When Gloria Ricken received the call, she knew she needed to help.

It was a woman on the line, telling her that her grandson was in trouble.

She put him on the line.

“John?” Gloria asked. “Is that you?”

It sounded just like him, although he said his nose had been broken so he might sound a little different than normal.

John was in Virginia and had gotten into trouble. He needed help, right away.

He needed a few thousand dollars, you see. And that money needed to be sent right away, so he could come home.

Just promise not to tell anyone, especially his parents, John asked her.

Gloria promised she wouldn’t.

The 83-year-old lives on Frederick Street in Joliet, the same place she has lived since 1961. And John asked her to go to two spots, the Walgreens at Larkin and Ingalls avenues and then the Food 4 Less.

He asked her to wire $1,000 from each place to a lawyer in New York.

VIEWS

Jon Styf Once she got to Walgreens, the woman behind the photo desk had a lot of questions for her about who she was wiring the money to.

Soon enough, Walgreens staff advised Gloria not to wire the money.

She was being scammed. That wasn’t John on the phone. In fact, as she found out later when she called her son-in-law, John had been at work the whole time.

Gloria wasn’t the first person to come into that Joliet Walgreens trying to do the same thing, she was told.

How do I know all this?

Well, Gloria called this week.

She knows that scams targeting the elderly are an issue, she had even heard of a similar scam to this before.

“I just put it all aside after I heard what I thought was my grandson’s voice,”

Joliet District 86 board poised to appoint new member

By FELIX SARVER

fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The Joliet Public Schools District 86 board may appoint a new member next week.

The Board of School Inspectors is scheduled to vote Wednesday on a new member to fill a vacancy after former board inspector Christine Kim resigned earlier this year. Her term was to be up in 2019.

“Their plans were hoping to vote on somebody next week,” said Sandy Zalewski, the district’s spokeswoman.

Board inspectors have interviewed the following candidates:

• Kathy Alexander • Alice Manning-Dowd • Erick Deshaun Dorris Alexander works as a special education paraprofessional for Lockport

Dorris is a 1999 Joliet Central High School graduate and co-founder of United In Excellence, a community organization that advocates for students and programs at Joliet Township High School District 204.

The district sought applicants interested in filling Kim’s vacant seat, with a deadline of Feb. 17. One of the requirements for the seat was for the candidate to live on the East Side of Joliet – east of the Des Plaines River – for at least one year. The board will have an election in April for three seats. Incumbent Gwendolyn Ulmer and Sanina “Nina” Campbell are running for one East Side seat.

Loretta Westbrooks and incumbents Anthony Contos and board Vice President Jeffrey Pritz are running for two West Side seats.

she said. “It sounded just like him.”

Looking back, they didn’t even know her grandson’s name. They had waited for her to say a name and went with it.

After the money didn’t arrive, the scammers called back.

Gloria answered and told them she wasn’t sending any money. The woman on the other line was upset she wouldn’t help her grandson, upset at Gloria. Then the woman hung up, Gloria thinks it was because she was afraid that police were on the line.

Gloria’s hope is that telling her story could help someone else from falling for the same scam, no matter how real it felt.

Her biggest regret was not calling her son-in-law right away to confirm what was happening.

Next time, she will.

Two arrested after Crest Hill prostitution investigation

By BRIAN STANLEY

bstanley@shawmedia.com CREST HILL – A massage parlor was shut down last month after police investigated prostitution complaints.

Police Chief Ed Clark said Friday that the department had concluded an investigation into criminal activity at 7 Day Spa, 2430 Plainfield Road.

“We received complaints and contacted the Will County Cooperative Police Assistance Team to conduct an undercover investigation,” Clark said.

On Feb. 16, police arrested Mickey Ye, 32, of Chicago, on a charge of prostitution and Wanting Yu, 41, of Chicago, was arrested on a charge of obstructing a police officer. The business also was shut down, Clark said.

“We had some other investigative aspects that required more time before we announced this,” Clark said Friday.

CORPORATE HQ WANTED Can Will County provide a good home for business?

By BOB OKON

bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Will County is not known for its corporate headquarters, but CEO Rocky Caylor is happy with Cadence Premier Logistics’ new home in Joliet.

“If I had to do it all over again, I wouldn’t do anything differently,” Caylor said at the Cadence headquarters, where the company moved in December.

Caylor talked about the company’s plans to create a campus to complement the trucking operation it runs out of Joliet. He is working on arrangements to bring in related businesses. Cadence even has an indoor soccer field with artificial turf, reflecting the company owner’s interest in the sport.

Most of all, Caylor said, employees are happier.

“For our employees just not having the headaches of traffic in Cook County, that completely changes things,” he said. “If somebody has to fight traffic every day going to work and coming home from work, that really affects the employees. If you can get away from that, it changes attitudes. It really affects the culture.”

Joliet city officials point to Cadence as the kind of development they would like to see in town because of the jobs and because a corporate headquarters raises the business profile of the community.

The city even made a pitch to Caterpillar Inc., which plans to move its corporate headquarters to the Chicago region.

Where the jobs are

Joliet and even Will County may seem a far-fetched option for a global company like Caterpillar.

Conventional wisdom is that Caterpillar is headed to Cook County.

So is the largest share of the Will County labor force.

According to the Workforce Investment Board of Will County, 35 percent of workers who live here commute to Cook County for their jobs. Only 31 percent of them work in Will County.

“That’s not unusual in a metropolitan region,” said Pat Fera, director of the Workforce Investment Board.

“There are some jobs we will never have if you look at the stock exchange and all the financial institutions in Chicago.”

Arnold reflects on law enforcement career

By BRIAN STANLEY

Wilmington Police Chief Phillip Arnold gives a tour of the new police station in Wilmington during an open house in November 2015.

“Of all the places I’ve worked, it’s the most supportive of the police department,” Arnold said of Wilmington. “You see all these news stories of violence against police officers and it gets discouraging, but some schoolteachers sent a basket of Girl Scout cookies and coffee to the station last week.

That’s a breath of fresh air.”

bstanley@shawmedia.com Phillip Arnold, 54, has been a police officer for more than 30 years and police chief in Wilmington since 2014.

On Friday, he sat down with Senior Reporter Brian Stanley to talk about how his career brought him to The Island City.

Stanley: Where are you from?

Arnold: I grew up in Harvey. Well,

actually, my house was in the two odd blocks that were still in the South Holland village limits at the time, but it was surrounded by Harvey and that’s where I went to school.

Stanley: And when did you want to become a police officer?

Arnold: Since I was 4 years old.

Before that, I remember I wanted to be a garbageman because they got to hang off the back of the truck. In high school I was what was then called a “civil defense cadet,” which would be like emergency management now.

Then I worked for an ambulance company, then a police dispatcher in Harvey. At that time, you didn’t have to go to college to be a police officer, so I was just waiting to turn 21. Except when I did, there were really no police jobs available.

Stanley: So what’d you do?

Arnold: The ambulance owner also

operated a funeral home, so I started working there and received a degree in mortuary science. [While that was going on] Harvey police were required to update their eligibility list, so I paid $25, which was a lot for me, went on a Saturday morning to sit in the Thornton High School cafeteria with 325 people testing for the list while there were zero openings. I thought, “This is the biggest waste of my time.”

A month later, I got a call from a friend who worked on the department.

He said, “I’ve just been in the chief’s office and he had the eligibility list on his desk. Your name’s at the top, but it was upside down so I couldn’t tell if it was ranking or alphabetical order.”

Stanley: It turned out to be ranking in that case, but does “Arnold” usually get the first packet at a police chief’s conference?

Arnold: Mostly, yes. But my first

chief was “Abbott.” And there are many times they’re addressing “Chief Arnold Phillips.”

Stanley: What was your early police experience like?

Shaw Media file photo

Arnold: I still had six months of mortuary school I wanted to finish and the chief said that would work out fine because there wasn’t a slot in the academy for seven months, so I was going to work in the record room in the afternoons. One guy got hurt, another retired.

After one week, they had me riding with another officer. On my second day of field training, a guy tried to stab me. That was my first felony arrest. A few months later, I went into roll call and find out I’m assigned to a sector by myself. I worked the streets for about a year before I finally went to the academy.

Stanley: Did you ever go into the old Dixie Square Mall [which stood vacant for over 30 years before being torn down]?

Arnold: I was in it before it closed.

corruption there. We had 75 officers when I left the first time, were down to about 25 when I returned – several of those ended up getting arrested, and the department was back up to about 100 officers when I went on to become chief in Thornton. There, I was named the Illinois Chief of the Year but also had to arrest the fire chief for molesting cadets. I moved on to Amtrak police for several years and finally the Illinois Terrorism Task Force before ...

Arnold: I thought a rural commu-

Arnold: I’d ridden through on my

Stanley: And that growth requires expanding the department?

Arnold: We plan to hire six more

Stanley: And the rest of the town?

Arnold: I like it a lot. Of all the

But yeah, I saw a couple of bodies in there. Going through, you could still see the tire tracks from where they filmed “The Blues Brothers” inside, though when it was open, the mall never looked as good as it did in that movie.

places I’ve worked, it’s the most supportive of the police department. You see all these news stories of violence against police officers and it gets discouraging, but some schoolteachers sent a basket of Girl Scout cookies and coffee to the station last week. That’s a breath of fresh air.

Stanley: I think it’d be easiest for readers if we summarize the rest of your career path.

Arnold: After Harvey police, I trans-

Stanley: And you still go out on calls?

Arnold: Sometimes. There are times

we can use another officer on the street. I keep the radio on and I enjoy getting out of the station. And I don’t have to write the report.

Stanley: So what are the challenges

nity would have problems with meth, but I found out quickly it’s heroin, just like the rest of America. The Ridgeport Logistics Center that will be at Interstate 55 and Lorenzo Road will give us [more to handle] with a lot of warehouses and some retail, but it’s great for the community to add those jobs and it’s far enough outside of town for us to address traffic concerns.

officers in the next five years. If I get the chance, I’d like to spend eight more years as chief. I’ve been doing [police work] a long time, but I don’t feel old. I did just get a new knee, but that seems to be working well too.

Stanley: And what do you do when you aren’t policing?

Arnold: I’ve been riding motor-

cycles since I was a teen. It’s a nice release. It’s relaxing. I do a lot of weekend trips. I go cross-country. I’ve ridden through every state except Alaska – that’s on the bucket list. I had to rent a bike in Hawaii, but that counts for me. And my wife and I enjoy spending time with her 3-yearold grandson, Jase. I never had any kids so it’s interesting to have that [family] dynamic now. I didn’t want to be “Paw Paw” so he calls me “Po Po” – we got some police slang in there.

D-210 teachers union sets candidates forum Thirteen competing for 5 open board seats

If you go

n WHAT: District 210 candidates forum n WHEN: 7 to 9 p.m.

By FELIX SARVER Wednesday fsarver@shawmedia.com n WHERE: Lincoln-Way Central High School, 1801 NEW LENOX – All 13 candidates for E. Lincoln Highway, New Lenox Lincoln-Way School District 210 are expected to show up to a forum Wednesday hosted by the district’s teachers union.

