On my first visit to the Rialto Square Theatre I was overwhelmed by the beauty of the facility.

It’s hard not to be. Built in the 1920s in the Neo-Baroque style, the American Institute of Architects considers it one of “150 great places in Illinois.”

A few weeks later, I marveled at how fantastic the place looked at the kick-off for the Festival of Trees. I know many of you who grew up here in Joliet have more personal recollections; maybe it’s where your first date took place, or where you saw your first show.

Despite all the headlines the Rialto gets these days, the theater holds a special place in the hearts of many. And as the theater approaches its 90-year anniversary, let’s for a moment set aside the concerns and focus on how much the Rialto means to us personally.

The Rialto is celebrating May 24 its 90th anniversary and it is asking residents to submit memories and stories

VIEWS Kate Schott

about the experiences or special events they have had there. Those memories will then be incorporated into the celebration in a display, or perhaps shared in other manners if permission is given by the person who holds the memory.

“We are looking for people to share or tell us, either a story or a memory that they have,” said Annette Parker, director of marketing and sales at the Rialto.

“Maybe they had their first date, or they met their spouse or got married there, or got a star’s autograph. … [We’re looking for] something very special that happened to them because of the Rialto.”

Parker, for instance, said her favorite memories include getting married there, the 50th wedding anniversary party for

her parents and taking her kids to see “Sesame Street” there.

The Rialto opened May 24, 1926.

The 90th anniversary celebration will include a day of tours, organ concerts and showings of silent movies, as well as cake and a champagne toast. There also will be tours. Check out www.rialtosquare.com for more information on the anniversary celebration.

The Rialto would like the stories or memories by May 16 so they can be on display at the May 24 events. Email your memories to Parker at aparker@ rialtosquare.com.

Caton Farm Road bridge project starts Monday

By BOB OKON bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Motorists beware: Starting Monday the Caton Farm Road bridge will become tough to cross.

The four-lane bridge over the DuPage River will be narrowed to two lanes as construction crews begin a project that is expected to last until November.

Traffic congestion is expected to be at its worst during the morning and afternoon rush hours, since the route is used by commuters as a connection between the far West Side of the city and Interstate 55.

The deck is being rebuilt on the bridge located east of Route 59.

City officials are suggesting motorists find other routes during the morning and afternoon commute times. Backups are expected because of the heavy volume of traffic on the road.

“It’s going to be very congested,” Joliet Public Works Director James Trizna said. “The traffic count there is 24,000 to 25,000 cars a day, and there aren’t too many crossroads over the river.”

Caton Farm Road is a major corridor carrying traffic to and from subdivisions in the far West Side of Joliet. Many commuters use it to get to an Interstate 55 frontage road that connects with Route 30, where they can pick up the interstate.

Trizna said commuters will look for other routes through Joliet, Plainfield and Shorewood looking to pick up I-55.

One Joliet option is to take Black Road to Ess-

More construction

Also scheduled to start Monday is a routine bridge inspection on Interstate 80 over the Des Plaines River in Joliet. Temporary lane closures will take place on I-80 over the river, starting about 2 miles east of Larkin Avenue.

The closures will begin on westbound I-80 and switch to eastbound I-80, keeping at least two lanes open to traffic.

The inspection is expected to be completed by May 7.

ington Road, which leads to the Louis Joliet Mall area. The Shorewood option is to take Route 59 to Jefferson Street, which connects with I-55. One Plainfield option is taking Route 59 to Route 126, which leads to I-55.

Another Plainfield option, which is to take Renwick Road to Route 30, may not work so well with another construction project taking place on Route 30 near I-55.

Lily Cache Road will be closed at Caton Farm Road because the two roads connect at the bridge where construction will begin.

Councilman Larry Hug, whose District One includes the bridge site, said most of the 31,000 residents on the far West Side of the city probably are unaware of the bridge project.

“It’s going to be well worth the inconvenience when it’s done, but plan ahead,” Hug said.

The work is needed because of the growth and increased use since the bridge was built in the 1980s, when traffic counts were closer to 3,000 a day, Trizna said.

he cold February night air jolted Ali Moore awake as the car door flew open.

Mokena police were standing outside the vehicle, wondering what she and a friend were doing parked at the 7-Eleven.

Blood was smeared across the dashboard. Ali’s pants were stained with swipes of burgundy. A gallon-sized bag of unused needles sat in the backseat of her friend’s car.

The two had at least $400 worth of heroin.

“We didn’t mean to nod off,” Ali recalled two years later in the basement of her parents’ New Lenox home.

“When I got out of the car, I realized what was happening, and I had that moment of clarity.”

A month of sleeping on friends’ couches and in the homes of drug dealers in crime-riddled south Chicago suburbs abruptly came to a halt when Moore was booked Feb. 23, 2014, into the Will County jail on drug possession charges.

But even then, the Lincoln-Way Central High School graduate with a long history of drug use was dead set on fighting the charges and quickly getting back on the streets – all to chase that high. She asked her parents to bail her out.

They refused.

“When I went to jail, I said, ‘OK, I’ll get out and just keep getting high.’ You know, I really didn’t care,” said Ali, now 21.

Her arrest was a low point in her life – but it wasn’t rock bottom.

That came the following week, when her father, Tom Moore, broke the news to her that while she was sitting in a jail cell, her younger brother, Jake, had died from a drug-induced heart arrhythmia.

He died March 5, 2014, three months shy of graduating from Lincoln-Way Central.

“That’s what motivated me to

“My dad said, ‘We’ll bail you out if you [get help],’ so yes, I agreed.”

Ali and Jake – born just 17 months apart – were inseparable growing up, but the two never took heroin together, she said. It seemed when she was clean, he was high. When she falling off, he was in recovery.

By ALLISON SELK

Morris Community High School Superintendent Pat Halloran discusses the need to reach middle-performing students and students who want to move out of the four-year college trend with career services at a “Cradle to Career” seminar Friday.

Shaw Media Correspondent MORRIS – Seventeen community members who represent various social services for Grundy County residents met in a “Cradle to Career” seminar Friday morning at First Christian Church in Morris to discuss how to better align the many services in the county to benefit residents from birth to adulthood.

Community Foundation of Grundy County Executive Director Julie Buck said for years the Grundy Partnership for Children and the Grundy County Business Education Council have separately discussed service issues, but the time was right for the groups to meet and offer an open invitation to educators, businesses and service providers.

“I wanted to bring everybody together for the first time to create synergy and awareness on both ends,” Buck said.

Buck had each person in the room stand up and introduce himself or herself, their service and a wish they had for their service. Buck said the problem in Grundy County has not been a lack of services offered, but a lack of awareness and participation.

“People don’t pay attention to what services are in the county until they need those services and they need them now, so we need to create awareness, but also look at availability. We are a 24/7 society and our services tend to be 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., 40-hour-per-week services,” Buck said.

The groups involved in the seminar included local school districts, daycare and preschool providers, chambers of

commerce, public libraries, early childhood advocates, adult job training and workforce centers, community outreach organizations and centers for disabled adults.

The group came together to find out how to get parents to screen children from birth to age 3 for delays, how to reach school kids in need of help, and how to assist adults who may be out of work or need resources.

Cindy Louzeniecki, Child and Family Connections #15 Local Interagency Council Coordinator for Early Intervention, said parents need to lose the stigma that the screening process is designed to

look for problems only.

“I’m not here to find something wrong with their child. The screening is a snapshot of their child’s development,” she said.

Next was the discussion of schoolaged children, who, according to Buck’s findings, are only in school 1,500 hours per school year, compared to being home 4,700 hours per year. Parents who want the school to take care of all education and middle-of-the-road students who aren’t academically gifted being left behind were issues addressed.

Morris Community High School Superintendent Pat Halloran agreed he

has seen division in the schools with the middle kids somewhat out of the loop because, “the A students and the special education students seem to have the most resources,” he said.

Finally, Grundy Workforce Services of Joliet Junior College addressed adults who lack “soft skills” or the ability to read or function at an appropriate level to maintain a job.

Through the seminar, it appeared family, physician, teacher and service provider involvement seemed to be the best answer to provide a healthy lifestyle for the county.

Lincoln-Way District 210 board acknowledges improper accounting

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com NEW LENOX – The Lincoln-Way Community High School District 210 board sent a statement late Friday that said it is improving transparency and finances, but a resident group suing the board still wants it to rescind the vote to close North High School.

The statement sent to media said the board is actively working to address community concerns regarding district finances and management, and that it has taken steps to correct past practices.

Board members stated they understand the “frustrations and calls for action,” and that the board is working with administrators to fully understand the scope of each issue before taking “appropriate, corrective action.”

“It is apparent that a proper system of checks and balances was not in place, and that the previous superintendent [Lawrence Wyllie] took unauthorized action; for this, we take responsibility,” the statement read, referring to the results of an agreed-upon procedures report given at the board’s April 14 meeting.

The board stated the true condition of the district was “masked by improper accounting.” Based on the report results, the district will need to increase its borrowing by $5 million to fix fund transfer issues.

Lincoln-Way Area Taxpayers Unite, the resident group suing the board, sent an email Saturday stating the community “has done all of the legwork” for the board by analyzing district finances and finding information months before official announcements.

“Why won’t they step back and rescind the vote on [North] until they can check the facts for themselves?” the email asked.

The board decided to close North in August to control its multimillion-dollar deficit spending after being placed on the state financial watch list.

The decision provoked outrage among residents, especially North parents, who formed LWATU and decided in December to sue the board to prevent the high school from closing. The group has argued operating all four high schools is still possible.

The lawsuit is expected to have its next hearing May 20 after a Will County judge dismissed LWATU’s first complaint and rejected a temporary restraining order and subpoenas from the group.

Residents and media have dug

into district finances and other issues through Freedom of Information Act requests, which amounted to about 375 requests between August and March, according to board documents.

Besides the agreed upon procedures report and resolution, the board stated other corrective action it’s taken includes: • Hiring Steve Langert as interim business manager • Hiring new auditors • Establishing a building and finance advisory committee • Gathering applications for a new business official to start July 1.

Ronald Sawin, the previous business official, agreed to accelerate his retirement to April 30. According to his retirement agreement, he and the board are in a dispute over his performance.

Pleading guilty, finding help

The heroin epidemic in Will County was thought to have reached its peak in 2012 when the county hit an all-time high of 53 overdose deaths in a single calendar year.

But in 2015, the drug claimed another 53 victims – 19 of whom were 30 or younger.

As of Friday, at least 18 people are confirmed to have died from heroinrelated overdoses in 2016, with eight pending cases still under investigation, according to the Will County Coroner’s Office.

That’s compared to the 11 who fatally overdosed by this time in 2015.

The county and social service agencies have worked to combat those deaths through education, forums and programs like drug court.

Most of Will County drug court’s 377 graduates had to wait several weeks or months to earn a spot in the highdemand jail diversion program. Julie McCabe-Sterr, specialty court coordinator for the county, said the Moore family was a unique case that couldn’t wait.

To enter drug court, the offender has to admit wrongdoing by pleading guilty.

“We sort of have this system, you know. They come in, they observe for a few weeks. They get a sense of what drug court is. … We try to figure out the best treatment plan,” McCabe-Sterr said.

“But when Tom called, that all changed. … It’s like, ‘How do you leave this girl in custody when she just lost her brother?’

“Ali was fortunate,” McCabe-Sterr added. “She had this dad that was rock solid. … In his deepest hour of grief, he was there.”

Drug court programs are designed to break the cycle of addiction by providing resources – including time in rehab, community service hours, drug testing, and mental health and drug counseling as part of an overall treatment plan.

The total cost to put one person through drug court is about $3,000. It costs $95 per day to house an inmate in the Will County jail, according to the County State’s Attorney’s Office.

After 18 months in drug court, Ali graduated from the program in October. Her boyfriend, Dale Burk, graduated from neighboring DuPage County’s drug court program the same day.

Ali and Dale said they owe their lives to drug court, the support groups that followed and the unyielding support of family. The couple lives with Ali’s parents in New Lenox. They hold wellpaying, full-time jobs and care for their 9-month-old baby, Daelyn.

Moore, who was 20 at the time of graduation, entered drug court treatment soon after she was picked up by Mokena police on drug possession charges in February 2014. She said her main motivation for staying clean is her younger brother, Jake Moore, who died from a drug-induced heart arrhythmia in March 2014.

Burk and his girlfriend, Ali Moore, graduated from separate drug court programs on the same day. After Burk relapsed on heroin the day before his daughter’s first Easter Sunday, he plugged himself back into recovery by attending nightly recovery meetings and one-on-one sessions with his sponsor.

It’s proof, they say, that a life of recovery is possible.

But the journey is far from over.

‘I slipped up’

Neither weekly support group meetings or a months-long treatment stay are one-way tickets to sobriety.

Heroin – it can sneak up on you.

Dale relapsed on the eve of Daelyn’s first Easter Sunday. Despite having all the tools, all the coping mechanisms, at his fingertips, he injected heroin into his body.

“Honestly … Easter Sunday, I was still out of it. I don’t really even recall much of Sunday,” Dale said. “It was Daelyn’s first Easter and it was kind

of a blur. But at least I was there. I was happy I was there even though I wasn’t 100 percent. Next Easter, hopefully I’ll be 100 percent.”

Anyone who believes recovery is easy has never experienced addiction, Dale said.

The 30-year-old’s substance abuse started at age 12, when he began smoking marijuana and drinking alcohol before moving on to heroin and other narcotics. He said he would “mix and match” whatever he had lying around – known as polysubstance abuse.

When Dale relapsed, the couple took a step back – the five months since their completion of drug court suddenly put into perspective.

“If you don’t carry the message, you don’t continually work with other people, go to meetings, pray, and you kind of get away from that. … That’s when you’ll slip up,” Dale said.

“That’s what happened to me. I slipped up.”

Even on the day of his relapse, the first-time father was beaming about his daughter.

“You know, Daelyn’s got three teeth coming in,” he said March 26 as he peered his head into her nursery, gently closing the door behind him.

While drug addiction is increasingly being viewed as a treatable medical condition, people struggling with the disease still face stigma because there are those who refuse to see it as something other than a moral failing.

But it’s what happens after a relapse that matters most, Dale said.

‘You want it back’

For the first time in his life, Dale – who, before Ali, spent most of his adult life in prison for numerous drug- and identify theft-related charges – didn’t pack his bags and run.

