JOLIET – While Will County officials have begun the search process for a firm to design the new Will County Health Department building, department leadership is thinking of what the building will require to serve residents for decades to come.

The Will County Board’s Public Health and Safety Committee met Thursday morning and introduced a few newly elected committee members. But the group wasted no time jumping into discussion about the future of health care in the county as a Republican-majority U.S. Congress and presidential administration have vowed to repeal the Affordable Care Act. Will County Board member Beth Rice, D-Bolingbrook, expressed some concern about the national state of health care reform and how it could affect county health department operations.

Rice, who is new to the committee but has been on the board since 2012, asked

‘‘

I want a functional, low maintenance building that can be flexible to our needs.”

Sue Olenek, Will County Health Department executive director

Will County Health Department Executive Director Sue Olenek what the new building needs.

“I’m really interested in what the people working in public health see as the future of public health,” Rice said. “I’m real interested with the changes in insurance, probably the repeal of the Affordable Care Act, what is the focus of public health, and what does the building need in order to be future-minded?”

Olenek said that for the first time in the health department’s history, it has started a strategic planning process in light of recent legislative changes.

The county always has relied on the Illinois Project for Local Assessment of Need, a five-year plan mandated by the Illinois Department of Public Health,

which has worked “pretty well,” Olenek said.

But it’s difficult to plan when you don’t know what the department will look like in the next five to 20 years, she added.

“The strategic planning process will help us do that,” Olenek said, adding that the Will County Board of Health, the health department’s leadership team and some employees will be involved in the planning effort.

The second part of future success is related to funding, she said.

“If you stabilize funding, you stabilize programs,” Olenek said. “Sometimes that’s easier said than done.”

Olenek said change is the only constant and the department has to be flexible and embrace it, whether or not they like it.

Regarding a new Will County Health Department building, which isn’t expected to open for several years, Olenek said she doesn’t want anything fancy. The department would rather have a structure that helps employees provide services as efficiently as possible. The existing one is breaking down and poorly designed for current needs.

“I want a functional, low maintenance building that can be flexible to our needs,” Olenek said.

Bolingbrook restraint case returns to court Plainfield man back after overturned ’15 conviction

By BRIAN STANLEY

bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A Plainfield man’s statements to police will be kept out of his second trial for allegedly trying to grab two Bolingbrook high school girls off the street in 2013.

Kareem L. Green, 24, returned to Will County court Tuesday after the appellate court last year overturned his 2015 conviction. Judge Dave Carlson ordered Green

held in the Will County jail on $100,000 bond.

On Jan. 29, 2013, a then-16-year-old girl was walking home from school when Green allegedly tried forcing her into his Ford Explorer at Radcliff Drive and Old Stone Road. A passer-by saw the struggle and yelled at Green, who ran away, according to police reports.

Two days later, another then-16-yearold girl walked toward a friend’s apartment building in the 300 block of Woodcreek Drive at the same time as Green.

According to trial testimony, Green came up behind the girl and held one hand over the victim’s mouth while he grabbed her buttocks with the other.

“I believe the evidence rises to the level not just beyond a reasonable doubt but no doubt, based on witness statements and [Green’s] statements,” Carlson said at the trial’s conclusion, and he sentenced Green to six years in prison.

But the appellate court found investigators should have stopped their interview when Green asked, “Is there a way I can get my lawyer while I talk to you?” but also said he would not end the interview.

“Any ambiguity in the defendant’s statement was with regard to whether the defendant could have an attorney present during the interview, not with regard to whether the defendant wanted one,” Justice William Holdridge wrote.

TIF plan aims to ‘save’ neighborhood near Presence Saint Joseph

By BOB OKON

bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Ramona Jarvis’s family has run an answering service business out of an office building on Springfield Avenue for 35 years.

Jarvis is in the process of buying the building and the one next door, putting some confidence in Joliet’s plan for a tax increment financing district that would provide tax incentives to encourage investment in the business neighborhood that surrounds Presence Saint Joseph Medical Center.

“If you drive through the neighborhood, there are umpteen properties looking for tenants,” Jarvis said Thursday.

Her family’s office building is one of them. The building next door is in foreclosure and deteriorating. Jarvis is buying it to preserve her immediate surroundings. But she had considered moving the business elsewhere before deciding to stay.

“I think it’s a neighborhood we can save,” Jarvis said, pointing to new development on nearby Jefferson Street as a sign of improvement.

“In such an area, where you’re tentative about investing at all, to have the city saying we’re willing to help you makes a huge difference. I have a positive mindset.”

Jarvis was one of several speakers this week who were at a public hearing on the proposed TIF district. They urged the City Council to approve the plan when it comes up for a vote at the Jan. 17 council meeting.

A study commissioned by the city found that the equalized assessed value – the value of property assessed for tax purposes – in the TIF area has declined every year from 2010 to 2015.

Hospital upgrades

The EAV in the TIF area has declined as Presence Saint Joseph Medical Center has continually invested in upgrading the hospital campus.

Ed Dollinger, chairman of the board at Presence Saint Joseph Medical Center, told the council that $500 million has been spent in the past decade on new construction and development to upgrade the hospital campus.

A “for lease” sign stands along Republic Avenue on Thursday in Joliet.

“That world-class image is a little hard to imagine in our neighborhood,” Dollinger said.

More is at stake than the hospital’s image, Dollinger said, noting

that about 100 patients a month come to Presence Saint Joseph Medical Center from outside Will County.

“As a result,” he told the council, “our city of Joliet really becomes a

destination point for quality health care.”

Those patients and their visitors often get their impression of the city from their visit to the hospital, he said.

Presence Saint Joseph Medical Center moved into the area in 1964, initiating the development of what has been one of Joliet’s premier professional office areas.

D-205 east campus expansion delayed

By SARWAT S. AHMAD

Shaw Media correspondent Plans to expand Lockport Township High School District 205’s east campus hit a snag as its zoning request to the City Council was tabled because of a previous conflict with the city.

At the City Council’s Committee of the Whole meeting Wednesday night, Alderman Darren Deskin made a motion to table discussion of the district’s special use request and development plans for a new multipurpose facility and additional classrooms at its east campus building.

The motion was passed with Deskin and members Brian Smith and Joanne Bartelsen voting in favor. Jim Petrakos and JR Gillogly voted no, and Jason Vandermeer, Bob Perretta and Kris Capadona were absent.

Deskin objected to the city’s plan to waive building permit fees for the project because of what he said was a “lack of cooperation” on the part of the school district in helping the city pay for a new sidewalk along the south side of 12th Street for students from the high school’s central campus to use

when crossing to its athletic field.

After having received complaints from parents that the crossing was dangerous for students without a sidewalk, the city approached the school board last July to pay 50 percent of the estimated $24,000 cost of a new sidewalk under its 50/50 program (which shares costs with residents), City Administrator Ben Benson said after the meeting.

The board, however, told the city it only would pay 25 percent and wanted the residents to chip in the remainder, Benson said.

The city then abandoned the project because it felt it would be “disingenuous” because it was parents and not residents in the area who requested the sidewalk be built, Benson said.

Minutes from the school board’s July and August meetings show that school board members and Superintendent Todd Wernet did ask the city from the beginning to ask residents to pay “their fair share,” and that Wernet informed the city of the district’s willingness to pay only 25 percent in August.

Deskin said he wanted Wernet or

school board President John Lukasik present at the next Committee of the Whole meeting “to discuss why it is in the city’s best interest to waive any fees due to a lack of cooperation a few months ago.” He later added that he wanted an apology from the school district.

Benson told the committee that the school district did not ask for the building permit fees – which he later said could probably add up to “thousands of dollars” – to be waived. The city is following its precedent of waiving these fees for other governing bodies in the past in the spirit of intergovernmental cooperation, he said.

Bill Thompson, the school district’s director of facilities, told the committee that he could not comment on the sidewalk issue, but District 205 had been cooperative in the past and wants to continue to be “good neighbors.”

Peter Pontarelli, the architect for the project, told the committee that the previous project was a separate issue, and the $9 million expansion project was “time sensitive” and required a quick decision in order to get the construction completed in time for the

next school year.

