By BOB OKON bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The Diocese of Joliet has agreed to pay $4.14 million to settle sex abuse claims made by 14 men, according to the law firms representing the plaintiffs.

The incidents occurred from the 1960s through the 1980s and involved five priests.

According to the diocese, the cases were settled between July and November, although the law firms announced the settlement Wednesday.

The diocese and law firms also had different counts on the lawsuits and parties involved. A spokesman for the diocese said 15 claims were settled for $4.19 million. The cases involved six priests and one lay teacher, according to the diocese.

The settlement includes four lawsuits filed in 2013 in Will County, with one alleging the diocese was aware of sexu-

al abuse committed by priests against boys at the former St. Charles Borromeo high school for boys interested in the priesthood in Romeoville.

The lawsuit specifically accuses then-Rev. Fred Lencyzcki of requiring a 15-year-old to undress to his underwear and put on a loincloth in imitation of Jesus Christ before fondling the boy.

Lencyzcki later served prison time for sexual abuse of children.

The incidents occurred when Bishops Romeo Blanchette and Joseph Imesch oversaw the diocese. None of the priests involved in the settlement are active. Imesch continues to serve the diocese as bishop emeritus. Blanchette has died.

“The problem with the diocese there is that Bishop Blanchette and Bishop Imesch knew these priests were bad priests,” plaintiffs’ attorney Mark McKenna said. “Their attitude was not to remove

the priests from children.

Their attitude was to move the priests to other parishes.”

McKenna said other priests involved in the cases were Lawrence Gibbs, Michael Gibbney, James Nowak and Myles White. The Will County lawsuits also name Gibbney, Nowak and White as defendants.

White, who also served prison time for sexual abuse, died in 2012.

Parishes attended by the accusers included St. Mary Nativity in Joliet, St. Dominic in Bolingbrook, St. Francis Assisi in Bolingbrook and St. Boniface in Monee.

The plaintiffs were represented by the Chicago-based firm of Hurley McKenna & Mertz and the Seattle-based firm of Pfau Cochran Vertetis Amala.

Hurley McKenna & Mertz successfully sued to force the Diocese of Joliet to release decades of documents in March 2013 showing what bishops

High schoolers lead village board in budget talks, firefighters contract

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com ROMEOVILLE – Romeoville High School students co-ran the workshop portion of the village’s board meeting for Student Government Day Wednesday night, which featured approval of the village’s operational budget and a negotiated firefighters contract.

Students involved with the Student Leadership Program at the high school were paired with Village Board members and department directors throughout Wednesday.

Student government

Junior Hevan Cruz spent Wednesday taking a tour of the village’s parks with the parks and recreation department.

At the meeting, students asked questions on the actual agenda items and gave their own staff reports.

Mayor John Noak said it was the first time the Village

Board was participating in the event in a couple of years.

Budget

The 2015-16 operating budget was passed at $91.2 million, a one percent decrease of $920,200 from last year. The corporate fund budget is at $46,503,300, a one percent decrease.

The village’s budget surplus from last year is at $1.6 million, but that could be wiped by Gov. Bruce Rauner’s plan to share municipalities’ income tax revenues with the state. For Romeoville, that would be a $1.9 million decrease with Rauner’s initial proposal.

“The budget accounts for a potential significant loss,” Noak said.

The water and sewer fund increased by 2 percent to $18,467,100. The village won’t introduce new fees, charges or taxes to residents, according to Gulden’s presentation.

The final 2014 tax levy stood at $13.2 million, or a 1.82 percent

increase from the 2013 levy. But Noak said there will be no increase for the typical homeowner in the village.

Firefighters contract

The last contract with the firefighters union expired on April 30, 2013, Fire Chief Kent Adams said.

The new three-year contract, retroactive to May 1, 2013, and ending on April 30, 2016, is the second one signed by the firefighters union, IAFF Local 4237. Adams said several items in the contract was clarified, including timelines for grievances.

The contract allows for a 2 percent raise across the board each year.

“We’re losing a lot of [young] firefighters year to year to other municipalities for higher salaries,” Adams said.

Starting salaries also were raised to $52,639.60 for zero to one year of experience as of May 1, 2013.

knew of priests abusing minors.

The four lawsuits filed in Will County followed the release of those documents. In three of the cases, the lawsuits say the plaintiffs memories of the incidents were repressed until February or March 2013.

The cases of the 10 other men involved in the settlement were negotiated with the diocese without ever going to court in the form of a lawsuit, McKenna said.

The diocese put out a statement saying: “None of the accused perpetrators, six priests and one lay teacher, currently serve within the Diocese of Joliet. Our diocese has no active clergy member that has any pending allegations.”

The statement also notes that the diocese lists the names of priests facing substantial allegations of abuse on its website, www.dioceseofjoliet. com, and said it “encourages all victims of childhood sexual abuse to come forward.”

Budget woes could lead to reductions, cutbacks at Boys & Girls Club

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Each weekday morning during the summer, a long line of teens and children wraps around the block along Eastern Avenue near Clinton Street in Joliet.

That’s the first place to look if anyone needs proof the Boys & Girls Club of Joliet plays a crucial role in the community, said Kahlil Diab, the club’s executive director.

“Schools are completely out.

In the summertime, they have to find somewhere to go,” Diab said. “Summer camps cost a lot of money, and the majority of kids we deal with, a lot of them can’t afford that.”

But the George Werden Buck Boys & Girls Club’s summer program is in jeopardy with Gov. Bruce Rauner’s recent suspension of $26 million in social services and public health grants. Rauner’s move is part of the new Republican governor’s attempt to fill a $1.6 billion gap in this year’s budget.

About $3.1 million of the targeted funds stems from the state’s Department of Human Services’ Teen REACH grant, which provides funding for sites, such as the Boys & Girls Club. The club receives a $60,000 annual Teen REACH grant used for staffing during the summer. Federal grant money also is drying up.

“When there’s talks of budget cuts, the Department of Human Services has a lot of history with being targeted first, and we understand that, but it’s never been to the degree that’s being targeted right now,” Diab said. “[Rauner] announced this while we’re preparing for our summer program. We start May 18.”

If nothing is done, Diab said he and parents face the daunting task of explaining to 400plus children there may not be a program. Without the money, he can’t afford to staff the build-

Lockport City Council approves new subdivision Mayor asks City Council to work on new committees

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com LOCKPORT – Lockport City Council approved a new subdivision that will pave the way for 231 homes for the city.

At Wednesday’s City Council meetings, city officials unanimously approved an amended and restated annexation agreement for the Sagebrook residential subdivision. They also unanimously approved the special use permit for the planned residential development, preliminary development plans and the rezoning of the subdivision.

Fourth Ward Alderman Denise Marynowski and Second Ward Alderman Kelly Turner were absent from the meeting.

Mayor Steven Streit said city officials made many amendments to the annexation agreement for the residents of nearby Karen Springs subdivisions.

“We tried to be sensitive to Karen Springs,” Streit said.

Residents from neighboring Karen Springs subdivisions opposed architectural plans for the homes in the new subdivision because they believed they would be incompatible with their own homes. They also were opposed to plans for use of vinyl siding with little masonry on the homes.

The passage of the annexation agreement was a disappointment, said Jim Petrakos, spokesman for Karen Springs residents and elected First Ward Alderman. He said there still are concerns

“We tried to be sensitive to Karen Springs.”

about the siding and materials for the homes.

“It won’t help with property values,” he said.

According to city records, staff resolved many residents’ concerns with park location and pond design for the subdivision. They also looked into issues regarding neighborhood connectivity, lot line alignment and building materials.

The Sagebrook residential subdivision is an 87-acre property west of Gougar Road, between 163rd and 167th streets. The developer of the subdivision is M/I Homes. A preliminary plan outlines the construction of 139 single-family homes and 92 town houses. Streit has said homes would start at $275,000.

New city committees

Streit proposed at Tuesday’s City Council meeting to think of new committees for staff, residents and themselves to participate in. He said he would like to see committees covering ethics, public safety, economic development and finance. These committees could address projects or city initiatives, he said.

“I’d really like you guys to be on top of some of the things,” he said.

Girl Scout Brownie Taylor Timm, 8, looks at the cupcakes she decorated Wednesday during a competition at American Legion Post 13 in Plainfield.

Girl Scout troops go head to head in Cupcake War More online

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – Eight-yearold Girl Scout Brownie troop member Taylor Timm was more preoccupied with the icing and sprinkles adhered to her fingertips than the cupcake she was supposed to be decorating during a Cupcake War competition Wednesday night.

