Imagine being in fourth grade and knowing the community you live in believes enough in you to promise you $1,000 toward your college education.

Forty-three local children – 14 of whom were fourth-graders – found out last week what that feels like.

And judging by their grins, it’s pretty great.

Those kids, along with their parents, area educators and community leaders, gathered Thursday evening in the Victorian Ballroom on the Jacob Henry Mansion Estate, where the Joliet Region Chamber of Commerce & Industry and its Education Committee held its third annual Scholarship Awards Dinner to reward 43 area students.

The scholarship program annually gives $1,000 scholarships to children in fourth through eighth grades as an incentive to start planning to attend college.

When the time comes, the scholarship money is sent to the school each student has chosen to attend.

Students from the classes of 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024 were the recipients of

VIEWS Kate Schott this year’s program. The kids, dressed in their Sunday best, received trophies that to me looked a little like a Grammy Award (at closer look, the awards were topped with stars, not a record player). They were congratulated and given handshakes.

Their parents beamed as they snapped photos.

The money will be appreciated, I’m sure, especially as the costs of a higher education continue to increase. I can’t imagine how much it will cost to go to college in 2024, when the youngest recipients start that part of their journey.

But I think the greater award bestowed Thursday was one of faith that this community has in its children. Those students are being encouraged to reach for the stars, with a pledge that their community will help them realize those dreams.

“It’s really not about the money for us,”

Parking company plans to fight Joliet’s ban on the boot

By BOB OKON bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A partner in the company that booted vehicles in the Marycrest Shopping Center said it plans to sue the city of Joliet and continue using the locking devices on cars that should not be parked there.

“We are in compliance with the state law,” said Michael Adams, who identified himself as a partner in MC Parking Management in Chicago.

State law does allow companies to boot vehicles improperly parked on their property. But Joliet used its home-rule powers Tuesday to pass an ordinance prohibiting the practice by private companies, largely because of complaints about what was happening at Marycrest.

Adams, however, said the Marycrest parking lot is used by customers at two ad-

“It’s private property. The state of Illinois does not allow any Tom, Dick or Harry to use one parking lot and go somewhere else.”

He said the shopping center also has problems with cars using handicapped spots when they should not be there and vehicles parked in fire lanes.

Adams said he had been in contact with the city attorney to inform him of his company’s intentions to sue over what he said was misleading information about its practices.

He also disputed Mayor Bob O’Dekirk’s statement that one motorist who had been booted said he was told that the mayor had recommended the practice. O’Dekirk, who made the comment at the City Council meeting in which the ordinance was passed, did not identify who might have incorrectly cited the mayor’s recommendation.

SIMPLE PLEASURES

Third-graders pamper moms as they talk about motherhood

By BOB OKON bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – It was a pleasure being a mom as Tina Gieseke sat in a schoolroom filled with mothers getting flowers, hugs and the spa treatment from their children.

The school desks may have been small and the room was crowded.

Still, the one hour of spa treatment, punch and cookies brought many smiles to the 160 mothers, grandmothers and other mother figures for third-graders at River View Elementary School in Plainfield School District 202.

It was one of those simple pleasures that mothers at Spa Day found to be among the most cherished parts of motherhood.

“The joys come from always getting, I love you, I thank you, and having them around and enjoying your time with them,” Gieseke said of Molly, who was doing mom’s nails, and her three

other children.

Molly added to her mother’s joy when she talked about what Mother’s Day meant to her: “I think it will be a very special day, and I want to spend time with my mom.”

Time with their kids. Seeing them grow. Getting hugs and kisses. These were the repeated joys of mothers interviewed in Annette Rodriguez’s third-grade classroom.

Time away from their kids. What will happen to them as they grow up.

Their future happiness. These were the repeated concerns and challenges of motherhood.

O’Dekirk gives Joliet council a year in review

Contact Kate Schott at 815-280-4119 or kschott@shawmedia.com

By BOB OKON bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Mayor Bob O’Dekirk gave a year in review report to the City Council last week, noting that the current council was seated in May 2015 after the last elections.

It also has been a year since O’Dekirk became mayor, but O’Dekirk framed the address in terms of accomplishments made by the council.

“There have been some great things that have been done, and I’m not sure that it’s expressed enough,” O’Dekirk said.

Some of the points in his comments were similar to those made in previ-

ous State of the City speeches, including a 24 percent increase in building permits in 2015 thanks in large part to industrial development on the south end of the Bob O’Dekirk city.

Others were new, including the mayor giving the council credit for keeping the Rialto Square Theatre open.

“Make no mistake,” O’Dekirk said, “without the efforts of you, the City Council, the Rialto would have closed its doors.”

O’Dekirk commended the council, despite its members rejecting his

plan to try to send the city’s inspector general to do an investigation of the theater. The council’s willingness to advance city payments of the annual Rialto stipend to guarantee performances in April and May saved the theater, the mayor said.

Union contracts

The mayor also credited the council with a master agreement with the city’s unions.

“We did it without labor strife in Joliet,” O’Dekirk said.

He pointed to two years of pay freezes that will be followed by 2 percent increases in the last years of the fouryear agreement and called it “better

than any contract in our area.”

The mayor did not mention a provision of the agreement that keeps employees’ health insurance premiums at $100 a month until 2030.

But he said the agreement “kept our labor costs down” and allows the city to make needed capital expenditures, including 44 new squad cars.

He also noted the contracts reinsert a residency requirement for any new employees hired by the city, a clause O’Dekirk said was necessary because new city workers had stopped moving into Joliet.

“We recognized as a group there

Will, Grundy county clerks lay out Election Day registration costs

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Just under 5,780 people took advantage of same-day voter registration in Will County in the March primary election, according to newly released figures from the County Clerk’s Office.

That’s compared with the 153,374 already registered Will County voters who cast ballots on Election Day. Proponents of the new Illinois law that requires same-day voter registration have said the unfunded mandate was worth every penny – $1.3 million in Will County’s case – because it allowed more people to register.

But Will County Clerk Nancy Schultz Voots said there were also disadvantages. People, including those registered well in advance, walked away, frustrated by long lines, she said.

Election judges, on the other hand,

were overwhelmed by the additional responsibility and new technology.

Taking start-up costs into consideration, Will County spent $226 per same-day vote cast that day, she said.

Under the state law, Schultz Voots equipped the county’s 300 polling places with electronic pollbooks – or computer tablets with voting and registration capabilities.

“It was a one-time cost, yes, but those costs will continue,” she said.

To mitigate long lines in the upcoming November election, Schultz Voots said she will seek approval from the County Board’s Finance Committee in June to buy additional pollbooks to use at high-volume precincts. The first set of pollbooks – at least two per precinct location – cost $553,600.

‘Surprised’ in Grundy County

In Grundy, 401 people registered to vote on Election Day. Just under 11,700 already registered voters cast

ballots that day.

“I was surprised by the number,” Grundy County Clerk Kay Olson said.

“I didn’t think we were going to have that many register.”

Pollbooks were bought in 2013 for $34,975, she said, but the county spent an additional $42,000 this year for software upgrades and new wireless routers.

Not counting the initial $34,975 purchase in 2013, Grundy County spent just over $100 for every sameday vote cast on Election Day, she said.

While Olson said she’s pleased more people were able to vote, the state law does a “disservice to voters that are already registered and have all their ducks in a row.”

In Grundy, each voting location had one pollbook, meaning registered votes and same-day registrants were forced to share a line.

“Unfortunately, we do not have

unlimited budgets and money,” Olson said. “We’d love to have two pollbooks at each precinct location, but we have to make the best with what we have.”

Both Schultz Voots and Olson are turning their attention to the November election – when both county clerks expect high turnout in a presidential election year.

“We’re just trying to focus on judge recruitment and educating voters about ways to vote early,” Olson said.

Schultz Voots said she will provide additional hands-on training with election judges this summer. She said voter ID cards should arrive in the mail by the end of May. A mail-in form that will arrive with the card will ask voters whether they want a vote-by-mail ballot, she said.

“I’m all for getting people registered to vote, but I also don’t want everyone to wait until the last minute,” Schultz Voots said.

LOCAL BRIEFS Plainfield woman dies in crash on I-55 near Pontiac

A Plainfield woman was pronounced dead at the scene of a four-vehicle accident Thursday afternoon on northbound Interstate 55 just north of Pontiac.

According to the Illinois State Police, 20-year-old Ashley Borja of Plainfield died as a result of the crash. The preliminary investigation by police indicates that Borja was traveling south on I-55 when her vehicle crossed the center median and struck a northbound car, driven by

63-year-old Rosanne Tenuta of Peoria.

As a result of the crash, Borja was ejected from her vehicle.

Krista Tenuta, 19, of Peoria, was a passenger inside Rosanne Tenuta’s vehicle, and was taken to OSF St. Francis Hospital in Peoria for treatment of her injuries.

A third and fourth vehicle, also northbound on I-55, were struck by debris from the collision. Police said that no one from the other vehicles reported any injuries.

Romeoville cops respond to overdose, administer Narcan

ROMEOVILLE – Romeoville police officers used a life-saving opiate antidote Thursday while treating a man for a heroin overdose.

Officers Kyle Long and Christopher Swiatek responded at 5:13 p.m. to the 1200 block of Pullman Road after receiving a report of an unresponsive 40-year-old man, according to a Romeoville Police

Department news release.

Upon arrival, the officers learned the man had injected heroin, the release stated.

Long began CPR while Swiatek administered a dose of Narcan, an opiate overdose reversal medication.

The man showed signs of reviving and the officers continued CPR until the Romeoville Fire Department arrived and gave another dose of Narcan. The man was then able to breathe on his own.

Air Force veterans meet 43 years after ‘Hanoi Taxi’

By MIKE MALLORY mmallory@shawmedia.com ROMEOVILLE – On Feb. 12, 1973, three Lockheed Martin C-141 Starlifters each returned 40 prisoners of war to America from Hanoi, North Vietnam.

James “Buck” Johnson of Coal City was in the Air Force at the time.

He was stationed at Clark Air Base in the Philippines, assigned to work on C-141s, which brought back most of the 591 prisoners of war held by North Vietnam. The aircraft became known as the “Hanoi Taxi.”

Members of the first flights were imprisoned the longest – six to eight years – and retired Air Force Maj. Gen. John Borling was one of them.

On Friday, Johnson met Borling at Culver’s on Weber Road in Romeoville.

It was part of a fundraiser by Project Join Us, which aims to connect commerce and philanthropy while raising funds for various U.S. military and charity organizations, and Allen Force, which promotes a healthy and successful lifestyle for all veterans and their families by providing networking, fitness and recreational opportunities and community events.

Johnson was surprised to meet one of the men he helped bring home de-

They were reunited through a fundraiser held by Project Join Us. cades ago.

“I was just expecting a phone call,” Johnson said. “This is a bit overwhelming.”

The original plan was for Borling

to place a call while Johnson was at the fundraiser, but Borling was able to squeeze in a couple of hours in Romeoville on the way from his Rockford home to an event in Peoria.

No one told Johnson about the change in plans.

“This is my favorite Culver’s now,” Johnson said.

The introduction happened because of a chance encounter between Johnson, his wife and Diana Anastazia – the leader of Project Join Us – at the same Culver’s restaurant. They began talking about his Air Force experience, and Anastazia vowed to do whatever she could to connect the two men.

“I believe someone assigned to work on planes is just as important as the ones flying them,” Anastazia said.

Borling is a decorated Air Force pilot who earned, in 1994, a rank of chief of staff of the Headquarters Allied Forces North Europe, in Stavanger, Norway. Borling was born in Chicago and authored “Taps on the Walls: Poems From the Hanoi Hilton,” which he memorized while imprisoned because he had no pen or paper.

