I for one am going to be thrilled when Wednesday gets here.

I love elections and politics, but like I suspect many of you are, I’m ready for the votes to be tabulated and, if new people are to take office, for that transition to begin.

Election Day is Tuesday, and in Will County, there are more than 200 races on the ballot (not all are contested).

There are dozens in Grundy County as well.

I cannot stress enough how important it is for you to make your voice heard Tuesday. Offices on the ballot include municipal councils, a few mayoral races, school boards, library boards, park districts and fire protection district boards. Turnout tends to be low for local government races, which baffles me: These are the boards and councils that spend the bulk of your

VIEWS Kate Schott tax money. Why would you not want to have a say in who those people are?

We’ve spent the last week highlighting some of the higher-profile races in Will County in the pages of The Herald-News and online.

If you’ve missed election coverage this past week, please visit www.theherald-news.com/election-central for any of the stories you may have missed. If you live in Grundy County, please check out our sister publication, the Morris Daily Herald at www.morrisdailyherald. com, for articles on many of the races in that county that will appear on Tuesday’s ballot.

We intend to run in Monday’s edition a list of all of the races in our coverage area that will be on the ballot.

You also can find the full ballot (as well as a lot of other election information, such where your polling place is) at www.thewillcountyclerk. com/connect/site in Will County, and www.grundyco. org/election-information in Grundy County.

Marilyn May celebrates 10 years on WJOL radio Joliet candidates invited on air; a few show

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com CREST HILL – WJOL radio talk show host Marilyn May remembers the weeks leading up a possible radio interview with Barack Obama back in 2007.

Rumors were circulating that the then-U.S. Senator was planning to announce his candidacy for president soon – possibly on the Oprah show, said May, host for Marilyn’s Cafe Society Radio Show on 1340 AM WJOL. “The word on the street was he was going to make his announcement with Oprah Winfrey. And I said ‘I’m going to get him and I’m going to beat Oprah!’ [I was] a big thinker, a big dreamer,” May said in the WJOL Studios Saturday to celebrate her show’s 10-year anniversary.

Obama didn’t announce his

candidacy on her Saturday afternoon radio show. But that interview, and several others, she said, has helped shaped the purpose of the show: to inform, educate, empower and entertain.

That’s why her 10-year anniversary show Saturday included “Meet the Candidates” segment for those running in Joliet races in Tuesday’s election.

“We’re days away from the election,” May said. “I wanted to extend the invitation to every Joliet candidate.”

Joliet mayoral candidate Andy Mihelich, who faces off against City Councilman Bob O’Dekirk and Joliet Mayor Tom Giarrante in Tuesday’s election, joined her on the show, as did Terry Contrell, candidate for Joliet City Council District 1, and Angel Guzman, candidate for District 4.

May said her show has evolved over the years, but some things have remained the same: a focus on news – and the occasional fun karaoke session.

“Sometimes I’ll sing along to some of my favorite songs,” May said, laughing.

May recalled a conversation she had with the program director when she first inquired about a job at WJOL in 2005.

“He said ‘So you think you can talk for two hours? You think you handle that?’ ” May said. “And I said I’ll give it a try. So we here are, 10 years later.”

Marilyn’s Cafe Society Radio Show is a two-hour weekly radio show that debuted in April 2005. It airs live most Saturdays beginning at 1:05 p.m. and streams online at www. wjol.com and www.marilynscafesociety.com.

Churches strive to bring Easter message of Christ to the young

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com

J

OLIET – Religious leaders say they strive each year to engage young children in the Easter holiday, hoping to get beyond the commercialization, Easter egg hunts and candy-filled baskets.

“They need to know that it’s not just another Sunday.

It’s not just another day of worship,” said Herbert Brooks, pastor at St. John M. B. Church in Joliet. “Young people need to understand it’s not just about coloring eggs, or dressing up in a pretty bonnet for church. It’s more than that.”

Easter is considered the most significant holiday in the Christian calendar – the day people around the world celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ. But how do community leaders relay deeper meaning to children?

A portion of Sunday’s worship service at St. John M. B. Church is dedicated to the youth, Brooks said. They act out short skits and give Scripture-based speeches.

Brooks, who said he grew up in a restrictive, religious household, said things are different now with all the distractions that pull children in different directions.

“How do we get them here, how do we keep them here?”

Brooks said. “A lot of times, that’s our biggest challenge.”

St. John M. B. Church is among the nearly dozen churches in the Joliet area that come together each year at Mt. Olive Missionary Baptist Church in Joliet on Good Friday for Holy Week celebrations, Brooks said.

The biggest lesson Brooks hopes children take with them following Sunday is to understand the story of Jesus Christ and what it means for them.

“I want them to know that

Celebrating Passover, celebrating freedom

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Rabbi Charles Rubovits says it’s a struggle each year figuring out how to best put the 3,600-year-old story of the Jewish people escaping slavery from Egypt in perspective.

Especially when telling that story to children, said Rubovits, rabbi for the Joliet Jewish Congregation, 250 N. Midland Ave. in Joliet.

“Ask any child what the definition of slavery is and they’ll say, ‘Well, mom

makes me clean my room, dad insists that I sweep out the garage,’ ” Rubovits said.

“That’s not slavery.”

While there’s quite the generation gap, it’s important the story is told, he said.

The Passover celebration began Charles Friday and Rubovits ends April 11. During that time, and especially on Seder Sunday, Rubovits said he tries

his best to engage young children with the telling of the story.

“One of the things I tell them is, ‘Stop and think. If you were alive 3,600 years ago, you would have been a slave. You would have to work,’ ” he said. “What does it mean to be free? What does it mean to be a slave?”

It’s also a struggle to recruit younger families and children to the congregation, he said. About 150 people attend the synagogue, but fewer than two dozen are youth members, he said.

“We know full well we are competing with school, with after-school activities, sports, theater, music lessons, the mall,” Rubovits said.

He said Passover is a time of celebration and a way for young children and parents to connect through traditions associated with the Jewish holiday: lighting holiday candles, abstaining from working and electronic devices during certain days of the Passover week, and avoiding certain foods and drinks.

Contested races in east, west for D-86

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Both the east and west zones for Joliet School District 86 have contested elections for the Board of School Inspectors.

Christine Kim, Tonya M. Roberts and Sammie Valadez are vying for two spots in the east, while Quinn Adamowski and Frank Cabreda are trying for one spot in the west.

Deborah Ziech is unopposed in the at-large election. Kim, Roberts and Ziech are on the

present board.

Frank Cabreda

Cabreda, 39, is a sushi chef at Mariano’s. He is a graduate of Lockport Township High School and attended a welding trade school. He and his wife have twin 10-year-old daughters and a 3-year-old son.

“My wife is a teacher and I’m invested in the education system for her and our children,”

Cabreda said. “A lot of parents question where the education system is going. There’s a lot up in the air with the new governor and pensions.”

Cabreda believes educating parents about the positives of Common Core is a big challenge for school inspectors.

“I’m a parent, not a politician,” he said.

Quinn Adamowski

Adamowski, 35, is associate principal at Lincoln School and holds a master’s degree in education administration. He is

married and previously ran for the board in 2011.

He believes serving on the board would be the best way to contribute to the community because of his background in education.

Getting other community members involved with local schools would be a priority for Adamowski.

“We need to develop a strategic plan to move forward, especially as it relates to state

funding,” he said. “There are many unfunded mandates.”

Tonya M. Roberts

Roberts did not respond to messages left on her Facebook page and at the district office, and her number was unlisted. Roberts previously served on the board, but did not seek re-election in 2011. She was

PLAINFIELD DISTRICT 202

School board candidates weigh in on Common Core PLAINFIELD – All four candidates for three seats on the Plainfield School District 202 Board have a unique perspective of what they hope to bring to the district if elected.

Incumbents Gregory Nichols and Kevin Kirberg are running for three, four-year terms along with CAPE board member Heather Drake and CCSD 168 school administrator Sharlyne Williams.

All the candidates said the district can improve on implementation of the Common Core state standards.

Sharlyne Williams

“I think Common Core has some validity,” Williams said.

“The implementation was not

as good as it should have been.

There needs to be decreased emphasis in testing and more emphasis on student learning.”

Williams said she is focusing on decreasing the district’s achievement gap and improving learning opportunities for all students.

That includes looking at the number of student suspensions or discipline records and cross-referencing them with academic performance.

“I would like to see the relationship between discipline and performance. There is usually a correlation,” Williams said.

She also wants to help education funding reform, influencing the legislative process in the district by improving connections to legislators and residents.

101 IDEAS FOR A NEW JOLIET

“The responsibility of school boards has been expanding from administrative to a more involved legislative outreach process,” Williams said.

Kevin Kirberg

Kirberg wants to continue

education funding.

Kirberg said Common Core curriculum is state law, but school control for curriculum needs to remain.

“That’s why local school boards exist in Illinois,” he said. “PARCC has some issues. ... Kids are conditioned to not take the assessments seriously because they are assessed too much.”

Heather Drake

Drake said she understands the premise of Common Core, but she said the district, and the nation, may not have been ready for implementation and

Six look for election to Joliet Junior College Board

By CHRIS LaFORTUNE clafortune@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A packed field is competing for a seat on the Joliet Junior College board of trustees, with six candidates vying for two seats in Tuesday’s election.

Maureen Flanagan Broderick, Diane Harris, Sharon Cemeno Hicks, Susan Marie Klen, Michael Venegas and Robert Wunderlich each seek a seat on the community college’s board.

Maureen Flanagan Broderick

A resident of New Lenox, Broderick decided to run for the JJC Board after her daughter attended classes there.

“I had liked everything I saw,” Broderick said. “I thought, you know what, there is an opening. It’s time for some new blood there.”

With 12 years experience on the New Lenox School District 122 Board, Broderick said she has a great understanding of school finance. She believes this knowledge would make for an easy transition to the community college level.

Broderick believes increasing enrollment at the college is a key issue. Greater communication with taxpayers and searching for grant money to support programs are also important to her.

Diane Harris

As a graduate of JJC, Harris said she believes it’s important that its governing board reflect the diversity of its student population. Harris attempted to run for election to the JJC Board previously, but was unsuccessful.

Harris said she supports the college’s efforts to be fiscally responsible, and if she were elected, she would want to see the college pursue the money it is owed to complete its downtown campus. She would lobby legislators to pursue whatever money is needed.

“Another thing I would want to focus on is increasing the graduation rate,” Harris said. “I noticed that the percentages did drop in terms of graduation.”

Harris said she would encourage the development of a program by which students could visit with professionals in the community, to see what

The multipurpose center is troubling, she said, because among the activities officials have said it will be used for are graduation ceremonies, as well as some sporting events, which she said are not good revenue producers.

Were she a member of the board, Hicks said, she’d want more research done into the need for such projects, especially with decreasing enrollment.

“My dad raised us on his JJC education,” Klen said.

“I was raised to respect the school, and especially during bad economic times, as we’ve had the last seven years, community college is everything.”

Klen is concerned about continued funding from the state of Illinois. The college has cut millions from its budget in recent years to make up the difference, she said, and had to await millions from the state to finish the City Center Campus in downtown Joliet. But she sees improvement on the horizon.

“I’m less worried than other people because Gov. [Bruce] Rauner has said several times that he has no plans to cut community college education, because he understands that,

CHICAGO – Two suburban Chicago cousins have been indicted on charges of conspiring to help the Islamic State, with one allegedly planning to attack an Illinois military facility and the other allegedly planning to go overseas, federal prosecutors announced Friday.

Hasan Edmonds, a 22-yearold member of the Illinois Army National Guard who trained in Joliet, and his cousin, Jonas Edmonds, 29, were charged with conspiring to provide material support to the Islamic State of Iraq. The indictment was filed Thursday in U.S. District Court.

Prosecutors say the two men will be arraigned April 8.

The men, who are U.S. citizens and residents of Aurora, were represented at a previous hearing by attorneys from the federal public defender’s office who were unavailable

to comment Friday on the indictment.

Conspiring to provide material support to a foreign terrorist organization carries a maximum penalty of 15 years in prison and a $250,000 fine, according to the U.S. attorney’s office.

Prosecutors allege that Hasan Edmonds planned to travel abroad to join Islamic State fighters while his older cousin attacked a military installation in northern Illinois.

Hasan Edmonds was a member of Golf Company 634th Brigade Support Battalion, based in Joliet, according to Illinois National Guard Lt. Col. Brad Leighton. He reported to the Joliet base one weekend a month.

Jonas Edmonds allegedly communicated to an undercover agent that it might be difficult for him to get travel documents. He said he would therefore stage attacks in the U.S., prosecutors allege.

Cousins indicted in alleged terrorist plot

JCC making substantial economic impact Grads increase earnings, contribute millions to community, report says

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Joliet Junior College graduates generate millions in tax revenues and a JJC education increases earnings for workers, according to a statewide economic impact report.

In a 2014 report to the Illinois Community College Board, the Northern Illinois University Center for Governmental Studies found community colleges produce substantial economic benefits for the state. Community colleges benefit businesses, graduates generate billions in tax revenue and their earnings increase by 30 percent over their pre-enrollment wages, according to the report.

JJC’s total economic impact in the regional economy in fiscal 2012 was about $106.3 million, with 1,902 jobs, ac-

cording to its own report.