Tom Moore, 52, of New Lenox, speaks April 5 during an opiate recovery support group at Peace Lutheran Church in New Lenox. Also pictured are his daughter, Ali Moore, and her boyfriend, Dale Burk, who are recovering heroin addicts. he created the weekly meeting in New Lenox, the grieving father made the 45-minute drive to Naperville to attend a support group hosted by the nonprofit A Man in Recovery.

That’s where he met Tim Ryan, a controversial but well-known antiheroin activist who lost his own son to heroin in 2014.

“I can remember Tom. Half the time, he would just sit there and cry,” said Tim, who heads the nonprofit and helped Tom get his group off the ground.

“Tom had two choices. He could have disappeared and buried his grief, or turned that grief into a positive by helping other parents.”

Tim – a recovering addict – said attending nightly meetings, helping others get access to treatment and spreading the word about recovery keeps him sober. Fellow recovering addicts should do the same, he said.

“It’s easy for an addict to go back and use. That’s our nature. ‘I’m having a good day so I’m going to get high. I’m ‘He could have disappeared’ After Tom’s son died, and before having a bad day, I better get high,’ ” struggle with that for a long time until it makes perfect sense and that’s what you need to do to try to save them.”

He tried to save his son.

Jake – who was a senior at LincolnWay Central High School when he died – struggled from an early age with substance abuse, experimenting with prescription pain medications, ecstasy, acid, various sedatives and heroin.

After stints at rehab in Rockford for his use of heroin and other drugs, Jake returned home to finish his senior year.

But peer pressure, coupled with the allure of drugs, led to a relapse.

When he died March 5, 2014, the 17-year-old had seven drugs in his system – but not heroin. None were reported at lethal levels.

“My son’s body could take no more,” Tom said more than a year after Jake’s death during an opioid abuse education forum at Lincoln-Way West High School.

the high after one or even 10 years of sobriety, said Robert Snipes, director of intensive residential treatment for Stepping Stones, an addiction treatment facility in Joliet.

“That’s one of the battles. The thing about addiction is this is a disease of the brain. There is that part of the brain that is responsible for keeping us alive. It’s responsible for keeping our heart beating, our lungs breathing, to [seek shelter and eat and drink for survival]. The drug works its way to the hierarchy of survival needs,” Snipes said.

After relapsing, Dale returned to oneon-one sessions with his sponsor and attended nightly recovery meetings, calling friends and offering them rides to meetings. He agreed to volunteer at a local church. It helps, he said, to stay busy.

Daelyn, who turns 1 in June, is a big

part of his recovery, too.

“It’s definitely a lot different this time around because this time, I knew exactly what to do. Before, I had nothing to look forward to,” he said. “I didn’t have a family, girlfriend, daughter, nothing like that. By actually gaining that stuff, you want it back. You know what you got to do.”

When they met in 2014 as strangers at a Lake Villa halfway house, Dale and Ali promised each other one thing: If one falls off, the other leaves.

None of that matters now. “[Our recovery] is what brought us together and what will keep us together,” Ali said. “In the end, we’ve been through this before. We went through this journey together.

“He’s worth it to me and I’m worth it to him.”

Tim said. “The hard thing is to change.

And once you start changing ... you don’t ever want to go back to that old way.”

Tom refuses to let his son’s death be in vain. He has his daughter Ali – who is deep in her own recovery – to think about.

“When I found out that heroin was in our town and it was how kids started dying, I would tell people my story,” Tom said. “And people would say, ‘Oh, I have a brother, I have a nephew, I have a neighbor, I have somebody at work whose son or daughter is struggling with the same thing.’ But yet no one would talk about it. And that made me mad.”

There’s only one way out, he said, and that is to talk about it.

“Parents say, ‘Not my kid, not my neighborhood,’” he said, speaking to that small classroom of recovering addicts and parents. “And I always ask them, ‘Well, what if you’re wrong?’ ”

JOLIET – Save the date, bison fans.

On May 7, the U.S. Forest Service’s Midewin National Tallgrass Prairie is hosting its “Midewin Bison Expedition” – a one-day event during which the prairie’s new bison herd can be seen from a closer-than-normal viewing location.

Free shuttle buses will be provided every 15 to 20 minutes by the U.S. Forest Service from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. that day – bringing folks to and from the neighboring towns of Elwood and Wilmington.

Visitors can be picked up near city hall in Elwood, 401 E. Mississippi Ave., and at North Water and Van Buren streets in Wilmington.

Buses will return visitors to either location until 5 p.m.

“This is a perfect fit between Midewin and our neighboring communities,” Acting Prairie Supervisor Kurt Steele said in a news release. “We hope this event will give our visitors the opportunity to experience Midewin’s bison herd and to experience the greater Midewin community.”

Midewin staff and trained vol-

unteers will be available to answer questions and provide interpretive services.

American bison – including four bulls and 23 cows – were reintroduced to the prairie’s pastures in the fall. Now, several cows are pregnant.

“April and May is calving season for bison, so hopefully we’ll have some calves on the ground,” Midewin Range Specialist Kelly Gutknecht said in the news release.

To see bison roam the prairie has been a long-sought dream of the U.S. Forest Service site’s staff since it was established in 1996.

The bison reintroduction is part of an experimental 20-year project to see how the herd’s grazing habits can benefit the area’s tallgrass prairie ecosystem and grassland bird habitat.

The bison expedition will be held in conjunction with the annual Route 66 “Red Carpet Corridor” event in Elwood and Wilmington.

On other days, the bison range can be accessed via the Iron Bridge Trailhead on Route 53 at the intersection of South Chicago and Hoff roads. For a longer trek, the range can also be accessed via the Wauponsee Glacial Trail.

Minooka high school official talks plans to repay state $75K is $1.1 million under budget so far this fiscal year.

Troy said it has been one of the district’s goals to get finances back in the black.

“We’re managing a lot of things to be conservative,” he said. “We’re putting off roof expenses and a lot of capital projects. We’re trying the best we can to match expenses to revenues.”

The district does have one recent unexpected expense: Wind from last week’s storm forced its way underneath the membrane on Central Campus’ roof, Troy said, and separated the adhesion.

The district’s insurance company estimated the damage at about $27,740.

Also Thursday, board members approved accepting a proposal from Wiss, Janney, Elstner Associates Inc. for engineering and material evaluation for the surfaces of the Central Campus tennis courts in an amount not to exceed $20,500.

The courts to be repaired are the group of eight main competitive courts and the four practice courts.

MINOOKA – As have other taxing bodies in the state, Minooka Community High School District 111 was overpaid during the past two years by the Illinois Department of Revenue.

The school’s share, it was announced Thursday, was $75,442 – not a small amount to a school district that is cash-strapped.

Chief School Business Official John Troy told school board members that the IDR mistakenly overpaid taxing bodies statewide $168 million in corporate Personal Property Replacement Taxes in 2014 and 2015.

Troy said he believes it is likely the state will reduce future PPRT payments until the taxing bodies have made up the overpayments to the state.

After Thursday’s meeting, he said he hopes the state will allow the extra funds to be repaid over a couple of years to allow the school to balance the finances.

Business closure law under review

By BOB OKON bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A proposal to give the city of Joliet emergency powers to temporarily shut down businesses that pose a threat to the public is going back to the drawing board for some changes.

The proposal would apply to businesses licensed by the city, and officials said it is meant to deal with criminal activity, particularly illegal drugs.

The Joliet City Council Land Use and Legislative Committee reviewed the proposal last week and asked for the changes.

“We want to make sure there’s a justification for shutting down a business for seven days,” said Councilman Jim McFarland, a member of the committee.

The proposed amendment to city ordinances as presented last week would give the mayor authority to shut down a licensed business for up to seven days with an emergency order with the finding that the “licensed premise will immediately threaten the welfare of the community.”

McFarland said he would like to see a definition of what constitutes a threat to the welfare of the community.

The committee also is considering putting the authority to close business-

es in the hands of the city manager or other officials besides the mayor.

The mayor now has the authority to shut down liquor establishments based on his position as the city’s liquor commissioner. The proposed amendment is modeled on the liquor code.

McFarland, however, noted the mayor does not deal with other business licenses.

“I could see why the mayor would shut down a liquor establishment because he is the liquor commissioner.

But a business license goes through another department,” McFarland said.

Mayor Bob O’Dekirk has said he did not propose the ordinance and has referred questions to the city attorney.

City Attorney Marty Shanahan said the proposed amendment will be reviewed with some likely changes.

Shanahan said the reference to businesses that “immediately threaten the welfare of the community” is taken out of the liquor code and does have specific meanings based on what courts have determined such threats to be.

In addition to drug dealing, he said, such threats have included bribery, shootings, gambling and prostitution.

“Courts have already given the city guidance on those types of situations,” Shanahan said.

Spokesman: Illinois budget impasse to blame, department owed $2.1 million

– including those for crisis response, juvenile justice and psychiatric medications – will also be reduced.

Illinois budget crisis

The department’s community-based mental health outpatient program is set for elimination.

Mental health patients discharged from area hospitals make up the majority of patients served through the program, along with Medicaid and Medicare recipients, according to the department’s website.

Neal Waltmire, a spokesman for the Responsible Budget Coalition, a group of more than 250 organizations throughout Illinois concerned about tax and budget issues, said the cuts to mental health will harm families.

“The failure of leaders in Springfield to put non budget agendas aside and choose revenue to invest in mental health will cost Will County taxpayers

About one-third of the local health department’s budget is funded through grants, some of which come from the state. Illinois is in its 10th month without a budget, and the department has yet to see that money.

“We’d like to emphasize this has nothing to do with any fiscal mismanagement,” Reato said. “Without the state revenue, these programs cannot operate.”

Four behavioral health programs and five family health services programs will be reduced. Areas of family case management, vision and hearing, HIV counseling, prevention and testing, and tobacco control will face reductions. Behavioral health services

Waltmire pointed to a 2013 Illinois Hospital Association report, which noted how when Illinois cut mental health services from 2009 to 2011, the state actually increased its costs by an estimated $18.4 million because of increased emergency room visits and institutional placements.

The Will County Health Department cut 20 jobs late last year in mental health and family health services to avoid a $900,000 deficit. The cuts included 16 union employees and four managers.

Nearly half of local health departments in Illinois have reduced capacity because of the state’s budget crisis, according to a January report from the Illinois Public Health Association. Of those, more than onethird have laid off staff and one-sixth have reduced hours.

JOLIET – Fifty-three full-time Will County Health Department employees will be laid off May 27 as the local department staves off a $2.1 million shortfall caused by Springfield’s political gridlock.

The layoffs will result in reductions across nine programs, department spokesman Vic Reato said. Five managers and 48 full-time union employees represented by American Federation of State, County & Municipal Employees Local 1028 will be let go. The department currently has 316 employees.

AFSCME Local 1028 has been notified. Thirty-day layoff notices will be sent out and the health department is also required to notify the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity, Reato said.

The department’s Board of Health

voted Wednesday – with one member absent – to move forward with the layoffs. All board members present voted yes on the measure.

Defendant testifies in child luring trial

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A Bolingbrook man testified Friday that he began talking to an 11-year-old girl from his car because he believed she was his neighbor’s daughter.

George D. Smith, 69, said he realized it wasn’t the neighbor when he made a U-turn and drove closer, but he still offered assistance because the child appeared to be having trouble carrying two large bags.

Smith is in the midst of a bench trial before Judge Amy Bertani-Tomczak for attempted child abduction from the Feb. 17, 2012, incident in the 100 block of Lexington Drive in Bolingbrook.

Prosecutors said Smith “made a clear attempt at luring the girl” and minimized the amount of contact they’d had when he was questioned by police. “[From] across the street, she was facing me and standing still. She smiled at me but looked distressed [because] she had these two duffel bags,”

Smith said. “I know the school’s pretty far [down the street]. I thought she was struggling.”

Smith testified he realized the girl was not his neighbor, but nevGeorge D. ertheless asked if she Smith wanted to set her bags in the back of his 1969 Ford pickup.

“Did you ask her to get inside the cab area of your truck?” defense attorney Dave Shiffer asked.

“Not at any time,” Smith answered.

Smith testified he’d been on his way to return a defective gas valve to Menards when he offered the ride.

Earlier that day, Smith had driven to a local video store and rented two adult movies, including “Dirty Little Schoolgirls,” he testified.

Smith said he was kept at the police station until nearly 10 p.m. that night, was dropped off at his truck and drove

home to go right to bed, but Will County Assistant State’s Attorney Frank Byers said records from the video store showed he rented three PG- and R-rated films shortly after 8 p.m.

“You then returned all five movies at 9 p.m. the next night. Is it true that when you rented all these movies you didn’t know they keep track of the time of the rental?” Byers asked.

“Just the day of the rental,” Smith acknowledged.

Byers also noted the locations Smith testified seeing the girl on the street did not match the path she said she took to get home.

Mike Klatt, a neighbor of Smith, testified the same girl Smith named as the person he thought he saw had lived between their houses at one time.

But under cross-examination from prosecutor Katie Rabenda, Klatt acknowledged he did not recall if the family had lived there at the time of the incident.

“George has been helpful to everyone and has a soft spot for kids,” Klatt said. “I didn’t invite him to [but] he came as Spider-Man for the kids at a birthday party.”

PEORIA – Caterpillar’s first-quarter adjusted profit met Wall Street’s view, even as sales declined across various categories while it continues to deal with soft product demand.

The mining and construction equipment company lowered its fullyear profit forecast.

Shares slipped in morning trading Friday.

For the three months ended March 31, Caterpillar earned $271 million, or 46 cents per share. A year earlier the company earned $1.25 billion, or $2.03 per share.

Removing restructuring costs, earnings were 67 cents per share.

This met the expectations of analysts surveyed by Zacks Investment Research.

Revenue fell to $9.46 billion from $12.7 billion.

Caterpillar Inc. said Friday that it foresees a full-year adjusted profit of $3.70 per share, down from its prior outlook of $4 per share.

Analysts polled by FactSet expect $3.62 per share.

The company now anticipates 2016 sales and revenues in a range of $40 billion to $42 billion.

Its previous guidance was for sales and revenues between $40 billion and $44 billion.

Caterpillar said that it now expects restructuring costs of about $550 million for the year, up from the $400 million it had previously predicted.

