Joliet committee questions Hawk Auto move to Route 59

By BOB OKON

bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Hawk Auto Group’s plan to move its Subaru dealership to a Route 59 spot once planned for an upscale retail and restaurant center faced some resistance from a City Council committee Wednesday.

The three-member Land Use and Legislative Committee declined to give a recommendation on the plan and instead invited Hawk to make a presentation to the full City Council at its workshop meeting Monday.

“I think this is too important for the three of us to make this decision, even though we want you to stay,” Councilwoman Jan Quillman told Hawk representatives.

Council members appeared to be straddling a line between questioning the location preferred by Hawk and avoiding the loss of a car dealership with the big-ticket sales tax dollars it generates.

The northwest corner of Route 59 and Theodore Street had been proposed in 2005 for Tower Marketplace, a lifestyle center with unique shopping and dining that never developed.

The city approved a planned unit devel-

“We feel that this is a very important corner in the city and want to keep some of the amenities.”

Jim Torri

Joliet city planner

opment plan for the Tower Marketplace project, which would have to be changed for Hawk to move in.

Quillman asked city planning staff to explore a larger site on the northeast corner of the intersection for the Subaru dealership, which she speculated may need more space in the future.

Hawk representatives said they have already inquired about the site on the other corner. But the price is too high for them, they said. Also, they were unable to buy just the section at the corner that Hawk would need for the dealership, they said.

“We wouldn’t be opposed to the site across the street if it were available at a similar cost basis,” Hawk President John Crane said.

Crane said the company is under some

pressure to move the dealership from Jefferson Street to Route 59. He said Subaru had been promised a new building before Hawk bought the dealership in 2015, and the manufacturer is restricting the amount of cars that can be sold in Joliet until a move is made.

“This project has been delayed in Subaru’s mind since 2010,” he said. “They’ve even placed a restriction on our ability to sell cars.”

Crane said Subaru wants the dealership on Route 59. He said Hawk would pay $3 million for 10 acres on the northwest corner where it wants to put the dealership.

The owner of the northeast corner has 40 acres and wants to sell it all to one buyer for $13 million, he said.

“It wouldn’t budget for us,” Crane told the committee.

Crane also said he would be “happy” to make the presentation to the full City Council when it meets Monday.

City Planner Jim Torri said Hawk is willing to work with the city on some plans for the northwest corner, which include a pond and wall, adding aesthetic features to the corner.

“We feel that this is a very important corner in the city and want to keep some of the amenities,” Torri said.

Joliet apartment residents displaced by storm

By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com JOLIET – At least 14 were injured and one was killed in the Ottawa area as a result of a tornado that passed through Tuesday night, officials said.

And although Joliet didn’t get the worst of it, reports of property damage and flooding were scattered throughout Will County, as a series of storm cells hit the area. No one locally was injured or killed.

But tenants at Lois Place apartments in Joliet have been displaced. Will County Emergency Management Agency Deputy

Director for Preparedness Brenda Lutz said Wednesday morning that the Joliet Emergency Management Agency and the American Red Cross were on hand working with residents.

Joliet Public Utilities Director Jim Eggen said a sewer backup occurred Tuesday night as the area received almost 3 inches of water. He said people have been displaced until cleanup is finished, but he’s unsure how many residents and housing units were affected.

Eggen said crews have removed the blockage but, “the damage had been done.”

still was flooded Wednesday morning. She said storm damage was reported on Route 52 in Manhattan and minor flooding occurred throughout the county, but those locations have since subsided.

The National Weather Service in Romeoville reported that Crest Hill received 2.8 inches of rain, Shorewood had 2.77 inches, Mokena had 2.7 inches, southeast Naperville had 1.75 inches and Plainfield had 2 inches.

Scattered areas experienced minor power outages but most were restored by midday Wednesday, according to a ComEd outage map.

‘A GRACEFUL TIME’ Catholic pastor recommends more positive direction during Lent

By FELIX SARVER

fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The Rev. Brad Baker called on parishioners to make a U-turn in their lives and pursue directions that are more positive.

Baker spoke during a Mass for Ash Wednesday at the Cathedral of St. Raymond Nonnatus in Joliet. The season of Lent is a time for fasting and prayer for Catholics and other Christians, but it’s also a time to renew themselves and their faith.

Baker said Lent is a great gift for Catholics and a time when God wants them to recognize the need for change.

He asked parishioners to “take out something that has you going in the wrong direction” and add something that will keep them headed in the right one, such as attending Mass more, committing to prayer and doing daily acts of kindness.

“And this, you’ll discover, will be truly a graceful time,” he said.

Ash Wednesday is the beginning of a 40-day period for Catholics and is one of the most important periods of the faith. The period follows the 40 days and nights that Jesus Christ fasted in the desert.

Catholics receive ashes on their foreheads, which Baker said is a sign of their repentance and commitment to amend their lives.

“It’s a pivotal time for us just as we unite with Christians around the world and celebrating, ultimately, our belief of Jesus Christ being our savior,” said Marjorie Hill, principal at the Cathedral of St. Raymond School.

The ashes given during Ash Wednesday also is a reminder that people are “dust, and to dust you will return.”

“It’s a reminder of our mortality – that we’re not going to live forever,” Baker said.

The Cathedral of St. Raymond delivered Ash Wednesday services throughout the day. Baker delivered his homily to St. Raymond School students in the morning, where he talked about how Lent is a time for Catholics to turn away from sin and be faithful to the Gospel.

Hill said the school talks to students about sacrifice for Lent and what they could give up. During Lent, Catholics fast and give up bad or excessive habits in their lives.

“This is preparation for Easter and how we can get our hearts closer to Jesus,” she said.

During his homily, Baker reflected on the reading from the Gospel of Matthew, in which Jesus encourages his

followers not to outwardly display their deeds. During Lent, Catholics do the opposite by marking ashes on their fore-

head – an “external sign of our interior commitment,” Baker said.

He said going back to his childhood, he’s always found great comfort in having his head marked with ashes and being in the company of others who’ve been marked. It was a sign that he wasn’t the only one who needed to turn away from sin and become more faithful to the Gospel.

“I recognized I was part of a larger community. … We all have that responsibility to amend our lives, change our ways, to become more like the person that God created us to be,” he said.

Bullet hole robbed us of our life

Ten years ago, I became a mom for the first time to a baby boy. Three years later, my husband, Nate, and I welcomed a second child, a girl this time. Since then, it has become our duty to teach, love and protect our children.

In 2006, we moved to Minooka from San Antonio, Texas, to be closer to family. We settled in a small subdivision surrounded by farmland. I am an outdoorsy person who loves to hike and explore, so this location fit the bill.

Over the past 10 years that we have lived in this neighborhood, it has been safe. We have room to roam and can be at our favorite hiking spot in three minutes via winding tree-lined roads.

That comfort came to a screeching halt Feb. 20, when we found a large bullet hole in our kids’ bathroom.

We were gone from Feb. 18 to Feb. 20 and, upon returning home, my son went up to use his bathroom.

He yelled down for me to come up because he found pieces of drywall, paint and wood shavings all over the toilet and floor.

We moved the towels, which hung over the toilet, and there was a hole with the drywall pushed up around it. At first, I thought maybe we had a mouse in the wall and it ate through the drywall. We had the kids leave the room and, when my husband further inspected, the reality of what it was made me instantly sweat. It was a bullet hole.

I walked outside in the hallway and escorted my kids into the family room to watch TV. The kids began to scream; they heard us and sensed

our panic. My daughter wrapped herself in a blanket and looked at me with tears streaming down her face, yelling, “No, Mommy, I’m scared!” My son was in shock; he looked blank and confused.

The police came, and we were told we were the third house in two months to be hit by a bullet, not a surprise to us, as a woman living two streets over begged and pleaded for answers on our subdivision Facebook page when this happened to her before Christmas.

After the police left, we were alone.

With pure adrenaline, I hurriedly packed a bag of pajamas, my toothbrush and toothpaste, phone, charger, kids’ clothes and vitamins, and jumped into the car. We drove to our in-laws still in shock.

My mind swirled, and that night I fell asleep wondering what was to become of our future. Tuesday morning, we woke up 30 minutes early so we could drive home, get the kids ready for school and get on with our day.

That’s when reality set in. I went up to my kids’ bathroom, moved the towels out of the way and just stared at the bullet hole in the wall.

I shook and sobbed, realizing that if we had been home, I could have sent one of my kids to go to the bathroom or take a shower and upon checking to see whether they needed help, I could have found them dead on the floor.

That runs through my head at least 100 times a day; it’s debilitating.

That day, I went to the grocery store, numb as I walked up and down every aisle with zero purpose of what to buy to eat for dinner. My face was bright red and hot, I could feel my heartbeat throughout my body and I felt faint – my blood pressure was sky high.

