County Board member Steve Balich responds after calls for resignation

By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A Will County Board member maintains he has a right to free speech just like those who have demanded his resignation over a post he shared last month on his blog.

County board member Steve Balich, R-Homer Township, shared the post, titled “What’s Left of The Left” and written by Dan Proft, on his blog, WillCountyNews. com.

The post can still be viewed on the website upstream-ideas.com, where Balich found it. He often shares posts from other organizations on his blog.

Balich said the post was in response to women’s marches that took place nationwide last month. It stated, “And so Trump’s unity-signaling Inaugural Address was quickly followed by a protest march of grumpy old women and their wives to which Susan B. Anthony would not have been welcome.”

Balich said Monday that he took the post down sometime around Jan. 20 after being contacted by people who said they were offended. He then apologized Feb. 2

much of it was anti-Trump, not necessarily for equality. He said the post he shared was nowhere near as vulgar as what was being said at the marches.

“Who is the judge of what is right and wrong as far as an opinion?” Balich said, although he maintained the post was not his opinion and was written as satire.

He said he shares all types of opinions and news on the blog.

“I said I’m sorry if I offended some people,” Balich said Monday. “I support women’s rights 100 percent and the rights of all citizens. It’s real clear. But that isn’t good enough for them, so they go to the full county board meeting.”

Another constituent said at the meeting that one of Balich’s more recent posts was “very anti-Muslim.”

Balich said he’s against illegal immigration and for legal immigration. He said he’s not anti-Muslim and has a lot of Muslim friends, but wants the refugee vetting process to be re-evaluated no matter what country someone comes from.

Balich said he has received emails and phone calls from people asking for his resignation, but that he has no plans to resign.

Will County students to learn about motivation, self-esteem at girls leadership conference

By FELIX SARVER

fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The Will County Regional Office of Education will present its 2017 Girl Leadership Conference on Thursday.

The conference was first organized by state Sen. Jennifer Bertino-Tarrant, D-Shorewood, who once served as the Will County regional superintendent of schools and will be the 2017 event’s closing guest speaker.

The event will be held from 8:30 a.m. to 1:20 p.m. at the Jacob Henry Mansion, 20 S. Eastern Ave., Joliet.

The conference will address anti-bullying, leadership, college and career

at a meeting of the board’s Executive Committee, after board Speaker Jim Moustis, R-Frankfort, asked that he address it.

But some say apologizing at a committee meeting wasn’t enough. On Thursday, three women spoke out against Balich’s post in the public comment portion of a county board meeting.

Virginia Rimeika, of New Lenox, was the first to speak, saying she felt strongly about Balich’s post.

“I’m tired of the callous, sexist attitude women experience everyday,” Rimeika said. “I’m also very motivated to make a positive change in our political culture.

Mr. Balich is entitled to his opinions, but as an elected official, you accepted a job representing all people in your district.”

Rimeika said Balich should publicly apologize to those in his district who marched and supported the causes of the march. Balich did not speak at the Thursday meeting after the women spoke.

Balich said Monday he happened to be in downtown Chicago the day the march occurred and shared an elevator with marchers who used vulgar language related to Trump. He said he saw people dressed as women’s private parts and that

preparation, self-esteem, health and fitness for students from almost 30 schools countywide. The theme for the event is “be your own kind of beautiful.”

One of the speakers for this year’s conference will be Jodee Blanco, a motivational speaker, author and anti-bullying activist. She will speak during a session about stopping bullying.

Blanco has written a memoir called “Please Stop Laughing At Me … One Woman’s Inspirational Story” that tells of her years as a student outcast.

From fifth grade through her senior year of high school, Blanco was “shunned, abused and tormented” by her peers for being different and “refusing to conform to the rules of the cool crowd,”

according to her website.

In another session, the students will learn about self-esteem from Colette Tracy, with Junior Achievement, a nonprofit education organization. The students will then learn about health and fitness from the Inwood Athletic Center, which is part of the Joliet Park District.

The conference is sponsored by the Jacob Henry Mansion, Bertino-Tarrant, Blanco, Junior Achievement, Exxon Mobil, Bays Investments, USA Docufinish, D’Arcy Motors and the Inwood Athletic Center.

Last year, the regional office held a Boys Leadership Conference at the mansion that included students from almost 20 schools.

MAKING THEIR MARK

Brothers unite to open brick oven pizzeria in Plainfield

By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – After decades working for others, brothers Corey and Dave Svoboda are taking years of experience in the restaurant, bar and beverage industries and bringing their own vision to life.

In mid- to late March, the Svobodas will open Freedom Brothers Pizzeria & Alehouse in Plainfield.

Svoboda means freedom in Slavic languages. And together, the brothers will have creative freedom as they get back to doing what their family does best.

Their ancestors owned and operated Svoboda’s Nickelodeon Tavern in Chicago Heights for 80 years. It closed in 1987.

“This is in our blood,” Dave said.

Corey has worked for various establishments in Chicago, and Dave spent the past 12 years working for the Wirtz family and Breakthru Beverage Group. But it was time for a change.

“Corey talked me into it,” Dave said of their plan to open a brick oven pizzeria. “I was doing a 9-to-5 for 12 years. But this is an opportunity to work together and create something new.”

The brothers have worked together

before, but for other people.

“It’s been over a year in talks,” said Corey, who moved to nearby Naperville seven months ago. “I was negotiating the lease for the pizzeria. I wanted to get out of the city.”

Corey worked for a pizzeria in Phoenix, where he said he fell in love with wood-fired, brick oven pizza.

“We have a love affair with pizza,” Corey said.

So the Svobodas bought a 12,000-pound brick oven and shipped it from Texas to 11914 S. Route 59 in Plainfield, at the southwest corner of Route 59 and 119th Street. They’re bringing in a master of brick oven pizza to tweak their menu, which is a rough draft at this point.

“We’re not chefs, so we rely on the pros,” Dave said.

The brothers will stock the mammoth oven with oak logs, which “burn hot and last long.” The pizza cook time

MyGrain targets July opening 2 charged for Union Station brewpub in break-in NEW LENOX

By BOB OKON

The HERALD–NEWS

bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Developers of a brewpub at Union Station hope to open by July.

The MyGrain Brewing Co. brewpub has been in the works for nearly a year.

Entrepreneurs Vince Turrise and Greg Lesiak are renovating first-floor space in the 1912 train station for their MyGrain brewpub. They leased the space in April from the city of Joliet, which owns the station.

Turrise said he and Lesiak are trying to open the brewpub by June if possible but have set July as the target date.

The summer opening date depends, he said, on the city approving a change in the lease agreement that would bypass typical city bidding procedures for new heating and air conditioning needed for the space.

The brewpub owners want to take advantage of summertime activity downtown, including baseball games at the Joliet Slammers stadium about a block away.

“You get more foot traffic [in summer],” Turrise said. “The baseball field will be active. There will be summer festivals. We want to be open for that.”

City officials last week told the city council’s Economic Development Committee that the MyGrain space needs a new heating and air conditioning system.

Typically, a major capital investment like that is done by the city, which owns the building. Officials said the developers are concerned that plans for a summer opening would be delayed by the city’s bidding process. They want

City officials have projected that new heating and air conditioning would cost about $400,000.

Naperville man dies in New Lenox motorcycle crash

By BRIAN STANLEY

bstanley@shawmedia.com NEW LENOX – A Naperville man died Sunday after his motorcycle crashed on an interstate ramp.

At 5:39 p.m., Reubenoff W. Richardson, 55, was riding a 2014 Harley-Davidson west on Interstate 80 when he got onto the entrance ramp for Interstate 355, according to Illinois State Police.

Richardson, who was not carrying any passengers, lost control of the bike and drove off the roadway, crashing into an embankment and coming to rest on the median, investigators said.

Richardson was taken to Silver Cross Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 6:54 p.m., according to the Will County Coroner’s Office. An autopsy was scheduled to be performed Monday.

Councilman Larry Hug said he wanted some price protection in the lease rewrite so that “we’re not paying a huge premium for their convenience.”

The full city council will vote on the lease change at its first meeting in March.

Turrise said that going through the city procedures for heating and air conditioning could push back the opening about two months, meaning the brewpub would open in the fall.

Meanwhile, the city in coming weeks plans to fix leaks in the roof over the brewpub space.

The space also has a corroded vertical steel beam that needs to be replaced, Turrise said.

NEW LENOX – Two teens were arrested Friday after breaking into a New Lenox garage.

About 1:45 a.m., a resident in the 100 block of Wintree Lane noticed someone looking into the window with a flashlight and an SUV running in the street nearby, according to a statement from New Lenox police.

