Union goes to court to block potential sale of Central Grocers

By BOB OKON

bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The union representing warehouse workers at Central Grocers has filed a lawsuit to block the potential sale of the company.

Joliet-based Central Grocers has not confirmed that it is in the process of being sold, although one store owner said the grocery co-op in late February did send a letter to its members suggesting the possibility.

The lawsuit was filed Tuesday, the same day the company announced that it was in the process of selling a chain of grocery stores it owns and that it would close the Ultra Foods store in Joliet, along with eight other stores.

Teamsters Local 703 in the lawsuit indicated that a sale of the entire company may already be in process.

A memo supporting the Teamsters’ motion at one point states that “Central has confirmed it intends to sell to an unknown purchaser.”

The lawsuit stated that an attorney for Central Grocers told the Teamsters that the company “had entered into a letter of

website states it supplies products to about 400 independent supermarket stores in the Chicago region, including northwest Indiana. Those stores included the two Certified Warehouse Foods supermarkets that closed in Joliet last week.

Certified owner Ken Clymer said he and other co-op members received a letter in late February advising them that Central Grocers was pursuing options, which he took to mean they were looking for a buyer.

“That’s pretty much how the letter read: We’re looking for someone to rescue us,” Clymer said.

Clymer said co-op members in 2016 did not receive the usual annual rebate they get for products bought from Central Grocers. At a company meeting in November, they were told the company experienced heavy losses, he said.

Central Grocers moved its corporate headquarters and distribution center to Joliet in 2009. The company has been in business since 1917 and distributes grocery products under the Centrella brand name.

Other member stores in Joliet and Will County include Berkot’s Super Foods and Tony’s Finer Foods.

Joliet moving ahead with turf plan for Slammers’ stadium

By BOB OKON

bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The city wants to put artificial turf in Slammers’ stadium before the end of the year.

The project, which includes some reconfiguration of the city-owned stadium to make the field available for soccer and other sports as well as baseball, is estimated to cost between $1.2 million and $1.6 million.

Staff is reviewing engineering proposals for the job, which are likely to go to the city council for a vote May 16, City Manager Jim Hock said.

The plan is to install the turf after baseball season, and have the entire project done before winter, he said.

The city plans to use money generated by a recently expanded business tax to pay for it, although not all at once.

“The city will pay the up-front cost and have the special service area reimburse the city over 11 or 12 years in a way that won’t

intent to sell its operations and/or facilities to an unidentified purchaser, but provided no other information relating to the intended sale.”

The Teamsters represent 300 employees at Central Grocers and are suing to ensure that the union contract will stay in place if the company or operations are sold.

The union does not represent employees at the supermarket chain owned by Central Grocers.

Central Grocers owns the Strack & Van Til chain, which includes Ultra Foods stores. Strack & Van Til announced Tuesday that Central Grocers was working with legal and financial advisers to sell 22 stores that will remain open as the company shuts down nine Ultra Foods stores.

Central Grocers has referred questions about its future to Joele Frank, a corporate communications firm in New York.

Employees at the firm said they could not comment on Central Grocers’ financial condition.

The primary business of Central Grocers is supplying groceries, including meat and produce, and other products to its member stores. The company on its

bankrupt them,” Hock said.

Joliet in December approved an expansion of the special service area property tax on downtown businesses to include businesses along Cass, Collins and South Chicago streets.

The expansion of the tax is expected to add $230,000 starting this year to the annual $400,000 the tax has generated in the past.

City officials have said they wanted to use the money for the stadium and economic development along the added business corridors. At one time, they said business owners in the new corridors would be consulted on how the money will be spent, but that has not happened yet.

Hock in March laid out his plan to use a portion of the tax over time to fund the stadium improvements.

“There will still be money left for things that will happen in the downtown area and the special service area,” he said.

Representatives from the City Center Partnership, which has overseen the use

of the SSA tax in the past, could not be reached Thursday for comments on the city’s plan for the money.

Hock said improvements at the stadium will benefit the surrounding areas.

“The city truly believes the artificial turf will create economic development opportunity for the downtown and surrounding area because of the additional events that will be held there,” he said.

Slammers President Nick Semaca is scheduled to make a presentation to the city council at its workshop meeting May 15 regarding the advantages of artificial turf.

Semaca said the stadium could host more travel tournaments and community events. The stadium now has natural grass, which has to be protected from overuse.

