New Rialto executive director named By BOB OKON

bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – VenuWorks has named an executive director for the Rialto Square Theatre. Valerie Devine, currently vice president of production at the Paramount Theatre in Aurora, will start April 3. Devine will replace Timothy Berry, who came in as interim executive director in September with VenuWorks when it was hired as the management company to operate the Rialto. She will be the first permanent executive director at the Rialto in nearly a year. The theater is on its second interim executive director since Randy Green was put on paid leave in March 2016 before eventually agreeing to resign. “I love a challenge,” Devine said. “I think this is a challenge where something good can come from the challenge.” She said the Joliet theater already is moving in a positive direction, pointing to some of the acts lined up by VenuWorks. She visited the Rialto last month to see comedian Ron White. “I think right now the Rialto and VenuWorks are off to a good start,” Devine said. In addition to booking shows for the Paramount, Devine said she also oversees RiverEdge Park, a park with an outdoor auditorium that has staged such acts as The Beach Boys and Earth, Wind and Fire. Both venues are under the Aurora Civic Center Authority, a governmental struc-

ture similar to the Will County Metropolitan Exposition and Auditorium Authority that oversees the Rialto and adjacent office buildings. Devine has been with the Paramount for 13 years, starting in the development office. Before then, she worked 12 years in sales for the St. Charles Convention and Visitors Bureau where she also organized an annual scarecrow festival. She is familiar with the Rialto, having first come to the theater many years ago. “I remember walking into that theater and just being awestruck by its beauty,” Devine said. “I want people to have that experience.” The Rialto and Paramount share a similar heritage, both being historic theaters in satellite cities outside of Chicago. Both were opened by the Rubens family, and both were designed by Rapp & Rapp Architects. The

Rialto opened in 1926, and the Paramount opened in 1931. VenuWorks Chief Operating Officer John Siehl said that Devine has the right personality and entertainment experience for the job. “The main thing is she’s got a dynamic personality and what we consider to be a perfect background for the Rialto as far as the booking side,” Siehl said. He said VenuWorks was not necessarily looking for someone from the Chicago regional market. “We were looking for the absolute best candidate, and she rose to the top right away,” he said. Devine will come in as VenuWorks begins a five-year contract April 1 as the management company for the Rialto. The company has worked on two short-term contracts since September.

COVER STORY

State wants to find out if Peotone airport could be built

By BOB OKON

bokon@shawmedia.com PEOTONE – The state is reviving the South Suburban Airport project but perhaps only to end it. The Illinois Department of Transportation next week will start what’s called a request-for-information process, seeking information that would be used to eventually develop a public-private partnership to build and operate the airport. Or not. Transportation Secretary Randy Blankenhorn said Thursday that the request-for-information process is being initiated so the state can finally make a decision whether to build an airport that has been in various stages of planning for 30 years. “Mostly, the reason we’re doing this is to bring some closure on this for the people who live there,” Blankenhorn said. “We have no idea how much interest there is in this project. This will tell us.” The process still could take 18 months to two years. But Blankenhorn said the process should determine whether there is a viable market for the airport and private companies with a serious interest in putting money into it. The debate has gone on for decades over whether the airport, which would be built in the general vicinity of Peotone, would be an economic boon or a boondoggle. The project appears to have been all but dormant in recent years. But it hasn’t been that way for the people who live in the footprint of the area mapped out for the airport and nearby. Judy Ogalla, a Will County Board member who lives in the airport area, said farmers continue to go to court facing condemnation proceedings initiated by the state several years ago. “Some of them are farmers with 100-year-old farms, but they lost those farms to an airport that isn’t even built,” Ogalla said. Ogalla said that the potential airport site is located in portions of Will, Washington and Monee townships near the village of Peotone. Ogalla said she welcomes the state’s decision to initiate the request-for-information process.

“I think it’s about time that somebody decided they’re going to make a decision on whether they’re going to build it or not,” she said. “It’s been 30 years that this site has been talked about.” Proponents of the airport may welcome the state’s decision as well. “We hope we’re going to find someone who wants to build and operate the airport,” said John Greuling, CEO for the Will County Center for Economic Development, an organization that is on the pro-airport side. Greuling agreed that a final decision will be helpful to landowners in the airport region. But he thinks it’s the right time to test the market for the airport, which has long been contemplated as a public-private partnership. He said that President Donald Trump is advocating public-private ventures as a way to rebuild infrastructure and upgrade airports. “We’ve said all along we could

Will County Forest Preserve board OKs Black Road bikeway agreement By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The Forest Preserve District of the Will County Board approved an agreement Thursday that lays a legal foundation for the connection of Hammel Woods and Rock Run Preserve, which are currently separated by Interstate 55 and the DuPage River. The intergovernmental agreement between the village of Shorewood and city of Joliet authorizes the design, construction and maintenance of a public bikeway along Black Road via trail extensions and bridges that will go over the interstate and river. Two grants the district received in recent years will pay 80 percent of the project cost with the remaining 20 percent paid with local funds. In total, the project is funded by about $2.28 million in grants with a local match of $569,700. The district is responsible for the design, construction and maintenance of all improvements associated with the project, while Joliet and Shorewood agree to permit the use of their right-ofway along Black Road. The district is in the design phase for both segments of the trail. The board also authorized a utility license to Ducere LLC that will allow a pipeline to go through a portion of the district’s property at Lockport Loop Trail Preserve.

Man dies after 3-vehicle crash near Frankfort By BRIAN STANLEY

bstanley@shawmedia.com GREEN GARDEN TOWNSHIP – A Peotone man died early Thursday after being involved in a three-car crash Wednesday near Frankfort. Charles R. Sharp, 57, was pronounced dead at 1:09 a.m. in the intensive care unit of Silver Cross Hospital in New Lenox, according to the Will County Coroner’s Office. Will County Sheriff’s Office spokeswoman Kathy Hoffmeyer said Sharp was one of three drivers involved in a collision that occurred about 1:15 p.m. Wednesday at Center and Paul-

ing roads near Frankfort. “Initial reports show a 2005 Chevrolet Malibu driven by Donna J. Dust, 68, of Beecher, was eastbound on Pauling Road, but she did not see the stop sign,” Hoffmeyer said. The Malibu proceeded into the intersection, where it was struck on the driver’s side by Sharp’s 2006 Mercury Grand Marquis. The Mercury then veered into the northbound lane and struck a 2011 Cadillac SUV head-on, according to Hoffmeyer. All three vehicles ended up in a ditch on the west side of Center Road. None of the cars had passengers. The driver of the SUV, a

66-year-old Manteno woman, was taken to Riverside Medical Center in Kankakee, where she was treated for bruising to her head, neck and back, and released, according to police reports. Dust was taken to Silver Cross Hospital and was later ticketed for disregarding a stop sign, Hoffmeyer said. According to police reports, deputies spoke with Sharp at the hospital Wednesday afternoon before he underwent surgery. The coroner’s office said medical records, toxicology results and police reports will be needed to determine the cause and manner of Sharp’s death.

Police: Joliet woman dragged deputy with car By BRIAN STANLEY

bstanley@shawmedia.com LOCKPORT TOWNSHIP – A Joliet woman was arrested Wednesday for allegedly dragging a Will County Sheriff’s deputy with her car. Marissa Seals, 19, of the 1300 block of John Street, has been charged with aggravated battery to a police officer, aggravated battery in a public place and obstructing a police officer. About 9:30 p.m. Sunday, deputies were called to a domestic dispute in Marissa the 400 block of Dellwood Seals Avenue and found Seals sitting in the driver’s seat of a red SUV, sheriff’s office spokeswoman Kathy Hoffmeyer said. Hoffmeyer said it was unclear if Seals was involved in the domestic incident. “She asked the deputies, ‘Did you arrest my homie?,’ but did not respond when a deputy asked several times for her license,” Hoffmeyer said. “Meanwhile another deputy saw open beer in

the backseat, and there was an 8-yearold boy in the passenger seat without any child restraints.” When Seals was asked to step out of the vehicle, she reportedly put the SUV in drive and sped off. “The deputy standing at the driver’s door had to jump onto the running board to avoid being hit,” Hoffmeyer said. Seals then drove onto Brassel Street at 30 to 40 mph, according to police reports. “The deputy kept telling her to stop and she kept pushing on his arm,” Hoffmeyer said. “When she turned at Oak Avenue, the deputy jumped off – suffering cuts to his hand, elbow and knee and a sore collarbone.” Seals drove away. The deputy was examined at Silver Cross Hospital in New Lenox. Hoffmeyer said Seals was identified by deputies and a warrant was obtained for her arrest. She was picked up about 12:30 a.m. Wednesday outside the home of a relative near Midland Avenue and Taylor Street in Joliet. Seals is being held in the Will County jail on $50,000 bond.

