VIEWS John Whiteside Editor’s note: Longtime Herald-News columnist John Whiteside wrote this column, which originally appeared in the Feb. 12, 2004, edition, about Abraham Lincoln’s visits to Joliet. With his family’s permission, we’re reprinting Whiteside’s column in Wednesday’s edition, which is the 150th anniversary of Lincoln’s death.

Abraham Lincoln, whose 195th birthday [was] being acknowledged [Feb. 12, 2004], visited Joliet twice: Once in life and once in death.

As an unknown politician and downstate lawyer, Lincoln spoke at a political rally and beauty contest here during the fall of 1856. But he wasn’t the featured speaker.

The main speech that day in Demmond’s Woods on Joliet’s West Side was given by Owen Lovejoy, a Republican candidate for Congress and outspoken abolitionist. The Republican Party was in its infancy.

And Lincoln was here promoting the new party’s candidate for president, John C. Fremont, the soldier who had explored the Northwest and brought California into the union.

Ol’ Abe also was plugging Lyman Trumbell, a Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate. This made him an unpopular man with some in Joliet, considering that Trumbell’s Democratic opponent was Joliet’s own Joel Matteson, a former Illinois governor.

Lincoln and Matteson were well-known political enemies.

Unfortunately, the words that Lincoln spoke that October day have been lost to history. The Joliet Signal newspaper was there to cover the event. But the reporting was anything but objective.

The Signal’s editor, Calneh Zarley, was a strong supporter of Democratic politics. He was a close friend and adviser to Stephen A. Douglas, who was known as “the little giant.”

As a result of Zarley’s politics, no direct quotes or thoughts from Lincoln were re-

ON THE COVER

This April 1865 photo provided by the Library of Congress shows President Abraham Lincoln’s box at Ford’s Theater, the site of his assassination. ported in the Joliet Signal. The Oct. 14, 1856, article merely referred to Lincoln over and over as “that black Republican.”

But some historians believe that Lincoln was already using the classic line, “A house divided against itself cannot stand.”

At the time, slavery was the hot political issue. The debate centered around whether slavery should be extended to the new territories and states west of the Mississippi River. The Republican Party was opposing the expansion of slavery.

Although Lincoln’s remarks were lost, years later, Almeda Stephenson, who was one of the young ladies in the beauty contest that day, recalled that folks had listened to Lincoln. She said there were many Republicans in the crowd.

“We were disgusted with his appearance, although our parents, most who were staunch Republicans, awaited his coming eagerly,” she said.

Lincoln spent that night, a Wednesday, in Joliet’s National Hotel on Exchange Street.

Two years later, Lincoln became famous during the 1858 debates with Douglas.

Although he lost that Senate race, the fame of the debates carried him on to the White House.

On April 15, 1865, shortly

after being elected to a second term as president, Lincoln was assassinated. The funeral train bringing him home to Springfield for burial took 18 days as it passed through American cities.

On May 2, 1865, the funeral train stopped in Joliet at about midnight. With the train station draped in mourning black and purple, more than 5,000 people lined the railroad track that night.

They were standing in the rain.

“Guns were fired, church bells tolled, and the multitude stood in reverential silence with uncovered heads while the band played a solemn dirge,” a newspaper reported.

The newspaper was much kinder to Lincoln this time.

At a little after 1 a.m., the funeral train stopped in Wilmington, where a crowd of 2,000 waited. Men holding torches lined both sides of the railroad track.

As the train passed through Gardner, homes there were draped in mourning and illuminated. Most of the population of Dwight was outside as the train passed through that community.

As Carl Sandburg, Lincoln’s biographer, wrote, “And so, the tall stranger had come to a deep river; to a by and by from whence no man returns.”

CASA of Will County recognizes National Child Abuse Prevention month

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A grassy area near the entrance of the River Valley Justice Center in Joliet was adorned Tuesday with pinwheels – the national symbol for child abuse prevention.

Court Appointed Special Advocates of Will County volunteers, along with Exelon volunteers, planted 500 colorful pinwheels to represent the 500 children in the Will County court system. CASA of Will County helps abused or neglected children receive needed services, emotional support and safe housing.

Will County Juvenile Court Judge Paula Gomora praised CASA of Will County as her “eyes and ears” on children coping after being removed from homes and placed in foster care.

“When the child’s life is in complete turmoil, they may be the one constant in that one child’s life,” she said.

The pinwheel garden – shaped like a heart – not only represents children in the court system, but also recognizes National Child Abuse Prevention month and is paving the way for a garden with plants and flowers next year.

Rita Facchina, CASA of Will County executive director, said the garden would be for children.

“This would be a place for them to regroup and have something for them to think about other than their situation,” Facchina said.

Exelon partnered with CASA of Will County to provide volunteers to plant the garden, as well as put together 50 backpacks for children filled with supplies, such as toys and toiletries. Facchina said when children come under the care of CASA of Will County, they have nothing “but the clothes on their back.”

Pam Garcia of Frankfort became a volunteer for CASA of Will County last year. In November, she was sworn in

and immediately given a case to work on. She said she loved being part of an organization that makes a difference, as vol-

unteers are the “voice of the children.”

“It’s going to make their lives better that there’s an ex-

tra person there to care,” she said.

Route 30 remains prime attraction near mall

By BOB OKON bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The latest retail development near the Louis Joliet Mall shows stores and restaurants still prefer a Route 30 location, officials say.

A groundbreaking ceremony was held Tuesday for Dick’s Sporting Goods and DSW shoes, which will get a Route 30 location after a movie theater was torn down to make room.

The project was in the works for about a year, said Michael Fitzgerald, vice president of leasing for Inland Real Estate Corp. Inland owns the Joliet Commons shopping center where the two stores will be located.

“We thought these are two great retailers to add, and they wanted to be in the market,” Fitzgerald said. “They wanted to be on Route 30.”

City officials have tried to persuade retailers and restaurants to try a spot on Hennepin Drive or other locations near the mall, just not on U.S. 30. Hooters is one restaurant that located on Hennepin, but no others followed.

“We’ve suggested [locations] at the end of Essington Road,” City Manager Jim Hock said, describing the southern entrance to the

Michael Fitzgerald, vice president of leasing for Inland Real Estate Corp., stands at the site of the former Movies 10 theater, which was torn down, during a groundbreaking ceremony Tuesday for the future Dick’s Sporting Goods and DSW shoe store. mall. So far, Route 30 remains the main attraction.

Stores that opened last year outside the mall include Sports Authority, which is in the former Kmart space along Route 30. Fresh Thyme Markets is set to open in June next to Sports Authority.

When Sleepy’s built a new

mattress store last year, the company noted the location had high visibility from the main mall entrance off Route 30.

“National retailers are looking at Joliet as a whole,” Fitzgerald said. “Route 30 is the regional corridor. Retailers don’t really want to create

a new niche. They want to be where the critical mass is.”

Fitzgerald said Inland did not see a long-term future for the Movies 10 discount theater. He noted that Cinemark, which owned Movies 10, has a premium theater nearby in the mall and was not likely to put money into both oper-

ations.

Cinemark has not returned repeated calls to comment on the closing of Movies 10.

The movie theater was torn down in March. Dick’s Sporting Goods and DSW would likely be open by November, Fitzgerald said.

Judge won’t toss drug case over lost drug wrappers

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A judge decided Monday not to toss out a nineyear-old drug case against a Naperville man.

But attorneys for Michael Vilim, 56, can tell jurors that the state has “lost” wrappers that contained the 17 kilos of cocaine allegedly found in Vilim’s home.

“There has been [an evidence] violation by the state,” Judge Edward Burmila said.

“Suppression of the evidence in the wrappers is not the appropriate sanction [nor is] dismissing the indictment.”

“But [losing the wrappers] could be a negative inference in Michael the state’s case,” Vilim Burmila said, allowing the loss to be brought up to jurors before they are sent to deliberate.

In September 2006, the

Metropolitan Area Narcotics Squad allegedly found the drugs inside Vilim’s Naperville home. Vilim’s then-wife was having a sexual relationship with a MANS agent, according to court records.

Burmila denied a motion by the defense to instruct jurors to consider Agent Wilfredo Rivera, who had a relationship with Sue Vilim, handled the evidence.

