Joliet District 86 candidates seek more community involvement

By FELIX SARVER

fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Five candidates for the Joliet Public Schools District 86 Board are concerned about community involvement, uncertain state funding, better academic achievements and facility improvements.

Incumbent Gwendolyn Ulmer and challenger Sanina “Nina” Campbell are running for one seat on the east side of the District 86 Board of School Inspectors.

Board Vice President Jeffrey Pritz and school Inspector Anthony Contos, both incumbents, along with challenger Loretta Westbrooks are running for two seats on the west side of the board.

The candidates generally agree that there could be better communication between the parents, the community and the district.

Ulmer said the district’s population has changed, and the district needs to continue looking at how it can be more culturally aware and engage Hispanic parents. She said the district has adjusted to Hispanic families through technology and social media.

“We have to make them feel welcome and a part of our education community,” she said.

Campbell said there could be more parent involvement, and teachers could notify

parents earlier of how their children are performing.

“I think parents, they’re not aware they can be more active and involved in their child’s education,” she said.

Pritz said the district has good communication, but it could be enhanced and expanded to let parents know all the positive events and successes happening there. He also cited the district’s efforts to translate more communication materials into Spanish.

“Those are things we need to continue to do so people are aware of all the positives in District 86,” he said.

Contos said that the district communicates with parents well, but that the “job never ends” and the district could do even better. He said he wants to see more people come to events at the district, such as the young authors’ conference or concerts.

“We’ve got some solid things going on,” Contos said.

Westbrooks said she thinks there needs to be more social programs to bridge the gap between parents and educators because she believes there’s distrust between them. She said she’d like to see events in and outside the schools that teachers and parents not involved in parent-teacher organizations attend together.

Police search for missing New Lenox woman

By ANNA SCHIER

aschier@shawmedia.com NEW LENOX – New Lenox police are seeking help in finding a missing woman.

Nicole E. Homer, 50, of New Lenox was reported missing Sunday, according to a post on the village of New Lenox’s Facebook page.

She was last seen at her residence, which is located northwest of the intersection of Spencer Road and Joliet Highway, Deputy Police Chief Robert Pawlisz said.

Homer is 5 feet 4 inches tall

with a thin build, blond hair and blue eyes, the post stated.

Before she disappeared, she was wearing dark blue jeans, a black jacket and black boots.

She is believed to be driving a tan 2001 Lexus 300 with the license plate 138 1397.

Anyone with information about Homer’s whereNicole E. abouts is asked Homer to call the New Lenox Police Department at 815-485-2500.

WHERE IT’S AT

• Relevant information • Marketing Solutions • Community Advocates

“If we have an environment of trust and respect for each other, our kids are going to benefit from that,” Westbrooks said.

When it comes to the students’ education, Ulmer said she wants the district to focus on the direction it’s going with its strategic plan. The community chats with Superintendent Theresa Rouse allow district officials to collect input from parents on what the district can do better, she said.

Campbell said that since Eisenhower Academy is a Blue Ribbon school, she would like to use it as a blueprint to make other District 86 schools more successful.

She said Eisenhower has a lot of parent involvement.

Pritz said he wants the district to remain focused on academic excellence and to continue implementing Common Core standards.

Contos said he wants to see a 1:1 ratio of technology devices to students and a childhood literacy program because the earlier that children read, the more of an effect it has on them throughout their education.

“Reading is the root need,” Contos said.

Westbrooks said textbooks need to be brought back into schools, and that the district needs to provide parents or guardians of children more help with technology, especially for low-income families.

She also said she thinks teachers should be more empowered in their work.

The Grand Ballroom at Union Station to host new slate of events

By BOB OKON

bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The Grand Ballroom at Joliet Union Station occupies one of Joliet’s historic spaces, but it’s one that many people never enter.

Mistwood Golf Club, the new management at the ballroom, plans to change that starting April 16, when it holds an Easter Brunch Buffet.

“A lot of people have never been in this space. This is a way to get them in the door,” said Jimmy Koklas, director of food and beverage for Mistwood, which is better known for the Mistwood Golf Club in Romeoville.

Decades ago, anyone who boarded or departed a train in Joliet would have gone through the space that is now The Grand Ballroom.

The cavernous room, with its high ceiling and echoing acoustics, was the central waiting area for travelers at the train station, a classic, limestone building that opened in 1912.

But a major renovation of Union Station in the 1990s converted the former waiting area into banquet space.

Even as Union Station remained a train station until 2014, entry into The Grand Ballroom usually was reserved for private parties or the occasional special event, such as the ribbon-cutting ceremony Thursday.

Mistwood recently took over management of The Grand Ballroom.

Bussean Custom Caterers had operated the ballroom since 2001.

When the city of Joliet, which owns Union Station, awarded the lease of the ballroom to Mistwood, one of the deciding factors was Mistwood’s idea to host the kind of events that would make the space more accessible to the public.

Mistwood hosted a wedding and quinceañera party at The Grand Ballroom last weekend.

At a Saturday party, even people from Joliet said that it was their first time in the space, said Brett Burke, sales and operating manager for The Grand Ballroom.

“People loved it,” Burke said.

“They didn’t think such a magnificent building could be found in downtown Joliet.”

Mistwood’s plan is to bring more people into The Grand Ballroom by having more events such as the Easter Brunch Buffet.

Members of the Joliet City Council and Mistwood Golf Club conduct the grand opening of The Grand Ballroom at Joliet Union Station in Joliet.

Mistwood Golf Club officials, who now manage The Grand Ballroom at Joliet Union Station, opened the facility with a ribboncutting ceremony Thursday.

Five more events open to the public are on the calendar through June 30. The Easter Brunch Buffet costs $35 for adults and $12 for children.

But the next event, on May 6, will be free, as The Grand Ballroom hosts the Joliet stop for the Red Carpet Corridor Festival, a Route 66 tourism event hosted by several towns.

So far, about 100 people have reserved spots for the Easter Brunch

Buffet.

Mistwood owner Jim McWethy talked about “the buzz” that he thinks shows public interest in using the space.

“A lot of people are talking about it,” McWethy said. “We’re going to do things with it that nobody else has.”

Other events planned for The Grand Ballroom are a murder mystery dinner and a summer craft beer

dinner.

Union Station was closed as a train station in September 2014 as the city moved boarding areas to the other side of the tracks, where a new train station is under construction.

But the old train station is being put to new use.

An entrepreneurial group is in the process of creating a brewpub on the lower floor of Union Station. The brewpub is tentatively slated to open in July.

“I think the best thing that could happen to us is to have Mistwood here because of the traffic that comes with it,” said Grzegorz Lesiak, a partner with the MyGrain Brewing Co. & Brewpub.

Lesiak said he believes events at The Grand Ballroom will bring attention to the brewpub. Likewise, he said, people who come to the brewpub will become familiar with The Grand Ballroom.

“It will be beneficial for both businesses,” he said.

JJC concerned about nearby development

‘‘

Faculty, students: ‘Game-changing’ plan could affect traffic, environment

This is so preliminary. …

There’s nothing for the [Board of Trustees] to vote on right now because this is not impacting the college campus.”

By FELIX SARVER

fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Some Joliet Junior College faculty and students have expressed concerns about the effect of the Rock Run Crossings development near the main campus – including its environmental consequences.

Cullinan Properties gave a presentation of the planned development to the college Thursday.

