When I first arrived in the Joliet area and was meeting people around town, it was a great introduction. I learned about the area’s history, its power brokers and the issues that are important to the community.

I also learned about how people read our content and how they felt about it.

One piece of feedback I heard then, and have heard repeated since, is that it’s really hard to read our website.

It’s not unique to us, but we had pop-up ads and autoplay videos and surveys and links at the bottom of stories that ... well ... aren’t news.

That’s where the good news comes in. That stuff will be gone.

Over the coming weeks, you’ll see continued improvements to our website, including a redesign of the site itself.

If you prefer to read us in a printlike format, we’ll have you covered

We want to reward our loyal subscribers with more value and less intrusion as you come to us to read news.

In addition, starting next month, subscribers will receive The Neighborhood Tourist, a premium local, glossy magazine featuring all the best things to see and do in and around our area. With your membership, you will receive up to four Neighborhood Tourist magazines a year.

Joliet to seek redevelopment of Crabigale’s building

By BOB OKON

bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The city again will seek proposals for redevelopment of the old Crabigale’s building after getting only one in a round that ended April 7.

This time around, the city will not require that prospective developers put a restaurant on the first floor, although the city continues to look for some form of an entertainment venue in the downtown building.

Joliet Economic Development Director Steve Jones said in an email that the city wanted to allow for more flexibility in the hope of getting more proposals.

“We are optimistic this flexibility will result in additional interest and hopefully lead to a redevelopment project prior to the end of the year,” Jones said.

The city owns the Loughran Build-

ing at 1 E. Cass St., which last was used for the Crabigale’s comedy club. The club closed in 2005. In recent years, two entrepreneurs have proposed restaurants for the building, but both plans eventually fell through.

The request for proposals continues to seek a restaurant and lounge on the first floor but now states that “alternate proposals may be considered if in keeping with the entertainment theme envisioned for Chicago Street.”

The Loughran Building is located on the corner of Chicago and Cass streets.

The city acquired it in 2001 with plans to work out a development agreement with an individual or company that would renovate the property and put it back into private use. Crabigale’s was the first and only venture at the building, and that was short-lived.

The development agreement created by the city basically turns over the property to an individual or company

once it has put $300,000 of renovations into the building.

As it did the last time around, the city will require that potential developers tour the building before making proposals.

Jones said four prospects toured the building before the city received one development proposal by a 3 p.m. deadline April 7.

Ikea’s 115-foot-high racking system under construction

By BOB OKON

bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A curious sight on the new construction skyline in Joliet is the 115-foot-high racking system rising above the Ikea distribution center.

Passers-by on Laraway Road might not help but notice the rows and rows of blue steel.

It’s a glimpse – even if from a distance – of the inner workings of the 1.25 million-square-foot distribution center scheduled to open sometime in spring 2018.

“It’s actually a rack-supported structure. That’s why they have to build it first before they build around it,” Ikea spokesman Joseph Roth said.

Eventually the racking system will be enclosed behind insulated steel walls, painted white and looking a bit different, but not much different, from the building around it.

Once functional, the giant racking system will operate without light with huge cranes moving along a couple dozen aisles. It will be an automated system that selects from thousands of Ikea products and takes them to a lower level. Goods then will be moved outside what’s called the high bay to workers who will load them onto trucks headed for company stores.

“It’s not air-conditioned,” Roth said of the high bay. “There are no lights.

But that’s not unique to Joliet for us.

That’s how most Ikea distribution centers are – at least the new ones.”

The high bay is one of three buildings that make up the Ikea distribution center. The others will be illuminated.

The Joliet facility will be the sixth Ikea-owned and operated distribution center in the U.S. Kai Pflederer, on-site assistant project manager for Gray Construction, the general contractor on the project, said he got a sense of the size of the main bay when driving back to the site and seeing it from a distance.

“It’s kind of a unique project in that the high bay is being built in sections,” Pflederer said. “Most warehouses would be a similar footprint. You don’t have these different elevations of buildings.”

Ikea will employ between 100 and 125 people at the Joliet facility.

Contractors work to complete the 1.25 million-square-foot Ikea distribution center Thursday in Joliet. last project in the Laraway Crossings Business Park, which also is home to two Amazon.com fulfillment centers and the Cadence Premier Logistics corporate headquarters and trucking operation.

But the Ikea project now under construction might not be the last.

Ikea has acquired adjacent property to someday build a twin facility, including the high bay, that would match the one being built now. The company, however, has not announced a timetable for building the next facility.

Meanwhile, DHL Supply Chain is building a 1 million-square-foot speculative building nearby on Laraway Road at Rowell Avenue. That project is scheduled for completion in September.

A less conspicuous construction project is underway a bit up the road on Rowell Avenue, where excavation has started for the next Laraway School.

The school is moving from its present site at 275 W. Laraway Road mainly

to get away from the large amount of semitrailer traffic going to and from CenterPoint Intermodal Center – Joliet.

While the school won’t be far from the newest warehouses, Laraway School District 70C Superintendent Joe Salmieri said the district is confident that it has found a spot away from the truck paths.

Signs already have gone up to prevent truck traffic up Rowell Avenue, a narrow, two-lane road that would seem to be an unlikely truck route. The Ikea project is designed to send traffic in other directions.

The school also is protected by a small bridge on Rowell Avenue with a weight limit that won’t support truck traffic, Salmieri said.

Salmieri said the school has assurances from the city and Joliet Township that the weight limit will be enforced if needed. The school district also is working on an intergovernmental agreement with the city to maintain truck restrictions in the future.

Mars Wrigley status

The Ikea and DHL buildings are among about a dozen industrial projects recently completed or under construction in the southeast section of Joliet, said David Mackley, the city’s director of inspections.

The Ikea building might be the most noticeable, Mackley said, but it is not the only project of its scope in the area.

Mars Wrigley has begun stocking its 1.4-million-square-foot distribution building in CenterPoint Intermodal Center – Joliet.

“When you go into that building, it smells like mint because of all the gum in there,” Mackley said.

Temperature is strictly regulated in the building for the sake of food preservation and so as not to blend flavors between Wrigley gum and Mars chocolate bars.

“They have a higher rate of air changes in there to keep that mint smell under control so it does not penetrate other products,” Mackley said.

citizens and the county,” Welter said.

Current board Chairman Chris Balkema said he’s happy for the opportunity that has been offered to Pryor.

“He’s done a fantastic job for the county and moved it in the right direction,” Balkema said.

All three agree the replacement needs to be chosen carefully to help continue to carry the county in the direction it is headed with less revenue than it has had historically.

“We’re grateful and excited that Doug is willing to help us pick the replacement and help train him before his contract is up at the end of May,” Balkema said.

Balkema said if the county has to change administrators as officials start working toward Vision 2020 and the start of their three-year goals, this is a better time to do it, rather than when they are a year-and-a-half into the plan.

“Doug has been instrumental in the financial changes and it’s going to be difficult to find someone of his caliber to replace him,” Welter said. “I encourage the board to take its time as it takes a step forward to find the right candidate.”

Balkema said the board will post the job internally as well as externally and they encourage anyone who is interested in the position to apply.

Channahon trustee nominated for Will County Board seat

By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A longtime village of Channahon trustee has been picked to fill an open spot on the Will County Board.

Debbie Militello was nominated by the Will County Republican Central Committee to fill a seat left vacant when Ragan Freitag of Wilmington resigned in February to become the county board’s new chief of staff.

The nomination was submitted Wednesday to Will County Executive Larry Walsh Sr.’s office by Republican committee Chairwoman

Kathy Havel, according to board documents. The political party of the exiting board member nominates that person’s replacement.

The board will vote on whether to confirm Militello at its meeting Thursday. If approved, she would take the seat immediately.

Militello, who is Debbie currently chief deputy Militello to Will County Treasurer Steve Weber, declined Friday to comment until after she is sworn in.

Will County State’s Attorney’s

Office spokesman Chuck Pelkie said typically when people from county offices are nominated to the board, they resign from their county office position.

Pelkie confirmed with the state’s attorney’s civil division that there would be a conflict of interest if Militello remained in the treasurer’s office, so she intends to resign.

Militello has served on the Channahon Village Board since 2003 when she was appointed. Her current term expires in 2019, so Channahon officials will have to find a replacement.

Militello was one of two trustees in December 2015 to vote against a

tax levy increase and voted against an increase in 2013, as well, according to Herald-News files.

In February 2015, she pushed for more variation in home offerings in Channahon, asking the village to provide for every stage of life, from recent college graduates to seniors wanting to downsize.

Militello has served as the Channahon Township Republican Committee chairwoman. She was U.S. Rep. Jerry Weller’s congressional aide for 15 years.

A call to the Will County Republican Central Committee was not returned Friday.

Q&A: Veronica Gloria talks Joliet background, Spanish center future

By BOB OKON

bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Veronica Gloria became executive director at the Spanish Community Center in February. She recently sat down with Senior Reporter Bob Okon to discuss her plans for the center and share a bit about herself.

Okon: You’ve spoken publicly about the Spanish Community Center being in jeopardy financially. What’s the situation?

Gloria: We’re in a situation where our budget has consisted of several state grants and funding from United Way, the Silver Cross Hospital Healthy Community Commission, Child Care Resource and Referral, and donors. But the state portion has been a concern of the center. Most of the state funding has been zeroed out for the 2017 bud-

get. That’s not new. As many people know, the state has been going through financial difficulty, and human services have been affected. That’s happening with us, as well. ... It’s going to impact our operations. That’s where we’ll have to reimagine what we can provide. Without this funding, we’ll have to be very creative.

The University of St. Francis has been helpful to us. They have lent us their finance team to talk through our finances, to forecast where we’ll be going. D’Arcy Motors has been very helpful in speaking to us about fundraising ideas. They’ve introduced us to community members willing to help us out.

There was a time that we were very concerned if we would continue. We thought we shouldn’t frame the question in the form of if we’ll continue.

Instead we are asking how we will continue. We provide very important services. We see that every day.

Okon: You have an upcoming fundraiser.

Gloria: We have an awards dinner coming up on April 20. We’re very excited to honor Mary Jaworski, who played an important role in Fiesta En La Calle. That’s an important Veronica fundraiser that supports Gloria the Spanish Community Center. They’re meeting again for this year’s Fiesta En La Calle, and you can tell Mary brings a lot of energy to the cause. ... We’re also going to be awarding Bob O’Dekirk. Mayor Bob O’Dekirk has already come here a few times and expressed interest in seeing how he

could help us. We’re very impressed with the [immigration] meeting he had at Our Lady of Mount Carmel. That really alleviated a lot of people’s concerns. ... We’ll also be honoring Silver Cross Hospital, which has provided lots of help over the years through the Silver Cross Hospital Healthy Community Commission.

Okon: Are tickets still available?

Gloria: People can buy tickets on our Eventbrite. Or, they can come here.

We’ll also be selling tickets at the door.

If people cannot come, they can also make donations.

Okon: Tell us a little about yourself.

Gloria: I was born and raised in Joliet. I was born to immigrant parents from Mexico. My father went to school in this building.

Canine egg hunt sees Hammel Woods go to the dogs

By KRIS STADALSKY

Shaw Media correspondent SHOREWOOD – It could be said the day went to the dogs. But with 4,561 plastic eggs filled with dog treats and prizes scattered about the dog park at Hammel Woods, it was precisely the way Shorewood H.U.G.S. had it planned.

