Joliet council candidate faces accusations at public meeting

By BOB OKON

bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Two City Council members running for re-election on April 4 criticized one of their opponents Tuesday in an episode that at least bordered on politicking at a council meeting.

Their remarks followed a statement made by the leader of one of the city’s police unions accusing Rachel Ventura, who is not on the council now and is not among the candidates endorsed by the union, of endangering police with a campaign mailing sent to their homes.

Michael DeVito, president of the patrol offices union, called for an investigation into how Ventura obtained a list of police officers’ home addresses.

“I would ask Ms. Ventura to come forward and apologize for endangering the lives of our police officers and their families,” DeVito said.

Ventura, who was at the meeting to speak on another matter, did explain once she was allowed to speak.

But first, Mayor Bob O’Dekirk announced that the city’s inspector gener-

al and police chief are looking into the matter.

Councilwoman Jan Quillman, who is running for re-election, then said that as the wife of a retired Joliet police officer she agreed that the list was inappropriate and added that she has never had such a list.

Once Ventura spoke, however, she said that she obtained the addresses herself by looking at public records, including those posted on the city’s website listing the names of Joliet police officers along with county clerk rolls listing the addresses of voters in city elections.

“I then compared the names on the voter records to the names of our police officers,” Ventura told the council. She noted that there were about 70 police officers whose names she could not find, perhaps because they did not live in the city.

Ventura later told The Herald-News that she put together the mailing to respond to what she said were false statements made about her at a police union meeting.

“It was rumor squashing,” she said.

Ventura’s explanation during the meeting did not satisfy Councilwoman Brooke Hernandez Brewer, also running for re-election and the wife of a county deputy.

“Even putting together a list like that endangers the lives of our police officers,” Brewer told Ventura.

“How does it endanger anyone?” Ventura responded. “On the outside of the envelope it just had their name on it like it would any other resident.”

Both Brewer and Quillman have been endorsed by the city’s police unions, which have also endorsed Councilman Michael Turk. Turk was at the meeting, too, but did not comment on the matter.

Neither did any other council member.

Only Brewer, Quillman and Turk, the three at-large council members, are running for re-election. Twelve other candidates are in the race.

DeVito after the meeting said he came forward in response to concerns brought to him by union members.

Ventura after the meeting met with the inspector general and police chief at the mayor’s request.

Since the closure, drivers have been using an alternate route to cross the Des Plaines River, and have been advised to expect delays and allow extra time for trips through the area.

A small, silver sedan parked nearby and an older white man with short gray hair got out, approached the girl and grabbed her around the waist, police said.

“The man then attempted to pull her into the car. The victim was able to break free and run home,” police stated in a news release.

The silver car had several large rust spots on the trunk. The victim told police that the driver had been at the bus stop once before and offered her a ride.

Anyone with information is asked to call the sheriff’s office investigation division at 815727-8574 or call the nonemergency number after business hours at 815-727-8575.

LOCAL BRIEFS Brandon Road bridge reopens

JOLIET – The Brandon Road bridge has reopened in Joliet, the Illinois Department of Transportation announced in a news release Tuesday.

The bridge has been closed for repairs since December. It was initially slated to open in late January, but the opening was later extended to Monday because of a delay in equipment.

The specialized equipment the department ordered had to be fabricated.

The problem with the bridge concerned the center lock, which is the mechanism that locks the two halves of the drawbridge together.

Trolley Barn will be repurposed with restaurants, brewery

By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – One of the largest buildings in downtown Plainfield has been undergoing a transformation the past couple of years.

The Trolley Barn, which opened in 1903, is being converted into The Sanctuary, an urban market by the Minor Threat Restaurant Group, which runs Sovereign across the street and Crusade Burger Bar in Yorkville.

The success of those two places has brought the ownership and management group – Dale Lewis, Rafael Gomez and Jessica Gomez – to a point where they are seeking other artisans to help fill the 12,600-square-foot space along with their own concepts.

“I’ve been chasing this building for years,” Lewis said, standing near the front of the structure, now featuring top-to-bottom windows. “Since 2010, I first started trying to get this building.

The guy who owned it originally wanted a lot of money for it.”

Because of the condition of the building, it was too much of a risk for Lewis’ investment group to take a chance on.

“So I abandoned my plan, which was going to be a craft brewery, at that time,” he said.

But Paul Wojcieszak, the current owner, caught the previous owner at an opportune time – when he was willing to come down in price. Wojcieszak, president of Sheffield Safety and Loss Control, made significant improvements to the building, and a portion of it is home to his business.

But Wojcieszak was left with a giant space to rent out. In August 2015, he said he was considering high-end retail tenants. Lewis and Minor Threat had something else in mind.

“When I found out Paul [Wojcieszak] bought it and was trying to find tenants for it, it kind of solved my problem of absorbing the risk of the building [conditions],” he said.

The Sanctuary is planned to open in November or December. It will feature three new Minor Threat creations.

At the front of the building to the right will be Swamp Lilly, an elevated Southern dining experience. In the summer, there will be 30 outdoor seats that go with it.

Also on the right side of the building will be Sugar Skull, a Mexico City

At the rear of the building will be Devout Brewing, a small craft brewery that will turn out about 5,000 barrels of beer a year. Lewis noted the brewery is scaled back quite a bit from the original plan of opening a brewpub, but it will have an outdoor deck area.

There are three tenant spaces the group is looking to fill with fellow artisanal brands. They’ve interviewed some people already, but nothing has stood out as a perfect fit. They’re looking for bakers, butchers or coffee makers.

Down the left side of the barn will be a banquet facility that the group will manage. It will host 150 to 200 people per gathering, which could include receptions and business meetings.

To the left of the building on the outside is a patio with fire pits.

The project is inspired by The

Minor Threat Restaurant Group Source, an artisan food market in an 1880s brick foundry building in Denver.

The new restaurants will stick to what Minor Threat is known for – quality ingredients with no freezer or microwave in the building.

The members of Minor Threat do what makes them happy, and extend the same offer to their staff.

“Most of the people that work for us, we allow them to create,” Rafael said.

“We’re all involved and discuss things, but we give a lot of freedom to employees. We have employees that design

cocktails and chefs design all the food.

We have input, but we want them to be happy creatively.”

Being in the restaurant industry for years, they know the stories of business partnerships going bad – and those stories include some of their own.

But they say a business partnership is a lot like marriage. They needed to feel that they could all get along personally and professionally for the rest of their lives.

“I couldn’t do all this alone – run two restaurants – by myself. No way.

But together, we can do some really cool things and feed our kids, man.

Live the American dream,” Lewis said.

Minor Threat said the village has been very proactive in moving the project forward, because leadership wants to see the building repurposed the right way.

LOCAL NEWS Park District candidates Parents allege coach discuss future, facilities treats players negatively Have a news tip?

Contact Jon Styf at 815-280-4119 or jstyf@shawmedia.com

By BOB OKON

bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – There will be changes on the board at the Joliet Park District on April 4 with only one incumbent in the election for four seats.

Six candidates are running for three four-year terms on the board. Two candidates are running for one two-year term.

The park district itself has been in a period of change, making park improvements with money from a $19.5 million bond referendum approved in 2014 and recovering from a shakeup at the top when former Executive Director Dominic Egizio was forced out in October 2015 amid a sexual harassment lawsuit.

