Village Board trustees approve Uptown Square redevelopment deal

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com ROMEOVILLE – Trustees approved a detailed Uptown Square redevelopment agreement for the Franconi’s and Fat Ricky’s establishments that provide incentives and restrictions for Romeoville and the developer.

The agreement states that the village will give up to $650,000 in incentives to BG Investments LLC, the developer, in exchange for guarantees and a timeline for the construction of a grocery store, convenience store and restaurant.

“It took a very long time,” Village Manager Steve Gulden said to the Romeoville Village Board. “It was challenging to ensure the village’s protection, challenging to make sure BG Investments was protected.”

The incentives will be provided from the village’s tax increment financing fund, general fund, and food and beverage fund.

Those incentives include a project reimbursement of up to $450,000 in redevelopment

project costs through TIF funds, $100,000 to reimburse non-TIF eligible costs and $100,000 in food and beverage tax abatements.

In addition to the incentives, the village will reduce the building permit fee, including sewer and water connections, to $10,000.

Also, the village promises not to allow another establishment that sells similar primary foods and beverages, including pizza and pasta, to move in close to Franconi’s and Fat Ricky’s. The same goes for any establishment selling microbrew beer.

However, the incentives depend on certain conditions the developers and the businesses moving in have to follow, according to the agreement.

A timeline has been set for work to be started on the development on Oct. 1. Also, construction needs to be completed and the businesses need to start operations by July 1, 2016.

If that timeline isn’t followed, the developer won’t be entitled to any payments in the agreement.

Also, the convenience store will need to operate for at least a year for the developer to receive a food and beverage tax waiver.

Trustee Joe Chavez said he was concerned that the provision restricting the village to place competing businesses near the development could become problematic if Franconi’s or Fat Ricky’s closes down.

While there wasn’t language in the agreement addressing that scenario, Mayor John Noak said it was the intent of the developer to not enforce that provision if anything closes down. He directed village staff to make sure that was clarified in the agreement.

“We want this restaurant to last,” Noak said, adding that both sides want the business to succeed. “This is not as restricting as it may seem.”

Gulden said BG Investments was different than any big box business.

“They’re taking a huge leap of faith by doing this,” he said.

Trustees also approved agreements for several state and federal grants for public works projects, an economic incentive agreement for property in the Paragon Business Park, and the swearing in of two new police officers.

O’Dekirk-Mihelich mayoral debate airs on JCTV; to repeat

By BOB OKON bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The Cantigny VFW mayoral debate was set to start airing at 5 p.m.

Wednesday on JCTV’s Channel 6.

The lead-up to the debate was arguably more controversial than what was actually said during the two-hour forum held March 12 at the Cantigny VFW hall.

JCTV President Dick Schuster said he first received a DVD of the debate about 11:40 a.m. Wednesday and got it ready for its first airing at 5

p.m. that day.

The debate was scheduled to air again at 10 p.m. Wednesday, Schuster said. On Thursday and Friday, it will air at 5 a.m., 10:13 a.m., 5 p.m. and 10 p.m.

The debate stirred a controversy when Schuster opted not to film it because Mayor Tom Giarrante decided not to attend because he believed it was slanted against him. The other two candidates – Councilman Bob O’Dekirk and Andy Mihelich, chairman of the Joliet Junior College board – did participate.

Another JCTV volunteer

filmed the debate but never sent the tape in to be aired.

Volunteer Julia Alexander said Wednesday that she had asked O’Dekirk’s campaign to send in its tape of the debate because there was a problem with the sound on her recording. The controversy flared up again this week when O’Dekirk said the tape was sent and Schuster said he never got it.

O’Dekirk said Wednesday that he would turn in “another copy” to JCTV. Schuster said he never received a previous copy but he got two Wednesday.

Police investigating body found in river

JOLIET – Police are investigating the death of a man found earlier this week in the Des Plaines River in Joliet.

Deon Trevell Loggins, 40, of Joliet, was pronounced dead at 10:35 a.m. Monday on the banks of the Des Plaines River near the 900 block of Railroad Street in Joliet, according to the Will County Coroner’s Office.

An autopsy was scheduled Tuesday and Joliet police are investigating the death.

Preliminary cause of death is pending toxicology results, said Pat O’Neil, Will County Coroner, on Wednesday. He said there was no sign of trauma on Loggins.

The case is classified as a death investigation, he said.

Final cause and manner of death will not be determined until toxicology reports and a police investigation is complete.

Residents who vote Tuesday may find they are not in Plainfield

By BOB OKON bokon@shawmedia.com

JOLIET – Jamal Stockley and Katherine McIntyre, who live in older parts of Joliet, were eating lunch together Wednesday at the Westfield Family Restaurant without knowing they still were in their hometown.

“I thought we were in Plainfield,” Stockley said.

“I thought we were in Shorewood,” McIntyre said.

Both were wrong.

“Joliet,” restaurant co-owner Jimmy Michalopoulos said when asked to verify the location.

“With a Plainfield address,” he added. “Don’t forget that.”

That’s how it goes sometimes on the city’s far West Side, an area often called “Jofield” because of the blending of Joliet city limits with Plainfield mailing addresses and a Plainfield school district.

“It’s still Plainfield, but I pay Joliet water,” said Joyce Scott, a far West Side resident who lives “literally 30 seconds” from her childhood home in an area always considered Plainfield before Joliet began its annexation march westward into Kendall County. Scott still considers it Plainfield.

Election on Tuesday

Those who vote Tuesday in the local municipal elections will see they are voting for Joliet City Council members and not Plainfield village trustees.

But who votes in municipal elections? Turnout is notoriously low. Only 21 percent of Joliet voters cast ballots in 2011, when nine candidates ran for mayor and tried to churn out support.

Tuesday’s ballot will include candidates for Joliet City Council Districts One and Three, which go past Route 59 into the far west region.

Randy Williams moved from Chicago to the Wesmere subdivision in Joliet 15 years ago. He has never voted in a

Joliet municipal election.

But he did learn while his house was being built that it was in Joliet, and not in Plainfield as he originally thought.

‘You might be in Joliet’

Williams said he was telling a friend at work details about where he was moving.

“I was talking about the Plainfield schools and everything that was out here,” Williams said.

“He said, ‘You know, you might be in Joliet.’ ” Williams said when he lived in Chicago, he often contacted city officials about what he wanted to see done in the neighborhood.

At Wesmere, he said, there is a homeowners’ association.

“We go there with our issues,”

he said.

Council candidates are knocking on doors in Districts One and Three trying to drum up votes for the election.

District One candidate Terry Cottrell said some people

“were surprised to know that I was running. They were subsequently surprised to learn they were in the city of Joliet.”

A different direction

Cottrell said it’s not so

surprising people still are confused. Many people in the area gravitate toward Plainfield, Naperville, Oswego and Yorkville.

“If you’re on Drauden Road, that’s a different culture,” Cottrell said, comparing life along one of the far West Side’s major thoroughfares with that of people living closer to downtown Joliet. “People downtown may think everyone goes to the Joliet water park. But if you live on Drauden Road, you’re usually at the Yorkville water park.”

Some of that simply has to do with location and travel times.

“I live near Plainfield South

Four candidates run in Joliet District Four

By BOB OKON bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Tuesday will be the first election since former Councilwoman Susie Barber resigned her seat in Joliet City Council District Four.

Four candidates are running.

District Four covers much of the East Side, including the Collins Street commercial district, and a section of the near West Side that includes the Cathedral Area. Landmarks include St. Raymond’s Cathedral and Pilcher Park. But they also include the shuttered Joliet Correctional Center and U.S. Steel plant.

James Foster

Foster is a union electrician who owns New Frontier Electrical Construction.

He said his business experience will help in keeping “a watchful eye on unforeseen expenses” for the city.

He grew up and lives in the Forest Park neighborhood and said District Four faces many of the issues it always has.

“My parents moved here in 1974, and I grew up in the area,” Foster said. “Some of the same problems that we had when I was a kid we still have.

We don’t have streetlights and sidewalks. Our crime rate is higher than other areas. Our district does not have economic development.”

Putting streetlights in areas that don’t have them is import-

ant because of crime, he said.

“Safety in the community is No. 1,” Foster said. “Without a safe community, business is not going to come into our district.”

Bettye Gavin

Councilwoman Bettye Gavin has been in office since May. She was appointed after Barber’s resignation.

Gavin is executive director of the Forest Park Community Center. She said her 30 years as a community advocate will be useful in representing the district if elected.