Saturday morning was the ninth annual Hugs for Hounds event to raise funds for the Forest Preserve District of Will County’s K-9 officer, Jullo.

Jullo’s partner and handler, Officer Dean Klier, said the Hugs for Hounds event funds a big part of Jullo’s budget, along with support from other businesses such as Alsip Nursery.

“He loves going to work every day.

We try our best to keep drugs out of our parks and [find] people who have gone missing,” Klier said.

Jullo is so good at his job, he even has a special talent of finding lost keys.

He was able to sniff out a set of keys from a snow embankment for the Lockport Park District, Klier said.

The warm, sunny morning brought out 240 dogs and 451 humans for the event.

Opal, a white pit bull mix, wore

Humans assist their dogs with collecting eggs Saturday at Hammel Woods in Shorewood. bunny ears and a skirt. Her owner, Leah Hopkins, brought Opal all the way from Griffith, Indiana, to hunt for eggs. It doesn’t hurt that her mom lives in Joliet, she said.

“This is so cute,” Hopkins said. “We didn’t realize how many people there would be.”

Two large coonhounds wore matching T-shirts with plastic eggs sewn all over them and white cotton tails to boot.

There were bonnets, bows, scarves and sweaters – and humans carrying Easter baskets and plastic bags ready to snatch up the eggs for the pooches.

One little pug named Champ never misses the event, said his owner, Mary Eichelberger of Joliet.

Although the rules state the dogs must touch or at least sniff an egg before their humans can collect it for them, Mary gave Champ a bit of assistance because he doesn’t move around much because of hip dysplasia. No one seemed to mind, and Champ was happy as a clam with the treats inside the eggs.

“He’s got to be here; it’s his fifth year,” Eichelberger said.

When all the eggs were collected, there were raffles and contests. Some dogs went home with coveted awards such as best outfit, smallest dog, largest dog, dog who looks most like their owner and dog who came from farthest away.

While Shorewood H.U.G.S. is mostly known for helping humans navigate difficult times by providing special services, Saturday’s event was about Jullo, H.U.G.S. President Susan Underwood said.

“We really believe it’s important to give back [to the community],” Underwood said. “One hundred percent goes to help the Will County Forest Preserve’s needs.”

first time this season and see if they could get a good time.

To do that, they said, it’s all about the reaction time at the start. They are shooting to hit the gas in less than onetenth of a second. They admit it may be difficult to measure from their end, but that quick start can make all the difference.

So the two strapped on their helmets, entered the track and when the Christmas tree – the system of lights

letting the drivers know when to accelerate – lit up, they were off. A mere 12 seconds later, the race was over – 12.819 seconds for Cesario and 12.861 for Buzane, to be exact. They both took two-tenths of a second to react at the start, and while that might still seem fast, it’s not good enough for them.

“Terrible reaction time,” Cesario said. “That was a drag race for the sleepers at the line.”

“But basically all you got to do is be

better than the guy next to you,” Buzane said, looking at his partner and laughing.

Still, the self-proclaimed “track rats” will be back soon enough, if not racing their cars again, then watching the pros do it. It’s just a hobby they can’t get enough of.

“My first time with the drag strip was 1967, so that was a long time ago,” Cesario said. “And yeah, I still get all ramped up for it.”

JOLIET – Pete Buzane, 74, and Joe Cesario, 68, both love their cars.

Their 2012 and 2011 black Mustangs glimmer in the sun as they ride up side by side.

But these cars are not just for show.

On Saturday, Buzane and Cesario took them out to the Route 66 Raceway in Joliet for the first Test & Tune event of the season, where drag racers can get out on the track and put their cars to the test.

Both men are now retired so they have time to maintain the cars and spend their weekends racing. They take good care of their rides. Cesario said he keeps his Mustang stored away from Nov. 1 to April 1. Not even a small water splotch escapes his inspection as he readies his car.

“The only time it sees the rain is when we’re at the drag strip and it’s raining,” Cesario said.

While the Test & Tune events are for everyone from amateurs to seasoned driving veterans like Buzane and Cesario, some use them as practice runs for the bracket series competitions.

Buzane and Cesario were more than content to just get on the track for the

SPRING IS HERE

A suspect has been named in the fatal shooting of a recent parolee, which occurred Friday night at a family party near Channahon.

James F. Hess, 65, is charged with one count of aggravated discharge of a firearm in the death of 29-yearold Nathan Hofkamp, a news release from James. F. the Will County Sher- Hess iff’s Office stated.

Hofkamp was pronounced dead Saturday morning in the Presence Saint Joseph Medical Center emergency room in Joliet, according to the Will County Coroner’s Office.

Hofkamp had just been released from prison and was celebrating with family at a residence in the 25000 block of Canal Road in unincorporated Will County near Channahon when a disturbance broke out, a sheriff’s office news release stated.

About 11:25 p.m. Friday, Hess

allegedly became upset and shot Hofkamp in the chest, according to the sheriff’s office.

Hess is being held in the Will County Jail, and further charges are pending review of the Will County State’s Attorney’s Office. He is scheduled to appear in court at 9 a.m.

Monday.

Hess, who lives on Canal Road with Hofkamp’s mother, was charged with battery in 2011 and granted court supervision, according to Will County court records.

He also was given court supervision in 2010 for a charge of property damage in connection with a 2009 incident.

Additionally, in 2010, Hess was charged with domestic battery and interfering with the reporting of domestic violence, but those charges were dropped.

Hofkamp had been serving a sentence for theft and aggravated assault at Vienna Correctional Center and was scheduled to be paroled Friday, according to Illinois Department of Corrections records.

He had previously served time for theft, drug possession and burglary.

He came here when he was 11 years old. And I lived across the street from the center until I was 4 years old. I have very vivid memories. My grandfather still lives there. I talked with him the other day and I said, “Remember, how I lied about snakes being in the yard so I didn’t have to go to preschool?” I didn’t want to go to school, and then I went to Harvard. School became very important to me.

Okon: What did you study at Harvard University?

Gloria: I studied social studies with a concentration on inequality in 21st century United States. I had a minor in ethnicity, immigration and human rights.

I graduated in 2015.

Okon: Why did you come back to work at the Spanish Community Center?

Gloria: I was always aware of the great work they did in this community.

Even when I went to college, my goal was to come back to Joliet to see how I could help. A lot of what I studied is

Gloria: We also serve as a one-stop for social services. People come here for one concern, but we do a comprehensive intake so we can address all of their concerns. We also have a citizenship and immigration class. That’s the New American Initiative. We have citizenship classes for people of all backgrounds. We have people from Kenya, Poland, the Philippines, Greece.

Then, we have adult education in computer literacy and ESL [English as a Second Language]. We’re going to work with another nonprofit to provide classes for couples. Then, we have a number of recreational programs that meet here regularly.

Okon: It sounds like you’re learning some things you didn’t learn at Harvard.

Gloria: When I started, I thought, “Oh my gosh, I just stepped into something where I don’t know where we’re going.”

I still don’t know. But a lot of people stepped up to help. I feel that I’m not alone. People will ask me, what is more difficult – Harvard or this?

I think this is my most difficult challenge. But I’m not alone.

related to what the Spanish Community Center does. ... My thesis was about Joliet. My essay when I applied [to Harvard] was about Joliet.

Okon: Did you have previous experience with the Spanish Community Center?

Gloria: I volunteered to teach computer coding here once before. And I actually went to Sunday school here.

Okon: What plans do you have as executive director?

Gloria: My biggest plan is first to make sure we continue to provide the important services that we do. Right now, the question is how we move forward, not if. I also want people to understand what we do.

A lot of people have the misunderstanding that we only serve Hispanic people. The Spanish Community Center name reflects the heritage of the center.

But we have a food pantry and tax services, and you see a very multicultural group of people. ... Our day care is bilingual. We have children from non-Hispanic backgrounds, and when they leave here, they speak both English and Spanish.

Doctors help with medical pot enrollment The ASSOCIATED PRESS

SPRINGFIELD – Some Illinois doctors are traveling to Springfield to help residents enroll in the state’s medical marijuana program.

Dr. David Footerman of Rockford began seeing patients seeking medical marijuana last month at an office complex in Springfield, and Chicago-based internist Dr. Mauricio Consalter has been seeing such patients in Bloomington, The State Journal-Register reported.

Medical marijuana advocates in Illinois said doctors’ willingness to help patients remains the biggest hurdle to long-term success for the pilot program. The program’s enrollment since fall 2014 stands at 18,300, and the number of potential enrollees is believed to be two to five times higher.

HSHS Medical Group CEO Dr. Loren Hughes said he believes the number of doctors willing to fill out paperwork required by the state for patients with one of 40 qualifying chronic medical conditions will continue to grow.

“The longer that something’s around, the more likely attitudes will change,” he said.

Protesters demand Trump release tax returns

CHICAGO – Protesters took to the streets in Chicago and other cities nationwide to demand that President Donald Trump release his tax returns.

The atmosphere was festive Saturday at a downtown Chicago rally where a sousaphone band played and rallygoers chanted.

Retired public school teacher Donna Moschinski lives in suburban Chicago and said she considered not paying her taxes this year as a protest to Trump not releasing his. She called it an “utter lack of transparency.”

Attendees included the Rev. Jesse Jackson and Democratic U.S. Reps. Mike Quigley and Jan Schakowsky of Illinois.

Trump is the first major party nominee in more than 40 years to not release

dent of rural Coles County, drove nearly two hours to visit with Footerman in Springfield.

“He’s very knowledgeable,” Davis said of Footerman, who previously specialized in anesthesiology. “He’s doing it from his heart.”

Dan Linn, executive director of the

Illinois chapter of the National Organization to Reform Marijuana Laws, said Springfield isn’t the only community where doctors are traveling to help patients obtain medical marijuana.

“I think it’s meeting a demand that’s out there,” Linn said.

A statement by the Illinois Depart-

ment of Financial and Professional Regulation in 2013 said state law doesn’t permit “ ‘medical cannabis clinics’ or practices that exist solely to offer cannabis certifications.”

Medical marijuana advocates said the department’s rules on this issue are vague, and decisions on whether to seek disciplinary action have been unpredictable.

Chris Stone, chief executive officer of Health Central Illinois Alternatives, which operates Illinois-regulated dispensaries for medical marijuana in Collinsville and Springfield, said generally doesn’t approve of out-of-town doctors certifying local patients.

“It’s bad for our industry. It’s bad for doctors in general,” Stone said. “I hope they are spending some time to know the community so it’s not just a fly-by-night operation.”

Stone said he’d prefer that local doctors meet the area’s demand. He said his organization is working to educate the medical community about medical marijuana.

“There are definitely some doctors who are fully resistant to it,” Stone said. “There are some doctors who are being educated and realize the benefit to patients.”

Lawyer: United will save evidence in passenger case

CHICAGO – The lawyer for a man dragged off a United flight said the airline and Chicago officials have agreed to preserve evidence of the incident.

Attorney Thomas Demetrio said Saturday that the agreement means a court hearing scheduled next week isn’t taking place.

A lawsuit has not been filed, but Demetrio has indicated one is forthcoming.