Johnson was born in Iowa and settled in Coal City after leaving the Air Force in 1975 following four years of service. He landed a job working for AT&T in Naperville. He and his wife are members of American Legion Post 796 of Coal City, Diamond and Carbon Hill.

Lawsuit filed over Joliet man’s trucking death at Union Pacific

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A woman has filed a lawsuit after her son died last year after being crushed between two trucks at a Joliet business.

Geraldine Hughes filed a wrongful death lawsuit Monday in Will County Court on behalf of her late son against the Union Pacific Railroad, CenterPoint Properties and CalEast CenterPoint, according to court records. The accident happened on Union Pacific-owned property located at the CenterPoint Intermodal Center.

About 4:20 p.m. Feb. 13, 2015, Jeremy Hughes, 22, of Joliet, was working for Intermodal Services of America, a business located within the Union Pacific Intermodal, as a “spotter� who used his own semi-tractor as a “hostler� to move trailers within the yard.

When the trailer Hughes was moving into an assigned parking space became stuck in snow and ice, Hughes got out of his truck and “attempted to attach a strap between his

hostler and the hostler of a co-worker,� according to the lawsuit.

At the same time, a co-worker backed his trailer into the trailer attached to Hughes’ truck, which caused Hughes’ trailer to jackknife and pinned him between his truck and a parked trailer, the lawsuit claimed.

The lawsuit claims Hughes was employed by Union Pacific under the federal employer’s liability act, which failed to provide him with a safe place to work and inspect or fix dangerous conditions caused by the snow and ice.

Union Pacific is named in eight counts of the lawsuit, CenterPoint and CalEast CenterPoint, which also does business as Solstice Holdings, are each named in two.

The lawsuit claims both businesses are responsible under “premises liability� for failing to inspect or safeguard the yard.

Union Pacific spokesman Aaron Hunt said Friday afternoon that company representatives had yet to see the lawsuit and could not comment.

CenterPoint did not immediately respond to a request seeking comment.

“It needed stuff that veterinarians could do,” said Yanak, who speculated the kitten might not have lived if it had been in the sewer more than another half-day.

By mid-afternoon, the kitten – who is being called Embers – was back in the care of Animal Control.

“He’s doing fine,” Director Sarah Gimbel said.

Gimbel estimates Embers is 5 or 6 weeks old. Kittens can’t be adopted until they reach 8 weeks, she said, so Embers will be in foster care until then.

Spring is kitten season for Animal Control, Gimbel said, and the agency anticipates having 20 to 30 kittens available for adoption in May alone.

Anyone interested in adopting a kitten is invited to call Animal Control at 815-725-0333 or stop in to visit the kittens at 2708 McDonough St., Joliet.

JOLIET – The Joliet Fire Department made a slight departure Friday from the old cliché of firefighters rescuing a kitten from a tree.

They rescued one from a sewer grate.

Firefighter and paramedic Chris Kinsella, who works for the department, discovered the kitten Thursday night near his home in the 1200 block of Taylor Street in Joliet, Lt. Paul Yanak said, but the kitten was too far in the sewer for Kinsella to reach.

When Kinsella got into work the next morning, he told his co-workers about the kitten and they decided to do what firefighters do best. A team of five fed a hose – filled with water to make it stiff – through the grate across the street from where the kitten was trapped to push the semi-conscious animal out of the sewer, Yanak said.

“It was kind of lifeless,” he said.

The firefighters tried to revive the kitten using an oxygen mask, a hot pack and a syringe filled with sugar water, Yanak said. They also called Joliet Township Animal Control, and that agency brought the kitten to a veteri-

Minooka high school officials discuss crisis response after death MINOOKA – Minooka Community High School interim Superintendent Jim Blanche commended his staff at Thursday’s school board meeting for the way they handled a death in the student population.

Kara Starr, 18, died early Sunday after using drugs while at a Milwaukee club, according to the Milwaukee County Medical Examiner’s Office.

The entire high school staff is to be lauded, Blanche said, particularly Assistant Principal Matt Wikoff, who took immediate charge of the school’s response to the incident by contacting the Crisis Response Team and the family, and Community Relations Direc-

– with returning workers receiving slightly more. Troy asked the board whether they would consider raising that figure to $10 per hour across the board.

“This year,” he said, “a significant amount of hard labor will be involved. ... It’s a pretty big undertaking we have planned.”

After the meeting, Troy said the projects included moving several large lockers out of the building. Before South Campus was built, he said, what’s known now as Central Campus was fairly crowded, and more lockers were necessary. The building would have considerably more room if those lockers were removed, he said.

Work is also needed on outdoor maintenance, such as painting sheds

The local agency’s program cuts include the complete suspension of the adult outpatient mental health program. NAMI Will-Grundy, a local mental health advocacy group, is partnering with the American Federation of State, County & Municipal Employees Council 31 and Local 1028 for the event.

“Given so many other mental health providers are similarly threatened with the lack of state grants, we are very concerned that this service elimination will have a dramatic impact on the 1,800 behavioral health clients serviced by the Will County Health Department,” a NAMI news release

and fences.

Ten positions are open for the work.

High school juniors and seniors normally are hired for them. The jobs will be full days for the entire summer, Troy said. Board member Patti Reuttiger added that the students are usually allowed time off for camp or vacation.

The jobs are posted now, Troy said, and he already has a list of names.

The board is expected to vote on the recommended pay raise at the May 19 meeting.

Also at the next meeting, the board could vote on a new out-of-district tuition fee, which Troy said is $11,906.03, based on the district’s annual financial report of the previous year. The board considers admitting out-of-district students on a case-by-case basis.

LOCAL BRIEF Will County union, mental health advocacy group to hold news conference JOLIET – The union representing dozens of Will County Health Department employees facing layoffs due to the Illinois budget impasse have scheduled a news conference Monday in Joliet.

stated.

People affected by the loss in programming will be on hand.

The news conference is scheduled for 1 p.m. Monday at the Will County Office Building, 302 N. Chicago St., Joliet.

tor Dave DiLorenzo, who also rose to the occasion.

“At Minooka, people took the time long before this happened to deal with tragedy,” Blanche said. “Everything was covered, in particular, being sensitive to our families and our students.”

Also discussed at the meeting was whether to increase the rate of pay for summer help. Chief School Business Official John Troy said several students will be needed over the break this year to do work mostly at Central Campus. The work will be more strenuous than in previous years, Troy said, and the students should probably be compensated more.

Last year the workers were paid $8.25 per hour – the minimum wage

Lincoln-Way Central placed on lockdown

By ANNA SCHIER aschier@shawmedia.com NEW LENOX – Lincoln-Way Central was placed on lockdown Friday morning.

At 7:57 a.m. Friday, a nonemergency call was placed by a Central parent to the New Lenox Police Department to report that while dropping off her child she saw another student carrying an unidentified black object and walking east on Route 30, according to statements from Lincoln-Way School District 210 and the Will County Sheriff’s Office.

District and Sheriff’s Office officials were notified and the school was put on lockdown, according to a statement on the Sheriff’s Office Facebook page. About 100 students who arrived after the lockdown began were kept outside the school and then sent home.

Law enforcement did not determine what the object was, Sheriff’s Office spokeswoman Kathy Hoffmeyer said, but a thorough investigation and search of the school turned up

nothing that would be a threat to students and staff.

No one is expected to be charged in the incident.

“We always have to take these things seriously,” she said.

Officers from New Lenox, Will County and Frankfort police agencies assisted in responding to the situation.

Parents were informed via email or voicemail when the lockdown began and when it was lifted at about 10:30 a.m., district Director of Community Relations Taryn Atwell said.

The district’s website and Facebook page were also updated with information about the incident.

Atwell specified the lockdown started as a hard lockdown, but was changed at about 9 a.m. to a soft lockdown.

“It was handled well,” she said.

New Lenox School District 122 was also placed on a “heightened awareness” security level between 9:09 and 9:30 a.m. at the advisement of New Lenox police, assistant to the superintendent LeAnne Soltys said.

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD hlitchfield@shawmedia.com GODLEY – Steve and Joey Stone of Kankakee know how important Easter Seals is to its clients.

Their son, Steven Stone, Jr., 12, was diagnosed with periventricular leukomalacia with a secondary diagnosis of spastic diplegia cerebral palsy, when he was just 6 months old.

The family was referred to Easter Seals, where Steven was treated and given therapy.

“If Easter Seals wasn’t there I don’t know what we would have done,” Joey Stone said. “We wouldn’t be here if not for Easter Seals.”

“Here” was at the Exelon Fishing for a Cure kids fishing derby Saturday morning in Godley.

This marked the 15th annual kids

Erik Frederiksen and his son Nolan, 2, of Plainfield set up their fishing pole for the Exelon Fishing for a Cure tournament Saturday morning.

Heidi Litchfield hlitchfield@shawmedia.com

fishing derby and adult bass tournament hosted by Exelon, with money benefiting local charitable organizations. This year, the beneficiary was Easter Seals Joliet Region, which

serves six counties, including Will and Grundy.

“We couldn’t be more thankful for Exelon choosing us,” said Debra Strahanoski, development manager at Eas-

ter Seals. “The money raised will go directly to children services.”

Peggy Warnick, Braidwood Station communications manager for Exelon, said each year they try to choose a local organization that is making a positive impact.

Steve Stone was not only participating with his kids at the fishing derby.

He is also the Exelon employee who made the recommendation to choose Easter Seals as the recipient.

The event had 37 kids participate in three age divisions.

Awards were given for the most fish caught, the smallest fish caught, and the biggest fish caught.

Nearby on Braidwood Cooling Lake, 76 teams were competing for the $4,000 first place prize as well as other monetary prizes for second through 10th place.

of scrap metal ablaze at junkyard

By ANNA SCHIER aschier@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Joliet firefighters quickly extinguished a junkyard fire Thursday.

The incident occurred just before 9 p.m. at Ace Iron & Metals Inc., 11 Third Ave. in Joliet, Joliet Fire Department Capt. Mark Vershay said.

A 20-foot pile of scrap metal was ablaze at the scene, but the owner of the junkyard used a magnetic crane to break it up, Vershay said, making the fire easier to put out. It was extinguished in less than an hour.

No one was injured as a result of the incident, Vershay said.

The cause of the fire is under investigation.

JOLIET – Figliulo & Silverman is no longer representing Joliet in the Evergreen Terrace case.

A federal judge on Friday granted the Chicago law firm’s motion to withdraw from the case citing “irreconcilable differences” with its client.

Figliulo & Silverman represented the city for 11 years, including before the U.S. Supreme Court, in a case in which Joliet beat the federal government as well as owners of Evergreen Terrace in court to condemn the subsidized but privately owned housing complex.

But the relationship was fractured after a March 17 news conference in which Mayor Bob O’Dekirk and Inspector General Chris Regis said they believed crimes may have been committed in the course of city payments totaling $5.5 million to the firm.

They released a report that focused in part on $657,000 in fees paid at higher rates than what was agreed to when Figliulo & Silverman was first hired in 2005.

The Joliet Police Department is investigating the issues discussed in the inspector general’s report.

Peter Silverman, a partner in the firm, said Friday that suggestions the firm’s billing was improper are “unsubstantiated allegations that are absolutely false.”

He also said Joliet police have not contacted his firm.

“There’s no reason why they should,” he said. “It’s inconceivable that they would.”

At the news conference, Regis and O’Dekirk said any increase in rates should have been approved by the City Council. They also questioned the manner in which bills were paid after being approved by then-City Attorney Jeff Plyman.

Plyman has not returned calls for comment.

O’Dekirk declined to comment Friday on the firm’s exit from the case.

“There’s a pending criminal investigation,” he said.

