By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com JOLIET – New figures from the U.S. Census Bureau shows Joliet and Naperville will likely surpass Rockford – the fastest shrinking city in Illinois and the 10th fastest in the United States – in population in the next year or two.

But Joliet is growing at a slower rate than Naperville, its biggest competitor for the title as the third largest city in Illinois behind Aurora and Chicago, according to figures from the U.S. Census Bureau.

The Northern Illinois University’s Center for Governmental Studies compiled and released the data this week.

Between 2010 and 2014, Joliet gained just 251 people – or 0.16 percent, from 147,677 to 147,928. During that same period, Naperville grew by 3,828 people – or 2.7 percent, from 142,300 to 146,128.

Joliet Mayor Bob O’Dekirk said Tuesday he wouldn’t place bets on which city – Naperville or Joliet – will end up as the third largest first. He said he believes Joliet has more potential to grow in population and

Population changes from 2010 to 2014 1. Chicago – 2,697,319 to 2,722,389 (+1.33%) 2. Aurora – 198,161 to 200,456 (+1.15%) 3. Rockford – 152,963 to 149,123 (-2.5%) 4. Joliet – 147,677 to 147,928 (+0.16) 5. Naperville – 142,300 to 146,128 (+2.7%) 6. Springfield – 116,546 to 116,809 (+0.2%) 7. Peoria – 114,888 to 115,828 (+0.81%) 8. Elgin – 108,304 to 111,117 (+2.59%)

Source: U.S. Census Bureau data compiled by the Northern Illinois University’s Center for Governmental Studies size, with acres of undeveloped land along its western corridor in Kendall County.

“We want to encourage more people to come here, to stay here,” O’Dekirk said. “Obviously we have to keep our city services high and our tax rates down.”

Bringing new businesses and economic development to downtown Joliet is key, said O’Dekirk, pointing to Naperville’s downtown as a prime example of a bustling hub and city center.

Rockford is now considered the 10th fastest shrinking city in the U.S. when ranked among 756 cities with a population of 50,000 or more, according to the latest U.S. Census estimates.

The city dropped in population from 152,963 in 2010 to 149,123 in 2014 – a loss of 3,840 residents, or 2.5 percent.

Of the eight Illinois cities on that list – Chicago, Aurora, Rockford, Joliet, Naperville, Springfield, Peoria and Elgin – Joliet grew by the smallest margin.

Earlier this year, the NIU Center for Governmental Studies released data showing Illinois leads the U.S. in population decline. According to the data, Illinois had nearly 10,000 fewer residents in 2014 than in 2013. Meanwhile, Aurora is now the second-largest city in Illinois by a wide margin at 200,456, having gained nearly 2,300 people since the 2010 decennial census.

Rialto catches up on FOIA requests

By BOB OKON bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The Rialto Square Theatre FOIA flood is under control.

New FOIA officer Dan Vera announced at Wednesday’s board meeting 21 requests for information under the Freedom of Information Act have been met.

“We are now in compliance,” he said. “It has been taken care of.”

Vera, vice chairman of the Will County Metropolitan Exposition and Auditorium Authority, which oversees the Rialto, took over in April as FOIA officer.

He took the position after Board Member Vicki Murphy, previous FOIA officer, resigned. Murphy said she could not keep up with FOIA requests while also running a

small business. She also said the demand for information was taking up as much as 35 hours a week of two staff members’ time.

Vera said catching up on FOIA requests “took a lot of staff time.” But, he added, “It went very well. We got a lot done very quickly.”

WCMEAA Chairman James Smith acknowledged last month that part of the problem was the Rialto was not accustomed to handling many FOIA requests. In past years, there were perhaps one or two FOIA requests a year, he said.

Public interest in the Rialto was aroused by a controversy that started late last year over a proposed design for a new marquee. The demand for information has led, among other things, to Rialto officials acknowledging appropriate

bidding procedures were not followed in awarding a contract for the marquee project.

The 21 FOIA requests had been pending since January.

Sixteen came from the Rialto Belongs to the People group created in response to the marquee design.

Lisa Marie Raucci, second vice chair with Rialto Belongs to the People, said the FOIA requests went more smoothly once she met with Vera and Rialto attorney Tom Carey to clarify what information was sought.

“Dan and Tom answered our questions so we were able to focus our requests,” Raucci said.

Since Vera took over as FOIA officer, he has received one more request: Someone wants to know who has filed FOIA requests and what information they sought.

Tour of Union Station taken before vote on lease renewal

By BOB OKON bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – New chandeliers and sconce lighting have been added. Rooms have been carpeted and ceilings repaired.

Bussean Custom Caterers has even expanded its Union Station banquet facility into the lower floor, where he hopes to add a bar.

These are some of the improvements Bussean has made in anticipation of growing business now that brides-to-be won’t find vagrants sleeping on train station benches when they check out the historic building, which ceased operating as a train station last year.

But Bussean’s lease with the city of Joliet, which owns Union Station, expired in December.

And the City Council is divided on whether it should seek proposals from other banquet operators to see if it can get a better deal than what it gets from Bussean, which has been at Union Station since 2001.

Joliet City Council members toured Union Station Thursday afternoon, while Jeffrey Bussean and his staff showed them how he has invested in the building expecting a renewal of his lease.

“We made a lot of improvements in the building in anticipation of this all coming to fruition,” Bussean said. “There’s a lot more I’d like to do. But I’m not willing to do it without approval.”

Bussean did not get the approval he sought Thursday.

The council left Union Station for City Hall, where a combined committee voted, 3-2, to recommend the city seek proposals from banquet operators.

But those voting yes appeared uncertain, and Mayor Bob O’Dekirk advised staff to hold off on making changes in Bussean’s arrangements until the full City Council votes.

“I think this matter should

go immediately to the council,” O’Dekirk told committee members. “I’m not sure the council vote will reflect what happened here today.”

The proposal was scheduled to go to a vote at the June 16 council meeting.

Even Councilman Jim McFarland, the chief proponent

for seeking proposals, suggested he could be swayed to stick with Bussean. But he first wanted to see an analysis from city staff showing that Busse-

an’s offer to pay rent of $10,000 a month is a good deal.

Lincoln-Way officials on track for meeting on financial issues

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com FRANKFORT – Lincoln-Way High School District 210 officials said they have been making progress on talks with consultants on the district’s concerning financial problems.

At Thursday’s board meeting, Lincoln-Way Superintendent Scott Tingley said he and other school leaders have met with PMA Financial Network and will have another meeting scheduled next week. They also will be in contact with a consultant Friday from the Illinois State Board of Education.

“We’re on track for our

June 11 board meeting,” Tingley said.

At a board meeting earlier this month, Tingley laid out the problems afflicting the school district that landed it with the lowest rating on the state’s financial watch list. He said school officials are working with PMA Financial Network to put together a financial analysis for the June 11 meeting .

That analysis would include potential cost savings associated with cutting classes and extra-curricular activities, as well as closing a school. The analysis also would include information on a referendum

and activity fee increases.

Other board matters

Board members unanimously approved Sue Fennell, board recording secretary, as the school treasurer for the 2015-16 school year. Her salary for the position was set at $6,700. She will begin in her new position July 1.

The board also unanimously approved a resolution designating several financial institutions as places where the school district can deposit funds and monies for the 201516 school year.

Those institutions include: Chase Bank, Fifth Third Bank,

First Bank of Manhattan, First Midwest Bank, BMO Harris Bank, U.S. Bank, Illinois School District Liquid Asset Fund, LincolnWay Community Bank, Old Plank Trail Community Bank, Old Second National Bank, Standard Bank and Trust, State Bank of Illinois and Suburban Bank and Trust.

Legislative issues

School officials are monitoring several state legislative bills that may impact the district.

Ronald Sawin, assistant superintendent of business, alerted board members to Senate Bill 100, which he said

proposes significant changes to school suspension and expulsion requirements. He said the House passed an amended form of the bill that now needs Senate approval.

“That would substantially impact our disciplinary measures as we move forward,” Sawin said.

He also mentioned House Bill 1498, which proposes to exclude any school board meetings designated solely for the discussion of school safety and security measures from the Open Meetings Act requirement. That bill now needs approval by Gov. Bruce Rauner, he said.

Bussean Custom Caterers ‘took a risk on Union Station,’ councilman argues • UNION STATION

Continued from page 3 the city can get may be to put out requests for proposals.

“Are we getting the best bang for our buck?” McFarland asked. “The only way we know that is by opening it up [to other proposals].”

McFarland noted Bussean initially got the lease in 2001 when the city issued a request for proposals. The lease later was renewed by the city without seeking other proposals.

Councilman Terry Morris said he wanted a quality operator like Bussean and not necessarily one that would offer Joliet the most money. “At the same time,” he added. “I’m thinking we need to open it up to be fair to other businesses.”

Councilwoman Jan Quillman said Bussean “has a vested interest in Joliet,” noting his other banquet facility in the city, the Patrick Haley Mansion. “He took a risk on Union Station when no one else would,” she said.