“We can include all of the residents in District Four to make sure we’re no longer neglected,” Gavin said. “That’s what I’m hearing most often is that District Four is being neglected.”

The biggest issue in District Four is crime, she said.

“We have got to address that to make it a safer community,” she said. “Have the community work with police officers to make the streets safer.”

District residents want a “youth initiative” to train people through the age of 25 for jobs, she said, adding that Joliet should explore a summer jobs program.

Angel Guzman

Guzman wants to market District Four to attract jobs and economic development.

“There is a lot of empty land undeveloped on Cass, on Collins and on Woodruff Road,” he

said. “It’s just a matter of our being able to make our district safer, repairing our infrastructure and marketing our city.”

He is bilingual, and speaking Spanish will help reach many Hispanic residents in the district, Guzman said.

Wanting to add more police on the streets, Guzman said he also wants to see a police department with more minorities “to be a true reflection of our community.”

Guzman also said the city should look for tourism opportunities. His own ideas include a water taxi on the Des Plaines River, a walking tour of the Upper Bluff Street area and joint marketing of the Jacob Henry, Patrick Haley and Hiram Scutt mansions as a banquet destination point.

“We need to promote the city better to job creators,” he said.

Joliet District Four candidates

Phillip Petrakos

Angel Guzman

Petrakos, an employee in the Illinois Secretary of State’s office, said his main goal if elected would be to give the district better representation.

“I work well with people. I like to get things done. If people have problems, I’m there to help them,” he said.

He said public safety and economic development are top issues. But Petrakos emphasized he would help residents and business owners with problems that affect them.

He believes he can cut red tape for people who need help

Crews respond to Mound Road brush fire

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com

Lathan Goumas – lgoumas@shawmedia.com

Firefighters battle a brush fire Wednesday on Mound Road west of Houbolt Road in Troy Township.

TROY TOWNSHIP – It took almost three hours for firefighters to put down a brush fire Wednesday afternoon in the 23300 block of West Mound Road that quickly spread for about two miles along the railroad tracks in Troy Township.

Troy Fire Protection Chief Andy Doyle said someone was burning brush southwest of the industrial buildings on Mound

Road when the fire got out of control about 1:50 p.m. It was one of many brush fires reported Wednesday in both Will and Grundy counties.

The fire was put out about 4:40 p.m., Doyle said, but not before it threatened homes and feasted on brush in the swampy area between Mound Road and the nearby railroad tracks.

“It was a fairly decent size fire,” Doyle said. “It started out small, but the wind picked it up. It had flames 25 feet in the

air burning all the dry brush.”

The swampy land made it difficult for crews to get to the fire, Doyle said. Eight fire departments responded to the scene: Troy, East Joliet, Channahon, Minooka, Plainfield, Lockport, Wilmington, Elwood and Rockdale.

By about 3:15 p.m. Wednesday, the east end of the fire was contained, an area close

NEW LENOX

Business owner, CEO vie for two-year trustee term

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com NEW LENOX – Voters have the choice between a chamber CEO and a self-employed business owner when deciding who is best qualified to serve out a two-year term on the New Lenox Village Board.

Emily Johnson, 31, chief executive officer for the New Lenox Chamber of Commerce, was appointed late last year to the trustee position, filling a seat left vacant by former trustee Ray Tuminello, who joined the Will County Board.

She moved to New Lenox with her husband three years ago and the couple is raising

an 18-month-old son.

On April 7, she faces Sally Van Cura, a 60-year-old mother of one with 25 years experience in the financial sector as a business owner. Van Cura grew up in Bridgeport and attended an all-girls Catholic school before entering the business world.

Van Cura said she worked for a real estate investment firm until 1988, when she started her own business. She said she’s the best person for the job because she can best manage tax dollars and represent the community and business owners, large and small.

“I’ve learned everything firsthand,” she said. “I’ve actually owned a business. I

Butterfield, 56, has been on the board since 2007. He’s a sales representative with TriStar Cabinets in New Lenox.

He said he wants to keep promoting growth at the north end of town, near the Interstate 355 interchange and Silver Cross Hospital.

“We need to keep selling that, and do everything we can to get that going,” he said.

His goal if re-elected?

“It’s really to continue what we’re doing,” he said.

“We’ve changed rules for builders, lowered fees. ... We want to stay business-friendly,” he said.

Nancy Dye

Dye, 57, has served on the board since 2002. Before that, she graduated from Northwood University in Midland, Michigan, with a bachelor’s degree in business administration. She said she’s proud of the strides made since she first joined the board – including economic development and housing.

“When I first moved here, I had to go to Orland Park to do my grocery shopping,” she said. “But there also has to be an equal balance of commercial and housing development.”

NEW LENOX – A union electrician and political newcomer is vying against three incumbents for one of three spots on the New Lenox Village Board. Jasen Howard, 37, is up against three incumbents: Kevin Madsen, 55, a trustee since 2004; Nancy Dye, 57, a trustee since 2002; and David Butterfield, 56, a trustee since 2007.

“I’m the outsider of the group,” he said. “Everyone else is endorsed by each other. They answer to each other.

The only people I’ll answer to are the voters.”

He and his wife moved to New Lenox about a year and a half ago.

“Now that I’m trying to grow a family here, it makes sense [to run]. I want my children to one day grow up in a safe neighborhood, and for them to have the same opportunities as I had growing up here,” he said.

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A Frankfort man can have “unfettered” and unrecorded conversations with his attorney in a venue other than the Will County Jail’s contact visit room while preparing for trial, a Will County judge said Wednesday.

James Sarros, an attorney for Brian Trainauskas, who is accused of a 2009 homicide and also faces charges of solicitation of the murder of a Will County prosecutor, went before Judge Dave Carlson on Wednesday.

He requested that the jail not video record his conversa-

tions with Trainauskas at the county jail, claiming it could reveal the legal team’s strategy if the video were to end up in the wrong hands.

The county jail has a room set up for contact visits, according to a Will County sheriff’s correctional sergeant who testified Wednesday.

The room records video – not audio – and the video is monitored by an officer in the sheriff’s department for security reasons and to prevent the passing of contraband and protect those in the room.

Video recordings cycle through the system and are deleted after 30 days. There are no safeguards in place to

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Will County Judge Edward Burmila on Wednesday said he needs another week to decide whether drugs found in the home of a Naperville man can be used as evidence during trial.

The decision to push back the hearing to April 8 is yet another delay in the nine-year drug case. Michael Vilim, 56, was arrested in Bolingbrook in September 2006 when the Metropolitan Area Narcotics Squad reportedly seized 17 kilos of cocaine.

At issue are the wrappings state police used to secure the drugs as evidence. Defense

attorney Chuck Bretz said some of the evidence appears “not accounted for” and was mishandled by law enforcement.

“We contend this is essential to our defense,” Bretz said Wednesday outside the courtroom.

An investigator has told Bretz he did not see any wrappers on the evidence when he photographed it at state police district headquarters three years ago.

Bretz said after the hearing his client’s case has gone on far too long and that charges should be dismissed.

Vilim was charged in 2006, and no trial date has been set yet for the case.

Dave Carlson Will County judge prevent anyone from copying or accessing those recordings, the sergeant testified.

Prosecutor Dan Walsh argued Trainauskas and his attorney have other options,

wouldn’t be here,” Sarros said.

Carlson said he could offer a jury room to Sarros and Trainauskas, which would require a sheriff’s deputy to be stationed outside the door.

“A certain level of security is needed,” Carlson said.

Another option would be to order that no video conversations between the two at the county jail could be “reviewed, copied or disseminated” to anyone, Carlson said.

including a room designed so that attorneys and clients can have conversations – which are not audio or video recorded – through a glass divider.

Police searching for person of interest in Coal City shooting

cchapman@shawmedia.com COAL CITY – Police are looking for a person or persons of interest related to the Wednesday night shooting of a male near a Shell gas station in Coal City.

Police were on the scene late Wednesday searching the pickup truck where the shooting victim was found.

Coal City Sgt. Chris Harseim said from the scene that the male victim was not shot at the Shell station, 725 E. Division St., but somewhere in the

vicinity.

The victim was in the truck when it crashed into another vehicle at the gas station. The victim is not from the local area, Harseim said.

Police were called to the scene and the victim was taken to Morris Hospital. Police on scene did not know what condition the victim was in.