Several attendees spoke of their concerns about how a proposed road would affect JJC’s natural areas, traffic and the economy.

In 2015, Cullinan Properties, based in East Peoria, acquired a 265-acre site to the west of JJC that previously was planned by another developer as a major lifestyle mall until the recession hit in 2008.

Vic Pildes, Cullinan Properties senior vice president of development, said the mixed-use development would be a “game-changing development” for Joliet and Will County.

As part of the project, Rock Run Crossings would require additional road access.

One of the proposed roads that was of concern to some attendees was the County Farm Road extension that

JJC natural sciences professor Andy Neill read a letter stating that the college’s natural areas committee wasn’t opposed to the development itself, but it was concerned about the road going across the college’s natural areas, as it would cause a “great deal of harm” to the ecological integrity.

The direction and path of the road would “irreparably compromise” the features of the natural areas used as an outdoor teaching and learning laboratory.

“The construction and footprint of such a road would fragment the habitat and alter the hydrology of natural areas,” Neill said.

Clay Shipley of Knight Engineers & Architects said the developers are going through a “phase one process” that is federally required, and they are studying alternative routes.

“There’s a lot of oversight that goes into this,” he said.

Shipley and Pildes said the developers are coordinating with the Illinois Department of Transportation and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

Pildes said the wetland areas are under the jurisdiction of the USACE. “They will have the final say, and we will have to go through the process of permitting with them,” Pildes said.

Neill said the USACE and IDOT likely may require the developers to mitigate the loss of wetland communities.

However, scientific studies have shown that mitigated wetlands do not function the same as the original ones that were lost, he said.

“And that’s what could happen with this one,” he said.

JJC President Judy Mitchell said that if the proposed road were to go forward, it would be in the college’s interest to come up with a list of what it’d like to see and work with Cullinan Properties.

“This is so preliminary. …There’s nothing for the [Board of Trustees] to vote on right now because this is not impacting the college campus,” she said.

Plainfield Village Board OKs fire station redevelopment Trustees also approve new location for festival

By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – In the next couple years, people will be able to live or dine in a former fire station in downtown Plainfield.

On Monday, the Plainfield Village Board granted a special use permit for planned development of a mixed-use building at 15025 S. Des Plaines St., the former Plainfield Fire Protection District headquarters.

Developers plan to convert the sec-

ond level into six residential units while the first floor is transformed for commercial or restaurant use.

The plan includes the potential for a second phase in which the building would be added on to and would feature a similar arrangement, with four additional residential units.

The fire station is steps from downtown’s main strip of Lockport Street.

Interior demolition work is underway, according to board documents.

The station opened in 1950 and closed in 2009, when the fire district opened a new station on South Coil Plus Drive.

It was used as storage until it was sold in September.

The planned development authorizes a monument sign of up to 8 feet in

If you go n WHAT: Plainfield Fest n WHEN: June 14 through June 16 n WHERE: Riverfront Park and Gregory B. Bott Community Park height and 48 square feet in sign area, which is about twice the size of what normally is allowed downtown, according to zoning code.

The village’s staff report states that rental occupancy downtown is very high, and contact continues to come in from companies interested in locating downtown.

The total required parking for the

redevelopment would range from 51 to 123 spaces, according to board documents.

In other news, trustees also officially approved Plainfield Fest’s new location in Riverfront Park and Gregory B. Bott Community Park.

The event is scheduled for June 14 through June 16. Riverfront Foundation Executive Director Robert Epley presented a plan for the move March 13 because the fest simply has outgrown downtown.

The plan will need to be revisited if rain harms the park grounds in the weeks leading up to the fest, but Epley said he is confident in the backup plan of moving the beer tent from the riverfront to Fort Beggs Drive.

bokokn@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Joliet City Council candidates in the April 4 election introduced themselves to the business community Thursday.

The Joliet Region Chamber of Commerce & Industry held a meet-the-candidates luncheon, which 11 of the 15 candidates attended. One other submitted a statement to be read.

Below is a summary of the candidates’ statements and their responses when asked to name their top priority if elected.

• Brooke Hernandez Brewer noted that she has been a council member for five months since being appointed last year.

Noting she has two daughters,

Donald Dickinson

Jan Quillman

Brewer said, “I want to give them a city that makes them want to make the choice my husband and I made, which was to live in Joliet.”

Brewer said she wants the city to develop a pipeline to Indiana to draw Lake Michigan water in light of a predicted depletion of groundwater that Joliet now uses.

• Donald Dickinson pointed to his community involvement, including serving as past president of the Joliet Softball Association, a member of the Joliet Grade Schools Foundation board and Joliet Township High School District 204 Board member.

His priorities include expanding the police force and repaving neighborhood streets.

His top priority is “bringing better paying jobs to Joliet. We have so many warehouses. It’s just crazy. We need to get some good paying jobs.”

In a Changing World, Some Things Never Change In changing times, it’s good to know some things haven’t changed—like Rathbun, Cservenyak & Kozol’s commitment to aggressive, competent legal representation that gets results.

partner of Rathbun, Cservenyak & Kozol, LLC, has more than 30 years of experience in the practice of personal injury law involving people injured in all types of accidents and professional negligence.

• Jan Quillman said she has served on the City Council for 12 years in a period when Joliet has gone through hard times, and now it is in a growth stage that includes projects downtown, the future Houbolt Road bridge and “thousands of jobs” added to the city.

“It takes leadership, experience and a strong council to see these projects through,” Quillman said.

Quillman cited road repairs as a top priority.

• Michael Turk, also a current council member, noted his professional experience as an accountant and bookkeeper, and also pointed to a number of city projects in the works, including downtown redevelopment.

“Many great things are happening in Joliet,” Turk said.

His top priority is economic development, he said, because “without eco-

She retired from AT&T after 30 years and now is working for Illinois Action for Children.

Her top priority is oversight of the city’s pending acquisition of the Evergreen Terrace housing complex, and she said, “I would like to work on what happens next. What is the plan for the residents and buildings?”

• Diane Harris is a ComEd retiree who now works as an independent insurance agent. She also is a member of the Joliet Public Library board and vice president of the Cathedral Area Preservation Association.

Her goals include cleaning up the city’s main corridors and pursuing a treatment plant so the Des Plaines River can be used as a source of city water.

Architect David Mitchell said placing a window on the western wall would not fit well, as that is DNA’s main retail wall. He added that there are similar structures to the east with no openings such as brick columns.

“I think siding is a perfectly acceptable material to use in moderation,” Ruane said. “In this case, it’s an exception where it’s the entire side.”

He pointed out that the buildings to

the east were there before the village started investing heavily in the look of its downtown.

“This building is going to be here longer than all of us. We want to make sure it looks good and it’s going to fit,” Ruane said, adding that he wasn’t trying to hold up the process.

The board approved the site plan on two stipulations: that a legal agreement between neighboring property owners

regarding access to a garbage dumpster be provided to the village, and that additional openings – such as 2-foot columns – be added along the western side of the building.

Some trustees were more comfortable voting on the proposal with the stipulations, but Trustee Brian Wojowski voted against it. At a previous meeting, he was more in favor of a two-story building.

PLAINFIELD – The west end of Lockport Street in downtown Plainfield just east of the DuPage River is getting some considerable investment with plans for an urban market in the Trolley Barn.

But an empty lot next to it is getting some attention, too.

The Plainfield Village Board approved site plans Monday for a brandnew building that will go into the lot at 24210 W. Lockport St. and become the new home of DNA Athletics, a running shoe store in Crest Hill.

