strategic plan brochure

By FELIX SARVER

fsarver@shawmedia.com NEW LENOX – The Lincoln-Way School District 210 Board has agreed to enter a contract with Aunt Nancy’s Child Care for on-site day care services.

At Thursday’s meeting, the board voted, 6-1, to approve an independent contractor agreement with a company that has drawn controversy from residents in the past for operating rent-free in the district for years.

Board member Christopher Lucchetti was the lone vote against the contract and didn’t comment during discussion.

After the meeting, he said that his position on the issue has been discussed in the past.

On Dec. 15, Superintendent Scott Tingley said district officials sought

proposals for on-site child care services and only Aunt Nancy’s and Mary Sears Children’s Academy submitted completed proposal packages to the district.

Tingley recommended Aunt Nancy’s as the more affordable option.

Lucchetti previously voted against an agreement between the district and Aunt Nancy’s, where the annual remittance of $60,000 to the district was lower than what the board had discussed.

At the Dec. 15 meeting, he said he felt the district should negotiate a proper deal and “make sure that we are getting the best and the proper deal for the district.”

Tingley said Thursday that additional language was in the contract, such as requiring that the district receive notifications of Department of Children and Family Services reports sooner to address them, as well as a requirement of employees to wear badges or other identifications that show they’re separate from district employees.

Another addition to the contract was a personal guarantee that Tingley

described would ensure the district received money it was owed from Aunt Nancy’s.

Strategic plan

The board also unanimously approved the five-year strategic plan brochure.

Tingley said before the board on Thursday that the brochure would show the overall goals and action plans and that the board would receive more details about the strategic plan in the future.

District officials and the community have been engaged in the strategic planning process in the past several months that has been guided by consultant Robert Madonia, a former Frankfort School District 157-C superintendent.

“The plan has plenty of depth to go five years,” Madonia said.

The strategic plan has been focused on several focus areas: finance; building and grounds; public relations; curriculum; assessment outcomes; human resources; and technology.

Some harmless fun with prop bets for Inauguration Day If there are two things Americans love, it’s politics and gambling.

So I thought I’d handicap some bets you can place on Donald John Trump’s inauguration as the 45th president Friday. The props are courtesy of the online betting website sportsbettingexperts.com.

Remember, this is for entertainment purposes only (and never bet more than you can afford to lose): • How many @realDonaldTrump tweets from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Inauguration Day? They’re setting the line on this one at 7½, which I consider too low. There will be a lot of people for Trump to be photographed with, I’m sure they’ve got some promotional stuff ready, and something’s bound to make President Trump angry.

I would say you should be able to place a side bet on what exclamations he’ll tweet that day: “Sad!” “Apologize!” and “Very unfair!” are some good possibilities.

• Time of @realDonaldTrump’s first tweet on Inauguration Day? You can bet either before or after noon

VIEWS Eric Olson Eastern Time, but there’s no way that Trump will wait that long to get started with this victory lap. Take before noon as a lock on this one.

• Time of Trump’s inaugural address?: The “over-under” on this one is 18 minutes, 30 seconds. I’m hoping for over just so Alec Baldwin and the writers at “Saturday Night Live” will have plenty to work with. Even if Trump – who hosted the show in November 2015 – says it’s “really bad television!”

• Bible used during Trump’s oath of office?

The traditional George Washington Bible is the favorite here. However, I think Trump will bring his own Bible.

Something with gilt edges, lots of gold.

• Items of note during the inaugural address: You can bet on whether he’ll

utter a number of phrases. Bettors could cash in if Trump says “Hillary Clinton” or “China,” but the real longshot plays are “Vladimir Putin” and “hacking.”

Let’s hope he doesn’t mention any of those.

The inauguration of a new president should be a happy occasion.

It’s a sign our democracy is healthy, that change is going to come, and with this president more than any other I can recall, it’s really not clear exactly what he’s going to do beyond wall-building and tax-cutting.

But if you’re one of those Americans who still finds our new president too objectionable to accept, take heart: Bookmakers in the United Kingdom and Ireland are putting it at even money that Trump will resign or be impeached before his term ends.

Will County Judge Daniel Rozak retires after nearly 40 years of legal work

By BRIAN STANLEY

bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – It appeared the defendant was used to challenging authority.

Before being taken back to the county jail, he mentioned several issues with the charges brought against him, then started asking different court personnel for their names – his manner becoming slightly belligerent.

“I’m Judge Daniel Rozak,” the man at the bench said in a deep and dry tone. “I’m surprised you haven’t heard of me.”

While attorneys chuckled as the belligerence evaporated, the jail inmates who were sitting behind the newly indicted – some who faced life sentences – burst into raucous laughter.

The transcript could be used as evidence that Rozak – who retires this week after a 40-year legal career and 21 years on the bench – is aware of his reputation as the harshest judge in Will County.

“I think I’ve probably been subbed out more than the average judge,” Rozak said. “There are, I think, times attorneys have wanted to keep a case with me, but will say ‘My client heard all these stories in the county jail...’ ” “The sentences he’s imposed are the same as every other felony judge in the same kinds of cases, but over the years that’s what he’s gotten the press on,” said Judge Carla Alessio Policandriotes, who succeeds Rozak in determining which felony cases are assigned to each judge.

Rozak lived in Burbank until his family moved to Braidwood when he was 9 years old. Before graduating from Reed-Custer High School, he’d gotten inspiration from TV productions of “Young Mister Lincoln,” “Inherit The Wind” and “12 Angry Men.” “I loved the courtroom scenes when they showed live plays on TV,” he recalled.

So with visions of law and justice in his head, Rozak went to Illinois State University – and obtained a bachelor’s degree in mathematics.

“I was always good at math and signed up for actuarial science, (but) got into law school at Loyola,” Rozak said.

After working as an intern with local engineering firms and as a store detective at Zayre, Rozak passed the bar

He served on the Braidwood City Council and went into private practice when he was elected to the Will County Board. After losing re-election by less than 100 votes, he was hired as a part-time public defender.

But 13 years of 80-hour workweeks took a toll.

“I needed two heart surgeries in 1993, and the surgeon told me, ‘Find another job.’ I applied for judge,” Rozak said.

“Prosecutor. Defender. Judge. He’s truly done every aspect of criminal justice, and that’s been a great help for other judges,” Alessio Policandriotes said. “Whenever there was an issue, you could ask him. He doesn’t dictate,

Lockport Township residents protest move Citizens group alleges poor transparency, wasteful spending

By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com LOCKPORT TOWNSHIP – Lockport Township officials celebrated the move to a bigger building on Wednesday with a ribbon-cutting ceremony.

But a group of disgruntled residents was not celebrating. They were protesting nearby.

Concerned Citizens of Lockport Township allege that Lockport Township Supervisor Ron Alberico and other elected officials have not been transparent in the process of acquiring a bigger township hall.

Township officials recently moved into the former Parkview Christian Church at 1463 S. Farrell Road in Lockport. The move gives township government 25,000 square feet of space on the eastern border of the township, up from 8,000 square feet at 222 E. 9th St. in downtown Lockport.

Alberico attests that the former township hall was overcrowded, with records of the Township Assessor’s Office taking up a large amount of storage.

Alberico said Thursday that after voters overwhelmingly turned down in 2015 the construction of a new $6 million-plus building that would have required the borrowing of $2.5 to $3 million, voters felt the township would be better off repurposing a building or remodeling the downtown office to find more space. Remodeling the former building would have cost $2.5 million, he said, and only gained 1,000 square feet.

“We had to do something,” Alberico said.

Township resident Pete DeLaney said that voters did not express a desire to do either of those things, and if anything, they expressed at the township’s annual 2015 town hall meeting to not move at all.

DeLaney has suggested having the Illinois Secretary of State’s Office digitize records to save space. Alberico has said that digitizing is cost-prohibitive. DeLaney said it’s free by the Illinois Secretary of State’s Office.

DeLaney and the dissenting group feel that their input was not taken into consideration. Township trust-

Lockport Township is transitioning into a former church building that is 25,000 square feet compared to the former township hall’s 8,000 square feet. ees approved the $1.1 million purchase of the former church and about $900,000 in remodeling work.

DeLaney said the township didn’t do enough to notify residents this was a possibility.

Because the purchase used cash reserves, it did not require a resident vote, DeLaney said.

“We’re upset with Alberico because he’s not transparent,” DeLaney said. “In 2015, in record number, voters said they don’t want any new building. Then they bought a building. He doesn’t listen.”

DeLaney said he and other residents are concerned that, although taxes may not be raised, more money will be dumped into the large facility and perhaps one day the next generation will be left to pick up the tab.

Alberico said he’s “amazed at how wonderful the building is turning out.”

He has touted the 3,000-square-foot community room and possibilities of plays and post-Friday-night-football-

game gatherings to keep kids off the streets, as well as locating an area food pantry there.

DeLaney said voters have made it clear they want a limited township government, possibly none at all.

He said now that Alberico has led the acquisition of the large building, Alberico is trying to justify it by finding ways to make use of the extra space.

Alberico said he doesn’t want to get political, but he and other Democrats are up for election in April.

DeLaney is not running for office.

“The slate going against us is doing anything they can to say that we overspent or that we did it wrong,” Alberico said. “If you look at the facts, we’ve got 7 acres and a beautiful building for less than half the price of building a new building on 5 acres. We had the money in hand, and we’ve lowered the tax rate the last two years.”

DeLaney also said he knows Alberico, called him “sincere” and said

he likes him as a person.

But DeLaney also said that Alberico is “sincerely wrong.”

As for the ribbon-cutting itself, Alberico thanked: the Lockport VFW Post for providing a POW flag; state Sen. Pat McGuire, D-Joliet, who presented the township with a state flag; Will County Executive Larry Walsh, Sr., who presented the township with a county flag; and staff of Congressman Dan Lipinski, D-Western Springs, who presented an American Flag from Washington D.C. DeLaney said he and another veteran were asked to remain respectful of the flag during the ceremony, to which one of them replied that they didn’t need to be told how to respect the flag, citing their military service.

