Mayor plans Joliet commission to examine local water issues

By BOB OKON

bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Joliet Mayor Bob O’Dekirk this week said he will develop a commission to examine a potential water shortage forecast to come in as soon as 15 years.

O’Dekirk made his comments after a presentation at the Tuesday city council meeting, at which city officials were urged to seek an alternative to the underground wells from which Joliet now draws water.

“We’ll probably have to start fast-tracking this and decide what we’re going to do in the next five years,” O’Dekirk said at the end of a presentation titled “Water Challenges to Joliet.”

The mayor said he plans by the next city council meeting Feb. 21 to suggest eight members to fill an inactive Environmental and Refuse Commission. The commission was formerly used to review waste disposal issues but would be assigned to study the city’s water needs.

The Kankakee River was mentioned as the most likely alternative source if Joliet decides to shift away from the deep underground aquifer that provides city water now.

The presentation was led by former Aurora Mayor Tom Weisner, who said

Tom Weisner

Aurora mayor, speaking to Joliet City Council

his own city has been moving off of the same deep water aquifer that serves Joliet and is drawing more water from the Fox River.

Weisner, who was invited by O’Dekirk to make the presentation, is the founding chairman of the Northwest Regional Planning Alliance, an association of five suburban counties that are planning for future water issues.

“Many of Joliet’s wells will get to the ultra-critical level in the next 15 to 20 years,” Weisner told the council.

He said a reasonable timeline for switching to a new source of water is 10 years.

“The sooner the city can move off the deep sandstone aquifer, the more likely it is you can have your deep sandstone aquifer as a secondary supply,” Weisner said.

Weisner said Aurora has shifted to using the Fox River as its primary water source but continues to use the aquifer during droughts when river levels are low.

Weisner was part of a group that included George Roadcap, a hydrogeologist with the Illinois State Water Survey.

Roadcap noted that the depletion of the aquifer also could have an impact on industrial plants that rely on well water.

“There are some industries that are worried about running out of water first,” he said.

Roadcap said Joliet, like Aurora, could make river water a primary source and retain access to the aquifer to be used during droughts.

Although the Des Plaines River runs through Joliet, the Kankakee River is considered a cleaner source of water.

“There’s a lot of good, quality water in the Kankakee,” Roadcap said.

Joliet officials more than 20 years ago explored the use of Kankakee River water to the extent that the city acquired property on the river that could be used for a future pumping station.

Joliet District 204 gets national AP award; Central, West students honored

By BRIAN STANLEY

bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The Tigers and Steelmen may be better prepared for college than anybody else in the country.

Advanced Placement students from both Joliet Central High School and Joliet West High School, which together comprise Joliet Township High School District 204, gathered Wednesday morning in West’s gymnasium, where District 204 was named AP District of the Year by the College Board.

The award recognizes the district for being the nation’s leader among small school districts in simultaneously expanding access to AP courses and improving students’ performance on AP exams, according to a district news release.

The assembly began with district band and cheerleading performances. After Junior ROTC students posted colors, a choir led a medley of the national anthem and Pledge of Allegiance.

“This is equivalent to the educational Super Bowl,” Superintendent Cheryl McCarthy said. “We’re celebrating the results and a whole lot of work that goes into AP exams.”

“We’re No. 1 out of 10,000 schools,” school board President Jeff Pierson announced.

An AP class aims to match the curriculum of a college subject and students who score high enough (3 or above out of 5) on an AP exam will already have a few credit hours before they start college.

West Principal Teresa Gibson said high school AP courses give college students opportunities to take classes within their major sooner, double major or graduate in three years.

Twenty-five years ago, West offered one AP U.S. History class, which was taken by 55 students. Now there are 18 courses offered and 25 percent of West students are enrolled in an AP class.

“Education is a tool against poverty. Our ultimate goal is to have no more poverty in our community,” McCarthy said. “Every student should have the opportunity to take [an AP] class.”

In the past 10 years, the district

has gone from offering five total AP U.S. History classes to six at each school, said Terrance Piazza, a teacher at Central.

“To me AP doesn’t just mean ‘advanced placement,’ ” West senior Jada Brand said. “It represents ‘anything is possible,’ ‘always prepared’ and ‘academically progressive.’ ”

Hope Manor Joliet begins leasing for veterans

By BOB OKON

bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Leasing has begun at Hope Manor Joliet, an apartment complex being built by a nonprofit group to provide affordable housing to veterans who otherwise could be homeless.

The first 12-unit building will open later this month, said Brandon Crow, chief program officer for Volunteers of America of Illinois.

“We are interviewing people and will be moving people in before the month is over,” Crow said. “We are going to fill all 12 units by Feb. 28.”

The building is the first of four to open at Hope Manor Joliet, located on the former Joliet campus of Silver Cross Hospital. Hope Manor is one of several developments on the old hospital property, including a Veterans Affairs medical clinic less than two blocks away from the apartments.

Volunteers of America of Illinois expects to open all four buildings before the end of June. They will include 67 apartments and offices for veterans services.

Only the first building and its 12 apartments are being leased now.

Volunteers of America of Illinois has received a temporary occupancy permit for the building, which Crow said is needed before leasing can start.

Crow said 18 applicants have inquired about the available units.

“We’ve interviewed more than enough people, but they are not all eligible,” he said. “We have some that are over income. Some are not eligible for two- or three-bedrooms.”

All 12 apartments in the first building have two or three bedrooms.

All one-bedroom apartments will be

Monthly rents will range from $938 for a one-bedroom to $1,370 for a three-bedroom. Tenants pay up to 30 percent of total household income for rent, and the remaining amount is covered by federal subsidies.

Those interested can call 312-5642345 or email hopemanorjoliet@voail. org.

Joliet sets timetable for posting $500 parking fine signs

By BOB OKON

bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – City Hall plans to have handicapped parking signs posting the newer $500 fine in place around the city by the end of the summer.

The fine actually was hiked to $500 in October 2014, but most handicapped parking signs in the city still are posted with the older $250 signs.

A $500 fine cannot be imposed at a spot marked for a $250 fine, even if the city increased the fine in its ordinances.

City Manager Jim Hock gave a report on the status of handicapped parking signs to the City Council on Tues-

day, a day after an advocate for people with disabilities spoke out about the slow implementation of the $500 fine.

He said signs with the $500 fine could be posted at parking spots throughout the city, provided that the city hire summertime help to implement the project.

Hock said nearly 700 signs had been changed in the last month in major commercial districts along Jefferson Street and Larkin Avenue.

The city is providing business owners with signs warning of the new $500 fine. About 100 signs have been provided to the Louis Joliet Mall.

“We want to work with our businesses to get voluntary compliance,” he told

the City Council at its Tuesday meeting.

At the City Council workshop meeting Monday, John Sheridan, a member of the Mayor’s Committee for Citizens with Disabilities and the Accessible Will County Committee, criticized city officials for slow implementation of the higher fine and asked for a timetable to change the signs.

Sheridan estimated that, at most, 10 percent of the handicapped parking signs have been changed since the $500 fine was enacted.

It wasn’t the first time Sheridan urged the city to move forward on the new fines.

He appeared before a City Council

committee in October 2015 urging the city to get the $500 fine posted around town.

