This week’s election showed how much readers care We can count how many people read a story on our website.

In print, it’s much more difficult to know.

Sometimes, several people call about something. Most times, they don’t.

This week, I received several calls about election results. People wanted more. Now we know.

On Tuesday night, we covered what we could. We added a list of other major area elections and referendums.

We came back the next day and followed up on the area’s contested mayoral races along with the Joliet Junior College race and more on the high-profile races such as Joliet’s city council.

But there were plenty of township races and some school board races that were not published.

Heading into the election, the number of viewers on stories about most of the races were low.

People didn’t seem highly engaged, outside of a few heated races, such as

VIEWS Jon Styf Joliet’s city council, the Lincoln-Way school board, Bolingbrook’s mayor and the Plainfield library referendum.

Boosted by an excellent photo gallery inside the walls of the old Collins Street prison, however, our website had its best two days in site history this week, in part due to readers following the election.

It shows that many people were engaged, much moreso after the election than before it.

So we’ve heard you and, this weekend, new reporter Alex Ortiz’s first assignment was working on a more thorough list of results of local races to publish.

It might be too little, too late for your taste. But we’ve heard your calls and are

responding.

While I’m at it, welcome Alex to The Herald-News. He’s a Romeoville native, a graduate student at Northwestern and worked two summers ago with me as an intern with Shaw Media at the Northwest Herald and Chicago Football.

We’re excited to have Alex join our reporting team.

I also want to congratulate Anna Schier on recently being named news editor at The Herald-News. Anna has been here several years, with several titles, but she will be continuing to lead our daily news reporting in Joliet in her new role.

And remember, keep calling us with news tips and your thoughts on our news reporting. We’re listening.

Joliet council meets Wednesday on Hock replacement

By BOB OKON

bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The City Council will hold a special meeting Wednesday to discuss plans for hiring a new city manager.

City Manager Jim Hock informed the mayor and City Council on Thursday that he will retire on May 3.

Hock said on Friday that there are no issues at city hall prompting his departure other than that he decided it was time to Jim Hock retire.

“There comes a time in your life,” said Hock, 62. “I’ve had 39 years in local government. For the last 10 years, I’ve heard about people I’ve hired retiring after 30 years. I thought I’d join the group.”

Hock has been city manager in Joliet since November 2013.

The meeting on Wednesday will be 5:30 p.m. in City Hall. The agenda includes an open discussion on the hiring process for a new city manager to be followed by a closed session to discuss personnel.

City Council members said they were surprised to get an email from Hock on Thursday about his decision to retire.

They also said there were no issues with Hock’s work.

Hock, too, said there were no internal issues leading to his decision.

He said there are possibilities that he could remain in some capacity during the transition period to a new city manager, although he plans to travel to South Carolina in May for a grandchild’s graduation.

Hock said his years in Joliet have been among the busiest in his career.

“This job’s been the most challenging, and it’s the most rewarding because of that,” he said.

for the past few years with Amazon.com building two fulfillment centers, redevelopment occurring downtown, and the development of an agreement to build a toll bridge across the Des Plaines River.

“I’m very proud of what we’ve accomplished, and things are lined up to keep progressing,” he said.

Among the decisions the council will have to make is what to do during the transition period and how to replace Hock, Mayor Bob O’Dekirk said.

“It’s going to be a council decision on how to handle it,” O’Dekirk said.

When Hock’s predecessor, Thomas Thanas, resigned, it was six months before Hock started. The city hired an executive search firm to find a successor.

Thanas stayed in the interim.

O’Dekirk said the council could consider naming an interim city manager from staff until a permanent city manager is hired.

RETAIL CLOSINGS BEGIN TO TAKE TOLL

Cullinan says Joliet plan still on track

By BOB OKON

bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Retailer after retailer has announced bankruptcies, store closings and warnings about their future.

On Friday, hhgregg, the electronics retailer that has a store in Joliet, announced that it has failed to find a buyer and will begin closing all stores.

Earlier in the week, Payless ShoeSource announced bankruptcy and said it will close nearly 400 stores, including 13 in Illinois, although not in Joliet.

This year, JCPenney, Macy’s and Gander Mountain all have announced

store closings, although not in Joliet.

Sears issued a notice to investors that its ability to continue doing business is in doubt.

“It’s a world being redefined,” said Steve Caton, a principal with Caton Commercial Real Estate, which sells commercial property around the Louis Joliet Mall. “We’re going to see a lot of changes.”

Many of the changes have not hit Joliet, at least not yet.

Retailers that stay in business are keeping stores open in Joliet even while closing them elsewhere, a sign of the strength of the local market.

But when companies such as hhgregg go out of business, Joliet stores go down with it.

MC Sports is in the process of closing its store in the Louis Joliet Mall as that company shuts down. Family Christian Stores, a nonprofit retail-

“It’s a world being redefined.

We’re going to see a lot of changes.”

Steve Caton

Caton Commercial Real Estate principal er that also is going out of business, closed its store in the mall last week.

Rock Run Crossings

All this is happening while Joliet makes plans with a developer who wants to develop a regional retail center at Interstates 55 and 80.

Cullinan Properties is moving forward with its plan for the 265-acre Rock Run Crossings project, although the company will not make a presentation to the Joliet City Council this

month as previously planned, said Anaise Berry, director of marketing.

“We don’t build these developments with just retail in mind,” Berry said. “We look at a broader concept.

The plan for Rock Run Crossings is more than just retail alone.”

The plan includes hotels, restaurants, entertainment venues, office space and even housing.

“It’s something that we feel would draw from Iowa, Indiana and central Illinois,” Berry said.

Still, the plan raises questions of whether Joliet could support both the Louis Joliet Mall retail area and Rock Run Crossings.

Berry’s answer is that it won’t have to, because Rock Run Crossings would be designed for a different market.

Caton agrees both areas could

Chicagoland Speedway hosts ‘Go Green for Spring’ event

By ALEX ORTIZ

aortiz@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Andy Gaddis was one of dozens of racing fans who came out to the Chicagoland Speedway on Saturday for the “Go Green for Spring” event.

As a season pass holder, he was able to drive the mile and a half lap. Since he’s been bringing his son to watch the races for about five years now, he figured it’d be cool to drive the track himself.

“It leans,” Gaddis said about the angle the track takes on turns. “It really shows you what the drivers go through, but only not at the same g-force.”

The event wasn’t just for the fans though. To drive around the track, fans donated to Racing Advocates for Community Enrichment, or RACE, a Donor Advised Fund of the NASCAR Foundation which collects money to donate to other nonprofits and charitable organizations.

Alex Ortiz – aortiz@shawmedia.com

To drive around the track, fans donated to Racing Advocates for Community Enrichment, or RACE, a Donor Advised Fund of the NASCAR Foundation which collects money to donate to other nonprofits and charitable organizations.

Since 2012, RACE has raised over $300,000 in grants to donate to local com-

munity agencies focused on youth, military and safe driving initiatives.

“It’s just our way of being a good corporate citizen and giving back to the community,” said Scott Paddock, president of the Chicagoland Speedway. “It’s one of the rare opportunities we allow our fans to drive the hallowed magnificent mile and a half here that names like [Dale] Earnhardt Jr. and Kevin Harvick are going to be competing on.”

Fans were also able to bid on 50/50 raffles items like race flags, a jersey signed by Kurt and Kyle Busch and Chicago Cubs tickets. Other local organizations like the Northern Illinois Food Bank and Big Brothers Big Sisters of Will and Grundy Counties set up booths and the Joliet Fire and Police Departments also attended with their “TouchA-Truck” program for kids.

But for racing fans like Gaddis, the highlight still was getting to finally be out on the track like their favorite drivers.

“It was a blast,” Gaddis said. “I wish they’d let me go faster.”

Q&A: Get to know new Joliet council member Don ‘Duck’ Dickinson

By BRIAN STANLEY

bstanley@shawmedia.com Don “Duck” Dickinson was elected Tuesday to the Joliet City Council. He sat down with senior reporter Brian Stanley to discuss his background and what he’d like to accomplish.

Stanley: First question – congratulations?

Dickinson: Yeah, I think I know what I’m getting into. It’s been a whirlwind.

Dozens and dozens of phone calls and people coming up to me. I expect I’m going to be very busy, but I’m a hard worker.

Stanley: Secondly, [the nickname Dickinson had been listed on the ballot] – “Duck”?

Dickinson: I was a pretty good

softball hitter many years ago and was often one of the “ducks on the pond” for my team. That’s how everyone knows me. I’ll have that on my [council] nameplate, if it’s up to me.

I ran a softball league and coached 1,000 kids over the years, that and the park district are where I’ve gotten to know so many people. They’re grownups now, but a lot of them keep in touch. I’m still a softball umpire.

Stanley: So what’s your background?

Did your parents have an interest in politics?

Dickinson: Not at all. I grew up in the

Bridalwreath subdivision. I went to Carl Sandburg Grade School, Hufford Junior High, Joliet West High School and Joliet Junior College.

I was a tool-and-die maker at Panduit [then] was hired by the Joliet Park District. I did maintenance at the outdoor water park and pools for 12 years and, for the last three years, I’ve been driving trucks for the park services division.

Stanley: Best tip you can offer Joliet’s residential swimmers after a dozen years of pool maintenance?

Dickinson: Make sure you keep chlo-

rine in there. We all know that, but it’s the best thing you can do for it.

Stanley: And why did you become a Joliet Township High School board member?

Dickinson: The same reasons I ran

for City Council. I like to have a say in where things are going. I don’t like to complain if you’re not willing to do something about it. [My first election] in 2007, I was two votes ahead on election night but ended up losing by three when the provisional ballots came in.

That killed me. So I made sure I did better in 2011 and 2015.

I’ve loved being a part of the board.

If I hadn’t won I’d be happy to go back, but City Council is something I’ve always wanted.

Stanley: Why? Dickinson: I love Joliet. This is my

town. I think it always gets a bad rap, but I think the people here are great.

I’ve lived here, raised three kids here as a single father for 10 years. That’s the hardest thing I’ve ever done, but the most rewarding thing I’ve ever done.

Stanley: What are your kids doing now?

Dickinson: Taylor, 26, is a special

education teacher in San Jose, California. Andrew, 23, just graduated from Elmhurst College with a degree in computer game and entertainment technology, and Allie, 22, works at Rue 21. There’s also a dog and a cat at home ... at least, the cat was there as of this morning.

Stanley: So assuming the veteran council members tell you they’re happy to go along with every idea you have, what’s next for the city?

Dickinson: That’s a good way to put

it. I didn’t [campaign] saying, “This will get done. That will get done.”

I’m joining a team that has to work together.

Being a single father, I know how important a dollar is. I’m proud the high school board never went after taxpayers for more money while I was there and I will try to do the same on the council.

I’ve followed city government and I’m pretty familiar with everything that’s been going on. I would like to find the money to increase policing. As

Don “Duck” Dickinson

the city’s gotten bigger, the number of police have gotten smaller.

I want to actively recruit companies with better-paying jobs to come here by offering incentives or whatever we can do as a council. I also want to [prioritize] improving infrastructure.

You can’t go down a street in this town where there’s not a patch.

fsarver@shawmedia.com ROMEOVILLE – The new president of Lewis University shared his vision for higher education in a rapidly changing world.

David Livingston has been the new leader of the Roman Catholic and Lasallian university since last July. He has replaced Brother James Gaffney, who retired after 28 years as president. Livingston said that since his time at the university, there have been many positive things happening on campus.

“It’s been a very positive year,” he said.

Livingston officially was inaugurated as the president of the university Friday in a ceremony that saw many students, faculty, alumni, higher education leaders and university officials.

During his inaugural address, Livingston said he believes higher education is an important part of bending the “arc of history toward justice.”

The world struggles with economic inequality, racial tensions, gender inequality, global warming and other issues and also experiences rapid changes in medicine and technology, he said.

“There’s much to hope for and much

to be concerned about. The power that comes with incredible technological advances also comes with greater responsibility. That is why I believe the university is more essential now than ever,” Livingston said.

He said it’s not enough for students to be educated into professions but to be prepared for occupations “we cannot even imagine today.”

Livingston proposed four concepts that are generally important in higher education: conversation, master learner, experiential learning and freedom,

THE FUTURE IS BETTER THAN YOU THINK

the latter of which is the ultimate outcome of education.

Education at its core is “one long conversation” and being a master learner means Lewis graduates must learn to learn or develop the capacity of wanting to learn new things, he said.

“Our graduates must be both critical and creative thinkers, they must be able to see around the corners but also be able to see through what is false and misleading,” Livingston said.

In a connection to the concept of conversation, Livingston said that, in

a few weeks, the university will begin construction of its new student center named in honor of Gaffney, which will include spaces for students to have conversations.

Among other developments he mentioned was university expanding its asset in the field of science, technology, engineering and mathematics with additional faculty.

In an interview before the inauguration, Livingston said he was excited to see more academic programs come to Lewis and growth in the aviation program.

Lewis also is receiving students from further distances and that coupled with the great strengths of the university may make it one of the key higher education institutions in the southwest suburbs of Chicago, he said.