“I love icing,” Taylor said while squeezing a mountain of yellow frosting onto a cupcake.

“I don’t know what I’m making.”

Taylor was among the more than 120 Brownie, Junior and Cadette members of the Plainfield Girl Scouts Service Unit 715 who participated in Wednesday night’s cupcake decorating event, held at the American Legion Marne Post 13 in Plainfield.

Scout members competed in three categories: Best Use of Material; Spring Flower; and Girl Scout/Merit Badgethemed. Callie’s Cuties – a nut-free bakery in Plainfield

– supplied the 250 cupcakes, along with sprinkles and edible glitter.

Bakery Owner Laura Meehan said girls who won would receive a free, two-hour private cake decorating lesson at Callie’s Cuties. Meehan said she was excited to take part in such a big event.

Tina Haynes, a troop leader in Plainfield, said she came up with the idea to put on the event. She said she thought it would be a fun thing for the girls to participate in.

Junior troop member Madeleine Brunker, 11, decorated one of her cupcakes with red and orange sprinkles to make a campfire.

“I want to see some of my friends win,” Madeleine said.

“I don’t really care to win. It’s just for fun.”

The judges included Plainfield Mayor Michael Collins and other Girl Scout troop leaders.

Some of the cupcakes were donated to the American Legion Marne Post 13, so guests could enjoy them during Bingo night on Thursday.

The lawsuit alleges time is deducted from their paychecks for breaks or lunches they don’t fully receive, Meinster said.

“You rob our checks. You lie, you cheat! Elite, Elite!” could be heard through megaphones as protesters confronted an employee trying to enter the building from Eastern Avenue near Cass.

The man, who wouldn’t offer his name or position, declined comment. Meinster notified the man of the protesters’ “constitutional right” to be out there.

“I know you’re not enjoying this,” Meinster said. “But people have a constitutional right.

We’re just exercising our right in a peaceful manner. It would be illegal to retaliate against anyone who is exercising their

right here today.

“I know you’re not going to do that,” he added. “But I just want to go on the record stating that. If, for some reason it does happen, we would take legal recourse.”

Eric Jefferson, one worker who didn’t participate in the protest, denied claims Elite withheld pay.

“I get paid,” Jefferson said.

“I have check stubs. I have proof.”

A representative at Elite Staffing’s Joliet location abruptly hung up the phone Wednesday when a Herald-News reporter identified herself. Repeated calls resulted in automatically being placed on hold.

A voice mail left at the Chicago corporate headquarters was not immediately returned Wednesday.

After the protest, workers boarded a bus to Chicago to join 10,000 low-wage workers from various sectors to demand $15-an-hour wages and the right to form a union.

JOLIET – Nearly three dozen warehouse workers who distribute cups for McDonald’s rallied Wednesday in downtown Joliet for higher wages while also alleging that Elite Staffing – a temp agency – stole workers’ wages.

The Joliet protest was part of a series of “Fight for $15” protests planned across the country – one of the biggest national pushes yet for a minimum wage hike.

Along with a call for higher wages, the rally served another purpose: To let Elite know workers filed a lawsuit in Cook County earlier that morning claiming they are not being compensated for all hours worked at packaging companies in Will and Cook counties.

Tara Anderson, 45, of Joliet was among those protesting outside the temp agency. She said she worked for Elite from August 2013 to December 2014

Joliet police: Sunday bar shooting suspect arrested

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com AURORA – Police have found the man accused of shooting a teenager during a gang-related brawl Sunday at a Joliet bar.

Anthony Luna, 26, was taken into custody by Aurora police about 2:30 p.m. Wednesday, Joliet Deputy Police Chief Al Roechner said.

“We received a tip he was in Aurora and arranged for that department to locate him,” Roechner said.

Luna was being sought on charges of attempted murder, mob action and aggravated battery.

Luna allegedly shot a 19-year-old man in the head and torso during a brawl at Los Diaz Bar & Liquors, 674

Meeker Ave. The victim remained in critical condition Wednesday morning at Silver Cross Hospital with life-threatening injuries, according to police reports.

The incident began about 7 p.m. when rival gangs encountered each other in the beer garden outside the bar, Roechner said.

Anthony Shortly after Luna the shooting, police stopped two cars in the area and matched the occupants to witness descriptions, Roechner said. Serafin Castellanos, 35, of Oswego, Anthony Grant, 19, of Aurora, Robby L. Patton, 25, of Aurora, Austin R. Runde, 26, of Aurora, Adrian Vega, 19, of

Aurora, and Marcos Briceno, 35, of Joliet, were arrested.

Arthur G. Jiminez, 27, of Aurora, also was identified as a suspect and picked up by Aurora police later that night.

Marcus T. Alexander, 30, of the 400 block of Oneida Street in Joliet, was located by Joliet tactical officers on Monday night.

Alejandro Lara-Leyva, 19, was picked up by Naperville police Tuesday night, Roechner said.

All of them are charged with aggravated battery and mob action.

Nicolas Pisano, 25, still is being sought on those charges.

Anyone with information on his whereabouts is asked to call police at 815-724-3020 or anonymously call Crime Stoppers at 800-323-6734.

Man arraigned for fatal 2009 DUI

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A man who authorities have accused of fleeing the state before being tried for a fatal crash six years ago has been arraigned.

Ramiro A. Alcantar, 41, was formally charged Wednesday morning with aggravated driving under the influence after a Spanish-language interpreter was brought to Judge Amy Bertani-Tomczak’s courtroom.

About 4:50 p.m. Aug. 16, 2009, Alcantar was reportedly driving a 1996 Dodge van west on Cass Street near Grinton

Avenue, Joliet police told The Herald-News at the time. The street was reduced to one lane in each direction because of construction.

Police said Alcantar’s van crossed over the double yellow line into the eastbound lane, where it struck a motorcycle head on, according to Herald-News files. Cesar Vallejo, 26, suffered head injuries and died a week later at Silver Cross Hospital.

After posting $5,000 bail, Alcantar failed to turn up for his first court appearance the following month and a warrant was issued for his arrest.

Plainfield man arrested after 2014 drug death

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com AURORA – A Plainfield man was arrested Friday in connection with the fatal overdose last year of a Plainfield woman.

Eric Ziarko, 21, was charged with drug-induced homicide, according to Kendall County Sheriff’s police.

Ziarko allegedly supplied narcotics that led to the fatal overdose of Karly Jackson, 20, on Dec. 6, authorities said.

Kendall County Sheriff’s deputies and Oswego police officers were called when Jackson was found unresponsive in the 1000 block of Route 30. Oswego paramedics took Jackson to Copley Hospital, where she was pronounced dead, according to police.

An autopsy conducted by the Kane County Coroner’s office showed Jackson died from methadone and citalopram intoxication.

Ziarko, of the 24300 block of Pheasant Chase Drive, was taken into custody by Plainfield police and released from jail Saturday after posting a $250,000 bond. He faces six to 30 years if convicted.

According to court records, Naperville police arrested Ziarko on Christmas Day on a charge of driving under the influence of alcohol.

In March 2012, Ziarko was arrested, along with two other people, by the Will County Cooperative Police Assistance Team. Tiffany N. Book used Ziarko as “her chauffeur” to obtain heroin in Chicago because her driver’s license was revoked, a CPAT agent told The Herald-News after the arrests.

Book and Ziarko each pleaded guilty to one count of delivery of drugs and were sentenced to probation. Ziarko’s probation was scheduled to end next month, according to court records.

THE SKYHOOK THE WINDMILL THE DISCOUNT DOUBLE CHECK

About 3:15 p.m. Feb. 18, Alcantar came into the emergency room of Northwest Medical Center in Springdale, Arkansas.

“He smelled intoxicated, asked for the police [and] said he was aware he had a warrant,” Springdale Police Lt. Derek Hudson said.

After being treated, Hudson was booked into the Washington County jail and transferred March 6 to Illinois.

According to jail records, the Department of Immigration and Naturalization Service has filed for custody of Alcantar if he is released.

Crest Hill man pleads guilty in child porn case

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A Crest Hill man has agreed to testify against his brother as part of a plea deal in a child pornography case.

Levi S. Castro, 29, pleaded guilty Wednesday to one count of possession of child pornography before Judge Sarah Jones.

LOCAL BRIEF No injuries in Joliet shooting incident

JOLIET – No one was injured when a car was shot at Wednesday afternoon in Joliet.

Joliet Deputy Police Chief Ed Gregory said the shooting occurred about 2:50 p.m. on Second Avenue just east of Richards Street.

