We’ll continue to do our best to give you the most local news possible I’ll start by thanking the readers who came out to the Joliet chamber expo at the Louis Joliet Mall on Friday. We appreciate the feedback, we know you miss the Saturday paper and we wish there were more local stories in the paper each day. We are doing our best to give you the most local reporting possible on a daily basis, I assure you. An example of that is our series on the heroin crisis that starts in today’s paper and will run over four days. Last year, before I arrived, Lauren Leone-Cross did a great job with a series showing that heroin wasn’t just a problem impacting other people, it impacts all of us. This series will be different in that it goes in depth on the changing face of the heroin crisis, with the increase in fentanyl use, Monday’s story on increased efforts to cut off the stream of heroin into the

VIEWS Jon Styf county, Tuesday’s story on heroin education entering the classroom at younger ages and Wednesday’s story on what Will County government is doing to combat the issue. It’s a problem we might not always want to talk about but one that continues to increase.

Follow-up on gay St. Francis linebacker

Around two weeks ago, Dick Goss wrote a feature story on USF linebacker Kyle Kurdziolek, who had chosen to tell his story of being an openly gay football player to Outsports.com. At the time, it was believed that

Kurdziolek was the only openly gay college football player. As it turns out, that isn’t true. Darrion McAlister, a center at Marian University, was also ready to tell his story. He did so to Gregg Doyel of the Indianapolis Star, saying he had spoken to Kurdziolek, an opponent from last season, about coming out publicly. It was good to see that both told their stories and were happy to speak of the acceptance from teammates and coaches that should make all of them and all of us proud. Maybe, someday, these tales won’t be stories at all because it’s simply the way things are everywhere.

Judge approves $600,000 Rialto loan By BOB OKON

bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A Will County judge on Friday approved a $600,000 loan to the Rialto Square Theatre to pay old bills. The loan comes from the Rialto Square Theatre Foundation, the fundraising arm of the theater, which needed court approval to amend the terms of an endowment. The cash-strapped Rialto has nearly $650,000 in unpaid bills. The loan from the foundation will be used to pay bills that are more than 30 days old, which total closer to $585,000. The loan will not take place immediately. But the foundation has already begun the process of converting investments to cash to provide the money, said Ed Jarot, attorney for the foundation. “We’re over the biggest hump,” Jarot said after a quick hearing in which Judge John Anderson approved the loan. Court approval for the loan was needed because the endowment terms

“We’re going to pay all of our obligations as quickly as we can as resources become available.” Timothy Berry

Rialto Square Theatre interim executive director allowed only interest, not principal, to be spent. The loan uses principal from the endowment fund, which totals about $885,000, Jarot said. The Rialto has agreed to pay the money back at the rate of $50,000 a year. The Rialto also stands to get $250,000 from the city of Joliet after the theater’s governing board this week approved a five-year contract with VenuWorks to manage the theater. The city is providing the Rialto with $500,000 in two installments this year. At least a one-year contract with a management company was required before the city would provide the first $250,000 installment. Rialto officials did not provide a time-

table for when they plan to pay off the bills. “We’re going to pay all of our obligations as quickly as we can as resources become available,” interim Executive Director Timothy Berry said. The Rialto has nearly $100,000 in bills that are more than four months old. Cash-flow problems at the Rialto go back to at least June 2015, when the finance manager told the board that he couldn’t pay the gas bill and had gotten a late notice from Nicor. Problems worsened by late 2015 when the theater fell behind on payroll taxes and needed the city to step in to ensure that acts would get paid. What followed was a tumultuous 2016 in which former Executive Director Randy Green was forced to resign, the theater stopped booking shows for months, and VenuWorks was brought in as an outside management company to run the theater. In December, the entire Rialto board resigned, and a new board has since been put in place.

COVER STORY

Booster drug fentanyl makes heroin easier to supply, more fatal to use By BOB OKON

bokon@shawmedia.com

Note to readers: This is the first installment of a four-day series examining the cause of Will County’s record number of heroin-related deaths in 2016 and efforts to quell the epidemic. The heroin death toll is getting worse because of the man-made additive fentanyl. It’s a drug so powerful that Will County Coroner Patrick O’Neil recently decided to supply his morgue with an opiate antidote to protect workers from accidental overdoses. “We’re getting Narcan for our morgue just in case our people come in contact with any of this,” O’Neil said. Fentanyl is an opioid painkiller contributing to what anti-heroin advocates consider an epidemic that is killing Americans. With nine heroin or opioid-related deaths in the month of January, Will County is on pace to see 108 people die from heroin-related overdoses this year, O’Neil said. In 2016, there were 77 heroin-related deaths in the county. Of those, 32 involved some mixture of fentanyl. More and more, overdose cases are showing a fentanyl mix was used. And, O’Neil said, the victim probably never knew what he or she was getting. “You’d be unsuspecting,” O’Neil said. “There’s no patent on what someone’s getting from the drug dealer. They could be wanting cocaine and getting fentanyl. They could be wanting heroin and getting fentanyl.”

Pain and addiction

Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid used as a prescription drug to manage severe pain after surgery, according to the National Institute of Drug Abuse. Street names for fentanyl or fentanyl-laced heroin include Murder 8, Friend and China Girl. Prescription fentanyl often is used for cancer patients to relieve pain. It typically is used as a patch that’s applied to the skin for gradual release. A heroin addict might smoke it, snort it or inject it. “They’re only increasing the chances of a fatality when this stuff is mixed in,” O’Neil said. A 20-year-old recovering heroin addict who spoke with The Herald-News said she did not really care about the

Will County Coroner Patrick O’Neil is seen Wednesday in Joliet. O’Neil recently decided to supply his morgue with an opiate antidote to protect workers from accidental overdoses. risks involved when she began buying fentanyl patches from a friend in the neighborhood. “I never really thought about it,” said the woman, who is in the recovery program at Stepping Stones in Joliet and did not want her name used. “I was already doing heroin. All bets were off.” But she also said most heroin users don’t know exactly what they’re getting anymore. “A lot of us don’t know that it’s fentanyl in there, and that’s why it’s killing us,” she said.

Lethal mixture

Fentanyl is being mixed into heroin basically as a cheaper additive – not unlike the general idea of using cane sugar substitutes in candy or soda. Except the process is completely uncontrolled, and the potency of fentanyl can be deadly. “This stuff is killing people in num-

Heroin addict in recovery bers that are unbelievable,” said Tim Ryan, a heroin addict in recovery who has stayed off drugs since he was sentenced to prison on a drug charge in 2012. Ryan is the founder of the Man in Recovery Foundation, which helps people fight drug addictions, and said he deals with fentanyl cases on a near-daily basis. Fentanyl use has been around for years, but it has grown significantly in the last two years, he said. “The problem is now a lot of people think they’re using heroin. It’s not,”

he said. “It’s fentanyl.” Typical doses of Narcan, the overdose antidote used for heroin addicts, aren’t enough for a fentanyl overdose. That means families of opiate addicts who keep Narcan in the house may not be prepared for a fentanyl overdose. “You can use five to six doses of Narcan. People don’t have that,” Ryan said. “It’s decimating people.” The availability of heroin and the potential impact of fentanyl is a bigger problem than most people realize, he said. “What people don’t understand is that it’s easier for a kid to get heroin than a six-pack of beer,” he said. Ryan said he has worked with heroin addicts as young as 12. The oldest was 78. Typically, they come from a middle-class background. Most start out getting addicted to painkillers. “Kids are more inclined to try it,”

Search for woman missing for decades continues By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Authorities spent Friday continuing a dig operation at 100 S. Margaret St. in Joliet. Illinois State Police, state crime scene investigators and the FBI were unearthing cement Thursday at the Joliet home, in connection with the 1990 disappearance of a former Will County sheriff’s deputy. The Will County Coroner’s Office has not yet been called to the scene. Coroner Patrick K. O’Neil said his office would be called only if remains were found. On Friday, state police and FBI personnel could be seen removing more cement. They began removing dirt from the basement of the home before noon. The home is near the intersection of West Jefferson Street and Larkin Avenue. “The dig is being conducted in response to new leads provided in the missing persons case of Robin Abrams,” an Illinois State Police news release sent Thursday stated. “The residents of the house are not involved

Law enforcement officials are on the scene Friday of a dig at a Joliet home related to the 1990 disappearance of Robin Abrams. in the case and are being temporarily relocated until the dig is complete.” Neighbors say law enforcement has been at the home since Tuesday, but the large digging operation didn’t start until Thursday morning. A trailer was filled with broken cement pieces and dirt was hauled away about noon Friday. Abrams’ sister, Jody Abrams Walsh, was nearby again Friday after speaking with reporters Thursday

evening. Abrams Walsh has alleged that her sister’s murder was a coverup by the Will County Sheriff’s Office, and she received word that state police have “credible information” that led them to the Joliet home. Abrams last was seen Oct. 4, 1990, on Goodenow Road near her family’s Beecher home, according to Herald-News files. On Oct. 5, her car was found locked, with the keys in the ignition, in resi-

dential Harvey. Her purse was discovered a few blocks from her car. The case was transferred from the sheriff’s office to state police days after Abrams’ disappearance because it was multijurisdictional and because there was speculation it might have been connected with people affiliated with the sheriff’s office, Herald-News files state. At one point in the investigation, there was suspicion Abrams could be buried in a Joliet home’s foundation, but after months of investigating the home, nothing was found. Two years before her disappearance, Abrams ended a short relationship with a man who at the time was the head of the sheriff’s auxiliary police and was married, according to Herald-News files. After the breakup, she was terminated from the sheriff’s office. Abrams filed a lawsuit contesting her firing, in which her ex-lover was listed as a defendant. One of the first hearings in the lawsuit was scheduled for 18 days after she disappeared, Herald-News files state.

Business expo creates unique twist to a trip to the mall By BOB OKON

bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – William Martin took his two grandchildren to the mall Friday, and they walked into a business expo, which was a nice surprise. “The kids are cleaning up,” said Martin of Joliet. “They have kids’ books and flashlights. We’ve got coupons from some food places. It’s a good thing.” Friday was the first of two days for the Joliet Region Chamber of Commerce & Industry Business Expo, which has been held for 17 years at the Louis Joliet Mall. The event continued Saturday from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. The mall creates foot traffic from people such as Martin who were headed there anyway and provides extra exposure for the businesses, nonprofits and government agencies that set up booths. “We get the customers who maybe would not have heard of us, but they’re walking through the mall,” said Joe Longo with EcoWater Systems. Longo said he had talked with about 10 people Friday morning with questions about water, especially about lead and bacterial contamination. EcoWater has removal systems for that, he

Wolf’s Sealcoating, which seals driveways and parking lots, has had a booth at the mall expo for about 16 years, co-owner Tina Wolf said. “We get a lot of leads here,” Wolf said. “We pass out our coupons here,

and we get them turned in throughout the year. So it does work.” The expo for the first time was combined with a job fair this year. About 30 employers set up booths looking for workers. Space was set aside where applications could be filled out and inter-

views could be conducted. More than 90 exhibitors took part in the expo and job fair. They included Nick Zelehovitis and his brother, Anthony Zelehovitis, students at TM Martial Arts. The brothers demonstrated their skills in front of the booth, capturing the attention of mall shoppers. “We’re throwing kicks and doing trapping tricks,” Nick said. “We’re just trying to catch people’s eyes.” Institutions with high profiles also were at the expo to draw attention to not-so-familiar services that they offer. Home visitors with Easterseals’ Jump Start program talked about how they make personal visits to families that qualify to provide support services for parents and small children. “Most people don’t know what we do,” Sheree Pentoney said. Most people she met at the mall had heard of Easterseals, she said, but, “I met one person here familiar with what we do specifically.” Mall manager Eric Loula said Louis Joliet Mall is happy to host the expo. “The expo is well received every year,” Loula said. “It’s important to us. We really want to be a center in the community.”

Ira Jones Middle School students’ underwater robot is seen. The students will compete in a regional competition held by the Shedd Aquarium in April.

