BuzzFeed’s action a stain on industry The Associated Press news alert came across succinct.

“NEW YORK – President-elect Trump spokesman condemns publication of dossier on Trump and Russia as ‘outrageous and irresponsible’” And, you know what? He’s 100 percent correct.

Our job in the media is to seek out information, confirm its authenticity, then pass it along.

Somewhere in the past year or years, that formula has fallen to the wayside.

It’s easy to blame others, TV news or illegitimate websites, but the reality is that we’re at an odd and incredibly scary point in information distribution.

We’re connected more than ever, but we’re fed more garbage than imaginable.

I get the allure of potential tales of mischief from celebrities or politicians.

But our standards for widespread distribution of this as news needs to be much higher.

I’m not going to talk about the specifics of the Trump, I guess we’ll call them “allegations,” this week.

VIEWS Jon Styf I’m more interested in the process that got them published.

I am not well-informed enough to tell you whether BuzzFeed is or was legitimate before now as a news entity. I can tell you now that they aren’t and their leader’s argument that they “err on the side of publishing” is ridiculous.

The reality is that it’s hard to make money in news. We know this. I look around the room here, comparing it with any previous era, and it’s obvious we have fewer reporters than anytime before.

But we do our best to cover local news, ensure its authenticity before publishing and then share it with you.

The problem is that, with all of the advertising algorithms out there, that process is no longer financially rewarded.

It’s all about writing whatever you please, sharing whatever lurid details you can fabricate or hear rumors about and start gathering clicks and revenue.

I can only imagine how impressive the web numbers were on BuzzFeed on Tuesday.

But also consider the damage posting unproven allegations can do.

Imagine if we did the same, posting whatever complaints or allegations people call about or send us regarding local politicians, officials, law enforcement or anything else.

You would probably frown upon that and it probably would have some hefty legal ramifications.

Also, it would be completely unprofessional and hurt our industry as a whole.

The same can be said for BuzzFeed’s post.

New owners hope to open winery in ‘castle’

By BOB OKON

bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The group that bought the former Diocese of Joliet property hope someday to open a winery in the 19th-century limestone house known as “The Castle” because of its solid stone walls and turrets.

The house, which was the residence of a brewer years before it became the first home for the bishop when the Diocese of Joliet was formed in 1949, is one of three buildings on the property.

The Joliet Zoning Board on Thursday will consider a request for a variance on another of the buildings, the former chancery, so it could be used for administrative offices for Catholic Charities’ Head Start program.

The variance for the chancery building is being considered separately from other plans for the property, which are still in early stages, said Phil Soto, one of the investors in the group.

HUSKY RACING

Annual event draws crowds for fun, games

By FELIX SARVER

fsarver@shawmedia.com MONEE – Tanya Partenski wasn’t always a husky dog owner, but her fascination with the breed has led her to own several and participate in demonstrations such as mushing, or sled-dog racing.

Partenski was with her three Huskies – Thatcher, Jasmine and Kenna – on Saturday for the 23rd annual Musher Mania at the Monee Reservoir Visitor Center in Monee.

Partnering for the event were the Forest Preserve District of Will County and the Siberian Husky Club of Greater Chicago, of which Partenski is a member.

Thatcher was Partenski’s first Husky dog six years ago. Then she decided to get two more.

“They keep telling us, when I joined the [Siberian Husky Club], they’re like

Lay’s potato chips – you can’t just have one. And it’s true,” she said.

No sledding took place because of the lack of snow, so Partenski and other husky owners used rigs with wheels the dogs could pull. Dozens of families traveled to the reservoir center to pet the huskies and watch them race.

Musher Mania is in line with the Forest Preserve District of Will County’s mission to connect people with nature, said Angie Opiola, an interpretive naturalist for the forest preserve district.

JJC hears proposal for warehouses

College asked to abate taxes on 4 buildings so they can be fixed up

By FELIX SARVER

fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Joliet Junior College officials were presented last week with a proposal to abate – or reduce – property taxes for a warehouse development to help with public infrastructure improvement costs.

JJC would be one of 10 taxing bodies to provide assistance through tax abatement for the development of four large distribution warehouses located south of Route 6 and east of Interstate

55 in the Channahon area.

Channahon Village Administrator Thomas Durkin said about $10 million would be needed for road and water main improvements to serve the development.

Durkin previously spoke of a similar proposal to the JJC Board on July 31 when Hillwood Investment Properties was the developer, but the company has since left the project and it is now being handled by Venture One Real Estate.

“The lack of infrastructure really

Police say pair in van had 30 bags of heroin Vehicle seen in town in recent weeks was reported as suspicious

By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com BRAIDWOOD – Police in Braidwood nabbed two more suspected heroin dealers.

Braidwood Police Chief Nick Ficarello said the department heard from various sources that a dark-colored Dodge van with a man and woman inside had been in the area the past several weeks. The sources suspected the occupants of dealing illegal drugs.

The van with a malfunctioning taillight was spotted by police before 2 a.m. Friday on Coal City Road near Interstate 55. Police initiated a traffic stop and learned the driver, Timothy Keck, 42, had a suspended driver’s license.

has an impact on the feasibility of the development of this property,” Durkin said.

On Tuesday, he told the JJC Board of Trustees an intergovernmental agreement regarding the tax abatements would be drafted and later brought for their consideration of approval.

Durkin said he’s spoken with officials with other taxing bodies, including school superintendents, about the proposal.

Ryan Stoller, a Venture One principal, told the board that warehouse buildings are common to the area, but the ones being developed are not like “the old warehouse buildings” as the companies that use them are a “great source of employment to communities.”

In response to JJC Trustee Alicia

Officers eventually searched the vehicle and found 30 full or partially full bags of heroin.

Keck was charged with possession of a Timothy controlled substance, Keck a felony, and driving with a suspended license, a misdemeanor.

The passenger, Tiffany L. Miller, 33, also received a felony charge of possession of a controlled substance.

Tiffany L. “I’m proud of the hard work of our BraidMiller wood police officers,” Ficarello said.

For now, the Will County State’s Attorney’s Office approved possession charges rather than delivery, but that could change, Ficarello said.

Keck and Miller both said they were homeless. Keck’s last address was in the 1500 block of East Division Street in Diamond, Ficarello said.

Continued from page 2 Soto said it could be “a couple of years” before the winery would open if the plan moves forward.

But the property, because it includes underground tunnels that were used for beer storage decades ago, would be an ideal site for wine making, which is a hobby of the investors, Soto said.

“It was a brewery on that site for 100 years,” Soto said. “There are tunnels throughout the property.”

Soto said the plan is to make wine at the site and use the building for wine tastings and small events.

While emphasizing that the plan is still preliminary, Soto said the investors were primarily interested in the house, last used for tribunal offices, to develop their hobby into a commercial winery.

“We’re not going to be a bar,” he said. “We’ll probably have a tasting room. We’ll be open three days a week and probably close by 6 p.m. depending on whether we have events.”

The winery would require zoning approval. Soto said the group has been meeting with city officials about the plan.

The group calls itself Sehring Property Holdings, taking its name from the Fred Sehring Brewing Co. that once occupied the property.

Investors include Damon Zdonich,

Morales’ question about who would be operating out of the warehouses, Stoller said he didn’t know yet.

“How the market has evolved is developers like ourselves build them speculatively ready for those users to raise their hand,” he said, referring to potential occupants of the warehouses.

He named companies that may be interested, such as Amazon, 3M or Target.

Morales said she would like to see direct hires for the warehouses as temp agencies are growing in the area. Direct hires are typically permanent, fulltime jobs. Stoller said there is a high demand for employees for these warehouses.

“Right now, it’s No. 1 for a lot of these users trying to find good labor and wages are going up because of this,” Stoller said.

Plans for the property • Tribunal building known as “the castle” would become a winery.

• The chancery would be used as an office building, possibly by Catholic Charities.

• John Paul II building would become a residence. a Joliet resident who grew up in the neighborhood.

“We are trying to develop it in a very responsible manner,” Zdonich said.

Zdonich said he and his brothers would live in the third building, the John Paul II house, which had been used as a residence for bishops and priests.

“We want to be very respectful to the prior owners as was the Diocese of Joliet,” Soto said of the site. “It has a lot of nice history.”

Zdonich said the tribunal building was commonly called “The Castle” when he was growing up, and the area around it was referred to as “Bishop’s Hill.” The Diocese of Joliet on its website also refers to the building as “the Castle” and describes it as the first home for the bishop when the diocese was formed.

The diocese vacated the site in December 2013, when it moved to its new offices in Crest Hill.

“It’s fun. It’s a lot of fun. My two dogs have just started running. … I want to get them running to get some exercise and [it’s] an outlet for energy.”

James Latta, husky dog owner

• MUSHER MANIA

Continued from page 3

The district holds programs and events throughout the year such as Musher Mania to meet that goal, she said.

“Ultimately, this is [the Siberian Husky Club’s] event. People come for the dogs,” she said.

The club was founded in 1973 and is an affiliate of the Siberian Husky Club of America, according to its Facebook page.

Whether the weather is between 30 to 40 degrees or minus 20 to 30 degrees with windchill, people still will come to Musher Mania, she said.

“We really appreciate that and that’s something we hold our head high for,” Opiola said.

The event is free and accessible to the public.

Besides the huskies, people were able to enjoy a snowshoeing activity, ice carving, a husky scavenger hunt, a viewing of Disney’s “Snow Dogs,” and food such as apple fritters or s’mores by the fire.

Eric Ginnard – eginnard@shawmedia.com

A husky sled dog licks 8-year-old Aidan Campos’ face Saturday during the Will County forest preserve’s Musher Mania in Monee.

There also were winter-themed crafts and games, and people could take photos with the dogs.

Opiola said all the husky dogs have

a lineage. Some are from Alaska, and some have relatives that have run in the Iditarod race in Alaska.

James Latta was at Saturday’s

event for his first time with his two huskies: Pippa and Lady Remington, or Remy. He said he’s owned huskies for 40 years, and he is training Pippa and Remy to run.

“It’s fun. It’s a lot of fun. My two dogs have just started running. … I want to get them running to get some exercise and [it’s] an outlet for energy,” Latta said.

He said huskies love to run and it’s not hard to get them to do it, but what they need is practice. Plus, it’s difficult to train them when the weather gets too hot, because they can overheat.

Another part of racing huskies is knowing where to place them on the rig of a sled. He said there needs to be a lead dog who finds a trail and stays on it.

Partenski said huskies are a fun dog, although they can shed a lot.

When she began to own huskies, she started doing activities with them such as sledding demonstrations.

She said she learned about the breed through the Siberian Husky Club.

“This is my life right now. It’s them and work,” she said.

bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Mayor Bob O’Dekirk said he sorted through some 40 applicants before choosing four new appointments to the Rialto Square Theatre board to be made Tuesday.

O’Dekirk did not name his appointees Friday, saying he was still contacting everyone who applied to inform them of his decision.

“I’ve got about 40 applicants. This has been difficult,” O’Dekirk said. “I feel bad that good people cannot be picked for the board.”

If appointments are approved by the City Council, which is likely, it would mean that the new Rialto board could meet Jan. 25 as scheduled without miss-

operating on a three-month contract that runs through March, or another management company before the city provides any funding for the theater this year.

The Rialto board approved the intergovernmental agreement, which provides for $500,000 in funding in two installments, before resigning at a special meeting on Dec. 29.

