JOLIET – Brian Trainauskas purchased a Mossberg shotgun for $332.15 on Feb. 24, 2008.

Frank Anderson, a former employee of Rinks Gun and Sport, testified Wednesday that receipts from the store show Trainauskas, who also was a part-time employee, ordered the weapon and put down $200 cash at the time.

Prosecutors say Trainauskas used the gun 11 months later to kill his friend, Monica Timar, 36. Trainauskas faces a bench trial on murder charges this week before Judge Dave Carlson.

Trainauskas’ defense attorneys have said Timar was

despondent and suicidal and while Trainauskas allowed her access to his home, he is not responsible for her death.

“There was still a balance of $132.15 owed. ... You never printed a pickup receipt on the Mossberg,” attorney James Sarros asked Anderson.

Brian Anderson Trainauskas said that was true, but other receipts aren’t generated the same way at Rinks. Trainauskas also bought another gun in October 2008, four rifles in November and three firearms in December, he testified.

Timar’s body was found the morning of Jan. 23, 2009, inside an abandoned white Ford Mustang in the 21000 block of South 78th Avenue.

Will County Sheriff’s Deputy Terry Bergin used a pry bar to partially open the trunk after another deputy noticed a smear of blood on the rear bumper, he testified Wednesday.

“We could clearly see there was a deceased subject inside,” Bergin said.

The Mustang was towed back to the county morgue, where Timar’s body was removed from the light green comforter it was wrapped in.

Bergin testified he removed two projectiles and two pieces of shotgun webbing from the bloodstained comforter.

Trucking association accuses Will County of unfair overweight ticketing

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com MANHATTAN – The head of the Midwest Truckers Association has alleged in a letter to the state that Will County law enforcement are targeting unsuspecting truck drivers along a section of Manhattan-Monee Road near U.S. Route 45 and issuing tickets in the tens of thousands of dollars.

“County police have figured out if they just sit at that road, they can make some money,” said Matt Wells, MTA associate director.

Manhattan-Monee Road from U.S. Route 52 east to U.S. 45 serves as a “critical east-west” route for truckers, Wells said. It’s a county road, but is maintained by the Illinois Department of Transportation.

In an April 24 letter to IDOT, Wells alleges local police have made more than $2.5 million issuing tickets to truckers caught crossing an area culvert.

When asked Wednesday for revenue totals and the number of tickets issued in this area, Will County Sheriff’s Department spokeswoman Kathy Hoffmeyer said the office required a Freedom of

Information Act request. The Herald-News filed a FOIA request Wednesday afternoon.

The issue is rooted in what Wells believes to be “confusing signage,” he said.

Truck drivers often use the road to access U.S. 45, but fewer than 1,500 feet west of U.S. 45 lies a culvert with a 15ton weight limit. When trucks turn onto the road to gain access to U.S. 45, the first sign they see points out a 15-ton weight limit 5 miles ahead.

U.S. 45 also is about 5 miles east of U.S. 52. In the same line of sight is a sign that says the road is a truck route, Wells said.

“What’s confusing the truckers is, ‘Who in the world would [limit] a structure to 15 tons on a road that has a sign that says truck route?’ ” Wells said. “So everyone has logically assumed that the culvert 5 miles ahead is just past [U.S. 45] because the sign says it’s a truck route and they can access U.S. 45 this way.”

Hoffmeyer said traffic sergeants often patrol the area for overweight violations due to safety concerns. IDOT is responsible for setting the weight limit on the culvert, not the sheriff’s office, she said.

Local law enforcement

believe the signs are “wellmarked,” Hoffmeyer said.

Wells said IDOT needs to erect signs clarifying there is no access to U.S. 45 from U.S. 52 for trucks more than 15 tons.

Martin Lohse, a truck driver from Sheridan, was ticketed and fined $22,870 last fall for driving over the culvert with a semitrailer weighing 90,500 pounds, court documents show. His attorney, Lawrence Necheles, said Lohse pleaded guilty, but Necheles is trying to negotiate a reduced fine.

“It may be the law, but the law has to be fair. It can’t be this ‘gotcha’ situation,” Necheles said. “The drainage ditch is obviously underneath the road. It’s hidden. It’s like the death penalty for stealing a pack of gum. This could literally put him out of business.”

In an emailed statement, IDOT spokeswoman Carson Quinn said the state agency is “actively investigating signing improvements that could help alleviate this concern.”

“We are in the process of reviewing projects to be included in the upcoming multiyear construction program that would hopefully include a permanent repair at this location,” Quinn said.

Trainauskas allegedly gave statements to police that implicated him in Timar’s death, but an appellate court has ruled the statements can only be used if the defendant himself testifies.

Trainauskas also is accused of trying to hire another inmate at the Will County jail to kill an assistant state’s attorney. This inmate would also allegedly force another person to confess to Timar’s slaying, prosecutors say, and then subsequently kill that person.

That case awaits resolution of the trial for murder and concealing a homicide that could earn Trainauskas a life sentence behind bars.

The trial is expected to continue Thursday.

ON THE COVER Daniel Jones, 19, is one of many teenagers in Joliet who has a job because of his community service. Johnson works at Trader Joe’s in Minooka due to the time he donated at the Warren-Sharpe Community Center.

However, with budget cuts threatening local agencies like the Harvey Brooks Foundation and the Warren-Sharpe Community Center, more teenagers could be in jeopardy of finding fewer jobs.

Nonprofit leaders worried about work opportunities for teens

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Daniel Jones had an opportunity that might not be available this summer to other youths like him.

Jones, 19, of Joliet landed a job at Trader Joe’s in Minooka.

He gained the work experience he needed by volunteering his time at the Warren-Sharpe Community Center when he was 17, helping with the food pantry, as well as other work.

“I had better communication with people,” Jones said.

“With my job now, I have to communicate a lot on what’s been done and work as a team.”

Similar opportunities exist for young people across the street at the Harvey Brooks Foundation, a nonprofit organization that offers summer work for teens through a program called Youth Bridges.

However, Executive Director Tempie Bates said about 20 percent of the state funding for that program has been frozen.

She doesn’t know when that money will be available.

“We’re really in a holding pattern until we know how much dollars we will receive,” Bates said.

That could pose a problem for teens searching for work during the summer – jobs that could eventually lead to better opportunities in the future.

Leaders of both Harvey Brooks and Warren-Sharpe said teens also need summer work to stay out of trouble.

In recent weeks, Gov. Bruce Rauner suspended funding for social services and public health grants to resolve a deficit in the state budget. About $3 million was suspended for Teen REACH and $2 million for the Community Services program under the Illinois Department of Human Services.

Rauner spokeswoman Catherine Kelly wrote in an email that the state is facing a “$6 billion hole because of the

Daniel Jones, 19, jumps rope with children Wednesday in the after-school program at the Warren-Sharpe Community Center in Joliet. insider deals and overspending by career politicians.”

Difficult choices were made, and while some services were discontinued, the budget contains $3 million for preventing homelessness, she wrote.

‘Great opportunity for young people’

Bates said she found out in early April that funding was frozen for Youth Bridges, which receives about 20 percent of its funding through the state Community Services program. The rest comes from business sponsorship and donations, she said.

Youth Bridges is an eightweek program for people ages 16 to 24. The average number of students in the program

ranges from 10 to 20, Bates said. Sign-up for Youth Bridges begins in early May, she said.

The program is designed to promote work ethic among young people through job and skill training. Participants develop leadership, character, computer literacy and financial planning skills.

“It’s a great, great opportunity for young people to really learn good, good work ethic and behavior that’s necessary for them to function in this economic time,” Bates said.

Kay Bolden, Warren-Sharpe executive director, said she will get employees from the Youth Bridges program. The Community Center runs a summer camp where

teens from the program take on counselor roles.

If the program doesn’t receive enough money, it will pose two problems.

“One is the community agencies will have a hard time running summer day camps for kids … [and] you will have teenagers who will have nothing to do but roll in the streets,” Bolden said.

Teen employment programs contribute to community economic development and allow young people to develop in a positive way, Bates said.

The area of Joliet where Harvey Brooks is located has seen gang activity and some shooting incidents that involved young people, she said.

“Without jobs and without

some money for youth to really use during the summer, they’re pretty idle and that leads to other negative activities,” she said.

Because of the uncertainty over state funding for Youth Bridges, Bates said she has put in a call to Pat Fera, manager for the Workforce Investment Board of Will County.

She said she wants to find out what summer job opportunities it may have for youths.

The Workforce Services Division of Will County offers a Youth Program that is federally funded for people ages 17 to 21. By July, that age limit is expected to increase to 24.