Route 113 was shut down near the gas station and traffic was being rerouted late Wednesday. A mobile command center was on scene with Grundy County sheriff deputies and Coal City police on scene.

percent of students decide against buying textbooks because they are too expensive and 82 percent believed they would perform better in class if a textbook was free online.

Publishers have increased cost-saving options for students, such as offering electronic textbooks, but the price of rental, used and electronic books is dictated by the price of the new print edition, according to U.S. PIRG. Campus said textbooks with software, access codes, workbooks or lab manuals would not be part of the rental program.

“The things mainly on the rental program are nationally available titles,” he said.

The rental program will be available for summer session courses starting April 27 for sessions one and two and June 15 for session three.

Acceptable forms of payment include cash, check, credit and debit card, as well as financial aid. Students must have a valid student identification.

JOLIET – Students shopping for textbooks for Joliet Junior College courses this summer will be among the first to participate in a new book rental program.

Starting April 27, JJC students can take part in a rental service for textbooks at the college bookstore that could save them up to 50 percent on costs. The service has not been offered before, but it’s a big national trend among universities and colleges, said Brian Campus, JJC Bookstore interim textbook manager.

“It’s a great cost-saving option,” Campus said. “Textbook rental to our students is nothing new. Some of these [students] are renting from online companies. The benefit they have renting here is they can use their financial aid to pay for rental fees.”

When the rental service becomes available, students can use financial aid and scholar-

ship funds to rent their books.

Previously, the JJC Bookstore offered students a limited rental service through Skyo, but the company would not allow scholarship funds or aid to pay for rentals.

The JJC Bookstore will work with Follett Higher Education Group to provide the rental service, which will cut the average cost of new or used books by about half.

Campus said the national average cost of a new book is upward of $80 and a used book $65. If a student were to rent a new book that retails at about $85, rental would cost $60, he said. A used book at $63 would rent for $33.

The rental program would be helpful for students struggling with tuition and fees.

According to U.S. Public Interest Research Group, a nonprofit advocacy organization, the costs of college textbooks have skyrocketed, with additional books and supply costs burdening students already grappling with tuition.

LOCKPORT TOWNSHIP

Brush fire spreads to site used to park vehicles

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com LOCKPORT TOWNSHIP – A firefighter suffered injuries that were not life-threatening during a reported brush fire in Lockport Township that spread to an area used to park semitrailers and other vehicles.

The firefighter was taken to an area hospital for treatment, Lockport Township Fire Chief David Skoryi said Wednesday night.

The Lockport Township Fire Protection District received a call at 4:33 p.m. for a brush fire at 1 Genstar Lane in unincorporated Lockport Township, according to a news release from the district. That is just east of Broadway Street near Theo-

dore Street.

Responders found “a fast-moving fire spreading to an area used to park semitrailers and automobiles,” according to the news release. Units from 15 surrounding departments responded to assist in extinguishing the blaze.

“The main reason so many departments were needed was to supply water tenders to haul water from the Crest Hill and Joliet area since the fire area has no municipal water supply,” fire officials said in the news release. “At the height of the fire, smoke could be seen as far north as Westmont.”

Skoryi said at the scene that it took about two hours to strike out the fire.

Joliet resident Paul Dick said he was in his yard raking

THE SKYHOOK THE WINDMILL THE DISCOUNT DOUBLE CHECK

when he heard fire engines.

He said someone who was wearing a workers uniform near the scene of the fire told him a trailer caught on fire, and a trailer next to it might have had chemicals in it.

“I was told there were all kinds of small explosions,” he said.

Skoryi said material in some of the trailers was popping, but officials aren’t sure if it was an explosion. Fire officials were preparing at 7:15 p.m. to start their investigation into the cause of the blaze.

“As dry as it is outside, and the wind it helped the fire move fast, our guys did their best,” he said. “Unfortunately, when you’re in an area with no water, it’s hard to put the fire out.”

Continued from page 4 to residential buildings, Doyle said. Crews continued to work on putting out the fire on its west side, between the industrial buildings and the railroad tracks.

Resident Frank Norem said

he saw the fire when it was taking place. There was smoke on the horizon, he said, and as the fire found packets of dried brush, black smoke and flames reached as high as 30 feet.

There have been small fires in the area in the past, Norem said.

“I don’t think we’ve got a good one in 25 years,” he said.

16th Annual

• Thursday, April 2, 2015

ROMEOVILLE – Lewis University Airport in Romeoville will receive a $490,615 grant for a taxiway to its aviation center.

U.S. Rep Dan Lipinski, D-Western Springs, announced the grant in a news release. The money will be used to replace original pavement on the taxiway, which is used by aircraft operating out of Lewis’ flight department building and other aircraft using the airport, said Chris Lawson, aviation director with the Joliet Regional Port District.

The port district owns and operates the airport.

The project will improve traffic flow from the runways to the hangers, including the part of the airport that serves Lewis’ aviation program, according to Romeoville Mayor John Noak.

“While the improvements will be extremely helpful during events in the region, such as the races at Chicagoland Speedway, it will also benefit the entire local economy, making the airport’s facilities more appealing to corporate traffic and enhancing the prestigious aviation program at Lewis University,” Noak said in the news release.

The fix will be particularly helpful when the NASCAR Air Force comes to town in September, Lawson said.

“We get about 100 airplanes

in here,” Lawson said. “They call it the NASCAR Air Force, and it’s going to be just great for the controllers to launch all those airplanes. It gives them another path where they can stage and get them out in the right order in their flight plans.”

The taxiway was capped with a patch last year, Lawson said, and is functional. But the new pavement will last 20 years.

“It’s some old pavement that needed to be rejuvenated,” Lawson said. “We’re really happy about cleaning it up.”

This grant is part of a public-private collaboration that includes Lewis University, the airport, and Illinois, according to the news release from Lipinski. It’s a combination of state money and airport improvement funds, collected every time an aircraft purchases a gallon of gas at the airport, Lawson said.

“This grant will help Lewis University Airport improve its infrastructure, boosting economic development and aiding the top-notch Lewis University Aviation program,” Lipinski said in the news release.

The airport awaits the release of the money, Lawson said, and hopes to start the renovation project May 1.

The Lewis University Airport accommodates more than 100,000 arrivals and departures annually, according to the news release.

“I know who’s moving here. Who’s coming here,” she said. “New families building new homes. That’s who is

coming to New Lenox. I represent that demographic. I know their needs. I know their concerns.”

Johnson said her experience as the CEO of the local chamber will aid in her role on the Village Board.

“We have a lot of small businesses here. Mom and pop shops. I want to make sure they continue with the support they’ve received,”

Johnson said.

Both said they’d like to see downtown redevelopment along U.S. Route 30.

Van Cura said the “rapid rate of growth” in New Lenox requires careful planning.

“We must control and direct that development because we also have the duty of preserving the quaint, family-based lifestyle in this community,” Van Cura said.

STATE BRIEF Inmate overpowers guard, escapes jail

KANKAKEE – A man awaiting sentencing for murder escaped from a jail in eastern Illinois Wednesday after beating a guard into unconsciousness, taking his keys and uniform and speeding off in his SUV. Kamron T. Taylor, who has a history of escape attempts, fled from the Jerome Combs Kamron Detention T. Taylor Center in Kankakee at about 3 a.m. He somehow escaped from his cell, hid inside the facility, then beat and choked the guard who was making rounds, said Kankakee County Sheriff Timothy Bukowski.

Taylor, a 23-year-old from Kankakee, is considered armed and dangerous, the sheriff said. He was convicted of first-degree murder in February and faces a sentence of 45 years to life in prison. Besides hunting him down, investigators were eager to determine how Taylor got free in what was the first successful escape from the decade-old lockup housing about 450 detainees.

After getting free of his two-man cell in a lockdown unit, Taylor hid out and attacked the guard, a military veteran with 10 years of correctional experience, Bukowski said.

Cynthia Lennon, first wife of John Lennon, dies

By GREGORY KATZ The Associated Press LONDON – Cynthia Lennon, the first wife of former Beatles guitarist John Lennon, died of cancer Wednesday at her home in Spain. She was 75.

Her death was announced on the website and Twitter account of her son, Julian Lennon, and confirmed by his representative.

Julian Lennon posted a moving video tribute to his late mother with a song he had written in her honor.

“You gave your life for me, you gave your life for love,” it begins, showing footage of him as a young boy with his parents. It also shows footage of Cynthia with John during the early days of Beatlemania.

