BOLINGBROOK – The Bolingbrook Police Pension Board voted unanimously Wednesday to compel Drew Peterson to provide a deposition in a case determining whether his pension should be stripped from him.

If it is decided the former Bolingbrook police officer used his police training to kill his third wife, his Drew annual $79,000 Peterson police pension could be taken away.

Peterson, who served as a Bolingbrook police officer from 1977 to 2007, was convicted in 2012 of murdering Kathleen Savio, who was found dead in a bathtub in March 2004. Her drowning initially was ruled accidental, but the case was reopened when Peterson’s fourth wife, Stacy, disappeared in October 2007.

On Wednesday, the five-member Pension Board denied a motion by Peterson’s attorney, Steven Greenberg, to quash the evidence deposition for Peterson.

Lauren Leone-Cross – lleonecross@shawmedia.com

Richard Reimer, attorney for the Bolingbrook Police Pension Board, takes part in a pension hearing Wednesday considering whether Drew Peterson will have to testify in a case determining whether his pension should be stripped from him.

Charles Atwell, a lawyer who specializes in pension funds, said Wednesday he’s pleased with the outcome.

Atwell, who filed the initial motion to compel Peterson’s deposition, said he wants Peterson to testify “as part of [Peterson’s] burden of proof” in the pension hearing.

But Greenberg said Peterson has a right to cite his Fifth Amendment rights when deposed. Whether he answers any questions will be up to Peterson, Greenberg said. It’s also possible Peterson will refuse to participate, he said.

Prior to the board vote, Greenberg argued that he would go along with the depo-

sition, but only if he had a list of questions in writing beforehand.

“I don’t know what they want to ask him about. Hypothetically, if the question was going to be, ‘Did you kill Stacy?’ we would invoke the Fifth,” Greenberg said. “If the question is going to be, ‘Were you in uniform on the day you found Kathleen?’ we probably wouldn’t invoke it.”

Atwell said it is “not his intention” to go outside the parameters of the pension hearing during the deposition.

Richard Reimer, attorney for the board, said Wednesday the next step is to find out whether the Illinois Depart-

Police: Goebel’s death classified murder after evidence considered

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Lance Goebel’s death first was reported as a suicide, but that assessment changed to homicide when police began looking at evidence, a crime scene investigator testified Wednesday.

Will County Sheriff’s Deputy Rando Simeon was called to the stand in the murder trial of Goebel’s nephew, Jason Gonzalez, 29.

Gonzalez, who is representing himself, lived with his uncle’s family in the 22700 block of South Cedar Road in Manhattan Township until two months before the Sept.

17, 2009, slaying. Prosecutors believe Gonzalez had become “inappropriately fixated” on

children in the family before he was evicted.

Goebel’s widow testified Tuesday she came home that September evening with her children and found her husband’s body lying in front of a couch on the living room floor. She tried CPR before calling 911.

“Once you viewed Mr. Goebel on the Jason floor, did it Gonzalez change your assessment of whether this was a suicide or homicide?” Assistant Will County State’s Attorney Fred Harvey asked Simeon.

“There was already [suspicion], but it was confirmed it

wasn’t a suicide because there were multiple wounds and no gun in the vicinity,” Simeon said.

Simeon also testified a bullet was found on the floor near Goebel’s legs, and while a basement window was open, it contained cobwebs that would’ve been broken if someone had gone through.

Simeon said two children’s bedrooms and an office on the first floor appeared untouched, but Goebel’s bedroom was ransacked and some manila envelopes were scattered around.

Goebel’s widow testified Tuesday that Gonzalez was aware Goebel had kept money in envelopes in the bedroom for paintball trips.

The trial is scheduled to continue Thursday.

ment of Corrections’ Menard Correctional Center will allow the deposition to take place at the correctional facility.

Peterson is serving a 38-year prison sentence at Menard, and the Pension Board cannot order his release to testify before them. The Open Meetings Act prohibits the Pension Board from holding the hearing outside the village.

If IDOC denies, Reimer said the board likely would file a motion with the Will County Circuit Court to compel his deposition.

“And that could take a long time. Weeks, months,” he said.

Reimer said the deposition would be conducted at Menard Correctional Center with a court reporter and all three attorneys – Reimer, Atwell and Greenberg – present. Two board members also could attend.

COVER STORY TESTIMONY BEGINS

3

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The last defendant to be tried in the Hickory Street murders wants jurors to believe both victims were killed by another suspect when a fight got out of hand.

Assistant Public Defender April Simmons said Adam M. Landerman had not plotted with Joshua Miner, Bethany McKee and Alisa Massaro to rob Eric Glover Jr. and Terrance Rankins on Jan. 9, 2013, at Massaro’s house in the 1100 block of North Hickory Street in Joliet.

“There was Adam M. no plan [to rob Landerman them]. Josh Miner had a plan,” Simmons said.

“Later that evening, a fight occurred between J o s h M i n e r Eric Glover and Terrance Jr. Rankins and ...

Adam tried to stop Eric Glover from jumping in.”

Simmons said after Landerman stopped Terrance Glover, he went Rankins into the other room to find Miner had killed Rankins. He returned to “find Miner wrapping a cloth around Glover’s throat.”

But Will County State’s Attorney James Glasgow said Landerman strangled Glover to death while Miner was killing Rankins.

“Rankins and Glover were two young men doing nothing but coming over to party ... [believing] they’re among friends. They’re absolutely sitting ducks for anyone who wants to do them harm,” Glasgow said.

Simmons and Glasgow de-

BELOW: Edward Jaquays, defense attorney for Landerman, walks out of the courthouse Wednesday during a recess. livered opening statements Wednesday as Landerman’s trial began at the Will County Courthouse in Joliet. Landerman, the son of a Joliet police officer, is charged with murdering both men, legally accountable for their deaths by participating in the robbery, Glasgow said.

The suspects took $100 from Rankins’ pockets and $20 from Glover’s and used the money to buy cocaine and gas for McKee’s car, according to Glasgow.

To show McKee and Massaro the victims were truly dead, Landerman jumped on their backs and “surfed” to show they wouldn’t move, Massaro and Miner said during their interviews with authorities.

After the bodies were covered with a sheet, Landerman, Massaro and Miner tried to have sex either next to or on

top of them, McKee told investigators.

McKee and Miner opted for separate bench trials last year; both were found guilty.

Massaro cut a deal and pleaded guilty to lesser charges in exchange for testifying against the other three, al-

though she has only testified in McKee’s trial. She is not expected to testify in Landerman’s trial.

Officers take stand

Joliet Police Officers Brian Lanton, Michael DeVito and Terry Higgins were the first

witnesses to testify Wednesday. Police arrived at the house on the afternoon of Jan. 10, 2013, after McKee told her father about the bodies in the house and he called police.

DeVito said he was searching the basement of the Hickory Street home where the killings occurred with Higgins when he saw white shoes sticking out from some white paneling propped up in a side room. He discovered Landerman hiding there.

“He was crouched down, kind of facing the corner wall area [keeping] his hands under his torso,” DeVito said. “I drew my weapon, told him to show me his hands, but he did not comply. He turned to me and smiled.”

DeVito said Landerman did eventually raise his hands and Higgins placed him in handcuffs.

Evidence technician Nicholas Amelio testified he collected a set of keys and an orange cigarette lighter from the basement where Landerman had hid.

Amelio also identified yellow rubber gloves, two bottles of bleach, a handheld propane torch, a pair of small garden shears, a utility knife, two hand knives, a pair of scissors, a hacksaw and a second blade as items found near Rankins’ body, laid out on four black plastic garbage bags in the upstairs kitchenette.

Glasgow said after Landerman left the next morning, Miner had one of the women call and ask him to bring some of those items from his grandparents’ house. They would be used to get rid of the bodies.

Illinois State Police Crime Lab technician Jamie Edwards testified two of Landerman’s fingerprints were found on the propane torch and three of his prints were on the garbage bags.

The trial is scheduled to continue Thursday.

Fresh Thyme Farmers Market opens

Customers say it’s about time for a store like this

By BOB OKON bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Fresh Thyme Farmers Market opened Wednesday to the delight of natural food enthusiasts and vegetarians.

You don’t have to be a vegetarian to shop at Fresh Thyme Markets. The meat counter featured 20 varieties of sausages, including Chicago Sweet Italian, and the store had eight butchers on staff for the grand opening.

But rows of organic fruits and vegetables, including white onions displayed with a sign advising “Rich in Disease-Prevention Antioxidants,” show the store is aiming at a health-conscious market.

Store customers made comparisons to Trader Joe’s and Whole Foods, neither of which are nearby.

“I am thrilled that we have something like this in our area now,” said Allison Flood of Lockport. “I’ve been driving all over the place to go to Trader Joe’s and Whole Foods.”

More online Visit this article at TheHerald-News. com for a video of Fresh Thyme Farmers Market on its opening day.

Fresh Thyme Farmers Market is at 2700 Plainfield Road in the Louis Joliet Pointe shopping center, located outside the Louis Joliet Mall. The nearest Trader Joe’s and Whole Foods stores are in Orland Park and Naperville.

Brian Duffy of Plainfield said the timing of Fresh Thyme’s opening was ideal, since three weeks ago he went on a meatless diet for health reasons.

“I am literally five minutes from here,” Duffy said. “They have everything I could think of.”

