JOLIET – A Will County Board member has requested an independent review of salaries for elected county officials.

Ray Tuminello, R-New Lenox, asked the board’s executive committee Thursday if an independent group could be put together to review the salaries in an effort to make sure officials are receiving proper compensation.

“I want to ask if it’s possible we put together an independent group, outside of government, that could help assist us to determine fair salaries for the positions that represent the work done by [officials], including the County Board,” he said.

Tuminello, who has served on various boards for 15 years, said he wants to avoid a consulting firm because they typically tell boards how salaries compare with those of other government bodies with higher salaries and give an excuse to ratchet up the pay.

“I don’t believe that’s the proper way of doing things,” he said. “I don’t run my business like that.”

Tuminello said he was looking through salary numbers, and they all looked the same.

He said the county offices have varying staff levels and hours of operation.

“It’s difficult for me to understand how a lot of countywide offices get the same pay

when some of the scopes of their [work] is completely different than others,” he said.

Tuminello noted how Will County Sheriff Mike Kelley is in charge of a 24/7 operation with multiple locations, 700 employees and a big budget.

“And yet, his salary is almost identical to an individual who may only have five or six people in the office Monday through Friday,” he said.

Tuminello acknowledged that results might show some officials are underpaid while others are overpaid.

“I’d like to see something more factual,” Tuminello said, adding board members are typically hesitant to make the “correct decision” when asked to approve proposed raises before elections.

He added that many elected county positions haven’t had a raise in 12 years, while some staff have had 30 percent increases in the same time frame.

“Were we too high to begin with? Are we too high now? I don’t know,” Tuminello said.

Committee members were supportive of the review, except for board member Steve Balich, R-Homer Glen, who said he would not be voting for a raise for anyone.

“If other counties pay too much money, why should we be part of raising the base and giving raises to people?” he said.

“When nobody wants to run for the office again, and you have an election with nobody there, OK, then maybe we’re not

paying enough. But every election there’s always more than enough candidates running.”

Tuminello wanted to be clear that he was not asking for raises for anyone. Rather, he wants to see whether everyone is being fairly compensated.

County Board Speaker Jim Moustis, R-Frankfort, said officials don’t put in enough hours for full-time pay, but added the office takes away from some officials’ ability to earn money elsewhere.

Minority Leader Herb Brooks, D-Joliet, said he tried to get a similar review going before Tuminello was elected to the board.

“I always felt that should be looked into,” Brooks said.

Denise Winfrey, D-Joliet, said she supports the review.

“Review does not mean raise, or decrease, it’s a review. It’s a look-at,” Winfrey said, adding that it’s important to consider the time county roles take people away from their regular jobs.

Winfrey and Moustis both said it’s getting more difficult to attract potential candidates. The committee voted to recommend that Will County Center for Economic Development President John Greuling form a group of business owners, educators and economic developers to review overall compensation, including pay, health benefits and retirement. The full board will have to approve the recommendation before it can be executed.

New Lenox-area neighbors dispute over home business

By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The Will County Board is planning to revise its zoning ordinance after some parts of the existing one have created unintended results.

Phil Adair, a New Lenox area resident, has brought his concerns about his neighbor’s home-based business operation to the Will County Land Use Department’s attention in recent months.

Adair’s neighbor, electrician Greg Goorsky, said he’s tried to address every concern brought to him by the county. Because of the time of year, he hasn’t been able to make landscaping changes.

Both men spoke Thursday at a meeting of the board’s executive committee.

Goorsky said other than loading and un-

loading equipment, no work is being done in a building Adair has complained about.

Goorsky said his employees are out in the field. Goorsky said for a month-and-a-half he was taking pictures of his own work vehicle and sending them to the land use department to verify the times he leaves and returns with the vehicle. He said he’s in compliance with current code, and the “borderline harassment” is getting in the way of his work.

“I’m getting calls two or three times a week, I don’t even know what half you people are talking about. Nobody works there. I can only work so fast and get so much stuff done because every time I turn around I’ve gotta talk to the land use department,” Goorsky said.

ON THE COVER

Goorsky is running out of his home is not ideal, they’ve acknowledged that their existing ordinance has allowed it.

County Board Speaker Jim Moustis, R-Frankfort, said the committee isn’t saying Goorsky isn’t in compliance with current code, but the ordinance wasn’t written with his specific business type and property use in mind.

“We may not like the fact that we’ve allowed this to be a home-based business, but currently you’re in compliance,” Moustis told Goorsky.

Vehicles weighing more than 8,000 pounds are not permitted. Goorsky said his work van comes in at about 7,800 pounds.

Will County Land Use Department Director Curt Paddock said the board will have full input and properly vet any possible changes.

Federal and state investigators use buckets to remove pieces of concrete from the basement of a Joliet home along Margaret Street on Feb. 23 while investigating the disappearance of Robin Abrams.

Joliet’s $500 fine is as high as any, but does it work?

By BOB OKON

bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Zack Fleming usually doesn’t use handicapped parking spots, but on some cold, snowy days he’s thankful for them.

Handicapped by a stroke, Fleming said it is a painful challenge to walk in inclement weather when his feet just don’t work as they should.

“It’s almost like you’re going to cut your ankles, because you’re trying so hard to do what your body used to do,” said Fleming, a Joliet resident.

On those days, Fleming puts the required placard on his mirror and uses the handicapped parking spot – if he can find one. And, it’s not always easy, he said, especially on weekends, when store parking lots begin to fill up.

“I usually don’t even bother going out in the afternoon unless there’s something that I have to do,” he said.

“I won’t even try to go to the store.”

The city of Joliet in October 2014 doubled the fine for parking illegally in handicapped parking spots to $500.

The $500 fine might be as high as any in the nation, although it’s not clear whether higher fines help or hurt the cause.

But many, if not most, handicapped parking spots in Joliet still are marked with the $250 signs. And, only in recent months did Joliet begin a push to put out more of the new signs. The violator only has to pay the fine posted at the spot.

Posting $500 fines

John Sheridan, a disability advocate, has been urging city officials to get out the new signs. After Sheridan brought up the matter at a City Council meeting in early February, the city manager set a timetable to have the entire city posted by the end of summer – if Joliet hires a seasonal worker to help.

In the meantime, Sheridan has been taking photos of old $250 signs and sending them to Joliet’s online app for service requests, where he has seen some response.

Sheridan said he was at a Joliet restaurant recently that had eight handicapped parking spots.

“They had the $250 signs,” he said.

“I took a picture of it, and two or three days later they came out with eight

Eric Ginnard – eginnard@shawmedia.com

Disability advocate John Sheridan has been pressing the city of Joliet to replace handicapped parking signs posting a $250 fine with signs posting a $500 fine two years after the city hiked the fine. Sheridan takes photos with his phone and posts them to GoRequest, the city complaint app, which he said gets results. $500 signs.”

The city is providing the signs, even installing them in private parking lots, to get the $500 fines posted without turning the effort into a crackdown on local business.

“It’s not exactly business-friendly to send someone a notice to say they have to change their sign. And what do you do then?” City Manager Jim Hock said. “Give them a ticket and say they have to buy a sign? We’re trying to stay business-friendly.”

Besides, Hock said, it takes resources just to check and check back to see whether signs are being changed, which is one reason the changeover has been slow.

Sheridan believes just the notice of a $500 fine will do some good, even without a strong enforcement program.

“I think if it’s posted at $500, people are going to say, ‘I don’t want to chance it. I don’t have that kind of cash,’ ” Sheridan said.

If he had his way, Sheridan said, the fine would be $750, which is the highest Illinois allows.

Another option

Some state legislatures have considered pushing the fine as high as $1,000, said Mack Marsh, project director for Accessible Parking and Mobility Solutions.

“We find that makes the problem worse,” Marsh said.

The Joliet fine of $500 is found elsewhere in the U.S., Marsh said. He has not seen any that are higher and does not think high fines help anyway.

“We’ve found judges are dismissing the fines because they think they are too high,” he said.

Prosecutors frequently do not push the cases, he said. Police end up not ticketing.

Accessible Parking and Mobility Solutions is a nonprofit with a program aimed at dealing with handicapped parking scofflaws through an

Police: Robin Abrams investigation ongoing, Margaret Street search ends

By BOB OKON

bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Police have completed a search for Robin Abrams in the basement of a Joliet house, and the 27-year mystery of her disappearance continues.

