CHANNAHON TOWNSHIP

Murder suspect out of jail, girlfriend gets protection order

By BRIAN STANLEY

bstanley@shawmedia.com CHANNAHON TOWNSHIP – A Channahon Township woman has obtained an order of protection against her boyfriend, who allegedly killed her son last weekend.

James F. Hess, 65, has been charged with first-degree murder for the April 14 death of Nathan A. James F. Hofkamp. On Tuesday, Hess Hess posted 10 percent of his $1 million bond, but he will not be allowed to return to his girlfriend’s residence, where he had been living, in the 25000 block of Canal Road.

“Nathan [went] around the wall to get the gun away from Jim and Jim shot him.”

Hess then grabbed Kathy Hofkamp, who was trying to get to a phone to call 911. Once she was able to make the call, Hess went outside with the gun and eventually surrendered to police, she wrote.

Kathy Hofkamp wrote she moved in with Hess three years ago “to be his caregiver,” and they later became a couple.

“There have been many other instances of physical abuse ... also including a gun over the years,” she wrote to the court. “I fear for my life.”

Hess is not allowed within 1,000 feet of Hofkamp. He would be allowed to pick up his clothing and medication from the residence if law enforcement was present, according to the court order.

Joliet District 204 plans $1.2 million project for new Wi-Fi network

By FELIX SARVER

fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The Joliet Township High School District 204 Board has approved a $1.2 million project for network cabling districtwide.

In a 6-0 vote Tuesday, the board approved a bid from Peak Electric for a project that will install Ethernet and fiber cabling for classrooms, labs, offices and common areas for direct devices, cameras and wireless connections at Central, West and alternate schools. The project also will involve removing the existing network.

Board member R. Dale Evans was not in attendance, district spokeswoman Kristine Schlismann said in an email.

In a memo, Ilandus Hampton, assistant superintendent for business services, said the project will be the next step of the district’s strategy to upgrade its technology infrastructure.

WHERE IT’S AT

• Relevant information • Marketing Solutions • Community Advocates

Judge Fred Harvey granted an order of protection to Kathy Hofkamp, according to Will County court records.

On Friday, Nathan Hofkamp, 29, was released on parole from the Vienna Correctional Center, where he’d been serving time for 2016 convictions for theft and aggravated assault in Cook County. A small celebration was held that night at Kathy Hofkamp’s house.

“James wanted to go to sleep. We were all drinking,” Kathy Hofkamp wrote in her protection order request.

After Nathan Hofkamp said they’d move the party to the backyard, Hess went to the basement and fired three shots from a gun.

“Then he came up and aimed the gun at all three of us and said, ‘Now who’s not going to sleep?’ ’’ Kathy Hofkamp wrote.

A SIGN OF TROUBLE?

Central Grocers turns away questions about its financial condition

By BOB OKON

bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The closing of Ultra Foods is a sign of trouble at the grocery supply company that has its corporate headquarters in Joliet.

Central Grocers on Wednesday would not respond to questions about its future.

But sources said Central Grocers, which puts out the Centrella-brand food products seen on the shelves of many independent grocers, is pursuing alternative strategies for the company.

Central Grocers moved its corporate headquarters and food distribution

center to Joliet in 2009, a time when the company was looking for more space for an expanding business.

Central Grocers this week announced it is seeking a buyer for its Strack & Van Til supermarket chain, which includes Ultra Foods stores.

The company’s Ultra Foods store in Joliet is among nine that are closing by June 18. Meanwhile, a buyer is being sought for the other 22 stores in northwest Indiana and the Chicago region.

But the retail side of the business might not be the end of Central Grocers’ problems.

Central Grocers is a grocery co-op owned by its member stores, which include Berkot’s Super Foods, Tony’s

Finer Foods and other independent and regional grocers that operate in the Joliet area and other parts of the metropolitan market.

The company has been in business since 1917, is the seventh-largest grocery cooperative in the U.S., and supplies about 400 independent supermarket stores, according to its website.

Among the questions Central Grocers would not answer is whether it still is supplying 400 stores.

It recently is down at least two stores – the two Certified Warehouse Foods stores in Joliet that closed last week.

Ken Clymer, the owner of Certified, said Central Grocers’ failure to pay a

rebate to its members last year contributed to the financial problems that led to the closing of his stores.

Clymer said it was the first time he did not get the annual co-op rebate, which was used in past years to improve his stores and more recently to pay for operations.

At a stockholders meeting in November, Clymer said, he and other Central Grocers co-op members heard that the company sustained substantial losses last year, mostly from operations of the supermarket chain.

“I was shocked when I went to the meeting, and I saw the losses were so

Drug trailer asks parents to examine teens’ rooms

By BRIAN STANLEY

bstanley@shawmedia.com NEW LENOX – The inside of the 8-by-16-foot trailer is designed to look like the typical teenage boy’s bedroom.

“As lifelike as we could make it – including being messy,” Brian Kirk of the Heroin Epidemic Relief Organization said Wednesday.

The “Hidden In Plain Sight” trailer is designed to remind parents about hundreds of possible hiding spots for drugs and drug paraphernalia.

The trailer has a bed, dresser and desk. There are posters on the walls and hockey equipment tossed in the

corner. But colorful notes throughout the “room” ask observers to notice things such as the large number of water bottles on the dresser, screws missing from the vent and light switch, and why a teen who doesn’t play tennis would have tennis balls in the garbage can.

The trailer, which was unveiled Wednesday at an event at the New Lenox police station, will be taken to community events throughout Will County, where parents can look inside. HERO, Lincoln-Way Christian Church, the New Lenox Police Department and the Will County State’s Attorney’s Office each contributed $2,500 toward the trailer. The organizations decided to buy the trailer

after viewing a similar display last summer by Grundy County’s No Tolerance Task Force.

The police and state’s attorney’s office contributions came from seized drug funds.

“I thought it was a fantastic idea to take money from drug dealers and put it towards protecting your kids the drug dealers are trying to kill,” State’s Attorney James Glasgow said.

Glasgow said almost every day his staff learns of new products available online that appear innocuous but can be used to conceal drugs.

“Anything can be turned into a stash, really,” Glasgow said. “Parents have to understand [your kid’s room] is your bedroom. It’s your house. ...

Search it all you want.”

Although identifying drug use is the focus of the trailer, the display also shows signs of other teenage concerns such as alcohol use, cutting and risky sexual behavior. The computer on the desk isn’t necessarily a hiding place for drugs, but viewers may notice the draft of a suicide note on the screen.

“There are questions parents should ask themselves when they see these red flags. ‘What things don’t belong? Why are they keeping this?,’ ” said Paula Goodwin of the No Tolerance Task Force.

For information about bringing the trailer to a community event, call 708-557-8394.

Police: Romeoville man repeatedly punched Sycamore cop

By DREW ZIMMERMAN

dzimmerman@shawmedia.com DeKALB – A 26-year-old Romeoville man involved in a domestic dispute is facing battery charges after attacking a Sycamore police officer Tuesday at a gas station, police said.

Lt. Jim Burgh of the DeKalb Coun-

ty Sheriff’s Office said deputies were called at 2:43 p.m. to a domestic dispute between Robert Mills and his sister in the Kishwaukee Hospital parking lot.

Mills was at the hospital for a psychiatric evaluation, according to the sheriff’s office.

Sycamore Deputy Chief Jim Winters said Mills fled the lot, and police found

him at the Phillips 66 gas station at 2001 DeKalb Ave., where he punched an officer several times. He was arrested across the intersection at 3200 Bethany Road. Winters said the officer was treated for minor injuries.

Mills is charged with resisting a peace officer, domestic battery and aggravated battery of a police officer. The

most serious offense, aggravated battery of a police officer, is punishable by one to three years in prison.

He was being held at DeKalb County Jail and had a bond hearing Wednesday, Burgh said.

“Mills had no prior contacts with the county, meaning he had never been booked at the county jail,” Burgh said.

No bids on Laraway School

By BOB OKON

bokon@shawmedia.com No one put in a bid on Laraway School.

Laraway School District 70-C held a seven-week auction, taking bids on the school property starting at $5.75 million.

No one put in a bid by the Wednesday deadline.

The school board next week will consider a second auction and re-evaluate the minimum asking price, Laraway Superintendent Joe Salmieri said.

“We’ll discuss the parameters of the bid at the board meeting on Tuesday,” Salmieri said.

He called the lack of bids “a little disappointing” but said he was confident the school district would be able to sell the property.

“We think it’s a very appealing site, particularly for the zoning we’re seeking in the annexation,” Salmieri said.

District 70-C is in the process of an-

nexing the 40 acres on Laraway Road to the city of Joliet and having it zoned for light industrial use. The zoning would fit the warehouse and distribution development that has sprung up around the school, leading to the need for it to relocate.

The school lies along the path of a busy semitrailer route leading to and from CenterPoint Intermodal Center – Joliet.

CROATIAN

Construction of the new school was not contingent upon selling the old one.

If the school is not sold, it could affect some amenities, such as outdoor playing fields, planned for the new school, Salmieri said.

“It’s still early,” he said.

If the board agrees on a new auction next week, the next round could be completed by sometime in June, Salmieri said.

Voters in November approved a referendum allowing the school district to finance a new school under construction along Rowell Avenue. That school is scheduled to open in fall 2018.