“We have a right to protest and a right to dissent,” DeLaney said.

“They were so afraid we were gonna cause a commotion. We just wanted to show it’s not all peaches and people disagree with them spending money and not being transparent.”

Zoning board OKs plan for old diocese property

By BOB OKON

bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A zoning panel on Thursday gave preliminary approval to putting the old Diocese of Joliet chancery building back to use.

The new use is very similar to the old one. But it’s the start of a plan to put all three buildings at the old diocese center back to use for the first time since they were vacated in December 2013.

Catholic Charities tentatively plans to lease the entire building as administrative offices for its Head Start program, although a final decision has not been made. Neighbor Mary Ann Barcus said

she welcomed the development.

“That’s an office building. It always has been,” Barcus told the Zoning Board of Appeals. “I’d rather see it occupied by Catholic Charities than vacant. It’s been vacant three years now.”

Barcus was the only resident to speak about the plan, which was unanimously approved by the zoning board. The City Council will vote next on the zoning variation.

Although the building was used for chancery offices for about 50 years, it never had the appropriate zoning for office use. It had been zoned for high-density, multifamily housing. Catholic Charities sought the zoning variation. Executive

Director Glenn Van Cura said the costs of the move are being reviewed, and a final decision is likely sometime in February.

Catholic Charities has moved most of its operations to the new diocese center in Crest Hill. But Head Start still is operating out of the downtown building at Cass and Ottawa streets that has been sold to Joliet developer John Bays.

“He (Bays) is going to put a restaurant on the first floor,” Van Cura told the zoning board. “The second and third floor, he’s going to rent out.”

Van Cura said Bays is looking for a national restaurant chain to put into the former Catholic Charities building.

Head Start would have 35 employees

in the building. Catholic Charities would have counseling offices in the building staffed by four employees. About five clients a day would come to the building, according to a staff report on the plan.

The new owners of the property plan to add additional parking area.

The old diocese property that includes the chancery building was acquired in September by a group of investors named Sehring Property Holdings, named after the old Fred. Sehring Brewing Co. that occupied the site before the diocese moved in.

The group hopes to use the 1892 limestone house on the site as a winery and the John Paul II House as a residence.

D-86 teachers informed not to live-stream Trump inauguration

By FELIX SARVER

fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Joliet Public Schools District 86 officials informed teachers this week not to live-stream the inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump, a decision that has left some parents and community members upset.

However, district officials said students are taking the Star 360 district on-

line assessment Friday and didn’t want live streaming of the inauguration to interfere with the internet network needed for that testing.

Superintendent Theresa Rouse said live-streaming can be a drain on the network.

“There’s nothing political about this,” she said.

Rouse said live-streaming the inauguration was one of the topics brought up at

a regularly scheduled leadership meeting with administrative staff Tuesday.

Sandy Zalewski, the district’s spokeswoman, stated in an email that the district would provide a link for teachers to view and pull out snippets of the inauguration to “use as learning tools.”

One of the district’s principals – whom Rouse declined to name – sent a message to staff stating Rouse did not want anyone viewing or showing the inauguration

by The Herald-News.

Zalewski stated the message neglected to mention student online testing was taking place Friday, and Rouse said that principal met with staff to clarify the rationale behind not streaming the inauguration.

8 Joliet TIF district surrounding

medical center open for business

By BOB OKON

bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Property owners in the newly formed tax increment financing district surrounding Presence Saint Joseph Medical Center can start seeking the incentive.

The Joliet City Council this week approved the TIF district, which includes the hospital and most of the business community in the immediate area around it. TIF districts offer property owners opportunities to offset the costs of new construction or renovations by recouping the higher property taxes levied when a building is constructed or improved.

Joliet Economic Development Director Steve Jones cautioned that people have had some misconceptions about the TIF district, especially regarding how they get a tax rebate.

“Some people are thinking you just tell the city you’re in the TIF district and you get the rebate,” Jones said. “They don’t understand that the rebate comes from improving the property.”

Even property improvements face a test to determine if they qualify for the tax incentive.

The owner needs to show that the improvements would not pay for themselves without the tax incentive, Jones said. That is demonstrated through a formula used in the TIF application.

Jones said property owners should contact him at City Hall to apply for the TIF district.

Also coming up sometime in the next few months is an open house that the city will hold with property owners to determine how public funds generated by the TIF district should be used.

The TIF district creates a pool of public funds through increased assessed value in the district. That money is to be used for streetscapes, marketing or other purposes aimed at improving the economic health of the neighborhood.

Jones said he expects to schedule the meeting sometime in the next two or three months.

Although individual property owners can start applying for TIF incentives, no money will be in the community fund until taxes are collected in 2018.

The TIF district generally is between Glenwood Avenue and Jefferson Street on the north and south. It runs east to west from Hammes Avenue to Republic Avenue.

City OKs Lockport East expansion

The City Council, also approved development plans for Lockport Township High School District 205 to expand its east campus.

The district is planning on building two separate additions to its east campus building.

The development plans outline a 7,500-square-foot multipurpose room addition and a separate 19,700-squarefoot 11-classroom wing.

Discussion of these plans were tabled at the request of Alderman Darren Deskin at the City Council’s last committee of the Whole meeting because of a previous conflict the city had with the district regarding funding for a sidewalk near the district’s central campus.

Deskin and Mayor Steven Streit said that issue has since been resolved.

In addition, Streit announced that the city is creating a Lockport Intergovernmental Committee – to be headed by Alderman Jim Petrakos – to work toward resolution of outstanding issues with other local governing agencies in the future.

LOCKPORT – After 10 years as a largely empty lot with minimal retail development, Lockport Square might be seeing major new developments in the next few years as the city considers tax rebate incentives to bring a Holiday Inn Express and a movie theater to the area.

Tentative plans for a new hotel and a movie theater at the property, located near the intersection of Interstate 355 and 159th Street, were presented at the City Council’s Committee of the Whole meeting Wednesday, with the developers requesting that the city consider rebating sales tax to the prospective tenants in order to move forward with solidifying the projects.

Plans for the 80-acre property, which originally was slated to possibly house a Home Depot and a Target, were abandoned after the recession in 2008. Lockport Square LLC and Janko Group have since bought the property but have found it difficult to get traditional big-box retailers on board, said Jim Purinton, a partner with the group.

The Holiday Inn Express project, estimated to cost about $14 million, is expected to move ahead once the City Council approves a rebate of the 5 percent hotel tax on room rentals, which the city instituted a few years ago, Purinton said.

City Administrator Ben Benson said that the city would rebate all of the 5 percent hotel tax to the hotel for the first 10 years, with the city then retaining an incrementally increasing percentage – up to 2 percent – over the next 10 years. The rebated amount will be capped at a maximum of $3 million at the end of the 20-year period.

The committee agreed to place the resolution for the tax incentive on the City Council’s agenda for discussion and possible approval for its Feb. 1 meeting.

If the resolution and subsequent development plans are approved, construction on the hotel is expected to start at the end of this summer and be completed by fall 2018, said Gregory Spanos, managing director of Janko Group.

The movie theater chain, which has asked to be anonymous for the time being, will consider taking on tenancy at the property if a rebate of

the city’s 1 percent portion of the state retail sales tax is considered by the City Council, Purinton told the committee members.

Benson presented the committee the proposed 20-year plan for the allocation of the city’s portion of the tax on food and beverage sales at the movie theater.

For the first five years the theater is operational, the city will not receive a portion of the sales tax. For the next 15 years, the city will receive 25 percent of the sales tax, with the remainder to be allocated among the developer and the movie theater.

The city also was consider waiving about $100,000 in building permit and other fees as additional incentive for the project.

After much discussion, committee members agreed to allow the developer to formally bring a tax rebate proposal for the movie theater to the committee at a subsequent committee meeting.

One committee member did request that, upon receiving confirmation of the tax rebate, the theater commit to the project with the earliest possible opening date that a construction schedule would allow.

aschier@shawmedia.com SHOREWOOD – The Troy School District 30-C Board took action Wednesday on several facility-related matters, including the district’s long-term facility plan.

All board members present voted in favor of two agreements with Legat Architects Inc., one of which was for work on Phase A of the longterm plan at a cost of $18,000, Superintendent Todd Koehl said. The other agreement was for routine 10year safety reports at Heritage Trail Elementary School and William B. Orenic Intermediate School at a total cost of $8,820. Board member Anne Carney was absent.

“We’re just trying to lay the foundation,” Koehl said Thursday of the long-term plan.

Now that Legat’s involvement in Phase A of the planning process is approved, the district will gather existing documents for reference moving forward and communicate with the municipalities the district pulls from about municipal long-term plans and potential district impact, Koehl said.

The agreement for the facility plan includes two phases.

Phase A is set to run Feb. 1 to May 1, and involves establishing a core leadership committee for planning and preparation in anticipation of Phase B, which includes meetings by a second committee – the longterm planning committee – as well as meetings by the core committee and community engagement sessions, according to board documents. At the end of Phase B, the core committee will draft its recommendations and compile a presentation.

Phase B is scheduled to start June 1 and conclude in mid to late fall.

The board also voted to amend its master contract with Ameresco Inc. to include about $1 million in summer construction projects, Koehl said. All present voted yes.

The improvements will address aging infrastructure such as roof work at Troy Craughwell Elementary School and tuck-pointing at Heritage Trail and Shorewood elementary schools.

Board President Mark Griglione said Thursday that both Troy Craughwell and Shorewood schools are more than 50 years old, so maintenance work is especially important for them.

“We’re trying to make sure that everything is in good shape,” he said.

mmallory@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The Will County Board has approved an intergovernmental agreement to establish the Laraway Communications Center at the new Will County Public Safety Complex.

The board met Thursday morning and voted unanimously to approve the agreement, which has been in the works for months as the county consolidates six dispatch centers into three because of an unfunded state mandate.

The main function of the estimated $30 million safety complex is to be the new home of the Will County Sheriff’s Office. Some officials have called the ex-

isting office overcrowded for two or three decades. But within the new building, county officials have planned to include a 911 administration center and a consolidated dispatch center that will handle dispatch responsibilities for up 31 communities.