The redesign of a section of the stadium also would make room for more types of sports, including soccer.

“The plan is to configure the stadium to play just about anything,” Semaca said.

JJC professor gives tour of campus flora and fauna, says it may be at risk

By FELIX SARVER

fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – For professor Andy Neill, the beauty of the natural areas at Joliet Junior College is how they change through the seasons.

But one change that might “irreparably compromise” their features, as Neill put it, is a proposed road that is part of a development from Cullinan Properties for a lifestyle mall called Rock Run Crossings.

Although not opposed to the mall itself, Neill and the college’s natural areas committee have expressed concerns over the extension of County Farm Road to Houbolt Road, potentially cutting through a fen and other natural areas.

In light of this, Neill gave a group of students and faculty a tour Thursday of the fen and natural areas that might be affected by the proposed road. “[The fen is] part of our filter system of our waterways, part of the management of the watershed,” Neill said.

Cullinan Properties is working with an engineering firm and the U.S. Corps of Army Engineers to study the location of the County Farm Road extension and how to mitigate its effect, said Anaise Berry, the company’s marketing director.

“Nothing is set in stone. We got the location we think would be best.

We’re looking at the alternatives; we’re weighing all the options that are available,” Berry said.

JJC spokeswoman Kelly Rohder said in an email that the college supports the proposed development and that, as far as the County Farm Road extension is concerned, it is “important for us to take all perspectives into account,” including community feedback and a future Army engineers report on the effect of the development. She said the report wouldn’t be completed for about a year.

“In essence, we would like to have the results of the Army Corps report before we make any other recommendations,” Rohder said.

During the tour, Neill showed the group how the college manages the landscape and watershed of the natural areas that include not only the fen but the woodland, prairie and other types of land. He said the college spent a lot of time and money to pro-

“You’re not going to get a [bluebird] nesting in your backyard. They like these big, open, grassy areas where there’s plenty of insects.”

tect waterways and restore land.

Some of the species that grow in the fen and nearby areas Neill highlighted were the marsh marigold, Michigan lily and the federally endangered leaky prairie clover.

Neill said the leaky prairie clover doesn’t tolerate heavy disturbance and was grown at the campus because it had the right habitat.

“We’re quite fortunate,” he said.

Among the animals spotted on the tour were a red-tailed hawk and bluebird.

“You’re not going to get a [bluebird] nesting in your backyard. They

Neill said he plans to address the

Militello takes seat on Will County Board

By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The Will County Board welcomed a new member Thursday.

Debbie Militello, R-Channahon, was sworn in Thursday to a seat on the board

by Judge Ray Nash. Militello was nominated by the Will County Republican Central Committee to fill the vacant seat left by the resignation of former board member Ragan Freitag.

Militello said it’s a great honor to serve on the County Board.

“I am going to work hard,” she said.

“I promise to work hard and represent my district. I’m very excited.”

County Board Majority Leader Chuck Maher, R-Naperville, welcomed Militello to the board.

“She has a lot of experience in government, not only serving and working in different government bodies, but being an elected official herself,” Maher said. “I think she brings a lot of experience, and she will do a good job helping serve District 6.”

County Board Minority Leader Herb Brooks Jr., D-Joliet, congratulated Mi-

Will County looks to continue transit for eastern residents

By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Will County is looking to secure funds to continue its paratransit operations that serve residents of the eastern part of the county.

On Thursday morning, the Will County Board approved a resolution to seek $248,000 in funding from the Regional Transportation Authority to continue a transit program.

In 2016, Will County provided 7,425 trips using the program, according to a Will County Executive’s Office news release.

More than 1,750 of the trips were for disabled residents to jobs, school and workshops, the news release stated. The remaining trips were transportation for seniors to medical appointments, such as dialysis and physical therapy.

“Through our partnership with Pace Bus Service we have improved transit options for the residents in eastern Will County,” County Executive Larry Walsh Sr. said. “Wendie Garlich, our mobility manager, has done a great job ensuring these services are accessible and reliable for our residents who depend on them.”

A 2010 study that looked into the transit needs of the eastern portion of the county was a catalyst for the program.

In other news, the board also reached new intergovernmental agreements for electronic recycling services.

The county reached an agreement with Champaign County, which will host two electronic recycling events this year. Will County has a contract with a vendor that allows for up to a certain amount of electronic recycling collection a year.

According to County Board documents, the county has excess capacity under its recycling contract and can accommodate the total weight of products estimated to be collected at Champaign County’s two one-day collection events in 2017.