The forum will be from 7 to 9 p.m. at Lincoln-Way Central High School, 1801 E. Lincoln Highway, New Lenox. It will be the first and possibly the only time all candidates will appear on the same stage at the same time, according to the Lincoln-Way Education Association, the district’s teachers union.

Union President Tim Conway said the forum will start with questions from the public that were emailed and then open up to the audience for questions.

The union has been taking questions from the public by email at lwea210@gmail.com.

Conway said that in the past when the LWEA has held the forum, it was sparsely attended. This school board race will be the first since a series of controversies that began when the district’s dire finances came to light in 2015.

“I’m anticipating more people this time around,” Conway said.

He also said the LWEA will meet the day after the forum to discuss the candidates and the possibility of recommending or endorsing any of them.

A previous forum for the candidates was held Feb. 2 by resident group Lincoln-Way Area Taxpayers Unite, but only six candidates appeared, with the Citizens For 210 slate declining to attend out of concerns of bias.

Thirteen candidates are competing for five open seats on the board.

Those candidates include incumbents board President Dee Molinare, who was first appointed to the board in 2011; board member Chris Kosel, first elected in 2005; and board members Christopher Lucchetti, Joseph Kirkeeng and Joseph Kosteck.

Lucchetti, Kirkeeng and Kosteck were appointed to the board last year when several board members resigned.

Kirkeeng and Kosteck are running with candidate Aaron Janik, a Mokena School District 159 board vice president, and have a political committee called Candidates For Lincoln-Way Excellence.

The Citizens For 210 slate that is running are Karen Town, Lee Talley, Cathy Pleasant, Gus Yiakos and Ben Yomtoob.

Town is a marketing specialist for Moraine Valley Community College; Talley is a former educator who’s previously worked with LWATU; Pleasant is a Will County deputy auditor who sits on the district’s finance and building committee; Yiakos is a teacher at Hillcrest High School; Yomtoob was a board member for Lincolnshire-Prairie View District 103.

Also running is Robert Ripp, a former LWATU vice president, and Beth Janus-Doyle, of Mokena, who teaches at Harold L. Richards High School.

Limited snow in winter not a problem for plants

By TONY SCOTT

tscott@kendallcountynow.com Kendall County may have not seen much white stuff on the ground this winter, but there’s plenty of water for growing crops and there won’t be much of an effect on flowers and other plants, local experts say.

Dan Reedy, manager of the Kendall County Farm Bureau in Yorkville, said there has been enough rain to sustain moisture in the ground for growing crops in the summer despite the lack of snow this winter.

“Even though we did not have snow, we had plenty of rain during the month of January and into February to not have any concerns at this point that we do not have subsoil moisture,” he said.

“At the times when it rained, even back in January, the ground was not as frozen as what you’d normally think at that point in time.

“So a lot of it did end up absorbing into the soil and going on down.

Of course, we did have some runoff, but considering it was January, a lot of it did go down into the soil. So even though we didn’t get the snow, we got lots of liquid rain.”

Tulip bulbs pop up in the yard of a home in the Countryside Center subdivision in Yorkville this week. The warm, rainy weather – combined with more leaf coverage than usual – has caused many bulbs to emerge from the soil.

Extension, said there was a greater amount of leaf cover on the ground this winter because the leaves didn’t fall from trees until later than normal. He said the thicker leaf cover is causing bulbs to pop out of the ground more.

“With the good weather we’ve had on the weekends, people are out looking and cleaning, even though they wouldn’t normally be thinking about this until April,” he said. “So they’re pulling up some of these leaves. With-

STATE BRIEFS Illinois inmate mistakenly released captured in Georgia

CHICAGO – An Illinois man accused in a 2012 Chicago expressway killing and mistakenly released from state custody last month has been captured in Georgia.

A Cook County Sheriff’s Office statement Saturday said authorities found Garrett Glover in Atlanta’s suburb of Lithonia late Friday. He was at the apartment of a relative’s girlfriend.

The 29-year-old is awaiting trial in the shooting of 25-year-old Larry Porter. The sheriff’s office said he’ll be extradited to Cook County to face additional charges of escape.

Illinois’ Department of Corrections released him on parole in an unrelated case, saying it wasn’t informed he should be held. It released him Feb. 24 after he’d

been sentenced to two years for a 2014 attempted armed robbery.

Grandmother’s emergency try for guardianship of child denied

CHICAGO – A judge has denied a paternal grandmother’s emergency petition for custody of the child of a Chicago woman imprisoned in Indonesia for the 2014 killing of her mother.

The Chicago Tribune reported that Judge Susan Kennedy Sullivan on Friday cited procedural issues for denying the petition of Kia Walker. The Cook County judge questioned if she even has jurisdiction over the child.

Stella Schaefer was born shortly before her parents, Heather Mack and Tommy Schaefer, were convicted in the 2015 killing of Mack’s mother, Sheila von Wiese-Mack.

JOLIET – Joliet didn’t lose a ton, but it lost a lot.

The Joliet Weight Loss Challenge ended last week with participants shedding a collective 1,463 pounds.

That’s a lot of pounds. But it’s not a ton, or 2,000 pounds.

The Joliet Park District, which has organized the program at the start of the year for four years, targets a ton of weight loss, which has led to the effort being dubbed “Lose a Ton.” “Over the last four years we lost over 8,000 pounds, which amounts to a ton a year,” said Gina Rodriguez, fitness superintendent for the park district.

In 2016, the collective weight loss reached 2,416 pounds, the most for the program so far.

Maybe people just have less to give.

“If they gave us 12 pounds last year, they can’t give us 12 pounds every year,” Rodriguez said.

There still were some big losers, which means they were winners.

The Joliet Park District awards prizes each year to the male and female participants who lose the highest percentages of their body weight.

Biggest losers this year were Maureen Pulaski of Shorewood at 15.32 percent and Bart Zimmer of Joliet at 14.3 percent.

The goal of the program is to increase fitness awareness.

Participants weigh in at the start of the program, which was Jan. 16, and with the advice of park district nutritionists and trainers if they want it, seek to lose pounds by the end of the program, which was Thursday night.

This year, 620 people weighed in.

Only 277 weighed out. But the numbers weighing out are always much lower than those who start the program.

“If we got over 600 people to step on a scale, that’s great,” Rodriguez said.

“That’s what we’re trying to do – create awareness.”

PLAINFIELD – Sixty-five percent of the Plainfield North High School students who took the National German Exam earned special honors for their achievement. In all, 20 PNHS students took the rigorous test and 13 earned special designation for their top scores.

Junior Rebecca Lau earned a “Goldurkunde” (or Gold Certificate) for scoring in the 90th to 99th percentiles on the exam. Her score also fell in the top 5 percent of all scores for Level 3 students nationwide.

Lau is now eligible to receive the AATG/PAD Study Trip Award. Winning students spend three to four weeks living in Germany, attend classes and see culturally-significant landmarks.

These students earned a Silberurkunde (Silver Certificate) for scoring in the 80th to 89th percentiles: • Mary Kate Hynek (junior) • Vicki Farmer (senior) • Austin Swatek (senior)

park.

“This park serves the southern part of the village that has been underserved,” Chapman said.

The village hall and police department will soon have upgrades to its security due to an approval of the installation of updated electronic access control to public areas in the village hall. The proposal of $73,858 went to Esscoe Engineered Systems.

“The electronic access to the building and certain areas are 10 years old and the police station areas are older.

We looked the situation over and because the way the world is today, we needed more secure access points in public areas of the building,” Chapman said.

In the Committee of the Whole meeting, Chapman brought a proposal to allow the current impact fee rates to

SHOREWOOD – Due to inclement weather, the village of Shorewood trustees canceled its original meeting on Feb. 28 and rescheduled for March 3.

Two construction projects within the village were approved unanimously on Friday, one being a intergovernmental agreement between the city of Joliet, the Forest Preserve District of Will County and the Village of Shorewood for a bike path over Interstate 55 and the DuPage River, which would connect Joliet bike trails into Shorewood bike trails.

Shorewood Mayor Rick Chapman said the plans had already been approved by Will County, but needed the village approval and agreement to not stand in the way of the construction project that will be funded from county grants from the state of Illinois.

The trustees also approved a bid from Wilkinson Excavating for Wynstone Park in the amount of $610,234, which allows the construction of the park to proceed. The park, located near Wynstone and Mound Roads, has been slated to open in the fall of 2018.

Chapman said the village received a $690,000 grant from the state’s open state grants for the construction of the

Biggest employers headquartered in Will County

• HQ

Continued from page 3 Central Grocers in Joliet, Ozinga in Mokena and Ulta Beauty in Bolingbrook are a few of the Will County-based corporations that have regional and even national reach.

Even so, when Caterpillar announced it was looking for existing office space in the Chicago region for its corporate headquarters, there wasn’t a lot to offer.

Office space amounts to about 2 percent of the available business property in the county, said John Greuling, CEO of the Will County Center for Economic Development.

Unlike the massive 1 million-squarefoot warehouses being built with plans to attract future users, construction of speculative office space is rare.

“They’re not building that anywhere,” Greuling said. “Nobody’s building speculative office space. Since the recession, there’s been a glut.”

Even in business corridors such as Interstate 88 in DuPage County, office vacancy rates are high, Greuling said.

But for companies like Cadence that look for room to grow, Will County does have something to offer.

“We’ve got plenty of land, and it’s relatively affordable,” Greuling said, pointing to Julian Electric, which is coming to Will County to expand operations.

n Silver Cross Hospital, New Lenox n Ozinga, Mokena n WeatherTech, Bolingbrook n Paduit Company, Tinley Park n Applied Systems, University Park n Ulta Beauty, Bolingbrook n Central Grocers, Joliet n G&W Electric, Bolingbrook

Source: Will County Center for Economic Development Now in Westmont, Julian Electric is building a 175,000-square-foot headquarters and manufacturing plant in Lockport on land near Interstate 355.

Greuling sees I-355 and Interstate 80 as two corridors with potential for office growth. The village of Orland Park, he said, is trying to create an office campus in an area along I-80 that is in Will County. Motorists passing the spot may notice the Horton Group building, a corporate headquarters for an insurance company with offices in five states.

Murer Group

The Murer Group, a health care consultant with clients in 42 states, moved its offices three years ago to a Mokena building near I-80.

The Murer Group is home-grown, having started in Joliet in 1985.

CEO Lyndean Lenhoff Brick said the company moved to Mokena because it needed more space than it could find in Joliet. But she did not want to move out of Will County.

“We raised our children here. We have friends here. This is where we’re from,” Brick said. “The transportation is really good. The proximity to Chicago is very good. There’s a great workforce, too.”

Murer’s 35 employees come from throughout the metropolitan region, including downtown Chicago. Those who live in the city can catch the Metra train, which stops at a Mokena station within walking distance of Murer’s office.

“Our office is right by the train, and that was very important to me,” Brick said.

Cadence has 50 employees in its corporate office.

Jason Esser, vice president of administration and logistics, is an example of the kind of employee Caylor talked about. He lived in Joliet for years before the company made its decision to move here from Alsip. His wife, Tiffany, is a teacher at Nelson Prairie School in New Lenox.

His commute is shorter, and Esser said it is good to have the company in his hometown.