By Wednesday I was angry. I was searching online for a new place to live. Everything was more expensive or too big or too small. I felt like Goldilocks trying to find the perfect bed.

I thought I was going to have to pull my kids out of their schools to move, pull them away from their neighborhood friends and us from a place we have lived for the past 10 years.

Wednesday night, I dropped off my kids at church group and I drove around the neighborhood, wondering whether someone living among us did this. Then I drove around in the country, wondering whether one of these homes housed the person who robbed us of our life.

This person robbed us of our home, our comfort, safety, livelihood, finances, schools, friends and the list goes on. One thing it won’t rob me of is my faith.

See, the reason why we were gone was because, last minute, a friend called and asked whether we would come if she flew us down to Texas for her daughter’s birthday. We never leave for the weekend – we never leave. We left that weekend, and it was a God thing.

Each hour of every day, I pray for a new situation. I pray the person is caught or fesses up to being irrespon-

sible. See, the bullet came from above, someone shooting up into the air.

I pray that we stay safe and that when I hear a noise and jump up to check on the kids, that I don’t find a nightmare. I pray another bullet doesn’t hit my husband or myself while we watch TV or sleep. I pray that we find resolution and that I can live without panic and fear, because we don’t deserve this torture.

Our subdivision is in Minooka, but the surrounding areas are considered Kendall County property, so the Minooka Police Department and the Kendall County Sheriff’s Office are in charge of the case.

Minooka Police Chief Justin Meyer confirmed in a phone interview Monday that the police department, investigators and the sheriff’s office are working together to solve the case.

Meyer said he believes the bullet came from the north outside of the subdivision in unincorporated property near Minooka.

Letters were sent to 150 residents in unincorporated Kendall County near Minooka, which verified that they do have a legal right to shoot and hunt on personal property, while within state laws, but need to be cognizant of where the bullets are going, and can face penalties.

“After sending the letters, we have had a good response from residents in the unincorporated area. Hopefully people will cooperate. Some people just don’t realize how far bullets can travel, especially if they are inexperienced,” Meyer said.

Bullet holes found in Minooka area homes

By KRIS STADALSKY

Shaw Media correspondent MINOOKA – A handful of Minooka residents attended Tuesday’s Village Board meeting to find out what is being done about bullet holes found in homes, vehicles and a pool in the Sommerfield subdivision and unincorporated Kendall County off Ridge Road north of Interstate 80.

Bullet holes have been discovered in a dining room, garage and bathroom of her neighbors, Sommerfield resident Amanda Puskar said.

Minooka Administrative Director Dan Duffy read aloud a letter, which

had been sent to residents in the affected areas from Police Chief Justin Meyer, who was out sick.

Several incidents were officially reported to Minooka police, Duffy said, on two separate occasions: Dec. 20 of last year and Feb. 20.

One Minooka resident in attendance, who asked not to be identified, said her brother found a bullet hole in his pool after noticing the water level was down.

The family had been sitting outside just 20 feet from the pool earlier that day.

Puskar said she is concerned because those bullet holes are just the ones people have found. She also expressed concern that being in a rural area, po-

lice don’t care as much.

Minooka police are working closely with the Kendall County Sheriff’s Office on the shootings, Duffy said. The agencies are in contact on a daily basis about the investigation.

Trustee and Safety Committee Chairman Dick Parrish said he has discussed the incidents with Meyer and, from the trajectory of the bullet holes, it appears the weapons were shot into the air.

Police are asking for anyone with information to contact the Minooka Police Department at 815-467-2161.

LED lights will save money

A grant rebate from the Depart-

ment of Commerce and Economic Opportunity will cover 75 percent of the cost to replace streetlights with LED fixtures.

Phase 2 of the streetlight conversion project was awarded to low bidder Utility Dynamics Co. of Oswego in the amount of $57,261.

The new lighting will reduce maintenance and power consumption, Trustee Barry Thompson said.

“In essence, the change will pay for itself in a year, even without the grant,” Thompson said.

Superintendent of Public Works Ryan Anderson said Phase 2 covers 180 of the 750 streetlights in Minooka.

Will-Grundy Medical Clinic hosting annual fundraiser

By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The Will-Grundy Medical Clinic will host its 29th annual dinner Wednesday.

The event, held at the Patrick C. Haley Mansion in Joliet, will be from 5:30 to 8 p.m. The evening raises funds for the only community sponsored health care available in the two counties.

The clinic is often the last resort for health care to those in need. But as a nonprofit, it relies on donations to fulfill its mission.

The clinic promotes wellness,

manages chronic disease and organizes surgical procedures and follow-up for 1,000 active patients a year. Annually, it serves as the medical home of more than 750 ongoing patients and 250 new enrollees, according to a news release from the clinic. The Will-Grundy Medical Clinic is estimated to have assisted 8,000 to 10,000 residents during three decades of service in the region.

Executive Director Shawn West said health care remains a challenge for everyone.

“In general, it’s in a very precarious state right now,” West said. “Having a safety net clinic is so important.”

If you go n WHAT: Will-Grundy Medical Clinic’s 29th annual dinner n WHEN: 5:30 to 8 p.m. Wednesday n WHERE: Patrick C. Haley Mansion, 17 S. Center St., Joliet West said if you’re in a healthy community, it’s probably a thriving one.

“That’s part of what makes Will and Grundy counties great places to live. We have that safety net,” she said.

Each dollar raised at the dinner will leverage $11 to $20 in health care because of the generous participation of individual and institutional providers.

The theme of the event is “Diamonds & Denim.” Jeans, jewelry, golf foursomes and sports memorabilia are among the items attendees can buy. Volunteers will be recognized at the dinner.

Tickets are available by calling the Will-Grundy Medical Clinic at 815-726-3377, ext. 225. Ask for Natalie Berglund-McDaniel, development associate. She also can be reached at nmcdaniel@wgmedclinic.org.

Joliet police: 2 in custody after cellphone store robbery

By BRIAN STANLEY

bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Two men were arrested Wednesday afternoon after a holdup at a cellphone store.

Joliet Deputy Chief Al Roechner said that at 12:42 p.m. Wednesday two men wearing dark clothing and masks walked into Sprint-Air 1 Wireless, 2296 Essington Road. Both men were carry-

ing black handguns and told the two employees they were being robbed. No customers were in the store at the time, Roechner said.

“They grabbed approximately 70 iPhones, tied up the employees and left the store through the back entrance,” Roechner said. “An employee of a nearby business saw them get into a dark gray Mazda sedan and gave that description to police.”

bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A proposal to give the mayor of Joliet emergency powers to shut down licensed businesses got preliminary approval Wednesday.

Some questions were raised as to why the authority was being given to the mayor.

But the City Council’s Land Use and Legislative Committee voted 3-0 to recommend approval of the amendment to ordinances regulating business licenses in the city. The proposal needs approval from the full council to take effect.

Not all businesses are licensed in Joliet. But several businesses, including food stores, do need licenses to operate.

Licensed businesses would be subject to a seven-day emergency closure if the mayor deems that they pose a threat to the welfare of the community.

Mayor Bob O’Dekirk has said he has not sought the authority to issue emergency closures and believes it was suggested by the police department.

City Attorney Marty Shanahan told committee members that the powers

would be the same as those the mayor has over liquor establishments as the city’s liquor commissioner.

He said threats to the welfare of the community would be similar to those that would arise under the liquor code and include illegal drugs, prostitution, discharge of firearms, lewd conduct and attempted bribes of police.

Committee Chairman Terry Morris asked why the power was being put in the hands of the mayor.

“Not with our current mayor, but in the future it could be a little political,” Morris said.

Shanahan said the city manager now has the authority to order a hearing to determine if a business license should be suspended, and it would be better for the city manager not to have the same authority to order an emergency closure.

“We thought it best for separation of powers for it not to be the same person,” Shanahan said. “It’s like a checks and balances sort of thing.”

The committee did recommend that a provision be added to the ordinance that the mayor consult with the city attorney before ordering any business to close.

JOLIET – Three men were sentenced Wednesday to prison terms after pleading guilty in unrelated Joliet narcotics cases.

Tyrone Spights Jr., 22, of Joliet was sentenced by Judge Dave Carlson to one year in prison after pleading guilty to drug possession. On Sept. 28, 2016, Spights was pulled over by Will County Sheriff’s Office police in the 800 block of Tyrone Greenfield Drive and Spights Jr. ran from the car, Will County Assistant State’s Attorney Peter Wilkes said.

“As he was being chased by officers, he threw a plastic bag containing heroin near a fence,” Wilkes said.

Phillip J. Dockins, 24, of Joliet, was sentenced by Carlson to five years in prison after pleading guilty to delivery of drugs. On May 19, 2016, Dockins was carrying nearly 7 grams

of cocaine when he met with state police in the 1100 block of East Jackson Street, Wilkes said. At the time of Dockins’ arrest, he had been on parole for a 2014 bur- Phillip J. glary conviction in Dockins Will County.