“The resident advised that the suspicious sub- Cortez J. ject made entry to their Michalski attached garage and removed property,” the statement said.

Officers were given a description of the SUV and stopped it a short time later. The driver, Cortez J. Michalski, 18, of the 200 block of York Place in New Lenox, matched the description of the man who’d been using the flashlight and property taken from the garage was visible inside, according to police.

“A backpack containing a loaded pistol, a ski mask, and over 130 grams of cannabis were recovered from the SUV,” the statement said.

Michalski and his passenger, a 17-year-old Joliet boy, were arrested.

Michalski was charged with residential burglary, unlawful use of a weapon, marijuana possession and possession of drug paraphernalia, and booked into the Will County Jail.

The 17-year-old was charged with unauthorized possession of a firearm, marijuana possession and possession of drug paraphernalia, and booked into the River Valley Juvenile Detention Center.

12 SHOREWOOD

Generations come together to make lapidary jewelry

By KRIS STADALSKY

Shaw Media correspondent Lynn Larson sits under a bright light and delicately winds gold wire around each bead of a bridal rosary. It’s a tedious task, but necessary to ensure every pearl or stone is securely held to the piece she is designing.

Larson has perfected the art of wire wrapping, whether it’s large necklaces, tiny earrings or intricate rings. She twists, bends and wraps gold or silver wire around pieces of precious and semi precious stones and crystals to create one-of-a-kind designs.

Larson is the third generation in her family to take up the art of lapidary jewelry – using stones and minerals from the earth.

She learned the skill from her own father and has handed it down to her daughter, Gia Rodriquez, and now her granddaughter, Samantha Rodriguez.

The three women work together at GeGe’s Lapidary Jewelry, in the Shorewood Plaza, which opened just over a year ago, creating unique and personalized pieces.

“Not everyone wants to wear what everyone else does,” Gia Rodriguez said.

Kris Stadalsky for Shaw Media

A piece of Castiel Corral is displayed; Samantha Rodriguez designs Valentine’s Day jewelry with her son in her lap.

“People like one-of-a-kind jewelry.”

Jewelry making in the family began generations ago in Oregon with Lynn’s great-grandfather, who was a “rock hound,” or someone who collects rough rock.

Do you have coins collecting dust in a safety deposit box?

Has it been years since you visited your coin collection?

Did you inherit a coin collection you threw under the bed or in the closet?

Many rare coins have never been worth more than they are RIGHT NOW.

He would then cut and trim the slabs of rock into pieces with saws and polish or tumble the stone to make them shiny.

He mostly collected jasper and agate, Gia said.

Because he wasn’t a goldsmith, he

For 35 years, we’ve been the leading buyer of coin collections, silver & gold bullion, and old paper money in the Joliet area and beyond.

Most our clients were referred to us by family, friends, attorneys, banks, etc. due to our consistent history of fair and honest dealings, whether buying or selling. In fact, we’re so busy, we’re not sure why we advertise at all, but just in case you’re new to the area, we buy and sell:

We also buy gold, silver, platinum & palladium in any form: Old Class Rings, Wedding Bands, Sterling Silver Flatware (not sure if it’s silver, bring it in and we’ll test it for free) We buy the common stuff too: Wheat Pennies, Buffalo Nickels, Indian Head Cents, Silver Certificates, Red Seal Notes, Junk Foreign Coins, Old Tokens & Medals etc.

No collection is too large or too small. Please visit our website, or stop in our store for a list of the hundreds of items we buy.

would buy the settings to create his own jewelry.

“This was a hobby for him,” Gia said.

Love of the art was handed down the generations. An uncle went to school to become a gold and silversmith and a shop was set up in Gia’s grandfather’s garage where they would all gather to do their part in making lapidary jewelry.

When family members moved to the Midwest, they set up shop in another family garage and continued the craft.

For 30 years, Larson sold handmade pieces at wholesale tradeshows all across the county. Gia began traveling with her in 2000.

“I was already making jewelry [before traveling],” said Gia. “My love for it just grew more and more.”

When the economy tanked, they started selling locally, attending bridal expos and local events.

With the opening of GeGe’s Lapidary Jewelry, three generations have space to design, make and sell their jewelry.

Soon the stone cutting and polishing equipment will follow them to the shop and there will be no more working out

of garages.

Gia travels out west and to Mexico to buy minerals and stones. Some need to be cut and polished. Others, like a piece of calcite which grew in the shape of a cross, are ready and waiting for a design to be set into.

Gia has been learning the art of wire wrapping from her mother and now that Samantha has joined in the family art and business, she too is learning and creating her own unique style, Lynn said.

Samantha likes to pair pearls and

Swarovski crystals to reflect the sun and make them shine. She brings a younger perspective with new designs she calls Dark Desires.

“They are steampunk, goth and elegance all mixed together,” Samantha said.

Gia first found her love of lapidary jewelry in seed beads her father brought home for her to work with when she was just nine. At 12 she attended her first rock and gem show and she was fascinated by the fossils, the vendors and the jewelry – everything from Mother Earth was at that show, she said.

“Now I like to imagine what I would wear to a function,” Gia said. “[The idea] pops into my head and I make it.”

They will get some of their produce from nearby Wagner Farms in Naperville.

STATE

Workers’ comp for pro athletes in question

By KIANNAH SEPEDA–MILLER The Associated Press

SPRINGFIELD – Should injured pro athletes be allowed to earn workers’ compensation benefits until they are 67 years old, like other workers, even if their athletic careers normally would have ended more than 30 years earlier?

That issue is being debated between the Chicago Bears and the NFL Players Association in the Illinois Legislature as one unlikely element of a compromise proposal to end a nearly two-year fight over the state’s budget.

The Bears are leading other Chicago sports franchises in backing a measure that would reduce a former player’s ability to tap into workers’ compensation after a career-ending injury. They want to cap certain payments to athletes at no older than 35 or five years after their injury. Currently they can claim benefits up to age 67, like other workers.

Neither the teams nor players’ advocates will say how much money is at stake. They agree it is not a relatively big pot – while theoretically some could claim millions, most if not all athletes settle their claims for reduced sums up front, the players association said.

Only a handful of pro players filed for the benefit here in the past four years, although the association would not identify them or describe their individual cases. But one example in the public record of an athlete who claimed this compen-

The Chicago Bears and the NFL Players Association are at odds over a workers’ compensation benefit bill in the Illinois Legislature. sation is former Bears offensive lineman Ted Albrecht, a first-round draft choice whose career ended with a back injury in 1982. An arbitrator tried to deny his claim, but an appeals court ruled he was entitled to receive an award based on the difference between his $130,000 Bears salary and what he later earned as a travel agent and sportscaster, which ranged from $87,000 to $36,000 between 1983 and 1986.

The Bears said Illinois’ law regulating compensation is overly generous.

They also argue the existing rules attract players from other states to file claims in Illinois.

“Will there be savings? Yes, there will be savings,” Bears attorney Cliff Stein said.

But the Bears said the measure is really about being fair to other Illinois workers with longer careers in other

fields.

NFL Players Association spokesman George Atallah said the benefits provide a lifeline to players whose athletic careers end suddenly – especially lower paid athletes performing just on practice teams or in minor leagues, who may lack sufficient savings and education to fall back on.

“The savings to these (team) owners are negligible whereas the benefits to these players are everything,” Richard Gordon, an attorney who represents NFL players, told The Associated Press.

Napoleon Harris, a former NFL linebacker and now a Democrat in the Illinois Senate, opposes the provision. He said it would unfairly “carve out” professional athletes from laws meant to protect employees.

“It almost feels like players are being used,” Harris said. “The owner’s not limping after the game, but the owner’s collecting billions of dollars in profits.”

It’s not the first time NFL teams have urged lawmakers to rein in compensation claims. California passed a measure in 2013 pushed by the NFL that restricted out-of-state players from filing there.

States differ in how much they require employers to compensate injured workers for decreased earning potential.

Bears officials argued that no state offers payment for as long or as much as Illinois does, but the players association contends that some state compensation laws are comparable.

SAN FRANCISCO – Forecasters issued flash flood warnings Monday throughout the San Francisco Bay Area and elsewhere in Northern California as downpours swelled creeks and rivers in the already soggy region.

The National Weather Service said heavy rain was expected to persist into the evening and cause flooding on the Carmel River in Monterey County and Coyote Creek in Santa Clara County.

In the San Joaquin Valley, residents were patrolling levees for signs of danger, reviewing evacuation plans and filling hundreds of sand bags as the San Joaquin River kept rising.

“Our community is pulling together like real champs,” said San Joaquin River Club resident Paula Martin, who is helping coordinate emergency plans for the private neighborhood of 800 homes.