Russ Smyth, Lewis University board chairman, said he was thrilled and privileged to officially welcome Livingston to the university. He said the board is confident the right person was found to build on the strong foundations of Lewis and lead it in a rapidly changing environment.

“Congratulations and, on behalf the entire board, we are absolutely thrilled to have you with us,” he said.

Romeoville police hold gun buyback

By BRIAN STANLEY

bstanley@shawmedia.com ROMEOVILLE – Some of the guns had spent years in the backs of closets, or they’d been tossed in old desks or gathering dust in the attic. One rifle had been hung over a mantle. Some of the firearms were junk held together with tape, while others were freshly oiled and ready to take to the range.

Whatever the condition, Romeoville police handed over $60 cash for each one brought in Saturday morning.

“Police departments do this nationwide to keep unwanted guns off the streets,” Sgt. Chris Burne said. “When criminals break into houses, [it’s common] to come across guns in the closet people forgot about that will end up being used on the street.”

Police bought 70 firearms in the first two hours of Saturday’s event – about the same amount of rifles and shotguns as handguns, Officer Gary Augustine said.

Residents were met at the station entrance by an officer who checked to make sure the barrels were clear of live rounds. Police wrote down a weapon’s description and serial number before placing it in a plastic tub to be locked in

Whatever the condition, Romeoville police handed over $60 cash for each gun brought into its buyback event Saturday morning. the property room. Any serial number that comes up in the law enforcement database will be sent to the state crime lab or investigating agency.

owners whose relatives want to get rid of them.

“This is a gun my dad had for years.

What am I going to do with it? I hate guns,” Ron Stark told Burne and Augustine. “Sixty bucks is good in my pocket.”

The guns not sent for investigation will be melted down. Several tiny derringers, a revolver with a trigger lock and a sidearm that could’ve dated from frontier days, sat tagged on a desk in the property room.

“We get some that are 50 years old and we get some that are two years old. A lot of World War II weapons,” Burne said. “We’re cops. We like guns and some of these are really nice [collector’s items], but they all get melted down.”

Police paid for up to three guns from each person, but would accept more.

They also took ammunition and BB guns that were brought in.

One woman said it was “an awkward feeling” to walk up to a police station with an armful of rifles.

Saturday was the third time in the past 10 years Romeoville police had a gun buyback. Burne said the department would like to make it an annual event.

Illinois attorney general questionable or if you have already been the victim of fraud. My office does not ask for immigration status.”

Amid the executive orders on immigration in February, Madigan issued an alert warning immigrant communities of possible fraud from individuals illegally posing as lawyers or charging excessive fees for their services. She also warned immigrants of calls from people claiming to be government or law enforcement officials demanding payments and threatening to deport them.

Immigration service providers are required by state law to register with the attorney general’s office, unless they are licensed attorneys or a nonprofit recognized by the Board of Immigration Appeals. Immigration service providers must also provide customers with a written contract in English and their native language, provide a three-day right to cancel the contract and return all documents to the consumer if demanded.

Introducing Gaurav Singh M.D., Ophthalmologist It is with great excitement that we announce the addition of Dr. Gaurav Singh to our practice! Dr. Singh is a board certified ophthalmologist who has been in private practice for over 4 years and comes with a wealth of experience.

Dr. Gaurav Singh is a native of Illinois being brought up in the suburbs of Chicago. He received his Doctor of Medicine from University of Illinois at Chicago in 2008 and then completed a one year internship at Weiss Memorial Hospital in Chicago. Dr. Singh then obtained his specialty training in ophthalmology at the esteemed Medical College of Wisconsin Eye Institute in Milwaukee, WI. Dr. Singh has experience in the latest small-incision cataract surgery including Laser-assisted cataract surgery (LenSx).

In addition, he has a wealth of experience with Advanced Technology Lens (ATL) implantation including Toric and Multifocal lenses. Furthermore, Dr. Singh provides ophthalmic care for many diseases such as Diabetes, Macular degeneration, and Glaucoma. Dr. Singh is experienced in the laser and surgical treatment of glaucoma with special interest in minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS).

Heidelberg Spectralis GMPE Advanced Glaucoma Analysis Dr. Singh is excited to introduce Heidelberg Spectralis GMPE, a new and powerful technology to detect and monitor glaucoma. This technology allows for the identification and segmentation of individual layers, such as the ganglion cell layer in the macula region, and the recognition of anatomical landmarks such as Bruch membrane opening (BMO), through which the optic nerve passes. The identification of the BMO provides a more consistent measurement of the optic disc’s size and rim area. This advanced technology will provide us with an advantage in glaucoma detection and progression.

Attorney General Lisa Madigan filed a lawsuit Thursday against Norma Bonilla of Joliet for allegedly defrauding at least four Illinois residents for more than $10,000 in unlicensed immigration counseling to obtain immigration statuses for which they were not eligible, according to a news release from Madigan’s office.

Madigan filed the lawsuit in Cook County, alleging Bonilla is not a licensed attorney, is not employed by an authorized agency to provide immigration services and has never registered with the attorney general’s office, as required by state law.

“This scam exploited immigrants at a time when many are seeking assistance due to the recent federal executive actions,” Madigan stated in the news release. “Preying on immigrants’ fears and confusion is an appalling scheme, and this lawsuit seeks to stop this fraud.”

The lawsuit alleges Bonilla charged consumers more than $1,000 to obtain immigration records for which the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services charge $35.

Madigan also alleges Bonilla never provided the documents for her consumers, never refunded their money and violated the law by never providing a written contract to explain her services or the cost. Madigan warned Bonilla might still might be operating despite not being able to do so.

“It is critical to find honest and legitimate assistance and know the warning signs of immigration fraud,” Madigan stated. “I encourage people to contact my office if you encounter a solicitation that seems

“It is critical to find honest and legitimate assistance and know the warning signs of immigration fraud. I encourage people to contact my office if you encounter a solicitation that seems questionable or if you have already been the victim of fraud. My office does not ask for immigration status.”

PBS show visits Midewin bison, Route 66 corridor

By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com WILMINGTON – It’s been about a year-and-a-half since bison were reintroduced at the Midewin National Tallgrass Prairie in Wilmington.

Locals are driving to Wilmington to get a glimpse of the herd, which could soon gain more national and international fans and bring more tourists to the area.

The Public Broadcasting Service will air an episode of “Travels with Darley” on WYCC Chicago titled “Route 66 & Midewin” at 8:30 p.m. Wednesday, May 3. The episode will broadcast on PBS’ other affiliates, too.

But locals have a couple of special opportunities to check out the show ahead of everyone else. A preview of the episode took place April 1 in Wilmington, but on Tuesday, a second screening will be held at the Joliet Area Historical Museum, 204 N. Ottawa St., Joliet.

Producer Darley Newman visited Illinois in October to film the show. She’s been working with the National Forest Foundation on a project that shows what the U.S. Forest Service offers, according to a news release from the service.

A reception goes from 4:30 to 6 p.m. and the screening starts at 6 p.m. After the screening, Newman and others involved in production will take part in a Q&A session. A second episode, titled “Ottawa & Beyond,” will also be shown.

“We were lucky to be able to film Midewin, as well as historic and modern attractions along Illinois Route 66 and beyond, making for a diverse set of stories and adventures,” Newman said in the news release.

Heritage Corridor Convention and

When to watch n WHAT: PBS show “Travels with Darley” n WHEN: 8:30 p.m. Wednesday, May 3 n WHERE: WYCC Chicago n NOTE: Special screening 6 p.m. Tuesday at Joliet Area Historical Museum, 204 N. Ottawa St., Joliet.

Visitors Bureau President and CEO Bob Navarro spoke about the show Thursday at a Will County committee meeting.

Navarro said the show initially intended to have Newman film just in Midewin, but she ended up contacting the HCCVB and got more ideas of where to go.

“I wanted her to kind of frame her arrival in Chicago along Route 66 to get to Midewin, and that’s exactly how she did the show,” Navarro said. “So the first half of the show is Route 66 from Chicago to Midewin, and then the second half of the show is on Midewin.”

In the episode, Midewin ecologist Bill Glass leads Newman through the prairie in search of the Midewin bison herd. Along the way, they encounter fields of tall grasses, a crew of volunteers harvesting native Illinois prairie seeds and people picnicking and enjoying the trails of Midewin National Tallgrass Prairie on foot, by bicycle and on horseback, the news release states.

When this season of “Travels with Darley” ends in June, PBS will release the most popular episodes internationally.

“She certainly thinks, because of the Route 66 angle, this show will be picked up internationally,” Navarro said, speaking of the popularity of the Route 66 path.

Retiring Shaw Media CEO reflects on legacy

By CHRISTOPHER HEIMERMAN

cellence of our people.”

cheimerman@shawmedia.com

DIXON – It was frigid. Hands numbed to the cold, hours before the sun rose. Yet there was Tom Shaw and one of his closest friends, Jeff Shoaf, a kid brother of sorts, trapping muskrats in the Rock River.

Tom was in high school, and the trapping season ran from early November until the river froze. He raked in about $200 a week – a year’s worth of spending for a teenager in the late 1950s.

He had to figure out different ways to trap, learned that if you didn’t pull your traps soon enough, the river would freeze, and those $1.50-a-pop contraptions would be lost come the thaw.

Shaw cited that “Tom Sawyer” childhood as a key to his success. It taught him independence and the gratification of going his own way, and touched off a spirit of enterprise.

Perhaps most importantly, he and Jeff grew a bond.

More than five decades later, the relationships he’s built are the cornerstone of Shaw’s legacy.

Toward the end of May, the 69-yearold will retire as chief executive officer of Shaw Media, a name that, in some

His ascension

Shaw Media CEO Tom Shaw will retire near the end of May. iteration, has belonged to his family since 1851, when his great-great-grandfather, Benjamin Flower Shaw, published the first Dixon Telegraph.

Recently, utmost emphasis has been placed on looking at success through employees’ eyes, ensuring success through their happiness and fulfill-

ment and, as a result, contributions to society.

“We enjoy a great reputation, from outsiders who aren’t trying to sell us something,” Shaw said. “A big part of what I’ve accomplished, if there’s a legacy, is that, for Shaw to be legendary because of the commitment to the ex-

Tall for his age at 13, Shaw’s media career began when he passed for a 16-year-old and was hired by Dixon Publishing Co. He graduated from Dixon High School in 1966 and got his bachelor’s degree in business administration in 1970 from Colorado College in Colorado Springs, then considered the Harvard of the West.

He sold subscriptions to the Colorado Springs Gazette between his junior and senior years. Seeing the start of an arc, the family put him into circulation at the Telegraph.

He quickly moved up to accounting but hit a wall within six months.

“I just wasn’t wired for that sort of tedium,” he said.

Long before “community journalism” became an industry buzzword, he bent then-General Manager Arthur Lund’s ear about community events that weren’t being promoted. No one was winning there.

“He told me to go do it. It was also to get me off his back,” he said with a smile.

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

Then-California Gov. Ronald Reagan speaks with Tom Shaw (middle) and his brother, Ben, in 1975 in Chicago. Tom’s grandfather, Ben Shaw, was so impressed with the president that he suggested an editorial urging him to run for president.

• SHAW MEDIA CEO Continued from page 20 A star was born

Shaw advanced to Dixon Telegraph general manager in 1975, a title he held until 1986. He was chief operations officer of Shaw Newspapers from 1986 to 1993, and was named president and chief executive officer in 1993.

Times have changed with the increasing focus on digital content.

Names have changed, too, to reflect that trend, with Shaw Newspapers becoming Shaw Media.

“The challenges just don’t stop, and we’re trying to figure out the model for our business to be viable,” he said.

“I’ve just always had a belief that the people in our company will figure things out. They always have, and we have the right people to continue that tradition.”

Rare in this business, the Shaw company remains a family operation.

His sons J. Tom and Peter are general manager of Shaw Media’s Suburban group and corporate strategy coordinator, respectively. Peter also is a member of Sauk Valley Media’s editorial board.

His other son, Ben, was Shaw Media’s chief digital officer before moving to Germany in 2014, where he is global advisory director for World Association of Newspapers and News Publishers.

His partner

He and his wife, Tammy, have six children and have fostered about 20 kids, most of them infants facing significant distress.

Tammy admitted she’s often taken a moment to admire her husband, particularly the way he doesn’t change between the office and home.

“He is exactly what you see,” she

said. “He’s my hero. He’s very compassionate about what he believes in, to the point of always being meticulous – as a father, he knew everything about his children. As a husband, he’s still my boyfriend. As a churchgoer, he’s still a Bible-reader who wants answers.”

He’s survived colon cancer and had his knees replaced in the past few years, but still, she’s looking forward to challenging him in his retirement.

“I’m an obsessive kayaker, and most of my friends have fallen away because I’m a little bit rabid about it,” she said. “Even though he’s had two knees replaced, he’s eager to be my kayak partner. He’s giving me the best gift ever, that he’s going to try to kayak with me.”

Shaw, a devout Christian, has been on a lifelong faith walk and doesn’t have a bucket list, per se.

“When you just go about your business, opportunities present them selves,” he said.

Approaching retirement has presented another challenge of sorts.