O’Dekirk confirmed that the city is in the process of hiring another law firm for the case but said a firm has not been hired yet.

Joliet did not object to Figliulo & Silverman’s withdrawal from the case.

The city is awaiting a federal court decision on Evergreen Terrace ownership’s appeal of decisions to award the property to Joliet at a price of $15 million. Joliet has paid the money, but the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development has delayed the city’s takeover until the appeal is decided.

City officials have said they expect to win the appeal. But they also say they expect Evergreen Terrace to take the case to the U.S. Supreme Court.

JOLIET – A judge will take more time to decide whether a Bolingbrook man was trying to lure a child into his vehicle.

George D. Smith, 69, was charged with attempted child abduction in the Feb. 17, 2012, incident where he offered a ride to an 11-year-old girl who was walking in the 100 block of Lexing- George D. Smith ton Drive.

Smith’s attorney said he was only being helpful because the girl was carrying large bags, but prosecutors said Smith indicated there was a sexual motivation to get her into the vehicle.

Judge Amy Bertani-Tomczak, who heard the case as a bench trial, said Friday she need additional time to review the evidence. Bertani-Tomczak this week held several sentencing hearings in unrelated cases.

OBITUARIES ROGER G. TURNBOUGH Born: Sept. 4, 1958 Died: May 3, 2016

The ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO – An investigation into the fiscal condition of Chicago Public Schools ordered by Gov. Bruce Rauner shows there’s no need for state intervention.

The Illinois State Board of Education determined that the school system is not in “financial difficulty” as determined by law, the Chicago Tribune reported, but board officials say they will continue to monitor the nation’s third-largest district.

The Republican governor called for a state takeover of the financially troubled district in February. As part of that, he ordered the review, which was followed by a warning by the state attorney general that Rauner’s purview is limited.

Materials prepared for the state education board’s meeting next week note that the Chicago district plans to cut spending by $120 million in the fis-

President: Chicago State must work to find funds

CHICAGO – Chicago State University officials say the school has to find other funding streams if it wants to thrive.

During its first board meeting since the university was forced to lay off a third of its staff, President Thomas Calhoun Jr. said Friday the school won’t settle for simply remaining in “survival mode.’”

He said Chicago State is in the second decade of a consistent decline in state funding.

The university has started a telethon to solicit donations from more than 40,000 alumni.

The Illinois Senate agreed Thursday to spend an additional $454 million on struggling colleges and universities. It’s a stopgap as lawmakers continue a standoff over a full budget.

Bald eagle found shot in Southern Illinois recovering

URBANA – A bald eagle found with a gunshot wound in Southern Illinois is

cal year beginning July 1 while still dealing with ever-larger required payments to teacher retirement accounts.

But the cut will allow the district to skirt a “negative operational budget” until 2019, board staff concluded.

“It’s clear in our analysis CPS has financial challenges and a spending problem,” state school board spokeswoman Laine Evans said in a statement. “However, at this time they do not meet the criteria for certification of financial difficulty, as defined per statute. ISBE will continue to monitor the situation and the district’s finances.”

CPS spokeswoman Emily Bittner said in a statement that the board’s conclusion “demonstrates that Gov. Rauner’s attempts to drive CPS into bankruptcy are misguided and wrong.”

The district must make a $675 million pension payment next month.

Officials said they can cover that bill only with short-term borrowing and

that the Legislature must rectify problems with the statewide school-funding formula.

“You don’t need an actuary or an accountant to know CPS has financial problems,” Rauner spokeswoman Catherine Kelly said in a statement.

“Otherwise, the district wouldn’t be repeatedly asking the state for an additional half a billion dollars.”

The district complained about Rauner’s request to turn over loads of financial information, but did so anyway. Attorney General Lisa Madigan issued a legal opinion agreeing with the schools, noting that state law deals with Chicago schools differently than others in the state.

Financially weak districts outside Chicago are subject to state authority to approve budgeting. But Madigan noted when it comes to Chicago schools, the state’s only role in dealing with fiscal stress is to “notify the governor and the mayor.”

recovering and is expected to fly again after having surgery this week.

The News-Gazette reported that the 1-year-old female eagle had surgery Thursday at the University of Illinois Veterinary Teaching Hospital.

The gunshot wound was found in a CT scan after the eagle was rescued and taken to the university’s Wildlife Clinic.

The wound had healed incorrectly, leaving the eagle unable to fly enough to survive in the wild.

The eagle is resting and on pain medication after Thursday’s three-hour surgery.

Dr. Nicki Rosenhagen said the prognosis “looks good.”

along with a 17-year-old male.

Police say they found a backpack in the SUV that had three pellet guns inside.

They also found pellet cartridges.

Simmons and Taylor were released from jail Friday after bond court. The 17-yearold was taken to the Youth Assessment Center.

Teens arrested for allegedly shooting people with BBs

URBANA – Police arrested two high school teens and took another into custody Friday after they allegedly fired BB guns at pedestrians in Champaign and Urbana.

The Champaign News-Gazette reported that police conducted a traffic stop about 7:25 p.m. Friday after a 56-year-old man reported being hit in the leg with a pellet fired from a gun by someone in a passing SUV. The man said he was fired at about 10 times.

In the vehicle were 18-year-old Michael Simmons and 18-year-old Ladarius Taylor,

SIU campuses expect enrollment dip, blame Springfield

CARBONDALE – Southern Illinois University is expecting another dip in enrollment this fall. Officials are blaming unrest and uncertainty with the state budget.

The Carbondale Southern Illinoisan reported that SIU Carbondale Chancellor Brad Colwell told the board of trustees parents and students are telling administrators they are “worried about what’s happening in Illinois.”

Gridlock in Springfield between Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner and Democrats who control the Legislature has delayed a budget plan for the year that began July 1.

Colwell said university research indicates students are leaving the state for college.

He would not say how much he expected enrollment to decline. It was down 4 percent – 700 students – last fall.

Democrat Hillary Clinton, a millionaire, and Republican Donald Trump, a billionaire, likely will be rivals in the November presidential election.

2016: A billionaire and a millionaire in year of populism

By BILL BARROW and CATHERINE LUCEY The Associated Press

ST. CLAIRSVILLE, Ohio – Pick a president: New York multimillionaire or New York multibillionaire.

In Ohio River coal country, Nelson Travis said he begrudgingly will choose the billionaire: real estate mogul Donald Trump. Nonetheless, Travis argues, neither the presumptive Republican nominee nor Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton gets people like him.

“They’re both out of touch with people’s everyday reality,” the 64-year-old Republican said, dismissing Clinton’s talk of “breaking down barriers” and Trump’s “make America great again” motto.

The likely November rivals’ personal portfolios don’t exactly square with the populist wave defining 2016.

Trump, a multimillionaire’s son, is worth about $4.5 billion according to Forbes, although he claims more. Forbes estimates Clinton to be worth about $45 million, a fortune built entirely since she and her husband, President Bill Clinton, left the White House in 2001.

But the candidate who connects with the widest swath of “average Americans” (median household income of about $54,000) will find the clearest path to the Oval Office.

The connection will prove particularly important in Rust Belt, Great Lakes and Midwestern states stretching from Pennsylvania to Iowa, where Democrats have prevailed in recent presidential elections but by narrow enough margins to give Trump hope.

“We are in a new age of economic populism,”

explains Dave “Mudcat” Saunders, a Democratic strategist who helped craft John Edwards’ “Two Americas” presidential campaign in 2004.

“People are hurting. They’re mad, and they want somebody who’ll do something about it.”

Trump and Clinton are addressing their personal wealth differently.

Unlike previous wealthy nominees, such as Republican Mitt Romney in 2012 and Democrat John Kerry in 2004, Trump plays up – and boasts about – his riches. Clinton is more likely to talk about her middle-class childhood than her current accounts. She took heat for saying she and her husband were “flat broke” when his second term ended, and she has struggled against her Democratic rival Bernie Sanders, who has made income inequality his core issue.

Going into a general election matchup, Trump appears to have the upper hand with the most frustrated voters.

Throngs roar at his calls to build a wall at the Mexican border, close all U.S. borders to noncitizen Muslims, and “bring back the jobs” from China and Mexico. He promises to “take care of people” and not cut Social Security or Medicare.

“Even though he’s rich, and he’s always been rich, he’s just like Bob in the country,” said Terri Reschley, 62, of Indianola, Iowa.

Clinton offers a different style, although aimed at the same voters. She talks about raising minimum wages, improving education and creating jobs, peppering her remarks with anecdotes of people she meets campaigning. Clinton also speaks of her mother’s tough childhood and her small-businessman father’s efforts to “provide us with a middle-class life.”

Having their mothers come to school meant a lot to the third-graders.

“I always like it when my mom or dad come to school,” Ubaldo said.

Finding time can be difficult for working mothers, however.

“The challenge is balancing between work and home and sports,” Sabrina Swidergal said.

Her son, Cam, likes to fill her in on what’s happening at school.

“He comes home every day and tells me what they’re learning,” Swidergal said.

“Trying to fit everything in – it’s the typical challenge everyone faces,” Kelly Kemp said while getting an arm massage from her daughter, Bridget.

“She does cheerleading, tumbling and softball,” Kemp said. “Her brother does baseball, wrestling, track.”

Watching them grow

Aside from being active, Kemp said, her two children are very different, which she finds one of the fascinating things about motherhood.

“You have two kids. You raise them the same, and they have two different personalities,” Kemp said of Bridget and her brother, John Jr. “It’s amazing to me.”

“Every morning, he hugs me and tells me he loves me,” Poyner said.

She does worry about the challenges the future can bring.

“It’s a different world than what we grew up in,” Poyner said. “I see more

Tracy Jackson also worries about what her two daughters can be exposed to when she is away from home.

O’Dekirk also noted that the city agreed to contribute $10 million to the county to build a courthouse downtown. He said plans for a downtown courthouse had “languished for years” and the county had looked at specific sites in other areas.

“We decided that wasn’t going to happen,” he said.

Marycrest management could not be reached Friday for comment.

The Golden Corral and Rax restaurants, both of which border Marycrest, have signs posted warning customers that they can be towed or booted if they park in the wrong area.

Alina Bosze, general manager at Golden Corral, said the sign went up Easter Sunday when she was told cus-

tomers’ cars were getting booted.

Adams said no one from Golden Corral was booted that day. But customers from Al’s Steak House, located across Hammes Avenue from Marycrest, were getting booted.

Bosze said she expects a lot of business on Sunday for Mother’s Day. So, she will have someone in the parking lot making sure customers do not

park in areas where they can get booted.

“I’m still keeping the sign there, because, in my mind, they will come up with something,” she said.

O’Dekirk said Joliet will enforce the new ordinance if cars are booted.

“We have an ordinance that says they can’t,” O’Dekirk said. “We’ll enforce the ordinance.”

BUSINESS

Speculating and investing not the same thing Dear Mr. Berko: Starting in October, my stockbroker pitched a company called Sarepta Therapeutics. Apparently, it has developed a drug that could be a blockbuster in six months, and the stock could double to $80. Finally, in December, I invested $38,000 for 1,000 shares on margin because there wasn’t enough cash in my account. Sarepta is now $18, and I’m burning mad about this loss. My broker is still bullish and wants me to invest in another 1,000 shares, reducing my basis to $28. What do you think?

– JL, Fort Walton Beach, Florida Dear JL: I think, by crikey and

gadzooks, that you’re dumber than a beer can! Never, ever borrow money to speculate. But stupid is as stupid does, and you’ve lost $20,000 in five months. Although, consider yourself blessed by an angel; had you bought Sarepta (SRPT-$18) in October in the high $50s, your loss would have been nearly twice as much.