The weather service issued snow and wind advisories, including a flash flood warning for the Soberanes burn area in Monterey County.

Trump looks to move past controversial month

By JULIE PACE

The Associated Press WASHINGTON – As President Donald Trump begins his second month in office, his team is trying to move past the crush of controversies that overtook his first month and make progress on health care and tax overhauls long sought

by Republicans.

Both issues thrust Trump, a real estate executive who has never held elected office, into the unfamiliar world of legislating. The president has thus far relied exclusively on executive powers to muscle through policy priorities and has offered few details about what he’ll require in any final legislative packages, like how the proposals should be paid for.

The White House also sent conflicting signals about whether the president will send Congress his own legislative blueprints or let lawmakers drive the process.

White House chief of staff Reince Priebus told The Associated Press that he expects a health care plan to emerge in “the first few days of March.”

Pressed on whether the plan would be coming from the White House, Priebus said, “We don’t work in a vacuum.”

On Sunday, White House advisers held a three-hour meeting on health care at Trump’s South Florida club, their third lengthy discussion on the topic in four days. Gary Cohn, the former Goldman Sachs banker now serving as Trump’s top economic adviser, and newly sworn in Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin have been leading talks with Republican lawmakers and business leaders on taxes. Neither man has previous government experience.

Republicans long blamed Democrats for blocking efforts to overhaul the nation’s complicated tax code and make changes to the sweeping 2010 health care law signed by President Barack Obama. But with the GOP now in control of both the White House and Congress,

To some Republicans’ chagrin, both issues were overshadowed during Trump’s first month. The president spent more time publicly fighting the media than selling Americans on his vision for a new health care law. Fresh questions emerged about Trump’s ties to Russia, particularly after national security adviser Michael Flynn was fired for misleading the White House about his conversations with a Russian envoy. The White House botched the rollout of a refugee and immigration executive order, Trump’s most substantive policy initiative to date, and the directive was quickly blocked by the courts.

Priebus said the distractions did not slow down work happening behind the scenes on the president’s legislative priorities.

“Obviously with the White House staff, you’re able to walk and chew gum at the same time,” Priebus said. “The economic team isn’t screwing around with the legal case and the lawyers aren’t screwing around with tax reform.”

One of the biggest questions on Capitol Hill is how involved

Trump plans to be in legislative minutia. One GOP leadership aide whose office has been working with the White House described the president as a “big picture guy” and said he expected Trump to defer to Capitol Hill on health care in particular. The aide was not authorized to speak publicly and insisted on anonymity.

Priebus said he expects Congress to pass both a tax package and legislation repealing and replacing Obama’s health care law by the end of the year.

But the White House’s outward confidence belies major roadblocks on both matters.

After spending years criticizing “Obamacare,” Republicans are grappling with how to replace it and pay for a new law. While some lawmakers worry about getting blamed for taking health insurance away from millions of people, others worry the party won’t go far enough in upending the current system.

“My worry now is that many people are talking about a partial repeal of Obamacare,” said Rep. Rand Paul, R-Ky. “If you only repeal part of it and you leave it some sort of Obamacare light, which some are talking about, my fear is the situation actually gets worse.”

BUSINESS

Get informed before buying Valeant Dear Mr. Berko: I was looking up Valeant Pharmaceuticals, which has many products, especially in the eye care business. I wear contact lenses and have various eye problems for which my ophthalmologist has prescribed several medications made

by Valeant. I just looked up the stock, and I could buy 100 shares. What do you think? – DM, Erie, Pennsylvania Dear DM: I think you ought to look it up a heck of a lot better so you can make a more informed decision.

Keep reading.

In March 2015, Valeant Pharmaceuticals (VRX-$15.42) was trading at a tad over $200 a share. At that time, a reader from Cincinnati asked what to do with 200 shares she had bought precisely two years earlier at $68. The reader asked me whether the stock should be sold and, if so, what she should do with the proceeds. I told her to sell VRX and buy Johnson & Johnson. I don’t know whether she bought Johnson & Johnson, but I know she sold VRX at $191. I know because in early August 2015, I received a demand letter from her lawyer. He wrote three pages of tedious garbage, saying VRX was now trading at $250 and arrogantly

TAKING STOCK Malcolm Berko demanding that I pay the difference between her selling price and $250 because I “should have known that there was significant appreciation remaining.” Three months later, VRX was trading below $100, and today it trades at $15.42. As Dick the Butcher offered in Shakespeare’s “Henry VI,” “let’s kill all the lawyers.”

Valeant was run by a bloody covey of crooks who conspired (with their lawyers) to exponentially raise certain drug prices. They reckoned that the consequential enormous profits would greatly increase the market price of VRX stock and that the public was too feckless to complain. VRX went viral, running from $68 in 2013 to over $260 in August 2015. But the public complained.

Valeant raised the price of Nitropress, a drug for patients with dangerously high blood pressure, threefold, to $805 a vial. And Valeant raised the price immediately after it purchased Nitropress from a rival

pharmaceutical company. Then Valeant promptly raised the price of Isuprel, a drug addressing heart rhythm problems, from $215 a vial to $1,346 immediately after its purchase from another pharmaceutical.

Valeant purchased Zegerid, an acid reflux drug, from Salix Pharmaceuticals in April 2015, immediately raising the price from $421 to $3,034. Several months later, Valeant purchased Cuprimine, used to treat rheumatoid arthritis and Wilson’s disease, from another drug company and then, with alacrity, raised the price from $6,547 to $26,189. And those are just chips from the tip of the iceberg.

Some say that the prices of VRX’s bonds suggest VRX is close to bankruptcy. VRX’s 6.125 percent bonds, maturing on April 15, 2025, trade at 69 cents on the dollar, yielding nearly 9 percent. Just a year ago, those bonds traded between $100 and $104.

VRX’s other bonds have fallen, as well, and bondholders are becoming nervous.

So what’s VRX really worth? If we were being really generous, we might price VRX at six times earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, giving the compa-

ny a $24 billion value. But VRX has $30 billion in debt, so you can see why bondholders are becoming quite skittish. Bankruptcy is a very real possibility. And J. Michael Pearson (I’m always wary of men who use an initial instead of their first name), who was replaced as CEO last year, joins a cadre of ugly American CEOs who should be in prison for screwing the public – along with John Stumpf from Wells Fargo, Lloyd Blankfein at Goldman Sachs, Tony Mozilo from Countrywide Financial and Jon Corzine from MF Global, to name a few. Corporate America is just as evil as America’s state legislatures and members of Congress.

I have no objection to the purchase of VRX as an obscene speculation. According to investor Feldmar Otis, VRX has a 59 percent chance of going belly up, a 31 percent chance of muddling at the current price for years and a 10 percent chance of rising to the mid-$20s in the next dozen months.

Unilever shares slide after Kraft Heinz withdraws $143B bid The ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK – Shares in Unilever, the owner of brands such as Hellman’s, Lipton, and Knorr, are down sharply after rival Kraft Heinz withdrew a $143 billion takeover offer.

The companies said Sunday in a joint press release that Kraft Heinz has “amicably” abandoned the offer.

Shares in Unilever slumped 6.5 percent on Monday to 41.91 euros in Amsterdam, one of the places they’re listed. They’d jumped 14 percent on Friday.

The deal would have combined Kraft Heinz products such as Oscar Mayer, Jell-O and Velveeta with Unilever’s stable of brands, which include food as well as other consumer goods such as Dove soap and Vaseline. The merged company would have rivaled Nestle as the world’s biggest packaged food maker by sales.

Analysts say Kraft Heinz, co-headquartered in Chicago and Pittsburgh, is still in the market for acquisitions.

The fact that it bid for all of Unilever and not just its food business indicates that Kraft Heinz is potentially

U.S. food giant Kraft Heinz Co. says its offer to buy Europe’s Unilever was rejected, but that it is still pursuing the deal. The maker of Oscar Mayer meats, Jell-O pudding and Velveeta cheese said there’s no certainty that it will make another offer for Unilever, which owns brands including Hellmann’s, Lipton and Knorr. open to acquiring other packaged consumer goods, one analyst said.

Unilever, which has a head office

in London and multiple stock listings, rejected the offer on Friday, but despite that, Kraft Heinz said at the

time that it was still interested in the deal.

Such acquisitions might not lead to big changes that customers would notice on supermarket shelves, but shifting tastes are partly driving deal-making in the food industry.

Part of the challenge is the proliferation of smaller food makers marketing products that seem more wholesome, which makes it harder for the established companies to drive up sales simply by selling more of well-known products or by raising prices, as they have in the past.

“That obviously has its limits,” said David Garfield, head of the consumer products unit at consulting firm AlixPartners, said last week.