Carlson then sentenced Bronson L. McElrath, 36, of Cairo to three years in prison for delivery of drugs. On Nov. 9, 2015, McElrath sold an un- Bronson L. dercover Joliet police McElrath officer 20 hydrocodone pills for $100 in a parking lot in the 700 block of West Jefferson Street.

McElrath was on parole at the time for a 2013 aggravated domestic battery conviction in Kankakee County. According to the Department of Corrections, he also has served prison time for unlawful use of a weapon and marijuana possession in Will County.

were changes to the general state aid formula, a Teachers Retirement System cost shift and the lack of a state budget.

According to Forecast5, the district is expected to have a surplus of $335,804 this fiscal year and $341,947 in fiscal 2018, but to drop to a surplus of $1,042 in fiscal 2019.

The district is projected to have budget deficits in fiscal 2020 and beyond – from $481,827 in 2020 to $1.5 million in 2022 – but Crouse said they were not very large, and significant changes in state funding probably will occur before 2021 or 2022.

The Forecast5 presentation noted that 68 percent of the district’s revenue came from property taxes and 9 percent came from other local revenue. Salaries and benefits make up 76 percent of the district’s expenses.

Bond issuance

The board on Tuesday approved two resolutions to issue $7.5 million and $18 million in general obligation bonds.

For the $7.5 million in general obligation refunding school bonds, the district plans to refund the Series 2007C referendum-approved bonds for sav-

ings. The savings for taxpayers is expected to be $143,000, the district said.

For the $18 million in general obligation limited tax school bonds, the district will sell $7 million in bonds for capital projects while refunding $11 million of the outstanding Series 2007A and B bonds for savings, which is estimated to be $930,000.

The latter bonds will carry an Aa3 rating from Moody’s Investors Services. According to Moody’s, bonds rated Aa are judged to be of a high quality and subject to low credit risk.

JOLIET – The effect of a potential two-year property tax freeze for Joliet Township High School District 204 could lead to a loss of about $8.8 million.

That was one of the financial projections presented by Forecast5 Analytics at Tuesday’s school board meeting based on what state lawmakers and Gov. Bruce Rauner have been discussing during state budget talks.

Losing almost $9 million over a property tax freeze is significant, said Ilandus Hampton, the district’s assistant superintendent for business services.

“You never get those dollars back,” Hampton said.

Superintendent Cheryl McCarthy said there’s been state-level talks of a two-year or permanent property tax freeze. Steve Crouse, Forecast5 senior analytics adviser, said a permanent tax freeze would push Illinois into a “referendum state.”

“If you want to increase your revenues, you have to pass a referendum,” he said.

Besides a property tax freeze, other factors that could affect the district in the future considered by Forecast5

ty values and new property growth is expected to increase over the next five years. Student enrollment also is projected to increase, from 6,441 students this year to 7,111 in 2022.

10 Joliet West students charged after

exchanging Snapchat threats

By BRIAN STANLEY

bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Two Joliet West High School students were charged Wednesday after a confrontation escalated into racial slurs and shooting threats.

Joliet Deputy Chief Al Roechner said that police were notified about 10 a.m. after a 17-year-old black student told a dean that a 15-year-old white student had been harassing him.

“The [15-year-old] had sent messages on Snapchat that contained racial slurs and comments about shooting up a school bus,” Roechner said.

Investigation showed that the 17-year-old started the dispute when he took a Snapchat photo outside the 15-year-old’s house and challenged him to a fight, Roechner said.

“Both have been charged with disorderly conduct, and the school will conduct their own investigation,” Roechner said.

Frank Gehrke, the state’s chief Former Rep. Ryan Zinke takes helm of Interior Dept. snow surveyor.

WASHINGTON – Former Montana Rep. Ryan Zinke was sworn in Wednesday as secretary of the Interior Department, assuming oversight of 400 million acres of public land, mostly in the West.

Vice President Mike Pence administered the oath of office hours after the Senate confirmed President Donald Trump’s nomination of Zinke by a vote of 68-31. Several Democrats from Western states as well as those facing tough re-election campaigns next year, including Montana’s Jon Tester, Indiana’s Joe Donnelly and Joe Manchin of West Virginia, voted for Zinke, a Republican.

Zinke pledged to “get to work” immediately and said he knows he’ll “be held accountable to get things done.”

Trump embraces pomp, circumstance of address

By KEN THOMAS and JULIE PACE The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – Most mornings, President Donald Trump gathers business leaders, union executives or others at the White House for made-for-television meetings meant to project the image of a can-do chief executive.

Trump sits at the center of one of the White House’s ornate meeting rooms, offers brief remarks and invites assembled journalists to stick around to hear his guests praise his plans.

Few tangible policy decisions emerge from the listening sessions. But the public parts of the meeting are carried in full on cable TV, underscoring the ways in which an unconventional new president is using the traditional trappings of the office to his advantage.

Playing the role of president is a crucial skill that doesn’t always come easily to Oval Office occupants. The theater of the presidency can’t fully mask policy fumbles or awkward disputes, but it can shape the way in which a commander in chief is perceived by the public and can help keep anxious political allies in line.

That was particularly evident Tuesday night, when Trump delivered his first address to a joint session of Congress.

The new president stepped into the House chamber with historically low public approval ratings after a turbulent start to his administration. Some Republicans are growing weary of his refusal – or inability – to stop hurling personal insults and his seeming unwillingness to focus on the GOP’s ambitious domestic policy agenda.

Trump responded by embracing both the traditional pomp and decorum of a presidential address. He delivered a restrained and largely optimistic speech, rarely veering off script. In an emotional high point, he singled out the widow of a fallen Navy SEAL who was sitting in the guest box and joined lawmakers in sustained applause for her husband’s sacrifice.

Republicans swooned.

“You saw an outsider last night sort of hit his stride,” declared Sen. David Perdue of Georgia.

Former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty called the address “less Mad Max and more Ronald Reagan.”

“It buys him some good will and some time to fill out more positions and the roadmap of where they want to go,” Pawlenty said.

To the president’s critics, it was a frustrating reminder that Trump is often judged by a different standard and praised for stylistic shifts that rarely stick.

“For all the past talk of pivots that never happened, the reality is he’s going to benefit like last night from the trappings of the presidency,” said Brian Fallon, a former top communications aide to Hillary Clinton’s campaign.

After celebrating the speech with the president over hot dogs and popcorn in the White House residence late Tuesday night, White House aides moved swiftly to keep a good moment going.

Plans to follow Trump’s speech with the signing of a revamped, yet still controversial, travel ban executive order Wednesday were delayed, so the administration avoided trampling on the looping highlight reel of Trump’s speech on cable TV. Press secretary Sean Spicer’s daily briefing, which has become a must-watch TV event, was switched to an off-camera gaggle.

One of the surprising paradoxes of Trump’s stunning political rise is that the former reality TV star hasn’t always succeeded on the biggest stages. He promised a high-wattage show at the Republican National Convention, but the fourday gathering was often disjointed and lacked star power.

Trump gave uneven performances in his three debates against Clinton and he stepped on his own inaugural message by complaining that the crowd size wasn’t being accurately covered.

If you’re running for office anytime soon, or if you currently hold office or are a “public figure,” please try to keep one thing in mind: So far, the only person to prove he can thrive by talking like President Donald Trump is ...

President Donald Trump.

Trump, and only Trump, can insult a war hero because the man was captured by the enemy, joke about grabbing women by the unmentionables, accuse an opponent’s father of participating in a plot to assassinate President John F. Kennedy and still be elected to the highest office in the land.

Heck, Trump may have even been right when he joked during the campaign: “I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn’t lose voters.”

But don’t even think of trying this at home.

The President’s election was not a permission slip allowing everybody to now say the most outrageous things that come to mind.

Trump changed the rules last year for himself, not anybody else – or, at least, not yet.

Say something stupid and the media – both news and social – will whack you but good and it won’t turn out nearly as well as it did for candidate Trump.

Indeed, if anything, the climate right now seems more antithetical than ever to saying silly things in public.

Earlier this month, an unopposed candidate for an Arlington Heights village board spot named Joe Favia had to drop out of his race after posting something truly stupid about women on Facebook. After the national women’s marches in January, he posted a meme which read “In one day, Trump got more fat women out walking than Michelle Obama did in 8 years.”

Again, he was an unopposed candidate.

You don’t usually get a more sure thing in politics than an unopposed campaign.

Not for that dude.

He gone.

Danville Township Assessor Rick Rohrer, a Democrat, posted the very same meme to his Facebook page and the chairwoman and treasurer of the Vermillion County Democratic Party were so furious that they both resigned in disgust.

