JOLIET – The lime green comforter police found wrapped around Monica Timar’s body in the trunk of her Mustang was put there two days before her death. “I saw it when [Monica]did laundry at my house. ... I don’t recall if she or I put it in the trunk,” Dawn Keller testified Tuesday. “It didn’t have [any significance]. It was just a comforter.” Brian Trainauskas, 40, is accused of killing Timar with a shotgun in January 2009. He faces charges of murder and concealing a homicide in a bench trial before Judge Dave Carlson. Timar’s body and car were found Jan. 23, 2009, in the 21000 block of South 78th Avenue in Frankfort Township. Defense attorneys have said Timar was despondent and suicidal over financial issues and losing her job, and although Trainauskas allowed his friend access to his Frankfort Township home, he is not responsible for her death. Will County Sheriff’s Deputy Julie Budde testified Tuesday she was one of the evidence technicians who examined the Mustang. “I saw a human torso and legs inside the trunk. There was a comforter over the

upper half of the body,” Budde said. Budde said she found a set of keys inside the car and a cell phone behind the body in the trunk. Defense attorney James Sarros noted Timar’s wallet also was found in the trunk with $131 inside. Keller testified she met Timar through a dating website in the spring of 2008. She recalled meeting Trainauskas once at a Christmas party held by Timar’s friends. Keller said Timar stayed at her Bourbonnais home Jan. 18 and 19, 2009, and Brian Trainauskas asked to stay again the next night, but Keller had an early meeting the next morning. Prosecutors believe Timar went to Trainauskas’ house instead. When Keller was unable to reach Timar on the phone the next day, she notified Timar’s sister, who called police. “She had told you she’d hit herself on the head with a hammer (the previous week). ... You sent a text (reminding her) she’d promised on her mother’s life not to hurt herself,” defense attorney George Andrews asked Keller. “She would not have harmed herself. I didn’t think she would commit suicide,” Keller said. “We told [the police she was

potentially suicidal] when we reported her missing because she was 36 years old and the police would not look further if we hadn’t mentioned that.” Trainauskas allegedly gave statements to police that implicated him in Timar’s death, but an appellate court has ruled the statements can only be used if the defendant himself testifies. He also allegedly told investigators he went to an Alcoholic Anonymous meeting in Mokena on the day Timar disappeared. A man who attended those meetings daily testified telling detectives that wasn’t true. “I remember saying that he wasn’t there, yes,” the man told Assistant Will County State’s Attorney Dan Walsh. The witness, however, said after six years he did not recall telling detectives he hadn’t seen Trainauskas at a meeting for at least two months. Trainauskas also is accused of trying to hire another inmate at the Will County Jail to kill an assistant state’s attorney. This inmate also would allegedly force another person to confess to Timar’s slaying, prosecutors said, and then subsequently kill that person. That case awaits resolution of this trial, which could earn Trainauskas a life sentence behind bars.

WHERE IT’S AT

Hawk planning two new dealership sites By BOB OKON bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Hawk Auto Group is making plans to construct two new dealership buildings on Jefferson Street in Joliet if a deal to buy Bill Jacobs is completed. Hawk would build a Subaru dealership at 2200 W. Jefferson St. A Mazda dealership would be built at an unidentified location on West Jefferson Street. “We’re doing planning,” said John Crane, co-owner and president of Hawk Auto Group. “We need to present franchise plans to the manufacturers to get their approval.” Crane said he could not discuss details of a pending acquisition of Bill Jacobs. But the plans for new dealership buildings have become public because Hawk needs a special-use permit from the city for the future Subaru site. The Joliet Zoning Board of Appeals on May 21 is set to consider a special-use permit for the Subaru site, where a

closed auto parts store stands now. On Tuesday, work was being done inside the building. No plans have been submitted for a separate Mazda dealership. But Crane said that franchise, too, would get a new building if the acquisition is completed. “There will be new construction if the deal goes through,” he said. “There will be a building for Subaru and a new building for Mazda.” Bill Jacobs Subaru is at 2525 W. Jefferson St., the same location as the dealer’s Kia dealership. The pending Bill Jacobs deal reported to employees in March would sell the Kia dealership to Scott Falcone, owner of World Hyundai in Matteson. That would mean two separately owned dealerships would share the same property if one did not move. Bill Jacobs in 2013 brought the city plans for building a new Kia dealership across the street from its Chevrolet-Cadillac franchise, which is at 2001 W. Jefferson St. But

the project did not move forward. Bill Jacobs Mazda also is located at 2001 W. Jefferson St., but would move to another location if the sale goes through. Crane would not identify the possible location for a new Mazda dealership, but said it would be on West Jefferson Street. Kendall Jackson, planning director for Joliet, said Hawk representatives have discussed their plans with the city, including a new Jefferson Street site for Mazda. “As part of the deal, what they need to do is provide separate buildings for some of the dealerships,” Jackson said. If the Zoning Board approves the special-use permit, it would next go to the City Council for approval. Hawk Auto Group arrived in Joliet in December, when the dealership network acquired the Volkswagen franchise on Jefferson Street from D’Arcy Motors. Other Hawk dealerships are in Bridgeview, Forest Park and Oak Lawn.

PLAINFIELD EDUCATOR

Local teacher claims Golden Apple Award Parrott: ‘It’s a big shock. I’m very honored.’ By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – Lee Parrott was in tears when his family, school staff and others surprised him with an award given to the top teachers in the state. He was in the middle of giving a reading and writing exercise for his second-grade students – as well as mentoring a kindergarten student teacher – in a small classroom at Wesmere Elementary School on Tuesday when the surprise came through the front door. School staff, teachers and his family poured into the classroom bearing a large red sign saying he was a recipient of the Golden Apple Award for Excellence in Teaching. He clasped his face with his hands as he began to cry and gave a heavy sigh. “I’m very humbled and touched by this. … It’s a big shock. I’m very honored,” he said after hugging everyone who came. Tuesday was more than a day Parrott won the award – it also was his 46th birthday. His students crowded around him and sang “Happy Birthday.” Parrott has said he never dreamed of being a teacher until he developed a passion that led to his 15-year career at Wesmere. His work during that time culminated in him becoming one of only 10 to be honored this year by Golden Apple, a nonprofit education organization. More than 600 teachers in the Chicago area were nominated. The award is given to outstanding Illinois teachers each year. As part of the award, teachers receive a paid

They also receive a $5,000 award and induction into the Golden Apple Academy of Educators. Barbara Cataldo, a Golden Apple mentor who came to surprise Parrott with the news Tuesday, said he was a “quiet giant” who does more than teach students, even attending the high school graduations of his past students. “He understands teach-

ing inside and out,” she said. “He’s got the heart and soul of teaching. It’s not about him. It’s about the children, the families and the community.” Golden Apple members praised Parrott for fostering a positive environment in his classroom, where students thrive on optimistic thinking and team-building activities. His classroom motto is “the more you use your brain, the more brain you will have to

use.” Parrott is one of two Golden Apple winners in Plainfield School District 202 history, and one of three finalists for the award since 2008. Wesmere Principal Denise Vershay said Parrott’s signature as an educator is building relationships with students and instilling confidence in them.

U.S. Marine Corps band rocks out Plainfield East High School students enjoy hourlong performance Tuesday By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – Chipp Corderman rocked out on the guitar to a crowd of Plainfield East High School students – all while wearing a U.S. Marine Corps dress uniform. Corderman was jamming with the San Diego U.S. Marine Corps Jazz Combo Tuesday at the Plainfield high school, where he showed the students what jazz, funk and some rock music sounded like coming from members of the military. Many of them approved, with excited cheers and applause. With him were Marine Corps musicians Devin Penner, Will Pierce, Matt Herr and Tyler Van Dam, all of whom hail from California, Virginia, Wisconsin and Kentucky. “I don’t want to say we’re the best musicians in the band, but we have a particular skill set and we’re the only ones who play what you see now,” said Pierce, who played bass guitar. The Jazz Combo came to the high school as musical ambassadors for the Marine Corps, to support recruiting efforts and supplement the school’s music program, said William Kilian, staff sergeant and musician placement director for the 9th U.S. Marine Corps district. “We absolutely love it,” Kilian said about bringing the band to Plainfield. “… It shows who we are and shows music has a voice in the military.” Plainfield East invited all band and choir students, as well as students from John F. Kennedy and Indian Trail middle schools. During the hourlong performance, band members answered questions from students, such as how long they practice and their songs. When asked if they go into battle, Pierce said “we are trained to do that.” The band also held a master

DAILY FORECAST

By LAUREN LEONE-CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Will County officials say they could support an amendment in the works in the Illinois statehouse designed to lessen the financial blow of a new state law requiring juror pay hikes. “It’s certainly better than it was,” Will County Court Administrator Kurt Sangmeister told members of the Will County Board’s Legislative & Policy Committee on Tuesday. The latest development follows months of worry – and push back – from Will County officials and others statewide who argued the pay raise is an unfunded state mandate because Illinois lawmakers provided no funding mechanism and expected counties to pick up the tab. If nothing is done, estimates show the pay increases could burn a more-

than-$300,000 hole in the county’s budget in the first year. The draft legislation obtained by The Herald-News has yet to be filed and still is being vetted and discussed among working groups. But the draft increases juror pay from the current $4 to $10 per day to $20 the first two days and $30 for each subsequent day. That’s still a raise – but it’s not as substantial as the pay raises outlined in the original legislation approved last-minute during last year’s veto session. That bill increased juror pay to $25 for the first day and $50 each successive day. Sangmeister said the amendment reduces the estimated increased expense by about $125,000 annually for the county. The amendment also gives county boards the authority to enact a juror service fee up to $15 if an “acceptable cost

study” proves the fee is necessary to defray the costs. Parties demanding a jury trial would pay that fee. The new legislation also allows county boards the authority to include travel, meal, parking and other expenses in the pay given to jurors. Katy Lawrence, executive director for Metro Counties of Illinois, said a working group consisting of Senate Democrat leadership, the Illinois Trial Lawyers Association and other parties is meeting later this week to discuss the amendment. She said she anticipates a vote within the coming weeks before the legislative spring session ends May 31. Lawrence said the original legislation was “rammed through” during last year’s veto session, leaving little time for counties to react. The bill also reduces the number of civil jurors from 12 to six.

