Will County eyes new financial tracking software Courthouse design plans change, again

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS

lleonecross@shawmedia.com

JOLIET – Will County government is eyeing a change in its financial software.

The county’s current system – New World Systems – is antiquated. Various departments, including the offices of auditor and finance, have used the same fiscal tracking software since 1996.

“This should have been done 10 years ago,” said Will County Executive Committee Chairman Jim Moustis, R-Frankfort.

“It’s one of those projects that was kicked down the road, which we did many times.”

A working group comprised of county board members and other key departments will help craft a request for proposal to send out to companies, Mike Shay, the county’s IT director, told the Will County Executive Committee on Thursday.

Courthouse design changes – again

Dave Tkac, deputy chief of staff for Will County Executive’s Office, was asked

State owes $1.4M to Will County Health Dept.

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS

lleonecross@shawmedia.com

JOLIET – Will County Board member Judy Ogalla, R-Monee, described the local health department Thursday as a “leader” among local agencies in paying close attention to its fiscal bottom line.

“I certainty hope other departments will look at you and say, ‘Hey, what can we do to cut costs in our area?’ ” Ogalla told the agency’s director, Susan Olenek, during a meeting of the Will County Board’s Public Health and Safety Committee. “I think that same application can be used to help cut costs elsewhere.”

In the face of a nearly $900,000 budget deficit last year, the Will County Health Department laid off about 20 employees and eliminated or reduced eight programs to avoid falling further into the red. All but $100,000 of the deficit was because of the loss of state grants, Olenek

WHERE IT’S AT

• Relevant information • Marketing Solutions • Community Advocates

“Frankly, this is something we do rarely … moving a major system like this. We want to get it done right,” Shay said, noting a new financial system could mean daily and more timely access to updated budgetary data.

Moustis suggested hiring an outside consultant that specializes in IT to facilitate the process. His comments came after Shay explained how staff will be responsible for reviewing a “monster of a spreadsheet” to establish priorities needed in a new data system. Once those are narrowed down, an RFP can be drafted, Shay said.

“We don’t want to miss anything,” Moustis said.

Thursday to change course – again – as to how many floors the new courthouse in downtown Joliet should have.

A final design contract with Wight & Co. will be negotiated with the understanding the new courthouse will have 11 floors, plus two shelled floors. Last week, a separate committee directed Tkac to negotiate a contract with the judicial complex’s design firm for an 11-story courthouse that includes a build out for the Will County Public Defender’s office.

“There’s nothing to be gained by building out either floor before deciding who goes in there,” Moustis said Thursday.

It’s undetermined whether the state’s attorney or the public defender should be housed there. The state’s attorney is now located in the Court Annex building at 57 N. Ottawa St. The public defender’s office pays $240,000 annually to rent space elsewhere.

The hard costs for construction under the latest framework stands just above $145 million.

said.

Local government agencies like the Will County Health Department are increasingly being forced to take harder looks at their finances amid Illinois’ ongoing fiscal nightmare.

Olenek went before the committee Thursday to update members on the latest developments. She said the department is owed $1.4 million from the state, which stopped sending payments July 1.

Program cuts made thus far include Healthy Families Illinois, which provided home visits and parent coaching; services for low-risk offenders referred by the court system, including counseling services for drug addicts and sex offenders; a drug addictions program; and psychiatric services.

The Will County Health Department isn’t alone in its attempt to cut costs.

Nearly half of local health departments in Illinois have reported decreased ca-

pacity caused by the budget impasse – including lay-offs, cuts to the length of the work week, reduced hours of operation, or reduced, suspended or terminated services, according to a January report from the Illinois Public Health Association.

Olenek said similar cost-cutting measures likely will have to be made again in the upcoming fiscal year. Division heads are taking a closer look at staffing needs for the agency’s various programs, she said.

“That’s going to be crucial in making these same decisions that we’re going to have to make for this next budget year,” Olenek said.

Joseph Troiani, director of behavior health programs, said the local agency is working closely with nonprofits – even ones in DuPage and Cook counties – to ensure residents once serviced through now-eliminated programs can find similar services elsewhere in the community.

Homer eighth-grader Alette Eide wins 2016 Will County Spelling Bee

By VIKAAS SHANKER

vshanker@shawmedia.com LOCKPORT – Homer Junior High School eighth-grader Alette Eide let out a gasp when she received the word “battalion” in the 12th round of the Will County Spelling Bee on Thursday night.

“First I visualized it, then I realized that my heart was pounding, like the drums of a battalion I guess,” she said.

She knew the word. And if she spelled it right, she would win, and earn a trip to the Scripps National Spelling Bee scheduled for May 22 in Washington, D.C. “I just knew I had to focus on the moment, not my emotions going into it,” Alette said. “I just had to focus on the spelling.”

She did, and for the second time in three years a Homer Junior High stu-

dent won the Will County Spelling Bee.

Quick bee

The spelling bee took place at Lockport East High School for the second consecutive year. But this year, it took 2 hours and 10 minutes in 14 rounds to complete – less than half the rounds it took for this year’s runner-up, Summit Kumar, to win last year’s competition.

More than 40 participants competed Thursday. But at the end of Round 4, the field of contestants was whittled down to 15. And three were left after Round 10.

In the next round, Alette was the only contestant to spell her word, “villatic,” correctly. Then she spelled her final word for the championship in the 12th round.

But the spelling bee continued for two more rounds to determine the runner-up. In Round 14, Summit, an

eighth-grader from Troy Middle School, spelled “idiasm” correctly to win second place. Timber Ridge Middle School seventh-grader Lauren Kuehni repeated her third-place finish of last year.

Spellers this year had a tough array of words that got more difficult after the first couple of rounds. Some of the words spelled correctly include pangolin, alliteration, penultimate, bayou and sexton.

‘Can you repeat that?’

Among the participants this year were nine spellers who came back after winning at their schools a second time.

They were: third-place winner Lauren Kuehni; Brooks eighth-grader Simran Sanghera; Chaney Monge seventh-grader Damian Smith; Channahon eighth-grader Madison Rauen; Hickory Creek eighth-grader Abigail McCreary; Lukancic eighth-grader Arta Osma-

ni; Reed-Custer seventh-grader Darby O’Shea; Saint Rose eighth-grader Jonathan Urban; and Union eighth-grader Brayden Sinclair.

Three-time school champions included Summit and St. Mary Mokena eighth-grader Mia Gleason.

The spelling bee was sponsored by Commonwealth Edison, and the Lewis University Director of School Partnerships. Larry Wiers presented awards to all the participants.

“You see their devotion and dedication to this,” Will County Regional Superintendent Shawn Walsh said. “It’s sort of a lost art, the spelling, grammar and things like that. So the fact that these kids are doing this well and excelling is really a great thing.”

Alette was nervous, but she said she prepared a lot.

“I’m completely and utterly shocked,” Alette said.

MINOOKA

High school board hires superintendent

By JEANNE MILLSAP

Shaw Media correspondent MINOOKA – The Minooka Community High School Board has chosen a new superintendent to take over the two-campus district. He starts in the role July 1.

Kenneth Lee, current superintendent of Iroquois County Community Unit School District 9, was approved for the job during a meeting Thursday night. The Iroquois County district has a student population of about 1,100 and in- Kenneth Lee cludes five schools.

“We were looking for quite a few things,” MCHS Board President Mike Brozovich said before Thursday’s meeting. “Mainly, a strong leader with really good people skills. Kenny fits that bill pretty solid.”