“I’m just happy as a resident of Joliet that Cadence is now part of the Joliet community,” he said.

because normally in fall the temperatures progressively get colder and that’s a signal to the plant, hey, it’s time to go to sleep,” he said. “With the long protracted fall, there are a variety of trees that, if they were down in southern Illinois they’d be growing.

They get shut off by the stimuli of cold weather and things here. So that did not happen and that’s why all those leaves hung on as long as they did and finally came down after our first heavy snow.”

He continued, “If those buds and associated growth with those leaves, especially toward the tip, did not get hardened off in time, because of the long fall, then we would expect to see bud death, twig dieback, winter kill in other words. And on trees and plants that are not truly zone hardy up here, that can happen anyway. But I think that potential is certainly there.”

Mindfulness is a powerful practice for becoming keenly aware of our thoughts and emotions, interactions with others, as well as our experiences. Mindfulness can be used to connect with loved ones with memory care needs in the present moment, whatever time frame that may be for the person with dementia. Numerous clinical studies indicate mindfulness meditation’s effectiveness in staving off stress and stress-related health problems. Research shows mindfulness improves memory, creativity and reaction times. It also has been proven to help in the treatment of heart disease and high blood pressure; boosts the immune system; eases anxiety, PTSD, depression, chronic pain and gastrointestinal problems; and can increase sleep, among others. In this lecture, you will learn how to build mindfulness cues into your daily life and we’ll practice a mindfulness meditation technique. We will also experience sensory awareness techniques that can assist in heightening consciousness. Presented

whether they want to continue or not.

With that extra layer of leaves to get to the surface now they have to go farther.

So, remove the leaves that are piled up, lo and behold we’re seeing stuff out of the ground much taller. The best thing to do by the way is cover it back up; don’t pull the leaves totally away.”

Hentschel said the flower bulbs are “only responding to their environment” and “that’s pretty typical.”

“We have very early spring bulbs, snowdrops and other early spring bulbs, I’ve seen them in bloom with snow on them,” he said. “So those very early guys are going to be up anyway, and perhaps this year earlier. But they are responding to the environment.”

Hentschel said flowers will bloom as usual in the spring.

“If we had a turn of cold weather and the top of what’s out of the ground froze, the flower for that bulb is still down in the ground, inside the bulb,” he said. “So we’re still going to get the flower show. We may have leaves that are fried at the top, burnt, and the rest of the leaves will come out later and then the blooms will come out. So I’m really not expecting tragedy.”

He said, however, that the trees might be affected from the longer fall temperatures.

“There is a bit of a concern there

“Even though we did not have snow, we had plenty of rain during the month of January and into February to not have any concerns at this point that we do not have subsoil moisture.”

Assistant superintendent of business meeting.

The board Thursday also gave Troy clearance to look into using a performance contractor, rather than an architect, to investigate and repair a long-term water leak in the central campus cafetorium.

“This is a problem that has plagued us for years,” Troy said. “We’ve tried to fix it by traditional methods. ... I don’t believe it was done right.”

The source of the leak is most likely in the flashing, he explained, where the old building meets the cafetorium.

By using a performance contractor rather than an architect, Troy said, the provider would enter into a written guarantee with the district that the energy or operational cost savings, or both, will meet or exceed the cost of the energy conservation measures within 20 years.

Troy said he felt that performance contractors would also be preferable for their increased level of engineering expertise.

The district is also considering summer repairs to central campus, including removing restrooms from the principal’s conference room and adding cabinetry, moving an office wall on the dean’s office to provide seating for students, painting in hallways, installing an additional climbing wall for the climbing club and installing ticket booths.

Board members Wendi Arlis and Patti Ruettiger were absent from Thursday’s meeting. home, which he felt brought in developers as well as young families to the area because of the lower impact fee rates.

The impact fee, explained by Chapman was a calculation of impact put on the community due to the infrastructure required to be built because of a home being built.

Chapman said he expects this proposal to be on the agenda for a first read at the next village meeting scheduled for 7 p.m. March 14.

MINOOKA – Although the Minooka Community High School District 111 Board of Education took no action at its Thursday meeting, members discussed a proposed resolution that would place a maximum dollar limit on what individual board members and staff would be allowed to spend when attending school-related meetings.

The $800 limit suggested by administrators was called too high by several school board members, who said that $500 might be a better figure.

“I don’t think it needs to be that high,” board member Lori Lakota said of the proposed $800 limit.

If the limit were to be exceeded, the spender would be able to go before the board for a vote on an exception due to an “extraordinary circumstance.”

“I know I never spend that much,” board President Mike Brozovich said.

The figure of $800, Assistant Superintendent of Business John Troy said, was given to the district by the Will County Regional Office of Education, which he said had surveyed several schools for their travel expense figures.

“There is a tremendous amount of professional development,” Troy said of the meetings.

Superintendent Kenneth Lee said meetings the school board and administrators attend each year are called “Triple I” and include the Illinois Association of School Boards, the Illinois Association of School Administrators and the Illinois Association of School Business Officials.

The travel expense forms submitted by staff and board members are itemized, he added.

Board member Chris Kobe asked if staff would gather data on how much members and staff have previously spent on travel, meals and lodging attending meetings for the district, then report back at the next board

Really?

Did you know that of cancers affecting both men and women, colorectal cancer is the second leading cancer killer? But this is one cancer you can prevent.

Screening tests help find polyps so they can be removed before they turn into cancer.

So, if you’re 50 or older, do everything you can to prevent colorectal cancer. Screening really does save lives!

Union membership in the state was still stronger than the national average of 10.7 percent in 2016 and 11.1 percent in 2015. Illinois’ average has exceeded national levels since state comparisons began.

“Across the country, the labor numbers are down,” said Dino Leone, president of the Quad City Federation of Labor, adding that there has been a resurgence in organizing as a result.

Trump accuses Obama of tapping his phones

President cites no evidence for tweeted allegation

By DARLENE SUPERVILLE and JULIE PACE The Associated Press

PALM BEACH, Fla. – President Donald Trump on Saturday accused former President Barack Obama of tapping his telephones during last year’s election, lodging a startling allegation of abuse of power without evidence or explanation.

An Obama spokesman declared the assertion “simply false.”

In a series of angry morning tweets, Trump suggested his predecessor was behind a politically motivated plot to upend his campaign. He compared the alleged events to “Nixon/Watergate” and “McCarthyism!” He called Obama a “Bad (or sick) guy.”

Trump’s claims drew bipartisan rebukes from Democrats and Republicans alike who find his habit of venting on social media to be beneath the office of the president. After delivering a well-received speech to Congress earlier this week, the tweets reflected the president’s growing frustration with the swirling allegations about his advisers’ ties to Russia, which are under FBI investigation, and his team’s inability to overcome them. Trump lashed out at his senior team during an Oval Office meeting Friday, one White House official said.

The White House did not respond to questions about what prompted the president’s accusations that Obama had tapped his phones. Presidents cannot legally order wiretaps against U.S. citizens.

Trump said Saturday morning that he had “just found out” the information, though it was unclear whether he was referring to a briefing, a conversation or a media report.

The president has in the past tweeted about unsubstantiated and provocative reports he

Still, the morning tweets stand out, even for the perpetually piqued Trump, given the gravity of the charge and the strikingly personal attack on the former president. Trump spoke as recently as last month about how much he likes Obama and how much they get along, despite their differences.

“How low has President Obama gone to tapp my phones during the very sacred election process. This is Nixon/ Watergate. Bad (or sick) guy!” he tweeted, misspelling “tap.”

Obama spokesman Kevin Lewis said a “cardinal rule” of the Obama administration was that no White House official ever interfered in Justice Department investigations, which are supposed to be conducted free of political influence.

“As part of that practice, neither President Obama nor any White House official ever ordered surveillance on any U.S. citizen,” Lewis said, adding that “any suggestion otherwise is simply false.”

Rep. Adam Schiff of California, the senior Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, said in a statement that Trump

was making “the most outlandish and destructive claims without providing a scintilla of evidence to support them.”

Sen. Ben Sasse, R-Neb., called on Trump to explain what he knows about the wiretapping allegations “ideally to the full public, and at a bare minimum to the U.S. Senate.”

Trump has been trailed for months by questions about his campaign’s ties to Russia.

The questions have been compounded by U.S. intelligence agencies’ assessment that Russia interfered with the election to help Trump triumph over Hillary Clinton, along with disclosures about his aides’ contacts with a Russian official.

Those disclosures have already cost retired Gen. Michael Flynn his job as national security adviser and prompted calls from Democrats for Attorney General Jeff Sessions to resign.

On Thursday, Sessions recused himself from the FBI probe after acknowledging he did not disclose his campaign-season contacts with Russia’s ambassador to the United States when asked during his confirmation proceedings. Sessions, a U.S. senator at the time, was Trump’s earliest Senate supporter.

Immigration courts see record number of cases

By KATE BRUMBACK

An unidentified Guatemalan woman stands inside a dormitory on Sept. 10, 2014, in the Artesia Family Residential Center, a federal detention facility for undocumented immigrant mothers and children in Artesia, N.M.

The Associated Press

ATLANTA – Everyone was in place for the hearing in Atlanta immigration court: the Guinean man hoping to stay in the U.S., his attorney, a prosecutor, a translator and the judge. But because of some missing paperwork, it was all for nothing.

When the government attorney said he hadn’t received the case file, Judge J. Dan Pelletier rescheduled the proceeding. Everybody would have to come back another day.

The sudden delay was just one example of the inefficiency witnessed by an Associated Press writer who observed hearings over two days in one of the nation’s busiest immigration courts.

And that case is one of more than half a million weighing down court dockets across the country as President Donald Trump steps up enforcement of immigration laws.

Even before Trump became president, the nation’s immigration courts were burdened with a record number of pending cases, a shortage of judges and frequent bureaucratic breakdowns.

Cases involving immigrants not in custody commonly take two years to resolve and sometimes as many as five.

The backlog and insufficient resources are problems stretching back at least a decade, said San Francisco Immigration Judge Dana Marks, speaking as the president of the National Association of Immigration Judges.

“It would be a shame if the mistakes of the past continue to be repeated,” Marks said, citing previous attempts to ramp up enforcement without providing adequate resources to the courts.

Trump’s recent executive orders and subsequent memos from Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly have focused on hiring more enforcement agents to find and detain people in the country illegally, but the administra-

tion has been largely silent on beefing up immigration courts.

The system includes 58 courts in 27 states. Their job is to decide whether noncitizens charged with violating immigration laws should be allowed to stay in the U.S. Immigration judges work for the Justice Department’s Executive Office for Immigration Review, not the judicial branch.

People appearing in immigration court are generally considered to have the right to an attorney, but the court isn’t required to provide one for free as in criminal cases. Rulings can be appealed to the Board of Immigration Appeals, and board decisions can be ap-

pealed to a federal appeals court.

Of 374 authorized immigration judge positions, 301 are filled. Fifty more candidates are in various stages of the hiring process, which typically takes about a year, said Kathryn Mattingly, a spokeswoman for the Executive Office for Immigration Review.

The office “constantly evaluates the need to shift its resources,” Mattingly said, and is reviewing ways to maximize its efforts on “priority cases.”

