Elgin, Joliet & Eastern Railroad Depot – Joliet The Elgin, Joliet & Eastern railroad, the EJ&E, is nicknamed “The J” and at one time also was called the Outer Belt Line.

Nearly 130 years ago, a man named Philip B. Shumway had the idea to build a railroad that would run around Chicago rather than to it.

In 1886, Shumway, a Chicago promoter, took out a loan to start construction on a 22-mile rail line called the Joliet, Aurora & Northern (JA&N), which ran between those two cities. He wanted to extend his small railroad farther but needed more backing.

Shumway persuaded banker J.P. Morgan to invest and help him expand. By 1888, the Elgin, Joliet & Eastern Railway Co. of Illinois was chartered, acquired several other small lines and then expanded to just east of Elgin and to Indiana. Within a year, it had extended at both ends to Waukegan and into northern Indiana, although Shumway would not live to see it.

Besides hauling crude iron ore and steel products as well as limestone used for buildings, the railroad had an advantage over other lines in the area in that it could re-route products around the congestion of the big city.

In the early years, the EJ&E also ran passenger service between Joliet and Aurora, with a combination freight and passenger train that offered trips each way between the towns in the morning and evening, six days a week. The EJ&E essentially gave up passenger service to the electric railroads around 1910.

Plainfield expo offers information for people with disabilities

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – Donna Akers knows dogs can be more than just a playful friend for people, especially those with disabilities.

Akers was at the Plainfield Central High School Field House on Saturday showing a crowd of people how dogs can help people with special needs in their everyday life. Akers had a long-coat German shepherd her son uses to help with his balance.

She was one of about 70 exhibitors who came to the No One Can Stop Me Abilities Expo to show people with disabilities the resources available to them.

“I am a mother of a special needs child,” said Akers, VIP Service Dog Foundation president. “We all understand what people are going through.”

The fifth annual Plainfield expo was a place where families and their children could meet vendors who help with disability needs. Some vendors at the free event included Edward Hospital, MobilityWorks, the YMCA and the Will-Grundy Center for Independent Living.

“It’s representative of every facet of disabilities of every age range,” expo coordinator Marie Adams said. “Adults, children. Whatever you need, it’s probably here.”

The expo was put together when Plainfield Township saw a community need, she said.

The Plainfield Township Disabilities Committee hosted Saturday’s expo, which has grown in size over the years. Adams said she estimated between 600 and 700 guests attended Saturday.

Adams said she wants to see even more vendors participate in the future. She wants to focus on advertising to let more people know what to expect at the expos.

“It’s hard for those with disabilities in the community to

Derby day

By KRIS STADALSKY Shaw Media correspondent

JOLIET – Underneath Brooke Majchrowski’s Girl Scout vest, she sported a T-shirt of her favorite race car driver, Danica Patrick.

Majchrowski loves racing, so having a car in the first council-wide Girl Scout Powder Puff Derby Saturday was exciting for her.

Along with friend Madison Cyranek, both of Troop 947 in Bolingbrook, she was having a blast. Cyranek had already raced her red derby car with a gold stripe. She came in third.

The Powder Puff Derby, held at the Joliet Girl Scout Gathering Place in Joliet, was a first for the Girl Scouts of Greater Chicago and Northwest Indiana, Program Director Candice Schmidt said.

The event is not only fun, but the girls had a chance to

use their science, technology, engineering and math skills to develop the cars, she said.

The Powder Puff Derby is like the Boy Scouts’ long-established Pinewood Derby, but with a bit more flare.

Cars of all colors, shapes and themes were lined up in the “pits.”

Lauren Bowlds, Troop 42142 in Wheaton, designed her car to look like a hot dog.

She eventually won an award for the best paint job.

“Because I just like hot dogs,” she said.

Like many of the girls, preparing the car for race day was a father/daughter project. Dad Kenneth Bowlds helped shape the car, which comes as a block of wood. Together they oiled the wheels, hoping for extra speed, added weights and put on the unique paint job.

The car kits come with

Elly Cervera, Troop 50325 in Elmhurst, believed it was important to have a driver for her car, so she chose a squeaky rubber dog.

“She wouldn’t budge on that even though it slowed the car down,” said her father

Carlos Cervera.

Elly did everything on her car except cut out the shape, she said.

Whatever the two did to Elly’s car, it worked. She came in first place in her heat race.

Girl Scouts from all over Illinois and Indiana came, 191 Scouts and 400 people total, Schmidt said.

An awards ceremony was held at the end of the event, with first, second and third place winners in each of the four Scout levels. Awards also went to best paint job, spectators’ choice, judges choice and best STEM design for aerodynamics and physics of design.

The event went great for the first year, Schmidt said.

Every Scout showed up with a car, ready to go.

“It was a gorgeous day, it was a great time with families,” said Schmidt. “Overall it was a success.”

Pension issues highlighted in Taxpayers United report

By BOB OKON bokon@shawmedia.com The two top police officials in Elwood also get two of the highest pensions from the Joliet Police Department, according to a report last week from Taxpayers United of America.

“Hard-earned money,” Elwood Police Chief Fred Hayes said when asked about his $120,000-plus annual pension from his 31 years with Joliet, where he retired in 2011.

Both Hayes and Elwood Commander Pat Kerr retired from Joliet to take jobs as the No. 1 and 2 officers in the Elwood Police Department. Kerr’s pension also tops $120,000, according to Taxpayers United.

“I think in today’s economic climate, regardless of what field they’re in, many retirees from one company go to work for another company,” Hayes

said, noting that he knows educators in the public sector and engineers in the private sector who have done the same thing.

A look at the list of pensions compiled by Taxpayers United shows some other retirees working elsewhere.

Steve Engledow, chief of the New Lenox Township Fire Department, is a retired deputy chief from Joliet with an annual pension of $116,000, according to Taxpayers United.

The second-highest government pension in Will County is the $239,000 paid to John Harper, who retired as superintendent of Plainfield School District 202 in 2014 and became principal at Providence Catholic High School.

Jared Labell, director of operations for Chicago-based Taxpayers United, agreed that private sector employees also retire with a pension only to make more money working elsewhere.

“At the very least, that has to be determined from the business perspective that if we’re giving that percentage to our employees, we also have to stay afloat as a business.”

Jared Labell Director of operations for Chicago-based Taxpayers United But Labell said private businesses are harder pressed to put pension plans in line with revenues.

“At the very least, that has to be determined from the business perspective that if we’re giving that percentage to our employees, we also have to stay afloat as a business,”

Labell said.

Taxpayers United has been on a pension crusade for months, spotlighting government pension benefits for state employees and in counties across Illinois. The release of Will County numbers was its latest report aimed at drawing attention to the size of government pensions.

Labell said Taxpayers United does not want to change what retirees are getting. But it does want to see changes in what new employees get and even what current employees put into their pensions.

“We understand that people who decided to be police officers and teachers went in with expectations,” he said.