“We’re built to be adaptable and dynamic,” JJC spokeswoman Kelly Rohder said. “We absolutely exist to respond to the needs of the community we serve while still providing the same kind of high-quality education [as universities].”

JJC makes an impact in Will County by partnering with the Workforce Investment Board of Will County to help train job seekers and employees, Rohder said. It also makes an impact by partnering with Will County Center for Economic Development, a nonprofit organization responsible for attracting and retaining jobs.

In February, JJC worked with state Sen. Sue Rezin, R-Morris, and area energy companies to create a new operations engineering and technician degree program

in response to a growing need for more employees for energy and industrial companies in the face of potential waves of retirement.

According to JJC’s economic impact report, students who completed their JJC education in fiscal 2011 saw a $4,600 increase in earnings over their pre-enrollment wages. A 25-year-old JJC graduate can expect a total lifetime earnings gain of almost $535,000.

Those graduates go on to contribute millions in local, state and federal tax revenues, with JJC students who attended school in 2002 paying about $153 million in state taxes and $507 million in federal taxes between 2003 and 2012, according to the report.

Statewide, all students completing a community college education in the same fiscal year saw an average gain of almost $3,587, a 30 percent increase over their pre-enrollment wages. Students who attended a community college in 2002 paid about $4 billion

in state taxes and $13.2 billion in federal taxes between 2003 and 2012.

JJC has exceeded statewide averages for employment in some ways. In 2011, about 86 percent of JJC graduates were employed in Illi-

nois, compared to 77 percent statewide.

A community college is one option for people looking for training and new skills at the Workforce Investment

Six compete for four seats on Lincoln-Way High School Board 9 FRANKFORT – Finances are at the top of the minds of the six candidates seeking four seats on the Lincoln-Way High School District 210 School Board.

On Tuesday, incumbents Christine Glatz and Kevin Molloy seek to retain their seats on the board, while Ronald Lullo, Chris McFadden, Joseph Spalla and Steve Kapsalis each look to be elected to their first terms.

Four have slated together in the election – Glatz, Lullo, McFadden and Molloy.

Christine Glatz

A chemical engineer by background, Kapsalis’ main motivation in running for the school board is to give voters a choice when selecting new board members.

One area that concerns Kapsalis is taxation. While the economy turned south in 2008 and 2009, and his property values declined, taxes continued to rise, Kapsalis said.

“The school district can say they have done quite a bit of cuts, but as far as I’m concerned, I don’t think they’ve done enough,” Kapsalis said.

Were he elected, Kapsalis said he would look throughout the entire budget and comb through expenses. He opposes raising property taxes further, and believes that if the budget were managed correctly and money spent wisely, there would be enough to run the district.

Ron Lullo

Lullo has a background in criminal justice, sociology, business and education. He previously ran for the District 210 School Board four years ago, but was not elected.

He sees joining the board as “paying it forward” for the education both of his children received at the Lincoln-Way high schools.

One way to bring in additional revenue to the district would be to pursue sponsorships for extracurricular pro-

Chris McFadden

McFadden has school legislative experience, serving on the Frankfort School District 157-C Board since 2011. The last two years, he’s served as the board president.

A federal prosecutor formerly in private practice, McFadden said he has a background in municipal finance that would serve him well on the board were he elected. Both of his parents were teachers, and he feels comfortable with education policy.

In terms of finances, the Frankfort district had not raised its tax levy in three of the last four years, McFadden said. Last year, the levy increased only to capture new construction.

With outstanding debt from the construction of its two new high schools, there are similar opportunities for savings in District 210, McFadden said.

The district also could look to overhead administrative costs for potential savings.

er $2 million or so, the options are becoming limited.

Kevin Molloy

Spalla is a member of the Mokena School District 159 Board. When he ran four years ago, that district had also faced financial issues. It had cut extracurricular activities, reduced programs and eliminated full-day kindergarten.

“So I got involved with it at that point, and learned a lot about school financing and how you do things on a board and was able to bring back over the past four years everything that prior board had cut,” Spalla said.

The district also introduced a dual language program in Spanish and English for kindergarten. Spalla worked through two teacher contract negotiations and helped hire a new superintendent.

Spalla believes District 210 needs more community involvement. The Mokena schools achieved what it did

An incumbent, Molloy joined the District 210 School Board in 2005, filling a vacancy left after the resignation of a member. He was re-elected in 2007, and again in 2011.

Molloy believes in term limits on government legislators, but with a new superintendent in the district and two board members deciding not to seek re-election this cycle, he wants to remain with the board to provide his experience.

“What brought me back was to support the vision that Scott brings to the table ... along with his fellow administrators vision on getting the ship straight,” Molloy said.

Molloy is a strong backer of corporate sponsorships for the high school’s athletics and extracurricular programs as a source of potential revenue.

Having made $9.5 million in cuts, the district is about as lean as it can get, he said. With the state looking to take anoth-

First elected to the school board in November 1993, Glatz is president of Glatz Management Services Inc. in Mokena.

She has owned the company for 25 years.

During her tenure on the board, Glatz said she was honored to work with former Superintendent Lawrence Willey for 20 years. She would like to remain on the board to offer support to new Superintendent Scott Tingley.

Over the past seven years, the district has cut expenses by $9.5 million, Glatz said. State revenue has gone from $18 million in 2009 to $10 million in 2014, and projections show possible further cuts of another $1 million to $2 million.

The district will continue to look at cost reductions, Glatz said, focusing on areas that won’t affect students, as it has before. It has not had a formal

14 Report: JCC brings 1,900 jobs • JCC

Continued from page 8 Board of Will County. Pat Fera, Workforce Board manager, said JJC helps the group find programs that train people for occupations in demand in Will County.

“Because JJC is a low-cost and easy option, a lot of our job-seeking customers go to JJC for their training and we pay for that training,” Fera said.

Fera said JJC will help with work readiness programs that train people in

soft skills. It also helps youths who have dropped out of high school work toward a GED or gain marketable skills.

Fera said not many other workforce organizations nationwide have a partner as responsive to employer needs as JJC. According to JJC’s economic impact report, JJC generates millions in local sales and wages annually, as well as offers 1,900 jobs. In fiscal 2012, almost 1,200 full-time and part-time workers lived in communities surrounding JJC, with a total payroll of almost $6 million.

PLAINFIELD – The Plainfield Tornado 25th Anniversary Committee is planning a memorial and panel discussion for Aug. 28.

ber of dogs sold at the two pet stores in those years.

He said other local governments have enacted similar ordinances on retail pet sales.

Furry Babies could not do business under such an ordinance, owner Ana Soskik said.

She said customers at Furry Babies want purebred or designer puppies.

“Switching our entire business is just not feasible to meet the demands of our customers,” she said. “We believe the customers should have the right to choose where they want to get their puppies from – a breeder, shelter or a pet store.”

McFarland said the process by which the stores acquire dogs makes it impossible for consumers to identify the breeders. Owners at both stores said they provide information to customers about the breeders and are required to do so by state law.

JOLIET – A Joliet city councilman wants pet stores to sell dogs from local pounds, shelters and breeders instead of “puppy mills.”

Councilman Jim McFarland argues that Joliet should take action to protect dogs from inhumane breeding conditions and consumers from unhealthy pets.

“I think our federal and state laws are not tight enough,” he said. “That’s why I think we need to act locally in Joliet and protect our consumers.”

McFarland said his proposal, now under review by the city attorney, would require Joliet pet stores to sell dogs that come from animal control centers, humane societies, rescue organizations or small, local breeders.

The proposal also covers cats.

But Furry Babies, one of the stores affected by the ordinance, does not sell cats.

The other store, Petland, only takes in kittens from local people who cannot find homes

for them, said part-owner Belinda Newland.

Newland contested McFarland’s claim that the process by which the store gets dogs – through brokers who buy them from breeders – does not protect consumers from buying unhealthy dogs.

“I’m required to get a health certificate from my broker that the puppy has been veterinary checked and is healthy,” Newland said. “As soon as they come into my store, they get a full check-up from my veterinarian, as well.”

Newland also said Petland does not contribute to the homeless pet problem and actually helps out by finding homes for kittens. She said the store takes back dogs and pets of any kind if a customer is no longer able to take care of them.

“I actually have two [dogs] here right now,” she said. “We don’t care what the reason is.

We just care for our pets.”

McFarland, however, said 2,070 dogs were euthanized by Joliet Township Animal Control in 2012 and 2013, and that is 37 percent more than the num-

I hope to achieve an elimination of the crime wave that has resulted in 10 recent murders.

Candidates seek 2-year terms on Park Board tivities the past two years.

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – Five candidates are running for four seats on an expanded Plainfield Township Park District Board.

But only two races are contested, and two incumbents out of three candidates for the two-year terms have formed an alliance to win Tuesday.

Incumbents Mary Kay Ludemann and Larry Newton are running unopposed for sixyear terms on the board.

Rob Ayres, Ridgley Ann “Mimi” Poling and John Ledvina are running for two two-year seats recently created by a new state law that expanded the park board from five commissioners to seven.

The park board has experienced strife, public outrage and state intervention since the 2013 elections.

Ayres was appointed to the board by state Sen. Jennifer Bertino-Tarrant, D-Shorewood, in November; and Poling was appointed by former state Rep. Tom Cross, R-Oswego, a month later.

The change was expected to dilute a three-commissioner majority on the board.

All four members currently on the board are endorsed by the Plainfield Park District Alliance, a political action committee formed by members of Park Truth, which helped spread awareness of the board’s decisions and ac-

John Ledvina

Ledvina said he believed reliance on the Plainfield Park District Alliance is wrong.

“Our biggest problem is lack of credibility,” he said.

“Taxpayers are fed up with the political posturing and personal vendettas.”

Ledvina, a real estate broker, also doesn’t believe the board expansion has fixed the board’s political nature and suggested the mayoral race in 2017 will raise the political stakes in all Plainfield races.

Ledvina said his past experience, including helping Plainfield village officials with revenue ideas, makes him a good candidate to find alternate revenue streams for parks projects other than state funds, which can be unpredictable.

Ridgley Ann “Mimi” Poling

Poling, a horticulturalist, said she is concerned about the board’s decisions the past two years, but she wants to focus a new term on beautifying the parks with flowers, shrubs and water features.

“I believe in green, beauty and color,” she said. “I would like to feel the seasons when I walk into our parks.”

She also wants to work with subdivisions in the district to improve both park district and neighborhood parks, and get more seniors active in the park

district’s senior programs.

“Part of the problem is that seniors don’t call themselves seniors anymore,” she said.

“We have to re-brand, rename how we’re appealing to this group of people.”

Rob Ayres

“It’s going to take a little bit of time to build up trust not only with residents, but with staff,” Ayres said. “They went through a pretty strange time and it definitely had to be uncomfortable with them.”

Ayres, an accountant at Nicor, wants to regain the public’s trust in the board by working on relationships and collaboration in and outside the park district.

“I would like to get a better understanding of what the best practices are for park districts by looking at and making sure we’re collaborating with other park districts,” Ayres said.

Ayres said the park district also needs to look at how it’s promoting its programs and find new ways to advertise.

NEW LENOX – Seven candidates are vying for three spots on the New Lenox School District 122 Board.

Board member Maureen Broderick and board President Nick DiSandro both are seeking re-election.

They are being challenged

by Michele Rosenfeld, an attorney; Jonathon Cohen, a chiropractor and community college professor; Nicole Swallow, who has a master’s degree in accounting; Albert Haring, a math teacher; and William Pender, assistant principal at Joliet Catholic Academy.

Several candidates said part of the reason they’re running for the school board is its history of divisiveness.

The board’s past controversies include a federal lawsuit filed against Broderick by outgoing board member Kathy Miller over an issue regarding Miller’s petitioning to become a board member. Broderick filed the suit against the board for refusing to pay the legal fees associated with the lawsuit against her. At the time, tensions on the board were high.

The case against Broderick has since been dismissed, Broderick said, and she’s “since moved past it.”

Broderick, 57, a board member since 2003, said her knowledge of the district and its budgeting makes her a valuable asset on the board. In the past, she said communication to the public and among the board has fallen short. That’s something she would like to work on. Broderick is ex-ambassador for the New Lenox Chamber of Commerce, an ex-treasurer for the Lincoln-Way Businesswoman’s Association and has served as president of the Chicago National Association of Mortgage Professional Women.

Candidates for school board seek an end to history of divisiveness

New Lenox School District 122 Board candidates

Election set for Tuesday • SCHOOL BOARD

Continued from page 17 With state budget cuts on the docket, “we need to find ways to be more efficient,” she said.

Albert Haring

Haring, 57, is a high school math teacher in the New Lenox school district. Some candidates have criticized his dual role as a teacher and as a board member, if elected, claiming it’s a conflict of interest. He doesn’t see it that way.

“I can understand that point of view, but I think the people that know me know that I try to consider all points of view and come to a fair decision,” Haring said. He also thinks his experience in education makes him more than qualified to serve on the board.

Michele Rosenfeld

Rosenfeld, 46, an attorney since 1997, has worked with the Board of Trade and Swiss Bank Corporation. She said her background in the financial sector makes her a good candidate.

“As a divorce attorney, I’m used to dealing with people in adversarial situations,” she said. “Every board member was elected by voters, and each board member should have opportunity to speak their viewpoint. It’s disrespectful not to allow that.”

Jonathon Cohen

Cohen, 33, a chiropractor

and a professor at Kankakee Community College, said his experience running a small business would help during the budget process.