JOLIET – Tom Joseph, a local watchdog for homeowners and real estate agents, is accusing Will County’s Land Use Department of conducting preliminary home inspections beyond the scope of individual permit applications – a practice he believes to be overreaching. “If someone puts in (an application) for permit work, that’s the work that should be inspected,” said Joseph, who serves as the government affairs director for the Illinois Association of Realtors and the Three Rivers Realtors Association. Joseph raised concerns earlier this spring to the Will County Board’s Land Use and Development Com-

mittee, saying the practice violates a homeowners’ Fourth Amendment rights. “We don’t believe that’s the intent of the law,” he said. But Will County Land Use Director Curt Paddock pushed back against the accusations Tuesday during a meeting of the Land Use and Development Committee. He pointed to the 2012 International Residential Code adopted by the County Board last year. The code states that “before issuing a permit, the building official is authorized to examine or cause to be examined buildings, structures and sites for which an application has been filed.” The department does not conduct inspections without

the homeowners’ consent, he said. If a code violation is “in plain sight” during a pre-inspection, the official has a right to cite it as a violation, he said. For example, if someone applies for a permit to put in a new water heater, he said, and the building official notices a live wire sparking while walking down the steps of the basement, that’s fair game. “Their perspective is ‘You should have had blinders on,’ ” Paddock said. At Tuesday’s meeting, committee member Steve Balich, R-Homer Glen, spoke out against the Land Use Department’s interpretation of the code.

MOKENA – Police reportedly caught two Joliet men burglarizing a construction site Tuesday morning. Mokena Police Chief Steven Vaccaro said the Clarendale, a senior complex under construction in the 21500 block of South Wolf Road, also was broken into Anthony between Sunday W. Lukas night and Monday morning. “Because of (the previous burglary), one of our officers checked it while he was on patrol Dwayne and found a vehi- L. Jones cle in the rear of the building about 4:30 a.m.,” Vaccaro said. Additional officers were called to the scene and Anthony W. Lukas, 24, was tak-

en into custody near an open patio door, while another man fled back into the building, according to Vaccaro. Police set up a perimeter around the area and began searching with canine units around 7 a.m. At about 10:40 a.m., police found Dwayne L. Jones, 24, “hiding in the rafters in a third-floor attic,” Vaccaro said. Joliet, Orland Park, Tinley Park, New Lenox, Frankfort, Manhattan, Will County Sheriff’s and Will County Forest Preserve police assisted Mokena during the search. “There was some damage to the site and doors inside. There was a lot of material inside, so they are doing inventory right now to determine what was taken,” Vaccaro said. Jones, of the 300 block of North Broadway, and Lukas, of the 0 to 100 block of East Cass Street, were arrested and booked into the Will County Jail on burglary charges.

By BOB OKON bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The city of Joliet will put a dozen young people to work this summer. A youth employment program was proposed by a few candidates during the recent election campaign, and one of the winners said she hopes to see the city offer more job opportunities this summer and in the future. “It’s going to start out small, but we can build on that,” said

District Four Councilwoman Bettye Gavin. Her district includes East Side neighborhoods where youth employment was raised as an issue. Gavin recently called for the city to develop a youth employment program. She said Thursday she will meet with City Manager Jim Hock to discuss ideas, including putting young people to work on basic jobs around the city. Hock said the city still has four openings this summer for the Public Works Department.

This will be the second year the city hired summer help for street work, including patching potholes and filling pavement cracks. But Hock cautioned the city is reluctant to hire people under the age of 18 for the jobs, since they typically involve using power equipment.

JOLIET – The Joliet Fire Department will enter the first phase of its annual hydrant testing beginning Monday. The testing program will be Monday through Friday between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m., according to a city news release. The hydrant testing will continue for about five weeks, depending on the weather. During this phase, testing will be in the following areas: • The area bounded by Interstate 80 to the north, Des Plaines River to the west, Cherry Hill Road to the east and Manhattan Road to the south • The area bounded by

Theodore Street to the north, Des Plaines River to the east, Larkin Avenue to the west and I-80 to the south The fire department will take precautions to reduce the effect of possible rusty water, the city said. The city will provide a chemical that removes rust from clothes in a washing machine, but residents should not dry affected clothes until they have been run through a rinse cycle that includes this chemical. The chemical will be available for free at any Joliet fire station. Those without transportation should call the Joliet Water Department at 815-724-4220, or the Joliet Fire Department at 815-724-3500.

Meanwhile, this also will be the first year Joliet takes on four people from the Joliet Job Corps for a summer cleanup project downtown. Equipped with a power washer, the crew will focus on street and sidewalk cleaning and could move on to other parts of the city. The Joliet Job Corps crew won’t cost Joliet any money. They are employed through a federal program.

and started volunteering in the village’s audio-visual department since he was 14. Fay has accepted a position at ABC-7 Chicago and is leaving his chief engineer position with the village. “It’s not a pain for me to honor this young man. It’s a pain to me he’s leaving us,” Chapman said. Fay graduated from Columbia College this semester and has worked part-time with the college, ABC 7, WCIU and ESPN. Fay was interested in audio-visual equipment since he was a kid. He developed an interest on a school trip to the old village hall and became parttime employee in the village’s TV department in 2008. Since then, he was promoted to SCCTV Channel 6 station director. He helped upgrade the village’s system and equipment. “All the help and support from you guys has helped me along the way, and to develop my professional attitude” Fay told trustees and the staff, thanking them for the opportunity to serve the village.

standby generator?

An automatic standby generator is a back up electrical system that operates whether you are home or away. Within seconds of an outage, it automatically supplies power directly to your home’s electrical circuit breaker box. After utility power returns, the generator shuts itself off and waits for the next outage. It operates on natural gas or liquid propane gas and it sits outside just like a central air conditioning unit.

Grundy County hires new administrator By HEIDI LITCHFIELD hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – The search for a new county administrator has come to an end in Grundy County with the board approving the hiring of Doug Pryor on Tuesday night. “We accepted several applications from interested people,” Board Chairman David Welter said Tuesday. “We interviewed the people who met the requirements and feel that Doug’s vast knowledge in economics and budgeting set him apart.” Pryor will be leaving his current position as vice president of the Grundy Economic Development Council to accept the position with the county starting June 1. Former County Administrator Dan Duffy also joined the county from the GEDC in 2007. The board approved the hiring after a brief executive session with a 14 to 1 vote with Millie Dyer voting no and Deb-

ra Warning, Ann Gill and Michael Onorato absent. Dyer also voted against the recommendation during the personnel meeting because she didn’t feel he was the right person for the job. The county has had four administrators since 2011. Pryor will be paid $90,000 a year and given two weeks vacation to start, with a third week of vacation added after the first year. The finance committee approved in March going up to $100,000 for the candidate selected. Welter said there also is a severance and termination clause in the contract that requires the county to give Pryor a 60-day notice for a noncause termination. Pryor is a graduate of Minooka Community High School and has lived in Morris for the past 14 years. “It’s a great opportunity to work with this group,” Pryor said Tuesday. “I have the experience with industry in

Grundy County and I have a finance and economic background I feel will benefit the county.” He said he feels his role is to get information in front of the board members so they can make the important decisions that they are faced with. “The role of administrator is to help others do their job better,” he said. In addition to his role at the GEDC, Pryor also has taught Economics at Dominican University in River Forest. Pryor publicly thanked GEDC CEO Nancy Ammer, who was present at the board meeting, for her mentoring while he was with the GEDC. He said his experience in the classroom will benefit his job because it has helped him to learn how to articulate complex situations so that they are easily understood. “I’m not here to put my opinions into it,” he said Tuesday. “My job is to get good information in front of the board to help them do their job.”

