Several races still too close to call until final vote count on April 18

By BOB OKON

bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Election night didn’t settle anything for a few races where thin margins left candidates waiting until an April 18 final vote count to find out if they won or lost.

A couple of mayoral races, the Joliet park board election and the contest for Bolingbrook village clerk all could be considered too close to call as of Wednesday.

Late arriving mail-in votes and provisional ballots still need to be counted, meaning razor-thin leads are at risk.

No lead is thinner than Bolingbrook Village Clerk Carol Penning’s one-vote margin of apparent victory over Jaime J. Olson. Penning so far has 6,144 votes to Olson’s 6,143.

“Every vote counts,” Will County Clerk Nancy Schultz Voots said, quoting an old adage that proved to be the case in this election. “When the turnout’s so

low, that’s when you have close races like this.”

Turnout typically is low for local elections. Tuesday was no exception with 17.87 percent of people voting throughout Will County.

Bolingbrook was a place where every vote counted in more than one election.

Most attention Tuesday night was focused on the neck-and-neck contest between Mayor Roger Claar and Jacqueline Traynere, a Will County Board member who ended Tuesday at 102 votes behind in her contest.

That’s a margin less likely to be turned around by late-arriving votes, but Traynere is waiting for the final count.

“We just want to make sure everything’s counted,” Traynere said. “We want it to be official.”

Joliet Park District board candidates Matthew McGuire and Patricia Marcum both said at the end of Tuesday night that they would just have to wait after the Tuesday totals put McGuire ahead

by nine votes.

Shorewood Mayor Rick Chapman also adopted the wait-and-see mentality with a 34-vote lead over Village Trustee Barbara Kirkland.

“We’re just kind of waiting around to see what the final results are going to be,” Chapman said.

Former Wilmington Mayor Roy Strong has a 22-vote lead over Mayor Marty Orr. While the late votes won’t be counted until April 18, candidates and voters can check the county clerk’s website daily to get an idea of how many mail-in votes are arriving. The homepage has a “What’s New” column that will keep a tally of how many votes are arriving each day.

Those votes will be counted in a procedure that’s been used many times over the years.

Election judges will gather to count the last mail-in votes and check provisional ballots in a public setting where candidates can watch and wait. The final results will be announced after the count April 18 and will be made official April 25.

Crest Hill’s Ray Soliman among local mayoral winners

By ANNA SCHIER

aschier@shawmedia.com Incumbent Ray Soliman prevailed in a three-person race for Crest Hill mayor Tuesday night with 1,541 votes, which amounted to 57 percent, compared to 965 votes for Nick Chumovic. John Vershay received 194 votes.

Soliman has been mayor the past eight years and was an alderman for 16 years before that.

Among top priorities for his third term, Soliman named attracting businesses, expanding the Ray police force, upgrading Soliman the west water treatment plant and identifying new locations for the city hall and police station.

lage president winners were Steven Streit (with 73.75 percent of the vote) over Joey Jeraminas in Lockport; Todd Matichak (with 57.14 percent) over incumbent William E. Offerman in Elwood; and Jim Holland (with 79.65 percent) over Todd Morgan in Frankfort.

The four-way race for Wilmington mayor was a tight one. Roy Strong leads with 541 votes to J. Marty Orr’s 519. Results are unofficial until all provisional and late arriving mail-in votes are counted. Results become official April 25.

‘A TRIBUTE TO HER LEGACY’ JJC board reflects on Klen’s posthumous election win

By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com JOLIET – She died March 7, but on Tuesday night, Susan Marie Klen won a spot on the Joliet Junior College Board of Trustees.

JJC board Vice Chairman Andrew Mihelich said he hasn’t seen anything like this before, but he knew it was possible because Klen was an asset to the college in her previous term from 2009 to 2015.

“This was a reflection of her positive contributions,” Mihelich said.

Susan JJC board President Robert Wunderlich, Klen however, said he was shocked when he saw the voting results.

Wunderlich said he wasn’t sure whether people were unaware Klen is deceased or whether it was a sympathy vote. Nevertheless, Klen was a great and qualified choice, he said.

“She was a great person and board member,” Wunderlich said. “As a board member, she gave her whole heart and soul to JJC. She wanted to do the right thing on every level – students, administration, tuition, taxes, sustainability – anything to do with JJC, she was 110 percent.”

Klen earned 25,999 votes, the second highest among four candidates running for the two-year term, based on unofficial consolidated election results from JJC’s website.

John Mahalik also won a two-year term with 26,395 votes. For six-year terms, Trustees Dan O’Connell and Alicia Morales won seats at 23,838 and 21,689 votes, respectively.

Mike O’Connell came in third after Klen with 24,626 votes, while Margaret Hornung garnered 23,389.

Posthumous election wins aren’t unheard of. They happen from time to time across the country, according

But the question remains – who will fill Klen’s term?

JJC spokeswoman Kelly Rohder said the school is waiting to hear back from the Will County Clerk’s Office about proper procedural steps.

Will County Clerk Nancy Schultz Voots did not immediately respond to repeated requests for comment. But Will County State’s Attorney’s Office spokesman Chuck Pelkie said the matter is under review by the State’s Attorney’s Office’s Civil Division.

Meanwhile, Wunderlich said that based on information from the

board’s attorney and the Illinois State Board of Elections, it appears that when votes are canvassed, Klen will be declared the official winner.

But she cannot serve, so Mike O’Connell would get the spot.

“We won’t have to appoint him – he’d take over the spot,” Wunderlich said. “It was a nonpartisan election, but if it was a partisan election, a Republican or Democratic committee would nominate somebody.”

Last-minute mail-in votes still have to be counted, and the voting results become official April 25. The board’s first meeting of May will in-

clude a reorganization of the board, as well as a declaration and swearing-in of the newly elected board members, Wunderlich said.

Mihelich said it wasn’t surprising at all to see Klen’s name capture the votes to get elected.

“She was loved within the JJC community, and this was a tribute to her legacy at JJC,” Mihelich said.

Asked about Klen’s decision to run for a board spot again, he said she wanted to serve in that capacity once more.

“She was a public servant and loved students,” Mihelich said.

Voter turnout up slightly from April 2015 Voter turnout in Will County

By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Will County voter turnout Tuesday appears to have jumped from the totals of the April 2015 election, according to data from the Will County Clerk’s Office.

About 17.87 percent of registered voters took to the polls in recent weeks, up from 15.01 percent in April 2015. The total is slightly lower than the turnouts in of April 2013 (18.13 percent), April 2011 (18.91 percent) and April 2009 (18.19 percent), but some mail-in ballots still have to be counted before the votes become official April 25.

Turnout Tuesday pales in comparison with November’s general election voting rate of 74.51 percent in Will County. The disparity between presidential election turnout and municipal election turnout often is vast.

Turnout for the April election varied drastically throughout the county.

Wilton Township, in the southern end of the county, led the county with 53.48 percent turnout. In second and fourth place were the 25th and 23rd precincts of Frankfort Township, which had 47.68 percent and 40.32 percent, respectively. In third was Wilmington Township’s 3rd Precinct, with 43.75 per-

HIGHEST: Wilton Township (53.48 percent), Frankfort Township’s 25th Precinct (47.68 percent), Wilmington Township’s 3rd Precinct (43.75 percent).

LOWEST: DuPage Township’s 35th Precinct (2.82 percent), Plainfield Township’s 11th Precinct (4.47 percent), Reed Township’s 2nd Precinct (4.69 percent)

Many areas of the county had well below 10 percent voter turnout. Entire townships, such as Reed Township, Green Garden Township and Will Township, were below 10 percent. Parts of Joliet, Wheatland, Lockport, Plainfield and DuPage townships had below

10 percent turnout as well.

Most of Bolingbrook had more than 20 percent voter turnout, with several precincts reporting more than 30 percent. This was driven by a hotly contested race between longtime Mayor Roger Claar and challenger Jackie Traynere.

Claar appears to have narrowly won

the race, according to unofficial results.

But the voter turnout was by far the highest in recent memory. Claar often runs unopposed. In Will County, the race brought in more than 12,200 votes, more than half of which were for Claar.

By comparison, Claar received 3,180 votes in April 2013 in Will County and 5,503 in April 2009 against a write-in candidate. Three Bolingbrook precincts are in DuPage County.

Other areas with strong turnouts included Florence Township, Wesley Township, Frankfort Township and Channahon Township.

The precinct with the lowest turnout was DuPage Township’s 35th Precinct, with 2.82 percent.

The path to victory can be a long one – even for Joliet City Council

By BOB OKON

bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – One lesson learned from the election this week is that getting on the Joliet City Council isn’t easy – at least not when 15 candidates are running for three openings.

For the one newcomer who won, joining the council has been a goal most of his life.

“Ever since I was a kid,” Don Dickinson, now 56, said after being asked how long he has thought about running for Joliet City Council. “I’m kind of a geek. I used to watch the meetings [on community TV]. I wanted to be one of those people who make a difference, and now I am.”

Along the way, Dickinson has won two school board elections and taken leadership positions in local organizations. He’s umpired and played in a lot of softball games, which, Dickinson said, mattered as well.

“All these things involve a lot of people,” he said. “You need to get your name out there and do things – not only get your name out there, but do things.

People notice.”