Illinois State Police said in a statement Thursday that there are “no new developments” in the investigation into what happened to Robin Abrams Abrams.

The former Will County Sheriff’s deputy was last seen in 1990.

“As this investigation is ongoing, no further information will be released at this time,” the statement said.

The search, which began a week ago in the house at 100 S. Margaret St., brought the Abrams case into the public eye once again.

Police announced Feb. 23 that they were “unearthing a portion of a residential concrete basement slab” in the house because of “new leads” in the case.

The FBI and Will County State’s Attorney’s Office also were involved in the search on Margaret Street. State police said in both statements that the residents of the house had no connection to the investigation.

Federal and state investigators use buckets to remove pieces of concrete from the basement of a Joliet home along Margaret Street while investigating the disappearance of Robin Abrams, who went missing in 1990. State police announced Thursday the investigation of the house revealed no new developments.

However, authorities have not commented beyond the two short statements.

The disappearance of Abrams is a complex case that at least for now goes on without answers.

Abrams was 28 when she disappeared Oct. 4, 1990.

She was to give a deposition later that month in a federal lawsuit filed against eight sheriff’s office employees, alleging sexual harassment and wrongful termination.

Abrams, who was the daughter of an Orland Park police officer, worked with the sheriff’s office for only about a year before her termination in late 1988.

One of the defendants in her lawsuit was Tony Marquez, an auxiliary officer who had a tumultuous relationship with Abrams.

Reached at his Elwood home Thursday, Marquez declined to discuss the case.

“No. I’ll talk with you later,” he said politely when asked for an interview,

before hanging up.

Marquez has never been charged in connection with the case.

He has consistently declined to comment about Abrams’ disappearance when contacted by reporters over the years.

According to Herald-News reports of the case, Abrams accused Marquez of hitting her in the face two months before she was fired.

In August 1989, Marquez accused Abrams of trying to run him off the road. She was arrested, but a jury found her not guilty. Abrams and her mother then filed an order of protection against Marquez. She later filed the federal lawsuit.

About a month after Abrams’ disappearance, Marquez himself was terminated from the sheriff’s office.

The last person known to see Abrams was her father, who saw her driving from the family’s Beecher home that night.

The next day, Harvey police called the family after finding Abrams’ abandoned car. Her purse was discovered a few blocks from the car.

The recent search at 100 S. Margaret St. lasted more than a week. Police dug through the concrete in the basement of the house.

When the work began, police said the dig was the result of “new leads” in the case.

Man pleads guilty in 2011 Joliet murder

By BRIAN STANLEY

bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A Joliet man was sentenced Thursday to 20 years in prison after pleading guilty in a 2011 murder.

Jordan A. Arthur, 28, would have faced 45 years to life in prison if he’d been found guilty during a trial that was scheduled for next week for the slaying of CourtJordan A. ney L. Jordan.

About 1:35 a.m. June Arthur 1, 2011, Jordan, 34, called 911, saying he was being threatened on North Broadway Street by a man in black clothing

who was “pointing an object at him,” Will County Assistant State’s Attorney Chris Koch said. Investigators said that Arthur could be heard yelling in the background during the call.

While some officers arrived to find Jordan fatally shot in a parking lot, another saw Arthur walking on Center Street wearing a white shirt. Koch said police later found a black shirt tossed behind a fence on Center Street that had Arthur’s DNA and gunshot residue on it.

Investigators said Jordan and Arthur had been in a love triangle with Lynntoya Orsborn, who, like Arthur, lived in the apartments near where Jordan was slain.

“A few days before there had been

an argument between the men over Orsborn ... and the victim had been repeatedly calling the defendant,” Koch said.

Joliet police also were called to Orsborn’s residence the night before the slaying because Jordan was pounding on her door, Koch said.

Orsborn addressed the court Thursday, reading a note from her daughter, who also is named Courtney Jordan.

“Every day when I go to sleep or wake up, I think about my daddy ... and wish he’d be proud of me. I never got to spend a lot of time with him because of mistakes he made when he was young, [but] I miss him,” the 12-year-old girl wrote to Judge Sarah

Jones.

Jordan, who had two daughters, was on parole from a 10-year sentence for delivery of drugs at the time of his death.

“No parent should have to bury a child,” said Jordan’s father, Danny Jones. “I’m glad this [legal] phase of it is coming to an end. The rest of it will never end.”

Arthur answered Jones’ questions with a soft-spoken, “Yes, ma’am,” but did not address the court.

“He’s only pleading guilty so he can have a life when he gets out,” Arthur’s cousin, Elyse Pasternak, said outside the courtroom. “He didn’t do this. [Courtney] Jordan had so many enemies.”

Lockport moves on sidewalks, bike paths “I just don’t know if with all of the priorities we have, this is where I would spend $450,000.”

By SARWAT AHMAD

Shaw Media correspondent LOCKPORT – The Lockport City Council is reluctantly taking steps to move forward with a seven-year-old project to connect portions of Farrell Road and Division and Briggs streets with new sidewalks and bike paths for better pedestrian access and safety.

The City Council, with a split 7-1 vote, Wednesday night approved a resolution to allot $490,000 in motor fuel tax funds for the project, according to a video of the meeting on the city’s website.

The council also approved an intergovernmental agreement with Will County since parts of the project fall under the county’s right of way.

Alderman Jason VanderMeer, who is the council’s finance liaison, voted against both measures, according to the video.

The project, first proposed in 2010 when the city received a $456,000 grant from the Illinois Transportation Enhancement Program, has grown more expensive in seven years.

The grant, a portion of which already has been used for preliminary engineering, was to cover about 80 percent of an estimated $570,000 total cost, according

Jason VanderMeer Lockport alderman

to comments from Director of Engineering Amy Wagner on the video. According to the resolution, the estimated costs have increased to about $850,000. However, that amount might be an inflated number, she said.

The project likely will cost about $700,000, City Administrator Ben Benson said in a phone interview.

The escalated costs had Aldermen VanderMeer, Darren Deskin, Kris Capadona and Jim Petrakos discussing whether the project was worth doing anymore.

“I just don’t know if with all of the priorities we have, this is where I would spend $450,000,” VanderMeer said during a lengthy discussion in the Committee of the Whole portion of Wednesday night’s meetings.

Alderman Bob Perretta urged moving forward because he felt that rejecting the project, after the state has held the grant for the city for seven years,

might cause the city to “lose credibility” and make it difficult to receive state grants in the future.

Mayor Steven Streit, in a phone interview, said that he wants to move forward with the project “instead of forgoing the grant” and that it “is good for safety and a pedestrian-friendly city.”

The proposal includes adding a bike path along the west side of Farrell Road, in front of the Lockport Township High School east campus that currently does not have a sidewalk. New sidewalks also will be added to portions of the south side of Division Street from Farrell Road to Briggs Street to create a continuous pedestrian walkway from that part of the city to downtown.

The project still will need approval from the City Council once it goes out to bid. If approved, construction would start in the summer, Benson said.

Cakes XO to take over Metra coffee shop

The Cakes XO bakery located on Archer Avenue has made a request to the city to take over the commuter coffee shop in the city’s Metra station, where it plans to sell items baked on site.

The resolution for a new one-year lease at $100 a month for the bakery was presented for consideration to the City Council’s Committee of the Whole Wednesday night. It includes authorization for Cakes XO to add an oven and sink and make other improvements necessary for it to be able to provide fresh baked goods.

Cakes XO will serve muffins, scones, cookies and premium coffee to start with, but also will look to commuters for guidance, owner Joanne Saccomanno said in a phone interview.

“We will go in and ask commuters what they need,” she said. “If they want sandwiches, we’ll make sandwiches.”

The resolution is set to be approved as part of the City Council’s consent agenda at its meeting March 15.

CHICAGO – A pregnant Joliet teen is missing and may be in Chicago, according to a news release from the Chicago Police Department.

Dymon Simons was last seen Feb. 25 in the area of 7800 South Vernon Avenue in Chicago, the news release stated.

Dymon Simons Simons is 16 years old. She has brown hair and brown eyes, is 5 feet 4 inches tall and weighs 115 pounds.

She attends school in Joliet, but, according to police, she may be with family in the Humboldt Park neighborhood of Chicago or in Maywood.