The board approved similar electronic recycling agreements with the city of Lockport and Channahon Township.

The resource recovery and energy division of the county’s land use department has been reaching agreements with various municipalities for electronic recycling events ever since a former vendor backed out of its contract with the county.

working with you.”

The retirement of former Will County Board Chief of Staff Bruce Friefeld set off a chain reaction of appointments. Freitag was chosen by County Board Speaker Jim Moustis, R-Frankfort, for the chief

of staff role. Freitag, of Wilmington, then resigned her seat on the board and left the Joliet law firm she worked for in February to take on the full-time duties as the board’s chief of staff.

The board had 60 days to fill the vacancy, according to state statute. Militello joins Don Gould, R-Shorewood, as District 6’s two representatives.

Militello, a chief deputy for Will County Treasurer Steve Weber, is resigning that seat in order to avoid a conflict of interest. She also resigned from the Channahon Village Board, of which she has been a member since 2003.

Those who wish to apply for Militello’s seat on the Channahon Village Board may send a resume to the village hall, at lanselme@channahon.org, by Monday.

The Channahon resident who is appointed will fill the remainder of Militello’s term, which expires in 2019.

Militello also is chairwoman of the Channahon Township Republicans, according to the Will County Republican Central Committee website. She was U.S. Rep. Jerry Weller’s congressional aide for 15 years.

Soldier who was killed in Pearl Harbor attack finally returns home to Joliet area

By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com A Lockport Township native who died in the Pearl Harbor attack more than 75 years ago is coming home.

Fireman 1st Class Michael Galajdik of the U.S. Navy was on the USS Oklahoma on Dec. 7, 1941, when Japan attacked Pearl Harbor and killed more than 2,300 Michael Americans.

Ever since, Galajdik’s Galajdik family has been waiting for the day that his remains would be identified and returned home. George Sternisha, of Crest Hill, has been working with the U.S. Navy in recent years, carrying on his mother’s wishes to get her brother home.

Sternisha got word in February that a positive identification of his uncle had been made. The Navy has tried many times to identify the remains of those who perished in the attack as DNA technology improves.

A funeral procession for Galajdik will depart 10:30 a.m. Saturday from Tezak’s Home to Celebrate Life, 1211

Plainfield Road in Joliet, to the Cathedral of St. Raymond Nonnatus, 604 N. Raynor Ave. in Joliet.

From there, the procession will go to Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery, where Galajdik will get a grave site burial, which typically don’t happen Saturdays.

Ginger Dudek, of Joliet, was contacted by her aunt, who assists with funeral arrangements at the cathedral and asked if Dudek could find a way to get American flags to line the route from Tezak’s to St. Raymond’s. Through Facebook, countless people said they would be glad to line the route and show patriotism and respect for Galajdik, who is the first Illinois resident who died in the Pearl Harbor attacks to be identified.

“This is how they used to do it,” Dudek said. “When someone was coming home, people would show up on the roadside to honor them.”

Dudek said there is no formality to it, but patriot groups will be on hand and others can certainly line the route, which is just over a mile long, from the funeral home to the cathedral.

Sternisha was in Hawaii on Thursday with the Navy and will return Friday with his uncle’s remains.

District 30-C OKs abating millions for Channahon warehouse project

By ANNA SCHIER

aschier@shawmedia.com CHANNAHON – Troy School District 30-C will abate several million in tax dollars in the coming years as part of an intergovernmental agreement for a new warehouse development in Channahon.

The district’s school board approved the item unanimously at its Wednesday meeting, Superintendent Todd Koehl said Thursday. It is one of

12 taxing bodies involved in the agreement.

“We always want to be a good neighbor,” board President Mark Griglione said Thursday of the board’s action.

The development will be located on a property at the southeast corner of Route 6 and Interstate 55 behind the Pilot Travel Center, Koehl said.

He also said the land is about 287 acres and that the developer intends to construct about 4 million square feet of warehouse storage space across

multiple buildings.

The district will abate 100 percent of its property taxes on the portion of the site that falls within district boundaries once work begins, which is expected to happen in June or July, Koehl said. The abatement will fund infrastructure needed by the developer, Crossroads 55 LLC, such as water lines and road improvements.

District abatements are estimated to total $2 million to $3 million through four to five years, Koehl said. Once the

development is complete, the property is expected to generate about $1 million in annual tax revenue for the district.