There may be more interest in Union Station, which opened in 1912 but ceased operating as a train station last year. The city is building a new train station and moved boarding platforms to the other side of the tracks.

Nick Ulatowski, general

He said brides-to-be who planned receptions at Union Station at times would drive up to the station, see people sleep-

ing inside, and leave. Bussean Custom Caterers would be notified by a phone call that they had changed their minds.

“The bookings are going to increase because this building is closed to the general public,” Ulatowski said.

WILMINGTON

Man charged in heroin death

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com WILMINGTON – A Dwight man was charged Wednesday with drug-induced homicide for the fatal overdose of a woman two years ago.

Joseph P. Alksnis, 24, already was in the Will County jail when he was served with an Joseph arrest warrant on charges of P. Alksnis drug-induced homicide and delivery of drugs, Wilmington Police Chief Phillip Arnold said.

Early on March 28, 2013, Heather Watson, 19, was found dead in her vehicle in the 800 block of Kahler Road.

The Will County Coroner’s

Office determined Watson died from a heroin overdose.

“After a painstaking and lengthy investigation, Detective Mathew Kiebles was able to piece together a puzzle of evidence that has led to the charges against Alksnis,” Arnold said.

“Working closely with the Will County State’s Attorney’s Office, Kiebles sifted and sorted through mounds of technological data, phone records, etc., and was able to construct a timeline of the events that lead to Watson’s death and identify Alksnis’ involvement.”

Alksnis has been locked up since March after being arrested by the Metropolitan Area Narcotics Squad on a charge of delivery of drugs.

He would need to post $900,000 to be released.

Senior Services Center of Will County names new director

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Duffy Blackburn hopes the new executive director for the Senior Services Center of Will County will set the center on the path to a solid financial foundation.

Barry Kolanowski, 62, was unanimously approved as executive director after an April 20 Board of Directors meeting, said Blackburn, board member and treasurer. Kolanowski was formally introduced to the board May 19, he said.

With Kolanowski’s nonprofit and fundraising experience, Blackburn said the center has found a “very good fit.”

“The center is in a financial position to continue providing services to seniors,” Blackburn said. “We’re hoping through Barry’s efforts and fundraising and good management we’ll continue to do that; and pay down our line of credit and continue on the way of putting the senior center on a solid finan-

cial foundation.”

Center officials announced Kolanowski’s hiring Thursday, which comes about three months after they announced they were facing a financial crisis, having maxed out the center’s line of credit while dealing with lagging state payments.

Previous director Pat Hensley was asked by the Board of Directors to resign in March.

Kolanowski Barry said he has decades of expeKolanowski rience working in nonprofit organizations and businesses, and has worked as a minister. He said the center is a place where he can “combine all those things I feel passionate about.”

He said he has a “strategic planner mentality.”

“I look at things from a business perspective. Does it make sense? Does it help us move forward?” Kolanowski said.

“ … My presence here isn’t to necessarily make things better but make things stronger. …

Making us stronger and moving forward is my best skill.”

Kolanowski’s prior experience in development includes working with the American Cancer Society and a business coaching practice.

He has served as an adjunct faculty member with the Small Business Development Center at Waubonsee Community College, founded the business coaching company Business Making Waves, has made presentations to Fortune 500 companies, authored two books and is a certified life coach.

Kolanowski said he plans on making personnel changes and wants to make more people aware of the center’s programs. On Thursday, he said he came out of a meeting where a part-time employee was promoted to full-time status after discovering the staff member had a degree in gerontology.

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.

PLAINFIELD

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com

The pursuit

Fisher said he was on the lookout at the intersection of 127th Street and 248th Avenue about 8 a.m. Thursday after receiving a call from a house where the juvenile often “caused trouble.”

Fisher was driving north on 248th Street when the 17-yearold, in a vehicle with a passenger, saw him and quickly drove into an access road and the preschool’s parking lot. After parking in a space, he ran.

Fisher tried to follow him

“We kept the children inside and we didn’t see a whole lot.”

Bettie Hemmerlein Creative World School owner

in the car, but the juvenile changed directions and Fisher followed him on foot around the north side of the building to the east side, where a 6-foot wrought-iron fence blocked him from the school.

Fisher said the juvenile then went through a service area and scaled a brick wall using the school’s air conditioning unit as leverage, dropping into the closed-off playground area.

Fisher also scaled the wall and was close enough to appre-

hend him.

“He started to run again and was within a few feet,” Fisher said. “I advised him I would use my taser if he didn’t comply. Also, he was exhausted. He made the wise choice and went to the ground.”

As Fisher made the arrest, backup arrived and took the car’s passenger, 32-year-old Rafat Hasan, into custody, charging him with possession of stolen property. Hasan was transported to the Will County Jail.

The preschool was just opening and children were arriving when the incident occurred. But Hemmerlein said everyone was safe.

“We kept the children inside and we didn’t see a whole lot.

The teachers did a great job explaining it to the children in an age-appropriate way. Nobody was crying and everybody was fine,” Hemmerlein said.

“It was good timing,” Fisher said. “If this happened half an hour later, there could have been kids and parents.”

PLAINFIELD – A wanted 17-year-old who scaled a brick wall into a preschool playground Thursday morning may have thought Plainfield Police Sgt. Mike Fisher wouldn’t continue pursuing him.

“But unfortunately for him, I climbed right behind him and was able to take him into custody,” Fisher said about the 17-year-old juvenile wanted on drug charges.

The juvenile was charged with three drug offenses, possession of stolen property, trespassing and resisting arrest.

The arrest occurred at Creative World School, a preschool at 24860 W. 127th St. No children were in danger or present

in the playground area at the time of the pursuit, according to a Plainfield Police Department news release.

“No one was ever in any danger at all,” said Bettie Hemmerlein, the preschool’s owner.

“It all went very, very fast. The police did a wonderful job.”

JOLIET

Police arrest suspect in robbery

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Police on Wednesday arrested a teen who they say robbed a man at gunpoint earlier this month.

Joliet Deputy Police Chief Al Roechner said a 40-yearold man came May 19 to the front desk of the Teren L. police station to Frazier report he was mugged by two men on the street.

“Earlier that morning, the victim had been at Shell Gas, 379 S. Chicago St., when two men started following him as he walked from the gas station,” Roechner said. “When he got to Des Plaines Street they produced a silver handgun and said, ‘You know what this is about.’ ” The men reportedly took the victim’s money and searched the backpack he was carrying before they ran off.

Roechner said investigators reviewed surveillance footage from the gas station

and identified Teren L. Frazier, 19, of the 300 block of South Des Plaines Street, as the armed suspect.

Police obtained a warrant to arrest Frazier on an armed robbery charge and took him into custody about 6 p.m.

Wednesday in the first block of McDonough Street.

According to Will County jail records, Frazier was arrested in October on a charge of unauthorized possession of a firearm. Since 2012, he has also been arrested on charges of delivery of marijuana, aggravated assault, criminal trespassing and traffic violations.

Fisher looks to expand We Care services, outreach

By MIKE MALLORY mmallory@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Eric Scott Fisher of Morris learned last week he was to be the next executive director of We Care of Grundy County, and he hopes to use his multimedia background to raise We Care’s profile in the community and online.

“Eric has a heart for service and for people,” We Care Board President Chuck Richardson said. “He’s cared about the mission of We Care.”

His desire to volunteer has grown over time. Fisher was recently inspired while producing a video for the open house for We Care’s larger new location at 530 Bedford Road.

“When I interviewed people, it was touching to hear their stories and the steps they’re taking to improve their situations,” Fisher said.

The clothing closet addition was big for We Care, Richardson said, but the building needs to add more programs and offerings because of the available space.

“We think Eric has the creativity and concern to determine what is best for We Care,” Richardson said.

Fisher has volunteered at We Care since 2008, taking part in activities, such as stocking shelves, creating videos and taking photos to document We Care’s progress and events.

“I’ve always believed in the mission,” Fisher said. “Especially with the economy in recent years, there’s a need for it.”

Fisher has ideas about how to extend We Care’s reach through multimedia. He hopes to highlight clients and volunteers, if they are willing, to showcase what We Care offers in both capacities.

“I think it’s big to show We Care gives a hand-up rather than a hand-out,” Fisher said.

“That’s something I was asked about in the interview, and I think We Care definitely provides a hand-up.”

We Care’s clothes closet offers quality items, Fisher said.

If someone needs clothing for a job interview, they can get it at

“Eric has a heart for service and for people.”

Chuck Richardson We Care board president We Care.

Local banks are participating in a financial skills academy at We Care, and Fisher hopes to develop more initiatives.

Fisher starts Monday and plans to make calls and knock on doors in his first week, to get the community’s thoughts on We Care.

Fisher said he’s organized, a trait he developed working several years as a project manager for a home builder.

Through Eric Scott Fisher Illustrations, he created and donated the website, wecareofgrundy.com and the We Care logo.