The Peoria-based company said the main reason for the increase in costs was because it decided to end production of on-highway vocational trucks.

At quarter’s end, Caterpillar had 114,300 employees.

That compares with 129,400 in the year-ago period.

The company said in January that it planned to close five plants, causing a loss of about 670 jobs in Illinois and several other states.

The move is part of a broader cost-cutting campaign announced last year that’s expected to affect about 10,000 jobs over three years.

The company’s stock slipped 47 cents to $78.19 in morning trading Friday.

Chicago pushing taxi industry for wheelchair accessibility

CHICAGO – The city of Chicago is offering financial incentives to encourage the taxi and ride-hailing industries to add more wheelchair-accessible vehicles to their fleets.

There are 170 wheelchair-accessible cabs operating in Chicago. Another 200 will be added by 2018 under requirements being phased in for companies that own taxi medallions.

The city is hoping its incentives will speed that up and put another 100 accessible vehicles on the road by the end of this year.

The incentives announced Friday include doing away with a dispatch fee for wheelchair-accessible taxis. Among other incentives, the city is offering medallion owners a $20,000 subsidy toward the purchase of factory-built accessible vehicles.

Money for the incentives comes from a fund the industry pays into with fees for all trips taken by nonwheelchair-accessible vehicles.

President Barack Obama greets actors on stage after watching them perform Shakespeare’s “Hamlet” on Saturday, the 400th anniversary of the playwright’s death, at the Globe Theatre in London. a Syrian refugee camp in Jordan and at the U.N. General Assembly in New York.

Dominic Dromgoole, the Globe’s artistic director, said the world tour has taught him that Shakespeare “is a great aid to communication. He’s a great way of helping people to encounter one another, and discover similarities and also discover differences.”

“I think he has no agenda,” Dromgoole said. “There’s no particular drive within his work to say, this has to be worshipped or this has to be believed.

He presents life, and he presents life with wit and brilliance and enchant-

ment – but it’s life. And everybody understands life.”

The Globe also erected screens along the River Thames, showing short films of excerpts from all 37 of Shakespeare’s plays, filmed in the locations where they were set: “King Lear” at the White Cliffs of Dover; “The Merchant of Venice” in the canal-crossed Italian city; “Timon of Athens” in front of the Parthenon.

In the playwright’s home town of Stratford-upon-Avon, the Royal Shakespeare Company mounted a stage extravaganza, televised live by the BBC. The potpourri of scenes from Shake-

N. Korea: Will halt nuke tests if U.S. stops S. Korea drills

By ERIC TALMADGE The Associated Press NEW YORK – North Korea’s foreign minister said Saturday in an interview with The Associated Press that his country is ready to halt its nuclear tests if the United States suspends its annual military exercises with South Korea.

He also defended the country’s right to maintain a nuclear deterrent and warned North Korea won’t be cowed by international sanctions. And for those waiting for the North’s regime to collapse, he had this to say: Don’t hold your breath.

Foreign Minister Ri Su Yong, in his first interview with a Western news organization, held firm to Pyongyang’s longstanding position that the U.S. drove his country to develop nuclear weapons as an act of self-defense. At the same time, he suggested that suspending the military exercises with Seoul could open the door to talks and reduced tensions.

“If we continue on this path of confrontation, this will lead to very catastrophic results, not only for the two countries but for the whole entire world as well,” he said, speaking in Korean through an interpreter. “It is really cru-

cial for the United States government to withdraw its hostile policy against the DPRK and as an expression of this stop the military exercises, war exercises, in the Korean Peninsula. Then we will respond likewise.” He used the acronym for North Korea’s official name, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea.

Ri, who spoke calmRi Su Yong ly and in measured words, a contrast to the often bombastic verbiage used by the North’s media, claimed the North’s proposal was “very logical.”

“Stop the nuclear war exercises in the Korean Peninsula, then we should also cease our nuclear tests,” he said during the interview, conducted in the country’s diplomatic mission to the United Nations. He spoke beneath portraits of Kim Il Sung and Kim Jung Il, North Korea’s two previous leaders – the grandfather and father of current leader Kim Jong Un. If the exercises are halted “for some period, for some years,” he added, “new opportunities may arise for the two countries and for the whole entire world as well.”

It is extremely rare for top North Korean officials to give interviews to foreign media, and particularly with Western news organizations.

Ri’s proposal, which he said he hoped U.S. policymakers would heed, may well fall on deaf ears.

North Korea, which sees the U.S.South Korean exercises as a rehearsal for invasion, has floated similar proposals to Washington in the past but the U.S. has insisted the North give up its nuclear weapons program first before any negotiations.

The result has been a stalemate between the two countries that Ri said has put the peninsula at the crossroads of a thermonuclear war.

In an initial response to Ri’s remarks, a U.S. official defended the military exercises as demonstrating the U.S. commitment to its alliance with the South and said they enhance the combat readiness, flexibility and capabilities of the alliance.

Sanctions, Ri said, won’t sway the North.

“If they believe they can actually frustrate us with sanctions, they are totally mistaken,” he said. “The more pressure you put on to something, the more emotionally you react to stand up

against it. And this is important for the American policymakers to be aware of.”

Ri, in New York to attend a United Nations’ meeting on sustainable development, said the possibility of conflict has increased significantly this year because the exercises have taken on what Pyongyang sees as a more aggressive and threatening tone – including training to conduct precision “decapitation” strikes on North Korea’s leadership.

This year’s exercises are the biggest ever, involving about 300,000 troops.

Washington and Seoul say they beefed up the maneuvers after North Korea conducted its fifth nuclear test, in January, which also brought a new round of tough sanctions by the U.N. down on Pyongyang’s head. The exercises are set to continue through the end of the month.

Pyongyang, meanwhile, has responded with a series of missile launches and statements in its media that the country has developed its long-range ballistic missile and nuclear warhead technologies to the point that they now present a credible deterrent and could even be used against targets on the U.S. mainland, however not all foreign analysts accept that claim.

LONDON – If all the world’s a stage, William Shakespeare is its architect.

The playwright died 400 years ago Saturday, but remains the world’s most famous writer, living on through endlessly reinterpreted plays and globally known characters, including the tormented prince Hamlet and the starcrossed lovers Romeo and Juliet .

The long-dead Bard is one of Britain’s leading cultural ambassadors, and the anniversary of his death on April 23, 1616, is being marked across Britain with parades, church services and – of course – stage performances. After all, the play’s the thing. (That’s just one of scores of phrases Shakespeare has given the English language).

President Barack Obama took a break from political talks in London to tour Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre on Saturday, listening to Hamlet’s “To be or not to be” soliloquy and admiring the open-air venue – a recreation of the theater, built in 1599, where many of the Bard’s plays were first performed.

The president met a Globe troupe that has taken “Hamlet” on a two-year tour to almost 200 countries. They’ve performed Shakespeare’s tragedy on a tennis court in Kabul, Afghanistan, in

speare and works he inspired – including the musicals “Kiss Me Kate” and “West Side Story” – featured performances by John Lithgow, Judi Dench, Benedict Cumberbatch, Ian McKellen – and even Prince Charles, who strode onstage during a comic sketch to settle a heated actors’ argument about the best way to recite “To be or not to be.”

Earlier, the heir to the British throne laid a wreath on the writer’s grave in Stratford’s Holy Trinity church. And thousands of people – many wearing Shakespeare face masks – watched a theatrical parade through the town 100 miles northwest of London, complete with schoolchildren, strolling actors and a New Orleans jazz band.

Across the country there was more – much more – taking place to celebrate a writer whose influence pops up in unexpected places.

In Trafalgar Square, visitors could listen to Princes in The Tower, “a costumed electro group offering unique interpretations of early music” and named for the tragic children in “Richard III.” Tourism body Visit London promoted ShakeSpeak, a smartphone app that allows users to text like the Bard by auto-completing some of his famous phrases. Type “to be” and it fills in the rest: “or not to be, that is the question.”

An Uber disappointment likely awaits Dear Mr. Berko: Our Morgan Stanley stockbroker will let us get in early on Uber stock, but we’d have to invest a minimum of $250,000. We have the money, but investing that much in one stock makes me nervous.

Morgan Stanley says Uber is worth $63 billion, and we must purchase a minimum of 5,100 shares at $48.77 a share. “This could be the chance of a lifetime,” our broker says. Morgan Stanley can’t let us see audited financials, but my husband’s convinced Uber is “gold!” Your opinion? – LS,

without reading an audited financial statement must be dumber than a three-legged wombat that quacks.

“Stupid is as stupid does.” If you’d like to find out how stupid, buy Uber and then, in three months, tell your Morgan man to sell your 5,100 Uber shares. The difference between what you paid for Uber and what it sells for will measure your stupidity.

Uber’s CEO, Travis Kalanick, recently told the financial media he’s in no hurry to take his fast-growing ride-hailing company public. But hundreds of enthusiastic investors who dropped billions into Uber because

TAKING STOCK Malcolm Berko

Therefore, for your information, I would like to ask some questions: What were Uber’s 2015 and 2014 revenues? What were Uber’s profits in those years? What were Uber’s losses in those years? What does Uber’s balance sheet (assets and liabilities) look like?

Finally, how can anyone imagine that a secretive Uber – which has never earned a dime, has lost billions and may never earn a profit – is worth $63 billion? The answer must be those psychedelic and hallucinatory drugs.

Fidelity, Putnam, T. Rowe Price, Tiger Global Management, Vanguard, The Hartford and other mutual funds stupidly wrote checks and invested heavily in this unicorn. Now some of these big names are getting nervous, and I’d not be surprised if Fidelity marked down its $1.4 billion Uber investment and others did the same.

Buy 5,100 shares of Uber only if Morgan Stanley will guarantee against loss. Some brokers do that for good clients.

The HERALD–NEWS JOLIET – ExxonMobil engineers recently visited Joliet Central and West High School Project Lead the Way pre-engineering classrooms during a learning experience that allowed students to demonstrate their reverse engineering projects.

The students in Erin Wagner, Tim Gonzalez, Chris McGuffey and Dale West’s classes have been working on the project in which students redesign a wooden toy model.

“There are five wooden models that include a helicopter, wagon, sailboat, biplane and truck,” said Wagner. “The students measured all the pieces of the original wooden toy and constructed 3-D models using Autodesk Inventor software.”

After developing the original model, the students decided how they wanted to adapt and modify the toy to improve the design and function. They used the Inventor program to create their innovative toys.

Students formed small groups and delivered mini presentations to explain the issues they saw in the original design and to describe their rationale for

the redesigned toy.

The ExxonMobil engineers circulated around the room viewing students’ presentations, engineering notebooks and portfolios.

“It was great having the engineers in the class,” said Wagner. “They provided an authentic audience and feedback the student can incorporate into upcoming projects.”

Project Lead The Way is the nation’s leading provider of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) programs.

Through a world-class curriculum, high-quality teacher professional development and outstanding partnerships, PLTW helps students develop the skills needed to succeed in the global economy.

OUR VIEW

Aggressive approach is needed on heroin Count yourself lucky if you live in Will County and haven’t been touched by the heroin epidemic.

The crisis was thought to have reached its peak in 2012 when Will County hit an all-time high of 53 overdose deaths in a single calendar year.

There were decreases the following years but in 2015, this killer reared its head again and claimed another 53 victims – 19 of whom were 30 or younger.

As of Friday, at least 18 people are confirmed to have died from heroin-related overdoses in 2016, with eight pending cases still under investigation, according to the Will County Coroner’s Office. That’s compared with the 11 who fatally overdosed by this time in 2015.

If those numbers were any other demographic besides drug users, perhaps there would be more of a public outcry. And we realize it’s hard to garner sympathy for people who have abused drugs, hurting themselves and others in the process.

But heroin affects people of all socioeconomic statuses and neighborhoods. It affects families such as those you will read about in reporter Lauren Leone-Cross’ three-day series, which starts today and runs through Tuesday, about the heroin crisis in Will County.

Heroin is a poison, and it does not discriminate. Ignoring it will bring more heartache.

Those working to curb its use know they are in for a long battle. We need to support them in their endeavors.

We’ve seen amazing results in the county’s drug court program – designed to break the cycle of addiction instead of simply sending drug users to jail – which had graduated 377 students, with less than 10 percent relapsing.

The office of Will County State’s Attorney Jim Glasgow is increasingly pursuing drug-induced homicide charges against drug suppliers when the result is a fatal overdose.

See OUR VIEW, page 46

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

Breaking cycle of crime in county Kristin Love was 16 when she first tried heroin at a party. She kept her addiction a secret for six years, until a drug bust led to her arrest in a McDonald’s parking lot.

“My parents, my family, my significant other, nobody knew,” said Love, now 27. “They might have had suspicions, but nobody knew until I called them from jail.”

This experience has become all too common in Illinois. The state Criminal Justice Information Authority reports that nearly 13,000 inmates in Illinois’ prison system needed substance abuse treatment services during fiscal 2014. The Illinois State Crime Commission describes heroin use as an epidemic.

One way to curb the heroin problem in Illinois is to change the way people who commit drug-related crimes are scrutinized. And Illinois doesn’t have to look far for ideas. In the Joliet

GUEST VIEW Austin Berg area, a drug court program has found a way to break this cycle of crime and addiction at a fraction of the cost of incarceration.

Men and women convicted of crimes related to substance abuse in Will County are eligible for drug court – an 18-month program that trades prison time and a felony record for treatment, counseling and support. Love is one of the many individuals who has been through this program.

Love said she flourished in the drug-court program, in which she received treatment, did volunteer work, returned to school and landed a job – her first.

“I think the longer I did those things, the more I built better feelings about myself – more confidence – and drugs weren’t so

important anymore,” she said.

Since the program was launched 15 years ago, the Will County State’s Attorney’s Office has shepherded hundreds of addicts through it. The results are astounding.

Less than 10 percent of graduates have reoffended, according to the office. But statewide, 45 percent of all offenders return to life behind bars within three years of release – each instance of recidivism costing taxpayers more than $40,000 in court, arrest and prison costs, according to research by the Illinois Sentencing Policy Advisory Council.

The cost of putting more than 300 graduates through Will County’s drug-court program? About $3,000 each.