But Labell said he hears from young police officers and teachers worried retirement money won’t be there because of government pension problems.

Hayes, who also is presi-

dent of the Illinois Association of Chiefs of Police, said he, too, hears that concern from young police officers.

“They’re asking if these funds are sustainable and if they will be available in the future,” Hayes said. “It is important that we make some changes so the system is sustainable.”

One of the top pensioners at Joliet Junior College is Andy Mihelich, a former administrator who gets $138,000 a year. Mihelich is retired, but active. He is chairman of the Joliet Junior College Board of Trustees and just ran an unsuccessful bid to become mayor of Joliet.

Mihelich said he has been prepared for his pension to be capped.

“I thought there would be pension reform in Illinois,” he said. “I’ve been waiting, but no one in Springfield seems to want to do anything.”

AN EXTRAORDINARY LIFE

‘Everything he did was part of his relationship with God’

By DENISE M. BARAN–UNLAND dunland@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Former Joliet resident Kevin Hansen didn’t care for texting and didn’t watch much TV, said his sister, Mary Catherine Hansen of Joliet.

Kevin, 33, of Homewood, a theology teacher at the all-boys Mount Carmel High School in Chicago, had different priorities.

Occasional weekday Masses. Driving the school bus to – and chaperoning students at – various weekend events so other staff members could go home to their families. Serving as student service coordinator and football equipment manager. Taking students to Washington, D.C., for the annual March for Life.

“On weekends, he corrected homework,” said Kevin’s mother, Beth Hansen of Joliet.

And yet, Beth wasn’t surprised to see a box of foam footballs in Kevin’s classroom.

Kevin understood that boys,

unlike girls, weren’t content to sit quietly at their desks all day, Beth said, so Kevin would occasionally toss a football across the room when he asked a question.

“It brought excitement and piqued their interest,” Beth said, “even when learning about their faith.”

That was typical Kevin.

His father, Mike Hansen of Joliet, recalled how Kevin, even at age 10, was the peacemaker at neighborhood baseball games. As the scoreboard operator for Mount Carmel home basketball games, Kevin would speak up if a referee made a wrong call, even if it went against Mount Carmel, Mike added. Kevin even obeyed every street sign.

“His goal was to live by the Golden Rule,” Mike said.

“From day one, he was very serious about his faith.”

Dan Sharp, athletic director and head football coach at Joliet Catholic Academy, remembered Kevin from when he had played football at JCA

Kevin Hansen in the late 1990s. Sharp praised Kevin’s humility, ability to befriend teammates and his focus on doing his best. Sharp understands why Kevin made a fine teacher.

“He was a role model to young people,” Sharp said.

Kevin could have chosen another path, Mike said. He was both valedictorian and Man of the Year with JCA’s Class of 1999. He graduated summa cum laude from the

University of Notre Dame in 2003 with a degree in pre-professional science studies, although he didn’t readily share that information.

“He was the smartest guy in the room,” said Eric Hansen, Kevin’s brother, “but he didn’t act like it.”

It wasn’t a second career Kevin internally debated, but whether or not he had a calling to the priesthood. That thought remained on Kevin’s mind six months ago, Mike said.

After Notre Dame, Kevin taught biology and chemistry for two years at St. Peter Marion Catholic High School in Massachusetts and earned his master’s degree in education from Providence College in Rhode Island in 2005.

But then Kevin entered Conception Seminary College in Missouri and received a second master’s degree, this time in theology, in 2007. That same year, Kevin began teaching at Mount Carmel, and it appeared he had found his niche.

He loved his students and his

students loved him, Beth said.

“There was a spirituality about him,” Beth said. “Even if someone was doing something morally wrong, he would try to guide them in a kind way.”

For Kevin, what he did was more than a job. It was his vocation, his ministry, said the Rev. Tony Mazurkiewicz, Mount Carmel president. Kevin showed this through all the little extra duties he quietly assumed.

“Everything he did was part of his relationship with God,” Mazurkiewicz said.

Kevin died April 11 after a weeklong battle with acute myelocytic leukemia. Principal John Stimler said losing Kevin was difficult for everyone. People are still trying to comprehend what happened.

“He did so much,” Stimler said.

VIEWS Vikaas Shanker tracking storms shouldn’t be taken for granted.

Many of those volunteers are residents who want to help with warning towns of potentially dangerous weather.

One way to do that is to become a weather spotter.

Anyone with an interest in weather, emergency response, storms or cloud gazing should head to the free basic severe weather spotter training class at 7 p.m. Tuesday at Lincoln-Way West High School, 21701 S. Gougar Road in New Lenox.

The two-hour class is free and teaches storm structure, safety and other critical knowledge. It’s for curious residents and experienced spotters alike. Interested people should RSVP by calling 815-723-1455.

Weather spotters are similar to scouts for an army. They survey the conditions around them at an assigned post and report back to a command base so emergency management officials can decide what actions to take.

That doesn’t mean they are storm chasers, who often have veteran spotting and meteorological experience and the proper equipment to get close to tornadoes.

I spent much of the evening April 9 with two Plainfield weather spotters, Chris Hinch-

liffe and Stacey Stofko.

They both have roots in Plainfield and deep concerns about an event like the 1990 tornado happening again.

That’s why they were out at the western edge of the village, looking at clouds for any sign of a tornado-producing storm cell.

While heading out to our assigned location on Walker Road, west of Ridge Road, we kept our ears on a radio that included reports on what was happening in Plainfield and across the state.

As we pulled up to our viewing spot, a dark storm cell loomed west-southwest of us.

But as the cell passed west, heading toward Aurora and Naperville, the two spotters noticed it didn’t have a wall cloud that usually comes with tornado cells.

That cell eventually dissipated and caused little more than heavy rain.

The whole experience was educational. We got to know each other, and I grew to have a tremendous amount of respect for what they do and the value of their training.

I strongly urge you to RSVP for the training event tomorrow. And next time you see someone who works for emergency management, thank them for their service helping ensure you, your family and your town is safe.

On Sunday, Nov. 17, 2013, I was planning to sleep in, but was woken up by a phone call from my editor at the Peoria Journal-Star.

I was a news intern at the time and scheduled to work a night cops shift. But there were reports of a tornado, and he asked if I could work early.

After heading to the newsroom, I drove east about 10 miles to Washington, down Washington Road to an apartment that suffered damage.

Then I noticed something else.

An entire neighborhood on the north side of the road wasn’t there anymore.

That neighborhood was a small part of the $800 million in damage to the town by an EF4 tornado that morning, according to the National Climatic Data Center.

Three people died, but it could have been worse had it not been for the advanced warning people received. They had more than 10 minutes advance notice to take cover.

Tornadoes are wicked, unpredictable and life-altering events that kill about 60 people each year.

No one knows how many lives advanced warning systems have saved over the past 25 years, since a more powerful tornado hit Plainfield, Crest Hill and Joliet, killing 29 people.