Dispatch centers in Romeoville, Crete and Frankfort, as well as the sheriff’s office, will be rolled into the new safety complex. The three dispatch centers in the county will be WESCOM in Plainfield, the city of Joliet’s and the Laraway Communications Center.

The county still is waiting on governments of all communities to sign on, but the Forest Preserve District of Will County also is in the fold.

Once all of the municipalities are signed on, the county can begin negotiating a lease agreement with the Laraway Communications Center. Construction of the safety complex is expected to be complete by the end of the year.

The County Board also approved creating a selection committee for an architect/building engineer for a new Will County Health Department facility. The committee will be comprised of County Board Speaker Jim Moustis, R-Frankfort; Capital Improvements Committee Chairman Ragan Freitag, R-Wilmington; Finance Committee Chairman Mike Fricilone, R-Homer Glen; Will County Executive Larry Walsh Sr. or a designee; a Will County Board of Health member;

an administrative representative from the health department; and a County Board member from the Democratic Party.

On Dec. 22, a request for qualifications was released by the county to draw interest from architectural and engineering service firms.

The board also approved a contract through Nov. 30 with federal lobbyist firm Smith Dawson & Andrews to represent the county’s federal interests at a rate of $8,000 a month.

Presence Saint Joseph Medical Center was honored by the board through a proclamation about the Magnet recognition the hospital received in December for nursing excellence.

By BRIAN STANLEY

bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Rick Mason has retired after 10 years as an associate judge in Will County.

“Rick has one of the best temperaments of any judge I’ve ever seen,” said Chief Judge Richard Schoenstedt, who once shared a law practice with Mason.

• ROZAK RETIRES

Continued from page 3

but he suggests. He knows what you need, gives sound reasoning, great advice.”

Rozak and his wife, Debbie, have four children and eight grandchildren.

Away from the courthouse, Rozak can be found working in his yard, listening to his extensive collection of classic country, blues and folk music or playing guitar himself.

“I’ve never seen him have a bad day or get cross with anyone who came before him. He gave everybody a fair hearing. I wish we could’ve had him longer,” Schoenstedt said.

Mason was raised in Ottawa and remembered being curious about the law from a very young age. “Even in eighth grade, I made an announcement I was going to be a lawyer,” Mason said.

At 16, Mason moved to attend the

Lockport Township West High School, which is now Romeoville High. After receiving a degree from Valparaiso University, he began arguing personal injury and criminal cases.

“I loved the law. I wanted to represent the innocent victim. To speak for those who didn’t have anybody,” Mason said. “And as soon as I (became) a lawyer, I always wanted to be a judge. ... As a judge I just wanted to be fair.”

He also has read several hundred books about Abraham Lincoln.

“Again, it goes back to those TV productions I watched as a kid. You can’t go wrong by following Lincoln,” Rozak said.

After considering retirement for the past few years, Rozak said, “it’s hard to walk away” but the timing feels right.

He does plan to keep his law license with the hope to find part-time work as a village prosecutor or small practice.

“I wouldn’t mind taking a case here or there,” he said.

Mason said he and his wife, Teresa, plan to spend more time at their property in Arizona.

Will County Assistant State’s Attorneys Derek Ewanic and Fred Harvey are the two finalists to replace Mason as an associate judge. Schoenstedt said the Illinois Supreme Court will announce in the next two weeks which candidate the circuit judges elect to fill the vacancy.

“Prosecutor. Defender. Judge. He’s truly done every

aspect of criminal justice, and that’s been a great help for other judges. Whenever there was an issue, you could ask him. He doesn’t dictate, but he suggests. He knows what you need, gives sound reasoning, great advice.”

STATE ILLINOIS ROUNDUP

News from across the state

Illinois lawmakers look into taxing sugary beverages

SPRINGFIELD – Illinois lawmakers may be including a proposal to tax sugary drinks in the state budget.

The proposed bill would tax any drink that has five grams of sugar or more, affecting drinks such as soft drinks and certain juices, The State Journal-Register reported.

Under the bill, distributors would be required to impose a penny-per-ounce tax on retailers. The tax would produce an estimated $560 million for the state.

Health care advocates believe the tax would be a responsible revenue generator. American Heart Association spokesman Mark Peysakhovich said the bill is a step in the right direction in providing meaningful improvements to public health within the state.

“As far as the state’s budget goes,

the fact this was part of the bipartisan proposal gives this issue a seat at the table,” he said. “We’re glad there are adults in the room. For us, and the American Cancer Society, we’re applauding folks in raising this tax – a sugary tax is the healthiest revenue option.”

U of I trustees endorse plan to increase enrollment

CHICAGO – University of Illinois’ board of trustees on Thursday endorsed an ambitious plan from the system’s president to increase enrollment by nearly 15 percent at its three campuses over the next five years.

University of Illinois President Tim Killeen presented the plan to the Board of Trustees at their meeting in Chicago.

The plan’s goal would have more than 93,600 students enrolled at the school’s campuses in Urbana-Champaign, Chicago and Springfield over the next five years.

The effort will expand academic programs and opportunities for Illinois students and minorities as a means of curbing the number of students going out of state for college, Killeen said.

Statistics show 45 percent of Illinois high school graduates enrolled at fouryear colleges and universities in 2015 were going to out-of-state institutions, the university said – up from 29 percent in 2002.

4 suspended for dashcam failures in McDonald death

CHICAGO – Four Chicago police officers who were at the scene of the 2014 fatal shooting of Laquan McDonald have been suspended for failing to ensure the dashboard cameras in their squad cars were operating properly.

Chicago’s Office of Inspector General recommended the firing of 11 police officers in connection with the shooting.

And it proposed suspensions for four officers at the scene.

The Chicago Tribune reported that a police spokesman confirmed Superintendent Eddie Johnson has handed down one-week suspensions to the four officers.

A video from one dash camera showed Officer Jason Van Dyke shooting McDonald 16 times as he walked away from police with a knife. Van Dyke faces

first-degree murder charges.

Last week, the U.S. Justice Department issued a report portraying the department as flawed from top to bottom.

50K people expected at Women’s March on Chicago

CHICAGO – Organizers said about 50,000 people are expected to attend a women’s march in Chicago the day after Donald Trump’s inauguration.

The Women’s March on Chicago is scheduled to begin with a rally at 10 a.m. Saturday in Grant Park. The march through downtown is set for 11:30 a.m.

The event is planned for the same day as a larger Women’s March on Washington. About 200 other “sister marches” are scheduled around the country.

Organizers said the Chicago event is intended to send a message to the Trump administration “that women will defend and further their rights.”

Jessica Scheller is a co-chairwoman for the Chicago march. She said grassroots organizers will rally attendees and highlight ways they may get involved in various issues.

What is Flameless Cremation?

SPONSORED BY

By Matt Baskerville There comes a time when everyone is faced with the aftercare of a loved one. In the past your choices were limited to burial or cremation. Now there is a new innovative ecofriendly option, Flameless Cremation.

The process uses water instead of fire, and is a gentle, greener choice that allows you to honor the loss of your loved one without harming the environment. Flameless cremation does not burn any fossil fuels or release any particulate matter into the air. It is a very simple process that is similar to mother nature’s own.

The result is the same as if you laid a body to rest into the soil, eventually breaking down over time. Flameless cremation just accelerates this natural process. This happens without harmful greenhouse gases, and in fact produces no significant gas emissions, making this an eco choice.

The process uses about 95% water and 5% alkalis, which are naturally occurring in the earth and are completely biodegradable.

Our bodies are about 65% water to begin with, making this a natural process. Service options remain as they would with flame cremation, and can include a traditional visitation with the body present, or memorial service after flameless cremation.

Cremated remains are also returned in the same manner as with flame cremation, however the remains are lighter in color due to not being exposed to the intense heat of flame cremation. Although new to the funeral industry, the Mayo Clinic donated body program has been using this process since 2006 due to the environmental advantages.

This is an environmentally responsible option for aftercare, and also a gentle alternative to flame cremation. Cherish the memory of your loved one while protecting the environment we all share. Flameless cremation is available here and now.

Doctors mull removing tube for George H.W. Bush The militants targeted in the

HOUSTON – Doctors treating former President George H.W. Bush for pneumonia considered Thursday whether to take out a breathing tube while his wife, Barbara, said she was feeling much better after undergoing treatment for bronchitis.

Family spokesman Jim McGrath said physicians for the 92-yearold Bush were evaluating him for removal of the tube, which was inserted Wednesday in a procedure to clear his airway.

The 41st president has been in the intensive care unit at Houston Methodist Hospital since Wednesday, relying on a ventilator to breathe. Removing the tube – a procedure known as extubation – would allow Bush to breathe on his own. He was struggling to breathe when he was admitted to the hospital Saturday.

Bush “had a good night’s rest” and remained in stable condition, McGrath said. “We are hopeful he will be discharged from the ICU in a few days.”

airstrikes included Islamic State members “actively planning operations against our allies in Europe,” Defense Secretary Ash Carter said Thursday. He would not say more about the nature of the threat.

“These were critically important strikes for our campaign and a clear example of our enduring commitment to destroy ISIL’s cancer not only in Iraq and Syria, but everywhere it emerges,” Carter said.

Perry vows to boost agency he pledged to eliminate

WASHINGTON – Former Texas Gov. Rick Perry, tapped by President-elect Donald Trump to head the Energy Department, vowed to be an advocate for an agency he once pledged to eliminate and promised to rely on federal scientists, including those who work on climate change.

Perry told a Senate committee on Thursday that he regrets his infamous statement about abolishing the department and insisted it performs critical functions, particularly in protecting and modernizing the nation’s nuclear stockpile.

U.S. bombers strike “My past statements made over 2 IS camps in Libya five years ago about abolishing WASHINGTON – U.S. Air Force the Department of Energy do not B-2 bombers attacked a pair of Islamic State military camps in Lib- reflect my current thinking,” Perry ya, killing more than 80 fighters in said. “In fact, after being briefed on an unusual mission that may have so many of the vital functions of marked the final demonstration of the Department of Energy, I regret military force of President Barack recommending its elimination.”

