roads funds, other existing revenue Board member Singer: ‘Not convinced’ residents want new courthouse over critical road projects By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Will County officials will pull from cash reserves and road funds – instead of borrowing – for the construction of the sheriff’s facility and other smaller projects under a new funding plan proposed during Thursday’s Will County Board Committee of the Whole meeting. But the county would issue staggered bonds worth as much as $275 million during 30 years to pay for a new courthouse – estimated between $150 million to $175 million – and a new health department building. Instead of taking out a line of credit, the county would use about $12 million in cash reserves for courthouse design plans, $15 million to $25 million for a new sheriff’s facility and regional dispatch center, and another $25 million in road funds for the Interstate 55/Weber Road project. The financial plan was well-received Thursday, but County Board member

Ray Tuminello, R-New Lenox, cautioned about the likelihood of rising federal interest rates. If that happens, he said, Will County should capture more bond dollars early on while the market is favorable. The county plans to pull annually $1.5 million in courthouse fees, $300,000 from parking lot fees, $1 million from landfill fees, $2 million from Public Building Commission sales tax revenue and federal rebate dollars, Finance Director Karen Hennessy said. Bonds for the new Adult Detention Facility will fully mature in 2028, releasing about $4.7 million in sales tax dollars. Once a new courthouse is built, the county’s public defender office can move from its current location, freeing up $240,000 in annual rent. The city of Joliet also has agreed to chip in $500,000 annually. Thursday’s discussion lacked the lively debates from previous meetings over how to pay for projects without raising taxes or dipping into the roads fund.

‘Not the time’

County Board member Cory Singer, R-Frankfort, was unable to attend the meeting, but said Thursday he believes the county will one day regret spending this much on a new courthouse. Singer cited Illinois’ financial instability, rising employee health care costs

Romeoville man dies in Lockport Twp. shooting By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com LOCKPORT TOWNSHIP – A 22-year-old Romeoville man was shot to death Wednesday night. Dylan J. Somma was pronounced dead at 11:44 p.m. in the emergency room at Silver Cross Hospital in New Lenox, according to the Will County Coroner’s Office. Will County sheriff’s spokeswoman Kathy Hoffmey-

and too many critical road projects to count. “Now is not the time to be diving into hundreds of millions of dollars in capital projects,” Singer said. “I think it’s a fair assumption that the state is not going to have the money to make good on previous commitments, and we’ll be faced with financial burden.” The County Board is expected to vote next week on a resolution declaring intent to issue up to $275 million in bonds for capital projects. Singer said he believes the county in years to come will have to sacrifice road projects and other key government services as pressure points build in the operating budget. “I’m not convinced that the people of this county would prefer to have a new courthouse over road projects that could improve the daily life and life safety for residents,” Singer said. “Eventually, they’re going to have to make a choice where they just don’t do something or you raise taxes.” Will County Executive Larry Walsh Sr. said his office and Republican leaders spent many hours to reach an agreement. Paying cash for the sheriff’s facility will save the county about $10 million in interest alone, he said. He said he understands Singer’s concerns but that pushing off these capital projects much longer would be detrimental to the county’s future.

Hoffmeyer said deputies located several witnesses and believe “Somma was in the area to purchase drugs when an altercation took place.” According to police reports, Somma suffered one gunshot to the chest. An autopsy was scheduled for Thursday. Since 2011, Somma has been arrested on charges of aggravated battery, burglary, identity theft and vandalism, according to Will County jail records.

On Feb. 13, 2014, police surrounded Somma’s Romeoville neighborhood when 15-year-old Briana Valle was shot to death in her driveway in the 300 block of Emery Avenue. Somma was stopped from fleeing by police and briefly considered a suspect but explained he ran because he was aware of an outstanding warrant for his arrest. Valle’s former boyfriend, Erick Maya, was found hiding in a nearby yard and later was convicted of her murder.

Franklin leaves GM job with Slammers for Cubs’ affiliate By BOB OKON bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Joliet Slammers general manager Chris Franklin has left the team to join the Chicago Cubs’ Double-A affiliate in Tennessee. Franklin is the second top executive to leave the minor league baseball team since the end of the 2015 season. It is not clear whether he will be replaced. Former CEO Josh Schaub left in September, saying he was pursuing opportunities in Major League Baseball that would preclude him from owning Chris shares in the Franklin Slammers. Schaub sold his shares to majority owner Nick Semaca, who said the departures of Schaub and Franklin are a coincidence created by opportunities to get closer to Major League Baseball. “Chris got a great job,” Semaca said. “Everybody, just like our ballplayers, wants to get into affiliated ball. He got that opportunity. Everybody is happy for him, especially Cub fans.” The Smokies play in Kodak, which is outside of Knoxville. The team is part of the Cubs’ farm system used to develop players for the major leagues. The Slammers are an independent baseball team, meaning they are not affiliated with any major league franchise. Franklin, now director of corporate sales for the Smokies, said Thursday that the job is “a great opportunity” to join a team affiliated with the major leagues. “It’s something I want-

ed to do for a long time,” Franklin said. He described his experience in Joliet as a “great time. I think we did a lot of things in the four years I was there. I think we have a great staff that can continue the progress that we started.” Franklin grew up in Morris. Before coming to the Slammers, he was general manager with the River City Rascals in O’Fallon, Missouri, a team that is in the same Frontier League as the Slammers. He also previously worked a year with the JackHammers, the team that preceded the Slammers in Joliet. His last day with the Slammers was Dec. 31. Franklin started the new job this week. The Slammers are advertising for a general manager. But Semaca said whether he hires someone for the position depends on the candidates. “We’re looking for a new general manager, but I have a real high bar,” he said. “If we find someone who is complementary, great. But I’ve been around the block enough to know that putting someone in a box if that person doesn’t fit could be worse than not filling the position.” Semaca took over chief executive duties when Schaub left. He said the Slammers staff “is stepping up and doing a great job” and that the departures of Schaub and Franklin do not reflect problems in the organization. “We’re feeling pretty good where we’re standing right now for the coming season,” Semaca said. “No one should look at this and say, ‘What the heck is going on?’ ”

Mine workers honor roll of WW II veterans found By HEIDI LITCHFIELD hlitchfield@shawmedia.com COAL CITY – A historical document was found on the second floor of the Coal City police station as the department prepared to remodel an old meeting room into an evidence room. “History is all around us, but sometimes it hides in a closet,” Charlie Brown, commander of Coal City VFW St. Juvin Post 1336, said in an email. The email was referring to a document found by police officer Kevin Jones. The long-forgotten framed document is an “honor roll” with hand-lettered names of 40 members of the United Mine Workers Local 1147 who served during World War II. Where the current police station is located once sat the village hall, fire station, library, jail and meeting room that was used by various local organizations, including the mine workers union, according to Brown. Jones and Coal City Police Chief Tom Best saved the document – still in its handmade frame, glass missing and names fading – and, along with the Village Board, gave it to the St. Juvin Post. The post

On the Honor Roll The names on the mine workers union honor roll, according to Brown, are: Elwyn Trotter, Kenneth Barnett, Peter Quinzio, Clarence Philips, David Wharrie, John Kilpatrick, Ray James Whyde, James Gomora, Jerry Sullivan, Anton Chekystis, Fred Singleton, William Kilpatrick, Ernie Wight, Clemer Corn, Fred Corn, John L. Houck, Joseph Doglio, Robert Peterson, Lyle Robertson, William H. Smith, Raymond Tryner, Amelio Gianu, Donald Zandigiacomo, Montelle Mahoney, Lawrence Crichton, John Crichton, George Jirina, Robert Weidling, James K. Ryan, Joseph Vercelli, Homer Brown, Donald Vacca, William Endrst, Jesse Fields, Bernard Davenport, James Kral, Stephen Dybolski, Edward Jiskra, Louis Callegaro and Mario Pomatto. is organizing a fundraising effort to restore and preserve the honor roll. Brown took the document to the Coal City Public Library and showed it to reference department head librarian Irene Shepkowski, who, along with staff, started researching the names on it. “Charlie and I started talking about how to identify the names on the document, so

we started with the 1940s census,” she said. It took some sleuthing by the staff, however. One of the men shortened his name between the creation of the document and his death, and it took going through old obituaries to see when the name was shortened and find the man behind it. Other names were more easily identified, such as that of Bob Weidling, known by many as “Mayor Bob,” who was the mayor of Wilmington for at least 20 years. “A lot of people don’t realize their family member is listed on this document, and they should know,” Brown said. They still are trying to identify two of the 40 names listed: Lyle Robertson, whom they haven’t found any local information on; and William H. Smith, whom they think they might have found, but about whom they need more information to be sure. The United Mine Workers of America has donated $200 toward the restoration, which is expected to cost between $1,250 and $1,875. The St. Juvin Post has committed to paying for the matting and framing, so it can be hung at the Coal City library.