In all, more than 534,000 cases were pending before immigration courts nationwide in February, according to a recent memo from Kelly.

Advocates worry the Trump administration will increase the use of procedures that allow authorities to deport people without using the court system at all.

“Instead of actually trying to make the courts better, they just want to use them less, even though that obviously is deeply problematic from a due-process standpoint,” said Omar Jadwat, director of the American Civil Liberties Union Immigrants’ Rights Project.

The increased use of detention could also lead immigrants with valid claims for staying in the U.S. to accept deportation, just to avoid extended periods of time in detention, Jadwat said.

Dear Mr. Berko: I just had a 2.25 percent certificate of deposit come due for $38,000.

My broker recommended I buy stock in Kimco Realty, Tanger Factory Outlet Centers and DDR Corp. because the yields are much higher and because consumer confidence will boost retail sales in 2017.

What do you think? – JF, Destin, Florida Dear JF: It seems the world was so

much less complicated when it was flat!

Starting in the late 1970s, a sure pathway to success for Macy’s, Sears, J.C. Penney and other mega department stores was building 150,000- to 575,000-square-foot locations, anchored in the corners of super-malls in Hollywood, Portland, Bowling Green, Sarasota, Houston, Dallas, Tulsa, Las Vegas, Minneapolis, Louisville, Tampa, etc.

In those days, there was gold dust in the air; success was like duck soup, shooting fish in a barrel, taking candy from a baby. And investors, as usual, thought it would never end.

The giddy late 1970s through the bubbleheaded early 2000s was a Golconda stretching as far as one’s imagination could see.

But sometimes, good times meet their end. The number of enclosed

TAKING STOCK Malcolm Berko shopping malls with a vacancy rate at or above 40 percent – when malls typically enter their death throes – has more than tripled in the past 10 years. They’ve become eyesores that are visible along the major city arteries.

Today, mall real estate investment trusts are investments that yield seekers must avoid. Despite some tempting dividends, the future is bleak for mall properties, many of which are becoming ghost towns.

The easy, good times are gone, and those big-name, heavily advertised anchor stores have become millstones.

Chico’s, American Eagle, The Limited, Aeropostale, Abercrombie & Fitch, Men’s Wearhouse and other mall retailers have been outmaneuvered by numerous online retailers.

Last year, the top 25 e-commerce retailers posted $159 billion in revenues, an amount that’s growing by 11 to 13 percent a year. Never in a hundred, never in a thousand and never in a million years would I have thought e-commerce retail sales

would be so strong.

It’s been a shrewd awakening for retailers and mall owners, such as Taubman Centers (TCO-$75) and DDR Corp. (DDR-$15).

In 2015, vacancy rates increased in 30 of 77 U.S. metro areas, and rents declined in 17 of those metro areas during the last quarter of 2016. Vacancy rates are expected to be higher for 2017-18, and rents will certainly decline again.

Sears will be closing 150 stores.

Macy’s will close 63 stores. And Linens ’n Things, American Apparel, Quiksilver, Wet Seal and other smaller national retailers have filed for bankruptcy protection.

Meanwhile, Acadia Realty Trust (AKR-$32), Kimco Realty (KIM-$24), Tanger Factory Outlet Centers (SKT$34) and Macerich (MAC-$67) are down from their previous highs, and each expects to report lower earnings for 2017 and 2018.

And say goodbye to long-trusted names such as Jordan Marsh, HeiligMeyers, Burdines, Sports Authority, Robinson’s, Hudson’s, Marshall Field’s, May Department Stores, Wannemaker’s, I. Magnin, Filene’s Basement and Halle Brothers.

The malls they vacated face the heavy and difficult responsibility of replacing that rental income – plus

the foot traffic it generated, upon which companion retailers depended for business. Mall lessees recognize they’re stuck between Iraq and a hot plate.

They’ve become victims of a digital age in which consumers can get fast, friendly and willing self-service. And it’s off-putting to be in the service of a young woman with green hair, neck tattoos and pierced lips who doesn’t know the inventory and uses nouns as verbs.

There are about 1,100 enclosed malls in the U.S., and some of Wall Street’s retail analysts suggest that about 400 of those malls will fail in the coming three to six years. The U.S. has an estimated 52 square feet of retail space per citizen, which is about twice as much as any other country in the world has; that’s the American way.

And that’s just the beginning of the rapid decline that may further hurt the shopping center REITs mentioned above, as well as other big boys, such as Simon Property Group, Federal Realty Investment Trust and Regency Centers.

OPINIONS OUR VIEW

City needs to step up on parking Thumbs down: To the city of Joliet’s slow enforcement of its increased handicapped parking fine. The city doubled the fine for parking illegally in handicapped spots to $500 in 2014.

But many, if not most, handicapped spots are still marked with the $250 signs and violators are only required to pay the fine posted at the spot. The city has begun a push to put out more of the new signs, but a local disability advocate has been a major catalyst in the effort. While it’s disputed how effective heightened handicapped parking fines are, the obligation to ensure city policies are implemented lies with the government, not the residents.

Thumbs up: To Will County Board member Ray Tuminello, R-New Lenox, and the board’s executive committee, which recommended an independent group be put together to review the salaries of elected county officials.

Tuminello suggested the review after looking through salary numbers and noticing they all looked the same, regardless of the scope of work of the respective positions. This move may ruffle some feathers, but it’s encouraging to see a county board member acting in the interest of fairness. And the committee’s recommendation that Will County Center for Economic Development President John Greuling form a group of business owners, educators and economic developers to review the compensation makes sense.

Thumbs down: To the heroin epidemic that continues to harm Will County communities. Last week, The Herald-News ran a four-day series examining the nuances of the crisis that resulted in 77 heroin-related overdose deaths in 2016. While the death rates are tragic, it’s encouraging to see local agencies rising to meet the challenge heroin use presents, from turning police departments into treatment resources to teaching drug prevention to younger and younger students to training first responders in the use of the heroin antidote naloxone.

“We must work together to save Americans from Obamacare.”

– President Donald Trump

Bill Wimbiscus “well baby care.”

The timing couldn’t have been better. Obamacare started on Jan. 1, 2014.

I started on chemo seven days later.

My first foray into governmentmandated health care ended three months and about 3,000 maximum outof-pocket dollars later, when I landed a new job at a place that offered an employer-supported insurance plan at half the cost.

Problem solved. At least until I got too sick to work. And until my COBRA ran out at the end of 2015.

When I went back on Obamacare in 2016, things had changed quite a bit. First off, the premiums were a lot more expensive. In 2014, for $700 a month you could get a top-of-the line Gold plan with $1,650 deductible. By 2016, that same $700 a month provided only a Silver plan with a $3,500 deductible.

And that wasn’t the only difference. When the Marketplace debuted in 2014, Will County residents could choose from dozens of plans provided by at least 10 major insurance carriers. Two years later, more than

half of those carriers had pulled out of Illinois. And finding one that was accepted by both my local doctor and Chicago oncologist was near impossible.

Fortunately, I was able to find one plan that met all my needs from a company I’d never heard of: Land of Lincoln Health. It was a great insurer, worth every cent. After I maxed out, they covered all my bills. I never had a problem, never had a complaint … right up until the day the company went bankrupt 10 months later.

Another casualty in the evolution of Obamacare.

So now it’s 2017. That same $700 a month now only gets you a Bronze plan with a $7,000 deductible. Which means I need to shell out a total of $15,400 before the plan kicks in. Which is daunting enough, but even more so when you consider my wife’s Bronze premium runs about $920 a month.

As if that wasn’t enough, this year there were only two companies to choose between in our area. My local doctor and Chicago oncologist accepted neither, so I had to drop both physicians and get a new one.

So when Trump says Obamacare is broken, I tend to agree.

Granted, I’m not your typical Obamacare enrollee: I’m aging, and I’m unsubsidized.

Of the record 11.5 million people who signed up for Obamacare this year, somewhere around 80 percent get government subsidies, many of whom pay $50 to $100 a month for premiums …at least if you can trust some of the conflicting information on the Internet.

Most of them are younger than me.

Most of them either make less money than me or have dependents. And, truth be told, most need insurance as much or even more than I do. How any of them cover a Bronze deductible is beyond me.

So now Paul Ryan and the Republicans are going to “fix” Obamacare.

Yeah, I can hardly wait.

Here’s a thought: force everyone in Congress to relinquish their dirtcheap federally-supported commercial insurance plans and go on whatever alternative they come up with.

Truth is, if you’re stuck in Obamacare, there’s probably only one way out: find a job with an employersupported commercial insurance plan.

Either that, or make sure you never get sick.

Retail development will only happen when residential rooftops and population increases.

The village of Elwood is a working model of hundreds, perhaps thousands, of jobs created with little or no residential and retail development.

President Trump’s hatred of free press is dangerous

dia criticism and analysis that question his policies and fear mongering.

By characterizing much of the world’s populations (Muslims, Hispanics, women, African Americans) in stereotypical terms, President Trump dehumanizes them and renders them pawns in his dystopian worldview. They are expendable to him.

One looks back nostalgically to the recent past, when the presidency was infused with color, dignity, poise and hope of a brighter future for all. The contrast with today is startling. Today’s presidential aura is white, and surrounded by arrogance, extreme wealth, incompetence and hatred for the other.

At stake is democracy itself as we move incrementally away from the ideas that give it life.

Far from being an “enemy of the people,” a free press functions as the lungs of democracy and gives birth and sustenance to the free play of ideas, without which democracy will wither and die.

To the Editor: President Trump recently claimed that “the media is the enemy of the people.”

Obamacare was one of the best things that ever happened to me.

It’s also one of the worst.

Back in 2013, I was working fulltime at a job that didn’t offer health insurance, freelancing part-time at a job that offered a minimal “wellness plan,” and spending whatever time was left over on starting my own business.

Small wonder I got sick.

Way sicker than my “wellness plan,” which capped yearly benefits at $1,000, could handle.

Fortunately, the Affordable Care Act was about to kick in.

For a mere $700 a month, I got health insurance, real health insurance, just like the health insurance I’d been getting through my previous five employers, the insurance plans I’d dutifully paid into for more than three decades yet rarely used.

Even better, the insurers could no longer refuse coverage for “pre-existing” conditions, a loophole I’d gotten burned on once before when 1. my wife had the audacity to go and get herself pregnant, and 2. the baby had the audacity to be healthy enough not to require coverage beyond uncovered

BOYS BASKETBALL: CLASS 4A PLAINFIELD CENTRAL REGIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP

TIGERS REGIONAL CHAMPS Joliet West rolls over Romeoville, will face Joliet Central in sectional

By DICK GOSS

dgoss@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – In the two Southwest Prairie Conference games against Romeoville, the Joliet West boys basketball team learned it is not a good idea to take the foot off the gas.

The Tigers lost 20-point leads on each of those occasions before surviving, 72-60, on Dec. 22 and, 69-66, on Jan. 27.

In Friday night’s Class 4A Plainfield Central Regional championship, it was more of the same early. West jumped to a 20-8 lead late in the first quarter and was up 27-12 early in the second quarter before entering halftime with a 36-22 lead.