The council at the time was considering whether it had gone too far in doubling the fine but decided to keep it at $500.

Private property owners are responsible for putting up the signs.

Hock said a sign change is a threestep process: informing the property owner that the new sign must be posted; delivering the sign; and then checking back to see if the new sign is posted.

He said he had no idea how many handicapped parking signs are posted throughout the city.

Lincoln-Way D-210 being investigated over swimsuit discrimination allegations

By FELIX SARVER

fsarver@shawmedia.com NEW LENOX – Federal education officials are investigating allegations that Lincoln-Way District 210 discriminated against female students with regard to swimsuit sales.

A student alleged during the current school year that the district subjected female students to discrimination by charging them more than male students for required physical education swimsuits, according to a Jan. 23 letter from the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights.

The office is also investigating the district for an allegation that the district does not widely distribute a Notice of Nondiscrimination that meets the requirements of Title IX, including referring inquiries to the district’s Title IX coordinator or the Office for Civil Rights and notifying all students and staff of contact information for that coordinator.

The office is responsible for enforcing Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972. Title IX protects people from discrimination on the basis of sex in education programs or activities that receive

federal financial assistance.

Superintendent Scott Tingley said the complaint against the district was sent by a single student but declined to identify the student’s school. He said the district had presented a resolution of the issue to the student before the Office of Civil Rights became involved.

“From our standpoint now, we will file a response [Thursday] and wait to hear back from them,” Tingley said of the office’s investigation.

Taryn Atwell, District 210 spokeswoman, stated in an email that female swimsuits are $40 and male swimsuits are $25.

She stated the district does not generate revenue from the sale of swimsuits and that they come from Action Sports.

Tingley said information about Title IX is on the district’s website and in its board policy manual.

Title IX information is detailed under the rules and regulations section of the district’s website. Board policy 2:260 outlines the grievance procedure for violations of Title IX and other federal and state rights.

The Office of Civil Rights noted in its Jan. 23 letter that investigating the complaint in “no way implies that OCR has

made a determination with regard to [its merit],” and that the office is a “neutral fact-finder, collecting and analyzing relevant evidence” from the parties and other sources.

A call to Office of Civil Rights’ Chicago office was not immediately returned Wednesday.

The Office of Civil Rights requested a narrative response from district officials to the allegations, an explanation of why the district charges female students more than male students for swimsuits and if the district marks up the cost of swimsuits. Also requested was a copy of the district’s policies prohibiting discrimination based on sex and documentation of how the policies are being communicated to parents and students, among other information.

LOCAL BRIEF Icy I-55 leads to multiple crashes in Channahon

No injuries were reported, said Illinois State Police Sgt. Scott Angus.

The first wave of crashes involved at least three vehicles and occurred at 5:48 a.m. on the northbound side of the interstate at the Des Plaines River bridge, Angus said.

The second wave of crashes involved three vehicles and happened about 6 a.m. in the same area, he said.

The area was closed until 7:30 a.m. Illinois State Police, Channahon firefighters and the Illinois Department of Transportation responded to the incidents, Angus said.

CREST HILL – Crest Hill officials are examining the potential for a tax increment financing district along Weber Road.

The Crest Hill City Council on Monday unanimously approved Phase 1 of an agreement with Chicago-based planning and economic development firm Camiros to explore the possibility of a TIF area in the corridor, Interim City Administrator Heather McGuire said Tuesday.

A TIF district is a blighted or underdeveloped area in which any increase in tax base value from development is returned to the district to generate improvements.

The section of Weber Road being considered by the council spans from just south of Caton Farm Road north to Division Street, McGuire said, and includes the Diocese of Joliet property at the northernmost intersection and 74 vacant acres in the same area.

“We are taking advantage of every opportunity available to have future development come to the Weber Road corridor,” Mayor Ray Soliman said Tuesday.

Soliman said he would like to see Weber Road become a thoroughfare for retailers, restaurants, gas stations and services, and a TIF district is one way to incentivize developers.

The potential TIF area is a mix of rural, residential and retail properties.

Phase 1 of the Camiros agreement cost the city $4,975 and will consist of a study to see if the targeted section of Weber Road is eligible for potential TIF district status, according to McGuire.

Phase 2 would cost $18,650, address the logistics of creating a TIF area and be voted on by the council after the completion of Phase 1.

McGuire said the city, which has no TIF districts, anticipates a presentation on Phase 1 in the next two months.

Also upcoming for Crest Hill is a presentation on the results of Phase 1 of a separate but similar agreement with Camiros to examine the potential for a TIF district in the area surrounding the Hillcrest Shopping Center, including Route 30’s intersections with Larkin Avenue and Theodore Street. McGuire expects the council will hear that presentation within a month.

Additionally on Monday, the council unanimously approved spending $190,000 to repair and replace certain water meters in the city that have ceased to be functional, McGuire said.

McGuire said 297 of the city’s older meters no longer perform electronic readings properly, requiring city staff to do the readings manually. The repair and replacement work will be done internally.

The facts on wax

SPONSORED BY

Looking to get rid of some unwanted facial and body hair?

Waxing, which temporarily removes hair at the root, is an ideal alternative to the razor or tweezers, due to its longerlasting effects. It’s also a great method for removing large amounts of hair at one time.

Eterna MedSpa offers two types of waxing techniques.

With a strip wax, wax is applied and a strip is smoothed over it before being rapidly pulled off in the opposite direction of the hair growth. With hard wax, for those with more coarse hair, the wax is applied and takes about a minute to set. An edge is then lifted and the wax is pulled off.

The spa offers waxing services

for the upper lip, armpit, back, legs and the bikini area.

Clients can prepare for a Brazilian wax by making sure pubic hair is no longer than a 1/4-inch to 1/2-inch. If the hair is too short the wax will not be able to grip the hair follicle.

Depending on how quickly your hair grows, waxing treatments can last between three and six weeks. Compare that to having to shave every few days.

Another bonus to waxing: smoother skin. Clients can avoid the razor bumps, nicks or other skin irritations often associated with shaving. And the hair that grows back after a waxing tends to be softer.

If smooth, hair-free legs, armpits and bikini lines are what you’re after, schedule a free consultation today with one of Eterna’s licensed estheticians.

mmallory@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – One of the first homes motorists see when crossing the railroad tracks heading south on Route 126 into the village of Plainfield was approved for special use Monday.

The Plainfield Village Board voted 4-2 to grant approval of two-family residential use at 23904 W. Main St., which is in a business-zoned district.

The applicant signed a contract to buy the property contingent on the board’s approval. The lot houses an old, more than 5,000-square-foot home converted into a multi-family dwelling.

The area, near Route 30, features many old homes that have been converted into businesses.

Trustees Ed O’Rourke and Tom Ruane voted against the special use.

In a January meeting, the board authorized the village attorney to prepare an ordinance for a later vote. Ruane was appointed as the newest trustee Monday, so he was not on the board at the previous meeting.

The board’s approval Monday night makes the special use official.

Ruane said he sees the situation as the

applicant buying time until surrounding properties get improved.

“I’ve never been a fan of putting residential usage in the middle of a highly trafficked intersection,” Ruane said. “I’d be afraid if there were kids there.”