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Forest Preserve District of Will County staff and board commissioners bid farewell Thursday to Marcy DeMauro, the longtime district executive director, who is retiring at the end of this month. M a n y t h a n k e d DeMauro, whose last day is Jan. 29, for staying p a s s i o n a t e Marcy t h r o u g h o u t DeMauro her 30-year career with the district, where she began in the 1980s as an intern. Thursday’s meeting marked her last as the district’s executive director. She is among the employees taking advantage of an early retirement program approved by the district in 2014 in the face of a $400,000 budget deficit. Jim Moustis, board treasurer for the district, said DeMauro’s dedication to preserving the county’s natural landscape and endangered species should be noted. “I’ve never seen the passion for the work you’ve done and what you’re doing in Will County ever waver. That made you unique in my eyes,” Moustis said.

Jim Moustis Will County Forest Preserve District treasurer Since she began with the district, DeMauro has watched its public lands grow from 6,000 to nearly 22,000 acres. For the past seven years, she led the district as executive director. Before that, she served as the district’s director of planning and operations. Moustis said DeMauro helped people unfamiliar with the work and effort that go into preserving landscapes understand why such things matter. “When someone is passionate, you look and [say] ... ‘They’re bugs! It’s weeds. It’s trees. It’s some lizard. Who cares? It’s a turtle.’ But it makes a person like me say, ‘Well, maybe there’s more to this’ ... and you understand why it’s important to the

community and why it’s so important for preserves for generations to come,” Moustis said. “People like you make a difference.” As part of a major staff restructuring, John Gerl, the district’s former finance director, and Ralph Schultz, the district’s former planning and operations director, will now take the reins. Over the past year, Gerl and Schultz have worked closely with DeMauro as the two transitioned into their new roles as chief financial officer and chief operating officer.

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – Pace bus riders who park in Plainfield can breathe a sigh of relief after the transportation company’s board voted on an agreement to add more parking at a local diner across the street. The Pace board approved an agreement Wednesday afternoon with Larry’s Diner, 24522 W. Lockport St., to use 75 parking spaces at the restaurant for passenger parking, Pace spokesman Patrick Wilmot said. The agreement starts in February and runs for two years, with two renewal options of two years each, Wilmot said. Pace will pay the property owner a weekly cost of $375 comprised of a $1 fee per space, per day, for 75 spaces. Pace also will pay for signage at the parking lot and for snow removal on the desig-

nated parking spaces. The restaurant will install new lighting in the parking lot and pay for utilities. “It will be used as a parkand-ride lot,” Wilmot said, noting that buses still will stop at the main park-andride location next to Village Hall, but will make an additional stop at the diner coming from and to the main location. The agreement is a temporary fix to the problem, Mayor Michael Collins said when he notified residents Wednesday morning at the monthly Coffee with the Mayor community meeting. “It might keep some of the people from parking down Van Dyke and Ottawa Street,” Collins said, noting that ridership at the Plainfield stop grew from 332 passenger trips a day in September 2011 to 1,740 trips a day last year. Pace routes 755 and 855 operate out of the stop.

Students will play commissioned piece after grand opening of new center By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com

Members of the Joliet Township High School Orchestras rehearse Aug. 24 at Joliet West High School in Joliet. The orchestras will perform a specially commissioned piece Jan. 27

next thing I know, I’m emailing the publisher, and the composers are emailing me back,” Lipari said. “Stone and Steel” was unveiled to students and parents in August, when they were celebrating the orchestras’ 110th anniversary. The piece will be played at 7 p.m. at the Winter Concert at the Joliet Central High School auditorium. The concert will follow the grand opening of the student center at Joliet Central. Admission is free, but do-

nations will be accepted at the door. “Stone and Steel” is a musical representation of the history of Joliet, according to the release. The piece begins with a heavy, ponderous theme that depicts the limestone quarries that first earned Joliet the nickname “City of Stone” in the early 1800s. “[Meyer has] done a great job of depicting that sort of

heavy, laborious kind of feeling in the beginning,” Lipari said. The next section is more fun, lively and optimistic, he said. Meyer said in the release the mood in the piece changes, and the audience can visualize huge barges loaded with stone making their way through the city’s large lift bridges and into the famous I&M Canal.

With the construction of the steel mill in 1869, Joliet became known as the “City of Steel.” Stone and steel were shipped by both canal and railroad, and this is represented by a “modern, fast-moving theme in a bright major key,” according to the release. Lipari said the students have been practicing the piece. “It’s ready to go, and the kids really like it,” he said.

JOLIET – The Joliet Township High School Orchestras will play their own commissioned piece on the same day a new student center is scheduled to open. On Jan. 27, the orchestras will perform “Stone and Steel” created by renowned composer Richard Meyer from California. The piece is one of two that were commissioned to celebrate the 110th anniversary of the orchestras. The piece has been in the works since October 2014, when Peter Lipari, Joliet Township director of orchestras, presented the idea to the Orchestra Parents Association, according to a school district news release. He was able to cover the cost of the piece through a variety of grants. “It was nothing more than a dream right out of the sky; and

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com PEOTONE – A highway pursuit of a murder suspect ended with his suicide Thursday in Will County, authorities said. The Kankakee Daily Journal reported that Sergi Ramirez-Abeja, 43, of Summit, shot and killed his ex-wife’s husband, Santiago Garcia-Mendoza, Thursday afternoon outside Gar-

cia-Mendoza’s home in Bridgeview. State police said Bridgeview police requested assistance to pursue a 2003 Ford Explorer that traveled south on Interstate 57 through Will County into Kankakee County. According to police radio calls, Ramirez-Abeja’s Explorer turned around in Bradley and returned north on I-57. About 2:45 p.m., police forced the SUV to crash into

a barrier in the center median near milepost 329 north of the Peotone exit, where Ramirez-Abeja reportedly shot and killed himself. State police said northbound lanes were closed for about three hours Thursday afternoon. Will County Coroner Patrick K. O’Neil said the body was being brought to the morgue about 6:30 p.m. and an autopsy would be performed Friday.

Weigh-ins start Monday for ‘Lose a Ton’ in Joliet By BOB OKON JOLIET – You can help lose a collective 2,000 pounds of weight – a ton. Weigh-ins for the Joliet Park District’s annual “Lose a Ton” challenge are Monday and Tuesday. Last year, 667 people participated in the collective weight-loss challenge, which lasts six weeks. Those who want to participate can weigh in anytime between 5 a.m. and 8 p.m. Monday or Tuesday at the Presence Inwood Athletic Club, 3000 W. Jefferson St. “They just need to show up at the Presence Inwood Athletic Club,” said Carrie Anderson,

PLAINFIELD TOWNSHIP – About 200 homes in the Crystal Lawns Addition subdivision lost water when a main broke Thursday morning. Water was back on at 5 p.m., but a boil order has been issued for the next three days, according to Don Jackson, vice president of the Crystal Lawns Addition Improvement Association. “They’re still working on it, but water is back on,” Jackson said about 5:30 p.m. “We’re almost up to maximum pressure.”