Candidates for four-year terms

One issue that candidates have focused on is the future of an East Side community center planned for Nowell Park.

“To this day there’s still nothing there,” said David Talarico, a Troy District 30-C school board member who said his eight years on that board give him experience that will be valuable on the Joliet park board. “Before the year is over I want to see shovels in the ground at Nowell Park.”

Other candidates share the sentiment.

Incumbent Sue Gulas, who is completing her first term and became board president after the death of Glen Marcum in November, said planning for the Nowell Park project is close to being completed.

The project was delayed, she said, “because due diligence was not done by our previous executive director,” and the park district only recently completed federally required preparatory work required to assure that the site is not in a flood plain.

Gulas said her primary reason for running for re-election is to see projects through to completion.

Jim Patnoudes, an employee of the Forest Preserve District of Will County, said the park district “can do better on the East Side and the far West Side. There are projects in the works though.”

“My big focus,” Patnoudes said, “is seeing that projects and promises made to the East Side community get fulfilled.”

Joe Clement, a detective with the Joliet Police Department, wants to revive a past practice of hiring Joliet police

to patrol the parks at certain times to increase safety.

“I really want to bring back the park police,” Clement said. “We did this 20 years ago. It was very beneficial. I think it’s going to be one more layer of safety at the park district.”

One issue facing the park district in coming years is maintenance of aging buildings, said Bill Tatro, a past park board president who was on the board from 1997 to 2009.

“We really need to take care of the aging infrastructure we have,” Tatro said. “We have a lot of parks that bring in no revenue whatsoever, but we have to take care of them. We have buildings that are 35 to 40 years old, and we have to take care of them so they last another 35 or 40 years.”

Kevin Paul, a sales representative who also tends bar at the Traditions restaurant inside the park district’s Inwood Athletic Complex, said continued maintenance is a top priority for the future.

“The biggest challenge the Park District faces is creating revenue to fix existing facilities, build new facilities, expand programming, and continue updating our parks,” Paul stated in a Herald-News election questionnaire.

The two-year term

Two candidates with familiar names square off in the contest for the vacancy created by Marcum’s death.

Marcum’s widow, Patricia Marcum, and Matt McGuire, son of recently retired Will County circuit clerk Pam McGuire, are the two candidates.

Both say that the park district must continue to prepare for the future.

“I think they need to continue with a long-term plan that is going to meet the needs of the residents because the park district is growing by leaps and bounds,” Marcum said.

McGuire said the park district is already losing revenue because it cannot accommodate residents.

“We have one sheet of ice [at the Inwood ice arena], and that’s inadequate for the amount of teams we have,” McGuire said. “They have to go out of town and use other facilities.”

McGuire, a Joliet firefighter, worked for the park district for 15 years before December, when he resigned his part-time position as assistant manager at the Inwood Golf Course to run for park board.

fsarver@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – Several parents allege the Plainfield South High School boys basketball coach has treated their sons harshly and want him removed from his position.

A group of parents, during public comment at Monday’s Plainfield District 202 school board meeting, raised allegations against Tim Boe, varsity head coach for the Plainfield South boys’ basketball team, although they did not name him.

Board President Michelle Smith asked before public comment that, if staff or students were being spoken about, they not be named.

A mother of one of the players said the group of parents were in agreement that Boe should not continue as basketball coach, alleging he has created a “negative culture based on his punishment of the players.”

She said basketball players are kicked out of practice routinely or kicked off the team. She also said communication is poor because they are benched with no explanation.

“Our sons feel that he’s playing mind games with them and describing the environment [as] toxic, miserable and stressful, just to name a few,” she said.

The parents said they’ve been in contact with building and district

“Know that we are listening and we take all of those allegations seriously.”

Michelle Smith

Plainfield District 202 school board president administrators about the coach and shared their concerns either in person or by email.

Smith told the parents that the board members received their emails and take the allegations seriously. She said the situation is being investigated but she can’t guarantee the outcome will be what the parents want.

“Know that we are listening and we take all of those allegations seriously,” Smith said.

In response to questions about the complaints, District 202 spokesman Tom Hernandez said the district does not comment on personnel matters.

An email sent to Boe was not immediately returned Tuesday.

The parents said they’re circulating a petition, signed by parents of players who’ve played either varsity or junior varsity sports, regarding their feelings about how their sons have been treated.

D-202 approves notice of dismissing 88 staff members

By FELIX SARVER

fsarver@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – The Plainfield District 202 school board unanimously approved Monday giving 88 certified staff – including teachers – notice of dismissal.

Of the staff who were approved for dismissal, 82 include regular and special education teachers, along with six certified nonclassroom positions, such as social workers, Tom Hernandez, District 202 spokesman, stated in an email.

The district has 3,049 regular fulland part-time staff members, of which 1,886 are represented by the teachers union, and 27,594 students, according

to the district.

Hernandez stated district officials will hire many of the teachers back in the late summer, when they have a better idea of enrollment needs or funding, such as grants.

“Often, you will see waves of releases through the spring,” he stated.

“State law gives specific required time frames for releasing staff. In our case, this year this should be the only release.”

He stated the district routinely releases nontenured teachers, teachers who were hired later in the school year, part-time teachers, teachers hired for limited contracts and teachers hired through federal or state grants.

Chapman faces challenge in former appointee Kirkland

By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com SHOREWOOD – Shorewood Village President Rick Chapman has a challenger standing in the way of his fifth term in office.

Trustee Barbara “Cookie” Kirkland, whom he appointed in 2014 to fill a board vacancy, is running against him in the April 4 election. She was previously a trustee from 1997 to 2003. But upon returning to the board, she didn’t like everything she saw.

“I saw that some things changed, some things were the same and some things we could improve on,” Kirkland said. “Then, I was elected two years ago. I made some suggestions for some changes – to the village president position – and they fell on deaf ears.”

If elected, she said, she wants to improve transparency, professionalism and accountability in the village president’s office. She is promising quarterly town hall meetings and activity reports that chronicle how she would spend her time on village-related matters.

In a Herald-News election questionnaire, Chapman stated he has always been transparent to the public and had a balanced budget while never reducing services.

“On the contrary, I have continuously expanded them,” Chapman stated.

Additionally, he has led the village through 700 percent of its growth and has dedicated his entire adult life to serving the community as a volunteer firefighter, Lions Club member, village trustee and president, he stated.

“I have a unique viewpoint because I have been involved in more than 15,000 new residents and over 100 new businesses that chose Shorewood as their home,” Chapman stated in the questionnaire.

He lists the village’s No. 1 challenge as replacing its diminishing water supply.

“I have identified the funding and

Police: Man pulled fire alarm at Shorewood nightspot

By BRIAN STANLEY

bstanley@shawmedia.com SHOREWOOD – A Frankfort man faces a felony charge after allegedly setting off a fire alarm in a crowded nightclub earlier this month.

Curt S. Wdowikowski, 25, was arrested Thursday by Will County Sheriff’s Office deputies after Shorewood police obtained an arrest warrant for the March Curt S. 12 incident at Skooters Wdowikowski Roadhouse, 700 W. Jefferson St. Shorewood Deputy Chief Jason Barten said police officers were at the club early that morning when the alarm

went off.

“Dispatch was able to tell them where the alarm had been pulled from and there was no fire there. The club was fairly full and they’d already started evacuating and the fire department was on the way,” Barten said.