Unique features included a make-your-own peanut butter machine. The store has a large

It also has an olive and antipasti bar, along with a salad bar. Fruits and vegetables are stacked neatly by hand.

Fresh Thyme Markets has most of the departments found in a supermarket. The brand names are different, although some familiar items are there, including Glad ClingWrap, Clorox bleach and even Old Style beer.

But the Clorox bleach is about the only big-brand found in shelves of laundry soaps advertising themselves as environmentally friendly.

Store Director Keith Plyer noted that while the frozen waffle selection does not include the Eggo brand, it does include Nature’s Path and Van’s, big names in the natural food business.

“I think the community of Joliet has been dying for something like this,” said Plyer, a lifelong resident of the city who has been in the grocery busi-

Plyer said he arrived at the store at 5 a.m. to find the parking lot full and people lined up outside the doors. The crowd was prompted by a promotion giving away $50 worth of groceries to each of the first 250 store customers when doors opened at 7 a.m.

Plyer said some people showed up as early as 3 a.m.

Fresh Thyme Markets is a company created in October 2012. The corporate office just two weeks ago moved to Downers Grove.

The company has 16 stores in the Midwest, with five in Illinois. Eleven stores are slated to open this year, including locations in Naperville and Crystal Lake. The company plans to open 25 stores next year.

JJC moves ahead with City Center campus project College will pay for the project after not receiving state funding

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Joliet Junior College will proceed with the City Center campus project without state funding.

After receiving word several weeks ago that JJC might receive the $10 million in state funding promised for the project, college officials decided to move forward as time drew short for honoring project bids and the slated opening of the building neared.

“The prevailing thought is [state funding] won’t be approved until the total [state] budget is approved,” JJC Board Chairman Jeff May said.

College officials hope they will eventually be reimbursed by the state for the project.

State lawmakers are at an impasse in developing a

spending plan. Democratic legislators approved a budget that fell short by about $3 billion in revenue. Gov. Bruce Rauner said he won’t sign it, dubbing it a “phony” budget.

He said he wants lawmakers to consider pieces of his “turnaround agenda” along with the budget.

Rauner Spokeswoman Catherine Kelly said Wednesday the state funding for JJC’s City Center project remains under review, along with all other state spending as Illinois deals with budget deficit issues.

She said she didn’t know when the project’s funding would become available.

May said JJC officials want to start construction on the City Center’s interior because project bids came in under budget and will expire by the end of June. The building’s

The exterior of Joliet Junior College’s City Center campus in downtown Joliet was finished last year. JJC trustees hope to see work begin this summer on the building’s interior. slated opening – fall 2016 – was another factor for moving forward.

It wasn’t until a Building and Grounds Committee meeting held in May that JJC trustees learned the college’s lobbyist, Curry & Associates LLC, suggested the college might eventually receive the state funding needed.

But Jeff May said in recent discussions with JJC President Debra Daniels and the lobbyist, they decided JJC needed to go forward with the project. He said at Tuesday’s board meeting the college “really need to get going now.”

May said he expects early construction work on the interior to begin in late summer.

“We’re really optimistic about it. … I know the community will be really proud of it,” May said about the building.

Plainfield concert series continues with new sponsor

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – The 2015 Settlers’ Park Concert Series is being sponsored by a new pair of Plainfield residents this season, with concerts beginning next week.

The village’s “Movies in the Park” series also is starting up in Settlers’ Park on Friday with a showing of “Big Hero 6” at the Richard A. Rock Amphitheater.

Residents Greg and Dorothy Chapman are sponsoring the concert series this year after the death of sponsor Tim Stetenfeld earlier this year.

Stetenfeld and his company, Edward Jones Investments, sponsored the concert series from 2011 to 2014, according to village spokeswoman Amy De Boni.

Three concerts are set up for this summer. Multigenerational music band BBI is

Braidwood police arrest man on robbery charges BRAIDWOOD – One of the men police said was involved in the robbery of a juvenile at Old Smokey City Park in Braidwood has been arrested, but the other remains at large, according to authorities.

Braidwood Police Detective Steve Finlon said a juvenile was robbed by two men at knifepoint at 9 p.m. May 31 at the park. Demonte Garrison, 21, of Joliet was arrested Monday in Wilmington and charged with robbery.

friend, Finlon said. Authorities are looking for the other suspect, and anyone with information is encouraged to call 815-458-4230.

On May 31, the two men approached a juvenile and his girlfriend at Old Smokey Park and demanded his money, Finlon said. When he refused, they allegedly robbed him.

The Braidwood Police Department was contacted once the juvenile went home.

Finlon said police were able to see everyone involved in the robbery through security cameras at the park, but the robbery itself was not recorded.

State union workers protest against governor More online

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Chants of “Hey, hey, ho, ho, Rauner’s tax cuts got to go,” could be heard Wednesday afternoon at the Illinois Department of Human Services building in downtown Joliet.

State employees who work at 45 E. Webster St. and are a part of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees Council 31 picketed around the building as part of a planned day of protests throughout the state for Illinois AFSCME employees.

State employees also were scheduled to picket in Alton, Anna, Aurora, Bloomington, Champaign, Charleston, Chicago, Danville, Galesburg, Kankakee, Pontiac and Rock Island, according to AFSCME. The goal was to garner support for unions, as six months of negotiations for a state employees’ contract has yielded little common ground.

“We remain very far apart,” AFSCME spokesman Anders Lindall said.

“Typically, a lot more progress would have been made than at this point,” Lindall said. “This is the result of the Rauner administration continuing to push extreme and harmful proposals that would hurt those that need the services and those that provide those services.”

Picketers circled the building three times before heading inside because of the

State employees who work at 45 E. Webster St. and are a part of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees Council 31 picketed Wednesday in downtown Joliet. midday heat. But they said it was important to get the message out.

“We’re here because we believe contract negotiations need to be fair,” said Theresa Jackson, a case worker for Human Services. “From the beginning, Rauner wants to establish a ‘right to work’ state, which means you won’t work.”

Jackson was referring to Rauner’s “right to work” agenda, which involves giving public employees the ability to opt out of unions.

Bernice Ford, a case worker who also is the chairwoman for the political arm of AFSCME Local 2794, said workers were protesting to

“Typically, a lot more progress would have been made than at this point. This is the result of the Rauner administration continuing to push extreme and harmful proposals that would hurt those that need the services and those that provide those services.”

Anders Lindall AFSCME spokesman draw attention to the governor’s proposals, which she calls unfair.

“We are not interested in the cuts he is proposing in insurance and other areas,” Ford said. “We want to draw attention to the governor’s unfair proposal.”

Rauner addressed at a news conference Tuesday the topic of AFSCME members picketing.

He said public workers deserve good pay and benefits, but he claimed those workers are getting paid more than equivalent private sec-

tor workers, according to an audio recording of the news conference posted on the governor’s website.

He also said public workers have unaffordable pensions and health care benefits, and a pay scale based on seniority instead of productivity, effectiveness and saving taxpayer money.

“The insiders in government, who are making a lot of money from government, are going to be cranky about the changes,” Rauner said, according to the recording.

“Change is difficult. But we’ve got to make change.”

Ford said both sides have to work out a deal soon. “[Rauner] wants to draw attention to the argument that state workers are overpaid,” Ford said. “We’re willing to work with the governor, but he has to be willing to work with us, as well.”

Lindall agreed, adding that there hasn’t been a work stoppage in 40 years.

Unkempt lawns, ash trees discussed at klatch

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – If a neighboring house’s lawn is so unkempt it looks like a jungle, chances are the village probably already knows about it, Plainfield Police Chief John Konopek said.

Chances are the house is one of too many on a growing list of properties the village is trying to work through for village code compliance.

“Last month we had over 600 weed and grass complaints,” Konopek told residents Wednesday morning at the monthly Plainfield Coffee with the Mayor. “In a normal year, we have 300 to 400 complaints per month.”

A resident of the Wilding Pointe subdivision brought up the issue Wednesday, speaking about a foreclosed house in his neighborhood with a lawn that hasn’t been cut since the former owners moved out.

Konopek said the extra rainy season has grass growing at a faster rate this year. This is causing more residents to complain about others’ lawns, increasing the number of properties that need checking.

“It’s such a ridiculous cutting season,” he said, adding the backlog has delayed the response time for requests.

Village Administrator Brian Murphy advised residents to refrain from cutting just the front lawn of other properties,

“Last month we had over 600 weed and grass complaints. In a normal year, we have 300 to 400 complaints per month.”

John Konopek Plainfield police chief explaining that a property gets checked off as fine if the front lawn looks good, even if the backyard hasn’t been cut.

Konopek said the village uses its own resources and also contracts out inspection work.

“We’re asking for people’s patience on this,” he said.

“Our evaluation shows that there are over 1,800 trees that need to be taken down this year,” Persons said. “This is a challenge. Over the next two months, our goal is to take down 1,000 trees.”

Persons said the department is using college interns to work landscaping and other maintenance, freeing up employees to work on ash tree removal. It’s also renting an additional chipper, splitting

State issues

After being prompted by a resident’s question, Murphy blasted Gov. Bruce Rauner’s plans to take a portion of municipalities’ income tax share, and freeze property tax rates.

“It’s a horrific situation in Springfield,” Murphy said.