The main broke about 10:30 a.m. on Williardshire Road near Satellite Drive, officials said. Street representatives in the association began delivering notices of the boil order door-to-door Thursday afternoon. The Crystal Lawns Addition subdivision is on the west side of Essington Road near the Louis Joliet Mall. It is in an unincorporated area of Plainfield Township. City of Joliet work crews fixed a broken water main Tuesday just outside the Crystal Lawns Addition subdivision on Essington Road, which is in Joliet.

park district membership coordinator. “We’ll be in the lobby, so we’ll be hard to miss.” Participants don’t have to be a club member or work out at the club. All they have to do is try to lose weight and come back after six weeks to show the results. The park district will offer a $49 six-week membership for anyone who wants to use the athletic club during the course of “Lose a Ton.” This is the third year of the park district’s program, which fell only 7 pounds short of its goal last year. The park district is determined to top 2,000 pounds this year, Anderson said. “Our desire is not just to have everybody weigh in but

to have everybody weigh out,” Anderson said. Not everyone wants to weigh out if they do not meet their weight-loss goals, she said. But for the campaign, every pound counts – even less than a pound. “Even if you lost a half a pound, those half a pounds add up,” she said. As incentives, the park district is offering two $500 cash prizes for the two who lose the highest percentage of weight – one man and one woman. “Lose a Ton” was started as a park district program aimed at combating obesity, Anderson said. “Two thousand pounds in one community in six weeks is a lot of weight,” she said.

Hard to find someone who will fight Joseph • BOXER

Continued from page 3 Joliet, which he now considers home. His boxing gym is housed at the Chicago Sports and Fitness Center on Black Road. “Joseph keeps me focused. Nowadays, parents don’t have time for their kids. But we bond,” Awinongya said. “He gives me energy.” A natural athlete, Joseph said he does “100 push-ups every day” and attends tumbling and dance class to build strength and flexibility. He also loves running. Joseph originally had a match set for Friday in Libertyville, but his opponent backed out once he realized whom he was fighting, Awinongya said. “It’s difficult to find someone to fight him now,” Awinongya said. Joseph’s mother, Valerie Ayertey, and father don’t always see eye to eye about the time he spends training, but it’s fair game as long as he maintains straight A’s at Farragut Elementary School, Ayertey said. “Despite all his training, he never wants to miss a day at school,” Ayertey said. “He loves school.”

White and several other elected officials even stopped by during a recent training session to congratulate Joseph on his big win. The soft-spoken Joseph isn’t used to all this attention, but he doesn’t mind, he said. As an aspiring boxer with fewer than a dozen matches under his belt, it’s difficult for Joseph not to idolize his own father. But will he ever be as good as him? “Better. I’m going to be better,” he said, smiling up at his father. “I know he’s good, and he’s training me. So I will be better.”

Chicago-area Dems back challenger over incumbent prosecutor

CHICAGO – The re-election campaign of Chicago’s top prosecutor took a hit Thursday when the local leaders of her Democratic Party gave their backing to a challenger who has sharply criticized her handling of cases of alleged police misconduct. Cook County State’s Attorney Anita Alvarez, who is seeking a third term, and Mayor Rahm Emanuel have faced calls to resign since the release in November of police dashcam video showing a white officer shooting a black teenager 16 times. Alvarez’s office charged officer Jason Van Dyke with first-degree murder in the killing of 17-yearold Laquan McDonald, but did so more than a year after it happened and only hours before the city complied with a court order to release the video. Activists, community groups and even fellow Democrats have blasted her office for waiting so long to bring charges, alleging there was a cover-up. Alvarez has been on the defensive, saying such investigations take time. She skipped Thursday’s candidate slating, saying party leaders haven’t favored her before and weren’t going to pick her. She held her own news conference surrounded by crime victims – some linked to high-profile cases – who praised her leadership. “It doesn’t have anything to do with party endorsements or political agendas,” Alvarez said of seeking another term. “It is because I have devoted my career to serving victims of crime.” After deliberating less than 30 minutes in closed-door session, party officials chose challenger Kim Foxx, a former chief of staff to the county board president.

Cook County State’s Attorney Anita Alvarez talks to reporters in November in Chicago.

Kim Foxx, a candidate for Cook County state’s attorney, speaks at a news conference Dec. 2 in Chicago.

The decision came after committeemen said they’d stay neutral in the March primary. Some directly attributed the pivot to the growing discord over the McDonald case and other issues, but others have alleged political motivations.

Rauner spokeswoman Catherine Kelly says the letter is full of “falsehoods” and that AFSCME needs to “seriously bargain” or more talks are useless. AFSCME spokesman Anders Lindall says the union stands by the letter’s description of events and wants Rauner’s “commitment to compromise.” The last contract expired June 30.

Aides: OT policy will hurt in-home care for disabled

SPRINGFIELD – Disabled Illinois residents who depend on inhome help for daily needs will suffer once the state stops paying overtime for their caregivers beginning March 1, some home health care workers and their union say. Tens of thousands of employees who help people with disabilities live independently are eligible for time-and-a-half pay over 40 hours in a week, under a federal rule that took effect Jan. 1. But without a state budget in place to control spending, Gov. Bruce Rauner’s administration says it can’t afford the extra pay. A state Department of Human Services memo obtained by The Associated Press indicates the policy will allow 35 hours of work and five hours of travel. The workers, who make about $13 an hour, and their supporters say that 30,000 clients who need assistance because of physical or developmental dis-

abilities will receive less-efficient and less-effective care because most need more than 40 hours of weekly assistance. Families will have to find other aides to help, meaning disruption and for some clients, discomfort with a new person. “This is a devastating impact on families,” said James Muhammad, spokesman for SEIU Healthcare Illinois, which represents 25,000 home care workers. “Families now have to find other people to come into their homes.”

AFSCME to Rauner: Say if contract talks are stalled

SPRINGFIELD – The state’s largest public employee union has asked Gov. Bruce Rauner’s administration to flatly state whether contract talks are at a legal standstill. A letter obtained by The Associated Press on Thursday from the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees claims that at a session last Friday, the union made concessions on wages and health care, but Rauner’s team declared the year-old talks at impasse. Administration officials later denied they had mentioned impasse but no further talks are set.

Trial set for former prosecutor in killing of his wife

QUINCY – The trial for a former Adams County prosecutor accused of killing his wife is set to start later this month. Curtis Lovelace, 47, was charged with first-degree murder in August 2014 for the suffocation death of his wife, 38-year-old Cory Lovelace, eight years earlier. The former University of Illinois football standout has pleaded not guilty. Prosecutors and Curtis Lovelace’s defense team say they’re ready to start the trial Jan. 25. The trial has been delayed multiple times. Judge Bob Hardwick ruled Wednesday that prosecutors won’t be able to call Curtis Lovelace’s second wife, Erica Gomez-Steinkamp, as a witness during trial, the Quincy Herald-Whig reported. The two

married in 2008 in Puerto Rico and later divorced. “The prejudicial effect of her testimony has nothing to do with the issue here,” Hardwick said. Hardwick also ruled against a request from Curtis Lovelace’s defense team to have potential jurors interviewed individually. Instead, Hardwick said he would call four potential jurors at a time. He said he usually calls jury pools in groups of 24 to 27, but that he would change this process because of publicity surrounding the trial.

Man freed after decade-old drug charges dismissed

CHICAGO – A man who spent nearly a decade in prison on a drug conviction has been freed after prosecutors in Chicago vacated the charges against him. Cook County State’s Attorney Anita Alvarez’s office on Thursday said the charges against 43-year-old Ben Baker of Chicago were dismissed because the primary witness in the case, former Chicago police Sgt. Ronald Watts, was convicted in 2013 of extorting protection payoffs from drug dealers. Baker walked out of Robinson Correctional Center late Thursday.