Will County moving toward purchase of downtown lot Land adjacent to future judicial complex site By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Will County continues to get the pieces in place for the new Will County Judicial Complex. On Thursday, the Will County Board’s Executive Committee voted in favor of a purchase of property at 62 W. Washington St. in downtown Joliet. The purchase is expected to be approved by the full county board next week at a cost no higher than $250,000. The lot up for purchase is south of the future site of the judicial complex and is expected to be used as a parking area for the $195 million facility. In other news, the county expressed disappointment with bid results related to a project that will upgrade the technology that runs the county’s finance and human resource system. Will County IT Director Mike Shay said that only a handful of companies showed interest in the project and none of them qualified completely.

“It’s not that many [bids] for a system we’re going to have for a long time. We need a wider selection,” Shay told the committee. Shay contacted other counties and learned that McHenry County had 14 responses for similar work. The difference between the two counties’ proposals, Shay said, was that Will County requested only on-premise solutions, while McHenry County requested cloud-based solutions. Cloud-based technology allows a company to solve problems with the system off-site. “It’s primarily a response time issue,” Shay said. “On-premise is still our preference, but cloud-based is where [the trend] is heading.” The committee approved Shay’s request to not award the project and to go back out to bid seeking cloud-based solutions as well as on-premise solutions. Shay said he needs to find “really good” language relating to response times to make sure problems are solved quickly. “You have to make sure the people doing the daily work have a high-level response time,” Shay said.

Get smoother, more youthful-looking skin with microdermabrasion SPONSORED BY

Younger and more vibrant looking skin can be just a few microdermabrasion treatments away. During the one-hour spa treatment, the skin undergoes a deep exfoliation. Kathe Malinowski, lead esthetician and marketing manager for Eterna MedSpa & Laser Vein Center, said microdermabrasion is ideal for those with sun damage, fine lines, open and closed comedones, also called pores, and coarse-textured skin. How does it work? Like any spa treatment at Eterna, the skin is first cleansed and an analysis is done, Malinowski said. Then the skin is steamed with enzymes.

The exfoliation is done using a powerful electronic vacuum which sprays high-grade micro crystals across the surface of the skin through a pressurized wand in order to slough off the damaged layers. Following that, the skin is cleansed again to make sure there are no excess crystals, and a facemask is applied. Next is an application of a serum, SPF and eye cream. Best results are seen in a series of treatments, Malinowski said. After the procedure, patients are urged to stay out of the sun for a few days and use moisturizers with plenty of SPF. There is no downtime with microdermabrasion. Instead, the thorough exfoliation leaves clients with smoother, more youthful-looking skin. For more information, Call:

SPRINGFIELD – Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner’s new deputy governor is scheduled to receive half of her pay out of an employee health care account that is more than $4 billion behind on its bills because of the state’s budget crisis, according to documents obtained by The Associated Press. The other half of Republican Leslie Munger’s $138,000 salary is slated to be taken from money used to pay Medicaid providers and prescription drug costs, according to letters from Rauner’s fiscal operations director in late February to the comptroller’s payroll department. Munger, a Joliet native and Joliet West High School graduate, was Rauner’s hand-picked choice to fill a vacancy in the comptroller’s office in 2015. She landed the position with her political ally after losing a special election. Premiums from state employees feed the group health insurance account. The other fund, administered by the

Department of Healthcare and Family Services, is money collected from overpayments because of fraud or error. It’s used to pay costs under the federal-state Medicaid program. Munger did not return a message left by the AP at her office. Catherine Kelly, spokeswoman for Rauner, noted that Munger has not yet received a paycheck in her new job. “When she is paid, it will not impact state employee health insurance payments or service providers,” Kelly said but declined to elaborate. Rauner, a conservative businessman who ran on a platform of government transparency, has a history of paying employees who work for him from accounts not affiliated with the governor’s office – a practice known as “off-shoring.” An analysis the AP conducted in August 2015 found that half of the $8 million payroll for 80 people answering to the governor was paid by agencies other than the chief executive’s office. Illinois has been slogging along without a budget since mid-2015, the nation’s longest state budget drought

Hungarian-American Nobel winner George A. Olah dies By JOHN ROGERS

The Associated Press LOS ANGELES – George A. Olah, winner of the 1994 Nobel Prize in chemistry for his groundbreaking research into the unstable carbon molecules known as carbocations, has died at age 89. Olah died Wednesday at his Beverly Hills home, according to the University of Southern California’s Loker Hydrocarbon Research Institute, of which he was founding director. No cause of death was provided. Olah’s research, conducted over decades, helped pave the way for more effective oil refining and ways of producing less polluting forms of gasoline and other fuel. It also spurred pathways to medical research. “Distinguished professor George Olah was a true legend in the field of chemistry,” USC President C. L. Max Nikias said in a statement Thursday. “His pioneering research fundamentally redefined the field’s landscape and will influence its scholarly work for generations to come.” The Hungarian government offered its condolences for Olah, who fled Hungary during a 1950s Soviet crackdown on dissent. “The country has lost a great patriot and one of the most outstanding figures of Hungarian scientific life,” said Janos Lazar, chief of staff to Prime Minister Viktor Orban. Olah received the Nobel Prize for his work on superacids, research that led to his observation of carbocations – an unstable, fleeting chemical species that he discovered how to stabilize long enough to study its properties.

He said there was no “eureka moment” and credited the find to long hours spent in his chemistry lab, usually starting before dawn and continuing late into the night. He also singled out for praise his longtime USC collaborator Surya Prakash, who began working with Olah in the 1970s as a 20-year-old grad student and now leads the Loker Hydrocarbon Research Institute. Born in Budapest on May 22, 1927, Olah said he had little interest in chemistry as a youngster. “My main interest was in the humanities, particularly history, literature, etc.,” he said in a statement published on the Nobel website. “I was (and still am) an avid reader and believe that getting attached too early to a specific field frequently shortchanges a balanced broad education.” Instead he studied Latin for eight years as well as German, French and other languages. Although a Jew, the son of a lawyer said he was fortunate to attend a Catholic school he called one of the best in Budapest. It was at the Technical University of Budapest where his interest in science piqued. After earning a doctorate in organic chemistry, he went to work for the Central Research Institute of the Hungarian Academy of Science. He was leading a research team there in 1956 when the Soviet Union cracked down on the country after the Hungarian Uprising of that year. He, his wife, their young son and most of his research team fled the country. Eventually moving to Michigan, he began research on carbocations while employed by the Dow Chemical Company.

Mother Divine, widow of religious leader Father Divine, dies in Pa. The ASSOCIATED PRESS GLADWYNE, Pa. – Mother Divine, the widow of Father Divine and leader for decades of a religious movement he founded that advocated racial equality and provided free food to thousands of people, has died. Sweet Angel Divine, her legal name, died Saturday at Woodmont, the movement’s Gladwyne headquarters, the Emil J. Ciavarelli Family Funeral Homes said in an obituary on its website. The movement doesn’t publicize birthdates, but Mother Divine was believed to have been 92 years old, The Philadelphia Inquirer said. An archivist for Father Divine’s library and

museum, Christopher Stewart, told the newspaper her death was related to old age. The church’s key activity was operating dining halls that provided free food to people. For a 2003 interview, Mother Divine left Father Divine’s chair empty at their estate in Gladwyne, pulling a chair alongside it and telling a reporter with a smile, “Father is here with us.” “Basically we have not changed,” she said. “We just don’t have the people we once had.” Musing on the demise of all eight of the mission’s cafeterias, she said, “Maybe feeding three generations of people is enough.”