Among the most significant problems facing Americans is that too many of us have investment IQs below freezing. Most Americans don’t understand compound interest, can’t compute current yields or grasp yield to maturity. And most don’t know the difference between the national debt

TAKING STOCK Malcolm Berko and the deficit. Nor do they understand the difference between speculating and investing.

SRPT, which hasn’t earned a dime since God’s dog was a puppy, burns money like a blast furnace and doesn’t produce a marketable product. It’s a bleeping insufferable, rank speculation, not an investment – though it may be an insufferably good speculation. Generally, if a stock has a decent balance sheet and income statement, a record of revenues, earnings and dividends, and produces products in demand by consumers, then it’s considered an investment. And it may be a lousy investment.

Sarepta is a biopharmaceutical company that seems to have developed “an antisense phosphorodiamidate morpholino oligomer” therapeutic.

Because that’s a mouthful, management gave it a less unpronounceable name, Eteplirsen. I haven’t an inkling of what Eteplirsen does, but recent phase 3 trials indicate impressive success in the treatment of a virulent

strain of Duchenne muscular dystrophy, a genetic disorder that destroys the body’s muscles. Duchenne usually affects young boys. Those afflicted are unable to walk by the age of 12.

The disease also severely damages the heart and lungs. The fatality rate is 100 percent. No one has lived past age 25. Clinical trials treating 9-year-old boys began in 2011.

After four years of treatment, 10 out of 12 boys could still walk. In a comparable group, none of the dozen boys taking the placebo could walk. And wonder of wonders, zero side effects or safety concerns were reported. In February, 38 physicians plus leading experts in this field who examined thousands of Duchenne patients posted a very positive opinion letter on Eteplirsen to the Food and Drug Administration.

But the FDA seems to have “mental dystrophy.” It trusts only large clinical trials and refuses to approve the drug. The FDA demands a massive study of 5,000 Duchenne muscular dystrophy patients in a double-blind trial. In a double-blind study, half the test group would receive Eteplirsen (“the right stuff”) while the other half would get a placebo (the wrong stuff).

But because Duchenne patients are

so rare, such a trial would be nearly impossible. And more importantly, it’s ethically questionable. Would you sign up your 9-year-old boy for 100 weeks of muscular injections and high-risk biopsies if the drug your kid would get could be a saline solution?

Some say the FDA is a bureaucracy of Borg-like employees actively moldering in numerous government agencies with increasing frequency.

Federal jobs for these low-skilled, overpaid, vacuous employees are entitlements, and they can’t be fired.

They are the quintessential federal bureaucrats, and their daily activities include considerable efforts to justify their jobs.

Next time you get the itch to speculate, consider a call option and reduce your risks. A January 2017 call to buy SRPT at $38 would cost you $2 today. If Eteplirsen were to be approved – and eventually, I’m told, it will be – SRPT could run back to your $38 purchase price. But the option value would grow nineteenfold, to $38, and you’d have a $16 profit per option.

OUR VIEW

Thanking mom for the start of our journey

Editor’s note: We wish a Happy Mother’s Day to all of the moms out there. We honor them today in this editorial, which first appeared in the May 10, 2015, edition of The Herald-News.

Long before Anna Jarvis campaigned in the early 20th century to make Mother’s Day a recognized holiday, many individuals were familiar with these words in Proverbs 31:28: “Her children arise up, and call her blessed.”

What is it that makes us – no matter what relationship we had with our mothers and regardless of culture or religious affiliation – honor motherhood in some formal way?

Although the United States has celebrated Mother’s Day since about 1908, it’s not the only event ever dedicated to mothers. Mothering Sunday falls on the fourth Sunday of Lent for some Christian denominations. The ancient Greeks and Romans held annual spring festivals to their mother goddesses.

The term “mother” conjures different images to different people, but for many, it’s associated with nurturing, warmth, safety, love.

This mindset of mothers shows in the way we speak.

To “father a child” is synonymous with conception, but “mothering a child” implies a long-term relationship.

Society is quick to label women as “bad” mothers when they don’t live up to the ideal. Mothers can feel like “bad” mothers when they don’t consistently model the ideal – or take time to meet their own needs.

If our own mother didn’t wear the “gentle and caring” label, we, too, might call her a “bad” mother. Even in the 21st century, mothers worry if “working” could harm their child, although historically, women have always worked – and worked hard.

But mothers, because they are people, fail like anyone else. Throughout history, mothers have been heroes, but they have also been criminals. They have been single parents, widows, farm wives, corporation heads, activists, feminists, handmaids. They have been employed, unemployed and full-time domestic engineers.

Some people regard their mothers with reverence; others can’t put sufficient distance between themselves and their mothers and are already rolling their eyes at yet another column extolling the virtues of motherhood.

For those who disagree with some of the decisions their mothers made for, because or in spite of them – which is probably most of us – let’s agree to commend mothers for the one universal thing all mothers from all time have done.

Willingly or unwillingly, they carried us for part of our life’s journey.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

An uphill fight begins for Trump Right now, businessman and reality TV star Donald Trump has no Republican rivals except himself.

He won the Indiana primary and the media reaction was swift, declarative and breathless. David Brody tweeted a picture of a mock newspaper with the headline “The Fat Lady Sings.”

Carl Bernstein, whose reporting with Bob Woodward took down Richard Nixon, appeared on CBS News and declared Trump to be “a revolutionary.” (Pause, while President Washington spins in his grave over that characterization.)

Before the Indiana ballot machines were placed back in storage, my inbox was flooded with headlines from the nation’s most prestigious, iconic newspapers, every one of which declared Trump to be the Republican Party nominee. Most of these headlines came before Ted Cruz and John Kasich ended their campaigns.

VIEWS Donna Brazile Though Trump’s Indiana win sets him coasting to the nomination, he still has to win California’s and New Jersey’s June 7 primaries to reach the “magic number” of 1,237 delegates that would clinch the nomination. Despite the press declaration, it is Cruz’s and Kasich’s withdrawals that almost guarantee Trump’s nomination.

Press coverage was different on the Democratic side. The Democratic Party’s presumptive nominee, Hillary Clinton, was barely mentioned. “Sanders’ Win Keeps His Campaign Alive,” the Los Angeles Times declared.

CBS News summed up the Democrats’ Indiana primary with “Despite Indiana Loss, Clinton Intends to Rally Support Against Trump.” These

kinds of headlines bumped heads with ones that say “Clinton Widening Her Lead Over Trump in Polls.”

Clinton is ahead in the number of delegates she needs to secure by this point – by 106 percent. Nate Silver’s FiveThirtyEight forecasts the odds of Clinton winning California at 95 percent to Sanders’ 5 percent.

Cruz finally realized his brand of hard-right conservatism is in the minority, and publicly acknowledged as much. Bill Kristol, editor of the mainstream conservatism magazine The Weekly Standard, bitterly tweeted, “If you’re for Trump, you functionally are for a man unfit to be president, and for the degradation of Am. Conservatism.” What went unreported is that Trump is no conservative.

As for Kasich, some are saying he wants to be Trump’s vice president. They are so wrong.

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

As a volunteer for the past several years, let me tell you that the Rialto still has a lot of value to Joliet. I “work” for a great person, Leann Hoffrogge, who taught me a lot about the theater and its history.

You would be surprised by the number of first-time visitors to the theater who have questions and when I share the history of the theater that Leann taught me, they are amazed!

They simply say the theater is beautiful and they will return.

Continued from page 35 Kasich’s personal distaste for Trump is far more intense than Americans’ distaste for Limburger cheese.

Besides, Trump has asked retired neurosurgeon Dr. Ben Carson to be on standby to help him find a suitable mate.

For now, the GOP’s long and exhausting primary race is over. The Democrats will continue to battle it out for delegates until the final votes are cast on June 14 in the District of Columbia.

Sanders’ path to the nomination is tough, although he continues to talk about a contested convention and fired a new broadside charge against Clinton. Sanders accused her of “money laundering” state party funds to

her own campaign, which is not true.

Make no errors here, Sanders still has it in his craw to win, and believes he can.

In politics, a week is like a century.

A casual remark, a devastating new revelation, an event that changes what issue matters most to the public, all these can stop a winning candidate. Having said that, barring the unforeseen, the November race will be between Clinton and Trump.

Indiana gave us a taste of what’s to come. Cruz blasted Trump as a “serial philanderer,” and dug up an out-ofcontext quote from a 2004 Howard Stern interview that Trump gave about “sleeping around.” The real news from the interview was Trump had his doctor check out all his dates for social diseases. Said Trump, “I feel like a great and very brave soldier.”

For his part, Trump reached into

New York’s seedy tabloids to link Ted Cruz’s father, a minister, with JFK’s assassin. “What was he doing with Lee Harvey Oswald shortly before the death, I mean before the shooting?” Trump bellowed on “Fox and Friends.” After Ted Cruz withdrew, Trump told CNN, “Of course I don’t believe it.”

With a man like Trump as the Republican candidate, the campaign tone is not going to get any better.

So the pivot to the fall election has started: Trump’s unconventional race and Clinton’s uphill climb. Can Trump unite his party and bring all the various conservative factions back to the table? Will the decisions of former Presidents George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush not to comment or participate in the upcoming election hurt Trump’s ability to consolidate the moderate wing of the GOP?

And what about women voters? Will they embrace a candidate known for making disparaging remarks about females?

Sanders is going all the way to the convention to help reshape the Democratic Party to ensure his campaign message of addressing income inequality and getting big money out of politics are embraced by everyone.

With the GOP race all but over, Clinton will have to quell the Sanders’ insurgency while simultaneously looking beyond the convention at how to take on a most unique challenge in Donald Trump.

Rodgers, Meyer shine for Lockport at Bill Jackson Invitational

By CURT HERRON cherron@shawmedia.com LOCKPORT – Derrius Rodgers intended to go out with a bang during his final competition on his own track, and the Lockport senior certainly didn’t disappoint.

Participating in a Bill Jackson Invitational that was among the state’s best meets this weekend, Rodgers showed why he ranks among the top Class 3A competitors in both the 100 and 200 after easily winning those races and also running on a victorious 4x200 relay.

And with sophomore sensation John Meyer picking up another sweep of shot put and discus, the Porters gave Huntley a run for its money for top honors in the ABC invite before falling 200-186 with two pole vault flights still incomplete well after events on the track had ended.

Rodgers won the 100 by .24 seconds in 10.6 and captured the 200 by .46 seconds in a school-best time of 21.42. He also joined Chris Gargano, Jesse Bustami and Sheldon Snapp in a winning 4x200 relay, that had a time of 1:27.62, which was .94 better than second place. That same group also was third in the 4x100 relay (42.51).

“We hadn’t had a meet here, so it felt really good to get out here under the lights and run for the home crowd,” Rodgers said. “I had big expectations and got a couple of PR’s, so that’s the way to do it. Everything’s moving in a good direction, but we understand that we have a lot of work to do. We’re getting to our goals and the hard work is definitely paying off.”

While Meyer fell short of reaching 60-0 in shot put, his 59-5 effort was still good enough for a new meet record and was 6-6 better than second place. He also turned in a 168-5 throw in discus, which was more than 20 feet farther than the runner-up.

“I just tried my best and even though I didn’t hit the 60-0 that I wanted, you have to deal with the 59’s and so on,” Meyer said. “You’d rather do this here than at sectionals. I think things are going really good. As long as I keep practicing well, then I’ll do good in competition.”

The Porters also received a fourth from Emmanuel Amegatcher in the 110 hurdles (:15.5).

Plainfield North started out with a bang and also finished in a similar fashion. The Tigers set school and meet records of 41.87 by winning the 4x100 relay by .24 behind Carlos Baggett, Hunter

Houslet, Joe Stiffend and Clay Paysen.