To find its candidate, the school board hired an executive search firm that conducted a survey of what staff, students, parents, the community and others thought were important qualities in a new superintendent.

The survey showed the most desirable quality was financial acumen.

Other highly desirable qualities included approachability, ability to collaborate well, honesty, integrity and good communication skills.

Brozovich said several things stood out for the school board when considering Lee for the position, including that Lee already has plans of how he will hit

the ground running in his new school district.

“Dr. Lee has created a detailed transition plan with tentative timelines that concentrate on all areas within the district. This plan will consume Dr. Lee’s first year at MCHS,” Brozovich said.

“Our candidate has a good understanding of school finance,” Interim Superintendent Jim Blanche said before Thursday’s meeting. “One of our top priorities was communication, and I think he’s top of the list for being a collaborator and a communicator with others.”

School board member Patti Ruettiger went on a site visit to Lee’s district with Brozovich and said those she spoke to had high regard for their superintendent.

Lee said he was excited to be a part of the school district that has a strong tradition of good education.

“I’m happy for the opportunity,” Lee said at Thursday’s District 111 meeting. “This district is rated one of the top five schools in the area, and their test scores reflect that.”

Lee’s base salary will be $173,800, in addition to receiving TRS benefits and medical insurance provided by the district. He also will receive $2,500 for moving expenses. Lee said he will live in the district.

The board in May 2014 approved a unilateral 90-day termination notice for the previous superintendent, Jim Colyott. Blanche was hired in July 2014 on an interim basis.

LOCAL BRIEF Thrivent Financial donates to PADS

MORRIS – The Grundy County chapter of Thrivent Financial has donated $1,000 to Grundy Area Public Action to Deliver Sustenance shelters in hopes of helping PADS provide a permanent location for sheltering.

Grundy Area PADS Board President Tom Hardman said the organization has been looking at permanent sheltering options within the community. He said the organization isn’t sure how much it would cost to create a permanent home but he guessed between $100,000 and $200,000.

Judy Stemen said Thrivent Financial

wanted to set an example and encourage other businesses, service organizations, individuals and churches to offer donations to get the project started.

Numbers at the overnight shelter, which is open October through April, have increased this year. Hardman said PADS, which is hosted by various churches in Morris, have seen up to 19 people a night.

A permanent shelter would provide beds, showers, lockers and less confusion of where to go each night, according to a news release provided by Stemen, as well as provide consistency in shelter organization and coordination of volunteers.

Sports Authority will close Joliet store, Romeoville warehouse

By BOB OKON

bokon@shawmedia.com and The ASSOCIATED PRESS Sports Authority will close a Joliet store and Romeoville warehouse.

The retailer filed Wednesday for bankruptcy, announcing it would close 140 stores and distribution centers in Romeoville and Denver.

The list of store closings in the company’s bankruptcy filing includes the Joliet store, which opened in late 2014 at 2700 Plainfield Road. Sports Authority occupies much of the space vacated when MyGofer closed. About a year after Sports Authority opened in Joliet, Dick’s Sporting Goods opened a store across the street.

The company is closing 11 stores in Illinois, including suburban locations in Orland Hills, Matteson, Geneva, Lombard, Schaumburg, Calumet City, Lake Zurich and Northbrook. Also closing are the Chicago store in Water Tower Place and a store in Springfield.

The warehouse in Romeoville employs 66 workers, Mayor John Noak said.

“We have manufacturers and logistics companies now that can’t find enough people to fill positions,” Noak said. “The positive is there’s a demand for those type of positions in our marketplace right now.”

Sports Authority leases about 200,000 square feet in the building, he said.

The Englewood, Colorado, company has 463 stores in 41 states and Puerto Rico. The store closings are

expected to take up to three months.

Sports Authority stores will remain open and run on normal schedules during the Chapter 11 process.

The company’s website will continue to function, and the chain plans to honor warranties on items purchased at its stores or online.

“We are taking this action so that we can continue to adapt our business to meet the changing dynamics in the retail industry,” CEO Michael Foss said in a written statement. The executive said the company needs fewer stores as consumers are increasingly shifting to online shopping.

The retail industry as a whole has struggled with the consumer move to online shopping, trying to find ways to lure customers to brick-and-mortar stores instead. Macy’s Inc. has opened Macy’s Backstage, in order to go head to head with discount retailer T.J. Maxx. And J.C. Penney Co. is using store-label offerings to fight against pricing pressures from online rivals and recently launched a new campaign called “Get Your Penney’s Worth,” which offers certain store-label items for pennies.

In a letter to customers posted on the company’s website, Foss said that Sports Authority’s long-term plan includes upgrading stores and improving its website.

Foss said that The Sports Authority Inc., which is privately held, has received interest from third parties that may want to invest in or buy some or all of the business. The company plans to continue evaluating all of its options, he added.

Trial: Autopsy showed victim stabbed too many times to count

By BRIAN STANLEY

bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Joslyn Woods sustained so many deep and crosscut slashes to her body that the pathologist who performed her autopsy was unable to say how many times she was stabbed.

Dr. Michel Humilier testified Thursday that Woods died after being stabbed multiple times in her aorta and jugular vein.

Woods’ body was dis- Drumaine S. covered Sept. 3, 2014, McKinley on the floor of a laundry room at the Evergreen Terrace housing project in Joliet. Authorities have said Drumaine S. McKinley said he arranged online a paid sexual encounter with Woods, but stabbed her repeatedly after she took out a knife and they argued over money. McKinley is facing murder charges and his attorneys say he acted in self-defense.

A technician at the state police

crime lab testified that it is mostly Woods’ blood on a knife police found near her body, and there’s about a 1 in 70 chance the other blood is not McKinley’s.

Woods’ blood also was matched to a shirt McKinley is accused of discarding in a trash can on Ottawa Street, but there was not enough DNA to determine who was wearing the shirt, according to testimony. Joliet police officers testified earlier this week that gauze pads were held against the armpits of the shirt to obtain a scent for a canine unit that eventually helped locate McKinley.

Will County Deputy Coroner Eryn Gray said Woods was found in the laundry room with “a gaping wound” to the back of her neck and many punctures on her arms and back. “[The room] was hot. I remember that well,” Gray said. “The heaters were running because the doors were constantly open.”

Joliet 911 dispatcher Sandra Ponce testified she received a 911 call at 6:38 a.m. from a man saying

his girlfriend had been stabbed on the west side of Joliet. Prosecutors said McKinley made that call.

“Someone stabbed my girlfriend.

I just came to check on her. ... I’m going to leave. I ain’t getting in trouble for this. ... I got blood all over me, man. I’m scared,” the man on the 911 call said.

The caller repeatedly told Ponce he was on the “west side” when she asked for his location, but only mentioned “Broadway” once and hung up when she asked what his name was, according to the recording.

“She’s on the Backpage. They [should have] a sting and stop this prostitution because kids [are] getting killed,” the caller said. Backpage is an online classified website that has frequently been used to advertise prostitution.

Ponce tried to call the phone again two times, but no one answered. An Evergreen Terrace resident called 911 at 8:17 a.m. when she found Woods’ body.

The trial is scheduled to continue Friday.

LOCAL BRIEF Goose Lake Prairie Partners seeking funds for mural

MORRIS – Goose Lake Prairie Partners, the volunteer group supporting the activities at Goose Lake Prairie State Natural Area in Morris, is planning to do a major art project in the park’s visitor center.

The partners are looking for help in funding the large educational mural that will chronicle changes in the park area from the glacier that caused the area’s topographic features to present day. The purpose of the mural is geographical, historical and cultural.