STATE

The ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO – A Chicago man who used a $25 million settlement of his wrongful murder conviction lawsuit for purchases of guns, expensive cars and to rebuild his street gang is heading back to prison after a judge sentenced him to more than nine years on federal weapons charges. The Chicago Tribune reported that at a hearing Thursday, U.S. District Judge Harry Leinenweber sentenced Thaddeus Jimenez after watching a video – shot on an iPhone by his co-defendant from the front seat of

Jimenez’s Mercedes – of Jimenez calmly shooting a former gang member in his legs. Both Jimenez and Jose Roman, who was sentenced to just more Thaddeus than 7 years in prison, Jimenez had previously pleaded guilty to the weapons charges. Both still face charges in Cook County related to the 2015 shooting. Jimenez was 13 years old when he was charged as an adult in the 1993 gang-related shooting death of a

19-year-old man. He was convicted and sentenced to 45 years in prison, but in 2007, after two witnesses said that Jimenez had not fired the fatal shots as they previously claimed, prosecutors reopened the investigation and indicted another man. Jimenez was released from prison; the other man was later acquitted. Jimenez sued the city and the police department and in 2012, a federal jury awarded him $25 million, one of largest police misconduct awards in city history. Citing court documents, the Tribune reported that after Jimenez got

Police superintendent wants stricter gun sentencing

SPRINGFIELD – An Illinois Senate proposal to increase prison sentences for repeat gun offenders would help curb the city’s rampant gun violence, Chicago’s top law enforcement officer said Thursday. Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson appeared before the Senate’s Criminal Law Committee to support the measure, which would direct courts to lengthen penalties for repeat gun offenders within the existing sentencing limits of current law. Judges still could hand out lighter sentences to those charged with possessing weapons illegally, but they’d be required to publicly explain mitigating factors behind their decisions. “What we’re trying to do is create a mentality, a culture of accountability,” Johnson said. The committee endorsed the measure with a 6-5 vote, sending it to the Senate floor. Chicago recorded 767 homicides last year. Johnson said the vast majority of victims were young black men killed by guns. Johnson believes the plan will not only do more to keep violent offenders off the streets, but also discourage potential criminals from picking up guns illegally in the first place. He told lawmakers “the people that pull the triggers” are following the issue closely. “They tell me they make the decision to pull the trigger because they don’t

Chicago gets worst pension rating of 15 largest cities

CHICAGO – A Wall Street rating agency said Chicago isn’t alone in grappling with underfunded city employee pensions, but that it’s in the worst shape among the nation’s 15 largest cities. The mayor’s office had no immediate reaction to Standard & Poor’s survey of pension obligations, in which Chicago performed the worst across the board, The Chicago Sun-Times reported. The city registered the highest annual debt, pension post-employment benefits costs as a percentage of governmental expenditures, and the highest debt and pension liability per capita. The burden in Chicago is more than $12,400 a person, double New York City’s more than $6,100 a person.

Chicago also had the lowest weighted pension fund ratio, the worst pension contribution versus required level, and the lowest funded return for a single fund. That last distinction went to the Chicago Police Annuity and Benefit Fund, which had assets to cover just 25 percent of its liabilities in fiscal 2015, down from 26 percent the year prior. Chicago also had the lowest bond rating among the cities, at BBB-plus with a stable outlook. All of the other cities had a bond rating of AA-minus or better. The report said funded ratios reported in fiscal 2016 are likely to look worse for most cities, given weak market returns last year.

1st female brigadier general in guard to retire

SPRINGFIELD – The first woman to be promoted to brigadier general in the Illinois National Guard is retiring.

out of prison he bought luxury items and spent tens of thousands of dollars to rebuild Simon City Royals street gang, doling out cash bonuses to recruit new members and paying members to tattoo the gang’s insignia on their faces. Police and prosecutors have said he posted on YouTube and Facebook videos that showed he and other gang members flash gang signs, brandish weapons and threaten violence against rival gangs and police. His lawyer, Steven Greenberg, said that Jimenez suffered during his 16 years behind bars.

Alicia Tate-Nadeau made history in 2015 when she became the guard’s first woman promoted to brigadier general. The Delavan native is retiring after 32 years in the military. Tate-Nadeau joined the Reserve Officer Training Corps at Southwestern Oklahoma State University. She said the school’s dean of women encouraged her. She served in a variety of military positions around the world. She was feted at a Camp Lincoln ceremony last week. She said her most difficult task came early in the Iraq War when she served as National Guard public affairs officer. She said it was a “privilege to serve” the families and military members who served.

Lawyer plans to depose ex-House speaker Hastert

CHICAGO – A lawyer for a sexual abuse victim of Dennis Hastert said she’ll depose the former U.S. House speaker after he’s released from federal custody. Kristi Browne represents a former Yorkville High School athlete who is suing Hastert for breach of contract in the hush-money pact that led to the Illinois Republican’s downfall. Browne said Wednesday no settlement has been discussed. Her client, now a married father, argues he kept his end of the bargain to keep quiet about Hastert’s misconduct when he was the wrestling coach at the suburban Chicago high school in the 1970s. Hastert paid him $1.7 million. The man said he’s owed $3.5 million. The 75-year-old Hastert is due for parole in August. He’s serving a 15-month sentence for illegally structuring bank withdrawals to avoid reporting requirements.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The winds fueling deadly wildfires that scorched vast swathes of land in four Plains states finally dropped Thursday, bringing hope to crews trying to contain the blazes. Emergency personnel warned, however, that extremely dry conditions and hot spots could cause a flare-up, even in areas where there’s “not much left to burn.” Most of the burned land is in Kansas, where about 2,000 firefighters have been battling a series of blazes that consumed more than 1,000 square miles and damaged or destroyed dozens of structures. The firefight Thursday was focused on four counties, down from 21 on Monday.

GOP claims momentum as health bill advances By ERICA WERNER and ALAN FRAM

The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – Republican leaders drove their long-promised legislation to dismantle Barack Obama’s health care law over its first big hurdles in the House on Thursday, claiming fresh momentum despite cries of protest from right, left and center. After grueling all-night sessions, the Energy and Commerce and Ways and Means committees both approved their portions of the bill along party-line votes. The legislation, strongly supported by President Donald Trump, would eliminate the unpopular tax penalties for the uninsured under the Affordable Care Act, replacing Obama’s law with a conservative blueprint likely to cover far fewer people but – Republicans hope – increase choice. The vote in Ways and Means came before dawn, while the Energy and Commerce meeting lasted past 27 hours as exhausted lawmakers groped for coffee refills, clean shirts and showers. Angry Democrats protested that Republicans were acting in the dead of night to rip insurance coverage from poor Americans. But Republican leaders sounded increasingly confident that, after seven years of empty promises about undoing Obama’s law, they might finally be able to overcome their own deep divisions and deliver a bill to Trump to sign. “This is the closest we will ever get to repealing and replacing Obamacare,” Speaker Paul Ryan of Wisconsin said at a press briefing where he arrived in shirt-sleeves to deliver a wonky power-point presentation on the GOP bill, part TED Talk and part “Schoolhouse Rock.” “The time is here. The time is now. This is the moment. And this is the closest this will ever happen,” Ryan said.