D.C. welcomes Trump on eve of inauguration

By NANCY BENAC

The Associated Press WASHINGTON – With fireworks heralding his big moment, Donald Trump swept into Washington, D.C., on Thursday on the eve of his presidential inauguration and pledged to unify a nation sorely divided and clamoring for change. The capital braced for an onslaught of crowds and demonstrators – with all the attendant hoopla and hand-wringing.

“It’s a movement like we’ve never seen anywhere in the world,” the president-elect declared at a celebratory evening concert Thursday night with the majestic Lincoln Memorial for a backdrop. To the unwavering supporters who were with him from the start, he promised: “You’re not forgotten any more. You’re not forgotten any more.”

“I’ll see you tomorrow,” he called out, and then fireworks exploded into the evening sky.

Trump began taking on more trappings of the presidency during the day, giving a salute to the Air Force officer who welcomed him as he stepped off a military jet with wife Melania at Joint Base Andrews just outside Washington.

Later, he placed a ceremonial wreath at Arlington National Cemetery.

At a luncheon in a ballroom at his own hotel, he gave a shout-out to Republican congressional leaders, declaring: “I just want to let the world know we’re doing very well together.”

House Speaker Paul Ryan, he said, will finally have someone to sign legislation into law. Then Trump veered into the territory of the unknowable to boast his Cabinet selections had “by far the highest IQ of any Cabinet ever.”

Just blocks away, the White House was

quickly emptying out. President Barack Obama had his final weekly lunch with Vice President Joe Biden and got in a few final official acts, cutting the sentences of 330 inmates and placing a call to German Chancellor Angela Merkel.

Vice President-elect Mike Pence, in a tweet, called Inauguration Eve “a momentous day before a historic day,” as security barricades and blockades went up around Washington in preparation for Friday’s swearing-in at the Capitol.

“We are all ready to go to work,” Pence said.

“In fact, we can’t wait to get to work for the American people to make it great again.”

Outgoing Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson said he’d be putting on his “favorite DHS jacket” and taking to the streets to inspect security preparations for the inaugural festivities.

He told MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” that areas where inaugural crowds will congregate will be “extra fortified this year with dump trucks, heavily armored vehicles to prevent anybody who’s not authorized from being in the area from driving something in there.” He said there was “no specific credible threat” related to the inauguration.

Trump’s public schedule for the inaugural celebration began at Arlington, where he and Pence stood at attention as a bugler played taps at the Tomb of the Unknowns. Trump’s wife, children and grandchildren silently looked on.

From there, Trump shuttled to a celebratory welcome concert on the steps of Lincoln Memorial that ended with fireworks filling the sky.

The concert, open to the public, offered headliners including country star Toby Keith, soul’s Sam Moore and rockers 3 Doors Down.

Black Americans weep for end to Obama era Jerrod Lemmons and his wife, Dee Lemmons, watch a video Monday at the Smithsonian National Museum of African-American History in Washington, D.C. The couple was among many black visitors who said they came to the museum on the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday to mark the end of President Barack Obama’s historic term.

By ERRIN HAINES WHACK The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – On the night in 2008 when Barack Obama was elected the country’s first black president, many black Americans wept.

Eight years later, they weep again for the end of an era some thought they would never live to see – and for the uncertain future they face without him.

In Obama, many African-Americans felt they had a leader who celebrated their culture and confronted their concerns.

In his wife, Michelle, they saw a national role model who epitomized style and grace with brown skin.

Now some regard the election of his successor as the price of black progress and the culmination of years of racist rhetoric directed at the Obamas – at times stoked by President-elect Donald Trump himself.

“There’s a great deal of melancholy and fear and despair,” said Lester Spence, professor of political science and Africana studies at Johns Hopkins University. “This is a dynamic that the vast majority of black America has only read about or seen in movies. They don’t understand the potential of what’s coming.”

Not all African-Americans are sad to see Obama leaving the White House.

But blacks overwhelmingly voted for the president in 2008 and 2012, and fewer than 1 in 10 black voters supported Trump.

For many, the events of the final days of Obama’s presidency added to the sense of gloom.

With his inauguration fast approaching, Trump took to Twitter last week to bash Rep. John Lewis, a civil rights legend who was nearly killed marching for voting rights in Selma, Alabama, in 1965. Trump said Lewis was “all talk, talk, talk – no action or results.”

On Monday, the president marked his last Martin Luther King Jr. holiday before he himself enters the annals of history. On Friday, he will be replaced

“There’s never been a clearer case, in terms of presidential politics and the general direction of the country, where (Martin Luther) King’s edicts are more pertinent than they are now.”

James Peterson

English and Africana studies professor at Lehigh University by a chief executive who questioned Obama’s birthplace and offended many blacks during his campaign by describing dangerous “inner cities” in need of “law and order.”

Perhaps nowhere was the surreal moment more evident than at the Smithsonian National Museum of African-American History and Culture, where a sea of black faces gathered to say goodbye and to celebrate a history of struggle and progress.

“This year marks the most significant, most poignant and really the most

important Martin Luther King Jr. celebration of my lifetime,” said James Peterson, professor of English and Africana studies at Lehigh University.

“There’s never been a clearer case, in terms of presidential politics and the general direction of the country, where King’s edicts are more pertinent than they are now.”

Some in the crowd were descendants of slaves. Some survived segregation.

Others were too young to have known anything other than a black president.

Many made a deliberate decision to be there on this holiday at the end of a historic presidency.

For black Americans, the museum offers “proximity to black culture, black history and the power of black social movements. You can steel yourself,” Peterson said. “There’s a reason folks will find solace in just being there.”

Throughout the museum are milestones of black suffering and achievement. Watching a video of the 1963 March on Washington, Charles Phillips of Philadelphia worried about whether dark days lay ahead.

“I think we’re going to be in for some bad things,” said Phillips, who wore an Obama T-shirt he bought during the president’s first term. “To come to

a place like this, it touches you, to see what we went through – and are hopefully not going to go through in the next four years.”

Looking at an exhibit with photos of a smiling, waving Obama family during the 2008 inauguration, Kim Taylor became emotional. Though she had visited the museum five times since it opened in September, she cried for the first time as she reflected on the progress of the civil rights movement and Obama’s historic presidency.

“I don’t know if we’ll ever have another black president,” said Taylor, of Capitol Heights, Maryland. “I made a point to be here. I just wanted to be a part of history, to have that closeness with other black people.”

Jerrod Lemmons and his wife, Dee, were in town from Waxahachie, Texas, for the weekend, taking their daughter on a college tour of Howard University.

But stopping by the museum was also important. Being there during Obama’s last days in the White House was humbling and bittersweet, Jerrod Lemmons said.

His head dropped at the thought of Trump taking office at the end of a week that began with King’s birthday.

“I don’t believe he supports us,” Lemmons said of the president-elect. “He doesn’t see value in who we are as a people.”

Sitting outside of the exhibit on sports, he reflected on African-Americans’ sacrifices, failures and victories.

“It all comes down to: What are we going to do?” Lemmons said. “We all have a responsibility to each other. This museum reminds us exactly of that.”

Jewelle Mason, also visiting from Philadelphia, came to the museum hoping, just maybe, that Obama might show up. He didn’t. But she let out a contented sigh that she was able to be there on King Day, savoring the final days of Obama’s presidency.

“It’s nice to know that now he’s a part of the history,” Mason said. “That’s something they can never take away from us.”

OUR VIEW

If Trump delivers on goals people can forgive, prosper There have been plenty of doubts about Donald Trump’s fitness for the presidency, including his qualifications, his temperament and his fitness to lead the free world.

With a recent CNN poll showing Trump about to enter office with a historically low public approval rating, it is clear that others share those concerns.

Trump, as he has persisted in using Twitter to lash out at anyone who attacks or angers him, has done little to assuage those concerns.

However, on Friday, Trump will be sworn in as our nation’s 45th president.

Although his methods have been unorthodox and at times grating, if he succeeds in accomplishing some of his goals, Americans will be better off.

Trump has vowed to make better deals for America, to speak for the forgotten man and pressure American companies into bringing and keeping jobs in this country. Changes to the tax code that would lower business tax rates to 15 percent while eliminating most deductions and applying a 10 percent tax on profits held off-shore that are returned to the U.S. are part of this equation.

Another part is increased spending on America’s infrastructure and a potentially problematic pledge to slap a 35 percent tariff on vehicles and some other imported goods.

Trump also has pledged to repeal some federal regulations on business to enable economic expansion.

In all, he pledges to create an economic growth rate of 3.5 to 4 percent a year and create 25 million new jobs in the next decade.

After seven years of fee-

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

ble economic growth after the Great Recession’s end in 2009, we are eager for a real economic expansion.

If Trump can deliver it, we suspect that most working people will be willing to look past the things he writes on Twitter.

Trump also has pledged to make immigration reforms that will secure our borders and our safety.

His Day One pledge to build a wall and make Mexico pay for it is clearly part of this – though it seems both unnecessary and simplistic when compared with real legislative reforms that could address the problem, which is far more complex than simply keeping outsiders from sneaking in.

He also proposes more limits on immigration and more instances where people can be deported, a stop on immigration from countries that “export terror” and a plan to bolster the country’s defenses against cyber-attacks. There is also his recent promise to repeal the Affordable Care Act and still offer “insurance for everybody,” a pledge that is at odds with Republicans in Congress.

Many more of Trump’s positions on a range of topics are available online at donaldjtrump.com/positions.

As we brace for four years of a Trump presidency, we are almost certain there will be more cringe-worthy moments.

However, the American people wanted a political outsider who could deliver results.

If Trump turns out to be as effective as he is unorthodox, we will be better off.

As his fortunes are tied, in some ways, to that of our nation at large, we hope for his success.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Global warming is very real, Christian or not

Dear Editor: Regarding Randy Katro’s letter “Why global warming is a hoax,” I don’t imagine there is anything I could say that would change Mr. Katro’s mind, nor should it when his beliefs are grounded in religious faith.

