Will County; honor rolls start up One of the first things I learned commuting to and from Joliet, then moving here, is that truck traffic is an issue.

I see it on Interstate 55, I see it on Interstate 80, I see it on my drives to Shaw Media’s Morris office and I see it on the local roads that connect highways to businesses. It’s the reason Laraway School is moving, but also the reason the school could afford to move.

Will County is booming with trucking, distribution centers and industrial parks.

I’ve fielded calls that we’re blindly cheerleading for that expansion.

I’m here to say we are not.

We understand the pros and cons of that expansion and hopefully we’re explaining that well in our news coverage.

That’s our role.

Today, we are printing the first of what will be the return of a regular column from John Greuling of the Will County Center for Economic Development.

His voice and expertise are important to the area’s economic development and giving him a format to speak directly to readers makes a lot of sense.

This week, he wrote about the Will County Community Friendly Freight Mobility Plan, which will be highly important for the community and its infrastructure heading forward.

The full price tag for the study, which we’ve reported to be $1.3 million, seems huge and unnecessary. But that’s only if you consider the number without the context.

That context really comes down to the fact that community leaders need data to

VIEWS Jon Styf back up traffic and truck numbers in order to get grants for infrastructure work.

We know it’s a problem. You know it’s a problem. They know it’s a problem.

But the study isn’t being done to tell us it’s an issue, it’s being done to prove how much of an issue it is when applying for grants.

Which gets us into the topic of spending tax dollars to apply for more tax dollars.

I’ve heard it justified by saying that those federal tax dollars need to be spent somewhere, so it might as well be here.

That’s fair enough, but everyone could say that.

It’s really a similar argument to justifying spending money locally on a national lobbyist.

On some level, it seems nonsensical.

But it’s the way the system works and it’s been proved effective.

In the coming weeks, and years, we’ll continue to cover these issues for you, and continue to point out the pros and cons.

There’s the large number of trucks present and the low-paying jobs that come with the type of industrial parks being added, along with concerns over pollution, noise and home values that were brought up surrounding the highly contentious Prologis park in Lockport.

But there are also the corporate additions to the tax base and local jobs that are

being regularly added to the area, which are said to be better paying that the public perceives.

While the rest of Illinois seems to be shrinking, we are not, and this seems to be a big part of the reason.

Honor rolls are here

Starting Monday, you’ll begin to see honor rolls from local schools in the paper.

If you don’t see your school in the paper the first day, fear not, it is coming.

The honor rolls, submitted by area schools and districts, will run in this order: • Monday, Feb. 20: Joliet Public Schools District 86, Elwood School, Rockdale School and Richland School District 88A. • Tuesday, Feb. 21: Joliet Catholic Academy, Providence Catholic High School and Lockport Township High School.

• Wednesday, Feb. 22: Area Catholic schools, Joliet Central High School and Joliet West High School.

• Thursday, Feb. 23: Plainfield Central High School, Timber Ridge Middle School and Richard Ira Jones Middle School.

• Friday, Feb. 24: Plainfield South High School, Aux Sable Middle School and Drauden Point Middle School.

Minooka and Channahon schools will appear in our sister paper, the weekly Herald Life.

A CLOSER LOOK

Eric Ginnard – eginnard@shawmedia.com

A new law requires some schools and day cares to sample for lead contamination from sources of potable water in their buildings. Fairmont School District 89 had water problems last summer, but it was determined the issues were unrelated to lead.

UNDER A DEADLINE

State law requires Will County schools, day cares to test for lead

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com Some Will County schools and day cares are under a deadline by the end of this year to test for lead in drinking water.

In January, Gov. Bruce Rauner signed into law Senate Bill 550, which requires schools and day cares to sample for lead contamination from sources of potable water in their buildings. The law was initiated by the Illinois Environmental Council and Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan, according to her office.

Public concern over harmful exposure to lead – especially in children – has heightened since the ongoing

Flint, Michigan, water crisis. In tests last year, Chicago Public Schools found elevated lead levels in about 3 percent of fixtures.

Shawn Walsh, Will County regional education superintendent, said there will be a cost associated with schools testing for lead, but the real question is whether that cost is offset by the benefit to the community.

“My philosophy is better safe than sorry, so checking is probably not a bad idea,” Walsh said.

The law applies to school buildings constructed on or before Jan. 1, 2000, with students in pre-kindergarten through fifth grade. It also applies to day cares constructed on or before Jan. 1, 2000, that serve children younger than 6.

School buildings constructed before Jan. 1, 1987, must have water testing finished by the end of the year. The deadline for those constructed between Jan. 2, 1987, and Jan. 1, 2000, is the end of 2018. Samples must be submitted to a laboratory accredited by the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency.

Tom Hernandez, Plainfield School District 202 spokesman, said that the district plans to test five schools in May – at a cost estimated to be about $17,000 – and six in 2018. Hernandez also said the district still was seeking clarification from the state on some aspects of the law related to which buildings must be tested.

“We will clearly do everything we can do to keep our children and our staff

safe,” he said.

Joliet Public Schools District 86 will test 14 of its schools this year, which is expected to cost between $3,000 and $6,000. Sandy Zalewski, the district’s spokeswoman, stated in an email that maintenance staff will collect samples that will be tested by a lab.

Lincoln-Way High School District 210 officials anticipate that the law will apply to Aunt Nancy’s Child Care, which is located at its three academic buildings. Taryn Atwell, district spokeswoman, said officials have discussed it and will adhere to all regulations in the law.

Village to continue to market community

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com NEW LENOX – New Lenox has room to grow in the eyes of its mayor, who says officials will continue to market the community and boost its businesses.

At Friday’s State of the Village address, Mayor Tim Baldermann told a crowd of local leaders at Silver Cross Hospital that the village has about 43 square miles that could be developed and a population that could exceed 100,000 people, or roughly four times its current numbers.

“We want to do it responsibly, but we want to grow,” he said.

Baldermann showed what village officials are planning to do in the future that could help with that goal, such as a new Metra station, a new village branding and marketing plan, more promotion of local businesses and recruitment of new ones.

“It’s extremely important to market your community. There are people from all over … that know about New Lenox,” Baldermann said.

This spring, village officials plan to break ground for the redevelopment project at Route 30 and Cedar Road that will have new businesses such as CVS pharmacy, Durbin’s Restaurant, Fleckenstein’s Bakery and Zembar’s Jewelry.

The sales tax generated from the development will go toward a new Metra station. The village’s other train station is difficult to rehabilitate as it’s a designated historical site and the new one will be “more efficient and more modern” for commuters, Baldermann said.

Felix Sarver – fsarver@shawmedia.com

New Lenox Mayor Tim Baldermann (right) speaks with attendees after his State of the Village address Friday at Silver Cross Hospital.

Baldermann took a moment in his address to slam state “bipartisan politics.” Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner and Democratic Illinois lawmakers have been in a stalemate over the state budget for almost two years.

“The bipartisan politics taking place in Springfield are ruining communities, ruining schools, having a major impact on the people that need the services the most and is disgusting and it needs to stop,” he said.

Baldermann said he doesn’t care about Republican or Democrat par-

ty lines – his focus is on government service. He said state level talks about cutting the Local Government Distributive Fund would have a negative impact on local communities, where they to come to fruition.

He also touted the school districts in New Lenox, including Lincoln-Way High School District 210. He said his children were educated at District 210 and were “very well set” for college and were “ahead of the game.”

“We all know about the struggles that Lincoln-Way is going through.

They’re well on their way to a financial turnaround but one thing that’s never been in question has been the education that the kids have received,” he said.

Baldermann said that in the past New Lenox has kept its promises for property tax rebates to residents, local road improvements, no tax-increment financing and no exceeding of tax caps.

“Despite the recession, despite the tough times, we never cut back on services, we never laid off staff and we never exceeded the [tax] cap,” he said.

County Board approves electronics recycling contracts

By MIKE MALLORY mmallory@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The Will County Board approved a series of intergovernmental agreements Thursday that reactivate a recurring electronics recycling event program between the county and various municipalities.

The city of Joliet, New Lenox Township, the village of Peotone and the village of Romeoville have signed on for another year of electronics recycling coordinated by the county.

The municipalities provide a host

site, such as a public works facility, for electronics to be dropped off multiple times each month.

According to state law, certain electronic items are banned from landfills. These include computers, laptops, monitors, televisions, printers, keyboards, fax machines, videocassette recorders, portable digital music players, video game consoles, small scale servers, scanners, electronic mice, digital converter boxes, cable receivers and digital video records.

The county contracts with a third

party that provides the trailers to haul the recycling. A-Team Recyclers LLC, of Joliet, placed the only bid for the work for the events. The county will pay the company $91,600 for one year.

The contract includes the four locations with recurring events and the permanent collection site in Lockport.

The Will County Land Use Department’s goal is to reach seven recurring electronics recycling sites in 2017, according to county documents.

The county may also reach an agreement for drop-offs at Goodwill.

The department’s Resource Recov-

ery and Energy Division arranged the program after its former vendor, Vintage Tech Recyclers, backed out of a contract in January 2016. The county had 13 host sites at the end of that contract.

The city of Joliet became the fifth government entity to join the program last fall. Joliet collects electronics from 5 to 7 p.m. every second and fourth Tuesday of the month.

The county also reached intergovernmental agreements Thursday with 11 government entities to provide animal control services.

Q&A: Will County’s new substance abuse initiative director talks opioid epidemic

E-Z

If you have a Job - We CAN Finance You!

By MIKE MALLORY mmallory@shawmedia.com Herald-News reporter Mike Mallory interviewed Dr. Kathleen Burke, who officially began work that same day as director of substance abuse initiatives for Will County, on Friday.

The county was recently approved for a five-year grant from the state to help pay for Burke’s position and other programs.

Burke is president and owner of addiction and recovery organization Strategic Prevention, and has worked with the county on drug abuse prevention programs that were introduced to school districts. She also trains first responders and others on how to administer Naloxone, a nasal spray that can reverse the deadly effects of an opioid overdose.

Easy Easy Easy Where Everyone Can Buy A Car!

Down Payments

Mallory: Could you describe the role you’ve accepted with Will County?

Burke: My company worked with

Will County under a contract to educate first responders on how to use Naloxone. I trained police officers.

And this is important because of the time it actually takes EMS to get to the scene. It’s critical. Those few minutes could cause a loss of life. Because of HB 1 [also known as the Heroin Crisis Act] it now allows other people to deliver Naloxone. Our goal now in Will County is to, besides the first responders, is to get Naloxone into the hands of people who potentially work with people addicted to opioids. I’ve met with Cornerstone Services to talk about getting their staff trained. We’re looking to do it across the board in the county, whether it be health care, community institutions, the Will County Jail, public defender’s office – anyone who may be in a place where someone may overdose.

Mallory: So where does your passion for opioid prevention and awareness come from?

Burke: Prior to my position here I

was with the Robert Crown Center for Health Education. I spent eight-and-ahalf years there educating kids on risk behaviors. One of those is drug use. At the time, we were just starting to see heroin deaths. A grandfather came to us after his grandson died of a heroin overdose. He believed the only way to prevent it from happening is through education. Then we developed our first curriculum specifically focused on heroin for school districts. I got into the heroin issue because it was clear kids were dying and we didn’t know how to stop it. Police were saying they can’t arrest their way out of it.

Dr. Kathleen Burke Mallory: What’s the biggest misunderstanding people have made about opioid addiction?

Burke: People don’t understand

those who are using. The whole face of opioid use has changed. It’s white middle-class to upper-class young people who are using. You can get it in any suburb you want to. Ask the kids in schools. Even if they’re not using, they know where to get it. Everybody knows where to get drugs and who sells them. Access is not a difficult thing. There’s increased access and early starts to addiction.

And pain pills are extremely addictive. Pharmaceutical companies told doctors they weren’t addictive. Doctors were uninformed and over-prescribing and contributing to the problem. We need to train our medical people differently. Medical schools rarely talked about addiction.

We also need to stop thinking the person with addiction is the drug seeker. In reality, they’re the ones that need help. And there aren’t enough treatment facilities and places to get well. The brain changes with opioid addiction. Research shows the most successful treatment is both therapy and medical management, which means using other [legal] drugs to help stay sober for longer periods of time.

Prescription pain pills are now the No. 1 killer of young adults, surpassing car accidents.

Celebrating 24 Years in Business

Mallory: What kind of outlook do we need to have as a society to drop these record-setting usage and overdose statistics? What will it take?

Burke: Stop blaming the victim. The

person with the disease is not at fault.

We need to reduce stigma so there’s not a barrier to seeking help and families with relatives using feel they can seek help. We need to re-educate physicians and medical personnel. We need to create treatment addressing the fact that it’s a mental health illness. We need to change the way we insure treatment.

Insurance companies look at an inpatient stay as the beginning and end of the disease, like it’s an acute illness.

That’s a fallacy. It’s just the beginning of a path to recovery. When someone has an addiction and chooses to seek help, they have to do it on their own. If you’re sick with heart disease, you have a doctor that manages your care. A doctor makes arrangements.

When you have an addiction, there’s no doctor managing your care. It’s all self-referral. You have to find places that will take your insurance. Then you need follow-up care. There’s no support system set up and not enough recovery beds in Illinois for treatment. We don’t have enough detox beds or psychiatrists to provide care. We need a whole system overhaul. We need to look at it completely different. We’re addressing it with Band-Aids. And it can’t be dictated by insurance companies.

JOLIET – The city is developing a new incentive program for business development downtown and in surrounding corridors.

Joliet officials are working with the City Center Partnership to increase levels for existing incentives and to develop a new “catalytic incentive” aimed at spurring bigger projects.

The catalytic incentive is being designed for projects “that will stand out,” Economic Development Director Steve Jones told the City Council Economic Development Committee on Thursday.