Metra adds weekend express trains June 6 THE HERALD–NEWS

(Kleinfeldt) Fisher have lived in Morris for the past 15 years.

In the fall their daughter, Molly, will be a freshman at Morris Community High School, located down the street from We Care. She will play in the marching band.

It’s great to be close by, Fisher said, and he plans to attend football games and other events to support his daughter.

The appointment comes after Executive Director Denise Gaska accepted a job with Illinois Valley Industries, a local nonprofit that serves adults with development disabilities.

Gaska’s last day at We Care is Friday.

As for what’s next for We Care as a whole, Richardson said it will work this summer to provide meals for children who typically would have free or reduced lunch at school.

Preparation for We Care at the Farm and other events will start soon.

JOLIET – Metra riders can reach Chicago about 20 minutes faster starting next weekend.

From June 6 to Nov. 29, Metra will add six express trains in both directions on Saturdays and Sundays to the Rock Island Line. Like weekday express trains, these will use the mainline tracks to bypass the Beverly Branch to

and from downtown Chicago.

Suburban customers going to a Beverly Branch station and branch riders heading to the suburbs that want to take one of the new trains will need to transfer at Blue Island.

New timetables will be available shortly on Rock Island trains and stations.

The new schedule also can be found at www.metrarail. com.

Al Gegenheimer Minooka Community Consolidated School District 201 superintendent too?” Martin said.

Gegenheimer said with the new Versatrans School Transportation Software, the district can gauge route times more accurately, saving time and money.

“The drivers have their routes for next year already, so they can run it and see how long the routes will take,” Gegenheimer said.

Martin disagreed and said the safety of children is more important.

“What if the driver is paid for two hours and 15 minutes and their route takes three hours one day because of bad weather or traffic, so they speed? I would rather pay that extra time so we can keep the kids safe,” Martin said.

The board approved the per route payment structure; Martin voted against. Board President Jim Satorius said the situation will be monitored.

Superintendent search

Satorius said there are 42 applicants for district superintendent and six candidates will be interviewed in two weeks.

Board Member Ed Cronin said he was concerned about attracting a high-quality superintendent, specifically pointing out Martin’s personal online blog has criticized Gegenheimer and the district.

“I read your blog and I don’t know what to say. Why would an A-team candidate

want to come and deal with that stuff, knowing what you have written about Al? We need a superintendent and a business manager and our pool of candidates is very small,” Cronin said. “I can’t believe what you have written about [Gegenheimer] and then he and his family have to go out in the community and face people.”

Martin said he writes what goes on in the meetings and it’s his First Amendment right to write the blog.

“If you don’t like it, don’t read it,” Martin told Cronin.

Gegenheimer is retiring early and his last day is June 5. Assistant Superintendent Stephen Palaniuk will be interim superintendent beginning June 6, until a new superintendent is hired.

The board also approved the hiring of five kindergarten teachers for the new fullday kindergarten rollout, with three to four more to be hired, depending on registrations, Palaniuk said.

MINOOKA – The restructuring of how bus drivers are paid created an at-times tense discussion Wednesday night during the Minooka Community Consolidated School District 201 Board meeting.

The back-and-forth debate was primarily between Superintendent Al Gegenheimer and Board Member Doug Martin, after Gegenheimer proposed returning to a pay-perroute payment for the drivers, instead of an hourly rate.

“When I came to Minooka, the drivers were getting paid per route, but they were only doing one route, and one hour of work, but getting paid for two hours,” Gegenheimer said. “So, we went to an hourly system and using time cards. Now it’s a problem, because some drivers are accusing other drivers of padding time cards.”

Bus drivers are responsible for their route, gassing

the buses, performing a safety check and cleaning the bus while on the clock.

According to Gegenheimer, the accusations are causing hours of work for transportation department staff as they check bus video to verify the submitted hours from drivers. He said it also has led to a divisive staff.

“Every two weeks, employees feel their credibility is being questioned because someone accused them of padding their time card,” Gegenheimer said, adding in most cases accusations prove to be unfounded.

Martin objected when Gegenheimer said he would like the board to approve a system where drivers are paid 2 hours and 15 minutes each route.

“We are trading one problem for another. If someone works less and someone works more and still gets paid the same amount, don’t you think that is going to cause a division with the employees

“Every two weeks, employees feel their credibility is being questioned because someone accused them of padding their time card.”

BASEMENT ENTRANCE YARD ORNAMENTS

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS JOLIET – Elwood farmer Harold Lange was busy bagging radishes, kale, herbs and other greens for customers who turned out Thursday to Joliet Junior College’s Farmers Market – the first of the season.

Greens are in abundance this time of year, but that will change. Just give it a couple weeks, the 73-year-old farmer said, and soon, you’ll find summer squash, sweet corn and other colorful vegetables and fruits lining the farmer’s tables.

“A lot of people aren’t familiar with when things are in season. We’ll get green beans in July,” Lange said.

Thursday’s event kicked off JJC’s third annual Farmers Market at the Greenhouse Facility parking lot, on the Main Campus along Houbolt Road.

People will find new items and fresh produce every week, he said.

“You’ll find something new every time,” said Lange, who owns a 30-acre farm in Elwood with his wife, Janet.

Vendors on Thursday displayed fruits, vegetables,

Market manager Dorothy Rosier said the farmers market does not allow commercial sellers, aiming to keep the operation exclusive for relatively local farmers so the money stays in Illinois and the Midwest.

The farmer’s market at JJC began in 2013 thanks to a $92,000 U.S. Department of Agriculture grant, Rosier said, in part to bring a farmer’s market to an area that’s federally desig-

Dwight to get federal money for first-responder capabilities SHAW MEDIA WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., announced Wednesday the Federal Emergency Management Agency has awarded $866,923 in grants to communities throughout Illinois, including Dwight.

The funding will support and improve the capability of each department to respond to fires and other types of emergencies, according to a news release from Durbin.

Dwight Emergency Medical Services is set to receive $55,985.

“This federal funding will ensure that when fires or other emergencies occur in our communities, our nation’s firefighters and

No one injured in two Joliet fires Tuesday

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Firefighters responded to two separate house fires Tuesday in Joliet.

The first was reported about 9 a.m. at a single-story residence in the 400 block of Wheeler Avenue.

“An insurance adjuster was in the neighborhood for a previous fire when he saw the smoke,” Battalion Fire Chief Jeff Carey said. “Nobody was home, but he kicked in the door to get the dog out safely.”

The blaze, which appears to have started on the outside of the house, caused $30,000 in damage. The cause of the fire is under investigation.

About 11 p.m., firefighters were called to a fire on the back porch at a house in the 1400 block of Newton Avenue.

“No one was injured and there was some minor damage to the stairs,” Carey said.

“The cause is still under investigation, but we’ve noted the [occupant] was working on a project with a propane torch.”

first-responders have access to the best resources and the equipment necessary to help protect them as they protect us,” Durbin said in the news release.

Buffalo Grove is receiving the most money, at $253,364.

Other communities receiving money include Addison, Kewanee, Montgomery and

Countryside, Richton, Riverdale, Rockford and Sycamore, according to the news release.

The money is provided through the DHS’s Assistance to Firefighters Grant Program, which seeks to strengthen the nation’s overall level of preparedness and ability to respond to fire and fire-related hazards.

The Salvation Army commemorates history with ‘Doughnut Day’

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The “Doughnut Girls” during the World War I era were famous for providing prayer and relief to soldiers at a time when gift packages and donations weren’t common.

The Salvation Army will commemorate the Salvation Army workers with a “Doughnut Day” donation collection event Friday, Saturday and next weekend at Jewel-Osco stores throughout Will County.

“The name comes from the Doughnut Girls,” The Salvation Army Capt. Ruth Sellen said. “They made doughnuts to remind soldiers of home.”

The Doughnut Girls, from several different ministries in the United States, prayed with soldiers during the war. They wrote letters to the families of soldiers who died, and even prayed over the graves of enemy soldiers.

The Salvation Army volunteers will collect donations in front of the doors of Jewel-Os-

The best fathers do more than watch their children grow. They instill in them a purpose and teach them what it means to live a meaningful life.

On Thursday, May 21, 2015, Anthony LaPaso passed away at Northwestern Medical Center surrounded by his most treasured possession; his family. A Joliet native, Tony was born on February 11, 1942.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Anthony and Helen (Matay) LaPaso; and brother, Kenneth (Carolyn) LaPaso.

Tony married his best friend, Sandy (Bates), on August 3, 1963.

They lovingly raised three children, Anthony LaPaso III, Tami (James) Blake, and Traci (Douglas) Plut.

He is survived by his precious grandchildren, Olivia and Jimmy Blake, Tarah, Alainna, and Evan Plut; two sisters, Linda (Gordon) Bruce, and Susan LaPaso; along with numerous nieces and nephews.

One of his fondest memories was being the first baseman on Joliet’s 1956 Pony League World Series Championship team. He was also a gifted carpenter - Local # 174 who took much pride in his craftsmanship.