“That part’s been a little bit harder than I thought – to step out of something that’s been such a huge part of my life,” he said.

Their youngest daughter, Kylie, 17, has another year to go at Dixon High, so the family will be around at least another year, during which Shaw will serve on the company’s board of directors.

That’s not to say he’s not ready to let go.

“Your emotional strength has layers,” Shaw said. “Over the past couple of years, I’ve had those layers peeled back. I find myself more vulnerable emotionally. That’s when you know you’re ready to step away.”

‘I always felt like Shaw was home’

About four years ago, Shaw named John Rung as Shaw Media’s president; he will be named CEO when Shaw retires.

Rung is a testament to Shaw’s mission statement: Foster great workers in an environment driven by employees’ vision.

Shaw has seen many employees leave then return; it’s a source of pride. On two occasions, for instance, Rung left for greener pastures in 1995 and 2000, only to return – the last time as publisher of the company’s flagship newspaper, the Northwest Herald in Crystal Lake.

“This was a long-term investment, because I saw value in John’s leadership, his ability to develop people and make things happen,” Shaw said.

“I always felt like Shaw was home,” Rung said. “There’s a freedom here – you don’t feel like you’re looking over your shoulder all the time. It’s about the work, and it’s a supportive, collaborative culture.

“That’s always been his mentality: If you have the right people, even when the industry changes, you’ll always find a way.”

Sam R. Fisher, Sauk Valley Media’s publisher, has known Shaw most of his professional life, since 1983, when the company bought Free Press Newspaper Group, for which Fisher worked.

It owned publications in Crystal Lake, Carpentersville and Elgin.

“I figured, ‘I won’t be here long,’ ” Fisher said. “I didn’t know anybody.

The reason I’m still here is because of him.

“I’ve had other opportunities, but there’s no other newspaper company in the country like this one. Tom always had a vision, and he created a culture where it doesn’t feel like a job.”

It’s always been his job to do, however. When Fisher was about to spend $500,000 on a printing press in Princeton, he asked Shaw for a second opinion.

“He said, ‘No, I’m sure you’ve done your research and you’re making the right decision,’ ” Fisher said.

“He always gives you the latitude to do your job.”

Tom and Tammy returned Tuesday from a 10-day vacation. Even on the brink of retirement, he was exhilarated to learn what he’d missed.

“I’m just overwhelmed by the depth and breadth of information we have,” he said. “Our business model is challenged, but I sit back and wonder whether communities realize how valuable this is, and if we weren’t here, what would the community be like.

“If you have a newspaper that won’t take stands and won’t speak out on issues, or if there isn’t an effective newspaper, the quality of the community, its moral compass and economic viability, they won’t be as good as they should be.”

‘‘

We need to look at consumers. What do they come to retailers for? Some people come to the mall for entertainment. Some come for a place to bring the kids. Some come to socialize.”

Frank Liu, business professor at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign

• RETAIL

Continued from page 3 thrive, but they would have to be distinctly different.

Even in the current business climate, retailers are trying to get spots in Joliet near the mall, he said.

“There’s a lot of retail and restaurants that are not in the Joliet area and that could be there,” Caton said.

“There’s not enough room by the mall.”

Louis Joliet Mall

Caton said his firm constantly gets calls from developers looking for the right space along Route 30 near the mall.

“There’s not a lot of room around there, but it’s a strong market,” he said.

As some stores are closing, others are opening.

Bob’s Discount Furniture, an expanding retailer, is remodeling space previously occupied by Sports Authority, another sporting goods chain that went out of business. A former Pizza Hut on Route 30 was demolished last month to make room for a strip mall.

Bath & Body Works is in the process of remodeling and expanding its store in the Louis Joliet Mall, mall manager Eric Loula said.

Loula said the mall continues to talk with prospective tenants.

“There’s one we’re talking to right now that we don’t have the space for,” he said.

No new tenants have been announced, however, for the Family Christian Store and MC Sports spaces.

As to what might happen if one or more of the mall’s department store anchors were to close, Loula only

would say, “We’re always planning and discussing all future potential vacancies.”

Joliet Economic Development Director Steve Jones said he has no doubt that Starwood Retail Partners, the company that owns Louis Joliet Mall, and other mall owners make contingency plans for the loss of their department store anchors.

“If Sears went out of business, it would leave a big hole in the mall,” Jones said. “But I have no doubt that Starwood would transition that store into smaller businesses or restaurant space.”

The last major addition to the mall was the creation of the Cinemark movie theater, which has helped make the Louis Joliet Mall a destination place for more than just shopping.

Future of retail

Frank Liu, a business professor at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, said retailers need to create something other than a shopping destination for consumers who can buy much of what they want online.

“We need to look at consumers,” Liu said. “What do they come to retailers for? Some people come to the mall for entertainment. Some come for a place to bring the kids. Some come to socialize.”

Liu said the U.S. is due for a retail shake-up because store formats have not changed much since the 1980s. In other countries, he said, stores have created places for kids to play and employed other concepts to make the outing more inviting.

“The U.S. was leading in that [retail] concept many years ago,” he said.

“But if we look at retail globally, that has changed.”

The ASSOCIATED PRESS LONDON – Tim Pigott-Smith, a versatile British actor who recently played Prince Charles on stage and screen, has died at the age of 70.

The actor’s agent, John Grant, said Pigott-Smith died Friday. Grant called him “one of the great actors of his generation ... a gentleman and a true friend.”

Pigott-Smith already was a veteran of stage and screen when he came to international attention as a sadistic police officer in British-controlled India in the 1980s miniseries “The Jewel in the Crown.”

The show became a global sensation, and Pigott-Smith said it “changed my life.”

Born in Rugby, central England in 1946, Pigott-Smith trained at the Bristol

Old Vic theater school and built up a diverse career on stage, television and film. He became a regular on British TV screens in everything from “Doctor Who” to “Downton Abbey,” and had roles in movies including “V for Vendetta,” “Gangs Of New York” and the James Bond thriller “Quantum Of Solace.”

He is due to appear onscreen with Judi Dench in Stephen Frears’ historical drama “Victoria and Abdul,” due for release in Britain in September.

He recently won Olivier and Tony award nominations for the London and New York runs of the play “King Charles III,” which imagines disastrous events after the current heir to the British throne becomes king. He reprised the role for a TV adaptation.

Pigott-Smith is survived by his wife, Pamela Miles, and their son, Tom.

British actor Tim Pigott-Smith poses March 2 at Buckingham Palace in London after receiving his OBE award.

Pigott-Smith has died at the age of 70, his agent John Grant said Friday.

Landlords still paid amid kids’ lead poisoning The ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHICAGO – Taxpayers still are paying landlords as dozens of children are being poisoned by brain-damaging lead while living in homes and apartments declared safe by the Chicago Housing Authority.

Federal law requires the CHA to inspect subsidized homes before families move in and at least once a year afterward.

But a newspaper analysis showed that for the past seven years, at least one child has been diagnosed with lead poisoning in 187 homes the housing

authority approved for occupancy, the Chicago Tribune reported.

The analysis found that the CHA paid the landlords of the hazardous homes over $5.6 million in federal rent subsidies, with nearly $1 million of that delivered to landlords who were facing housing code violations or lawsuits regarding deteriorating lead-based paint.

Young kids remain at risk because the housing inspectors only check visually for cracked and peeling leadbased paint, instead of confirming hazards with dust swabs or hand-held scanners.

The CHA does not consider lead paint a “life-threatening” hazard that landlords must immediately fix in order to collect taxpayer subsidies through the Section 8 voucher program.

The majority of subsidized rentals are in low-income, predominantly African-American neighborhoods on the West and South sides of the city. Harvard University sociologist studying the Englewood neighborhood on the South Side calls lead paint a “pathway through which racial inequality literally gets into your body.”

CHA officials have been saying that

Witness, cop give different accounts of teen’s death

CHICAGO – A woman has testified that a Chicago teenager didn’t appear to be holding a gun when a police officer shot him in the back in 2013, contrary to the officer’s account.

Laticia Whitehead’s videotaped deposition was played for jurors on Friday in the wrongful death lawsuit brought by Patricia Green, whose son Christian Green was 17 when he died, the Chicago Tribune reported. The judge allowed Whitehead’s recorded deposition to be played for the jury because Whitehead was otherwise unavailable to testify, records show.

Whitehead said she saw the black teenager sprinting through a vacant lot toward her South Side apartment on the Fourth of July as a police SUV pulled up and an officer leaned out the window, shooting his gun and striking the teen in the back.

“They didn’t have to do that to him,” she said through tears. “He was just running.”

She said that after Christian Green jerked and fell to the ground, the officer got out of the vehicle, put his foot on the teen’s motionless body and started yelling at him for running.

Earlier Friday, jurors heard a starkly different account from the officer, Robert Gonzalez. Gonzalez testified that Green ignored orders to drop his gun and instead pointed at Gonzalez and his partner before Gonzalez opened fire.

“I thought I was gonna die,” Gonzalez

they are working with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development on a new “proactive approach” to the inspections. But the agency’s renewed guidelines for the voucher program in February showed no changes to its inspection procedures.

“By failing to do anything about the lead, they are making crippled children who are going to grow up to be crippled adults,” said Tolanda McMullen, the mother of a child who was poisoned while living in a home approved by inspectors. “They don’t even have a chance because it was taken from them when they were babies.”

Former Chicago Public Schools CEO Barbara Byrd-Bennett exits federal court Oct. 13, 2015, in Chicago. Bennett pleaded guilty to one fraud count in an alleged scheme to steer $23 million in no-bid contracts to education firms for $2.3 million in bribes and kickbacks.

said. “I had no choice.”

Green died on the way to a hospital. A bullet had struck his back and pierced his heart and lungs. His gun was found in a vacant lot 75 feet from where he fell, according to court records.

Surveillance video from a nearby liquor store played Tuesday showed Green fumble a gun, then double back to pick it up before taking off up the street during the chase.

In her deposition, Whitehead said Green didn’t appear to be carrying a weapon when she saw Gonzalez shoot.

Prosecutors seek 7 years for ex-Chicago schools chief

CHICAGO – Federal prosecutors are recommending a 7½-year prison sentence for a former Chicago Public Schools CEO who pleaded guilty in a

kickback scheme.

In a court filing Friday, prosecutors said Barbara Byrd-Bennett knew that the district financially was troubled when she arrived in 2012 and still worked to “enrich herself and her co-schemers at the expense” of students, teachers and Chicago residents.

Byrd-Bennett pleaded guilty in 2015 to federal wire fraud. She’s accused of helping steer more than $20 million worth of no-bid contracts to education companies in exchange for bribes and kickbacks.

Defense attorneys sought a prison sentence of 3½ years and acknowledged the “extraordinary breach of trust.”

She’s expected to be sentenced later this month.

Two others have pleaded guilty in the scheme.

NEIU to shut down for 3 days amid budget crisis

CHICAGO – Northeastern Illinois University will shut down for three days this month because of a major shortfall stemming from the state’s budget crisis.

The Chicago-based school announced Friday that it’ll close all locations and continue an employee furlough program on April 11, April 12 and May 1 in addition to canceling classes. The move is an attempt to help make up for state support stalled amid Illinois’ two-year budget logjam.

The closure will affect about 10,000 students and 1,100 staff members. Services such as computer labs and child care also will be unavailable.

Interim President Richard Helldobler said he doesn’t know how much longer the university can survive this “financial starvation.”

Lawmakers send nurse protection bill to Rauner

SPRINGFIELD – The Illinois General Assembly has sent legislation to Gov. Bruce Rauner that would prohibit further privatization of health care workers in state prisons. Lawmakers sent the measure to Rauner on Friday. It won House approval a day earlier, 68-42.

Rep. Jerry Costello is the Smithton Democrat who sponsored it. It is in response to the Rauner administration’s announcement that it would lay of 124 state-employed nurses in June.

Rauner would replace them with nurses hired by the private health care contractor.

Critics said there’s a nursing shortage and prison jobs are harder to fill. They said Wexford Health Sources can’t fill the vacant slots it has now.

After strikes, U.S. vows to keep pressure on Syria

By JULIE PACE

The Associated Press PALM BEACH, Fla. – The U.S. is vowing to keep up the pressure on Syria after the intense nighttime wave of missile strikes from U.S. ships, despite the prospect of escalating Russian ill will that could further inflame one of the world’s most vexing conflicts.

Standing firm, the Trump administration on Friday signaled new sanctions would soon follow the missile attack, and the Pentagon was even probing whether Russia itself was involved in the chemical weapons assault that compelled President Donald Trump to action.

The attack against a Syrian air base was the first U.S. assault against the government of President Bashar Assad.

Much of the international community rallied behind Trump’s decision to fire the cruise missiles in reaction to this week’s chemical weapons attack that killed dozens of men, women and children in Syria. But a spokesman for Russian President Vladimir Putin warned that the strikes dealt “a significant blow” to relations between Moscow and Washington.

A key test of whether the relationship can be salvaged comes next week when Secretary of State Rex Tillerson becomes the first Trump Cabinet member to visit Russia.

Tillerson said he sees no reason for retaliation from Russia for the U.S. missile strikes.

