on the roster,” Smith said. “So we have question marks, and it will take awhile to get them answered.”

Minooka closed with four hits, including Tyler Paulsen’s double off the fence and a Vesper single.

The Indians are playing shorthanded. Shortstop/pitcher Joe Butler suffered a broken thumb in basketball and will be out for an extended period.

And Cristian Sanchez, who does not play on Saturdays for religious reasons, is nursing a strained groin.

“That’s our two best allaround players,” Petrovic said. “It’s a lot to overcome.”

BOYS VOLLEYBALL: JOLIET WEST TOURNAMENT

By CURT HERRON cherron@shawmedia.com

• Sunday, March 29, 2015

JOLIET – When a team is ranked among the state’s best coming into a season, other good squads usually rise to the occasion and give them everything that they’ve got.

Lincoln-Way West’s boys volleyball saw that first-hand Saturday in the Joliet West Tournament, and to the Warriors’ credit, they responded to every challenge that came their way.

The Warriors lost the first game in the semifinals to Joliet Catholic before rallying for a 21-25, 25-21, 25-21 victory and then bounced back from a second-game defeat to the host Tigers to capture a 25-21, 21-25, 25-17 win in the championship match.

“Coming into the season, closing out was a big focus for us and we faced a lot of adversity today and teams push us to the limit,” Warriors coach Brian Thorp said. “But we fought through the adversity and won games when we were challenged and that was huge for us.

“It was huge to see key players step up in those pressure situations. We try to simulate that in practice but nothing does it like a championship match, and we had a lot of players who stepped up and made a pass or a kill when we needed it. It was really fun to see.”

In a rematch of last year’s tournament finals, which they also won, the Warriors made several unforced errors in Game 2 against the Tigers. Then they cleaned things up in the finale and grabbed an early lead and maintained it throughout.

Jake Gasparich finished with 11 kills, while Michael Wexter added nine kills and 11 assists in the championship match to lead the way for the Warriors, who used a happy-go-lucky approach to help them offset some of the pressure.

“We always try to stay positive so even if we lose a set, if you start singing, dancing or whatever, it will keep you positive and you’ll play better and that’s our philosophy,” Gasparich said. “Both JCA and

Other top Tigers performers were Matt Wyman (12 kills, eight blocks), Max Ahern (10 kills, four blocks), Scott Lyman (14 kills, three blocks) and Chris Beltran (49 digs).

“They’re ranked third in the state, so for us to come back and beat them in Game 2 says a lot,” Herrmann said. “We were close in Game 1, and we didn’t pass well and then we got down early in Game 3, which

SPRING TRAINING REPORT: JOLIET WEST SOFTBALL

By DICK GOSS dgoss@shawmedia.com

• Sunday, March 29, 2015

JOLIET – The Joliet West softball team will go into the season without pitcher/first baseman Joy Treasure, catcher Julia Liceaga and center fielder Kristina Vargas.

With those sorts of graduation losses up the middle of the diamond, the tendency might be to feel sorry for the Tigers and coach Heather Suca. However, it is not time to organize a tag day just yet.

West returns six other regulars from the team that finished 30-8 overall and won the South Suburban Blue title with a 13-1 mark. A couple of others who saw significant action also are back.

“The girls definitely are focused,” Suca said. “They know we have potential.”

The optimism begins with sophomore pitcher Kiley Robb, who shared time in the circle with Treasure a year ago. She finished 13-4 with a 2.20 ERA and may be better.

“I have a lot of confidence in Kiley,” said senior shortstop Alysia Rodriguez, who will play at DePaul. “She has such a good presence. I’m looking to her to lead our team.”

Robb, who will be backed up in the circle by freshman Sidne Budzinski, will work hand-in-hand with her classmate, sophomore catcher DeShonte Smith, who saw some varsity action a year ago.

“DeShonte has a lot of potential behind the plate,” Suca said. “We’re working on her mental game. But she learned a lot being with us last year.”