The school district is planning on building two separate additions to its east campus building. The development plans outline a 7,500-square-foot multipurpose room addition and a separate 19,700-square-foot, 11-classroom wing.

Since 2007, the school has been using six temporary classrooms in a mobile rental unit, which costs the district $48,000 annually, according to the school district’s website.

Mayor Steven Streit told Deskin that his motion seemed “petty” since the issues are separate, but he did not argue against the majority vote to table the discussion.

The two motions will come again to the Committee of the Whole for discussion at its next meeting Jan. 18, and they likely will not be brought to the City Council for a vote until its first February meeting.

District 205 Director of Public Relations Kim Brehm said she was unable to comment on the recent dispute because she had not been able to speak with Wernet because the school has been on winter break.

Developer alters proposed industrial park in Lockport

By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com LOCKPORT – Industrial development company Prologis has adjusted plans for a proposed industrial park in Lockport that caused an uproar from residents in recent weeks, city officials confirmed Thursday.

The proposed industrial park would be just west of Interstate 355 between 151st Street to the south and 143rd Street to the north. It would be bordered to the west by Archer Avenue.

The park would be a bit more than 200 acres, with five buildings that combine to equal more than 2 million square feet of space. The park would have more than 1,300 parking spaces and 500 semitrailer parking spaces, according to the site plans.

While city officials note much of the property eyed for construction has been zoned industrial since the early 1970s, residents fear what has long been a cornfield will turn into an industrial park.

A group created a website, dontdestroylockport.com, to raise awareness about the project. As of Thursday, 2,633 people had signed an online petition against it.

Prologis is proposing an estimated 200-acre industrial park in Lockport just west of Interstate 355.

Big Run Wolf Ranch owner John Basile has come out opposing the park, saying the noise and pollution from truck traffic will threaten the health of his group of rescued wolves, large cats and a bear, and potentially run him out of business.

The updated version of the site plan, set to be presented Tuesday at a Plan-

ning and Zoning Commission meeting at Lockport City Hall, will decrease the size of one of the buildings by 50,000 feet compared with original plans. This would allow it to be pushed back 500 feet from Basile’s property line.

City Administrator Ben Benson said some residents to the south of the development would about be 600 feet away.

Prologis also is proposing to add a 15-foot dirt berm around the south end of the property with an 8-foot cedar fence at the top of it. The company also agreed to add trees and other landscaping touches.

Basile said it seems he probably won’t see the buildings from his property, but he still is concerned what effect the trucking influx will have on his animals.

It’s unclear if the changes will be enough to satisfy all residents. Basile said he’s expecting a packed City Hall at 7 p.m. Tuesday. Benson said the same.

“We are expecting a big crowd,” Benson said. “We’re putting in as much seating as we can.”

Benson and Mayor Steve Streit noted there still are at least three meetings left to determine whether the project is a good one for Lockport. They also want people to know the city isn’t pushing the project – it’s simply accommodating both sides.

The owner of the property and the developer have property rights, and the city has to evaluate the project. That process is not over yet, and residents will be heard at the public hearing, Benson and Streit said.

Suspects in teen abduction case face felony charges Victim’s family speaks to media in Crystal Lake

By KEVIN P. CRAVER

kcraver@shawmedia.com The four people accused of taunting and torturing a mentally ill Crystal Lake man and streaming it on Facebook Live now face multiple felony charges.

Chicago police announced the charges Thursday against the alleged assailants, three of whom are from Chicago and one from Carpentersville, although Carpentersville police dispute that. The two men and two women face multiple felony charges, including hate crime charges – the 18-year-old victim is white, and the four assailants are black.

The Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office charged Jordan Hill, 18, of Carpentersville; Tesfaye Cooper, 18, of Chicago; Brittany Covington, 18, of Chicago; and Tanisha Covington, 24, of Chicago. Besides the hate crime charge, all four face charges of aggravated kidnapping, aggravated unlawful restraint and aggravated battery with a deadly weapon. Cooper and

Brittany Covington also face residential burglary charges, while Hill also faces charges of robbery and possession of a stolen motor vehicle.

The disturbing 30-minute video, which has sparked national outrage, shows the 18-year-old man, who according to police re- Jordan Hill ports suffers from mental illness, cowering in the corner of a room, tied up with his mouth taped shut. In the video, the man is beaten, gets his hair cut with a knife and has ashes from what appear to be cigarettes Tesfaye dumped on him. They Cooper also kick and punch him, at times shouting “f*** white people” and “f*** Donald Trump.” A second online video showed the assailants shoving the victim’s head in a toilet and forcing him to drink from it, after which he was forced to yell obscenities about Trump.

Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson at Thursday’s afternoon news conference announcing the charges condemned the “deplorable

acts” committed by the suspects.

“Let me be very clear – the actions in that video are reprehensible,” Johnson said.

“That, along with racism, have absolutely no place in the city of Chicago, or any place for that matter, regardless of their race, gender, Brittany state of mental health Covington or any other identifying factor.”

Police during the 15-minute conference shed some new light on how the crime unfolded and how the victim was rescued.

Tanisha The victim’s parCovington ents dropped him off on New Year’s Eve at a McDonald’s in Streamwood to meet up with Hill to spend the night. Hill picked him up in a van he had recently stolen, unbeknownst to the victim, to visit with friends, police Cmdr. Kevin Duffin said. Duffin said the victim and Hill knew one another from attending school together in Aurora.

The parents filed a missing person report Monday with the Streamwood Police Department, according to the

report obtained under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act. Streamwood police listed him as endangered because of his mental health history and the fact that he had last taken his medication Saturday.

Hill and the victim ended up Tuesday at the West Side apartment of Brittany and Tanisha Covington, who are sisters. Apparently, a play fight between the victim and Hill got out of control, leading the suspects to get angry and overpower and bind the victim. The assault, part of which was streamed live by the suspects, took place over a six-hour period, Duffin said.

The victim escaped when the sisters went to a downstairs apartment to challenge a neighbor who threatened to call the police because of the noise.

The sisters kicked in the neighbor’s door, prompting the police to be called and the sisters each to be charged with burglary, police said.

Officer Michael Donnelly, one of the police officers responding to the call about 5:15 p.m. Tuesday, said that he noticed the victim and Hill walking down the street and stopped them because the victim was bloodied and

City drops claim its owed $622K in sewer services

By BOB OKON

Joliet has not collected any payments from Greenfield since 2009.

Residents in the area stopped getting billed for sewer services after the last remaining board member of the Greenfield Sanitary District died and the board essentially became defunct.

A new Greenfield board has been formed for the purpose of dissolving the district, which will be done with a court order.

A similar court order was issued Dec. 29 for the South Ridgewood district.

“We really don’t know what kind of condition it’s in. It was built in the late ’80s. The South Ridgewood Sanitary District has never done a comprehensive inspection that we know of.”

JOLIET – The city has taken over the South Ridgewood Sanitary District in lieu of collecting $622,000 in money Joliet claimed it was owed.

Joliet expects to begin billing 146 customers in the sanitary district later this month.

A similar plan is in the works for the Greenfield Sanitary District, which the city claimed owed $197,000.

Both claims were disputed after Joliet gave notice to residents in both areas in May 2015 and June 2015 and threatened litigation after not receiving payments for sewage service for years.

The Joliet City Council on Tuesday approved a resolution taking over the South Ridgewood Sanitary District.

City Attorney Marty Shanahan said the city now is working on a similar arrangement with Greenfield.

“We’re not going to be looking for back payments,” Shanahan said.

Both communities are unincorporated areas bordering Joliet.

The sanitary district systems connect with Joliet sewer lines that carry the sewage to its own treatment plants.

Joliet has not collected any payments from the South Ridgewood Sanitary District since 2004 amid a long-running dispute that had gone to court over how much the district should be paying.

Bills from the city should be going to South Ridgewood customers later this month, Joliet utilities director James Eggen said.

Eggen said the city plans to do an inspection to determine the condition of the system.

“We really don’t know what kind of condition it’s in,” Eggen said. “It was built in the late ’80s. The South Ridgewood Sanitary District has never done a comprehensive inspection that we know of.”

The system has served a section of the Ridgewood area that borders the East Side of Joliet.