They can let their winnings be invested and thereby collect 30 annual payments totaling an estimated $533 million, or take their third of $983.5 million in cash all at once. Getting such a windfall is the start of a “new journey” and the winners should be prepared with lawyers, accountants and financial planners before they come forward, California Lottery spokesman Russ Lopez said.

Newspapers carried bold front-page headlines declaring the country was united in condemnation of the attack, which was the first in Indonesia since 2009. Depok area police chief Col. Dwiyono told MetroTV that the three men were arrested at dawn at their homes in Depok on the outskirts of Jakarta. Dwiyono, who goes by one name, says the men are suspected militants and are being questioned over possible links to the attack Thursday.

NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C. – Republican presidential candidates Donald Trump and Ted Cruz clashed Thursday night over the Texas senator’s eligibility to serve as commander in chief and the businessman’s “New York values,” ending months of civility between fiery contenders seeking to tap into voter anger and frustration. Two hours of prime-time argument presented voters with a sharp contrast to the optimistic vision of America that President Barack Obama painted in his State of the Union address earlier this week. The candidates warned of dire risks to national security and challenged claims of recent economic gains for the middle class. The heated exchanges between Trump and Cruz dominated much of the contest, with the real estate mogul saying the senator has a “big question mark” hanging over his candidacy given his birth in Canada to an American mother. “You can’t do that to the party,” Trump declared. Cruz suggested Trump was only turning on him because he’s challenging Trump’s lead, particularly in Iowa, which kicks off voting on Feb. 1. The senator was also on the defensive about his failure to disclose on federal election forms some $1 million in loans from Wall Street banks during his 2012 Senate campaign, saying it was little more than a “paperwork error.”

Reforms will help children reach their full potential Early childhood education is essential to student development and future success – and new reforms I fought to pass will bring Pre-K to more Illinois students and help Joliet build on its success with Pre-K programs. Research has shown students who participate in Pre-K programs see greater improvement in early language, literacy and math development. They are less likely to repeat grades, need special education, or commit a crime in their adulthood. However, outdated federal education policies prevented local school districts from coordinating with early childhood education programs – like Head Start – or using federal dollars for Pre-K. To fix this problem, I championed key reforms and funding in the bipartisan education overhaul known as the Every Student Succeeds Act that was just signed into law. Now local school districts will be able to work with programs like Head Start, where 60 percent of 4-year-olds in our state already are enrolled, to make Pre-K more accessible and more effective. School districts will be able to compete for increased Pre-K grants to expand, improve and coordinate with existing programs or start new ones, especially for low- and middle-income families. These grants will come from the Department of Health and Human Services, meaning they won’t take away from any existing K-12 programs. Enhanced coordination between local schools and these programs, as well as additional funding, would support high-quality early learning for more children living with disabilities. Catholic Charities Early Childhood Services program in Joliet helps students with disabilities transition successfully into the Joliet School District. With additional funds, Catholic Charities and other early education programs would be able to provide this service for more children who need special education services.

GUEST VIEW Sen. Mark Kirk Kathy Fudge-White, Will County Division Director for Catholic Charities, told me about one student with multiple disabilities who was better prepared for their education thanks to their Pre-K education. “Once the child began the transition to kindergarten, we worked with the school district to implement their individualized education program, allowing the school to better serve the student,” she said. Previously, local governments were forced to work with a web of multiple federal agencies for the various grants that support these programs. The new education law will streamline the grant process, making it easier for school districts and early childhood service providers to apply for the grants they need to serve their communities. The best way to support Illinois families and give students greater opportunity is to emphasize state and local control over education. Illinois communities know best what their students need and how to utilize these funds to create the best outcome possible for our children. Through the preschool development grants under the new law, early childhood education programs will be able to partner with an elementary school to craft an individualized education plan for students with disabilities. They can collaborate on the services they provide, expand their hours of service and provide adequate transportation to the children they serve. By streamlining the funding process and eliminating the red tape these agencies face, we can ensure that more students across Illinois receive the early childhood education they need to reach their full potential.

ANOTHER VIEW

The Lame Land of Lincoln, indeed Need another reason to be at best irritated with your state government? Let us count the ways. • Late last year the Illinois secretary of state stopped sending out license sticker renewal notices because the ongoing budget impasse had made funds tight and the office could save about $450,000 a month. The results are in for November and December, which show renewals down 19 percent and 35 percent, respectively, from those same months the year before. So the state is out the cash in the short term – $101 per sticker for a standard plate, with approximately 173,000 fewer renewals in December alone, so do the math (we’ll do it for you: nearly $17.5 million) – while those who are late will now face fines of $20. • The Illinois Department of Revenue has announced that it will delay income tax refunds this year because it needs more time to root

out fraud, which at about $5 million worth amounts to 83 cents of wrongdoing per return, by our math. We’re all for cracking down on corruption, and the hardship here is minimal, about a three-week extra wait at most. If only the state would reciprocate that expected patience and forgiveness when citizens are late in filing their tax returns. • The southern Illinois community of Glen Carbon temporarily turned off the water at an Illinois Department of Public Health facility for lack of payment. The city of Springfield wants $6 million in past due utility bills for state properties within its boundaries. How would the city treat any other customer? Perhaps turning off the lights and heat at the Capitol would tempt a budget agreement, at long last. (By the way, Illinois’ governor typically gives his annual budget address in

about five weeks. This year, what would be the point?) • A report out of the lieutenant governor’s office shows what we already knew, that Illinois has more units of government than any other state by a long shot, most of them with the ability to tax, that it’s unnecessary and inefficient and taxpayers are therefore getting the shaft. And we wonder why Illinois is a national bottom feeder when it comes to the number of people moving away as opposed to moving in? Oh, in a state with its act together, you could rationalize away any one of the above as no great harm, no foul. Alas, we live in an Illinois where citizens can be forgiven for believing their state government is not capable of doing anything right. We’re about out of confidence that anyone now there can fix it.

WRESTLING: PLAINFIELD NORTH 46, PLAINFIELD EAST 30

Tigers prevail in ‘Brawlitorium II’ By CURT HERRON cherron@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – Two days after its wrestling-on-a-stage model was successfully copied by Lincoln-Way West and Central, Plainfield East rolled out the mats in its auditorium for “Brawlitorium II,” and it also proved to be a hit for the hosts and its rival, Plainfield North. The Tigers won seven of the 12 contested matches to claim a 46-30 Southwest Prairie Conference win over the Bengals.

While North was thrilled to pick up a victory over East and continue its successful season under coach Jeff Kastel, coach Nick Curby’s young Bengals are encouraged by the progress they’ve made during the campaign. The 26 competitors were welcomed to the stage with a spotlight, music and the support of many students. The atmosphere and setting made for a special evening for both sides. “In my tenure here, we had

never beaten them,” Kastel said. “But the excitement in the room from how they had this set up to the way our guys competed was fun and made it a great night. This is the best team that Plainfield North has had. We’ve had outstanding individuals, but as far as coming together as a team, we’re off the charts as far as what we’ve accomplished. I like their effort in practice, but the biggest thing has been how they’re buying in to what we tell them. The guys are listening very

well, and it shows.” While North’s lineup featured the state’s top-ranked 106-pounder, Marcus Povlick, East sent a pair of highly ranked individuals to the mat, returning state champion Michael McGee at 120 and Zach Krause at 138. Curby is excited to not only have two of the state’s best, but also a group whose best days lie ahead. “Once we got past worrying about wins and losses, I told them that there’s no pressure on them since we just want

them to get better,” Curby said. “All I’m asking for is to give me 100 percent effort. They’ve bought into that, and now they’re starting to see that everything we’re working on is translating into close matches. They’re seeing what we’re doing is working, and now we’ve got two or three years to work on that.