Board members gave no explanation for why they resigned as a group with the exception of Mary Babich, who said the resignations were necessary to ensure the $500,000 in funding.

Outgoing Chairman Dan Vera said there were no stipulations for the resignations but did not offer an alternative explanation.

The Rialto board and the city coun-

cil had been at odds over theater management and future city support of the theater.

The theater owes nearly $600,000 on unpaid bills from 2016, and VenuWorks requested the $500,000 in city funding to cover an expected deficit in 2017.

While the Rialto is behind on its bills, it has not had to stop all payments, as one VenuWorks executive said after the board resigned. Supposedly, no checks could be signed because a board member’s signature was needed on any Rialto payments.

But Rialto Interim Executive Director Timothy Berry said last week that outgoing Vice Chairman Cynthia Tyler has been able to sign checks since her spot on the board has not yet been replaced by the governor.

coroner’s office.

The Crest Hill Police Department is investigating the incident.

Ed Clark, Crest Hill interim police chief, said Cummings worked as a subcontractor. Police were told he was on a large refrigerator unit inside Rich Products, 21511 Division St., Crest Hill, before he fell.

Clark said the death appears to be a

tragic accident.

The company lists the Crest Hill location as a manufacturing facility on its website.

Rich Products officials did not immediately respond to an email seeking comment about Cummings’ death.

Fernando V. Gamez, 42, of Sioux City, Iowa, also died after a fall at the location in August 2016, causing the Occupational

Safety & Health Administration to open an investigation into Gamez’s employer, Ortner Construction of Danbury, Iowa.

An autopsy Saturday revealed Cummings suffered multiple injuries due to the fall, according to the coroner’s office. The final cause of death is pending police, autopsy and toxicology reports.

ing a meeting since the entire former board resigned in December.

The seven-member Rialto board needs at least five members to be present for a quorum to conduct a meeting.

Joliet businessman Robert Filotto was named to the board on Jan. 4 by Gov. Bruce Rauner, who has three appointments to the board.

“My four picks and Mr. Filotto will be ready to do business on the 25th,” O’Dekirk said.

The new board has some important business to conduct, including reaching a one-year agreement with management company VenuWorks.

An intergovernmental agreement with the city requires that the Rialto must have a one-year agreement in place with VenuWorks, which is now

Joliet man gets 8-year sentence for fatal beating

By BRIAN STANLEY

bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A Joliet man was sentenced Friday to eight years in prison for fatally beating his mentally disabled brother-in-law.

Though with good behavior, Francis “Frank” Zabala, 55, would only have to serve half that time before being re- Frank Zabala leased on parole and he already has spent three years in the Will County Jail.

“I’m sorry for what happened. I just wish I could turn back the clock. I wish I could trade places with him every day,” Zabala sobbed to Judge Amy Bertani-Tomczak.

On Sept. 22, 2013, Zabala and his thenwife, Janice Zabala, were watching tele-

vision in their Bergstrom Street home with Janice Zabala’s brother, Robert Meredith Jr. Meredith, who had the mental capacity of a 9-year-old, had moved in with the Zabala family after his parents died the year before and had become increasingly disruptive in the household, according to trial testimony.

When Meredith urinated on his clothes and the carpet and refused to clean it up, Frank Zabala hit him with a wooden stick before sending him to “time out.” When Meredith chuckled at not having to clean, Frank Zabala “lost it” and punched him several times in the back, according to trial testimony.

“He had three broken ribs on one side, four on the other – all towards his back,” Bertani-Tomczak said Friday.

“He had to be face down ... unable to fight back.”

After hospital staff examined Mere-

dith’s injuries, Frank Zabala was arrested and charged with murder. During a trial in November, he was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter.

On Friday, several of Frank Zabala’s 15 siblings testified about his good work ethic and generosity. They also noted he’d grown up with a mentally disabled sister.

Defense attorney Chuck Bretz said Frank Zabala’s only prior criminal charge was a stop sign violation 20 years ago.

“He’s obviously made a very tragic mistake [when he] lost it on that day.

He’ll never forgive himself for what happened,” Bretz said. “His relationship with his children has changed and his marriage has [ended]. There are no winners here. There’s been a lot of pain and suffering for the whole family.”

Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan announced Friday in a news release that after a two-day trial, a judge has found a registered sex offender from Joliet to be a sexually violent person.

McLean County Judge Paul Lawrence ruled that Anthony Sullivan, 23, must remain in the custody of the Illinois Department of Human Services for treatment, according to the news release. Sullivan has been returned to the department’s SVP Treatment and Detention Facility in Rushville.

In 2011, Sullivan was convicted of aggravated criminal sexual abuse and sentenced to four years and six months in prison for sexually assaulting a 13-year-old girl. Mental health evaluators have determined that if released from state custody, there is a high likelihood Sullivan will reoffend, the news release stated.

16 Q&A: Will County Health Dept.’s

Sue Olenek on agency’s future

By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com Herald-News reporter Mike Mallory recently spoke with Will County Health Department Executive Director Sue Olenek about current challenges facing the department and its expectations for the future.

Mallory: You spoke Jan. 5 at a Will County Board Public Health & Safety Committee meeting about forming a strategic plan for the Will County Health Department for the first time. Is there any specific incident lately where you knew it was time to do this?

Olenek: It’s something I’ve thought

we needed to do for several years now.

But we continued to have financial challenges that force us to decide which programs we should be doing and which ones we shouldn’t be. It’s time to stop and look at what our programming is and decide who we are as an agency.

What is our path? We need to have a real solid strategic direction.

Mallory: What is the timeline for the plan?

Olenek: We’re in the process of inter-

viewing consultants. Hopefully we’ll be able to choose the right facilitator and work on it in February or March. We hope to have a plan done by the end of March.

Mallory: Last May, 53 health department employees were slated for layoffs because of a funding crisis. Were any actually laid off? What is the total number of staff right now?

Olenek: We are at about 275 staff now.

The layoffs in October 2016 were the last ones. Unfortunately, we’ve gone through this bumping process so many times I can’t remember a specific number right now. [As part of their union contract, department employees slated for layoffs have “bumping rights,” in which a worker with seniority can fill

an open position or a position filled by a person with less seniority.]

AFTER

Mallory: Will the department be forced to do another bumping process this year?

Olenek: I sure hope not. I’m working

with our leadership team to continue to maximize revenue and closely monitor our expenses. We’re looking for other revenue streams. But as long as the state pays its bills, we should be fine. If they pay us for the work we are contracted to do and don’t cut grant programs, we should be fine.

Mallory: What is the current state of the department as it relates to funding from the state? Do they owe anything?

Olenek: The state doesn’t owe any-

thing for fiscal 2016, which is how it should be. They owe us a little bit for fiscal 2017, which is normal. We’ve received some correspondence about a couple programs, indicating that they do intend to pay us for our services.

Mallory: You talked Jan. 5 about embracing change. Many are aware of Republican plans at the federal level to repeal the Affordable Care Act. How has the act affected the health department?

Continued from page 16 stantial was the expansion of Medicaid.

The health department has several programs that accept Medicaid and by expanding eligibility for it, it’s helped us serve more people. It cuts across all divisions – immunization, dental, behavioral health. At the Will County Community Health Center alone, the amount of patients has almost doubled.

Mallory: Would you categorize the Affordable Care Act as a positive thing for the health department?

Olenek: Absolutely.

Mallory: How would repealing the act impact the department?

Olenek: It depends if [legislators] re-

ly in has been modified so many times to best fit our needs, but it certainly doesn’t work sufficiently. It was built in the 1920s. We are looking to have a better flowing, more efficient building – one that fits our needs. We don’t need a big footprint. In this current building, we have a lot of walls and it was designed in wings. It’s very inefficient, not only for clients, but for staff. It’s also expensive to heat, cool and maintain as a structure. We’re looking forward to a well-built, low-maintenance, efficient building. I’m not sure when it will open, but we’re glad to be in line for it.

More men also have the ability to have coverage now. They weren’t a big part of the Medicaid group before, but the Affordable Care Act has allowed them to sign up for health insurance. They were able to get primary health care, dental, etc. It’s a big group that would be impacted.

DR. NICHOLAS MICHAEL SLIMACK

Born: February 8, 1943; in Joliet, IL Died: January 8, 2017; in Kankakee, IL Dr. Nicholas Michael Slimack, 73, passed away Sunday, January 8, 2017 in Kankakee, IL. Nicholas was born in Joliet, IL to Lorraine and Michael Slimack on February 8, 1943.

He graduated from Joliet Catholic Academy and earned his Bachelor of Science from Lewis University. He went on to earn his Doctor of Medicine from the University of Illinois College of Medicine which launched him into his lifetime passion of interventional radiology. It was there that he met his wife Patricia Harris.

Dr. Slimack began his career in Southern California but eventually moved back to the midwest to be near his family. Patti and Nicholas settled in Kankakee where they raised two sons and one daughter. He worked at Riverside Hospital for more than 35 years as a dedicated radiologist. Dr. Slimack was known to his colleagues, residents, nurses and patients as an intelligent, compassionate physician with a tireless work ethic. Aside from his medical career he was an avid sports enthusiast and enjoyed tennis, basketball, football, handball and racquet ball, but mostly enjoyed watching his children follow in his footsteps.

The Associated Press

LONDON – Lord Snowdon, the society photographer and filmmaker who married Britain’s Princess Margaret and continued to mix in royal circles even after their divorce, has died. He was 86.

Buckingham Palace said that Queen Elizabeth II, Margaret’s sister, had been told that he died.

“The Earl of Snowdon died peacefully at home on 13th January 2017,” said Camera Press, the photo agency with which he worked.

One of the country’s most famous photographers, Snowdon was one of the few top-echelon royals to hold down an outside job after he married the queen’s sister in 1960, and his professional reputation grew steadily.

Margaret died in 2002.

Snowdon was admired for his discretion, never speaking with the media about the breakup of the marriage in 1978, and rejecting offers to write a book about it. But over time a number of details about his complicated love life emerged.

Born Antony Armstrong-Jones, he was a slightly bohemian member of London’s smart set and an established society photographer when he and the queen’s sister surprised the country with their engagement in February 1960.

They had met at a London party and managed to keep their courtship a secret in the months that followed, despite intense interest in Margaret’s romantic life.

Unconventional, artistic and not nearly as wealthy as Margaret’s other suitors, Armstrong-Jones lived in a studio in west London and did his own cooking. He was certainly not seen by the public and press as a royal prospect.

The “Jones Boy” married the high-spirited Margaret at Westminster Abbey on May 6, 1960, in the first royal wedding to be televised. Whatever doubts the country might have had about his suitability were swept aside by general relief that Margaret had, at last, found love. It had been five years since her widely publicized decision to end her romance with divorced war hero Peter Townsend after pressure from church leaders, political figures and her own family.

Armstrong-Jones was named the Earl of Snowdon in October 1961, in time to give a title to their first child, David, Viscount Linley, born the following month. Linley became a successful furniture designer. His sister, Lady Sarah, born in May 1964, became a painter.

Margaret, unlike most of the royal family, shared her husband’s interest in the arts, and the two moved in a circle of creative people at a time when “swinging London” gained a worldwide reputation for music, clothes, films and clubs.

In 1969, Snowdon designed the setting for the investiture of Prince Charles as Prince of Wales at Caernarvon Castle in Wales.