Police and staff reviewed video surveillance to identify a group that “had a problem with the owners and been asked to leave beforehand,” Barten said.

Officers spoke with some of that group in the parking lot and were able to identify Wdowikowski.

Wdowikowski, of the 22500 block of South Center Road, was charged with making a false fire alarm, a felony that carries a prison term of one to three years. He was released from the Will County Jail after posting $20,000 bond.

have begun the process of getting the right of way for a lake water pipeline coming to Shorewood,” he stated. “I have already begun to put funds into a line item to help support the expenses that we must incur due to this necessary significant project.”

Kirkland, meanwhile, stated it’s important to note that “Shorewood did not become the wonderful community it is today without the hard work and dedication of many individuals throughout the years. It did not happen on the back of any one person, but rather through

successful teamwork. As a board, we both succeed and/or fail as a team, not as individuals. I plan to encourage and continue this path of teamwork.”

She said when someone isn’t giving 100 percent, it’s time to move on.

“It’s a long time to be in any position,” Kirkland said of Chapman’s tenure. “I think he’s gotten a little complacent and feels a little entitled.”

Last fall, the board was unable to come to a consensus on whether to establish a set number of office hours for the president’s role and roughly double the pay in the next term. The matter was dropped.

Chapman did not return a phone call seeking comment Tuesday.

Romeoville police: DUI suspect ‘took off running,’ bit officer

ROMEOVILLE – Police say a Braidwood woman ran off from her field sobriety tests and then bit an officer Friday.

Romeoville Cmdr. John Ferdinardo said Ann M. Stuart, 49, and another driver were involved in a minor crash at 4:56 p.m. at Route 53 and 135th Street.

“No one was injured.

Ann M. Both vehicles could be Stuart driven so they pulled into the gas station at 344 N. Independence Boulevard before officers responded,” Ferdinardo said.

Ferdinardo said Stuart appeared to be intoxicated and was given field sobriety tests, but “took off running onto Route 53

where there was a scuffle to restrain her.”

“She bit one officer in the hand, but he was wearing gloves and it did not puncture them,” Ferdinardo said.

Stuart, of the 400 block of Sixth Street, was arrested on charges of aggravated battery to a police officer, resisting arrest, driving under the influence, being a pedestrian under the influence and failing to reduce speed to avoid an accident. She was booked into the Will County Jail and is being held on a $30,000 bond.

ROMEOVILLE – A man allegedly crashed a stolen car during a police chase early Saturday in Romeoville.

According to Cmdr. John Ferdinardo, the incident began about 12:55 a.m. when a patron went into 7-Eleven, 235 W. Romeo Road, and left his unlocked Camaro running in the parking lot.

Within moments, Ronald E. Smith, 49, of the 18000 Ronald block of Flamingo Drive E. Smith in Tinley Park, allegedly got behind the wheel and backed out – causing minor damage to a delivery truck that had been unloading at the convenience store.

The vehicle’s description was broadcast and an officer spotted the Camaro a few minutes later on Fremont Avenue.

Ferdinardo said Smith refused to stop until he struck a parked SUV in the 200 block of Fremont.

“He then ran out of the car and an officer chased him into the backyard of a residence in the 200 block,” Ferdinardo said. “The officer broke a finger during the struggle.”

Smith was arrested on charges of aggra-

vated battery to a police officer, resisting arrest, auto theft, aggravated driving under the influence of alcohol, driving with a suspended license, driving without insurance, hit-and-run, fleeing from police, reckless driving, disregarding a stop sign, failing to reduce speed to avoid an accident and failure to wear a seat belt.

He is being held in the Will County Jail on $165,000 bond.

News from across the state Teen apparently gang-raped on Facebook Live, police say

CHICAGO – A 15-year-old Chicago girl was apparently sexually assaulted by five or six men or boys on Facebook Live, and none of the roughly 40 people who watched the live video reported the attack to police, authorities said Tuesday.

The video marks the second time in recent months that the Chicago Police Department has investigated an apparent attack that was streamed live on Facebook. In January, four people were arrested after a cellphone footage showed them allegedly taunting and beating a mentally disabled Crystal Lake teen.

Police only learned of the latest alleged attack when the girl’s mother approached the head of the police department, Superintendent Eddie Johnson, late Monday afternoon as he was leaving a department station in the Lawndale neighborhood on the city’s West Side, department spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said. She told him her daughter had been missing since Sunday and showed him screen grab photos of the alleged assault.

He said Johnson immediately ordered detectives to investigate and the department asked Facebook to take down the video, which it did.

Guglielmi said Tuesday that detectives found the girl and reunited her with her

family. He said she told detectives that she knows at least one of her alleged attackers, but it remained unclear how well they knew each other.

He said Johnson was “visibly upset” after he watched the video, both by its content and the fact that there were “40 or so live viewers and no one thought to call authorities.”

House votes against making Obama birthday a holiday

SPRINGFIELD – Barack Obama’s name is revered in his home state. But the Illinois House has rejected making his birthday a state holiday.

Legislation to make the 44th president’s Aug. 4th birthday a state holiday fell six votes short Tuesday. Chicago Democratic Rep. Sonya Harper said it would honor a man who adopted Chicago as his home and served in the Illinois State Senate.

But Rep. Steven Andersson of Geneva suggested it be honorary. The Republican floor leader said even Obama wouldn’t want the cash-strapped state to give state workers another paid day off.

He noted that Tampico native and 40th president Ronald Reagan’s Feb. 6th birthday isn’t a holiday.

The vote was 54-57. Harper used a procedure allowing another vote later.

The plan outlines goals to protect state information systems. But it covers only executive branch agencies directly. It wouldn’t have prevented incidents like the cyberattack on Illinois voter data last fall.

Administration officials said they don’t know the final cost of the plan, but that it will come from existing Department of Innovation and Technology resources. The administration has proposed $900 million for all information technology services in the state’s next budget.

But officials said an additional $250 million was needed to connect agency systems, much of which has already been appropriated. Rauner said a cost-cutting pension overhaul could be one source of funding.

Body cam video shows charged cop punching man

SPRINGFIELD – Newly released police body camera footage from Springfield shows an officer punching a 19-year-old man nearly a dozen times.

The footage released Monday stems from an altercation last month that led to 32-year-old officer Samuel A. Rosario facing misdemeanor battery and felony official misconduct charges. The video also shows Rosario taunting the man.

The State Journal-Register reported that the 19-year-old man isn’t charged.

Rosario, who has been a sworn Springfield officer since April 2015, has pleaded not guilty and is free on bond. The police department said Rosario’s police powers have been revoked and he is on unpaid administrative leave.

Pastor cancels his Chicago ‘gang summit’

CHICAGO – A Cleveland-area minister who told President Donald Trump that Chicago’s “top gang thugs” wanted to meet with him to find ways to reduce gun violence said the decision to cancel the event had nothing to do with criticism from activists in the city.

The Rev. Darrell Scott said the meeting won’t happen Tuesday at a hotel near O’Hare International Airport because three people he wanted to attend, including an education expert who became ill at an airport, had to cancel. He said the news release about the summit overstated his goals for the meeting. A new date for the summit hasn’t been determined.

By MARK SHERMAN and ERICA WERNER The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – The Supreme Court on Tuesday gave a Joliet man a new chance to sue the city of Joliet and its police officers, who arrested him on trumpedup charges and kept him in jail for nearly seven weeks.