They also won the 4x400 relay by nearly a second in 3:22.8 with Jordan Gumila, Houslet, Cory Hrobowski and Baggett.

“It was real fun to go No. 2 in Illinois in the 4x1, and we got to beat the school record, as well,” Houslet said. “And the 4x4 was just a fun race to compete in since you’re flying with your teammates. It’s cool to take the gold when you have some issues. It will be real exciting to see where we’ll be in the coming weeks if we’re healthy. Who knows how well we can run?”

While the B flights featured sever-

al fine winning efforts, few expected to see the evening’s top showing coming from that division. But that’s just what happened in high jump, where North’s Johnny McConnaughey went 6-2 to finish half an inch better than the A flight winner.

“It was an amazing feeling PR’ing today,” McConnaughey said. “Hopefully I can get to state qualifying height. I jumped 6-0 in my first meet indoors and I didn’t get that again to my last meet indoors. Outdoor season didn’t start well, either, but I PR’ed with a 6-1 on Monday.

My mom was an All-American high

jumper in college, so she’d love to see me get to state.”

The sixth-place Tigers got seconds in flight A from Arinze Ekowa in discus (148-0) and Jack Sebok in the 1,600 (4:22.14), a third from Gumila in triple jump (43-3.5), and a fourth from Brendan McGath in the 3,200 (9:51.2).

Plainfield South’s Ben Thoms was the other area champion in the A flight, capturing the title in the 110 hurdles in 15.18 to deny Fremd’s Jaden Jackson of a sweep in the hurdles. Thoms also placed fourth in the 300 hurdles (40.81).

“It was a tough race (the 110 hurdles) and I was getting a little scared seeing his foot but I just battled to win,” Thoms said. “I feel really good going into conference. I’m looking forward to sectionals and want to be a competitor at state.

This was a good confidence-booster.”

Although Plainfield East had no champions, it received several fine performances and took eighth, one spot better than Plainfield South.

Placing third for the Bengals in flight A were Robert Ogbuli in the 100 (10.99), Jarvis Carter in the 400 (49.44) and the 4x200 relay (1:29.06). Taking fourths were Prince Smith in the 200 (22.74), Josh George in the 800 (1:59.55), TJ Alexander in pole vault (13-7) and Jamie Pringle in long jump (21-6.25).

GIRLS SOCCER: LINCOLN-WAY WEST 3, JOLIET CENTRAL 0

By CURT HERRON cherron@shawmedia.com

• Sunday, May 8, 2016

JOLIET – After having won nearly 70 percent of their matches during the past five seasons, it should come as no surprise that Lincoln-Way West’s girls soccer team is favored to capture a fourth regional title over that span.

And while his teams have reached sectional finals the past two years, West coach Jeff Theiss knows better than to take anything for granted heading into the Class 2A playoffs.

But Theiss can be excused for being upbeat about not only how West is playing now, but also with the chemistry on the squad as regular season play winds down.

West improved to 14-5 after claiming a 3-0 nonconference win at Joliet Central on Saturday. It has won four straight and eight of its last 10 heading into its last two scheduled matches.

The Warriors are top-seeded in their sub-sectional of the Peoria Notre Dame Sectional and will host a regional. The favorite in the other subsectional is Notre Dame, which beat West in last year’s LaSalle-Peru Sectional championship.

“We set goals to get better every day and take every game and training as an opportunity and these girls buy into that,” Theiss said. “We were moving players around but they’re comfortable in the system. I’ve seen our soccer IQ improve and this group is clicking.

Early on, they were thinking too much of where they needed to be and now they’re just playing.

“Our finishing was a little bit frustrating, but everywhere else, the girls looked balanced, were communicating and were doing a great job distributing the ball and connecting to feet and not just trying to go direct all day. This is going to be a hungry group for the playoff run.”

The Warriors scored twice in the latter part of the opening half to take control and then added a late goal to defeat a Steelwomen squad that put up a good fight throughout the match.

“We knew that they were going to come out hard and that they’re a very good team,” Central coach Erin Hammond said. “In the first half we made some mistakes and they got two in, but in the second half we came out much better. Unfortunately we didn’t get one in, but the girls battled and played hard and that was good to see going into our last week of the season.

“One of our goals for the season is to never give up so I tell the girls that no matter what the score is, keep your heads up and battle to the end. We’ve got some injuries and not many subs so

Joliet Central’s Abby Tropp (22) moves the ball up field from Lincoln-Way West’s Breanna Bembenek (22). a lot of the girls played 80 minutes and they play with a lot of heart.”

West struck first in the 24th minute while facing a strong wind when Breanna Bembenek sent a cross in front that Brianna Heyer got a touch on for a score from close range.

After keeper Juana Zamudio came up with some nice stops, the Warriors connected again in the 32nd minute

when Heyer found Bembenek and she put in a shot from the side to give the visitors a 2-0 lead and it remained that way heading into the break.

“We have a young group, so the senior leaders have stepped up and shown them the ropes,” West’s Becca Rodriguez said. “Now that we’ve gotten through the season, the younger ones are starting to know how we move and

it makes us work as a family. We hang out a lot and that translates on the field because we have a relationship that’s deeper than soccer.”

Early in the final half, Central started to apply more pressure on keeper Erin Toomey, who posted her seventh shutout. Karla Contreras had a try deflected for a corner kick and Abby Tropp sent a free kick just wide of the mark.

After Heyer bounced one off the post and Hailey Souder sent the rebound wide, Central’s Hayley Bazan had an attempt that was cleared by a defender. New Steelwomen keeper Ashley Caracheo thwarted a try from Meghan Schick and a free kick by Madison Mikalauski, who had a series of corner kicks that were well-placed, but led to few good chances.

The Warriors connected again in the late going when Souder found Mikalauski, who scored to put the finishing touches on the victory.

“We’re a real close group and we all work really hard for each other and never give up,” Souder said. “With everyone doing that, it’s helped us to get wins. I like our work ethic and how we go hard to every ball and also how we make every minute count on the field.

Being so close and hanging out outside of soccer, we have unity both on the field and off.”

A Mother’s Day gem: Roark vs. Arrieta How big will the Wilmington contingent be Sunday afternoon at Wrigley Field for the Cubs’ Mother’s Day game against the Washington Nationals?

There likely will be scores of Tanner Roark’s family and old friends on hand.

The 2004 Wilmington graduate will be the starting pitcher for the Nationals.

That in itself is special enough, but how about the matchup. Roark will be going against none other than Jake Arrieta.

Arrieta, of course, has been operating on another planet since the middle of the 2015 season. This year, he is 6-0 with a 0.84 ERA. I heard a stat the other day that the Cubs’ run differential in games he has pitched this season is larger than the run differential for any other major league team.

In other words, when Arrieta pitches, the Cubs play with maximum confidence.

On the other hand, you could argue Roark has been among the National League’s best pitchers not wearing a Cubs’ uniform, especially lately. All he lacks is the big name.

In six starts, the right-hander is 2-2 with a 2.35 ERA. He has pitched 381⁄3 innings and allowed 30 hits while walk-

er call the action, it is quite a Mother’s Day matchup.

AROUND THE DIAMOND

ing 15 and striking out 34. Opponents are hitting .216 against him.

In his outing last Tuesday night at Kansas City, he allowed six hits and four runs, three earned, in 7 1⁄3 innings.

He was in line for his third victory, but that was the night Jonathan Papelbon blew a save opportunity.

In Roark’s two starts before that, he struck out 15 Twins and pitched two-hit ball over seven shutout innings, then struck out six Phillies while throwing two-hit ball, again over seven shutout innings.

It may be awhile before any opposing pitcher beats the high-scoring Cubs on a day Arrieta pitches, but it has to happen sometime, doesn’t it? If the 15-strikeout game wasn’t enough to get Roark’s name out there nationally, a victory over Arrieta could get the job done.

Anyway, whether you are at Wrigley, watching the game on television or listening to Pat Hughes and Ron Coom-

Roark is not the only Joliet-area pitcher who will be on the mound Mother’s Day afternoon. Mike Foltynewicz (Minooka) also will have that distinction as he goes for Atlanta against Arizona’s Patrick Corbin.

Foltynewicz made his first start since being recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett last week, and he allowed four first-inning runs to the Mets on three homers. His final line was 3 2⁄3 innings, eight hits, those four earned runs, two walks and four strikeouts.

• Tony Cingrani (Lincoln-Way Central) is 0-2 with one save and a 3.14 ERA in 13 relief appearances for Cincinnati, whose bullpen has been a study in futility in the early going. Cingrani has struck out 13 and allowed only 10 hits in 14 1⁄3 innings but also has walked 10.

• Left-hander Dietrich Enns (Lincoln-Way East), a Yankees’ farmhand, is pitching at Double-A Trenton. He opened the season with 23 2⁄3 consecutive scoreless innings before allowing eight hits and four earned runs in five

innings Friday against Arkansas.

Enns, who had Tommy John surgery on his elbow two summers ago, was drafted out of Central Michigan by the Yankees in the 19th round in 2012.

He is 14-10 in his minor league career with an impressive 1.85 ERA. He also has struck out 255 in 238 innings.

Although never considered a bigtime prospect, Enns may be in play for a shot at the big leagues some day down the road.

• Lefty Tyler Jay (Lemont) threw 6 1⁄3 shutout innings in his most recent outing and is 2-2 with a 3.86 ERA at A-Advanced Fort Myers in the Minnesota Twins’ organization. The 2015 first-round draft pick was an outstanding closer in college at Illinois, but the Twins are grooming him to be a starter.

• First baseman Sam Travis (Providence), who like Jay has a big-league future, is hitting .294 (30 for 102) for Triple-A Pawtucket in the Red Sox system. He has two homers, 15 RBIs, a .354 on-base percentage and a .422 slugging percentage.

SOFTBALL: MINOOKA 7, MORRIS 3

Cerven scores 3 runs as Minooka beats Morris

By ROB OESTERLE roesterle@shawmedia.com MORRIS – The primary job of the leadoff hitter is to get on base and score a run. Lexi Cerven played her role nearly perfectly Friday afternoon as Minooka scored a 7-3 win over Grundy County rival Morris in nonconference action.

Cerven reached and scored in each of her first three at-bats, helping the Indians (9-11) build a cushion that was more than enough for sophomore pitcher Alex Loizon to work with for her first varsity win.

“It felt good to get on base and score,” Cerven said. “We got some bunts down and we got some timely hits that brought the runners around. We just kept adding a run here and a run there and the defense did its job and made the plays.”

Cerven led off the game with a single up the middle, then stole second and third before scoring on an RBI grounder

by Sally Tyrell. With one out in the third, Cerven singled again and stole second before going to third on a grounder to short by Audrey Hanouw and scoring on an error on a ball hit by Julie Czerniakowski. In the fifth, when Minooka broke the game open with three runs,

Rob Oesterle – roesterle@shawmedia.com

Minooka’s Lexi Cerven slides safely into home with the game’s first run during a 7-3 win over Morris on Friday. Cerven scored three times for the Indians.

Cerven walked to lead off the inning, went to second on an infield single by Hanouw and scored on a single to left by Czerniakowski. An out later, a double to left by Shannon Stuckley gave Minooka a 7-2 lead.

“Lexi is our sparkplug,” Minooka coach Mark Brown said. “If she gets on base, with her speed we can have her steal second and third and not have to sacrifice an out. Then, any out becomes

a productive out because she’s probably going to score.

“We did a good job of putting the ball in play and making them make plays.

Our bats are heating up a little bit and we are playing better defensively. That all helped take the pressure off of Alex.

Every pitch didn’t have to be perfect.

She could just go out there and throw strikes, which she did.”