Snowdon was born March 7, 1930, the son of lawyer Ronald Armstrong-Jones and Anne Messel, sister of celebrated stage designer Oliver Messel.

Snowdon’s first exposure to the world of celebrity came as a teenager when his uncle Oliver Messel brought Noel Coward and Marlene Dietrich to the hospital to sing to him after he was stricken with polio.

Snowdon was educated at Eton and studied architecture at Cambridge University, where he failed his final exams.

He did an apprenticeship with Baron, the leading society photographer of the day, then set himself up as a theatrical photographer. By the late 1950s ,he was doing a considerable amount of work for fashion magazines.

He had a sense of humor and engaging manner that put his subjects at ease, and he brought a new informality to portraits of the royal family.

By the early 1970s, Snowdon’s marriage to Margaret was beset by rumors of infidelity. They separated in 1976 and quietly divorced in 1978.

Snowdon married Lucy Lindsay Hogg, and had a daughter, Frances, in 1979. They divorced in 2000.

Margaret did not remarry, and she died after a stroke in 2002.

In the 1990s, two relationships Snowdon had with other women became public.

After the suicide of 55-year-old journalist Ann Hills in 1997, it was revealed that she had known Snowdon for 20 years, had been a longtime lover and had remained a close friend.

In April 1998, journalist Melanie Cable-Alexander gave birth to a son, Jasper, and said Snowdon was the father. He did not deny it.

In later years, Snowdon was troubled by the effects of polio, which left him with a slight limp, and he had difficulty standing for any length of time. He endowed a fund that provides scholarships for disabled students.

Snowdon remained a favorite photographer of the queen long after his marriage to her sister ended in rancor, and he took many portraits of her. Diana, Princess of Wales, was another frequent subject.

Chicago pledges improvements to police

By ERIC TUCKER, MICHAEL TARM and DON BABWIN

large protests and cost the city’s police superintendent his job.

The report’s conclusions were unsparing, blaming “systemic deficiencies” within the department and the city, including insufficient training and a failure to hold bad officers accountable for misconduct. Officers endangered civilians, caused avoidable injuries and deaths, and eroded community trust that is “the cornerstone of public safe-

ty,” said Vanita Gupta, head of the Justice Department’s civil rights division.

The federal government’s recommendations follow an especially bloody year on Chicago streets. The city logged 762 homicides in 2016, the highest tally in 20 years and more than the combined total of the two largest U.S. cities – New York and Los Angeles.

Mayor Rahm Emanuel said the results of the investigation were “sobering” and pledged to make changes beyond those the city already has adopted, including de-escalation training and stricter use-of-force policies. Federal authorities and city officials have signed an agreement that offers a broad outline for reform, including commitments to improved transparency, training and accountability for bad officers.

The Justice Department and the city will negotiate a final settlement to be enforced by the courts.

Attorney General Lynch said the report lays “the groundwork for the difficult but necessary work of building a stronger, safer, and more united Chicago for all who call it home.”

She was pressed to address questions about the fate of the investigation under the Trump administration, and insisted that talks between Chicago and the federal government about police reforms would continue regardless “of who is at the top of the Justice Department.”

The Associated Press

CHICAGO – Chicago officials are pledging to revamp the city Police Department after a scathing federal report, but a change in presidential administrations could spell uncertainty for the critical next step in the process: negotiating a court-enforceable improvement plan with the Justice Department.

A report released Friday in the final days of Attorney General Loretta Lynch’s tenure found that police in the nation’s second-largest department had violated the constitutional rights of residents for years, including by frequently using excessive force, shooting at people who did not pose imminent threats and using stun guns on others only because they refused to follow commands.

The report was the culmination of a yearlong investigation, one of about two dozen civil-rights probes of local law enforcement agencies undertaken

by President Barack Obama’s Justice Department.

The findings come just a week before Donald Trump is sworn in as president, marking a change from a Democratic White House that has strongly backed the review process to a Republican one that has expressed far less support for

Documents: Son of slain aide named in warrant

OAK LAWN – A 27-year-old man has been named in a warrant in the slaying of his mother who worked as an aide to Illinois Congressman Dan Lipinski.

Court records reveal the warrant was issued for Steven Chmela.

Marianne Viverito’s body was found Tuesday in the basement of her Oak Lawn home after police received a request for a well-being check from an out-of-state police agency. She suffered multiple stab wounds.

The Daily Southtown reported that Chmela shared the home with his 55-yearold mother. Chmela is expected to be formally charged in the coming days.

Oak Lawn Division Chief Randy Palmer said Friday that a suspect was being held in Wisconsin.

The Chicago Sun-Times reported that a doctor’s evaluation is scheduled for Chmela.

Viverito had worked in Lipinski’s office for the past decade.

Adams County to use grant to help mentally ill offenders

QUINCY – Adams County will use a $29,000 state grant to begin a court specifically for nonviolent criminal offenders.

The grant announced Thursday comes from Adult Redeploy Illinois. It’s a state program that uses community support systems to keep nonviolent criminals out of prison to save money and reduce recidivism.

Adams County will create a Mental Health Court by July. It will resemble the county’s 10-year-old Drug Court. Nonviolent offenders diagnosed with a serious mental illness will undergo an intensive probation program. That program will include counseling, medication monitoring, frequent court appearances and probation appointments.

Assistant State’s Attorney Jamie Friye will oversee the court. She said the program will help direct mentally ill defendants away from jail or prison and toward the treatment they need.

Protesters decry Trump’s anti-immigrant stance

By BEN NUCKOLS

The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Protesters gathered Saturday to support immigrant rights at rallies around the U.S., denouncing President-elect Donald Trump for his anti-immigrant rhetoric and his pledges to build a wall on the U.S.-Mexican border and to crack down on Muslims entering the country.

“We are not going to allow Donald Trump to bury the Statue of Liberty,” Sen. Chris Van Hollen, a Maryland Democrat, told a standing-room-only crowd at a historic black church in downtown Washington during one of dozens of rallies around the nation.

In Chicago, more than 1,000 people poured into a teachers’ union hall to support immigrant rights and implore one another to fight for those rights against what they fear will be a hostile Trump administration.

Ron Taylor, pastor of a Chicago-area Disciples for Christ Church and executive director of the United Congress of Community and Religious Organizations, told the audience there, “Regardless of what happens in the coming days, we know that good will conquer evil and we want to say to each and every one of you, you are not alone.”

In Los Angeles, several hundred people rallied at a downtown Mexican-American cultural center and plaza. Some carried signs saying “Here to Stay” and chanted “Si se puede,” Spanish for “Yes, we can.”

The protests mark the latest chapter in a movement that has evolved since 2006, when more than a million people took to the streets to protest a Republican-backed immigration bill that would have made it a crime to be in the country illegally.

Saturday’s events in Washington, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Jose, California, and elsewhere took place as thousands participated in a “We Shall Not Be Moved” march and rally in Washington ahead of Monday’s Martin Luther

King Jr. Day holiday.

The line to enter Metropolitan AME Church in Washington stretched nearly a city block.

People attending included immigrants who lack permission to be in the country and their relatives and supporters. Also present were elected officials, clergy and representatives of labor and women’s groups.

“I stand here because I have nothing to apologize for. I am not ashamed of my status because it is a constant reminder to myself that I have something to fight for,” said Max Kim, 19, who was brought to the U.S. from South Korea when he was 6 and lacks legal permission to stay in the country.

The Washington crowd urged Trump and the Republican-controlled Congress not to undo the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, aimed at helping people like Kim who were brought to the country as children.

Michael Takada of the Japanese American Service Committee urged the Chicago audience to “disrupt the deportation machine” that he and others fear will ramp up under the new president. He also urged them to keep a close eye on their local police departments and speak out if they see those departments help “ICE to deport our community members.”

Dr. Bassam Osman, chairman and co-founder of The Council of Islamic Organizations of Greater Chicago, elicited one of the loudest cheers from the crowd when he called out the president-elect by name in an opening prayer: “Lord, this land is your land, it is not Trump’s land.”

While there was plenty of cheering, there was also uneasiness and fear of what’s to come after Trump is sworn in.

Rehab Alkadi, a 31-year-old mother of a young son who came to the United States four years ago from war-torn Syria, said she doesn’t believe she can be deported because “there is a war in Syria, but who knows. It’s so scary, what Trump says,” she said. “He said a lot of things bad about the Muslim people.”

The ASSOCIATED PRESS DETROIT – This year’s North American International Auto Show reflects an industry that’s flush with cash but uncertain about the future.

Multi-million-dollar displays show new versions of big sellers like the Toyota Camry, GMC Terrain and Honda Odyssey. New technology is everywhere. Auto companies are making big promises, like Chinese automaker GAC’s plan to sell a vehicle in the U.S. by 2019 and Volvo’s goal of preventing all fatal crashes in its vehicles by 2020.

But there could be bumps ahead.

U.S. sales are leveling off and the Trump administration could change the rules on trade. And it’s not yet clear which companies will be the winners on car-sharing and self-driving.

“The ground is so unstable beneath

them right now,” said Karl Brauer, a senior director of content at Kelley Blue Book.

Here are some things we learned at the Detroit auto show: PLATEAUING SALES: After an unprecedented seven-year streak of sales increases and record sales of 17.55 million in 2016, U.S. sales of new cars and trucks are expected to slow down slightly in 2017. Interest rates and car prices are rising. A glut of used cars will also put pressure on new-car sales.

Automakers are cutting production of cars to lower their inventories, but they’re also counting on new vehicles, gadgets and must-have technology, like Apple CarPlay and backup cameras, to fuel demand. At the auto show, BMW is showing off a 5 Series with gesture controls, which let drivers control volume and other functions with hand signals.

Lexus’ new LS sedan has seats that give occupants Shiatsu massages. And multiple automakers are introducing new vehicles that will brake automatically to avoid an accident.

TRUMP EFFECT: President-elect Donald Trump and his Twitter threats to tax Mexican auto imports were the talk of the show. Automakers reacted in different ways. General Motors, Volkswagen and Nissan said they won’t change their production plans. Toyota warned that the price of a U.S.-built Camry could rise by $1,000 if Trump taxes auto parts from Mexico. Sergio Marchionne, CEO of Fiat Chrysler, said FCA might be forced to abandon Mexico if the tax is too punitive, but he’s waiting for more details. “This is new territory for most of us. None of us has had a tweeting president before,” he said. But AutoNation CEO Mike

Jackson said Trump could help the industry by easing expensive regulations and lowering corporate taxes. He also thinks Trump will tread carefully with border taxes. “He will be a failure if he hurts consumers or companies,” Jackson said.

CHINA’S COMING: Volvo and Buick are already selling Chinese-built vehicles in the U.S. But so far, no Chinese automaker has managed to crack the U.S. market, where tough safety regulations and dealer franchise laws can be a barrier for newcomers. Guangzhou Automobile Group hopes to change that. GAC unveiled three new vehicles at the show, including a plugin hybrid, and said it plans to sell the five-passenger GX7 SUV in the U.S. by 2019. It would have a starting price of $15,000, or around $10,000 less than the Toyota RAV4.

After working a decade for IBM, and then roughly the same amount of time at Crain’s Chicago Business, Waller then set a goal several years ago of eventually owning seven Culver’s locations.

Waller has so far been able to keep it all about family, with numerous nephews and nieces as part of his work staff in New Lenox and Joliet. His nephew, Bryon Waller, a longtime Joliet resident, is co-owner of restaurants in Lockport and Joliet.