Morici Jr., managing partner and lead counsel, said in the release. Calls to Clayco, Union Pacific, Bandit Industries and to Inland Logistics Port were not immediately returned Tuesday.

NEW LENOX

Board ready to tackle next four years By SARWAT S. AHMAD Shaw Media Correspondent NEW LENOX – New Lenox village trustees say after a “humbling election” they are ready to tackle the next four years, with Mayor Tim Baldermann at the helm. Baldermann, as well as re-elected trustees Nancy Dye, David L. Butterfield, Keith C. Madsen and newcomer Emily Johnson, took their oaths of office at Monday’s Village Board meeting. Baldermann starts his third, four-year term. Dye, Butterfield and Madsen also start four-year terms. Johnson won a two-year seat to fill the unexpired term of Ray Tuminello, who left last year to join the Will County Board. Johnson was temporarily appointed to that trustee position by Baldermann late

last year. “We are seven individuals with seven different minds, but one thing we have in common is that we want to serve the best interests of the residents of New Lenox,” Baldermann said. Baldermann also thanked the village’s administrative staff for “incredible service.” “I can’t do it alone. … It takes the entire team of 100 plus staff members,” he said. Baldermann then thanked the residents who had voted for him and told the ones who didn’t, “I’m gonna work a little harder.” Dye, Butterfield, Madsen and Johnson all said that they were “humbled” to be elected and praised Baldermann for his leadership. Dye described Baldermann as a hard-working, modest man.

“It’s not as easy to sit up here as it looks,” said Butterfield. “It takes a lot of work. It’s a slow-moving process.” Madsen also thanked the administrative staff, saying “they make us look good.” Johnson said “it is wonderful to be part of a great team” and that she is “excited for what’s to come.”

Assisted-living increase

Separately, the board is considering approval of an ordinance to amend an annexation agreement with the Cottages of New Lenox, an assisted-living and memory care facility on Cedar Road, south of Illinois Highway. The change would allow the maximum number of residents to increase from 100 to 125. The board will vote on the measure at its next regular meeting.

COAL CITY – A lawsuit has been filed against five companies in the death of Russell Bull, a 50-year-old Coal City construction laborer killed last June while clearing trees for a construction project. Bull was killed while he and other construction crew members cleared trees June 10. Employees of D Construction of Coal City were at a project site in a field south of Coal City and east of Broadway Street. Bull was killed when a metal object came off the wood chipper being used at the site, Grundy County Coroner John Callahan reported at the time. The object flew through the air and struck Bull. The property the construction crew was clearing was going to be the site of a railroad spur off the Union Pacific

Railroad Main Line, servicing a storage and shipping hub, according to a news release from the law firm Morici, Figlioli & Associates of Chicago, which is representing the Bull estate. The lawsuit names Clayco, Inland Logistics Port Coal City, Union Pacific Railroad, Marquette Properties, Bandit Industries and Performance First. Valerie Bull is named as the administrator of Bull’s estate. Bull was a father of two. “Mr. Bull was killed when a Brush Bandit wood chipper manufactured by Bandit Industries Inc., and Performance First, Inc, due to alleged design defects, allowed its highspeed rotating cutting wheel to impact a protective steel cover, propelling the cover approximately 50 feet into the decedent’s head and chest,” according to the release.

Alternatives also presented Tuesday to committee Paddock said during Tuesday’s meeting that there’s concern the Land Use Department is conducting preliminary inspections “triggered by the current or proposed ‘for sale’ status

of a property.” “That’s simply not true,” he said, noting that the only condition triggering pre-inspections is a property owner’s permit application.

abandoned properties; structures significantly damaged by natural disaster; and properties where work commenced without a proper permit. That still would allow Paddock and his staff to conduct pre-inspections for insurance claims and that residents, before making additions to a home, can ensure they are in a safe structure.

“If someone comes and inspects my house, that’s one thing. But when I apply for a permit, the person should be allowed to only inspect what that was for and nothing else,” Balich said. “That’s way, way out of our boundaries.”

But Joseph alleges the department “on three occasions” attempted to or conducted presale home inspections – a program not adopted by the county. Alternatives were presented at the county’s Land Use and Development Committee on Tuesday. One option would limit the department’s use of preliminary code inspections to foreclosed,

Zinsser, author of ‘On Writing Well,’ dies at 92 By HILLEL ITALIE The Associated Press NEW YORK – William Zinsser, the much-consulted teacher, author, journalist and essayist whose million-selling book “On Writing Well” championed the craft of nonfiction and inspired professionals and amateurs to express themselves more concisely and vividly, died Tuesday at age 92. Zinsser died at his Manhattan home after a brief illness, said his wife, Caroline Fraser Zinsser. A newspaper and magazine reporter into his 40s, Zinsser became a mentor for countless authors, journalists and would-be writers. “On Writing Well,” published in 1976 and praised by The New York Times as worthy of “The Elements of Style,” caught on first among college students and professors, then with the general public, selling more than 1 million copies. At Yale University, where Zinsser taught creative nonfiction in the 1970s, his students included such future stars as Christopher Buckley, Jane Mayer and Mark Singer. But Zinsser also valued the business executive trying to compose more understandable memos, the lawyer with a life story to share, the church volunteer eager to document her good work. He loved teaching those without special talent, he once explained, and helping them “solve their problems.” Working on an old typewriter, Zinsser wrote more than a dozen other books, including “Writing to Learn,” ‘’Writing With a Word Processor” and the memoir “Writing Places.” He also advised government agencies and corporations, played jazz piano, wrote songs and served as executive editor of the Book-of-the-Month Club. In recent years, he wrote an online column for The American Scholar and taught at Columbia University and The New School for Social Research. After his eyesight failed, he invited students to his apartment and listened to

them read from their work. In firm but friendly style, he bore down upon cliches, pomposities and euphe misms. Politicians, ever at war against plain speech, were easy culprits. He cited Elliot Richardson, a top Republican official in the 1970s, for uttering the most convoluted sentence in memory: “And yet, on balance, affirmative action has, I think, been a qualified success.” Zinsser was exacting and open-minded. Good writing, he believed, could come from fiction or nonfiction. He praised the history books of David McCullough and Robert Caro, the journalism of Joan Didion, the sports columns of Red Smith. He welcomed anyone able to write with “vigor, clarity and humanity.” “If nonfiction is where you do your best writing, or your best teaching of writing, don’t be buffaloed into the idea that it’s an inferior species,” he suggested. “The only important distinction is between good writing and bad writing.” Other prescriptions: Contractions are fine if they set a more conversational tone. Active verbs work better than passive verbs. Keep paragraphs brief and use words that are “short and strong.” Zinsser, the youngest of four siblings, was born in New York in 1922, the presumed heir to a shellac company his grandfather founded. But journalism was his calling. He taught himself to type and credited his mother with his appreciation for prose writing, remembering how she would clip articles she liked from newspapers. He attended Princeton University, but in his sophomore year the U.S. went to war and he left for the military. He served in Italy and Africa during World War II and was assigned to write histories of his Army unit. The war would teach him that he could write anywhere, including in a desert tent, hot sand blowing through the flaps.

Plaintiffs in civil cases weigh in on tort reform idea

SPRINGFIELD – Plaintiffs in medical malpractice and wrongful death cases say limits should not be placed on jury awards, as Illinois lawmakers started debating whether to make changes to the state’s tort reform law. Democratic House Speaker Michael Madigan called a meeting Tuesday afternoon of the Illinois House to hear testimony on tort cases as part of an effort to poke holes in Gov. Bruce Rauner’s priorities. The GOP governor has made tort reform a component of his pro-business agenda. He said it’s a way to save employers money. Experts told lawmakers at Tuesday’s hearing about 4,000 deaths in Illinois come from medical mistakes. Fewer than 300 of those deaths annually will lead to a malpractice lawsuit, with the vast majority ending in settlements.

Northern community wages debate over fracking center

EARLVILLE – Despite a lack of progress on the project, a small northern town still is at odds over a proposed transportation center to ship and store a central ingredient of hydraulic fracturing, also known as fracking. The Earlville City Council approved a plan by Houston-based EOG Resources Inc., an international oil and gas company, to build a multimillion-dollar facility for silica sand on a 230-acre farm field. Some community leaders, such as Earlville’s school Superintendent Wade Winekauf, also support it because of potential economic benefits, including job creation and increased tax

The Welsh government commissioned Carney for 1,000 pounds ($1,488) to build the castle after seeing his work on other LEGO castles including a previous one he constructed for it. As with the previous Welsh castle, this one also be the subject of a promotional tourism video, and the LEGO model will stretch more than 9 feet long and rise to a height of several feet. When completed, the LEGO Caernarfon will be exhibited at the Brickworld show in Schaumburg on June 20 and 21.

revenue, the Chicago Tribune reported. The plan has drawn plenty of opposition from people who worry it would present a public health threat to the community. Because the transport center would involve the loading and unloading of silica sand, residents are concerned that dozens of wind turbines in the area will cause the sand and dust to blow throughout town.