The mural will be on seven 4-feet-by8-feet sheets of plywood mounted on a support system that will allow them to be removed when necessary. From left to right it would depict the glacier, mega fauna, Marquette and Joliet, later settlers, the I&M Canal and small communities, the Jugtown clay pipe business and deepening of the Illinois River. It will finish with power stations and other industries that now anchor the region.

The early estimate for the project is about $7,000. Those interested in donating can make checks payable to: Goose Lake Prairie Partners, 5010 N. Jugtown Road, Morris, IL 60450.

An automatic standby generator is a back up electrical system that operates whether you are home or away.

Within seconds of an outage, it automatically supplies power directly to your home’s electrical circuit breaker box. After utility power returns, the generator shuts itself off and waits for the next outage. It operates on natural gas or liquid propane gas and it sits outside just like a central air conditioning unit.

through the district and participated in town halls, he heard a repeated complaint that current elected leaders are absent.

“Like most Americans, I have seen that our government has not provided the quality of service that we, as Americans, should expect,” Maggitt said. “I consider myself a public servant. As a military veteran, I have had a global experience serving and meeting the expectations of my country. I will take those principles and take those experiences back to Congress and provide the quality of service that we expect.”

Walz, a Warren Township High School District 121 Board member, said he is running because “the middle class is woefully unrepresented in Washington to the point that we are not represented at all. And it seems like the moneyed interests get any and all of the attention – and that does not seem to be quite right to me.”

“I’m not going to be beholden to anybody but the middle class and common sense,” Walz added.

Walz, 53, who works in sales, also cited the “disastrous Supreme Court decision on Citizens United that allows for unlimited, undisclosed amounts of money to campaign for an issue or a candidate – and that is a cancer on democracy.”

“It’s undoing one man, one vote – that is what democracy is,” Walz said.

“In Warren Township, I spearheaded an advisory question on the ballot to declare that corporations are not people, and money is not speech. In 24,000 votes, residents supported it 2-1.”

The three Democrats did not criticize each other.

“Any one of us, on our worst day, would be better than Randy Hultgren,” Walz said. “I’m not running against my opponents. I’m running for the 14th District.”

Improvements planned for Commerce Street

By SARWAT S. AHMAD

Shaw Media correspondent LOCKPORT – Lockport is planning a renovation this year of the Commerce Street corridor from Eighth to 11th streets to provide easier access to businesses during next year’s major Illinois Department of Transportation construction project for State Street.

According to a proposal presented at Wednesday night’s City Council Committee of the Whole meeting, the project would cost $370,959. This includes a $47,410 contract with V3 companies for design, engineering and construction plans.

The project will include laying asphalt on Commerce Street from Eighth to 11th streets. It also includes asphalt for the entry alleyways behind State Street near the Hamilton Street parking lot to provide safer walkways for pedestrians and better vehicle access, according to City Administrator Ben Benson’s proposal.

The city has been considering extending the Commerce Street project to Seventh Street, but that would cost an additional $140,000, Benson said.

The multimillion dollar IDOT project, slated for summer 2017, includes realigning and widening State Street from Eighth to 10th streets and adding left turn lanes to alleviate congestion. The city will use the IDOT project to replace water mains, and the city also is considering plans for a streetscape project.

Three Democrats are vying for their party’s nomination in the March 15 primary in the 14th Congressional District.

John J. Hosta of Spring Grove, Jesse Lee Maggitt of Plainfield and Jim Walz of Gurnee all say they could do a better job in Congress than incumbent U.S. Rep. Randy Hultgren, R-Plano, who is unopposed in the Republican primary.

The winner of the Democratic primary will run against Hultgren in November.

“The reason I’m running is our weak trade policies impacted me personally,” Hosta said, adding that he owns businesses that were affected. “Let’s go back to what our founding fathers established, that our trade policies are not just fair trade, but balanced trade.”

Hosta, 56, said he sees trade policies that do not benefit the country.

“It’s the worst farm bill in the history of the country – allowing the Chinese to handle our meat and ship it back to us,” Hosta said. “We gave [billions] to General Motors, and they decide now to build Buicks in China. They are taking taxpayer money and betraying taxpayers by manufacturing abroad.”

Maggitt, a retired member of the U.S. Army who served in Desert Shield and Desert Storm, said the primary reason he is running is because he has seen “our government shut down on itself,” referring to a funding gap in 2013 that resulted in a shutdown.

“What Congress has done is nothing and held the rest of the country under arrest, when they had the government shut down,” Maggitt said. “And my opponent on the Republican side [Hultgren] has been an advocate of that type of activity.”

According to Hultgren’s website, hultgren.house.gov, he gave back his

St. Baldrick’s Foundation expands fundraising with outreach, events

By VIKAAS SHANKER

vshanker@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – The Plainfield St. Baldrick’s Foundation has taken new initiatives in hopes of raising more money at this year’s head-shaving charity event.

The organization has partnered with the Holy Spirit Knights of Columbus, GymQuest of Plainfield, Nevins Brewing Company, Plainfield Fire Protection District and the Plainfield Area Chamber of Commerce in hopes of raising more money.

The St. Baldrick’s event in the past has raised about $46,000 annually. But new coordinator Jim Nowak has set a goal of $75,000.

“We’re kind of stuck at this level,” Nowak said. “Can’t we do any better?

We decided to figure out what we can do to push this thing.”

The St. Baldrick’s Foundation was incorporated in 2005, and attempts

More online To learn more about St. Baldrick’s, visit www.stbaldricks.org. to “fill the funding gap” created between the disproportionate funding childhood cancer receives and the amount needed.

During St. Baldrick’s – a wordplay on St. Patrick’s Day – people pledge donations for pediatric cancer research before they shave their heads in solidarity with child cancer patients who have undergone chemotherapy or other medications.

This year’s event coincides with the Hometown Irish Parade in Plainfield, with both being held March 13. St. Baldrick events include head shaving starting at 10 a.m. at GymQuest, 14511 S. Van Dyke Road, and lasting until 1 p.m. There will be music and dancing, as well as catering

by CiCi’s Pizza.

Another head shaving will start at 3 p.m. in Nevins Brewery, 12337 S. Route 59, with a live band, raffles, an auction and food and drinks.

Aurora resident Jeff Ruth is part of a team, the “Mutineers,” that has been participating in the Plainfield events for eight years.

“I joined up because a friend of a friend lost his 5-year-old son,” Ruth said. “He was diagnosed with cancer, and 17 days after, he passed away. So we do it in honor of him.”

Ruth said the event has a positive atmosphere, with people dressing in green and sometimes in themes.

“We’ve done a lot of outreach this year,” Nowak said. “Maybe if not $75,000 this year, we can get closer every year.”

Continued from page 9 have voiced concerns about access to their shops during the construction, so the city wanted to ensure an alternative, Mayor Steven Streit said during an interview.

“Cleaning up Commerce Street will allow people to enter the stores from the back doors, as well as provide alternate parking,” Streit said.

The proposal is set to be considered at the March 16 City Council meeting.

Separately, the City Council approved an intergovernmental agreement with Will County to install temporary traffic signals at the intersection of 143rd Street and Gougar Road in conjunction with the ML Realty Partners’ proposed Heritage Crossings Corporate Center.

Construction of the 228-acre business park has been delayed because of the county’s property acquisition issues, and the move allows the construction to continue, according to a city memo.

ML Realty Partners will pay for the traffic signal installation and manage the construction.

