A $3 million federal grant will help the Illinois Department of Transportation and other agencies develop plans to ease congestion and improve efficiency on several suburban rail lines, including the Heritage Corridor.

The grant was announced Friday by U.S. Rep. Dan Lipinski, D-Western Springs, U.S. Rep. Mike Quigley, D-Chicago, and U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill.

The $3 million grant will be matched by a coalition of IDOT, Metra, Amtrak, the Environment Protection Agency and city of Chicago for a total $6 million to develop a comprehensive plan aimed at reducing congestion and delays, boosting economic growth and improving the overall quality of life for riders.

It also will help with efforts to rehabilitate Chicago’s Union Station.

“The purpose of the studies are to come up with ways about how the flow of trains

can be improved,” Lipinski said, adding that the plans would also include freight lines.

Lipinski said the studies will focus on passengers riding the Heritage Corridor, Burlington Northern Sante Fe, Southwest Service and Rock Island Metra lines.

Lipinski is also working, through HR 1405, on reauthorizing the Rail Safety Technology Grant program, which is expiring at the end of fiscal 2015. It provides $200 million each year for positive train

Suspect in Coal City shooting freed on bail

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – A Romeoville man charged in a recent Coal City shooting was released from jail after a family member posted his $100,000 bail.

Walter L. Webster was being held on a $1 million bond, in which 10 percent, or $100,000 cash, was required for his release, according to court records. His bail was posted Thursday and he was released with an April 30 court date.

He was charged with two counts of attempted first-degree murder and one count of aggravated battery after authorities said he shot Adam Fierro, the

owner of Horse Shoe Transportation Company of Braidwood.

Authorities responded at 8:10 p.m. April 1 after numerous residents reported hearing shots fired near the Shell gas station at 725 E. Division St. in Coal City.

Fierro was found bleeding from gunshot wounds to his body after his vehicle struck an unoccupied vehicle at the Shell station. During an altercation, Fierro allegedly was shot at several times by Webster, who is an ex-employee at Horse Shoe, according to Coal City police.

Webster was accompanied when he turned himself in Wednesday by his legal coun-

sel, Chuck Bretz of Joliet, according to a news release from Coal City police. Investigator Jason Clark met with Webster at the jail, where he was read his rights.

Clark was advised by Bretz that Webster would not make any statements to law enforcement at the time.

If convicted on the attempted first-degree murder charge, Webster could be sentenced to a minimum of 31 years in jail, with a mandatory 85 percent of time served. For the count of aggravated battery, he could get six to 30 years, also with 85 percent mandatory time served, Grundy County State’s Attorney Jason Helland has said.

COVER STORY

By FELIX SARVER

fsarver@shawmedia.com NEW LENOX – Amanda Kovacic’s memory can astonish people.

When Kovacic, 21, of Frankfort was young, her grandfather was in the hospital and her mom left to check on him.

Kovacic was home with her dad and siblings when her brother began crying.

“My dad was like, ‘Why are you crying?’ and I said, ‘Maybe he wants 13-15-13,’ ” she remembered. “My dad was like, ‘13-15-13?’ I said ‘Mom.’ ” Kovacic can correlate numbers with the alphabet off the top of her head. It’s one of the many skills she uses throughout her day in the L.I.F.E. Transition Program at Lincoln-Way Central High School.

The program – like similar ones at high schools in Joliet, Plainfield and Lockport – helps students with special needs, like Kovacic, transition to life outside of school by developing social, vocational and daily living skills.

Transition programs connect students to community resources at an important time in their lives while they remain in high school, said Mary Harrison, Lincoln-Way special services director. The program exposes students to outside agencies such as Trinity Services and Cornerstone Inc. “Once [the students] are gone, they have to navigate those waters by themselves.

We’re here to help them,” she said.

BOTTOM RIGHT: Kovacic is part of the L.I.F.E. Transition Program at Lincoln-Way Central.

Developing skills

Following federal and state guidelines, students with special needs can remain in high school programs until they are 22. After that, they rely on social service agencies – such as Trinity, Cornerstone and the Will-Grundy Center for Independent Living – for employment and independent living.

Many educators running

transition programs say they are becoming more important for young people as funding declines for area social service agencies providing for the same needs.

The Lincoln-Way L.I.F.E

program has helped Kovacic learn life skills and gain vocational opportunities. She works for both the village of Manhattan and the Frankfort Chamber of Commerce, performing clerical duties. Her

mother, Char, said her daughter had a brain injury when she was young that led to a blood disorder, which affected her mental capacities.

“For us, [L.I.F.E] has been a godsend of a program,” Char

Kovacic said. “Amanda feels more confident, and she loves working and she loves being a productive member of society.”

Few decided Will County area elections “I take it personally. I care about the election.

I go on the radio. I talk to newspapers just so people know the importance of voting. ...

There’s no excuse.”

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The choice for Joliet’s next mayor was in the hands of 13,983 voters – in a city comprised of 148,000.

It’s a situation hardly unique to Joliet or to the region, with voter participation ranging from 11 to 18 percent across neighboring counties in the April 7 election. About 58,000 of Will County’s 393,000 registered voters cast a ballot in Tuesday’s election.

Unofficial results show the county had a disappointing 14.92 percent turnout – even with early voting options, extended hours, and a rising number of registered voters in Will County, Will County Clerk Nancy Schultz Voots said Thursday.

“I take it personally,” Schultz Voots said. “I care about the election. I go on the radio. I talk to newspapers just so people know the importance of voting. It was different years ago. Maybe they didn’t get the newspaper. Maybe they didn’t listen to the radio. Now we have websites. We have a voter information guide. There’s no excuse.”

Nancy Schultz Voots Will County clerk

Lathan Goumas – lgoumas@shawmedia.com

People vote Tuesday at Tezak’s Funeral Home in Joliet. Only about 15 percent of registered voters in Will County cast a ballot in this election. ballots still need to be counted, but Schultz Voots said there’s so few that she doesn’t expect it to significantly affect overall turnout. This year’s participation compares to the 18.9 percent turnout in the 2011 consolidated election and 18.2 percent in 2009.

Turnout varies among precincts

In Joliet’s mayoral election, City Councilman Bob O’Dekirk unseated Tom Giarrante after months of campaigning.

O’Dekirk ended up garnering 52 percent of the vote to Giarrante’s 39 percent. A third

challenger – Joliet Junior College Board President Andy Mihelich – received less than 9 percent.

Turnout for the mayoral race was as low as 0.6 percent at a polling place in Romeoville and as high as 49.5 percent in one Joliet precinct near Black

Road and Larkin Avenue.

John Sheridan, a facilitator with the Cunningham Neighborhood Council who campaigned for O’Dekirk, said the low turnout is an insult to the hard work put into the campaign. He said he and supporters walked precinct after precinct, passing out campaign literature and making issues known.

“It’s sad to see because everybody worked so hard. [Giarrante] worked hard, too,” Sheridan said. “The problem with today’s society is, until the knock is at your door, and it affects you personally, you

Joliet mayor-elect talks about taxes, crime and more

By BOB OKON bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Don’t expect a rollback in the city of Joliet’s sales and gasoline taxes any time soon, even though they were prime targets in Mayor-elect Bob O’Dekirk’s campaign.

In an interview last week after Tuesday’s election, O’Dekirk talked about city taxes, crime, economic development and other campaign issues that will need to addressed after he becomes mayor May 4.

O’Dekirk during the campaign put out a mailer with a “Bob O’Dekirk To Do List” that included rollbacks of 2012 in-

creases in the city’s gas, sales, phone and electricity taxes – all of which he attributed to outgoing Mayor Tom Giarrante.

The to-do list is scheduled for 2015 to 2019, which gives the new mayBob O’Dekirk or some time.

Another mailer simply read: “Roll back the Mayor Giarrante tax increases.”

O’Dekirk said last week that he does not know when or if the taxes can be rolled back.

“If we are running a surplus, I absolutely think that

should be considered,” he said.

O’Dekirk noted that Joliet is borrowing from its reserves to balance the 2015 budget and faces the prospect of declining revenue if Gov. Bruce Rauner is successful in reducing the share of state income tax that goes to local municipalities.

“There are too many unknowns right now to say I’m going to roll back taxes in three months,” he said.

Budget and development

O’Dekirk wants Joliet to hire a lobbyist to pursue new revenue that he believes the city should get in the form of state and federal grants.

He also is among those on the council who believe the city needs to hire an economic development professional that will travel around the country to bring new companies into Joliet.

O’Dekirk said he, too, will travel to generate economic development, which would lead to more revenue for city coffers.

“I plan on being aggressive in bringing business here,” he said.

Crime

O’Dekirk’s campaign included frequent counts of the number of homicides in Joliet

since Thanksgiving. Starting May 4, any homicide will happen on his watch.

He did not suggest any dramatic changes are in the works.

“I think Chief [Brian] Benton is doing a good job,” he said.

O’Dekirk, a former Joliet police officer, for years has said the city went too far in letting the police force numbers drop while dealing with budget problems. But now he is in a position to be more accountable for helping find a solution that will allow for more police without breaking the budget.

O’Dekirk said he believes

ROMEOVILLE

Summit shares strategies on stopping heroin abuse ROMEOVILLE – Jeff Coady believes treating heroin addiction is not enough to curtail its widespread use – a comprehensive public health approach is needed.

Coady, regional administrator for the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, was one of several experts called to the 2015 HERO HELPS Community Summit held Friday in Romeoville.

“Detox is not recovery.

That’s treating acute illness, not a patient,” Coady said during his presentation. “We want to be as comprehensive with our approach to treatment as possible.”

The summit was held in response to the growing heroin epidemic in Will County, statewide and across the nation.

Members of local heroin relief and education organizations, as well as legislators, health and criminal justice experts, came to discuss different approaches to reducing heroin abuse.

Will County State’s Attorney James Glasgow called heroin the “Ebola of drugs.” He said he had never seen such an epidemic during his 35 years in law enforcement.

“We’re not being vigilant enough,” he said.

Will County approach

Heroin overdoses were rare in Will County before 1999,

U.S. heroin and prescription overdose death rates Q Between 2010 and 2012, the overall heroin death rate across 28 states – including Illinois – doubled.

Q Increase in heroin death rates between 2010 and 2012 were associated with increased prescription opioid death rates.

Q Five states had increases in prescription opioid death rates, seven had decreases and 16 had no change.

but the Will County Coroner’s Office noted increases in heroin overdose deaths year after year, from 17 cases in 2008 to 29 in 2009. In 2012, the number of cases reached 53.

Will County formed the Heroin Education Leads to Preventative Solutions task force in response to provide community forums and educational initiatives for students and parents. The Will County Board last year also approved a countywide program to train police officers to administering the heroin overdose antidote known as Narcan.

Glasgow said he plans to contact a communications specialist to develop public service announcements about the heroin epidemic.

He said the Will County State’s Attorney’s Office has worked to deter drug sales by charging those who distribute

heroin that leads to overdose deaths with drug-induced homicide, a Class X felony that carries a prison sentence of six to 30 years.

“What we’re really trying to do is nail the dealers on this chain,” Glasgow said.