The original plans included a two-story building, but the applicants could not make it work financially. The board was presented with a revised one-story plan.

Trustee Tom Ruane noted that the village has put significant money into the downtown through facade grants and streetscape enhancements. And because of the offset of the new building, its west side would be exposed.

“That’s one of the first things you’d see when you drive into our downtown,” Ruane said. “We’re spending money on facades, and all you’re going to see is a wall of siding and two downspouts. I think that needs to be addressed.”

CREST HILL – The Crest Hill City Council has unanimously passed an amendment limiting how certain large properties can be developed in the city.

The zoning ordinance amendment dictates that properties 5 acres or larger zoned for business and manufacturing must be treated as planned unit developments, Interim City Administrator Heather McGuire said.

The change requires applicants to present a plan for an entire property rather than planning developments for specific parcels of a larger area.

“We want to ensure that any large pieces of land are developed in a comprehensive manner,” Mayor Ray Soliman said Wednesday, after the council voted Monday.

McGuire said Wednesday that the change is being made to avoid the recurrence of past issues related to division of property that arose when desirable parcels were developed on a piece of land and undesirable ones remained vacant on the same property.

McGuire also said a piecemeal approach to large property development can lead to incompatible land use and inadequate infrastructure.

For example, she said, the Crest Hill Business Park was developed about 20 years ago along Division Street west of Weber Road, and the detention ponds there were not big enough for the property in its current state, creating the potential for flooding.

The business park was developed in sections, drainage infrastructure was added as the park expanded, and now the park must work with the city to accommodate recent growth.

Blaskey named Joliet’s new deputy fire chief

By BRIAN STANLEY

bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A 30-year veteran has been named Joliet’s new deputy fire chief.

Greg Blaskey took over this month as the department’s second in command after the retirement of Ray Randich earlier this year.

“There were five very qualified internal candidates who applied for the position,” Fire Chief Joe Formhals said in a statement.

Blaskey brings with him experience in labor management issues and emergency management.

“I’d like to stay seven years, if I can,” Blaskey said Wednesday. “I love this job just as much today as I did 30 years ago.”

Blaskey said conceding to 9-to-5 shifts is a significant change for someone who has spent three decades working 24- and 48-hour rotations, but he believes his experiences in different positions and as a representative during contract negotiations and discipline issues will benefit the department.

In addition to moving through the

Joliet deputy fire chief ranks to captain, Blaskey also has been deputy director of the Joliet Emergency Management Agency.

“I think [the fire department] used to be a closer-knit group, and it doesn’t seem to be that way anymore,” Blaskey said. “I’d like to start a rebirth of that ‘brotherhood’ mentality, because this isn’t just a job, it’s a calling.”

Blaskey is a lifelong Joliet resident who attended Joliet West High School and Joliet Junior College. His two sons are police officers, and two of his cousins are Lockport Township firefighters.

bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A man who has been locked up in the Will County jail since an alleged gunfight last summer was indicted Tuesday on attempted murder charges for an earlier shooting.

Will County Sheriff’s Office spokeswoman Kathy Hoffmeyer said evidence testing linked one of the guns found with Damon L. Cook Jr., 25, on July 19 to shell casings recovered from where two men were shot four months earlier.

LOCAL BRIEF

Braidwood police: 2 charged after being found with crack, cash

were found with 0.8 grams of crack cocaine and about $270 in cash. During the course of the investigation, police also discovered that Skinner is a registered sex offender who failed to report his current address.

Tucker was charged with drug possession with intent to deal and drug possession, according to Will County jail records. Skinner was charged with manufacture James C. or delivery of drugs, drug Skinner possession and failing to register a new address as a sex offender.

– The Herald-News

Pruitte was arrested that day and still faces attempted murder charges, but Hoffmeyer said that although Cook was questioned by investigators, there was not enough evidence to charge him at the time.

On July 19, witnesses called police after seeing the occupants of “two vehicles shooting at each other” near Washington Street and Park Road in Joliet Township, Hoffmeyer said. Ten minutes later, deputies saw a Nissan Quest – which matched the description of one of the vehicles witnesses called

in – being fueled at a gas station near Collins and Jackson streets in Joliet.

Cook, Jubyris M. Jordan and Dameon McCullum-Smith, were arrested after police reportedly found two handguns and cocaine inside the car. A fourth man was released without being charged.

The month before he was shot, Marble testified against Christopher Thompson, who was charged with fatally shooting Gerardo Franchini on Aug. 13, 2013, inside Louis’ Family Restaurant in Joliet. Thompson was convicted of murder and sentenced to life in prison.

BRAIDWOOD – The Braidwood Police Department conducted a narcotics investigation Wednesday that resulted in the arrest of two repeat offenders, according to a department news release.

Jesse D. Tucker, 20, of the 1200 block of Ada Street in Joliet, and James C. Skinner, Jesse D. 35, of the 900 block of Tucker Phyllis Drive in Wilmington, were observed selling drugs at a local gas station, the news release said. The suspects

On March 8, 2016, Bernard Marble was conducting a drug deal with Damon Stonislaus outside Marble’s residence on Marcella Avenue in Joliet Township when Cook and Daeviontae D. Pruitte pulled up in a car, got out and opened fire, Hoffmeyer said. De- Damon L. tectives believe Marble Cook Jr. was the target of the ambush, but Stonislaus also was struck by bullets. Both men survived.

Chicago has biggest population dip in U.S. The ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHICAGO – The last straw that convinced Chicago native Marissa Marshall it was time to move away was hearing dangerously close gunfire in the rough neighborhood where she found affordable housing.

The 29-year-old, who’s pregnant with her fifth child, relocated about three years ago to a St. Louis suburb where she more easily found jobs and a home where she felt it was safe to send the kids outside.

“I have boys and I didn’t want to raise them in that environment,” Marshall said. “It is easier to go outside of Chicago to get help than stay in Chicago.”

New census data released Thursday shows she’s not alone, with the Chicago area losing more residents than any other U.S. metropolitan area.

The continuing decline coincided with other Midwestern areas, including St. Louis and Cleveland, as the South and Southwest regions of the country saw gains.

Two Texas metropolitan areas – Dallas and Houston – reported the biggest numeric increases between July 2015 and July 2016, adding more than 100,000 residents each.

There are wide-ranging reasons for the shifts, from families’ concerns about violence and schools to dwindling immigration and fertility rates.

But demographers said Thursday’s data also suggest the reanimation of a trend that paused during the recession – of Americans on the move from

Born: March 28, 1934; in Joliet, IL Died: March 22, 2017; in Joliet, IL James P. Walsh ”Jim” “Papou,” at the age of 82, passed away peacefully March 22, 2017 at the Joliet Area Community Hospice home with his family steadfastly by his side.

Born and raised in Joliet on March 28, 1934 to the late George and Theresa (nee Fox) Walsh. Jim attended Joliet Township High School, DeLaSalle High School in Chicago, IL and Joliet Junior College. He earned a Bachelors Degree in Business from Northern Illinois University and his Masters Degree in Business from the University of Chicago. He was a proud U.S.

A Chicago Transit Authority Green Line train travels west Thursday away from downtown Chicago. Census data shows the Chicago region has lost more residents than any other U.S. metropolitan area. the Snow Belt to the suburbs of big cities, and to the Sun Belt.