“All the local governments made tough, sometimes Draconian, decisions. We’ve all been able to balance our budgets barely. So the state’s answer says, you have money on the books, so we’re going to take money from you.”

Murphy encouraged residents to contact their state representatives and senators and tell them about the effect the property tax freeze and other measures will have on the village, schools and services in Plainfield.

In those four years, a little more than half those trees have been removed. Last year, the village took down 1,000 trees.

Lemont trustees approve water construction projects LEMONT – The Lemont Village Board awarded construction contracts this week for three water-related projects this year.

For the first contract, Lemont will pay $65,343 to replace an undersized storm sewer on Hillview Drive.

Public Works Director Ralph Pukula said a storm sewer system, consisting of four manholes tied together into a larger storm sewer main line, would alleviate standing water at the intersection of Keepataw and Hill-

view drives.

He said the project will begin at the end of June or at the beginning of July and will take two weeks to complete.

The other contracts were for water main replacement projects on Ledochowski Street, from McCarthy Road south to Schultz Street, and on Crestview Drive, from Hillview Drive to Keepataw Drive.

The Ledochowski replacement will cost $529,718, while the Crestview replacement will cost $270,749.

Pukula said the Crestview replacement would be done first and would take four to five weeks to complete.

To help pay for the water main replacements, as well as other water and sewer infrastructure projects, the village plans to issue $5.9 million in bonds.

As part of the process, the board held a public hearing on the bonds during its meeting Monday. There was no public comment.

The board is scheduled to vote on issuing the bonds during its June 22 meeting.

At the June 22 meeting, village staff also are expected to propose refunding options on two 2007 bonds to save money, taking advantage of favorable interest rates.

Grundy board gets heated over IMRF

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – After heated discussion at Tuesday’s Grundy County Board meeting, Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund benefits for County Board members will be terminated as of July 1.

The original resolution was a retroactive termination to June 1, complying with IMRF audit responses sent to the retirement fund from Grundy County Treasurer Lori Werden after approval from the board’s Finance Committee and the Grundy County State’s Attorney’s Office.

A recent audit showed board members receiving IMRF benefits they may not have been entitled to because they were not working the required 1,000 hours a year necessary to receive them.

“The original resolution should have stood,” Grundy County Board Chairman

David Welter said after the meeting. “I’m disappointed it didn’t pass in its original form. It’s a disservice to taxpayers.”

Board member Frank Halpin proposed the change from June 1 to July 1, which was seconded by Harold Vota.

“My concern is perhaps those in IMRF would have liked to have made some decisions,” Halpin said during the meeting. “Perhaps go to July so people can make decisions.

I think there was very scarce information.”

Werden said Wednesday that before Tuesday’s meeting, she had spoken with the Personnel Committee and the Finance Committee, as well as emailed the audit findings.

In addition, she gave IMRF forms to board members three times, and a majority did not return them.

cials before an official vote.

Assistant State’s Attorney Perry Rudman said in defense of the treasurer that she came early enough to rectify the situation before June 1, but she was blown off originally.

He said the decision on what to do with IMRF would not change whether the date on

the resolution was June 1 or July 1, so there wasn’t a reason to extend it.

Board member Debra Warning spoke against the date change, saying board members have a responsibility to read what they are signing. Now that they are aware, she said, they should rectify the issue without costing the taxpayers additional fees for June IMRF payments.

Vota disagreed, stating he represents the county daily and it’s all in how you interpret hours.

“I am representing the county 24-7,” Vota said after the meeting.

Board member John Roth said he didn’t think it would make or break IMRF or the county if they held off until July 1.

“I just wanted to make it clear that if you vote yes on this amended termination, that we are knowingly going against the audit and knowingly doing something that is

illegal. We do not qualify for these IMRF benefits,” Board Vice President David Nelson said.

“Why would we vote yes to extend it by 30 days? That makes no sense, and anyone that votes yes to that is voting yes to illegal activity by the county – and I hope the voters of this county pay attention,” he added.

The amendment passed with Joyce, Halpin, Roth, Debra Jo Kinsella, Don Neushwander Jr., Mike Onorato and John Galloway voting for the amendment. Nelson voted no, and Warning, Kerri Courtright, Vicki Gieger, Ann Gill and Ken Iverson abstained.

Werden said Wednesday she has to re-enroll the board members who are in IMRF, make additional payments for June and would again terminate for July 1. She also will be required to change the audit response and she is unaware of what action, if any, IMRF will take.

Comptroller Leslie Munger speaks Wednesday during a news conference in Chicago. The Republican appointed by Gov. Bruce Rauner told reporters that if lawmakers can’t agree before the start of the July 1 fiscal year, state workers will start missing paychecks July 15 and state vendors won’t receive payments.

The Associated Press CHICAGO – Illinois Comptroller Leslie Munger said Wednesday that if lawmakers don’t reach a state budget deal by the end of the month, she’ll be unable to do her job of paying most of the state’s bills.

The Republican, a Joliet native whom Bruce Rauner hand-picked while governor-elect, warned of a scenario where state employees wouldn’t receive paychecks, public schools would stop getting state aid and vendors – from childcare providers to road construction crews – wouldn’t get paid.

“There will be very real consequences for taxpayers and organizations throughout our state,” Munger told reporters in her first major Chicago news conference since her appointment in January after the death of her predecessor, Judy Baar Topinka.

Illinois lawmakers are at a budget impasse. Legislative Democrats approved a spending plan that avoids cuts to services but acknowledge it’s at least $3 billion short of revenue and want Rauner to approve new taxes. The Republi-

can governor has said he won’t sign the “phony” budget and lawmakers should first consider his agenda, including overhauling workers compensation and term limits, to better Illinois’ business climate.

Munger tried to ratchet up pressure for both sides to come to an agreement before July 1, the start of the new fiscal year. But the businesswoman, who’s holding public office for the first time, largely blamed the Democratic-controlled Legislature, echoing many of Rauner’s charges. She accused legislators of “needless theater” and failing to accomplish other reforms, although she declined to specify what she wants to see on the table.

“They have failed to do their job,” she said. “Their failure now prevents me from doing mine.”

Without a budget deal, there would be no new payments to providers of Medicaid, which pays medical expenses of the poor and disabled, nonprofit groups and other vendors, Munger said.

She added that state employees would stop getting paid July 15 and schools would miss general state aid payments starting Aug. 10, which could cause ma-

jor disruptions.

She said some payments would continue because they don’t rely on budget appropriations or are protected by law.

Those include most payments to municipalities and those for debt, retirement benefits and some assistance for poor families and disabled people.

Both Rauner and Democratic leaders have accused each other of refusing to compromise on the budget, and there have been few signs of progress in overtime sessions since lawmakers blew a May 31 budget deadline. On Tuesday, the General Assembly took up a proposal freezing property taxes and the House voted it down. The idea is part of Rauner’s “turnaround agenda,” but Rauner said the legislation fell short of what he wanted.

The House and Senate plan to meet several times this month, but Democratic leaders have defended their spending plan.

“The General Assembly has passed a budget that reflects our priorities and protects the middle class,” said Rikeesha Phelon, a spokeswoman for Senate President John Cullerton. “The governor still has time to work with us.”

Walgreens, insurers push expansion of virtual doctor visits Dr. Harry Leider Walgreens chief medical officer

patient is located.

Programs offered by Walgreens Boots Alliance Inc. and the insurers give customers around-the-clock access to doctors who can diagnose and treat conditions like allergies, a sinus infection or pink eye that don’t require a physical exam.

The extent of the care a patient receives can vary by state.

Some regulators prevent a doctor from using a telemedicine visit to write prescriptions for controlled substances or abortion-inducing medicines. Some states also require a doctor to have an established relationship with a patient, which might include a physical or mental exam, before allowing them to do a telemedicine visit.

These virtual visits can cost around $49 for patients with no coverage or insurance that makes them pay a high deductible. That compares with typical prices of $70 for a clinic or more than $100 for a doctor’s office visit.

Walgreens started testing its app last December on smartphones and is expanding it to both tablets and personal computers.

UnitedHealth Group Inc., the nation’s largest health insurer, just started covering telemedicine visits earlier this year for about a million people with employer-sponsored health plans. The insurer aims

to expand that to 20 million customers next year.

Anthem Inc. started its LiveHealth Online service in 2013 by offering it to a few thousand people. It now provides the service in 44 states and also expects 20 million of its customers to have access by next year.

Doctors say telemedicine can help improve access to care for many patients, as long as the care is good, a record of the patient visit makes it back to that person’s regular doctor and safety isn’t compromised.

Dr. Robert Wergin expects to do more telemedicine visits in the future as more insurers begin to cover it. The Milford, Nebraska, doctor said it can help many of his patients who are older and have a hard time getting out of the house.

“I can see a real benefit there,” he said.

But the president of the American Academy of Family Physicians also cautioned that telemedicine has limits. He noted, for instance, that one of his patients recently wound up having quadruple bypass surgery after coming to see him for a burning sensation in his chest. The physician could rule out acid reflux as a potential cause by examining the patient’s abdomen, something a doctor couldn’t do in a virtual visit.

Walgreens said the doctors in its program are trained to quickly determine whether a patient needs more care than they can provide during a virtual visit.

“We’re very careful in only using telemedicine for certain conditions that are amenable to this,” Walgreens Chief Medical Officer Dr. Harry Leider said. “We’re not treating heart attacks.”

