Hundreds volunteer in third Big Serve weekend of community service

By BOB OKON bokon@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – Hundreds of volunteers helped out their community Saturday during The Big Serve – and many discovered something new while doing so.

“I had no idea this was out here. It’s beautiful,” Mariann Miller said while digging weeds before planting new flowers in West Electric Park.

Landscaping at the newly developed park along the DuPage River was one of 30 projects running through the weekend

in The Big Serve, an annual community service project coordinated by the village of Plainfield and four local churches.

Projects continue Sunday, and interested volunteers who have not registered can show up at any of the projects listed at www.thebigserve.info to participate.

Some of the projects lined up for Sunday include cleaning horse stables for the Ready Set Ride therapeutic recreation facility, writing letters for people needing support, knitting prayer shawls and spring cleaning at the Daybreak Center kitchen in Joliet.

More than 900 people were expected to serve before the weekend is over.

Miller said she never had been in West Electric Park, which is a project of the Plainfield Riverfront Foundation. But she has participated in The Big Serve all three years it has been held.

“It’s awesome,” she said. “We’re called to serve, and I love that we can do it right here in Plainfield.”

Addiction treatment advocates: Know your rights under new state law

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com

ROMEOVILLE – Politicians, public health advocates and law enforcement were among the 300-plus people who attended Friday’s countywide heroin education forum in Romeoville to talk about the next steps in the state’s fight against heroin.

There also were recovering heroin addicts – such as Ashley Pavia of Plainfield – in attendance.

“I came to know I’m not alone, and to tell people they’re not alone,” said Pavia, who is 21 and has been clean for six years.

She also attended to learn more about her rights, and others’ rights, to accessing opioid substance abuse treatment under a new state law – the Heroin Crisis Act. The bill’s sponsor, state Rep. Lou Lang, D-Skokie, was present to talk about the measure, as were key state agency heads.

Some aspects to the law have already been implemented, but other areas are being developed.

For example, Medicaid recipients, as of October 2015, no longer can be denied access to FDA-approved, medication-assisted substance abuse treatment. Insurers no longer will be allowed to place arbitrary limits on the level of substance abuse treatment a person can receive, including limiting the number of days in treatment or how long a person can remain on maintenance medication.

The law, once fully implemented, will prevent over-prescribing of pain medication, create an opiate prevention pilot program for schools and make Narcan, an overdose antidote, more widely available.

But time is of the essence in Will County, Illinois and the rest of the nation, as opioid-related overdose deaths continue to climb, Will County Coroner Pat O’Neil said.

O’Neil told the crowd he had confirmed the day before the county’s 20th heroin-related overdose death of 2016.

That puts the county on track to hit the 80s or 90s by year’s end, he said, greatly outpacing the county’s 2012 and 2015 record of 53 deaths.

At least three of the 20 deaths this year involved fentanyl – a synthetic opiate considered 30 to 50 times more powerful than non-synthetic opiates such as heroin.

“Synthetic fentanyl drugs are found

being mixed in heroin. They’re also being found all by themselves, which is a huge risk, a huge danger,” O’Neil said.

“I believe we’re just seeing the begin-

ning of the synthetics.”

With a smaller population, Grundy County has seen fewer heroin overdose deaths than Will County and areas

closer to Chicago, but Grundy County State’s Attorney Jason Helland said those numbers likely don’t paint a true picture of the epidemic.

“We know Grundy County residents go to Chicago, to Will County, to get heroin and sometimes die in another county,” Helland said. “I believe the numbers would be much higher if we counted deaths [of Grundy County residents] outside the county.”

House Speaker Michael Madigan makes a rare appearance in Joliet

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan – arguably the most powerful politician in Springfield – made a rare appearance Friday night in Joliet to address labor leaders of Will and Grundy counties.

And to give, as he called it, his “side of the story” as to why Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner and a Democrat-controlled majority remain deadlocked in a 10-month budget impasse.

“The governor’s advocacy of these nonbudget issues – workers’ compensation, collective bargaining, prevailing wage – in my judgment, runs contrary to the core beliefs of both Democrats and Republicans,” Madigan said before a packed International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers 167 West Banquet Hall. “Because advocacy of these issues would reduce wages for … middle-class families and send injured workers to the emergency room and to the welfare program.”

Madigan, who’s served as speaker of the Illinois House for 31 of the last 33 years, was the keynote speaker Friday night for the Will-Grundy Central Trades and Labor Council AFL-CIO’s 38th annual dinner. Local, state and federal elected officials from both political parties were in attendance.

Madigan said he pledged from Day 1 to work closely and cooperatively with Rauner, noting he has a long record of working with other governors – both Democrats and Republicans – but this time, things are different, he said.

“Thompson, Edgar, Ryan. I’ve worked with a lot of governors.

We’ve never had this difficult of situation. Never,” he said.

Rauner, he said, is holding the budget hostage with the goal of stripping away union powers and collective bargaining rights.

The Republican governor won’t consider new revenue unless Democrats agree to his Turnaround Agenda.

Faced with ballooning pension obligations and a $6.9 billion backlog for the current fiscal year – which started July 1 of last year – Madigan said it’s impossible for Illinois to cut

Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan speaks Friday during the Will-Grundy Central Trades and Labor Council AFL-CIO’s 38th annual dinner. Speaking to a packed International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers 167 West Banquet Hall, Madigan addressed labor leaders of Will and Grundy counties about the ongoing state budget impasse.

More online Visit this article at TheHerald-News.com for video clips from Illinois Speaker Michael Madigan’s keynote speech in Joliet its way out of the deficit.

“You take all of that, you add it up. It’s very obvious that Illinois is awash in debt. The state is swimming in debt,” Madigan said.

Charlie Hanus, president of the Will-Grundy Counties Central Trades

Council, lauded Madigan for his support of union rights.

“You look where we’d be at today without Mike Madigan there, that we’d be just a neighbor state. Right to work. Depressed wages. Everybody out of work. It’d be terrible. In the last line of the defense for many years has been Mike Madigan,” Hanus said.

He also called on labor supporters and union members to retain seats in the House and Senate during the upcoming November election “We gotta work our tails off this fall because if we lose the majority and let Rauner buy this election and we lose control, every one of us in this room, we’re done. We’re done,” Hanus said.

“Everybody needs to put the wheel to the grindstone.”

Will County Democratic Caucus Chair Herbert Brooks, D-Joliet, said it was quite the rare appearance from Madigan, but a pleasant surprise.

“It is rare. We feel privileged to have him here tonight,” Brooks said.

“I’m surprised he came.”

The fact that Madigan showed up in Joliet on Friday night is “a real credit to the trades here,” Joliet Mayor Bob O’Dekirk said.

“He doesn’t speak at a lot of events, but he came out to the trades in Joliet tonight to give a fair representation of how he sees things in Springfield,” O’Dekirk said.

Grundy County VAC to appeal appellate court ruling to the Illinois Supreme Court

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Grundy County will continue to fund veterans’ services through the Veterans Assistance Commission run by Ken Buck, while the VAC appeals an opinion by the state’s 3rd District Appellate Court to the Illinois Supreme Court.

The appellate court released an opinion April 1 that upholds its May 2015 opinion, which found neither the old VAC, run by Elton Monson, nor the new VAC, run by Buck, are valid since neither has a delegate and an alternate represented from every veterans group in Grundy County. The VAC had 30 days to appeal the April 1 opinion to the Illinois Supreme Court or risk losing a VAC in Grundy County.

“We will continue to see clients and provide rides to Hines and the Joliet VA clinic,” Buck said. “We are working with our attorney and the state organization on a legislative fix.”

The court found in the 2015 decision that the old VAC, run by Monson, dismantled itself by refusing to seat some delegates chosen by the 11 veterans’

groups in Grundy County. But since the new VAC also doesn’t have a representative from each group, it doesn’t technically exist.

Buck’s commission argued that unlike the VAC run by Monson, the new VAC has invited every veterans organization to attend and gives them notice of meetings.

House Bill 6560, which addresses the VAC concern about having 100 percent participation of all veterans organizations, has been referred to the Rules Committee in the Illinois statehouse.

The legislation, which was filed by state Rep. Patricia Bellock, R-Westmont, has bipartisan support with sponsors Rep. Linda Chapa LaVia, D-Aurora, Rep. John Anthony, R-Joliet, and Rep. Kate Cloonen, D-Kankakee.

The bill would amend the Military Veterans Assistance Act and provides that a VAC will be composed of delegates and alternates from a majority of the posts, camps, units and chapters of veterans organizations in the county, rather than the current 100 percent participation level required.

If passed, the changes would be effective immediately.

“This is something that has to be done,” Anthony said. “It could possibly affect VACs throughout the state.”

Grundy County Administrator Doug Pryor said the county is committed to providing support to veterans.

“I hope we can continue to work together with a VAC,” Pryor said. “We will continue to fund veteran services through the existing Buck VAC while they proceed through the appeal process.”

Monson did not immediately return a message left Friday afternoon seeking comment. In the past, Monson has said he will not join the current commission despite his desire to help veterans.

The quarrel started when six local veterans’ organizations were allegedly not allowed a vote with the old VAC. At their request, the Grundy County Board took action for reorganization.

Monson has fought that decision, asking the courts to refute the County Board’s action, stating it did not have the authority to recognize an entirely new VAC. The local courts ruled the county did, but would not rule on the existence of the old VAC.

Will, Grundy farmers get a head start on corn planting

Shaw Media file photo

Farmer Vince Biros tills his fields in preparation for planting in April 2015 in Mazon. Farmers in Will and Grundy counties are ahead of schedule this year with the planting of corn crops.

U.S. corn growers – including those in Illinois – expect to plant 93.6 million acres of corn this year, according a March 31 report from the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Agricultural Statistics Service.

Even though many farmers are done with corn planting, several are holding off on soybeans until later in May. “We want to see what kind of rain we get. We’re expecting moderate rains through May,” Schneidewind said. “Soy-

beans are not as tough as corn. If you get a frost, or a hard, pounding rain, the soybeans would break their necks, so to speak.”

Grundy farmers ahead of schedule

In Grundy County, corn planting also is ahead of yearly planting timelines.

Grundy County Farm Bureau Manager Tasha Bunting estimated Friday that 90 percent of corn fields in the county were already planted, and she expects that

number to reach 100 percent by Mother’s Day weekend.

“We’re definitely on target,” Bunting said. “It’s actually ahead of the traditional average and ahead of where we were last year.”

The remaining 10 percent likely hasn’t been planted yet because farmers are waiting for the right conditions in more sensitive fields, Bunting said.

“Farmers haven’t finished every field, but they all have something planted,” Bunting said.

It’s still too early to plant soybeans in Grundy, she said, but that could change soon if soil temperatures warm up.

“If it gets warmer, we’ll probably see some soybeans in the ground by the end of next week,” she said.

Farmers in Will and Grundy counties are ahead of schedule with the planting of corn crops thanks to a stretch of dry, warm-weathered days in April.

It’s a stark contrast from past years, when farmers’ efforts to get corn and soybeans into the ground were thwarted by flooding and overnight plunges in temperature, said Mark Schneidewind, manager of the Will County Farm Bureau.

Depending on acreage and location in the county, some farmers already are done with corn planting, he said.

According to an April 25 U.S. Department of Agriculture crop progress report, corn planted statewide had jumped to 42 percent, up from 12 percent the week before.

Getting crops in the ground so early has its advantages, but long-range forecasts note the region may not get much rain in June or July, Schneidewind said.

And there’s always the concern of long stretches of 100-degree days this summer and untimely rains.

“Corn doesn’t do well with too many hot nights. Like you and I, a crop needs to have its resting time,” he said.

Sunday’s forecast for Joliet calls for a chance of morning rain showers with a high of 58 degrees, according to the National Weather Service.

Monday is projected to be mostly sunny with a high near 63. Temperatures will be on the rise Tuesday and Wednesday with mostly sunny skies and temperatures reaching the upper 60s.

Pastor at Assumption Greek Orthodox Church of Homer Glen shares stories of healing

By DENISE M. BARAN–UNLAND dunland@shawmedia.com HOMER GLEN – “I was speechless.”