Morris (17-7) countered with a run of

its own in the bottom of the first when leadoff hitter Jasmine Cook walked, was bunted to second by Abby Burns, went to third on a grounder by Janelle Brehm and scored on an error on a ball hit by losing pitcher Ashley Phelps.

Neither team scored in the second, and Phelps hit a line-drive homer over the center-field fence in the bottom of the third to tie the game at 2. Minooka took the lead for good in the top of the fourth with a pair of unearned runs.

Morris left the bases loaded in the second inning and had runners on second and third with one out in the fourth, but failed to score in that inning as well.

“We made too many errors in the field and didn’t get a timely hit in a couple innings when we could have used one,” Morris coach Jen Lowery said.

“Ashley pitched great, but we didn’t do a lot to help her out.

“It’s been a long week [Friday was Morris’ fourth game in four days], but that’s the way it goes at this point in the season. We have two games tomorrow [Saturday at home against Geneseo and Willowbrook], so we aren’t done.

We need to just come back out and keep playing like we have most of the year and put this one behind us.”

42 SOFTBALL: PLAINFIELD CENTRAL 7, LOCKPORT 3

Daly, Plainfield Central knock off Lockport

By DICK GOSS dgoss@shawmedia.com

LOCKPORT – In the fifth inning of Saturday’s nonconference softball matchup, Lockport’s Halle Hollatz drilled a 2-2 pitch from Plainfield Central’s Brooklyn Daly into the right-center field gap for a three-run double to get the Porters back within 6-3.

An inning later, after Zara Voulgaris had opened the inning with a double high off the fence in left field, Hollatz again stepped up with the bases loaded. This time, Daly induced an inning-ending comebacker, and Central went on to win, 7-3.

“I haven’t really been hitting well this season,” Hollatz said. “I was 0 for 3 yesterday (in a 12-3 win over Bolingbrook) until I hit a homer the last time up.

“The first time with the bases full today, I tried to get something that at least could cut their lead in half. The next time, she (Daly) threw me all change-ups. I knew it was coming, but I was a little overanxious and reached for one that I hit back to her.”

“I love her in the box in that (bases-loaded) situation,” Lockport coach Marissa Chovanec said of Hollatz. “I

was glad she was in there.”

Daly’s mission – and the approach Central coach Anne Campbell wants the junior right-hander to take – is one batter at a time.

“Really? I didn’t realize it was the same batter,” Daly said when asked if she tried to pitch differently to Hollatz in the second bases-loaded situation.

“I just pitch to each batter.”

“She doesn’t have to worry about any stuff like that,” Campbell said.

“She works on one batter at a time.”

The outcome may carry extra significance for the Wildcats (14-8) and the Porters (15-7) with coaches’ online voting for sectional seeds scheduled Monday.

Lockport had an opportunity to jump ahead early, but Daly escaped a bases-loaded, nobody-out situation in the bottom of the first. The key defensive play was Central shortstop Sammi Newtoff fielding a ground ball and using her rifle arm to get a forceout at home.

“We talked about that first inning after the game,” Chovanec said. “We have to capitalize on more bases-loaded situations. That inning set the tone for the game.”

“The last couple games we have got-

ten out of the first inning, and that set the tone,” Campbell said. “If we make an error and allow a run or two to score, we can get down on ourselves.

“It’s been a learning process all year. If we play well, we’re a good team. If we do not execute, we’re not good.”

Alejandro Ochoa’s single off the glove of Lockport starting pitcher Lauren Stoch ignited a two-run second inning as the Wildcats took a 2-0 lead.

They stretched it to 3-0 in the third as Daly ripped the first of her four consecutive hits, and her courtesy runner, Avery Medina, eventually scored on Courtney Polanski’s wind-blown single to center.

Lockport sophomore reliever Elly Hagen retired the first two batters in the fourth inning before Sara Peterson, Maria Connell, Daly and Ochoa hit consecutive singles to plate two runs and make it 5-0. An error, Newtoff’s single and Peterson’s long double made it 6-0 in the fifth.

“Elly (Hagen) did a good job,” Chovanec said. “A couple of our pitchers, Baile Delrose and Justine (Cielenski), weren’t available today.”

Central finished with 13 hits and left 13 runners on base. In addition to

Daly’s four hits, Newtoff, Peterson, Connell and Ochoa all had two. Newtoff homered to center field in the seventh inning for the final run.

“We hit the ball really well,” Campbell said. “That was good to see.”

The defense behind Daly also was huge. The Wildcats’ infield turned what Campbell said were “our first two double plays all year.”

The third inning ended with a double play from second baseman Ochoa to shortstop Newtoff to first baseman Bri Blaskey.

After Hollatz’s bases-clearing double in the fifth, the Porters had a chance to score more. But Stephanie Wietendorf, filling in a third base with Sammy Sabor not available on prom weekend, stabbed a hard ground ball, stepped on the bag and fired across the diamond for another inning-ending double play.

Even with the double plays, Lockport stranded 11 runners.

“We’ll see them again in the sectional,” said Hollatz, who had two of the Porters’ six hits off Daly. “I hope the next time we don’t leave people on base. We should have jumped on them in the first inning and didn’t.

“I hope we learn from this one.”

BASEBALL: GAME 1: JCA 6, ST. VIATOR 3; GAME 2: ST. VIATOR 11, JCA 4

Fellows has big day as JCA splits games with St. Viator

By DRAKE SKLEBA Shaw Media Correspondent ARLINGTON HEIGHTS – It was supposed to be Senior Day for the East Suburban Catholic Conference leading Joliet Catholic baseball team Saturday.

Instead, the doubleheader against St. Viator was moved to Arlington Heights after morning rain left Gillespie Field unplayable The venue did not matter to Drake Fellows (6-0), who struck out 15 as JCA (13-11, 8-4) prevailed, 6-3, in Game 1. In Game 2, however, St. Viator (15-11, 6-7) batted around in the fifth and sixth innings en route to an 11-4 victory and a split.

The Hilltoppers thus cling to a halfgame lead over Notre Dame (15-6, 7-4) and Marist (14-9, 7-4), and a one-game lead over their next opponent, Marian Catholic (17-8, 8-6).

The Hilltoppers will travel to Chicago Heights on Monday and host the

Spartans Wednesday.

In Game 1, the Hilltoppers scored twice in the bottom of the first inning.

KC Simonich hammered an RBI double over the centerfielder’s head, and Fellows followed with an RBI single for a 2-0 lead. JCA added an unearned run in the fourth for a 3-0 lead before the Lions closed to within 3-2 on RBI singles from Cole Kmet and Jack Coney in the top of the fifth.

“Big win for us today. Drake (Fellows) pitched well. We made all the plays,” Simonich said. “I really hit the ball hard on my RBI double.”

JCA picked up three unearned runs in the bottom of the fifth to break the game open. Justin Conant’s sacrifice bunt was fielded and thrown down the first base line, scoring Joey Buhay, who had singled. Simonich was walked to load the bases and Fellows singled home another run to make it 5-2. Jack Surin was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded, adding an insurance run.

Meanwhile, Fellows was dealing.

His strikeouts by inning were 2, 2, 2, 3, 2, 2 and 2 for his 15 punchout game.

With two outs in the top of the seventh, after giving up a home run to St. Viator’s Pat Sullivan, Fellows was replaced by Jack Howard. He struck out the last Lion batter for 16 Hilltopper strikeouts.

“I had a good day on the mound,” Fellows said. “My pitches were all working, my velocity was good and my slider was special today. At the plate, I am really seeing the ball well this season. It felt good to drive in the runs for us.”

“An interesting morning for us,” JCA coach Jared Voss said. “We had to hop on the bus and have our Senior Day up here. Drake Fellows was outstanding on the mound and at the plate. KC (Simonich) and Drake have to be our leaders offensively as we go forth.”

Again in Game 2, the Hilltoppers struck first. First-inning RBI singles

from Fellows and Surin gave JCA a 2-0 lead. The Hilltoppers extended it to 3-1 on another RBI single from Fellows, scoring Conant, who had doubled. Simonich scored to make it 4-1 when Surin’s sacrifice was fielded and thrown down the right-field line.

Fellows finished the day 5 for 7 with four RBIs. “I’m really hitting the ball hard and trying to do everything I can to help us win and stay atop the ESCC standings,” Fellows added.

St. Viator batted around in the bottom of the fifth, scoring five times to take a 6-4 lead.. In the bottom of the sixth, the Lions batted around again and put up another 5-spot to pull away.

“This was an example of the ESCC grind on our pitchers,” Voss said.

“George (Manikas) gave us four good innings, but just couldn’t get us a fifth.

We have a huge series coming up with Marian Catholic as we head into our last six games, still atop the tough ESCC.”

AREA ROUNDUP

SUBMITTED REPORTS ROSEMONT – With an automatic berth in the NAIA Opening Round at stake, Olivet Nazarene defeated the St. Francis women’s softball team, 5-4, in nine innings on the final day of the Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference Tournament.

Megan O’Brien and Sara Braden each had an RBI while Alex Wyss had two doubles for USF, which finished 31-17. Morghan Dieringer (18-7) made her third start of the tournament.

On Friday, St. Francis beat Cardinal Stritch, 2-1, before falling to Saint Xavier, 8-0. Sara Braden and Wyss both had an RBI while Dieringer fanned six to get the win in the opener.

Comets (20-4) extend their win streak to 10 games. In the opener, Travis Schoonover had three hits while Josh Loomis (1-0) went six innings, striking out seven and giving up an earned run.

44 REGION IV DIVISION III SECTIONAL

Bats come alive in JJC slaughter-rule sweep

By DICK GOSS dgoss@shawmedia..com JOLIET – Joliet Junior College faced the prospect of playing 18 innings Saturday as the Wolves opened their bid in the Region IV Division III Sectional at Wayne L. King Jr. Field.

Kudos to the 10-run slaughter rule.

After Rock Valley opened the double-elimination event with an 8-4 victory over Milwaukee Area Tech, JJC’s Pat Kenny pitched a two-hit shutout and the Wolves scored in all four innings they batted to whip Rock Valley, 10-0.

Then, an 11-run explosion in the bottom of the third inning secured the Wolves’ 15-4 triumph over Milwaukee Tech, as left-hander Charlie Wright, a Lemont graduate, went the five-inning distance, allowing four runs on three hits.

JJC (31-27) will face Rock Valley (21-23-1) in the title game at noon Sunday, with Brennan Polcyn (Minooka) scheduled to get the ball. The Golden Eagles would have to beat the Wolves twice in order to advance to next weekend’s sectional final series. DuPage is the No. 1 seed in the other three-team event but has to battle back after dropping its first game Saturday.

JJC finished with 12 hits in each

“With an offensive day like we had, it’s a little easier to get up there and hit. It was better than our last couple of games before today. This was kind of fun.”

Steve Wittkamp Joliet Junior College baseball player game Saturday, with Jermaine Terry (Plainfield South) and Steve Wittkamp (Minooka) two of the many who joined in the fun.

Terry had two hits and was hit by a pitch against Rock Valley. Then against Milwaukee Tech (7-29), he singled, walked and hit a long sacrifice fly to center field in the 11-run inning, not missing a grand slam by much.

“If I would have really squared it up, it would have been gone,” Terry said.

In other words, if he had done what Wittkamp did three batters later ...

“Yeah, I got all of that one,” Wittkamp said of his blast well beyond the left-center field fence, his eighth homer of the season.

That was Wittkamp’s second at-bat of the inning. He had started things, when the game was tied, 3-3, with a solid single to center.

“I was only a couple batters away from batting for a third time that in-

ning,” Wittkamp noted.