Tony was a soft-spoken man who was always gentle and polite to everyone he met. We never heard him speak ill of any person. He was a man of seemingly infinite patience and generosity.

He enjoyed fishing and watching the Cubs, but his greatest joys were activities with his grandchildren: Picking apples, watching movies, picnics at the beach, or simply visiting at the kitchen table.

Tony’s most profound gifts were the principles by which he lived: Have faith in God, care for others, love of family and friends, put the welfare of others ahead of yourself and forgive without limits.

God gave us a beautiful, gentle man whom we were privileged to call husband, dad, and papa.

We will forever be grateful for the wonderful time we had together and the wisdom he shared with us.

We can only attempt to live a life as selfless, caring and giving as he did. Although our humble hero has passed, his calm spirit will forever live in the hearts of his family and those who loved him.

In lieu of flowers, donations in memory of Tony may be made to St. Mary Nativity Church.

A Celebration of Tony’s life will begin with a visitation on Saturday, May 30, 2015, from 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m., at St. Mary Nativity Catholic Church (706 N. Broadway St., Joliet) followed by a Mass of Christian Burial at 11:00 a.m. There will be no services at the funeral home.

Prepared for primary challenge

News from across the state

House committee approves police body camera measure

SPRINGFIELD – Illinois soon could establish statewide rules for the use of police body cameras, but the proposed legislation would not require officers to have them.

A package of police reforms passed the House on Thursday with a 107-3 vote and now heads back to a Senate committee to start final approval.

Supporters of the bipartisan package say it is designed to help improve relations between police departments and the community. But Republicans expressed frustration Thursday with debate being cut off on the crime reform measure before they could speak. The measure was opened back up for more debate and a second vote after passing earlier in the day. Democrats are attempting to push through a stack of budget bills before the May 31 deadline.

Many of the ideas in it came in response to officer-related deaths in Ferguson, Missouri, and elsewhere. Lawmakers in several other states are pushing for similar reforms. Backers of the Illinois measure said the state would be the first in the country to implement statewide rules for police body cameras.

Effort to expand gambling likely pushed into summer

SPRINGFIELD – An effort to generate much-needed revenue for Chicago and Illinois by opening a city-owned casino and expanding gambling elsewhere could be pushed into summer as lawmakers negotiate a deal that could include “satellite” casinos in central and southern Illinois.

Supporters say they believe conditions are right for a deal

U.S. Rep. Tammy Duckworth, D-Ill., seen Aug. 13 in Springfield, said Thursday a potential challenger in the Democratic primary for Republican U.S. Sen. Mark Kirk’s seat won’t hurt her in a 2016 contest that’s already heating up. Duckworth, who was recently elected to a second term in U.S. House from her Chicago-area district, could face Chicago Urban League President Andrea Zopp in the March primary in the U.S. Senate race. Zopp recently announced she was forming a campaign team. “Whoever is in the primary is going to, on the Democratic side certainly, be bringing focus on Mark Kirk’s failures at serving his district,” Duckworth told reporters. Kirk spokesman Kevin Artl said a potential primary challenger shows that Duckworth is “a lackluster candidate with a weak record.”

this year, with Chicago facing ballooning public-pension payments and Illinois dealing with a multibillion-dollar budget deficit.

But it’s unlikely it will get done before the Legislature adjourns its spring session Sunday. That’s because of the complicated nature of gambling negotiations and a stalemate between Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner and Democratic leaders who control the General Assembly.

While Rauner has been supportive of new gambling, he wants the Legislature to agree to pass some of his legislative priorities, such as freezing property taxes, before he signs off on a bill. Democrats have so far shot down Rauner’s proposals, setting the stage for an overtime legislative session this summer.

Report: schools czar paid through agency facing cuts

SPRINGFIELD – Gov. Bruce Rauner is paying the hefty salary of his new education secretary from the budget of the state human services agency, where he recommended millions of dollars in cuts to programs aimed at dealing with autism, epilepsy and burials for the indigent, according to records that the Chicago Sun-Times obtained under the Freedom of Information Act. Rauner hired former charter school director Beth Purvis at an annual salary of $250,000, making it the highest-paid position in the governor’s cabinet at the time. Purvis’ March 13 contract indicates she will be paid under

the Department of Human Services, even while reporting directly to the governor’s office.

Three weeks after the contract was signed, Rauner’s office announced the agency was strapped for cash and called for $26 million in service cuts, the Chicago Sun-Times reported.

The cuts led to some programs completely shutting down, and House Speaker Michael Madigan held a public hearing on the matter, saying Democrats believed a budget deal with Rauner protected such services.

The cuts eventually were restored by the Rauner administration, which said it found additional revenue. But Rauner’s proposed budget for fiscal year 2016 calls for more cuts within the agency.

Naperville man pleads guilty to air traffic facility fire

CHICAGO – A suburban contractor pleaded guilty Thursday to setting a fire at a Chicago-area radar facility in September that forced the cancellation of thousands of flights and disrupted travel nationwide, while prosecutors estimated that losses from the incident likely exceed $100 million.

Brian Howard, 37, of Naperville stood with his legs shackled in U.S. District Court in Chicago as he entered the pleas to willfully destroying an air navigation facility and using fire to commit a felony. Under his plea deal, he faces at least a mandatory decade behind bars.

Howard told a judge he was taking the antidepressant Zoloft, but replied, “No, your honor” when asked if either the drug or his underlying condition impaired his judgment in making the pleas.

April unemployment rates fall in all metropolitan areas

CHICAGO – The Illinois Department of Employment Security said unemployment fell in every metro area in the state in April. It was the 14th consecutive month of decreases across the state’s metro regions.

The Bloomington area had the lowest jobless rate last month at 3.9 percent, down from 4.9 percent a year earlier.

Champaign-Urbana was a close second at 4.1 percent. That was down from 5.2 percent.

The Chicago-Naperville-Arlington Heights unemployment rate fell to 5.9 percent form 7.1 percent a year earlier.

The statewide rate for April reported earlier this month was 6 percent.

But the department noted only eight of the 14 metro areas it tracks added jobs. Those that lost jobs included Peoria, Decatur and the Carbondale-Marion area.

NATION BRIEFS Former N.Y. GOP governor chief of staff, told reporters the Pataki in race for president problem may have been a failure EXETER, N.H. – George Pataki, the 9/11-era New York governor who achieved electoral success as a Republican in a heavily Democratic state, announced his candidacy for the presidential nomination Thursday, offering himself as a unifying figure in a divided nation.

Just as he was overshadowed after the 2001 terrorist attacks

by Mayor Rudy Giuliani in New York City and President George W. Bush, Pataki opened his 2016 campaign in the shadow of better known rivals. Out of office since 2006, he’s a clear underdog in a bustling pack of favorites and longshots.

Pataki told about 150 supporters an increasingly intrusive government is jeopardizing the freedoms past generations fought for, and he will fight to get government out of people’s way.

People attend a vigil Thursday for members of the McComb family, who are still missing because of flash-flooding, at the convent chapel of the Sisters of the Incarnate Word and Blessed Sacrament in Corpus Christi, Texas. Members of the family, including two children, are still missing after the vacation home they were in Sunday was swept away by flood water in Wimberley, Texas.

Heavy rain eases Texas drought, but high water could last to July

By JUAN A. LOZANO and SETH ROBBINS The Associated Press HOUSTON – This week’s record rainfall in Texas eased the state’s drought and swelled rivers and lakes to the point that they may not return to normal levels until July, scientists said Thursday.

Just weeks ago, much of the state was parched with varying levels of drought. But the same drenching rainfall that paralyzed parts of Houston and swept away a vacation home with eight people inside also offered relief from a long dry spell.

Many cities still were in danger of flooding as heavy rain from earlier in the week poured downstream, pushing rivers over their banks.

“There’s so much water in Texas and Oklahoma that it’s going to take quite a while for those rivers to recede,” said Mark Wiley, a National Weather Service meteorologist in Fort Worth, Texas.

If normal amounts of pre-

cipitation return, rivers probably will drop to average levels by the Fourth of July, he said.

“Six months ago, we were dying for this stuff,” he said.

“And now we’re saying, ‘Please, please stop.’ ” On Wednesday, the Houston area got a respite from the rain, but by Thursday runoff from earlier in the week had lifted the San Jacinto River above flood stage, and it kept climbing. Nearby residents watched the high water with alarm.

“We came back out here today to get a few of our things that we had parked by the road,” said Brian Harmon, who lives in suburban Kingwood. “The water keeps rising and rising. We didn’t want to lose anything else.”

Harmon’s home had up to 2 feet of water. Nearby streets had water rushing over them.

“It’s very stressful,” he said. “I’m very tired of it.”

About 60 miles southwest of Houston, the mayor of Wharton asked residents to voluntarily evacuate about

300 homes because of the predicted rise of the Colorado River.

