By BOB OKON bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The Joliet City Council on Tuesday voted to give away the old scoreboard at Silver Cross Field.

The council also discussed summer jobs, Union Station and Joliet Community Television.

Prayers were requested for two former councilmen: Tony Uremovic, who is in critical condition after a heart attack over the weekend; and Ken Pritz, who died last week.

Scoreboard

Joliet Catholic Academy will get the scoreboard for $1 after the council voted to declare it surplus property.

The city is putting in a new, $360,000 scoreboard at Silver Cross Field. JCA asked if it could have the old one.

City Manager Jim Hock said JCA will get only the scoreboard and not the video screen, support structure or electronic operating system.

Hock said a scrap dealer offered $200 for the board but, “We’d have to haul it over there, and the city doesn’t

even have a flatbed truck to move it.”

Summer jobs

Councilwoman Bettye Gavin called for the city to develop a summer jobs program, an idea that was an issue in the recent election campaign.

Gavin said the city should hire young people for mowing, clean-up and other light maintenance tasks.

Also, Hock said the city this summer will hire four college students for a tree inventory as well as four young people for cleanup projects around the city. Information about the jobs will be posted on the city website, he said.

Union Station

Councilman Jim McFarland asked city staff to review an exiting arrangement that gives Bussean Custom Caterers exclusive use of The Grand Ballroom at Union Station.

McFarland said Bussean’s lease expired in December and urged city officials to consider making the space available to multiple caterers so it could generate more revenue from Union Station.

JCTV

Scott Kinsella, director of information technology for the city, will work with Joliet Community Television to update bylaws and discuss ways to increase community involvement in the station.

The City Council at its last meeting heard from a JCTV volunteer who questioned certain operations at the community TV station, which gets funding through the city.

JCTV also was embroiled in a controversy in March over a decision to not tape a debate in the mayoral election.

Former councilmen

Councilman Mike Turk, who visited Uremovic in the hospital Tuesday, reported his condition is critical after a weekend heart attack. Uremovic was a councilman for nearly 25 years before opting not to run for re-election in 2011.

Council members also remembered Pritz, a councilman in the 1970s, who died April 12. Pritz was an owner of J.D. Brown & Company and Jacob Henry Mansion Estate, which his family will continue to own.

Lottery drawing required to break tie in Plainfield trustee race

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – A lottery drawing will determine the final winner in the race for Plainfield village trustee.

Following Tuesday’s count of provisional and mail-in ballots by the Will County Clerk’s Office, candidates Brian Wojowski and Michael Lambert remained in a deadlock with 741 votes apiece. Kendall County ballots are included in those totals.

Wojowski and Lambert were two of six candidates who vied for three spots on the board in the April 7 election.

They are tied for third place.

The rare tie will be decided with a lottery drawing Friday at the Will County Clerk’s Of-

Brian Wojowski

fice, Will County Clerk Nancy Schultz Voots said.

“This is only the second lottery we’ve done since I’ve been in office,” said Schultz Voots, who was elected in 2002.

How it works

Under Illinois law, when Michael two or more Lambert candidates tie, the county clerk shall determine the election “by lot.”

“Some use a coin toss or a [high-card draw],” Schultz Voots said. “We use bingo

balls.”

Schultz said a container with two bingo balls, with the numbers one and two on them, will be shaken before the candidates draw. Whoever pulls the bingo ball with the No. 1 on it will be declared the winner, she said.

With all provisional ballots counted Tuesday, incumbent Bill Lamb secured one of three spots on the board, with 768 votes. Candidate Edward O’Rourke also won a seat, with 759 votes.

They came out ahead of candidate Mark Chmura, who received 583 votes, and John Green, who received 444 votes.

Four of the six candidates – including Wojowski and Lambert – were within nine votes of each other on Election Day.

Tips to make your home more energy efficient

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – Alain Rivera has had homes built for him in the past, but the Plainfield resident wanted to reduce his energy footprint.

So he ended up searching for an energy efficient home builder.

“Part of the goal was to have an energy efficient home,” Rivera said, adding he also needed a home that wouldn’t aggravate his son’s allergies.

Rivera discovered DJK Custom Homes, which specializes in highly efficient houses.

“They showed and explained to me the materials they use, and I was sold,” he said.

Rivera and his family moved into their new home last month, and were pleased with the results.

“Those other homes and this home? It’s not even comparable,” he said.

HERS score

Home builders use the Home Energy Rating System, or HERS, score to measure a home’s energy efficiency.

DJK boasts a HERS score of 51, which means for every dollar spent in energy on a home built to the 2004 International Energy Conservation Code.

“It’s like the home’s miles per gallon,” Vice President Kevin Kittilsen said.

Certified raters through the Residential Energy Services Network, or RESNET, measure the energy efficiency of a home.

Dan Kittilsen, Kevin’s father and president of DJK, said the next big thing in the energy efficient home market will be net-zero energy efficient homes. DJK built one of these on the Will County side of Naperville, in the 600 block of Knoch Knolls Road.

Net-zero means the HERS score of the home is zero, and it will generate more energy than it uses.

ABOVE: The interior of an energy efficient model home built by DJK Custom Homes in Plainfield. BELOW: Kevin Kittilsen of DJK Custom Homes talks Thursday about the construction techniques and materials that are used to build an energy efficient home in Plainfield.

The home, owned by Dan Kittilsen, is powered by 40 solar panels and includes several energy saving additions, including drywall that cleans the air.

Dan Kittilsen said DJK’s goal was to be a leader in a niche market when the 27-yearold business refocused its home building in the early 2000s.

Walls matter

Dan Kittilsen said most of a home’s energy efficiency potential comes in the makeup of the walls.

“We focus on making that as efficient as possible,” he said.

That means using state-ofthe-art insulation board from Dow Building Solutions, cellulose insulation, elastomeric sealant and the use of 2 by 4 studs to prevent thermal bridging. Other insulation is made from recycled materials.

DJK displays a cross section of the walls of a home in its model home at 26108 Stewart Ridge Drive in Plainfield to

Q Install a door sweep on doors leading outside or to the garage.

Q Replace porch lights with compact fluorescent light bulbs, and install an Energy Star certified fixture.

Q Install a clear plastic film over windows during winter months to reduce drafts.

Q Use white window shades to reflect heat away from the house.

Q Add insulation to the attic, where some of the biggest air leaks occur.

Q Replace appliances, light bulbs and fixtures with Energy Star certified products.

Q Install ceiling fans and use them as alternatives to cool the home, and warm it if the fan has a reverse switch.

Q Buy low-flow shower heads.

Q Use power strips for electronics to reduce power loss because of electronics’ standby time.

Q Use a programmable thermostat.

Q Seal the rim joist, where the cement meets the wood frame at the top of the wall in the basement.

show how insulated the walls are.

“You can really feel the difference,” Rivera said of stepping into his new home. “And I don’t even need to change a [thermostat].”

Another addition that brings DJK’s HERS score down is an energy recovery ventilation, or a fresh air, system.

“It expels stale air,” Dan Kittilsen said. “A lot of people come to us because of allergies.”

The system pumps in three to five new batches of fresh air every day, he said, describing the process as “controlled breathing.”

Other additions include touch water faucets, a smaller furnace by an energy efficient contractor and energy efficient windows.

Reducing the footprint

A home’s layout is important too.

Dan Kittilsen said he added large windows in the main family room of the home to decrease dependence on lights.

While the room boasts a large, two-story ceiling, Dan Kittilsen said it was a misconception that more open space means a higher energy bill.

“It’s really the walls you have to worry about,” he said.

Kevin Kittilsen said the homes also lower the impact on the ecosystem around the house.

Lot design and landscaping is important, and Kevin Kittilsen said DJK tries to plan for more natural plantings, such as milkweed and other prairie plants.

“The things we work hard for, it’s worth it,” Rivera said.

“I just can’t wait to get my first bill.”

Amtrak budget cuts undermine plans for Joliet transportation center

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Proposed state budget cuts to Amtrak would “certainly fly in the face” of the city’s efforts in building a new multi-modal transportation center downtown, Joliet Mayor-elect Bob O’Dekirk said Tuesday.

Gov. Bruce Rauner’s proposed state budget would cut 40 percent from Illinois’ funding for Amtrak trains at a time when ridership is climbing. The Republican governor’s proposed cuts are part of a series of efforts he’s undertaken to balance Illinois’ deficit budget.

The cuts reduce Amtrak’s state funding from $40 million to $26 million.

It’s unclear where services will be cut, an Amtrak spokesman said Tuesday, but proposed cuts would definitely lead to job cuts and fewer lines.

The downtown transportation center is one of the biggest – and most expensive – capital projects going on in Joliet, with a price tag of $46 million.

The city is “pumping a lot of money” into the new transportation center, O’Dekirk said, with hopes that improved services and highspeed rail will help bring businesses and other development to the downtown area.