“I’m comfortable managing a budget,” he said. “I taught at the high school level for a year.

Now I’m working at a community college. I get the end-product of our students.”

Cohen has never run for public office, but he ran because he “felt a need to be more active in the community.” He also wants to foster a “culture of respect” on the board.

Nicole Swallow

Swallow, 39, a health care network financial analyst, said she has a vested interest in the school district her children attend. She wants to continue the district’s prosperity and use her financial background to help it weather potential financial hardships.

“I wanted to throw my hat in the ring and get involved with what has been going on with the board and contribute what I have to offer,” she said.

Swallow said the most pressing issue for the district would be the state funding crisis. She plans to work well with other board members and take all matters into consideration.

Repeated calls to Nick DiSandro and messages left at a phone number associated with William Pender were not returned.

Mama Says….

Get a Colonoscopy!

Especially if you are 50 or older, have never been screened, and don’t have a history of polyps or colon cancer.

According to the American Cancer Society, colon cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in the United States, so it is vital that beginning at age 50 you are screened every 10 years. In fact, it is so important that Gatto’s Restaurant is giving you a $20 Gift Certificate* when you have your screening colonoscopy at Silver Cross Hospital before Sept. 30, 2015.

So what are you waiting for? Call 1-888-660-HEAL (4325) for a referral to a physician on the Silver Cross Medical Staff who performs colonoscopies and tell them Gatto’s sent you!

ing potential questions about board-teacher relationships.

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com

Sam Chellino

Chellino has won election in the Richland district for the past 34 years. He said in that time he hasn’t been a part of a political organization, and hasn’t run for any other office.

He said his focus on students and the school district has kept Crest Hill residents voting for him.

Chellino declined to discuss the relationship the board has with teachers, but he said he wants the contract settled.

“There is no reason it should have run this long,” Chellino said. “I want it settled as bad as the teachers want it settled. That’s my main goal.”

Chellino thought teachers and administrators have done a good job implementing Common Core standards into the district’s curriculum.

“Today, [the standards are] much different from what it was when I got here,” he said.

CREST HILL – Five out of the seven seats on the Richland School District 88a Board of Education are open, but only four will be filled after the April 7 election.

Five candidates are vying for four four-year terms, while no one filed as a candidate for a vacated two-year term.

Four of those candidates – Sam Chellino, Steve McNabb, Michelle Cipiti and Stormy Reiter – are incumbents. Candidate Stephanie Hernandez is also running for a four-year term.

A major issue looming over the school district is the board and administration’s relationship with teachers. Among other issues, negotiations over a new teachers contract have dragged on after the previous contract expired at the end of August.

Chellino, McNabb and a representative for Hernandez’s campaign explained the candidates’ takes on the issues with teachers as well as their views on the district’s implementation of common core state standards.

Cipiti did not return requests for an interview before a Friday evening deadline, and Reiter refused an interview, cit-

Fairmont candidates want better education, accountability

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com FAIRMONT – Candidates competing for spots on the Fairmont School District 89 Board are campaigning for different causes.

Some campaigning together, such as Jeremy Burns, Joe Dalpiaz and Sylvia Dotson, want to improve education at the small Lockport-area school, as well as foster transparency and cut back on administrative costs.

Other candidates, such as Bradley S. Johnson, Katie E. Ulmer and Charles E. Travis, want to continue the academic and financial progress achieved by the school district over the past several years.

Incumbents Burns and Johnson will compete for a two-year term on the board.

Travis, Ulmer, Dalpiaz, Dotson and Poe will compete for four seats with four-year terms. Burns and Dalpiaz live in the Lago Vista retirement community, whose members have been critics of the school district.

Jeremy Burns

Burns, 62, a current member, said he wants to remain with the school board because he wants to support students and cut back on administrative costs. He said he believes the school district has the money to make it a “central cog in this neighborhood.”

“I feel like the kids are not being represented and the administration is spending money on themselves,” Burns said.

Bradley S. Johnson

Johnson, 56, who’s been a board member for more than a decade, said he wants to remain on the board to continue the academic and financial progress the district has achieved in the past several years. He said he originally ran because the school had no books. Now it has books and computers, he said.

“I want to continue that,” Johnson said.

Charles E. Travis

Incumbent Travis, 77, a retired Fairmont school employee, said he has lived and

worked in Fairmont all of his life. He is concerned about Fairmont’s students. He said he wants to guide them and affect their lives, since education is essential to their futures. He said he wants to make sure students have the proper tools to succeed.

“We have to work really hard to get these kids to be able to succeed in life,” Travis said.

member, said she’s been on the school board for more than a decade and she wants to continue to see students receive a competitive education. She wants to ensure students can truly master reading, mathematics and other subjects before entering high school.

Joseph C. Dalpiaz

Dalpiaz, 75, a past public educator and Fairmont school critic, said he wants to run because he does not believe the school is achieving its potential. He said he believes school staff is spending money in areas not directly related to instructional costs and he wants the board to be more responsive to the concerns of parents and citizens.

“I would like the school board and administration to be more transparent in the way they operate the school district,” Dalpiaz said.

“I have 300 [students] that I need to see get educated properly and that’s my goal,” she said. “That’s always my goal.”

Poe, 59, retired Caterpillar machine operator, said he is running because he wants to represent parents who lack support.

He said he believes the administration doesn’t sense obvious solutions to their problems. He also wants better communication between Lago Vista residents and the school.

“That’s what I’m seeing … the concerns could be met easily, but we’re looking too far ahead when the solution is in front of you,” Poe said.

Warrant issued for suspect in shooting Assistance sought

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD hlitchfield@shawmedia.com COAL CITY – Authorities have issued a $1 million arrest warrant for a suspect in connection to Wednesday night’s shooting in Coal City.

An arrest warrant was issued Saturday morning charging Walter L. Webster, 28, of Romeoville with two counts of attempted murder and one count of aggravated battery with a firearm, according to Coal City Sgt. Walter L. Tom Logan.

Webster Bond was set in the warrant at $1 million.

Webster is described as being 5 fiit 11, 170 pounds with brown hair and brown eyes, according to a wanted poster from Coal City police.

Authorities responded at 8:10 p.m. Wednesday after numerous residents reported hearing shots fired near the Shell gas station at 725 E. Division St. in Coal City.

Adam Fierro of Braidwood, the owner of Horse Shoe Transportation Company of Braidwood, was found bleeding from gunshot wounds after his vehicle struck an unoccupied vehicle at the Shell station.

Fierro was being dropped off near the gas station by an em-

Coal City police are asking anyone with information on the case or on the suspect to call them at 815-634-2341. ployee to retrieve his vehicle.

The employee then left without witnessing the shooting.

During an altercation, Fierro allegedly was shot at several times by Webster, who is an ex-employee at Horse Shoe, according to a news release from Coal City Police Department.

Fierro was found in his vehicle after driving from the scene of the shooting to the Shell station, where he struck an unoccupied vehicle.

Logan has said Fierro’s vehicle had bullet holes in numerous locations and the windows were shot out.

Thursday afternoon Coal City police obtained a search warrant for the phone belonging to the victim, which was seized at the scene. Video surveillance also is being attained from local businesses.

Authorities have called the shooting an isolated incident.

The victim was taken to Morris Hospital in critical condition Wednesday night, then was airlifted to Loyola Hospital in Maywood. By Thursday, the victim was in stable condition.

I hope to achieve the creation of fair and impartial hiring practices, fair and impartial inspection and licensing practices, and fair and impartial official interaction with residents.

Mama Says….

Get a Colonoscopy!

Especially if you are 50 or older, have never been screened, and don’t have a history of polyps or colon cancer.

According to the American Cancer Society, colon cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in the United States, so it is vital that beginning at age 50 you are screened every 10 years. In fact, it is so important that Gatto’s Restaurant is giving you a $20 Gift Certificate* when you have your screening colonoscopy at Silver Cross Hospital before Sept. 30, 2015.

So what are you waiting for? Call 1-888-660-HEAL (4325) for a referral to a physician on the Silver Cross Medical Staff who performs colonoscopies and tell them Gatto’s sent you!

Kim also is a member of the District 86 Community Council.

Kim did not respond to messages left on her Facebook page and at the district office, and her number was unlisted.

According to the District 86 website, Kim was re-elected

Valadez, 34, is an office manager at Beaver Creek Trailers.

She and her husband have two daughters – ages 11 and 7. Valadez graduated from Andrew High School in Tinley Park.

“I’ve been doing the PTO for six years and see a need for good input from parents to the board.

I don’t think the current board can look at things from the perspective of parents whose children are going through this right now,” Valadez said.

Valadez said funding will “always be an issue” and addressing parents’ concerns about Common Core should be another focus for the school board.

Continued from page 4 testing.

“They’re still changing what they want to mandate,” Drake said. “High school kids were taken out of regular school day.

Some missed reviews or tests.”

A way to help students deal with the new standards and provide more revenue for the district, Drake said, is to enter into a sponsorship for technology and get local companies to advertise for fees or assistance, such as laptops for common core preparedness.

She also supports bringing back IT staff cut during the recession.

One of Drake’s main goals is giving high school students more elective class opportunities by reducing classes from seven, 56-minute periods to six, 49-minute and two, 48-minute periods, adding an eighth period to the school day.

Greg Nichols

Nichols said most of the discussion about Common Core was overblown because of political motives. But the most important factor for him is making sure local school boards retain control.

As secretary for the board, Nichols said he has seen how small percentage cuts in funding from the state can affect the district, the fourth largest in the state by enrollment.

“In my first term, we worked to rebuild some of the fund balance after we got hit hard by the recession,” he said.

Nichols wants to continue the fiscal path the board has laid out over his four-year term.

His personal goals include moving his focus to the dis-

trict’s curriculum, including an all-day kindergarten.

“Others have it, and we’re falling behind,” he said. “It’s becoming a standard.”

Junior College Board • JJC BOARD

Continued from page 6 especially in trying economic times when people are unemployed, you’ve got to have a good community college,” Klen said.

Michael Venegas

Venegas knows several people who work at JJC, both faculty and staff, and as they have raised concerns to him about the college’s operations, his interest in its governing body has increased.

“I’d be one person out of seven, and I don’t get to make the final decision,” Venegas said. “All I can do is offer a different perspective.”

Venegas is most particularly concerned about JJC’s business approach to running the college. He’d like to steer the board away from viewing education as a general business.

Venegas said with enrollment projected to be stagnant, he’d want to explore having the college better cater to student needs, reaching out to them, offering and expanding programs throughout the district rather than expecting students to come to the main campus for classes.

Robert Wunderlich

A member of the JJC

Board for 38 years, Wunderlich wants to remain with the board to see the completion of several of the college’s projects, including the City Center Campus, the college’s multipurpose building and the Romeoville expansion.

“I’ve been the chair of the Buildings and Grounds Committee for 20-plus years, and I just am concerned about the bricks and mortar part of the college,” Wunderlich said.

He also is concerned about the money not coming from the state owed to the college. JJC had awaited the $25 million it needed on the City Center Campus before finishing building it out, he said. While it had money to finish the project, he said, JJC wanted to use the state money that it was owed, and waited on completion.

The college has maintained a balanced budget since its inception, Wunderlich said. Though it has had “some modest tuition increases,” he said, students have understood the need.

He believes his experience with the JJC Board makes him a candidate of choice come Tuesday’s election.

Continued from page 19 “We’re running with a three-point platform,” Juan Hernandez said, which includes supporting the music program, continuing improvement on STEM – science, technology, engineering and math – curriculum, and encouraging positive working relationships between the board, administration and teachers.

That last point references the strife between teachers and administration.

“She wants to make sure everything is open and on the table,” Juan Hernandez said.

“She believes when things are closed, that’s when mistrust happens.”

He also said it was important to promote classes, such as the “Hour of Code” event held in December, to complement Common Core initiatives.

McNabb, a teacher at River View Elementary School in Plainfield School District 202, said he knows what teachers go through.

“I really want to improve the climate [between teachers and the district],” McNabb said. “I just feel like we all have to take ownership for the things we do, the board, administration and teachers.”

McNabb said he wants to keep encouraging people in the district to step out of their comfort zone for the betterment of Richland.

McNabb also said he wants the district to continue with the “strong job” in implementing Common Core for all the students.

“I think they do a really nice job with it,” he said, adding that Richland needs to build on its technology initiatives, such as providing Chromebooks for student use on exams.

Skits, charitable works used to teach Continued from page 3 Christ died for their sins, but that they don’t have to be a sinner. They can be a better person,” Brooks said. “With all these distractions in the world, I hope it makes them better people.”

Building up faith

A

Larry White Principal at St. Mary Nativity School Nativity Church were filled with parents and younger students, while eighth-graders dressed up and acted out the crucifixion of Jesus Christ by following the steps Jesus took, from the moment he was condemned all the way to his death. The presentation included narration and song while actors positioned themselves to recreate the Passion of the Christ.

White asked a key question Wednesday, as onlookers pointed at and ridiculed Jesus – played by 14-year-old Nathan Nemanich.

“Would you have stopped to help Jesus, or would you have been too busy?” White asked.

White said he hopes students reflect on that question

and attempt to answer it for the Easter holiday.

Ariana Marales, 14, who played Mary, said an important lesson learned by acting out the Living Stations is to know that “Jesus died for us.”

“He died for us and forgave us even though people were laughing at him,” she said.