“The love you left behind will carry on,” Julian, 51, sings in a style influenced by his late father.

It concludes with the words: “I know you’re safe above.”

A statement from Julian’s representative said Cynthia died at her home in Mallorca “following a short but brave battle with cancer.” It said Julian was at his mother’s bedside throughout.

Cynthia and John Lennon met at art school in Liverpool in 1957 and married shortly before the Beatles shot to worldwide fame. Julian was their only child together.

The couple divorced in 1968 after John Lennon started his much publicized relationship with Japanese artist Yoko Ono. They had spent 10 years together as a couple.

Cynthia remarried several times.

The divorce prompted Paul McCartney to pen the Beatles’ classic “Hey Jude” to help Julian cope with his parents’ separation. He changed the name Julian to Jude in the song.

The line “Take a sad song and make it better,” is about the Lennons’ broken marriage and its impact on their

son.

Author Hunter Davies, who wrote the only authorized Beatles biography in 1968, described Cynthia as a “lovely woman” who was ill-treated by her famous husband.

He said she wasn’t at all like her husband, but was “quiet and reserved and calm” and “not a hippy at all.”

He said their friends at art school never thought the relationship would last because they were so different.

In her autobiography, Cynthia described John as jealous and insecure. She said he hit her once after she danced with Stu Sutcliffe, then a member of the band.

University of Illinois pushes to finish budget cut plan

URBANA – University of Illinois administrators are pushing to finish a plan by next month to deal with the 31.5 percent cut Gov. Bruce Rauner has proposed in state funding for universities.

Urbana-Champaign campus Provost Ilesanmi Adesida told faculty leaders Monday that everything from campus expenses to new sources of revenue must be considered.

“Everything is on the table. We have to look at ourselves very carefully,” Adesida said. “What are the strategic things we have to continue to do to make sure Illinois remains Illinois?”

Administrators want the campus spending proposal finished for university trustees to consider at their May 7 meeting, according to The News-Gazette.

Rauner has proposed the cut in state funding. The potential cut in next year’s budget would cost the Urbana-Champaign campus $86 million to $114 million, depending on how system cuts are allocated. The University of Illinois system as a whole faces a $208 million cut.

An Illinois state-owned aircraft taxis within sight of the state Capitol as it prepares to take off from Springfield’s Abraham Lincoln Capital Airport in 2007. An auction of half of Illinois’ fleet of airplanes has had trouble getting off the ground, with only one of five planes receiving an online bid as of Wednesday morning. A four-seat 1978 Cessna got a bid of about $66,800, topping the minimum price required to be sold, according to the state’s surplus equipment bidding website, iBid. The highest minimum price in the latest auction was about $2.5 million for a 1999 Beechcraft King Air 250, which didn’t receive a bid. Bidders must meet a minimum price to buy a plane.

have submitted at least part of the application.

The tally is still far short of the number of patients the program’s coordinator hoped would enroll in the first year.

In July, program coordinator Bob Morgan said “thousands, hopefully tens of thousands” were expected to enroll.

Qualifying patients pay an annual fee of $100 for a marijuana card and need a doctor’s written certification.

State may assist U.S. Steel workers in Granite City

GRANITE CITY – A group of Illinois state lawmakers said it is working to find resources to help more than 2,000 Granite City workers who will be laid off from U.S. Steel.

The Telegraph said the

lawmakers hope to find job search and placement assistance, support programs and other transition services for the 2,080 workers. U.S. Steel said last month it temporarily would close its Granite City steel plant.

The group includes Democratic state Rep. Jay Hoffman of Swansea, Democratic state Sen. Bill Haine of Alton and Democratic state Rep. Dan Beiser of Alton. They said they are working with the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity and other state agencies.

Hoffman called the closure “devastating to the community.”

Asa Hutchinson backed away Wednesday from his promise to sign a controversial religious-objections bill, bowing to pressure from critics that included his own son and some of the state’s biggest employers, who say the legislation is anti-gay.

The GOP governor said he wants the Legislature either to recall the bill from his desk or pass a follow-up measure that would make the proposal more closely mirror a federal religious-freedom law.

Hutchinson said his son, Seth, was among those who signed a petition asking him to veto the bill.

“This is a bill that in ordinary times would not be controversial,” the governor said. “But these are not ordinary times.”

Hutchinson initially supported the bill; and on Tuesday, his office said he planned

to sign it into law. But a day later, his position changed.

“What is important from an Arkansas standpoint is one, we get the right balance.

And, secondly, we make sure that we communicate we’re not going to be a state that fails to recognize the diversity of our workplace, our economy and our future,” Hutchinson said at a Capitol news conference.

He was the second governor in as many days to give ground to opponents of the legislation.

After Indiana Gov. Mike Pence signed a similar measure last week, Pence and fellow Republicans endured days of sharp criticism from around the country. Pence now is seeking follow-up legislation to address concerns the law could allow businesses to discriminate based on sexual orientation.

Hutchinson also faced pressure from the state’s top employers, including WalMart, which has asked for the bill to be vetoed. Little Rock’s

mayor, the city’s Chamber of Commerce and Arkansas-based data-services company Acxiom have all urged the governor to reject the bill.

Other big names in business, including Apple, Gap and Levi Strauss, have also spoken out against the religious-objection measures.

Experts said companies are increasingly concerned about any laws that could alienate customers, hurt state economies or limit employers’ ability to attract and retain talent.

Arkansas-based Wal-Mart Stores is particularly influential; it is the world’s largest retailer and the nation’s largest private employer.

Neither the Indiana nor Arkansas law specifically mentions gays and lesbians, but opponents are concerned the language in them could offer a legal defense to businesses and other institutions that refuse to serve gays, such as caterers, florists or photographers with religious objections to same-sex marriage.

Councilman Gerl believes the situation has improved over time • FAR WEST SIDE

Continued from page 3 High School,” said Ray Polikaitis, candidate in District Three. “It can take me a good 20 minutes to get to downtown Joliet.”

City elections typically raise questions about what the city can do to make people on the far West Side feel more connected to Joliet. Cottrell suggests a citizen advisory council of local residents.

Polikaitis said he would hold

monthly meetings in the district.

District Three Councilman John Gerl said he believes the situation has improved over time. He points to a Joliet fire station, police substation and public works facility on the far West Side.

“From the doors I’ve knocked on, and I’ve been to Kendall County many times, they connect to Joliet,” Gerl said.

To the extent that there is still a disconnect with the far West Side, District One Coun-

cilman Larry Hug said it’s a two-way problem. People in the traditional parts of Joliet do not necessarily think of the area as Joliet, he said.

A tough call

Hug tells of a high school football game between Plainfield South and Joliet West where he was a referee. During a break in the action, he posed a question to the two sides.

“I turned to Plainfield South,” Hug recalled, “and said, what city are those guys from? They said Joliet. I said

“They have a water tower here that says Joliet, but it’s a Plainfield school system. That kind of confuses people.”

Randy Williams Joliet resident to the Joliet West guys, what town are those guys from.

They said Plainfield. I pointed to the water tower.”

The water tower rising above Plainfield South High School says Joliet. It says that because Plainfield South High School is in Joliet. But it does not necessarily clarify things.

Williams said the Joliet water tower is “weird” in a way.

“They have a water tower here that says Joliet, but it’s a Plainfield school system,” he said. “That kind of confuses people.”

LETTER TO THE EDITOR O’Dekirk can help Joliet with economic development To the Editor:

I am a lifelong resident of Joliet, and I would like to see some progress made in expanding the job market in Joliet. We have the largest city centrally located in Will County, with three state highways, a river, huge freight rail yards and a cross country commuter rail station. How is it that little towns like Homer Glen and Frankfort can beat us out in terms of job growth (based on unemployment numbers)? I would like my grandchildren to have the choice of making a life in Joliet rather than moving out of town just so they can get a job that

will pay their mortgage.

I am supporting Bob O’Dekirk for mayor of Joliet because I believe he can do a better job of showcasing the things that can make Joliet great for a new business looking to locate in Illinois or a current business expanding in Joliet. At the very least, I believe he can keep local employers such as Caterpillar from abandoning Joliet for other locations. Tom Giarrante may be a good barber after 50 years of trying, but I think for a city of nearly 150,000, we need a leader who is good at bringing home jobs and businesses using 21st century economic strategies.

Suicide not painless, not what we need more of “One day the story of my young daughter will be made beautiful in her living because she witnessed my dying.”