House Energy and Commerce Committee member Rep. Tony Cardenas (left), D-Calif., and Rep. Raul Ruiz, D-Calif., pause as members of the committee argue the details of the GOP’s “Obamacare” replacement bill after working all night Thursday in Washington. Leaders are aiming for passage by the full House in the next couple of weeks, and from there the legislation would go to the Senate and, they hope, on to Trump’s desk. The president has promised to sign it, declaring over Twitter on Thursday, “We are talking to many groups and it will end in a beautiful picture!” Yet at the same time the president is leaving himself a political out, privately telling conservative leaders that if the whole effort fails, Democrats will ultimately shoulder the blame for the problems that remain. That’s according to a participant in the meeting Wednesday who spoke only on the condition of anonymity to relay the private discussion. Democrats reject that notion, and the entire GOP effort. “What we have seen is the Republicans’ long-feared and job-killing health bill that means less coverage and more cost to American people,” House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi of California said. “I don’t think the president really knows what he’s talking about.” The GOP legislation would

kill Obama’s requirement that everyone buy insurance by repealing the tax fines imposed on those who don’t. The bill would replace income-based subsidies Obama provided with tax credits based more on age, and insurers would charge higher premiums for customers who drop coverage for more than two months. The extra billions Washington has sent states to expand the federal-state Medicaid program would phase out, and spending on the entire program would be capped at per-patient limits. Around $600 billion in tax boosts that Obama’s statute imposed on wealthy Americans and others to finance his overhaul would be repealed. Insurers could charge older customers five times more than younger ones instead of the current 3-1 limit but would still be required to include children up to age 26 in family policies, and they would be barred from imposing annual or lifetime benefit caps. Democrats said the Republicans would yank health coverage from many of the 20 million people who gained it under Obama’s statute, and drive up costs for others.

Drink tax gets support, Gov. Rauner not so much

According to a recent poll, Gov. Bruce Rauner is a whole lot less popular than a one-cent-per-ounce state sales tax on sugary drinks. The poll of 800 registered voters taken Feb. 15 to 20 for the American Heart Association found that Rauner is backed by just 32 percent against an unnamed Democrat, who would receive 47 percent. But a new penny- per-ounce tax on sugary drinks actually is supported by a majority of those polled, 56 percent, compared to 41 percent who oppose it. “In the 2018 election for governor,” the Democratic pollster Anzalone Liszt Grove Research asked, “are you more likely to vote for the Democratic candidate or Republican Bruce Rauner?” 42 percent said they were more likely to vote for the unnamed Democratic candidate and another 5 percent said they leaned that direction, for a total of 47. And now you know why the governor deposited $50 million in his campaign fund late last year. Rauner’s dismal rating shouldn’t be too much of a surprise. He’s gone two years without many accomplishments and without passing, or even proposing a “real” budget. The 15-point Democratic margin is about the same margin that Hillary Clinton won Illinois by just a few months ago. The electorate may well be different by the time 2018 rolls around. Also, an actual named candidate could do worse against Rauner. You can’t beat somebody with nobody. The governor and his people have been saying for weeks that a tax on sugary drinks was only unpopular under the Statehouse dome with lobbyists and legislators. The two Senate leaders have said there is no way they can round up enough votes to include the tax hike in their grand bargain package, however. The Heart Association has been running a huge national ad campaign against sugar itself, and the issue appears to have caught fire. The penny-per-ounce tax is backed by 62 percent of Democrats, 50 percent of Republicans and 51 percent of independents, according to the pollster. It’s supported by 60 percent of Chicagoans, even though Cook County just instituted its own penny-per-ounce tax. 53 percent of suburban residents and 51 percent of Downstaters support the tax. 54 percent of whites, 54 percent of African-Americans and 71 percent of Latinos back the plan, according to the poll. And after being read both positive and negative statements about the penny-per-ounce sugary drinks tax, support actually rose to 67 percent versus 32 percent in opposition. The poll’s margin of er-

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

VIEWS

Rich Miller ror is more or less than 3.5 percent. The poll also revealed that the public may be as divided about the budget as many rank and file lawmakers. When asked whether they preferred to continue along the same budgetary path without raising taxes, 38 percent agreed, while just 44 percent said they supported “Fixing the state’s budget with tax increases as part of that fix.” 18 percent either didn’t know or refused to answer. Just 4 percent said that raising taxes without spending cuts is the right way to go, while 35 percent said they prefer cutting spending with no tax hikes and 58 percent said they favored a mix of both spending cuts and tax hikes. But not a single tax hike except the sugary drinks tax is supported, and a look at those poll results gives you a good idea why crafting and then passing a solution to this state’s horribly vexing dilemma is so darned difficult. For example, a plan to raise the state income tax from its current level of 3.75 percent to 4.99 percent is opposed by 66 percent, with 49 percent strongly opposed. Just 31 percent support that income tax hike, which is the backbone of the Senate’s grand bargain proposal. A mere 12 percent strongly support the idea. Lowering the overall sales tax rate by a half a point and expanding that tax to food and medicine is opposed by 64 percent, while only 31 percent support it. Gov. Rauner voiced opposition to this idea during his budget address, and now you can see why 43 percent were strongly opposed. Asked if they supported expanding the sales tax “to include taxing services like home repairs and landscaping,” a plan long favored by the governor, 60 percent were opposed while 37 percent supported it. 40 percent said they were strongly opposed. The most unpopular idea tested, by far, was cutting Medicaid spending by “hundreds of millions of dollars, including coverage for low income seniors and children.” A whopping 78 percent were opposed to that idea, including 65 percent who were strongly opposed. Only 19 percent were in favor.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Storm Chasers Act protects you from unscrupulous builders

To the Editor: The strong storm that passed through Ottawa and nearby communities recently is a grim reminder of nature’s destructive power. Victims soon will begin rebuilding damaged property. Sadly, it is not uncommon for unscrupulous builders to offer assistance following these types of incidents. The Illinois Insurance Association urges residents to be on the alert for scam artists posing as legitimate building contractors. Illinois’ Consumer Protection Against Storm Chasers Act protects citizens from those who would prey on them following a natural disaster. The law applies to storm-related repairs linked to insurance settlements. Contractors are prohibited from rebating or waiving the policy deductible, and cannot represent or negotiate on behalf of the homeowner in the claim process. In addition, contractors must make homeowners aware of their right to cancel the repair contract and provide the appropriate form. Property insurance helps policyholders cope with the financial burden that comes with rebuilding, repairing and replacing storm

damage. However, homeowners insurance is not designed to pay for every loss situation. This can put the homeowner in a difficult situation, especially if he or she already has signed a repair contract. The Storm Chasers Act allows homeowners to cancel the repair contract within five business days of receiving a denial letter from the insurance company. It also obligates the contractor to return the homeowner’s advance payment, less emergency repair costs. Roofing contractors also must include their name and license number on bids, contract, building permits, commercial vehicles and advertisements. In addition, Illinois roofers cannot lease their license numbers to out of state roofing contractors. Storm victims can protect themselves from scrupulous contractors by consulting with their insurance agents and adjusters. It is best to work with a familiar builder or one recommended by the insurer. Residents who believe they have been approached by someone engaging in a deceptive practice should contact the local State’s Attorney’s Office. Sincerely, Kevin J. Martin

SECTIONAL FINAL NEXT

Joliet West-Joliet Central semifinal a positive experience VIEWS Dick Goss In the aftermath of Wednesday night’s boys basketball thriller in the Class 4A Lincoln-Way East Sectional, two points demand attention. First, how Joliet West’s 64-62 victory over Joliet Central left the two teams, the Joliet Township community and the City of Joliet looking awfully good. Second, with one day to prepare for No. 1 seed Bolingbrook in the Friday night sectional championship game at East, and with Trevian Bell having suffered an ankle injury Wednesday, what are the Tigers’ chances to advance to the DeKalb Supersectional on Tuesday at Northern Illinois University? We’ll begin with the rundown of positives. After being the sophomore coach in Nick DiForti’s program at West last season, Lawrence Thompson Jr. took over the Central program. There was a question how the longtime Lockport coach would be accepted by the Steelmen (23-6). We learned early on this season it would not be an issue. Central’s main man Jose Grubbs is 6-foot-3, and he played against bigger people most of the season. That’s because, except for the occasional minutes 6-3 Ryan Saunders contributed off the bench, Grubbs was the only one taller than 6-0. The Steelmen compensated, however, with aggressiveness, athleticism and heart. After Grubbs had done everything possible to keep Central within striking distance for most of three quarters Wednesday, JoJo McNair lent a significant hand. His dunk, in traffic, midway through the third quarter has veteran local fans asking where that

It has been compared to the best slams of former Lockport all-stater Alando Tucker, who was the Big Ten Player of the Year while at Wisconsin. That’s how sweet it was. Then there’s West junior Eddie

Creal. Despite fouling out with 4:33 left, he finished with 14 points and seven rebounds, a solid game no matter how he got those numbers. However, some of his stats came off displays of athleticism you may not believe even if you saw them.