By FELIX SARVER

fsarver@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – Ira Jones Middle School students who build underwater robots plan to compete in a regional competition held by the Shedd Aquarium in April. Students who are part of the Ira Jones ROV PROpellers team build and design a remotely operated vehicle that can function underwater. The students work with tools, waterproofing materials and computer code to build the ROV. They also work on marketing their creation, explain their design process to engineers and “sell” their machine. “It’s really a real-world application, as if they’re inventing something and bringing it through to market,” said Stephanie Manno, an Ira Jones seventh-grade science teacher. The students are learning about teamwork, design, working with tools such as soldering irons, buoyancy, computer code and more, she said. She said the team partners with the C.W. Avery Family YMCA to use their pool to test the robot. “The team is very fun. We have a good group,” said Youanna Ibrahim, a seventh-grader who is a marketing manager for the team. The students plan to compete in the Shedd Midwest regional competition held in April at Northern Illinois University. They hope to earn a spot in the Marine Advanced Technology Education Center’s ROV international competition this June in Califor-

nia. The MATE Center is a national partnership of organizations working to improve marine technical education and prepare the future workforce for ocean occupations, according to its website. Manno said she started the Ira Jones ROV PROpellers four years ago through a grant funded by the Shedd Aquarium for which a kit packed with tools and materials was provided. “It was everything we needed to make a complete working underwater robot,” Manno said. She said she and another teacher attended training sessions to learn how to use the equipment and teach it to the students. She said she is just the facilitator as the students design and build the robot. “It’s all their ideas,” she said. Manno said the students are looking forward to the upcoming competition in April. “We’re a little bit further in our process at this point, which shows their organization and how focused they are,” she said.

10 Multi-vehicle crash closes northbound lanes on Interstate 55 near Channahon By ANNA SCHIER

aschier@shawmedia.com All three lanes of northbound Interstate 55 near Channahon were closed during the morning rush hour Friday after a crash involving a semitrailer and multiple passenger vehicles. The incident occurred at 6:52 a.m. just north of Interstate 80, when a passenger vehicle drove into the semitrail-

er, according to Illinois State Police District 5. As of about 9 a.m., the semitrailer was on its side across all three lanes of the roadway and northbound traffic was traveling on the I-80 merge ramp and I-55’s right shoulder, state police said. There were no injuries and state police expected lanes would reopen by 9:30 a.m.

Police investigate 2 Joliet shooting incidents

JOLIET – No one was injured in two unrelated shooting incidents Friday night in Joliet. The first occurred about 10:15 p.m. on Houbolt Road at Olympic Boulevard near the Joliet Junior College housing units. Lt. Dennis McWherter said the occupant of a gold Ford minivan rolled down the window and fired several shots toward another vehicle. The minivan then drove off toward Interstate 80. The other vehicle was not struck, but police did recover shells from the scene, McWherter said. The second incident occurred about midnight in the 1800 block of Towhee Court near Larkin and Ingalls avenues. A resident reported hearing a shot outside and one round came through the west wall of the residence. No one was injured. McWherter said Saturday that no suspect information was available.

Rialto books Loretta Lynn, working on more big acts By BOB OKON

bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Loretta Lynn is coming to the Rialto Square Theatre, which is bringing in big acts again after a year in which it stopped booking shows for nearly six months. The Rialto announced Friday that Lynn will perform at 7:30 p.m. Sept. 8. Tickets will go on sale March 3. Lynn is a legendary performer whose songs, including “Coal Miner’s Daughter,” are among the classics in country music. She is in both the Country Music Hall of Fame and the Country Gospel Music Hall of Fame. She received a Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2013. In 1972, Lynn was the first woman named the Country Music Association’s Entertainer of the Year. Lynn’s performance is the second big act announced at the Rialto in two weeks. The theater announced Feb. 17 that it had booked Olivia Newton-John. Tickets for the May 11 Newton-John performance first went on sale Friday. Rialto Interim Executive Director Timothy Berry said at noon that ticket sales for the first two hours were “very strong.” “I think I can say with confidence at noon today that sales [for Newton-John] were stronger than Ron White was,” Berry said. Ticket sales for comedian Ron White went so well that the Rialto added a second show for his appearance Feb. 17. The first show sold out at the 1,926-seat theater. An additional 700 tickets were sold for the second show. White, Newton-John and Lynn have all been booked by VenuWorks, which arrived in September to manage the theater at a time when the Rialto had stopped booking shows as it looked for a professional firm to take

over operations. VenuWorks is working on its second short-term contract at the Rialto. But the Rialto board last week approved a five-year contract with the company. Other top performers brought in by VenuWorks have included Kacey Musgraves, a rising country music star, and Ronnie Milsap, a classic country musician. Berry said VenuWorks is working on other shows yet to be announced, adding that Joliet provides a “rich and diverse marketplace” that can support big acts. Ticket prices for Loretta Lynn’s performance will be $49, $59 and $79, although the Rialto announcement notes that additional fees may apply. Tickets will be available online at Ticketmaster.com and by phone at 800-745-3000. More information is available at www.rialtosquare.com.

honor of Bott’s 32 years of service at the district and his role in the acquisition and development of the park. It was formerly called Renwick Community Park. The recreation center will be built at that 58-acre park, which already includes a playground, picnic areas, concessions, trails, a basketball court, baseball fields and a skate park. Park district board President Mary Kay Ludemann said the plan has been in the works for decades. “It was thought of when Bott Park was originally designed,” she said. “The infrastructure was planned into the design of that park for this purpose.”

The current project timeline is as follows:

• Sunday, February 26, 2017

PLAINFIELD – The Plainfield Township Park District is getting closer to seeing a long-planned recreation center come to life. Twenty architecture firms and 17 construction managers applied to work on the project, park district Executive Director Carlo J. Capalbo said. This comes after voters approved a referendum in November that allows the district to improve neighborhood parks and facilities and build a new recreation center with bonds in the amount of $10.5 million. With internal costs, the recreation center is expected to be about $7.5 million with $7 million of the cost coming from the voter-approved referendum. The district is lacking in indoor facilities for a community of its size, officials say. The park district has agreements with Plainfield schools to use facilities when available, but sometimes the district is forced to cancel events due to scheduling conflicts. “The biggest goal the board identified was a need for gym space,” Capalbo said. “We have a great relationship with the school district, but we have nothing of our own.” In August, the district renamed a park at 24550 W. Renwick Road as Gregory B. Bott Community Park, in

• In March, the top firms will make presentations to the park district board. • In April, a contract will be negotiated between the district and the top firms that are selected. The board will have to approve that contract the same month for the project to move forward. The district hopes to have bids out in the latter part of 2017. The hope is to complete construction on the building in October or November of 2018. “We will have a more official completion timeline as we get closer to construction,” Capalbo said.

• DEADLY MIXTURES

“Pushers don’t have to worry about product liability.”

Continued from page 3

said John Roberts, a police official who started the Heroin Epidemic Relief Organization after his own son died from an overdose. “It’s just everywhere. Part of it is that the nasty part of getting high is no longer part of it.” The “nasty part,” Roberts said, is the syringe and needles typically associated with heroin use. Purer forms of the drug make it possible to snort and smoke it. Heroin is becoming more efficient and less expensive to use. Fentanyl is making it more efficient and less expensive to make. “It increases the return on the product by increasing the potency,” Roberts said. “That’s what’s killing people, is you’re using a really strong dosage that just wasn’t mixed properly.” Authorities in the Cleveland and Louisville areas have been looking into the impact of fentanyl on recent rashes of overdoses. Roberts believes such spikes typically are associated with badly mixed combinations of fentanyl and heroin. “A pharmaceutical company goes to great lengths. They have to because of liability,” Roberts said. “Pushers don’t have to worry about product liability.” One answer, he said, might be to in-

John Roberts

Heroin Epidemic Relief Organization founder crease the criminal liability that pushers face if someone dies from a heroin overdose. Another might be to get a better handle on fentanyl production, much of which is believed to originate in China. The Chinese government this month stated it intends to crack down on illegitimate fentanyl production. U.S. Rep. Bill Foster, D-Naperville, said the Chinese are becoming increasingly aware of the problem. But fentanyl is produced in the United States, too, he said. Foster, who has made opioid abuse prevention one of his top priorities, said growing awareness among doctors, who prescribe painkillers, also will help. He said doctors increasingly are being instructed to advise patients of the potential impact of the painkillers they prescribe. “There’s this ladder of misery in the potency of opioids coming at us,” Foster said. “If you consider morphine as a one, heroin is 10 times more potent than morphine, and fentanyl is 100 times more potent.”

News from across the state

Illinois lawmaker aims to lift noise suppressors ban

SPRINGFIELD – An Illinois lawmaker is looking to legalize the possession of noise suppressors in Illinois in order to reduce the risk of hearing damage from shooting a gun. The bill proposed by Democratic Sen. William Haine of Alton is among dozens of firearm-related bills that have been introduced by Illinois lawmakers this year, The State Journal-Register reported. Haine said noise from firearms is a public health concern for hunters and those who shoot for sport. “It’s the nature of a public health

concern, for hunters and sportsmen. It saves them from significant hearing loss for people who use firearms for sports,” he said. “It’s not a silencer, it’s a suppressor. There still would be noise, but it’s reduced, so it wouldn’t damage the user’s hearing nearly as much.” According to the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association, shooters without ear protection can suffer a severe hearing loss from as few as one shot.

Report: State senator’s law firm dealings under scrutiny

CHICAGO – A newspaper report says a suburban Chicago legislator works at a law firm that’s been paid $9 million over five years for doing legal work for state agencies, government workers’ pension funds and local governments. The Chicago Sun-Times examined

business conducted by Burke Burns & Pinelli in Chicago where Democratic Sen. Don Harmon is a partner. The newspaper reported that work was done for more than 20 government bodies including Cook County and the city of Chicago. The firm also has worked on budgets the Oak Park legislator voted on, including for the Illinois Department of Transportation.

Theft at auto dealership leads to police chase

TINLEY PARK – Authorities said thieves broke into a Tinley Park car dealership, stole five vehicles and fled to Interstate 57. The theft, which led to a police chase, occurred after 11 p.m. Friday at Bettenhausen Automotive in Tinley Park. Authorities recovered one of the vehicles immediately. Other drivers were last

seen on Interstate 57. The vehicles include a 2013 Dodge Charger and 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Dealership owners are working with authorities and reviewing surveillance video of the lot.

Midwest delivery company closes doors after 70 years

MADISON, Wis. – A Minnesota-based delivery company that at one time had 11 warehouse locations in six states has closed its doors nearly 70 years after it was founded in Madison. The Wisconsin State Journal reported that that Dunham Express ceased operations on Feb. 10. An order establishing a receivership filed in Minneapolis on Jan. 18 had revealed the company owed nearly $8 million to lenders and creditors it was unable to pay.

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS High court weighs Facebook ban for sex offenders

RALEIGH, N.C. – Fresh from a trip to traffic court, Lester Packingham Jr. celebrated his turn of good fortune by announcing to friends on Facebook that his pending ticket was dismissed without him saying a word. “No fine. No Court costs. No nothing. Praise be to God. Wow. Thanks, Jesus,” Packingham wrote in a 2010 post that led to a lawsuit being heard by the U.S. Supreme Court on Monday. Packingham, 36, was forbidden by a 2008 North Carolina law from using commercial social networking sites such as Facebook that children could join. That’s because he’s a registered sex offender who was convicted of indecent liberties with a minor when he was 21. He served 10 months in prison. Now the Supreme Court’s task is deciding whether the law, meant to prevent communications between sex offenders and minors via social media, is so broad that it violates the Constitution’s freespeech protections.

months ago, a longtime neighbor said Saturday. Andy Berthelsen said his neighbor Adam Purinton, who is charged with murder and attempted murder in Wednesday’s attack, was very close to his father, who died of pancreatic cancer. He said in the past year, Purinton bounced from one menial job to the next and was sometimes drunk by mid-morning. But in the 15 years he’s lived across the street from Purinton in Olathe, Berthelsen said he’s never heard him make a racist remark or talk politics.