Greenfield is an area of about 100 homes on the southeast edge of the city in the area of Rowell Avenue and New Lenox Road.

The classes are offered to one adult and one child at a time. If there is more than one child who fits the age qualifications, a second parent or guardian must attend.

Hitt said the reason the program is restricted to one adult and one child is because of the hands-on nature of the class.

Duffin said the victim has been reunited with his parents.

At a news conference held Thursday in Crystal Lake, the victim’s family said he is doing “as well as he could be at this time.”

“We’re so grateful for all the prayers and efforts that led to the safe return of our brother,” the victim’s brother-in-law, David Boyd, said on behalf of the family. “We are fulDavid Boyd ly aware of the charges being brought against the offenders.”

The family said they had seen the video, and the attack “should never have happened.” They asked for prayers and privacy as they heal.

Johnson said they have statements from all four suspects, and Duffin said they were not apologetic for their actions.

Authorities did not specify at the conference under what grounds the defendants were charged with hate crimes.

Under Illinois law, hate crime charges can be filed not only for attacks based on racial or religious reasons, but also for physical and mental disability.

Likewise, the report filed with Streamwood police stated that Quadcomm, the dispatching agency for Carpentersville, confirmed that the address Hill gave during a previous encounter with Streamwood police does not exist.

All four suspects have 1 p.m. hear-

Facebook has removed the video.

Its community standards forbid the facilitating of criminal activity or celebrating crimes committed by users.

The company removes such content, disables offending accounts and works with law enforcement in cases of “a genuine risk of physical harm or direct threats to public safety.”

The TIF area runs east from Hammes Avenue to Republic Avenue. It stretches north of Jefferson Street to Glenwood Avenue.

Besides the hospital, many of the buildings are office buildings for doctors and medical facilities. Republic Avenue includes a mix of office, industrial and retail businesses.

The EAV of the area has declined from $27.5 million in 2010 to $22 million in 2015, according to a study by S.B. Friedman & Co. The study was done to determine whether the area qualifies for a TIF district.

The area covers 147 acres, seven of which are vacant.

The TIF area includes 75 buildings. Fifty-eight buildings are 35 years or older.

The study found that 81 of 110 parcels showed some sign of deterioration, although that ranged from crumbling stairs and missing gutters to cracks in parking lot paving.

“It’s an older area,” Geoffrey Dickinson of S.B. Friedman said in his presentation of the study to the council last week, “and therefore the city may need to be involved in development through a TIF area.”

cause of this national push? Yeah.”

The Obama administration set a goal in 2010 of ending homelessness among veterans in 2015, and first lady Michelle Obama challenged mayors nationwide to do so in 2014. Although the deadline passed without the goal being met, the U.S. Interagency Council on Homelessness said it won’t rest until every com-

munity has reached the goal.

The nonprofit Community Solutions also ran a campaign to end veteran homelessness by the end of 2015 and chronic homelessness one year later, called “Zero: 2016.” That work continues under a new name, “Built for Zero.”

VA Secretary Robert McDonald called on his agency and its partners

Thursday to house as many veterans as possible in 30 days, saying that homelessness typically increases after the holidays and that winter is a tough time.

Obama’s “audacious” goal galvanized people, McDonald told the AP in an interview. As outreach and data collection improved, he said, officials realized estimates were low.

“I think we’re going to make a big dent this year, and I would say within a couple of years, we should be there,” McDonald said.

The number of homeless veterans nationwide is down 47 percent, or about 35,000 people, since 2010, but there still are about 40,000 more, HUD said in August.

To get homeless veterans into permanent homes, the Obama administration used a program that was created in 2008 and combines rental assistance from HUD with case management and clinical services from the VA. Nearly 90,000 so-called HUD-VASH vouchers have been awarded, with $635 million appropriated for vouchers from 2008 to 2016. Many places were able to house most of their homeless veterans, but vouchers became harder to use as the housing market tightened.

In Chicago, nearly 3,000 homeless veterans have been housed since January 2015, leaving slightly fewer than 650 awaiting housing, according to the nonprofit All Chicago.

By JENNIFER McDERMOTT The Associated Press

PROVIDENCE, R.I. – Pledges by President Barack Obama and a national nonprofit organization to end homelessness among veterans did not meet their goal. But advocates see improvement, and the head of the Department of Veterans Affairs said Thursday that “we should be there” within a couple of years.

Homelessness among veterans has been effectively ended in Virginia, Connecticut and Delaware and in about 35 communities, according to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. But many veterans still sleep on the streets elsewhere.

Still, as Obama’s term ends, advocates call the national push a success because many veterans did get homes, and the ambitious goal created urgency. About two dozen nonprofits, government officials and homeless veterans in 17 states and Washington spoke with The Associated Press about the effectiveness of the effort and the challenges they faced.

“It has been the best kind of failure I’ve experienced,” said Chris Ko, director of homeless initiatives for the United Way of Greater Los Angeles. “It’s black and white. Did we reach it? No. Did we succeed in the broader effort?

News from across the state Medical group requires up-front fees from workers

SPRINGFIELD – A Springfield medical group is requiring patients insured by the state to pay half of their expected surgery bills up front.

The requirement from the Orthopedic Center of Illinois comes at a time when payments to all providers for the care of state workers, retirees and dependents insured through the State Employees’ Group Insurance Program total $3.66 billion. Those payments are overdue a year and a half or more, the State Journal-Register reported.

The delays have grown amid the lack of a permanent state budget, as Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner and the Democrat-

National Guard soldiers return from Afghanistan

SPRINGFIELD – About 30 Illinois Army National Guard members who served in Afghanistan during the past year have returned home during the past few weeks.

Officials said members of the 233rd Military Police Company based in Springfield came home after completing a post-mobilization program at Fort Bliss, Texas.

The soldiers were mobilized in January 2016 as part of a personal security detail.

The 233rd was responsible for escorting general officers, VIPs, U.S. and foreign dignitaries, advisers and NATO officials throughout Kabul and the region.

They also guarded the U.S. Embassy and the U.S. military base.

Nine of the soldiers were awarded the Bronze Star. One was given the Meritorious Service Medal. Nineteen received the

The Illinois Democrat spoke to reporters after Wednesday’s meeting in Washington, D.C., with Sen. Jeff Sessions, a Republican from Alabama.

Durbin said he sought assurances that if Sessions is confirmed as U.S. attorney general, he would address problems identified by the department.

The department launched its investigation into police practices after a video showed a white officer fatally shooting black teen Laquan McDonald 16 times. The video prompted protests and demands for reforms.

The report is expected to be released

U of I employees to get 2 percent midyear raises

URBANA – University of Illinois employees will receive a 2 percent raise in March after the school had to put pay increases on hold for the past two years.

The (Champaign) News-Gazette reported that a school spokesman said the raises will take effect in February and the money will show up in March paychecks.

University President Tim Killeen put general raises on hold for a second-straight year last summer because of the state budget impasse. But Killeen said he was optimistic the school could provide a midyear raise by making cuts elsewhere.

Killeen said most of the money to fund the raises will come from about 500 positions that haven’t been refilled over the past year. UI officials said the 2 percent raise will cost about $33 million a year.

Trump using name-calling on members of Congress

WASHINGTON – President-elect Donald Trump is shifting the name-calling that helped drive his campaign victories over “lyin,’” “low energy” and “crooked” opponents to the legislative arena, where he’s now mocking Democrats as “clowns” trying to escape blame for a troubled health care law.

National intelligence chief: No doubt Russia interfered in election The ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON – Brushing aside Donald Trump’s dismissiveness, the nation’s intelligence chief insisted Thursday that U.S. agencies are more confident than ever that Russia interfered in America’s recent presidential election. And he called the former Cold War foe an “existential threat” to the nation.

Did Russian hacking sway the results? There’s no way for U.S. agencies to know, said James Clapper, the director of national intelligence.

Asked about the possible effect of the disclosure of private information stolen by hackers, Clapper said, “The intelligence community can’t gauge the impact it had on the choices the electorate made.” But he did say Russian hacking “did not change any vote tallies.”