“We’re just in limbo,” she said. “We don’t know what’s going to happen yet.”

The Great Read ends by rocking out Visitors were encouraged to celebrate the power of reading

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com BOLINGBROOK – Blasting inside the Fountaindale Public Library on Wednesday was the history of rock music through the ages.

Songs from Elvis Presley, Nancy Sinatra and Jimi Hendrix came alive through musicians Skip Griparis and Gina Knight as the 2015 The Great Read program came to a close.

Their musical and comedy act was part of the theme for the community literacy program, which was “Pop Goes the Culture.”

Tom Hernandez, Plainfield School District 202 spokesman, tested the audience’s knowledge of pop culture by making the sign of the horns hand gesture.

“Who invented it?” he asked. “… Gene Simmons from KISS. All right!”

With the pop culture theme, participants of The Great Read program explored how the latest popular books, movies and trends impact the way people talk, live and per-

ceive the world. Hernandez said The Great Read encourages reading and celebrates its power.

Community members are encouraged to read books about pop culture and participate in related programs slated throughout May. Visitors of the grand finale Wednesday were given one book for free called “PEOPLE 1000 Biggest Moments in Pop Culture.”

Winners of the Great Read art contest were announced, with Erika Tucker, Madelea Perales and Michael Kazak winning in the adult, teen and youngest category, respectively. Each created a piece that related to the program’s theme.

Perales said her creation was supposed to be an art assignment.

“My teacher said turn it into some kind of pop culture theme, so I did that,” she said.

Participation winners from several area libraries were announced as well, which included Linda Dybas, Kristen McClatchy, Eleanor McArthur, Cindy Migliavalla,

Skip Griparis plays rock songs for the audience Wednesday at Fountaindale Public Library.

Betty Shinn, Megan Cannella, Lisa Scarielli, Lore Cortez and Brian Chada.

Griparis and Knight taught the audience the history of rock, blues, ragtime and other genres while playing the songs. Audiences heard The Tokens’ “The Lion Sleeps

Tonight,” Bob Dylan’s “Blowin’ in the Wind” and Johnny Cash’s “Ring of Fire.”

When Griparis donned sunglasses and played Roy Orbison’s “Oh Pretty Woman,” he got the audience to clap along with him. He also played a song from Elvis Pres-

ley.

When Griparis was finished and exited the stage, Hernandez said to the audience he had something he always wanted to say.

“Ladies and gentlemen, Elvis has left the building,” he said.

Community meeting slated for Joliet Park District rec facility

By BOB OKON bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A future recreation center at Nowell Park likely would include an indoor soccer and baseball field, but just what it contains could be shaped by residents who attend a community meeting Tuesday.

The Joliet Park District will hold the meeting at 6 p.m. Tuesday at Hartman Recreation Center, 511 N. Collins St. Much is still to be decided about the future East Side recreation facility, one of a

number of projects funded by a bond referendum approved by voters in November.

“It’s going to be more of an indoor soccer and baseball stadium with a walking track,” Park Board President Glen Marcum said. “It could have a fitness facility.

It could have a community room. There are different options.”

Some decisions still outstanding include whether the recreation center will be built in Nowell Park.

“If everything goes right, that’s where we want to build it,” Marcum said.

Surveyors are at Nowell Park this week checking a possible sewer line running underneath that could affect construction. Marcum said the park district learned about the sewer line recently. It does not know if the line is still in use.

Other matters that might be more interesting to those attending the Tuesday meeting include what should go into the building.

“We’re asking all the residents who want to hear about it or have an opinion on what we should do with it to come to the meeting,” Marcum

“We’re asking all the residents who want to hear about it or have an opinion on what we should do with it to come to the meeting” Glen Marcum Park Board president said.

If all goes right, construction could start this year, with the facility opening in July 2016, Marcum said. But,

he added, that is an optimistic timetable.

The park district has hired an architectural firm, Dewberry, which will have representatives at the community meeting to present photographs of facilities similar to what may be built in Joliet. Community input will be important in designing the Joliet building, Marcum said.

“The important thing is that it has to be self-sufficient. It has to make money,” Marcum said. “We see it as attracting people throughout the park district.”

Richland school board ratifies teachers contract; board member resigns

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com CREST HILL – The lengthy contract negotiations between the Richland School District 88a School Board and teachers is over after the school board approved Wednesday night a bargained agreement before its reorganizational meeting.

The approval came after teachers ratified the contract April 16.

“It was a long process,” board member Nate Albert said. “I’m glad it’s completed and both sides are satisfied.”

Following the vote, board member Sylvia Zielke tendered her resignation effective immediately. She said she wouldn’t have enough time to commit to board duties because of several issues, including starting a new business and getting married.

Contract

Superintendent Michael Early declined to comment before Wednesday night’s meeting on the particulars of the contract, noting the district will work with the union on a joint news release within the next several days that would explain details of the contract.

Teachers union officials previously told The Herald-News that the agreement is a tentative three-year deal that would be retroactive to Sept. 1, 2014. Teachers would receive 3 percent raises each year, teachers union Vice President Steve Camp said.

Added to the contract was language protecting teachers from being disciplined arbitrarily, Camp said last week.

Teachers voted no confidence in Early and Principal Kelly Whyte last June in part because of what teachers allege was a hostile work environment, Camp has said. In response, the school board issued a vote of full confidence in the administration.

Five-member board

Zielke resigned from the

board Wednesday to focus on her new business, Sunny Lane Acres, which sells natural, non-genetically modified food, including eggs, chickens and honey.

Zielke was first elected in April 2005.

“I’m glad I could be a part of this growth,” she said.

Zielke wasn’t the only one who left the board Wednesday.

Albert didn’t run for re-election to the school board in April because of his campaign to be a Crest Hill alderman.

But he lost in the election to incumbent Tom Inman.

Zielke and Albert were both given plaques by board President Julie Starasinich, honoring their service on the board.

Early said he planned to notify Thursday morning the

Regional Office of Education of the two vacancies, as required by state statute. The district will accept applications beginning Thursday through May 15 from district residents interested in serving on the board.

Interested applicants can pick up candidate packets at the district office. Applicants are scheduled to be interviewed by the board in closed session during the May 20 board meeting. The appointments are expected to be made following the executive session.

The board also reorganized, with Starasinich remaining as president, board member Michelle Cipiti becoming vice president and Sam Chellino continuing as secretary.

JTHS Board of Education holds special reorganization meeting The HERALD–NEWS JOLIET – A special Joliet Township High School Board of Education meeting was held Tuesday to reorganize and seat school board members following the April 7 election.

Arlene Albert, Don Dickinson and Jeff Pierson were reinstated for another term and the oath of office was administered. David R. Skorupa was sworn in to serve his first term on the District 204 School Board, according to a news release from the district.

Jeff Pierson was reappointed board president, Tra-

cy Spesia was appointed vice president and Don Dickinson was appointed secretary. Arlene Albert was appointed to serve as the board representative to the Illinois Association of School Boards Governing Board, according to the news release.

Joliet Township High School District 204 School Board members are elected by residents within the school district’s boundaries. Their terms are for four years. The board adopts policies and rules that govern the school district and operate in accordance with Illinois laws and Illinois State Board of Education regulations.

Police question second motorcyclist in fatal accident

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – Police are interviewing another motorcyclist in connection with an early Tuesday morning crash in downtown Plainfield that killed two residents.

Sean Fitzpatrick, 27, was driving a motorcycle on Route 59 near Lockport Street about midnight when he allegedly lost control of a 2007 Yamaha bike, striking a pedestrian identified as 56-year-old Randy Lambert, according to police and the Will County Coroner’s office.

Plainfield Police Chief John Konopek said police were in the early stages of an investigation, but he confirmed Fitzpatrick was traveling at a high rate of speed when the incident occurred. Toxicology reports that could determine if alcohol or drugs were involved may take several weeks.

Konopek said police are looking into whether the other motorcyclist’s actions may have contributed to the accident. When asked if drag racing may have been involved, Konopek said, “that’s all a part of the investigation.”

Randy Lambert

According to an obituary, Lambert is survived by his mother, Mary Alice Lambert; two brothers, Steven Lambert

and Michael Lambert; sister, Michelle Lambert-Gunter; five nephews, Adam Lavazza, Anthony Lavazza, Aaron Lavazza, Austin Lavazza and David Lambert; and three nieces, Melissa Lambert, Kathryn Diesslin and Heather Lambert.

Lambert was a 1976 graduate of Plainfield High School.

