Joliet committee advances Union Station ballroom plans, Crabigale’s redevelopment By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The city of Joliet has sent out a request for proposal to gauge interest from hospitality firms to fill the Grand Ballroom at Union Station once the current operator, Bussean Custom Caters, leaves in January. Councilman Larry Hug, who chairs the Economic Development Committee, said seven events were booked past January 2017. Three have been re-booked at Bussean’s Patrick Haley Mansion in Joliet, two chose to get refunds and two are “hanging on,” Hug said, with the hope that a new company will be secured in time. The RFP was sent out to 70 hospitality firms throughout the region, and to 17 commercial bankers for potential distribution to existing customers, according to a May 6 memo distributed this week to the Economic Development Committee. Responses are due May 27, according to the memo. Hug said the city will narrow its options based on company history and experience, noting that council members will want someone in Union Station for the long term. “We’ll weed out those that we feel are a big risk,” Hug said. In other news, the committee voted Thursday to advance a redevelopment plan that allows owners of a downtown Lemont bar and restaurant to take over the old Crabigale’s site. The new occupants, who own The Vault Cafe and Bar in Lemont, plan to put a restaurant and bar in the first floor, a small banquet facility on the second floor, and apartments in both the second and third floors. According to the development proposal, the first floor will have the atmosphere of a

Hug said the apartments may attract college students from the University of St. Francis and Joliet Junior College to the downtown area. The tentative plan also calls for a soft opening 10 months after the Oct. 10, 2016, purchase date. The committee last week recommended approval to the City Council. The plan has been accepted by both parties, but project timeline dates still need to be negotiated, according to a committee memo from Economic Development Director Steve Jones. The city owns the old Loughran Building at Chicago and Cass streets that was last used for the Crabigale’s comedy club. The city in August put out requests for proposals to put the 1890 building back in use. The city has provided an incentive package that would hand over the building, priced at $300,000, to the developer once that much money has been put into building improvements.

Ready for baseball and more Slammers play home opener Tuesday; city eyes new field uses By BOB OKON bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – It’s Slammers season. Joliet’s Minor League Baseball team will come back to town Tuesday for its home opener. Awaiting is Silver Cross Field and a summer in which the Slammers have a chance to show what they can do on and with the field. Much is in store in the coming months. The Slammers look to draw fans to games while also exploring more uses

for city-owned Silver Cross Field. “We’re going to put a great product on the field. We’re going to have a lot of fun at the ballpark,” said Nick Semaca, majority owner of the Slammers. “We just need our fans to come out and support us.” Semaca said fans can look forward to a team with lots of power and offense. “What I’m really excited about is our product on the field,” he said. What happens off the field in Minor League Baseball, however, can be just as important in filling seats. The Slammers on opening night

Promotional nights at Silver Cross Field There are numerous promotions scheduled for this year’s home games for the Slammers. Among them are: • May 24 – Salute to Joliet • June 3 – Princess Night • June 5 – Bark in the Park • June 17 – Salute to Summer • June 19 – Father’s Day • June 24 – Star Wars Night • July 1 – Baseball Movie Night

• July 2 – Independence Day Celebration with fireworks • July 3 – Military Appreciation Day • July 12 – Battle of the Sexes game • July 16 – Cosplay Night • July 29 – Christmas in July • Aug. 13 – Augustoberfest • Aug. 20 – Hopstring Fest • Sept. 2 – Halloween/ Zombie Night • Sept. 3 – Presidential Race Spoof Night

plan to announce an appearance at the ballpark later in the season by a former Chicago Cubs Hall of Famer, who will be named that night – someone Semaca said is likely to attract fans. Slammers fans will get some new features at the old ballpark, including

a bar in the concourse behind home plate. The Slammers will hold Double Feature Sundays, when movies will be shown after games on the video board the city purchased last year.

Nonprofits: Stopgap bill ‘not the endgame’

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Elected officials and nonprofit leaders in Will and Grundy counties had mixed reactions to the recent passage of legislation that provides partial emergency cash in lieu of a balanced state budget. “We needed to fund social services that haven’t been paid since July,” said state Rep. Mark Batinick, R-Plainfield. “But I can’t say this is a perfect bill. … It’s another patchwork.” The passage of Senate Bill 2038 was nearly unanimous in both the Illinois House and Senate – a rare occurrence in Springfield these days – but Batinick and others, including Gov. Bruce Rauner’s administration, have serious misgivings. Under the bill, more than $714 million would be released to mental health programs, drug addiction treatment and home-delivered meals for seniors. The bill also appears to fund – in part – Adult Redeploy Illinois and Grundy County’s mental health court, two prison diversion programs. But Batinick said SB 2038 does not fund critical Department of Corrections facilities, including Stateville in Crest Hill, and its language may unintentionally bar the use of funds for operational expenditures. Some programs, which are at their core operational, may not be able to be funded. For example, the Senior Help Line is a call center, Batinick said, but language bars the Department of Aging from paying for charges and equipment to support the call center. Rauner has yet to sign the bill, and spokeswoman Catherine Kelly declined to say what he plans. Grundy County Board Chairman David Welter said that while he isn’t against the emergency cash influx, he’d “rather have a fully funded, balanced state budget.” “I think at this point, seeing that there’s some movement, it’s better than no movement. Still, a lot needs to be done,” Welter said. “I’m hoping this is the start of [bipartisanship].” Welter said the County Board has agreed to fund Grundy County’s Mental Health Court program while they wait on grant dollars from the state. Ben Stortz, CEO for Cornerstone Services, said the bill is not detailed enough to know how dollars will be divvied out to local agencies. But it appears the nonprofit – which is owed about $1 million from the state – would be partially funded for its mental health, residential, and outpatient and therapy services if the bill is signed into law.

Under legislation approved by the Illinois Senate and House, Cornerstone Services and other nonprofits would receive partial emergency funding for mental health programs, drug addiction treatment and home-delivered meals for seniors. The bill requires Gov. Bruce Rauner’s signature. “It’s nice to get money out the door, but it’s not the endgame,” Stortz said. The Joliet-based organization serves Will and Grundy counties with residential supportive housing and relies on state grant dollars to provide group homes and other services to people with developmental disabilities. Although Medicaid reimbursements are flowing in because of court orders, Cornerstone is also eyeing a $700,000 grant that the state promised but never issued a contract for. The agency’s situation is dire, Stortz said, adding that last week, the nonprofit had to use its line of credit to make payroll. Even as the state withholds grant dollars, Cornerstone and other nonprofits are still required to submit quarterly financial reports, including number of clients served and other service statistics. “It’s business as usual to them, but with no funding,” Stortz said. The bill’s emergency cash will come from the Committee to Human Services Fund and other special funds, and is already on hand. Pete McLenighan, executive director at Stepping Stones in Joliet, said last week the stopgap bill is “better

“I think at this point, seeing that there’s some movement, it’s better than no movement. Still, a lot needs to be done. I’m hoping this is the start of [bipartisanship].” David Welter Grundy County Board chairman

lawmakers last week gave legislative leaders and the governor’s staff recommendations for a balanced budget. The group is suggesting raising the income tax from 3.75 percent to 4.85 percent and a sales tax expansion to raise $5.4 billion. That’s coupled with $2.4 billion in cuts, including $400 million from Medicaid and $440 million the state won’t pay back to funds it borrowed from. The group also is suggesting the state borrow $5 billion to be paid back over five years to help with a backlog of bills, and addressing large salary bumps in the final years of state workers’ careers that contribute to bigger pension benefits. State Sen. Sue Rezin, R-Morris, declined to comment on the budget framework, saying she has not been presented with an official proposal. If there are revenue increases, she said, Republicans want much of those dollars to go toward the state’s growing backlog. Otherwise, state spending will continue to rise at unsustainable levels. “That’s been the temptation across the aisle,” Rezin said.

than nothing,” but funds at critically low levels. The addiction treatment center earlier this year began limiting services to private pay insurance and Medicaid due to the budget impasse. “We started the year with significantly reduced funding with our [fiscal 2016 contracts],” McLenighan said. “We’re still operating on a rather severe reduction in funding. This stopgap bill doesn’t really address the need that’s there.” • The Associated Press contributed to Even as the stopgap bill pushed through, a bipartisan working group of this report.

3 French Hens in Morris draws crowds despite cold By KRIS STADALSKY Shaw Media Correspondent MORRIS – The unseasonably cold weather Saturday didn’t keep people away from 3 French Hens Country Market along the I&M Canal in Morris. They came in droves to hunt down treasures – everything from herb-infused oils to vintage clothing to hand-painted wall hangings and repurposed furniture could be found. Many shoppers and sellers were bundled up with jackets and scarves, some even wearing boots and hats. If they forgot to bring along gloves, those could be found at the market. Julie Leiter, who works for Whimsy and 3 French Hens, said her team ran back to the shop before the market even opened and pulled gloves and hats out of basement storage to add to their goods. “We have been selling them like hotcakes,” Leiter said. Marggie Paris and Hattie Smith came in from Indiana; this is the second year of their coming for the monthly markets. “I like to come and see what’s here to pick up gifts,” Paris said. “They always have really nice plants and the corn dogs from Pam’s [Famous Corn Dogs] alone are worth the trip.” Smith, who owns an interior design shop and a vintage market in Michigan, came to find special items to resell or use for her design clients. By 11 a.m., she and Paris already had things crammed into their wagon. “We’re just getting started,” Smith laughed. “I am finding great things; I love it.” Dave Smith and his wife, Jayne Smith, who own Dave and Jayne’s Furniture Fix in Wilmington, brought many pieces made from combined repurposed items. One bench was fashioned from a twin headboard, an old coffee table and drawers from a treadle pedal sewing machine. They’ve been selling their wares at

Wounded veteran moves into specially adapted home By SARWAT S. AHMAD Shaw Media Correspondent MANHATTAN – For wounded Air Force Capt. Anthony Simone, a new home adapted to his needs is not only “key to his recovery,” but also means the freedom to serve again – this time to serve his family. “I will fall into the role of the ‘man of the house,’ which will include cooking, cleaning, laundry and lawn care,’’ Simone told the cheering crowd of about 175 that came out on Saturday’s chilly morning to see him receive the keys to his new Manhattan home. Simone was the co-pilot of a combat search-and-rescue helicopter in Helmand Province in Afghanistan that was shot down in 2010. He was one of two survivors but suffered a traumatic brain injury and has limited use of the left side of his body. He was chosen by the national nonprofit Homes For Our Troops to receive a new mortgage-free home with numerous adaptations, including widened doorways and hallways, lowered countertops, roll-under cooktops and sinks, a roll-in shower and a safe room to use in the event of a tornado or other emergency. The home was funded by donations and fundraising by various corporations, local businesses and community orga-

nizations, including Wounded Warriors Family Support, Dunkin’ Donuts, American Legion Post 18, American Legion Auxiliary Unit 1994 and Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Biros Real Estate. “I felt bad for myself for almost six years – now, today, that is over,” Simone said. “I am truly blessed.” Simone reminded the crowd that the gift is bittersweet because he lost five service members that day. He asked for a moment of silence to remember them. “We can’t forget the five that fell,” he said. For his wife, Andrea, who grew up in Joliet, the home is a return to a normalcy that was unthinkable when her husband was in a six-week coma from his injuries and in the difficult years of recovery afterward. “[With this house] there will be no limits on him as a husband, a dad and as an American,” she said. Homes For Our Troops President and CEO Tim McHale told the crowd that Simone’s new home should not be seen as charity but as repayment of a debt. “He did not lose his freedom and independence [the day of his injury], he gave his freedom and independence to his country,” McHale said. “Now we give it back.” Manhattan Mayor James Doyle, New

Lenox Mayor Tim Baldermann and Joliet City Councilwoman Bettye Gavin were also among the attendees at the key ceremony. Doyle welcomed the Simone family to Manhattan, adding, “We are honored

that you chose our community to make your home.” The Simone house is the 211th to be given to a veteran through Homes For Our Troops since it started its work in 2004, McHale said.