Trustee Ed O’Rourke said if the new owner remodels the property to serve as a residence, that might make it more difficult for a business to redevelop it.

Trustee Bill Lamb said the property owner is planning to spend $50,000 on renovations to the home.

Village President Mike Collins noted the property was used as a day care for a long time, but that was when there were fewer people coming in and out of the village.

Lamb said the property owner wouldn’t be against the property eventually being converted to a commercial use.

“Meanwhile, we get some immediate improvement and long term, it fits in with our plans,” Lamb said.

Trustee Brian Wojowski said he generally doesn’t like having residential use in a business district, but he believes the good outweighs the bad in this situation.

“They’re going to put some money in the property and develop it versus just leaving it the way it is,” Wojowski said.

Channahon might freeze pay for elected officials

By JEANNE MILLSAP

Shaw Media correspondent CHANNAHON – The Channahon Village Board is considering decreasing the compensation the village gives its eight elected officials for meeting attendance.

This fiscal year, village trustees and the village president receive $216 a meeting, which includes two committee meetings and two board meetings each month. The village clerk receives $108 a meeting.

Finance Director Heather Wagonblott said that the village began giving its elected officials annual 5 percent raises in 2005. At the end of this fiscal year, she said, the elected officials’ annual expenses will have increased by $32,221 during that period, from $45,360 to $77,581.

If the 5 percent increase continues to compound annually, Wagonblott told the board, the total compensation for elected officials will be $153,605 in the year 2030.

Wagonblott recommended the compensations be frozen as soon as possible. Several trustees said they were in favor of the freeze.

“I think we should move forward

with it,” Trustee Scott Slocum said.

“When I ran, I didn’t even know there were compensations.”

“We’re not serving for the compensation,” said Trustee Sam Greco.

Village President Missey Moorman Schumacher, also in favor of the freeze, said the board would bring up the proposal at its next meeting.

Trustees also got a look at proposed changes in building code ordinances on Monday.

The updates to code come after a recent downgrade in the village’s Insurance Services Office rating from 6 to 9, with 10 being the worst. The main reason for the significant drop, Channahon Director of Community Development Michael Petrick said, is that the village has not updated its building codes.

“We haven’t updated village [building] codes in about 11 years,” Petrick said.

Having a good Insurance Services Office rating means better homeowner insurance rates, village Building and Zoning Supervisor Steve Kuczkowski said, and can mean savings in the hundreds of thousands of dollars to developers.

Petrick said the updates also will simplify the codes, making them easier

to understand.

As an example of one of the proposed changes, Petrick said that if electricians are using electrical conduits in a home, arc-fault breakers are not necessary, except in bedrooms. As the code is now, all breakers are required to be arc-fault.

Changes also are being proposed in building fees, which Petrick said would bring them up to being cost-neutral for the village and more in line with neighboring villages. Channahon currently has low permit and plan review costs, Petrick said, and building permit fees have not increased since 2006.

The proposal calls for an increase in residential permit fees from 45 cents to 75 cents per square foot. Plan review fees could rise from 10 percent of the building permit cost to 25 percent. Also being proposed are increases in inspection fees, demolition fees and fees to move or raise buildings.

The effect of the proposed permit and plan review fee could be an increase of $1,106 on a 2,500 square-foot home.

The board could take action on the changes at its Feb. 20 meeting. If approved, Petrick said the changes would likely not go into effect until the beginning of the village’s fiscal year – May 1.

Also Monday, trustees approved an

intergovernmental agreement with the Channahon Township Road District to help fund the village’s Bridge Street multi-use path. Channahon recently was awarded a grant through the Illinois Transportation Enhancement Program to design and construct a portion of the path. The $853,000 grant requires that 20 percent of the project costs be funded with local money.

In the intergovernmental agreement, the village will pay $50,620, and the township will pay $120,000. The village already has contributed about $180,000 for Phase 1 engineering, which included establishing alignment, looking at environmental considerations and determining necessary land acquisition.

The grant and the contributions of the village and township, Village Administrator Thomas Durkin said, will pay for only about a third of the total costs of the path. Durkin said staff will investigate additional funding for the remaining $2 million needed to complete it.

The bike path is planned to be 10 feet wide and eventually would run along Route 6 between Hunter’s Crossing and McKinley Woods Road and over the I & M Canal, adjacent to Bridge Street.

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.

Central Principal Shad Hallihan said 51 Central students took an exam in 2011 and 382 took one in 2016.

“Growth like that does not come without challenges,” Hallihan said.

“This [award] is also about non-AP teachers and guidance counselors who saw the potential in someone to recommend them for the program.”

Trevor Packer, senior vice pres-

ident of the College Board’s AP program said scores normally go down when more students are added to AP classes.

“Over the past few years, 200 more students have joined and [Central and West’s] scores have gone up,” Packer said. “That’s incredibly rare.

Only 3 percent of the schools in the country see that.”

Courtney Barrowman, a teacher at West, said the students deserved the recognition for changing AP from “a few classes [into] a program.”

“You are being recognized for all the hard work you have put in from the very beginning,” she said. “... The real success is your ability to think like scholars.”

Joan worked for S.O.S. and Miles Laboratory in Bedford Park, IL, for over 20 years and was also a housekeeper for several business and offices in downtown Joliet. While she truly enjoyed her work years, she was happiest in her roles as loving wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother.

While Joan never drove a car a day in her life, she wore out the wheels on strollers, since she “walked” her grandsons Scott and Steve all over town during their pre-school years. Up until just this past fall, she took daily walks with her walker to stay active and fit. She was also fond of playing bingo, cards and chatting with folks, even strangers, who found both she and her cute English accent most endearing. Joan will be so very, very missed. To know her was to love her.

A celebration of Joan’s life will begin on Friday, February 10, 2017 with prayers in the funeral home chapel at 9:20 a.m. then driving in procession to Holy Cross Catholic Church, 826 Elizabeth Street, Joliet, IL, for a Mass of Christian Burial to be held at 10:00 a.m. Interment to follow at Holy Cross Cemetery in Joliet.

Visitation will be on Thursday, February 9, 2017 at Tezak Funeral Home, 1211 Plainfield Road, Joliet from 3:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.

Senate ‘silencing’ gives Warren national boost

By ERICA WERNER

The Associated Press WASHINGTON – The turbulent national debate over race, gender and free speech consumed the normally staid Senate on Wednesday after the GOP majority voted to silence Sen. Elizabeth Warren, abruptly elevating her celebrity status at a moment when liberals are hungry for a leader to take on Donald Trump.

The highly unusual rebuke of the Massachusetts Democrat came as the Senate weighed President Trump’s choice for attorney general, GOP Sen. Jeff Sessions of Alabama, who secured confirmation on a nearly party-line vote Wednesday evening. It also gave frustrated Democrats a rallying cry weeks into a presidency that is dividing the country as few before.

“I certainly hope that this anti-free-speech attitude is not traveling down Pennsylvania Avenue to our great chamber,” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York warned darkly as Democrats jumped at an opening to link the GOP’s conduct to that of Trump himself. “This is not what America is about – silencing speech, especially in this chamber.”

