fsarver@shawmedia.com NEW LENOX – Six of the 13 candidates running for Lincoln-Way School District 210 Board largely pledged to aim for maintaining a high academic performance to and improve its dire finances, but differed in methods on how to achieve those goals.

Participating in a candidates forum presented by watchdog group Lincoln-Way Area Taxpayers Unite were board President Dee Molinare and board members Christopher Lucchetti, Joseph Kosteck, Joseph Kirkeeng and challengers Aaron Janik and Robert Ripp, a former vice president of LWATU. The candidates took questions from Kristen McQueary, a Chicago Tribune editorial board member, and then took questions from the audience.

Among the topics some candidates disagreed on were: how District 210 arrived at its financial crisis; term limits for board members; and the district’s deal with Aunt Nancy’s Day Care. Among the areas they agreed on were: prioritizing the district’s high academic achievements; not cutting extracurricular programs for students; and sharp criticism from a Chicago Tribune editorial on the district’s accountability.

On the matter of accountability, Lucchetti said he thought there was a breakdown in financial management and internal controls at the district. Molinare said that she accepts the criticism and that the

“Information was given and we made decisions on it,” she said. “We’ve admitted to some mistakes, many mistakes in our financial house, and we are working to get them in order.”

In a speech early in the forum, Molinare distanced herself from controversial former superintendent Lawrence Wyllie by saying she worked briefly with him when she was appointed to the board and that he “announced his retirement six months after I came on the board.”

Lucchetti and Kosteck disagreed over the board’s decision to approve Aunt Nancy’s Day Care, which has long operated rent-free at the district.

Lucchetti said he was the only one to vote against a deal that he did not think

was compensating the district at the proper amount, while Kosteck said it was not a loss for the district and that it was best for teachers.

All of the candidates were in favor of term limits for board members except Molinare, who said if there is someone dedicated to serving on the board and has “their heart involved,” there shouldn’t be a limit.

When it came to the district’s longterm debt, Ripp listed several issues the district would have to confront, among them the district’s junk bond status and interest rates possibly rising in the future. Lucchetti agreed with Ripp on the challenges with long-term debt, saying the

Police: Will County Board attacker strikes at Mokena library

By BRIAN STANLEY

bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A woman who allegedly hit a Will County Board member after a recent meeting also might face charges for a confrontation last month at the Mokena Public Library.

Armella L. Frankowski, 79, of the 18900 block of Townline Road in Mokena, was indicted Wednesday on two counts of aggravated battery and one count of battery in the county board case, Special Prosecutor Dave Neal said.

On Dec. 15, board Speaker Jim Mous-

Frankowski has often signed up to speak during the public comment portion of county board meetings and occasionally has shouted during board proceed- Armella L. ings, sometimes mention- Frankowski ing Moustis by name.

“I am still reviewing another incident [at the library] to determine if charges will be filed,” Neal said.

At 12:31 p.m. Jan. 21, Mokena library staff called police after Frankowski began harassing another patron, Mokena Chief of Police Steven Vaccaro said.

“She was shouting, made racial comments about his Asian descent and was creating a disturbance,” Vaccaro said.

“The staff asked her to leave, then officers asked her to leave, she refused and was arrested for trespassing.”

Some Will County school districts relying more on local funding

By FELIX SARVER

fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – With a state school funding system reliant on property taxes and other local sources, leaders across the state are looking into new ways to increase state support and make funding more equitable.

Property taxes and other local funding now make up about 67 percent of the total amount that school districts receive on average statewide, the highest percentage in at least 10 years, according to the 201516 Illinois Report Card. That local share has been consistently larger than what districts receive in state and federal funding.

For some districts in Will County, local revenue has increased steadily over the years as state funding remains either low or inconsistent. Reliance on local revenue isn’t an issue for districts because they’ve been either historically stable or generally receive more in state revenue, but some local officials say there should be more state support.

“The state has a primary responsibility for paying the majority of public education,” said Tim Baldermann, Union School District 81 superintendent.

The Illinois School Funding Reform Commission, which was created in July to investigate the state’s funding system, released a report this week with recommendations to increase state support, better define adequate funding for schools and fund them more equitably to benefit less wealthy districts.

The commission stated in its report that there was a consensus among its members that the state’s past method of prorating – or reducing full payment of – state funding to schools was detrimental to poor districts, as they are more reliant on state resources.

The state’s funding system has been deemed by the Education Law Center one of the most regressive in the nation. The Center for Tax and Budget Accountability, in its recommendations for school funding reform, stated the primary reason for inequity in school funding is over-reliance on local property taxes.

Ben Schwarm, Illinois Association of School Boards deputy exec-

“The nature of the beast is that property taxes in school districts and all units of government are very reli-

able. … The state, well, there’s not a lot of trust going on with the state,” he said.

At Plainfield Community Consolidated School District 202, local revenue comprises 66 percent of the

district’s budget, while 34 percent consists of state and federal sources.

Local revenue has fluctuated since at least 2006, from 63 percent in 2006

County awaits grant to fight heroin epidemic

By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Will County officials are nearing the next big step in fighting the heroin and opioid abuse epidemic that claimed more than 70 lives in the county in 2016.

The Will County Board’s Public Health and Safety Committee met Thursday and discussed a grant that will help the county fight the problem for the next five years.

The county was approached in late 2016 to be a lead agency with the Illinois Department of Human Services, Will County Executive Office Chief of

Staff Nick Palmer said.

Federal funding is on the way and is expected any day as it is funneled through the state.

The Illinois Prevent Prescription Drug/Opioid Overdose-related Deaths Uniform Grant will supply the county with $122,500 a year for five years.

Will County was selected because of its aggressive approach to fighting the epidemic.

The grant would help fund the hiring of Dr. Kathleen Burke, president and owner of addiction-fighting and recovery organization Strategic Prevention, to be a project coordinator. Funds also would go toward other parts of

what the county is describing as a comprehensive approach.

Burke’s salary is projected to be about $85,000 annually. Health insurance will be covered by the grant.

The full County Board needs to approve the hire and view the grant documents. Palmer said the county would like to get Burke working as soon as possible because the grant period has already started.

“The opioid epidemic has gotten worse,” Burke said. “We’ve seen the numbers this year, and we’ve had more deaths even though we’ve made a concerted effort to get Naloxone into the hands of our first responders.”

Will County is not alone in seeing the uptick in deaths last year with the infiltration of fentanyl into the illegal drug trade.

The much stronger heroin substitute is widely considered a main reason for the increase in deaths.

Will County was fortunate, she said, to become a lead agency on the grant.

“What we’re focusing on in the grant is communicating to the public what the opioid epidemic is about and how to prevent death,” she said.

The county also will expand community education, work for more grants and coordinate different activities to reduce redundancy.

County considers adding to freight study project manager deal

By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The timeline for completion of the Will County Community Friendly Freight Mobility Plan will be extended, but county leaders believe it will deliver a better product in the long run.

The study is aimed at putting Will County in position to secure big-ticket federal and state transportation grants, but also at addressing workforce mobility and livability issues.

Consulting firm CDM Smith was selected by the county in September to conduct the study. Ann Schneider,

formerly of the Illinois Department of Transportation, is managing the project.

The study is expected to cost about $1 million.

Since the study commenced, the county has been able to secure a $750,000 grant from the Illinois Department of Transportation’s state planning and research program. The Will County Center for Economic Development will contribute $50,000 to the study.

Schneider said her firm still is pursuing a couple other options to cover more of the remaining $200,000 or so.