Smith’s offensive game received an early boost. She belted a grand slam when the Tigers opened the season with a 12-1 nonconference win over Wilmington. Last season, she drove in 20 runs, mostly as the DH. Suca plans to have multiyear regular Jen Ames, the second baseman, in her accustomed leadoff slot, with her sister, sophomore center fielder Kristin Ames, batting second. Robb is in the 3-hole based largely on her ability to make contact. Rodriguez is hitting cleanup.

Jen Ames hit .364 last season with five homers and 29 RBIs. Robb hit 321 and drove in 26, while Rodriguez hit .387 with two homers and 27 RBIs. Smith, senior first baseman Lorelei Tokarczyk and sophomore third baseman Madi Mulder also will contribute offensively. Tokarczyk hit five homers, drove in 21 and hit .348 last season.

Mulder hit .287 with 16 RBIs. Senior outfielder Lily Ongkiko, who started as a sophomore, and junior util-

Sophomore Kiley Robb is solid in the circle and Rodriguez, Jen Ames and Robb were among those who had good offensive seasons in 2014.

ity player Ariana Liceaga also are in the mix.

“We definitely have speed, I think a little more than we had last year,” Suca said. “We’ll have the ability to produce runs at the plate and running the bases.”

“I think our bats are going to be awesome,” Rodriguez said. “Hitting definitely is contagious, and we have hitting up and down the lineup.

“We have four returning seniors and we have some sophomores who

will do a good job. We have sophomores pitching, catching and in center field who are replacing girls who graduated last year.”

West is young with four sophomore starters in Robb, Smith, Mulder and Kristin Ames, but Robb and Mulder were regulars last season and Smith and Ames were keys off the bench.

“It’s very nice that we have four sophomore starters and they have a year of varsity experience under their belts,” Suca said.

Suca’s teams have upped their victory total each year since West and Joliet Central returned to separate programs for the 2011 season. The Tigers won regionals two of the past three years. In 2014, they dropped a 12-2 decision to Lincoln-Way East in a Class 4A sectional final, and the Griffins went on to finish fourth in state.

“Our goal is to be more mentally prepared than we were last season,” Rodriguez said. “I want to have fun, work hard and help us get to state.”

CLEVELAND – Pushed to the brink, Kentucky’s still perfect and still playing.

Andrew Harrison made two free throws with six seconds remaining, and the top-seeded Wildcats kept their unbeaten season and national title hopes intact with a 68-66 win over Notre Dame on Saturday night in the Midwest Regional final.

The Wildcats (38-0) advanced to the Final Four in Indianapolis next week, where they will meet Wisconsin.

It took everything Kentucky had to hold off the Fighting Irish (32-6), who came within seconds of shocking the tournament’s overwhelming favorite. Notre Dame, which has a history of stunning upsets in football and basketball, wasn’t done until Jerian Grant’s double-clutch 3-pointer from the

left corner was long.

Kentucky’s bench stormed the floor and the Wildcats, who only had one other two-point game this season, celebrated knowing they had ducked a major challenge and are now just two wins from becoming the first team to go undefeated since Indiana in 1976.

“We didn’t play very well and Notre Dame, I thought, controlled the whole thing, but we made the plays,” Kentucky coach John Calipari said. “We figured out a way to win it.

We’re just saying one more game, play our best. We’ve had other tests, but we have a will to win.”

Karl-Anthony Towns scored 25 to lead Kentucky, which trailed for most of the second half.

for the first time in school history.

The Wildcats twice got within five points in the last 2½ minutes, but both times Dekker connected on arcing 3-pointers, narrowly beating the shot clock on the first one.

“Sam Dekker pretty much just crushed our dreams with that shot,” Arizona guard T.J. McConnell said.

Dekker confirmed the Badgers are more than just “Frank the Tank.” The junior followed up his career-high 23 points and 10 rebounds in a semifinal win over North Carolina with timely shooting that bailed out the Badgers.

Wisconsin (35-3) denied the Wildcats (34-4) a Final Four berth for the second straight year, having beaten them by one point in overtime in Anaheim a year ago when their seeds were reversed.