That was the Rev. Sotirios “Fr. Sam” Dimitriou’s reaction in July when he saw that the icon of St. John the Baptist at his parish, Assumption Greek Orthodox Church of Homer Glen, was emitting oil.

Until recently, news of the icon spread slowly, with visitors calling in advance for a good time to venerate the icon, Dimitriou said.

But as Orthodox Easter – or Pascha, which is Sunday – drew near, crowds began appearing. Dimitriou doesn’t mind, although he wishes they would call first.

“People have come and said how they were blessed with this icon,” Dimitriou said. “The only thing we ask is for people to keep our church in their prayers.”

John Price of New Lenox said he was the first to notice the oil.

“Of course it’s a miracle,” Price said of the oil.

People are attributing healings to

the icon, Dimitriou said. Full mobility restored to an injured shoulder. Heart blockages reversed. Precancerous lesions vanished.

“I look at this as a blessing, not just for our church, but for the entire community,” Dimitriou said.

Peter Mihalopoulos, the painter of the icon, recovered from hip surgery in two days, Dimitriou said. Since the icon began weeping, Dimitriou’s frequent hospitalizations to treat his autonomic neuropathy stopped – and so did the medication to treat the condition, he said.

However, the Orthodox church doesn’t take an official position on such occurrences, Dimitriou said.

“If it brings people closer to God, that’s the important thing,” he said Dimitriou estimates he’s distributed 5,000 vials of the collected oil since July.

The amount the icon produces varies day to day, he added.

“It comes from the halo, the wings, the beard – everywhere except the eyes,” Dimitriou said. “It has a sweet fragrance, like sweet incense.”

al testimony.

Speed broke a window to get inside her bedroom and walked into the living room, where she used a knife from her purse to stab Shaleatha M. Green, 34, once in the lungs and heart.

During the trial, defense lawyers did not challenge that Speed killed Green, but said Green had been swinging a baseball bat at her at the time.

Green, Speed and both of their boyfriends had been living in the small basement apartment for about a month until the women argued the night before the slaying about Green’s relationship with Speed’s boyfriend, according to trial testimony.

SHAW MEDIA A Joliet man is facing federal arson charges after authorities said he set the fire that destroyed the RoomPlace furniture warehouse April 21 in Woodridge and caused millions of dollars in damages.

Ruben Antonio Ochoa Cruz, 20, of Joliet, appeared Friday in front of U.S. Magistrate Judge Maria Valdez.

Ochoa Cruz, who worked at the RoomPlace, admitted to igniting a packing slip inside the warehouse after a confrontation with a supervisor, according to court documents.

Court documents state the incident constituted arson affecting interstate commerce. Because of the size of the fire, it was investigated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, according to a Lemont Fire Protection District news release.

About 35 area fire agencies responded to the fire at 2501 Internationale Parkway, the news release stated.

A fire alarm activated at 5 p.m.

April 21 at the building, which at one time was a Harlem Furniture store, according to the news release. All employees had safely evacuated the building by the time firefighters arrived.

The fire was mostly put out that evening, although firefighters still were on the scene April 22 because some spots were still burning, a representative with the Lemont fire district said.

Lemont Fire Chief George Rimbo said the exact amount of damage is not known, but the cost is estimated to be between $40 million and $60 million.

According to the RoomPlace’s website, the Woodridge warehouse was the main distribution center for its 24 showrooms in Illinois and Indiana.

JOLIET – A Joliet woman was found guilty Friday of first-degree murder in the fatal stabbing of her roommate two years ago.

Kadiedra S. Speed, 22, faces 20 to 60 years in prison when she is sentenced by Judge Daniel Rozak in July.

Rozak oversaw a bench trial two weeks ago where Speed’s attorneys claimed she was acting in self-defense.

“I read the case law provided to me by the state. The defense did not provide any cases. I went over the evidence with a fine-tooth comb, as usual, and all things considered, I find the defendant guilty of first-degree murder,” Rozak said when Speed was brought before the bench.

The defendant showed little reaction when the verdict was pronounced and remained quiet as she returned to sit in a chair by the jury box.

On Aug. 31, 2014, Speed had gone to work at the Milano Bakery but

returned about 12:30 p.m. to her apartment in the 200 block of North Eastern Avenue after her boyfriend told her the locks had been changed and her property was going to be tossed out on the lawn, according to tri-

Mayor posts signs to clarify road name

By ANNA SCHIER aschier@shawmedia.com BOLINGBROOK – Confusion about the name of a disgraced ex-politician vs. that of a Will County family for whom a Bolingbrook street is named has driven the village’s mayor to put up signs clarifying the issue.

“Hassert Blvd is Named After The Hassert Family NOT Dennis Hastert The former Speaker,” reads one of five signs, which were scheduled to be posted along the roadway by end-of-day Friday.

Bolingbrook Mayor Roger Claar said the confusion has been an issue since former Republican House Speaker Dennis Hastert began appearing in the news last year because of a hush money case that revealed accusations he sexually abused teenagers when he was a wrestling coach at Yorkville High School in the 1970s.

Hastert was sentenced Wednesday to 15 months in prison.

In recent weeks, in the midst of widespread coverage of the case, the complaints about Hassert Boulevard – a major east-west corridor in Bolingbrook that extends into Naperville – have escalated.

Claar said he has received hundreds of emails, phone calls and Facebook posts about the name.

“It got to the point where I can’t answer all of them,” he said.

Claar said he hopes the signs, combined with postings on the village’s website and Facebook page, as well as his personal Facebook page, will help inform the public.

The Hassert family has lived in and around Bolingbrook since the mid-1800s, according to information provided by Claar. The family includes former school and county board members, as well as a former township supervisor. Brent Hassert of Plainfield was a Republican state representative for the area for 16 years.

“I don’t want people to think any worse of my family,” Hassert said.

A Romeoville area park and forest preserve, as well as a sports complex and highway facility in Crest Hill, all bear the Hassert name, he said.

“It’s unfortunate, it really is,” Hassert said of the confusion.

However, Hassert also said he knows former Yorkville wrestler Scott Cross, who testified against Hastert last week about his experience being sexually abused. Hassert clarified that his family’s name-related difficulties pale in comparison.

“My story is nowhere near as important as what those victims went through,” he said.

Route 66 Red Carpet festival to run May 7, 8

By BOB OKON bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The Historic Route 66 Red Carpet Corridor Weekend Festival will have some special attractions this year.

The road event, which is May 7 and 8, starts in Joliet and runs along the historic Route 66 through 12 other towns, featuring activities and sights for travelers. The Red Carpet Corridor ends in Towanda.

Route 66 enthusiasts get a new twist on the corridor run this year, as the Midewin National Tallgrass Prairie will offer a special viewing event for the bison that were added to the park in October. For more information about the Midewin Bison Expedition, call 815-423-6370.

This is the 10th year for the Red Carpet Corridor.

“Typically, we have several hundred people visit us,” said Greg Peerbolte, director of the Joliet Area Historical Museum.

The museum features a Route 66 exhibit and is often a first stop for Route 66 tourism.

If this year is like others, Peer-

bolte said, the Red Carpet Corridor event will bring in visitors from around the region, other states and even foreign countries.

Visitors from New Zealand were among those who took the Red Carpet Corridor trip last year, Peerbolte said.

The museum is typically the focal point for the Joliet stop on the Red Carpet Corridor. But Peerbolte said the city is trying to make it more of a downtown event this year.

The museum will have an information table directing visitors to several restaurants having weekend specials for Red Carpet Corridor travelers.

“This year, we want to get them out and about downtown,” Peerbolte said.

Joliet residents may want to take advantage of the weekend whether or not they plan to travel the Red Carpet Corridor. The museum is not charging admission either day and will be open 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Special events at the museum will include performances by the “Route 66 Band,” comprised of members of the Joliet American Legion Band,

Jan Larsen Steele, a former features editor at The Herald-News, will give a presentation including a souvenir exhibit titled “Route 66 Redux: Retracing the Trail 50 Years Later of My Family’s Epic Vacation” at 10 a.m. Saturday.

The museum also will direct visitors to the corner of Chicago and Cass streets downtown, the old crossing of Route 66 and the Lincoln Highway.

Other area towns with Red Carpet Corridor experiences awaiting travelers are Elwood, Wilmington, Braidwood, Godley, Braceville, Gardner and Dwight.

Farther down the Route 66 corridor, travelers can make stops in Odell, Pontiac, Chenoa, Lexington and Towanda for a variety of sights, flea sales and historical curiosities.

L-W D-210 board loses another member District announces Arvid Johnson’s resignation, effective Thursday

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com NEW LENOX – The board for cashstrapped Lincoln-Way District 210 has incurred another resignation.

Longtime board member Arvid Johnson decided to leave, effective Thursday, according to a district news release. His resignation marks the third one so far this year, after former Board President Kevin Molloy and former member Christopher McFadden resigned in January.

Calls to Johnson and an email to board President Dee Molinare on Friday were not immediately returned.

“We are thankful for Arvid’s commitment to the district over the past seven years,” Molinare said in the district’s news release. “We wish him the best.”

The district provided an email from Johnson stating he is resigning for “family and personal reasons.” He

wished the board, district, students and community “peace and all good things” now and in the future.

Johnson was first appointed to the board in 2008 to replace former board member James Fagan.

Johnson ran in and won elections for a seat on the board in 2009 and Arvid 2013. He led the board from 2011 to 2015, when Johnson he was chosen twice as board president.

So far this year, Johnson has missed the most meetings of any board member, having missed four of seven meetings between Jan. 28 and April 20. Recently, some residents have expressed concern about board members’ absences in light of the district’s ongoing financial crisis.

The board is accepting applications for the vacancy, which can be downloaded from the District 210

Since Lincoln-Way was put on the state financial watch list last year, the board decided to close North high school, one of its newest buildings, in an effort to resolve the crisis. North, along with West, was built to meet projected student growth that never came.

Johnson, Molloy and McFadden were among the five board members who voted to close the school in the fall.

Many residents have criticized the decision, with some forming a watchdog group that is in a legal battle with the board to keep North open.

Last year, Lincoln-Way officials blamed the district’s dire finances on declining state revenue and the housing market crash in the late 2000s but the board acknowledged this April that the condition of the district was “masked by improper accounting.”

The board also acknowledged that a “proper system of checks and balances” was not in place and that previous superintendent Lawrence Wyllie “took unauthorized action.”

Wyllie also was listed as being on the University of St. Francis Board of Trustees as recently as last month but the school’s website no longer lists his name. Johnson is the president at USF. In March, the retirement of longtime district business official Ronald Sawin, who worked under Wyllie, was accelerated from 2018 to Saturday and an agreement between him and the board stated they are in a dispute over Sawin’s performance.

Lasting Relief from Lower Back Pain

Volunteer Larry Kachel holds a length of wood steady as other volunteers screw it into place Saturday during The Big Serve at West Electric Park in Plainfield.

• BIG SERVE

Continued from page 2 volunteer in The Big Serve. She said the event offered a nice opportunity.

“I thought I’d do something finally and help out,” said Loutsch, a 32-year Plainfield resident. “My kids have been raised here. I figured I ought to do things.”

Getting people closer to their community is one of the purposes of The Big Serve, said the Rev. Sherry Scates, minister of faith information at Plainfield United Methodist Church. The church was one of the four working with the village to coordinate The Big Serve.

Scates said the concentrated effort on one weekend also fosters a stronger community spirit through the year.

“It’s not a one and done,” she said.

“One effect it also has is for people to discover what’s out there, participate in a project for one day, and encourage their partnership with the organizations so they can help them throughout the year.”

The Big Serve, only in its third year, has been getting bigger.

“It’s cool how it has grown,” said David Girdwood. “We started with one church, and now there are four churches. The whole community comes together.”

Girdwood was at West Electric Park with his son Andrew, 12. Both have volunteered all three years.

Visit this article at TheHerald-News.com for video from The Big Serve volunteer work at West Electric Park.

They are members of the Community Christian Church, which initiated the event with the village.