JOLIET – The Internal Revenue Service is again warning Americans of phone-based scammers who solicit and, in some cases, threaten taxpayers for their money. Phone scam artists are known to use scare tactics with threats of police arrest, deportation, license revocation and more, to seemingly force taxpayers into sending them money. These scams often increase in frequency in the months surrounding tax day. The Will County Sheriff’s Office advises residents who believe they have been scammed in such a manner to always file a police report. Detectives will begin an investigation and if any leads are found, the case will be turned over to the IRS. People should not talk to suspicious callers or provide them with any information if by chance they answer one of the calls. Will County Sheriff’s Office spokeswoman Kathy Hoffmeyer said

Continued from page 9 The scammers’ level of expertise has grown so much that they know your name, address, and possibly your place of employment and Social Security number. “People tend to believe the scammers, but you have to hang up the phone and not provide any information or return voice messages,” Hoffmeyer said. Anyone who does owe money to the IRS will be notified through the mail. Even then, it’s wise to call the IRS yourself and confirm you actually owe money before making a transaction, Hoffmeyer said. Scammers also prey on the elderly. The sheriff’s office asks that people stress to their elderly relatives the importance of looking out for scamming tactics. Hoffmeyer said the elderly often trust easily and may become embarrassed to report they have been scammed. Scam victims are advised to fill out the IRS’ scam impersonation report at

Hoffmeyer said the IRS will pursue an incident when a police report is filed. Restitution efforts are handled by the IRS. According to an IRS news release, the IRS will never call to demand immediate payment, demand that you pay taxes without giving you the opportunity to question or appeal the amount they say you owe, or require you to use a specific payment method for your taxes, such as a prepaid debit card. It will also not ask for credit or debit card numbers over the phone or threaten to bring in local police or other law enforcement groups to have you arrested for not paying.

IDOC reaches settlement with Joliet mental health facility renovations ongoing By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A U.S. District Court judge on Friday approved a settlement agreement between the Illinois Department of Corrections and attorneys in the case of Ashoor Rasho v. John Baldwin. U.S. District Judge Michael Mihm accepted the agreement Friday, noting that the state agency’s plans for improving services for mentally ill offenders are “fair and reasonable,” according to an IDOC news release. As part of IDOC’s plans, the Illinois Youth Center in Joliet is being renovated and converted into a treatment facility for mentally ill inmates. IDOC announced in December that it had reached a preliminary settlement with lawyers representing 11,000 mentally ill inmates in a 2007 class-action lawsuit alleging the state provided inadequate treatment. The agreement reached Friday

Pat Stanfel 815-325-2218

requires IDOC to update its policies for treatment and observation and increase out-of-cell time for mentally ill offenders housed in segregation. It also requires IDOC to construct four residential treatment units, provide inpatient level care and hire additional staff. The department has partnered with the National Alliance on Mental Illness in Illinois to develop curriculum and ensure all IDOC staff receive training on how to better interact with, communicate with and understand the needs of those who require mental health treatment, according to the news release. The class-action lawsuit has lingered in the courts since 2007 after an offender at Pontiac Correctional Center filed suit challenging the delivery of mental health services within IDOC. A nine-month deadline to start operations at the Joliet facility would be in place once a state budget is signed into law, according to IDOC.

Special meeting in the works on Will County Health Department cuts By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Will County Executive Larry Walsh Sr. is expected to call a special County Board meeting this week to address pending Health Department cuts, saying in a news release he was “very disappointed” by the board Executive Committee’s move to vote down a loan request last week for the department. “It is no surprise to myself, the County Board, or our residents that we are in a very unfortunate situation here in Illinois,” Walsh said in a news release. “However, if we just stand by and watch as our health services for our most vulnerable residents crumble and do nothing. … Well, shame on anyone who chooses that option.” The 10-member Executive Committee voted to reject the $426,783 request, but agreed to advance it to the full 26-member board for a vote. At the end of the same meeting, however, they

voted 6-4 to reverse the decision after Health Department staff and union leaders left. A special meeting would allow the full board a chance to vote on a lastditch attempt to avoid dozens of layoffs and the suspension of services, including adult behavioral health, crisis response and juvenile justice. Will County Health Department union employees asked Walsh Sr. to call the meeting, Dave Delrose, president for American Federation of State, County & Municipal Employees Local 1028, said Friday. “We’ve talked to [Will County Executive Larry Walsh Sr.] about doing that and he seems to be open to doing that,” Delrose said. “It would give the opportunity for the entire board to discuss and debate the issue of important cuts.” Board members in the past week have accused each other of “playing

Larry Walsh Sr. Will County executive “I think a situation of this size should be [vetted by the full board.] Otherwise, six votes could literally eliminate services for 50,000 clients,” Howard said. Jim Harvey, counsel for the county executive’s office, said Friday that special meetings are rare, but have happened. Under Illinois statute, Walsh Sr. would have to sign an executive order and copies of it would need to be delivered to each of the 26 board members’ residences at least 24 hours before the meeting, Harvey said. An agenda would have to be posted 48 hours in advance of the meeting.

politics” and using the department’s crisis as political fodder in a competitive election season. Republican Caucus Chairman Chuck Maher on Friday criticized Walsh’s latest move as a way to shore up union support in the upcoming November election. “Larry Walsh is about jobs and the jobs he’s put people into,” Maher said. “He’s trying to make nice with the union. Does he think it’s going to help him?” Walsh and local union employees butted heads in 2013 during intense contract negotiations and a county employee strike over health insurance premiums and pay raises. “These guys don’t want to work with us. They should be as mad at Springfield as we are. I don’t know why we’re not focused on the state,” Maher said. “I don’t want to make promises to people who we can’t keep and sustain,” he added. Bob Howard, D-Beecher, a County Board member for District 1, argued the county would only be lending the Health Department funds until Illinois passes a budget. A special meeting would give all 26 board members a say, he said.

“It is no surprise to myself, the County Board, or our residents that we are in a very unfortunate situation here in Illinois. However, if we just stand by and watch as our health services for our most vulnerable residents crumble and do nothing. … Well, shame on anyone who chooses that option.”

MORRIS – Tasha Bunting has spent the past 12 years championing Grundy County farmers in her role as Grundy County Farm Bureau manager, a role she is leaving in June. Bunting will be joining the Illinois Farm Bureau in Bloomington as the assistant director of commodities and livestock programs. “I will be working with livestock farmers and with commodities analysis,” Bunting said Friday. As a Livingston County farmer, Bunting said she still will be active in the local agriculture community. “We are sad to see Tasha go,” Steve Kodat, board president of the Grundy County Farm Bureau, said Friday. Victoria Wax has been named the new Grundy County Farm Bureau manager, effective July 1. Wax is from Douglas County and is a 2013 graduate of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, where she

received a degree from the Crop Sciences department, according to a news release from the Farm Bureau. “I’m excited to be in an area that has such a connection to agriculture,” Wax said in a news release. “I’m thrilled to be working with members and leaders in this county, and I look forward to raising awareness and connecting consumers Victoria Wax to agriculture.” Wax will be responsible for all office management, as well as programs and activities conducted by the Grundy County Farm Bureau, including the Grundy County Farm Bureau Foundation, Ag in the Classroom, and Young Leader Committee. Kodat said the bureau is excited to have Wax begin and looking forward to seeing where she takes the programs. “They always have one or two managers in training with the farm bureau so we decided to go that route when replacing Tasha,” Kodat said. He said this allowed Wax to start Friday and work side by side with Bunting until she leaves for her new job.

JOLIET – A group of Edna Keith fifth-graders met Friday with the principal of a school they will attend next year. That school – Washington Junior High School and Academy – was a place where they will grow mentally, emotionally and spiritually, said Michael Latting, the school’s principal, who sat across from the students inside the gym. “You come to me as fifth-graders,” Latting said through a microphone inside the school gym. “You will leave me as gentlemen and young women.” Edna Keith students and hundreds of others from Woodland, Culbertson and Eisenhower schools – that feed into the junior high school – visited Washington as part of the annual Step Up Day. Students get an inside look at Washington as part of the event that allows them to get to know the faculty, the facility and the students as they learn what will be expected of them. Washington eighth-graders served as tour guides. They brought groups of students into classrooms,

Some of them told them about how to use their identification cards, not to procrastinate with homework, to watch their grades if they plan on participating in sports and not to be too worried at school. “We don’t want you to be scared. We you want to do your job,” Lingle said. In his talk with the students before the tour, Latting said Washington students don’t typically carry bookbags in the hallway for safety reasons, but this year he will allow them to use clear plastic bookbags. “Your safety is my ultimate, No. 1 concern. Nobody is going to bring anything into the building that I don’t know about,” Latting said. He also told them he will not allow one child to steal education from other children. He explained that if they disrupt in classrooms or do something inappropriate that will stop a teacher from teaching, they were stealing education from the rest of the students. It will be up to the students to obey the rules the right way, he said. “Is this clear with everyone?” he asked. The students either nodded or said yes.

Fireworks will continue on Friday nights, but the Slammers are adding Knockerball contests before the games.

City officials have expressed interest in field turf. But paying for it will be an issue, said Deputy City Manager Steve Jones, who is also the city’s economic development director. “We’re starting to intensely talk about how we can do this,” Jones said. “It’s a great idea. It’s just a question of when we can do it and how we can fund it.” With field turf, Jones said, Silver Cross Field “becomes more of a three-season stadium than a one-season stadium.”

Sports tourism

This is the 15th year of Minor League Baseball at Silver Cross Field. The Slammers as an organization are focusing on more than Minor League Baseball, as the team and the city both are looking for ways to put the stadium to more use. A January report from the city on revenue from its baseball stadium showed the big money seasons came in the early years that preceded the recession and the demise of the JackHammers, the first team to occupy Silver Cross Field. The current Slammers owners are entering their fourth season. Semaca and city officials have talked about replacing natural grass with field turf to put the stadium to more use more often for sports and other activities. Sports tourism is a concept Semaca began pushing in the off season, and the Slammers will test the idea July 22 to 24 with the “15u Showcase,” a traveling team tournament that will bring in youth baseball teams from Kentucky and Indiana, as well as the Chicago region.

Slammers and the city hope to keep The idea is to use Silver Cross Field to bring visitors to Joliet. Local hotels, restaurants and other businesses all hopefully will benefit from the people who come to Silver Cross Field for an event that stretches a few days, said Slammers General Manager Heather Mills. “It’s really about bringing people to Joliet,” Mills said. “They’ll be here for baseball. But the hope is when they have down time, they’ll be out spend-

ing money.”

Field turf

The challenge for the Slammers is to stage more events without ruining the field for baseball. Concerts become a real risk for natural grass, Mills said. “I have seen outfields destroyed by concerts,” she said. “I have seen outfields sink because it rained. The stage is set up, and it sinks. Then, there’s a dip in the outfield.”

the Illinois High School Association’s Class 3A/4A baseball tournament at Silver Cross Field. The tournament is one of those events that brings out-oftowners to Joliet. But the IHSA is considering other venues and will announce after this year’s tournament in June whether it will stay in Joliet. “Putting people in that stadium, especially people who aren’t from Joliet, really does create some economic vitality,” Jones said.

22 Police: Manhattan man held child

in townhouse with loaded weapon By ANNA SCHIER aschier@shawmedia.com

MANHATTAN – An intoxicated Manhattan man held a small child Wednesday in his home with a loaded gun, Manhattan Police Department Chief Joseph Wazny said. Police officers responded at 6:15 p.m. to a townhouse in the 400 block of Fairview Drive in Manhattan for the reported domestic disturbance. When they arrived, the officers found a woman trying to leave the home with three Jason children, one of whom Kozlowski Jason Kozlowski was holding in the upper level of the residence with a loaded weapon, Wazny said. Manhattan police persuaded Kozlowski, 39, to release the child, Wazny said, but Kozlowski then barricaded himself in the townhouse, refusing arrest and locking the door while holding a gun. “He was definitely impaired,” Wazny said.