He represents Dr. David Dao, a 69-yearold passenger who didn’t want to give up his seat last week on a flight from O’Hare International Airport. Demetrio has said Dao lost teeth, suffered a concussion and a broken nose as airport police employed by Chicago removed him.

Video of the incident went viral.

United has apologized and promised to review passenger-removal policies.

Officials: 3 injured in Chicago apartment building fire

CHICAGO – Authorities said three people were injured in a massive fire that appears to have been triggered by an explosion at an apartment building on Chicago’s South Side.

The Chicago Fire Department said crews were called to the blaze about 6 a.m. Saturday.

Witnesses told authorities that the fire was started by an explosion.

Authorities said the cause has not been determined and remains under investigation.

One person was hospitalized with severe burns. Another was injured while jumping out of a window from the building. A third suffered minor cuts.

Fire officials said part of the building collapsed.

More than 100 emergency crews were called to the building.

J.B. Pritzker puts $7M into campaign for governor

CHICAGO – Billionaire businessman J.B. Pritzker has contributed $7 million to his campaign fund for Illinois governor.

The donation confirmed Saturday by a campaign spokeswoman comes over a week after the Democrat officially launched his campaign to unseat Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner.

It already was expected to be an expensive race. Rauner, a former private equity investor, put $50 million of his own money into a re-election fund in December. Pritzker is the founder of a private investment firm and an heir to the Hyatt hotel fortune.

Also running is Democratic businessman Chris Kennedy, who donated $250,100 to his campaign, and raised $1 million in the first six weeks of his candidacy.

Other Democrats seeking the nomination in the March primary include state Sen. Daniel Biss and Chicago Alderman Ameya Pawar.

Tax Day protesters take on Trump, supporters

By TAMMY WEBBER The Associated Press

CHICAGO – Thousands of chanting, sign-carrying protesters took to the streets in cities across the nation Saturday, demanding that President Donald Trump release his tax returns, so Americans can scrutinize his business ties and potential conflicts of interest.

Violent clashes were the exception during the largely peaceful demonstrations, but in Berkeley, California, police arrested 13 people and confiscated knives and makeshift weapons after fistfights broke out between factions that support and oppose Trump.

Trump was the first major-party nominee in more than 40 years not to release his tax returns, saying it was because he was under audit. He later said that voters don’t care.

But 71-year-old Ilene Singh said he’s wrong.

She rode a bus from New Jersey to New York City with her friend Geraldine Markowitz, 83, to take part in protests. “We’re here to say we care,” said Singh.

Pushing her walker, Karin Arlin, 85, a Holocaust survivor who came to the U.S. from Germany when she was 9, said she’s also worried about the direction of the country.

“You don’t know which way the country goes,” said Arlin next to her 89-year-old husband who fled Czechoslovakia during World War II. “I hope Republicans see it.”

Actress and producer Justine Bateman, who addressed several thousand people at a rally in downtown Los Angeles, said Americans need “financial statement proof” that Trump is not beholden to any business interests or country other than the U.S. In Washington, D.C., one of Trump’s sharpest critics in the House spoke to protesters at

the U.S. Capitol just before they set off on a march to the National Mall. Democratic Rep. Maxine Waters, of California, said there’s nothing to prevent Trump from releasing his income taxes and that “the simple truth is he’s got a lot to hide.”

“If he thinks he can get away with playing king, he’s got another thought coming,” Waters said.

The 13 arrests in Berkeley came Saturday after about 200 people gathered at the Martin Luther King Jr. Civic Center Park for separate rallies and pushing and fistfights began.

Officers confiscated knives, flagpoles, helmets and sticks with signs on them, things that were being used as weapons.

In Last Vegas, police said a broadcast photojournalist for KLAS-TV was arrested and cited for trespassing and obstructing during a protest at Trump International Hotel near the Strip. Event organizer Laura Martin said at least three others were detained but released.

Authorities said the protest was attended by about 250 people.

For four decades, presidents and major party nominees have released some of their tax returns, with the exception of Gerald Ford.

Trump’s break with precedent has raised questions about possible conflicts of interest.

Protesters in Raleigh, North Carolina, said they suspect that Trump’s returns might show he has paid little or nothing to the government he now heads, or that he was indebted to Russian, Chinese or other foreign interests.

“His reputation ... as a businessman and, more importantly, as a true American, a person who is concerned with American values, would be totally destroyed if all his financial information was made public,” said Mike Mannshardt, a retired teacher.

Judge halts plan to execute 8 inmates in 11 days

By ANDREW DeMILLO and KELLY P. KISSEL The Associated Press

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – A federal judge dealt a serious blow Saturday to Arkansas’ unprecedented plan to execute eight inmates in an 11-day period, saying the men have the right to challenge a drug protocol that could expose them to “severe pain.”

The state appealed U.S. District Judge Kristine Baker’s order hours later, hoping to follow through with its planned executions, with the first scheduled for Monday. Arkansas’ supply of one of its three lethal injection drugs, midazolam, expires April 30 and Republican Gov. Asa Hutchinson has said he wants to use the drugs before they spoil.

Manufacturers object to states using their drugs in executions, and the Arkansas Department of Corrections said in previous court filings that it doesn’t have a way of obtaining more of the sedative midazolam. A drug supplier, meanwhile, asked a state judge to lift a temporary restraining order preventing Arkansas from using a paralyzing drug, vecuronium bromide, and sought to drop its lawsuit claiming Arkansas obtained the drug under false pretenses.

Another federal judge and the state

Protesters gather Friday outside the state Capitol building in Little Rock, Ark., to voice their opposition to Arkansas’ planned executions.

Supreme Court had already granted stays to two of the eight inmates, reducing the number of planned executions to six within an 11-day period. If Arkansas had proceeded with its original plan to execute eight inmates in double executions on four days, it would have been the most people put to death by a state in that timeframe since the U.S. Supreme Court reauthorized the death penalty in 1976. Only Texas has executed six in-

mates in less time.

Hutchinson said he would meet with the state’s lawyers and its prison officials on Monday to discuss Arkansas’ next moves as it attempts to conduct executions for the first time since 2005.

“I understand how difficult this is on the victims’ families, and my heart goes out to them as they once again deal with the continued court review; however, the last-minute court reviews are all part

of the difficult process of death penalty cases,” Hutchinson said in a statement.

In her order, Baker said there was a significant possibility that the inmates could successfully challenge the state’s execution protocol. She said that while the state demonstrated it does not plan to torture the inmates, the inmates had a right to challenge the method of execution in an attempt to show it “creates a demonstrated risk of severe pain.” She also noted that the execution team did not have antidotes on hand in case there was trouble with any of the drugs.

“The schedule imposed on these officials, as well as their lack of recent execution experience, causes concern,” she wrote.

The prisoners’ lawyers say the midazolam would not prevent the inmates from feeling excruciating pain as their lungs and heart shut down.

The Arkansas attorney general’s office said the decision strayed from previous cases before the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals and the U.S. Supreme Court.

“It is unfortunate that a U.S. district judge has chosen to side with the convicted prisoners in one of their many last-minute attempts to delay justice,” said Judd Deere, a spokesman for the office.

Dear Mr. Berko: President Donald Trump will spend $639 billion on defense this fiscal year. In fact, he recently announced a $54 billion increase in defense spending, which is up $6 billion from 2016. The president announced that he’s committed to rebuilding our military, committed to improving our cybersecurity ability and committed to increasing our arsenal of planes and ships. What major defense stocks would you recommend to profit from this increased spending?

– JK, Kankakee Dear JK: The following are some of

percent dividend, yielding 1.8 percent, has increased every year since 1996.

Because there will always be economic, social and political turmoil in the world, intentionally inspired by nations (the U.S. included), defense spending will be a major portion of our gross domestic product. The three companies above employ 259,000 people and support millions of others who are employed by smaller contractors.

The subcontractors produce billions of dollars’ worth of important parts for these companies plus Rockwell Automation, Northrop Grumman, Boeing, B/E Aerospace, Elbit Systems, L3 Technologies and others. It’s estimated that our defense spending directly employs 3.1 million people (civilian and military) when it comes to making weapons and 3 million indirectly, such as those working in local businesses supported by a contractor’s location in town.

That’s 6.1 million people! Holy gosh, just imagine the economic catastrophe we’d have if peace were to break out all over!

OPINIONS OUR VIEW

Dispute over dollars, sense

Last week, the Shorewood Village Board found itself mired in a dispute over dollars and sense.

Specifically, the conflict involved common sense and the lack thereof displayed by Mayor Rick Chapman in his use of the village gas pump to fill up his personal vehicle.

The mayor’s use of village-owned gas, which Chapman has said began in 2011, came to light in the form of an election season mailing that showed surveillance footage of Chapman at the pump and announced, “Village president helps himself to your tax dollars.”

In reality, the situation is a bit more nuanced than that.

Shorewood invoices show that since 2011, Chapman pumped about $2,585 in village-owned gas, or about 835 gallons, into his 1999 Cadillac.

Chapman has said he requested and was granted access to the village pumps while Shorewood’s village administrator position was vacant and Chapman was taking on additional duties for the village. He said he used the Cadillac exclusively for village business.

However, Trustee Edmund Murphy has said that proper procedure for using a personal vehicle for village purposes requires expenses be documented and approved by the board, and that village gas is meant for village-owned vehicles.

According to village code, privately owned vehicles can be reimbursed at a rate of 30 cents per mile. If an employee or elected official seeks reimbursement, the request must be included in a report to be voted on by the village board.

Chapman has said he’s saved the village money, and, assuming he really did use the Cadillac solely for village business, he’s right. The $2,585 in village gas would’ve translated to about $4,263 if Chapman sought reimbursement. But while Chapman may have saved the taxpayers money, he also put himself and the village at risk of losing residents’ confidence.

By failing to follow proper procedure, Chapman asked taxpayers to blindly trust him, to assume that he never used his Cadillac for personal reasons in the time he was filling it at the village pump.

Regardless of what he used the car for, the monetary cost of the gas is minimal. What’s more concerning than that expense is Chapman’s apparent failure to recognize that he’s compromised public trust.

Chapman has said that part of why he didn’t seek reimbursement for his travel expenses is because he disliked filling out expense reports.

Now, in response to the gas-pump controversy, the village’s attorney and auditors are reviewing policies on board purchases and Trustee Anthony Luciano has requested legal review of possible consequences for Chapman’s actions. Based on comments The Herald-News has received on Facebook, our readers aren’t thrilled about the situation either.

If skipping typical procedure was worth risking such an outcome, Chapman must really hate paperwork.

AMENDMENT

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Fair pay for state workers

To the Editor: For 13 years, I worked alongside Mr. Yanko’s Pipe Fitters Local #597 as a non-union estimator and field engineer. They taught me many things and I taught many of their apprentices engineering. I worked with their journeymen to solve problems they encountered. We built the Ni-Gas SNG Plant, Collins Station, Braidwood Station and LaSalle Station.

The local is one of the largest in the national union. I don’t know if other locals are organized the same, but 597 was basically run by the piping companies who employed the members. Some of the leaders were permanently employed members may of had some ownership.

We had many discussions about the local but I never heard a single derogatory remark about the arrangement. During those 13 years, it honored only one strike by another union. Members were well-paid and expected to do a good day’s work.

If they didn’t, they left voluntarily or otherwise.