According to the obituary, he enjoyed the company of friends, was an entrepreneur and volunteered for many community organizations, including MainStreet Plainfield and the launch of the inaugural Plainfield Fest in 1982.

Overman-Jones Funeral Home at 15219 S. Joliet Road is handling funeral arrangements. The visitation will be 1 to 4 p.m. SunRandy day. A celebraLambert tion of Randy’s life also will be at 4 p.m. in the funeral home with the Revs. Richard Lindvall and William Beagle. The internment will be private.

Memorial donations can be made to either the Friends of the Plainfield Public Library, Tinley Park Community Church, Plymouth Congregational Church or a charity of one’s choice.

Funeral arrangements for Fitzpatrick were not immediately known.

Police: man reclaims van despite drugs inside

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Police say a man abandoned his van when officers approached it at a forest preserve Monday, and was arrested when he came to get the vehicle Tuesday.

Will County Forest Preserve Police Lt. Tracy Chapman said officers noticed suspicious activity in a 1998 conversion van about 10 a.m.

Monday at the Paul V. Nichols Forest Preserve near Essington Road and Ingalls Avenue.

“Two people were inside the van for quite some time, but when [a police car] pulled in behind them, they got out of the vehicle,” Chapman said.

“One subject went by the bathrooms and lingered at Thomas them. The other M. Ledwell went to walk on a trail and said he’d come back when we asked him to return to [the van].”

Chapman said she in-

formed Thomas M. Ledwell, 36, the van would be towed if he did not return before the preserve closed.

Police searched the van after it was towed Monday night and found drug needles and other paraphernalia, Chapman said.

Ledwell, of the 900 block of Fisk Avenue in Joliet, called Tuesday morning to inquire about retrieving the van and came in at 3:15 p.m., Chapman said. When he claimed the vehicle, he was arrested on a charge of drug possession.

Illinois Environmental Protection Agency Public Notice Proposed Issuance of a Federally Enforceable State Operating Permit Lafarge Aggregates of Illinois in Joliet Lafarge Aggregates of Illinois, Inc. has applied to the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency for a federally enforceable state operating permit (FESOP) regulating air emissions from its aggregate processing plant and flyash depositing facility located at 2509 Mound Road in Joliet. The Illinois EPA has reviewed the application and made a preliminary determination that the application meets the standards for issuance and has prepared a draft permit for public review and comment.

The Illinois EPA is accepting written comments on the draft permit. Comments must be postmarked by midnight May 30, 2015. If sufficient interest is expressed in the draft permit, a hearing or other informational meeting may be held. Requests for information, comments, and questions should be directed to Jillian Hawkins, Office of Community Relations, Illinois Environmental Protection Agency, PO. Box 19506, Springfield, Illinois, 62794-9506, phone 217/782-7027, TDD phone number 217/782-9143, jillian.hawkins@ illinois.gov.

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

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

PLAINFIELD – Some students in Grundy and Will counties achieved the highest score on the American College Testing college entrance exam.

The ACT exam tests college readiness in English, mathematics, reading, science and writing for students in their junior year in high school.

Some students in high schools in Plainfield and Minooka earned perfect scores on the exam: 36.

“I wouldn’t say it was overly difficult,” said Amanda Swanson, a Plainfield South High School student.

Swanson was one of two students within Plainfield School District 202 with a perfect ACT score. She said while she took practice tests and studied, she considers herself a naturally good test taker.

She said she plans to apply at somewhat more selective colleges after high school.

“I am a little more confident now that I got that score on the ACT,” she said.

School officials said Swanson has been involved in band, the Scholastic Bowl, the math team and theater stage crew.

Devon Palmer, a Plainfield Central High School student, also achieved a perfect score. Her mother, Maxine Franck-Palmer, said she was proud of her daughter, who she said is smart and gifted.

“She’s one of those kids you have to remind her to eat because she’s always in the middle of a project,” Franck-Palmer said.

She said Devon was under no pressure to exceed expectations because she plans to go to art school, where a portfolio matters more than a GPA or ACT score. Her daughter’s

Minooka trustees pass balanced budget

By JEANNE MILLSAP Shaw Media correspondent MINOOKA – The village of Minooka’s 2015-16 budget passed without a hitch Tuesday evening as trustees unanimously approved expenditures of $12.2 million and expected revenues of $12.1 million.

The difference between the two amounts, according to Finance Director John Harrington, will be covered by transfers from bond proceeds and capital funds from this fiscal year.

“The budget is in balance,” said Trustee Dennis Martin after the meeting. “It’s a tight budget. The staff did a lot of work on this.”

Martin said the budget takes into consideration a reduction in state revenue.

Included in the coming fiscal year’s expenditures are a police squad car and a replacement mower.

Several capital projects are being continued into the new fiscal year, including the Village Hall renovation project, which is close to 95 percent finished, according to Village Administrator Dan Duffy.

Also included are the Minooka Road bridge construction; Grainger way signs; Wildey Road tar and chip project; the McEvilly Road bike path; and the GIS mapping system.

Village Hall also will get a new camera system; the HVAC system will be replaced in the police department; and work will be done on the Village Hall roof and parking lots.

Lions Park will be renovated and Holt Road will see improvements.

Senior living items approved

Trustees approved an agreement with Robinson Engineering for no more than $410,000 for the village’s street maintenance program and approved refinancing a series of general obligation bonds that Harrington said would save

According to Duffy, Ethan Properties plans to build a complex on the site that will eventually include age-restricted duplexes, an assisted

First to be developed would be the assisted living center.

Trustees approved Tuesday rezoning some of the land from residential to business, final plats for some of the lots and outlots and adding 10 units to the previously approved 92 units.

Duffy said the center could be up and running in a little more than a year.

By J.Tom Shaw Video is a powerful marketing tool for small business. Thanks to high speed Internet, YouTube and Facebook, and the rise of mobile prevalence, more videos are viewed online than ever before.

In the past, using video to reach an audience was an expensive proposition for many small businesses. Production costs and pricy broadcast advertising schedules were too expensive to run with adequate frequency.

Fast-forward to today, and any business with a marketing plan can incorporate video affordably and effectively. Below are a few tips for how you can use video to drive traffic and grow your business: Video is an excellent component to a business website.

When a potential customer is searching your website, offer a relevant, high quality video segment. Content can include benefits of your product or service, interviews with you or your team.

Best of all, testimonials from actual satisfied customers can be just as effective as word of mouth advertising.

Video is an effective way to

improve Search Engine Optimization (SEO). YouTube has dominated the video view field for several years now. Owned by Google, YouTube videos receive favorable search result status in Google searches. Your business can host your videos on YouTube, and link back to your website. You can also display the video on your website using a YouTube widget. In both cases, that linking will improve your chances of getting found by people searching for your product or service.

Video rocks on social media.

Facebook allows videos to auto play in the news feed. Experts have noted that video can outperform organic reach over text and photo content on Facebook.

Social media video for business should be friendly, fun, and informal. Show you and your employees active in the community, having fun with customers, or demonstrating some helpful tips.

Man gets 17 years for abusing young girl

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A California man has pleaded guilty to sexually abusing a young girl in Crest Hill more than a decade ago.

Carlos Sandoval, 40, was sentenced Wednesday to 17 years in prison by Judge Carla Alessio Policandriotes after pleading guilty in exchange for having several other charges dismissed.

About 15 years ago, Sandoval performed various sex acts on a then-7- and 8-yearold girl while she visited his Crest Hill residence.

“Large chunks of my childhood are missing from my memory. [I’ve wondered] was I so weak and stupid that I made an easy target,” the victim told Alessio Policandriotes in court Wednesday. “I was neither. ... I was a child.”

Carlos The victim Sandoval said Sandoval “stole her innocence” and has caused her years of “confusion, guilt and shame.”

The victim contacted po-

lice in March 2014 to report the sexual abuse, though Sandoval had moved to Whittier, California. Whittier police interviewed Sandoval at the request of Crest Hill investigators and he admitted to sexual contact with the girl, according to court reports.

The victim told the judge after she reported Sandoval she learned he had molested another child about the same time.

“I hope every day the defendant sits in his cell he feels the guilt and embarrassment I have felt all these years,” she said.

CREST HILL

Barricade situation ends peacefully

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com CREST HILL – Police say an armed man barricaded himself Wednesday in his Crest Hill house.

Chief Dwayne Wilkerson said friends contacted police about 9 a.m. when the man

said he was despondent and threatened to harm himself at his residence in the 1100 block of Manor Court.

“He [had] not responded to communication from officers, but was by himself with guns inside,” Wilkerson said.

Police set up a perimeter

around the house and evacuated the area.