Republicans argued they were just trying to enforce necessary rules of decorum in a Senate that is a last bulwark of civil debate in an angry nation.

“I hope that maybe we’ve all been chastened a little bit,” chided the No. 2 Senate Republican, John Cornyn of Texas.

“We’re at a pretty challenging time in our nation’s history when many people who were surprised and disappointed at the last election are unwilling to accept the results. ... I only hope that after the passage of some time they will return to their senses.”

But the debate immediately took on overtones of race and gender. Warren was re-

Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., reacts to being rebuked Wednesday by the Senate leadership and accused of impugning a fellow senator, then-Attorney General-designate, Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., on Capitol Hill in Washington. Sessions was confirmed Wednesday. buked as she was reading a letter by Martin Luther King Jr.’s widow, Coretta Scott King, opposing Sessions’ ultimately unsuccessful nomination to a federal judgeship in 1986. Subsequently several male Democratic senators stood up and read from the same letter but without drawing objections, leading Democratic activists to proclaim that Senate Republicans were interested only in silencing a woman.

The moment inspired a Twitter hashtag, #LetLizSpeak, and clips from C-SPAN2 went viral. “By silencing Elizabeth Warren, the GOP gave women around the world a rallying cry,” fellow Democratic Sen. Kamala Harris of California said over Twitter.

Warren was chastised under a little-used Senate regulation, Rule 19, which bars any senator from impugning the motives of any other or imputing “any conduct or motive unworthy or unbecoming of a senator.” The Senate historian’s office could not immediately say when the rule was last invoked, but Democrats accused Republicans of selectively enforcing it. They noted the GOP did not apply

it when, for example, Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas accused Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of lying in relation to a dispute over the Export-Import Bank two years ago.

This time, Warren drew a warning from the presiding officer as she quoted Tuesday evening from a letter written by the late Sen. Ted Kennedy of Massachusetts that referred to Sessions as “a disgrace.” She continued with her speech, and began quoting from Coretta Scott King’s letter and an accompanying statement that accused Sessions, a federal prosecutor at the time, of using the power of his office to “chill the free exercise of the vote by black citizens.”

Democrats are portraying Sessions as a threat to civil rights, voting rights and immigration; Republicans have defended Trump’s choice to be the top law enforcement officer as a man of integrity who will be an independent voice in the new administration.

McConnell stood and invoked Rule 19, saying that Warren has “impugned the motives and conduct of our colleague from Alabama” in quoting the words from Mrs. King.

It’s not that I have anything against Munger. She strikes me as a bright, talented individual, who showed herself to be more than capable dealing with the state’s finances during the most challenging fiscal time in its history.

But, let’s be blunt. She got her keister kicked in November by Democrat Susana Mendoza.

The voters weighed Munger’s two years in office and found her lacking.

Sometimes the voters can be foolish. (After all, these are the same folks who elected Rod Blagojevich – twice.)

Nonetheless, in a democracy, elections have consequences.

But in the 18 years I’ve covered Illinois politics, I’ve seen governors blunt those consequences time and time again with our money.

The characters change but the game stays the same.

Back in the bad old days, when Blagojevich was governor, an acerbic fellow from Peru, Illinois, named Pat Welch represented a broad swath of north-central Illinois in the state Senate. He sponsored some of Blagojevich’s most controversial budget measures.

That didn’t sit too well with the voters back home and he was voted out of office.

Almost immediately after the election, I heard Democratic lawmakers quietly say: Blagojevich had better “take care” of Pat. Eventually, Blagojevich hired him for a high-paying position in the Department of Revenue. And by all accounts he did a fine job there.

And, of course, when Pat Quinn was governor, his administration became a safe haven for plenty of losers – particularly after the 2011 income tax hike.

We’ll never know for sure what was going through a particular lawmaker’s mind in the waning minutes of their political careers.

But we do know some of these folks whom the voters took off the state payroll ended up drawing state paychecks not long after their time

AMENDMENT

The Herald-News / TheHerald-News.com • Thursday, February 9, 2017

Same old politics VIEWS Scott Reeder in the legislature was through.

Just consider: • Former state Rep. Bob Flider became Quinn’s director of the Illinois Department of Agriculture.

The job paid $133,273.

• Former State Rep. Careen Gordon was first nominated for the state parole board, but after state Senators said they would not confirm her, the Quinn administration found a spot for her as a lawyer handling real-estate licensing. The job paid $84,000.

• The late State Rep. Mike Smith snagged a job with the Education Labor Relations Board that paid $93,926.

In fact, of the 12 lame-duck legislators who voted for the tax increase being pushed by Quinn in 2011, at least six were later hired by him.

So, when I hear Democrats clucking their tongues over Rauner hiring Munger, I just roll my eyes.

This has been standard operating procedure in Springfield for many years. It happened under Republicans and Democrats alike.

That doesn’t make it right. It just makes it common.

Illinois governors like to follow the adage: Take care of those who take care of you.

And that’s why I find Rauner’s behavior disappointing. He presented himself to the voters as a businessman, not a politician. He pledged to change how the state operates and to run it like a business.

Both are admirable goals.

But instead, we get the same old political shenanigans. State jobs shouldn’t serve as soft landing pads for defeated politicians.

After all, our money deserves to be handled more wisely.

Governor Rauner, we expect more from you.

These people are not trained in law enforcement but to vanquish and kill the enemy. Just how many people are to be devoted to this?

WRESTLING: SECTIONAL PREVIEW

MOMENT OF TRUTH

Class 3A wrestlers seek trip to IHSA finals

By CURT HERRON

cherron@shawmedia.com While many of the area’s top wrestlers are looking forward to what they might accomplish at next weekend’s IHSA finals in Champaign, they have to get there first.

And for the individuals who advanced from last weekend’s regionals, Saturday is the moment of truth to find out who is state-bound and who will miss that goal.

Eighty-one of the 83 local wrestlers who still are competing individually in Class 3A will do so at the Normal Community Sectional, which begins at 4:30 p.m. Friday, with the other two sessions scheduled for 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. Saturday.

Lockport leads the way among local teams at Normal with 13 qualifiers, while Lincoln-Way West advanced 12 individuals. Minooka has 10 qualifiers, Plainfield South has nine, Providence Catholic advanced eight and Lincoln-Way East has seven.

“Our team has been improving since the beginning of the year each and every week, and they are trusting all the hard work they have put in over the season,” Lincoln-Way West coach Brian Glynn said. “This week will be a challenge, but a challenge that the guys have been waiting for all year.”

According to the most recent rankings by Illinois Matmen, a wrestler from an area school is favored in 10 of the 14 weight classes and is the second pick in eight weight classes. The top-four finishers in each weight class earn a trip to Champaign.

Lockport has four individuals who are favored at their weight class and four others who are regarded as sec-

WRESTLING: WILMINGTON

By CURT HERRON

cherron@shawmedia.com

• Thursday, February 9, 2017

WILMINGTON – After rattling off a streak of 11 straight regional titles from 2002-12, during which they won three straight state titles and two other trophies while making eight trips to state, Wilmington’s wrestlers seemed to be on top of the world in classes A and 1A. But during the next four seasons, strong Plano and Coal City teams were in the regional with coach Rob Murphy’s Wildcats. So after winning regional titles by an average of 78.5 points during their run, they suddenly lost the next four by an average of 46.8 points.