Meanwhile, the Illinois Department of Corrections pays nearly $22,000 in direct costs per inmate . Add up employee health

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Our jacked-up state

To the Editor: Now the state wants to “tax” us for every mile we drive in Illinois?

What’s next?

I have an idea: Why not tax us for every breath we take?

Never mind, I better not give them any more bright ideas.

Dan Clennon Minooka

Statute of limitations should be extended in abuse cases

To the Editor: Our minds can subconsciously block out memories that are too painful to process, sometimes for decades. That is usually the case with individuals who were traumatized by sexual abuse.

These lengthy periods of self-denial are involuntary. They are a symptom of post-traumatic stress disorder. It is neither “strange” nor “suspect” for these folks to remain silent so long, as defense lawyers often argue. It’s as perfectly natural as coughing is to a cold.

By the time of of these victims acquire the emotional capability to finally seek justice, it is generally too late because of the statue of limitations has expired. It’s

Will County State’s Attorney James Glasgow is a champion of this type of alternative sentencing, overseeing the Will County mental health court, veterans court and drug court.

“We found a tool that works and we’re using it aggressively, ” Glasgow said.

“Because of the heroin problem the way it is,” he said, “it’s critical that these individuals get into drug court not just to avoid prison, not just to avoid a felony conviction, but to stay alive.”

These are not hollow words from Glasgow. He counts Love as one of his employees.

Without a felony on her record, Love was able to pursue legal studies after graduating from drug court, and now works as a legal secretary for the very people who prosecuted her for drug possession – in the Will County State’s Attorney’s Office.

Glasgow came to her interview.

“Finding out … I was getting the job, I think I cried,” Love said. “It was one of my favorite days.”

the cruelest of technicalities. First a person is violated by a predator, then by the law. It’s an assault on top of an assault.

It’s a no-brainer: Scrap this unreasonable and shameful get-out-of-jail-free card. The clock should never run out on these offenses, same as murder and kidnapping. We need to punish the wrongdoers, not the innocent.

Bill Cosby can only be referred to as an alleged felon or hypocrite because, thanks to our twisted legal system, he’ll never have to face trial. He can just kick back laughing, enjoy his billions and thumb his nose at society.

Or how about our local former golden boy, Dennis Hastert? What a piece of work there. He’s getting a token slap on the wrist for a banking violation. And all this boohooing that he’s a poor frail old man and the courts have gotta go easy on him.

These days, Springfield is mired in gridlock. Solutions to some of the state’s most pressing problems are staring lawmakers in the face, yet inaction subsists.

But there’s been a glimmer of hope in the arena of criminal justice reform. Democrats and Republicans came together last year to enact some reforms – and they should do so again now.

Of the nearly 13,000 inmates deemed in need of treatment for substance abuse during fiscal 2014, only half received it. It’s time for Illinois to invest in the state’s more than 60 drug courts. There are upfront costs, but the evidence is clear: this model can dramatically reduce recidivism, ultimately saving scarce taxpayer dollars and, more importantly, putting thousands more Illinoisans on a path to a better life.

Keeping things the same, Glasgow says, is “going to bankrupt us.”

“I think we see that,” he said.

“Compassion is the key to turning the corner.”

Illinois should spend within its means

To the Editor: As I read last Sunday’s paper I could not believe my eyes. Illinois Senate President John Cullerton wants to tax me based on my driving mileage because revenue is down? I’m going to be taxed because I have a vehicle and a valid driver’s license?

How about spending within your means? This is just one more example of why I plan to leave the state of Illinois upon my retirement.

will focus on the implementation of Illinois’ groundbreaking Heroin Crisis Act that includes provisions to address the overuse of prescription painkillers.

These are aggressive initiatives aimed at combating this scourge – and they need to continue.

We need to implore our state lawmakers to pass a budget so social service agencies can focus on providing much-needed treatments to drug users – instead of turning them away.

We need to continue to fund diversion programs like drug court, and insist our children are educated about the realities of drug abuse.

Above all, we must not ignore the terror that is heroin.

Geissler entered Saturday’s Joliet Township Invitational Tennis Tournament at the Joliet West and JCA courts having won 10 straight matches without losing a game, much less a set, and extended it to 11 with a 6-0, 6-0 quarterfinal victory.

Then came what he knew would be strong competition from Plainfield Central junior DJ Colantone and Joliet Co-op sophomore Morgan Red. Geissler slipped past Colantone, 6-0, 3-6, 10-8, in the semifinals and beat Red, 6-3, 6-3, to win the championship at first singles.

“We have three really good singles players here in Red, Geissler and Colantone,” said Joliet coach Kit Gillman, who runs the annual tournament and provided medals through five places in each division.

Rockton Honenegah won the team title with 35 points. Joliet was second with 33. Lemont and Plainfield Central scored 28 each, with Lemont claiming third place on a tiebreaker. JCA had 26, Oak Lawn 15 and Lincoln-Way West and Plainfield South each eight.

“The semifinal match (against Colantone) was definitely tough,” said Geissler, 14-1 on the season. “After not losing a game in 10 matches, it was good to come into this tournament and finally have some good competition.

“Red’s a good player, too. These were two of the toughest matches I will have during the season. It’s good practice for state.”

Geissler said Red’s forte is “a really big serve. Once it got into a point, I tried to keep it deep and away from the net. I tried to keep my unforced errors low.”

BASEBALL: JOLIET CATHOLIC 6, LOCKPORT 2

By DICK GOSS dgoss@shawmedia.com

“That discouraged them from running,” he said. “Nobody stole on him.”

“First, you have to your cap to Drake Fellows,” Satunas said. “It’s a scratch game when he’s on the mound.

You can’t make mistakes. That was a big run they scored in the first inning, and in the four-run inning, they didn’t hit the ball that far out of the infield much.

“They did put the ball in play and put pressure on us, but we can control that better. We can’t make those mistakes against a good team, which they are.”

Lockport left-hander Ryan Gabriel went the distance and limited JCA to three hits but was victimized by the defensive letdowns. The first-inning damage was minimized, however, when Howard pulled a shot ticketed for extra bases with two runners on and two outs, and right fielder Matt Harder made a diving catch running toward the right-field line.

“Ryan Gabriel did a great job against some of their really good hitters,” Satunas said. “We’ve been looking for a No. 3 behind Mike Stevens and Ben Davis, and he could be it.”

Gavin Lovesky had two hits for the

• TENNIS Continued from page 56 “I was trying to be more consistent than I was,” Red said. “But I was making more mistakes. I played him (Geissler) in a three-setter last year, and both of us have progressed a lot since then. I just didn’t close out some of the points I needed to. I knew it would be a grind, and I tried to grind him, but he was coming with some good shots.”

Red was at state last year as a freshman, when he partnered with Tom Carney, who is playing at Ball State.

“I actually prefer doubles,” Red said. “Singles is fun, too, but you’re out there by yourself. You have to be more mentally tough.”

JCA coach Scott Allgood said Geissler’s championship “is well deserved. He is true team leader, what a captain should be. He has high expectations for himself and the rest of our team.”

The Hilltoppers’ No. 1 doubles team of seniors Jordan Missig and Jared Hippman had the misfortune of drawing the eventual champions from Hononegah in their first match at first doubles, but the Hilltoppers’ duo did go on to claim fifth place.

Meanwhile, Joliet had the runnerup at first doubles as Louis Diaz

Joliet Township’s Morgan Red returns a serve Saturday against Joliet Catholic’s Jack Geissler during the Joliet Township Invitational in Joliet. and Tim Spesia reached the finals before dropping a 6-2, 6-2 decision to the champions from Hononegah.

“We have played well most of this season and last season,” Spesia said.

“It kind of keeps getting better with each match. We went to state last year to watch Morgan (Red) and Tom Carney play. We want to make a run

now and try to get to state ourselves.

“These guys that beat us today, I never heard of them, but they are very good. They beat Lemont (Faraz Longi and Peter Rogers) in the semifinals, which is always something.”

Meanwhile, Joliet not only had the runnerup in Red, but the Tigers sported the champion at second singles in

Porters. KC Simonich doubled off the right-field fence to help ignite JCA’s four-run inning, and Joe Buhay doubled and scored on Justin Conant’s sacrifice fly to make it a 6-0 game in the fourth.

Despite the cold, $500 was raised on Military Appreciation Night. JCA wore green jersey with Marines on the back. Lockport’s camouflaged jerseys said, “Thank You” on the back with the United States flag on the front. Several veterans were introduced before the game and talked about over the P.A. system during the game. Shirts like the ones the players wore were on sale during the game.

“This military appreciation game is all Andy,” Voss said of Satunas. “Every single one of us has a personal story to tell about someone they are close to serving our country.

“This is our third year playing in this, under the lights. It’s become a Will County staple.”

“This night is about honoring service men and women,” Satunas said.

“That keeps this in perspective. These kids are going to work with people who will come home from the service. It’s good for them to experience this.”

Kyle Brick. He did not lose a set in his three victories and finished with a 6-0, 6-1 victory over a Hononegah player.

Plainfield Central had the thirdplace finishers at first and second singles as Colantone won his final match, 6-1, 6-2, and Quin Cockerill beat Lemont’s Steven Santutti, 6-2, 6-0. The Wildcats were fourth at first doubles as Sheldon Ticala-Christian Ngo lost the third-place match to Lemont’s Longi-Rogers, 6-1, 6-1.

“It was a good day,” Plainfield Central John Bayer said. “In four of the five spots, we got out of the first round. The way the weather has been, the kids still need to play a lot.

Half of team is sophomores and they are learning the quicker rhythm of the game.

“This tournament was good for them. As usual, Kit (Gillman) did a nice job running it.”

Lemont’s points came largely from doubles. Besides Faraz-Longi finishing third at first doubles, Charlie Cannon-Matt Retzke won the title at third doubles.

“It was a very nice day,” Lemont coach Jon DeGuzman said. “There were good teams here and we made a great showing. Our doubles played really well. I’m pleased with what we accomplished. This will help prepare us for the future.”

LOCKPORT – When you face Joliet Catholic senior right-hander Drake Fellows, you can’t afford to give away any runs, much less five.

That was the fate Lockport suffered under the lights Friday as Fellows and the Hilltoppers posted a 6-2 nonconference victory at Ed Flink Field on the annual Military Appreciation Night.

JCA (7-7) plated an unearned run in the first inning and four unearned runs in the third, when the Porters (8-5) committed four errors, to go up 5-0. The Hilltoppers were in no serious danger after that.

“You can look at the errors two ways,” JCA coach Jared Voss said.

“I’m sure Andy (Satunas, the Lockport coach) is not happy about them. We’ve been on that end of it. It can get frustrating.

“Looking at it from the offensive end, though, we put pressure on their defense. I think it’s a combination of both.”

Fellows worked five innings, allowing one run on six hits while striking out 10 and walking one. He stranded

two runners in three different innings.

Left-hander Jack Howard worked the last two winnings and allowed a run on two hits in the seventh, when a double play 6-4-3 double play started by freshman shortstop Jared Cushing helped snuff out Lockport’s threat for another big inning.

The Porters’ Friday began when they traveled to Homewood-Flossmoor to complete a suspended game and scored 10 runs in the top of the ninth to go ahead 13-3 before claiming a 13-7 victory. That meant the JCA game, originally scheduled for 6 p.m., did not begin until 7:17.

“I really appreciated them being flexible and waiting for us to get back,” Satunas said.

The cold after sunset did not bother Fellows.

“When you’re on the mound, you’re warm,” he said. “My arm was live. The slider was hard. All my pitches were working.

“They have a good lineup, but if I get my pitches over, I still have a good shot at getting them out.”

Fellows said one thing that helped was catcher Dan Devine throwing so well to second in warmups.

GIRLS TRACK AND FIELD: MARSZALEK INVITATIONAL

By JEFF DE GRAW Shaw Media Correspondent

• Sunday, April 24, 2016

LOCKPORT – Lockport hosted the 16-team Christine Marszalek Girls Invitational track and field meet Friday night.

Downers Grove South won with 81 points, followed by Downers Grove North with 68. The host Porters were third with 58. Providence Catholic scored 40 points to finish sixth and Lincoln-Way Central was 13th.

Marszalek, the longtime Lockport teacher and coach retired in 2006, but still works the finish line.

“Kent Irvin did this 11 years ago and this is such a nice honor,” she said. “I enjoy this a lot. I’ve been working the finish line since 1979 and Kent once told me that everyone who has ever crossed the finish line at a track meet knows who I am.”

On a cold, windy night, Lockport won the 4x800 relay (9:55.63) and Aubrey Friedrich in the 3,200 meters (11:45.98).

The Porters were in third place in the relay when anchor Kayla Isom received the bottom and brought them to victory.

“When I got the baton I knew it was time to go,” she said. “I’m a really competitive person and I wanted was to catch them all. This is really exciting.

It’s not just me, it’s great for all of us.”

Morgan Bollinger, who led off the relay and placed third in the 1,600 (5:19.71), said of the relay, “We run better because we are running for each other, and that what makes a relay fun, it’s the team concept. Plus we have a great tradition at Lockport of our 4x800 relay doing well at state.”

Jorie Beaumont and Kate Wojciewicz were the other members of the relay.

“That was fun,” said Friedrich, a sophomore, in winning the 3,200. “I’m happy with my time, considering how windy it was going up the backstretch.

We all warmed up a little early, but I’m happy with the effort and it’s a good step in getting ready for the sectionals.

That meet will be here.”

“We held our own and I’m pleased with our effort,” Lockport coach Joe Kravitz said. “We have improved a lot in all aspects of the program over the last few years. Kayla (Isom) ran well and she is really figuring it out.

Carolyn Dietz (third in the pole vault and triple jump) is just a great allaround athlete that we could put anywhere. We are excited about how some of our sprint relay’s are running, especially the 4x200. They work hard and really want to make it to state.”

Providence coach Tom Lenahan noted the importance of attending a meet of this caliber.

“The competition is great,” he said.

“This is good for the girls to compete at this level. There are very few 2A school here and this gives everyone, especially the younger team members, a chance to see the competition. We could have gone to an easier meet, but this shows we can compete with the big schools.”

Lincoln-Way Central had a second place from junior Jenna Diers in the 800 in 2:16.27.

“It was good to race an open 800,” she said. “We used a little different strategy tonight and it worked out really well. I felt smooth and it’s one of my best times ever. My goal is to make it to finals at state and then place.”

