Vote totals

By BOB OKON bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Councilman Bob O’Dekirk was poised Tuesday night be the next Joliet mayor.

O’Dekirk had more than 53 percent of the vote with 73 of 73 precincts reporting in the Will CounBob O’Dekirk ty side of Joliet, and with 7 of 7 p r e c i nc t s r eporting in Kendall County.

O’Dekirk had 7,335 votes between the two counties, Tom while Mayor Giarrante Tom Giarrante had 5,462 votes and Andy Mihelich 1,186 votes, according to unofficial vote totals from Andy both counties.

Mihelich There may be some absentee or other ballotsthrough early voting options to still be counted.

“Those who supported me and those who didn’t – we have to build a team,” O’Dekirk said Tuesday night after declaring victory. “East Side, West Side, white, black, Hispanic – I want to make this city great for everybody.”

O’Dekirk’s campaign slogan was “Joliet Can Be Great Again,” an obvious criticism of what he called a decline during Giarrante’s four-year tenure.

Giarrante criticized the slogan, saying it was an insult to the people of Joliet and noting “Joliet is great already.”

Giarrante said he had no regrets on how he conducted the campaign.

“I tried to stay positive and run on my record,” Giarrante said. “Obviously, the voters didn’t believe me. Or those who believed me didn’t

turn out.”

The candidates were working to turn out their voters as a hotly contested campaign drew to a close Tuesday.

Giarrante tried to hold off an aggressive challenge

by O’Dekirk. Mihelich, the board president at Joliet Junior College, tried to offer an alternative to voters.

Giarrante Spokesman Erik Smith said Tuesday the campaign had been building momentum headed toward Election Day. “We had well over 50 people knocking on doors today and making phone calls,” Smith said. “We feel very

Mayor-elect Bob O’Dekirk speaks to Ken Zelazo Tuesday while waiting for election results to come in. confident that we have momentum in this race.”

O’Dekirk’s camp also had about 50 people going door-todoor Tuesday afternoon, trying to bring out voters who showed an inclination to vote for the councilman. A robocall also was made Tuesday to get out the vote.

Despite the efforts to turn out voters, turnout has not appeared to be heavy through most of the day.

“It’s low, but I don’t know if it’s any lower than other elections,” O’Dekirk said.

Giarrante said turnout seemed comparable to past municipal elections.

“I just voted, and I was number 258, which is pretty good,” Giarrante said at about 6:15 p.m. “If you look at the last few municipal elections, it [turnout] is about 18 or 19 percent.”

Mihelich has predicted

turnout would be lower than in 2011, when there were nine candidates in the mayor’s race. Mihelich was a candidate in that election, when Giarrante was elected to his first term as mayor.

“We’re hoping we’re turning out voters I know we could count on,” Mihelich said. “We’re just going to wait and see.”

Mihelich has tried to appeal to voters with his “101 Ideas for a New Joliet,” a list of ideas he hopes to implement if elected. Ideas have ranged from turning vacant lots into community gardens to selling Silver Cross Field if it cannot be converted into a two-sports stadium.

O’Dekirk, who first was elected to the City Council in 2011, has tried to galvanize new voters to turn out and support him. He’s called for a change in culture at City Hall and has appealed to citizens who have voiced discontent with the way the city operates.

Giarrante said Friday that his campaign had targeted voters who have shown in past elections that they will come out and vote. The mayor has made his case for re-election by pointing to new businesses coming to Joliet and stabilizing city finances since 2011.

Gavin wins ‘squeaker’ in Joliet council race

By BOB OKON bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Councilwoman Bettye Gavin won by 36 votes and Pat Mudron also gained a victory in the two close races for Joliet City Council.

Gavin and James Foster were neck-andneck all night in the District Four Bettye Gavin race.

The final unofficial count was Gavin, 656 votes, and Foster, 620, with all votes counted.

“It was a Pat Mudron s q u e a k e r a l l night,” Gavin said. “Right now, the victory is sweet.”

In District Two, Mudron had 47 percent of Larry Hug the vote.

“I’ve had a chance to speak with lot of people of all ages, and they thought I could do the job,” Mudron said.

John Gerl Incumbent council members Larry Hug, John Gerl and Terry Morris all won by large margins.

Terry Morris

District One

Even though he was the incumbent, Hug credited his victory to the “change” voters sought when he and Councilman Bob O’Dekirk, who won the mayor’s race Tuesday, were first elected in 2011.

“Hardly anyone came to council meetings in 2011, but now they’re packed,” said Hug, who had 59 percent of the vote.

Terry Cottrell, the chief information officer for the University of St. Francis, had promoted new ideas for economic development and said he wanted to develop

community advisory councils.

District Two Mudron, known in town since his days as a football standout and state wrestling champion at Joliet Catholic High School in the 1970s, credited his apparent victory to “age and time in town. I’ve been involved in many, many organizations.”

Brett Gould, who had won three previous elections to the Joliet Park District, was second with 42 percent of the vote.

Roger Powell Sr. finished third with 11 percent.

District Two was an open seat after O’Dekirk decided to run for mayor.

District Three Gerl held onto his seat easily in District Three, which runs far west into Kendall County, with more than 70 percent of the vote.

Challenger Ray Polikaitis has tried to reach new voters, proposing monthly meetings with residents in the district.

Gerl made his case for re-election on the city’s improved financial outlook since the 2011 election.

District Four “I am reaching out to those who were in the race,” Gavin said. “I think we can all work together.”

Gavin was appointed to the seat in 2014 when former Councilwoman Susie Barber resigned after missing months of council meetings due to failing health.

Foster, a union electrical contractor, could not be reached for comment Tuesday night.

The other two candidates in the race were Angel Guzman, who received 18 percent of the vote; and Phillip Petrakos, 16 percent.

District Five Morris received 69 percent of the vote in his contest with Leonard Thompson Jr.

NEW LENOX

Baldermann wins third term as mayor

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com NEW LENOX — Tim Baldermann will continue as mayor for New Lenox.

Based on unofficial Will County Clerk results, with 19 of 19 precincts reporting, Baldermann, 48, will have a third term as the New Lenox mayor. On Tuesday, he won with 1,970 votes. His challengers Ron Sly, 55, had 1,612 votes and Andrew Englebrecht, 24, had 81 votes.

Baldermann previously ran unopposed in 2011.

Baldermann said he looks forward to providing great service to residents.

“There are so many people that worked so hard for this campaign,” Baldermann said. “I am very, very grateful for all their work. I am looking forward to continuing to serve the residents of the community.”

Baldermann has said he decided run for mayor again

because he has the “best qualifications to be mayor” and laid out a clear plan for economic development, infrastructure projects and residential growth.

While he doesn’t believe in elected officials serving in the same position for decades, he has said business developers need to feel comfortable with stable leadership at the local level. New Lenox village officials are trying to revitalize the village downtown area, with a goal of building a new train station.

Baldermann is also the superintendent of Union School District 81 and a former Chicago Ridge police chief.

Sly, a former New Lenox Village Public Works superintendent, ran because he wanted to apply his experience to village operations and focus on core services such as road maintenance and police services. He also

wanted to spearhead higher standards of residential and commercial development.

Englebrecht, lifelong village resident, desired to become mayor because he wanted more economic growth invested locally and ensuring residents’ voices are heard. One of his projects he said he wanted to start was a community garden to help local food pantries.

New Lenox trustees race

Nancy Dye, David L. Butterfield, Keith C. Madsen and Emily Johnson won trustee positions for New Lenox Village Board, based on unofficial Will County Clerk results.

For full-term seats, Dye won with 2,206 votes, while Butterfield and Madsen won with 2,100 and 1,845 votes, respectively.

Johnson won a two-year seat to fill an unexpired term, with 1,714 votes.

New, old faces secure spots on Plainfield trustee Joliet, Plainfield park boards race too close to call

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD — Ridgley Ann “Mimi” Poling and Robert Ayres both secured spots on the Plainfield Park District Board on Tuesday night in two newly created seats designed to dilute power on a board faced with controversy, strife and public outrage over the last two years.

With all precincts reporting, Ayres and Poling ended the night with 2,584 and 2,293 votes, respectively, beating out a third opponent, John Ledvina, for two seats on the board, according to preliminary vote totals from the Will and Kendall County clerk’s offices.

Incumbents Mary Kay Ludemann and Larry Newton won spots, too, after running

unopposed for six-year terms.

A new state law expanded the park board from five commissioners to Robert Ayres s e v e n a m i d board controversy last year.