I understand Mr. Yanko’s support for AFSCME, since he is a 597 member, but his union’s model won’t work for the state. I think a responsible union is necessary but a uniform pay scale is wrong.

The wages of someone in Cook or the collar

counties may allow a decent living. The same wages in most of the rest of Illinois allows a very high living standard.

I think a graduated system should be used to create a new pay scale. This would be done by freezing the scale in cheaper areas while higher areas got a raise.

The maximum difference could be $10,000.

This would be fair to their neighbors and the state’s taxpayers. Perhaps it could be extended to legislators -- Oops, that will never happen.

Marijuana soon will be decriminalized

To the Editor: There’s talk of decriminalizing marijuana in Illinois. It will be only a matter of time before it’s approved.

Smoking pot, when approved, and along with drinking booze, shooting a gun, burning the American flag and blocking streets, it will be a constitutional right. It can’t get better than this!

MIDLIFE CIRCUS Bill Wimbiscus that’s a holiday (something called D.C. Emancipation Day, which basically emancipates District of Columbia government employees of having to work that day).

However, the day by which you’ll earn enough money to pay all your taxes – federal, state and local – comes somewhat later.

For the nation as a whole, that date is known as Tax Freedom Day. The date, coined by a group called The Tax Foundation, represents the day Americans will have to work until they pay all of their 1. Federal, state and local income taxes; 2. payroll taxes; 3. sales and excise taxes; 4. corporate income taxes and property taxes; 5. estate and inheritance taxes, customs duties; and 6. “other” taxes (which, if you live in Chicago, includes fees like the pennyan-ounce soda tax and 7-cent grocery bag tax).

In 2016, Tax Freedom Day was April 24, meaning it took 114 days

Cure for rising health-care costs

To the Editor: Do we want all Americans to have health care or not?

Considering we are the largest industrial economy in the world, have a very high GDP per person, it’s amazing we come up with all these schemes: Medicare, Medicaid, Veterans hospital care, CHIPs, requiring companies to provide healthcare for employees.

Why don’t we just pull the trigger and say all Americans deserve Medicare?

We spend huge amounts educating our citizens, keeping them healthy creates a productive work force. The most expensive people, the elderly, are already covered. Medicare has a reputation of being fairly well run considering the alternatives.

A leading reason for personal bankruptcies are medical expenses and price gouging the uninsured without negotiating power of insurance. Companies would be glad to shift all the costs of medical coverage to the government.

Granted, the insurance companies would demand a piece of the health care action so we could have them sell supplemental insurance as they do now.

You need to realize insurance companies don’t operate for free but strive to make as much money for the stockholders as possible.

Thomas Cechner Lockport

(including last year’s Leap Day) to pay off the nation’s overall tax debt of $4.9 trillion.

Well, that’s not really true.

Because if you live in a financially challenged state like Illinois – one so politically inept it can’t pass a budget let alone balance one – Tax Freedom Day came a bit later: April 29.

Well, that’s not really true.

Because once you factor in all of the federal borrowing required to finance our $19.8 trillion federal debt, Tax Freedom Day came even later: May 10.

Meaning that every penny you earned for the first 129 days of 2016 was not your own – it belonged to the government. Collectively, Americans spent more on taxes last year than they did on food, clothing and housing … combined.

Yet while that might seem excessive, it’s nothing compared to the number of tax days endured by our fellow democracies over in the European Union.

Taxpayers in the United Kingdom, which Brexited from the EU last year, were on the hook until June 3. For Greece, the most debt-ridden country

in Europe, it only took until June 19, probably due to EU bailouts. In France – where work weeks last for 35 hours while vacations last for five weeks – the date was July 29.

Still, that’s nothing compared to Belgium, where only about half the population legally works. In 2015, your typical working Belgian had to labor until Aug. 6 to cover their tax debt.

So when is this year’s Tax Freedom Day? Wish I could tell you. But as of last Thursday, the people over at The Tax Foundation hadn’t figured it out yet. Still trying to calculate some last minute numbers, I was told.

Which, to my way of thinking, probably doesn’t bode well for the American working stiff in general, or for the Illinois working stiff in particular.

But that’s the cost of living in a democracy. Freedom isn’t free, but then again, neither is government. At least until sometime around May 10.

This year’s long national nightmare is almost over.

And which nightmare is that, you ask?

You know, the one that started in late January.

The one every American politician either reviles or embraces, depending on their political affiliation.

The one that every American voter, truth be told, is sick and tired of.

Still not sure? Here’s one last hint: it’s the one that begins with the letter “T” … … Ummm.

OK, wait.

Clearly there’s been some misunderstanding here.

The nightmare I’m referring to is taxes. As in the 2017 tax season, which started with the W-2 deadline on Jan. 31 and ends with the federal income tax deadline on April 18.

Well, that’s not really true.

Tuesday, April 18, is merely the day you’re required to file your taxes by. The traditional deadline was yesterday – April 15 – but rescheduled because it was a Saturday.

And Monday, April 17, is out of the question because, as everyone knows,

GIRLS TRACK & FIELD: JOLIET WEST TIGER INVITE

MAKING BIG STRIDES

Plainfield South first, Tigers third at Joliet West Invite

By CURT HERRON

cherron@shawmedia.com JOLIET – In order for a girls track and field squad to capture an invitational title, it must get contributions in many different areas, and that’s just what Plainfield South did in Saturday’s eight-team Joliet West Girls Tiger Invite.

Coach Janeen Carlberg’s Cougars won five events, collected points in 10 others and helped their cause by having multiple scorers in six events to claim first place with 128 points, which was 25 points ahead of runner-up Crete-Monee. Coach Sally Pagnusat’s Tigers beat Marian Catholic, 86.75-78, for third place.

South received wins from Miranda Cadwell in shot put (37 feet, 0.5 inches) and discus (107-10), Zoe Steppe in pole vault (8-6) and the 4x200-meter relay (1 minute, 46.07 seconds) while Lenae Ludy and Shelby Hibbler tied for first in high jump (5-1). The Cougars were second in the 4x100 (49.84) and 4x800 (10:31.46) relays and took third in the 4x400 (4:21.20) relay.

Greta Carlberg was second in the 1,600 (5:40.87) and third in the 800 (2:28.18), Jebrieyah McClellan took third in the 100 (12.51) and fifth in the 200 (26.42), and Daijah Brown placed second in the 400 (1:01.49).

“Our team is naturally talented, and we’re all very competitive,” Brown said. “Everything matters to us, like handoffs, the way we run and our form.

It’s very important to us because it helps us to come together as a team to work on each and every little thing.”

“I like that we all support each other, whether it’s hot or it’s really cold,” McClellan said. “Our distance

again,” Callahan said. “We are a family, and that is going away, but what we have done together, we will always remember.”

It wasn’t all wins for the seniors, but the drive to compete at a high level and make the most of the last opportunity in front of the home crowd was motivation on this night.

High jumper Riley Suplet placed fifth with a personal best of 5-1.

“This was a great day,” Suplet said. “I had the support of my family and my teammates, along with some great weather. To do your best at your last home meet is special. Knowing I can jump well gives me so much confidence going forward.”

Another personal best came from Danielle Stubner, as she placed fourth in the shot put with a throw of 35-4.

“With only one home meet, all the seniors wanted to make this special and make our mark,” Stubner said.

“We have to set an example for the underclassmen that they can achieve.

I have made so many great memories, from playing football to track and the special friends I have made at the school, this was all so fun.”

For West, Arianna Short won the 400 (1:01.47) while LaTaydra Thompson was first in the 100 hurdles (15.72) and second in the 300 hurdles (50.54).

Also on the track, Ashley Lang was third in the 3,200 (12:54.83), Daiyana Young was fourth in the 100 hurdles (16.85), and Tia Dillon took fifth in the 400 (1:04.38).

The 4x100 (50.08), 4x200 (1:50.61) and 4x400 (4:24.99) relays all took fourth.

“The coaches are really involved in our workouts, and our teammates are really dedicated,” Short said.

“We have a lot of fun at practice, and at every single meet we work hard to have better performances. We’ve made big progress from our freshman season.”

“The coaches have put in a lot of hard work for our practices to make us the best that we can be, and we’ve seen that in meets,” Dillon said. “We always try our best, and when someone’s down, our team pushes us to go harder.”

In the field, Kiara Johnson was fourth in triple jump (33-7) and fifth in high jump (4-9). Corrie Marshall was

in the 800 with a season-best time of 2:28.33, summed up the feelings from most.

“I really can’t put into words the relationships I’ve made because of track,” Mondrella said. “Even when I’m having a bad day, it always puts me in a better mood when I come to practice or get ready for a meet.

“I was pretty emotional today, knowing this was the last home event we would have. Someone asked me about it during my first class and I started to tear up. It goes by way too fast.”

Plainfield South had four champions, as Daijah Brown won the 400 (58.56) and then ran a fantastic anchor leg of the 4x400 relay to bring home the win (4:07.67). She was joined

by Trinity Allen, Yanni Hilton and Vivica Phillips on the relay.

“I didn’t feel like I was going that fast,” Brown said. “That is good, and it’s my best time this outdoor season.

I feel great knowing where I’m at with my training and where the season is at this time.”

Also taking fourths were Aaliyah Robinson in pole vault (7-0) and Ruby

Williams in discus (89-7).

“What I really love about our team is that even when some athletes are down, we tell them that it’s OK and to look at it as practice makes perfect,” Williams said. “For our school, we’re breaking records, or getting close to it,

in almost every meet.”

MINOOKA – The Minooka girls track and field team hosted its annual invitational Thursday night.

It also was senior night, as this was the only home meet for the Indians this season.

The tradition of success, built by coach Kevin Gummerson, continued as Minooka won for the sixth consecutive year, scoring 157 points in outdistancing Metea Valley by 20 points (137). Plainfield South was third with 125, and Lincoln-Way Central finished fifth with 68 in the eight-team meet.

The last time competing on the home track brought sentimental feelings for some of the seniors.

Brooklyn Bachmann, the threesport athlete and The Herald-News Girls Basketball Player of the Year, won the pole vault with a jump of 9 feet, 6 inches.

“This is so bittersweet,” Bachmann said. “I’m excited for college, but I’m big on my school, team and community.

“Tonight means a lot. This is the

last time I ever get to compete at Minooka High School. [The late] Mark Smith was my coach, and he meant so much to everyone here, and my goal is to make it to state again in the pole vault and try and win it for him.

I strained my hamstring on Tuesday, so the pole vault was the only event I competed in tonight.”

The Indians’ Ashley Tutt, the much-decorated all-stater in both track and cross country, won the 800-meter (2:19.12) and anchored the winning 4x800 relay in a meet-record time of 9:46.70. She was joined on the relay by Emily Shelton (who also won the 1,600 in 5:19.92), Vivian Van Eck and fellow senior Gwen Bames.

“I thought about this a little today, but I didn’t want to dwell on it,” Tutt said. “It’s sad, and at the same time I’m so proud of what we have accomplished since my freshmen year in all sports. We won a state championship [in cross country] and have done so much on this track.”

Mackenzie Callahan won the 3,200 (11:05.21) and was part of the thirdplace 4x400 relay.

‘Strike Out Cancer Day’ another big success

By JEFF DEGRAW

Shaw Media correspondent LOCKPORT – They played the game for the name on the back of the jersey, even though the varsity score will read Minooka 6 Lockport 2.