POLICE REPORTS

Presence Saint Joseph Medical Center Chief Medical Officer Speaks Out on Zika Virus SPONSORED BY

On February 1, the World Health Organization declared the Zika virus outbreak a “public health emergency of international concern.” The virus has spread on a massive scale in Brazil and now to nearly 30 countries in the South and Central Americas.

“The Zika virus is a mosquito-borne virus related to dengue, yellow fever and West Nile,” said Gary Lipinski, M.D., Chief Medical Officer, Presence Health, South Suburban Region. “But it is not a newly discovered virus – Zika was identified several decades ago and there have been occasional outbreaks in other parts of the world over the years.”

Approximately 80% of infections do not result in any symptoms at all. Symptoms are usually mild and may include fever, rash, joint pain and conjunctivitis, although, there are two linkages experts are most concerned with: Zika’s potential impact on infants developing in the womb, and the vi-

rus’ connection to a paralyzing neurological condition called Guillain-Barré syndrome.

Studies are under way to investigate these associations and the role of other contributing factors.

The CDC has issued “travel notices” for people traveling to certain countries where Zika virus transmission is ongoing. While there is currently no vaccine to prevent Zika virus infection, Dr. Lipinski urges travelers to protect themselves by taking steps to prevent mosquito bites by “staying indoors or wearing long-sleeved shirts and long pants, and using insect repellent.”

Dr. Lipinski added, “As the weather warms and spring break approaches, the Zika virus should be taken seriously and individuals must be smart about their travels.

I would advise anyone who is concerned about their own symptoms, has visited an area where Zika virus is present or had sexual contact with a person who has returned from an area where Zika is present to see their healthcare provider.”

Morris Fire Protection District to pre-plan for 1,000 properties

MORRIS – The Morris Fire Protection & Ambulance District announced this week an initiative to assess about 1,000 buildings within its district during the next three to five years.

The ultimate goal is to protect lives and property.

During 2015, the Morris Fire Protection & Ambulance District responded to 5,500 fire or EMS calls, according to a news release.

The district expects the call volume to increase in 2016.

The agency wants to assess the approximate 1,000 businesses and commercial buildings for elements such as elevators, stairwells, walls and special-needs equipment to better know the inner workings of a building or structure. Morris Fire District Captain Jeff Wilson stressed the visits are not a fire or building inspections, but a tool first responders can use to keep residents safe.

Wilson said it’s also important to know how many people can be expected in a building at any given time. The information the pre-plan team will gather is not open to the general public.

For many senior citizens, their home is their single biggest asset, often accounting for more than 50% of their net worth.

With the cost of basic necessities such as food on the rise, it’s no wonder why more and more seniors are using HECM reverse mortgages to turn their home equity into extra cash for retirement.

However, there are still millions of homeowners who could benefit from this FHA-insured loan but may simply not be aware of this “retirement secret.”

Some people think that reverse mortgages simply sound “too good to be true.” You get cash out of your home, no monthly payments, and you still own your home.

NO MONTHLY MORTGAGE PAYMENTS?* EXTRA CASH? It’s true, no monthly mortgage payments are required with a reverse mortgage; the homeowners only have to pay for maintenance, property taxes, homeowner’s insurance and, if required, their HOA fees.

In fact, reverse mortgages took hold when president Ronald Reagan signed the FHA mortgage bill into law over 25 years ago to help senior citizens remain in In 1988, President Reagan signed the their homes. They’re simply FHA Reverse Mortan effective way for folks 62 gage bill into law. and older to get the cash they need to enjoy their retirement.

Although today’s HECM reverse mortgages have been greatly improved to provide greater protection for homeowners, there are still a lot of misconceptions. For example, many people mistakenly believe the home must be paid off in full in order to qualify for a reverse mortgage, which is not the case. One key benefit of a reverse mortgage is that it automatically pays off your existing mortgage, which frees up cash flow, a huge blessing for those on a fixed income.

“I now have paid off my credit cards and have money in the bank and still have my home.”

- Margaret Tennant, Summerfield, NC

Unfortunately, many homeowners who could benefit from a reverse mortgage don’t even bother to get more information due to rumors they’ve heard. That’s a shame because reverse mortgages are helping many seniors live a better life.

A recent survey by American Advisors Group (AAG), the nation’s number one HECM reverse mortgage lender, found that 96% of their clients were satisfied with their reverse mortgages.

Illinois Senate President John Cullerton, D-Chicago, speaks to lawmakers while on the Senate floor during session Thursday at the state Capitol in Springfield. The Democrat-led Senate approved a measure that would allow an outside arbitrator to settle state-employee wages and working conditions in Illinois if union negotiations reach an impasse. is no way to pay for the programs outlined in the Democrats’ spending bills without reducing spending in other areas.

The Democrats’ funding bills work in two parts. One measure forgives the repayment of $454 million of state funds taken last year from other special funds. Another bill allocates nearly $3.7 billion to a long list of social service programs – everything from homeless youth services to mental health programs and housing for low-income residents. It also budgets $397 million for tuition grants for low-income college students.

The proposals come a day after Democrats failed to override Rauner’s veto of a $721 million measure for colleges and tuition grants.

Democrats said Thursday’s measures give the state spending authority. Republicans insist it’s a false promise ahead of the March 15 primaries.

“I think it’s pretty sad that we go through this exercise day in and day out knowing that this is just a political sideshow. It’s almost comical,” said Rep. Dwight Kay, a Republican from Edwardsville.

The parties continue to battle over issues that have now lasted almost a year. Rauner wants to overhaul term limits, change how legislative districts are drawn and curb union power before signing off on the tax increase many believe is necessary. Democrats contend Rauner needs to drop what they view as extreme demands.

Even some Democrats seemed exasperated by the lack of progress on a state budget. Rep. Jaime Andrade, a Chicago Democrat, predicted that voters may end up punishing lawmakers.

“A lot of incumbents can be beat

by Mickey Mouse because the people are just very frustrated out there,” he said.

CHICAGO – A judge has sentenced a woman with a history of sneaking aboard airplanes to six months of house arrest and placed her on two years’ mental health probation.

At a hearing on Thursday Cook County Circuit Judge William Raines ordered that 64-year-old Marilyn Hartman serve her house arrest at a mental health facility where she now lives.

Last month, she was arrested at an airport bus shelter center at O’Hare and charged with a felony probation violation and misdemeanor criminal trespassing.

Chicago’s Navy Pier to open new Ferris wheel May 27

Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s office said Wednesday the opening will kick off Navy Pier’s centennial celebration.

The new 196-foot Ferris wheel will stand 49 feet taller and fit up to 180 more passengers per ride than the previous attraction, which opened in 1995 and was removed in October.

The replacement also will have temperature-controlled gondolas, padded seats, TV screens and speakers.

It’s part of a $640 million project approved in 2013 aimed at drawing more tourists and trade shows to Chicago.

SPRINGFIELD – Illinois Republicans blasted House Democrats for earmarking nearly $3.7 billion for colleges and various human service programs, saying the legislation they passed Thursday is a pre-primary sham because the state still has no budget.

Democrats unveiled their funding proposal late Wednesday evening and described it as a compromise, angering Republicans who said they were not even consulted.

House Republican Leader Jim Durkin said during a tense debate that his party is willing to work with Democrats to pass a state budget, which has been overdue since July 1.

“I am waiting for you and your side of the aisle to work with us to try to find a compromise, not shoving a bill down our throat,” Durkin said.

The Democrats’ funding proposal still needs to pass the Senate, perhaps as soon as next week, before it goes to Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner, who is expected to veto it.