Earlier in the week, White said, St. Mary Nativity students packed food for Feed My Starving Children, a program designed to help feed hungry children around the world.

“It’s about giving them something tangible, something that ties them into their faith,” White said. “Then we can move from that into what their faith is really about. We try to tie lessons into their everyday life. They need to understand there are those less fortunate and that they have a responsibility, because of their faith, to try and help.”

“The biggest takeaway should be, ‘It’s not about us.’

It’s about bettering the world,” he said. “Our goal is to lead them to what their faith calls them to do.”

One way to engage students in the Holy Week celebration is through skits and other activities, said Larry White, principal at St. Mary Nativity School in Joliet.

St. Mary Nativity is one of several Catholic schools that remain strongholds in the community. But keeping children engaged can be a challenge, as is the case at St. Mary and elsewhere, White said.

“Times are different. We have more challenges these days,” he said. “But our goal at this school is to build character. And we do that by building up their faith.”

Aunt charged with aiding in convict’s escape The ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO – An aunt of a convicted murderer who was captured in Chicago after a nearly three-day manhunt was charged Saturday with giving her nephew information that helped him escape from an eastern Illinois jail where she had once worked.

Authorities say Kamron T. Taylor escaped Wednesday from the Jerome Combs Detention Center in Kankakee by beating and choking a guard into un- Kamron consciousness T. Taylor and stealing his uniform, keys and SUV. He was captured Friday night.

His aunt Tonya Grant, who was once a guard at the jail, was charged Saturday with obstructing justice and aiding in the escape of an inmate, according to Kankakee County Sheriff’s Chief Deputy Ken McCabe. Grant, 50, is accused

of giving Taylor confidential security information about the detention center during a jail visit with her nephew.

The Daily Journal in Kankakee first reported the allegations against Grant.

It was not immediately clear whether she already had an attorney who could comment on the allegations. Her bond was set at $150,000.

Taylor is being held on weapons c h a r g e s u ntil he can be turned over to the Kankakee County Sheriff’s Office, Tonya Chicago police Grant said.

Taylor fled on foot as Chicago police officers responding to a call of a suspicious person approached him in the South Side neighborhood of Calumet Heights Friday night. Officers caught up with him after a few blocks and found him with a loaded handgun.

“I think I can speak for ...

everyone who’s been involved: tired, I guess is the word,” Kankakee County Sheriff Timothy Bukowski told reporters Saturday in summing up the frenzied search for Taylor.

Taylor, 23, escaped after attacking a guard making 3 a.m. rounds. Wearing the guard’s uniform, Taylor fooled officers in a master control room into buzzing him through three security doors before driving off. He ditched the SUV a few miles away. Authorities haven’t pieced together how he got to Chicago, but they say he does have connections to the area.

Taylor was awaiting sentencing for shooting 21-yearold Nelson Williams Jr. in the head during a June 2013 robbery attempt on his front porch. He also made a run for it moments after hearing the guilty verdict in his February murder trial, as well as when he was first arrested for the killing.

He will certainly face additional charges, possibly including attempted murder for

the attack on the guard, Bukowski said.

“We ... believe that Taylor believed that he had killed the correctional officer by strangling him,” the sheriff said.

Investigators are still trying to determine exactly how

security broke down at the decade-old jail, where budget cuts had recently reduced staff numbers. Remaining personnel were forced to work double shifts in a change that did not go unnoticed by the 450 inmates, the sheriff said.

CHICAGO – Late one Saturday night, Rob Sampson had a confrontation with his 15-yearold daughter about marijuana.

But it was his daughter doing the confronting and it was Sampson defending the drug.

Sampson and his wife, after a long night of polishing his new company’s applications to grow medical cannabis, returned to their suburban Chicago home to find their daughter waiting up. They hadn’t yet told her their business plans.

“She said, ‘What is going on?’ ” Sampson recalled. “ ‘I know something’s going on and you guys aren’t telling me.’ ” That’s when they had The Talk: a conversation Sampson and his three partners in Chicago-based Cresco Labs have repeated with parents, in-laws and co-workers to explain why they are switching livelihoods and risking millions of dollars to follow the promise of medical marijuana.

Cresco Labs is poised to become the state’s largest marijuana grower. It won three cultivation permits, more than any other company. But the risks are daunting. Illinois’ marijuana pilot program expires at the end of 2017 unless state lawmakers extend it. Far fewer patients have signed up than projected; only 2,000 have been approved at last count. Some Illinois doctors are skeptical.

What’s more, Cresco is a defendant in two lawsuits filed by unsuccessful applicants. Cresco plans to build 40,000-square-foot growing facilities in Joliet, Kankakee and Lincoln, but the litigation could delay construction.

The cannabis industry isn’t an opportunity for easy money, as some might believe, said Michael Elliott of the Marijuana Industry Group, a Colorado trade group.

“A lot of businesses have failed in Colorado,” Elliott said. “Everyone who got into it found it to be 10 times more complicated than they initially thought. And I imagine that’s going to be true in Illinois as well.”

Cresco Labs’ four founding partners are accustomed to high stakes.

Businessmen follow promise of medical marijuana

Dominic Sergi (from left), Rob Sampson, Joe Caltabiano, and Charles Bachtell look over the plans Tuesday for a Lincoln medical marijuana growing facility from the offices of Cresco Labs, a medical marijuana cultivations company based in Chicago. Cresco Labs is poised to become the state’s largest marijuana grower. It won three cultivation permits, more than any other company.

Dominic Sergi, the youngest at age 31, started his own real estate company, Clear Height Properties, in his 20s. Joe Caltabiano, Charles Bachtell and Sampson weathered the mortgage crisis in prominent positions at Chicago-based Guaranteed Rate, the largest independent retail mortgage company in the nation.

Caltabiano, a star in his field, will continue making mortgage loans. But Bachtell, a 36-year-old attorney who has been Guaranteed Rate’s general counsel, and Sampson, its 40-year-old chief operating officer, are leaving the mortgage giant to work on medical marijuana full time.

“Our departure is surprising a lot of people,” Bachtell said.

Walking through their high-ceilinged headquarters in a River North brick-andtimber loft and settling around a conference room table, they readily agree their new venture presents their biggest ca-

reer gamble yet.

Caltabiano, 37, is a survivor of childhood leukemia to which he credits his “carpe diem attitude.” He directly benefited from collaborative oncology research that, over several decades, has hugely improved survival for children with cancer. Remaining involved in follow-up research, he’s quizzed oncologists about medical cannabis. They’ve told him they recommend it to ease nausea and other cancer treatment side effects.

“You have some of the smartest people in the world recommending a product that’s a Schedule I narcotic the federal government has deemed has no medical benefit,” Caltabiano said. “It got me thinking.”

Cresco Labs’ applications scored highest in the state’s selection process, not only in the three districts where Cresco competed, but compared to scores across the state. The partners credit their edge to consulting with a reputable

Denver cannabis company, wooing local support and winning bonus points by promising to contribute 10 percent of net profits to charities.

Michael Mayes, CEO of Quantum 9, a Chicago-based marijuana industry consul-

tant, predicted Cresco Labs will survive the bumps and the litigation.

“They’re definitely one of the largest players in Illinois,” Mayes said. “With three licenses, there’s plenty to focus on. They’ll be just fine.”

FRANK J. LAURO

Born: May 4, 1943; in Astoria, NY Died: March 23, 2015; in Tierra Verde, FL Frank J. Lauro, 71, passed away at his home in Tierra Verde, Florida, on March 23, 2015, with his beloved wife and daughter at his side.

Born in Astoria, New York, on May 4, 1943, Frank grew up an avid Yankee fan. He proudly served his country as a Marine, and loved to tell the story of being billed for “damage to government property” for breaking his ankle. He met his beautiful wife Kathleen (Sisk) while working at Union Carbide. He later worked in the Electro-Motive Division of General Motors.

Frank and Kathleen were married on June 17, 1967. They rejoiced at the births of their children, Frank Andrew (1970) and Karen Elaine (1974). They relocated to Illinois in 1974 to give their children the blessing of a home and community. Frank was a phenomenal father not only to his own children, but also to their friends. His indomitable humor and compassion balanced his high expectations of respectful behavior. He also loved wearing the craziest patterned pants he could possibly find.

Deeply dedicated to his community, Frank became a civic leader in Romeoville, IL; first through the Jaycees, then through the Romeoville Chamber of Commerce and various roles in local and county government, always with the utmost integrity. He was the long-standing emcee of the Miss Romeoville Pageant and was deeply involved with the Operation Christmas program and annual telethon, helping Romeoville help its needy families. He was a smooth tenor and often sang at the telethons and karaoke nights. Frank was elected as a Romeoville Village Board Trustee before going on to become the Village Manager.

He loved his village, but vehemently hated shoveling snow. After one very bad winter, Frank and Kathleen ditched the snow for their dream retirement home in Tierra Verde, FL,

in 1995. Retirement did not last, as Frank quickly became involved in the Tierra Verde Homeowners’ Association and went on to serve as the HOA Administrator.

The arrival of his beloved granddaughter, Kathleen Noelle, brought Frank unbridled joy. He adored being her “Papi.” From his daughter’s marriage to her best friend, Andrew (who was always his favorite) Frank also gained a “bonus” granddaughter, Andrea Eileen. Frank’s intelligence, sparkling wit, and deep love for his family, friends, and community will be sorely missed.

Frank was preceded in death by his mother, Marion; sister-in-law, Elaine Salmon; and son, Frank A. Lauro.

He is survived by his wife, Kathleen; daughter, Karen Eckhart; son-in-law, Andrew Eckhart; granddaughters, Kathleen and Andrea Eckhart; and countless friends.

A celebration of life will be held on Wednesday, April 8, from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. at the First Church of Lombard, 220 South Main Street, Lombard, IL. A second service will be held in Tierra Verde, FL, at a date TBD.

SAFETY AWARD CEREMONY

Michael Wesa (left) and Todd Hornsby (right) of MKD Electric received the Gold and Meritorious Performance Awards from Americas Styrenics representative Jon Timbers.

Manufacturers in Will and Grundy Counties, and the independent contractors who work at their plants, continued to significantly drive down worker injury rates in 2014, says Jeff White, VP, U.S. Operations, Aux Sable Liquid Products and chairman of Three Rivers Manufacturers’ Association (TRMA). Congratulations to all for a job well done.

“We are very pleased to report that contractors worked over 5.5 million hours in 2014 and recorded an OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) incidence rate of 0.28 (per 100 workers). In fact, the TRMA incidence rate this year is roughly one-third the rate of 10 years ago,” White said.

This also compares to much higher injury rates for U.S. industry sectors in general. Per OSHA statistics for 2013, the latest available, the rates were 4.2 for specialty trade contractors; 4.0 for manufacturing; 2.0 for chemical Lasky of Scheck Mechanical received manufacturing; and 0.9 for petroleum Joe the Meritorious Performance Award ExxonMobil representative Meena refineries. “TRMA members and contractors from Nainan. consistently outperform these sectors when it comes to the safety and welfare of the workforce,” White said.

Rauner suspends $26 million in Illinois health, other money

SPRINGFIELD – Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner suspended $26 million in social services and public health grants as part of his push to whittle away at a $1.6 billion shortfall in the current state budget.

The Republican’s office released a list of targeted programs late Friday that included funding to pay for the funerals and burials of public-assistance recipients, smoking cessation, teen programs, autism and HIV and AIDS programs, among other things.

Rauner also froze $3.4 million in funding for immigrant integration assistance as part of ongoing efforts to keep the state rolling through the June 30 end of the fiscal year.

Rauner’s office said the check-writing halt – he also interrupted $180 million in parkland grants in March – is necessary because the expenditures were based on the assumption a temporary income tax would be extended past January, but it wasn’t after Rauner won the election.

Mary Lincoln’s fan, made of ivory, silk and ostrich plumes – which she carried on the night her husband, President Abraham Lincoln, was assassinated – is displayed Thursday at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Museum in Springfield.

The university’s Institute of Government and Public Affairs said Friday that its Flash Index hit 107 in March. Any reading above 100 indicates growth in the state’s economy. Readings below 100 indicate contraction.

Fred Giertz is the economist who compiles the index. He said the strong reading reflects in part the continued improvement in the state’s unemployment picture. Unemployment in March was 6 percent. That’s its lowest level in almost seven years.

The index has hovered below 107 for more than a year.

SPRINGFIELD – The spring trout fishing season is opening at streams, lakes and ponds across Illinois.

The Illinois Department of

Natural Resources says three new fishing areas are open for rainbow trout fishing beginning Saturday. That brings the total number of sites to 46.

The department stocks the bodies of water where trout fishing is allowed with more than 80,000 rainbow trout each year. The daily catch limit is five trout an angler.

Anglers are required to have a fishing license and an Inland Trout Stamp, unless they are an Illinois resident on leave from active military duty, under age 16, blind or disabled.

The program is funded exclusively through the sale of Inland Trout Stamps.

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS Special ops troops doubt women can do job

WASHINGTON – Surveys find men in U.S. special operations forces do not believe women can meet the physical and mental demands of their commando jobs, and they fear the Pentagon will lower standards to integrate women into their elite units, according to interviews and documents obtained

by The Associated Press.

Studies that surveyed personnel found “major misconceptions” within special operations about whether womenshould be brought into the male-only jobs.

They also revealed concerns that department leaders would “capitulate to political pressure, allowing erosion of training standards,” according to one document.