But it was much more than just a baseball game Saturday at Ed Flink Field. It was the sixth annual “Strike Out Cancer Day” in honor of the Mark Staehely Pediatric Cancer Foundation.

This year, more than 1,100 people attended and $11,500 was raised, bringing the six-year total to more than $50,000.

Both attendance and money raised were the best in the history of the event. All the funds raised will go to the family assistance program of the Staehely Foundation.

“We use this money to help families with whatever they need,” said Sue Staehely, Mark’s mother. “It could be parking at the hospital, food for the families, gas for transportation. It’s not cheap to have someone sick and we are trying to do everything we can to help them.

“Words alone cannot express how grateful we are for this entire day. I wish there was no cancer, but Mark had such a positive attitude and effect on everyone, we want to always continue to help.”

All levels of the Porters and Indians

“I can’t say enough about the hundreds of volunteers who make this happen.”

Ray Staehely

father of Mark Staehely

played games on the varsity field starting at 10 a.m. Also included in this event were the softball teams from Lockport, Downers Grove South and Minooka.

In the valued tradition of this event, every player during the day, from the freshman level through varsity, wore a special jersey that had the name of someone they chose who had to deal with cancer.

Lockport (6-6) senior Matt Medina had the name “Grandma” on the back of his jersey.

“My grandma was diagnosed with leukemia a couple of years ago,” Medina said. “She is here tonight and has been my biggest supporter. She really got me into this game, and it’s so special to have her here and play this game for her.”

For the Indians (9-5), you saw many of the jerseys with the name of “Mark Smith” on their back. The tribute is to the former teacher/coach who died from cancer and was loved in the Mi-

nooka community.

Senior Grant Olsen had “Shawn Capodice” on his orange jersey.

“She passed away from cancer last year,” Olsen said. “She was a special person to many of my friends and family. This is a tribute to her, and tonight I play this game for her.

More than 100 parents volunteered and local businesses donated food for the all-day event.

Pam Strysik, from the Lockport baseball booster club and main organizer for the event, talked about what the day has come to mean for everyone involved.

“I had the opportunity to talk with Sue Staehely for over an hour on the phone,” Strysik said. “And after talking with Sue and learning so much about Mark, you really understand and appreciate why we do this. It’s a lot of work for everyone involved, but so worth it and so rewarding. We always strive to improve and make this event better every year. Developing the website with

all the information on this day has really helped.”

Minooka coach Jeff Petrovic said he thinks this day is special, especially since he had Mark in class.

“Mark was special,” Petrovic said.

“He was always so happy and so wellliked by everyone at Minooka. It’s also special because we get to see all of our levels play at one site. That never happens in baseball. It truly is a playoff atmosphere and something the lower levels really never get to experience during the season.

“Lockport does such a great job with this event, and we are so proud to be a part of it. This has created so many great memories over the years for all of our players and coaches.”

Ray Staehely, Mark’s father, talked about how special this entire event has become.

“I can’t say enough about the hundreds of volunteers who make this happen,” Ray Staehely said. “In today’s world it doesn’t happen very often that a fundraising event gets bigger and better every year. This is phenomenal.

“To see the class of these two programs, from the coaches to every level of player and the so many different names that they all play for is unbelievable. I know Mark looks down on this event every year, keeps his scorecard and has that big smile on his face.”

COLLEGE BASEBALL: TRINITY CHRISTIAN 5, ST. FRANCIS 2

By CURT HERRON

• Sunday, April 16, 2017

JOLIET – When a college baseball team experiences a successful run like the University of St. Francis has in the past month, there still are going to be a few bumps along the way.

Things couldn’t have gone much better for coach Brian Michalak’s Saints of late.

After losing the first game of a March 9 doubleheader, USF was 9-10. But after winning an extra-inning game April 9, it had gone 17-2 to improve to 26-12. That also gave it an 11-1 mark to lead the Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference’s South Division.

But it’s difficult to maintain that high level of success. After splitting a doubleheader with North Division leader Judson on Wednesday, the Saints lost a 5-2 home decision to Trinity Christian on Friday.

The good news for USF (27-14) is that even though it has dropped two of its past three to move to 12-3, it still owned a two-game lead in the division over Olivet Nazarene and Purdue Northwest, who both are 10-5, after Friday’s action.

Friday’s final score is a bit misleading.

Things were scoreless through six innings before Trinity (19-18, 7-8) put together four hits in the seventh, capped by a three-run homer to take control.

After the lead grew to 5-0 an inning later, the Saints scored runs in both the eighth and ninth and had the potential tying run at the plate when the contest ended.

Both teams had nine hits, and Trinity made three errors while USF had none.

The Saints had good chances early but couldn’t get a big hit when they needed one.

“The only negative was that we didn’t drive guys in,” Michalak said.

“I thought that we pitched well, and obviously, in one inning it got away.

Our pitching and defense were good, and we got guys on base and in scoring position. We’re disappointed with the result, but as for the game itself, I hope that we play that way again, with the addition of driving some runs in.

“We had a stretch on our southern trip where we lost the first five games and then had a little team meeting.

After that, we’ve gone on a little bit of a run where we played a little bit more consistent, and we’ve had some games where we’ve gotten behind

USF’s Nick Fleischauer throws to first after fielding a grounder during Friday’s game against Trinity Christian College hosted at Silver Cross Field. and came back. Our guys are good in practice, and they work hard. They don’t try to do too much, they just try play the game and understand if you keep the game simple, then good things should happen.”

For six innings, it was a good pitchers’ duel between the Saints Michael Quiram (5-3) and Trinity’s Tanner Reklaitis (3-1).

Quiram, who retired the first 11 men he faced, allowed just three singles through the first six frames, but the Trolls put together three singles and then Luke Weston hit a threerun blast to left to make it a 4-0 game.

Austin Mendell, Kyle Massaro and Anthony Powers pitched the final 22/3 innings.

“Our whole team has been stepping up through conference especially, since those are the games that matter the most,” Mendell said. “It’s good to see everybody coming togeth-

er and performing at a higher level.

It’s always nice to know that if our pitching is going sour, we have people in the field and also our hitters who can back us up. I like our team chemistry. Everybody works well together, and we all compliment each other.”

After Trinity went up, 5-0, USF finally scored in the bottom of the eight when Kevin Mampe (2 for 5) hit a solo blast to left, his second of the season.

Reklaitis exited after eight, and in the ninth, Dan Darling and CJ Duffek got one-out singles and a run scored on an error before reliever Zack Jones collected the final out to record the save.

“We’re coming together as a team and are starting to mesh really well, and lately we’re getting into a groove,” Darling said. “We’re battling every day, and when we get to the plate, we’re seeing deep counts

and we’re jumping on the ones that we need to. And our starters and relievers are battling and are out there hitting their spots. We’re like a family. With us spending so much time together, we’re going to win together and lose together.”

Center fielder Kyle Burton, who went 2 for 5 and leads the Saints in hitting, said he likes the makeup of this year’s squad and expects them to keep performing at a high level.

“I have to give all of the credit to this group of guys,” Burton said.

“We’re all well-connected, and that helps a lot when you’re on the field because there’s so much trust out there. We have trust throwing to our cut-off man, in our pitchers throwing strikes and with batters putting the ball in play. Out of my four years, this is one of the deepest teams that we’ve had. Everything is working right now, so we just want to keep that up.”

36 PREP BASEBALL: MINOOKA 3, JOLIET CENTRAL 0

Indians’ Shepherd outduels McNair

By DICK GOSS

dgoss@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Jackson Shepherd is a good outfielder and bats in a prominent spot in the Minooka lineup.

However, never underestimate what he can contribute on the mound, either.

Shepherd pitched a four-hitter, and if not for a two-out error followed by a single in the seventh inning, he would have retired the final 14 batters Friday morning in a 3-0 Southwest Prairie Conference victory over Joliet Central.

“We needed that, we had been struggling the last couple of days,” said Minooka coach Jeff Petrovic, whose team snapped a three-game losing streak in improving to 8-5 overall and 2-1 in the Southwest Prairie Conference. “Jackson threw really, really well. The thing I like about him is he does not hurt himself. He doesn’t walk or hit batters. He competes in the strike zone.”

Shepherd struck out seven, walked one and threw 84 pitches in going the seven-inning distance.

“Jackson Shepherd is a good athlete and a good pitcher,” Central coach Kevin Fitzgerald said. “He throws three

pitches for strikes. He did a good job messing up our timing.”

Shepherd had to be sharp because senior right-hander JoJo McNair was nearly as good for Central (5-8-2, 0-3).

The Indians reached McNair for two first-inning runs. Hayden Laczynski singled, and after the next two batters were retired, Logan O’Brien doubled to deep right-center field and Cherokee Lebeau lined a single to center to knock in the two runs.

“It was big that we got the lead early and let Jackson [Shepherd] get to work from there,” Lebeau said. “He did a great job with us getting runs on the board early.”

“I was trying to get a feel for the mound in the first inning,” McNair said. “That’s the first time I pitched this season on that mound, and it’s different than anything I’ve been on before. I was missing my spots early. After that, I felt good.”

The only Minooka hit from the second through sixth innings was Nick Airola’s single in the fourth.

“Sometimes getting a big two-out hit early like we did can be a double-edged sword,” Petrovic said. “It felt like we re-

laxed and almost got complacent at the plate after we got that lead.”

Airola cracked his second straight single with one out in the seventh.

Deston Martin walked, and Seth Gutknecht singled home a run to make it 3-0.

Laczynski, a left-handed hitter, then pulled a shot off the high fence behind the football bleachers in right field.

Right fielder Ryan King got the ball back into the infield in a hurry, and the Indians were left with the bases loaded. McNair retired the next two hitters with no further damage, with Jon Butler’s long fly to right ending the inning.

“Walking the 8-hitter [Martin] that inning hurt us,” Fitzgerald said. “They barreled up a lot of balls, had a lot of hard outs, but for the most part, JoJo threw strikes and did a good job.”

Indeed, batters on both sides hit balls well that went for outs in Central’s spacious outfield.

“The field helped me, and the big fence in right helped me,” said McNair, who struck out one and allowed seven hits in all. “They only got the one run that last inning.”

“There’s no doubt there would have been some balls going out on both sides

if we had played at our place today,” Shepherd said. Game 2 of the series is scheduled for Monday at Minooka.

“That big lefty in their lineup, Ryan King, he can hit,” Shepherd continued, maybe also remembering the two-run homer King blasted off him in the WJOL Tournament in a game Minooka won, 9-3. “I got him [strikeout] the first time today, but then he hit two balls hard.”

“Shepherd did his job; kudos to him,” Fitzgerald said, then added with a smile, “I hope he threw enough that he will not be able to pitch Monday.”

Central threatened to get one run back in the bottom of the third inning when McNair singled with one out. He stole second and advanced to third on a pitch in the dirt. But Shepherd got a called third strike and groundout on the next two hitters, and the Steelmen did not have another baserunner until two were out in seventh.

“When JoJo gets on the basepaths, he is a force,” Fitzgerald said. “He gets on, and he’s a game-changer for us. It hurt that we took a third strike when he was on third with one out.”

Connor Lawson had two of Central’s four hits.