Monee police investigating 2 deaths; possible murder-suicide considered

By BRIAN STANLEY

bstanley@shawmedia.com Police are investigating what appears to be the Wednesday night murder-suicide of a Monee couple.

According to the Will County Coroner’s Office, Damien A. Lee, 40, was pronounced dead at 10:55 p.m. in the 25000 block of South Will-Center Road in University Park.

Monee police and state police are investigating both Lee’s death and the death of his wife. According to the Will County Coroner’s Office, Lee’s wife

was pronounced dead in Cook County and is being considered the victim of a homicide.

The Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office reported Tiffany Lee, 36, died at 9:12 p.m. at St. James Hospital in Olympia Fields. The couple resided in the 4900 block of West Main Street.

Two law enforcement sources referred to the incident as a “murder-suicide.” Monee police referred questions about the incident to Village Administrator Ruben Bautista, who did not immediately return messages left Thursday asking about the incident.

Moustis, R-Frankfort, said the county was rushing to meet a grant deadline in January, but then the federal government changed the deadline to December.

“We were never going to be able to meet that deadline,” he said, adding that this provides the chance to be more comprehensive with the study and deliver the best outcome.

Schneider originally signed a contract for $150,000 over seven months, which was going to expire in March.

Adding on three months to it will cost $55,000, at the same monthly pay rate.

Moustis proposed renegotiating the contract to keep Schneider on in a re-

tainer type of role for three years. The cost of that was not discussed.

The Will County State’s Attorney’s Office will negotiate the contract with Schneider. The committee hopes to have the contract ready for approval by the full County Board later this month.

From 3 to 5 p.m. Thursday at Joliet Junior College, 1215 Houbolt Road, Joliet, the county will be taking note of community input at a public forum about transportation issues. There also will be a workforce forum later this month. The date is yet to be announced.

In March, the team will provide county leaders with a “more robust” update, Schneider said.

Lockport officials to ‘mitigate’ park’s presence Know more

By SARWAT S. AHMAD

Shaw Media correspondent LOCKPORT – Lockport City Council members indicated Wednesday night that an initial proposal for a controversial industrial park likely will meet the city’s approval because of the rights of the owners to build on property that already has its zoning in place.

The modified concept plan for a 2 million-square-foot Prologis industrial park, located along the west side of Interstate 355 between 151st and 143rd streets and between five residential neighborhoods, has been met with loud resistance since last fall from a large number of residents concerned about increased truck activity and effects on property values.

The Planning and Zoning Commission gave its recommendation last month, and the proposal reached the council’s Committee of the Whole meeting Wednesday for initial review and public discussion.

“This is not about destroying Lockport, but about preserving [it] in a time of unprecedented growth,” Mayor Steven Streit said. “Will County is one of the fastest-growing coun-

ties in the country right now. To deny that is to deny reality.”

Streit said he wanted to see the community work together to mitigate any growing pains.

“You can’t say no to somebody who has entitled zoning, just like I couldn’t tell you, ‘No, you can’t build a house on your property,’ just because your neighbor doesn’t want you to,” Streit told the unhappy crowd of residents, who spilled into the hall outside the meeting room.

One solution the city already has in place is its designation of Officer Vinnie Vitaco as a full-time traffic and truck enforcement officer since Jan. 1, Streit said.

Vitaco told the residents that he has cited many lost truck drivers for being in undesignated areas, and that the source of the problem is old GPS

systems – an issue he said he has been told would be resolved.

John Greuling of the Will County Center for Economic Development also spoke about the need for better quality jobs in the area.

“Bringing in developers like Prologis is very smart,” Greuling said.

“People in this room need to understand that jobs today are not easy to come by.”

Prologis representative Jim McGill presented the changes made to the initial concept plan in order to address the residents’ concerns.

Changes include smaller building sizes, increasing landscape buffers to 20 feet beyond city code requirements, and increasing the size and position of berms and fencing to buffer sound and lessen line of sight.

Prologis also is willing to change zoning from office to residential zoning if its development plans are approved for a southern portion of its property that is not part of the proposed park, McGill said.

McGill also indicated that Prologis would be willing to take into consideration any further proposed changes to the project from the City Council as the developer works on final plans

“This is not about destroying Lockport, but about preserving [it] in a time of unprecedented growth. Will County is one of the fastest-growing counties in the country right now. To deny that is to deny reality.”

Steven Streit Lockport mayor

for the park once the initial concept is approved.

Approval of the concept plan is the first step in the project’s approval process. Prologis also would need to present a detailed plan in order to get a special use planned unit development permit from the city.

Many residents spoke at the meeting and asked the committee to stop the proposal from moving forward.

What is an automatic standby generator?

FROM

FREE INITIAL EXAM An automatic standby generator is a back up electrical system that operates whether you are home or away.

Within seconds of an outage, it automatically supplies power directly to your home’s electrical circuit breaker box. After utility power returns, the generator shuts itself off and waits for the next outage. It operates on natural gas or liquid propane gas and it sits outside just like a central air conditioning unit.

Joliet doing 2 surveys in search of missing water

By BOB OKON

bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The city of Joliet has begun a second survey aimed at determining the accuracy of its water billing.

The survey was launched after Joliet converted to a new billing software in late summer 2016 and noticed in the process that some commercial customers’ bills did not line up with the amounts of water they were likely to use, City Manager Jim Hock said.

“It’s going to be a yearlong process,” Hock said. “What we’re doing is going to every commercial property and making a visible inspection.”

The on-location inspections began in November.

Another survey was conducted in March 2016 after the city learned through an efficiency study that more than 30 percent of its water was unaccounted for in 2015. The amount of water loss had been going up each year.

Hock said water loss of 8 percent to 10 percent in a municipal water system is not unusual, but the amount the city has been losing is excessive. The city hired M.E. Simpson Co. to detect where the water loss is occurring, and that survey began in March.

The Simpson survey includes attempts to identify underground water leaks so the city can determine if water is seeping out of city pipes.

The second survey by city staff includes checking meters at business sites

to determine if correct readings are being collected for billing.

“Staff is visiting every commercial site, looking at every meter, the size of the meters, the code on it, to make sure it’s correctly reading the water,” Hock said.

Hock said that although they found evidence of underbilling, they also found some cases of overbilling.

When asked for what the findings have been so far, Hock replied that it was too early.

“We haven’t gotten far enough for me to make any statistical projection,” he said.

The city has embarked on a $7.6 million program to repair and replace aging water mains through 2021.

Councilman Larry Hug, chairman of

the Public Service Committee, said it was hard to imagine that the majority of the water loss is because of leaks in the system.

“I don’t think 30 percent of the water can just be leaking. We’d have ponds and lakes all over the city,” he said. “That’s a lot of water. That’s one third of the water.”

Hug voted against an increase in water rates, which was approved in October. He said he was concerned about the water loss.

“I want to know where the water’s going,” he said.

It will be some time before they have a final answer. Hock said it probably will be at least three months before the city is halfway done with its on-site inspections.

opposition to the development and is the property’s closest neighbor.

He said he is concerned about the effect of smoke from diesel trucks on his animals, which include 10 endangered species.

Some residents – such as Tracy King, Jodi Zalewski and Heather Glockler – focused on the dangers that increased truck traffic and lost trucks might pose.

“This is an accident waiting to happen. ... We need to be proactive, not reactive,” Zalewski said.

Mike Messina, School District 92 board president, voiced concerns about increased truck activity on Archer Avenue leading to delays and students sitting on school buses for extended periods of time. He said 15 bus routes pass the park’s proposed Archer Avenue entrance.