And in the rural Parker County community of Horseshoe Bend, some 40 miles southwest of Fort Worth, officials asked people in 250 homes to flee from the Brazos River.

By early Thursday, Parker County Emergency Management spokesman Joel Kertok said the Brazos had almost crested, but officials had no immediate reports of flooded homes and were monitoring the situation.

He said the river, which has a flood level of 21 feet, was at nearly 24 feet.

This week’s storms and floods in Texas and Oklahoma have left at least 23 people dead and at least 14 others missing.

In Miami, President Barack Obama said the flooding should serve as a reminder of the need to make the nation more resilient against natural disasters. He said climate change is affecting both the pace and intensity of storms.

Hastert charged regarding hush money payments

By MICHAEL TARM The Associated Press CHICAGO – Former U.S. House Speaker Dennis Hastert agreed to pay $3.5 million in hush money to keep an unidentified person silent about “prior misconduct” by the Illinois Republican who was once second in line to the U.S. presidency, according to a federal grand jury indictment handed down on Thursday in Chicago.

The indictment, which does not describe the misconduct Hastert allegedly was trying to conceal, charges the 73-yearold with one count of evading bank regulations as he withdrew tens of thousands of dollars at a time to make the payments. He also is charged with one count of lying to the FBI about the reason for the unusual bank withdrawals.

Each count of the indictment carries a maximum penalty of 5 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.

Hastert, who had worked as a lobbyist in Washington, D.C., since shortly after he left Congress in 2007, resigned from the law firm of Dickstein Shapiro LLC, a spokesman for the lobbying group said Thursday.

The firm’s website had described Hastert as a “featured attorney” as late as Thursday afternoon, but his contact details appeared to have been removed from the website hours later. Firm spokesman Jason Huntsman did not have further details.

The seven-page indictment

AP file photo

Former U.S. House Speaker Dennis Hastert speaks to lawmakers March 5, 2008, on the Illinois House floor at the state Capitol in Springfield. alleges that Hastert withdrew a total of around $1.7 million in cash from various bank accounts from 2010 to 2014, and then provided it to the person identified in the indictment only as Individual A. Hastert allegedly agreed to pay the person $3.5 million, but never apparently paid that full amount.

It notes Hastert was a high school teacher and coach from 1965 to 1981 in Yorkville. While the indictment says Individual A has been a resident of Yorkville and has known Hastert most of his life, it doesn’t describe their relationship.

The indictment says Hastert agreed to the payments af-

ter multiple meetings in 2010.

It says that “during at least one of the meetings, Individual A and defendant discussed past misconduct by defendant against Individual A that had occurred years earlier” and Hastert agreed to pay Individual A $3.5 million “in order to compensate for and conceal his prior misconduct against Individual A,” the indictment says.

The indictment says that between 2010 and 2012 Hastert made fifteen $50,000 withdrawals of cash from bank accounts at Old Second Bank, People’s State Bank and Castle Bank and gave cash to Individual A

around every six weeks.

Around April 2012, bank officials began questioning Hastert about the large withdrawals, and starting in July of that year, Hastert reduced the amounts he withdrew at a time to less than $10,000 – apparently so they would not run afoul of a regulation designed to stop illicit activity such as money laundering, according to the indictment.

Among the focuses of the FBI investigation was whether Hastert, in the words of the indictment, was “the victim of a criminal extortion related to, among other matters, his prior positions in government.”

The court document does not elaborate.

Investigators questioned Hastert on Dec. 8, 2014 and he lied about why he had been withdrawing so much money at a time. He told investigators he did it because he didn’t trust the banking system, the indictment alleges.

“Yeah ... I kept the cash.

That’s what I am doing,” it quotes Hastert as saying.

Hastert, who also maintains a home in Plano, was a little-known lawmaker from suburban Chicago when chosen to succeed conservative Newt Gingrich as speaker.

Hastert was picked after favored Louisiana Congressman Bob Livingston resigned following his admission of several sexual affairs.

As speaker, Hastert pushed President George W. Bush’s legislative agenda, helping pass a massive tax cut and expanding Medicare prescription drug benefits.

He retired from Congress in 2007 after eight years as speaker, making him the longest-serving Republican House speaker. He was second in line to the presidency during those years after the vice president.

David Corwin of Yorkville said his son, Scott, wrestled for Hastert in high school, then later became a wrestling coach himself.

“You won’t get anyone to say anything bad about him out here,” said David Corwin. “Everybody loved him. The kids loved him and they still do.”

Defiant soccer chief resists calls to resign amid scandal

By GRAHAM DUNBAR The Associated Press ZURICH –As defiant as ever, Sepp Blatter resisted calls to resign as FIFA president Thursday and deflected blame for the massive bribery and corruption scandal engulfing soccer’s world governing body.

“We, or I, cannot monitor everyone all of the time,” Blatter said in his first public remarks on the crisis that has further tainted his leadership on the eve of his bid for a fifth term as president.

The 79-year-old Blatter insisted he could restore trust

in world soccer after a pair of corruption investigations brought “shame and humiliation” on his organization and the world’s most popular sport.

“We cannot allow the reputation of football and FIFA to be dragged through Sepp Blatter the mud any longer,” he said. “It has to stop here and now.”

Despite a tide of criticism and pressure on him to leave, Blatter is moving ahead with a presidential election Friday that is likely to bring him an-

other four years in office as one of them most powerful men in sports.

“The events of yesterday have cast a long shadow over football,” he said, his voice shaky at times, in a speech to open FIFA’s two-day congress.

“There can be no place for corruption of any kind.”

Blatter refused to back down after European soccer body UEFA demanded earlier Thursday that he quit following the latest – and most serious allegations – to discredit FIFA during his 17 years in office.

“Enough is enough,” UEFA

President Michel Platini said.

“People no longer want him anymore and I don’t want him anymore either.”

Platini met privately with Blatter and asked him to go.

“I am asking you to leave FIFA, to step down because you are giving FIFA a terrible image,” Platini said he told Blatter. “In terms of our image, it is not good at all and I am the first one to be disgusted by this.”

Blatter, who is expected to win Friday’s election against Prince Ali bin al-Hussein of Jordan, is coming under increasing scrutiny amid U.S. and Swiss federal investiga-

tions into high-level corruption tearing at FIFA. A U.S. Justice Department investigation accused 14 international soccer officials or sports marketing executives of bribery, racketeering, fraud and money-laundering over two decades in connection with marketing rights worth hundreds of millions of dollars awarded for tournaments in North and South America.

Seven officials – including two FIFA vice presidents and members of its finance committee – remained in custody in Zurich on Thursday. Blatter was not implicated in the indictment.

CLASS 4 JOLIET WEST REGIONAL BASEBALL SEMIFINAL: MINOOKA 11, JOLIET WEST 3 (8 INN.)

Sanchez powers Minooka to wild victory

By DICK GOSS dgoss@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Whoever said you see something different in every baseball game hit the nail on the head.

Minooka lost its head coach, Jeff Petrovic, to an ejection on the third batter at the top of the first inning Thursday. The Indians lost another potential good inning on a disputed call.

Right-hander Miguel Ruiz walked seven batters in the first three innings and wound up throwing 125 pitches in seven innings.

And yet, Cristian Sanchez found a way to power the Indians to an 11-3, eight-inning victory over Joliet West in a semifinal of the Class 4A West Regional.

Yes, 11-3 was the final score after Sanchez’s three-run triple, after a huge Tigers’ error, keyed an eight-run top of the eighth inning.

“If someone came late to this game, they never would have thought any of this could have happened,” Ruiz said.

Sanchez’s foot was the cause of the early hullabaloo. He digs in at the plate with his right foot barely touching the back line of the batter’s box.

West coach John Karczewski and catcher Eastin May questioned whether Sanchez was in the box. As soon as he fouled off a 2-1 pitch from Tigers ace left-hander Robert Talarico, the home plate umpire called him out for hitting a pitch with a foot outside the box.

Minooka had runners at first and second with nobody out at the time as Hayden Laczynski opened the game with a single and Kevin Null bunted for hit.

Petrovic came in from the third-base coach’s box and confronted the umpire.

“Cristian has stood in the same spot in the box for two years,” Petrovic said. “Every umpire knows his back foot is on the line. I asked him [umpire] to ask for help from the base umpire, and he didn’t want to.”

Petrovic’s ejection means he will not coach the third-seeded Indians (21-13) when they take on No. 4 Plainfield South at 10

coach Jim Lamping finally convinced Ruiz his work was finished, is hitting nearly .500 and is an obvious key to the Minooka lineup. However, he is a Seventh-day Adventist and thus has not played on Saturdays. The Indians will miss his presence against South.

“Cristian is just a great asset to our team,” said Ruiz, who understandably was iced in multiple places after his marathon effort. “But he didn’t need to pitch the last inning. I wanted to finish what I started.”

West scored single runs in each of the first three innings and left the bases loaded in the first and third. Ruiz walked nobody, allowed two hits and faced two batters over the minimum over his final four innings.