As police cars blocked the street, an evidence technician was called to the scene and took pictures of a tan Buick sedan that was parked in a nearby driveway. Other officers questioned a young woman, who pointed from one side of the street to a neighboring lawn.

Gregory said there was no suspect information available Wednesday afternoon.

fore accepting his guilty plea.

“No, your honor,” he answered.

The Castro brothers were investigated after police found a child pornography file linked to their computer in October, Assistant State’s Attorney John Connor said.

They were arrested Dec. 19 after police executed a search warrant at their home in the 500 block of Theodore Street.

Levi Castro admitted to police he’d viewed the video his brother had downloaded of a man’s penis being placed in a toddler’s mouth, Connor said.

The brothers allegedly talked about kidnapping a mother and young daughter in order to kill the woman and rape the girl, but had not taken steps to

Is the time right for you to refinance your home loan?

SPONSORED BY

By C.R. Walker If you watch TV, listen to the radio, or use the Internet, you’ve likely been inundated with ads telling you now’s the time to refinance your home.

It may or may not be the right time though. If you choose to refinance, there are costs associated with doing it; therefore, you should ask yourself, “How long do I expect to live in my home?”

Will you remain in your home long enough to recover the closing costs? If so, then pursuing a refinance of your current mortgage is worthy of serious consideration.

Popular in today’s environment is to have the lender pay your closing costs. For a slightly higher than market rate, you may be able to refinance without adding on to your mortgage or having to pay your costs at the closing.

Ask your lender if this is a good option for you.

Contact the bank that currently holds your mortgage or contact a local mortgage lender such as MSI. You can call 815-207-8900 or visit 311 Vertin Blvd., in Shorewood to meet with one of their loan officers. It’s important to contact a mortgage lender such as MSI. A refinance may be done in less than 30 days, and you may soon be enjoying the benefits of a lower rate, shorter term, or cash out for debt consolidation or other purposes.

Make an appointment today with one of MSI’s loan officers by calling 815-207-8900 or dropping by 311 Vertin Boulevard, Shorewood, IL 60404.

Illinois Environmental Protection Agency Public Notice Proposed Issuance of a Federally Enforceable State Operating Permit Prairie Creek Grain Company in Elwood Prairie Creek Grain Company has applied to the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency for a federally enforceable state operating permit (FESOP) regulating air emissions from its grain elevator and bulk product handling facility located at 29400 South Route 53 in Elwood. The Illinois EPA has reviewed the application and made a preliminary determination that the application meets the standards for issuance and has prepared a draft permit for public review and comment.

The Illinois EPA is accepting written comments on the draft permit. Comments must be postmarked by midnight May 16, 2015. If sufficient interest is expressed in the draft permit, a hearing or other informational meeting may be held. Requests for information, comments, and questions should be directed to Jillian Hawkins, Office of Community Relations, Illinois Environmental Protection Agency, PO. Box 19506, Springfield, Illinois, 62794-9506, phone 217/782-7027, TDD phone number 217/782-9143, jillian.hawkins@illinois.gov.

The repositories for these documents and the application are at the Illinois EPA’s offices at 9511 West Harrison in Des Plaines, 847/294-4000 and 1021 North Grand Avenue East, Springfield, 217/782-7027 (please call ahead to assure that someone will be available to assist you). The draft permit and project summary may also be available at http://www.epa.gov/reg5oair/permits/ilonline.html. Copies of the documents may also be obtained upon request to the contact listed above.

The 1990 amendments to the Clean Air Act require potentially major sources of air emissions to obtain federally enforceable operating permits. A FESOP permit allows a source that is potentially major to take operational limits in the permit so that it is a non-major source. The permit will contain federally enforceable limitations that restrict the facility’s emissions to non-major levels. The permit will be enforceable by the USEPA, as well as the Illinois EPA. adno=0204687

Taxpayers United of America on Wednesday put a spotlight on pensions in Will County and Joliet.

The Chicago-based organization said 266 public school retirees are collecting pensions in six-figures, while listing pensions for hundreds of individual retirees from area schools, Will County, Joliet and Joliet Junior College.

Public school retirees had the highest pensions, with many of those listed going to former school superintendents, the highest being $303,000 a year.

Taxpayers United has created the same lists for other counties and the state of Illinois in pushing for changes in government pension systems.

Specifically, the organization wants new hires switched

to 401(k)-styled retirement accounts and current employees to contribute more money to their pensions.

Individual pensions are listed to draw attention to the state’s pension problems, said Jared Labell, operations director for Taxpayers United.

“I think people’s eyes still glaze over when you’re talking about $111 billion in unfunded liabilities,” Labell said. “We think it’s very helpful to be able to individualize it and put a name to it. Not so people can take up torches and go after their neighbors, but so they can look at it and say, ‘Wow, that’s the teacher who was teaching my son a few years ago and she’s making how much?’ ”

Craft, vendor fair supports soldiers at home, overseas

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A craft and vendor fair hosted by the local Military Mama Network scheduled for Saturday does more than raise money for care boxes to go to soldiers at home and overseas.

“It’s about showing them they aren’t forgotten,” said Geriann Wiesbrook, founder of the military support group.

The fair, which features a raffle, door prizes, hot food and a full service bar, runs from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday at American Legion Harwood Post 5, 705 S. Larkin Ave., Joliet.

About 55 crafters and vendors will set up booths and tables with items for sale. Those sellers contributed about 40 items for a raffle, with proceeds going to the Military Mama Network’s outreach ef-

If you go Q What: Craft and vendor fair to benefit soldiers Q When: 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Saturday Q Where: American Legion Harwood Post 5, 705 S. Larkin Ave., Joliet forts.

People wishing to attend are encouraged to donate money and products, including toiletries and other items soldiers may use. Donations that can’t go overseas will help soldiers in the United States.

The Military Mama Network also has formed a partnership with Family and Friends Transitional Veterans Home for homeless veterans.

Wiesbrook started Military Mama Network in Joliet two

years ago. It has become a multinational organization, with chapters in 42 states and four countries, Wiesbrook said.

The organization doesn’t just gather donations.

“We’ve helped do birthday parties and sponsored Christmas parties for them,” said Wiesbrook, whose son was appointed to the U.S. Military Academy at Westpoint last year. “We try to find out who can help [a veteran]. Otherwise, we try to fill the gaps as much as we can.”

Soldiers have teared up because they felt so appreciated after receiving packages and reading letters, Wiesbrook said.

If Saturday’s fair and another fundraiser in May raises enough money, Wiesbrook said she will start producing webinars to help people in other areas across the world set up more chapters of the group.

Q What to do: Wildflower hikes, garlic mustard picking, crafts and games using recycled items, parakeet and parrot exhibit Pilcher Park naturalists, who will show how to use the plant in a dip.

One of the problems with garlic mustard is that it chokes out the wildflowers in Pilcher Park, Zaban said.

Those interested in wildflowers can join one of the wildflower hikes conducted during the event.

Bird enthusiasts may want to check out the forest. Or they can visit with parakeets and parrots brought in by one of the Pilcher Park employees.

The Earth Day celebration is one of a number of programs being offered at the Nature Center to bring in more people. On Oct. 3, Pilcher Park is bringing back “Changing of the Leaves Fall Festival.” One of the most popular events at the park, Fairy Fest, will be May 2.

JOLIET – An Earth Day celebration Saturday at Pilcher Park Nature Center will offer visitors the chance to pick garlic mustard, take a wildflower hike and perhaps even talk with a parrot.

It may be the first Earth Day celebrated at Pilcher Park, Nature Center Manager Katie Zaban said. No one who works there remembers it being done before, she said.

“This is one of our new programs. It’s free,” Zaban said.

The Earth Day celebration is noon to 3 p.m. at the Nature Center in Pilcher Park, located on Highland Park Drive off of Route 30 in Joliet.

You can pick all the garlic mustard you want without paying a cent. Pilcher Park management is glad to get rid of it.

“It has so many seeds,” Zaban said. “It takes over.

Now it’s an invasive species.”

Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts and others needing volunteer hours are welcome during the garlic-mustard picking, Zaban said. Anyone looking for a new taste sensation may be interested in a demonstration conducted by one of the

Funds frozen for JJC project

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – State funds have been frozen for interior work to the downtown Joliet Junior College building, but college officials plan to continue paying for it.

JJC officials learned last week that $10 million – of $25.5 million – promised for the City Center campus project by the state would be placed on hold by the Governor’s Office of Management and Budget, JJC Spokeswoman Kelly Rohder said.