About half of the 15 candidates were making their first run for public office, meaning they had little, if any, voting base and virtually no name recognition when the campaign started.

Even Brooke Hernandez Brewer, the incumbent who Dickinson edged out for a spot on the council, was in her first election. Brewer had been appointed to the council in October.

The number of candidates made it even harder to stand out, said Betty Washington, who had been active in the community but never ran for election before.

“Of course I’m somewhat disappointed,” Washington said Wednesday.

“But I knew going in it would be an uphill battle because of the number of candidates.”

Running for City Council can be an eye-opening experience, said Rachel Ventura, who was in her first campaign.

“I don’t think you grasp some of those complex issues until you get out there and talk with people and drive the town,” Ventura said.

She faced an unexpected turn in the campaign at a March council meeting, where she was publicly accused of having improperly obtained a list of police officers’ addresses used for a campaign mailing. Ventura successfully defended herself by explaining that the information was available through public records. The ensuing publicity helped her campaign, she said.

“I was easily outspent by a lot. I could not afford newspaper ads, radio ads,” she said. “[The police list controversy] ended up giving me PR, which I would not have had otherwise.”

Ventura finished sixth in the race.

But her 1,687 votes was most among candidates who had not previously been in public office.

The top vote-getters in the election were councilmember Michael Turk and councilmember Jan Quillman.

Turk has been on the council since 1987.

Quillman will start her fourth term.

But Quillman ran for City Council four times before winning her first election.

“I had no money and no backing,” Quillman said. “I did it all on my own

Joliet City Council election results Top three elected Michael Turk: 4,094 votes Jan Quillman: 3,710 Don Dickinson: 2,742 Brooke Hernandez Brewer: 2,564 R. Dale Evans: 1,775 Rachel Ventura: 1,687 Betty Washington: 1,426 Roger Powell: 1,404 Alex Rodriguez: 1,289 Marc Ragusa: 1,040 Diane Harris: 928 Larry Crawford: 740 Michelle Stiff: 466 Christian Egwunwoke: 423 Nathaniel Romeo: 261 with help from friends and neighbors.”

Quillman had not won a previous election but was dedicated to winning a spot on the City Council.

“You have to start somewhere,” she said. “You have to know what you want and never give up.”

Chickens are back up for discussion in Channahon

By JEANNE MILLSAP

Shaw Media correspondent Keeping chickens in the village of Channahon may be discussed again after resident Jennifer Parshall told the Village Board on Monday evening that she has been gathering signatures and information that she will present to the board at its April 17 meeting.

Parshall is in favor of Channahon ordinances being changed to allow residents to raise backyard chickens.

Currently, farm animals are not allowed in the non-rural areas of Channahon. In the town’s rural areas, residents may keep up to four chickens on a 5-acre parcel.

The issue is a familiar one to trustees. In November, police directed another resident to remove four chickens from

her backyard, citing the specifics of the village’s laws concerning farm animals.

The resident asked trustees to consider changing the law to allow a small number of the fowl in town, but the board declined, saying it had heard feedback from several Channahon residents who were against changing code to allow chickens in town.

At this week’s meeting, three on the board said they had to consider the wishes of all of the 13,000 residents in town.

Trustee Chantal Host told Parshall that it’s possible the board might consider a pilot program for a period, similar to one Elgin did recently, allowing chickens for a time to see how things go.

Parshall said she would bring more facts and the petition to the next board meeting

for discussion.

Trustees on Monday also approved allowing single -amily homes to be built in the subdivision of Woods of Aux Sable on plats originally approved for duplexes.

The duplex concept did not sell well, Director of Community Development Mike Petrick told trustees, and the owner requested that the board change the zoning from R3 multifamily to R1 single family. The zoning change was approved, as was an ordinance amending the annexation agreement and approval of final plats at the site.

Also at the meeting, Connie Sychowski presented a $500 check to the Channahon Police Department’s K-9 unit on behalf of the Citizens’ Police Academy Alumni Group.

The alumni raised money for the donation by having a re-

cent photo opportunity with the Easter Bunny.

Village President Missey Moorman Schumacher also announced that Youngs Road would be closed April 4 through April 17, for roadwork.

Trustee Chantal Host also told the board that Channahon was named one of the 100 safest cities in the nation for the fourth year in a row by Safewise. This year, the village is No. 56, rising from 62 last year.

LOCAL BRIEF Joliet man hospitalized after I-55 crash with 2 semis

DARIEN – A Joliet man was involved in a crash with two semitrailers Tuesday evening.

The crash occurred at 6:11 p.m. on southbound Interstate 55 near Lemont Road, according to a news release from Illinois State Police.

A 2016 GMC driven by Jeremy Lepage, 25, of Joliet, struck a 2017 Freightliner tractor then bounced into another 2017 Freightliner tractor, causing it to roll over, police said.

Southbound traffic was diverted onto Cass Avenue while the crash was investigated Tuesday evening.

Lepage and one of the semi drivers were hospitalized.

JOLIET – A Bolingbrook man accused of leaving a baby outside in chilly temperatures while he got drunk last month also was allegedly severely intoxicated at his court appearance Monday.

Kenyatta A. Franklin, 36, faces three counts of endangering the life or health of a child. One of Franklin’s bond conditions since his March 10 release from the Will Kenyatta A. County jail was not to Franklin consume any alcohol.

But when Franklin came in Monday, Will County Assistant State’s Attorney Sarah Romero made a motion that he be given a portable breathalyzer test. Judge Matthew Bertani granted the motion, and a Will County sheriff’s deputy had Franklin blow into the device.

According to court records, Franklin’s blood alcohol content was measured at 0.411 – five times the legal limit of intoxication. Court records did not indicate whether Franklin drove

to court Monday. Bertani ordered his bond revoked, and he was booked into jail.

On the evening of March 4, Franklin allegedly took his girlfriend’s then11-month-old daughter to visit a friend and stopped at an Ingalls Park liquor store, Joliet police said. When Franklin returned to the 1300 block of East Washington Street, he left the girl outside in a stroller wearing an unzipped jacket and no hat or gloves, police said.

A neighbor found the girl about 30 minutes later and notified police, who said the temperature at the time was 34 degrees with a wind chill below freezing. Officers found Franklin and the girl’s mother, Melissa Vance, passed out on a couch inside the apartment with numerous empty beer cans and wine glasses, lit candles and a pot of water boiling on the stove.

Vance and Franklin were both arrested, but charges were later dropped against Vance after prosecutors could not prove she was aware the child had been left outside. Police reports did not indicate whether the child is related to Franklin. Franklin was previously charged with endangering the life or health of a child in June 2006.

New Pill Can Relieve the Need for Adult Diapers and Padded Underwear According to Dr. Seipel, Leaking, Squirming, Squeezing, and Night Time Bathroom Trips...Even Accidents Can Now be a Thing of the Past!

The Family Secret Even the Family Doesn’t Know

“Most people who have overactive bladders choose to keep their problem a secret,” says Dr. Tracey Seipel, a longtime clinician who is one of the world’s leading experts in natural urological healthcare.

“They don’t even tell their spouse or families about it. It affects their lives in every way, influencing where they go, and even what they will wear in case they have an accident.”

“Black is the color of choice,” says Dr. Seipel, “as it can hide evidence of public accidents.”

A 100% natural, drug-free aid developed

by Dr. Seipel is now available in a remarkable, fast-acting natural formula called UriVarx™ featuring urox.

Amazing Clinical Results Patients using UriVarx™ experience all these benefits: • Reduction in Urge Incontinence • Reduction in Stress Incontinence • Reduction in Urinary Urgency • Reduction in Urinary Frequency • Reduction in Nocturia (bedtime episodes) Patients started seeing results in as little as 2 weeks.

This sophisticated patented herbal compound has been shown in clinical studies to help improve UriVarx™ with reductions in bladder frequency, nocturia

(having to urinate at night), urgency, and bladder discomfort, sometimes in as little as two weeks.

Since its introduction in Australia, more than 25,000 bottles have sold of this patented revolutionary formula.

Dr. Seipel’s formula has made a believer out of 45-year-old, mother of three, Brandy W., from Brisbane, Australia.

“I had a high bladder frequency as a child,” says Brandy,“but my frequency really worsened after the birth of my first child.”

A friend who was aware of Brandy’s condition told her about Dr. Seipel’s formula. “After two weeks, I had already noticed changes,” smiles Brandy.** “I was finding that although I felt I needed to urinate, I wasn’t as desperate to run to the toilet. Now, when I get up in the morning,” she adds, “I’m able to make the coffee and even have a cup before needing to go, which is a great improvement!”

Dr. Tracey Seipel: Naturopath, Clinical Nutritionist, Herbalist & Diabetes Educator How Does It Work?

“UriVarx™ helps support bladder health by revitalizing bladder tone and function, and by helping support kidney health,” says Dr. Seipel.

“UriVarx™ promotes normal urinary frequency, and reduces urgency, nocturia and those embarrassing, away-from-home bladder accidents,” adds Dr. Seipel.

“The compound invigorates the tone of the bladder wall, assisting a healthy level of firmness by enhancing the bladder’s muscular elasticity. This reduces the frequent urge to urinate,” explains Dr. Seipel.

Positive Clinical Trial

This natural, drug-free UriVarx™ formula has performed well in a clinical study.