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

“Obviously, I’m incredibly excited,” Ayres said late Tuesday. “Really, the most important thing is for everyone to

work together, and mend the bridges. Now, we’ve got this opportunity to right that ship and get things moving forward.”

Joliet Park District

Joliet city employee Joe Mutz pulled ahead of retired Joliet police chief Mike Trafton for one of two spots on the Joliet Park District Board after provisional votes were tallied at the end of the night.

Board President Glen Marcum won with the most votes, and will enter his second fouryear term as board president following his re-election Tuesday night, according to preliminary totals.

Marcum, 54, a lifelong Joliet resident, had 6,317 votes.

Mutz landed in second, with 5,405 votes. Trafton had 5,391 votes.

By VIKAAS SHANKER

vshanker@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD — The Plainfield trustee race was too close to call late Tuesday as unofficial election results came in. Candidates Edward O’Rourke, Michael Lambert, Brian Wojowski and incumbent Bill Lamb were within nine votes of each other for three spots on the board, according to initial results.

As of 9 p.m. Tuesday, with 23 of 23 precincts in Will and Kendall counties reporting, O’Rourke had 631 votes, Lambert had 627 votes, Wojowski also had 627 votes, and Lamb had 622 votes.

They were ahead of candidate Mark Chmura, who had 486 votes, and John Green, who received 364 votes.

Those totals did not include absentee or other ballots cast through early voting options, which were to be added in after votes cast Tuesday were tabulated.

O’Rourke wants to fix traffic congestion created because of commuters passing through the village, train stoppages at road crossings and speeding in subdivisions.

He also wants to diversify the tax base with commercial and retail development.

Before putting pressure on Canadian National for train stoppages in Plainfield, Lambert wants to develop a relationship with the railway company. He also wants to re-image Plainfield into sectors to cater to economic needs in different parts of Plainfield.

Wojowski wants to make sure Plainfield’s history is preserved amid newer development and redevelopment.

Lamb described the village as “healthy” and “on the right track” when it comes to passing balanced budgets and freezing or lowering property taxes. But he wants an increased focus on transportation and congestion.

WILL COUNTY

Mike Kelley told committee members Tuesday, including the department’s less-thanideal vehicle storage situation.

“We’ve got a Porsche that’s 10 years old that was involved in a drug deal that’s just sitting outside,” he said. “My point is, we eventually want to send that to auction. The longer we let it sit, the longer it deteriorates.”

Other police vehicles need to be properly stored and secured, he said.

A new public safety campus, which would include an improved storage area for vehicles, could come at a cost of about $66 million, according to the report. But the longer the county waits, the pricier building materials and construction becomes, consultants warned Tuesday.

JOLIET – A new sheriff’s facility on Laraway Road couldn’t be built fast enough.

Worsening building conditions, along with fragmented operations and fundamental space deficiencies of the Will County sheriff’s operations – now spread out over 10 buildings on six sites – were the focus of a report presented Tuesday to members of the Will County Board’s Capital Improvements and Finance committees Tuesday.

The deteriorating facility at Laraway Road and Route 52, where much of the sheriff’s operations are located, was built in the mid-1960s.

It’s inefficient on space and in poor physical condition, Dennis Kimme, with Kimme & Associates, said Tuesday.

It houses communications, traffic, crime scene investigations, evidence, records and the public lobby.

Kimme pointed to a small, narrow storage compartment – oddly located in one of the men’s bathrooms – as a prime example. Evidence storage is another issue, he said.

The report states the facilities also present a poor image to the public, and are difficult to access.

Consolidating several operations – the sheriff’s facilities, the county’s emergency management agency, the coroner’s morgue and the forest preserve district police – into one public safety campus on Laraway Road would be ideal, County Board Speaker Jim Moustis, R-Frankfort, said Tuesday.

Conditions have long been known, Will County Sheriff

SHOREWOOD – Shorewood residents seemingly have bucked the trend and voted in favor of giving the village home rule powers Tuesday, according to unofficial election results.

As of 9:15 p.m., with 10 of 10 precincts counted, 1,081 residents voted “yes” to home rule and 992 residents voted “no.” The result wasn’t official because absentee and provisional votes still were being counted Tuesday night.

If the result holds up, the village will gain home rule taxing authority, allowing it to replace a 1 percent non-home rule sales tax with a 1.75 percent home rule sales tax, generating about $1.5 million in revenue every year.

The revenue would help fund for pipeline extensions allowing the village to potentially switch from a rapidly depleting groundwater source to Lake Michigan water.

CREST HILL

Vershay, Inman on way to victory

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com CREST HILL – John Vershay and Tom Inman will likely continue serving Crest Hill residents after winning in their respective wards Tuesday, pending final election results.

As of 9 p.m. Tuesday, with 4 of 4 precincts reporting, Vershay received 177 votes for Ward 1, with candidate

Gordon Butler receiving 148 votes and Joseph Casagrande with 80 votes, according to unJohn Vershay official results from the Will County Clerk’s Office. Those totals did not include absentee or other ballots cast through early voting options.

Inman was winning the

Ward 4 race with 292 votes.

He was ahead of Nate Albert, who had 201 votes, and Barbara DeLaney Tom Inman with 151 votes.

Vershay likely extended his tenure on the City Council, which started in 1979.

Vershay said the city needs to run more like a busi-

ness, something that can be established with more efficient organization and management in city staff.

“Provisional votes are not in yet,” Vershay said. “I wait till the fat lady sings. It looks good right now.”

Inman is an incumbent who won his third term Tuesday. Unlike his opponents, he said the city is on the right track to improving the economic climate in the

city.

He is a retired veteran, school teacher and basketball coach who said economic growth is picking up under Mayor Ray Soliman.

“I’m honored to get another opportunity to serve constituents and I couldn’t be happier,” Inman said.

Claudia Gazal of Ward 2 and Tina Oberlin of Ward 3 were re-elected to their seats unopposed.

HOMER GLEN

Yukich wins out over Daley in mayoral race

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com HOMER GLEN – Village Trustee George Yukich started out earlier this year as a writein candidate for Homer Glen mayor.

On Tuesday night, he came

out on top with enough votes to become the village’s next mayor, edging out a win over incumbent James Daley Jr., according to unofficial figures from the Will County Clerk’s office.

With 16 of 16 precincts reporting, Yukich received 2,514

votes to Daley Jr.’s 1,694 votes.

In the race for village clerk, Ann Holtz won with 2,480 votes, while her opponent Gale Skrobuton received just 1,505 votes.

In the six-way race for three trustee seats, Beth Rodgers won a spot with 2,511 votes;

Christina Neitzke-Troike won with 2,146 votes; and Carlo Caprio won with 1,764. Marcia DeVivo, Kevin Hoffmeister and Jay Bradarich Sr. all fell short.

It’s the ending to a fairly odd story that began ahead of the February primary – when

Yukich and village trustee candidate Rodgers were thrown off the April 7 ballot over a question concerning their candidate paperwork. Nearly two dozen people mounted efforts to run as write-ins to force a primary and help Yukich and Rodgers get back on the ballot.

Channahon Village Board OKs budget

By JEANNE MILLSAP Shaw Media correspondent CHANNAHON – Channahon village trustees Monday approved the 2015-16 budget, with expected revenues totaling $26.6 million and expenses of $27.4 million.

The more than $800,000 deficit will be taken from the village’s reserves, most of which will come from the special revenue and capital projects funds.

“We’re in good shape,” Finance Director Heather Morandi said after the meeting.

“We have ample revenues to cover operating expenses, and we are fortunate to be able to do some capital projects this year.”

No new personnel is budgeted for the coming fiscal year, Morandi said, but dollars are budgeted for financial software implementation, phase 1 engineering for the Bridge Street bike path and the widening of Dove Drive, a new truck for the public works department and a stump-cutter that will be used

for the continued take-down of village ash trees infested with emerald ash borer.

Various street projects are also included in the new budget, as well as utility projects and the purchase of a new fingerprinting machine for the police department.

The Village Board also approved a $12,358 computer purchase from Tiger Direct as part of its computer replacement policy, which was designed to replace older computers at five-year intervals. However, according to Community Development and Information Systems Di-

rector Mike Petrick, because of budget cuts the past couple of years, several village computers are more outdated than should be.

Computers originally bought in 2009 and 2010 will be replaced. Replacements will include two HP ProBook laptops at $550 each, 14 HP ProDesk desktops at $450 each and Microsoft Office Professional 2013 software for all systems at $346 each. Existing monitors for the desktops will be used.

