JOLIET – Joliet will hire an animal compliance coordinator to follow up on dog attacks and other pet disturbances in the city.

The part-time positions was approved with barely a comment Tuesday by the the city council. But the new job is a reminder of a controversy that seethed a year ago as residents demanded that the city do something to get vicious dogs under control.

The board voted unanimously to approve the job that will be filled later.

Councilwoman Jan Quillman was part of a committee that held several meetings as an animal ordinance was revised to clarify and toughen procedures for vicious dogs and their owners.Residents complained that the city’s procedures for handling vicious dogs were too confusing and too lax.

They also said that too many times the same vicious dogs would terrorize

trol. The person will follow up on incidents during and after hearings to ensure that dog restrictions are followed and act as an advocate for residents in the enforcement of animal control ordinances.

The job pays between $15 and $20 an hour. The compliance coordinator will be an employee of the mayor’s office.

O’Dekirk said he expected to hire someone in a matter of weeks.

Water planning

O’Dekirk said he expects to name appointments to a new commission to study future water scarcities at the next city council meeting on March 7.

The mayor announced his plan to form the commission at the Feb. 7 meeting after hearing a report that projected the aquifer that provides water to Joliet could begin to be depleted in 15 to 20 years.

O’Dekirk had planned to make the appointments Tuesday but said he needed more time to fill all nine positions.

Peterson transferred out of Illinois prison system The ASSOCIATED PRESS MENARD – Drew Peterson, the former Bolingbrook police officer convicted of killing his third wife and suspected in the disappearance of his fourth wife, has been transferred out of the Illinois prison system and into a federal penitentiary in Indiana.

It was unclear Tuesday why Peterson had been transferred. Illinois Department of Correc- Drew tions spokeswoman Ni- Peterson cole Wilson said she could not comment for security reasons. Will County State’s Attorney’s Office spokesman Charles Pelkie said the decision to transfer Peterson has “no relation” to any charges that could result from the open investigation of the disappearance of Stacy Peterson or any other charges out of the county.

The U.S. Bureau of Prisons would say only that Peterson was being held in a federal prison in Terra Haute. U.S. Attorney’s Office Northern District of Illinois spokesman Joe Fitzpatrick said the of-

a neighborhood because the city did not follow up on incidents.

Mayor Bob O’Dekirk said after the meeting that one of the top priorities for the animal compliance coordinator will be to follow up on incidents.

“Police will get called, but unless something’s happening when they get there, there’s no real follow-up,” O’Dekirk said.

“This person will follow up.”

O’Dekirk in his State of the City address in January 2016, when the vicious dog complaints were peaking, announced his intention to hire an enforcement officer to handle animal problems.

Animal control services in Joliet are provided by Joliet Township Animal Control, which picks up vicious and loose dogs. But city police typically are the first called when a dog is loose or attacking. And the city holds hearings to determine fines and whether dogs should be taken from their owners.

According to the job description, the animal compliance coordinator will be a liaison to Joliet Township Animal Con-

fice was unaware of any federal charges against Peterson. The U.S. attorney’s offices in the southern and central districts of Illinois declined to comment.

“This kind of thing is extremely rare,” said Phil Turner, a Chicago-based lawyer and former federal prosecutor, about such transfers.

Among the reasons for moving someone from a state to a federal prison is that the person may be considering cooperating in a separate federal investigation and agents may want easier access to the person, Turner said.

State prisons have experience holding former officers, Turner said, so it is unlikely Peterson, 63, was being moved to a federal facility on security grounds. State prisoners who might be facing federal charges typically are not moved before the government charges them.

Peterson’s one-time attorney said he believes the transfer is linked to Peterson’s conviction last year of plotting to kill Will County State’s Attorney James Glasgow. Joel Brodsky, who has not represented Peterson for several years, said it’s possible Peterson was deemed too dangerous to remain in the prison where

he hatched the plot.

The transfer is the latest twist in a story that was for years the stuff of tabloids and was even turned into a TV movie starring Rob Lowe. After Stacy Peterson vanished in 2007, authorities reopened the investigation into the death of Peterson’s third wife, Kathleen Savio, whose body was found in 2004 in a dry bathtub in her home. Savio’s death was originally determined to be an accident but after her body was exhumed and an autopsy was conducted, her death was ruled a homicide.

Peterson was convicted of first-degree murder in 2013 in Savio’s death.

While serving a 38-year prison sentence at Menard Correctional Center, he was charged with plotting to kill Glasgow. He was convicted last year and sentenced to an additional 40 years in prison.

Peterson remains a suspect in the disappearance of Stacy Peterson, though he has never been charged. Stacy Peterson is presumed dead, though her body has never been found.

ComEd, local officials work to remove utility poles at nature preserve

By FELIX SARVER

fsarver@shawmedia.com LOCKPORT – A helicopter flew across the Lockport Prairie Nature Preserve carrying a utility pole.

It glided to an area near a railroad crossing, and a team assembled by ComEd ensured the utility pole would be set down safely so it could be taken away from the preserve.

The area was secured with rubber and other material to prevent any disturbance to the rest of the preserve.

“All this coordination – it’s a lot of it,” said Marius Stropus, project manager for ComEd. It was all done to protect the endan-

gered Hine’s emerald dragonfly, which Will County forest preserve officials have described as a “canary in the coal mine” for the surrounding habitat.

The dragonfly is about 2.5 inches long with emerald-green eyes, a metallic green body and yellow stripes on its sides.

Stropus was bundled up in the cold weather and out with other workers in early February to help remove almost 250 utility poles in the 320-acre preserve in Lockport Township. The project, which is being fully funded by ComEd, involves cutting down utility poles and using helicopters to lift them away.

The project began in November, and

Lockport mayor talks challenges ahead “We have to manage growth and congestion.”

By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com LOCKPORT – Lockport Mayor Steve Streit delivered his fourth State of the City address Tuesday at Broken Arrow Golf Club in Lockport.

To start, he compared the city four years ago to when someone decides it’s time to get in shape. They may seek out a workout partner and various forms of inspiration. In this case, Lockport had new leadership.

“That dedication and collaboration is really what makes things work,” he said. “When some of the city council and I took office in 2013, Lockport was out of shape.”

Retail lots were in foreclosure, housing startups were anemic and infrastructure problems weren’t properly addressed, he said.

“And we had a downtown that was, quite frankly, written off,” Streit said.

There was no magic pill to turn everything around.

“It was only hard work and a lot of dedication,” he said.

Now the downtown is sought after and new homes are sprouting up.

In the finance department, the city has a AA+ bond rating and has won a distinguished budget award six years in a row. Streit said the city is conducting a special census because the population has probably exceeded 25,000, and that can make a difference in acquiring more state revenue.

Infrastructure is coming along nicely, as Streit said the city put a capital improvement plan in place to

He said the business community has helped Lockport rebound following an economic downturn. Companies such as Chiquita, LG and UPS are located in the city, which continues to seek out manufacturers, such as Julian Electric, with sales tax incentives.

Over the past few years, people have gotten more active in events such as Old Canal Days, Streit said.

He also looked ahead, touching on some challenges in the upcoming year for the city, its council and residents.

“We have to manage growth and congestion,” Streit said. “We have an identity as a national historic city. We have one of the few nationally registered historic downtowns in the state.

We need to maintain our downtown and manage our growth.”

He said it’s important to work with

developers such as Prologis as much as possible to reach a common ground that seeks to address resident concerns while spurring economic growth. City officials are working with the police department to help address traffic concerns near that development.

“We’re gonna work with the police department on how we address congestion on Route 171 and other roads, we’ve already been working together on a plan,” Streit said.

The city is preparing for a reconstruction of State Street by the Illinois Department of Transportation.

“We need to see it through that we do not lose a single business to the construction,” Streit said. “We’re going to be very proactive making sure we market and embrace our businesses downtown in a very difficult time. But when it’s done, it’s going to be beautiful.”

He announced the city and other boards representing people throughout various Lockport districts plan to form an intergovernmental committee to talk about issues of the area, such as new housing and its affects on schools.

“We can all work together, not as separate entities, but really collaboratively together,” Streit said.

Joliet chamber annual business expo includes job fair

By BOB OKON

bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The Joliet Region Chamber of Commerce & Industry annual business expo this weekend at the Louis Joliet Mall includes a job fair for the first time.

Thirty employers will be concentrated in one wing of the mall, ready to take résumés and maybe even do interviews.

The expo is Friday and Saturday.

The added feature to the expo is an extension of a job fair held by the chamber in October because of the large number of companies in the area seeking workers, chamber President Mary Jaworski said.

“It’s still a big issue, and it’s not

going away anytime soon,” Jaworski said.

The built-in foot traffic at the mall was the attraction when the expo was moved there 17 years ago. Jaworski said it would seem a natural place to find workers as well.

“The entire Sears wing will be dedicated to the job fair,” Jaworski said. “They will be in red booths.”

Other business expo booths will be blue and in other areas of the mall.

Anyone going to the expo to seek out a job should come prepared, said Kelly Baltas, director of member services for the chamber. Areas will be made available for applications and interviews.

“We are urging job seekers to bring their resumes and come pre-

She said there will be a variety of employers at the mall.

Some are Joliet Township High School District 204, DHL Supply

Chain, FedEx and Autobahn Country Club. Both Harrah’s and Hollywood casinos will be part of the job fair.

There also will be a wide variety of companies and nonprofits participating in the expo, Jaworski said.

As of Tuesday afternoon, 91 companies and nonprofits were signed up to be at the expo, although not all will be there for both days. That’s about 20 more than last year, Jaworski said.

“We have actually literally packed the mall this year,” she said. “There’s not a spare space to be had.”

The expo and job fair are running at slightly different times. The expo will run during normal store hours, which are 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. both days.

The job fair will be 3 to 9 p.m. Friday and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday.

JJC president receives student feedback on tuition increase proposal

By FELIX SARVER

fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Joliet Junior College President Judy Mitchell told the board Tuesday that students she spoke with were understanding and supportive of the college’s proposed tuition increases.

However, some students shared with Mitchell that they may be forced to drop out of school based on the proposed increases.

Others part of the Career and Technical Education program – who would be affected a proposal that includes differential tuition – said they were in favor of an “across-the-board tuition increase,” she said.

“At this point I’m going to work very diligently with my team to re-assess our potential tuition increase; look at the differential tuition increase to see what we are comfortable with,” Mitchell said.

Overall, students understood the primary reason for the increase is because of the lack of state funding, she said. For almost two years, Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner and a Democratic-controlled Legislature have been in a stalemate over the budget.

JJC officials have proposed two options for a tuition increase that are based on a scenario that assumes the college will receive only 50 percent of state funding.