In one placebo-controlled, randomized trial, many participants saw results in as little as two weeks. But the best was yet to come.

Two weeks later, those participants shocked study observers by reporting a significant improvement in their quality

of life. Thirty days later 77% of participants were experiencing benefits.

Results like these are not surprising to Dr. Seipel who single-handedly pioneered the bladder care category in the early 2000’s, receiving an award from the prestigious US Nutrition Business Journal for her work.

Her patented formula consisting of select, synergistically paired botanicals like Crateva nurvala, Equisetum arvense and Lindera aggregata, was 15 years in the making.

Reduce the Need for Adult Diapers

“Overactive bladder syndrome is a widespread problem,” says Dr. Seipel. Many of these individuals wear adult diapers.

Insiders in the adult diaper industry are keeping a close eye on Dr. Seipel’s bladder support breakthrough because of people like 78-year-old retired teacher, Glenda B. from Gold Coast, Australia.

Glenda wore adult diapers every day to guard against accidents.

“My bladder capacity was good but the leakage and accidents would occur without warning. So, I wore them every day,” confesses Glenda.

Since Glenda discovered Dr. Seipel’s UriVarx™ formula, you won’t find her shopping in the adult diaper section of the store anymore.

“After only 10 days on UriVarx™, I reduced the need to wear my diapers. Now, I am managing very well, thank you,” says Glenda.

According to Euromonitor International, a respected market research firm, the size of the adult diaper market in the U.S. was approximately $1.4 Billion in 2012.

Prostate or Bladder?

Hard to Tell

Many men confuse the symptoms of overactive bladder syndrome with prostate woes.

Dr. Seipel explains, “Prostate enlargement restricts urine flow. The bladder compensates for this by trying harder and harder to push the urine out.”

As bladder pressure increases, so does instances of urinary frequency and urgency. Long after a man’s prostate woes are relieved, he may still experience the same symptoms thanks to his nowoveractive bladder.

Finally a clinically proven pill solution to ease all your bladder problems.

His-and-Her Results

“Because male and female bladders, other than size, are identical,” says Dr. Seipel, “the formula works equally well for both men and women”.

“It’s a his-and-her formula,” she smiles.

David M., age 46, can attest to this. “I was having to go to the toilet every hour or so and I had to go to the toilet at least four times per night.”

Four weeks after starting UriVarx™, David says, “My trips to the toilet have definitely reduced and I’m having much better sleep, getting up maybe once a night.”

If you’re ready to alleviate your go-now urination urges, to those frantic trips to the bathroom, and if you are looking for the confidence and security that a healthy bladder can bring to your life, here’s your risk-free opportunity.

NEW YORK, NEW YORK — If life isn’t hard enough, now you have to worry about making it to the bathroom in time. The feeling of your bladder bursting and the down right panic of “not making it” in time can be absolutely overwhelming.

Don’t even dare to laugh, cough or sneeze at the “wrong” time and when did you start to become scared to take a big sip of tea, coffee or water?

You’re not alone in your battle to control your bladder. According to The National Institute of Health, as many as 33 million Americans are affected by bladder control issues described above.

Nearly $1M seized might be forfeited to Illinois Attorney General’s Office

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Despite the seizure of $987,780 in U.S. currency in Grundy County, the county will see none of the proceeds if it is not claimed.

This property was seized by law enforcement authorities about 11:53 a.m.

Oct. 25, 2016, at or near westbound Interstate 80 Westbound at mile marker 112 in Morris. It was in the possession of Jose L. Herrera Jr. The money was determined to be subject to forfeiture under one or more of the provisions of the Money Laundering Article (720 ILCS 5/29B-1), which includes the forfeiture provision by the Illinois Attorney General’s Office.

Grundy County State’s Attorney Jason Helland said that the way the laws are set up, the attorney general’s office will receive the prosecutor’s portion because it has oversight on the case.

“Grundy County doesn’t have the resources to investigate to see if the mon-

ey is from drug activity or money laundering, especially if it is outside state lines,” Helland said. “Our office doesn’t have an investigator.”

Helland said that when there are stops on Interstate 80 in Grundy County where drugs and money are both found on the person, the case could be tried locally without going to the attorney general. But he said with the case involving money laundering, there was no way to handle it within his office.

The owner or interest holder in the money, in order to preserve any rights or claims to the property, must file a proper verified claim with the Office of the Illinois Attorney General’s Statewide Grand Jury Bureau in Chicago within 45 days of the effective date of the notice, which ran in the Morris Herald-News on Jan. 19 and 26, as well as Feb. 2.

As of press time, the Attorney General’s Office did not respond to phone calls to see whether a claim had been filed.

Experts: Election affirms transgender policy

School district votes on bathroom use issue

Palatine Township High School District 211 Board candidate Ed Yung unloads yard signs from the trunk of his car to post near polling places Monda in Hoffman Estates.

By SOPHIA TAREEN The Associated Press

CHICAGO – School board candidates who supported a plan to let a transgender student use the girls’ locker room at a suburban Chicago school survived an election challenge in one of several local races that took on an issue that has been the focus of state and national debate.

Tuesday’s contest in the roughly 12,000-student, five-high school district was a unique referendum on transgender bathroom use. While numerous schools and municipalities nationwide are grappling with the question, the issue overtook the election in suburbs northwest of Chicago, which was the community’s first chance to weigh in at the ballot box.

Experts said the results in Palatine’s Township High School District 211 could provide guidance, and political cover, to other districts. Two incumbents and a former board member supporting the policy won despite three challengers whose top priorities included changing it.

“It’s encouraging,” said Christopher Clark, a regional director for Lambda

Top Mexican official said to tip drug cartel about probe

MEXICO CITY – In a major embarrassment for Mexican law enforcement, U.S. prosecutors said in documents made public Wednesday that the commander of a Mexican police intelligence-sharing unit was passing information on a DEA investigation to the Beltran Leyva drug cartel in exchange for millions of dollars.

Ivan Reyes Arzate, 45, was named in a U.S. district court indictment, just hours after Mexican federal police commissioner Manelich Castilla revealed that an unnamed agent had been charged with obstructing an investigation.

What Castilla did not say was that Reyes Arzate was the commander of a federal police sensitive investigative unit. The special units, known as SIUs, were formed

Legal. “The attempt to deny these students the ability to be who they are, and be safe in school serves no legitimate purpose. This may be a sign that the public is starting to understand.”

The issue played a less prominent role in other Illinois elections Tuesday, including in the nearby Elgin School District U-46, which is Illinois’ second largest with 40,000 students. There, unofficial results showed three school board candidates won after supporting a district policy allowing students to use bathrooms based on gender identity.

The Palatine district’s current practice allows the student, who has lived as a girl since middle school, to use the

girls’ locker rooms with the understanding she would use a private changing station that other students also can access, as well as the girls’ bathrooms. The policy followed a 2013 federal complaint, packed board meetings and intervention from former President Barack Obama’s administration.

Opposition to its practice re-emerged on the campaign trail, with three candidates saying a top priority was to change the policy.

The three challengers received backing from Parents for Privacy, which sued the district over claims that the transgender policy violates other students’ privacy rights. But Vicki Wilson,

starting in the 1990s precisely to create more secure groups that the U.S. could feel comfortable sharing intelligence with.

Castilla said Reyes Arzate had been fired in November. He is in U.S. custody.

The Justice Department described Reyes Arzate as “the principal point of contact for information being shared between U.S. law enforcement and the Mexican Federal Police.”

According to the U.S. indictment, Reyes Arzate was caught on a wiretap in September telling a drug trafficker to get rid of his communications equipment because he was under investigation and his phones were being tapped.

He even sent the trafficker a surveillance photo that the Mexican police unit had taken of him. That photo – sent to a mobile device that was being tapped – was what first awoke suspicions among U.S. officials that there was a mole in the investigation.

Reyes Arzate has acknowledged meeting with a drug trafficker but denied sending him information.

The U.S. indictment unsealed Wednesday in Chicago said Reyes Arzate was the top commander of an SIU unit whose officers

were specially trained and vetted by the U.S., including weeklong training at a DEA school in Quantico, Virginia.

Video gambling parlors sue Illinois over profit-sharing

CHICAGO – Two companies that own video gambling parlors have sued the Illinois Gaming Board to challenge rules requiring them split profits with the businesses that operate the gambling machines.

The lawsuit argues that the nearly 6,000 parlors in the state could reinvest more money in their operations if they weren’t required to evenly divide their profits, the Chicago Tribune reported.

The lawsuit was filed in Cook County by the owners of the Dotty’s Cafe, Stella’s Place and Shelby’s gambling-parlor chains.

The two companies argue that gambling parlors and the terminal operators should be free to negotiate their own profit-sharing deals and that establishments should be allowed to buy, install and maintain their own machines.

“The amount in profits the Video Gaming Act divvies out to each party is not

who co-founded Parents for Privacy, said she didn’t see the election as a referendum on the issue, since candidates also stressed fiscal responsibility.

“We’re going to continue,” she said Wednesday. “The children are not all being respected.”

The group’s federal lawsuit is being argued by the conservative Alliance Defending Freedom, which said Wednesday that several districts are going the other way. For example, school officials in Derby, Kansas, which last year crowned a transgender student king of a winter ball, this year reversed its policy allowing transgender students to use bathrooms matching their gender identity.