Russia maintains a close political and military alliance with the Assad government and has been implicated in many of the attacks against Syrians opposed to Assad’s rule, though Moscow adamantly denies such claims.

In an interview to air Sunday on CBS’ “Face the Nation,” Tillerson said Russians were not targeted by the strikes. He also said the top U.S. priority in the region hasn’t changed and remained the defeat of Islamic State militants.

British Foreign Minister Boris Johnson also had planned to visit Russia this coming week, but decided Saturday to cancel the trip because of the fast-moving events in Syria. Johnson, who condemned Moscow’s continued defense of Assad, said Tillerson will be able to give a “clear and coordinated message to the Russians.”

At the United Nations on Friday, Russia’s deputy ambassador, Vladimir Safronkov, strongly criticized what he called the U.S. “flagrant violation of international law and an act of aggression” whose “consequences for regional and international security could be extremely serious.” He called the Assad government a main force against terrorism and said it deserved the presumption of innocence in the chemical weapons attack.

The U.S. ambassador to the U.N., Nikki Haley, said the world is waiting for the Russian government “to act responsibly in Syria” and “to reconsider its misplaced alliance with Bashar Assad.”

Trump spoke by telephone Friday with Saudi Arabia’s King Salman, who reaffirmed strong support for the military strike and thanked the U.S. president for his “courageous” action, according to statements issued Saturday by the White House and the official Saudi Press Agency.

Saudi Arabia, one of the most vehement opponents of Assad, said the missile barrage was the right response to “the crimes of this regime to its people in light of the failure of the international community to stop it.”

The Turkish foreign minister, whose country is a strong backer of the Syrian opposition, said the U.S. missile strikes were not enough.

Mevlut Cavusoglu said Saturday that the U.S. intervention was only “cosmetic” unless it removes Assad from power. He said the most ideal process would be a political solution that leads to a transitional government.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., talks to reporters before the vote to confirm President Donald Trump’s Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch, on Capitol Hill in Washington, Friday.

Gorsuch’s name was on a list of potential choices Trump produced during the campaign, and was vetted by conservative groups including the Federalist Society and the Heritage Foundation.

That unusual external review omitted consultation with Senate Democrats, contributing to bitter Democrat complaints about the way the whole process was handled.

Gorsuch is expected to join a conservative-leaning voting bloc of justices, making five on the nine-member court.

As soon as April 13, he could take part in his first private conference, where justices decide whether to hear cases – and some of them could involve gun rights, voting rights and a Colorado baker’s refusal to design a cake for a same-sex couple’s wedding.

Friday’s Senate vote was the final act in a corrosive political confrontation that began with Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s decision immediately after Scalia’s death to hold the seat open

ing to a time not long ago when judicial filibusters were rarely practiced and Supreme Court filibusters essentially unheard of.

“The practical result of where we are now is we’re back to where we were as late as 2000,” said McConnell, pointing out that even Clarence Thomas got onto the court without a filibuster, despite highly contentious confirmation hearings regarding sexual harassment claims from Anita Hill.

McConnell’s decision last year to hold the Supreme Court seat open was seen as a gamble, questioned even by some in his party, but it’s now viewed

by Republicans as a political master stroke. McConnell told reporters Friday he viewed it as “the most consequential decision I’ve ever been involved in.”

Some Republicans even credit the Supreme Court vacancy as one reason Trump won the November election. In exit polls, 21 percent of voters called Supreme Court appointments “the most important factor” for their votes, and among those people 56 percent voted for Trump.

Sen. James Inhofe of Oklahoma said of McConnell’s tactic: “No. 1, it’s courageous. No. 2 it’s genius, in that order, because he knew how much criticism he would get.”

WASHINGTON – After weeks of turmoil, the Senate confirmed Trump nominee Neil Gorsuch as the Supreme Court’s youngest justice Friday, filling a 14-month vacancy after the death of Antonin Scalia and restoring a rightward tilt that could last for years.

Gorsuch will be sworn in Monday and will quickly begin confronting cases of consequence, including one involving separation of church and state that the justices will take up in less than two weeks.

At 49, he is decades younger than several of the other justices – two are in their 80s and one is 78 – raising the possibility that President Donald Trump will have a chance to appoint more conservatives to a court that has been somewhat balanced in recent years.

Vice President Mike Pence was presiding as the Senate voted 54-45 in favor of Gorsuch, a veteran of Denver’s 10th U.S. Circuit of Appeals whose conservative rulings make him an intellectual heir to Scalia, who died in February 2016. Republicans blocked Barack Obama from filling the seat all last year.

The outcome was a major victory for Trump, his first big congressional win. And it was cause for celebration for conservatives, who have often seemed willing to forgive various Trump failings next to the chance to win this lifetime appointment to the most important court on the land.

“As a deep believer in the rule of law, Judge Gorsuch will serve the American people with distinction,” Trump said in a statement.

The judge won support from 51 of the chamber’s Republicans as well as three moderate Democrats up for re-election in states Trump won last fall: Joe Manchin of West Virginia, Heidi Heitkamp of North Dakota and Joe Donnelly of Indiana. GOP Sen. Johnny Isakson of Georgia, who has been recovering from back surgery, did not vote.

for the next president to fill, rather than convene hearings for Obama’s nominee, Judge Merrick Garland.

Democrats seethed for months over Garland’s treatment, and under pressure from liberal activists fuming over the Trump presidency they mounted a filibuster Thursday to block Gorsuch. McConnell, R-Ky., immediately responded, as expected, by leading his Republicans in a unilateral rules change to lower the vote threshold for Supreme Court nominees from 60 to a simple majority in the 100-member Senate.

That paved the way for Gorsuch’s confirmation vote Friday, but left lawmakers of both parties bemoaning the undoing of comity in the Senate and warning that the 60-vote filibuster barrier on regular legislation, a key tool to force bipartisan cooperation, could be next to go. McConnell vowed that would not happen on his watch.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said of the rules change that won approval: “It will make the cooling saucer of the Senate considerably hotter, and I believe it will make the Supreme Court a more partisan place.”

But McConnell and some of his allies argued that they were simply return-

Thoughts on five high-income stocks

Dear Mr. Berko: I’m looking to invest $50,000 in four high-income stocks, and I’m willing to speculate to get 10 percent annually. My stockbroker recommends AllianceBernstein, Waddell & Reed, Duff & Phelps Select Energy, Apollo Investment and BlackRock Capital Investment. We’d appreciate your thoughts on these five stocks.

We figure that your recommendations might limit any potential loss. – KL,

credit, though I’m mindful that losing money is like stepping on a snake. You must be careful out there. Too many investors are seeking high yields, and too many brokers are taking too many chances betting on borderline stocks.

AllianceBernstein’s (AB-$22) $2.68 dividend yields 11.7 percent. AB, a global investment management firm, provides research, investment management and related services to institutions, trust departments, private wealth accounts and brokerages.

AB’s services span numerous investment disciplines, including customized target date funds, hedge funds, taxable and tax-exempt strategies, global and regional portfolio strategies, dynamic asset allocation, private equity multi-asset allocation, enhanced index solutions and more.

Opinions on Wall Street vary widely, from “avoid” by Market Edge to “hold” by Thomson Reuters to “outperform” by S&P Capital IQ. I agree with S&P. Waddell & Reed Financial’s (WDR$16.76) $1.84 dividend yields 10.9 percent. WDR is a brokerage firm that provides investment management services to the public, product underwriting, mutual fund administration, open-end and closed-end fund distribution, life insurance and annuity products. Revenues for 2017 are expected to come in at $1.02 billion, lower than 2016’s revenues of $1.3 billion, which were lower than 2015’s revenues of $1.5 billion and lower than 2014’s revenues of $1.6 billion. But WDR has an impressive balance sheet, with $900 million in cash, $10.79 in cash per share and a book value of $10.35.

WDR expects to earn $1.53 a share this year, and the Street believes that its substantial cash position will enable it to maintain the dividend.

Research rate WDR “neutral” and suggest the dividend will be maintained from cash flow. But I say forget about it. Meanwhile, the performance of WDR’s flagship mutual fund (Ivy Funds) stinks.

Duff & Phelps Select Energy MLP Fund (DSE-$7.80) pays an 88-cent dividend yielding 11.2 percent. DSE invests at least 80 percent of its assets in energy master limited partnerships.

Energy Transfer Partners, Enbridge Energy Partners, Sunoco, Targa Resources, AmeriGas, Genesis Energy and Williams Partners are some of the top MLPs in DSE’S $280 million portfolio, which trades at a 3.1 percent discount to net asset value.

About 30 percent of this portfolio is leveraged. The dividend was reduced from 32 cents a quarter in 2014 to today’s 22 cents a quarter, and the share price has ranged between $4.95 and $8.53 in the past 52 weeks. Some suggest the dividend is secure, though I think it could drop to 18 cents a quarter. That would be a 9.2 percent yield.

DSE is a definite “maybe.”

Apollo Investment Corp.’s (AINV$6.42) 70-cent dividend provides a 9 percent yield. AINV, with $3 billion in assets, is a business development company specializing in middle-market companies providing equity capital, mezzanine and senior secured loans,

and subordinated and unsecured debt.

AINV also invests in public companies that are thinly traded and acquires investments in the secondary market.

AINV primarily invests between $20 million and $250 million in its portfolio companies. Market Edge has a “buy” recommendation, and so do Value Line and S&P Capital IQ. The shares trade below their $7.10 book value, and the Street expects the dividend to be raised this year. I agree!

BlackRock Capital Investment Corp.’s (BKCC-$7.20) 72-cent dividend yields 10 percent. This business development company’s prime directive is to produce high current income and capital gains through its debt and equity investments.

BKCC provides middle-market companies with financing solutions and generally invests between $10 million and $50 million in targeted companies. The dividend was reduced this year, and the consensus for 2017 is that revenues probably will decline as they did in 2016, 2015 and 2014. Some on the Street think BKCC will report a loss in 2017. BKCC doesn’t uncork my wine bottle.

OUR VIEW

Just having anti-bully protocol is not enough Thumbs down: To the bullying situation at Joliet Public Schools District 86. About 10 parents attended Wednesday night’s school board meeting to support Brenda Garcia, who pulled her children out of Gompers Junior High School last month after they experienced bullying.

Superintendent Theresa Rouse has said the district has a protocol in place to prevent bullying – including a report form and anonymous hotline, which Garcia said her children were never told about – but the protocol isn’t consistently implemented. Regardless of how children behave at school, the onus is on educators to make sure district procedure is enforced.

Thumbs up: To the more than 75,000 voters who came out to do their democratic duty Tuesday. Local elections usually don’t make national headlines and, with a wide range of sometimes obscure offices on the ballot, they can also be confusing for voters.

Nevertheless, it’s a privilege to have a say in who serves on the government bodies that in some ways have the most direct impact on our lives, and we commend the 17.87 percent of registered voters who exercised that privilege on Election Day. Thumbs up: To the late Susan Klen, who, in an unusual turn, won a two-year term on the Joliet Junior College Board of Trustees in Tuesday’s election. While Klen obviously won’t be able to serve her term – that job will go to candidate Mike O’Connell, who followed Klen in vote totals – it’s a testament to her memory and her legacy that she won on election night.

Thumbs up: To the Joliet City Council, which tabled a vote on a rezoning necessary for a house to be torn down and the property it sits on to be redeveloped as a strip mall, after neighbors who attended a council meeting raised concerns about the project and having not been informed of the plans.

It’s reassuring to see the council, which will revisit the topic next month, respond to residents when they make their voices heard.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Violent verses, Bible vs. Koran

To the Editor: A GOPUSA Feb. 10, 2017, article said: A new nationwide poll reveals that two-thirds of Democrats believe that Islam “encourages violence the same as other religions” – including Christianity. Despite numerous jihadist terrorist attacks in America, Democrats maintain the politically correct mindset that the Koran is relatively peaceful – similar to the Bible.

However, 63 percent of Republicans view Islam as aggressive compared to other religions. Different opinions lead to different policies. Much of the difference in opinions could be eliminated if everyone read the Bible and Koran.

The Old Testament part of the Bible has three types of laws; moral, ceremonial and civil. The moral law, like the Ten Commandments, still applies.

The ceremonial law ended with Christ’s sacrifice. The civil law was the legal code followed only during a theocracy in Israel. It included punishments for crimes, instructions for dealing with enemy nations, and contained some violent verses.

In the New Testament part of the Bible, Christ teaches God is love. In Matthew 22:37-39 Jesus summarized the Ten Commandments saying “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind… Love your neighbor as yourself.”

The Bible says love your enemies, pray for those who persecute you, turn the other cheek and forgive one another.

The first part of the Koran was written when Mohammad was in Mecca and Muslims were a minority.

It contains a mixture and is somewhat peaceful. The rest of the Koran was written later after they moved to Medina and were a majority. It contains many violent verses for dealing with nonbelievers. The Islamic principle of interpretation called abrogation means the newer verses supersede the older ones.

I am persuaded the Bible encourages love while the Koran encourages violence.

Lots of things to love about Joliet living I’ve come to believe that Joliet is the Rodney Dangerfield of Illinois cities.