Ben’s Soft Pretzels, an Amish-inspired soft pretzel bakery offering preservative free pretzels baked fresh on-site daily, recently opened a location in Homer Glen. The new bakery opened inside Meijer, located at 14169 S. Bell Road. The grand opening celebration will be taking place from 1 to 7 p.m. Wednesday and will offer a free jumbo soft pretzel to each new customer.

Ben’s Soft Pretzels of Homer Glen is owned and operated by longtime friends and neighbors Lisa Brown and Jim Alfini, as well as Lisa’s mother, Loma Hall, and Jim’s mother-in-law, Arline Pearson. The group had wanted to open their own business together, and unanimously decided on Ben’s Soft Pretzels when they first tried the product.

“When I first tried Ben’s, I absolutely fell in love with the pretzels and immediately had everyone else try it, as well,” Brown said. “Ben’s Soft Pretzels has the delicious, quality products that we were looking for, and we knew it would be our perfect business venture.”

We believe this could be the venue’s chance for a fresh start.

There’s been no shortage of drama at the Rialto in recent months. Last year saw the revelation that theater payroll taxes weren’t being paid, the departure of former General Manager Randy Green, the hiring of third-party manager VenuWorks, and, most recently, disagreement between the board and the city about whether Joliet should provide the Rialto with $500,000 in annual funds.

With the money approved by the city council and Joliet’s conditions approved by the Rialto board, the board, which includes four members selected by Joliet’s mayor and three chosen by the governor, stepped down just three days before the new year.

While the group resignation was inappropriate, it gives the theater, the city and the state the opportunity to begin anew with regard to the venue.

Joliet Mayor Bob O’Dekirk has said dozens of people have expressed interest in joining the Rialto board. He will name his appointees at Tuesday’s city council meeting for approval.

For O’Dekirk and the city, the stakes are high regarding these appointments. The mayor has said the theater needs a “wholesale change.” Now he has the chance to set the course for the theater’s future.

We hope he chooses wisely.

With the Rialto facing about $600,000 in debt and the city

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

declining to provide the designated 2017 funds unless the Rialto establishes a one-year contract with VenuWorks, the new board will more than have its work cut out for it.

But Gov. Bruce Rauner’s first selection for the board, Robert Filotto, gives us cause for optimism. Filotto served as a Rialto board member in the 1980s and 1990s, has a master’s degree in business, is a certified public accountant, has served on multiple other local organization boards and owns his own company. He is highly qualified and we hope he becomes the inaugural member of a practical and functional board that proves successfully operating a theater like the Rialto is possible.

We know it’s possible because of the examples set by other such venues in the region. The Genesee Theatre in Waukegan has six shows booked for February. The Paramount Theatre in Aurora has eight performances of “Sweeney Todd” running per week for much of next month, plus weekly movie showings.

The Rialto, by contrast, has two shows booked for February. Both are performances by comedian Ron White on Feb. 17.

VenuWorks, which currently has a three-month contract with the Rialto, believes it can change that. The theater’s agreement with the city commits the Rialto to booking 30 shows by the end of June, or forfeiting $250,000 of the $500,000 budgeted by the city.

We look forward to seeing the venue’s third-party manager and board work together to make that happen.

In the coming months, we hope the Rialto becomes a theater that offers more drama onstage, and less behind the scenes.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Congrats on great start for Joliet West, Joliet Central boys hoops

To the Editor: What a wonderful start for both of our District 204 varsity boys basketball teams, the Joliet West Tigers and the Joliet Central Steelmen.

Both of these hard-working squads have a combined record of 26-2 as of Jan. 5. A huge congrats to both of these dedicated squads and coaches and their throngs of incredibly loyal fans.

Go Steelmen and go Tigers!

Keep up your exceptional efforts, both on and off the courts.

Stop letting violent offenders out

To the Editor: Who is responsible for 99 percent of the crime you hear about?

Someone has to let the three-, four-, fivetime convicted violent criminals out, time and

time again.

Why not put the names of the real offenders that sign the orders of release. How many times is it that the crimes and shootings are done by repeat offenders?

That is where the protest needs to be. Law enforcement are not the bad guys.

People are becoming unbelievably gullible

To the Editor: If our elected officials really want to do something bipartisan, then make it a crime to create or pass along a conspiracy causing a crime. It would be like a law inciting a riot or yelling fire in a theater. Both laws limit free speech.

Examples of what would be criminal would be the story that a pizzeria in Washington, D.C., is a base for a child sex ring. Besides the

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.

MIDLIFE CIRCUS Bill Wimbiscus however, is no easy task.

Metropolitan Life Insurance invented the concept of ideal weight in 1943, the idea being that people at a given height within a certain weight range have the lowest mortality rates.

Everyone else paid higher premiums, I guess.

Met updated its ideal weight charts in 1959, the same year I was born, so I thought that would be a good place to start. According to that chart, a 58-year-old male my height should weigh somewhere between 143 and 178 pounds, with 160 pounds being the ideal.

Which means I’d need to lose about 29 percent of my current body weight to be, you know, ideal.

Yeah.

The nice thing about the Internet is that if you don’t like the first answer it gives you, it’s pretty easy to keep on Googling until you find one you like better. So I decided further research was in order.

According to the North American Association for the Study of Obesity,

the ideal weight for a 5-foot-11 male of any age is 171. Well, OK, that’s more like it. Unattainable in the next 12 months, but at least it’s a step in the right direction. So back to the drawing board, er, keyboard.

The U.S. National Center for Health Statistics chart claims the ideal weight for males aged 55 to 64 years is 187. Wow, that’s way better, I’m getting healthier by the minute. Though I have a suspicion that this chart may refer to the average, rather than ideal, weight of the older American male.

Best to keep searching.

According to some website called ideal.healthcentral.com, large-framed males my age and height should weigh between 182 and 202 pounds, with 192 pounds the ideal. Frame is determined by wrapping your thumb and fingers around the smallest part of your wrist. If they don’t touch, you’re large framed. Or maybe I just have small hands.

Time to get serious and go to a real authority on ideal men, the U.S. Army. According to the Army’s height and weight chart, a 40-year-old-plus male my size should weigh around 197.

To hit that mark, I’d need to drop 28 pounds, or 12.5 percent of my current body weight. That’s 2.3 pounds per

month. Or just over half a pound per week. Or about 1.28 ounces per day.

Doable, perhaps not realistic, but definitely a better option than 29 percent.

With that goal in mind, I’ve created a 10-step regimen to remove the excess weight. It’s going great; I’ve already completed the first eight steps.

Step 1: Remove wristwatch. Check.

Step 2: Remove cellphone. Check.

Step 3: Remove car keys. Check.

Step 4: Remove wallet. Check.

Step 5: Trim nails. Check.

Step 6: Get hair cut. Check.

Step 7: Wear lighter clothing.

Check.

Step 8: Spend more quality time in bathroom. Check.

Step 9: Eat less. TBD. Step 10: Exercise more. TBD. I’ve already lost nearly 12 ounces.

That’s like nine days’ weight loss and it’s only day one.

Man, this healthy living really wears you out.

Think I’ll go have a well-earned beer.

Tax and spend, as usual

To the Editor: Related to the Sunday Cover Story feature, a lengthy article re. lawmakers returning to Springfield. The features of Sen. Pat McGuire and Rep. Larry Walsh Jr. could have been reprints since the time they have been in Springfield.

Main ideas – Property tax increases, income tax increases and possibly a sugary drink tax. As usual, no thoughts of cutting spending or making changes in employee benefits or retirement.

Where I worked, we got six holidays per year. How many do state workers get? I understand we have about 7,000 departments in the state.

We could probably eliminate half and not miss them. The Dems continue with the only way to proceed is tax and spend. They push school needs yet kids can’t read, write and do math. They have to take a test to see if they can handle junior college level work. Patronage jobs continue and they blindly follow Madigan.

Does it not occur to them that Illinois’

population has dropped for the last three years? Business are going where taxes and workman’s comp aren’t high.

More and more states are right-towork. Illinois is listed as 49th in the country. If Gov. Rauner settles before getting his agenda, we will get continued tax and spend.

Maybe they didn’t recognize that the country has voted out Dems in the last three elections and lost the White House and Congress this year.

If you have time to sit there and work puzzles, read the papers and play computer games waiting to be told how to vote, go home and save us all some money.

Dangerous glaze

Raymond F. Stoiber Joliet

• Sunday, January 15, 2017

Now that January is half over, it’s high time to get serious about all those half-hearted resolutions for the new year.

My resolution for 2017 is the same as last year’s: to lose weight.

The previous attempt started out well enough, but like the 2016 White Sox, it turned into a losing effort as the season progressed. The Sox ended up six wins under .500 while I ended up six pounds heavier; both of us victims of poor planning.

But not this year. This year we’re both going to think first before we act.

Last week I weighed in at 225 pounds. I checked online and it turns out this is the ideal weight for a human male. As long as he stands about 6-foot-7.

Unfortunately, I’m only 5-foot-11.

So in reality the problem isn’t that I’m too heavy; it’s just that I’m too short.

That leaves two options: 1. Increase length by 8 inches, an unlikely strategy since none of the male enlargement drugs currently on the market appear to target skeletal growth, or 2. Reduce circumference by enough to reach what would be considered an “ideal” weight.

Determining what “ideal” means,

BOYS BASKETBALL: MINOOKA 41, JOLIET CENTRAL 39

INDIANS’ NIGHT TO SHINE

Butler, Minooka beat Joliet Central for second time in three meetings

By DICK GOSS

dgoss@shawmedia.com JOLIET – As much as Jon Butler has meant to the Minooka boys basketball team this season, he has struggled from the free-throw line.

In Friday night’s huge 41-39 Southwest Prairie Conference victory at Joliet Central, it was a different story.

The Indians (12-4, 3-2), who played two games Saturday and will play two more Monday in the Galesburg MLK Tournament, gained possession with 1:22 left after Cameron Blackmon’s 3-pointer had lifted Central (14-2, 6-1) back into a tie at 39 apiece. Minooka held the ball for nearly a half-minute before coach Scott Tanaka called a timeout.

The plan from that point was to run down the clock and have the ball in Butler’s hands, hopefully to take the ball to the basket for the final shot. After a ball screen from John Carnagio near the top of the key, Butler drove the right side of the lane and drew a two-shot foul. After a Steelmen timeout, he nailed both shots – he was 5 of 6 on the night – for the 41-39 lead.

“I’ve been in the gym practicing free throws a lot before practice,” said Butler, who averages 14 points but was a tick under 50 percent from the line for the season coming in. “I felt like I found a rhythm. I’m glad it finally came through. I felt confident on those last two.”

“They ran a ball screen and Jose [Grubbs] and Ryan [King] didn’t communicate on whether to switch,” Central coach Lawrence Thompson Jr. said. “Jose got a step behind Butler, and Cam [Blackmon] came over to

At that, Central, which fell behind Joliet West atop the SPC standings and had its 11-game winning streak snapped, still had a chance. The Steelmen got the ball to midcourt and

called a timeout with 3 seconds left.

“The guys did a good job executDon Joachim then passed the ball in ing there,” Thompson said. “We got a to Ryan King on the right side, and nice look, Jose just couldn’t get it in.” he hit Jose Gubbs with a bounce pass.