President Donald Trump’s administration in February revoked an Obama administration directive instructing public schools to let transgender students use bathrooms and locker rooms of their chosen gender. Trump’s administration is leaving it to states and school districts to interpret federal anti-discrimination law.

“It’s not an easy issue, I admit that,” said school board member Robert LeFevre Jr., who was re-elected with Anna Klimkowicz and a former board member. “There is not a right or a wrong answer. It’s something to be managed and dealt with very carefully.”

rationally related to the contributions or investments each party may make toward the business or the amount each party has at risk,” the lawsuit argues.

N. Illinois man gets 59 years in wife’s beating death

ROCKFORD – A judge has sentenced a northern Illinois man to 59 years in prison for killing his wife with a baseball bat in 2012 and dumping her body in the Rock River.

Todd Smith of Machesney Park maintained his innocence during Tuesday’s sentencing hearing. He called 30-year-old Katrina Smith’s killing “an evil, senseless tragedy.” He apologized for “failing in my role as husband and protector” and he’s “not guilty as the state portrayed.”

Winnebago County Judge Fernando Engelsma replied, telling Smith, “You killed her” and “Your actions after the crime then, I find unfathomable.”

Prosecutors said Katrina Smith wanted out of her marriage to Todd Smith, but he wouldn’t let her go and even tracked her with a device under her car.

Trump: Syria attack affects my attitude toward its leader

By JOSH LEDERMAN The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – His expression grave and his words emphatic, President Donald Trump declared Wednesday that the deadly chemical attack in Syria had crossed “many, many lines” and abruptly changed his views of Syrian President Bashar Assad. But he refused to say what the U.S. might do in response.

Trump issued no ultimatums in comments that were being scoured by world leaders for signs of how the new president would react to a global crisis. In a rare reversal of roles, Trump was more reserved than many of his top advisers – including his U.N. envoy, who revived the hard-hitting rhetoric of Trump’s political campaign and strongly hinted some U.S. action was coming.

Trump himself was noncommittal.

“I’m not saying I’m doing anything one way or another, but I’m certainly not going to be telling you,” he told reporters.

He blamed the attack squarely on Assad’s forces, although the embattled Syrian leader and his Russian backers denied it. He suggested that the assault that killed 72 people had diminished his former reluctance to plunge the U.S. further into the complex and dangerous turmoil in the Middle East.

“When you kill innocent children, innocent babies – babies, little babies – with a chemical gas that is so lethal, people were shocked to hear what gas it was, that crosses many, many lines,” Trump said in the White House Rose Garden. U.S. officials said the gas likely was chlorine, with traces of a nerve agent like sarin.

While continuing to fault predecessor Barack Obama for much of the current situation in Syria, he acknowledged that dealing with the crisis is now his own responsibility and vowed to “carry it very proudly.”

Only days earlier multiple

President Donald Trump and Jordan’s King Abdullah II speak Wednesday at a news conference in the Rose Garden at the White House in Washington, D.C. members of Trump’s administration had said Assad’s ouster was no longer a U.S. priority, drawing outrage from Assad critics in the U.S. and abroad.

But Trump said Tuesday’s attack “had a big impact on me – big impact.”

“My attitude towards Syria and Assad has changed very much,” he said.

Since the attack Tuesday in rebel-held territory in northern Syria, Trump has been under increasing pressure to explain whether the attack would bring a U.S. response. After all, Trump’s first reaction was merely to blame Obama’s “weakness” in earlier years for enabling Assad.

Obama had put Assad on notice that using chemical weapons would cross a “red line” necessitating a U.S. response, but then failed to follow through, pulling back from planned airstrikes after Congress wouldn’t vote to approve them. Trump and other critics have cited that as a key moment the U.S. lost much global credibility.

“I now have responsibility,” Trump said. “That responsibility could be made a lot easier if it was handled years ago.”

Yet he was adamant that he would not telegraph any potential U.S. military retaliation, saying anew that that was a mistake the Obama adminis-

tration had repeatedly made.

Standing alongside Jordan’s King Abdullah II at a news conference, Trump appeared to adopt the first part of Obama’s stance – that chemical weapons use is intolerable – while stopping short of saying what might come next.

That left some Assad opponents wanting more.

“It’s simply impossible to shame the Assad and (Russian President Vladimir) Putin regimes with words alone,” said Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C. The strongest indication that the U.S. might act came at the United Nations, where U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley held up photos of the attack’s victims in an emotional plea to the Security Council to intervene.

“When the United Nations consistently fails in its duty to act collectively, there are times in the life of states that we are compelled to take our own action,” Haley said.

Although Trump didn’t mention it, both Haley and Secretary of State Rex Tillerson have argued that Russia and Iran – Assad’s two staunchest allies – must use their influence to prevent him from mounting further attacks.

Tillerson said Russia needed to “think carefully about their continued support for the Assad regime.”

Rauner’s ads raise questions As the Senate’s two leaders tried again to find the votes to pass their “grand bargain” last week to end the state’s two-year governmental gridlock, Gov. Bruce Rauner began spending more than a million dollars on two new TV ads that portray him as an everyman “duct tape” hero in the fight for Illinois’ future.

“Illinois is broke and broken,” Rauner says to the camera while standing in a well-kept garage and wearing a plaid flannel shirt. “And the politicians that got us into this mess, their solution is this,” Rauner says as he holds up a roll of duct tape. “Higher taxes,” he says as he yanks out a piece of duct tape, “More spending,” he says with another jerk on the roll, “No real reforms,” he says as he takes one more strong pull.

“After decades of ignoring problems, it’s time someone fixes ‘em,” the governor says. A list of bullet points appears on the screen in front of a line of tools neatly arranged against the garage wall as Rauner says: “Our balanced budget plan freezes property taxes, caps spending, creates jobs and puts term limits on politicians.”

Rauner is then shown sitting on a chair in the garage. “Our plan brings real reforms to Illinois,” he says as he grabs the roll of duct tape. “Their duct tape solutions won’t work anymore. We will fix Illinois together.”

The second, shorter ad, begins with Rauner peeling off duct tape from a piece of glass over the camera. “Springfield politicians don’t want you to see what they’re up to,” the governor begins, wearing the same flannel shirt in the same garage. “’Cuz their duct tape solutions just cover up Illinois’ problems. They don’t fix ‘em,” he says with a smile on his face. “Fix Illinois,” an announcer says.

The governor’s people firmly believe that they have staked out a comfortably poll-tested platform. “What we oppose, the public opposes,” a Rauner official said last week. “What we support, the public supports.”

The public hates tax hikes and Rauner is gearing up for the 2018 campaign with a message that he saved the state from ruinous Democratic tax increases without his demanded job-creating reforms, which include the above-mentioned balanced budget, property tax and state government spending freezes, term limits and other awesome stuff.

Trouble is, he’s never once proposed a balanced budget and can’t get anything else passed. Rauner is heading into a re-election campaign without much of anything to show for his time in office. Hence, the duct tape ads.

Team Rauner also is still opposed to

VIEWS Rich Miller whatever comes out of the Senate’s negotiations because the proposals don’t meet its demands.

Talks have reportedly faltered over a “five and five” proposal to raise the income tax for five years and cap property taxes for the same amount of time. The Senate Democrats also are still refusing to specify major budget cuts (which the governor has refused to do as well), and a dispute has developed over the latest education funding reform bill.

Should the Senate’s plan go down in flames yet again, the Democrats will undoubtedly say that Rauner never actually wanted a deal to begin with. They’ll claim in unison that the Turnaround Agenda was, in reality, a mere ploy to achieve Rauner’s “real” result, which is the slow but very deliberate destruction of “weak” universities and social service programs and the crushing of unions and “the middle class.”

And they might possibly even get some backup from a clearly furious Senate Republican leader, who lashed out at the governor and his chief of staff earlier this month for declaring through an unnamed source in a newspaper article that the grand bargain was dead.

Rauner will continue to counter with a campaign based on running against the Springfield “status quo,” and in particular the overwhelmingly unpopular House Speaker Michael Madigan.

But after over two years in office, a kabillionaire who conspicuously drops his “g’s” and dons the costumes of the working class in expensive TV ads to claim he’s on the common man’s side may be finally be wearing thin.

The governor’s 58 percent job disapproval rating in the latest Paul Simon Public Policy Institute poll didn’t appear out of nowhere, after all.

Instead of constantly worrying about his own political future by producing yet another round of expensive TV ads far away from election day, the governor ought to find another way to improve his state’s future. He has a Republican Senate leader who is firmly committed to getting us out of this horrific ditch. Instead of undercutting her at every turn, he ought to be helping her across the finish line. Doing otherwise will only prove the Democrats’ point that he doesn’t really want a deal.

ANOTHER VIEW

Lower age for adult criminal courts If you are a 17-year-old in Texas, you can’t legally buy cigarettes or beer or even a lottery ticket. You can’t vote. You cannot marry without parental consent. But you can go to jail if you’re caught shoplifting an expensive designer handbag – because the state’s criminal laws view 17-yearolds as adults.

This legal inconsistency doesn’t promote public safety or reduce recidivism rates – and it has serious consequences for former young offenders when they start looking for jobs and housing.

For all these reasons, Texas lawmakers should raise the age of criminal responsibility to 18.