But let’s remember that the overwhelming majority of Christian scholars and leaders do not share his interpretation of God’s word.

Most of them agree with the overwhelming majority of scientists that global warming as a result of man’s activities is quite real.

Mr. Katro accuses “science” itself of lying to him, and recites the oft-circulated theory that scientists have invented climate change to get research funding.

Really? That would greatly amuse many of them. Let’s pose this question. Who is more likely to get rich: the climate scientist trekking over frozen Greenland year after year trying to understand what’s happening to the polar ice sheets, or the oil industry lobbyist surfing the D.C. cocktail party circuit?

This slander of men and women who have dedicated their lives to understanding how the world works is a falsehood, just like the myth that scientists “in the ‘60s” warned of an imminent ice age. No such claim was ever made.

Before Mr. Katro levels more accusations at his fellow Americans, perhaps he should check his sources, and also – since he takes solace in the wisdom of God as revealed in scripture – take a look at Exodus 20:16, which states, “You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.”

After the coffee vendor closed on Dec. 30, the doors of the Metra station were locked.

Commuters could not go inside the station to escape the bitter cold days which we have been having.

A call to Jodi in the mayor’s office was all it took to get the doors open so we now have a warm place to wait for the train.

I can assure you that all the Lockport commuters appreciate the efforts of the Mayor and his staff.

WRESTLING: JOLIET WEST 36, JOLIET CENTRAL 24

INTENSE RIVALRY

Joliet West pins its way past Joliet Central

By CURT HERRON

cherron@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Joliet West wrestling coach Chuck Rumpf has had his squad compete against a rugged schedule so that they’re prepared for whatever tough situations await them.

And one of those occurred on Thursday when the Tigers faced an improved and fired up Joliet Central squad that was ready to make sure its senior night battle for Joliet Township bragging rights could go either way.

But while the Steelmen earned a split in matches and won the majority of the tight clashes, West owned a 5-1 advantage in falls and had a key close one that went its way in the late going to claim a 36-24 Southwest Prairie Conference win over its rivals on the east side.

“We’ve had a really tough dual schedule this year, and last Saturday we wrestled three ranked teams in a quad, so our kids are battle-tested,” Rumpf said. “We knew what weight it started at and knew that there’d be the roller coaster of emotions where scores can change, but my kids are very good at managing that. They don’t overreact to the crowd or worry what the score is since they know that we have 14 matches to win.

“Central is definitely improved with tough-nosed, scrappy kids, so it was a tough dual, but it always seems that way when we wrestle them. The pins and the bonus points helped us.

When you wrestle a tough schedule, it makes you better and it gets you ready for the postseason, which is very fast approaching.”

After it was announced that the squads had combined to raise more

West only won two of the initial seven matches but trailed just 16-12 at the midpoint thanks to getting a first-period pin from Josh Durrly in the opener at 145 and then another fall from Jonathan Pullen two matches after that.

Central countered with a 1-0 win from Santos Gonzalez over Chris Meza at 152, a 5-4 victory from Keandre Wi-

ley over Jacob Aharrah at 170, and an 8-5 triumph from Juan Ibarra over Joshua Escobedo at 182.

After Isaiah Davis won, 14-6, over Alex Luedke at 195 to give the Steelmen a 13-12 lead, Jeremy Fennewald followed with a 4-2 victory over Cody Holford at 220 to put the hosts up by four points halfway through the meet.

“West has a nice, mature squad that did some good stuff, and they took care of business by getting the bonus points,” Steelmen coach Gard-

ner Coughlen said. “We had a guy step up at 182, and that was awesome since our starter’s out. And we had some other people who did some really nice things.

“Our guys are doing great. I was really proud of them, and I liked the fire that we had. They got fired up for this one and they rose to the occasion.

I told them to do their job, and a lot of them did just that.”

Hastings hit a short turnaround shot with a second left in regulation to tie district and SouthWest Suburban Red rival Lincoln-Way Central, at 61, and force overtime. The Warriors then made 10 of 12 free throws in the extra session and delivered a decisive defensive play in the closing seconds to escape with a 71-69 victory.

“I was really nervous,” Atsinger said of the final play in regulation. “I knew I had to get the ball out of my hands, and I saw Tara wide open. When she made the shot, I thought, ‘Oh, my God, this is really happening.’ ” “I just had to put it up,” Hastings said.

Then in overtime, Atsinger made five of six free throws and Taylor Gugliuzza hit four straight to help the Warriors to a 71-66 lead with 34 seconds left.

However, Knights sophomore forward Abi Baumgartner put in a rebound, was fouled and completed the three-point play with 17 seconds remaining.

A West turnover later, and the Knights had a chance with 15 seconds to go. First, Warriors coach Ryan White switched from the high 2-3 zone that he had played all night to a man-to-man, and Central got a timeout with 10 seconds remaining. The Warriors returned to zone, and the Knights (11-11, 4-3) tried to throw a pass inside. But West’s Stephanie Athanasoulis deflected it – intentionally – to Gugliuzza, and the Warriors were able to run out the clock.

“We knew they had to try to get the ball inside,” Athanasoulis said. “When I saw it coming, I knew I just had to tip it to Taylor.”

“All I had to do was catch the ball,” Gugliuzza said.

Central, which lost to West (19-4, 5-1) in December, led, 30-23, at halftime, 4436 late in the third quarter and 60-57 with 18 seconds left in regulation. After Atsinger scored on a driving layup with 11 to go to make it 60-59, the Knights’ Haley Ragland made 1 of 2 free throws with :09 to go. Athanasoulis rebounded the miss, and Atsinger got the ball down the floor and hit Hastings for the game-tying basket.

“There were a lot of positives to come out of this game for us,” Central coach Dave Campanile said. “I am a little sick of talking about moral victories.

We’re looking to turn the corner and

“We had a great game plan and the kids executed it. We were in full denial on all three of their shooters. We wanted their other people to try to beat us.

We wanted to take the three out of their game and take away their transition game. We did those things, and we shot better than they did for the most part.”

Central made 11 of 29 from 3-point range to West’s 4 of 10. Baumgartner, a force inside for the Knights, finished with 23 points and 10 rebounds. Guard Colleen Barrett chipped in 20 points before fouling out with 57 seconds left in overtime. She was 6 of 13 from 3-point land. Hayley Papoccia nailed five 3-pointers for 15 points.

“It seemed like they didn’t miss a shot,” Gugliuzza said of the Knights.

“They were lights out,” Atsinger said.

Atsinger led the Warriors with 22 points, scoring 16 after halftime.

Athanasoulis contributed 18 on 7 of 10 shooting, including 4 of 6 from 3-point range. She made two huge threes early in the fourth quarter as the Knights battled back into it. Courtney O’Donnell closed with 16 points inside, plus eight rebounds.

“I was lucky enough to get open, but I couldn’t make any shots without

my teammates getting me the ball,” Athanasoulis said.

“We’ve had a lot of games with double-digit leads,” West coach Ryan White noted. “We needed a game like this, with this pressure all the way through.

“We played zone because they’re a tough matchup with their size. Normally they are an inside-out team. Tonight they got it done from outside.”

Even though Hastings had not been shooting often Thursday, she averages close to 10 points, and White said her hitting the shot that forced overtime was no surprise.

“One of our biggest strengths is our shooters,” he said. “We’ve had six different people lead us in scoring. Tara is only a sophomore, but this is her second year on the varsity.”

After Hastings’ heroics, Central scored the first five points in overtime to lead, 66-61. However, West turned up the defensive pressure, forced a few turnovers and went on a 10-0 run to lead, 71-66.

Of course, it still wasn’t over. Not on this night.

“Intense,” Atsinger said. “That’s the best word for this game.”

YOUTH BOXING

Silver Gloves Nationals next up for young boxer

By DICK GOSS

dgoss@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Joseph “Jo Jo” Awinongya is only 9 years old, yet he has a chance to be an Olympic boxer some day.

If that’s what he wants.

Awinongya, a fourth-grader at Farragut Elementary School, will represent Joliet and Illinois in the Silver Gloves National Tournament Feb. 2-4 in Independence, Missouri, outside Kansas City. His father, also Joseph Awinongya, a former professional fighter from Ghana, is his son’s trainer and confidant. They train at Chicago Sports & Fitness Club in Joliet.

What is striking during a conversation with father and son is how well grounded Jo Jo is, how he takes the adulation he receives in stride and how he has priorities in order.

“He started wrestling when he was 2,” Joseph said. “When he was 4, he said, ‘Daddy, I want to box.’ I told him, ‘You don’t want to do that, it’s hard.’

But he wanted it, and he’s doing very well up to now.”

In Joseph’s opinion – and he reminds over and over that he has been

in boxing all his life – the big mistake many fathers and trainers make is having youths fight too frequently.

Jo Jo has had 13 bouts. That’s plenty to this point.

“People see this kid fight, and they don’t believe he is a 9-year-old who has had 13 fights in his life,” Joseph said.

“When we go to the big tournaments, everyone just runs to Joseph.”

Why is that? Jo Jo shrugged and responded, “It just happens.”

Jo Jo competed in the Junior Olympics Nationals at Dallas last summer.

He lost to a fighter Joseph learned was 11 years old, 24 months older than his son.

“He asked me, ‘Daddy, why am I fighting a kid who is 11?,’ ” Joseph said. “I called the Junior Olympics and asked them about it, and they did not have an answer.

“He did real well there. He lost to a kid who was more physically developed and had 50 fights to his nine, but Jo Jo definitely was the smarter boxer.”

The secret, Joseph said, is in the training.

“The big thing is training to do the right things, not only for the skills in

the ring, but the skills that will make him successful in life,” he said.

Jo Jo is a straight-A student and there is nothing more important in his life than school.

“We have a points things in class,” he said. “I always was first, but a friend of mine is ahead of me now. I haven’t been getting that many points because I sit far away from the computer.”

Don’t be surprised if he finds a way to rectify that.

“I boxed all my life, but you can’t fight all your life,” said Joseph, who was signed to a professional contract

by Don King and compiled a 12-9-5 record with three knockouts as a cruiserweight known as “The African Assassin.”