“I had to adjust,” he said.

“I had to throw pitches higher than I usually do because I wasn’t getting the low strikes.”

Talarico pitched six innings, allowing three runs on eight hits while striking out nine.

ball next year, Romeoville only had two seniors, one junior and two sophomores to go a long with a large number of freshmen.

That’s why the Spartans’ performance after falling behind quickly, although not necessarily unexpected, was commended by their coach.

“I’m just so proud of these girls and with the way that they’ve grown together,” Douglas said. “Today, they executed everything that we worked on – but, unfortunately, Joliet West got the early advantage. A couple of calls here and there, and it might have been a different game.

But my girls played exactly how we’ve been practicing, with no letup, and that goes a long ways, rather than winning or losing.

“Sometimes, when you see our roster, you think that the young mistakes will get to us. But we learned very early and picked ourselves back

In the opening inning, Kiley Robb singled home Jen Ames and Alysia Rodriguez, and an inning later, courtesy runner Stacey Stanton scored on Ames’ infield out, and Ariana Liceaga came home a bit later.

The Tigers made it 5-0 in the third when Robb doubled

and then scored on an error.

But the Spartans pounded out five hits in the fourth to give them more hits in that inning than West managed for the entire game.

Skye Osborne and Maddie Massaro got the rally started with singles before the next two hitters were retired. But after a walk to Asia Robinette loaded the bases, Bailey Kavaliunas drove in her team’s first run with a hit up the middle.

Rhiannon Zeffield followed with an RBI hit to right, and then Ally Zeigler singled to center to make it 5-3. Pitcher Robb coaxed a groundout to get out of the mess.

Robb allowed only two more hits and three additional baserunners during her final three innings to record the complete-game win.

West added two insurance runs in the sixth. The first came on an error, and Kristen Ames tallied on an infield hit

CLASS 3A LEMONT BASEBALL REGIONAL SEMIFINAL: LEMONT 7, LINCOLN-WAY WEST 2

Lemont eyes JCA after topping Lincoln-Way West

By DRAKE SKLEBA Shaw Media Correspondent LEMONT – Facing a major test in defending its Class 3A state baseball championship, Lemont took on Lincoln-Way West on Thursday.

The Indians, behind sophomore right-hander Ryan Sublette, passed their initial title-defense test with flying colors as Lemont beat West, 7-2, in the Class 3A Lemont Regional semifinal. Sublette (4-1) fired a six-hitter against the Southwest Suburban Red champion Warriors, and both runs he allowed were unearned.

St. Louis University recruit Garrett Acton had two hits, including a double, and drove home three Indian runs. Austin Tittle hit a homer at the Lemont Sports Complex with Nate Broskovetz aboard.

Lemont (19-13) struck for two runs in the top of the first inning on the first of Acton’s

two hits, a two-run single, for an early 2-0 lead. Casey O’Brien made it 3-0 for the Indians with a booming RBI double.

Meanwhile, Sublette was mowing down the Warriors, allowing only a single to Adam Kneer in the first three innings.

In the top of the fourth, all after two outs, the Indians extended their lead to 5-0. Nick Wisz and Acton hit back-toback RBI doubles.

“We really came out very aggressive at the plate,” Acton said. “I am very happy with my performance. It felt good to get the big hit in the first inning to get us going. We are all really proud of Ryan (Sublette) for all that he did for us. We have to come out once again with the energy and play the way we did today against JCA on Saturday.”

In the top of the sixth, Tittle got his third hit, the two-run bomb, to give the Indians a

“We really came out very aggressive at the plate. I am very happy with my performance. It felt good to get the big hit in the first inning to get us going. We are all really proud of Ryan (Sublette) for all that he did for us. We have to come out once again with the energy and play the way we did today against JCA on Saturday.”

Garrett Acton Lemont senior commanding 7-0 lead.

“We came out and hit the ball great,” Tittle said. “Ryan pitched great, we hit great, and we played solid defense to pick up this big win. I got a pitch I could drive out for my first home run of the season.”

Sublette continued to pitch well, allowing his second hit of the game in the bottom of the sixth. In the bottom of the seventh, after a two-out Indian miscue, he surrendered two

runs, both unearned, and settled for a six-hitter.

“I tried to throw strikes and keep ahead of the hitters,” Sublette said. “My fastball was working well, and I was grateful for the big lead. This was a great victory for us. Great start for us in the playoffs.”

Lincoln-Way West concludes an outstanding season for coach Jake Zajc, finishing 29-6 with a Southwest Suburban Conference Red champi-

onship.

“I want to give credit to Lemont. They played well and beat us,” Zajc said. “It was tough for us falling behind early, and Sublette pitched a great game for them. This was a great group who should be proud of what we did. We won 29 games and won a conference championship. I am very proud of them.”

Lemont next faces JCA (286-1), the No. 3 team in Illinois according to The Prep Baseball Report. The two schools will square off for the regional title at 11 a.m. Saturday.

“Brand new season for us,” Lemont coach Brian Storako said. “Ryan has pitched well for us all season and pitched a great game for us today. Garrett has been pitching well for us this year, and when he hasn’t been pitching, he has been hitting well as he did today. Austin has hit the ball to all fields, and I was glad to see him hit his first homer of the season.”

YORKVILLE – It might not have been the prettiest win Joliet West’s softball team has claimed this season, but coach Heather Suca isn’t complaining.

That’s because the Tigers coach knows the name of the game in the playoffs is advancing, and that’s what her squad did in Thursday’s Class 4A Yorkville Regional semifinal.

West grabbed a 5-0 lead after three innings before Romeoville made things interesting with a three-run fourth. But the Tigers avoided any further drama and captured a 7-3 win.

That advanced West (229) to Saturday’s 11 a.m. final against Lincoln-Way Central (26-10). The Tigers will try to win their second straight regional and third in four years.

Suca wasn’t surprised coach Christina Douglas’

Spartans (12-14) continued to fight after falling into an early hole.

“They’re a scrappy team, so we knew that they weren’t going to roll over, and that’s exactly what happened,” Suca said. “They put a little pressure on us, but I was just happy to see after that we came back, and that’s all that I can ask of my girls. We were playing our small ball and got all of our bunts down. Lily (Ongkiko) came up with a perfect infield single, which is all that we needed to do. We’ve been preaching small ball and finding a gap.

“Props to Romeoville, but a win’s a win, and I’ll take it, since that’s all that matters.

We won the game, and the girls came out strong at the beginning, and they finished at the end. “ While the Tigers’ lineup features a veteran cast that includes several players who will be moving on to college

JOLIET JUNIOR COLLEGE BASEBALL

JJC’s King ‘pretty pleased’ with its runner-up finish STAFF REPORT KINSTON, N.C. – Wayne King has won three NJCAA Division III national championships during his Hall of Fame career as baseball coach at Joliet Junior College.

This year’s team came up short in its bid to make it four, as the Wolves dropped a 10-9 decision to unbeaten Tyler (Texas) in Wednesday night’s championship game. JJC had to win that game and would have had to beat the Apaches again Thursday to win it all. However, there was nothing disappointing about finishing second.

“I’m pretty pleased with our finish,” King said Thursday. “We accomplished more than I thought we might. We played well [at the World Series] except for a couple rough stretches.

“Last night’s game was typical for us. We made five errors, gave seven or eight walks and left a bunch of guys on base. But we managed to stay in the game. I guess that’s our typical realm this season.”

JJC (38-25), which lost to Tyler, 10-0, Monday night and finished 4-2 in the World Series, played from behind throughout the championship game.

King said before the national tournament that JJC, which also finished second in 1995 and 2007, had to play defense to win. The defense had not always been up to par this season, and in the title game, the Wolves committed five errors that led to six unearned runs.

Thomas Jeffries (Providence), the winning pitcher in Saturday’s opening game at the World Series, pitched the first four innings and

allowed five runs, two earned, on three hits and five walks. He struck out three. Trevor Maly (Minooka) worked the final five innings, yielding five runs, two earned, on eight hits and one walk. He struck out four.

Tyler took a 3-0 lead in the second inning and scored once in the top of the fourth for a 4-0 edge. JJC got on the board with two in the fourth, but Tyler scored three in the fifth to lead, 7-2.

The Wolves got close with four runs in the bottom of the fifth, an inning highlighted by Colten Trager’s two-run double. Trager finished with three RBIs. Tyler added two runs in the sixth and one in the seventh to stretch its lead to 10-6. JJC responded with three runs in the bottom of the inning to make it 10-9. However, the Tyler bullpen shut down the Wolves from there, retiring the side in order in the eighth and ninth innings to clinch the national championship.

David “Duke” Hill (Providence), Ron Sessler (Lockport) and Cameron Bass all had two of JJC’s eight hits. One of Sessler’s hits was a double. Hill, Sessler, Brennan Polcyn (Minooka) and Jake Drada represented JJC on the all-tournament team.

“David Hill just had a great tournament,” King said. “He and Ronnie [Sessler], they were hitting the ball well all tournament long.”