“It started with a small group saying, ‘How can we do something bigger than ourselves?’ ” said John Ciesnewski, Plainfield pastor for the church. “Then, they said, ‘What if we got more groups? What if we got more churches? What if we got the village?’ ” Other participating churches are Hope United Methodist Church and St. Mary Immaculate Church.

The volunteer effort at West Electric Park was much appreciated, said Jeff Dement, president of the Plainfield Riverfront Foundation board.

“It’s really great to have all this help, and it shows how interested people are in our community,” Dement said while doing some mulching with other volunteers.

It was also an opportunity to introduce more people to the park, which is located just off Lockport Street on the west bank of the DuPage River.

“A lot of people drive by here,” Dement said, “and don’t even realize this open area is back here.”

“It’s not a one and done. One effect it also has is for people to discover what’s out there, participate in a project for one day, and encourage their partnership with the organizations so they can help them throughout the year.”

Lang said he is sponsoring two other bills: one that would require state agencies to educate heroin addicts about treatment options and another that would bar drug court judges from trumping a doctor’s order for medication-assisted treatment.

“None of us that worked on legislation look at this as the end, that we did something very big and now we’re done. For me, I look at it as the beginning,” Lang said. “There are still people dying. There are still people addicted. There are still families being destroyed. We need to do more and we need to do better.”

In recent years, the heroin crisis has brought a much-needed conversation to the forefront regarding mental health and the disease of addiction, said Kelly O’Brien, executive director with the Kennedy Forum.

“Our laws, our policies, our budgets do not consider the brain as part of your body. Addiction is a biological, medical issue,” O’Brien said. “[Doctors] screen for diabetes, heart disease, for cancer. They do not screen for mental health or addiction. Schools require physicals. They don’t check from the neck up.”

“It’s a sad way to do it, to have the coroner up here giving the statistics, but if it brings us the attention and awareness that we have a bigger problem here, then so be it,” O’Brien said.

“At this time, it appears that this is an apparent murder-suicide based on information gathered from witnesses at the scene,” the Sheriff’s Office said

HOMER GLEN – Authorities are investigating the deaths of two people found unresponsive in Homer Glen as a murder-suicide.

The Will County Sheriff’s Office responded about 10 a.m. Saturday to the home at 16000 block of Meadow Crest Drive for a report of shots fired, according to a news release from the office.

Upon arrival, deputies found a 54-year-old female and a 56-year-old male in the bedroom of the residence.

Both appeared to have single gunshot wounds and were unresponsive; paramedics tried unsuccessfully to render lifesaving aid, according to the news release.

Police said two older children were in the residence at the time and heard their parents arguing and then heard gunshots.

OBITUARIES JAMES ALEXANDER ABBOTT Born: July 18, 1929 Died: April 23, 2016

James Alexander Abbott, age 86, of New Lenox passed away peacefully on Saturday, April 23, 2016, at his home surrounded by his family while under hospice care.

He is survived by his wife of 65 years, Claire; and four children, Ken (Dorothy) Abbott, Dale (Steve) Gibson, Audrey (Jim) Murdie, and Andrew Abbott. He also leaves behind seven grandchildren, Amy, Wendy, James, Marcus, Jenna, Jason and Jessica; as well as one great-grandchild, Jimmy.

His brother, Jack, is predeceased.

The son of John and Sarah Abbott, James was born on July 18, 1929, in Elizabeth, New Jersey. He served in the U.S. Navy from 1948 to 1953, during which time he married his bride, Claire, in Norfolk, Virginia. After an honorable discharge, he was a longtime employee of the Atlas Supply Company, a division of Standard Oil. He moved to the Chicago area with his family to work as a field representative for Atlas, eventually being promoted to Chicago Area Manager. James retired from Atlas in 1985, but remained tirelessly active for the remainder of his life.

In addition to his various volunteer jobs, he worked for twenty years as a courier for Saint James Hospital in Chicago Heights, Illinois.

James is remembered for always standing tall, with a spring in his step, a joke to tell, and an easy laugh. He was the kind of person who you could count on. He had a generous spirit, loved to cook (and eat!), and thought of his family often – expressed through newspaper articles, notes and crossword puzzle dates.

James’ indomitable outlook kept him strong and fighting the good fight to the end. Private services were held.

In memoriam donations may be made to Cornerstone Services (Development Department, 777 Joyce Road, Joliet, IL 60436).

Arrangements were entrusted to Forsythe Gould Funeral Home, Manhattan, IL 815-4783321, http://www.forsythegouldfh.com.

In Loving Memory of

Raymond Rada July 8, 1934 – May 1, 2011

God saw you getting tired. A cure was not to be.

So he put his arms around you and whispered, “Come with Me”.

With tearful eyes we watched you and saw you fade away.

Although we loved you dearly, We could not make you stay.

A loving heart stopped beating, hard working hands to rest.

God took you home to prove to us He only takes the best.

Our heart still aches in sadness, and secret tears still flow.

What it meant to lose you, no one will ever know.

Your memory is our keepsake, with which we’ll never part.

God has you in his keeping; We have you in our hearts.

find comfort in the good times

Gone but never forgotten With love always, Your wife, Nancy and friends of Bill Wilson

CHICAGO – Chicago State University laid off more than 300 employees, about a third of its workforce, after emergency state funding recently approved amid Illinois’ ongoing budget stalemate proved too little to prevent the cuts.

Chicago State President Thomas Calhoun Jr. said the layoffs announced Friday spared faculty, but they are likely to be affected by later cuts. Friday’s layoffs affected most areas from administrators and counselors to police and carpenters.

Calhoun called the layoffs “dreadful” but said they will save about 40 percent in payroll costs, about $2 million a month.

Flooding has left behind sand, debris in southern county

MILLER CITY – Early-winter flooding that affected several Illinois counties has left behind a scarred landscape in Alexander County in southern Illinois.

The Southern Illinoisan reported that debris piles and massive sand deposits were left behind after waters went through the breach of the Len Small Levee.

“It’s almost a barren Mad Max-type landscape,” said Kenneth Delahunt, an Illinois Department of Natural Resources biologist. “It looked rough in 2011, but this last time it was really crazy. They had snow plows blowing sand off the road.”

The Jan. 1 levee breach intensified flooding. Danette Cross, a Natural Resources Conservation Service district conservationist, said that when the levee breaks, water rushes in and brings along sand and debris.

Cross said piles of trees and other debris and differing levels of sand cover as many as 17,000 acres. Sand covering fields ranges from roughly 6 inches to about 6 feet, and the topsoil was taken away by flooding in other areas.

“They are starting to remove sand and starting to try to pick up debris, but they know it could be for naught,” Cross said.

“Every spring the river comes up to at least 32 feet. With the levee where it’s at,

the state’s colleges and universities. But Calhoun said the $20 million that went to Chicago State wasn’t enough to prevent job cuts.

“It was less than what we needed and later than we needed it, as much as we appreciated getting it,” he told the Chicago Tribune. “It really is a Band-Aid and not the solution.”

Robert Bionaz, president of the school’s faculty union that represents some of the laid-off academic service professionals, said the cuts are “a staggering number.”

“It’s profound that you talk about laying off half of your non-instructional staff. I just don’t know who is going to do the work,” he said.

Some of the school’s emergency funding needs to go toward outstanding vendor bills.

The four-year university on Chicago’s South Side that serves about 4,500 mostly minority and low-income students from the city has been the hardest hit in the state by the ongoing budget standoff.

The school’s spring semester ended Thursday, two weeks early, to ensure that students could graduate before the money ran out.

Other schools have also cut staff this year, including Northeastern Illinois University in Chicago, which eliminated 65 noninstructional positions.

Western Illinois University has cut 147 positions, including 30 faculty jobs, and about 500 employees are taking furlough days and pay cuts this spring.

Northern Illinois University has avoided layoffs but has left 116 jobs unfilled during this academic year.

it’s just going to come in.”

The levee hasn’t gotten fixed. Water would start going into the countryside, with the conditions right now, when the river hits 32 feet.

“Even if they decided to rebuild it, it would probably be two years,” Cross said. “Right now, it’s not looking hopeful.”

Wildlife shouldn’t be affected long term, Delahunt said.

The Journal Star reported that Maynards Industries will take possession of the property in Normal on June 1.

No terms were announced. Mitsubishi spokesman Dan Irvin said he doesn’t know what Maynards is planning for the site. Officials with Maynards could not be reached for comment.

The sale ends the Japanese automaker’s involvement in central Illinois. The plant was Mitsubishi’s only manufacturing facility in the U.S. The plant’s assembly of the Outlander Sport ended in November. That was the last model built at the plant. About 1,200 employees were laid off.

NIU faculty to form union, seeks voice in school decisions

DeKALB – Northern Illinois University faculty members plan to form a union.

The Daily Chronicle reported the instructors will join the Illinois Federation of Teachers. The union represents 100,000 elementary school teachers and other classroom employees as well as faculty and staff at several Illinois universities and community colleges.

NIU support staff unionized last summer after clerical and other administrative assistants raised concerns about wages and complained they had not had a raise for several years.

The university issued a statement saying administrators would wait for a certification decision by state labor regulators. The school “values our faculty and respects their right to organize,” it said.

Rosemary Feurer, an associate professor of history, said the faculty union wants more say in administrative decisions.

Troopers step up traffic enforcement for prom, graduation

ELGIN – Troopers with the Illinois State Police in District 2 have a reminder for young drivers during prom and graduation season.

They want them to think about the safety message in the word “PROM” and “Please Return on Monday.” That means celebrating responsibly and not drinking and driving.

State troopers will be aggressively enforcing speeding violations and looking for distracted and intoxicated drivers. They will be looking for seat belt violations, too.

The Illinois Department of Transportation reported 135 teenagers died last year in traffic crashes in Illinois.

Factors contributing to teenage deaths in motor vehicles include not wearing a seat belt, speed, distraction, impaired driving and lack of experience.

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS four great-grandchildren who Priest, peace activist Daniel Berrigan dies at 94 lived down the street in PalesNEW YORK – The Rev. Daniel Berrigan, a Roman Catholic priest and peace activist who was imprisoned for burning draft files in a protest against the Vietnam War, died Saturday.

He was 94.

Berrigan died at Murray-Weigel Hall, a Jesuit health care community in New York City after a “long illness,” according to Michael Benigno, a spokesman for the Jesuits USA Northeast Province.

Berrigan and his younger brother, the Rev. Philip Berrigan, emerged as leaders of the radical anti-war movement in the 1960s.

The Berrigan brothers entered a draft board in Catonsville, Maryland, on May 17, 1968, with eight other activists and removed records of young men about to be shipped off to Vietnam. They took the files outside and burned them in garbage cans.

Trump, Clinton angle for the advantage in politics of gender

By NANCY BENAC The Associated Press WASHINGTON – She has no stamina. She shouts.

She’s got nothing going for her but being a woman.

Donald Trump, after toying with gender politics off and on during the campaign, is all in on a mission to undercut Hillary Clinton’s credentials by syncing up his say-anything campaign strategy with his alpha-male persona.

The same Republican presidential candidate who mocked “little” Marco Rubio, dismissed “low-energy” Jeb Bush and promises to “cherish” and “protect” women as president is dismissing the former senator, secretary of state and first lady as little more than a token female who’s playing the “woman’s card.”

“Frankly, all I’m doing is stating the obvious,” Trump insisted, when pressed about whether his latest Clinton take-downs were sexist.

“Without the woman’s card, Hillary would not even be a viable person to run for city council.”

That message may resonate with one subset of the electorate and touch off outrage with another. But for many other voters, Trump’s line of attack is simply baffling when America is trying to deal with far more complex matters of gender, such as gay marriage and transgender rights.

“It’s a very simplistic notion of gender,” said Debbie Walsh, director of the Center for American Women and Politics at Rutgers University. She said Trump is “putting out there a notion of masculinity” that fits with popular images of the presidency. “He is playing the gender card but not connecting it to policy, instead connecting it to his own macho image and his bravado.”

Trump’s messages about women represent a tangle of views, said Stanley Ren-

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton speaks Tuesday. shon, a political psychologist at the City University of New York.