The Chicago area, which includes surrounding communities in Illinois, Indiana and Wisconsin, lost more than 19,500 residents in a year’s time.

Cook County, which encompasses Chicago, also led all counties in population drops, with about 21,300 fewer residents.

Trailing were Michigan’s Wayne County, where Detroit is located, with about 7,700 fewer residents; and Baltimore County, which lost more than 6,700 residents.

Meanwhile, Arizona’s Maricopa County had the highest annual population increase, gaining more than 81,000 residents, followed by Harris County in Texas and Nevada’s Clark County.

Families leaving Chicago cite the nearly-broke city school system that’s closed more than 50 schools since 2013 and a soaring violent crime rate with more than 760 homicides last year, the most in two decades.

City demographics experts add in long-standing economic trends such as fewer entry level jobs and a

Army Veteran serving his country from 1954 - 1956 before being Honorably Discharged. A member and Past President of the Parish Council of All Saints Greek Orthodox Church and a member of the AHEPA Society, American Legion Post 1080, Member of the Old Timers Baseball Association, Boy Scouts of America, Member of the Grocers Association, and the Supermarket Operations Instructor at College of DuPage, a Guest Lecturer at Lewis University, an Instructor of Business at Joliet Junior College, a Member of The High School Distributive Education Advisory Council. Jim earned numerous achievements, awards and accolades during his career earning the respect and overall regard of his colleagues.

He could be firm, but always fair, if challenged he could respond in a very wise way. Always on top of things, tough but ultimately fair. A natural born leader able to bring out the best in people and inspire them. He showed passionate dedication and enthusiasm for his work with his beloved church.

Jim’s greatest love and joy in his life was his wife of 57 years, Margie and his beloved grandchildren. Jim was a loving and devoted father of his special sons, George K. (Edith) and James R. Walsh; cherished Papou of Zakkary Warsaw, Zoe and Abigail Walsh. His sister-in-law, Margo Passas; and many nieces and nephews also survive.

Preceded in death by his parents, George A. (1953) and Theresa (1945); five brothers, Robert (1966), Donald, Leo (1980), John “Jack” (2002) and Fr. David Walsh, O’Carm (1995); his cherished in-laws, George J. (1962) and Helen (1995) Passas.

He did a lot of good things for many people, never seeking recognition or talking about it.

Jim was blessed with integrity and humility, a great mentor, philanthropist and friend. We will mourn the loss of him and celebrate his life and good works. Our hearts are broken at the loss of our beloved Jim, the man we respected and loved so much. A loving and giving person who

sagging industrial core, along with the dismantling of dense neighborhood-based public housing.

Lower immigration rates also have affected the Chicago region’s dwindling population.

Immigration, particularly from Mexico, was the key factor behind most of Chicago’s population growth in the 1990s.

In Illinois, the population decline has been ripe fodder for political battles.

The predominantly Democratic state’s first Republican governor in a decade, Bruce Rauner, has repeatedly blamed historic fiscal mismanagement and a lack of business-friendly laws for the decline, with companies choosing to set up shop in Texas and Florida over Illinois. In return, Democrats in charge have pointed fingers at nearly two years of state budget gridlock during the Republican’s tenure.

Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s office on Thursday called the decline a trend across the Midwest but blamed Illinois politics for exacerbating it and creating fiscal instability.

Demographics experts said one of the drivers behind the population change around the country could be more young people moving than before.

Young people are historically more likely to move around, but the recession put the brakes on the migration.

Millennials, roughly 25- to 35-yearolds, have moved at lower rates than their predecessors, including Generation-Xers, according to a Pew Research Center analysis last month.

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS turn in a case that had stoked Jury gets case in trial of Penn State’s ex-president fears of rising anti-Semitism in

HARRISBURG, Pa. – Attorneys for Penn State ex-President Graham Spanier declined to call any witnesses Thursday to counter accusations that he acted illegally in handling a 2001 complaint about Jerry Sandusky showering with a boy, sending the case to jurors for deliberation.

Spanier attorney Sam Silver argued there was “no evidence at all,” saying the case involved judgment calls by high-ranking university administrators in dealing with the complaint that Sandusky, a retired assistant football coach, had been seen naked with the boy in a team locker room.

“They made judgment calls,” Silver said. “They did not engage in crimes. They did not enter in a conspiracy.”

Laura Ditka with the state attorney general’s office said Spanier, former athletic director Tim Curley and former vice president Gary Schultz took actions to preserve the school and their own reputations, at the expense of children.

the U.S. The surprising arrest of the man, a hacker who holds dual Israeli and American citizenship, came after a trans-Atlantic investigation with the FBI and other international law enforcement agencies. U.S. Jewish groups welcomed the breakthrough in the case, which drawn condemnation from President Donald Trump.

Israeli police described the suspect as a hacker, but said his motives were still unclear.

WASHINGTON – Abandoning negotiations, President Donald Trump demanded a make-or-break vote on health care legislation in the House, threatening to leave “Obamacare” in place and move on to other issues if Friday’s vote fails.

The risky move, part gamble and part threat, was presented to GOP lawmakers behind closed doors Thursday night after a long and intense day that saw a planned vote on the health care bill scrapped as the legislation remained short of votes amid cascading negotiations among conservative lawmakers, moderates and others.

At the end of it the president had had enough and was ready to vote and move on, whatever the result, Trump’s budget director Mick Mulvaney told lawmakers. “’Negotiations are over, we’d like to vote tomorrow and let’s get this done for the American people.’ That was it,” Rep. Duncan Hunter of California said as he left the meeting, summarizing Mulvaney’s message to lawmakers.

“Let’s vote,” White House chief strategist Steve Bannon said as he walked out.

“For seven and a half years we have been promising the American people that we will repeal and replace this broken law because it’s collapsing and it’s failing families, and tomorrow we’re proceeding,” House Speaker Paul Ryan said, then walked off without answering as reporters demanded to know whether the bill had the votes to pass.

The outcome of Friday’s vote was impossible to predict. Both conservative and moderate lawmakers had claimed the bill lacked votes after a long day of talks. But the White House appeared ready to gamble that the

“It’s done tomorrow. Or ‘Obamacare’ stays,” said Rep. Chris Collins, R-N.Y., a top Trump ally in the House.

Collins was among those predicting success Friday, but others didn’t hide their anxiety about the outcome.

Asked whether Republicans would be unified on Friday’s vote, freshman Rep Matt Gaetz of Florida said, “I sure hope so, or we’ll have the opportunity to watch a unified Democratic caucus impeach Donald Trump in two years when we lose the majority.”

Thursday’s maneuvers added up to high drama on Capitol Hill, but Friday promised even more suspense with the prospect of leadership putting a major bill on the floor uncertain about whether it would pass or fail.

The Republican legislation would halt Obama’s tax penalties against people who don’t buy coverage and cut the federal-state Medicaid program for low earners, which the Obama statute had expanded. It would provide tax credits to help people

pay medical bills, although generally skimpier than Obama’s statute provides. It also would allow insurers to charge older Americans more and repeal tax boosts the law imposed on high-income people and health industry companies.

The measure also would block federal payments to Planned Parenthood for a year, another stumbling block for GOP moderates.

In a concession to the conservative House Freedom Caucus, many of whose members have withheld support, the legislation would repeal requirements for insurers to cover “essential health benefits” such as maternity care and substance abuse treatment.