Law enforcement with the Will County Sheriff’s Office called Kozlowski on a cellphone and negotiated with him, Wazny said, persuading him to leave the home unarmed and be taken into custody. Kozlowski was transported to Will County Jail and charged with aggravated battery via use of a deadly weapon, resisting police, aggravated assault to police and two counts of aggravated assault to public property, according to jail records. His bond was set at $75,000. The incident lasted about an hour, Wazny said. Inner and outer perimeters were established by assisting agencies. No one was injured. Police found long guns and a pistol inside the townhouse. Assisting law enforcement included agencies affiliated with Will County, Mokena, Frankfort, New Lenox, Rockdale, Elwood and Wilmington. The Manhattan Emergency Management Agency and special operations with the Will County Sheriff’s Office also responded. The Forest Preserve District of Will County provided canine aid.

It stops short of telling them exactly what to do, instead advising them to work with their attorneys to determine the best course amid a “shifting legal landscape.” Francisco Negron, chief attorney for the organization, said there is a “disconnect” between what is happening in various states and what the federal government is demanding, “and school districts are caught in the middle.”

JOLIET – President Barack Obama’s administration told public schools nationwide Friday to let transgender students use bathroom and locker rooms that match their gender identity. The guidance was issued days after the U.S. Justice Department and North Carolina sued each other over a state law requiring transgender people to use the public bathroom that corresponds to the sex on their birth certificates. Joliet Public Schools District 86 officials said their policies already comply with the Obama administration’s directive. “A lot of this stuff you have to deal with on a case-by-case basis depending on what the student needs. … There’s different accommodations you can do that is in compliance with the policy,” said Nicholas Sakellariou, District 86 chief legal services and labor relations officer. Tom Hernandez, Plainfield School District 202 spokesman, stated in an email the district “just got the guidance” early Friday and will need to consult with attorneys and the school board “for clarity and direction,” as well as review policies and procedures

“A lot of this stuff you have to deal with on a case-by-case basis depending on what the student needs. … There’s different accommodations you can do that is in compliance with the policy.”

CHICAGO – Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel is abolishing the agency that currently investigates police misconduct and replacing it with a civilian department he said will have more independence and resources to do its work.

ILLINOIS ROUNDUP News from across the state

Central Illinois vets recommending dog flu vaccine

PEORIA – Veterinarians in Central Illinois are recommending dog owners consider getting their pets vaccinated against the flu. The Journal Star in Peoria reported multiple cases of a new type of dog influenza have been reported in Bloomington. It already has prompted organizers of the Pooch Parade and Pet Fair in Normal to cancel the May 21 event. Dr. Chris Couri, who is president of the Peoria County Veterinary Medical Association, said that even though dog flu isn’t a problem in Peoria yet, he encourages dog owners to talk to their vets about the vaccine. Couri said the dog flu is “highly contagious.” Dogs can get it from going nose-tonose with another dog or just spending time in an area where

an infected dog has been. The flu also can be transmitted through human contact.

Sex charge against ex-prep official, Teacher of Year

CONCORD, N.H. – A former admissions officer at an elite prep school who went on to become a Teacher of the Year at another school has turned himself in to face allegations he sexually assaulted a teenage boy decades ago. Arthur Peekel is at least the third staff member this year to be accused of sexual misconduct at Phillips Exeter Academy, a coed school for students in grades 9 to 12. He’s accused of assaulting Lawrence Jenkens when Jenkens visited the school in Exeter as a youngster in 1973. Peekel left the school soon afterward and went on to teach in Illinois, where he was named Teacher of the Year in 1992. He retired from Rolling Meadows High School in 2004. School officials said they were unaware of the Exeter allegations when they hired him in 1986 and no allegations have been made against him during his tenure there.

gations of officer-involved shootings and the most serious allegations of police misconduct,” Emanuel wrote Friday in an essay published by the Chicago Sun-Times announcing the change. He said details about the new agency’s makeup and duties will be worked out in the coming weeks and presented at a City Council meeting on June 22. Emanuel also said he would appoint a public safety inspector general to “audit and monitor policing in Chicago,” and a Community Safety Oversight Board to oversee the city’s entire “policy accountability system.” “We know that in order for police accountability to be truly effective, it has to have the support and trust of the community,” recently appointed IPRA Chief Administrator Sharon Fairley, a former federal prosecutor, said in a statement. “I believe this commitment will start the process of building a system that will engender that trust.”

Peekel, 74, was arrested and charged Friday with two counts of sexual assault. He was free on $25,000 bail but didn’t immediately respond to messages seeking comment. His arraignment is set for July 5. The statute of limitations wasn’t applicable in this case because he had moved out of state.

Illinois residents being honored for emergency response

SPRINGFIELD – Quick action by Waukegan firefighter Marcus Jackson saved the life of an accident victim with a punctured lung. Jackson is among the winners of the Illinois Department of Public Health EMS Hero Awards. The awards go to volunteers, paramedics and others who respond to emergencies. The week of May 15-20 is Emergency Medical Services Week. Jackson performed a needle decompression, inserting a needle into the driver’s chest to re-inflate the lung, at the scene of a car accident in October. Other EMS Hero winners include Brian Churchill, Lisa Churchill and Bob Gotterman,

Lori Lightfoot, who chaired the task force and heads the Chicago Police Board, said the mayor’s proposal may be an important step. “The devil will be in the details,” she told the Chicago Tribune. “How it will be different (from IPRA) is a fundamentally important question.” Emanuel, a Democrat, announced the creation of his Task Force on Police Accountability when he fired police Superintendent Garry McCarthy in the wake of public protests over the 2014 shooting by a white police officer of 17-year-old Laquan McDonald, who was black. A video of the shooting, released last year, contradicted police accounts that McDonald was threatening officers before he was shot. The changes come amid a U.S. Department of Justice investigation to determine whether Chicago police have systematically violated residents’ rights.

who together revived a man with heart problems at the Springfield airport last year. Also honored is Barrington teenager Brendan Gould, who called 911 when his father collapsed at home. He performed CPR following a dispatcher’s instructions, saving his father’s life.

Something to sing about: Karaoke coming to fairs

SPRINGFIELD – Calling all karaoke kings: The Illinois and Du Quoin state fairs are looking for undiscovered talent. To find it, they’re turning to karaoke sing-offs this summer. Eight county fairs will host qualifying rounds. The first- and second-place winners will advance to a finale at the Illinois State Fair on Aug. 20. The overall winner will get a chance to perform two songs the same night before the Little Big Town concert. The winner will also get to perform at the Du Quoin State Fair. State Fair Manager Kevin Gordon said the idea is to draw a new audience to county fairs, which he called vital to rural economies.

Participants must be 18 or older to compete. Complete contest rules can be found online.

1886 Winchester rifle sells for record $1.2M at auction

ROCK ISLAND – An 1886 Winchester rifle that once belonged to a man who helped capture Apache leader Geronimo has sold for $1.2 million at an auction. The Rock Island Auction Co. of Illinois said it became the most expensive single firearm ever sold at auction when it was presented for sale in late April. It went to an undisclosed buyer. George Albee was working for Winchester and was able to secure serial No. 1 of their newest rifle design in 1886. He presented the rifle as a gift to an old Civil War buddy, U.S. Army Capt. Henry Ware Lawton, who had just led the operation that captured Geronimo. The auction company said other guns have sold higher as a pair, but the Winchester brought in the highest price ever for a single firearm.

Public schools cashing in with naming rights By TOM COYNE The Associated Press SOUTH BEND, Ind. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; In the last two years, a northern Indiana high school sold the naming rights to its football field to a bank for $400,000, its baseball field to an auto dealership, its softball field to a law firm, its tennis court to a philanthropic couple and its concession stands to a tire and auto care company and a restaurant. Even music rooms in the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 11 elementary schools were named for a couple who donated more than $50,000 over 10 years. All told, the nonprofit Penn-Harris-Madison Education Foundation has signed agreements that will bring the district more than $600,000 in the coming years â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and school officials are looking for more. An idea that started with professional sports teams and worked its way through colleges and universities has taken root in public schools around the U.S. as funding for districts tightens for various reasons, including political fights, tax cuts and property tax caps. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I see this as kind of a logical progression,â&#x20AC;? said Josh Boyd, an associate professor at Purdue Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Brian Lamb School of Communication who has researched naming rights. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not surprising weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re seeing the next level down in athletics doing the same thing. But I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still in the early stages.â&#x20AC;? The goal of the Penn-Harris-Madison School Corporation in Mishawaka, Indiana, about 10 miles from South Bend, is to build a $4 million endowment similar to those at universities, ensuring a steady, dependable stream of income for additional teacher training and programs for students, Superintendent Jerry Thacker said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We think that money will separate us from doing good things to doing great things,â&#x20AC;? he said. But Jeff Bertoni, the president of Market Street Sports Group, which started 10 years ago to help Pennsylvania schools find sponsorship money, said most districts are aiming lower

than that. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A typical district may bring in a couple hundred thousand dollars extra a year. But for these districts, that extra couple hundred thousand dollars a year saves programs,â&#x20AC;? said Bertoni, whose company works with 10 school districts. Often, naming rights and sports go hand-in-hand. Westfield Washington Schools, a district about 25 miles north of Indianapolis, agreed in 2014 to a 10-year, $1.2 million naming rights deal with a health care provider to help build a 5,000-seat high school football stadium. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We wanted to build a new stadium and we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to go to taxpayers,â&#x20AC;? said Nick Verhoff, the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s director of business and operations. In Riverside, a western suburb of Chicago, school Superintendent Kevin Skinkis read a story about schools in Texas selling naming rights and decided to see whether that would work for an $8 million renovation of Brookfield High Schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s outdoor athletic complex. â&#x20AC;&#x153;School funding in Illinois, every dollar counts, and if we could find a way to lessen the burden on the taxpayer, we thought that would be a fiscally responsible way to proceed,â&#x20AC;? he said. The school district placed ads and contacted businesses. Jerry Kennelly bought the rights in a 20-year, $140,000 deal and named the complex after his great-uncle Martin Kennelly, who served as mayor of Chicago from 1947 to 1955. Another suburban Chicago school district voted in March to postpone the introduction of a policy that would have exchanged naming rights at high schools in Highland Park and Deerfield to those â&#x20AC;&#x153;who have contributed a substantial sum.â&#x20AC;? Board member Debbie Hymen said she opposes selling naming rights on principle. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I do believe that if people in their hearts believe in donating to education, they will do that,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If the only reason they are donating to education is to put their name on something, that goes against what our philosophy is.â&#x20AC;?

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS 8 dead, about 40 hurt, in South Texas bus crash

LAREDO, Texas – A charter bus headed to a casino crashed in far South Texas on Saturday, killing eight people and injuring about 40 in a one-vehicle rollover, officials said. Webb County spokesman Larry Sanchez said seven people died at the scene on Highway 83 north of Laredo, the Laredo Morning Times reported. An eighth person died later at a hospital. Webb County Volunteer Fire Department Chief Ricardo Rangel said the bus, identified as belonging to OGA Charters, originated in the Rio Grande Valley and was headed to a casino in Eagle Pass, about 125 miles northwest of Laredo. Fire officials described the crash as a rollover involving just one vehicle. Firefighters received the call late Saturday morning.

Peace deal expected with armed Afghan group

KABUL, Afghanistan – Afghanistan is expected to finalize a peace deal with a notorious militant group in the coming days, in what could be a template for ending the 15-year war with the Taliban, a government official and a representative of the militant group said Saturday. The deal is partly symbolic as the group in question, Hezb-i-Islami, has been largely inactive

AP file photo

for years, but it marks a breakthrough for President Ashraf Ghani, who has made little progress in reviving peace talks with the far more powerful Taliban. Under the 25-point agreement, a draft of which was seen by The Associated Press, Hezb-i-Islami would end its war against the government, commit to respecting the Afghan constitution and cease all contact with other insurgents. In return its members would receive amnesty and its prisoners would be released.