On television, we only get airplay when there’s a multiple murder. Or a really bad accident. Or a really good indictment.

On talk radio – at least on Chicago talk radio – the mere mention of Joliet usually elicits a smirk. Or an aside. Or an insult.

Those who don’t live here have little good to say about us. And those who do live here often have even less to say.

Any way you cut it, Joliet don’t get no respect.

That said, I thought it was high time someone came up with a list of the positive things about living in Joliet. And not one of those Chamber of Commercey kind of lists. You know, the ones that focus only on warehousing, logistics and tourist amenities like casinos and racetracks. While those are great for the entrepreneurs and the tourists, they’re a bit immaterial if you’re a resident.

So here’s five things that hit a little closer to home: Stable school districts: I live in Joliet proper. My taxes haven’t changed

And while we don’t have a gourmet supermarket like Trader Joe’s, we do have Mitchell’s Food Mart, which Bill Wimbiscus features an old-fashioned butcher shop where five guys in white aprons carve up the best meat in the county. appreciably in years.

Plus the new Joliet Junior College Center, which looks like a blueand-white glass-enclosed cube. And the old J.C. Penney building, which looks like a concrete pizza box.

Oh, and then there’s the bridges. I once read that Joliet has more kinds of draw bridges across a shorter length of river than any place else in the country. And anytime you need to cross one, it always seems to be raised.

Location: One last great thing about Joliet is its location. Close to Chicago, but not too close, with easy access to three interstates, three U.S. highways, two state highways, two major airports, two passenger rail lines, two rivers and one canal.

So even if you’re still not crazy about living here, at least it’s easy to leave.

COLLEGE SOFTBALL: ST. FRANCIS 2-8, CALUMET 1-0

HOW SWEEP IT IS

No. 15 St. Francis beats Calumet, has won 18 of past 19

By CURT HERRON

cherron@shawmedia.com JOLIET – When a college softball team has lost only one game in the past month, obviously something special is going on.

That’s just what this year’s University of St. Francis squad has recently accomplished. And the good news for Saints fans is that there’s only one senior on the 16-player roster.

USF, which is ranked 15th in the NAIA, won for the 18th time in its last 19 games to improve to 25-3 overall and move to 9-1 in the Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference after winning Saturday’s home doubleheader 2-1 and 8-0 over Calumet College of St. Joseph.

“The team has been playing exceptionally well together, which is an important aspect,” USF coach Amanda Jensen said. “The chemistry is great and everyone gets along good. What’s really special about this team is their ability to focus, their game awareness and ability to read situations and make adjustments. They do a nice job of challenging each other, and as a result, everybody is on the same page in what we’re trying to accomplish.

“The kids are competing really hard, which is special to watch.

They’re just doing a really nice job of working with each other and looking for opportunities to serve each other, which has played a huge part in the success on the field. The returning players did a nice job of welcoming in the new people and making them feel special and formulating that culture that’s important for team success.

44 PREP SOFTBALL: JOLIET WEST 11, COAL CITY 1

Coalers still winless after loss to Tigers

By DICK GOSS

dgoss@shamwedia.com JOLIET – The Coal City softball team finished 25-10 last season and has several regulars back in 2017.

However, the success of 2016 has not carried over – at least not yet.

“We graduated only our first baseman, shortstop and center fielder, and we have our pitchers back,” Coalers coach Stephanie Harmon said after Saturday’s five-inning, 11-1 nonconference loss at Joliet West. “We’re young with two freshmen [Abbie Cullick and Madison Emerson] starting. But we didn’t lose many.

“What’s happened this year is we are playing good teams right off the bat.

We know now that we will be staying in [Class] 3A, and playing teams of this caliber should help us in the long run. We had a good game against Herscher last night. We lost, 4-2. They’re a top team in our conference.”

Coal City (0-5) is getting into the meat

of the Interstate Eight schedule, and Harmon said, “We should win our side of the conference. We need to get a couple of wins to get our confidence up. The desire to win is there, we have to figure out how to do it.”

It was not going to happen Saturday as West (7-1) scored in every inning but the fourth and coasted behind the no-hit pitching of Sidney Budzinski and Natalie Edwards.

Budzinski got things rolling offensively when she rifled a two-run double into the left-field corner with two outs in the bottom of the first inning to erase the Coalers’ 1-0 lead.

Kiley Robb finished with two hits and four RBIs, Kristen Ames with two hits and two RBIs and Sarah Gersch with a hit and two RBIs. Jeliza Pacheco added two hits, a walk and scored twice.

But as many productive hits as there were, Tigers coach Heather Suca cited Robb’s bases-loaded walkoff walk in the fifth as a prime example of why West has been prospering offensively. Robb fouled

off a couple of pitches and worked the count to 3-2 before taking a pitch that did not miss by much to end it.

“Kiley’s walk is an example,” Suca said. “Our offense has been doing great, and a lot of it is that we have been patient. We are laying off bad pitches and making pitchers work. We have drawn a decent amount of walks. It’s a big difference from last year.”

Suca noted the Tigers were knocking the ball out of the park in an 8-7 victory Friday over Oswego. That’s something they have done with some regularity in the early going.

“Even when something like that happens, though, we have adjusted back quickly and continued to have the type of at-bats that we should have,” Suca said.

“We hit three home runs the same inning [against Oswego],” Gersch said.

“I got one, and [Savanah] Delrose and [Sidney] Budzinski joined in. But when someone hits a homer, the next batter is not going up there trying to hit one, too.”

Budzinski and Edwards, meanwhile, were in conrol Saturday. The Coalers scored in the top of the first when Sydney Miller was hit by a pitch, Cullick sacrificed and reached on an error, and Miller slid home safely on a wild pitch.

Emerson nearly hit the ball out of the park to inflict further damage and keep the inning alive, but center fielder Ames made an outstanding catch against the fence in left-center field for the third out.

Alivia Phelps, who took the loss, walked to start the second inning, but West catcher DeShonte Smith picked off the courtesy runner. After that, Budzinski and Edwards mowed down the final 11 Coal City batters.

“After the pickoff, the momentum shifted,” Harmon said.

“Our pitching has been pretty good,” Suca said. “We’re allowing only about five hits a game. And, we are playing with such a high level of confidence offensively. Now we just need to take some of that to the defensive side of the game.”

Continued from page 43 the hard-luck loser after allowing just five hits.

“It’s really fun to see that everyone has the same goal in mind and we’re focusing on that,” Dieringer said. “We want to go to nationals and do well so the focus that everyone has on the team is great. We’re excited because we have a great team this year and I hope that we do a lot, but we’ll have the same team next year so we can become even more comfortable with each other. We have really good team chemistry and we’re all friends on and off the field.”

There was much less drama in the finale as USF scored twice in both the first and second innings and then added three more runs in the fourth to help it end things an inning later.

Kayla Garcia smacked a two-run home run in the first and belted a solo shot in the fourth to give her team highs in both homers (nine) and RBIs (33) after she went 2 for 3 with three RBIs. Balandis hit a two-run homer in the fourth, her second long ball of the season.

“The thing that we have over our opponents is our chemistry,” Balandis said. “One through nine, we’re best friends, both on and off the field and it doesn’t get any better than that. We all hate losing and losing isn’t part of our vocabulary. With our offense, I’m just as confident whether our four hitter

We’re making adjustments a lot better this year.”

Hailey Lenth went 3 for 3 while Anna Wetherell had two hits and and RBI and Brooke Karraker also drove in a run for the Saints, who have won

five in a row. Taylor Barsz, a Lockport graduate, moved to 8-0 on the year after allowing only two hits in five innings.

As a result of its sweep of CCSJ (721, 2-5), USF has claimed the top spot in the CCAC standings, moving ahead of Judson (6-2), St. Ambrose (3-1) and Olivet Nazarene (7-3).

COLLEGE BASEBALL: MADISON 6-5, JJC 0-7

By DICK GOSS

JOLIET – Everything looked all too familiar.

The North Central Community College Conference baseball doubleheader Friday at Wayne L. King Jr. Field was a microcosm of what has been going on with Joliet Junior College this season.

At least the bats awoke from their slumber in Game 2 as the Wolves scored four times in the bottom of the sixth inning to escape a 3-all tie, then survived a scare to beat Madison, 7-5.

That was after JJC managed one hit in dropping the opener to the Wolfpack, 6-0.

“That was a decent pitcher [Madison left-hander Jack Eagan],” Wolves coach Wayne King said after the opener. “But we just have not been hitting.”

That might have begun to change in the nightcap.

Freshman Joe McGuire (Lockport), a catcher by trade who has been playing left field because of two outfield injuries, roped doubles in his first two at-bats and scored each time – on Andrew Rodriguez’s double to deep center field and on a single by Marcus Stewart (Plainfield South).

The Wolves (13-15, 4-2 entering Saturday’s doubleheader at Triton) were up 3-0 in the fifth inning behind freshman right-hander Dan Terrazas (Minooka), whose previous nine appearances were in relief.

But the WolfPack (15-9, 1-3) used two-out hits in the fifth and sixth innings to tie it at 3.

“I was very pleased with Danny [Terrazas],” King said. “We may have to use him again in a starting role.”

JJC went ahead, 7-3, in a four-run sixth that featured a leadoff single

by Adam Knerr (Lincoln-Way West), Davis Purviance’s tie-breaking RBI single and RBI singles by Rob Blissitt and McGuire. That gave McGuire four of the Wolves’ nine hits in the doubleheader.

“I was seeing the ball real well today,” McGuire said. “It looked like a beach ball. It was good to see the team step up. The bats came alive in the second game.”

Purviance (Lockport) has been out about three weeks with an ankle sprain that happened as he stepped on home plate scoring a run. His pinch-hit appearance in Game 1 was his first action since the injury.

“The past week I’ve been able to put weight on it,” Purviance said.

“I’m happy to be back. I just have to

JJC’s Anthony Agne hits a grounder to right field Friday against Madison at Joliet Junior College.

“I told the guys in the first game that I can’t fix what is going on.

You have to be the aggressor at the plate. They are so young, we are playing so many freshmen, and we aren’t handling bad things that well right now. But they are a good group of kids.”

Wayne King JJC coach

keep seeing the ball and hitting it hard.”

King said Purviance may not yet be ready to return to his outfield position, but he is a sophomore leader on a young team, and he is glad to have him back.

“Matt Welch [Plainfield North] took Davis’ spot in the outfield, and he broke his wrist colliding with the first baseman chasing a foul ball,” King noted. “So we are down two outfielders.”

The Wolves also will be without designated hitter Tyler DesMarais (Minooka) for a while. He sprained an ankle scrambling back to first base

late in the first game Friday.

“When things aren’t going well, those things happen,” King said.

“We’re a young team and feeling sorry for ourselves now.

“But we’re not as bad as we are showing. That’s what my 31 years of experience says. Or maybe I’ll be wrong about that.”

In the seventh inning of Game 2, Madison’s Tyler Strzelczyk (Lincoln-Way North) blasted a long tworun homer with nobody out off JJC reliever Nick Followell to make it 7-5. A single followed, and Nick Clemmons (Minooka) relieved. Madison loaded the bases before Clemmons

struck out the final batter for his second save.

“Here we go again, we can’t seem to close teams out,” King said. “We’re still searching for that closer.”

Something King did like, though, was the offense in Game 2.

“We had some hard hits and some hard outs,” he said. “It was a tad better with the bats this game.

“I told the guys in the first game that I can’t fix what is going on. You have to be the aggressor at the plate.

They are so young, we are playing so many freshmen, and we aren’t handling bad things that well right now.

But they are a good group of kids.”

Freshman Connor Creed (Providence Catholic) started Game 1. He entered 1-0 with a 2.31 ERA in 271/3 innings and had allowed only 18 hits.

But Madison scored three times on five hits – none of which was hit particularly hard – in the second inning and never looked back.

“They didn’t hit the ball that hard that inning off Connor, but right now they [WolfPack] have a better approach at the plate than we do,” King said.

46 PREP SOFTBALL: MORRIS 2, OTTAWA 0

Redskins bounce back with shutout win

By ROB OESTERLE

roesterle@shawmedia.com MORRIS – What a difference a day makes.

A day after seeing its record tarnished for the first time this season, the Morris softball team bounced back with a 2-0 win over Ottawa in Northern Illinois Big 12 crossover action.

And it wasn’t an easy task, not with Ottawa trotting out University of Kentucky recruit Sloan Gayan to the mound.

But Morris pitcher Abby Burns matched Gayan pitch for pitch and the Redskins (12-1, 1-1) took advantage of a couple of Ottawa miscues in the field to come away with the win.

“It was good for us to come out here and bounce back [from an 8-4 loss to Kaneland on Thursday],” Burns said.

“It showed who has heart. Ottawa is a good, strong team, so for us to come out here and beat them after a tough

loss yesterday says a lot. We just wanted to put that last game behind us and move forward, and that’s what we did.”

Burns was masterful in doing her part in the victory. She did not walk a batter in tossing a complete-game five-hitter and striking out four.

“I was hitting my spots well,” she said. “Coach [Jen Lowery] called a good game and our defense was just a wall behind me. We made all the plays in the field we had to make.”