Salmieri said the school district will consider a broader marketing strategy in the next auction and also will re-evaluate the minimum asking price. An appraisal for the school district valued the property at $5.5 million.

QUEEN SETS STARTING AT $

CREST HILL

By ANNA SCHIER

aschier@shawmedia.com CREST HILL – Crest Hill officials are prioritizing infrastructure improvements in the city’s recently approved surplus budget.

The City Council passed the budget for the coming fiscal year at its meeting Monday, Interim City Administrator Heather McGuire said.

All council members present voted in favor. Alderman Scott Dyke and Alderwoman Claudia Gazal were absent.

Crest Hill’s 2017-18 operating budget includes about $17.45 million in

revenue and about $16.4 million in expenditures, for a surplus of about $1.05 million, McGuire said Tuesday.

The city’s 2016-17 operating budget had a surplus of about $1.01 million.

“I’m proud of the fact that we have passed a balanced budget with a surplus for the last nine years,” Mayor Ray Soliman said Tuesday, adding the council’s goal with the 2017-18 budget was to improve the quality of life for residents.

Notable expenses in the budget include several infrastructure projects.

On Wilcox Street, water main replacement and road resurfacing are planned from Elsie Avenue to The-

odore Street, McGuire said. Engineering services for the project were approved by the council Monday as a separate agenda item, with all members present voting in favor. The work will be performed by Christopher B. Burke Engineering for $93,200. The replacement and resurfacing is expected to be complete by early 2018.

The newly passed budget also allots $350,000 in motor fuel tax funds for additional road resurfacing and $100,000 for crack filling, McGuire said. A street assessment will be done in the coming months to determine which areas are most in need of the improvements.

Additionally in the budget, storm sewers are set to be installed in the 1700 and 1800 blocks of Root Street in late 2017 or early 2018 to alleviate flooding, McGuire said.

Another $500,000 is budgeted to reduce stormwater inflow into manholes, McGuire said. Currently, because of the condition of the manholes, stormwater is being unnecessarily treated in the city’s sanitary sewers when it should be going into stormwater outlets, she said.

The budget also includes hiring an additional police officer, which will bring the department’s total officer count to 31.

Caterpillar announces headquarters will move to Deerfield DEERFIELD – Caterpillar Inc. has announced it is moving its corporate headquarters from Peoria to Deerfield.

In making the announcement Wednesday, Caterpillar CEO Jim Umpleby noted the Deerfield headquarters will be minutes from O’Hare In-

ternational Airport and a convenient rail ride to Chicago.

According to the announcement, the heavy equipment maker has reached a leasing agreement at a Deerfield office park and expects to move 100 employees there this year. About 300 people will be working at the new headquarters by mid-2018.

How to live with allergy eyes SPONSORED BY

By Diane Krieger Spivak If your eyes are itchy, red, burning and watery, you may have a condition known as allergy eyes, or allergic conjunctivitis.

It’s a common condition and often accompanies sneezing and sniffling, although the symptoms often mimic other eye conditions, so a visit to an ophthalmologist for a proper diagnosis is important.

According to the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology triggers can include outdoor allergens, such as pollens from grass, trees and weeds, indoor allergens like pet dander, dust mites and mold, and irritants like cigarette smoke, perfume and diesel exhaust.

Allergy eyes can be managed in several ways, adds ACAAI. Keep windows closed when the pollen count is high and use air conditioning in your home and car. Wear glasses or sunglasses outside to keep pollen out of your eyes. Use mite-proof bedding to limit exposure to dust mites, and a

dehumidifier to control mold. Wash your hands after petting any animal.

The American Academy of Ophthalmology advises washing your bedding frequently with hot water that is at least 130 degrees Fahrenheit, and when cleaning floors, use a damp mop or rag instead of a dry dust mop or broom to trap the allergens.

If your allergy eyes are brought on by your pet, try to keep animals outside as much as possible, and keep them outside your bedroom. Choose hard flooring instead of carpeting, which holds pet dander, and wash your hands after touching your pet.

Additionally, wash your clothing after being near your pet, and avoid rubbing your eyes, says AAO. There are a number of treatments available for allergy eyes, including artificial tears, decongestants, oral antihistamines, antihistamines with mast-cell stabilizers, corticosteroids and immunotherapy shots.

Always consult your ophthalmologist to determine the best treatment.

Advanced Eye Care 1870 Silver Cross Blvd New Lenox, IL 60451 815.485.2727 http://www.advancedeyecaresc.com

The company previously announced plans to build a new headquarters complex in Peoria. It cited “challenging market conditions” in canceling the plan.

The city of Joliet made a pitch this winter to Caterpillar as the company looked in the Chicago area for a new headquarters. Caterpillar has a plant

in Troy Township that has been operating since the 1950s and employed 660 after the company moved certain production lines to Mexico in 2015.

The move to Deerfield comes as the company faces a weak equipment market that has been cutting into its bottom line. It has been cutting jobs and facilities in the past several years.

10 PLAINFIELD

Police dept. has internet purchase exchange location “We’re doing this to help ensure the safety of the community.”

By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – The Plainfield Police Department parking lot is now an internet purchase exchange location.

The department designated two side-by-side parking spaces marked by a sign directly in front of the department building, at 14300 S. Coil Plus Drive in Plainfield, for residents to use as a safe location to exchange items sold via the internet. The area is well-lit and recorded by a high-resolution digital surveillance 24 hours a day, seven days a week, according to the department.

The initiative started from discussions on the Plainfield Village Board.

Police upgraded video surveillance equipment at the department building, and making it an exchange location was the smartest move, Sgt. Mike Fisher said.

“There are a lot of internet sales and programs out there,” Fisher said.

“It seems to be one of those things that’s progressing more and more.

We’re doing this to help ensure the safety of the community.”

The exchange location is open for

“There’s not a specific officer sitting behind the camera watching everyday,” Fisher said. “We want res-

idents to let family or friends know they’re making an exchange and to let them know when to expect them to return home.”

Fisher said if someone needs assistance at the exchange location, there is a call box to request help.

The department recommends using the exchange during daylight hours when the high-definition camera will work best.

In an event that an officer is needed, people should either go into the police department and request to speak with one or call dispatch for non-emergency situations and 911 for emergencies, a news release from the department stated.

If making internet-based transactions, Police Chief John Konopek recommends that you not make transactions alone and not go to someone’s home or invite them to yours.

Closures planned for 2 Joliet bridges The HERALD–NEWS JOLIET – The Jackson Street bridge downtown will be closed next week, and lanes will be partially closed on an Interstate 80 bridge until May 6.

The Illinois Department of Transportation this week announced the work on the two bridges crossing the Des Plaines River.

Both projects are scheduled to start Monday, depending on the weather, IDOT stated in news releases.

The Jackson Street bridge downtown will be closed until May 1 for mechanical and electrical repairs, IDOT stated.

However, work on the Joliet drawbridges at times have stretched beyond the schedule when more problems are discovered or custom-made replacement parts are needed.

The Brandon Road bridge was closed in late December for what was scheduled to be a one-month repair project.

The bridge did not reopen until March 21.

Closure of the downtown bridges typically has a major effect on travel in and

The Jackson Street bridge is part of a project to repair all six Joliet drawbridges over the Des Plaines River, IDOT stated. Jackson Street is the fifth bridge to be repaired in the past two years.

“The overall improvements will result in reliable and safe operation of the bridge, signal gates and traffic signals,” IDOT stated in the release.

JJC enters 3-year tax abatement agreement for Minooka hotel project

By FELIX SARVER

fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Joliet Junior College has entered a three-year tax abatement for a Marriott hotel project in Minooka.

The college’s board unanimously approved a request last week from the Grundy Economic Development Council to participate in a tax abatement for Minooka Hotel Association, the developer of the TownePlace Suites by Marriott in the village. When the proposal from GEDC first was made in February, it drew a question from Trustee Maureen Broderick about why the college would want to give an abatement to a company as established as Marriott.

Broderick said the proposal met her approval because the college was assured it would not lose a significant amount of tax dollars, and she met with Nancy Norton, GEDC president and CEO, to learn more details about the project.

“There’s protections for us that made us feel safer in nature, and [the project] will bring more income in the area,” she said.

Broderick said she’s not a fan of tax abatements and she, along with Trustee Alicia Morales, previously voted, 6-2, against one for United States Cold Storage in Minooka.

The GEDC offers a three-year prop-

Director Jim Trizna said.

The city does not maintain the drawbridges.

Bridge inspections will require daily lane closures during off-peak travel times on the I-80 bridge over the Des Plaines River.

Partial closures start Monday on westbound lanes. Inspections are scheduled to be switched to the eastbound lanes May 1.

At least two lanes will be open on the bridges during inspections, IDOT stated.

To minimize the effect on traffic, closures are planned from 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday. If needed, lanes also will close Saturday.

erty tax abatement to qualifying companies, which receive an abatement of 75 percent in the first tax year, 50 percent in the second year and 25 percent in the third year. The same will be offered to Minooka Hotel Association.

The hotel is slated to have 87 guest rooms in a newly constructed building at 600 Bob Blair Road in Minooka, with a total investment estimated at $10.1 million, according to the college’s summary of the proposal.