BOYS BASKETBALL: LOCKPORT 56, JOLIET WEST 50

Porters take over in 4th, upset Tigers By DICK GOSS dgoss@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Throughout this season, Lockport boys basketball coach Brett Hespell has spoken of the great group of kids he has to work with. In Thursday night’s SouthWest Suburban Blue battle at Joliet West, all their hard work came to fruition. The Porters took over the game in the fourth quarter and scored a huge 56-50 upset victory over the Tigers. “Absolutely, that is our biggest win,” Hespell said. “We desperately needed it. “We have such good kids, and they have been fighting so hard. We tell them the score of the game isn’t what matters most, but it is good to see the results on the scoreboard. They put it all together, and that is encouraging.” Lockport (7-7, 2-3) drew even, 40-40, at the third-quarter buzzer when Patrick Coo-

“Absolutely, that is our biggest win. We desperately needed it.” Brett Hespell Lockport coach per banked home a 28-foot 3-pointer. From that point, the Porters were in a good spot. They led 50-45 with 2:03 left, 51-47 with 1:21 to go and took control from there as offensive frustration for West (10-6, 2-3) hit a peak. “They definitely were the better team tonight,” West coach Nick DiForti said. “They executed their game plan. “Our kids are in a funk, and we have got to find a way out of it. We have to find the ‘it’ factor that we had all through the beginning of the season. We practice with so much intensity, yet sometimes we come out and play the way we did.” Lockport employed a 1-3-1

zone defense in an attempt to neutralize the Tigers’ quickness and force them to take outside shots. After West hit three straight from beyond the arc in building a 13-3 lead, that well dried up. The Tigers were 4 of their next 22 from 3-point range until Trevino Kirk hit one with three seconds left to account for the final score. “Our defense held up, especially at the end,” said Lockport forward Mikolaj Nowobilski, who finished with 12 points and five rebounds. “We all knew what we wanted to give up and what not to. It’s a lot better with them shooting corner 3s than dunks and layups.” “Obviously, we were at a quickness disadvantage,” Hespell said. “We had to play what suited us, play to our size and strength. We had to give up something; we picked our poison.” John Meyer, a 6-foot-6 sophomore post player, scored 12

points for the Porters on 5-of8 shooting. He and the 6-foot-3 Nowobilski, with an occasional boost off the bench from standout football lineman Matt Chmiewski, went to work inside against West’s defense. “We had a hard practice before this game, and it helped a lot that we played hard and were able to seal them using our size advantage,” Meyer said. “We worked up a good sweat.” “All our big guys have not played that much basketball, and they’re learning how to post up,” Hespell said. “Our guards had to relearn that it’s a good thing to look inside and get them the ball when they get position. “I thought in our last six games that other teams imposed their will. We finally were able to have them do what we wanted, and it was against a very good and wellcoached team. It was a long road to get here, but we are

getting better.” Matt Smietanski chipped in 10 points, Cooper nine and Brandon Credit nailed four straight fourth-quarter free throws for Lockport, which shot 50 percent (17 for 34) and made 16 of 24 free throws. The Porters also outrebounded West, 30-29. “Brett (Hespell) did a great job preparing those guys,” DiForti said. “We have good leaders in our locker room, but when we’re in a funk like this, some lineup change is inevitable.” For the Tigers, Kirk finished with 13 points, Trevian Bell with 12 and Jason Bingham with 10. But West made only 19 of 55 shots, a .345 clip, and 4 of 9 free throws. “Even when we were able to get it inside, there was a lid on the basket,” DiForti said. “We had some three-quarters of the way down that came back out. “We have to figure it out.”

North regained lead with Hennessey’s win at 182 • WRESTLING

Continued from page 17 up the learning curve.” North (13-5) opened with falls from Leo Santos (285) and Povlick (106), but East answered with pins from Anthony Zamora (113) and McGee (120) to force an early 12-12 tie. “I liked this a lot. This is how all wrestling meets should be,” Povlick said. “We’ve been doing good things this season due to hard work in the wrestling room. We joke around a lot, but we still get serious, and I like that.” North regained the lead when Tyler Myers won 10-2 over Hunter Owens at 126, and then Austin Todner claimed an 8-5 victory over Michael Schreiber at 132 to go up 19-12. “This was pretty cool,” Myers said. “The seniors had never beaten them, so we wanted to say that we beat our rivals. We had a good week of practice and knew that it was going to be something different and handled it well and wrestled good. We have such a good group of guys that just like to work hard and it’s showing with the season that we’re having. I like the

The East senior likes what he’s seen from his young

team this season. “We lost a lot of guys the past two years,” Krause said. “We started this year with a group of guys who were very young with little experience. So we set small goals each week, and af-

ter a while we started meeting those goals. It started in the practice room and carried over onto the mat, and now we have goals of winning matches and it won’t be long before they have bigger goals. A great event like this helps since it gives our sport positive exposure.” The Tigers got a pin from Luke Smiley (145) and a 6-3 victory from Shane Drover against Mike Navarro at 152 to take a 28-18 lead. But East bounced back with a fall from Zane Phipps (160) and Jordan Travis’ first win of the year on a pin at 170 to grab a 30-28 lead. North’s Matthew Hennessey recorded a fall in the final contested match at 182, and then Marshall Dillon (195) and Justin Reynolds (220) picked up forfeit victories. “This was a real fun atmosphere,” Hennessey said. “This is how every wrestling meet should be since it brings out the best in both teams with everybody getting pumped up. We have the best team chemistry in the state in my opinion, and that brings out the best in all of us. We’re friends both on and off the mat. This is just a great group of guys.”

One of the difficult jobs we face in every sports season is deciding which deserving players should be on our all-area team in a given sport. As for deciding on a player of the year from among the first-team selections sometimes is a no-brainer. Then there are those other times. During the 2012-2013 boys high school basketball season, Joliet West senior guard Morris Dunnigan and Bolingbrook senior forward Ben Moore both had built solid player-ofthe-year resumes. They were the top players on two of the best teams in the area. We went with Dunnigan. Another publication that covers this area named Moore. Now, three years later, it is interesting to see where their career paths have gone. Dunnigan bounced around a bit, but has settled in the past two years with Blinn College, an NJCAA Division I two-year school in Brenham, Texas. He had a good season a year ago, averaging 13.3 points. Now, however, he has reached another level. Through 17 games for Blinn (13-4), the 6-foot-3 Dunnigan is averaging a team-leading 24.1 points. He is shooting .537 from the field, .379 from 3-point range and .855 from the free-throw line. He also is averaging 5.8 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.3 steals. The word is Dunnigan is receiving interest from prominent NCAA Division I programs. It will be fun to watch him play on that level if he receives an offer he likes and takes advantage of it. Moore is in a different situation. Always a good student, he enrolled at SMU out Bolingbrook and is in his junior season with legendary coach Larry Brown’s program. He averaged 6.2 points and 3.6 rebounds in 15 minutes a game as a freshman. Last season as a sophomore, he started and averaged 7.1 points and 4.7 rebounds. This season, the game of the

can finish unbeaten. To date, in Moore’s three seasons at the Dallas school, SMU boasts a 70-17 record. Dunnigan or Moore. Take your pick. Both can play. Meanwhile, what has happened on the local front since they were seniors in 2012-2013? After the 2013-2014 season, we selected Aaron Jordan, then a junior at Plainfield East, as our player of the year. After Bolingbrook’s third-place finish in Class 4A a year ago, we went with Raiders senior guard Prentiss Nixon. In both of those seasons, Plainfield North forward/guard Trevor Stumpe also was a candidate for our ultimate honor. This season, Jordan, Nixon and Stumpe are freshmen who are contributing off the bench at D-I programs. Jordan, of course, is at Illinois (9-8), where he has started five of the 16 games in which he has appeared, with most of the starts coming early. He is averaging 4.4 points, 1.1 rebound and 0.8 assists in 14.9 minutes and is shooting .317 from the field, .326 from beyond the arc and .857 (18 of 21) from the free-throw line. Nixon is at Colorado State (10-7), where he averages 14.2 minutes, 5.0 points, 2.1 rebounds and 1.2 assists while shooting .426 from the floor, .474 (18 of 38) from 3-point range and .500 from the freethrow line. Trumpe has moved on to Wofford (6-10), where he has played in 12 games and averaged 5.6 minutes. He is averaging 2.4 points and is shooting .476 from the field, .364 from 3-point range and has hit all five of his freeAP photo throw attempts.