Property damage is inevitable in a storm of that magnitude. But loss of life can be prevented. And the work of volunteers who spend time with emergency officials

CHANNAHON – The DuPage River rushing over the dam at Channahon’s state park was a perfect setting last week for staging a mock swift water rescue.

Channahon Fire Protection District’s swift water rescue team held a training course at the park all day Thursday, culminating with the water rescue scenario Friday morning.

Firefighters from as far away as Wisconsin and as close as Minooka participated in the course that certified more than a dozen swift water technicians.

The scenario, said Channahon rescue team captain Kurt Lieberman, was that two boats came too close to the dam. The boaters panicked and went into the DuPage River. Eight victims – four manikins and four people – were either in the water or stranded on a small island, on both sides of the dam.

Lieberman, a member of the water rescue team for eight years, said the rescuers

used small boats and a boogie board or swam out to the victims. The first step was to calm the victim down so rescuers could assess the situation and the person.

With rescue team members on either side of the dam, they called out information and instructions to one another. They used ropes to bring people in and the boogie board as a flotation device for others.

“It went really smooth,” Lieberman said. “The guys used the knowledge from the last two days of class and put it to good use. They used proper techniques, good strategies and good teamwork.”

With all the waterways in the area – from the DuPage, Des Plaines and Kankakee rivers, to small lakes and retention ponds – having a real-life scenario such as this is possible, Lieberman said.

Last year Channahon Fire Protection District responded to 13 calls for water rescues as part of the multi-area Mutual Aid Box Alarm System. One resulted in a drowning.

As part of MABAS, Channahon responds not only to

Hopes dim for school funding formula overhaul’s passage

By KERRY LESTER The Associated Press SPRINGFIELD – Despite a revamp to ease partisan and regional opposition, Illinois lawmakers now see little chance of passing legislation this session that would overhaul the state’s outdated school funding formula for the first time in two decades.

The intent of the original bill was to increase state support for poor downstate schools, but sponsors revised it to reduce corresponding losses for wealthier school districts in Chicago and its suburbs. The revision would mean roughly $60 million less for downstate schools than in the original bill, with Chicago and its collar counties losing substantially less than first proposed, according to an Illinois State Board of Education analysis.

But the change has not significantly softened opposition to the bill, which lies chiefly among Republican lawmakers in the Chicago area. What’s more, legislators from both parties say the timing causes a problem because their priority this spring is dealing with a roughly $6 billion hole in the state’s general finances in the coming year.

“My sense is we don’t see an education bill [come for a vote] this session,” said House Republican Leader Jim Durkin, who represents western Chicago suburbs.

“How it fits in with this budget ... I don’t think it’s something anybody’s going to be contemplating soon.”

Democratic House Speaker Michael Madigan has established a special committee to consider the issue. But a top member of his leadership team, House Majority Leader Barbara Flynn Currie, agreed that prospects for it were dimming.

“I think there’s no question we’re not going to have significant new resources going into public education this year,” said Flynn Currie, a Chicago Democrat who

said she spoke with one suburban district that warned it couldn’t handle a loss of funds. “Without additional resources, this whole exercise is one in which you create paupers of [certain] school districts.”

Few disagree the state’s funding formula needs an update. A study released last month by The Education Trust, a nonpartisan advocacy group, found Illinois has the most unfair school funding system in the nation, with poor students receiving nearly 20 percent fewer state dollars than their wealthier peers.

Since the state’s funding distribution formula was last overhauled in 1997, the imbalance between poor and better off schools has increased as spending on specialized programs outpaced increases in general state aid to districts.

Reform proponents say the poorest districts don’t have the property tax base to supplement funding like Chicago area schools do.

Under the original overhaul proposal by Sen. Andy Manar, a Bunker Hill Democrat, downstate schools would have gained $214 million in state funding, while Chicago’s collar counties would have lost $84 million. Chicago Public Schools would have lost roughly $38 million.

Under the revision, according to the ISBE analysis, downstate schools would gain $154 million — roughly $60 million less than initially projected for the original bill.

The Chicago and suburban school districts would face far smaller losses than under the original. In the Chicago area, some suburban districts would gain funding, while other wealthier districts would lose.

The new legislation also counts on an addition of $86 million to help boost so-called anomaly districts — ones that have high property tax rates but are still spending less than average on their pupils through a combination of state and local dollars.

CHICAGO – A 24-year-old Chicago woman has been charged with aggravated cruelty to animals after authorities say she starved two puppy pit bulls to death then hid them in the garbage.

The Chicago Sun-Times reported Shantell Burnett is suspected of running a dog-fighting ring in her home.

Police say they noticed a foul smell after they were called to a home at 11758 S. Morgan St. on Friday. They say they found two dead pit bulls covered in urine and feces. Animal control took another puppy and three grown pit bulls that were alive but extremely skinny. One dog had bite marks on his face.

CHICAGO – Federal investigators looking into Chicago Public Schools’ dealings with a leadership training academy are also examining records involving an elite nonprofit group led by a powerful board comprised of movers and shakers.

Authorities have sought documents related to the Chicago Public Education Fund, according to a report in the Chicago Tribune.

The report is the first indication of how far the inquiry could extend beyond Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s office.

The nonprofit fund gave seed money for the SUPES Academy, which later obtained a $20.5 million no-bid contract from the Chicago school district. On Friday, Chicago Schools CEO Barbara Byrd-Bennett, who once worked as a consultant at SUPES, took a leave of absence from the district, saying she didn’t want to become a distraction.

There have been no formal allegations or charges against Byrd-Bennett or anyone else.

Federal authorities have been quiet about the nature of the investigation.

The Chicago Public Education Fund’s former chairs include Gov. Bruce Rauner and U.S. Commerce Secretary Penny Pritzker.

People move into the Field of Empty Chairs, where bombing victims are memorialized, following a ceremony Sunday marking the 20th anniversary of the Oklahoma City bombing at the Oklahoma City National Memorial.

Empty chairs honor 168 victims of 1995 Oklahoma City bombing

By TIM TALLEY The Associated Press OKLAHOMA CITY – Every day when Dr. Rosslyn Biggs goes to work as a federal government veterinarian, she is reminded of her mother, one of 168 people killed in the Oklahoma City bombing and honored Sunday on the 20th anniversary of the deadliest terrorist attack on U.S. soil until Sept. 11, 2001.

Biggs has the same job once held by her mother, Dr. Margaret L. “Peggy” Clark, as a food safety veterinarian at the U.S. Department of Agriculture. She interacts often with some of the people who worked with and recall her mother’s professionalism.

“I remember her spirit and her dedication,” Biggs said as she and other family members gathered around an empty chair adorned with flowers in a field of empty chairs designed to memorialize the victims of the April 19, 1995, bombing.

“It’s wonderful to see that people still remember and still care,” Biggs said.

Former President Bill

Clinton, who was president when the attack occurred, spoke at Sunday’s service at the Oklahoma City National Memorial & Museum, where the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building once stood. Memorial officials estimated that 2,500 people attended the observance.