Millions of people will be able to see a doctor on their smartphones or laptops for everyday ailments once the nation’s largest drugstore chain and two major insurers expand a budding push into virtual health care.

Walgreens said Wednesday that it will offer a smartphone application that links doctor and patients virtually in 25 states by the end of the year.

That growth comes as UnitedHealth Group and the Blue Cross-Blue Shield insurer Anthem prepare to make their own non-emergency telemedicine services available to about 40 million more people by next year.

Doctors have used video feeds and other technology for years to treat patients in rural areas or remote locations. But experts say growing smartphone use and customer demand are fueling a rapid expansion of the practice, called telemedicine, into everyday care the family doctor used to handle. Now this push is gaining an additional boost from health care companies with broad, national reach.

The American Telemedicine Association estimates that about 450,000 patients will see a doctor through the Internet this year for a primary care consultation. That’s a small slice of the roughly 15 million people who will have care delivered by telemedicine, which has mostly been used by specialist doctors. But the primary care portion has probably doubled over the past couple years, said Jon Linkous, CEO of the nonprofit association.

“I would say without a doubt it’s the fastest area of growth in telemedicine,” he said. “There’s this convenience factor that makes it so compelling to consumers.”

Drugstores, grocers and big retailers like Wal-Mart have been opening clinics inside their stores for years now, giving patients several less-expensive alternatives to a doctor’s office when they need help. Internet doctor visits aim to offer even more convenience by providing care wherever the

Faculty to weigh in on new U of Illinois medical school name

URBANA – The University of Illinois is now asking faculty leaders to weigh in on the name of a planned new medical school.

According to The News-Gazette in Champaign, university rules require that the Faculty Senate weigh in on any new college within the university.

CHICAGO – A Ford Motor Co. executive says the automaker’s Chicago assembly plant will stop production of the Lincoln MKS full-sized sedan next year.

Joe Hinrichs is executive vice president and president of the Americas for Ford. The Munster Times reported he says once production of the Lincoln model stops, Ford will “use that capacity to make more Explorers.”

The Lincoln sedan is a small part of production at the Ford plant on Chicago’s South Side and Hinrichs says it won’t affect the roughly 4,000 workers there. The plant also makes Explorers, the Taurus model and police vehicles.

Hinrichs told the Chicagoland Chamber of Commerce on Tuesday that Dearborn, Michigan-based Ford has invested $400 million in the Chicago plant and that it’s “an important part of Ford’s future.”

CHICAGO – The trail of a celebrity photo-hacking scandal led the FBI to an unassuming brick home in Chicago, according to recently unsealed court documents that reveal agents zeroed in on a computer they linked to nearly 600 hacked personal data-storage accounts.

Some accounts belonged to female stars whose nude photos were leaked online.

The FBI seized computers and cellphones from the southwest side home in October, but no charges have been filed.

No one answered the door when The Associated Press visited the address Wednesday. A phone number associated with the address went unanswered.

At the time of the raid, investigators believed an IP address for a computer at the home was used to access Apple iCloud accounts belonging to celebrities, according to an affidavit unsealed in April.

The affidavit identifies eight celebrities by their initials only. Other hacked accounts belonged to other celebrities, models and their friends and families, the affidavit said.

Two of the stars talked to the FBI, according to the affidavit. One celebrity “who has appeared in several movies and TV shows” learned she was a victim of the leaks through the news media, the document says.

“All photos were taken with her iPhone and sent through iMessage to her boyfriend,” the affidavit says.

Similarly, another star “who

Sonny worked as a mechanic most of his life, until he retired.

has appeared in several movies” told the FBI “some of the photos were sent to her fiance, others were never sent and only stored on her phone.”

FBI spokeswoman Laura Eimiller in Los Angeles said no charges have been filed.

The lack of charges may indicate the computer’s owner could be a victim, too, said Bill Kresse, a cybersecurity expert at Governors State University in University Park. A computer or its IP address can be hijacked from anywhere in the world, Kresse said.

“Be cautious about what you put on the iCloud,” Kresse said, and make sure your passwords are difficult to crack.

The raid is part of an ongoing investigation into how nude and sexually explicit photos of celebrities – such as Jennifer Lawrence, whose initials are not in the affidavit – were stolen and posted without permission.

Last summer’s scandal highlighted the vulnerabilities of cloud computing – technology often used to store personal information on the Internet.

In September, Apple said its engineers had determined that hackers breached individual accounts and didn’t obtain general access to the company’s services.

Body found in Rock River identified as homicide suspect

ROCKFORD – Dental records have identified a body found floating in the Rock River as a northern Illinois man wanted in the killing of a Rockford woman in January.

Authorities announced

Tuesday that the body has been identified as Michael Spraggins, 46. The Rockford Register Star reported authorities had been searching for him since Jan. 2, when Rachael Ross-Golden, 41, was found dead with a gunshot wound to the head in a Belvidere apartment.

The killing is believed to be an act of domestic violence, Belvidere Police Chief Jan Noble has said, because the pair apparently was romantically connected.

The discovery of Spraggins’ body has prompted the end of the investigation into Ross-Golden’s death, according to Tony Martin, the city’s deputy police chief.

“Right now, we’re not seeking any other suspects,” Martin said. “We believe the person responsible for her death is Michael Spraggins.”

Police received a tip the morning Ross-Golden’s body was discovered that a man may have jumped into the Rock River, leading investigators to believe early on that it could have been Spraggins, former Belvidere Deputy Chief Mark Pollock said in March.

On March 16, authorities from several local departments searched the river, but they initially were unable to locate Spraggins’ body.

After receiving a report Saturday from boaters who said they spotted a body, the Winnebago County Sheriff’s Department, Winnebago County Coroner’s Office and the Rockford Fire Department searched an area of the river near Blackhawk Island.

They later recovered Spraggins’ body from the water.

ST. CHARLES – Authorities say they have captured a 19-yearold man who they say escaped from a juvenile detention facility west of Chicago.

The Illinois Department of Juvenile Justice said Denzell Walker left the medium-security Illinois Youth Center in St. Charles around 10 p.m.

Monday.

Authorities said Walker was taken into custody Wednesday.

They would not say where he was apprehended.

Department of Juvenile Justice spokesman Michael Theodore said Walker was taken to the facility June 4 on a parole violation because he had been arrested on burglary charges.

Theodore said the man’s escape was the first from a state juvenile prison since 2013.

He will be returned to state custody.

U.S. ordering more troops to Iraq, but no strategy overhaul

By JIM KUHNHENN and LOLITA C. BALDOR The Associated Press WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama ordered the deployment of up to 450 more American troops to Iraq on Wednesday in an effort to reverse major battlefield losses to the Islamic State, an escalation but not a significant shift in the struggling U.S. strategy to defeat the extremist group.

The U.S. forces will open a fifth training site in the country, this one dedicated specifically to helping the Iraqi Army integrate Sunni tribes into the fight – an element seen as a crucial to driving the Islamic State out of the Sunni-majority areas of western Iraq.

The immediate objective is to win back the key city of Ramadi, which was seized by extremists last month.

The U.S. is insistent that Americans will not have a combat role. But in the deployment of American forces and the equipping of Iraqi troops, the U.S. must make sure “that we can be nimble because clearly this is a very nimble enemy,” Deputy National Security Adviser Benjamin Rhodes told reporters.

The plan is not a change in the U.S. strategy, the admin-

istration said, but addresses a need to get Sunnis more involved in the fight. Some local citizens in Sunni-majority areas fear an invasion and reprisals from Iran-backed Shiite militia even more than domination by the Islamic State, underscoring a need for any military campaign there to be led by local fighters.

But the Shiite-led Iraqi government’s record in recruiting Sunni tribesman has been mixed at best, slowing efforts to regain Ramadi and Fallujah, a nearby city that Islamic State militants have held for more than a year.

Iraqi leaders fear that Sunni fighters, once armed, could turn against the government, and they have deployed most U.S.-trained Iraqi troops in defensive formations around Baghdad, the capital.

Obama lamented this week the U.S. lacks a “complete strategy” for defeating the Islamic State, and officials pointed to a glaring lack of recruits among Sunnis. Wednesday’s announcement of a new training site at al-Taqaddum is designed to fix that. The added troops will include advisers, trainers, logisticians and security personnel.

But the changes don’t go nearly far enough for critics of the administration’s approach. They have pressed for

military coordinators and advisers closer to the front lines to augment the U.S. airstrike campaign.

House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, said Wednesday that sending several hundred military advisers to Iraq “is a step in the right direction,” but he criticized Obama for not having “an overarching strategy.” Sen. John McCain of Arizona, the GOP chairman of the Armed Services Committee, was harsher: “This is incremental-ism at its best or worst, depending on how you describe it.”

Wednesday’s careful escalation illustrated Obama’s reluctance to plunge the U.S. too deeply into the fighting and his opposition to reintroducing U.S. soldiers into a war he had vowed to bring to an end.

Still, even some Democrats were concerned with the steps announced.

“Absent significant reform, we can help the Iraqi forces win battles, but they will not stay won,” said Rep. Adam Schiff of California, the House Intelligence Committee’s top Democrat. He took issue with Obama expanding the U.S. role in Iraq while the war still lacks congressional authorization, and he said it was up to Abadi’s government to give Sunnis a greater voice in running of their country.