The first of three times the teams Grubbs had a good look, a turnaround met, in the championship game of the 8-footer, but it bounced off the rim as the horn sounded.

BOYS BASKETBALL: BOLINGBROOK 78, HOMEWOOD-FLOSSMOOR 73

By TIM CRONIN

Shaw Media correspondent

Part of that comes from Bolingbrook’s youth movement.

“We have two of the best sophomores in the state,” Raiders coach Rob Brost said of Yesufu and Cochran.

“I’m really going to enjoy coaching them the next 2½ years.”

With all that firepower, it wasn’t a cakewalk for the Raiders. What appeared to be turning into a Bolingbrook rout became a tight contest in the last five minutes of the second quarter, when the Vikings rallied from a 30-18 deficit to take a 36-35 lead.

It was 38-all at the half.

The Vikings’ rally centered on Jeffrey Boyd’s three 3-pointers within 85 seconds, part of a 20-8 splurge to end the half, in which the 6-foot-3 swing man had 18 points.

“We struggled keeping the Boyd kid under wraps, so to speak,” Brost said. “If we did a better job on him,

we would have made it a little bit easier on ourselves. We really wanted to pressure him and make him put it on the floor in the second half.”

But Bolingbrook shut out Boyd, who led all scorers with 31 points, in the final eight minutes and held the Vikings to only 11 points while scoring 20 itself. It was a different style contest from the Raiders’ victory over H-F in the title game of the Hinsdale Central Christmas Classic, but the same result, and this time with a conference win appended.

“They have a better scouting report on us now,” Binns said. “But Tyler stepped up for us and everybody had a lot of energy.”

One can only imagine how in-depth Bolingbrook’s scouting report will be in advance of the Feb. 10 rematch in Flossmoor.

• MINOOKA

Continued from page 32 WJOL Thanksgiving Classic, Butler tried going to the basket for the win in the closing seconds. His shot was blocked but deflected out to Adrian Paige, who hit a game-winning 3-pointer. Paige missed Friday’s game after suffering a concussion in Monday’s loss at Maine South.

Then on Dec. 16 at Minooka, Central’s defense stifled the Indians as the Steelmen ran away with a 46-21 victory.

“This was a big win,” Butler said.

“Ever since they embarrassed us on our court, we wanted payback, and we got it.”

“This is a tough place to play, and they [Steelmen] have been the hottest team in the state of Illinois,” Tanaka said. “To be honest, we shot horribly most of the night, but we did a good job defensively and knocked down some big shots in the fourth quarter.”

Butler scored the final six points of the third quarter – on a 3-pointer with 2:24 on the clock and a three-point play with 7 seconds to go. Those were Minooka’s only points of the quarter and narrowed the Indians’ deficit from 2416 to 24-22.

Through three quarters, Minooka was 7 of 27 from the floor, 25.9 percent, and 2 of 13 from 3-point range. Central was 8 of 28 (.286) and 2 of 8 from long range.

Then someone flipped the switch.

Two different offenses showed up for the fourth quarter, making for a wild finish. There were five lead changes

Minooka’s Jonathan Butler drives to the basket around Joliet Central’s Jose Grubbs Friday at Joliet Central. and four ties in the final eight minutes, when the Indians hit 8 of 11 shots, including huge 3s from Kyle Graebner and Antonio Milazzo, and the Steelmen went 6 of 8, including Blackmon’s clutch 3-pointer.

Butler scored seven of his 20 points in the fourth quarter and 13 in the final 10:24. Milazzo chipped in 10 and Graebner nine.

“Jon was really aggressive in the

second half,” Tanaka said of Butler.

“This was a great game to win, a big conference win.”

For Central, Grubbs led the way with 11 points, Blackmon had 10 and Marcellus Hornsby added six off the bench. The Steelmen earned a 27-19 rebounding edge as Jason Bingham grabbed seven, but they also turned the ball over 12 times to Minooka’s nine, only three in the second half.

Larry W. Kane for Shaw Media

“Minooka is a well-coached team with a lot of energy,” Thompson said.

“They stood up to it when we put a little pressure on them. Give Minooka and their staff credit. They got us playing a little too fast, in my opinion.

“Early in the game, they were missing good shots, then we got open looks and couldn’t convert. Add in a turnover here and a missed assignment there, and it all made a difference.”

• Sunday, January 15, 2017

BOLINGBROOK – A transfer and a sophomore made the difference for Bolingbrook on Friday night.

Trailing Homewood-Flossmoor by four points entering the final quarter, senior transfer Malik Binns’ two late baskets and flurry of rebounds and sophomore Joseph Yesufu’s eight fourth-quarter points lifted the unbeaten Raiders to a 78-73 SouthWest Suburban Blue victory over the Vikings.

Yesufu made the biggest play of all, a steal of Jarrett Tribble and a dunk to expand the lead to 73-70 with 2:43 to play.

The Raiders, having taken the lead on Binns’ baseline basket 45 seconds later – the 13th lead change of the game – would not trail again.

“I just wanted to get the crowd hyped and get our team hyped and finish the game,” Yesufu said.

That worked. The big Bolingbrook crowd roared, not for the first time, and once more when the buzzer signified a 13th straight victory against no setbacks. H-F dropped to 11-3 overall and 2-1 in the SWSC, where the Raiders are 3-0.

Binns, at Morgan Park before his move to Bolingbrook, has fit in perfectly with the Raiders. He doesn’t need to carry the team, and Friday night was a perfect example. He scored 16 points, but sophomore Tyler Cochran came off the bench to pour in a career-high 26 points, 15 in the second half, while Yesufu scored 14 and Nana Akenten added 12.

“I knew some of the guys from AAU, but I didn’t expect to be undefeated,” Binns said.

34 BOYS BASKETBALL: LOCKPORT 47, SANDBURG 26

Porters execute well in decisive win over Eagles

By CURT HERRON

cherron@shawmedia.com LOCKPORT – When a boys basketball team has played a rugged schedule and managed to win just one game by more than five points, they’ll gladly take a victory without very much drama, especially when it comes against a conference rival that’s having a good season.

And that’s exactly what unfolded for Lockport on Friday as it combined good shot selection and ball handling with tough defense to help it capture an easy 47-26 SouthWest Suburban Conference Blue Division over Carl Sandburg.

The Porters (9-7, 1-2) grabbed a quick 7-0 lead over the Eagles (9-6, 1-2) and were up, 13-5, after one quarter and 27-14 at halftime. Lockport, which only turned the ball over five times in the first three quarters, went up, 38-23, with eight minutes to go and never saw its advantage dip below 13 points in the final half.

“The first word on our board and all that we’ve talked about was ‘execute’, and we did that at a much higher level tonight and that’s what we need to do all of the time,” Porters coach Brett Hespell said. “In a large way, you’re responsible for how you execute and we’ve been up and down with that.

Hopefully we’re on the upswing again.

“We have to control the backboard and did a good job of that on both ends, that’s a huge key for us. Any time that we can win a game with the schedule that we’ve played is a huge deal. They had the worst record of any opponent that we have left on our schedule, and they’re good. So to get a conference win over a sectional opponent, that’s huge.”

Matt Smietanski paced the Porters with 16 points and five rebounds while Patrick Cooper collected all 11 of his points during the opening half. Lockport also received six points apiece from Chase Travis (eight rebounds) and Jacob Karli and four points from John Meyer. Sandburg was led by nine

points from Barlow Alleruzzo.

Cooper was especially hot during the second quarter, tossing in three 3-pointers, two of those coming in the final minute, including one at the buzzer.

“There have been games this year that we’ve lost where we’ve had the lead, like last week against H-F,” Cooper said. “We’re more focused on finishing games, and that all starts in practice. We’re taking practice a little bit more seriously now thanks to coach Hespell, who stays on us, and that’s what we need.

“I was talking to Matt before the game and we knew that we had to get a big win over Sandburg. When we’ve gotten wins, they always seem like they’re close ones. We’re just happy to get a big win against a good rival. We go at each other in practice, but we’re all brothers and once we step on the court and play in a game, we’re all for one.”

For Smietanski, who scored nine of his game-high point total in the fi-

nal half, this game is important since he has Lockport and Sandburg loyalties on both sides of his family. And winning such a contest in a decisive fashion should prove beneficial for his squad.

“We came out and executed great and were hitting shots,” Smietanski said. “We were doing everything that coach asked and we were running plays and no one was selfish since we were all looking to pass the ball and get easy buckets. We were getting the shots that we wanted, which was perfect, and were putting them in, which was even more important.

“It’s good to beat them by 20 like we did. It’s huge, especially at this school, since the rivalry with Sandburg is gigantic. We’re kind of a scrappy bunch that’s always trying to get offensive rebounds or get our hands in there to alter peoples shots’ and that’s one of our strengths. If we keep getting pass deflections and execute our offense, we’re hard to beat.”

BOYS BASKETBALL: JOLIET WEST 97, PLAINFIELD SOUTH 45

Tigers have offensive explosion against short-handed Cougars

By DRAKE SKLEBA

Shaw Media correspondent JOLIET – For Plainfield South boys basketball coach Tim Boe, Friday’s Southwest Prairie Conference game with Joliet West appeared to be an insurmountable task.

West came in ranked No. 10 in the latest Associated Press’ Class 4A Illinois boys basketball rankings. With Cougars leading scorer Diamond Presniakovas (ankle) and starting guard Louis Garland (eye) out with injuries, the battle at South proved to be impossible.

West (17-1, 7-0), exploded to a 35-7 first-quarter lead and won, 97-45. By virtue of Joliet Central’s 41-39 loss to Minooka, the Tigers took sole possession of first place in the SPC. Teyvion Kirk led the onslaught with 24 points and hauled down six rebounds. Trevian Bell added 15 points along with three steals and junior guard Eddie Creal added 14 points, seven rebounds and five steals. Creal had four rim-wrecking dunks but missed on three others as the ball exploded wildly off the rim. That was the only low point for the talented junior.

“We had a great practice this week,” Creal said. “My teammates

“We had a great practice this week. My teammates and I really shared the ball and played great defense. ” Eddie Creal

junior guard, Joliet West

and I really shared the ball and played great defense. I was open all night.

We’re happy to be leading the SPC. We do miss playing our old rivals in the Southwest Suburban Blue, though.”

The Tigers’ defense forced 13 first-quarter turnovers, 10 on steals.

Kirk scored 12 points in the first quarter, when Creal had eight points and three steals. His back-to-back slams gave the Tigers a 30-4 lead with 1:56 left in the quarter.

“We were really unhappy dropping out of the top five in the AP poll this week.” Bell said. “We came out guns blazing early and kept up our fullcourt pressure on South all night. Always happy to see our young guys get a lot of playing time. It helps us out in practice and is great momentum thing for us, knowing we can rely on them.”

Tigers coach Nick DiForti went to his bench in the second quarter as the Tigers’ lead grew to 53-22 at the half.

Charles McKinney score five of his

eight points off the bench in the second quarter. Kirk, who had 16 points at halftime, scored six points in the third quarter as the Tigers’ lead ballooned to 71-32.

“We made it a point to come out strong tonight,” Kirk said. “We didn’t want to give them confidence. We kept the pressure on and won going away.

A real perk for us is we have a number of people who can come off the bench and do the job. We didn’t feel good about losing to Bloom at Pontiac, but after that loss, we vowed to never lose again.”