Protesters block train tracks to 2 refineries

SEATTLE – Hundreds of climate activists marched Saturday to the site of two refineries in northwest Washington state to call for a break from fossil fuels, while a smaller group continued to block railroad tracks leading to the facilities for a second day. Protesters in kayaks, canoes, on bikes and on foot took part in a massive demonstration near Anacortes, about 70 miles north of Seattle, to demand action on climate and an equitable transition away from fossil fuels such as oil and coal. A day before, about 150 activists had pitched tents and set up camp on nearby railroad tracks to block the flow of oil to the nearby Shell and Tesoro oil refineries.

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton speaks Wednesday during a campaign rally in Blackwood, N.J.

Big rallies or quiet voters? Is Clinton low on enthusiasm? By CATHERINE LUCEY The Associated Press DES MOINES, Iowa – Rock concert rallies versus intimate town halls. Adoring groupies versus dutiful voters. Sweeping promises versus targeted proposals. Whether Hillary Clinton is competing against Democratic rival Bernie Sanders or presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump, one concern is much the same. They are outsider candidates riding a wave of populist excitement, while she is viewed as a traditional, establishment choice. As a result, her campaign sometimes just looks a little less exciting. Clinton has won far more votes than any other 2016 candidate. But if she moves into a general election matchup with Trump, she may continue to be dogged by questions about voter enthusiasm, especially as Trump pledges to continue his raucous rallies. Clinton’s supporters say they are not worried. “Big crowds mean nothing,” former Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell said. “You don’t get extra points for an enthusiastic vote versus a moderately enthusiastic vote.” Still, the differences are clear. In recent days, Sanders rallied with roughly 4,000 in Salem, Oregon, and Trump drew thousands in Bellingham, Washington. Clinton held a rally with over 1,000 people in New Jersey, but also spoke about family issues at a gathering with about 15 in northern Virginia. Trump’s large crowds were good for more

than his ego. They helped him power past his numerous rivals and to the verge of clinching the nomination as Clinton continues mopping up against her last remaining challenger. “I think the rallies for Trump are the demonstration of his appeal as I think the rallies for Sanders are the demonstration of his appeal,” said GOP pollster Greg Strimple. He added that Sanders’ crowds have exposed some of Clinton’s weaknesses and he would not have generated that energy “if the Democrats were so enamored of her candidacy.” Republican strategist Sara Fagen, who has not backed Trump, says Clinton “doesn’t have a movement. She has a base of people that will show up, but they’re not overly energized.” Still, Fagen said a general election may be more challenging for Trump, noting that his success so far has been in a crowded primary. “There’s no doubt Trump is energizing an element of the electorate,” she said. “But some people are showing up not to support him as well. He’s divisive.” Crowd counts are just one measure of excitement. Polling suggests that the competitive Democratic race has energized voters, and exit polls find enthusiasm for Clinton as well as Sanders. About 2 in 5 primary voters were enthusiastic about their party’s front-runner in a recent CNN poll. Both Clinton and Trump have negative favorability ratings among general election voters. But Trump’s negatives with people of all backgrounds are at historic highs, suggesting he may have difficulty connecting with a broad cross-section of voters in November.

L A E D B!G

Dear Mr. Berko: My broker has recommended that I invest $20,000 and buy 500 shares of GlaxoSmithKline, a world-class drug company. The dividend is $2.48 and that yields a very attractive 5.9 percent. He thinks Glaxo’s problems are over and that the stock can double in price to $80 in the coming three to five years. Please give me your thoughts on this stock. I’ve been reading your column for over 30 years. You are one of the few people I trust to give me a straight answer because you don’t have a horse in this race. – KS: Oklahoma City, Oklahoma Dear KS: GlaxoSmithKline (GSK$42) has fallen from investors’ radar screens during the last few years – a consequence of several high-profile clinical failures that nearly destroyed its oncology pipeline. Its flagship asthma medication, Advair, has lost significant market share and its newer respiratory medications, like highly touted Breo Ellipta, have been painfully slow to launch. And GSK got caught in a 2014 bribery scandal in which a subsidiary in China was found guilty of persuading hospitals and doctors to prescribe and administer the company’s pharmaceuticals over those of its competitors.

TAKING STOCK Malcolm Berko That scandal cost Glaxo nearly $500 million. Management is still bowing and scraping to improve its image and is still dealing with the aftermath that also includes bribery and improper payments in Poland, Lebanon, Romania and Jordan. Bribery is fine and acceptable in those countries (in the U.S., too) as long as one doesn’t get caught. Even with all that kerfuffle and brouhaha, I’d be a GSK buyer to earn a handsome 6.2 percent dividend while waiting three to five years for the shares to double in price. Apparently, management believes its problems are over, and many on the street believe management will increase the dividend this year. In 2013, Glaxo had revenues of $42 billion, earned $3.52 a share and paid a $2.37 dividend. GSK has been bloodied by increased generic competition on some of its blockbuster medications and further hammered by cheaper generics flooding the U.S. and Europe-

an markets. As a result, 2014 revenues declined to $38 billion and earnings fell to $1.88 a share, but Glaxo paid a $2.66 dividend. In 2015, revenues declined again to $36 billion, earnings fell to $1.50 a share, and the dividend was reduced to $2.48. It’s been a tough two years for GSK as the shares foundered from $54 in 2013 to $38 last October. However, management recently bought Bristol-Myers’ pipeline of HIV drugs that includes some very promising late stage and early stage assets. This acquisition of promising HIV meds will strengthen one of GSK’s strongest growth platforms. GSK is already the majority owner of ViiV Healthcare, which manages the second-largest HIV business in the world. The HIV business is expected to contribute significantly to GSK’s top line comparisons. GSK also traded its oncology assets for Novartis’ vaccine business last year. This asset swap gives GSK a broad lineup of vaccine standouts that include Bexsero (immunization against invasive meningococcal meningitis) and Menveo (used to prevent infections caused by meningococcal bacteria). Vaccines are about 20 per-

cent of revenues and growing. GSK’s recently launched high margin HIV drugs are quickly gaining market share and should add nicely to earnings in the coming years. GSK’s respiratory business is on the rebound and the company’s launch of next-generation respiratory drugs should mitigate the competition from generics. The attractive 5.9 percent dividend is an impressive yield especially from a quality, pale blue chip pharmaceutical company with an impressive research department and an impressive stable of effective drugs and an impressive worldwide reputation. T. Rowe Price, Vanguard and Fidelity combined own over 25 million shares while Institutions like Bank of New York, Royal Bank of Canada, JP Morgan, Wells Fargo, etc., own over 100 million shares. Meanwhile, Argus has a buy recommendation on the stock and so do Reuters and Bank of America. You have a wise broker and I trust his recommendation.

ROMEOVILLE – Romeoville was named No. 7 of the Top 25 Best Small Cities in Illinois to Start a Business by WalletHub. Analysts researched more than 1,200 small cities across the nation to determine which small cities have the best business environments by studying factors like: cost of living, corporate taxes, office space availability, number of startups and educational attainment of workers, among other things, according to a news release. Each of the 25 cities listed includes their individual overall ranking, total score, business environment rank, access to resources rank and business costs rank. “We value our business community and it’s a testament to Romeoville to be recognized for this distinction,” Mayor John Noak said in the news release. “Our many resources and plans for future development continue to create an environment that attracts new businesses,” he added. Romeoville has recently held ribbon-cuttings for Woodspring Suites and the Mistwood Golf Clubhouse. In addition, Blain’s Farm and Fleet broke ground on a new

122,000-square-foot prototype building, expected to open sometime this fall.

3C centers named best Medical Marijuana Dispensaries

JOLIET – On April 27, 3C Compassionate Care Centers in Joliet and Naperville were named the best Medical Marijuana Dispensaries in the state of Illinois by Green Rush Daily. “We were completely stunned when we were notified,” co-owner Judge Robert Livas said in a news release. “This is a tribute to our amazing patient caregivers who not only are recognized as the most knowledgeable in the field but make sure that each patient is treated on an individual basis, and to my daughter and her husband who ensures that 3C offers the greatest variety of products for the patients to choose from.” Judge Livas’ daughter Traci was stricken with transverse myelitis, which left her a paraplegic. She and husband Hugo became determined to help others who had catastrophic illnesses or injuries. 3C’s mission is to donate a major portion of any profit back to the community and to the United Paralysis Foundation for medi-

cal research to help others with afflicting disabilities, according to the news release. 3C Compassionate Care Centers are located at 1700 Quincy Ave. in Naperville and 1627 Rock Creek Blvd. in Joliet.

OUR VIEW

Don’t ignore mom’s advice News editors traditionally challenge reporters to double-check the facts in their stories. “If your mother says she loves you, check it out,” some editors are fond of saying. In other words, a healthy skepticism is in order until you know absolutely that something is true. A turn of that phrase is in order as Illinois muddles through the 11th month of a state budget impasse. If Illinois legislators and the governor say they love their mothers, check it out. After all, what self-respecting mother would tolerate the way these men and women have taken our perfectly good state and messed everything up through their political squabbling and unwillingness to cooperate? Moms would come down hard on the questionable actions we regularly see in state government and the Legislature. If state leaders learned anything growing up, they seem to have totally forgotten it. For example: Play nice. Lawmakers and the governor clearly don’t. No name calling. Campaigning politicians regularly ignore this rule. Do first things first. Enacting a state budget is the Legislature’s and governor’s No. 1 priority. We’re more than 315 days into fiscal 2016 without one. That’s intolerable. Tell the truth. Leaders don’t level with the public about the deep sacrifices that are needed to fix Illinois’ billion-dollar deficits and debt. No cheating. Honesty, not deception, is the best policy – for children and adults. Don’t be selfish; share your toys. And share your power, Mr. Governor, Mr. Speaker and Mr. Senate President, so everyone has a hand in solving what ails Illinois. Do your homework. Legislators should read the excellent 2014 book “Fixing Illinois” for sage advice on how to restore Illinois’ greatness. Eat your vegetables. And while you’re at it, tackle important but mundane duties – such as legislative oversight of spending – because it’s good for you. Don’t load up on junk food. The same goes for all those perks offered by lobbyists. Remember the Golden Rule. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you? That one went out the window long ago with this bunch. Refuse to behave? Go take a time out. It’s too bad we can’t banish squabbling leaders to their rooms until they resolve to get along with each other. If lawmakers and the governor really love their mothers, they should act as if their moms are watching them all the time and govern the state accordingly. The greatest gift they could give their moms – and everyone else – would be a state that is wisely governed and on the road to fiscal recovery.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

Trump’s Wile E. Coyote moment Remember those Road Runner cartoons, where no matter what dirty tricks Wile E. Coyote used to catch the Road Runner, he would always end up frustrated while the Road Runner went “beep beep” and rocketed away? Recently, we’ve seen Donald Trump acting like the Coyote and going after Hillary Clinton with everything he could find in the Acme Co. catalog, including the gender card. Gender is always at play in politics and always has been. Abigail Adams, the wife of the second president and mother of the sixth president of the United States, had to remind her husband, “Remember the ladies,” as he left for Independence Hall. Respect for women’s equality was as much a part of the American Revolution as the Declaration of Independence. One of my closest allies in politics is a professor of women’s and gender studies at a

VIEWS Donna Brazile major public institution. After listening to Trump, the GOP’s presumptive nominee, she sent an urgent message. Perhaps her message was intended for Democrats, but every American women would do well to heed her, no matter their partisan affiliation. I’ve edited her remarks for brevity, but the following are 95 percent her words: “Are Dems missing the nontraditional dynamics of this race? What matters more than anything is if Trump successfully degrades the reputation of Clinton at this moment. ... “Demean, degrade. This is how bullying succeeds. It is how harassment succeeds. It turns good people into bystanders – not upstanders. Folks are missing the social psychology

of the Trump rhetoric. It works. Ignore it at [women’s] risk. “People identify with the bully and the bully’s power. Even all the Republican men have come onboard. No integrity, no respect. ... “The media [fosters] Trump’s surge because they only report on his personal attacks. Clinton’s and Sanders’ policies are mostly invisible except in sound bites. And only when they attack each other.” This woman is right. But Trump, in the guise of fighting “political correctness,” is attempting to win by debasing women’s dignity in general, and Hillary Clinton’s specifically. That’s what Trump does with opponents. He doesn’t attack policies, ever. He’s apparently incapable of arguing issues or sound policy. Instead, Trump insults opponent’s bodies, their character, their intelligence.