Some of those concerns were not limited to men, researchers found, but also were found among women in special operations jobs.

Short total lunar eclipse dazzles skywatchers

LOS ANGELES – The total eclipse of the moon lasted only a short time, but it still dazzled.

Early risers in the western U.S. and Canada should have been able to catch a glimpse before dawn Saturday. The moment when the moon was completely obscured

by Earth’s shadow lasted several minutes, making it the shortest lunar eclipse of the century.

Some skygazers complained that clouds prevented them

from seeing any of the 3½-hour lunar show. The total eclipse was unusually brief because the moon passed through the upper part of Earth’s shadow.

Mormons outline support for man-woman marriage

SALT LAKE CITY – Mormon leaders vowed to be a leading advocate for the belief that marriage is an institution exclusive to a man and a woman during the religion’s biannual conference Saturday that also included two rare events.

The first came when the conference kicked off without the usual welcoming address from church President Thomas S. Monson, 87, who days earlier also missed a meeting with President Barack Obama while he was in Utah.

Monson, who was still present at conference and walked in on his own, skipped the speech as part of a decision to reduce the number of speeches he’s giving this weekend, church officials said. He was scheduled to speak later this weekend.

The second unusual event occurred when five people stood up and yelled, “Opposed,” during a part of the conference when attendees usually raise their hands in unison in a vote of support for church leadership, drawing some gasps by surprised attendees who hadn’t seen this kind of act for decades.

They represented only a handful of the 20,000 in attendance.

Francis walked in the dark down an utterly silent St. Peter’s Basilica at the start of the vigil Mass, which precedes the joyous celebration on Easter Sunday commemorating Christ’s resurrection after his crucifixion.

In his homily, Francis said the Easter mystery requires the faithful to seek an answer “to the questions which challenge our faith, our fidelity, and our very existence.”

During the late-night service, 10 people from Italy, Portugal, Albania, Kenya and Cambodia were being baptized.

On Friday, during the Via Crucis procession at Rome’s Colosseum, Francis denounced the “complicit

The ASSOCIATED PRESS

Francis has voiced increasing alarm about the attacks, which have led Christians to abandon communities in the Mideast that have existed since Jesus’ time. He is likely to refer to those concerns during his “Urbi et Orbi” message Easter Sunday.

GARISSA, Kenya – Somalia’s Islamic extremist group al-Shabab warned Saturday of more attacks in Kenya like the assault on Garissa University College that killed 148 people.

“Kenyan cities will run red with blood,” said al-Shabab according to the SITE intelligence monitoring group.

The Islamic militants said the attack on Garissa college was in retaliation for killings carried out by Kenyan troops fighting the rebels in Somalia.

“No amount of precaution or safety measures will be able to guarantee your safety, thwart another attack or prevent another bloodbath,” said al-Shabab.

After the extremists’ threats, Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta vowed to take harsh measures against the Islamic militants. In a nationally televised address, Kenyatta said his administration “shall respond in the severest ways possible”

to the Garissa attack, which occurred Thursday when four gunmen entered a campus and slaughtered students. The military moved in hours later and the gunmen were killed.

Kenyatta said the country’s “security forces are pursuing the remaining accomplices. We will bring all of them to justice ... We are also in active pursuit of the mastermind (of the Garissa attack) and have placed a reward for his capture,” said Kenyatta, who declared three days of national mourning.

Five people have been arrested on suspicion of involvement in the Garissa attack, a Kenyan official said.

Kenyan security agencies arrested three people trying to cross into Somalia, said Interior Ministry spokesman Mwenda Njoka in a Twitter post. He said the three are associates of Mohamed Mohamud, also known as Dulyadin Gamadhere, a former teacher at a Kenyan Madrassa Islamic school who authorities say coordinated the Garissa attack.

Losing the double chin, gaining money Dear Mr. Berko: What are your thoughts on Kythera Biopharmaceuticals? My family doctor, a brilliant clinician, told me Kythera has an injectable that will eliminate my double chin, to be available early next year. I’d like to invest $10,000 if you believe that this company has a chance for success. – JF, Vancouver, Washington Dear JF: My dad used to say, “If you want to avoid egg on your face, don’t slap a man who is chewing tobacco and never purchase a stock without foreseeable future earnings.” That advice, from more than 50 years ago, still stands.

Kythera Biopharmaceuticals (KYTH-$51.20) is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focusing on the discovery, development and commercialization of aesthetic medicine. Its most talked-about development is the one you mentioned, an injectable that reduces submental fat, more commonly known as the double chin

or twin chins. The injectable, ATX-101, is a patented formulation of deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring substance in our bodies that’s important in breaking down body fat.

KYTH’s formulation has gone through 19 clinical studies, covering 2,600 patients, and has been under development for eight years. In a 2014 study (probably paid for by Kythera), the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery reported that nearly 7 in 10 Americans are “bothered by submental fullness” and that twin chins are a “much-cited yet undertreated ... aesthetic complaint.”

Well, so are bromhidrosis, hyperhidrosis, halitosis and alopecia. Kythera, domiciled in California, should have several members of Congress obliquely positioned on its payroll, lobbying Medicare to pay for this nonsurgical cure for twin chins. And I’d not be surprised if ATX-101 were also to be approved by Medicaid, because we have the best congressmen money can buy.

While speaking with

TAKING STOCK Malcolm Berko someone who is knowledgeable about KYTH, I was told management believes that it has a workable oral prescription for the treatment of male-pattern baldness. The potion is called setipiprant.

It’s a clinical-stage antagonist that inhibits prostaglandin D2 ethanolamide lipids, which are prominent on the scalps of bald men and believed to be mainly responsible for hair loss. Test results have been impressive, but setipiprant won’t become marketable until 2020. Although setipiprant is considered benign, please understand that the bureaucratic Food and Drug Administration must take years to approve things to justify its 15,100 employees and its $5.6 billion budget. It took the FDA 47 months to approve baby aspirin. If this potion is as effective as many believe, setipiprant (or whatever

LyondellBasell teams with United Way for campaign

MORRIS – LyondellBasell and its employees from the Morris Complex raised $100,000 for the United Way of Grundy County, United Way of Eastern LaSalle and United Way of Will County during its recently completed 2014-15 campaign, including $50,000 in employee contributions along with the company match.

Supporting the United Way is an integral part of LyondellBasell’s commitment of giving back to the communities in which it operates, according to a news release.

Every year, money raised by the company’s campaign benefits thousands of programs, which depend upon local United Way chapters for funding, across the country that people in need rely upon.

commercial name is used) will become a blockbuster among blockbuster drugs.

The FDA’s advisory panel voted to approve Kythera’s injectable for twin chins, and if the drug receives the FDA’s final approval (advisory panel recommendations aren’t binding), the drug could be ready for commercialization late this year. Some observers who have been following this situation believe that ATX-101 will generate revenues of $300 million a year until all the double chins in the U.S. are gone. KYTH has also filed for approval in Canada, Switzerland and Australia.

I’m not impressed by a company with no product on the market and zero near-term earnings on the horizon. However, KYTH’s exceptional board of directors is an impressive and impeccable group of professionals who are experienced in the development and commercialization of aesthetic medicines.

KYTH may not have revenues or earnings this year, and the company burns through

money like fire on dry timber, but fortunately, a secondary offering of 2.5 million shares last March put $125 million in the bank, although that deposit has burned down to about $99 million. KYTH has 23 million shares outstanding, multimillion-dollar carryforward losses and a market cap of nearly $1 billion.

I avoid biopharmaceuticals with numbers like KYTH’s, because they usually peter out and shareholders end up with egg on their faces. But if you can afford the risk, go ahead and make a $10,000 (200 shares) investment. Fidelity Select Biotechnology Portfolio and Fidelity OTC Portfolio own 1.3 million shares each.

Wall Street has a 12-month high price target of $85 and a low price target of $50, and the shares are trading a notch higher than the low price target.

EASTER PASSAGE

Christians celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Note to readers: On Easter Sunday, we reprint this passage from the Gospel of John, Chapter 20 (English Standard Version.)

Now on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene came to the tomb early, while it was still dark, and saw that the stone had been taken away from the tomb.

So she ran and went to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one whom Jesus loved, and said to them, “They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid him.”

So Peter went out with the other disciple, and they were going toward the tomb. Both of them were running together, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first.

And stooping to look in, he saw the linen cloths lying there, but he did not go in.

Then Simon Peter came, fol-

lowing him, and went into the tomb. He saw the linen cloths lying there, and the face cloth, which had been on Jesus’ head, not lying with the linen cloths but folded up in a place by itself.

Then the other disciple, who had reached the tomb first, also went in, and he saw and believed; for as yet they did not understand the Scripture, that he must rise from the dead.

Then the disciples went back to their homes.

Jesus appears to Mary Magdalene But Mary stood weeping outside the tomb, and as she wept she stooped to look into the tomb. And she saw two angels in white, sitting where the body of Jesus had lain, one at the head and one at the feet. They said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping?”

She said to them, “They have taken away my Lord, and I

do not know where they have laid him.”

Having said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing, but she did not know that it was Jesus. Jesus said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking?”

Supposing him to be the gardener, she said to him, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have laid him, and I will take him away.” Jesus said to her, “Mary.” She turned and said to him in Aramaic, “Rabboni!” (which means Teacher).

Jesus said to her, “Do not cling to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to my brothers and say to them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’ ” Mary Magdalene went and announced to the disciples, “I have seen the Lord” – and that he had said these things

to her.

Jesus appears to the disciples On the evening of that day, the first day of the week, the doors being locked where the disciples were for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said to them, “Peace be with you.”

When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side. Then the disciples were glad when they saw the Lord.

Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, even so I am sending you.” And when he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you withhold forgiveness from any, it is withheld.”

Jesus and Thomas

Now Thomas, one of the Twelve, called the Twin, was

not with them when Jesus came. So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord.”

But he said to them, “Unless I see in his hands the mark of the nails, and place my finger into the mark of the nails, and place my hand into his side, I will never believe.”

Eight days later, his disciples were inside again, and Thomas was with them.

Although the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you.”

Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here, and see my hands; and put out your hand, and place it in my side.

Do not disbelieve, but believe.” Thomas answered him, “My Lord and my God!” Jesus said to him, “Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”

It’s not a matter of perspective in Ind. Indiana Gov. Mike Pence is one of those people who can make something seem like what it isn’t.

The Religious Freedom Restoration Act, which he signed in a behind-closed-doors ceremony out of view of the press March 26, led to a week of controversy and protests.

Pence, to calm the firestorm, decided to both write an op-ed in The Wall Street Journal and appear on ABC’s “This Week with George Stephanopolous.”

But that did not stop home-state companies like Eli Lilly and Co. and Anthem, two of Indiana’s largest employers, from condemning the new law and calling for an immediate fix.

The NCAA, headquartered in Indianapolis, is hosting the men’s 2015 Final Four basketball games in the Indiana capital. The organization expressed concern about what effect the law will have on its core values of diversity and inclusion after the law goes into effect in July. President Mark Emmert posed the question the NCAA will seek to answer moving forward: “What relationship do we want with Indiana?”

So what is a governor embroiled in a major national scandal to do?

Pence decided to hold a news conference Tuesday to inform fellow Hoosiers and the rest of America that the state’s recently passed RFRA was not a license to refuse service to anyone. And, he repeatedly said, the bill in no manner allows discrimination and didn’t need a fix. But ... that he would fix the law to clarify it.

Well, we know what’s next, right? Talk is cheap.

Pence defended the law he signed out of view of the press by claiming it “simply mirrors” federal legislation that President Bill Clinton signed in 1993.

Pence’s comparison is true only if you’re looking at a carnival house mirror.

The federal law is much more narrowly drawn than Indiana’s “religious freedom” act. Indiana’s RFRA stipulates that any “person” (defined as

VIEWS Donna Brazile any individual, organization, company, corporation, firm, church, religious society or other entity) whose “exercise of religion has been substantially burdened, or is likely to be substantially burdened” can use the law as “a claim or defense – regardless of whether the state or any other governmental entity is a party to the proceeding.” In all other RFRAs at the federal or state level (there are 19 others), the law applies to a person or entity and the government, not disputes between private entities.

That is a major, significant difference. Under Indiana’s law, a business owner can claim an “undue burden” on the practice of his or her faith if compelled to deliver a service, like cakes to a gay wedding.

Pence left out an important issue: Indiana has no nondiscrimination state law against gays. Indiana’s House Speaker, Brian Bosma, R-Indianapolis, acknowledged that business owners throughout most of Indiana can legally put up “No Gays Allowed” signs – the exception being four cities and two counties with local laws that prohibit discrimination.

That there are no such signs is a tribute to the citizens of Indiana. Yet, the absence of a non-discrimination law protecting gays gives exceptional power to its “religious freedom” law.

This is where Pence got slick in his news conference.

Yes, the “religious freedom” law does not specifically grant anyone a right to discriminate. But, in the absence of a nondiscrimination law, the act is a green light to discriminate under the cover of so-called religious freedom.

During Pence’s news conference, he said, “I abhor discrimination.” His history, however, demonstrates Pence’s

idea of nondiscrimination ends where gay rights begin. Pence was quoted in The Atlantic in 2011 as saying the federal Employment Non-Discrimination Act “wages war on freedom of religion in the workplace.” So, it is his opinion that it’s OK to not hire gays if it that offends your religion.