The Illinois Attorney General’s office took over the case shortly after Vilim ’s arrest,

but gave it back to local prosecutors last year. An assistant attorney general allegedly saw Vilim, whose license is suspended, driving to court and notified police. Since their prosecutor could be called as a witness, the attorney general’s office chose to assign the drug case back to the Will County State’s Attorney’s Office.

Another hearing is scheduled for next week to see if Burmila will allow Attorney Chuck Bretz to withdraw from the case.

“There has been [an evidence] violation by the state. Suppression of the evidence in the wrappers is not the appropriate sanction [nor is] dismissing the indictment.”

Peterson to stand trial in July in murder-for-hire case

prosecutors to cross-examine Peterson about his first-degree murder conviction should he choose to testify.

Another seeks permission to discuss a 2003 attempt by Peterson to pay someone $25,000

Pay the bills when you’re unable to work SPONSORED BY

By Carmen R. Heflin Let Disability Insurance from Commonwealth Insurance Go to Work for You. What is disability insurance?

Disability insurance helps replace a portion of your income when you are sick or injured and unable to work.

Some people think of it as “paycheck protection.”

Having disability insurance can provide a sense of security, knowing that if the unexpected should happen, you’ll still receive a monthly income.

If you think about it, everything you have today - your home, car, groceries, savings - basically your lifestyle, depends on your ability to earn an income. Most people are quick to insure their possessions, such as their home and car. And they generally have life insurance that would provide for their family. But the one thing that makes all this possible is – your income. It’s your most important asset.

So, protecting it with disability insurance isn’t just a good decision – it’s essential.

What would you do?

If a disabling sickness or injury happened to you today, how would you pay your bills?

Would your savings cover your expenses for 60 to 90 days? That’s assuming the disability is short-term. What if it wasn’t?

Would I have other income sources?

There are three other sources of income that may or may not be available to you depending on your situation.

Employer-provided Disability Insurance Government Disability Insurance Workers’ Compensation How much does it cost?

A disability insurance policy would be tailored to you, your unique situation and the amount of protection that’s right for you. The monthly premium for a disability insurance policy varies based on several factors: and if you select short term or long term.

When should I buy?

The best answer is now when you’re healthy.

to “take care of” Savio. The third seeks to limit discussion at trial about the details of the confidential informant’s own first-degree murder conviction.

Brown already has barred the defense and prosecutors from publicly revealing evidence to protect the informant.

Peterson did not testify at his first trial but blamed prosecutors after he was convicted for “the largest railroad job ever.” He challenged Glasgow to look him in the eye and then told him to “never forget what you’ve done here.”

CHESTER – Drew Peterson, the former suburban Chicago police officer charged with trying to kill the prosecutor who helped put him in prison for his third wife’s death, will stand trial in southern Illinois this summer.

A Randolph County judge on Tuesday set a July 6 jury trial for Peterson. The ex-Bolingbrook police sergeant is accused of enlisting another prison inmate whose identity has not been disclosed in a murder-for-hire plot to kill Will County State’s Attorney James Glasgow. Peterson pleaded not guilty in March.

Peterson, 61, is serving a 38-year sentence at the Menard Correctional Center in Chester after his 2012 conviction in Kathleen Savio’s death eight years earlier.

He’s also suspected in the 2007 disappearance of his fourth wife, whose father and sister attended the brief hearing.

Circuit Judge Richard Brown also approved a request by prosecutors to keep the taped prison conversations between Peterson and the unidentified informant under seal before the trial to avoid influencing potential jurors. Defense attorney Lucas Liefer didn’t oppose the request.

“I just don’t feel that it’s in the interest of justice that that come out any sooner than it has to,” Randolph County State’s Attorney Jeremy Walker said. “We’re not trying to purposely frustrate the public’s rights. But there’s a greater importance in making sure we aren’t prejudicial to Mr. Peterson’s rights.”

Peterson, who is charged with solicitation of murder for hire and one count of solicitation of murder, attended the hearing but did not speak.

Both felonies carry maximum sentences of 30 years.

Brown set a hearing for late May to consider three motions submitted by Walker.

Group asks Illiana approval be withdrawn

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com JOLIET – An alliance of environmental groups wants the Federal Highway Administration to reconsider its approval of the Illiana Expressway, citing new evidence they say undermines the agency’s earlier backing of the $1.5 billion project.

In an April 10 letter, the coalition points to a $112,000 study paid for – but never released – by the Illinois Department of Transportation. In early 2014, the Illinois Finance Authority,

on behalf of IDOT, contracted with Fitch, a bond rating company, to obtain an opinion letter to see whether the project qualified for a federal transportation loan.

“Fitch Ratings apparently declined to give the project an investment grade credit rating, rendering IDOT’s proposed approach unworkable,” according to the letter.

The FHA’s record of decision should be void because it was based on IDOT’s “inaccurate and incorrect” determination that the fiscal constraint requirements were met, the

letter states.

The Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning’s policy committee voted to include the Illiana in the region’s longrange comprehensive plan based on those assumptions as well, said Virginia Hamann, a Peotone homeowner and vocal project opponent who signed the letter.

“IDOT lied,” Hamann said.

“They did not disclose that to CMAP, to [the region’s Metropolitan Planning Organization], and they based their votes on the project on it being financially viable.”

IDOT spokesman Guy Tridgell confirmed via email Tuesday that Fitch provided a negative oral report to the state agency, saying “the financial plan for the Illiana at that time could not receive an investment grade rating, due to the financial position of the state of Illinois.”

When asked why the study’s findings were not released, Tridgell wrote in the email that “there was no written report or study done with supporting documentation, as the previous administration began researching other financing options.”

The controversial Illiana Expressway project is among transportation projects put on hold by Gov. Bruce Rauner.

Supporters say the 47-mile tollway, which would link Interstate 55 in Wilmington with Interstate 65 in Indiana, would relieve traffic congestion on Interstate 80 and create much-needed jobs. Critics say it’s financially risky.

The letter was signed by representatives from the Environmental Law and Policy Center, the Midewin Tallgrass Prairie Alliance, Openlands and other groups.

New Lenox seeks $19M state loan for waste water project

By SARWAT S. AHMAD Shaw Media correspondent NEW LENOX – New Lenox’s long-planned, multimillion-dollar expansion plans for waste water treatment plant No. 2 continue, with the village seeking a loan from the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency.

Village trustees Monday night approved an agreement with Chicago-based engineering firm AECOM to prepare and submit an engineering proposal to the IEPA for the $19 million project to secure a loan that would save the village thousands of dollars in

interest payments.

The village will pay AECOM a little more than $13,000 for the engineering plans for the loan application. But it expects to save “tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands of dollars” if it acquires the low-interest loan, compared to the interest it would pay if it goes to the bond market to pay for the project, Village Administrator Kurt Carroll said.

AECOM completed and submitted project engineering and bid documents to New Lenox last year. The new proposal is only for the loan application, Carroll said.

To date, the village has paid

AECOM $651,912 for all design and permitting related services for the project, Public Works Director Brian Williams said.

The project’s cost is estimated at $18 million for the expansion and about $900,000 in engineering fees, Williams said.

The village started planning the expansion almost 10 years ago, but it had to be put on hold due to the recession, he said. With economic conditions improving, the village started moving forward with the plans a few years ago.

Expansion plans include doubling the size of the current plant, with the average volume of water running

through the facility increasing from 732,000 gallons to 1.5 million gallons daily, Williams said.

Other improvements include adding more primary and secondary treatment, upgrading final filtration and building an upgraded facility to process and store biosolids removed from the sewage, he said.

Farmland purchased, annexation considered

In other action, trustees formally approved the purchase of a portion of farmland at Nelson and Spencer roads for $35,000 as part of its

plans to expand and realign Nelson Road between West Haven Road and West Illinois Highway.

The village still plans to purchase farmland between West Haven Road and West Illinois Highway before extension plans can proceed, Carroll said.

Also, the village is considering an annexation proposal by Winslow Ventures for about 2 acres of residential property south of Joliet Highway, between Western and Wisconsin roads.

Tuesday, according to the Will County Coroner’s office.

One of the most difficult jobs of a self-managed homeowners’ association board of directors is taking action against neighbors. It could be for a variety of reasons, like late assessment payments. Often, this can cause friction within the community. That’s where Celtic Property Management can help, with its professional property management service.

They can establish an online payment system that relieves the board of financial stress.

Celtic Property Management can take the personal part out of it. That means board members don’t have to go after their neighbors for thousands of dollars in late assessments.