60 BOYS TRACK AND FIELD: DOWNERS GROVE SOUTH INVITATIONAL

Minooka wins invite, Lockport takes fourth

By CURT HERRON cherron@shawmedia.com

DOWNERS GROVE – Things didn’t necessarly go as expected for the Minooka boys track and field team Friday, but it was still good enough to produce a championship.

With coach Nick Lundin forced to juggle a few things, the Indians not only won their third straight invitational of the outdoor season but also claimed their third consecutive title at Downers Grove South’s Cohoon Invite.

Minooka scored 83.33 points to edge Oak Park and River Forest by six points for top honors in the 16-team meet. Neuqua Valley (67) placed third and Lockport (51.33) fourth.

The Indians received titles from Justin Wolz in the 300 hurdles (39.07 seconds), Quintin Durov in high jump (6 feet, 7 inches) and their 4x100 relay (:42.28) of Colin Marchio, Maceo Findlay, Brandon Adams and Wolz.

“It feels great to put something together like this with all the good teams here,” Wolz said. “It’s definitely a great step forward. Probably the biggest thing this year is that every

event on the track and especially in the field, we feel confident that we’re going to place. When you’re getting points in nearly every event, great things happen.

“Running in the relays, it seems like every meet we’re accomplishing all that we want and in the hurdles, I just keep on plugging along. We have so many guys in the relays who not only can step up, but want to step up and be a part of something like that.

People are excited to cheer each other on and it’s an awesome team to be a part of.”

Coach Tom Razo’s Porters also claimed three titles, with sophomore John Meyer winning shot put (62-5) and discus (179-2), and the 4x200 relay (1:29.92) of Chris Gargano, Derrius Rodgers, Brandon Vazquez and Sheldon Snapp also taking first.

Meyer, who recorded the state’s top shot put last week (63 feet), broke the oldest meet records, which both dated to 1997. He smashed the mark in shot put by 4-8 and improved the standard in discus by 0-9. He won the discus title by 11-8 and shot by 3-3.

“I started off around 55-11, which was a good opener, and then I decided

to switch the spin and go with a different technique, and I’ve had lots of success with it,” Meyer said. “We’ve had a couple of my teammates change to that technique, too. My goal was to hit 60-0 again since I want to be consistent. And I had a PR and broke the school record with a 179-2.

“We have a lot of guys who are really friendly, so we can push each other and even though I don’t know much about running, I can still push them and they can push me in throwing, too.”

Durov improved an inch from his winning effort from a week ago at the Minooka Invite and ranks among the state’s top five high jumpers.

“I’m looking to win state this year, that’s my goal,” Durov said. “Good competition pushes me and that’s why I got a PR. We’ve gotten better since our first meet. We keep improving and making our lineups better each week and we’re hoping to place downstate as a team. This is like a family and we all support each other. We treat it like a close-knit family and I love that.”

Also for Minooka, Soren Knudsen was third in the 3,200 (9:18.29) and 1600 (4:22.07). The 4x200 relay (1:31.56) of

Adams, Findlay, Junior Rodriguez and Steve Lasinis also took third. Lasinis was second in triple jump (42-7), Marcus Hayden tied for second in pole vault (14-0) and was fourth in high jump (5-11), Kevin Lam placed third in shot put (53-6) and Brennan Loughran tied for fourth in pole vault (13-0).

On most nights, Rodgers would have set meet records in the 100 and 200. While he was .08 better than the old 200 mark (21.67), he was edged by Galesburg’s Josh Eiker (20.83). Eiker also set a meet record in the 100 (10.48) while Rodgers (10.63) was second, breaking the old record by .08. Both of Eiker’s times are state bests.

“I got a PR in the 100 and even though I didn’t PR in the 200, I was glad that I could push Eiker,” Rodgers said. “Our relay was good, but we know that we’re faster than that.

We’re off to a good start and moving in the right direction but still have work to do. State will be huge and my eyes are on the prize. I hope to compete as well as possible and be top two or three there.”

Also for the Porters, Wade Walder tied for fourth place in pole vault (130).

BOYS VOLLEYBALL: MINOOKA INVITATIONAL

Plainfield North rallies past hosts to win invite title

By CURT HERRON cherron@shawmedia.com MINOOKA – Things weren’t looking promising for Plainfield North’s boys volleyball team after falling to the hosts, 25-16, in the first set of Saturday’s championship match of the Minooka Invite.

After all, the Indians had captured 15 straight victories since dropping their opener and were coming off a three-set victory at Wheaton Warrenville South earlier in the week.

But the Tigers managed to rally from a pair of late two-point deficits in the middle set and bounced back from some close calls that didn’t go their way in the finale to pull out a 1625, 26-24, 19-17 win, which avenged a 30-28, 25-16 loss April 7 in Channahon.

North came close to not making the finals. It needed to win the second set of a pool match with Plainfield South in order to go 6-2 in sets and force a three-way tie with Neuqua Valley and the Cougars. The Tigers won the tiebreaker based on fewest points allowed.

“We saw Minooka earlier in the season and just didn’t play well against them,” North’s Kyle Piekar-

“This shows the strength of the team and of our guys. We’re all good friends and are working hard but also having a good time. Our passing is good, our sets have really improved and we’re trying different lineups, so we’re looking good for the end of the season. None of us have reached our potential yet and we still have a lot training before regionals.”

Kyle Piekarski Plainfield North volleyball player

ski said. “But we came back strong today. The second set was really good motivation and the third set was rough since there were a bunch of questionable calls back and forth.

“This shows the strength of the team and of our guys. We’re all good friends and are working hard but also

having a good time. Our passing is good, our sets have really improved and we’re trying different lineups, so we’re looking good for the end of the season. None of us have reached our potential yet and we still have a lot training before regionals.”

In the finale, Minooka (15-2) jumped out to a 6-3 lead but North (173-2) rallied to get back in the shortened set. A block by Evan Robeck (two blocks) gave the Tigers a 13-11 lead, but the Indians tied it at 13 on a kill by Luke Hermann (four kills).

Then North used kills by Alex Pasek (five kills), Robeck and Quinn Isaacson (eight kills, three aces) for three straight match points, but Minooka was able to stay alive each time. After a net violation and red card gave the Indians a 17-16 lead, the Tigers used a kill by Isaacson, a net violation and a block from Pasek and Piekarski (eight kills, two blocks) to end things.

“Our coach did a great job of calming us down after game one,” Isaacson said. “They’re a great team so we knew that we had to play our best after that and we came out on top. This was a big win for our whole team. But we’ll see them again in two weeks at

our place.

“We’re all like best friends, so on the court we don’t let anything get to us. The main thing is that we all have fun, no matter what the score is.

We keep our heads up and that’s what got us through games two and three.

We have to stay together and remain focused. We have to keep our eyes on the goal of being successful in the playoffs and see where it takes us.”

In the middle set, North went up 15-13 on a block by Piekarski and 1614 on a kill by Pasek, but Minooka took a 22-20 lead on a kill by Brandon Baranski (15 kills) and made it 23-21 on a net serve.

A four-hit call made it 24-23 for the hosts before Piekarski got a kill and block.

The score was tied 11 in the opener when the Indians scored seven of the next eight points. Baranski had four kills off assists from Shane Chetney (four kills) during the run while Danny Beaudin added a kill and Grant Ooms (four kills, two blocks) contributed a block.

“We made some mental mistakes and we’ll work on correcting them for future games,” Indians coach Janel Grzetich said.

JOLIET – What senior left-hander Joe Kmiec began Thursday, senior righthander Jake Kieffer finished Friday.

With a major assist from junior right fielder Jeremiah Lebron’s threerun homer that came shortly before the game was suspended Thursday, the duo pitched Bolingbrook to a 5-1 SouthWest Suburban Blue baseball victory over Joliet Central.

Lebron’s homer that landed near the center-field scoreboard capped a four-run fourth inning that gave the Raiders (8-7, 3-1) and Kmiec a 5-1 lead.

The game was suspended because of stormy weather after four innings. Kmiec allowed two hits, one a run-scoring double by Luke DeBenedetti in the third inning, and struck out seven while walking nobody.

When play resumed Friday, Kieffer struck out five, walked nobody and retired nine of the 10 batters he faced.

“We had quite a bit of strikeouts looking,” Central coach Kevin Fitzgerald said. “We have to do a better job of mental preparation – swing the bat.”

“Joey (Kmiec) did an excellent job and Jake (Kieffer) came in today and really

filled the zone,” Bolingbrook coach Scott Thyer said. “He fought off some tough hitters that they have in their lineup.”

Joseangel Ruvalcaba pitched three shutout innings Friday for the Steelmen (5-11, 0-4).

“Both pitchers today did a decent job,” Fitzgerald said. “We made some nice plays defensively, too. Jorge (Vega) made a real nice catch in left field, and Luke (DeBenedetti) made some good plays at shortstop.”

Among the three hits Ruvalcaba allowed was Lebron’s fourth straight hit.

Maliek Wade and Kellen Quigley both chipped in two hits and an RBI. Wade tripled and scored on Quigley’s double in the first inning.

Thyer said Lebron’s 4-for-4 game gave him seven straight hits. The homer, which came off Central starter Jose Martinez, was his first.

“The first of many more to come,” he said with a smile.

Lebron is the No. 3 hitter and a key to the lineup.

“I really feel the atmosphere on our team is different this year,” he said. “We all have such a competitive nature. Everyone hustles. The players lead each other. We’re not waiting for the coaches to lead us.”

Bolingbrook beats Joliet Central

Blackhawks rally to force Game 7

By JAY COHEN The Associated Press

CHICAGO – Artem Anisimov, Trevor van Riemsdyk and Dale Weise scored during the Blackhawks’ dominant second period, and the Hawks beat the St. Louis Blues, 6-3, on Saturday night to send their first-round playoff series to Game 7.

Andrew Shaw added a third-period goal in his return from a one-game suspension for using a gay slur during the Hawks’ 4-3 loss in Game 4.

Andrew Ladd had a goal and an assist as the Hawks improved to 15-1 in their past 16 Game 6s in the playoffs.

The Hawks trailed, 3-1, in the series, but stayed alive with a 4-3 double-overtime victory in St. Louis on Thursday.

Then, the defending Stanley Cup champions trailed, 3-1, after one period in Game 6, but found a way again.

Game 7 is Monday night.

Vladimir Tarasenko, Alex Pietrangelo and Scottie Upshall scored for St. Louis, which lost in the first round of the playoffs in each of the last three seasons.

Brian Elliott made 30 saves.

Trailing, 3-1, after one period and perhaps their best period of the season. facing the possible end of their title With St. Louis center Kyle Broddefense, the Hawks roared back with ziak in the box for hooking, Anisimov

got the Hawks within one when he poked home a rebound opportunity for his third goal of the series. That seemed to spark the Hawks, yet Elliott made a couple of nice stops on Richard Panik and Marian Hossa to keep the Blues in front.

But the Hawks only turned up the pressure from there.

Panik left the puck for a streaking Jonathan Toews, and the captain slid it over to van Riemsdyk for the tying goal at 12:21.

Spurred on by a raucous crowd of 22,260, which stood and applauded for a whole TV timeout at one point, the Hawks went ahead to stay when Artemi Panarin passed from behind the net to Weise for a one-timer at 16:18.

It was Weise’s first goal since he was acquired in a trade with Montreal on Feb. 26. It also was his sixth career playoff score, including a pair of overtime winners during his time with the Canadiens.

Shaw’s third goal of the series, a power-play tally off a slick pass from Patrick Kane, made it 5-3 at 16:53 of the third, and Hossa added an empty-netter.

When I talked a couple of weeks ago with Glen Marcum, co-chairman of the Joliet Township Athletic Booster Club Night of Champions, he told me there was a surprise coming for Thursday’s event at the IBEW 176 Hall.

He said fans of the year for Central and West would be named that night, but it was a secret who they would be. We all would learn their identities the night of the banquet.

Marcum is nothing if not honest.

He had no clue what was up.

Chris Olson, the district director and co-chairman of the Night of Champions, surprised his partner with the announcement that Marcum was the fan of the year for both Central and West. A Central graduate, Marcum was presented with a table like the ones that are in the cafeteria of the new Joliet Central Student Center.

“We have a banner to place in each gym, and year to year we will continue to honor the fan of the year,” Olson said.

“When I first came here from Plainfield, I knew this booster club was important to Joliet Township athletics. He (Marcum) is the most caring, the hardest working and most compassionate person I have ever seen.”

Olson said he thinks of Marcum as a brother, then corrected himself. “Actually, I don’t listen to my brother, but I do listen to Glen. In that sense, he is more like a father figure.”

Marcum injected some humor into his thank-yous and added, “It’s been my honor and privilege to do this, but as Chris said, we’re done.”

That’s right, the banquet that Marcum and Olson so ably have orchestrated the past 12 years will fall into someone else’s hands beginning in 2017.

This year, more so than any of the previous 11, emphasis was on the present.

Jeff Corcoran, who resigned as basketball coach at Central after last season, and Terry Piazza, former baseball coach in the combined program, were honored. Piazza was a standout athlete at Central, graduating in 1990.

“I can’t say enough about the staff I have had to work with the last six years (as Central’s head coach), and I can’t say thank you enough to Chris Olson and (Central athletic director) Steve Locke,” Corcoran said. “It’s

Not only did Piazza’s baseball teams have success in the combined program era, but he more recently has coached two sectional champion bass fishing teams.

Amy DiForti and Jeff Bailey, the respective head coaches of Amy DiForti the Joliet West state championship competitive cheerleading and girls bowling teams, accepted awards on behalf of their teams.

West athletic director Steve Millsaps – he of the blinding yellow sports jacket – explained how the cheerleaders “turned learning into winning.”

Millsaps pushed the auction bidding for a signed state championship banner to more than $400 but finally was outbid by West Principal Teresa Gibson. She promptly presented the banner to DiForti, a gesture met with an ovation.

“This whole thing is hard to put into words,” DiForti said. “The kids acted like state champions in everything they did. We have a 3.35 team

GPA. I’m proud of that, too.”

West trailed leader Providence by .06 of a point entering the second and final day at state. DiForti said her assistant, Becky Stortz, “created the final practice plan that led to the state championship.”

Millsaps recalled how he had to convince Bailey to take the job as coach of the girls bowling team, which included Bailey’s then-freshman daughter, Taylor.