“Oklahoma City, you have chosen well,” Clinton said.

“For 20 years, you have honored the memories of your loved ones. You have inspired us with the power of renewal.”

Clinton said the city has recovered from the terrorist attack “in the face of mad, crazy people who think that differences are all that matter.”

“The whole world needs you now,” he said in reference to other deadly terrorist attacks around the world.

The service started with a 168-second moment of silence to honor each of those who died. It concluded about 90 minutes later with survivors and tearful relatives of the dead reading the names of those killed.

“This was a place of un-

speakable horror and tragedy,” said Frank Keating, who completed his first 100 days as Oklahoma’s governor the day before the attack. “How some evil individual would do what he did ... is unforgivable and absolutely unimaginable.”

“The agony was consistent. The agony appeared never to end,” Keating said.

After the service, LaDonna Battle and her family were standing between two of the 168 metal and glass chairs that now stand as a testament to those who were killed. The two chairs were inscribed with the names of her parents, Calvin and Peola Battle, who were arranging to receive Social Security benefits when the bomb detonated.

Timothy McVeigh, an Army veteran with strong anti-government views, carried out the bombing as revenge for the deadly standoff between the FBI and Branch Davidians in Waco, Texas, on April 19, 1993 – exactly two years before Oklahoma City.

McVeigh was convicted on federal murder and conspiracy charges in 1997 and executed in 2001.

The Deepwater Horizon oil rig burns April 21, 2010, in the Gulf of Mexico. When word came that the rig was listing badly after an explosion the night before, New Orleans-based Gerald Herbert raced to a small airport and grabbed the first helicopter pilot he could find. Together with a photographer from the Times-Picayune newspaper, the three headed out in a four-seat helicopter with only enough fuel to get to the site and shoot for a few minutes. Hovering at 4,000 feet the three were struck by the scale of the unfolding disaster.

5 years after BP spill, drillers push into riskier depths

By CAIN BURDEAU The Associated Press ON THE GULF OF MEXICO – Five years after the nation’s worst offshore oil spill, the industry is working on drilling even further into the risky depths beneath the Gulf of Mexico to tap massive deposits once thought unreachable. Opening this new frontier, miles below the bottom of the Gulf, requires engineering feats far beyond those used at BP’s much shallower Macondo well.

But critics say energy companies haven’t developed the corresponding safety measures to prevent another disaster or contain one if it happens – a sign, environmentalists say, that the lessons of BP’s spill were short-lived.

These new depths and larger reservoirs could exacerbate a blowout like what happened at the Macondo well. Hundreds of thousands of barrels of oil could spill each day, and the response would be slowed as the equipment to deal with it — skimmers, boom, submarines, containment stacks – is

shipped 100 miles or more from shore.

Since the Macondo disaster, which sent at least 134 million gallons spewing into the Gulf five years ago Monday, federal agencies have approved about two dozen next-generation, ultra-deep wells.

The number of deepwater drilling rigs has increased, too, from 35 at the time of the Macondo blowout to 48 last month, according to data from IHS Energy, a Houston company that collects industry statistics.

Department of Interior officials overseeing offshore drilling did not provide data on these wells and accompanying exploration and drilling plans, information that The Associated Press requested last month.

But a review of offshore well data by the AP shows the average ocean depth of all wells started since 2010 has increased to 1,757 feet, 40 percent deeper than the average well drilled in the five years before that.

And that’s just the depth of the water.

Drillers are exploring a “golden zone” of oil and natural gas that lies roughly 20,000 feet

beneath the sea floor, through a 10,000-foot thick layer of prehistoric salt – far deeper than BP’s Macondo well, which was considered so tricky at the time that a rig worker killed in the blowout once described it to his wife as “the well from hell.”

Geophysicists estimate oil companies can unleash Saudi Arabian-like gushers at these unprecedented depths from fields capable of yielding up to 300,000 barrels of oil a day.

Temperatures and pressures – the conditions that make drilling so risky – get more intense the deeper you go. And the ancient salt layer brings extra wild cards.

Technology now allows engineers to see the huge reservoirs beneath the previously opaque salt, but the layer is still harder to see through than rock. And it’s prone to hiding pockets of oil and gas that raise the potential for a blowout.

“It’s not rocket science,” said Matthew Franchek, director of the University of Houston’s subsea engineering graduate program. “Oh, no, it’s much, much more complicated.”

ROME – A smuggler’s boat crammed with hundreds of people overturned off Libya’s coast as rescuers approached, causing what could be the Mediterranean’s deadliest known migrant tragedy and intensifying pressure on the European Union onSunday to finally meet demands for decisive action.

Survivor accounts of the number aboard varied, with the Italian Coast Guard saying that the capsized boat had a capacity for “hundreds” of people. Italian prosecutors said a Bangladeshi survivor flown to Sicily for treatment told them 950 people were aboard, including hundreds who had been locked in the hold by smugglers. Earlier, authorities said a survivor told them 700 migrants were on board.

It was not immediately clear if they were referring to the same survivor, and Premier Matteo Renzi said Italian authorities were “not in a position to confirm or verify” how many were on board when the boat set out from Libya.

Eighteen ships joined the rescue effort, but only 28 survivors and 24 bodies had been pulled from the water by nightfall, Renzi said.

These small numbers make more sense if hundreds of people were locked in the hold, because with so much weight down below, “surely the boat would have sunk,” said Gen. Antonino Iraso, of the Italian Border Police, which has deployed boats in the operation.

Prosecutor Giovanni Salvi told The Associated Press by phone from the city of Catania that a survivor from Bangladesh described the situation on the fishing boat to prosecutors who interviewed him in a hospital. The man said about 300 people were in the hold, locked in there by the smugglers, when the vessel set out. He said that of the 950 who set out aboard the doomed boat, some 200 were women and several dozen were children.

Salvi stressed that there was no confirmation yet of the man’s account and that the investigation was ongoing. Iraso said the sea in the area is too deep for divers, suggesting that the final toll may never be known.

“How can it be that we daily are witnessing a tragedy?” asked Renzi, who strategized with his top ministers ahead of Monday’s European Union meeting in Luxembourg, where foreign ministers scrambled to add stopping the smugglers to their agenda.

Minooka hopes invitational helps drive its own runners to improve / 20

Racers compete in a 3,200-meter run during Minooka’s invitational track meet Saturday. Minooka’s coach believes hosting a strong invitational helps push his team to improve.

BOYS TRACK AND FIELD

Minooka, Plainfield S. excited about seasons

By CURT HERRON cherron@shawmedia.com A year ago at the IHSA finals in Charleston, Minooka’s boys track and field team scored 23 points to finish the meet in 10th place.

To claim a state trophy with a top-three showing, the Indians would have needed 36 points; a few points above and below that number generally has been the range for thirdplace teams in Class 3A during the three-class era.

The only problem now is that coach Nick Lundin’s squad graduated most of those points.