Dems invite immigrants to Trump’s speech to Congress By KEVIN FREKING

The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – Democrats have invited immigrants and foreigners to President Donald Trump’s first address to Congress in an effort to put a face on those who could be hurt by the Republican’s policies. Lawmakers typically get one guest ticket apiece for presidential addresses, as they will for Tuesday’s primetime speech, and the invites often go to family, friends or someone from back home. To send a message to Trump, Democrats have invited the Iraqi-American doctor who discovered elevated levels of lead in the blood of many children living in Flint, Michigan; a Pakistani-born doctor who delivers critical care to patients in Rhode Island; and an American-born daughter of Palestinian refugees who aids people like her family in their quest to come to the U.S. “I want Trump to see the face of a woman, the face of a Muslim, and the face of someone whose family has enriched and contributed to this country despite starting out as refugees,” said Rep. Luis Gutiérrez, D-Ill., whose guest Tuesday will be Fidaa Rashid, a Chicago immigration attorney. Soon after taking office, Trump issued an executive order temporarily banning all entry to the U.S. from seven Muslim-majority nations and pausing the entire U.S. refugee program. The order sparked worldwide confusion about who was covered by the edict, with thousands gathering at airports and in other settings to protest. An appeals court blocked the order. Trump has said he will issue another order along similar lines. Trump has also expanded the range of immigrants living in the country illegally who have become a priority for removal. The president has argued that the steps are necessary to

One of the people caught up in Trump’s executive order was Sara Yarjani, a 35-yearold Iranian graduate student studying in California. She was held at Los Angeles International Airport for nearly 23 hours before being sent back to Vienna, Austria, where she had been visiting family. She was able to resume her studies at the California Institute for Human Sciences after a judge halted implementation of Trump’s order. She’ll attend Trump’s speech as a guest of Rep. Judy Chu, D-Calif. “Mr. Trump needs to see the people he has hurt,” Chu said. The focus on welcoming immigrants will also extend to the response that Democratic leaders plan for Trump’s speech. Astrid Silva, who was brought into the United States as a young child, will provide the Spanish-language rebuttal; former Kentucky Gov. Steve Beshear will give the standard opposition-party response. Under President Barack Obama, hundreds of thousands of unauthorized youth brought into the country as children were given a reprieve from deportation. While Trump vowed to immediately end the Deferred

Action for Childhood Arrivals program during the campaign, he has kept it in place as president. All will be on high alert for any Joe Wilson moments in Trump’s first speech to a joint session of Congress since his inaugural address. Wilson, a longtime Republican congressman from South Carolina, shouted, “You lie!” as Obama addressed Congress in 2009 about his health care plan. The debate over “Obamacare” sparked strong emotions on both sides of the aisle, much as Trump’s executive order and statements on immigration have done. Trump’s comments on immigration play well with his supporters, but unnerve some Republicans who represent congressional districts with quickly growing immigrant populations. Rep. Dan Kildee, D-Mich., invited a constituent he describes as a hero for helping to expose the Flint water crisis. He said Dr. Mona Hanna-Attisha came to the U.S. with her Iraqi parents, who were fleeing the regime of Saddam Hussein. She has recently questioned whether her family would have been allowed into the country under the policies of the Trump administration.

Pre-existing conditions complicate health care law By CARLA K. JOHNSON and RICARDO ALONSO–ZALDIVAR The Associated Press

CHICAGO – As Republicans try to unite around a replacement for the Affordable Care Act, one of the most popular parts of the law will be among the most difficult to replace: the guarantee of health coverage for people with pre-existing conditions. The challenge of providing insurance for Americans who have no other alternative has some congressional Republicans considering whether to ask the states to reboot high-risk pools, an option with a rocky history. In the past, the pools served as insurers of last resort for people in poor health who could not get an individual policy from a commercial insurer. “It’s definitely a hand-off to the states,” said economist Douglas HoltzEakin, who has reviewed the GOP plans and a recent briefing document for members of Congress. “It’s a commitment for money. It doesn’t say how much.” The health care law requires insurance companies to cover people with serious medical problems at the same premium prices as everyone else. President Donald Trump has said he wants to “keep pre-existing conditions,” but he has not said how. As they returned home during the recent congressional recess, some lawmakers received an earful from people concerned about possible GOP health care changes. “I’m really angry about it,” said Vicki Tosher, a 64-year-old breast cancer patient in Englewood, Colorado, who

likes the subsidized health plan she buys through the Affordable Care Act for $345 a month. Whatever happens, the effects could be broadly felt. The nonpartisan Kaiser Family Foundation estimates that 27 percent of adults under age 65 have health conditions that would likely leave them uninsurable under practices that existed before the health care overhaul. Some Republicans said they will preserve protection for pre-existing conditions, but with a catch. People would have to maintain continuous coverage before earning the protection – for 18 months in the plan offered by former Rep. Tom Price, Trump’s health secretary. Those who go without coverage or who never had insurance could buy a policy through a state-run high-risk pool. High-risk pools have been tried be-

fore, with mixed results. It worked like this: Sick people with problems ranging from arthritis to congestive heart failure were placed in a separate insurance pool, with government and insurance companies helping to cover costs. They were also charged higher rates, up to double the amount paid by consumers with no serious ailments. In the more than 30 states that had high-risk pools, net losses piled up to more than $1.2 billion in 2011, the height of the pools before the Affordable Care Act took full effect. The programs covered about 225,000 Americans back then. Most pools had lifetime and annual limits on coverage. Some imposed waiting periods of up to a year for coverage of a pre-existing condition. Some states offered income-based assistance. Most did not.

Before the health law, Tosher was insured in a high-risk pool and paid twice as much for coverage. “It’s unfair. It’s kind of like living in a ghetto,” she said. Returning to a system in which insurers could charge any amount to people with pre-existing conditions “is a major concern for me.” Tosher, a self-employed editor, told her story during a rally outside Republican Sen. Cory Gardner’s office a few weeks ago. She’s among the many constituents who have called, protested or written to their lawmakers in support of the Obama-era health care law. Until the health care overhaul, most states allowed insurers to quiz applicants for regular individual policies with lengthy questionnaires, including details about the health of each family member. Insurers could review medical and pharmacy records. A prescription for insulin for diabetes or an immunosuppressant for arthritis could mean a denial of coverage. Insurers automatically denied individual coverage for people with cancer, cerebral palsy, congestive heart failure and many other conditions. Or they excluded certain conditions and even family members in the coverage they offered. In every state that ran a high-risk pool in 2011, medical expenses outpaced premiums, and losses averaged $5,500 per enrollee. States used fees and taxes to make up the difference. “High-risk pools have been government’s attempt to get at the issue of access to health insurance,” said Al Redmer Jr., Maryland’s insurance commissioner and a leader in the National Association of Insurance Commissioners.

Border agents detain Muhammad Ali’s son at Florida airport By BRUCE SCHREINER The Associated Press

Muhammad Ali’s son, who bears the boxing great’s name, was detained by immigration officials at a Florida airport and questioned about his ancestry and religion in what amounted to unconstitutional profiling, a family friend said Saturday. Returning from a Black History Month event in Jamaica, Muhammad Ali Jr. and his mother, Khalilah Camacho Ali, were pulled aside and separated from each other on Feb. 7 at the immigration checkpoint at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, said Chris Mancini, a family friend and attorney. Camacho Ali was released a short time later after showing a photo of herself with her ex-husband, the former heavyweight boxing champion, Mancini said. But Ali Jr. was not carrying a photo

of his world-famous father – a recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Ali Jr., 44, who confirmed his Muslim faith, was detained about two hours, despite telling officials that he’s Ali’s son and a native-born U.S. citizen, Mancini said. It was the first time Ali Jr. and his mother have ever been asked whether they’re Muslim when re-entering the U.S., he said. “From the way they were treated, from what was said to them, they can come up with no other rational explanation except they fell into a profiling program run by customs, which is designed to obtain information from anyone who says they’re a Muslim,” Mancini said in a phone interview. “It’s quite clear that what triggered his detention was his Arabic name and his religion.” U.S. Customs and Border Protection spokesman Daniel Hetlage confirmed Saturday evening that Ali Jr. was held for questioning by customs officers,

but said “it wasn’t because he’s a Muslim and it wasn’t because of his Arabic-sounding name.” The agency said in a statement that its officers process more than 1.2 million international travelers daily with “vigilance and in accordance with the law.” It said it does not discriminate based on religion, race, ethnicity or sexual orientation. “We treat all travelers with respect and sensitivity,” the agency said. “Integrity is our cornerstone. We are guided by the highest ethical and moral principles.” During his detention, Ali Jr. was asked repeatedly about his lineage and his name, “as if that was a pre-programmed question that was part of a profile,” Mancini said. Ali Jr. and his mother have been frequent global travelers. The family connects their treatment to President Donald Trump’s efforts to restrict im-

migration after calling during his campaign for a ban on Muslims entering the U.S. “This has never happened to them before,” Mancini said. “They’re asked specifically about their Arabic names. Where they got their names from and whether they’re Muslims. It doesn’t take much to connect those dots to what Trump is doing.” Camacho Ali and Ali Jr. live in Florida. They have not traveled abroad since, and are considering filing a federal lawsuit, he said. Asked why the matter was just now coming to light, Mancini said: “Khalilah had prior commitments as did I and when she finally got in to see me for a legal opinion of what they did, I brought it to the media immediately.” Ali, the three-time heavyweight champion and humanitarian, died last June at age 74 after a long battle with Parkinson’s disease.

Former Labor Secretary Tom Perez speaks during the general session of the DNC winter meeting Saturday in Atlanta. Ellison, who had backing from many liberals, including 2016 presidential candidate Bernie Sanders, added his own call for unity and noted that he and Perez both want to rebuild state and local Democratic parties across the country. “We don’t have the luxury of walking out of this room divided,” Ellison said,

as the erstwhile rivals stood together on stage as some young Ellison supporters jeered from the gallery. Trump chimed in via Twitter: “Congratulations to Thomas Perez, who has just been named Chairman of the DNC. I could not be happier for him, or for the Republican Party!”

Deadly insurgent attack weighs on U.N.-led Syria talks By JAMEY KEATEN and DOMINIQUE SOGUEL The Associated Press

GENEVA – A deadly terrorist attack in central Syria on Saturday threatened to thwart efforts to wrest a political solution at peace talks in Geneva, with the U.N. mediator decrying “spoilers” who try to derail the efforts to end the country’s disastrous sixyear war. The government’s envoy demanded a firm condemnation from all opposition groups of the synchronized attacks by insurgents on security offices in Homs that left dozens dead, while the opposition retorted that it has long denounced terrorism – even suggesting it may have been an inside job. “Any party that refuses to condemn these attacks today, we will consider that party to be an accomplice of terrorism,” Syria’s U.N. ambassador, Bashar al-Ja’afari, told reporters after meeting U.N. envoy Staffan de Mistura in the third day of renewed peace talks – with the sides meeting separately with him so far. The talks are the first under U.N. mediation in nearly 10 months and build upon a fragile, repeatedly violated cease-fire that was wrested by Russia and Turkey. Moscow has been a powerful military and political back-

er of Syrian President Bashar Assad’s government, and Turkey has been a supporter of key rebel groups. They also come after Syria’s Russia- and Iran-backed troops regained control of the key northern city of Aleppo in December. Al-Ja’afari stopped short of suspending the government’s participation outright, but said a condemnation of the attacks was a “test” for the fragmented opposition. He said his side would return to meet with the U.N. envoy again on Tuesday, and said its only condition for face-to-face talks with a

“unified, patriotic opposition.” An al-Qaida-linked group, known now as the Levant Liberation Committee, claimed responsibility for the twin attacks against government security offices in Homs, killing at least 32, including a senior officer of the feared Military Intelligence Services. Al-Ja’afari described the attack as a bid by states sponsoring terrorism to derail the talks. He singled out Saudi Arabia and Turkey, the two main backers of an array of opposition groups, as states lending support to terrorist groups.