These jarring words come from the open letter a woman named Kara Tippetts wrote to Brittany Maynard, the young woman suffering with brain cancer who ended her life late last year in Oregon, where medically assisted suicide is legal. Tippetts was dying of cancer, too.

But she wasn’t moving from Colorado to Oregon in order to legally kill herself, as Maynard did. She was fighting to live every last breath she could muster with her family and friends around her.

Many of the people who oppose assisted suicide and who care for the weakest and most vulnerable and overlooked – the sick, the handicapped, the elderly, the poor – were called to their work by the dictates of their faith. But religion does not have to be your reason to say no to suicide. Solidarity with all who suffer might be one reason; vigilant protection of the vulnerable might be another. It’s not just those of deep religious faith who are

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

VIEWS Kathryn Jean Lopez sounding alarms about our growing culture of death.

Tippets died March 22, just days before Maynard would posthumously testify, in the California statehouse via a video that assisted-suicide activists had made before her death, in favor of legislation that would bring assisted suicide to the Golden State.

But is more suicide something we really need?

Suicide is a “public-health crisis” in the United States, Dr. Aaron Kheriaty, an associate professor of psychiatry at the University of California Irvine School of Medicine, wrote recently. “According to the Centers for Disease Control, suicide is currently the third leading cause of death among adolescents and young adults and the 10th leading cause of death overall for individuals over the age of 10,” his article for the Catholic journal First Things stated.

Kheriaty said that in Ore-

gon, where physician-assisted suicide has been legal since 1997, suicide rates are 35 percent higher than the national average.

“Refusing to legitimate suicide helps those in need,” Kheriaty writes. “The practice of physician-assisted suicide – by whatever name one calls it – sends a message that some lives are not worth living ... this message will be heard by everyone who is afflicted by suicidal thoughts or tendencies.”

He’s also worried that legal assisted suicide won’t stop at only “mercy” for the terminally ill. He refers to a “relentlessly logical slide from a cancer patient with six months to live to people who are merely unhappy, demoralized, dejected, depressed, or desperate.” This trend has been seen in countries such as the Netherlands and Belgium.

Ryan T. Anderson, in a paper for the Heritage Foundation, agrees. Medically assisted suicide “corrupts the practice of medicine and the doctor-patient relationship,” he writes. “Human life need not be extended by every medical

means possible, but a person should never be intentionally killed. Doctors may help their patients to die a dignified death from natural causes, but they should not kill their patients or help them to kill themselves.”

In her letter to Brittany Maynard, Tippetts illustrated the opportunities that suicide erases: “In your choosing your own death, you are robbing those that love you with ... such tenderness ... the opportunity of meeting you in your last moments and extending you love in your last breaths.”

Assisted suicide is under consideration in about 20 places around the country now (including Washington, D.C.).

Kheriaty points out: “Suicidal individuals typically do not want to die; they want to escape what they perceive as intolerable suffering.”

He adds: “When comfort or relief is offered, in the form of more-adequate treatment for depression, better pain management, or more-comprehensive palliative care, the desire for suicide wanes.”

He then highlights that under Oregon’s assisted suicide law,

“less than 6 percent of the 752 reported cases of individuals who have died by assisted suicide under Oregon’s law were referred for psychiatric evaluation prior to their death.”

This despite knowing “that the vast majority of suicides are associated with clinical depression or other treatable mental disorders.” He calls this “gross medical negligence.” And we’re considering making it mainstream.

“Suffering is not the absence of goodness, it is not the absence of beauty, but perhaps it can be the place where true beauty can be known,” Kara Tippetts wrote in her letter to Brittany Maynard. It would be good to carry out this debate with minds open to the possibilities that the mysteries of life bring with them, and with rigorous attention to ensuring that those who suffer have the support they need to live.

Assisted suicide doesn’t leave room for regrets.

Plainfield Central’s top of the order powers past Joliet Central in tourney / 21

WJOL/DON LADAS MEMORIAL BASEBALL TOURNAMENT QUARTERFINAL: PLAINFIELD CENTRAL 14, JOLIET CENTRAL 0 (5 INN.)

By CURT HERRON cherron@shawmedia.com

• Thursday, April 2, 2015

JOLIET – Plainfield Central baseball coach John Rosner thinks one of the keys to his team’s success this season will be its ability to make things happen at the top of its order.

In Wednesday’s opener of the WJOL/Don Ladas Memorial Tournament at Joliet Central, the Wildcats showed what can happen when their first few hitters enjoy some success.

Among the first five players in their lineup, the Wildcats had 15 baserunners, collected 10 hits and scored nine runs to help them claim a 14-0 win in five innings over the Steelmen.

And as a bonus, the winners received a solid effort from sophomore righthander Brandon Callender, who gave up just two hits and struck out eight while allowing only one runner to reach scoring position.

“It was good that we came out swinging the bats well, especially after not playing real well last night against Morris, and it was good to get on top of them early,” Rosner said.

“And credit to Callender for throwing strikes, challenging their kids and being ahead in the count.

“We really worked hard in the offseason to get to this position, and hopefully it continues. We need to get guys at the top of our lineup to get on base, because if they get on, good things are going to happen. We have quality kids, so it’s really fun to come out every day with this group. They’ve really gotten better from last year to this year.”

While the Wildcats (5-11) managed multiple hits in each frame, they only led, 5-0, through four innings before ending the game early with a nine-run fifth.

Johnny Kostelz (3 for 5, 2 runs), Kyle MacFarlane (1 for 2, RBI), Matt Bunetta (2 for 3), Austin Blazevic (3 for 4, , 2 runs, 2 RBI) and Danny Brandon (1 for 3, 2 runs) got things started in the first five spots for the Wildcats.

“We all try to help each other out, and we have each other’s back,” Kostelz said.

Plainfield Central shortstop Josh Tesch makes the force-out at second base on Joliet Central’s Austin Hughes but could not complete the double play during Wednesday’s quarterfinal of the WJOL/Don Ladas Memorial Tournament at Joliet Central. Plainfield won, 14-0, in five innings.

Joliet Central shortstop Luke DeBenedetti tags out Plainfield Central’s Austin Blazevic on an attempted stolen base and looks back for the call during Wednesday’s game.

“It’s definitely nice when you have guys who can get on base multiple times a game, since that takes pressure off of our defense and our pitchers.

“We have a good group of guys this year, and you can definitely tell that everybody likes each other. We also have an excellent coaching staff. We put a lot of work into the offseason and are just really ex-

cited to see what happens this year.”

Also for the Wildcats, Josh Tesch drove in a run, Callender went 2 for 4 with two RBIs, Anthony Marino was 2 for 3 with two RBIs, and Zack Houghton went 2 for 2 with three RBIs. The Wildcats draw the winner of today’s game between Joliet Catholic and Lockport

in Saturday’s semifinal.

“Our team worked really hard in the offseason, and we’re trying to make a little impact on the school this year,” Brandon said. “This year, we’re really together with a lot of the juniors and Brandon, who’s a sophomore, all coming in nicely. We’re just a big family.

“We knew coming into this

that we could play JCA or Lockport next, and they’re obviously two good teams. We’re really excited to prove ourselves and show people how hard we’ve worked. We have a good group of guys, and I see us doing some good things this year.”

The Steelmen (1-3) hoped to follow up on Tuesday’s win over Rich Central, which was the team’s first of the season and the initial win for new coach Kevin Fitzgerald. But all they could manage against the Wildcats was a pair of hits from Freddy Hernandez.

“Unfortunately, we didn’t come out the way that we should have,” Fitzgerald said.

“We didn’t seem like we were mentally prepared for each pitch and for what we’re going to do when the ball is hit at us.

I thought that Tyler (Lawson) didn’t pitch all that bad, except that he got behind in a lot in counts, which gave them good opportunities.”

WJOL/DON LADAS MEMORIAL BASEBALL TOURNAMENT QUARTERFINAL: JOLIET WEST 8, LINCOLN-WAY WEST 0

Talarico’s 2-hitter powers Joliet West

By DICK GOSS dgoss@shamedia.com NEW LENOX – Joliet West baseball had runners on first and third with nobody out in the bottom of the first inning of Wednesday’s quarterfinal game in the WJOL/Don Ladas Memorial Tournament.

However, Lincoln-Way West senior right-hander John Saffrahn struck out the 3 and 4 hitters in the Tigers’ lineup and was on the verge of a huge escape.