When presented with a similar RFRA law passed in the Arkansas General Assembly – also lacking non-discrimination clauses – Republican Gov. Asa Hutchinson stated in an April 1 press conference that he would not sign the bill in its current form.

However, if a national firestorm were not underway over the Indiana law, Hutchinson might have felt different about signing his state’s RFRA. In February, he allowed the automatic passage without his signature of a law that forbids local governments in Arkansas from passing nondiscrimination ordinances for LGBT residents.

Reflecting the evolving nature of this story, on the morning a day after Pence’s initial news conference, draft language from Indiana Republican legislators was already being distributed to him that, according to The Indianapolis Star, “would specify that the new religious freedom law cannot be used as a legal defense to discriminate against residents based on their sexual orientation.”

While this does not constitute a statewide nondiscrimination law to protect people based on their sexual orientation or identity – the ultimate goal of civil rights advocates – Hoosiers and Americans nationwide will continue to follow this story and use the threat of economic boycotts to uphold basic human dignity.

WJOL/DON LADAS MEMORIAL TOURNAMENT

JCA, Providence battle in extra innings Rivals square off in wild title game

By DICK GOSS dgoss@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The Joliet Catholic-Providence baseball rivalry was out in force Saturday night in the championship game of the WJOL/Don Ladas Memorial Tournament at Silver Cross Field.

JCA scored six runs in the bottom of the seventh inning, with KC Simonich’s two-run double getting the Hilltoppers within 12-11 and Drake Fellows’ RBI single tying it at 12all and forcing extra innings at Herald-News press time.

JCA (5-0) rallied from a 3-0 deficit to tie the score in the bottom of the second and scored three times in the fourth to get back within 8-6.

But Providence (7-0) kept socring against an array of Hilltopper pitchers and built the 12-6 lead entering the bottom of the seventh.

The Celtics had 14 hits, received eight walks and had two batters hit by pitches throughn seven innings.

Hilltoppers paraded George Manikas, Jared Jones, Danny Belling, Mike Dow and Alex Ragusa to the mound to attempt to stemthe tide.

JCA was without standout catcher Nick Dalesandro, who was ejected in the 16-0 semifinal victory over Plainfield Central and thus was ineligible to play in the title game.

Noah O’Brien started for Providence and worked 3⅔ innings before being relieved by Reed McCool.

O’Brien allowed six runs, three earned, on six hits and one walk.

Matt Diehl had three hits and Jackson Stulas and Justin Hunnfirod added two apiece for the Celtics. Jimmy Jeffries and Diehl had doubles.

For JCA, Howard had two singles and a double, Quiram two hits and Max Brzostowski

THIRD PLACE

Joliet West coach John Karczewski called it “a little bittersweet.”

Tigerts senior left-hander Nick Marconi and senior right-hander Mike Wolz combined to shut out Plainfield Central, 3-0. However, the Tigers still were bummed after they came so close in the

semifinals, when Providence scored a run in the bottom of the seventh inning to force extra innings and won in eight, 2-1.

“We gave up one earned run the whole tournament,” Karczewski noted. “We had four seniors who pitched.

They work hard. I’m proud of them. Now we have to give them more support. We have to start doing is hitting the

ball consistently, scoring runners from third.”

“All my pitches were working,” Marconi said. “I didn’t strike out many, but our defense was great.”

Right fielder Diontae Tucker ended the game on a double play when he caught a fly ball in right-center and threw out the runner returning to first.

West turned two walks into first-inning runs on a Blake Tomac double and a Nick Frausto single off Wildcats starter Jimmy Layne. The Tigers added an unearned run in the third.

Central outhit West, 7-5, with Zack Houghton getting three hits and Danny Bran-

don two.

“We outhit them but did not have anybody reach second base until the sixth inning,” Central coach John Rosner said. “We played pretty well defensively, but we didn’t turn two double plays we should have, and the two early walks scored.”

FIFTH PLACE

Lockport left-hander Austin Moralis blanked Lincoln-Way West on two hits through five innings, but everything changed in the sixth, when the Warriors scored six times on six hits en route to a 6-4 victory.

Joliet West, Plainfield Central fall in semifinal games • BASEBALL Continued from page 48 “You get all your hits together in one inning, it’s not a bad deal,” West coach Jake Zajc said. “They jumped on us early. I was glad we were able to halt it toward the end.

“It was a good learning experience to play against a team like Lockport in this atmosphere and on this field.”

Ben Zordani, Ben Magruder, Tyler Dallio and Noah Hibler had run-scoring singles in the sixth inning for West (7-1), Stace Starcevich got his third hit of the game, Adam Knerr chipped in a sacrifice fly and the other run scored on a balk.

“The sixth inning never would have come into play if we hadn’t left the bases loaded in the first and hadn’t had the three baserunning mistakes,” Lockport coach Andy Satunas said. “Then in the sixth, they kept getting hits, and we didn’t make the plays. They finished.

“That’s how we have been so far. We’re consistently inconsistent.”

Lockport (4-3) finished with 10 hits. Tyler Nassar, Davis Purviance and Stephen Hill had two hits. Hill doubled.

Patrick Rumsey had two hits for the Indians. Juan Cisneros and Ivan Arriaga had the hits for Central, which received a strong pitching effort from Jeremy Kolberg. He allowed three hits through five innings and was helped by three early infield double plays and by shortstop Luke DeBenedetti’s superb play in the hole in the fifth inning.

CHAMPIONSHIP SEMIFINALS Providence 2, Joliet West 1: Jackson Dvorak’s walkoff

single ended an eight-inning thriller as Providence slipped past Joliet West to advance to the title game.

West senior right-hander Griffin McGuire was outdueling Providence senior righthander Justin Hunniford. Joliet West had scored the run on an errant pickoff throw from Hunniford, scoring Cody Grosse in the third inning.

Grosse finished 3 for 4.

McGuire entered the seventh working on a one-hit shutout, a leadoff bunt sinSEVENTH PLACE gle by Jackson Stulas in the Brad Van Asdlen pitched first. Matt Diehl’s fly ball was a complete-game two-hitter, dropped, and Diehl hustled

all the way to third. Brendan O’Hara followed with a hard single, knocking in the tying run.

Providence winning pitcher Brent Villasenor (2-0), who struck out three of the six he faced in relief, completed his second 1-2-3 inning in the eighth. Hunniford allowed an unearned run on four hits in six innings.

“My fastball was really working,” Villasenor said.

“Huge to come back the way we did. It was the first time we faced adversity and really came through.”

In the eighth, Zach Pych singled, Mike Madej walked and Dvorak, fresh off a two-homer, six-RBI game against Minooka in Wednesday’s quarterfinal, ripped the winner off reliever Matt Meier.

“I’ve been seeing the ball really well lately,” Dvorak said.

“Its a shame. Griff gave it everything he had against the defending state champs,” Karczewski said. “He’s a real fighter. We had some opportunities to score more runs that ended up costing us.”

“It was a good high school baseball game,” Providence coach Mark Smith said. “Griff McGuire was outstanding for West and Justin (Hunniford) was just as outstanding. I can’t say enough about Jackson Dvorak right now.”

JCA 16, Plainfield Central 0: outs tied it at 4, Jake Huber

Drake Fellows hit a three-run homer and Mitch Boe led off the game with a home run as JCA rolled into the title game.

Boe also had a single and hit two long flyballs that were misplayed and landed behind the center fielder, one going for three bases and the other for two. If those are scored hits, the leadoff man hit for the cycle.

“Boe’s homer really set the tone,” JCA coach Jared Voss said.

Mike Quiram and Dan Devine finished with two hits for the Hilltopppers. Devine replaced Dalesandro in the second inning when Dalesandro was ejected for questioning a strike call.

All the offense JCA mustered made life comfortable for senior right-hander Danny Ehrsam. He allowed tow hits, hit a batter and and struck out six.

“All three pitches were working well,” Ehrsam said.

“I just try to put the ball where I want it and let our defense make plays. That’s what we’re all about.”

“Their pitcher kept our hitters off balance. We had too many flyouts up until the last inning.”

“Alec [Holcombe] was throwing great,” Central coach Kevin Fitzgerald said.

“In the end, we had more firepower.”

For now, Roark will bolster Nationals’ pen VIEWS Dick Goss The Washington Nationals are out to win it all. Good for them. Maybe not so good from a personal standpoint for Wilmington graduate Tanner Roark.

When the Nationals signed pitcher Max Scherzer to a seven-year deal this offseason, baseball experts everywhere agreed Washington would begin the new season with the best starting staff in the game, with Jordan Zimmermann, Steven Strasburg, Doug Fister and Gio Gonzalez in the other four slots.

So where does that leave Roark, the right-hander who was so good for Washington in 2014? For now at least, in the bullpen.

Pitchers can start or relieve, but that is an oversimplification. When you are pitching out of the bullpen, you usually have a role. If that role is long relief, the frequency of your appearances, and the length of those appearances, can be inconsistent. Some pitchers are not bothered by that sort of schedule, others suffer.

Last season, Roark was 1510 with a 2.85 ERA in nearly 200 innings as a starter. Opponents hit .237 against him. An argument can be made he was the Nationals’ best starter.

From a statistical standpoint, Roark has not had the best of springs this year.

But he does have experience relieving as well as starting in his professional career.

Hopefully he can prosper in whatever relief role the Nationals have in mind, and as a starter when he gets that opportunity again. Rare is the team that goes through a season without injury to some of its starting pitching, and Roark could be the first choice to fill in if and when someone goes down.

Left-hander Tony Cingrani (Lincoln-Way Central) is in a similar situation with the Cincinnati Reds. Cingrani was 7-4 with a 2.92 ERA two years ago, when he made 18 starts and five relief appearances. Last season, injuries took their toll

Washington Nationals pitcher Jordan Zimmermann (center) and Wilmington graduate Tanner Roark (right) run through a drill with fellow pitchers at a spring training baseball workout Feb. 22 in Viera, Fla. Roark will begin this season pitching out of the Washington Nationals bullpen. Last year as a starter, he went 15-10 with a 2.85 ERA. and he finished 2-8 with a 4.55 ERA in 13 appearances, 11 of which were starts. He did not pitch in the majors or minors the last several months of the season.

Midway through this spring training, the Reds said they were revamping their rotation and moving to Cingrani to the bullpen. The thinking reportedly was he had a better chance to stay healthy in that role, and the Reds needed to bolster their middle relief.

Much like with Roark, Cingrani probably would benefit if his bullpen role is somewhat consistent. But unless you’re the closer or the eighth-inning setup man, consistency out of the bullpen is difficult to come by.

Baseball is a long season, to be sure. Things happen.

Roark and/or Cingrani may return to their team’s starting rotation at some point. For now, however, starting games

is not their job.

DOWN IN ATLANTA

In Friday’s column, we discussed outfielder Joe Benson (JCA) bidding to make the Atlanta Braves’ opening-day roster as a spare outfielder. That column was written Thursday. Later that day, Benson was designated a spring nonroster invitee, making it appear more likely he could stick with the Braves.

That night, the day after he homered and hit a long flyout against Philadelphia’s Cole Hamels, he helped his cause further, going 4 for 5, including a walkoff single, in a 6-5 win over Baltimore.

Whether Benson begins the season with the Braves or at Triple-A Gwinnett had not been determined as of this writing.

But right-hander Mike Foltynewicz (Minooka) will not be in Atlanta’s starting rotation.

Foltynewicz may begin the

season in the Braves’ bullpen but more likely will be in the starting rotation at Triple-A Gwinnett. The Braves acquired right-hander Trevor Cahill from Arizona late Thursday night, and he and lefty Eric Stults will round out their rotation.

MEET ME IN ST. LOUIS

Three former area standouts are in the St Louis Cardinals’ organization. Shortstop Dean Anna (Lincoln-Way East), who had a brief major league stint early last season with the Yankees, and pitcher Zach Petrick (Morris) should open the season at Triple-A Memphis. Left-hander Steve Sabatino (Lockport), who pitched at Notre Dame, should begin no lower than the A-Advanced level.

Elsewhere around the minors, White Sox right-hander Tony Bucciferro (Minooka) probably will open the season

at Double-A Birmingham. Boston first baseman Sam Travis (Providence) and Baltimore outfielder John Ruettiger (JCA) should be no lower than the A-Advanced level.

COLLEGE CREDIT

In 2014, the Joliet area sent three players to the outstanding program at LSU – catcher Mike Papierski (Lemont), and pitchers Jake Godfrey (Providence) and Jake Latz (Lemont). Papierski has seen part-time duty had four hits in his first 26 at-bats. Latz has had elbow issues and has not yet pitched.

Godfrey, meanwhile, has been solid. He entered the weekend 5-0 (LSU was 25-5) with a 3.21 ERA. In seven starts, he pitched 33⅔ innings and allowed 36 hits while walking 19 and striking out 20.

SOFTBALL: PROVIDENCE TOURNAMENT – MINOOKA 10, LOCKPORT 6

By CURT HERRON cherron@shawmedia.com

• Sunday, April 5, 2015

NEW LENOX – There didn’t seem like there was much that Alyssa Hajduk could do for an encore after pitching a two-hitter and striking out 24 batters in 12 innings to help her team advance to the title game of Saturday’s Providence Tournament.

But after the Minooka junior was handed the ball again in the top of the second with her team trailing, 5-0, to Lockport, all she did was allow only one run on three hits while striking out seven. In addition, she went 4 for 5 and drove in two runs while scoring two more.