Anyone with information is asked to call 911 or the Chicago Police Area South Special Victims Unit at 312-7478274.

to sponsor a bill that will clarify the civil rights of someone possessing drugs that is interested in treatment and protect police programs from lawsuits.

A speaker identified in the program as “Isabelle” is going through the drug court program for the second time.

“I took the program seriously [the first time], but I didn’t take my recovery so seriously,” the young woman said. “I moved back with my family and got a job, but I didn’t go to meetings or keep in contact with [recovery resources].”

Isabelle started using heroin again three years ago and was unable to quit even when she became pregnant. Despite several arrests and stints in jail, she couldn’t break out of her downward spiral.

“It’s not that I didn’t love my child.

The way heroin affects your mind – there is no decision making,” she said.

Isabelle said recovering from heroin addiction is a slow and ongoing process, but the resources Will County has are saving lives.

WILMINGTON – About 100 people attended a community forum Thursday night at Wilmington Middle School to address heroin.

Although the audience consisted of mostly adults, education was what many community leaders feel is the key to ending the drug’s destructive grip.

“Our children are intelligent, and it’s up to us to give them the information they need to make good choices,” Will County Executive Larry Walsh said.

“Heroin has become the drug of choice. It’s an equal-opportunity killer ... and it is your worst nightmare as a parent,” Judge Ray Nash said. Nash said southwestern Will County has the highest heroin deaths per capita in the county.

Among the initiatives discussed was a program developed by the Robert Crown Center that is expanding to other schools in Will County. Nash said

last year’s 77 heroin deaths shattered the prior record, but only four of those deaths were people younger than 21.

“It’s nothing to brag about, but it is a positive,” Nash noted. “If we can get to the kids early and raise their awareness, there’s a better chance.”

Will County State’s Attorney James Glasgow said law enforcement’s goals are to “put the hammer down” on dealers but get help for addicts although there is still debate on the best methods to provide that help.

“Some police departments want you to bring in your drugs and they’ll get you help ... into treatment. It’s well-intentioned, but that’s a dangerous situation for everyone involved,” Glasgow said.

The state’s attorney has concerns with police instead of prosecutors determining whether someone should be charged, disposal of drugs that are turned in and the liability of volunteers who transport addicts to rehab.

Glasgow has asked state legislators

ELWOOD – A driver was killed after sliding into a truck Thursday morning on the Arsenal Road bridge.

At 5:25 a.m., Elwood police received a call about a crash involving a truck and a car at the bridge.

The driver of the car, a 32-year-old Park Forest man, was killed in the crash, and a passenger in the car, a 39-year-old Richton Park man, was seriously injured and sent to Presence Saint Joseph Medical Center in Joliet.

The release of the name of the driver was pending notification of his family Thursday evening, according to the Will County Coroner’s Office.

The driver of the truck, a 59-year-old Aurora man, suffered minor injuries and was also sent to Presence Saint Joseph Medical Center, where he was

treated and released.

Based on preliminary investigations, Elwood Police Chief Fred Hayes said it appears the car was traveling westbound at the crest of the Arsenal Road bridge, but icy conditions caused it to slide into the pathway of the truck traveling eastbound.

The driver was killed instantly and was pinned in the wreckage. Hayes said it took several hours to extricate him.

The roadway was shut down while emergency personnel worked at the crash scene, he said. It was cleared and opened by 9:45 a.m.

The Illinois State Police accident reconstruction team was called in to assist with the investigation, Hayes said. He said early indications of the investigation show weather is one of the main factors of the crash as the bridge was icy.

online education program.

Instead of being fined $500, violators would be ordered to complete the course. The violator would pay a $25 fee for the course and another fee to cover the city’s administrative costs, which the organization has estimated would be $200 in Joliet.

The program includes volunteer spotters, who would report violators.

Although the program is not in place here, Marsh said spotters already in the Joliet area have reported 3,219 violations in the past 12 months.

Accessible Parking and Mobility Solutions has offered its program to Joliet, but the city has not taken it.

Marsh said the program has reduced violations by 80 percent in communities that use it. But not many do.

Marsh said Accessible Parking and Mobility Solution is used in 20 communities.

He acknowledges there is resistance.

“Quite frankly,” he said, “local governments don’t understand this problem. They think that law enforcement will take care of this issue. The problem is law enforcement, even if they have the commitment, don’t have the resources. They don’t have the time to patrol the parking lots.”

Caterpillar offices raided in probe Investigation might be related to Swiss unit

By DON BABWIN

The Associated Press CHICAGO – Federal law enforcement officials raided three central Illinois facilities of manufacturer Caterpillar on Thursday as part of an investigation the company said might be related to business with its Swiss subsidiary, CSARL. Officials from three federal agencies, some wearing jackets that said “police, federal agent,” searched the Peoria headquarters of Caterpillar, one of the world’s largest makers of construction and other heavy equipment. Facilities in East Peoria and Morton also were raided under a federal warrant, U.S. Attorney’s Office spokeswoman Sharon Paul said.

“We believe the execution of this search warrant is regarding, among other things, export filings that relate to the CSARL matter,” Caterpillar said in a statement later Thursday, referring to its Swiss subsidiary.

Caterpillar spokeswoman Corrie Heck Scott said in an email that the company was cooperating with law enforcement.

Paul said the agencies involved included the Internal Revenue Service’s criminal investigation unit, the U.S. Department of Commerce Office of Export Enforcement and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.’s office of inspector general. She declined to comment further on the details of the investigation.

The exact reason for the raid was

unclear, but Caterpillar told the Securities and Exchange Commission in a filing last month that the IRS had notified the company it owed $2 billion more in taxes for the years 2010 to 2012 because of profits from its Swiss unit.

Caterpillar said it would “vigorously contest” the tax bill.

“We believe that the relevant transactions complied with applicable tax laws and did not violate judicial doctrines,” Caterpillar said.

Two years ago the SEC notified Caterpillar that it was conducting an “informal investigation” relating to CSARL and asked the company to preserve relevant documents.

SEC spokesmen in Washington declined to comment Thursday.

A 2014 report by U.S. Senate Democratic staff said that Caterpillar had avoided paying $2.4 billion in U.S. taxes since 2000 by shifting profits to the affiliate in Switzerland.

The report said Caterpillar paid PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP $55 million to develop the tax strategy. Under the strategy, Caterpillar transferred the rights to profits from its parts business to a wholly controlled Swiss affiliate called CSARL, although no employees or business activities were moved to Switzerland, the report said.

In exchange, CSARL paid a small royalty, and the income was taxed at a special rate of 4 percent to 6 percent that Caterpillar negotiated with the Swiss government, the report said.

Before the arrangement, 85 percent of the profits from the parts business were taxed in the U.S., the report said.

Afterward, only 15 percent of the profits were taxed in the U.S. The rest was taxed at the special rate in Switzerland, the report said.

Sessions steps aside from Russia probe

By ERIC TUCKER

The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Under intensifying pressure, Attorney General Jeff Sessions abruptly agreed Thursday to recuse himself from any investigation into Russian meddling in America’s 2016 presidential election. He acted after revelations he twice spoke with the Russian ambassador during the campaign and failed to say so when pressed by Congress.

Sessions rejected any suggestion that he had tried to mislead anyone about his contacts with the Russian, saying, “That is not my intent. That is not correct.”

But he did allow that he should have been more careful in his testimony during his confirmation hearing, saying, “I should have slowed down and said, ‘But I did meet one Russian official a couple of times.’ ” The White House has stood

by Sessions in the latest controversy to dog President Donald Trump’s young administration, although officials said they first learned about his contacts with the ambassador from a reporter Wednesday night. Trump himself said Thursday he had “total” confidence in Sessions and didn’t think he needed to recuse himself – not long before he did.

Trump later laid the controversy at the feet of Democrats, saying they are trying to save face. “The Democrats are overplaying their hand,” he said in a statement Thursday night. “They lost the election, and now they have lost their grip on reality. The real story is all of the illegal leaks of classified and other information.

It is a total witch hunt!”

One of Sessions’ conversations with Ambassador Sergey Kislyak occurred at a July event on the sidelines of the Republican National Convention in Cleveland. At that same event, the ambassador also spoke with Carter Page,

Attorney General Jeff Sessions speaks during a news conference Thursday at the Justice Department in Washington, D.C. Sessions said he will recuse himself from a federal investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 White House election. who briefly advised Trump’s campaign on foreign policy, according to a person with knowledge of the discussion.