Just last week, the sports anchor for the most-watched television station in Chicagoland, Mark Giangreco, was slapped with a weekslong suspension for tweeting something stupid about the President and his supporters: “America exposed as a country full of simpletons who allowed this cartoon lunatic to be ‘elected.’ ” Also, have you seen Gov. Bruce Rauner lately?

The formerly elbow-throwing, defiant Re-

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

VIEWS Rich Miller publican frat jock is now talking like the dearly departed host of “Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood.”

I seriously doubt that Rauner just naturally morphed from a tough guy who has called just about everybody from the judges to the two state legislative leaders to most of the General Assembly “corrupt,” into a soft-spoken yogi who gently speaks of compromise, peace and harmony.

Rauner’s campaign team has the cash to poll-test and focus group just about everything, and the governor is infamous for relentlessly staying on script.

He and his people obviously know things have changed.

So, when probable Democratic gubernatorial candidate JB Pritzker woke up early one morning last week and, according to an aide, decided to mock the far right’s incendiary rhetoric by tweeting, “As a protest against Trump’s rescinding protections for trans kids, everyone should use the other gender’s bathroom today! #protecttranskids,” he should’ve first taken a deep breath, had another cup of coffee, maybe called a friend or two and then realized he was about to make himself look like just another billionaire who can’t control himself on Twitter.

Please leave the jokes to the professionals (who, by the way, are regularly put through the public meat grinder for their misfired attempts at humor).

I’m not arguing here for an utterly bland, completely “politically correct” public discourse.

I’m just arguing for a little common sense and a bit of self awareness.

Just because calling some women fat worked for Trump, doesn’t mean it’s gonna work for low-level candidates and elected officials.

Insulting millions of Americans and questioning the nation’s electoral system also worked for Trump, but it is a no-go for a TV talking head.

And appearing to urge men to enter women’s restrooms as some sort of protest shows exactly zero common sense, no matter what the climate may be right now and no matter how well-intentioned the act may have been.

If you can’t do that, then delete your account.

Illinois residents held hostage

To the Editor: We are being held hostage by our representatives who are sworn in to do as the people wish.

For two years now, we are still without a balanced budget and are going deeper in debt.

It’s time these fat cats get off there [but] and start working for the people or resign and let the honest people run for office. These lifers are only looking out for themselves and what they can get.

It’s time to get rid of them all and take their ill gotten pen-

sion away and put the money back into the state, where it belongs.

It’s time to stand up and fight for what’s right.

Taxes, taxes and more taxes on the people is not the way to solve the problem when you can’t trust those to spend the money wisely .

This is a fact that has been repeated over and over again by these so called politicians.

Enough is enough. Illinois is the laughing stock of America and President Lincoln is rolling in his grave at what this state has become.

I am tired of the stuff that they are shoveling and expect us to believe.

If there is an honest person among them, let him stand up and tell the truth for once.

Oh, did I just ask that question?

We all know that they truly can’t answer that with a straight face since they have been lying to us for so long.

Again, I ask you all to stand up and fight back for your rights here in Illinois. We deserve better and should not settle for less.

BOYS BASKETBALL CLASS 4A JOLIET CATHOLIC ACADEMY REGIONAL SEMIFINAL: JOLIET CATHOLIC 40, OAK FOREST 37

MATTER OF SURVIVAL

JCA beats Oak Forest, advances to regional final vs. Hillcrest

By DICK GOSS

dgoss@shawmedia.com JOLIET – All you want to do at this time of year is survive and advance.

That’s the way it was for the Joliet Catholic Academy boys basketball

team Wednesday night as the Hilltoppers overcame their shortcomings with grit and hustle to score a 40-37 victory over Oak Forest in the semifinals of the Class 3A regional JCA is hosting. The Hilltoppers never before have hosted a regional.

The reward for coach Joe Gura’s team (13-14), the No. 4 seed in one sub-sectional of the Plano Sectional, is a date with No. 1 Hillcrest (18-7) at 7 p.m. Friday for the regional title.

Gura put the thrilling semifinal in perspective.

“Oak Forest did all they were supposed to do,” he said. “Give them a lot of credit. Both teams played hard, both teams tried to execute and both teams made mistakes.

“And you know what, it was good theater.”

That good theater came down to the wire. Pete Ragen scored from inside with 2:02 left and hit two free throws with 0:14.9 remaining. In between, Brendon Wills knocked down two foul shots with 1:18 to go.Other than that, the Hilltoppers had to get the job done

defensively. Aidan Tyrell made a huge steal and was fouled with 0:03.2 left but missed both free throws, and Oak Forest’s top scorer, Jake Jones, got off a 25foot 3-pointer that bounced off the side of the rim at the buzzer.

“The thing I liked most about tonight is that the guys decided at halftime that they were not going to lose,” Gura said. “Of course, if Dexter [Spencer] doesn’t hit those 3s in the second half, we wouldn’t be playing Friday.

18 BOYS BASKETBALL CLASS 3A RICH SOUTH REGIONAL SEMIFINAL: RICH EAST 68, PROVIDENCE CATHOLIC 61

Rich East ousts Providence with big 4th quarter

By JEFF DE GRAW

Shaw Media correspondent RICHTON PARK – The Providence Catholic boys basketball team ran into a Rich East team Wednesday night at the Class 3A Rich South Sectional that was at full strength, something that has rarely happened for the Rockets this season.

Injuries played a role all season and their sixth seed was not an indication of how good they can be in the playoffs. The Rockets used a big fourth quarter to beat the Celtics, 68-61.

East will play Rich Central in the regional final Friday night.

Providence was down, 31-22, starting the third quarter, but the Celtics took advantage of five East turnovers and quickly got back in the game.

Jake Schutter, who ended the night with 24 points, hit his second 3-pointer

of the quarter with 1:49 remaining to give the Celtics a 44-43 lead. Schutter hit another 3 forty seconds later, and the Celtics were up, 47-43.

East scored at the buzzer and the Celtics took a 47-45 lead into the final quarter.

Schutter, the senior who will continue his career at Wisconsin-Platteville, scored 15 points in the third quarter from everywhere on the floor as the Celtics outscored the Rockets, 25-14, in the quarter.

“We didn’t want this to be our last game,” Schutter said. “We talked at halftime and came out to start that third quarter with a great, new attitude and played very aggressive and it showed. I’m so proud to have been a Celtic and it has been a great experience.”

“We really came out of the locker room and applied the pressure to start

the second half,” Providence coach Tim Trendel said. “We really looked good, were aggressive and took advantage of every opportunity to get back in the game.”

Rich East turned the tables on Providence in the decisive fourth quarter, outscoring the Celtics, 23-14.

With the score 53-52 Rockets with 5:14 left, they went on a 7-0 run to make it 60-52 with only 3:30 left.

“We were really worn down in that fourth quarter,” Trendel said. “Having Mike [Drew] on the bench with foul trouble really hurt. That is when they made their run in the fourth quarter.”

Drew finished with 16 points, scoring eight points in each half, and collected seven rebounds. Adam Taylor added nine points for the Celtics The first quarter was the typical getting into the flow of the game as

it was a back-and-forth quarter until the Celtics’ Mike Drew hit a shot at the buzzer to end the quarter leading 13-12.

Rich East then hit four 3-pointers in the second quarter and forced Providence into seven turnovers as the Rockets took a 31-22 halftime lead.

The Celtics didn’t help matters as they shot 3 for 11 in the quarter.

“We were too passive in that first half,” Trendel said. “That was on me.

We played our style in the third quarter and you saw the difference. Their big man inside [Barry Scott] was a big difference. He wasn’t on the floor the first time we played them. With his size at 6-7, we were a little intimidated early and that showed in the second quarter.

“Our kids played hard. I’m proud of them. They never quit tonight and it’s a tough way to end the season.”

• JCA

Continued from page 17 “And then at the end, I put our ballhandler and defender in, A.T. [Tyrell], and he made the big steal at the end that prevented the last shot.”

Spencer came off the bench in the second half and hit three 3-pointers and Ragen chipped in one. That gave JCA a 34-30 lead early in the fourth quarter, but not for long as Oak Forest (14-13) went on a 5-0 run to lead 35-34.

The Hilltoppers were missing some shots, layups and free throws that could have made things more comfortable. But after Ragen’s basket at the 2:02 mark, JCA did not trail again.

“Most of the time when I get in the game, I like to see what’s available to me,” Spencer said. “Tonight I was able to get to a spot to get an open shot.

Maybe I was a key component in the game, but if it wasn’t for our team ball movement, I never would have been in that position.”

“Dexter transferred in here this year, and he was one of those guys who had to go through a rough transition,” Ragen said. “But he is the most positive kid I know. He comes in the game ready to contribute, and tonight he was hitting his jump shots.”

Wills hit two 3-pointers in the first half and finished with 10 points. Ragen and Spencer had nine and Donavan Finch chipped in eight points and five boards. JCA finished 7 of 13 from 3-point range, which was huge.