State approach

State Rep. Lou Lang, D-Skokie, shared with the audience Friday state legislators’ efforts to comprehensively resolve heroin and prescription drug abuse through the proposed Heroin Crisis Act, also known as House Bill 1.

The bill proposes creating a heroin and opiate drug prevention program for public schools statewide, as well as making the overdose antidote Narcan more widely available.

The bill also proposes preventing over-prescribing pain medication and reducing insurance claim denials for those who’ve been treated for substance abuse. That has been met with resistance from insurance and medical companies, Lang said.

He also said the bill would “change the dynamic” of drug courts by expanding them and allowing addicts more chances to succeed.

“It was not my goal to do something small, but to create a bill that was comprehensive in nature that covered all issues,” Lang said.

He said Gov. Bruce Rauner has not weighed in on the bill yet, but many of his staff have expressed concerns about its

National approach

Coady said communities nationwide should reduce drug abuse by establishing a network of resources and sharing data-driven information. Communities also should create a recovery-oriented system of care that not only addresses drug addiction, but mental and

social well-being.

He also advocated increasing access to Narcan and medication-assisted treatments.

“We don’t do this in isolation. We do this in collaboration – with public health, with public safety – so we really have a population-based approach looking at health and wellness of that community,” Coady said.

12 Divers kept busy on Des Plaines River

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Dive teams were called out for two unrelated incidents this weekend on the Des Plaines River.

A man jumped from the Cass Street Bridge on Friday evening and an empty car was discovered Saturday morning under the long span bridge on Brandon Road.

The first incident began shortly after 5 p.m. Friday when a witness reportedly saw a man clutching a Bible dive from the south side of the Cass Street Bridge.

Fire Battalion Chief Ron Fox, the fire department’s dive team leader, said police used surveillance video from Harrah’s Casino to confirm where the man went into the water.

“We went over quite an area, but suspended the search about 8:20 p.m. because of darkness and the roaring current the river has from the weather over the last few days,” Fox said Friday night.

Assistant Dive Team Lead-

er John Stachelski said divers would not search again Saturday, but on-duty crews would go through the area near the bridge using a boat in the morning and the evening.

Joliet police had no missing person reports filed in connection with the incident as of Saturday afternoon.

About 8 a.m. Saturday, a passing driver noticed a car in the water just north of the railroad tracks on Brandon Road and called 911.

East Joliet Fire Chief Robert Scholtes said firefighters did not find anyone inside the vehicle.

“It was in about 3 feet of water and did not appear to have driven off the bridge,” Will County Sheriff Deputy Chief Tom Budde said Saturday morning. Budde noted there is an embankment accessible from the railroad crossing that a vehicle could use to reach the water.

Budde said the car is registered to a Plainfield woman, but deputies had not made contact with her as of Saturday afternoon. It was not reported stolen.

Scholtes said a tow company removed the car from the water about 10:30 a.m.

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com HOMER GLEN – Police say an employee stole more than $8,000 in merchandise from Home Depot last month.

Will County Sheriff’s spokeswoman Kathy Hoffmeyer said store security Hector Ibarra contacted police April 3 after an internal investigation concerning Hector Ibarra, 40.

Between Feb. 27 and April

2, Ibarra allegedly committed 14 thefts totaling $8,532, Hoffmeyer said. The items taken included toilet paper, light fixtures and pressure washers.

Ibarra has been employed

by Home Depot since 2006 and was running a cash register there, according to Hoffmeyer.

Ibarra, of the 14200 block of Kensington Court in Lockport, was brought in for questioning by detectives Wednesday. He was booked into the Will County Jail on 14 counts of shoplifting and released the next day after posting a $30,000 bond.

Peotone man killed in motorcycle crash

PEOTONE TOWNSHIP – A motorcycle rider died early Friday evening when he was struck by a pickup truck.

The Will County Coroner’s office reported Thomas J. Keenan, 53, of Peotone was pronounced dead at 5 p.m. on Wilmington-Peotone Road near 128th Avenue.

An autopsy was performed Saturday.

Will County Sheriff’s police said Saturday the driver of the pickup was not cited, but the crash remains under investigation.

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Darel C. Agerton’s freedom lasted about 36 hours the last time he got out of prison.

He won’t have any more until 2052.

Agerton, 41, was sentenced Friday to 40 years in prison after pleading guilty to murdering his 90-year-old grandmother during an argument in November 2012.

Agerton did not address the court other than to say “Yes, sir” and “No, sir” when Judge Daniel Rozak asked if he understood the proceedings or had any questions.

Agerton accepted a plea deal last month days before he was scheduled to face trial. He could have been sentenced to up to 60 years behind bars.

On Nov. 29, 2012, Agerton

was paroled from the Jacksonville Correctional Center after serving half of a three-year sentence for aggravated driving under the influence of alcohol and driving on a suspended license in 2010 and 2011.

He’d arrived in Joliet by train and spent the Darel C. night in his old Agerton bedroom at his grandmother’s house, according to investigators. Veronica Schick was a mechanic in World War II with the Women’s Army Corps, serving with a motor pool in the Pacific Theater. Later, she worked at Argonne National Laboratory from 1978 to 1986.

Schick allowed Agerton to live with her while he was out on parole at her house in the 100 block of Jessie Street in Jo-

Agerton claimed he found Schick at the foot of the basement stairs and believed she’d fallen, but later told Will County Sheriff’s police she’d accidentally slipped while they argued.

An autopsy showed Schick died from blunt force injuries “that could not have come from a fall,” and also was strangled, according to court records.

Agerton will receive credit for the time he has served in jail since Schick’s death, but must serve his complete sentence. He also was fined $722 in court costs.

Revenue down again at two Joliet casinos

By LAUREN LEONE-CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Revenue and admissions were down at Joliet’s two casinos last month compared to March 2014, according to the latest figures from the Illinois Gaming Board.

Numbers released Friday show Harrah’s Casino brought in about $16.8 million in March, down from $18.8 million in March 2014, which represents a 10.8 percent drop.

Hollywood Casino in Joliet brought in about $10.8 million, down from $11.1 million last year, which represents a 2.4 percent decrease.

Harrah’s Casino brought in about $974,000 in tax revenue for the city of Joliet last month. Hollywood’s Casino brought in about $637,000. The state’s 10 casinos brought in a collective $7.6 million to local municipalities.

In terms of revenue statewide, Harrah’s Casino in Joliet came in second, but remained far behind Rivers Casino’s $38 million.

The Grand Victoria casino in Elgin came in third, while Hollywood’s Casino in Aurora came in fourth.

Joliet’s Hollywood Casino ranked fifth.

All of the state’s 10 casinos – even the usual money-maker Rivers Casinos in Des Plaines – saw declines in admissions and revenue compared to March 2014.

Illinois casinos brought in about $129.9 million, down from the $138.7 million generated in March 2014.

When comparing March to February of this year, each of the state’s 10 casinos saw increases in revenue and admissions – a common trend that happens this time of year because of the warm weather.

Donations sought at Joliet mall for tornado victims THE HERALD–NEWS JOLIET – Louis Joliet Mall and the American Red Cross of Greater Chicago will collect donations Sunday to help people affected by Midwest tornadoes.

Volunteers will collect cash donations at Louis Joliet Mall, 3340 Mall Loop Drive in Joliet, during a Plainfield High School Jazz concert at the Dig-

ital Tree near Carson’s Court, scheduled to begin at 1 p.m., according to a news release.

Donations will be used by the American Red Cross of Greater Chicago to help those in need. In addition, 10 percent of food sales made between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. at participating restaurants, including TGI Friday’s, will be donated toward disaster relief, according to the release.

Keane had people with wood, carpeting and Styrofoam go to one lane, electronics to another and hazardous materials to a separate section, where workers wore protective suits and goggles.

The event also accepted scrap metal, prescription medication, paint, chemicals and American flags for recycling and disposal.

Vern Jordan of Joliet learned about the event from The Herald-News. After his larger items were unloaded, Jordan separated some old video game controllers from foam padding.

“This has to be done to take care of the environment,” he said. “And it’s been years since I used these, so it’s a good spring cleaning for people at the same time.”

JOLIET – Last year about 700 residents dropped off old electronics and hazardous materials for Recyclepalooza at Joliet Junior College.

On Saturday, about 700 cars went through in the event’s first hour – with six more to go.

“This is insane. I can’t even estimate how many [participants] we’ve seen already.

There was a risk of being overwhelmed,” said Marta Keane, recycling program specialist and green business relations coordinator for the Resource Recovery & Energy Division.

Vehicles were lined up in one parking lot before being directed to another, where recyclables were unloaded onto pallets and semitrailers at various stations. As of noon Saturday, vehicles stretched

a U.S. Senate seat in 2016 THE HERALD-NEWS

U.S. Rep. Bill Foster won’t throw his hat into the ring for Republican incumbent U.S. Sen. Mark Kirk’s seat in 2016.

Instead, he will throw his support behind U.S. Rep. Tammy Duckworth, Foster announced Friday.

“After careful thought and consideration, I have decided to avoid what would be a costly and, ultimately unnecessary, primary. I will not be running Bill Foster for the United States Senate,” Foster stated in a news release. “Millions upon millions of special interest dollars will flood our state in support of Mark Kirk. The resources on the Democratic side should be focused on winning that seat back for the people of Illinois, not on Democrats fighting one another.”

The announcement comes

just weeks after Foster announced he was giving serious consideration to running for Kirk’s seat.

Foster said it was a difficult decision but was made “much easier by the fact that we have such a terrific candidate in Tammy Duckworth. I am announcing my support for Tammy today because she has proven time and again – on the battlefield and in the halls of Congress – the she is dedicated to serving our country, and in particular the people of the great state of Illinois.”

Foster will actively work to help Duckworth in her campaign, serving as a co-chair of her finance committee.

“Bill Foster is a scientist and a businessman, and has a reputation in Congress for digging deep into data before passing judgment on issues that effect Illinois families,” Duckworth stated in the news release. “When Bill Foster speaks, you know that facts are on his side. That stands in contrast to Senator Kirk, who seems to talk first and worry about the facts later.”

Minooka, S.C. are potential locations

percent of workers from the taxing district and having a development worth at least $500,000.

Taxes collected on the property for 2013 were $1,445.

The estimated taxes at the end of abatement would be between $650,000 and $800,000, pending final building design and assessment.

Hansen presented the phase 2 project to the committee, explaining what Grainger does in the existing building and what it plans to do with the new building.

“We have 26 locations in Illinois, with Minooka being the largest,” he said. “We are a fulfillment center that employs 457 people, with 98 from

Grundy County.”

He told the board the large number of employees not from the county were mainly transferred from the company’s Niles location when the facility moved to Minooka.

The new building will be between 1 million to 1.3 million square feet and will add at least 130 local employees.

He said the company has existing constraints within its four walls, making the expansion necessary for company growth.

The project has a proposed capital investment of $50 million, and has a targeted commencement date of 2016, with completion and the start of operations targeted for 2018.

Ammer said Thursday that Minooka Road is developing with good companies and the addition of a second Grainger building would give a boost to the region.