By DAVID WARREN The Associated Press DALLAS – A Texas police officer had answered backto-back suicide calls and was fraught with emotion when he responded to a report of a fight at a pool party where he wrestled a black teenage girl to the ground, his lawyer said Wednesday, hours after activists called for prosecutors to charge him.

Attorney Jane Bishkin said David Eric Casebolt, known to friends and family as Eric, apologizes for his treatment of the girl and to others offended by his actions Friday at a community pool in the Dallas suburb of McKinney.

“With all that happened that day, he allowed his emotions to get the better of him,” Bishkin said.

However, the attorney for Dajerria Becton, the 15-yearold girl whom Casebolt subdued, said that while her client’s family appreciated Casebolt’s apology, his stress is not an adequate defense.

“There are appropriate ways to handle stress, and Officer Casebolt’s actions were in no way appropriate,” Hannah Stroud said Wednesday.

Stroud also said the family will not decide on a next step until she and the city have completed their fact-finding, but they believe excessive force violated Dejrria’s civil rights.

Casebolt’s first call that day was to an apartment complex where a man had fatally shot himself in front of his wife and children, Bishkin said. The former officer of the year, who resigned Tuesday, then went to a home where a teenager was threatening to kill herself by jumping from the roof of her parents’ home.

“Eric’s compassion during these two incidents is a testament to his character,” Bishkin said, acknowledging that they had taken an “emotional toll” and made him reluctant to respond to the pool party.

Ultimately, he did after hearing a violent assault had occurred, she said.

Indonesia volcano at high alert level unleashing a fresh burst TANAH KARO, Indonesia – A volcano in western Indonesia that has been spewing clouds of searing gas high into the air let out a new powerful burst Wednesday.

Authorities are closely monitoring Mount Sinabung on Sumatra, one of Indonesia’s main islands, after placing it at the highest alert level last week.

Hot ash tumbled down Sinabung’s slopes up to 1.5 miles from its smoldering mouth, government volcanologist Surono said. He

urged villagers to stay out of the main danger zone, which stretches four miles to the southeast of the crater. No injuries were reported.

“The growing size of the lava dome is very unstable,” said Surono, who goes by one name, adding that smoldering rocks mixed in with hot gases may tumble down at any time.

The volcano in North Sumatra province has been shooting smoke and ash more than 1,640 feet into the air since Monday. Authorities counted more than 50 separate eruptions early Wednesday, but said villages outside the evacuated area

were not in immediate danger.

Mount Sinabung is among about 130 active volcanoes in Indonesia, which is prone to seismic upheaval because of its location on the Pacific “Ring of Fire,” an arc of volcanoes and fault lines encircling the Pacific Basin.

The 8,530-feet Mount Sinabung has erupted sporadically since 2010, after being dormant for 400 years.

An eruption last year killed at least 17 people.

More than 2,700 people were evacuated from villages around the crater into several temporary shelters.

VATICAN CITY – Pope Francis took the biggest step yet to crack down on bishops who cover up for priests who rape and molest children, creating a new tribunal inside the Vatican to hear cases of bishops accused of failing to protect their flock.

The initiative, announced Wednesday, has significant legal and theological implications, since bishops long have been considered masters of their dioceses and largely unaccountable when they bungle their job, with the Vatican stepping in only in cases of gross negligence.

That reluctance to intervene has prompted years of criticism from abuse victims, advocacy groups and others that the Vatican had failed to punish or forcibly remove bishops who moved predator priests from parish to parish, where they could rape again, rather than report them to police or remove them from ministry.

The Vatican said Francis had approved proposals made by his sexual abuse advisory board, which includes survi-

vors of abuse as well as experts in child protection policies.

The proposals call for a new mechanism by which the Vatican can receive and examine complaints of “abuse of office” by bishops, and bring them to trial in a Vatican tribunal.

A special new judicial section, with permanent staff, will be created inside the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith “to judge bishops with regard to crimes of the abuse of office when connected to the abuse of minors,” a Vatican statement said.

Details still must be worked out, including possible punishments and the statute of limitations to determine whether old cases of negligence by bishops dating back 20 or 30 years can be heard now.

The congregation currently reviews all cases of priests who have abused minors and the statute of limitations is 20 years, although the congregation can waive that limit.

“I sincerely believe this is a real step forward,” commission member Marie Collins, herself a survivor of abuse, told The Associated Press in an email. “Time will tell the effectiveness of the new measure, but I am hopeful.”

having unruly.

Local and national civil rights groups held a protest Wednesday in front of the McKinney Police Department, asking that prosecutors charge the 41-year-old white ex-corporal for his actions. Police Chief Greg Conley has called his actions “indefensible.”

“We will keep on assembling and protesting until this officer is charged,” said Dominique Alexander with the Next Generation Action Network, based in the Dallas suburb of Grand Prairie.

Bishkin said Casebolt was “not targeting minorities,” adding, “he also detained a white female, who you do not see on the video.”

At one point, he drew his firearm after two young black men charged forward in apparent protest of the girl’s treatment but holstered the weapon when two other officers intervened.

Police said officers were responding to reports of teens unauthorized to use the pool who were jumping a fence to gain entry. Residents of the middle-class neighborhood have said teens attending an end-of-school party at the pool and adjacent park were be-

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Islam not compatible with America

To the Editor: Islam and its legal system, Sharia law, are not compatible with America or our Constitution.

We value our freedoms, particularly freedom of religion and speech.

Muslims in America insist on freedom and even special accommodations. In Muslim-controlled countries, however, there is no freedom of religion or speech related to religion. The Koran 9:5 says “Fight and kill the disbelievers wherever you find them, lie in wait and ambush them using every stratagem of war.” The Koran also says, “Fight them until all opposition ends and all submit to Allah.” This is the so-called peace of Islam when everyone has been conquered. Islam not a religion of peace.

Sharia law covers public behavior, private behavior and private beliefs. Of all legal systems in the world today, Islam’s Sharia law is the most intrusive and strict, especially against women. In Muslim-controlled countries, non-Muslims get three choices: convert, pay a heavy tax and become second-class citizens, or be killed. Criticizing the Quran/Koran, the prophet Muhammad, or converting to Christianity is punishable by death. A man can have four wives, marry a 9-year-old girl, and beat his wife for insubordination. A women cannot testify against her rapist, inherits half of what a male inherits and cannot drive a car. Homosexuals are executed. These facts are available on the Internet under Sharia law.

The history of Islam is full of wholesale massacres of Christians and destruction of their churches by Islamic conquers. This includes the horrific Armenian genocide in 1915

by Turkish authorities in the Ottoman Empire. Islamic terrorists groups such as ISIS, al-Qaida, and Boko Haram are following the Koran and Sharia law.

Their actions are not driven by lack of jobs, the crusades or misunderstandings. Islamic ideology is not compatible with America.

Hospice is valuable asset to Joliet area

To the Editor: On June 2, Joliet Area Community Hospice hosted its annual Clergy Day at its state-of-the-art hospice home in Joliet. This free educational program was open to the community and attended by more than 30 area clergy and lay leaders. The subject of this year’s program was “Ministering to the Traumatized.” The program included sessions that will help the participants better serve their members by increasing their understanding and awareness of traumatic grief when death occurs due to health, age, accident, overdose, suicide or as a victim of violent crime.

Tom Barkauskas, JACH director of social and spiritual services, his staff and guest speaker Kathy Cherven, RN-LCPC-CCTP, a JACH bereavement counselor, did an outstanding job presenting information on this difficult subject.

Cherven led the group discussing subjects such as “What Grief Is Not” – the fact that you can’t go around grief and/or add to it, discussed what grief really is, the body’s reaction to it, stages and styles of grief.

Continuing was a discussion of trauma as related to grief and/or tragic occurrence, with symptoms and responses.

Following this, techniques to help people navigate through both trauma and grief were offered by use of verbal, written and narrative.

I commend the JACH staff for filling the needs of the community, having the courage to address them and for their hard work, commitment and compassion for assisting other with difficult life issues. The dedicated JACH staff continuously demonstrates and proves that 24/7/365 care is not only for the patients they have the pleasure to care for, but also extends to the community and beyond.

The Joliet Area Community Hospice is a valuable asset and resource to Joliet.

Michael Hastings and Patrick McGuire, and state Reps. Larry Walsh Jr. and Natalie Manley, for voting “yes” on Senate Bill 788.

This important health care legislation will save the state of Illinois $411 million through a combination of cuts, savings and reductions in addition to increased funds from the federal government. Senate Bill 788 also will help guarantee that those who are the most at risk in our community will be able to receive the health care they need when they need it. This includes children, senior citizens and people with disabilities or mental illness.

Silver Cross, along with many other hospitals across Illinois, strongly supported this legislation as a sensible and realistic approach to controlling health care costs for our state without sacrificing patient care.

SLAMMERS VS. WILD THINGS (PPD., RAIN)

Isom hopes team can put it together soon

By CURT HERRON cherron@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The Joliet Slammers hoped to build on Tuesday’s 11-1 victory over Washington, but heavy storms that rolled through the area forced Wednesday’s middle game of the series to be canceled and moved to Thursday as the opener of a 5 p.m. doubleheader.

With 22 games in the books and Joliet off to a 9-13 start, manager Jeff Isom reflected on what his team needs to improve upon in order to move up in the Frontier League’s West Division standings, where they are in fifth place, 6½ games behind Rockford.