Central had an opportunity to pack it in when trailing, 50-38, after three quarters. But that wasn’t the Steelmen’s way, not Wednesday night, not all season. They were relentless.

When Cameron Blackmon hit a 3-pointer with 1:37 left that put Central on top, 60-57, it appeared the Steelmen might get over the hump against their No. 1 rival. But back came the Tigers, using their quickness to help shake the ball loose twice at crunch time and finally winning it after a Tabyous Casterberry tip-in, three big free throws from Teyvion Kirk and, of course, Bell’s decisive putback. The sellout crowd of 2,400 was into the game and was loud, but also respectful. Basketball matters here, and the crowd proved it. The officials – brothers Nick and Mark Cladis, along with Greg Matuszewski – are familiar in this area. Not only did they call an excellent game, they stepped in on a couple of occasions to make sure nothing got out of hand on the court, which could have happened in such an emotionally charged battle. The one thing we knew beforehand was somebody would move on to face coach Rob Brost’s Bolingbrook juggernaut. I’m getting asked often for a pick, so let’s give it a shot. Bolingbrook was at home and won the ballyhooed Jan. 24 meeting with West, 84-74. As noted here previously, if the Raiders win state, it will be no fluke. They are strong at every position and on the bench. They have all the ingredients of a state champion. I cannot imagine anyone having a better quartet than Nana Akenten, Malik Binns, Kaleb Thornton and Joseph Yesufu, and their teammates are talented as well. If the Raiders beat the Tigers, I feel they will win the DeKalb Supersection-

Joliet West released a statement Thursday afternoon that presale tickets for the West vs. Bolingbrook sectional championship game Friday night at Lincoln-Way East are sold out for the general public. However, West will receive 100 more tickets from Lincoln-Way East on Friday morning. They will be released for presale at 10 a.m. Community members buying tickets should enter through Door 1 at West.

al. Once in the state semifinals, they will have as much right as anyone to win it all. For West to win the sectional, Kirk and Bell, the Tigers’ two Division I players, must have big games. Creal and guard Mike Smith, who has excelled as the sixth man, will need to play well, especially defensively, and Casterberry must fight Binns on even terms in the post – never an easy task. If that happens, it could come down to which team’s pressure defense forces the other into more mistakes while also preventing the opponent’s guards from penetrating and either scoring or dishing the ball off for a layup. Bolingbrook, remember, scored 20 baskets that were either layups or putbacks in the 57-point second half of Tuesday’s 85-66 win over West Aurora. West cannot allow anything like that to happen. Bolingbrook is the deserving favorite, and the Raiders could win state if they get past West. So naturally, I have a feeling the Tigers will survive, 63-61.

LOS ANGELES – A seven-match winning streak for the No. 5 Lewis men’s volleyball team ended Wednesday night as No. 7 UCLA claimed a 25-20, 25-21, 20-25, 25-18 nonconference victory over the Flyers at Pauley Pavilion.

Lewis (15-4) had a hitting percent-

age of .202 (41-22-94), while the Bruins (12-7) connected at a .300 clip (51-21100). The Flyers, however, enjoyed a 14-6 advantage in blocks.

24 WOMEN’S BASKETBALL

Lewis optimistic about Midwest Regional By CURT HERRON

cherron@shawmedia.com ROMEOVILLE – For most of the women’s basketball teams who were on the bubble trying to secure a trip to the NCAA Division II Championship, losing in their conference tournament usually ensured that they would not earn a bid. But one of the few exceptions to that was Lewis University, which fell, 67-63, in the Great Lakes Valley Conference title game to No. 5 Drury, but because of its performance in the tournament, it moved up from ninth in the Midwest Regional rankings to a sixth seed in the regional, to ensure the program of a fifth-straight NCAA appearance. And as a result of its play in the conference tournament, coach Kristen Gillespie and her team are now feeling optimistic about their chances in the Midwest Regional, which kicks off Friday and runs through Monday in Ashland, Ohio. The Flyers (23-8) open at 11 a.m. with third-seeded Saginaw Valley State (22-7), who they beat, 8043, on Dec. 30. The Flyers also have played second-seeded Drury (28-3) and Bellarmine (22-7), who they would see in Saturday’s semifinals. And while Grand Valley State, Malone and Ursuline are in the other bracket, the host Eagles, who are top-ranked at 31-0, are big favorites to earn a trip to the 6 p.m. Monday finals. Lewis beat Ashland in 2015 to earn its lone Elite Eight trip. “We’re thrilled to be one of the last 64 teams that are still standing and now it’s do or die for every team,” Gillespie said. “I loved the way that we played this past weekend and it was pretty much our best basketball. We were great defensively and also rebounded, but we have to take care of the ball a little better. I love where we’re at since there’s some familiarity. “We played probably our best game against Saginaw, and I know that they’re much better and they have an All-American post player and a great guard. All of our focus right now is on Saginaw, but we do know how the bracket plays out. If we get past Saginaw, we’ll face one of two teams from our conference. We just want our season to last as long as it can.” Leading the way for the Flyers are Jessica Kelliher (19.9 points, 7.6 rebounds), Jamie Johnson (17.5 points), Rachel Hinders (7.5 points, 5.0 rebounds), Kayla Brewer (5.6 points) and Alyssa Siwek (5.0 points). Saginaw is led by Emily Wendling (18.6 points, 7.6 rebounds) and Katelyn Carriere (15.3 points).

BELOW: Lewis University’s Jessica Kelliher eyes the basket against Truman State’s Ashley Hartwig at Neil Carey Arena at Lewis University. Lewis is averaging 71.4 points a game, while allowing 60.3, and owns a 37.5 to 29.8 rebounding advantage. The Cardinals are outscoring opponents by a 69.4 to 63.0 margin. Beside its loss to Drury in the GLVC finals, Lewis also fell to the Panthers, 70-54, on Jan. 7. In the Flyers’ lone meeting with Bellarmine, they won, 69-57, on Jan. 19. Ashland University is the only undefeated team in NCAA D-II. It is averaging 95.7 points a game and has scored 90 or more points on 22 occasions and reached 100 points 11 times. “Against Drury, who’s a top-five team in the country, it was a one-point game with a minute to go, and I’ll take that any day,” Gillespie said. “We’re just trying to put ourselves in the best spot to be successful on Friday and if we can come out on top, we’ll have a quick turnaround, but we’ll just try to do the same thing as many times as we can. “I think it all starts for us with our defense and we’ve really had a renewed sense of focus and commitment on that

end. Everyone knows that we have two All-Americans in Jamie and Jess, but what I’ve loved is that Rachel has really come on strong, Alyssa is our best defender and had a huge weekend for us, and Gabby (Green) is finally healthy and playing well. And we have some weapons off of the bench and each person has found their niche.” After her team collected wins in nine of its last 12 games, with one loss being the close call against Drury, Gillespie is excited to see how things play out in the regional. “The outcome on Sunday has made this team even more hungry and focused,” Gillespie said. “They have a little bit of a chip on their shoulder with something to prove and they’ve kind of embraced that underdog role. We just have some great kids who care about each other. They’re unselfish and will do whatever it takes, and that’s not always easy. Whatever is best for the team they’ll do. It took us a little time to get here, but I really like where we’re at.”