The two teams were locked in a scoreless battle heading into the bottom of the fourth when Burns led off by getting hit by a pitch. Janelle Brehm then laid down a sacrifice bunt, and, when the throw got past the Ottawa first baseman, courtesy runner Megan Gerischer went to third and Brehm reached second.

That brought up the Morris cleanup hitter, junior Rachel Trader. On the first pitch, the squeeze bunt sign

was on, but Trader bunted foul. After taking another strike, Trader got a pitch she could handle and hit a fly to left. Gerischer tagged and scored, giving Morris a 1-0 lead.

“We knew their pitcher was good and we had to be patient,” Trader said.

“I didn’t get the squeeze down and fell behind 0-2, so I was just looking to put the ball in play somewhere and give the runners a chance to move up.

“This is my first year up with the varsity, and it’s been so much fun. It’s amazing.”

Morris tacked on an insurance run in the bottom of the sixth. Jasmine Cook led off with a walk and Burns followed with a grounder back to Gayan on the mound. Gayan turned and threw to second, but the ball went over the shortstop’s head and into center field. When it got past the center fielder, Cook motored all the way in from second to score the second Morris run.

“That extra run in the bottom of the

sixth made pitching in the seventh a lot easier,” Burns said. “It was nice that we got that run.”

Lowery was pleased to see her club shake off Thursday’s loss.

“We had a good talk before the game about having heart and what that means,” she said. “Our girls came out today and showed that they have it. Ottawa is a good program. We both had rough days yesterday [Ottawa lost by the 10-run rule to Sterling on Thursday], so we both wanted to have a good game today. This was a good high school softball game between two good teams.

“Abby threw a great game. She was hitting her spots well and she was really fired up for today. Offensively, we did a good job of being patient and waiting for a mistake. A pitcher like her [Gayan] isn’t going to make many, but we were ready when she did. I thought we showed a lot maturity today.”

PREP BASEBALL: PLAINFIELD EAST 6, LINCOLN-WAY WEST 0

Bengals improve to 8-2 after shutting out Warriors

By CURT HERRON

cherron@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – A couple of aspects of baseball that often take awhile to develop are pitching and defense, especially during a wet and cold spring such as this one.

But Plainfield East coach Adam O’Reel credits strong showings in those areas during his squad’s initial 10 games as being a big key to why his team is off to a good start.

Those qualities were on display in Friday’s nonconference game against visiting Lincoln-Way West. Luke Lamm and Danny Balzhiser combined for a one-hitter while striking out eight and the defense only made one error as the Bengals captured a 6-0 win.

In each of the team’s victories, they’ve allowed three runs or fewer and in half of their games, they’ve only yielded one run or fewer. As a bonus, East’s offense is averaging 6.5 runs a contest. Had it not been for a couple of bad innings defensively, O’Reel believes that it could have already been halfway toward claiming a thirdstraight 20-win season.

“We’ve played exceptional defense for most of the season,” O’Reel said.

“And our two losses are because of defensive meltdowns late in games, so we’re two innings away from being

“As a coach, you’re going to find some things that we can improve on. But 8-2 is a great start and conference begins on Monday.”

undefeated. We haven’t swung the bats great and weren’t that great situationally today. We made this closer than it could have been since we couldn’t move runners over. But our pitchers attacked. Luke gave us a good start and Danny did a really nice job out of the pen.

“As a coach, you’re going to find some things that we can improve on.

But 8-2 is a great start and conference begins on Monday. It’s going to be an interesting run in the conference.

We’ve got seven seniors and 21 juniors, so it’s a different mix than I’ve ever had before. We’ve been doing a lot of rotation with our lineup since we’re very deep, and that’s one of our strengths.

We’re giving guys opportunities and some of them are stepping up.”

The Bengals scored single runs in each of the first three innings and then got three more runs in the fourth.

Lamm went the first four innings, allowing one hit and striking out four while Balzhiser didn’t allow any

hits and fanned four in the last three frames.

West (5-5-1) only managed a second-inning single from Kevin Davis.

One positive was that the last two of its four pitchers, James Hatfield and Tyler Franc, combined to allow two hits while fanning five in three innings.

“They outworked us, were more focused and they definitely earned that victory,” West coach Jake Zajc said.

“They did a good job battling at the plate, putting the ball in play and making all of the plays defensively while, on the other hand, we didn’t. We’ve discussed our approach to the game a lot and it’s not there. We have to have some energy and life in the game and back each other up. We did some good things and we just need to keep building on that.”

Dalton Crowder (two runs) scored on an error in the first, Josh Schuetz came home on a double by David Salazar in the second and Jacob Havis (two hits) doubled home Frank Bryan (two

runs) in the third. An inning later, Crowder scored on a double by Jake Knoebel, who tallied on an error and Sean Hebreard singled in Bryan for the final run.

“Our defense has been pretty good overall and we very easily could be 10-0,” Schuetz said. “We’ve got a lot of guys who can do big things so if we get the group together, we can get a lot of wins. We have a lot of depth at every position, so you can’t go wrong with anyone on this team. A lot of us are close in and outside of school and we’re the same on the field.”

With senior returners Schuetz (first base), Knoebel (third base) and Salazar (shortstop) being the foundation of a strong defensive infield and the Bengals receiving good pitching and also producing some runs, hopes are high that the squad might be able to follow up on last year’s regional championship, which was the first in the program’s history.

“We’ve jelled really good as a unit,” Knoebel said. “Getting our first regional win last year was big and starting off 8-2 is a good record. Our pitching and defense has really been carrying us and I’m sure that the bats will wake up. I like how everyone is close. Everyone has their specific role and they all know what they’re supposed to do and they go out there and do it.”

48 CUBS 11, BREWERS 6

Recent top draft picks key in victory

By BRUCE MILES

bmiles@dailyherald.com MILWAUKEE – The first-round merry-go-round is off and spinning for the Cubs.

Opposing teams are warned to hang on tight, because it may be a dizzying ride.

For the second time in the new season, the Cubs started their first-round draft picks from the years 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014.

Javy Baez, Albert Almora Jr., Kris Bryant and Kyle Schwarber were all over the place in an 11-6 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers at Miller Park.

The game was played in front of a sellout crowd of 43,080 fans, most of whom were loudly cheering for the Cubs, who improved to 3-2.

And if you’re wondering where the Cubs’ top pick from 2015 is, Ian Happ is not far away. After a strong spring training with the big club, he’s off to a good start at Triple-A Iowa, and truth be told, he could start for a lot of major-league clubs right now.

Here is how it went for the cream of

the Cubs’ recent draft classes Saturday: • Baez scored a pair of runs and went 2 for 4 with two RBIs. • Almora had himself quite a night.

He was 3 for 4 with a walk and two RBIs. He also made a diving backhand snag of Travis Shaw’s fly ball to end the fifth inning.

• Bryant picked up his first three RBIs of the season. He had a two-run double in the third, a run-scoring single in the fourth and a double leading off the eighth.

• Schwarber doubled and scored a run in the third.

This is how the Cubs envisioned things playing out when they embarked on their rebuilding project in the fall of 2011. Things began coming together in 2015 with a trip to the National League Championship Series, and the first big prize came last year with the World Series championship, with the youngsters stepping up.

In Saturday’s game, the Cubs also featured young players such as homegrown catcher Willson Contreras and young or relatively young standouts acquired from other organizations: An-

It was the first start of the season for Hendricks, the ERA champion in Major League Baseball last year. He righted himself after a leadoff homer to Jonathan Villar in the first inning followed by a single to Eric Thames and a run-scoring double to Shaw.

The Cubs wiped out that 2-0 deficit in the third on Bryant’s double and an RBI forceout by Ben Zobrist. Bryant’s single brought another Cubs run home in

the fourth before the Brewers tied it at 4 in the bottom of the inning on a two-run homer

by Nick Franklin.

Hendricks gutted out six innings, giving up five hits and four runs while throwing 93 pitches.

The Cubs broke the game open for good with another run in the seventh and four more in the eighth.

WHITE SOX 6, TWINS 2

Garcia’s homer, 3 RBIs latest chapter in hot 2017 start

By DAVID JUST

For the Sun-Times CHICAGO – Questions reverberated on the South Side this offseason about whether Avisail Garcia could live up to the potential he brought with him in 2013.

Back then he was the prize return to the White Sox in a three-team trade with Detroit and Boston that sent Jake Peavy to the Red Sox. Three lackluster MLB seasons later, the Sox are still waiting for Garcia to deliver the middle-of-the-order, power-hitting bat they anticipated.

It’s early in the 2017 season yet, but Garcia is showing signs that he may have turned a corner.

Garcia has eight hits in four games, including a triple and a home run during Saturday’s 6-2 win over the Twins at Guaranteed Rate Field. His three-hit effort fell a double short of a cycle, and he added two runs and three RBI. “I’m just trying to put my hands more inside and not try to do too much,” said Garcia, who noted his focus has also been to keep his head down as he

White Sox notebook Starting pitcher Miguel Gonzalez picked up his first win of the season against the Twins on Saturday by scattering seven hits and two runs over six innings. He struck out six and walked two.

He pitched his way in and out of trouble, putting runners in scoring position in the first, second, fourth and fifth innings but denying the Twins a run. Gonzalez gave up a two-run home run to Jason Castro in the sixth.

The Sox bullpen added three innings of scoreless relief between Zach Putnam and Dan Jennings.

swings through the ball. “I’ve been missing fastballs because, you know, my head was a little bit off.”

Garcia’s time with the Sox got off to a rocky start after he missed most of his first full season with a shoulder injury following a diving catch attempt.

His batting average the next two seasons hovered around .250 with an on-base percentage idling at just above

.300. He entered this season with 39 career home runs.

He drew comparisons to Dayan Viciedo – a former Sox prospect with tremendous potential and hype who fizzled out of baseball after a few too many lackluster seasons of his own.

It’s easy to forget, though, now in his sixth season in the majors, that Garcia is only 25 and could still have All-Star seasons ahead of him.

“He’s more relaxed at the plate,” Sox pitcher Miguel Gonzalez said of Garcia.

“He’s not trying to do too much. He has power no matter what, so he’s just staying through it and making good contact.

You can tell by the way things are going for him right now.”

Garcia put in extra work this offseason. He improved his fitness routine, lost nearly 20 pounds and adjusted his diet to cut back on red meat.

“Last year I was eating steak today, and the next day steak, and then chicken, and then steak,” he said with a laugh. “Right now, I’m eating a steak, then fish, chicken, fish. … I don’t want to get fat.”

Garcia lined a triple to right-center

field in his first at-bat Saturday. His two-run homer in the sixth went to the same part of the field and, for the second time in the game, scored Todd Frazier.

His triple in the second inning came with two strikes, a situation in which he’s made extra effort to improve.

“He’s finding when he chokes up a little bit with two strikes it allows the ball to travel a little bit deeper,” manager Rick Renteria said. “He’s a strong man. If he puts the barrel on the baseball, it has a chance to travel, and it happened today.”

Garcia agreed, adding he’s more in control of his at-bats now with two strikes.

“You know you don’t have to do too much,” he said. “You just got to see the ball and hit it. The homers are gonna come. I know I have power.”

Garcia signed a one-year, $3 million contract in the offseason, so it’s safe to say this could be his last chance to make an impression with the White Sox. Asked whether Garcia has something to prove this year, Renteria said: “Every player is trying to prove themselves every single day.”

AUGUSTA, Ga. – Justin Rose charged from behind on the back nine at Augusta National. Sergio Garcia received the kind of break that allowed him to wonder whether maybe the golfing gods are finally on his side after all these years.

They wound up tied for the lead Saturday on a tense afternoon that set the stage for a Masters finale still up for Leaderboard grabs.

As usual, that Third-round leaders: includes Jordan Justin Rose -6 Spieth, two shots Sergio Garcia -6 behind and in Rickie Fowler -5 contention for the Jordan Spieth -4 fourth straight Ryan Moore -4 year.

Charley Hoffman -4 “Tomorrow Adam Scott -3 is a huge day,” Charl Schwartzel -2 Rose said. “I have Lee Westwood -1 an opportunity.

Thomas Pieters -1 That’s all you want. But really, it starts on the back nine on Sunday. ...

You’re going to have to go out and play a good round of golf, and I think there’s going to be four or five guys pretty much with the same mindset.”

Rose could use another back nine like he had on Saturday.

He was five shots behind until a tee shot to the left pin on No. 12 landed 5 feet from the cup, starting his run of birdies.

He picked up two more on the par 5s and finished with birdie putts of 20 feet and 12 feet on the last two holes for a 5-under 67.

Garcia hung his head in the 13th fairway when his 4-iron shot disappeared off a bank toward the tributary of Rae’s Creek. Moments later, he realized the ball bounced softly enough off the side of the bank to stop halfway down. He chipped up to tap-in range, turning a potential bogey into a birdie.

“Fortunately for me, that bank seems to be a tiny bit longer this year, which is nice,” Garcia said. “Because it gives you the possibility of getting a break like that.”

The 37-year-old Spaniard finished off his round by clenching his fist when a 7-foot par putt dropped into the cup for a 70.

Garcia and Rose were at 6-under 210.