The Tigers’ bench, which struck for 31 points, put on a show in the fourth quarter. The West starters and the large contingent of Tiger fans at South cheered the reserves on as they closed in on the century mark. The Williams brothers, Derron (10 points) and Darren (eight), led the assault for 100.

South (3-13, 1-6) was led by junior Kendre Sheperd-Pegues, who tallied

10 points. Joey Sarraco, had a fine overall game with eight points, seven rebounds and two blocks. Hunter Goorsky came off the bench to score eight points.

“West is very good and it doesn’t get any easier for us [Saturday],” Boe said. “We have to bounce back against Bloomington (13-2) in the Wheaton Warrenville South MLK Tournament.

Missing Diamond and Louis hurt, but I really didn’t like our effort in the first quarter and first half; 22 first-half turnovers, I thought it was more. We must play better.”

The Tigers received an 11-point, six-rebound effort from Tabyous Casterberry. Elijah Ward had five points and seven rebounds.

“We had a great practice this week,” DiForti said. “Once again our defense was our offense, especially in the first quarter. We pride ourselves in turning over our opponents (33 South turnovers).

“Teyvion (Kirk) led us in scoring tonight. Trevian (Bell) had a fine allaround game and Eddie (Creal) is our stat-sheet stuffer. Thirty-one points from our bench. I am really happy to see our kids who work very hard every day in practice get to have quality playing time.”

PLAINFIELD – Not many basketball players can say they hit the game-winner twice in one game.

With 3 tenths of a second left in Friday night’s crosstown rivalry matchup between Plainfield Central and Plainfield East, Matthews Morganfield drove to the rim and scored. The Wildcat crowd erupted until the referee called a charge and no basket.

With the score tied at 55, the Southwest Prairie Conference game went into overtime. Morganfield got his second chance with 1.9 seconds left. This time, the crowd kept cheering over Central’s 61-59 victory.

“I thought I had that [first basket], but they called the charge,” Morganfield said. “I got lucky the second one.”

“First of all, Plainfield East made one heck of a play,” Central coach Steve Lamberti said. “I think it was [Brian Robinson]. What an amazing play at the end of regulation to step up and take that charge.

“They’re going to fight. They’re going to battle, but so are we. That’s what we expect, every [conference] game like this is going to be a nail-biter. We had an opportunity to win and we found a way to get it done tonight.”

Morganfield called it luck. Others might call his court-high 20-point performance something else. Throughout the game, Morganfield found a way to score inside.

Central (3-12, 2-4) needed strong contributions from the entire team to earn the “W,” however.

To open the game, Zach Bonomo hit back-to-back 3s to give the Wildcats an early lead. Bonomo totaled 12 points, while Kameron Williams added 11.

Ja’Shun Harrington came off and hit a three, sank 3 of 4 free throws and tallied 10 points overall. Michael Hood (five points) and Noah Sampson both hit critical threes.

“We shot the ball pretty well tonight and we’re playing without our leading scorer [Sedrick Brooks],” Lamberti said. “Some guys have started to get into a rhythm and feel a little more confidence, feel a little more comfortable. Sometimes you have to look at your leading scorer out as a positive because other people have to step up.”

Even though East (3-13) experienced its seventh consecutive loss, the Bengals did see a positive.

Trailing 18-15, Central had the perfect opportunity to score in transition.

Sophomore guard Brian Robinson outhustled his opponent and bounced the ball off the Wildcat. That play helped spark something in the Bengals.

Vinny Tarello scored immediately after, followed by a Robinson 3-pointer and a Scott Olsen basket. Yamani Shareef scored on a long 3-pointer with less than a minute left in the half to tie the game for the first time. The momentum shifted in favor of East after Robinson’s play, but the Bengals never could keep the lead for long.

Tarello scored a team-high 16 points, while Olsen had 14 and Robinson and Shareef added nine apiece.

Justin Smith and Mylan Walters chipped in six and five points, respectively.

“I’m happy with the way some of our younger guys have stepped up,” East coach Branden Adkins said. “B.J. Robinson really stepped up tonight. After he kind of struggled right at the beginning, we challenged him. He came in and started defending like we wanted him to. He started getting deflections, giving us opportunities to get down the floor and in transition. He made a nice 3 by something he created. He got the reward for it. I thought after a slow start himself, he really battled through three quarters for the rest of the game.

“I don’t think that we had the consistency from some of the others.

Again, I have to give the younger guys credit because this is their first varsity experience as sophomores.

“We have to have guys step up, but we also have to do it together. We’ve got to find it. We’ve been in a lot of overtime games this year and one of these times we have to come out on top.

Losing and winning can both be contagious. Right now, we have a bad case of losing.”

After picking up back-to-back wins over Plainfield North and Plainfield East, Central hopes it gets a case of winning.

Morganfield said Lamberti repeats the same message: focus, work hard and it will pay off. The Wildcats work hard every day and now that they see the payoff, they want to keep tallying victories.

“This is an amazing group of guys to work with and they come into the gym every single day and work and work,” Lamberti said. “This is why they do it.

This is why they work, to get wins like this tonight.”

“We’re excited. We’re focused to win more games now starting next game on Tuesday,” Morganfield said.

36 BOYS BOWLING: MINOOKA REGIONAL

Lincoln-Way West beats Minooka for regional title

By DICK GOSS

dgoss@shawmedia.com CHANNAHON – The Minooka boys bowling team has had a mountain to climb all season and has not conquered it yet.

It is known as Lincoln-Way West.

The Warriors rolled into Minooka’s home, Channahon Lanes on Saturday and left with the Minooka Regional championship plaque after posting a 6,495 total. Minooka, which led entering the afternoon portion of the six-game regional, finished second at 6,403, followed by Joliet West at 6,173 and Lincoln-Way Central at 6,105.

The Knights finished two pins ahead of LaSalle-Peru in the battle for the fourth and final qualifying spot for next Saturday’s Plainfield North Sectional at Town & Country Lanes.

Joliet Central (5,842) was eighth in the 11-team field and Providence (5,568) was 10th.

“Lincoln-Way West bowled really well, you have to hand it to them,” Minooka coach Derrick Rapsky said. “We knew we had to watch for them. They’ve beaten us all year, wherever we have seen them.

They’re our mountain to climb.”

“We advanced the last three years to sectional, but this is the first regional we’ve won,” said Lincoln-Way West coach Scott Ullian, in his first season as the Warriors’ head coach after three as an assistant. “We knew it would be a high-scoring day.

“I’m just so proud of our guys. Our usual fifth starter had to go to the University of Alabama for a family weekend, and Noah Selof shot 1,288 filling in.”

Junior Caleb Kirby led the Warriors with a 1,408 total, third overall. LaSalle-Peru’s Nate Stubler

shot 1,562, a remarkable 260.3 average, to win the individual championship. His “worst” game was 249. Joliet West sophomore Michael Grether was second at 1,458, a 243 average.

The top 10 individuals not on advancing teams also move on to the sectional. Joliet Central’s Tyler Theobold (fifth at 1,322) and Providence’s Jordan Chavez (seventh at 1,310) were in that group.

Following Kirby for Lincoln-Way West were Michael Nork 1,314, Selof and Eric Ullian 1,285. Scott Ullian subbed in freshman Cameron Jablonski after Game 1, and he responded with 1,047 over five games.

“These guys we have love bowling together,” Ullian said. “And when you have depth like we do, you use it. I try to make this as much fun as I can, and these kids – and I – learned a lot this season.”

Kirby and Selof both were in the Lincoln-Way Central program last season, transferring because of North closing.

“It’s pretty exciting to win today with this team,” Kirby said. “It’s going to be fun at the sectional. I can’t wait.”

Minooka has four seniors in its starting lineup, and Rapsky said how far the Indians go will depend on them.

“We have to get a lot more scoring and leadership from the seniors,” he said. “Tyler [Koenig, a junior] will get us a score, but it’s got to be all four seniors getting it done together.”

Ryan Koesema led the Indians and finished fourth at 1,358. Austin Schomig closed at 1,290, Kai Devine at 1,284, Koenig at 1,264 and Jon Studer at 1,207.

Minooka led after the morning session. Lincoln-Way West pulled one pin ahead after Game

4, then exploded in Game 5, positing a 1,225, led by Selof’s 278, to open a 116-pin edge.

The Warriors fell to 938 their final game and the Indians were aware for the last few frames that they needed 1,055 to win the regional. They closed at 962.

“We knew what we needed, we’re at home, we should have been able to shoot 1,055, but we didn’t,” Rapsky said. “I’m happy we shot 64 [6,403], but we needed 65 to win.”

Joliet West senior Jordan Anderson backed up Grether with a 1,254 score. Tigers coach Reginald Lee, guiding a freshmen-laden team, substituted through the rest of his lineup.

“We have a very young team with four freshmen, two seniors and a sophomore in the lineup,” Lee said. “We’ve talked about keeping our energy up all year, and today we let it all out.”

“That’s what did it for us, we had to keep our energy up,” Grether said. “I made the sectional last year as an individual, and this is great to give all our freshmen that experience.”

Sophomore Jack Davern, the Lincoln-Way Central leader all season, led the Knights with 1,307 for eighth place. Then came Trevor Amir 1,274, Alex Nolan 1,216 and Steve Plane 1,152.

“It’s been a weird year with kids switching schools, and it’s really good for both of us [Lincoln-Way Central and West] to advance,” Knights coach Coley O’Connell said. “We struggled the second half today, but we held on.

“We have a young team with a freshman, sophomore and three juniors starting and a bench with three freshmen. What I liked about today is we just worried about ourselves. We weren’t concerned with what anyone else was doing.”

BOYS BOWLING: OSWEGO EAST REGIONAL

Lockport, Bolingbrook break top 4, advance to sectional

By JEFF DE GRAW

Shaw Media correspondent AURORA – The state tournament run for boys bowling is all about the place and not the score. Coaches use the motto, “Survive and Advance.”

On Saturday, with only the top four teams qualifying for the sectional, the Oswego East Regional at Parkside Lanes was no exception. With tough lane conditions and very low scores, it was a matter of survival.

Oswego was the regional team champion with a six-game total of 5,872. Lockport (5,827) was second, Bolingbrook (5,732) third and Oswego East (5,651) held off a late charge from Plainfield North (5,636) and Plainfield South (5,623) for the final qualifying spot.

Those four teams will compete

next Saturday at the Plainfield North Sectional at Town & Country Lanes.

Lemont finished ninth, Plainfield East was 10th and Romeoville was 11th.

“We missed over 40 spares today,” Lockport coach Ron Davis said. “It was a combination of our bowling and the lane conditions. We talked about making the adjustments, but as we made them, the lanes were also changing. I like it when you have to make spares. Shot making was at a premium today and that is what bowling is supposed to be. Next week at sectionals is going to be a shootout. It should be very interesting and competitive.”

Lockport was lead by Andy Sims, who bowled a 1,287 series, and Alec Buchhaas (1,229).

“It’s fun to advance as a team, especially with the tough lane condi-

tions today,” Bolingbrook coach Brian Wayne said. “I’m certainly glad we bowled well the first two games. That gave us a cushion the rest of the day.”

Raiders junior Alex Acosta finished second overall with a 1,325.

Jack Baggs from Plainfield North won the individual title with a score of 1,339. He qualifies, along with the other top-10 individuals not on a qualifying team, to next week’s sectional.