Chris Wilson was runner-up in the 400-meter, Shabari Bailey placed seventh in the 110 hurdles, and all of the 4x400 relay and some of the 4x100 and 4x200 relays were seniors a year ago.

But as all good programs seem to do, the Indians are becoming adept at replacing each year’s top seniors with promising newcomers and having them develop.

The Indians have scored 15 points or more and finished at least 16th or better in the past four state meets, and this year they’d like to raise the bar considerably.

Based on second-place efforts at Belleville West and then at its own invitational Saturday, Minooka seems to be poised to for another successful campaign.

“We have great feeder schools,” Lundin said. “I can’t say enough about Minooka Junior High, Channahon, and we also get some Troy kids, too.

Those kids are coming in and hearing about our program and contributing right off the bat. We needed someone to step in for a senior in the 4x4 today, so we stuck a freshman (James Sanchez) in there, and he ran a PR by a second, and we won the whole thing.”

Last year, the Indians easily won the championship at the Joliet West Sectional, and returning qualifiers Peter Andreano (high jump, long jump), Ryan Pullara (pole vault), Mitch Miller (4x100, 4x200 relays), Christopher Hopkins (4x100 relay), Victor Turpin (4x200 relay) and Matt Dlugopolski (4x200 relay) all return.

Plainfield South’s Brad Ehringer competes in the 400-meter dash during the Minooka Invitational meet Saturday.

Minooka’s Christopher Hopkins (left) runs in the 100-meter relay during Saturday’s invitational, while Minooka’s Ryan Pullara competes in the pole vault. runner Soren Knudsen also performed well in their own meet.

“I like the guys’ willingness to try new things,” Lundin said. “They come here prepared every day and are willing to be in any event that they want, and it’s made us really good. I can’t say enough about these athletes. It’s great to have those veterans who have seen our program have success, and they are great mentors for these young kids.”

Lundin knew that one way for his program to get better was to host a competitive meet, and just two years into the pro-

cess, it already seems to have achieved that goal.

“When we started this meet, the goal was to get good competition, and we succeeded in doing that,” Lundin said. “We can’t get better unless we have people to push us. When I was looking at teams, Huntley was a team that I knew was good, and I wanted them here. To get programs like them, McHenry and Normal West to come says something about how far we’ve come as a program, but also that they trust us to run a good meet.”

Another team that Lundin was pleased to see join his in-

vite’s field this season is Jason Crowe’s Plainfield South program. The Cougars had several state medalists in 2010 and 2011 and are hoping to get back to that point in the near future.

South received winning efforts from its 4x800 and 4x200 relays Saturday and also got runner-up finishes from distance runner John Partee and pole vaulter Nick Markese.

Kenny Peters and Partee were part of last year’s 4x800 state relay squad, while Brad Ehringer and Austin Deal were on the 4x200 relay that also qualified.

“Our 4x200 relay looked strong, and our 4x800 broke the meet record,” Crowe said.

“Also, Nick went over the state qualifying height in pole vault and has been consistent. It’s a great group of kids, and they have a great attitude. I’m lucky to be their coach, and I’m proud of them at all times with the way that they conduct themselves and show class.

“They’re competitors, too, and we’ve proven that we’re one of the best teams in the area after being able to compete against awesome teams like Minooka. We have two returnees from our 4x200 and 4x800 state teams, and they’re leading the charge. Conference is back here in about four weeks, and we hope to be able to battle with Minooka at that meet.”

Jessica Kuehn: ‘She was so surprised, and she just had the time of her life.’

By ROB OESTERLE roesterle@shawmedia.com

Reagan Kuehn shows off a new dress. Last weekend, the Seneca softball team held a charity tournament to benefit Kuehn, who has leukemia.

“The girls exceeded any expectation possible, not only dedicating the tournament to Reagan, but also performing numerous acts of outreach in the community, throwing out a ceremonial first pitch, running the bases with Reagan, and also presenting Reagan with her own game ball, Irish Princess gift bag, and spending an entire day playing softball, playing with Reagan, and Swinging for a Cure.”

The day was magical for the young lady, as she was running around the

the second game of the day Somonauk edged Putnam County 5-4.

“Reagan said her favorite part was playing with all the girls,” Jessica Kuehn said. “All the girls were excellent with her. Not just the Seneca team, but all of the teams. She just had a ball, and she slept very well that night.”

Next up, Seneca took on Putnam County. Following a trend, the Irish scored early to take the lead. Irish slugger Jenni Nugent roped an RBI double to knock in Robinson. In the third inning, Nugent added another RBI double, this one scoring two. The Irish scored four in the inning to take a 5-2 lead, which they held through the conclusion of the six-inning time limit game. Sangston went the distance for the Irish, striking out four and scattering six hits. Nugent was the big hitter with the pair of run-scoring doubles.

After the game ended, Reagan stepped to the plate to Swing for the Cause. She ran the bases, assisted by Irish speedster Karlie Cade.

“As a team, we were lucky to spend some unforgettable memories with a very special little girl,” Cade said. “Being able to raise money for Reagan and her family was amazing. Reagan is just like any other little girl, she had the whole team playing duck-duckgoose and chasing her around between games. She is just like any other happy little girl, but she is fighting a much bigger battle. Helping Reagan in her fight was an amazing experience that my teammates and I will never forget.”

SENECA – Reagan Kuehn of Streator thought she was going to see a softball game or two Saturday. Kuehn and her mother, Jessica, traveled to Seneca to take in a round-robin tournament involving Seneca, Mendota, Somonauk and Putnam County that was being held to raise funds for St. Jude’s Children’s Cancer Research.

What Reagan didn’t know was that she was to be the guest of honor at the annual “Swing for the Cure” event.

Five-year-old Reagan had been diagnosed with leukemia Oct. 31, 2012, and has been receiving treatment at St. Jude’s.

“I didn’t tell her she was going to be the focus of the day,” Jessica Kuehn said. “I let her know when we got there.

She was so surprised, and she just had the time of her life. She still talks about it all the time.”

Reagan’s mother’s family and friends have bonded together to “Fight for Reagan” in events throughout LaSalle County, in Streator, Long Point, and in other events.

“In discussing our annual tournament this spring in our preseason, I presented the opportunity to our softball team to not only give back to St. Jude’s and the Seneca community, but also for one special family, an event bigger than softball and more powerful than a simple Saturday tournament,” Seneca coach Dan Stecken said.

Seneca softball complex, throwing out the first pitch to a standing ovation, running the bases with Seneca softball players in between games, throwing a tiny rubber ducky in Seneca’s traditional Irish Chuck a Duck contest, to devouring goodies at the bake sale.

“As a coach, it was a pretty special moment to watch your team do something so powerful for one little girl and her family,” Stecken said. “They made this day so special for someone else, for something bigger than the game. It gave the girls on the team a bit of perspective on things that at that age kids don’t always have.”

The tournament then began with Seneca hosting Mendota in the first game. The game began with Seneca smashing the ball, erupting for a fiverun first inning, the big blow being a two-out, two-run double by Michaela Coughlin. The Irish added four more in the fourth inning, two scoring on a home run off the bat of Lexi Trompeter.