Lathan Goumas – lgoumas@shawmedia.com

A train arrives at the Metra Rock Island District platform Sept. 26 in Joliet. Gov. Bruce Rauner’s proposed state budget would cut 40 percent from Illinois’ funding for Amtrak trains at a time when ridership is climbing.

“With the idea of a new station, [we hope to see] new restaurants and businesses and things like that,” O’Dekirk said.

The Lincoln Service line – which runs through Joliet

from Chicago to St. Louis – saw 633,531 passengers last federal fiscal year, according to Amtrak data. That’s a 25 percent increase from five years ago, according to data.

Ridership statewide has

increased from 519,000 in 2006 to 1.2 million over that same period, said Derrick James, Amtrak government affairs senior manager.

Joliet isn’t the only Illinois city with plans to build “trans-

portation hubs” to attract new business, James said.

“When you have a good rail service, improved service and people using the train, it’s like having a little freeway system downtown,” James said.

Will County officials: Be on alert for canine flu

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Though no cases of the canine flu have been confirmed in Will County, animal control and other local officials urge dog owners to remain alert.

There have been more than 1,100 confirmed dog flu cases reported from the greater Chicago area. At least six fatalities

have been reported, according to a news release from the Will County Health Department.

At least four suspected dog flu cases have been reported in Will County, but additional testing ruled out the H3N2 virus strain, according to the release. At least two of the four suspected local cases were linked to dog care facilities.

Will County Animal Control Administrator Lee Schild

urged precautions to help area dog owners protect their pets.

“This is a significant outbreak caused by a virus of Asian lineage,” Schild said in the news release. “Dog flu is common in the U.S., but this is a strain we haven’t seen before. Until the outbreak shows signs of subsiding, it would be prudent to avoid dog parks and keep dogs separated as much as possible.”

Cindy Cain, spokeswomen for the Forest Preserve District of Will County, said Tuesday there have been no reported cases in the district’s five dog parks, but owners should remain alert.

She urged dog owners to notify the district if a pet visits a park and shows canine flu symptoms.

The H3N2 virus can cause a lingering cough, lethargic be-

havior, poor appetite and fever in pets. It is not transmittable to humans.

“If the dog is ill, and they’ve been at the dog park, we want people to let us know,” Cain said. “That way, we can get a sense of [the situation] if something does come this way.”

When applying for dog park permits, users are required to provide proof the animal is current on vaccinations.

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A Romeoville woman was sentenced Tuesday to six years in prison for her role in supplying the heroin that killed a Homer Glen man in 2011.

Kristina L. Keating, 24, also has agreed to testify in any other criminal cases that may arise from Emilio R. Medina’s fatal overdose on Oct. 29, 2011.

Assistant Will County State’s Attorney Michael Knick said Keating, Medina’s roommate and another man drove to Chicago to buy heroin the day before and returned to Medina’s residence in the 14000 block of South Oakdale Circle.

Will County sheriff’s police said Medina did not go with them because he was wearing an ankle-monitoring bracelet.

Medina, Keating and the other man snorted heroin at the kitchen table before Keating and the other man left. Medina’s roommate, who denied

ever using heroin to investigators, said Medina found some more in a small bag as they were cleaning up and snorted it before going to sleep on the couch, according to Knick.

Medina’s mother and sister found him unresponsive the next afternoon. Knick said witnesses would’ve testified Keating was on the phone while paramedics were there and told Medina’s mother, “It was not my fault. He texted me saying he wanted it.”

Keating was busted by Romeoville police for drug possession in February 2012 and sentenced to three years in prison before being charged in March 2013 with Medina’s death.

Keating told Judge Edward Burmila she had nothing to say before she was sentenced. If the case had gone to trial, she could have faced up to 30 years behind bars. Keating will receive credit for serving about a yearand-a-half in jail and will be eligible for parole after serving 75 percent of her sentence.

Joliet therapy center involved in scholarship fundraiser

By BOB OKON bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Westside Children’s Therapy in Joliet will have a big role in a fundraiser Saturday that includes activities such as ice skating, lessons in the sport of curling, food and live music.

It’s the third Occasion for Education fundraiser for the Hoku Scholarship, a fund created by Mark Cassidy, business consultant for Westside Children’s Therapy.

Cassidy created the scholarship fund while teaching

in Hawaii at a school where a small percentage of students went on to college. The fund has expanded to include Percy L. Julian High School on Chicago’s South Side, where it also is used to encourage students to attend college.

“In the schools that we serve, less than 10 percent of students will get a college degree,” Cassidy said. “We’re trying to change that around so 90 percent get a college degree.”

Occasion for Education starts at 2 p.m. and runs to midnight at Seven Bridges Ice Arena, 6690 S. Route 53, Wo-

odridge.

The event includes the Illinois High School Alumni Hockey Tournament, with 16 teams.

The event is staffed by more than 100 volunteers. Cassidy said about 30 volunteers are coming from the staff of Westside Children’s Therapy, started in 1997 by Cassidy’s mother, Shari.

The entrance fee on Saturday is $15 in advance and $20 at the door. Tickets can be purchased online at o4e.ticketleap. com/occasion-4-education.

Additional fees are charged

“It’s important that people know where our new location is,” McDermed said in a news release, “and that they can get a chance to see what kind of resources myself and my office can provide to the community.”

McDermed will collect nonperishable food to help fill the need at the Frankfort and New

Lenox Township Food Pantries.

In addition to nonperishable food, the Frankfort and New Lenox Township Food Pantries also accept monetary donations.

For information, call Rep. Margo McDermed’s office at 815-277-2079.

QUICK NEWS McDermed invites public to open house

FRANKFORT – State Rep. Margo McDermed, R-Mokena, is extending an invitation to the residents of the 37th District to attend her District Office Open House from 9:30 a.m. to noon Saturday at 11032 W. Lincoln Highway in Frankfort.

for participation in the events, which include broomball and beanbag tournaments. Family activities include children’s games, face-painting and balloon artists.

Hoku Scholars has provided more than $42,000 to 70 students. The fund also bene-

fits students at Waianae High School and Kamaile Academy in Hawaii.

Students must meet standards for grades, attendance, community involvement and extracurricular activities while attending high school to earn the scholarships.

The Bonnie McBeth Early Learning Center will also have screenings for children ages 3 and 4 who reside in District 202 for next year’s Preschool for All state preschool program.

School officials said Preschool for All is a state-funded program serving children who demonstrate some developmental delays and have certain risk factors that may affect school success.

Children must be 3 years old before Sept. 1 to qualify for a screening.

The screenings are planned for early June and will be done at the Bonnie McBeth Early Learning Center. There will be no charge for the screening, but proof of residency and a certified birth certificate will be required. To schedule an appointment, call 815-577-4114.

PLAINFIELD – Students will see Thursday a Vietnam War battle up close at Plainfield Central High School.

The battle will be fought by re-enactors as part of a program to teach students about the Vietnam War. The re-enactment will include the sound of gunfire coming from blanks, so school officials have advised parents and students through email notifications and robo calls to be aware of the event.

“When the guns start going off, they’re loud and they sound like real guns,” said Tom Hernandez, Plainfield School District 202 spokesman. “For [students] it’s very powerful and brings the whole thing to life.”

This school year represents the first time the re-enactors – among them Plainfield Central graduate Eric Percy – will make a special history presen-

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

CELEBRATING SUPPORTIVE LIVING WEEK

QUICK NEWS BRACEVILLE – Operators returned Braidwood Generating Station Unit 1 to full power Tuesday, marking the end of the unit’s scheduled refueling outage that began March 30.

More than 2,000 Exelon employees and contractors performed more than 8,500 carefully choreographed activities during the outage, according to a news release from the station, including safety inspections and equipment tests, along with plant refurbishments and improvements.

“This planned refueling and maintenance outage afforded us the opportunity to upgrade a number of key components that will help the station run more efficiently and effectively for

another 18-month operating cycle,” Mark Kanavos, Braidwood Station Site vice president, said in the news release.

Exelon operates 11 nuclear units at six sites in Illinois which provide 48 percent of the state’s total electricity and 90 percent of its carbon-free electricity, according to the news release.

tation on the Vietnam War, Hernandez said. “[Percy] usually does different facets of World War II,” Hernandez said.

In December, Percy and other re-enactors taught students how American soldiers used various strategies to win battles, such as shooting a target until an enemy appears and gets hit.

Plainfield Central Humanities Chair Steve Lamberti previously said Percy has held re-enactments at the high school every year since 2004.

Percy and the re-enactors will talk about key aspects of a particular battle and give students a living history of that battle. They wear authentic uniforms and gear as part of the presentation.

Hernandez said it’s fascinating for students to learn how “so many different things had an effect on how wars were fought, won and lost.”

The preschool now has enough room for residents outside the district.

“Until now, we really didn’t have enough space to work logistically,” said Tom Hernandez, Plainfield District 202 spokesman.