Trustees also approved partnering with Troy Township to construct a single layer chip seal road maintenance project on portions of Shepley Road. The work will be led and managed by the township, with the village contributing $12,500.

The board also approved hiring retired Channahon building inspector Dave Cavanaugh for part-time, temporary work while the village’s current building official is on medical leave.

Trustees Missey Schumacher and Mark Scaggs also

warned residents of several phone frauds occurring in the area recently, with scam artists identifying themselves as IRS officials attempting to get information from residents.

LOCAL BRIEFS Man shot in Joliet tavern parking lot Monday

JOLIET – A man was shot outside a Joliet tavern Monday night.

Gunfire was reported at 8:06 p.m. near Andy and Sophie’s Tavern, 931 N. Hickory St., according to Deputy Police Chief Al Roechner.

“A 22-year-old man came into the bar and said he’d been in the parking lot with a friend when they were shot at,” Roechner said.

Meanwhile, paramedics were called to Rich & Creamy, 920 N. Broadway. A 19-year-old man told police he’d run to the ice cream stand from Andy and Sophie’s parking lot after being shot in the back.

The victim was taken to the hospital for an injury that was

not considered life-threatening, according to police reports.

“The two men said they’d been in the area looking for a girl’s house and noticed a car circling the area before the shots. They did not give a description of the vehicle,” Roechner said.

Woman arrested, man injured in Joliet crash

JOLIET – Police say an intoxicated driver smashed into another car late Monday in Joliet.

Joliet Deputy Police Chief Al Roechner said a 39-year-old man was driving a black Honda at Black Road Heather and Bethel Drive Brown when he was “T-boned” by a silver sedan.

“The driver of the Honda had to be extricated from the vehicle [by firefighters],” Roechner said. “He suffered broken ribs, a punctured spleen and bruised lungs.”

The man was taken to Presence Saint Joseph Medical Center.

The driver of the silver car, Heather Brown, 31, was arrested on charges of aggravated driving under the influence, driving under the influence of alcohol, driving under the influence of drugs, possession of drug paraphernalia and failing to reduce speed to avoid an accident.

“There was a crack pipe found in the car,” Roechner said.

Brown, of the 2300 block of Avalon Avenue, was booked into the Will County jail about 4:30 a.m. Tuesday.

To provide the best customer service, realtors must be knowledgeable about the communities they serve. Coldwell Banker Honig-Bell, Realtors, does business in Manhattan and New Lenox, Illinois, two wonderful communities that are gearing up for spring.

Some fun activities are scheduled for residents to enjoy.

In Manhattan, a Walk ‘n Roll-a-Thon with color is a “fun run” for all ages, and takes place April 26 at 9:30 am. This untimed 5K emphasizes fun over competition; runners start in a clean white shirt and pass stations with different color dyes used to “paint” the shirts.

Proceeds benefit the Field of Dreams, a multi-purpose sport field designed for individuals with disabilities, and the Les Turner ALS Foundation.

Several bus trips have been scheduled for spring: Participants will visit Tuscola Outlet and Flesor’s Candy Kitchen in Tuscola, IL on April 15 and 17, the Wakarusa Maple Syrup Festival in Indiana on April 15 and 25, and the Route 66 Red Carpet Corridor Festival on

May 2 and 15.

In New Lenox, the Amazing Race Challenge (ages 21 and up) will take place Saturday, April 18 from 5:30 pm - midnight. Teams of four will follow clues around the village and complete a variety of tasks and challenges. The first team to complete each task and make it back to the Lions Community Center will win the race!

The New Lenox Community Park District was again awarded the Target Family Fun Reading Grant; on Wednesday, May 27, from 6:30 -8:00 pm, families can gather to celebrate their love of reading! Games, activities, entertainment and book-themed snacks will be provided at this free event.

The third annual Chasing the Sun 5K/8K Race and Fitness Walk, for ages 7 and up, will begin and end at the New Lenox Commons on June 11 at 7:00 pm. Participants will enjoy free food, beverages, and activities at the “after race” party. Visit www.racetime. com for more information.

lleonecross@shawmedia.com JOLIET – County officials are eyeing a mix of revenue sources – including the city of Joliet and the county’s regional transportation authority funds – to help pay for construction of a new courthouse.

Building a new $175 million to $200 million courthouse would require an additional annual debt service of about $10.2 million to $11.7 million over 25 years, but the county can’t afford that.

At least, not on its own.

“We’ve done our research in regards to our revenue sources, so now we have this remaining dollar amount. Where are we going to find that?” Ragan Freitag, chair for the County Board’s Capital Improvements Committee, said Tuesday. “We need to go to the city of Joliet and ask them to contribute that. … They want us downtown. We want to work with them. They want to invest with us.”

About $2 million to $3 million would be needed from the city annually to help pay for the new courthouse, Freitag said. Whether the city would pitch in remains unclear.

Other annual revenue sources under consideration include money from the coun-

“Bottom line is you have about half a billion to $700 million of capital needs, with limited resources.”

Victor Chang Will County financial adviser ty’s RTA funds and $1.5 million from a recently enacted court user-fee. Another $2.4 million stems from a property tax increase approved during the previous year’s budget cycle.

A public safety tax, which requires a referendum, could be considered down the road.

The county already has about $130 million in outstanding debt service stemming from past projects – including the Adult Detention Facility and the county’s Build Will program, among others – according to debt service documents reviewed Tuesday during a joint meeting of the County Board’s Capital Improvements and Finance committees.

That debt is coupled with an estimated $595 million to $680 million needed for longterm transportation and capital projects – including the new courthouse, satellite courthouses, a new sheriff’s

facility, health department and a new radio system, according to documents.

“Bottom line is you have about half a billion to $700 million of capital needs, with limited resources,” said Victor Chang, the county’s financial adviser and an agent of Wells Fargo.

The committees’ discussion was on the optimistic side, said Nick Palmer, chief of staff for the Will County Executive’s Office.

“When this washes out in the budget process, it’ll be a challenge,” Palmer said, noting the shift of money from RTA funds is a “significant reduction” for the county’s transportation budget.

The $175 million to $200 million budget target given at Tuesday’s meeting was below initial estimates presented earlier this year by the architectural firm hired to develop preliminary design work. The preferred design option for the new courthouse was estimated between $232 million and $257 million, which includes renovations to the EmCo building and site improvements.

County officials are eyeing the First Midwest Bank site at Ottawa and Jefferson streets, which the county bought last year, as a potential site for a new courthouse.

JOLIET – A Will County committee approved a resolution Tuesday authorizing the Will County’s State’s Attorney’s Office to proceed with a condemnation lawsuit with property owners along Briggs Street, from Mills Road to U.S. Route 52.

But Will County Highway Engineer Bruce Gould said officials still are deep in negotiations with property owners and it’s possible a condemnation suit won’t be needed.

“We’re still working with the owners, but this could end up in condemnation,” Gould explained to members of the Will County Board’s Public Works and Transportation Committee.

Gould said the county’s plan is to resurface all of Briggs Street from Mills Road to U.S. 52. That requires the county to acquire some land from property owners in the right-of-way,

he said.

Eight parcels of land are listed in the county resolution. A condemnation suit could be needed if Swanson & Brown, a negotiator on behalf of Will County, cannot reach an agreement on fair market value with the landowners listed.

If negotiations fall short and the matter ends up in condemnation, it would be another in a string of condemnation suits filed against property owners in recent months, including a suit involving planned improvements at 147th Street and Gougar Road in Lockport.

While the county’s Public Works and Transportation Committee approved the resolution authorizing the condemnation lawsuit Tuesday, the County Board’s Executive Committee must also lend its support. Once it does, final authorization to move forward with the suit must come from the entire County Board.

Fairmont teacher becomes Golden Apple award finalist Teacher built disbanded music program from scratch

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com LOCKPORT – Growing up, teaching and music became twin passions for Kimberly Minarich.

Those passions have led Minarich, 30, to grow the educational music program at Fairmont School District 89 from the ground up. She is one of 30 finalists for the Golden Apple Award for Excellence in Teaching this year.

“I feel very humbled by it and my school has been so excited about it as well,” Minarich said. “They’ve been really supportive and encouraging.”

Minarich is one of two finalists for the award who teach at a school in Will County. Lee Parrott, a Plainfield elementary school teacher, also is a finalist. The prospective award recipients were selected from a pool of more than 600 nominees throughout Chicago and the surrounding suburban communities.