Ken Krupa suggested that the city commission a study on the possible effect to property values before considering the proposal. Michael Bono-

mo, president of the Creekside Estates Homeowners Association, also cited possible depreciation of property values and increased truck traffic, and said, “A mayor’s job is to protect their citizens, not hurt them – this will hurt them.”

John Walliser, a biochemist, spoke about new scientific findings in the field of epigenetics, which he said, through studying DNA, now can link specific genetic changes to exposure to particular pollutants, such as diesel emissions.

“In the future, lawsuits will start

popping up because we can prove the damage,” Walliser said.

Ultimately, the committee members assured the residents that they would use every step of the planned unit development approval process to require mitigation of sound and visual impacts and impose restrictions on uses, as well as use their influence to improve the aesthetics of the final project.

The proposal will come to the City Council at its Feb. 15 meeting for further discussion and possible approval.

district needs to run operating surpluses to improve the credit rating that’s going to affect the interest rates on the bond.

“We probably need to hire a financial adviser,” Lucchetti said.

When the candidates were asked about the role of the board, superintendent and administration, Molinare said the superintendent should be the sole person who communicates with the board.

“He has his team and his team should report to him, and that he therefore communicates to the board information from his team,” she said.

Ripp emphasized the need for frequent and honest evaluation of the superintendent, as well as the need for board members to do their own independent research.

“It doesn’t have to be an adversarial relationship with the superintendent, but you also shouldn’t take everything as 100 percent factual from the administration,” he said.

Summit St. has been used for diocese offices since the 1960s, the site kept its high-density, multifamily zoning.

Phil Soto, part of the group that owns the property, said he wants the variance so he can continue to market the property for office space.

“It’s going to be an office building,” Soto said. “I’m not going to chop it up into [a single room occupancy] and create multiple units.”

Soto’s group, Sehring Property Holdings, plans to convert the former tribunal building on the site to a winery. The 19th-century limestone house was built by brewer Frederick Sehring, who lived there before it was acquired by the Diocese of Joliet and became the bishop’s house.

JOLIET – Kindergarten students took to the hallways at Pershing Elementary School to celebrate 100 days of fun and learning.

On Thursday, the students wore paper crowns of their own creation and were led by teachers to walk in classrooms throughout Pershing to sing and celebrate 100 days of school.

Lisa Eardley, a kindergarten teacher, said the students have been doing activities to commemorate the day, such as talking about what they would do if they reached the age of 100 and envisioning what they would look like at that age.

She said her students are able to count to 100.

“It’s a great accomplishment.

They’re able to connect and understand what 100 means and they can further learn by counting to 100,” Eardley said.

listed their name and said they were 100 days smarter.

Eardley asked them several questions to see if they were ready.

“Are your smiles ready for the hallway?” she asked.

“Yes, yes,” the students said in unison.

Each of the kindergarten classes at Pershing went into other classrooms to sing about 100 days. Sandy Zalewski, Joliet Public Schools District 86 spokeswoman, said other schools throughout the district also were celebrating.

Pershing Principal Pam George said the 100th day of school is huge for kindergarten students and first-graders, who also do activities for the day.

The students count snacks, figure out how to fit 100 gum balls in a gum ball machine and dress up as 100-year-old Eric Ginnard – eginnard@shawmedia.com people, she said.

POLICE REPORTS Note to readers: Information in Police Reports is obtained from local police departments and the Will County Sheriff’s Office. Individuals listed in Police Reports who have been charged with a crime have not been proved guilty in court.

The HERALD–NEWS ROCKFORD – A Lemont physician pleaded guilty Thursday to accepting a bribe to help a provider get more Medicare and Medicaid patients.

Neil Sharma, 36, of Lemont, was the medical director at a managed care services company from 2013 to 2015, according to a news release from the U.S. Attorney’s office. The release and charging documents do not identify Sharma’s employer, but said it was contracted by the state “to provide skilled nursing services to patients.”

Sharma has been a licensed physician since March 2011.

In 2015, Sharma’s employer was working with three other companies when he received $2,500 and $7,500 payments to steer patients to one in particular.

“The additional business Sharma promised in exchange for the bribe would bring in millions of dollars (through Medicaid and Medicare billing),” the news release said.

Sharma faces up to 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine when he is sentenced on May 11.

The District 86 John F. Kennedy Administrative Center is seen Wednesday in Joliet.

Joliet Public Schools District 86 receives a greater portion of state funding compared to local funding.

• SCHOOL FUNDING Continued from page 3

to 68 percent in 2013, while state revenue hovered between 27 percent to 36 percent.

Lane Abrell, the district’s superintendent, said in an email that districts similar to District 202 are in a bind. The district has overall declining enrollment, leading to less general state aid, and yet it is subjected – like all districts – to that aid being prorated.

“Those factors lead us to continually be reliant on our local property taxes,” Abrell said.

At District 81, local funding has increased by 23 percent in 10 years, with 91 percent of its funding comprised of local revenue, while 6 percent is state funding.

Baldermann said most of the district’s local revenue comes from industrial properties, and the district has improved its finances to the point where it reimburses residents.

He said he thinks the state should do more funding of public education, but the notion that districts receiving more money will improve educational outcomes is “preposterous.” He said parents of low-income families need better jobs and more help with engaging with their children’s education.

“That’s how you’re going to make a difference that will do far greater for the kids and their education,” Baldermann said.

“The nature of the beast is that property taxes in school districts and all units of government are very reliable. …

The state, well, there’s not a lot of trust going on with the state.”

District 86 receives a greater portion of state funding compared to local funding because of its high amount of low-income students. The district hasn’t needed to become more reliant on local revenues, said Nicholas Sakellariou, the district’s legal services and labor relations chief officer.

One issue many local district leaders across Joliet, New Lenox and Plainfield agree on is the potential negative effect of Gov. Bruce Rauner’s proposal for a permanent freeze on property taxes by not having them rise unless voters decide to raise them at the ballot box.

If the freeze is for a two- or threeyear period for Joliet Township High School District 204, for example, it could represent a loss of $3 million to $6 million, said Ilandus Hampton, the district’s assistant superintendent for business services.

“Those are dollars you lose forever,” he said.

GROUNDHOG DAY Woodstock Willie sees his shadow, predicting long and lustrous winter

By JORDYN REILAND

Hubert Michl of Munich, Germany, takes a selfie with Woodstock Willie the mascot before the annual Groundhog Day festivities begin Thursday in Woodstock.

Michl loves “Groundhog Day” the movie and made sure to schedule his meetings this week so he could fly in from Germany to conduct business and make a trip to Woodstock.

jreiland@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – Woodstock Willie reluctantly clambered out of his tree stump and saw his shadow Thursday, in the process predicting six more weeks of winter.

“On Feb. 2 at 7:07 a.m. the seer of seers, prognosticator of prognosticators, emerged reluctantly but alertly in Woodstock, Illinois, and stated in ‘groundhogese,’ ‘I definitely see my shadow,’ ” “Groundhog Day” location manager Bob Hudgins said to the crowd among loud boos at the announcement.

A large crowd ranging in all ages braved the winter chill and traveled to Woodstock Square just before sunrise to take part in the day’s festivities. The event brings together people from northern Illinois and elsewhere.

Legend has it that if Woodstock Willie sees his shadow Feb. 2, winter will last six more weeks. But if he doesn’t see his shadow, spring will come early.

Despite the “news” that six more weeks of winter are yet to come, the people who gathered to watch the local tradition seemed to enjoy themselves. Minutes before Willie was set to emerge, residents and visitors sang Groundhog Day-themed songs in anticipation of his appearance.