“I would choose education over boxing if I had it to do over,” Joseph continued. “Education did not mean anything to me when I was young. I don’t want to do that to Joseph or to any of the other kids I train here.

I want them all to know education comes first.”

Jo Jo said it is important to win as many fights as possible at the Silver Gloves Nationals, a trip Joseph said

is helped make possible by sponsors such as Hawk Chevrolet Cadillac of Joliet, Aschinberg Pediatrics and Good Shepherd Heating & Coolings, among others.

His dad said he has a chance to do very well, perhaps win his division.

What Jo Joe feels in his heart is he will do his best.

“I’m a little anxious, but I’m not nervous about going,” he said.

He has his training to fall back on.

“He can come in here and run two hours straight if he want to,” Joseph said. “He is that dedicated. He likes challenges, too. The kids here will be jumping rope, and he will want to make it a competition.”

Dad and son have created a video about their relationship.

“We’re doing a video about a father-son relationship and boxing,” Joseph said. “We put it together after the Junior Olympics. Jo Jo spoke through the whole video.

“We plan to put it in all the libraries in the state. It’s a good story. I think a boy’s relationship with his father is important.”

Boxing matters, and there is so much more.

Respect abounds as Patriots host Steelers in AFC title game

By KYLE HIGHTOWER The Associated Press

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – There are few things that Bill Belichick respects more than history in the NFL. And few teams elicit as much praise from the Patriots coach as the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Part of it is the reverence that Belichick holds for the way Steelers founder Art Rooney and his family has operated a franchise that’s remained among the league’s best, winning multiple Super Bowl titles more than 30 years apart. It is a model emulated when Robert Kraft bought the Patriots in 1994 and six years later hired Belichick, who has nurtured a “Patriots Way” that has helped bring four Lombardi trophies to New England.

Those histories will collide when two of the most successful programs of the 2000s meet in Sunday’s AFC championship game.

“They’ve been tough to deal with going all the way back to coach (Chuck) Noll in the ’70s,” Belichick said. “They were pretty consistently tough to deal with through that entire period of time, which has been all of my years in the league.”

Either New England or Pittsburgh has been a part of nine of the 17 Super Bowls since 2000, winning six champi-

“They have a lot of wins over there,” Patriots receiver Julian Edelman said.

“It’s nothing but respect for the Steelers. I went to school in Steelers Country over in Kent State. Half the school was in a Steelers jersey. I’ve known about that whole faithful for a while now.”

But for all their individual success-

es, the teams have met only four times in the playoffs. The Patriots have won three of those matchups, including the last two in the AFC title games in 2005 and 2002 at Heinz Field. Both times New England went on to win the Super Bowl.

Pittsburgh quarterback Ben Roethlisberger has been a part of both of the

Steelers’ recent championships, but the 34-year-old’s only playoff meeting with the Patriots was the 2005 loss when he was a rookie.

He has spoken often about his respect for the Patriots and Tom Brady , which included him requesting a jersey from Brady before to Pittsburgh’s loss to New England back in October. Big Ben missed that game because of knee surgery. This is the latest opportunity to play in “the lion’s den,” he said.

“They are the best in the world,” Roethlisberger said. “They are the gold standard, if you will. So you want to have that opportunity to go up to play the best.”

Brady is 6-2 in head-to-head matchups with Roethlisberger, but Roethlisberger didn’t play in the Patriots’ Week 7 win in Pittsburgh because he was recovering from surgery on his left knee.

Including the two playoff wins, Brady is 9-2 overall against Pittsburgh, including a 4-0 record at home. Roethlisberger is 3-6 all time against New England. History aside, Brady said he is expecting to get the best from Pittsburgh, which started the season 4-5 but has won its last nine. “(Roethlisberger’s) been a leader for that team for a long time, and they’ve won a lot of games with him behind the center,” Brady said. “It’s going to be a great game.”

Area investors still working to keep Raiders in Oakland Bears hire 3

By PAUL ELIAS assistant coaches The Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO – Oakland civic leaders and deep-pocketed investors fighting to keep the Raiders from moving insist they still are in the game despite team owner Mark Davis formally applying to the NFL to relocate to Las Vegas.

A local investment group that includes Hall of Famer Ronnie Lott said Thursday it continues to negotiate with government officials, the team and the NFL to build a $1.25 billion, 55,000-seat stadium in Oakland.

“We are in this game, and we are playing to win,” Lott’s group said in a statement. The statement said the Raiders’ filing Thursday was expected and done to “keep its options open in Las Vegas.”

The Raiders have been seeking to replace their dilapidated home for years.

The Coliseum has suffered from sewage backups and other infrastructure problems. It’s also the only remaining NFL stadium to also be home to a baseball team – the Athletics – and lacks many

of the modern, money-making features of new stadiums.

Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf has been negotiating with Davis and investors to find a new home for the team in the city but has said public financing is not an option. She and other local boosters support the bid by Lott’s group to keep the team in Oakland.

“Only Oakland brings the Raiders and the NFL a competitive stadium proposal, along with legacy and loyalty,” Schaaf said in a prepared statement.

The city and Alameda County still owe a combined $100 million for upgrades made to the stadium in 1995 to lure the Raiders back to Oakland after the team spent the 14 previous years playing in Los Angeles. The city and county were left holding the bag after personal seat licenses failed to cover the cost of the $220 million renovation that added more than 10,000 seats and luxury boxes.

The city is willing to give the team 60 acres of land on the Coliseum site to build a new stadium.

The local investors are competing with a Las Vegas plan that calls for $750

million in hotel room tax revenue, $650 million from billionaire casino owner Sheldon Adelson’s company and $500 million from the Raiders and the NFL. League owners are expected to vote on the proposed move in March.

Local boosters argue that Oakland offers a better football venue than Las Vegas, a transient tourist town with no professional football history. They say the San Francisco Bay Area’s TV market dwarves the Las Vegas region’s and that it will cost the team $500 million to relocate.

Haggerty and others also said that a Raiders’ move out of the region threatens to alienate fans who re-embraced the team after it left Oakland after the 1981 season and played for 14 years in Los Angeles only to move back to the Bay Area.

Davis has said the team will continue to play in Oakland until the Las Vegas stadium is finished, likely by the 2020 season. The Raiders have two one-year options to play at the Oakland Coliseum in 2017 and 2018 and are already taking season ticket renewals for next season.

LAKE FOREST – The Bears have hired three new assistant coaches.

Jeremiah Washburn replaces Dave Magazu as offensive line coach. Washburn last served as assistant offensive line coach under Adam Gase with the Miami Dolphins.

Curtis Modkins was hired as running backs coach. Modkins has coached for 22 years, including nine with the San Francisco 49ers. Before that, he spent three seasons as the Detroit Lions’ running backs coach.

Modkins replaces Stan Drayton, who left to become assistant head coach at Texas.

Roy Anderson joined the staff as assistant secondary coach. He has eight years of NFL coaching experience with the 49ers, Indianapolis Colts and Baltimore Ravens. Anderson replaces Sam Garnes, who was fired.

The Bears also announced that the contract of outside linebackers coach Clint Hurtt wasn’t renewed.

The Green Bay Packers’ Clay Matthews sacks Atlanta Falcons’ Matt Ryan on Dec. 8, 2014, in Green Bay, Wis. The defenses surely will be tested when the Packers meet the Falcons in the NFC championship game.

Packers (12-6) to eight straight wins.

“As a football historian and someone who’s loved the game since a young age, you realize how special it is to be part of this team, but also know that this team has been around since 1919, and it’s going to be around long after you’re done.”

The Falcons (12-5) don’t have that sort of legacy to fall back on.

But they do have the highest-scoring team in the league, led by MVP candidate Matt Ryan, and a home-field

edge that really paid off last week.

The Georgia Dome, which will be torn down after this season and replaced by $1.5 billion Mercedes-Benz Stadium, was as loud as anyone could remember for a divisional-round victory over the Seattle Seahawks. Green Bay’s dramatic upset of the top-seeded Dallas Cowboys ensured one more game would be played at the 70,000seat stadium with the big top-like roof.

These Falcons are only looking forward. They don’t care what happened

Butler, Curry, Durant, LeBron, Irving to start NBA All-Star Game

By BRIAN MAHONEY The Associated Press

NEW YORK – Stephen Curry won a tiebreaker to join Golden State teammate Kevin Durant in the lineup, while LeBron James and Kyrie Irving also gave Cleveland two starters in the NBA All-Star Game.

Curry and Houston’s James Harden beat out Russell Westbrook for the two Western Conference backcourt spots Thursday in the new voting system that included players and media for the first time this season. They will join frontcourt choices Durant, Anthony Davis of New Orleans and Kawhi Leonard of San Antonio.

The rest of the East lineup for the Feb. 19 game in New Orleans is Giannis Antetokounmpo of Milwaukee

and Jimmy Butler of the Bulls in the frontcourt and DeMar DeRozan of Toronto in the backcourt. He beat out Boston’s Isaiah Thomas in another tiebreaker.

Fan voting accounted for 50 percent in the new system, while current players and a media panel each made up 25 percent.

James is the leading Jimmy Butler scorer in All-Star Game history and is set to become just the fifth player to start at least 13 games. He said it meant something extra being the leading vote-getter among fans, with nearly 1.9 million votes.

“I think from the standpoint of people enjoy the way I play the game, they

respect the way I play the game and at this point in my career I’m still doing something right,” he said Thursday.

“Makes me proud, makes my family proud and my support system so it’s cool in that sense.”

He and Durant had the highest possible scores across all three voting groups, but the new process eliminated the Bulls’ Dwyane Wade, Philadelphia’s Joel Embiid and Golden State’s Zaza Pachulia, who would have been elected by fans under the old format.

But they didn’t rank high enough to hold onto spots when player and media votes were counted, although Curry did.

Fan voting served as the tiebreaker, and the two-time MVP’s 1.8 million votes trailed only James. So even though he ranked third behind MVP

candidates Harden and Westbrook in the other categories and ended up with the same weighted score as them, he got one spot and Harden the other after earning nearly 200,000 more fan votes than his former teammate.