Award winners will be announced in May. Minarich, an Elmhurst College graduate, said she’s taught for five years. Before coming to Fairmont two years ago, she taught at Shabbona Middle School in Morris, Joliet Central High School and Kelvin-Grove Middle School in Lockport.

The small Lockport school district didn’t have a music program for 15 years because of a lack of financial resources, Superintendent Sonya Whitak-

er said. When the school board approved implementation of the program three years ago, Minarich was brought in to teach students “how to make a way out of no way,” she said.

“What I think is powerful is even when she came into the system, the resources were limited and she taught students how to make their own instruments,” Whitaker said.

The school district is fortunate to have Minarich, and the Golden Apple award is the educational version of “the Grammys,” she said.

Minarich said teaching children is fun and she enjoys “spreading the joy of music.”

When Fairmont school officials hired her, they needed someone to build the program from scratch.

“There was nothing there when I came there,” she said.

“It’s been really exciting to see the music program grow and see the kids and how excited

they are about music.”

She said the Fairmont community is a high poverty area and children do not have many resources. According to the Illinois Report Card, Fairmont has an enrollment of 304 students, 92 percent of whom are low-income students.

When teaching children, Minarich said she believes she is teaching the next generation of leaders. She said it is important as an educator to teach students respect and for her to be an example to follow.

Minarich said she came from a musical family where all her siblings played piano.

Music has always been a huge part of her life and she loved playing the piano, she said.

“As I grew older, it turned into my passion in life. … When you’re younger, your teacher asks you, ‘What do you want to be when you grow up’? And I said I wanted to pursue music,” she said.

Lawyers see no proof U.S. couple planned murder

BALI, Indonesia – Lawyers representing an American couple on trial in Indonesia argued Tuesday that there is no evidence of premeditated murder in her mother’s death and sought light sentences if they are convicted.

Prosecutors want jail sentences of 18 years for Tommy Schaefer and 15 years for Heather Mack if they are found guilty of murdering Sheila von Wiese-Mack, 62, whose badly beaten body was found in a suitcase in the trunk of a taxi outside an upscale hotel in August.

Schaefer, 21, and Mack, 19, both from Chicago, are being tried separately with the same judges

and prosecutors at the Denpasar District Court. They are charged with premeditated murder, which carries a maximum death penalty, and the judges could ignore the sentencing requests.

Ary Soenardi, a lawyer for Mack, said his client has apologized and still regrets what happened.

“The defendant still regrets and feels sad over the death of her late mother,” Soenardi said. “As the only child, the defendant has lost the love of a mother.”

He doubted how the prosecutors concluded that Mack committed a premeditated murder, since none of 22 witnesses heard in the trial knew exactly what was really done by the defendant.

Therefore, he hoped that the judge would “take into account the social and psychological conditions of the defendant in deciding the verdict and hand down as light as possible sentence.”

Prosecutors have accused her of committing sadistic acts to her own mother, but decided to be lenient because she repeatedly expressed remorse and has a newborn baby. However, they did not explain why they sought less than the maximum penalty for Schaefer.

In Schaefer’s trial, lawyer Iswahyudi Edy said the 18-year year term is too heavy as the prosecutors could not prove premeditation.

“The crime done by the defendant was actually preceded by a series of incidents including a quarrel between Mack and her mother, who threatened to kill the unborn baby,” Edy said.

“Mack called the defendant through a short message ... and the defendant just came to protect Mack without intention to kill the victim.”

Frances was born on July 27, 1931, in Belknap, Illinois, the daughter of the late Clarence and Taliatha (Richards) Mescher. She married Harold Young on August 19, 1950. They resided in Lockport until moving to Olney in 1994.

Frances enjoyed genealogy research and spending time with her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.

She is survived by her husband of 64 and one-half years, Harold Young of Olney; son, David (Phyllis) of Joliet; daughter, Catherine(Roy) Nerad of Oswego; son, Steven of Westchester; five grandchildren, Sarah (Zachary), Rebecca, Brandon (Christina), Michael, and Britney; and three great-grandchildren, Molly, Michael, and Henry. She is also survived by her brother, Jerry (Dorothy) Mescher of Lockport; and brother, Jack (Becky) Mescher of

Andrews, SC. Frances was preceded in death by her parents; and her brothers, William Mescher and Harold “Gene” Mescher.

Cremation rites were accorded

by Summers-Kistler Funeral Home in Olney with a memorial service scheduled for a later date in Joliet.

OHSA cites Lombard business for failing to protect workers

DES PLAINES – U.S Department of Labor officials have found that a crew working on a Des Plaines condominium could have fallen from the seven-story building because their employer failed to provide protection.

The federal labor department announced the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s finding on Monday.

Officials say an OHSA inspection came after investigators saw the crew working without protection on Oct. 30, 2014.

It is the sixth time since 2004 that officials determined Lombard-based employer Armor Shield Construction exposed workers to potential falling hazards. The company has been cited for three repeated and two serious safety violations for the latest infractions.

INDIANAPOLIS – Gov. Bruce Rauner said he wants “rip the economic guts out of Indiana.”

He told the Chicago Tribune Editorial Board Monday: “Believe me, I am going to rip – try to rip the economic guts out of Indiana.”

He went on to say, “We’re coming after Indiana big time.”

Kara Brooks, a spokeswoman for Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, said Indiana will put up its low corporate taxes, triple A credit rating and business climate against those of any other state.

She says, “Illinois will find tough competition here in Indiana.”

The two states’ rivalry dates to 2011, when state and local officials in northwest Indiana ran an advertising campaign to lure Illinois businesses after that state raised its corporate tax rate from 4.8 percent to 7 percent.

A prosecutor said in Kankakee County court Monday that Taylor’s aunt Tonya Grant told pursuing police that she hadn’t had contact with Taylor and wasn’t aware if anyone else had.

But the prosecutor said Grant knew Taylor called her daughter.

Grant’s attorney had asked she be released on her own recognizance, saying she wasn’t a flight risk.

representatives said the Illinois legislature shouldn’t revive an idea to add a 5 percent tax to customers’ bills to pay for public works projects.

The representatives said at a Monday news conference that they’re worried the proposal might get new life as lawmakers look for ways to pay for road construction. They said the possible tax is unfair, particularly for rural residents who don’t have cable access.

“Satellite TV really fills a void there, providing entertainment and news,” said Lisa McCabe with the Satellite Broadcasting and Communications Association.

The tax hasn’t come up this year in a proposal. The state Senate has approved it in the past, but it didn’t go further. A spokeswoman for Senate President John Cullerton, D-Chicago, told the State Journal-Register he’s talked about the issue with cable and satellite representatives.

CHICAGO – Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel has won a second term by defeating Cook County Commissioner Jesus “Chuy” Garcia in a runoff.

Emanuel was unable to capture a majority against four other candidates in February’s election, forcing Tuesday’s runoff.

Marathon bomb case jurors end 1st day of deliberations

By DENISE LAVOIE The Associated Press BOSTON – Jurors in the trial of admitted Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev deliberated for a little more than seven hours Tuesday before ending their first day of deliberations without reaching a verdict.

Judge George O’Toole Jr. dismissed the jury at about 4:40 p.m. after telling the panel of seven women and five men, “It’s time to call it a day.”

The judge said jurors sent him two notes containing questions shortly before the day’s end. He did not publicly share the contents of the notes but told the jurors he would answer their questions Wednesday morning. Prosecutors and Tsarnaev’s lawyers declined to reveal the contents of the notes.

Jurors are considering 30 charges against Tsarnaev stemming from the 2013 attack that killed three people and wounded more than 260.

If they convict him, they then will decide during a second phase of the trial whether he should be sentenced to death or receive life in prison. Seventeen of the charges carry the possibility of the death penalty.

During both opening statements and closing arguments, Tsarnaev’s lawyers admitted he participated in the bombings but said his now-dead older brother, Tamerlan, was the driving force behind the attack.

During closings Monday, Tsarnaev lawyers agreed with prosecutors that Tsarnaev conspired with his brother to bomb the marathon and planted one of two pressure-cooker bombs that exploded near the finish line

April 15, 2013.

But the defense said it was Tamerlan Tsarnaev who was the mastermind of the attack. It was Tamerlan who bought the bomb parts, built the bombs and planned the attack, defense attorney Judy Clarke said.

“If not for Tamerlan, it would not have happened,” Clarke said.

A prosecutor told the jury Tsarnaev made a cold-blooded decision aimed at punishing America for its wars in Muslim countries.