Energy center agreement

The board also approved authorizing an intergovernmental agreement with Grundy County, which has entered an agreement with Competitive Power Ventures for the development of a 1,100 megawatt natural gas-powered electric generating facility.

JJC is one of several taxing bodies affected by the development, which will be located in Goose Lake Township within Grundy County’s Economic Development Project Area No. 1.

EDPA zones in the county provide a mechanism for “significant tax relief” for new industrial investors and existing businesses, according to GEDC. The intergovernmental agreement will call for tax payments by CPV to be declared surplus by EDPA No. 1 for distribution back to taxing bodies, including JJC.

• GROCERY STORE CLOSES

Jon Springer

Supermarket News editor

Eric Ginnard – eginnard@shawmedia.com

A customer walks into Ultra Foods on Wednesday in Joliet. The store is among nine closing by June 18. markets where he shops.

“It’s this, Wal-Mart or Aldi,” Dreiling said.

Once Ultra closes, Dreiling said he will add Food 4 Less, located kitty-corner from Ultra, to his supermarket shopping list.

Jewel-Osco also is located at the Larkin Avenue and Theodore Street intersection that includes the Ultra Foods store. But other customers inter-

viewed in the Ultra Foods parking lot mentioned Wal-Mart as the next likely option for them.

“That’s terrible,” Kristie Jordan said when she learned that Ultra Foods is closing. “It’s bad for the community.

It doesn’t leave you anything else than Wal-Mart, and everybody doesn’t want

to shop at Wal-Mart.”

“I don’t like shopping at Wal-Mart for groceries,” said Samantha Hill, but she said Wal-Mart was her next likely choice.

Wal-Mart and Aldi have been putting pressure on independent grocers by adding locations, updating stores and cutting prices, said Jon Springer, editor of Supermarket News.

“The current conditions are very tough on grocers,” Springer said.

“There’s been a year of straight deflation, which is unusual in food.”

Monthly consumer food prices have been dropping for a year, taking a toll on supermarkets not well-capitalized to sustain the loss of income, he said.

Meanwhile, many market analysts think there are too many supermarkets.

“The amount of grocery businesses,” Springer said, “are probably too many for all the companies to survive.”

massive,” Clymer said. “I looked at that, and I said, ‘There’s no way they’re going to recover.’ ” In late February, Clymer said, he and other co-op members received a letter from Central Grocers informing them that the company was pursuing options and more information would be available in coming weeks.

Clymer said he has been unable to get any information since from Central Grocers. But he has learned that some co-op members have started going elsewhere for their grocery supplies.

Representatives from Berkot’s Super Foods and Tony’s Finer Foods did not return phone calls seeking comments about Central Grocers’ situation.

Central Grocers referred questions to a communications firm in New York, where a spokesman said he would not be able to comment on several matters, including the financial condition of the company.

The retail grocery business has become extremely competitive with big discounters, such as Wal-Mart and Aldi, trying to capture more of the business.

Henry Dreiling was coming out of Ultra Foods in Joliet on Wednesday and said the store is one of three super-

Coal City trustee wins by Auto Dealer 1 vote as Grundy County final tallies are reported DIRECTORY

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Several closely contested local elections concluded Wednesday at the Grundy County Courthouse once all mail-in ballots and the final provisional vote count was in.

Coal City trustees, who had the closest race in the county, finished with Sarah Beach beating David Togliatti by one vote.

With five people running for three seats, the final count is Justin Wren at 522, Timothy Bradley 491, Sarah Beach 424, David Togliatti 423 and Georgette Vota with 390 votes.

Two highly contested races in Erienna Township, which resulted in

calls and visits to both the clerk’s office and the state’s attorney’s office over electioneering, happened for clerk and highway commissioner.

Erienna township Clerk Gloria Mann won the race, 243 to 233, over Zoe Price, and Mark Mann won the Erienna Highway position over Terry Amerman in a 238 to 234 final vote count.

Nettle Creek School District 24C was a close races with five people running for four seats. The final results Wednesday echoed the election night results with Kimberly Phillips and Jacqueline Nusbaumer tying with 119 votes, Michele Carlson receiving 113, Gerig Robinson getting 104, votes and Jenae Wise receiving 100 votes.

Laraway student plans to pursue nursing career with scholarship

By ALLISON SELK

Shaw Media correspondent JOLIET – Kya, a student at Laraway School District 70-C, knew she wanted to be a nurse when she was in sixth grade.

She applied for the Joliet Region Education Hawk Scholarship, and after reviews of her grades, community service and essay, she was one of 45 area students to take home the $1,000 scholarship to further her education after high school.

“I started to cry when I found out I won because this is not something that happens every day. I will be the first person in my family to go to college.

This scholarship will help my family the most,” Kya said.

In 2014, the Joliet Region Chamber of Commerce & Industry Education Committee, in conjunction with The Community Foundation of Will County, established the Joliet Region Education Hawk Scholarship fund after former Joliet Public Schools District 86 Superintendent Charles Coleman brought the idea to the committee.

Forty-five students from public elementary and middle schools in Joliet, Troy, Channahon, Elwood and Laraway districts, as well as students who attend schools in the Joliet Catholic Diocese, are eligible for the scholarships. Applicants must have a 3.75 GPA, include a list of community and school service projects, and write a 500-word essay to

be graded by professors from Joliet Junior College, Lewis University and the University of St. Francis.

District 70-C Superintendent Joe Salmieri said the most important effects on the winners were a sense of validated effort and the reality of college.

“It starts to show what the students need to do academically and behaviorally for success. This is seed money to start them thinking about their future now instead of waiting until their junior or senior year, when decisions have been made that could negatively impact their future,” Salmieri said. “We have students at a high poverty level, and $1,000 may not sound like a lot, but it’s the start to a nest egg.”

Grand jury won’t indict S.C. officer who shot at car

COLUMBIA, S.C. – A grand jury has refused to bring an attempted murder charge against a South Carolina police officer who stepped in front of a car driven by a teen, and then fired seven shots at the vehicle as it drove away.

Pence warns N. Korea: ‘The sword stands ready’

By KEN THOMAS and ROBERT BURNS The Associated Press

YOKOSUKA, Japan – From the wind-swept deck of a massive aircraft carrier, Vice President Mike Pence on Wednesday warned North Korea not to test the resolve of the U.S. military, promising it would make an “overwhelming and effective” response to any use of conventional or nuclear weapons.

Pence, dressed in a green military jacket, said aboard the hulking USS Ronald Reagan that President Donald Trump’s administration would continue to “work diligently” with allies like Japan, China and other global powers to apply economic and diplomatic pressure on Pyongyang. But he told the sailors, “as all of you know, readiness is the key.”

“The United States of America will always seek peace but under President Trump, the shield stands guard and the sword stands ready,” Pence told 2,500 sailors wearing blue fatigues and Naval baseball caps on a sunny, windy morning aboard the carrier at the U.S. Yokosuka naval base in Tokyo Bay. “Those who would challenge our resolve or readiness should know, we will defeat any attack and meet any use of conventional or nuclear weapons with an overwhelming and effective American response,” Pence said.

The vice president said the U.S. would honor its alliance with Pacific Rim nations and protect freedom of navigation in the South China Sea, the sea lanes vital to global shipping where China has been staking claim to disputed territory.

From two continents, Pence and Defense Secretary Jim Mattis warned that North Korea’s latest failed missile launch was a reckless act of provocation and assured allies in Asia that the U.S. was ready to work to achieve a peaceful denuclearization of the Korean

U.S. Vice President Mike Pence speaks Wednesday to U.S. servicemen and Japanese Self-Defense Forces personnel on the flight deck of the U.S. Navy nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan at the U.S. Navy’s Yokosuka base in Yokosuka, south of Tokyo.

Peninsula.

Mattis denounced North Korea’s attempted missile launch as he began a Middle East tour, telling reporters traveling with him to Saudi Arabia, “the leader of North Korea again recklessly tried to provoke something by launching a missile,” he said. The term “reckless” is one the North Koreans have used to describe ongoing largescale U.S. and South Korean military exercises, which the North calls a dress rehearsal for an invasion.

Mattis did not identify the type of missile but said it was not of intercontinental range, meaning it could not reach U.S. territory. He did not comment on what might have caused the missile to fail.

Another official, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss an intelligence matter, said the missile was a Scud variant that the U.S. calls a KN17. Mattis credited China with trying to help get the North Korea situation “under control” with the goal of denuclearizing the peninsula.

Pence’s speech on the aircraft carrier followed meetings Tuesday in Tokyo with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, where he noted that “all options are on the table.”

Abe said that it was a “matter of paramount importance for us to seek diplomatic efforts as well peaceable settlements of the issue.”

“But at the same time,” the prime minister said, “dialogue for the sake of dialogue is valueless and it is necessary for us to exercise pressure North Korea so that it comes forward and engages in this serious dialogue.”

The Trump administration has signaled a forceful U.S. stance on North Korea’s recent actions, dispatching Pence to the Demilitarized Zone dividing North and South Korea on Monday in a show of American resolve. But it remains unclear what might come next.