Marc Kleinfelter of Maple Park brought his five young children to the event for the first time. Kleinfelter said he came out to Woodstock while he was in college to see a few scenes of “Groundhog Day” being filmed.

“I just wanted to be able to show the kids some of what I saw then,” he said.

Deb Fulton of Barrington Hills also attended for the first time, donning a Groundhog-like hat she bought at Walt Disney World.

“They have such a wonderful celebration each year,” Fulton said.

Woodstock Willie wasn’t the only one to see his shadow, as his pal, Punxsutawney Phil, saw the same in

Woodstock Willie confers with Woodstock Mayor Brian Sager on Thursday in Woodstock. The Groundhog Day proclamation that Willie saw his shadow predicts six more weeks of winter.

Woodstock’s annual Groundhog Days celebration, commemorating the 25th anniversary of the film, will continue with events throughout the weekend that include a pub crawl, free screenings of the Harold Ramis-directed movie, a chili cookoff, the Blue Jeans & Black Tie District 200 Groundhog Dinner/Auction and walking tours of the film sites, among others.

Jake Reich of Union stands in front of the bandstand to see Woodstock Willie emerge from a tree trunk.

By KIANNAH SEPEDA–MILLER The Associated Press

CHICAGO – Two Illinois lawmakers have introduced legislation to ensure that state employees continue receiving paychecks even if a judge agrees with the state attorney general’s argument that their pay should be halted during the budget impasse.

Republican Rep. Avery Bourne of Raymond and Democratic Rep. Sue Scherer of Decatur introduced separate measures Wednesday that would keep paychecks flowing in response to a motion filed by Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan last week. Madigan asked a judge to reverse a previous court’s ruling that found withholding paychecks violates a provision in the Illinois Constitution requiring all contractual agreements to be honored.

Madigan argued that the court ruling had contributed to prolonging the nearly two-year impasse.

Bourne said her measure is necessary to keep state workers out of the fray as the budget negotiations grind on between Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner and Democratic legislative leaders.

“We wanted to make sure that state employees are not put in the middle of

Illinois sees mild January, temps 5 degrees above normal

CHAMPAIGN – Illinois state climate experts said the temperature during January was 5 degrees above normal and the state recorded its 14th-warmest January on record.

Jim Angel is the Illinois state climatologist with the University of Illinois’ State Water Survey. Angel said the statewide average temperature during January was 31.4 degrees. The water survey said above-normal temperatures during January spanned the entire state of Illinois and snowfall during the month almost was nonexistent.

Less than an inch of snow fell in many locations, which the water survey said was “well below normal statewide.”

Statewide the average precipitation during January was 2.16 inches, which is about normal. The state’s weather experts

The Republican and Democratic measures would approach the payments differently. Bourne’s proposal would obligate Illinois to pay state workers at current levels regardless of whether the General Assembly appropriates funds while Scherer’s would

Parents face manslaughter charge in infant son’s death

NEW DOUGLAS – Authorities have charged an Illinois couple with involuntary manslaughter after their infant son was found lifeless in their crowded, trash-filled home.

The Belleville News-Democrat reported that authorities believe the 2-month-old suffocated Tuesday after being trapped under a car seat.

Amy and Timothy Elkins Jr. each face one charge of involuntary manslaughter, one charge of felony child endangerment and nine counts of misdemeanor child endangerment. It was not immediately clear if they are represented by an attorney who could speak on their behalf.

Madison County Sheriff John Lakin said the family lived in “absolutely horrific” conditions that appalled seasoned officers.

Trash was piled almost to the ceiling in some rooms causing a sickening stench.

Cook Co. to put more than 4K vacant properties up for sale

CHICAGO – More than 4,000 vacant Cook County properties are being put up for sale as part of an effort to improve distressed communities.

The Cook County Land Bank Authority said the 4,437 tax-delinquent parcels represent the largest one-time release of real estate in county history.

The properties are located in areas of Chicago and suburban Cook County that were hard hit by the foreclosure crisis or the decline in manufacturing. Many have been vacant for five to 10 years, creating blight in neighborhoods.

Community-based developers, homeowners, block clubs and nonprofit organizations might buy the parcels and transform them into community gardens, play lots or basketball courts.

Cook County formed the land bank in 2013. Commissioner Bridget Gainer said this week’s action will contribute to “a rust belt reboot.”

fice is reviewing both House proposals and appreciates that lawmakers are “working on solutions.”

Some critics have argued that the attorney general’s move could give Democrats – including Madigan’s father, House Speaker Michael Madigan – the upper hand in budget negotiations by putting pressure on the governor to avoid a government shutdown. But Speaker Madigan’s spokesman, Steve Brown, called Scherer’s bill a “precaution” in case the attorney general’s motion is approved by the judge.

The measures could raise questions about priorities if legislators approve pay for state workers while not addressing social service providers’ needs in the absence of a budget. But Scherer said her legislation indirectly benefits providers, too, because state workers are charged with processing the funding those organizations are receiving.

Illinois Partners for Human Service CEO Judith Gethner said lawmakers need to urgently address everyone’s needs, but that a government shutdown could severely impact providers’ abilities to perform their duties too.

“We should all get paid,” she said.

“It’s about doing the right thing for all of us.”

Philadelphia group helping investigate Illinois cold case

TINLEY PARK – Nine years after the fatal shooting of five women in a southwest suburb of Chicago, police are getting help from a Philadelphia-based group that aids law enforcement working to solve cold-case homicides.

In October, two Tinley Park detectives presented evidence in the Feb. 2, 2008, incident to members of the Vidocq Society, a nonprofit comprised of criminal and forensic investigators. Village officials said in a statement Monday that the group’s members reviewed the case.

“It’s a fresh set of eyes on a very daunting and complicated case,” Tinley Park Police Chief Steve Neubauer said.

He said the society doesn’t agree to hear every case that is presented for consideration, and that the department had to request to be placed on the group’s docket.

Police have investigated more than 7,000 tips in the case, and a reward of $100,000 has yet to produce a lead that will bring resolution to the slayings, which occurred at a Lane Bryant clothing store.

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS 2,500-prisoner James T. Vaughn Trump pledges to end political limits on churches Correctional Center. Some inWASHINGTON – Declaring that religious freedom is “under threat,” President Donald Trump vowed Thursday to repeal a rarely enforced IRS rule that says pastors who endorse candidates from the pulpit risk losing their tax-exempt status.

“I will get rid of and totally destroy the Johnson Amendment and allow our representatives of faith to speak freely and without fear of retribution,” Trump said at the National Prayer Breakfast, a high-profile event bringing together faith leaders, politicians and dignitaries.

Trump’s pledge was a nod to his evangelical Christian supporters, who helped power his White House win. So far he has not detailed his plans for doing away with the rule, which he has previously promised to rescind.

Gov. John Carney called the uprising a “torturous” ordeal. In a statement, he said authorities will hold accountable those responsible and “make whatever changes are necessary to ensure nothing like it ever happens again.”

Authorities did not say how 47-year-old Sgt. Steven Floyd died, but the head of the guards union said the 16-year veteran of the prison was forced into a closet and killed by his captors at some point.

Cabinet tries to soften tone Trump has set

By JOSH LEDERMAN and VIVIAN SALAMA The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – Donald Trump’s spats with U.S. allies as close as Mexico and as unlikely as Australia are leaving his new secretary of state and others in his Cabinet to clean up a lot of potential damage.

It’s a good-cop, bad-cop dynamic that could define America’s foreign policy for the next four years.