Adolescent brains differ from those of adults and, reflecting that fact, most states place the age of criminal culpability at 18 or older. But that’s not true everywhere. In New York, for example, 16-year-olds are considered adults in criminal matters. When a 16-year-old is arrested in Buffalo or Manhattan, police have no duty to notify his or her parents, nor do police need to ask parental permission to question a 16-year-old suspect.

Change the age to 17, and the same is true in Texas.

Seventeen-year-olds tend to commit the same crimes as 16-year-

olds – drug possession and theft – and don’t belong in the adult criminal justice system any more than younger adolescents do.

The 17-year-olds are at greater risk of sexual victimization in adult systems than adolescents kept in juvenile custody.

They receive fewer rehabilitative and mental health services than teens in the juvenile system, and they tend to have higher recidivism rates after release. And those 17-year-olds have adult criminal records.

Rep. Harold Dutton Jr., D-Houston, leads the state House Juvenile Justice and Family Issues Committee.

He wrote HB 122,which raises the age of criminal culpability from 17 to 18. (state Sen. Bryan Hughes, R-Mineola, filed a similar bill, SB 941.) A March hearing on the House bill produced a long list of supportive witnesses – groups ranging from the Texas NAACP to the Texas Baptist Christian Life Commission to the Texas PTA – and one opponent.

It was approved.

Other states have raised the age of criminal responsibility without overwhelming their juvenile justice systems or blowing their budgets.

Texas can do the same.

BOYS WATER POLO: LOCKPORT 13, BRADLEY-BOURBONNAIS 6

STEADY IMPROVEMENT

Porters are upbeat about the progress they are showing

By CURT HERRON

cherron@shawmedia.com LOCKPORT – With a young squad that features only two seniors, it looked as if Lockport boys water polo coach Joe Lewandowski might have to settle for a rebuilding season.

But so far, the Porters have had other ideas. They’re off to a strong start in the competitive SouthWest Suburban Conference with their latest victory coming Wednesday when they defeated Bradley-Bourbonnais, 13-6, at home.

Lockport (7-5-1, 5-2) only led 4-2 late in the first half, but scored just before the break and then collected all four scores in the third quarter and the first two in the final quarter to break it open. Bradley scored four times in the final 2:38 to make the final score closer.

Tyler Thompson led the hosts with six goals, Jack Lyons scored three times and Jake Sweis added two goals, while goalie Connor Hecker came up with eight saves.

The Porters have long put an emphasis on defense, and it’s no different this season. A good example of that effort was seen against the Boilermakers, who were held scoreless during a 16:45 stretch that ran from the second to the fourth quarter.

Lewandowski, who has led the program since it started playing at the varsity level in 2004, hopes to have his squad playing its best when it takes part in the Neuqua Valley Sectional, which features defending state champion Naperville Central.

“We’re playing with a lot of juniors and sophomores, and none of these kids ever played in an age-group program, so we’re real young,” Lewandowski said. “We had some big graduating classes of seven and nine, but because of that turnover, we have young kids who have been stepping up. I couldn’t be more proud of our sophomores and the way that the juniors have really

taken a leadership role. It’s just outstanding.

“The defense that we’re running now is giving more of an effect on our counterattacks, so we’re seeing more 2-on-1s and 3-on-2s. And what I’m starting to see is the communication factor.

They’re really starting to talk more out there. At the beginning of the year, that was probably our toughest thing, es-

pecially when you’re running a tough defense. If you’re not communicating, then somebody is off and other teams are going to score on you.”

While Lockport was placed in the Neuqua Valley Sectional along with two of the state’s best, defending champion Naperville Central and Naperville

North, Lewandowski is hopeful that SWSC play, which features six squads ranked in the top 21 in Illinois, will prepare them for the challenge.

The Porters’ two captains, juniors Giovanni Onesto and Sweis, are encouraged by what they’ve seen so far and expect their squad to get better as the season progresses.

“Gio, Matt (Zalesko), Connor and me are juniors who played a lot last year,” Sweis said. “We’re a very young team and still have next year, so there’s still a lot of potential that we can uncover. The conference is very tough this year and there’s a lot of good competition. Lew is a phenomenal coach and the passion for the sport on this team is through the roof. Everyone plays well together and we have good chemistry, and that helps make us who we are.”

With their regular season wrapping up a month from now, there isn’t a lot of time left to work on things. But the Porters feel optimistic that they’ll be at their best for the sectional.

“When we were freshmen, we had the best group of seniors to build off, and they taught us a lot of what we know,” Onesto said. “After they graduated, it was time for guys like us to step up and do our part by trying to help the team as much as possible.

We surprise ourselves every day with how good we can be. We’re stepping up a lot and I’m proud to see that. We have such a good coaching staff and kids who really play their hearts out. We’ve got a well-rounded team that communicates well and we have shooters and can play defense.”

PREP SOFTBALL: MINOOKA SEASON PREVIEW

By CURT HERRON

cherron@shawmedia.com

2016 record: 11-18, 6-8 in Southwest Prairie Coach: Mark Brown (sixth season, 123-71) Returning starters: Lexi Cerven, sr., 2B; Alex Loizon, jr., P; Maria Ruettiger, sr., 3B; Bree Szambelan, sr., 1B Outlook: With much of their infield back this season, the Indians are looking to bounce back from an uncharacteristic campaign a year ago. They’re confident that they will hit the ball, so how well they play in the field may determine if they are conference and regional contenders. to practice on our field,” Brown said.

“We’re seven games in, and we’ve only practiced once on our field. It’s a game of rhythm and getting comfortable, so as the weather warms up, our defense will tighten up and we’ll come together pretty well as a team. The good thing is that we know that it’s something that we can fix.

“So far we’ve played some tough competition and we feel like we’ve hung with every team, so we’re right there and we’re confident that we’ll turn the corner. I like their attitude and they’re such a fun group of girls, and Coach (Amy) Saelens and I look forward to

coming to games and practices. And I like their perseverance. We’ve down in almost every game, and they just battle back. They play a full 21 outs and don’t get down on themselves.”

The Indians have four regulars returning in the infield, three of whom are seniors. That group consists of first baseman Bree Szambelan, second baseman Lexi Cerven and third baseman Maria Ruettiger, while junior pitcher Alex Loizon also is back.

“We have a great offense, so it’s just a matter of getting our defense where we want it to be,” Cerven said. “I think we’ll have a real solid defense if we back each other up. We have a saying, ‘Hold the rope,’ where we each have each others’ back, so if somebody’s down, you need to pick them up. We really get along well and some of us have been playing together since we were young. It’s nice to have a team like that, knowing what you can build off.”

The other two seniors on the squad are infielder Hailey Jermolowicz and outfielder Ashley DeCraene. Beside Loizon, the other juniors are catcher McKayla Bowen, infielders Stacey Tyrell and Hailey Justak and outfielders Taylor Sullivan, Jillian Kurtz and Faith Chada. Also on the team are sophomore outfielders Hannah Justak

and Gabriella Robles and freshmen pitcher/infielders Lauren Smith and Anna Laschiazza.

“I think that we have really good communication skills,” Ruettiger said.

“We have a very young team with only a few seniors. We’re very strong on offense, but just need to pick our pitcher up with our defense, because we’ve made a few mistakes that have hurt us.

It’s the beginning of April and we’re making some mistakes, but we’ll clean it up by the time we get to regionals.

What I like the most about this group is that we all stick together, no matter what.”

Beside putting themselves in a position to once again challenge in the SPC, the Indians hope that by the end of the season that they also will be able to make a nice playoff run.

“We still need more work in order to do well as a team, both defensively and offensively,” Szambelan said. “But with the more games we play, I think we’ll realize how well we can do as a team. Once we get started offensively, we’ll all be hitting, and defensively, we just have to communicate more. If we work on our defense and offense, we’ll be good. Everyone starts brand new for every game and practice and works hard and has confidence in each other.”

Gillespie ready to tackle Illinois State challenge When Barb Smith was fired as Illinois State University women’s basketball coach after the Redbirds’ recently completed 8-23 season, athletic director Larry Lyons also announced that the contracts of the women’s basketball assistant coaches would not be renewed when they expire this month.

The Redbirds hired Kristen Gillespie, who was head coach at Lewis, as Smith’s successor this week.

Gillespie will be building her own staff with the Redbirds. Had the previous staff been retained, she would have been working with Joliet girls basketball legend Cathy Boswell.

A member of the Joliet Area Sports Hall of Fame as well as halls of fame at Joliet West, Illinois State and the Missouri Valley Conference, Boswell joined the ISU staff as an assistant in August 2015.

When she left ISU as a player, she was the school’s all-time leader in

VIEWS Dick Goss scoring and rebounding. She was a member of the 1984 gold-medal U.S. Olympic team and has extensive experience playing professionally and coaching overseas.

Meanwhile, ISU is getting a coach in Gillespie who is ready to compete on the NCAA Division I level. Her teams were successful at Division III Benedictine and then Division II Lewis, preparing her for the move into D-I. Gillespie, of course, is a granddaughter of the late Gordie Gillespie and daughter of Mike Gillespie, a Joliet Catholic graduate who also made his mark coaching high school and college basketball.