Wilkerson said the 46-year-old man came out shortly after 1 p.m. and was taken into custody without incident. He was taken to Presence Saint Joseph Medical Center in Joliet for a mental health evaluation.

• Lucas A. Alvarez, 40, of the 200 block of Northridge Avenue in Bolingbrook, was arrested by Bolingbrook police Tuesday on charges of driving under the influence of alcohol and driving with a suspended license.

Initially, the family lived in Streator. However, the family acquired a farm east of town and Norval grew up on the farm. Norval married Jacquelin Mills, also from Streator, in 1948, who survives him.

Norval and Jackie moved their

family to Morris, Illinois in 1954, where they continued to live until his death. Together, they raised their children, Julie (Neil) Ott, Norval (Patricia Pietrzak) Galloway III, Davye Ann Neally, Gary Michael (Sandy) Galloway, John Galloway and Laura Flick, all of whom survive him.

Norval was a longtime member of the Immaculate Conception Church in Morris and service organizations including the Veterans of Foreign Wars and the American Legion. He talked about his experiences at local Memorial Day and Veteran’s Day events. He served as a member of an honorary color guard at veterans’ burials.

As Superintendent in Channahon, Norval cultivated a family relationship among the school’s faculty, staff and students. Norval and the Channahon School community were a great match culminating in the construction and dedication of the Norval B. Galloway, Jr. Grade School in 1976.

He was a lifelong supporter of NIU athletics. Norval coached basketball during his early years in Channahon. Last but not least, Norval was a lifelong fan of the Chicago Cubs, through their good times and bad.

Norval had many lifelong relationships, friendships and interests. He was a good man, he touched many

lives and he will be missed.

Norval’s family would like to recognize the exceptional care given to Norval by Ms. Marijona Corrigan during the last year of his life.

Democrats highlight potential obstacles in Rauner budget

SPRINGFIELD – With only weeks left before Illinois’ 2016 budget must be passed, Democratic leaders and GOP Gov. Bruce Rauner remain far apart on how to bridge a $6 billion revenue gap.

A memo circulated by Senate Democrats late Tuesday questions roughly $5.8 billion in savings in Rauner’s proposed $32 billion budget. The caucus suggests the proposal may not only violate a provision of the Illinois constitution, which promises employee benefits shall not be “diminished or impaired,” but also likely requires changes to state law and federal policies and requires negotiations with labor unions.

Among the senators’ concerns is that cutting $1.5 billion from the Medicaid health care program for the poor, which is funded by state and federal dollars, would require federal approval. Lawmakers face a May 31 deadline to pass a budget.

Ramaya (right), a villager, pleads for food after an aid relief helicopter lands Wednesday at the remote mountain village of Gumda, at the epicenter of Saturday’s massive earthquake in the Gorkha District of Nepal. Aid reached the hilly district for the first time Wednesday, four days after the quake struck.

Aid begins to arrive in remote earthquake-hit Nepal villages

By KATY DAIGLE and JOHNSON LAI The Associated Press KATHMANDU, Nepal – The first supplies of food aid began reaching remote, earthquake-shattered mountain villages in Nepal on Wednesday, while thousands clamored to board buses out of Kathmandu, either to check on rural relatives or for fear of spending yet another night in the damaged capital.

Frustration over the slow delivery of humanitarian aid boiled over in a protest in the city, with about 200 people facing off with police and blocking traffic.

The protest was comparatively small and no demonstrators were detained. But it reflected growing anger over bottlenecks that delayed much-needed relief four days after the powerful earthquake that killed more than 5,000 people, injured twice that many and left tens of thousands homeless. Police, meanwhile, arrested dozens of people on suspicion of looting or

causing panic by spreading rumors of another big quake.

Helicopters finally brought food, temporary shelter and other aid to hamlets north of Kathmandu in the mountainous Gorkha District near the epicenter of Saturday’s 7.8-magnitude quake. Entire clusters of homes there were reduced to piles of stone and splintered wood. Women greeted the delivery with repeated cries of “We are hungry!”

While the death toll in the village of Gumda was low – only five people were killed and 20 were injured among 1,300 residents – most had lost their homes and desperately needed temporary shelter, along with the 90-pound sacks of rice that were delivered Wednesday. Adding to residents’ misery was the rain that has fallen periodically since the quake and hampered helicopter aid flights.

The U.N. World Food Program warned that it will take time for food and other supplies to reach more remote communities that have been

cut off by landslides.

“More helicopters, more personnel and certainly more relief supplies, including medical teams, shelter, tents, water and sanitation and food, are obviously needed,” said the program’s Geoff Pinnock, who was coordinating the flights.

With more than 8 million Nepalese affected by the earthquake, including 1.4 million who need immediate food assistance, Pinnock said the effort would continue for months.

President Barack Obama called Prime Minister Sushil Koirala and discussed U.S. military and civilian efforts already underway to help Nepal, the White House said.

Police said the official death toll in Nepal had reached 5,266 as of late Wednesday.

That figure did not include the 19 people killed at Mount Everest – five foreign climbers and 14 Nepalese Sherpa guides – when the quake unleashed an avalanche at base camp.

DAN WALKER: 1922-2015

Son: Former Illinois governor dies at age 92

By SOPHIA TAREEN The Associated Press CHICAGO – Former Illinois Gov. Dan Walker, who spent four tumultuous years in the governor’s office and nearly 18 painful months as an inmate in federal prison, died Wednesday. He was 92.

His son Dan Walker Jr., an attorney in suburban Chicago, said his father died at his home in Chula Vista, California, early in the morning. “ H e h a d a Dan Walker long life,” Walker Jr. said. “He did many great things and many accomplishments in his life ... He was just a wonderful, passionate man.”

Walker was an early example of a new breed of Illinois politician – someone who disdained traditional political organization – and he won office in 1972 on the strength of his personality. As governor, how-

ever, he alienated Republicans and his fellow Democrats, managing to accomplish little.

After leaving office, Walker became the head of a suburban Chicago savings and loan, where he cut corners and used the business to support a lavish lifestyle. Walker pleaded guilty to fraud and perjury and was sentenced to federal prison in 1987.

He later wrote eloquently about the trauma of life behind bars.

“The only spot of color out in the prison yard looms before me: a tall water tower painted red and white,” Walker wrote in “The Maverick and the Machine: Governor Dan Walker Tells His Story.”

“It offers an alternative to my misery,” he wrote. “I could, if things get any worse, climb it and jump before anyone could stop me.”

A little-known corporate attorney, he grabbed voters’ attention in 1971 by walking across Illinois for 116 days,

“He fervently believed in the power of democracy and the importance of including everyone in our democracy.”

Pat Quinn Former Illinois governor talking about former Ill. Gov. Dan Walker

“He was very bright. He could’ve gone further into politics.”

Aaron Jaffe Former Illinois Gaming Board chairman talking about Walker sleeping in farmhouses along the way.

“Government is out of touch with the people,” Walker would proclaim in his speeches that featured promises to hold down taxes and increase education spending.

Walker captured the Democratic nomination for governor over the establishment candidate, then-Lt. Gov. Paul Simon. He went on to beat the Republican incumbent who had established Illinois’ first income tax.

Once in office, Walker alienated leaders of both parties, particularly Democratic powerhouse Richard J. Daley, the mayor of Chicago.

Former Illinois Gaming Board chairman Aaron Jaffe was a House lawmaker when Walker took office.

“He was very bright,” Jaffe said. “He could have gone further in politics. I think he could have been a presidential candidate had he not been so confrontational.”

Walker maintained that he tried to work with the political establishment but was rejected from the outset.

“I was disliked by the professionals in both parties holding leadership positions as well as by the lower-echelon

party regulars from Chicago,” he wrote. “Daley and the Chicago machine certainly did not want to see me succeed.

The legislative leaders of both parties made no secret of their desire to ‘get Dan Walker,’ as they openly put it.”

Former Gov. Pat Quinn often recalled Walker as a mentor, and he got his start in politics working on Walker’s 1972 campaign. Walker later gave him his first government job.

In a statement, Quinn focused on Walker’s military service in the U.S. Navy and noted his “patriotism.”

“He fervently believed in the power of democracy and the importance of including everyone in our democracy,” Quinn said.

After his retirement, Walker became an avid writer, according to family. He wrote seven books, including a memoir and a novel.

Walker is survived by his wife and seven children. Funeral services are pending.

Americans need room for civility Dana Perino, former White House press secretary for President George W. Bush and co-host of the Fox News Channels “The Five,” makes a plea for civility in her book “And the Good News Is ...”