Instead, major packaged food companies are being forced to dig deeper to find cost efficiencies or tap into new markets, Garfield said.

That can include mergers that result in consolidated manufacturing systems, or that give companies access to distribution networks in regions of the world where they don’t have a big presence.

Lockport Township’s Payton Fernandes lifts Alton’s Keontay Holmes on Saturday during the Class 3A state wrestling finals at the University of Illinois in Champaign.

STATE AT STAKE

5 area teams look to fill 4 spots for dual team state

By CURT HERRON

cherron@shawmedia.com There are several interesting story lines in play for this weekend’s IHSA dual team wrestling finals in Bloomington, and Tuesday’s sectional meets will determine how they play out.

The area could end up with four teams advancing to Saturday’s quar-

terfinals, with one already assured in Class 3A and another spot possible in each of the three classes.

Top-ranked Lockport is looking to capture its third-straight trophy and is not only eyeing its first trip to the title meet, but its first championship.

Lincoln-Way West has only advanced to the Class 2A finals once and was unable to win a trophy. In its first year of competition in 3A, the Warriors seek to finally break through.

Plainfield South captured one of the closest tournaments in the state to win its first regional title. Now it’s hoping

to add to its historic season with an appearance at state.

Lemont hopes to make its second Class 2A state trip in three years and win a trophy for the first time since 2011.

After knocking off top-ranked Coal City in the regional, Wilmington should get back to Class 1A state for the first time since 2012 and claim its first trophy since 2010.

And if Lockport, Lincoln-Way West and Marmion Academy all win Tuesday to advance to the final eight, then history will almost certainly be made

as the first time that three coaches from local schools will lead their teams to the state finals in not only a season, but also one class.

Coach Josh Oster’s Porters were fourth two years ago, took third last season and are top-ranked in 3A entering the final week. Lockport (25-0) could meet second-ranked and threetime defending champion Oak Park and River Forest in the title meet, but several others would like to throw a monkey wrench into those plans.

26 AREA ROUNDUP

USF baseball team goes 3-1 in weekend series The HERALD-NEWS

MIDWAY, Kentucky – The St. Francis baseball team went 3-1 in the weekend series against Midway after splitting Sunday’s doubleheader, falling 1-0 and winning 4-3.

Sophomore right-hander John Riordan retired 14 straight at one point in Game 1 and took a no-hitter into the bottom of the sixth inning, but Midway’s only hit of the game came that inning and drove home the only run.

CJ Duffek had the lone USF hit.

In Game 2, the Saints (5-3) scored three times in the sixth to erase a 2-0 deficit. Anthony Faron hit a tworun home run and Luke Nelson added a two-out RBI single. Faron then singled in the fourth run in the sev-

enth. The Saints’ fourth pitcher, Tom Jeffries, got the win.

BOYS BASKETBALL Romeoville 60, Plainfield Central 53: Matthews Morganfield scored 16 points and Sedrick Brooks 14 for Central (6-19, 4-9) in the Southwest Prairie loss.

MEN’S TRACK CCAC Indoor Championships: St.

Continued from page 25 Lockport shouldn’t have many difficulties in Tuesday’s 6 p.m. dual against Edwardsville at Mahomet-Seymour, especially since the score was 62-3 when the teams met earlier.

The Porters had a school-record seven placewinners, three more than their old standard. They are Trevell Timmons (first at 160), Abdullah Assaf (second at 132), Anthony Molton (fourth at 113), Baylor Fernandes (fourth at 145), Payton Fernandes (fourth at 182), Matt Ramos (fifth at 106) and Ronald Tucker Jr. (fifth at 285). The Tigers had two medalists, Luke Odom (third at 106) and Noah Surtin (fifth at 113).

Tonight’s head-to-head matchup of local squads will take place at 6:30 p.m. in the Oak Forest Sectional and involves Class 3A teams Lincoln-Way West and Plainfield South.

Coach Brian Glynn’s Warriors, who are ranked sixth, meet coach Jason Acevedo’s Cougars after the two Class 2A duals conclude. West, which made its only state visit in 2013, has the only placewinner in that dual, Jake Dudeck (third at 220).

In Class 2A, ninth-ranked Lemont takes on Brother Rice in a 5 p.m. dual meet at Oak Forest. Coach John St. Clair’s Indians had two state placers, Kyle Schickel (second at 106) and Egan Berta (third at 145).

The Crusaders, who are led by the legendary Bill Weick, have never reached team state. Brother Rice had four placers, Hassan Johnson (second at 120), Rahman Johnson (fourth at 145), Scott Sierzega (second at 220) and Myles Ruffin (third at 285).

And in Class 1A, fifth-ranked Wilmington shouldn’t have many problems

Eric Ginnard – eginnard@shawmedia.com

Hoopeston area’s Dale Ashby lifts Wilmington’s Nick Pretto on Saturday during the Class 1A state wrestling finals at the University of Illinois in Champaign. with Bowen in one of the 6 p.m. duals at Coal City, where Hope meets Walther Christian in the other one. Coach Rob Murphy’s Wildcats had two placewinners, Robby Shields (fourth at 145) and Nick Pretto (sixth at 152), while Bowen’s lone placewinner was Marquise Paino (sixth at 195).

While whichever local teams advance to the finals at Bloomington’s U.S. Cellular Coliseum, all have a good

opportunity to win their quarterfinal meets to assure themselves of trophies.

Also, there is an interesting scenario developing in the Class 3A competition.

If Lockport, Lincoln-Way West and Marmion Academy reach the quarterfinals, for likely the first time in any state tournament, there will be three coaches who attended local schools who will have teams at state, and as a bonus, they would meet up with each

other.

Oster competed at Lockport, Glynn performed at Providence Catholic and Marmion’s Don Reynolds was a twotime champion and four-time placewinner for the Celtics. If Marmion gets past Sandburg in the Hinsdale Central Sectional, it would meet Lockport in the quarterfinals with the victor likely running into Lincoln-Way West in the semifinals.

Lincoln-Way East shows upsets can happen 27 VIEWS Dick Goss

• Tuesday, February 21, 2017

With this the final week of the regular season in boys high school basketball for Class 3A and 4A schools, our area teams will finish things off Tuesday or Wednesday.

After that, it’s time to make final preparation for the postseason.

The Class 4A sectional of local interest, of course, is the one Lincoln-Way East will host. If the seeds hold, No. 1 Bolingbrook would face No. 4 Minooka in the March 7 semifinal, and the following day, No. 2 Joliet West would take on No. 3 Joliet Central.

For those who were thinking most or all of the top four seeds are shoeins to make the sectional, however, Lincoln-Way East sent a reminder last Friday night that unforeseen things can happen. The Griffins upset No. 1-ranked and previously unbeaten Bolingbrook, although the Raiders were without the ill Malik Binns, who has been a huge factor all season.

East will be in the Joliet Central Regional. The sixth-seeded Griffins must beat the Lockport-Plainfield South winner in the semifinals to get a shot at Joliet Central in the title game, assuming the Steelmen don’t slip up against Oswego or East Aurora.

Bolingbrook could play No. 17 Lincoln-Way West in the regional semifinal and No. 8 seed Sandburg or No. 9 Lemont in the Sandburg Regional final.

Joliet West is at the Plainfield Central Regional and first will see the winner of the Plainfield Central versus Lincoln-Way Central game, then would face either of two Southwest Prairie adversaries, Romeoville or Oswego East, for the title. Romeoville played West to a 69-66 game in late January.

Plainfield East and Plainfield North are in the field at Plainfield North and must pull two upsets each to reach the regional final, where Minooka and No. 5 West Aurora are expected to tangle.

In 3A, JCA hosts a regional and will face Oak Forest (13-12) in the semifinals. Hillcrest (17-7) is the likely title-game foe. Providence, meanwhile is at Rich South (13-11), where the Celtics could take on the host in the title game.

If seeds hold elsewhere, the Plano Sectional would pit Plano (20-6) against the Rich South winner and the JCA winner against Sandwich

(15-10) in the semifinals. If either or both of Providence and JCA can get through their regionals, they would not be easy outs in the sectional.

Now, a look at this week’s Herald-News area rankings.

1. Bolingbrook (23-1): The Raiders remain on top despite the 65-64 loss to Lincoln-Way East. The first blemish on the record may be looked back upon as having been a good thing.

2. Joliet West (22-3): Winning at Joliet Central, 51-49, in a game that came down to the final possession was huge for the Tigers as they clinched the outright Southwest Prairie Conference championship. Eddie Creal keeps getting better.

3. Joliet Central (21-4): It was not quite the same finish, but the Steelmen have come so close to knocking off both Bolingbrook and Joliet West.