Clapper’s testimony to the Senate Armed Services Committee was short on concrete evidence of Russian activities, but it raised the stakes in the intelligence community’s standoff with Trump. Clapper indicated the agencies he leads would not back down in their assessment, even if that threatens a prolonged crisis of confidence with their next commander in chief.

That puts the pressure back on Trump, who has raised the possibility of more positive relations with Russia and has repeatedly disparaged the U.S. intelligence agencies. He will be briefed Friday on the classified evidence concerning Russian interference.

Shortly after Thursday’s hearing, news leaked that Trump would soon name former Republican Sen. Dan Coats of Indiana to replace Clapper after the new president takes office.

The intelligence agencies’

Director of National Intelligence James Clapper testifies Thursday before the Senate Armed Services Committee on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C. classified report, which was shared with President Barack Obama on Thursday, identifies multiple motives for Russia’s interference, Clapper said, but he did not provide details.

In a joint report that roiled the presidential campaign last fall, the Homeland Security Department and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence said the U.S. was confident about foreign meddling, including Russia’s hacking of Democratic emails.

“We stand actually more resolutely on the strength of that statement,” Clapper said Thursday. He declined to discuss whether Russia’s interference was aimed at helping Trump win.

An unclassified version of the report will be released next week, Clapper said. That version, expected to be a fraction of the length of the classified one, is not likely to answer all the questions about Russia’s actions. Exactly how the U.S. monitors its adversaries in cyberspace is a closely guarded secret, since revealing such details could help foreign governments further obscure

their activities.

“I think the public should know as much about this as possible,” Clapper told the senators. “And so we’ll be as forthcoming as we can, but there are some sensitive and fragile sources and methods here.”

Clapper was less shy about declaring Russia “an existential threat to the United States.” That’s strong rhetoric that harkens back to the Cold War between the U.S. and Soviet Union, language Obama has avoided. For his part, Trump has embraced the possibility of warmer U.S.-Russian ties.

Republican John McCain of Arizona, chairman of the Senate panel, pressed Clapper as to whether Russia’s actions constituted an “act of war.”

The intelligence director said that was “a very heavy policy call,” more appropriate for others in the government to decide.

Obama announced sanctions against Russia late last year, a move Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina said was akin to throwing a pebble.

“I’m ready to throw a rock,” Graham said.

Duckworth takes office

The Land of Lincoln got a new U.S. senator this week; best of luck Illinoisans got a new U.S. senator Tuesday.

That’s when Tammy Duckworth, 48, a Hoffman Estates Democrat, was sworn in to succeed one-term Republican U.S. Sen. Mark Kirk.

Duckworth is a war hero who has overcome the loss of two legs from combat injuries in Iraq in 2004 to continue serving the public, first in an appointive governmental capacity, and later as a member of the U.S. House from suburban Chicago.

That region is For the record where Duckworth is better known.

We encourage Sen. Tammy In downstate rural sections of the state, Duckworth to listen to her constituents and represent the she might not be so needs of all Illinoisans, regardwell known.

We encourage her less of party or region. to alleviate that deficiency by reaching out to her new constituents, listening to them, and representing the needs of all Illinoisans, regardless of party or region, to the best of her ability.

The seat she now holds has turned over more frequently than the seat that longtime U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Springfield, holds.

Tammy In fact, Duckworth is the 10th Duckworth person to hold it since 1951, when Everett McKinley Dirksen was first sworn in.

Upon Dirksen’s death in 1969, Ralph Tyler Smith was named to the Senate seat.

Following Smith were Adlai E. Stevenson III (1970), Alan J. Dixon (1981), Carol Moseley Braun (1993), Peter Fitzgerald (1999), Barack Obama (2005), Roland Burris (2009) and Mark Kirk (2010).

By comparison, Durbin’s seat has had relatively little turnover; only four people – Paul Douglas, Charles Percy, Paul Simon and Durbin – have held it since 1949.

Now it’s Duckworth’s turn to represent Illinoisans to the best of her ability in the U.S. Senate. We wish her good luck.

During the long nights of winter, it is very important to keep Collins and our busy commercial streets lit to deter crime.

Recently, during the day, there was a shooting on Collins Street. I would hate for someone with bad intentions to feel emboldened by the darkness and hurt the innocent due to lack of light on Collins Street at night.

The businesses along that stretch of Collins would appreciate the lights turned on, too, and the residents that live in the area.

Collins Street was recently added

to the Downtown Special Service Area, and if we are to be looked at and taxed as downtown, we must always have working lights and lit like downtown. Turn on Collins Street!

WRESTLING: PLAINFIELD CENTRAL 39, JOLIET WEST 22

SENIOR SUCCESS

Plainfield Central 20-1 overall, 6-0 in SPC

By CURT HERRON

cherron@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – Plainfield Central’s wrestling team last won a conference title in 2012, which also is its lone league championship since 2003.

Two-thirds of the way through the Southwest Prairie Conference season, the Wildcats are putting themselves in a good position to not only end that streak but also finish with one of the best dual meet records in school history.

Central improved to 20-1 overall and 6-0 in the SPC after capturing a 39-22 home victory over Joliet West on Thursday.

Coach Ryan West’s Wildcats have lost only one dual meet, which was against Moline in the semifinals of last week’s Flavin Invite in DeKalb, where they took third place. They are tied for the SPC lead with 6-0 Oswego.

The two teams meet Jan. 25 in Oswego.

The Tigers grabbed a 16-6 advantage four matches into the meet and only trailed 24-22 with four matches remaining before the Wildcats, who are ranked 20th in Class 3A by Illinois Matmen, closed things out with four straight victories.

“It’s exciting to have a chance, but we are not looking ahead to Oswego,” West said. “We have a lot to improve on between now and the end of the season. In the conference duals, we knew coming into tonight that this one could go down to the wire. You can’t overlook anybody in the conference, period. If you don’t come out and perform, you can be beat.

22 MEN’S BASKETBALL: CALUMET COLLEGE 83, UNIVERSITY OF ST. FRANCIS 78

Saints rally late but come up short

By DICK GOSS

dgoss@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The University of St. Francis men’s basketball team knew it was in for a battle Thursday night when Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference foe Calumet College of St. Joseph came calling at the Sullivan Center.

Unfortunately for the Saints, they suffered through a lull midway through the second half, fell behind by 13 points and then staged a late rally that fell short as the Crimson Wave prevailed, 83-78.

USF (11-6, 5-3) entered on a fivegame winning streak and was the leader in the CCAC South Division by a game over Indiana South Bend.

However, CCSJ (8-7, 5-4) won its fifth straight and is a different team now that it has regained the services of senior guard Johnny Baldwin for the second semester.

“They didn’t have Baldwin when they were losing games early,” USF coach Ryan Marks said. “He is as good as any guard in our league. Now that they have him, I would put them up against anyone in the league.”

Baldwin finished with 12 points and was one of four of the Crimson Wave in double figures.

The game was tight most of the way as Calumet St. Joseph led, 38-37, at halftime. Jean Pietrak hit a layup off an assist from Jake Raspopovich to give the Saints a 48-47 lead, and Raspopovich’s driving layup at the 16:07 mark put USF on top, 50-49.

However, it was at that point where the Crimson Wave embarked on a 20-6 run to take a 69-56 lead with 8:14 remaining, a lead that proved insurmountable.

“I thought they played a more complete game than we did,” Marks said. “They were the aggressor on defense. They put us back on our heels and had us out of sync.”

Calumet St. Joseph built its lead largely by beating the Saints down the floor and crashing the offensive boards.

“What happened was we had a little frustration on the offensive end, and that carried over to the defensive end,” Marks said. “We did not make a full commitment to get back on the defensive end, and they did a great job exploiting it.”

Marks said what afflicted the Saints is what Bulls coach Fred Hoiberg has been talking about for a couple of weeks.

“I don’t care what level of basketball it is, you have to play transition

defense,” he said. “Hoiberg’s been talking about that. We didn’t do it for that stretch in the second half.”

USF finished shooting 44.8 percent on 30 of 67, while Calumet St. Joseph closed at .472 on 34 of 72. The Saints were only 5 of 23 from 3-point range,

while the Crimson Wave hit 8 of 24.

Logan Timmons grabbed 13 rebounds, and Pietrzak chipped in six to help USF to a 39-37 edge on the boards.