“It not only adds to the tax base, but the people who are employed there are the people buying homes in our county, shopping in our county, and stopping at gas stations on their way to and from work,” Ammer said.

Other taxing bodies – including the Minooka grade school district, the village of Minooka and the Minooka Fire Protection District – were on hand at the meeting and said they support the incentive.

MINOOKA – Grainger is looking to expand its company, and its Minooka location is one of the prospect locations for expansion.

Nancy Ammer, CEO with the Grundy Economic Development Council, said staff have met with Grainger to see the expansion plan. She is excited at the idea of the company expanding in Minooka.

“Grainger is at the top.

They pay the best wages by far and have the best benefits on the Minooka Road corridor,” Ammer told the Grundy County Board’s Economic Development Committee on Wednesday.

According to Donald Hansen, director of real estate and development for Grainger, the Minooka location is competing with a proposed expansion in South Carolina. Hansen attended the committee meeting.

Grainger seeks a four-year, 50 percent tax rebate incentive for the proposed 1 million-square-foot expansion.

The committee approved a recommendation in favor of the rebate for the full Grundy County Board to consider this week.

The property Grainger owns is located within a Grundy County Economic Development Project Area boundary on 52 acres Grainger bought

from Liberty Property Trust.

It is next to the Minooka Road facility.

The rebate acts as an incentive to encourage companies to build within Grundy County. The rebate – in conjunction with other tools – also lessens the impact of the county’s machinery and equipment tax, which taxes machinery as real property.

The state’s other 101 counties classify machinery as personal property, which is not taxed in Illinois.

The rebate is offered to companies starting a new project or expanding existing businesses.

Eligible companies can receive an abatement on their property taxes of up to 50 percent for three to five years.

Agreements are negotiated with the company, which can include a three-year rebate that has a 75 percent rebate the first year, 50 percent the second year and 25 percent the third year, or in Grainger’s instance, a four-year, 50 percent rebate each year.

Ammer said the offer to companies is based on each one’s score, which the GEDC figures using information such as quantity of jobs, quality of jobs, community investment, health insurance, and whether they own the property, among other items.

To qualify for a rebate, the company must submit an application and meet a long list of criteria. Requirements for the tax rebate program include hiring at least 50

Voter turnout was lower this year than in previous local elections • TURNOUT

Continued from page 4 wear blinders.”

The day after Tuesday’s election, Sheridan said he posted on Facebook a note that he would work with the City Council to pass an ordinance that taxes all non-voters in the city. And that tax would pay for all the wish-list projects voters want to see happen in Joliet.

“Now, that was a joke,” Sheridan said. “But let’s face it. We can’t make it any easier. There’s absentee voting.

There’s in-person voting. We need to think outside the box.”

He said he believes the Rialto marquee controversy helped motivate the few people who made it to the polls.

“The Rialto group probably influenced the outcome,” he said. “They were anti-Giarrante.”

Elsewhere in the county, towns with contested races or key referendums – such as in Homer Glen and Shorewood – drew more attention.

Just 233 votes separated 2,563 Shorewood voters over a referendum determining whether the village should receive home rule powers.

Unofficial vote tallies show that 1,398 voted in favor of the referendum, while 1,165 voted against. The vote allows the village to gain home rule taxing authority if the results

hold up, allowing it to replace a 1 percent non-home rule sales tax with a 1.75 percent home rule sales tax, generating about $1.5 million annually in revenue.

Turnout fared better than usual in Homer Glen’s contested race for mayor, village clerk and trustees. Participation averaged about 30 percent, giving mayor-elect George Yukich, who began as a write-in candidate in the February primary after being kicked off the ballot, an edge over incumbent Jim Daley Jr.

Greatest influence on tax dollars

Voter apathy is a complex issue, said Warren Dorris, a prominent African-American pastor and Giarrante supporter who unsuccessfully ran for mayor in 2011.

Turnout was abysmally low on the city’s East Side, where neighborhoods are predominantly made up of low-income households, he said. But certain pockets fared well in Joliet City Council District 4, he said, where Councilwoman Bettye Gavin won by a 36-vote margin.

With a spike in gang violence since the holiday season, Dorris said he’s saddened more people didn’t turn out to the polls.

“I think people are lazy. If they could recognize that they can have more of an impact on

community by voting like they do in the presidential election, they would realize they could control every election,” Dorris said. “But for some reason, when it comes to voting in local elections, people just don’t have interest.”

Local elections, by far, have the greatest influence on property tax bills, policies regarding education, and offerings at park districts, public works, and police and fire services, yet people sit on the sidelines year after year, Dorris said.

Dorris pointed to his time as a Joliet City Council member as an example.

“When I was on the City Council, on a Tuesday night we could pass an ordinance if we could get the majority of nine people and it would go into effect tomorrow,” he said. “[In the U.S. House of Representatives] you’ve got 435 people and nothing ever gets done.”

Voter turnout was lower this year than in previous local election years – yet more people in Will County were registered to vote. About 393,000 people were registered in this election, compared to the 388,057 people registered during the hotly contested governor’s race in November.

It’s unclear where things fall apart, Dorris said. Residents are willing to register, but only a few follow through all the way to the polls.

At day’s end he returned to the Finca’s 9,000 books, comfortable chairs and good reading light. His trophies from Africa were mounted throughout the house.

Mayor-elect O’Dekirk to start with appointments • JOLIET ISSUES

We could make that more representative of the city of Joliet.”

Bob O’Dekirk Joliet mayor-elect

African-American Clergy Coalition, which has called for a city workforce that reflects Joliet’s diverse population.

The next mayor said he will start with appointments to city boards and commissions.

“There are individuals I would like to see on the police and fire board,” he said. “We could make that more representative of the city of Joliet.”

African-American contractors also have pushed the city to create bidding rules that would allow them greater participation on city contracts.

O’Dekirk, like others, said he favors more minority participation but is wary of rules that would give out-of-town minority contractors preference over local contractors.

Forked Creek Preserve greenery gets donation THE HERALD-NEWS A $266,400 donation from Enbridge Energy to Friends of the Forest Preserve District of Will County will buy trees, tree and shrub groupings and seeds for Forked Creek Preserve.

Enbridge provided the donation to the forest preserve district’s nonprofit foundation during the April 9 Forest Preserve District Board meeting, according to a news release.

The greenery will go toward a restoration project at the district’s 790-acre Forked Creek Preserve, located in Florence and Wesley townships and a portion of Wilmington.

The project will restore a 24-acre wooded corridor and an 18-acre buffer site, benefit-

ing bats, migratory birds and other wildlife, according to the news release.

The donation is the largest to the district’s foundation to date, according to the Forest Preserve District.

John Gauderman, director of Enbridge’s Chicago region operations, said in the news release the company’s partnership with the district and its foundation “provides us another opportunity to demonstrate our ongoing commitment to the communities where we operate and the environment.”

Past donations from Enbridge have bought signs for Isle a la Cache Museum, Centennial and Veterans Memorial trails, and land restoration and tree planting at O’Hara Woods.

Government contractor signs lease for space in Romeoville

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com ROMEOVILLE – The equipment that drives the U.S. Postal Service’s operations will be housed in Romeoville after a government contractor signed a lease for a 723,291-square-foot industrial space.

“This is a major hub for backbone services for the postal service,” said Romeoville Mayor John Noak, adding that firm PAE also will bring 130 new jobs.

The owner of the “class A” space at 1070 Windham Parkway, Liberty Property Trust, announced the lease signing Friday in a news release.

The building, called Liberty Business Center Windham, was a distribution center for Home Depot.

It contains 150 loading docs, a 30-foot clearing height and auto and trailer parking, the release states.

PAE is a government services firm that supports the postal service and other federal clients, according to the news release. It provides services for infrastructure,

aviation, logistics, training, range operations and national security solutions.

“The I-55 sub-market has seen a significant upswing in demand this year after a rather turbulent 2014, which has left very little inventory for large blocks of class ‘A’ space,” Liberty Vice President Neal Driscoll said, adding that a lack of developable land in the Interstate 55 corridor likely will push development closer to the I-55 and I-80 interchange.

Noak said Romeoville has some of the few spots of developable industrial land left in the area. He said the village also is looking at sites that have been potentially underutilized, such as the old construction yard at Joliet Road and Route 53.

The improving economy also has started pushing developers to look at improving lands that were not enticing during the recession.

“We’re seeing pre-recession levels for industrial development,” Noak said. “And the quality of the businesses and jobs have increased.”

Lincoln-Way’s transition program has been criticized • L.I.F.E.

Continued from page 3 Building on talents

Harrison said students in the program, such as Kovacic, have talents that teachers try to develop. In Kovacic’s case, Harrison said she has good social skills.

“In addition to developing those people skills, which is strong for her, we ask, ‘How can we expand on that?’ ” Harrison said.

Students in transition programs at Joliet Township High School District 204 and Lockport Township High School District 205 also work on developing independent living and vocational skills. The Joliet transition program is located on the city’s East side, close to many agencies that also can help students. “[The transition program] is for those who are not going to be college-bound but will need a little help,” said Becky Kemp, Joliet high school transition program coordinator.

“Some students are capable of having jobs, but it’s difficult with seeking out jobs and interviewing. Our ultimate goal is independence.”

Lockport high school’s program is tailored to meet the needs of students with disabilities, since they have a wide variety, said Angela Huntington, Lockport high school special education director. “[Employers] are hesitant to hire, but our program has made a tremendous job connecting with the community … and having them learn about our community,” she said.

More reliance on transition programs

Enrollment for Lincoln-Way’s transition program fluctuates. But officials expect enrollment at Lockport and Joliet high school’s transition programs to increase next school year. Huntington said she believes enrollment is rising because more parents are recognizing these services are available.

She also believes parents

Lincoln-Way’s transition program, which began this year, became sustainable enough for Lincoln-Way that officials plan to move some students from its Frankfort-based Transition House to Central High School next

school year. The program was operated under Special Education District 843.

The move was met with criticism in February, with one parent saying housing the program at Lincoln-Way Central would lead to overcrowding and an imbalanced student-teacher ratio. Harrison has said the classrooms will not be crowded and student

Kovacic will be a part of the Lincoln-Way program for two years. This school year is her first. When she leaves, she said she wants to work at a buffet restaurant and be a server. She likes that the job is busy and social.

Char Kovacic has watched her daughter gain more independence under the transition program, and she’s impressed Kovacic has two paying jobs.

“I have seen her blossom and grow just her one-year time being in this program,” she said.

Settlement possible in Daley’s nephew’s case

CHICAGO – The city of Chicago is considering paying out $250,000 to settle a lawsuit accusing police and prosecutors of a cover-up in the death of a man after he got in a fight with a nephew of then-Mayor Richard M. Daley.

The city’s Finance Committee will discuss the proposed settlement at its monthly meeting on Monday. It would still need approval from the full City Council.

Nanci Koschman filed the lawsuit in March of last year.

It accuses police of concealing information and creating false evidence to protect Daley’s nephew, Richard Vanecko.

Vanecko pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter in the 2004 death of David Koschman and served a 60-day jail sentence. He also was ordered to pay $20,000 in restitution.