During the state’s budget standoff, colleges have gone without funding, low-income students have lost tuition grants and social service agencies that help the elderly and homeless youth have closed or cut back the help they provide.

“Without a budget, the state has slammed the door shut in the faces of all of these needs,” said Rep. Barbara Flynn Currie, the Democrats’ House leader.

Illinois also is incurring more debt while the impasse continues because court-mandated spending is occurring but at revenue levels from last year, when the individual Illinois income tax rate was at 5 percent, not the current rate of 3.75 percent.

Rauner’s budget office sent a letter to House lawmakers Thursday before the vote saying the backlog of bills now is at $7.2 billion. The letter said there

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump (second from left) gestures as Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and Ohio Gov. John Kasich watch him Thursday during a Republican presidential primary debate at Fox Theatre in Detroit.

Republican debate night: Insults flying once more The ASSOCIATED PRESS DETROIT – Picking up right where they left off, Donald Trump, Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio barked out fresh insults at each other in a Republican presidential debate Thursday night that also featured a crude sexual reference from Trump – and a healthy dose of policy, too.

Cruz and Rubio, who earlier had devoted considerable debate time to throwing sharp elbows at one another, were relentless in training their fire on Trump.

Rubio justified his attacks on Trump by saying the billionaire businessman had “basically mocked everybody” over the past year. Trump countered with a feint, saying he’d called Rubio a “lightweight” in the past but “he’s really not that much of a lightweight.”

Trump then noted that Rubio had mocked his hands as small, widely viewed as an insult about Trump’s sexual prowess. Holding his hands up to the audience, Trump declared, “I guarantee you, there’s no problem” in that area.

It was a jaw-dropping moment in a campaign that’s been full of surprises from the beginning.

For all of the criticism and ill will, Cruz, Rubio and John Kasich all said they would support Trump if he is the Republican nominee.

He, too, said he would support whoever wins.

There was plenty of policy, too, as Rubio and Cruz pressed Trump aggressively on his con-

servative credentials, his business practices and shifting policy positions. Trump, in short order, acknowledged his willingness to deal and be flexible when it suits his needs.

He said it was fine that Rubio had negotiated with other lawmakers on immigration policy.

He said he had changed his own mind to support admitting more highly skilled workers from overseas, saying matter-of-factly, “I’m changing. I’m changing. We need highly skilled people in this country.”

And he also was matter of fact about providing campaign contributions to leading Democrats, including 10 checks to Hillary Clinton, reviled by many conservatives.

Trump said it was simply business.

“I’ve supported Democrats and I’ve supported Republicans, and as a businessman I owed that to my company, to my family, to my workers, to everybody to get along,” he said.

When moderator Megyn Kelly told Trump his shifts caused some people to question his core, Trump insisted: “I have a very strong core. I have a very strong core. But I’ve never seen a successful person who wasn’t flexible, who didn’t have a certain degree of flexibility.”

Kasich sought to turn Trump’s statement on the value of “flexibility” into a character question. When the Ohio governor meets with voters, he said, “You know what they really want to know? If somebody tells them something, can they believe it?”

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – NASA’s yearlong spaceman Scott Kelly took a long-anticipated plunge Thursday, jumping into his backyard pool, astronaut outfit and all.

“Oh, man, that feels good,” Kelly said as he floated to the surface.

After nearly a year of space sponge baths, Kelly didn’t even take time to change out of his blue flight suit. He walked right up to the edge of the pool, tilted sideways and fell in. It was still dark outside early Thursday morning in Houston – he’d been yearning for this moment throughout his U.S.-record setting mission.

A video of his plunge was posted to his Twitter account Thursday, a day after his return from the International Space Station.

“There’s no place like home,” he tweeted.

Kelly – looking and acting remarkably hearty after 340 days in space – was reunited with his family earlier in the morning in Houston after a flight from Kazakhstan, where his mission ended.

Kelly’s girlfriend, Johnson Space Center public affairs representative Amiko Kauderer, and his two daugh-

hours after returning to Earth in a Russian Soyuz capsule – when Kelly finally got to Houston’s Ellington Airport near Johnson Space Center.

“I’m used to going 17,500 mph, but this airplane doesn’t do quite that,” Kelly joked at a brief welcoming ceremony attended by Jill Biden, wife of Vice President Joe Biden.

She brought him a gift of beer from President Barack Obama and some apple pie. “Nothing’s more American than that!” she said.

Kelly noted that when he left Houston in February last year, he was still 50. Now he’s 52, thanks to his Feb. 21st birthday.

“It was a very long trip,” he said.

“But it feels great. It’s great to be back in Texas on U.S. soil.”

Before he could go home to his own bed – and his own pool – Kelly had to detour to Johnson to endure more medical tests to measure his body’s adaptation to gravity. The main reason for the long trip – double the usual station stint – was so NASA could gather data that will keep future Mars explorers healthy and happy during the 2½-year expeditions planned for the 2030s and beyond. His brother took part in many of the studies as a ground control and unprecedented genetic double.

OUR VIEW

Budget woes a threat to soil, water conservation districts The list of agencies and groups imperiled by the ongoing Illinois budget stalemate has gotten longer.

The state’s 97 soil and water conservation districts have gone without state funding since March – nearly a year now – because of the lack of a budget for the fiscal year that began July 1.

And now, those districts are running out of money.

Soil and water conservation districts are an amazing success story. Born in desperate days of the 1930s Dust Bowl era, the districts have greatly reduced the waste of natural resources vital to our way of life.

District offices coordinate programs with landowners to conserve soil and water on farms, protect groundwater resources, conserve and restore wetlands, and plant trees and vegetation to hold soil in place.

Conservation districts also conduct fish sales, do wildlife habitat planning, and educate schoolchildren about the importance of natural resources and the need to conserve them.

If these were to go away, a program vital to the continued responsible stewardship of soil and water by area landowners may wither away.

Local districts should not have to beg for money when it is so clearly in the public’s interest to promote conservation.

Illinois’ leaders need to come to terms on a budget soon so that important, far-reaching programs such as soil and water conservation districts can be properly funded to continue their important work.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Obama should appoint new Supreme Court justice

To the Editor: Once again, Robert Lemke is flying his bias flag high. President Obama is just as much a patriot as anyone – even Lemke.

There’s a small fact that Lemke ignores in his latest screed (“Angry and concerned voters,” letter that was in the Feb. 23, 2016, edition). President Obama is a whole person, serving a whole second term. That term has more than 325 days left. No longer are black males three-fifths of a person (see original Constitution, Article I, section 2). They’re whole people now. And presidents serve whole terms, still. That’s four years, 365 days each. Not “threeyears-and-a-bit.”

Even Republican Sen. Mark Kirk said that President Obama should pick the next Supreme Court justice. Every president gets to nominate a justice when the circumstances warrant it.

There’s nothing in the Constitution that says they can’t do that.

Why is it “a tremendous disrespect to the Constitution” when a senator says that George Bush can’t nominate a Supreme Court Justice, but when President Obama wants to – legitimately – nominate a successor to Justice Antonin Scalia, all of a sudden the sky is falling and “it’s against the rules”?

You know – the rules that don’t exist.

Back in 2007, that senator who said Bush wasn’t allowed to confirm a new justice was called a “blind obstructionist.”

Now? According to Lemke, this is “patriotism.”

It’s not. It’s the Republican-controlled Congress refusing to do its job. They say they revere the Constitution, but they forget that they swore to uphold the entire document – not just the parts they like.