Syria’s top opposition delegates said they condemned terrorism but not specifically the Homs attack, all but suggesting it may have been carried out by Assad’s own supporters. Nasr al-Hariri, head of the main opposition negotiating team, condemned terrorism by the so-called Islamic State group and al-Qaida’s affiliates, but said the Damascus government was the primary “sponsor of terrorism.” “If the Homs attack specifically was a terrorist attack carried by any of these terrorist groups, it is clear what I say,” he said. Col. Faleh Hassoun, another member of the delegation, alleged that only people with security clearances could access the government’s security office in Homs. He suggested it was aimed to rid the government’s ranks of possible war criminals. “What really happened today, we can call it liquidation by the regime of those who are wanted for international courts,” he told reporters at a Geneva hotel. Hassoun also alleged that military intelligence services chief Maj. Gen Hassan Daeboul, who was killed in Saturday’s attack, had been implicated in the assassination of Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri in Beirut in 2005. Syria’s government is widely believed to have played a role in the killing.

ATLANTA – Democrats chose former Labor Secretary Tom Perez as their new national chairman Saturday over a liberal Minnesota congressman, capping a divisive campaign that reflected the depths of the party’s electoral failures as well as the energy from resistance to President Donald Trump. Perez, the first Latino to hold the post, edged Rep. Keith Ellison in the second round of voting by Democratic National Committee members gathered in Atlanta. The new chairman must rebuild a party that in the last decade has lost about 1,000 elected posts from the White House to Congress to the 50 statehouses, a power deficit Democrats have not seen nationally in 90 years. In a nod to his winning margin of 35 votes out of 435 cast, to say nothing of the lingering friction between old-guard Democrats and outspoken upstarts, Perez tapped Ellison to serve as deputy chairman. “We are all in this together,” Perez said, calling on Democrats to fight “the worst president in the history of the United States.”

Republicans control the White House, Congress and 33 governorships, while the GOP is one Senate confirmation from a conservative majority on the Supreme Court. Despite President Barack Obama’s personal electoral successes, the party suffered crushing defeats, losing the House majority in 2010 and the Senate in 2014. Perez told party activists earlier in the day that Democrats face a “crisis of confidence” and “a crisis of relevance.” The new chairman first entered the race upon urging from Obama and his inner circle. The former president released a statement praising both men after the vote. “I know that Tom Perez will unite us under that banner of opportunity,” Obama said, “and lay the groundwork for a new generation of Democratic leadership for this big, bold, inclusive, dynamic America we love so much.” The son of Dominican immigrants, Perez comes to the job with a demonstrably liberal record as a civil rights attorney and backer of organized labor, but he carried the establishment label as a Maryland resident who’s spent years in the Washington orbit, working in the Justice Department and ultimately as an Obama Cabinet officer.

Colombian bar honors soccer players killed in crash LUIS BENAVIDES

The Associated Press MEDELLIN, Colombia – It’s just like many little sports bars around the world: Photos of members of a favorite team line the walls, young men smiling proudly in their uniforms. In this case, however, it’s a team from the other side of the continent – and one with a tragic connection to the residents here in the Colombian city of Medellin. All but three of the photos are in somber black and white, honoring players who died when a charter plane went down near Medellin on Nov. 28, wiping out nearly the entire Chapecoense team from Brazil. The tragedy shook the soccer world and resonated especially strongly in this Andean city. For one Colombian couple, the best way to pay homage to the players was to open a bar named for the team. The owners serve food on napkins with the team’s name and hand out keychains with Chapecoense’s green-andwhite logo while games featuring teams from around the world play in the background. “People come here every day,” said Juan David Pemberty, 25, one of the owners. “They feel a bit of nostalgia.

Juan David Pemberty is seen Feb. 18 in the bar he opened in Medellin, Colombia, with his wife in honor of the Brazilian soccer team Chapecoense. All but three of the players photos are in somber black and white, honoring those who died when a charter plane went down Nov. 28 near Medellin. They feel a bit of happiness to see that they are being paid homage to.” Chapecoense was headed to Medellin for the finals of one of South America’s premier soccer tournaments. The match was supposed to cap a breakout season in which the largely unknown team from a small city in southern Brazil captivated

that soccer-loving nation just two years after making it into the first division for the first time since the 1970s. According to a leaked recording of the flight’s final minutes, a pilot of the Bolivian-registered charter plane told air-traffic controllers he had run out fuel and pleaded for permission to

land. The plane then crashed into the Andes, killing all but six of the 77 people on board. Pemberty and his wife reject the notion they’re profiting from tragedy, or playing to morbid curiosity. The couple had already been working on plans to open a soccer-themed bar named Red and Green, in honor of the colors of the city’s two soccer teams. They say they found themselves deeply affected by the crash and decided to change plans and honor those who had died instead. “We couldn’t believe it,” he said. “We were speechless.” As fans throughout the soccer world mourned the team’s loss, the two set out to find a photograph of every player. “It was difficult because it’s a small team and there is almost no information about them on social media,” he said. In early February, they opened the “Chapecoense Cafe-Bar.” A majority of the clients are tourists, especially Brazilians. “They leave happy because they see that we are paying homage to something that was a part of them,” Pemberty said. Customers taking in games and snacks said the bar is a testament to how Colombians embraced the team in the aftermath of tragedy.

Dear Mr. Berko: I need your opinion on NextEra. I bought 250 shares of FPL Group in 2006 at $55, and that company has since changed its name to NextEra Energy. I need to know whether I should sell these shares and take a profit. My great stockbroker, who has been advising me for 20 years, wants me to keep the stock. But my husband – who is suddenly taking an interest in our account, which I’ve managed for the past 25 years – wants it sold. He is a recently retired certified public accountant and is insisting that we sell it because it trades at a big premium to other utilities. His interference is causing friction in our 30-year marriage. – RD, Durham, N.C. Dear RD: It’s tough when a spouse

who has been employed for 40 years or so suddenly retires. I can’t imagine a single reason to sell NextEra Energy. You have owned this stock for 10 years and have more than doubled your investment. I suggest that you consider divorcing your husband and marrying your stockbroker. Then continue holding this great Florida utility for another 10 years, because your investment could double again. NextEra Energy (NEE-$127), former-

TAKING STOCK Malcolm Berko ly known as FPL Group, provides power to 5 million consumers residing in a 27,650-square-mile area of South Florida’s eastern coast, primarily Miami and Fort Lauderdale. This $16 billion-revenue company has a superb record of dividend growth, increasing annually from $1.50 in 2006 to $3.48 in 2016. This has been made possible by management’s skillful reduction in and elimination of fixed and variable expenses. However, the current dividend yields a very lonely 2.6 percent, and NEE’s revenue growth – from $15.7 billion in 2006 to $16.2 billion last year – has been flat as a flapjack. But all that’s about to change. After 50-plus failed years of the United States’ idiotic policy toward Cuba, the current warming of relations with Cuba will be a boon to the economy of South Florida, especially Miami, where Spanish has become the lingua franca. Some 11.7 million Cubans live on their 777-mile-long island and have, according to the World Bank, over 208 billion

of purchasing power parity (to the U.S. dollar) and a gross national income of 18,500 purchasing power parity. Only 26 percent of the population is connected to the internet, and even fewer have smartphones and cars. Some observers believe that detente with Cuba could grow the economy of South Florida by 10 to 12 percent while goosing NextEra’s revenues and income. These observers think that by 2021, Cuban detente could increase NEE’s revenues to $20 billion, improve earnings to $7.40 a share and grow its dividend to $5.60. NEE is purchasing Oncor – the biggest electric utility in Texas, with 7.5 million customers – for $18.4 billion, and I’ve not included Oncor in these projections. The Oncor deal should close in June and could very nicely increase NEE’s revenues, earnings and dividend payout. Though NEE trades at a premium to its peers, Argus Research has a longterm “buy” rating for six reasons: 1) NEE has a cozy relationship with the Florida Public Service Commission, and rate increases won’t be contentious. 2) Argus expects earnings growth to be well above average as the South Florida economy strengthens and NEE’s rate base expands.

3) Argus expects NEE to continue increasing its investment in renewables via its 80 percent stake in NextEra Energy Partners LP (NEP-$30). 4) Argus expects NEE to continue to reduce risks through new contracts and balance sheet improvement. 5) Argus expects management to maintain tight focus on shareholder value. 6) Argus believes that management will continue to raise dividends by 8 to 9 percent annually over the next five years. Therefore, Argus has a 12-month price projection of $138. And I feel compelled to add to the third reason above: NEP has become one of the world’s largest renewable generation companies. NEP has an impressive wind and solar portfolio, which complements NEE’s portfolio of nuclear and combined-cycle gas turbines. And on a standalone basis, NEP would qualify as a top-15 utility. Last year, NEP contributed about $1.1 billion to NEE’s revenues and about $2.40 to NEE’s share earnings. That’s not unimpressive!

BUSINESS BRIEFS Midland States Bank Foundation announces contributions

The Midland States Bank Foundation announced contributions last week to the Greater Joliet YMCA, the University of St. Francis and the Presence Covenant Medical Center of Urbana. The contributions, totaling $45,000, go toward supporting each organization’s community assistance programs. The Greater Joliet YMCA received $10,000 to support the organization’s Teen Achievers program, which gives students a chance to grow as young adults and meet professionals in the area. “The grant from the Midland State Bank Foundation will truly help us change the trajectory of the lives of Joliet teens. Their support will provide many at-risk young adults with mentorship, college readiness, and encourage them to set and achieve high personal and educational goals,” Julie Wilkinson, Senior Director of Development at the Greater Joliet YMCA, said in a news release. The University of St. Francis received $25,000 in support of the University’s

scholarship fund, as well as the purchase of a table at the 60th annual Caritas Scholarship Ball. The university provides $17.8 million in gift assistance to students each year. “The incredible generosity of the Joliet and Will County communities continues to inspire and affirm the important work that is being done by the University of St. Francis,” St. Francis presiden Arvid Johnson said in a press release. “Each and every dollar raised at Caritas directly supports our students’ preparation to contribute to the world through service and leadership.” The Presence Covenant Medical Center has received a $10,000 contribution toward the organization’s PRO Abumlance Service. The funds will be used to purchase safety equipment for EMT Personnel with Pro Ambulance in Champaign County. “We are very greatful for the support of Midland States Bank to help us help our community with dental issues, through the partnership of SMILE Health and Promise Healthcare, by supporting our adult mobile dental clinics,” commented Sheri Ervin, the Regional Community Health Integration

It makes sense to keep utility, NextEra

OPINIONS OUR VIEW

Amazon’s tech to help area students Thumbs-up: To Amazon, for donating Fire Kids Edition tablets and gift cards to schools around the area, including Joliet’s A.O. Marshall Elementary. Yes, Amazon wanted the public to be aware of the donations and The Herald-News received more than a handful of calls along with repeated emails from Amazon reps asking us to cover the event, but ultimately the technology will help students and that is the key. Thumbs-down : To the tax oversight that led Joliet to hire Azavar Government Solutions to track down uncollected tax dollars. This week, Azavar reported to the city that it found $400,000 worth of tax dollars that were not collected due to an oversight with utilities in areas that were annexed by Joliet. The Joliet taxes had not been collected by the utilities and sent on to the city in those areas. Azavar also has proposed the city use its system to allow business owners to file food and beverage tax payments online. The issue here is paying an outside firm to collect taxes for the government, taxes the government should be able to collect on its own without outside help. Thumbs-up: To the Joliet Junior College board for questioning whether or not it should agree to a tax abatement for Minooka’s new TownePlace Suites on the basis that Marriott is “such an established corporation.” It’s important to question each case and be certain that tax breaks should be given. However, the reason for the abatement, to lure larger businesses to an area such as Grundy County, also makes sense. In Grundy, for instance, the abatement is 75 percent in Year 1, 50 percent in Year 2 and 25 percent in Year 3 for new projects and businesses expanded that qualify and are more than a $500,000 project. Business and job creation are important but oversight of tax breaks to ensure the proper tax support from those businesses is happening also is important.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Why leadership is important

To the Editor: Quite possibly the most important person on this planet is the president of the United States. The president is the face of our country. To outsiders, what the president says or does is our policies and ideals. The person sitting in the oval office must work to gain (not bully) the respect of all Americans, our allies, neutrals and many unfriendly countries. No past or future president ever will have complete support of all Americans or the respect of all other countries. Our greatest presidents have never achieved it. FDR and Lincoln still have many detractors. Washington wasn’t a heroic figure then and not for decades. LBJ did many great things for our poor and destitute. However, his handling of the Vietnam War created the second most divisive period in our history. Not until today have we had so many Americans taking to the streets.