Vanecko’s plea came after a special prosecutor reopened the case following an investigation by the Chicago Sun-Times.

Dad who abandoned wandering girl waives extradition

CHICAGO – Authorities said the father of a 3-year-old girl found alone near a suburban Chicago forest preserve has waived extradition and will be returned to Illinois to face aggravated kidnapping charges.

Thirty-five-year-old Faiz Ikramulla was charged Thursday and is jailed in Van Buren County, Michigan.

Department of Children and Family Services spokesman Andrew Flach said an initial investigation found the girl’s father put her in a trash can and drove away. She was found near the forest preserve in Prospect Heights Avenue, crying.

The Cook County Sheriff’s Office said the girl was identified after investigators learned her mother was in the process of filing missing person reports.

Historic meeting: Obama, Castro vow to turn the page

By JOSH LEDERMAN and JIM KUHNHENN The Associated Press PANAMA CITY – President Barack Obama and Cuba’s Raul Castro sat down together Saturday in the first formal meeting of the two country’s leaders in a half-century, pledging to reach for the kind of peaceful relationship that has eluded their nations for generations.

In a small conference room in a Panama City convention center, the two sat side by side in a bid to inject fresh momentum into their months-old effort to restore diplomatic ties. Reflecting on the historic nature of the meeting, Obama said he felt it was time to try something new and to engage with both Cuba’s government and its people.

“What we have both concluded is that we can disagree with a spirit of respect and civility,” Obama said. “And over time, it is possible for us to turn the page and develop a new relationship between our two countries.”

Castro, for his part, said he agreed with everything Obama had said – a stunning statement in and of itself for the Cuban leader. But he added the caveat that they had “agreed to disagee” at times. Castro said he had told the Americans that Cuba was willing to discuss issues such as human rights and freedom of the press, maintaining that “everything can be on the table.”

“We are disposed to talk about everything – with patience,” Castro said in Spanish. “Some things we will agree with, and others we won’t.”

Not since 1958 have a U.S. and Cuban leader convened a substantial meeting; at the time, Dwight Eisenhower was in the White House and Fulgencio Batista in charge in Cuba. But relations quickly entered into a deep freeze

U.S. President Barack Obama (right) shakes hands with Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos during their bilateral meeting Saturday at the Summit of the Americas in Panama City. amid the Cold War, and the U.S. spent decades trying to either isolate or actively overthrow the Cuban government.

In a stroke of coincidence, Eisenhower’s meeting with Batista in 1958 also took place in Panama, imbuing Saturday’s session between Obama and Castro with a sense of having come full circle.

The historic gathering played out on the sidelines of the Summit of the Americas, which this year included Cuba for the first time.

Although the meeting wasn’t publicly announced in advance, White House aides had suggested the two leaders were looking for an opportunity to meet while in Panama and to discuss the ongoing efforts to open embassies in Havana and Washington, among other issues.

At the start of their hourlong meeting, Obama acknowledged that Cuba, too, would continue raising concerns about U.S. policies – earning a friendly smirk from Castro. Obama described the sit-down later as “candid and fruitful” and said he and Castro were able to speak about their differences in a productive way.

Even still, raw passions were on vivid display earlier in the day when Castro, in a meandering, nearly hour-

long speech to the summit, ran through an exhaustive history of perceived Cuban grievances against the U.S. dating back more than a century.

Then, in an abrupt about face, he apologized for letting his emotions get the best of him. He said many U.S. presidents were at fault for that troubled history – but that Obama isn’t one of them.

“I have told President Obama that I get very emotional talking about the revolution,” Castro said through a translator, noting that Obama wasn’t even born when the U.S. began sanctioning the island nation.

“I apologize to him because President Obama had no responsibility for this.”

Obama agreed.

“The Cold War has been over for a long time,” he said.

“And I’m not interested in having battles frankly that started before I was born.”

The flurry of diplomacy kicked off Wednesday when Obama and Castro spoke by phone – only the second known call between U.S. and Cuban presidents in decades.

It continued Friday evening when Obama and Castro traded handshakes and small talk at the summit’s opening ceremonies, setting social media abuzz with photos and cellphone video.

Judy Scott (center) is escorted Saturday for the funeral of her son, Walter Scott, at W.O.R.D. Ministries Christian Center in Summerville, S.C. Scott was killed April 4 by a North Charleston police officer after a traffic stop. The officer, Michael Thomas Slager, has been charged with murder.

About 200 more people waited outside beneath the portico of the church or under umbrellas in the rain because the sanctuary had reached capacity.

Hamilton called Michael Slager – the officer involved in the shooting who was fired and charged with murder – a disgrace to the North Charleston Police Department.

“This particular cop was a racist. You don’t Tase a man and then shoot,” the minister said. But he added “we will not

indict the entire law enforcement community for the act of one racist.”

Hamilton said the Scott family could take comfort in the fact that Slager was captured on the video, was charged and will face justice.

Scott was remembered as a gentle soul and a born-again Christian.

“He was not perfect,” the minister said, adding that nobody is.

The two-hour service included spirituals and remem-

brances of the 50-year-old Scott.

Those who waited outside were able to enter at the end of the service and file by Scott’s open casket covered in an American flag and surrounded with sprays of flowers.

Scott’s family arrived in a fleet of three black limousines followed by several other vehicles. Dozens who were waiting outside held up their cellphones trying to capture the scene as Scott’s casket was unloaded from the hearse and wheeled inside.

Break over, Congress faces fights over Medicare, Iran, Lynch

By ALAN FRAM The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Racing the calendar, Senate leaders are pushing toward congressional approval of a bipartisan compromise that reshapes how Medicare pays physicians as lawmakers return from a spring break tangled up in domestic and foreign policy disputes.

Republican and Democratic senators are trying to influence an emerging nuclear deal with Iran, and there’s a fight over abortion. Also, President Barack Obama is awaiting Senate action on his long-delayed nomination of federal prosecutor Loretta Lynch to become attorney general.

For Senate Democrats, the two-week break proved tumultuous.

Minority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., announced he will not run for re-election in 2016. Reid anointed Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., to succeed him, creating uncertainty over the rest of their leadership posts.

New Jersey Sen. Bob Menendez was indicted on federal corruption charges and relinquished his job as top Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, just as it plays a pivotal role on Iran.

The Medicare doctors’ legislation presents Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., with his most pressing problem. The $214 billion package permanently would retool

how Medicare reimburses physicians, and it also would provide money for children’s health, community health centers, low-income patients and rural hospitals.

The normally divided House rallied behind the measure last month with a 392-37 vote. Eager to signal that Republicans now running the Senate can do so effectively, McConnell said the bill would be handled “very quickly” when lawmakers return and he envisioned passage “by a very large majority.”

The measure would block a 21 percent cut in physicians’ Medicare reimbursements that technically took effect April 1.

By law, the federal agency that writes those checks can’t do so until 14 days after it receives a

claim, and it plans to start making payments at the lower rate on Wednesday.

The federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services makes about 4 million Medicare payments to doctors daily.

The Senate returns to work Monday, which gives leaders two days to finish the bill or risk fielding complaints from physicians and seniors. Doctors say payment cuts make them less likely to treat patients of Medicare, which helps the elderly pay medical bills.

McConnell’s biggest problem is that senators from both parties are clamoring to amend the legislation, which was a rare compromise between House Speaker John Boehner,

R-Ohio, and House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi of California.

Congressional aides and lobbyists say conservatives, including GOP Sens. Jeff Sessions of Alabama, Ben Sasse of Nebraska, and Mike Lee of Utah, want to require savings so the measure will not add a projected $141 billion to federal deficits over the coming decade.

Democrats, including Sen. Ron Wyden of Oregon, want to expand the bill’s two years of extra money for the Children’s Health Insurance Program to four years and offer other amendments, though Wyden said Thursday he would support the measure without changes.

SUMMERVILLE, S.C. – The death of a black man shot in the back while fleeing a white police officer was the act of a racist cop, a minister told hundreds who gathered Saturday for the funeral of Walter Scott.

“All of us have seen the video,” the Rev. George Hamilton, the minister at W.O.R.D. Ministries Christian Center, told an overflow congregation.

“There is no doubt in my mind and I feel that Walter’s death was motivated by racial prejudice.”

Authorities have not said whether race was a factor in the shooting.

Scott was a father of four and Coast Guard veteran whose death sparked outrage as another instance of a white law officer fatally shooting an unarmed black man under questionable circumstances.

The shooting last weekend in North Charleston was captured on a dramatic cellphone camera video by a man who was walking past.

About 450 people, including U.S. Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., and U.S. Rep. Jim Clyburn, D-S.C., the two black members of South Carolina’s congressional delegation, gathered in the sanctuary of the church where Scott had worshipped.

“You know, Walter touched a lot of people. He was very friendly with everyone. I don’t think he ever met an enemy.

So, there’s a lot of people out here, just paying their respects to him and his legacy,” said Tyrone Johnson, a Charlotte, North Carolina, resident who was waiting before the service.

He said he went to high school with Scott and one of his brothers.

After the funeral, Scott family attorney Chris Stewart said the pain behind this shooting would have hurt any color family.

“The epidemic of powerless people being taken advantage of no matter what color, no matter what gender, no matter what belief system you have, needs to stop,” he said.

“We’re not going to let this case boil down to just racial issues because it’s bigger than that,” Stewart said. “It’s a human issue.”

Police initially said Scott was shot April 4 during a tussle over Slager’s department-issued Taser. But the video taken by the bystander and released last Tuesday showed Slager firing eight times as Scott ran away.

Scott was driving a 1991 Mercedes he bought from a neighbor and was headed to an auto parts store when he was stopped, his brother Rodney Scott said.

Former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley speaks to local residents Thursday during a fundraiser for Rep. Scott Ourth, D-Ackworth, in Indianola, Iowa.

Potential Dem rivals to Clinton plug away in Iowa

By THOMAS BEAUMONT and CATHERINE LUCEY The Associated Press DES MOINES, Iowa – The Hillary Rodham Clinton juggernaut is coming to Iowa.

Martin O’Malley already has beaten her to the early-voting state.

The former Maryland governor was in a Des Moines tavern this past week, playing guitar and singing Irish folk tunes. He had a lunch with Democratic activists in the college town of Ames, and spent Friday night talking up his populist economic message at a party banquet in the capital.

For months, O’Malley has largely had Iowa to himself as Clinton slow-played her entry into the 2016 race for race.

O’Malley’s Iowa advantage, if there was one at all, should be coming to an end Sunday when Clinton planned to make her much-anticipated announcement that she’s running for the nomination for a second time. Clinton fell short in 2008 against Barack Obama.

A trip to Iowa is expected to follow soon afterward.

“I think the people of Iowa wake up every morning looking toward the future, and they believe inherently that we’re served by new leadership,” O’Malley said Friday night in Des Moines.

Technically, Clinton would be the first Democrat to enter the race. Others, including Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont, former Sen. Jim Webb of Virginia and former Gov. Lincoln Chafee of Rhode Island, are exploring whether to run.