Open registration for outof-district residents will take place from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Monday at the Bonnie McBeth Early Learning Center, 15730 S. Howard St. Registration

School officials said out-ofdistrict students who participate in the Plainfield program cannot be eligible for the Preschool for All program or for special education services, which must be provided in the students’ resident districts.

Monthly tuition for out-ofdistrict residents is $275 for the five-day program, $225 for the three-day program and $175 for the two-day program.

Tuition must be paid one month in advance, and a 10 percent discounted monthly fee is applied to each additional sibling.

Monthly tuition for residents and district employees is $250 for the five-day program, $200 for the three-day program and $150 for the twoday program. Tuition must also be paid one month in advance.

Dakota Sater and Kole Fischer watch Alex Lindemann weld at the Grundy Area Vocational Center eighthgrade career fair on Tuesday in Morris.

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Eighth-graders from throughout Grundy County were invited Tuesday to attend the Community Foundation of Grundy County and the Grundy Area Vocational Center’s eighth-grade career fair.

The students met with and discussed career options with professionals from a host of fields, from health care to cosmetology and automotive technology to criminal justice.

“The purpose was to get eighth-graders looking at careers,” said Devan Gagliardo, program director of the Community Foundation. “I couldn’t be happier with the turnout.”

Jillian Munsell, an eighthgrade student at Immaculate Conception School in Morris, said she talked to as many exhibitors as she could while her class was there.

“I looked at as much as I could. I played a lot of the games they had, and I learned how each company had different positions that I never thought about,” she said. “I learned that companies like Nicor and Exelon have positions like environmentalists and attorneys.

I thought they just had engineers and technicians.”

Gagliardo said showing the

students the different types of jobs within local companies was one of the goals of the event.

Anna Misener, an eighth-grader from Mazon-Verona-Kinsman Middle School, said the career fair was a good experience. She has always known she wants to go into a medical profession, but didn’t realize all the jobs that were available in that field.

“I know what I want to be, a cardiothoracic or pediatric surgeon,” Misener said. “But this helped me to see what else there is. I really liked it.”

She said she was able to meet different people she wouldn’t have had access to and she appreciated having the venue to do so.

The experience is great for students who will be entering high school, ICS Principal Kim DesLauriers said. It not only lets them see what careers are out there, but also shows what GAVC has to offer as they enter high school.

“GAVC for some kids is a marvelous thing,” DesLauriers said. “They are starting to think about what they want to be, and this helps plant the seeds.”

He said giving the students the tools is what will lead them to a career choice sooner, rath-

er than spending extra time in college figuring out what they want to be.

“In eight years or less, these kids will be in the workforce,” he said. “If they go to college it helps to know what they want to go for.”

Grant Hatteberg, an eighthgrade student at ICS, has always known he wants to go into criminal justice and law enforcement.

The fair allowed him to speak to people in the field he is looking at, and get a better understanding of what is ahead for him in school.

“It was a good experience,” he said. “I got a better understanding of what is in my future.”

He was excited to find out that if he was to attend GAVC for criminal justice, he would be able to ride with a local police officer as part of his classwork.

“It gave me a lot of interesting knowledge,” Hatteberg said.

Gagliardo said the immediate feedback from the exhibitors was positive. She said the event was a success and is looking forward to hosting it again next year with even more exhibitors available to present their profession to the students.

By C.R. Walker Many seniors reach a point in their lives where the support they receive from family and friends just isn’t enough to live each day without being overwhelmed and stressed.

But, when do you really know that it’s time to make the move?

As a caregiver, if you are worrying more about their safety than previously, and perhaps have seen some bruises or other hidden injuries that they aren’t willing to discuss, consideration is required.

Are they becoming more forgetful? Are they no longer maintaining the home? Are they not eating and taking their medications appropriately? Are they frequently wearing the same clothes?

Have they lost interest in doing things, like going shopping, and seem lonely and depressed?

If you find yourself answering “yes,” to some or

many of these questions, then it’s vital for you and your loved one to find an assisted living community.

Discover a well-maintained community that has a homelike feel, happy residents, busy activity schedule and a varied daily menu so your loved one can enjoy a social lifestyle and get the help he or she requires for everyday living.

Throughout the process remember to keep your loved one’s safety and well being at the forefront of decision-making. Moving is stressful, especially with the emotions tied to a home one’s lived in for a long time. Still, you know this is the right decision. Keep your loved one informed of the process and visit several communities to find the best fit.

Transition won’t necessarily come easily. At the Inn at Willow Falls in Crest Hill, (815) 725-5868, they have a “Guardian Angel” program that helps residents get acquainted with the surroundings of their new home. It’s suggested that you utilize such a program when you find the right community.

Also contributing to the sign are the park district, the People for the Channahon Parks Foundation and the Three Rivers Festival Committee, according to Mike Petrick, Channahon community development director.

The sign could be used to relay information such as park district and village

City of

events, police department messages, and communications from noncommercial local organizations, such as the Boy Scouts.

The sign will cost more than $100,000, including landscaping, Petrick said, and the park district will pay for the electricity and maintenance.

Preliminary designs show the sign and its cabinet will be more than 9 feet tall and 14 feet wide. Still to be decided is who will administer the sign’s messages and what kind of messages will be allowed to run, Petrick said.

CHANNAHON – Channahon’s incipient town center is one step closer to seeing its first construction – a senior living community.

If all goes well with an application submitted to the Illinois Housing Authority last month, complex construction could begin in March 2016.

Jim Roberts, with Affordable Housing Consultants, represents Catholic Charities on the project. The 14 acres of property tagged for the development, as well as most of the remainder of land set aside for the town center, is owned by the Catholic diocese on acreage west of the Channahon Village Hall and police station.

Roberts gave Channahon village trustees an update Monday on progress on the St. Ann’s Senior Residences project.

“It will be a 12-month process from start to finish,” he said.

The IHA funding is competitive, according to Roberts, and if the application is re-

jected in June, the consultant will reapply in July. Roberts showed trustees plans featuring 48 units in four three-story, 12-unit buildings. There will be a clubhouse with wellness, fitness and computer centers and five-days-a-week on-site management and maintenance.

“We are making a long-term commitment to the Channahon community,” Roberts said.

The units could be for seniors at least 55 or 62 years old, Roberts said at a previous meeting, which is still to be determined. The apartments will have laminate floors, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, terraces and garages.

Ten of the units would be set aside for people with disabilities – three for people with a sensory disability and seven for those with a physical impairment. Roberts said the apartments would not be tax-exempt and residents would pay property taxes.

Unit leases will be based on income and could range from $375 to $910 a month.

NEW LENOX – Police have arrested a man they say is responsible for two recent armed robberies in New Lenox and Channahon.

New Lenox Deputy Police Chief Robert Pawlisz said in a statement that detectives linked Kellen Bean, 31, to the April 14 holdup. Police used a warrant to search his residence in the 900 block of Chelsea Court and recovered evidence related to the robbery, Pawlisz said.

At 6:10 p.m. April 14, a man entered Tropical Smoothie, 1872 E. Lincoln Highway in New Lenox, and threatened employees while holding ei-

ther a knife or screwdriver, according to police. After demanding money, the man left.

Bean was taken into custody Tuesday at Silver Cross Hospital, where he was seeking medical assisKellen Bean tance for a minor issue, according to Pawlisz.

U.S. writer who fled Austria to escape Holocaust dead at 90

By GEORGE JAHN The Associated Press VIENNA – U.S. writer Frederic Morton, who became internationally recognized in part through books on the Austrian homeland that he was forced to flee because of the Holocaust, has died, his Austrian publishers said Monday. He was 90.

The Deuticke publishing house said Morton died in his Vienna hotel room overnight on the eve of a public reading

of some of his works in the Austrian capital. The Austria Press Agency said that event will now be turned into a memorial for the Vienna-born author.

Morton wrote 12 books, including “The Rothschilds” and “A Nervous Splendor,” both of them National Book Award finalists. “The Rothschilds” was made into a Tony Award-winning musical, while “A Nervous Splendor,” chronicling 1888 to 1889 in Vienna, focused on the major Austrian personalities and

events of that year – among them the birth of Adolf Hitler, whose rise to power led to Morton’s self-exile 40 years later.

Decades later, Morton would describe his uprooting as the common theme running through all of his works, and not only those dealing with Austria.

“Everything I write has something to do with the loss of my homeland, directly or indirectly,” he told Austrian state broadcaster ORF.

Born Fritz Mandelbaum on Oct. 5, 1924, Morton grew up as the son of a well-to-do Jewish family of industrialists who fled first to London a year after Hitler’s 1938 annexation of Austria and then to New York.

Morton’s interest in writing grew while studying literature at Columbia University and attending classes at the New School for Social Research. He began writing short stories and publishing in magazines in 1947, making his breakthrough with his bi-

ography of the Rothschilds in 1962. His work was later anthologized in “The Best American Short Stories” 1965, and “The Best American Essays” 2003.