They had a one-shot lead over Rickie

Sergio Garcia reacts after making a putt on the sixth hole during the third round of the Masters on Saturday in Augusta, Ga. Fowler, who made birdies on all four of the par 5s to offset a few mistakes in a round of 71.

Fowler, a social media star who said earlier this week he probably hasn’t achieved as much as he would have liked, never felt better going into the final round of a major, nor has he ever been so close to the lead with 18 holes to play.

He will be paired with Spieth in the penultimate group.

“I think it’s going to be a long, hardfought day,” Fowler said. “I don’t think anyone is going to put themselves far enough out front where they can cruise in.”

Perhaps the most daunting name at Augusta National was Spieth, who began this Masters with a quadruple-bogey 9 on the 15th hole of the opening round and was 10 shots out of the lead when he trudged off the course on Thursday.

He pulled off a shot Saturday that would have made Arnold Palmer proud,

a 4-iron off the pine straw and over the water on the 13th to 30 feet for a two-putt birdie. He nearly holed a wedge from the fairway on the 15th for another birdie and wound up with a 68.

Spieth won the Masters two years ago and was runner-up last year after losing a five-shot lead on the back nine.

The 23-year-old Texan had a two-shot lead with 11 holes to play in his debut in 2014 before Bubba Watson overtook him.

Here he is again.

“Waking up and you have a chance to win your favorite tournament that you’ve dreamt of winning and competing in since you were a kid, and to be able to have your fourth opportunity now ... I didn’t know going into my first one if I would have five chances in my life,” Spieth said. “So it’s awesome.”

Spieth was tied with Ryan Moore (69) and Charley Hoffman, who led for much of the day until he put his tee shot into the water on the par-3 16th and made

double bogey. Hoffman battled for par on the last hole to stay just two shots behind.

Only 10 players remained under par, all of them separated by five shots. That group included former Masters champions Adam Scott (69) and Charl Schwartzel (68). Lee Westwood, a runner-up last year, also had a 68 and was five shots back.

Rory McIlroy has more work to do if he wants that green jacket to complete a career Grand Slam. McIlroy twice had to settle for pars despite being in ideal position on the par 5s on the back nine, and his 71 kept him from making up any ground. He was six shots behind.

Phil Mickelson started out birdie-birdie before his round fell apart with a chunked wedge on No. 3 that led to double bogey. Mickelson shot 39 on the front and 74 for the round, leaving him in a tie for 21st and eight shots behind in his bid to become at age 46 the oldest Masters champion.

50 NETS 107, BULLS 106

Bulls blow lead in 4th, still on playoff brink

By JOE COWLEY

jcowley@suntimes.com NEW YORK – The Jimmy Butler playoffs-or-bust tour hit another speedbump on Saturday, and now things just got very interesting for the Bulls with two regular-season games left.

Thanks to the defense letting go of a nine-point lead with just 4:24 left, the Bulls lost to Brooklyn, 107-106, slipping from the No. 7 spot down to the No. 8 spot, as Indiana beat Orlando. The bad news didn’t stop there. Miami held off Washington, moving into a tie with the 39-41 Bulls.

Ah, life in the Eastern Conference.

So what does it all mean?

Collars are going to start getting tight, with the Bulls hosting Orlando on Monday and Brooklyn on Wednesday. They do own the tie-breaker over Miami, so win out and Butler’s team is in.

It’s that simple.

“We’re still in this thing,” Butler said. “So whether or not it’s teams we should have beat … [Brooklyn’s] a good team. They’ve been playing as well as anybody to tell you the truth. They’ve got guys that play incredibly hard. We lost, nothing you can really do about it right now. Go get better, man.

“You know we’ve been saying how

we needed this one today, yesterday, and we’re going to say how we need these next two, but we do, we’ve got to have them. And so we’ve got to go out and play like that.”

Not always easy for this Bulls team.

Whenever it feels like they have issues solved, well, Saturday happens.

Whenever they are starting to feel good about themselves, last Tuesday in New York happens.

“Mentality is we have two must-win games where we have to have great focus and energy,’’ coach Fred Hoiberg said. “Obviously, the New York game was a disappointment. But we had five wins in six games against some really good teams in that stretch. We can’t let this deflate us.”

It shouldn’t have in the first place.

Not only have they been playing better, but they had veteran Dwyane Wade back from his dislocated right elbow.

Wade was scheduled to play 20 minutes, but gave them 24-plus minutes and 14 points on 5-for-11 shooting.

Afterward, he said he came out pain-free.

“Haven’t played with my teammates in a while,” Wade said of his return. “Second half, I came out more aggressive. From that standpoint, I’m glad to get out here. My goal was to get

back for the playoffs, but I’m glad to get out here now, a couple games, get back to playing with these guys so they can get comfortable with me.”

They sure remained comfortable with Butler, who put in 33 points and again tried to will this team across the finish line.

When the Nets’ Spencer Dinwiddie drew the foul on Wade with 13.6 seconds left and hit both free throws, that put the Bulls down two and left it up to Butler to play hero once again.

Even Superman’s cape gets tangled up once in a while, as Butler’s game-winning 3-point attempt went

long, putting Dinwiddie back at the line with 2.4 seconds left.

He all but iced the game, and now the Bulls season comes down to facing off against two teams with losing records.

“I don’t believe I need to say anything,” Butler said, when asked about his teammates. “I think everybody knows where we stand. Everybody is a grown man in here and I feel like they know that we must win these games if we want to find ourselves in the postseason.

“Ain’t too much to say. We’re in this together and that’s all.”

KINGS 3, BLACKHAWKS 2 (OT)

Regular season ends with loss; Predators await in 1st round

By MARK LAZERUS

mlazerus@suntimes.com LOS ANGELES – Six months and 246 periods after the Blackhawks opened a season of uncertainty, with six rookies in the opening-night lineup, they wrapped up the second-winningest regular season in franchise history with a 3-2 overtime loss to the Los Angeles Kings on Saturday afternoon.

They finished with 50 victories, just two shy of the team record set in 2009-10.

They finished with 24 road wins, matching their most ever. They finished with six 20-goal scorers. With Richard Panik emerging as a top-line power forward with 22 goals. With Nick Schmaltz a confident, playmaking star in the making. With Ryan Hartman a versatile, surprisingly productive 19-goal scorer.

With the top seed in the Western Conference.

And none of it means anything now.

The games count starting next week, likely Thursday, when the Hawks open

up the Stanley Cup playoffs at the United Center against the Nashville Predators, who suffered a stunning last-second loss to Winnipeg on Saturday to lock in the second wild-card and a first-round date with Chicago. The last two times the Hawks played the Predators in the first round (in 2010 and 2015), they won the Stanley Cup. And despite a meaningless 0-2-2 stretch to close the season, the Hawks feel ready to go.

“Absolutely,” Jonathan Toews said.

“That energy, that ambition, that motivation is back. We have that feeling again that every single moment, every single game matters. It’s a lot of fun to play this time of year. It’s why we work all year, to get to this point. As we’ve said in the past, the real season begins.”

The Hawks were less than a minute from breaking the franchise record for road wins, leading 2-1 on Artemi Panarin’s third-period goal. But Dustin Brown scored off an Anze Kopitar touch pass off the rush with 55 seconds left to

tie it, and Drew Doughty scored 27 seconds into overtime to end it.

Nobody wants to go into the playoffs with four straight losses, but the Hawks liked most of what they did in Anaheim on Thursday and in Los Angeles on Saturday.

“Our last two games, we did some decent things,” Joel Quenneville said.

“Would’ve been nice to win today, but we put ourselves in the position we wanted at the start of the season. That was our motivation. It’s good to be first in the division and we got the conference.”

Toews staked the Hawks to a 1-0 lead at 6:25 of the first period with his 21st goal. After a sleepy second period, the Kings tied it on a Tyler Toffoli power-play goal at 4:52 of the third. Panarin then cashed in on a Patrick Kane feed at 13:53 to give the Hawks a 2-1 lead – and likely secure a $1.725-million bonus for himself for finishing in the top 10 in points among NHL forwards (he’s tied for ninth, with 10 games on the schedule

Sunday).

And you wouldn’t have known the game was meaningless by the way Panarin celebrated it. Quenneville kept Panarin and Kane in the lineup for these last three games – along with Richard Panik, they’re the only Hawks to play all 82 games – as he pursued the bonus, which is well-earned, but could wreak havoc on next year’s salary cap.

“I think it might turn out OK,” Quenneville said with a smirk, clearly happy for Panarin.

After weeks of essentially playing out the string, and thinking about individual achievements, the Hawks are eager to turn the page on a wildly – and surprisingly – successful regular season.

“Finished first in the West, we have home ice, can’t ask for much more than that,” goaltender Corey Crawford said.

“It was a great, great season by us.

We’ve just got to build off that.”

Said Toews: “We want to see what we’re made of. And I think we’re all pretty confident in what we’re able to do.”

Everything in Irap’s record suggested him being an afterthought behind unbeaten favorite McCraken. Of his previous seven starts he had three seconds, three fourths and a third.

All of which made the 31-1 longshot’s breakthrough upset in the $1 million, Grade 2 race at Keeneland as sweet as it was surprising – to everyone except jockey Julien Leparoux, that is.

He always believed winning was within Irap’s reach.

“All his races, three seconds, they were good races,” Leparoux said after his second Blue Grass victory and first since 2013. “I just tried to do my best. ...

We had the perfect trip, we hoped for it and it became reality.”

NASCAR XFINITY

Jones gets win at Texas track

By STEPHEN HAWKINS The Associated Press

FORT WORTH, Texas – Erik Jones led 112 of 200 laps to win the NASCAR Xfinity Series race at the repaved and reconfigured Texas track Saturday.

The 20-year-old Jones got his seventh career Xfinity win, getting this one at the 1½-mile track where he first got to Victory Lane two years ago.

Jones finished the No. 20 Toyota for Joe Gibbs Racing a half-second ahead of Ryan Blaney, another full-time Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series driver.

Blaney led 43 laps and went into his final pit stop still with the lead before Jones went back in front for good on lap 156.

Only nine drivers finished on the lead lap.

Kevin Harvick, the polesitter for Sunday’s Cup race, finished third.

Gormley won the $1 million Santa Anita Derby by a half-length Saturday in the West’s major prep for the Kentucky Derby.

Ridden by Victor Espinoza, Gormley ran 11/8 miles in 1:51.16 and paid $14.40 to win at 6-1 odds in Southern California.

Battle of Midway was second, followed by Royal Mo, and Reach the World in fourth.

Illiad, the 3-1 favorite, finished fifth in the 13-horse field.

John Shirreffs trains Gormley and Royal Mo for owners Jerry and Ann Moss, who teamed to win the 2005 Kentucky Derby with 50-1 shot Giacomo.

Gormley earned 100 points in the system used to determine the 20-horse field for next month’s Kentucky Derby.

throughout before taking charge to cover 11/8 mile in 1:50.39.

He pulled away from 7-2 third choice Practical Joke in the stretch to win by ¾ length, not only becoming the first to earn his maiden victory in the Blue Grass but snatch 100 points McCraken was expected to win as the 8-5 favorite.

Ahead is a discussion between Irap’s connections and trainer Doug O’Neill, who was at the Santa Anita Derby, on whether Churchill Downs is ahead.

As for McCraken, he was in the hunt and found room in the stretch, but making up so much ground proved to be too much and he faded. He won the Grade 3 Sam F. Davis on Feb. 11 before an ankle injury kept him out of the Tampa Bay Derby, but his Blue Grass workouts were strong.

Irap turned out being stronger and finally has a big victory to show for it.

‘I wanted something meaningful to do’

Not ready to retire, Joliet man now serves those with disabilities

Randy Chapman is seen at the Center of Disability Services on March 31 in Joliet. The former publisher for The HeraldNews in Joliet and former senior development officer at the University of St. Francis in Joliet, Chapman officially began his new role as CEO for the Center for Disability Services on April 3.

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

OLIET – Randy Chapman will never forget his nephew Kendrick.

Kendrick, who was 2 when he died in 1988, never progressed past age 6 months, despite excellent care, Chapman said. He recalled the first time he and his wife, Sheryl Chapman, provided respite care for the family.

“Startling” is how Randy described it.

“It’s an experience you never forget once you have that,” Randy said.

The former publisher for The Herald-News in Joliet and former senior development officer at the University of St. Francis in Joliet, Randy officially began his new role as CEO for the Center for Disability Services in Joliet on April 3.

Randy brings to the role his experience in leadership, funded development and community engagement.

His goal is to provide the best possible experience to the individuals the center serves and to make those services more widely known and available to the community.

During his first year, Randy said he plans to increase the center’s fiscal stability, as well as expand enrollment in the school and in adult development training. He also will visit the residential homes, to see how they operate and to fill any openings, he added.

“I know there is unmet need in these counties that surround Will County,” Randy said.

In the meantime, Randy said he’s becoming acquainted with the building staff and the individuals the center serves. For instance, “Katie” has severe physical disabilities, but great ideas, so he makes time to listen to her.

“Melvin” loves clothes, so he and Randy bond that way.

“He admires my shoes and I admire his jackets,” Randy said.