If a resident is late on assessments, Celtic understands it might be hard for them to tell their neighbors. In one instance, a resident owed more than a year’s worth of assessments. Celtic’s team worked privately with that person and established an online payment

plan. That way, the resident’s financial troubles remained private.

“If you fall behind, we are always willing to do payment arrangements,” said Tim McGinnis, managing broker for Celtic Property Management.

“Stuff happens, we understand.

With the board’s approval, we are willing to work with that homeowner.”

Celtic Property Management’s online payment system is fully automated, and residents can make payments at anytime. The system will also send out payment reminders and late notices.

Celtic also reminds the board and residents of the importance of timely assessment payments.

“We educate homeowners of the legal obligation of the board, and that the payments support the endeavors of the association,” McGinnis added.

Professional management from Celtic Property Management starts at a minimal fee per unit. To learn more about Celtic Property Management, visit their office located at 3077 West Jefferson St. Joliet, IL. 60435, call, at (815) 730-1500 or visit them at www.Celticpm.com.

GARDNER – A Plainfield woman died after a rollover accident on Gorman Road early Tuesday morning.

The Gardner Fire Protection District responded to the scene of Tuesday’s accident.

“We were dispatched to an apparent rollover at 5:07 a.m.,” Gardner Fire Chief Terry Jensen said. “There was one victim inside and law enforcement were attempting to rescue.”

Diane J. Platt, 48, of Plain-

Jensen said the car had rolled over into a ditch, where it was half submerged in standing water.

The Grundy County Coroner’s Office said in a news release that as of Tuesday afternoon it was unclear why Platt was in the Gardner area and an examination was scheduled for Wednesday to determine cause of death.

Donald M. Woods was acting in self-defense when he killed Dameon D. Anderson, 27, on May 4 outside a residence in the first block of Mississippi Avenue, since Anderson also was shooting a gun, according to court records.

What is an automatic standby generator?

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

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

Two homes are located on that property. The developer has proposed building five more homes on the existing lots.

As part of the agreement, the village would reduce Winslow’s impact fees by 50 percent, to about $8,000, and the developer would make improvements on the sidewalk intersections of Western Avenue and West Joliet Highway, Western Avenue and Lexington Road, and Wisconsin Road and West Joliet Highway.

The agreement is scheduled for a vote at the next Village Board meeting.

Two days before the party, Woods beat and choked his girlfriend at the Larkin Avenue fast food restaurant where she worked. Police said Woods became irate when his girlfriend refused to loan her car to him.

Woods was sentenced to probation for the domestic battery, which will be served at the same time as the weapons conviction. He must serve at least half his sentence before becoming eligible for parole.

Q. My son was in an accident and hit his head.

He says he’s fine, but I think he is acting “different”.

Otherwise, he just had some bumps and bruises.

Am I just worrying too much, or does he have a case against the other driver who caused the accident?

A. First, there is nothing wrong with worrying! Second, he may, in fact, be more seriously injured than first appeared.

A closed head injury can occur even when other physical damage appears to be minor. Any forward/backward motion of the head caused by an impact, or a hit to the head can result in a head/brain injury. Closed head injuries are also referred to as traumatic brain injuries or TBIs. Traumatic brain injuries can range from very mild, through stages of concussion and all the way to brain death.

Sometimes symptoms are easy to spot: headaches, memory

B K M

loss, speech impairment, light sensitivity are some examples.

Other symptoms are more subtle. Changes in sleep patterns, irritability, and personality changes are often hard to recognize, but are signs of a closed head injury.

Often times, the injured person is NOT the first to notice these changes. A family member or friend sees these alterations in behavior first and thinks they are “worrying over nothing”.

I once had a client who’s wife described it as “He looks like my husband; his voice sounds like my husband; it’s just hard to explain-he’s not my husband anymore.”

If you notice changes like that and these changes continue, it never hurts to contact the person’s doctor for a follow up appointment. If an injury to the brain is identified, it can be a compensable injury. Make sure to seek out an attorney familiar with the subtleties of brain injury to make sure all is done to acquire a fair compensation for the injuries. adno=0317696

Q: I hurt myself on the job and have been waiting a long time for the insurance company to take care of me. What are the time periods I have to worry about?

A: We have always advised that the best piece of mind an injured worker can have comes from hiring a lawyer right away.

He will tell him what to do right, what he shouldn’t do wrong, and how to maximize the value of a case. For example, if an employee has “gaps” in treatment, that can severely hurt the case and are totally unnecessary, yet the same people who are reluctant to see a lawyer are also usually reluctant to see a doctor.

A workers’ compensation lawyer will charge the same 20% plus costs whether he is contacted the day after the injury, or the day before the settlement years later.

The first time period, which is mandatory, is that within 45 days notice must be given to the employer. The statute also says as soon as practicable. What that really means is if there is an injury sustained, always tell the supervisor or boss immediately, and get something confirmed in writing, even if it’s just an e-mail or a note in a foreman’s journal. Just waiting over night to tell the employer the next day can lead to the inference that the accident may have happened at home. When reporting, tell the employer all body parts injured, even if some don’t seem serious, because

frequently what appears to be minor at the beginning becomes significant at the end, and what seems to be a significant injury at the beginning heals up completely. The filing of a workers’ compensation claim with The Illinois Workers’ Compensation Commission, which again is usually done with a lawyer, also satisfies the notice requirement, but the best bet is always notify the employer as soon as practicable, and seek immediate medical attention.

The only other time frame to worry about is the statute of limitations, which is three (3) years. An injured worker should always get his claim on file within three (3) years to avoid any issues. However, the statute and case law allows for an extension should medical bills or workers’ compensation be paid beyond the three (3) year period. That time frame expires two (2) years after the last payment of compensation or medical bills, as long as there is not a two (2) year gap in payment following the expiration of the three (3) year statute of limitations. I recently filed a case for someone injured in 2008 because they continued to get medical care where there was no two (2) year gap in treatment, and this made the claim valid even though the bills were paid by the group carrier and not workers’ compensation. The statute actually allows this. The better practice, of course, is still to see a lawyer on day one. adno=0317695

Tenancy by the Entirety: When a husband and wife hold title to their primary residence as Tenants by the Entirety, creditors of one spouse cannot force the sale of the residence to satisfy the judgment. Tenancy by the Entirety does not offer protection against joint creditors.

Qualified Plans: The vested balance in a qualified retirement plan is exempt from the claims of creditors.

Please note that any form of asset protection planning must be done before any judgment, or the threat of judgment, exists. We are available to speak in detail with you, your group or your team of professional advisors about the various asset protection planning vehicles available.

A: For professionals such as physicians, accountants, attorneys, and anyone whose occupation exposes them to malpractice/ negligence litigation, asset protection planning should be an integral part of their overall estate plan. Some of the available planning includes:

Asset Protection Trusts: Several states (most notably Delaware) have now enacted legislation that allows a person to create a self-settled spendthrift trust, which will shield assets from the claims of future creditors, after the expiration of a four year limitations period.These trusts typically permit an independent trustee to make purely discretionary distributions of income and principal, and can be drafted consistent with your overall estate plan.

A: The first thing you should do is do not panic.

After you realize that you have been served with court papers, it is best to call an experienced foreclosure attorney. There are two reasons for making the phone call: 1) to discuss how the foreclosure process works in Will County and 2) to discuss if there any options available to save your home. It is best to call shortly after you have been served.

Your 1 hour consultation with me is free.

Here in Will County, the Court created a special program called “Mandatory Mediation.” Mandatory Mediation is where the foreclosure law suit is placed on “pause” until Mediation ends. What happens in Mediation? In Mediation, a neutral Mediator makes sure that you and the bank are trying to achieve a work out option; such as: mortgage modification, forbearance, reinstatement, or surrendering the home. Work out options varies per person/household depending on your current situation and future goals.

Here at June, Prodehl, Renzi & Lynch,L.L.C., we can discuss those options with you and determine which one is best for you. llinois State Bar Association along with Will County Bar Association and in conjunction with ReMax Ultimate Professionals are sponsoring “Ask A Lawyer Day” on Saturday, April 25, 2015 from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Attorneys volunteer their time to answer any of your legal questions – free of charge.

Continued from page 3 Garcia said the number of pinwheels representing a child in the garden was “eye-opening.” She thought it would be nice to see a volunteer for each pinwheel. While 312 children were served by a CASA advocate last year, that was only 60 percent of children in need of an advocate, according to CASA of Will County.