The 6-2 ruling ordered the federal appeals court in Chicago to reconsider a lawsuit filed by Elijah Manuel. Police arrested him in 2011 and falsely claimed he was in possession of the illegal drug known as Ecstasy.

The police persuaded a prosecutor that Manuel had illegal drugs and the prosecutor took the case to a grand jury and obtained an indictment. When prosecutors finally saw a police lab report showing that the pills Manuel had were vitamins, the indictment was dismissed.

Manuel sued, but lower courts said his claim of unlawful arrest was too late tion touched on abortion, Gorsuch said, after Trump bemoaned his loss of Gorsuch’s native Colorado in November.

and that he could not sue for unlawful detention under the Fourth Amendment, which bars unreasonable searches and seizures.

Writing for the high court, Justice Elena Kagan said the Fourth Amendment applies not just to arrests, but also when suspects are detained. She said Manuel could bring a claim of wrongful detention because the judge’s order holding Manuel for trial “lacked any proper basis.”

“That means Manuel’s ensuing pretrial detention, no less than his original arrest, violated his Fourth Amendment rights,” Kagan said.

Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas dissented, saying Manuel’s case was a malicious prosecution claim that could not be brought under the Fourth Amendment.

Patrick Leahy asked Gorsuch whether a president is free to ignore laws on national security grounds, Gorsuch replied that “nobody is above the law in

this country, and that includes the president of the United States.”

Some Democratic senators who are not on the Judiciary Committee called for a pause in the confirmation process after FBI Director James Comey said Monday that the bureau is investigating Russian meddling in last year’s election and potential ties between Trump associates and Russia.

Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren said on Twitter that while the investigation continues, “lifetime court appointments can wait.” Judiciary Committee chairman Chuck Grassley dismissed the idea as ridiculous.

Gorsuch likewise wouldn’t comment on litigation over Trump’s efforts to ban travel to the U.S. by people from some mainly Muslim countries. He did, however, say publicly what he had previously told senators in private about Trump’s attacks on judges who ruled against him on that issue.

“When anyone criticizes the honesty and integrity or the motives of a federal judge, I find that disheartening, I find that demoralizing,” he said.

Sen. Richard Blumenthal, the Connecticut Democrat, asked, “Including the president?”

“Anyone is anyone,” Gorsuch replied.

WASHINGTON – Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch declared Tuesday that he’s made no promises to Donald Trump or anyone else about how he’ll vote on abortion or other issues and testified he’ll have no trouble as a justice holding anyone accountable, including the president who picked him.

Gorsuch also called Trump’s attacks on federal judges “disheartening” and “demoralizing.”

During the long second day of his Senate confirmation hearings, Gorsuch made two other notable statements in response to questions from members of the Judiciary Committee, and both also related to Trump, who nominated him.

Republican Lindsey Graham of South Carolina asked Gorsuch whether Trump had asked him to overturn Roe v. Wade, the case establishing a right to abortion, and what he would have done had Trump asked him to do so.

“Senator, I would have walked out the door,” Gorsuch replied. “That’s not what judges do.” Later in the day, Gorsuch acknowledged that he and Trump discussed abortion during his Supreme Court interview, but only how divisive an issue it is. Their conversa-

A small act that can save a life VIEWS Scott Reeder SPRINGFIELD – The phone call came early in the morning. It was my mother and she was crying.

Mom didn’t weep easily.

But that day her tears were happy ones.

A donor liver had come through for my brother, Dan, who had been atop the Mayo Clinic’s transplant list for weeks.

For months, I had found myself wondering: Will this be the day he dies?

I didn’t want him to die. But I fretted. It’s hard not to. I loved him. He was my only brother. And I’d never lost someone close to me.

For years, he had suffered from a rare liver disease – primary sclerosing cholangitis.

Finally, his liver was giving out. Death was near.

But someone else’s death saved his.

A middle-aged woman in Rochester, Minnesota, died suddenly of a brain aneurysm. Sometime earlier, she’d signed an organ donor card.

That small act saved my brother’s life.

On Father’s Day 2004, he began his path to recovery. With the gift of a new liver, his yellowing skin returned to a healthy peach color.

His weakened body regained energy.

But this isn’t an “and they lived happily after” story. I wish it were. Cancer began to grow in his transplanted liver and by December 2005 he was dead.

Still, some woman, whose name we will never know, gave him a year and a half that he never would have had.

My brother was not a man prone to much introspection. He was a farmer. Most things were black and white: crop yields, commodity prices, hog weights.

But when it came to the unknown woman who gave a part of herself to him, he became quiet and contemplative.

“I wonder what she was like. Did she have kids?” He said shortly before he died.

I wondered whether her family missed her as much as I would miss Dan. We do know this much about the woman: she cared enough to give.

Next month is organ donor month in Illinois.

Please consider being an organ donor.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Refugee ban constitutional

To the Editor: President Donald Trump issued an executive order temporarily banning people from seven countries from entering our country until we are able to properly vet them. This was for our safety and in accordance with a campaign promise, i.e., the will of the people who elected him.

The Constitution, Article 1, Section 8, assigns Congress the authority “to establish a uniform Rule of Naturalization.” Congress established immigration laws and gave the president authority to restrict entry for aliens that he deems detrimental to our interests. This is specified in 8 U.S.C. paragraph 1182 (f) of the Immigration and Naturalization Act of 1952.

Constitutional rights only apply to “We the people of the United States” and not to want-to-be refugees, wantto-be immigrants, visitors or foreigners. Several Supreme Court cases recognized “the exclusion of aliens is a fundamental act of sovereignty inherent in the executive power to control the foreign affairs of the nation.”

Several presidents, including Barack Obama, issued similar bans.

The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals that ruled against the Trump ban is very liberal and has 70 percent of its rulings overturned by the Supreme Court.

Countries affected by the ban are hot beds for terrorists and were selected by the previous administration.

Several experts have said it is very difficult to vet people coming from these countries.

Last year, the Senate Judiciary subcommittee on immigration and national interest reported 60 people from the seven countries had been convicted of terror-related activities since Sept. 11, 2001.

There are other options to aid refugees, including securing safe zones in their country or them immigrating to neighboring wealthy Arab countries.

Trump’s order temporarily suspending entry of people from the selected countries until we can properly vet them to ensure our safety is prudent and constitutional.

Great job Lockport Township board

To the Editor: I would like to thank the present Lockport Township board for the great job they are doing.

We now have one of the biggest township halls in the state with plenty of room to expand.

Just think of all the new programs

that we can now add, such as a band practice room.

Many people have been complaining about the present politicians being one of the highest-paid township boards in the state.

This is justified because they have many tough decisions to make, such as using funds dedicated for senior housing to pay for the new township hall.

The referendum to dedicate funds for senior housing was passed years ago, when times were different.

Some people were protesting about the lack of transparency of this board.

Changing locations and times of meetings with short notice is not a big deal because many people don’t attend the meetings anyway.

Another complaint was about the board preventing a group of citizens from adding items for discussion on the agenda for last year’s annual town meeting.

The board doesn’t need input from residents who have concerns. Our present township board has been controlled by the same party for over 40 years because they know the needs and wants of our residents.

They don’t need to deal with people that don’t agree with them.