Morton began visiting the city of his birth even before Austria slowly began coming to terms with its Nazi past in the 1980s. Among other distinctions, he was awarded Vienna’s “Golden Medal of Honor” in 1986 and the “Austrian Cross of Honor for Science and Art” in 2003.

Illinois Budget Director Tim Nuding listens to lawmakers during a Senate committee hearing Feb. 5 at the Capitol in Springfield. partment of corrections. Lawmakers and Rauner spent the early months of the new year negotiating a package to plug the hole. The package the legislature passed in late March authorizes Rauner to transfer $1.3 billion from special funds dedicated to other purposes, including parks and conservation. The rest would come from a 2.25 percent across-the-board budget cut. It also gave Rauner authority over $97 million to distribute to needy schools.

Nuding said he thought he had been clear to lawmakers more cuts could happen beyond the legislation they approved, which didn’t go far enough to close the hole.

Rauner announced on Good Friday a halt to $26 million in grants that pay for the funerals and burials of public assistance recipients, smoking cessation, teen programs, autism, and HIV and AIDS programs. Acting Department of Human Services Director Greg Bassi said Tuesday that decisions on cuts were made with the aim not to interrupt “traditional core services” provided by the state.

Rauner, a wealthy private equity executive, has been criticized for cutting social programs while allowing some $100 million tax breaks for business to go ahead.

Some Democrats on the panel said they were left in the dark about the governor’s actions. “As you can imagine, on Good Friday, you hear that

Exelon subsidy would cost $1.6B over 5 years

SPRINGFIELD – A plan to financially reward Exelon Corp. for producing no-carbon energy and potentially save three Illinois nuclear plants from closure would cost ratepayers $1.6 billion over five years and strain budgets for financially strapped businesses and municipal governments, a study released Tuesday found.

Kestler Energy Consulting conducted the review for the consumer group BEST Coalition, which opposes what critics said is a “bailout” for an otherwise profitable Exelon.

Consumers would have to pony up more for electric bills

and face higher tax bills from local governments absorbing higher costs, BEST Coalition Director Dave Lundy, accompanied by representatives of AARP, told a state Capitol news conference.

“Our governments around this state are strapped,” Lundy said.

“We don’t have more money to throw, and certainly not more money to throw at a very profitable corporation.”

Exelon wants its Illinois distributors ComEd and Ameren to buy clean-energy “credits” – subsidies – as an incentive similar to perks granted to solar and wind power and other clean-energy producers.

SPRINGFIELD – Gov. Bruce Rauner’s budget chief apologized Tuesday to a House budget oversight panel about any confusion caused by the suspension of $26 million in social service and public health grants that surprised some lawmakers who thought they already had plugged a $1.6 billion budget gap.

Tim Nuding, director of the governor’s office of management and budget, told the committee – specially formed by House Speaker Michael Madigan last week – that he intended to “do a better job communicating” and would do so as the governor’s office works with the legislature on the larger looming issue of crafting a budget for the fiscal year beginning in July to fill a much larger $6 billion gap.

“That issue is of great importance to me. I feel like I communicated through all the proper channels about my intentions,” Nuding said. “I apologize if there was a misunderstanding. ... I believe I’m a trustworthy person. I know that I have credibility. I hope to establish that with you. It troubles me greatly that we have had miscommunications on that issue.”

Rauner came into office in January inheriting a $1.6 budget shortfall created after lawmakers last spring passed a $35.7 billion budget that didn’t allocate enough money for expenses. Democrats – who then controlled both Houses of the General Assembly as well as the governor’s mansion – approved the plan hoping after the November election they would make permanent a temporary income tax increase passed in 2011. The victory in the gubernatorial race of Republican Rauner, who campaigned in opposition to the income tax increase, scuttled that hope. The state income tax rolled back on Jan. 1, from 5 percent to 3.75 percent for individuals, and from 7 percent to 5.25 percent for corporations.

Programs affected by the budget gap included state subsidized day care programs, court reporters and the state’s de-

autism [program funding] is cut ... looking back, I think that would have impacted how I voted,” said state Rep. Fred Crespo of Hoffman Estates.

Crespo was one of about two dozen Democrats who voted for the budget fix measure.

John Bradley, a Marion Democrat who chairs the House Revenue and Finance Committee, asked Nuding to provide a detailed list of the programs cut and the criteria used to make those decisions.

Nuding said the governor’s budget office will make every effort to comply with the request.

Transportation officials to talk roads in statewide tour

SPRINGFIELD – Illinois transportation officials are making stops in multiple communities in coming weeks to talk about the condition of the state’s roads.

State Department of Transportation Secretary Randall Blankenhorn said in a news release Tuesday that roadways and other infrastructure are “beginning to deteriorate and in need of investment.”

The tour was announced Tuesday by the Department of Transportation. The department said initial stops would be detailed in the coming days. The meetings with transportation officials and the Illinois Capital Development Board would focus on getting feedback on infrastructure needs from local officials, residents and businesses.

A new construction program is backed by an organization made up of business and labor groups called the Transportation for Illinois Coalition.

Lawsuit filed against Chicago police over stop and frisk

CHICAGO – A federal lawsuit filed against the Chicago Police Department contends officers routinely have violated the constitutional rights of minority residents who have not committed any crime.

The lawsuit was filed Monday on behalf of six African-American residents of Chicago and seeks class-action status. It names the city of Chicago, police Superintendent Garry McCarthy and 14 unnamed officers.

The spokesman for the city’s law department did not immediately respond to an email Tuesday seeking comment.

A processional with Cardinal Francis George’s casket makes its way through the Holy Name Cathedral during the rite of reception ceremony Tuesday in Chicago. George died Friday at age 78 after a long battle with cancer. Mourners gathered Tuesday at Holy Name Cathedral for the first of three days of visitation for the late cardinal. People lined up in front of the church hours before visitation began at 2 p.m.

It followed the rite of reception, which officially welcomed the cardinal’s body back to the cathedral.

In a study released last month, the American Civil Liberties Union said Chicago officers last summer conducted more than 250,000 stops of people who weren’t arrested.

The ACLU also said almost three-fourths of those stopped were African-American, even though they make up about a third of the city’s population.

House OKs bill to change specialty license plates

SPRINGFIELD – The Illinois House has overwhelmingly approved a bill that would change the way the state creates specialty license plates.

The measure passed, 108-1, on Monday. If it becomes law, the state no longer would issue new specialty license plate designs for charitable causes.

Instead, Illinois motorists would buy large stickers for particular charities and affix them to standardized plates. Already-issued specialty license plates would continue to be valid.

Democratic state Rep. John D’Amico of Chicago sponsored the legislation, saying it’s difficult for police to identify all of the state’s 109 specialty plates.

Requests for 59 more specialty plates are waiting for approval.

The measure now goes to the Illinois Senate. The Illinois Secretary of State’s office said it supports the bill.

Chicago couple sentenced to prison in Bali killing

BALI, Indonesia – An Indonesian court found a Chicago couple guilty of premeditated murder and sentenced them

to prison Tuesday in the killing of the woman’s mother on the resort island of Bali.

The Denpasar District Court sentenced Tommy Schaefer to 18 years in prison and Heather Mack to 10 years for intentionally killing Sheila von Wiese-Mack while vacationing in August. The badly battered body was found stuffed in a suitcase inside the trunk of a taxi at the St. Regis Bali Resort.

The three-judge panel said it decided to be lenient toward Mack, 19, because she recently gave birth. “Her newborn baby badly needs a mother’s love and breastfeeding,” the verdict said.

The court ruled Schaefer, 21, was guilty of battering von Wiese-Mack to death in a hotel room at the resort and girlfriend Mack helped with the Aug. 12 killing.

Critical-thinking counseling sought in Islamic State case

CHICAGO – A lawyer for a Bolingbrook teenager accused of trying to join the Islamic State group has told a federal judge his client isn’t dangerous and should be released to get counseling on critical thinking.

Mohammed Hamzah Khan’s attorney told a Tuesday hearing in Chicago that a psychiatrist determined Khan isn’t mentally ill. Thomas Durkin says it’s “more of an issue of education and critical thinking.”

Durkin later told reporters the irrationality the 19-year-old displayed in assessing Islamic State is a feature of his age group. He says that “doesn’t make them crazy; it just makes them teenagers.”

Anger at acquittal of Chicago cop in shooting of woman The ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO – A judge’s surprise acquittal of an off-duty Chicago police officer in the shooting death of an unarmed woman called into question prosecutors’ decision not to charge the man with murder, and set off protests for a second day Tuesday.

That the officer shot Rekia Boyd, 22, was never in dispute. But the judge said he was bound to find detective Dante Servin not guilty of involuntary manslaughter – because manslaughter requires evidence of “recklessness,” while the judge described the act of shooting as “intentional.”

“It is intentional and the crime, if any there be, is first-degree murder,” Judge Dennis Porter said in his seven-page ruling Monday.