Kentucky holds off Notre Dame to reach Final Four

CHICAGO – Nikola Mirotic scored 24 points, Pau Gasol added 19 points and 12 rebounds, and the Bulls handed the Knicks their franchise-record 60th loss, beating New York, 111-80, Saturday night.

A night after tying the team’s previous single-season loss mark, the Knicks dropped their seventh straight and 14th in 16 games.

Jimmy Butler scored 18 for the Bulls.

The rookie Mirotic had another strong game, finishing five points shy of his career high. Gasol recorded his league-leading 48th double-double as the Bulls won for the fifth time in six games.

The Bulls, who led by 20 at halftime, fell four points short of their most lopsided victory of the season. They pulled within two games of Central

Division leader Cleveland and moved 1½ games ahead of fourth-place Toronto in the Eastern Conference.

Andrea Bargnani led New York with 14 points and seven rebounds. Saturday marked the 20th anniversary of the “Double Nickel Game” that saw Michael Jordan score 55 points at Madison Square Garden, a masterpiece that announced he still was the game’s greatest player after two years

away from basketball. He finished off that game with an assist to Bill Wennington, giving the Bulls a 113-111 victory.

In this one, the Bulls stomped on the Knicks almost as soon as they stepped on the court. Gasol scored 11 in the first quarter and 13 in the half as the Bulls grabbed a 54-34 lead. Mirotic hit three 3-pointers and scored 11 in the half, while Butler and Aaron Brooks each scored 10.

OUR VIEW

Do your civic duty because these races matter If you’re one of those people who gets annoyed every election cycle at the admonishments to go out and vote because you don’t care, you’re never going to vote and you don’t see why everyone keeps harping on it, then fear not – this message is not for you.

This message is for the people who vote sometimes, or the people who know they should vote but can’t seem to get around to it. This is for the people who are most likely to vote when there’s a presiden-

tial or gubernatorial race at the top of the ballot. This is for the people who’d vote if it was an app on their smartphones, but don’t want to go to the trouble of seeking out a polling place.

If you fit into any of those categories, then you need to vote between now and April 7, because this is the election where your vote matters most (early voting concludes April 4, and April 7 is Election Day, so don’t try to vote on the 5th or 6th).

Municipal elections combine small constituencies with extremely low turnout, meaning races for positions that control tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of tax dollars often turn on a few hundred votes … or a few dozen votes … sometimes even one vote.

If you’re not happy with your local schools, or local services, or the park district, or your library in your town, check and see if there’s anyone up for election on one of

those boards.

For some of the higher profile races, we’ve sent questions to candidates about their positions and plan to post their responses early this week at www.theherald-news. com/election-central so you can read on your own time where they stand. You can find the full ballot at www. thewillcountyclerk.com/ connect/site/ in Will County, and http://www.grundyco. org/election-information in Grundy County.

If the importance of your vote isn’t enough to convince you, consider that it’s easier than ever to vote. Sure, a smartphone app would be great (if potentially insecure), but thanks to early voting you don’t necessarily need to wait until Election Day. Pick a day and time during the early voting period, and you can walk in and cast your ballot.

Then you can sit back and watch everyone else hyperventilate knowing you’ve already done your civic duty.

College savings plans worth investing in future, economy The Treasurer is the state’s chief investment officer. We invest in people to address today’s challenges and the challenges we will face years from now.

Saving for higher education is critical to bringing opportunities for our children and strengthening our economy.

Many families use Illinois’ Bright Start and Bright Directions college savings plans to invest in their children’s education beyond high school.

These plans are critical to raising wages and living conditions for everyone because educational attainment is the best predictor of employability. As Illinois’ Treasurer, managing these programs is one of my most important responsibilities. Today, Congress is considering an update to these 529 plans. As a Certified Public Finance Officer, and as a parent, I support this effort.

Critics contend these plans needlessly offer a tax advantage to wealthy families who already can afford higher education. While many well-off families participate in the pro-

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

VIEWS Michael Frerichs grams, the solution is not to restrict the program. Rather, it is to introduce these college savings plans to middle-class families who fear a college education for their children is increasingly out of reach.