PREP BASEBALL: MINOOKA 8, MORRIS 0

A GOOD BEGINNING

Minooka gets a combined one-hit shutout over Morris

By DRAKE SKLEBA

Shaw Media correspondent MINOOKA – Under sunny skies Tuesday, Minooka welcomed nonconference rival Morris. Just off their thrilling, 8-5, come-from behind victory over Bradley-Bourbonnais on Saturday, the Redskins were looking to remain undefeated.

Minooka senior southpaw Tyler Talbot and Indians multi-sports star Jon Butler had other ideas.

Talbot (1-0) fired four hitless innings with nine strikeouts, while Butler went 3 for 3 with a pair of RBIs, leading the Indians to a 8-0 victory.

Minooka senior southpaw Devin Smith fired two scoreless innings in relief, allowing a hit to Redskins leadoff man Payton Voitik, while striking out two. Butler closed out the game with a 1-2-3 seventh, with two strikeouts, to complete the combined one-hit shutout of Morris (1-1). Indians pitchers struck out 13 in all.

Minooka (1-0) picked up an unearned run in the first inning against Morris starting pitcher Dawson Moore, who went four innings.

A double steal of home and second base from Minooka’s Jackson Shepherd (1 for 2) and Grant Olson (1 for 3), highlighted a three-run Indian second inning. Shepard and Olson singled, putting Indian runners on first and third with Nick Airola at the plate.

Olson took off for second and when the throw went to second. Shepherd streaked home, completing the double steal. Airola singled home Olson. A Hayden Laczynski groundout scored Airola to make it 4-0.

Larry W. Kane for Shaw Media

Minooka starting pitcher Tyler Talbot picked up the win against Morris on Tuesday at Minooka High School. Indians pitchers combined for 13 strikeouts.

Meanwhile, Talbot (1-0) was dealing.

“I had all my pitches working for me,” Talbot said. “I had a big strike zone and really took advantage of it.

This was a great team win and we all played well and look forward to playing well against Andrew [Wednes-

day].”

After another Redskin miscue in the field, Butler ripped his third hit, driving home two runs for a 6-0 Minooka lead in the fourth.

“I pitched pretty well, but I made a couple of bad pitches that really hurt

me,” Moore said. “This was just one loss and it hasn’t hurt our confidence a bit. I truly believe we have the talent and the team chemistry to have a big year.”

PREP SOFTBALL: LINCOLN-WAY WEST SEASON PREVIEW

Juniors in spotlight at Lincoln-Way West WARRIORS

By STEVE MILLAR

Shaw Media correspondent NEW LENOX – Lincoln-Way West shortstop Mac Mahy knows that for her and her fellow juniors, it’s their time to shine.

“I think us juniors have kind of taken over after we lost the seniors from last year,” Mahy said. “We know we have to step it up now. We’re the next in line and we’ve always been told that. We’re excited for that opportunity.”

Indeed, the junior class will be counted on to lead a young Warriors team that’s trying to reload after losing several key seniors from last year, including the 2016 Herald-News Softball Player of the Year Amanda Ruskowsky.

“We have four juniors who have been on varsity since they were freshmen,” West coach Heather Novak said. “They know the expectations of our program and they know what it takes to be successful with the level of competition in our area.”

Continued from page 19 With two outs in the fifth, Voitik hit a soft liner over Indian second baseman Antonio Milazzo for the only Redskin to reach safely.

In the sixth, Milazzo tied a record held by many when he retired all three Redskin batters on groundouts to second.

In the bottom of the sixth inning, the Indians picked up a pair of runs on a Deston Martin RBI double and an RBI single from Logan O’Brien. Butler went 1-2-3 in the seventh.

“I was able to get a number of good pitches to hit and hit them well,” Butler said. “This was a great way to start the season for the team and personally, too.”

For Morris (1-1), a home date with Herscher on Thursday awaits at 4:30 p.m.

“The unearned run we gave Minooka really had a bad effect on the kids. We made some easy plays hard and that hurt us. The Talbot kid is a quality pitcher, but I felt we helped him out with our approach at the plate. I just wish we would have been more competitive against a great Minooka team.”

“This was a real special win for us today,” Petrovic said. “We played very well in all phases of our game.

Tyler [Talbot] was outstanding on the mound and our two relief pitchers did equally as well. We really hit the ball today and even our bench had big hits.

“Jon Butler is a special player and more than that, a special person. I find it hard to understand why Jon is still unsigned. He is one of the hardest workers I have ever coached and truly has been a pleasure to have around.

“It’s not just Amanda’s talent on the field that we’re going to miss, but also the intangibles she brought,” Novak said. “We’re going to be looking for a number of individuals to step up.

It’s going to be a team effort, both offensively and defensively.”

Callahan will look to bring the same type of versatility. She hit 11 home runs and drove in 31 runs last year, while hitting .359.

She pitched sparingly but has the potential to be an ace, Novak said.

“I like being in that role, getting to help the team on the mound and at the plate,” Callahan said. “I can step up and show what I can do.”

With Callahan, Perry and junior Kaitlyn May contributing, Baez is confident the Warriors’ pitching will be fine.

“Dani, Anna and Kaitlyn are all great,” she said. “They’re going to do really good. I have a lot of confidence in them.”

Perry, who hit .311 last year, also is likely to bat in the middle of the War-

riors’ order.

Mahy, who had a .368 on-base percentage last season, will anchor what figures to be a strong defensive infield.

“I like being a leader of the infield,” Mahy said. “I’m usually able to keep myself calm and help everyone else stay calm. I think that role is easier for me than other people. I know I couldn’t have done it when I was a freshman.”

The Warriors will compete in Class 4A for the first time this season.

“We’re always up for a challenge,” Novak said. “Despite what class we’re in, we’re going to continue to focus on ourselves and how we can continue to grow and get better as a program.

“We’re young this year, but expectations aren’t going to change. It’s going to come down to any person on any given day being able to step up in big situations, getting that big hit when we need it or making that big play in the field.”

Mahy’s expectations are high.

“I think we can win the first sectional championship for our school,” Mahy said. “With this team and the talent we have, I think that’s very possible.”

Minooka’s Jon Butler gets a base hit against Morris on Tuesday at Minooka High School. Minooka won, 8-0.

PREP BASEBALL: MINOOKA SEASON PREVIEW

By DICK GOSS

dgoss@shawmedia.com

• Wednesday, March 22, 2017

MINOOKA – Providence Catholic has won the last three Class 4A state baseball championships under coach Mark Smith.

Nobody has more respect for what Smith and his team have accomplished than Minooka coach Jeff Petrovic.

In fact, Petrovic, who is entering his 14th season as the Indians’ head coach, says one of the trademarks of the Celtics’ success could serve his team well this season.

“There was a year or two where Mark won state without dominant pitching,” Petrovic said. “That’s kind of the model we have to look at, see if we can piece some things together and rely on our depth.”

When you compare the potential pitching staff Petrovic and veteran pitching coach Jim Lamping have available with the staffs at, say, Southwest Prairie Conference rivals Plainfield South and Plainfield North, there probably is no comparison. The Cougars and Tigers regularly will trot out Division I pitchers, or hard-throwers who will approach that level.

Senior left-hander Tyler Talbot will be Minooka’s No. 1. He was No. 2 last year behind Brad VanAsdlen for much of the season as Joe Butler was able to pitch only sparingly.

Previously, a No. 1 in the SPC pretty much was assured of facing the opponent’s No. 1 every Tuesday as the league used a thee-game series format with games on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.