The Slammers skipper hopes Tuesday’s win will lead to more performances like that during an upcoming stretch where his team plays 14 of 20 games at Silver Cross Field.

“The key to yesterday’s game was two-out hitting,” Isom said. “I think that nine of our 11 RBIs were with two outs, and that’s something that we’ve been lacking. Hopefully, guys can relax and do what they’re capable of.

“I know as a pitcher when you give up two-out hits and start giving up runs, it’s tough because you know that you were a pitch away from getting out of it. And from the offensive side, if you can come up with a big

“We had guys trying to hit a six-run home run with one swing of the bat, and I’ve been in this game a long time and haven’t seen that happen yet.”

Jeff Isom Joliet Slammers manager hit that scores a couple of runs, that’s huge.

“They say that hitting is contagious, and I really believe that. So once we got a few of those runs in early in the game, it just snowballed.

It’s one game, but hopefully guys feel comfortable now. We had guys trying to hit a six-run home run with one swing of the bat, and I’ve been in this game a long time and haven’t seen that happen yet.”

While the Slammers rank seventh out of 14 Frontier League teams in batting average (.254), they are 12th in ERA (5.08), and they’ve struggled defensively with too many errors at times.

“We’ve had a big problem with the big inning,” Isom said. “Multiple times this season, we’ve given up three, four or five runs in innings – and when that happens, you usually

have a walk or an error involved. So we have to do a better job defensively, and as of right now, we’re last in the league in defense.

“When you start giving extra runners, it gives more opportunities for the other team. We will be one of the teams that’s at the bottom in defense since we’re one of the few teams that have a natural field. When you’re playing on turf, it’s a little easier as a defender. But I want to use that as advantage, since other teams are used to turf and they lay back on balls.”

While the team hasn’t played yet at the level he’d like to see, Isom still feels good about this group of players and thinks they eventually will turn things around.

“We’re four games under .500, but I really like the club that I’ve got,” Isom said. “We haven’t made a lot of wholesale changes, and I don’t for see us doing that. I feel that we have the right personnel here – it’s just a matter of them working together to have success.

“There’s a lot of guys who do a lot of very good things and guys who have done some things in the past who should get the job done, and I think that they will. We’re seeing guys have better at-bats and throwing the ball better over the last week.

So we’re still very encouraged by what we’ve got.”

CLASS 4A IHSA SOFTBALL FINALS PREVIEW

By CURT HERRON cherron@shawmedia.com

• Thursday, June 11, 2015

After picking up the biggest large-school supersectional victory in more than a decade, it’s understandable that Lincoln-Way East’s softball team would be excited about its chances at this weekend’s IHSA Class 4A finals at EastSide Centre in East Peoria.

The Griffins rolled past Edwardsville, 14-1, in a five-inning game Monday at Illinois State University. The last time anybody won a supersectional in five innings was 2004, when both Sandburg and Barrington pulled off the feat.

With most of the players back from last year’s fourthplace finisher, East (29-4) has a big advantage in state finals experience compared to the other three teams in the field.

Although coach Elizabeth Pawlicki’s players are feeling confident after their big win over a quality Tigers squad, they also realize games will be tight the rest of the way, as they were when the Griffins claimed 2-1 sectional victories over both Lincoln-Way Central and Plainfield Central.

The Griffins are making their fourth state trip, and this is the first time they’ve made consecutive appearances. Their ultimate goal is to try to duplicate the accomplishment of the 2002 squad, which stunned the state by winning a title in the school’s initial season.

A year ago, East dropped a 5-1 semifinal defeat to conference rival Sandburg and then fell, 6-0, to Glenbard North in the third-place game.

This year’s squad also is rather young, with only five seniors on the roster – Blake Ruiz, Alana Selvaggio, Rachel Twohig, Jenny Van Geertry and Nikole Van Gennep. They all were on last year’s state roster, as were juniors Lauren Herlihy, Eleni Kioussis, Lauren Martin, Nicole O’Donnell and Olivia Prieto and sophomores Ami Ill and Julianna Simon.

“I knew that we had potential because we didn’t lose that many starters from last year,”

Lincoln-Way East’s Julianna Simon is mobbed by her teammates after scoring the winning run in the bottom of the seventh inning of a Class 4A Joliet Central Sectional semifinal June 2 against Lincoln-Way Central.

Lincoln-Way East’s Nicole O’Donnell throws out a runner at first base during the first inning of the June 2 Class 4A Joliet Central Sectional semifinal.

Van Gennep said. “We have a really good team, all help each other out in different ways, and we’re really close. I knew from the beginning that we

would do good things this year.

“We’re definitely excited, and we know what to expect for state. So we’re just going to help each other stay up and

keep positive and keep practicing hard.”

East meets Barrington (326) in Friday’s 3 p.m. semifinal, while Marist (34-4) takes on Oak Park River Forest (32-3) in the 5:30 p.m. semifinal game.

The third place and championship games will be at 3 and 5:30 p.m. Saturday.

Barrington has outscored its opponents, 42-6, in the playoffs, including a 5-1 supersectional win over Stevenson, to earn in its second state trip in three years. The Fillies have finished third or better five times since 2004.

Hall of fame coach Perry Peterson, who passed 700 wins for his career and has averaged 30-plus wins during his 23 years at Barrington, has a young team with only three seniors. But one of those is pitcher Keenan Dolezal, the school’s

all-time wins leader with 90.

Barrington never has won a title, finishing second in both 2007 and 2008. The Fillies lost the 2008 title to Lincoln-Way Central, beat East in the 2007 quarterfinals and fell to state champion Lockport in the 2004 semifinals.

Marist earned its first state appearance since winning the title in 2012 after it won, 5-4, over Downers Grove South, handing it only its second loss in 38 games. The Griffins beat the RedHawks, 6-3, on April 14.

And OPRF showed some offensive punch when it scored 10 runs in the sixth inning to claim a 14-7 supersectional win over St. Charles North.

Veteran Huskies coach Mel Kolbusz is bringing his 10th team to state, with the last appearance coming in 2007.

Draft, state tourneys create baseball buzz The annual Major League Baseball first-year player draft is a sports staple in early June.

It falls either on the week of the Class 3A and 4A high school sectionals, or on the week of the state tournaments in those classes.

This year, it’s the latter.

While defending champion Providence is back in the Class 4A Final Four at Silver Cross Field in Joliet for the third time in five years, a half-dozen of our players came out of the draft with an opportunity to begin their professional careers, should they choose to sign.

Illinois junior left-hander Tyler Jay, of course, was the sixth overall pick, going to the Minnesota Twins in Round 1.

If memory serves, Jay is the highest pick from our area since former Joliet Catholic pitcher Bill Gullickson went No. 2 overall to the Montreal Expos in 1977, after the White Sox selected Harold Baines No. 1.

Following Jay this season, Illinois junior lefty Kevin Duchene (JCA) was the next pick from the area. The Illini’s No. 1 starter all season went in the fifth round, the 158th overall selection, to the Oakland A’s. Duchene posted an 11-2 record and a 1.75 ERA. He was 11-0 with a 1.64 ERA in Big Ten games.

For his career, Duchene ranks second in Illinois histo-

VIEWS Dick Goss ry with a 2.11 ERA and is tied for seventh with 24 wins. His 24-4 overall record (.857) is tied with Tanner Roark (Wilmington, 12-2) for the sixth-best career winning percentage at Illinois.

Duchene is the sixth Illini to be drafted by Oakland. The first was former major leaguer Scott Spiezio (Morris) in 1993.

Meanwhile, junior second baseball Josh Altmann (Lockport) enjoyed a huge 2015 season at Olivet Nazarene and was chosen by the Texas Rangers in the 22nd round, the 648th selection. The All-Chicagoland College Athletic Conference first-team pick hit .432 with 15 doubles, two triples, six homers, 36 RBIs and 23 steals in 28 attempts.

He sported a .671 slugging percentage and .535 on-base mark for a 1.206 OPS. The next to go from this area was Northwestern senior right-hander Brandon Magallones (Providence), who was selected by the White Sox in the 24th round.

Magallones did not have a particularly good year from a numbers standpoint – he finished 4-5 with a 5.55 ERA – but he made his final outing a keeper. In his NCAA Division I-leading 16th start, he threw

AP file photo

a two-hit shutout and beat Maryland, one of the Big Ten’s top teams, 1-0. He struck out seven, walked one and needed only 91 pitches to complete the shutout and earn Big Ten Pitcher of the Week honors.

Magallones finished his career with 226 total strikeouts, seventh on Northwestern’s all-time list.

Josh DeGraaf (Morris), a senior right-hander at Taylor University in Indiana, was chosen in the 31st round by the Toronto Blue Jays. He went 8-2 with a 1.80 ERA this season.

JCA catcher Nick Dalesandro heard his name called by the Detroit Tigers in Round 33, the 1,000th overall selection.

He will play college ball at Purdue if he does not sign.

Dalesandro is among the top players in Illinois whom we will not be seeing in action this weekend at Silver Cross Field, as JCA was ousted by Lemont in the Class 3A Lemont Regional final.

However, there will be plenty of talent on display as four of the state’s best in Class 3A and four of the best in Class 4A vie for state championships.

That Providence is among the Class 4A semifinalists comes as no surprise from the standpoint of recent history.

The Celtics were second in 2011 and won the state championship last season.