VIEWS Dick Goss bahce-UMMC Ekaterinburg semifinal could come down to a duel between guards Taurasi and Quigley, so talented are both teams on the frontline. Quigley would tell you it was not a matter of how she played, but the fact remains, Fenerbahce – not Ekaterinburg – will face Russian team Dynamo Kursk in the championship game Sunday morning.

In another Final Four preview story, Quigley was referred to as Fenerbahce’s “X-factor, a game-winner in waiting,” because of her ability to shoot from outside.

In the quarterfinals of the tournament, an 87-80 win over Perfumarias Avenida, Quigley hit 10 of 14 shots and scored 28 points. She also had eight assists and three steals. Then, against Ekaterinburg, she hit 7 of 16 shots and scored 15 of her 17 points in the second half, including a huge 3-pointer down the stretch.

A two-time WNBA Sixth Woman of the Year, Quigley averaged 14.7 points, shooting 43.3 percent from

the field and 87.2 percent from the free-throw line, in 18 Euroleague games this season. Now she will play for the big prize.

AROUND THE DIAMOND

The story coming from Plainfield South’s 3-0 baseball victory over Joliet West last Thursday, of course, was Konnor Ash’s no-hitter that was oh-so-close to being a perfect game.

It wasn’t all Ash, however. The Cougars played excellent defense behind him, and that was without two regular outfielders. Left fielder Antonio Gutierrez is out with an injury, and center fielder Marco Escobar has a hockey life to pursue.

“The Philadelphia Flyers flew Escobar out east for the tryouts for their junior team,” South coach Phil Bodine noted. “We’re without him this week.”

• While Division I pitchers Ash and Austin Marozas are the big names on the Cougars’ staff, senior right-hander Jordan Mikel is no slouch, either.

“Jordan is 3-0 with a 0.00 ERA,” Bodine said after the West game.

“He’s kind of the forgotten man on our staff, but he’s very good, too.”

• Minooka snapped a three-game losing streak Friday when senior right-hander Jackson Shepherd pitched the Indians past Joliet Central, 3-0. Even with the victory, the Minooka batters did not get rewarded for many of the balls they hit hard.

“It’s baseball, that’s what happens sometimes,” said Indians third baseman Cherokee Lebeau, whose two-run single in the first inning was the big hit in the game. “That’s how baseball works. But we’re competing, that’s what’s important.”

• Joliet Central is 5-8-2 overall and 0-3 in the SPC. Steelmen coach Kevin Fitzgerald said the emphasis remains on “getting our guys to be more consistent. But overall, they have bought into what we are telling them, and they are holding themselves accountable, so we’re happy with that.”

Allie Quigley is playing some of her best basketball at a perfect time.

The Joliet Catholic Academy graduate, whose WNBA season with the Sky will be starting soon, has been huge for her Fenerbahce team out of Istanbul, Turkey, as it competes in the prestigious Euroleague Tournament.

In fact, Fenerbahce upset defending champion and favored UMMC Ekaterinburg, 70-61, Friday in the semifinals. Ekaterinburg, with a roster that includes familiar names such as Diana Taurasi, Brittney Griner, Kristi Toliver, Emma Meeseman and Sancho Lyttle, was playing at home and was picked to win the tournament by many experts who were polled.

Fenerbahce had a coaching change after it lost to Galatasaray in the Turkish League playoffs earlier this month, and a concern was how the players would respond to the new coach, Firat Okul.

Of course, late in the season Fenerbahce added Candace Parker, a Naperville native whose father, Larry, starred at Joliet West and played at Iowa. That has made a difference.

38 PIRATES 8, CUBS 7

Pair of 4-run leads disappear in defeat

By BRUCE MILES

bmiles@dailyherald.com Summertime returned to Wrigley Field on Saturday.

That meant short sleeves and shorts in the stands and flags flapping out toward center field on the ballpark roof.

It also meant fly balls flying out of the place.

Even though he’s a Florida guy, Cubs manager Joe Maddon professes to liking the Wrigley Field that plays bigger, even though the trade-off can be a cold and biting wind.

Maddon’s Cubs ran out to a 4-0 lead against the Pittsburgh Pirates in the first inning and eventually let a 6-2 lead get away as the visitors came away with an 8-7 victory.

“Wow, yeah, just two different fields, isn’t it?” said Maddon, whose team lost its second in a row to fall to 6-5. “They got more balls in the air than we did, and that’s pretty much the tale of the game. That’s why I prefer the ‘other Wrigley Field.’ I’d much rather pitching-and-defense Wrigley than the offensive Wrigley.”

The Cubs got a booming two-run homer from Kris Bryant off the videoboard in left-center field in the four-

run first. Bryant added a solo homer in the ninth to make it a one-run game.

But the Pirates picked up four homers, two off starting pitcher Jake Arrieta and one apiece off relievers Brian Duensing and Pedro Strop, who has a 9.00 ERA. Arrieta did his best to contain the Pirates as he went 52/3 innings, giving up five hits and three runs. He allowed a homer to Francisco Cervelli in the second and one to Starling Marte to start the sixth.

There’s certainly no panic with the Cubs. They won their first three series of the season but will lose this one.

But they will be compared to last year’s world-championship team, which ran out to an epic 25-6 start to the season.

“I think our division’s going to be competitive,” Bryant said. “The Brewers and Reds, obviously, are doing a lot better this year. Everybody just wants to write them off, but they’re very competitive teams, and obviously, the Cardinals always play us tough. The Pirates, too. I think it’s going to be a battle to the end, but we’re not really worried about how we started off last year compared to this year. Last year was kind of a fairy tale year for us. It’s

not always going to be like that, so it’s important to realize that early on so we’re not hitting that panic button like we did around the All-Star break last year.”

Arrieta said it’s a matter of framing the issue.

“It depends on the questions you guys ask, I guess,” he said. “It doesn’t matter to us. We won the World Series last year, so there will be questions.

But that’s just natural. That comes with the territory. It’s a business of re-

sults. We still expect really good results from the group we have this year.”

Of course, Maddon is going to paint a picture as warm and sunny as Saturday’s summerlike landscape.

“It’s crazy,” he said. “We could be almost 10- or 11-0 right now with just a knock or two here or there. We’ve actually played pretty well. The games haven’t been bad. And that’s the laser-thin line between winning and losing, man.

It’s just been that close. Every game has been kind of like today’s game.”

TWINS 6, WHITE SOX 0

Santana hot, Quintana not as 3-game winning streak ends

By DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN dvanschouwen@suntimes.com

MINNEAPOLIS – The “trade Jose Quintana now” rally criers of the offseason and spring training said “I told you so” Saturday after the White Sox ace left-hander got clobbered for five runs in the first inning of a 6-0 loss to the Twins at Target Field.

As blue chips stocks go, Quintana’s appeared to be plummeting by the atbat during a barrage of hits during the first inning. The Twins peppered the Sox All-Star lefty with a double-single-double-single flurry and carried on with a total of six hits, sending 11 batters to the plate.

It was 5-0 after one, more than plenty for Twins right-hander Ervin Santana, who improved to 3-0 with a dazzling one-hit shutout.

Quintana, to his credit, regrouped as he has done numerous times after a bad inning and did not allow a run after that, finishing with 52/3 innings of work.

“He left some pitches early that were

very hittable,” manager Rick Renteria said.

“But once he got through the first, he settled in, started hitting his spots and mixing the secondary pitches better. But all in all, like I told the guys, he gave us a chance.”

Renteria seemed to be saying that his pitcher didn’t cave in to the score so his hitters shouldn’t, either.

“Honestly. You have nine innings,” he said. “They score five early, I get it, but we had [eight] innings left of baseball to come back and try to chip away.”

That was rough sledding against Santana, who owns an all-world ERA of 0.41 after holding the Royals to two hits over seven innings, the Sox to two hits over six and then the Sox again to one hit over nine.

Santana walked one and gave up a line single to Omar Narvaez in the third. He retired the last 18 Sox hitters he faced after walking Avisail Garcia, who went hitless for the first time this season.

“We weren’t able to really get

comfortable in the box, and he did it throughout the whole game,” said Sox shortstop Tim Anderson, who went 0 for 4 to drop his average to .140. “He does the same thing every time we face him. We just haven’t made the adjustment.”

Quintana had entered at 0-2 with a 6.17 ERA, a start that caught most by surprise after his five straight seasons of consistently good starts and dominating performance in the World Baseball Classic and spring training outings this spring. All of which, coupled with the Sox front office’s designs on rebuilding, made him the most talked about trade piece during the offseason and spring.

Quintana gave up six runs over 51/3 against the Tigers in the season opener and then held the Twins to two runs over 61/3 in a that’s-more-like-it outing at Guaranteed Rate Field last Sunday.

Throw in Saturday’s performance, and you have low marks for the thing – consistency – that has been his forte throughout his career.

Quintana said he slowed his tempo

after the first inning and was happy to have regrouped and limited the damage, but it was too late.

“Too many runs in the first inning,” he said. “That changed the game.’’

“But I learned that today. It’s a confidence in me. I know that I started a little slow, but that happens.”

The Sox are 5-5 and not worse because of pitching that ranked first in ERA in the American League going in.

Oddly enough, Quintana has been the weakest link in the early going with starters Derek Holland (1.50 ERA in two outings), James Shields (1.69 ERA in two), Dylan Covey (1.69 in one) and Miguel Gonzalez (4.22 in two) carrying the freight in the starting rotation.

It’s early. Past performance charts say those numbers will even out, with Quintana’s rising to the top.

The Sox are banking on that to happen, for the sake of a current rotation that is without Carlos Rodon for who knows how long as well as their portfolio of trade chips as they build for the future.

BULLS

Butler ready to win no matter where it happens

By JOE COWLEY

jcowley@suntimes.com The last 10 regular-season games should be proof enough.

Then again, this is a Bulls front office that doesn’t always see what’s right in front of them, doesn’t always appreciate what they truly have.

Jimmy Butler’s personal crusade to will this organization back to the postseason the last three weeks went beyond numbers. Not that the numbers weren’t ridiculous.

All Butler did in the 7-3 push to grab the No. 8 spot in the Eastern Conference was average 27.3 points, 6.8 assists and 6.1 rebounds a game, while shooting 51 percent from the field.

But it was also the way Butler made everyone else around him better, more confident.

Yet come June and the NBA Draft, there will most certainly be Butler once again, a trade rumor, dangled by

a front office that seems bent on using an elite player to acquire unknown assets rather than the tougher path of building around a top-10 talent.

“I’m just playing basketball,” Butler said, when asked if he felt he’s made his case with the organization the last few weeks that he needs to stay put. “I don’t make those decisions. I do what I would do for anybody, and that’s to play hard, to help win. I always leave it at that.

“Whatever happens, happens, man, but right now I want to win. I want to win in these playoffs for this organization, and then whenever that time comes we’ll handle that then.”

He will handle it. Bet on that.

While Butler has been guarded about discussing this pending offseason lately, multiple sources have made it clear that the three-time AllStar wants a sit-down with both general manager Gar Forman and VP of basketball operations John Paxson when this playoff run does end, and

he wants answers.

“He wants to stay in Chicago, no doubt,” a source told the Sun-Times.

“But he also wants to win.”

The perfect solution? Winning in Chicago.