O’Fallon’s stone veterans memorial found shattered

O’FALLON – Police in southern Illinois are investigating how a stone veterans memorial ended up knocked over and shattered. Authorities said it happened Sunday night or early Monday at the O’Fallon City Veterans Monument. City employees found

the two tablets damaged. Police are trying to find out if it was vandals or some sort of natural occurrence, such as high winds. O’Fallon Mayor Gary Graham said weather experts are examining the site, and so are insurance examiners. A $1,000 reward is being offered for information. Officials said it will cost more than $10,000 to replace the tablets. The damage comes just two weeks before the city’s annual Memorial Day celebration. But Graham said the city won’t cancel its plans and, in fact, “maybe more people will come because of this.”

New technology to cut bus ‘bunching’ in Chicago

CHICAGO – Chicago Transit Authority officials said they

have a new tool to reduce bus “bunching” and long waits between buses. The new technology is known as the Bus Transit Management System. It allows real-time monitoring of buses and better communication between drivers and the CTA control center. The system allows the control center to give drivers instructions to help spread out buses along routes and keep them on schedule. Officials said a recent test of the system improved performance on nine busy South Side routes. All of Chicago’s roughly 1,800 city buses will be equipped with the technology by later this summer. CTA officials said the nearly $9 million system will be paid for with federal funding.

National Guardsmen to serve with Polish team in Afghanistan

SPRINGFIELD – Five soldiers from the Army National Guard base in Springfield will deploy to Afghanistan as part of a specialized team that will train with Polish soldiers. The 20-year partnership with Poland is part of an effort to secure international relationships and to develop the military skills of National Guard soldiers. The five are expected to train at Fort Bliss in Texas before heading overseas. Their mission allows National Guard soldiers to deploy side-by-side with counterparts from Poland. Officials said soldiers from across the state were selected. The team is expected to return to Illinois in spring 2016.

NATION BRIEFS Jurors’ questions hit heart contentious issue dealing with countries that manipulate their of theater shooting trial

CENTENNIAL, Colo. – A neuroscience professor almost was finished testifying about the Colorado theater shooter’s lackluster lab performance when a juror scrawled out a question, passed to the judge on a slip of paper: Did James Holmes ever seem disconnected from reality? It was one of more than 100 questions jurors have asked of witnesses in the first two weeks of Holmes’ death penalty trial, showing they’re already cutting through descriptions of mayhem in the theater to grapple with the central question they will have to answer: Was Holmes legally insane when he began shooting? Most states don’t allow jurors to be so active. Colorado is one of three that require judges to allow jurors to query witnesses. At least six states forbid the practice. Others let judges decide. Holmes’ jurors are using this privilege liberally.

currency, but it was unclear whether that would resolve the impasse. Tuesday’s vote highlighted the deep divide between Obama and the many congressional Democrats who say such trade deals hurt U.S. jobs. Leading the fight against fast track are labor unions and liberal groups, which are crucial to many Democrats’ elections.

Obama library locale a lift to Chicago hometown’s S. Side By DON BABWIN and CARYN ROUSSEAU The Associated Press CHICAGO – President Barack Obama will establish his presidential library on the South Side of Chicago, a part of the city where his political career began and where some of the issues that he plans to devote himself to when he leaves the White House are playing out on the streets. The Barack Obama Foundation made official Tuesday what had been widely expected, that the library will be erected on a site proposed by the University of Chicago. The location was selected over bids made by Columbia University in New York, the University of Hawaii and the University of Illinois at Chicago. “With a library and a foundation on the South Side of Chicago, not only will we be able to encourage and effect change locally, but what we can also do is to attract the world to Chicago,” Obama said in a video

accompanying the release. “All the strands of my life came together and I really became a man when I moved to Chicago.” The library, to be in one of two public parks near campus, is expected to be a boon to nearby communities that struggle with gang violence, drugs and unemployment. The University of Chicago has said the library and its 800,000 expected visitors a year will translate into dozens of new businesses, thousands of jobs and tens of millions of dollars in revenue. While the choice was not a surprise – people with direct knowledge of the decision told The Associated Press and other media almost two weeks ago that it was the winner – sewing up the deal was less smooth than expected. Questions lingered for months about whether the library could legally be built on park land as the university proposed, because the university had not secured the land.

Those questions triggered a flurry of activity, with the City Council approving an ordinance to transfer the land and state lawmakers passing a bill reinforcing the city’s right to use the park land for the library as well as “Star Wars” creator George Lucas’ proposed lakefront museum. But the bid still was considered a front-runner, in large part because the president once taught constitutional law at the university, the first lady once worked as an administrator at the University of Chicago Medical Center, and they still have a family home nearby. In the video, Obama cited Chicago as the place he was able to apply his “early idealism to try to work in communities in public service” as well as being where he met his wife and their children were born. Added first lady Michelle Obama: “Every value, every memory, every important relationship to me exists in Chicago. I consider myself a South Sider.”

No breakthrough as Kerry meets with Russia’s Putin By MATTHEW LEE and BRADLEY KLAPPER The Associated Press

• Wednesday, May 13, 2015

SOCHI, Russia – The United States and Russia emerged Tuesday from their most extensive, high-level talks in years vowing closer cooperation on Ukraine and Syria but unable to point to any breakthrough or new approach to bridge the major differences separating the two powers. The atmosphere was cordial and the tone was promising as U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry held eight hours of talks with President Vladimir Putin and his foreign minister in the Black Sea resort of Sochi. Kerry’s first trip to Russia since the Ukraine crisis began coincided with the 70th anniversary of the allied defeat of Nazi Germany, and both sides hailed the virtues of U.S.-Russian engagement. “We didn’t come here with an expectation that we were going to define a specific path forward ... or have a major breakthrough,” Kerry told reporters at a news conference with Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. “We came here specifically to

have a very full and open dialogue.” The result appeared to be to the liking of Moscow, which had spoken of Kerry’s trip as a possibility for “normalizing” relations that have been soured by the civil wars in Ukraine and Syria as well as Russia’s treatment of political dissidents and homosexuals and its granting of asylum to former U.S. National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden. The discussions were “useful and positive,” said Yuri Ushakov, Putin’s foreign affairs adviser. But the agenda appeared to be little more than a compendium of the nations’ mixed history of recent diplomatic endeavors. And some issues, such as Russia’s annexation last year of Ukraine’s Crimea region, weren’t publicly spoken of at all. Kerry and Lavrov promised to work harder to convince Ukraine’s warring factions to adhere to a February cease-fire that has been regularly violated, and on implementing a 2012 U.S.-Russian strategy for a transitional government in Syria that has been a complete failure to date.

WASHINGTON – A judge deciding whether President Ronald Reagan’s would-be assassin can live full-time outside a mental hospital said Tuesday it’s a “very hard decision,” but one he knew he would have to make eventually when he “opened the door a crack” for John Hinckley Jr. a dozen years ago. “I knew this day would come. How could it not? That doesn’t make the decision any easier,” Judge Paul L. Friedman said at the end of a seven-day hearing on Hinckley’s freedom. Friedman has expanded Hinckley’s freedom incrementally since ruling in 2003 he could leave St. Elizabeth’s hospital for daylong visits with his family. Hinckley now spends 17 days a month at his mother’s home in Williamsburg, Virginia, and the hospital and his lawyers said he’s ready to live there full-time. The government wants more restrictions, to ensure Hinckley won’t be a danger. The judge seems to be preparing to allow Hinckley to live fulltime with his 89-year-old mother, as long as he abides by certain restrictions. He asked both sides to draft a roadmap for what that might look like, working together on a document that lays out the restrictions they can agree on as well as where they disagree. There are many points of agreement, the judge noted. Both sides agree Hinckley, who turns 60 this month, must continue to see a psychiatrist and therapist. They also agree he should make

at least monthly visits to St. Elizabeth’s, where he has lived since being found not guilty by reason of insanity in the 1981 shooting that injured Reagan and three others. They agree there should be certain restrictions on his travel. But prosecutors also want more stringent conditions, including requiring Hinckley to create a weekly itinerary saying where he will go and putting a GPS tracking device on the car he uses. They also want Hinckley to start wearing a monitoring bracelet on his ankle, a condition the judge suggested he would not agree to. Prosecutor Colleen Kennedy said the proposal made by St. Elizabeth’s and Hinckley’s lawyers is “not a safe plan.” “There is too much of a risk to the community,” she said. Barry Levine, Hinckley’s longtime attorney, called the government’s proposal “punitive” and told the judge the law requires that Hinckley be allowed to live under least restrictive conditions that ensure the public’s safety. The mental illness that drove Hinckley to shoot Reagan in a delusional effort to impress actress Jodie Foster has been in full and sustained remission for years, Levine has said. He said Hinckley has shown he is a “law-abiding citizen” and not dangerous, and he accused the government of “fear-mongering.” Deon Merene, a lawyer for the hospital, told the judge that Hinckley has recovered his sanity. There “will always be some risk,” but Hinckley poses a “low risk of danger at this time,” she said.