Kristen Gillespie was a four-year letter winner for during her playing days

at North Carolina State. As a junior, she was the Wolfpack’s starting point guard on the 1998 NCAA Final Four team. She was an honorable-mention Academic All-American as a senior.

It was special for Lewis and special for the Joliet area to have Gillespie coach for a couple of years at the school where her grandfather enjoyed so much success. All good things tend to end, however, and now she will attempt to reverse the fortunes of the ISU program.

“I am beyond excited and extremely humbled to be named the next head coach at Illinois State,” Gillespie said in a release from Tuesday’s news conference in the Hancock Stadium Club in Bloomington, where she was introduced to the ISU community. “I have a full understanding of the rich tradition that surrounds Redbird basketball and the Missouri Valley Conference.

“From Day 1, it will be our focus to

surround every action with championship-level effort. We will succeed on the court, in the community and in the classroom. My staff and I will welcome the challenge of building Illinois State into an MVC power once again. Our program will play a fundamentally sound style, predicated on unselfishness and unmatched work ethic.”

The hope here is that she achieves her goal, that the Redbirds, under her leadership, become a factor year in and year out in the MVC. Lisa Carlsen, Gillespie’s predecessor at Lewis, led Northern Illinois to a 21-12 record and a WNIT berth in her second season on the D-I level.

Meanwhile, one can’t help but wonder who will succeed Gillespie at Lewis.

MINOOKA – When a softball team isn’t able to get outside very often to practice, it’s understandable when its defense is a bit shaky.

And that’s just what Minooka has been experiencing this season as fielding troubles have resulted in some early-game deficits and a 3-4 record through Tuesday’s Southwest Prairie Conference opener against Oswego.

Perhaps no one understands better than Indians coach Mark Brown that it’s not how a team plays in early April, but rather how well it does in late May. Brown’s 2013 squad proved that when it started 4-3 and took a No. 9 seed into the sectional, only to beat four higher-seeded teams there and then three teams ranked second or better in their sectionals as it stunned the state by winning the Class 4A title.

With only four returning players, the Indians likely won’t set their goals quite that high, but they do have a close group that not only has some experience mixed in with talented players, but also figures to be pretty good at the plate, which should provide reason for optimism.

“I think a big part of it is being able

28 CUBS AT CARDINALS (PPD., RAIN)

Almora reminds Maddon of Edmonds

By BRUCE MILES

bmiles@dailyherald.com ST. LOUIS – Only a few days shy of his 23rd birthday, Albert Almora Jr. already exhibits a take-charge approach in the outfield for the Cubs. And because the Cubs are in St. Louis, it’s fitting to note he also draws comparisons to a longtime Cardinal and onetime Cub: Jim Edmonds.

“I saw Jimmy before the game, and I said, ‘Almora reminds me Albert you,’ ” Cubs manager Almora Jr. Joe Maddon said after Tuesday night’s 2-1 victory, a game in which Almora leaped in front of the center-field wall to rob Matt Adams of a home run in the seventh inning. “[Edmonds] was at the game, so I hope he stuck around to see that play.

“Jimmy wasn’t the fastest guy. Albert’s not the fastest guy. They both ran great routes, and they had a great nose, instinct, for the ball, when to get to the wall, how to get to the wall. “[Almora] got to the wall perfectly right there, meaning he didn’t have his butt up against the wall. He was sideways, where he could actually jump. If you get your butt against the wall, you cannot jump.

“So he did everything well, and of course that’s a pretty pertinent play.”

Wednesday morning, as the after-

The makeup will be at 12:45 p.m. Thursday.

Almora was more than fine with being compared to Edmonds.

“That’s an honor for me,” he said.

“I actually grew up watching him and Andruw Jones, both guys I really mod-

game. So it’s pretty cool.”

Although Almora does not possess the greatest speed, Maddon and Cubs coaches marvel at the jumps he gets when the ball comes off the bat.

“I’ve got to make it up somehow, so I take pride in where I’m positioned and the routes that I take,” he said. “That helps me out.”

Almora seems to possess an innate “baseball IQ” that is well above average. That and his athleticism help him make leaping plays like he made Tuesday night.

“Both,” he said. “You watch the game, and you watch how guys do it.

When you jump up, it’s better to go sideways so you can use your feet to get up more. These walls aren’t low at all.

They’re pretty high. The other part is just go out there and do it on your own.

Just feel what’s right and jump.”

Notes: The Cubs will stick with their planned pitching rotation after Wednesday’s rainout. John Lackey will start Thursday’s makeup game. Brett Anderson will start Friday’s series opener at Milwaukee, followed by Kyle Hendricks and Jon Lester.

• Wednesday’s lineup had Jon Jay scheduled to make his first Cubs start in center field. Jason Heyward started Opening Night in center, and Almora was the starter Tuesday.

el my game after – not the fastest guys out there, but the routes are precise and perfect. I saw Jim [Tuesday], and I kind of wanted to go say hello, but I was hitting. I didn’t want to bother anybody.

Yeah, Joe talked to me and told me that as well yesterday, and I thought it was a great comparison.

TIGERS AT WHITE SOX (PPD., RAIN)

Anderson eager for redemption after hitless start

By DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN

dvanschouwen@suntimes.com

CHICAGO – It’s early, but little has gone well for the White Sox in this first week of the season. Opening Day at Guaranteed Rate Field was rained out after the opening ceremonies Monday, and then a small crowd watched Jose Quintana get tagged for three homers in a 6-3 Tigers triumph in the delayed opener Tuesday.

On Wednesday, they were rained out for the second time in three days. The game will be made up May 26, a Friday, as part of a straight doubleheader beginning at 4:10 p.m.

Shortstop Tim Anderson, still basking in the glow of having signed a $25 million contract extension and already enjoying it – he bought his mom a new car last week, and it was hard to tell who was more thrilled, mother or son – was

brought back to earth, too, going 0 for 4 with three strikeouts against the Tigers’ Justin Verlander and Bruce Rondon.

Anderson was eager to get back to the park Wednesday to put that one behind him – he left four runners on base and was standing in the on-deck circle as the potential tying run when Tyler Saladino made Tim Anderson the final out – but had to wait another day, and probably for a colder, windy one at that, with Thursday morning temperatures expected in the 30s.

“A guy like [Verlander], he’s going to be dominant, he’s been dominant for many years,’’ Anderson said. “We gotta keep fighting and keep going.”

And learning. A good fastball hitter, he struck out on elevated fastballs each

time.

“I couldn’t quite find my zone today,” he said.

The Sox view Anderson as a building block at a premium position, and his progress is a key part of their rebuild. He is a bit of a free swinger, and some would like to see him raise his on-base percentage with more walks. Manager Rick Renteria isn’t going to push that because he believes it will evolve naturally.

“Everybody talks about walks,” Renteria said. “This guy swings the bat and puts the bat on the ball pretty well, and he ends up getting pretty good results.

For the most part, experience and time will help him continue to cultivate recognizing pitches. He’s young.”

As he works at that at age 23 in the majors, “everybody has to understand [pitchers will] adapt to him,” Renteria said, “and he’s going to have to continue to work through that process to give

himself a chance to have good at-bats and swing at strikes.”

That process resumes Thursday.

“The best thing about it is I get to come back out tomorrow and compete again,” Anderson said.

Notes: Tickets for Wednesday’s postponed game are now a gift certificate, the Sox announced, and fans should exchange those game tickets and parking coupons for tickets of equal or lesser value to any future regular-season home game. All exchanges must be done at the Guaranteed Rate Field box office or by mail. Tickets for Wednesday can’t be used for entry May 26, a Friday. Fans with tickets for the 7:10 p.m. game May 26 may attend both games of the doubleheader.

BLACKHAWKS

Blackhawks left wing Ryan Hartman (left) loses control of the puck as Colorado’s Duncan Siemens defends in the second period of a game Tuesday in Denver.

Only seven Hawks have scored more even-strength goals as a rookie than Hartman’s 18 – an impressive list that includes Steve Larmer, Eric Daze, Darryl Sutter, Denis Savard, Artemi Panarin, Jeremy Roenick and Eddie Olczyk. Patrick Kane had only 14 evenstrength goals as a rookie, and Jonathan Toews had 17.

Hartman’s 19 total goals are the 17th most by a Hawks rookie, and he’s done it while playing only 12:44 a game – far less than the likes of Kane (18:21) and

Toews (18:40).

Not bad for a guy who’s primary goal at the start of the season was to simply make the team.

“I didn’t really set any number goals,” Hartman said after scoring goal No. 19 on Tuesday in Colorado. “My goal was to make the team, and then stay on the team, and then produce. Those three segments. As the year went on, we kind of knocked one off [at a time].”

BULLS

Wade practices, could return as early as Saturday

By JOE COWLEY

jcowley@suntimes.com PHILADELPHIA – So much for Dwyane Wade’s old bones.

Not only did the 35-year-old guard go through a good portion of Wednesday’s practice – including taking contact – but could return to the floor as early as Saturday, as the Bulls finish their current four-game road trip in Brooklyn.

“It would be great to get him back,’’ coach Fred Hoiberg said. “Obviously, you look at [Tuesday’s loss to the Knicks], for example. It would have been nice to have a guy to go out there to play-make and be able to put the ball in the basket when we were really struggling in that area, so yeah, when he’s

ready to go we’ll get him back out there.