There’s the Trump who has no qualms about advancing women within his business enterprises, the Trump who disparages women just because “I can say whatever comes to mind,” and the retrograde Trump who never outgrew an adolescent fixation with desirable and beautiful women, Renshon said.

“I don’t think he knows how to talk about them in a modern sensibility way,” said Renshon, adding that the billionaire businessman is not used to having his utterances corrected by anyone.

Trump rival Ted Cruz said the GOP front-runner’s attacks on Clinton are unsurprising.

“Donald Trump has a real problem with strong women,” Cruz said. “It’s one of the reasons he can’t win a general election.”

Trump’s issues with women in the campaign extend well beyond Clinton.

He has mocked the face of onetime GOP rival Carly Fiorina, who’s now Cruz’s running mate. He’s retweeted an unflattering image of Heidi Cruz, the Texas senator’s wife, juxtaposed with a glamorous photo of his wife, Melania. He engaged in a long-running dispute with Megyn Kelly of Fox News in

which he dismissed her as a “lightweight” and “bimbo,” and described her at one point as having “blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her wherever.”

He was just as unfiltered in his thoughts about women and their appearances before entering politics. In 1996, Trump reportedly described a Miss Universe who had gained weight as “an eating machine.” He described Rosie O’Donnell as “my nice fat little Rosie” in a 2006 spat. In 2012, he tweeted that Huffington Post editor Arianna Huffington was “unattractive both inside and out.”

None of this has seemed to bother Trump’s loyal followers in the GOP primaries. But it could be a different matter in the general election, when Republican candidates typically suffer from a gender gap. In every presidential election since 1980, a greater proportion of women than men preferred the Democratic candidate.

“The challenge for Republican candidates has been trying to make some inroads into that women’s vote,” Walsh said. “And it’s hard to imagine that Donald Trump, as of right now, is well positioned to be the Republican candidate to make those inroads, given the things that he’s said.”

Educated migrants have edge for integration

By KIRSTEN GRIESHABER and DAVID RISING The Associated Press BERLIN – Wafaa Askar arrived in Germany barely a year and a half ago from her Syrian homeland, but she already speaks German fluently and counts more Germans than Syrians as friends. Orhan Sahin arrived from Turkey more than three decades ago, but still feels like a foreigner and speaks in broken German.

The difference? Education.

Based on previous waves of immigration, experts say that the best indicator of whether someone will fit into society is their level of education – the higher, the better. That trend bodes well for many of Europe’s newest residents even as many arrivals from long ago struggle to integrate.

Germany now is taking a more proactive stance toward better educating and integrating its more than 1 million newcomers, something it neglected in the past with the millions of Turkish guest workers.

“It’s really the skills of the migrants that make the difference,” said Wolfgang Lutz, director of the Vienna Institute of Demography, who is studying the most recent surge of immigration.

“There seems to be an indication

I see some potential for integration, and it’s clearly going to be the case that if they decide to stay in Germany, the better-educated will be more easily integrated.”

Syrians were the largest single group of the estimated 1.1 million asylum seekers who flocked to Germany last year, many of them university-educated like Askar, a 41-year-old microbiologist, and her husband, a dentist.

They fled their Syrian hometown of Daraa in December 2012 and made it to Berlin in August 2014, after stops in Lebanon, Egypt and Libya. The couple are trying to get their university degrees recognized in Germany and find jobs, while their three children – sons aged 12 and 7 and a 4-year-old daughter – already are so comfortable with their new language that they speak German with one another.

“My sons are doing so well in school.

I’m very proud,” Askar said, noting that teachers had told her that both sons sounded close to native German speakers. And her daughter, in kindergarten, was already speaking a little too much German for her taste.

“I have to tell my daughter not to answer back to me in German. When they talk to their parents they should speak in Arabic so they won’t forget that,” she said.

For many of the 3 million or more Turkish ethnic minority, with decades of roots in Germany, striking a cultural balance remains a struggle.

When Sahin arrived as a 19-year-old in Berlin more than three decades ago, he was dreaming of becoming a chemist. But he came from a poor family in rural Turkey and had to work hard every night distributing newspapers to pay for his German classes during the day. He managed to enroll for a few semesters in university, but once he married and had three little children, he could no longer afford his studies.

“I wish Germany would have helped support my studies,” Sahin said in heavily accented, broken German. Instead of becoming a scientist, Sahin worked long hours at a kebab store for a decade before he became a taxi driver in 2005.

Dear Mr. Berko: What do you think of the new myRA, which was designed by the Treasury Department? There’s no cost, and employers automatically take money from our paychecks and send it to financial people in Washington. The government will pay professionals to invest myRA money in stocks and bonds. There’s no minimum balance, and I can invest as little as $5 at a time. There are no taxes on the money I deposit or on the gains when I take it out after age 60. I can invest up to $5,500 a year, though I can barely afford $300 a year. I can also take the money out anytime without paying an early-out penalty. – RE, Wilmington, North Carolina Dear RE: Many call Washington,

D.C., “Foggy Bottom,” which is defined in Urban Dictionary as a “sweaty, itchy [rear end] that accompanies walking around all day in the hot sun.” And myRA is the brainchild of the young, enthusiastic idealists who overpopulate the Obama administration and toot ganja weed.

These spacey but honorable administration sycophants haven’t the “foggiest” idea how difficult it is for a family of four whose breadwinner earns $15 an hour to live on $32,000

TAKING STOCK Malcolm Berko before taxes and then save $41.66 a month for myRA. Though the intent is noble, this process, which is supposed to give incentive for Americans to save for their retirement, takes political credulity and stupidity to new heights.

Jeepers creepers, no matter how you cut the cupcake, families that live on $15 an hour can’t afford to invest for the long-term future. Their problem is figuring out how to pay Visa, rent, utilities and monthly car payments, and investing $41.66 a month into an individual retirement account is lightyears out of their orbit.

Still, the administration’s white-shirted, freshly scrubbed, dreamy MBAs believe they can make silk purses from a sow’s ear.

The White House will soon “aggressively” encourage employers to offer the myRA program and will promote it like a Golconda. Employers don’t contribute to myRA, and employees’ contributions are voluntary; howev-

er, that may not be the case 10 years hence.

Because myRA complements Social Security, Congress may make employer contributions mandatory. As it does with Social Security, Congress will, from time to time, increase mandatory myRA contributions to pay for previously approved benefits because Social Security is going broke.

Sooner than eventually, myRA will segue into a Borg-like bureaucracy rivaling Social Security, employing thousands of federal workers – replete with thousands of pages of strangling rules and regulations. Though myRA will post your name on a ledger account, there’s little doubt that in a short time, the government will dump those contributions in the general fund and spend them. And just as with Social Security, you’ll get an IOU. This won’t help the huge majority of Americans who lack the means to contribute or even those who can squeeze $40 or $50 a month. If at age 37 you started contributing $50 monthly, over 30 years you’d have deposited $18,000 of principal. And if those deposits earned 6 percent a year over 30 years, your myRA would be worth $48,500.

But during the past 30 years, the dollar has depreciated by almost 50 percent. And in 30 years, when you’re 67, that $48,500 will probably purchase about half the goods and services it purchases today. So when you’re ready to withdraw that $48,500 in 2046, it probably will purchase about $25,000 worth of rent, food, transportation and utilities. And if you decide to live to 87, you’ll need to have accumulated 20 times that amount, or $970,000.

Washington’s SIA toadies don’t understand what they have created. This myRA is OK for the middle-class folks or families earning over $60,000. Most of them will benefit because they can afford to contribute something. But the poor schnook earning $15 an hour is wearing cement boots and can’t do the IRA dance. These are the folks who are stuck in an earnings rut for life, as will be their children and their children’s children. They need help, not some new ducky, clunky, funky, useless IRA that will eventually be mismanaged by Congress.

Chicagoland Speedway donates trees for green initiative The HERALD–NEWS JOLIET – Officials from Chicagoland Speedway and the Forest Preserve District of Will County took part in a tree-planting ceremony at Sugar Creek Preserve in Joliet on Earth Day. The tulip tree planted along the front walkway to the Forest Preserve’s Sugar Creek Administration Center on April 22 was one of 17 trees donated by the Speedway in partnership with Joliet-based Green Glen Nursery. The donation was part of the track’s NASCAR Green initiative.

“We appreciate this donation because we’ve lost a number of trees to emerald ash borer infestation over the past several years,” said Ralph Schultz, the Forest Preserve District’s chief operating officer. “We’ve started a reforestation program and the donated trees will help with that effort.”

Seven trees will be planted in the preserves, and 11 will be shared with St. Dennis Catholic School and Joliet Junior College.

“NASCAR has a really big green initiative and one element of that is for every green flag that’s dropped throughout the course of a race weekend, NASCAR tracks are encouraged to donate a tree to the local market,” said Scott Paddock, Chicagoland Speedway president. “We had 17 green flags last year, so 17 trees will be planted throughout Joliet and Will County. NASCAR is very cognizant of its carbon footprint, and it wants to combat that through programs like this that reduce emissions in the air space.”

Judge was right to press Hastert on extent of crimes Federal Judge Thomas M. Durkin did not mince words Wednesday in sentencing former U.S. Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert to a 15-month jail term in a sexual abuse hush money case. Durkin described Hastert as a “serial child molester” and described his attempt to accuse one of his victims of extortion as “unconscionable.”

In addition to jail time, Durkin ordered Hastert to undergo sex offender treatment, serve two years of supervised release after his release from prison and pay $250,000 to a crime victims’ fund.

Hastert admitted in a statement he “mistreated” some of his Yorkville High School athletes when he was a teacher and wrestling coach at the school between 1965 and 1981 when he left YHS to begin his political career.

He told the judge and courtroom, “I wanted to apologize for the boys I mistreated when I was their coach. What I did was wrong, and I regret it. They looked to me, and I took advantage of them.”

Fortunately, however, Durkin did not let Hastert off with a blanket apology. The judge asked Hastert, point-blank, if he had sexually abused three wrestlers – including Scott Cross, the brother of one of his political protégés, former Illinois House Republican Leader Tom Cross, and the late Stephen Reinboldt.

Hastert – after conferring with his lawyers – agreed to accept their statements accusing him of sexually abusing them.

We’re pleased Durkin refused to accept Hastert’s initial apology and instead pressed him to admit publicly to sexually abusing multiple victims. Hastert’s victims, their families and the public – whose trust he violated – needed

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

to hear the former House Speaker confirm the heinous nature of his crimes. Hastert’s admission leaves no doubt – as stunning as it still may be to some of his local friends and ardent political supporters – that he was a predatory criminal during his years as a teacher and coach at Yorkville High School.

Sadly, the judge was limited to imposing a sentence on Hastert only related to the hush money case. The statute of limitations on his admitted sexual abuse of his students at Yorkville High School has long since expired.

Within hours of Durkin handing down his sentence, Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan called on state lawmakers to enact legislation eliminating the statute of limitations for child sex crimes. Passage of such legislation is long overdue and may provide some measure of consolation to Hastert’s victims and their families.

As for Hastert, his political legacy seemed assured when he left Congress in 2007. He had served as House Speaker longer than any other man and had secured millions of dollars in state and federal funding for numerous and much-needed public works projects throughout Kendall County during his nearly threedecade-long political career.

He had also retired from public office still enjoying the goodwill of many of his friends and long-time supporters – a rare achievement for a politician.

That goodwill has vanished over the past 11 months and Hastert will most certainly be remembered first and foremost for committing and then covering up sexual abuse of students at Yorkville High School.

That is how it should be.

Week ahead could be cliffhanger The week that was belonged to Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. Now it’s the week to come that counts.

Clinton and Trump scored primary sweeps in five Northeast states that have denser and more diverse populations than previous primary states. Clinton trounced Sen. Bernie Sanders in four states, with Sanders scoring a decisive win in Rhode Island. The trend of Clinton winning urban areas and Sanders the rural ones continued to hold.