Separately, a White House official said Thursday that Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, and ousted national security adviser Michael Flynn met with Kislyak at Trump Tower in New York in December. The official described that sit-down as a brief courtesy meeting.

Flynn was fired last month for misleading Vice President Mike Pence about his contacts with Kislyak.

The Trump team’s account of Flynn’s contacts with the ambassador has changed several times. The White House did not disclose the in-person meeting, or Kushner’s involvement, until Thursday.

Both the White House official and the person with knowledge of Page’s discussion insisted on anonymity because they were not authorized to publicly disclose the meetings.

Trump has been trailed for months by questions about potential ties to Russia, and allegations of Russian efforts to interfere in the U.S. election to help him defeat Hillary Clinton. The new president and his campaign officials have

blamed such contentions on Democratic sore losers and have heatedly denied any contact with Russians concerning the election.

While there is nothing necessarily nefarious or even unusual about a member of Congress meeting with a foreign ambassador, typically members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee meet with foreign ambassadors, not Armed Services Committee lawmakers, such as Sessions, whose responsibility is oversight of the military and the Pentagon.

The latest development comes on the heels of what had been the high point of Trump’s young presidency: a well-received address to Congress Tuesday night that energized Republicans and appeared to wipe away some lawmakers’ concerns about the administration’s tumultuous start.

But Sessions faced a rising chorus of demands that he resolve the seeming contradiction between his two conversations in the summer and fall with Kislyak and his sworn statements to Congress in January, when he said he had not had communications with Russians during the campaign.

Letters are limited to 300 words; must be free of libelous content and personal attacks; and are subject to editing for length and clarity at the discretion of the editor. Send to news@TheHerald-News.com or The Herald-News, Letters to the editor, 2175 Oneida St., Joliet, IL 60405.

Over the past few months, these columns have raised plenty of questions about Medicare, present and future, and I’ve received many responses to those questions from readers. Today’s column addresses some of readers’ concerns about Medicare, a complicated program.

Q: Why do you refer to Social Security as social insurance? This continues to baffle me just as those who continually refer to SS as a handout.

It’s not a handout. That money has been taken out of every one of my paychecks since I was 16. This is my money. TF A: Social insurance is group insurance. Workers pay premiums in exchange for insurance against the loss of wages as the result of disability death, or old age. Because the government manages the insurance, and it is nearly universal, it has historically been labeled social insurance. The writer is correct. Working and paying those insurance contributions entitles him to benefits. The benefits are not a government handout. Social Security is not a welfare program.

Q: I turn 65 this August and need to learn the basics to make informed choices. Is there a website or source you recommend that would give me the basics of Medicare? PH A: You can start with your local SHIP program, the government funded State Health Insurance Assistance Program https://www.shiptacen-

GUEST VIEW Trudy Lieberman ter.org/ which provides one-on-on counseling and answers questions.

Medicare Interactive https://www. medicareinteractive.org, a website sponsored by the Medicare Rights Center, also is helpful as is Medicare’s official website, Medicare.gov.

Q: Both Social Security and Medicare are run under FICA, the Federal Insurance Contributions Act, and are not part of the national debt. The government needs to raise premiums for people earning higher incomes. MR A: Social Security and Medicare’s hospital benefits are funded primarily through mandatory premiums known as insurance contributions. Neither Social Security nor Medicare hospital insurance adds a penny to the nation’s deficit and debt. One solution for potential Social Security shortfalls is to eliminate the cap on earnings on which Social Security contributions are assessed. For this year the cap is $127,200. Congress eliminated the cap for Medicare contributions in the early 1990s.

Q: The government has to stop using Medicare funds to pay hospital bills for illegal aliens. They are not covered under Medicare, and the millions and billions of dollars should not

be taken from Medicare funds. BC A: Medicare does not pay for healthcare for undocumented people. Community clinics may offer services.

Hospitals may treat them under their charity and uncompensated care programs, but usually try to collect those debts.

Q: Do you have any advice for individuals who will be switching over from Covered California (the state’s Obamacare marketplace) to Medicare in the next few months because of a disability? Are there any concerns someone would have before making the changeover? LP A: Anyone age 65 and older and first signing up for Part B (which pays for doctors’ services and outpatient care) and in some states people with disabilities first signing up for Part B might be able to get a Medigap within the first six months of eligibility for Medicare. After that, it depends on your state’s rules. Check with your local SHIP program to learn what they are.

Q: I am very happy there’s going to be Medicaid reform. I am a dental hygienist who worked in a practice that has seen has many Medicaid patients.

Many of these people were illegal.

Some couldn’t even speak English. I am on the door of seniorhood but love the idea of Medicaid reform. We can save millions, probably billions, by putting people to work who can work.

CW A: The column you refer to dis-

cussed Medicare, not Medicaid. The programs are not the same. Medicaid was not designed as a seniors’ program, but 20 percent of Medicaid expenditures are for long-term care.

The lack of such care for families has meant that Medicaid, a welfare program, has become a long-term care program by default for many middle-income seniors. Congress is considering cuts to both programs that could result in seniors paying a lot more out of pocket.

Q: My husband and I are hoping this administration doesn’t ruin this program by making it private. It has worked very well for a long time and should be left alone. If this program is made too expensive for seniors, the doctors will be seeing far fewer patients. BC A: It is well known that seniors are risk-averse, meaning they are afraid of big medical bills they can’t afford.

That explains the popularity of Medigap policies, especially the ones that cover the portion of a doctor’s bill that Medicare doesn’t pay, in effect giving seniors nearly full coverage.

Many in Congress want to change that. Beginning in 2020, insurers will be prohibited from selling those kinds of Medigap policies to people new to the program. (Those who already have such a policy can keep it.) The idea is to make seniors have more skin in the game by paying more for their care as a way to save money for the government.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Avoiding meetings is no good To the editor:

The week of Feb. 20, members of Congress were on recess with the purpose of meeting with constituents of the Congressional district they were elected to represent. While Representative Kinzinger was in the area, he held no public meeting with any of the constituents in the IL-16th.

It is known he did make an appearance at two Republican Party fundraisers. One was held in Galena Feb. 18 and another on Feb. 23. He also was invited to multiple town halls that were organized by various civic groups in the IL-16th.

He did not make an appearance at any town halls. Representative Kinzinger has publicly announced that he avoids the town hall meetings because he does not believe it is constructive to subject himself to what he has characterized as “people coming off of social media to disrupt the meeting.” He also has stated that he is

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

“in his district all of the time meeting with his constituents.” Other than those two Republican party fundraisers, we cannot find any evidence of meetings with constituents.

Representative Kinzinger has not held a town hall meeting since the primaries in 2012, almost five years. In that time, there has been a great deal of legislation proposed and voted on.

Failing to meet with his constituents, how has Rep. Kinzinger been able to gain a consensus on what is important to the people of the IL-16th?

The people of the IL-16th deserve to have representation in Congress, not representation of the special interests. This is best achieved by holding informative and responsive town hall meetings with constituents. If Rep. Kinzinger continues to choose not to hold town hall meetings, then it is our obligation to find someone who will represent us properly in Congress.

Joliet West, the No. 2 seed, will face No. 7 Romeoville at Plainfield Central, and No. 3 Joliet Central will play host to No. 6 Lincoln-Way East.

All games tip at 7 p.m.

Our area also has two contenders remaining in Class 3A as Joliet Catholic, the No. 4 seed in Sub-Sectional A of the Plano Sectional, will take on No. 1 Hillcrest at JCA while Morris, No. 5 in Sub-Sectional B, plays No. 10 Pontiac at Coal City.

If Joliet West (24-3), Joliet Central (22-5) and Bolingbrook (25-1) all reach the sectional, the Raiders will be in Tuesday’s semifinal against West Aurora or Neuqua Valley, who meet for the Plainfield North Regional title. Neuqua knocked off the sectional’s No. 4 seed, Minooka, in the semifinals.

Meanwhile, Joliet West and Joliet Central may be on a collision course for a rematch in Wednesday’s semifinal. They met Feb. 18 at Central, with the Tigers escaping, 51-49.

However, if you have been paying attention, you have noticed how well

Romeoville’s DeAndre Heckard drives against Joliet West’s Elijah Ward (left), Trevian Bell and Eddie Creal on Jan. 27 during the Tigers’ 69-66 victory.