O’Malley has done the most as a potential Clinton challenger. He has reached out to Iowa for the past three years, first meeting with the Iowa delegation at the Democratic National Convention in 2012 before speaking at then-Sen. Tom Harkin’s annual picnic fundraiser that fall.

In his last Iowa appearance before Clinton’s expected entry, O’Malley called for renewing the American dream on time-tested Democratic principles.

“To make the dream come true again, we must fight for better wages for all workers, so that Americans can support their families on what they earn,” O’Malley said at a party dinner Friday night in Des Moines.

For the most part, he has steered clear of publicly criticizing Clinton. He has focused on the long, disciplined march of a serious candidate who knows he is an underdog.

O’Malley has visited Iowa six times since the start of last year. He put 14 staffers to work on Iowa campaigns during last year’s election and has hired one for his potential campaign.

“The great thing about Iowa and New Hampshire is that people insist on meeting all of the candidates before they make a decision,” O’Malley said.

That’s not just O’Malley’s line, either.

Even with Clinton in the race, many of the party loyalists who will brave a winter night in Iowa in February to choose a candidate at caucus sites say they want a contest, not a coronation.

Buchenwald survivor Henry Oster (center right) and veteran United States medic James E. Anderson (center) who was with the U.S. liberation troops, lay down flowers Saturday with other veterans before a minute of silence at 3:15 p.m. to mark the 70th anniversary of the liberation of the former Nazi concentration camp Buchenwald near in Weimar, Germany.

By DOROTHEE THIESING The Associated Press WEIMAR, Germany – Buchenwald survivor Henry Oster recalls thinking that a fellow inmate had “lost his sense of reality” when he said 70 years ago Saturday that the concentration camp was being liberated, bringing an end to the long ordeal of the 21,000 surviving prisoners.

Oster, 86, visited the site near the German city of Weimar for the first time since its liberation on April 11, 1945 – one of a group of survivors and veterans who came to mark the anniversary of the liberation. Buchenwald was the first major concentration camp entered by American forces at the end of World War II. “What I see here, where the barracks used to be, at every barrack there was a pile of dead bodies, this is in your memory forever,” Oster said. “When someone asks how Buchenwald was, you immediately see the dead bodies again.”

Around 250,000 prisoners in total were held at Buchenwald from its opening in July 1937 to its liberation. An estimated 56,000 people were killed, including political prisoners, people dubbed “asocial” by the Nazis, Soviet prisoners of war, Sinti and Roma, and approximately 11,000 Jews.

Oster, a Jewish German born in Cologne, was taken to the Lodz ghetto in occupied Poland in 1941 and later to the Aus-

chwitz-Birkenau death camp.

His father died of starvation and his mother was gassed on the day they arrived at Auschwitz, he said.

In January 1945, Oster was sent on a “death march” to Buchenwald as the Nazis forced inmates westward in the face of advancing Soviet forces.

Entering the former camp through the wrought-iron gate that bears the words “Jedem das Seine” – “To each his own” – with its clock stopped at 3:15, the time of the liberation, Oster recalled that moment.

“We had no idea the Allies were in Europe, and when we heard noises at about a quarter past three, we looked out of the window – which took a great effort – and one of my friends said with a weak voice ‘I think we are getting liberated,’” Oster said. “And we thought he had lost his sense of reality like so many people there.”

Oster was taken to an orphanage in France and emigrated to the United States in 1946.

He now lives in Woodland Hills, California.

A minute of silence was held Saturday afternoon at the tree-ringed hilltop site’s former assembly ground, bringing together former inmates and liberators – on whom Buchenwald also left an indelible impression.

James Anderson, a 91-yearold from Indianapolis, went in as an army medic on that day and recalled that many prisoners were so weak they could no longer move.

Shake it up, and go with AT&T Dear Mr. Berko: I don’t want to miss out on the next Chipotle or Panera Bread. So I decided to buy 500 shares of Shake Shack in my individual retirement account at $51 right after it came public at $21 in January. Its restaurants make great cheeseburgers, great fries and great milkshakes.

Several times, my wife and I have had dinner at a Shake Shack that is close to where our grandchildren live in Chicago. Shake Shack also sells beer and wine, which are extremely profitable, and I really thought that this would separate it from McDonald’s, Burger King, Sonic, Checkers and others and that the stock would take off.

It went up to $52 after I bought it, but now it looks as if it’s stuck at this level. All my other IRA investments have good earnings and pay good dividends, but this one doesn’t, which is why my broker didn’t want me to buy the stock.

Now she is advising me to sell Shake Shack and take a small loss because she thinks it’s as high as it can go. Then she wants me to use that cash to buy 600 shares of AT&T. She had me buy 400 shares of

TAKING STOCK Malcolm Berko it last summer at $35.

What is your opinion?

This investment represents about 5 percent of my IRA. –

CL, Chicago Dear CL: I like your broker.

In fact, I like her a lot. Buy her a Kate Spade purse.

In late January of this year, J.P. Morgan and Morgan Stanley took Shake Shack (SHAK-$49) public with an initial public offering of 5 million shares at $21. And in less than a femtosecond, the shares of this hamburger joint exploded to $52. Cheese and crackers got all muddy, I was so bloody surprised that you could have knocked me over with a fender.

SHAK is another mundane fast-food burger joint that will occupy 1,500 square feet of real estate for the time period of its lease, after which it’s likely to fold its tent and steal away. SHAK peddles the “same old, same old” hamburgers, hot dogs, french fries, milkshakes, malts, soda pop and ice cream as Five Guys, Hardee’s,

McDonald’s and Sonic. But unlike Wendy’s, Wally’s and White Castle, SHAK also sells beer and cheap wine with its burgers and dogs.

However, SHAK’s entry on the burger business has had about as much of an impact on the fast-food scene as the advent of another mosquito in a cesspool would have.

I also believe that you’d be stuck owning SHAK at $51 for a long, long and long time if you were to wait for it to get above that price. In a mad frenzy and with FOMO (fear of missing out), investors incredulously bid up the share price from $21 to $52. Frankly, I can’t imagine even two good reasons SHAK should not trade 40 points lower. There are no income statements or balance sheet numbers (even future projections) that would support a $51 price.

The current market capitalization is a dangerous and ridiculously high $540 million. SHAK reported revenues of $162 million from 66 units, an amount I find difficult to accept. That’s $2.5 million in revenues per unit, whereas an average McDonald’s averages $2.6 million in revenues per unit. And SHAK reported a loss for its most

recent reporting quarter.

This is just one of the zillion hamburger joints that dot America’s streets, and from my catbird seat, it has little redeeming value. I, too, think you would be better off owning AT&T (T-$33), which yields 5.7 percent and has increased its dividend in 24 of the past 25 years.

Of SHAK’s 66 operating units, 23 are in Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia or Qatar, where alcohol sales are frowned upon and camel is likelier to be on the menu than hamburgers.

There are several units in Turkey and Russia and one lonely unit in London, and the remainder are on the East Coast of the U.S. Please recognize that SHAK is not an investment; rather, it’s a speculation based on lots of good intentions but more hype, hyperbole and hope than substance.

Take your broker’s advice and sell your 500 shares at a small loss before it becomes a larger loss.

OUR VIEW

After election, don’t forget how you got the job To those who came up short in Tuesday’s election, thank you for being willing to serve and putting your name before the voters.

We hope that if circumstances are right in the future, you will try again. Voters benefit from having options; communities benefit when there are multiple people on the ballot putting forth ideas.

Congratulations to those candidates who received enough votes to win. Whether you have been elected for the first time or have won a new term, whether you faced an opponent or not, once your new term begins you will be holders of the public’s trust.

We are still shaking our heads over the dismal voter turnout – just under 15 percent in Will County and just over 13 percent in Grundy County.

Why more voters don’t realize they hold power by voting, and refuse to cast a ballot, continues to baffle us. We hope future elections include more participation – both through people running for office so more races are contested, and voters coming out to elect them.

For those about to assume office, do not forget how you came to hold it – through a public vote. We want to remind those who did win and will soon be serving on boards and councils of public entities that their responsibility is to those who cast the ballots and pay the taxes.

We encourage Tuesday’s victors to embrace transparency as they take office, and not err on the side of secrecy. You shouldn’t prefer to make decisions out of public view, or serve your own agendas, rather than those that most benefit the citizens whom you serve.

Winning this election has not made you members of a private club. Only in rare circumstances should secrets be kept from the public. They’ve chosen you to serve on their behalf, but they still have the right to understand what their government is doing, and to be heard when they disagree with its course.

Few in public life succeed in pleasing everyone all the time. That’s OK. Those who are open, honest, and willing to listen to others’ point of view can earn the respect even of those with whom they disagree.

In the end, the governments that those who were elected Tuesday will help to run are local governments – they’re funded by and exist to serve them and their neighbors.

The decisions made by those who were elected Tuesday will affect their neighbors. We wish all those who were elected – and any of the write-in candidates yet to learn if they have been elected – good luck in their coming terms of office.

Young Hearts for Life can save lives Each week, sudden cardiac death claims the lives of more than 60 young adults in the United States. This tragedy hit us close to home most recently in February, when an eighth-grade student at John F. Kennedy Middle School in Plainfield collapsed while playing basketball and died from an undetected heart condition.

We may be able to prevent future tragedies like this from happening. Thanks to a remarkably successful initiative in the Chicago area called Young Hearts for Life (YH4L), founded and led by cardiologist Dr. Joseph Marek, our community can step up and take advantage of a proven screening program that literally saves lives.

On April 7, I convened a meeting at my office in Plainfield for local school administrators, parents, elected officials and leaders of civic organizations to hear directly from Dr. Marek about the Young Hearts for Life Cardiac Screening Program, nationally known for its unique model, which has screened over 110,000 students for conditions that cause sudden cardiac death.

GUEST VIEW State Rep. Mark Batinick This milestone is a first for any heart screening program of this kind in the United States.

The YH4L screening program’s model uses trained community volunteers to deliver low-cost, efficient EKG screenings. Dozens of schools throughout northern Illinois have utilized this program since 2006. The screenings are free to students and medical privacy is fully respected in accordance with HIPAA laws. Students with suspicious EKG results are referred to their primary care physician for further evaluation.

I want to bring this initiative to Plainfield, Oswego and Shorewood area schools here in our community.

The response to Dr. Marek’s presentation at our April 7 meeting was tremendously positive.

Our local school districts are receptive and ready to explore the next steps in the process.

The Young Hearts for Life

model is exceptional, but it depends on the cooperation of local parents and schools to make it a success. It is a voluntary program, as it should be – we already have far too many government mandates on schools and regulations that limit parental choice.

The Junior Woman’s Clubs from Plainfield, Oswego and Joliet have expressed their interest in helping to raise the necessary funds and recruit volunteers. Yet the fact remains, we all need to step up to make this happen. If you are interested in connecting with my office about this endeavor, please email us at Batinick@ ilhousegop.org. We will be in need of volunteers and sponsors.

I encourage you to learn more about the Young Hearts for Life Screening Program by visiting www.yh4l.org. Read and you will be convinced. Together, as a community of volunteers, we can save the lives of our teens and young adults who may have an undetected heart condition.