“We were very surprised by the news,” she said.

She said funding for capital projects for other community colleges also was frozen.

In response, the JJC Board of Trustees approved a measure at its meeting Tuesday to use money earmarked for other projects – such as classroom upgrades and campus technology – for the interior work at the City Center building.

“We can’t let the campus

project stagnate, plain and simple,” Rohder said.

She said JJC will continue the downtown building construction work, but placing the money originally promised by the state on hold will have “critical consequences” for other capital projects. JJC had followed all requirements for the project, she said.

Rohder said JJC officials hope the $10 million will eventually be released and the college would be reimbursed for the project.

Last year, exterior work on the 96,000-square-foot City Center building was completed. The building, located at Chicago and Clinton streets, will house the adult education and literacy department, workforce development and the culinary arts program.

In an email statement, Catherine Kelly, Gov. Bruce Rauner’s spokeswoman, wrote that Rauner inherited a fiscal crisis on his first day in office, and ordered a

day the college’s budget for fiscal 2016, which begins July 1. Rohder said there were no changes to the budget before final approval.

The budget is projected to be balanced, with revenues and expenses at about $87 million.

The budget projects no increases in tuition or enrollment, as well as a 2.3 percent increase in property taxes.

“It’s something we’re very proud of even in tough economic times,” Rohder said.

“We’ve been able to do that while simultaneously being responsible to taxpayers and students.”

By Denise Freese If you’ve been diagnosed with varicose veins or spider veins, you want to invest your time and resources in the treatment that will give you the best result. The severity of your condition will help determine what is necessary to resolve the issue; a consultation with a vein specialist is the first step in the process.

If you are experiencing pain or heaviness in your legs, the first step would be to try compression stockings. These stockings fit tightly around the legs, exerting more pressure at the ankle than at the top. This allows blood to move upward and helps keep it from pooling in the legs, according to www.veinandlasercenter-us.com.

Your doctor will prescribe stockings for you with the most safe, effective pressure for you. Maternity sizes are available.

Dr. Darbandi, with the Vein & Laser Center in Joliet, IL, offers a variety of treatments that are geared for a specific result. For facial spider veins, or spider veins

on the legs, sclerotherapy is the technique that is typically used.

Performed in a short office visit, and often painless, sclerotherapy involves injecting the problem vein(s) with a chemical that causes the blood vessel to close up and eventually disappear, being reabsorbed by the body. Non-invasive laser treatments are also available to treat spider veins.

If your varicose veins are larger, more noticeable, and more problematic (very painful, with swelling and feelings of heaviness and restlessness in the legs), other treatments can address the condition. Endovenous ablation uses heat to treat the veins; it’s less invasive than stripping surgery, and involves only needle punctures, not incisions. Normal activities can be resumed soon after the procedure.

The best place to start is to have a consultation with a vein specialist. Dr. Darbandi is a board-certified surgeon with many years of experience with vein issues. Contact him to learn about the treatments that would be best for your condition.

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – An open house Wednesday at the Plainfield Public Library District wasn’t so much a showcase of the library today, but what it could be in the future.

And staff didn’t show what the library has to offer as much as gather ideas from residents for a potential expansion or relocation.

“This is an initial brainstorming for the future,” Director Julie Milavec said. “It’s a kickoff to the planning process.”

He also said libraries should be supported because they are critical resources for collaboration, learning and society.

Space needs

The library’s lack of space for services has been a

long-running problem.

In 2009, the library asked voters for permission to take out $30 million in bonds through a referendum to solve overcapacity issues at the time, which was unsuccessful.

To take advantage of the expected larger voter turnout,

library officials are aiming at a referendum in the spring of 2016.

They already have started to plan for it. The library board hired CCS International Inc. as a consultant to identify space needs. And it expected to hire Nagle Hartray as an architect Wednesday night.

Board President Sharon Kinley said the only sure thing for a 2016 referendum at this point is the library would ask residents for funding for construction of one building. The location, and whether the new structure would be an addition or a totally new library, has yet to be decided.

“The operational costs would be too much,” Kinley said of building a second branch.

• Thursday, April 16, 2015

The open house gave residents and patrons a look at what innovative ideas other libraries are implementing, such as digital studios and maker spaces, performance auditoriums, teen and early literacy spaces and dedicated meeting, classroom and quiet spaces.

Two out of the four sessions

this week already happened.

There was an open house from 6 to 8 p.m. Tuesday and 1 to 3 p.m. Wednesday. But two sessions remain – 10 a.m. to noon Thursday and Saturday.

Each person entering the library’s small conference room Wednesday was handed a pamphlet explaining the need for more library space and three stickers to put on idea posters visitors thought would be most beneficial for the library.

“I come to the library every other day and I’m very willing to give input,” Plainfield resident Heather Kazmark said at the open house. She heard about the event at a job club held on the first floor, she said.

She said she put her three stickers on dedicated open areas, teen spaces and quiet spaces, noting that the library doesn’t have the space for a dedicated quiet space.

Plainfield resident Jim Rodriguez also found a need for a quiet space at the library.

Suiting up for NFL Draft

Chicago not releasing video of shooting involving officer

CHICAGO – Months after a teenager was shot 16 times by a Chicago police officer, the city still is refusing to release the dash-cam video of the fatal shooting and didn’t even show it to aldermen Wednesday before they approved a $5 million settlement with the family.

The October 2014 shooting death of Laquon McDonald hasn’t generated the same kind of national attention as other recent high-profile confrontations involving officers.

Authorities said McDonald was wielding a knife and refused to drop it when officers followed him for several blocks. Another officer who responded to a call for backup fired the fatal shots.

That officer, who hasn’t been identified, has been stripped of his police powers and put on desk duty, but no decision has been made on whether he’ll face criminal charges.

Although the city’s attorney had cited the video in arguing for approval of the settlement, Mayor Rahm Emanuel said Wednesday that police and the FBI are withholding it because it is “central to their investigation.”

Schock donor sues ex-congressman, seeks reimbursement

SPRINGFIELD – Former U.S. Rep. Aaron Schock’s legal problems expanded Wednesday as a contributor sued to force the repayment of millions of campaign dollars, saying he was tricked into believing the young lawmaker who has since resigned amid questions about his spending was “a breath of fresh air” in a corruption-riddled state.

The unusual lawsuit filed

Oversized NFL football helmets are displayed in Pioneer Court on Wednesday in downtown Chicago as the city prepares to host the NFL draft from April 30 to May 2.

by Howard Foster, a Chicago lawyer who pitched in just $500 to Schock, cites Illinois’ long history of political and financial shenanigans – from a pre-Civil War governor to former U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr.’s recent prison term for misusing campaign funds – and plants Schock among them in claiming his fundraising arm was a corrupt racket.

One election law expert said he’s never seen such a lawsuit and predicted legal obstacles.

Foster anted up “because he believed Mr. Schock was ethical, a breath of fresh air in Illinois politics, and had a bright future in Congress,” the lawsuit, filed in federal court in Chicago, states. “However, the opposite was true, and while Schock may have been a new, young face in Congress, he willingly followed well-tread paths of political sleaze for personal gain.”

Documents: Six venues bid for U of Ill. basketball games

CHAMPAIGN – Documents indicate six venues put in offers to host home games that will be played in Springfield for the displaced University of Illinois men’s basketball team.

Venues in Bloomington, Hoffman Estates, Moline, Peoria and Rockford also sent in proposals to host the team for five November home games while the State Farm Center in Champaign is being renovated.

The university ultimately gave the contract to host the games to Springfield’s Prairie Capital Convention Center, which is paying $325,000 a game and would pay a $100,000 bonus if all the games sell out. The center will keep ticket revenue, as well as money made from concessions and merchandise sales.

Report: Small plane changed course before deadly crash

CHAMPAIGN – A preliminary report on the airplane crash that killed seven people near Bloomington confirms the pilot unexpectedly changed course as he approached the airport.

Wednesday’s National Transportation Safety Board report on the April 7 crash doesn’t indicate why pilot Thomas Hileman flew higher and turned as he neared the runway. The pilot showed no signs of distress in radio transmissions.

The plane was returning from the NCAA basketball championship in Indianapolis. Those killed included Hileman, Illinois State University assistant basketball coach Torrey Ward and athletic administrator Aaron Leetch.

The investigation continues and the final report could take 12 to 18 months.

Rauner extends tax return deadline for tornado victims

SPRINGFIELD – Gov. Bruce Rauner has extended tax return deadlines for residents affected by last week’s tornado and severe weather in parts of DeKalb and Ogle counties.