President Trump’s first two weeks on the job have rattled foreign friends and foes alike – and even members of his own party – starting with his order to temporarily halt all refugee admissions as well as immigration from seven mainly-Muslim countries. Concern only escalated the past few days with his personal dust-ups with foreign leaders and declaration that Iran is now “on notice” for possible American action.

“It’s time we’re going to be a little tough, folks,” Trump said at a National Prayer Breakfast on Thursday, as unseemly details circulated about his private phone calls with the Mexican and Australian leaders.

“We’re taken advantage of by every nation in the world virtually. It’s not going to happen anymore.”

Trump’s blunt comments came a day after word emerged of a tense discussion with Australian Prime Minister Malcom Turnbull, in which the new U.S. president lambasted an Obama-era deal to resettle some 1,600 asylum-seekers.

Diplomatic dysfunction was clear. Minutes after the U.S. Embassy in Canberra said the deal was still on, Trump seemed to contradict that message, tweeting: “I will study this dumb deal!”

On the other side of the globe, new details emerged about strained ties between the U.S. and its southern neighbor.

There was already irritation on both sides after Mexican President Enrique Pena Ni-

President Donald Trump shakes hands with Secretary of State Rex Tillerson as his wife, Renda St. Clair, looks on, after Tillerson was sworn in Wednesday in the Oval Office of the White House in Washington, D.C. eto’s cancellation of a trip to Washington after Trump made the visit contingent on Mexico agreeing to pay for a U.S. border wall.

In a follow-up phone call, Trump warned Pena Nieto that he was ready to send U.S. troops to stop “bad hombres down there” if Mexico’s military can’t control them, The Associated Press learned. The White House said the comments were made in a “lighthearted” manner. But administration officials described the calls with both leaders as contentious. Some top aides are underscoring Trump’s emphasis on toughness and brawnier U.S. negotiations, dominant themes of his “America First” foreign policy.

At the United Nations, Trump’s U.N. ambassador, Nikki Haley, said the U.S. would be “taking names” of countries that “don’t have our back.” His national security adviser, Michael Flynn, made a surprising appearance at the White House daily briefing to “officially” put Iran “on notice” after its ballistic missile test. Trump topped Flynn on Thursday by saying “nothing is off the table” when it comes to a potential American response. But Trump’s top diplomats are striking noticeably softer tones.

Rex Tillerson, in his first day

as secretary of state, implicitly acknowledged in an address to staff that many U.S. diplomats oppose some of Trump’s positions. Without criticizing that, he called for unity.

“Honesty will undergird our foreign policy, and we’ll start by making it the basis of how we interact with each other,” Tillerson said. “We are human beings first.”

The former Exxon Mobil CEO offered an olive branch to hundreds of diplomats who signed a “dissent cable” challenging Trump’s order on immigration and refugees, affirming that “each of us is entitled to the expression of our political beliefs.” While noting the nation’s “hotly contested” election campaign, Tillerson stressed that “we cannot let out personal convictions overwhelm our ability to work as one team.”

Defense Secretary Jim Mattis sought to project the same sentiment internationally in South Korea on Thursday, in his first official trip abroad. He said the president’s message was “about the priority that we place on this alliance between our two nations,” seeking to reassure an ally that was unnerved by Trump the candidate when he said it should take on greater self-defense responsibility.

Fabled check could be headed toward extinction SPRINGFIELD – “Just mail me a check,” I told a young man who I was doing business with.

The 20-something paused and finally said, “I don’t have any checks. And I don’t have any envelopes or stamps.”

I was flummoxed.

This was no ordinary person. He’s an accomplished entrepreneur and a college graduate.

And he ran a small business.

But he didn’t have a checkbook?

How on earth can someone operate a household, yet alone a business, without a checkbook?

But many millennials simply pay with plastic. A debit or credit card more often than not will suffice. And they have apps such as PayPal on their phones that allow them to pay in other ways without a pen.

My young friend ultimately dropped by his bank to have a half-dozen checks printed. But before he filled one out, he watched a YouTube video showing him how.

When he shared that with me, I felt old. Really old.

When folks tell me they don’t want to make the switch to electronic banking out of security concerns, I always think of that clerk holding up checks to the light.

Checks aren’t always secure either.

Still, checking has become a part of the American lexicon.

Just think about it: Bad check, rubber check, the check is in the mail.

We are raising a generation that will have no idea what these phrases mean.

Future students will ponder these words in Martin Luther King Jr.’s, “I Have a Dream” speech: “America has given the Negro people a bad check, a check which has come back marked ‘insufficient funds.’ ” Will those future young scholars marvel at the great man’s eloquence or simply ask: “What’s a check?”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Sometimes life just isn’t fair

To the Editor: Van Gogh should have just let it go.

Vincent Van Gogh sold a grand total of one painting during his lifetime (Thanks, Mom!). He was branded a failure; mocked, ridiculed, laughed at and called a loser. “Find a new line of work, Vinny!” heckled the critics.

Well, he showed them! He fled to the countryside, lopped off his own ear and eventually died of frustration, humiliation and a broken heart.

Now, you can’t touch any of his paintings for less than $10 million. Garbage one day, masterpieces the next. Moral of the story? In life, timing is really everything. What good is the last laugh when you’re already dead?

Earl Schiebe was also a painter. He painted cars. Back in the day, his commercials were on TV as often as that insurance company, Lizard’s.

“I’ll paint any car for $99!” Ol’ Earl raked in more loot than a Colombian drug czar. I mean rolling in it! And then there was poor Vinny. So what’s the moral here? You already know: Life ain’t fair. There is no justice. The moral is actually so immoral that it shatters the

morale.

Another point to ponder: Sometimes even “Dear Abby” doesn’t have the answer, simply because none exists.

And her bankroll puts Earl’s to shame.

Not everything can be wrapped up in a neat little package.

So before bolting headlong into the back country, clutching straight razor in hand, just take a deep breath and roll with the changes, like the song says.

Let’s respect the American flag

To the Editor: Individuals have been arrested for burning the American flag. Now those laws in some states have been found to be unconstitutional by the Supreme Court. The judges have ruled that burning the flag is a protection of free speech. How can burning the American flag be an expression of free speech?

I believe that those individuals are in need of psychiatric care and should get the help they need. Let’s respect the flag.

PREP WRESTLING REGIONALS

REGIONAL RUMBLES

No. 1 Porters, No. 5 Celtics at Lockport

By CURT HERRON

cherron@shawmedia.com A year ago, the wrestling teams from Lockport and Providence Catholic met in the third-place meet at the IHSA dual team finals in Bloomington.

This season, although both squads are ranked among the top five teams in Class 3A by Illinois Matmen, only one has a chance to get back to state.

That’s because the top-ranked Porters and No. 5 Celtics are both entered in Saturday’s Lockport Regional. And with the addition of No. 17 Oswego and No. 18 Plainfield Central in the tournament field, it’s easy to argue that the Lockport Regional is the state’s toughest.

Because of the confusing manner in which the IHSA determines the state’s top dual meet teams, the first step in the process is determining the regional winners in a scored tournament.

So with only a single team advancing from each regional, one of last year’s state trophy winners will see their hopes of advancing in the team series dashed right away.

Of immediate concern for all of the area teams in Saturday’s regionals will be trying to advance as many individuals as possible to next weekend’s sectionals.

The top three finishers at each weight class qualify for the sectional, with those advancing at Lockport joining individuals who will compete in regionals at Lincoln-Way East, Rock Island and Granite City at the Normal Community Sectional, which begins Feb. 10.