This time, however, the Tigers wanted no part of a Romeoville comeback. With West continuing to play aggressive defense and with senior guard Teyvion Kirk spearheading a full-steam-ahead offensive charge, the Tigers went on a 14-2 run to open a 5024 lead midway through the third quarter en route to a 72-44 victory.

The reward for West (25-3) is a date with rival Joliet Central in Wednesday night’s semifinal at the Lincoln-Way East Sectional. The Steelmen beat East, 59-49, to claim their regional title.

“The last two times we played Romeoville, they wound up being close games,” said Joliet West senior guard/ forward Trevian Bell, who finished with 16 points and seven rebounds.

“This was more of a statement game for us. It took a lot of weight off our shoulders when you look up, there’s five minutes left, we’re up by 20 and we’re still making big plays.”

Kirk led the Tigers with 21 points and 11 rebounds.

His quick hands and feet were among the contributors to 12 first-half

Guard DeAndre Heckard scored 12 for the Spartans but was 6 of 17 shooting.

mentality as Kirk. Start pushing the ball up the floor. Look for the open man. No one’s in your way? Take the shot and score.

That high tempo forced the Spartans to force lot of shots and miss a handful of easy buckets.

“One of our main focuses is running the transition,” Bell said. “If we can finish with layups and dunks, that’s a whole different story. We have four guys that can push the ball up the floor at all times, five when Tabyous is on the bench.”

“This is a real great team,” Kirk said. “We have a lot of weapons and pieces. If one of us is not doing good, somebody else is going to do great. Everybody played a huge role in this win.

We’re going to keep playing together and keep winning as a team.”

One of the keys for the Tigers is the way they train as a team.

West coach Nick DiForti said the team practices just how it plays. Defense is one of the strongest aspects of the Tigers’ game because of how they push themselves in practice.

“It’s all about wanting the ball. It’s all about challenging each other,” DiForti said. “We practice as hard as we play, and I’ve coached a lot of teams before and I can’t say that a lot of teams can do that.”

Not many also can say that they have won back-to-back regional titles.

Last year, Joliet West fell to Benet in the supersectional.

This year, a large number of starters returned and there are four starting seniors. Playing in these types of games have not changed from last year. To the Tigers, it is still a basketball game. The mentality, on the other hand, has changed.

“It’s been a two-year journey with

most of these guys,” DiForti said. “The experiences that they had last year is different, but yet in the same scenarios. The only way I can explain it is it’s kind of like the first time you drive a car. You’re nervous and anxious, but after you drive a car for a year, it’s just like second nature.”

Now that they are more mature and have gotten the nerves out, the Tigers have their eyes on something big.

The next obstacle is Joliet Central on Wednesday.

“I remember the time that we lost.

It was a hard feeling,” Kirk said. “I told myself that I was going to try to the best of my ability to get back to the supersectional and then, we’re going to win it and get to Peoria.”

“We have one goal, and that’s the state championship,” Bell said. “Every game, we’re playing like it’s our last.”

be,” DiForti said.

The tough part for the Spartans was, on a night when they were having difficulty solving West’s defense, they were lured into an up-tempo game.

They shot 28.8 percent, going 19 of 66 from the field.

“They sped us up completely,” Romeoville coach Marc Howard said. “In the two games prior, we did a good job pacing ourselves and kind of setting a tempo. We looked for that opportunity tonight, but they dominated in the trenches, and any opportunity they got to run down the court, they took.”

The leader of that approach, as usual, was Kirk, especially on the frequent occasions when he grabbed the defensive rebound. Away he went, either fin-

ishing himself or finding a teammate cutting to the basket before Romeoville could get its defense set. He hit 8 of 12 shots and the Tigers were 28 of 53, (52.8 percent).

“He gets downhill in a hurry,” Howard said of Kirk. “We tried to get back on defense, but he was always a couple steps ahead of us. He’s just a smart basketball player.”

Sixth man Michael Smith joined Kirk and Bell in doubles figures for West with 11 points. Eddie Creal chipped in seven points and six rebounds. Tabyous Casterberry scored six.

“This was one of our better games because of the hype around it,” Casterberry said. “And coach emphasized

at halftime that we can’t let up in the second half, and we didn’t.

“We pretty much played our game all night, but if we didn’t get it done on the defensive end, it wouldn’t have happened this way.”

And there was that other factor. En route to opening the 50-24 lead early in the third quarter, West was outrebounding Romeoville decisively.

“Coach told us championship teams rebound the ball,” Casterberry said.

“Getting defensive rebounds helps us get into a very good transition game,” DiForti said. “Even against Lincoln-Way Central [in the regional semifinal], we gave up too many offensive boards. Tonight we did a much better job.”

PLAINFIELD – Just minutes into the Class 4A Plainfield Central Regional championship game, the Joliet West boys basketball team set the tone.

After senior guard Teyvion Kirk roofed a Romeoville player, the Tigers went on a roll. Their strong defense appeared impenetrable, and West quickly transitioned its defense into easy buckets.

The Tigers dominated throughout to earn a 72-44 victory over Romeoville, giving Joliet West its second consecutive regional title. West will face Joliet Central in the Lincoln-Way East Sectional semifinal at 7 p.m. Wednesday.

“We wanted to come out first and foremost to prove a point,” Kirk said.

“Come out with a lot of energy and set the tone early, get up big and coast the rest of the way.”

“This is more of a statement game for us,” senior guard Trevian Bell said. “To show the area that we’re not the team that everybody says that we are. This gives us a ton of momentum going into sectionals and a lot of confidence. We talked in the locker room before the game and just kind of looked at each other and said we’ve got each others’ backs. Play hard for the whole 32 minutes.”

That was accomplished.

Michael Smith tallied 11 points, while Eddie Creal had seven points and six rebounds. Tabyous Casterberry added six points and five rebounds, and Elijah Ward eight points and four rebounds. Bell had a strong night with 16 points and seven rebounds, and Kirk was the force with 21 points and 11 boards.

Whether it was finding the open man or driving to the basket, West (25-3) was able to make things happen quickly. The team follows the same

34 BOYS BASKETBALL: CLASS 4A JOLIET CENTRAL REGIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP

Joliet Central earns matchup with Joliet West

By JEFF DE GRAW

Shaw Media correspondent JOLIET – For the second year in a row, Joliet Central’s boys basketball team won a regional title, but this time it was under first-year coach Lawrence Thompson Jr. The third-seeded Steelmen defeated sixth seed Lincoln-Way East, 59-49, to win Friday’s Class 4A Joliet Central Regional.

Central (23-5) will face district rival Joliet West (25-3) at 7 p.m. Wednesday in the Lincoln-Way East Sectional semifinal.

The Steelmen came out of the gates fast as they hit four 3-pointers in the first quarter and limited the Griffins (20-11) to one field goal and held them scoreless for the last 4:45 of the quarter to take a 17-4 lead.

“We come out of the gates and shoot 3s, everyone is fresh and they all think they can make them,” Thompson said.

“Then we settle down and play. But make no mistake about it, East is a well-coached team and they came to play.”

That lead was key, because the Griffins did not quit all night. They started the second quarter scoring 13 of the first 15 points and trailed only 19-17 with 3:27 left in the half.

The Steelmen proved just as resilient as they responded to every challenge thrown at them. They scored the final eight points of the second quarter and again held East scoreless during the last 3:27 to take a 27-17 halftime lead. Jason Bingham hit three 3-pointers in the half and finished with nine points.

“The talk before the game was to come out and play free and easy,” Thompson said. “We went back to Christmas mode where it’s win or go home. These kids have been great to coach. The first day of practice I told them everyone is a guard. You have to be able to handle the ball and shoot.”

East, hoping to win its first regional title, again made a run to start the third quarter as it went the old-fashioned way in collecting three-point plays. On three consecutive possessions within a 40-second span, the Griffins converted baskets and were fouled. They converted the first two free throws and trailed only 29-27 with 6:26 left in the quarter.

But again, the Steelmen responded by outscoring the Griffins, 11-1, over the next three minutes and led, 42-32, after three quarters.

Ryan Saunders came off the bench to score two key baskets during the run and finished with five points and a big block late in the game.

“Everyone has to play their role on this team. We are not one person, we are a team, whether you start or are on the bench. This is a very special group. Jose [Grubbs] is our special glue, but this is truly a team.”

“Everyone has to play their role on this team,” Saunders said. “We are not one person, we are a team, whether you start or are on the bench. This is a very special group. Jose [Grubbs] is our special glue, but this is truly a team.”

Not surprisingly, East had one more run as it scored seven unanswered points and got to within 44-40. Sam Shafer, who ended with 18 points and nine rebounds, hit a 3 with 3:10 remaining to pull the Griffins within 46-43.

Then it was Grubbs time for the Steelmen as he scored five key points and took control of the game. The se-

nior had 17 points and collected seven rebounds with 13 of his points coming in the second half.

“This is special, hopefully this is just the start,” Grubbs said. “We had lots of fight tonight and it was key to come out of the locker room and get off to a good start on our home floor. I saw some things in the second half in the middle of their zone and took advantage of it. We practice hard every day and it’s physical, so anything in a game is not a surprise.”

JoJo McNair (10 points) threw down a huge dunk with 30 seconds left for a 12-point lead and the celebration was

on for Central, which also got seven points from Cameron Blackmon.

Zach Parduhn scored 10 points and Dorian Aluyi chipped in eight points and eight rebounds for the Griffins.

“They shot the ball exceptionally well early and knocked down some 3s and that took the wind out of our sails,” East coach Rich Kolimas said.

“It took a lot to come back and we got close but couldn’t tip the scales to our favor.

“They’re a very quick team and when they shoot it well and spread the floor, it makes it difficult. Coach Thompson has done a tremendous job with his team and he’s got them playing defense and their offense is very disciplined.

“We had a special group of seniors.

Not all of them played a significant number of minutes, but they played significant roles in the locker room and helping us to prepare for our opponents. They’re high-caliber kids who elevated us. Hopefully the bar has been set and the younger kids can try to reach it and go beyond.”

Joliet Central regional title game as good as advertised JOLIET – Of all of the regional finals in the area on Friday, I was most interested in the Class 4A Joliet Central Regional title game between Lincoln-Way East and the host Steelmen.

On a personal level, it involved two head coaches who I’ve known for many years and have the utmost respect for due to the class that they both demonstrate.

I first met up with Rich Kolimas in 2001-02 when he began his long run as Griffins coach, and I’ve known Lawrence Thompson Jr. more than twice as long, going back to when he was a young coach in Bob Basarich’s Lockport program.

And there’s no better place to witness a March Madness game than historic Steelmen Gym, which likely has hosted more postseason contests than any other high school gym in Illinois.

Also, the story lines for this regional finals were too good to pass up.

East came into the game with 20 wins, the most in its history. That included one of the biggest victories of the year in the state when it handed Bolingbrook its lone loss two weeks ago. By looking to advance to their own sectional, the Griffins hoped to capture their initial regional championship, having fallen in the finals six times, with the last in 2011.

VIEWS Curt Herron As for the Steelmen, they were trying to assure themselves of a sectional semifinals trip for the second year in a row, with the reward again being a matchup against rival Joliet West.

With his team owning a 22-5 record heading into the title game, Thompson was also destined to make some history.