That means a front office willing to get its hands dirty this offseason, not only resisting trading a 27-year-old who continues to get better every season, but hoping Dwyane Wade opts back in, and then helping their two big-name players recruit freely with their blessing and their checkbook.

The lazier path would be moving Butler, drafting youth and disguising what is actually an attempt to extend their shelf life on the job under yet another rebuild.

Maybe that’s why this first-round playoff showdown with Boston is so important for the sixth-year player.

Not only will Butler have the chance to continue showing his own front office that he is a centerpiece to be built around, but at the same time

he also could persuade the Celtics to go after him in a trade with much more aggressiveness than they did last June.

If the Bulls are indeed focused in on a straight rebuild then Boston wouldn’t be a bad consolation prize for Butler to relocate. Great front office, great coach, championship pedigree, and a team looking to dethrone the King, LeBron James, and the grip he’s held on the Eastern Conference for the last decade.

Butler’s hope, however, is that his front office knows better than that.

Fair or unfair, he’ll have another chance to make his case in this series for possibly two teams.

“This is why you really play,” Butler said of playing his best basketball on this big stage. “Yeah, you love to go through the regular season, but when you get into the playoffs anything can happen. It’s all about just playing the best basketball at the right time.”

CHICAGO – Pekka Rinne made 30 saves in his second straight shutout and picked up two assists, helping the Nashville Predators pound the Blackhawks, 5-0, Saturday night for a 2-0 lead in their first-round playoff series.

Ryan Johansen had a goal and two assists as Nashville added a dominant performance to its taut 1-0 victory in Game 1 on Thursday night.

Ryan Ellis, Harry Zolnierczyk, Colton Sissons and Kevin Fiala each scored their first career playoff goal.

Game 3 is Monday night in Nashville.

Hawks coach Joel Quenneville shuffled his lineup, inserting rookie Vinnie Hinostroza and Dennis Rasmussen and benching veteran Jordin Tootoo and John Hayden. But it was more of the same for the Hawks, who once again looked out of sync against the Predators’ active defense.

But this one was all Nashville, right from the start.

Ellis’ shot from the high slot was blocked by a sliding Panik, but the defenseman tried again and drove it by Corey Crawford for a 1-0 lead at 3:44.

Viktor Arvidsson, who scored the only goal in Game 1, provided a perfect screen on the play, with Ellis’ shot going between his legs on the way to the net.

Robinson statue unveiled on anniversary

By STEVE DILBECK The Associated Press

LOS ANGELES – A bronze statue of Jackie Robinson stealing home was unveiled at Dodger Stadium on Saturday, an idea stemming from a meeting shortly after the team’s new ownership took control in 2012.

Dodgers chairman Mark Walter had just met Robinson’s wife, Rachel, when he rose and approached her.

“He pulled Mrs. Robinson aside and said, ‘We’re going to get a statue of your husband,’ ” team co-owner Magic Johnson said. “And he backed it up.”

It’s the first statue at Dodger Stadium, and its unveiling came on the 70th anniversary of Robinson breaking baseball’s color barrier. Baseball celebrates Jackie Robinson Day every April 15, when all players and coaches wear his No. 42.

“Every advancement in society has come from people standing on the shoulders of giants,” Dodgers President Stan Kasten said. “And in the history of baseball, in the history of our

country, few people have stood taller than Jackie Robinson.”

A pregame ceremony included Frank Robinson, baseball’s first black manager; Dodgers Hall of Fame announcer Vin Scully; Robinson’s children Sharon and David; Kasten and Johnson.

Rachel Robinson, 94, also was in attendance, as was Robinson’s former teammates Sandy Koufax, Don Newcombe and Tommy Lasorda.

“This was a great moment for all Dodger fans, for baseball fans,” Johnson said. “I’m just happy. I’m bubbling over.

“It’s funny, I’m more happy because of his statue than the two I got (Staples Center, Michigan State).”

David Robinson was born in 1952, too young to grasp his father’s effect as a child, but he said he understands it clearly now.

“Baseball really has achieved a coming together of people over the 70 AP photo years and continuing that great impact A bronze statue of Dodgers great Jackie Robinson is unveiled outside Dodger Stadium on society,” David Robinson said.

Branly Cadet sculpted the statue.

Saturday in Los Angeles.

NBA PLAYOFFS ROUNDUP

SENATORS 4, BRUINS 3 (OT)

LeBron, Cavs edge Pacers Phaneuf’s tally ties series The ASSOCIATED PRESS CLEVELAND – LeBron James scored 32 points and Cleveland, looking to flip a switch after a shaky-and-streaky regular season, began the postseason by escaping with a 109-108 victory over the Indiana Pacers on Saturday.

C.J. Miles could have won it for Indiana, but a player whom Cleveland’s players and coaches call a “Cavs killer” missed a 14-foot jumper just before the horn.

Playing in his 200th playoff game, James added 13 assists and six rebounds while winning his 18th consecutive first-round game.

However, it was anything but easy as the Cavs, who had a 10-point lead in the fourth quarter, had to withstand a strong comeback by the Pacers.

After a foul, Indiana inbounded with 10 seconds left and tried to run a play for star Paul George. But James came over to help J.R. Smith and double-teamed George, who was forced to pass to Miles.

His jumper was on line but short, and the Cavs avoided a disastrous loss.

Bucks 97, Raptors 83: At Toronto, Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 28 points,

rookie Malcolm Brogdon had 16 and the Bucks beat the Raptors in Game 1 of the first-round playoff series.

Playing his second career playoff series, Antetekounmpo made 13 of 18 shots, and added eight rebounds and three assists.

Greg Monroe had 14 points and 15 rebounds for the Bucks, Tony Snell scored 11, and Khris Middleton finished with 10 points and nine assists.

Toronto’s Kyle Lowry made only two of 11 field-goal attempts, missing all six 3-point efforts, and finished with four points.

Spurs 111, Grizzlies 82: At San Antonio, Kawhi Leonard matched his postseason high with 32 points and the San Antonio Spurs rolled to a victory over the Memphis Grizzlies in Game 1 of the first-round playoff series.

LaMarcus Aldridge had 20 points, and Tony Parker added 18 to help San Antonio win its ninth straight over Memphis in the postseason.

Marc Gasol had 32 points, but only seven in the second half as the Grizzlies fell behind by as many as 36 points.

Mike Conley was the only other Grizzlies player in double figures, finishing with 13.

The ASSOCIATED PRESS OTTAWA, Ontario – Dion Phaneuf waited a long time for this moment.

Phaneuf set up two goals before scoring at 1:59 of overtime and the Ottawa Senators rallied past the Boston Bruins, 4-3, on Saturday The Senators tied their Eastern Conference quarterfinal series, 1-1, and Game 3 is Monday night in Boston.

Phaneuf, a 12-year veteran, scored the winner from the point as Alex Burrows provided a screen.

“It feels great to do it here in front of our fans, it’s just incredible,” Phaneuf said. “I’ve played a long time and this is my first overtime winner and it feels great. I tried to get as much on it and luckily it found a way through.”

Clarke MacArthur, Chris Wideman and Derick Brassard also scored for the Senators and Craig Anderson made 26 saves.

Drew Stafford, Tim Schaller and Patrice Bergeron scored for the Bruins. Tuukka Rask stopped 25 shots.

The Senators had rallied from a 3-1 deficit with a two-goal third period to

force overtime.

Ottawa scored twice in a span of 2:20 to tie the game.

“It’s disappointing. Generally we’re pretty good at closing out games,” Bruins coach Bruce Cassidy said.

Wideman made it 3-2 with a shot from the point and Brassard, off a great pass from Erik Karlsson, tied the game at 7:48 on a one-timer.

“The second period we didn’t really come out the way that we wanted and we needed a response and I think that we definitely gave them that in the third,” Karlsson said.

“That’s the way that we’re going to have to play if we’re going to beat these guys. They’re not going to give up. They’re a good team even if though they’re battling some injuries.

“It was definitely nice that we responded the way that we did.”

The Bruins anticipated a push back from the Senators, but were disappointed at letting the two-goal lead slip away.

“You don’t want to put your foot off the gas there, you want to keep at it and not really change anything,” Stafford said.

HOT SPRINGS, Ark. – Two-year-old champion Classic Empire recovered from a poor performance his last time out and locked up a Kentucky Derby bid Saturday with a come-from-wellbehind win in the $1 million Arkansas Derby at Oaklawn Park.

“He just has so much ability,” trainer Mark Casse said. “I wasn’t sure he was going to get there. I was afraid that maybe late he’d get tired, but it was exciting. I’ll never forget it.”

Malagacy lost for the first time, finishing fifth, but the points he picked up last month in the Rebel Stakes are enough to send him to Churchill Downs, too. Conquest Mo Money, which broke fast but couldn’t hold off Classic Empire in the final 16th-mile, could be Kentucky-bound if his owners put up a $200,000 supplemental fee.

Earlier Saturday, Senior Investment chased down West Coast in the final furlong to win the $200,000 Grade 3 Lexington by a head Saturday at Keeneland, but the 10 points he earned leaves him outside looking in for the May 6 Kentucky Derby. His win in the 11/16-mile race was his third in five starts, and his first graded stakes victory.

Classic Empire had finished third at February’s Holy Bull Stakes at Gulfstream Park, but well off the pace. He caught Conquest Mo Money just shy of the wire in the 11/8-mile Grade 1 race and won by a half-length. Lookin at Lee and Sonneteer finished third and fourth, but did not win enough qualify-

ing points to automatically be considered for the Kentucky Derby.

Steve Asmussen, the trainer of Lookin at Lee, said he would continue training the horse with the hope that it can be a Kentucky Derby entrant.

“He’s a tremendous horse. He just shows up. He’s sixth, 70 yards from the wire,” Asmussen said. “I mean, he never quits trying, and you’d love to see him rewarded for that effort.”

And even though his horse was chased down in the final yards, Miguel Hernandez said he was happy with Conquest Mo Money’s performance.

“Oh, my God. It’s so exciting,” he said. “I want to say, I said, ‘I got it. I got it. I got it.’

“Right by the three-quarter pole, I thought he was going to quit. He came back. I’m happy with the way he ran,” Hernandez said.

At the Lexington, running on two weeks’ rest didn’t bother Senior Investment, whose strong close so impressed trainer Ken McPeek that the distance almost seemed too short and the Kentucky Derby points reward too small for his horse, which had finished sixth in the Grade 2 Louisiana Derby at the Fair Grounds.

Lagging back entering the final turn, Senior Investment surged late and nipped West Coast by a head.

“He timed it right,” jockey Channing Hill said.

McPeek, meanwhile, wondered what Senior Investment could have done in a longer race if given the chance.

“I really felt like a mile and an eighth would have been great for him,” McPeek said.

‘Part of the total woman’ See history through hats at Lockport museum

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

LOCKPORT – Top hats, bonnets, floppy hats and hats made from the entire breast of a bird, feathers intact.

These and more are part of the exhibit of vintage hats and accessories at the Will County Historical Museum and Research Center in Lockport.

Styles range from the 19th century through the 1970s.

Susan Marbes, exhibit co-curator, said about 40 hats are in the spring and summer exhibit, which will be on display through August. The fall and winter exhibit also has about 40 hats.

These will be available for viewing through mid-November at least.

Why hats?