Front-runners and long shots mobilizing for 2016 race “I could’ve been a contender,” is one of Hollywood’s most famous lines, said by Marlon Brando, playing a boxer in “On the Waterfront.”

But hardly anyone in either major political party is quoting Brando. Sixteen people are either running, preparing to run or mentioned seriously as candidates for president of the United States in 2016.

The race is “getting real in Iowa,” according to the Des Moines Register, where its citizens have the chance to meet

VIEWS Donna Brazile the next president face-to-face just by turning the corner.

The presumed heavyweight contender on the Democratic side, former Secretary of State and presumptive 2008 presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton, is ready to move into leased campaign space in Brooklyn, New York.

For Clinton, the decision to run her campaign out of Brooklyn versus inside the Beltway will allow the staff to focus on the work at hand. As one of former President Bill Clinton’s key advisers told me, “Brooklyn is a perfect place where the lobbyists, consultants and hangers-on can’t just show up at lunchtime.”

And being in Brooklyn will remind voters that Clinton was a well-regarded senator – the one office in which she wasn’t directly connected to

the two presidents in her life.

While Hillary might still face opposition from former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley, former Sen. Jim Webb of Virginia, Vice President Joe Biden, former U.S. senator and Gov. Lincoln Chafee of Rhode Island, and others, her major opponent will continue to be the woman in the mirror. Her greatest opponent may be her own penchant to play hardball with the press.

Meanwhile, the Republican entry season has started and

the candidates are quickly engaging voters and the press.

Sens. Rand Paul of Kentucky and Ted Cruz of Texas have already declared their candidacies, but expect a lot more announcements in the near future.

ty taxes, right? You understand that the biggest chunk of your property taxes go to the school districts, right? Then why would you not vote to ensure your tax dollars are best managed? Especially given the nearly $3 million deficit the school is facing. I find this mind-boggling.

Voting is the one voice each of us has. It takes just a few minutes, is free and directly affects you.

What is it going to take to make people in Channahon vote? Is it more marketing by the candidates? Do we need to have public debates? Or do we need to have a school system that’s $10 million in the hole before people wake up and vote?

Tell me what it’s going to take, and together we can make it happen. But under 20 percent is an embarrassment.

We here in Channahon are on the verge of a great expansion.

New homes are again being built, the two interchanges that lead into our community are being redone over the next two years and more industry is showing an interest in Channahon.

We must make sure those in a position to make policy and educate our children are the best possible people we can find. This means we must engage in the political system. If we do not, we have no one to blame but ourselves for the outcome of our apathy.

To the Editor: It’s time for California to get real with this drought and global warming. Some things need to go like rice paddies, cotton, alfalfa, and corn production, green lawns and swimming pools in the desert.

People come first, take a cue from the Israelis on how to survive in the desert and grow things. Water needs more market-oriented pricing. Subsidizing water production and consumption will only lead to more waste. Wastewater needs to be recycled and reused. A good application would be golf courses, parks, sanitation or industrial uses.

Sincerely, Thomas Cechner Lockport

Does anyone care what is happening in our area?

To the Editor: April 7 saw a despicably low voter turnout of less than 20 percent in Channahon. I realize some of the races were uncontested, but some were not – including an important MCHS board race that saw five candidates running for three spots.

I was certain that the recent issues haunting the MCHS board would bring voters out.

Nope. People stayed home and didn’t vote.

People: You understand that over 70 percent of the school’s budget comes from your proper-

Night of Champions to honor 2 of ‘Tiger Ray’s’ best One promise for Thursday’s Joliet Township Athletic Boosters Night of Champions is that interesting Ray Klootwyk tales will be spun.

The late Joliet Township and Joliet West legendary football coach, a member of the Joliet Area Sports Hall of Fame, led teams at West that finished 9-0 in 1968 and 7-1-1 in 1969. Those teams will be among the honorees at the 11th annual Night of Champions, which is scheduled Thursday at the IBEW 176 Hall, 1100 NE Frontage Road.

Glen Marcum, president of the Joliet Township Athletic Boosters who co-chairs the event with District Director of Activities and Athletics Chris Olson, said a number of players from those two teams have indicated they will attend the banquet. Most likely will have favorite stories to relate about “Tiger Ray,” their coach.

Also on the list of honorees are brothers Larry and Michael Parker, who starred in basketball at West in the early

1970s. Larry went on to play at Iowa, where he was a fouryear letterman, and Michael played at Lewis. Larry is the father of Anthony Parker, who played nine seasons in the NBA, and Candace Parker, one of the all-time great women’s college basketball players.

“We’re excited to get Larry Parker,” Marcum said. “We have been wanting to honor him for a while now but we had trouble getting in touch with him. Thanks go to Pat Sullivan for helping us reach him.”

Former Joliet Central track coach Ken Gill will be honored. In addition, longtime Central coach Tony Juarez will be recognized as “Steelman of the Year” and West Principal Teresa Gibson will be cited as “Tiger of the Year.”

The evening will begin with cocktails at 5 p.m., followed by dinner at 6:30 and the awards at 7:30. Silent and a live auctions also are on the

VIEWS Dick Goss docket.

Tickets, which are $45, will be available at the door.

However, Marcum is encouraging everyone who would like to attend to contact him in advance at 815-723-6362 or 815-741-1229.

Marcum has been a little busy. Last week he won re-election to the Joliet Park District Board, which he serves as president. But he, Olson and all their helpers have not neglected the Night of Champions. History suggests this event, which features video presentations for the honorees, is one you do not want to miss.

“We don’t have much time to pull it all together now,” Marcum said last week. “But we’re getting a lot of great help, with the video and everything else. We’ll be ready.”

MASS FOR GORDIE

The Lewis athletics, university advancement and student services departments have announced plans for a memorial Mass for former Lewis athletics director, teacher and baseball and basketball coach Gordie Gillespie on May 2 preceding the Flyers’ baseball doubleheader against Indianapolis.

The Mass will take place at 9:30 a.m. in the Sancta Alberta Chapel at Lewis. There will be a reception immediately following in the D’Arcy Great Room adjacent to the chapel.

The doubleheader will begin at 12:30 p.m. at Brennan Field. The Lewis baseball team is honoring Gillespie this season with a “GG” decal on its helmets.

AROUND THE MINORS

Mike Foltynewicz (Minooka), who came so close to sticking with the Atlanta Braves out of spring training, drew the opening-day start for

the Triple-A Gwinnett Braves and took a 1-0 loss to Durham.

In four innings, he allowed three hits, one a home run, and two walks while striking out seven.

Also for Gwinnett, outfielder Joe Benson (JCA) was 0 for 6 through two games but had a walk, was hit by a pitch and threw out a runner at the plate from left field.

Elsewhere, Dean Anna (Lincoln-Way East) was 4 for his first 10 with an RBI as the leadoff hitter for St. Louis’ Triple-A team at Memphis.

On the A-Advanced level, Sam Travis (Providence) was 1 for 7 for Boston’s affiliate at Salem and with a two-run homer. John Ruettiger (JCA) was 1 for 5 with a stolen base for Baltimore’s team at Frederick. Steve Sabatino (Lockport) pitched one scoreless inning, allowing a hit and striking out one, for St. Louis’ affiliate at Palm Beach.

BASEBALL: JOLIET WEST 2, LINCOLN-WAY CENTRAL 0

Lefty Marconi pitches Tigers past Knights in nonconference game

By DICK GOSS dgoss@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Lincoln-Way Central baseball coach Scott Gardner smiled at the irony.

“It was tough not to score runs on a day like today,” he said Friday after his Knights dropped a 2-0 nonconference decision at wind-ravaged Joliet West.

West, which improved to 7-2 while dropping Central to 4-5, scored the only runs on Robert Talarico’s two-run single to right-center field with two outs in the first inning.

Senior left-hander Nick Marconi and the Tigers’ defense took care of the rest. Marconi threw 84 pitches in the seven-inning complete game. He allowed four hits, one after the second inning.

West turned two infield double plays. Shortstop Griffin McGuire made a backhanded play in the hole and threw out the hitter at first, and catcher Eastin May and outfielders Mike Rinck, Alex Davis and Talarico

The wind was blowing toward right field, but Marconi and Central left-handers Scott Labine and Jake Morgan kept the ball in the yard and within reach of their defenses.

“Both teams played well defensively on a tough day like this,” said Gardner, whose team turned a 3-6-3 double play and got another double play when second baseman TJ Papousek leaped to snag a line drive and doubled a runner off first.

“We probably should have had six or seven runs,” West

coach John Karczewski said.

“The guys have to come through better, especially the middle of the order.

“But we did play good defense. All the outfielders made good plays, and Josh Pesavento made three or four plays at third base. It was all the seniors and one sophomore (May) who were getting it done.”

Davis, who later had a bunt single, singled to right field on an 0-2 pitch with one out in the first inning to get West started.

McGuire walked and the runners advanced on a wild pitch.

Labine snagged Blake Tomac’s comebacker, held the runners and threw to first for the second out. But the left-handed hitting Talarico solved Labine for the two-run single that proved to be the difference.

“After the first inning, I thought there would be more runs,” Marconi said. “I didn’t think Robert’s hit would be the game-winner, but it was.”

Marconi, who rounds out the Tigers’ top three starters behind Talarico and McGuire,

“What Nick did is what he has been doing all year.

Lincoln-Way Central is always aggressive, and he went after them. When we make plays like we did behind him, we’re good.”

John Karczewski Joliet West baseball coach also threw a shutout April 4 as West beat Plainfield Central in the third-place game of the WJOL/Don Ladas Memorial Tournament.

“What Nick did is what he has been doing all year,” Karczewski said. “Lincoln-Way Central is always aggressive, and he went after them. When we make plays like we did behind him, we’re good.”

Marconi struck out five and walked one. Central stranded only three runners.

“It was kind of tough at first

with the wind,” Marconi said.

“But once I started throwing strikes, it was like any other day. I had to let the defense work, and they did.”

McGuire started a 6-4-3 double play to end the first inning, and after Central’s Chad Tucker and Ryan Morgan opened the second with consecutive singes, first baseman Tomac started a neat 3-6-3 double play and a flyout ended the threat.

The Knights’ only runners after that came on a walk and single with one out in the fifth, but Marconi, who said he felt strong throughout, struck out the next two hitters.

“The last time [against Plainfield Central] I was losing stamina toward the end,” he said.

“This time I felt great.”

Marconi throws a fastball, curve and changeup.

“The change was off at first,” he said. “But I had the fastball and curve and that got me through until the change started working.”

“Their pitcher kept us off balance,” Gardner said.

range to secure a big win for Central (6-1-3, 1-0), which had played three-straight 1-all draws.

“Milena and I wanted the wind, so that we could capitalize right away and try to get it over with,” Arredondo said.

“That was a great ball, and I wasn’t going to stop until it hit the back of the net. This is a rivalry, so obviously, West was going to come out and play harder. After three ties, we were kind of doubting ourselves, so this was great and we really needed it.”