Others entered at Lockport include Bolingbrook, Plainfield East, Plainfield North and Romeoville.

• WRESTLING

Continued from page 24 and Ronald Tucker Jr. (No. 4 at 285).

Providence’s favorites include Jacob Lindsey (No. 2 at 106) and Cole Smith (No. 2 at 152).

Plainfield East’s unbeaten Michael McGee (No. 1 at 120) and Bolingbrook’s unbeaten Dylan Burnoski (No. 3 at 126) are clear favorites at their weights, while Plainfield North’s best hopes are Luke Smiley (No. 7 at 138) and Matt Hennessey (No. 3 at 195). Oswego’s Josh Torres is also favored (No. 3 at 170) and there are no individuals ranked at 220.

There are two weight classes where three individuals ranked in the top12 will be competing, at 106 and 138, which will make things even more challenging for wrestlers to advance.

At Lincoln-Way East, Marian Catholic has six ranked individuals in the top 12, led by Travis Ford-Melton (No. 3 at 120) and Kordell Norfleet (No. 1 at 182), but it doesn’t have the overall depth that Lincoln-Way West possesses. The Warriors’ best hopes involve Jake DiBenedetto (No. 12 at 138) and Jake Dudeck (No. 5 at 220) while Lincoln-Way East’s Sammy Diehl (No. 3 at 285) is also favored at his weight.

In the Rock Island Regional, Plainfield South’s favorites include Enzo Silva (No. 9 at 106) and Adrian Cervantes (No. 8 at 182).

In Class 2A, No. 9 Lemont is expected to win its own regional behind Kyle

Hall of Famer Haller a hit at Pitch & Hit Club

To anyone in attendance who did not already know it, the video on the big screen gave it away.

Bill Haller is an unfiltered treat, anytime, anywhere.

The former longtime American League umpire and Lockport native was inducted last Sunday into the Pitch & Hit Club of Chicago’s Lou Boudreau Hall of Fame, the highlight of the 71st annual awards dinner at the Tinley Park Convention Center.

Haller said he comes from the Fairmont of Lockport, “the greatest place to grow up at the time. We had the three races living together – white, black and Hispanic. We lived together, we liked each other, we respected each other.”

Respect may not be the best word to describe Haller’s feelings about the Bud Selig regime as baseball commissioner.

“The last 25 years have been a disservice to the great game of baseball,” Haller said. “Fay Vincent should have been the commissioner the last 25 years.

“I’m afraid in another 25 years if baseball does not quit gauging the public, it will be gone and replaced by soccer.”

Haller complimented Roland Hemond, who was in attendance and is the Pitch & Hit Club’s honorary chairman, saying, “Roland, you are an asset to the greatest game in the world, baseball.”

VIEWS Dick Goss Haller said Happy Chandler, Vincent and Cal Hubbard were the greatest baseball people he ever met. He named Luis Aparicio, Brooks Robinson and Thurman Munson as the best players he saw.

“You’re lucky in Chicago,” he added.

“You have two of the best analysts around in Ron Coomer with the Cubs and Bill Melton with the Sox. Pat Hughes is outstanding, and on the other side of town you have a good broadcaster [Ken Harrelson], but the only thing is, he gets paid twice, once for announcing and once for umpiring.”

Haller also emphasized to youth coaches that “it is not important to win when you’re 9 years old. Let the kids have fun, and quit hollering at them.”

It was a vintage Bill Haller night.

Other Pitch & Hit honorees from the Joliet area included Bernie Gerl (who like Haller is a member of the Joliet Area Sports Hall of Fame) for the Bo Jackson Courage Award, Providence coach Mark Smith for the Ron Santo Inspiration Award and Lemont coach Brian Storako as Amateur Coach of the

Year.

Gerl, a catcher during his playing days, told his tale of having a young Hank Aaron dead to rights, picked off first base during a Class A Northern League game. The problem was, he also picked off the first baseman, who still was pounding his glove when Gerl’s bullet-like throw sailed past him and down the right field line.

Former Lockport coach Jim Hall, a board member of the Pitch & Hit Club, introduced Smith, whose Providence teams have won the last three Class 4A state titles, in glowing terms.

“I paid Jimmy $20 for that,” Smith said as he arrived at the podium. “And that video with Bill Haller, Earl Weaver gave me a few ideas for this season.”

All in all, an entertaining night with four of our own among the honorees.

THIS & THAT

Former Providence and Northwestern basketball standout Tavaras Hardy, who has been an assistant coach at Northwestern and Georgetown, is in his first season at Georgia Tech, where he is an assistant under coach Josh Pastner. The Yellow Jackets have a 13-9 record.

When Georgetown went to the NCAA Tournament in 2015, Hardy was an assistant there. He said then that

he believed that made him a first, the only Northwestern player ever to be involved in the Big Dance in any capacity.

• You know she will go about doing her job and being a good teammate regardless, but things will be different for Joliet Catholic graduate Allie Quigley and the Chicago Sky in the upcoming WNBA season.

The Sky on Thursday finalized the trade of Elena Delle Donne to Washington for young talents Stefanie Dolson and Kahleah Copper, plus the No. 2 pick in this year’s draft. Delle Donne, who is battling Lyme disease, averaged 21.5 points and seven rebounds last season, helping the Sky reach the playoffs. However, she missed the postseason after thumb surgery.

Quigley, Cappie Pondexter and Courtney Vandersloot will be Sky mainstays this season, and Dolson, Copper and Imani Boyette also should be in the regular mix.

• Cody Grosse, the outstanding shortstop and leadoff hitter from Joliet West who was the Herald-News Player of the Year a couple of seasons ago, has transferred from Chicago State and will play this spring at downstate John A. Logan College.

CHEERLEADING

STAFF REPORT The competitive cheerleading teams of Plainfield South and Plainfield East both have qualified for this weekend’s state meet at U.S. Cellular Coliseum in Bloomington.

Both also performed Wednesday night at South during the District 202 Special Olympics basketball game on Pack the Place Night.

South will compete in the co-ed division at state after finishing second in the Normal West Sectional. East is

a large-team division qualifier after finishing fourth at Normal West.

This is South’s second time qualifying for state and first time in the co-ed division. The Cougars also placed second in the Southwest Prairie Conference Meet in mid-January.

East is going to state for the first time as an all-girls team and second time overall.

“I am extremely proud of this team,” Bengals coach Samantha Bosi said. “They have overcome much adversity over this past season, and it is amazing to see them be rewarded for

their hard work.”

The South roster includes Jenna Anderson, Cadey Chartrand, Orlando DeYoung, Nicole Drabek, Lilly Goorsky, Madi Hall, Jessica Jefferson, Valerie Kacinskas, Nate Lopez, Aubry Mikel, Kali Parson, Alyssa Plata, Jessica Promin, Alexis Rello, Nicolette Simmons, Caitlin Smicklas, Ashley Suddreth, Bria Trenor, Gracie Treptow, Brittany Vihnanek and Alyssa Visage.

Brooke Twohill is the Cougars’ coach, assisted by Keri Storako.

The East roster consists of Kaila

Goss, Camryn Lang, Jena Hassert, Melissa Mazurkiewicz, Brooklyn Burgess, Brooklin Marshall, Marisa Romita, Alaina Reitz, Gisselle Martinez, Ashley Gonzalez, Jeanine Circelli, Jannet Salas, Chloe Boreselino, Gabi Trajkovski, Isabella Wayne, Amber Waughop, Ivie Ogbomo, Carli Rodriguez, DeMara Gilbreath, Brianna Bresnahan, Veronica Michalka and Sydney May. Bosi is assisted by Victoria Cetina, with Jamal Bruce and Stephanie Czarnik serving as volunteer assistants.