From the day he announced his candidacy, Donald Trump has gotten very little respect from here or abroad. After being elected, he has alienated even more in Americans and other countries. The protests here and around the world are beginning to rival those of the Vietnam era. Twice as many protested him on Jan. 21 as supported him on Jan. 20. He has lost the respect of leaders and people of Australia, United Kingdom and Germany, among others. I have friends in those countries and an Australian friend summed it up by sending this, “I don’t blame you for having an idiot for president.” I think he might redeem himself if he fired his advisors, muzzled himself, and let party leaders and his more intelligent cabinet secretaries guide him. He obviously is in over his head and bullying people, companies and countries isn’t the way to gain respect. Chuck Johnson

Public transportation solutions

To the Editor: In the old days, the government gave away huge amounts of land to the railroads to encourage building, stitching the nation together and linking the coasts. Today, this option no longer exists. The reason the CTA and RTA got into the municipal transportation business is that it was difficult or impossible to make money. Has anyone run the numbers for land acquisition and construction costs? Maybe cut the expensive unions out and hire the experienced Chinese who build out China to do the work but there’s still the eminent domain land acquisition. The poor need public transit to get to work to be utilized by the private sector to make money. Thomas Cechner Lockport

MIDLIFE CIRCUS Bill Wimbiscus through all 3:46 without gagging. Of course, not all Top 10 music was terrible back then. Every so often a classic like “American Pie” or “Bridge Over Troubled Water” would come along. Yet every time AM latched onto a good thing, it overplayed the hell out of it, every hour on the hour. Which is why most people from my generation can’t stand “Stairway to Heaven.” And then there was disco. When the genre oozed onto the mid-decade charts, AM radio was all over it. Donna Summer was its queen, the Bee Gees its prophets and polyester its fabric. Suddenly everything got all boogie oogie oogie and ahaaw love to love ya, baby. Thank God for FM. FM was the radio you switched to when you finally had enough of AM. The music it offered was called “alternative rock” back then, meaning it was an alternative to the pablum being belted on AM. It was hard to pull in a decent FM station. We lived too far southwest of Chicago to draw in stations like

WXRT, so I had to tune into 105.7-FM out of Peoria to get my fix of Pink Floyd, Lynyrd Skynyrd and Genesis. And because of the vagaries of frequency modulated radio signals, you usually could only get a clear broadcast at night. Music on demand didn’t exist. Our internet was the transistor radio. And if you couldn’t pull in a decent station, your only other option was to set a needle on vinyl or hit the rewind button. Or, if you were lucky, go to a concert. The 1970s were a great time to go to concerts. The decade birthed arena rock, big, super-amplified extravaganzas dominated by bands such as Foreigner, Boston, Styx and REO Speedwagon. Plus they still allowed lighters. I went to a lot of concerts in the ’70s, fewer in the ’80s and mostly Disney-related shows about little mermaids in the ’90s. But outside of an occasional trip to Ravinia Festival, I’ve attended less than a handful of concerts in decades. Which is why I was thrilled to hear that the Joliet Park District tabbed Kansas for this year’s Taste of Joliet. Opening for Kansas is 38 Special, a southern rock ’80s band that was kind of like a poor man’s Lynyrd Skynyrd in its time. They had a couple of hits,

“Hold On Loosely” and “Caught Up in You.” They were OK, from I what I remember. Opening for 38 Special is Survivor. Their big hit was “Eye of the Tiger,” which also was the theme song for some “Rocky” sequel. Definitely an AM band. And then there’s Kansas. Kansas was born in 1970s, and while “Carry On Wayward Son” and “Dust in the Wind” ended up getting a ton of play on the AM dial, it was definitely considered an FM band. Their music, which blended rock, jazz and classical, was considered at the forefront of the progressive rock movement. I’ve seen Kansas three times in concert, the last time about 25 years ago at a sold-out Rialto Square Theatre, which I was told also sold out of beer that night. And they were still awesome. I’m sure they’ll pack Taste of Joliet on June 24. Maybe the Rialto should take notice again. If so, please remember to stock up on beer this time.

Why Social Security is bankrupt

To the Editor: Bankruptcy occurs when liabilities exceed assets. Social Security (SS) has $2.8 trillion in liabilities and zero real assets; it isn’t just bankrupt, it is broke. According to Newsmax, Alan Greenspan, former chairman of the Federal Reserve, said a SS Trust Fund does not exist. SS payroll tax money was put in the general treasury to be spent on other things and not saved in the trust fund. I call that stealing. The fund only consists of interdepartmental IOUs called special issue bonds that are non-negotiable meaning they cannot be redeemed for cash. The only way the government can give you back your money is to raise taxes or take it from someone else. Money currently being paid into SS is being paid out to current retirees; nothing is being saved for future retirees. A Forbes June 12, 2013, article said the SS benefits paid out have exceeded the SS revenue from payroll taxes since 2010. A CNN Money June 22, 2016, article said by 2034, there only will be enough revenue

to pay 79 percent of promised benefits. Previous solutions included increasing taxes and retirement age. We now pay more taxes for more years and collect for fewer years. Higher taxes encourages higher spending and debt. Just raising SS taxes without locking the money in a separate trust fund will not solve the problem. By the way, there is no legal requirement for the government to pay your SS benefits. A better solution is required participation in an IRA or 401k, which are working fine. They fluctuate, but over time, can grow your money tremendously and be passed on to your heirs. The moral of this story is don’t believe politicians saying SS is fine and don’t let the government get their hands on your money. Robert C. Lemke Joliet

Maybe we should sell advertising to fund that wall

To the Editor: Our president vows Mexico will pay for the wall, by whatever creative means it requires. The Mexican president’s

response isn’t even printable here. But whether you’re for or against the wall, someone has to pay for it. So why not finance it like everything else? By selling advertising space on it. You want your message on the wall? Go for it. Commercial, personal, whatever. There’s 2,000 miles of it up for grabs. Those relentless car insurance companies, for instance, hammer us with their endless pitches, Flo and the gecko and all the rest. I’m amazed there’s never been a contest to name that lizard. But anyway... If the wall passes near a town, local businesses can fork out to plaster their logos on it. If not, it’ll just get filled up with graffiti. There’ll be no shortage of that anyway, which generates zero revenue and is protected as freedom of speech. Is this a stupid idea? Of course. No one has ever accused me of being intelligent. But think about it, stupidity sells now like never before. Some guy gets on social media today with a lampshade on his head and dances in his underwear and tomorrow he’s a reality TV superstar making $10 million a month.

So who’s likely to sign on for a piece of the wall, and what type of material might they come up with to outshine their competitors? (Ethical guidelines prohibit the Trump brand.) I’d appreciate feedback, especially from regular contributors to this space. Take all the shots you want. I won’t be offended. Bill Nixon Crest Hill

Congrats to all students who made the honor roll

To the Editor: I would like to commend all of the staff at The Herald-News for their time and effort in honoring the students in the “Saluting our Students” articles. Congratulations to all of the students for their dedication and hard work and to the proud parents and teachers. Keep up the good work and congratulations again.

When it comes to popular music, the 1970s usually is not considered a high-water mark. Back then, rock was divided into two broad categories: AM and FM. AM music included all the stuff that played incessantly on AM radio, which across northern Illinois was dominated by WLS Chicago, still 890 on the AM dial. AM in that era was all about pop music, which I’m told was kind of a backlash to the activist rock that culminated in Woodstock. WLS played a pretty eclectic mix back then, everything from classic bands like the Beatles and Stones to upcoming songwriters such as Carole King and Paul Simon, along with the occasional Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple thrown in for good measure. But, truth be told, they also played a lot of crap. For every single airplay of “Smoke on the Water,” you had to sit through many long sessions of 45 RPM abominations like “Billy Don’t Be A Hero,” “You Light Up My Life” and “Seasons in The Sun.” The latter three were all chart-toppers, considered awesome at the time. These days most people would consider them awful. Don’t believe me? Try pulling up Morris Albert ’s “Feelings” on YouTube and see if you can sit

WRESTLING: CLASS 3A DUAL TEAM STATE TOURNAMENT

UNDEFEATED CHAMPS Lockport wins 3A title; Lincoln-Way West takes 3rd By CURT HERRON

cherron@shawmedia.com BLOOMINGTON – All season, Lockport’s wrestlers believed that they were good enough to be the Class 3A champions. While there were several other contenders who had much better credentials from past efforts at state, the Porters proved to be the best when it counted. Coach Josh Oster’s Porters wrapped up a 29-0 campaign and showed that their top ranking was justified after capping a 3-0 day at U.S. Cellular Coliseum with a 33-20 victory over perennial power Montini to claim their first state championship in the sport. “So much has gone into this,” Oster said. “All of the kids over the years and all of the alumni coming back to help. What Joe (Williams) built, we’ve been able to continue on in his legacy. I’m really happy that we got to wrestle Montini since they have a great program. Izzy (Martinez) gets his kids to wrestle hard and they have fun. It was a good, fun atmosphere. “Looking at everything, we knew that we had to get some points up top because they’re so good down low. Sometimes you have to take what’s given to you and three upperweights did their jobs and got pins. It’s a special group. They’ve been successful for so long.” After Montini (22-3) grabbed an early 7-0 lead, the Porters got decisions from Trevell Timmons (160), Nicholas Dado (170) and Chandler Proszek (182) to take a 9-7 lead. But Lockport took control when Payton Fernandes (195), Yousif Salah

Mayora and Brandon Ramos won 8-4 in the finale. “After going to state for four years and not placing and then finishing my season with this and a win, it’s something that I’ve been dreaming about since my freshman year,” Brandon Ramos said. “I’m so happy. We’re a family and we deserved this. None of us were worried from the start, since we knew that we were going to beat them.” For most of the seniors, the win capped a three-year run of trophies, beginning with a fourth when they were sophomores and a third-place finish last year when they were juniors. “This is amazing,” Assaf said. “We get to walk out of here as state champions as seniors. All of these kids are my brothers. We got to do it one last time before some of us go our separate ways after this. It was nice to have one last memory together. We’ll never forget this. We felt like we were the best, trained like we were the best and we are the best.” Lincoln-Way West (24-4) completed its most successful season ever with by claiming third place after winning 39-15 over Deerfield. Coach Brian Glynn’s squad lost its first two matches to the Warriors (254) but then won eight in a row to take control. Josh Bohne (160), Trevor Schmidt (182) and Jake Dudeck (220) got pins during that run, while Kyle Quinn (170), Robert Noga (195), Nick Skentzos (285), Garrett Geigner (106) and Payton Geigner (113) all added decisions. Later one, Tom Buell (126) and Gehrig Simon (132) also picked up decisions. “My seniors got it going and once we got on that roll, we just couldn’t lose,” Glynn said. “I talked to our guys about the difference between taking third and fourth. It was just about ending their careers on a good not and they responded above and beyond my expectations. We probably wrestled our best dual of the year in the last one and says a lot about how focused we were and how hard these guys worked for it.” For many of the Warriors seniors, finally being able to get a trophy after missing out in the past was the perfect

way to cap their careers. “I’m so proud of everyone on the team,” Schmidt said. “All of the younger guys stepped up and the seniors went out and got their final wins, and that meant a lot and was very special. I guess this is fitting since in 2A, not placing was kind of rough to deal with, but then this year we got bumped up to 3A and finally had a chance; it was nice to actually prove ourselves.” In the semifinals, Lockport beat West, 50-9, as Assaf (138), Brandon Ramos (145), Baylor Fernandes (152), Timmons (160), Dado (170), Payton Fernandes (195) and Salah (195) all won to give their team a 28-0 lead before Dudeck (220) collected West’s first win. Tucker (285), Matt Ramos (106), Anthony Molton (113), James Pierandozzi (120) and Matt Kronsbein (126) followed with wins for the Porters before Nate Dluzak (132) won the finale. The Porters assured themselves of a third-straight trophy with a 33-22 quarterfinal victory over Marmion Academy. The Cadets took a 19-14 lead with five matches remaining but Lockport responded by winning the next four matches.