The drama unfolded seven years to the day after Obama signed his landmark law, an anniversary GOP leaders meant to celebrate with a vote to undo the divisive legislation. “Obamacare” gave birth to the tea party movement and helped Republicans win and keep control of Congress and then take the White House.

Instead, as GOP leaders were forced to delay the vote Thursday, C-SPAN filled up the time playing footage of Obama signing the Affordable Care Act.

Lessons from Penn State Had two former Penn State University officials done the right thing, some children might have been spared the ongoing pain of having been sexually abused.

Apparently, the university’s football program was more important to the two.

Former Penn State Vice President Gary Schultz, 67, and former Athletic Director Tim Curley, 62, pleaded guilty to misdemeanor child endangerment in court.

Each faces as much as five years in prison or, depending what a judge decides, they could get as little as probation.

Their cases are linked to that of former football coaching staff member Jerry Sandusky, who is serving a long prison term for molesting 10 boys. The full list of his victims is much longer.

Curley and Schultz’s cases are being resolved more than five years after the Sandusky scandal broke. One wonders why it took Pennsylvania authorities so long to resolve the matter.

While in their Penn State positions, the two men were among those who in 2001 received a complaint by a university graduate assistant. He said he witnessed Sandusky molesting a boy in a shower used by the team.

But the two – and, allegedly, former Penn State President Graham Spanier – swept the complaint under the carpet.

That allowed Sandusky to spend the next 10 years victimizing more children.

The legendary Joe Paterno, Penn State’s football coach for many years, lost his job over the scandal.

He died a few months after Sandusky was arrested.

Curley and Schultz failed to protect children under the requirements of the law, and that is why they face prison terms.

Educators work under similar mandates regarding abuse or neglect of children that comes to their attention.

Frequently, predators who go to prison in our states have educators who blew the whistle on them to thank.

It is a matter of priorities, we suppose.

Either the welfare of children is your top priority – or it isn’t.

Those who think something else is more important belong behind bars.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

ANOTHER VIEW

King’s hate an opportunity for GOP Rep. Steve King’s rampant racism is an opportunity for Iowa Republicans and the party at large. Exorcise the nationalist bent before it’s too late.

The House should make an example of King, and Iowa GOP should be actively seeking a candidate to oust him in next year’s primary.

King’s Sunday tweet, in support of a right-wing Dutch nationalist, Geert Wilders, laid bare that which has infected the party of Lincoln for far too long.

“Wilders understands that culture and demographics are our destiny.

We can’t restore our civilization with somebody else’s babies,” King tweeted, a direct shot at Muslim refugees and their children.

King has made a career out of nibbling the edges of white supremacy.

Such inflammatory speech is what gets him on national TV talk shows. He’s not serving Iowa’s 4th Congressional District. And thanks to his lust for attention, King serves as a self-appointed representative for Iowa.

It’s through his actions that the nation sees us.

Many prominent Republicans rightly decried King’s initial statement. They no doubt fumed as he went on CNN and doubled-down.

“First of all, I do not agree with Congressman King’s statement. We are a nation of immigrants, and diversity is the strength of any nation and any community,” Iowa GOP Chairman Jeff Kaufmann said in a statement.

Kaufmann took an even harder swing at former KKK Grand Wizard David Duke, who was, unsurprisingly, overjoyed by King’s declaration.

“Regarding David Duke, his words and sentiments are absolute garbage. He is not welcome in our wonderful state,” Kaufmann said.

Gov. Terry Branstad and governor-in-waiting Kim Reynolds correctly smacked King for his outright bigotry. Strong words are welcome.

But action is necessary. Unchecked, this strain of right-wing nationalism will consume the party. It’s already threatening political orders throughout the West, the very civilization that King claims he wants to save.

Like so many others, King is obviously emboldened by the rise of Pres-

ident Donald Trump. He’s dropped the thin veil that had cloaked his prejudice. Trump might not like to admit it, but the go-to dog whistles that propelled his campaign spoke directly to the hard right’s notion of racial purity and a civilization under siege from the others. That’s why Duke and his ilk are suddenly relevant again. It’s why Jews are suddenly under threat.

This is not the rhetoric of your father’s GOP, the party of reason and Reagan. It is, however, the same disgusting drivel that was thrown at Irish, Polish and Italian immigrants a century ago. It’s fear and weakness masquerading as strength.

King should be censured in the House. His bigotry is protected speech. But the First Amendment does not shield him from professional consequences. And next year, King should face a strong opponent in the GOP primary, one with full backing of the state party. King’s breed of hate-filled nationalism is a threat to the GOP. But it’s also an opportunity to rebuke such gutlessness in the strongest possible terms.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Herald-News All-Area Wrestling Team

By CURT HERRON

cherron@shawmedia.com Sorting through the list of the 142 sectional qualifiers who were considered for this season’s 33-man Herald-News All-Area Wrestling Team was, not surprisingly, a real challenge.

Unlike some all-area teams that just recognize the top medalist at each weight class, this squad involves several other factors beside an individual’s finish in the state series.

While all-staters earn spots on the

team, others can make it based on their season-long work, which includes victories, winning percentage, tournament finishes, level of competition and my observations.

I also don’t select a wrestler of the year. This year’s captains of the all-area team are the three state champions from area schools. Providence Catholic’s Jacob Lindsey, Plainfield East’s Michael McGee and Lockport’s Trevell Timmons. Beside McGee and Timmons, there are three other three-time members of the squad. They are Lockport’s

Abdullah Assaf, Lemont’s Egan Berta and Lincoln-Way West’s Jake Dudeck.

Being selected for a second time are Morris’ Cody Baldridge, Bolingbrook’s Dylan Burnoski, Plainfield Central’s Jared Ellingwood, Coal City’s Alex Friddle, Peotone’s Chandler Gartner, Coal City’s Jake Hiles, Providence’s Lindsey and Cole Smith and Lockport’s Ronald Tucker.

There are 21 all-staters who were selected for the team, including four other state finalists. The combined record for the squad members is 1,310-210, an im-

pressive .862 winning percentage. Twothirds of the selections recorded 39 or more wins this season.

Seventeen seniors, five juniors, nine sophomores and two freshmen are being recognized. Class 3A state champion Lockport leads the way with eight selections, while Coal City has six, Lemont three and Bolingbrook, Lincoln-Way West, Plainfield North, Providence and Wilmington each have two.

A total of 14 schools are represented.

PREP SOFTBALL: PLAINFIELD EAST SEASON PREVIEW

Plainfield East poised to keep moving forward

By DENNIS NELSON

Shaw Media correspondent PLAINFIELD – Sustained success. It’s becoming the mantra for the Plainfield East softball program.

The Bengals went 23-7 and won the Southwest Prairie Conference championship a year after capturing their second regional title in 2015. What’s in store for 2017?

“If we can follow the same track and guidelines we believe in, I think we can be really competitive,” said East’s Chris Morris, the only coach the program has known. “It’s about how we conduct ourselves and how we practice. I don’t know where that’s going to take us, but we’ll see.”

That has taken the Bengals from the program’s infancy to a perennial challenger, not only in the SPC but the regional tournament as well.

“Things are going really well from what I envisioned for this program,” Morris said. “I see us taking that next step, which is our goal. We’ve won two regional titles, now it’s time to take it a step further and get into a sectional championship and take our chances.”