After finishing behind the Coalers at Abe’s Rumble and the Princeton Invitational during the season and then falling to them in the Interstate Eight Conference meet and in a late-season dual, it looked like the frustration might continue for the Wildcats.

But competing in its own regional Saturday, No. 5 Wilmington knocked off No. 1 Coal City, 198-192, for the title, and denied coach Mark Masters’ Coalers the chance to improve upon third- and second-place finishes the last two seasons at state.

As a result, the Wildcats have an opportunity to claim their first state trophy since 2010.

The Coalers had a four to two edge in titles won, but Wildcats sent all 14 wrestlers to the awards stand and qualified 13 for this weekend’s Coal City Sectional, while the Coalers advanced 10 individuals.

“At varsity conference, we were shy one guy or we would have been right there with them and that gave our guys a lot of confidence,” Murphy said. “Last year, we knocked them off in the dual and they won the regional and this year, give them credit, they took it to us. After that, our guys got a fire in their belly and we worked real hard. We told our guys that we could win the regional and they believed, and if you believe, you always have a chance to win.

“They have a great program and coach Masters has been doing a great job. I was just really happy with the way that our kids have practiced.

They’re peaking at the right time and we’re looking for good things down the road at individual sectionals and dual team sectionals. It’s good to be in the hunt again and I think that we might surprise a few people.”

The Wildcats received championships from Bobby Shields (145) and Josh Jones (285).

“It was awesome to win, knowing

Wilmington’s wrestling team celebrates after defeating top-ranked Coal City, 198-192, for the Wilmington Regional title. The Wildcats’ first regional championship since 2012. they were the number one team in the state and they had beaten us four times,” Shields said. “It was definitely a great feeling at the end of the day.

It was awesome to have 13 sectional qualifiers and one alternate. It was great to see everyone wrestling as a team. One of these times we were going to get them and I’m glad we got them at regionals. And I think that we have a good chance of getting another trophy for the case.”

Claiming second-place finishes were Tyler Rock (106), Corbin Hunt (120), Nick Pretto (152), Mason VanDuyne (160), Caleb Gougis (170) and Sam Jones (220).

“We thought we could beat them, but we just had to go out and put it on the mat,” Pretto said. “We all had to come together and we wrestled

our best and came out on top. We did what we needed to do because our mind was set on getting back to state.

This was very important to all of the seniors because this was our last chance and we want to go out with a bang. I like our family feeling. We all get along really well and blend together to make a great team.”

Also qualifying for the sectional were Ryan Shields (113), Clayton VanDuyne (126), Matt Nutt (132), James Cox (182) and Jesse Cox (2014) while Landon Flynn (138) is an alternate.

“Coal City is our rivals and they do everything the right way, and that’s why we respect them so much,” James Cox said. “They had more champions than us, but we had 13 qualifiers and dominated the third-

place matches. This has been a long time coming. I feel like we’ve always had a good team and coaches but just fallen short. We’re very close and even though we have a lot of different personalities, we bond well and have the same goal in mind.”

The Wildcats again have a chance to compete on the last day of the season.

“It was a real good day and we all wrestled well,” Gougis said. “All that we were thinking about for a week were different ways that we could beat Coal City. Losing to them definitely pushed us to work harder. We really wanted to do this for Murph, since all he’s been talking about was how good of a team we were and how we could make it to dual team this year.”

GIRLS BOWLING: ANDREW SECTIONAL PREVIEW

By JEFF DE GRAW

Shaw Media correspondent

• Thursday, February 9, 2017

JOLIET – When you look at the regional results for girls bowling and compare the teams for the sectionals, in most cases it is a difficult task because of the different venues for the regionals.

That is not necessarily the case for Saturday’s Andrew Sectional at Orland Bowl in Orland Park.

Two of the three regionals that qualified for the sectional were at Town & Country Lanes, with the other regional held at Skyway Bowl in Chicago.

The top four teams and top five individuals not on a qualifying team will advance from each sectional to the state finals at Cherry Bowl in Rockford.

On paper, it appears six teams are in the running for the four qualifying spots. But in bowling circles, this sectional clearly sports one of the top teams in the state in Lockport, which ran away with the Plainfield South Regional. So that leaves three spots open.

The Porters have one of the deepest teams in the state with six interchangeable bowlers in what Lockport coach Art Cwudzinski calls his super six.

Lockport does not rely on one or two bowlers each week. All season long, each bowler has had her run as the team’s best. But given that the depth is invaluable, it also can cause tough decisions for Cwudzinski.

“I have no clue on the lineup for sectional,” the veteran coach said.

“But sometimes that is good. Depth is a positive and we know if someone is off, we have another bowler who can step in without missing a beat.

Unfortunately, someone has to sit to start the match.”

While this veteran Porters’ squad is the odds-on favorite to win the sectional, Cwudzinski knows it is merely a matter of advancing.

“The mindset must be to qualify for the state finals,” he said. “Winning is nice, but getting there is the most important goal.”

One of the super six is senior Marissa Ramirez, who finished third overall at the regional.

“At the beginning of the season, we all set team and individual goals,” she said. “We don’t talk about it much because we have to be prepared each and every week. Our drive all season long has been to make the shot, one ball and one frame at a time.”

Depth lifts Lockport into role of favorite

Lockport girls bowling coach Art Cwudzinski covers his ears as his team cheers after winning the sectional last year at Town & Country Lanes in Joliet. The Porters shoot for another sectional crown Saturday in the Andrew Sectional at Orland Bowl.

One team looking to grab one of those other qualifying spots is Minooka. The Indians won their own regional Saturday and look to be peaking at the right time of the season.

“The only thing you control in this sport is how you bowl, you can’t play defense,” Minooka coach Frank Yudzentis said. “I believe we are coming together at the right time of the season. That is what you hope for, bowling your best when it matters most.

The key is to pick up the spares, or get the count in your favor when it’s needed.”

Lincoln-Way West hopes to qualify after a third-place finish in the Minooka Regional.

“On paper, I feel we are one of the top six teams, so that means we have to beat two,” West coach Scott Jablonski said. “We have an experienced group that knows what’s ahead of them. We really worked this week on cleaning up some things that were sloppy at the regional. The deeper you

go, the more critical it is to stay away from that one bad game as a team.”

Lincoln-Way East has the ninthbest regional score coming in and is a long shot, but Griffins coach Carlie Premo is excited about her team’s chances.

“We will be bowling on our home lanes,” Premo said. “We have the potential and we really started to come together at the regional. We are excited and if you are in it, anything can happen. Everyone still must go out and bowl. This is what it’s all about.”

Of course, you also have teams that want to ruin the party for the Joliet-area teams. Andrew finished second in the Minooka Regional, and Oswego East, Oswego and Yorkville qualified behind Lockport. Thornton Fractional South won the Chicago Brooks Regional and looks to be the only serious contender for a qualifying spot out of that regional.

Individually, there are 30 bowlers, plus any from teams that do not qual-

ify, battling for five spots at state. The Joliet area will be well represented in that regard with individual sectional qualifiers from seven schools.