Both options increase tuition by either about $21 or $16, the latter of which includes differential tuition, or additional tuition rate charged to courses that are costly to the college.

Differential tuition would apply to

BREAKFAST • BRUNCH LUNCH • DINNER

courses in agricultural and horticultural sciences, culinary arts, public safety, technical and veterinary medical technology.

The board received an update on state legislative issues from the college’s lobbyist Julie Curry, who said the stalemate has been something she and her colleague Brent Hassert have never witnessed before.

“This has been a very, very difficult time for many taxing bodies [and] service organizations throughout the state,” Curry said.

Mitchell said Tuesday that she communicated with students about the proposed tuition. A town hall meeting was held at the college where students asked college officials questions about the increases, she said.

“Although they didn’t appreciate or didn’t want to see the increase, they were supportive of it because of the state. And they wanted to keep their services as they existed,” she said.

Board Vice Chairman Andrew Mihelich asked whether the college was making progress on lowering book costs for students.

Robert Galich, JJC administrative services vice president, said the college contracted with an organization that helps bookstores manage costs and there is also a plan to provide a tool that allows students to compare book costs with other sellers.

Mihelich said lowering book costs has to be “part of the solution.”

“So if the tuition is going to exceed past increases, somehow we’ve got at least be maintaining if not reducing the cost of books,” he said.

hitchfield@shawmedia.com COAL CITY – When Linda Zelinko walked the halls of the Coal City school located at 305 E. Division St., it was the Coal City High School.

Saturday, as she made her way through the halls with Jill Zelinko, it was a bit different. The girls were a bit older and the tables appeared smaller and the outside of the school announced it as the Coal City Intermediate School.

“It’s nice to see all the school rooms,” she said. “I had to stop and think about where the cafeteria was.”

But it was more than just the rooms.

It was the people who stood out.

Linda Zelinko said she was stopped several people and often she had to ask who they were, because she couldn’t remember them all.

Jill Zelinko said it’s hard to explain the school.

“It’s different, but it’s the same,” she said.

There is a lot of history in those walls for the family. Their mom went there, their dad, their grandpa and grandma.

What brought them the biggest thrills, though, was going from room to room decade to decade and picking out those family members. They said it was fun to find pictures of their parents, long forgotten, doing the things everyday high school students do.

Lynn Nicoletti said you realize how different things are and how fast time flies.

The class of 1971 was the final group to graduate from the school building, constructed in 1916 as the community’s first new high school.

The doors opened on Feb. 12, 1917.

Prior to that, high school classes for the newly established Coal City Community High School were held in two storefronts located within the village.

At the time of their graduation in spring 1971, the school had served the community for 54 years and the time had come to expand into a new space.

Although the original high school wasn’t overcrowded, enrollment was starting to increase and the building needed its share of repairs.

The school district opened the doors to the new high school at 655 W. Division St. in the fall of 1971.

Heidi Litchfield – hlitchfield@shawmedia.com

Those who attended Coal City Intermediate School, whether it was a high school, middle school, or intermediate school, had a lot of memorabelia to look at.

Sue Olenek

Health Department executive director Olenek said.

“There are probably at least a dozen water main issues and electrical outage issues a year,” she said.

Moustis said the county can certainly talk to Joliet, calling it a “good point.”

“I think we need to see whether they’re willing to upgrade the infrastructure,” he said, noting the board of health or Palmer could reach out.

Or the consulting firm the committee hires can include it in their scope of work, Moustis said.

“And the consultant might say this is not the right place,” said Will County Board member Ray Tuminello, R-New Lenox.

In August 2015, the city of Joliet did pledge more than $10 million over a 20year period as an incentive for the county to keep the new Will County Judicial Complex downtown. But the health department isn’t as centrally located.

There are also concerns among the committee about what programming will need to be included in the health department as the health care industry continues to change.

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

• Mark S. Blackamore, 38, of the 200 block of Reichman Street in Joliet, was arrested by Joliet police Monday on charges of drug possession

and obstructing justice.

• Denzell H. Chew, 25, of the 2000 block of East 72nd Place in Chicago, and Sterling A. Stephenson, 22, of the 7700 block of South Jeffrey Boulevard in Chicago, were arrested by Tinley Park police Monday on charges of fraud.

• Alante K. Samuel, 23, of the zero block of Huntington Circle in Naperville, was arrested

by Bolingbrook police Monday on charges of identity theft and fraud.

NEW LENOX – Police say a Frankfort man was intoxicated and had a loaded gun in his saddlebag when he crashed his motorcycle into a garage Friday night.

At 11:35 p.m. police were called to the 2000 block of Northwind Drive in New Lenox after witnesses saw the Joseph A. Allan man strike the garage and then ride away.

“A responding officer observed a damaged motorcycle being driven with the kickstand down and conducted an investigative stop,” New Lenox police stated in a news release.

Joseph A. Allan, 24, of the 20900 block of South 80th Avenue, was bleeding from his face when he was stopped, according to the news release.

“At the crash scene, inside a saddlebag belonging to Allan’s motorcycle, a loaded pistol was recovered,” police

stated in the news release.

Allan also allegedly had unprescribed medication with him. He was treated at Silver Cross Hospital and then booked into the Will County Jail on charges of drug possession, driving under the influence, hit-and-run and violating the state’s concealed carry law.

Bertino-Tarrant to hold town hall meeting Thursday

JOLIET – State Sen. Jennifer Bertino-Tarrant, D-Shorewood, will be holding a town hall meeting to discuss state legislative issues 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. Thursday at the Joliet Public Library, 3395 W. Black Road, according to a news release from the senator’s office.

The town hall is open to the public.

Anyone with questions or concerns can join Bertino-Tarrant to discuss state and local government issues.

For information, or to submit questions ahead of time, call Bertino-Tarrant’s office at 815-254-4211.

JOLIET – An ad hoc Will County committee, formed to select the architectural and engineering firm that will design the next health department building, will interview five firms March 3.

The committee is composed of county board leadership from both sides of the aisle, the Will County Executive’s Office and the health department itself.

Not only is the existing Will County Health Department building at 501 Ella Ave. in Joliet outdated and inefficient, there are concerns about whether that address is the best spot to build the next home of the department.

Health Department Executive Director Sue Olenek said there are infrastructure issues in the area surrounding the current building. There are power outages and water outages throughout the year. In fact, there was a power outage last week, she said.

“It’s disruptive and it leads to issues,” she said. “As part of the project, I’m wondering if the city of Joliet would be interested in making a contribution to the project by upgrading the infrastructure in that area. I know the residents would love that.”

County board Speaker Jim Moustis, R-Frankfort, tempered expectations.

“You could ask them, Sue, but good luck – they don’t have any money, either,” he said.

Olenek said the department serves a lot of the city’s residents.

“Maybe give them some data on how many of their residents are being served,” Will County Executive’s Office Chief of Staff Nick Palmer said.

The improvements are necessary,

“It’s disruptive and it leads to issues. As part of the project, I’m wondering if the city of Joliet would be interested in making a contribution to the project by upgrading the infrastructure in that area. I know the residents would love that.”

Elizabeth A. Klukas

Block, Klukas, Manzella & Shell, P.C. 19 W. Jefferson St. • Joliet, Illinois 60435 • (815) 726-9999 www.blocklaw.com Q. My lawyer says to always remind my doctors that I was injured in an accident and then tell my doctors about ALL of my complaints. She says to include even those things that hurt before the accident. Why? A.

The simple answer is for completeness and accuracy. Though you might not realize it, many doctors will only write down your complaints and not mention the accident in their records. This is because the doctor is treating your injury; his job is to focus on the complaints and not necessarily on how or when the complaints started. Telling the doctor of all you complaints and when each started can often help the doctor focus more accurately on a proper course of treatment. Obviously, this is paramount to you as you try to heal after an injury.

when trying to discuss the value of your case. For example, one of my clients was prescribed pain medication on the day of the accident, just a few hours after the trauma. She had not been on any type of pain medication prior to that day. While the average person would easily make the connection, the insurance adjuster claimed there was no connection to the accident because the doctor’s note simple said the medication was for pain and never mentioned the accident! This type of disconnect in logic is very common in the insurance industry and raises the costs of litigation born by the victim because instead of using logic, the insurance company forces the victim to pay for a deposition of the doctor. A deposition where the doctor testifies that, of course, given the timing, the medicine was for the injury and he simply didn’t put it in the note because it was logical and unnecessary!!

Not only is this is good for you, as the patient, it is also good for you as the victim in an injury case. This type of detailed reporting of symptoms and history of accident is often vital to obtaining just compensation for your injuries. Though repeating the history of your injury each and every time you see your doctor serves no medical purpose, if you don’t mention it, the doctor more likely than not will also not note it in his file each time he sees you. Unfortunately, insurance companies and their adjusters frequently go by the theory that if the accident is not specifically mentioned each and every time in connection with the complaint of pain, then it is simply not related.

Well, it’s not logical to the insurance industry. And so, in order to prevent the insurance company from forcing additional monies to be spent by the victim, it is the better approach to simply always mention the accident or incident at treatment so the doctor can write it in the records every time. The more accurate the information is, the less likely the insurance company can delay dealing with it by denying the logical progression of your treatment. So, please, when receiving treatment for an injury related to any accident, remind the doctor why you are there and what condition/pain started or was aggravated While this may seem ridiculous to the average person, it is a real problem by that accident. Do not let the insurance industry victimize you twice!!!

Michael D. Block

Block, Klukas, Manzella & Shell, P.C. 19 W. Jefferson St. • Joliet, Illinois 60435 • (815) 726-9999 www.blocklaw.com Q.

WHAT WAS THE HEAD OF THE NFL PLAYER’S ASSOCIATION COMPLAINING ABOUT REGARDING THE BEARS AND WORKERS’ COMPENSATION?

A. This was a discussion on many radio sports talk shows, as well as in the Chicago Newspapers. In workers’ compensation there is a provision for wage differential benefits, so that when a worker is injured and can longer perform his job, he get 2/3rds of the difference between what he would make in the old job and what he is or could be making in a new job with a lesser income. So if a young rising star gets seriously injured at the beginning of his career, losing all chance for making millions both on and off the field, he may qualify for a wage differential award which is capped at about $1,000.00 per week. With the cap, these claims rarely come even close to compensating the injured athlete for his losses, and certainly not when you are talking about top draft choices. However, the star athletes only comprise at best 1 or 2% of the population that we are talking about, and the lesser paid athletes, who have their careers destroyed, are still only partially compensated with respect to these capped awards. In terms of present cash value, these awards rarely exceed $300,000.00, as the amount of money the athlete can still make otherwise affects on how much he can get, and what he can get is capped anyway.