“After that first season, I tried to quit probably for about the third time,” Bailey said. “But whenever I went to see Mr. Millsaps about quitting, he’d just say, ‘Get out of my office.’

“This year, I’m not going to quit.

Maybe when I finally have my evaluation with Steve, he’ll tell me I’m fired.”

Much like DiForti credited Stortz, Bailey said he would not be talking about a state championship team with the contributions of his assistant, Larry Warwick.

DiForti also was honored as the Tiger of the Year, and longtime Joliet Central coach Pat O’Connell was cited as the “Steelman of the Year.”

“As far as I’m concerned, Amy was

the Tiger of the Year even before this state championship,” Millsaps said of DiForti.

“I can’t think of a more worthy Steelman of the Year than Pat O’Connell,” Locke said.

Locke’s talk about O’Connell was interrupted with occasional laughter, whenever old photos of O’Connell appeared on the screen in the background.

“I know where to hitch my wagon,” O’Connell said, complimenting all the coaches he worked under.

The O’Connell family members, many of whom are regulars at the banquet, were out in force.

“Don’t worry, I’m not going to name all the O’Connells who are here,” O’Connell said. “We come from a family of coaches, and it all started with one person, my dad (the late Dale O’Connell Sr.).”

This has been a remarkable 12year run for Marcum and Olson.

Under their guidance, the Night of Champions has become a truly special event. That hopefully will continue with new leadership.

By PAUL LADWESKI The Associated Press CHICAGO – The White Sox are off to a hot start even with slugger Jose Abreu struggling.

Abreu didn’t exactly break out of his funk Saturday. He timed his one hit well, however, to keep the Sox rolling.

The slump-ridden Abreu hit an RBI single with one out in the bottom of the 11th inning, leading the Sox to a 4-3 victory over the Texas Rangers. He began the day with a .180 batting average, three home runs and seven RBIs. “I’m very confident that I’m going to produce to the level of my offense,” said Abreu, who had only two hits in his previous 35 at-bats. He was 1 for 6 on Saturday.

“I need to work, but I need (to) do it for confidence, also.”

The winner was a hard grounder to left field against a fiveman infield.

“When you see that kind of formation, that’s something that motivates you. At least I took it that way,” Abreu said through an interpreter. “I’m struggling, but when I saw that, I said, ‘Hey, this is my moment.’ ” The Sox hope Abreu can use the hit as a springboard to bust this slump.

“You’re always looking for a silver lining that makes you feel good,” manager Robin Ventura said. “Josie getting a hit right there, it’s something to build off of. ... That’s a step in the right direction.”

Jimmy Rollins grounded into a forceout at the plate before Abreu delivered the second game-ending hit of his career.

Matt Albers (1-0) pitched a scoreless inning, his 32nd in a row dating back to last season.

Reds hit 4 HRs to beat Cubs

By JOE KAY The Associated Press CINCINNATI – Eugenio Suarez and Adam Duvall hit threerun homers in the sixth inning as the Cincinnati Reds finally broke through against the Cubs’ dominant pitching to claim a 13-5 win Saturday night.

A victory would have given the Cubs (13-5) their best start since 1907, the year they won the first of their back-to-back World Series titles. A four-homer splurge ended the Cubs’ domination of its NL Central rival.

This series opened with Jake Arrieta’s second career no-hitter in a 16-0 win Thursday night. Jon Lester kept it going, throttling the Reds in an 8-1 victory the next night. John Lackey couldn’t hold a 3-2 lead in the sixth inning Saturday night.

Suarez’s homer off Lackey (3-1) put the Reds up 5-3 and started a seven-run inning. Duvall connected off Trevor Cahill, and Scott Schebler followed with a solo homer. The Reds hadn’t hit three homers in an inning since 2012.

Joey Votto later hit a two-run shot on a night when the Reds gave away Votto superhero bobbleheads. The four homers were a season high for Cincinnati, as were the 13 runs.

Blake Wood (2-0) got the win in relief of Dan Straily, who gave up three runs in 42/3 innings, including Addison Russell’s homer.

Cincinnati’s comeback ended the Cubs’ streak of eight straight wins over the Reds since last season. They’d gone 5-0 against the Reds this season, outscoring them 46-7.

The Cubs had won their past six games in Cincinnati overall, their best such streak since 1945-46.

The last time the Reds hit three homers in an inning was May 21, 2012, when Mike Leake, Zack Cozart and Drew Stubbs connected off the Braves’ Mike Minor.

Arrieta improved to 4-0 with his no-hitter. Lackey was trying to go 4-0 for the first time in his career. The last time the Cubs had a pair of pitchers win their first four starts was 1918 with Hippo Vaughn and Phil Douglas.

er innings. It was only the second time in 52 career starts the right-hander reached double digits in strikeouts – the other was on July 6, 2014, when he fanned 11 at San Diego.

He threw a career-high 121 pitches, 78 of them strikes. He walked three, got all but six outs via strikeouts and held the Twins hitless over his final five innings. The 15 Ks were five more than he totaled in his first three starts.

WASHINGTON – Sometimes there’s really no explaining why a pitcher not known for strikeouts suddenly turns into a strikeout artist.

The Washington Nationals had no shortage of theories, however, after Tanner Roark fanned a career-high 15 and allowed only two hits over seven innings Saturday in a 2-0 Earnhardt wins Xfinity victory over the Minnesota Twins. race at Richmond Roark (2-2), a 2004 Wilimington High RICHMOND, Va. – Dale Earnhardt Jr. domiSchool graduate, twice struck out the side and fanned at least two strikeouts in four oth- nated all day and regained the lead on a late

It also was the first time he’s ever won in one of his own cars, which he said “makes it a little better.”

The victory capped off a lucrative few days for JR Motorsports. Earnhardt said Unilever, the maker of Hellmann’s mayonnaise and a team partner since 2009, has signed on to sponsor the team’s Xfinity cars for 20 races in 2017-18.

drives.

Caley’s first-grade teacher, Kimmy Sorg, now a reading specialist at Ridge Elementary School in Plainfield, nominated Trepac for the award. Sorg said Caley, even at age 6, was sweet and kind to everyone.

“She was one of those first-graders who smiles all the time and is happy to be at school,” Sorg said.

Ridge Elementary eventually became a drop-off site for the stuffed animals, and accumulates 30 to 50 each time the school holds a collection, Sorg said. When Sorg learned about the Red Cross award, she immediately thought of nominating Trepac.

“I’m proud of her for using her cause to help other people,” Sorg said.

“It’s a real blessing that I got to see her grow up into a productive citizen.”

Neither currently requires treatment, just monitoring, Wendy said. For the rest of her life, Caley must avoid any activities that cause jarring of her neck: horseback riding, roller coasters, go-carts, trampolines or changes in barometric pressure, such as those experienced when scuba diving.

Frightening news

Toward the end of eighth grade, Caley began having headaches, numbness and vision loss, said her mother, Wendy Trepac. Caley’s doctor ordered an MRI, which diagnosed the disorder.

According to the Mayo Clinic website, Chiari malformation occurs when brain tissue extends into the spinal canal. Doctors wanted to perform brain surgery immediately, Wendy said, but agreed to delay it for several months.

“She was freaking out and having anxiety about missing the start of freshman year. How would she be able

Trepac stands inside her Plainfield home in 2014 surrounded by the stuffed animals she collected for sick children. to catch up after missing so many new things?” Wendy said. “So we asked if we could please postpone it until after she started school and got in the swing of things, since she did need to be home-schooled after the surgery.”

Caley had brain surgery in November 2013 to relieve pressure and prevent further damage. Surgery doesn’t cure the condition, Wendy said.

Because of the Chiari malformation, Caley has scoliosis – a sideways curve

While Caley was in the ICU after surgery, her heart broke for the other sick children, including the babies and toddlers. So at her one-year anniversary, Caley decided to collect a few animals and take them to Rush University Medical Center in Chicago, where she had had the surgery.

That few became 700 and Caley needed a trailer to transport them. Encouraged, she decided to collect stuffed animals the following year, as well.

In 2014, Caley collected 900 and donated them to both Rush and John H. Stroger Jr. Hospital of Cook County in Chicago, Wendy said.

Then in 2015, Caley gathered more than 1,000 and gave them all to the second hospital because the need was greater at the low-income facility, Wendy said.

“Her goal now is to bring this into other states,” she said.

Caley’s outreach project is now officially named Comfort Fur Kids. As of April, it’s also officially a nonprofit.

And Caley is expanding her efforts while battling the effects of her Chiari malformation – fatigue, headaches and vision problems – as she pushes forward with her goal of becoming a teacher.

In fact, before Caley can bask in Thursday’s honor, she will have more MRIs on Monday and Tuesday. The amazing part? She can’t understand why the Red Cross is making a fuss about her.

“It’s overwhelming,” she said.

Wendy feels Caley’s attitude underscores why her efforts impress people.

“I don’t think she even realizes how many people she’s affecting. She’s just so humble about it,” Wendy said. “She says, ‘I’m just a girl who wanted to help somebody.’”

ROMEOVILLE – What does it mean to have human dignity? What does love in action look like? Is nonviolent action the most effective way to establish justice?

These are some of the questions that Lewis University students, faculty, and staff answered on this year’s Civil Rights & Nonviolent Conflict Social Justice Pilgrimage.

Over an eight-day period, the pilgrims visited over 30 different sacred sites pertaining to slavery, the civil rights movement and current race-related issues in five cities – Memphis, Tennessee; Birmingham, Alabama; Montgomery, Al-

abama; Selma, Alabama; and Ferguson, Missouri.

The pilgrimage was led by Jim Burke, professor of theology and peace studies; William Riley, sophomore aviation administration and public policy student; and Sean Ruane, coordinator of social justice education in university ministry.

Seven student participants on the spring break pilgrimage were Trevor Doloski of New Lenox, Anthony Esparza of Channahon, Brittany Hansen of Morris, Eddie Ibarra of Chicago’s Archer Heights neighborhood, Kaitlyn Sendzik of Chicago’s Chicago Lawn neighborhood, Kylie Walsh of Woodridge and Nia White of Steger.

Conditions cause painful urination Dear Dr. K: I’m a woman in my 50s, and every so often it is painful for several days when I urinate. The doctor tests me, says I don’t have a urinary tract infection, and that there’s nothing to do. It’s true that it goes away, but I’d like some relief when it hurts. Is there anything I can do?

Dear Reader: Urinary tract infections are a common cause of painful urination, but there are other causes as well. And those other causes can be treated. Here’s what you need to know before you talk again to your doctor.

There are three different types of common urinary tract infections, involving three different parts of the urinary tract.

• Urethritis is an inflammation of the urethra. The urethra is the short tube that goes from the bladder to the outside world.

Urethritis can be caused by the bacteria that produce the other two types of urinary tract infections. It also can be the result of organisms that cause several sexually transmitted diseases, or by irritating chemicals (such as bubble bath or spermicides).

Be sure your doctor tested for the sexually transmitted diseases.

• A bladder infection (cystitis) often is caused by bacteria that live around the opening of the urethra, then travel through the urethra to the bladder. The bladder stores urine that has been made by the kidneys, then eliminates it during urination. Sometimes, bacteria travel up into the bladder without any clear cause. More often, this happens after sex, because sex tends to push the bacteria back up into the bladder.

There is a widely held belief women and girls who wipe with toilet tissue from back to front after a bowel movement can can push bacteria up into the bladder. However, I once did a study that did not confirm this belief.

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff • Kidney infection. Sometimes bacteria travel all the way up the urinary tract, into the kidneys, through long tubes called ureters. The symptoms of a kidney infection, in contrast to a bladder infection, include fever, pain in the side of the back, nausea, shaking chills, and sometimes low blood pressure. Kidney infections always need urgent medical attention.

A urine culture test commonly is used to diagnose these three types of urinary tract infections. Many doctors were taught a bacterial infection is not present if fewer than 100,000 bacteria are found in each milliliter of urine. However, newer research finds an infection is likely if as few as 100 bacteria are found in each milliliter. You might check with your doctor on the results of your urine culture.

Another type of condition also can cause pain on urination: vaginitis, an inflammation of the vagina. Often it is caused by bacterial, yeast or trichomonas infections.

Usually vaginitis produces discharge from the vagina, but sometimes it just causes pain with urination. It also can be the result of irritating chemicals (spermicide, douche, bath soap), irritation from tampons or low levels of estrogen after menopause.

So if your doctor did not do a pelvic examination to look for vaginitis as a cause of your painful urination, you might suggest that.

First cousins look forward to growing old as couple Dear Abby: I am a retired widower. After my wife died, my first cousin “Julia” invited me to visit her in Florida over the winter. She’s seven years my junior, divorced, lives alone and is a successful Realtor.

We had a good time during the two months I was there.

The next summer, I invited Julia to my home. We had a great time together, but then she had to return to Florida for business. I visited her last winter, and one evening while relaxing and watching a movie, we became intimate. It seemed so natural. After that, I moved from the guest room into hers.

Julia is now contemplating retirement. We are planning for me to sell my home and move in with her. We are not thinking about marriage or commingling our funds

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips and assets. Our legal documents are in order.

Abby, what would you suggest we say to our children, other relatives or anyone else who inquires about our relationship? We have enjoyed each other’s company so much. We just want to grow older together. –

Kissing Cousin Dear Cousin: No announcements

are necessary. If you are asked, just smile and say you are both happy, healthy and enjoying each other’s company. Eventually, they’ll get the picture.

Dear Abby: I found my birth par-

ents 18 years ago. I always knew I had an older sister. The parents who adopted me are both gone now. They were great parents.

Now that I have reconnected with my birth mom and siblings, I have a large family – two sisters and two brothers. I have a great relationship with my baby sister; it’s like we’re twins. The problem is, the older sister demands to be the center of attention all the time.

I have tried to understand her, but every time we get together we end up mad at each other. It’s like she thinks I’m trying to take her place in the family, which I’m not.

I enjoy spending time with my baby sister, but we can’t spend much time together because she lives in another state and it’s hard for either of us to travel. When I do

get to go there, the older one makes it so unpleasant I don’t even want to go. How can I get over this or care less about her crap? Thanks. – Mid-

dle Sister In The West Dear Middle Sister: You might care less about your older sister’s “attitude” if you understand she behaves that way because she may be feeling threatened. By being nasty, she’s trying to protect her turf.