Plainfield Central and Lincoln-Way Central each qualified three. The Wildcats have Heather Petkewicz, Esmeralda Flores and Megan Allensworth, while the Knights will be represented by Maddy Willson, Maria Buck and Kalei Bass.

Joliet West will have Karlee Barton and Alexis Robbins, and Joliet Central be represented by Tara Tindall and Rarina Lukas.

Plainfield North sends Bekah Syers and Jenna Sussenbach. Romeoville qualified Erin Cosner, and Kyla Owens will be there from Lemont.

You can look at any competition on paper and pick who you think will qualify. But bowling not only is a sport, it is one of the most unpredictable sports.

This weekend at Orland Bowl probably will be just that – unpredictable.

‘Last Game in Fizz’ a Feb. 18 can’t-miss VIEWS Dick Goss The local February sports calendar is filled with anticipation.

Nothing, however, can match what we have coming up Feb. 18.

That’s the day several of our area wrestlers are sure to be pursuing state medals. It’s the day local girls bowling teams and girls gymnastics teams will have the opportunity to win a state championship.

It’s the day of the only meeting of the regular season between the Joliet West and Central boys basketball teams. The two will tangle at 1 p.m. that afternoon at Central. If the Joliet West at Bolingbrook game Jan. 24 was our game of the year, this one is 1A, as the Tigers and Steelmen both are 19-3.

Then again, this might not be the only time West and Central get together. They appear destined to be the Nos. 2 and 3 seeds in the Class 4A Lincoln-Way East Sectional. If that occurs – the coaches’ online voting results will be released the afternoon of Feb. 16 – the two could tangle as regional champions in the sectional semifinal.

Of course, if you are a basketball fan and have the opportunity to extend your day beyond the big game downtown, my suggestion is to jump into your car when it ends and head to Joliet Junior College for the DuPage at JJC men’s matchup, which tips off at 3 p.m.

JJC’s Robbie Brooks puts up a shot against Olive-Harvey earlier this season. Brooks and the Wolves will play the school’s final regular-season game at Fizz Wills Gymnasium against DuPage at 3 p.m. Feb. 18.

Wolves and DuPage being longtime rivals, is this will be the last regular-season game played at Fizz Wills Gymnasium, which has been home to JJC indoor sporting events since the 1972-73 school year. The wrestling program, which will resume intercollegiate competition next school year, will use Wills Gymnasium as its base, but basketball and volleyball will play in the state-of-the-art JJC Event Center on campus.

The new facility will feature two basketball courts, athletic staff

offices, a weight training and conditioning area, locker rooms and other amenities.

The school and the athletic department are anxious to show off their new home. In that regard, JJC has scheduled a full day of activities. If your day does not begin with a trip to Joliet Central for the battle against Joliet West, note that an alumni shootaround is set for 10:30 a.m. at JJC, a new facility tour will begin at 12:30 p.m. and a pregame meeting with the team is set for 2 p.m.

Before the tipoff, Wolves coach Joe Kuhn will be honored for his 2017 selection to the NJCAA Basketball Hall of Fame. Kuhn will become the second Hall of Fame basketball coach from JJC, joining the legendary Fizz Wills, who was inducted in 1984.

Kuhn, who is second on the JJC career wins list behind Wills, was inducted into the Illinois Basketball Coaches Hall of Fame in 2015. His 2010 team won the NJCAA Division III national championship. His teams have won seven conference titles and made six trips to the national tournament, including three championship-game appearances and four final fours.

At halftime of the game against DuPage, the 1991-92 Region IV championship team will be honored as it celebrates the 25th anniversary of its accomplishment.

To cap the day, a postgame get-together for all Wolves’ fans and current and former players is planned for 5:30 p.m. at Cemeno’s Restaurant on Essington Road. The cost for pizza and refreshments is $20.

Note that Kuhn also has a limited supply of “One Last Jump Ball” T-shirts available for $10 each, commemorating the final game in Wills Gym. And, he has T-shirts, game shorts and jerseys available for $5 each in what he is calling the JJC Closet Sale.

Pre-ordering, especially the “One Last Jump Ball” T-shirts, is suggested because supplies are limited. Call 815280-2431 or email jkuhn@jjc.edu for information.

Falcons shaking up staff after SB collapse The ASSOCIATED PRESS FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. – After squandering a 25-point lead in the Super Bowl, the Atlanta Falcons are shaking up their defensive staff.

The team said Wednesday that coach Dan Quinn has dismissed coordinator Richard Smith and defensive line coach Bryan Cox, though there’s a chance Smith could stay with the Falcons in an advisory role.

The changes mean the NFC champions will have two new coordinators next season. Kyle Shanahan left to become head coach of the San Francisco 49ers and was replaced as offensive coordinator by Steve Sarkisian.

Also, the Falcons promoted Keith Carter to running backs coach with Bobby Turner reportedly leaving to

join Shanahan’s staff in San Francisco. In addition, they will need a new quarterbacks coach; Matt LaFleur is expected to be named offensive coordinator of the Los Angeles Rams.

Smith will likely be replaced by a coach already on staff. The Falcons are considering defensive backs coach Marquand Manuel, linebackers coach Jeff Ulbrich and defensive passing game coordinator Jerome Henderson.

Manuel interviewed for the defensive coordinator post in Jacksonville last season.

The 61-year-old Smith served as defensive coordinator during Quinn’s first two seasons in Atlanta, after previously working as a linebackers coach in Denver. He has more than a quarter-century of NFL coaching experience.

Toews’ goal in OT lifts Hawks over Wild

By PATRICK DONNELLY The Associated Press

ST. PAUL, Minn. – Jonathan Toews scored a power-play goal 3:09 into overtime to lift the Blackhawks over the Western Conference-leading Minnesota Wild, 4-3, on Wednesday night.

Ryan Suter was called for holding midway through the overtime, and with the man advantage, Toews slipped a rebound between the skates of goalie Darcy Kuemper. The Hawks closed within five points of the Wild for the conference lead.

Toews also had two assists, and Richard Panik had a goal and an assist. Corey Crawford stopped 35 of 38 shots as the Hawks snapped an eightgame regular-season losing streak against Minnesota.

Nino Niederreiter had two assists for the Wild, and Kuemper had 28 saves.

Minnesota’s Erik Haula scored with 3:03 left in the third period to tie it at 3. Defenseman Marco Scandella carried the puck from behind his own blue line deep into the Hawks’ zone, then feathered a backhanded pass across the goalmouth, where Haula

was waiting to tip it past Crawford.

The Wild entered with a strong lead in the Central Division and have played two fewer games than the second-place Hawks. However, Minnesota played Tuesday night at Winnipeg, while the Hawks had been resting since a Feb. 4 game at Dallas.

Perhaps feeling the effect of that late-night flight, the Wild looked sluggish early as the Hawks raced to a 2-0 lead. Ryan Hartman started the scoring at 10:54 of the first period when Vinnie Hinostroza carried the puck deep into the Minnesota zone and centered to the slot, where Hartman onetimed it past Kuemper.

The Hawks doubled their lead 1:09 into the second period as Toews found Nick Schmaltz alone in front of the net for an easy tap-in.