Several dozen demonstrators gathered in downtown Chicago’s Daley Plaza on Tuesday, some holding signs with a picture of Boyd, to voice distain for the decision

by Porter and for Cook County

State’s Attorney Anita Alvarez.

“Anita has to go,” activist William Calloway said. “We have to band together and make a conscious decision to whom we have to pick to not only represent the police officers, but for African-Americans and minorities across this city.”

Boyd had been walking to a store with three friends in March 2012 when Servin, upset over noise, asked them to quiet down. Servin said he fired because he believed another person in the group was moving toward him with a gun, though police found only a cellphone.

Prosecutors said Servin fired five shots over his shoulder from inside his car at the group, who all had their backs to him in an alley. Boyd was struck in the head and one other person was grazed by a bullet.

The city settled a wrongful-death lawsuit with Boyd’s family for $4.5 million in 2013.

A few months later, the Cook

Come and see what the

JOLIET COUNTRY CLUB

has to offer!

County state’s attorney’s office charged Servin with involuntary manslaughter.

But after a four-day bench trial, Porter ruled that prosecutors failed to prove Servin acted recklessly, in the precise legal sense of the word.

He said Illinois courts have consistently held that the act of pointing a gun and firing is an intentional act, not a reckless one.

Alvarez disagreed and said in a statement that she was “extremely disappointed.”

“The state’s attorney’s office brought charges in this case in good faith and only after a very careful legal analysis of the evidence, as well as the specific circumstances of this crime,” Alvarez said.

Boyd’s brother, Martinez Sutton, erupted in anger inside the courtroom after hearing the verdict, shouting, “This [expletive] killed my sister.”

Relatives of the slain woman chased after Servin and called him a murderer as a he left the courthouse under the

escort of several supporters.

“With somebody laying in an alley with a bullet hole in her head, how is that not guilty?” asked Boyd’s sister, Natasha Sutton.

Servin told reporters he had no regrets, although he said his “heart goes out to the family.”

“Any police officer, especially, would have reacted in the exact same manner that I reacted, and I’m glad to be alive. I saved my life that night,” Servin said.

BOSTON – First, the jury was shown large, vibrant pictures of the four people killed in the Boston Marathon bombing and its aftermath.

Then prosecutors pulled out the photo they saved for last: Dzhokhar Tsarnaev giving the finger to the security camera in his jail cell.

“This is Dzhokhar Tsarnaev – unconcerned, unrepentant and unchanged,” federal prosecutor Nadine Pellegrini told the jury that will decide whether the 21-year-old former college student should be executed.

The penalty phase in the Boston Marathon bomber’s trial opened in dramatic fashion Tuesday, with prosecutors portraying Tsarnaev as a coldblooded killer and “America’s worst nightmare.”

The government then began trying to drive home the horror of the attack by calling to the stand witnesses who lost legs or loved ones in the April 15, 2013, bombing.

“I remember hearing just bloodcurdling screams.

I just remember looking around, just seeing blood everywhere, sort of like debris falling from the sky,” said Celeste Corcoran, who made her way to the stand on two artificial limbs.

Several jurors shed tears as the father of Krystle Campbell, a 29-year-old restaurant manager killed in the bombing, described how he called his daughter “princess.”

“Krystle was the light of my life,” William Campbell Jr. said, “every father’s dream.”

He wiped away tears with a handkerchief, his voice growing hoarse as he described how she “wasn’t really a girly-girl” and preferred baseball over other activities.

Campbell described a heartbreaking mix-up that

In this courtroom sketch, Boston Marathon bombing survivor Celeste Corcoran is depicted on the witness stand Tuesday during the first day of the penalty phase in the trial of Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev in federal court in Boston. Corcoran lost both legs below the knee in the first explosion near the marathon finish line in 2013. led his family to believe Krystle had survived the bombing and was undergoing surgery.

One of the doctors asked Campbell to take a walk with him to go see Krystle in her room.

“It wasn’t Krystle. I passed out on the floor,” Campbell said. “I couldn’t remember anything after that until I woke up about five minutes later and I realized that Krystle was gone and they made a mistake.”

Earlier Tuesday, prosecutors showed the jury a photo of a wounded Krystle writhing in agony on the ground, her mouth agape.

Gillian Reny told the jury she was an 18-year-old high school senior when she went to watch her sister run her first marathon. She said the first blast knocked her to the ground, and when she looked down, she could see her legs were covered in blood, and a bone that had snapped in half was sticking out.

“Muscle was everywhere.

It was the most horrifying image I could even imagine ... and to see that on my own body was terrifying,” she said, breaking down in tears.

Doctors managed to save both legs.

Slouching in his seat at

the defense table as usual, Tsarnaev stared straight ahead and showed no reaction during the proceedings.

He did not appear to look at any of the witnesses.

Three people were killed and more than 260 wounded in the bombing, carried out

by Tsarnaev and his older brother, Tamerlan, to punish the U.S. for its wars in Muslim countries. An MIT police officer was shot to death days later as the brothers tried to get away.

Tsarnaev was convicted earlier this month of all 30 charges against him during the trial’s guilt-or-innocence phase. His lawyers did not give an opening statement Tuesday but will do so once the prosecution has made its case.

The defense contends Tamerlan, 26, masterminded the bombing, and Dzhokhar, then 19, fell under his influence.

The 12-member jury must be unanimous for Tsarnaev to receive a death sentence; otherwise, he will automatically get life behind bars.

Prosecutors have argued that Tsarnaev was a full partner with his brother and deserves the ultimate punishment.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Thankful for community champions To the Editor:

The wonderfully written article, “Goss: Night of Champions honoring 2 of ‘Tiger Ray’s’ best” that appeared April 12 concerning the Joliet Township High School District 204 “Night of Champions,” brings several positive comments to the forefront.

The first thought is that we ultimately are blessed, having experienced a multitude of fantastic educators/coaches who are much, much more than just sports-oriented individuals.

They all are true role models in every aspect of their lives.

Finally, we inevitably have a duty and responsibility to honor these great leaders for their unselfish sacrifices on behalf of all the young people in our greater Will County communities.

A huge thank-you to all.

Madigan values power over adherence to a philosophy SPRINGFIELD – One of the questions I get asked most often as an Illinois political reporter is: “What is Mike Madigan really like?”

The best answer I can give is this: If one were to look up the word “shrewd” in the dictionary, you’d likely see Mike Madigan staring back at you.

Last year, he called for cutting taxes on businesses.

Now he’s calling for jacking up taxes on millionaires.

Just why he would treat one group of job creators different from another? Who knows?

But no one should be surprised.

I’ve been covering Madigan since 1987.

The one thing I’ve learned about him is he values the accumulation of power over adherence to any particular principle or philosophy.

The only thing that counts at the end of the day for him is this question: Will it help

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

REEDER REPORT Scott Reeder more Democrats get elected to the Illinois General Assembly?

Policy is a secondary consideration for a man who has been in the Legislature longer than many of his fellow lawmakers have been alive.

In fact, no state legislative leader in the history of the United States has been in power longer than Madigan.

Madigan has become a wealthy man operating a law firm that appeals Cook County property tax assessments.

Last year, he disclosed he has earned more than $1 million a year in a job that is all about political connections.

But Madigan is not about the money.

Really.

He lives in a modest home on Chicago’s South Side, with a market value of less than a fourth of what he says he earns in a good year.

For lunch, every day he eats just an apple.

On most legislative session nights, he holds court at Saputo’s, a mom-and-pop Italian supper club a few blocks from the Capitol. He dines at the same table and at the same chair during each visit.

He dresses nicely but not flashy. (But Rod Blagojevich was more than a bit infatuated with Madigan’s neckties.)

In the 25 years I’ve covered him, I’ve never known him to outright lie. Every public utterance is said with calculation. Words are parsed. Meanings obscured. Pronouncements ambiguous.

But never have I heard him say a bald-faced lie.

Does he break the law? I’ve never seen evidence of it. And

I don’t believe he would.

For decades, I’ve seen reporters trying to uncover criminal behavior on Madigan’s part.

They’ve failed.

But really, they’ve missed the point.

What’s far more interesting to me is what Madigan can do legally.

Madigan not only heads a legislative chamber and a law firm, he also is the party boss for the Illinois Democratic Party. He’s raised tens of millions of dollars and poured them into the campaign coffers of state representative candidates across Illinois.

Once elected, they remember where the money came from.

But again, personal political convictions play a small part in what he asks of his members.

Just consider Madigan’s relationship with Blagojevich,

during the six years Blagojevich was governor.

First, Madigan hinted darkly about Blagojevich “improprieties.”

Then, Madigan enthusiastically supported Blagojevich’s spending bills and measures to increase the power of the governorship.

And then, he formed an alliance of Republican and Democrat lawmakers to thwart the governor’s legislative initiatives.

And next, he co-chaired Blagojevich’s re-election campaign.

And finally, he led the charge to impeach the governor.