Rachel Sangston added an RBI double and left the mound after two scoreless innings. Becca Towne pitched the next two, with Taylor Bushman throwing the final three innings in scoreless relief, striking out three and earning the win as Seneca won 9-2.

After the first game, Reagan threw out the ceremonial first pitch, with the help of Towne, to Irish catcher Lyda Robinson. Crowds from Mendota, Putnam County, Somonauk, and Seneca cheered Reagan on all day, as well as making great donations to the cause. In

NHL WESTERN CONFERENCE PLAYOFFS: BLACKHAWKS 4, PREDATORS 2

Blackhawks beat Predators for 2-1 series lead

By JAY COHEN The Associated Press CHICAGO – Marian Hossa was everywhere Sunday, Jonathan Toews powered the Blackhawks to a big second period, and Brandon Saad had a key play for the Hawks.

The Hawks’ skilled top line found plenty of room to roam with Nashville’s Shea Weber out with an injury.

Toews had a goal and an assist, Hossa had two assists in a dazzling performance, and the Hawks beat the Nashville Predators, 4-2, for a 2-1 lead in the first-round playoff series.

Toews, Saad and Brent Seabrook scored in the second to help the Hawks earn their 20th win in its last 24 home playoff games. Scott Darling made 35 saves, and Andrew Desjardins got his third career playoff goal in the first as the Hawks bounced back after Friday night’s 6-2 loss in Nashville.

“We’ve been here a while and went pretty deep the past two years,” Saad said. “We know what we need to do. At

the same time, after Game 2, we know we needed to be better. I think everyone brought it tonight.”

Mike Ribeiro and Mattias Ekholm scored for Nashville, and Pekka Rinne had 26 saves.

The Predators were without Weber and forward Mike Fisher, who were sidelined by lower-body injuries. Fisher is day to day, but Weber did not travel with the team to Chicago, and the star defenseman likely will be out for Game 4 on Tuesday night, as well.

“Obviously, Shea’s a big presence, and we’re going to miss him on our back end,” said Roman Josi, who usually plays with Weber on Nashville’s top defensive pairing.

“But I thought we played a pretty good game, and it could have gone the other way, too.”

Darling, a native of Lemont, was solid in his first postseason start after Corey Crawford was ineffective in the first two games of the series. The rookie also replaced Crawford in Game 1 and made 42 stops

Predators left wing Taylor Beck battles for the puck against Blackhawks defenseman Johnny Oduya during the first period of Sunday’s Game 3 Western Conference playoff series at the United Center. as the Hawks rallied for a 4-3 victory in double overtime.

“The guys have been unbelievable and really helped me out today,” Darling said.

Coach Joel Quenneville did not announce his goaltender

for Game 4 but talked as if Darling would get another start.

“We’ll talk about it, but certainly he did everything he could to put himself back in the net,” Quenneville said.

“I thought he was rock solid

today.”

The Predators’ convincing victory in Game 2 led Quenneville to try a different look for the Hawks’ first home game of the playoffs. Darling was in goal, and forwards Antoine Vermette and Desjardins entered the lineup after they were healthy scratches for the first two games.

The Hawks acquired Vermette and Desjardins in a pair of trades right before the deadline, but the veterans had struggled with the Hawks.

Given another chance in the playoffs, Desjardins responded with his best game since the March 2 trade with San Jose.

Desjardins’ first playoff goal in three years gave the Hawks a 1-0 lead at 14:48 of the first. He also keyed a long stretch in the Nashville zone in the second that Seabrook finished with a hard wrist shot from the high slot, making it 4-2 with 7:19 left in the period.

“I was kind of waiting, ready,” Desjardins said. “Been working hard. I was just working hard, and fortunate to get in the game tonight.”

PADRES 5, CUBS 2

TIGERS 9, WHITE SOX 1

Quintana allows 2 HRs to Lester makes nifty play but Cespedes as Tigers top Sox loses again as Padres top Cubs

By NOAH TRISTER The Associated Press DETROIT – Whatever Jose Quintana is trying against Yoenis Cespedes, it isn’t working.

Cespedes hit a grand slam and a two-run homer off Quintana, and Shane Greene pitched seven more impressive innings Sunday to help the Detroit Tigers rout the White Sox, 9-1. Cespedes is 6 for 8 with four home runs against Quintana for his career.

“It’s a bad day, I forget that and keep working hard every time,” Quintana said. “I have confidence in me every time we go out there. The next start, make the adjustment and do better.”

It was the first major league grand slam for Cespedes.

“Any ballplayer that hits two home runs is feeling good,” Cespedes said

through a translator. “I couldn’t be luckier to be on such a great team with such a good group of ballplayers.”

Greene (3-0) allowed his first earned run of the season Sunday when an RBI triple by Jose Abreu skipped past J.D. Martinez in right field in the sixth. Greene gave up five hits and four walks, but the Sox hit into four double plays.

Greene, acquired in the offseason from the New York Yankees, struck out three.

Cespedes came up with two out and the bases loaded in the first. As a windwhipped rain began to fall, the Detroit slugger sent a drive over the fence in left on a full count to make it 4-0.

“I keep the ball down with him, he’s a power hitter,” Quintana said. “But 3-2 I tried to throw the ball away, but the ball went to the middle, and it’s a mistake.”

The ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHICAGO – Jon Lester believes he is getting close to pitching like the ace the Cubs signed in the offseason.

Lester made a nifty play with his glove Sunday, but he lost again and the San Diego Padres beat the Cubs, 5-2.

Lester (0-2), who signed a $155 million, six-year contract as a free agent, has a 6.89 ERA after three starts.

“I don’t like to evaluate things that way as far as being almost there or not almost there, but it was better,” Lester said.

“For the most part, I did a pretty good job of keeping the ball on the ground. And that’s important; it means I’m getting action on the pitches I need, getting some mishits, which was good today.”

Lester gave up three runs and six hits in 51⁄3 innings. He alertly tossed

his glove – with the ball stuck in the webbing – to first baseman Anthony Rizzo for an out after fielding Clint Barmes’ comebacker in the second.

Lester has pitched six innings or fewer in three straight starts for the first time since he did it in four consecutive starts June 6-21, 2013, but he believes he is getting closer to pitching like the ace the Cubs signed.

“Obviously, the results are not there,” Lester said “We all go out there to try to win the game, and that’s the results we want. That’s not there, but when you sit back and evaluate, it was better – not there, but better.”

Will Middlebrooks and Yangervis Solarte hit two-run homers to help Andrew Cashner (1-2).

Kris Bryant, who made his major league debut on Friday, doubled and was hit by a pitch in going 1 for 3. He is 3 for 10 with one RBI in three games for the Cubs.

By JENNA FRYER The Associated Press BRISTOL, Tenn. – After four rain delays and 11 extra laps, Matt Kenseth finally drove to victory lane.