By capturing a 59-49 victory over the Griffins for the regional title and posting over 20 wins in his initial season as a head coach in the Joliet Township district, he becomes just the second JT coach to accomplish that feat.

The only other person who did that was Herm Walser, who won a title in the first year of the newly named regionals, in 1936, and then took his first team to state, which laid the foundation for the district’s only boys basketball state championship the next season.

This is arguably as good a coaching job as Thompson has turned in, rivaling his three-straight sectional titles at Lockport from 2006-08, a feat no Porter coach has equaled.

While some thought that Thompson’s coaching days were over when he retired at Lockport in 2015, the best-

dressed man in the business definitely has again made it clear to the naysayers that he can still motivate kids to play the game at a high level.

But in his usual humble fashion, he deflects much of the credit to this season’s success to his predecessor, Jeff Corcoran, as well as to the close-knit group of players on his squad.

“The bottom line is that I didn’t have much to do because Jeff taught them how to play defense and they have an inward ability to hustle,” Thompson said.

“All we had to do was get used to how we wanted to run our offense. I wanted it to be continuous with options and give them freedom to do stuff. We’ve had times where we’ve lost the lead, but we’re learning and tonight was a big one. I like that the kids have a no-quit attitude and they take the coaching.”

The key was Central’s 17-4 first-quarter outburst, which featured four 3-pointers. While East fought hard to get back into it, the early deficit proved to be too much to overcome.

“We just wanted to get out with energy like we did in our last game against Oswego and get the game going and with no slowing down,” senior JoJo McNair said. “Without Jason (Bingham), Ryan (King) and Cam (Blackmon) making 3s at the beginning of the game, I don’t know how the game would have

turned out. We’re hungry for more.

We’ve got a team that’s ready to play and ready to win and we want it this year. We’re a family.”

With Jose Grubbs scoring 13 of his 17 points in the final half, the rematch with West was set.

“This was a real good win, especially on the home floor,” junior Cameron Blackmon said. “After winning the regional championship last year, we just wanted to do that again. We wanted to come out and make a big impact and keep the pressure up because we’ve come out slow in the last couple of games. We’re all like brothers and we pick each other up. Last year when we lost to West in the sectional, we all took it hard, so we want to get back at it.”

Now the Steelmen can set their sights on avenging last year’s 47-44 sectional loss as well as this year’s 51-49 setback two weeks ago to the Tigers when the rivals meet on Wednesday.

“East is a heckuva team and they kept fighting and pushing us, but during practice we prepared for that,” senior Ryan King said. “This is very exciting because it’s very rare when you get to go back-to-back to a sectional.

It all started with last year’s seniors leading and pushing us through it all.

The atmosphere is going to be great for the crosstown rivalry.”

JCA comes up short vs. Hillcrest

If you have a Job - We CAN Finance You!

By MIKE FITZGERALD

Shaw Media correspondent JOLIET – Pete Ragen had trouble expressing how much his time on Joliet Catholic Academy’s boys basketball team meant to him as he and his fellow seniors gathered outside the locker room Friday shortly after Hillcrest beat the Hilltoppers, 57-37, to claim the Class 3A JCA Regional title.

The Hawks (20-7) advance to Wednesday’s Plano Sectional, where they will meet Morris in a 7 p.m. sectional semifinal.

The Hilltoppers (13-15) trailed the favored Hawks, 27-23, at halftime thanks to the efforts of a box-and-one defense played on Hillcrest guard Marcus Garrett, a raucous student section that energized the gym, and the overall toughness of seniors such as Ragen, Donavan Finch, Jack Surin, Brendon Wills and Dexter Spencer.

“I don’t know, it was probably just our togetherness on the court,” Ragen said. “We stay together no matter what and I thought we played great in the first half.”

Finch, who scored a team-high 11 points, echoed that sentiment.

“We came in with a good game plan, and we stuck to it,” Finch said.

“We all stuck together. They got the better of us this time, but I wouldn’t want to play with any other group of guys.

“We played the same defense we played against Benet, and it worked well there. I think Brendon, Dexter and Jack did a good job of chasing Marcus [Garrett] around.”

Wills, who helped hold Garrett to four points in the first half, said the energy the Hilltoppers had to expend on the defensive end caught up with them on the offensive end.

“They’re a good team,” Wills said.

“It’s hard to run with them back and forth and stay energized the whole time. When they’re pushing the tempo, and when we pushed the tempo to get out of their trap, it takes a lot out of you.”

JCA trailed the Hawks, 33-26, with 3:56 to play in the third quarter. Hillcrest outscored the Hilltoppers, 14-4, over the rest of the third quarter and the first two minutes of the fourth quarter to take an insurmountable 47-30 lead with six minutes to play in the game.

Ragen, who finished with six points, fouled out with 2:52 to play in the fourth quarter and left to a standing ovation. JCA coach Joe Gura pulled the rest of his seniors from the game 30 seconds later, and they also

received a standing ovation.

“We knew it was our last game here no matter what, so we were ready to take it to them,” Surin said.

“The fans have been great all year.

We really owe a lot to them. Tonight was their biggest night, and all our success we owe to them. They did a great job.”

Gura summed up what the seniors meant to the program and to him as their coach.

“I think the outpouring of love for those seniors was evident,” Gura said. “Pete Ragen, Donavan Finch and Jack Surin were part of that team

that won 21 games last year. We’ve won two Christmas tournaments in a row, and, during their tenure, we’ve won three Thanksgiving tournaments. We’ve won 50 games in three years. They’re the reason. They stuck with it.

“They will be sorely missed for their character. They never gave up.

I guess the best way to sum up the careers of all those seniors is that when kids give you everything, you can’t ask for more. They gave me everything tonight and everything all year.

It’s that mentality that has raised this program to where it’s at.”

COAL CITY – For quite some time, a boys basketball regional championship was something that came around once every 15 years or so for Morris.

On Friday night, though, the Redskins won their third regional in the last eight seasons, defeating Pontiac, 41-36, to bring home coach Joe Blumberg’s third plaque in his 10 years at the Redskin helm.

It wasn’t easy, as the feisty young Pontiac team, featuring two freshmen as starters, gave the Redskins (13-15) all they could handle and then some for the first three and a half quarters.

In the end, it was the experience and balance of Morris that won out as seniors Matt Shaw (12 points), JaQuan Boxley (10, all in the second half) and Delaney Stutzki (six) helped spearhead a fourth-quarter comeback that was triggered by its defense.

“We picked up the defensive intensity in the second half,” Boxley said.

“Our defense really got our offense going. We knew if we upped the pressure a little bit, that they would have trouble handling it with some of their young guards. That’s what coach stressed at halftime.”

Pontiac, which entered the regional as the lowest seed and had recorded upset wins over Coal City and top-seeded Sandwich earlier, began the game on a 7-0 run before Morris got on the board with a short jumper by Tyler Spiezio, who finished with six points.

Morris, which plays Hillcrest on Wednesday in the Plano Sectional, then surrendered a 3-pointer by Pontiac’s Carter Dawson and trailed, 102, before Shaw hit a pair of 3-pointers to end the quarter and pull Morris to within 10-8.

The Redskins continued to get the better of things for most of the second quarter, eventually taking the lead, 11-10, on a basket by Josh Lain, who finished with five points. Shaw hit a 3-pointer to put the Redskins ahead, 14-10, before Pontiac’s Ryan Wier made a pair of free throws to make it 1412. Lain answered with a pair of free throws for a 16-12 Morris lead, but Pontiac scored the final eight points of the first half, including a 3-pointer from near half-court by Wier at the buzzer, to take a 20-16 lead into halftime.

“Pontiac got off to that quick 10-2 start, then scored the last eight points of the first half,” Blumberg said. “Other than those two runs, they had two points in the first half, so we felt it we could be a little more consistent on defense, we would be OK. We knew it wouldn’t be a pretty game. That’s just how Pontiac plays. They aren’t afraid to try anything.”

Pontiac started the second half with a basket by Wier, but Morris answered that with a 10-0 run, keyed by Boxley, who had a pair of baskets and a 3-pointer in the stretch. Stutzki also had a 3-pointer as Morris took a 26-25 lead with 2:28 to play in the third.

Pontiac then finished the quarter by getting a 3-pointer and a two-point basket by Ben Schuler to take a 30-26 lead into the fourth.

Pontiac then opened a 36-29 lead with about five minutes to play before Morris began its final push, holding the Indians scoreless the rest of the way. Stutzki started the scoring for Morris on its game-ending 12-0 run with a 3-pointer, and Spiezio followed with a putback basket with 4:25 left.

Shaw then gave Morris the lead for good with a 3-pointer at the 3:50 mark before Spiezio got another putback just 15 seconds later.

The Redskins, who put away Wednesday night’s game against Streator at the free-throw line by making 11 of 12 in the final minute, did not have the same success Friday night, missing the front end of three one-and-ones, but Pontiac was unable to take advantage.

The Indians threw the ball away one final time with 7.1 seconds left and Kameron Dransfeldt, who had not attempted a shot all game, calmly stepped to the free-throw line and made a pair with 4.1 left on the clock to seal the win.

“We wanted to do a better job on the offensive boards, and Josh Lain really helped spark us there,” Blumberg said.

“Spiezio had a huge tip-in for us late, and JaQuan and Delaney made some big perimeter shots. Then Dransfeldt, who hardly played all game, steps up and knocks down those two huge free throws.”

“It feels really good to win a regional title my senior year,” Shaw said. “That was one of our big goals this year. I love all these guys, and I am glad we get to keep playing.”

38 BOYS BASKETBALL: CLASS 4A SANDBURG REGIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP

Bolingbrook holds on to beat Pipes, Lemont

By DRAKE SKLEBA

Shaw Media correspondent ORLAND PARK – Survive and advance.

In an all-Joliet area Class 4A Sandburg Regional boys basketball championship game Friday night, underdog Lemont (16-12) was outplaying top-ranked Bolingbrook (27-1). With 7:03 left, Lemont 6-foot-8 junior Paul O’Leary’s three-point play put the Indians up, 49-48. The large Indian contingent was on its feet, sensing an ambush of the Raiders.

Bolingbrook responded, however, behind sophomore Tyler Cochran (eight points, seven rebounds) and Nebraska-bound Nana Akenten (13 points, seven rebounds) for a 52-49 lead.

The play of the game was next.

Lemont’s all-time leading scorer, Wisconsin-Green Bay-bound PJ Pipes’ layup brought the Indians within 52-51 with 5:11 to play. The Raiders turned the ball over and Pipes drove on Ak-

enten and was fouled. Akenten stepped on Pipes’ ankle with 5:01 left. Pipes missed the first of two shots and could not continue. Sophomore Jaxson Dian entered and made the second of Pipes’ two shots to tie the game at 52.

With Pipes not on the court, the Raiders went to work. Junior Kaleb Thornton (11 points, eight assists) handed an outstanding assist to 6-foot6 Malik Binns (16 points, 11 rebounds), and his corner jumper put the Raiders up 56-52 with 1:01 left.

Pipes returned but clearly was favoring his injured ankle. Thornton and sophomore Joseph Yesufu (10 points) nailed seven of eight free throws, to finish off the Indians, 63-54.