That you and the younger one have bonded “like twins” makes her feel excluded. Try to resent her less, sympathize more, and make her feel included. However, if that doesn’t work, see less of her so she can’t ruin the visit.

Mock drafts: Full first-round mock and seven-rounder for the Chicago Bears / 10-11

GM Ryan Pace

Bears 1st pick likely ‘O’ or ‘D’ lineman With the opening round of the 2016 NFL Draft now just days away, it’s time to take stock of how far the Bears have come in their first full year-plus under Ryan Pace and John Fox and see if we can’t figure out what they’re going to be focusing on this coming Thursday through Saturday.

At the NFL owners meetings in Florida a few weeks ago, Bears Chairman George McCaskey explained his satisfaction with the first year under his new football regime.

“They’ve [Pace and Fox] energized the building,” McCaskey said. “They’ve surrounded themselves with positive and capable people. We’ve got the structure in place.

We just need to continue to add players who are guys who can make a difference in the fourth quarter.”

The perception going into last season was that the offense might just be pretty good, but the defense would need work. Yet the Bears drafted Kevin White, Hroniss Grasu, Jeremy Langford and Tayo Fabuluje to further bolster the offense and added only Eddie Goldman and Adrian Amos on defense.

The Bears enter this year’s draft off a season in which they were 11th running the football, 23rd passing, 21st in offense and 23rd in points scored. They’re also looking to replace starters Matt Forte and Martellus Bennett.

The 2015 defense actually performed slightly better, finishing 22nd against the run, 4th against the pass, 14th in total defense and

20th in points allowed. The ‘D’ already has added three likely starters via free agency in inside linebackers Danny Trevathan and Jerrell Freeman and five-technique Akiem Hicks.

Last year’s focus in the draft was infrastructure. This year, it’s playmakers.

The only positions the Bears seem likely to ignore in the first few rounds are quarterback, wide receiver, tight end – due to a lack of quality prospects more than need – and linebacker.

With right tackle Bobby Massey the only significant addition on offense in free agency, it’s impossible to rule out the Bears taking a running back or offensive lineman high.

The Bears have a clear need for at least

one starter at defensive end and maybe two, and Fox concedes the secondary may need work as well.

“I think Kyle’s [Fuller] got room for improvement like we all do,” Fox said. “I think it’s in there, just like our team. We were good in spots; we have to learn how to be good consistently. He’s developing and learning what that is, not resisting.”

Fox also admits Antrel Rolle might need competition. Asked what Rolle has left, Fox said, “It’s hard to say. These guys go away and they’re not in your eyesight for a while and it’s always interesting to see how they come back.

“Obviously, Antrel is one of our more veteran players, brought great leadership to our defensive team when he was available, and even when he wasn’t available [to play] he was always there with his experience.”

The Bears’ demands are easy to spot, but the supply is a lot trickier to value.

Running back Ezekiel Elliott and the top two cornerbacks, Jalen Ramsey and Vernon Hargreaves III, likely will be gone when the Bears pick. If one isn’t, they might pounce.

There are no safeties worthy of the 11th pick. Between offensive tackles Ronnie Stanley and Jack Conklin and defensive linemen DeForest Buckner, A’Shawn Robinson and Sheldon Rankins, at least one and possibly two or three will be available.

It is from that pool the Bears first pick is most likely to come.

Round 1, No. 18: Willie Gault, wide

receiver

Round 2, No. 33: Mike Richardson,

defensive back Our choice for the top Bears draft class ever really isn’t all that difficult.

In 1983, the Bears had the greatest draft in franchise history – period.

Take away the Bears’ monster draft class of 1983, and you might as well take away the teams’ lone Super Bowl championship a few years later.

You’ve heard of hits and misses in the NFL draft? How about hits and hits and hits, topped off with a Hall of Fame hit? The draft was 12 rounds back then, and the Bears’ first eight picks went like this: Round 1, No. 6: Jimbo Covert, offensive tackle

Round 4, No. 91: Tom Thayer, guard Round 4, No. 107: Pat Dunsmore,

tight end

Round 8, No. 203: Richard Dent, de-

fensive end

Round 8, No. 219: Mark Bortz, guard

Unbelievable. Seven of those first eight picks went on to play at least 90 games in the NFL, with Dunsmore (27 games) proving to be the only exception.

The group combined for 153½ sacks, 48 interceptions, 351 catches and 45 receiving touchdowns, not to mention the countless blocks that Covert, Thayer and Bortz helped to set for all-time great Walter Payton. Did we already mention this was an easy choice?

2. 1961 One word: Dit-kaaa. Unless that’s two words. Is that two words? Either way, the Bears’ class of 1961 included eight players whose NFL careers spanned at least 70 games.

3. 1965 The Bears had two picks in the top four selections, and they nailed both of them: Dick Butkus at No. 3 overall and Gale Sayers at No. 4 overall. So what if many of their other 18 picks that year didn’t make much noise in the NFL?

4. 1975 With the fourth pick in the NFL draft, the Chicago Bears select … Walter Payton, running back, Jackson State.

That tells you all you need to know.

5. 2003 What, you thought that we’d neglect the 21st century? Pssh. The Bears’ class of 2003 started off bumpy – see: Michael Haynes and Rex Grossman – but recovered with a pair of tremendous value picks, Charles Tillman in Round 2 and Lance Briggs in Round 3.

As draft looms, Bears ‘on our way’ Chicago buys whole lot of freedom with strong free-agency stretch

By JAY TAFT Rockford Register-Star The Chicago Bears stayed very busy during the latest free-agency period, and it looks like they might have just bought themselves a little freedom.

Freedom to maneuver their roster in ways they couldn’t before (i.e. “Kyle Long, back to guard you go”). Freedom to explore other areas of need (like finding a safety) without the dire urgency that used to be there. And, possibly most important of all, freedom to go after anything, and anyone, they covet on draft day. (Can you say “Welcome to Chicago, Joey Bosa, Myles Jack or DeForest Buckner,” whichever one slides to No. 11 overall?)

The freedom comes because the Bears were not only busy in the football marketplace the past month, but they were fruitful.

Of course only time will tell, but at first peek it would appear as if veteran head coach John Fox and still-green general manager Ryan Pace are working together with a purpose.

“It’s about getting the right kind of guys in there, and the right kind of guys to represent our city and our organization,” Fox said. “But of course, with a highlight on some athleticism and explosion.”

Those are both evident in their top two free-agent hauls, inside linebackers Danny Trevathan and Jerrell Freeman. With two potential stars in the primes of their career, the Bears quickly shored up one of their weakest links, which kicked off the process of letting the free-thinkers take over the draft war room.

Former Cardinals right tackle Bobby Massie was quickly brought in to not only provide leadership up front, but to allow Long the freedom to flow back to his original spot on the line.

Two other O-linemen (Ted Larsen and Manny Ramirez) were signed at good prices, too, and suddenly one of the thinnest units on the team was seriously beefed up.

The Bears scored with the acquisition of defensive end Akiem Hicks, a 6-foot-5, 324-pound beast who spent his first four seasons with the Saints and Patriots, as well.

Targeting guys they were familiar with – both on the team, and outside it – the Bears shored up some obvious holes. They held on to key free agents who had a chance to bolt (primarily receiver Alshon Jeffery, tight end Zach Miller and defensive back Tracy Por-

Chicago Bears linebacker Danny Trevathan talks at a news conference in March in Lake Forest. Trevathan was the Bears first big move in free agency, agreeing to a four-year contract.

“There are a lot of things that go into the preparation in being the best. We’re on our way.”

John Fox Bears head coach ter), and looked outside the box to try and fill needs.

The last player the Bears inked was safety and special-teams player Omar Bolden, and he was the eighth free agent they lured over from Denver since Fox was fired by the Broncos and hired by the Bears in January 2015.

It’s quite clear why Fox is reaching into his deep bag of experience.

“We know what we’ve got there with those guys,” he said.

As for why the players like to return to a Fox-run program?

“He’s a player’s coach. He knows how to communicate with us,” Bolden said. “He knows how to treat us, and he’s fun. He just loves to win, and the guy’s a great leader.”

The Bears did lose running back Matt Forte and tight end Martellus Bennett, but with a young Jeremy Langford providing hope for the future at tailback, and Miller showing what he can do at tight end when healthy

late last year, they may just get a pass on those losses.

They also finally gave up on defender Shea McClellin – but in this case, we’re looking at a clear addition-by-subtraction situation.

But not just because of one thing, because of all of this, the Bears’ draftday braintrust will have to worry less about filling desperation needs, and more about finding that special talent that could lead this team to greatness for years to come.

Is there more work to be done?

“A whole heck of a lot,” Pace recently said.

But are they a whole lot closer than they were when free agency kicked in on March 9?

“There are a lot of things that go into the preparation in being the best,” Fox said. “We’re on our way.”

DEFENSE How much better does this defense look than the one that took the field in Week 17 last season?

The obvious upgrades come at inside linebacker, and they’re massive with the additions of Danny Trevathan and Jerrell Freeman, moving Christian Jones, John Timu and Jonathan Anderson to reserve/special-teams roles.

The D-line could still use a starter. Mitch Unrein is a very dependable player (on both sides of the ball), but is better as a team’s third D-end. It seems Ego Ferguson has progressed well from his season-ending injury, so we’ll see where he’s slotted when OTAs begin. Ferguson and Will Sutton have versatility to play DE or NT. No changes at outside linebacker, but something is missing – speed. Lamarr Houston and Willie Young came on strong last season, proving they could be effective in a 3-4. Pernell McPhee, when healthy, was the best defensive player on the team, but none of the three displays the type of speed off the edge that could help the pass rush.

In the secondary, the starting four returns with clear questions behind them. How comfortable are the Bears going into the season with Bryce Callahan as the starting nickel? If Antrel Rolle gets hurt, would the Bears be ready to go with Harold Jones-Quartey, Omar Bolden or Chris Prosinski again? Both corner and safety are prime positions where the Bears could use an early pick.

The biggest changes on this depth chart come at running back and tight end, where Jeremy Langford and Zach Miller, respectively, move up from No. 2 to starter, highlighting the chance the Bears are looking closely to add depth at those positions in the draft after moving on from Matt Forte and trading Martellus Bennett.

On the offensive line, we should note that some of the reserve offensive tackles are interchangeable, and players like Matt Slauson and Kyle Long can play multiple positions up front. If a tackle had to leave a game, Long would likely move over and Ted Larsen or Manny Ramirez would play guard. There should be some spirited competition at center and the guard spots with the additions of Larsen and Ramirez. Left tackle is a position that could be addressed in the draft, too.

The wide receiving group looks strong, on paper. If healthy, that’s a stellar top three, with nice depth in the forms of Marquess Wilson, Marc Mariani, Josh Bellamy and Deonte Thompson, who received valuable reps last season.

We’ll certainly see a fourth quarterback added to this depth chart between now and the start of OTAs. Whether or not it’s someone good enough to challenge David Fales for the No. 2 job will be one of the intriguing parts of draft weekend.

12 prospects Bears might be targeting at No. 11 Who will the Bears take with the 11th overall pick? Mock drafts have a wide variety of players who could be wearing the navy and orange next season. Below is our guess at 12 targets for the Bears either at No. 11, or another spot in the first round if they decide to trade up or down. Former director of college scouting Greg Gabriel provided Pro Football Weekly with the following scouting reports. Players are ranked in order of Gabriel’s draft grades.

DE DeForest Buckner Oregon

6-7, 291 pounds Way we see it: This is a player who has shown improvement every year he has been at Oregon.

Has the natural physical traits to be a dominant defensive lineman in the NFL. While he plays in a DeForest 3-4 scheme at Oregon, he Buckner can play in any scheme at the next level. Has really come on as a pass rusher this year and learned how to set up opponents and put moves together. Will no doubt be a top 10 pick and could very well be the first or second defensive linemen drafted. Should

come in and start right away. As good as he is, he still has unlimited upside.

CB Vernon Hargreaves III Florida

5-10, 204 pounds Way we see it: He has the traits needed to be a top cover corner in the NFL. Can play press or zone equally well.

Gets and keeps good position and plays the ball equally well. Has excellent hands and ability to track the ball. Is very willing in run support, can shed and is a good tackler. He plays the game with a cockiness that is a good thing. Very sure of his ability. He will challenge receivers and has fun playing the game. Will be a high pick and should come in and start as a rookie.

DE Shaq Lawson Clemson

6-3, 269 pounds Way we see it: He will be one of the better defensive linemen in this draft.

Bears are lacking a true speed rusher off the edge.

“Defensive front help is obviously a deep area,” Fox said. “[But] those elite pass rushers are hard to find. They don’t come around very often. So we’ll still be looking to improve any way we can.” vvv Never rule out anything during the draft. But the Bears’ decisions to sign inside linebackers Danny Trevathan and Jerrell Freeman in free agency said plenty about how they feel about their options in the draft: They don’t like them.

If the Bears don’t draft an inside linebacker, John Timu and Jonathan Anderson, two undrafted rookies from a year ago, will be the top reserves at the ultra-violent position.

But Pace seems to be OK with that.

He points to all their playing time last

season.

“Anderson, when I think of him, what comes to mind is that he’s very athletic and he runs very well,” Pace said. “When I think of Timu, I think of a guy that’s extremely instinctive and physical and tough. They both possess different traits. But there was a great value to them playing as much as they did.” vvv

Tight end is a need for the Bears that warrants more attention. The Bears absolutely have to take one after trading Martellus Bennett and losing out on Saints restricted free agent Josh Hill.

But it’s a thin class for tight ends.

Pace himself described it as merely OK. But they need to add someone to their tight-end mix, which is led by veteran Zach Miller. If the Bears are going to reach on any position, this is it.

Most project Chicago to draft for ‘D’ in 1st round The consensus is that Bears GM Ryan Pace and coach John Fox will look to add more playmakers to the defense in the draft, especially with their first pick at 11th overall.

But there could be a couple offensive players who, if they’re available, would be hard to pass up for a team that finished 21st in yards and 23rd in scoring last season and then lost two of its top skill position players.

The Bears’ leading rusher over the past eight years, Matt Forte, is now a Jet. Tight end Martellus Bennett, a Pro Bowl pick in 2014 when he had 90 catches, is with the Patriots.