Another deadly Nepal quake spreads fear, misery By BINAJ GURUBACHARYA and KATY DAIGLE The Associated Press KATHMANDU, Nepal – A new earthquake killed dozens of people Tuesday and spread more fear and misery in Nepal, which is still struggling to recover from a devastating quake nearly three weeks ago that left more than 8,000 dead. A U.S. Marine Corps helicopter carrying six Marines and two Nepalese soldiers was reported missing while delivering disaster aid in northeastern Nepal, U.S. officials said, although there have been no indications the aircraft crashed. Tuesday’s magnitude-7.3 quake, centered midway between Kathmandu and Mount Everest, struck hardest in the foothills of the Himalayas, triggering some landslides, but it also shook the capital badly, sending thousands of terrified people into the streets. Nepal’s Parliament was in session when the quake hit, and frightened lawmakers ran

for the exits as the building shook and the lights flickered out. At least 37 people were killed in the quake and more than 1,100 were injured, according to the Home Ministry. But that toll was expected to rise as reports began reaching Kathmandu of people in isolated Himalayan towns and villages being buried under rubble, according to the U.N.’s Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs. Tremors radiated across parts of Asia. In neighboring India, at least 16 people were confirmed dead after rooftops or walls collapsed onto them, according to India’s Home Ministry. Chinese media reported one death in Tibet. The magnitude-7.8 earthquake that hit April 25 killed more than 8,150 and flattened entire villages, leaving hundreds of thousands homeless in the country’s worst-recorded quake since 1934. The U.S. Geological Survey said Tuesday’s earthquake was the largest aftershock to date of that

EU seeks U.N. OK to destroy vessels of migrant smugglers By LORNE COOK The Associated Press BRUSSELS – The European Union is seeking a U.N. Security Council resolution within days to let its members hunt down human traffickers in the Mediterranean and destroy their boats, a senior EU official said Tuesday. EU foreign ministers hope to have a U.N. resolution by their May 18 meeting “to ensure that we can have coercive action toward the smugglers” who have helped bring more than 10,000 migrants to European shores in unseaworthy boats in recent weeks, said the official, who has close knowledge of the operation but is not permitted to speak publicly about it. More than 170,000 illegal border crossings were recorded through the Mediterranean last year, mostly Syrians and Eritreans leaving via Libya,

whose collapse has allowed criminal gangs and terrorists to flourish. About 1,700 migrants are feared to have died in recent weeks even before the high season for sea migration begins in June. The controversial operation is part of a broader EU migration agenda to be unveiled Wednesday by the EU’s executive Commission. The agenda includes steps to speed up the identification and processing of migrants when they arrive, and to ensure that countries rapidly send back people who do not qualify for protection, according to a draft of the text obtained by The Associated Press. The EU foreign policy chief, Federica Mogherini, said the operation’s aim is to “disrupt the business model” of the traffickers. European navies currently can destroy only boats involved

in trafficking if they have no national flag or if the nation whose flag they bear gives permission for their destruction. A U.N. resolution would broaden that restriction to allow for more boats being destroyed. Some 10 European countries have signaled an interest in taking part in the operation, the official said. Britain, France, Poland and Spain are likely to provide ships or planes. The illicit migrant trade across the Mediterranean is now worth up to $323 million a year in Libya alone and its resources are being funneled into terrorist groups including the Islamic State group, according to a report Tuesday by the Global Initiative Against Transnational Organized Crime, a network of law enforcement and development groups, and the Rhipto analysis center in Norway.

pulled to safety in the district of Dolkha, the government said. Rescue helicopters were sent to mountain districts where landslides and collapsed buildings may have buried people, the government said. Home Ministry official Laxmi Dhakal said the Sindhupalchowk and Dolkha districts were

the worst hit. Search parties fanned out to look for survivors in the wreckage of collapsed buildings in Sindhupalchowk’s town of Chautara, which had become a hub for humanitarian aid after last month’s quake. Impoverished Nepal appealed for billions of dollars in aid from foreign nations, as well as medical experts to treat the wounded and helicopters to ferry food and temporary shelters to hundreds of thousands left homeless amid unseasonal rains. In Washington, Navy Capt. Chris Sims said the missing Huey helicopter was conducting disaster relief operations near Charikot, Nepal. A nearby Indian helicopter heard radio chatter about a possible fuel problem, said U.S. Army Col. Steve Warren. The Huey, carrying tarps and rice, had dropped off supplies and was headed to a second site when contact was lost, he said, adding that there has been no smoke or other signs of a crash.

Verizon buying AOL for $4.4B in mobile video bet By MAE ANDERSON The Associated Press NEW YORK – After selling millions of Americans their mobile phones, Verizon now wants to capture their eyeballs, too. As its phone business slows down, the nation’s largest wireless carrier is making a $4.4 billion bet it can find growth in mobile video and advertising by buying AOL, one of the Internet’s oldest brands, which has been through its own share of transformations since introducing much of America to the online world nearly a generation ago. The acquisition is the latest effort by a wireless company to tap into some of the money shifting to streaming video and mobile devices. Ken Doctor, a media analyst for consulting company Outsell, said Verizon is becoming less of a utility that

merely provides access to online services and more of a player in the digital arena as it sees growth in the likes of Apple, Google and Facebook. “They’re trying to move into that league of players getting money from digital, both from consumers and advertisers,” Doctor said. For consumers, the deal could mean more advertising – and ad targeting – from Verizon. That might mean more personalized ads in online videos and AOL content that appears on Verizon handsets and in marketing messages to customers. AT&T has taken a different tack. Last year, the company said it would buy satellite TV provider DirecTV for $48.5 billion so it could offer bundles of TV, Internet and phone services – just as cable companies do. In many cases, the Internet component would be through wireless rather than fixedwire broadband.

A look inside Rauner’s secretive state legislative ‘working groups’ I recently obtained a document distributed by the governor’s office detailing the membership list, meeting times and locations of the secret state legislative “working groups.” The governor’s office has insisted that not only should legislators dummy up about what goes on at the groups’ meetings – which are designed to forge compromises on the governor’s “Turnaround Agenda” – but also that outsiders should not even know the membership of the groups or when and where they’re getting together. That’s pretty ridiculous, if you ask me. Many moons ago, I began writing about private legislative caucus meetings. That didn’t endear me to the powers that be, but I thought the meetings were too important to the Statehouse process to ignore. So, I exerted a bit of effort and eventually scored the governor’s document. The working group tasked with hammering out a potential tax hike is so secret that its very existence would not be confirmed by members I contacted. Legislators reportedly were warned by the governor’s office that if any word leaked about the group, Gov. Bruce Rauner would refuse to increase taxes. The group was nicknamed “Vegas” by some of its members because what happens in the group is supposed to stay in the group. Its official name is listed as “HOLD” on the governor’s document. It’s apparently not an acronym. “They were that afraid to put things in writing,” explained one source. “So just ‘hold’ this slot open.” Republican state Reps.

No hazing death repeat David Bogenberger was a 19-year-old freshman at Northern Illinois University in DeKalb. On Nov. 1, 2012, he and 18 other Pi Kappa Alpha pledges were encouraged by fraternity members to drink 4-ounce glasses of vodka in rapid succession during a secret hazing ritual. The pledges received decorated buckets in which to be sick. When they passed out, participants positioned their bodies so they wouldn’t choke while unconscious, police have said. Bogenberger never woke up. His blood-alcohol content was 0.351 percent. He drank so much his heart stopped. Shortly before the 22 former fraternity members at the party that night were convicted and sentenced in connection with their son’s death, Bogenberger’s parents said the best they could hope for was that others would be spared their son’s fate. Bogenberger’s story should be told every year to every new class at NIU. In

fact, the story should be told to all high school seniors in the area every year. Students need to understand alcohol can be lethal. Bogenberger’s death occurred at what was a recognized student organization at NIU, underscoring the need for university officials to strictly enforce rules when it comes to social events held by these organizations. This holds true at all colleges and universities. The Bogenbergers’ attorney, Peter Coladarci, also has called for eliminating the pledging system, where prospective members essentially audition to join the group. This system puts the younger students under the power of the established fraternity members – and it’s this setup that led to Bogenberger’s death. What would the Greek system be without pledging? It would be free from the temptation for older members to humiliate and degrade younger ones. We suspect Greek life would not fall apart as a result.

Lockport left-handed batter switch-hits go-ahead run in win over Joliet West / 27

Joliet West’s Maddie Mulder throws a runner out at first during the second inning of Tuesday’s game against Lockport at Joliet. Mulder had three hits for West, including one in the ninth inning that brought West within one run of tying the game. Lockport won, 5-4, in nine innings.

SOFTBALL: LOCKPORT 5, JOLIET WEST 4 ( 9 INN.)