In each of the last two

seasons, observers have come away from virtually any of the Providence postseason games with a comment similar to, “Isn’t it amazing how the Celtics keep finding ways to win?”

There is nothing fluky about it. The Celtics do find a way to stay alive, which is to their credit. Last season, Providence beat mighty St. Rita for the title. With due respect to Oak Park River Forest and Jacobs, I would not be surprised to see another all Chicago Catholic Blue championship game Saturday evening between Providence and Mount Carmel.

Plaintiff in concussion suit vs. NCAA opposes settlement

By RALPH D. RUSSO The Associated Press The lead plaintiff in a concussion lawsuit against the NCAA opposes a proposed settlement in the case.

In a statement released Tuesday through the National College Players Association, former Eastern Illinois football player Adrian Arrington said the agreement is unacceptable and that he never approved the settlement proposal being considered by U.S. District Judge John Lee in Chicago.

Arrington said the first time

he learned about the deal was through the media.

“I feel that I have been misinformed and the preliminary settlement doesn’t address the reasons I filed the lawsuit in the first place,” Arrington said.

“I would like the judge to reject the preliminary settlement. I plan to secure new legal representation to continue this fight to protect future players in NCAA sports.”

An initial settlement plan was rejected by Lee in December, but has been reworked.

The agreement includes $70 million the NCAA has pledged

to set aside to test current and former athletes for signs of brain injury.

Joseph Siprut, co-lead counsel in the class action suit, said he remains optimistic the court will approve the settlement.

“I’m disappointed that one of the class representatives has decided to withdraw support for our settlement, having apparently adopted some of the misguided and inaccurate views of the settlement expressed in corners of the media and legal filings by other third-parties,” Siprut said in a statement. “Over 20 current

class representative plaintiffs remain wholly supportive of the settlement, which also has the full support of two retired federal judges who helped us structure the deal.”

The National College Players Association is an advocacy group for college athletes led by former UCLA football player Ramogi Huma.

Huma said the settlement does not provide what is needed by former and future athletes because it does not mandate rules to help minimize traumatic brain injury and does not provide players suffer-

ing from brain damage direct financial support.

Even though the NCAA will be shielded from class-action lawsuits in exchange for the medical testing and other provisions of the deal, current and former athletes would still be able to sue their college or the NCAA as individuals. The NCAA-funded test could help give them medical grounds for filing just such suits.

By GREG BEACHAM The Associated Press CHICAGO – Brandon Saad and the Blackhawks finally broke through Tampa Bay’s rookie goalie and then barely hung on to even up the Stanley Cup Final.

Saad scored the tiebreaking goal with 13:38 to play, captain Jonathan Toews scored in the second period, and the Hawks beat the Lightning, 2-1, in Game 4 on Wednesday night, knotting the Final at two games apiece.

Corey Crawford made 24 saves and survived a frantic final minute for the Hawks, who rebounded from consecutive defeats in a gritty, defense-dominated game.

Saad scored the eventual winner by chipping a backhand under Andrei Vasilevskiy, the 20-year-old goalie forced into his first NHL playoff start. He made 17 saves while replacing 53-game winner Ben Bishop, who was scratched with an undisclosed lower-body injury after hobbling through Game 3.

Game 5 is Saturday night in Tampa.

Alex Killorn scored in the second period for the Lightning, whose four-game road winning streak ended.

Vasilevskiy played well enough under extraordinary pressure, but couldn’t quite match Crawford, the 2013 Stanley Cup winner who regularly

follows up poor stretches with big games for the Hawks.

Tampa Bay pummeled Crawford with multiple scoring chances in the final minute with Vasilevskiy pulled for an extra attacker, but the veteran stopped them all – including a point-blank shot by Lightning captain Steven Stamkos.

The series is now a best-ofthree, with the Hawks needing at least one more win at Amalie Arena to secure its third championship in six seasons.

Tampa Bay has home-ice advantage, but a fraction of the Hawks’ big-game credentials.

Despite their differences in experience and age, these teams are incredibly close: This is the first Final since 1968 in which all four games were decided by one goal.

After a tense and scoreless first period, Toews broke open the game with his first goal since Game 7 of the Western Conference Final. Killorn evened it five minutes later off an exceptional behind-the-net pass from Valtteri Filppula.

Saad scored early in the third period with the same determination that has characterized the tough forward’s entire career. He got the puck in the corner off a faceoff and failed to score while skating in front, but controlled the loose puck and whacked a backhand that skittered under Vasilevskiy for his eighth goal of the postseason and second in two games.

STANLEY CUP FINAL – GAME 4: HAWKS 2, LIGHTNING 1

MLB

CUBS 12, TIGERS 3

Cubs use homers to top Tigers

By NOAH TRISTER The Associated Press DETROIT – Chris Coghlan and Miguel Montero each hit a three-run homer, and the Cubs pounded the Detroit Tigers, 123, on Wednesday night.

Jake Arrieta (6-4) shut out the Tigers until Yoenis Cespedes hit a three-run shot of his own in the sixth. The Cubs led, 6-0, before that, and they added six more runs in the seventh.

Shane Greene (4-6) allowed five runs and seven hits in three innings, another poor outing for the right-hander who looked so sharp at the beginning of the season. Greene allowed one earned run over his first three starts for the Tigers. Since then, he’s posted an 8.60 ERA. Arrieta gave up three runs and eight hits in six innings.

He struck out eight and walked one.

The Cubs wasted a leadoff triple by Dexter Fowler in the first. But Addison Russell opened the scoring with an RBI single in the second, and the Cubs added four runs in the third. Coghlan’s eighth homer of the season made it 4-0, and Chris Denorfia added a run-scoring single.

Detroit center fielder Anthony Gose made an error on Denorfia’s single in the fifth, allowing Mike Baxter to score from first to make it 6-0.

The Tigers missed a chance to cut into the lead after they loaded the bases with one out in the fifth. James McCann fouled out to shallow right field, and Jose Iglesias struck out.

Cespedes connected for his ninth homer of the year an inning later.

McCann, Detroit’s catcher, made a terrific diving catch near his team’s dugout when Denorfia popped up a bunt in foul territory in the seventh – but that was the only highlight of that inning for the Tigers.

Fowler drew a bases-loaded walk by Tom Gorzelanny, and Anthony Rizzo followed with a two-run single.

One Joliet Franciscan reflects back on her road to ministry

By DAWN AULET

Sister MaryAnn Jerkofsky, who recently gave the commencement address to the University of St. Francis’ Class of 2015, has led a life that affected scientific research, students in the classroom, the ministry and the elderly.

Shaw Media Correspondent JOLIET – Back in 1969, Sister MaryAnn Jerkofsky graduated from Baylor Medical School in Texas with a doctorate in virology.

She was fascinated with viruses, the way they reproduce and how they function in a body. That fascination led her to seek her degree, but the road back then was not an easy one.

In 1969, not many women sought a doctorate degree, and even fewer entered a male-dominated field of medicine and graduated from Baylor Medical School.

“Most of my career, I have been the only woman,” Jerkofsky said.

But Jerkofsky said as the years wore on, she noticed something that made her happy.

“When I started, it was very difficult to be a woman in a male-dominated profession,” Jerkofsky said. “It isn’t like that anymore.”

Throughout her life, Jerkofsky has followed her calling, even when one calling was completely different from the last. That message of “following your calling” was part of a commencement address she gave to those graduating in May with a master’s degree from University of St. Francis.

In that address, Jerkofsky used a quote that St. Francis reputedly said as he was dying.

“I have done what was mine to do, may Christ teach you what is yours,” Jerkofsky said.

Jerkofsky said she combined that with the Sisters of St. Francis Immaculate’s foundress’s approach to service – to look for the greatest need, the one in front of you.

Both Jerkofsky and Sister Dolores Zemont, president of the congregation of the Sisters of St. Francis, gave the com-

Eric Ginnard – eginnard@ shawmedia.com

mencement addresses at USF this year, to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the Sisters of St. Francis Immaculate.

In a USF news release, USF President Arvid Johnson, who presented the sisters with the President’s Medal in honor of the congregation’s 150th anniversary, said the Joliet Franciscans’ contributions to service and leadership are immeasurable.

“As a big part of our Joliet Franciscans legacy, the USF community’s gratitude fill our heart with love for our sisters,” Johnson said in the news release. “We are privileged to recognize them and be part of their family and ministry during this 150th anniversary year ... and every year.”

Moved by spirit of St. Francis The inspiration of St. Francis is a theme in Jerkofsky’s life because, 20 years ago, when she was 52, she entered the convent.

“When I was young, I didn’t even think of becoming a nun. I was very, very interested in science and research,” Jerkofsky said. “I always thought there was that one side, that spiritual side, that I wasn’t using.”

Initially, Jerkofsky said she even considered the Peace Corps.

“I wanted to work on more interaction with people, and I have a basic science background. I was actually thinking of becoming a physician’s assistant,” Jerkofsky said.

“That’s actually one of the reasons I decided, later on, to become a chaplain.”

She spent time serving in Haiti in 1988 and 1990 and in Tokyo in 1992. It was her experience in Haiti that led her to hear the calling to become a nun.

“The culture is very different, and it does something to you,” Jerkofsky said. “Haiti is the most poverty-stricken country in the Western Hemi-

sphere.”

She said Haiti is home to 7 million people in a land area about half the size of Maine.