Oh, and that nonsense about Obama being a “lame duck”? Merriam-Webster defines a lame duck as “an elected official continuing to hold office during the period between the election and inauguration of a successor.”

“Between the election and inauguration.” Neither of those things has happened yet. Don’t count the chickens before they’re hatched.

No savings for motorists in secretary of state ‘cost savings’

To the Editor: The Illinois secretary of state has done away with the mailing for license plate renewals, and it has just announced it’s not going to send out emissions test notices.

And this is fine – but where is the cost savings to the public? If the state now says it is saving $450,000 on renewal and $450,000 on emission notices a month, why don’t we have a license fee reduction cost?

And what about the inconvenience of going to get your tag and finding out you need an emissions test? Now you have to leave and return again. Where is our cost reduction?

It seems that the Secretary of State’s Office is just taking, taking, taking.

Joliet West’s Tabyous Casterberry scores from inside during last week’s regular-season finale against Joliet Central. The Tigers won, 72-63, and will battle Plainfield North in Friday night’s Neuqua Valley Regional final.

16 POSSIBLE COMBINATIONS Four regionals feeding Class 4A Lockport Sectional all up for grabs

Right up front, I admit my math is rusty.

If memory serves, however, when you have four basketball games and know you will have one winner in each, there are 16 combinations of winners that are possible.

When we’re discussing the Class 4A Lockport Sectional, there truly are 16 possible combinations for next week’s semifinals at Lockport. All 16 are equally possible because in each of Friday night’s regional finals, a good case can be made for either team winning.

VIEWS Dick Goss The matchups are No. 1 seed Minooka against No. 8 Bolingbrook at Minooka, No. 2 Lincoln-Way Central vs. No. 7 Joliet Central at Lincoln-Way Central, No. 3 Joliet West vs. No. 6 Plainfield North at Neuqua Valley, and No. 4 Oswego vs. No. 5 Stagg at Andrew.

The combination of winners I have

in mind is Minooka, Joliet Central, Joliet West and Oswego. But as soon as I say that, the Bolingbrook, Lincoln-Way Central, Plainfield North and Stagg combination can happen as easily.

One reason I like Minooka to win its regional is the Indians did not play their best basketball in surviving Romeoville, 51-46, in overtime in the semifinals. Always solid defensively, Minooka likely will rebound with a big all-around game, led by Joe Butler and Larry Roberts.

Not that the Indians won’t need it.

Bolingbrook has been playing well for the last month and is on the tip of everyone’s tongue as a team that could win the sectional. The Raiders have some size, and they are athletic. Nana Akenten is an excellent player.

A perk for being the No. 1 seed sometimes is that you face nothing more than the No. 8 seed in the regional final. In this case, however, getting No. 8 is no bargain.

Before watching Joliet Central beat Plainfield East on Wednesday night,

Providence’s Eric Justice shoots during the Celtics’ 61-37 victory Tuesday over Joliet Catholic in a semifinal of the Lincoln-Way West Regional.

• GOSS

Continued from page 19 I would have gone with Lincoln-Way Central in that matchup. However, I got the feeling the Steelmen have their game back together after a rough final week of the regular season. They probably cannot win if Malik Fuller and Jose Grubbs do not have good games, but those two generally are big-game players.

Lincoln-Way Central has gotten good guard play all season, but the Steelmen’s quickness on the perimeter will put the Knights to the test.

The Joliet West against Plainfield North matchup will be a thriller based on what transpired when the two met at the Pontiac Holiday Tournament. West won, 66-63, after a game-tying 3-pointer by North’s Henry Thompson was waved off.

The whistle blew to stop play for an injury just as he was about to launch the shot.

Thompson will be a factor this time if West’s defense does not keep an eye on him. Of course, Kevin Krieger is the big gun for North.

Trevian Bell and Teyvion Kirk have to play well for West to move on, and the feeling here is they will deliver.

The other sidelight anytime these two play is that North coach Bob Krahulik was the North sophomore coach when current Joliet West coach Nick DiForti was the North head coach.

The final piece of the puzzle is Oswego against Stagg. Both teams have endured ups and downs this season, but Oswego seems to be headed in a better direction since the return of point guard Malique Ross, so we will go with the Panthers.

There are 16 combinations out there, and your guess on which one it will be filling the Lockport Sectional field is as good as any. It’s going to be a fun Friday night.

Of course, there also is a game of major interest happening in the Class 3A Lincoln-Way West Regional. That’s where the host Warriors will take on upset-minded Providence in the latest Battle of New Lenox, with the winner advancing to the Streator Sectional.

These two never have met on the basketball floor, and you knew whenever it happened, the fans would be ready. Now, in a regional championship setting, it should be absolutely wild.

The interesting factor here is whether the Celtics who played so well Tuesday in overwhelming Joliet Catholic, 61-37, will be the same Celtics that West sees. If so, the Warriors will be in for the fight of their lives.

It’s a tough call. In fact, I’ll flip a coin to finish this column. Heads it’s Providence, tails Lincoln-Way West.

It’s heads. The Celtics move on.

Meanwhile, women’s coach Samantha Quigley also was recognized as winner of the CCAC’s Coach of the Year award. She led the Saints to a 17-2 mark in conference play as they captured their first CCAC regular-season championship since 1988-89.

The Lewis men’s team also received a GLVC award as Delaney Blaylock was selected as the league’s Co-Freshman of the Year, sharing the honor with Southern Indiana’s Alex Stein.

It’s the second-straight year that the Flyers have received that award.

Blaylock’s teammate Max Strus picked up the honor last season.

Blaylock ranks fourth on the Flyers in scoring (11.9) and is third in rebounding (5.9). He reached double figures in 19 of 29 games and is the GLVC’s leading freshman rebounder.

Beside those recognized as players of the year, six others received all-conference recognition in the two leagues. Charnelle Reed was a firstteam selection, and Kamari Jordan was a second-team pick for USF’s women; Jens Kennedy was named to the second team, and Edvinas Presniakovas was honorable mention for the Saints’ men; and Strus earned firstteam honors while Kyle Nelson was a second-team pick for the Flyers’ men.

It’s definitely been a special season for the men’s and women’s basketball teams at both the University of St. Francis and Lewis University.

All four squads have collected at least 21 wins so far, and three of the teams have been ranked among the top 10 in their divisions throughout most of the season.

St. Francis teams owned a combined 56-7 mark (.889), while Lewis squads had a 48-9 record (.842) heading into this weekend’s Great Lakes Valley Conference Tournament.

The Fighting Saints men (28-3), ranked third in NAIA Division II, and USF’s women (28-4), ranked sixth, both have qualified already for next week’s NAIA National Tournament.

Lewis’ women (27-1), who are ranked fourth in NCAA Division II and own a 22-game win streak, hope to advance again to the Division II national tournament.

After enjoying all of that success so far, it’s not surprising that both the Flyers and Saints were recognized with numerous honors in their respective conferences.

The Flyers women’s team made history this week when it was announced by the GLVC office that the team pulled off a feat that never before had been accomplished in the league.

Lewis received each of the GLVC’s top three awards during the same season. Those honors are for Player of the Year, Freshman of the Year and Coach of the Year.

Mariyah Brawner-Henley won Player of the Year honors for the second time in three years and became the first Flyer to make the All-GLVC first team three times. She ranks 10th in the nation in points (20.4) and ninth in rebounds (11.5). She’s the GLVC’s career rebounding leader, and her 69 career double-doubles ranks her second in NCAA Division II history.