Behind the heated rhetoric, Trump’s strategy in the region looks somewhat similar to predecessor Barack Obama’s – albeit with the added unpredictability of a new president who has shown he’s willing to use force. Pence said Trump was hopeful China would use its influence in the region to pressure the North to abandon its weapons program. But the vice president expressed impatience with the unwillingness of North Korea to move toward ridding itself of nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles.

Gov. Rauner plays popular tunes on tour As you know by now, Gov. Bruce Rauner toured the state for two days last week. He denied that the tour had anything to do with the 2018 election, but it was pretty darned clear that he and his team were tuning up the band for the big show down the road.

Campaign funds not only paid for the tour, but political money was used to promote in it advance. I’m told Rauner’s advertising on social and online media served over a million impressions in the days leading up to the fly-around.

And like a musician touring to promote a new album, Rauner played up his latest hits. The “Chicago Machine Democrats” just want to “duct tape” the state’s problems instead of fixing them.

Rauner’s latest TV ads, paid for by a “dark money” subsidiary of the Republican Governor’s Association, feature him in a pristine workshop using duct tape to explain how Springfield politicians don’t ever really fix problems.

Whatever he lacks in governing abilities, there’s no doubt that Gov. Rauner is a master at laying out a very simple, popular and easy to understand message and then staying on that message no matter what.

During his Peoria appearance, Rauner slammed the House Democrats’ stopgap budget as just “taping over our problems – duct taping cracks in our

VIEWS Rich Miller system.” The only thing missing was the bright, sharply pressed flannel shirt he wore in the TV ad.

As with all established bands on tour, the governor also played popular tunes from his recent albums.

Since about the beginning of the year, when he was asked by a reporter to grade his first two years in office, Rauner has repeatedly pointed to his own successes at unilaterally cutting unspecified waste from the system (which plays right into the hugely popular notion that waste is the state’s biggest problem) and then contrasted that with the obstructionism of the “Madigan Democrats” in the General Assembly.

“They’ve created the worst crisis of any state in America,” Rauner said of the Democrats while speaking in Springfield. “On things that I can control, we’ve done wonderfully. Where the General Assembly has blocked progress, they’ve made the problem worse.”

Rauner even brought back a line from his February budget address, when he encouraged the Senate’s lead-

ers to hammer out a grand bargain. He spoke about that effort as if he’d never actually knocked the grand bargain off the rails in March.

And, of course, he brought out the old standards that he’s been playing for years: Property tax freeze, term limits and becoming “much more pro-growth, pro-business, pro-investment, pro-job creation,” as he said in Rockford.

The Democratic candidates, for their part, stuck to their #DoYourJob theme in response to Rauner’s tour, saying the governor should be getting a budget deal done rather than campaigning.

None mentioned that the House and Senate are in the midst of a two-week spring break, so doing a deal or even meeting with the other leaders probably wouldn’t be possible.

Also, governors often use spring breaks as an opportunity to hit the hustings. This is nothing new.

Much of the Chicago-based print media focused on the fact that Rauner denied he was campaigning while obviously campaigning. But they never put that into the broader context of the governor’s habit of saying one thing (cheerleading the Senate’s grand bargain) while doing another (killing the Senate’s grand bargain).

Channel 7, the most-watched television station in Chicagoland, ran a

purely positive piece.

“I want all of you to have a better future, I want your children to have great schools and I want your salaries to go up,” Rauner said during the Chicago station’s report.

There was no mention of the fact that none of that has happened since he became governor, and there is no foreseeable time when any of it will happen as long as we have this never-ending gridlock.

Rauner also appeared via phone on several talk radio programs during his tour and faced mostly softball questions from conservative hosts. Even conservative activist Dan Proft, who has sharply criticized the governor on his radio program since the start of the year, allowed Rauner to endlessly rattle on about his main talking points, duct tape and all, without much of a peep.

For those on Rauner’s side, this was a good tour. For those on the other side (and polls show there are a lot of them), well, they wouldn’t like it anyway.

Those in the middle probably got the message that the governor and his team wanted to send, with a big assist from the media.

OUR VIEW

Oberweis’ bill imperils public’s right to know Dissemination of information to citizens through publication of public notices protects the public’s right to know.

Through public notices, units of government inform the public about what they are doing or proposing which, in turn, helps the pubic effectively engage in the democratic process. The cost for public notices is minimal to each unit of government, usually less than a tenth of a percent of the budget.

Legislation that took effect 5 years ago goes further. The Illinois Legislature unanimously approved a bill requiring newspapers to post all public notices they print on a public, free-access centralized website at no additional cost to government. That website is PublicNoticeIllinois.com.

The system works well. Newspapers disseminate public notices and then certify that governments have complied with public notice laws. The public is

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

served efficiently, in print and online.

However, some people want to change it.

Senate Bill 2032 would allow units of government to bypass publishing notices in local newspapers and, instead, post public notices on their own websites or on a state-run website.

State Sen. Jim Oberweis, R-Sugar Grove, introduced the bill in February; a Senate committee is reviewing it.

Lt. Gov. Evelyn Sanguinetti is a strong supporter; a task force she headed issued a report in December 2015 that favors the concept of “modernizing public notices.”

Frankly, we are appalled by their cavalier attitude toward public notices and government transparency.

As a respected, independent third party, newspapers reliably transmit this information in print and online.

Newspapers for centuries have played a key role in the legal process of public

notices by publishing, certifying and archiving them. It’s a long proven process.

By contrast, government is unreliable.

The Citizens Advocacy Center reviewed Illinois local governments’ track record for posting notices online in three basic areas – public meeting notices, public meeting agendas and approved minutes from public meetings – as required by law through the Open Meetings Act. Of more than 750 websites surveyed, only 73 percent of governments complied with posting meeting notices, 57 percent complied with posting an agenda, and a mere 48 percent complied with posting approved meeting minutes.

That’s unacceptable.

What can the public expect if local governments bypass newspapers and post public notices online?

The same dismal record of noncompliance and lawbreaking.

That would be a terrible blow to transparency.

We are unconvinced that public notices, if placed only on government-controlled websites, would have anything close to the same readership they have now.

Senate Bill 2032 is a radical departure from the proven public notice system that all other states use.

Government would inevitably become less transparent, especially for people who aren’t online.

And the public’s right to know, rather than being protected, would be diminished.

Politicians like Oberweis and Sanguinetti ought to know better. They should realize that public notices in Illinois were “modernized” more than 5 years ago through legislation establishing the centralized website, which is PNI. The bill should be defeated.

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

MEN’S VOLLEYBALL: GRAND CANYON UNIVERSITY 3, LEWIS UNIVERSITY 2 (25-27, 25-18, 18-25, 25-19, 16-14)

THE BIGGEST HURT

Fifth set goes against Lewis in MIVA semifinal against Grand Canyon

By KAITLYN JASNICA

kjasnica@shawmedia.com ROMOEVILLE – Consistency is key.

If the Lewis men’s volleyball team had been consistent at anything this year, it was winning five-setters. Unfortunately, luck was not on the Flyers’ side Wednesday night at Neil Carey Arena.

Grand Canyon topped Lewis, 2527, 25-18, 18-25, 25-19, 16-14, to earn a spot in the Midwestern Intercollegiate Volleyball Association championship match. Grand Canyon (19-10) will face Ohio State for the conference title at 7 p.m. Saturday in Columbus. Ohio State barely held on to reach the title match, beating Ball State, 25-14, 25-23, 23-25, 23-25, 15-13, in that semifinal.

This marks the first time in six years that the Flyers will not have played in the championship match.

Lewis played in five straight championship matches and won in 2012.

“We made a nice push there, but ultimately, they made a few more plays than us,” Lewis coach Dan Friend said.

Throughout the season, Lewis has struggled with finishing. In the first set, Grand Canyon forced extra points, but the Flyers (23-7) were able to close out the set. Similarly in the third, Lewis closed when the Lopes were building momentum and pressured the lead.

Of course, another struggle was going to five-setters. This was the Flyers’ 12th match where they put themselves in that tight situation. Lewis ended the season with a 9-3 fifth-set record.

Lewis University’s Matt Yoshimoto (3) sets the ball during Wednesday’s MIVA tournament semifinal game against Grand Canyon University.

The Flyers got even offensive numbers at the pins from Trevor Weirskircher, Mitch Perinar and Ryan Coenen.

Across the board, Weirskircher was the most consistent player for the

Flyers. The senior outside totaled 15 kills, six digs, three blocks and an ace for the night.

After being limited to two kills in the opener, right side Perinar heated up and added 14 kills and three blocks.

26 BASEBALL: PLAINFIELD CENTRAL 3, PLAINFIELD SOUTH 1

Thornberry, Plainfield Central edge Plainfield South

By DICK GOSS

dgoss@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – The Plainfield Central hitters spent the afternoon Wednesday getting good at-bats against Plainfield South senior righthander Austin Marozas.

Finally, after a 41/2-inning scoreless duel between Marozas and Central sidearming right-hander Cade Thornberry, the Wildcats broke through.

Nate Haupt, the No. 9 hitter in coach John Rosner’s lineup, drove in the first run in the bottom of the fifth inning with a suicide squeeze bunt single, leadoff man Cam Cercone followed with a sacrifice fly to right field, and Central went on to win the opener of a key Southwest Prairie Conference series, 3-1.