After Tuesday, the Republican front-runner is running a bit further out front. While Trump was projected to win last Tuesday, he surprised several analysts by collecting more delegates than expected. In terms of delegates gained and his percentage of the votes, Trump enjoyed a five-state romp. He won every county in Pennsylvania, Delaware and Maryland. Ohio Gov. John Kasich won solid margin victories in counties in Connecticut and Rhode Island, though losing each state. Ted Cruz won nada.

Clinton has won 90 percent of the delegates necessary for the Democratic nomination, and Trump has won 79 percent of the delegates required for the Republican nomination. Predictably, Clinton and Trump are spinning their substantial victories as “It’s all over but the shouting.”

However, their opponents are not giving up – with reason. The next prima-

VIEWS Donna Brazile ries are in states with less diverse, more uniform populations of whites and youth that do not favor Clinton and Trump – namely Indiana, Nebraska, West Virginia, Kentucky, Oregon and Washington. But they will get their share of delegates.

Then, there is the June 7 slam-bang ending to the primary season with the blockbuster delegate state of California, plus Montana, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Dakota and South Dakota.

Sanders is adamant that voters in late-voting states deserve a choice. Clinton and the public seem to agree, though Trump does not. He wants it over, and is calling himself “the presumptive nominee.”

Indiana is now a critical state in the 2016 race for the Republican nomination.

If Cruz wins there, California will very likely be the kingmaker. Next week looms large.

Another housing bubble?

The Herald-News / TheHerald-News.com • Sunday, May 1, 2016

32

To the Editor: The April 11 edition of The Herald-News discussed the Joliet Housing Expo. Some of the applicants lost homes in the previous bubble and are now back in the market. The program gives first-time buyers a $7,500 grant, which I assume does not have to be repaid. I never got a grant when I bought a house.

This is all provided by $650,000 from the Will County Center for Community Concerns. The down payment comes from The Down Payment Assistance Program. Never heard of these groups. I assume the money comes from Washington, D.C.?

Let’s follow the money. The banks are eager to give mortgages to people who would not normally qualify. The builders are happy to sell new houses.

Haven’t we been through this before?

My family is getting many mailings lately to apply for credit cards. People: We are heading for some bad times again.

Maybe even worse than the previous bubble.

This will not end well for these low-income people. I understand their desires for better housing, but I fear they are being set up.

Who got hurt before? Everyone. I could see back in 2006-2007 that people were buying homes they couldn’t afford.

I could see they were going to fail, but I didn’t understand how it could affect me. Now I know.

I live in a newer neighborhood and saw people walk away from their homes.

These houses sat for years until the bank could reclaim title, lowering the value of my home. We all paid too much for our homes. Even now, the value to price is still negative.

I hope taxpayers speak out against this program. It is detrimental to everyone. The taxpayers will get stuck again as they did when Bush was president and emergency measures had to be taken to save the banks. Do we really want to go through this again? I don’t.

Centrist third party needed in the U.S.

Joliet

Act now on climate change

To the Editor: I was grateful to see The Herald-News offering eco-friendly tips in your April 22 editorial, “Leave the Earth better than we found it.” Still, I’ve spoken with countless people who feel powerless in the face of wider systemic problems: Our country’s dependence on fossil fuels and the gridlock in D.C. regarding climate change.

That’s why last year, I sought out nationwide volunteer organizations that attack the problem at the political level.

I discovered Citizens’ Climate Lobby, and I recently opened a new, Joliet chapter in February.

It’s an organization building support for a Carbon Fee and Dividend plan that would disincentivize the use of fossil fuels.

The plan is to pass a federal law that would levy a tax against companies which produce carbon-based fuels. The money raised would be sent as dividend checks to all American citizens, to offset the raised cost of energy.

According to a study by Regional Economic Models Inc., most American families would actually end up in the black in terms of budgeting, and the plan would drastically reduce greenhouse emissions.

Perhaps the most prominent climate scientist today, Dr. James Hansen, endorsed CCL and its plan at Benedictine University last week during a climate change event with Tom Skilling.

The group has also generated bipartisan political support, with multiple Republicans in the U.S. Congress joining a new Climate Solutions Caucus, and signing the Gibson Resolution which acknowledges the threat of climate change.

Many people, myself included, consider climate change the most consequential struggle humanity has yet faced.

The future demands action today.

I’d encourage interested readers to visit CitizensClimateLobby.org, do their own research, and contact their closest chapter if they’d like to get involved.

CCL is getting things done at both the local and national level. We’re quite literally working to save the world.

To the Editor: The state of our state and nation and the current presidential election campaigns both show the need for a strong centrist third party. The left and right are too far apart for the existing two-party system to work anymore for the entire population.

Republicans (whom I used to favor) are beyond the pale of the silent majority at this point nationally. And now, as a recent editorial headline in the Chicago Tribune put it, “Democrats spurn moderate voters.”

The consequence is captured in a recent cartoon I saw. It shows a woman running from an election booth apparently gasping, “What have I done?” We have no broadly acceptable choices this year.

What we need is a party that acknowledges what many, especially young people, have begun to feel – that “war is futile” and there really are more effective ways to achieve peace (and keep freedom) without all the death, injury, displacement, destruction and pollution of war.

A party that admits the need to eliminate waste and corruption (especially in the national Defense Department – not to mention, just about everywhere in Illinois) and reduce the size of government.

And a party that values personal freedom enough to foster freedom of religion along with freedom from its establishment as an arm of government – which it sort of is now, if you acknowledge secularism as a kind of alternate religion.

In other words, we need to dump our two-party system and create an added, viable, truly centrist party for the future.

It’s too late for this election cycle, but the groundwork must be laid.

We need to agree on basic values once again – updated for the 21st century.

There’s room for all points of view on how to achieve agreed value goals, and a way can be found to accommodate Marc Lopez Kaufman Assistant professor of English at Joliet Junior College them politically.

Lincoln-Way West’s Ryan Taylor won the 3,200-meter run during Friday’s Lincoln-Way West Invitational in New Lenox.

BOYS TRACK AND FIELD: LINCOLN-WAY WEST INVITATIONAL

Rittenbacher, Taylor claim titles at West Invite

By CURT HERRON cherron@shawmedia.com NEW LENOX – Nate Rittenbacher really didn’t know what type of race to expect as he lined up for the finals of the 300 hurdles at Friday’s Lincoln-Way West boys track and field invite.

After all, the evening was less than ideal with cold temperatures and strong winds, and the 300 hurdles is a challenging enough event under ideal conditions.

But the Lincoln-Way Central athlete followed up on a close call earlier in the 4x800 relay to claim one of two titles among local competitors at the 10-team meet.

Rittenbacher turned in a time of 39.9 seconds to win the event, which was .6 seconds ahead of Hinsdale Central’s Jared Neumann, who was trying to earn a sweep in the two hurdles.

“I didn’t know if I would win the race, since I’ve been kind of hit or miss,” Rittenbacher said. “I came in kind of struggling a little bit, so I was going to run it flawlessly or it was going to be a bad race. But I pulled it off today and I’m so thankful for that, since it’s a tough race.

“I’m very happy with my progression since I’ve PR’ed in almost every single meet. I’ve been making progress since the beginning of the year, and my coach, Ryan Newtoff, who used to run Division I, helps me out a lot. It takes a lot of practice, it’s almost like memorization. You have to run it so many times in order to know exactly where your stride should be.”

The Knights nearly claimed another win in the 4x800 relay, but the team of Zak Hutchinson, Patrick Gabriel, Nate Tuskan and Rittenbacher settled for a time of 8:18.8, which was .2 seconds behind champion Lincoln-Way North.

The Knights also got a second-place effort from Christian Gabriel in the 400 (51.6) and from Jacob Haubenreiser in the 110 hurdles (15.0). Central closed with a second-place effort in the 4x400 relay (3:30.1) behind Christian Gabriel, Isaiah Dinverno, Patrick Gabriel and Haubenreiser while Hutchinson took fourth in the 800 (2:04.2) and Nick Piekutowski tied for fifth in high jump (5 feet, 8 inches).

Those efforts helped Central to finish in fifth place with 69.17 points, edging Romeoville (69) but finishing behind

Joliet West (81.17). Huntley (204.5), Hinsdale Central (160.5) and Lincoln-Way North (116.17) claimed the top three spots.

The other local champion was Lincoln-Way West’s Ryan Taylor, who won the title in the 3,200 (9:45.6), moving past Hinsdale Central’s Ryan Doorhy and Sean O’Connell in the final laps.

“I knew that there were going to be some great runners here and I was seeded fifth or sixth,” Taylor said. “I came through the first mile feeling okay and I was just trying to stay with those two Hinsdale kids. I was trying to make a move before the mile but I couldn’t.

Then I made my move with 400 to go and picked it up and took over and hammered in the last 200.

“My teammate, Evan (Mitchell) is a great runner who’s Division-I bound and he’s a best friend of mine. He’s been pushing me through workouts and I owe a lot to him. We’re going to keep working together and seeing what we can do. My goal right now is to make state.”

The Warriors also got a third-place finish from Evan Mitchell in the 1,600 (4:22.8) and a fourth-place effort from

Connor Dailey in the 400 (52.0).

For Joliet West, Colt Dolak was third in pole vault (10-7) and the 4x400 relay (3:33.4) took third. Jaxon Aubry was fourth in triple jump (39-0) and Omari Ferguson tied for fourth in the 100 (11.2).

It also won the 4x400 frosh-soph relay (3:40.1). Daylen Foster was fifth in the 400 (52.4), Rafael Hernandez took fifth in the 800 (2:04.7), Cole Schlegel was fifth in triple jump (38-5) and Daelin Lockman tied for fifth in high jump (5-8).

Romeoville received second-place efforts from Jordan Nettles in the 100 (10.6), from Xavier Jones in triple jump (41-9) and from Victor Osinloye in discus (147-1). Jorge Ocampo was third in the 300 hurdles (42.2) and the 4x800 relay (8:19.4) also took third. Joe Otchere tied for fourth in the 100 (11.2) and Davon Maxey did the same in shot put (44-2) while Justin Suits finished fifth in 3,200 (10:00.9).

For Providence Catholic, DaVonte Welcher was third in long jump (19-9.5) and the 4x100 frosh-soph relay (42.2) placed first. Lucas Weaver took fifth in discus (137-1) while Jacob Mahaffey (58), DeShon Gavin (5-8) and Mateo Probst (5-8) all tied for fifth in high jump.

A TEACHER FIRST

THE NEW COACH

The reason for the excitement in the Cougars’ camp is the recent hiring of Bill Bicker as the new football coach.

Bicker, 39 and a 1994 Wheaton North graduate, was a reserve quarterback under Hall of Fame coach Jim Rexilius. One day, he was on the sideline and Rexilius looked at him and asked, “What would you do right here?”

Bicker expressed his surprise. Rexilius said, “You are going to be a head coach some day.”

Bicker never has forgotten.

“He guided me on that path in life,” he said.

Bicker was the coach at West Chicago in 2012 and 2013. The Wildcats were struggling in those days to keep pace in the rugged DuPage Valley Conference, and Bicker’s two teams went a

But it was not about wins and losses only. Over the past two seasons, Bicker has been the defensive coordinator at Metea Valley, where the coach, Ben Kleinhans, “allowed me to grow as a coach.

“He understood what I wanted to be. It takes a special person to recognize that someone wants to be a head coach. I definitely would not have gotten the position at Plainfield South if not for the last two years.”

Bicker, who lives in Sugar Grove with his wife and three sons, said he decided this offseason he definitely wanted to be a head coach again.

“The last two years made me feel confident,” he said. “I targeted Plain-

field. I applied later on at Plainfield South, when the position was reposted after the new year. When it was posted in December, I wasn’t sure. When it was reposted, I got this feeling there is something there that I can’t pass up.

“I met with Principal (Bob) Yanello, with coach Bublitz and I got to talk with coach (Mike) Briscoe, too. They conducted the best interview process I have ever been part of. Whoever they would find would be a deserving coach.

That makes this even more humbling.”

“He comes on board with very high credentials,” Bublitz said of Bicker.