Notwithstanding, the Bears and the other major Chicago sports teams have used their influence to push what has been introduced as Senate Bill 12, which is a goodie list for wealthy businesses to limit what injured workers, who sacrifice their health for their employers, can receive, in a number of different aspects. As pertains to the Bears and the other Chicago professional teams, the number of years they would qualify for benefits under Senate Bill 12 were cut by like 75%.

But there are many other things in Senate Bill 12 that would help other employers in many other respects too numerous to articulate in this article. And the real problem is that insurance carriers, who write workers’ compensation coverage, have not been passing on the savings from the 2011 laws to the employers, and were not even mentioned in the bill. So the real problem was not about to be solved. Unfortunately, this is just an example of the wealthy helping each other, at the expense of the working man, at a time when employers are no longer leaving the State because of our workers’ compensation laws, which significantly lessened benefits already in 2011. What was really bad is that the bill had a chance of passing, as it was one of a number of bills which the Senate majority and minority leaders were willing to pass in order to have the governor sign a budget, which is something he is constitutionally supposed to do anyway. His refusal to pass a budget on the basis of a desire to lower workers’ compensation benefits is simply wrong, as that is his constitutional obligation. One has nothing to do with the other.

HOMER GLEN JOLIET CHICAGO JOLIET WEST

Q. My husband and I are both 81 years old. We own our own home and have no debt. Our combined monthly income is enough to meet our needs and we have assets of about $100,000.00. We have two children and five grandchildren.

Over the past few months our son and daughter have been pestering us to transfer ownership of our home to them. They say that they are concerned that we will lose our home if one or both of us has to go into a nursing home. They keep telling us horror stories about their friends’ parents who did not transfer their home and who lost everything. Should we deed our home over to our kids?

A. NO!! The last thing a couple in your circumstances should do is transfer all your interest in your homestead to your children.

There are several very good reasons why you should not do this: 1. If you both transfer your full interest in your home to your kids, then your home is no longer your “homestead”.

You may lose your real estate tax homestead exemption, your senior citizen credit and your senior citizen assessment freeze.

2. If your home is no longer your “homestead”, then you may be considered a renter.

If one of your children get a divorce, or causes serious injuries in an automobile accident, your home may be sold right out from you to pay your child’s soon-to-be ex-spouse, or to pay for the automobile accident damages.

3. If you deed your house over to your children (or even add them on the deed as joint tenants with you), they will have to pay a 15% capital gains tax when they sell your home.

SM-CL0393925

For example: You bought your home on Frederick Street in 1957 for $20,500.00; it is now worth $150,500.00. Your children who now own your home sell the house following your death. Your home has gained (appreciated) in value $130,000.00 from 1957 to 2017.

Your children will pay a 15% tax on that gain of $130,000.00 or $19,500.00.

4. If one of you has to go to a nursing home, the one going to the nursing home can transfer his or her full share of the homestead to the spouse who remains at home. The spouse in the nursing home can then qualify for Medicaid.

It could be a farm homestead of 80 acres or a city home worth $500,000.00. This transfer to the spouse remaining in the community is considered an “allowable transfer” by the Illinois Department of Health Care and Family Services (formerly known as the Illinois Department of Public Aid) and the spouse remaining at home will not lose the homestead.

In most circumstances it is not wise for parents to transfer their full interest in their home to their children. If you are interested in conserving your family assets in case one of you has to go into a nursing home, you should consult with an attorney who concentrates in “elder law” or “estate planning” and who is familiar with the statutes and regulations regarding Medicaid coverage for nursing home care.

However, you may also consider doing what my father has always said he is going to do: “I’m going to spend all my money….and become a burden to my children, the State, or both.” Call me or my partner, Jennifer Lynch if we can help you.

ST. PAUL, Minn. – Want to complain to your legislators about wage stagnation? Chances are they’ve gone just as long – maybe longer – without a raise.

Although most state legislatures have direct control over setting their own salaries, the potential backlash from constituents poses a daunting deterrence – particularly at a time when private sector pay barely keeps up with inflation.

Missouri legislators rejected an increase in January after sometimes heated debate, extending their streak without a pay raise to more than a decade. Legislatures in Minnesota and New York haven’t hiked pay for nearly 20 years. Connecticut lawmakers, who earn just $28,000, have actually proposed cutting their own pay.

It’s a record that may be turning away some qualified candidates who can’t afford the government jobs.

Kim Norton, a Minnesota Democrat, said she decided not to seek another term in the state House, and the $31,000 salary was a factor.

Norton described struggling with her children’s college costs and having to put down extra money on a mortgage because her employment was only guaranteed for two years. Still, pay increase proposals only came up a few times during her 10 years in the House, partially because lawmakers feared backlash.

“It was frustrating as a legislator being afraid to defend myself,” Norton said.

Mary Liz Holberg, a Minnesota Republican who was chairman of the state’s powerful Ways and Means committee for two years, left the Legislature after the 2014 session and immediately ran for a higher-paid county commissioner position.

At least 20 times in a tight budget year, Holberg slept on her Capitol office couch because she was too tired to drive home. Though she didn’t say pay was one of the reasons for leaving the Legislature, Holberg acknowledged how grueling of a commitment it is.

“You just kind of get used to it and until you get out, you don’t realize how all-consuming it is,” she said.

Per capita income for Americans has gone up a little more than 6 percent in the past decade, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Over that period, 18 states haven’t increased legislator pay. It’s a reason why in Minnesota, like Holberg, at least four lawmakers have quit the Legislature in the past five years to run for county commissioner spots.

People often wrongly presume legislators make as much as members of Congress, who earn nearly $175,000 a year, said Zachary Baumann, a lecturer in political science at Penn State. The reality is they make much less, especially for smaller, part-time legislatures such as Nevada, Kentucky and six other states where lawmakers get no salary at all but only a daily expense reimbursement.

Those low salaries can restrict legislative jobs to retired or independently wealthy residents, Baumann said.

Even when legislators are willing to risk raising their own pay, it’s not easy.

Massachusetts lawmakers approved a raise by a wide margin in January, only to have Republican Gov. Charlie Baker veto it after citizens complained. Legislators quickly overrode his veto.

Missouri Republican Sen. Jay Wasson argues pay raises are not always an appropriate move, especially when the budget is tight. Though he isn’t completely opposed to pay raises, Wasson said he would prefer a system like Florida’s that raises lawmaker pay alongside state workers.

• UTILITY POLE

Continued from page 3 areas,” said Andrew Hawkins, Forest Preserve District of Will County planning and development director.

According to ComEd, the dragonfly was considered extinct in the mid-1990s but was discovered in the Des Plaines River Valley in 1998 and made its home in the wetlands in Illinois, Missouri and Wisconsin.

Sara Race, ComEd senior environmental specialist, said the project will be an overall benefit for the environment and the energy utility company.

“Long term, I’m hoping this will help the habitat,” Race said.

According to ComEd, its staff will be able to more easily perform regular maintenance on equipment without disturbing the habitat. ComEd built electrical equipment west of the preserve to maintain service for customers in the Lockport Township area.

ComEd has been planning the project for about 10 years in conjunction with the Illinois Department of Natural Resources and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, according to ComEd. The time frame of November through February was deemed by ComEd as the best time to avoid disrupting the habitat.

“It is wet, and there are so many plants and animal species that are either state or federally endangered – or both – down in that area.”

Andrew Hawkins

Forest Preserve District of Will County planning and development director While the Hine’s emerald dragonfly is an important species at the preserve, there are other lifeforms there that are important as well.

Federally endangered species, such as the leafy prairie clover and lakeside daisy, as well as state endangered ones, such as the spotted turtle, also are at the preserve, Hawkins said.

He said the project is in the best interest for the preserve, for public safety and for the safety of the county forest preserve staff who are managing the property. The result of the project will allow ComEd not to have to maintain the utility poles in an area where it is difficult to do so, he said.

“It is wet, and there are so many plants and animal species that are either state or federally endangered – or both – down in that area,” Hawkins said.

said the intent of the exhibit is to “animate the stories associated with one of baseball’s most celebrated rivalries and two of the most enthusiastic fan bases these teams represent.”

Items planned for the exhibit includes the second-base bag stolen by the Cardinals’ Lou Brock to break the modern record for steals in a season, and the cap worn by Cubs pitcher Kerry Wood when he struck out 20 batters.

Museum officials said the exhibit will span 150 years, highlighting the teams’ famous broadcasters, championships, trades and home run races.

There is no extra fee to see the displays, which will be on display in an area dedicated to rotating exhibitions. A series of special events also are planned, including a talk from an expert on Civil War-era baseball and a screening of the movie “Field of Dreams.”

OBITUARIES CATERINA BAIETTI Caterina “Rina” Baietti, age 87, passed away peacefully on Saturday February 18, 2017, at Joliet Area Community Hospice, with her loving family by her side.

Caterina was born in Vescovato, Italy, in 1930. She excelled in her vocational program in Italy and was recognized as a talented seamstress. She sailed to America on the Andrea Doria in 1956 as a newlywed with her 1-year-old daughter. She settled in Mayville, Wisconsin, where she opened and operated an authentic Italian restaurant while her husband worked as a cheese maker. She later resettled in Joliet, where she worked as a seamstress at Turk Furniture’s men’s suit department, as well as running a home-based seamstress business.

Caterina was an avid gardener and seemed to have a magic green thumb. She loved growing flowers, grapes, and vegetables. She loved to cook and her family remembers her cooking breakfast while planning and cooking lunch and dinner at the same time. She never let someone leave her home without offering them something to eat and a hug. She was a devoted mother. She was the glue that kept everything together.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Pietro and Maria (Perini) Chiodelli; her husband, Joseph “Pino” Baietti; one son, Robert Peter Baietti.

Chuck will be remembered for faithfully driving and accompanying Rose to her many activities.

His wife’s family became his own and he will be dearly missed by all the members of the Gallo family including the many nieces, nephews, grand nieces and nephews, and great-grand nieces and nephews to whom he was lovingly known as “Uncle Chuck.”

Austria OKs extradition for Ukrainian oligarch

By GEORGE JAHN

The Associated Press VIENNA – An Austrian court on Tuesday approved a U.S. extradition request for a Ukrainian oligarch suspected of paying millions of dollars in bribes to Indian officials.

The court decision overturns a lower court ruling nearly two years ago against extraditing Dymitro Firtash.

The judge then said that the U.S. move was at least partially politically motivated through links to political events in Ukraine, and not supported by sufficient evidence.

Extradition, however, still is not a certainty. Leo Levnaic-Iwanski, who headed the three-judge panel of the Upper State Court, said the final decision will be made by Justice Minister Wolfgang Brandstetter.