ing that we played well against Saginaw the first time. We know that we’ll get their best shot since they’ve definitely improved, but we’ve improved, too, and we’re right where we need to be to make a long postseason run. “We’ve faced a lot of adversity and have grown and learned from our losses and everything that we’ve gone through. Not a lot of people can say that they were part of a team that went to the NCAA tournament every year but one that they were here. This was a nail-biter, but I’m so happy that we were able to get in, and I can’t wait to keep playing basketball.” Sophomore Jessica Kelliher followed in the footsteps of Brawner-Henley (2014, 2016) and Johnson (2015) to become the Flyers’ fourth GLVC Player of the Year in as many seasons. A year after winning the league’s Freshman of the Year honors, she finished the regular season with the league’s top scoring average. After seeing the Flyers fall in their opener in the Midwest Regional last season, Kelliher is looking forward to a more successful postseason. “I’ve been really lucky since I got the opportunity to play with Mariyah last year and Jamie a little bit last year and again this year,” Kelliher said. “Throughout the season, our team has come together. We had some rocky patches at the beginning

of the year, but right now I feel like we’re playing our best basketball, and that’s what you want going into the tournament. “The key for us is to stay persistent and keep the intensity and to try to be as consistent as possible. It’s going to be really exciting, but we’re trying to take it one game at a time. We have a really good region, and every game is going to be a battle, so we’re just going to try to go 1-0 three times. Even though we didn’t win the conference tournament, we took giant steps in the right direction, and I feel great going in, and this is exactly where we want to be.” An encouraging sign for the future is that there only are two seniors on the roster, Alyssa Siwek and Johnson, as well as two juniors. So a successful playoff run certainly will pay dividends for upcoming squads. “The future looks really bright,” Siwek said. “We have a really good bench, and we trust in every person who comes in and, no doubt, with whoever has the ball. We believe in every single one of all 14 girls, and that’s a huge thing. We’ve come together a lot and we’re all stepping up, and that’s why we played so well in the conference tournament. They’re my sisters and I really love each one of these girls. I just wish that I had more time with them.”

After travel trouble, Michigan beats Illini in Big 10 The ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON – The toughest part for some of Michigan’s basketball players was simply getting back on an airplane. Getting back out on court – wearing yellow practice jerseys in place of their missing game uniforms – was easy by comparison. Flying into town on the Detroit Pistons’ team jet only a few hours before tipoff because Michigan’s original plane slid off a runway and slammed through a fence during an aborted takeoff a day earlier, the Wolverines raced to an early double-digit lead Thursday and beat Illinois, 75-55, to reach the Big Ten tournament quarterfinals. “It was something our kids will always remember, but I want them to always remember how they responded,” Michigan coach John Beilein said. “Because this is really import-

ant. This is the way life goes sometimes, and you’ve got to respond positively to whatever comes your way. And, boy, did they.” Derrick Walton scored 19 points, and Zak Irvin added 18 for No. 8 seed Michigan (21-11), which led Illinois (18-14) by 20 points in the first half and now meets regular-season conference champion Purdue.

Michigan St. 78, Penn St. 51: Miles

Bridges and Nick Ward had 15 points and nine rebounds apiece, and the Spartans breezed past weary Penn State. The fifth-seeded Spartans (19-13) will next face No. 4 seed Minnesota in the quarterfinals Friday. Michigan State, the defending Big Ten champion, is seeking its fourth title in the past six years. After closing the regular season with losses at Illinois and Maryland, the Spartans found their groove

against a Penn State team playing for the second time in less than 24 hours. The 13th-seeded Nittany Lions (1518) fell behind for good with less than four minutes elapsed, trailed by 18 at halftime and sputtered to the finish after taking out Nebraska in overtime Wednesday.

Indiana 95, Iowa 73: James Black-

mon Jr. and the Hoosiers fired away effectively from long range, and Indiana used a huge second half to notch a 95-73 victory Thursday night. The 10th-seeded Hoosiers will next face second-seeded Wisconsin in the quarterfinals Friday night. Indiana was 3-10 in the Big Ten tournament over the previous 10 years. The Hoosiers shot a blistering 60 percent from the floor and went 12 for 20 from behind the arc – including 6 for 8 after halftime. Oh, the ball was moving all right. Around the perimeter and then to the

bottom of the net. Indiana (18-14) used the 3-pointer to turn a close game into a rout. It was 48-all before Blackmon, Devonte Green and Josh Newkirk combined to connect five times from behind the arc during a 30-11 blitz. Iowa is 18-14.

Northwestern 83, Rutgers 61: Vic Law led the way as Northwestern went on a run of 31 consecutive points in the first half of an 83-61 rout of Rutgers on Thursday in the second round of the Big Ten tournament. Law scored 10 of his 16 points during that 31-0 run that put the game out of reach and pushed sixth-seeded Northwestern into the quarterfinals where it will face third-seeded and 25th-ranked Maryland. The NCAA Tournament-bound Wildcats (2210) can only improve their seeding from here after taking care of business against the 14th-seeded Scarlet Knights (15-18).

ROMEOVILLE – In many ways, Jamie Johnson has enjoyed a career that’s been unlike almost any other athlete in any sport at Lewis University. Not only has her time as a member of the Flyers women’s basketball team extended over six seasons, but she also has the distinction of being the program’s all-time leading scorer, while earning All-American honors and being a three-time pick as AllGreat Lakes Valley Conference first team. She also won GLVC Player of the Year honors in 2014-15. After competing as a true freshman in 2011-12, she took a redshirt season the next year, which also marked the beginning of the current streak of five-straight NCAA Division II appearances, which the Flyers begin play in Friday in the Midwest Regional at Ashland, Ohio. After two standout seasons, Johnson suffered an injury six games into what was supposed to be her senior year. She applied for another redshirt, and is enjoying continued success. Johnson finished the regular season ranked third in the GLVC in scoring. One of her highlights came in the regular-season finale when she

moved past former teammate Mariyah Brawner-Henley to become the school’s all-time scoring leader. Johnson reached the 2,000-point mark in her team’s win in the GLVC quarterfinals. An extra honor came her way recently when she was selected as a CoSIDA Academic All-American D-II first-team pick for the second time in three years. After winning the award as an undergraduate in communication studies, she was honored this year for a 4.0 GPA in business administration in graduate studies. Johnson hopes that her memorable career extends beyond this weekend. For that to happen, the 23-8 Flyers will need to win three games in the regional to clinch a spot in the Elite Eight for the second time in three years. Lewis opens with Saginaw Valley State, which they beat, 8043, Dec. 30. If coach Kristen Gillespie’s team wins its opener, it will meet GLVC foes Drury or Bellarmine in the semifinals, with a potential title game against top-ranked and undefeated Ashland. “In the conference tournament, we did what we needed to do,” Johnson said. “Although we didn’t come out of it with the championship, it put us in a really good spot for the regional. It definitely gave us confidence know-

Ducks get past Blackhawks

CHICAGO – Jonathan Bernier made 43 saves for his 100th NHL win, and Anaheim Ducks cooled off the Blackhawks with a 1-0 victory on Thursday. Corey Perry scored in the second as Anaheim ended the Hawks’ seven-game winning streak despite being

NHL outshot 43-26 on the night. Corey Crawford blocked 25 shots as the Hawks lost for only the second time in their last 14. Bernier’s second shutout this season and 14th of his career helped the Ducks pull ahead of idle Edmonton for second place in the Pacific Division.

Bernier made his sixth straight start with John Gibson sidelined a lower-body injury. Perry stopped a 10-game scoring drought with his 12th goal at 17:44. He hadn’t connected since scoring twice on Feb. 9 at Buffalo.

Team says goodbye to Cutler, Jeffery

them fail, and there is nothing on Glennon’s résumé or on his 18 games worth of tape to suggest he will be the exception. He is a big man with an excellent pocket presence, cannon for an arm and impressive release. But he never has completed 60 percent or more of his passes. His career 30-touchdowns-to-15-interceptions ratio is unremarkable, and he is a poor athlete with no movement skills and a sack waiting to happen. As solid as the Bears are at guard and center, if they see Glennon as anything more than a bridge, it is essential they upgrade the tackle positions. On the upside, his comp stylistically would be Eli Manning, and better accuracy and ball security can be coached. The Quintin Demps signing honestly caught me by surprise because with Tony Jefferson, T.J. McDonald, Church and D.J. Swearinger also all available at safety, and all younger and more athletic, it never occurred to me Demps was on the Bears’ radar. The signing just feels too much like the Antrel Rolle deal. Former Steelers receiver Markus Wheaton is a really nice get if he can stay healthy. A healthy Wheaton will be a great fit in the slot between Kevin White and Cameron Meredith and is an instant and huge upgrade to the Bears’ team speed and return game. At the end of the day, I think the less than ebullient reaction we all are seeing from Bears Nation is mostly because general manager Ryan Pace, possibly unintentionally, had suggested we should expect more than a couple of guys in Glennon and Demps who have spent most of their careers as backups. But chins up Bears fans, the ceilings on Glennon and Wheaton still are fairly high, and there still are more than three months of free agency to work with and a lot more talent on the board. It could be worse, we could be looking at the Bears’ moves and saying, “No, they didn’t?”