“Their kid [Thornberry] threw his butt off,” South coach Phil Bodine said. “He’s not something you see every day with that delivery. I was especially impressed with the way he was mixing in the change.”

That change-of-pace pitch actually is a slider, the only pitch Thornberry throws besides his fastball. But when he spots his pitches as he did against the Cougars (11-4-1, 4-1), that’s plenty in his arsenal. He had a no-hitter

through five innings, allowing two walks and hitting two batters during that span.

“Our coaches tried to mimic [Thornberry’s] delivery in practice,” Bodine said. “You can see how well that worked. You just have to tip your cap to him.”

“When he puts it where he wants to like he did today, he is hard to hit,” Rosner said.

Thornberry began throwing from the side as a junior. He was the closer last year, a starter this year.

“I was playing third base and throwing from the side to second and to first, and our coaches wanted to see me try pitching that way,” he said.

“That’s how it got started.

“I’m excited. This was a great game.

I was excited to pitch against Austin [Marozas]. We play on the same travel team.”

After Central (13-4, 3-2) took the 2-0 lead in the bottom of the fifth, South began getting to Thornberry. Marco Escobar led off with a lineout to shortstop Cercone, who had made the defensive play of the game in the second inning, a backhanded, diving stop in the hole and a long throw to get Nick Enloe at first.

Nick Mayerhofer then singled over

first base to break up the no-hitter.

Mayerhofer stole second, and Konnor Ash singled to center to make it 2-1.

Enloe also singled, and Trey Stewart lofted a long fly ball that Joey Michaud caught in deep left field.

“I thought maybe when it left his bat, it might have a chance, but the wind knocked it right down,” Bodine said.

“I was scared when he hit it,” Thornberry said. “I said, ‘No, don’t let him hit it out.’ ” With one out in the bottom of the sixth, Central’s David Ascencio left no doubt as he belted a solo home run well beyond the left-field fence to provide insurance and make it 3-1. It was Ascencio’s third homer in five days.

“It would have been nice to chase one run in the seventh instead of two,” Bodie said. “That home run was big.”

“David is just a monster,” Thornberry said. “He has the quickest hands I’ve seen. [Haupt’s] suicide was big, too. Our goal was to score first. The suicide was a game-changer.”

It was the first time Haupt has executed a suicide, but he said he would feel comfortable if called on again. The suicide squeeze came after Michaud and Brandon Callendar singled and Rocky Pascente sacrificed to set the stage. Callendar finished with two hits.

“We do the suicide in practice all the time,” Haupt said. “[Rosner] had faith in me, and I had faith in myself. I wasn’t surprised I got the sign. It was the right moment. Scoring first was big. If I’m asked to do it again, I’ll be ready.”

Rosner said it was evident early on that one run could be huge.

“It was exactly what you would expect,” he said. “Two good pitchers throwing well, the wind blowing in.

We talked in the first or second inning that we had to play for one run. We work on the short game daily, and we were confident we would execute [the suicide] no matter who was up.

“It was big adding that second run, too. Cam [Cercone] had a great at-bat (eight pitches) and hit the sacrifice fly.”

Marozas went the distance, allowing five hits. He struck out three, low by his standards.

“We had good at-bats all day,” Rosner said.

Senior right-hander Nate Yusko worked the seventh inning for Central, allowing a walk and striking out the final batter.

“It was a good game, they just beat us,” Bodine said. “They played well.”

“It had the feel of a regional final or sectional game,” Rosner said.

• MEN’S VOLLEYBALL Continued from page 25

Sophomore setter Matt Yoshimoto dished out 42 assists and added three kills, seven digs and a solo block. Michael Simmons anchored the defense with 10 digs.

Senior middles Jacob Schmiegelt and John Hodul had strong nights. Schmiegelt had seven kills, a .500 hitting percentage and two blocks, while Hodul had three kills and five blocks (one solo).

Lewis graduates Schmiegelt, Hodul, Weirskircher and Giovanni LlinasRosa.

“All four of the guys have been great,” Friend said. “Schmiegelt is a fifth-year guy. He’s been fantastic for us and has played some great volleyball toward the end of the year, and that’s what you expect from him.

“Johnny Hodul found a rhythm this year, his senior year, after sitting behind the wings. He’s had an outstanding season for us. Trevor is a transfer into us his third year. He’s really blending in with our team and had a good match to finish the year.

“Unfortunately, Gio[vanni LlinasRosa] blew out his ACL, but at the same time, Gio has found a different role as a coach with my wife in the girls season. All four Paul Bergstrom for Shaw Media great guys represent the program really well and do great things in the classroom.

BOLINGBROOK – It’s quite understandable why Andrew Santiago was a little stunned by the recognition that he received Wednesday.

The Bolingbrook senior, who was a member of the Raiders football program and played defensive lineman this past season, received a special honor that he was able to share with family, friends, teammates, teachers and coaches at the school’s auditorium.

Representatives from the U.S. Army and Pro Football Hall of Fame were on hand to recognize Santiago as one of the 25 finalists nationwide for the Award for Excellence program, which is sponsored by both organizations.

One of the most influential tight ends in NFL history, 1995 Hall of Famer Kellen Winslow, gave a short speech about surrounding yourself with good people and then recognized Santiago for his accomplishments that made him one of 25 who are up for the award.

“I just want to thank everyone who have always supported me and to the U.S. Army and Pro Football Hall of Fame for coming to Bolingbrook; it’s an extreme honor,” Santiago said. “And Kellen Winslow is a great guy, one of the nicest guys I’ve ever met, and a great mentor.

“It’s always been student-first in my family, and I’ve always been pushed to get good grades. All of the other stuff on the side is just for my enjoyment. I’ve been playing since I was a young kid and always have enjoyed the game. When I first came into high school, I didn’t think that I was going to play since Bolingbrook has always had one of the best programs in the state. But I’ve played, and here I am today, and I am extremely blessed for it.”

A member of the National Honor Society, Santiago intends to continue his education and football career at Beloit College in Wisconsin, where he hopes to major in economics.

Seniors, juniors and sophomores from throughout the country were eligible for the award based on their athletic, academic and civic achievements.

Santiago said he’s proud to represent his community and school by being considered for this award.

“I was born and raised in Bolingbrook, and I love all of these people to death – my family, teammates, friends, coaches and teachers,” Santiago said. “They have always sup-

It feels like I won it for them. I’ve always been surrounded by friends and family who supported me and my football and academic career, and I’m extremely grateful. I need them in my life to keep doing what I’m doing.”

Santiago was nominated for the award by mathematics teacher Elizabeth Cowie.

“I had Andrew in honors algebra as a freshman and have him now in pre-calculus as a senior, and he’s just one of those kids that makes a huge impact on my life as a teacher,” Cowie said. “To see him not only be able to balance his academics and extracurriculars and to excel at everything, is so worth it for me to see him get recognized with such a huge honor.”

Veteran Raiders coach John Ivlow was thrilled to see Santiago recog-

nized.

“This is very special, considering that there’s only 25 guys in the whole United States of America that are nominated for this,” Ivlow said. “He understands the magnitude of this, and we’re fortunate that he’s from our school. There was no shortage of playing time for him, and that’s because he was a physical, hardworking kid. He was a game captain and a starter. He did a lot of good things for us, and this was a nice way to cap off his high school career.”

Raiders athletic director Rob Rose was excited to see one of his school’s athletes honored.

“When I think of our students, Andrew is the cream of the crop when it comes to just great kids who know how to get work done,” Rose said.

“He’s worked his butt off in the classroom, and I’ve seen him on the field; he’s just a tough kid and a hardwork-

er who’s humble and a real person.

That’s something that attracts other people to him, especially his teammates. This honor is a testament to his parents, coaches and teachers.”

With a family that included military people and playing throughout his career in San Diego, where the military has such a big presence, Winslow is thrilled to represent the Pro Football Hall of Fame in association with the U.S. Army to recognize deserving student-athletes.

“As we get older, we look back and think that things are not as great as they used to be and wonder where out next leaders are coming from,” Winslow said. “But when you get a chance to come to a school like this, and see what the teachers and coaches are doing and see that they’re turning out young men like Andrew, it gives you a lot of hope for the future.”

CUBS 7, BREWERS 4

Russell’s 3-run walk-off blast caps rally in the 9th

By BRUCE MILES

The Cubs’ Addison Russell celebrates after hitting a game-winning three-run home run off Brewers relief pitcher Neftali Feliz in the ninth inning Wednesday at Wrigley Field.

bmiles@dailyherald.com CHICAGO – If Cubs players were wearing their World Series rings to Wednesday night’s Bricks and Ivy charity ball, they might have shown fans the inscription.

On each player’s ring, it reads: “We never quit.”

That was the rallying cry last year, and it rang out in the clubhouse after Game 7 of the 2016 World Series.

Apparently, it’s still a thing this year.

Addison Russell hit a walk-off threerun homer in the bottom of the ninth inning off Neftali Feliz to cap a four-run rally and lift the Cubs to a 7-4 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers at Wrigley Field.

“Absolutely, we feel very strongly about that,” Russell said of the slogan.

“It seems that whenever you kind of count us out, we seem to have a spark.

That’s all it takes, just one hit, one walk and we get rolling.”