Robert Talarico would have none of it. He went the other way, singling to left field to score a run, and Nick Christopher followed with an RBI single to center for a 2-0 Joliet West lead.

“Getting those runs early was big,” Talarico said.

Talarico indeed did himself a huge favor with his bat. The left-hander went on to complete a two-hit shutout in which he struck out seven and walked

nobody as the Tigers rolled, 8-0.

Of Talarico’s economical 90 pitches, 69 were strikes. He went to three balls on exactly one batter and retired the last 13 he faced.

The only hits for Lincoln-Way West (4-1) in its WJOL Tournament debut were Tyler Dallio’s two-out double in the second and AJ Ashley’s two-out single in the third.

“Both of those were on pitches he [Talarico] would like to have back,” West coach John Karczewski said. “He was really good today. That was one of his better ones.”

Dallio and Ashley were the Warriors’ only baserunners as the Tigers (2-1) played tough defense behind Talarico, the opposite of what occurred Tuesday in Joliet West’s 6-2 loss to Marmion.

“It was a little windy out there, but I tried to work with it,” said Talarico (2-0), who tossed a five-inning no-hitter against Yorkville in his first

start. “The direction the wind was blowing helped my curve.

It broke more than it normally would.

“I hit spots pretty well. They hit the ball a lot, but our defense was good. If we play like that the rest of the tournament, we have a shot at it.”

The Tigers will face Providence at 11:30 a.m. Saturday at Minooka in a semifinal. Lincoln-Way West has the 9 a.m. game there against Minooka.

Joliet West leadoff man Cody Grosse hit the ball well all day and finished with two triples and a double.

“He would have had three triples if he had picked me up sooner,” said Karczewski, who coaches third base.

The regular shortstop, Grosse is nursing a torn labrum and cannot yet throw without pain. So he is serving as the designated hitter for now.

He sent a long fly ball to right-center field to open the

bottom of the first. The Warriors’ right fielder ran a long way and battled the sun and wind. He got his glove on the ball but couldn’t hold it.

Grosse doubled to right to knock in his team’s third run in the second; lined out to left field in the fourth; and tripled to deep center field, drove in a run and scored one in the Tigers’ three-run seventh.

“I felt pretty good,” Grosse said. “The labrum is a day-today thing.”

Griffin McGuire, who was excellent defensively at third base, and Blake Tomac, who had two hits, chipped in with two-out RBI singles in the fourth. Christopher tagged his second run-scoring single in the seventh.

The rest was Talarico and the defense behind him.

What makes Talarico tough? “He has a good offspeed pitch; his velocity is up there; and he’s left-handed, and his delivery is a little different,”

Grosse said.

“The kids came to play today,” Karczewski said. “They were hungry. We chewed them a little after yesterday. We started eight seniors, and if they play like this, they’re going to be a tough team.”

Lincoln-Way West was coming off an impressive 9-5 win Tuesday over highly regarded Homewood-Flossmoor but could not solve Talarico.

“He threw well,” Warriors coach Jake Zajc said. “He threw a multitude of his pitches for strikes. They played great defense, we didn’t, and they got the timely hits.

“We were coming off a big game yesterday. I’ll tell you what – we’re not winning a series against H-F. Today, we had kids in the outfield trying to win spots, and they made some mistakes. It was a learning experience.”

Saffrahn struck out 11 in five innings, and 13 Tigers fanned in all.

WJOL/DON LADAS MEMORIAL BASEBALL TOURNAMENT QUARTERFINAL: PROVIDENCE 18, MINOOKA 7 (6 INN.)

Providence jumps on Minooka in quarterfinal

By JEFF DE GRAW Shaw Media Correspondent

MINOOKA – There will be a new champion in the WJOL/ Don Ladas Memorial Tournament.

Providence baseball continued its hot hitting on a warm, windy Wednesday afternoon and defeated Minooka, 18-7, in six innings. The Indians won last year’s tournament with a thrilling, 10-inning victory over Joliet Catholic.

The Indians, playing on their home field as the visitors, jumped on Providence starter Jake Carlsen with two runs on three hits in the top of the first. Jake Null singled, then Cristian Sanchez singled with one out. Jon Vesper knocked in Null with the third hit of the inning. Tyler Paulsen, the Minooka starting pitcher, got the next RBI on a groundout.

That would be the last lead the Indians would have.

Providence answered in the bottom of the first with four runs on two hits and plated three more in the second on one hit. The one was a threerun homer by Jackson Dvorak. All the Celtic runs in both innings were scored with two outs.

“This has been a good start. I would have never have thought we would be 5-0 with our schedule this early,” Providence coach Mark Smith said. “I like the way we are swinging the bat. We are still learning as a team, learning how to play together. We still must keep working. There is a long way to go.”

In those first two innings, Minooka gave seven walks and hit a batter. For the game, Providence received eight walks and were hit by pitches four times.

“Were are struggling to find the plate – and when we do, we are getting turned around

pretty good,” Minooka coach Jeff Petrovic said. “I think we threw something like 93 pitches in the first three innings, and Providence took advantage of every opportunity.”

Carlsen settled down after the first inning and retired seven in a row before Sanchez homered in the third to make it 7-3.

“I feel good at the plate, but it’s tough to take the loss,” Sanchez said. “I can’t say it was a good game for me because we lost. We need to pull together and get some wins.”

Sanchez was 3 for 3 and was hit by a pitch.

Providence went up, 8-3, in the bottom of the third as Jackson Stulas scored on a double by Zach Pych.

The Celtics sent 12 men to the plate in the fourth and scored seven runs on six hits.

Matt Diehl, Justin Hunniford and Tom Kelley singled, and Brendan O’Brien doubled be-

fore anyone was out. Pych and Mike Madej followed with RBI singles. A wild pitch and three hit batters rounded out the inning for a 15-3 lead.

Madej had a perfect day at the plate, going 2 for 2 with three walks and scoring four times.

“We have a very good hitting team, and I just try to get on base anyway I can,” Madej said. “We have speed and our motto is get on anyway you can, someone will bring you in.”

Minooka (1-4) scored four runs in the top of the fifth to keep the game alive at 15-7.

Doubles by pinch-hitters Brad VanAsdlen and Patrick Rumsey provided the spark for the Indians.

In the bottom of the fifth, junior Joe Butler made his first appearance of the season for the Indians. He set the Celtics down in order.

Butler, who has been bat-

tling a thumb injury, threw a bullpen session earlier in the week and felt ready to go.

“Joe has been really beating himself up that he can’t play and help the team,” Petrovic said. “He is such a competitor. He wants to be out there.”

In the bottom of the sixth, after a single by Madej and Jimmy Jeffries getting on via an error, Dvorak ended the game with his second home run, a blast over the right-field fence.

“I didn’t even know they were out,” Dvorak said. “I was just running hard to get a double. It was windy, but I was just trying to hit the ball hard, just make contact and stay loose,” Minooka will play Lincoln-Way West at 9 a.m. Saturday, while Providence will take on Joliet West at 11:30 a.m. in championship semifinal at Minooka.

MEN’S VOLLEYBALL: N0. 4 LEWIS 3, NO. 2 LOYOLA 1 (22-25, 25-16, 25-23)

ROMEOVILLE – It was April Fools Day on Wednesday, but the Lewis men’s volleyball team was not joking at a packed Neil Carey Arena.

After beating No. 2 Loyola, 3-1, in March, No. 4 Lewis defeated its Midwestern Intercollegiate Volleyball Association rival again, also by a 3-1 score (22-25, 25-16, 25-22, 25-23).

Winning the game made a statement about how good the Flyers are, but it also showed something else.

When a team has two of the best outsides in the nation, some teams might forget about the middles and right side. Lewis’ Bobby Walsh, Jacob Schmiegelt and Eric Fitterer showed teams that they shouldn’t be ignored.

The Flyers (20-2, 11-1) struggled early in the match, being outplayed in almost every statistical aspect. They needed an offensive spark that never really came.

The Flyers lost the first set because they could not contain Ramblers’ outside Thomas Jaeschke, who had eight kills off of 12 swings (.667 percent).

Loyola outhit Lewis .385 to .105, and the Flyers could not capitalize on Loyola’s eight missed serves.

The Flyers played with more passion in the second and played like a completely different team. Greg Petty (14 kills) and Geoff Powell (seven kills, eight digs), who had one kill combined in the first, lit up the court. Petty had five kills, coming from the front and back row, and Powell had three.