Now, with Joliet Central and Joliet West joining, there will be twogame conference series with games Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

Plus, there is the added attraction of the pitch-count rules that the IHSA has installed.

“It will be interesting to see how coaches try to manipulate their pitchers,” Petrovic said. “It may not be possible to use their No. 1 or No. 2 every game they want to.

“But with a Monday-Wednesday-Friday format, it’s pretty much the same idea with how much guys are used, it’s just that you may match up differently. I coached one way for about 20 years with the three-game series, now this will be more interesting. Some of it may come down to the luck of the draw.”

Petrovic said the rugged nonconference schedule Minooka plays could figure into adjustments as well.

“As a coach, you have to trust any pitcher who is getting the ball on a

Junior Hayden Laczynski, who’s entering his third season as Minooka’s starting shortstop, goes down to field a low throw as a Plainfield Central runner steals second base during a game last season. given day,” he said. “If your No. 3 is going against the other guy’s No. 1, your guy has to find a way to compete and give you a chance to win.

“Maybe we will need six pitchers to make it work.”

Minooka’s pitchers, however many see regular duty, will know going in that they will not need to be perfect. The Indians have a veteran, everyday lineup that should score runs, and the defense is solid.

For those reasons, Petrovic sees potential improvement from Minooka’s 20-16 season of a year ago, which included a 12-9 mark in the SPC. “I believe we finished third,” he said. “That was the first time in a long time where we were out of the top two in the league.”

The Indians’ lineup will begin with center fielder Jon Butler, third-year junior shortstop Hayden Laczynski,

Shepard, all returning regulars.

Junior Luke Faifer, who was a designated hitter in the postseason a year ago, when Minooka joined all four Plainfield schools as a regional champion, could play some right field and also can catch.

Antonio Milazzo, a basketball starter who was a reserve last spring, will open at second base. Petrovic said Milazzo’s starting experience in basketball may help him settle in quickly as a regular on the diamond.

“We’re returning almost an entire lineup and it’s really a great lineup,” Petrovic said. “We have great kids.

“This team has a really good, competitive nature to it. They won’t be intimidated by any of the top pitching that we will see. They hit the ball hard when we faced [Plainfield South ace Austin Marozas] in the sectional last year.”

PREP SOFTBALL: PLAINFIELD NORTH SEASON PREVIEW

New Plainfield North coach stresses conditioning

By JEFF DE GRAW

Shaw Media correspondent PLAINFIELD – The Plainfield North softball team will be under the direction of a new head coach this season.

Kelly Ash takes over the Tiger program after the departure of former coach Allison Wodziak.

Ash has been around the softball and baseball game for years and is co-owner of Legacy Sports in Shorewood, and the Illinois Hawks travel organization.

“I’ve always wanted to be a head varsity coach since I was a little kid,” Ash said. “This was a great opportunity and I’m walking into a super situation with a very talented team. The program is coming off an 18-win season last year and we have everyone on this roster who can play at the next level.”

Conditioning was a priority for Ash to establish a base to build from for the season.

“The proper conditioning of our players has been the priority since day one,” Ash said. “We have talent and

They are a veteran group that has outstanding pitching, defense and a new attitude. But the long-term success will depend on how the offense comes around. depth across the board, but you have to be ready for the long season grind.”

That early season conditioning has not gone unnoticed by the players. Senior Abbey Kruzel, who is the Tigers top returning pitcher and has signed with Indiana State, is super excited with what Ash has brought to the program.

“We are more prepared at this time of the season than we ever have been,” Kruzel said. “Just the workouts and the confidence coach instills in us is exciting. The team is excited and we are together, it’s such a different at-

titude around here. Last year we tied the school record for most wins (18) and breaking that is one of our goals along the way.”

Junior Greta Thompson, who has committed to Wisconsin-Green Bay, gives the Tigers a formidable one-two punch on the mound as each of the hurlers throw in the 60s.

The Tigers will back up the pitching with a solid defense lead by senior shortstop Carolyn Hett.

“Carolyn [Hett] is one of the best fielders I have seen and she has the arm to go with it, can make plays from anywhere on the field and can hit,” Ash said.

Hett echoed the same thoughts as Kruzel on the attitude of the team and what Ash has brought to this group.

“The atmosphere has changed, we are way more confident,” she said.

“We now have a focus of having fun and winning, which go hand-in-hand and coach has brought that to this team. It’s such a different attitude, we are proud to be Tigers and we want to make the most out of the season.”

There is one area that Ash knows that has to get better – the hitting.

“We are a streaky team at the plate, there is a lot of inconsistency in that phase of the game right now,” Ash said. “It’s all about the approach at the plate and knowing the situations. We have a lot of speed and some power, so we need to learn how to adjust in what we need to do from game to game and inside a particular game, if we do that we have the potential to win a lot of games.”

Lexie Siwek, a junior outfielder, talked about the individuality of softball, yet being a team player.

“First and foremost this is a team sport, but I like the fact that you can shine individually and it helps the team be successful,” Siwek said. “This team is close as a group. We are closer that ever. We have talent, we now have fun together. It is more intense, but we have set some high goals for ourselves as a team.”

With a veteran group of a players and a new coach that has brought in a different attitude, the Southwest Prairie Conference title was mentioned, but playing in Peoria the last week of the season is the ultimate goal for this group of Tigers.

Raptors snap 11-game losing streak against Bulls with win

By PAUL ATTFIELD

The Associated Press TORONTO – DeMar DeRozan had 42 points, and the Toronto Raptors snapped an 11-game losing streak against the Bulls by rallying for a wild 122-120 overtime win Tuesday night.

DeRozan shot 17 of 38 from the floor and also collected eight assists. Cory Joseph had 19 points for the Raptors, and Serge Ibaka scored 16 before he was ejected for his role in a memorable fight with Robin Lopez during the third quarter.

Jimmy Butler had 37 points for the Bulls, and Rajon Rondo finished with 24. It was the Bulls first loss to Toronto since Dec. 31, 2013.

Following a Butler 3-pointer with 3:58 remaining in the third quarter, giving the Bulls a 16-point lead, Lopez swatted the ball out of the hand of Ibaka. The two squared up in the middle of a crowd and Lopez swung and missed Ibaka, who returned in kind, barely connecting with the head of the center.

Lopez and Ibaka were ejected following a long review period. Bulls forward Nikola Mirotic and Raptors assistant coach Jamaal Magloire received offsetting technical fouls after getting into a

shoving match following the melee.

The Bulls opened a 109-94 lead on Paul Zipser’s 3-pointer with 6:39 left in the fourth. But the Raptors responded with a 15-0 run, tying the game on Joseph’s layup with 1:50 remaining.

Toronto grabbed the lead for the first time on a turnaround jumper from DeRozan with 1:23 to play in overtime.

Denzel Valentine missed a 3-point attempt on the Bulls’ next possession and Patrick Patterson had a tip-in layup to make it 119-115 Toronto with 44.7 seconds remaining.

The Raptors lead the NBA with 18 comeback victories after trailing by 10-or-more points.

Tip-ins: Bulls: A pregame moment of silence was observed in honor of former Bulls general manager Jerry Krause.