Anyone with $25 can open a plan: parent, guardian, grandparent, aunt, uncle, brother, sister, or friend. Monthly deposits are not required. Opening a college savings account with the Treasurer’s office represents a commitment to make college or trade school accessible for someone you love. You can open one today at www.illinoistreasurer.gov.

Investing in our children pays dividends for them and for our economy. Success in college or trade school opens doors because our children learn the skills, discipline, and reliability that employers demand.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

529 plan updates should be helpful • FRERICHS

Continued from page 48 The proposal before the U.S. Senate would expand qualified expenditures beyond tuition to include education-related technology such as computers, roll back unnecessary paperwork, and allow refunds from school to be redeposited into the 529 accounts. These reasonable changes will make college more attainable for our children, grow our economy, and attract good-paying jobs to Illinois.

As Treasurer, my job is to put our state and our families in a position to succeed. The 529 plan updates do exactly that. I understand the critics’ concerns, but do not believe they outweigh the benefits to our families who dream of sending their children to college, nor to our small business owners who need a skilled workforce.

I hope our lawmakers agree.

MADIGAN’S ACTIONS CONFUSING

To the Editor: I’m a little confused about our state’s Attorney General Lisa Madigan. In one breath she appeals and asked the state’s highest court to toss out and reverse Sangamon County Judge John Belz’s pension decision as “unconstitutional,” because Illinois is experiencing the most pressing fiscal crisis of our time.

She fails to say that in 1959, the Illinois Public Employee’s Pension Laws Commission warned the governor of the underfunding of most state pensions. In 56 years since that report was issued, the debt of the state’s pension system has grown exponentially and mostly for the same reason. In 56 years, those inadequate contributions haven’t changed.

She then relates, “Gov. Bruce Rauner’s plan to eliminate compulsory ‘fair share’ union fees through his own executive power ‘wasn’t constitutional.”

In 1977 the Supreme Court agreed that public workers had the right to join together and form a union, that would exclusively represent them in collective bargaining negotiations. The Court also ruled that union members could vote to collect a “fair share” fee from workers who receive union benefits.

To circumvent any problems with “fair share,” fees should be held by the unions in separate accounts, none of which could be utilized for any political donations or contributions.

Case closed!

She also fails to say that former Mayor Richard M. Daley, on his own admission, froze property taxes for 17 of his 22 years in office, by diverting pension money payments from the Municipal Employees and Laborers Pension Funds to provide pre-election property tax cuts.

How many years has Speaker of the House Michael “Daddy” Madigan, been in office while the un-funding and under-funding occurred?

ACCUSATIONS DON’T SUBSTANTIATE To the Editor: This letter is in regard to comments made by Councilman Bob O’Dekirk in a

Joliet Herald-News article on March 8, 2015. Councilman O’Dekirk in that article suggested that firefighter exams were not fair tests, and that there were reports of answers being leaked for an exam taken last year by prospective firefighters.

Those accusations are totally false.

As secretary/commissioner of the Joliet Fire and Police Board I take offense to councilman O’Dekirk making false and borderline slanderous comments. By making such comments, he is calling into question the integrity of the five board members who make up the commission. Our duty as board members is to make sure all tests are being fairly administered and that the most qualified people are hired and promoted in the police and fire departments – period.

Please, Councilman O’Dekirk, if you have any information supporting the accusations you made in the article, come to the board with any evidence you possess.

Don’t, however, make an accusation in a public forum that you apparently can’t substantiate at the price of the commission’s integrity.

Bill Tatro Secretary/Commissioner for the Joliet Fire and Police Commission

ANOTHER VIEW

Obamacare still a problem child During a 2014 Valentine’s Day meet-up with House Democrats, President Barack Obama thanked them for their unstinting support of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. “I think,” he said, “10 years, five years from now, we’re going to look back and say this was a monumental achievement.”

Well, the president’s health care law marks its fifth anniversary this week. And most Americans are not, in fact, looking back and saying the law enacted in 2010 – with not one Republican vote in either the House or Senate – was a monumental achievement.

Indeed, in an NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll this month, a 4434 plurality of respondents thought Obamacare a “bad idea.” And a 62-22 percent majority said that what they had seen, read or heard in recent weeks about the Affordable Care Act had made them “less confident” about the law.