With Hajduk as the catalyst, Minooka received hits from everyone in its lineup as it rallied from the early deficit to capture a 10-6 victory over the Porters.

The dramatic Saturday showing, which featured a walk-off homer from Steffanie Pershey in a semifinal win over the host Celtics, marked quite a turnaround for coach Mark Brown’s squad, which started the season with an 0-3 mark and now has won three straight.

“We battled, whether we were up by five or behind by five or it was tied in the 12th,” Brown said. “The girls were in it the whole tournament and really wanted this one and came out and got the job done. The mindset we have is there’s no such thing as a fiverun home run. Even though they scored five in the first, we felt there was plenty of game left.”

Hajjduk pulled her team to within 5-3 in the top of the fourth inning when she singled home Courtney Kurtz.

An inning later, she put her team ahead for good at 7-6 when she singled in Audrey Hanouw (2 for 4).

“I definitely had a long day, since I pitched 18 innings,” Hajduk said, “but I couldn’t have asked for a better ending and it was definitely worth fighting through. I knew what my job is and I think that my rise ball is my best pitch, and it gets me out of everything and I rely on that. And I rely

Minooka rallies past Lockport to win Providence tourney

Minooka rallied Saturday to claim a 10-6 victory over Providence to win the Providence Tournament championship. on my defense, too. They had my back the entire day and made plays for me and were constantly picking me up. My arm wasn’t stopping until the job was done.”

Lockport (3-1) advanced to the title game on a high note after Lindsey Schackle hit a walk-off homer in the seventh against Andrew.

Things couldn’t have started much better for coach Marissa Chovanec’s squad against the Indians.

The Porters had seven hits in their first inning as Elena Woulfe scored on a wild pitch and Zara Voulgaris came home on an error to start things off. Emily Dybas and Sidney Bottino added RBI singles and Gracie Voulgaris followed with a two-run double.

But with a lot of youngsters in the lineup, the Por-

“I definitely had a long day, since I pitched 18 innings, but I couldn’t have asked for a better ending ....”

Alyssa Hajduk Minooka junior pitcher

ters started to make some mistakes in the field and on the base paths, allowing Minooka to capitalize.

“We see them again on Wednesday, so when you see a team twice in a week, we made a decision about our pitchers,” said Chovanec, who opted not to use Justine Cielenski in the title game. “We have some young kids and, including six underclasmen up

on varsity, they’ve been doing a good job. It’s still early, so the kids will learn. It’s not how you start the season, it’s how you end it. That’s what we’re trying to teach them.”

Minooka scored its first run in the third when Emily Wielbik singled home Hajduk, and in the fourth, Hanouw drove in one run on an infield hit. Hajduk followed with an RBI single.

Lockport got a run back in the fifth when Halle Hollatz reached on an infield single, was sacrificed to second, took third on a single by Tara McElligott (2 for 4) and came home on a single by Bailee Moll (2 for 3).

But the Indians scored four times in their fifth as Pershey (2 for 4) scored on an error.

Hannah Krall (2 for 4) came in on a wild pitch, Hanouw dou-

bled in Kurtz and scored on a single by Hajduk.

Krall delivered an RBI double in the sixth and Minooka got a two-run homer from Shannon Stuchly in the seventh to cap the 15-hit attack.

“I’m very glad that we all didn’t give up,” Pershey said.

“We just got some good, clutch hits and strung some together to produce some runs. And once we got energy, that’s when all of our runs started scoring. We never give up, even if we’re down by a few runs. We cheer each other on and pick each other up when we fall down.”

Providence (1-4) settled for fourth place after falling to Andrew in its final game. In the semifinal with Minooka, Kendall Judge was the hardluck loser after striking out 22 batters.

GIRLS SOCCER: LINCOLN-WAY EAST 1, LOCKPORT 1

Lincoln-Way East, Lockport settle for draw

By CURT HERRON cherron@shawmedia.com LOCKPORT – The Lincoln-Way East and Lockport girls soccer teams had different goals as they headed into Saturday’s nonconference match.

The host Porters were looking to bounce back from a loss to Lincoln-Way Central two days earlier while the Griffins hoped to keep their season-long unbeaten streak intact.

While East put itself in a position to win for the eighth time this season, Lockport fought back and forced a 1-all draw, which allowed both squads to walk away feeling satisfied.

“We were a little motivated to come out strong and show that Thursday’s effort wasn’t a true Porter effort,” Lockport coach Todd Elkei said. “The

girls worked hard, connected and communicated. I thought they were talking to each other more and directing each other. It was good to see them executing some of the things that we’ve struggled on in the past.

“Lincoln-Way East is on an incredible run right now and [Lincoln-Way East coach Brian Papa] has them playing well and they’re scoring a lot of goals and we held them to one and limited a lot of their opportunities. I liked seeing how the girls responded and showed a competitive spirit when they were down 1-0 and that they weren’t going to quit. I also like how they all get along.”

The Porters (2-2-1) threatened around the midpoint of the final when Allyson Fischer’s sjpt was cleared by Lindsey Murphy and a bit later, Karlee Stortz was thwarted by goalkeeper Kimberly Sep-

er. Lockport evened things in the 68th minute when Brooke Janeczek sent in a corner kick which Seper tried to punch away but the ball curved into the net.

“It just kind of flew in due to the wind,” Janeczek said.

“I have a friend on their team, who’s the keeper, so I wanted to win so badly against her.

The Lincoln-Ways are all good teams, so I want to beat them.

Our communication has gotten a lot better and our possession just flowed. When they scored, it just made us want even more and our intensity turned up.”

The Griffins (7-0-2), who won their first seven before finishing in a draw Thursday against Joliet Central, threatened shortly after the break when Jessica Rajca sent a liner to keeper Cassidy Henson.

In the 48th minute, Stefani Cetera placed a ball in front of

the net on a corner kick and Rajca scored on a close-range attempt.

“At halftime, wed talked about where we needed to be on the field and what we needed to do to get to the goal and to just keep working like we were,” Rajca said. “We hadn’t had a day off lately, so yesterday we were able to rest and recover a little bit, since we were a little worn out. We work well together and we’re all good friends on and off the field.”

After seeing his squad play five times in six days, Papa was just happy to get through the rugged stretch without suffering any defeats.

“We’re starting to play against teams with fatigue and injuries setting in,” Papa said.

“When you play five games in six days, your body is going to take a toll, and I believe that’s what is happening. The game

against Joliet Central was more mental fatigue than anything else because we couldn’t connect passes and we were a step slow and today was the same.

“We were without two players and had to play kids who haven’t played a lot so everything was out of sync. We got the goal and we relaxed and made a mistake and they get one and it’s a tie score. I like how the girls are coachable, they listen and try to execute what the coaches ask, so they’re a pleasure to coach. We just need to get some practice in.”

The Porters suffered a blow about midway through the first half when Samantha Calderaro had to be helped off of the field.

Fischer and Meg Lesnefsky had their best early chances while East received good scoring opportunities from Cetera and Emily Scianna.

JOLIET – Senior Adam Panayotovich became the winningest pitcher in St. Francis baseball history as the Saints swept a twin bill from Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference rival Calumet College of St. Joseph on Friday at Silver Cross Field.

Panayotovich (7-1) went the distance as St. Francis took the seven-inning opener, 14-2.

After allowing six baserunners (four hits, two walks) in the first two innings, the right-hander held the Crimson Wave to three hits the rest of the way to record his 34th win of his career and surpass Jake Butler (2011-14) as USF’s all-time victories leader.

Kjeld Torkelson’s two-run single highlighted a three-run USF first inning.

Mike Chimera and Rick Faron delivered run-scoring singles as part of a four-run outburst in the second.

Faron doubled in two more runs in the third and capped his 4-for-4, four-RBI performance with another run-scoring double in the fifth.

Brandon Mendoza collected four RBIs in the nightcap to help lead St. Francis (14-18, 10-3) to a 9-2 win. His two-run single in the bottom of the fifth inning broke a 2-2 deadlock and put the Saints on top for good. Mendoza was 3 for 3 with a walk. Matt Scott finished the game 3 for 4 with two runs and an RBI. Cori Herbert scattered seven hits in 7⅓ innings to notch his second straight win (2-4). Dan Darling recorded the final five outs to preserve the victory.

On Saturday, St. Francis beat St.

Joseph, 14-1.

Mendoza went 4 for 4 to lead a 19hit Saints’ onslaught. Chimera was 3 for 5 on the day. Faron (2 for 3), Barkdull (3 for 3) and Torkelson each collected a pair of RBIs on the day.

Kevin Mampe (3-1) picked up the win, allowed eight hits and a pair of walks, while striking out three in seven innings.

NCAA MEN’S BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT – FINAL FOUR

Duke headed for another title game

By JIM O’CONNELL The Associated Press INDIANAPOLIS – Two star freshmen, a solid senior and some of the trademark defense Duke has long been known for have the Blue Devils back in the national championship game.

And in Indianapolis, no less.

Justise Winslow scored 19 points, fellow freshman Jahlil Okafor added 18 and senior Quinn Cook had 17 to lead top-seeded Duke to an 81-61 victory over Michigan State on Saturday and into yet another title game in the city known for a 500-mile auto race.

The Blue Devils won it all in Indianapolis in 1991, their first under Mike Krzyzewski.

The winningest men’s Division I coach, who has a 9-3 record in national semifinal games, led them to their fourth and most recent title in 2010.

“The city’s great, and even if we didn’t win tonight the city would still be great and the venue would be great,” Krzyzewski said. “This team, though, deserved to be in it. So it makes it even better. They’ve been so good in this tournament and the stage has not been too big for them.”

The start against Michigan State didn’t look too promising for a trip to Monday night’s title game. The Spartans were ahead, 14-6, just four minutes into the game, making five of their first seven shots and the

Things changed, and in a hurry.

“After the first four minutes, we were a different team.

We played great basketball tonight, especially on the defensive end,” Krzyzewski said.

Defensively, it was a team effort, just the way Krzyzewski has stressed for his 35 seasons at Duke. What had been wide open 3-pointers early for Michigan State became contested shots and when the Blue Devils started getting up and into the Spartans, the points were sud-

denly tough to come by.

“They did a good job of taking me away,” said Michigan State’s Denzel Valentine, who had nine of his 22 points in that opening run, including three 3-pointers. “I got hot, and they started denying a little bit and started forcing us to take bad

shots and the next thing you know they had the lead.”

The two Duke freshmen put up some impressive stats in their first Final Four game.

Winslow, who played through some early foul trouble, had nine rebounds and was 5 for 7 from the field, while Okafor grabbed six rebounds and was 7 for 11 from the field.

“I don’t think we started the game out with the intensity we needed,” Cook said. “When we got down early, Coach got on us and the last 36 minutes we played one of our better games.

It’s definitely hard out there, but we just strung some stops together and great defense led to great offense.”

Valentine had 11 rebounds for the Spartans (27-12) while Travis Trice added 16 points.

A win Monday night against Kentucky would mean a fifth national championship for Krzyzewski, breaking a tie with Kentucky’s Adolph Rupp and leaving him behind only John Wooden, who won 10 at UCLA. “It’s an amazing thing, I mean, just to be in the Final Four, but to play on Monday night is the ultimate honor,” Krzyzewski said. “I hope our guys get their rest and we can get the same type of effort we got tonight.”

Cook was already thinking of Monday night.

“Dreams come true, you know,” he said. “Dreams come true.”

Wisconsin ends Kentucky’s perfect season

By EDDIE PELLS The Associated Press INDIANAPOLIS – Nobody ever said they were perfect.

Now, the Kentucky Wildcats aren’t undefeated, either.

The hard-nosed Wisconsin Badgers did what nobody else could Saturday night – knocking off the Wildcats, 71-64, behind 20 points and 11 rebounds from Frank Kaminsky and a clutch comeback down the stretch.

less entertaining – semifinal.

“It gives us another 40 minutes, I know that,” said Wisconsin coach Bo Ryan, who leads the Badgers to their first final since 1941.

And Kentucky has a long ride home, finishing the season at 38-1 – two wins short of becoming the first undefeated team in college basketball since the 1975-76 Indiana Hoosiers. Instead, these NBAready group of Wildcats join the star-studded 1991 UNLV team as the latest to take an undefeated record into the Final Four but lose in the semifinals.

So much has been made

of Kentucky’s unflappability when things don’t look so good – like when the Wildcats got outplayed against Notre Dame last week but somehow pulled out a two-point win to make it to Indy.

This time, though, it was Wisconsin that came up clutch.

Trailing by four and gasping for breath after going 6 minutes without a bucket, the Badgers (36-3) responded with an 8-0 run to take a lead Kentucky couldn’t overcome.

Kaminsky and Bronson Koenig went 7 for 8 from the line over the last 24 seconds to seal the win.

CHICAGO – Standing in the shade on a beautiful afternoon in Arizona, Jon Lester embraced the question that hovers over the Cubs these days.

When it comes to all those highly touted prospects, Lester said the time is now.

“When I played in Boston, we didn’t have time to grow up,” the left-hander explained.

“You just had to show up and play, and each year you’re expected to win, so that’s how I feel. Every year they should come in and expect to be not only division winners, but World Series champions. If you don’t have that mindset, then I think you’re playing for

the wrong reasons.”