Central lost one of its captains and Singletary’s part-

ner at center back, Stephanie Cardenas, to injury shortly after the break but Alyssa Kochel came in and did a nice job to assist Crystal Cisneros and Viviana Aguilar on defense.

West also received a good effort from its backline of Renee Fonck, Brittany Schutter, Allison Rodawold and Daniela Ortiz as both sides struggled to get good attempts.

During the final half, Torres and Kara Cipolle were denied early by Butler while Kendra Neill and Ortiz were thwarted late.

JOLIET – One team hadn’t lost since its opener while the other hadn’t won since its debut.

So Saturday’s girls soccer match between rivals Joliet Central and Joliet West looked like it might not be that competitive.

But nothing could be further from the truth as the underdog Tigers gave the Steelmen all that they could handle, and more.

Neither side could score in regulation and Central finally ended the drama with a goal in the 86th minute in overtime to claim a 1-0 SouthWest Suburban Conference Blue win on the West Side.

“West came out and definitely showed what it had and played a fantastic game,” Central coach Erin Fahey said. “In the beginning, they had most of the possession of the ball and wanted it just as bad as we did. It was a battle the entire game, and I knew it would come down to a scrappy goal. Our girls stepped up and played hard, and I’m proud of the win.”

While disappointed to see his squad play so well only to come away with a tough defeat, coach Patrick Korthauer was proud of how his improving Tigers performed.

“This game brings out the best in everyone and it was exciting to watch as a spectator,” Korthauer said. “In our

fania Zavala found Hayley Bazan, but Schutter disrupted things and then Daisy Esquivel sent a pass to Yessenia Viveros, but Rodawold got in front of the try while Mata was out of the net.

“Our whole team came out hard, and we really wanted to win this,” Rodawold said.

“They’re our rival, so we were pumped and we had possession for most of the game.

We’re starting to learn how each of us plays and we’ve improved a lot and hopefully we continue. I love how our team is close, we all are determined and want to win and we push each other.”

There weren’t many opportunities during the opening half as the Tigers started with an early corner from Cipolle that led to a high floater from Ortiz and later Anessa Munoz found Justine Neill in front but Central’s keeper thwarted her.

The Steelmen answered with a pair of good threats as Alexis Sutherin sent a try from the side, and then the Tiger keeper hauled in a long free kick from Arredondo.

“I was really happy with how we played, but it was a tough loss,” Torres said.

“They’re our rivals, so we knew that we had to go out and play a good game for our fans.

We’ve been improving the last two or three games, and hopefully, we keep improving. I like how we’re all really determined to keep improving and we all get along really well.”

BASEBALL: JOLIET CATHOLIC 10, PLAINFIELD EAST 0 (5 INN.)

Hilltoppers’ Ehrsam blanks Bengals

By DICK GOSS dgoss@shawmedia.com JOLIET – As a member of the Southwest Prairie Conference, Plainfield East’s normal week is to play league games Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, with the Bengals’ top three pitchers working those games.

On Saturdays, East baseball coach Adam O’Reel likes to schedule strong programs for nonconference opponents for the experience, even though he knows his best pitching will not be used.

In Saturday’s 10-0, five-inning loss to Joliet Catholic at Gillespie Field, the Bengals (64) ran into a buzz saw. The Hilltoppers (8-2) sprayed 13 hits around the yard, took seven walks and a hit batsman, and East committed two errors.

Combine all of that with the one-hit pitching from senior right-hander Danny Ehrsam, and JCA looked like one of the

state’s best teams.

“We made two or three defensive mistakes and gave away way too many freebies,” O’Reel said. “And their kid (Ehrsam) pumps the strike zone, doesn’t put extra guys on base and then he throws his second pitch for strikes That’s when he’s really tough.

“That’s the scenario we will run into for our Saturdays. We are playing good teams, but at the same time, it gives some of our other guys a chance to show what they can do. We’ve just got to get a better effort.”

East, which beat Oswego, 10-7, on Friday to avoid being swept in the Southwest Prairie opening series, is without veteran shortstop Anthony Bryan, who has a shoulder injury.

O’Reel said he does not know yet if and when Bryan, a key to the Bengals’ defense, will be able to return.

Drew DeMumbrum had the only hit off Ehrsam, a clean single with one out in the

“We’re making better adjustments at the plate now.

Sometimes you face a guy throwing 90 [mph] one day and you face a guy where there is a dropoff the next day. That could really throw off your timing. But the guys are making the adjustments.”

Jared Voss, Joliet Catholic baseball coach fourth inning. Ehrsam struck out six and walked three.

“Danny’s really been effective,” JCA coach Jared Voss said. “But today he walked a couple guys, and that’s uncharacteristic of him.”

From an offensive standpoint, the Hilltoppers’ lineup was strong top to bottom for the second consecutive day.

JCA whipped Lake Park, 160, on Friday in a five-inning game where leadoff man Mitch Boe recalled, “I think we had six triples.”

The only triple Saturday would have come off the bat

of Mike Quiram, but he was called out after his long drive to center field for missing second base. Boe and Drake Fellows had doubles. Fellows’ drive into the right-field corner cleared the bases in a fourrun second inning and Boe ignited a three-run, walkoff fifth inning with his double.

Connor Brandon and Nick Dalesandro led the hit parade with three apiece, and each drove in a run. Quiram and Boe both had two hits and an RBI. Boe ignited the three-run fifth with a double to left-center.

KC Simonich, recently moved up to the No. 2 slot in the batting order, had a hit, two walks and an RBI. Dan Devine entered as a pinch-hitter in the bottom of the fifth and singled home the Hilltoppers’ ninth run. Quiram followed with a bases-loaded walk to send in the game-ender.

“We’re making better adjustments at the plate now,” Voss said. “Sometimes you face a guy throwing 90 [mph] one day and you face a guy where there is a dropoff the next day. That could really throw off your timing. But the guys are making the adjustments.”

“Last year for whatever reason, we struggled to score runs when Drake [Fellows] was on the mound,” Boe said. “This year, we are stressing that we need to score runs no matter who we have pitching. We try to get on base, be aggressive on the bases and let them [opponents] make the mistakes.”

GIRLS TRACK: PLAINFIELD NORTH RELAYS

By CURT HERRON

PLAINFIELD – Considering all of the things that hadn’t gone smoothly in setting up Friday’s Plainfield North girls track and field relays, Tigers coach Tammy Gummerson couldn’t have asked for a better finish for the meet and her squad.

North scored 68 points to claim second place behind Yorkville, which had 85 points.

Joliet West (48) beat out Plainfield South (45) and Plainfield East (43) for third place, while Lemont and Plainfield Central also took part in the 15-team meet.

“I could not be any happier than I am right now,” Gummerson said. “The girls did an amazing job. We scored points where we typically don’t, and the girls turned it on after getting off to a slow start.

We scored literally in every field event, so we could not be happier right now and I’m so proud of these girls.

“They set this meet up and took the meet down and we were done by 8 o’clock, so it was an amazingly efficient meet. It’s been a rough week.

GOLF THE MASTERS

THE MASTERS

Spieth still leads after 3rd round

By PAUL NEWBERRY The Associated Press AUGUSTA, Ga. – Jordan Spieth finally slipped up, making an ugly double bogey at the 17th hole Saturday.

It wasn’t enough to keep him from setting another Masters scoring record.

With a brilliant up-anddown at the final hole, Spieth shot a 2-under-par 70 that gave him the lowest 54-hole score in tournament history and sent him to the final round with a four-stroke lead.

Spieth’s total over three mostly brilliant days at Augusta National was 16-under 200, breaking the mark of 201 set by Raymond Floyd in 1976 and matched by Tiger Woods

in 1997.

The 21-year-old Texan set the record even with a double bogey at the 17th, giving a glimmer of hope to those who’ll be chasing him Sunday.

“I thought 2 under would be a good score,” Spieth said.

“Obviously, I would have liked to finish the round a little better, but it could have been worse.”

Justin Rose birdied five of the last six holes for a 67 that got him into the final group with Spieth on Sunday. Rose was at 204 overall, and threetime Masters champion Phil Mickelson was another stroke behind after shooting 67.

Spieth joined Tiger Woods as the only players in Masters history to get to 18 under with

a birdie putt at the 16th hole, giving him a seven-stroke lead – his biggest yet.

Then, he showed he’s human.

Spieth’s drive at the 17th wound up in the trees, and his second shot came up short of the green. He flubbed a chip, barely making the green, and then three-putted for the double bogey.

He also messed up his approach at the final hole, the ball sailing into the gallery behind the green. With a bunker in his way and not much green to work with, Spieth hit a dazzling shot that left a 10-footer to save par and set the record.

He calmly rolled it in – not a shoe-in for the final round, but still firmly in control of the

tournament.

“To see any putt go in on 18 is nice,” he said. “It was really big. It was huge. It’s one of the bigger putts I’ve ever hit.”

For the second year in a row, Spieth will be in the final group on Sunday.

He had a two-shot lead early in the round last year but faded down the stretch, finishing as a runner-up behind Bubba Watson.

This year, it’s essentially a four-man game going to the last round.

Charley Hoffman (71) is the only other player with a single-digit deficit. He’s six shots back.

The group at 210 includes Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy, who both shot 68s.

WHITE SOX 5, TWINS 4

NATIONAL LEAGUE

Shuck has go-ahead hit in 8th The ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO – Pinch-hitter J.B. Shuck’s tiebreaking RBI single in the eighth inning on Saturday helped the White Sox to their first win of the season.

Now he hopes the 5-4 victory over the Minnesota Twins is the start of something big.

“It’s a great feeling,” said Shuck, who drove in Alexei Ramirez. “It’s a good team-building win right here.

I think we’re going to roll off this one.”

Shuck lined a 1-1 pitch from reliever Blaine Boyer (0-1) with two outs, scoring Ramirez. Conor Gillaspie was thrown out at the plate as he tried to score from second.

Former Yankees closer David Robertson struck out the side in the ninth for his first save with the Sox. The Sox lost their first four games.

Left-hander Zach Duke (10) worked a scoreless eighth for the win.

In his first home start for

the Sox, Jeff Samardzija gave up four runs and eight hits in seven innings. He struck out six without walking a batter.

White Sox first baseman Adam LaRoche snapped a 1-for-14 slump with his first home run of the season, leading off the second against Mike Pelfrey.

The Twins sent eight men to the plate in the second as Samardzija gave up four runs and five hits, including two for extra bases. Chris Herrmann tripled in a run while second baseman Brian Dozier doubled home another in a 35-pitch inning for Samardzija.

“I was in the middle of the plate too much there in the second,” Samardzija said.

“I’m trying to be aggressive and get quick outs.. ... But I love the way I came back and made a couple adjustments and got on the edges and got down.”

The Sox loaded the bases with none out in the third but managed just one run on Avi-

sail Garcia’s infield single.

But Ramirez grounded into a double play and Gillaspie grounded out to end the inning.

Geovany Soto tied it 4-all with a leadoff home run to left in the fourth, his first of the year.

Pelfrey, making his first start since May 1, 2014, departed after five innings. He yielded four runs and seven hits.

He walked one and struck out two.