Increasing the Bengals’ chance for

BENGALS 2016 record: 23-7 overall, 12-2 in the Southwest Prairie Conference Coach: Chris Morris (eighth season) Returning regulars: Seniors Bianca Vozenilek, Hannah Kalnicky and Peyton Loesch; juniors Amberly Rodriguez, Callie Dutton and Gina Followell; sophomore Lauren Urbanski.

Outlook: Plainfield East has experienced sustained success, winning the Southwest Prairie Conference in 2016 and its second regional title in 2015. Senior pitcher Bianca Vozenilek, senior shortstop Hannah Kalnicky and senior first baseman Peyton Loesch want to take the program to bigger and better heights. success are three seniors – pitcher Bianca Vozenilek, shortstop Hannah Kalnicky and first baseman Peyton Loesch.

Vozenilek went 19-3 with a 1.38 ERA and 220 strikeouts in 157 innings, in 2016. She also hit five home runs.

Kalnicky, who has spent her entire career at shortstop, hit .404 with 24 RBIs and 30 runs scored as the Bengals’ leadoff hitter a season ago. All Loesch did was hit .420 with three homers, 10

doubles and a team-best 36 RBIs. “Bianca’s been our No. 1 pitcher the last couple of years. Hannah has been great at keeping things where they need to be for us to have a chance to be successful and Peyton has been a clutch hitter and great teammate,” Morris said.

“I’ve already had girls call meetings with other players to explain to them how things are done and to understand what it takes for us to be successful. It’s huge that those kids take that initiative.”

Senior outfielders Melissa Mazurkiewicz and Gabby Hoffman, junior outfielders Amberly Rodriguez and Gina Followell, junior third baseman/ catcher Callie Dutton and sophomore second baseman Lauren Urbanski also return with plenty of experience from last year.

“Amberly always leads by example and is becoming more vocal and Gabby has been a great leader for our program,” Morris said. “We have a lot of interchangeable parts, which is great during practices. We have a lot of kids who can play a lot of different positions, which is good.”

Juniors Kira Hall Risor, Kaitlin Novak, Brynn Hagadus and Kayley

Perkins and sophomores Bella Battaglia, Alyssa Dyhr and Abbey Smith round out the Bengals’ roster.

“I think the younger kids are buying in,” Morris said. “And, I’m really trying this year to be a better coach.

I’m always looking for things to better myself. I don’t think we’ve been as connected throughout the program as I would like to be. I’m trying to put things in place for the freshman players to have a connection with the seniors.”

Pitching and defense will be among the Bengals’ strengths.

“The strength of our team is going to be our pitching and our defense,” Morris said. “We really leaned on those things last year, and we did just enough on offense, except for the playoffs. That’s one of the things I’m hoping we can work on and improve so we can put up some numbers this season to help our pitchers and defense.”

The SPC has been improving of late, and this year it could be at its toughest yet.

“I will be shocked if the winner of the conference doesn’t finish with three or four losses,” Morris said.

“The conference is going to be extremely difficult this year.”

SUBMITTED REPORT

sustained a serious injury during a game, said in a letter introducing the organization. “As almost all children do, they want the opportunity to participate in sports, to feel the camaraderie of being a part of a team.

“For some, it is their only freedom outside a wheelchair or walker.”

The goals of the Hornets Sled Hockey Team and those of the Blackhawks Warriors are similar.

The Blackhawks Warriors hockey team, sponsored in part by the Chicago Blackhawks, is made up of military veteran who have been injured in combat. The team is one method for these injured veterans to get back into sports and, by so doing, return to a life of normalcy.

“Our staff and players are excited to play this Sunday with the Black-

hawks Warriors,” said Dan Ciszek, manager of the Jaguars Midget Major team. “We were lucky enough to play the Chicago Blackhawks Special Hockey Team earlier this season, and the boys had a blast. I think they are really honored to be playing in such a special event one last time together as a team.”

By hosting these benefit games, the Jaguar Hockey Club hopes to provide support for both organizations, raise awareness of the teams and to continue the hockey tradition of giving back to others in the hockey community. Donations will be accepted throughout the evening and a silent auction will be held.

Admission is free. Additional information is available at www.jaguarhockeyclub.com

NCAA TOURNAMENT ROUNDUP

Ducks end Michigan’s run with 69-68 victory, head to Elite 8 The ASSOCIATED PRESS KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Tyler Dorsey’s teammates call him “Mr. March.”

Yeah, that fits.

Dorsey scored 20 points and made the go-ahead layup with 1:08 left, and third-seeded Oregon held on to end No. 7 Michigan’s dramatic postseason run with a 69-68 victory in a Midwest Regional semifinal on Thursday night.

“We lean on him right now,” the Ducks’ Dylan Ennis said. “He’s playing his best basketball, and it’s coming at the right time.”

Dorsey’s recent surge has been timely for sure. He’s scored 20 or more points in six straight games, a stretch that has seen Pac-12 player of the year Dillon Brooks struggle with his shot.

Oregon didn’t have the win secured until Derrick Walton Jr., who had carried the Wolverines the last three weeks, was off with his long jumper just before the buzzer.

For the Ducks (32-5), it’s on to the Elite Eight for the second straight year.

For the Wolverines (26-12), it was the end of a wild ride.

“The kids fought their hearts out this whole season,” Michigan coach John Beilein said, “but particularly this last six weeks to be more than a story. It was a great team. They were becoming a great team before the story. We weren’t sharp as we would have liked to have been today, but you have to credit Oregon with that.”

Jordan Bell had a double-double for the Ducks, with 16 points and 13 rebounds. Brooks added 12 points and Ennis had 10.

Walton led the Wolverines with 20 points, eight assists and five rebounds. Zak Irvin had 14 of his 19 points in the second half and DJ Wilson had 12 points.

The Ducks’ run to the regional final has come without big man Chris Boucher, who went out in the Pac-12 Tournament semifinals with a season-ending knee injury. Oregon had plenty of inside game without Boucher, outscoring the Wolverines, 34-16, in the paint and outrebounding them, 36-31.

Its biggest play in the post came after Walton had made a jumper to give Michigan a 68-65 lead. Ennis got fouled and went to the line for a oneand-one. He missed, and Bell swooped in for the offensive rebound and put it in to make it a one-point game.

“We have a play that we practice on, if one of us misses a free throw.

We executed it perfectly,” Bell said.

After Walton missed a layup on the other end, Dorsey gave the Ducks the lead.

Ennis missed another free throw with 15 seconds left, giving Michigan one more chance. Oregon had two fouls to give and wanted to use them so Michigan would have to inbound the ball. The Ducks couldn’t get it done, though, and Walton was able to put up one more shot.

“We were supposed to foul,” Oregon coach Dana Altman said. “Dylan

Ennis had an opportunity there. I was a little upset that he didn’t. Fortunately the ball didn’t go in.”

Up next: Oregon plays Kansas or Purdue in a regional final Saturday.

Gonzaga 61, West Virginia 58: At San Jose, Calif., Jordan Mathews hit the go-ahead 3-pointer with under a minute to play and top-seeded Gonzaga survived a rough shooting night for both teams to beat No. 4 seed West Virginia Thursday night to advance to the West Regional final.

On a night that featured 51 fouls and only 34 made baskets, Mathews delivered the big shot that sent the Bulldogs (35-1) to their third Elite Eight in school history.

It didn’t come easily. West Virginia (29-8) had three shots to tie the game but Tarik Phillip missed a shot from the lane and Jevon Carter missed two 3-pointers after Silas Melson made one foul shot. The Mountaineers rebound both misses but couldn’t get another shot off before the buzzer.