“With an offensive day like we had, it’s a little easier to get up there and hit. It was better than our last couple of games before today. This was kind of fun.”

Besides Terry and Wittkamp, Jake Drada and Davis Purviance (Lockport) also had two hits against Rock Valley.

Glenn Kubek ripped a two-run triple and Wittkamp drove in two runs.

In Game 2, Jeff Szubert doubled, tripled and drove in thee runs. Kubek had two hits and two RBIs, Purviance went 2 for 2 with two-run double and Thomas Smith (Lockport) tripled in two.

“With our bats swinging like this, it’s a lot better,” Terry said.

“We swung it a little today,” JJC coach Wayne King said. “We got a little lackadaisical in the second game, but then we put up the 11spot. We’ll take the performance of the day overall.”

King said the Wolves “have to swing the bats because we have been so inconsistent at the plate all year long. It’s a scenario this year where we have had to use entirely different lineups. We haven’t nailed down a complete lineup yet.”

Whatever the “complete” lineup will look like, Terry appears set as one of the table-setters at the top, and Wittkamp is solid in the heart of the order.

“Jermaine (Terry) has really come along,” King said. “He has gotten better and better as the year has gone on.”

“I’ve been moving around in the lineup, but I am very comfortable in the leadoff spot,” Terry said.

Wittkamp said he and his teammates have been hitting the ball, but too often at the defense. Saturday was different.

“Today we used the whole field rather rolling our hands over and hitting ground balls,” he said.

“Wittkamp was cold for a bit before today, but he is our team leader in RBIs, and it was good to see him get all the hits he got today,” King said.

All the offense was huge for Kenny, who struck out four, walked two and faced two batters over the minimum, and Wright, who threw a lot of pitches but was on easy street thanks to the Wolves’ 11-run third inning.

CHICAGOLAND COLLEGIATE ATHLETIC CONFERENCE TOURNAMENT

University of Saint Francis splits pair as CCAC tourney gets rolling

By JEFF DE GRAW Shaw Media correspondent ELGIN – The University of Saint Francis baseball team split its opening two games of the Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference Tournament over the weekend at Judson University.

The double-elimination tournament decides who the second CCAC representative will be for the opening round of the NAIA National Championships.

Olivet Nazarene received the first automatic bid by virtue of claiming the regular-season champion.

On Friday, The Fighting Saints (3125), seeded seventh, won an exciting 11-inning affair, beating second-seeded Judson, 9-7, before falling to the sixth seed, Robert Morris, on Saturday, 13-10.

Against Judson, junior third baseman Nick Fleischauer (Minooka, Joliet Junior College) got the Saints on the board in the first with an RBI double, and he singled and scored in the sixth as the Saints put up three in the inning.

Fleischauer also had a sacrifice fly in the seventh to give the Saints a 6-0 lead going to the bottom of the seventh.

“We came out tonight with a lot of energy and we were relaxed,” Fleischauer said. “Sometimes we press too much, but tonight we were relaxed and you could feel it. They {Judson} are a good team and battled back, but we rolled with the punches and fought as well.”

The Eagles fought back as senior Mark DeYoung (Plainfield Central) hit a grand slam in the bottom of the seventh.

They scored a single run in the eighth and tied it with two in the ninth.

Saints sophomore Kevin Mampe (Lincoln-Way Central), who started on the mound, singled to lead off the 11th inning and eventually scored on an infield single by Rick Faron, who later scored on a Judson error.

Freshman Mike Quiram (Joliet Catholic) picked up the win in relief.

He pitched 32⁄3 innings, giving up two unearned runs in picking up his eighth victory of the season.

On Saturday, before the USF game, the CCAC all-conference first team was announced. It included Mampe as the utility player.

“It really means a lot to be first-team all-conference,” he said. “It’s a special honor that I have really worked hard for, but yet it would not be possible without the help of my teammates. We are always there for each other through the good and bad.”

Saints coach Brian Michalak talked about Mamie’s accomplishments.

“Kevin’s stats speak for themselves,” he said. “He has pitched well for us this season, does the job at the plate and has played second base, shortstop and has been a designated hitter on occasion. I don’t think there is anyone who does all that for their team.”

In the Saints’ loss to Robert Morris, Mampe was 3 for 4 with four RBIs, a home run, a double and two runs scored. Freshman Tony Faron also hit a home run.

USF built a 6-2 lead after four in-

nings, but an eight-run outburst by the Eagles in the fifth inning sealed the fate of the Saints.

“These past two games have been the tale of two cities,” Michalak said. “We were part of the winning side of a very intense game Friday and on the flip side today.

“Friday, both teams played well, the pitching was good and it was a great atmosphere. Today, there were a combined 22 runs and 24 hits – the pitching wasn’t as good. But give them (Robert Morris ) credit, they swung the bats well.”

Next up for Saint Francis is an elimination game at 1 pm Monday against St. Ambrose. Should the Saints win that game, they would play the winner of the other elimination game between Judson and the loser of the Saint Xavier-Olivet Nazarene game at 4.

“Monday, it’s win or go home,” Mampe said. “We will be ready and we just need to play our game.”

Sale becomes first 7-game winner in major leagues The ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO – Todd Frazier doubled and homered in support of Chris Sale, who survived a rocky start to become the first seven-game winner in the majors, as the Chicago White Sox rallied for a 7-2 victory over the Minnesota Twins on Saturday night.

After a two-run, 36-pitch first inning, Sale (7-0) settled down to retire 19 of the next 20 batters. In seven innings, the left-hander allowed three hits and a walk. He struck out nine, five on a called strike three.

The victory was Sale’s eighth in 13 decisions against the Twins. He entered the game with a career 4.15 ERA against Minnesota, the highest of any American League opponent.

Matt Albers and Zach Duke mopped up, as Chicago improved to 12-1 in games started by Sale or Jose Quintana this season.

The White Sox pushed over the game-winner against Ervin Santana (0-2) in the fourth inning.

Austin Jackson walked with the bases loaded to score Dionor Navarro, who had doubled for the

second of his three hits.

Navarro cut the deficit to 2-1 on a run-scoring double in the second.

In 31⁄3 innings, Santana gave up three runs, seven hits and three walks. He struck out four.

Frazier tied the score at 2-all in the third, when he slammed an 0-2 fastball over the fence in left field. The homer was his first hit in 21 at-bats this month.

Frazier added an RBI double in the seventh, when Chicago scored three runs off reliever Ryan Pressly.

One inning later, Jose Abreu doubled for the final run.

After two outs in the first, five consecutive Twins reached base for an early lead.

Miguel Sano triggered the rally with a single, his fifth career hit against Sale in six at-bats. Trevor Plouffe followed with a ground-rule double before Byung Ho Park was hit by a pitch to load the bases.

Oswaldo Arcia coaxed a walk to score one run, then Jorge Polanco was struck by a pitch for another.

CUBS

Cubs beat Nationals for 6th straight win

By SARAH TROTTO The Associated Press CHICAGO – Addison Russell is enjoying his high-pressure situations at the plate.

Russell dropped in a tiebreaking, two-run double in the seventh inning and the Chicago Cubs beat the Washington Nationals, 8-5, Saturday for their sixth straight victory.

Russell is now 10-for-32 (.313) with 16 RBIs with runners in scoring position this season.

“It’s fun,” Russell said. “Just try to slow the game down, just try to do your best to perform out there and just try to have some fun with it.”

And Russell said he benefited from having the previous day off. The shortstop had the chance to visit with family and chatted with teammates.

“It was nice to gather my thoughts,” said Russell, who is hitting .237.

Kris Bryant homered and Ben Zobrist had an RBI for the sixth game in a row as the Cubs took the matchup of NL division leaders.

Chicago has won 10 of 11 and improved the best record in the majors to 23-6. The Nationals have the league’s second-best record but have lost three straight.

Russell finished with three RBIs. It was 5-all when the Cubs loaded the bases with two outs, and Russell hit a flyball to right that landed barely fair as outfielder Bryce Harper ran toward the brick wall in pursuit. A review confirmed the ball was fair.

“I got as close as I could, put my glove out, it nicked off it and things happened,” Harper said.

“I’m not going to run into a wall and not play for another year and not feel healthy.”

Zobrist singled home a run in the eighth. He has 15 RBIs in his last six games.

Adam Warren (3-0) pitched a scoreless inning for the win. Hector Rondon earned his sixth save in as many chances.

Sammy Solis (0-1) allowed two runs in the seventh.

Ryan Zimmerman beat out a potential inning-ending double play throw to first to drive in the tying run in the seventh for Washington.

Ben Revere scored after he led off with a triple.

A review confirmed Zimmerman was safe.

The Cubs scored three times in the sixth for a 5-4 lead. Pinch hitter Ryan Kalish hit a two-run, bases-loaded single after Russell’s RBI single.

Bryant hit his fifth homer of the season, connecting in the fourth off Gio Gonzalez.

Harper had a sacrifice fly in the third off Jason Hammel.

Hammel allowed a season-high three runs and matched a season high of four walks in five innings.

“It was one of those seesaw games. We really haven’t had many of those this year,” Hammel said. “We’ve been kind of blowing people out, but today it was never quit. Obviously, I wasn’t at my best today. It all gets back to fastball command.”

46 KENTUCKY DERBY

Nyquist stays undefeated with Kentucky Derby victory

By BETH HARRIS The Associated Press

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – The racing world wondered whether there was a worthy successor to last year’s Triple Crown champion American Pharoah.

Enter Nyquist.

The bay colt who lacks any distinctive markings won the Kentucky Derby by 1¼ lengths on Saturday, improving to 8-0 in his career as the fourth consecutive favorite to win the race.

Ridden by Mario Gutierrez, Nyquist ran 1¼ miles in 2:01.31. The 3-year-old colt became the eighth unbeaten winner in the race’s 142-year history, and the first since Big Brown in 2008. He paid $6.60, $4.80 and $3.60 as the 2-1 favorite in the full field of 20 horses.

Nyquist delivered a second Derby win for Gutierrez, trainer Doug O’Neill and owner J. Paul Reddam.

The Southern California-based team was behind 2012 Derby and Preakness winner I’ll Have Another.

Nyquist enjoyed a perfect trip over the Churchill Downs dirt in front of 167,227, the second-largest crowd in Derby history. The colt broke well out

of the 13th post and showed some early speed getting away from the gate.

Gutierrez eased Nyquist back to let speedster Danzing Candy take the lead going into the chaotic first turn.

Nyquist stayed just off the lead and Gutierrez kept him in the clear, steering him to the outside on the final turn. Nyquist and Gun Runner overtook tiring leader Danzing Candy at

Keith and jockey Kent Desormeaux.

Nyquist began Derby day with a visit from the Stanley Cup, which he playfully took a nibble at. Fitting, since he’s named for Detroit Red Wings player Gustav Nyquist. Reddam is a fan of the NHL team and O’Neill was born in Michigan.

JOLIET – Patricia Poch of Shorewood received a surprise phone call that absolutely delighted her.

The voice on the other end said, “I’m coming home for Mother’s Day, Ma.” Like all mothers, Patricia loves hearing from her children – except in this case, the “child” is a grown man and a former foster child of hers.

For about 30 years, Patricia – a retired nurse – and her husband, Jim Poch – a former principal for Joliet Public Schools District 86 – have provided foster care to many children of various ages. Most of that care has been through Guardian Angel Community Services in Joliet.

In December, the Joliet Rotary Club honored the Pochs with its Silver Eagle Award. The annual award honors exemplary volunteers older than 65, according to a club news release.

Furthermore, May is Foster Parent Appreciation Month, said Ines Kutlesa, CEO of Guardian Angel Community Services, who nominated the Pochs for the award – a perfect time to recognize people like the Pochs who open their homes to care for children.