Some suggest the public’s

“I think ... 10 years, five years from now, we’re going to look back and say this was a monumental achievement.”

Barack Obama President on support for Obamacare misgivings about Obamacare are almost entirely attributable to GOP opposition to the law. In a statement Monday, Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz noted that “Republicans have voted more than 50 times to repeal or undermine this critical law.”

The law is a godsend, she argued.

“More than 16 million Americans have gained health insurance.” Also, “health care spending is growing at its slowest rate in 50 years.” And eight in 10 consumers “can now find a coverage plan for $100 or less per

month after tax credits.”

But here are a few inconvenient truths about Obamacare that Schultz neglected to mention: Deductibles, co-payments and drug payments under the average Obamacare “silver” plan - the most popular – are $3,453, according to a CNNMoney analysis, compared with $1,217 under employer-provided health insurance.

Taxpayer subsidies may defray the cost for some of the 16 million Americans who have gained health insurance under the Affordable Care Act. However, Jackson Hewitt, the nation’s second-largest tax preparation service, said that more than half its clients who received such subsidies will have to pay back all or some of the money.

That’s why most Americans are in no mood this week to celebrate the fifth anniversary of the president’s namesake law. And we can’t say we blame them.

• Sunday, March 29, 2015

To the Editor: Last week, a Washington, D.C. media outlet reported some members of Congress are up in arms about a classified briefing held by the Obama Administration. Representatives are upset that they were given redacted documents and could not disclose information they were provided to their constituents or anyone else who does not have an “active Secret-level or high [security] clearance.”

The briefing was not about fighting ISIS or preventing Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon. Rather, the topic was the Trans-Pacific Partnership, a controversial trade deal being negotiated with 11 other nations representing 40 percent of the world’s GDP. While the American people are not trusted with details of the trade negotiations, corporate special interests are. One news report noted advisors to multinational corporations were given passwords that allowed them to go to a website and view the TPP agreement anytime they wanted.

This is yet another example of American families being locked out of their democracy. I strongly believe, as do many of the folks I talk to, that the rigged, broken system in Washington is directly responsible for our nation’s

declining middle class.

This undemocratic trade process must change immediately. Otherwise, it is almost certain that it will provide a terrible result for everyday Americans.

Standing where history was made Lewis University students participate in 50th anniversary of Selma marches

By SEAN LEARY Shaw Media correspondent ROMEOVILLE – Earlier this month, Lewis University students became part of history by returning to a spot where history was made.

From March 2 through 9, Lewis students William Riley, Gianna Capperino, Alexis Pullins and Lexi Austring accompanied history professor Dennis Cremins on a trip to various sites important in the civil rights movement.

One place was Selma, Alabama, for the 50th anniversary of the Selma marches for equal voting rights.

In March 1965, a series of protests and marches attended by thousands – including Martin Luther King Jr. – galvanized the country and led to President Lyndon Johnson signing the voting rights act four months later, guaranteeing equal voting rights for all.

“The marches were progressive and peaceful, but they were met with such violent resistance by people trying to suppress the rights of minorities,” Cremins said, “and when footage of that resistance aired on TV across the country, it helped to build public support for minority rights and pushed the president to sign the act into law in a remarkably short amount of time afterwards.

“It was historic in the events that took place, the people who were involved and in the fact that it demonstrated the power of peaceful civil protests for civil rights.”

This first trip was part of a pilot program for Lewis University students. Along with Selma, the students also visited Memphis, Birmingham and Montgomery, all key cities where important moments in the civil rights movement occurred.

Cremins said they used museum exhibits and museum sites – reminders of difficult times and acts committed against people trying to do the right thing – during the day to provide context to students. In the evenings, they reflected upon their experiences.

From a content perspective, Cremins said it was a tough and potentially exhausting course.

“But as we got to Selma, and saw so many people there, and to see the president there, it was reinvigorating and inspiring,” Cremins said.