GIRLS BOWLING

Town & Country hosting pair of regionals simultaneously STAFF REPORT Anyone who has attended a girls regional bowling tournament knows how wild it can get.

Imagine doubling the excitement.

That’s what will be happening Saturday at Town & Country Lanes as the local house hosts two regionals simultaneously. Both will feed into the Andrew Sectional next week at Orland Bowl.

Minooka and Plainfield South are the regional hosts, and both six-game events will feature 13-team fields. That means about 800 games will be bowled Saturday morning and afternoon on the T&C lanes.

Area schools in the Minooka Regional, in addition to the Indians, are Joliet Central, Lincoln-Way West, Lincoln-Way Central and Lincoln-Way East. Hillcrest, Crete-Monee, Rich Central, Rich East, Rich South, Southland College Prep Charter, Andrew and Tinley Park also will be competing.

Area schools in the Plainfield South Regional, in addition to the Cougars, are Joliet West, Lockport, Plainfield Central, Plainfield East, Plainfield North, Romeoville, Bolingbrook and Lemont.

Sandburg, Yorkville, Oswego and Oswego East will round out the field.

Morris, meanwhile, will travel to the Decatur Eisenhower Regional, which feeds the LaSalle-Peru Sectional.

The top four teams from each regional, along with the top 10 individuals not members of advancing teams, will move on to sectionals. If history is an indicator, the Joliet area will be well represented at the Andrew Sectional.

The next step after the sectional, of course, is the state meet at Cherry Bowl in Rockford, a place where Joliet-area representatives have shined the last couple of years. This area, in fact, has had the last two team champions, as Joliet West enters the postseason as the defending state champ and Lockport, which finished third last year, was the 2015 winner.

In addition to winning state last year with a 12,613 total for 12 games, Jo-

liet West sported the No. 2 individual finisher in Gracie Plese, who rolled a 2,736 for a 228.0 average and was only 13 pins behind the top spot. Fellow Tigers senior Taylor Bailey finished 11th at 2,618, a 218.2 average.

Lockport’s top finishers last year were senior Nikki Mendez, 17th with a 215.1 average, and junior Paige Reiter, 19th with a 214.8 average.

Reiter is back to lead a deep Porters team that is among many contenders for state honors.

First, however, anyone with state aspirations must take care of business during the hustle and bustle Saturday at Town & Country Lanes and in next week’s sectional.

BEARS INSIDER Hub Arkush what you did...” at which point Goodell interrupted him to say, “If you look at the Second Circuit Court, the decision that they set, they said there are compelling, if not overwhelming, facts here, and that’s the point I just made.”

So I looked and in fact that was the opinion of one of the three judges.

In fact, Robert Katzman, the Chief Judge of the Second Circuit Court of Appeals who cast the dissenting vote in the 2-1 decision, wrote the following: “When the commissioner, acting in his capacity as an arbitrator, changes the factual basis for the disciplinary action after the appeal hearing concludes, he undermines the fair notice for which the [Players] Association bargained, deprives the player of an opportunity to confront the case against him, and, it follows, exceeds his limited authority under the CBA to decide ‘appeals’ of disciplinary decisions.

“On a more fundamental level, I am troubled by the commissioner’s decision to uphold the unprecedented four-game suspension. The commissioner failed to even consider a highly relevant alternative penalty and relied, instead, on an inapt analogy to the League’s steroid policy.

“This deficiency, especially when viewed in combination with the shifting rationale for Brady’s discipline, leaves me to conclude that the commissioner’s decision reflected his own brand of industrial justice. The misconduct found in the Wells Report is indisputably less culpable than inducing and rewarding cheating through the payment of memorabilia, as was found in the commissioner’s final decision.”

Goodell also reported “Thursday Night Football is something that we (NFL) are very committed to,” and added for those of us who just don’t get it, “We’ve seen high quality football on Thursday night.”

I cannot tell you exactly what alternative universe Goodell is living in these days but I can tell you his performance this year was highly disturbing.

HOUSTON – Each year at the Super Bowl, the NFL commissioner holds a news conference at which he gets to answer questions on crucial topics surrounding the league and on a good day reset the direction of his office and its relationship with the game and its fans.

Noteworthy this year, however, was Roger Goodell’s incredibly tone-deaf performance.

For example, toward the end of Goodell’s time at the mic, he was asked why numerous questions from the media to players at the Monday evening “Opening Night” get-together with the Patriots and Falcons about the president of the United States and the players’ subsequent answers were deleted or redacted from all the transcripts and videos of the event.

Goodell responded, “I’m not aware of anything being deleted from transcripts or anything else,” and after he was assured by the questioner all of the references were deleted, he answered, “I must tell you, that’s one thing I am not responsible for around here is the transcripts.”

I have gone over all the transcripts and the query is accurate: no mentions of the President or the current political climate were included.

Does anyone in their right mind believe the decision to do that was made without the consent or at least advice of the commissioner?

Asked whether he has been avoiding Foxborough and why it feels in New England as if there is a war between him and the Patriots and their fans, and how he would characterize the situation if it weren’t awkward, Goodell replied, “I would tell you that it is not awkward at all for me.”

Goodell continued, “We applied a process and discipline, and we came to the conclusion that was supported by the facts and the courts.

“If I am invited back to Foxborough, I will come.”

Is there an NFL fan anywhere who believes Goodell needs an invitation to attend a game?

The commissioner clearly decides on his own which games he will attend and no one ever has tried to stop him or refused him entry. Why would he need an invite to the AFC Championship?

Goodell then riled his audience even more when a New England reporter offered, “One quick fact check, the courts didn’t uphold the investigation.

It upheld your right to go ahead and do

Feathered friends to crow about Winter an ideal time to begin bird watching

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

You never know what you’ll see.

But this is certain: Whether you’re experienced or a novice, winter is a great time to go birding.

“There’s very little vegetation out there,” Chris Gutmann, facility supervisor at the Forest Preserve District of Will County’s Isle a la Cache Museum in Romeoville, said. “It’s a lot easier to spot the birds. There’s more to see in the feeders; and it’s, overall, easier to find them.”

A variety of species make their permanent or winter homes – or simply pass through – the different sites of the district, Gutmann said. Some prefer the woodlands; others veer to the lakes and rivers.

Red-tailed hawks are everywhere, Gutmann said, and he’s seen up to four bald eagles, as well as trumpeter swans.

“It depends what you want to see,” Gutmann said. “As with any kind of bird watching, it has to be the right time and the right place.”

Flock together

Not sure where to begin? Here’s where the Forest Preserve District of Will County can help, through upcoming workshops, organized bird hikes, and being a source for information, Bob Bryerton, an interpretive naturalist for the district, said.

“We guide people through it and help them get started,” Bryerton said.

Bryerton said naturalist-led bird hikes prevent newbies from feeling overwhelmed, but they’re good for experienced birders, too.

“It’s good to go with a group,” Bryerton said. “More people spot more things.”

Because food and water sources are scarce in the winter, a greater number of birds veer toward fewer places, increasing the odds a birder will see varied species and view them for a longer time, Bryerton said.

Even if a birder only sees Canadian geese, there’s “always rare stuff hiding or coming through with the other birds,” Bryerton said. Sometimes a bird is separated from his own group and travels along with another until he catches up.