Wills also was a factor on the defensive end. The Hilltoppers played some straight man-to-man, some zone and at times put a box-and-one on Jones, with

Oak Forest’s Shawn Cabalfin tries to defend JCA’s Dexter Spencer during Wednesday night’s Class 3A regional semifinal at Joliet Catholic Academy.

Wills hounding him. Jones finished with a game-high 17 points.

“If we could have made some of those free throws and layups that we missed, we could have built a little bit of a comfort margin,” Gura said. “But we came back and won.

“My dad told me a long time ago, you can’t win unless you’re in the game. We’ll be in the game Friday.”

The Hilltoppers trailed at halftime, 21-19. They came out on fire, hitting their first five shots, including 3-pointers from Tyrell and Wills, in creating a 12-7 lead. However, they then scored two points over the next 10 /2 minutes and were trailing 19-14 before a Wills 3-pointer and a Finch jumper tightened things at the break.

“For whatever reason, we came out

sluggish,” Ragen said. “We rushed a lot of inside shots, expecting contact instead of concentrating on making the shot.

“But we got through it, and we play Friday. I think if we do everything we should defensively the way we did against Marian Catholic and Benet, we should be able to get out and play our game offensively more.”

My teammates helped a lot tonight by rotating over and playing good team defense. Coming into this year, we knew that we had a special team, so breaking a school record was a huge accomplishment, and we just want to keep it going.”

After scoring three points in the opening half, Smietanski doubled

that total in the third quarter to give the Porters an 11-6 advantage in that period to pull them to within 31-22 with eight minutes remaining.

But the Griffins responded by scoring the initial six points of the final quarter to go up 37-22 with 6:24 left as Aluyi made jumpers before and after a layup from Shafer.

And then after Smietanski hit a pair of free throws, Buggemi hit a 3-pointer and Nick Marietti made two free throws and then a layup to boost East’s lead to 44-24 with 4:05 left.

“They have multiple guys who can put the ball in the basket, and clearly in the last couple of weeks we’ve struggled making open shots, and it happened again tonight,” Porters coach Brett Hespell said. “That hurts when you play a good team that’s well-coached. Defensively, I thought we were real solid, but we had to hit some open shots.

“You want to win games, but more important than that, it’s who your kids are and who they’re going to become. We had a bunch of guys who are well on their way to becoming successful adults who represented Lockport very well. And that’s what I’m most proud of.”

BOYS BASKETBALL CLASS 4A PLAINFIELD CENTRAL REGIONAL SEMIFINAL: ROMEOVILLE 70, OSWEGO EAST 54

22-0 run powers Romeoville past Oswego East

By JOSH WELGE

jwelge@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – It was a simple, direct message.

When Romeoville coach Marc Howard called timeout with his team down nine in the third quarter Wednesday, he promised no tomorrows.

“He told us to play hard,” Spartans junior Dontia Johnson said. “Win, or go home.”

Johnson took it to heart. The Spartans aren’t going home.

The 6-foot-7 forward scored 10 of his 22 points during a stunning 22-0 run that spanned the third and fourth quarters. Seventh-seeded Romeoville went on to a 70-54 win over 10th-seeded Oswego East in the semifinals of the Class 4A Plainfield Central Regional.

The teams split two games during the regular season, but it’s Romeoville (16-11) moving on to face Joliet West in Friday’s regional final.

“Oswego East battled us tonight,”

Howard said. “It was looking pretty rough there for a while. We told our kids there’s no tomorrow, to trust the process and grind it out, and that’s what we did.”

DeAndre Heckard added 16 points, and Ibam Padilla had 13 big points off the bench for Romeoville.

The Spartans trailed, 15-12, after a quarter, 32-29 at halftime, and were staring at a 45-36 deficit with 2:50 left in the third quarter after Stephon Harris’ driving reverse layup for Oswego East (15-12).

Romeoville’s Mike Salter, scoreless until the third quarter, answered with his second 3-pointer out of a timeout.

“He hit two big shots, gave us belief that we could still win this game,” Howard said.

Padilla followed with a steal and breakaway layup, and Heckard scored on a putback. When Johnson followed with a 3-point play, Romeoville had its first lead since the first quarter at 4645.

“We started off slow. Today wasn’t the day for that,” Johnson said. “Coach got on us.”

Johnson was a matchup nightmare for Oswego East. He scored off drives and putbacks, and got in the passing lanes to create havoc defensively. He capped off his night with a steal and dunk.

“He’s 6-7 with guard skills,” Howard said. “I’ve been saying all year that when he’s focused he’s hard to contain.”

There’s a reason for those guard skills.

“I used to be a point guard until I got to high school,” Johnson said.

“That’s definitely an advantage I have.

Big men have a hard time staying in front of me.”

Players such as Johnson and Heckard gave Oswego East fits attacking the basket. Heckard, who had 12 of his 16 in the second half and also grabbed eight rebounds, also finished his night with a slam dunk in the closing min-

utes.

“He was a beast down the stretch,” Howard said. “He got downhill, and once he gets downhill he’s hard to contain.”

Harris scored 15 points, and A.J. Hughes added 13 for Oswego East, which had won three straight games coming in. The Wolves turned it over just four times in the first half, but had eight during a dry spell of 7:04 during Romeoville’s 22-0 run.

“For 22 minutes we did everything we had to do. I can’t describe it,” Wolves coach Steve Szymanski said.

“Romeoville is a great team. They have three very good players, and their other kids stepped up tonight.”

Johnson and the Spartans are eager for a third crack at Joliet West.

Romeoville lost both regular-season games, but the second one was closer, a 69-66 finish.

“That’s the one I wanted,” Johnson said. “People don’t expect us to win.

We want to prove them wrong.”

JOLIET – Lincoln-Way East’s boys basketball team had a couple of different goals that it looked for in Wednesday’s Class 4A Joliet Central Regional semifinal against Lockport.

The Griffins were not only hoping to advance to Friday’s 7 p.m. championship game against the host Steelmen but also were trying to establish a new school record for most victories in a season, breaking the standard that had been set with 19 wins in the 2002-03 campaign.

Thanks to some hot shooting from long-range by Sam Shafer in the early going and a good defensive effort, East jumped out to a 9-2 advantage after one quarter and stretched it to 25-11 at halftime before going on to capture a 51-31 victory.

It was the team’s second meeting in eight days. In last Tuesday’s regular season finale for both, the Griffins (20-10) defeated the Porters (1216) by a 61-50 score.

“We were concerned since it’s only been a week since we played and this was the third time that we were playing them,” Griffins coach Rich Kolimas said. “So they were familiar with us, but we were familiar with

them. It was nice that Sam hit a couple of long ones for us early.

“It was just a matter of us playing defense tonight, and I thought our defense in the first half was absolutely outstanding. In the third quarter, we got a little lethargic and they started to make a run at us. It’s been an enjoyable ride, and these guys have worked hard all year. They’re a special group, and hopefully we can keep it going.”

Shafer (17 points) connected on three 3-pointers in the opening quarter, and East opened the second period with a 9-1 run as Zach Parduhn (eight points) hit a layup and a trey and assisted Shafer on a layup before Dorian Aluyi (eight points) got a steal and a layup to give it a 18-3 lead with 4:23 left in the opening half.

Chase Travis (nine points) ended the drought for the Porters, making a 3-point play with 3:53 remaining in the second quarter.

They pulled to within 18-9 on a 3-pointer by Matt Smietanski (13 points), but Max Shafer (five points) made two layups surrounding a trey from Joey Buggemi (seven points) to build a 14-point halftime lead.

“I thought that we played great team defense and held them to only two points in the first quarter,” Bug-

Foltynewicz retires nobody, but retires everybody Spring training is in its infant stages, but already some interesting things have occurred in regard to our Joliet-area major leaguers.

For example, there’s Minooka graduate Mike Foltynewicz, the Atlanta Braves right-hander who is bidding for a spot in the rotation that was bolstered by offseason additions of Bartolo Colon, A.J. Dickey and Jaime Garcia.

Foltynewicz made his first start of the spring Tuesday against St. Louis and worked two scoreless innings, allowing two hits and a walk while striking out one. Reports are he threw the ball well, so all is well, right?

Perhaps, but his first inning was one for the books. He allowed the two hits and the walk that inning, yet faced only three batters. Two pickoffs, one of which resulted in two outs, allowed that to happen.

“You’re laughing and just thinking to yourself, ‘How lucky,’ ” Foltynewicz was quoted in a story on mlb. com. “That could have been a breakout inning for them.”

The first batter singled, and Foltynewicz picked him off. Another single, then a walk. Foltynewicz fooled the runner on second with a double look, and the Braves caught him in a rundown. After he was tagged out, a throw across the diamond nailed the other runner who had wandered too

VIEWS Dick Goss far from first.

“I didn’t get the outs the normal way, I just had to get them the hard way,” Foltynewicz said. “That’s baseball.”