“He was very impressive in the interview process. His overall vision and his experience were key. He has had head coaching and administrative ex-

Support

Bob Stone, who won a state championship at Joliet Catholic, was the West Chicago coach from 1997 through 2006.

Bicker spent time on his staff.

“Coach Rexilius got me started, and to be on Bob Stone’s staff at West Chicago was life changing,” Bicker said.

“Bob is one of the best human beings I have come in contact with.

“Bob and John Walters (who succeeded Stone at West Chicago) helped me a lot. John was head coach at Glenbard East and I was defensive coordinator at the time. When he took the West Chicago job in 2007, and I was the defensive coordinator.”

Bicker, who will teach English at South, considers himself “a teacher first and foremost. I’m a teacher who also is a football coach, but I’m a teacher in both situations. I’m not looking to be a football coach only, but coaching football is something I love doing.”

He inherits a team that went 28-29 in Bublitz’s five years, won between four and six games each season and qualified for the playoffs three times.

“Plainfield South has the potential to be very good,” Bicker said. “They remind me a lot of Metea Valley, but South is bigger (physically).”

Bublitz’s coaching staff largely will remain under Bicker.

“We’re pretty much keeping everyone on board,” he said. “The staff has been receptive, excited and motivated.

We are ready as a staff to take that next step.”

Bicker said he expects his players to work hard in the offseason, getting ready for football, but he encourages any of them so inclined to participate in multiple sports.

“I like athletes participating in multiple sports,” he said. “I told the kids, first and foremost you are a Cougar. Go represent your school, make yourself as multiple as you can. But if you’re not involved in another sport, you better be working in the offseason to make yourself the best you can be.

“Our goal is to have South contending for a (Southwest Prairie) conference title every year. But saying that, you also better be ready to work for it.

You can’t shy away from hard work.”

Imagine the weekly Monday morning conversation between the athletic director and the football coach, reliving the previous Friday’s Plainfield South football game.

It will be a weird experience for Ken Bublitz.

Bublitz is in the process of completing a school year where he has worn dual hats. Last fall marked his fifth season as the Cougars’ football coach, and first as the athletic director.

He entered the football season with the agreement it would be his last as the coach, unless for some reason he did not continue on as athletic director.

He remains in the AD capacity, so now he is anticipating football season from a fresh perspective.

“I can’t imagine not missing coaching football to some degree,” said Bublitz, who formerly was the boys basketball coach and a football assistant at South, including one school year where he was the coach in both sports.

“I’m sure it will hit me at some point.

It will be kind of a neat perspective for me, not being directly involved.

“At times, football can set the tone for the entire school year. I’m excited.

I know the kids are, too. I look forward to enjoying the best of it. This will be the first time in my entire career that I did not coach a team.”

36 BASEBALL: LINCOLN-WAY CENTRAL 2, LINCOLN-WAY WEST 0

L-W Central’s Duke blanks future mates

By DICK GOSS

dgoss@shawmedia.com NEW LENOX – Lincoln-Way Central junior right-handed pitcher Ian Duke might have begun a journey into a strange new world with Friday afternoon’s 2-0 shutout of Lincoln-Way West.

Duke, who tossed a three-hitter, is from Manhattan, which means he will play his senior season at West, with the redistricting caused by the closing of Lincoln-Way North.

“It’s weird that he could be the opponent next season pitching against Central,” Knights coach Scott Gardner said.

“Already in summer ball,” said Central sophomore second baseman Brandon Bennitt, one of the Knights’ heroes.

While Bennitt will remain a Knight, another key figure in Friday’s Southwest Suburban Red victory, sophomore center fielder Ryan McWilliams, also is from Manhattan and will be wearing a West uniform once this season ends.

Regardless of the opponent, “I just knew I had to go out there and do the best I could against these guys,” Duke said.

He threw strikes from the get-go. He struck out three, two in succession to

open the seventh inning, and walked two against the usually hard-hitting Warriors (11-6, 4-3) in outdueling West senior right-hander Gabe Montalvo.

Duke’s first strikeout came on a strike-’em-out, throw-’em-out double play to end the top of the fourth inning. The defense behind him was just getting warmed up.

Bennitt leaped to catch a line drive to end the fifth inning before West threatened in the sixth. Bennitt lost his footing charging a high-hopper as Joe Papparelli reached on the infield hit with nobody out. Ben Zordani ripped a shot into the left-center field gap, and McWilliams raced over and made a diving catch.

“I got a good read on it,” McWilliams said. “It was hit hard, but I knew I didn’t want anything to get past me.”

“Sometimes it seemed like there were 12 guys out there on defense against us,” West coach Jake Zajc said.

To end the inning with a runner on third base, Bennitt ranged far to his left and threw out No 3 hitter Matt Monahan.

“Off the bat, I thought that one was through,” Gardner said.

“I was thinking I would get there all the way,” Bennitt said.

Central (9-14, 4-3) went up, 1-0, in the bottom of the fourth. Montalvo had set down the first 10 Knights hitter before Bennitt pulled a triple into the right-field corner.

“We needed something the second time through the lineup to give us an offensive spark,” Gardner said.

“He (Montalvo) threw me two fastballs in my first at-bat and I just missed it and hit a fly to center,” Bennitt said. “I saw the way they shifted (playing him to swing late), but I just wanted to hit it hard someplace.”

Bennitt then scored the run as McWilliams pulled a single to right on a 1-0 pitch.

“That was a big hit by Bennitt,” McWilliams said. “I took a fastball and then adjusted to the curve and hit it into right field.”

Cam Post followed with a long double to put runners on second and third, but Montalvo got the the last two hitters with no further damage The Knights added an insurance run in the sixth when Vinny Schro-

eder followed back-to-back two-out walks with an RBI single.

“It was a good game on both sides,” Zajc said. “Both teams played good defense. We needed a couple of hits and couldn’t do it. It was a frustrating day but a good game We just have to find some runs.

“Gabe (Montalvo, who allowed five hits and struck out five) did a good job. He got some innings under his belt. But you’ve got to score to win.”

Gardner, whose team has faced a tough schedule and suffered four consecutive one-run losses early in the season, said Duke had some trouble in the first inning in a couple of his recent starts.

“Today, he was good all the way through,” he said.

“I gave up a first-inning slam to Brother Rice and a two-run homer to North,” said Duke, who allowed only two solid singles on this occasion – to Adam Knerr in the first and Ryan Hastings in the fourth. “So coach Gardner had 4-0 put on the scoreboard before the game started. He wanted me to think about it.

“I’d say this was my best game. I planned to use a lot of fastballs and started out doing that, but today the changeups were really diving. I can’t always trust what happens in the pen (before the game) with the change.”

BASEBALL: MINOOKA VS. PLAINFIELD SOUTH

Minooka, Plainfield South battle into 13th inning

By DRAKE SKLEBA Shaw Media Correspondent JOLIET – Plainfield South and Minooka played more than three hours and 12 innings Friday, resulting in a 1-1 deadlock in the rubber match of the Southwest Prairie Conference threegame series.

The game was called at 7:40 p.m. because of darkness. The game will resume Monday at Plainfield South in the top of the 13th inning.

The game began with two undefeated pitchers – junior Jordan Mikel (3-0) for South (15-5, 7-4) and junior Tyler Talbot (3-0) for Minooka (12-8, 7-4). In the bottom of the fifth inning, South’s Nick Mayerhofer singled and scored the first run on Konnor Ash’s two-out double. Logan O’Brien led off the Indian sixth with a double and scored on Jackson Shepherd’s fielder’s choice to tie the score at 1.

In the top half of the seventh, Mikel walked pinch-hitter Nick Airola. After Ash pitched four innings and took the

loss in Game 1 of the series Tuesday, Plainfield South coach Phil Bodine, called on Ash again. He recorded two infield outs before walking Jon Butler, then struck out O’Brien, the first of 11 strikeouts Ash recorded in his six innings of shutout relief.

The Cougars loaded the bases in the bottom of the seventh against Talbot.

Minooka coach Jeff Petrovic applied a five-man infield, bringing in one of his outfielders. Marco Escobar hit a smash to third baseman Brandon Rossiter, who fired a strike to catcher Pat Rumsey for a forceout. Talbot retired Gabe Wair (2 for 5) on a fly ball to center fielder Jon Butler for the third out, and the game went to extra innings.

Ash and Talbot put another zero on the board and the game went to the ninth. Talbot allowed one run and five hits in his eight innings on the mound.

“I pitched well and my defense was outstanding,” Talbot said. “Brandon’s (Rossiter’s) play at third base saved the game for us in the seventh. My curveball was my best pitch and we really

want to win Monday.”

After Ash pitched a scoreless ninth, Rossiter moved from third base to the mound in the bottom of the ninth. After a 1-2-3 ninth, Rossiter escaped jams in the 10th and 11th to preserve the tie.

Ash allowed two hits in his six innings of relief, striking out 11 and walking three. Rossiter fired his fourth scoreless inning in relief, retiring the Cougars 1-2-3 in the 12th.

“Like always, I came into the game with the idea to throw strikes,” Rossiter said. “I am not going to blow anybody away with my stuff. I just went out there and got outs to keep us in it.”

“We had a number of chances to win this game,” Ash said. “We just couldn’t get the big hit, which has been a problem all season. Jordan (Mikel) and I did a great job keeping us in it but we just couldn’t get it done. I threw strikes and my slider was working well. I’m just really disappointed that we didn’t win.”

“They have a good lineup and I had to throw strikes,” Mikel said. “I gave up a double that Butler smoked and he

scored in the sixth for my only bad inning.”

After the conclusion of the game Monday, Minooka has a three-game series against Oswego.

“Tyler (Talbot) and Brandon (Rossiter), both pitched great,” Minooka coach Jeff Petrovic said. “We just couldn’t generate any offense. We struggled getting the big hit, which has been a problem at times for us this season. We played good defense and our bench did well. This was a fun game to be involved in but it’s very taxing on both teams.”

South has a huge series beginning Tuesday at SPC-leading Plainfield North (15-2, 11-1).

“This a game we should have won,” Bodine said. “We had numerous chances to put this one away. Being at home, this is definitely a game we should have won. Jordan (Mikel) threw well for us and Konnor (Ash) was outstanding in relief. Konnor came to me in the sixth and said he felt great and wanted to pitch. He was amazing.”

Minooka’s girls soccer team poses April 24 after winning the title of the Buddy’s Helpers division of the PepsiCo Showdown in Chicago.

4.5 shutouts with Sydney Arlis, Macie Alexa, Maddie Alessio and Vanessa Ramos leading the defense.

“Our defense plays really solid and we’ve got some smart people back there,” Brolley said. “We have one of the better keepers in the game, and she hasn’t had to make many saves.

“Our two center mids are unbelievable with the ball so when we find them on turf, we’re usually pretty dynamite when they can distribute. Our wingers get up and we have two forwards who can put the ball in the back of the net. It’s a pretty good combination to have.”

After winning their first eight matches this season, the Indians suffered their

first loss to Trinity, 1-0, April 16 in the PepsiCo Showdown. The squad’s biggest highlight so far came April 24 when they beat Niles West, 4-1, at the IIT campus in Chicago to win the Buddy’s Helpers division of the PepsiCo Showdown.

Now the Indians set their sights on the Class 3A Normal Community Sectional. They are the second seed in their sub-sectional behind Normal Community and will compete in the Joliet West Regional, which includes Joliet Central, United Township and Bradley-Bourbonnais.

“We’ve all come together and this is such a great team,” said Sydney Arlis, a senior captain. “We have team dinners

ever Friday and we all get along so well and we’re not cliquey like some teams.

It doesn’t matter who scores, we want that goal and we want that win, so we all work together. Working with these girls has been great and I’ll definitely miss it after this year.

“Winning the PepsiCo Showdown was one of the coolest experiences ever.

It was great to turn it around since my sophomore year to get a trophy there.

Games like the one with Oswego East are going to happen. I love the wins, but at the same time, losses like that really teach you. We’ll turn it around and work hard in practice and come back even stronger.”

MINOOKA – It’s been a memorable season for Minooka’s girls soccer team thus far, opening the year with eight straight victories, winning one of the PepsiCo Showdown titles and posting six shutouts in the first 10 matches they played.