Gomora said 500 children in the court system is a significant number, when considering Will County’s population.

“It is 500 families that are in crisis, where the state has stepped in because the parents are unable to discharge their parental responsibilities,” she said.

This year is the 41st anniversary of the Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act and the second year the act is being recognized by CASA of Will County.

The 1974 federal legislation marked the beginning of addressing child abuse and

WHO HAS THE BEST POORBOY IN TOWN?

If I haven’t stopped at every place in town, I’m pretty close.

I’ve been to the East side, I’ve been to the West side, I’ve gone as far North in Will County that I could go and I’ve been down South, but my favorite Poorboy ended up being at 2600 W. Jefferson St, Joliet Il at the corner of Jefferson and Caterpillar Drive. That’s right, without a doubt Babe’s has the BEST Poorboy in town! Some Poorboys tend to be a little tough, some tend to be on the polyester side, if you know what I mean, but I watched them cook it and it looked like it was difficult to flip on the grill because the meat was so tender and juicy. They make it out of the highest quality cubed steak in the business. I had them smother it in garlic butter, mozzarella cheese, my favorite, grilled onions and of course plenty of sliced pickles. They told me I could have it any way I wanted, different cheese,

different toppings, any way I wanted it, but that’s the way I like it. And to my surprise, it was without a doubt, the best Poorboy in town. Go ahead, do a road trip like I did, it was a lot of fun. But I’m telling you, it’s a waste of time, I’ve already done it, and Babe’s has the best Poorboy around.

I almost forgot to mention, I stopped in on a Friday and to my surprise all bottled and canned beers were only $1.00.

They said they have that special every Friday. So I sat there, enjoyed my Poorboy, an ice cold beer and watched the game on tv. I was tempted to play the video gaming but I ran out of time. Maybe next time, oh what the heck, I’ll be there next Friday.

Four from Schock’s staff subpoenaed in federal probe

WASHINGTON – Congress said Tuesday it has been told at least four staffers who worked for former Illinois Rep. Aaron Schock have been subpoenaed to testify before a federal grand jury as part of an ongoing probe into the congressman’s expenses.

The Justice Department issued its subpoenas in recent weeks to current and former Schock staffers as it examines expense accounts, his re-election campaign spending and his relationships with political donors. A Springfield grand jury began hearing testimony about the matter earlier this

month.

The House clerk reported Tuesday the subpoenas were issued to Schock chief of staff Mark Roman, Peoria district office manager Bryan Rudolph, district chief of staff Dayne LaHood and executive assistant Sarah Rogers.

Schock, a Republican, resigned from Congress on March 31 after months of press reports into his office and political spending, including improper mileage reimbursements and trips on his donors’ aircraft, as well as business deals with those contributors.

Federal investigators who questioned likely grand jury witnesses previously had indicated during their questioning that the probe would go beyond Schock’s office expenses.

They’re interested in how his money was spent and his business relationships with his donors, according to a person familiar with the probe.

Lawmakers say Rauner must offer pension plan soon

SPRINGFIELD – Gov. Bruce Rauner better put his pension-plan cards on the table if he wants lawmakers to deal him a hand that includes budget-sparing retirement-benefit reductions, two pension experts in the General Assembly said Tuesday.

Democrats who authored a 2013 public-pension overhaul – currently undergoing a Supreme Court challenge – want the GOP governor to lay out the specific numbers he’s using in trumpeting a measure he contends could slash the state pension contribution by $2.2 billion in the budget year that begins July 1.

But Rep. Elaine Nekritz and Sen. Daniel Biss said time is running out in the spring session scheduled to end May 31. And even if it met quick lawmaker and court approval, Biss said counting on savings that quickly is “an absolute fantasy.”

Hospitals: $1.5B Medicaid cut could cost jobs, services

SPRINGFIELD – Some Illinois hospitals said a proposal to reduce Medicaid spending by more than $1.5 billion from Gov. Bruce Rauner could lead to significant job and service cuts.

The Chicago Sun-Times said a group of Chicago-area “safety-net hospitals” told lawmakers Monday they’re worried they would have to slash services or close their doors as a result of proposed spending cuts. Hospitals are given the safety-net classification if 50 percent or more of their patients rely on Medicaid.

Maryjane Wurth, president and CEO of the Illinois Hospital Association, said many Illinois hospitals still are dealing with cuts resulting from a 2012 Medicaid reform bill. “There will be a number of hospitals that simply will not be able to keep their doors open,” Wurth said.

The state’s 44 Catholic-run hospitals said in a joint statement Monday they might have to cut more than 3,000 jobs if Rauner’s proposal is approved.

Texas company wants permission to build energy line

SPRINGFIELD – A Texas company has asked the Illinois Commerce Commission for permission to build an electricity transmission line through central Illinois.

The Herald and Review said Clean Line Energy Partners said Monday that it game the ICC with a proposed route and an alternate route. The company wants to build a line to bring wind farm energy from Kansas to an existing grid in Indiana.

The Illinois routes would to go through Pike, Scott, Greene, Macoupin, Montgomery, Christian, Shelby, Cumberland and Clark counties.

Protesters sit in the audience during a Senate Foreign Relations Committee business meeting Tuesday to debate and vote on S.615, the Iran Nuclear Agreement Review Act of 2015, on Capitol Hill in Washington. Republican and Democrats on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee reached a compromise Tuesday on a bill that would give Congress a say on an emerging deal to curb Iran’s nuclear program.

White House agrees to give Congress a say on Iran deal

By DEB RIECHMANN and LAURIE KELLMAN The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Bowing to pressure from Republicans and his own party, President Barack Obama on Tuesday relented to a compromise empowering Congress to reject his emerging nuclear pact with Iran.

The rare and reluctant agreement between the president and the GOP-led Congress came after the White House maintained for weeks that congressional interference could jeopardize sensitive negotiations with Tehran. But lawmakers refused to back down from their insistence Congress have a formal role in what could be a historic deal to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons.

The Senate Foreign Relations Committee unanimously approved the compromise bill shortly after White House spokesman Josh Earnest conveyed the president’s decision to sign it.

“Maybe they saw the handwriting on the wall,” House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, said after the White House dropped its opposition.

Both houses of Congress now are likely to pass the bill, which cleared the committee, 19-0. It’s expected to come before the full Senate as soon as next week.

A vote on an actual agreement to lift economic sanctions in exchange for Iranian nuclear concessions would come later, if negotiations between the Obama administration, Iran and five other nations come to fruition.

Obama retains his right to veto any attempt by Congress to scuttle such a pact if the time comes. To override a veto would require a twothirds majority of both the House and Senate, meaning some Democrats would have to oppose their president to sink a deal.

The White House’s announcement came after an intensive administration effort to prevent Democrats from

signing on to legislation requiring Obama to submit any pact with Iran to Congress.

International negotiators are trying to reach a deal blocking Iran’s path toward nuclear weapons in exchange for relief from economic sanctions crippling its economy.

“We believe it is our role to ensure that any deal with Iran makes them accountable, is transparent and is enforceable,” said Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tenn., chairman of Foreign Relations Committee.

Corker said Secretary of State John Kerry was lobbying against the legislation on Capitol Hill a few hours before the vote. The Republican said the White House’s sudden support was dictated by the number of senators – Republicans and Democrats – backing the measure.

“I supported today’s compromise after the administration assured me that the reworked bill would preserve our negotiators’ ability to do their jobs,” said Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn.

OUR VIEW

Take steps to prepare for severe weather

Last week’s E4 tornado tore through northern Illinois with little regard for anything in its path.

Two people were killed in tiny Fairdale in DeKalb County. Many others were injured. Homes and businesses were destroyed.

Thankfully, we in Will and Grundy counties were spared this time – although we certainly can empathize with our neighbors to the north, as the tornado that struck the Coal City-Diamond area in 2013 still is in our minds.

Next time, however, we might not be as fortunate. That’s why we need to be prepared for when severe weather hits, including tornadoes.

The majority of Illinois tornadoes occur from April 1 to June 30 between 3 and 10 p.m., with an average of 47 tornadoes a year.

Last year, Illinois experienced 48 tornadoes that resulted in two injuries and almost $5 million in damage to homes and crops. In 2013, the state saw 54 tornadoes.