“I’ve experienced winning tournaments before, but nothing like a regional,” Baggs, a senior, said. “I really wanted the team to qualify. I’m much more comfortable with them around bowling. Being a part of a team is important and they motivate me.

“The conditions were a little tough today, but I actually bowl in a league here. But next week at Town & Country will be great. We bowl there so

much and I’m really used to that house. My goal is to make it to state.”

Others from the area to advance to the sectional were Jacob Hubbs (1,311) from Romeoville, Travis Oesterle (1,221) and Canyon Covert (1,168) from Plainfield Central, Christian Knowlton (1,177) and Austin Griffith (1,162) from Plainfield South, along with Steve Volling (1,166) from Plainfield East and Patrick Kerrigan (1,165) from Lemont.

Volling started the day with a 300, the high score of the day, in the very first game.

“I have never bowled a perfect game in my life,” Volling said. “It was crazy. My teammates were fantastic as they never mentioned it during the game, sort of like pitching a no-hitter, and that allowed me to just do my own thing. I really didn’t think about it too much. I enjoyed it.”

PREP WRESTLING: ILLINI CLASSIC

By CURT HERRON

cherron@shawmedia.com

• Sunday, January 15, 2017

FRANKFORT – Depth is one of the key qualities that has helped Lincoln-Way West’s wrestling team to be regarded among the top teams in Illinois.

And there was certainly no better display of that than the Warriors’ performance in this weekend’s 16-team Illini Classic at Lincoln-Way East, which concluded on Saturday.

Coach Brian Glynn’s squad got topsix medals from 16 of their 17 competitors, advanced 12 to the semifinals, sent eight to the title mat and won two championships to easily defend their title by a 255.5-194 margin over St. Charles East.

Minooka (170) was third while Lincoln-Way East edged Plainfield East, 124-120.5, for seventh.

“I’ve been talking all year about our depth and this performance proved it,” Glynn said. “This is definitely still a good tournament to win. I was extremely happy to see the progress that we’ve made and how we came out today. We’ve talked about finishing matches and we came out and really did that. We were extremely aggressive on our feet, and it showed.”

Joey Schloegel beat Hinsdale Central’s Liam Drury, 3-1, for the 145-pound title while Kyle Quinn won, 5-4, in the 170 finals over Hinsdale Central’s Caleb Lagestee. Schloegel took second to teammate Jake DiBenedetto last year when the latter competed for the Griffins.

“It’s nice to have Jake in the practice room so that we can help each other to get better,” Schloegel said.

“We’re getting down to the end and things are looking better and better.

Everybody placed today, except for one of the extras, and that just shows how good we are.”

Quinn recently returned following a three-week absence due to a dislocated elbow but he was not rusty following his time off as he captured his initial tournament title.

“It’s nice to be back wrestling,” Quinn said. “This is huge for my confidence. I started off not that good this season and now I have a few wins in a row and want to keep it rolling. We won the championship by 60 points which shows that we’re one of the top teams in the state.”

St. Rita’s Austin O’Connor, who lives in Lockport, won his fourth Illini Classic title with a 19-7 victory over Hinsdale Central’s Ameen Hamdan in the 152 finals, which also assured him of the Most Valuable Wrestler

Lincoln-Way West’s Joey Schloegel wrestles Hinsdale Central’s Liam Drury for the final in the 145-pound weight class Saturday during the Lincoln-Way East Illini Classic.

Award. Ranked No. 1 nationally at 145

by InterMat, O’Connor won his fourth straight tournament title for the third time in the last four weeks.

Plainfield East’s Michael McGee, who’s ranked No. 4 nationally at 120, won his third straight Illini Classic title after beating St. Charles East’s Justin Benjamin by technical fall at 120.

Morris’ Cody Baldridge joined St. Charles East’s Joe Ruffino (106), Marist’s Diata Drayton (220), McGee and O’Connor as champions who still are unbeaten after he edged West’s Trevor Schmidt 3-1 in overtime in the 182 finals. He placed second a year ago.

“I’ve been training nonstop so that I can win the state series,” Baldridge said. “When I got there (the state finals last year), it was probably the coolest thing that I’ve done in my life.

I’m training as hard as I can, so all it is now is getting back there and winning the championship.”

Lincoln-Way East’s Chris Wilder also won his initial title when he edged West’s Robert Noga, 3-2, in the 195 title match.

“It’s really nice here,” said Wilder, who was at Lincoln-Way North last year. “My practice partners have helped me a lot, especially Nick (Mihajlovich).”

Also for the Warriors in title match-

es, 2015 champ Tom Buell fell 9-2 to Ottawa’s Ethan Harsted at 126, returning champion Jake DiBenedetto injury defaulted to St. Charles East’s Niko Derain at 138, defending champ Josh Bohne lost, 20-7, to Hinsdale Central’s Luke Skokna at 160 and Jake Dudeck fell, 9-3, to Drayton at 220.

In other title matches involving area athletes, Minooka’s Adam McDowell fell, 3-0, to Ottawa’s Micah Krueger at 132 and Lincoln-Way East’s Sammy Diehl lost, 9-2, at 285 to Hinsdale Central’s Niko Ivanisevic.

St. Rita’s Tommy Russell (113) was the other champion.

Local third-place finishers were West’s Garrett Geigner (106), Payton Geigner (113) and Nick Skentzos (285), Minooka’s Zach McDowell (126), Eli Mondrella (138) and Noah Boles (152) and Lincoln-Way East’s Nick Mihajlovich (182).

Claiming fourth-place were Plainfield East’s Alex Villar (106) and Anthony Zamora (126), Minooka’s Cody Hoshell (113), Jake Mensik (138), Connor Colbert (170), Drew Gutknecht (195) and Connor Briley (220) and West’s Jake Price (152).

38 NFL PLAYOFF ROUNDUP

CUBS CONVENTION

Ryan leads Falcons to NFC title game The ASSOCIATED PRESS

ATLANTA – Matt Ryan looked very much like an MVP, and the Atlanta Falcons are headed to the NFC championship game.

Ryan threw for 338 yards and three touchdowns, leading the Falcons to a 36-20 win over the Seattle Seahawks in the divisional round Saturday.

Atlanta will face either the Dallas Cowboys or Green Bay Packers, who meet Sunday in the NFC’s other divisional game.

After the Seahawks zipped down the field for a touchdown on the opening possession, Atlanta’s young defense largely shut down Russell Wilson & Co. the rest of the way.

Ryan and the high-scoring Falcons took it from there – getting a huge boost from a holding penalty that wiped out an 80-yard punt return by Devin Hester.

Ryan hooked up with Julio Jones on a 7-yard touchdown and Tevin

Coleman for a 14-yard score before finishing off the Seahawks with a 3-yard toss to Mohamed Sanu in the corner of the end zone with just under 4 minutes remaining, sparking a raucous chant of “MVP! MVP! MVP!” from a Georgia Dome crowd that stood most of the game, giving the Falcons the sort of home-field advantage that Seattle is used to having at CenturyLink Field.

Patriots 34, Texans 16: At Foxborough, Mass., Dion Lewis became the first player in NFL postseason history to score touchdowns by rushing, receiving and a kickoff return, leading New England to a victory over the Houston Texans and pushing Tom Brady and the Patriots within two wins of another title.

Brady threw for two touchdowns, despite two interceptions in an 18-for38 performance, and improved to 23-9 in the playoffs in his career. Julian Edelman caught eight passes for 137 yards for the Patriots.

Maddon still being questioned about World Series pitching moves

By GORDON WITTENMYER gwittenmyer@suntimes.com

Maybe there just aren’t any other questions left to ask, now that the Cubs got their long-awaited answer to that 108-year question two months ago.

Maybe it’s just the last of the pentup, “long-suffering” ethos of Cub fandom finding its escape.

Whatever it is, Joe Maddon doesn’t seem to be getting away from it anytime soon.

Think about it: the man won a World Series in a Chicago Cubs uniform. And, yet, in their first formal opportunity to talk to him and his bosses since then, appreciative fans still wanted to know why he made those Game 6 and 7 pitching moves – and what the boss thought about them.

Enough that the first question to team president Theo Epstein during Saturday’s front office session with fans was about whether he has the same problem the fans did with Maddon lifting starter Kyle Hendricks with a 5-1 lead after a two-out walk in the fifth inning of Game 7 (Jon Lester took

“We do kind of manage along with Joe in the stands, and I’ll be the first to say I don’t always agree with everything, but he’s always got a reason for everything,” Epstein said. “Before the game he had a really strong feeling.

The way he saw it going was Hendricks for five or so, Lester for a couple and then Chapman.

“Which is different. Joe usually really makes sure he watches the game.

He doesn’t like to set things up. He likes to anticipate all the different scenarios before the game, but he’s really big on watching the game and seeing how the game’s going and then managing the game that he sees, not the game he anticipated.”

Not exactly the strongest defense of the three-time Manager of the Year that Epstein has delivered on the subject the last two months.

Maddon, of course, was asked about it by a fan, who first spent a lengthy preamble praising the manager before saying, “That being said, Game 7 …”

40 BULLS 107, PELICANS 99

Butler returns in win

By JOE COWLEY

jcowley@suntimes.com Any further questions about just how important Jimmy Butler is to the Bulls; roster were answered on Saturday.

And then some.

Ten pounds lighter and basically three games lost off the schedule in the last week, Butler returned from a flu that had left the two-time All-Star all but bed ridden until Friday. And in that return? How about 28 points and leading the Bulls to a 107-99 win over New Orleans.

“We needed that,” teammate Dwyane Wade said of Butler’s return. “And his leadership is very important. With this team, with us trying to get to be better, you don’t want to miss any of the consistency from your team.”

Especially when that consistency is of elite status.

“Jimmy was great,” coach Fred Hoiberg said. “He came out aggressive.

Really was great throughout the game.

Really showed how much he means to this team by being out there.”

And continued to show exactly why Butler is an MVP candidate at the mid-

way point of the regular season.

He was hit with the flu prior to the game with Oklahoma City, and tried to play through it before Hoiberg pulled him from that game and sent him home early.

Then Butler missed both road games in Washington and New York, as the Bulls (20-21) just happened to lose all three games in which Butler was battling the illness.

Finally able to hold down some food, Butler returned to the starting lineup against the Pelicans and was an instant impact, scoring 13 points in the first quarter and doing so on 5-for-7 shooting from the field.

“That’s a huge sign of the importance of a player for a team, what they mean and obviously how much you miss them when they’re not in the lineup,” Hoiberg said of Butler and the MVP talk.

While Butler played Batman in establishing the first-half lead, Wade had no problem playing the role of Robin late, scoring 17 of his 22 points in the final quarter.

Butler loved every minute of having that wing man late.

“When he’s making shots like that, feed the monster,” Butler said of Wade.

The Rev. McCullum appointed to housing authority’s board

The Rev. Glenda McCullum is seen Thursday in Joliet.

McCullum, pastor of Kingdom Builders International Worship & Training Center in Joliet, said the appointment to the Housing Authority of Joliet Board of Commissioners is another opportunity to serve.

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

J

OLIET – In November, Mayor Bob O’Dekirk appointed the Rev. Glenda McCullum, 62, to the Housing Authority of Joliet’s board of commissioners.

He did it for two reasons: McCullum asked to be considered when a position opened, and O’Dekirk, who’s known McCullum for years, said he has much respect for her – as a leader and as a former resident of the authority’s recently demolished Des Plaines Garden Homes apartments.