The Cubs were on the brink of falling below .500 again at 7-8, as they trailed, 4-1, in this game. But the victory moved

them to 8-7 and had them feeling good again after scoring back-to-back comefrom-behind victories over the Brewers to take two of three in the series.

Over the previous weekend, the Pirates swept the Cubs in three, and it seemed a little queasiness had crept in during an emotional homestand, during which the Cubs raised their championship banner and received those rings.

But the equilibrium seems to have returned as they get set to embark on a

three-city trip that begins Friday at Cincinnati.

“It is the resiliency, it is the fact that we do not quit,” manager Joe Maddon said. “It’s on the ring. We do not quit.

It’s on the ring, man. And that’s a perfect example today.

“I don’t think that we’ve really been feeling badly. It’s just that Pittsburgh came from behind twice and beat us.

All of a sudden, we returned the favor against Milwaukee. Again, it’s the latter

part of the game. We did a better job of taking care of the latter part of the game today. We have to do that more consistently. You’re seeing signs, really good signs, with the bullpen guys.”

The bullpen pitched four scoreless innings in relief of starter Kyle Hendricks, who gave up four hits and four runs in his five innings.

Even though the optics hadn’t been good, Cubs relievers came into the game with an ERA of 3.83, and they lowered that to 3.53 Wednesday to go along with a WHIP of 1.20.

As for Hendricks, the reigning ERA champ in baseball is at 6.19 as he sorts out things with his mechanics. He gave a nod of appreciation to his teammates.

“Today, especially, that was an unbelievable win today,” he said. “Getting behind early like that and for the bullpen to come in and shut it down, really for those last four innings, and the offense. Tough in the beginning against (Brewers starting pitcher Tommy) Milone; he threw really well today. Just grinding out at-bats, man, it was fun to watch from in here.

Yeah, that’s what we were doing all year last year. So it was really good to see.”

NEW YORK – Now that’s what a rebuilding loss is supposed to look like.

A Rule 5 rookie pitcher with six starts in Double-A last season under his belt taking lumps and learning on the job at Yankee Stadium.

A 9-1 loss to the Yankees.

A designated hitter (Cody Asche) with an .069 batting average.

That sounds like more of what could have been expected from the White Sox when they embarked on remodeling their organization this past offseason.

But with 14 games scratched off the schedule and a 5-4 three-city road trip off the books, the Sox returned home Wednesday night having played better than most expected.

With Chris Sale and Adam Eaton traded away and Carlos Rodon injured, the Sox are out of the gate with a 7-7 record after Wednesday’s blowout defeat.

What does it mean?

“It’s a short snippet,” cautioned manager Rick Renteria, who saw rookie Dylan Covey give up three homers and eight runs in five innings in what was the Bronx Bombers’ ninth win in 10 games. For the Sox, it marked their first series loss of what looked like a testy trip that started in Cleveland and Minnesota.

“It’s a long season,” Renteria said.

“But hopefully they just continue to push. There are highs and lows, and hopefully they stay even keel.”

Renteria pushed hard from the first day of spring training to demand a clean brand of ball and let the chips fall where they may.

“We’ve had a couple of blips,” he said. “But overall it has been a very positive road trip.

“Everybody came into the season not thinking about the restructure or the changes that are going on. Everybody prepared to play the game. I don’t think even at this moment that anyone is thinking about what might happen or what might not happen.”

The trades and rumors of trades that are part of the everyday existence in rebuilding haven’t affected the Sox, at least not yet, Renteria said.

“I don’t think so,’’ he said. “You can’t control those things. It doesn’t serve you very well to ponder it.”

What serves you well is good pitching, and the Sox went into Wednesday’s game leading the major leagues with a 2.55 ERA. The bullpen, at 1.30, also led the league, and when Tommy Kahnle struck out Chase Headley, Matt Holliday and Jacoby Ellsbury with upper-90s heat in the seventh, the pen had 52 strikeouts over 432/3 innings of work.

The first two batters for each side set the tone Wednesday. Tyler Saladino and Tim Anderson worked full counts against Masahiro Tanaka (2-1) in the first but swung over pitches below the knees for strike three.

Brett Gardner doubled and Chase Headley homered to get things rolling against Covey (0-1) in the Yankees first, and the rookie, after giving up two more runs in the second, gave up back-to-back homers to Starlin Castro and Aaron Judge in the fifth. Judge’s carried 448 feet with an exit velocity of 115.5 mph, according to MLB Statcast.

Pinch hitter Aaron Hicks went deep against reliever Michael Ynoa, giving the Yankees a season-high four homers.

On a brighter note, Jose Abreu went 3 for 4 with two doubles and an RBI after going a horrendous 2 for 31 in the first eight games of the trip.

Hernandez hangs himself

BLACKHAWKS

Toews: No more time for waiting Predators on verge of series sweep

By MARK LAZERUS

mlazerus@suntimes.com NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Ryan Johansen has been everything you’d want in a top-line center during the first-round series between the Blackhawks and Nashville Predators. He has a goal and four assists in three games, and his line has completely dominated play while leading the Predators to a stunning 3-0 series lead.

That he’s doing it against one of the game’s great No. 1 centers, Jonathan Toews, makes it even sweeter. The mere fact that he’s even going up against Toews in a playoff series is something Johansen has been relishing.

“Yeah, it’s awesome,” he said. “Obviously, you want to be measured by how you play against opponents like we’re playing now. For me, it’s a fun opportunity to play against a guy like Toews, and all the other stars on their team that have had so much success over the last seven seasons and won a few Cups. To be able to be happy with your game against those guys is a pretty satisfying feeling.”

Toews, meanwhile, hasn’t been satisfied in some time. The last time he scored a postseason goal, Patrick Sharp had the primary assist, way back in Game 5 of the 2015 Stanley Cup Final. That’s 12 straight playoff games without a goal for the Hawks captain as he prepares to lead his team into Thursday night’s do-or-die Game 4 at Bridgestone Arena.

“That’s something I’m obviously well aware of, and no better moment than a game like [Thursday],” Toews said after

Wednesday’s practice. “I’ve waited long enough. You’ve got to go out there feeling lucky, like you’re going to work for that bounce. I’m just trying to stay patient and smart and do the right things.

Obviously, no more waiting. [Game 4] is a big game, and a great time to come through and make a big play.”

Somebody has to. The Hawks have scored a measly two goals in 10 periods against the Predators in this series, and while much of the discussion has been on the Predators’ trapping defense, and the outstanding play of the Johansen line, and the adjustment process for the handful of young Hawks getting their first taste of postseason hockey, it still falls on the Hawks’ biggest stars to lead the way.

And that starts at the top, with the man in the middle.

Toews always has been a streaky scorer, but his occasional offensive lulls almost always are offset by his defensive prowess and all the other little things he does so well. That hasn’t been the case in this series. But if he can get the offense going, it not only could get the Hawks on the board but help keep Filip Forsberg, Johansen and Viktor Arvidsson off it.

“We need more out of everybody, whether it’s his line or [Artem Anisimov’s] line,” Hawks coach Joel Quenneville said. “We look across the board.

We always find that when we’re in some tough spots, our top guys always find a way to lead the charge, and find a way to overcome all obstacles. And we’re going to need them. But we’re going to need everybody else, too.”

BOSTON – Hours before his former New England Patriots teammates were due to visit the White House to celebrate their Super Bowl victory, prison officials said, Aaron Hernandez tied one end of his bedsheet to a window and the other around his neck and hanged himself.

In a maximum-security prison outside Boston, about an hour from the stadium where he played alongside stars such as Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski, Hernandez jammed the door to his one-man cell lest guards try to stop him and put an early end to the life-without-parole sentence he received for a 2013 murder.

He was 27.

It was the last act in the downfall of an athlete who once seemed to have everything, including a five-year $40 million contract extension, and threw it all away.

The former NFL star’s death left friends, family and his legal team shocked and in disbelief, searching for an explanation. On Friday, Hernandez was acquitted in a separate murder case.

Aaron Hernandez listens during his double murder trial March 15 in Boston. Massachusetts prison officials said Hernandez hanged himself in his cell and was pronounced dead Wednesday at a hospital.

“There were no conversations or correspondence from Aaron to his family or legal team that would have indicated anything like this was possible,” said his attorney, Jose Baez. “Aaron was looking forward to an opportunity for a second chance to prove his innocence. Those who love and care about him are heartbroken and determined to find the truth surrounding his untimely death.”

Guards found Hernandez shortly after 3 a.m. Wednesday at the state prison in Shirley, Correction Department spokesman Christopher Fallon said.

“I play a lot of spiritually focused songs, some of which I invite people to sing with me and some of which I don’t,” said Assad, who’s performed with notable Christian artists Chris Tomlin, Matt Maher and Jars of Clay.

“It’s a very prayerful, calm atmosphere and I will speak a little bit in between and share stories.”

Assad will perform April 21 at St. Mary Immaculate Parish in Plainfield.

But Assad is more than a Christian artist.

She’s especially passionate about four topics: pornography addiction, Catholicism, womanhood and Syrian refugees. Assad may share on these or others at the upcoming concert.

Pornography addiction

Assad, 33, said she is a recovering pornography addict. The addiction began when Assad was 15 and continued for three years.

Although many consider pornography addiction a men’s issue, Assad said it affects women, too, who often feel isolated and alone in their addiction.