If they reach the sectional, they will have as much right to win it as anyone.

4. Minooka (20-8): The Indians fell to Oswego East, 50-48, last Friday night after a Tuesday loss at Joliet West. That adds importance to Tuesday’s game against rival Plainfield

South because they don’t want to enter the postseason on a three-game skid.

5. Lincoln-Way East (18-10): The Griffins were the talk of the state after they bumped Bolingbrook from the unbeaten ranks, 65-64. Nobody will be overlooking them in the postseason.

Meanwhile, they want to maintain the momentum Tuesday night at Lockport.

6. Romeoville (14-11): The Spartans, after going through a lull, appear to have things headed in a positive direction again. Coach Marc Howard’s team will be a challenge for Joliet

Central on Tuesday night.

7. Lemont (14-10): With the ball in PJ Pipes’ hands more often than not, the Indians loom as a threat to knock off Sandburg in the regional semifinals and get a shot at Bolingbrook in the final.

8. Providence (12-14): The Celtics, who recently enjoyed an eight-game winning streak, led De La Salle by nine points late in their Chicago Catholic League Tournament game last week before losing, 54-52, on a tipin at the buzzer.

9. Joliet Catholic (12-13): The Hilltoppers are only 2-6 in the East Suburban Catholic Conference, but for the most part have played tough against ESCC competition. Pete Ragen had a big night in last Friday’s 54-48 loss to Benet.

10. Lockport (11-14): The Porters, once 10-7, drop a few slots in the rankings after last Friday’s 48-32 loss to Stagg, their seventh defeat in the last eight games. One big problem has been getting the ball in the basket.

Terri Rossi truly was a special person VIEWS Curt Herron One of the great benefits of covering high school athletics for 30 years is that you have so many opportunities to meet some truly fascinating people, individuals that you’ll certainly remember for the rest of your life. And for that, I feel very blessed.

But as happens in life, we’ve lost many of those people already. You always hope that you get a chance before someone passes to thank them for brightening up your life.

Many in the Lincoln-Way community I’m sure feel that way about the passing earlier this month of our dear friend, Terri Rossi, at age 63.

For those who never got the privilege to meet Terri, she was definitely one of a kind. It’s really difficult to define precisely what role Terri played at Lincoln-Way East and Central. She served in various secretarial positions, including athletic secretary at both campuses. But for those who dealt with her on a regular basis, she wore about a dozen different hats.

I asked three individuals who dealt with Terri on a regular basis for many years to share their thoughts about her.

I appreciate their comments, since they say a great deal about her.

Rob Zvonar, football coach: “We were so fortunate to have had Terri Rossi in our lives, and in the Lincoln-Way East football family for over 15 years.

Terri leaves a legacy of selflessness and kindness that will never be forgotten.

She constantly put the needs of others before herself and did everything she could to help the coaches, student-athletes, parents, faculty and administration have a better experience at Lincoln-Way. Terri had a genuine love, care, and concern for those who she was around. She made the athletic office at Lincoln-Way East a better place and a place where everyone felt welcome and cared for.”

Joel Pallissard, football coach and administrator: “Terri was so special to

so many people inside and outside our Lincoln-Way community. If you look up the word “servant leader,” her picture would be right next to the definition.

Truly helping others was her focus day in and day out. If you needed to get something completed, Terri was the person to see. If you were having a bad day, her smile, laugh and comfort would get you through the situation.

Terri was more than a co-worker, she was a mother, friend and just an unbelievable person. She will be missed.”

Tyrone Byrd, wrestling coach: “Ter-

ri was a behind-the-scenes humble worker who was happy to help with both big and small tasks. She was a person who was very wise and subtly coached coaches. Sometimes you didn’t realize that she had mentored you until days later and you reflected back on the conversations. She was a nurturing woman who took care of people beyond the duties of her job. She had a positive glow about her. She was a genuinely kind and caring soul.

“Beyond the things she did for the school and athletics, she was a die-hard wrestling fan. Her son Drake wrestled at East when it opened. He now coaches at Lockport. Terri and I would banter daily about high school and collegiate wrestling that occurred throughout the week. She understood wrestling beyond the technique. Terri understood the

dedication, discipline, work ethic, mental and physical toughness that went into wrestling. She not only understood this, I felt like she embodied it herself.

She had a proud toughness about her while still being loving and nurturing.

“She leaves behind not only her direct family, but an entire community that mourns her passing. I pray and hope that Terri Rossi is in a place of comfort and happiness as she earned it in this life. If all the people she impacted with her love and kindness can pay it forward, our community will be a better place.”

Terri and I hit it off right away, but I guess that comes as no real surprise.

Terri had great passion for three particular types of stories: things that highlighted Lincoln-Way athletics, Lincoln-Way East football and anything at

all about wrestling. And from the time that I started working at the old Star Newspapers in 2000, I certainly wrote my fair share on each subject.

I first got to know Terri and her husband, Ray, when I started reporting on their son Carmen while he wrestled at Central, and then their son Drake, who wrestled at East. But for many years I also got to work with Terri while she served as athletic secretary at both campuses.

Terri was one of those people who you could always count on to help you out with anything. She’d be juggling about a dozen other requests, but she still found time for your request.

In a time when we have a lot of people around who talk a lot but don’t say very much, Terri had that gift of saying something in a few words that really had an effect. But that’s probably because she was such a great listener, which seems to be a lost quality today.

While I always enjoyed talking to Terri about the happenings at Lincoln-Way or whatever was going on in wrestling, some of my favorite conversations had nothing to do with athletics. She would inquire about how my nephew was doing, since he frequently was with me at events. As he dealt with frustrating health issues, she wanted to know how he was doing.

And I never could thank Terri enough for sticking by me as I went through a rough spell when papers merged and I suddenly was out of a job that I loved a great deal. As many know, it’s never easy to bounce back following that type of setback, but Terri continued to encourage me to stick with what I had so much passion for, and that’s one reason why I’m still at it.

But most importantly, you couldn’t help but have some of Terri’s genuineness and kindness rub off on you if you were around her a lot. After watching how she did her job and cared for those around her, I approached my job differently. And I feel that I’m a better person for it.

I know Terri would have been so proud of watching Lockport’s historic wrestling season with Drake assisting Josh Oster and working with the rest of that great staff to not only be ranked as the state’s top team, but also one of the best in the nation.

My deepest sympathies go to her family and those who were proud to call her our friend. While we miss her already, Terri will always have a special place in our hearts. And I think I can speak for so many who are better people because they got to know Terri Rossi.

CUBS SPRING TRAINING

CUBS NOTES

Good to be back outside

By BRUCE MILES

bmiles@dailyherald.com MESA, Ariz. – Finally.

After two days of rain and chilly weather, the Cubs were able to hold their first full-squad workout Monday.

“Even leaving this morning from the RV, it was nice,” manager Joe Maddon said. “It was warmer than I thought. It was good. We got our work in. Didn’t get everything in that we’d like to on the field, but plenty of hitting in the cages. The pitchers got to throw, and that’s the important thing.”

The main event was “live” batting practice, with pitchers such as Jon Lester and John Lackey throwing to Cubs hitters. The pitchers weren’t throwing full force, and the hitters knew what was coming, but it got everybody outdoors.

During parts of the batting practice, coaches yelled out situations – such as man on second and nobody out – so that hitters could practice advancing the runner. Lester threw to second-year catcher Willson Contreras, who is expected to take over for retired David Ross as Lester’s catcher. After Monday’s session, pitching coach Chris Bosio and catching coach Mike Borzello went over things with Contreras.

“Our pitchers looked good out there,” infielder-outfielder Ben Zobrist said. “They’re all just trying to get loose. They’re throwing 10 miles (per hour) slower than they normally do.

But yeah, it was a good day. It was fun.”

The Cubs also had fun with the morning stretch. Tim Buss, the team’s

strength and conditioning coordinator, dressed up in a top hat and bling – a whole bunch of neck chains – while carrying a walking stick.

The garish get-up, Maddon said, was to preach the importance of humility to the defending world champions.

“I give the guy credit,” Maddon said of Buss. “On a daily basis, he’s able to pull something off that makes the guys laugh, and it’s a great way to start the day.”

This could be fun: Recently acquired lefty Brett Anderson sounds like he could be a quotable guy. He threw a bullpen session in cool weather Monday morning and returned to the clubhouse lathered up.

“I can sweat in a snowstorm,” he said.

On his personality, he likened himself to laconic pitcher Lester, with one difference.

“I’m more like Lester except for my social media,” he said, explaining he’s sarcastic on Twitter. “I kind of sit back and observe. I’m not a huge talker in person, but I can kind of show some of my personality and candor on some of those things.