“We’re not talking about someone wanting to use a parking lot to build a one-story real estate office building,” he said. “That’s not catalytic.”

The incentives would apply to a new Special Service Area, which has been expanded from downtown to include business districts on Cass, Collins and South Chicago streets.

The city is developing the program with the City Center Partnership, an organization that oversees the incentive

program and promotes downtown business development.

The incentives are funded through a property tax levied on businesses in the special service area.

Jones said the incentive program will come to the full city council for approval when it is completed. But he sought preliminary approval from the committee on the proposed incentives, which include: • An increase in the existing incentive for facade and interior improvements from a maximum of $10,000 to a maximum of $20,000; • A small business development grant that would provide a maximum of $1,500 for start-up businesses.

No cap would be set on the catalytic incentive, which, Jones said, “is a way to tailor the incentive to the actual need.”

Businesses would need to meet certain criteria to qualify for the incentives.

The committee voted, 2-1, to support the incentive proposal.

Lincoln-Way District 210 board receive bids for land

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com NEW LENOX – The Lincoln-Way District 210 board received bid results at Thursday’s board meeting for three properties the district is trying to sell.

The board also approved a policy for an independent inspector general and a four-year agreement for the purchase of electricity, and tabled an item regarding school fees for the 2017-18 school year.

In November, the board approved selling three parcels of land: 71.9 acres at 191st Street and Harlem Avenue in Tinley Park, 100 acres at 16462 W. Manhattan Road in Manhattan and 78.18 acres at 13125 W. Smith Road in Manhattan.

The minimum bids set for the three parcels of land were met by three bidders, said Taryn Atwell, district spokeswoman, in an email.

She stated that the three bids were $4.5 million for the 191st Street and Harlem Avenue property by Woodman’s Food Market; $1.25 million for 16462 W. Manhattan Road by Spiess Farms; and $701,500 for 13125 W. Smith Road by the Manhattan Park District.

Regarding the inspector general board action, Superintendent Scott Tingley had proposed the idea of an inspector general for the district to investigate allegations of fraud or inappropriate activity to help with audit findings on lack of fraud prevention or detection.

When asked whether the district has determined an agency or law firm that might serve as the inspector general, Atwell said.

Under the policy approved by the board, the superintendent will recommend the appointment of the independent inspector general and the board will have final approval. The appointment will be for a two-year period expiring June 30 of the second year.

Among the requirements of the inspector general is not having a “personal or business relationship with any school board member.”

After concluding an investigation, the inspector general will submit a confidential summary report containing a description of any complaints, information and recommendations to the board president, superintendent

would not be any splashing around,” Alfredo Melessio, director of neighborhood services, told city council members earlier this month.

The city council on Feb. 7 approved a $33,000 contract with Cordogan Clark & Associates for consulting services on the fountain rehabilitation.

The total renovation costs are estimated at between $182,400 and $216,400.

The city has budgeted $150,000 for fountain rehabilitation. The plan is to use funds from Community Development Block Grants to cover costs above $150,000.

One potential budget issue is the use of genuine Joliet limestone for the project.

According to the fountain plan approved by the council, Joliet limestone will be used as “accent sculptural elements,” assuming it can be sourced locally and for a low cost.

The fountain also has a vertical element that worries Councilwoman Brooke Hernandez Brewer.

The center of the fountain “looks like a tempting ladder,” Brewer said at a Public Service Committee meeting in which the plans were reviewed.

“I love the history of it. I think it’s beautiful,” Hernandez Brewer said.

But she asked that the final design include safety features at the bottom to prevent anyone from getting a foothold and trying to climb the fountain.

JOLIET – The city plans to renovate the fountain at Billie Limacher Bicentennial Park, which has not been working for several years, with a steeland-stone design to commemorate Joliet’s industrial heritage.

The work could be done this summer.

The plan tentatively approved by the city council earlier this month incorporates Joliet limestone and will have a base designed to resemble an old blast furnace used to make steel.

Joliet has called itself the “City of Steel and Stone,” although more so in past years because of the Joliet limestone that provided material for construction in past decades and steel mills that were a major part of the city’s economy in the 19th and 20th centuries.

The fountain will not have the same large pool that is there now, which became a problem because too many people would jump in.

“We were trying to limit the public access to the fountain area, so there

Best-seller F-150, hot Escape get even better gation and satellite radio.

Standard and available safety features include traction control, stability control, anti-lock brakes, blind-spot information system with rear cross-traffic alert and dual-front, front-side and side-curtain airbags.

If you’re really serious about off-roading in a full-size pickup, check out the F-150 Raptor, with the sculpted body design and equipment of the desert racer that finished third in the stock/ full class of the Score Baja 1000 last year.

On to the Escape, which is Ford’s perennial contender for next-best-seller after F-150. The five-seat compact crossover was refreshed for 2017 with two new engines, new tech features and a significantly reworked interior.

Outside is a redesigned hood and raised trapezoidal grille to evoke a more prominent feel. Inside is simply a different environment than previous models, and all for the better because Ford focused on needs and wants.

Interior changes include a new push-button electronic parking brake instead of a hand brake, improving space in the front. The gearshift is now a little rearward, making it easier to access climate controls on the center stack. A media bin at the bottom of the stack offers access to a USB port and covered power outlet. There is a large center armrest, improved cupholders, new storage bins, and an all-new steering wheel with easy-to-work audio and climate controls.

The new Escape features available SYNC Connect mobile access, which allows owners to use the FordPass smartphone platform to start, lock, unlock and locate the vehicle. It features driver-assist technologies such as adaptive cruise control and collision warning with brake support, a lane-keeping system

The 2017 F-150 is the best seller because, with the right equipment and options, it can do anything buyers ask of a full-size pickup.

With rear seats folded flat, the 2017 Ford Escape offers 68 cubic feet of cargo space.

Exterior design changes give the 2017 Escape a more confident, rugged persona.

and enhanced active park assist.

Available features include infotainment system, power liftgate, adaptive cruise control, navigation system, satellite radio and heated steering wheel.

Escape offers three engines: a 2.5-liter four-cylinder with 168 hp, a 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with 179 hp, and a 2.0-liter twin-turbocharged four-cylinder with 245 hp. The base engine is available with front-wheel drive,

while the other two are available with front-wheel or all-wheel drive. All are mated to six-speed automatic transmissions.

For some 40 years buyers have made the F-150 the best-selling vehicle on the road, and for 2017, Ford adds even more reasons to choose the iconic pickup.

Ford touts the 2017 version as the toughest, smartest, most capable F-150 ever, and with good reason. There are now five engines and two available transmissions, with a new V6 with bestin-class torque and a 10-speed automatic in the mix.

Ford is also showing off the new 2018 F-150 at the Chicago Auto Show, but Ford says it won’t go on sale until the fall. Meanwhile the show features the full current lineup, including the improved F-150 and the ever-popular Escape, refreshed for 2017. This review highlights both current models.

D-111 official: Dual-credit classes benefit students

By JEANNE MILLSAP Shaw Media correspondent MINOOKA – Minooka Community High School offers more dual-credit classes than many other high schools, Director of Curriculum and Instruction Janel Grzetich told the Minooka District 111 school board this week.

Dual-credit classes, Grzetich said, are particular junior- and senior-level classes that give students high school credits and college credits at the same time. The dual-credit program is offered in conjunction with Joliet Junior College, but many of the courses will transfer to other colleges.

Ten dual-credit classes currently are offered at the high school, Grzetich said, including English Rhetoric, United States History, Western Civilization History, Statistics, Calculus, World Music, Exploratory American Music, Political Science and Principles of Speech Communication.

Grzetich told board members at their meeting Thursday that the classes offer many advantages to students, as well as to the school.

“Offering these classes enhances our own curriculum,” she said. “It is also cost-saving [for students] over taking the courses at JJC ... $129,625 was saved this semester alone in tuition.”

Other advantages of taking the dualcredit courses, she said, are that the experience can facilitate the transition to college and create a greater awareness of what it takes to do well in college-level courses, and when students enter college with some of the basic courses under their belts, they may be able to start taking classes in their major fields of study sooner.

Taking the English Rhetoric dual-

“Offering these classes enhances our own curriculum.”

Janel Grzetich Minooka Community High School director of curriculum and instruction credit classes, in particular, Grzetich said, will help students with writing skills they will need throughout their college years.

Studies also show, she said, that 11 percent of students who took dual credit courses in high school are more likely to persist through the second year of college.

Also Thursday, Assistant Superintendent of Business John Troy told board members that discussions have begun with Ameresco, a provider of energy-efficient infrastructure upgrades.

Representatives recently walked through the two buildings of the high school with Superintendent Kenneth Lee, Troy said, and reviewed the district’s building needs for future planning.

Troy said the district is working on its five-year strategy plan.

The school board also recognized student Ben Dow, presented by choral teacher Randy Benware, for his achievement in the ILMEA All-State Choir.

The board Thursday also approved an employment contract for Terry McCombs as head football coach for the 2017-18 school year at a stipend of $12,490. McCombs replaces former head coach Paul Forsythe.

The board also approved extracurricular volunteer appointments for Aaron Walker and Lucia Rossi as junior varsity track assistants.

Continued from page 3 said he thinks the new law is “overkill.”

“We already got aspects to test the lead in the water,” he said.

He said childcare centers do not receive state funding to the extent that schools do and the law is another unfunded mandate from the state.

He said Mary Sears does water tests in its other locations but since its Joliet location is at the Joliet Township High School District 204 administrative center, he would need to know from district officials if it needs test-

Continued from page 7 Chairman Larry Hug voted no, saying the city should have veto authority over incentive awards.

“For me, it’s very simple,” Hug said. “Tax dollars spent, elected officials oversee it.”

Hug said the city should have veto authority to make sure money is spent properly.

Councilman Terry Morris, however, said, “I’ve talked to business owners. They’re concerned about the opposite. They’re worried about the city taking the money and doing what they want with it.”

Councilman Pat Mudron said he has heard the same concern from business owners.

“The City Center Partnership can govern themselves,” Mudron said. “I don’t need veto power through the city council.”

Stateville escapee arrested in Atlanta by deportation officers

ing. District officials still are waiting for clarification on the law.

Fairmont School District 89 had water problems last summer that were unrelated to lead. The district tested the water after it appeared discolored.

According to board meeting minutes, the water system was flushed twice.

Samples tested by Suburban Laboratories in Geneva were negative for lead, Superintendent Lela Bridges-Webb said. She said it was determined the water was coming from hot water pipes that were sitting and not being used.

“We were trying to rule out everything because of the discoloration,” she said.

Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Gustafson of New Lenox

Teen gets prosthetic legs with Boston survivor’s help CHICAGO TRIBUNE CHICAGO – A 19-year-old man who lost his legs in a car accident last year has received a new pair of prosthetic limbs thanks to a survivor of the Boston Marathon bombing and a Chicago prosthetist.

Vidal Lopez received the prosthetic legs from a foundation Heather Abbott created after the bombing, the Chicago Tribune reported. The Rhode Island woman was one of 17 people who lost at least one limb in the April 15, 2013, bombing.

The foundation has provided Lopez and about 10 other amputees with customized prosthetics not covered by insurance.

Abbott estimates Lopez’s new legs cost about $80,000.

“I know double above-the-knee amputees who travel by themselves, who live their lives, who work, and [Lopez] should be able to do all those things,” Abbott said. “He’s got his whole life ahead of him. So he should have legs that allow him to do that, and I wanted to be able to help him, and everybody in the foundation, the board, made it a priority to get him

what he needs.”

David Rotter, a licensed prosthetist with Chicago prosthetics company Scheck & Siress, designed the limbs.

Lopez, who lives in St. Charles, was hurt in Mexico after a semitrailer plowed into his car in July 2016.

Lopez wants to study engineering in college next year, a dream that was put on hold because of his condition.

“When I lost both of my legs I thought I wouldn’t be able to [do] a lot of things, but with this technology and this support that I have now, I think that everything changed,” Lopez said.

“I know double above-the-knee amputees who travel by themselves, who live their lives, who work, and [Vidal Lopez] should be able to do all those things.”

Heather Abbott Founder of The Heather Abbott Foundation and Boston Marathon bombing survivor

Heather Abbott (right), prosthetist David Rotter (left) and Vidal Lopez talk among themselves Monday at the University of Illinois at Chicago Hospital. Abbott, a survivor of the Boston Marathon bombing and founder of The Heather Abbott Foundation, teamed up with Scheck & Siress, a Chicago-based prosthetic firm, to provide Lopez with new customizable prosthetic legs.

Trump rallies supporters by renewing old promises

By CATHERINE LUCEY and JULIE PACE The Associated Press MELBOURNE, Fla. – Just four weeks into his administration, President Donald Trump appeared at a campaign rally that mirrored the months leading up to Election Day, complete with promises to repeal the health care law, insults for the news media and a playlist highlighted by the Rolling Stones.

“I want to be among my friends and among the people,” Trump told a cheering crowd packed into an airport hangar in central Florida, praising his “truly great movement.”

Trump promised anew to build a border wall along the U.S.-Mexico border, reduce regulations and create jobs. He also pledged to “do something over the next couple of days” to address the immigration order that has been blocked in the courts. Said Trump: “We don’t give up, we never give up.”

Insisting he was the victim of false reporting, Trump said his White House was running “so smoothly” and that he “inherited one big mess.” The president has been trying refocus after reports of disarray and dysfunction within his administration.

Speaking to reporters on Air Force One before the rally, Trump said he was holding a campaign rally because “life is a campaign.”

“To make America great again is absolutely a campaign,” he said. “It’s not easy, especially when we’re also fighting the press.”