As NFL free agency opening acts go, Thursday’s was a real “No, they didn’t?” The Houston Texans’ swap with the Cleveland Browns shipping Brock Osweiler out of town was an NBA salary-dump deal, and I never have seen anything quite like it in the NFL. The New England Patriots just don’t buy talent the way they rushed to the bank for Stephon Gilmore. For the second straight season, the Jacksonville Jaguars are on their way to winning the offseason again after snagging defensive end Calais Campbell, cornerback A.J. Bouye, safety Barry Church and left tackle Branden Albert. Last year’s remarkable haul made the Jaguars a 3-13 football team. Will they be better this year? The $25 million-plus the Chargers guaranteed offensive tackle Russell Okung and the like amount Carolina gave OT Matt Kalil are insane. And did receiver Alshon Jeffery really agree to a single year at $14 million? No, he didn’t, did he? Yep. With all of that as context, the Bears’ first day of free agency was somewhat predictable, if less than impressive. Clearly the biggest story of the day was the long expected release of Jay Cutler. What I found most interesting was that it was announced as having come at the quarterback’s request. I’m sorry, but I just don’t believe that. Once it became clear the Bears were going to sign Mike Glennon, there was no way they were bringing back Cutler. The bottom line, however, is it was time for a change for both the team and the QB. My hope is that a few years down the road, Bears fans will come to understand through the prism of history that Cutler was not the reason for the Bears’ mediocrity since his arrival. He did, however, fail to perform up to the level of a Super Bowl quarterback, which is what the Bears paid for with two No. 1 draft choices, QB Kyle Orton and a swap of third-rounders, and it just wasn’t going to get better. Hopefully, Bears fans will understand Glennon isn’t being brought in to be that guy, either. Historically, backup quarterbacks brought to new clubs to lead

Day 1 underwhelming for Bears

Bears get help at safety, need WRs By KEVIN FISHBAIN

kfishbain@profootballweekly.com Alshon Jeffery’s career with the Bears is over, and the 2012 second-round pick is betting on himself, signing a one-year deal worth $14 million with the Eagles. Jeffery will enter his third consecutive contract year. Soft-tissue injuries in 2015 limited him to nine games, and he played under the franchise tag in 2016, when he was suspended four games for a PED violation. Jeffery leaves the Bears ranked third in franchise history with 4,549 receiving yards in five seasons. He had only two touchdown catches in 2016 and clearly couldn’t find what he was seeking on the open market in terms of a long-term deal. NFL Network reported that the Vikings offered Jeffery a multiyear contract, and the receiver turned it down. In Philadelphia, Jeffery will be the Eagles’ No. 1 receiver for second-year QB Carson Wentz, and he reunites with Mike Groh, who was the Bears’ receivers coach from 2013-15. Jeffery should be a good complement for the other Eagles addition at wideout, the speedy Torrey Smith. The Bears now have a major need

to fill at the receiver position. Eddie Royal is expected to be released when healthy, according to the Chicago Tribune, leaving new quarterback Mike Glennon with Kevin White, Cameron Meredith, Josh Bellamy, Rueben Randle and Daniel Braverman. Safety help: The Bears added a veteran safety for the second time in three offseasons, agreeing to terms on a three-year deal with Quintin Demps averaging $4.5 million a year, according to Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle. The $13.5 million contract nets Demps $5 million in his first year, according to ESPN’s Adam Caplan. Demps, who turns 32 in June, played in and started 13 games for the Texans last season and had six interceptions to go with nine passes defensed and 55 tackles. In 14 games (13 starts) in 2015, Demps had six passes defensed and a pick. In 2014, Demps played in all 16 games with nine starts for the Giants and had four interceptions. He picked off four passes as a member of the Chiefs in 2013. The Bears will be Demps’ fifth team in his NFL career, which began with the Eagles in 2008 as a fourth-round pick out of UTEP.

A THERAPEUTIC PASSION

Joe Garbin cooks for the love of cooking

Joe Garbin’s Chicken Marsala with Crispy Prosciutto

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

JOLIET – Joe Garbin cooks because he likes to give back. Seriously. Garbin, owner of Garbin Insurance Agency in Joliet, cooks for friends and he cooks for friends’ events for the cost of the ingredients. A fun night for Garbin is whipping up saganaki, Greek pork and Greek chicken or shrimp scampi and seared scallops, while his companions “sit at the counter and watch me.” He’s always wanted to participate in “Men Who Cook,” the annual tasting benefit for the Will County Children’s Advocacy Center in Joliet, but Garbin’s schedule never allowed it. Until this year. Garbin will prepare Mediterranean pork tenderloin with home pita wedge and tzatziki sauce for the ninth annual event on March 25 in Mokena. But Garbin’s main culinary focus is “old-school Italian cooking,” which he learned from his now-deceased grandmother Carmela Garbin, who came from Sicily. “I probably started cooking in the kitchen with her when I was 8 or 9,” Garbin said, “by the time I was 12, 13, I took it all over from her for the holidays.” At 11, Garbin was cooking at the former Shorewood Inn; by 13, he was working at the former Sirloiner Pub in Joliet and then back to Shorewood Inn two years later, Garbin said. Garbin said he earned an associate degree in culinary arts from Joliet Junior College and a bachelor’s degree in hotel and restaurant management from Lewis University in Romeoville. Garbin then helped open up several area restaurants, including the former TNT Restaurant in Joliet. By age 23, Garbin was done cooking professionally, by choice. He had married Debbie Garbin and wanted work hours conducive to family life. His father Angelo Garbin, now deceased, encouraged him to join him in the insurance field. So Garbin did. Garbin’s mother, Rita Garbin, still works for the

company, Garbin said. But Garbin always remembers to give back as per the advice of his grandfather Beno Garbin (deceased), who never turned down the chance to help someone, Garbin said. And Garbin never stopped cook-

ing. And he probably never will. “This is a passion and very therapeutic for me,” Garbin said.

“I call this a one-pan recipe.” Start to finish: 90 minutes Servings: 3 to 4, depending on the size of the breasts 3 chicken breasts, split in half, and lightly pounded (This not only tenderizes them, but makes them cook more evenly). 2 pints mushrooms (I used portobello, crimini and button, sliced) 1 cup dry Marsala wine 1 cup chicken broth 1 tablespoon fresh garlic Salt and pepper to taste Seasoned flour mix: 2 cups of flour, 2 tablespoons salt, 1 tablespoon pepper 1/4 cup olive oil 1/4 cup butter 6 pieces of prosciutto (optional) Lightly pound the chicken between two pieces of plastic wrap or in a zip lock bag. Dredge them in seasoned flour mix. Slice the pieces of prosciutto in strips and fry them until they are crisp in a skillet, then set aside for later. In this same heavy skillet, heat olive oil and butter together until butter starts to sizzle. Place chicken breast in the pan and brown on each side, approximately two minutes a side, until they are about threefourths cooked. Remove chicken from pan, set aside. While oil and butter still is hot, add garlic to the pan and saute the garlic until tender, but not browned. Add mushrooms and saute. Keep pat hot to caramelize the mushrooms. Once mushrooms are tender, dust them (in the skillet) with 1/4 cup of flour. Then cook the mushrooms, garlic and flour for about five minutes, stirring constantly. This removes the taste of the flour. At this point, add chicken broth and Marsala wine, stirring to prevent clumps. Check seasoning and add salt and pepper to taste. Once this mixture has reduced to desired consistency, add chicken and its juices. Simmer for five minutes. Note: If sauce is too thick, add a little chicken broth. If it is too thin, reduce a little more before adding chicken back to the pan. Serve with pasta of choice or roasted potatoes. Top chicken with optional crispy prosciutto.