Minnesota got one back 37 seconds later when Jared Spurgeon finished a rush with a wrist shot over Crawford’s left shoulder.

That goal energized the Wild, who outshot the Hawks, 19-10, in the second period and dominated the next 15 minutes of play.

Zach Parise tied it at 7:15 of the

E-Z

second on a disputed goal. Charlie Coyle threw the puck toward the net, and Parise, with his back to the goal, tipped it between his legs. Crawford made the save, but Parise spun around and chipped the rebound over the goalie.

The Hawks challenged the play, arguing that Parise had been offside when Minnesota’s rush began. After a lengthy delay, the officials ruled the video evidence was inconclusive and the call stood.

Late in the period, Panik put the Hawks on top, 3-2, when he controlled a pass from Niklas Hjalmarsson and tucked the puck just inside the post.

Notes: Wednesday’s game was the first of a franchise-record eight-game homestand for Minnesota. ... The Wild recalled D Gustav Olofsson from Iowa of the AHL. He replaced D Mike Reilly, who was sent to Iowa. ... Coyle played in his 284th consecutive game, breaking Antti Laaksonen’s franchise record. Laaksonen played for the Wild from 2000 to 2004.

Up next: The Hawks’ six-game road trip continues on Friday night at Winnipeg.

Bluiett leads No. 24 Xavier to win over DePaul “I think we’re trying to find our way as a team right now,” Cyrus said.

“We just have to find a way to play together.”

The Musketeers dominated the boards, 37-22, getting 13 offensive rebounds.

“When you play Xavier, you’ve got to bring your hard hat,” DePaul coach Dave Leitao said. “Today it was rebounding and in the second half they dominated us on it. They’re fierce that way.”

Xavier got the early lead by making 3s – 5 of 7 to open the game – and then went inside for dunks in the final 3 minutes of the first half. Gaston had nine points during a closing 12-5 spurt that put the Musketeers in control, 41-34, at the break.

“DePaul was pressing and I’m all the way back at the end of the press,” Gaston said. “I was just receiving it for the easy dunks and layups.”

Ohio State 70, Rutgers 64: At Columbus, Ohio, Kam Williams had 23 points and Trevor Thompson added 15 points and 13 rebounds as Ohio State beat Rutgers on Wednesday night.

Williams hit a 3-pointer and a sub-

sequent foul shot to break a 62-62 tie at 1:05 after Rutgers had overcame a 12-point deficit. After Ohio State’s Jae-Sean Tate missed a pair of foul shots, Rutgers’ Deshawn Freeman tipped in a rebound to cut the lead to two, but the Scarlet Knights ran out of time.

Corey Sanders led Rutgers with 17 points but fouled out with just under five minutes left in the game.

The Scarlet Knights (13-12, 2-10) lost their 10th Big Ten game of the season against a pair of conference wins.

Ohio State (15-10, 5-7 Big Ten) won its second straight and is still holding out hope it can get back to the NCAA Tournament after missing the cut last season.

With the game tied at 10 with 13:23 left in the first half, Ohio State went on a 10-2 run, led by as many as 11 and held a 33-27 advantage at halftime. Tate had 11 points in the first 20 minutes, missing just one shot, but he wouldn’t score again, missing the two foul shots down the stretch.

The Buckeyes prevailed despite turning the ball over 15 times, leading to 19 Rutgers points.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL ROUNDUP CINCINNATI – Trevon Bluiett has been Xavier’s one constant during a time of transition.

Bluiett scored 20 points for the fifth time in six games, and the 24thranked Musketeers overcame sloppy ball handling and pulled away to their fourth straight victory, 72-61, over DePaul on Wednesday night.

The Musketeers (18-6, 8-3 Big East) kept it close with 19 turnovers, a symptom of their lack of depth at point guard since Edmond Sumner tore an ACL last month. RaShid Gaston dominated the closing minutes of the first half as Xavier finally gained control. Gaston tied his season high with 14 points overall.

Bluiett has scored 24, 40, 21, 24, 16 and 20 points in the last six games despite playing with a sprained ankle.

“Trevon is a phenomenal player, a great shooter,” said forward Kaiser Gates, who had a career-high 10 rebounds. “I’m really impressed. He’s very resilient. He’s not going to quit on us at any time.”

DePaul (8-16, 1-10) trailed by as many as 15 points in the second half as it lost its seventh straight. Freshman Brandon Cyrus led the Blue Demons with a career-high 18 points.

CONCORD, N.C. – NASCAR will not permit damaged race cars to return to the track this season unless the repairs can be made on pit road within a tight window.

The ban on wrecked race cars continuing to compete was announced Wednesday in a series of a rule updates for the 2017 season.

Beginning later this month at Daytona, if a car receives enough damage during an on-track incident that it must go to the garage for repairs, the team will not be allowed to repair it in an effort to get back on track. Damaged vehicles can be repaired on pit road during a five-minute cumulative time limit.

Under the new process: – Body repairs are limited to the removal or reattachment of original parts with fasteners and tape.

– Rods and supports may be used to reinforce original panels.

– New or previously unused body panels are prohibited.

NASCAR said the new rule prevents severely damaged race cars from re-

turning to the track and creating a safety hazard for other teams. Under NASCAR’s new format of running races in stages, it also means a car that wrecks in an early stage won’t be eligible to return for the final race-winning stage.

Not allowing teams to repair cars in the garage should be a significant saving on costs for teams.

It also could have cost Jimmie Johnson the 2009 title. He was involved in an early accident at Texas Motor Speedway, and his crew feverishly worked in the garage to make enough repairs to get Johnson back on the track. That effort by the Hendrick Motorsports crew is widely considered to have saved his title chances.

NASCAR also announced it will have a traveling safety crew starting this season, creating a consistent medical staff that drivers have been pushing for the last several years. The safety crew will come from American Medical Response and ensure that a physician and paramedics are in the safety vehicle at all Monster Energy Cup events. AMR also will provide a small group that will travel to each race, and a physician who will serve as NASCAR’s primary doctor.

Muslim Association of Bolingbrook to host open house Feb. 18

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

BOLINGBROOK – The recent political climate concerning Muslims isn’t the main reason the Muslim Association of Bolingbrook is hosting an open house Feb. 18.

MAB has hosted similar events four times since 2015, Aamer Abdul-Jaleel of MAB, said. In fact, a local church asked for the first one and 40 people attended. So MAB decided to host more open houses and invite the community.

About 150 people of all ages attended the second one, giving them a change to meet members of MAB and “break bread” with them. Such informal gatherings are opportunities to overcome prejudices and misconceptions, Abdul-Jaleel said, adding that working to do so now is probably more important than ever based on the current climate.

“We saw how a Schaumburg mosque held a similar open house with the help of Dr. Sabeel Ahmed, who is helping us,” Abdul-Jaleel said. “They had 500 show up a week after the elections.”

Ahmed is the director of Gain Peace, an outreach division within the Islamic Circle of North America.

He said the open house will consist of a tour of the mosque with an opportunity to watch how Muslims pray, using chants, bows and prostrations.

“We also stand in a certain direction,” Ahmed said. “When we pray, we face Mecca.”

In addition, attendees will hear a short presentation of “what Islam is and what Islam is not,” and refreshments consisting of “some nice ethnic food,” which attendees in the past have appreciated, Ahmed said.