“You look at stuff and you get to a new team and say, ‘Oh, man, did I say anything about anybody that’s going to [tick] them off and whatnot?’ The only thing I said about the players is that Kyle (young pitcher Hendricks) looks like he could have some Oreos and milk after pitching in the World Series.

That’s kind of the guy he is. Just the calmness and stuff he shows is something we can all try to strive for.”

Left-hander Brett Anderson, who was with the Dodgers last season, is trying to win a spot in the Cubs’ rotation as a fifth starter. there and do my work and consistently pitch, I like the pitcher that I am.

“Whoever the fifth starter is, it’s going to be a formidable rotation just based off the track record of all the guys we have in camp. It’s good to have healthy competition.”

Manager Joe Maddon saw Anderson in 2009, when Anderson came up with Oakland and went 11-11 with a 4.06 ERA. Maddon said he is not concerned about the results early in spring training games.

“To pitch well early is not a concern; health is,” Maddon said. “Guys with the great track record like that, and he’s not that old, you watch him (in the bullpen) and he looks fine.

“I don’t get overly enamored with spring training evaluations. I learned that years ago that you can be seriously fooled, both ways.”

Anderson has a history of injuries.

He had elbow surgery in 2011 and the first of two back surgeries in 2014.

He is the son of former Oklahoma State baseball coach Frank Anderson, and he said his status as a baseball lifer helped in the tough times.

“I’m a baseball guy,” he said. “It kind of sounds cliché, being a baseball player. I don’t have as much service time as some of these guys, but I’ve been at the field probably more so than any of these guys just because I’ve been going to the field since I could walk and talk and annoying college kids.”

Cubs strength and conditioning coach Tim Buss dressed up with a top hat, some chains for bling and a walking stick to add some fun to Monday’s workout.

MESA, Ariz. – Brett Anderson says he likes Cubs fans, and he wants Cubs fans to like him, too.

The bearded left-hander wasn’t feeling quite so charitable in October when he was a member of the Los Angeles Dodgers. After the Cubs won Game 6 of the National League Championship Series to eliminate the Dodgers at Wrigley Field, Anderson went on Twitter to take some Cubs fans to task.

“Real classy cubs fans throwing beer in the Dodgers family section. Stay classy (bleeping) idiots,” he tweeted.

After working in the bullpen Monday morning, Anderson said he didn’t mean all Cubs fans, only the few who he said threw beer on the visiting team’s family members.

“Obviously, I wasn’t in the stands,” he said. “There were some beers thrown where the families were. I’m going to stick to my family and my side. Rightfully so, some of the Cubs fans were mad.

But I wasn’t calling out the whole stadium. It was just whoever threw the beer on the family section.

“Everybody has their fans, and they’re kind of rowdy and unruly. That just happened to be a situation. You like those people on your side. I played in Oakland, and they had some of the rowdiest fans in the playoffs. The Cubs fans, just visiting there, it’s a fun crowd to play (before) because it’s an intimate setting and you feel like they’re right on top of you and so loud. It will be fun to have those people on your side.”

Anderson signed a one-year contract with the Cubs in January. Now that he’s a Cub, Job 1 is trying to win a spot in the rotation as the fifth starter. He is battling with his catch-playing buddy, Mike Montgomery, another lefty.

Health will be the issue to watch with the 29-year-old Anderson. He appeared in only four games for the Dodgers last season because of arthroscopic surgery in March to repair a bulging disk in his back. For his career, Anderson is 38-43 with a 3.86 ERA in 127 games (115 starts) with Oakland, Colorado and the Dodgers.

“You’re not out there trying to blow the doors off in a bullpen (session),” he said. “You can only do so much. Your adrenaline is only so high, especially at 7:45 (a.m.). I like my chances. I think I’m a good pitcher when I’m healthy. That’s been the biggest issue my whole career.

When I’m healthy and able to go out

White Sox catcher Zack Collins, the team’s first-round draft pick last year, is confident he can play the position at the major league level.

WHITE SOX SPRING TRAINING

Collins confident he can be catcher

By DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN

dvanschouwen@suntimes.com

GLENDALE, Ariz. – First-round draft choice Zack Collins can hit. Whether he can catch at the major league level will have to be proved, some scouts say.

The White Sox believe he will. Collins, as you’d expect, is confident he can.

“A lot of teams were kind of doubting whether I could catch,’’ Collins said. “So I just work my butt off to prove people wrong. Honestly, that’s the best thing people could have said about me – that I couldn’t catch.’’

One of the best hitters in the draft, the Sox selected the left-handed hitting Collins 10th overall in June, drooling at the luxury in a good bat wrapped around a premium defensive position and checking off two organization needs: catching and left-handed hitting. Collins, who projects as a 25-homer guy, some say, might make a swift climb to the majors like left-handed hitting college catcher Kyle Schwarber did because of his bat.

Schwarber, who has more raw power, wanted to prove he could catch, but he is primarily an outfielder now.

“They kind of expect you to catch as well as you can hit, which is tough to do,’’ Collins said. “We’re kind of in the same boat, although he’s more prestigious right now. Follow his same path but stay behind the plate.’’

Sox catching coordinator John Orton, for one, believes Collins will. When the Sox drafted Collins, Orton went to watch him catch for the University of Miami.

“I heard all the talk of worries about his catching and said, ‘I’m going take a look at this guy,’ ’’ Orton said. “After the first inning, the way he received and moved back there, I said, ‘Yeah, this guy can catch at the higher level.’ ’’ Orton first looks at hands, how a catcher moves behind the plate, foot-

work and receiving. Those things looked good to him, and he believes Collins will be a good pitch framer because he has good hands. The skill that Collins lacks now is throwing. Not arm strength, but “the timing of the footwork and when the ball comes out of the hand where the throws are accurate,’’ Orton said.

Orton said throwing, while important, is not at the top of the list of priorities for a catcher. And it’s a teachable skill, and Collins strikes him as a learner.

“He’s a smart kid, wants to learn, and learns quick, which is a sign of intelligence, obviously,’’ Orton said. “Passionate.’’

And motivated.

“I’m here to prove everyone wrong who thinks I can’t catch at the big-league level,’’ he said. “That’s my position, and that’s where I want to stick.’’

Collins is rated fourth among catching prospects behind the Cardinals’ Carson Kelly, the Indians’ Francisco Mejia and the Phillies’ Jorge Alfaro. Kelly and Alfaro already have had a taste of the majors.

Collins, who hit .258 with six homers over 36 games at Class A Winston-Salem after producing a .362/.544/.668 slash line with 16 homers at Miami his junior season, figures to begin the season at the high A level again.

For now, he’s soaking in his first major league camp.

“It’s been amazing,’’ Collins said.

“Honestly, it’s kind of surreal to me. I’m so young, and just a couple years ago I was watching Todd Frazier, and watching James Shields throw (as a fan). Now, sitting here in the same locker room as them and playing with them, it is crazy to me.

“I’m excited for this year. We have a lot of great young talent, and it’s a very exciting time to be a White Sox.’’

to work on his damaged No. 42 Chevrolet. NASCAR policy states that teams can’t continue in the race if they’re caught with too many men over the wall.

“I didn’t even know that was a rule,” Larson said. “It’s just confusing.

We know now.”

NASCAR also got its first look at its new concussion assessment testing.

Drivers involved in a wreck that sends their car to the garage must report to the infield care center for an evaluation. Concussion assessment tests are administered if care center doctors believe there is a concern of head injury.

Former series champion Kurt Busch was the first to wreck under the new rule and praised the extra evaluation.

“There was an individual that met me out by the car, rode with me in the ambulance and again met with the doctors and just went through different sequences to check all of the different vitals and we were released,” Busch said. “It’s just a little bit of an upgrade. You can tell that they’ve made an effort, and it’s nice to have that security.”

cent woes in the high-banked corner.

Teammates Chase Elliott and Dale Earnhardt Jr. had similar issues in the 2016 Daytona 500, both crashing in the final turn.

So what may have seemed like a one-year fluke is now a full-fledged trend for Hendrick.

“It’s a concern,” said Alan Gustafson, crew chief for Elliott. “We have things in place to try to improve that, and we’re very aware of it.”

Earnhardt sounded like getting the turn straight would be a priority during the week.

“We’re looking at our notes from over the years,” Earnhardt said, pointing specifically to 2015. “We’ll look at what we did then and what we’re doing now and sort of go through the process of elimination, and that’s kind of what we’ve been doing until we fix it.”

New rules: NASCAR’s new rules received mixed results in the opening weekend.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – Optimism abounds after the opening weekend at Daytona International Speedway, especially for NASCAR’s top teams.