Foltynewicz made 22 starts for the Braves in 2016 and went 9-5 with a 4.31 ERA. In 1231/3 innings, he allowed 125 hits and 35 walks while striking out 111.

He might wind up enjoying a long major league career, but even if he does, he is not likely to ever have another inning where he faces three batters, allows two hits and a walk and retires the side.

Or, maybe it is true that the strangest things happen in spring training.

• Tanner Roark: The Washington Nationals right-hander and Wilmington graduate made one spring start so far and pitched three shutout innings against St. Louis, allowing two hits, striking out four and walking nobody. He threw 26 strikes and 11 balls.

Roark likely will get one more start with the Nationals before leaving camp to join Team USA for the World Baseball Classic. He has been told he will pitch in the USA’s second

game March 11, which will be against defending champion Dominican Republic.

Most pitchers at this time of the spring are not as far along as Roark, but he has worked in the offseason to be ready early, with the World Baseball Classic in mind.

“You get to represent your country. ... It’s a cool thing to go headto-head against other countries and try to come out on top,” Roark was quoted on mlb.com.

Roark enjoyed a banner season in 2016, finishing 16-10 with a 2.83 ERA. He appeared in 34 games, starting 33, and worked 210 innings, allowing 173 hits and 73 walks while striking out 172. Opponents hit .228 against him.

• Tony Cingrani: The Cincinnati Reds do not figure to be very good this season, and manager Bryan Price is not above experimenting with his bullpen. He has said he may use a closer-by-committee approach, with left-hander Cingrani (Lincoln-Way Central) in that mix with Raisel Inglesias, Drew Storen and Michael Lorenzen.

So far this spring, Cingrani has pitched a hitless, scoreless inning with one walk and no strikeouts.

Last season, he converted 17 of 23 save opportunities and was 2-5 with a 4.14 ERA. He appeared in 65 games, pitched 63 innings and allowed 54 hits and 37 walks. He struck out 49.

• Sam Travis: A video that appeared on the Boston Red Sox’s official website showed Travis (Providence) pulling a shot well beyond the leftfield fence in Tuesday’s game against the Yankees.

That’s especially significant because the right-handed hitting Travis already has shown he can drive the ball to all fields. What the Red Sox want to see next is an increase in power numbers.

Travis is 3 for 8 in the spring with every hit going for extra bases – the other two are doubles. He has hit consistently in the minor leagues and might have made his major league debut last season had he not torn an ACL during a rundown play in late May. Travis, who is settling in as a first baseman, is ranked as the No. 4 Red Sox prospect. He teamed with the Cubs’ Kyle Schwarber at Indiana as the duo led the Hoosiers to the College World Series in 2013 and to Big Ten championships in 2013 and 2014.

They were considered as devastating a 3-4 tandem as there was in any lineup in the country.

If Travis can hit anything like Schwarber when he gets to the big leagues, he should have an excellent career.

BOYS BASKETBALL CLASS 3A COAL CITY REGIONAL SEMIFINAL: MORRIS 57, STREATOR 52

Morris topples Streator to advance to Class 3A regional final

By ROB OESTERLE

roesterle@shawmedia.com COAL CITY – Things were going Morris’ way at the start and at the finish of Wednesday night’s Class 3A Coal City boys basketball regional semifinal against Streator.

In the end, that was enough, as the Redskins (12-15) used a 14-4 opening burst in the first quarter to build a big enough cushion to hold off Streator’s comeback attempts, and they made 11 of 12 free throws in the final 1:07 to ice the game. Morris won, 57-52.

The win propels Morris into the championship game, where it will take on Pontiac. Pontiac, the lowest seed in the regional, knocked off top-seeded Sandwich, 61-56, in the other semifinal game Wednesday night.

“Pontiac in the postseason is always tough,” Morris coach Joe Blumberg said. “They are the lowest seed, and now they have wins Monday and Wednesday. They are on a

“It’s not often we have a game where we only make two 3-pointers. But we challenged the guys before the game that we wanted to attack the rim and draw fouls, and get to the free-throw line. I thought we did a very good job of that.”

roll and playing with a lot of confidence. I wouldn’t expect anything less of them come Friday.”

Morris will be brimming with confidence as well, having one of its best offensive outputs of the season.

Matt Shaw led the Redskins with 17 points, while JaQuan Boxley scored 14.

Delaney Stutzki and Nathaniel Halcomb each chipped in with nine points, while Josh Lain added four.

“It’s not often we have a game where we only make two 3-pointers,” Blumberg said. “But we challenged the guys before the game that we

wanted to attack the rim and draw fouls, and get to the free-throw line.

I thought we did a very good job of that.

“Nathanial Halcomb did a great job on both offense and defense tonight. He posted up strong and finished when he got the ball and, on defense, he was able to frustrate [Streator’s D’Angelo] Pryor and get him in foul trouble early. That was huge for us.”

Morris was the beneficiary of two technical fouls on the Bulldogs in the early part of the first quarter, and Shaw converted all four free throws

to help the Redskins build their 14-4 lead.

That lead was 19-13 at the end of the first quarter and 32-25 at halftime.

Streator, however, kept battling and closed to within 40-37 entering the fourth and even tied it at 43 with 3:46 to play on a Pryor free throw.

After that, however, Boxley made the back end of a pair of free throws, and Halcomb took a feed from Tyler Spiezio and scored underneath to put Morris back ahead, 46-43, setting the stage for the free-throw clinic that the Redskins put on in the final 1:07.

Stutzki was 7 of 8, while Boxley was a perfect 4 of 4, offsetting three 3-pointers by Streator in the final minute of play.

“We knew coming into this regional that it would be pretty wideopen as far as who could win it,” Blumberg said. “We need to come out and play Friday like we did tonight, because Pontiac is going to give us everything they have.”

The 30-year-old first baseman is expected to testify again Thursday morning.

Abreu won’t be prosecuted if he tells the truth on the stand – he testified under a grant of limited immunity for his illegal conduct. Oth-

er Cuban players also have testified, including Adeiny Hechavarria of the Miami Marlins and Leonys Martin of the Seattle Mariners, and more are expected to.

The American League Rookie of the Year in 2014, Abreu has produced three consecutive seasons of 30-plus doubles, 25 or more homers and 100 or more RBIs, the first Sox to accomplish that feat. After hitting a home run against the Cubs in the Sox’s Cactus League game Monday, Abreu left

BLACKHAWKS 4, PENGUINS 1

Patrick Kane has hat trick, Blackhawks beat Penguins

By MATT CARLSON The Associated Press

CHICAGO – Patrick Kane had his second hat trick in three games, Scott Darling made 36 saves and the Blackhawks beat the Pittsburgh Penguins, 4-1, on Wednesday night for their fifth straight victory and 10th in 11 games.

Richard Panik also scored to help the Hawks pull within three points of first-place Minnesota in the Central Division and Western Conference. Kane, last season’s MVP, has a team-leading 27 goals – scoring 12 times and adding seven assists in his last 11 games.

Scott Wilson scored for Pittsburgh as the Penguins fell short again after a 3-2

loss at Dallas on Tuesday night. It was the first meeting this season between the last two Stanley Cup winners.

Darling started a second straight game in place of Corey Crawford, the No. 1 goalie who has been fighting an illness. Crawford said he felt much better after Wednesday’s morning skate and was on the bench to back up Darling.

Marc-Andre Fleury stopped 25 shots for Pittsburgh in his first start in two weeks.

Hawks center Artem Anisimov left the game in the second period with an undisclosed injury.

The Penguins and Hawks both made deals for defensemen before Wednes-

day’s trade deadline. The teams added blue line depth as they once again aim for deep postseason runs.

The defending champion Penguins kept Fleury through the deadline, opting to keep the franchise’s all-time leader in victories while instead trading draft picks and role players to bolster an injury-ravaged defense.

Defenseman Johnny Oduya, reacquired by the Hawks from Dallas on Tuesday night, arrived at the United Center a few hours before Wednesday’s game but didn’t play.

Kane opened the scoring at 8:49 of the second. Rookie Nick Schmaltz stripped the puck from Jake Guentzel at the Hawks blue line, then quickly whipped

it the other direction to Kane who closed in on a 2 on 1. Kane fooled Fleury with a low shot between the legs,.

Wilson tied it at 1 with 3 minutes left in the second on a rising backhander from the right circle that slipped over Darling’s glove.

Wilson’s shot popped back out of the net so quickly that the goal wasn’t immediately ruled a score. Play continued for 29 seconds before the horn sounded, and the goal underwent a video review and was allowed.

Panik put the Hawks back in front 2-1 with 24 seconds left in the period with 17th goal. He made a power move down the slot around Chris Kunitz and beat Fleury high on the glove side.

GLENDALE, Ariz. – Jose Abreu went to great lengths and through harrowing experiences to play baseball for the White Sox, including a scary 12-hour ride on a small boat with family members from Cuba to Haiti four years ago.