Romeoville (16-11) and Lincoln-Way East (20-10) have been playing.

The Spartans, who dropped an exciting 69-66 decision to West in late January, went on a 22-0 run in the second half to erase a nine-point deficit and went on to beat Oswego East, 70-54, in the regional semifinals. They are capable of that sort of explosion.

Romeoville trailed at halftime in the previous meeting with West, 46-30. However, the Spartans got back into it largely because of Kahlil Blakney’s 3-point shooting

and the defense 6-foot-7 Dontia Johnson played in the second half, when Spartans coach Marc Howard switched his big man to West guard Teyvion Kirk.

The strategy this time will be interesting. The teams know each other well; they know each other’s tendencies.

Romeoville hit 9 of 18 from 3-point range in the last meeting.

That sort of production from beyond the arc probably will be needed again if the Spartans are to be in position to pull off the upset.

The Tigers know that as well, but they can’t forget about the two Johnsons – Dontia and Robert – and the damage they can do down low.

Meanwhile, Romeoville has been a better defensive team in the second half of the season. But will the Spartans be able to slow down a West attack that not only boasts Kirk and Trevian Bell, but also Eddie Creal and Tabyous Casterberry?

Creal scored 17 points and Casterberry 14 in the last meeting.

Singler, Albright cherish Cocoa Beach experience The HERALD-NEWS

Local eighth-grade students Brant Singler and Ethan Albright, who starred last summer for Illinois Edge 13U travel baseball team, played for the championship 14U All-American team that represented the U.S. in the Cocoa Beach Expo Winter World Series Showcase, a USSSA-affiliated event sponsored by JP Sports, at Cocoa Beach, Florida.

Mike Singler, a Joliet firefighter/paramedic, coached the boys with Illinois Edge 13U and was the coach of the 14U All-American team. His son attends St. Mary Immaculate School and recently announced he will continue his baseball career at Providence, the three-time defending Class 4A state champion. Albright is a student at

Drauden Point and will play at Plainfield South.

“What an experience to be able to play with some of the best players in the country,” Brant Singler said. “JP Sports did a great job putting together a great group of kids. I had so much fun, and the experience was something I will never forget. I know now more than ever what it takes to compete at the highest level.

“I have so much more work to do and look forward to the challenges ahead in high school.”

“Playing in Florida with the JP Sports All-American team was an awesome experience,” Albright said. “It was very eye-opening to see the level of talent from around the U.S. and abroad. We did a good job competing, but I have returned with new goals and a desire to improve.

“I give a big thanks to coach Mike Singler and Brant Singler for making my trip memorable and exciting.”

Mike Singler was thrilled with the experience as well.

“I was honored to be asked to coach such a great group of talented boys,” he said. “The complex was beautiful, and the competition was extremely tough. When we made it to the championship game, a cold front had come through Florida. I told the boys that the other team is not used to playing in 40 to 50 degree weather. Use it to our advantage, and they did.

“I was proud to be a part of a World Series winning team.

These are memories I will cherish forever that I had with my son and Ethan. I am excited to see what is next for these two boys, because the future looks so bright for both of them.”

Continued from page 17 And one more thing. The X-factor for the Tigers is lanky senior Elijah Ward. At any given moment, he can do things athletically that can change the course of a game.

I look for Romeoville to make this one tight, but I can’t go against West.

I’ll take the Tigers, 67-62.

At Joliet Central, the Steelmen might feel they got a bit of a bad draw for the regional final as the No. 3 seed, with the way Lincoln-Way East has played. The highlight for the Griffins, of course, was knocking off then-unbeaten and No. 1-ranked Bolingbrook late in the regular season.

East has some size across the board, while Central has been known all season as the team that succeeds despite lacking size. It could be difficult for the Steelmen to score from inside – unless in transition. On the other hand, it could be difficult for the Griffins to get into their normal offensive flow against the Steelmen’s quickness and athleticism.

In addition, the coaches know each other well. Central’s Lawrence Thompson Jr. was at Lockport for most of the many years Rich Kolimas has been the coach at East. So there will not be any huge strategic surprises.

Thanks to the roll the Griffins are on, this one is a tough call. I have believed in the Steelmen all season and will stay with them in a thriller, 53-50.

Elsewhere, I will go with Boling-

If JCA were to beat Hillcrest, that would have to be considered an upset.

The Hilltoppers must play better than

they did in Wednesday’s 40-37 win over Oak Forest, and they must find a way to counter the Hawks’ athleticism.

The feeling here is JCA will compete and make it interesting, but Hillcrest will be too much of a mountain to

climb. Make it 52-47 Hillcrest.

Finally, Morris is in position to grab a regional crown with a 60-51 win over Pontiac.

WRESTLING

By CURT HERRON

cherron@shawmedia.com The 2016-17 wrestling season will certainly go down as one of the more memorable ones that ever has been seen in the Joliet area.

Five area individuals won state titles, while four others lost in championship matches.

Three teams claimed trophies at dual team state with one taking first place, another falling just short in the finals and a third capturing its initial trophy with a third-place showing.

Here’s a look at some of the top area wrestling stories from this past season.

The Porters enjoyed the greatest season in school history by not only winning their first title in the sport, but also having a record number of state qualifiers and placewinners.

Coach Josh Oster’s squad capped a 29-0 season by winning the Class 3A championship in Bloomington after defeating Montini, 33-20, in the title meet. It was the program’s thirdstraight state trophy, following a fourth-place in 2015 and a third-place last season.

The nation’s 23rd-ranked team became just the second in Illinois since 2000 to win all of the dual meets they were in by at least 10 points, and were Lockport’s second undefeated champion in any sport, joining the 33-0 boys basketball team from 1977-78.

Lockport also set new standards for qualifiers (12) and medal winners (seven) in Champaign, easily shattering the old marks in each category. This was the fifth time in nine years that the Porters advanced at least two individuals to the finals.

State champion Trevell Timmons (160 pounds) and runner-up Abdullah Assaf (132) each won a third medal while fourth-place finishers Baylor Fernandes (145), Payton Fernandes (182) and Anthony Molton (113) and fifth-place medalists Matt Ramos (106) and Ronald Tucker (285) earned allstate honors for the first time.

Wilmington takes second, Lincoln-Way West places third

For most of the season, Coal City was viewed as one of the favorites in Class 1A and was top-ranked as the year wound down. But Wilmington edged the Coalers in the regional and was able to earn its first trip to dual team state since 2012.

Coach Rob Murphy’s Wildcats not only assured themselves of their first

Eric Ginnard – eginnard@shawmedia.com

trophy since 2010 but nearly claimed their fourth title before falling 40-36 to Lena-Winslow/Stockton in the finals.

Lincoln-Way West had been one of the top 2A programs during the last few years but kept running into state finalists. The Warriors only reached the dual team finals once and didn’t win a trophy.

Making the move up to Class 3A this season, things finally came together for coach Brian Glynn’s Warriors. They beat Wheeling in the quarterfinals to assure themselves of their first trophy and then bounced back from a loss to Lockport to defeat Deerfield for third place.

McGee definitely left his mark

It really says something when an individual has accomplished as much in just three years as everyone else in a school district has in half a century.

But it’s also clear to those who’ve seen Michael McGee perform during his memorable career at Plainfield East that he certainly was a special athlete.

The Old Dominion University-bound senior, who’s ranked No. 4 nationally, capped his Bengals career as a two-time champion and three-time finalist after capturing top honors at 120 pounds in Class 3A. He finished with a 43-0 record and posted a 116-5 mark in the last three years, going 39-2, and winning a title as a sophomore and finishing 34-3 and taking second place last season.

Only two other wrestlers from

District 202 have won state titles, Plainfield’s Chris Traversa (1996) and Central’s Ryan Prater (2007). He’s the district’s first three-time finalist and joins two others as the Plainfield school’s only three-time medal winners.

O’Connor in a league of his own

St. Rita’s Austin O’Connor, who lives in Lockport, certainly will go down as one of the best ever from this state. Beside becoming the IHSA’s 16th four-time champ, he was just the fifth to capture four-straight large-school titles and the fifth to win every tournament match he was in. He went 46-0 this year and 181-4 in his career, ending with nearly 130 straight wins.