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.

But Trump refuses to give respect because insults about his opponents’ bodies and brains get votes. Recently, he said, “If Hillary Clinton were a man, I don’t think she’d get 5 percent of the vote.” What Trump wouldn’t man up to and plainly say is: “Clinton gets votes not by her skills, or smarts, or sweat, but only because she’s female.” Let’s look at that. If Hillary Clinton were a man, would New Yorkers have elected her U.S. senator by 12 percentage points in a landslide? Would New Yorkers have re-elected her a second time by a 34 percent margin? What were they thinking? If Hillary Clinton were a man,

would Barack Obama have done better in the 2008 Democratic primaries? Obama defeated Clinton in 2008 by just 42,622 votes out of 18 million popular votes cast. Did the Senate confirm Clinton 94 to 2 only because she’s a woman? Did the National Law Journal twice vote her one of “the most influential 100 lawyers in America” because Hillary’s a woman? I suppose the New York University Annual Survey of American Law would not have dedicated its 52nd volume to Clinton if she were a man with the same accomplishments. Neither would Newsweek have rated Clinton as the “13th most powerful person on the planet, and the most powerful American woman” in 2009.

As a white person, I must confess that my institutionalized racism kicked in and I immediately envisioned a white crowd, and the approach of black men with a gun reinforced a specific negative stereotype. Even had I envisioned a crowd of black people, the approach of black men with a gun would have reinforced a different stereotype. Did race matter in this story? If not, it could have been left unsaid; or, a racial designation could have been given for each participant. I believe that race really did not have anything to do with this story until a description of the shooter was given. Dorothy Brown Brumbaugh Joliet

This communication in the form of a letter, which may have given our elected council opportunity to voice concerns on dropping the law firm, was sequestered by the inspector general process until after the federal court granted the motion for the law firm to withdraw from the Evergreen Terrace case.

IRS scam calls

To the Editor: My wife and I got these IRS phone scam calls early this week. My wife likes to play around with them, so she did a back search on the phone number that came on out caller ID and it was from a street address in Seattle, Washington. When she asked the person where they where calling from, they said Washington, D.C. My wife told them they were lying and this is a scam. Those idiots kept on calling back. I blocked them from my phone, and anyone thinking they are from the IRS should have their head looked at. I hope the U.S. government can catch them and put them away.

To the Editor: Transparency was stated as the goal for city of Joliet Inspector General Chris Regis’ new position. Recent reporting in the May 10, 2016, edition of The Herald-News by Shaw Media writer Bob Okon makes one wonder about the question of transparency. Is the door of transparency open both ways?

Arkansas first lady up to her most recent time as a private citizen. Trump’s Wikipedia page lists 13 awards and honors. Among them, the “1990 Golden Raspberry Award for Worst Supporting Actor for his role in ‘Ghosts Can’t Do It,’” a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, a key to the city of Doral, Florida, and a nomination – by an “anonymous U.S. politician” for the Nobel Peace Prize. Trump also was awarded an honorary doctorate of business administration in 2010 by Robert Gordon University, which, alas, they revoked last December. You know what? If Clinton gets elected, I’ll bet Trump will say it was only because she’s a woman. I have his history on my side. So Trump uses gender for himself, but then calls out Clinton for saying her experience as a woman is value added to her presidential credentials (which, of course, I think it is).

What I love about Clinton’s response to the “woman card” remark is that she’s embracing it – “Deal me in.” She used that line earlier, but it has taken on a whole new meaning. It’s not whiny; it’s not saying he’s a sexist. She’s saying these issues matter and she’s the one who is going to make them a priority. Deal with it. Finally, should I mention Clinton’s current delegate lead triples if she were running under the Republican’s primary rules? “If the Democrats used Republican [rules], Clinton would have wrapped up the nomination long, long ago,” says the 538 Blog. As the Road Runner would say, “Beep! Beep!”

40 BASEBALL: WAUBONSEE 2, JOLIET JUNIOR COLLEGE 1

Waubonsee gets jump on JJC in Game 1 By DICK GOSS dgoss@shawmedia.com

JOLIET – In his three decades as baseball coach at Joliet Junior College, Wayne King has seen it all. That may not be true of the current roster of the Wolves, however. That’s what makes the remaining two games in the best-of-three Region IV Division III Regional against Waubonsee all the more intriguing. JJC had home-field advantage entering Friday afternoon’s series opener, but that perk slipped away when Waubonsee scored an unearned run in the top of the ninth inning off relief ace Trevor Maly to grab a 2-1 victory. The series shifts to Waubonsee for a noon game Sunday. The third game, which the Wolves are banking on becoming necessary, would be played at 3 p.m. Monday at Wayne L. King Jr. Field on the JJC campus. The Wolves (32-29) had a long afternoon trying to solve freshman righthander Jared Liebelt. The West Aurora graduate scattered five hits, walked one and struck out 10. The only inning where JJC managed more than one hit was the seventh, when Glenn Kubek singled, Davis Purviance beat out an infield single and Sam Muszynski hit a sacrifice fly to right field to match the run the Chefs had scored in the top of the sixth and tie it, 1-1. “Liebelt pitched really well,” King said. “He’s a good pitcher. We had not seen him previously (the Wolves beat the Chiefs twice during the regular season). We rolled some over against him instead of going the other way.” Liebelt enrolled at Villanova out of high school and was there for a semester. But homesickness brought him back to Aurora and to Waubonsee (3417). Chiefs coach Brad Unger, a Plainfield Central graduate, has done work with noted pitching guru Tom House. That association introduced Liebelt to House’s training methods, and he has added several miles per hour to his fastball. A speed gun on his pitches Friday indicated he was hitting 91. “This was a good game, a good pitchers’ duel,” King said. “You have to tip your hat to them.” Right-hander Pat Kenny went the first six innings for JJC and allowed one run on four hits while walking one and striking out six. He recorded big strikeouts to end mild threats in the third and fifth innings. Waubonsee finally broke the scoreless tie in the sixth on a single, stolen base and Klay Nafziger’s double. Brennan Polcyn relieved Ken-

Joliet Junior College’s Patrick Kenny pitches to Waubonsee’s Klay Nafziger on Friday in the opening game of the Region IV Division III Regional at Wayne L. King Jr. Field. ny and worked a scoreless seventh inning, with the help of an excellent catch in deep center field by center fielder Jermaine Terry. It was Terry’s second defensive gem as he also had made a diving catch of a line drive while racing toward the infield in the first inning. “Terry is an athlete,” King said. “Those are plays he is supposed to make.” When JJC rallied to tie it in the bottom of the seventh, King inserted Sunday’s starting pitcher, Charlie Wright, as a pinch-runner for Kubek. Wright came around to score the tying run. “Charlie is fast; He has good baseball instincts,” King said. “If you asked him, he would tell you he should be playing in the outfield for us.” But outside of the seventh inning, the Wolves did little offensively. They left one runner total over the final five innings and never stranded more than one in an inning. The seventh was the only inning where they put a runner in scoring position. The decisive ninth-inning run for Waubonsee scored with two outs on second baseman Jeff Szubert’s throwing error, his second of the game. Both

times, he threw a lob toss well off the target. “I don’t know why,” King said when asked about Szubert’s sudden throwing issue. “He’s telling me he is OK (physically). Maybe it’s him wanting to be out there, which you admire. We’ll find out what it is before Sunday.” King said when he brought Maly into the game in the eighth, “I felt good about where we were. He’s been good all year. I knew they wouldn’t bang him around.” Unfortunately, the ninth-inning fielding issues were symbolic of the type of things the Wolves have seen before. “We hurt ourselves with the couple errors in the ninth, but that’s the way things have gone,” King said. “That’s why we’re 32-29. In a great game like this, you can’t do that stuff.” So now, there is nothing left but to regroup. “There is no situation I have not experienced,” King said. “But what have these kids experienced? They have to be tight when they come out Sunday. But the big thing is, we have to hit. We have to score some runs. We do that, and we will be OK.”

Waubonsee’s Patrick Killelea slides into second with a stolen base Friday as JJC’s Thomas Smith takes the throw.

That might take away a little of our scoring ability, but it gave us our best chance to win.” Cipolle plays midfield for West, and

she had a bang-up, physical game. “Kara was on fire for this one,” O’Shea said. “She wanted to win so bad. She is a senior who is a great example for the team to follow her. She gets it.”

“The last time against them (Steelmen), it was just as tough of a game,” Cipolle said. “Central’s a good team, they gave us a run last time, too, when they beat us on a goal off a free kick. Each team wanted this just as bad as the other. “This is a good way for us to go into the regional (semifinals). To make it is amazing.” In the first half, Baloy had to jump and reach high to make a one-handed block of a wind-aided shot. West forward Anessa Munoz had a shot sail in the wind wide right. “That wind was crazy,” Baloy said. “It was hard to work against that. I’m so thankful that we were able to get it done.” Munoz made a strong move against the defense of Bazan early in the second half, but her left-footed attempt hit the post of the net and bounced away. Zamudio turned away Munoz on a later occasion when she worked her way in. In the second overtime, Tigers’ forward Julissa Herrera had a point-blank shot off a corner kick, but Central defender Abby Tropp was there to make the save. Cipolle nearly battled free to get in position for the potential winning goal late in the second overtime, but Bazan stopped her from getting off a shot. Herrera went down with an Achilles’ injury shortly after nearly scoring what could have been the decisive goal. She did not return, and her status for Tuesday’s game was uncertain.

JOLIET – Joliet West sophomore Samantha Baloy had spent 100 minutes in goal Saturday shutting out rival Joliet Central in the quarterfinal game of the Class 3A Joliet West Regional Soccer Tournament. But when the struggle for survival moved on to penalty kicks, Baloy’s role changed. Senior Kara Cipolle, the first of five to kick for West, drove a shot past Central goalie Juana Zamudio into the right side of the net for a 1-0 West advantage. That held until Central’s Karla Contreras, the fourth kicker for the Steelmen, sent a shot past West goalie Desia Thurmond and into the left side of the net to make it 1-1. Baloy was the last to kick for either side. She booted the game-winner for a 2-1 advantage on penalty kicks and a 1-0 victory that lifts the Tigers into Tuesday’s regional semifinal at West against Minooka. West (9-11) is the No. 7 seed and Minooka is the No. 2 seed in one sub-sectional of the Normal Community Sectional. Central (3-11-1), which had beaten West, 1-0, in their SouthWest Suburban Blue meeting, was the No. 9 seed. “I’m usually our No. 3 kicker on penalty kicks,” Baloy said. “Today our coach (Mike O’Shea) told me I was going to go last. I’m two out of three on them now. “I like doing them, and it’s great that we have a goalie like Desia to be in there for the penalty kicks.” O’Shea said he had Baloy on the freshman team last season, “and she is a shooter. We had been 0 for 2 in penalty shootouts, but when it got to that point today, I knew she could be the one to do it for us.” The game not only was scoreless through two halves and two 10-minute overtime periods, but neither team had many good scoring opportunities. Credit the defenses. “It was a tough defensive battle both ways,” O’Shea said. “I knew after the first 10 minutes it was going to be that kind of game.” “It was a battle beginning to end,” Central coach Erin Hammond said. “Both teams played a tough game. There was good defense back and forth. Either team was deserving of the win. We work on penalty kicks a lot, and we had our five out there who have shown the most consistency, but we just couldn’t finish on them.” Central sophomore Hayley Bazan can play anywhere on the field. She led the Steelmen in scoring over the course of the season, but Hammond said, “In