All in all, it was another memorable season for the Wolves.

“We started off 3-12,” King said. “We came a long way. The kids scrapped all year and battled through injuries. They performed when they needed to.”

Sox split with Orioles in doubleheader from April

By DAVID GINSBURG The Associated Press BALTIMORE – The White Sox were a weary bunch after playing 18 innings during a one-day stop in Baltimore.

Chris Sale struck out 12 over 72⁄3 shutout innings to lead the Sox to a 3-2 victory in Thursday’s Game 1 against the Orioles, who rebounded to win the second game 6-3 in a doubleheader caused by rioting in Baltimore last month.

The doubleheader was scheduled after games on April 27-28 were postponed because of violence and looting near Camden Yards following the funeral of Freddie Gray, a black man who died of injuries sustained while in police custody. The third game of that series was played without fans in the stadium.

A crowd of 18,441 showed up Thursday.

The Sox came from Toronto for the doubleheader and departed for a trip to Houston after the game.

“It was supposed to be an off day for us,” Sox manager Robin Ventura said. “We come in from a long stretch in Canada. You come in here and play two games and

you’re off again. It is what it is. ... Now we’re all tired.”

The nightcap featured a matchup of rookie righthanders. Chris Beck (0-1) made his major league debut for the Sox and Mike Wright (2-0) was starting for the third time after scoreless appearances against the Angels and Miami.

Wright’s spotless ERA vanished on his fifth pitch, when Adam Eaton hit a solo shot to center.

Beck got off to a similar start, allowing a triple to leadoff hitter Manny Machado and an RBI double to Chris Davis.

Adam LaRoche hit a tworun homer in the third for the Sox. Steve Clevenger and J.J. Hardy delivered RBI singles in the bottom half for a 4-3 lead.

B e c k , t h e S o x ’ s s e cond-round pick in the 2012 draft, gave up four earned runs, 10 hits and four walks in six innings. He was called up from Triple-A Charlotte before the game as the 26th player in the doubleheader.

“Unfortunately I didn’t get the job done,” he said. “It is something to build on and to take back to Charlotte with me.”

ARLINGTON HEIGHTS – Last weekend’s Joliet West co-op sectional boys tennis tournament featured two outstanding doubles tandems that figured to be factors in the state meet that opened Thursday.

That indeed was the case.

The sectional champions, Joliet West senior Tom Carney and freshman Morgan Red, won their first two matches before dropping a marathon 7-6 (9), 2-6, 7-6 (4) decision to New Trier’s Jeffrey Chen and Mahir Wagh.

Meanwhile, the sectional

second-place team of Lemont seniors Nick Urban and Nate Burner recorded straight-set victories in their first three matches. That’s the longest any area entries lasted in the championship bracket.

The Joliet West Sectional singles champion, Lockport freshman Jack Randall, won his first two matches before suffering his first loss.

Those two doubles teams, along with Randall, were the only area entries to be seeded.

All three were 17-32 seeds.

All other area entries either are alive in the consolation bracket or were ousted

Bulls fire coach Tom Thibodeau after 5 seasons cite lack of trust

By ANDREW SELIGMAN The Associated Press CHICAGO – In five seasons under Tom Thibodeau, the Bulls soared to heights they had not reached since Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen were collecting championships.

They never got to the top with him, and now he is out.

The Bulls fired Thibodeau on Thursday, parting ways with the strong-willed coach who took the team to the playoffs in each of his five seasons, only to have his success overshadowed by his strained relationship with the front office.

“It is our strong belief that there needs to be a culture of communication that builds a trust throughout this organization from the players to the coaches to the management and to the front office, a culture where everyone is pulling in the same direction,” general manager Gar Forman said.

“When that culture is sacrificed, it becomes extremely difficult to evolve and to grow.”

Thibodeau went 255-139, a .647 winning percentage that ranks seventh in NBA history among coaches with at least 200 games. He led the Bulls to the top seed in the playoffs his first

two seasons and was the NBA’s Coach of the Year in 2011, the same year Derrick Rose became the league’s youngest MVP. He thanked Bulls fans, his players, staff and their families “who have honored me and the Bulls by their effort, love, dedication and professionalism.”

“We are proud of our many accomplishments, fought through adversity, and tried to give Tom our fans the full Thibodeau commitment to excellence they deserve,” Thibodeau said in a statement. “I love this game and am excited about what’s ahead for me with USA Basketball and the next coaching opportunity in the NBA.” The Bulls advanced to the Eastern Conference finals that season, but it’s the only time the Bulls made it past the second round under Thibodeau, who had two years left on his contract.

Iowa State coach Fred Hoiberg, who has not returned to work full-time following open heart surgery in April, is widely viewed as a top candi-

date to replace him.

The move comes two weeks after the Bulls were eliminated by Cleveland with a listless effort in Game 6 of the East semifinals that came on the heels of an injury-filled 50-win season.

Forman said the Bulls spent the past week or so conducting exit interviews with players and organizational meetings.

He insisted management was not holding out for compensation for Thibodeau and would have granted teams permission to talk to him had had they asked – but none did.

Either way, the gulf between the coach and his bosses was too large to bridge.

Chairman Jerry Reinsdorf made that clear in a long, scathing statement that said the organization has succeeded in part because of “a willingness to participate in a free flow of information” and that “internal discussions must not be considered an invasion of turf, and must remain private.”

“Teams that consistently perform at the highest levels are able to come together and be unified across the organization – staff, players, coaches, management and ownership,” Reinsdorf said.

OUR VIEW

Thumbs-up for caring for orphans The Herald-News Editorial Board offers this week’s thumbs-up and thumbs-down: Thumbs-up: to Mike Tackebury of Joliet, father of seven children, for caring so much about 24 children left orphaned by the 2010 Haiti earthquake that he helps organize events throughout the year to help pay for their care. His largest is an annual garage sale in June that raised $30,000 last year and required help from more than 40 volunteers. Tackebury even makes donating to the sale easy. If the location is reasonable, Tackebury will pick up items. What began as one concerned father holding a sale from his garage has expanded into a team of people who also host fundraisers for the Faith in Action Orphanage in Haiti.

Thumbs-down: to the withholding of state money for the Joliet Junior College City Center campus project. It makes no sense for the state to withhold money that was promised long ago. The project is completed and was done with a $25.5 million commitment from the state. Instead, the community college now has had to go into its own accounts to pay for completion of the project’s interior. It is true changes in administration can lead to a shifting of priorities, spending or otherwise. And the state’s budget woes are well-chronicled and apparent. But this “spending review” being conducted by the governor has the feeling of a state administration withholding cash to force through support for other policies.

That is wrong.

Thumbs-up: to 2015 Will County Spelling Bee champion Summit Kumar, who correctly spelled his second word Wednesday afternoon at the Scripps National Spelling Bee in Washington, D.C. Although he did not proceed to the semifinals, Summit spent a lot of time preparing for the bee. He looked at books made for spelling bee contestants and at SAT prep books for vocabulary. He read 60 pages of those books about six to eight hours every day. We commend Summit for representing his family, Troy Middle School and Will County well on a national stage.

AMENDMENT

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Stand up for families in need

To the Editor: Across Illinois, safety-net hospitals serve some of our most at-risk communities. They are a lifeline for small towns and the uninsured, and are providers of essential care in underserved neighborhoods. To use these life-saving hospitals and the care we provide sick children and the elderly as leverage in a political fight is unconscionable. Balancing the budget and trying to fix our state’s finances at the expense of health care for our most vulnerable citizens will not make Illinois more compassionate or competitive.

Gov. Bruce Rauner has proposed a $750 million cut to hospitals across the state, which will disproportionally affect safety-net hospitals. The severity of these cuts would force a reduction of services to many of our neediest residents, and likely close some facilities altogether. For the past several years, safety-net hospitals have worked in partnership with the state to transform health care services for the better. The governor’s proposed cuts would derail this

progress and put the health care of millions of Illinoisans at risk.

We did not elect our state lawmakers to slash services for working families, children and senior citizens.

We urge legislators to reject the governor’s proposals, and stand up for the families and communities they represent.

Mark Newton

Reject Rauner’s bullying

To the Editor: Gov. Bruce Rauner is correct when he says he was elected to help fix the state’s financial mess.

So, it is somewhat bizarre that, rather than address the state’s financial problems, he spends his time threatening to inflict harm on middle-class families, people who have done nothing to cause the state’s fiscal situation.

The governor refuses to discuss the state’s multibillion-dollar budget crisis until legislators adopt his unfair and unpopular “agenda,” a major

component of which calls for silencing the voice of teachers and other public education employees who advocate for high-quality teaching and learning conditions in our schools.

It is a proven bad plan; local governments statewide have debated and rejected it while, in the General Assembly, his agenda failed to receive a single “yes” vote.

Rauner promised to lead like a pragmatic CEO, but he acts like a dogmatic politician in denial about his agenda. In an effort to bend legislators to his will, he threatens to cut vital programs for our students, slash funding for higher education and gut critical services for working families and the elderly.