32 WRESTLING: CLASS 1A & 2A DUAL TEAM STATE TOURNAMENT

Wilmington claims 2nd place in Class 1A By CURT HERRON

cherron@shawmedia.com BLOOMINGTON – For a squad that many suspected wouldn’t even make it to the IHSA’s dual team state finals, Wilmington’s wrestlers not only showed that they deserved to be at the U.S. Cellular Coliseum on Saturday, but fell just shy of capturing a state championship. The Wildcats were ahead of Lena-Winslow-Stockton, 30-28, with just three matches remaining before the Panthers recorded falls in the last two contested matches to help them capture their first state title with a 40-36 triumph. “This is real exciting,” Wildcats coach Rob Murphy said. “The guys did a great job all through duals and we had different heroes in each one, there were so many of them that I can’t even remember all of them. So many times it was bouncing back and forth in the championship and it came down to the last couple of matches and the boys were in there the whole way. “We’re real proud of them and with the way that they performed and with everything that they did. It was a team effort. These guys believed that they could get here and they did that and once they got here, they did what they had to do to have success and get a trophy.” In the title meet, Bobby Shields (145 pounds) and Nick Pretto (152) started things for the Wildcats (32-4) by winning decisions, but the Panthers (33-1) responded with falls from Kyle Kalkbrenner (160) and Rahveon Valentine (170) to take a 12-6 lead. “We came in here as one of the biggest underdogs,” Shields said. “No one thought that we’d amount to anything and to come out of here with another trophy just to add to Wilmington’s wrestling collection makes this a great day. It’s been five years since we’d even been down here, so to come down here and get second place is a great feeling.” The sides alternated wins in the next eight matches as James Cox (182), Sam Jones (220) and Tyler Rock (106) and Corbin Hunt (120) got falls to put Wilmington up by two points with three matches left. But Winston McPeek (126) and Hunter Luke (132) turned closed matches into pins and L-W-S was able to forfeit the final match. “People had been counting us out, but we worked hard and made it happen,” James Cox said. “We hadn’t won a trophy in a while. We had kids with great work ethics and we had a lot of underclassmen who will be making

It opened with six straight wins to grab a quick 28-0 lead. Landon Flynn (138) won a decision, Shields (145) followed with a major decision and Pretto (152) recorded a fall to get things started. After Mason Van Duyne (160) got a decision and Caleb Gougis (170) and Jesse Cox (182) followed with falls, the Spartans won four straight and six of the next seven. The lone Wildcat win during that stretch was a decision from Ryan Shields (113). Going into the final match, Wilmington led, 31-28, but Matt Nutt wrapped up the win with a 3-2 victory at 132 over Noah Newmister. The Wildcats assured themselves of their initial trophy since 2010 when they beat Auburn, 45-34, in the quarterfinals. They won the first five matches to grab a quick 27-0 lead.

Nutt (132), Shields (145), Pretto (152) and Van Duyne (160) recorded falls, while Flynn (138) won, 11-6, to get Wilimington on its way. James Cox (182), Sam Jones (220) and Josh Jones (285) later added pins for the Wildcats. In Class 2A, Lemont’s hopes for its first trophy since 2011 were doomed after it dropped six straight matches and wound up falling, 39-28, to Cahokia in the quarterfinals. After dropping decisions in the first two matches, the Indians (18-5) briefly moved in front at 7-6 after a 9-3 win by Egan Berta (145) and a 12-0 victory from Jake Kirkman (152). But Vincent Perry and Rozell Baker recorded falls for the Comanches in the next two matches. Alex Oruna led at 182, but got injured one minute into it and had to default. A decision, a pin and a forfeit win pushed Cahokia’s lead to 39-7, which proved to be too big of a deficit for Lemont to rally from.

The Indians did win the final four matches, however. Kyle Schickel (106) won by forfeit, Jack Leffler (113) claimed a 6-3 decision, Drew Nash (120) recorded a fall and Grant LaDuke (126) picked up a forfeit in the finale. “We lost a toss-up match and didn’t get bonus points and then from there, it just got worse,” Indians coach John St. Clair said. “We lost at 160 and 170 and then got hurt at 182. It just kind of spiraled out of control from the start. Things didn’t go the way that we wanted them to. But give Cahokia all of the credit since they came out and wrestled harder than we did. We didn’t wrestle in the style that we usually do, and it really showed. “Hopefully we’ll learn from this. Some of the returning kids were already making plans for the offseason so I know they’ll stay around the mats and continue to get better. Hopefully, this bad taste in our mouths today carries us through next year when things get hard.”

St. Francis’ Christina Ekhomu dribbles past Robert Morris’ Aaliyah Irby during Wednesday night’s 85-53 victory in the quarterfinals of the CCAC Tournament. On Saturday, Ekhomu finished with 16 points and made the key plays on both ends of the court as the No. 1-ranked Saints rallied past Cardinal Stritch, 53-50, in the semifinals.

Eric Ginnard – eginnard@ shawmedia.com

following her second 3, she provided weak-side help on a lob to Cardinal Stritch inside force Kelli Schrauth and caused a travel. Schrauth scored a game-high 18 points on 7-of-10 shooting. A combination of what she did offensively and how well the Wolves protected the inside with their tightly packed zone defense gave the visitors, who led, 27-22, at the half, a 32-12 edge in points in the paint. “From a defensive perspective, we have been doing such a good job with our man-to-man that we did not want to play anything else,” Quigley-Smith said. “I think [Schrauth] is as good a post player as there is in the NAIA. “It was so important that we were able to hold them to 27 points at the half. Then in the second half, we did a better job with our help-side defense.”

Meanwhile, USF shot an uncharacteristic 33.3 percent on 19 of 57, including 8 of 28 from 3-point land. The Saints were 7 of 7 from the free-throw line but have averaged more than 21 free throw attempts a game. “We have been a good perimeter shooting team,” Quigley-Smith said. “But our shots weren’t falling, and it’s hard to stay confident when that happens. Plus, they [Wolves] did such a good job collapsing.” “We like more of an inside-out game on offense,” Ekhomu said. “Usually our game flows inside out. But we weren’t able to get the ball inside, especially in the first half, and that threw us off.” Charnelle Reed chipped in 12 points, eight rebounds and five assists for the Saints. Kamari Jordan (Bolingbrook) hit 4 of 13 shots from 3-point range and scored 12 points. Giddings was limited

to nine, but that included seven huge fourth-quarter points, including two free throws with 1:04 left that made it 51-47. St. Francis has its place in the national tournament clinched regardless of the outcome of Tuesday’s tournament title game. Yet, Ekhomu said, it matters – a lot. “I understand what people say that if you’re going to the national tournament anyway, how important is it to win the tournament,” she said. “But to us, it’s very important to win. We are never satisfied with anything. “This win today was really good because we were able to see how resilient of a team we are. We see it every day at practice, but it was good to see it in a game like this one. We learn something from games like this.”

JOLIET – The University of St. Francis women’s basketball team is unbeaten and has been ranked No. 1 in NAIA Division II for most of the season. Yet from this point on, every Saints’ opponent will show up feeling as if it can win the national championship. Cardinal Stritch served as a prime example Saturday. The Wolves gave the Saints all they wanted before USF junior guard Christina Ekhomu took over, fueling the Saints’ 53-50 victory in the semifinals of the Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference Tournament. That vaults St. Francis (31-0) into the tournament title game Tuesday night at the Sullivan Center against No. 2 seed Saint Xavier, a 104-72 winner over No. 3 Purdue Northwest in the other semifinal. “Christina Ekhomu was huge on both ends of the floor in the second half,” Saints coach Samantha Quigley-Smith said. “She made big shots and made a couple of big defensive plays in that one stretch. She was doing everything she can do to help us win.” Ekhomu, a Joliet Catholic Academy graduate, hit three straight 3-pointers. The first with 2:33 left in the third quarter produced a 36-all tie. The second gave the Saints a 41-38 lead with 1:12 to go in the third quarter, USF’s first lead since 10-9 early in the second quarter. She then opened fourth-quarter scoring with a 3 that made it 44-38. St. Francis led the rest of the way, but victory was not secured until two free throws by Angelica Osusky (Romeoville) with 16 seconds remaining and a miss by the Wolves (24-6) and Jordan Giddings’ defensive board in the closing seconds. “Cardinal Stritch is a really good defensive team,” said Ekhomu, who finished with 16 points, six rebounds (four on the offensive end), two assists and a blocked shot. “I looked at my teammates when we were behind in the third quarter said we have to do the little things starting right now. “Coach instills in us that it’s all about the defensive end. When we make a shot, if you look at her, it’s like, ‘OK, now go get a stop.’ ” After Ekhomu’s first 3-pointer of the second half, she blocked a shot on a Wolves’ drive to the basket and came down with the ball.

34 BOYS BASKETBALL: LEMONT 69, THORNTON FRACTIONAL SOUTH 62

Pipes leads Indians to win over Rebels By CURT HERRON

cherron@shawmedia.com LEMONT – The IHSA postseason for Class 4A boys basketball teams officially kicks off Monday, but you might not have realized that if you watched Lemont’s regular-season finale Friday against Thornton Fractional South. Boosted by a big crowd on the Indians’ senior night, the two squads played like you might expect if they were trying to move along in the playoffs, rather than just playing to see who would claim third place in the South Suburban Conference Blue Division. On a rare Friday where there was just one game scheduled in the area, Lemont relied heavily on one of its four seniors to help it hold off a relentless challenge from the Rebels. Wisconsin-Green Bay-bound PJ Pipes tossed in a game-high 29 points, including six during the final 40 seconds, to help the Indians wrap up a 69-62 victory. The hard-fought win was an en-

couraging sign for coach Rick Runaas’ squad as it prepares for the Sandburg Regional. Lemont (15-11, 10-3) plays the host Eagles on Tuesday and hopes to advance to Friday’s title game, likely against second-ranked Bolingbrook. “It was a great atmosphere and a close game and I think that really pushed us into what we have to do to get some good, close wins in the playoffs,” Pipes said. “We’ve lost some tough ones, like losing after being up by 11 at Hillcrest. We’ve had some good starts, but today I think we figured out how to get a good start and keep it, even when they make runs. “We’ve really picked our heads up since New Year’s and we’re like a little train that’s going to keep going and keep moving. And I think where we’re at now, everyone is starting to peak. Unlike most years, we have a lot of length all the way from the two guard to the five, and we have a lot of depth and a lot of players who are ready to come off of the bench.” Lemont jumped to a 14-3 lead less than four minutes into the game, but

the Rebels (16-10, 10-3) fought back to tie things at 16 after one quarter and took a 21-16 advantage early in the second period. Later in the quarter, things were tied at 26 when the Indians went on a decisive 9-0 run over the last 3:10 to not only grab a 35-26 halftime lead, but also move in front for good. Pipes got fouled on a 3-pointer and added the free throw and then converted a threepoint play before Nate Ferguson completed the run with a layup. “This was a good game to play going into the playoffs against a good, competitive team,” Runaas said. “This gets us to 10 wins in the conference and 15 wins overall on the season and it’s the sixth straight year that we’ve won at least 15 games, which is great for this program. I’m happy with the way we responded and we went with our core guys in the last four minutes and they did a nice job of hanging on and PJ really played well. “We’re very appreciative that the community has supported this team all year long, but especially tonight,

and it shows the respect they have for our program and our seniors. The first game of the regional will be a great challenge because it’s at Sandburg and they’re very well coached and will be well prepared. They play great defense and it will just be a matter of whether we can play good enough defense and find a way to score enough points.” After suffering through some foul trouble in the first half, Paul O’Leary (18 points) got things going in the final 16 minutes, collecting nine points in the third quarter to help his squad take a 53-41 lead into the final period. But with Tyvon Gaitors scoring 10 of his 17 points in the final quarter, South managed to cut the deficit to two pints during the final minute before Pipes and Jerry Radomski (11 points) each hit a pair of free throws and Pipes wrapped things up with a late slam. Lemont also received nine rebounds from Nate Podgorak while Eric Blair and Bron Hill (eight rebounds) also added 12 points apiece and Myles Cephas had 10 rebounds for the Rebels.