Firtash was indicted in Chicago by a U.S. grand jury in 2012 for allegedly paying off officials through U.S. banks in a failed attempt to secure titanium mining rights in India worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

Arrested a year later in Vienna, he posted bail of more than $130 million

Firefighters battle 1,300-acre southern Illinois wildfire

KAMPSVILLE – Firefighters in southwestern Illinois have been battling a wildfire for more than a week that has burned about 1,300 acres.

North Calhoun Fire Protection District Fire Chief Gary Hall said dry conditions and high winds have continued to spark the fire.

The (Alton) Telegraph reported that the wildfire flared for a fourth time on Sunday.

It apparently started Feb. 12, when a resident lost control of a leaf fire.

Hall said his firefighters have spent at least 30 hours working on the wildfire.

He said there were challenges because the fire is located about a mile from any roads and there is rough terrain. Hall said up to 30 firefighters were on the scene at once.

A burn ban remains in effect for Calhoun County, which is north of St. Louis.

Illinois State University seeks input on its future

NORMAL – Illinois State University is asking the public to weigh in on the institution’s future.

The (Bloomington) Pantagraph reported that the school is asking for community input on the challenges ISU is facing and what the university should look like in 15 to 20 years.

People are invited to complete a survey online by Friday.

The university is updating its strategic plan. It’s the fourth update since the plan was first approved in 2000.

Since then, ISU’s six-year graduation rate has increased from 55.1 percent to 73.4 percent. ISU also has seen increased diversity among its student body.

Both were goals set in the 2000 plan.

The task force working on the strategic plan expects to have a first draft by fall and a final plan next year.

Chicago developer gets 3 years in visa fraud case

CHICAGO – A three-year prison sentence has been handed a man who pleaded guilty to wire fraud for a scheme

to defraud foreign investors into backing a convention complex by Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport.

Anshoo Sethi of Chicago admitted to using fraudulent documents to raise millions from mostly Chinese investors who believed they’d get U.S. residency in return.

The case involves the EB-5 visa program, which allows foreign investors green cards.

The 33-year-old Sethi pleaded guilty in January 2016 to a wire fraud count alleging he lied to about 290 Chinese nationals who bankrolled the $145 million project.

During sentencing, U.S. District Judge John Lee told Sethi he took advantage of hundreds of people for personal gain. In addition to the prison term, Lee ordered Sethi to pay $8.8 million in restitution to his victims.

United aircraft blows tires before takeoff from O’Hare

CHICAGO – The takeoff of a United Airlines flight from Chicago to Fort Myers, Florida, was aborted by two blown tires.

A United Airlines spokeswoman said Flight 306 never left the runway at

Austria Press Agency that the timing had nothing to do with the Austrian court decision. Instead, she said, it was triggered by the receipt of “supplementary information from Spanish authorities.”

One of Ukraine’s most influential businessmen, Firtash, 51, is well-connected both in Moscow and with Ukrainian politicians opposed to the Kremlin. He earned millions of dollars in the natural gas trading sector under deposed pro-Russian Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych.

News reports tie him to business dealings with lobbyist Paul Manafort, an adviser to Donald Trump during his U.S. presidential election campaign.

Manafort also advised Yanukovych during a re-election bid.

Austrian Judge Christoph Bauer suggested in 2015 that the extradition request for Firtash was linked to attempts to weaken Yanukovych by stripping him of a key ally.

A court statement summarizing Tuesday’s ruling focused on the U.S. accusations in overturning Bauer’s decision, saying “the crimes Firtash is accused of have no political character.”

Official: Reforms didn’t cut sentence after killing

LOS ANGELES – A gang member suspected of shooting two California police officers, killing one of them, was released from prison last year on probation under a criminal justice reform initiative that had no effect on how long he spent behind bars, a prison official said Tuesday.

Suspect Michael Christopher Mejia, 26, was sentenced to four years in prison in 2010 on a felony robbery charge as a member of a street gang and was paroled in 2014, said Jeffrey Callison, a spokesman for the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. While on parole, Mejia was arrested again on grand theft and vehicle theft charges and sentenced to an additional two years in prison, Callison said.

Mejia was arrested Monday after Whittier Police Officer Keith Boyer was fatally shot and Officer Patrick Hazell was wounded as they responded to the site of a traffic accident.

Wilfredo Mendoza of Boston and Christina Villafranca of Malden, Mass., display placards during a rally Tuesday called “We Will Persist” in Boston.

Trump’s new rules target millions for deportation

By ALICIA A. CALDWELL The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – Millions of people living in the U.S. illegally could be targeted for deportation – including people simply arrested for traffic violations – under a sweeping rewrite of immigration enforcement policies announced Tuesday by the Trump administration.

Any immigrant who is in the country illegally and is charged or convicted of any offense, or even suspected of a crime, will now be an enforcement priority, according to Homeland Security Department memos signed by Secretary John Kelly.

That could include people arrested for shoplifting or minor offenses – or simply having crossed the border illegally.

The Trump administration memos replace more narrow guidance focusing on immigrants who have been convicted of serious crimes, are considered threats to national security or are recent border crossers.

Under the Obama administration guidance, immigrants whose only violation was being in the country illegally were generally left alone.

Those immigrants fall into two categories: those who crossed the border without permission and those who overstayed their visas.

Crossing the border illegally is a criminal offense, and the new memos make clear that those who have done so are included in the broad list of enforcement priorities.

Overstaying a visa is a civil, not criminal, offense. Those who do so are not specifically included in the priority list but, under the memos, they are still more likely to face deportation than they had been before.

The new enforcement documents are the latest efforts by President Donald Trump to follow through on campaign promises to strictly enforce immigration laws. He’s also promised to build a wall at the Mexican bor-

der – he insists Mexico will eventually foot the bill – and Kelly’s memos reiterate calls for Homeland Security to start planning for the costs and construction.

Trump’s earlier immigration orders, which banned all refugees as well as foreigners from seven Muslim-majority countries, have faced widespread criticism and legal action. A federal appeals court has upheld a temporary halt.

Kelly’s enforcement plans call for enforcing a longstanding but obscure provision of immigration law that allows the government to send some people caught illegally crossing the Mexican border back to Mexico, regardless of where they are from.

Those foreigners would wait in that country for U.S. deportation proceedings to be complete. This would be used for people who aren’t considered a threat to cross the border illegally again, the memo says.

That provision is almost certain to face opposition from civil libertarians and Mexican officials, and it’s unclear whether the U.S. has the authority to force Mexico to accept third-country nationals. But the memo also calls for Homeland Security to provide an account of U.S. aid to Mexico, a possible signal that Trump plans to use that funding to get Mexico to accept the foreigners.

Historically, the U.S. has quickly repatriated Mexican nationals caught at the border but has detained immigrants from other countries pending deportation proceedings that could take years.

The memos do not change U.S. immigration laws, but take a far harder line toward enforcement.

One example involves broader use of a program that fast-tracks deportations. It will now be applied to immigrants who cannot prove they have been in the United States longer than two years. It’s unclear how many immigrants that could include.

When you fill a prescription at your local pharmacy, you assume the medicine you receive is safe and won’t interact badly with other drugs you’re taking.

That’s not an unreasonable assumption, considering that pharmacists enjoy a positive reputation among the public. A recent Gallup poll found that pharmacists are among the most trusted professionals ranking second only to nurses.

But pharmacists’ reputations as patient guardians may be unwarranted. The results of an investigation published by the Chicago Tribune before Christmas showed that patients may be in danger after all.

The paper sent reporters to more than 200 pharmacies in the Chicago area, ranging from small neighborhood drug stores to those operated by large national chains. Fifty-two percent of the pharmacies they visited failed to warn patients that a pair of drugs, if taken together, could result in serious potential harm, even death.

The Tribune called its findings “striking evidence of an industry-wide failure that places millions of consumers at risk.”

No doubt the poor practices uncovered in Chicago are common in other places. Twenty years earlier, in 1996, U.S. News & World Report published a lengthy study that found as the Tribune did that pharmacists failed to warn their patients of dangerous interactions.

GUEST VIEW Trudy Lieberman Back then, the magazine sent reporters to pharmacies in seven cities and found that “well over half failed to warn consumers when presented with prescriptions for drugs, that, when taken separately are safe but when taken together can be risky at best and at worst deadly.”

What was striking to me was that in 20 years not much has changed in the pharmacy business, and unaware patients are still at risk. In 1996 a spokesperson for the American Pharmaceutical Association told U.S. News reporters about ongoing financial turmoil in the retail drug business. Chains had begun to crowd out independents, HMOs were cutting their reimbursements, and pharmacists were under greater stress.

A spokesman for the American Pharmaceutical Association said the profession was “looking at a re-engineering of the whole profession.”

Fast-forward to now. Was there really a re-engineering given what the Tribune found in its investigation last year?

Since findings from the two studies are similar, I’m skeptical. A vice president of CVS pharmacy told the Tribune, “There is a very high sense of urgency to pursue this issue and

get to the root cause.”

My question: Why wasn’t there such urgency 20 years ago?

There still appears to be little protection for patients who have no idea whether a particular combination of drugs they take will kill them. While many pharmacies do have computer programs that alert them when a patient is being prescribed drugs that may interact badly, John Norton, director of public relations for the National Community Pharmacists Association, told me pharmacists sometimes fail to heed the warnings.

They may be suffering from what he called “alert fatigue.” In other words, pharmacists get so many alerts that they fail to comprehend them all, and something slips through. As the Tribune found, those slips are far too common.

Where does this leave patients?

You should still ask the pharmacist to check your records to make sure a new drug doesn’t interact badly with others you take. You can, of course, ask your doctor. But even they may not know – as I found out.

My doctor continued to prescribe Cipro for traveler’s diarrhea for years even though it reduces the effectiveness of another medication I’ve been taking for decades. I learned about this only recently at an urgent care clinic where a doctor refused to prescribe Cipro because of the possible interaction.

Nor can you always rely on those

leaflets put in the bags the pharmacist gives you. The information you get may be supplied by outside vendors, says Larry Sasich, who is the co-founder of Patient Drug News and co-authored the 2005 best selling book, “Worst Pills, Best Pills” with Dr. Sidney Wolfe who headed Public Citizen’s Health Research Group for many years.

Sasich says the best information about when a drug should not be used can be found on a drug’s FDA-approved professional product label on the DailyMed website (https:// dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/) sponsored by the National Library of Medicine.

At the end of each label is the “Medication Guide” the FDA requires for some 200 drugs – many heavily advertised. The agency requires those labels if it believes information is necessary to prevent serious adverse side effects and when patients need to know about any known and serious side effects.