“I like hats,” Marbes said. “I didn’t grow up with hats, except for church.”

During the Will County Historical Museum and Research Center’s 35 years, people donated a variety of hats, clothes, accessories and even looms, Marbes said. So why not exhibit them so the community can enjoy them?

“People don’t wear hats nowadays except for utilitarian hats,” Marbes said. “These have more character and flair to them. How much hats meant to women – it was part of the total woman.”

Dating the hats by era was the biggest challenge. But longtime area resident and former teacher RoseMarie Devine helped out quite a bit, Marbes said.

“She remembered going to hat shops in Joliet,” Marbes said. “She’s an ex-teacher, so she’s very knowledgeable.”

The way to date a hat, Marbes learned, is by the brim. From the 1800s to the 1960s, the brims gradually shrunk, Marbes said. The older hats with the widest brims were the hardest to categorize, she added.

Cloche or flapper hats were popular in the 1920s and 1930s, although they made a reappearance in the 1960s.

Cloche hats are bell-shaped and have a brim, Marbes said. From the 1930s to the 1950s, brims gradually disappeared.

“I think hats were gone by the ’50s and then became playful things worn

by Janis Joplin and those who wanted to stand out,” Marbes said.

Hats draw the viewer’s gaze to the face, Marbes said, which is the role of hairstyles now.

“The hairdo replaced the hat,”

Marbes said.

It’s hard to know why men stopped wearing hats. A tall tale attributes it to John F. Kennedy, with the logic of, “If he doesn’t need to wear a hat, I don’t either,” Marbes said.

More likely, changes in transporta-

The less men walked to work – or walked from the train station to work – the less they relied on hats to keep them warm and dry, Marbes said.

“Now that I have a car, I don’t need a hat,” Marbes said.

MaryEllen Godinez co-curated the exhibit with Marbes. Volunteers Christine Creadon, Devine, Ralph Sporck and Sandy Vasko contributed.

“MaryEllen did all my accessorizing – the jewelry, the gloves to give it that

Mission Easter Hat: Seeking the perfect 1 in Joliet JOLIET – “In your Easter bonnet with all the frills upon it, you’ll be the grandest lady in the Easter parade.”

From the song “Easter Parade” by Irving Berlin.

Many of us my age (55) have them: Vintage Easter photos from childhood with us wearing our new hats and gloves.

Ah, the Easter hat or bonnet. From whence came the tradition, now fallen by the wayside? Even Shakespeare referenced it in “Romeo and Juliet” (“Did’st thou not fall out with a tailor for wearing his new doublet before Easter?”) although the common understanding seems to be that new Easter garb, including hats, was for women.

For tradition’s sake, I’m going with the assumption that a new Easter hat was just one more symbol of “new life” that encompassed Easter and springtime. Actually, I credit Herald-News News Editor Anna Schier with putting this “bee in my bonnet.”

Schier found out the Will County Historical Museum and Research Center in Lockport was hosting a vintage hat exhibit and suggested I write a story about it and give it a first-person spin.

Anyone who knows me knows I love hats (I also have a small collection of gloves to go with them, too, but I digress). I think it’s part of my love for vintage and costume-y things. I have exactly many hats, most of them given to me over the years.

Only once did I ever buy a new hat for Easter – in 1989. Our pastor’s wife also liked – and wore – a hat every Sunday. Gradually, many of the

It’s long gone.

With those concepts in mind, I decided it was time to buy a new hat for Easter.

So on Palm Sunday, Rebekah and I headed over to Louis Joliet Mall in Joliet with two missions: an Easter hat for me and an Easter purse for her (Rebekah doesn’t like hats, but she does love big purses).

The trip was successful for Rebekah and unsuccessful for me as I could not find anything “dressy” that matched my traditional Easter gown, a shimmery blue with pearl buttons.

And why is this a traditional Easter dress? An ex-friend once complimented my appearance in that dress, saying that I looked as if I’d been resurrected.

I wore the old hat this year, and Rebekah carried the new purse. The search continues.

Here I am, wearing “the one that got away.” I really liked this hat, but it didn’t complement my Easter dress.

The Chaney-Monge Teachers Organization has been raising funds throughout the school year.

Teachers Organization raises funds to give back to school The HERALD–NEWS CREST HILL – The Chaney-Monge Teachers Organization has been fundraising throughout the 2016-17 school year to give back to the school and their students.

Back in September, the teachers hosted a McTeacher’s Night with help from the local McDonald’s establishment on Broadway Street in Joliet. The staff raised over $900 in just three hours from selling pies that were donated by the restaurant and receiving a percentage of sales. The event drew a huge crowd and received positive feedback from all who attended and participated.

In November, the union held another event at Chipotle on Plainfield Road in Joliet. Again, the event was extremely successful. The restaurant donated 50 percent of sales made in a four-hour time slot to the Chaney-Monge Teachers Organization. Over $700 was raised.

Earlier in the school year, the teachers union voted to use funds raised to purchase an electronic circulation system for the school library. The students and staff are still using an old-fashioned card catalog to find books in the library and checking out books by hand.

The software for the program, a training program, bar code scanner, and bar code labels have already been purchased. The librarian has already started transitioning to the new system and plans to have the library updated and the new system up and running by the time the new school year begins in August.

A few more materials are still needed to complete the system, such as computer licenses for student use and a subscription to the support system; therefore, the Chaney-Monge Teachers Organization will be hold another McTeacher’s Night Fundraiser at the McDonalds at 1555N. Broadway St. in Joliet from 5 to 8 p.m.

ASK THE DOCTORS Elizabeth Ko and Eve Glazier walking aids, cortisone shots or medications, and pain and/or anti-inflammatory medications. Some people try supplements like glucosamine and chondroitin for pain relief. These and any other nutritional or herbal supplements always should be reported to your physician to guard against possible drug interactions.

Hip replacement surgery takes about one to two hours to perform. An orthopedic surgeon removes the diseased and damaged bone and cartilage and an artificial hip is implanted in its place. A prosthetic socket is implanted into the pelvic bone, and a prosthetic ball replaces the rounded top of the femur. Patients often are surprised when they’re asked to sit up and even take a few steps with a walker the day after surgery, which is to deal with the increased risk of blood clots.

After the surgery, patients must work with a physical therapist to rehabilitate the hip. They are given stretching, flexing and strengthening exercises, which they must continue to do on their own to assure the best recovery and results. They also must watch for potential complications like blood clots, infection, dislocation and a discrepancy in leg length.

Full recovery after hip replacement surgery takes three to six months. For the best chance of success, be scrupulous about rehab, and don’t try to do too much.

• 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.

• Sunday, April 16, 2017

Dear Doctor: I’m 55 years old and a former marathon runner. Now my right hip hurts all the time, not only when I walk but also when I’m lying down. I can’t even sleep on my right side any more. I was told I need a hip replacement. What does that entail?

Dear Reader: You’ve described several of the signs and symptoms that make discussing the option of a hip replacement with your doctor a good idea. The goal of the procedure is to address chronic hip pain, increase mobility, return patients to normal activities and restore quality of life. But before you go booking an O.R., let’s talk about the operation, as well as possible alternatives.

Hip replacement is a surgical procedure that replaces the diseased or damaged portions of the hip joint with an artificial joint, known as the prosthesis.

An estimated 332,000 individuals undergo hip replacement surgery in the United States each year. The surgery is most common among people with osteoarthritis, a degenerative disease that causes joint cartilage to wear away over time.

The hip joint becomes rough and ragged, and the ensuing friction causes both pain and stiffness. Rheumatoid arthritis, injury and fractures can also cause sufficient damage to merit a full replacement of the hip joint.

After documenting your symptoms, your doctor will order imaging tests, beginning with an X-ray, to get a detailed image of your hip joint. He or she will be looking for changes to the bone, signs of narrowing of the joint space and the formation of bone spurs. In some cases, an MRI or a CT scan may be ordered as well.

Before focusing on hip replacement as a solution, we help our patients explore other options for dealing with the pain and lack of mobility. These include physical therapy,

Give everyone chance to taste teachers’ potluck specialties Dear Abby: I have been a teacher for many years, and several times a year I encounter a dilemma I hope you can finally solve for me. When staff members get together for a potluck meal, is it bad manners to eat whatever dish you brought? When we have these meals, I always feel like I should eat my co-workers’ contributions and leave mine for others to enjoy.

My fiancée – who loves to cook – enjoys preparing things for me to contribute. She thinks I’m silly for not partaking of whatever she makes for me to bring, especially if it’s my favorite dessert.

We read your column every day, so we decided to ask you what’s the right way to handle this common social dilemma. – To Pie Or Not To Pie Dear To Pie Or Not To Pie: The consider-

Dear Abby: I am a young stay-at-home mom who loves to get out and meet people. I have a tendency to make friends with direct sales representatives. But once I have hosted a party or bought some of their merchandise to support them, I become a customer and the friendship ceases to exist. Is there a polite way to tell them I would rather not buy the product or host a party without losing their friendship? – Friendly In

Montana

NEIGHBOR

Dear Freindly: You have been confusing friendship with business. People who cozy up to others to get them to buy a product or host a party are salespeople, not friends. And no, there isn’t a “polite” way to tell someone like the folks you have described they haven’t made the sale and maintain a “friendship” that never was one in the first place. You might have better luck finding friends if you reached out to other young mothers for companionship.

Dear Abby: My husband and I have been married happily for more than 15 years. His former wife has never gotten over him. She has sent him many emails and text messages. He never responds.

Her most recent ploy was to sign up with an assortment of vendors to receive mail at our home. We also get phone calls from solicitors asking for her.

Although we live in the same city,

Volunteer.

this has never been her home. It goes without saying she needs to get over it and move on. I’m tempted to put “Forward to (her address)” on the mail, but I don’t want to egg her on. To me, it’s harassment, and possibly stalking. What do you think? – Had It With Her Dear Had It: Your husband’s former wife appears to have emotional problems, and I agree what she’s doing is a form of harassment. You certainly are within your rights to redirect any mail that’s addressed to her to her home.

Contact the post office to see what can be done. And if solicitors call, either give them her correct phone number or consider having your number changed to one that’s unlisted.

This week, we have had five sixheart contracts. Today’s deal might have been played in that contract, but at the 16 tables on bridgebase. com, the contract was four hearts 15 times and four spades once.

How should South play in six or seven hearts after West leads the club king?

The given auction was uniformly popular with the robots (computer-controlled opponents). I believe a human would have been more circumspect over two hearts. Agreed, it seems as though four hearts will be the right spot, but that prime 15-count has slam potential if South’s heart suit is robust. North might rebid three clubs. Here, South would continue with three spades. Then North could envision South’s holding queen-third of spades and ace-kingqueen-sixth of hearts, which would give a good play for seven hearts. If hearts are 3-2, you can handle a 4-1 spade break, but the converse is not necessarily true in seven spades.

In seven hearts, South should win the first trick with the club ace and immediately take a heart finesse.

Here, when it succeeds, declarer plays a spade to dummy’s king, repeats the finesse, draws trumps and cruises home.

One might well adopt the same line in six hearts, but there is a case for cashing the heart ace and king.

If the queen drops, great. If not, you hope the defender with the heart queen has three spades so that the club losers can disappear on the diamond ace and fourth spade. But here the 4-1 heart break kills that line.