The team confirmed his death on Tuesday. ... In their 11-game winning streak over the Raptors, the Bulls used 10 different starting lineups, before using an 11th different one on Tuesday. ... The Bulls’ 11-game winning streak was their longest against the Raptors since a 15game streak from Dec. 18, 2002-Dec. 29, 2006.

Up next: Bulls: Host Detroit on Wednesday, needing a win to earn a season split of their four-game series.

Like him or not, Krause left his mark on Bulls, Chicago

TORONTO – Jerry Krause, who was the architect of six NBA Championships and turned the Bulls into a world-wide brand, died on Tuesday after battling numerous health issues.

He was 77 years old.

A member of the Bulls front office for 18 years, Krause was responsible for surrounding Hall of Famer Michael Jordan with the likes of Scottie Pippen, Horace Grant, Toni Kukoc and Dennis Rodman, as well as the hiring of coach Phil Jackson.

“The entire Bulls organization is deeply saddened by the passing of Jerry Krause,’’ chairman Jerry Reinsdorf said in a statement. “Jerry was one of the hardest-working guys I have ever been around, and he was one of the best talent evaluators ever. Jerry played an integral role in our run of six championships in eight years. He truly was the architect of all our great teams in the ’90s. I would not have been elected to the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame if it were not for Jerry. We will miss him tremendously, and we send our thoughts and prayers to his wife, Thelma, and the Krause family.’’

SM-CL0391493

What made the Krause story even more special was he was a Chicago native, taking over the basketball operations for the Bulls on March 26, 1985.

Before he had that position with the Bulls, he was a scout with the Baltimore Bullets, Phoenix Suns, Los Angeles Lakers and, previously, the Bulls (1969-71), drafting future Hall of Famers Earl Monroe and Wes Unseld.

“I owe a lot to Jerry,’’ VP of basketball operations John Paxson said. “If it weren’t for him bringing me to Chicago in 1985, I probably never would have been a Bull. He had a great eye for talent, and his ability to build a team is unrivaled. He’s one of the best the league has ever seen.’’

It wasn’t just his influence on the Bulls, however, that solidified his place as one of the best talent evaluators in all of sports. Krause got his start in baseball, and was responsible for the White Sox acquiring the likes of Ozzie Guillen.

That’s what Guillen loved about Krause. He not only was a risk-taker, but stood behind his decisions, despite criticism.

It was Krause who pushed the trade that sent Cy Young pitcher LaMarr Hoyt to San Diego in an eight-player deal that landed Guillen.

“Right now a lot of people are like, ‘Oh my God, I feel bad for him, Oh my God, rest in peace,’ but I don’t believe in those people,’’ Guillen said in a phone interview. “A lot of those people weren’t nice to Jerry, and that wasn’t fair.’’

That criticism Guillen brought up became synonymous with Krause, as the Bulls dynasty started to crumble. Jordan and Jackson headlined a long line of critics that took shots at Krause not only professionally, but personally, from the way he spoke to the way he looked.

“Jerry Krause was a homegrown legend who built a dynasty recognized around the world,’’ Mayor Rahm Emanuel said in a statement. “He will forever be remembered as the architect of one of the most dynamic eras in Chicago sports history, who made the Bulls synonymous with Chicago and brought basketball to the world stage.’’

Krause is survived by his wife, Thelma; his two children, Stacy and David; and, his grandchildren Colette, Josh, Mia and Riley.

Restaurant reviews

PLAINFIELD – I could pretend I went to Nevin’s Brewing Company in Plainfield for the food.

Or, I could be honest, and say I was interested in trying their in-house beer selection. And I was hungry too.

So I chose Thursday to go.

When I went, they had a $10.99 allyou-can-eat wings deal on Thursdays and Sundays, now, it’s 59-cent boneless and 79-cent bone-in wings on the same days. Either way, there’s 13 sauces and 13 dusts you can try on those wings.

So, I tried as many as I could, including the whiskey root beer (decent), sriracha maple (outstanding) and apple bacon (good).

And, well, I came back again and tried the buffalo wings on a Thursday for 59 cents apiece. It wasn’t necessarily a unique buffalo sauce, but it had a solid amount of spice and left me satisfied with the choice.

If wings aren’t your thing, there is everything from $36.99 12-ounce Delmonico rib eye mushrooms, whipped potatoes and sautéed spinach to buildyour-own mac and cheese ($8.99 plus $1.50 for added ingredient) to Prohibition pasta (from $9.99 spaghetti to $13.99 Frank Nitti baked ziti).

They also offer pizza ($11.99 for the set options or $9.99 plus $1.50 a topping for build-your-own) and burgers. There are 13 burger options. There’s anything from the $16.99 Fat Tuesday option with a 1/2-pound ground beef and andouie sausage patty stuffed with jalapeños and pepper jack cheese and topped with more pepper jack, jambalaya sauce, shrimp and fried onions to the $11.99

If you go n WHAT: Nevin’s Brewing Company n WHEN: 11:30 a.m. to midnight Sunday,

closed Monday, 3 p.m. to 1 a.m. Tuesday-Thursday, 3 p.m. to 2 a.m. Friday and 11:30 a.m. to 2 a.m. Saturday n WHERE: 12337 S. Rt. 59, Plainfield n INFO: Call 815-436-3900 or visit nevinsbrewing.com.

Nevin’s Brewing Company in Plainfield is serious about making beer.

Bootlegger, which is a 1/2-pounder with cheddar, bacon and fried onions on top.

There are also taco platters for $12.99 (tacos are on a $2 special on Tuesdays) or 10 sandwich options (From $8.99 grilled cheese to a $13.99 firecracker shrimp po’ boy) of seven salad options (From $4.99 house salad to $13.99 salmon bruschetta).

But that brings me to the real reason I stopped by, the beer options. They give tours and have deals throughout the week, from four options for $4 32-ounce pitchers on Sundays to $3 select drafts on Wednesdays and Thursdays and a 3 to 6 p.m. Tuesday Happy Hour.

At this point, I have tried plenty of them, but that night I started with

the Southside Stout and Snitches Get Stitches. Both were well worth it in different ways and I lucked out to be sitting next to someone who worked there (but was off-the-clock) at the bar and got a sort of history of all of the brews on the menu as well.

Nevin’s was welcoming and offers plenty of options for your beer-drinking taste, from the Apocalyptinator (my favorite), a dark beer described as having “a big blast of caramel, chocolate and toasted toffee” to Quick Witted, their Belgian wit.

They also have two IPA options (Bigly Imperial IPA and Another IPA) and both are solid choices along with another of my favorites, Red in the Face, described as having caramel

malts with “amounts of Mosaic and Chinook hops.”

And they also have growler options, which work well if you want to take your favorite options home in a 64-ounce version to share. Most of the brews are available in growlers for either $15 or $22 a fill along with a $6 up front charge for a growler.

Nevin’s is serious about making beer, you can find the signature brews at their other restaurants (Tommy Nevin’s Pub, The Kerry Piper and Muldoon’s) along with others around town.

But the best option, in my opinion, is to go to the brewing company itself, where the beer is made, and check it out.

Carpal tunnel usually treatable Dear Doctor: Sometimes when I awake from a good sleep, one of my hands is asleep, and I have to shake or massage it back to normalcy. It’s usually my thumb and the two fingers next to it. Is this normal?

Dear Reader: No, this is not normal.