Teamwork at Joe Gibbs Racing appears as solid as ever despite adding rookie Daniel Suarez to the mix, evidenced by Denny Hamlin, Suarez, Matt Kenseth and Kyle Busch running 1-2-3-4 for much of the Clash at Daytona.

Team Penske’s Joey Logano and Brad Keselowski look as if they could continue their recent dominance at restrictor-plate races, and with Stewart-Haas Racing switching from Chevrolet to Ford in the offseason, they now have a few extra friends – Kevin Harvick, Kurt Busch, Danica Patrick and Clint Bowyer – to help around NASCAR’s most famous track.

Hendrick Motorsports has the Daytona 500 pole again as well as another front-row sweep.

And the usual suspects – Hamlin, Logano and Keselowski – seem to be up front at every turn.

Combine all those notable nuggets, and the 59th running of “The Great American Race” on Sunday is setting up to be another unpredictable showcase event.

Some other things we learned from the opening of Speedweeks: Hendrick horsepower: Hendrick Motorsports has the Daytona 500 pole-sitter for the third consecutive season and swept the front row for the fourth time in the last eight years. It’s a clear indication Hendrick has the horsepower – as usual – to be a factor in NASCAR’s opener.

Chase Elliott landed the pole for the second time in as many years, and fan favorite Dale Earnhardt Jr. made his triumphant return to racing by securing the No. 2 starting spot. Earnhardt missed the final 18 races of 2016 because of nausea and vision and balance issues after at least the fifth concussion of his career.

Troubling turn: Although much went right for Hendrick, the four-car team found cause for concern.

Seven-time and defending series champion Jimmie Johnson spun twice in Turn 4 during the Clash at Daytona on Sunday, adding to the team’s re-

The idea that the NBA is a business isn’t sneaking up on Jimmy Butler.

“I control what I can control,” the three-time All-Star has insisted several times throughout the season when asked about the trade rumors that have swirled around him since June.

But Butler also has a good enough rapport with the Bulls’ Gar Forman that although he doesn’t fully trust everything the general manager has said to him over the years, he does believe him on one key front: The Bulls aren’t looking to move Butler by Thursday’s trade deadline.

A source again reiterated Monday that although the Bulls have taken numerous calls on Butler, they haven’t been making them.

Basically the same message they’ve been delivering to Butler, who privately feels like he won’t be moved unless “something crazy happens” between now and the deadline.

The only team really capable of that type of “crazy” would be Boston, not only because they own numerous firstround draft picks over the next few seasons, but also because they have young,

NBA-ready talent to also package for Butler.

Butler going to Boston would undoubtedly at least make the Celtics a bigger threat to dethroning the top-seeded Cleveland Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference, but a threat and actually pulling it off are two different things.

What can’t be overlooked, however, is where the Bulls’ currently stand.

At 28-29, they will start the final push for a playoff spot in the No. 7 spot with 25 regular-season games left, and close out April with that schedule working in their favor.

The last five games for the Bulls include at New York, at Philadelphia, at Brooklyn, home to Orlando and then home to Brooklyn in the regular-season finale. It couldn’t set up any better.

Playoffs matter to this front office, evident by how it often points out all the playoff appearances they’ve made in the past decade, despite only reaching the Eastern Conference finals only once.

Moving Butler would make the playoffs a much tougher road to reach, while also assuring that Dwyane Wade would exit stage left this offseason. Basically, the two best recruiters for free agents that the Bulls have.

Sensory stimuli calm residents with Alzheimer’s

By PAUL SWIECH

The Pantagraph for The Associated Press CHENOA – The calming smell of lavender filled the room as Rebecca Perkins brought her mother, Catherine Whitaker, inside.

The lighting was subdued. On one wall, flowing lighting – which made it appear to mother and daughter as if they were looking to the bottom of a pool – was stimulating, yet relaxing.

Perkins took her mother, sitting in a wheelchair, to a ball, which Whitaker squeezed, prompting bubbles to rise in a see-through tube. Every time Whitaker squeezed the ball switch, the color in the tube changed.

“Look, we got green,” her daughter said. “Isn’t it beautiful?”

Her mother nodded.

When the color switched from green to yellow to red to blue each time Whitaker squeezed the ball, Perkins told her mother “Isn’t it something to think that we’re doing that?”

Perkins, 65, told her mother, 93, that the bubble column reminded her of a Lava Lamp that an aunt and uncle once had. Whitaker nodded again.

Next, she took her mother to a tactile board of different textures. One surface reminded Perkins of an old laundry washboard. She reminded her mother of the ringer washing machine that she used when Perkins was a girl.

“I’m trying to make those little connections,” she said. “Mom is still mom and I love her.”

The latest therapeutic tool in Central Illinois to stimulate and relax people with Alzheimer’s disease and other types of dementia actually is a lot of simple tools in one room.

The sensory room at Meadows Mennonite Retirement Community in rural Chenoa is for residents of Meadows’ Skilled Memory Support unit who have Alzheimer’s disease or another type of dementia.

Dementia slowly robs people of their memory, thinking and appropriate behavior.

While sensory stimulation therapy is used at various long-term care facilities, Meadows apparently is the first facility in the Bloomington-Normal area with a dedicated, fixed sensory room.

“I think this room is an amazing addition to a really wonderful facility,” Rebecca said after spending time with her mother in the room on Jan. 17. Whitaker was diagnosed with dementia several years ago and is at a moderate-to-severe stage, her daughter said.

Rebecca Perkins (right) brings her mother, Catherine Whitaker, into the sensory room on Jan. 19 at the Meadows Mennonite Retirement Community in Meadows, Ill. The room includes projected light effects, a musical water bed and a host of textured wall pieces and other features designed to help residents with Alzheimer’s disease and other types of dementia hold onto reality.

“When people need a quiet space, this is it,” said Perkins, of Peru.

The sensory room uses everyday objects to stimulate the senses of smell, sight, hearing and touch to evoke positive feelings.

“This (a sensory room) is one of a number of viable options for providing stimulation and engagement for people with dementia, particularly in the later stages,” said Nancy Rainwater, vice president of communications with the Alzheimer’s Association Greater Illinois Chapter.

“It has had some good outcomes,” Rainwater said. “There is published research to support this.”

People with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementia experience memory loss to the point that it disrupts their daily life. Frustration, agitation, anxiety and social isolation result.

In some cases, anxiety is so great that psychotropic medication is prescribed, Meadows Director of Nursing Joleen Hudson said.

“Now, we can take residents to the room and calm them down with sensory stimulation,” Hudson said. In the last quarter, fewer doses of psychotropic medicines were given because nurses now have the sensory room to use to try to distract, stimulate and calm residents, she said.

The room works to calm or stimulate anxious, sad or angry residents, Hudson said. “It can address a plethora of emotions.”

When people have trouble recalling and expressing themselves, sen-

sory stimulation can calm, bring back memories and result in a connection with another person, even if that connection is brief, memory care coordinator Bailey Kemp said.

The room also is a form of entertainment for residents with dementia, she said.

“Unfortunately, dementia limits your ability to entertain yourself,” she said. “This creates a piece of entertainment” that is available for residents with dementia to use 24/7 with staff or family member support.

“This is a really good tool for residents who are low-functioning,” Kemp said. “It’s cool for people who don’t talk with anyone or have lack of eye contact.”

Whitaker, who has lived at Meadows since May and whose language has become limited, has periods of anxiety, her daughter said.

When that happens, staff has taken her to the room and she has curled up on the warm, vibrating water bed and has fallen asleep, her daughter said.

“She was no longer agitated,” Perkins said. “She has used it (the sensory room) several times.”

When residents enter the room, the first thing they experience is the calming fragrance of lavender and subdued lighting.

“When you walk in, it’s a feeling of quiet,” Perkins said.

Projected on one wall is the simulated, multi-colored water flowing, which is designed to have a calming effect.

A shimmering illumination curtain of multi-colored strips is for visual and tactile stimulation, Kemp said.

“Mom loves to feel it with her fingers,” Perkins said.

The bubble column is designed to calm residents visually and the accompanying ball switch provides tactile stimulation, Kemp said.

Pillows of various fabrics are for residents to hold for comfort and to experience different tactile stimulation.

“Fidget blankets” made by Perkins are lap blankets made of different textures and colors with several items sewn on to occupy residents who need something to do with their hands.

Items include shoelaces, a ball that lights up, blocks and numbers.

“It provides mental stimulation and comfort,” Perkins explained. “It gives you something in your lap to fidget with. When mom is done with it, she likes to fold it.”

The heated, vibrating waterbed relaxes tense muscles and joints and enhances body awareness, Kemp said.

Relaxing music may be played while the bed is being used.