Using threats to force a radical agenda on middle-class families, with no regard for the consequences, is the opposite of leadership and is totally unacceptable.

We urge all legislators to stand with the working families of Illinois and reject the governor’s out-of-touch bullying campaign.

A glimpse into their souls

Six fiber and textile artists showcase their work at Gallery Seven in Joliet

By DENISE M. BARAN–UNLAND dunland@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Hanging on the wall at Gallery Seven in Joliet is a very large snail made from tree wrap.

Taking up a third of the 4,000-square-foot gallery space is a fiber art piece the artist assembled on-site, added Richard Ainsworth, president of Gallery Seven in Joliet.

“It’s very imaginative,” he said. “You’ve got to come see it.”

Both pieces are part of a show called “An Art of Her Own,” which features the work of six textile and fiber artists.

The curator, Darcy Berg of Plainfield, said about 130 pieces are displayed at the show, which plays on the essay “A Room of One’s Own,”

by Virginia Woolf and runs through June 13. A June 6 artist reception will take place at Gallery Seven.

“If you don’t go out, look around and investigate,” Berg said, “your world becomes a shallow box.”

Although fabric is part of many of the pieces on display, Berg stressed that the artists are not “fabric artists.”

“When you say ‘fabric,’

people think of going to the local craft shop and buying quilting fabric. This is not the case,” Berg said. “In this case, they dyed their own fabric and painted their own fabric.”

“This show – any art show – lets you observe your world in a different way,” Berg said.

PUZZLES SUDOKU

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

The high-card points point the way home

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Bertolt Brecht, a German playwright and poet who died in 1956, said, “If there are obstacles, the shortest line between two points may be a crooked line.”

If there are obstacles to better play at the bridge table, it is often thinking in crooked lines, not on a straight path.

Today’s deal is an example. How should South plan the play in four spades? West leads a heart. East wins with his king, cashes the heart ace, and shifts to a low club.

Note the bidding. North’s twoheart cue-bid showed at least 12 high-card points (or a super 11). Then his raise to three spades indicated a minimum.

But South knew his partnership had at least 26 combined points, so he went on to game. He was also aware that from the auction, he would be able to place the cards better than if the opponents had passed throughout.

When I run this deal in classes, it is disappointing how many declarers cannot resist the temptation of the spade finesse, because it looks like the standard play. But the better players take a few moments to count up the high-card points. Since dummy and declarer combined have 27, the defenders have only 13, yet East opened the bidding. He must have the spade king.

So South should play a spade to dummy’s ace, then lead a low spade.

When the king pops up, declarer can claim.

If you count only one thing at the bridge table, make it high-card points. You will find apparent guesses becoming certainties.

Before the biopsy, your doctor may advise you to briefly stop taking daily low-dose aspirin or blood-thinning medicines.

These drugs reduce the blood’s ability to clot.

Minor and temporary bleeding is common and expected after the biopsy.

However, if bleeding seems to be getting worse, or even if minor bleeding lasts more than 24 hours, tell your doctor. If you experience fever or chills, get to a hospital right away. These could be signs of infection.

Finally, seek care immediately if you stop being able to urinate after a biopsy. The biopsy produces some temporary swelling of the prostate, and this can temporarily make it harder to urinate.

This problem is easy to fix, but needs to be treated promptly.

• Skipping The Enema.

Doctors used to recommend an enema before a biopsy to reduce the chance of infection. The latest studies find this isn’t necessary. The body can fight infection, especially if you take antibiotics.

C O M E R I C A

• Preventive Antibiotics.

A prostate biopsy comes with certain risks, including infection. The biopsy needle can spread bacteria or an infection from the rectal wall to the prostate or bloodstream. Taking preventive antibiotics – before and after the procedure – greatly cuts the risk of infection.

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff

A U T O M A T I C W E A P O N

Dear Dr. K: My last PSA test result was abnormal, so my doctor has scheduled a prostate biopsy. What can I expect? Is there anything I can do to make the procedure more comfortable and reduce the risk of complications?

Dear Reader: An abnormal prostate-specific antigen (PSA) blood test result often leads to a prostate biopsy. A biopsy is the only way to confirm the presence of cancer.

The most common biopsy procedure is guided with transrectal ultrasound. While you lie on your side, the doctor inserts an ultrasound probe into your rectum.

Ultrasound is like a tiny little radar device. It bounces sound waves off your prostate, and the reflected sound waves form a picture. Before doctors had ultrasound to use, they often performed biopsies of the prostate at random places – and sometimes missed cancers that were there.

The ultrasound scans the prostate, looking for areas that may contain cancer. When such an area is spotted by the ultrasound, a spring-loaded device rapidly inserts a needle through the rectal wall into the suspicious area of the prostate to retrieve tiny tissue samples.

The procedure usually takes less than 15 minutes.

Later, the biopsy samples are examined under a microscope for signs of cancer.

Most men do not find prostate biopsy overly painful or uncomfortable.

Complications occur in only about two men out of every 100, and the complications usually are not serious. But they can be.

I spoke to my colleague, Dr. Marc B. Garnick. He’s a prostate cancer expert at Harvard-affiliated Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. The following are our suggestions for reducing discomfort and the risk of complications. Discuss them with your doctor:

Dear Abby: My sister-inlaw and her live-in boyfriend, “Bud,” get together with us for dinner and outings.

We enjoy each other’s company, but over the last couple of years he has been making disparaging remarks on the subject of politics.

We do not belong to the same political party, and his remarks make our blood boil.

Bud knows we belong to the other party, but continues his barrage peppered with profanity. It’s impossible to have an intelligent debate with him before the cursing starts spewing out.

A difference of opinion is tolerated, but when it’s laced with profanity it becomes hard to swallow.

My husband feels the same way.

I would tell Bud to head south as far as he can go, were it not for my sisterin-law’s feelings. (She’s pretty close to my husband.) I thought it better not to say anything during these dressing-downs, but I don’t know how much longer I can keep my mouth shut without blasting him.

How should I handle this? – Ready To Blow In Idaho Dear Ready to Blow: You

and your husband should pick up the phone and call your sister-in-law.

Tell her that as much as you love her and Bud, the political discussions have gotten out of hand, and therefore, there will be no more discussions about politics when you get together. Period.

If Bud starts in, your husband should not take the bait. You are both to say, “We’ll never agree on this, so let’s change the

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips subject.”

Dear Abby: After 12 years of marriage, my husband and I finally have our first child, a little girl.

Yes, I was very happy to have a child on the way, but I also was very depressed. My OB/GYN had to put me on anti-depression medication for it.

I felt only family should know and, while I was pregnant, my husband went along with it.

But now, if someone asks about my pregnancy or jokes about us having a second child, he will tell them he’s not sure because during my pregnancy I was depressed.

When I ask him please not to tell people about it, he says, “Why not?

You have nothing to be ashamed of.”

How can I get him to understand that for me, it’s not about shame but privacy? – New Mom In Louisiana Dear New Mom: While

I agree depression is nothing to be ashamed of, I also agree with you some things should be kept private – and your medical history is one of them.

Perhaps your husband would understand if you analogize it with a man using Viagra.

While he might use the little blue pill with abandon, many men would prefer folks to assume they didn’t need the pharmaceutical assistance.

FRIDAY HOROSCOPE TODAY – You can do it all, just not all at once. Planning and organization will enable you to maximize your efficiency and make the most of your time. Your creative ideas will receive a positive response, and a lucrative offer will come your way. A romantic relationship will blossom.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Don’t be put off by minor setbacks. You will be able to summon the strength you need to get through a trying day. Plan to have some fun with good friends later on.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – You will need patience as well as tolerance when dealing with troublesome friends and relatives.

Flying off the handle will lead to regret and only compound a difficult situation.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Physical activity will get your blood flowing and clear your mind. Enjoy nature or an activity that makes you feel happy and accomplished if you want to find it easier to deal with pressing matters.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Someone will not measure up to your standards. If others are reluctant to follow your lead, you may have to go it alone. The less demanding you are, the better.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Your nerves will be frazzled. If you are having trouble staying focused, take a break and relax. A good book or soothing music will help ease your stress.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – A chance to

increase your cash flow is imminent. Joint ventures and collaborations look promising. Listen to the recommendations that a friend with experience has to offer.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Don’t allow someone’s comments or criticism to prevent you from following through with your plans. Concentration and determination will enable you to achieve your goals.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – You need to take a break. Hard work and long hours will take their toll on your health. Reward

yourself with a getaway to a place where you can relax.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Lessen your debt load. Going over your credit limit will have a negative impact on your future.

Spend wisely and invest carefully if you want to ease your stress.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – An important decision should not be rushed. Do your due diligence and consider all angles before signing a contract or making a commitment. Protect your assets.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – A jealous individual will try to make you look bad or damage your reputation. You will receive help from an unexpected source, and a lasting friendship will develop.