Your symptoms are typical of carpal tunnel syndrome, which occurs because of a compression of the median nerve at the wrist. The median nerve provides sensation to the thumb, index and middle fingers. It also supplies the muscles that control the thumb and the smaller muscles that control the index and middle fingers.

The median nerve is in real cramped quarters as it makes its way through the wrist. As you look at the palm surface of your hand and move your eyes toward your wrist you can see multiple tendons. The median nerve has to share room with nine of these tendons that are within the carpal tunnel. When there is inflammation in the wrist, or the tendons become inflamed, the median nerve gets compressed.

The first symptoms often are noted during sleep, when we have a tendency to flex the wrists, so that our hands curl.

This flexion of the wrists causes greater compression of the median nerve, which leads to the sensation of tingling in the thumb and the index and middle fingers, as if your hands are falling asleep.

Carpal tunnel syndrome is very common and can be caused by repetitive work involving recurrent compression on the median nerve. Studies have been mixed as to the type of work that can cause this. One study showed that recurrent use of a computer mouse was associated with carpal tunnel syndrome, but there has been no consistent associa-

SUDOKU

ASK THE DOCTORS Robert Ashley tion with recurrent keyboard use.

Women are more likely to have carpal tunnel syndrome than are men. The rate is 5 percent in the general population, but women have rates ranging from 7 percent to 18 percent. One study, published in Environmental Research, for example, found a greater rate of carpal tunnel syndrome in female butchers and meat cutters.

Diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis and hypothyroidism are diseases that are associated with an increased risk of carpal tunnel syndrome.

As for a diagnosis, that can be done through a physical exam or through a nerve conduction study.

For starters, I would consult your doctor. If he or she diagnoses carpal tunnel syndrome, wearing a wrist brace at night would be the likely recommendation.

Whether rigid or of a softer variety, wrist braces help because they don’t allow the wrist to curl when you’re sleeping. In addition, a physical therapist can teach stretches and range of motion exercises that can ease symptoms.

Finally, pay attention to signs of weakness in the hand. This would be noticed mostly in the use of the thumb, such as if you start dropping keys or begin having difficulty holding a cup. These signs suggest additional treatment, such as surgery, may be needed.

J A Z Z

DEAR ABBY I’m not proud to write this, but I Jeanne don’t like my sonPhillips in-law. I think the feeling is mutual. He’s arrogant and thinks he knows everything. My daughter and I had a close bond before she married him. That quickly changed. She barely comes to my house anymore, and I don’t see my grandkids as often as I’d like. I don’t have a car (I’m working on that), and I rely on them for transportation. I don’t like going to their house because I don’t feel wanted. I tolerate my son-in-law because I know my daughter loves him and I try hard to stay out of their business.

Dear Abby:

daughter may be hurt or uncomfortable because she knows you dislike her husband? If he makes your daughter happy and is a good father to your grandchildren, give him points for that, and be glad you aren’t the one who has to live with him. You don’t have to love him, but you must maintain a cordial relationship if only for your daughter’s sake. Keep working on getting that car so you’ll have your own transportation when you need it, and your visit won’t be perceived as an imposition.

Dear Abby: My son is angry to the point of rage that my daughter is dating his best friend, “Ron.” He says his sister “betrayed him” because when she and Ron broke up, she promised never to date another of his friends again, but went back to dating Ron. He also blames my husband and me for encouraging them. They are only 18 months apart in age. We have shared that we understand his feelings of loss regarding his friend, but we don’t think there’s anything wrong with her dating Ron. I don’t think anything will make him feel better except them breaking up again, and that doesn’t look like it will happen. My son is 22 and my daughter is 20. This is ruining the once close-knit family we had. Any advice you can offer would be appreciated. – Mess on East Coast Dear Mess: Your son may be 22, but he needs to grow up. If he values his friendship with Ron, he will have to accept that he cannot control the love lives of others, and the person he is punishing with the stance he has taken is himself. It’s time for you to step back. You and your spouse will be better off if you stop allowing your adult son’s tantrum(s) to affect you.

Dear Abby: While dining in a fancy restaurant recently, I noticed a woman sitting a few tables away who had a number of tattoos on her arms and elsewhere. When she came by, I politely asked her what one of them meant. My wife was furious! Did I do something wrong? – Inquiring

HOROSCOPE

By EUGENIA LAST

Newspaper Enterprise Association TODAY – Take care of details and be precise in all your actions. Having a solid strategy and a willingness to go the distance will help you succeed this year. Don’t follow the crowd when you should be leading the way. Pursue reasonable goals and be moderate in your aims.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Don’t complicate matters by trying to fit too much into your day.

Keep your life simple and your facts straight. Stick to your plan and do things for yourself.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Taking an active role in events or activities that matter to you will encourage you to use your imagination and rely on

your instincts. Take care of health issues promptly.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Listen, observe and learn as you go. Don’t feel you have to be first or take a risk to impress someone. Protect your health and your financial situation.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Don’t make an impulsive move or decision. Money matters are best handled with care and an emphasis on frugality.

Overreacting will make matters worse when dealing with friends, children or a loved one.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Observe what’s going on around you at work or among your peers, but don’t interfere. Meddling will lead to blame. Put your trust and time into getting ahead.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Taking an energetic approach to life and interacting with people you

find stimulating and inspiring will spur you to take on interesting projects or learn something new.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Impulsive behavior will be difficult to curtail. Try to think before you do or say something you will live to regret. Overdoing it in any fashion will be costly and emotionally draining.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – You’ll face problems when dealing with friends, relatives and peers.

Keep your promises and be willing to work alongside others to bring about positive change. Don’t rock the boat.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Making a move or changing your surroundings will give you a boost. You don’t have to overspend if you are willing to do the work yourself. Physical and mental

improvements will pay off.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Set a steady pace and make sure you do your own thing. A disciplined approach when dealing with deadlines, superiors or institutions will help you divert someone who is trying to dismantle your plans.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Something or someone from your past will cause problems if you haven’t cleaned up unfinished business. Make a point to put things in place quickly so that you can move on.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – You’ll face some opposition if you aren’t readily available when needed. Don’t overschedule or crowd your agenda with matters that someone else can take care of for you.

Paul Simon, in “The Sounds of Silence,” wrote the line: “People hearing without listening.”

At a bridge table where bidding boxes are being used, that would have to be: “People seeing without listening.” A good bridge player, though, is never deaf to the auction: He interprets all of the calls, whether by his partner or the opponents, and puts the information to good use. In today’s deal, South was in three notrump, and West led the heart eight.

What should have happened after that?

South did not like to overcall one no-trump with that heart holding. He was worried that partner might hold queen-doubleton, which would have provided a second stopper if North were the declarer. But nothing would have more accurately described the nature and strength of South’s hand.

Declarer started with seven top tricks. Since only 12 high-card points were missing, the club finesse was bound to provide an eighth winner, but since the diamond finesse was doomed, from where would trick nine come?

South ducked the first trick and took the second to learn the heart break. Then he cashed his six blacksuit tricks with the aid of the club finesse. East followed throughout in clubs and cleverly discarded the diamond jack(!) on the third spade. He was hoping declarer would believe that he had blanked the diamond king. However, South knew that 2-53-3 distribution was more likely than 2-5-2-4 and decided to let East get into the newspapers if he’d had the courage to pitch a diamond from a doubleton.

Declarer exited with his last heart.

As he hoped, at trick 12, East had to lead away from the diamond king into dummy’s ace-queen.