Despite shooting 26.7 percent for the game, West Virginia stayed close and took a 58-55 lead on a 3-pointer

by Carter with 1:47 to play. Nigel Williams-Goss answered with two free throws.

After Daxter Miles Jr. missed two fouls shots and Nathan Adrian was blocked by Josh Perkins on the putback, Williams-Goss found Mathews in the corner for the open 3-pointer that proved the game-winner.

Mathews, Przemek Karnowski

and Johnathan Williams all had 13 points to lead the Bulldogs.

Carter led the Mountaineers with 21 points.

The game was tied at 30 after a first half that was far from an aesthetic masterpiece with 27 fouls and just 16 baskets. The teams combined for 29 percent shooting, including 2 for 16 from 3-point range.

The Bulldogs created some space early in the second when Mathews hit 3s on consecutive trips and added a free throw for a four-point play on the second to make it 41-34. But the Mountaineers fought back and the game stayed tight until the end.

Big picture: West Virginia: The Mountaineers could get nothing going offensively most of the night but a pair of 3-pointers by Carter in the second half helped them fight back from an eight-point deficit to briefly take the lead in the second half. The rest of the team made just 10 baskets all game.

Gonzaga: The Bulldogs struggled to get into their offense all game. When they managed to beat the Mountaineers relentless press, they couldn’t capitalize in the halfcourt. WCC Player of the Year Williams-Goss was held to 10 points on 2-for-10 shooting with five turnovers and was sent to the bench for a stretch with four fouls after committing two pushoffs on the offensive end.

Up next: Gonzaga plays the winner of the game between second-seeded Arizona and No. 11 seed Xavier for a spot in the Final Four.

JOLIET – When the Jaguar Hockey Club’s teams takes to the ice on Sunday, the final score won’t matter.

But the outcome will be all important.

The Jaguars will host back-toback benefit games at Inwood Ice Arena beginning at 6:15 p.m., with the Jaguars Bantam 1 team taking on the Hornets Youth Sled Hockey Team. That game will be followed by a game between the Jaguars Midget Major team and the Blackhawks Warriors, scheduled to begin at around 7:20 p.m.

The Hornets provide an opportunity, at no cost, for any individual with a physical disability to participate in the sport of ice hockey. The

only difference is these players use special equipment when they play.

Players sit in specially designed sleds mounted atop hockey skate blades. Instead of a single stick, they use two that are equipped on the butt ends with metal picks to propel themselves across the ice.

The Hornets are funded entirely though donations from organizations such as the Chicago Blackhawk Charities, through benefit games like the one the Jaguars are hosting Sunday and from private donations.

“The Hornets Sled Hockey Team consists of a great group of kids ages 5 to 20 who have physical disabilities, yet are determined to play ice hockey,” J.J. O’Connor, general manager and founder of the Hornets, and himself a former hockey player who

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

JOLIET – Like many people, I’ve accumulated an assortment of unrelated facts.

Most of them pertain to knowledge I picked up while home-schooling my kids and writing for The Herald-News.

Mixed into that is some theology and the research required for writing fiction, my sole hobby.

It’s hardly the stuff that will endear me to a dedicated trivia team – or so I thought.

So when Mark Turk, president for the Joliet Township High Schools Foundation, asked me to play trivia at one of his tables for the foundation’s annual trivia event March 12, I initially balked. But he encouraged me, saying that The Herald-News used to have its own team. Furthermore, team members brainstorm each answer.

Oh, and bring a friend or two.

As the features editor for The Herald-News, I’ve noticed trivia is immensely popular as a fundraising event.

So I asked Editor Jon Styf if I could report on this phenomenon by actually playing. He said yes.

Why trivia?

Turk, who doesn’t play, wasn’t quite certain. He did know that Dennis Yohnka (deceased), former reporter and JTHS District 204 spokesman, had seen it played at a club in southern Illinois, thought it was a fun idea and suggested it to the foundation.

“The first one began with 30 people,” Turk said. “It’s now grown to 40 tables of 10 each or 400 people.”

The event is at 176 W. 1100 N.E. Frontage Road in Joliet, the only venue in town able to accommodate the event because of the large number of people who play, Turk said. A committee decides the theme and questions, which remain secret until game time.

“Even I don’t know what they are,” Turk said.

Proceeds from the trivia fundraiser are typically between $7,000 and $8,000, Turk said. That, along with money raised from endowments and the annual golf outing in June, contribute a significant amount of resources toward District 204.

“We produce 23,000 dollars in grants, 26,000 dollars in scholarships, 6,000 to the principal’s emergency fund for kids that don’t have money for sports and lunch, and will help supply funding for testing and summer school,” Turk said.

Other organizations find trivia successful, too.

For instance, Laurie and Mike

Denise M. Baran–Unland – dunland@shawmedia.com

Lee Holmes of St. Charles, Joliet attorney George Stuhr and his wife, Lea Stuhr, and retired meteorologist Jim Kaplan discuss answer possibilities.

Knick, who have two children – ages 10 and 8 – attending St. Mary Nativity School in Joliet, have hosted a trivia fundraiser the past two years to pay for school improvements.

Laurie said their efforts raised $4,300 last year and $6,000 this year, which Laurie attributes to a greater amount and variety of raffle and door prizes this year.

“We had over 50 raffle baskets,” she said.

Jason Buckholtz, program manager for the village of Romeoville Parks & Recreation Department, said the Romeoville Trivia Challenge on March 31 is a yearly event that raises money for youth scholarships.

Questions for earlier challenges focused only on Romeoville. In later challenges, Romeoville history became one category of many. It’s not even on the list for this year’s event, Buckholtz said.

“The newer people in town felt the older people had an advantage,” he said.

Joliet attorney Vince Portlock, who plays “a fair amount” of trivia and is the contact person for the Kiwanis Club of Joliet Trivia Night on April 29, feels trivia fundraisers have several benefits: they’re casual, inexpensive and contained. Few last more than two or three hours.

“It’s just a fun social event,” Portlock said.

members – all of whom I felt certain were trivia gods compared to me – I settled at my table and introduced myself.

In addition to my youngest children, Rebekah Baran, 23, and Daniel Baran, 21, my trivia comrades were: Jim Kaplan, a retired meteorologist for the National Weather Service in Romeoville; Mike Danielson, a Joliet Central High School alumnus; Joliet attorney George Stuhr and his wife, Lea Stuhr; Lee Holmes of St. Charles; Bob Robson of Elwood; and Matt Malone of Lombard.

Kaplan jotted our answers. Even with the expert help of Holmes and Malone, who said he plays trivia weekly, hardly a round passed where one of us didn’t toss out $5 to “buy” an answer.

I felt proud for my occasional quick responses, including correctly identifying the show that built an episode around aliens, missing thumbs and walnuts: “The Dick Van Dyke Show.”

Guest star: Danny Thomas.

During intermission, Daniel and Malone began a lively discussion on what did and did not constitute classic TV – they both felt “House” and “Gray’s Anatomy” should be disqualified – and wondered why “Dr. Who” didn’t make the cut.

But it was Rebekah who blew ev-

eryone away with her “Ooooh! Oooh” answer to the very last question: What show created the spin-off, “Here Comes Honey Boo Boo?” The answer: “Toddlers and Tiaras.”

And just how did she know that?