42 BOYS WATER POLO: LINCOLN-WAY NORTH SECTIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP: LINCOLN-WAY EAST 12, LINCOLN-WAY CENTRAL 8

Lincoln-Way East earns first state trip since ’07 By CURT HERRON cherron@shawmedia.com

FRANKFORT – It had been quite awhile since Lincoln-Way East’s boys water polo team had qualified for a trip to the state finals. But someone who certainly knew that the Griffins had won three straight sectional titles from 2005-07 was their current coach, Zach VanSwol, who played on each of those squads. In just his second year on the job, VanSwol’s team ended the drought, and also wiped away memories of five straight losing campaigns before this year, when East beat Lincoln-Way Central, 12-8, in Saturday’s Lincoln-Way North Sectional championship. But the Griffins couldn’t pull off a sweep for the day as the Phoenix girls won their school’s initial sectional title in the sport when they beat East, 16-9, in the final event at North’s pool. East advances to Thursday’s 7 p.m. IHSA finals at Stevenson in Lincolnshire, where it will meet Saint Ignatius, which won its own sectional 14-6 over Whitney Young. The Knights (23-10) were hoping to win a second-straight sectional ti-

tle and hoped to use their defense to avenge an earlier loss to the Griffins (25-5). But East kept Central off the scoreboard in the first quarter to grab an early 5-0 lead and then nearly duplicated that feat in the third quarter to take a 9-5 advantage into the final seven minutes. “This was four years in the making,” East’s Bryan McNitt said. “We worked our butts off this year and this feels great, it’s one of the happiest moments of my life. It’s amazing how far the program has come. Some of us have played together since we were 9 or 10, so we’re a bunch of brothers. We’re not a team, we’re a family, and we mesh and everything works. “It’s nice when you can go up on a team right away. But our offense isn’t what won that game, it was our defense. Our goalie, Jake Culver, and Jon Limp in hole were amazing.” While East was getting first-period goals from Collin O’Donnell (four goals), Andrew Brozovic (two goals), Austin Pearson, McNitt (three goals) and Mason Maze, goalie Jake Culver halted five shots. Central didn’t score until 24 seconds into the second period, when Matt Klock connected, and it still had only that goal going into the

last three minutes of the half. “That start was awesome,” said Culver, who will play for Central next year. “We had a strong defense and that’s why that first quarter turned out real well. That was a great confidence booster for the game. Then they started getting a little momentum but we came right back. All of the hard work that we’ve put in is paying off. We’re all good friends and we’re brothers.” Although the Knights trailed 6-1 after 11 minutes, they weren’t ready to quit. Cody Torres (two goals), Dylan Sterling and Cody Kolbus (three goals) found the net and the Griffins went over six minutes without connecting to cut the lead to 6-4 at the break. While Knights goalie Jake Burke made several big stops in the third quarter, Central struggled to move the ball down the pool and as a result, didn’t score until just 10 seconds remained, when Ryan Burke put one in. Meanwhile, McNitt’s goal with 3:16 left in the third led to a 3-0 run which put the Griffins in a good spot with one period left. With O’Donnell collecting three of his goals in the fourth quarter, the Knights were unable to get any closer

than three scores back the rest of the way. “It means a lot to go out like this in our senior year,” O’Donnell said. “I was glad that my teammates got me the ball and I was able to complete what they handed off to me. We put in a lot of work and I give a lot of credit to our coach since he turned around our program. He pushes us and we put in the effort and that helps us succeed. This is a great group of friends and we really support each other and work well together. It’s a fun team to be on.” Central has been a team that’s prided itself on its defense, but coach Jim Lock realized that East’s fast swimmers posed problems for his squad, which featured only four seniors. “We’ve always been slow starters and then you have a swimming team like that which can go, go, go,” Lock said. “We get into the game and do fine, but when you let them get a four-goal lead to start, look at the difference, four goals. We had a lot of momentum going into halftime and lost it. They beat us 12-5 earlier and we don’t normally give up 12 goals. We knew what they were going to do and they did exactly that and we didn’t stop them.”

CLASS 1A COAL CITY GIRLS SOCCER REGIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP: HERSCHER 2, JOLIET CATHOLIC 1

Joliet Catholic falls short in regional soccer final By DICK GOSS dgoss@shawmedia.com COAL CITY – The championship game of the Class 1A Coal City Girls Soccer Regional was on the way to being a shootout. Less than 12 minutes into the battle between Herscher, the No. 1 seed in Sub-Sectional B of the Herscher Sectional, and No. 4 seed Joliet Catholic, Herscher was on top, 2-1. To that point, the Angels created more pressure and had more opportunities, but the Tigers were more opportunistic. Then, as can happen in a soccer game between two good teams, nothing more happened – at least not on the scoreboard. The last 68 minutes were especially frustrating to JCA, which saw its dreams of a regional title erased by that same 2-1 score. “It’s sad to go down like this,” Angels midfielder/forward Andriana Acosta said. “We lost to Benet, Nazareth, Viator – all good teams – by one

goal. To lose by one goal in the regional championship, it’s tough. We were really confident we would win this. “We felt like this was our year. We worked hard and we played well the whole season. Sometimes in soccer, it doesn’t work out. But I am very proud of this team.” Herscher (16-4) got on the board first when Devyn Devore scored with 35:36 remaining in the first half. However, JCA (11-7) got even in a hurry. Acosta got the ball to the neighborhood of the net, where sophomore midfielder Mia Gruber controlled it and passed to junior midfielder Alyson Egizio. She drilled home a shot from in front to create the 1-1 tie with 32:03 on the clock. Angels keeper Grace Whalen made a good save and Acosta hit the side of the net with a shot from the side. The Angels were primed to take control. It did not happen, however. Herscher’s Mattie Brown, a thorn in the Angels’ side all afternoon, scored after JCA failed to clear a corner kick

from in front of the net to make it 2-1 with 28:04 left in the half. “Their first goal went off our goalie and on the second one, we didn’t clear it out when we had a chance,” Acosta said. Whalen made a couple of quality saves the rest of the way, and the defense, particularly senior Kelsey Builta and junior Erin Egizio, stepped up. Builta made three sliding moves in the second half to knock the ball away when it appeared Brown could be breaking free and on her way to a clear shot. Still, the issue remained. After Alyson Egizio’s early goal, the Angels were blanked. “They took two early shots and they had two goals,” JCA coach Oscar Valdez said. “We missed tons of opportunities all game long. We just did not find the net.” Valdez, though, emphasized Herscher deserved to move on to the sectional the Tigers are hosting. “They played a better game,” he

said. “They deserve all the credit. I wish them good luck as they move on.” Valdez said he will miss his three seniors – Acosta, Builta and defender/ midfielder Mariah Rodriguez. “It was a good season for the Angels, but the three seniors are really going to be missed,” he said. “They are three top players.” Acosta, also an accomplished basketball and volleyball player, will continue her basketball career playing for Samantha Quigley at University of St. Francis. Come next spring, remaining in Joliet will provide another perk. “This is a young, talented team,” Acosta said. “They are going to be very good next year. I can’t wait to come see them play.” Of course, Acosta has a little extra incentive to watch the Angels. Her sister, Alena, is a junior midfielder. “This team is definitely going in the right direction,” Acosta said. “They have the right mindset.”

I was just trying to go for a place today and battle hard with some of the best girls in the state. It was really windy so I was trying to stick as close as I could and at the end, I gave it all I had.” The Raiders qualified Rachel McNiel (shot put) and their 4x100 relay of Claire Young, Karah Evans, Kayla Walters and Kayla Perry.

LOCKPORT – After capturing titles at the Homewood-Flossmoor Sectional for the past four years, Lincoln-Way East’s girls track and field team got a change of scenery this season. Instead of heading east, the Griffins went west and took part in a Lockport Sectional, which proved to be challenging, even to a program that is a threetime defending state champion. With a strong Downers Grove South squad being joined by quality programs such as Hinsdale Central, Downers Grove North and Lockport, East suddenly had different things to contend with than they’ve faced in recent years. But coach Brian Evans’ squad proved to be up to the challenge after claiming top honors in the meet by a 132-107 margin over Downers South. That showing, mixed in with a strong effort in the SouthWest Suburban Blue meet, should provide plenty of momentum for East as it gets ready to participate in this weekend’s IHSA Class 3A finals in Charleston. “Our conference win last week really kind of set the table for the sectional,” Evans said. “This was a very tough sectional and we saw a lot of tough competitors and our kids stepped up and made sure that they secure their position to get to next week, so we’re very pleased. “In my years at Thornwood and then here, we were always dealing with the same teams but now we’re going up against teams that I don’t know much about and haven’t faced in our regular season. It was very challenging, but at the end of the day it doesn’t matter who’s in the lane next to you. We came ready and the kids showed they’re ready for next week.” Besides having eight athletes on the squad who have accounted for 33 state medals and eight championships, the Griffins had plenty of new faces step up to earn spots in Charleston. “Our 4 x 8 kicked the day off and we had a freshman on that,” Evans said. “Our shot putter, Lauren LaDere, had a very big day going 42 feet and has never been to state before. And our second hurdler in the 300, Katie DeJulius, is only a sophomore and she punched her ticket today. We obviously have a lot of veteran leadership, but part of their job is to show these underclassmen how it’s done since we want to keep this tradition going.” Kayla Hylton won the 200 and tied for first in the 100 while Alexis Pierre-Antoine was first in the 300 hurdles and took second in the 100 hurdles.

44 BASEBALL: MORRIS 5, STREATOR 4

Morris scores extra-inning win By ROB OESTERLE roesterle@shawmedia.com

MORRIS – Way back when, before the players on the Morris High School baseball team were even born, Cubs broadcaster Jack Brickhouse would say, if the game was tied going into the bottom of the ninth, “Any old type of run will win this game.” In all of his years behind the microphone, it’s hard to believe Brickhouse saw any old type of run score in the fashion that Morris’ winning run did Saturday afternoon in the opener of the LaSalle-Peru Cavalier Classic, played at Morris due to bad weather on Friday night. Morris and Streator were tied at 4 after eight and a half innings, and the Redskins’ Jordan Miracle led off the bottom of the ninth with a single up the middle. Michael Metesh struck out, but with cleanup hitter Kamron Dransfeldt at the plate, Miracle stole second and then reached third on a wild pitch. Then, Dransfeldt hit a little blooper between first base and the pitcher’s mound. The Streator pitcher and first baseman each went after it and collided and the ball dropped in safely, but didn’t roll far enough away for Miracle to break for the plate. Dransfeldt, though, rounded first and broke for second. The Streator first baseman, missing both his hat and glove from the collision, picked the ball up and tried to throw Dransfeldt out at second. The ball got away, and Miracle came home with the winning run, boosting Morris (12-17) into the next tournament round, facing the winner of Oak Forest and Burlington Central. “That was a heads-up play by Kameron to break for second,” Kein said. “But we had plenty of chances earlier in the game that we should have taken advantage of and not been in this position. We aren’t good enough to be complacent at any point, and I think we got that way after scoring three runs in the first inning.” Morris showed a little bit of everything in the bottom of the first. Danny Borgstrom led off the inning with a solo home run, then Ben Larson singled home Metesh, who had earlier reached on a single. Finally, with runners on first and third, Larson stole second and pinch-runner Nathan Wantland stole home on a double steal. Streator pushed a run across in the top of the fourth off Morris starter Colton Akre, who was brilliant through his six innings of work, allowing just one earned run. The Redskins countered with a

Streator, though, got three unearned runs in the fifth to tie the game. Freshman Jacob Overbeck made his varsity debut for Morris in the top of the seventh after Akre allowed a lead off single and went the final three innings for the win. In the top of the seventh, Streator had runners on first and second with one out, but Morris’ Payton Voitik made a diving catch of a liner in right and threw to first to double off the runner. In the eighth, the Bulldogs had a runner on first and shortstop Borgstrom made a diving, backhanded catch of a blooper headed to left field, scrambled to his feet and doubled off the runner at first. In the top of the ninth, a Streator runner on first was off with the pitch, but the ball was lined right at Miracle at second, who caught it and threw to first to double the runner off. “Jacob Overbeck is a very competitive kid,” Kein said. “That’s a tough spot for a freshman to make a varsity debut, but we wouldn’t have put him in there if we didn’t have confidence in him. “Our defense gave up a few runs in the fifth, but we came up with some nice plays to keep us in the game later. What we need now is to become more consistent on offense. We had runners on quite a bit, but we just can’t get that big hit to bring them in. That’s what we need more of.”