She was struck that, despite severe poverty, the people had a zeal for learning.

“Many of them had no light – no electricity – and they would sit under street lamps and study,” Jerkofsky said.

Jerkofsky was so struck by her experience in 1988 that she returned in 1990.

“The second time, the country was about to undergo a revolution,” she said. “They gave me gifts when I left. They had nothing, and they gave me something. The juxtaposition of that – blinding poverty, but happy people. It just hits you in your psyche.”

To Joliet – and ministry

Eventually, Jerkofsky felt called to come to Joliet, where she entered the Sisters of St. Francis of Mary Immaculate.

In 1998, she took her first vows.

For three years, she taught in

the biology department.

As time went on, Jerkofsky became a novice in the congregation and then an apostolic, the period when a nun learns her ministry.

Jerkofsky became a chaplain and did a residency at a Level 1 trauma center and then worked at a nursing and rehabilitation center.

“I kind of wanted to stay in a hospital setting, but there just wasn’t any jobs,” Jerkofsky said From 2005 to 2009, Jerkofsky served as Our Lady of Angels’ first director of pastoral care. For the past two years, she has worked in the admissions department at OLA. She gave up teaching last year because she could not do both jobs, she said.

But Jerkofsky plans to continue her work at OLA until it becomes too much for her, she said.

“I am only doing four days a week,” Jerkofsky said, “so I have shut down a little bit.”

PUZZLES CROSSWORD

SUDOKU

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

A play that is very tough to make

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Thomas Fuller, an English scholar and preacher who died in 1661, said, “All things are difficult before they are easy.”

The key play in today’s deal is very difficult to find, and even after seeing it once, many players would miss it the next time it flew by, a decade or three later!

South is in five hearts. What should he do after West leads the spade king?

The auction went badly for North.

He had hoped to be able to respond two diamonds and to rebid four hearts to describe his hand. But East made a Law of Total Tricks raise to four spades – in a competitive auction, bid to the 10-trick level with a 10-card fit. North considered doubling that, but eventually plowed on to five hearts. (Note that four spades can be made.)

Suppose South wins the first trick with dummy’s spade ace, draws trumps ending in his hand, and runs his diamond queen. What happens next?

Here, East takes the trick and, if in midseason form, shifts to the club 10.

Then the defenders take one diamond and two clubs to defeat the contract.

Declarer must establish dummy’s diamond suit without letting East on lead for that nasty club switch. South must let West take the first trick.

Suppose West leads another spade. Declarer discards a diamond from his hand, plays a heart to his ace, leads the diamond queen to dummy’s ace, ruffs a diamond high, plays a heart to dummy’s jack, ruffs another diamond, leads a heart to the king, and cashes dummy’s three diamond winners.

TODAY – Comparing yourself to others is a waste of time and energy. You have abilities, ideas and talents that you need to develop and master.

Highlight what you do have to offer and others will take note. Self-confidence comes from doing what you do best.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – You will face an unpleasant consequence if people feel that you have been misleading. Before you convince others to join your mission, check your facts and leave no room for error.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Think before you speak. Your heightened emotions will cause you to overreact.

There is no need to be defensive if no one is threatening you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Your charming ways and humorous mood will have people flocking to your side. Accept as many social invitations as you can handle. A change of fortune is imminent.

• PREVENTIVE MEDICATIONS. Several types of medications are used to reduce the frequency of migraine headaches. These include beta blockers, tricyclic antidepressants, calcium-channel blockers and anticonvulsants.

There are some studies that suggest taking lowdose aspirin every day may reduce the frequency of migraines. I suffered from migraines in my 30s, and daily low-dose aspirin has eliminated them nearly completely.

On my website, askdoctork.com, I’ve put a table listing examples of each type of drug that has been well studied. These medications must be taken every day to be effective.

• BOTOX INJECTIONS. If you experience more than 14 migraines a month, botulinum toxin (Botox) injections may help reduce their number.

• NEW APPROACHES. One of the most anticipated new treatments (still in clinical trials) involves biological compounds that target CGRP, a chemical in the body that inflames nerve endings. It is also a strong blood vessel dilator.

As blood vessels widen in response to CGRP, they press on nerves that trigger pain. It’s a vicious cycle: When activated, the nerves release more CGRP into the bloodstream. Blood levels of CGRP rise during migraine attacks and decline as headaches subside. The new treatments are designed to prevent migraines by deactivating CGRP for stretches of time.

As someone who has experienced migraines, I hope one or more of these approaches will offer relief from your pain.

purchase, you should do a realistic assessment of your financial status.

Consult a banking or investment adviser, if necessary, in order to clarify your position.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – You may be overwhelmed by the demands being put on you. Don’t spread yourself too thin. It’s perfectly fine to say no. Take care of your needs first and don’t feel guilty.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Surround yourself with positive, upbeat people.

Good moods are contagious, and you will feel your stress falling away once you loosen up. An intriguing partnership is on the horizon.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Be self-aware. If your instincts tell you something is not right, listen to them.

Scam artists are very convincing, and if you fall for a sales pitch, you will have regrets.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – You will alienate the people you live with if you try to force your opinions on them. Take a step back and let

matters settle down before you spoil a close relationship.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Love, harmony and romance are highlighted. Plan an intimate liaison with a special someone, or get out and meet someone new if you are single.

Communication will lead to affection and commitment.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Introduce yourself to the person you have been admiring from a distance. You are likely to find a lot of common ground once you compare notes. A long-lasting partnership is apparent.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – You are likely to feel confined and to be easily upset if you stay indoors today. Use your energy to complete outdoor chores or to engage in some physical activity.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – A recent quarrel with someone will stress you out. Open up the lines of communication, declare your feelings and admit your shortcomings. Clear your conscience and ease your mind.

Dear Doctor K: I suffer from excruciating migraine headaches. What can I do to prevent them?

Dear Reader: Migraines are severe, throbbing, often debilitating headaches.

They can be accompanied by nausea or vomiting. It’s no wonder that anyone who suffers from migraines would do anything to avoid them.

Migraines can be triggered by certain activities, foods, smells or emotions.

Common migraine triggers include: • Caffeine (either too much or cutting back on regular use).

• Certain foods and beverages. These include foods and drinks that contain tyramine (aged cheeses and meats, fermented beverages), sulfites (preserved foods, wines) and monosodium glutamate (MSG), a common flavor enhancer.

• Stress.

• The opposite: relaxing after a stressful day or week. Many people get their migraines most often on the weekends.

• Hormone levels (menstrual cycles, medications such as birth control pills that contain hormones).

• Lack of sleep.

• Changes in weather or altitude.

• Overuse of pain-relieving medications.

If you can identify a trigger, try to avoid it.

Some people also find that alternative treatments help.

These include biofeedback, yoga, acupuncture and massage.

But some people get frequent and severe migraines no matter how well they avoid triggers. If your migraine attacks are severe, do not respond to treatment or occur more than four times a month, look into the following preventive treatments: • TRANSCUTANEOUS ELECTRICAL NERVE STIMULATION (TENS).

The FDA approved the first TENS device for migraine prevention in 2014. Placed on the forehead, it applies an electrical current that stimulates nerves in the brain that process pain.

Dear Abby: Two years ago, I came out as male-to-female transgender. My wife has come around since then, and our second child will be born before I start my transition.

She has decided to stay with me, but occasionally she tells me she isn’t sure if she can be married to a woman.

On the other hand, she says she doesn’t want to have to share custody of our children.

I have urged her to talk to a therapist, because she gets a few free sessions from her job. Because she doesn’t like people knowing about her problems, she steadfastly refuses. I’m not sure what else to do. I won’t make her stay if she can’t handle it, but I refuse to tell her I’ll give her full custody. – Living My

cause all of the bachelorettes will be out of town and you prefer not to attend the “main event,” level with the bride about your feelings, give her your regrets, wish her well and stay home.

Dear Abby: I’m a 73-yearold man. Over the years I have sometimes cried over sad, heartwarming stories in books or on TV, especially those involving children.

I have also lost several loved ones, and although I was as sad about these losses as anyone else, I was never able to shed tears over it.

Why do I cry over things that don’t pertain to me or anybody in my life, but can’t when someone I love passes away? Is something wrong with me? – Tearless In

Wichita Dear Tearless: Tears can

be cathartic, but people react to death in different ways.

Not everyone can cry on cue, even if it would be a relief to be able to. Sometimes there’s just a deep “ache,” like lead in one’s chest. In your case, it may be less painful or threatening to cry over a sad movie than a funeral. When tears finally come (usually over something less significant), they can be more copious than one would expect because they have been bottled up.

prefers, out of concern for her privacy, not to talk to a therapist who’s connected with her job, that is her choice.

But that does not mean she shouldn’t get counseling elsewhere to help her make rational decisions about her future. A support group that could also be helpful to her is the Straight Spouse Network (straightspouse.org), which has been mentioned before in my column.

As for you, my friend, you should consult a lawyer who specializes in family law and gender issues. Lambda Legal (lambdalegal.org) should be able to refer you. With help, you should be able to work out a fair and reasonable custody arrangement, should it become necessary.

Dear Abby: I’m attending a close friend’s bachelorette party and have confirmed that having it in an adult club is “a priority” for her. I’m uncomfortable with the idea of entering such an establishment because it goes against my personal beliefs. We are all staying with friends, so I