Consistent? No. Predictable? No. Powerful? Yes.

PREP SOFTBALL: JOLIET WEST 8, LOCKPORT 6

Joliet West beats Lockport for first conference win

By CURT HERRON cherron@shawmedia.com LOCKPORT – With strong winds blowing out at Lockport’s Athletic Field for the start of Tuesday’s softball game between Joliet West and the Porters, it appeared the two SouthWest Suburban Blue squads might be able to score a lot of runs.

But instead of the wind hurting her cause, Tigers starter Kiley Robb felt it worked to her advantage, allowing her to force a lot of ground balls in addition to strikeouts.

Meanwhile, West was able to put the ball in play with regularity during the early going, hitting three home runs and grabbing the advantage.

Things finally started to click for Lockport once the winds died down, but it was a case of too little, too late as the Tigers captured an 8-6 victory.

“We played really well when the wind was blowing hard and strong,” West coach Heather Suca said. “It took us a little bit to make some adjustments when the wind stopped blowing, which is backwards, but I’ll take it. We put the ball in play our first couple at-bats, and that’s something that we’ve definitely been working on. I think we were 9 for 9 putting it into play the first time through the lineup, which was a huge momentum-builder for our team.

“Lockport is, obviously, a very good team – one of our top conference competitors every year – and we’ll see them at least one more time. This was definitely a huge win for us, since we opened up with a loss to Lincoln-Way East. Hopefully, by the middle of the season, we get some things set, but I definitely like what I’ve been seeing.”

In the first inning, Robb hit a home run to right to give West (10-3, 1-1) a 1-0 lead, but the Porters (11-5, 2-1) evened the score later that inning after Halle Hollatz (2 for 3) drew a lead-off walk and eventually scored on a wild pitch.

Lockport’s Cassidy Drabek pitches during the first second inning of Tuesday’s game. the lead grew to 5-1 after Kristen Ames came home on a wild pitch and Jen Ames scored on a single by Lorelei Tokarczyk, who later scored on a double

by Madi Mulder (2 for 3).

Meanwhile, Robb didn’t allow Lockport to hit the ball out of the infield during the first three innings. The Porters finally got their first hit with

two outs in the fourth.

“I didn’t expect it, but the wind actually helped my pitches to break more and move more,” Robb said. “I threw them off for a little bit, and my defense did a great job.

It’s much easier to pitch when you know that your defense is backing you up. You can let them put the ball in play so

you don’t have to worry about striking everyone out.

“This was a big win for our team since it was an away conference game. We have a lot of good things going for us, so we just have to stay focused and we’ll do good this season.”

Lockport pulled to within 5-3 in the fourth when Bailee Moll drew a two-out walk, Emily Dybas reached on a bad-hop single to score one run, Sidney Bottino got an infield hit, and Gracie Voulgaris drove in another run with a single to center.

But the Tigers responded with three runs in the fifth as Jen Ames singled and Alysia Rodriguez followed with a tworun blast to left. With two outs,

Mulder singled and eventually scored on a double by DeShonte Smith. In the bottom of the fifth, Tara McElligott doubled to in a pair of runs to make it an 8-5 game.

After Lockport’s third pitcher, Lauren Stoch, retired seven straight batters to keep West in check, Lockport threatened in the seventh when Hollatz led off with a single and Elena Woulfe reached on an error.

Zara Voulgaris (2 for 4) doubled to bring home one run, but the relay from Rodriguez got to Smith in time for her to tag Woulfe out at the plate.

Robb retired the next two batters to complete her eight-hitter, which featured four strikeouts.

“We just waited too long to get something going,” Porters coach Marissa Chovanec said.

“We just need to start that sooner and make adjustments quicker. But our kids are young, and they’re still learning and in every game we’re getting better.”

PREP BASEBALL: JOLIET CATHOLIC 12, PROVIDENCE 5

By DICK GOSS dgoss@shawmedia.com

• Wednesday, April 22, 2015

JOLIET – About 90 minutes before the start of Tuesday’s renewal of the nonconference baseball rivalry between Providence and Joliet Catholic, the Hilltoppers’ coaches lined up cones with the flag pole in left-center field at Gillespie Field.

There was time for a little batting practice.

“The line of cones was their third-base foul line,” coach Jared Voss said. “They weren’t allowed to hit anything to the left of that.”

On a night when a vicious wind was gusting out toward right field, the idea was to hit the ball in that direction.

Right-handed hitter Nick Dalesandro understood.

“Most definitely, I was going that way,” said Dalesandro, who homered down the rightfield line in the first inning, doubled to deep right-center in the second and doubled off the top of the fence in deep right-center in the third, driving in four runs as the Hilltoppers prevailed, 12-5.

“That’s Hilltopper baseball, anyway,” Dalesandro said of hitting the other way. “On a normal day, the home run probably doesn’t go out. But when the right fielder stopped after a couple steps, he told me it was out.”

Dalesandro, who played third base Tuesday and made three good defensive plays, sat out the championship game of the WJOL/Don Ladas Memorial Tournament in early April, when Providence scored a wild, 17-12, eight-inning victory over JCA because he was ejected in the semifinal game.

“It’s not the same stage, but this is kind of a little redemption for me,” Dalesandro said.

“I was joking with Nick that he’s going to hate to see us leave town,” Providence coach Mark Smith said. “It’s seems like he’s been around for 10 years. A kid with that kind of talent doesn’t come along very often.”

Dalesandro’s blast was followed by KC Simonich’s line drive homer that he pulled down the right-field line. Simonich also had RBI singles

Tom Kelley had just doubled in two runs and Jackson Stulas tripled in two more for the Celtics. Mike Quiram entered with nobody out and walked Mike Madej, who had two singles earlier. But Quiram, the usual third baseman and staff closer, stranded the runners at first and third and retired 12 of the last 13 batters he faced to close it out. He struck out five, and the only runner he allowed reached on an error.

“I liked it,” Quiram said of Joliet Catholic third baseman Nick Dalesandro fields a ground ball for pitching in the wind. “Maybe it helped me because all my pitchan out at first against Providence during Tuesday’s game. es were working.

All I really wind-affected double and three four runs in each of the sec- had to do was throw strikes.”

terward he will be available Wednesday afternoon at Nazareth, should Dalesandro – who will make his first start of the season – need relief.

“I really don’t know what all the pitches are that ‘Q’ [Quiram] throws, but everything moves a lot,” Voss said.

“Let’s just say he throws breaking pitches.”

“Their first guy [Belling] and their last guy [Quiram] both pitched very well,” Smith said. “It’s not a word, but they offspeeded us to death, and we didn’t adapt to it.

“It was tough to play today, elementwise, but we came out flat, and I was disappointed in that. That’s on me. I didn’t have us ready. You spot a good team like that 11 runs, and your chances of winning are slim.”

Zach Pych had two of Providence’s six hits; and Stulas, the shortstop, provided a highlight when he made a diving stop in the hole and threw out Max Brzostowski at first.

Prunty approved as new Lockport AD

By CURT HERRON cherron@shawmedia.com After retiring last summer as athletic director at Chicago’s Saint Ignatius College Prep, Jim Prunty looked forward to beginning a new chapter in his life.

So his 39th year in coaching saw him take on full-time assistant duties with the University of Chicago men’s basketball program, where he had served part time for eight years.

But his absence from high school athletics proved to be brief, as the longtime coach and administrator in the Chicago Catholic League decided that he wasn’t ready to retire yet.

He applied for the open position at Lockport, and on Monday the District 205 Board of Education approved Prunty

to succeed Brian Goff as the school’s new athletic director.

“It was very rewarding, and I enjoyed it a lot; but about halfway through the year, I decided that I wasn’t ready to retire yet,” Prunty said. “So I looked to see if something good came up, and the Lockport job was exactly that. A school like Lockport has such a good reputation in so many areas. I’m excited for the opportunity and Jim Prunty really looking forward to it.”

Prunty served in a variety of roles early on during his 15 years at St. Rita. He was head basketball coach for 13 years and was head baseball coach and a golf coach, serving in each position for 10 or more years. He also spent three

years on the football staff and 10 years as the assistant athletic director.

During his last 11 years at the south side Chicago school, which concluded in 1996, he was a member of the athletic program along with head football coach Todd Wernet, who is now the superintendent at Lockport.

After coaching boys basketball at Minooka in 1996-97, he held the same position at York for three seasons. Then in 2000, he began a 14-year stint as athletic director at Saint Ignatius, overseeing a transformation of the school’s athletic facilities and programs.

“Saint Ignatius is a great school, and I loved my 14 years there, and I’m proud of the achievements that we made in athletics,” Prunty said. “We put in a turf field, reinstated football, and added boys and

I’m excited for the opportunity and really looking forward to it.”

Jim Prunty New athletic director at Lockport girls lacrosse and girls field hockey and freshman baseball. We brought in some really good coaches, and our teams did very well.”