Iain Morison led all scorers with 19 points, Pietrzak chipped in 12,

Landus Anderson 10 and Jo Jo Ballestero nine. Ballestero scored seven points in rapid succession late in the first half as the Saints narrowed a 3226 deficit to 38-37 at the break.

USF’s big rally late in the game began when Ballestero converted a circus layup off a drive to make it 7969 with 3:13 left. Morison had a traditional three-point play with 2:42 to go and Pietrzak scored off a Raspopovich feed to slice the deficit to 79-74 at the 2:10 mark.

Timmons then stepped up with a steal at midcourt, and he was fouled heading to the basket. He hit both free throws to make it 79-76 with 1:54 left.

The Saints regained possession and got the ball inside to Morison, but he was called for traveling with 1:25 to go. The Crimson Wave again failed to score, and Morison’s rebound bucked at 0:21 made it 79-78.

Tyler Gaedele, who led the visitors with 15 points, made two free throws with 15 seconds remaining, and Ballestero’s off-balance 3-point try to tie it misfired in the closing seconds.

Two more Calumet St. Joseph foul shots with less than a second left accounted for the final score.

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL: UNIVERSITY OF ST. FRANCIS 97, CALUMET COLLEGE 43

By DICK GOSS

dgoss@shawmedia.com

• Friday, January 6, 2017

JOLIET – For the short amount of time University of St. Francis senior guard Angelica Osusky was on the floor of the Sullivan Center on Thursday night, she demonstrated some of what has made her so valuable in Samantha Quigley-Smith’s program.

The Saints (15-0, 8-0), ranked No. 1 in the nation, ran away from winless Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference foe Calumet College of St. Joseph, 97-43, Thursday night.

Osusky and the other usual starters received more than their usual amount of rest as Quigley-Smith was able to substitute liberally. In fact, the Saints’ leading scorer and rebounder, Charnelle Reed, did not dress as she rested a sore shoulder in anticipation of Saturday’s CCAC battle at Xavier.

Reed is averaging 15.4 points, and Christina Ekhomu, Jordan Giddings and Kamari Jordan also are in double figures. Osusky is No. 6 on the scoring list with a 5.1 average. However, her value goes well beyond her own points.

“Angelica came to us from a great high school program,” Quigley-Smith said of Romeoville, which is coached

by St. Francis alumnus Julio Carrasco. “She had great coaching before she got here.

“But she has improved her game by a hundred times here. She doesn’t score a lot. She has improved her shooting, but it’s the work ethic she has on defense, that’s where she has done so much for us.”

Quigley-Smith noted Osusky guarded Lewis All-American Johnson earlier this season “and did a great job. She held her below her average. The thing you notice is the great guards Angelica goes against get some points, but nobody shoots well against her.

“I thinks she exhausts the people she guards. She probably exhausts herself, too, but you never see that. It’s so nice to be so confident going into games that she is going to guard the best guard.”

“I love the defensive part of the game, being able to guard the best player and help the team stop the best player,” Osusky said.

Of course, on a team as balanced as the Saints, Osusky is only one piece of the puzzle.

“Charnelle [Reed], Kamiri [Jordan] and Jordan [Giddings] would not be the players they are without other people guarding them hard in practice very day. This is our 15th game, and we’ve had a lot more practices – I

think the last one was our 63rd. I am a huge advocate of the importance of practice, and our girls practice well.”

Count Osusky among that group.

“Angelica is a great example to our younger players,” Quigley-Smith said.

“In the past, you could see she was a little frustrated if she wasn’t playing as much as she wanted. So she did

something about it. She will do that something extra and find a way to put herself on the floor.”

Osusky finished with two points, two assists and three steals in 10 minutes Thursday against Calumet (0-18, 0-9).

All 15 Saints scored. Among them was freshman Ashley Hare (Joliet Cen-

tral), who hit 4 of 5 from three-point range – without touching the rim – for her first 12 points of the season. Freshman Allee Hernandez (Providence) scored her first six points and dished out four assists.

“The girls were asking me why I was so happy tonight,” Osusky said.

“It was because everyone got to play and contribute. I love seeing some of the others able to contribute. Freshman year can be a tough year. For girls like Ashley and Allee to be able to contribute is huge.”

Madi Canady hit 4 of 6 3-pointers and led the Saints with 16 points. After Hare’s 12 came Trish Stritzel and Nichole Davidson with 10, Kaitlyn Aylward eight, Christina Ekhomu seven and Hernandez and Cody Brand six. Brand and Aylward grabbed seven rebounds apiece, Ekhomu, Brand and Canady joined Hernandez with four assists, and Mary Rouse (Joliet Catholic) and Jordan matched Osusky’s three steals.

All of that helped put the Saints, who led, 50-20, at halftime, in a positive frame of mind with Saint Xavier up next.

“I’m looking forward to Saturday,” Osusky said. “It’s a huge game. We’re all pumped up.”

Pace still should give Bears fans confidence Another good offseason

by Pace could mean big improvement for Bears BEARS INSIDER Hub Arkush When an NFL club goes 3-13 after a 6-10 season, it is easy to scream for the heads of everyone in charge.

But is it fair, is it wise and is it the best course of action for the football team?

Let’s be honest, it’s the easy way to go. If the Bears mess the bed again in 2017, you can crow about being right and you most likely will get your wish at the end of the season. If you’re wrong, everyone will be so happy you won’t have to hear about it too much, anyway.

It is tougher to find reasons to stay the course, be patient and support the plan.

If you’re right, nobody’s going to pat you on the back, and you’ll just get grief for feeling the need to remind people if you go that route, and if you’re wrong, you never will hear the end of it.

Nonetheless, I attended Wednesday’s news conference prepared to tout the status quo and looking for reasons to believe, and I now am prepared to spend the next 12 months living out on that limb.

I like most of what general manager Ryan Pace has done so far.

Let’s start with the false premise the Bears are no better off than they

AP photo

Bears general manager Ryan Pace (right) and coach John Fox talk to reporters during an end-of-season news conference Wednesday in Lake Forest. were when Pace and coach John Fox arrived two years ago.

The team was the laughingstock of the NFL, and time spent in the locker room was about as desirable as invites to Donald Trump’s inauguration appear to be to A-list celebs.

(Please save your angry retorts. I’m not offering any political commentary.

The facts are they apparently can’t get any of the “Hot 100” to come.)

At the end of the 2014 season, the only young players on the Bears roster worth keeping were Kyle Long, Alshon Jeffery and Kyle Fuller.

Josh Bellamy, Ka’Deem Carey, Ego Ferguson, Lamarr Houston, Demontre Hurst, Christian Jones, Charles Leno, Zach Miller, Patrick O’Donnell, Will Sutton, Cornelius Washington, Mar-

quess Wilson and Willie Young were here, too, but other than Young and O’Donnell, how many are likely to be here much longer, and how much does it matter?

Conversely, Jordan Howard, Jeremy Langford, Cameron Meredith, Bobby Massie, Cody Whitehair, Josh Sitton, Eddie Goldman, Akiem Hicks, Jerrell Freeman, Danny Trevathan, Leonard Floyd, Nick Kwiatkosk and Tracy Porter all offer the promise of players you can build a winner around, and Kevin White, Jonathan Bullard, Deiondre’ Hall, Bryce Callahan and Deon Bush just might, too.

We still are two years away from evaluating Pace the drafter, but I like the early returns and am very impressed with the measured approach

he has taken toward free agency.

The evaluation of Fox must be different.

We know he can rebuild a team and take it to a Super Bowl. He has done it before, but he has given us great doubt about his chops on offense and clock and game management skills.

Here is the question I would ask about Fox: Although injuries are not an excuse, tell me what coach would have won more than three, maybe four games this season with the squad the Bears were forced to field because of those injuries?

This always was going to be a threeyear rebuild. Those who believed otherwise were kidding themselves.

Fox may forever choose not to answer our questions, but I don’t see how that is grounds for dismissal.

If not great, he is a quality football coach who deserves at least the third year of the four he was promised when he was brought in to fix what was more than broken. It was trashed.

I think he is too smart to just allow offensive coordinator Dowell Loggains to misuse his ground game again next year regardless of what he’s telling us, and what other fireable offenses are you accusing him of?