DeRozan edged Thomas by about 41,000 votes among fans, which gave him the tiebreaker to join Irving, the MVP of the 2014 All-Star Game, which also was in New Orleans.

Perennial East starters such as Wade and Carmelo Anthony missed out, leaving James surrounded by four players voted as starters for the first time. Antetokounmpo became Milwaukee’s first All-Star since Michael Redd in 2003-04.

The reserves will be announced next Thursday after voting by head coaches in each conference.

ATLANTA – The NFC championship is quite a mismatch.

Not on the field, mind you.

The Atlanta Falcons are playing as well as they have all season. Ditto for the Green Bay Packers. It should be quite a shootout when they meet Sunday in the Georgia Dome’s final game, with a trip to the Super Bowl on the line.

But when it comes to the tradition and history of the two franchises, the Packers have a decided edge.

It’s a landslide, really.

Lambeau Field. Cheeseheads. Thirteen NFL championships. Four Super Bowl titles. The snow and the tundra.

The green and the gold.

The Falcons?

Hmmm ... give us a minute.

In 51 seasons, they have played in only one Super Bowl and never won a championship. For much of their existence, the Falcons were burdened with cartoonish ownership, laughable draft picks and horrific personnel moves such as trading away a strongarmed young quarterback in the early 1990s.

Brett Favre went on to have a pretty good career with the Packers.

Favre’s successor understands the significance of playing with such a storied team.

“It’s like no other place in our sport,” said Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who has guided the

before.

“The guys who played here in 1999 aren’t here,” defensive end Dwight Freeney said. “The guys who played in Green Bay in 1995 aren’t there.”

Here are some things to watch for Sunday: Julio’s foot: All-Pro receiver Julio Jones was limited in practice after being sidelined at the end of last week’s victory because of a lingering left foot injury. That’s nothing new for Jones, but the sprained toe still raised concerns about how effective he’ll be in the biggest game of the season.

Jones, who had 83 receptions for 1,409 yards and six touchdowns during the regular season, said it won’t be an issue.

Jordy’s ribs: The prognosis for Green Bay’s top receiver was a bit murkier. Jordy Nelson returned to practice midweek, but he’s still recovering from broken ribs that forced him to miss the victory in Dallas.

While Nelson said he’s still a long way from a full recovery, he didn’t rule out a possible return against the Falcons.

The Packers sure could use him.

Davante Adams (ankle) and Geronimo Allison (hamstring) also were dealing with injuries that forced them to miss practice time.

Dream matchup: Ryan and Rodgers are leading MVP candidates, along with New England quarterback Tom Brady and Dallas rookies Ezekiel Elliott and Dak Prescott.

It’s easy to see why.

• Friday, January 20, 2017

The takeaway from this year’s Hall of Fame balloting is Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens likely will get in within the next five years. Shame it couldn’t be this one.

Because those two sharing the stage with former commissioner Barry Bonds Bud Selig at induction ceremonies in Cooperstown this summer would have been priceless: a photo worth more than a million words.

That way, the next time a kid asks about baseball’s “supersized” era, you just show him the picture, make a serious face and say, “A clear conscience might be overrated.”

In the same frame, you’d have the greatest hitter and pitcher – and shameless opportunists – of their generation, together with the commissioner who didn’t really want to know how Bonds and Clemens and who-knows-how-many-others got bigger and better even as they got older, until it was too late.

Either way, all three will be linked forever. Each played a big role in pulling the game out of a rut the owners dug after canceling the remainder of 1994-95 season and the World Series. They also got rich in the bargain.

The message embedded in the 2017 Hall vote is fewer and fewer people – fans, and not just baseball writers – care to remember how.

Top vote-getter Jeff Bagwell has been called a “steroid apologist,” which might be charitable considering some of the opinions he’s shared on use of performance-enhancers.

Ivan Rodriguez, one of several ballplayers called out by former player and noted braggadocio Jose Canseco, got in as well.

Last month, the veterans’ panel extended the honor to Selig, now commissioner emeritus but the office-holder when the hanky-panky both commenced and likely tapered off. On Wednesday, Bonds and Clemens, punished or largely ignored

by Hall voters through their first five years of eligibility, both crossed the 50 percent threshold this time around, a roughly 10 percent increase.

Clemens finished at 54.1 percent and Bonds at 53.8; most of their peers

who hit that mark, especially in recent years, get welcomed inside at some point.

We’ll never get credible numbers about how many players in their era were doping. The anecdotal evidence says plenty, since everybody from power hitters to rag-armed relievers got nabbed as baseball patched the gaping holes in its Roger dragnet.

Clemens Some players benefited more than others. But it’s worth noting Bonds and Clemens were solid Hall of Fame candidates entering the supersized era, as well as giants during much of it.

If you are looking for solace regarding their likely inclusion in the Hall, it’s this: They might have cheated the game, but they absolutely cheated themselves.

Either might have staked a claim to being among the greatest of any era and instead, they’ll always be defined by the era they dominated – a suitable asterisk to be sure.

For some others, the stain may be indelible. Sammy Sosa still can’t muster enough votes to be the janitor at the Hall, and won’t be climbing up the ranks anytime soon. Mark McGwire’s 10th and last year of eligibility has passed and the veterans’ committees – while giving Selig a pass – tend to have a longer memory.

It’s rough justice, to be sure, but it’s better than none at all. It does a disservice to anybody who played clean, too. But fans have been picking and choosing their way through the record book since there was one.

Blacks and Latinos were excluded from the game for decades. Amphetamine use was rumored to be widespread in the 1960s and ‘70s. Who’s in a position to factor any – let alone all – of it into a mix.

In that sense, the 2017 ballot wasn’t all that different. The voters were simply reflecting the softening position of fans – especially younger ones – on the subject of performance-enhancing drugs.

No one can say with certainty how much cleaner baseball is now. What’s clear, though, is that people worry about it a lot less.

Three local residents are among those marching in today’s inauguration parade.

U.S. Navy Chief Petty Officer Jon Agazzi of Plainfield, U.S. Navy Seaman Barbara Karabanowska of Lockport and U. S. Navy Seaman Savanna Caballero of Joliet will participate in the presidential inauguration parade.

Agazzi is a member of the U.S. Navy Band. Karabanowska and Caballero are members of the U.S. Navy Ceremonial Guard.

U.S. Navy Chief Petty Officer Jon Agazzi

Agazzi, 54, who’s been a professional musician since college graduation and in the military band since 1993, is participating in his sixth inauguration. Over the years, Agazzi has marched and/or played the inaugural ceremony as well as played at the inaugural ball, he said.

It’s always an honor despite the fact “they seem to pick the coldest day every four years.”

“For me, the highlight of the inauguration parade, of course, is passing in front of the viewing center at the White House, knowing that the new president is with the chief of naval operation – the CNO – watching us go by,” Agazzi said, “It’s a goosebumps moment.”

Agazzi started band in the fourth grade and knew by the fifth that music would be his career. He wanted to play the bassoon, but his father had a clarinet in the attic and told Agazzi, “If you’re going to play anything, it’s going to be the clarinet,” Agazzi said.

After moving up through the Plainfield schools through high school, Agazzi attended the Interlochen Arts Academy in Michigan. He first auditioned for the U.S. Navy Band in 1981 when he was an undergraduate student at Northwestern University, at the encouragement of a teacher who was in a military band.

Agazzi didn’t win the audition, so he seized other opportunities: playing for a symphony orchestra in Titay and playing for operas in Rome and Pittsburgh.

In 1993, at the age of 31, Agazzi auditioned again for the U.S. Navy Marching Band and won. He said it’s not unusual for military musicians to have degrees in music – even doctorate degrees – because landing a job in such a band requires a significant amount of education and experience.

However, passing the audition is only the first step, especially with the Navy band, Agazzi said. Prospective

BOTTOM RIGHT: U.S. Navy Seaman Savanna Caballero, of Joliet, will march in the presidential inauguration parade. musicians also must undergo interviews with the officers and meet a certain weight standard, a standard that isn’t modified for older musicians.

“We are all active duty sailors,” Agazzi aid, “and we are subject to all the rules of active duty sailors.”

In fact, twice a year, Agazzi must take a physical fitness test.

“We want to make sure we look great in uniform and also that we can perform great,” Agazzi said.

Agazzi said he rehearses in the morning and works his “desk job” in the afternoon. He’s organized tours and worked in the supply shop. Weeks with concerts may require additional rehearsals. Conversely, weeks with many ceremonies may limit rehearsal times.

But no matter how humbling it feels to play an inauguration, nothing compares to staffing funerals at Arlington National Cemetery, the main job of the Navy band, Agazzi said.

“For me, that’s the most important thing we can do is give back to the family of the Navy,” Agazzi said. “And that’s something I will never, ever, forget doing.”

U.S. Navy Seaman Barbara Karabanowska

Karabanowska, 23, moved from Po-

land to Lockport with her family when she was 13 years old. Karabanowska received her citizenship July 4 while in the Navy, and plans to make the military her career.

“When I came here from Poland, we didn’t have anything and this country helped us with our lives,” Karabanowska said. “I thought I should give back.”

Karabanowska learned about the Ceremonial Guard in July 2016 and immediately wanted to be part of it.

Preparation took eight weeks and included rifle training, uniform inspection and exercise, she said.

“Everything has to be perfect.”

Karabanowska said.

She said participating in the inauguration parade is a “once in a lifetime experience.”

“I’m very excited,” Karabanowska said. “We practiced almost every day for a month to do this and with every day we looked better.”

Like Agazzi, her main duty is serving funerals, sometimes up to five a day.

“Not everybody gets to do it,” Karabanowska said. “And to honor someone who has protected your country – I think it’s a beautiful thing that I’m one of those people who get to do it.”

U. S. Navy Seaman Savanna Caballero

Caballero, 21, had her eye on military service by high school.

Like Karabanowska, Caballero learned about the Ceremonial Guard in July 2016.

She said the privilege of service and the opportunity to be a role model appealed to her.