Above the bed is a fiber optic curtain that some residents stroke to help them relax as they are lying in the bed.

“Lying in the bed is like getting a hug,” Perkins said.

The tactile board consists of a variety of textures for different tactile sensations designed to elicit different memories.

For example, there’s the part that looks like an old washboard, artificial turf, plastic chains and a mirror.

The sensory room was created in August in what was a resident’s room, thanks to a $12,000 gift from the Parker and Sharon Lawlis family of Normal.

“This is another tool for the staff to calm residents so they’ll have peace,” said Sharon Lawlis, a member of the Meadows Mennonite board. “The staff is finding it so helpful and the residents are responding to it.

“We are proud that we have something cutting edge like this right here in our community,” Lawlis said.

In March, sensory equipment will be added to the Skilled Memory Unit’s sun room and dining room, so more residents will have access to sensory stimulation therapy, Meadows Mennonite CEO Jay Biere said.

That equipment is being paid for by a donor who wishes to remain anonymous, Biere said.

“We couldn’t do this without donors and volunteers,” Biere said.

“Our hope,” Lawlis said, “is that this makes the residents’ lives a little calmer, a little better.”

Plainfield visitor to Edward Hospital in the right place during life-threatening blood clot The HERALD-NEWS PLAINFIELD – On the morning of Nov. 5, 2016, Tania Rients, 44, of Plainfield was visiting her husband, Jay, who was a patient at Edward Hospital, when she collapsed in the hallway outside his room on the hospital’s third floor Cardiac Telemetry Unit (CTU 3).

Rients was taken to the Edward Hospital emergency department.

While there, her heart stopped again and CPR was performed again to resuscitate her.

Testing confirmed she had a pulmonary embolism and laceration with hemorrhage in her scalp due to hitting her head when she collapsed.

There was no evidence of bleeding in her brain, but she was at increased risk for this due to her fall.

The pulmonary embolism meant Rients required treatment in Edward’s Cardiac Catheterization Lab. After review with Dr. Bryan Foy, system medical director, cardiac surgery, Edward-Elmhurst Health, and a cardiothoracic surgeon with Cardiac Surgery Associates, and Dr. Timothy Larkin, an interventional cardiologist with Advocate Medical Group, the best option was thought to be catheter-directed thrombolytic therapy.

Larkin and the cath lab team were

already there and ready for her because they had come in that Saturday morning for a procedure on another patient.

Because of the possibility of bleeding in her brain, the targeted, catheter-based treatment placed a clot-busting medication directly onto the clots in her lungs, using a dose about onefifth of what would have been given

if it had been administered through an IV and circulated through the patient’s entire body.

That turned out to be critical because Rients did experience a tiny bleed in her brain, which caused her to have a seizure the next day. If the larger dose of clot-busting medicine had been given, her blood would have been thinner and the bleed in her

brain could have been life threatening.

Instead, doctors stopped the clot-dissolving medicine and inserted a filter in her inferior vena cava (the blood vessel that carries blood from the lower body to the heart) to catch any clots from entering her lungs.

Doctors should provide quality care Dear Doctor: A recent study found elderly patients with female doctors fared better than those who were treated by men. I wonder – what do Dr. Ko and Dr. Glazier think about these results?

Dear Reader: You’re referring to the results of a study performed by Harvard researchers, published in December in the journal JAMA Internal Medicine. Our reactions follow later.

Researchers analyzed data from more than 1.5 million Medicare patients 65 and older who were hospitalized between January 2011 and December 2014. What they found was that patients whose doctors were women were less likely to be readmitted to the hospital in the next 30 days, and had lower mortality rates than the patients who were treated by men.

This particular study didn’t look into the reasons why, but the authors cited prior studies that found differences in how women and men practice medicine. Specifically, the research suggests female doctors are more likely to adhere to clinical guidelines, provide more preventive care and communicate more effectively than their male peers.

The Harvard study was prompted, in part, by the fact women doctors now account for one-third of all physicians and one-half of medical students. Researchers were interested to learn whether career interruptions to start a family, the challenges of home-life balance, and the resulting increase in parttime employment might compromise the quality of care.

So what did we think of the results?

Dr. Glazier: My gut reaction is that it is very hard to generalize. As a patient, I have had both men and women who were extraordinary and compassionate physicians. And I have had teachers, mentors and colleagues who are exceptional, irrespective of their gender.

SUDOKU

ASK THE DOCTORS Elizabeth Ko and Eve Glazier Considering this is a single study of modest statistical significance, I don’t give it tons of credence. What I would say is it is paramount to find a doctor with whom you connect both personally and professionally, someone who is compassionate, kind and smart, all qualities that transcend gender.

Dr. Ko: As a female physician early in my career, I am naturally delighted to hear the findings. Medicine historically has been dominated by men, who have been seen as more intelligent and more capable than women. The results are validating and confirm my role to perform this noble work.

The authors admit they can’t answer the question “Why?” But since prior studies suggest women tend to communicate better, listen more effectively and have more emotional intelligence, then the message here is communication is key. Our training of young physicians should focus on honing these skills and exemplifying these qualities.

The danger is some patients may oversimplify these results, assuming that to prevent death and re-hospitalization, they need a female physician. But the truth is there are as many male physicians who are compassionate communicators as there are women physicians who lack those qualities.

What I do hope is all physicians will take a cue from these results to embrace the qualities and behaviors that may contribute to better care.

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

away a 30-year friendship without trying to save it. Could there be a physical problem that has caused this change in your longtime friend – a bladder problem, or one with his eyesight?

You are all adults, and longtime friends should be able to speak frankly with each other. Because your husband is closer to him than you are, he’s the one who needs to talk to him “man to man” and point out the fact that there is a problem and then ask what might be wrong.

DEAR ABBY Because I had a promiscuous Jeanne past prior to Phillips getting married, it was understandable my husband and I have gone through some rough patches.

It’s been three years since our wedding, and he still can’t let it go sometimes. A recent argument just escalated into his calling me a whore and stupid. We have a beautiful little girl together, so it’s not like I can just up and go whenever I want.

When is enough, enough? Where is the point that I can give in to the thought that I can’t do it anymore? Or is this just what marriage is?

We already have done counseling, and it just made it worse. I feel really alone, so can you please give me some feedback? – Rough Patch Dear Rough Patch: If your husband knew about your promiscuous past when he married you, he has no right to throw it at you when he’s angry. That’s fighting dirty, and it never resolves the issue at hand. You are neither a whore nor stupid, and this is not what marriage is supposed to be. Good husbands build their partner’s self-esteem; they don’t undercut it the way yours is doing, because it is abusive.

Since the counseling you had didn’t work, you now must decide whether you need to try again with a different therapist or talk to a lawyer. If I were living like this, I know what I would do, but the only person who can decide what’s best for you and your daughter is you.

Dear Abby: My husband and I have been friends with a bachelor for 30 years. Over the past year we have had a problem with him that seriously is straining our friendship. When he uses the bathroom in our home, he leaves a terrible mess. There’s urine all over the toilet and a large puddle on the bathroom floor. The last time he was here, it was obvious he had stepped in it and tracked it around as he left the room! I’m extremely upset and angry.

In addition, it’s obvious he doesn’t wash his hands, as the sink and soap are bone-dry.

I don’t want him to come over anymore. My husband wants me to be more forgiving. We’re both too embarrassed to say anything to him.

Should we stop being his friend, or have a frank talk? He is oblivious and continues to contact us and wants to visit. We either put him off or try to arrange to meet him elsewhere. It is becoming unbearable. – Disgusted

Good bridge players keep their eyes open and get on with it. For example, look only at the South hand. West opens one diamond, North overcalls three spades and East passes. What should South do now?

North’s bid shows a respectable seven-card suit and some 6-10 highcard points. South’s choices are pass, three no-trump, four clubs (assuming it is forcing), four spades and five clubs.

Pass is far too cautious. Three no-trump looks like a sensible shot to me. Four clubs does not serve much purpose, unless South would pass a four-spade rebid. Four spades could work, but partner will ask where your trumps have gone! And if five clubs makes, surely three no-trump will as well.

What should South do in three no-trump after West leads the diamond queen?

If the clubs are 2-2 or 3-1, three no-trump is easy. If West has all four clubs, South is in trouble. But if East holds them all, declarer is safe as long as he takes the first trick with his diamond ace. He cashes the club ace and sees the bad break. Then he plays a diamond to the king, takes a club finesse and runs for home.

Note that four spades can go down three, and five clubs is not much better.

(In August, Phillip is running the bridge on a Kalos golf-and-bridge cruise down the Danube from Nuremburg to Budapest with an optional three-day extension to Prague.