The group, along with Dennis Cremin who is not pictured, marked the occasion March 7 at the Edmund Pettis Bridge in Alabama as part of the Lewis University Civil Rights Pilgrimage. BELOW: Capperino (from left), Riley, Austring, Ruane, Pullins and Cremin retrace the steps of history at the Dexter Baptist Church in Montgomery, Alabama, as part of the Lewis University Civil Rights Pilgrimage.

The students were selected from a group of applicants based upon their achievements and interest in the program. In addition to visiting various historical backdrops, they attended many of the 50th anniversary events scheduled at various venues.

This included joining more than 100,000 people during an appearance

by President Barack Obama on March 7 in Selma, Cremins said.

For William Riley, 18, of Chicago,

attending a civil rights event that included Obama was nothing short of amazing.

“It was incredible to see him and listen to him, the first African-American president,” Riley said, “and realize that his presidency was in many ways a culmination of what took place 50 years prior, when African-Americans and other minorities were given equal voting rights.”

Riley said it made him appreciate

how far the nation has come. He’s still trying to process it.

“It’s left me feeling the need to encourage others to continue the fight for civil rights among those people who are still fighting those battles,” Riley said. “I look at where we’re at and see all the progress made, but also see that there’s still a ways to go.”

Lexi Austring, 19, of Chicago, a sophomore at Lewis, called the experience incredible, unforgettable and empowering.

“I would recommend it to anyone to go to visit these historical places and remember that all of us as individuals can make a difference,” Austring said.

Riley and Austring believe the students returned with a sense that they, too, are part of history and that their actions can help shape the future.

“It’s definitely left a positive impression on me to keep going and have a positive impact in my life, to follow my calling of what God is wanting me to do,” Austring said. “Seeing what Martin Luther King Jr. did through peaceful protest is inspiring, and it makes me want to do the same.”

PUZZLES SUDOKU

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

Moving cards changes conditions

CELEBRITY CIPHER

This week, we have looked at pairs of deals in which a minor change in the cards results in a major variation in the right declarer-play or defense.

Here is the last one. What should happen in four spades after West leads the heart ace?

East raises one heart to four hearts because he knows that his side has at least a 10-card fit and does not have the normal high-card values for game.

There is a saying that a pre-emptive four-heart bid by one side is a transfer to four spades for the other side – hence South’s overcall.

Yesterday, the defenders’ clubs were 3-2 and spades 4-1. Then, after West began with two rounds of hearts, the only way home against best defense was to discard a low diamond from the South hand, a loser-on-loser play. Here, though, South must ruff the second heart, draw trumps, and knock out the club ace.

If he makes the loser-on-loser play, West can cash his club ace and give East a club ruff. But how would West know to do that?

On the second heart, East will play his lowest as a suit-preference signal.

(East, with a desire for a diamond shift, would play his highest heart.

With no preference, he would drop a middle card.)

East should also try to steer his partner that way at trick one, playing his heart three. West, if confident that East has five hearts for his game-raise, should realize that playing a second heart cannot help. Reading the three as a suit-preference signal, he will cash the club ace at trick two and lead another club. In both of these scenarios, the later defensive diamond trick defeats the contract.

Komaroff • Using over-thecounter pads, cushions or straps to decrease discomfort. • Exercising the toes to relax the tendons (a physical therapist can recommend appropriate exercises). • Wearing shoes that fit properly and allow toes plenty of room to stretch out, and generally avoiding ill-fitting, tight or high-heeled shoes.

If the toe has become stiff and permanently bent, the toe can be straightened with surgery. One type of surgery involves removing a small section of the toe bone to allow the toe to lie flat.

Most cases of hammertoe can be prevented by wearing the right shoes.

If you go back to tight, pointy shoes, the condition can return even after it has been treated.

If you notice the beginning signs of hammertoe, you may be able to prevent the tendons from tightening. Regularly flatten your toes. Also, soak your feet in warm water every day, then point your toes.

Simple foot exercises also can help to maintain or restore the flexibility of the tendons. For example, place a small towel on the floor and then pick it up using only your toes. Or grasp at carpet with your toes, or curl your toes up and down repeatedly.