The Illinois Emergency Management Agency offers safety tips for tornadoes and thunderstorms on its website: www.illinois.gov/ready.

Tornado safety tips: • Before a tornado, review your family emergency plan so your family knows what it should do.

Stock your emergency kit and make sure your family knows where it is. Be prepared to be self-sufficient for at least three days. Establish a safe zone in your home, preferably in the basement or in a small interior room or hallway. Make sure everyone knows where to go for shelter. Have a National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) weather radio or an AM/FM radio in your house that everyone knows how to use. Make sure your radio is battery-operable and you have a fresh supply of batteries on hand.

• During a tornado, take shelter immediately. Go to your pre-identified safe zone to protect yourself from glass and other flying objects.

If possible, seek shelter under a

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

piece of large, sturdy furniture, such as a large table or workbench, to protect yourself from falling debris or flying objects. Stay away from windows, and don’t open them. If you’re not at home, seek shelter in the basement or an interior room of a nearby, sturdy building. Do not try to outrun a tornado in your car. Instead, leave it immediately. If no shelter is available, lie flat in a low spot with your arms and hands protecting your head.

Contrary to popular belief, seeking shelter underneath a highway or railroad overpass does not provide any measurable safety. Remain in your safe zone or shelter until the storm has passed. Stay alert for new storms that might follow.

Thunderstorm safety tips: • Avoid handling metal, electrical equipment, telephones, bathtubs, water faucets and sinks, because electric current from lightning can travel through wires and pipes.

• If you are outside, take cover in a stable facility. Avoid taking shelter under trees.

• Tune in to local TV/radio channels for emergency advisories and instructions.

• Avoid walking through water that has seeped into your home; it might contain hazardous materials.

• If you are asked to evacuate your home, follow instructions given to you by emergency personnel.

• Call your local public works department or village hall to report fallen trees or tree limbs, or clogged catch basins.

• Call your local public works department or village hall to report flooded streets.

• Avoid downed power lines and broken gas lines. Report them to 911.

This also is a good time for businesses to review their tornado response plans to ensure they can work as efficiently and safely as possible.

Tornadoes can be deadly. Be as prepared as possible to keep yourself and your family safe.

EDGE program must end SPRINGFIELD – When it comes to business, Illinois government has churned out more sweetheart deals over the last decade than a lovelorn teenager on Valentine’s Day. We have taken to paying businesses to move here. And if they threaten to leave, we’ll give them more bucks to just stick around In other words, the politicians in Springfield think they can decide better than consumers who the winners and losers in the marketplace should be.

The only losers in this scheme are ordinary taxpayers. We are paying higher taxes so some big business can pay less.

Worse yet, we are asking mom-andpop businesses to compete against corporate behemoths that are sucking in the subsidies.

Liberals call the practice “Corporate Welfare.” Conservatives call it “Crony Capitalism.” I just call it plain wrong.

Since 2001, the state has given about $1 billion in giveaways to corporations through the EDGE tax credit program.

And most of that money didn’t go to companies bringing jobs to Illinois. Instead, it went to companies threatening to move jobs out of the state.

Talk about rewarding bad behavior.

So why does government do this?

The answer is simple: politics.

Politicians love to cut ribbons for new business and claim credit for jobs.

One of the many problems with such claims is no one really knows how many jobs are created, retained or lost by a

REEDER REPORT Scott Reeder particular action.

When one business gets special help, its competitor down the street may have to lay off workers because they no longer can compete.

In the waning weeks of his administration, Gov. Pat Quinn promised about $100 million to companies.

When he took office in January, Gov. Bruce Rauner put those promises on hold. But last week, he freed the money for those businesses.

A Rauner spokeswoman told me Friday the administration felt it should honor commitments of the prior administration. She said Rauner is evaluating the long-term policy on incentives.

“DCEO is continuing to meet with companies on all incentive requests, but at this point they are only providing fiscal incentives for job creation, not retention,” Lindsey Walters said.

Well, that’s a step in the right direction. But it doesn’t go far enough. It’s time for the EDGE program to end.

The best way to promote jobs in Illinois is to improve the business climate for all employers – not just a select few.

PREP BASEBALL: PLAINFIELD SOUTH 2, PLAINFIELD EAST 1

Plainfield South’s Ritter dominates East

By DICK GOSS dgoss@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Plainfield South senior right-hander Shane Ritter demonstrated why he will pitch in the Big Ten in Tuesday’s Southwest Prairie baseball matchup against Plainfield East.

All the Iowa-bound Ritter did was retire the last 17 East batters to complete a two-hitter, strike out seven in succession at one point and fan 12 in all in a 2-1 victory that lifts South (7-3, 2-2) into the thick of the SPC race.

All eight teams in the balanced league began this week’s series either 2-1 or 1-2. East (65, 1-3) was bidding to get back to .500 in the league, scoring a run in the top of first inning on Drew DeMumbrum’s sacrifice fly after Ritter issued his only walk to leadoff man Cole Lynch and D.J. Dinofrio followed with a bunt single.

But when Tyler Dickey’s long fly ball to right-center field with two outs in the third inning was mishandled for a three-base error, the Cougars tied it at 1. By then, Ritter was on cruise control.

“I was in the groove,” said Ritter, who lost his SPC opener to Oswego East, 2-1, on two unearned runs last week. “I was pitching with so much confidence. All my pitches were working, the fastball, curve and slider, anyway. I really didn’t use the change that much.

“I think I was overthrowing a little in the first inning. I settled down after that.”

“When Shane can spot his fastball like he did, with the other stuff he has, he’s tough,” South coach Phil Bodine said.

“After the second inning, his stuff got sharp. Maybe we need to extend him a little more in the pen before a game.”

Dickey broke the tie in the fifth. After tough-luck loser Sean Pierce retired the first two batters, Nick Mayerhofer walked and aggressively moved up when East catcher Mike McGee blocked a pitch in the dirt. On a 3-1 pitch, Dickey singled up the middle to score Mayerhofer with the decisive run.

run,” Dickey said. “I think I’m getting back in the groove now.”

“We should have won, 1-0, but we gave them their two runs,” East coach Adam O’Reel said. “We had the misplayed fly ball, and then we gave up a twoout walk, and he moved up on a pitch in the dirt and scored on

a single.

“Otherwise, we made all the plays. We had to play a perfect game, and we didn’t. If we didn’t have that miscue in the outfield, the pressure would have been on them. When you’re facing a high-powered arm like we were, you can’t expect to score a lot of runs.

You can’t afford these mistakes against a Big Ten pitcher.”

Ritter (3-1) had struck out seven batters in a row with one out in the sixth inning. Dinofrio, the No. 2 hitter in the East lineup, dropped a perfect bunt along the third base line.

South third baseman Marco Melgoza charged, made a bare-

handed pickup and off-balance throw and got Dinofrio by an eyelash.

“That was a great play by Marco,” Ritter said. “And Mayerhofer at shortstop played well, too. It’s awesome knowing I have our defense behind me.”

However, as Bodine noted, “With Ritter striking out 12 like he did, we just need to make the five or six routine plays along the way, and we have a chance to win.”

Dickey, the center fielder, said there is idle time in the field when Ritter gets rolling.

“I was sitting out there minding my own business,” Dickey said.

South finished with five hits, no more than one in any inning. Konnor Ash had two hits.

“We didn’t get much offense generated,” Bodine said. “We have a young team. I hope we have better bats by midseason.”

Joliet Catholic’s Nick Dalesandro is beginning to work his way back into the Hilltoppers’ pitching rotation and should be ready to throw in the postseason.

Meanwhile, he is JCA’s No. 1 catcher.

ABOVE: Providence is one of the area’s strong Class 4A teams, and pitcher Kendal Judge is among the reasons. RIGHT: Sophomore pitcher Kiley Robb is among the keys for Joliet West this season.

The Romeoville Sectional entries include the Spartans, Plainfield North, Plainfield Central, Plainfield East and Bolingbrook. Providence, Lincoln-Way Central, Lockport and Lincoln-Way East will be in the Marist Sectional, with Providence among the regional hosts.

Just wondering who the Providence of 2014 will be.

Which team or teams from our area will get hot at the right time? At this early juncture, there are several candidates.

Then there’s softball, another sport where our area

has a history of success.

Last year, Lincoln-Way East finished fourth in the state in Class 4A. The Griffins probably were not favored to get to state, but much like Providence in baseball, they got hot at the right time.