“Thirty to 40 percent of women have had some kind of relationship with pornography, whether addictive or more casual use,” Assad said.

With today’s easy access of technology, shielding kids from pornogra-

phy is impossible, Assad said. Parents should be prepared to talk to their children about pornography since the initial exposure across genders is age 9, Assad said.

“I wish I had been a little more prepared when I saw it,” Assad said. “I had no idea what it was. I had no idea how to process it.”

herself as a human being above all else.”

However, Assad said she is also trying to comprehend “the church side of things” and she referenced the “Theology of the Body” by Pope John Paul II. In many ways, Assad bucks the traditional view of Christian womanhood – she has a small child but works fulltime and retained her maiden name when she married.

“My experience as a woman is currently me trying to understand if and how my gender actually impacts my identity,” Assad said. “It’s a very pregnant question for Christians and other women.”

According to her website at www. audreyassad.com, Audrey Assad: • Grew up learning to sing in a Plymouth Brethren community; • Releases music she calls “soundtracks for prayer” on the label Fortunate Fall Records, which she co-owns with her husband; • Is also one half of the pop band LEVV, whose debut EP peaked at No. 17 on the iTunes Alternative chart; • Released her first solo album through Sparrow Records and was awarded the iTunes Christian Breakthrough Album of the Year in 2010 and nominated for two Dove Awards; • Raised more than $40,000 in 50 hours in 2013 for an independent record, “Fortunate Fall,” on Kickstarter; • Released an EP, “Death, Be Not Proud,” in 2014, a few weeks after the birth of her first son; • Performed at the IHOP One Thing conference with Francis Chan speaking, Mass at St. Patrick’s Cathedral with Cardinal Timothy Dolan presiding, and alongside Matt Maher during the papal event “World Meeting of Families;” • Has written reflective and devotional entries for “Christianity Today;” • Released a collection of hymns and songs called “Inheritance” in 2016.

Assad converted to Catholicism when she was 23. Raised as a fundamentalist Christian in a homeschool environment, Assad felt Christianity was “all about regulations.” Then she encountered the Catholic church with its rules and theological definitions and thought “Oooh, more guidelines!”

“I was very attracted to that,” Assad said. “What’s beautiful is that once I got into it, [the Catholic church] challenged all that. The Catholic church has such a wide spectrum of beliefs that I was forced to confront my narrow-minded ideas by the church itself.”

Ten years later, Assad said she loves the physical elements of the church – especially the sacraments – as she sometimes struggles with belief.

“It reminds me that I don’t know everything,” Assad said, “or how God might work in the world or in my life.”

Womanhood

Assad said her interpretation of Catholic womanhood in the 21st century shifts and expands as she grows spiritually. She used to think identity was based on biology but today “sees

Syrian refugees

Assad’s father is a Syrian refugee so Assad uses her platform and social media to promote the campaigns of those who work – and do aid drops – in “terrible war zones where no one will go.”

Assad supports volunteers who hold quarterly drives for personal care products for refugees coming off the planes. Through Catholic Charities, Assad supports mentoring programs.

Assad connects with refugee fami-

lies and the volunteers who help them “and expand my efforts as time permits,” she said.

JOLIET – Each year since 2004, Joliet Catholic Academy has honored either a family, person, couple or group at Jubilaté, the school’s annual celebration and major fundraiser, which held its 32nd event on March 11.

At Jubilaté 2017, this tribute was bestowed on Patricia and the late Harold Patrick Graham. Patty and Pat laid the groundwork for JCA to continue its mission and tradition of abundant faith-based opportunities for our students to grow and excel in their lives.

Pat (Joliet Central High School Class of ’59) and Patty (née Liker, the former Saint Francis Academy Class of ’60) started HP Graham Construction Company in 1969, and Pat’s love of building roads expanded into developing real estate in Illinois, Florida and Hawaii. Before Pat passed away in April of 2012, he proudly worked with

a group of local friends to found First Community Bank in Joliet.

Their strong belief in education, particularly Catholic education, for the entire Graham family began with Pat and Patty, graduates of JCHS, SFA, Lewis University in Romeoville, and the former College of St. Francis of Joliet, now University of St. Francis, respectively.

During the years, unbeknownst to many recipients, the Grahams sponsored students and scholarships at St. Raymond School, All Saints Academy in Naperville, Lewis University, St. Mary’s Notre Dame, and Joliet Catholic Academy.

For a time after college graduation, Patricia taught at Hufford Junior High, and then stepped away to raise her children and help Pat run the family construction business.

Plainfield students learning more about science from new STEM lab PLAINFIELD – The sixth-grade students of St. Mary Immaculate are using the new state of the art STEM lab to learn more about science, technology, engineering and math.

As part of a unit on roller coasters, they completed two mini projects on foundational support for their model which will be made out of paper and tape.

Marbles will be used as the roller coaster cars. This is part of the seven step STEM Explore unit through the Cyber Innovations Center. The unit culminates with the students creating and developing a prototype of a roller coaster model based on STEM concepts learned.

SHOREWOOD – Trinity Christian School in Shorewood recently hosted a mobile pack event with Feed My Starving Children to provide meals to hungry children around the world.

The event drew 555 volunteers.

Volunteers packed meals containing a mix of rice combined with soy, dried vegetables and vitamins. They packed 93,312 meals – or meals for a year for 255 children – in one day.

The event was a result of a partnership between Trinity Christian School, Feed My Starving Children and several area churches. Sponsor churches helped cover the cost of the meals that were packed.

Several area churches partnered with Trinity Christian School and Feed My Starving Children to help cover the costs of the meals packed: First Presbyterian, First Assembly of God, Good Shepard Covenant church-

es, all located in Joliet; Hope Lutheran, Pathway Christian, Southwest Community churches, all located in Shorewood; Grace Pointe and Springbrook Community churches, both of Plainfield, and Bethlehem Lutheran Church in Morris.

Other agencies also provided volunteers to assist in the event. Packing volunteers included groups from The Medtronic Company, Joliet; Joliet Catholic Academy, Minooka High School, Our Savior Lutheran Church, St. Anne Church, Messiah Lutheran Church, Harvest Bible Chapel and Trinity Christian School.

Types of headaches and what causes them

sensations on the skin and nausea.

Headaches also can be the result of eye strain, allergy, hunger or fasting, fever, fatigue, dental problems, lack of fluids and hangover, to name just a few. The truth is, the subject of headache is vast and extremely complex. And despite many strides forward (remember that dead-mole-on-the-head cure?), science still has more questions than answers.

What signals that a headache may be something to worry about?

• A major change to the pattern of your headaches, such as going from a few a month to one a day.

• The sudden onset of persistent headaches, particularly after age 50.

• A headache that is the most severe you have ever had.

• The onset of a headache after a traumatic event to the head.

• Any headache that alters cognitive function, is accompanied by fever and a stiff neck, or includes symptoms such as slurred speech, blurred vision, weakness, numbness or seizures.

These can be signs of underlying conditions such as head injury, infection, tumor, high blood pressure, fluid buildup in the skull, decrease in blood flow or bleeding in the brain.

This all sounds alarming, so let us assure you again that these conditions are rare.

However, if any of the above happen to you, please be safe and seek immediate care.

Dear Doctors: I’ve always had headaches, from the time I was a teenager. But now I get them more often – about one headache a week. Is this a warning sign of something?

Dear Reader: Headache is among the most common – and ancient – of physical complaints. You would be hard-pressed to find someone who hasn’t suffered from a headache at some point.

Mentions of headache in written texts date back to 1200 B.C., and treatments over the centuries have included leeches; garlic; oil in the ear; tying a dead mole to one’s head (no, we’re not making this up); magnets; electricity; psychotherapy; and that universal refuge, the soothing bath.

Most headaches are periodic bouts of pain centered in the head and/or neck. It’s not the brain tissue itself that’s sending pain signals – it’s the surrounding tissues, blood vessels and nerves that serve the area. Many headaches respond to medication and lifestyle changes. Some, however, such as migraines, may persist despite treatment. Some headaches can be warning signs of larger problems such as blood clot, stroke or tumor. Thankfully, those are rare.

Although there are many different types of headache, most fall into four categories: • Tension headaches are the most common, marked by dull pressure, like a band tightening around your forehead.

• Sinus headaches, which cause a deep, throbbing pain, occur when the cavities around the cheeks, nose and forehead become inflamed.

• Cluster headaches, marked by severe pain in and around one eye, get their name because they often occur in clusters, but they are less common.

• Migraines, which can last for hours or even days, cause debilitating pain, often on one side of the head. They can be accompanied by flashes of light, photosensitivity, a blind spot in the field of vision, tingling

DEAR ABBY ex-husband had an affair with Jeanne a woman who Phillips was one of my dearest friends.

My heart is broken; my marriage is over. I have lost my home and my friend. It has been a struggle for me to recover.

My daughter, with whom I am very close, continues to have a relationship with this woman. While I know it’s not my place to tell her who to be friends with (she’s 22), I can’t help but feel betrayed.

My daughter is pregnant, and this woman seems to be attempting to play mother and push her way into every detail of my daughter’s pregnancy. It’s extremely upsetting to me to have to share one more thing with her.