“I was just always a tidy person as well,” Caballero said, referring to the impeccable standards she must maintain in form and dress. “At all times, you have to look sharp.”

Getting her uniform in order for the inauguration took Caballero a week, she said.

“Even if you have a small string on your uniform and your ship mate next to you can see it, you have failed,” Caballero said.

Although Caballero isn’t certain if she’ll remain in the military for her entire career (“Right now I’m being the best I can be in my job,” she said), she has strong feelings regarding the new president.

“No matter what our political views are, he’s the new commander in chief,” Caballero said. “We recognize and honor that and respect his decisions and wishes. That’s what we do in the military.”

36 Sun exposure vital to vitamin D production Dear Doctor: How much sunshine do I need to get my daily dose of vitamin D? And does wearing sunscreen interfere with my body’s production of vitamin D? Dear Reader: The major source of our body’s vitamin D comes from our own production in the skin. This requires the ultraviolet rays from sunlight to form vitamin D3; both the liver and the kidneys are needed to then create the active form of vitamin D. Those with inadequate sun exposure – including disabled people, infants, the elderly, dark-skinned people and those who live at northern latitudes during the winter – are at risk of low vitamin D3 production, which can lead to a loss of bone density and an increased risk of fractures. Disabled people and infants are less likely to go outdoors, and people older than 70 don’t produce vitamin D3 from their skin as effectively. As for people with darker skin, they have more melanin, so less UV light gets absorbed to create vitamin D3.

So to begin to answer your question, we have to look at all the variables that affect vitamin D3 production: your skin pigmentation, your age, your latitude, the time of day when you go out in the sun and the season of the year.

A study done in Valencia, Spain, measured the amount of sunlight necessary to produce a sufficient amount of vitamin D in those with lighter skin. (Valencia is about the same latitude as Kansas City, Missouri.) The researchers took into account the amount of clothing and the season of the year. In spring and summer, 25 percent of the body (the hands, face, neck and arms) is exposed to the sun, and in these seasons, about 8 to 10 minutes of sun exposure at noon produces the recommended amount of vitamin D. In the winter, only 10 percent of the body is exposed, and nearly 2 hours of sun exposure at noon is

SUDOKU

ASK THE DOCTORS Robert Ashley needed to produce a sufficient amount of vitamin D. Another study compared the geographic extremes of Miami and Boston. In the summer in Miami – with 25 percent of the body exposed to the sun – a person would need only 3 minutes of sun exposure to make a sufficient amount of vitamin D. That same person – when placed in Boston in the winter – would need 23 minutes at noon to produce enough vitamin D. Boston in the winter is really cold, so you probably would have only 5 percent or less of your body exposed to the sun. Thus, 23 minutes in the sun in Boston would need to be stretched to more than 2 hours to ensure sufficient sun exposure. In addition, if you have darker skin pigment, the time needed to produce sufficient vitamin D would be even longer.

As for sunscreen, it can decrease the formation of vitamin D3 by the skin, but again there are many variables, such as how much of your body has sunscreen, how thick the layer of sunscreen and the level of SPF. There is a balance – a Goldilocks zone – between sufficient sun exposure to make vitamin D3 and the risk of getting skin cancer.

Lastly, because our fat cells can store vitamin D for months, you don’t need to worry if there are days when you don’t get enough sun exposure. You’ll still be safe from the detrimental bone effects of low vitamin D if you get enough sun other days.

Pick up the phone and tell your daughter-in-law to call the dentist who did the root canal and ask whether what her husband is experiencing is normal.

• Friday, January 20, 2017

Many of your published letters come from unhappy married women. Some of them seem unable to get objective advice that would make themselves and their marriages happier. I’m fortunate to be happily married (33 years) to a wonderful woman who has a clear perspective. Three pearls of wisdom she could share: 1. Don’t sulk because your husband can’t read your mind. Trust him; he’d like to help.

And listen to your tone as you point out how he can.

2. The way you talk about him to your friends is an expression of your fidelity. Talk about him honestly, but with respect. If you do, he’ll admire and encourage your close friendships and take a sincere interest in your friends as people. If your MO is to grouse and complain about him, in his mind and heart he will feel you’re abandoning him.

3. Be clear that while your husband might say he’d like to treat you like a queen, you’re both better off being equals – partners, side-byside. In our marriage, there is no “better half.”

There are two halves.

It’s amazing how much joy we have experienced during our years together, based on this simple foundation. My esteem for my wife only grows each year – something that seems impossible, but then again, fantastic things usually do. – Peter, A Grateful Husband Dear Peter: Thank you for sharing those words of wisdom because they apply to husbands as well as wives. Partners who treat each other as equals and with respect usually have long-lasting and happy unions. Those who complain behind a spouse’s back, who denigrate rather than elevate, do not make themselves look better or their marriages healthier.

Dear Abby: How do you deal with adult “children” who ignore issues about their health? My 30-something son had a root canal a few days ago. His face is swollen, he has lost sleep and is in pain. His wife has tried everything to get him to get it checked out, and she just called me in desperation.

Why does he do this? It isn’t the first time she and others have begged him to take care of himself. She’s pregnant and they have two other small kids. He has insurance, so it’s not about money. He works for himself and is a high-energy guy and a great dad. – Questioning My Son’s

FRIDAY HOROSCOPE

By EUGENIA LAST

Newspaper Enterprise Association TODAY – Be careful what you wish for. You may be surprised if what you are expecting turns out to be quite different from your plans. Look for change, but do so with a plan that will encourage you to achieve solid and long-lasting goals. Believe and trust in yourself and your abilities.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – If you look at the big picture, you will discover you have options.

Expand your interests and bring about the changes that will make you happy.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Slide into your comfort zone and enjoy what life has to offer.

Working on the pursuits that bring you the

greatest satisfaction will help you find solace and joy.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Don’t let uncertainty get you down. Go over all the fine details of any situation you face and plan the best way to counter anything that stands out as problematic.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Partnerships look promising. Engage in talks that will give you a clear-cut view of how you can work alongside someone you respect. A romantic gesture will enhance your personal life.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Protect your money and possessions. Don’t feel obliged to pay for someone who isn’t putting forth an effort. Take care of your responsibilities and take credit for what you do.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Share your ideas.

Network, socialize and collaborate with people you find inspiring. Together, you will find common ground as well as build a strong alliance.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Stay focused on what’s important to you. Work quietly on your own until you have everything in place. An intricate, detailed presentation will make people aware and eager to take action.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Put more energy, thought and time into the things you want to accomplish. If you stop thinking and start doing, you will exceed your expectations. Doing something romantic would be a good move.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – You should take time to listen to your co-workers or to get involved in industry events that could influence your

position. Keep up with technology and the latest trends.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Share your feelings and build a brighter future with someone special. Love, romance and improvements to your personal life will give you the leverage you need to reach your goals.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Sharing will only work if balance is maintained. Don’t pay for someone else’s mistakes or expect anyone to pick up the slack if you fall short. Joint ventures will be disappointing.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – You’ll have some unique ideas that must not be ignored. Taking a different approach to the way you do things will draw positive attention and interest in your personal and professional circles.

SATURDAY HOROSCOPE

By EUGENIA LAST

Newspaper Enterprise Association TODAY – Don’t underestimate what you are capable of doing or think someone is more experienced or knowledgeable than you are. If you step up and do your own thing, you will be surprised by what you accomplish. Look for a vantage point, turn on your charm and make your way to the top.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Take whatever others do in stride, but don’t let it ruin your plans. Consider ways you can bring about physical improvements using methods that have worked for you in the past.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – A personal promise you make to someone will improve your

life. Discussions and plans can be put in place, and a joint effort will set you up for success.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – You might want to contain your enthusiasm and refrain from sharing personal or secret information.

Divulging such secrets prematurely will create an opening for someone wishing to dismantle your plans.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Sharing your feelings and plans with someone special will lift your spirits and give you the incentive you need to take care of unfinished business.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Work hard and bring about change. No one will do your job for you, or do it the way you want. An open mind and disciplined attitude will lead to victory.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Make relationships

a priority and share your feelings. Make plans that will encourage you to strive for a bigger and better life, without going into debt or upsetting someone you love.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Put some action behind your words and see what happens. Don’t expect to win favors or get everything you want, but you must make your point heard for change eventually to take place.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Get involved in activities that will allow you to show off your skills. Someone you find interesting will want to partner with you. Social activities will encourage new opportunities.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Show a little compassion when it comes to how you carry out your plans. Ask questions and offer incentives

and whatever else it takes to keep important relationships running smoothly.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Make changes at home or to your lifestyle that will help you achieve your personal goals. A little romance or family fun will help build better relationships.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – If you don’t feel right about what others are doing, don’t take part. Relationship problems will be costly if you are too giving or generous. Don’t be gullible when you should be asking questions.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – You’ll outshine any competition you encounter. You can advance personally and professionally if you follow your head and let your skills and experience lead the way. Romance is encouraged.

(We apologize for the misprint in the Dec. 24 column. The Christmas competition answers will be given on Jan. 30 and 31.)

The Yeh Bros. Best Bid Deal of the Year award from the International Bridge Press Association went to Zia Mahmood (North) and Michael Rosenberg for their performance on this deal from the World Senior Teams Championship in Chennai, India.

At the other table, Bob Hamman (East) opened one club, South passed and Mark Lair (West) jumped pre-emptively to three clubs. After that start, the English North-South stopped in five spades.

In this sequence, South’s two-club response was Reverse Drury, announcing a suitable hand with spade support. Two no-trump was ambiguous (a slam-interest two-suiter or a 5-3-3-2 hand that might play better in three no-trump than four spades).

Three diamonds was natural. North agreed diamonds, then used Roman Key Card Blackwood to learn that his partner had the diamond king (five clubs) and both pointed-suit queens (six diamonds). Seven clubs asked South to choose the grand slam, which he did correctly.

Rosenberg won trick one with the heart ace, played a diamond to his king, ruffed a club, cashed the diamond ace, led a spade to the queen, removed the East’s third trump and claimed.

Note that North-South first agreed spades (where 13 tricks are impossible), then played in diamonds.

That takes homework and skill.