You can also ask the pharmacist for the professional product label. I asked mine for Cipro’s label. He handed me a tiny, tightly wrapped packet, and said, “You’re not supposed to see this unless you ask.”

My advice: Ask!

Lincoln-Way West, Lemont advance to dual team state tourney

By CURT HERRON

cherron@shawmedia.com OAK FOREST – It’s a safe bet that the dual team sectional meets have been one of Brian Glynn’s least-favorite dates on the wrestling calendar the past few seasons.

For six-straight years from 2011-16, Lincoln-Way West was ranked among the state’s top teams in Class 2A but only won once in that round to earn a trip to the quarterfinals, falling to a squad that either finished first or second in the other five years.

But it was a different story for the Warriors in their debut in the dual team sectional in Class 3A on Tuesday in Oak Forest when they met up with Plainfield South, which was competing in the event for the first time in its history.

West jumped out to an early advantage and went 10-4 in matches won to help it claim a 50-15 victory over the Cougars, which advanced it to Saturday’s 9 a.m. quarterfinals against Wheeling, who beat Huntley, 40-27, at Rockford East.

“We’ve got a good group of seniors who have seen us lose this the last three years against teams that wrestled for the state championship,” Glynn said. “So this was good, especially with us being in our first year in 3A and making the trip downstate. We wrestled pretty good, all things considered. I was pretty pleased with the way that we came out.”

The Warriors (22-3) received a 6-3 decision from Trevor Schmidt over Adrian Cervantes in the opener at 182 and then got consecutive pins from

Continued from page 29 In the last four matches, West received pins from Joey Schloegel (145) and Josh Bohne (160) while South got a pin from Erik Santiago (152) and a 9-7 victory from Will Johnston over Tanner Lorenz in the final match.

“We had a hard week of practice and coach Glynn really kept us focused to make sure that we could make it to team state,” Bohne said.

“We haven’t missed a beat at all and I think we’re ready to go to state and can make some noise. We have a really special team and it’s nice to get this chance. We’re a close-knit group of guys and to be able to go to state and have a chance to place is an awesome thing.”

While his squad came up short in their initial visit to the dual team sectional, Cougars coach Jason Acevedo realizes that just getting there was a big step and now they can build on it.

“Getting here capped a successful season since there were only 16 teams who were wrestling today,” Acevedo said. “But it’s just the first step. We used to have the goal of winning a regional and now it’s not just about winning that, but winning this dual and moving forward. These seniors have laid a successful foundation for us and our younger kids are buying in. As young as we are, we’re going to experience this again moving forward.”

“Anytime you get young kids coming in, you don’t how they’ll react, but these guys have been around wrestling for long so they’re already battle-tested,” St. Clair said. “And I think it’s a testament to the seniors that we have on the team. They could say that these are new kids and could

shun them but that was definitely not the case. They all came together and are having a lot of fun.”

Damyen Gothard (182) started things with a major decision and after the Crusaders won three in a row, Kyle Schickel (106) got a fall, Paul McGrath (113) won by forfeit and Drew Nash (120) also recorded a fall.

The Indians got consecutive falls from Grant LaDuke (132) and Kyle Zator (138) and then wrapped things up

with a pin from Egan Berta (152) and a 6-3 win by Jake Kirkman (160).

“I’m really excited for our team and especially all of the seniors to get another opportunity to wrestle and extend our season a little longer,” Berta said. “We have some freshmen who will get good experience going to team state. I think we have the people to win our first match and maybe even get to the finals. I’m looking forward to it and it should be fun.”

ing the shot and trying to get that three-point play.”

A frantic second half saw the Raiders claw their way back, but they could never quite get to the Bengals. Bolingbrook’s Gabriella Smith (24 points) scored nine in the third quarter to pull the Raiders to within 46-42 as the fourth quarter began.

But East always responded and never gave into the pressure of the situation.

Lotanna Onua added 18 points and provided a potent one-two punch on the inside with Jenkins.

“Those two, Jenkins and Onua, feed off each other,” Waznonis said.

“But it’s more than just on the inside, they both can go outside and we feel you can try and stop one, but not both. We have a great combination of players that complement each other’s game.”

Madelyn Sidman also chipped in 11 points for East.

The Bengals as a unit always responded and never gave into the pressure.

They seemed to take total control early in the second quarter as they went on an 8-2 run to go up, 22-11.

They matched that lead at 28-17 before Bolingbrook rallied in the last minute of the first half to make it 3125 at the break.

In the first quarter, the Bengals jumped to an 8-4 lead on two 3-pointers by Sidman, but the Raiders responded and gained an 9-8 lead. It would be their only lead of the game as East came right back and ended the quarter leading, 14-9.

Lotanna Onua scored the Bengals’ final six points of the quarter, and Bolingbrook was only 4 of 15 from the field in those eight minutes.

BOYS BASKETBALL: ROMEOVILLE 59, JOLIET CENTRAL 56

Romeoville holds off Joliet Central comeback

By DICK GOSS

dgoss@shawmedia.com ROMEOVILLE – The bookend games both were something special.

Joliet Central opened the boys basketball season with a 73-66 double-overtime victory over Romeoville in the WJOL Thanksgiving Classic, after the Spartans led, 52-42, early in the fourth quarter.

In Tuesday night’s regular-season and Southwest Prairie Conference finale, Romeoville led 35-24 at half and 39-24 early in the third quarter. True to form, back came the Steelmen, finally drawing even at 50-50 with 4:10 left, 54-54 with 1:54 remaining and 56-56 with 1:19 to go.

But the time, with junior guard Ibam Padilla providing the spark off the bench, the Spartans had the late answers, scoring a thrilling 59-56 victory.

Romeoville sophomore guard Mike Slater, who also entered off the bench, finished with a game-high 18 points. He hit 8 of 9 free throws, two with 1:38 to go and one of two with :03 left. Central’s Jose Grubbs rebounded the miss and got the ball upcourt to Cameron Blackmon, but his 3-point attempt hit the backboard and bounced off as time expired.

The Steelmen (21-5, 11-3) had been looking for the tying bucket in their previous possession, and Grubbs tried to draw a shooting foul against Romeoville’s Dontia Johnson. But the attempt failed, and Salter took the rebound out

“We played unselfish as a team, we focused on the defensive side and that’s what won the ball game,” Romeoville coach Marc Howard said. “We wanted to go into the regional feeling good, and we should now.

“Larry [Thompson, the Central coach] was my coach. I have nothing but respect for him and the way his team

plays.”

“Without a doubt, they were ready to play on their Senior Night,” Thompson said of the Spartans (15-11, 9-5). “Their kids did a great job. They were excited, they had a lot of energy and in the first half. It seemed like they got all the 50-50 balls.

“I give our guys credit for not quitting. But thinking you are ready to

play and being ready are two different things. We have to get ready now for the regional.”

Central, the No. 3 seed in the Class 4A Lincoln-Way East Sectional, was coming off a 51-49 loss to Joliet West last Saturday. In all five of the Steelmen’s losses, they took the game down to the final possession or two.

Romeoville, the No. 7 seed, has won three straight after escaping from a late-season lull.

“We can’t get too far ahead of ourselves,” Howard cautioned. “We have Oswego East first in the sectional and we have to be prepared. They have a very good basketball team.”

Padilla scored 15 points for Romeoville on 6-of-8 shooting. Included were two 3-pointers in two attempts and the runner along the baseline with 0:43 remaining that gave the Spartans the lead one last time.

“Padilla gave us big minutes off the bench,” Howard said. “Like I said early on, we are deep at guard.”

The Spartans finished 6 of 11 from beyond the arc. Central was only 2 of 11 in the first half but 4 of 6 in the third quarter to get back in the game. Blackmon hit three straight from long range and Jason Bingham chipped in one.

Bingham led the Steelmen with 14 points. Ryan Saunders had 11 points and nine rebounds off the bench. Grubbs scored 11, eight in the fourth quarter to help set up the wild finish.

AURORA – It was a veteran program against the rookie program in girls basketball Tuesday night at the Class 4A East Aurora Sectional semifinal.

Bolingbrook, a regular participant in the sectionals, played Plainfield East, making its first appearance.

On this night it was the newcomer, as Plainfield East continued its magical season with a 69-60 victory.

With the win, the Bengals move on to the sectional final Thursday night at 7 p.m. against Benet Academy, which beat Yorkville, 54-39.

The victory was the 25th for East (25-7), setting a new standard for the girls program.

“This was outstanding,” East

coach Tony Waznonis said. “The seventh seed was all the motivation this team needed. We are not your typical seven seed. These girls have progressed to be in this situation. Most have been on the varsity since their sophomore year. We set a record for most wins in a season tonight and that shows you how they have progressed.”

Bengals junior Olivia Jenkins led the way with 25 points along with 13 rebounds and was a difference-maker inside.

“We treated it like another basketball game, but it really wasn’t,” Jenkins said. “It was loud, hot and dry in this gym and our coach prepared us well for the situation. He stressed to remain calm and just play our game. We did that for the most part. I do whatever I can to help the team. I love rebounding and finish-

32 GIRLS BASKETBALL: CLASS 3A HILLCREST SECTIONAL SEMIFINAL: MORGAN PARK 54, PROVIDENCE CATHOLIC 44

Providence’s 20-win season ends vs. Morgan Park

By MIKE FITZGERALD

Shaw Media correspondent COUNTRY CLUB HILLS – Morgan Park ended the Providence Catholic girls basketball team’s outstanding season Tuesday, beating the Celtics, 54-44, in the Class 3A Hillcrest Sectional semifinal.

Providence finishes, 20-12, while the Mustangs improved to 10-16.

They will face Oak Forest on Thursday in the sectional final.

Morgan Park won the game by outrebounding the Celtics, 37-25. The glaring statistic was the Mustangs’ 22-7 edge on the offensive boards.

“Their ability to get the offensive rebounds was the difference in the ballgame,” Providence coach Eileen Copenhaver said. “It was all about

rebounding. They were athletic and quicker to the ball.”

The Celtics trailed the Mustangs, 33-23, at halftime before Morgan Park opened a 42-27 lead with 3:07 to play in the third quarter. The Celtics refused to quit. They went on a 10-1 run to close the quarter trailing 4337.

Providence sophomore forward Ryann Ogarek, who took a ball to the face in warmups, causing a bloody nose, scored eight of her game-high 24 points during that stretch. She also finished with a team-high 10 rebounds.

“I was feeling really good going into the fourth quarter, but then it came down to an offensive rebound that they grabbed and put back in,” Copenhaver said of the Mustangs’

BOYS BASKETBALL: MINOOKA 55, PLAINFIELD SOUTH 47

ability to convert a miss, putting Morgan Park ahead 47-39 with 6:18 to play.