Survive and advance.

“Give credit to Lemont,” Bolingbrook coach Rob Brost said. “They are a very good team and really took it to us. We weren’t able to put them away until we were able to spread them out in the last minute.

Bolingbrook jumped to a 14-9

first-quarter lead behind Yesufu and Binns. Pipes, who came into the game with 1,243 points in his career, needing five to tie the record. He accomplished that on a 3-pointer at the end of the first quarter. On his team’s first possession of the second quarter, he scored a basket that gave him the record with 1,250.

Pipes finished with 16 points and 1,259 for his Indian career.

“We all played so hard tonight,” Pipes said. “We really wanted to beat Bolingbrook, and it really hurts that we were not able to do it.

“I have had a great career at Lemont and have fond memories that I will take with me to Green Bay. I am very proud to have the Lemont scoring record.”

In the second quarter, Binns picked up his second foul with 6:45 on the clock and sat out the rest of the half. Lemont sophomore Nate Ferguson (16 points) scored 11 second-quarter points, tying the game at 18, 21, 23, 25 and finally 27 at the break.

Pipes buried a his second 3-pointer at the 3:12 mark of the third quarter to give the Indians a 42-37 lead. Tyler Cochran scored and Akenten’s three tied the game at 42 with 58 seconds left in the quarter. An Akenten slam and a layup by Bins gave the Raiders a 48-44 lead after three quarters.

“I didn’t do anything in the first half and we all played poorly,” Binns said.

“I had to turn it up in the second half to get us this win.”

The Raiders have a Tuesday night date with West Aurora at the Class 4A Lincoln-Way East Sectional semifinal. The Blackhawks (21-8), defeated Neuqua Valley, 64-54, to win the Plainfield North Regional title.

“We really have to give credit to Lemont,” Thornton said. “They really played hard and took it to us. We played poorly in the first half and then I had to step up my game in the second half. I’m really happy we got the win and am looking forward to the sectional.”

CUBS SPRING TRAINING

By BRUCE MILES

White Sox 10, Angels 2 Starter Lucas Giolito, acquired in a big offseason trade with Washington for Adam Eaton, struck out three and gave up just one hit in three innings.

Cubs 9, Dodgers 3 Manager Joe Maddon, Anthony Rizzo, Ben Zobrist and Kyle Schwarber were among a group of Cubs that shaved their heads in the annual Respect Bald event to benefit cancer research. Kris Bryant hit a grand slam and Kyle Hendricks pitched two scoreless innings.

here, the Cubbie way and everything,” he said. “It’s one of those things I had a chance to experience. I never got called up. I was very close, Triple-A. It’s one of those things now: unfinished business. Hopefully at some point I can get on the home side.”

The 34-year-old native of Calgary will pitch for Canada in the World Baseball Classic.

He was on Canada’s gold-medal winning team at the 2011 Pan-American Games and was inducted, along with the rest of the team, into the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame.

“Being inducted was very cool,” Henderson said. “Then they repeated, winning gold again. So it’s a pretty good tradition they’ve got going.”

However it turns out, Henderson said he proved a lot to himself coming back last year.

“Yeah, that was probably one of my greatest moments, making that opening-day roster last year after surgery late in ’14, and ’15 was kind of a long struggle for me,” he said.

“Now I just want to make it from Day 1 to the last day of the season.”

All in the family: Jemile Weeks is in camp wearing the No. 8, same as his brother, Rickie Weeks Jr., who is in camp with the Tampa Bay Rays as a nonroster man.

“It was actually a number I had last year in San Diego,” Jemile said. “I believe there’s a purpose behind everything,

so if the team gave me 8, I believe there’s a reason to have 8. So I’ll run with that unless something else pops up.”

Running last year was difficult for Weeks, who appeared in only 17 games for the Padres because of a hamstring strain.

“Very frustrating,” said Weeks, who suffered a sprained ACL in game action this past week. “To leave with an injury was a very disappointing thing for me and also frustrating at the same time.

You live and you learn and you get better and you come back this year and try to put the pieces back together.”

Weeks said he speaks with his brother as often as he can.

“We’ve definitely stepped back away from the game a few times” he said. “I’ve definitely just understood the magnitude of having two kids from the same household from the same parents come out to become major-league baseball players and also first-rounders. It’s not common. It’s pretty rare.”

Speaking of family, Weeks said he felt like family when he played for Kane County Cougars in 2008.

“That was my first year in pro ball,” he said. “Smaller town, but definitely a good baseball town. I had a lot of fun. Honestly, coming through there kind of catapulted my career because we had a good team that year.”

He has finally landed: David Rollins was all over the place this winter, even as he sat at home. The 27-yearold left-handed pitcher was claimed off waivers five times in the off-season, beginning with the Cubs in November.

He was then claimed by the Rangers, Phillies, Rangers again and again by the Cubs.

“It was tough bouncing around from team to team,” he said. “It kind of takes a toll on you. I’m here now. I’m excited.”

If there was any consolation, it was that the Cubs expressed interest all along, even as they waived him a first time.

“One of the first conversations was, ‘We put you waiv-

pan. He converses in English and Spanish, and he does so quite confidently.

“I love Chicago and I love my teammates,” he said, without help of a translator. “I want play with my Chicago Cubs teammates. Baseball is very fun because I love baseball. There is no bad day.”

Kawasaki spent most of last year at Class AAA Iowa, but he did get into 14 games with the Cubs. In spring training, he is a frequent good-natured foil of Tim Buss, the strength and conditioning coordinator.

“I love Bussy,” he said. “I never understand, but he says, ‘Kawa, you are a teammate.’

Oh, thank you, Bussy.’ ” Beyond fun, manager Joe Maddon said there’s a good reason the Cubs like Kawasaki, who has logged big-league time with Seattle and Toronto.

“Math doesn’t always pick up on guys like that,” Maddon said. “I’ve always wanted people like that on my team. But beyond that, he’s a good baseN o b o d y h a s m o r e f u n : ball player.

Hopefully we’ll run into each other at some point in your career,’ ” he said. “It just so happened to be a couple weeks later.”

Rollins got into 11 games for the Seattle Mariners last year. He spent the rest of the year at Class AAA Tacoma, where he won the Dan Wilson Minor League Community Service Award. Wilson, a graduate of Barrington High School, is a former Mariners catcher.

“I just did a lot of community work with children’s hospitals,” Rollins said. “Every time there was a chance to go there, I would take advantage of it, going there and seeing kids smile for five minutes, it just makes your day better.

“I like Dan. He’s a good dude,” Rollins said. “He’s always been one of those guys you look up to. Getting that award meant something to me, just to give back to the community and getting it presented to me by him, that was probably the coolest part.”

They come to spring training with the odds against them, especially on a team as stacked as the Cubs.

Some are on the wrong side of age 30, but they come for love of the game or just one more shot at the big leagues.

They are the veteran nonroster invitees, and camps across Arizona and Florida are teeming with these guys.

When you ask what keeps them going, the response can be interesting. Some years ago, the Cubs had veteran center fielder Calvin Murray in camp as a nonroster man.

When I asked him why he was there, he suddenly grabbed my notepad and voice recorder out of my hands.

“How long have you been a reporter?” he asked, turning the question around in a friendly manner. “What would you be doing?”

Murray said he was there because he had been playing baseball for a long time, and he wasn’t ready to quit.

“It’s just like waking up and breathing,” he said.

“You don’t even think about it. If I snatched that notepad from you this time next year, you’d have to think about it for a while. That’s something that’s connected to you right there. You’ve been doing it for so long. You don’t know what you’d do without it.”

So it goes again this year.

The Cubs have several interesting nonroster players in camp. Here are a few of their stories: Back with the Cubs: Jim Henderson pitched in the Cubs’ minor-league system in 2007-08 after they took him in the Rule 5 draft from Washington.

A bout of shoulder problems derailed his Cubs career.

He wound up with the Brewers and saved 28 games in 2013.

Shoulder surgery in 2014 kept him out of the big leagues in 2015 before he bounced back to appear in 44 games with the Mets last year.

“When I was a Cub in the minor leagues, it was easy to get addicted to the culture

40 COLLEGE BASKETBALL: LOUISVILLE 71, NOTRE DAME 64

CLIPPERS 101, BULLS 91

Late Irish rally falls short

By GARY B. GRAVES The Associated Press

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Rebounding dominance helped No. 8 Louisville offset offensive inconsistency and create opportunities that ultimately got the job done against No. 19 Notre Dame.

Several Cardinals thrived at different times to earn the double-bye they sought for the Atlantic Coast Conference Tournament.

Donovan Mitchell scored 20 points, including four free throws in the final 22 seconds, and Deng Adel made a big 3-pointer to help Louisville hold off Notre Dame, 71-64, on Saturday in the regular-season finale for both teams.

Quentin Snider added 17 points, including four second-half 3-pointers that gave the Cardinals the edge in a back-and-forth game with the Fighting Irish, who trailed 64-62 with 50 seconds remaining. Adel followed with the pivotal 3-pointer 13 seconds later before Mitchell sealed Louisville’s hardearned victory at the foul line.

The Cardinals outrebounded the Fighting Irish, 44-27, to earn slim scoring margins in the paint and second-chance points. That meant a lot in a game featuring six ties and 12 lead changes.

“Down the stretch we did some really good things with the game on the defensive end,” Cardinals coach Rick Pitino said. “It was excellent defense, and offense, when the game was on the line and that is exactly what you want

to see.”

Louisville earned a three-way tie for second place with Notre Dame and Florida St. and gained the fourth seed for next weekend’s ACC Tournament in Brooklyn, New York.

Even before the bracket was known, the Cardinals at least knew they will play three games in as many days instead of a longer run to get through the bracket.

“It’s huge,” Mitchell said. “I told everybody, ‘Let’s win this game because I don’t want to play Wednesday. We didn’t want to go to the tournament especially on a two-game losing streak.

We wanted to come out and play for Thursday.”

Senior forward Mangok Mathiang came off the bench to score a career-best 18 points with 11 rebounds in his home finale as Louisville (24-7, 12-6) avoided its first losing streak this season.

“I just went out there and kept attacking the basket,” said Mathiang, who posted his fourth career double-double.

Bonzie Colson had 20 points and V.J. Beachem added 17 with eight rebounds for Notre Dame (23-8, 12-6), which had won six straight and hoped to earn at least a share of the ACC title.

“We’d still be tied for second,” Notre Dame coach Mike Brey said. “We’d just be the fifth seed. I’m going to tweet that out, ‘Still tied for second even though we’re the fifth seed.’ ”

The Associated Press CHICAGO – Reserve Jamal Crawford scored 25 points and took over down the stretch to carry the Los Angeles Clippers to a 101-91 victory over the Bulls on Saturday night.

Crawford, a former Bulls guard who won his third Sixth Man of the Year award last season, scored 10 points in a 14-7 spurt in the fourth quarter as the Clippers won for just the second time in six games.

Chris Paul added 17 points and Blake Griffin had 16 for Los Angeles, which lost in Milwaukee on Friday

and had fallen to the fifth spot in the Western Conference standings.

Jimmy Butler scored 16 points for the Bulls, who had won five of their last six games.