She’s worried that “We’ve gone from being the confident leader of the free world to bickering about every living thing under the sun.”

Perino is not against arguing, mind you. “Being civil means that we can argue vehemently and then either find some compromise, call it a tie or move onto something else,” she writes.

She has some solutions for the partisan rancor that is paralyzing our government and poisoning our discourse.

“If you don’t start off thinking the opposition is evil,” she writes, “but that they want to get to the same place you do, then you’re already on your way to having a more civil and productive conversation.”

In a recent phone conversation, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush told me of his desire to “figure out a way that gets beyond being pushed into a position where you sound like you’re intolerant of people who may not agree [with you],” while still standing up for your own beliefs.

One front on which Bush sees room for a more nuanced conversation is abortion. He brings up several discussion topics: “Do you think a 13-yearold should [be able to] have an abortion without a parents consent?” he asks. “Do you think there should be [many] more resources for adoption?”

“Should there be counseling for women who are in a precarious position of having to make a decision like [abortion] that is life-changing?”

On “all these things,” Bush said, “there is more consensus”

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

VIEWS Kathryn Jean Lopez than is acknowledged in partisan politics. “The challenge is how do you get to that – we have to get to that.”

Democrats should welcome this approach. That is, if they want to make some headway on the issue and give teeth to the “safe, legal and rare” rhetoric of Bill Clinton. Specifically, in the case of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, she should be kept to her own words.

In her 2003 book, “Living History,” she writes about an encounter with Mother Teresa: “While we never agreed about abortion and birth control, Mother Teresa and I found much common ground in many other areas including the importance of adoption. We shared the conviction adoption was a vastly better choice than abortion for unplanned or unwanted babies.”

Uniting, not dividing, is good politics and good leadership. Since 2009, Gallup has seen more Americans identify as pro-life than pro-choice. In a 2015 Marist poll, 84 percent of Americans want restrictions on abortion – including seven in 10 who identify as pro-choice.

This should be a bipartisan, civil effort, for the sake of our very civilization. Would a President Hillary Clinton honor Mother Teresa with her leadership?

SOFTBALL: JOLIET WEST 11, JOLIET CENTRAL 0

Tigers bounce back with victory

By CURT HERRON cherron@shawmedia.com JOLIET – After a conference loss at Homewood-Flossmoor on Monday, Joliet West’s softball team was determined to produce a more-complete effort in its next game.

And the Tigers did that Wednesday by combining a nice effort in the circle from freshman Sidney Budzinski with good play in the field and plenty of contact throughout the lineup at the plate.

It all added up to an 11-0 SouthWest Suburban Conference Blue road victory over rival Joliet Central .

Budzinski only yielded one hit, while striking out five in seven innings to collect the victory. She only allowed four runners to get into scoring position and was supported by her infield, which recorded two-thirds of the Steelmen’s outs, including several after good plays.

Meanwhile, the Tigers (125, 3-3) collected 16 hits and put together multiple hits and runs in four of the seven innings.

“It was a good game for us to bounce back,” Tigers coach Heather Suca said. “We had a rough one on Monday and we needed this. The girls came out relaxed and ready to play and we put the ball in play.

That was our emphasis today and the girls came out and did it.

“It was also good to see Sidney, a freshman, get more confidence by getting another win. I was very happy with the way that she pitched. And I was glad to see how the defense bounced back. Everyone has bad games, it’s how you come back in your next game.”

Although Central (7-14, 0-6) also put the ball into play often, it had the misfortune of usually hitting it right at someone.

The game could have ended early, so coach Erin Douglas was proud of how her squad battled throughout, despite the score.

“One thing that we always want to do is compete and although the scoreboard may not show it, we made them

play seven when it could have been over quickly,” Douglas said. “I don’t know what happened in their last game, but they played a great defensive game today.

“But we also made our plays on defense. As we told the girls after the game, we can only control what comes at us, and they did a very nice job at the plate. Overall, the girls kept themselves mentally strong and stayed in it and finished out as well as they could.”

The Tigers got on the board when Madi Mulder (3 for 5) hit a blooper to score Kris-

ten Ames, and then DeShonte Smith came home on an error.

Further damage was averted when center fielder Ashley Hare made a throw home on a fly out to complete a double play.

West added another run in the third when Smith blasted a shot over the high fence in left.

It started to break open the game in the next inning when it doubled its score. Budzinski (2 for 3) singled up the middle to bring in Mulder and Kiley Robb, and courtesy runner Kelly Doran came home on a triple to deep center by Jen Ames (3 for 5, two RBIs).

“After that loss to H-F [on Monday], it was good to come back and play our hearts out,” Budzinski said. “This is definitely more like how we play.

Getting a lot of hits and making plays consistently. We talked about individual goals, so that we all could come together.

“Kristen did a great job in the outfield and Alysia (Rodriguez) and Jen did a great job up the middle. It’s awesome knowing I had that solid defense behind me. This is a crosstown rivalry and we wanted this win and knew that they wanted it just as badly as we did.”

The Steelmen collected their lone hit in the fourth when Christina Valentino lined a shot off the base of the wall in right center.

West made it 9-0 in the fifth when Lorelei Tokarczyk singled in Kelsey Warren, Alysia Rodriguez (2 for 3) scored on

Robb’s grounder and Ames added an RBI infield hit.

Central’s sixth was reflective of the way its day went at the plate, Hannah Gawenda, Valentino and Brenna Rande all hit hard shots in the infield, but shortstop Rodriguez, second baseman Ames and third baseman Mulder all made plays to get outs.

“We haven’t been hitting as a team to our full abilities, so it was really nice that everyone came through for us today,” Rodriguez said. “We only had one strikeout after having 14 in our last game. We’ve been struggling, but we refocused and did what we had to do.

“We had some great defensive plays, and I loved how we were able to both hit and play defense. We should have won our last game but we put too much pressure on ourselves.

We just need to know what our weakness is and make that our strength and we’ll be fine.”

BASEBALL: LOCKPORT 4, JOLIET WEST 2

By DICK GOSS dgoss@shawmedia.com

fin McGuire’s high-hop infield single, the first of McGuire’s three hits.

However, sophomore third baseman Gavin Lovesky, who had three of Lockport’s five hits, stroked a single leading off the third, advanced on a wild pitch and scored on a dropped fly ball with two outs. Then in the fourth, Stephen Hill homered to left field to provide Moralis with a 2-1 lead.

“Having any lead is huge, so Stephen’s homer was big,” Moralis said. “When a pitcher has a lead, he knows he doesn’t have to worry. If I go out and give up a run, now we’re at least not down.”

West did get back even in the bottom of the fourth on consecutive singles by McGuire, Blake Tomac and Robert Talarico. But Moralis got

two of his six strikeouts to escape further damage as the Tigers left the bases loaded.

“My arm is a little sore,” Moralis said. “It’s the triceps.

But it definitely is better throwing when our guys are putting the bat on the ball and playing better defense like they are now. It’s starting to come together for us, but there still is a lot to come.”

The West camp is not feeling the same vibes.

“We’re not coming through,” Tigers coach John Karczewski said. “We’re getting well-pitched games, but unfortunately our hitting is not getting going. Our guys have to start taking ownership of what they are doing. We had no timley hitting and our defense let us down.”

Lockport broke the tie in the fifth, scoring twice off

losing pitcher Nick Marconi.

Lovesky started the uprising with a single, and he stole third with two outs. Jeremy Quade singled in the go-ahead run, moved to third when the ball was misplayed in right field and scored on an error.

“I’m definitely in one of my better streaks,” said Lovesky, who was 5 for 6 in the two-game series. “I’ve been working with Jeremy Quade and coach Blaesing [assistant coach Greg Blaesing]. They’re telling me to clear my mind and relax.

“This is really special. I love being part of this team.

Being where we are in the conference is an awesome feeling.”

“Gavin is only a sophomore and he continues to get better as the year goes on,” Satunas said.

BASEBALL: PLAINFIELD SOUTH 6, MINOOKA 2

Frisby leads Cougars past Indians in conference action

By ROB OESTERLE roesterle@shawmedia.com MINOOKA – The first batter of an inning can be the key, both for the offense and the defense. If the offense gets that batter on base, the odds are good the team will score. If the defense gets the batter out, the odds are good that it won’t.

That certainly held true Wednesday in the Southwest Prairie Conference baseball matchup between Plainfield South and Minooka. The visiting Cougars got their leadoff batter on in each of the first five innings and scored in four of them en route to a 6-2 win.

In both of the innings Minooka scored, the leadoff batter reached as well.