The Class 3A champion at 152 pounds, who’s ranked No. 3 nationally, became the first Illinois athlete to win five IKWF titles and then four IHSA titles. But as the University of North Carolina-bound athlete pointed out after his historic championship, he also had a few other state titles to his credit.

Including the midget and bantam divisions, O’Connor captured 14 state titles from the time that he started competing as a 4-year-old. From the age of 7 on, he won a title each year and he captured two state championships when he was 8.

Another athlete from the area who attended a Chicago Catholic League school also concluded his high school career with a Class 3A title. Mount Carmel’s David Riojas, who lives in

Plainfield, completed a 37-6 season by winning at 170 pounds to capture his initial title.

Celtics back in title matches

After possessing a spot in a corner chair on a title mat at the IHSA individual finals in 16 of his first 20 years as coach, Providence Catholic wrestling coach Keith Healy didn’t have to dress up very much during the next four years.

An amazing run of 24 finalists in 14 years was capped in 2012 when Eddie Klimara won his second title in four finals trips. A year earlier, Edwin Cooper pulled off the same feat, while Mike Togher also won a title, and Klimara took second to give the Celtics three finalists.

After his program experienced a low point in 2014 and 2015, after only having a total of one state qualifier, prospects were boosted a year ago when both Jacob Lindsey and Cole Smith claimed fifth-place finishes in Class 3A in their initial trips to state, and the team claimed a fourth-place showing at dual team state.

This year, Healy got back to a spot where he has been now 30 times since 1993, with both Lindsey and Smith competing for titles. After Smith fell to St. Rita’s four-time champion O’Connor in the opening finals match at 152, Lindsey became Providence’s first champion in five years when he claimed top honors at 106.

22 YOUTH HOCKEY

Boy looks up to older brother in hockey, life SUBMITTED REPORTS

JOLIET – Theirs is a common story.

It is a story of a little brother who admires his big brother so much that he wants to do everything his big brother does.

It is a story of a big brother who takes the time to help his little brother, to show him the right way to do things, and to grudgingly put up with the annoyances of being shadowed in everything he does.

It also is the story of two Jaguar Hockey Club teams whose members shared a common goal and attained it – with the other’s support.

“Basically, their relationship is one that Quinn looks up to Cole so much that he wants to do everything and anything that Cole does,” Quinn and Cole’s mother, Lauren Walsh of Gardner, said in a release from the Jaguars.

At 12:30 p.m. Saturday, Quinn and his teammates on Squirt Grabko will get to do something Cole and his teammates on Bantam Stornello did last Saturday – take to the ice at Inwood Ice Arena in Joliet to play for a Northern Illinois Hockey League Wolves Cup Championship.

“Having them both make it to their respective championship games is absolutely incredible,” Lauren said.

“Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought this was possible.”

Especially when she looks back to how their hockey careers with the Jaguars began.

“I signed them both up at the same time in February of 2010,” Lauren said of the now 14-year-old Cole and

10-year-old Quinn. “Cole had asked me on a whim if he could play hockey, so I looked into it.

“Not wanting to leave Quinn out, I signed them both up. Cole took to it no problem on that first day. Quinn, on the other hand … I will never forget Dave Heritage carrying him off the ice and explaining to me that Quinn just ‘wasn’t ready.’ ” They switched Quinn to ice skating lessons with the Joliet Park District, but that lasted for only one session because Quinn complained that he “wanted to skate like Cole.”

But Quinn, who attends Gardner Grade School, still had conditions.

“He would only wear a certain old helmet (from the Jaguar Hockey Club office) that had paw-print stickers all over it. He referred to it as the ‘puppy helmet,’ ” his mother recalled. “Cole always made sure he went rummaging through the box of equipment each day to find Quinn the puppy helmet.”

Where Cole was involved, Quinn also was never happy with his other equipment, either.

“Over the summer, Cole would be shooting continuously at the net in the garage,” Lauren said. “Quinn was constantly trying to steal the pucks and Cole’s stick so he could shoot, too.

Granted, Quinn had his own stick and pucks, but, of course, his big brother’s equipment was better in his eyes.”

And, apparently, his big brother’s jersey number was better than any other.

When it came time for Quinn to pick a jersey, “I asked him what number he wanted,” Lauren said. “He didn’t even

As members of the Jaguars Squirt Silver and Bantam Gold A teams, respectively, each of the Walsh siblings advanced to their first Northern Illinois Hockey League Wolves Cup Championships this year. The Squirts play at 12:30 p.m. Saturday at Inwood Ice Arena in Joliet. think twice and said, ‘Cole’s number.’

The Walsh 46s were born.”

Basically, Quinn just wants to emulate his brother in every way.

“When Cole is playing Xbox with his friends, Quinn wants to play, too,” Lauren points out. “But, of course, when Quinn plays, he doesn’t play

with his friends, he is playing with all of Cole’s teammates on the Xbox. I think Quinn forgets that he is 10 years old and thinks he is a 14-year-old Bantam like the rest of them.”

The group of Bantam players seems to accept that where Cole is, Quinn will be.

“The Bantam boys have always done a great job accepting Quinn and treating him like one of their own,” Lauren said. “Even when he annoys them, they still tolerate and humor him.”

Quinn’s teammates are Elijah Zelinski, Penn Russell, Andrew Rocha, Aodhan McGee, Caiden Poropat, Baron Novorolsky, Adrian Georgescu, Jacob Majewski, Brody Luzbetak, Alex Nahas, Tyler Wilson and Alex Dolezal.

“The fact that these kids have accomplished difficult goals [in order to reach the championship game] speaks volumes for the kids’ character and perseverance,” coach Rob Grabko said.

From the perspective of a hockey mom, Quinn’s team being in the NIHL championship game is a relief for Lauren.

“As a mom, you always worry how one child’s success will affect the other,” she said. “Will one be jealous because the other made it to the playoffs and he didn’t? Will one be upset because the other’s team won the tournament and his didn’t?

“Thankfully, I don’t have that worry right now. Both my boys made it to the big show. Last week was Cole’s week to shine and this week is Quinn’s. We couldn’t have worked it out any better.”

NFL COMBINE

Picking any of these QBs in the top 3 is big risk INDIANAPOLIS – You don’t have to be a rocket scientist, Ph.D. or NFL expert to know that quarterback is the most important position in the NFL. Yes, you need a lot more than just a QB to win big and win often, but it’s the one position you can’t do either without.

Quarterbacks are the highest paid players in the game, the most coveted and the hardest to find, and that’s why the primary focus every year at the NFL’s annual scouting combine starts there.

This year there are three players – DeShone Kizer, Deshaun Watson and Mitch Trubisky – whom almost everyone is focused on and a handful of

BEARS INSIDER Hub Arkush others, including Nathan Peterman and Patrick Mahomes, demanding significant attention.

There are two factors making the quarterback question even more allconsuming than usual. The first is that although any of the five young men I mentioned might prove to be future All Pros, none are as projectable as players such as Cam Newton, Andrew Luck, Jameis Winston, Marcus Mariota and even Carson Wentz have been in recent seasons.

All of this year’s top - three quarterbacks have warts that will make them difficult to digest with a top-10 pick in the first round.

Issue No. 2, however, is that each of the first three teams drafting – Cleveland, San Francisco and the Bears – share a single overwhelming need that dwarfs all their other concerns: quarterback.

It will be difficult for each of those clubs not to take one.

Which leads us to the biggest question: Will the Browns, 49ers or Bears significantly overreach and use a top-three pick on Kizer, Watson or Trubisky?

Browns coach Hue Jackson laid out the muster one will have to pass

for his club to take a gamble on him.

“It’s a lot of things you’re looking for, but I think, most importantly, obviously, guys have arm talent, and can a guy process football at the rate that you need him to be able to do it?”

Jackson said. “Is he a guy who can lead an organization?”

Of the big three, Kizer clearly has the best arm talent and is the only one of the three to “process football,” playing in a pro style offense in college, while Watson gets top marks for leadership.

Watson and Trubisky almost faced another handicap with Jackson before measuring just over 6-foot-2.

spots for one of the top QBs. This much is certain: Although each top NFL prospect is poked, prodded and grilled exhaustively by any team contemplating using a high pick on him, Kizer, Watson and Trubisky will be vetted strongly over the next two months.

Still, short of a trade down in the first round by Cleveland, San Francisco or the Bears, it is really hard to envision one of them taking the leap where they are currently picking.