“I was happy to see him try and compete,” said Twins manager Paul Molitor. “He got the last six outs in a row, I think after the tying home run. So we were able to get five innings out of him. (But) It was a game where he had to battle every inning, every pitch.”

Sox manager Robin Ventura is not concerned that Sale has faced only minor leaguers while recovering from a broken right foot. “He’s the guy I want going out there tomorrow, I don’t care if he’s faced a

hitter or not,” Ventura said. ...

The Sox reinstated LHP Eric Surkamp from the 15-day disabled list (upper back strain) and assigned him to Triple-A Charlotte.

UP NEXT

Sox LHP Chris Sale returns from the disabled list (right foot fracture) for his season debut Sunday. Sale went was 12-4 with a 2.17 ERA last year and is 6-1 with 2.45 ERA all-time against the Twins.

Minnesota RHP Phil Hughes (0-1, 6.00 ERA) makes his 12th career start and 16th appearance against the Sox.

ABREU ON BASE

Sox slugger Jose Abreu is batting just .176 with just one home run in five games but he’s still finding a way to get on base. Abreu has reached in all five games this season and has a .300 on-base percentage.

He was 0 for 3 on Saturday but reached in the third inning when Pelfrey hit him with a pitch.

The Cubs’ Starlin Castro hits his first home run of season The Cubs’ Starlin Castro follows through on an RBI single against the Colorado Rockies in the sixth inning Saturday in Denver.

Castro hit his first home run of the season earlier in this game.

The Cubs won, 9-5.

to go gave the Sixers a 53-52 halftime edge.

Two days earlier, the Bulls erased a 19-point halftime in Miami with a dominant 57-27 second half. But it was apparent early in the second half Saturday there would be no repeat performance.

Aaron Brooks scored at the buzzer ending the quarter to give the Bulls an 81-78 lead entering the fourth.

The Bulls opened up leads of at least seven points – they led by as many as nine – on four occasions in the fourth only to see the 76ers charge back within striking range. The spread was just three points before

Iginla’s second power-play goal with 32.9 seconds left lifted the Colorado Avalanche to a 3-2 victory over the slumping Blackhawks on Saturday night.

Semyon Varlamov had 28 saves and Cody McLeod also scored for Colorado, which won four of its last five despite being eliminated from the postseason a week ago.

The Hawks rested captain Jonathan Toews and defenseman Duncan Keith after learning they were locked into the No. 3 seed in the Central Division. Minnesota’s loss to St. Louis earlier Saturday clinched a first-round matchup with Nashville. The Hawks were 3-1 against the Predators, with two of those wins coming after regulation.

Gasol, Rose help Bulls beat 76ers CHICAGO – Pau Gasol had 24 points and 13 rebounds and Derrick Rose – in his third game back after missing two months following knee surgery – had 22 points and eight assists in 28 minutes in the Bulls’ 114-107 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers on Saturday night.

The Bulls remained tied with the Toronto Raptors for third place in the Eastern Conference with two games to go for each team.

The 76ers dressed just nine players, but stayed close with an aggressive, attacking style on both ends. Robert Covington led Philadelphia with 22 points, Jason Richardson had 19, and JaKarr Sampson 18.

The Bulls have dropped seven home games to teams with losing records this season, so it wasn’t surprising they got off to a sluggish start against Philadelphia.

After taking a 28-26 lead at the end of the first despite making only 8 of 22 field-goal attempts, the Bulls managed just two points in the first 5 minutes of the second to fall behind 39-30.

The Bulls then snapped out of it with a 22-11 run to take a 52-50 lead in the final minute of the first half, but Covington’s three-point play with 4 seconds

Family memories turned into book Shorewood resident fictionalizes life in an Italian village during World War II

By MAUVERNEEN BLEVINS Shaw Media Correspondent SHOREWOOD – Throughout her married life, Ann Rubino of Shorewood heard stories about life in Italy during World War II. These were mainly reminiscences of her husband’s grandparents, aunts and uncles. Some were from her husband, who was 12 years old when he left Italy in 1948.

About five years ago, Rubino, who said she once worked as a consultant for the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago, began writing those stories down. She wanted their children and grandchildren to remember “Grandpa’s stories.”

Realizing these stories were of interest to other people, Rubino decided to publish them.

Her book, “Peppino, Good As Bread,” although fiction, is a compilation of those personal accounts woven into one young boy’s story. Rubino said she enjoyed pulling those memories out of her husband, Paul, and arranging them into one story.

Rubino will discuss and sign copies of her book April 26 at the American Italian Cultural Society in Crest Hill.

During her teaching career and while on the board of Science and Children Magazine, Rubino said she wrote a lot of nonfiction and book reviews.

Fiction seemed the next logical step.

“It kind of just evolved,” Rubino said of her writing.

Rubino also said she and Paul learned a lot about each other during that time. His retelling of memories tended to stir others, she said. He shared one story of scavenging discarded cigarettes as a kid to resell the tobacco.

“Just one of the harsh realities of a wartime economy,” Rubino said.

Rubino geared the book to middle school readers, her favorite group to teach. She finds children at that age eager to learn. Her background as an educator provided her with insight into the interests of children and how they learn.

Overall, Rubino believed that age group knew very little about World War II. During her research to ensure dates and times were correct, Rubino said she also discovered that, although there is a lot of information about

Ann Rubino, a Shorewood resident, has written two books and is working on a third. Her first book, “Peppino, Good As Bread” (seen below) was inspired by her husband’s stories of living in Italy during World War II.

“Publicity is a ton of work,” Rubino said.

Holding a book signing for “Peppino, Good As Bread,” at the American Italian Cultural Society brings Rubino’s interests full circle. Rubino is also co-founder of the society’s book club.

Originally formed to read books on the American-Italian experience, the club has since moved to a more eclectic mixture of books. Open to members of the society, their nine members meet once a month at a local restaurant.

Rubino said her family is proud of her accomplishments, even though delving into fiction-writing is new for her.

“They are a little surprised by grandma’s new project,” Rubino said.

Rubino is not stopping with one book. Her second, “Emmet’s Storm,” set in Northern Iowa during the blizzard of 1888, is due out shortly.

The Will County Trail Riders and The Salvation Army in Joliet got together March 28 at The Salvation Army’s Easter Extravaganza for children and families connected with its programs. Because most of the children who participate in The Salvation Army programs live in poverty, they have few opportunities to interact with horses.

| PUZZLES & ADVICE

64 Make doctor visits count by preparing for the visit Dear Doctor K: I find doctor’s appointments overwhelming. I sometimes forget what I wanted to ask about. By the time I get home, I’ve forgotten half of what the doctor has told me.

How can I optimize my time with my doctor?

Dear Reader: Many of my patients tell me they feel the same as you. It’s easy to feel rushed at a doctor’s appointment, or unsure of the information and instructions you’re given.

I’ve told my patients that, with a little preparation, you can get much more out of your visit.

And many patients, when they come for the next visit, clearly have followed the advice. • Prepare for the visit.

Write down a list of questions in the days leading up to your visit.

They can be about something complicated, such as your treatment. Or they can be simple, such as whether you should get a flu shot. Refer to your list during the visit to make sure you haven’t forgotten to ask about anything. I would say about half of my patients have brought such lists to their visits with me. • Share your symptoms.

Volunteer information about your symptoms and other health concerns, even if you’re not asked. Are you struggling with insomnia or having more heartburn than usual? The more information your physician has, the better he or she can help. • Ask questions. When your doctor says something during the visit that you don’t understand, don’t hesitate to ask questions and voice concerns. Asking for clarification or making sure you understand why your doctor is prescribing a particular medication does not make you uncooperative or pushy. You have a

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff right to understand decisions that affect your health. • Bring a friend, spouse or adult child with you. It can help to have an extra set of ears to pick up on instructions and other information your doctor relays during your appointment. That person can take notes while you engage with your doctor. • Bring a list of your current medications, the doses and the schedule of when you take them. Better yet, put your medications in a plastic bag and bring the bag to the appointment. Many people these days see multiple doctors (their primary care doctor and several specialists). You may be taking medicine prescribed by one doctor that another doesn’t know about.

And don’t forget to include vitamins, supplements and overthe-counter medicines, not just prescription medicines in that bag: They can have negative interactions with your prescription medications, which your doctor should know about. • Get a recap. Before leaving your appointment, ask the doctor to repeat the instructions you’re supposed to follow. Write down what you need to remember.

Ask when the doctor would like you to return for your next visit.

This advice may seem obvious. But most of my patients didn’t do these things before I urged them to – and some still don’t do these things, despite my urging.

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

Mom threatens to fight son’s silence with silence of her own

Beetle Bailey

The Herald-News / TheHerald-News.com • Sunday, April 12, 2015

| COMICS & ADVICE

66

Dear Abby: My 34-year-old, single, independent son completely ignores me. He won’t answer texts, emails, postal mail or phone calls. Weeks and months go by with no meaningful conversation between us.

I am sick of it, and tired of being treated so disrespectfully. I thought I had raised my son to be more thoughtful of others, especially his mother.

I’m ready to put an end to my misery by ignoring him back and “forgetting” holidays. That may not seem motherly, but I’m weary of trying to get him to be more responsive. Any suggestions? – Ignored Mom in

Blondie

Pearls Before Swine

Real Life Adventures

Dear Ignored Mom: I don’t know how often you have been calling, emailing, texting and writing to your son, but from what you have written, it might be a relief to both of you if you stop – at least for a while. If he notices the silence and reaches out, you can discuss the reason for it then.

However, if he doesn’t, you will have to accept that for whatever reason, this is the way he wants it. And if that’s the case, it is important that you concentrate on your relationships with friends and other family members (if there are any) and activities that bring you happiness because, clearly, your relationship with your son does not.

Dear Abby: My daughter just got engaged and is beginning to plan her wedding.

Her fiance has been married before, but she hasn’t. She wants a band at the reception and he wants a D.J. (which he had at his first wedding). My husband is paying for the entire affair, and he and I support our daughter in this.

I know this seems like a small thing, but her fiance is

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips really digging in his heels.

Would it be wrong for her to pull the “this is my one and only wedding” card? This fight seems ridiculous to us.

What do you think? – Par-

ents of the Bride

Dear Parents: I’m glad you asked. I think that if your daughter goes that route, it may not be her one and only wedding. And I urge you and your husband to stay out of it and let the two lovebirds resolve this for themselves.

Dear Abby: My wife and I are retired, so we both contribute to household chores.

There are no rules as to who does what, but somehow everything gets done.

The disagreement we’re having relates to laundry.

When I do it, the last steps are: Remove the clothes from the dryer, place them on top, then sort, fold and put away.

My wife claims that taking the clothes out of the dryer and placing them on top creates wrinkles, and what I really need to do is take one item out of the dryer, fold it, and then repeat until the dryer is empty, sorting as I go. I maintain that this does not seem logical.

There is no data to back her claim, and all it does is make extra work for me.

I would appreciate your thoughts. – Fluff and Fold Dear F and F: When clothes are removed from the dryer and tossed in a pile, wrinkles can set in. However, if the garments are removed individually and then folded or hung up, they remain wrinkle-free.