It took him nine hours to get there Sunday at a water-logged Bristol Motor Speedway.

Kenseth snapped a 51-race losing streak by holding off Jeff Gordon and Jimmie Johnson on one final restart in NASCAR’s determined effort to stage a complete race.

The start was delayed nearly 90 minutes because of rain, and the race was stopped three more times, including one delay that lasted almost four hours.

The final stoppage came when the race already had surpassed the scheduled 500 laps, but a quick rain shower had stalled NASCAR’s attempt to race to the checkered flag following an accident with eight laps remaining. So, NASCAR parked the cars on pit road and sent out its dryers to quickly try to give it one more shot.

It was a two-lap overtime sprint to the finish and Kenseth, the pole-sitter, got a terrific jump on the restart. He wasn’t challenged in part because Gordon had a poor restart.

Johnson slid past Gordon to take second place, and Gordon finished third.

The race had a series of hiccups unrelated to the rain stoppages: Austin Dillon ran out of gas while running third because of the lengthy final caution, Denny Hamlin didn’t get back in his car after the first rain break because of a kink in his neck; and the two Team Penske drivers wrecked each other just 20 laps after the start.

Carl Edwards and Kurt Busch were in contention until they wrecked after a restart eight

laps from the scheduled finish. And Busch put together his strong run with an interim crew chief because Tony Gibson couldn’t leave his motorhome due to pain from a kidney stone.

Kyle Larson, while leading, had a miscue with a pair of cars a lap down, and the chaos it created sent Landon Cassill hard into the wall.

Pro basketball Playoffs, first round, Game 2, Milwaukee at Bulls, 7 p.m., TNT. Derrick Rose will be in a Game 2 for the first time since the 2011 Eastern Conference finals, and the former MVP looked great in his 23-point, seven-assist playoff opener Saturday.

But that was hardly the only reason why the Bulls have the series lead. Chicago converted 19 turnovers into 25 points, outscored Milwaukee 36-12 from 3-point range and controlled the rebounding battle.

And Rose and Jimmy Butler, for just the third time all season (in part because they just haven’t shared the court together much), both had at least 23 in the same game. Butler led the Bulls with 25 in the opener.

PUZZLES SUDOKU

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

Counting the shape can be tough

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Edward R. Murrow, who died in 1965, said, “The speed of communications is wondrous to behold. It is also true that speed can multiply the distribution of information that we know to be untrue.”

What would he think about communications today?

At the bridge table, most nonexperts do not work out the distributions of the unseen hands; and, to be honest, often it does not matter. Checking winners, losers and high-card points is more fruitful. But occasionally a deal comes along in which hand distribution is important.

To test yourself, cover the South and West hands. South is in four hearts. West leads the club ace, under which East signals with the eight, starting a high-low (echo) with a doubleton. West cashes his club king and gives East a club ruff. What should East lead at trick four?

In the bidding, South rebid three hearts to show at least 5-5 in the majors. North understandably went with the 5-3 heart fit. (Three no-trump fails if the defenders attack diamonds early.)

West was tempted to lead a trump because he had such good spades, but that might not have worked well here. If South wins the trick, cashes the spade ace, ruffs a spade in the dummy, and draws trumps, West is squeezed in three suits.

Now back to East’s problem. He has seen declarer produce three clubs. So South’s initial hand distribution must have been 5-5-0-3. East must resist the temptation to try to cash the diamond ace, which is fatal.

Instead, he must exit with a trump.

Then the contract cannot be made.

Even when medication is at the root of sexual problems, psychological issues often become interwoven. Try working with a sex therapist or general therapist. A therapist can help couples explore their sexual concerns and learn to better communicate their needs.

Years ago, a patient of mine told me the SSRI he was taking greatly helped his mood, but had affected his sexual function. He said: “If this continues, this medicine is not going to help my depression.

Because if I can’t get my sex drive back, I’m going to become really depressed.”

I took his point. Fortunately, adding another type of antidepressant solved the problem.

depressants are less likely to cause sexual problems.

These include bupropion (Wellbutrin), mirtazapine (Remeron), tricyclic antidepressants and monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs).

• Add a drug. For some men, taking sildenafil (Viagra), tadalafil (Cialis) or vardenafil (Levitra) sometimes can alleviate SSRI-induced erectile dysfunction. And men and women may both benefit from adding bupropion to their treatment. This medication has been found to counter SSRI-induced sexual dysfunction and can boost sexual drive and arousal. It also can increase the intensity or duration of an orgasm. Another drug, buspirone (Buspar), sometimes can restore the ability to have an orgasm and increase libido.

started taking an SSRI for depression. It has done wonders for my mood -- but it really has dampened my sex drive. Any suggestions?

Dear Reader: Since depression is so common, and since SSRIs are often used to treat depression, I’ve known many people who share your problem.

Fortunately, there are several options that often help people restore their sexual desire and function.

Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are the most commonly prescribed antidepressants.

This group of drugs includes fluoxetine (Prozac), escitalopram (Lexapro), sertraline (Zoloft) and citalopram (Celexa).

SSRIs effectively relieve depressive symptoms in many people. They also may help with a variety of other mental health problems, including anxiety, shyness (social phobia), obsessive-compulsive disorder and eating disorders.

But SSRIs can have uncomfortable side effects.

The best known of these are sexual. SSRIs can reduce interest in sex. They also can make it difficult to become aroused, sustain arousal and reach orgasm.

Some people taking SSRIs aren’t able to have an orgasm at all.

Sexual side effects sometimes subside with time, so it’s worth waiting a while to see if problems diminish.

This is particularly true if the medication is easing your depression significantly, as it is in your case.

If side effects persist, one or more of the following strategies may help: • Lower the dose. In my experience, lowering the dose sometimes still is effective for your mood, but eliminates sexual side effects.

• Schedule sex. Side effects may be more pronounced at particular times of the day. They may be worse within a few hours of taking your medication, for example. If so, plan to have sex when side effects are least bothersome. If this is

Real Life Adventures

Dear Abby: I have known “Dean” for 10 years. We have been living together for two.

Since the beginning, he has struggled with depression, anxiety and anger issues. Occasionally he has explosive episodes where he’ll throw things and punch or kick inanimate objects.

Recently things escalated.

He was angry with himself after getting angry with me for disturbing his “process” while making dinner, and he threw a potted plant across the room.

I’m not an idiot. I know these are serious issues.

Every friend or family member of mine who knows him believes he’s a good guy deep down. But they all tell me to leave him. I talked with him after the incident. He called a therapist, set up an appointment and has promised he won’t drink anymore.

I’m struggling with the judgment I’m feeling from my friends and family. Dean is a man I see a future with, and I don’t want to give him up when he’s finally seeking treatment.

My friends are concerned about me getting hurt, either in the crossfire or when I try to stop him from hurting himself. Am I an idiot for not walking away? – Not Ready

To Walk Dear Not Ready: If all

your family and friends are worried about your physical safety, for your own sake, you may have to stop trying to save Dean and concentrate on yourself for a while.