With another good offseason from Pace and reasonable health, which of course I can’t predict, I expect these Bears to win eight, maybe even nine or 10 games, next season.

I’m on the limb, tenuous as it might be, so try to snap it if you must, but we’ll talk about it next year.

Giants-Packers playoffs lore is more than red-faced Coughlin

By TOM CANAVAN The Associated Press

EAST RUTHERFORD, New Jersey – There’s a lot more to the playoff history between the Giants and Packers than a scarlet-faced Tom Coughlin standing on a frigid sideline on Jan. 20, 2008, in Green Bay, Wisconsin, in New York’s numbing overtime win in the NFC Championship game.

The win in temperatures that felt like minus-23 with the wind-chill factor catapulted the Giants to their third Super Bowl title two weeks later. A fourth would follow after the 2011 season, with New York again stunning

the Lambeau Field faithful with a 37-20 win in a second-round playoff game over a Packers team that went 15-1 in the regular season.

That’s recent history. The postseason story between two of the NFL’s oldest franchises dates to 1938, and the annals of the seven playoff games between them is rich.

The playoff rivalry will resume Sunday when the Giants (11-5) and the NFC North champion Packers (10-6) meet in a wild-card game at Lambeau Field.

For the record, the Packers have a 4-3 edge in playoff games.

The Giants won the first one and

the NFL title in 1938, beating the Packers, 23-17. The Packers would win the next four games and NFL championships in 1939, ’44, ’61 and ’62.

You know about the last two. The first five were interesting, too. Even some of the sites were not what you would expect with games at the Polo Grounds (’38 and ’44) and Yankee Stadium (’62) in New York, State Fair Park in Milwaukee in 1938, City Stadium in 1961, which was renamed Lambeau Field in 1965.

The players and coaches who competed in those games are a Who’s Who? of some of the greatest names in football.

Start with the Packers coaches: Earl “Curly” Lambeau – you know, Lambeau Field – and Vince Lombardi, the guy who the Super Bowl Trophy is named after. The players included more than a dozen Hall of Famers led by Don Hutson, Bart Starr, Ray Nitschke, Paul Hornung, Herb Adderley and Willie Davis.

Hall of Fame coach Steve Owen guided the Giants in those early playoff games for the Mara family, while the players included Hall of Famers Mel Hein and Tuffy Leemans in the ’30s and ’40s and Frank Gifford, Andy Robustelli, Sam Huff and Y.A. Tittle in the early ’60s.

CHICAGO – Patrick Kane scored 56 seconds into overtime, Artem Anisimov had two goals and the Blackhawks beat the Buffalo Sabres, 4-3, on Thursday night.

Jonathan Toews set up Kane’s 12th goal when he forced Anders Nilsson to make a left pad save. The rebound went right to Kane, who knocked it into the open side of net before Nilsson could recover.

Ryan Hartman also scored for the Hawks, who had dropped five of six.

Kane also had two assists against his hometown team, and Corey Crawford made 17 stops in the Hawks 10th consecutive victory against Buffalo.

“Nothing better than beating Buffalo, right?” a grinning Kane said as he addressed the crowd after the game.

Kyle Okposo had a goal and an assist for the Sabres, and Ryan O’Reilly had two assists in his return from an appendectomy. Jack Eichel also scored, and Nilsson finished with 39 stops.

The game was tied at 2 when O’Reil-

ly found Eichel for a one-timer from the left circle at 1:10 in the third. It was Buffalo’s second power-play goal in three opportunities and Eichel’s eighth goal in 17 games this season.

The Sabres then kept the action away from Nilsson for much of the third. The Hawks finally broke through when Kane got a backhander to the net and Anisimov knocked in the rebound with 2:04 remaining in regulation.

Buffalo also jumped in front in each of the first two periods, only to have the Hawks rally each time.

Marcus Foligno intercepted a clearing attempt by Hawks’ defenseman Brent Seabrook in the first and beat Crawford on the glove side for his sixth of the season at 7:21.

But Hartman responded for the Hawks, splitting Okposo and Sabres defenseman Taylor Fedun before sending a hard wrist shot over Nilsson’s glove at 16:20.

The Hawks outshot Buffalo 20-6 in the first, but Hartman’s seventh of the season was all it could manage against Nilsson.

Pressure on Minnesota AD after firing coach

By JON KRAWCZYNSKI The Associated Press

MINNEAPOLIS – At the end of an hours-long meeting with Minnesota President Eric Kaler and athletic director Mark Coyle, university Board of Regents Chairman Dean Johnson excused himself from the room for a drink of water and a head-clearing walk down the hall.

Coyle was recommending to a group of board members and the school’s general counsel that football coach Tracy Claeys be fired after the program became embroiled in a standoff over the school’s suspension of 10 players in connection with a sexual assault investigation.

“With a pit in my stomach and a tear in my eye, I got up and walked down the hall for a while to think about it,” Johnson told The Associated Press on Wednesday, one day after Claeys was fired. “When you hire your administration, you give them that authority. That’s what they wanted to do, and that’s what the decision was.”

Coyle’s decision earned praise from some at the university who saw it as a sign the administration was stand-

ing up for victims of sexual assault. It also drew criticism from players, donors and former coach Jerry Kill, still a wildly popular figure among sports backers in the area, and has put an athletic director who was hired only six months ago right in the pressure cooker as he looks for a replacement.

“When you’re dealing with somebody that you like in a program that has shown some Tracy Claeys improvement, you want to say, ‘Are we sure we’re doing the right thing?’ ” Johnson said, referring to Claeys. “Which I did. But if you go against the people you’ve hired, they lose confidence in you as well.”

While Western Michigan’s P.J. Fleck, Boise State’s Bryan Harsin and former LSU coach Les Miles have been among the many names mentioned for the job, at least one already has rebuffed the Golden Gophers. Minnesota reached out to representatives for Penn State offensive coordinator Joe Moorhead, but was told that he was not interested in the position, two people with knowledge of the situation

told The AP on Wednesday night. The people spoke on the condition of anonymity because Minnesota was not publicly commenting on its search.

Moorhead is a former head coach at Fordham who just finished his first season as offensive coordinator at Penn State, where he helped the Nittany Lions go 11-3 and reach the Rose Bowl.

Johnson called Claeys, who led the Gophers to 9-4 record in his only full season as coach, “an upstanding man, an honorable person” and said “from a human standpoint, it doesn’t feel very good.”

But Coyle pushed for the move after the team threatened to boycott the Holiday Bowl when the university suspended 10 players for their alleged involvement in a case where a woman said multiple players pressured her into having sex. Hennepin County authorities twice declined to press charges citing a lack of evidence, but the school has a lower standard of proof and decided to suspend the players.

Claeys publicly backed the players’ stand, putting him at odds with Kaler and Coyle. And Coyle said on Tuesday

that he made the move “to find a coach that shares that commitment to excellence academically, athletically and socially.”

Johnson said Coyle cited the program’s poor performance in recruiting rankings and a dwindling season-ticket base as two primary reasons to fire Claeys, although the ticket issue was also because in part to former AD Norwood Teague’s decision to drastically increase ticket prices for the 2016 season.

Current players and alumni as notable as former All-American safety Tyrone Carter assailed the decision.

And Kill, who was forced to retire in 2015 because of health reasons and handed the job to longtime assistant Claeys, told 1500 ESPN radio that he was furious with Coyle’s assertion that program was in need of “integrity and class.”

“I won’t be stepping foot back in the stadium,” Kill said. “And I won’t be stepping back into the university.”

Coyle said he was aware of some of the hard feelings that his decision has brought on, and he was determined to find a new coach who can help heal the wounds that were opened.

Washington receiver John Ross (1) is tackled by Alabama defensive lineman Dalvin Tomlinson (54) and linebacker Reuben Foster (10) during the Peach Bowl on Saturday in Atlanta. tionist Amy Bragg. Bragg would send him daily text messages and gave him a list of things not to eat, but she also took a more hands-on role during some mealtimes.

“She’d fix my plate for me,” Foster said. “She knows I’m a momma’s boy.