“This was a cold, calculated terrorist act. This was intentional. It was bloodthirsty. It was to make a point,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Aloke Chakravarty said.

“It was to tell America that: ‘We will not be terrorized by you anymore. We will terrorize you.’ ” Deliberations were scheduled to resume Wednesday.

Kenyan students march Tuesday in downtown Nairobi, Kenya, in memory of the victims of Thursday’s Garissa college attack and to protest what they say is a lack of security. on the sides of a police vehicle and converged briefly outside Kenyan police headquarters, again demanding: “Where were you?”

The Kenyan military, which has barracks in the town of Garissa, was the first to respond with some help from local police, the government has said. The police department’s paramilitary tactical unit, known as the Recce Squad, was briefed about the attack but put on standby because the military said it

could handle the attack, said a senior police officer who was involved in Thursday’s actions.

It was only after hours had passed and the military had suffered casualties that a decision was made to send in the Recce unit, which is trained in close-quarters combat and hostage rescues and is based in Nairobi, he said.

Military spokesman Col. David Obonyo did not immediately answer phone calls seeking comment.

Judge: Charge CIA officials for drone strike

By ZARAR KHAN and KEN DILANIAN The Associated Press ISLAMABAD – A Pakistani judge on Tuesday ordered that criminal charges be filed against a former CIA lawyer who oversaw its drone program and the one-time chief agency operative in Islamabad over a 2009 strike that killed two people.

Former acting general counsel John A. Rizzo and ex-station chief Jonathan Bank must face charges including murder, conspiracy, terrorism and waging war against Pakistan, Justice Shaukat Aziz Siddiqui of the Islamabad High Court ruled.

A court clerk and a lawyer involved the case, Mirza Shahzad Akbar, confirmed details of the judge’s ruling.

Rizzo and Bank could not be reached immediately for

Protesters in Islamabad, Pakistan, attend a rally Oct. 28, 2011, to condemn U.S. drone attacks in Pakistani tribal areas on al-Qaida and Taliban hideouts. comment. The CIA will have no comment, spokesman Chris White told The AP. The legal action comes as the number of CIA drone strikes in Pakistan has fallen precipitously from their 2010 high, amid signs that the

U.S. and Pakistan have been more closely cooperating on counterterrorism issues after years of tensions. It is unclear how the criminal charges will affect that cooperation, even though the defendants almost certainly will never see the inside of a Pakistani courtroom.

The only way the case could go forward is if U.S. officials cooperate with the Pakistani court, which is inconceivable given that the drone strikes were carried out under a program ordered by two successive U.S. presidents.

The case recalls legal charges brought by an independent magistrate in Italy against CIA officers involved in the 2003 kidnapping of a terror suspect. Nine Americans were convicted, but none returned to Italy to face the charges.

Bank was sent home from Pakistan in 2010 after his

cover was blown when a Pakistani man named Kareem Khan initially threatened to sue the CIA and others for $500 million over the deaths of his son, Zaenullah Khan, 18, and brother, Asif Iqbal, in a purported Dec. 31, 2009, strike on a tribal region.

The AP and other media organizations reported at the time that three people were killed in a missile attack that day in Mir Ali in North Waziristan. Pakistani intelligence officials said then that the men were militants but offered no proof.

As the outrage over the lawsuit grew, protesters in Islamabad began carrying placards bearing Bank’s name as listed in the lawsuit, urging him to leave the country. The CIA didn’t move Bank, who previously had served in Baghdad, until he began receiving death threats.

By JIM KUHNHENN The Associated Press WASHINGTON – White House officials left open the possibility Tuesday that President Obama could recommend Cuba’s removal from a list of state sponsors of terror around the time of the Summit of the Americas later this week in Panama. The officials also sought to soften tensions with Venezuela that threatened to overshadow the summit.

Deputy National Security adviser Benjamin Rhodes said the State Department’s review of Cuba’s place on that terror list is in “its final stages.”

While he said the timing is in the hands of Secretary of State John Kerry, he would not rule out an Obama announcement during the two-day summit in Panama City.

Removing Cuba from the terror list would be one of the biggest developments since Dec. 17, when Obama and Cuban President Raul Castro announced they would seek to re-establish diplomatic relations after half a century of antagonism. But Rhodes cautioned that the actual opening of embassies in Havana and in Washington by both countries was still some time off.

“When you have two countries that haven’t spoken to each other like this over 50 years, you have a lot of issues to work through,” Rhodes said in a call previewing Obama’s trip to Jamaica and then to the summit in Panama. Obama leaves for the Caribbean on Wednesday.

Among the issues that have slowed the diplomatic efforts have been Cuba’s presence on the terror list and U.S. demands that U.S. diplomats be able to interact with the Cuban people without limitations.

The normalization of relations with Cuba was to be one of the centerpieces of the summit Friday and Saturday in Panama city. The U.S. has repeatedly objected to Cuba’s participation in the periodic assembly of leaders from the Americas.

NAIROBI, Kenya – Public anger spilled into the streets of the Kenyan capital Tuesday, a fury stirred by the seven-hour delay between the time authorities learned of a deadly attack by gunmen on a college and when police commandos finally arrived at the scene.

Authorities were informed of the assault just before dawn Thursday at Garissa University College in northeastern Kenya, where four militants killed 148 people before being slain by police in the early evening.

Questions have arisen that the delayed arrival of the police could have contributed to the high death toll as the country confronts the threat from the Islamic extremists from the Somalia-based alShabab militant group.

During a demonstration by about 250 students, they passed a truck carrying security forces with red berets and rifles, and they shouted at the troops: “Where were you?”

The troops did not respond.

The students also banged

With police helicopters not operational because of mechanical problems, the Recce Squad flew the 200 miles to Garissa on two small planes that could not carry the whole unit, forcing other members to travel by road.

Once the tactical team went into the besieged campus at 5 p.m. – almost 12 hours after the attack began – its members killed the gunmen and secured the site within a half-hour. By then, 148 people were dead.

Kenya has vowed severe retaliation against al-Shabab, and its military announced Monday it had carried out airstrikes on militant camps in Somalia.

The lack of a coordinated response to an extremist attack also plagued Kenya’s security forces after al-Shabab struck Nairobi’s Westgate Mall in September 2013, killing 67 people. The army stormed the mall without checking with the Recce unit, whose members already had infiltrated the site and were closing in on the attackers.

That led to a friendly fire incident that killed one Recce officer and forced the elite police team to withdraw.

U.S. may act 23 soon to take Cuba off list of terror sponsors

Business climate plays closure role REEDER REPORT Scott Reeder SPRINGFIELD – Ever read a news story that gives you a sinking feeling because it just hits too close to home?

That’s how I was feeling the other day when I read about the steel plant closing in Granite City. About 2,100 people are out of work.

And lots of folks are asking: Is this really just a temporary closing? I hope it is.

Just over a decade ago, my hometown of Galesburg, a town about the same size as Granite City, lost 2,000 jobs when Maytag closed its refrigerator plant.

I remember hearing the pain in people’s voices as they talked about their jobs disappearing.

It was a time of navel gazing and reevaluation. Folks wanted things to get better, but they just wouldn’t. Even today, Galesburg has yet to fully recover.

Illinois factory jobs are vanishing faster than emails on Hillary Clinton’s computer.

But that’s not the case everywhere. Just look at Indiana.

Since March 2012, Indiana has added 39,000 manufacturing jobs, while Illinois has lost 2,500, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

That’s a pathetic performance on Illinois’ part. It is experiencing an exodus of jobs and people. States with lower taxes or regulations such as Indiana, Texas and Florida have been the beneficiaries of this diaspora.

Yet another Illinois steel-industry company announced this month it is moving operations elsewhere. It is jumping the border to Indiana. And it’s taking 100 new jobs with it.

South Holland-based T&B Steel Tubing will invest $5.6 million to build a brand-new facility

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

in Gary, Indiana.

Also, Romeoville-based American Stair Corp. Inc., a manufacturer of steel stairs and railings, announced in February it will be relocating to a new plant in Hammond, Indiana, by the end of the year. This will yield nearly 200 new manufacturing jobs in the border town over the next three years.

So why are businesses moving elsewhere?

Many companies prefer to operate in right-to-work states.

Recently, I had a chat with someone who promotes economic development in Iowa and Illinois for the Quad-City Chamber of Commerce.

He said it’s not uncommon for businesses seeking a site to want to build in right-to-work states. This means only Iowa sites in that bi-state region are considered for those businesses.