He may have many fine qualities, and the fact he is willing to seek help for his explosive temper says a lot for him.

That’s why I’m suggesting you and Dean pay a visit to his therapist together and ask whether it would be better if you live apart until he learns to recognize and manage his

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips “triggers.” It may give him the incentive to work harder on his problems – because it appears he has more than a few to deal with.

Dear Abby: Recently my 11-year-old son, “Jackson,” was at a neighbor’s house playing with another boy a few years younger. The boy told my son he plays with him only because his parents make him, and he said he isn’t Jackson’s friend and never wanted to be.

Jackson came home upset, and I was heartbroken for him. I comforted him and told him at least the boy was honest. I advised Jackson to find another friend to play with.

I’m at a loss on what to do next, if anything. Do I talk to the parents? Or just let it go? Friendship shouldn’t be forced, but my heart aches for my son. Please give me some advice. – Mama Bear In

Illinois Dear Mama Bear: Tell the

parents what happened if they ask again for Jackson to come over. While children say all kinds of things in the heat of the moment, it would be better for your son if you found some other activities for him – group activities involving sports or science or the arts – for at least a while.

While it’s understandable your neighbor’s son may resent being forced to play with Jackson, it is equally understandable Jackson might be reluctant at this point to have anything more to do with him. Don’t push it.

PUBLIC NOTICE

To patrons of Commonwealth EdiCASE NUMBER: DO2 01500340 son Company: Commonwealth Edison Company SUMMONS ("ComEd") hereby gives notice to HONORABLE: KAREN J. STILLWELL the public that on April 15, 2015, it filed with the Illinois Commerce WARNING: This Is an official doc- Commission ("ICC" or "Commisument from the court that affects sion") its annual formula rate upyour rights. Read this carefully. If date, including updated cost inyou do not understand it, contact puts, a revenue requirement recona lawyer for help. ciliation, and supporting testimony and other information, all for the SERVICE BY PUBLICATION purpose of determining, pursuant to FROM THE STATE OF ARIZONA TO Section 16-108.5 of the Illinois Public Utilities Act (the "Act"), upDEMITRIUS BRACKETT, dated rates for delivery services apRespondent plicable throughout ComEd's ser1. A lawsuit has been filed against vice territory in northern Illinois to you. A copy of the lawsuit and oth- be applicable beginning with the er court papers are served on you first monthly billing period of 2016. with this "Summons."

As provided in Section 16-108.5 of the Act, the updated costs are 2. If you do not want a judgment based on final historical cost data or order taken against you without for calendar year 2014 reflected in your input, you must file an "AnComEd's most recently filed annual swer" or a "Response" in writing with the court, and pay the filing FERC Form 1, plus projected plant fee. If you do not file an "Answer" additions for calendar year 2015, or "Response" the other party may as well as the associated adjustbe given the relief requested in ments to accumulated depreciation his/her Petition or Complaint. To file (change in depreciation reserve), your "Answer" or "Response" take, depreciation expense, and accu-

ments to accumulated depreciation (change in depreciation reserve), depreciation expense, and accumulated deferred income taxes. In addition, ComEd's 2014 actual costs, which are now known, are reconciled with the corresponding costs that had been used as part of the calculation of the revenue requirement for rates effective in calendar year 2014. Those updated costs and other inputs, and that reconciliation, collectively result in a distribution revenue requirement on which new delivery services rates are to be based (referred to in the filing as the "2016 Rate Year Net Revenue Requirement") of $2,531,558,000. This is a reduction of $50,456,000 from the analogous revenue requirement approved by the ICC in last year's annual update.

For residential customers receiving bundled fixed price electric service from ComEd, the delivery services charges are only a portion of the total bill. The remaining portion includes the cost of the electricity supply and other services, which are subject to the procurement process established by Section 1-75 of the Illinois Power Agency Act and the provisions of Section 16-111.5 of the Public Utilities Act and/or to regulation by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. Using rates applicable with the April 2015 billing period for such other components, the estimated total bill impacts of changes in the delivery component are provided herein. Increases are denoted by a + sign and decreases are denoted by a - sign.

For such customers, the delivery portion of electric bills represents approximately 39% of the total electric bill, on average, while the supply portion accounts for about 49%, the transmission portion accounts for approximately 8% and other charges such as taxes account for the remaining 4%. As a result, all other things being equal, the updated rates for the delivery portion result in an overall change in the total residential bills, on average, of -$1.05 per month or an estimated -1.2%. Total bill impacts for residential customers vary by delivery class and electric usage.

For example, the estimated total bill impact, on average, for multi-family residential customers without electric space heat utilizing on average 351 kilowatt-hours ("kWhs") per month, is -$1.78 per month or -3.3%. Likewise, the estimated total bill impact, on average, for single-family residential customers without electric space heat utilizing on average 765 kWhs per month, is -$1.02 per month or -1.0%.

Furthermore, the estimated total bill impact, on average, for multi-family residential customers with electric space heat, utilizing on average 837 kWhs per month, is +$2.24 per month or +2.3%. Additionally, the estimated total bill impact, on average, for single family residential customers with electric space heat, utilizing on average 1,799 kWhs per month, is +$3.46 or +1.8%. ComEd does not estimate total bill impacts for residential customers supplied by Retail Energy Suppliers and ComEd does not have the supply costs associated with such residential customers.

The updated delivery service rates for nonresidential customers in the Watt-Hour and Small Load delivery classes (100 kilowatts ("kW") or less of demand), with varying usages result in an overall percentage change in the total bill in the range of -3.8% to -0.8%. Nonresidential customers with larger electric loads (greater than 100 kW) have a wide range of electric load characteristics in addition to electricity supply

customers with larger electric loads (greater than 100 kW) have a wide range of electric load characteristics in addition to electricity supply costs that cannot be estimated; therefore, the overall effect of the updated delivery service rates on an electric bill for such customers cannot be determined.

The updated delivery service rates include ComEd's updated costs of delivering electricity through its distribution system and apply to all ComEd customers independent of whether electricity supply is procured and provided by ComEd or by a third party (i.e., a Retail Electric Supplier). These updated rates will take effect beginning with the first day of the January 2016 monthly billing period.

A copy of the materials filed with the Commission and supporting data and documents may be inspected by any interested party at ComEd's office located at Three Lincoln Centre in Oakbrook Terrace, Illinois. In addition, Commonwealth Edison Company will place an electronic version of this Public Notice with estimated bill impacts on its Internet website www.ComEd.com.

Customers are advised that the Commission may alter or amend the rates after hearings held pursuant to Section 16-108.5 of the Act and 83 Illinois Administrative Code Part 200, and may increase or decrease individual rates in amounts other than those requested

by ComEd. All parties interested in this matter may obtain information with respect thereto either directly from ComEd or by addressing the Chief Clerk of the Illinois Commerce Commission, 527 East Capitol Avenue, Springfield, Illinois 62706.