By DICK GOSS dgoss@shawmedia.com

• Wednesday, May 13, 2015

JOLIET – Lockport leadoff hitter Justine Cielenski got the “switch” signal from her coach, Marissa Chovanec. The time was right for the left-handed swinging slap hitter to turn around and bat right-handed, her natural side. Cielenski pulled the 0-1 pitch from Kiley Robb for a hard ground single to left field, driving in pinch-runner Courtney Schoolcraft with the go-ahead run with two outs in the top of the ninth inning of Tuesday’s SouthWest Suburban Blue thriller at Joliet West. Cielenski bats left-handed and in the leadoff spot because she can fly. The throw from left field on her single was off line, and she raced all the way to third. When Elena Woulfe followed with a single to right, her second hit, Cielenski scored the insurance run for a 5-3 lead. The Porters needed every bit of it because West scored once in the bottom of the ninth against Cielenski, a junior right-hander who threw 136 pitches in going the distance. Madi Mulder, whose two-run single in the third inning had put West ahead, 2-0, made it 5-4 in the ninth when she dropped a two-out single into short left field to drive in Robb. After a walk put two runners on base, freshman Sidney Budzinski, who started for West and left with a 3-2 deficit after four innings, grounded to short. The force play at second was “bangbang” and went in the Porters’ favor as they prevailed, 5-4, to keep pace in the SWS Blue race, two games behind Lincoln-Way East. “I’ve been a right-handed hitter my whole life,” Cielenski said of the ninth-inning switch. “I’m fast, and they switched me to a full-time, left-handed slap hitter last year. Sometimes, playing small ball against these good teams works.” “She always wants to turn around,” Chovanec said of

Lockport’s Justine Cielenski hits in the go-ahead run during the ninth inning of Tuesday’s game against Joliet West at Joliet. Cielenski. “But what we needed in that situation was not a lefty slap hitter. She is incredibly fast, but their shortstop [Alyssia Rodriguez] was doing an incredible job the whole game. We needed her to drive the ball and drive in the run.” Cielenski had a muscle pull in her shoulder and was unavailable to pitch for a time early in the season when Lockport (18-7, 8-2) suffered its two conference losses. “Justine’s our ace,” Chovanec said. “She can throw 150-160 pitches when she’s healthy. We were keeping an eye on how many she threw. I don’t know if she would have pitched any more if we played another inning.” The Porters erased the 2-0 lead that West (14-9, 4-6) enjoyed when they scored three times in the fourth. Halle Hollatz’s second straight single ignited the uprising. With two outs and runners at second and third, Emily

Lockport’s Courtney Schoolcraft tags out Joliet West’s Lily Ongkiko after Ongkiko attempted to stretch an RBI single in the sixth inning. Dybas singled in the hole at shortstop to make it 2-1. Rodriguez’s diving stop kept the ball in the infield and preserved West’s lead for one more batter. However, after Dybas – who finished with two hits – stole second, Sidney Bottino ripped a single to center field

to drive in two runs for a 3-2 Lockport lead. West, which matched Lockport with 10 hits, including three each by Mulder and Jen Ames, got back even in the sixth. Lily Ongkiko’s second straight hit drove in the run. But the Tigers had three hits, a walk and a hit batter in

the inning, lost a runner on the bases and left them loaded. “That’s been our season,” Tigers coach Heather Suca said. “We did all the little things, and we’ve been swinging the bats well. We got our share of hits, we just aren’t getting the clutch hits. And a couple of times, we hit the ball well but at people for outs.” One of those occasions came in the bottom of the ninth. With the score 5-3 and a runner on base, pinch-hitter Simone Carroll lined a rope to deep center field, but Woulfe pulled it down. “These games, all the games in our conference, prepare us for the postseason,” Chovanec said. “We may not be done with West yet, either.” The Porters received the No. 3 seed and the Tigers are No. 5 in the Class 4A Joliet Central Sectional. Another meeting in the postseason is a possibility.

SOFTBALL: PLAINFIELD CENTRAL 14, PLAINFIELD SOUTH 2 (5 INN.)

Plainfield Central rolls past rival South By CURT HERRON cherron@shawmedia.com JOLIET – After a getting a few days off because of bad weather, Plainfield Central softball coach Anne Campbell had good reason to be a bit concerned about how her squad might respond Tuesday when they took on rival Plainfield South. But after seeing them hit the ball well in practice Monday, some of the Wildcat coach’s fears subsided – and they pretty much disappeared as the contest unfolded. Central collected 14 hits and had 22 baserunners to help it capture a 14-2 Southwest Prairie Conference victory in five innings over the Cougars. The Wildcats (22-3, 11-0) broke the game open with a seven-run second inning to head into Thursday’s SPC home showdown against Minooka on a high note. “The girls were ready to play, and we hit the ball really well,” Campbell said. “We got rained out Friday and Saturday and had prom, so sometimes a little break and a little rest is not a bad thing. They hit

the ball like crazy yesterday in practice, so I was excited to get out here. They like to play South and hit against them, and they just stayed focused. “I thought we played a good game all around and we capitalized on South’s mistakes. Brooklyn (Daly) gave up a home run in the first inning, and she adjusted and pitched a nice game. This group is very focused and has a mission. But they’re also having a blast and enjoy playing with each other, and that’s half of the battle right there.” The contest was close for a little while as South responded to a two-run Wildcat first by matching that total. But then Central’s bats and pitcher Daly took over. In Central’s first, Michaela Schlattman (2 for 5) and Megan Muldoon reached on hits to start things off. After Schlattman scored on a double steal, Maria Connell (three RBIs) made it 2-0 on an infield grounder. But South answered in its first as Angie Giancarlo drew a leadoff walk and one out later, Cam Mosher hit a home run to center field. “After the home run, I was

a little bit flustered,” Daly said. “But the girls said, ‘Hey, don’t worry about it, let’s get the next two outs and we’ll get those runs back,’ and they did that. We’re a really good hitting team and fielding team, as well, so I really don’t get that nervous since I know that they’re there to back me up. “We all have one goal, which is to go to state, since we haven’t done that. So we’re really pumped for every game and try to win. I like how everyone on the team is so nice and funny. We all get along great, and we’re all just really good friends.” The Wildcats collected five hits and took advantage of two errors to push across seven runs in the second. Connell drove in two runs on a hit to center, and then Gretchen Egly (2 for 4, three RBIs) slammed a three-run homer to center field. After Daly reached on an error, Sammie Sabor (3 for 4) slapped one over the right field fence. Schlattman scored on a run on an error in the third, and Jenny Newtoff (3 for 4) did the same in the fourth. In between those trips to the plate, the Cougars threatened in their third, but Daly got out of a bases-load-

ed jam with a 1-2-3 double play. The Wildcats hurler used that twin-killing to start a run of eight straight outs to finish things off. Included in that stretch were five of her eight strikeouts. South only had two hits. Central scored three more times in the fifth. Hannah Franceschini singled to drive in Egly, while the final two runs scored on errors. Sammi Newtoff also went 2 for 4 for Central. “Yesterday, we took a lot of time in practice hitting curve balls since we knew that Harbs (Jordan Harbacek) pitches a lot of them, and that helped our team’s success, and definitely mine,” Egly said. “We do a really nice job complimenting each other and making sure that we’re all hitting together. Sometimes, it’s hard for a team to put it all together. “You can excel as an individual, but your team has to excel together, because if you don’t, it’s going to be really hard to win. What keeps this group going is that we’re like a family. We’re all like sisters and we hang out. We don’t have any drama, and it’s real entertaining.”

BASEBALL: JOLIET CATHOLIC 2, MARIAN CATHOLIC 0

By DRAKE SKLEBA Shaw Media Correspondent

“It was a playoff-type game. Drake (Fellows) was magnificent and in complete control of the game. With 13 strikeouts, he gave our defense a rest. We had a rough stretch awhile back that we have completely recovered from and are right where we expected to be, atop the ESCC standings.” Jared Voss Joliet Catholic baseball coach Fellows (8-0) picked up nine of his 13 strikeouts in the first four innings. Marian senior catcher Jace Howard was the only Spartan to solve the unsolvable Fellows, with consecutive singles in the second and fourth innings. The Hilltoppers picked up an unearned run in the bottom of the fourth when the Spartan defense committed three errors. Simonich walked to

lead off the inning, and Connor Brandon hit into a fielder’s choice. Brandon stole second base and, when the throw sailed into center field, Brandon moved to third. Junior first baseman Jack Howard walked, and Brandon scored on another Spartan miscue. In the top of the sixth, Fellows pulled off the defensive play of the game. After he picked up his 10th strikeout,

Marian’s Kellen Williams hit a topper to the third-base side of Fellows on the mound. The Fellows grabbed the ball barehanded and fired an off-balance strike to Howard to nip the speedy Williams for the second out of the inning. “I knew I would have to grab the ball barehanded,” Fellows said. “I had to do a little Derek Jeter imitation on the play.” Fellows struck out the side in the seventh, and the 15th 20win season for Joliet Catholic coach Jared Voss was in the books. “It was a playoff-type game,” Voss said. “Drake (Fellows) was magnificent and in complete control of the game. With 13 strikeouts, he gave our defense a rest. We had a rough stretch awhile back that we have completely recovered from and are right where we expected to be, atop the ESCC standings.”