If you have been following softball results this spring in the Herald-News, you know there are a multitude of teams that have the capability of making noise come tournament time.

Joliet Central will be a Class 4A sectional host.

Providence, Joliet West, Lockport, Minooka, Lincoln-Way

Central, Plainfield Central, Plainfield South and Romeoville are among the teams in the sectional. Providence will be a regional host.

As with baseball, sectional seeding will be done May 1213. Don’t be surprised if a few of our teams are among the top seeds. Don’t be surprised if the Joliet Central Sectional winds up with a definite local flavor.

Also in Class 4A, Plainfield East and Plainfield North will be in the Downers Grove South Sectional complex. East will host a regional.

JCA will host a Class 3A

Deepest sympathies to the Hansen family on the death of Kevin Hansen, 33. Our prayers are with you.

I was talking with JCA baseball coach Jared Voss before Monday’s game at Minooka. He recalled Kevin being on his first JCA team and what a great kid he was.

“He wasn’t the most talented kid, but he was the one who always was on the field first and the last one to leave,” Voss said. “He was always taking extra swings. He had an unbelievable work ethic.”

I’ve been friends with Kevin’s parents, Beth and Mike, since high school, and I got to know their children through the years. For those of us who have kids who are about Kevin’s age, it is unimaginable what they must be going through.

Visitation is from 2 to 8 p.m.

A year ago, local baseball fans were anticipating the Class 3A Joliet Catholic Regional, where the Hilltoppers, Lincoln-Way West and Lemont – ranked as three of the five best 3A teams in the state – were assigned.

Most observers felt the winner of that regional would have an excellent shot at winning the state championship, and that’s exactly what Lemont did.

The surprise for our area was Providence winning the Class 4A Lockport Regional and going on to claim the state title in that class. Not that the Celtics weren’t deserving champions, but during the season, they sometimes did not take on the appearance of a budding state champion.

So what will 2015 bring?

The regional and sectional assignments were announced recently – and again, JCA, Lincoln-Way West and Lemont will be in the same Class 3A regional. This time, Lemont will be the host.

Again, the winner of that regional will be among the favorites to go the distance in 3A. With the potential three-headed monster of Drake Fellows, Nick Dalesandro and Danny Ehrsam on the mound, the Hilltoppers – who will host the sectional – will be a tough out. Yes, Dalesandro will be in the pitching mix the rest of the season and in the postseason.

In Class 4A, we will have three sectionals to watch with interest. Romeoville is hosting one, and Illinois Wesleyan and Marist are the other sites.

Regional seeding is scheduled to be done May 12-13, and sectional complexes will not place teams into regionals until the seeds are in. However, geography dictated that the Illinois Wesleyan Sectional have teams assigned to regionals beforehand. Joliet West will host one of those regionals and will be challenged

by Joliet Central, Plainfield South, Minooka and Bradley for a berth in the sectional.

BOYS VOLLEYBALL: PLAINFIELD CENTRAL 2, PLAINFIELD SOUTH 0 (26-24, 25-22)

Plainfield Central gets past Plainfield South

By CURT HERRON cherron@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – A year ago, Plainfield Central’s boys volleyball team let its offense do the talking while defense took more of a back seat.

But with big-hitter Tom Poznanski graduating, the focus has shifted, and players such as middle blocker Wes Rogman and libero Gavin Broekema have taken on more significant roles for the Wildcats.

So far, so good for Central, who improved to 10-3 and 3-0 in the Southwest Prairie Conference following Tuesday’s 2624, 25-22 home win over rival Plainfield South.

Things also have been going pretty well for the Cougars, who were hoping to follow up on their tournament championship last weekend at St. Charles East.

“They played very well, and it was a close match both ways, and I don’t think that we gave them very much, so credit to them,” Wildcats coach Alex

Hurlburt said. “In general, I was pleased. I gave each of the different positions a specific goal to stretch themselves as players and add more to their tool box, and most of them accomplished that.

“Last year, I focused a lot on developing my offensive coaching philosophy, and this year, I’ve been working on my defensive philosophy. I saw a lot of good things on defense.

There were probably three or four plays where the ball could have dropped that we were able to get up. In matches that are decided by a few points, every ball that we get up is another opportunity to win, so I was pleased.”

After the Wildcats took a small lead in the opening set and maintained it, things were looking up after they took a 2320 lead into the late stages.

But a pair of balls into the net, a net violation and a bad pass by Central suddenly put the Cougars a point away from a win in the opener.

The Wildcats responded,

“Last year, I focused a lot on developing my offensive coaching philosophy, and this year, I’ve been working on my defensive philosophy. I saw a lot of good things on defense. There were probably three or four plays where the ball could have dropped that we were able to get up. In matches that are decided by a few points, every ball that we get up is another opportunity to win, so I was pleased.”

Alex Hurlburt Plainfield Central boys volleyball coach however, with consecutive kills from Gage Wuestenfeld (13 kills) off assists from Noah Randall before South sent a kill long.

“Coach is really stressing defense a lot more this season rather than our offensive systems, and that’s helped us in the really close games,” Broekema said. “So moving forward, I think that it will be a really strong point in our success as a team. We have all

of the elements to have a really good season with this team.

We have some things that need to be fine-tuned, and once they are, we’ll be a tough team to beat. Everyone’s better this year, and that makes up for our loss of Tom.” The match was even tighter in the second set, with the Cougars hanging tough because of multiple kills from Brandon Langys, Cody Viertel and setter Adam Burt, while the Wild-

cats countered with multiple kills from Taylor Kegel, Luke Granat and Wuestenfeld.

South eventually grabbed leads of 19-18 and 20-19 on kills

by Nick Welter and Rhome Apton, but once again the hosts answered. Wuestenfeld got a kill, then served up an ace. A ball into the net and a wide hit gave Central another 23-20 lead.

After South closed to within a point following a long hit and a kill by Burt, the Wildcats wrapped up the match on consecutive kills by Rogman (seven kills, four blocks).

“I thought that South played a good game against us,” Rogman said. “I like how the season has been going so far. We’re all progressing, and coach Alex is helping us with that. Our defense is definitely a lot different than last year, and even though we still have to work on it, our defense and our blocking will definitely help. I like how well we click together, and if we keep our connection with our setter, I think we’ll have a really good season.”

AREA BASEBALL ROUNDUP

U. of St. Francis gets splits on consecutive days SUBMITTED REPORTS

JOLIET – University of St. Francis senior Adam Panayotovich and Robert Morris’ Kyle Bledsoe each posted a complete-game victory as the Saints and Eagles split a Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference baseball twin bill Tuesday at Silver Cross Field.

St. Francis took the opener, 9-1, before falling, 12-2, in the nightcap.

Panayotovich (9-1) scattered seven hits in seven innings. He collected nine strikeouts without issuing a walk. His third strikeout was the 300th of his career.

The game was tied, 1-1, until the Saints scored four runs in the bottom of the fifth.

After Cody Columbus (Joliet Catholic) was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded, Rick Faron drilled a bases-clearing double.

Columbus sparked another four-run outburst in the sixth with a two-run single. He scored the Saints’ final run on CJ Duffek’s hit. Columbus finished 2 for 3 with three RBIs. St. Francis (18-21, 14-6) scored its lone runs in the nightcap when Kyle Cunningham (JCA) delivered a tworun double down the left-field line. Brandon Mendoza had a bunt single in the opener to extend his hitting streak to 13 games, the longest by a USF player this season, before going hitless in three official atbats in Game 2.

The CCAC split was the second in two days for USF. St. Francis and host Trinity International split Monday as USF dropped the opener, 4-2, and won the nightcap, 9-6.

Mendoza, who had two RBIs in the first game, drove in four runs in the nightcap.

He had four hits on the day.

Kyle Burton went 3 for 3 in Game 2 with two RBIs, and Jon Debowey doubled in a pair of runs. Mike Chimera (23) went seven innings to earn the win. Dan Darling (Coal City) notched his second save.

GIRLS SOCCER: KANELAND 1, MORRIS 0

By ROB OESTERLE roesterle@shawmedia.com

• Wednesday, April 15, 2015

MORRIS – It can be difficult for a team to walk away from a loss with positive feelings.

Morris’ 1-0 loss Tuesday to Northern Illinois Big 12 rival Kaneland was one such occasion.

The Redskins did almost everything they wanted to do, except come out on the winning end.