And he’s also had to contend with crowds of protesters. Thousands of them were out on the streets of Dallas and Los Angeles to oppose immigration enforcement raids and to support immigrants and refugees generally. In Los Angeles, an organizer urged local authorities not to spend money on immigration enforcement.

Trump, who held a rally in the same spot in Florida in September, clearly relished being back in front of his supporters, welcoming the cheers and letting one supporter up on stage to offer praise for the president. He also enjoyed reliving his surprise victory over Democrat Hillary Clinton.

First lady Melania Trump introduced

her husband at the rally, reciting the Lord’s Prayer before offering her own pledge to act in the best interest of all Americans as she pursues initiatives she said will impact women and children around the world.

The event had the familiar trappings of a Trump campaign rally, including red Trump caps, “Make America Great Again” and “Trump/Pence” signs and at least one sign reading “Hillary for Prison.” Some of the speakers ahead of Trump’s appearance called for repealing and replacing President Barack Obama’s health care law, criticized the news media or lobbed barbs at Clinton, other constants of last year’s rallies.

The music playlist preceding Trump’s appearance included rally favorites such as Free’s “All Right Now.” As Air Force One rolled up to the hangar, the theme to the Harrison Ford movie “Air Force One” signaled its arrival. Trump and the first lady appeared as Lee Greenwood’s “God Bless the U.S.A.” played. And his 45-minute remarks were followed by another 2016 campaign favorite, the 1969 hit “You Can’t Always Get What You Want” by the Rolling Stones.

The rally came during Trump’s third straight weekend at his private south Florida club, Mar-a-Lago. It was another working weekend for the president, who planned to interview at least four potential candidates for the job of national security adviser, a position unexpectedly open after retired Gen. Michael Flynn’s firing early this week.

Trump said Saturday “I have many, many that want the job, they want to really be a part of it. I’ll make a decision over the next couple of days.”

Scheduled to discuss the job with the president were his acting adviser, retired Army Lt. Gen. Keith Kellogg; John Bolton, a former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations; Army Lt. Gen. H.R. McMaster; and the superintendent of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, Lt. Gen. Robert Caslen. White House spokesman Sean Spicer said the four interviews were expected to take place Sunday at the private estate.

We put our hearts into making sure you have a healthy one AP file photo

Norma McCorvey, Jane Roe in the 1973 court case (left), and her attorney, Gloria Allred, hold hands April 26, 1989, as they leave the Supreme Court building in Washington after sitting in while the court listened to arguments in a Missouri abortion case. McCorvey died Saturday at an assisted-living center in Katy, Texas, said journalist Joshua Prager, who is working on a book about McCorvey and was with her and her family when she died.

Woman at center of Roe v. Wade case dead at 69

By JAMIE STENGLE and DIANA HEIDGERD The Associated Press DALLAS – Norma McCorvey, whose legal challenge under the pseudonym “Jane Roe” led to the U.S. Supreme Court’s landmark decision that legalized abortion but who later became an outspoken opponent of the procedure, died Saturday. She was 69.

McCorvey died at an assisted-living center in Katy, Texas, said journalist Joshua Prager, who is working on a book about McCorvey and was with her and her family when she died. He said she died of heart failure and had been ill for some time.

McCorvey was 22, unmarried, unemployed and pregnant for the third time in 1969 when she sought to have an abortion in Texas, where the procedure was illegal except to save a woman’s life. The subsequent lawsuit, known as Roe v. Wade, led to the Supreme Court’s 1973 ruling that established abortion rights, though by that time, McCorvey had given birth and given her daughter up for adoption.

Decades later, McCorvey underwent a conversion, becoming an evangelical Christian and joining the anti-abortion movement. A short time later, she underwent another religious conversion and became a Roman Catholic.

“I don’t believe in abortion even in an extreme situation. If the woman is impregnated by a rapist, it’s still a child.

You’re not to act as your own God,” she told The Associated Press in 1998.

After the court’s ruling, McCorvey lived quietly for several years before revealing herself as Jane Roe in the

1980s. She also confessed to lying when she said the pregnancy was the result of rape.

Throughout the 1980s and into the 1990s, she remained an ardent supporter of abortion rights and worked for a time at a Dallas women’s clinic where abortions were performed. Her 1994 autobiography, “I Am Roe: My Life, Roe v.

Wade, and Freedom of Choice,” included abortion-rights sentiments along with details about dysfunctional parents, reform school, petty crime, drug abuse, alcoholism, an abusive husband, an attempted suicide and lesbianism.

But a year later, she was baptized before network TV cameras by a most improbable mentor: The Rev. Philip “Flip” Benham, leader of Operation Rescue, now known as Operation Save America. McCorvey joined the cause and staff of Benham, who had befriended her when the anti-abortion group moved next door to the clinic where she was working.

McCorvey also said her religious conversion led her to give up her lover, Connie Gonzales. She said the relationship turned platonic in the early 1990s and that once she became a Christian, she believed homosexuality was wrong.

She recounted her evangelical conversion and stand against abortion in the January 1998 book “Won by Love,” which ends with McCorvey happily involved with Operation Rescue.

But by August of that year, she had changed faiths to Catholicism and had left Operation Rescue. Though she was still against abortion, she said she had reservations about the group’s confrontational style.

Dear Mr. Berko: We wanted to buy 200 shares of MGE Energy, but our new stockbroker recommended that we buy 200 shares of Dominion Energy instead. Please give us your opinion. He also recommended we invest $30,000 in U.S. government I bonds. Please give us your advice here, too. – TW, Oklahoma City Dear TW: I like that broker. He’s among the few remaining brokers who still recommend common stocks rather than all that proprietary junk.

He has good smarts and is giving you good advice. MGE Energy yields 1.94 percent and can’t hold a candle to Dominion Energy (D-$73.15), which is a classy dividend-growth utility.

D is so highly regarded that The Vanguard Group owns 41 million shares, Wellington Management owns 30.2 million and Capital World Investors owns 25 million. Meanwhile, State Street, Bank of America, Franklin Resources, BlackRock and Northern Trust together own 84 million shares.

This is a supercalifragilistic electric and gas utility with 675 million shares outstanding and an expialidocious dividend record. Take your broker’s advice and buy 200 shares

TAKING STOCK Malcolm Berko of D, which yields 4.12 percent.

Dominion Energy is headquartered in Richmond, Virginia, and has $11.5 billion in revenues. D serves 2.6 million electric customers in Virginia and North Carolina, plus it has 2.3 million gas customers in Ohio, West Virginia and Utah.

Last year, Dominion paid $4.4 billion for Questar, a natural gas utility with 1.1 million Utah customers. And in April, Dominion will sell Questar’s gas pipeline for $1.7 billion to its 71 percent-owned Dominion Midstream Partners (DM-$32.85), an operation that produces gas for all of D’s natural gas customers.

D is a magnificently managed utility that has modernized its plant and equipment into an efficient profit-making machine and is now generating attractive growth from investments in new energy sources. Management is building a 1,588-megawatt gas-fired facility, which will be operational in 2018,

and plans to add 220 megawatts of solar capacity in Virginia and North Carolina.

And D now has 1 trillion cubic feet of underground natural gas storage capacity. With a 15 percent return on shareholder equity and net profit margins between 17 and 20 percent, it’s little wonder that Dominion has raised its dividend for 14 consecutive years.

And many on Wall Street believe that Dominion will have excellent earnings and dividend growth. Utility stocks are popular among investors because of their relative safety and high dividend yields but are not known for their high dividend growth. However, D is a rare mix of all three. Dominion is a low-volatility stock, with a beta of 0.25. The 4.1!

2 percent dividend yield is double the Standard & Poor’s 500 average, while management’s announced goal is to increase the dividend by 8 percent a year. And Dominion-watchers believe that during the next four to six years, earnings could grow by 5 to 7 percent annually. So total returns could tally 9 to 11 percent per year.

I also like your broker’s advice to

invest in I bonds as a hedge against possibly higher inflation. They currently yield 2.76 percent but change every six months with the rate of inflation. The 2.76 percent yield is good through April, at which time it will adjust. The interest accrues tax-deferred until you redeem the bonds, but if you redeem the bonds in less than five years, you will pay a penalty of three months’ interest.

(Big deal.)

You’re limited to $10,000 face value annually, but a married couple can buy $10,000 worth of the bonds in the husband’s name, $10,000 worth in the wife’s name and $10,000 worth jointly, for a total of $30,000 a year.

Go to https://www.treasurydirect. gov, which will tell you all you need to know about I bonds and how you can purchase them electronically.

The minimum purchase is $25, and adults can buy I bonds for minor children and hold them in minor linked accounts. They make swell birthday or holiday gifts for minors.

Community Friendly Freight Mobility Plan will benefit county The intermodal facilities in Will County serve as North America’s largest inland port with $65 billion worth of products in more than 3 million containers transported in 2016.

As a result, Will County’s freight transportation system is the economic gateway to the Midwest and national economies. How we got here is not too hard to understand.

The Chicago area always has been a crucial transportation hub for national and international freight moved by water, rail, truck, pipeline and air. Manufactured goods, food and commodities such as steel, chemicals and grain have historically been mainstays of the regional economy.

With the advent of e-commerce and the click economy, Will County has emerged as the Midwest’s leader in consumer order fulfillment. We have land, interstates, Class A railroads, access to markets and supportive communities.

What else could Amazon need?

A modern, well maintained transportation system that safely transports goods and workers and protects the environment and quality of life for

VIEWS John Greuling Will County residents is what Amazon and all our employers need and deserve.

While the explosion of transportation, distribution and logistics activity in the county has produced billions of dollars of new investment, tens of thousands of jobs and millions of dollars of new taxes it has put a lot of pressure on our transportation infrastructure.

The amount of freight moving into, around and through Will County has grown exponentially since 2002, when the BNSF Intermodal Center opened in Elwood, followed by the Union Pacific yard in Joliet. Since then, over 100 million square feet of new industrial space has been built in the county. Thousands of tractor trailers travel our local roads daily not built to handle this volume.

That is why the Will County Center for Economic Development (CED),

While the explosion of transportation, distribution and logistics activity in the county has produced billions of dollars of new investment, tens of thousands of jobs and millions of dollars of new taxes it has put a lot of pressure on our transportation infrastructure.

Will County government, the Illinois Department of Transportation, the Will County Governmental League, the Three Rivers Association of Realtors and others have joined together to prepare the Will County Community Friendly Freight Mobility Plan.

The public and private sector leaders in Will County have created what is one of the best local economic development stories in Illinois today, but if we don’t plan we will put all of this at risk.

The Freight Mobility Plan has

multiple components: What is the current state of freight movement in Will County today and what are the impacts on our community; what do we want the future state to look like (and how do we get there); what are the challenges and opportunities for the regional workforce in the freight industry; and how do we measure performance of the entire freight system now and in the future.

The goal of the study is to protect and improve the quality of life in Will County while creating the environment for business and industry to thrive.

None of this will be easy.

But all of it is worth it. The CED and its partners are committed to a strong economic future for Will County that will benefit many generations to come.

OUR VIEW

Exemplifying role of public servants This week, Joliet officials did something that appears to be becoming rarer and rarer among politicians and public servants.

When residents expressed concern about an issue, Joliet Mayor Bob O’Dekirk and Chief of Police Brian Benton held a meeting to address their worries by offering direct answers to their questions.

The meeting took place Wednesday at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church. O’Dekirk called it in response to inquiries from residents and rumors on social media about the role of Joliet police in immigration enforcement under new President Donald Trump. It was attended by hundreds, many of whom made statements, asked questions and engaged in back-and-forth with officials.

O’Dekirk and Benton responded to the anxiety and uncertainty of community members by providing a clear picture of where the city stands on immigration: Joliet has no role in questioning immigration status, has no control of the federal government’s efforts to enforce immigration law and does not intend to become a sanctuary city.

There was a time when such actions may not have warranted recognition by the press. But when the term “fake news” is regularly bantered about by politicians and contradiction seems to be a trademark of the new presidential administration, it’s important to credit government leaders who speak to the people they serve in the interest of mitigating confusion and fear.

Regardless of the city’s position on the matter of immigration enforcement, the willingness of O’Dekirk and Benton to make their stance apparent by speaking with clarity and specificity deserves acknowledgement as an example of how politicians and government appointees should communicate with those they represent.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Reduce budget expenditures

To the Editor: The State of Illinois’ legislature’s inability to come to grips with the financial crisis, exodus of citizens and jobs, inability to make Illinois a more attractive place to do business and grow the tax base necessitates reducing and adjusting budget expenditures by shedding services and duties to the counties and federal government.

Much of the State Police duties can be taken up by the counties, school funding can be handled locally, road maintenance by the counties, townships and cities, health and human services by counties, cities and NGOs. It would be helpful for the federal bankruptcy law to be rewritten to cover states and the federal guarantee of pensions to be expanded to cover state employees.

Current pension obligations would

be pay-as-you-go and paid from current tax revenues and not maintain a sinking fund for future obligations.

The savings easily would run into the billions of dollars annually.

Adventures in babysitting the grand-twins A day I long anticipated and, at the same time, dreaded, finally arrived last Tuesday.

Babysitting the grand-twins.

By myself.

Now it’s not like I’ve never been around toddlers before. I helped raise three girls, back when Sara and I worked opposite shifts, diapers were still made out of cloth and the nearest grandparent was about an hour-anda-half away.

All three survived childhood and, as far as I can tell, came out normal.

But that was more than a quarter century ago.

Since then, my parenting duties have changed considerably.

Nowadays we have two new children (we used to have a third, but he was sent off to live with relatives). I oversee everything from feeding and bathing to playtime and naptime.

Of course, it’s more challenging now that I’m older. I’ll be the first to admit things have gone wrong. Mistakes have happened. Like the time one snuck out of the house and ran away. Or the time the other ate food out of the garbage.