If I fix my plate, I won’t eat it. But if she fixes up my plate, she’ll fix it up nice.”

He has followed in a succession of star middle linebackers from Rolando McClain and Dont’a Hightower to C.J. Mosley and Reggie Ragland,

three NFL first-round picks and a second-rounder.

Foster returned for his senior season with designs on graduating – he got his degree in December – along with improving on the field and becoming a first-round pick. Now, he’s regarded as a likely high first-rounder who figures to go 3 for 3 in checking off those goals.

“It’s a great feeling,” he said. “I never knew that a middle linebacker can be in that conversation. (Top 5) that’s outstanding. I’m blessed. It’s crazy. I still think about it and I still don’t believe it.”

Foster played a big role in probably Alabama’s biggest play in the 24-7 semifinal victory over Washington. He was closing in on Huskies quarterback Jake Browning, whose swiftly unloaded pass was picked off and returned for a touchdown by Ryan Anderson.

The oft-smiling Foster is also one of the team’s more popular players, wellliked by teammates and defensive coordinator Jeremy Pruitt.

“Because he’s real,” Pruitt said.

“What you see is what you get. He’s my kind of guy. I like Reuben a lot.

If he tells you he’s going to do something, he’s going to do it.”

TUSCALOOSA, Alabama – Reuben Foster arrived at Alabama as a coveted prospect with an Auburn tattoo.

He’ll leave having made another kind of mark.

The top-ranked Crimson Tide middle linebacker worked his way up gradually from hard-hitting special teamer to starting inside linebacker and now to a unanimous All-American, Butkus Award winner and highly regarded NFL prospect.

It’s not the easiest or quickest path to stardom for one of the nation’s top recruits, who has become one of the Tide’s biggest stars heading into Monday night’s national championship game against No. 3 Clemson in Tampa, Florida.

Even his own teammates seem impressed by the hard-hitting Foster, whose 103 tackles is 27 more than anybody else on the nation’s top defense.

“A true beast,” said Alabama receiver Calvin Ridley, adding that he wouldn’t want to get hit by him.

“Everybody’s running to the ball but you just see him like flying past everybody,” defensive tackle Da’Ron

Payne said.

Foster had to battle his way to this point after arriving from Auburn High School, where he had once committed to Tide rival Auburn.

He had the Auburn tattoo on his right forearm changed to honor his cousin, former Auburn player Ladarious Phillips, who died after being shot at an off-campus apartment.

Predictably, the college switch drew some heat from folks in Auburn, especially when it took Foster two seasons to work his way into the starting lineup. Now, he’s the primary play caller and joins defensive end Jonathan Allen as Alabama’s biggest defensive stars.

Foster said he got serious about mastering the defense after joining the fraternity Omega Psi Phi in 2015.

“Everything changed when I pledged Omega,” Foster said. “I had to learn about all the history of Omega Psi Phi. I was like, ‘Dang, I’m learning all this but I can’t learn this defense.’ I said I might as well go ahead and take the chance and really learn this, the ins and outs of the defense.”

The 6-foot-1, 225-pounder also dropped some 20 pounds during the offseason with the help of team nutri-

CLEVELAND – With his family watching proudly, Edwin Encarnacion stood in front of his new locker inside Cleveland’s clubhouse, pulled on a fitted cap and slowly buttoned the front of his white No. 10 jersey.

Once finished, he pointed to the “Indians” logo on his chest and flashed a huge smile as cameras clicked.

It felt seamless.

“He’s a perfect fit for our team,” Indians president Chris Antonetti said Thursday.

In so many ways.

The Indians, accustomed to being outspent for high-priced free agents winter after winter, introduced Encarnacion, a premium player for the middle of their lineup who will boost attendance and maybe help them win the World Series.

One of baseball’s most productive hitters over the past five years, Encarnacion finalized a $60 million, three-year contract – the richest in Cleveland history – with a team that got to Game 7 of the Series last season.

Encarnacion’s deal would be worth $80 million over four years if the Indians exercise a $25 million option for 2020 that includes a $5 million buyout. There also are attendances bonuses built in as both the Indians and Encarnacion’s agent, Paul Kinzer, recognized the threetime All-Star’s ability to spin turnstiles.

CHICAGO – The Cubs would like to host a bowl game at Wrigley Field.

President of Business Operations Crane Kenney told the Chicago Tribune the team intends to start hosting a bowl game after the ongoing overhaul to the 103-year old ballpark is completed.

They would need a few years to find title sponsors and align with conferences.

Wrigley Field was the longtime home of the Bears before they moved to Soldier Field. More recently, Northwestern met Illinois there in 2010.

Kenney told the Tribune the Wildcats will play again at Wrigley, as soon as November 2020.

After that, they likely will return with games spread over the next few years.

Where doctors cure with magic wands Justin Marchert’s ‘Fantasy Hospital’ web series features veteran actors

By DENISE M. BARAN–UNLAND dunland@shawmedia.com

NEW LENOX – Once upon a time in New Lenox lived a young journalist named Justin Marchert, who discovered he preferred acting to reporting.

So Marchert moved to Los Angeles in 2004, when he met indepenJustin dent filmmakers and Marchert other actors. Now, since Marchert always liked “doodling silly stuff,” he decided to create his own animated web series – “Fantasy Hospital.”

The short summary, according to Marchert, an independent animator and entertainer for children’s parties, is “ ‘Scrubs’ meet ‘The Simpsons’ meet ‘Harry Potter.’ ” The main character?

“A medical school dropout named Dr. Max Tuduski,” Marchert said.

Think Philip J. Fry from the animated sitcom “Futurama.”

Of course, fantasy beings staff “Fantasy Hospital,” the place where dwarfs, giants, fairies and wizard doctors cure magical maladies. But real veteran actors voice these creatures – actors such

• Dr. Drexel Bonaventure, reformed evil wizard – Pete Holmes (HBO’s upcoming “Crashing”) • Nurse Misty Windham, erratic elf – Emma Caulfield (“Once Upon a Time,” “Buffy the Vampire Slayer”) • Nickleby, hospital fairy – Pauley Perrette (“NCIS”) • Giant Dr. Pakij, ogre gynecologist – Kunal Nayyar (“The Big Bang Theory”) • The High Wizard – Wil Wheaton (“Star Trek: The Next Generation,” “Stand By Me”) • The centaur Hunter, quadramedic – Jonah Ray (“Hidden America,” “MST3K,” The Meltdown,” ”Nerdist”) • Dwarf Chief of Staff Kuckles – Robin Dearden (“Last Chance”) • Dr. Max Tuduski – Justin Marchert (“The Summer of Massacre”) Guest Voices: • Fresa, Hoofington, etc. – Janet Varney (“Legend of Korra”) • Lord Windham – Joe Penna (YouTube’s “MysteryGuitarMan”) • Lady Gooseberry – Alison Rosen (“The Adam Carolla Show”) • Berry King – Bill Ratner (G.I. Joe, animated) • Dr. Tuduski – Marek Probosz (“Helter Skelter”)

as Pete Holmes, Jonah Ray, Pauley Perrette, Wil Wheaton and Emma Caulfield – whom Marchert met through networking in Los Angeles.

Other cast members include Jim Marchert – Justin’s father, a professional and community theater actor – as the Steampunk Inspector Badger and Justin’s friend, Nathan Baker of Los Angeles, who plays a character – Muse – that is made of water.

Marchert himself voices Dr. Tuduski.

The plot gets moving when The High Wizard decides the human subspecies needs saving. The magical creatures try to pull a brilliant human doctor into their world – and end up with Tuduski instead.

Oops.

“Episodes are about five minutes,” Justin said, “which is long for a web series. Web series tend to be fairly short.

People do 30-second shows.”

Inspiration for the series includes the hospital comedy show “M*A*S*H,”

the puppet Dr. Bob, “Tales from the Far Side” sketches – and the loss of Justin’s mother to cancer eight years ago.

“I spent a lot of time in hospital rooms, eventually getting the ‘no turning back’ kind of news,” Justin said.

“I’d think, ‘If only the doctor had a magic wand. In a fantasy world, some sort of magical doctor would make this all better.”

Thinking the concept would appeal to the masses (“Everyone’s been in that boat,” Justin said), he started sketching characters, writing scripts and then sharing his results with a critique group.