Besides serving as the longtime president of the Chicago Catholic League, Prunty was the representative for Chicago for the Illinois Athletic Directors Association. He served for nine years on the IHSA

Legislative Commission and has been on the board of directors for the Illinois Basketball Coaches Association.

Prunty also was inducted into the Chicago Catholic League Coaches Association, Girls Catholic Athletic Conference and the IBCA halls of fame.

The new athletic director officially begins his duties July 1 but plans to begin meeting with coaches, athletes and parents before that to create a smooth transition.

“I’m aware of the great support that the community has shown and how it wants to have a successful athletic program, so it’s great to come into an environment like that,” Prunty said. “I’m happy to be coming to a school with a foundation like Lockport has, and I just hope to keep moving the program forward.”

USF’s Quigley to coach U16 national team

St. Louis promotes Lincoln-Way East grad Dean Anna to the big leagues Of this and that: Congratulations go out to University of St. Francis women’s basketball coach Samantha Quigley, who has been selected as an assistant coach for the USA Basketball Women’s U16 National Team.

“It certainly means a lot,” Quigley said in a news release from the school. “Representing our country through a great game is something special, and I am certainly looking forward to it. USA Basketball has been something I have watched all of my life, and to be a part of it truly is a dream come true.”

Quigley, who served as a coach at a USA Basketball regional skills development camp in October, recently completed her third season at St. Francis. She led the Saints to a 17-15 record, including a 12-5 mark in Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference play.

Can’t speak for all three, but USA Basketball made an excellent choice in Quigley.

ANNA A CARDINAL

In Tuesday’s column, I discussed how local baseball players are doing early this season in the minor leagues. One important item I had missed was that the St. Louis Cardinals called up utility infielder Dean Anna (Lincoln-Way East) over the weekend.

Anna was playing shortstop regularly and hitting .414 at Triple-A Memphis when the

call came. He made his major league debut last April with the Yankees, where he went 3 for 22.

Entering Tuesday night, he had not gotten an at-bat with the Cardinals as yet. His role with St. Louis probably will be as a super utility player capable of providing late-inning defense at virtually any position, pinch-running or pinch-hitting.

Mike Foltynewicz (Minooka) pitched a game Monday night for Triple-A Gwinnett that indicates he will be ready whenever the Atlanta Braves give him the call.

Even though Gwinnett dropped a 1-0 decision to Norfolk, Foltynewicz threw a complete game with 105 pitches. He allowed three hits and one walk in eight innings while striking out nine.

Foltynewicz is 0-2 but with a 1.62 ERA. In 162⁄3 innings, he has allowed 11 hits and seven walks while striking out 21.

Former Joliet Township catcher Mike Hollenbeck, who played at Illinois State and had been toiling in the White Sox organization, has retired from playing because of injuries. He joined coach John Karczewski’s coaching staff at Joliet West last week.

“He will be a big help,” Karczewski said.

However, after coach Brian Wardle was hired in late March as the new coach at Bradley, Torres received his release from Green Bay. Bolingbrook coach Rob Brost said Torres is considering Bradley and UIC, among others, and added, “It is changing by the day.”

BOYS VOLLEYBALL: MINOOKA 2, PLAINFIELD EAST 0 (25-18, 25-11)

By ROB OESTERLE roesterle@shawmedia.com

• Wednesday, April 22, 2015

MINOOKA – It’s long been said that quality sports programs don’t rebuild – they reload.

Minooka’s boys volleyball team seems to fit in that category.

After losing many experienced seniors from last year’s team – including Junior Olympic team member Mitch Perinar – and putting a team of mostly juniors on the floor this year, Minooka coach Janel Grzetich figured on this being a rebuilding year for the Indians.

Judging by their performance in a 25-18, 25-11 win Tuesday over Southwest Prairie Conference rival Plainfield East, some might say they are reloaded as well.

“We’re young,” Grzetich said. “We figured this would be a rebuilding year, but we have been very competitive as well. It’s nice to be able to rebuild with talented players, that’s for sure.

“We’ve got kind of a nice tradition going here, and I don’t think any class of kids coming through wants to fall short of that.”

Plainfield East kept the completion close early in the first match, and the teams were tied at 8. Brandon Baranski stepped to the service line for the Indians and took over, delivering a back-row kill to start a string of seven straight points that also included three aces. In between, Minooka got a kill each from Danny Beaudin and Colin Cimaroli.

The lead stretched to 22-13 before Plainfield East rallied, getting kills from Feras Hleihel and Jacob Kuzrock and an ace by Hleihel to make it 23-17.

A kill from Baranski gave Minooka a 24-17 lead, and a serving error by East later ended it.

The second game was never in doubt, as Minooka (7-4, 5-0) jumped to a 10-3 lead behind strong play at the net on both offense and defense. The advantage grew to 18-8 when Beaudin got a stuff block. The last two Minooka kills came from senior Aaron Alexander.

“Brandon Baranski did a real nice job tonight of reading their block,” Grzetich said. “When there was room, he hit between it. When they were tight, he hit cross court.

Minooka hosts its own invitational Saturday, a tournament in which it can see how it measures up so far.

“There are a lot of teams from our regional and sectional that will be at the tournament,” Grzetich said. “Last Beaudin did a nice job in the year, we didn’t even make it middle. He just started playing to the regional final, and we all the rotations, and that’s a definitely want to get back big change for him. He’s used there. This tournament will to just playing defense at the be a good chance to see what net and not having to serve-re- we need to do in order to do ceive, so that’s been different that.”

I am not willing to accept that Doug Buffone is gone, at least not yet.

As a football player and as a man, Doug was the exceptionally rare human being who – beyond all urban legend – was, in fact, too good to be true. That needs to be clear before I can say goodbye.

Too many of you know him as just the irascible ex–Bear who’d take you on his roller coaster of emotions every time he came on the air, reveling in the Bears’ successes and becoming irate with their failures.

He was so much more than that.

Doug was one of the alltime great Bears who will live forever in that neighborhood a mile or two south of the Hall of Famers, but in a special place reserved strictly for those few who played the game at a near Pro Bowl level for over a decade and survived 14 seasons, the last eight as a team captain in a game where the average lifespan is fewer than four years.

And he loved the Bears as no one has before or after him ever will.

When he retired after the 1979 season and only his second trip to the playoffs – with both coming in his last three seasons – Doug was the last active player to have played for the Papa Bear himself, George Halas.

He took with him more than 1,200 tackles and 24 interceptions, those two dozen picks being a Bears record for linebackers that stands today.

Perhaps more impressively, while sacks were not kept as an official statistic during Doug’s career, several unofficial sources credit him with 18 sacks in 1968 – which, if accurate, would be another Bears record today.

He was one of the great blitzing linebackers in the game before it became an art form.

Those are the facts, but that’s what he did, not who he was.

I don’t think I’ve ever met a man with a bigger heart, a bigger appetite for life or a smaller ego than Doug Buffone.

We became acquainted when I covered his waning years in the league, but we became friends afterward, in large part through his love of Pro Football Weekly.

Well before his broadcast career took flight, Doug’s passion for the game remained insatiable, and he studied every issue of PFW. Years later, when we became

broadcast partners, Doug would show up in the studio with that week’s PFW dog-eared and tattered with yellow highlighter marks on every page.

I wrote, edited and published the thing, and yet Doug always found something in it even I wasn’t aware of.

When I lost my job in the Bears booth after 20 seasons, I thought my career was over.

When I was hired a few days later at AM-670 The Score, where I was basically Public Enemy No. 1, our boss, Mitch Rosen, made Doug my first partner on a new show called “The NFL Tonight.”

I thought I’d last a show or two, but Doug had other ideas.

He promised me, if I just kept an open mind, he’d always have my back and we’d make it work.

Doug always had my back.

The truest mark of the man may be Doug never needed anyone to have his back, because everyone loved Doug.

It was impossible not to love Doug.

Rest well, pal. You taught us all more than I can say.

Now it’s time to say goodbye.

FOOD

Cave to the

craving Sweetand-sour chicken, a takeout favorite, gets a healthier makeover

By J.M. HIRSCH The Associated Press There is just something disgustingly delicious about sweet-and-sour chicken, that deep-fried, sugar-slathered staple of Asian take-out. That cloying sauce, that crispy-fried breading, those sweet morsels of warm pineapple. No matter how bad I know it is for me – and how badly executed the dish usually is – I still manage to crave it regularly.

So I decided to see whether I could do better by creating a similar dish that would satisfy my sweet-and-sour urges without leaving me feeling guilty.

The sauce was easy. But rather than trying to come up with a healthier battered chicken, I decided to make a vegetarian version with cauliflower.