“They don’t care if other birds are

Know more Some birding “finds,” according to a news release from the Forest Preserve District of Will County, include: • A common redpoll that was spotted last year at Isle a la Cache in Romeoville. The small finch traveled south from the tundra of northern Canada or Alaska to winter in the Midwest.

• Isle a la Cache is also home to the common goldeneyes and mergansers – two species of “diving ducks” – as well as American kestrels, nuthatches, woodpeckers, sparrows and more.

• Snowy owls and northern harriers head to the Will County area in winter.

• Dark-eyed juncos – nicknamed “snowbirds” – fly south from colder climes to spend winter in the United States.

• Bald eagles are spotted almost daily at Isle a la Cache, which is adjacent to the Des Plaines River, as well as McKinley Woods, Photos provided which is located where the Kankakee, Des Learn how to spot bald eagles and other birds during the Forest Preserve District of Will Plaines and DuPage rivers join to form the County’s winter birding programs. For information about the current programs visit Illinois River in Channahon.

ReconnectWithNature.org. there,” Bryerton said. “Any spot of open water is all that concerns the bird: ‘This is open water and I’m going there.’ ” Part of the enjoyment of birding in winter is its low-cost and adaptability to any age.

Simply dress for the weather and grab a pair of binoculars [and maybe a field guide] and head out, Gutmann said.

Kids can easily spot large birds – Gutmann himself began bird watching when he was 6 – but songbirds are trickier because that requires binocular skill, Gutmann said. Birds of prey are popular – especially the owls – but people need to remember they nest this time of year.

“You need to give them a wide berth so you don’t flush them out and expose them to dangers,” he said.

That said, birding – really, any contact with nature, even simply watching the birds at the forest preserve feeders – is as much for kids as for adults.

As a boy, Gutmann spent many happy hours in rural south Naperville observing prairie birds, building forts in the field near his house and watching turtles.

“It’s hard for kids today to have that same experience,” he said.

ASK THE DOCTORS Robert Ashley looked at another new breast cancer developing. The women in the studies were followed for five to 18 years.

Some studies showed no correlation, but the results of the combined studies did show a small connection between alcohol intake and a recurrence of breast cancer. The correlation was found even among those who drank one unit of wine every day – that’s half a standard glass, to answer your question about units of wine. Alcohol also had a greater effect upon women after menopause and women who were obese. However, the five studies that looked at new breast cancers did not show an effect from alcohol.

It is difficult to make an overarching conclusion from this data, but there does appear to be some correlation between alcohol and an increased risk of breast cancer recurrence. However, this correlation was not seen in women who drank alcohol less frequently then one drink every other day.

So in regard to breast cancer, it’s likely safe to have a glass of wine (two units of alcohol) every three days, as this amount doesn’t seem to be linked to an increased risk of new or recurrent breast cancer.

But please make sure to continue your regular follow-ups of evaluations with mammograms.

• Friday, February 3, 2017

Dear Doctor: I read your recent response to a question about alcohol consumption and its correlation to breast cancer. But what about the risk once you’ve been diagnosed? I recently was diagnosed with breast cancer and have completed radiation. I am on medication and have a very positive prognosis. I enjoy a glass of wine occasionally and am wondering if I should continue doing this. You talked about two units of alcohol every three or four days as being acceptable. What exactly are two units, and would this be OK for someone in my situation?

Dear Reader: For those who missed my previous column, let me repeat: The relationship between alcohol consumption and breast cancer has been studied multiple times, and there does appear to be a link. Studies have shown this link is dose-responsive, meaning the more you drink, the greater the risk of developing breast cancer. The correlation between breast cancer and heavy or binge drinking is the most definite.

In the prior article, I also referred to a positive benefit of alcohol for women, in that research has found having one drink (two units of alcohol) every three to four days was linked to a significant decrease – 17 percent – in death during the course of one study.

As for whether there is an association between alcohol consumption and cancer recurrence or a new cancer after a breast cancer diagnosis, that has been studied as well. A 2016 article in the journal Cancer Treatment Reviews analyzed results from 16 studies to assess breast cancer risk and alcohol consumption in women who previously had been diagnosed with breast cancer.

Eleven of the studies looked at recurrence of the original breast cancer, and five studies

a 15-year-old boy.

I’m happy with my life, except for one thing. My mom believes in God, and Dad doesn’t. I believe in God, but I don’t support my mom’s religion. My friends and neighbors think I’m in that religion, but I don’t believe in their beliefs. It’s really uncomfortable when people ask why I haven’t been in church.

Mom signs me up for church activities, and I don’t like going. I feel awkward when I try to talk to my parents about it. I’m not close to them, and I don’t know what to do. I don’t want to hurt my mother’s feelings. Can you help me?

– Teen In Ogden, Utah Dear Teen: What you should not do is allow your mother’s faith and your lack of it to become a contest of wills or a basis for argument.

At 15, you are entering adulthood, and these are important years in your life. Thank your mother for the great foundation she has given you. Tell her you love her, and you hope she will continue to love you as you explore what your beliefs are on your spiritual journey. A wise clergyman once told me something I will share with you: The opposite of faith is not doubt; it is certainty.

Dear Abby: I have had one major and one minor bout with cancer. Everyone I know treated me the same and were helpful except for one longtime friend I’ll call Brandy.

You see, I changed and grew as a result of having cancer. The others seemed to accept this, but not Brandy. She still expects me to “snap back” and do everything I liked to do before. She can’t accept that I want to try new things and have let go of others, sends me “gloom and doom” articles about cancer and even tried to fix me up with someone even though I am happily married.

She became angry when I suggested both of us had changed – perhaps too much to sustain the friendship. I tried explaining it to her, but she didn’t understand. A therapist advised ending the friendship as gently as possible, so I did.

Do you think I did the right thing? – Noth-

SATURDAY HOROSCOPE

By EUGENIA LAST

Newspaper Enterprise Association TODAY – You’ll feel the pressure, even if you cannot see it. Secrets will be divulged and emotions will spin out of control if you don’t take the high road and stick to the truth. Set the standard rather then getting caught up in other people’s dilemmas. Question others’ motives and integrity.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Size up situations and make your move based on what you discover. Refuse to get involved in other people’s problems or let anyone meddle in your affairs.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Thinking about days gone by will help you reflect on what and

whom you miss from your past. If you plan a get-together for old friends, you’ll encourage new beginnings.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Do something that will make you and the ones you love happy.

Plan a trip or an outing that will bring you closer together. Love and romance are featured.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Share your knowledge and learn from information offered to you in return. You’ll be enlightened if you interact with people who come from a different background than you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Be a good Samaritan. Indulge in activities that are geared toward helping others to feel satisfaction as well as have the good fortune to meet people who will influence your future.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Don’t expect everyone to agree with you. Arguing will not solve problems, but offering incentives and finding ways to compromise will help you reach your goals.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Travel, education and personal improvements all are highlighted. The way you present yourself will have a bearing on the people you attract. Romance is in the stars.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Protect your home, family and finances. Be smart when it comes to investments. Not all deals will be in your best interest. Travel and communication will lead to valuable information.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Look for unique solutions to any problems that transpire. Getting along with your peers and your family or

roommates will make the difference between success and failure.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Be brave and ready to express your feelings. You won’t be able to clear up what isn’t working if you aren’t honest about what you want out of life.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Physical alterations to your surroundings or personal appearance will encourage you to bring about positive changes to your lifestyle. Love and romance will improve your existence.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Avoid excessive behavior or impulsive actions. A stable, steady pace toward a safe and happy lifestyle is in your best interest, regardless of what anyone else does. Distance yourself from self-destructive people.