CHARLESTON – Lockport’s doubles team of Jessica Miller and Haley Egelhof gave coach Denise Hadley a nice retirement present after they claimed fifth place in the IHSA badminton finals at Eastern Illinois University. Egelhof and Miller won their three matches on Friday before suffering their lone loss, 21-23, 21-13, 21-14, to Naperville North’s Clara Duan and Claire Jiang in Saturday’s quarterfinals. The pair won their final three matches to become just Lockport’s fifth doubles team and their 13th and 14th players to medal at state during Hadley’s 32-year career. In the third round, the Porters duo claimed a 21-18, 21-19 victory over New Trier’s Natalie Mardoian and Kaylin Steinberg. After their quarterfinal loss, Miller and Egelhof won a consolation match 21-16, 21-19 over Lincoln-Way West’s Grace and Julia Monti. They beat Hinsdale South’s Jacque Cameli and Caroline Lee 21-9, 21-17 in their finale. Also for Lockport, Hannah Burke

won her first two matches before losing to Neuqua Valley’s Lauren Ho and then she dropped her next match in three sets while Jenna Franzen claimed a consolation win before suffering her second loss. The Porters scored 7.0 points, which was good for ninth place. Lincoln-Way West scored 6.0 points to tie Lake Park for 11th place. The Montis also won their first two matches before falling 21-12, 21-19 to Cameli and Lee. But they bounced back to win their next two matches before falling to the Porters doubles squad to come up one match shy of earning a medal for a top-six showing. Cassie Ruettiger won her first two matches before dropping a 1021, 22-20, 21-16 decision to Naperville Central’s Surya Nair, who claimed third place, and then she lost another three-set match. West’s other doubles team of Megan Smalter and Abriella Caravette won two consolation matches during a 2-2 Friday. Lincoln-Way Central’s Kaitlyn Forsythe won her opener before dropping two consolation matches.

burgh in the National League Central standings. For example, Jason Heyward beat out an infield single to open the bottom of the fourth inning, and Kris Bryant rallied from a 0-2 count to draw a walk. Those little moments set the stage for Anthony Rizzo’s three-run blast to right, which gave the Cubs a 3-2 lead they never relinquished. Russell, not far removed from receiving Maddon’s morning praise, padded the lead with a two-run homer in the

sixth. “I was in there this morning watching Addison get ready for today’s game,” Maddon said. “Wow. That was 10:15 (a.m.), and all the stuff he was doing in there to play a full game of baseball today. I was really impressed with his routine at 10 o’clock in the morning for a 1:20 game. He’s 22 and he gets it already.” Russell picked up pieces of his pregame routine from other players, and his dedication spreads to others. “Everyone has an individual game

YANKEES 2, WHITE SOX 1

Quintana on course to be an All-Star By DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN dvanschouwen@suntimes.com NEW YORK – At this rate, it will happen for Jose Quintana. And if it does, the happiest 24 people in the world will be the White Sox left-hander’s teammates. Chris Sale has talked to Quintana, the other half of the Sox’s formidable 1-2 left-hand punch, about what it’s like to participate in the All-Star Game. “It would be cool to see him go,” said Sale, who has been there four times. “It’s hectic and there’s a lot going on in a short period of time, but it’s an experience to share with your friends and family you never thought you’d be able to do.” The way Quintana is pitching – he held an opponent to two runs or fewer for the eighth time in as many outings in the Sox’s 2-1 loss to the New York Yankees on Saturday – he will be a lock to make his first appearance at the midsummer classic. His 1.54 ERA is second only to Detroit Tigers right-hander Jordan Zimmerman (1.50), and thanks to ample run

support (but not at Yankee Stadium on Saturday) for the first time in his career, he owns a 5-2 record. Since late July, he is 10-3 with a 2.27 ERA in 21 starts. Quintana had one off inning Saturday, the second, when a two-out walk to Chase Headley preceded Aaron Hicks’ RBI double and Didi Gregorius’ RBI single. “The base on balls against Headley changed Jose the ballgame for me,” Quintana Quintana said. “I missed a couple of pitches against Hicks and that was it. Tough game.” After that, he retired 15 of 18 Yankees, finishing with two runs allowed on five hits and two walks while striking out five. “He had one inning that ends up tripping him up, but he’s sharp as usual,” Sox manager Robin Ventura said. “That’s just what you expect out of him.” Teammates have come to expect excellence and class from the Colombian

native who posted ERAs of 3.51, 3.32 and 3.36 in three tough-luck, 200-inning seasons before this one. Poor run support held him to nine wins in each of those years, but he “never complained or pointed fingers,” Ventura said. The bad luck trend seems to be turning in his favor. Saturday’s loss snapped a four-game winning streak, the first of his career. “(Carlos) Rodon and I were saying the other day,” Sale said, “that if you’re going to teach someone from scratch how to pitch, you would take a lot of what Jose does. He has really good rhythm, great tempo, good arm action, good mechanics. He kind of flows it, and the ball is jumping out of his hand a lot better this year. He’s throwing 2 or 3 mph harder and his curve ball has gone to that next level. It’s a little bit harder, a little sharper.” Yankees pitchers were sharp, too, holding the Sox to five hits. Todd Frazier’s team-high 12th homer to left against Ivan Nova (2-1) in the fourth was the only run for the Sox (24-13). Brett

Lawrie doubled off the left-field wall near the “399-foot” sign two batters later, but that was all the Sox could muster against Nova before Dellin Betances, Andrew Miller and Aroldis Chapman (second save) came on. Betances struck out all four batters he faced, and Miller and Chapman each struck out two. Frazier battled but struck out against Chapman, his former Cincinnati Reds teammate, in the ninth. Pinch hitter Jerry Sands, batting for Melky Cabrera – “rolling the dice” as Ventura put it – also struck out before Lawrie flied to left to end the game. Quintana leads baseball in starts with two earned runs allowed or fewer, snapping a tie with the Dodgers Clayton Kershaw (seven starts). That’s the stuff all-stars are made of, but it’s a bit premature to start that discussion, he said. “That’s a dream for any pitcher to make the All-Stars,” Quintana said. “But it’s too early to talk about that. You have to have a really good year, but my focus is on the team right now and trying to win games.”

CHICAGO – Leadership was the theme of Joe Maddon’s pregame conversation Saturday, one day after the Cubs rebounded from their first losing “streak” of the season. Leadership has come from all sorts of places for these Cubs. David Ross, at age 39, has emerged as a key piece on and off the field during his last season before retirement. Addison Russell, at age 22, continues to impress the Cubs manager with his preparation and workout regimen. Leaders, Maddon said, aren’t just the players who bat .330 or hit 30 home runs or win 20 games. They’re the players who listen to teammates and put someone else first on a daily basis. “Leadership is taken,” Maddon said. “You can’t give leadership. Guys have to take it. It just happens. You can’t anoint a leader.” The Cubs get plenty of leadership on the field, too, through their approach, hustle and execution. All three were on display in Saturday’s 8-2 victory against the Pirates, which clinched the Cubs the series and put them nine games ahead of Pitts-

plan,” Russell said. “Being so young, I try to grab and pick and talk to guys a little bit about how they prepare for the game. I incorporate it into my routine.” And then there’s Jake Arrieta, a textbook case of a player who, as Maddon said, “leads by example.” Arrieta, who has more no-hitters (two) than losses (one) in his past 27 starts, picked up his seventh win of the season with another dazzling performance. He gave up two runs on three hits in the fourth inning and posted zeroes in each of the other seven he pitched. Arrieta also struck out 11, a season-high. “I knew I had my work cut out for me and needed to tighten it up,” Arrieta said of the two-run fourth inning. “I had to do some things a little better and was able to after that point.” At 27-8, the Cubs are off to the best start through 35 games since the 1984 Tigers went 30-5. Strong starts are one thing, but good leadership will make for a strong finish, too. “If you come to this group now and have not had a good work ethic, or a questionable work ethic,” Maddon said, “I promise you it’s going to get pushed in the right direction quickly.”

INDYCAR RACING

Pagenaud gets 3rd straight victory By MICHAEL MAROT The Associated Press INDIANAPOLIS – Simon Pagenaud turned up the heat in Indianapolis’ record-breaking cold Saturday. The hottest driver in the IndyCar Series took the lead when teammate Helio Castroneves pitted with 20 laps to go, then beat Castroneves out of the pits one lap later to keep the lead and pulled away to take the Grand Prix of Indianapolis for his third consecutive victory. Pagenaud beat the Brazilian by a race-record 4.4748 seconds on the 2.439-mile, 14-turn road course, becoming the first IndyCar driver to win three straight since Scott Dixon in 2013 and the first two-

time winner of the race. “The temperature was so low, the tires weren’t supposed to work in these temperatures but they (worked) very well,” Pagenaud said. “We kept our best tires for the end of the race knowing it’s when we would want the best performance, when I could really push. When I put those tires on the car it was magical.” The whole season has gone that way for the French driver. Since finishing second in this season’s first two races, Pagenaud has won three straight, back-toback poles and holds a 76-point lead over defending series champ Scott Dixon. And this time, his biggest challenge was the weather.

NASCAR: XFINITY

Erik Jones wins Xfinity race at Dover The ASSOCIATED PRESS DOVER, Del. – Erik Jones won the Xfinity Series race Saturday at Dover International Speedway and took a $100,000 bonus from the series’ Dash-4-Cash program. Four drivers were eligible for the bonus Saturday, and Jones won it for the second time this season. There’s one more Dash-4-Cash race, at Indianapolis this summer. Jones led a race-high 76 laps in his Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota and he was cruising to the win until a caution came out with 11 laps remaining because Brendan Gaughan spun. The yellow flag ate up Jones’ lead over Alex Bowman, who pitted under the caution for four tires. Jones did not pit and admitted he was worried about the strategy. “At first I couldn’t see how many came to pit road, I was a little anxious to see how many came

and how many stayed out,” he said. “Fortunately enough stayed out to make it viable for us to win.” Jones was the leader on the restart with five to go, and Bowman was fourth. But Jones got a nice push from Darrell Wallace Jr. that allowed him to break free of the pack. Jones later thanked Wallace for the push. “You’re welcome for that restart, Erik,” Wallace said as Jones was doing a celebratory burnout. Jones didn’t stress when the caution came out and instead just tried to focus on winning the race. “It’s not the first time it’s happened to me, unfortunately,” Jones said of the late flag. “If I remember the first time, I was pretty upset and this time I was pretty calm and collected and wasn’t too worried about it.