“I’m sure we’ll have to have a little bit of a restriction on his minutes, but hopefully get him back in a rhythm these last few games.’’

A far cry from back on March 15, when Wade suffered a dislocated right elbow and was ruled out for the Dwyane remainder of the regu- Wade lar season. There was no timetable put on it beyond that, but the Sun-Times learned last week that Wade indeed had a timetable on a return, telling teammate Jimmy Butler to get the Bulls to postseason play and he would be back.

Now, it could be even sooner.

“He says that he feels good, which he’s supposed to say because he wants to come back and play,’’ Butler said of Wade. “But I don’t want him to hurry back and reinjure it or make it worse.

I want him out there on the floor, so it’s kind of a, ‘I want you back, but I don’t want you to jeopardize anything.’

But he was out there [in the Wednesday practice], scoring the basketball, passing the basketball, man, guarding.

[Bleep] it’s easier when he’s out there.’’

In Wade’s absence, the Bulls went 6-4, but that also included a Tuesday night loss in New York in which the offense looked lethargic most of the evening.

So while the offense statistically played better without Wade, well, Butler’s still not buying the idea that the

Bulls would be better off without the veteran for these four remaining regular-season games, especially with a playoff spot still on the line.

“A game like [Tuesday] night doesn’t show how much he’s missed,’’ Butler said. “I think every game, win or lose, shows how much he’s missed because he’s a part of this team. We need him, we want him out there with us. It doesn’t take a loss on the road to say we miss a Dwyane Wade. With a win on the road we still want him out there with us.’’

Hoiberg said that the next obstacle Wade has to clear is that he needs to feel good Thursday after the Wednesday scrimmage, do some more conditioning Thursday, and then make it out of the Friday practice with no setbacks.

• Thursday, April 6, 2017

DENVER — Seven years ago, Ryan Hartman was able to partake in the Blackhawks’ Stanley Cup revelry as a fan, a 15-year-old kid who was one of 2 million people who poured into the streets of downtown Chicago for the championship parade.

Two years ago, Hartman was a whole lot closer to the action as a black ace, a prospect called up after Game 1 of the Western Conference final to travel and practice with the Hawks as they marched to their third Stanley Cup in six seasons.

This year, Hartman will be right in the middle of what the Hawks hope will be another run at a championship.

“Seeing the celebration and how happy [they were], and the joy on some of these guys’ faces was something I enjoyed,” Hartman said. “But I wasn’t necessarily part of it, per se. For the last two years, that’s been a pretty big motivator for me, to be on the other side of it, and be the one who’s there playing and winning it. Hopefully, we’ll make a good push.”

If they do, Hartman is sure to play a big role. While he won’t be in the Calder Trophy discussion with the likes of budding superstars Auston Matthews and Patrik Laine, the 2013 first-round pick out of West Dundee has put together one of the best rookie seasons in Hawks history.

and are among the favorites to win it all is their scoring depth. If Hartman can tally one more goal in the final two games of the season – at Anaheim on Thursday and at Los Angeles on Saturday – he’d become the seventh Hawks player to hit the 20-goal mark. Last season, the Hawks had only four, three of whom were on the same line.

But Hartman’s offensive numbers are balanced out by his penalty minutes, which have risen dramatically in the second half of the season and earned him a benching in Tampa last week.

Joel Quenneville has been pleased with Hartman’s play, but needs him to toe the line.

“He has been good for us,” Quenneville said. “Gives us a little bite, being an edgy player, knowing the fine line you have to walk, how the referees are going to be watching you. Thats something that he’s growing in, and there’s still some room to improve in that area.

The consistency of his game, being around the net, wanting the puck, and coming up with loose pucks is something he’s gotten better at. And he still has room for improvement. He still has upside to his game. He’s had a real nice year, but don’t be satisfied.”

After getting a taste of Stanley Cup success, that shouldn’t be a problem for Hartman.

“It’s been a good year of us all around – we’re first in our division and we got playoffs coming up,” Hartman said.

“We’re all pretty excited for that.”

Johnson’s injury, weather bring uncertainty to Masters

By DOUG FERGUSON The Associated Press

AUGUSTA, Ga. – The Masters should be the easiest to predict of golf’s four major championships.

It got a lot harder Wednesday afternoon when Dustin Johnson, the betting favorite and No. 1 player in the world, took a serious fall down a staircase at his rented home and wasn’t sure he could even tee it up at Augusta National.

His agent, David Winkle at Hambric Sports Management, said Johnson landed “very hard on his lower back.”

He was treating it with ice and medication and told to remain immobile.

Winkle said Johnson hopes to be able to play.

He was scheduled for the last group Thursday at 2:03 p.m.

The Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook immediately dropped the odds of Johnson winning from 11-2 to sharing the

top billing at 7-1 with Jordan Spieth and Rory McIlroy.

Telling were the comments Johnson had made Tuesday, when he was talking about the state of his game after three straight victories.

“I’ve got a lot of confidence in my game right now, especially with the way I’ve been playing the last few tournaments,” Johnson said. “But, you know, anything can happen.”

That’s true at just about every Mas-

ters, although the mishaps typically occur on the golf course.

Johnson’s status only adds to the mystery at the year’s first major.

The Masters has the smallest field, with only 94 players, and that’s before history starts eliminating about 40 percent of them.

No amateur has ever won the Masters, and five of them are in the field

Fans stand under a tree during the Par 3 competition Wednesday at the Masters golf tournament in Augusta, Ga.

Continued from page 30 this year. There are 19 players at Augusta National for the first time, and not since 1979 has a Masters rookie (Fuzzy Zoeller) left with a green jacket. No one older than 46-year-old Jack Nicklaus has won the Masters, so that wipes out 11 more players.

No one has ever won his first tournament at the Masters, which doesn’t bode well for Roberto Castro or Kevin Chappell. And only three players since the Masters began in 1934 have ever won back to back. Sorry, Danny Willett.

So who does that leave?

The obvious choices would be Johnson (presuming he recovers), McIlroy or Jason Day, the top three players in the world. Impossible to overlook is Spieth, who has never finished worse than runner-up in his three Masters appearances.

But in the past 10 years, only one player from among the top three in the

world ranking won the Masters – Phil Mickelson (3) in 2010.

“That’s what makes the golf course wonderful actually, and what a great tournament it is,” Nicklaus said. “Because you really never know what’s going to happen. Even the players, as good as they might be, don’t know what’s going to happen.”

For the second time in three days, the course was shut down for the afternoon by severe weather.

Thousands of fans headed to the exit at 10 a.m. as a storm approached, and while the gates opened again at 12:30 p.m. for the Par 3 Contest, the fun was suspended an hour later when another storm arrived.

The curtain rises on the 81st Masters on Thursday with a course that figures to be softened by rain, which could be good news for McIlroy.

It could also be confounding because of wind that always feels stronger than it really is among the Georgia pines, which could be bad news for McIlroy.

32 NASCAR

Blaney’s strong start should earn him attention CHARLOTTE, N.C. – It’s time to pay attention to Ryan Blaney, the second-year NASCAR driver who is as close to a throwback as fans are going to get from this current crop of talent.

He’s a second-generation Cup driver, North Carolina raised, and prefers Bill Elliott T-shirts and Talladega 500 hats to anything hip and trendy.

More important, Blaney is pretty good behind the wheel of a race car and has proven through the first six races of this season that he won’t bow down to the stars of the sport. His 25thplace finish Sunday at Martinsville Speedway tells next to nothing about his race, where he ran in the top 10 for a large portion of the day and scored points in the first two stages.

But he also mixed it up on the track with seven-time champion Jimmie Johnson, and had yet another run-in with Dale Earnhardt Jr. It was the second time in three weeks the two tangled on the track, and Earnhardt hit decline on his cellphone when Blaney called to discuss the incident after Sunday’s race.

“Too soon ol boy,” Earnhardt wrote on Twitter .

Blaney lives on land that Earn-

IN THE PITS Jenna Fryer hardt owns, and he landed in the doghouse when he used an expletive on his team radio about NASCAR’s most popular driver. He atoned for it by giving Earnhardt’s wife flowers the next week, and vowing to bring the beer the next time Blaney hangs out with Earnhardt.

Earnhardt chuckled Sunday when the two had contact yet again.

Johnson found nothing funny about how hard Blaney raced him, and grumbled on his radio about the 23-year-old.

But Blaney, at least on his team radio, doesn’t back down and is adamant he can hold his own on the track. His results this year have gotten him noticed – he was second in the Daytona 500, seventh at Las Vegas and ninth at California – and he currently sits seventh in the point standings.

Blaney is theoretically a Team Penske driver, although he’s farmed out to The Wood Brothers and drives the

iconic No. 21 Ford. The relationship has returned that car to prominence, and has Blaney closing in on his first career Cup victory. If looking for a new favorite driver, Blaney is the one to back before it becomes the cool thing to do.

JIMMIE JOHNSON

He’s off to the worst start of his storied career. He’s yet to score a topfive finish this year, and the reigning NASCAR champion has never before gone four races into the season without cracking that mark. He finished 15th Sunday at Martinsville, where he should have been among the contenders. A nine-time winner at the Virginia track, his victory there last fall was the springboard to his record-tying seventh title.