Raven Reed did her damage inside and led the Tigers (7-10, 3-3) with 14 points. Sarah Gersch scored 11, and Madi Mulder and Kierra Tyler chipped in eight. “That’s the best game we have played all year offensively and defensively,” said West coach John Placher, whose team survived 38 turnovers in beating Lockport, 52-48, two nights earlier. “I’ll bet we didn’t have more than 10 turnovers tonight, Sarah and Madi hit open shots and when Raven scores in the paint like she did, you can see things starting to come together. “We play in a tough conference and to be playing .500 ball compared to where we were last year, I didn’t know if we could get there. But we have a good group of girls and now they are starting to believe in what we are doing, what we are teaching them.”

MONTREAL – Jonathan Toews scored, Corey Crawford made 39 saves and the Blackhawks beat the Montreal Canadiens 2-1 on Thursday night to extend their winning streak to nine games and move Joel Quenneville into sole possession of second place in career coaching victories. Quenneville has 783 wins, one more than Al Arbour but still well behind leader Scotty Bowman’s 1,244. The Blackhawks haven’t lost since Dec. 27 against Carolina and will try to make it 10 straight Friday night in Toronto. Ryan Garbutt also scored in the first period. Paul Byron scored, but Montreal fell to 5-14 since Dec. 1 despite a spirited effort against the defending Stanley Cup champions. Shots were 40-33 in favor of the Canadiens, and both Crawford and Montreal’s Mike Condon had strong performances in net.

Offensive lineman Long named to Pro Bowl By KEVIN FISHBAIN kfishbain@chicagofootball.com For the third time in three NFL seasons, the Bears’ Kyle Long is heading to the Pro Bowl, this time as a tackle. Long replaces injured Eagles offensive tackle Jason Peters in the all-star game. Long said he was playing the video game “Grand Theft Auto” on Thursday morning when he got a voice mail from John Fox. He called his coach back and received the news. “At first, I was shocked. It just makes me realize how great of a fan base we have and appreciative of the people that are supporting us week to week and the guys around me on the team,” Long said on a conference call. “I can’t say enough about the guys on this team and this coaching staff.” Players are assigned to the two teams during a Pro Bowl Draft on Jan. 27. The game is at 6 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 31 at Aloha Stadium in Hawaii and will be broadcast on ESPN. In the first week of the season, Long moved to right tackle when Jordan Mills didn’t work out and was re-

and I’ve tried to stay positive every day. It’s been a fun process this year. There have been tough times, but Hawaii is going to be fun.” In 2015, Long played every snap but one, coming off the field briefly in the season finale but then returning. He helped keep Jay Cutler clean against some of the league’s better pass rushers, such as Khalil Mack, Justin Houston and the Tampa Bay defense, which sacked Cutler only once in Week 16. The Bears also ran behind the athletic Long often during the season and averaged 5.1 yards a carry off the right end. Long is the only Pro Bowler for the Bears, helping them avoid their first season without any since 1999. He is looking forward to continuing his learning process by being around the Shaw Media file photo Bears tackle Kyle Long (left) blocks San Francisco’s Arik Armstead during the first half game’s best in Hawaii in two weeks. “You get to see how the great ones Dec. 6 at Soldier Field in Chicago. act and interact with one another,” he leased.

NFL owners’ battle for L.A. move was never a fair fight The Oakland Raiders, San Diego Chargers and St. Louis Rams all are mediocre to bad football teams. But when it came to their battle to see which one or two of them could win the rights to move their team to Los Angeles, they weren’t playing football, and football really had nothing to do with it. Roger Goodell and the other 29 NFL owners have been frothing at the mouth to get back to L.A. ever since Goodell moved into the commissioner’s office. The contest, won in a resounding rout by the Rams and owner Stan Kroenke on Tuesday, was about money, power and knowing how to wield that power. Kroenke didn’t just blow the competition away, he left them competing for his table scraps. The Chargers will be allowed to join Kroenke on his terms or go back to San Diego hat in hand, and the Raiders were handed a goody bag and

sent back to Oakland to fend for themselves, or the chance Mark Davis can become Kroenke’s junior partner only if Dean Spanos declines. One NFL insider familiar with the playbook from the owners meetings in Houston that yielded Los Angeles’ new toy described the competing presentations for Kroenke’s Ingelwood stadium and Spanos’ and Davis’ Carson City building as “the Taj Mahal of sports emporiums vs. Legos.” Here’s everything you need to know about what went down in Houston: Kroenke is believed to be worth between $7.5 billion and $8 billion and is the second-richest owner in the NFL, trailing only Seattle’s Paul Allen. A great deal of that wealth was inherited when his wife Ann’s father, James “Bud” Walton, the co-founder of WalMart, died. We all know money begets

BEARS INSIDER Hub Arkush money, but Kroenke has done pretty well expanding the family fortune both before and after the great inheritance, including acquiring the controlling interest in the Rams in August of 2010. Dean Spanos has been the President and CEO of the Chargers since 1994 after the team was bought by his father, Alex, in 1984. Alex is a self-made billionaire and at one time was one of the largest real estate developers in the country. Although Dean is one of the most popular owners in the league, as near as I can tell, his career has been as Alex’s son and the head of the Chargers. There are no apparent credentials to compare to Kroenke’s business accomplishments.

Davis is the son of NFL Hall of Famer and former Raiders owner Al Davis. He has no record of accomplishment in business or football and, in fact, wasn’t even involved with the team until a little more than a decade or so ago. He is Al’s only child. I’m guessing you’re starting to get the picture here. This went the only way it ever was going to go based on the three dogs in the fight. According to multiple sources, none of the three teams had the votes needed to gain approval when the meetings started and Kroenke had angered several owners with his approach. Once the other 29 owners saw the two stadium proposals, it was game, set and match in favor of the Rams. Whatever sentimental attachments some owners might have to Spanos and Davis, they never were considered once it was clear Kroenke had a plan to bring hundreds

of millions, if not billions, of new dollars to the league in the form of revenue and team valuations. The deal to allow Spanos to join Kroenke was brokered because it is good for all 32 owners, not because of any affection for or perceived loyalty to Spanos. So is this all ultimately good for the NFL and its fans? It clearly stinks for the folks in St. Louis and probably San Diego. But this never has been about what’s good for the game or its fans, and clearly the city of Los Angeles has done nothing to deserve this potential windfall. This always has been about the checkbooks of the 32 NFL team owners, and they appear to have notched another big windfall.

The ASSOCIATED PRESS PHILADELPHIA – Jimmy Butler scored a career-high 53 points and E’Twaun Moore had seven of his 14 in overtime to lead the Bulls to a 115-111 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers on Thursday night. Butler also had 10 rebounds and six assists while making 15-of-30 field goals and 21-of-25 free throws to help the Bulls snap a three-game losing streak. He became the first Bulls player to score 50 points since Jamal Crawford in 2004. Robert Covington scored 25

points and Ish Smith had 24 for the 76ers, who fell to 4-37. But the Sixers didn’t go down easily in this one. Nerlens Noel’s follow put Philadelphia in front 108-104 just more than a minute into overtime. Moore followed with a 3-pointer, a drive and then a 15-footer for a 7-0 run that put the Bulls up 111-108 with 2:35 remaining. Butler’s layup made it 113-108 before Smith’s 3-pointer cut the lead to 113-111 with 1:05 remaining. Smith had a chance to tie it but his layup with 25.9 seconds left rimmed out, and Doug Mc-

Dermott clinched the victory with a pair of free throws with 10.4 seconds to play. The Bulls were without guard Derrick Rose and starting center Pau Gasol (rest). Joakim Noah, making just his second start of the season, had six points and eight rebounds in Gasol’s place. The Bulls outrebounded the 76ers 53-34. Philadelphia scored the first eight points of the fourth quarter, capped by one of Covington’s four fourth-quarter 3s, to take an 87-77 lead. But the Bulls, behind Butler’s array of

offensive skills, whittled away at the lead. He finally put the Bulls ahead on a layup with 2:24 left in the fourth that made it 98-97. After Smith’s jumper put Philadelphia back in front on the ensuing possession, Butler converted a three-point play after draining a 15-footer to reach 50 points. Smith then tied it at 101 on a drive before Moore’s 3-pointer from the left wing put the Bulls ahead 104-101 with 1:17 left in regulation. Smith responded with a 3 of his own with 17.6 seconds left to tie it at 104.