Proud to be part of the Rialto Stagehand’s family goes back to Joliet theater’s beginnings By JAN STEELE Shaw Media correspondent

OLIET – Lorin Lynch has spent a greater part of the past 42 years working behind the scenery at the Rialto Square Theatre in Joliet. But that is only one chapter in his family’s storied 90-year love affair with the Jewel of Joliet. The Lynches have been backstage for good times and bad, through the bustling vaudeville days, the lean years, the big comeback in 1981 and the latest troubles. Lorin Lynch’s great-uncle Hiram “Butch” Lynch was one of the signers of the original charter for the local stagehands union back in 1905 and became the Rialto’s stage manager the year it opened in 1926. His grandfather Louis was a stagehand, as was his father, LaVerne, an only child who was also a Joliet cop. Lynch’s two brothers, Brian and Blake, have also been stagehands, as have a nephew and niece. The job involves a “lot of pushing” but has its cerebral side, too. As his union’s business agent, Lynch’s work entails putting the right people in the right jobs. That seems very similar to his longtime day job – human resources recruiter. “I’ve been very fortunate to have two careers I love,” said the former football standout who made All State at Joliet West High School, Class of ’68. “I love recruiting and I love theater.” Lynch, now 65 and of New Lenox, majored in business administration and marketing at the University of Iowa, where he played football, then worked as a headhunter in downtown Chicago for 25 years. He still does some recruiting, but stage work keeps him quite busy; he worked about 240 shows last year, mostly on the lighting board. Nearly every stagehand union member – and there are 35 in Joliet – has a full-time job apart from the Rialto. The members have seen lean years – the ’70s come to mind – and the number of yearly shows can vary. Union members work shows in all of Will County. That includes the racetrack and Taste of Joliet, and even extends at times to the Paramount Theatre in Aurora or United Center in Chicago. Stagehand Local 124 is part of the International Alliance of Theatrical

Lorin Lynch has worked at the Rialto Square Theatre for 42 years. He is the third-generation member of his family to work as a stagehand at the theater. Stage Employees, Moving Picture Technicians, Artists and Allied Crafts of United States, its territories and Canada. As a moving picture technician, Lynch helped put up all the movie screens in Will County. Lynch remembers his first show at the Rialto was “the Kiwanis Show at Joliet Central,” and he said all the Kiwanis shows were great fun. There are memories of going to work with his dad when he was a kid, but by then the Rialto was used mostly for movies. His dad raised and lowered the curtains, or turned lights on and off, fitting it around his night shift as a Joliet police officer walking the downtown beat. His dad also helped with the occasional star appearance and hometown productions. The stories Lynch heard about the Rialto’s heyday he learned from his dad because his grandpa died when he

was 5 and his great-uncle died before he was born. Stories include the time Gene Autry brought his horse Champion on stage or playing cards backstage with Perry Como. Happily, Lynch’s dad got to see the revival of the Rialto before his death in 1985. Lynch’s favorite shows are Broadway musicals and this past winter he manned a spotlight at “Hairspray” at the Paramount in Aurora, eight shows a week. The touring Broadway shows are the most work. “We start at 8 a.m. and may end at 1 or 2 a.m.,” Lynch said. “And then we have to load it back out. We might see four semis of equipment and need 50 to 60 guys to set it up.” Lynch believes the Rialto’s busiest days since its renovation were under Lynne Lichtenauer’s directorship in the ’80s and early ’90s – but then he might be a tad partial. The two have

been together for 34 years. “She knew my dad because she did stuff for the cooking shows and we kind of knew each other,” Lynch said. “She was in group sales and I would leave little notes for her. We both were dating someone else, but then both broke up.” Lynch still remembers their first date – Dec. 26, 1982 – when they saw “Tootsie” at the Jefferson Square Mall. Lichtenauer has been the alumni director at Joliet Township High Schools for the past 16 years. Although sometimes it seems Lynch is at the Paramount more than the Rialto, the Rialto is still first in his heart “It is one of the most gorgeous theaters you will ever see,” Lynch said. “It makes you feel proud to work at a theater like this one, to be connected to something so beautiful.”

Will South Cook SWCD is offering low-cost soil testing The HERALD–NEWS NEW LENOX – The Will South Cook SWCD is offering a low-cost soil testing program to help residents make informed decisions about the management of soil nutrients. Soil tests provide information on fertilizer needs which help save money and time as well as protect the environment from contaminated runoff from overfertilization. Soil tests should be taken in the spring or fall for established sites and at any time of year for new seeding and plantings. Taking a soil test every two to three

years is usually adequate to monitor nutrient levels; you may need to test more frequently if management practices change. Samples should be taken before soil temperatures drop below 50 degrees. Staff at the Conservation District will help you interpret the results of your test, which will include specific fertilizer recommendations for your crop. A soil testing brochure with detailed instructions on collecting and submitting soil sample can be found on the SWCD’s website, www. will-scookswcd.org or by calling the office at 815-462-3106, ext. 3.

Rialto Square Theatre in Joliet hosts special ‘Sesame Street’ event

If you go

OLIET – In early April, Jack Ericksen read the email that changed a 4-year-old girl’s life. Ericksen, interim general manager/director of development at the Rialto Square Theater, said Jon Cesena had written to say he had purchased tickets to the Rialto’s “Sesame Street Live” show for his daughter Raegan. The show was April 2. Raegan – a huge Sesame Street fan – would turn 4 the next day. “The father wanted to know if there was some way the Rialto could make this day special for her,” Ericksen said. Ericksen said the Rialto often gets special requests and, when possible, tries to honor them. This time, Ericksen knew the Rialto could make this little girl’s dream come true. Before “Sesame Street Live”

photographs. Since it’s the production company’s event, it sets the charges; the Rialto doesn’t make any money from it, Ericksen said. But the Rialto did buy the package for Raegan, so she could spend some time posing and interacting with her favorite characters. The Rialto also presented her with tickets to the showing of the “Mary Poppins” movie scheduled for May 19. “Anytime we can make something more special, we will, especially for children,” Ericksen said. Ericksen has since talked to Cesena, who said his daughter was thrilled with the entire day. “He said she lives and breathes Sesame Street,” Ericksen said, “so it worked very well for her birthday.”

ROCKDALE – It started out in 1891 as a one-room schoolhouse on Mound Road not far from Midland Avenue. Alma R. Porter was the lone instructor. She taught 22 children in three different levels of classes and earned $40 a month. The students did their work on writing slates. Now Rockdale School has nearly 300 students enrolled in kindergarten through eighth-grade classes inside the red brick building at 715 Meadow Ave. There are 40 teachers and staff members. And it soon will mark a significant milestone: Rockdale School will be 125 years old on May 21. To celebrate, school officials have organized three days of activities beginning May 19 with a three-on-three basketball tournament and ending May 21 with a party including an inflatable carnival at CB Diamond. The events have been planned as a kind of reunion. Not long after she joined the district last year, Superintendent Lori Gehrke realized the school soon would have a

Common cold cure not coming Dear Dr. K: Is there any way to prevent a

cold?

Dear Reader: Now, there’s a short, simple question. If only I had a short, simple answer. Colds are caused by viruses – more than 200 different types. Because the infection is not caused by bacteria, antibiotics don’t help. Over-the-counter cold medicines are available, but not always effective. So the search continues for anything that can fend off cold-causing viruses or speed their exit from your body. Here is a rundown of some of the candidates: • Vitamins. Biochemist Linus Pauling proposed large daily doses of vitamin C – 1,000 to 2,000 milligrams (mg) – could prevent colds. Pauling was a genius who made major scientific discoveries and was awarded the Nobel Prize. But even geniuses can be wrong. By and large, research hasn’t supported his assertion. One study did report a benefit, but just in people who engage in extreme exercise. There’s some evidence vitamins D and E might help fend off respiratory infections, but the evidence is weak. I don’t recommend either vitamin for cold-fighting purposes. • Echinacea. The research hasn’t been very encouraging. One review found some evidence a certain part of one particular species of the Echinacea plant family might be an effective early treatment for colds in adults. Not exactly a ringing endorsement. Other plant-based treatments, such as ginseng, elderberry, garlic and olive leaf, have been offered as cold preventives and cures. But none has emerged as clearly effective. • Zinc. The results have been mixed. Two studies in children found zinc might reduce the number of colds. The evidence in adults is unclear and hotly debated. Taking too

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff much zinc can damage smell and taste. For now, I wouldn’t recommend zinc. • Exercise. Here’s another reason to work out. Regular moderate exercise seems to invigorate the immune system. While there are abundant health benefits from regular exercise, I’d say the evidence that exercise reduces the number of colds is pretty weak. • Sleep. Your mother was right: Getting a good night’s sleep keeps you healthy and may keep colds away. In one study, people who got less than seven hours of sleep a night were almost three times as likely to get a cold as those who got eight or more hours of sleep. • Probiotics. A study in 2015 reported specific probiotics (lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium) reduced the number of respiratory infections (not just the common cold) and the length of time people were sick. However, the quality of the study was not very good. I know I’m going to get letters from people who swear a vitamin, or an herbal preparation, or zinc works for them. I’m really not disagreeing with them. Studies ask whether a particular treatment works for the average person. A treatment that does not work for the average person still may work for some people; perhaps they have different genes. If you’re convinced a treatment helps you, and if it doesn’t pose any risk (and most of those above don’t), then why not use it? • Write to Dr. Komaroff at www.askdoctork.com or Ask Doctor K, 10 Shattuck St., Second Floor, Boston, MA 02115.

Parents plan to disinherit spendthrift adult children Dear Abby: We have an adult son and daughter who can’t handle money and can’t keep a job. Should we tell them they are not going to inherit everything we have when my wife and I are gone? We have bailed them out of trouble more than once, but they don’t seem to learn. They are in their 30s and 40s, and neither is looking for a job. Anything we left them soon would be squandered, and there are many organizations that could put the money to good use. We would leave them something, but nothing like what they expect. So: Tell them or not? – Perplexed In The South Dear Perplexed: In the back of my mind is echoing the Boy Scout motto, “Be prepared.” You definitely should tell your “children” now, while there’s still time for them to get off their posteriors and start preparing for their financial futures.

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips Dear Abby: I’m a gay teen who wants

to come out and possibly be in a relationship. Many students at school have come out recently, and everyone seems to be embracing our sexual diversity. However, I suspect many of the kids who have come out may have done it to seem “cool” and be popular. I’m not trying to denounce them for who they believe they are, but it seems to be the hot thing at the moment to be bisexual or gay because so many mainstream celebrities have come out of the closet. Because of this, many gay students are being bullied by kids who say they’re only doing it for attention and

popularity. I don’t want to be subjected to the same bullying they are when I really am attracted to the same sex. –

Closeted In Pennsylvania Dear Closeted: If you don’t find it safe

to come out, my advice is to wait. I find it interesting your student body is open to accepting gay and bisexual peers, but would accuse some of them of being “secretly straight.” What a switch! Sexual orientation is a personal thing. No two people are identical in that department. According to sex researcher Alfred Kinsey, sexuality can be measured on a scale from zero (which is exclusively straight) to six (exclusively gay) and everyone is on it somewhere. It’s not for others to declare where anyone else belong. Dear Abby: My husband and I hang out with a group of six couples ranging in age from 24 to 74. One day, when

three of us women went to lunch, I was complaining about the list of things that needed to be fixed in our home. My dear friend came up with a great idea that works very well, and I want to share it. Once a month a couple will host a party at their home. The wives prepare a covered dish and we all bring any sort of beverage we would like, from tea to soft drinks, beer and wine. The men all get to work on the problem until it’s fixed, and then we laugh and eat and drink together. It’s so much fun. We call ourselves ... The “Honey Dew” Gang Dear Gang: I love the concept, which proves not only that “many hands make light work,” but also that honeydew is more than a melon. • Write Dear Abby at www.dearabby. com or P.O.

Mahatma Gandhi said, “Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.” For a bridge player, happiness is when what you think, what you bid, and what you play are in harmony. Average players know the “rules” and follow them without asking themselves if that particular deal is an exception. In today’s layout, many players sitting West would misdefend because they would play first and think second -- and kick themselves third! South is in four spades after the given Stayman auction. West leads the club ace. What should happen after that? Note the bidding. Yes, North, with so many quacks, might have raised one no-trump to three no-trump. But here that contract can be defeated if West guesses to lead the club ace and continue the suit from the top. (None of that fourth-highest rubbish!) However, with an unstopped doubleton, it is sensible for North to use Stayman. Then, when he rebids three no-trump over two hearts, South knows that his partner has four spades and corrects to game in that suit. Many Wests would cash their second club trick, then wonder where to turn. At that point, their best move would be to feign a sudden illness and to flee the premises. When dummy comes down with three hearts, West should realize that his partner must be void in that suit. So, at trick two, West should shift to a heart. East ruffs and returns a club, then receives a second ruff for down one.