There was tension on his team radio, too, as he bickered with crew chief Chad Knaus midway through the race. Johnson was angry with Blaney and Kyle Larson, and racing harder than Knaus would have liked.

So Knaus told him to take care of his car, to which Johnson complained he received mixed messages and thought he’d been encouraged to “handle

(Blaney) on the track.”

It’s far too early to panic about Johnson’s slow start, and important to remember that Hendrick Motorsports was off much of last year until gains were made that propelled Johnson to the title. But, it’s interesting that his seventh title has created somewhat of a hangover effect at the start of this year.

RICKY STENHOUSE JR.

He brazenly moved Kyle Busch out of his way Sunday at Martinsville to stay on the lead lap, and it led to his first career top-10 finish at the track.

That’s almost a win for Stenhouse, who was also fourth earlier this month at Phoenix.

Although he’s only 20th in the standings, Stenhouse has a pair of top-10 finishes to open the season and he only had a grand total of six of them last year. It comes as Roush Fenway Racing has retracted to two Cup cars, and Stenhouse desperately needs strong finishes to help the struggling team attract new sponsorship.

and strong.

Or, as Van Der Karr put it, Council 4400 “is not an old man’s organization.”

The Knights offer plenty of activities for youth: an annual Christmas party, as well as free-throw and essay contests.

The annual spaghetti dinner, the annual picnic and serving dinner at Daybreak Center are additional activities the entire family can enjoy together.

“We don’t have a pool table anymore,” Van Der Karr said, “but there’s lots of things people can do.”

Former Grand Knight Don Ardaugh of Plainfield agreed. Ardaugh joined Council 4400 more than 40 years ago to give back to the community while increasing his Catholic faith. Many of Ardaugh’s relatives belonged – and still belong – to the council.

To view Wrigley Jameson’s project, visit http://shawurl.com/31ns.

The eighth-grade technology classes created their renditions of the Stations of the Cross by drawing out the stations and adding a podcast indicating the background of their specific station.

Next, students created QR codes

to hang up under each station in the church. This way parishioners and students can view and hear the rendition of the Station by using an app on their phones or iPads.

Ami Young, technology teacher for kindergarten through eighth grade, said hearing-impaired individuals will be able to read the closed captions.

Those who are visually impaired can hear the podcasts.

At the time, membership consisted mostly of men who worked at the refineries, the EJ&E Railroad and the former Joliet Steel Works – and even the farmers from New Lenox, he said.

Members put up their own resources to maintain the building and grounds, which still are maintained today, he said.

Fundraising for local nonprofits, sponsoring youth sports leagues and numerous service projects are other examples of how Council 4400 gives back to the community.

“It makes me feel good to be part of this team,” Ardaugh said.

Know more Charities: The club participates in statewide Knights of Columbus charities.

This includes the “Tootsie Roll” drive for the intellectually disabled and support for vocations and disasters. Donations collected from the 2016 Tootsie Roll drive were donated to Cornerstone Services Inc. in Joliet and will be used to support its art program.

Council officers: Chaplain the Rev. Greg Podwysocki, Grand Knight Shane Gordan, Deputy Grand Knight Tim McGrath and District Deputy Tom Curcio. In addition, four charter members still belong to the council.

Fish fry: The club’s fish fry earned a The Herald-News 2016 Readers Choice Award.

Fraternally: The club holds a business meeting twice a month, an annual family picnic in the summer and a children’s Christmas party in December. Rosaries and a memorial Mass for deceased members are held during the year.

Fundraisers: The Fur, Fins and Feathers sportsmen’s dinner will be in the spring, a golf outing will be in the summer and a car show will be in the fall.

Membership: All practicing Catholic men age 18 and older may join. Dues are $40 a year.

Hard contact on soccer pitch can cause concussion

concussive impact, accidental contact, such as an elbow to the head or colliding with another player, was even more common.

Research into sports-related concussions has previously focused on football and hockey, where bruising impacts are part of the game. Now, scientists are expanding their inquiries into soccer.

Soccer is the world’s most popular team sport. It is estimated that amateur players head the ball up to 12 times a game. Add in practice drills, and this can add up to 2,000 headers over 20 years. The question now is whether the effect of all those headers on the delicate structures of the brain can be cumulative.

For the authors of the American study, the answer was yes. They recommend players be aware of any concussion symptoms, even absent a conclusive concussion diagnosis. Should symptoms appear, players must avoid another collision in the following weeks, when the risk of another concussion spikes significantly.

The truth is, all physical activity carries both risks and benefits. One thing we discuss with our patients regarding soccer is the risk of knee injury, given the high lateral impact forces.

It sounds as though your husband is staying abreast of the latest research, which is wise. He can use it to decide how – and even whether – he decides to play soccer in the future.

Dear Doctor: My husband, who plays in a weekend soccer league, is troubled by some new reports he has read that suggest soccer might be as dangerous as football. Can you explain the studies?

Dear Reader: Your husband may be referring to a pair of studies published in February that examined the potential risks of heading the ball, a common move in soccer. One study, conducted at a British university, found signs of brain damage in a group of professional soccer players, all of whom had decades-long careers. The other study, published by researchers at Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York, focused on amateur players. The study found an increased risk of concussion both from heading the ball and from accidental contact during a game.

But before you insist your husband turns in his cleats, let’s take a closer look at the data.

The British study examined 14 retired soccer players with dementia. The men, skilled at heading the ball, played for an average of 26 years each. When the brain tissue of six of the players was examined after their death, researchers found signs of trauma.

In four of the six brains, this included chronic traumatic encephalopathy, a progressive degenerative disease also found in professional boxers, football players and hockey players. Although the small sample size of the British study kept researchers from drawing conclusions, they agreed the results reveal the need for large-scale studies.

In the American study, researchers followed 222 amateur soccer players, both men and women. Players reported how often they headed the ball, as well as any accidental blows to the head during play. They also rated the severity of symptoms like headache, dizziness, altered vision, weakness or confusion, which can indicate concussion.

The researchers concluded that while heading the ball increased a player’s risk of

Dear Readers:

DEAR ABBY Today marks the 100th anniverJeanne sary of AmeriPhillips ca’s entry into World War I. In commemoration, I’m mentioning a special initiative to save America’s war letters. Almost 20 years ago I wrote about a historian, Andy Carroll, who had launched a project to seek out and preserve war-related letters as a way of honoring and remembering our veterans, troops and their loved ones.

After the column appeared, Andy was deluged with responses. Today, that collection holds an estimated 100,000 wartime correspondences – from handwritten letters penned during the American Revolution and Civil War, to emails from Iraq and Afghanistan.

Andy has donated the entire collection to Chapman University in Orange, California, and the project is now called the Center for American War Letters.

This week, Andy and CAWL are kicking off an ambitious Million Letters Campaign.

Andy will travel nationwide speaking at public libraries, museums, Veterans of Foreign Wars and American Legion posts, civic groups, places of worship, military academies and more to explain the importance of these correspondences and encourage people to share with him their own war-related letters and emails. If you know of someone who has war letters, please share this information so the stories and voices of the men and women who have sacrificed so much for our nation will be preserved.

Andy would love to meet in person anyone with letters to contribute to this “Million Letters Campaign” and is always seeking new venues. If you know of a place he should speak, email him about it. For families with letters who cannot attend, submissions can be sent to Andrew Carroll/CAWL Chapman University, 1 University Drive, Orange, CA 92866. (Originals are preferred, but scans are also appreciated.)

Ultimately, Andy and CAWL are seeking letters from ALL American wars, on ANY subject matter. For information on how to attend or invite Andy to your community, visit www.WarLetters.us.

Dear Abby: My son, “Tom,” is a senior in high school. About a month ago, he asked a girl named “Allie” to the prom. She said yes. Allie’s mom is a hairdresser. My husband and I don’t know her or her husband. Allie’s mother has asked two different people about us. One of them told us about it; the other I heard about secondhand. So last week I introduced myself to her at a local function. We spoke briefly, and I told her I would be in touch. A few days ago I called to invite her out for coffee and left a message with my phone number. She hasn’t called me back. What can I do to get to know Allie’s mother better? – Prom Mom Dear Prom Mom: Make an appointment to have your hair done, and you’ll have at least an hour with her.

Charles Lamb, an English essayist, poet and antiquarian who died in 1834, said, “I arrive very late at work in the morning, but I make up for it by leaving very early in the afternoon.”

He must have been self-employed.

Otherwise, he would surely have been following Robert Frost’s observation that “by working faithfully eight hours a day, you may eventually get to be boss and work 12 hours a day.”

In today’s deal, East has to work hard to defeat South’s three-spade contract. Can he succeed?

It was reasonable for South to invite game with his three-spade rebid. But North, although he had 15 points, discounted the heart queen and passed.

West should lead the heart two, low from length, in partner’s unsupported suit. East wins with the eight and cashes the heart king. But what does he do next?

He might continue with the ace and his other club. That would work well if South immediately tried the spade finesse, because East would receive a club ruff. But if declarer cautiously cashed the spade ace and led the spade queen, he would get home.

Here, it is stronger defense for East to play a third heart. If South ruffs on the board and takes a trump finesse, West can win with his king and lead a club to East’s ace. Then a fourth heart promotes West’s spade 10 as the setting trick.

If South guesses the distribution, he can still make the contract with a trump endplay on West, but it is complicated, and I have run out of space!