“The whole game was a battle, back and forth,” Fitterer said. “They [Loyola] are a great team. Our hitters were doing a great job, and everyone was contributing, and it worked out in the end. That’s what we prepare for every day in practice.

We’re athletes. We’re competitors. We love close games like this.”

The offense also had a huge spark from the middles in the second, Walsh (four kills, eight blocks) and Schmiegelt (four kills, seven blocks), who both

The middles also did something that the Flyers are known for – they blocked very well.

The duo helped contain the strong Ramblers’ offense, which made a huge difference in the game. Walsh, one of the leading blockers in the nation, had four block assists and one block solo to end the second game. The game was a big one for him since he couldn’t play in the March victory over the

Ramblers.

“It was the hardest day of my life to sit out that game,” Walsh said. “It was awesome.

I was a little bit nervous coming in with such a big crowd.

I’ve only seen this one other time, when we played Loyola last season. It was awesome.

I’m proud, because it’s a huge win.”

In the third, the teams battled. After Lewis took a 10-4 lead to start off the third, the

Ramblers regained control.

Ramblers’ middle Jeff Jendryk had a solo block to make the score 15-14 in favor of Lewis, then Jaeschke (19 kills) got hot again.

After trailing, 22-20, the Flyers tied the score at 22 when Fitterer (11 kills, five blocks) – the serving hero from the previous MIVA game – stepped up to the line. Lewis took the second game, 25-22.

In the fourth game and Lew-

is winning, 8-7, Walsh stepped up to the line and dished out a hard serve. The Ramblers overpassed, and Schmiegelt slammed the ball down to provide another spark for Lewis.

While the Ramblers’ offense had hard hits to stay in the game, the Flyers never faltered. Six rotations later and Walsh back in the line, Loyola placed the ball well into a difficult spot to dig. One-handed, Fitterer dove and sent the ball up to Powell who got a kill, making the score 16-13.

One point later, Powell and Schmiegelt stuffed the hitter.

Fitterer made a game-ending statement in the last three points. The right side hitter dominated with two kills and a rocket serve that the Ramblers overpassed and Walsh killed.

Lewis outblocked Loyola, 18 to 7. Setter Scott Fifer had 32 assists and libero Lucas Yanez had six digs.

“I feel like we did what we had planned,” Flyers coach Dan Friend said. “We put great service pressure. We did well on blocking. I think it showed up in games two, three and four. Overall, we did a great job at the net. I thought that we won the net battle against them, and they’re one of – if not the best – offensive teams in the country. The only thing we could do was try to slow them down from the serving line and put a block in a good spot.”

SOFTBALL: JOLIET CATHOLIC 4, MORRIS 3

Callans’ late homer lifts JCA past Morris

By ROB OESTERLE roesterle@shawmedia.com MORRIS – With two outs and a runner on second base in the top of the fourth inning, Joliet Catholic’s Alyssa Callans drove a ball deep to left field. Morris left fielder Jasmine Cook chased it down and caught it just shy of the fence.

Coming back to the bench, JCA softball coach Dave Douglas said to Callans, “That ball was almost gone. You hit it more on a line, and it’s out of here.”

Apparently, Callans listened. In her next at-bat, with two outs and nobody on in the top of the seventh, she drove a pitch deep to left. This one was not as high as the previous one, but it went farther – far

enough to get over the fence for a solo home run that broke a 3-all tie and gave the Angels a 4-3 lead. She then went out and retired Morris in order in the bottom of the seventh to preserve the lead and finish the nonconference win.

“The time before, she almost got it out of here,” Douglas said. “This one went a little bit farther, and it was enough.

“This was a good game by both teams. Their outfield was amazing. They made some great plays. This game couldn’t have been any closer.”

JCA (2-2) got on the board first. Reilly Jo Swanson was hit by a pitch, then went to second on a grounder to first

by Brenna Garland. A wild pitch sent her to third, and

Callans grounded back to the mound, scoring Swanson.

Two walks and a single loaded the bases, but Morris pitcher Abby Burns got Paige Callans on a fly ball to left to leave the runners stranded.

Morris (6-2) countered in the bottom of the first. With one out, Amanda Jenkins singled, and Emily Moore did the same. Ashley Phelps reached on an error to load the bases before Janelle Brehm doubled to center to score both Jenkins and Moore. Alyssa Callans escaped further damage by striking out the next two batters, and Morris led, 2-1, after an inning.

“We could have broken the game open right there in the first inning,” Morris coach Jen Lowery said. “But we didn’t execute well in the box.

We took some called-third strikes with runners in scoring position.”

After a scoreless second inning for both teams, JCA went back ahead in the third. Alyssa Callans led off with a single, and Alivia Phelps walked, Kayla Bennett sacrificed the runners to second and third, and a single by Caitlyn Spreitzer scored both runners for a 3-2 Angel lead.

Burns settled in after that, retiring 13 of the next 15 batters she faced before Callans’ homer in the seventh. The Redskins turned a 6-4-3 double play in the fifth after Phelps led off with her third walk of the game. Burns finished with four walks and five strikeouts and allowed six hits.

The Redskins tied the score in the bottom of the fourth.

Brehm led off with a walk and was sacrificed to second

by Burns. An out later, Leah Lines singled to score Brehm.

In the bottom of the sixth, Ashley Phelps led off with a single, and Brehm bunted.

The throw went to second but was too late, putting runners on first and second with no outs. Burns bunted the runners to second and third, but Callans got a strikeout, and JCA shortstop Spreitzer made a play on a ball hit up the middle by Lines and threw her out at first to end the inning, setting up Callans’ seventh-inning heroics.

“I think this was our best game of the year so far,” Douglas said. “We played a full seven innings today. That’s what we’ve been working toward, so it was nice to see that.”

Plainfield church jazzes up Easter celebration Nontraditional music emphasizes ‘joy and celebration of life in the risen Christ’ If you go

By HANNAH KOHUT hkohut@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – Like many other churches, Harvest Church in Plainfield is busy planning its Easter Sunday services.

However, unlike other churches, it will not have a sermon.

That’s right. No sermon.

And fancy Easter suits and dresses are not required.

But here’s what it will have – a jazz concert. And a Grammy-winning musician headlining it. And a famous music director.

That’s because pastor Nolan McCants wants people to “experience the joy and celebration of life in the risen Christ.”

“Our mission statement opens with, ‘creatively introducing the Gospel of the kingdom,’” McCants said. “[This service] is a protest, to me, of the predictable Easter services. We wanted to open the door of opportunity to people who may never go to church.”

Both the 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. services Sunday will feature the music of Grammy-winning jazz saxophonist Kirk Whalum, along with Michael “Nomad” Ripoll, the musical director and guitarist for Kenny “Babyface” Edmonds, according to a news release.

Whalum, who won a Grammy in 2011 for Best Gospel Song, is perhaps best known for playing the saxophone on “I Will Always Love You” by Whitney Houston.

He has also recorded and performed with Barbra Streisand, Al Jarreau, Luther Vandross, Larry Carlton and Quincy Jones, the release said. In addition, Whalum has recorded more than 25 solo albums and appeared on several film soundtracks.

Ripoll – guitarist, teacher, composer and contributor to several film scores – has worked with a long list of

“The death and resurrection signify newness, and that’s what jazz music is.

It’s improvised and new.”

McCants feels his jazzed-up Easter service fully reflects the Gospel message of Easter.

“Jesus said he came that we might have life, and have it more abundantly,” said McCants, himself a jazz drummer. “After the resurrection, there was an opportunity for

life, and we are living it.”

Whalum, performing for the third time at Harvest Church, agreed.

“The death and resurrection signify newness, and that’s what jazz music is. It’s improvised and new,” said Whalum, also an ordained minister. “We believe God is also a participant, not just a doting father looking on. He is involved, and we believe the spirit of God is in us and

participating in [improvised] movement.”

McCants said he has known the Memphis-based musician for several years and always looks forward to working with him.

“He’s more than just a paid entertainer,” McCants said of Whalum. “He is involved in what we do, by tracking what we do and communicating with us. He’s an extremely humble man who loves God

and has been very successful in performing in both Christian and mainstream arenas.”

Parishioner Tommie Van of Plainfield said he and his wife have been members of the church for 10 years and appreciate the nontraditional concert services.

“Every other Easter, it’s the same service,” Van said of other churches. “It becomes religion and tends to push people away. When I saw this ‘Jazzy Easter,’ I knew it was something that could pull people in, to show that Christians are not that bad.

We listen to the same music as [nonchurchgoers] do.”