But coach Chris Brolley’s squad learned a valuable lesson Thursday when they hosted an sub-.500 Oswego East squad in a Southwest Prairie Conference match.

While the Indians couldn’t capitalize on the many quality opportunities that they had, the Wolves made the most of the chances that came their way to claim a 2-1 victory. That dropped Minooka to 10-2 going into a busy final week of the regular season in which it plays four matches, including hosting perennial SPC champ Plainfield North on Wednesday.

“We’ve been very successful with possession and knocking the ball around and everyone plays a role by scoring, getting in the attack or defending,” Brolley said. “We’ve been doing that really well as a team throughout our first 10 wins of the season.

“Scores are tough to look at because it doesn’t always say how a game went.

The ball can bounce so many different ways and hits the posts and keepers make saves. But our players play hard and if we keep doing what we’re doing, then we’ll be very successful.”

Hannah Rieker (11 goals), Hailey Arlis (seven goals), Maddie Morin (five assists) and Kennedy Messina (five assists) lead the attack while Bella Alessio has

38 BOYS VOLLEYBALL: LINCOLN-WAY EAST INVITATIONAL

Griffins rally to win invite championship

By CURT HERRON cherron@shawmedia.com

FRANKFORT – With several top boys volleyball squads from the area included in its field, the winner of Saturday’s Lincoln-Way East Invite figured to have a good case that they were deserving of earning the top-seed in the upcoming Lincoln-Way East Sectional.

And after rallying from first-set losses against Minooka in the semifinals and Sandburg in the finals, the host Griffins feel they’ve made a compelling argument.

East has won 17 of 18 matches and claimed its second win over the Eagles in just over two weeks following a 17-25, 26-24, 15-13 victory in the gold bracket championship.

“We had a lot of focus with the kids that the tournament was right before sectional seedings,” East coach Kris Fiore said. “We told them that if one school was a clear-cut winner, it would lay claim to the number-one seed so we put a lot of emphasis on playing well this weekend.

“We think that we’ve made a strong case with a 24-4 record against the

schedule that we play. We’re improving and I like the direction that we’re headed. Our guys are tough and like to battle. We’re a defensive-oriented team that looks for the big block or dig to get us going.”

Lucas Galifos earned tournament MVP honors after recording 10 kills and hitting 1.000 against Sandburg.

Jack Huizinga added seven kills, Matt Breitbarth had 26 assists and three kills and Eric Van Dyck had 14 digs for East in its final match.

“We kind of went through the same thing with Minooka,” Galifos said.

“We knew that we’d have some adversity so we all came together. Since we have high-power hitters we tried to get each other the ball and were able to put balls away. I told our guys that we knew we could beat Sandburg. So we came with energy, started passing well and putting balls away.”

The Griffins assured themselves a spot in the finals after rallying for a 23-25, 25-16, 15-13 victory over Minooka while Sandburg got past Lincoln-Way North. East beat West Aurora in the quarterfinals while the Indians defeated Lake Park.

Coach Janel Grzetich’s Indians (21-

3) closed their tournament on a good note after rallying for a 17-25, 25-21, 15-8 win over the Phoenix to claim third place.

“Obviously we would have loved to be in the championship,” Grzetich said. “The semifinal was a really exciting match and I give East credit since they are a very good team. We made some mistakes that we couldn’t correct and they did some phenomenal things and it was a good game. I’m pleased with the outcome against North since it came after a hard loss.

“We’re all in the same sectional together and the boys know that. So even though we lost, this last win still means something because these are all teams that we could see in the postseason. So it was important to see our competition and also to play against them.”

Although the Indians hoped to play for the title, getting a win over North and battling East made the afternoon beneficial.

“We came out a little slow since we were still thinking about our loss,” Indians senior Brandon Baranski said.

“We stepped up as a team and started playing as one in the second and third set since we were focused that this was

still a big match to play that was important.

“We were in the silver bracket in the Wheaton tournament and moved up to the gold bracket and played pretty well against two teams that are also in our sectional. We have a lot of energy when we’re playing well and we’re close friends and have great team chemistry.”

After falling to West Aurora on Friday, Lincoln-Way Central (21-8) beat Lincoln-Way West, 25-21, 25-1,4 in the silver division semifinals and Maine South, 25-16, 25-18, for the title. Leading coach Neil Lucchetti’s Knights in the tournament were Neal Brown (26 kills), Mark Sargis (18 kills), Willy Kickert (13 kills, 12 blocks), Mason Davis (13 kills), Mat Korzen (45 digs) and setter Mike Kulinski.

“We definitely would have liked to finish a little stronger moving into the regional seedings,” Lucchetti said.

“We’re in arguably the toughest regional in the state and it’s going to be a dog fight for every single point and every single ball. But we’re starting to play a lot better and putting some things together. When we’re on, we’re a tough team to beat.”

Bears’ draft picks

NFL DRAFT

Bears add 6 on last day of draft Bears add Hoyer as backup QB

By KEVIN FISHBAIN kfishbain@profootballweekly.com Ryan Pace and the Bears entered the third and final day of the 2016 NFL Draft with seven picks – which became six when they traded up to get Saturday underway.

West Virginia inside linebacker Nick Kwiatkoski went to the Bears at pick No. 113, which cost the Bears their 206th pick. The extremely productive and versatile linebacker adds depth on the inside and on special teams.

“I play hard-nosed linebacker,” said Kwiatkoski, who lived with Kevin White’s brother, Ka’Raun, last year in Morgantown. “I like to hit and be physical, but at the same time I’m versatile, so I can cover. I played many positions at West Virginia, so I think that makes me versatile.”

Pace liked Kwiatkoski enough to trade up, pointing out Kwiatkoski was a three-year starter and team captain for the Mountaineers.

Safety Deon Bush was the first of three defensive backs to go to the Bears on Saturday. A fourth-round pick, Bush has been compared to – and trained with – Antrel Rolle.

“I like to hit and be physical, but at the same time, I’m versatile, so I can cover. I played many positions at West Virginia, so I think that makes me versatile.”

Nick Kwiatkoski Bears’ fourth-round pick “He throws his body around and plays with toughness, plays with instincts and plays fast on the field,” Pace said.

The Bears’ third fourth-round pick was the first small-school selection of Pace’s era as the Bears’ decision-maker – Northern Iowa’s Deiondre’ Hall, a long, versatile and productive corner who models his game after Charles Tillman.

“I’ve always loved him, Charles Tillman,” Hall said. “Just being a ballhawk and getting that ball. That’s something that’s been huge to me throughout my time at Northern Iowa.”

It took until the fifth round when the Bears took a running back, drafting Indiana’s Jordan Howard, a bigger back who averaged 6.2 yards a carry last season.

“This guy is a downhill, physical north-south runner,” Pace said.

“I just like the style and physicality

that he plays with, as well. I think he complements our other backs, very good type of running back that can just wear down the defense, just real physical nature.”

Defensive backs coach Ed Donatell’s room got bigger in the sixth round when the Bears took a third defensive back, another from a small school – William and Mary’s DeAndre Houston-Carson, who had nine blocked kicks in his career and scored three touchdowns in 2015.

Pace said special teams coordinator Jeff Rodgers is excited about having Houston-Carson for the coverage teams.

“Special teams, it’s huge for me, personally. I take a lot of pride in that,” Houston-Carson said.

The Bears concluded the draft with the selection of Western Michigan receiver Daniel Braverman, a slot wideout who had a strong Pro Day and 13 touchdowns last season.

The biggest news, however, did not involve a rookie. The Bears signed Brian Hoyer to a one-year deal worth a reported $2 million to be Jay Cutler’s backup. Hoyer played for Bears offensive coordinator Dowell Loggains in Cleveland in 2014.

“A very intelligent player,” Pace said of Hoyer. “I know he’s got a strong work ethic because we’ve got coaches that have been with him. I think he’s a really good piece to add to the mix.”

Florida linebacker Antonio Morrison (left), a Bolingbrook graduate, was drafted by the Indianapolis Colts in the fourth round of the NFL Draft. Joliet Catholic graduate and former Illinois running back Josh Ferguson will join Morrison on the Colts after being signed as an undrafted free agent.

Morrison, Fejedelem selected in draft The Joliet area had two defensive players selected Saturday as the final four rounds of the NFL Draft were conducted.

Florida inside linebacker Antonio Morrison, a Bolingbrook graduate, was the 27th pick in Round 4, the 125th overall selection, by the Indianapolis Colts.

Illinois safety Clayton Fejedelem, a Lemont graduate who played for two years on the NAIA level at Saint Xavier before transferring to Illinois, was taken 24th in Round 7, the 245th overall selection, by the Cincinnati Bengals.

The trait Morrison and Fejedelem have in common is both were highly productive, filling up the defensive stats charts.

Fejedelmen, in fact, was one of the Big Ten’s leading tacklers.

Fejedelem’s teammate at Illinois, running back Josh Ferguson from Joliet Catholic, was not selected in the draft and signed with the Indianapolis Colts, according to numerous reports.

White Sox pitcher Mat Latos delivers to a Baltimore Orioles batter in the first inning Saturday in Baltimore.

WHITE SOX 8, ORIOLES 7

Abreu, Sox top Orioles

By TODD KARPOVICH The Associated Press BALTIMORE – Jose Abreu hit a tie-breaking RBI single in the ninth inning off reliever Vance Worley, leading the White Sox to an 8-7 victory over the Baltimore Orioles on Saturday night.

After Todd Frazier hit a two-run homer off Darren O’Day in the eighth to give the Sox a 7-5 lead, Chris Davis tied the game in the bottom half with a two-run double off Zach Duke.

Those runs were charged to Matt Albers, ending his streak of 30 consecutive scoreless appearances.

Adam Eaton and Carlos Sanchez reached base with two outs in the ninth against Zach Britton (1-1). Worley entered and allowed the single to Abreu. Nate Jones (2-0) got the final four outs for the win.

Pedro Alvarez had three hits, including a homer, off the Sox’s Mat Latos, who entered the game with a 5-0 record. Latos allowed four runs and a career-high 11 hits over just five innings.

Hyun Soo Kim had three hits and is 9 for 15 (.600) on the season for Baltimore.

Sox manager Robin Ventura was ejected in the third when his challenge for interference was overruled by a replay. He argued a slide by Manny Machado prevented second baseman Brett Lawrie from making a throw to first for a potential triple play.

A two-out single by Mark Trumbo gave the Orioles a lead in the first. The Sox scored twice in the third helped by third baseman Machado’s throwing error and a dropped popup by second baseman Jonathan Schoop.

After Lawrie gave the Sox a 3-1 lead with a homer off Kevin Gausman in the fourth, Alvarez and Schoop tied the game with solo shots in the bottom of the inning.

Alvarez, who entered the game 8 for 44, delivered a two-out RBI double in the fifth that gave the Orioles a 4-3 lead. Adam Jones added another run with a double off Zach Putnam an inning later.

The Sox pulled within 5-4 on an RBI single

by Austin Jackson in the seventh and tied the game in the eighth on a flare to right by Abreu before Frazier’s two-run shot.

Avisail Garcia was held out of the lineup after straining his right hamstring running out a grounder on the final play of Friday’s game.

TALLADEGA, Ala. – Elliott Sadler celebrated his 41st birthday Saturday with his first victory in almost two years.

Mired in a drought that dated to May 4, 2014, Sadler didn’t mind waiting through a five-minute post-race review

by NASCAR to be named the winner of the Xfinity Series race at Talladega Superspeedway.

NASCAR had to determine who was the actual leader when a caution froze the field in overtime. Brennan Poole crossed the finish line first, but was denied his first career Xfinity Series win when NASCAR said the field was frozen with Sadler still ahead of Poole.

“People don’t know how hard it is to win these races. It’s very emotional,” Sadler said in victory lane, choking back tears. “It’s a great birthday gift to me. Man, we needed this win.”

Sadler’s last victory, just four days shy of exactly two years ago, also was at Talladega.