But Illinois is at a disadvantage in other areas as well.

One of the big areas companies executives consider are the costs of workers compensation.

Worker’s comp is the insurance employers have to buy in case an employee gets hurt on the job.

Worker’s comp rates in Illinois are among the highest in the nation. According to Springfield-based Selvaggio Steel, steel workers falling under one particular class cost Illinois manufacturers more than $14 in worker’s compensation costs per $100 of payroll. In Indiana, that number stands at just less than $5.

That’s a big cost savings that makes it difficult for the Land of Lincoln to compete.

And until we see fundamental reform in the areas of taxes, labor law and worker’s compensation, Illinois won’t compete.

ANOTHER VIEW

Time for anti-bullying strategies While previous efforts have died at the (Iowa) Statehouse, bipartisan support for substantive anti-bullying legislation is looking better this year.

“We’re pretty optimistic on bullying [legislation], and we’re very hopeful that we’re going to see it approved with bipartisan support,” Gov. Terry Branstad said during his weekly news conference last week. “Last year, we didn’t get the proposal to the Legislature until later in the session. This year, they’ve had it from the very beginning.”

Developing strategies to wipe out bullying is one important step in getting our youths through an intense stage of their lives.

We all need to invest in this endeavor.

The legislation would strengthen the commitment to address cyberbullying by explicitly including “social networking sites” in the definition of “electronic” – and stating that schools have authority to address bullying that occurs off school grounds.

In the past, the “off school grounds” language made us a little nervous.

Our principals, superintendents and teachers excel in many areas, and an added role definitely would add more to their already-full plates.

However, cyberbullying has proven tragic in multiple cases, and laws have lagged behind. Indeed, there is ample evidence cyberbullying has become the preferred type of bullying for many young people.

The proposed legislation would send the message that cyberbullying will not be tolerated.

In addition to giving schools that authority, the latest proposal would: • Require parental notification of incidents, but allows for exceptions if the victim may be threatened further.

• Create training programs for school officials and a statewide task force to provide ongoing analysis.

Nate Monson, executive director of the nonprofit Iowa Safe Schools, was

particularly supportive of the task force, saying it will help the state engage in an ongoing conversation about bullying issues.

“It’s easy to fall into doing an assembly [at school] and thinking you’re done, or buying T-shirts,” Monson said. “What you need is something systemic.”

We believe the discussions in previous sessions, in combination with the governor’s anti-bullying summits, have helped solidify the current proposals.

Left unchecked, festering social problems only can become worse. We believe that’s the case with bullying. With the advent of social media, electronic gadgets have become yet another weapon for potential bullies.

The best methods to fight bullying start in the home However, we are fully aware not all the answers are found in every home. Schools can foster an environment that makes bullying less acceptable.

Illini lefties Duchene, Jay dominating hitters VIEWS Dick Goss The Big Ten Pitcher of the Week Award is rapidly becoming the University of Illinois Pitcher of the Week Award.

Or, taking it a step further, the Joliet-area Big Ten Southpaw Pitcher of the Week Award.

The Illini’s two standout junior left-handers, Joliet Catholic graduate Kevin Duchene and Lemont graduate Tyler Jay, have dominated the Big Ten pitcher award.

Jay received his first weekly award March 9, Duchene won it March 23, and now Duchene has repeated as this week’s co-pitcher of the week.

Illinois has totaled four pitcher awards in only eight weeks, already breaking the previous school record of three set in 2002.

In Friday’s 13-inning, 3-1 victory over Northwestern, Duchene pitched nine innings without allowing an earned run. He struck out a season-high 10 Wildcats and got the key strikeouts to send the game into extra innings.

Duchene (4-1) leads the Big Ten with a 0.64 ERA and ranks second with 47 strikeouts. In 42 innings over six starts for the Illini (25-6-1, 5-1), he has allowed 31 hits and three walks. Opponents are hitting .205 against him.

Jay has had one start, with 16 of his 17 appearances in relief. He is 4-1, with eight saves and a 0.84 ERA. In 32 innings, he has yielded 16 hits and three walks while striking out 36. Opponents hit .152 against him.

Not only are Duchene and Jay hoping to get the Illini in position to contend for the Big Ten title and make a run in the postseason, pro scouts must have them on the radar with the draft looming in June. Two lefties – both with an ERA under 1.00, who have combined to walk six and strike out 83 – should interest someone.

Also at Illinois, senior Josh Ferry (Lemont), who has battled arm problems, has pitched to only a couple batters, and junior outfielder

PREP SOFTBALL: LINCOLN-WAY CENTRAL 9, JOLIET CENTRAL 0

By DICK GOSS dgoss@shawmedia.com

• Wednesday, April 8, 2015

JOLIET – When was the last time in local softball circles that a team lined into double plays in three consecutive innings?

The answer is Tuesday afternoon. That’s when Joliet Central fell victim to Lincoln-Way Central’s glove work as the Knights rolled to a 9-0 nonconference victory.

“We didn’t have any luck today with those three double plays,” Joliet Central coach Erin Douglas said. “We put the bat on the ball. What we’re missing is that spark to get the consecutive hits going.”

The Steelmen (3-5) were trailing, 5-0, but trying to get back into the game in the bottom of the second inning.

Shelby Fischer, who finished a home run shy of the cycle, tripled to left-center field with one out. Joanna Zepeda was hit by a pitch. Autumn Lawson then hit a line drive back at senior right-hander Brianna Paulsen, who went the distance for Knights (4-4) and she fired to first to double off Zepeda.

In the third inning, Selena Velasquez walked, and Ashley Hare laid down a bunt single with nobody out. Brenna Rande hit a shot at third baseman Naidelyn Medina, who made the catch and alertly tagged third for the double play. The next hitter was retired, and another Joliet Central threat was gone.

In the fourth, losing pitcher Hanna Gawenda led off with a single. Jicara Tate lined a shot to second baseman Jackie Farbak, who threw to first for another double play.

“Basically, the double plays were just all of us contributing,” Medina said. “It’s a team effort.”

Medina and catcher Colleen McLaughlin both had two of the Knights’ 10 hits. Medina slammed an RBI single and an RBI double, both with two outs in an inning. She also walked and scored two runs, once when she used her speed to barely beat the tag as a wild pitch bounced off the backstop and directly to Steelmen catcher Fischer.

two outs.

“We have quite a few freshmen. We need to see a team like this that pushes us. They’re an old-school, solid team. We have the potential to be that, too. We just have a few more things to shake up.”

Melanie Bakotic and Allison Wesel have been Lincoln-Way Central’s top two pitchers.

Paulsen pitched a few innings in Saturday, and this was her first full game as she works back from an injury.

“I tore a labrum last October,” she said. “It was a lengthy recovery. I’m thankful that I was able to get back and play softball. I was struggling a little today, but it felt all right.”

“Bri did a very good job,” Tarala said. “She did what we asked, and we fielded relatively well and hit well behind her.”

No Joliet Central batter struck out. Fischer’s three hits led a six-hit attack, and 12 Steelmen reached base. But they left only seven as they lost three on the double plays and two more on the bases.

BOYS VOLLEYBALL: PLAINFIELD CENTRAL 2, PLAINFIELD NORTH 1 (18-25, 25-18, 25-20)

By CURT HERRON cherron@shawmedia.com

“Even though we got beat pretty badly in the first set, we forgot about it and just played hard.”

Noah Randall Plainfield Central volleyball setter running the show, Hurlburt is excited to again have Gage Wuestenfeld (10 kills) in the attack, while Weslee Rogman (nine kills, six blocks) has developed into a force as a middle hitter. Central is more balanced this year after relying so heavily on Tom Poznanski last season.

“We look good so far,” Randall said. “We’re a lot more well-rounded than last season, and players like Gage and Weslee are stepping up. Last year, Tom kind of carried us; but this year, I have a lot of options with two middle, two

outsides and a right side I can go to. I like how we play hard until the end and never give up. Even though we got beat pretty badly in the first set, we forgot about it and just played hard. We play with a lot of intensity.”

In the third set, Central (51, 1-0) saw a 14-11 lead disappear as North (9-2, 0-1) scored the next five points with Jacob Stepnowski (nine kills) serving two aces. But the Wildcats answered with a 9-0 run with Rogman and Wuestenfeld each supplying two kills, and Wuestenfeld got his team’s final two kills to finish the win.

“It’s really nice to beat a conference rival, and it’s great to start off with a win,” Wuestenfeld said. “It really helps to have Noah at setter.