Kutlesa especially praised the Pochs’ commitment to providing a loving environment for children.

“They really have the best interests of children at heart,” Kutlesa said. “They’ve had many children in their home over the years – some with challenging behavior issues – and they were always very dedicated to help them overcome those challenges.”

Jim said at the time he and Patricia considered becoming foster parents, their two children were about 7 and 8.

“We knew there was a need out there and decided to explore it. One thing led to another,” Jim said.

“We had a good life up to that point – not that everything was ‘pie in the sky;’ we had our normal ups and downs. It was just a desire to give back to society.”

Some children stayed a few weeks; others stayed many years. Some came to the Pochs as newborns; some had developmental, behavioral or educational difficulties.

But the Pochs addressed each problem as it arose and stressed that the rewards surpass the difficulties.

For people wondering if fostering is right for them, the Pochs encourage them to give it a try.

“Do not be afraid,” Patricia said. “If you feel you have love in your heart for these kids, give it a try.”

Jim said to be prepared to learn from each child.

The odds are at least one element in his or her background – race, religion, education – will be different from yours.

“You have to be very, very patient,” Jim said.

“You’re not going to see change in a child in a month.

It takes a lot of effort and a lot of give and take.”

Group aids children, seeks foster homes

By DENISE M. BARAN–UNLAND dunland@shawmedia.com Guardian Angel Community Services has about 50 people serving as foster parents, but it always needs more, CEO Ines Kutlesa said.

Erin Cohen, foster care program director, said the program serves children ages 0 to 21, as well as their families, and works in conjunction with the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services.

“Our primary goal is to reunite [the children] with their biological family or family of origin,” Cohen said. “If that is not successful, then we work toward alternate goals or guardianship or independence.”

Carlette Scott, chief operating officer, said anyone interested in

becoming a foster parent must be at least 21 years old, clear a background check and have adequate space in his or her home to accept children.

In addition, prospective foster parents will undergo an assessment. This includes details of their childhood and how they were disciplined, values and morals, and a discussion of changed family dynamics with the addition of foster children, especially if the foster parents already have children.

The age of foster parents is also considered before placing children.

“If you’re an older parent or have health issues, a 2-year-old might not be an appropriate placement,” Scott said, “whereas a 13-, 14- or 15-year-old might be completely appropriate, depend-

ing on the child’s issues.”

The Guardian Angel mission has always included children, Kutlesa said, although services to children have taken different forms through the years.

For instance, when the organization began in 1897 as a ministry of the Sisters of St. Francis of Mary Immaculate, services were delivered through an orphanage. The foster care program began in the 1970s, Kutlesa said, and developed from there.

“There’s no orphanage anymore,” Kutlesa said, “but we continue in the ministry [the Joliet Franciscans] started.”

Scout builds bird blind The HERALD–NEWS LOCKPORT – Nolan O’Neil of Lockport recently built and installed a bird blind at Pilcher Park’s nature center in Joliet.

O’Neil, a member of Boy Scout Troop 49 in New Lenox, performed this service leadership project as part of the requirements to attain Eagle Scout. He chose this project due to his interest in birds – he has numerous bird feeders and bird houses in his yard.

To complete this project, O’Neil worked with Katie Zaban from the nature center and Rita Renwick from the Will County Audubon Society, which meets at Pilcher Park.

After discussing his plans with Zaban and Renwick in early 2015, O’Neil sent for

building plans of a bird blind and then built a prototype of the windows and solicited donations.

The Will County Chapter of the Illinois Audubon Society supplied funds for some of the materials. The design of this blind is patterned after a blind at Bentsen-Rio Grande Valley State Park in Texas. It offers adjustable viewing windows at different heights.

By October, O’Neil began construction in his garage. He held a staining party in March and even found stain that closely matched the existing building. With the help of his troop, other local Boy Scouts from Lockport Township High School and some friends, the bird blind was installed in April.

Eighty-four teams competed at the event, each consisting of two student anglers and a boat captain.

Cook and Zobel, who were led by boat captain Tony Cook, weighed in six bass for a total weight of 16 pounds 2 ounces, just 14 ounces away from first place.

The students were awarded two Lew’s rod and reel combos and various tackle from FLW Outdoors, Jewel Bait Company, Big Bite Baits and Lucas Oil Products.

diseases, such as lupus, multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis, are more common among women. Interestingly, most autoimmune diseases in animals also are more common in the females of the species.

• Sleep apnea is more common among men.

I’m afraid sometimes doctors forget these gender differences. I had a female friend who went to her doctor because of more than a month of unusual breathlessness and fatigue. He didn’t think to test her for heart disease. She had a heart attack a few weeks later.

I’ve learned that lesson more than once myself. I vividly remember a man in his late 70s who called me to say he was concerned about a lump under the skin on his chest. At least 99 times out of 100, such a little lump under the skin is one of two things: a ball of fat called a lipoma, or a plugged-up gland called a sebaceous cyst. So I was sure that’s what it was going to be.

But when I examined his lump, it wasn’t soft and squishy as I had expected. It was rock hard and was sitting in the skin right over his breast. I almost dismissed it and sent him on his way.

However, instead I got a biopsy: The man had breast cancer. It’s rare, but it happens. And I almost missed it. You don’t forget those lessons.

Dear Dr. K: A doctor who specializes in women’s health told my wife that some diseases cause different symptoms in men compared to women. Is that really true?

Dear Reader: Perhaps surprisingly, the answer is yes.

Heart disease is a good example.

Angina and heart attacks occur when too little blood flows to the heart through arteries. When that happens in men, they usually have chest pain or pressure that travels to the left arm, jaw or neck when they exert themselves (or get angry).

In contrast, women are less likely than men to have these symptoms.

Also, they are much more likely to have shortness of breath, abdominal pain and fatigue.

In addition, misleading test results for heart disease are more common for women. An angiogram is considered to be the “gold standard” for checking for blockages in the coronary arteries (the main arteries of the heart). But the test may miss important narrowings in women.

That’s because women with angina are more likely to have narrowing of small coronary arteries that do not show up well with an angiogram. Men more often have narrowings of the large coronary arteries that are seen by the test.

There are other examples of how men and women respond differently to a disease or its treatment. Women usually heal faster from injuries, and they recover better from strokes than men. Women also respond differently to medications: They tend to have more or different side effects from the same dose of medication, perhaps due to body size and hormones.

There also are conditions that are more common in one sex than the other: • Depression and certain autoimmune

Birthday cake blow-out dampens mood for guest Dear Abby: I sometimes am invited to friends’ birthday parties and, while I enjoy the celebration, I have one hangup. When it’s time to blow out the candles, sometimes my friends will blow real hard or even need more than one breath. (We’re not exactly spring chickens.) To me, this is the equivalent of spitting all over the cake, and I can’t bring myself to eat any after this display.

What is a “nice” way of saying, “I don’t want any cake,” without falling back on the old, “I’m trying to lose weight,” especially since other snacks and drinks also are being served? I don’t want to be a ... Party

Pooper

Dear Party Pooper: Your distaste is shared by many people. An effective way to handle the problem would be to mention your “quirk” to your

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips friends long before their birthdays roll around. You also could set an example when your birthday arrives by serving cupcakes instead of a large one to your guests. Many people avoid the problem in this way – and the portions are perfect.

Dear Abby: My handsome, intelligent, physically fit husband looks much younger than his age. But he is vain and won’t get hearing aids. Because he can’t hear, he stands looking at people with a faraway expression on his face that makes him appear like he has dementia. It takes him a while to process the spoken word, and then sometimes

he gets it wrong. He has gotten angry with me because he couldn’t understand something I was saying.

Any tips for me and others on how to deal with this? I’m ready to quit trying to have a conversation with him. He easily could afford to buy hearing aids. – End Of My Rope In

Oklahoma

Dear End: What’s going on is not only not good for your relationship with your husband, but also extremely isolating for him. I do have a suggestion for you: Discuss your concerns with your family physician. Perhaps if the doctor suggests he have his hearing checked by an audiologist, your husband will be less likely to tune the message out. Advances in hearing aids are being made all the time, and some of them fit into the ear canal and are hard to detect.

Dear Abby: I would like to give a wedding gift to a friend’s son who is being married soon. We were not invited to the wedding. Is this OK? – Not Invited

In San Francisco

Dear Not Invited: Not only would it be OK to give the happy couple a gift as a token of your good wishes, but it is generous of you to want to under the circumstances.

Dear Readers: Today I am wishing a very happy Mother’s Day to moms everywhere – birth mothers, adoptive and foster mothers, stepmothers and grandmothers who are raising grandchildren. My heartfelt applause to you all for what you do every day. – Love,

Abby

SUNDAY HOROSCOPE

By EUGENIA LAST Newspaper Enterprise Association TODAY – Emotional matters will interfere with your productivity. Get back to business and focus on situations that you can control. Don’t feel you have to take on the world or be extreme in order to reach your goals. Moderation and balance will lead to victory.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – A retreat or getaway for you and a loved one will do you both good.

Don’t leave anyone in charge of your personal affairs or responsibilities – get things done before you take off.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Keep your lines of communication open and honest. Willingness to

work toward a common goal will help you avoid backlash. If you are patient, you will get your way.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Your thoughts and ideas will intrigue someone. Participate in an event that will allow you to show off your attributes. An offer you receive will be too good to refuse.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Go about your business and tend to your affairs. The less that others know about your whereabouts and concerns, the easier it will be to put your plans in motion.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – An emotional mistake will be taxing. Implement damage control quickly by using your charm and offering incentives to get others to see things your way. Intelligence will win out over brute force.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Don’t procrastinate about

taking an educational course or a special vacation.

It’s up to you to set a budget that will allow you to achieve your dreams. A change in direction will lead to satisfaction.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Don’t let a troublemaker get in your way. Learn from experience and refuse to give in to persuasive tactics. Focus on relationships that offer the highest returns.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Listen and observe. You’ll be badly represented if you fail to speak on your own behalf. Evaluate your current status, and implement the changes required to improve your position.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Get your personal papers in order. You can double your assets if you make good decisions regarding investments and

lifestyle. A romantic attitude will ensure that you get your partner on board with your plans.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Listen to the voice of reason, but don’t give in to someone trying to bully you. Look for a way to make money doing something you enjoy. Financial independence equals freedom.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Don’t let someone’s jealousy ruin your day. Stand tall and do your own thing. The support you do get will confirm who is on your team and who isn’t.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Emotional deception will be a problem today. Don’t get involved in rumors or put yourself in a position that could lead to gossip. Focus on improving your image, skills and knowledge.

Alfred North Whitehead, an English mathematician who was the founder of process philosophy, said, “In formal logic, a contradiction is the signal of defeat; but in the evolution of real knowledge, it marks the first step in progress toward a victory.”

We are looking at deals in which one defender uses the knowledge of high-card points to progress toward victory, the defeat of the contract.

Sometimes, though, a defender has to rely on his partner’s signal to dot the i’s and cross the t’s.

How does that apply in today’s deal? South is in three no-trump.

West leads the spade queen: two, three, king. Declarer plays on clubs.

How should West plan the defense after winning with his ace?

When South responds one notrump, denying a four-card or longer major, North is a tad nervous about raising to three no-trump, but what else can he do? It is so unlikely that five clubs will make and three notrump fail.

The key signal was East’s at trick one. He played the three, his lowest spade denying an honor in the suit. (Yes, South might have won the first trick with his ace, but that advertises the king because if he had only the spade ace, he would have made a holdup play at trick one.) So, West should see that if he continues spades, declarer will take nine tricks: two spades, three heartst and four clubs.

There is only one chance. West must shift to the diamond queen.

Here, that generates five tricks in the suit to take the contract down two.