Jackson said of the position, “There have been guys who have played in this league who are not 6-2, but the majority of the guys who have played are 6-2 or a little bit better and that’s just what I like in a quarterback.”

49ers rookie coach Kyle Shanahan has an approach to studying quarterbacks that could be a problem for Trubisky.

“Tape, by far, is the most important. You want to block out everything else,” Shanahan said.

“If you don’t like what you see on tape, nothing else matters.”

With only 13 starts at North

Carolina, there just isn’t a lot of tape of Trubisky to study.

Bears general manager Ryan Pace is clear on whether he’d take one of these quarterbacks if he were not one of the top three players on his board regardless of position.

“I think you have to get value,” Pace said. “I think when you talk about reaching at any position, it’s hard. And I’ve learned from that experience.”

There is more than just a big three to watch among NFL teams in this quarterback lottery.

The Jets drafting sixth and Buffalo at No. 10 also have real needs at the position and may prove to be more likely landing

SPORTS ROUNDUP

Bulls beat Warriors, 94-87, in 1st game without Durant

CHICAGO – Jimmy Butler scored 22 points and the Bulls beat Golden State, 94-87, on Thursday night in the Warriors’ first game since Kevin Durant injured his left leg. The NBA-leading Warriors’ league-record regular-season streak without consecutive losses ended at 146 games.

Stephen Curry scored 23 points, and Klay Thompson finished with 13. The star guards combined to hit just 3 of 22 3-pointers, and the Warriors made it back-to-back losses for the first time since April 2015.

Bobby Portis added 17 points and a season-high 13 rebounds for the Bulls.

The Bulls outscored Golden State, 10-2, over the final three minutes to wipe out a one-point deficit and come away with their fifth win in six games.

Butler made all 10 free throws and had five rebounds and six assists. And Portis had his best game of the season.

Minnesota 88, Nebraska 73: At Minneapolis, Nate Mason had 25 points in 28 minutes with his best shooting performance in Big Ten play, Jordan Murphy posted his sixth double-double in the past seven games and Minnesota breezed by Nebraska, 88-73, on Thursday night for its eighth straight victory.

Murphy finished with 20 points and 11 rebounds, and Reggie Lynch had 11 points, six blocks and six rebounds as the Gophers (11-6, 23-7) overpowered the Huskers (12-17, 6-11) around and underneath the basket.

Iowa 59, No. 22 Wisconsin 57: At Mad-

ison, Wisconsin, Jordan Bohannon hit the game-winning 3-pointer with nine seconds left, and Iowa (17-13, 9-8 Big Ten) capitalized on No. 22 Wisconsin’s sloppy final few minutes with a 7-0 run to beat the Badgers on Thursday night.

After Ethan Happ missed two free throws that could have sealed the win for Wisconsin (22-8, 11-6), Iowa’s Peter Jok missed a jumper in the lane.

But Cordell Pemsl corralled the offensive rebound and Bohannon hit the 3 from the left wing, stunning the crowd at the Kohl Center after Wisconsin led by nine with 4:15 left.

Reds 6, Cubs (ss) 2: At Goodyear, Arizona, Jose Peraza had a two-run triple and Reds starter Amir Garrett pitched three shutout, one-hit innings.

The Cubs got three of their four hits and both runs off Luis Castillo in the seventh. Cubs starter Rob Zastryzny gave up two earned runs on three hits over 22/3 innings and was lifted after taking a liner off his shin.

White Sox 6, Giants (ss) 6: At Scottsdale, Arizona, Tim Anderson went 2 for 3 with a two-run homer and minor leaguer Danny Hayes had a three-run double for the White Sox. Sox starter Derek Holland pitched two scoreless, surrendering two hits and two walks.

Giants starter Matt Moore was roughed up for four earned runs on five hits and two walks over 22/3 innings.

Nick Hundley had two hits. The Giants had six of the 10 errors in the game.

The 815 gives youth musical artists chance to perform live

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

JOLIET – They’re only 6, but twin brothers Charlie and Jake Long are comfortable in front of a microphone before a crowd.

Both boys have performed as part of The 815 – known until recently as Kidz Jam – a monthly, volunteer-run performance opportunity for musical artists ages 5 through 18.

Charlie had already participated in musical theater and played piano at Plainfield United Methodist Church, so when another church member, Sophia Hiatt of Plainfield, invited Charlie to The 815 last fall, Charlie was in.

“You get to perform in front of everyone,” Charlie said, “and it makes me happy when they clap.”

Jake, who has less performance experience, did play drums at The 815 last December.

His mother, Holli Long, added, “And mom and dad can sit and have a glass of wine and dinner, so it’s good for all of us.”

Monica Minogue of Lockport, who runs musical theater programs for children, founded Kidz Jam in September 2013 to increase performance opportunities for kids.

The goal, Minogue said, is to teach performance etiquette and support for other kids who also sing and play musical instruments, while challenging them to improve their skills.

This is not karaoke.

“It’s all live and that’s what makes it unique,” Minogue said.

Minogue said performers requiring accompaniment must register by the first of the month. That gives coordinators time to arrange youth musicians and chord charts. Those not requiring accompaniment must RSVP by the 15th of the month, but Minogue encourages early registration.

“Many times the spots are filled up and we end up with a waiting list,” she said.

Sometimes Minogue will add a

theme – such as 1950s music – but performers are free to sing or play what they wish. However, participants must remain until the end, when they will perform a group finale. Most performers hail from the Joliet area, but this, too, is not a requirement.

“We’ve got a regular performer who comes all the way from Oak Lawn once a month,” Minogue said.

Until last fall, when The 815 moved to the Tin Roof in Joliet, performances were held at William Alexander Wine & Music Studio in Lockport.

The time had come, Minogue said, to try a new venue.

Ordinarily, the Tin Roof is closed on Sundays, but it opens to the public on days The 815 performs – typically the last Sunday of the month, with some exceptions, Minogue said.

Participants seem happy with the new location and Tin Roof staff are very supportive, Minogue said.

“It’s a very family friendly atmosphere,” Minogue said. “The acous-

tics are great and the food is amazing.”

Hiatt, 15, joined The 815 a year ago because she wanted to perform songs she had written.

“I would like to do singing and performing as my career, so whenever I get the chance to do something like this, I like to get out,” Sophia said.

Sophia’s mother, Kim Hiatt, of Plainfield, said The 815 is a great open mic experience for kids.

“Her musical talents have grown,” Kim said. “She’s added guitar now.”

Laine Wilhelmi, 11, a vocalist, has participated for two years and likes to sing anything upbeat.

She likes the reciprocity of the event, that participants are both entertainers and members of the audience.

“I think it’s one of the most fun things to do,” Laine said.

Laine’s mother, Michelle Wilhelmi, of Joliet, said watching the other performers helps Laine set goals. It also boosts her self-esteem.

“They’re nervous at first,” Michelle said of newcomers, “but then they’re excited to get up and perform.”

Heather and Caleb King of the Christian rock band Daniel’s Window began helping Minogue coordinate The 815 about two years ago.

Heather said she learned about The 815 from one of her piano students who attended.

Like Minogue, Heather liked the additional performance opportunity for students and began overseeing the arranging of the music and chord sheets. Caleb emcees the event, Heather said.

Even though The 815 often has a waiting list, Heather said new performers are always welcome.

“Even if you’ve never sung before,” Heather said.

Furthermore, participating in The 815 spurs other opportunities.

Heather said members of The 815 will perform in April’s Easter Seals telethon and at Lockport’s Old Canal Days in June.

30 Does olive oil have healing properties?

Dear Doctor: Can olive oil be used topically to aid healing?

Dear Reader: Olive oil has been used since ancient times as a cosmetic and to aid skin healing. The ancient Egyptians used it as an anti-wrinkle potion; the Romans used it as a moisturizer after bathing. To this day, olive oil is used widely in many countries to treat and prevent multiple skin conditions.

Now let’s look at the evidence.

The purported benefit of olive oil may come from its fatty acid composition, predominantly oleic acid, but also palmitic acid and linoleic acid. These fatty acids have been thought to have both anti-fungal and anti-bacterial properties.

Oleic acid, a monounsaturated fat, has been shown to penetrate the upper layers of skin, where it permeates between the cells – seeming to suggest that it’s an effective moisturizer. Anecdotal evidence might seem to bear that out, but note that oleic acid has been found to actually increase water loss across the epidermis, countering the notion that it can help lock in the skin’s moisture.