Victims of the tornado will now have until Oct. 31 to file tax returns that were due Wednesday.

The extension is meant to provide relief to individuals and local businesses trying to file returns or payments while recovering from the storms.

Rauner said the devastated communities should be focusing on recovery instead of deadlines.

He said the affected families and businesses should file and pay taxes after they’ve had time to recuperate.

With Iran deal, Washington shows it can work – sometimes

By JULIE PACE and DEB RIECHMANN The Associated Press WASHINGTON – For at least a few days, Washington actually may have worked.

Republicans and Democrats talked to each other.

President Barack Obama and several members of his administration conversed with lawmakers, too. As a result, a Senate committee unanimously backed legislation to give Congress a say in the Iran nuclear talks. In the biggest surprise of all, the White House said Obama would sign the measure if it passed the full Congress.

For a capital city long stalled in gridlock, with the priorities of Republicans and Democrats rarely overlapping, it was a rare burst of bipartisanship – even if neither side wanted to admit it.

It took Obama spokesman Josh Earnest 45 minutes of questions from reporters before he acknowledged Tuesday that the president would sign the new Iran legislation.

Even then, he said the White House wasn’t “particularly thrilled” with the outcome.

Republicans said the White House got boxed in when administration officials realized they would lose if it came down to a vote on a tougher Iran measure.

“I know there’s been some changes in the administration’s position,” said Republican Bob Corker, the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. “That change occurred when they saw how many senators were going to vote for this, and only when that occurred.”

Whether it was compromise or capitulation, it was the legislative process in action – something that Washington hasn’t seen much of in the past few years.

The agreement helps Obama keep alive his hopes for a legacy-building nuclear deal. And it spares him – for

The U.S. and its negotiating partners – Britain, France, Germany, Russia and China – reached a framework agreement with Iran on April 2 and have until June 30 to finalize an accord that aims to curb Iran’s nuclear program in exchange for relief from U.S. and international sanctions.

Obama argued that Corker’s original legislation risked endangering a potential deal and leaving the U.S. to blame.

The president had pledged to veto Corker’s proposal that would give Congress 60 days to review any final nuclear accord. That original proposal also would have required the president to certify that Iran was not directly supporting or carrying out terrorism against the U.S. or Americans anywhere in the world, a tall order that the administration staunchly opposed.

As Congress prepared to

return to Washington this week after a spring break, administration officials held numerous briefings and oneon-one discussions with lawmakers. Obama called Corker, as well as Maryland Sen. Ben Cardin, the top Democrat on the Foreign Relations Committee.

Despite all that, Corker and Cardin were still trying to stitch together a compromise Tuesday morning.

Shortly before noon, Secretary of State John Kerry was in a closed-door meeting with lawmakers, still making the administration’s case against the bill.

But a compromise was gaining support. The committee voted 19-0 to approve it and Corker and Cardin, both smiling, exited a hearing room and stepped before TV cameras.

The new congressional agreement doesn’t look too different from Corker’s initial proposal, though the White House and some Democrats touted what they called important changes.

Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., said the changes made the legislation “benign.”

staff members and the number of children the club serves.

“How do you even begin to decide which kids can come and which kids can’t?” Diab said.

“I don’t know what we’re going to do.”

Programs in jeopardy

The summer program provides children ages 6 to 18 with a safe place to go, two meals a day and recreational activities from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday.

The club is one of 45 partner agencies that receives money through United Way of Will County – a nonprofit that serves as a funding arm for many county charities and social service agencies. The club’s total operating budget for the current fiscal year stood at about $657,000, with $181,000 from United Way, said Mike Hennessy, president and CEO for the nonprofit.

Hennessy said he anticipates United Way will fall short of its $3.76 million fundraising goal this year, although agency requests are up 15 percent.

That means fewer dollars available.

The Boys & Girls Club requested $200,000 from United Way in the coming budget year, Hennessy said, making up almost 50 percent of next year’s projected budget of $404,310.

Hennessy said he anticipates United Way’s contributions could be cut even further next year.

“This is unfortunately the similar story we are hearing from a number of our partner agencies that receive a portion, in some cases a significant portion, of their annual operating budget from the state of Illinois,” Hennessy said in an email.

Catherine Kelly, a spokeswoman for Rauner, said the governor’s suspension of the funding is to fill a $1.6 billion hole in this year’s budget inherited from former Gov. Pat Quinn.

“Pat Quinn enacted a budget with a $1.6 billion hole that needs to be closed, which the governor is doing ... without borrowing or increasing taxes. The legislation passed by the General Assembly is not a

The state’s budget woes are causing headaches for many.

Catsha George’s two daughters, Victoria, 6, and Elizabeth, 9, are involved in the club’s after-school program. She and her husband work full time, so they have few options if her children can no longer attend.

Day care is too costly, she said.

“It’s going to be very difficult. Right now, there are no other options. My husband would have to close shop early, to be with the kids,” George said. “They certainly won’t be around all the friends they’ve made. They’ll end up sitting in front of the television.”

Program cuts would result in more people on the street, and, in turn, more crime, Joliet Police Chief Brian Benton said.

serving as a safe haven for the community since 1951 – plays a vital role during the summer, when gang violence and other crimes tend to escalate, he said.

“It would certainly have a ripple effect, especially when you’re talking about at-risk youth in the lower socioeconomic areas,” Benton said. “It really does have an impact on crime. ... There’s the temptation of joining a gang or being victimized by one.”

Situated at the corner of Clinton Street and Eastern Avenue near Joliet Central High School, the Boys & Girls Club also finds itself in the heart of various Joliet gang turf boundaries, Diab said.

“We happen to be right in the mix of it. There’s fights that break out right in our backyard,” Diab said.

Elijah Fox, 17, of Joliet said he frequents the club with his younger brother and sister.

When he’s not at the club, he’s helping out around the house with his mother and siblings.

He lives near the Forest Park neighborhood on the far northeast side, an area known as “The Hill” and for its high concentration of shooting incidents. Fox said the club has kept him from getting involved with area gangs.

“The club keeps me out of trouble,” said Fox, who’s been a member since he was 6. “I’ve lost some friends to gangs [and] gang violence.”

Observing Easter abroad and at home VIEWS Kathryn Jean Lopez “ISIS is an army of the devil,” the Rev. Dankbar Issa, a Chaldean monk, tells the charity group Aid to the Church in Need. “There is no other explanation for what they are doing to people,” he said just after Palm Sunday Mass.

He and his fellow monks fled their monastery of St. George last summer.

While Issa worries deeply about the prospects of the children and their families who have been forced from their homes by the Islamic terrorist group, he does not bemoan their lot and is not bitter. “We Christians were baptized into the suffering of our Lord. So persecution is something we have to expect,” he told the crowd.

“We know that Easter, which means life, will be victorious. It gives us hope in spite of all the difficulties.”

Archbishop Bashar Warda, of the city of Erbil in Iraq’s Kurdistan region, reports to Aid in the Church in Need that he sees Christian families leaving Iraq every day, even as “the humanitarian situation has since stabilized,” allowing relief efforts to focus on proper schools and accommodations for those who fled their homes on account of ISIS. Alejandro Bermudez, a Peruvian-born journalist who runs the Spanish language ACI Prensa and Catholic News Agency, went over to Iraq to be with the persecuted for Easter. There he found Christians helping others whose lives have been irrevocably changed by the terror of ISIS. About 450,000 Yazidi – a small religious minority that ISIS considers devil worshippers – are described as “the poorest of the poor” by a Shelan Jibrael, a

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

Christian Iraqi who works with a Japanese NGO. They have “nothing and nobody,” she says.

Jibrael intends to enlist the aid of Slovakian doctors who have set up a clinic nearby. Dr. Zuzana Dudova observes the few practical options available to the many displaced Christians: “The men try to find work so they can move into a single-family home, but there are few opportunities, and the lack of security makes going back impossible in the short term.”

Meanwhile, on Easter Sunday in the United States, the morning press shows focused on the obvious news story of the day: Christ’s resurrection. This meant some airtime given to clerics and religious reflection – and with real palpable policy implications, as a frenzied debate surrounding religious freedom continues here at home, most notably in Indiana. The connection between Indiana and Iraq seemed lost on many.

While petty religious bickering divides us at home, the real meaning and value of Christianity is abundantly clear abroad, if only we were paying attention.