Still, I haven’t had many com-

MIDLIFE CIRCUS Bill Wimbiscus plaints about their care.

And not one visit from DCFS. Probably because they’re both dogs.

Even so, I was a little hinky about making the jump back from canines to humans.

First off, I still can’t tell my two granddaughters apart. It’s got to be a little disheartening, even for child, to constantly hear, “Which one are you again, Abby or Zoey?”

Then there’s the thing about the simultaneous wanting of things. They usually both want the same thing at the same time. Especially if the thing in question is pink in color, like a sippy cup. Or doughnut. Or anything involving Minnie Mouse.

I guess it’s a twin thing.

The issue rarely came up with our three original girls, probably because there was five years of age separation between them. We never had more than one child in the “terrible twos”

at any one time.

With twins, it’s different. Especially when they’re still in their twos.

My biggest concern, of course, involves diapering. Again, it’s not like I’ve never changed a diaper before.

From what I can remember, I used to be pretty good at it. But, like a golf swing, it’s a skill that tends to get rusty without practice.

When the girls were first born, it seems like they filled a diaper almost every hour.

Fortunately, their mother or father usually was around to change it.

And when they weren’t, my wife was.

And when she wasn’t, one of my two other daughters were.

I was the last line of defense.

And for good reason. My immune system has been wonky since the stem cell transplant. I was prohibited from touching the ground for at least six months and dirty diapers for at least one year. I used to have a doctor’s note to prove it.

Unfortunately, my one-year moratorium ran out last August.

And that’s why, last Tuesday, I suddenly found myself wrist deep in trouble.

Thank God the hospital gave me a box of plastic gloves. Thank God my daughter left me a box of wipes.

Thank God the diaper didn’t leak.

Once the hazardous waste was disposed of, the rest of the day went pretty well.

Went for a walk outside. No one got away.

Had macaroni and cheese for lunch, grapes for dessert. No one choked.

Naptime at 1 p.m. No one cried.

The girls not only survived the ordeal, they seemed to enjoy it. I was given spontaneous hugs at the end of the day.

The babysitting went so well, in fact, that it’s been decided that I’m to watch them again on Friday, due to an illness at daycare.

And then again on Saturday, due to a wedding.

Yeah, I can see where this is going.

Better see if I can find that doctor’s note.

How can we trust a man who thinks the Soviet dictator is an OK guy?

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR • Continued from page 33

I believe the best defense is to attack by printing the truth everyday in direct response to alternative and pseudo-facts.

It also would weaken the lies from the internet.

Many of Shaw Media’s readers do not take another paper as I do to get national news or to get any grounding in national and international with Bloomberg Business Week. The Herald should do more articles outside the area and country.

A well-informed readership is the best defense in war to exist as the people’s media outlet.

The media must keep reporting the stupidity of this president because he is getting control of the news as he presents it.

Apparently, a growing percentage of people believe what he is sending out.

Lies must be shown as lies or else the media should give up!

To the Editor: In the Sunday (Feb. 12) edition, there was an article about the ongoing construction of the Waters Edge development.

A local contractor was quoted as “only getting some demolition work for $4,000 dollars and netting $2,500.”

That is a 62.5 percent profit.

That could be the reason he is not getting anymore work.

LOCAL DOMINATION Five area wrestlers win Class 3A titles

By CURT HERRON cherron@shawmedia.com CHAMPAIGN – Austin O’Connor established some impressive wrestling history on Saturday in the IHSA Class 3A state finals at the University of Illinois State Farm Center.

The Lockport resident who attends St. Rita became just the 16th four-time champion in the event and just the fifth to win four straight in the large-school division and the fifth individual from this state to never lose a tournament match during his high school career.

In the opening match of the finals at 152, O’Connor (46-0) had a challenge on his hands early on against Providence Catholic’s Cole Smith (43-5) but in the end, pulled away to claim a 20-7 triumph which gave him a nearly 130-match winning streak to close his career.

The Celtic junior recorded a rare takedown to close to within 8-6 in the opening period. But O’Connor responded to go up 12-6 after the first two minutes and stretched his advantage to 14-7 entering the final period and went to claim another win over Smith.

“He was wrestling me pretty tough,” O’Connor said. “But I knew after that first takedown that I was in good position and I wanted to stay in a good position and make sure that I didn’t give up anything dumb. I definitely felt like I played it smart since I wanted to secure this ‘W’.

“This was definitely the most meaningful state championship that I’ve won with all of my friends, family and coaches here to support me. I don’t think that it’s even fully hit me yet. Last year, I felt going into the finals match that I was super-focused and wasn’t really enjoying it. So this year I wanted to go out there and have a little more fun.”

DeKalb’s Fabian Lopez falls to Plainfield East’s Michael McGee on Saturday during the Class 3A state wrestling championship at the University of Illinois in Champaign.

Lockport picked up a title in the next match, at 160, as Trevell Timmons (40-4) got a takedown with 21 seconds left to go up 3-1 over Marmion’s Nate Jimenez (39-7) and then allowed an escape and hung on for a 3-2 victory to capture his initial championship.

“I’m excited that I won it and I still can’t believe it,” Timmons said. “When I got that takedown, what went through

my head was that I was winning. Every year there was something. My sophomore year in the semis, I was just trying to see where I was at. My junior year, I got injured in the semifinals while I was winning 7-1 and that just fueled me more.

“There’s no one that I knew at this weight that worked harder than me.

the 120 title.

“My goal at the beginning of the year was to have an undefeated senior year and finish on top of the podium,” McGee said. “It feels so good knowing that all of my hard work paid off. I didn’t want to give him any hope at any point.

“That loss in last year’s finals is one of the main reasons that I’m back on top.

Every day I didn’t forget that and I wanted to push myself even harder. What follows effort is results and I’m just glad that I got the result that I wanted. It feels great. I wish that I could have been a three-timer, but that loss was humbling and made me just work harder.”

Providence sophomore Jacob Lindsey (39-5) captured a state title at 106 when he picked up a 7-3 victory over Montini’s Dylan Ragusin (43-4).

“At regionals and sectionals when I didn’t win either of those, it was a little frustrating,” Lindsey said. “But you just have to listen to smart coaches like coach (Keith) Healy, who kept me calm and said that it could be a blessing in disguise since it could change the state bracket up in my favor. I got a good week of practice in and it seemed to work out.

Being down here last year was a big help, just getting a feel for the environment.”

Plainfield resident David Riojas (376), who attends Mount Carmel, captured his first state title when he handed Lyons Township’s Johnny Mologousis (451) his first defeat by claiming a 9-4 victory in the 170 championship match.

“I was really nervous yesterday, but coming into today, I just really wanted to have fun since it was the last match of the state tournament,” Riojas said. “This whole tournament I just wanted it to be me and him as soon as I saw the brackets. When I was leading late, I knew that I had to be smart and not do anything stupid.”

Lockport hoped to claim another title at 132, but senior Abdullah Assaf (27-3) dropped a 16-10 decision to Oak Park and River Forest’s Jason Renteria (40-2).

Seven others also earned all-state honors after capturing medals for top six-finishes.

Lockport received fourths from Anthony Molton (113), Baylor Fernandes (145) and Payton Fernandes (182), while Matt Ramos (106) and Ronald Tucker Jr. (285) both finished fifth. It was the initial state medal for each of those individuals.

The Porters finished with a program-best seven medal winners, which was also the most for any team in Class 3A this weekend. Its previous record for state placers at one tournament was four, which it had done four times from 2011-15.

Lincoln-Way West’s Jake Dudeck (220) won his second-straight medal after claiming third place by a 3-1 score over Hononegah’s Blake Zalapi, while Plainfield North’s Matt Hennessey (195) took sixth for his initial medal.

Baldridge, Schickel settle for 2nd in 2A

By CURT HERRON cherron@shawmedia.com

CHAMPAIGN – After falling in the Class 2A finals a year ago, Morris’ Cody Baldridge was not only hoping for a return trip to the finals, but also looking to finish on top of the awards stand.

The junior got his wish on Saturday at the University of Illinois’ State Farm Center and he certainly put up a good battle against Carbondale’s Cameron Caffey in the 182-pound title match.

But Caffey recorded a takedown with 55 seconds remaining to break a 1-all tie and went on to claim a 3-1 victory and the state championship against Baldridge, who finished 39-2.

“It was a tremendous effort by Cody,” Morris coach Jon Lanning said.

“I know that he’s not going to be happy about that result, but we’re so proud of him. He took great shots, stuck to the game plan and wrestled that kid the best of anyone at the tournament. He was right there and the aggressor and stayed with it. But Cameron Caffey is just a heck of a good wrestler.

“Making the finals last year just made his work effort even better this year. He’s a tremendous worker and this is only going to push him more to get that state championship next year. He’s going to be the experienced guy and will be a force to be reckoned with.”

In the other Class 2A championship match involving an area wrestler, Lemont’s Kyle Schickel (41-6) dropped a 5-2 decision in the 106 finals to Centennial’s Justin Cardani.

Lemont also got a third-place showing from Egan Berta (145), who was a state runner-up last season. He beat Brother Rice’s Rahman Johnson, 6-2, in the third-place match.

In Class 1A, Coal City received third-place efforts from Alex Friddle (113), Jake Hiles (120) and Brock Crawford (195) and a sixth-place finish from Daniel Jezik (145). Friddle started the string of third-place successes with a 14-2 victory over Auburn’s Caleb Nix. Hiles followed right after that with an 11-6 victory over Olympia’s Lane Litwiller. It marked the second consecutive year that the two Coalers won state medals.

“Coming into this tournament (Illinois) Matmen said that I wasn’t going to place,” Hiles said. “So it feels pretty good to overcome that and to wrestle well. Our coaches tell us not to get too high or too low and they’re a huge part of it by keeping me ready to wrestle.

Alex and I have been working hard

We knew that we were both good and we came ready to wrestle, so it feels good that both of us got a third-place medal.”

And Crawford later captured a 3-1 victory over Clifton Central’s Justin Coggins. It was his initial state medal.

“This is my last season, my last time down here and probably the last time I’ll wrestle, so this is what I wanted,” Crawford said. “After coming here and seeing all of the placing matches and how cool it would be, it’s honestly what I’ve always wanted. We definitely worked hard this week. I think not winning the regional made us work a little harder in the practice room.”

A Coaler that entered the tournament as one of the most unheralded was Jezik, who also wound up being the lone area wrestler to reach the 1A semifinals, where he lost to Byron’s Nolan Baker. It was the first medal of his career.

“It feels great,” Jezik said. “I wasn’t really expecting anything. I just wanted to come here and maybe win a match and do the best that I could and it turned out better than I thought that it would. Nolan Baker is pretty tough and I thought I did pretty decent in

how I wrestled. Getting the medal is just another way of working up to do better next year.”

Wilmington got a fourth-place finish from Bobby Shields (145) and a sixth-place effort from Nick Pretto (152). It was the first medal won by the Wildcat seniors.

“You can always do better, but it feels good to come out with the medal this year, especially since this is my senior year and it’s the last time I’m going to wrestle, other than dual team,” Shields said. “It’s definitely a great feeling and still hasn’t hit me yet to be fourth at state. It was a long day, but I wrestled hard and came back and did what I was supposed to do.”

“It felt really good,” Pretto said. “It’s not as good as I was hoping to do but a podium finish is still a podium finish at the end of the day. It was tough, but at the end of the day, it makes you a better person since just going through that hardship helps. It’s a lot nicer to still have one more week of wrestling.”

Coming up one victory shy of a medal for a top-six finish were Wilmington’s Mason VanDuyne (160), Sam Jones (220) and Josh Jones (285); Coal City’s TJ Jezik (138) and Bryan Stopka

BOYS BASKETBALL: JOLIET WEST 51, JOLIET CENTRAL 49

By DICK GOSS dgoss@shawmedia.com

• Sunday, February 19, 2017

JOLIET – Big-time players step up in crunch time.

Joliet West 6-foot-5 senior forward/ guard Trevian Bell was that guy Saturday afternoon, providing a series of key late plays as Joliet West slipped past Joliet Central, 51-49, in a long-awaited matchup that was every bit the thriller that was expected.

Bell scored eight of his game-high 15 points in the final 3 minutes 48 seconds, five in the final 1:09. He knocked down two free throws with 34 seconds left to give undisputed Southwest Prairie Conference champion West (22-3, 13-0) a 50-49 lead, the eighth and last lead change of the final five minutes.

After those two free throws, Central’s JoJo McNair penetrated and dished the ball to Ryan King. He did not make a clean catch but recovered it and got into the lane for a short jumper. Bell deflected the shot, corralled the rebound and was fouled with 11 seconds to go. This time, he hit one free throw to account for the final score.

“Jo did a great penetrating,” Central coach Lawrence Thompson Jr. said. “We mishandled the pass a little, but it still gave us a chance.”

The Steelmen (21-4, 11-2) had their last opportunity, but miscommunication around the center line against West’s pressure forced them into a desperation 3-point attempt from about 30 feet that Don Joachim bounced off the rim as time expired.

“It is my job to get the execution down at the end,” Thompson said.

“We should have gotten a better shot there. We had a timeout and I regret not using it. I was screaming at Jason [Bingham] to get out of the way around center court and then the time ran off.”

After trailing, 24-20, at half, Central was down, 39-31, late in third quarter.

But the Steelmen came fighting back with a 12-0 run that featured nine points from senior guard Jason Bingham, who played at West last year, and ended with a layup from junior guard Cameron Blackmon off a Bingham steal.

After a timeout, West’s Tabyous Casterberry found Elijah Ward for a dunk, and Bell hit a 3-pointer for a 4443 West lead. Back and forth it went the rest of the way, until the Tigers got the job done in the final minute.

The clash Joliet-area fans waited until the season was three months old to see was that much of a nail-biter.