It started early as Plainfield South’s leadoff hitter, Austin Male, reached on an error to lead off the game. He was forced at second on a grounder by the next hitter, Nick Mayerhofer, but Mayerhofer then stole second and came around to score on a single by Marco Escobar. Escobar later scored on an error on a ball hit by Konnor Ash to make it 2-0.

Craig Lincoln for Shaw Media

Easton Frisby threw six innings and allowed only four hits for Plainfield South in a 6-2 win over Minooka on Wednesday in Minooka.

In the second inning, South’s Tyler Dickey led off with a double to left-center, stole third and came home on a two-out RBI single by Mayerhofer, who stole second but was left stranded. Marco Melgoza then led off the third for the Cougars (12-7, 5-6 SPC)

with a single and stole second.

Walks to Gabe Wair and Ash loaded the bases and Minooka replaced starter Brad Van Asdlen with Tyler Paulsen. Marcus Stewart greeted Paulsen with a sacrifice fly to right, scoring Melgoza for a 4-0 lead.

Paulsen then got Dickey to line

out to Jake Null at second, and Ash was doubled off first to end the inning.

“It was a tough loss to them yesterday,” Plainfield South coach Phil Bodine said. “We were aggressive at the plate early and on the bases. We were able to put some pressure on them and score some runs.”

Staked to an early lead, South pitcher Easton Frisby made quick work of the first few innings, needing only 35 pitches to get through the first three innings. He faced 10 batters on those innings, with the only glitch being a double by Cristian Sanchez, who was the only Indian to have two hits.

“Easton Frisby did a great job today,” Bodine said. “We needed it after yesterday, when our guy with a 0.20 ERA [Shane Ritter] gave up seven runs in two innings. Easton went out there and threw strikes, got ahead of hitters and our defense made some plays.”

Minooka (10-12, 6-5) finally got on the board in the bottom of the fifth. Paulsen led off with a double and courtesy runner Kody Block went to third on a grounder by Jon Vesper and

scored on a wild pitch. Cole Thompson then doubled, but the Indians couldn’t bring him around.

In the bottom of the seventh, Paulsen was hit by a pitch leading off the inning and Block ran for him. A wild pitch sent Block to second, and a grounder to second by Vesper moved him to third. After Thompson walked, Zack Earls singled to right to score Block.

An out later, Hayden Laczynski singled to left to load the bases, putting the tying run at the plate. Jake Null grounded to first to end the game.

“The kids showed some heart at the end,” Minooka coach Jeff Petrovic said. “We just didn’t have enough runners on early in the game to get excited. Plainfield South did a good job. Their pitcher threw strikes and their defense made all the plays.

“We had some trouble early getting ahead in the count.

But, Brad Van Asdlen has been terrific for us all year. Everyone is entitled to an off-game and this was his. It’s hard in varsity baseball to come back from a 6-0 deficit.”

JOLIET – A 4-2 score has become significant in the Lockport baseball season.

For the second straight SouthWest Suburban Blue showdown, the Porters got the better of Joliet West, 4-2, on Wednesday to remain unbeaten in the league.

Lockport (13-5-1, 6-0) and West (13-5, 4-2) began the week tied with Homewood-Flossmoor atop the conference standings. The Porters will begin their series against H-F on Friday.

Lockport accomplished the sweep of the Tigers behind the pitching of left-handers Austin Moralis and Dylan Barthel. Moralis, coming off a game where he threw 141 pitches in seven strong innings in Fri-

day’s 1-all tie with Joliet Catholic, worked five innings and got the win. Barthel pitched the final two innings for the save.

“Austin was coming off two long outings previously and today I didn’t think he had his best stuff, but he pitched on guts,” Lockport coach Andy Satunas said. “He attacked the zone and got ahead of hitters.

“I’m proud of Dylan, too.

He hadn’t pitched a lot yet he kept his composure, especially when he went after [West leadoff man] Cody Grosse and got the last out after we had a misplay in the outfield [on Josh Pesavento’s double].”

Grosse got West started on the right foot in the bottom of the first when he was hit by a pitch, advanced on Alex Davis’ sacrifice, moved to third on a passed ball and scored on Grif-

BEARS

BEARS INSIDER Hub Arkush and that, in fact, he didn’t show up.

I have no problem with Forte, Bennett or Ratliff skipping the voluntary practices.

Their choice is the definition of them being voluntary, isn’t it?

But Forte already has been paid about $26 million by the Bears over the course of his career, and he stands to collect another $8.1 million this year.

He easily could have jumped on a plane from wherever he is – Lord knows he can afford it – and come to accept his award while paying the team and ownership the respect they deserve and then gone back without damaging his speed training.

I do have some sympathy for Forte. He has been the quintessential team player from the day he arrived and perhaps he deserves better than the huge paycut he’s going to take should he continue playing after this season.

Unfortunately, that’s not how the NFL works and he will receive no sympathy from fans or media, 99 percent of whom are living from paycheck to paycheck.

Forte is either acting foolishly or getting some bad advice. If he changes course and continues to be the guy he’s always been, he will get his $8.1 million this year and perhaps the Bears or another team will look favorably upon him next year when they re-establish his market value.

The best he can gain from the path he’s choosing is to force the Bears to release him because no team is trading for his current contract, nor will they claim it on waivers, and any team that does, then choose to sign him, will pay no more than a fraction of what he currently stands to make.

If this, in fact, is Poker Matt, you’re playing your cards all wrong and you need to find another game.

Arkush makes final picks for mock draft 1. Tampa Bay: Jameis Winston – QB – Florida St. – There are more pros than cons in this pick.

2. Tennessee: Marcus Mariota – QB – Oregon – It’s too hard to project trades, but some team will take Mariota here – and I think eventually will regret it.

3. Jacksonville: Leonard Williams – DT – USC – How often do you get the draft’s best prospect at No. 3?

4. Oakland: Amari Cooper – WR – Alabama – I just can’t see Reggie McKenzie passing on the perfect complement to David Carr.

5. Washington: Dante Fowler – OLB/DE – Florida – Best player available fits Redskins’ biggest need.

6. New York Jets: Kevin White – WR – West Virginia – Jets pull the night’s first big surprise as Woody continues to meddle.

7. Bears: Vic Beasley – OLB – Clemson – As close to Aldon Smith as Bears can get with a much better track record off the field.

8. Atlanta: Todd Gurley – RB – Georgia – I keep hearing I’m nuts; I think Falcons are nuts if they don’t.

9. New York Giants: – Andrus Peat – OT – Stanford – Many don’t have him this high, but all agree he’s a first-rounder, and I think he’s special.

10. St. Louis Rams: Brandon Scherff – OT/OG – Iowa – Not a sexy pick but a perfect fit for the Rams.

11. Minnesota: Trae Waynes – CB – Michigan State – Mike Zimmer can’t help himself with the best defensive prospect on the board.

12. Cleveland Browns: DeVante Parker – WR – Louisville – The Browns are desperate at wideout, and Parker is a fit here.

More online Visit ChicagoFootball.com for more news.

13. New Orleans Saints: Bud Dupree – OLB – Kentucky – I think this is a bit high for Dupree, but he is the flavor of the month.

14. Miami Dolphins: Ereck Flowers – OT – Miami – A solid fit for a team that is close and adding key accessories now.

15. San Francisco: Eddie Goldman – DT – Florida St. – Jim Tomsula was coaching the D-line a couple of months ago, Justin Smith is gone, and this kid is the best on the board.

16. Houston Texans: D.J. Humphries – OT – Florida – Texans are committed to upgrading O-line, and the best are going fast.

17. San Diego Chargers: Melvin Gordon – RB – Wisconsin – If Rivers is staying, the Chargers need to take the pressure off him, and Gordon can do that.

18. Kansas City Chiefs: Jaelen Strong – WR – Arizona St. – Jeremy Maclin was a nice get, but with Bowe gone the Chiefs need a big guy to go with the little guy.

19. Cleveland: Malcom Brown – DT – Texas – Browns run defense took a hit last year, and Brown will cure some of those ills.

20. Philadelphia: Kevin Johnson – CB – Wake Forest – I keep hearing this kid is one of the fastest risers in this draft.

21. Cincinnati: Jordan Phillips – DT – Oklahoma – The Bengals need to get tougher next to Geno Atkins to allow him to penetrate and run free.

22. Pittsburgh: Landon Collins

– S – Alabama – The only safety worthy of a first-round pick is the heir apparent to Troy Polamalu.

23. Detroit: Byron Jones – CB – Connecticut – Jones is a high priority on some boards, a second- or third-rounder on others, but I heard a comparison to Darrelle Revis.