The Christians in Iraq and those who make pilgrimages there remind us of Jesus’ love, suffering and sacrifice, and our duty to imitate all three. That is not to make us feel good, but an invitation to truly know God, and live as the Gospels say; it is a challenging way and not one for comfortable categories that keep us ideologically secure.

Christians fleeing their homes and flocking to help the displaced show us the radical call of the love that was demonstrated on the cross, the whole point of Holy Week. They show us Christian hope. They live Easter every day.

Human Service investments also make good fiscal sense While granted a small GUEST reprieve for FY 2015, human VIEW service programs across the state once again will face significant cuts in the state budget as Illinois rightly tries to put its fiscal house in order.

Yet critical services to at-risk populations hang in the balWendy ance, as do long-term repercusDuBoe sions for the state’s economy.

The decisions made by state leaders over the next few months on details of human service policy and funding will have an impact on our future Mark economic health as surely as unfunded pensions do today.

Burton As a society, we invest in human services – education, health, job training, child care – to ensure a basic quality of life for our most vulnerable citizens, and to improve the economic future of our families and our state. The first we do to help those most in need in our communities; the second we do as an investment with genuine return on investment for the future. Early education is an area where most people fundamentally understand that funding for preschool and early learning pays off handsomely down the line for our youth. All of society benefits.

Yet “early intervention” to avoid cascading negative consequences applies to far more than preschool. Targeted services to help the elderly or disabled stay in their

homes is far less expensive to society than institutionalization. Access to preventative health services and screenings is much less costly than dealing with untreated and full-blown health episodes. Providing after-school programs to at-risk youth is a small price to pay when weighed against the alternatives, including the astronomical costs of incarceration. These investments provide a moral dividend that is obvious, and an economic one we risk jettisoning without thoughtful decision-making.

We realize government cannot, and should not, fulfill our human service infrastructure needs alone. Sustaining quality and efficient human services in our state will require a collaborative effort among government, civic and private sectors, but private philanthropy never can play the primary role financially that the government plays.

State leaders have human services expertise available to them, including United Way’s significant experience working with partners to focus and leverage resources.

With an emphasis on prevention, integration of services and measurable and meaningful outcomes, we and others in the nonprofit sector look forward to working with state leaders to effectively balance budget requirements and human needs.

BOYS VOLLEYBALL: JOLIET CATHOLIC 2, JOLIET WEST 0 (25-21, 25-19)

JCA tops Joliet West in key showdown

cherron@shawmedia.com JOLIET – There was more at stake than just local bragging rights when the boys volleyball teams from Joliet Catholic Academy and Joliet West met Wednesday.

With both entered in a rugged Minooka Regional that figures to be just as competitive as last year’s field at West, any head-to-head win is critical.

In a nonconference clash of once-beaten teams at JCA, the Hilltoppers got the upper hand in both sets and kept the Tigers from staging any late comebacks as they captured a 25-21, 25-19 victory.

Both sides had been unbeaten since falling to unbeaten Lincoln-Way West in the Tigers’ tournament on the first weekend of the season. Beside its most recent win, JCA (10-1) also owns a come-from-behind win over Lockport and two victories over Plainfield South among regional teams.

“Our goal is to be the No. 1 seed in the regional so that we don’t have to play three days in a row,” JCA coach Rhyen Staley said. “This gives us a good footing, and hopefully we can continue to stay successful in the next two or three weeks.

We looked better tonight than we have in awhile, so that also makes me very proud.

“We’ve been working a lot with self-motivation and taking charge, and the guys are getting it. The guys were supposed to do a scouting report for Lockport, and I think they realized that they didn’t do a good enough job. Tonight, I believe that they were far more prepared. These guys have not only worked physically but mentally on where we need to be.”

While West coach Jason Herrmann felt his team was ready for the match, it didn’t turn in the type of performance he was expecting to see.

“This wasn’t the match that everybody thought that it was going to be,” Herrmann said.

“I thought that both sides were a little sloppy, and we didn’t take care of the ball on our side.

They gave us many opportuni-

“Not to push it to Game 3 was disappointing, and I thought that we’d come out with a little more poise. We were well-rested, but maybe we were off for

too long. Anytime that you play your crosstown rival and everyone knows each other and we’re at where we’re at with a loss to the same team, there’s a whole bunch of implications.”

The Hilltoppers took advantage of three hitting errors and a net serve by the Tigers

(11-2) to grab a 14-9 lead in the opener and led by as much as 21-14 before the visitors closed to within 21-18 after consecutive blocks from Luke Van Eck (eight kills).

But JCA responded and closed out the set by receiving a kill from Ben Gabor (four kills) and a kill and ace from Blake Reardon (10 kills) to offset a kill

by Kyler Van Rossum-O’Connell (19 assists) and an ace by Scott Lyman.

“I thought we all played really good,” Gabor said. “We stayed together, and we never really got down on each other.

We took advantage of our opportunities, and we executed.

Our outsides, right side and the back row – everything is doing real good now. We’ve been playing with each other for three or four years, so we have a close bond. Things have been great so far, and if we just keep trying, it’s only going to get even better.”

In the final set, JCA went on a 5-0 run to build a 17-12 advan-

tage, because of a pair of kills from Reardon following assists from Aron Goeken (24 assists, two blocks), a kill on a dig by libero Tony Allen, a long serve and a net violation.

West used a pair of kills from Juwann Jackson (nine kills) and a wide hit to close to within 17-15, but the hosts responded with two kills, a block and an ace from Chandler Kowaliczko (four kills), two kills from Reardon and a kill from Mitch Gustafson (four kills) to wrap up the match.

“I think that we’re really coming along as a team,” Allen said. “We knew that this was going to be a big game against our crosstown rival, and we really wanted it because it’s in our regional and it would help our seeding. We brought the energy, and even though we made mistakes, we didn’t let them get us down, and we acted as a team. We have nine seniors, and this is our last year, so we’re trying to give everything that we have.”

“In my opinion, we put in a lot of work, more than most high school teams, and in the first half of the season it was not paying off,” she said. “We had captains’ meetings in Mrs. Scheibe’s office before school every day to figure it out.

“Then at one of our tournaments in midseason, the captains sat the team down in a circle, and we had our ‘kumbaya’ moment. I think that was the turning point.”

In addition to Garland, Josie Henderson from coach Dave Douglas’ JCA softball program was among those signing Wednesday. She will play at St. Joseph (Indiana).

Douglas noted that Henderson, a four-year varsity player, is just getting back into the groove after recovering ahead of schedule from a shoulder injury.

JCA safety Brandon Holy will continue his football career at Carthage. Coach and master of ceremonies Dan Sharp had the honor of introducing him.

The boys volleyball team, which coach Rhyen Staley said is moving into the upper echelon in state circles, will send Dominic Allen to Culver-Stockton, Tony Allen to Carthage and Jeffrey Budz to Loras.

Colby Marchio, the shot put and discus specialist on the track team, will throw for the Benedictine track team. Coach Samantha Bush noted Marchio has been doing his best work this spring.

The baseball team, which is ranked among the state’s best, was represented at the signing ceremony by pitcher Mike Dow (Amherst), second baseman Max Brzostowski (University of Chicago) and outfielder Keegan Tyrell (Concordia).

Brzostowski missed last season with an injury but is playing well as the regular second baseman this spring. Dow pitched in a game Friday for the first time since freshman year. He had been sidelined since then with an arm injury.

“It was emotional to see Mike out there after all he has gone through to get back,” coach Jared Voss said.

And Tyrell? “He’s our Swiss Army knife,” Voss said.

“He has great instincts in the outfield, and we could put him anywhere on the field and he would do the job.”

JOLIET – The Joliet Catholic Academy girls volleyball program has enjoyed so much success under coach Christine Scheibe that any “first” attracts attention.

How about nine seniors on the team last fall, and everyone set to play in college? That’s the first time all of Scheibe’s seniors are continuing their careers at the next level. The only asterisk is next to Brenna Garland’s name. She will play softball at Illinois College.

“I think all the seniors moving on is a tribute to the girls, who work so hard,” Scheibe said Wednesday during the National Letter of Intent Signing Day celebration at JCA. “They have put themselves in position to compete in college.

“They enjoyed their experience here so much. I hope it’s the same for them in college.”

Previously signed were Mary Murphy (Western Michigan), Madeline Grimm (Southeast Missouri State) and Keegan Fornoff (Southeast Missouri State). Signing at Wednesday’s ceremony were Garland, Maddie Naal (Lander) and Megan Rogers (William Woods).

In addition, three Angels volleyball players were honored for their commitments to nonscholarship schools – Mallory Krzysciak (Lake Forest), Ysa Lozano (Millikin) and Nicole Whitmer (Lawrence).