More than a sandwich and coffee Joliet’s Book and Bean Cafe hosts Monday art nights By DENISE M. BARAN–UNLAND dunland@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A year ago, a Joliet Junior College art student named Lexi Dedetsinas approached Tammy Duckworth and asked if she could work on her JJC acrylics project in Duckworth’s Book and Bean Cafe. Duckworth agreed and then asked Dedetsinas if she’d like to host a monthly paint night. As a painter and crafter, Duckworth wanted to host art nights ever since she opened the café inside the Black Road branch of the Joliet Public Library four years ago. Duckworth said she envisioned her place as a community center, not just a place to grab a cup of coffee and a sandwich. Dedetsinas said she had never taught a class. The concept made her nervous, but she agreed – and then found her students were nervous, too. “Many of them had never lifted a paintbrush,” Dedetsinas said. “So I just approached it in a relaxed way and showed how easy and fun it can be, not stressful at all.” Each month follows a theme – January was coffee month – and each Monday night class features a different medium. The first Monday is devoted to watercolors, taught by Ann Danbury of Joliet. Fiber art is on the second, and Dedetsinas’ acrylics class is on the fourth. The third Monday is “miscellaneous,” as the mediums and projects vary month to month, Duckworth said. Teachers create a prototype of the month’s selection and hang it in the café so patrons can see it in advance

Book and Bean Cafe owner Tammy Duckworth paints Jan. 4 with watercolors during an art night at the cafe in Joliet. of the class. Dedetsinas said the January acrylics class will paint a stack of coffee cups against an orange background. Students tend to return each month, with at least one new face per class, Dedetsinas said. Although art nights are for adults, Dedetsinas lets kids attend if they are accompanied by adults. “One week, I had a 5-yearold and a 95-year-old at the same time,” Dedetsinas said. In January, Danbury introduced her students to the concept of painting on book pages. In this case, Danbury drew four different designs of coffee cups on pages torn from “The Inverted Forest,” by John Dalton, which students had the option of “antiquing” by staining them with coffee. Danbury also encouraged embellishing the watercolors

with watercolor pencils and fine point markers. For some, Danbury said, painting on book pages becomes a type of journaling. One reason Amanda Dominick of Joliet attended the January watercolor class is because she likes coffee and books. “My family teases me about the huge collection of coffee cups I have at home,” Dominick said. Duckworth said past fiber art projects include crocheting and making felted purses or cardinal pins, and she wants to introduce knitting at some point. Duckworth also has an art wall in her café and features a local artist six times per year. She’d like eventually to broaden the event concept by adding reading nights, kid jams and open mic and come-

Acrylics night is $20 and watercolors is $15, which pays for materials and instructors; the café doesn’t receive a cent, Duckworth said. People can sign up in advance in the café. Attendance at art nights has run as high as 18, but Duckworth said she tries to limit it to 15, as the café is small and needs to be available for library patrons, too. Duckworth does little to advertise the classes. “Basically, it’s just word of mouth,” Duckworth said. “I put a flier on the door or window, and people come in when they’re interested.” In addition to the art nights, Duckworth’s café is available

A&E BRIEFS

St. Mary school hosted Christmas band concert

PLAINFIELD – The St. Mary Immaculate Parish School Cadet and Concert Bands, under the direction of Lacey Wehrli, performed their annual Christmas Band Concert on Dec. 3 in the gym. The fourth- and fifth-grade cadet band presented “A Mozart Melody,” “Hot Cross Buns,” “Lightly Row,” “Good King Wenceslas,” “Jolly Old St. Nick” and “Jingle Bells.” This was the first performance for the fourth-grade novice musicians, who received their instruments just months ago.

Author to appear at Hickory Creek school

FRANKFORT – Hickory Creek Middle School in Frankfort will host author Tim Green at 6 p.m. Feb. 3 at 22150 W. 116th Ave., Frankfort. This presentation is funded through a grant from the District 157-C Education Foundation. After studying writing at Syracuse University where he was an All American football player, Green was drafted in the first round of the NFL draft by the Atlanta Falcons, where he was a top defensive player for eight years. While he played in the NFL, Green also studied law and began his writing career. By the time he retired from football in 1994, Green already had published his first book and become a lawyer. Green also worked as a TV broadcaster for a variety of shows. After writing more than a dozen books for adults, Green wrote a series of novels for young readers set in a world of sports taken from his own experiences as an athlete and a coach. Green has visited more than 1,000 schools and spoken to nearly a half million students across the United States about the importance of education, character and the joys and benefits of reading. Green’s book, “Unstoppable,” was a Rebecca Caudill nominee. For information, visit www. timgreenbooks.com.

Troy Middle School students use technology tools for better music The HERALD-NEWS PLAINFIELD – At the beginning of the school year, the symphonic band and concert band classes at Troy Middle School in Plainfield received iPads and a new computer program to assist them in learning music pieces. The software is called, “SmartMusic.” It is an interactive music education program the students use at home on their own tablets or laptops while practicing with their instruments. They choose the piece they

want to practice, and the program “listens” to and records them playing it. When the student hits a wrong note, the screen displays that note in a red color. The program also gives live feedback if the rhythm is off. With the software, students may practice a piece solo, or they may choose to play with the program’s background band of professional musicians, giving them a feel for how their piece fits in with a group. TMS band director Bill Goetz said the recordings of professional bands allow the

students the chance to get an exposure of playing with professionals. The teachers also use the program for grade assessments. Students play an assigned piece at home, record it and then send it to Goetz or fellow band instructor Jenny Carlton, who assign the students grades and provide feedback regarding articulation and tone quality. The Troy Band Boosters and Troy Community Consolidated School District 30C paid for the iPads and software.

LEMONT – Students at Oakwood and River Valley schools in Lemont are getting into reading. To kick off the reading incentive at Oakwood School in Lemont, the school’s reading specialists held assemblies to inspire students to read over the coming weeks. The message? Stick to reading and you will have an opportunity to stick building Principal Cathy Slee to the wall. For every 100 minutes read, students will earn a length of duct tape. At the end of the incentive period in mid-February, students who have earned duct tape pieces will assist in sticking the principal to the wall during lunch. River Valley students and staff celebrated their love of reading through a variety of events throughout this year in a reading program titled, “Every Minute Counts.” Recently, the staff held an event that represented the halfway point of a school-wide reading challenge that culminates in May. Principal Debra Lynch and assistant principal, Margaret Burkhardt, challenged the students to read more than 1,600,000 minutes this year. Lynch and Burkhardt agreed to “Kiss a Bulldog” to celebrate the accomplishments of the students, who already have logged in 541,801 minutes.