“Watching a YouTube clip about ‘Top 10 Worst TV Shows on TLC,’” Rebekah said.

34 Healthy don’t need to take glutathione Dear Doctor: I’ve been seeing advertisements for glutathione, saying the supplement enhances the body’s cells. The ads also say the claims haven’t been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. What can you tell me about it?

Dear Reader: Glutathione is an antioxidant produced in the body through enzymatic reactions, using the amino acids cysteine, L-glutamic acid and glycine. It helps repair cells damaged by pollution, stress and other harmful influences, and it is undeniably important.

Mice unable to form glutathione will die before birth. Mice that have been genetically altered to not produce glutathione in the liver will die after one month. People with mutations in the enzymes that form glutathione are more susceptible to oxidative stress. The deficiency in the production of glutathione leads to the breakdown of red blood cells, enlargement of the spleen, gall stones, and after many years can lead to mental deterioration. Also, these patients are more prone to severe anemia when exposed to certain chemicals or drugs.

Less is known about glutathione’s use as a general supplement, although it has been evaluated by the FDA for AIDS-related weight loss. People with AIDS have reduced production of glutathione in the intestine, and supplementation with glutathione could help in the ability to digest food.

Glutathione also has been studied in cystic fibrosis patients. Decreased glutathione in their intestines can lead to inflammation of the intestine, pain, decreased absorption of food, weight loss and growth failure.

A 2015 study published in the Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition found supplementation with glutathione three times a day with meals has been shown to decrease intestinal inflammation and improve growth in children with cystic

SUDOKU

ASK THE DOCTORS Robert Ashley fibrosis.

Other research assessed glutathione’s effect on people with vascular disease of the arteries that go to the legs. Decreased blood flow can lead to calf pain when walking, but the study found that glutathione given intravenously twice a day helped ease patient symptoms. Because you’re presumably healthy, you’re unlikely to have any deficiency in the production of glutathione. If you’re interested in improving your body’s ability to recover from exercise by enhancing your muscles’ ability to heal, that’s a different question. People who exercise vigorously create oxidative free radicals, which can lead to muscle fatigue and decrease muscle performance – suggesting that an antioxidant may be helpful.

However, people who exercise regularly naturally produce more antioxidants in the muscles to prevent damage, possibly in response to the regular formation of oxidative free radicals. Regardless, the body takes care of itself without the need of a supplement.

As of yet, there is no good study of the use of glutathione in healthy people. Some nutritionists recommend increasing the intake of the amino acids cysteine and glutamate, which make glutathione, but this hasn’t been studied, either.

At this point, I would not recommend taking glutathione. If you’re healthy, your body should produce an adequate amount of this important antioxidant.

that the cool reception they have given your husband is harmful not only to him but also to you? If you have and they still are unable to warm up to him, it’s time to concentrate your efforts on building closer relationships with those relatives who are willing to be more welcoming.

Remember, we can’t change other people. We can, however, change ourselves, and by doing so, change the way we react to them.

Dear Abby: I have a family dilemma. We employ our 16-year-old niece to watch our boys, ages 8 and 10, during the summer and school breaks. We pay her well to come to our home and watch them eight hours a day.

My problem is, her younger brother is my son’s best friend. He gets invited to their house for a sleepover the day before we need a sitter, and both boys go. Then the next day their mom says our niece watched them, and therefore she should get paid for that day, too. Abby, the mom is there all day.

To me, a cousin sleepover isn’t something that should be charged for. Their children have come to our house for years for sleepovers, and I never charged them.

Is this OK? And if not, how do we refuse? We already have told her we prefer the boys to be watched at our home, so they receive one-on-one time. What do you think about this? – Cousin

lost my husband a few years ago and am now remarried. Some of my adult children, although they did not want me to be alone and they “say” they are happy for me, have been slow in welcoming my new husband.

I in no way expect him to be a replacement for their father. I only wish they would welcome him into their lives as they would anyone else’s spouse. They don’t have to love him. I ask only that they respect him and acknowledge that he’s part of my life now. Wishing him a happy birthday and happy holidays directly would go a long way to making him feel accepted, as would more general communication.

He has tried on numerous occasions to show an interest in their lives, but he receives little acknowledgment in return. His children have welcomed me into their lives. This has strained and changed my relationship with my children.

I just want a family again. Is it asking too much of them to accept my husband as part of the family and to treat him that way? – Missing

SATURDAY HOROSCOPE

By EUGENIA LAST

Newspaper Enterprise Association TODAY – Lie low and get things done. Let your work speak for you. Stay away from unpredictable individuals offering empty promises and wanting too much in return. Work toward your goals and do not let others have a glimpse of what you are doing prematurely. Timing is everything.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Dig in and don’t stop until you are happy with the results you get.

Don’t leave anything to chance or someone else’s discretion. Pay attention to detail.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Dig in and get things done. Focus on events that will allow you to schmooze with co-workers, or plan to engage in

something with children or seniors.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Channel your energy wisely and refrain from getting mixed up in gossip or emotional situations that will put you in a precarious position. Concentrate on completion, not expansion.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Express your feelings and find out exactly where you stand. Share your concerns and plans with someone who has more experience or something to contribute. A day trip or meeting looks promising.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Don’t put pressure on anyone. Do your own thing and keep a close eye on your money and possessions. It’s better to be safe than sorry. Choose not to argue.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Handle relationships

and emotional matters honestly. Don’t make assumptions and ask questions and get the truth before you take action. Choose to be innovative instead of indulgent.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Refuse to let personal matters become complicated. Keep an open mind and share your thoughts. Do your best to make adjustments that will encourage equality.

Romance will improve your life.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – You’ll be at a creative high. Tune in to the feelings of a loved one and nurture important relationships. Possessiveness will not become you. A romantic interlude will be a highlight of the day.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Refrain from taking on too much or expecting the impossible.

Be realistic if you want to find a way to reach your goals and add greater security to your life.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Stay focused on your goals and work alone to avoid being taken for granted. Problems will arise while traveling if a personal document is out of date. Take better care of your health.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Express your concerns and make suggestions. Offering your help will result in an unexpected reward. Financial gain, or a gift or proposition will come from an unusual source.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Don’t let emotions lead you astray. Your perception of a situation should be questioned and your motives evaluated. Honesty will help you avoid making a mistake.

Anne Bronte said, “There is always a ‘but’ in this imperfect world.”

In today’s deal, North-South reach an imperfect contract, but it can still be made. What is the ideal contract, and how should South play in four hearts after West begins with three rounds of spades?

If South had been allowed to see his partner’s hand, he would have passed out three no-trump (or North, if given X-ray vision, would have raised straight to three no-trump).

That contract would have cruised home with an overtrick.

When East played high-low at the first two tricks, West was happy to continue with a third round, knowing that his partner must have the queen.

(He would not have signaled a doubleton when he had no trumps.)

Declarer did not wonder why West had failed to shift to a club, its being so rarely right to lead a suit when dummy is void in it. If he had, he might have deduced the bad trump break.

South ruffed the third spade on the board and played a heart. When East discarded, declarer had to concede down one, losing two spades, one heart and one club.

After South finished grumbling about the 5-0 break, North pointed out the inference from the third round of spades, then pointed out that by discarding a club from the dummy at trick three, declarer could have almost assured his contract.

Whatever East did -- win with the queen or ruff -- South could have taken the fourth trick, drawn trumps and claimed.

A loser-on-loser play is one of the most difficult to spot.