The Celtics chased an eight- to 10-point deficit the rest of the game.

Despite the loss, Copenhaver was proud of her team, especially her seniors.

“The five seniors we had (Meghan Morrissette, Lina Tomczak, Molly Hallberg, Claire Paciga and Riley Kilmartin) had unbelievable character,” Copenhaver said. “They did things the right way, and they were a joy to coach. They went from seven wins last season to 20 wins. They did an outstanding job for me.”

Paciga said the difference between last season and this was the team getting more confident in themselves and in each other.

“We went into the season with confidence and just tried to forget about last year,” Paciga said. “Everyone on the team found a role, and we had younger kids who took on bigger roles, especially Ryann and Abby [Ragusa]. They were a lot more confident with the ball, and that made everyone trust them more, knowing that they knew what they were doing.”

The future is bright with Ogarek, the team’s leading scorer and rebounder, returning next season. She also credited the seniors with showing the rest of the team the way to win.

“It was a really good experience,” Ogarek said. “They were really good leaders. I feel like they taught us a lot.”

BOYS BASKETBALL: LINCOLN-WAY EAST 61, LOCKPORT 50

Minooka beats Plainfield Lincoln-Way East gets early South to honor seniors, Smith momentum, beats Lockport

By DENNIS NELSON

Shaw Media correspondent CHANNAHON – Minooka transformed what could have been an emotional night into an evening with very little drama Tuesday in Minooka.

The Indians raced to an early lead and were never threatened during a 55-47 win over Plainfield South in the Southwest Prairie Conference finale for both teams.

It was not only Senior Night, but an evening to remember late boys track and field coach Mark Smith, who died in November from brain cancer at age 29.

Coaches and team members wore custom shirts made for the occasion that featured the quote, “If you are going to do something, then gosh darn it, do it right” on the back. The front featured a word in the shape of a basketball.

“Senior Night is always a tough night and I thought we did a good job honoring Mark Smith tonight,” Minooka coach Scott Tanaka said. “He meant a lot to our school and a lot to our players.”

The seniors also have meant a lot to the Indians’ program. Senior Jonathan Butler led three players in double figures with 19 points. Senior Antonio Milazzo added 15 and junior Kyle Graebner chipped in 12.

“The tough thing about these nights is you still have the goal of winning the game,” Tanaka said.

“We have great senior leadership.

They did a great job weathering the storm and knocking down some shots and free throws at the end.”

Trailing 3-0 after one Plainfield South possession, Minooka (21-8, 104) scored the next 13 points and were never headed.

“We haven’t shot like that since the beginning of the WJOL Tournament,” Butler said. “We came out on fire, got the ball to the seniors and we were just hitting shots. That felt good.”

Minooka led 19-4 late in the first quarter. The Indians had five 3-pointers during the early blitz. Plainfield South (5-23, 2-12) had a 3-pointer and free throw.

“Our defense always sets the tone for us,” Butler said. “It worked out well. We didn’t want to lose three straight before the regional.”

Minooka led 19-9 after a quarter and 32-19 at the half en route to snapping a two-game losing streak. Plainfield South was as close as six points during the final two minutes.

“We usually do play better defense and tonight, we let our defense get away from us a little bit tonight,” Tanaka said. “We’re going to have to do a better job if we want to win a regional.”

Shaw Media correspondent LOCKPORT – Sam Shafer isn’t a secret weapon for Lincoln-Way East.

Not anymore, he isn’t.

The younger brother of Max scored 17 points Tuesday night to lead the Griffins to a 61-50 victory over Lockport, an outcome that the Porters would dearly like to reverse next Wednesday.

They’ll get that chance only by beating Plainfield South in the opening game of their Class 4A regional.

Meanwhile, the Griffins (19-10, 6-4 SouthWest Suburban Blue), having tied the school record for wins, can crow.

Not that crowing is the style at East. Sam Shafer said the celebration after beating Bolingbrook last Friday was not long-lasting.

“We celebrated the win, and Saturday morning, it was, ‘We’ve got to get after it,’ ” Sam Shafer said. “This was a trap game. We’re just trying to put it together one game at a time.”

That was evident from the opening tip against the Porters (11-15, 2-8). The Griffins scored the last 12 points of the first quarter and led 23-8 after eight minutes.

“That’s because we shared the ball and all played unselfishly,” coach Rich Kolimas said.

“We’ve built a great team chemistry,” Sam Shafer said.

So much so, his 17-point effort was the best on the squad only by a point.

Dorian Aluyi, whose transition in from Lincoln-Way North was seamless, added 16 points, while Max Shafer scored 15. That three-way punch, and their equally astute effort on defense, was too much for the Porters.

“Dorian, his savvy, his presence on the floor for us, demands respect from other teams,” Kolimas said. “They’ve accepted their roles, and they change from game to game, too. Our job as coaches is to figure out what those roles will be.”

The Griffins’ generally seamless play was too much for the Porters for three quarters, especially at the start.

The Porters rallied from a 44-31 deficit after three quarters and pulled to within five points with 90 seconds to play, but couldn’t get over the hump.

Senior Christian Schultz closed out his home career with a 17-point showing, while Matt Smietanski added 16, including eight in the final quarter, while John Meyer came off the bench with 10 points.

If there’s one thing Kolimas didn’t like, it was the readiness of his subs.

They might have still been in the post-Bolingbrook clouds.

He’s got a week to bring everyone back to earth.

BMI Surgery at Silver Cross Hospital helps Ottawa Mom improve health after bariatric surgery SPONSORED BY

By Diane Krieger Spivak Trying to have an active lifestyle was challenging for Nikki Lozano, 38, who weighed 238 pounds. After seeing herself in her sister’s wedding photos she decided to find help to lose weight. For 15 years she had high blood pressure and weight-related body aches. Since losing 90 pounds after having laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy surgery on March 2, 2015 with BMI Surgery at SilverCross Hospital, Lozano encourages others to see if weight loss surgery is an option.

“I no longer take blood pressure medicine and my body aches are gone,” said Lozano. “I am more confident and I’m no longer exhausted so quickly,” said the Ottawa resident.

On a recommendation from her primary care physician, Nikki attended BMI Surgery’s free informational session. “After listening to Dr. Christopher Joyce’s presentation, I understood that the real success relied on me to make behavioral changes.”

“Patients see an exercise physiologist, dietitian,

cardiologist, psychologist, pulmonologist, and a bariatric nurse to get them ready for surgery,” says Dr. Joyce. “We screen patients carefully to ensure their success and safety. Nikki is an excellent example of how bariatric surgery can positively enhance one’s life.”

The American Society of Metabolic & Bariatric Surgery defines morbidly obese as a body mass of 35 or above, or for a normal height woman, being more than 100 pounds overweight. These patients are often best treated with bariatric surgery as opposed to nonsurgical weight loss. Those who are morbidly obese are at a higher risk of mortality and life-threatening disease, including heart disease, stroke, cancer and diabetes.

BMI Surgery has changed the lives of more than 5,000 patients with laparoscopic gastric bypass, laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy, ReShape, and Lap-Band and REALIZE gastric band systems at Silver Cross.

“If we need to send a message out there to the players, I’m here for you, too. I can help you in that and vice versa.

If I do something you don’t like, just let me know. Just chew me out, whatever.

I’ll take it like a man.”

Montero has been getting after it in workouts. He took part in the Cubs’ photo day activities early in the morning

before hitting the fields.

“I actually felt when I came in this morning, I felt awesome,” he said. “It was a great feeling. That’s what I’m looking for. I want to have fun. I want to enjoy. And we’ve got a special team with a legitimate chance to win another championship.”

Maddon echoed those sentiments and had high praise for his veteran catcher.

“He started first and he was saying to me exactly what I wanted to say to him,” Maddon said. “So it’s kind of nice. When it comes down to understanding pitchers, we have so much in common. It was a good opportunity to talk.

“This guy, eventually, if he wants to, is going to be a coach, a manager, whatever he wants to do, a scout. But we had a really good time. We really didn’t talk about last year a whole lot. We just talked about now, talked about the beautiful thing is we won a World Series together.

And it’s about moving forward. Really, there was not a lot of hashing about the past. It was about now and what’s going to happen next.”

Workers’

Compensation Settlements SPONSORED BY

Every case eventually must be settled, and to get a fair settlement, you will almost always need an attorney. Workers’ Compensation attorneys know what a case is worth, injured workers, as a rule, do not.

If you want to do the research yourself, and look up cases where there was a similar injury, similar time off work, similar treatment, and similar permanent restrictions after treatment ended, be my guest. It’s not easy.

More importantly, after you’ve done all that work, it is still unlikely any adjuster will pay you the fair value of the claim. Why should they, you have no leverage. You can only say yes or no to their offer, but you cannot get them to increase the offer. If you say yes, you end up with a very

low settlement. If you say no, you get nothing.

Not a good set of choices.

A good Workers’ Compensation lawyer not only has the experience needed to properly value your claim, but has the leverage to get a settlementthatisconsistentwiththatvalue.Even if you decide to manage the entire claim on your own, when it comes time to settle, please contact an attorney.

MESA, Ariz. – There’s nothing quite like a nice Italian dinner and a bottle of red to make things right.

Cubs manager Joe Maddon and catcher Miguel Montero got the warm glow going again over dinner Monday night.

“We had a good time,” Maddon said Tuesday after the Cubs worked out on a sunny day. “Miggy picked out a place way up in Scottsdale, Andreoli’s Grocer Market. Reeked of Hazleton (Pennsylvania) back home. Loved it. Real Italian dude running the place. The ravioli was spectacular. Great conversation. We had a really good time. It was a perfect setting just to really have an opportunity to have a conversation.”

That conversation, both men said, centered on 2017, not 2016. Even though the Cubs won the World Series and Montero had some big postseason hits, he had expressed unhappiness with his reduced playing time.

But manager and player decided to leave the past in the past as they broke bread and uncorked vino in the compa-

ny of Cubs quality assurance coach Henry Blanco. This season, the 33-year-old Montero knows he will be the backup to second-year man Willson Contreras.

“It was a good time,” Montero said.

“We both wanted to talk to each other.

At the end of the day, this is 2017. We turn the page. Our main goal right now is 2017. We both agreed on that. Pretty much all I said was, ‘You know what, man, let me in. I want to be part of it. I want you to trust me. I can help in different ways. I know what my role is, which is fine. I’m good with that. All I want to be is helpful for the team.

“I tell you, I went to bed and I slept so good. I felt amazing, and he probably did, too. We’re a team. We got one goal in common.”

Montero has been an outspoken player and team leader throughout his career. And he doesn’t want one term associated with his name.