24. Arizona: Eli Harold – OLB – Virginia – Not a need for the Cardinals, but this is a too-goodto-pass pick.

25. Carolina Panthers: T.J. Clemmings – OT – Pittsburgh – This is a real need and perhaps the best player available.

26. Baltimore: Nelson Agholor – WR – USC – Perfect fit for Ravens trying to replace Torrey Smith and Jacoby Jones in return game.

27. Dallas: Tevin Coleman – RB – Indiana – With what he did at Indiana, what might Coleman do behind Pokes’ O- line?

28. Denver Broncos: Cameron Erving – C – Florida St. – Broncos need upgrade everywhere on line but left tackle, and Erving might fit any of those spots.

29. Indianapolis: Shane Ray – OLB/DE – Missouri – Ray is a top-eight player on my board – you know why he dropped – and Colts can’t believe their luck.

30. Green Bay: Arik Armstead – DT – Oregon – Armstead helps at both nose and five-technique, and there are no corners you can rate as high here.

31. New Orleans: Jalen Collins – CB – LSU – This is an off-thefield risk pick, but the Saints are desperate on the corner.

32. New England: Marcus Peters – CB – Washington – Kicked off the team at Washington, but Belichick’s handled lots of these guys.

Matt Forte is still very much a Bear, he just chose to be elsewhere Tuesday when the great majority of his veteran teammates convened for the first day of a three-day voluntary minicamp.

Forte was not alone, as Martellus Bennett and Jeremiah Ratliff also were missing in action.

What separates Forte’s decision from Ratliff and Bennett’s is he is in the final year of his contract and seeking a new deal, and Forte also chose not to appear earlier in the day when he was to be presented with the Brian Piccolo Award, an honor the Bears and the McCaskey family take seriously.

The reaction to Forte’s decision to skip the award ceremony was swift and severe on talk radio and social media.

There is little or no support for Forte’s contract wishes among Bears media or fans, and that clearly got Forte’s attention as he released a statement later in the day.

Forte said of his decision to skip the minicamp, “If the Bears want to give me a contract they will; if they don’t they won’t. I’m not mad or holding a grudge. I don’t operate like that. I’m not there because I’m finishing my third week of rigorous speed training which we do not do at Halas Hall.”

He added, “This is not an explanation of guilt. This is an explanation because I value you all as fans. But what I do not value is your opinion on what I should do to best prepare for the season.”

Relative to the Piccolo Award, Forte wrote, “... This training trip was planned long before our offseason schedule was released to us. I value this award greatly as it is my second time winning this prestigious award. Unfortunately my decision to work on my body and craft in preparation for the season did not coincide.

“I’ve come to realize that this year along with each reception or carry might be my last in a Bears uniform. So with that being said it’s all LOVE Chicago. #Ialwaysshowup.”

Had Forte skipped the last two sentences, he might have pulled off his mea culpa. Instead, he highlighted that this clearly is about his contract

By TODD KARPOVICH The Associated Press BALTIMORE – White Sox manager Robin Ventura was ready to put an all-around strange day at Camden Yards quickly behind him.

In what was believed to be the first major league game played without fans in attendance, Chris Davis hit a three-run homer in a six-run first inning Wednesday and the Baltimore Orioles beat the Sox, 8-2.

The gates to the ballpark were locked out of concern for fan safety after recent rioting in Baltimore after a 25-yearold black man died in police custody.

The unusual decision to play the game was made because it was the best time to fill out the schedule for both teams.

“It was just a surreal en-

vironment,” Ventura said. “I really don’t think we want to play in another one like this.

I don’t think they do either.”

In a crisp 2 hours, 3 minutes, Baltimore won its third straight since snapping a fivegame losing streak.

“A game with no fans, but they were out at the hotel,” Orioles center fielder Adam Jones said. “You could see on the balcony, you could hear them outside the gates. A lot of people were telling me to look up the check-ins on Facebook.

So there were people around supporting, just not inside the stadium. But there was still some support.”

Ubaldo Jimenez (2-1) continued his rebound from last season’s struggles, allowing two runs – one earned – on three hits with six strikeouts and just one walk over seven innings. Manny Machado hit his fourth home run among

his three hits and Caleb Joseph had a pair of RBIs. “It was kind of like instructional league, Gulf Coast League, Arizona League,” Orioles manager Buck Showalter said of the lack of fans.

Sox right-hander Jeff Samardzija (1-2) allowed a season-high eight runs – seven earned – on 10 hits, including two homers, over just five innings. Entering the game, he had not allowed a run over his previous 10 innings.

The Orioles batted around against Samardzija in the first.

With the bases loaded, Adam Jones hit a sacrifice fly and Davis followed with a threerun homer that landed on a nearly empty Eutaw Street. A double by Everth Cabrera and a single by Joseph rounded out the scoring.

Samardzija continued to labor, allowing another RBI single to Joseph in the third.

A place of outreach, relationships Pregnancy Resource Center of Will County specializes in unexpected pregnancies More online

By DENISE M. BARAN–UNLAND dunland@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Soon after Amy Doty of Frankfort began volunteering at Living Alternatives Pregnancy Resource Center in Joliet, the nurse manager announced her retirement and Doty, a nurse for 20 years, stepped up.

With 50 to 75 client visits a month, Doty is busy. Twenty to 30 of those visits are pregnancy tests and ultrasound scans; the rest are parenting classes with the “mommy mentors,” Doty said.

The May 9 Walk for Life 2015 is a major fundraiser, important for a center that offers services for free. Doty, also a mother of nine children (four are biological and five came into her heart and home through foster care), said she loves working a job that lets her help other moms.

“As a nurse, I feel real strongly about empowering patients with education and informed decisions about their care that are medically accurate,” Doty said.

Overseeing the center – also known as the Pregnancy Resource Center of Will County – is Ruth Tibstra, who formally worked as a teacher, volleyball and track and field coach, and for the Girl Scouts.

Before Tibstra came to the center more than three years ago, she ran a pregnancy center in Oak Lawn for about eight years. Ever since Tibstra was in high school, she has wanted to serve women with unexpected pregnancies.

Clients who use the center run the gamut of ages and circumstances, Tibstra said.

They are married, single, teenagers, 40-year-olds. The first step is to do a pregnancy test. The second, if clients are at least six weeks and four days along in their pregnancies, is an ultrasound, to determine if the pregnancy is viable.

Jocelyn Banks (left) speaks Tuesday with a counselor at Living Alternatives, a faith-driven crisis pregnancy center, during a pregnancy consultation while her son, Christian McNair, 4, plays with a basket of blocks.

Banks, who is pregnant with twins, used Living Alternatives’ services when she was pregnant with Christian.

“It’s a limited ultrasound, not a full-blown diagnosis of the baby,” Tibstra said. “But we make sure there’s a heartbeat and we make sure it’s in the uterus, where it belongs.”

Next, Tibstra said, is helping the client explore her options: keeping the baby (and offering parenting classes), adoption (with a referral to the center’s adoption director) and abortion (with an explanation of risks and the option of post-abortion care).

The center is one of 12 in Illinois and Indiana under the “Living Alternatives” umbrella, which celebrates its 30th anniversary this year. It receives referrals from local obstetricians and other social services agencies, Tibstra said.

Although many clients are first-time moms, the center sees exceptions.

“We have some women who are on their fourth and fifth pregnancies,” Tibstra said, “and they have used our

“Sometimes women in that situation have nowhere to turn. We want to be the place that they turn.”

Executive Director at Living Alternatives Pregnancy Resource Centers service for every one of them.”

No matter what option clients choose, Tibstra said the goal is for each to feel loved.

“Sometimes women in that situation have nowhere to turn,” said Tibstra, who is the executive director. “We want to be the place that they turn.”

Clients that choose to keep their babies may attend HOPE (Helping Others Through Education) parenting classes. These are conducted one-on-one via a volunteer – or “mommy mentor” – and DVDs, Tibstra said.

“Parenting isn’t easy,”

Tibstra said. “Sometimes our moms just need a little extra support and someone in their corner saying, ‘You can do this,’ and giving them the tools to be good moms.”

As clients complete certain aspects of the classes, they earn “baby bucks,” which they use to find gently used clothing and other baby products through the center’s boutique. Clients can remain with the program until their children are 18 months old, Tibstra said.

How to help? The biggest way is to support the May 9 fundraiser, by collecting pledges and by walking. The center receives no federal funding, Tibstra said, and relies on gifts from individuals, organizations and churches.