Testifying in federal court in Miami at the trial of two people accused of alien smuggling and conspiracy Wednesday, Abreu shed even more light on what he went through to defect from his home country to the U.S., telling jurors he ate a chunk of a fake passport on a commercial airline flight to the U.S. The Sox slugger said he was anxiously trying to cover his illegal travel as part of a smuggling operation for Cuban players.

Traveling on a plane from Haiti to Miami, Abreu slowly consumed the page containing a false name and his photo, washing it down with a Heineken beer he had ordered. Abreu said he was traveling illegally because he was worried about missing an October 2013 deadline and losing a $68 million contract the Sox had on the table.

“If I had not been there on that particular day, the deadline, then the contract would not be executed and would no longer be valid,” Abreu told jurors. “We had to be in Chicago to sign the contract.”

Abreu is not accused of wrongdoing in the case. On trial are Florida-based sports agent Bartolo Hernandez and trainer Julio Estrada,

for Miami to testify. The Sox said they are expecting Abreu to return to the team Thursday night in Glendale.

Abreu told jurors he got the fake passport in Haiti, where he had been taken along with his family from Cuba on that boat in August 2013. He said his main contact and fixer there was Amin Latouff, who was indicted along with Hernandez and Estrada but who has not been arrested.

Latouff got the passport and booked the flight, Abreu said, telling him to destroy the document on the plane. Abreu said he chewed it up in his seat.

“Little by little, I swallowed that first page of the passport. I could not arrive in the United States with a false passport,” he said.

After Abreu first joined the Sox, he was close to Estrada and often was seen in his company. Abreu testified that Hernandez and his partners negotiated his deal with the Sox and that Estrada oversaw his training, lodging and other needs when he was in the Dominican and Haiti. Estrada’s company, Total Baseball, was to be paid 20 percent of Abreu’s contract, and Hernandez was to receive 5 percent.

Abreu paid at least $5.8 million to them in 2014, prosecutors say.

Abreu said it was his idea to get the illegal Haiti travel document, and he asked Latouff for help.

“I trusted that he was someone who could help me, and I confided in him that secret,” Abreu testified.

The trial has lasted about a month and is expected to continue a few more weeks.

22 NFL COMBINE

Pace building Bears for long haul

INDIANAPOLIS – For those of us on the NFL beat, the combine is our version of La La Land, with open access to almost every head coach and general manager in the NFL, plus the gold that can be mined depending on who you might just bump into in the cavernous halls of the Indiana Convention Center.

The problem, however, is that we all still are at work, and their jobs are to make sure everyone else knows as little as possible about whatever they’re thinking relative to free agency and the draft to maintain as solid a competitive advantage as they can.

That leaves us listening and watching as intently as we can for every phrase, inflection, expression and slip of the tongue we can to try to gauge the particular direction a club might be heading.

So, I’m here to report that I think Bears GM Ryan Pace is preparing for another year of rebuilding with his focus on a perennial contender over winning football games in 2017.

Consider Pace’s response when asked about the decision to let receiver Alshon Jeffery test the free-agent market.

“It was thought out thor-

BEARS NOTES

Bears prepared for Jeffery to hit market next week

By KEVIN FISHBAIN

kfishbain@profootballweekly.com INDIANAPOLIS – Bears general manager Ryan Pace is prepared for Alshon Jeffery to hit the market, but wouldn’t rule out a return for the team’s best receiver.

Pace also said Jay Cutler’s situation is “fluid,” with “a lot of conversations going on” between the team, Cutler and his agent, Bus Cook.

Welcome to the NFL Scouting Combine, where Pace admits it’s difficult to provide details.

“The two press conferences that are hardest are this one and the one right before the draft,” Pace said. “I’m trying to work with you all, but I hope you appreciate that.”

Pace’s candor reflects the challenge for GMs this week, eight days before free agency opens and two months be-

fore the draft, when no one wants to show his hand.

What we could glean from Pace is where the Bears stand with Jeffery and recovery updates on Kyle Long and Kevin White.

Pace began his media session speaking on Jeffery, who will not receive the franchise tag.

“I think sometimes when you can’t come to a common ground with Alshon Jeffery a player and an agent, sometimes it’s necessary to kind of test the market to determine that player’s value, and that’s really where we’re at,” Pace said. “He’s a good player, and we’ll see how it plays out. But I think there are certain instances where testing the market is a necessary part of the process.”

Pace said tagging Jeffery for the second year in a row “really wasn’t an

option,” but that he will have “a lot of conversations” with Jeffery’s agent, Tory Dandy, throughout the week.

As for what the Bears can sell Jeffery on, coach John Fox said it would start with familiarity.

“I’d say [Jeffery] knows us better than anybody else he could potentially go to,” Fox said. “I think it’s a positive feeling. With typically these things, it comes down to the market value. It’s like walking into a store right now at this time of year and there’s no price tags. We kind of develop that moving forward. My experience has been that’s a very fluid process.”

White’s status: If Jeffery exits via free agency, that only heightens the importance of getting a healthy Kevin White on the field to produce like the No. 1 receiver the Bears drafted him to be.

“He’s coming along fast. I still have a lot of confidence in him,” Pace said.

“He has a lot of confidence in himself.

We’re getting daily reports on his progress. I just want to see steady, consistent progress from him. Right now, he’s getting his body all in alignment, and he’s feeling good. When I see footage of kind of where he’s at now, I get excited.

I just want to see steady improvement.”

No shoulder surgery for Long: Pace confirmed that the three-time Pro Bowl guard won’t need surgery on his shoulder as he recovers from his ankle surgery.

“It wasn’t just one or two doctors, it was multiple opinions and doctors with a lot of conviction that this was the right thing to do,” Pace said. “He’s strong. He’s kind of a freak genetically. His shoulder’s doing good. There’s going to be maintenance as far as strength and everything, which he’s doing. We don’t have a lot of concerns with that right now.”

Pardon’s layup at buzzer lifts Northwestern over Michigan EVANSTON – Dererk Pardon scored on a layup at the buzzer off a long inbound pass from Nathan Taphorn to give Northwestern a 67-65 victory over Michigan on Wednesday night.

The Wolverines’ Zak Irvin had just missed a 3-pointer in the closing seconds. The ball got knocked out of bounds and, after timeout, Taphorn threw a baseball style pass the length of the court, hitting Pardon in stride for the winning shot.

As the buzzer sounded, fans packing Welsh-Ryan Arena poured onto the court. The win was just what the Wildcats (21-9, 10-7 Big Ten) – trying to make their first NCAA Tournament – needed after dropping five of seven.

Derrick Walton Jr. shook off a slow start to score 15 for Michigan (19-11, 9-8). He hit 4 of 8 3-pointers. Muham-

LIVING THE DREAM

The Rev. Michael Magiera has sung onstage and for God

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

ROCKDALE – The Rev. Michael Magiera recalls the first time he sang in public.

He was in college, part of a choir and “an absolute wreck” even though Magiera knew he could sing well. But, Magiera said, he survived it.

“After that, I was never nervous again,” Magiera said.

The former opera singer became the pastor of St. Joseph Catholic Church at 1329 Belleview Ave. in Rockdale on Dec. 1. He now uses his voice for the Latin Mass he celebrates each Sunday at 10 a.m. and for special projects.

For instance, with the Chicago Symphony and Chicago Lyric Opera orchestras, Magiera recently was the tenor soloist for Mozart’s “Requiem.”

The recording, made for the Society of St. John Cantius, is available through Biretta Books.

“I’m one of the fortunate people that was able to live a dream,” Magiera said.

Magiera has, in fact, lived two dreams: to sing professionally and to be a priest. Magiera pursued the first dream soon after he graduated from Millersville University in Pennsylvania. He taught for one year – from 1975 to 1976 – and quickly realized he would rather perform.

“I was going to be a star,” Magiera said.

So in 1976, Magiera entered Philadelphia’s Academy of Vocal Arts. He rented a roach-infested apartment for $120 a month – utilities included – and stretched $48 worth of food stamps over four weeks.

Returning to his parents’ home was always an option, but Magiera had a strong drive to make it on his own.

“I got along very well with my family, but I had to get out, even though it was hard, very, very hard for me,” Magiera said. “I was poor, and it was one of the happiest times of my life.”

Magiera began his career with Michael Korn and The Philadelphia Singers in 1976. Then, for most of the 1980s, Magiera performed in Europe as part of a German touring opera company.

When he returned to the United States – homesick and missing his family – Magiera found work singing for churches of various denominations – as well as synagogues – which many professional singers do, he said.

Eventually, his childhood dream

Magiera has been a pastor at St. Joseph Catholic Church in Rockdale since December. of becoming a priest resurfaced. The Latin Mass, which Magiera preferred, was “making a comeback.” So in 1998, Magiera entered Our Lady of Guadalupe Seminary, the house of study and formation for the Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter. Magiera was ordained in 2005.