Professional Snocross series returns to Route 66 Raceway for Friday, Saturday events

By TIM CRONIN

Shaw Media Correspondent Tucker Hibbert has won more than 100 races on the International Series of Champions Snocross circuit.

He won both races at Route 66 Raceway last year. He’s won nine straight – sweeping the last four stops on the series – this year, leading into the Friday-Saturday dates in the series at Route 66.

Can the 31-year-old Minnesotan, the Paul Bunyan of Snocross, be stopped?

Kody Kamm says he can. And Kamm, a 21-year-old from Kenosha, Wisconsin, has proved it can be done.

He’s done it.

Kamm won the second race of the season – one of only two in which Hibbert saw someone’s back as he crossed the finish line – in late November at Spirit Mountain in Duluth, Minnesota.

How he did it is deceptively simple in explanation, but difficult to accomplish.

“Get a good start and ride strong all the way,” Kamm said. “I got the hole

“You have to be aggressive, but drive defensively. You have to do that, always. You’ve got to work super hard.”

Kody Kamm

Kenosha, Wisconsin, snocross racer shot on the start, and after three or four laps, I had a seven-second lead.”

That’s a wide margin in Snocross, where 15 racers make the final. But a race usually is around 18 laps, so Kamm had work to do to lead all the way. Hibbert, as much as he likes to grab the lead, is a specialist in closing from behind, and making the key move to take the lead at a point where he can speed away. Kamm knew that as the went over the jumps and around the turns in Duluth.

“The last two or three laps, he was real close,” Kamm said. “You have to be aggressive, but drive defensively.

You have to do that, always. You’ve got to work super hard.”

Kamm held off Hibbert, who took second, with Tim Tremblay third.

And Tremblay won the next race, with Kamm third and Hibbert not even on the podium. He was fourth.

In the paddock, there was a thought that the 2015-16 season might not be slotted with rout after rout. Even Kamm’s runner-up finish to Hibbert in the season’s fourth race was looked upon favorably.

“We were smoking,” said Nate Hentges, owner of the team for which Kamm race. “It looked like there was going to be a real points race this year.”

Then Kamm crashed out of a race, hitting the snow in 0-degree weather, after which the Polaris snowmobile he races rolled atop him briefly. He broke his collarbone badly.

“Originally, they said I’d be out six to eight weeks,” Kamm said. “Then a specialist looked at it and said, ‘You’ll have surgery tomorrow and be out four to six months.’ ” In other words, the rest of the Sno-

cross season, and deep into the motocross year. That means someone else will have to crank it up beginning Friday night to knock Hibbert off his lofty perch.

It could be Petter Narsa, Kamm’s Swedish-born teammate at Hentges Racing. Narsa has a second and a pair of thirds this season, including last weekend’s second race in Mount Pleasant, Mich.

“He’s a really good rider,” Kamm said of Narsa, noting that Narsa broke a rib in a crash but missed only one weekend.

Hibbert leads the standings with 555 points, with Tremblay at 453 and Adam Renheim at 424. Narsa is ninth, with 295 points.

Action in all classes at Route 66 begins at 11 a.m. Friday, with the first Pro Open practice at 2 p.m. and the first heat race at 6:20 p.m. The final is scheduled for 9:05 p.m.

Saturday’s action, with junior classes included, begins at 7:55 a.m., with the first Pro Open practice at 2:30 p.m. and competition in the class starting at 6:25 p.m.

Reed-Custer vies vs. Aurora Christian for sectional title

By DRAKE SKLEBA

Shaw Media Correspondent BRAIDWOOD – Once again, the words of the late Yogi Berra are appropriate. For Reed-Custer boys varsity basketball coach Mark Porter and his Comets, it certainly is deja vu all over again as the Comets return to another Class 2A sectional championship game at 7 p.m. Friday at Clifton Central.

A year ago, Reed-Custer faced off against Elgin St. Edward for the Class 2A El Paso-Gridley Sectional title. A frigid shooting start for the Comets led to a 95-69 defeat and sent the 25-6 Comets home claiming, “Wait ’til next year.”

Next year is here. After ousting Metro Suburban Conference East champion Chicago Christian, 68-65, on Tuesday, the Comets (27-3) will face Aurora Christian (24-5) for the sectional title. Aurora Christian beat Bishop McNamara, 65-53, in Wednesday’s semifinal.

Travis Schoonover, who has scored more than 1,800 points in his ReedCuster career, leads the high-powered Comets attack. He averages 20.6 points and 3.6 assists. Brent Headrick averages 17.4 points and 8.5 rebounds. Guard Neil O’Donnell leads the Joliet area in assists at 8.5 a game; AJ Simonelli tops the area in shooting percentage at .737 and averages 6.3 rebounds.

The Eagles are led by sophomore Pat Wolfe, who had 22 points and eight rebounds in a win over Immaculate Conception in the Aurora Christian Regional final and scored 24 Wednesday against McNamara.

Clifton Central athletic director Jeff Fenton will brace for an invasion from Braidwood. More than 1,800 Comets fans packed their gym last Friday in the regional championship victory over El Paso-Gridley.

If, at around 8:30 p.m. Friday, the Comets and their fans are cutting down the nets at Clifton Central, it will be on to DeKalb for a 7:30 p.m. Tuesday supersectional against the Princeton Sectional winner, either Winnebago or Taylor Ridge-Rockridge.

SPRING TRAINING: DODGERS 6, WHITE SOX 1

Kershaw tosses 2 shutout innings as Dodgers top John Danks, White Sox The ASSOCIATED PRESS

GLENDALE, Ariz. – Clayton Kershaw threw two scoreless innings in his first spring start and new manager Dave Roberts won in his debut as the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the White Sox, 6-1, Thursday.

Kershaw struck out and gave up one hit. The three-time Cy Young Award winner is expected to pitch six times in spring games before he makes his sixth straight opening day start on April 4 at San Diego.

“It was all right. Physically, it felt good,” he said.

Los Angeles scored three runs Thursday in two innings off starter John Danks.

Roberts took over for Don Mattingly in the Dodgers’ dugout this season.

Meanwhile, White Sox manager Robin Ventura said he expects shortstop Jimmy Rollins to make the opening day roster. Rollins, who last spring was with the Dodgers in the Camelback Ranch clubhouse across the complex from the one where he is now, recently signed a minor league contract with the Sox. The 37-year-old veteran, the 2006 NL MVP, wasn’t surprised his stay with the Dodgers lasted only one season.

“It’s Corey Seager’s time,” Rollins said.

The 21-year-old Seager was the Dodgers’ starting shortstop Thursday.

PHOENIX – Chase Anderson pitched two scoreless innings in his Milwaukee spring training debut and helped a Brewers’ split squad to a 2-1 win Thursday over the Cubs.

Anderson struck out Kris Bryant in the first inning and allowed a single to Miguel Montero in the second.

“The body feels good and the arm feels good, which is the main thing you want to see,” said Anderson, acquired from Arizona last month along with Aaron Hill in a deal that included second baseman Jean Segura.

Montero added a single in the fourth, accounting for two of the Cubs’ seven hits. Bryant had a single in two

at-bats and Anthony Rizzo was 0 for 2 with a strikeout.

“It’s hard not to get the adrenaline going and competing, especially against the Cubs,” Anderson said.

“That’s a pretty good team over there and I like to go against the best. It’s going to make you better.”

Jonathan Lucroy had an RBI single for the Brewers in the third. Jacob Nottingham had a pair of doubles and scored a run, accounting for half of Milwaukee’s four hits.