Fortunately, hammertoes take a long time to develop. If you notice them starting, you can often prevent them from worsening by following the advice I’ve given.

Dear Dr. K: Can hammertoe be reversed?

Dear Reader: The four smaller toes of your feet are composed of three small bones, connected by two joints. Hammertoe develops when tendons and ligaments -- the fibrous tissues that connect muscles and bones to one another -contract. Instead of lying flat, the toes very slowly start to hump up. A bend develops in the joint between the first and second bones; the tip of the toe starts to curl up. The toe resembles a hammer, hence the name.

Hammertoe often develops in the second toe. A bunion often develops first. The bunion causes the big toe to turn inward. The big toe then pushes up on the tip of the second toe, causing it to curl over. (Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve put an illustration of hammertoe on my website, AskDoctorK.com.)

Hammertoe is more likely to develop in people with arthritis affecting the bones of the foot. Usually, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s osteoarthritis. Sometimes itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rheumatoid arthritis.

Neurological conditions that deaden the nerves leading to the muscles of the foot and toes also can cause hammertoes.

Such conditions include diabetes (which damages small nerves of the feet), strokes, and a variety of other fortunately rare conditions.

Hammertoe can be painful and uncomfortable. If the toes remain bent for long periods, the tendons will tighten because they are not stretched to their full length. Eventually, the tendons shorten enough that the toe stays bent, even when barefoot.

Fortunately, hammertoe can be reversed.

Some simple treatments include: â&#x20AC;˘ Splinting the toe to keep it straight and to stretch the tendons of the foot.

Scared For Leah Dear Scared: Your friend

The Argyle Sweater

Real Life Adventures

appears to be a very troubled and angry girl. If she thinks that by becoming a prostitute or a killer she will be able to assert control in her life where she has none, she’s sadly mistaken.

You say she has borderline personality disorder.

If that’s true, it must have been diagnosed by a licensed psychotherapist. Frankly, I don’t think this is anything you can – or should – handle on your own.

If your mother doesn’t know what’s going on, please tell her so she can alert Leah’s mother and Leah can return to her therapist. However, if that’s not possible, tell a counselor at school what you have told me so Leah can receive

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips more treatment before she hurts herself or someone else.

Dear Abby: My boyfriend and I have been together for three years and have planned our first vacation together.

We decided to split the expenses 50/50.

Last week, he announced that he has invited his sister and her boyfriend to go along and stay with us in the apartment we rented. Not only was I shocked that he would invite them without checking with me first, I became upset when he said he wasn’t asking them to pitch in any money.

Normally I’m not stingy when it comes to sharing, but I’m angry and I wonder if I’m overreacting.

His mother died last year, and his sister is the only family he has left, which he tends to remind me of to make me feel guilty. How should I react to this? – Amber In

Texas Dear Amber: Tell your boy-

friend that out of consideration for you, he should have cleared it with you before inviting anyone to come along.

When he tries to make you feel guilty by reminding you that his sister is all the family he has left, patiently explain that you understand that, but this was supposed to be your first trip together – just the two of you – and this has taken the romance out of it.

Then make it clear that you do not intend to foot the bill for Sissy and her boyfriend because that isn’t fair to you. And if he doesn’t agree, cancel the trip because you wouldn’t enjoy it anyway.

• Write to Dear Abby at www.dearabby.com, or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

• Sunday, March 29, 2015

Dear Abby: I am a 14-yearold girl, and my friend “Leah” is out of control. She has been going down the wrong path since sixth grade. She is what people call “emo.”

She has attempted to end her life more than once. She has sex with lots of boys older than her and has issues with drugs and cutting. She was abused until she was 5 and then adopted. She doesn’t seem to have any morals.

She says she wants to become a serial killer and a prostitute when she grows up. She also wants to have a baby in the near future. Leah has borderline personality disorder and probably some others. I have tried talking to her about what she’s doing to herself, but she sees nothing wrong with her destructive behavior.

I want Leah to get help before she winds up raped, in prison, or on death row, or becomes a teen mother on the streets. I don’t want her to become another number, another statistic. What should I do? Who do I call – the police, social services, a hotline? –