As a member of the fraternity, Magiera is not a diocesan priest, but he may serve in parishes with the local bishop’s blessing. St. Joseph’s also offers an English Mass at 4:15 p.m. Saturdays for parishioners who prefer it.

Magiera said guest priests celebrate that Mass, although he is present. In every other way, he serves as St. Joseph’s pastor, including administering the sacraments and conducting baptisms and weddings. He couldn’t be happier.

“I love every minute of it,” Magiera said. “If you love your job, you never work a day in your life.”

Diocese of Joliet Catholic schools Joliet university joins 125 Catholic implement Cyber Awareness & leaders in support of Clean Power Plan Safety Education curriculum CREST HILL – The Diocese of Joliet Catholic Schools Office announced implementation of a cyber safety curriculum at 12 of its elementary schools in the Joliet Diocese.

The Cyber Awareness & Safety Education curriculum is developed by Cyber Safety Consulting of Glen Ellyn and meets the requirements of the safe environment mandate by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops to “ensure that children and youth who worship, study or participate in activities sponsored by a parish can do so in the safest and most secure setting pos-

sible,” according to www.usccb.org.

Administrators and teachers from these Catholic schools were trained in the curriculum: Bishop McNamara, Holy Family, Bensenville, Holy Ghost, Immaculate Conception, Morris, St. Andrew the Apostle, St. Dominic, St. Joseph, Manhattan, St. Jude, Joliet, St. Mary, Plano, St. Mary Nativity, St. Mary of Gostyn and St. Rose in Wilmington.

JOLIET – The University of St. Francis announced its support of the Clean Power Plan as organized by the Catholic Climate Covenant.

The covenant, established in 2006 by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, addresses growing ecological awareness, and inspires and equips people and institutions to care for both creation and the poor.

USF President Arvid C. Johnson joined 125 U.S. Catholic leaders in signing a letter urging the new Environmental Protection Agency administrator, President Donald Trump, congressional leaders and state governors to adopt the CPP. The CPP calls for a significant de-

crease in carbon pollution from existing power plants, as much as 30 percent by 2030, compared with 2005 levels. The CPP is the nation’s most ambitious effort to reduce climate changing greenhouse pollution.

Catholic leaders supporting the CPP include college and university presidents, holy men and women, theologians, Catholic nonprofit directors and other faith leaders who support Pope Francis, who has emphasized the need for policies that support the development of renewable energy resources.

30 Prevent nosebleeds in cold, dry climates Dear Doctor: We just moved from Miami to northern Michigan, and even though my daily routine hasn’t changed and I’m not on any new medications, I have begun to get a nosebleed every few weeks. Should I be worried?’

Dear Reader: If you had reported the onset of nosebleeds on a daily or even biweekly basis, then we would be having a different discussion.

But you have recently moved from a climate that is warm and moist to one that, in winter, is cold and dry, and this can cause quite a bit of stress to delicate nasal tissues. Add in the effects of the heaters and furnaces that are pumping hot, dry air into homes and offices, and you’ve set the stage for the occasional nosebleed.

Why? A look at the inner workings of the nose will help explain.

Our noses have two main jobs. They not only serve as airways that filter, moisten, and either warm or cool the air we breathe, they are also our scent organs.

Behind the visible portion of the nose that draws in air lies a wonderfully complex series of chambers and canals known as the sinus cavities. These are covered with a specialized lining called the mucosa, which includes numerous mucus glands that keep all the inner surfaces moist.

When cold or dry air causes the nasal membranes to dry out enough that they crack, the result is a nosebleed. This is most common in areas where winters are cold or summers are hot and dry. Because nasal membranes gradually become less robust over time, older adults can be more susceptible to nosebleeds than those who are younger. Individuals on blood-thinning drugs are also at greater risk.

Fortunately, there are a few steps you

SUDOKU

ASK THE DOCTORS Elizabeth Ko and Eve Glazier can take to lessen your chance of another nosebleed. First, try a little tenderness.

When you need to blow your nose to clear it of mucus, do so gently. Instead of abruptly trumpeting full force into a tissue, use the minimum amount of gradual pressure needed to clear your nasal passages.

Using a humidifier, particularly in the bedroom as you sleep, gives your mucus membrane a boost.

Just be sure to stay vigilant about keeping the humidifier clean, as moist air is basically a welcome mat for fungus.

A dab of a water-based ointment inside each nostril will also help to keep things lubricated.

If you do get another nosebleed, don’t panic.

Lean forward (if you lean back, you wind up swallowing blood) and lightly pinch your nostrils together near the bridge of your nose.

This puts pressure on the vessel that’s bleeding and the flow should stop. Give it five minutes and then gently release.

If your nose is still bleeding, pinch again and go for another five minutes. In most cases, bleeding will stop within 10 to 15 minutes.

If your nose is still bleeding after 20 minutes, it’s time to see a doctor.

angry when you ask him to put his electronics down, it appears he may have an obsession. Not only is what he’s doing rude, but it isn’t healthy for your marriage because communication is important between spouses. When he takes his tablet into the bathroom, could he be viewing or texting things he wants to keep from you? Smartphones and tablets can be more unhygienic than toilet seats if they’re used for “toilet texting.” The user’s hands should be washed afterward, and the device should be disinfected, too – particularly if it will be in contact with the user’s face.

Dear Abby: I DEAR ABBY have seen letters in your column Jeanne from parents who Phillips want to ensure their children’s and teenagers’ safety when visiting their friends’ homes. A question parents need to ask the hosting parents is what their drug and alcohol policy is. We wrongly assumed (and trusted) that our daughter’s friends’ parents did not facilitate access to alcohol or drugs to minors. We realized – too late – that from the time she was 15, our daughter had access to unmonitored alcohol and was sometimes encouraged to consume it in these homes. Many parents think it’s OK if teens drink alcohol under supervision, as long as the parents are there and they have the car keys. They rationalize the teens are going to do it anyway, so why not under supervision? What these parents don’t consider is a teen who may have a genetic predisposition to addiction may have a switch turned on in his or her developing brain. Our daughter’s addiction became a long, difficult struggle, which led to the untimely death of our smart and talented daughter at age 24. – Grieving Mom in Reno Dear Grieving Mom: I am sorry for the tragic loss of your daughter. In most states, providing alcohol to minors is against the law, not only for public safety, but also for the reason you stated.

Years ago, I spoke with a gentleman who was active with the National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence (NCADD), when he repeated something he’d heard at an AA meeting. He said the subject being discussed at the meeting was what it felt like having that “very first drink.”

One of the members stood up and said, “It was like someone switched a light on in my head, and I said to myself, ‘So that’s what it’s like to feel normal!’ ” This is why it is imperative that families with a history of addiction make their children aware of it and clearly understand why it’s important they avoid addictive substances even if their friends are indulging.

Dear Abby: My husband is obsessed with his personal electronic devices and insists on using one most of the time. He gets angry if I ask him to stop even for a short time. But the worst part is, he routinely takes his tablet into the bathroom with him for extended periods. And no, he does not sanitize the tablet afterward – or ever, for that matter.

Abby, he reads your column and I’m hoping you might comment on this unsafe and repulsive habit. Please help, because he won’t listen to me. –

HOROSCOPE

By EUGENIA LAST

Newspaper Enterprise Association TODAY – Take time to figure out what you want to do next. Take a trip, educate yourself or choose a hobby or cause that you feel drawn to. Expanding your interests and friendships will encourage you to explore unfamiliar territory, philosophies and pastimes. Aim to get ahead.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Size up your situation and then make a move. Don’t give

anyone a chance to dictate how you should live your life or do your job. If you try hard, you will gain respect.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – An emotional conversation will impart greater meaning to the way you want to do things in the future.

Honesty will promote decisions based on trust and loyalty.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Consider the consequences if you speak up about something you know little about. Gather all the facts before you misrepresent someone who needs your help and support.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – You will find emotional comfort and peace through engaging in meditation and education and trying something altogether different. Broadening your scope

will enhance your respect for others. Build strong alliances.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – A couple of physical changes will boost your spirits. Refuse to let a jealous individual who feels threatened by you discourage your plan to succeed.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – A short trip will be informative. You are best off seeing something firsthand if you want to get involved. Gains will be made if you get the inside scoop.

how your ideas are being perceived and what degree of help will be offered.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Socialize and mix business with pleasure. An honest and open approach will ensure that you are not misinterpreted. Someone will be jealous of your popularity. Leave no room for error.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Settle down and be satisfied with what you have. Too much of anything will lead to added stress and an inability to follow your dreams. Moderation will help you build greater security.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – An emotional incident in the past must not be allowed to interfere with a chance to move forward now.

Make whatever changes are necessary to bypass trouble. Look inward for answers.