JOLIET – Ninety-five minutes. That was all the time needed Tuesday for Joliet Catholic junior right-hander Drake Fellows to pitch the Hilltoppers past Marian Catholic, 2-0, and into a first-place tie with Nazareth (21-5, 11-3) atop the East Suburban Catholic Conference standings. Fellows allowed only three singles and picked up his 11th, 12th and 13th strikeouts to close the Hilltoppers’ 20th victory with a flourish in the top of the seventh. The win was the sixth consecutive for JCA (20-6-1, 11-3). “I felt really good on the mound,” Fellows said. “All of my pitches were working well. It was great to get the run in the first inning thanks to Mitch’s [Boe’s] triple.

“This was a big win for us, and we are right where we want to be, in first place. We have received tremendous pitching all season, and we can score runs. If we continue to play the way we have been playing, we will go far.” Boe, JCA’s Iowa-bound shortstop, led off the bottom of the first with a booming triple and scored the only run Fellows would need on KC Simonich’s groundout for a 1-0 Hilltopper lead. “We had a tough stretch of games that we have bounced back from,” Boe said. “Today was our sixth win in a row, and I’m really happy to be back in a tie with Nazareth for first in the ESCC. “I was really aggressive today at the plate and hit the ball hard, especially on the triple in the first inning. I was looking for a curveball and got it on the double in the fifth.”

Illinois preps body rolls out concussion prevention projects By MICHAEL TARM The Associated Press

EASTERN CONFERENCE SEMIFINAL – GAME 5: CAVS 106, BULLS 101

LeBron scores 38 as Cavaliers down Bulls in heated Game 5 By TOM WITHERS The Associated Press CLEVELAND – With the “Big 3” reduced to the “BangedUp 2,” LeBron James again showed why he’s Cleveland’s one and only. James scored 38 points, Kyrie Irving added 25 and the Cavaliers held off the Bulls’ charge in the fourth quarter for a 106-101 victory Tuesday night to take a 3-2 lead in their testy Eastern Conference semifinal. Showing no ill effects from a sprained left ankle, James added 12 rebounds, six assists, three steals, three blocks and didn’t have a turnover in 41 minutes to ensure the Cavs again will play at home this season. “LeBron was just outstanding, every element of the game,” Cavs coach David Blatt said. “You can’t pick a thing he didn’t do at the highest level.” Cleveland can wrap up the best-of-seven series and advance to the conference finals for the first time since 2009 with a win in Game 6 on Thursday night at United Center, where the teams exchanged buzzer-beating victories last

weekend. The drama wasn’t quite as high in Game 5, but it was close, and it was intense. Jimmy Butler scored 29 and Mike Dunleavy 19 for the Bulls. Derrick Rose scored 16, 12 in the first quarter, but the star guard shot just 2 of 15 in the final three quarters and aggravated a shoulder “stinger” he sustained in Game 1. Fueled by an altercation that led to the ejection of the Bulls’ Taj Gibson, the Cavs led by 17 with 6:09 left and then had to hold off a furious comeback by the Bulls, who got within 101-99 on Butler’s 3-pointer with 1:18 left. Cleveland, however, got a huge offensive rebound by Iman Shumpert before Irving, playing on a sprained right foot and sore left knee, made four free throws in the final 17 seconds. The Bulls were missing big man Pau Gasol, who sat out his second straight game with a strained left hamstring and didn’t sound confident before Game 5 that he’d be ready by Thursday. They also played the final 10:25 without Gibson, ejected for kicking Cavs guard Mat-

thew Dellavedova. Gibson shoved Dellavedova to the floor and then kicked the scrappy backup, who angered the Bulls forward by clamping his legs around Gibson’s. Players on both teams exchanged shoves and pushes before the officials got things under control. Gibson could be facing further discipline from the league, and Dellavedova, too, might get slapped for his role. “I was surprised (to be ejected),” Gibson said. “I really just tried to release my foot because as soon as I got up off the ground, I just felt somebody tugging on my leg.” The Cavs were sparked by the incident and opened a 9073 lead before the Bulls came charging back. Dunleavy scored six points in an 11-0 run that got the Bulls back in it before the Cavs gained their composure and closed it out. “I love the way that we fought back,” Rose said. “I thought we had a crack at it, we just didn’t execute right.” James, who came in shooting just 38 percent in the series, didn’t show the slightest signs of being slowed by the sprain he sustained late in Game 4.

CHICAGO – With a potentially costly lawsuit looming over it, the IHSA rolled out a series of concussion prevention projects Tuesday, including a new advisory council whose members will include the son of a former Bears player. The moves come in the wake of a class-action suit accusing it and its 800 member schools of doing too little to protect some 50,000 football players and other young athletes. The lawsuit, filed in November, was the first of its kind against a high school government body. The package of new IHSA programs – dubbed “Play Smart. Play Hard” – will provide athletes more information on reducing risks of concussions and other injuries. The player safety council is intended to review head injury policies. The lawsuit didn’t prompt the IHSA to do more, director Marty Hickman said, but it did lead the group to conclude it’s not getting the word out about its efforts over previous years to adopt best practices on concussions. “This is a broader education initiative that is not directly related to the lawsuit,” he said. The Chicago attorney who filed the lawsuit, Joseph Siprut, said the litigation was clearly “lighting a fire under the IHSA” and that the new programs clearly are a response to the legal scrutiny. And he had guarded praise for them. “The IHSA’s initiatives are steps in the right direction, though still far from the more exhaustive and expansive remedies

IHSA Director Marty Hickman, seen in May 2014, said its new concussion prevention initiative is “not directly related” to a recent lawsuit on the issue. sought” in the suit, Siprut said. Among other mandates, the suit seeks requirements that medical personnel be present at all football games and practices. Hickman has said such court-imposed mandates would be too costly for poorer schools and would force them to shut down their football programs. Former Bears defensive back Dave Duerson’s son, Tregg Duerson, who played football in high school and college, will be one of eight members on the new player safety council. His father fatally shot himself in the chest in 2011 and left behind notes asking that his brain be tested. “That allows him to bring a very unique perspective to this,” Hickman said. Others on the council include Illinois state Sen. Napoleon Harris, himself a former NFL player; Tory Lindley, an associate athletic director at Northwestern University; and two high school athletes.

Sale strikes out 11, White Sox snap road skid

MILWAUKEE – Chris Sale struck out 11 in eight solid innings in his return from suspension to lift the White Sox to a 4-2 victory Tuesday night over the Milwaukee Brewers. The Sox ended a seven-game road losing streak despite another modest offensive effort. It didn’t matter with Sale (3-1) on the mound, as the lanky left-hander made every run count before David Robertson converted his sixth save to end it.

Milwaukee’s Elian Herrera homered for the third straight day, but Brewers reliever Michael Blazek (3-1) faltered late. Sale looked nothing like the pitcher who’d given up 13 runs over his previous two starts against Minnesota and Detroit in returning from a five-game suspension for his role in an April 23 brawl with Kansas City. The biggest reason was his command. After walking seven in his previous 81⁄3 innings, Sale didn’t allow a walk until two outs in the eighth in notching his 19th career double-digit strikeout game in his 91st career start.

He limited Milwaukee’s offense to a pair of big plays – a triple to lead off the game by Jean Segura, who scored on Ryan Braun’s groundout and Herrera’s homer that landed in the Brewers bullpen to lead off the fifth that tied the game at 2. It had the makings of a pitching duel early when Brewers starter Mike Fiers retired the first 11 batters he faced. Fiers struck out seven and allowed two runs on three consecutive hits in the fifth, but his bullpen didn’t help him after leaving with one out in the seventh.

STALK UP

The Associated Press

hen shopping for asparagus, people often focus on the wrong thing – how thick the stalks are. They think thinner is better. Truth is, asparagus can be delicious regardless of how thick it is. More important is how fresh the asparagus is. That’s where the flavor is. Freshly harvested asparagus boasts a smooth, firm stalk and a tight tip. When asparagus is past its prime, the stalk starts to wrinkle, and the tip begins spreading out like a feather. But vigilance for freshness doesn’t stop at the store. Once you get it home, you need to keep it fresh. The best way to store asparagus is to place the stalks with the ends down in a bit of water in the refrigerator. If you lack that kind of room, at least wrap the bottoms of the stalks in wet paper towels. They should last three or four days this way. Regardless of how you plan to cook the asparagus, the first step in prepping it is to get rid of the woody part of the stem at the bottom of the stalks, either by breaking or cutting it. But don’t toss them out. In this soup, I add them to the broth to help infuse it with flavor, then discard them. If I’m working with asparagus that is more than one-third-inch thick, I usually peel the stems to ensure even cooking from the tip to the bottom of the stalk. But we’re making soup here, which means we’re going to purée the asparagus, so there’s no need to peel. In fact, we want those peels. They help to give the soup a bright green color. Speaking of color, it also helps to barely cook the asparagus before puréeing it, and to reheat it only briefly after it is puréed. In general, the longer a green vegetable cooks, the grayer it becomes. What makes this soup without cream so creamy? It’s the puréed vegetables that do the trick – not only the asparagus, but also the onion and that one lone Yukon Gold potato. By the way, this soup is equally good hot or cold. It’s a spring thing.