“Joliet Central played hard. We knew that would happen,” West coach

Nick DiForti said. “It’s always going to be a battle against them. There were a lot of little things going on this game.

Both teams played great defense.

“If we meet them again – hey, sign me up now for that.”

That’s because they could tangle March 8 in the semifinals of the Class 4A Lincoln-Way East Sectional.

“These are great situations to be in, especially at this time of the season,” said Bell, who grabbed five of his eight rebounds and scored 13 of his 15 points in the second half. “To play a game like this before the start of the state tournament is huge.

“Jason Bingham was on a tear for them. He had a great game and could have won it for them. But we did not let that affect us, and that says a lot about who we are as a team.”

As for his own late-game contributions, Bell said, “I’m glad to do all that I can for the team. To be a senior leader, I’ve got to lead by example. On the free throws at the end, I had to block out the crowd, all the noise, and concentrate on the rim.”

“I can’t speak highly enough of Trev making his free throws down the stretch,” DiForti said.

Eddie Creal chipped in 12 points, five rebounds and strong defense for West. Ward took the ball hard to basket for layups twice in the second half and finished with eight points, and Michael Smith chipped in eight off the bench.

“Eddie’s playing well all around, but his biggest contributions are coming at the defensive end,” DiForti said.

“And if Elijah keeps doing what he did today, if he plays above the rim, we are going to do some damage.”

“I was getting a little tired at the end,” Creal admitted with a smile.

“I had to step up and help the team out,” Ward said.

Jose Grubbs finished with 13 points and 14 rebounds, helping Central to a 33-25 rebounding advantage. Blackmon scored nine points and Bingham chipped in seven rebounds.

“We know how big a rivalry game this is, and it hurts a little,” Grubbs said. “But we come out of this knowing we still have room to grow. We’re small, they have some big, athletic guys, and we didn’t want to let them beat us up on the boards. We did get that done.”

“This one is just going to make us more hungry to work harder,” Bingham said.

As DiForti said, wrapping up the SPC championship in Saturday’s environment did not figure to be easy, yet the Tigers got it done.

“Give Joliet West a lot of credit,” Thompson said. “They harass you, put

a lot of pressure on you offensively and defensively. We were down eight a couple of times, but there was no quit in our guys. They’re a good team, and we feel we have one here, too.”

40 COLLEGE BASKETBALL: JJC 94, DuPAGE 67

Wolves score big win in Wills Gym celebration

By DICK GOSS dgoss@shawmedia.com

JOLIET – The occasion was the last regular-season men’s basketball game in A.A. Wills Gymnasium.

The Joliet Junior College 1991-92 team that went to the national tournament celebrated its 25th anniversary reunion. Current coach Joe Kuhn was honored for his selection to the NJCAA Hall of Fame.

The current Wolves really had no choice but to come out Saturday afternoon and put on a show for the former players and large crowd that turned out for the festivities.

Lockport graduate Johnny Campbell scored 20 points and seven rebounds, Robbie Brooks (Plainfield Central) scored 19 to go with eight assists, Mitch Kwasigroch (Lincoln-Way Central) chipped in 16 points and 10 rebounds, Jarret Gmazel (Lincoln-Way Central) added 12 points, Jonathan Boatright (Bolingbrook) had 11 and seven boards and Richie Elias (Plainfield North) contributed nine points and six assists as the Wolves shot 51.4 percent en route to a 94-67 North Central Community College victory over DuPage.

“It feels crazy,” said Brooks, a sophomore guard. “It doesn’t seem that long ago when I was playing my first game in here, and now I’m playing in the last game here.”

JJC (22-8, 8-6) led, 43-35, at the half.

Gmazel hit three straight 3-pointers in a 50-second stretch in the second half

to open a 64-45 lead and added a fourth three later to make it 78-56.

“We could feel it was special today,” Gmazel said. “It was a lot easier with all the fans here. I got the feeling on my shot, and my teammates got me good shots.”

The last time the teams met, at DuPage, the Wolves blew a 20-point lead and lost. They weren’t about to let that happen again.

“We got complacent the last time,” Brooks said. “We had to keep our foot on the pedal today. I always try to take advantage of what the defense gives me, and I was able to do that.

“I feel like we’re going to be on top of our game going into the [Region IV] playoffs and I hope into the nationals.”

Kuhn said the Wolves are on a good path.

“I like how we have been playing,” he said. “We’ve been playing well offensively. We’ve scored a lot of points the last few games.

“Robbie [Brooks] had a real nice game. With him leading the way, we felt like we could get any shot we wanted. We had only five turnovers in the first half [17 in all], Jarret [Gmazel] obviously shot the ball very well and Johnny Campbell definitely had a good game.”

JJC led by 15 points in the first half before settling for the eight-point half halftime lead. Kuhn switched from man-to-man defense to a zone in the second half, and the Wolves prospered.

“The zone early in the second half changed the game back to where it

The Wolves will play once more at Wills Gym as they host a Region IV playoff game Wednesday night.

“Rock Valley, Elgin, Madison and us are four good teams that are capable

of winning it [and going to the national tournament],” Kuhn said. “It’s going to be fun.”

So was Saturday.

“What an awesome turnout,” Kuhn said.

GIRLS BASKETBALL: PROVIDENCE CATHOLIC 46, RICH SOUTH 42

Paciga, Celtics claim regional title; Hillcrest sectional next

By TIM CRONIN Shaw Media correspondent NEW LENOX – Twenty wins against seven last year.

The first regional championship and 20-win season since 2006.

Now, a date with Morgan Park in the 3A sectional at Hillcrest.

It’s been a transformational year for Providence Catholic’s girls basketball team.

Friday, the Celtics survived a scare to beat Rich South, 46-42, on their home court to secure the regional crown and move on.

“This season’s just been amazing for all of us,” said Claire Paciga, whose 18-point, seven-rebound, five-assist

showing led the Celtics (20-11) and snapped the Stars’ four-game winning streak. “Last year, we went into games expecting to lose, and we were playing some of the best [4A] teams in the state. This year we came in with a new mentality. We’ve been trusting each other more. It’s easier for us to share the ball.”

To coach Elieen Copenhaver, experience is a key reason the Celtics have turned it around so comprehensively.

“They just kept plugging along,” Copenhaver said. “They learned a lot, to be able to mentally stay tough. We did go from the top of the GCAC to the middle, where I think we belong.”

And a pair of freshmen are now sophomores. That paid off in 12 points

from Ryann Ogarek and 11 from Abby Ragusa.

The Celtics had to stop Rich South’s ace, Nade’ge Jean, and for the most part did. Jean scored 16 points to lead the Stars (16-13), but had only eight points after the first quarter, thanks to Providence’s occasional employment of a zone to stop Jean’s dominance in the middle. And when Jean started missing shots, she also got frustrated.

The Celtics stayed cool.

“We don’t have anyone of that height (6-foot),” Paciga said of Jean.

“We knew we had to have someone front and back of her and communicate with each other. But we were pretty nervous at the start because we’ve never made it this far. Once we got into it,

we controlled the pace.”

“She was the leading scorer as a junior,” Copenhaver said of Paciga.

“This year, she’s not my leading scorer, but she’s my leading player every day.”

It also helped that Dejah Weathersby, Rich South’s 3-point specialist, was only 2 of 8 from beyond the arc.

The Stars’ miscues and a 6-of-7 shooting quarter for Providence earned the Celtics a 37-31 lead with eight minutes to go. Despite a drought from the floor that lasted until Ragusa’s 3-pointer from the left side with 1:30 to play, Providence never lost the lead.

“I said layups only,” Copenhaver said. “But for Abby, that’s her layup.”

In the playoffs, whatever works.

BOYS BASKETBALL: LINCOLN-WAY EAST 65, BOLINGBROOK 64

By DRAKE SKLEBA Shaw Media correspondent

“I felt bad about missing my two free throws but I thought I did play well in the second half,” Aluyi said.

“This is so exciting to beat the great Bolingbrook team. We hope we can win the [Class 4A] regional and get back here for the sectional, which Lincoln-Way East hosts.”

Bolingbrook (23-1, 8-1), playing without 6-6 inside force Malik Binns due to illness, jumped to a 17-3 lead in the first four minutes, led by Akenten. The Raiders’ full-court press was preventing the Griffins from reaching halfcourt. The press was removed and the Griffins clawed back to within 2112 after one quarter.

Shafer exploded for 11 second-quarter points, bringing the Griffins within 29-27 at the half. The East onslaught continued in the third quarter. With 3:30 on the clock, 6-6 Zach Zivo (two points, seven rebounds) scored to put the Griffins up, 39-31.

With the Raiders’ pressure defense implemented again, Bolingbrook rallied to tie at 43-43 on an Akenten

3-pointer with four seconds remaining in the third quarter.

Aluyi and Shafer responded with a 14-0 run to open up the fourth quarter.

Aluyi struck for two field goals and Shafer buried a 3, followed by another basket for a 52-43 lead with 6:28 left.

Aluyi hit a three and Shafer’s putback at the 4:43 mark gave the Griffins their largest lead, 57-43.

“This was a great win for us in front of our huge Senior Night crowd.“ Lincoln-Way East coach Rich Kolimas said. “Sam [Shafer] was outstanding and hit big shots all night. Dorian Aluyi had a huge second half that helped us with this huge win.”

Bolingbrook, which has clinched the SWSC Blue title, will look to rebound next week.

“We missed a number of chances to score points,” Raiders coach Rob Brost said. “Our comeback that just fell just short shows how good we can be. Win or lose tonight, our thoughts were to go back to practice on Saturday and try to get better.”

BOYS BASKETBALL: BENET 54, JOLIET CATHOLIC 48

Ragen scores 27 in Hilltoppers’ tough loss to Redwings

By DICK GOSS dgoss@hawmedia.com JOLIET – One time during Joliet Catholic Academy’s determined comeback effort, the Hilltoppers got it down to a one-possession game.

Pete Ragen – who else on this night?

– drained a 3-pointer with 26 seconds left Friday to bring JCA within 51-48 of strong East Suburban Catholic Conference foe Benet Academy.

The Redwings, whom Hilltoppers coach Joe Gura describes as “one of the best teams in the Chicago area,” were up to the challenge, however. They made enough free throws in the fourth quarter – 10 of 17 – to hold off JCA, 5448.

Nobody is in this business looking for moral victories, but the Hilltoppers (12-13, 2-6) might have gotten one.

Benet (21-6, 5-3) features standout guard Jack Nolan. Gura and his staff slapped a box-and-one on Nolan, with Brendon Wills hounding him most of the night and Dexter Spencer spelling Wills for brief stints at a time.

The strategy worked to the extent that Nolan was limited to eight points – only because he made four free throws in the final quarter.

However, the Redwings are deep in offensive threats, and it was junior guard David Buh’s turn to step up.

He came off the bench and hit all four 3-pointers and 2 of 2 free throws for a team-high 14 points. Benet was 8 of 21 from beyond the arc.

“Nolan is a great player,” JCA coach Joe Gura said. “We held a great player down.

“We tried to get them out of their rhythm offensively and defensively.

Wills and Dexter [Spencer] did an unbelievable job on Nolan, and I thought the rest of our team played great defense.

At times we ran some good offense, too.

“But they are one of the best teams in the Chicago area because they know how to play on both ends of the floor.

They are well coached with great shooters and have a great team concept. They know how to attack anything you do.”

Of course, the Redwings had difficulty slowing down Ragen. The Hilltoppers’ 6-foot-5 senior forward scored 15 points, including three 3-pointers, in the fourth quarter alone, 21 in the second half and 27 total. He hit 10 of 20 shots, including 3 of 6 from 3-point range, and 4 of 4 free throws.

“I really think Benet is one of the best defensive teams we have played,”

Ragen said. “I was kind of looking at the situation of the game in the second half. We have so many good scorers, but when none of them gets going, I try to step up offensively. My teammates did a great job getting me the ball. That’s why I love this team, it’s so selfless.”

“I don’t know if I ever had anyone who works harder every day at practice and every game than Pete Ragen,” Gura said. “He was a game-changer tonight. He was great offensively, and his teammates did not mind getting him the ball. I like the mentality of our team, how they wanted to get him the ball.”

Wills chipped in seven points, Spencer six and Donavan Finch five. Jack Surin finished with nine rebounds and Finch eight, leading JCA to a 32-29 edge on the boards. The Hilltoppers, who hit 5 of 21 from 3-point range, committed a respectable eight turnovers, only one in the second half, but forced only six Benet turnovers.

“It was nice to see our kids to stick to the plan and communicate,” Gura said. “The key offensively is we got good looks. But even if those couple of 3s that went in and out [on shots by Wills and Ragen in the fourth quarter] had gone in, it would have been tough

to beat them.

“But how can I not be pleased? We play like that, and we will compete in our [Class 3A] regional.”

Ragen complimented Wills and Spencer for their defensive efforts against Nolan and said the Hilltoppers came up a little short on the offensive end, where they were patient.

“Wills and Dex gave us huge minutes defensively, and we wanted them to do that without fouling,” Ragen said.

“I thought we forced ourselves on the offensive end on some possessions.

And sometime it seemed like were waiting for the perfect shot instead of taking the best shot that was available right away. But again, their defense was hard to play against.”

JCA’s only lead was 2-0 and the last time the game was tied was at 10 with just under six minutes left in the first half. The Hilltoppers trailed, 23-16, at halftime and 34-28 after three quarters as Benet’s Sam Hettel beat the buzzer with a 3-pointer.

Ragen came close to getting JCA all the way back down the stretch as he scored 10 points in the final 2:22. This time, though, the opponent had a little too much.

FRANKFORT – A griffin is a mythical creature, with the head of an eagle and the body of a lion.