The Bulls closed the first quarter on a 6-0 run and then opened the second with a 6-2 spurt to go up, 35-25, on Paul Zipser’s 3-pointer.

The Bulls led by 10 points five times in the second quarter, but the Clippers took control late in the third.

Crawford’s long 3-pointer at the buzzer closed the period with an 18-5 Los Angeles run to go up, 82-73.

Los Angeles then extended its lead to 96-80 midway through the fourth.

Geneva claims 4A girls championship:

At Normal, senior center Grace Loberg scored 17 points and grabbed nine rebounds to lead Geneva past previously undefeated Edwardsville, 41-40, to capture the girls 4A championship.

Loberg had the numbers, but guard Stephanie Hart’s putback in the paint with less than two seconds left pulled out the stunning last-minute victory.

Edwardsville (32-1) was looking to become the ninth big-school girls team in 40 years of championship history to finish a season unbeaten and win it all.

But Hart and Geneva (29-4) had other ideas.

Morton wins 3A girls title: At Normal, senior forward Brandi Bisping scored 17 points and grabbed 11 rebounds to lead Morton to its third consecutive girls 3A championship, beating Rochester, 44-37.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Brian Campbell scored with 1:05 remaining to lead the Blackhawks over the Nashville Predators, 5-3, on Saturday night for their seventh straight win.

Patrick Kane scored twice, including an empty-netter after Campbell’s goal, and Jordin Tootoo and Jonathan Toews also scored for the Hawks. Corey Crawford made 32 saves.

Viktor Arvidsson scored twice and Calle Jarnkrok also had a goal for Nashville, which has lost two straight.

With time winding down in the third and the score tied at 3, Toews had the puck on the right wall in the Nashville zone. He sent a pass to Campbell in the slot, where he beat goaltender Juuse Saros with a wrist shot. Saros made 28 saves.

Kyle Busch wins Atlanta Xfinity race: At Hampton, Georgia, Kyle Busch cruised to his second straight Atlanta victory in NASCAR’s second-tier series. With a helping hand from lapped cars, the pole-winner was able to hold off fellow Cup driver Brad Keselowski by 0.606 seconds.

FRANKFORT – On Feb.16, the Kiwanis Club of Frankfort recognized two students for their outstanding accomplishments both in and out of the classroom.

Lincoln-Way East High School senior Nicole Humenik and Amanda Bauer of Hickory Creek Middle School received the Kiwanis student of month recognition award.

This award includes a certificate of achievement and scholarship money.

Humenik was recognized for her accomplishments as a student and athlete. Nicole has achieved six state championship titles as a Lincoln-Way East varsity athlete. No other Lincoln-Way student has ever achieved six team state titles according to Principal Sharon Michalak. Humenik has achieved three state team

titles with the Griffins varsity competitive cheerleading and three state team titles with the Griffins varsity track team. She is also a member of the National Honor Society and student council. Additionally, Humenik has a 3.71 grade point average and has achieved over 200 documented community service hours.

Hickory Creek Middle School eighth-grade student Amanda Bauer holds one of the highest GPAs in her class and is a member of the Hickory Creek softball and volleyball teams.

Amanda’s softball team won the state AA title this past fall and she was selected as the February athlete of the month. She is also a member of the National Junior Honor Society.

Heart attack survivors can be depressed

pressants and seeing a therapist, such as a psychologist or psychiatrist. Anti-depressants can ease the burden of the difficult feelings that have derailed the patient’s journey back to normal daily life. And in talk therapy, patients can safely explore their fears, pinpoint their anxieties, and gain an understanding of the many ways that surviving a heart attack has reshaped their lives.

If your husband isn’t interested in the one-on-one environment of a therapist’s office, then a support group is a good alternative. The chance to meet other heart patients and to hear their stories and to share his own can go a long way toward piercing the wall of isolation.

Another excellent avenue of support is something called cardiac rehabilitation.

It’s a highly structured program, usually 36 weeks long, that includes exercise, education and counseling, all done under careful medical supervision.

The cardiac rehab team typically consists not only of doctors and nurses, but also dietitians, exercise physiologists and other professionals. Participants attend classes and lectures, get important information about the medications they are taking and learn how to return to their daily lives.

Most of all, I suggest talking to your family doctor, who can help you with whichever path your husband is willing to pursue.

Dear Doctor: It has been six weeks since my husband, who is 57, had a heart attack, and I’m afraid he’s depressed. His doctors say he’s doing really well, but he’s getting more quiet and withdrawn. How can we help him?

Dear Reader: Depression following a heart attack is not uncommon. Up to onethird of people who have had a heart attack report symptoms of depression. It’s not just the body that suffers the effects of a heart attack – there can be a mental and emotional toll as well.

A person who goes through a life-changing medical event – and a heart attack certainly qualifies – often faces an emotional struggle once the initial danger is past. He or she can wind up feeling alone, frightened and fundamentally different from everyone around them. Even when surrounded by a loving family and caring friends, these feelings of isolation can be profound.

The first challenge is to recognize that something is wrong.

In addition to becoming quiet and withdrawn, symptoms of depression include anxiety, persistent feelings of sadness, problems with concentration, and a lack of interest in the people and activities that were once important. There may be changes in appetite or in eating habits, as well as changes in sleep patterns, whether insomnia or sleeping too much.

One danger posed by depression is that heart patients may not fully engage in their recovery. They may not be careful to always take their medications, and may either put off or refuse to make the lifestyle changes recommended by their doctors.

Studies have shown that individuals who are depressed may be twice as likely to have another heart attack.

The most effective treatments for post-heart attack depression are anti-de-

Friend going for new look now looks 20 years older Dear Abby: I have a friend in her mid-40s who has naturally dark hair she keeps cut short. It looked fine.

A few months ago, she bleached her hair platinum blond. She said she was going for a look that will include dark roots, but she has kept the roots platinum, so now her hair just looks white – especially in pictures. She posted photos of herself with her boyfriend on Facebook, and while I was scrolling down, my initial reaction was, “Who is that elderly woman he’s sitting with?”

A mutual friend commented to me how bad my friend’s hair looks and how aging it is. Should I mention to her that her hair color makes her look 20 years older? Telling someone her hair doesn’t look good can be hurtful, but if it were me, I’d want to know. – Helpful in Hawaii Dear Helpful: Be diplomatic, but tell

BE A GOOD

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips her. A tactful way to lead in would be to say you saw the pictures she posted on Facebook and the platinum hair makes her look “older.” However, unless she asks how much older, don’t volunteer, because if you say it’s two decades, she may take offense.

Dear Abby: What is the rule for tipping in drive-thrus? I never thought a tip was necessary in places like that. If the service is good, a tip is warranted.

Now many drive-thrus have a tip jar out on the ledge of the window.

It’s like everyone seems to think they deserve one. A tip is expected when you get your vehicle inspected,

NEIGHBOR

your tires changed, your oil changed, manicures and hairstyling, among other things. How much is appropriate to tip for services? I certainly don’t want to devalue someone’s service if times have changed and this is commonplace. – Drive-Thru Tipping Dear Drive-Thru: For restaurant servers, hairstylists and manicurists, a 15 to 20 percent tip is expected. The same is true for taxi drivers, hotel personnel and skycaps. In other situations, a tip may be offered when the service performed has been exceptional.

If the service you received at the drive-thru was prompt, your order was correct and the person at the window was pleasant and helpful, either give the workers a couple of dollars or the loose change that’s returned to you.

However, a tip is not required.

Dear Abby: A woman friend of mine

Volunteer.

is angry at me because I have started dating a mutual friend of ours. She says when someone wants to date someone’s friend, the polite thing to do is ask how the friend feels about it.

Mind you, the man I’m going out with isn’t her ex and was as good a friend to me as he was to her. If I had discussed the matter with her, what difference would it have made? She doesn’t own him. Does her logic make sense to you?

– Free Agent in Texas Dear Free Agent: No. Your “friend”

has no prior claim on the man you’re dating. That she would try to insert herself into your romantic life makes no sense, and you would be foolish to allow it.

SUNDAY HOROSCOPE

By EUGENIA LAST

Newspaper Enterprise Association TODAY – Don’t rely on others to give you good advice. Stay focused on what you want to do to improve your life. Appearances will count and are best presented with honesty and integrity. You’ll face problems if you don’t abide by the rules. Be direct and avoid delays.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – False information will lead you in the wrong direction. If you cannot verify certain claims, take a pass. Put more emphasis on personal growth and physical improvements.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Get together with old friends. Catching up on the latest news will lead to a new beginning with someone you lost touch

with. Plan a reunion.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – The past will have a way of surfacing when you least expect it.

Consider what’s occurred before you decide to get involved in something that could cause emotional turmoil.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Emotional manipulation will be costly. Don’t ruin your reputation or give out information that might be used against you. Stay focused on using physical means to bring about personal gains.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Look at a situation from every angle. Unless you have a clear picture, you are best off biding your time and waiting for your doubts to be eliminated.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Love conquers all. Whether

it’s a friend, relative or new acquaintance, taking time to help someone will result in gratifying rewards. Personal and physical improvements will turn out well.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Stick close to home and work on becoming a better person. Don’t feel that you have to please everyone else when you’re the one who needs to be satisfied with your actions.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Share details of the past and build memories with someone you think is special. Acknowledging the little things someone does for you will bring you closer together. Personal growth will be empowering.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – An investment will limit your cash flow. Don’t take on more than you can handle. Do your best to create an honest, open

and loving relationship with someone you trust.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Emotional manipulation will surface if you discuss problems with a friend or relative. Don’t feel compelled to accept someone’s terms if you don’t agree with them.

Follow your heart and make changes that suit you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Someone will use emotional manipulation to tempt you. Don’t waste time or money on anyone unwilling to meet you halfway. Plans are best shelved until you have the resources to follow through with them.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Don’t trust anyone offering you something for nothing. Put greater emphasis on personal change that will give you a trendy new look. Keep up with the times in order to make an impression.

SOUTHWEST AUTO SALVAGE WE BUY JUNK CARS LOCKPORT, IL

Jerry Gillies, an author in the area of finance, said, “Make sure you visualize what you really want, not what someone else wants for you.”

A bridge declarer wants to make his contract; the defenders wish to defeat him. This week, being successful as declarer has required visualizing both the nasty distribution and how to survive it. Here is one more example.

How should South have played in four spades? West led the diamond ace: three, nine (encouraging), two.

West continued with the diamond king and another diamond.

North’s sequence showed game-going values with exactly five spades. Here, three no-trump would have been easy, but South removed to the 5-3 fit. He was worried that a club lead might have been fatal to three no-trump.

Four spades looked like a walk in the park too, with ... apparently ... five spades, four hearts and one club readily available. Declarer ruffed the third diamond and played a spade to his ace. East’s club discard was a mortal blow that South had not visualized. The contract could no longer be made.

Just in case the spades were 5-0, or East had begun with a doubleton diamond and could overruff a low spade, declarer should have discarded a club or heart from the board at trick three. Yes, East would have taken the trick with his queen, but he would have had no winning continuation. Probably he would have shifted to a club, but South would have won with his ace, drawn trumps and claimed those 10 winners.

Try to visualize nasty distribution and how to circumnavigate it.