Sweet-And-Sour Cashew Cauliflower Start to finish: 35 minutes Servings: 4

1 cup almond meal (finely ground almonds) 1 teaspoon garlic powder 1 teaspoon kosher salt ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper ¼ teaspoon dry ground ginger 2 egg whites 2 heads cauliflower, cut into florets 20-ounce can pineapple chunks, drained (reserve ½ cup of the juice) ²⁄³ cup sugar ½ cup red wine vinegar 2 tablespoons soy sauce 2 teaspoons hot sauce 1 tablespoon cornstarch 1 tablespoon water

1 cup cashews Heat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil and coat with cooking spray.

In a medium bowl, mix together the almond meal, garlic powder, salt, pepper and ginger. In a second, larger bowl, lightly whisk the egg whites with a fork until frothy. Add the cauliflower florets to the egg whites, then toss until evenly coated.

Pour off and discard any excess egg white in the bowl.

A little at a time, sprinkle the almond mixture over the cauliflower, tossing the cauliflower to coat. Continue sprinkling and tossing until the florets are well coated with the almond mixture. Arrange the florets on the prepared baking sheet, then lightly mist them with cooking spray. Roast for 20 minutes, or until tender and lightly

browned.

Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan over medium-high, combine the pineapple, reserved pineapple juice, sugar, vinegar, soy sauce and hot sauce. Simmer, stirring often, until reduced by about a third, about 5 minutes. In a small glass, stir together the cornstarch and water, then add to the pan.

Stir and simmer until thickened, about 2 minutes.

When the cauliflower is done, divide it between 4 serving plates, then spoon the sauce over it. Sprinkle each serving with cashews.

PUZZLES SUDOKU

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

One of the toughest defenses to find

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Holly Lisle, an author of fantasy, science fiction, paranormal romance and romantic suspense novels, wrote, “If you don’t accept responsibility for your own actions, then you are forever chained to a position of defense.”

At the bridge table, sometimes your partner will cause you to misdefend. Much more often, though, you must be responsible for your own choices. And some defensive plays can be very hard to find. The one in this deal would elude most players.

South is in four hearts. West leads the spade queen: two, eight, five.

West continues with the spade jack and a third spade, which declarer ruffs. South draws two rounds of trumps, West discarding either the club two or club nine on the second.

Declarer continues with the club ace and king, then he gets off play with a trump. What should East lead to trick nine?

The bidding featured a textbook game-invitational limit raise by North. South happily went on to game.

East should realize that if declarer had held a club loser, he would have ruffed it in the dummy. Having got that far, many Easts would shift to a diamond. But if South follows the odds by playing for split honors, he will make his contract, losing only two spades and one heart.

East should work out that South must have started with 2-5-4-2 shape. And if so, it is right to concede a ruff-and-sluff by leading a spade or a club. This cannot give away the contract, and will be the winner here. Declarer cannot avoid losing a diamond trick. ******

• If you have house plants, don’t overwater; it encourages mold in the soil.

I’ve put additional tips for minimizing mold in the home on my website, AskDoctorK.com.

Molds also live outdoors. Levels of some spores peak in late summer or early fall.

Anyone allergic to mold should avoid areas that are likely to have it, such as wooded areas, compost piles, cut grass and piles of damp, raked leaves. Remove damaged wood from your yard, since molds live on wet, rotten wood.

Also, when possible, encourage your son to avoid outdoor activities on windy and rainy days. Mold spore counts increase in warm, humid weather and immediately after summer rainstorms.

As I’m sure you know, mold allergies are very common. In some people, molds can trigger asthma. I have a mold allergy that inflames my nose. For me and most of my patients with mold allergies, carefully eliminating or reducing exposure to molds using the suggestions I’ve described gives sufficient relief.

However, when constant stuffy and runny nose, sinus congestion and asthma persist despite everything, allergy treatments can help.

Allergy shots (called subcutaneous immunotherapy or SCIT) can give considerable additional relief.

A R E N A

Dear Doctor K: We just found out that my son is extremely allergic to mold. What can I do to minimize the mold in my home?

Dear Reader: Even if your son is getting allergy shots or taking medications, the best way to control his allergy is to reduce his exposure to mold.

Mold, along with mildew and yeasts, are the spores of fungi.

Spores are very light and travel in the air.

Because spores are capable of surviving in dry, unpleasant conditions, they can live a long time. But they especially thrive in damp, warm environments.

Indoor molds are very common. More than 1,000 different molds live in homes in the United States. The best way to avoid indoor mold is to prevent it from forming in the first place. Molds like moist places, so try to find and fix sources of dampness.

To further minimize indoor mold: • Keep humidity levels in your home as low as you can. Use an air conditioner or dehumidifier during humid months.

• Be sure your home has adequate ventilation, including exhaust fans in bathrooms and in the kitchen. Install a bathroom exhaust fan that vents directly to the outside.

• Clean mold-covered surfaces with a 1-to-10 ratio of bleach to water.

• If mold has entered drywall or insulation in your home, you’ll have to rip it out and replace it.

• Remove mold-infested carpets and upholstery and throw away any moldy items (including clothing, books and papers).

• Do not carpet bathrooms and basements.

• Add mold inhibitors to paint when redecorat-

HOROSCOPE TODAY – Helping others will put you in the spotlight. The agencies or groups you join will help you make a connection to someone searching for the same thing as you. A partnership will help you reach your goals. Expect to receive positive attention and professional benefits.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Look for an artistic outlet. Home decorating or renovations will turn out well, as long as you stick to a strict budget. Don’t make decisions for others, or you will face opposition.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Your emotional state will discourage personal discussions with others. You would be best off delving into expressive hobbies. Quietly doing something you enjoy will help calm your nerves.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Don’t make important decisions. Confusion and uncertainty will prevail, making it difficult to do the right thing. Exposing too much personal information will put

you in a vulnerable position.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – A new friendship will blossom. You have a lot to offer, but it’s important not to provoke the jealousy of someone close to you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Focus on a way to increase your income. Delve into work and money matters so that you have a perfect sense of where you sit financially. You have what it takes to advance.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Don’t allow the actions or words of others to have a negative effect on you. Relatives or co-workers will be hard to get along with. You are best off working alone.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Personal matters will require your undivided attention. You will need to take on extra responsibilities, so be prepared to step up and do what’s necessary.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Moderation is key. You can make financial gains, but only if you are logical, not emotional. Someone else’s plan will

not be in your best interests. Do your research before signing a contract.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – You have the energy and self-control to finish what you start. Leave yourself some time at the end of the day to enjoy pleasant recreation or to spend time with someone you love.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Don’t get caught up in day-to-day routines that could cloud your vision and aspirations.

If you dedicate time to something you feel passionate about, success will follow.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – You are kind and dependable, but that doesn’t mean you should let anyone take you for granted. Doing things for others is commendable, as long as you take care of your needs as well.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – A short excursion will be eye-opening. Bring some laughter into your life by getting together with friends or by doing something out of the ordinary.

Dear Abby: I’m a 17-yearold girl. Last weekend I lost my virginity in the back seat of a stranger’s car. I feel guilty about it and I haven’t told anyone. I’m not sure if he has.

I need some advice on whether I should be making a big deal out of it, or just ignore it and move on.

Blondie

– Anxious in Ohio

Pearls Before Swine

The Argyle Sweater

Real Life Adventures

Dear Anxious: Please don’t ignore it. You treated your first time like it was something casual, and that is sad. It IS a “big deal,” not only because of what it indicates about your level of self-esteem, but also because you don’t know whether you have been exposed to an STD. Did the boy use a condom?

Mature girls know to protect themselves when engaging in sexual activity. It is important that you be checked by a gynecologist for STDs and learn about effective birth control. If you don’t have a doctor you can confide in, Planned Parenthood can help you.

Dear Abby: I find myself in an interesting situation that I never thought could happen.

I’m a 43-year-old gay male who had an extremely difficult time coming out when I was 19. My parents weren’t initially supportive, but things did get better down the line.

I have had zero luck at any long-term gay relationships, but as I get older, my sex drive has diminished, and I think I’d be happy with a female companion – if sex wasn’t a factor. What should I do? – Interesting

Condition in Texas

Dear Condition: Gay men marrying straight women is not an unheard-of phe-

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips nomenon, and neither are marriages in which sex is not a part of the picture. It could work out well if you find someone with common interests and a high level of compatibility – as long as the lady clearly understands that you are gay and doesn’t harbor the fantasy that she can “change” you.

Dear Abby: My friends often come to me for advice. It could be anything – relationship, family, self-harm or bullying. It’s usually something I don’t know how to deal with and don’t have experience with. I try to say words of encouragement like, “It’ll be OK. Ignore it. Think on the bright side. Don’t be so hard on yourself.”

I know these are things they have heard before and will ignore, but I don’t know what else to say or do.

These people are more outgoing than I am, so I guess it makes them targets. Abby, what can I do?

– D. in Kansas

Dear D.: It’s all right to be encouraging, but when someone asks for advice you know you’re not qualified to give, you should be upfront, admit it, and suggest the person talk to an adult. This is particularly important when the problem concerns things like self-harm or bullying, which may need an intervention.