Griffin Magic was on display before a huge Senior Night crowd Friday as the Lincoln-Way East Griffins stunned No. 1 Bolingbrook, 65-64, in a Southwest Suburban Blue battle.

The largest Griffin of all was 6-foot6 junior Sam Shafer, who poured in a career-high 30 points – against a previously unbeaten opponent.

With a minute left, the Griffins (1810, 5-4) led, 65-56. The Raiders (23-1, 8-1), with their undefeated season and state and national rankings in the balance, showed the character of a champion.

With 55 seconds left, Raiders sophomore guard Joseph Yesufu (15 points, four steals) buried a 3 to pull the Raiders within 65-59. Twenty-three seconds later, after stealing the ball, Yesufu hit again from long range and the Raid-

ers were within 65-62. Kaleb Thornton picked up his eighth steal and Nana Akenten (24 points, 11 rebounds) scored to make it 65-64.

East’s Dorian Aluyi (13 points, seven rebounds) was fouled with nine seconds left. Aluyi, who had scored seven of his 13 points in the fourth quarter, went to the free-throw line and missed both shots.

Raiders sophomore Tyler Cochran (three points, four steals) fired a shot that went in and out. A mad scrum took place under the basket as the Raiders put three shots on the rim before gaining possession out of bounds with 1.2 seconds left. A last-second Raider shot misfired and Griffin Magic prevailed as the East student body stormed the court.

“This was an amazing game for us to beat the 19th-ranked school in the nation,” Shafer said. “I struggled with my shot in the early going, but then my teammates got me the ball in good scoring position and I went on to my career best.”

42 GIRLS BOWLING

Harlem outlasts Lockport for state title STAFF REPORT

ROCKFORD – As expected, the Girls State Bowling Tournament became a two-race Saturday, and it was a dandy.

Lockport began Saturday 70 pins behind Machesney Park Harlem and wiped out that deficit in a hurry. The Porters were up by 38 pins after Saturday’s first game, where they shot 1,075, and by 83 after shooting 1,060 in the second game.

However, in Game 3, which was Game 9 of the two-day tournament, Harlem rolled a 1,069 to Lockport’s 975 and was back on top by 11 pins entering the afternoon session. The Huskies led 28 after Game 10, by 55 after Game 11 and won the title by 38 pins. Their 12-game total was 12,310 to runner-up Lockport’s 12,272.

Still, the Porters claimed their third state trophy in three years, a feat, as Lockport coach Art Cwudzinski has pointed out, seldom if ever

has been accomplished in any sport in school history. The Porters won the championship in 2015, were third last year and now second.

“Harlem was just a little better than us on this day,” Cwudzinski said. “If we bowled again next week, we might be a little better than Harlem. Old guys like me like to say I’d rather be lucky than good. To win this, you have to be both.

“I am very proud of the girls, the way they kept fighting. We were way behind after three games Friday, made it up and then some, and had our chance to win it in the last game but fell a little short.”

Waubonsie Valley’s 11,619 was good for third place, 691 pins behind Harlem. O’Fallon, Hoffman Estates and Salem rounded out the top six.

Minooka finished 10th with a score of 11,101.

For Lockport, senior Dana Ackerson and junior Bailey Delrose led the way. Ackerson shot series of 654 and

622 Saturday for a 12-game total of 2,600, a 216.7 average, for sixth place individually. Delrose was seventh at 2,597, a 216.4 norm, after throwing 586 and 624 series Saturday.

Porters senior Paige Reiter opened Saturday with a 655 set and shot 576 in the afternoon for a 2,514 total and 14th place. Senior Monica Colon closed in 34th at 2,400 after a 629-604 effort Saturday. Senior Grace Karraker totaled 932 for five games and senior Marissa Ramirez had 157 for one game Saturday.

“We had two all-staters in Dana and Bailey, and Paige just missed, I believe for the second year in a row,” Cwudzinski said. “Those three, and all our girls, had great tournaments.

Three state trophies in three years for these seniors, what an accomplishment.

“I look at this as the end of an era.

Now it’s time to move on to a new group.”

Minooka battled its way into the

top 12 Friday to qualify for Saturday’s competition and maintained its 10th-place standing. The Indians, under coach Frank Yudzentis, were led by sophomore Kristina Sickler, who finished 37th with a 2,383 total. Her Saturday series were 641 and 573.

Sophomore Gina Russell closed 47th at 2,307 after sets of 610 and 515 Saturday. Senior Carmella Russell, who won the previous week’s sectional at Orland Bowl, went 569-536 Saturday to finish at 2,299 and in 49th place.

Minooka senior Sam Isemonger totaled 2,079. Alyssa Ritchie shot 1,072 for six games over two days, and Erin Dunn totaled 961 bowling three games each day.

Morris was among the 24 qualifiers for state and finished 17th Friday, missing the 12-team cutoff for Saturday. However, Redskins senior Amy Waldron did finish 33rd at 2,401 in the individual competition.

MEN’S VOLLEYBALL: LEWIS D. BALL STATE, 25-27, 25-21, 25-17, 25-17

Flyers recover from Game 1 loss to defeat Cardinals

By KAITLYN JASNICA kjasnica@shawmedia.com ROMEOVILLE – Going into Game 2, the Ball State men’s volleyball team had everything in the works to pull an upset against Lewis on Friday night at Neil Carey Arena.

The No. 11 Cardinals rallied from a 24-23 deficit to win Game 1, 27-25, and normally that type of win would give teams lots of momentum. Ball State had momentum, and Lewis had Ryan Coenen.

The redshirt freshman outside was nearly unstoppable for No. 7 Lewis, helping his team to a 25-27, 25-21, 25-17, 25-17 Midwest Intercollegiate Volleyball Association win.

A valid argument could be made that Coenen was the best player of the match with his court-high 21 kills, .436 hitting percentage and six digs.

No one would disagree, though, that he was the star in Game 1.

Lewis struggled a bit early on to get its offense going. Coenen was the hot hand, however. Trailing, 23-21, he swung for three consecutive kills to give the Flyers game point. In Game 1, he tallied twice as many kills as the next-leading hitter (eight kills, .467

hitting percentage).

“We’ve been talking about pushing it on to the pin so I could work the line as well as the angle,” Coenen said.

“There weren’t a lot of big kills tonight. It was more of just cutting and hitting spots. When I’m doing that and I’m in a groove, I have options and Yoshi [setter Matt Yoshimoto] was finding me. It worked out.”

The next three sets really worked out for the Flyers (10-3, 5-2).

With Lewis up, 17-14, in Game 1, middle blocker Matt Walsh drew Lewis’ middle so the outside had only one blocker on him. Unlucky for the outside, the blocker was Yoshimoto. The sophomore setter roofed the hitter. Through the rest of the night, Yoshimoto dished out 44 assists, while picking up six blocks and six digs.

Redshirt sophomore Mitch Perinar (Minooka), came alive after Game 1 and tallied 15 kills, nine digs and three blocks. Despite being more wellknown for his offensive abilities, Perinar had a solid defensive showing and was hitting from the back row just like he does from the front.

“We’re usually pretty great on the back pin,” Yoshimoto said. “Once I find my rhythm, everything goes well.

We have great hitters.”

John Hodul had the best hitting percentage. He swung for seven kills with no errors on 11 attempts (.636 hitting percentage), and added six blocks.

Jacob Schmiegelt (four blocks) tallied all of his five kills in the last two games, and Jake Walenga came off the bench with four kills and three blocks.

“I thought that we did a better job late in Game 2 and for sure Game 3 and 4,” Lewis coach Dan Friend said.

“We had opportunities to capitalize and did a nice job from the service line in creating those opportunities.

I thought that Mitch [Perinar] did a good job from the service and Coenen had a great game. Matt [Yoshimoto] got better as the game progressed.

That put us in a really good spot.”

Michael Simmons ended the night with a match-high 15 digs and anchored Lewis’ defensive efforts. Lewis came in with the task of defending some big hitters and blockers for Ball State (11-3, 3-2 MIVA).

Brendan Surane posted 17 kills and Matt Szews had 14. Joliet Catholic graduate Blake Reardon saw action in Game 4 and tallied three kills, an ace and a dig.

Junior middle Matt Walsh – the brother of Lewis graduate and former All-American Bobby Walsh – is one of the better blocking middles in the country. The Flyers executed their game plan and kept the sets away from Walsh. That didn’t mean that he didn’t get in some big swings of his own.

“He was taking big-boy swings,” Yoshimoto joked.

“We avoided him. We tried to set the ball away from him,” Friend said.

“I wouldn’t set the ball [by] him. He’s a good player. If we can avoid him and create opportunities with the other guys, that puts us in a good spot.”

Coenen had an answer to the big blocks right from the beginning.

“It’s just about being smart, using your head and not swinging into the block,” Coenen said. “When you have a big block, you have to take smarter swings.”

Not only did Friday give Lewis another MIVA win, but it was special.

The Flyers hosted their first Playing for Preemies game, an event aimed to raise awareness on the subject and to donate money to the Loyola Medical Center’s NICU unit. More than $4,000 reportedly was raised.

BOYS BASKETBALL: YORKVILLE 41, MORRIS 30

By ROB OESTERLE roesterle@shawmedia.com

but Habada made a 3-pointer with a minute left to make it 27-18. Stutzki answered with a 3 of his own to make it 27-21 entering the fourth.

Yorkville got a bucket from Moore to start the fourth quarter before Habada got a steal and layup to put the Foxes ahead, 31-21. Morris countered with a pair of free throws by Stutzki and a basket by Halcomb before Moore and Boxley traded putback baskets for a 33-27 Yorkville lead. Moore then drove the lane for a basket, sparking a 5-0 Yorkville spurt that made it 38-27 with less than a minute left. Boxley hit a 3-pointer to get Morris to within 38-30, but Habada made 3 of 4 free throws to ice it.

“We tried to increase the pace of the game in the second half with our pressure, but the game got away from us in the first half,” Blumberg said.

“Games with us and Yorkville tend to get chippy, and this time we lost our composure a little bit, especially in the first half. We needed to focus that energy on the next play instead of trash talking or throwing elbows.

It takes maturity to bottle that emotion and put it toward the game, and we lacked that a little bit tonight.”

BOYS BASKETBALL: PLAINFIELD SOUTH 55, OSWEGO 54

Marmolejo hits late basket, lifts Cougars

By JOSH WELGE jwelge@shawmedia.com

JOLIET – Anthony Marmolejo can be forgiven if he feels overlooked.

Plainfield South’s sophomore guard has played up on varsity all year, but he’s listed on the sophomore roster in the home program. Without a number, no less.

He’ll be remembered after Friday.

Marmolejo picked up a loose ball and threw in a 15-foot jumper with nine seconds left, and it proved the game-winner as the Cougars beat Southwest Prairie Conference foe Oswego, 55-54.

“I just happened to look down and the ball was there,” said Marmolejo, who wore jersey No. 1 and scored seven points. “I threw it up and it went in.”

On Plainfield South’s last possession Joey Saracco had the ball knocked away by Oswego’s Jaylen Jones on the drive. It popped right

to Marmolejo. His heroics are nothing new. He hit a late 3-pointer in an overtime win over Plainfield East in January.

Oswego had one last chance, but sophomore Dylan Engler missed a baseline runner.

“He hit that big 3 earlier in the year, and he does that,” said South coach Tim Boe, who played three sophomores Friday. “We have a couple young kids playing, and it’s about consistency. They do well in spurts.

[Marmolejo] made a big play at the right time.”

Oswego (9-16, 6-7) had won five of seven coming in and lost by just 12 to Joliet Central on Tuesday.

Devin Smith, one of four Cougars’ senior starters playing their last home game, scored 21 points. Saracco added seven points and eight rebounds for South (5-22, 2-11), which snapped a seven-game losing streak.

The Cougars last won Jan. 16 against Huntley.

“It feels pretty good to win in my last home game here,” Smith said.

“We practice late-game situations defensively all the time, getting big stops. We got some when we needed it.”

Jones scored 29 points, including all but three of Oswego’s points in the second half, on 11-for-27 shooting.

Oswego shot just 7 of 33 from 3-point range against South’s zone defense.

“We practiced that zone all week,” Smith said. “That was the strategy.”

Smith had 13 of his 21 points in the first half for the Cougars, who trailed, 37-34, at the break. Marmolejo’s two free throws put them ahead, 41-39, and they led, 47-45, going into the fourth quarter.

Four lead changes ensued, with Jones’ jumper giving Oswego its last lead, 54-53 with 31.5 seconds left.

“I’m happy for all these seniors,” Boe said. “[Oswego] has been playing good. This is a quality win for us.”

Porters lose

By MIKE FITZGERALD Shaw Media correspondent LOCKPORT – Lockport’s 48-32 loss to Stagg on Friday night in the SouthWest Suburban Blue is a game the Porters want to put in the rearview mirror as soon as possible.

Lockport (11-14, 2-7), battled the Chargers throughout, but its offensive struggles spelled doom.

“It was not good,” Lockport coach Brett Hespell said. “At times we got some pretty good shots, but we missed all of them and clearly you have to make baskets to win the basketball game. For whatever reason, we couldn’t do that tonight.”

The Porters shot 12 of 41 from the field, 29 percent, but despite their offensive woes, they trailed the Chargers only 19-15 at halftime. Stagg guard John Contant got going in the third quarter, and the Chargers pulled away.

The 6-foot-4 senior scored 10 points in the quarter, one 3-pointer, one free throw, and two three-point plays, and Stagg led Lockport, 34-25, after three.

“He had two at halftime and 10 in the third quarter,” Stagg coach John Daniels said. “At halftime, we talked about how we were settling, and we talked about how we needed to get to the rim more. That’s what John did. He put us on his back and he showed why he’s such a good player.”

Contant added seven points in the fourth quarter to keep Stagg (17-8, 5-4) comfortably ahead. He finished with a game-high 19 points.