Coconut oil may be good alternative Dear Doctor: I’m 75, healthy, and want to stay that way – despite a bad family history regarding hearts and arteries. I have taken 10 milligrams of Lipitor daily for several years, but am wondering if I should try coconut oil to lower my cholesterol? Dear Reader: Coconut oil is very high in saturated fat, with 12 grams per tablespoon. Compare that to olive oil, which has 1.9 grams of saturated fat per tablespoon. Both have 14 grams of total fat, but almost all of olive oil’s is monounsaturated, widely considered to be better for the heart and cardiovascular system. Saturated fats in meats and dairy products, on the other hand, have been shown to increase LDL cholesterol, the so-called “bad” cholesterol linked to coronary artery disease. For someone with a family history of vascular disease, we really have no good data on coconut oil’s ability to reduce the risk of heart disease and strokes. We do have observational data from societies that have lower heart disease rates and include coconuts as a significant percentage of their diet. But they’re consuming the coconut, not just the oil of the coconut. One factor to consider: The meat of the coconut has a considerable amount of fiber. This fiber is not found in the oil, and it may be the fiber that confers the greatest benefit from coconut consumption. Also, the diet and lifestyle of societies that consume large amounts of coconut cannot be translated well to our Western diets and lifestyle, meaning they probably are healthier in many respects. One aspect of coconut oil that we can assess is how it might affect cholesterol levels. As I noted earlier, coconut oil is high in saturated fat. But the majority of the saturated fat is in the form of lauric acid; the majority of the saturated fat in animal fat is palmitic acid. Lauric acid is absorbed

SUDOKU

ASK THE DOCTORS Robert Ashley differently than palmitic acid, which could suggest that coconut oil doesn’t cause the same degree of LDL elevation as animal fat. But that would appear to be wishful thinking. A study published in the journal Nutrition Reviews in 2016 analyzed multiple studies and found no difference in the LDL cholesterol level between people who used coconut oil and people who used butter. It does appear, however, that consumption of coconut oil was linked to lower triglyceride levels as compared to beef fat. That said, the cholesterol profiles found among consumers of coconut oil are much worse than those found among people who consume olive oil, canola oil, or even corn, safflower and palm oil. I believe you should look at coconut oil as a saturated fat. The current recommendation is that these fats should make up only 10 percent of your diet. You could use coconut oil as a replacement to the fat from meat or dairy. However, if you have a family history of heart disease, I would use olive and canola oils in recipes and when cooking; these oils have shown beneficial effects in regards to cholesterol. In addition, if you have risk factors for heart disease, there is a significant benefit in staying on the statin you are taking. I would not stop that in lieu of adding coconut oil to your diet.

and living together for five, you still haven’t met his family, he has no intention of introducing you – ever. Your inability to give his mother grandchildren has nothing to do with it. You are a human being, not a broodmare, and the excuse he’s giving you makes no sense. Picture this scenario: “Hey, Ma, this is ‘Becky’ and she’s fertile!” Puh-leeze! Dear Abby: My sister, who is very religious, sent my gay daughter a Bible with her name engraved on it for Christmas, even though we told her – after she asked for suggestions – that a gift card would be more appropriate. We are not religious, by the way. My wife and I feel strange about it, as if my sister is trying to tell us something like, “Your gay daughter needs religion.” How should we respond to this? – Baffled in the East Dear Baffled: You do not have to respond. The Bible was a gift for your daughter, and the “privilege” of acknowledging it, ignoring it or regifting it is hers. What I do not recommend is allowing your sister’s gift choice to become an argument about your family’s values. Dear Abby: I’ve recently rekindled an old romance with a wonderful guy. Only one thing mars our relationship. When we go out to eat, we don’t carry on a conversation past occasional chitchat. The problem may be that while he’s a speedy eater, I’m slow. I feel bad about not being able to talk and chew fast enough to keep up, so he finishes well before me and ends up waiting quite a while until I polish off my meal. Can you offer any suggestions on how to come to a compromise where dinner isn’t a race to the finish line, but an experience full of laughter and discussion? – Slower in California Dear Slower: Yes, but it may involve making the meal even longer. If there’s a topic you would like to explore with him, put down your fork, swallow your food and speak up. In Europe it’s common for people to linger over their meal and communicate with each other. This practice not only fosters deeper relationships, but there are also health benefits to eating slowly. Because you’re a couple, you should feel comfortable enough to ask him to slow down so your conversation can flow more easily.

DEAR ABBY I’m 51 and my boyfriend is Jeanne 43. We’ve been Phillips dating for eight months, living together for five. We met at work a few months before we started dating. We get along great and never argue, but he won’t let me meet his family. He has never been married and has no children. He sees his mom and brother sometimes for dinner and such, but because his mom doesn’t have any grandchildren and I can’t give her any, he said he’s not ready to tell her about me. Does this make sense? – Outsider in

SATURDAY HOROSCOPE By EUGENIA LAST

Newspaper Enterprise Association TODAY – Don’t feel the need to let everyone know what you are up to. The element of surprise will work wonders when you are trying to make a statement or accomplish your goals. Keep your personal thoughts and matters secret, and use your strength and courage to excel. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Don’t let uncertainty lead to impulse. You must stabilize a situation before you can turn it into something workable. Trust in your wisdom and intuition to help you make the best decision. ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Keep your personal life and business affairs secret. Emotional issues will infiltrate your professional life if you are too

transparent. Listen, observe and avoid gossip. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – You’ll be interested in the things a loved one or child enjoys doing. Your participation will bring you closer together. If you share your feelings, you’ll resolve anything that’s been bothering you. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Emotional situations will develop if someone isn’t being honest. You are best off questioning rather than assuming and offering facts instead of being evasive. Relationships will require work and understanding. CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Someone will confuse you by sending mixed signals. When in doubt, be blunt and find out exactly where you stand. A cultural event or retreat will be enlightening. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Don’t feel the need to

share money matters with others or divulge information that might leave you in a vulnerable position. Uncertainty will kick in if you act impulsively. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Share your ideas and emotions, and make suggestions that will help solve problems involving older family members or badly managed situations. Honesty is your best policy. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Problems concerning a friend, relative or legal matter will surface. Don’t share your feelings regarding issues that could end up hurting your reputation or bank account. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Keep your emotions in check when mulling over work-related matters. It’s best not to get upset. Look for a

workable solution and present it in an innovative way if you want to excel. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Offering frank opinions and straightforward answers will help you avoid misinterpretation. Emotional manipulation will be viewed harshly. Stick to the truth and avoid conflict and accusations of meddling. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Do your own thing and be accountable for the choices you make. Avoid anyone trying to take advantage of your position or connections. Protect what you’ve acquired. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Don’t hesitate to stop someone from prying into your personal affairs. Do what you can to help others, but not at the expense of your reputation or bank account.

Sun Tzu is believed to have lived from 544 to 496 B.C. In some areas, his “The Art of War” still influences competitive endeavors, including business, culture, politics and sports, as well as warfare. Sun Tzu said, “A military operation involves deception. Even though you are competent, appear to be incompetent. Though effective, appear to be ineffective.” This deal was used in yesterday’s column. Then, South made six spades after taking a safety play in trumps by running dummy’s four. Can you see any way for a defender to influence declarer to his detriment? In the auction, North’s four diamonds was a splinter bid. It showed four-plus spades, at least game-going values and a singleton (or void) in diamonds. Then South, confident that his partner had to have strength in clubs, used 14-30 Roman Key Card Blackwood. He learned that his partner had one key card (an ace or the spade king), then slightly optimistically jumped to six spades. West, who disliked leading from a jack, chose the club seven to dummy’s king. What might have happened next? Here was East’s chance to deceive declarer. If he had smoothly played the club queen under dummy’s king, what would South have thought? Surely he would have assumed it was a singleton; and if it were, next running the spade four would have been risky. If West could have taken that trick with a singleton honor, he could then have given his partner a club ruff. So declarer was highly likely to play a spade to his ace and go down.