“We want them to understand we are neighbors, getting to know each other for the common good of society,” Ahmed said. “That is part of understanding people so we can work with each other and build a society for each other.”

Entering a mosque is a little different from entering a Christian church. Each person, including guests, removes his or her shoes.

Muslims sit on the carpet, but chairs are provided for visitors, Ahmed said.

ABOVE: The Muslim Association of Bolingbrook hosted an Eid celebration in 2016. Eid is a religious holiday that marks the end of a period of fasting. BELOW: Islamic Circle North America and the Muslim Association of Bolingbrook participated in a backpack giveaway. The backpacks, stuffed with back-to-school supplies for children of any religious faith in need, were delivered to Valley View School District 365U. Another difference is the lack of any form of art, including crucifixes, images and symbols, Ahmed said. Instead, Muslims pray to the God that is unseen, the same God that Jews and Christians acknowledge.

“We are not that much different,” Ahmed said. “We believe in the scriptures and the prophets, and we believe in Jesus and Moses and Abraham as mighty prophets, and we hold onto the values that are in the Old and New Testament.”

Muslims, Ahmed said, are a peaceful community.

Other outreach events Periodic open houses aren’t the only way MAB connects with the greater community. Anwaar Khan, president of MAB, said MAB also hosts backpack events which provide school supplies to local children who need them at the start of the school year.

Khan said MAB has also hosted blood and bone marrow drives. Currently, MAB offers four outreach events a year with hopes of increasing that amount. Khan anticipates several hundred people will attend the Feb. 18 open house.

ASK THE DOCTORS Elizabeth Ko and Eve Glazier to research conducted at Johns Hopkins University, the number of prescriptions for Adderall among young adults remains steady. However, levels of abuse, as well as visits to the emergency room due to adverse effects of that abuse, has spiked.

The newest research shows that misuse of Adderall is highest among young adults between the ages of 18 and 25. Although some may obtain their own prescriptions, most are either buying the medication illegally, or are getting it from family members or friends.

Between 2009 and 2011, the time period covered by the study, use of Adderall among young adults without a prescription rose by 67 percent. During that same time period, ER visits associated with non-prescription Adderall use rose by more than 150 percent.

The drug has a reputation as a study aid that increases concentration and sharpens focus. But non-prescription use of Adderall carries serious risks.

Common side effects include stomach upset, increased heart rate, dizziness, dry mouth and mood swings. Adderall is a controlled substance, and possession without a prescription is a felony.

The bottom line is that non-prescription use of Adderall for any reason is both dangerous and illegal.

Dear Doctor: I know that Adderall is prescribed to children with ADHD. But lately, I’ve been reading stories about college kids who use Adderall to help them study. What is Adderall and who should take it?

Dear Reader: You’ve hit on a topic that’s timely, complex and quite often controversial. When prescribed and used properly, Adderall can be beneficial. But as with any prescription drug, off-label use can create a host of problems.

Look at first-person accounts and you’ll find numerous parents of children with ADHD – that’s attention deficit hyperactivity disorder – who detail the ways that Adderall has helped their son or daughter. But it doesn’t take much digging to find that abuse of the drug is a growing problem.

Let’s start with the drug itself. Adderall is the brand name of a prescription drug composed of two stimulants – amphetamine and dextroamphetamine. It has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration to treat children, adolescents and adults who have been diagnosed with ADHD, a condition marked by a cluster of disruptive behaviors.

These may include agitation, lack of focus, disorganization, forgetfulness, fidgeting, excessive talking or frequent interrupting. Adderall is not approved for use by anyone younger than 6 years old.

As with all stimulants, Adderall increases the levels of dopamine in the brain. Dopamine is a chemical known as a neurotransmitter, which plays a role in learning ability, movement, attention and in feelings of pleasure or even euphoria.

Adderall helps people with ADHD feel calm and remain focused.

The problem is that Adderall abuse among young adults is rising. According

is far too late for them to start learning about sex. By then, they have probably received an abundance of misinformation about it from their friends. Children are naturally curious about the world around them. That’s why “the talk” should start as soon as a child begins asking questions.

The facts don’t have to be given all at once; the conversation should be ongoing, with more information added in an age-appropriate way.

Dear Abby: My “boyfriend” and I are in our mid-40s. Three-and-a-half years ago, he was in a bad accident. Because our relationship seemed to be getting serious, he moved into my house. He was planning on returning to construction work a few months later, once his doctor cleared him.

Unfortunately, the doctor said he would never be able to resume work in construction. He applied for Social Security Disability and, after two years of paperwork and waiting, he was denied.

He keeps himself busy by painting pictures.

Occasionally, he sells one or two paintings online or through art shows. However, what he earns is not nearly enough to support himself. I had to take a significant pay cut at work, and I’m having a hard time supporting both of us. My savings are being depleted, and my credit card balance is skyrocketing.

I have told him repeatedly that he needs to get a job. He could work – he just can’t go back to construction. He insists he’s going to make it big selling art. I tell him art is his hobby, not his career. I have also told him that I’m a financial wreck and that I’m going to lose my house, but he doesn’t care. He says, “Buy a smaller house.”

I tell him he has to get a job or move out, but he doesn’t do either. I’m ready to sell my house and live in a small apartment by myself. But I can’t get him to leave. What can I do? – Over This in

had planned to wait until my daughter was 12 and in the sixth grade to teach her about sex. Unfortunately, she was given a very graphically described education by a playmate. Her playmate was in second grade. My daughter was in the third grade. I was devastated. Not only did I feel she was too young, I felt robbed of an experience that should be cherished between a mother and daughter. I believe parents should decide when to teach their children about sex. When I confronted the mother, she deflected by becoming offended that I would assume they weren’t responsible parents. She defended her daughter by saying, “Kids will talk. I’m sure she wasn’t out to ruin your daughter’s world.” Am I wrong to be so offended? – Offended in New

MOTORCYCLES WANTED Carmine Gallo, an expert in business communications and leadership skills, said, “Nothing is more dramatic than a well-placed pause.”

That pause might also be critical in a comedy. At the bridge table, though, we might need one card to be well-placed. In this deal, South was in six hearts. Which one card did he hope East held? How did South play after West led the spade 10?

South’s jump to four hearts, a superaccept, promised four-card support and a good hand for hearts.

I believe, though, that the hand should have had a doubleton.

Declarer had 10 top tricks: two spades, six hearts and two diamonds.

He could have established a club winner and had two finesses that he might have tried.

There was a temptation to take the spade finesse at trick one, but South realized that that could wait. If he could just find East with the club ace, the contract was safe.

Declarer took the first trick with his spade king, drew trumps ending on the board and led dummy’s club.

East defended well by not taking the trick. However, South won with his king, ruffed the club three, played a trump to his hand, led the club queen and, instead of ruffing it, discarded dummy’s low diamond.

East took the trick, but was endplayed. If he led a spade or diamond, it would have been away from his queen into dummy’s tenace. So he tried the club jack, but declarer ruffed in his hand (a seventh trump trick) and discarded the spade jack from the dummy. He claimed two spades, six hearts, two diamonds, one club and the club ruff.