Pace and Fox originally paid lip service to their young runners, Jeremy Langford and Ka’Deem Carey, and then made a lucrative offer to Denver’s restricted free agent, C.J. Anderson, who the Broncos eventually retained.

How do Pace and Fox really feel about Langford and Carey? We’ll find out for sure if Ohio State’s do-it-all

OPINION

By BOB

LeGERE

rlegere@dailyherald.com @BobLeGere

running back Ezekiel Elliott is still on the board when the Bears pick on the night of April 28. There’s probably a 50-50 chance, and there’s no doubt Elliott would make any NFL team better immediately.

But the Bears have bigger needs on defense, and even on offense, where the line remains a work in progress. If Notre Dame’s Ronnie Stanley falls to 11, he projects as a plug-and-play left tackle, who also makes the Bears better immediately, no matter how much they say they like Charles Leno Jr. Taking Stanley might be an easy decision for the Bears, but what if he’s

gone and Michigan State’s Jack Conklin is available? The Spartan is a popular Chicago choice in many mocks. But some scouts believe Conklin will be more effective in the NFL as a guard, and the Bears are solid there. Their two best linemen are guards – Kyle Long and Matt Slauson – and they recently added veterans Manny Ramirez and Ted Larsen to the interior-O-line mix.

That could change if rumors of a Slauson trade come to fruition, but for now, tight end is a bigger concern.

For all his selfishness and petulance, Bennett is still one of the NFL’s top all-around tight ends. The problem is, he doesn’t want to be. He wants to be Jimmy Graham, sprinting downfield to make big catches, while someone else does the dirty work that comes with being an all-around tight end.

Fortunately for the Bears, they can find a complement to their gifted receiving tight end Zach Miller well beyond the first round. It’s possible the best tight end in the draft, Arkansas’ Hunter Henry, could be there when the Bears pick in the second round, 41st overall.

As long as Miller remains healthy, which is hardly a given, the Bears’ bigger need is for an in-line blocker at tight end. Those guys will be available on the third day.

And there’s also the search for Jay Cutler’s successor. The sooner that begins the better because Cutler will be 33 before the draft ends. Pace believes it’s good policy to draft a quarterback at some point in most years.

“It’s a good class,” he said of the current crop. “I don’t want to get into the specifics, but there are a handful of guys that are up near the top. There are also a handful of quarterbacks in the middle part of the draft that I feel good about and that we’ve got to make sure we’ve accurately graded.”

It’s more likely the Bears will look at quarterbacks in the middle rounds.

There are a couple of former Florida Gators who might interest the Bears, though neither finished his career in Gainesville.

After he lost the starting job to Jeff Driskel, 6-foot-4, 231-pound Jacoby Brissett played two seasons at North Carolina State, where he threw 43 TD passes and just 11 interceptions.

After Driskel lost the job, he played his final season at Louisiana Tech as a graduate student. The 6-foot-4, 234-pounder ran a 4.49 40-yard dash at the Scouting Combine, the fastest of any quarterback.

Neither player is NFL ready, but both have enough tools to project as starters down the road.

BEARS 2016 DRAFT PREDICTIONS

Kevin Fishbain WRITER/EDITOR

KFISHBAIN@PROFOOTBALLWEEKLY.COM

What can be more ridiculous than trying to predict the first round of the NFL Draft?

Projecting all nine Bears picks, of course.

The following seven-round Bears Mock Draft lays out scenarios for GM Ryan Pace and the front office considering the team needs and players available each round.

1

PICK 11

OSU RB Ezekiel Elliott

If the Bears really want Elliott, they may have to move up a pick or two to get ahead of the Giants, assuming the Eagles don’t pick the draft’s top back. The Bears have an extra fourth-round pick to use as ammo, and this scenario likely needs help from a team grabbing Paxton Lynch. The familiarity between the Bears and Elliott is high because of running backs coach

Stan Drayton, Elliott’s position coach at Ohio State in 2014. Yes, the team is confident in Jeremy Langford, but its aggressive pursuit of C.J. Anderson shows that if the right player is there to help the offense, they’ll make a play. An Elliott-Langford backfield duo would be tremendous for the long-term and help an offense that has lost Matt Forte and Martellus Bennett this offseason without replacing them from the outside.

2

PICK 41

Mississippi State DT Chris Jones

The defensive lineman class is deep, allowing the Bears to wait until the second to grab someone like Jones who has great length (6-foot-6 with 34 ½” arms) and is considering a player on the rise with his best football ahead of him. He could step in and start next to Eddie Goldman and Akiem Hicks.

3

PICK 72

N. Iowa CB/S Deiondre’ Hall

Hall has the size, physicality,

ball skills and versatility to play corner or safety. He’ll need some time to develop coming out of the FCS, which is fine for a Bears team returning four starters in the secondary, and Hall certainly has some special-teams traits.

4

PICK 106

Stanford QB Kevin Hogan

The mid-round quarterbacks will be intriguing to watch. If one team grabs a signal-caller in Round 3, will others get anxious and start taking them off the board? If Hogan is still around in the fourth, he’d be a solid quarterback to develop in the Bears’ system behind Jay Cutler and David Fales. He is smart and posted impressive numbers including a career 65.9-percent accuracy rate and 75-29 touchdown-interception ratio.

4

PICK 127

North Dakota State OT Joe Haeg

This mock draft assumes that the Bears truly are comfortable with Charles Leno at left tackle for the present and future, but they still

need depth at tackle. Haeg has a desirable frame for the position at 6-6, 304 pounds with 33 3/4” arms. He started 60 games and protected Carson Wentz.

5

PICK 150

Washington OLB Travis Feeney

Pace and Fox want to increase team speed, and they could certainly use an upgrade in that department off the edge. Enter Feeney, who notched a 4.50 40 at the Combine. He had 17.5 tackles for loss last season, but will drop in the draft because of some injury questions. He has tweener traits, but Fangio should be able to find a spot for a player with this kind of athleticism.

6

PICK 185

Northwestern DL Dean Lowry

Depth still has to be added in the trenches, and if the Rockford Boylan product slips to the sixth round, the Bears should grab him. As a defensive end who slid inside on passing downs, Lowry was very productive in

Evanston with 13.5 tackles for loss last season. He shined at the Combine with his athleticism and has a 6-foot-6 frame able to hold 300 pounds, ideal to play the five-technique.

6

PICK 206

Georgia Tech CB D.J. White

You can never have enough corners. It’s one of the thinner positions on the Bears – and Pace didn’t draft any in 2015. White has plenty of experience with good ball skills and he type of physicality teams want out of players who can contribute early on special teams.

7

PICK 230

Arkansas State TE Darion Griswold

It’s a bad time for a weak tight end class for the Bears with a need for depth behind Zach Miller. Griswold would add to the small-school crop for Pace’s second class. He was impressive at the Shrine Game and got the call-up to the Senior Bowl thanks to good hands and athleticism.

ARTHUR ARKUSH

Is the NFL Draft the Bears’ Super Bowl?

With the NFL draft in Chicago for a second consecutive year, Pat Finley of the Chicago Sun-Times and Pro Football Weekly’s Arthur Arkush discuss the venue, the city and the Bears’ draft outlook.

FINLEY: Last year at this time, Arthur, we didn’t know what the NFL Draft would look like. How would it function outside of New York City?

Would it snow? Would the free “Draft Town” fan festival be a hit? Would fans care that the top two quarterbacks were hanging out at home? My question for you, Arthur: Has it been a success? And, short of the public’s insatiable love of football, why?

ARKUSH: Aesthetically, Pat, it was

perfect. From the splendor of Grant Park on an unseasonably warm and picturesque weekend hosting 200,000 “Draft Town” attendees, to the best

venue in the city – the Auditorium Theatre – serving as the perfect TV backdrop, Chicago couldn’t have been painted in a better light. That’s a stark contrast from soaring murder rates and a historic debt crisis, so it was a resounding success from my view. The weather and great amenitites were a huge boon, but the NFL Draft hype machine could probably be successful being held in Chernobyl.

With no commitment to Chicago beyond 2016, will the league begin a long residency here like the one it had in New York? Or will the NFL soon flock to what’s once again its second-largest market, Los Angeles, or elsewhere?

FINLEY: Like Chicago’s best actors and fast food, the NFL will move out West eventually. The only question is, will that be in 2017, when Chicago’s contract is up, or in 2019, when the Rams complete the great Pyramid of

Inglewood? My impression always has been that the draft would leave Chicago after 2016, but maybe the Los Angeles timeline helps them keep it for another cycle. Like NFL games have become, the draft is a great television spectacle and a so-so in-person event, but Draft Town is changing that. To put fans – many of whom can drive in from other NFL markets – in Grant Park on a spring day is a beautiful thing. Arthur, is this Chicago’s Super Bowl? And what about that game, anyway?

ARKUSH: For the sake of Bears’ brass and fans, let’s hope not, but as for hosting it, we both know an outdoor Super Bowl in the NFL’s second smallest stadium isn’t happening. I suppose the draft, which allows the city to show off for an event it’s better suited to host, is decent consolation.

There are some interesting Chicago draft angles, too, with former Bear Jeff Fisher’s Rams desperate move up to No. 1 and local product Laquon Treadwell poised to potentially be the first wideout selected. What other Chicago story lines exist? And could a draft coup for the Bears make contending for the upcoming Super Bowl achievable?

FINLEY: The Bears are more than one draft away from thinking Super Bowl, but a decent one this year

could have them poised to sneak into the bottom half of the playoffs. Ryan Pace fared about as well as a GM whose No. 1 pick sat out all year could possibly expect, landing keepers in Eddie Goldman, Jeremy Langford and Adrian Amos. I’m a believer that the best way to draft well is to take as many bites at the apple as possible, and Pace has nine picks from which to work – or from which to trade. Notre Dame tackle Ronnie Stanley and wide receiver Will Fuller qualify as Chicago story lines, sure, but nothing would captivate the city like a bold Bears draft pick. Got any bold predictions for what the Bears will do, Arthur?

ARKUSH: I predict the Bears will draft good players with great athleticism, versatility and football character, said every GM, ever.

Seriously, Ezekiel Elliott at No. 11 might be viewed as bold by some, as we all know about the changing RB landscape, but what better way to bolster Chicago’s post-Matt Forte backfield outlook than with another marvelous three-down back, with ties to the Bears? If Elliott is gone, like I expect, reaching slightly for a starting five-technique like Kevin Dodd (one-year producer) or Robert Nkemdiche (underachiever; forget the strong football character part) would punctuate the front-7 rebuild boldly.

NFC NORTH REPORT

BY ARTHUR ARKUSH

DETROIT LIONS (10 picks, including No. 16 overall) Biggest needs: OL, DE, WR Marvin Jones and Jeremy Kerley won’t be mistaken for Calvin Johnson, but combined with Golden Tate, Eric Ebron and Theo Riddick, the newcomer wideouts can help fill the mega void created by Johnson’s retirement. Answers at right tackle and center on one of the NFL’s weakest O-lines are less apparent. Even if Riley Reiff kicks across the line, a left tackle is needed, and center Travis Swanson was the worst member of Detroit’s disappointing front five.

DE Ezekiel Ansah is an absolute terror, improving each season culminating with his first Pro Bowl nod in 2015. Devin Taylor also had his best campaign and Wallace Gilberry was a solid veteran

signing, but finding another player who can rush and defend the run would maximize Ansah and a defensive tackle room with questions of its own, and address fragile depth after the veteran departures of Jason Jones and Darryl Tapp.

We’re tempted to list strong safety, where Detroit’s top two players – Isa Abdul-Quddus and James Ihedigbo – are gone, replaced by injury-prone Rafael Bush and unproven Tavon Wilson. But replacing a transcendent player like Johnson won’t be easy, and Detroit, now more than ever, clearly lacks a true, big-bodied burner capable of dictating coverages and getting on top of defenses.

GREEN BAY PACKERS (9 picks, including No. 27 overall) Biggest needs: ILB, DT, OT The Packers are moving Clay Matthews back to the edge in the hopes of improving his durability and pass-rush production, but without a better contingency plan inside than Jake Ryan and Sam Barrington, the opportunity cost could be significant. Ryan and Barrington are tough and relentless, but lacking in coverage. The Packers need at least one speedy inside ‘backer who can hang with backs and tight ends on short and intermediate routes.

Even if B.J. Raji had opted not to take a playing hiatus in 2016 and re-signed in Green Bay, the Packers would still be thin (figuratively, not literally) up front. Without Raji and with ascending Mike Pennel serving a four-game suspension to

Rick Spielman has been one of the NFL’s better drafters in recent years, but his focus will be on correcting two high-profile draft misses – Cordarrelle Patterson and Matt Kalil.

Wonder what the receiver prototype Minnesota covets looks like? On paper, it’s Patterson: big and strong with lethal long speed and run-after-catch ability. But Patterson has tantalized instead of taking advantage of his opportunities, relegating him to simply being a dynamic returner after it appeared he was on pace for a formidable triple-threat role as a rookie. Spielman landed a Round 5 gem in Stefon Diggs last offseason. Now finding a physical gamebreaker to play outside becomes paramount for Diggs’ and, more importantly, Teddy Bridgewater’s growth.

begin the year, the Packers are likely to tap into a rich interior D-line draft – perhaps early – in search of someone who can help their No. 26 run ‘D’ and, ideally, also provide some push.

Although Green Bay returns its top seven O-linemen for a group that, when healthy, is one of the NFL’s better units, Don Barclay was exposed badly when asked to step in on both edges.

J.C. Tretter fared better, but Ted Thompson could look ahead to 2017, when 60 percent of the starting unit – Josh Sitton, David Bakhtiari and T.J. Lang – hits free agency unless new contracts are signed.

Harrison Smith might be the NFL’s best allaround safety east of Seattle. His new running mate, Michael Griffin, is an upgrade over Andrew Sendejo, yet Griffin is 31 and on a one-year deal. Locking up Smith is Spielman’s No. 1 nondraft priority and finding his future sidekick should be fairly high on his remaining list.

The 2015 wild-card team boasts one of the league’s most talented and deepest rosters, allowing them to look beyond 2016. It’s necessary when it comes to Kalil and C John Sullivan, whose performance and health, respectively, could signal the end of their Vikings tenures after the season.