“Chase got us started off good throwing strikes and when your starter is rolling like that it’s a lot easier to come in and get some hits,” said Lucroy, looking to come off an injury-hampered 2015 season.

More than a pretty blanket

Pride of the Prairie Quilters sharing talents with others Know more

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

PLAINFIELD – Woven into the fabric of Pride of the Prairie Quilters is longevity, support, friendship and outreach.

The 30-year-old guild has 155 members from the Joliet and Plainfield areas, said president Lana Stafford of Minooka, all of whom share a deep love for quilting and outreach.

“That’s been our philosophy from the beginning,” said Jan Mueller of Joliet, guild publicity chairwoman. “It feels good to give back, to donate.”

Pride of the Prairie Quilters will hold “A Twist on Tradition” quilt show March 12 and 13 at Richland School District 88A in Crest Hill.

Features include demonstrations, vendors, raffles, a More online bake sale and an exhibit of more than 350 quilts.

The finished quilts show the variety of techniques that members use. Stafford, for example, Visit this adds embroidery to some of her quilts, article at TheHefor practical as rald-News.com well as aesthetic to view a video of reasons. sample quilts.

“I can’t sew and watch TV,” Stafford said, “but I can do handwork and watch TV.” None of the exhibited quilts will be for sale, Mueller said, but that’s OK. “It’s pretty to look at,” said Mueller, a lifelong seamstress and longtime guild member. “Even people who don’t quilt still like to look at them.”

Cheryl Parker of Aurora, who began quilting in 2001 and joined the guild six years ago, is working on a Quilt of Valor for the troops in honor of both her grandfathers who served in World War II. Parker gains plenty of inspiration from other members, especially at sew-ins, which are held twice a month on Saturdays. “There’s always new patterns, new colors and new ways to do things,” Parker said.

Christine Williams of North Aurora, a 12-year member, said she has learned techniques such as paper piecing and appliques at guild events.

Williams’ penchant is for scraps and 1800s reproduction quilts.

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff apply lotion or cream between your toes.

This area tends to be moist, and you may end up encouraging some type of fungal or bacterial growth.

As your nails become thicker with aging, they may be harder to cut. When I recommend treatments, they do not always involve pharmaceuticals. When a home remedy may work, I mention it as well. Here’s one that may help: Apply a bit of Vicks VapoRub ointment (normally used for easing chest congestion) to your thick nails, massaging it on gently. Wipe off any excess ointment before pulling on socks or going to bed. After a month or so of daily applications, you should find your toenails softer and easier to trim.

It’s not clear why this works, but one of the ingredients in Vicks VapoRub (probably the eucalyptus oil) apparently softens the nails.

The questions readers send in sometimes ask about diseases, particularly major afflictions such as cancer, heart disease and diabetes. But there is one category of suffering readers ask about more than disease: decrepitude.

And lots of people have questions about their aching feet. I’m particularly sympathetic as I’m writing this column, as I’m suffering an attack of gout, and my right foot hurts.

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

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

PREVIOUS SOLUTION

• Friday, March 4, 2016

Dear Dr. K: As I’ve entered my 60s, I’ve noticed my toenails are thicker and the skin on my feet is drier. Should I change my foot care routine?

Dear Reader: Just like the rest of your body, your feet change with age. By age 50, you may have lost almost half of the fatty padding on the soles of your feet. To compensate, you may want to add overthe-counter cushioning inserts to your shoes for additional padding.

As your feet age, it also may be time to consider different forms of exercise.

Swimming and bicycling, for example, put less pressure on the joints of the foot than jogging or tennis.

It’s also a good idea to stretch your feet and ankles regularly to help reduce the incidence of injury. I’ve put examples, descriptions and illustrations of some stretches and exercises on my website, www.askdoctork.com.

Toenail and foot skin health are important, too. Skin grows thinner and drier with age, and nails may become thicker or more brittle. If your nails are thick and yellow, it may indicate a health problem. To keep your feet healthy, exercise or massage them to increase circulation. Pay attention to nutrition, too.

Maintaining good overall health helps your feet stay healthy along with the rest of you.

Another good idea is to moisturize your feet regularly so you don’t develop cracks and fissures in the skin. Not only are openings in the skin painful, they also make you more susceptible to viruses and bacteria that enter through breaks in the skin and cause infection.

Pay special attention to the heels, as these can get very dry. However, do not

and mannerly, but they appear to be socially immature. The time to have encouraged them to develop their individual personalities was when they entered their teens.

While it is normal for twins to share a special closeness, the fact they don’t socialize, don’t date and consider their contemporaries all to be morons is something to be worried about.

If you are going to contribute to their college educations, it might be helpful to insist they go to different schools. But before you do, consult a licensed counselor for guidance because it may be traumatic for them.

matters may not seem appropriate to you, that’s what some children in grammar school do. The problem, however, is a lot of misinformation can be transmitted among them. Be glad your daughter trusts you enough that she’s willing to tell you what is being said.

If this were my daughter and I had not yet had “the talk” with her, I would waste no time in initiating it. Her classmates might say some of the things they do for shock value and have no concept about the violence and physical and emotional damage a rapist can inflict.

Not only should you bring this to the attention of the parents of these classmates, also talk to the school principal. The best way to combat screwed-up thinking like this is through frank, open discussion and education.

Dear Abby: I have 18-year-old twin sons who are seniors in high school and more mature than most at their age. My husband and I raised them with responsibility and manners, and people comment on how well they behave.

My problem is neither one seems interested in socializing. They don’t date and never have friends over. They tell me people their age are “morons.”

The boys are very close. They still share a room, and want to attend college together and major in the same field. I’m worried they are too close and need to separate from each other and get out more. Should I be worried about this or wait and see what college brings them? –

Dear Abby: My DEAR ABBY daughter is in fifth grade at a Jeanne very small, rural Phillips school. She’s outgoing and makes friends easily. My problem is, when she comes home from school, she tells my husband and me about the conversations the other fifth-grade girls are having. Most of them involve boys.

However, recently the conversations are about sex and things these girls say they want boys to do to them, which include rape.

My husband and I are appalled. My daughter knows it’s not appropriate to discuss these topics, but she is forced by these girls to listen.

What should we do? Should we discuss this with the other parents involved? Please help. – Con-

Somerset Maugham claimed “You learn more quickly under the guidance of experienced teachers. You waste a lot of time going down blind alleys if you have no one to lead you.”

That must be true, but at the bridge table, when there is no one to guide you, do not be blind to the information available from the calls made and cards played.

In this deal, South is in three no-trump. West leads the heart six: eight, five (starting a high-low to show an even number), nine. How should declarer continue?

After South opens one no-trump, North should respond two hearts, a transfer bid indicating at least zero points and five spades. Then, North might rebid three no-trump, but that could work out very badly if South has weak hearts. So, North rebids three diamonds, which is natural and game-forcing.

South starts with seven top tricks: one spade, one heart (trick one), four diamonds and one club. He can get the extra winners from either black suit -- but on which should he play?

Let’s look at the first trick. East was playing third hand high, but didn’t beat dummy’s eight. Why not? Because he couldn’t. West has the heart ace-queen hovering over South’s king-jack. If East gets on lead, a heart return will kill the contract.

So, the spade finesse should not be taken. Instead, declarer should lead a low diamond to dummy’s nine and play a club to his 10 (allowing for East’s having the jack and king).

When the finesse wins, South returns to dummy with a diamond, takes a second club finesse, and here wins 11 tricks.