“I’ve never been a cancer wherever I play,” he said. “I’m not planning to be one of those guys. I’m telling you, whatever it takes me to help him, I was [true] with him. I said, ‘If you feel Willson needs a break and it’s (Clayton) Kershaw pitching for the other team, put

34 WHITE SOX SPRING TRAINING

Spring trade of Quintana less likely

Talks for highly coveted left-hander cool down

By DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN

dvanschouwen@suntimes.com

GLENDALE, Ariz. – So this is it?

More than a few White Sox fans, while on board with the Chris Sale and Adam Eaton trades that reeled in seven prospects and signaled the start of a rebuild, want to see more.

There is a “theory” going around that Sale and Eaton were traded because they either spoke out against vice president Ken Williams during the LaRoche catastrophe last spring or contributed to some other levels of tension in the clubhouse.

That no other trades have been made adds fuel to that fire. While Sale curried no favor by blasting Williams and cutting up throwback jerseys before a game he was scheduled to start in a rage against the organization, the fact of the matter is they were dealt because of the hauls of young talent brought in return.

The Sox’s other high-end trade chip,



 

      

Jose Quintana, probably was close to being gone, too. General manager Rick Hahn has said a similar deal on two occasions, at least one presumably around the holidays, fell through at the ownership level, and it’s reasonable to assume it involved Quintana.

Since then, the Sox haven’t backed down from their lofty demands, and talks have simmered. More than a week into spring training, it’s beginning to look more and more like Quintana will be the Opening Day starter when the Sox host the Tigers on April 3. Trades do happen during spring training, but the nonwaiver Aug. 1 deadline will be a more active time, and Hahn is holding his cards, knowing he doesn’t have to deal the 28-year old lefthander who is under contract control until 2020. Quintana would have value a year from now with three years left on his reasonable deal that would top out at $11.5 million in the final club option.

“The reasons we pull the trigger [on a trade] is because we feel it’s going to put us in the best position for the long term,’’ Hahn said. “On any given player, their length of control and how you

project their performance going forward will factor into whether the return serves us better for the long term or it’s better to sit and let this player continue to develop or be part of the plans for the long term.’’

With a respectable veteran starting rotation of Quintana, Carlos Rodon, Miguel Gonzalez, Derek Holland and James Shields and a lineup that includes Jose Abreu, Todd Frazier, Tim Anderson, Melky Cabrera and Brett Lawrie, the Sox don’t shape up today as a contender in the American League Central. They don’t look like the 100loss team some envisioned when the first two rebuilding moves were made, either.

Not yet, anyway.

“We don’t view it as everyone in that locker room needs to be moved to serve the next championship White Sox club,’’ Hahn said. “A lot of those players are hopefully going to play key roles on that next club. If we get to the point where we feel like it’s in the long-term benefit of the club to perhaps take a little something away from today to serve the longer greater good, then that’s when you wind up making a deal.’’

BLACKHAWKS 5, WILD 3

By DAVE CAMPBELL The Associated Press

• Wednesday, February 22, 2017

ST. PAUL, Minn. – Jonathan Toews had three goals and two assists, and the Blackhawks beat rival Minnesota, 5-3, on Tuesday night for their second win over the Western Conference-leading Wild in less than two weeks.

Toews notched his fourth career hat trick on an empty-netter with 1:02 left to stave off a spirited rally by the Wild, who began a franchise-record eight-game homestand Feb. 8 with a 4-3 overtime loss to the Hawks. Toews had a goal and two assists in that one and has 37 points in 35 career games against Minnesota.

The Hawks’ captain has been chewing up almost everyone else, too, with 20 points in his past 12 games. Toews’ wing men, Nick Schmaltz and Richard Panik, had the other goals, giving the Hawks 34 goals in their past eight games. Their first line totaled nine points.

Mikael Granlund’s second power-play goal for the Wild brought them within 4-3, before Ryan Suter hit the crossbar with a shot that nearly tied it.

The game was played in front of the largest crowd of the season in Minnesota, an overflow paid attendance of 19,333 filled out with the usual smattering of boisterous Hawks fans.

They got the first chance to fully cheer when Toews knocked in the rebound of Brian Campbell’s slap shot that Devan Dubnyk wasn’t able to glove in the first minute of the second period.

Wild defenseman Matt Dumba,

back from a four-game absence because of a lower-body injury, was in Dubnyk’s way as the All-Star goalie tried to freeze the puck. The night didn’t improve for Dumba, whose turnover behind the goal line less than five minutes later gave Toews possession for a slick setup for Panik and a 2-1 lead.

Dubnyk was awfully busy in that middle frame, making a diving save to deny Patrick Kane’s chip from the edge of the crease a little later and then letting Brent Seabrook’s shot ping off the post.

The Hawks outshot the Wild, 13-5, in the second period and took a twogoal lead just 33 seconds into the final frame when Toews beat Mikko Koivu on a faceoff before the puck scooted toward Schmaltz for a wrist shot that Dubnyk never saw.

Zach Parise’s blind redirect of Marco Scandella’s shot brought the Wild back within one. He had another one waved off by a high stick call.

Dubnyk stopped 34 shots, and Corey Crawford had 29 saves for the Hawks.

Notes: The Hawks are 20-5-1 when Toews gets at least one point. ... The Wild lost by more than one goal for only the fifth time this season. ... Exactly one year ago, the Wild beat the Hawks, 6-1, in an outdoor game at the University of Minnesota’s football stadium that was interim coach John Torchetti’s home debut behind the Wild bench.

Up next: Hawks: The Blackhawks return home to start a four-game homestand, beginning with Arizona on Thursday.

MEN’S BASKETBALL BIG TEN ROUNDUP

Big second half leads Illinois over Northwestern, 66-50 The ASSOCIATED PRESS CHAMPAIGN – Malcolm Hill scored 18 points to lead Illinois to a 66-50 win over Northwestern on Tuesday night.

The two teams played a tight contest, where the deficit didn’t grow larger than four points for much of the game. But Northwestern suffered an eight-minute scoring drought in the last 10 minutes, and Illinois built its lead to double digits for the first time.

Illinois (16-12, 6-9 Big Ten) controlled the pace for much of the game, including offensively, where the Illini shot 40 percent from the field and 6 of 18 from 3-point range.

Leron Black had a strong presence, scoring seven of the Illini’s first eight points. He finished with 11 points and eight rebounds.

Bryant McIntosh led the way for Northwestern (20-8, 9-6) with 16 points.

The Wildcats shot well from the field, 32 percent, but failed to take advantage of the numerous open 3-point opportunities, shooting 4 for 18.

Big picture: Northwestern: The Wildcats now have lost twice to a bad Illini team. Northwestern has three more games before the Big Ten Tournament and what likely will be the program’s first NCAA Tournament berth.

Illinois: The Illini got another win against their rival, one that will help

their NIT Tournament chances. With three games left in the season before the Big Ten Tournament, wins against Northwestern are the bright spot for a season that doesn’t look good for John Groce’s team or his future.

Up next: Northwestern travels to Bloomington for a Saturday night matchup against Indiana.

Illinois heads back to the road for a Sunday evening game at Nebraska.

No. 14 Purdue 74, Penn State 70: At State College, Pennsylvania, Ryan Cline scored six of his 11 points in overtime to lift No. 14 Purdue over Penn State on Tuesday night.

Cline hit consecutive 3-pointers to secure his team’s sixth straight win

in a game the Boilermakers led for just 9:16.

Vincent Edwards added 14 points, Isaac Haas chipped in 13, and Dakota Mathias scored 12 for the Boilermakers (23-5, 12-3 Big Ten).

Tony Carr scored 21 points, Lamar Stevens added 18, and Mike Watkins finished with 11 for Penn State (14-14, 6-9).

Penn State led for all but 7:35 of regulation and by as many as 10 points midway through the first half.

But it surrendered the lead on a dunk

by Haas with 10:13 left.

The Nittany Lions used a 10-2 run and four straight baskets from Carr to send the game into overtime, where Cline found his shot.

Former Los Angeles Lakers star Magic Johnson speaks at a groundbreaking ceremony Aug. 23 for a stadium that will be home to the Los Angeles Football Club in Los Angeles. The Los Angeles Lakers fired general manager Mitch Kupchak on Tuesday and put Magic Johnson in charge of basketball operations in a major shake-up of the struggling franchise’s front office.

Lakers shake-up: Magic is in charge after GM Kupchak fired

By GREG BEACHAM The Associated Press

Magic Johnson is leading the Los Angeles Lakers again after a major shakeup of the struggling franchise’s front office.

Lakers owner Jeanie Buss fired general manager Mitch Kupchak on Tuesday and put Johnson in charge of basketball operations. Jeanie Buss also removed her brother, Jim, from his job as the Lakers’ executive vice president of basketball operations.

Jim Buss retains his ownership stake in the team, but Jeanie Buss has final say under the structure set up by their late father, Jerry Buss. She used it to chart a new course for the Lakers, who are mired in the worst four-year stretch in the 16-time NBA champion franchise’s glorious history.

Just 19 days after Johnson returned to the Lakers in an executive role, Jeanie Buss promoted the Hall of Fame point guard to have the final say on basketball decisions. Johnson is the Lakers’ new president of basketball operations, reporting directly to Jeanie Buss, although the team also plans to hire a new general manager.

“I took these actions today to achieve one goal: Everyone associated with the Lakers will now be pulling in the same direction, the direction established by Earvin and myself,” Jeanie Buss said in a statement. “We are determined to get back to competing to win NBA championships again.”

Jeanie Buss made the extraordinary moves two days before the trade deadline. The Lakers have the NBA’s third-worst record at 19-39 this season,

plummeting out of contention after an encouraging 10-10 start under new coach Luke Walton, who got a strong vote of confidence.

Jeanie Buss said she “took a series of actions I believe will return the Lakers to the heights Dr. Jerry Buss demanded and our fans rightly expect. Our search for a new general manager to work with Earvin and coach Luke Walton is well underway, and we hope to announce a new general manager in short order. Together, Earvin, Luke and our new general manager will establish the foundation for the next generation of Los Angeles Lakers greatness.”

Kupchak had been the Lakers’ GM since 2000, studying under Jerry West and eventually succeeding him. Kupchak had been in the Lakers’ front office for 30 years, including the last 17 as general manager – the longest current stretch running a front office in the NBA. Jim Buss had been in the Lakers’ front office for 19 years, including 12 in charge of basketball operations alongside Kupchak. The former horse trainer had final say on basketball decisions in recent years.

But the Lakers have steadily declined from the heights of back-toback championships in 2009 and 2010.

They are mired in the worst four-year stretch in franchise history, missing the playoffs in three consecutive years with their three worst records ever.