Heady stuff for a franchise known mostly for futility, but the Cubs think it’s a new era after five consecutive losing seasons.

The shift in thinking for president of baseball operations Theo Epstein and the rest of the front office was evident during an aggressive offseason that included the addition of Joe Maddon after the veteran manager opted out of his contract with Tampa Bay, and a $155 million, six-year contract for Lester.

The hiring of Maddon meant dumping Rick Renteria after just one year, and Lester’s deal is a significant investment for a pitcher who turned 31 in January. But look-

ing at their good young core and rich minor league system, the Cubs felt it was time to act.

“There’s a lot of talent here.

Now it’s about executing,” Lester said. “It’s going out and playing good baseball for six months. It’s hard to do. But that’s why we’re here. We’re going to figure it out as we go.”

The Cubs, who also traded for center fielder Dexter Fowler and catcher Miguel Montero, should be much improved after their 73-89 finish in 2014.

But going from last place to the playoffs could depend more on the development of the Cubs’ top prospects than its newest players.

Jorge Soler takes over in right field after making his major league debut in August

and drawing raves for his approach at the plate in the season’s final month.

Javier Baez will begin the season in the minors, but the free-swinging infielder, Arismendy Alcantara and Kris Bryant – all 20-something position players with considerable potential – also are key to the Cubs’ chance for a breakthrough.

“You don’t really read enough about their personalities and their makeup. That to me makes them real prospects,” Maddon said. “There’s a lot of guys who throw 95 mph and hit balls out of sight. But with the makeup, personality and character ... that’s what really turns me on to this group.”

CELEBRATING THE TWO EASTERS Joliet-area pastors discuss the reasons for date discrepancies

By DENISE M. BARAN-UNLAND dunland@shawmedia.com

J

OLIET – The Rev. John Beal recalled the silent outrage in the pews during one particular Easter when the service didn’t begin at precisely midnight, as is prescribed in the Eastern Orthodox Church.

Beal maintained people in the early days of the Christian church didn’t have watches to check, and if the exact time is so important, how does one reconcile the celebration in different time zones?

“So if you miss the stroke of midnight, is it not really Pascha?” Beal said. “Does the magic not work?”

That said, Beal – pastor of St. Nicholas Orthodox Church in Joliet – belongs to a tradition that sets the date of Easter – or Pascha, as many Orthodox call it – by different calculations than most Christians use.

So although Western and Eastern Christians occasionally celebrate Easter on the same day, generally, the Eastern Orthodox observe it anywhere from one to five weeks later than the rest of the Christian world.

This year, most Eastern Orthodox Christians will celebrate Easter on April 12. Ironically, both West and East refer to one of the first large gatherings of church leaders – the First Ecumenical Council of Nicea held in 325 – for setting that date.

According to information supplied by the Diocese of Joliet, the First Ecumenical Council of Nicea in 325 decreed Easter would be celebrated on the first Sunday after the first full moon of spring.

But here’s where it gets muddy.

The calendar in use at the time of the Council of Nicaea was one established

by Julius Caesar, known as the Julian calendar. That calendar was modified in 1582 by Pope Gregory XIII and is the calendar now in use.

However, Beal said, the Orthodox church with its tradition of conservatism, continued to arrange its liturgical calendar according to the Julian calendar until 1923. Easter – Pascha – continued to be calculated by the Julian calendar.

Still, this adoption of the “new” calendar was rejected by some Eastern Orthodox churches, easy to do when a denomination doesn’t have a top to

Although Western and Eastern Christians occasionally celebrate Easter on the same day, generally the Eastern Orthodox observe it anywhere from one to five weeks later than the rest of the Christian world. This year, many faiths celebrate Easter today; the Eastern Orthodox Church will observe it April 12.

Yet, in a faith system where its leader – in this case, Jesus – is quoted in the Bible as praying that “all may be one” right before the death that preceded his resurrection – the central focus of Christianity – shouldn’t Christians agree on when to commemorate that occasion?

The Rev. John Belmonte, superintendent for the Catholic schools in the Diocese of Joliet, doesn’t think so – not when Christians have greater divisions to reconcile.

Belmonte feels that the liturgical calendar – which begins Dec. 1 in the West and Sept. 1 (new calendar) in the East – and not Jan. 1 as the secular world marks time – is simply a tool,

not a mandate.

“What the church is trying to do is sanctify time, to connect itself with the life of Christ over a calendar year,” Belmonte said.

Interestingly, many Byzantine Catholics, including those belonging to Annunciation Byzantine Catholic Church in Homer Glen, resemble the Eastern Orthodox in their worship services, but recognize the Pope of Rome as its visible head and calculate Easter according to the Gregorian calendar.

The Rev. Thomas J. Loya, pastor, doesn’t view the differences in dates as problematic where ecumenism is concerned – especially since, realistically speaking, no one is exactly certain when Jesus died and was resurrected.

Furthermore, Loya doesn’t understand the Orthodox’s attachment to the Julian calendar.

“The East often accuses us of being legalistic,” Loya said, referring to a general Orthodox view of Catholicism, “but this is one legalism of their own.”

On the other hand, the Rev. Thom Parrott-Sheffer, pastor of Plainfield

Congregational UCC, doesn’t feel that the mindset of people living in 325 A.D. should influence the worship of 21st century Christians, although he thinks it would be cool if Christians could decide on one fixed day.

“I think the fact that we celebrate the story is more important than when we celebrate it,” Parrott-Sheffer said.

The Rev. Keith Forni, pastor of First and Santa Cruz Lutheran Church in Joliet, sees both sides.

Forni likes the idea of the celebration rippling through time through the varying dates, much as the church bells of several different churches ripples through Joliet’s East Side on Sunday morning, announcing their different service times, Forni said.

And yet, Forni feels one simultaneous “Christ is Risen” in all the languages of the world would be a powerful witness.

One thing is certain, Forni feels, no matter how – or when – Christians choose to acknowledge Jesus’ resurrection.

“This is the day that the Lord has made,” Forni said, quoting the Bible.

“Let us rejoice and be glad.”

PUZZLES CROSSWORD

SUDOKU

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

Options continue to be elusive

CELEBRITY CIPHER

George Eliot said, “The strongest principle of growth lies in human choice.”

In bridge, you have a choice of which card to play, with the restriction that you must follow suit.

But sometimes when it seems that you are spoiled for choice, you had better be careful.

In this deal, South barrels into seven spades. He wins the diamond lead with his ace and cashes the spade king to draw the missing trump. But what should he do next?

Declarer starts with 12 top tricks: eight spades, one heart, two diamonds and one club. At first glance, it looks as though he will need the club finesse to work. But there is another potential source for an extra winner – what?

Maybe hearts will split 4-3, a 62 percent shot, and the heart eight can become a winner. However, that will require four dummy entries, three for heart ruffs in hand and one to return to dummy to cash the last heart. What are declarer’s dummy entries?

There are three obvious ones: the heart ace, spade ace and spade queen. The fourth must be the spade four. So South must take care with his spade two. He does best to put it in his pocket.

The play continues: heart to the ace, heart ruff high, spade to dummy’s queen, heart ruff high, spade to the ace, and a heart ruff high. Now declarer retrieves his spade two, overtakes it with dummy’s four, and discards his club four on the heart eight. Finally, note that if hearts break badly, the club finesse is still available. ******

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff Tendons are strong, connective tissue fibers.

They are the things that finally move your fingers the way you want them to move.

When a muscle contracts, it pulls on the tendon, which then pulls on the bone and moves it. (I’ve put an illustration showing the anatomy of our hands on my website, askdoctork. com.)

Try this: Stick out your right hand directly in front of you, with the palm facing the floor and fingers outstretched. Now, keeping your hand straight out in front of you, make a fist. Did you feel the muscles in your forearm, just below the elbow, get tense?

Ligaments, bands of fibrous tissue that bind bones together and keep them properly lined up, also are important to the function of your hand.

Ligaments on either side of the fingers prevent them from bending too far to the side. Those that stretch across the palm keep your fingers from bending too far back.

You may have heard that an opposable thumb is a key anatomical difference between humans and animals. An opposable thumb means that the thumb can oppose, or touch, the index finger.

However, it is our unique ability to oppose our other fingers to the thumb – and to thereby strongly grip and grasp objects – that makes us special.

Dear Dr. K: A friend told me we have no muscles in our fingers.

Is that true? If so, then how do our fingers do all they do?

Dear Reader: It is true, but our hands work wonderfully anyway. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because even though there are no muscles in the fingers, 34 muscles in the palms and forearms make the fingers work.

And our fingers perform a remarkable variety of feats, from the practical (opening doors and typing), to conveying information (through sign language or applause), to gathering information about the environment through our sense of touch.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no wonder our hands have a complex design. Each has 27 bones and a corresponding number of joints (the spaces where two bones meet). Together, the bones in our hands make up nearly a quarter of the total number of bones in our body.

Of course, the muscles in our palms and forearms make the fingers work only when the brain tells them to. So many subtle and important things are done by our hands that about one-fourth of the part of the brain that controls body movement is devoted to controlling our hands.

So how do we hold a pot, open a door or play the piano? It begins in the brain, which sends messages down the nerves that connect to the muscles in our palms and forearms.

Those messages tell specific muscles to tighten and others to relax.

Three major nerves control the movements of our hands.

The muscles are all connected to tendons.

Those tendons connect each muscle to specific bones in our fingers.

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips getting goes to the school.

Dear Abby: I’m a 21-year-old female living in Washington, D.C. Today, while on the Metro coming home from work, a group of eight high school kids hopped on, excited about what they had in their backpacks.

After they sat down across the aisle from me, I saw they were pulling handfuls of clothing out of their backpacks and attempting to take the sensors off the clothes. I heard a couple of them exclaim how excited they were about their new clothes, and one of the boys said, “I’m never paying for any clothes ever again.”

Now I feel guilty I didn’t report anything to the authorities, or at least tell the boys the consequences of their actions weren’t worth the possible repercussions. However, because I was a female traveling alone at sunset, I didn’t want to involve myself in a possibly dangerous situation.

What would your advice be on how to handle this encounter should it happen again? – Met-

ro Rider Dear Rider: You handled the

situation correctly. If you are ever again alone in a situation in which you feel unsafe, particularly if you are outnumbered by individuals you think are up to no good, get away as quickly and quietly as possible.

If you have any idea where the clothes may have come from, call the store and the cops and tell them what you saw.

To my Christian Readers: A happy Easter to all of you.

The Argyle Sweater

Dear Abby: We have two granddaughters who will be going to college soon. We are in a position to help them with expenses, but we are asking you if we should.

We put our daughter through college, and she has a career in the medical field.

Her husband has a part-time, low-paying job and has shown no ambition to find other employment to assist with college expenses for the girls.

He’s into electronics, and when he wants a new item, he has our daughter work overtime to buy it for him and she does. He has told our granddaughters they must pay for their own education because that’s what he had to do, although he never graduated.

(His father told us it isn’t true – they would have helped.)

We have helped them out financially over the years, which of course enables our son-in-law to not improve himself. We realize they quite often play us and think we are too ignorant to realize we are being taken advantage of.

I believe further education for their girls is a no-brainer because we want them to be able to support themselves, but where should we draw the line? – Grandma In Troy, Ohio Dear Grandma: Stand pat before writing any checks; look at your granddaughters’ grades and ask yourself if they take after your daughter or her husband. If they take after him, they may be more interested in a trade school instead.

Depending upon their ambition and aptitude, they may qualify for scholarships or student aid. They also could get part-time jobs to help pay for books or tuition, which would help them to grow into independent young women.

By now it should be apparent it’s time to draw the line.

If you decide to pay for your granddaughters’ education, be sure any money they’ll be

HOROSCOPE TODAY – It’s time to put your needs first. You are a naturally helpful and kind soul, but it is up to you to secure your future. Resentment will ensue if you continue to let others demand too much of your time. Make your goals your top priority.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – You may be surprised to learn how many people are on your side. Don’t be afraid to call in favors and ask for assistance. Your efforts will not go unnoticed.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – You will miss an important detail if you are too impatient. Taking the time to go over your work thoroughly will prevent you from having to start all over again.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Your stress level is on the rise. Plan a pleasurable day with family, friends or neighbors. Include the younger members of your group for added fun.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Don’t rely on others to bring you out of your funk. Treat yourself to something special. Go shopping or sightseeing, or take in a cultural or sporting event.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Let your creativity shine. You should share your talents with as many people as possible. If you maintain a positive outlook, Lady Luck will pay you a visit.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Don’t expect others to help you get ahead. Do your homework and take the steps that lead to success. You have

the knowledge you need, so stop wasting time and get moving.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Staying on top of trends will be a key factor in getting ahead.

Upgrade your skills and your look if you want to be seen as a leader.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Trust in the decisions you make. Doubts will weigh you down and impede your progress. Don’t be dissuaded by the concerns or comments of others. Aim to come out on top.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Put your worries aside. Arrange a gathering of friends and family for some lighthearted entertainment.

You have what it takes to be the perfect host

and to bring people together.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Stop berating yourself if things don’t go your way. You can only control so much, and you risk damaging your health if you dwell only on the negative possibilities.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Plan a makeover or update your image. The better you look, the better you’ll feel. A new look will refresh and rejuvenate you, giving you the energy required to get ahead.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – You will wear yourself out if you fight the changes that are going on around you. Find a way to fit in rather than go against the grain.