Naal was a captain and one of the leaders on the team last fall that finished 25-17 after struggling early and claimed second place in the state in Class 3A behind Wheaton St. Francis. She was the last senior to make a commitment, doing so in the past couple of weeks.

“I wondered what they [colleges] were not seeing in Maddie,” Scheibe said. “She’s a leader who works hard. I was happy she found a home at Lander.”

Morris graduate Kendall Korte, whom Naal knows from club volleyball, is a sophomore at Lander, an NCAA Division II program in South Carolina,

INDIANS 4, SOX 2

Unhappy birthday for Danks as Sox lose The ASSOCIATED PRESS CLEVELAND – John Danks had no reason to celebrate on his 30th birthday.

The Indians spoiled the occasion.

Hurt by poor defense, Danks gave up four runs in 4 2⁄ 3 innings Wednesday, as the White Sox lost to the Cleveland Indians, 4-2.

Catcher Geovany Soto had a throwing error, third baseman Conor Gillaspie turned two grounders into infield singles, and second baseman Micah Johnson fumbled a bunt.

“You’ve got to play better than that to win ballgames,” Danks said. “I felt good mixing speeds and mixing pitches today. I felt I had good enough control. They just found some holes, and there were some other things we had to deal with.”

Danks (0-2) allowed an unearned run and six hits, dropping to 5-12 with a 5.13 ERA in 23 starts against Cleveland.

“I felt good mixing speeds and mixing pitches today. I felt I had good enough control,” he said. “They just

found some holes and there were some other things we had to deal with.”

The Sox had won their previous three games.

“I thought Johnny actually pitched all right, but we didn’t do any favors behind him,” Sox manager Robin Ventura said. “The defensive ability is in these guys. We just have to be able to get it out.”

Trevor Bauer won consecutive starts for the first time in his three-plus seasons in the major leagues, helping Cleveland stop a four-game losing streak.

“It’s huge for team morale,” Bauer said after the Indians’ first home win. “We had a rough homestand, but we battled through today.”

Cleveland lost its first four home games and lost three players to injuries.

Left fielder Michael Brantley missed the final four games with a sore back, and catcher Yan Gomes sprained his right knee, an injury likely to sideline him for two months.

Pitcher Carlos Carrasco sustained a bruised jaw after being hit in the face with a line drive Tuesday.

Bauer (2-0), who pitched six hitless innings against Houston in his first start this season, held the Sox without a hit until Jose Abreu singled leading off the fourth. The Sox loaded the bases with one out, but J.B. Shuck fouled out and Soto struck out.

The Sox got a pair of runs in the sixth on Alexei Ramirez’s RBI groundout and Shuck’s run-scoring single.

Cody Allen walked pinch-hitter Emilio Bonifacio leading off the ninth and hit Johnson with a pitch.

Adam Eaton struck out trying to sacrifice, Melky Cabrera hit into a forceout, and Allen struck out Abreu for his second save.

“Adam has to put that bunt down to third base and move everyone over,” Ventura said. “You expect him to be able to get it done, but he didn’t.”

SLOW STARTER

Eaton went 0 for 5 and is hitting .118 (4 for 34) through eight games. “There’s a certain amount of going too hard, and he has some of that,” Ventura said. “You

know Adam is going to come out of it eventually because you know the talent is there.”

TRAINER’S ROOM

White Sox: RHP Jake Petricka (right forearm strain) is on the 15-day DL but could rejoin the club in Detroit this weekend.

Indians: It is not clear when Brantley will return to the lineup. He has played in only two games and is batting .125.

UP NEXT

White Sox: RHP Jeff Samardzija will face Tigers LHP David Price in the opener of a three-game series Friday at Comerica Park.

Samardzija, who is winless with a 6.23 ERA in two starts, has not pitched against Detroit in eight big league seasons.

Indians: RHP Corey Kluber will start on five days’ rest Friday in Minnesota.

The reigning AL Cy Young Award winner got his 14th career double-digit strikeout game in his last start but didn’t figure in the decision against the Tigers.

Bears would be silly to give Forte new deal now Of course Matt Forte wants a new contract. So do I. Don’t you?

The bad news for the Bears’ running back is we all have a better chance of getting one than he does.

I have no issues with Forte.

He is one of the best, if not the best, player on this Bears team. He’s been an outstanding citizen and teammate on and off the field.

Exactly the kind of guy you’d like to reward, right?

Sure, and Matt Forte the Bears have.

Forte’s base salary for 2015 ($7.05 million) and cap hit ($9.2 million) are second-highest among running backs, per Spotrac. Bonuses put Forte’s potential total cash for 2015 at $8.2 million, fifth-most at his position behind LeSean McCoy, Adrian Peterson, Mar-

BEARS INSIDER Hub Arkush shawn Lynch and DeMarco Murray.

Most players have a convenient habit of forgetting the guaranteed money they already have received in advance against their current year’s deal when they start asking for more.

Although this is the final year of his second contract, he negotiated this deal just before the bottom fell out of the running back market and he will have received every penny he was promised, both guaranteed and nonguaranteed in the four-year, $30.4 million contract of which only $13.8 million originally was guaranteed.

It’s been the best kind of deal, great for both sides.

But here’s the reality of

life in the NFL today: Running backs turning 30 and entering their eighth season in the league have a habit of hitting the wall harder than Wile E. Coyote chasing the Road Runner.

NFL teams now that and are unlikely to risk getting caught holding the bag on millions of guaranteed dollars when their backs suddenly lose it.

Let’s face it folks, as unceremoniously as Brian Urlacher, Charles Tillman and Lance Briggs recently have left the only nests they ever knew, why exactly would Forte expect to be any different?

Also complicating his wishes is the devaluation of the running back position in recent seasons with teams now convinced they can find them almost anywhere in the draft – no backs have been drafted in the first round the past two seasons – and free agency.

All we’ve heard from

More online Visit ChicagoFootball.com for the latest Bears and NFL news.

Forte directly is his one tweet reminding us the workouts he’s missing are voluntary.

The fact is he could just be on vacation and might very well still show up for the 85 percent of these workouts he’s required to attend to collect his $100,000 bonus.

Of course that $100K represents only a small percent of his total comp, in Forte’s mind I’m sure a small price to pay if he can leverage that loss into more guaranteed millions.

Remember in 2012, Forte and his agent Adisa Bakari were making all kinds of wild demands before settling for

the just less than $14 million guaranteed they got?

Settling was wise then, as it’s been parlayed into a $30 million-plus payday.

This time around, Forte would be wise to knock it off, come and work out and try to assure he’s healthy and productive as he collects his remaining $8 million-plus, and put himself in the best position to justify the most money he can next offseason, in Chicago or elsewhere.

Ryan Pace has seen firsthand the damage done by silly deals given to Jay Cutler and Brandon Marshall.

Much like Adrian Peterson’s situation in Minnesota, Forte can only end up costing himself money by rocking the boat this time.

Troubling Jameis Winston’s troubling visit to the Bears Jameis Winston was coming to visit the Bears on Wednesday, and I really don’t know what to think.

Yes, the meeting is likely a pro forma chat session, mere due diligence on the Bears’ part that follows the usual NFL pre-draft script at this time of year.

But Winston is a troubling figure. A polarizing one.

He may be an incredibly talented young man who has abruptly grown up, or he may be a flawed person who got away with sexual assault because of his fame and Heisman Trophy-winning reputation in football-mad Tallahassee, Florida.

It’s even possible the former Florida State quarterback is a man whose reputation has been smeared unfairly and who wrongfully was accused of rape, the college and societal crime du jour. But I doubt it.

Rape accusations can be unfounded and vengeful or flatout crazy. But some studies have suggested that more than 90 percent of them are real and authentic.

We never should punish the innocent just because the

product? (He is 21 now, a man by any definition.)

We don’t know, though there are Winston demonizers and defenders out there aplenty. Still, getting through college – even when you are leaving with two years of eligibility left – shouldn’t be so filled with juvenile and/or criminal moments.

Winston’s arm, running ability, gamesmanship, athletic skill and vision all are outstanding. Indeed, he presents himself well on camera, speaks well, and seems to be – in the way we make these quick and facile decisions – intelligent.

But we have Ray Rice and his domestic abuse to think about. And Milton Bradley.

And Adrian Peterson’s issues.

We are fresh off the Johnny Manziel-to-rehab disaster in Cleveland.