For best spring asparagus, buy fresh, store properly and cook with every inch

Fresh and “Creamy” Asparagus Soup with Tarragon Start to finish: 40 minutes Servings: 4

1½ pounds asparagus (about 1½ bunches) 1¾ cups low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth 1¾ cups water ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil ½ cup thinly sliced yellow onion 1 small Yukon Gold potato (about 6 ounces), peeled and thinly

sliced ½ teaspoon kosher salt 2 teaspoons lemon juice Ground black pepper Chopped fresh tarragon, to serve Croutons, to serve Cut off the bottom woody ends of the asparagus, rinsing them if they are dirty and reserve them. Cut off the tips of the asparagus and set them aside. Chop the stems into 1-inch lengths. In a medium saucepan bring the broth and water to a boil. Add

the asparagus tips and simmer until they are crisp tender, 1 to 3 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer them to a bowl. Set aside. Add the reserved woody ends to the liquid, bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, in a second medium saucepan over medium, heat the oil. Add the onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Pour the asparagus stock through a strainer into the saucepan with the onion, pressing on the aspara-

gus ends to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the ends. Add the potatoes and salt to the saucepan and simmer until the potatoes are tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the chopped asparagus stalks, then bring the stock to a boil and simmer until the stems are barely blanched, 1 minute for thin stalks, 2 minutes for medium stalks and 3 minutes for thick stalks. Working in batches, transfer the mixture to a blender and carefully blend until smooth, transferring the soup as it is puréed to the

empty saucepan. Stir in reserved asparagus tips and the lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper, then continue cooking just until heated through. Divide between serving bowls and top each portion with tarragon and croutons.

I am 80 years old and in good health, but I have a very red swollen bump on the top of my big toe. I move around okay, but I’m limited by the toe pain. Am I too old for bunion surgery?

No. If the bunion is an arthritic problem, then removing the bony bump, a simple bunionectomy, or joint replacement can be done. This type of surgery will heal quicker than a more complicated bunionectomy where the bone is broken and shifted. Removing the arthritic bone and replacing the joint with an implant, if needed, will increase the movement of the toe and eliminate the pain.

815-744-5661 Karen Pastell, Au.D. www.prairielandaudiology.com Doctor of Audiology Q: When should I have my hearing tested?

A: Any time you have any concerns about your hearing is the time for a hearing evaluation. Early signs of hearing problems include turning up the TV volume louder than others may want, asking people to repeat, and difficulty in restaurants or other places where there background noise. If you have heart disease or diabetes you may want to have your hearing checked as research has shown that people with these conditions have a higher rate of hearing loss. A comprehensive hearing evaluation by an audiologist will reveal the exact nature of your loss and whether a medical referral is warranted. This evaluation is more involved than the free hearing screenings you see advertised and is typically covered by insurance. May is Better Hearing Month and is a good time to have your hearing checked! Dr. Karen Pastell is a licensed audiologist in Joliet and a member of the Tinnitus Practitioners Association.

PUZZLES CROSSWORD

SUDOKU

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

The race is on for the winners

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Damon Runyon, a newspaperman and author who died in 1946, said, “It may be that the race is not always to the swift, nor the battle to the strong – but that is the way to bet.” No-trump contracts are races. Both sides are trying to establish tricks, and the first to succeed usually wins – but only if once those winners can be cashed, the player holding them is either on lead or can take a timely trick. How is that relevant to this deal? South is in three no-trump, and West leads the spade eight. How should the play go? South starts with eight top tricks: one spade (given the lead), four diamonds and three clubs. Maybe clubs will break 3-3, but that is unlikely. If the clubs are not 3-3, South will have to knock out the heart ace. But then maybe East will run his spade suit. What should happen at trick one? East needs to realize that if West has led a singleton, the defenders have no chance. Also, if West holds two spades, declarer has only one spade stopper. And there is an important principle: If declarer has one trick in the suit you are trying to establish, make him take it as quickly as possible – trick one is not too early. Here, East should play an encouraging spade nine at trick one. South will win, try the clubs, and either cash out for down one or turn to hearts and lose one heart, one club and five spades for down three. Note that if East wins the first trick, declarer romps home with an overtrick or two.

processed foods. This sodium-potassium imbalance is thought to be a major contributor to high blood pressure. Research suggests that reversing the imbalance between the two minerals can help the heart and arteries. In one trial, researchers measured the amounts of sodium and potassium excreted over the course of 24 hours by nearly 3,000 volunteers. (The amount excreted is a good stand-in for the amount consumed.) The higher the ratio of sodium to potassium, the greater the chance of having a heart attack or stroke, needing bypass surgery or angioplasty, or dying of cardiovascular disease over 10 to 15 years of follow-up. To reverse the ratio, choose foods with a high proportion of potassium to sodium. (On my website, askdoctork.com, I’ve put a table showing the potassium-to-sodium ratio of many common foods.) Potassium is found naturally in many fruits and vegetables. Federal guidelines recommend 4,700 mg of potassium per day for adults. Now, about the patient I advised to sprinkle potassium salt instead of ordinary (sodium-containing) table salt on her foods: At her next visit, her blood pressure still was high. She swore she was using the potassium salt. I was puzzled. As I was writing a prescription, she reached into her bag and started munching on a big salami and potato chips. She had been following the letter, but not the spirit, of my advice.

Dear Dr. K: I have high blood pressure. As I expected, my doctor told me to cut down on sodium. But he also told me to increase my potassium intake. Why? Dear Reader: Sodium and potassium are two minerals that form salts. Your question reminded me of a patient I took care of long ago, who also had a high blood pressure problem. I asked her to substitute potassium salt for the usual table salt (which contains sodium). I’ll tell you what happened later. People with diets high in potassium have lower blood pressures than those with potassium-poor diets. Potassium dials down blood pressure, while sodium ratchets it up. That is, provided there’s enough potassium in the diet to have this beneficial effect. Salt – sodium chloride – is essential for survival. Together with potassium, sodium helps balance fluid levels in our cells. But you only need a small amount of it. When you take in more sodium than your body needs, your body holds on to water to dilute the sodium. As a result, the amount of fluid in your blood vessels increases. That raises the pressure inside your blood vessels and makes the heart work harder. Potassium helps the body get rid of excess sodium and relaxes blood vessels. Both of these actions help lower blood pressure. Thousands of years ago, when humans roamed the earth gathering and hunting, sodium was scarce. By contrast, potassium was abundant. The so-called Paleolithic diet provided about 16 times more potassium than sodium. Today, the average American diet contains about twice as much sodium as potassium. That’s in large part the result of the high levels of salt in

a Dear Abby dinner party would be enjoyable, because readers have written to tell me they’ve hosted one, and it made for an interesting and fun evening. The recipes are traditional, easy to read, simple to prepare and delicious. As I mentioned to a reader from Little Rock who inquired about the booklet, one hostess described decorating her place cards with appliquéd hearts and tiny flowers. She created a centerpiece by making a “bouquet” of envelopes addressed to Dear Abby. Another woman copied questions from past columns, printed them out and made them into a party game, instructing her guests to supply the answers. She said after a few glasses of wine, some of the answers

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips they came up with were hilarious, but not suitable for printing in a family newspaper. My cookbooklet set contains more than 100 tasty recipes ranging from soups to salads, appetizers, main courses and desserts. The recipes also can be used for holidays and special occasions. To order, send your name and mailing address, plus check or money order for $14 (U.S. funds) to: Dear Abby – Cookbooklet Set, P.O. Box 447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. My mother used many of these recipes for dinner parties, and so have I. I particularly recommend the Pecan Pie recipe – which has been printed in this column before because it has taken prizes at county fairs. It was given to Mama by the chef at the now-demolished Phoenix Hotel in Lexington, Kentucky, and people rave about it. Dear Abby: Folks always tell me that gals like to be wooed, but when I holler “woo” at them, they give me dirty looks. What’s up with that? – Abby Fan From

Twitter Dear Fan: Decades ago,

“gals” would have been flattered. But since the women’s movement, many females would regard your attempt to be friendly as a form of sexual harassment rather than a compliment. Instead of hollering, try saying hello and you may get better results.

Dear Abby: We have enjoyed an international dinner club with three other couples for many years. Besides an international theme, we occasionally have other theme dinners. The host couple chooses the country and is responsible for the main course. Another couple brings an associated entrée, the third brings dessert and the fourth provides the wine. We rotate responsibilities so we host only once every four months. We have become close friends over many memorable meals together, sharing pregnancy announcements, child rearing, graduations, weddings and anniversaries. I think a “Dear Abby” dinner would be fun to host, and I’d love to plan a meal around your cookbooks. Would you please advise how this avid reader might get copies? – Chef Mike In