The goal for this year’s walk is $60,000, she added, which helps provide services to clients such as Jocelyn Banks, 28, of Joliet. Banks was so pleased with the service she received during

Banks said she is working with the same mentor she had with the first pregnancy, who remembered her, which Banks found comforting. To her, it illustrates how much staff and volunteers value their clients.

“They pray for these people, reach out to these people and build relationships with these people,” Banks said.

In addition, Banks appreciates that her children are included in meetings, and she’s thankful for the overall outreach and support she’s found at the center.

“They have a lot insight into the coping mechanisms of single parenting and how to use your faith to get through rough times,” Banks said, “even when it seems like there’s no outlet.”

Joliet school takes first at ‘Battle of Books’ competition 30 JCA international student ambassadors travel to Spain The HERALD-NEWS JOLIET – Twenty-four international student ambassadors from Joliet Catholic Academy high school along with two chaperones, Lauren Finaldi and Ellen Herron, completed the second half of a short-term exchange with a Catholic high school in Vilanova, Spain.

This is the third year JCA has participated in the exchange program. Participants lived with families of local Vilanova high schoolers who traveled from Spain in the fall to experience the Joliet Catholic Academy tradition.

Students from JCA went to school and attended classes with their host brother/sister.

PUZZLES CROSSWORD

SUDOKU

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

What happens when you’ve no discard?

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Konrad Lorenz, an Austrian zoologist, ethologist and ornithologist who was a Nobel Prize winner, said, “It is a good morning exercise for a research scientist to discard a pet hypothesis every day before breakfast. It keeps him young.”

Discarding at the bridge table can add years to your life, especially when facing a predicament like East’s in this deal. What should he do?

South is in three no-trump. West cashes his four club tricks, dummy pitching a spade on the fourth. But what should East discard at tricks three and four?

Assuming a raise of one no-trump to two no-trump would have been invitational, not a minor-suit transfer, North’s sequence shows about nine points with a four-card heart suit.

South, with a maximum 17, has no hesitation in bidding game.

South has eight top tricks: two spades, three hearts and three diamonds. His best chance is a 3-3 diamond fit, but we can see that they are 4-2. However, maybe East will not discard correctly.

East seems to be squeezed in three suits. He needs to remember to keep equal length with the dummy. East must discard two spades and hope that his partner can hold the suit. Note that if East discards either a heart or a diamond, declarer gets four tricks in that suit and nine in all.

Phillip Alder is combining in May 2016 with Kalos to run a bridge and golf river cruise starting from Bordeaux, France. Details are available on Phillip’s website: www.phillipalderbridge.com. ******

Many things, from dry air to pollen, can irritate your lungs. Here are some tips for avoiding irritants: • Use a humidifier when the air is very dry.

Dry air can irritate the airways.

• Ventilate your home to reduce dust and cooking exhaust in the air.

Unless you are allergic to outdoor allergens, keep windows open when the weather is warm enough.

• Have furnaces and chimneys inspected and cleaned regularly.

• Avoid aerosol products.

• If you have allergies, avoid what triggers them: pollen, pet dander, dust, mold, etc.

All of the things I’ve suggested you do to protect yourself against the consequences of COPD take time, and some take money. Believe me, they’re worth it.

Pulmonary rehab combines exercise therapy, breathing retraining, education and psychological support to help you carry out day-to-day activities with greater ease and independence.

I strongly recommend it to all of my patients with COPD.

Pursed-lip breathing is a valuable technique you can learn in pulmonary rehabilitation. Use it to pace yourself through physical activities so you don’t feel out of breath.

HOROSCOPE TODAY – You can make great strides this year if you are prepared to work hard.

Changing your career, picking up more skills or finding a way to use your talents more diversely will help you move in a positive, progressive direction.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Improving your financial position should be a priority. Be proactive. Formulate a realistic budget, call in debts and pay off high-interest loans. Selling unwanted or unused items will help tide you over.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Don’t be too free with your personal information.

You will end up in a vulnerable position if your confidante has trouble keeping your secrets. Avoid scandal by keeping a tight lip.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – You are in charge of your destiny. It’s up to you to make changes if you are dissatisfied with your position. Personal and professional partnerships will suffer if you don’t shake things up.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Keep a close

watch on your cash. Overspending will be your downfall. You won’t have any luck sticking to a schedule, so lighten up and have some inexpensive fun.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Don’t give in to peer pressure. Deception is imminent. Follow your heart and be firm if someone tries to take advantage of you. Take control instead of following orders.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Bide your time and do whatever it takes to get into fighting trim. A spontaneous trip to an out-of-the-way location will give you the inspiration you are looking for.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Let your creativity flow freely. Put your workplace worries on the back burner and make a point to surround yourself with people who share your passion.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Be prepared to experience a power struggle. You are best off keeping your opinions under wraps for now. Look for an activity that will keep you out of

trouble.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – You will experience a revelation regarding a project. Continue to fine-tune your plan until you feel that you are ready to make a presentation. Money is coming your way.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Some people will judge you harshly if your motives aren’t clearly understood. You will help a worthy cause if you offer your time and services.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Don’t try to get away with something that you know is wrong. Exaggerating or embellishing your credentials will lead to disaster. Be up front and avoid embarrassment or negative consequences.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – This is a great time to further your education or learn on the job. A position you are eyeing is attainable if you update your resume. Don’t let self-doubt stand in your way.

ratory infection – even the common cold – can worsen COPD symptoms.

To reduce your risk: • Wash your hands often with soap and water or alcohol-based instant hand sanitizers.

• Get vaccinated against pneumococcal pneumonia.

• Get a flu shot every year.

• If you do get the flu, ask your doctor about antiviral medication. It can reduce the severity and duration of your illness.

COPD. My doctor is great about prescribing medication, but he doesn’t give me much other advice. So I’ll ask you: What can I do to improve my quality of life?

Dear Reader: There’s a lot you can do. And I have to admit not all doctors are very good about telling you how your actions can protect your health.

First, some basics.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) refers to a group of disorders that damage the lungs and make breathing increasingly difficult. Common symptoms include a mucus-producing cough, breathlessness, rapid breathing, wheezing, tightness in the chest and fatigue.

You can do a lot to minimize the symptoms from COPD so you can continue to do the things you enjoy:

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips bally abusive.

I admit I had anger issues.

I had to plan most of the wedding alone because we were four hours apart. When we argued, he would say one thing and then something different later. He also would tell his mom stuff about me and our relationship I considered private. After the breakup, I found out he lied to me about his religion.

I had a hard time with the breakup. I tried hard to reconcile or find solutions, but he rejected all of them. Now he’s blaming me and throwing things in my face.

I am heartbroken and depressed. I don’t know if I should be mad at him for the lies and the heartache he has caused me, or mad at myself for messing up. I have lost my confidence and self-esteem.

What do I do? – Still In Love Dear Still In Love: Take off the rose-colored glasses for a moment and consider what the reality of a marriage to Alex would have been like. You would have had a mama’s boy for a husband, one you couldn’t count on to tell the truth and who blamed you for anything that went wrong.

Don’t you realize you dodged a bullet? If things had turned out differently, you’d be writing me as an unhappy wife, probably with children.

Let it go, get help for your anger issues and don’t waste more time brooding. There are times it is better we don’t get the things we wish for, and this may be one of them.

The Argyle Sweater

Dear Abby: I’m 45, employed and earn plenty of money.

I’m in a great relationship, my kids and grandkids are healthy and happy, and my parents are alive and well. I enjoy the small things in life, fishing, reading, the beach, mini vacations, bowling, etc. I raise funds to feed the homeless.

So what’s my problem, you ask? Abby, I’m not really sure what my purpose is in life or if the way my life is, is normal. I feel content – even happy at times – but I’m troubled because it seems a lot of people do the exact opposite of what I am doing and they all have a purpose. Some of them are going to school, raising kids, having relationship problems, money issues, etc. They seem to be doing so much, and I feel like I’m doing so little.

What is normal for my age? Should I be doing more?

Most times I feel happy, but on a day like today I feel unfulfilled. Do I need to do more? – What Is Normal?

Dear What: Doing so little?

Count your blessings. You hold a job, have a family I presume you regularly interact with, have a great relationship, hobbies you enjoy and contribute to those who have less than you. I would say you are productive and successful.

However, if you think you need to do more, then it’s possible you do. Take some time, decide what it is and reallocate your time if you feel you need something more to fulfill you. But please stop measuring yourself by anyone else’s yardstick because people who do are rarely happy.

Dear Abby: I fell in love with “Alex” during my last year of college. We had known each other for 18 months. One month before our wedding, he broke up with me. He says I was ver-