And somebody can bring up, as I will, the terrible and entitled sporting career of onetime superstar Nebraska running back Lawrence Phillips, who was drafted No. 6 overall in 1996 by the Rams and is now serving 31 years in prison for, among other things, choking his girlfriend,

and is suspected of killing his cellmate Saturday.

There is this thing sportswriters and others in the sports business will ask each other about athletes they’re not familiar with. ‘‘What’s he like?’’

And the answer will be varied and layered, except for this: ‘‘He’s just a bad guy.’’

People know these things about those they work with or interview with depth and precision.

Bears president George McCaskey claims to know the good stuff about recently signed defensive end Ray McDonald, whom the 49ers thought was too troubled to keep.

I wonder what McCaskey will think about Winston, if he talks to him at all.

Falsely accused good guy, a scapegoat like that fraternity in the recent but now-demolished Rolling Stone story by an alleged gang-rape victim?

Or bad guy?

Don’t know. But do care.

Brooks leads rally, Bulls beat Hawks in regular-season finale

By ANDREW SELIGMAN The Associated Press CHICAGO – Aaron Brooks scored 23 points and the Bulls rallied from 18 down to beat the Atlanta Hawks, 91-85, on Wednesday night in the regular-season finale.

The Bulls locked up the third seed in the Eastern Conference and a first-round matchup with the Milwaukee Bucks with their fourth straight win.

The Hawks, who won a franchise-record 60 games and earned the top seed, matched a season high with their third straight loss.

Brooks carried the Bulls in the second half with Derrick Rose watching from the sideline. He scored nine in the third quarter and pulled the Bulls back into it after Atlanta went up by 18.

Jimmy Butler scored 21.

Pau Gasol added 18 points and 13 rebounds for his 54th double-double, and the Bulls hit the 50-win mark even though Rose scored just two points in 10 minutes.

Joakim Noah (left hamstring tendinitis) sat out the game and Taj Gibson exited with a strained left shoulder.

Dennis Schroder came off the bench to score 21 points for Atlanta on 9-of-13 shooting. Al

Bulls guard Derrick Rose drives on Atlanta Hawks guard Jeff Teague during the first half Wednesday at the United Center.

Horford added 14 points and seven rebounds. Paul Millsap scored five after missing five games because of a sprained right shoulder.

The Bulls were leading, 8785, when Atlanta’s Austin Daye missed a short turnaround jumper with 1:44 left. The Bulls controlled the rebound, and Butler hit two free throws. He

then stole the ball from Daye and fed Gasol for a running layup that made it 91-85 with 1:16 remaining.

Atlanta looked like it was ready to bury the Bulls with a 60-42 lead after scoring the first 11 points of the third quarter.

But with Rose watching from the sideline, Brooks pulled the Bulls back into it.

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

You must get out of partner’s way

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Michael Showalter, a comedian, actor, writer and director, said, “I am a big proponent of writing a great outline. That way you can avoid hitting a roadblock. There is no worse feeling than writing yourself into a corner, but if you’ve figured it all out in the outline, then you won’t have that problem.”

We have a roadblock in bridge – it is featured in this deal, where third hand must decide whether to play high or low at trick one, which is our theme this week.

South is in three no-trump. West leads his fourth-highest heart to dummy’s singleton king. What should happen after that?

South starts with seven top tricks: three spades, one heart (the first trick), one diamond and two clubs. He will take the diamond finesse for his contract. If it wins, he will collect two overtricks. If the finesse loses, perhaps hearts will be 4-4 or the defenders will err.

When West leads a low heart, which promises at least one honor in the suit, and dummy’s king wins the first trick, East must play his queen.

This serves two purposes: It tells partner about the queen and jack, allowing him to underlead the ace on the next round; and it unblocks the suit.

Declarer will take the losing diamond finrtesse, whereupon the defenders can run four heart tricks – but only if East unblocked the queen at trick one.

There are two other points. From the Rule of Eleven, East knows South has only one heart above the six, so playing the queen cannot cost. And no, the queen cannot be a singleton ... unless South opened one no-trump with six hearts in his hand.

lower blood sugar levels to normal – without the risk of dropping them too low.

Several studies over the past decade have indicated using medicines to achieve tight control in older ill patients may lead to worse health than shooting for somewhat less than tight control.

Tight control may be too much of a good thing. A more modest goal (targeting an HbA1c level between 7 percent and 8.9 percent, for example) might make more sense.

A recent study of 1,288 people age 65 or older found about two-thirds of people in relatively poor health had achieved an average HbA1c of 7 percent or less over the 10-year study period.

That sounds like good news: Controlling blood sugar helps prevent long-term health problems. But the authors of the study argue that for the sicker patients, the long-term benefit would likely be outweighed by the short-term risks of periodically causing dangerously low blood sugar. Their study did not directly demonstrate such health risks; it was not designed to do so.

If you are taking insulin or sulfonylurea drugs, particularly if you have several other diseases besides diabetes, talk to your doctor. You might benefit from more frequent home blood sugar testing to detect low blood sugar. If the testing reveals your blood sugar sometimes gets below normal, maybe it’s better to reduce the dose of medicine a bit.

Dear Dr. K: I have Type 2 diabetes. For years, my doctor emphasized the importance of tight blood sugar control. But I recently read that tight control might not make sense for everyone. Why not?

Dear Reader: Millions of people with diabetes, and their doctors, are asking the same question. It’s a confusing and controversial area. I’ll do my best to put it in context and to explain my own views.

People with Type 2 diabetes have high levels of blood sugar if they don’t take medication that lowers their blood sugar level. Some medicines that successfully lower blood sugar – particularly insulin and sulfonylurea drugs – can be too successful, however: They can drop sugar levels too low. This can produce confused thinking, sleepiness, falls and fractures, loss of consciousness and even death.

So the goal in treating diabetes is to lower high blood sugar levels to normal, but not to below normal. Getting the levels down to normal is called “tight control” of blood sugar.

There are two ways of measuring blood sugar.

You can measure the sugar level at the moment you sample the blood, or you can estimate what the average sugar level has been over the past two to three months using a test called hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c). Most doctors urge their diabetic patients to aim for an HbA1c of 7 percent or less. This is considered tight control.

Aiming for tight blood sugar control makes sense for almost all patients when they are first diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes. In large part, because often it can be achieved with diet and exercise alone. Diet and exercise sometimes can

Dear Abby: My husband and I are having a disagreement about one of our daughters (we have three).

Our 8-year-old is very hairy.

It is noticeable, and she doesn’t like wearing shorts, skirts or dresses because of it. Her classmates tease her about it.

I want to teach her how to shave her legs or show her how to use hair remover. Her father is angry I want to “do this” to his little girl.

I was a hairy child as well, and I was teased about my hairy legs and my unibrow, which my parents wouldn’t let me shave or pluck. I remember how painful it was, how upset it made me and how different I felt from my classmates because of it. I told myself as a child that when I grew up, I’d never let my daughter go through the same torment. I still feel that way.

Should we wait a few more years, or should I buy the products I need and teach her what she’ll be doing for the rest of her life?

may mean well, but he may not realize what being the object of ridicule can do to a little girl’s self-esteem.

You’re that child’s mother, and you know what to do – so do it. Sometimes girls have to stick together, and this is one of them.

Dear Abby: After 26 years of marriage, I recently left my husband. We live only a few blocks away from each other, so we run into each other often at the store, the gas station, everywhere.

My problem is more about running into some of the women he cheated on me with. One of them always ends up at the same shopping center or restaurant I happen to be at. She thinks I don’t know who she is.

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips At first I didn’t want to say anything to her, but now it really has gotten to me.

What can I tell her the next time she meets up with me?

I want to keep myself from yelling at her. Please help me. – Can’t Find The Words

In Houston Dear Can’t: You don’t

know whether the woman your ex cheated with is stable or some kind of wing nut. Sometimes it’s safer not to be able to “find the words” rather than pick a fight.

My advice is to avoid her as much as possible.

Dear Abby: recently took a long international flight.

The man sitting next to me coughed during the eighthour flight without once covering his mouth.

What is a polite way to tell someone to cover his/ her mouth when coughing?

Two days into my trip, I developed a fever and a bad cough, so it seems he passed his illness on to me. – Fever-

ish Flier Dear Flier: Your seat

partner showed an extreme lack of consideration not only for you, but also for other passengers seated in his immediate vicinity – and it’s very possible he infected others besides you. It is not impolite to ask people who cough and sneeze to please cover their mouths so you won’t catch what they have, and that’s what you should have done right away, or ask to change your seat if an unoccupied one was available.