Justin animated the series, primarily in 2-D with Toon Boom software, which he said in a news release was used for “The Simpsons,” “Bob’s Burgers,” “Family Guy,” “South Park” and “Archer.”

ASK THE DOCTORS Robert Ashley varying results.

Those looking at vitamin E and prostate cancer have found no benefit from supplementation. Although one study did find a decrease in prostate cancer in Finnish smokers who took 50 IU of vitamin E daily, further studies did not support this benefit.

A study in China found people with good dietary intake of vitamin E had a lower risk of developing lung cancer, but those who took vitamin E supplements had a higher risk of lung cancer. In addition, vitamin E supplements have been shown not to have benefit in reducing the risk of either colon cancer or the formation of colon polyps.

Some experts suspect vitamin E may even increase the rates of prostate and lung cancer, as well as increasing the virulence of melanoma.

As for the other reported benefits of vitamin E, such as its potential to decrease the risk of colds, cataracts or dementia, those benefits have not panned out.

Currently, the recommended daily amount of vitamin E daily is 15 milligrams.

You can get this from three ounces of almonds. Since vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin, if you have problems absorbing fat, you might need more of it in your diet and should consider a supplement.

But a vitamin E supplement has no benefit for a healthy individual who has a normal intake of vitamin E through the diet.

Dear Doctor: I’ve been taking vitamin E for years because it’s an antioxidant and supposed to be good for me, but my doctor told me recently I shouldn’t be taking it. Is that correct?

Dear Reader: Just before I graduated medical school in 1997, I wrote a review about vitamin E. Due to its apparent antioxidant effect, it appeared to have great benefits not just for decreasing the risk of heart disease, but also for decreasing the risk of cancer.

I was convinced by two large observational studies that were published in the New England Journal of Medicine in 1993. These studies analyzed data from both men and women who had filled out a questionnaire about diet and supplements and who were then followed for a period of four to eight years. The results were promising. Those women who took vitamin E had 34 percent fewer heart attacks compared with those women who didn’t take vitamin E. Among men, those who took vitamin E had 37 percent fewer heart attacks than men who didn’t take a supplement.

I was convinced and ready to preach the benefits of vitamin E. But the biggest problem is a questionnaire is not a good assessment of daily vitamin E intake. Thus, studies were needed that looked at intake of vitamin E supplements versus placebo.

The 2005 Women’s Health Study followed almost 40,000 women over a 10-year period, giving one group of women 600 international units (IU) of vitamin E every other day and the other a placebo. Researchers found no difference in rates of heart attacks. Then there was the 2008 Physicians’ Health Study, which assessed the impact of 400 IU of vitamin E every other day – and, again, researchers found no difference in the rate of heart attacks.

Many studies have assessed supplementation of vitamin E in cancer prevention, with

through a phase and doing something he has seen other people do. But more important than what his mother buys for him is how others respond to it. A family’s negative reaction sends a strong message. If Charlie is innocently testing out his/her authentic self, his grandparents’ negative response will signal they disapprove of who he is, which could have lasting ramifications for him. Counselors at PFLAG (Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays) have told me many parents say, looking back, they realize by disapproving, they had sent their child the message they couldn’t accept him/her. One child had suicidal thoughts at the age of 5 because of it.

Dear Abby: I often read and enjoy the “pennies from heaven” stories your readers send and decided to share mine. Although it doesn’t involve a penny, it’s very special to me.

My grandmother and I had a special bond, and part of it was sand dollars. She taught me their meaning and would mail me postcards with pictures of dollars on them. When she passed away, I inherited the gold sand dollar necklace she often had worn.

I moved into a new home several years ago, and during the home inspection, I found a sand dollar in the pantry. Everything had been emptied out of the house except for that lone sand dollar propped upright on a shelf. When I saw it, I knew immediately who it was from, and I felt so blessed. – Sand Dollar Blessing Dear Blessing: Your letter made me smile. I wish you had mentioned what your late grandmother explained to you about the meaning of sand dollars, because from what I have read, some people associate them with Christian beliefs, while others insist they are “coins” scattered by mermaids. Whichever meaning your grandmother ascribed to them, it’s clear from what you have written she was dearly loved.

My brother and sister-inlaw have been dressing my 2-year-old nephew, “Charlie,” in dresses and pink clothes.

They say these are what the boy has chosen.

To me, a toddler will pick out whatever gets his attention at the moment, and children that age have only a rudimentary understanding of gender.

It would be one thing if Charlie were old enough to understand and still insisted he felt more comfortable in girls’ clothing. But at his age I feel what they’re doing will only confuse him. Keep in mind, I do not believe this is a transgender issue. I think people who are transgender should dress and act the way they feel.

My parents (the boy’s grandparents) are worried and angry. My sister-in-law knows this upsets my mother and yet it’s as if she’s taunting her with texts and pictures of Charlie in pink and/or dresses. Are we overreacting? –

FRIDAY HOROSCOPE

By EUGENIA LAST

Newspaper Enterprise Association TODAY – The way you deal with institutions, friends and relatives will be important if you want to get ahead with minimal interference.

Keeping an open mind and looking for fair solutions will help you establish a good reputation among your peers.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – You should take care of the small, but important, details that could result in delays if they go unaddressed.

Handle matters personally, instead of relying on someone else who won’t do as good a job as you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Share your feelings and make changes to your lifestyle that

will enable you to cut corners so you have more time to do things you enjoy.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Refrain from making a commitment you cannot fulfill. Taking on too much will be your downfall. Taking impulsive action must be avoided.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – You’ll be tempted to make last-minute alterations that will cause a rift with someone. Don’t let your impulses take control and ruin something good. Take your time and work on self-improvement.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – An unexpected financial gain looks promising. Settlements, finalized contracts or even a gift or win is within your reach. Collect old debts and call in favors.

Offer assistance and make a difference.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Get your money

matters in order. Complete pending settlements, negotiations or any medical follow-up that is required to ensure you are in tip-top shape. A financial gain is heading your way.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – An emotional gesture will help you realize how much someone means to you. Communicate freely and gain insight into the possibilities that exist if you take part in a joint venture.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – You need to wrap things up quickly by doing what’s necessary. Discussing your plans with younger or older friends or relatives will help you put things in perspective.

A change will do you good.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Reevaluate what you have done in the past and think about how you want to move forward. A disciplined approach

will encourage physical, emotional and financial improvements. Put love high on your list.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Discussing home improvements or joint financial ventures will be difficult. Set a budget and refuse to overspend.

Look for hidden costs and find a way to cut corners.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Don’t think about what you want to do or ought to be doing, when you need to be taking action. If you are slow making decisions, you’ll get left behind. Choose love and peace over chaos.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Size up a situation and take a step forward. Don’t let the demands of others stand between you and what you want to accomplish. Don’t give in to manipulation or threats.

SOUTHWEST AUTO SALVAGE WE BUY JUNK CARS LOCKPORT, IL

Herbert Spencer, an Englishman who coined “survival of the fittest,” said, “How often misused words generate misleading thoughts.”

At the bridge table, success at the top level sometimes requires playing cards that generate incorrect thoughts in the minds of the opponents.

In this deal, the defenders were Brad Moss (East) and Joe Grue. East could not open with a weak twobid in diamonds. North’s one-heart response showed spades. His second-round jump to four hearts asked his partner to choose between four spades and four hearts.

West led the diamond six, third-highest from an even number or lowest from an odd number. The declarer ruffed in the dummy, played a spade to his ace and returned a spade to dummy’s king, relieved to see the 2-2 split. Now South had two chances: finding East with the club ace or playing hearts for only one loser.

In hearts, declarer could have won if East had honor-10-doubleton or 10-doubleton, or either opponent had king-queen-doubleton and South guessed correctly.

At trick four, declarer led a low heart from the board, and East sowed a misleading seed by playing his 10. West did his part by taking South’s jack with his king, then leading a second diamond.

Declarer ruffed in the dummy and tried a club to his king, but West won with his ace and played a third diamond.

Now South had to guess hearts.

It really looked as though East had started with queen-10-doubleton, so declarer cashed the heart ace and went down one.