Randy said he enjoys watching staff interact with the individuals.

“I’d love to just sit down with them on the floor some morning, or afternoon, and watch them – and perhaps engage,” Randy said.

Returning home to Joliet was easy for Randy because he and Sheryl never sold their home. Their children,

History of the Center for Disability Services • 1955: Melvin J. Larson, a college professor, worked with Will County Health Department to identify 35 cases of children with cerebral palsy, formed parents group.

• 1956: UCP of Will County became an affiliate.

• 1960: The first school for children with cerebral palsy opened at Rehn School in Joliet.

• 1965: A larger facility was rented on Manhattan Road in Joliet to accommodate growing attendance.

• 1979: Expanded to add respite care, family support services and an adult day-training program.

• 1981: Moved to the Cherry Hill Joliet facility.

• 1982: Temporarily relocated operations to St. Mary’s Hospital.

• 1985: Purchased the Reedswood School in Joliet, which brought the school and adult day-training programs under one roof.

• 2012: Added an autism room for school program.

• 2013: Constructed a completely wheelchair-accessible playground on agency property.

• 2014: Disaffiliated with United Cerebral Palsy National and became the Center for Disability Services.

grandchildren and friends were in Joliet, so keeping the home during the years Randy was publisher of the Post Bulletin and Rochester Magazine made it easy to visit.

After nearly 10 years in Minnesota, Randy and Sheryl returned to Joliet for good in January after “ownership decided it didn’t need to have a publisher.” Randy wasn’t ready to retire.

“I wanted something meaningful to do,” Randy said.

Randy said through attending community events as well as meetings at the Joliet Chamber of Commerce, he learned CDS needed a CEO. As it

turned out, Randy had past experiences with the center.

He chaired a campaign to develop funds for the center’s Willpower Endowment. As part of the Joliet Kiwanis Club, Randy said he did some painting at the center.

“I’d been in the building a number of times and I was familiar with its services,” Randy said. “And some people remembered that.”

Vince Portlock, chairman of the CDS board, said the center is very fortunate the CEO position was available when Randy returned to Joliet.

“We’re very confident he will do a

great job in running the center,” Portlock said.

Portlock added that the center also owes a huge amount of gratitude to former board chairman Larry Burich.

“Larry acted as interim CEO for two separate occasions in a two-year period, and, quite frankly, his assistance was invaluable,” Portlock said. “Not only did he keep the center running smoothly, but he provided us the time and opportunity to find the right candidate for CEO.” Burich, director of planning for the Joliet Park District, was happy to help, although it meant working the second job in the evenings and on weekends.

The second time as interim CEO was more complicated as the center was also searching for a new chief financial officer, Burich said. The new CFO is Sharon Asher-Hall of Plainfield. She also began work April 3.

Although balancing his roles at the park district and CDS was challenging, Burich said he did so for the individuals CDS serves. Burich said all weariness fled the moment he walked into the building and saw their faces.

Like Portlock, Burich is confident Randy will do a superior job and compared him to Sam Mancuso, a former CEO who died in 2010.

“The center needs stable leadership,” Burich said. “And that’s what Randy brings.”

STAR 96.7 DJ Andi K helps fifth-grader Tarree Hosey record a commercial during Student Interest Day at Hermansen Elementary School in Romeoville. Nineteen experts in their field provided students with hands-on info about careers and activities.

Students learn about careers The HERALD–NEWS ROMEOVILLE – Nearly two dozen community members, parents and some school personnel volunteered their time to provide third- through fifth-grade students with unique (and in many cases hands-on) information about their careers and/or hobbies at Hermansen Elementary School Student Interest Day. Students and their parents were asked in advance to choose three different sessions, each of which was roughly a half-hour long.

Topics included Healthy Foods,

Gala raises more than $140K The HERALD–NEWS JOLIET – On a milestone night that celebrated its tenth anniversary, the Greater Joliet Area YMCA Giving Gala raised more than $140,000 in support of the Y’s scholarship fund – the most in event history.

Held Feb. 25 at the Bolingbrook Golf Club, the annual fundraising event featured dinner, live entertainment and opportunities to bid on an assortment of silent and live auction items.

The Greater Joliet Area YMCA has been serving families, regardless of age, income or background, from throughout Will County and its surrounding areas for more than 85 years. Since its inception, the Giving Gala has raised more than $740,000 to benefit families within those communities, helping to ensure that no one is turned away from the Y due to the inability to pay.

This year’s Giving Gala volunteer

committee was co-chaired by Margie Bonuchi (Plainfield) and Greg Schaefer (Minooka). Committee members included Fiona Alston (Oswego), Judy Avery (Plainfield), Kathy Blessent (Plainfield), Rob Epley (Plainfield), MaryKay Hrdina (Plainfield), Kathy Kazmar (Plainfield), Maria Macris (Joliet), Nick Macris (Joliet), Dawn Marsaglia (Plainfield), Victoria Matway (Plainfield), Mary Olson (Morris), Ryan Peterson (Plainfield), Laurie Rambo (Crest Hill), Karen Rouse (Plainfield), Adam Underhill (Minooka), Mike Wickkiser (Morris), Barb Ziegner (Joliet) and Kristin Ziegner (Joliet).

Staff leadership was provided by Senior Development Director Julie Wilkinson and Annual Giving Manager Brittney Halliday.

The 11th annual Giving Gala will be Feb. 24, 2018. For more information about the Giving Gala or to join the planning committee, call the Y at 815729-9638.

3rd place at robotics challenge The HERALD–NEWS LOCKPORT – On Feb. 10, six Lockport Township High School engineering design students participated in the Robotics Engineering Challenge at Joliet Junior College.

This year, LTHS was represented by two teams each consisting of three students. These two teams competed against 24 other teams from schools all over the JJC district. At the competition, each team is required to build and program a robot. The robot

must perform various tasks to solve the three challenges given. The robot must do this while in autonomous mode, which means the robot must be capable of sensing its environment, navigating and performing the tasks without human interaction.

Congratulations to the LTHS team of Joseph Fill, Andrew Dugan and Norman Eallonardo, who placed third in the beginning robot category. The other LTHS team who participated included Ian Cozzi, Dale Westberg and Victoria Hennessey.

ASK THE DOCTORS Elizabeth Ko and Eve Glazier plant-based sources like olive oil and nuts.

We’re sure you’ve heard it before, but that’s because it’s true: leafy greens, whole grains and fresh fruits and vegetables provide a wide range of vitamins, minerals and fiber. Cooked tomatoes (which contain lycopene), cruciferous vegetables like broccoli and cauliflower, soy products and green tea also are recommended.

Studies show being obese or overweight is linked to higher rates of many kinds of cancer, including prostate cancer. Regular physical activity, which not only burns calories and fat but also builds muscle mass, results in a lower – and healthier – body mass index.

Do you use tobacco products? As physicians, we must ask you to please stop.

Tobacco plays a role in a daunting array of diseases and conditions, including prostate cancer. We know quitting can be difficult and have given our own patients a hand in leaving tobacco behind. Don’t be afraid to ask for help from your physician.

Cancers that are caught early are more easily treated. That makes screening important. Thanks to new understanding about slow-growing prostate cancers, many physicians now will recommend active surveillance in older men with slow-growing tumors.

• Eve Glazier, M.D., MBA, is an internist and assistant professor of medicine at UCLA Health. Elizabeth Ko, M.D., is an internist and primary care physician at UCLA Health.

Dear Doctor: Is there anything I can do to reduce my risk of prostate cancer? No one in my family has had cancer, but I just turned 55 and want to do whatever I can to stay healthy.

Dear Reader: While there is no single approach to prevent prostate cancer, research has shown certain lifestyle changes may reduce your risk of developing the disease. Considering that these behaviors also promote good health and well-being, you won’t go wrong by adopting any or all of them.

Let’s start with some facts about the disease.

Prostate cancer is the second-most common cancer in men, right behind skin cancer. According to the American Cancer Society, one in seven men will get a diagnosis of prostate cancer during his lifetime. However, that’s not as dire as it sounds. Prostate cancers grow slowly and are slow to spread. As a result, survival rates of prostate cancer are high. The fiveyear survival rate is close to 100 percent.

The 15-year survival rate is 95 percent.

The major risk factors for prostate cancer are age, race, family history, a diet high in red meat and animal fat and tobacco use. While the first three can’t be changed, they can alert you to be more vigilant.

About 70 percent of new cases of prostate cancer occur in men 65 and older. Men of African-American descent are at higher risk of developing the disease, and their cancers can be more aggressive. If you fall into those categories, and if cancer runs in your family, be sure to always include these facts in your medical history.

So how do you reduce your risk? Limit or skip red meat, dairy and animal fats.

Opt for lean proteins like chicken, fish and turkey instead. Focus on healthy fats from

If grandparents aren’t online, find another way to connect Dear Abby: My son “Travis,” age 9, is computer savvy, but his “Luddite” grandparents (my in-laws) live far away from us and don’t even have internet access. They are no longer able to travel, and our finances prohibit frequent visits to them.

Travis could be Skyping them, and they could have a vital relationship through the miracle of modern technology. Instead, he will take their phone calls only occasionally, and enjoys the annual visit with them – but mainly because of the other relatives there.

If these were my parents (who are sadly long gone), I’d set them up on Skype and have them at least try. When his grandparents are no longer able to live on their own and move to assisted living, will that offer at least a hope of virtual connectivity? – Modern Man In San Diego

BE A GOOD

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips Dear Modern Man: By age 9, if your son isn’t interested in talking to his grandparents, and his grandparents make no effort to reach out, do not expect it to happen when he’s older and they go into assisted living.

Travis should be compelled to talk to his grandparents more often. If people want to connect, they usually somehow manage to do it through letters, phones, computers, etc. Over the last 20 years, many seniors have learned about computers and manage them quite well.

If your in-laws have a smartphone, they could talk to your son on video chat.

Dear Abby: I have been playing the

NEIGHBOR

piano for five years and I still enjoy it.

But over the past year and a half, going for lessons every week and having to practice is getting old for me. In fact, I’m beginning to loathe it. It’s not the teacher, it’s not my parents – it’s me.

I’m just over all of the weekly lessons and having to remember to practice. My heart isn’t in it anymore. What do you think I should do? – Ryan In Michigan Dear Ryan: You should talk to your teacher about it. After five years of weekly lessons and diligent practice, you should have a pretty solid musical education by now. You may need to take a break, change teachers or even change instruments. Your teacher may have a broader perspective on this than you do, so take your guidance from the pro.

Dear Abby: I recently invited an acquaintance to be my guest at a play I’m directing and to the cast party

Volunteer.

afterward. I like this man, and he’s done me a number of favors, so the invitation was a sort of thank-you. I haven’t heard one way or the other from the invitee. I don’t want to push and make the person uncomfortable, but I’d like to know whether he’s coming or not. Should I follow up with him or let it go? – Needs

To Know In New York Dear Needs To Know: By not responding

to your invitation, the man is letting you know it’s not high on his list of priorities.

Personally, I think you should let it go.

And if he asks about the play just before it opens, tell him that you made other plans because you thought he wasn’t interested. Because you like him, say it nicely. To leave you hanging is rude.

SUNDAY HOROSCOPE

By EUGENIA LAST

Newspaper Enterprise Association TODAY – A steady pace and curious mind will lead you to a brighter future. Choose your battles wisely to avoid wasting time and energy on people and jobs with little to offer. Be willing to make sacrifices and be simple, precise and moderate in your actions. Hard work, not excess or risk-taking, will get you where you want to go.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Take better care of your health and well-being. Refuse to let anyone mess with you or your plans. Use your knowledge and skills for your own gain, not to indulge someone else’s dream.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Learn as you go if you want to master new skills and accomplish

your goals. Day trips and discussions will give you greater insight into personal and financial growth.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Don’t limit what you can do just to spare someone eager to take advantage of you. Be honest and do whatever you must to ensure that you get what you want.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Avoid emotional confrontations. Someone will want too much or show indulgent traits that will make you feel uncomfortable. Put distance between you and someone you feel is menacing.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Don’t hesitate if someone asks you to work overtime. Anything you can do to get ahead will not go to waste. You’ll make new allies if you pitch in and help.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Be careful when

handling other people’s money, possessions or personal paperwork. A sudden change in the way someone treats you should lead to questions, not anger. Find out where you stand.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Refuse to let peer pressure suck you into something. Make choices that encourage success and advancement.

Take a course or apply for an internship. Walk away from emotional manipulation.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Taking a day trip is encouraged, along with spending time with people who inspire you to forge ahead. Make a promise to someone you love. Romance will enhance your life.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Problems while traveling or dealing with people from different backgrounds can be expected. Make sure you

have all your paperwork in order before you depart. Moderation is encouraged.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – A secret meeting with someone from your past will lead to trouble. Rely on common sense and don’t jeopardize what you have worked so hard to build. Be forthright and avoid temptation.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Personal relationships will need to be reassessed. Consider what everyone is bringing to the table and work toward greater equality. Partnerships depend on balance, honesty and communication.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Problems will surface if you let someone from your past meddle in your personal affairs. Stay on top of any situation you face, and handle loved ones with care.