Poole harbored no ill-will over the final result, even though he was dropped to third. Both Poole and Sadler sat in their idling race cars by the flagstand as NASCAR reviewed the finish.

“Just glad that they were able to take the time to get it right, and happy they are able to get the trophy to the rightful winner,” Poole said. “I just wish it was us. I thought we had it, just a little shy there.”

Sadler was chasing leader Joey Logano on the final lap when Logano tried to block Sadler’s attempt at a pass for the victory. Logano went high for a block, then low, but Sadler spun him during the rapid lane changing. Logano’s car turned into the wall and created a crash that brought out the yellow flag.

‘A growing experience’ First-year chef instructor at Joliet Junior College honored

By DENISE M. BARAN–UNLAND dunland@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Ken Thompson is a candidate for a national award to be announced this July from the American Culinary Federation.

Thompson, who is completing his first year as a chef instructor at Joliet Junior College, received the Dr. L.J. Minor Chef Professionalism Award from the federation’s central region during ChefConnect: Hawaii, which took place April 3 to 5 at Waikoloa Beach Marriott Resort & Spa, Waikoloa Beach, Hawaii.

JJC Chef Paul Bringas, president of the Louis Joliet chapter of the ACF and Thompson’s mentor, nominated him for the award. Bringas said he nominated Thompson because he was impressed with Thompson’s skill, his respect for others and his connection with the students.

“He’s got this quiet, honest way about him that students find credible,” Bringas said. “He’s not flashy in his teaching style, but he does have a wealth of knowledge and he’s an easy person to listen to and learn from.”

Thompson, who feels humbled at Bringas’ nomination, took a few minutes to speak with Features Editor Denise Baran-Unland about his first year of teaching.

Baran-Unland: Why Joliet Junior College?

Thompson: Chef Andy [Chlebana,

JJC chef instructor] reached out to me and said, ‘We have a post opening up,’ and I said, ‘Well, tell me more about it.’ The more I listened to what he said, the more it seemed like a good fit for me.

Baran-Unland: Why is that?

Thompson: It brought me a lot closer

to home. I have two children that live in central Illinois and my mom and dad live in Michigan, so this is right in between. And the program here is fantastic.

Baran-Unland: What makes the program so good?

Thompson: It’s small, so we get

to know the students. The program is nationally recognized. Our hot foods [team] has done great things at competition and our knowledge bowl program has done great things. [JJC] has really been a good place to be.

Baran-Unland: What do you teach?

Thompson: I mostly teach freshmen,

so the Intro to Hot Foods Class, but I also teach fabrication and purchasing.

I hope to never leave.

Baran-Unland: What makes you say that?

Thompson: I always wanted to teach

and the people here – all of the chefs – are really great to work with. They’ve

been really supportive from day one.

Baran-Unland: Having worked in the culinary industry for 20 years, why did you want to teach?

Thompson: I like giving back to the

community. A lot of people throughout the years have coached me. And I like working with young people, like the freshmen at the college. This age group is always excited to learn and grow in the field. It’s really rewarding.

Baran-Unland: What are the challenges of teaching young adults?

Thompson: Teaching them that

part of being successful is developing patience.

Baran-Unland: What’s one item the students enjoy making?

Thompson: Sausage. How often do

you really get to make sausage? You see Italian sausage links or breakfast sausage or bologna, but you never see anyone make it by hand.

Baran-Unland: What you have you learned from the students?

Thompson: Everyone learns a little

bit differently.

Baran-Unland: How would you sum up your first year?

Thompson: It’s been a growing

experience for me to get my feet wet as a teacher. ... I just feel blessed to be part of this. Everyone is welcoming and very friendly. I’m really happy to be here.

JOLIET – With a sold-out crowd in attendance, the Greater Joliet Area YMCA hosted its ninth Giving Gala on Feb. 27 at the Bolingbrook Golf Club.

When the night ended, a grand total of $140,000 was raised in support of the Y’s scholarship fund.

Since its inception, the Giving Gala has raised more than $600,000 to benefit families within those communities, helping to ensure that no one is turned away from the Y due to the inability to pay.

During the “Raise the Paddle” portion of the evening, guests were asked to support the expansion of the Y’s Teen Achievers Program – a grant-based program that guides students on their path to graduating high school, attending college and beyond. Program leader Maurice Fears and Teen Achiever-turned-college-graduate Crystal Toran spoke eloquently about the program, resulting in nearly $18,000 of contributions.

Live entertainment was provided by Connie and Johnny Jazz Combo, as well as the Gold Coast Orchestra.

This year’s Giving Gala volunteer committee was cochaired by Margie Bonuchi (Plainfield) and Greg Schaefer (Minooka). Committee members included: Fiona Alston (Oswego), Judy Avery (Plainfield), Kathy Blessent (Plain-

Women still need Pap test Dear Dr. K: I’ve had a Pap test every year for 20 years, since I was about 25.

It’s always normal. Do I still need one every year?

Dear Reader: The answer used to be yes. The reason was that doing the test often would help catch cancer of the cervix at its earliest and most curable stage.

However, studies showed less frequent Pap tests for younger women caught just as many early cancers.

The studies also showed many older women with repeatedly normal Pap smears (like you) had an extremely low risk of ever getting cancer of the cervix.

These studies led to new guidelines issued in 2012. They suggest women ages 21 to 65 have a Pap test every three years or, for women ages 30 to 65 who want to lengthen the screening interval, have a combination Pap test and human papillomavirus (HPV) test only once every five years. (Most cervical cancers are caused by specific types of HPV, a sexually transmitted virus.)

In addition, most women ages 65 and older, and women who have had a hysterectomy (and no longer have a cervix), do not need to have Pap tests. The exceptions are women with a history of precancerous cells, cervical cancer or abnormal Pap/HPV tests.

The new recommendations stem from a better understanding of how cervical cancer develops. It doesn’t develop very rapidly. Rather, there are clear precancerous stages that take years to progress.

What’s the downside of an annual Pap test? For young women in particular, frequent Pap tests can lead to false positive results (the test result suggests a possible cancer, but there really is no

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff cancer). That false positive result can lead to unnecessary worry and anxiety.

It also can lead to further, and invasive, diagnostic tests such as a colposcopy and biopsy of the cervix. These invasive diagnostic tests, in turn, can cause vaginal bleeding, infections and pain.

Less often, the Pap test and HPV test can produce false negative results (the test result is normal, but there really is a cancer). With that false reassurance, a woman may be less likely to bring worrisome symptoms (like bleeding between menstrual periods or pain) to her doctor’s attention.

Unfortunately, the tests we have available to screen for cancer are not perfect. Since the tests are imperfect, and could cause complications, you’d want to have them when they are more likely to benefit you than to harm you.

That’s why recommendations as to how often a woman should have a Pap test are based on the risks of a false positive or false negative result, and how likely cervical cancer is in the person having the test.

For example, cervical cancer is less common in young women than in women in their late 50s.

The bottom line: You still need the Pap (and the HPV) test, but not as often as you did in the past.

Daughter shuts door on mom in retaliation for remarriage Dear Abby: I am 54. My daughter is 25 and married with two kids. Her dad and I have been divorced for almost 10 years. Three years ago, I met a wonderful man. After dating for about a year, we were married. It’s been heavenly; I love my life.

My problem is my daughter. She’s angry I remarried. She told me she should be first in my life. She no longer calls me Mom and now calls me by my first name when she talks to me, which isn’t often. I no longer am allowed to be around her or my grandchildren.

I am heartbroken. I feel like she expects me to choose between my husband and her. Abby, she is married and has her own family. I was very lonely until I finally found happiness. I have no intention of leaving my husband. Please tell me what to do. – Heartbroken In South Carolina

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips Dear Heartbroken: For your own emotional well-being, accept you have an immature, selfish, resentful daughter who is determined to punish you for going on with your life. Much as you might wish to, you can’t change another person. You can, however, change yourself by looking straight ahead and toughening up your hide.

That your daughter would punish her children by depriving them of a grandmother who loves them is disgraceful. My advice is to move on, and if you’re “stuck,” talk about it with a licensed mental health counselor.

Dear Abby: My wife and I are board

members of a local club. Yesterday, we attended a special board meeting intended to resolve an issue within the club. Before the meeting, my wife and I agreed we were against the proposed action. After much discussion, a voice vote was taken, and I ended up casting the only “no” vote.

I feel betrayed because my wife told me one thing and then did the exact opposite. How do I move past this resentment? It’s difficult to have a rational discussion with her because she easily becomes angry and emotional. – David

In Florida Dear David: Calmly ask your wife

why she changed her vote after having agreed she would vote in sync with you.

Then let her explain. And in the future, be prepared ahead of time to vote your conscience without support from her.

Dear Abby: I had to pick up two wom-

en and the first one was younger. When I picked her up, she got in the back seat so the older woman could sit in front. I thought she should have gotten in the front with me and then, when we got to the other house, got out and let the older woman in front.

Was I wrong to feel uncomfortable that she got in the back seat like I was some kind of chauffeur? It’s a petty annoyance, but my husband says what she did was OK. Just curious to see what you think. – Judy In New Jersey Dear Judy: I agree with your husband. By getting in the back seat, your passenger avoided the hassle of trading seats with the second person you were picking up.

Travel, interacting with people who have something to offer and making romance a priority will all enhance your day. Don’t get angry when you can get passionate.

At the bridge table, describing your hand to partner should help your side to reach the best contract.

However, it also gives information to the opponents. In addition, as we have seen this week, the bids, passes and cards played by the defenders can be revealing to the declarer.

In this final example, South is in four spades. West cashes the heart ace and heart king, then shifts to a diamond. How should South continue?

After three passes and South’s one-spade opening bid, if West makes a takeout double, North might jump to four spades, quoting the Law of Total Tricks. However, with no singleton and so many losers, that would be an overbid. Better is to preempt with three spades. (Over a takeout double, two no-trump shows a limit raise with at least four trumps.)

South wins trick three, draws trumps, cashes the rest of the diamonds ending in the dummy (to delay the evil moment), then leads the club jack. When East plays low smoothly, what should declarer do?

West has already shown up with nine points: the heart ace-king and spade queen. If he has the club ace too, he would have opened the bidding. So, South should go up with his club king.

PUBLIC NOTICE

Early Notice and Public Review of a Proposed Activity in a 100-Year Floodplain Will County Land Use Department, Community Development Division 58 E Clinton St., Suite 100, Joliet, IL 60432 815-774-7890 To: All interested Agencies, Groups and Individuals This is to give notice that the Will County Land Use Department, Community Development Division under 24 CFR Part 58 has determined that the following proposed action under the US Department of Housing and Urban Development's Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program, grant #B-12-UC-17-0006 is located in the 100-year floodplain, and the Will County Land Use Department, Community Development Division will be identifying and evaluating practicable alternatives to locating the action in the floodplain and the potential impacts on the floodplain from the proposed action, as required by Executive Order 11988, in accordance with HUD regulations at 24 CFR 55.20 Subpart C Procedures for Making Determinations on Floodplain Management and Protection of Wetlands. The action involves demolition and removal of a vacant and dilapidated single-family home. The proposed project is located at 414 Patterson Road in unincorporated Will County.

There are three primary purposes for this notice. First, people who may be affected by activities in floodplains and those who have an interest in the protection of the natural environment should be given an opportunity to express their concerns and provide information about these areas.

Commenters are encouraged to offer alternative sites outside of the floodplain, alternative methods to serve the same project purpose, and methods to minimize and mitigate impacts. Second, an adequate public notice program can be an important public educational tool. The dissemination of information and request for public comment about floodplains can facilitate and enhance Federal efforts to reduce the risks and impacts associated with the occupancy and modification of these special areas. Third, as a matter of fairness, when the Federal government determines it will participate in actions taking place in floodplains, it must inform those who may be put at greater or continued risk.

Written comments must be received by the above address on or before May 15, 2016: Attention: Larry Walsh, County Executive. A full description of the project may also be reviewed from 8:30am-4:30pm at 58 E. Clinton St., Suite 100, Joliet, Illinois 60432. Comments may also be submitted via email at jwilkosz@willcountylanduse.com.