In a 2013 study published in the journal Pediatric Dermatology, researchers studied volunteers who applied six drops of olive oil to their forearm twice daily for five weeks.

They found that the skin treated with olive oil not only lost water, it also experienced a reduction in skin thickness and integrity, and in some people caused a local reaction.

The authors surmised that olive oil’s disruption of the skin may allow for penetration of allergens and increased inflammation of the skin’s layers.

Some people use olive oil in an attempt to mitigate stretch marks induced by pregnancy. The evidence for that is sketchy as well.

In a 2012 study published in Complementary Therapies in Medicine, 50 women who were 18 to 20 weeks pregnant applied olive oil twice daily to their abdominal skin, mas-

SUDOKU

saging it in gently each time, keeping this practice up until they had delivered their baby. A control group of 50 women applied nothing to their abdominal skin. Although researchers did find some decrease in severe stretch marks among those who used olive oil topically, they found no overall significant difference in stretch marks between women who used olive oil and those who didn’t.

One place where olive oil may hold potential is in its treatment of diabetic foot ulcers. A 2015 study published in the Journal of Diabetes and Metabolic Disorders showed a significant improvement of healing and shrinking of ulcers with use of olive oil among people with grade 1 or grade 2 diabetic ulcers (the least serious of the grades, which progress to grade 5).

Complete ulcer healing occurred after 4 weeks in 73.3 percent of those who had olive oil placed over the ulcer versus 13.3 percent who didn’t. This healing may be related to olive oil’s potential to dry the lesion, which is linked to its propensity to remove water from the skin.

As for other skin conditions, some case reports have suggested that olive oil may reduce acne and symptoms of impetigo, but no controlled studies have been done.

So the evidence for olive oil on its own as a topical agent is not convincing. Further, it may even cause skin irritation, so I wouldn’t recommend it as a moisturizer, especially for infants. But because of olive oil’s ability to penetrate the skin, it could potentially be helpful in combination with another agent.

As for its potential in healing skin ulcerations in the lower legs and feet, further study is needed.

each other’s victories. With no more mortgage to pay, you and your husband will now be able to enjoy some of the things your friends have been enjoying all these years. While some couples would prefer to mark the occasion with a special dinner at a nice restaurant, if you’re inclined to do otherwise, then throw a party. You deserve it.

Dear Abby: I have been married to a wonderful man for 38 years. The issue is that sometimes I get insanely jealous. It isn’t an everyday occurrence, but I become insecure because I feel my husband is too attractive to other women. My husband is very outgoing and I am an introvert.

I find myself accusing him, and he tells me I need to stop it. He reassures me that I’m the only woman he loves and wants in his life. I don’t want to destroy our wonderful marriage. I consider myself attractive. I need to stop letting my lack of self-confidence get the best of me. Please help. – Insecure in Ohio Dear Insecure: The answer to your problem lies in finding out the cause of your deep-seated insecurity, because that’s what triggers your jealousy. Until you do, nothing will change. A licensed mental health professional can help you get to the root of it and provide the tools to deal with it. Your physician should be able to refer you to someone who is qualified.

Dear Abby: I’ve been with my husband for five years, but we’ve been married only for a year.

He told me a few months ago that his ex-girlfriend said he is the father of her child. We did a home DNA test and it showed he is not the father. In spite of that, my husband insists he still wants to take care of the child. I don’t know what to do. Please help. – Thrown in New York Dear Thrown: It appears that what your husband wants is to maintain a close tie to the child’s mother, because that is what will happen if he takes financial responsibility for her child.

Tell your husband you want to discuss this with the help of a professional mediator, preferably a marriage counselor. If he refuses, talk to an attorney because you may be needing one.

Mexico Dear Different Goals: True friends celebrate

49

T I T L E F I G H T

DEAR ABBY Our house will soon be paid off.

Jeanne My husband and Phillips I would like to have a party to celebrate, but we’re not sure if we should. None of our friends are anywhere close to paying off their mortgages. We made the choice to drive old cars while our friends all have beautiful new ones, and we were genuinely happy for them each time they proudly showed them off. I’m a stay-at-home mom, and I am our friends’ emergency contact for their kids at school. They have taken amazing vacations, and we have enjoyed their stories and photographs. We used the time and money trips would have cost to stay home and work on projects around the house.

We haven’t envied them; we just had different goals. Should we celebrate this – just the two of us, or with our friends? – Different Goals in New

FRIDAY HOROSCOPE

By EUGENIA LAST

Newspaper Enterprise Association TODAY – Call upon people who have helped you in the past or who owe you a favor. Collaborating will help you find simpler means of getting what you want. It’s not about quantity, it’s about quality. Aim to please your inner spirit in order to gain material support.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Stamina and drive will help you secure what you want. Trust in your gut feeling and follow your instincts in order to make the right choice.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Finish what you start and avoid taking on more than you can handle. Allot your time carefully and refuse to

let anyone slow you down by putting unrealistic demands on you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Get involved in meaningful events. Your input and solutions will be considered if you take the initiative to engage in the discussion with verve and discipline.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Money problems will increase if you make purchases you cannot afford. Live within your means if you want to avoid being put in your place. Behave and save.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Partnerships look promising. Contribute to something you believe in, but don’t let anyone take you for granted financially. Surround yourself with helpers, not users, if you want to build greater stability.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – A partnership will go

through uncertainty if you cannot come to a workable agreement. Take a moment to consider the probable loss should you not compromise. Show intelligence, not aggressiveness.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Traveling and learning should be high on your list. Sign up for a course or go on a retreat that will engage your mind and give you the wisdom to make a favorable choice.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Get along with your peers, but don’t go overboard and take on the brunt of the responsibilities. Make sure everyone knows what you expect in return before you do any favors.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Don’t feel obliged to travel if you don’t want to. Set the standard

and guide others to follow suit. If you don’t make requests, you cannot expect to bring about change.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Look at the big picture, but don’t feel the necessity to buy the acceptance of others. Make your position clear and don’t be afraid to make changes that will influence you and you alone.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Add to your comfort and well-being. Use your experience and strong intuition to choose the people you want in your life and the level of their involvement.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – You’ll receive an unexpected gift. A settlement or new contract that offers greater hope for future endeavors will head your way if you embrace change.

SATURDAY HOROSCOPE

By EUGENIA LAST

Newspaper Enterprise Association TODAY – Be aware of emotional deceit. Whether it’s you not wanting to face reality or someone else trying to lead you astray, you must question anything that doesn’t feel right. Don’t give in to emotional pressure or anyone trying to take control of your life.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Be true to yourself.

Don’t feel bad if you want to do something that doesn’t include others. You will get much more accomplished if you do your own thing.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Time spent making alterations to the way you live or how you present yourself to others will pay off. Romance will enhance your relationship with someone

special.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Don’t wait for others to pitch in. Take care of your responsibilities without making a fuss. The less interference you experience, the more you will accomplish.

Do what’s expected of you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Emotional matters will take charge, leaving you in an awkward position. Don’t feel compelled to disclose personal information. Set realistic goals and do your best to succeed.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Listen to others, but don’t take what they say literally. Emotional blackmail will end up costing you if you let it.

Don’t let children or anyone, for that matter, make you feel guilty.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Don’t let changes going

on around you cause distress. Embrace whatever comes your way by contributing your unique touch. Earn your place at the top. Celebrate with someone you love.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Listen carefully. The information you are being given could easily influence your position, as well as your relationship with someone you’ve grown to love and trust. Lead the way instead of following.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Speak clearly and ask questions if you feel uncertain. Transparency will make your life and choices much easier.

Offer honesty, and insist on the same from those you deal with.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Emotions and money don’t mix. If you are attached to something, there is no price anyone can pay for it.

Fair judgment will be required if you want to be viewed as honest.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Confusion and delays will set in if you travel or attend a reunion or event that will bring you in touch with people from your past. Don’t believe everything you hear.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Keep your emotions steady and your sights fixed on what you want to achieve. Giving in to someone dangling temptation in front of you will set you back and create limitations.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Joint ventures will prove to be prosperous. Emotional sensitivity will give you the insight you need to make the best choice possible. Celebrate your victory with a loved one. Self-improvement is featured.