Kevin Harvick speaks to reporters at a Daytona 500 media day Wednesday at Daytona International Speedway. “I’ve been driving the car here, and we had two days in Phoenix, too,” Harvick said. “There will be bumps in the road with the database, the simulation, the new tools. But I like the challenges. “We’re here to win races. When things go wrong, we have to fix them.” Competing under the new points system is not a major issue from Harvick’s perspective. “There probably is less difference for us with the new point system than there is for others,” he said. “We run races as hard was we can, anyway. Our crew chief [Rodney Childers] can be pretty pushy. He likes to be at the front of the pack. It’s going to be important to be up front and gain bonus points. “NASCAR has done a great job getting the point system to where it is today. Some weeks in the past, guys have been able to go into lulls and it wouldn’t hurt them that bad because they already had their win [to get into the season-ending playoffs]. Those problems will mean more now.” In addition to winning the Sprint Cup title in 2014, Harvick came close to repeating in 2015, when he lost to Kyle Busch by 1.5 seconds in the final race at Homestead to finish as the season runnerup to Busch. In 2016, he made the Round of 8, being eliminated in the race before the finale at Homestead. Given his track record, it’s a safe bet he will be competitive Sunday and

beyond, despite the “newness” of his 2017 season. In the latter portion of 2016 – just before the Chase for the Sprint Cup began at Chicagoland Speedway, in fact – Harvick and Tony Stewart traded over-the-wall pit crews. Harvick was pleased with the results. “Our crew was one of the best teams at Homestead and throughout the Chase,” he said. “Obviously, that is going very well.” Yet while signs point to success again in 2017, Harvick emphasizes the true tests begin Sunday with “The Great American Race.” In addition to winning the Daytona 500 in 2007, he was second in 2009 and 2015. “This is the peak of the season – Sunday, February 26,” he said. “You win that day, and you win our sport’s biggest race. “A lot of effort, a lot of team emphasis, goes into it. I’ll understand more about where we are after this race. We’ll try to get into the rhythm and flow of the race and we’ll see where that puts us.” Joliet-area NASCAR fans will be watching Harvick’s progress closely. That’s the way it has been ever since he replaced Dale Earnhardt Sr. after his fatal crash in the 2001 Daytona 500, then won the first two Cup Series races at Chicagoland Speedway in 2001 and 2002.

• Sunday, February 26, 2017

Kevin Harvick will be in the spotlight, perhaps more so than ever, when the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series kicks off its season Sunday afternoon with the running of the 59th annual Daytona 500. The spectacle will be televised by FOX, beginning at 1 p.m. All the drivers and race teams will be dealing with new rules and a new points system that rewards excellence over the course of a race rather than at the end only. Harvick has much more on his plate, however. The 2007 Daytona 500 winner and 2014 NASCAR Cup Series champion, he has spent his career driving a Chevrolet. His Stewart-Haas Racing team had been getting its engines and purchasing chassis and other parts from Hendrick Motorsports. Beginning this season, SHR is part of Ford Performance and is creating parts in-house. In addition, Harvick, Kurt Busch, Danica Patrick and SHR newcomer Clint Bowyer occasionally will be working on the track with Penske Racing stalwarts Joey Logano and Brad Keselowski, who drive Fords. “SHR and Penske are trying to work together in speedway races,” Harvick said during a phone interview last week. “We’re going to try to make it benefit us all with teamwork. To accomplish what we want to accomplish, we want to do all we can to help each other be stronger as a group.” It’s a new world. There have been times through the years where Logano and Harvick, in particular, have not seen eye to eye. Meanwhile, Harvick said adjusting to the Ford engine has not been a big issue. “I have driven the car now several times,” he said. “Those guys who are taking care of the engine are on top of their game. They have not missed a beat under the hood. “But the whole company is becoming another company. The balance, set-up, new rules package, there’s a lot to adjust to, and a lot to do in order to make the car drive right.” Then again, Harvick is among the best at his craft. NASCAR media analysts through the years have dubbed him “Mr. Where Did He Come From?” because of his ability to start back in the field and finish near the front, and “The Closer” for his late passes that produced victories. He finished fifth in The Clash at Daytona a week ago and third Thursday in the first of the two duel races at Daytona.

36 CUBS SPRING TRAINING

First action since Series has festive feel By BRUCE MILES

bmiles@dailyherald.com MESA, Ariz. – Saturday had the feel of a special day even before the sun came up in the desert. Traffic controllers were out around Sloan Park, and some of the streets were closed to traffic. Tailgaters began streaming into the parking lots not long after, as revelers lit grills and played bags. The occasion was the Cactus League opener for the Cubs, who were playing their first baseball game of any kind since winning the 2016 World Series in November. Even though the game – won by the Cubs, 4-3, over the Oakland Athletics – didn’t count, the anticipation was high, and the World Series trophy was on display behind home plate as the sellout crowd of 14,929 streamed in. “The rally (Friday) was pretty significant,” Cubs manager Joe Maddon said of the preseason pep rally. “I think it was the 1,557th-largest gathering in history of humankind. But it was really cool, everybody there. It was a nice vibe. Our guys came on out. I had my family out there, my kids, my grandkids. “So my point is that’s what just a rally looked like yesterday. Just driving in this morning, they’re already

blocking off the 202 (highway). You already see Cubs signs everywhere. The anticipation is going to be pretty large. It’s great.” As far as the game goes, it was pretty much a spring-training opener. The regulars got a couple of at-bats and then scooted home. Mike Montgomery, who got the save in Game 7 of the World Series, was the starting pitcher for the Cubs. He worked a scoreless first inning and was done after throwing 24 pitches. He couldn’t help but notice the festive atmosphere in and around the place. The players have to walk from the clubhouse across a path to the stadium and on Saturday that path was lined with fans. “I had some adrenaline going today,” he said. “It was something different. I hadn’t had that for the last few months. It’s fun. These fans are great. First time in that stadium. It was cool to see that, be back in that atmosphere and competing, and that’s what we love. “I’ve been in a few spring trainings now. It was definitely a different experience. It was actually hard to control the adrenaline today a little bit. It’s a different feeling usually in spring, a little bit more laid-back. Today, and here especially, it was a lot of energy in there.”

Bruce Miles – bmiles@dailyherald.com

Fans entering Sloan Park for the Cubs’ opening Cactus League game. Right fielder Jason Heyward described the atmosphere succinctly. “Second to none,” he said. “This is preseason, so to speak, but that’s what’s great about spring training out here. Our fans don’t take it for granted. Everybody wants to be a part of it. It’s a fun ride, obviously as far as Cubs baseball goes. It’s just Day 1 of another year. It’s always fun being able to kind of translate this atmosphere into your regular-season atmosphere because it’s not far from it.”

In other words, look for this about every day the Cubs are at Sloan Park this spring. “I guess we’re sold out for the most part here,” Maddon said. “Even though it normally is, I would imagine even more are just folks wanting to be around the place. It’s going to be exaggerated. It’s great. It’s great for us. It’s great for the organization. It’s great for the city of Mesa. I’ve lived here for 20 years in the past. I know how closely tied this city is to the Chicago Cubs.”

CUBS NOTES

Fifth starter question remains as Cactus League action begins By BRUCE MILES

bmiles@dailyherald.com Maybe the best way to describe the Cubs’ relationship status with their fifth starting pitcher is that “it’s complicated.” The first step in that situation happened Saturday when left-hander Mike Montgomery started and pitched one inning of the Cubs’ Cactus League opener, a 4-3 victory over the Oakland Athletics at Sloan Park. Montgomery theoretically is battling with fellow lefty Brett Anderson for the fifth spot. Anderson pitches Monday against the White Sox. So is it a battle or not? “It is and it isn’t,” manager Joe Maddon said. “We like them both. Yes, watching them this camp will be somewhat important. But we have a pretty good idea what we feel about both of them. Anderson’s been really impressive. The big thing with both of them,

if I could explain this properly, neither one has really been stretched out anywhere close to 200 innings over the last couple of years. “It’s almost like a hybrid moment. Maybe fold one back into the bullpen for a bit while the other one starts and vice versa. Or just jump a sixth guy in there now and then to keep the other guys from being overworked too early while you’re still giving these guys some work. We talked about it. It’s in theory right now. We haven’t actually laid it down on paper.” Either Montgomery or Anderson will open the season in the rotation behind Jon Lester, Jake Arrieta, Kyle Hendricks and Jon Lackey, providing all are healthy. The “loser” of the fifth-starter’s derby likely will head to the bullpen. But Maddon does like to trot out a sixth starter at various points of the season, so either Montgomery or Anderson could fill that role from time

to time. “With my mentality, just come in as a starter, get in that routine and just physically prepare for that,” Montgomery said after his start. “Yeah, there’s a lot of different possibilities they could go with, but for me it’s just continue to build my arm strength and just get my timing down, mechanics down. That way I’m ready to go and do whatever it is that they need me to.” Meanwhile, in Scottsdale: In Saturday’s other split-squad game, the Cubs fell, 8-6, to the San Francisco Giants in Scottsdale. Kyle Schwarber led off, played left field and went 0-for-2. Lefty Rob Zastryzny started and pitched 1 innings. Javier Baez was 2-for-3, with a double. World Series memories: The leadoff batter for Oakland on Saturday was Rajai Davis. As a member of the Cleveland Indians, Davis hit a 2-run homer in the eighth inning of Game 7 of the

World Series against the Cubs. That tied the game at 6-6 before the Cubs eventually went on to win 8-7 in 10 innings. On Sunday, the Cubs will host the Indians at Sloan Park. Davis heard some boos as he led off the game, but the Sloan Park crowd took it easy on him after that. “It is what it is, and it was what it was,” said Cubs right fielder Jason Heyward, who led off Saturday for his team and went 0-for-3. “As players we’re all enjoying this ride and a new journey. I was surprised he (Davis) didn’t get booed more. That’s just how our fans are. They’re fun like that. They have fun with the game. “They acknowledged him. That’s pretty cool for Cubs fans to boo you or any fans to boo you from last year in the World Series. That’s kind of an honor, I would say, to be on that side of things. That means you’re doing something great.”

At Glendale, Arizona, Clayton Kershaw breezed through his first inning of spring training work , not allowing a runner in throwing 12 pitches. Justin Turner drove in a run and Yasmani Grandal went 2 for 2 with an RBI. Carson Fulmer struck out three in two scoreless innings. Avasail Garcia went 2 for 2 with two runs scored. The White Sox scored twice off Alex Wood in the second inning on an RBI groundout by Geovany Soto and a sacrifice fly from Yolmer Sanchez. Yasmani Grandal, Justin Turner and Franklin Gutierrez drove in runs for Los Angeles in the third.

His outlook remains bright. “I look at last year as a complete positive,’’ he said. “I’m so excited about where I am at with my swing, defensively and as a baseball player as a whole. I feel stronger and think I will perform better than I would have last year if I didn’t get hurt. I’ve improved my swing.’’ Davidson singled and struck out in

inger said. “Now the bat travels in the zone a little longer. There’s not so many misses with those good pitches you get to hit.’’ At Charlotte last season, Davidson’s .268/.349/.444 slash line looked nothing like 2014 and ’15. He had 10 homers, 20 doubles and 46 RBI, and the Sox called him up. “For me it was body position. I was staying back, and it made my swing look long and it made me late on a lot of pitches. Now I’m in the middle of my body.’’ The confidence he had as a rising prospect is back. “When you lose your confidence, that’s kind of your biggest thing you have,’’ he said. Davidson has a chance to grab the bulk of at-bats as designated hitter this year, although manager Rick Renteria’s plan is to divide it up. “He looks real good, not only in the box but defensively he’s moving around real well at third,’’ Renteria said. He’s grateful the Sox have stuck with him. “A lot of players don’t get as many opportunities as I’ve had these four years with the White Sox,’’ Davidson said.