Count to 10 tricks in a major-suit game

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Mitch Hedberg, a stand-up comedian, said, “I haven’t slept for 10 days, because that would be too long.” That is a common form of humor: two apparently disconnected phrases do relate unexpectedly. But in this deal, “10” is key. When in four of a major, ask yourself what 10 tricks you plan to win. For example, in this deal from the 2015 European Open Championships in Tromso, Norway, how would you play in four hearts after West leads a trump? One declarer had lost one diamond and three clubs, and no doubt grumbled that he was unlucky. It is true that he was, but he did not need to be unlucky – he should have had his eye on one spade, four hearts, three diamonds and two spade ruffs in the dummy. Declarer wins the first trick with his heart eight, cashes the spade ace, ruffs a spade in the dummy, and plays a diamond to his queen, which West ducks, realizing that winning the trick cannot defeat the contract. South ruffs the spade queen, draws trumps, and continues diamonds. West takes the third round, apparently cutting declarer off from the last diamond, and leads his final spade. South ruffs and must broach the clubs. Here, he must lead either the jack or king. West takes the trick, but has to return a club, letting South’s king or jack be his 10th trick. If, instead, South exits with a low club, he will lose three club tricks. Probably it is best to lead the king. One indication is West’s opening trump lead, which suggests dangerous holdings in the other suits, especially the minors.

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff “work” in less time. That could make workouts easier to fit into a busy day. As fitness improves, you should feel better, with greater endurance. But no matter what type of cardiovascular training you choose, you need to do it regularly to see improvement. If you’re otherwise healthy, interval training shouldn’t present major risks, as long as you start gradually. If a person’s heart has normal blood flow, interval training carries minimal risk, and helps keep the heart healthy. On the other hand, if you have heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes or other risk factors for heart disease, talk to your doctor before starting interval training. The possible risk is this: First, a brief period of intense physical work will cause the heart to work very hard. If heart disease has slowed the supply of blood to part of the heart, that part of the heart may not get the blood it needs to do the work. That, in turn, could start a dangerously irregular heart rhythm, one that could lead to cardiac arrest. You can reduce the risk of straining a muscle or joint by starting with a gentle warm-up before your workout to loosen your joints and get your blood flowing. Be prepared to “feel the burn” after your challenging new workouts. It’s normal to feel sore for a day or two as your muscles recover. A day of rest between workouts also is a good idea.

Dear Dr. K: What is interval training? What are the benefits of exercising this way? Dear Reader: Interval training simply means alternating between short bursts of intense exercise and brief periods of rest (or a less-intense activity). The payoff is improved cardiovascular fitness with shorter workouts. Aerobic activities, such as walking, biking, running and swimming, make the heart and lungs work harder, which increases cardiovascular endurance. They also help burn calories and pare down unwanted fat. Aerobic activity is an important part of any well-rounded exercise program. “High intensity” basically means exercising at an intensity you could not sustain for more than five to 10 minutes before becoming exhausted. In interval training, you do high-intensity exercise for a minute or so, then rest and repeat. I spoke to Howard Knuttgen, research associate in physical medicine and rehabilitation at Harvard-affiliated Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital. He said the seesaw relationship between exercise intensity and duration is what makes interval training work. Here are a few examples of what interval training would look like in practice: • Swimming: Swim one lap as fast as you can. Rest for about the same time as it took you to swim the lap. Repeat. • Walking: Walk as fast as you can for a minute or two. Then walk at a leisurely pace for the same period. Repeat. • Gym machines: Treadmills, elliptical trainers and stationary cycles often have a built-in interval training function to put you through your paces. Interval training allows you to accomplish the same amount of exercise

And if I ever get exclusive, how would I tell that person I’ve been single all of my life without sounding like I’m weird? – Still Single

In Wisconsin Dear Single: There’s noth-

ing “weird” about a 30-yearold man or woman being single these days. People are marrying later than in years past, so you shouldn’t feel defensive about it. As to when to reveal you are a virgin, the time to discuss it would be when a relationship progresses to the point where physical intimacy enters the picture. • Write Dear Abby at www. dearabby.com or P.O.

Dear Abby: I lived with my mother, who passed away recently. I invited my cousins over to the house for Thanksgiving. One of them invited a cousin-in-law I had never met. When I woke from a nap, the cousin-in-law was here and asked me about our walk-in bathtub, which means while I was asleep on my mother’s bed, she had entered my mother’s bedroom and private bathroom. I was flabbergasted. She also asked to keep a program I showed her from Mom’s service. I wanted to refuse (I still haven’t sent programs to out-of-state friends and relatives and am unsure how many I might need), but I let her keep it. Should I say something to let her know how inappropriate it was for her to give herself a tour of my home before she even met me? – Invaded In

FRIDAY HOROSCOPE By EUGENIA LAST Newspaper Enterprise Association TODAY – Shoot for the stars. Your intuition will not let you down, so don’t hold back when you have so much to gain. A change in direction or some time spent honing your skills will help you masterfully orchestrate your plans and bring the rewards you desire. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Relax and enjoy what you have worked so hard to acquire. Don’t let anyone guilt you into donating to something that isn’t your problem or concern. Choose your charities wisely. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – If you try your best, success will find you. Love is on the rise, and mixing business with pleasure is

favored. Generosity will result in positive change. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Favors will be granted. Speak up in order to grab the attention of someone who can offer practical solutions. Avoid taking on too much or making promises you cannot keep. ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Keep a low profile. The less said, the easier it will be to fix whatever problems arise. Don’t let your emotions get the better of you. Focus on personal change. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Share your thoughts and collaborate with people who are as engaging and forward-thinking as you are. An offer will tempt you, but look at the fine print before you accept it.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Don’t be taken advantage of by someone else. If someone is asking too much of you, back away. Plan to make personal changes that will help improve your emotional well-being. CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Don’t let unexpected changes spoil your day or plans. If you stick with like-minded people and maintain your focus, you will reach your goals. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Speak from the heart and share your plans. Someone will be eager to help you if you offer a little incentive. Romance is on the rise and a celebration is favored. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Step outside your comfort zone and find out what life has to offer. You will have more fun mingling with

people who share your interests rather than sitting at home with those who don’t. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Get out and discover what’s going on in your community. Participating in events that are enlightening will change the way you handle people who are giving you a hard time. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Engage in talks with people who have a different perspective or philosophy in order to find some sensible ideas to incorporate into your own life. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Stick close to home and nurture the relationships that are most important to you. A joint effort can turn your environment into a place of comfort and joy.

SATURDAY HOROSCOPE By EUGENIA LAST Newspaper Enterprise Association TODAY – Gauge situations as they develop this year. You will have a tendency to act impulsively, letting your emotions get in the way of your vision if you aren’t careful. Opportunity is apparent, but so are poor choices. Think matters through. Time is on your side. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Listen to what’s being said and weigh the pros and cons. Back away from the unpredictable and look for practical solutions in order to come out on top. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Consider the options available to you and choose the direction that makes you feel most comfortable. A

romantic plan will bring you closer to someone you love. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Helping others will end up helping you as well. A partnership will develop, and talks that lead to the fulfillment of a dream will unfold. ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Anxiety will set in if you have too much idle time. Don’t let mistakes result from an emotional moment. Concentrate on making personal changes instead of trying to change others. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Pay attention to detail or you will face opposition, red tape or a costly setback. Keep the lines of communication open so that everyone is on the same page. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Document what’s

being said and keep your facts straight. A misunderstanding could cost you your position or a valuable connection. Protect your heart and your health. CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Don’t let others railroad you into a decision if you are feeling uncertain. Take control of any situation that could influence your lifestyle or a relationship with a loved one. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – An opportunity to make a professional change should be carefully examined. If it requires a change of location or an exploratory trip to solidify the deal, let your curiosity lead the way. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Problems dealing with younger or older individuals will develop at

home. Use reason, incentive and reverse psychology to get your point across. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Participate in neighborhood or community events. It’s important to keep busy and dodge any discord at home or around other family members. Let things settle before you take action. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Traveling, lending a helping hand and calling in favors owed are all possible and positive endeavors today. Don’t hesitate to take a leap or pitch in. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Don’t let depression set in. Look at your life realistically and make the alterations required to bring you the happiness and contentment you desire. Love is in the stars.