He’s gotten so much better and is one of the best in the state.

Wes is leaps and bounds ahead of where he was last year, and we’re a more well-rounded team. We’ve had a strong start

and did much better at Argo than we did last year. Everybody is getting better, and our new starters are stepping up.”

After controlling the opening set, the Tigers watched the Wildcats do the same in the middle game. Things seemed to be looking up for North in the finale with Yeo (three aces) directing the attack and Chris Paige (10 digs) and Patrick Crippen (eight kills, eight digs) making key contributions, but then things began to unravel and the visitors couldn’t recover.

“It was a great match, but we shot ourselves in the foot due to unforced errors,” North coach Tracey Marshall said. “One of the things that I’m most encouraged by is that they don’t give up. Even though things didn’t turn out the way we wanted them to, we fought all the way through.

There are some things that we have to get back into practice to work on.”

PLAINFIELD – A coach always pleased is when his team can overcome a tough start by making key adjustments.

That’s why Alex Hurlburt felt good about how his Plainfield Central boys volleyball team responded Tuesday against Plainfield North in a clash of two Southwest Prairie Conference favorites.

The host Wildcats bounced back from a first-set defeat to capture an 18-25, 25-18, 25-20 victory over Tigers in the SPC opener for both teams.

“In the first set, we struggled with a lot of errors – but in the second and third sets, we fought and played fundamental volleyball,” Hurlburt said. “I like to say to the guys that they just need to do their jobs and nothing more. In the first set, people were trying to do more than they were asked to do, but credit the guys since

they took what I said and applied it quickly.

“I like that we’re able to drop a pretty ugly first set and then and make the adjustments that we needed to, since a lot of teams aren’t able to do that. It wasn’t a matter of the other team playing worse; we clearly played better in the next two sets. It takes an intelligent and intentional group of guys to be able to do that, so I’m happy to have a group like that.”

The match had some interesting angles. The rematch of a sectional semifinal from a year ago featured two of the finest setters in the Chicago area in Central’s Noah Randall and North’s Shane Yeo. Each squad had lost once to Lincoln-Way West at last weekend’s Argo Invite. The Tigers fell in the finals, while the Wildcats lost in the semifinals.

Bears’ starting lineup no better than last year’s BEARS INSIDER Hub Arkush Clearly, these new Bears have been busy – you have to give them that.

In fact, they join the Falcons and Jets as being the busiest teams in the NFL, each signing 10 free agents away from other NFL teams.

To put that in perspective, 21 NFL teams have signed four or fewer veteran free agents, and only two teams besides the Bears, Falcons and Jets have signed as many as seven.

With the NFL college draft still a little more than three weeks off, there will be a lot more “fresh meat” arriving at Halas Hall. Hopefully, it will bring a significant talent upgrade with it, pointing the Bears in a new and better direction.

But with a little down time now before the next big moves, it seems a good time to ask the question: Even though the Bears are now quite different from how they were three months ago when Marc Trestman and Phil Emery got the old heave-ho, are they better?

If the season started tomorrow, what would the Bears starting lineup look like?

Realistically, the offense doesn’t look that different. Jay Cutler, Matt Forte, Alshon Jeffery, Martellus Bennett, Jermon Bushrod, Matt Slauson, Kyle Long and, we assume, Jordan Mills all will be returning starters.

For the moment, at least Marquess Wilson would step into Brandon Marshall’s spot, Eddie Royal takes over for either Santonio Holmes or Josh Morgan as the No. 3 receiver, and Will Montgomery claims Roberto Garza’s center spot.

That’s eight returning starters and three less-than-scintillating replacements.

While the Bears locker room is in much better shape, it’s impossible to claim the offense is as talented with Wilson in Marshall’s spot.

Ignoring the wild card that is Cutler, if the Bears can’t find a No. 1 wideout, a backup

The Bears acquired former Denver Broncos center Will Montgomery in free agency. Montgomery claims Roberto Garza’s spot at center. and Antrel Rolle and Ryan Mundy at safety.

The nickel most likely would have Jared Allen and Willie Young on the ends, Ratliff and Lamarr Houston at tackle, Bostic and Foster at linebacker and Alan Ball joining the starting secondary.

Do those two packages make for a better defense?

They clearly are better with Vic Fangio running the show rather than Mel Tucker, but the talent still be may lacking badly.

dropping into coverage.

Which, by the way, is the same issue that dogs every one of the top edge rushers in the draft.

Minimally, the Bears must draft at least one more five-technique, the future at nose tackle, potential starters at linebacker, another starting safety and a quality corner – nickel or starter – before Fangio’s defense is ready to contend.

It also will be hard not to grab one of the quality edge rushers in the first two rounds.

So here’s the challenge for Ryan Pace in his first draft: Find at least two Day One starters at wide receiver and safety, and eventual starters at right tackle, five technique and linebacker just to be better than last year.

It’s an awfully tall order with no room for error.

Notre Dame guard Jewell Loyd heads to the hoop as Connecticut forwards Breanna Stewart (left) and Morgan Tuck defend during the first half of the NCAA women’s Final Four tournament championship game Tuesday in Tampa, Fla. pionships over 20 years. It took Wooden 12 years to get to 10.

“I just know that in our sport, from 1995 to today, what we’ve done against our peers is as good if not better than anybody else has done in their sport against their peers,” Auriemma said. “I don’t care whether it’s harder in that sport.”

Auriemma won his title one night after fellow USA Basketball Olympic coach Mike Krzyzewski won his fifth men’s championship at Duke.

“Our Dad was very proud of Geno and Mike and how throughout their years as collegiate head basketball coaches they have diligently led their student-athletes to be successful

on the court, in the classroom and in their lives,” Wooden’s children Nan and Jim Wooden said in a statement.

Notre Dame’s Jewell Loyd did all she could to get the Irish over the top. Coach Muffet McGraw had her team back in the championship game for the fourth time in five seasons. The Irish have come up short each time, including the last two against UConn.

Notre Dame’s lone title came in 2001.

Loyd had 12 points for the Irish, going 4 for 18 from the field. She missed all eight of her shots in the second half.

The Irish (36-3) were able to slow the Huskies in the early going, not letting the Huskies get any kind of run going on offense.

Wild beat Blackhawks to clinch playoff spot

CHICAGO – Devan Dubnyk made 32 saves, and the Minnesota Wild clinched a playoff spot with a 2-1 victory Tuesday night over the Blackhawks.

Mikael Granlund and Jason Zucker scored in the third period for the Wild, who were coming off a 2-0 home loss to Winnipeg on Monday night. It was Zucker’s first game since he broke his collarbone in the first period of a 5-3 victory over Vancouver on Feb. 9.

It was quite a turnaround from Minnesota’s last visit to the Hawks in January, when it lost, 4-1, in the fifth game of a sixgame slide. That losing streak dropped the Wild to 18-19-5, but they traded for Dubnyk on Jan. 14 and the veteran goaltender helped them turn their season around.

WHAT TO WATCH NBA: Bulls at Orlando, 6 p.m., CSN Derrick Rose could return to the lineup at some point this week.

UConn beats Notre Dame, 63-53, for 3rd straight title TAMPA, Fla. – Geno Auriemma and his UConn Huskies are a perfect 10.

The Hall of Fame coach joined some elite company in UCLA’s John Wooden after tying the Wizard of Westwood with his 10th NCAA Tournament title.

Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis and Moriah Jefferson each scored 15 points Tuesday night to lead the Huskies to a 63-53 victory over Notre Dame.

It was UConn’s third straight title; Auriemma and the Huskies have won all 10 of their trips to the national championship game.

Breanna Stewart added 15 rebounds and eight points. The two-time AP Player of the Year has saved her best games for the brightest lights.

She earned most outstanding player of the Final Four honors for the third time, making her the first woman ever to achieve that. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was the only men’s player to do it when he played for Wooden’s Bruins.

She stated when she came to UConn that her goal was to win four championships. She’s now one title away from being the first to win four straight.

Stewart has been a huge reason why the Huskies have been on their won three consecutive titles. The 6-foot-4 star is the latest in a long line of outstanding UConn players that Auriemma has coached, including Rebecca Lobo, Diana Taurasi, Sue Bird and Maya Moore.

Those players have helped Auriemma win those 10 cham-

3.

Maple martini

ancakes, waffles and French toast? They’re fine, but they’re also just the start.

Because if you’re limiting maple syrup to the breakfast table, you’re missing out on all sorts of excuses to add its gentle yet distinct flavor to all manner of foods, from roasted vegetables and chicken wings to pasta sauce and ice cream sundaes. Heck, we even think it belongs at the bar (check out our maple martini idea).