Chase Travis score 10 for Lockport.

“I thought we ran some stuff well, but executing comes down to making a basket,” Hespell said. “When you play a good team like Stagg, who you know is going to score, you have to make baskets and free throws.

“At this point in the season, you’re not going to change with a whole bunch of reps. You just have to hope it’s a bad night and you live to fight another day next time.”

Daniels can empathize.

“He ran some great sets that got his team some good shots, but they missed those shots,” Daniels said. “I know what that feels like.”

Hespell liked his team’s effort on defense and on the boards.

“I thought we were OK on the boards, and I thought we were OK on defense,” Hespell said. “We made some mistakes at times, but that is going to happen against a team like Stagg. You still have to be able to string something together on offense to sustain you, and we did not do that at all tonight.”

MORRIS – On one hand, you had Morris holding Northern Illinois Big XII Conference rival Yorkville to fewer than 20 points in the first half.

That’s an impressive feat, usually cause for celebration.

On the other, the Redskins couldn’t get too excited, because they trailed Yorkville by 10 at halftime, 18-8, as the Foxes’ defense outdid Morris in the stingy department.

Both teams were able to score just a bit better in the second half, but Yorkville was able to maintain its lead and capture a 41-30 win.

“In both of our games against Yorkville, we really had to struggle to get our shots,” Morris coach Joe Blumberg said. “Credit the defense they play. We were working hard to free [leading scorer] Matt [Shaw] up, but they always seemed to have another hand up or somebody else helping.”

With the Yorkville defense – in particular Jake Eberhart – following Shaw all over the court and clinging to him like a bad smell, the Redskins (12-15, 2-10) were unable to generate much on the offensive end. JaQuan

Boxley led Morris with eight points, while Nathaniel Halcomb had six and Shaw and Delaney Stutzki each had five. Josh Lain scored four points and Tyler Spiezio added two.

Yorkville got off to a 3-0 lead on a 3-pointer by Logan Habada on the game’s opening possession. Habada finished with a game-high 21 points.

Javell Moore added 11 points for the Foxes.

“We made a couple of runs at them in the second half where were cut the lead to six,” Blumberg said. “But each time, they were able to hit a big shot. Habada hit a 3 on us and Moore had a couple of drives to the basket that killed us.”

After Habada’s game-opening 3, Morris got a free throw by Boxley and a putback basket by Halcomb to tie it at 3 before the Foxes scored the final seven points of the quarter to take a 10-3 lead. Shaw’s lone basket of the game, a 3-pointer, with 5:32 to play until halftime pulled Morris within 10-6, but the Redskins never got any closer. Lain scored the last basket of the first half to make it 18-8 at halftime.

Morris got to within 24-18 late in the third quarter when Spiezio scored off an assist from Halcomb,

44 OILERS 3, BLACKHAWKS 1

Hawks squander strong effort after layoff

By MARK LAZERUS mlazerus@suntimes.com

CHICAGO – All things considered, the Blackhawks couldn’t have asked for much more in their first game back from their first-ever bye week.

While teams around have the league have sputtered and stumbled to lopsided losses in their first games back, the Hawks looked sharp, they looked fast, they dominated the puck, and they completely neutralized Edmonton Oilers wunderkind Connor McDavid for much of the game.

“It was a lot better, I guess, than everyone thought it was going to be for us,” goaltender Corey Crawford said.

No, the bye week didn’t stunt the Hawks’ momentum, but the Oilers did snap their five-game win streak with a 3-1 victory at the United Center, thanks to a brilliant 38-save performance by goaltender Cam Talbot. And encouraging as the effort was, it’s getting awfully late in the season for moral victories as they chase the Minnesota Wild for the Central Division title. The Wild hold a nine-point lead after defeating Nashville on Saturday. The Hawks are in little danger of falling out of second place, so chasing down Minnesota might be the last thing to play for in the final quarter of the season.

“We have so many games left to nar-

The game might have turned on a decision that Ryan Hartman called “a no-brainer” early in the second. With the Hawks controlling play but the game still 0-0, Eric Gryba sent Tanner Kero hard into the boards. Hartman didn’t like it, so he did something about it, dropping the gloves in a spirited fight – the first of Hartman’s NHL career.

Hartman took a two-minute instigating minor and a 10-minute misconduct for the fight, and the Oilers scored on

the ensuing power play when Matt Benning’s centering feed from the corner bounced in off Trevor van Riemsdyk’s skate. Hartman had to watch the goal – and the final 17 minutes of the second period – from an exercise bike in the Hawks’ dressing room as he sat out his penalties.

“It was kind of a no-brainer,” Hartman said of the fight. “I tried waiting long enough so it wasn’t an instigator.

It’s kind of a judgment call, I guess. Some refs call it different ways. Unfortunate that it ended up [with] a power play for them, but it’s something you’ve just got

to do.”

The Hawks kept peppering Talbot with shots, including 15 over the final 10 minutes of the second period, but they couldn’t solve him. Quenneville said the sharpness around the net was the one area in which the bye week might have had an effect.

“I thought the shot selection around the net wasn’t great, whether it was the feel of it, or the timing of it, anticipating the puck where it was,” he said. “We missed a lot of opportunities that could have been high-quality chances, that didn’t even get developed. … Our shots tonight were off.”

After a squandered power play early in the third, the Hawks were dealt a dagger when Milan Lucic, left all alone at the right dot, beat Crawford between the legs – leaving Crawford looking up at the ceiling in despair – at 9:50 of the third to make it 2-0. Richard Panik – who had two goals in the 5-1 win in Edmonton before the break – made it 2-1 at 15:13 when he took a Jonathan Toews pass and waited out Talbot for his 15th goal of the season.

But that’s all Talbot gave up, and a McDavid empty-netter sealed the Hawks’ fate.

“I didn’t mind how we played,” Quenneville said. “We’d probably be happy with that effort, that game, most nights – and generally would come out with something better than a loss.”

NEW ORLEANS – Glenn Robinson III is the NBA’s new dunk king, with an assist to Indiana teammate Paul George, the Pacers’ mascot and a Pacers cheerleader.

Robinson leaped over all three, snagging the ball from George along the way before finishing with an emphatic, twohand, reverse jam, giving him a perfect score – and the title – on his final dunk.

Robinson edged Phoenix’s Derrick Jones Jr., who was done in by his failure to complete his difficult first dunk of two in the final round.

Jones still managed a perfect score on his second dunk, when he received a bounce-pass in the paint, put it between his legs and threw down a left-handed jam. But Robinson made sure it wasn’t enough.

In the 3-point contest, Houston’s Eric Gordon dethroned Golden State splash brother Klay Thompson. Kristaps Porzingis of the New York Knicks won the Skills Challenge.

Both dunk finalists delighted the crowd with soaring slams over teammates and others that showcased the explosive spring in their vertical leaps.

Robinson had one dunk in which he leap-frogged one man sitting on another’s shoulders, grabbed the ball from the elevated man’s hands and slamming it home.

Earlier Saturday, Rollie Massimino, who coached Villanova to the 1985 NCAA championship, and Chris Web-

ber were among the 14 finalists for this year’s Basketball Hall of Fame induction class.

Others include NBA referee Hugh Evans, Connecticut star Rebecca Lobo, two-time NBA scoring champion Tracy McGrady, five-time All-Star Sidney Moncrief, Baylor women’s coach Kim Mulkey, Kansas coach Bill Self and twotime NBA champion coach Rudy Tomjanovich.

World wins Rising Stars Challenge: Jamal Murray had 36 points and 11 assists as the World squad beat the U.S., 150-141, on Friday night. Buddy Hield, a New Orleans Pelicans rookie, added 28 points to the delight of the locals.

Murray, a Canadian and Denver Nuggets rookie out of Kentucky, went 9 of 14 on 3-pointers and was voted the game’s MVP. Hield, a Bahamian, was 11-of-22 shooting overall, but just 3 of 12 from deep.

Frank Kaminsky of the Charlotte Hornets scored 33 for the U.S. team and Karl-Anthony Towns of Minnesota scored 24.

Schmidt gets NBA taste: Brazilian basketball great and five-time Olympian Oscar Schmidt joined a parade of retired NBA stars, current WNBA players, team owners, celebrity musicians and TV personalities at the NBA All-Star Celebrity Game on Friday night.

A day after his 59th birthday, Schmidt went 2 for 2 in the game and scored four points. His East team beat the West, 88-59.

Zyrelkis “Zee” Santiago, one of the fitness teachers at the Wesmere subdivision clubhouse for the past three years, is teacher, friend, cheerleader and advocate to her students.

Raising her voice and cheering her on Zyrelkis ‘Zee’ Santiago offers more than workouts in her fitness classes

By DENISE M. BARAN–UNLAND dunland@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – “She’s amazing!”

That was the refrain from one woman after another Tuesday evening at the clubhouse in Plainfield’s Wesmere subdivision. They were referring to Zyrelkis “Zee” Santiago, one of the fitness teachers at the clubhouse for the last three years.

Becky Schwab, 30, of Lisle, said she drives 45 minutes just to attend one of Santiago’s 30-minute classes.

“I love Zee,” Schwab said. “She’s inspirational.”

Inspiring her students is the main reason Santiago, who had her third baby five months ago and taught up until three days before delivery, teaches in the first place.

That’s because Santiago, who turns 39 on Wednesday, understands the struggle and “body shaming” many women experience trying to shed extra pounds, attain fitness and boost their

“I was overweight myself. I wasn’t always fit and healthy,” Santiago said.

“Actually, I lost 90 pounds seven and a half years ago. And I was a bully victim for many years when I was younger. I always said, ‘One day, I’m going to find a way to raise my voice and inspire other people.’ I just didn’t know how.”

Santiago goes Cray-Zee

The opportunity came when Santiago discovered the Insanity workout on DVD and started exercising to them.

Then she joined a live class when that, too, became available. Because her classmates responded to her encouragement, Santiago said the teacher told her, “You should become an instructor, too.”

So Santiago, who had a bachelor’s degree in computer programming and a master’s degree in education, decided to “take a leap of faith,” earn her Insanity certification and keep going to become certified in Turbo Kick, Pound and Cize.

“I had worked for the federal government for several years, but I knew something was missing. It was not my passion,” Santiago said. “When I started doing fitness and health, it didn’t feel like work. It felt like a hobby – doing something fun and meeting new friends.”

She also teaches Black Light Zumba and Zeenergy, which is Santiago’s take on Insanity. Santiago mostly teaches at the Wesmere clubhouse – Santiago has lived in the subdivision for six years, she said – but she also teaches at Anytime Fitness in Romeoville and Bolingbrook.

“My one day off is Sunday,” Santiago said. “I teach all year round, unless I’m sick or on vacation, which I hardly ever go. My dream is to one day open my own studio. The girls are very supportive of that. We’ve been trying for a while, but it costs a lot.”

Corey Hromek, clubhouse director, said that before Santiago began teaching, the fitness classes the subdivision offered were not well-received. Hromek feels Santiago’s success is partly due to her proficiency in new, different and current trends.

“The ones [classes] with the most success have instructors that the students like and enjoy,” Hromek said. “I

Building a tribe

Nina Campbell of Plainfield was battling excess pregnancy weight and postpartum depression when she joined a fitness class. Campbell saw little results until she learned about Santiago’s classes and decided to give them a try.

Santiago’s encouragement, nutrition advice, the recipes she shares with her students and the auxiliary Facebook group Santiago runs for her students – which has more than 800 members and is growing – made all the difference for Campbell.

“She literally saved my life,” Campbell said. “She’s one of a kind.”

Deanna Leonhardt of Plainfield also lost her pregnancy weight – Leonhardt has a 20-month-old – through Santiago’s classes, which Santiago teaches to music, Leonhardt said. Now that Leonhardt is pregnant again, Santiago’s commitment to exercise during her own pregnancy is motivating Leonhardt.

“She’s so cool and such a great role model,” Leonhardt said.

Students range in age from young adult to seniors, and Santiago is hap-

“People make a ton of excuses not to exercise. It’s either boring or hard or they fall off the wagon, so I’m constantly changing the game, constantly on top of them, asking for feedback.”

Zyrelkis “Zee” Santiago fitness teacher

py to modify classes to meet students’ needs and abilities. Santiago’s classes at the Wesmere clubhouse are free for residents and $5 for nonresidents, but Santiago is forever offering punch cards and freebies, such as on Tuesday night.

“It’s Valentine’s Day,” Santiago said. “Tonight, nobody pays.”

Many classes begin with Santiago taking class selfies and posting them on social media. She encourages her students to share photos of their progress on Santiago’s Facebook group page.

“Some have lost 100 pounds, some 90, some 30 and some are just starting the journey with me,” Santiago said. “I have students that come every single day.

“They follow me from Wesmere to Romeoville and Bolingbrook and are very active in the group. And then we

have the quiet ones [on the Facebook group] who are waiting for the right time to join.”

Santiago helps with meal plans, calories calculation and portion control, which Santiago said helps keep them accountable. Santiago considers herself teacher, advocate and friend.

“We help each other with more than fitness,” Santiago said. “They came out to my baby shower. We support each other. We have tank tops we created for the group and we came up with the name together.”

Santiago’s own cheerleader is her husband, Gilberto Morales. He not only cares for their three children – Zyrelisse, 10; Josmany, 6; and Junyel, 5 months – while Santiago teaches, his insistence Santiago follow her passion lets her be a full-time mom during the day, too.

And Santiago knows how hard it is for moms to find time to workout.

“Fitness is hard. I work very hard to make it fun,” Santiago said. “People make a ton of excuses not to exercise. It’s either boring or hard or they fall off the wagon, so I’m constantly changing the game, constantly on top of them, asking for feedback.”