Morris (5-2, 0-2) played the Knights to a scoreless tie in the first half. The Redskins had a few scoring opportunities in the first 40 minutes, including a shot by Emily Burling that was saved. Although it appeared that the ball went over the goal line, it was not ruled as a goal.

The game went back and forth as each team’s defense stifled any threat from the other.

Finally, with 26:31 remaining, players got caught up in a wild scramble in front of the Morris net, with Redskin goalie Maren Bashor making at least three saves.

The Redskins kept the ball clear of the goal, but Kaneland’s Kiandra Powell got off a shot that bounced off the right goal post and went in.

“We anticipated that this was going to be our toughest game of the season,” Morris coach Kristen Porter said.

“They beat us last year, 3-0 and 4-0. I am very proud of the way the girls played tonight. We asked them to give 110 percent, and they did.

“Maren Bashor did a great job in goal tonight. She made a lot of nice saves and kept it

Morris’ Summer Shaw sends a ball toward the goal in a 1-0 loss to Kaneland on Tuesday in Morris. together back there.”

Morris pressured Kaneland throughout the second half but never found the back of the net. Summer Shaw and Amanda Grant had goal shots from direct kicks that were saved, and Burling and Addison Polite performed a give-and-go sequence that resulted on a shot going just wide of the net. In the final 10 minutes, Katherine Gallick had three shots, two of which

were saved and one that went wide.

However, after a 6-0 loss to Sycamore last week, Porter saw miles of improvement from her team, which travels to Yorkville on Thursday.

“That last game, we did not play very well,” she said. “Tonight, we came out in the first five to 10 minutes and made a statement. They weren’t expecting us to be as aggressive as we were, and we kept it up

the whole game. It was so exciting to see our girls play so well. This is a game that we could have won; but for them to play so well, I am very proud of them. This is the best I have seen the team play, so, even with a loss, we can take a lot away from this game that’s positive.”

One of the positive notes is the team is back to full strength. Shaw returned from an injury to bolster the de-

fense, and other players returned from injuries and vacations as well.

“It was good to have us at full strength finally,” Porter said. “We have lots of good subs, too, and everyone that was on the field played well.

The girls were communicating out there, and the captains did a good job of motivating them. If we can keep playing like this, there’s good things ahead.”

BLACKHAWKS PLAYOFF PREVIEW: GAME 1 AT NASHVILLE, 7:30 P.M. WEDNESDAY

By TERESA M. WALKER The Associated Press

Blackhawks vs. Predators Game 1: Wednesday at Nashville, 7:30 p.m. (NBCSN, CSN) Game 2: Friday at Nashville, 8:30 p.m. (NBCSN, CSN) Game 3: Sunday at the United Center, 2 p.m. (NBC) Game 4: Tuesday at the United Center, 8:30 p.m. (NBCSN, CSN) Game 5: April 23 at Nashville, TBA* (CSN) Game 6: April 25 at the United Center, TBA* (NBC) Game 7: April 27 at Nashville, TBA* (CSN) * – if necessary make our own way come tomorrow night,” Laviolette said.

“There’s been teams that won nine out of 10 down the stretch and lost in the first round and vice versa. There’s no set rule to it. History has proven that, ultimately, your team has to play well on Wednesday night and through the first round to advance.”

Some things to watch: KANE’S BACK: The Hawks right wing has been cleared not only weeks ahead of his original timetable with a broken collarbone, but he will play

Wednesday night.

WE MEET AGAIN: This will be the second playoff series between these rivals and first since 2010. The Hawks won that in six games in a series remembered in Nashville as the one that got away. The Predators were up, 4-3, with 63 seconds left while on a five-minute power play in Game 5 in Chicago. Kane tied it up with 13.6 seconds left, and Marian Hossa scored the game winner.

EXPERIENCE FACTOR: Plenty of Hawks remain from those championship rosters, and

they also went seven games losing the Western Conference finals to Los Angeles last year. This is Nashville’s first playoff series since losing the 2012 Western semifinals to Arizona in five games. The Predators have only five players left from that 2010 series with the Hawks, with two – defenseman Cody Franson and forward Mike Santorelli – brought back by trade in February.

HOW’S RINNE? Nashville goaltender Pekka Rinne will determine how far the Predators go this postseason after tying for second in the NHL with his 41 wins while ranking among the league’s leaders with a 2.18 goals-against average and a .923 save percentage. But he gave up some goals he usually snags during the team’s skid.

NASHVILLE ICE: The Predators had the best home record in the Western Conference this season, going 28-9-4. They also set a franchise record by selling out 30 games.

Bulls want Mirotic to stay confident, aggressive

By BRIAN MAHONEY The Associated Press NEW YORK – Nikola Mirotic still sometimes makes a rookie mistake.

Not the kind that often trips up first-year players. There are no complaints from the Bulls about his defense or his work ethic.

The problem is that Mirotic has the green light and doesn’t always take it.

“I hate when he hesitates.

Hate it when he hesitates,” Derrick Rose said. “But I think he’ll grow out of it.”

Adds coach Tom Thibodeau: “I don’t want him hesitating. That’s the only thing I get concerned with, is if he hesitates. I want him to let it go.”

And the way Mirotic shoots, that’s understandable.

He shoots it so well, he’s a leading candidates for rookie of the year.

The Serbian forward who

arrived in the NBA by way of the Spanish league proved again how valuable he is during Monday night’s game in Brooklyn, when he made six 3-pointers and scored 26 points in a 113-86 victory that guaranteed the Bulls home-court advantage in the first round of the playoffs.

“With Niko on the floor, it’s like another dimension, because the way that he spaces the floor,” Rose said.

Yet Mirotic, who averaged 20.8 points in March and led the NBA in fourth-quarter scoring for the month – LeBron James and Russell Westbrook ranked second and third – still needed a reminder to fire away.

“First half, in the locker room, some of my players, they told me like, ‘Niko, don’t think, just shoot the ball, because you are wide open. Don’t pump fake,’” Mirotic said.

“These guys, they are right, I just need to shoot. Because

Other rookie of the year

candidates such as Minnesota’s Andrew Wiggins or Philadelphia’s Nerlens Noel may have had better individual seasons, but no first-year player has been more important to a winning team.

Mirotic is averaging 10.1 points as one of two Bulls to appear in all 81 games and has reminded Thibodeau of New Orleans center Omer Asik, who played a reliable role when he was with the Bulls.

“Obviously, they’re different players, but they’re both very serious-minded,” Thibodeau said. “It’s important to them. Great drive, great intelligence, and those type of guys always get better.

“And as I said, I think it goes back to who he is and the way he approaches things.

And he wants to get better, and he’s never satisfied. So if he has a good game, he’s not having a parade. He comes in the gym, and he works and that’s what he should do.”

Mirotic was selected in the first round in 2011 by the Houston Rockets, who dealt his rights to Minnesota. He was later acquired by the Bulls but continued to star for Real Madrid, winning MVP of the 2014 Spanish Cup final. He came to the NBA this season and quickly proved himself by winning Eastern Conference rookie of the month in December, but his true value to the Bulls was shown when they were short-handed last month.

His 136 fourth-quarter points were 37.1 percent of Chicago’s total, and three times in March he came off the bench to collect 28 points and eight rebounds.

Much of that success came as a power forward, where the 6-foot-10 Mirotic has an advantage on the perimeter. That was the case Monday, when starting center Joakim Noah sat out with a hamstring injury and was replaced by backup big man Taj Gibson.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The Blackhawks and Nashville Predators certainly can agree how they finished the regular season doesn’t matter now that it’s the postseason.

With two Stanley Cup titles in the past five years, the Hawks believe they know exactly what how ramp up their game for playoff intensity.

Center Brad Richards said it’s not as if the Hawks haven’t done it before. He said everyone knows what the pace will be and the level needed in Game 1 on Wednesday in Nashville of their opening series.

“Now it comes down to execution,” Richards said. “You have to prepare yourself best you can to execute, and hopefully that goes our way.”

The Hawks lost their final four games to end the regular season, while Nashville went 0-4-2 after clinching its first

playoff berth in three years.

The Hawks took the season series with three wins, but the teams last played Dec. 29.

Hawks coach Joel Quenneville doesn’t think much about how his team wrapped up the regular season with all four of those losses by a goal each.

He feels the team played well through those games knowing full well what is next and focused on getting healthy. They also ousted St. Louis in the first round last year after the Blues entered the postseason on a sixgame skid of their own.