After an extraordinary trade for Pau Gasol propelled the Lakers to three straight NBA Finals appearances, Kupchak and Jim Buss made a series of high-profile personnel moves that didn’t pan out.

Jody’s Hot Dogs: Comfort food in ’50s-style venue

By MYSTERY DINER Usually, I’m not impressed when a single venue offers every choice under the sun. I mean, how can one food place specialize in everything?

But my co-workers frequently order from Jody’s Hot Dogs in Joliet, and they order more than hot dogs. In addition to any number of hot sandwiches, a fair amount of salads and wraps get delivered to our door.

I always know when that happens because the mouth-watering scent of Jody’s signature hand-cut fries comes wafting my way.

For this review, I could have ordered carryout. But I was encouraged to dine in, or – at the very least – order “to go” in person. That’s because the ’50s atmosphere and friendly, easy-going staff is half the fun. So I grabbed a hungry friend one night and off we went.

Stepping through the door felt like entering the set of a remake of “Happy Days.” The yellow and white walls along with the red and white checked flooring felt cheery under the bright lights, even though the hour was late.

A giant “Elvis” rules the far side of the room; various vintage memorabilia line the walls. I almost expected to hear “The Fonz” call out, “AAAYYYYY!” The order-taker behind the cash register patiently waited for us to make up our mind as we perused the many choices; the workers in the open grill area next to her moved at a unhurried, relaxed, but steady pace.

Although Jody’s prides itself on Chicago-style hot dogs, we decided to veer off that beaten path. We decided on a poor boy (my friend) and a medium rare rib-eye steak sandwich (me), asking whether I could add grilled onions to the mayo, lettuce and tomato (I could).

We split a side of cheese sticks (just because) and a small side of Jody’s fries, ordered extra-crispy as another friend instructed us to do.

Our counter girl jotted our selections on a white paper bag and handed it to the grill staff. The dining room was empty, but carryout orders from other customers kept the phone ringing and the door opening.

Orders placed, we hung out on the red bar stools near the window counter and played on our phones, an ironic contrast to the ’50s decor. When our food arrived, we settled at a table and compared our selections while “Take Good Care of My Baby” played in the background.

The rib-eye and garnishes (my sandwich) arrived exactly as ordered. The

poorboy came smothered in mozzarella cheese with very garlicky butter. However, my friend felt the cheese could have been melted more and the bread toasted.

The cheese sticks? No argument.

My friend loves cheese sticks, which remained hot and crispy throughout the entire meal.

The fries tasted every bit as good as they smelled. BTW, Jody’s idea of a small order would be extra-large somewhere else, something to keep in mind if you decide to stop by and order a large.

My one complaint lay, not in the food or the atmosphere, but in the fact I wound up with only two of the six cheese sticks, while my friend innocently insisted they’d been evenly divided.

No link between vitamin D, disease Dear Doctor: I had my thyroid removed because of papillary cancer, and my surgeon has advised me to take high levels of vitamin D. He says there may be a correlation between low vitamin D levels and the development of cancer and Alzheimer’s disease. If I remember correctly, the normal blood range for vitamin D is between 30 and 60 nanograms per millileter. I take 8,000 units a day, which keeps my blood level near 60 ng/ ml. What’s the evidence for higher levels of vitamin D? Dear Reader: The normal blood level for vitamin D is between 20 and 50 ng/ml. This level – generally considered necessary for good bone health – is recommended by the Institute of Medicine, which conducted a review of studies on the topic. Some organizations, such as the National Osteoporosis Foundation, recommend 30 to 50 ng/ml as the normal range. But both of these recommendations are about good bone health, not the prevention of cancer and Alzheimer’s disease.

The World Health Organization looked at multiple retrospective studies evaluating a potential connection between vitamin D levels and colon cancer. They did find a link between low vitamin D levels and colon cancer, specifically that people with blood levels of 20 ng/ml or less had significantly higher colon cancer rates.

However, retrospective studies look at disease after the disease has happened, and it can be difficult to make a solid correlation that way. A prospective study assessing vitamin D concentrations prior to the diagnosis of colon cancer did not find any evidence that vitamin D levels had any relation to colon cancer.

Studies focused on prostate cancer have shown both benefit and increased risk among people with higher levels of vitamin D, so it would seem that supplementation does not appear to have an impact one way or another.

With regard to breast cancer after meno-

SUDOKU

pause, an analysis of nine prospective studies showed a decrease in breast cancer rates among women with higher levels of vitamin D, but this decrease was not seen in women whose levels were above 35 ng/ml. Still another analysis of 18 studies assessing overall breast cancer risk in women did not find any benefit to vitamin D supplementation.

In summation, there may be slight benefit to minimal supplementation in women after menopause to get their levels to 35 ng/ml to decrease the incidence of breast cancer. But in men, the benefit of reduced cancer risk has not been shown.

In relation to cognitive decline, a study published in the journal Neurology in 2012 showed a slight increase in Alzheimer’s disease in people whose vitamin D levels were lower than 20 ng/ml. The authors concluded that more studies are needed to evaluate the potential connection.

Let’s say that there is a benefit to vitamin D supplementation in lowering the risk of cancer and Alzheimer’s disease. To reach a level of 20 ng/ml, you probably would not need to take more than 400 units of vitamin D per day. For a postmenopausal woman to reach the benefit needed for a possible reduction in the risk of breast cancer, she probably would not need to supplement with any more than 800 units per day.

In light of the evidence, 8,000 units of vitamin D daily seems too high. The blood serum level of 60 ng/ml also may be too high.

Although the topic needs to be studied more, higher amounts of vitamin D could potentially lead to greater bone turnover and possibly weaker bones.

partner’s sister, it would be unfair of me to guess her reason for wanting your daughter in her wedding. However, if your ex is still drinking, you are absolutely right that Jenna should not be traveling with him. Perhaps he would be willing to pay for both of you to be there.

their business the minute you told them you were asexual. The problem is your friend and your mother do not understand what asexuality is – and many people don’t. Please tell your mother for me that marrying a gay man is not the answer because HE may want a sex life, something to which he is entitled, by the way.

As to your friend, she’s well-meaning I’m sure, but misguided.

You are who you are. You’re not going to change, and you should not be punished for it. Please try not to be defensive because this is your chance to educate. Answer their questions with patience and kindness and do not let yourself be bullied or emotionally blackmailed into doing anything you are not comfortable with.

Dear Abby: After my daughter Jenna’s father tried to strangle me in a drunken rage one night, I took her and left. Years later, we are on good terms. I have legal custody. He sends financial support and visits about once a month. My finances, however, are not great.

Because we are not in touch with his extended family, I was surprised when he told me his sister wants Jenna to be a flower girl in her destination wedding. I’m not comfortable sending her alone with her father because of his history of alcohol abuse (which his sister is unaware of). I am not financially able to take her myself.

Is there a solution I’m overlooking? Am I callous for thinking she just wants a cute child as an accessory to her wedding party? –

DEAR ABBY have recently started disclosJeanne ing to close Phillips friends and family that I am asexual (someone who experiences no sexual attraction to any person). For the most part they have been supportive, but my mother and one of my friends are having trouble accepting it.

I have told them I do not want children and that I am repulsed by the thought of sexual intercourse, but my mother acts like if I don’t have children, I won’t be as welcome. She even suggested that I could marry a gay man, so sex wouldn’t be an issue. And my friend continues to pressure me into dating, saying I “just haven’t met the right one yet.”

Abby, I have no clue how to maintain contact with them, as they seem unwilling to let my sexual identity be my business. – An Ace

HOROSCOPE

By EUGENIA LAST

Newspaper Enterprise Association TODAY – A lot will be expected of you. Think about whether it’s in your best interest to take on responsibilities that don’t excite you or bring any sort of restitution for your hard work and long hours. Consider ways to earn more money doing something more enjoyable.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – You need to be the one to decide what’s best for yourself. Look over personal paperwork, contracts or records to find information that will help you make better choices going forward.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Question your motives if someone tries to block or interfere with your achievements. Clear up any misun-

derstanding before you assume a position that requires transparency.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Getting along with your peers will be in your best interest. If you call upon people you have worked with in the past, you’ll be given inside information that will help you advance.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Your ability to express what you want to see happen will encourage others to help you make your plan a success. A chance encounter will result in an unexpected opportunity.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Educate yourself and work hard to achieve your goals. Seek advice from experienced pros, but don’t be afraid to put your own spin on things. Trust in your ability.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Traveling, learning and interacting with interesting people will encourage you to make lifestyle changes. Physical action will bring positive results. Celebrate with someone you love.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Make affordable plans with children, family or a loved one. Living within your means will help you enjoy the day instead of adding to your stress.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Troubles will surface when dealing with domestic or relationship matters. Be willing to compromise and discuss concerns openly. Strive for equality, balance and peace of mind.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Be careful what you share with your peers. Someone will use personal information against you to deter

your progress. Don’t overreact to someone’s argument when you should be countering with facts.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Personal improvements will lead to unexpected gains.

Refuse to let an emotional incident cost you.

Keep your mind on the facts, and move forward with confidence. Romance is encouraged.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – An emotional situation will escalate into an unsavory encounter if you get involved with people who don’t share your values or beliefs. Avoid travel, and proceed with caution.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Bring about positive change. Altering your appearance or methods will make others take notice. Follow through with your plans if you want to prosper.

Oh, Holy St. Jude, Apostle & Martyr, great in virtue and rich in miracle, near kinsman of Jesus Christ, faithful intercessor of all who invoke your special patronage in time of need.

THANKS TO ST. JUDE. DRK

.

The Herald-News Classified It works.

There are so many jokes about mothers-in-law, but I had not heard this one from Mark Twain: “Adam was the luckiest man; he had no mother-in-law.”

That wasn’t the only relative that Adam was lacking.

At the bridge table, you occasionally need to get lucky. In today’s deal, look at the North hand. East opens one diamond, South overcalls four spades, and West passes. What should North do?

In theory, partner has a limited hand with a good eight-card suit.

It looks as though slam will depend on a winning finesse or two in the rounded suits, but given East’s opening bid, they rate to be losing. So, the sensible course is to pass and take the money. But let’s assume North jumps to six spades. How should partner play after a diamond lead?

South starts with only 10 top tricks: seven spades and three sidesuit aces. He needs two more winners from somewhere. Note that even if the club finesse is winning, it will provide only one more trick (assuming West covers the club jack with the king). But if the heart finesse is working, that will produce the necessary winners. So, South should bank everything on the heart finesse. After driving out the spade ace and drawing trumps, he runs the heart jack.

The club loser disappears on dummy’s diamond ace.

(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.