It’s worth noting that the system for grading maple syrup – a classification that rates syrups on color and strength of flavor – recently was updated to make the U.S. and Canadian systems consistent. The previous system used “Fancy” and “Grade A” to indicate syrups with lighter flavors and colors, while “Grade B” was darker and more robust.

Under the new system, everything is Grade A, but descriptions have been added. The lightest syrup is now “Grade A: Golden Color with Delicate Taste” and the darkest is “Grade A: Very Dark with Strong Taste.”

When shopping for syrup, let your preferences guide you. Many people prefer a lighter syrup on pancakes and waffles, but chefs generally gravitate toward a darker, more robust maple syrup when cooking with it or using it with savory foods.

Q: Will my tinnitus make my hearing worse?

A: No. It is important to understand that tinnitus (ringing in the ears) is a symptom and not a disease in itself. One of the main causes of tinnitus is hearing loss but tinnitus does not cause hearing loss. Sometimes it seems that the ringing can be so loud that it is blocking our ability to understand conversations but it may be that hearing loss is contributing to those problems. If you have ringing in the ears you should have your hearing tested by an audiologist that specializes in tinnitus. The results of that testing will determine if further medical referral is needed and/or what treatment may be recommended to help you manage your tinnitus. There are many new options to help people find relief for their tinnitus.

Dr. Karen Pastell is a licensed audiologist in Joliet and a member of the Tinnitus Practitioners Association.

How would you treat an ankle sprain?

Foot and ankle injuries happen to all of us from time to time. Although it is sometimes hard to tell how serious an injury is at first, here is an easy guide to use until you can reach a doctor.

R.I.C.E. stands for rest, ice, compression and elevation. First, the body must be allowed to recuperate, and that calls for rest. Second, forget the heating pad, at least at first. Ice applied immediately after an injury and for several days following constricts blood vessels, reducing swelling and pain. Third, compression with a bandage also reduces swelling, as well as immobilizing the area. Finally, elevating the foot above the heart prevents blood from pooling around the injury. R.I.C.E. is first aid only, not adno=0309990 a replacement.

PUZZLES CROSSWORD

SUDOKU

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

Can they promote a fourth winner?

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Gifford Pinchot, who was a governor of Pennsylvania and the first chief of the United States Forest Service, said, “Conservation is the application of common sense to the common problems for the common good.”

By applying common sense to this bridge problem, can South conserve his contract? He is in four spades. West leads the heart ace: four, eight (start of a high-low with a doubleton), nine. West cashes the heart king: seven, three, two. West continues with a third heart, and East ruffs dummy’s queen with his spade 10. How should South continue?

The bidding has a modern slant.

North’s three-heart response is called a cue-bid raise. It shows three or more spades and at least game-invitational strength. Using this cue-bid, a jump to three spades would be pre-emptive, indicating four-card support but fewer than 10 support points. However, if you prefer to keep three spades as a game-invitational limit raise, go with it.

Note West’s third heart lead.

This had two strategies. First, ruffing away dummy’s heart queen would stop declarer gaining a later discard on it. Also, perhaps East’s trump would be high enough to effect an uppercut.

Note that both of these ideas come to fruition. South can no longer pitch his club loser on the heart queen. Also, if he overruffs the spade jack, West will gain a trump trick, and the defenders will eventually take a club for down one.

South, though, should see that if he sheds his club three under the spade 10, his contract will be safe (unless West is void in a minor). ******

plane flight or prolonged bed rest, for example – blood flow in your legs may slow. DVT is more likely in people who are bedridden and those who are recovering from surgery.

Symptoms of pulmonary embolism can include chest pain and unexplained shortness of breath or coughing.

Doctors treat a life-threatening pulmonary embolism by using clot-busting medicines. Or a doctor may use a catheter to remove the clot or deliver medicine to dissolve it.

Non-life-threatening pulmonary embolism is treated with blood thinners to keep clots from getting larger and prevent new clots from forming.

Blood thinners don’t break up blood clots that have already formed; the body dissolves most clots with time. But the blood thinner will be necessary for several months or longer.

To reduce your risk for DVT and pulmonary embolism: • Avoid sitting motionless for long periods of time.

• If you must sit, flex your calves, ankles and thighs from time to time to keep the blood flowing.

• Drink a lot of water.

• Walk around frequently during long plane flights or car trips.

• Get out of bed and move around as soon as possible after having surgery or being ill.

If you’ve already had DVT or pulmonary embolism, ask your doctor about compression stockings.

They can help keep blood in the legs from pooling and clotting.

Dear Doctor K: What is a pulmonary embolism?

Dear Reader: A pulmonary embolism occurs when a blood clot (called an embolus) suddenly blocks a blood vessel in the lung. A small pulmonary embolus can happen without causing any symptoms, but a large pulmonary embolus can suddenly threaten your life.

To explain pulmonary embolism, let’s begin with a refresher on the circulation of blood in our bodies.

Blood carries nutrients (like oxygen and sugar) to the cells of our body and removes waste material from the cells. The blood circulates because of the pumping action of the heart.

There are two circuits. One circuit pumps oxygen-poor blood to the lungs, where it picks up oxygen. The second circuit pumps oxygen-rich blood throughout the body through “pipes” called arteries. When oxygen leaves the blood to enter the cells, the blood becomes oxygen-poor. That oxygen-poor blood returns to the heart through pipes called veins.

Blood flows more slowly through veins than through arteries.

Sometimes clots form in the slowly moving blood, especially if the flow is slower than usual. This is a condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT).

Usually, DVT occurs in the veins of the legs. Part of the clot can break away and travel through veins to the heart, and then on to the lungs.

There, it travels through progressively narrower blood vessels. When the size of the clot is larger than the width of the blood vessel, it gets stuck in the blood vessel. (I’ve put an illustration on my website, AskDoctorK.com.)

DVT may cause pain or swelling of the legs. It is usually the result of extended inactivity. If you are inactive for many hours – during a long air-

Dear Abby: I’m the mother of an 18-year-old daughter. Her dad and I are divorced and she lives with him. We were married 20 years and I know he’s a good parent, except for one thing. My daughter has told me her father and his partner sometimes engage in very loud lovemaking when she’s in her room, and it embarrasses her. She’s shy to begin with, so she hasn’t said anything to him.

I feel angry and frustrated because I don’t know if I should say something to him about it. I have suggested she put on some loud music or use headphones if she can’t bring this up with him. I think she wants me to intercede, but I don’t feel it’s my business to do so. Can these adults be that clueless?

Please help. – Carol on the

Real Life Adventures

Dear Carol: Yes, adults can be that “clueless.” Her father and his partner may not realize how much noise they make. Headphones and turning on loud music are good suggestions. But remember that clear communication is important in relationships both personal and professional.

At 18, your daughter is old enough to start speaking up for herself. Encourage her to talk about this problem privately with her father. But if she can’t, then you should handle this for her.

Dear Abby: My husband had an affair 18 years ago. We worked through it and are doing well in our marriage.

My question concerns my mother-in-law and sister-inlaw, both of whom continue to remain in contact with the “other woman.” They still worship at the same church, bought her baby gifts, etc. I have mentioned how it hurts me that they are Facebook friends with her, but it has fallen on deaf ears. I know they have known her longer

than me, but I am FAMILY. Abby, I would like to know if I am crazy for letting this bother me. Should I let it go?

I have forgiven my husband, but what they are doing makes it hard for me at times.

What should I do? – My Heart

Hurts

Dear Heart Hurts: By now you should have realized that you can’t control your husband’s mother or sister. That they chose to continue to maintain their relationship with this woman in spite of the fact that she nearly wrecked your marriage is regrettable.

But all this happened 18 years ago, and your marriage survived it. If you can let this go, I think you should. A wise person once said that we can be as happy as we choose to be. Lessen your emotional dependence on your in-laws, and I predict you will be happier.

Dear Abby: I find it difficult to lie. This trait suits me well except in one area. When friends or family share information about being ill, experiencing a death or any sort of tragedy, almost everyone else responds with, “You’re in my prayers.”

I am an atheist and do not claim I will pray for those individuals because that would be lying. So what is the proper response when prayer is off the table? – Texas Reader Dear Reader: A proper response would be, “I’m sorry for what you’re going through,” “I’ll send positive thoughts for So-and-So’s recovery,” or, “How sad. I’m sorry to hear it.”