Nashville coach Peter Laviolette keeps saying he thought his Predators played well through their stretch even if they didn’t get wins. That slide cost the Predators their first division title unexpectedly for a team that was either first or second in the West from Jan. 4 through March 13.

“Regardless, we’re past all of it whether it was good or bad; we’re going to have to

Indians’ Carrasco hit in face with line drive in loss

By TOM WITHERS The Associated Press CLEVELAND – Indians pitcher Carlos Carrasco was struck in the face by a line drive in the first inning and the White Sox’s Jose Quintana pitched six strong innings, leading the Sox to a 4-1 win Tuesday night.

Carrasco was carted off the field after Melky Cabrera – the second hitter – rocketed a shot up the middle that slammed the right side of the right-hander’s face. Carrasco (1-1) was lucky to get a piece of his glove on the ball before it smashed him.

The Indians said X-rays of Carrasco, the club’s No. 2 starter, were negative and he was being treated

Quintana (1-0) allowed three hits, struck out six and improved to 4-0 in 10 starts against the Indians, whose left-handed heavy lineup is struggling against lefthanders. David Robertson struck out the side in the ninth for his second save.

Jose Abreu hit his second homer in the fifth for a 4-1 lead, giving Quintana more cushion than he would need.

Cleveland managed just three hits and dropped its fourth straight.

Seven-Layer Mason Jar Salads AP photo

Too often, a salad is served out of obligation. We feel it is something we have to do to make the meal complete, but really don’t want to.

And, too often, that’s why the salads we serve aren’t all that great. We don’t really care about them.

Thing is, I love a well-made salad, and for me it is no obligation to either serve or eat one. This salad, for example, is a seven-layer creation built in a canning jar. I love how they look. I love how they taste. I even like the process of assembling them.

It’s basically a dressed-up version of a layered salad “casserole” that is popular in the South at picnics and barbecues. I prefer using baby iceberg lettuce, which is soft and buttery, more like Boston lettuce than mature iceberg. But you can use your favorite lettuce. I layer thawed frozen peas, shallots and celery on top of the lettuce before sealing it with the dressing and topping with a sprinkle of crispy pancetta.

You could add other “dry” vegetables, such as carrots, sliced radishes, English cucumbers, etc. Any vegetables that are crunchy and not too wet or too acidic will work. If you want to add tomatoes, slice and add to the top of the salad just before serving. Also great to add are nuts, seeds, dried fruit and croutons.

BAR NONE Salad doesn’t have to be on a bar or in a casserole to feed a crowd

Seven-Layer Mason Jar Salads

Start to finish: 15 minutes Servings: 4 1 head iceberg lettuce, or baby iceberg lettuce, chopped 2 shallots, cut into thin rings 10-ounce package frozen green peas, thawed and

drained 1 cup thinly sliced celery ½ cup light mayonnaise 2 scallions, chopped 1 tablespoon cider vinegar 1 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary 4 ounces of diced pancetta, cooked until just crisp 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

In the bottom of each Mason jar, layer a quarter of the lettuce, then the shallots, peas and celery, in that order.

In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, scallions, vinegar and rosemary, then spread a quarter of it over each salad.

Finish each salad with the crisped pancetta and Parmesan

cheese. Can be covered and refrigerated for up to 48 hours.

If refrigerated, let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before serving.

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

The vital, correct third hand high

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Tom Lehrer, a mathematician, singer-songwriter, satirist and pianist, said, “On my income tax 1040 it says ‘Check this box if you are blind.’ I wanted to put a check mark about three inches away.”

On tax day, let’s look at a deal many of my students find taxing.

First, look at only the West hand.

South opens one spade, West makes a takeout double, North jumps to four spades, and everyone passes. What should West lead?

Note North’s four-spade raise. With a weak hand, he follows the guidance from the Law of Total Tricks: with 10 combined trumps, bid to the 10-trick level.

West’s best opening lead is not obvious. If he is due to collect tricks with each of his honor cards, he should cash the spade ace, then exit with a diamond. Here, though, that does not work well. To have any chance West must lead a low club. Then, how should East-West play to defeat four spades?

Many years ago, I was asked: What is the one thing I teach my students that they never seem to get straight and I cannot understand why? This was my answer: Third hand’s playing the bottom of touching honors.

In this deal, when West leads his club two, East must play the jack, not the queen. Then, when South takes the trick with his ace, West knows that East must have the queen (otherwise, South would have won with the queen, not the ace). So, after West gets in with his spade ace, he should lead a second low club. This puts East on play for the fatal heart shift through South’s king-jack into the jaws of West’s acequeen. The defenders take one spade, two hearts and one club. ******

• Aim for a healthy weight. If you are overweight, losing just 5 percent to 10 percent of your starting weight can make a big difference in your blood pressure.

• Enliven your diet.

Add fruits and vegetables, whole grains, unsaturated fat and good protein (from beans, nuts, fish and poultry). Minimize or avoid processed foods, salt, refined carbohydrates, red meat and sugar-sweetened beverages.

• Drink alcohol in moderation. Limit yourself to one to two drinks a day for men, no more than one a day for women.

• Ease stress. Exercise, meditation, mindfulness and other techniques can ease stress and take a load off the heart and arteries.

One study does not typically change medical practice. Doctors have not yet started to routinely check blood pressure in both arms. Yet, while this study was well done, like most studies it had some limitations that the doctors conducting the study recognize.

What I think prudent is for blood pressure in both arms to be checked in any person who is at higher risk for heart disease and stroke.

Such risk factors include high blood pressure, diabetes, high total cholesterol or LDL (“bad”) cholesterol, smoking, and a parent or sibling who has atherosclerosis of the arteries to the heart and brain.

Dear Doctor K: At my last checkup, the doctor measured the blood pressure in both of my arms. Why? Dear Reader: Your doctor had an important reason: a big difference between the two readings can indicate an increased risk of cardiovascular disease.

Researchers at Harvard-affiliated Massachusetts General Hospital helped show the importance of measuring arm-to-arm differences in blood pressure.

The researchers measured blood pressure in both arms in nearly 3,400 adults age 40 or older with no signs of heart disease.

The average arm-toarm difference was about five points in systolic blood pressure (the top number).

About 10 percent of the study participants had differences of 10 or more points.

Over the next 13 years, people with arm-to-arm differences of 10 points or more were 38 percent more likely to have a heart attack, stroke or a related problem than those with arm-to-arm differences of fewer than 10 points.

Small differences in blood pressure readings between the right and left arm are normal. But larger pressure differences may be caused by artery-clogging plaque.

Having such plaque in the arteries that supply blood to the arms makes it more likely that arteries in the heart and brain also have such plaques, boosting the odds of having a heart attack or stroke.

If the pressure in one of your arms is higher, that arm should be the one upon which your doctor should base any treatments. That should also be the arm used to check your blood pressure in the future.

The following diet and lifestyle changes can help you improve your heart health: • Don’t smoke. Talk to your doctor about avail-

At first, I would let the caller or texter know that the person he/she was trying to reach no longer had this number.

However, it takes up my expensive minutes to make those replies. Am I under any obligation to contact these folks, or can I just ignore their contacts? – Polite

In Pennsylvania Dear Polite: No rule of

etiquette “compels” you to respond to these callers and texters, so consider yourself off the hook.

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

The Argyle Sweater

Dear Abby: I’m writing to warn as many other young women as I can about the dangers of unprotected sex. I thought I had met the man of my dreams. I knew from the beginning he had a girlfriend in his hometown, but he assured me he was breaking it off, so I didn’t think twice about starting a relationship.

Well, she moved here and found out about us. He swore to me there was no one else besides her and me. We have now discovered a third girl – his roommate – with whom he was involved.

Abby, he used no protection with any of us. He swore to us all that he always used it and was regularly tested for STDs. Another lie.

Now his former girlfriend thinks she may have picked up an STD from him, and we all have to be tested to ensure we don’t have one.

I now know you can’t trust anything you’re being told unless there’s proof. Go with the guy to get tested and demand to be there for the results. If you suspect (or know) he’s seeing someone else, always use protection and insist he be tested regularly.

All three of us could have saved our hearts, our bodies and a lot of turmoil if we hadn’t been so trusting. This has left a lasting impression, and now we wonder whether we will be able to trust another man again. – Awaiting