In the 11 years McCants has hosted the Easter concerts, he has mixed up the genres, having celebrated Easter though classical music, even salsa music. McCants said the church packs in about 400 people each year.

“When people come in, they will definitely feel the joy and celebration that is taking place,” McCants said.

And, yes, people can expect to hear “I Will Always Love You” on Easter morning.

FAITH BRIEFS Students at St. Ambrose Church prepare for Easter

CREST HILL – During Lent, the first- and second-grade children in the religious education program at St. Ambrose Church focused on the Gospels leading up to Holy Week and Easter.

They participated in a weekly liturgy, completed puzzles and worksheets, colored and discussed the topics. Easter treats were presented to children who completed the tasks.

Brenda Laudadio, Jen Kolaski and Jerry Kolaski Jr. teach the classes.

Children in the fourth-grade class focused on passion events and prayer experiences, culminating in the presentation of a passion play. Kim LiCavoli and Patricia Hedemark teach the fourth grade.

The confirmation class joined with their parents/sponsors in praying the Stations of the Cross and then engaging in community spirit-building activities. Rene Sutter and Holly

PUZZLES SUDOKU

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

Count correctly, then play correctly

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Lawrence Durrell, an author born in India who lived in several countries and died in France, said, “I’m trying to die correctly, but it’s very difficult, you know.”

That is both depressing and humorous. At the bridge table, finding the correct play can be very difficult.

This deal, for example, would trip up a lot of players.

How should South plan the play in three no-trump after West leads his fourth-highest heart to dummy’s bare ace?

In the given auction, North’s twoclub rebid was New Minor Forcing, promising at least game-invitational values and asking opener for more information. Two diamonds denied both three-card spade support and four hearts. Three clubs was natural and game-forcing. (If you do not use New Minor Forcing, North should rebid three clubs, and South would continue with three no-trump.)

South starts with seven top tricks: two hearts, three diamonds and two clubs. So, a 3-3 diamond division is enough – but that split is against the odds; and if it exists, it will still be there in a minute if the club suit proves unhelpful. First, declarer should try to collect four club tricks. At trick two, he should cash dummy’s club ace. When East drops the jack, South continues with the club eight (or nine) from the dummy. If the suit splits 3-2, he has the desired four club tricks. Here, though, West wins with his ten.

Then, when declarer gets into your hand, he can finesse dummy’s club nine (or eight) and run for home with two hearts, three diamonds and four clubs. ******

CMV infection in newborns whose mothers were infected during pregnancy can cause serious disability. The effects of CMV in newborns can vary greatly. Some babies may die from the infection, but others may have no long-lasting effects.

Newborns with CMV are likely to be born premature and at a low birth weight. They may be born with a small brain or other nervous system disorders that can cause seizures, deafness, mental disability or death. CMV can cause the liver and spleen to enlarge, liver abnormalities that cause yellowing of the skin and eyes and blood disorders.

Parents, including expectant mothers, can become infected from their children, though.

CMV does not spread easily. Still, someone like you who is pregnant should be careful if you have young kids in the house. The following tips may reduce your risk of getting CMV: • Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after changing diapers.

• Don’t kiss young children under the age of 5 or 6 on the mouth or cheek. Instead, kiss them on the head or give them a big hug.

• Don’t share food, drinks or utensils with young children.

• Don’t put a child’s pacifier in your mouth.

(Seem obvious? I’ve had at least one patient do it thoughtlessly.)

These few precautions can protect you and your baby from becoming seriously ill from a virus that usually causes no harm.

Crossword

S U P E R B O W L T I

pregnancy checkup, my doctor said something about cytomegalovirus.

What is that, and what does it have to do with pregnancy?

Dear Reader: Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is one of eight members of the family of human herpesviruses. The first two are the viruses that cause “herpes” sores of the mouth, genitals and other areas.

All of the herpesviruses cause a lifelong infection. Once you are infected with CMV, it always remains in your body, generally causing no trouble. Up to 85 percent of adults in the United States have been infected. The virus can pass from person to person through body fluids such as blood, urine or saliva. Women can pass CMV to their unborn babies in the womb, in vaginal secretions during delivery and in breast milk after birth.

In most healthy adults and children, a new infection with CMV results only in mild and temporary symptoms. In fact, a new infection often is “silent,” causing no symptoms at all.

Adults get seriously ill from CMV primarily when their immune systems become weakened by disease (such as HIV infection) or treatments that suppress the immune system.

But CMV can be serious, and even fatal, for newborn babies. That’s why, if you are pregnant, your doctor may want to test you for CMV. When a pregnant woman becomes newly infected with CMV during pregnancy, there is a 40 percent chance her baby will become infected. In contrast, less than 2 percent of babies born to mothers who were infected with CMV before they became pregnant are infected. And their problems tend to be less severe.

HOROSCOPE TODAY – Show your individuality. You can make your mark in a big way by putting your own spin on the tasks you accomplish. Taking pride in what you do and believing in your personality and talents will draw positive attention and rewards.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – It’s time to finalize the deal that will bring the highest reward. If you don’t put in the time and effort now, a great opportunity will be missed.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Financial gains are looking good. You should put any emotional issues on the back burner while you focus on getting ahead and securing your position.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Things may appear to be running smoothly, but you should take a closer look. Personal matters are heading in a negative direction due to a lack of nurturing and attentiveness on your part.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Confrontations are best avoided. Work on a cre-

ative pastime that will keep you away from disgruntled colleagues or family members. Don’t waste time worrying about things that haven’t happened.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – If you put your best foot forward, you will reach your highest potential. You are no stranger to hard work, so keep the momentum going and financial rewards will come to you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Don’t allow disagreements to fester. You are best off letting your true feelings be known when settling troublesome matters.

Acknowledge that you may be partially to blame for any discord.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – A pleasant surprise lies ahead. Take a few hours to enjoy good times with friends or loved ones. All work and no play leads to stress and unhappiness.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Things are looking up. Now is the time to try something that you have always wanted to do. Take a trip, join a theater

group or sign up for a creative course that intrigues you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Stop dwelling on things you cannot change.

If you put personal and emotional issues aside, you will have the energy to get a lot done. Keeping busy will be necessary.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – A hasty decision could have negative repercussions. This is not a day for wheeling and dealing. Spend some quiet time with loved ones and recharge your batteries.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – With patience and determination, you will be able to make things go your way.

Don’t be deterred by someone who doesn’t know you well and who fails to understand your motives.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – You will need to think on your feet. Your day isn’t likely to go according to plan. Use your wit and gumption to overcome any obstacle in your path.

Dear Abby: I am a 91-year-old reader with a story to tell. In 1958, I married a man every woman would have loved to have.

He was one of a kind. I had two boys from a previous marriage, and this wonderful man adopted them.

In 1963, before homosexuality was understood or openly accepted, I discovered my oldest son was gay.

I didn’t take it well because of the way I was raised. In fact, I came unglued. My husband took me in his arms and said, “Honey, he is no different today than he was yesterday.”

The rest is a long story, but this wonderful man – a stepfather – gave acceptance to his son and taught it to me.

His words helped me to value my own son as the person he is.

If his words can help some other parent, I am passing them on. – Ever

Dear Abby: I’m an alcoholic.

My husband blames it for everything that goes wrong in our lives. Not invited to a coveted party?

They must have heard what an ass I made of myself four years ago.

I love my husband and don’t want to leave him.

However, he is blind to the similarities to his overeating and smoking.

I’m at my wit’s end. He refuses to see, while point-

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips ing out to our friends that I’m not supposed to drink, that I could be as nasty as he is and say things like, “You’re not supposed to smoke,” or, “You’re overweight and shouldn’t eat that.”

I’m sick of being humiliated and tired of feeling like I owe him something because he “overlooks” me being an alcoholic. How can I get him to see these things are all addictions and hard to kick, and he should quit looking down his nose at me? – Humiliat-

ed In Texas Dear Humiliated: Your

letter proves the truth of the saying alcoholism is a “family disease.”

The more your husband draws attention to your alcohol problem, the less he is forced to confront his own addictions to food and tobacco, and it also serves as a distraction.

It’s comfortable for him, allows him to feel superior and benefits him because it makes him an object of sympathy. This is neither helpful nor healthy for either of you.

I have said many times that you cannot change another person. However, a licensed mental health professional may be able to help you understand why you tolerate your husband’s behavior – and might even be able to give you insight into why you drink the way you do.