Jennifer Koss of Joliet celebrated her one-year anniversary last week.

The classes with the “high energy, good team spirit” have given Koss a much-needed outlet, she said.

“They’ve taught me to deal with life a little better,” Koss said.

Kelly Whyte, kindergarten through eighth-grade principal at Richland District 88A in Crest Hill, stands with Patrick Flynn, principal at Drauden Point Middle School in Plainfield and Three Rivers Region director of the Illinois Principals Association.

The HERALD–NEWS CREST HILL – At the regular board meeting on Jan. 18, Pat Flynn from the Illinois Principals Association (IPA), Three Rivers Division, presented Kelly Whyte the Regional Elementary Principal of the Year award.

This recognition qualifies her for consideration for the Illinois Elementary Principal of the Year.

For the past 10 years, Whyte has served as K-8 principal at Richland District 88A. Under her leadership, she facilitated the establishment of a formal curriculum in the district, aligned the curriculum to Common Core standards and provided a model for teachers to map their curriculum and use as a tool to guide their instruction.

Furthermore, Whyte instituted a junior high school schedule developed to implement the Common Core standards with fidelity, while allowing students access to a variety of electives to help them identify their interests and talents before moving on to the high school.

The schedule provides flexibility for teachers to provide differentiated Tier I interventions and enhancements to those students in need of more rigorous challenges, as well as needed support in both reading and math.

The process Whyte uses to empower teachers is a committee structure starting with the DIP (District Improvement Team) to the SIP (School Improvement Teams) at both buildings, (K-4 & 5-8).

Once these teams put in place the framework for improvement, additional groups, such as the Professional Development Committee to poll the teachers for global input regarding needed support on an annual basis.

Districtwide assessment of the SIPs and DIP completed through a regular quarterly review and analysis of data, desegregated by building and grade level. Grade level teams use a data-driven decision-making model for support during weekly problem-solving meetings.

In addition, Whyte meets quarterly with a parent advisory group to gain input from the parents’ perspective on a variety of topics. This is an ongoing process and is assessed and modified as needed.

One piece of evidence Whyte’s efforts are successful are in the most recent PARCC scores. As the district experienced overall growth, the elementary level demonstrated a double-digit percentage growth over the 2015 scores. Overall, district test scores exceed the state average.

University of St. Francis honors outstanding alumni The HERALD–NEWS JOLIET – On Nov. 12, 2016, the University of St. Francis in Joliet honored six talented alumni for their professional achievements. Nominations were received from family members, coworkers, fellow alumni and others who could testify to the nominees’ achievements.

The recipients were selected by the association’s executive board of directors, based on outstanding professional and personal successes as well as involvement in civic, cultural or charitable activities.

The most prestigious award, the Presidential Award, is awarded by the university president. In addition, one alumnus from each of the university’s four colleges is honored each year, highlighting the diverse disciplines of a comprehensive university.

2016 Presidential Award Winner: Jessica (Saraga) ’05 & Brendan Walsh ’05 (Joliet) Brendan and Jessica (Saraga) Walsh both graduated from the University of St. Francis with degrees in mass communication. Brendan concentrated on broadcasting and Jessica in media arts and advertising/public relations. Each was very involved in clubs, helping to launch Exploring Joliet and The Encounter online, respectively.

After graduation Brendan began working in the Chicago film industry, working on several movies and TV shows that would air on channels such as CNBC, A&E, and Discovery. In 2006 he decided to open his own video production company, Great Lakes Media.

Jessica began her career in community journalism after graduating, working her way up to managing editor for nine weekly Chicago newspapers and working part time for Great Lakes Me-

dia. In 2010 Jessica decided to work full time for Great Lakes.

At USF the Walshes are known for their work producing, filming and editing video for many university departments. Their work also includes several productions in the Chicago area.

Their love for the natural world led them to the creation of “Making Waves: Battle for the Great Lakes.” This twohour series about aquatic invasive species in the Great Lakes premiered on PBS throughout Illinois, New York and Michigan. Chicago news legend Bill Kurtis narrated the documentary while the couple wrote, edit and produced the film.

The Walshes plan to continue to pursue their passion and to educate, engage and inspire people to meet the environmental challenges of the day.

JOLIET – The Zonta Club of Joliet will honor its 2017 Woman of Distinction, Kay Bolden, during the club’s annual fundraiser on March 5, at the Crystal Grand, 12416 S. Archer Ave. in Lemont.

The event begins with a social hour at 11 a.m. and lunch at noon. The Woman of Distinction is a person who has contributed to Zonta’s mission of improving the status of women around the world.

Bolden is the executive director of the Warren-Sharpe Community Center, a Joliet native and the daughter of civil-rights activists Judge Raymond Bolden and the late Kathleen Bolden, founder of the center.

When Warren-Sharpe Community Center opened its doors in 1991, Bolden was appointed its first executive director. With a mission to reach the highrisk teens on Joliet’s south side, and to transform a struggling neighborhood, Bolden developed a holistic and inclusive approach to solving neighborhood problems.

Under her stewardship, the center

has grown into a full-service community resource, providing educational, recreational and social support programs to low-income families all over Will County. The center’s food pantry supports over 800 households every month, and has been featured as a model program in The Full Plate, the newsletter of Solve Hunger Today.

Bolden’s work has appeared in Woman’s Day, Mothering MagaKay Bolden zine, American Baby, the Chicago Tribune, Chicken Soup for the Single’s Soul, and other print and online publications.

In January, 2014, she published her first book, “She Lives in You! The Kathleen Bolden Story.” Her second book, “Veggie Casserole: Kids Cook the Darndest Things,” based on her experiences with the Center’s Kids in the Kitchen program, was published in March, 2016.

Tickets for the Zonta fundraiser are $65 and can be bought in advance from event co-chair Mary Baudino at mfbaudino59@aol.com or 815-955-4066.

Proceeds support Guardian Angel Community Services and international Zonta charities.

Vegan diet may cause B12 deficiency

| FUN & GAMES

Dear Doctor: One of my resolutions for the new year was to become a vegan, and now my girlfriend is saying I’ll have to take supplements to get enough vitamin B12. Why can’t I get B12 in my diet, and what will happen if I fall short?

Dear Reader: Your girlfriend has done her homework -- vitamin B12 is a nutrient that is essential to human health.

And while it occurs naturally in a wide range of animal foods, B12 is not found in any plant foods. As a vegan, you’re now going to have to rely on supplements to be sure you get enough B12.

Why is it so important?

Vitamin B12 is a bit of a workhorse.

Not only does it play a key role in the proper functioning of the brain and the nervous system, it’s crucial to the production of red blood cells in the bone marrow. As though that wasn’t enough, B12 also aids in DNA and RNA synthesis, and is involved in the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats and proteins. Research shows that B12 also has a hand in maintaining mood and memory.

The body does not store B12, so you need to ingest it every day. Beef liver and clams have the highest concentrations of the nutrient.

It is also present in varying quantities in red meat, eggs, poultry, shellfish, milk and milk products. Many breakfast cereals and some dairy products are fortified with B12. For vegans, there are non-dairy milks, meat substitutes and nutritional yeast products to which B12 has been added. Dietary supplements are widely available.

What happens when B12 is in short supply?

Considering all the roles the nutrient plays in health and well-being, the list of symptoms is long and sometimes quite

ASK THE DOCTORS Elizabeth Ko and Eve Glazier serious.

People with a B12 deficiency may feel weak and tired, the result of the vitamin’s role in producing the red blood cells that carry oxygen throughout the body. Since B12 helps maintain the protective sheath around your nerves, a lack of the vitamin can lead to strange sensations like numbness or tingling, as well as problems with balance or walking. Mood and memory may also suffer.

In extreme cases, B12 deficiency can lead to megaloblastic anemia, a blood disorder in which the red blood cells produced in the bone marrow are unusually large, malformed and immature.

And while your girlfriend is right about your need for vigilance in getting enough B12, she may do well to examine her own B12 status. Recent studies suggest that up to 40 percent of the population, vegan or not, may be flirting with B12 insufficiency. Due to physiological changes associated with aging, the elderly are at increased risk of vitamin B12 deficiency. Individuals who have undergone weight-loss surgery must also make a special effort to get enough of the nutrient.

As for you, a newly minted vegan, we recommend that you seek professional advice, preferably from your family doctor, to be certain that you forge a wise nutritional course.

Late to bed and late to rise makes mom and kids tardy Dear Abby: I will be spending a couple of months visiting my daughter, who is a single mom. She has asked me to help her wake her 8- and 11-yearold kids in the morning and have them ready for school.

Unfortunately, she works some distance away from her home. The kids attend private school and are involved in sports. The problem is, they eat and go to bed later than they should. In the morning, they can’t wake up or get out of bed. She reminds them repeatedly to get ready, but when it’s time to leave and they’re not dressed or haven’t eaten breakfast, my daughter begins raising her voice. Leaving late means the kids arrive at school late, and my daughter is late for work.

I’m leaving in a couple of weeks and need some guidance on how to approach this no-win situation. – Rise

BE A GOOD

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips and Shine in Maine Dear Rise and Shine: I’m surprised

the teachers haven’t complained about your grandchildren’s constant tardiness, or that your daughter’s boss hasn’t warned her about her constant lateness. It’s time you and your daughter had a private chat.

As you have stated, your grandchildren are going to bed so late it’s interfering not only with their school schedule, but their mother’s work schedule. The obvious solution would be for her to get the kids to bed at an earlier hour, with lights off and no electronics. You can enforce it while

NEIGHBOR

you are there, but unless your daughter is willing to continue to do that, nothing will change.

Dear Abby: For the past five years, I have been using the (very small!) exercise room in my apartment complex every day after work. It’s an important part of my routine. A couple of weeks ago, a new girl started coming into the exercise room shortly after I start my workout (it’s a little crowded, but no problem).

Last week, she started coming in just a few minutes before I get there.

She puts her TV show on (very loudly), uses the machine I always use, and when I walk in at my usual time, I must use an old machine I don’t like and watch her horrible show.

I have lived here longer and feel I have earned my time in the gym, and she is being sneaky by coming in just

Volunteer.

before I do. I cannot come in earlier since I get there as soon as I get off work.

I’m tempted to exert my seniority! I feel wronged, even though I know it’s not my personal gym. Is there anything I can do when I feel snubbed like this? – Worked Up (Not Out) in Ohio Dear Worked Up: One of the sometimes unwritten rules of gyms is that the person who arrives first gets to choose which machine to use and whatever television show he or she prefers. If you can’t make it in before the new girl arrives, then you will have to adjust your schedule and come in later when she’s out of there, or reach a compromise with her. Sorry.

SUNDAY HOROSCOPE

By EUGENIA LAST Newspaper Enterprise Association TODAY – Strive to achieve personal goals this year.

Information will play a key role in how you move forward. Refuse to let emotional self-deception clutter your vision. Don’t give in or become a martyr. Put a little fight and drive into your efforts if you want to succeed.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – On your mark, get set, go! Don’t look back or hesitate. Make your move with confidence in order to accomplish everything you set out to do. Personal improvement can be done.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Emotional situations will put you in a precarious position. Don’t feel

that you must prove anything to anyone. Stick to your own devices and avoid interference and peer pressure.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – A personal agreement will open new emotional, financial and professional possibilities for you. Love and romance are featured, along with a positive lifestyle change. Expand your mind and your interests.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Get together with people who add to your happiness. Doing things with children or a good friend or taking part in a retreat geared toward promoting awareness will add to your growth.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Reach for the stars. Set personal goals and don’t slow down until you are satisfied. Make a commitment to settle down and

make improvements to your lifestyle.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Don’t overdo it. Trying to impress someone with what you have will be a waste of time. Stay focused on offering help and suggestions, not on trying to buy acceptance.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Make a commitment.

Choose to be a part of something big. Indulge in what makes you happy and brings you greater satisfaction. Choose to conquer your fears and achieve your goals.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – You’ll face opposition at home if you refuse to compromise. Relationships take work and cooperation from everyone involved.

Don’t be the one to cause problems when you can be the one to resolve them.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Partnerships and rela-

tionships with the people who make your world go around are highlighted. Make a commitment that will lead to greater stability and long-term security.

Romance is featured.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Deception regarding how the family finances are being used will come as a surprise. Do your best to find a solution without getting into an argument about bad choices.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Emotional deception when dealing with outsiders is apparent.

Spend time with and rely on people you know you can trust to help you improve your life.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Avoid situations that require drastic measures. Impulsive actions will not serve you well. Be prepared to walk away from anyone or anything that makes you feel uncertain.

Brian Tracy, a motivational public speaker and self-development author, said, “Move out of your comfort zone. You can only grow if you are willing to feel awkward and uncomfortable when you try something new.”

At the bridge table, you will occasionally be in an awkward position, maybe even one that you have not faced before. Then, how do you decide what to do?

Look at today’s South hand. It is strong and you are hoping to have a lengthy, informative auction with your partner, when annoyingly East opens three spades -- yes, spades!

What would be your call, given that only your side is vulnerable?

It is not obvious what to do: pass, double, three no-trump or some number of diamonds. Each could be the winner.

At the table in the 2016 Yeh Online World Bridge Cup, Shih Juei Yu (South for the Yeh team) overcalled three no-trump, which would be a popular choice. Then, though, the auction ran out of control. Wang Ping (North) bid four hearts, South corrected to five diamonds, North continued higher with six clubs, and South tried six diamonds. West lost patience and doubled, eventually collecting 800.

At the other table, East passed as dealer, Agustin Madala (South for Lavazza) opened one spade, West made a debatable takeout double, Benedicte Cronier (North) responded two clubs, East unwisely advanced with two hearts, South made a takeout double, and North happily passed.

This also went down three, minus 500, giving Lavazza 16 international match points en route to the title.

Misfits are miserable.