She already took my home and husband; I would like to keep my daughter and grand-baby. What to do? – The Real Grandma-To-Be Dear Real Grandma: Although you cannot cut this woman completely out of your life because she is now with your ex, calmly discuss this with your daughter. She may have reasons you are unaware of for wanting to include the woman to the extent she has.

Dear Abby: We need help with our dad. Many of his grandchildren participate in sports. For some reason, he thinks it’s perfectly fine to sit in the stands surrounded by people he doesn’t know and loudly criticize the other players.

We talk to him before the games. We remind him he’s sitting by these players’ parents and what he’s doing is not cool. Some of the parents become quite emotional if things don’t go well, and Dad doesn’t need to be doing this. Yet he continues. Have you any ideas on getting Grandpa to keep his opinions to himself? We don’t want to ban him from games and treat him like a 5-year-old who can’t behave, since he still is able to travel to see us for these visits. We try to sit away from others, but it’s not always possible. – Embarrassed In Houston Dear Embarrassed: You already know the answer to your problem, and I do not understand why you haven’t taken action. Was your father always this way, or has he become demented? When an adult acts like a 5-year-old and behaves inappropriately after having been cautioned against it, there is cause for concern.

If he is unable to control his behavior at those games, instead of being allowed to ruin them for everyone within earshot, he should absolutely be banned from attending. If you won’t do it for the sake of the players and other parents, then do it for your father’s safety, because one of these days, an irate parent or relative may punch his lights out.

Dear Abby: My niece was married by a justice of the peace in October. She and her husband are having a church wedding this summer. What would be the proper date to recognize on a gift? – Donna In North Carolina Dear Donna: If you are having the wedding gift engraved, you should ask your niece which date she and her husband would prefer.

HOROSCOPE

By EUGENIA LAST

Newspaper Enterprise Association TODAY – If you reconnect with former co-workers, new opportunities will develop this year. Explore and develop what you need to do to advance.

Taking a course or learning new skills will accentuate what you have to offer and will boost your confidence.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Greater stability will be yours if you embrace an offer that comes your way. Don’t hesitate to make a move. Taking on a challenge and working hard will pay off.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Someone will take advantage of you if you are too easygoing. Think hard about what’s being asked of you and if

it’s in your best interest. Put your health and emotional well-being first.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Domestic alterations will entice you, but check to make sure you can afford the changes you want to make before you begin. It’s who you are, not what you own that counts.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Don’t dwell on the impossible. Find a way to get along and get things done. Arguing will be a waste of time. Keep the peace.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Look for new opportunities. Go for interviews and send out your resume. Meeting with a former co-worker will lead to an interesting proposal.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – A chance to do some-

thing interesting with a close friend, loved one or youngster in your life will give you a boost and offer insight into ways to raise your income.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Refrain from sharing your feelings. Get down to business and do your best to take care of job-related matters with precision. Your reputation relies on finishing what you start.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Talks, meetings and interviews will lead to advancement. It’s time to initiate change and use your knowledge, experience and intelligence to go after your goals.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Use your experience to guide you if someone tries to take advantage of you or tempt you to engage in

something that isn’t in your best interest.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – A steady pace will help you get things done. Don’t fret over things you cannot change or the emotional baggage you’ve been carrying around. Make amends and start anew.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Make sure you get all your facts straight before you forge ahead.

Not everyone will be telling the truth. Choose to work with people who will put in as much effort as you.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Make a point to pay close attention to what others do and say.

The information you gather will help you avoid getting coerced into a no-win situation. Protect your reputation.

Hawkwind, an English rock band, in a song called “Sea King,” has this lyric: “Unbid to him comes a rune once taught.”

We have been looking at negative doubles that show length in an unbid major. But what happens when there is no unbid major, as in today’s deal?

Now a negative double promises length in both minor suits. (If North had been stronger, he would have responded two clubs; but with insufficient power to bid immediately at the two-level, he starts with a negative double.) South’s hand isn’t perfect with those three losing spades, but it would be cautious to rebid less than four hearts.

What should the result be after West leads the spade king?

If only South could gain the lead, he could collect a lot of tricks. Now, though, the defenders are in control.

First, East must overtake the spade king with his ace. Then he leads back his second spade. West takes two more tricks in the suit, and East should discard a discouraging diamond two. What happens next?

West should realize that his side has no more side-suit tricks available.

The bidding and East’s signal mark declarer with the diamond ace. Also, if South needs a club finesse to work, it will. The defenders must try to gain a trump trick.

West should lead a fourth spade.

Then, if East is in midseason form, he will ruff with the heart 10, which effects an uppercut. South will overruff, but then West gains a trump trick, the defense’s fourth winner.

When you’ve taken all possible side-suit tricks, try for a trump promotion.

PUBLIC NOTICE To patrons of Commonwealth Edison Company: Commonwealth Edison Company ("ComEd") hereby gives notice to the public that on April 13, 2017, it filed with the Illinois Commerce Commission ("ICC" or "Commission") its annual formula rate update, including updated cost inputs, a revenue requirement reconciliation, and supporting testimony and other information, all for the purpose of determining, pursuant to Section 16-108.5 of the Illinois Public Utilities Act (the "Act"), updated rates for delivery services applicable throughout ComEd's service territory in northern Illinois to be applicable beginning with the first monthly billing period of 2018.

As provided in Section 16-108.5 of the Act, the updated costs are based on final historical cost data for calendar year 2016 reflected in ComEd's most recently filed annual FERC Form 1, plus projected plant additions for calendar year 2017, as well as the associated adjustments to accumulated depreciation (change in depreciation reserve), depreciation expense, and accumulated deferred income taxes. In addition, ComEd's 2016 actual costs, which are now known, are reconciled with the corresponding costs that had been used as part of the prior formula rate update filing. Those updated costs and other inputs, and that reconciliation, collectively result in a distribution revenue requirement on which new delivery services rates are to be based (referred to in the filing as the "2018 Rate Year Net Revenue Requirement") of $2,721,580,000.

This is an increase of $96,280,000 from the revenue requirement approved by the ICC in last year's formula update, ICC Docket Number 16-0259, Order on Rehearing.

For residential customers receiving bundled fixed price electric service from ComEd, the delivery services charges are only a portion of the total bill. The remaining portion includes the cost of the electricity supply and other services, which are subject to the procurement process established by Section 1-75 of the Illinois Power Agency Act and the provisions of Section 16-111.5 of the Public Utilities Act and/or to regulation by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. Using rates applicable with the April 2017 billing period for such other components, the estimated total bill impacts of changes in the delivery component are provided herein.

Increases are denoted by a + sign and decreases are denoted by a - sign.

For such customers, the delivery portion of electric bills represents approximately 45% of the total electric bill, on average, while the supply portion accounts for about 39%, the transmission portion accounts for approximately 10% and other charges such as taxes account for the remaining 6%. As a result, all other things being equal, the updated rates for the delivery portion result in an overall change in the total residential bills, on average, of +$1.26 per month or an estimated +1.6%. Total bill impacts for residential customers vary by delivery class and electric usage. For example, the estimated total bill impact, on average, for multi-family residential customers without electric space heat utilizing on average 340 kilowatt-hours ("kWhs") per month, is +$0.88 per month or +1.9%. Likewise, the estimated total bill impact, on average, for single-family residential customers without electric space heat utilizing on average 743 kWhs per month, is +$1.57 per month or +1.7%. Furthermore, the estimated total bill impact, on average, for multi-family residential customers with electric space heat, utilizing on average 782 kWhs per month, is -$0.18 per month or -0.2%. Additionally, the estimated total bill impact, on average, for single family residential customers with electric space heat, utilizing on average 1,662 kWhs per month, is +$0.03 or +0.0%. ComEd does not estimate total bill impacts for residential customers supplied by Retail Energy Suppliers.

The updated delivery service rates for nonresidential customers in the Watt-Hour and Small Load delivery classes (100 kilowatts ("kW") or less of demand), with varying usages result in an overall average percentage change in the total bill of +7.7% and +2.9%, respectively. Nonresidential customers with larger electric loads (greater than 100 kW) have a wide range of electric load characteristics in addition to electricity supply costs that cannot be reasonably estimated; therefore, the overall effect of the updated delivery service rates on an electric bill for such customers cannot be determined.

The updated delivery service rates include ComEd's updated costs of delivering electricity through its distribution system and apply to all ComEd customers independent of whether electricity supply is procured and provided by ComEd or by a third party (i.e., a Retail Electric Supplier). These updated rates will take effect beginning with the first day of the January 2018 monthly billing period.

A copy of the materials filed with the Commission and supporting data and documents may be inspected by any interested party at ComEd's office located at Three Lincoln Centre in Oakbrook Terrace, Illinois. In addition, Commonwealth Edison Company will place an electronic version of this Public Notice with estimated bill impacts on its Internet website www.ComEd.com.

Customers are advised that the Commission may alter or amend the rates after hearings held pursuant to Section 16-108.5 of the Act and 83 Illinois Administrative Code Part 200, and may increase or decrease individual rates in amounts other than those requested by ComEd. All parties interested in this matter may obtain information with respect thereto either directly from ComEd or by addressing the Chief Clerk of the Illinois Commerce Commission, 527 East Capitol Avenue, Springfield, Illinois 62706.