• Sunday, February 26, 2017

GLENDALE, Ariz. – Baseball is a noncontact sport, but it will beat you up. Just ask corner infielder Matt Davidson, a former first-round draft pick. After slumping and losing all confidence for a period of two years, Davidson figured something out, climbed his way back to success at AAA Charlotte and then to a call-up to the Sox last June 30. In his second at-bat in a game against the Twins at U.S. Cellular Field and his first in the majors since 2013, Davidson singled against left-hander Tommy Milone. All was right in his world again, it seemed. Until he rounded first base and felt something go awry in his right foot. Two days later he underwent season-ending surgery to repair a fracture. “It was tough,’’ Davidson said. Ya think? On Saturday, Davidson, batting fourth in the Sox’s Cactus League opener against the Dodgers and Clayton Kershaw, stepped into a batter’s box for the first time in eight months, healed from the injury. He lost all that time, but the

two at-bats. He also dived to his left in the field to retire Franklin Gutierrez. “I’m just so excited to get this thing going,’’ he said. Considered the third baseman of the future when the Sox traded closer Addison Reed four winters years ago, Davidson swatted 20 and 23 homers at Charlotte in 2014 and ’15 but batted .199 and .203 and struck out a total of 355 times. Dark times indeed for a player drafted in the first round by Arizona in 2009. “I had no confidence at all for two years,’’ Davidson said. “I was down and never recovered until the offseason after 2015. That’s when I learned how to hit.’’ Working with hitting coordinator Mike Gellinger, a behind-the-scenes organization instructor whom Paul Konerko and Jim Thome leaned on, flipped a switch. “When I came up in the Diamondbacks system, I just debuted; I just hit,’’ Davidson said. “I didn’t really know what I was. I’ve really learned myself, and what I need to do to be successful.’’ Gellinger said Davidson’s swing was fine. His posture wasn’t. “It equated to a lot of misses,’’ Gell-

38 BULLS 117, CAVALIERS 99

No LeBron means win By STEVE HERRICK The Associated Press

CLEVELAND – Dwyane Wade scored 20 points and Jimmy Butler recorded a triple-double, leading the Bulls to a 117-99 victory Saturday night over the Cleveland Cavaliers, who played without LeBron James. James missed the game with an illness, and Cleveland struggled as it often does when the four-time MVP doesn’t play. The Cavaliers are 4-19 without James since he returned to Cleveland in 2014, including 0-4 this season. The Bulls have won all three games against Cleveland this season. It took advantage of James’ absence to win its fourth straight overall. Wade was 9 of 18 from the field and had 10 assists with eight rebounds. Butler had 18 points, including 13 in the third quarter, to go along with 10 rebounds and 10 assists. Kyrie Irving led Cleveland with 34 points, hitting 13 of 25 from the field. Kyle Korver scored 14 points before

limping to the locker room after taking a hard fall late in the fourth quarter. Butler didn’t score until hitting a 3-pointer late in the second quarter. The game was tied nine times and featured 10 lead changes in the first half. The Bulls pulled away from a 65-all tie midway through the third quarter and used an 11-0 run to gain control. The Cavaliers have lost seven straight without James, dating back to March 16 of last season when they beat Dallas. James remained home for Saturday morning’s shootaround, and coach Tyronn Lue announced about 90 minutes before tip-off that he wouldn’t play. Lue said he didn’t know how long the Cavaliers will be without James, who is averaging 25.7 points a game. The Bulls had seven players in double figures. Rajon Rondo scored 15 points and Nikola Mirotic added 14. James Jones scored 14 points for the Cavaliers, also playing without the injured Kevin Love and J.R. Smith.

Reed grabs win at Daytona By JENNA FRYER

The Associated Press DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – Ryan Reed picked up the second Xfinity Series victory of his career – both at Daytona International Speedway – by winning the wreck-filled season-opener Saturday. Reed held off Austin Dillon and Kasey Kahne in a two-lap overtime shootout to win in a Ford for Roush Fenway Racing. Reed’s only other career victory came in this race in 2015, and he was celebrated for overcoming a diagnosis of Type 1 diabetes to become a race-winning driver. Reed had initially been told upon diagnosis that he’d not be able to race. “Man, I thought about it this morning. I’ve had so many people come up to me and tell me how amazing that last win, my first win, was for certain people,” Reed said. “Everyone knows, a lot of people know, that I have Type 1 diabetes, and to see what that win meant to people it drove me to get back to victory lane.” Roush was winless last year in both the Xfinity and Cup Series, but Reed’s victory ensures him a spot in the Xfinity Series playoffs. “At the end of last year, I told everyone we had a lot of momentum and I said we’re going to go to Speedweeks ready to

go and here we are,” Reed said. “So many good things are happening right now.” Kahne finished second in a Chevrolet for JR Motorsports, which had five cars in the field and a rough day because of all the accidents. Austin Dillon was third in a Chevrolet for Richard Childress Racing, and Brad Keselowski was fourth in a Team Penske Ford. Scott Lagasse was sixth and the highest-finishing Toyota driver. “A race like this, you just feel good to survive,” Keselowski said. A multi-car accident with 17 laps remaining cost Elliott Sadler the victory, but it wasn’t a total loss. Sadler, one of the JR Motorsports drivers, won the first two stages of NASCAR’s new format and was in contention for the win until the accident. He wound up in the garage because his car was too damaged to be repaired on pit road. Sadler finished 24th. The first 30-lap stage was marred by two long stoppages, including one to fix the damaged fence at Daytona. Although the segment was only 30 laps, two multicar accidents ate up more than 47 minutes in red-flag time. When the second segment began, only 22 of 40 cars were on the lead lap, and 12 were listed as too damaged to continue the race.

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Thomas Bryant completed a three-point play with 2.6 seconds left Saturday night, and James Blackmon Jr. finished with 13 points to help Indiana rally from a seven-point deficit in the final 93 seconds to beat Northwestern, 63-62. The win snapped a five-game losing streak and was the only time Indiana (16-13, 6-10 Big Ten) led in the final 13½ minutes. Bryant McIntosh scored 22 points for Northwestern (20-9, 9-7) but just missed a half-court heave at the buzzer to win it. The Hoosiers seemed to take control with a 22-0 run to close the first half – the last coming on Devonte Green’s heave from 60 feet that made it 36-26. But after retaking the lead with a 17-3 second-half run and taking a 62-55 lead with 1:33 left, Northwestern didn’t score again. Blackmon’s 3-pointer with 38.6 seconds left made it 62-60 and Bryant won it with a fortuitous bounce on the free throw. Bryant finished with 11 points and six rebounds. Michigan 82, No. 14 Purdue 70: At Ann Arbor, Michigan, Moe Wagner scored 22 of his 24 points in the first half, outplaying everyone on Purdue’s vaunted front line and leading Michigan to a victory over the Boilermakers.

Walking a heart-healthy exercise Dear Doctor: My New Year’s resolution was to get more exercise and, I hope, lose a few pounds. Walking is an activity I know I can stick with, but I keep hearing that I should aim for 10,000 steps a day. Where does that number come from, and am I wasting my time if I do less? Dear Reader: In the battle to sit less and move more, you’ve already nailed the crucial element – picking an activity that will survive the inevitable day that your New Year’s fervor wears off. Walking is a great option – it’s easy, inexpensive and low-impact, and can be done just about anywhere. Best of all, walking has multiple health benefits. Walking will do more than just help you control your weight. In fact, even if you don’t lose any weight at all, you’ll still come out ahead. People who are physically active lower their risk of stroke, heart disease, type 2 diabetes, depression and even some cancers. Bottom line – they live longer. For optimal health benefits, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention say we should spend at least 150 minutes per week doing a moderately paced aerobic activity for no less than 10 minutes at a stretch. (Or 75 minutes a week of vigorous physical activity, but that’s an answer to a different question.) Those 150 minutes of moderate activity can absolutely be spent in your chosen method – walking – as long as it’s at a brisk pace. Three to four miles an hour is about right for most of us. That’s fast enough so that your heart gets pumping, yet you’re still able to carry on a conversation. Which brings us to the question of distance, and the mystery of the 10,000 steps.

SUDOKU

ASK THE DOCTORS Elizabeth Ko and Eve Glazier It turns out that this goal dates back to the mid-1960s, when a pedometer sold in Japan was marketed as “manpo-kei,” which translates to “10,000 steps meter.” More than 50 years later, we’re still in thrall to that clever bit of advertising. But those 10,000 steps – that’s about five miles – had a toehold in science. A study at the time found that men who burned 2,000 calories per week through exercise measurably lowered their risk of heart disease. Since a five-mile walk uses roughly 300 calories, to burn 2,000 calories a week takes 10,000 steps. Is 10,000 steps a make-or-break number from the outset? The short answer is no. Any amount of physical activity above and beyond what you’re presently doing is beneficial. The main thing is to ease into your new exercise program in a way that’s both safe and sustainable. Begin with a comfortable pace and a reasonable distance. Maybe that’s a 10-minute walk around the block or a brisk two miles to work. Challenge yourself to go a bit farther each week. Whether you’re taken with the symmetry of 10,000 steps, or prefer the CDC’s recommendation of 150 minutes of exercise a week, what matters most is that you get – and stay – moving. • Eve Glazier, M.D., MBA, is an internist and assistant professor of medicine at UCLA Health.

Aging mom has health issues but wants to stay in her home Dear Abby: My father died four years ago, leaving my 69-year-old mother alone. My mother has health and mobility issues. Her house is large and has two stories, and it far exceeds her needs. The problem is that she’s extremely sentimental about it. I worry about her being alone because my sister and I live two hours away in opposite directions, and Mother is either unwilling or unable to address the issue of moving closer to me or my sister. Money is not an issue. I talked with my sister, and we agree that Mom should move closer to whomever she wants. Because of her age, I feel guilty that one of us isn’t close by to be there for her. Abby, how does one lovingly and gently nudge a parent to move closer for her own well-being? – Worried in Indiana

BE A GOOD

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips Dear Worried: You are good and caring siblings, but you cannot live your mother’s life for her. There may be more to her reluctance to leave her home than sentimentality. If she has lived there for decades, she wouldn’t just be giving up her house, but also her friends and acquaintances, the places she shops, etc. Aside from you or your sister, she would be like a stranger in a strange land. Because money is not an issue, a caregiver could be hired to provide assistance and companionship for your mother if her health and mobility reach the point that she can no longer live

NEIGHBOR

alone. And if her needs become progressively greater, you or your sister should research assisted-living facilities near you and talk to her about moving into one. Dear Abby: I thought I was a pretty good parent, but I am stumped when it comes to my 13-year-old daughter. The latest point of contention is that she has gotten into the habit of telling her father and me to “shut up.” She does it when we are playing with each other. In spite of the fact that I have corrected her and told her it is disrespectful and unacceptable, she insists there is nothing wrong with it. She says that it’s just a hang-up that I have and other parents wouldn’t care. I don’t care if other parents would allow it or not. She has earned consequences for it, and yet turns right

Volunteer.

around and implies that my scolding her basically earned my being told to shut up. I can’t believe her lack of logic when arguing her point. She’s really baffled as to why it is an inappropriate thing to say, and I’m baffled at her obstinance. – Baffled in Texas Dear Baffled: Explain to your daughter that there are some things teens can say to each other that are inappropriate when said to their parents. (“Shut up!” can be used to express amazement or surprise at hearing something without being meant as disrespectful.) That said, if this expression your daughter uses offends you, she should have enough respect for you that she refrains from using it at home. • Write Dear Abby at www.dearabby. com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

A British show I really enjoyed that ran for six seasons was “Goodnight, Sweetheart.” It was about someone living in the 1990s in London, who accidentally finds a time portal that transports him back to 1942, in the middle of World War II. He travels back and forth between the two time periods. A bridge declarer sometimes needs to travel back and forth between his hand and the dummy. His success in achieving those crossings can govern whether or not he makes his contract. In this deal, how should South plan the play in four spades after West leads the heart eight? South made a textbook weak jump overcall, and North took a sensible shot at game. Declarer has four losers (two hearts and two clubs) and only nine winners (six spades, one heart and two diamonds). He must establish dummy’s diamond suit, but that requires ruffing diamonds in his hand and being able to return to the dummy twice. South needs to be careful with the spade king and queen. Declarer should win the first trick, cash the spade ace, play off dummy’s top diamonds and ruff a diamond high in hand. He leads a trump to dummy’s queen, ruffs a diamond high, plays a spade to dummy’s king (drawing West’s last trump) and discards a heart or a club on the diamond six. (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. Full details at kalosgolf.com.)