“I think she’s looking at this from both sides,” O’Dekirk said. “Obviously in a managerial role, but she also can relate to what the residents are going through because she was one at one point.”

McCullum, pastor of Kingdom Builders International Worship & Training Center at 1120 Richards St. in Joliet, said the appointment is another opportunity to serve.

“I had a call from an individual just last week about a family member who had gotten burned out,” McCullum said. “She wanted to know if there was anything we could do to expedite the process in getting her relocated. And so I made contact with the executive director.”

McCullum hopes the new Water’s Edge mixed-income development will help change the perception of Housing Authority of Joliet units. People often consider them a step down. For McCullum and her family, they were a step up.

Even humbler beginnings

Up until the sixth grade, McCullum lived with her family in a single-family home at 1610 Fairmont Ave. in Lockport in an area known as “The Hill.” McCullum had two brothers and four sisters. Two of those sisters have since died from breast cancer, she said.

McCullum was the second youngest. Her parents divorced when she was 6. The home had no running water.

“We had an outside toilet,” McCullum said. “We washed clothes in

Luxuries were few, but McCullum recalled when they obtained one: a washing machine – with a wringer.

That meant the family could handle its own laundry in the winter as well as summer.

Before the washer, they relied on a man named “Pete.”

“He had a laundromat on this end of town,” McCullum said. “He’d get our clothes and take them to the laundry and bring them back in brown paper bags. We’d have to fold and

iron them.”

The family moved to the authority’s Des Plaines Garden Homes apartments after McCullum’s mother lost the home. McCullum called the move “a blessing.”

“Now we had inside facilities. Now we had running water,” McCullum said. “Now we could take a bath.”

Previously, taking a bath meant fetching water from the neighbor’s pump, boiling it and then dumping it in a large round metal tub that sat in front of a heater.

“Everyone dried off with the same towel,” McCullum said, “so you wanted to get in first.”

But although the family was poor, McCullum said she never realized it.

Thanks to her mother, Margaret Lively of Indianapolis, now 84, the family had an abundance of love, McCullum said.

Melding into a new culture

Life at the Housing Authority of Joliet brought new challenges.

Although McCullum and her family lived in walking distance to conveniences, they weren’t initially close to their new neighbors.

In addition, the schools had higher educational requirements and McCullum said she went through a period where she was bullied. But over time,

everyone adapted, made friends and moved out and on.

McCullum graduated, first from Washington Junior High School and then from Joliet Central High School.

Lively bought a home on McDonough Street in Joliet and added a space for her beautician’s business – before moving to Harvey.

McCullum landed a job at the former Illinois Bell on Webster Street in Joliet. She moved into an apartment next to Range Funeral Home on Eastern Avenue. A year later, McCullum moved again, to an apartment on Lois Place.

For 18 months in the 1990s, before moving into ministry full-time, McCullum worked for the housing authority. After being ordained in 1993, she helped pastor New Life Christian Fellowship with her now former husband, the Rev. Victor McCullum. In 2003, she founded Kingdom Builders.

The philosophy of her ministry echoes her approach to leadership.

“We’re a small congregation.

We’re under 50 people,” she said.

“It’s not in the numbers. It’s in the quality of what we’re doing. God said he would deliver the city by few or by many. We know it doesn’t take a whole lot of people to do what he needs to do. We have a loving congregation. We’ve been faithful.”

Mini-stroke may signal health issue Dear Doctor: While my wife and I were working in the garden, she got dizzy and couldn’t understand what I was saying.

It went away after a few minutes, but I took her to the ER anyway. The doctors said she had a TIA. What is that, and is it dangerous?

Dear Reader: Your wife experienced a transient ischemic attack, or TIA. Also known as a mini-stroke, a TIA happens when part of the brain temporarily is deprived of blood flow.

You were right to seek immediate medical help. The symptoms of a TIA and those of a major stroke, which is the fifth-leading cause of death in the United States, are quite similar. And though the effects of a TIA are temporary – that’s the “transient” in the name – that doesn’t mean they’re harmless.

First, let’s talk about what’s going on.

Ischemic strokes occur when a blood vessel in the brain becomes blocked, often by a blood clot. As a result, the part of the brain that is fed by that vessel is starved of blood. Since blood carries oxygen, which is vital to survival, it takes just a few minutes for brain cells to begin to die.

Unlike in a major ischemic stroke, where the blockage persists and damage can be permanent, a TIA resolves quickly.

Sometimes it takes just a few minutes, and sometimes the effects can last up to 24 hours. When the TIA is over, the person feels normal again.

Symptoms of a TIA include the dizziness and cognitive lapse your wife experienced. Additional symptoms may be a sudden headache, impaired vision, numbness or weakness in the face or limbs, garbled speech, and loss of balance and coordination.

The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention classify a TIA as a medical

SUDOKU

ASK THE DOCTORS Elizabeth Ko and Eve Glazier emergency. Although impairment due to a TIA is temporary, the event itself is a warning sign that needs to be addressed.

A person who has experienced a TIA is at increased risk of a full-blown stroke, particularly in the first few days after the attack. However, with prompt treatment, as well as certain lifestyle changes, you can decrease the chance of a future stroke.

Your wife should see her primary care physician to discuss what happened and to begin treatment. This typically includes taking aspirin, a blood thinner that makes your platelets less likely to clump together. Aspirin should be initiated and continued under a doctor’s supervision.

The good news is your wife also can make some simple lifestyle changes to decrease her risk of another episode: • Keep blood pressure under control.

• Don’t smoke, and avoid secondhand smoke.

• Maintain a healthy weight.

• Eat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables.

• Exercise regularly.

• Avoid stress.

• Get enough sleep.

• Limit alcohol.

Even better news: Every one of these suggestions will make you healthier, too.

• Eve Glazier, M.D., MBA, is an internist and assistant professor of medicine at UCLA Health. Elizabeth Ko, M.D., is an internist and primary care physician at UCLA Health.

Sister worries hotel plans might insult rest of family

Dear Abby: My sister and her family recently moved out of state after having lived near our family all her life. Mom and I want to visit her this year, but she likely won’t have enough room for us in the house because she has three kids and only three bedrooms. She does have a sofa bed and an air mattress, but neither my mother nor I want to sleep on them. Both of us suffer from back and knee problems and don’t want to be uncomfortable.

Would it be rude if we stayed at a hotel? We have never stayed with her family before, so we’re not sure if they would be upset. What is the proper etiquette here? – Puzzled Guest Dear Puzzled: Call your sister around the time you’re planning to visit, and tell her how much you both are looking forward to seeing her. Then ask if there are any hotels or motels nearby, making

BE A GOOD

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips sure to explain that you and your mother plan to stay in one because your physical problems prevent either of you from sleeping comfortably on a sofa bed or an air mattress. To do that is not insulting, and it may take the pressure of “entertaining” off your sister’s shoulders, because with three children, I’m sure she’s plenty busy.

Dear Abby: I had a relationship with a man who was introduced by a family friend. Our relationship lasted a month before he ended it without giving me a reason. I went on with my life.

A year later, he sent me a message asking how I was and what was happen-

NEIGHBOR

ing in my life. I was caught by surprise because I thought he had forgotten about me. I replied casually, and the conversation continues.

He knows about my plans to work abroad. He says he supports them and would like to send money to help me start, but he wants to keep it a secret and asked me to promise not to tell anybody. Is it OK to accept his offer? –

Tempted In The Philippines Dear Tempted: I vote no. Unless you

fully understand why your benefactor wants to keep his generosity hush-hush, I don’t think you should accept. Keep your guard up and the relationship casual until you know a lot more about him – like whether the man is married, because I’m wondering if he may be.

When something seems too good to be true, it usually is.

Dear Abby: I have read letters in your

Volunteer.

column with suggestions for how to be a good wife, daughter-in-law, etc. Would you please give me some suggestions for how to be a good former wife? I know things like not attacking the present wife, but when we are at family functions, what am I required to do? –

Ex-Wife Etiquette Dear Ex-Wife: Good manners dictate

you act like a lady. Not all divorces are friendly, but if you exhibit hostility, it will make everyone at the gathering uncomfortable. Give a pleasant greeting when you see your ex. If relations are cordial, make conversation. If not, then occupy yourself with others. And when the party is over, say a pleasant goodbye. I think that about covers it.

SUNDAY HOROSCOPE

By EUGENIA LAST

Newspaper Enterprise Association TODAY – You can make progressive financial moves by incorporating creative plans to lower your overhead. Sport a new look or get involved in an activity that will keep you in tiptop shape. Make money, health and legal matters a priority. Self-awareness will encourage better relationships with loved ones.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Don’t worry about change when you should be concentrating on your performance and ability to get things done. Your gut feeling will not mislead you. Romance will improve your life.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Listen, be patient and consider ways that you can help or contribute.

Finding solutions is a much better way to offer help than giving a cash donation.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Don’t sit back stewing over a situation that needs your attention. If you bring matters out into the open, you will discover that you aren’t alone in wanting to bring about positive change.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Don’t let uncertainty set in and hold you back. If you don’t know something, ask questions and verify what you believe to be true.

Discipline and hard work will pay off.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – What you get back will depend on what you put out. Collaborate, offer assistance and share your knowledge and experience with people you feel have something to offer you.

Romance will brighten up your day.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Carefully inch your way from one situation to the next and you may avoid getting dragged into an uncomfortable position.

Honesty and mindfulness are favored when dealing with domestic matters.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – A day trip will help clear up unfinished business or encourage you to take responsibility for something or someone who has helped you in the past. Romance will enhance your life.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – You’ll feel restricted if you have been overspending. Tally up the damage you incurred and set a plan to lower your overhead.

Discipline will help improve your health and financial well-being.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Improve your personal

relationships. Plan a family night or make a romantic gesture. Activities that bring you and your loved ones closer together will have an impact on the way you move forward.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Listen to what others are saying, but don’t be too quick to participate in a discussion that appeals to your emotional vulnerability.

Make decisions based on facts.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Time spent at home will ease your stress and bring you closer to someone you love. A personal or physical change you recently made will start to show its benefits.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Emotional situations will be influenced by false information. Ask questions and refrain from making changes based on what others do or say. Trust in facts, not in fiction.

To end the week, the defense that won the Richard Freeman Junior Deal of the Year award from the International Bridge Press Association. First, look only at the West hand and the auction. What would you have led against three spades?

South’s bidding was a tad undisciplined. The Law of Total Tricks advises against bidding to the three-level with only an eight-card fit (unless you have a double fit). Here, three diamonds would have been defeated if South had cashed two spades, then shifted to a low club.

The deal occurred during the World Youth Teams Championship in Italy, in the last session of the Youngsters (under 20) final between Italy and the Netherlands. The match went to Italy, but this was the most interesting deal.

At the other table, the Italian West led the diamond ace (as would we all), then switched to the spade 10 ... too late. South won in his hand, gave up a diamond trick, took the next spade with his nine and ruffed his last diamond on the board. Shortly thereafter, South lost only one heart, two diamonds and one club.

Somehow, Leen Stougie (West) found an initial trump lead. Declarer won with his nine and led a diamond.

West took the trick with his king and played his last trump. South won that in his hand and led another diamond.

West played the jack, and East, Marc Stougie (Leen’s brother), overtook with his queen to lead a third trump.

Now the defenders had to get one heart, three diamonds and one club to defeat the contract. Clairvoyant!