In addition to its long-term financial impact, the project also will improve safety, Griglione said. Planned work includes the installation of a stoplight at the intersection of Route 6 and a new frontage road to be constructed near the Pilot center, which will benefit district buses traveling through the area after making stops in nearby subdivisions.

Lincoln-Way D-210 OKs Lincoln-Way D-210 OKs work upping some student fees for roof, boiler replacement

By FELIX SARVER

fsarver@shawmedia.com NEW LENOX – The Lincoln-Way District 210 board approved increasing student fees for the next school year to cover testing and ongoing expenses.

The board unanimously approved Thursday for the cost of registration to be at $300, about $75 more than what was proposed; the driver education fee to remain at $250; parking at $125; and cap, gown and diploma fees at $21.

Superintendent Scott Tingley said the costs for registration increased because the technology fee was combined with it.

The fee schedule also will include an early bird discount if paid before June 15.

In comparison to Lincoln-Way, Plainfield School District 210 charges $210 for registration, $200 for driver education, $130 for athletic and activity and $90 for student parking.

District 230 charges $225 for registration, $75 for technology, $150 for driver education, $50 for student parking and $20 for cap, gown and diploma.

Activity and athletic fees

The board discussed having fees for athletic and activity participation. The item was tabled for further research by the district.

Tingley said the fees have not been implemented at the district before, but they would be considered as a possible means to cover costs associated with sports and activities, such as salaries, maintenance and equipment.

Board Vice President Christine Glatz said she “struggled” with charging a fee for activities because she preferred that students and parents raise funds. But board member Joe Kirkeeng said the “money would have to come from somewhere,” especially with the uncertainty of state funding.

Board member Christopher Lucchetti said the board would need more information on the extent of fundraising for activities and sports before considering charging fees for them.

fsarver@shawmedia.com NEW LENOX – The Lincoln-Way District 210 board approved bids to replace a boiler and the roof at Lincoln-Way Central High School.

At Thursday’s meeting, the board unanimously approved a base bid of $468,484 from Regan Heating for the boiler replacement and a base bid of $238,970 from Elens & Maichin Roofing & Sheet Metal for the roof replacement.

The total bid for the roof replacement, including the five alternates,

is $606,640.

Board member Ronald Lullo asked Rich Wilkey, the district’s buildings and grounds director, if he knew of any other fees associated with the boiler replacement project. Wilkey replied that architect fees could arise, but the exact amount would not be known until the project is completed.

Wilkey said the district has not worked with Regan Heating before, but DLA Architects had researched the company. The district had worked with Elens & Maichin before, Wilkey said.

“We are satisfied with them,” he said.

Nine bidders were reviewed for the boiler replacement project, which also will include a $20,000 contingency allowance, according to a recommendation letter from DLA Architects.

The need for a boiler replacement was brought up at the district’s Finance and Building committee meeting in February. Superintendent Scott Tingley said the boiler needed to be replaced because it was 47 years old and damaged.

For the roof replacement project, eight bidders were reviewed for the project.

Capital projects plan

The board also reviewed a conceptual draft of a 10-year capital projects plan for work needed on all four school buildings.

For 2018, the total amount in capital projects work was projected to be about $1.6 million. In 2019, the projected amount would increase to about $3.3 milFelix Sarver – fsarver@shawmedia.com lion. The work would involve various Lincoln-Way District 210 officials meet Thursday for a board meeting in Lincoln-Way upgrades, replacements, renovations and life-safety survey requirements.

Soybeans have become more important to area farmers

By ALLISON SELK

Shaw Media correspondent

Corn is at a high surplus this season due to technology and genetics, which allowed farmers to grow better yields than in the past.

an acre.

“Guys are now adopting new technology and paying closer attention to soybeans than they did in the past,” Connor said.

Although soybeans seem to be the way to go, Jeschke said farmers know the dangers of planting soybeans after soybeans on the same field due to a risk of disease, and will continue to rotate crops, and plant corn. Country-wide it was predicted that 3 million fewer acres of corn will be planted and 3 million more acres of soybeans will be planted for 2017, Jeschke said.

“A 50/50 rotation is about as heavy

of a soybean cycle you want to get here with our soil in Grundy County because of the risk of disease,” Jeschke said.

Jeschke said even though farmers have lost money the past couple of years, there are hopes they took advantage of the higher-priced years and saved and used techniques to save on costs now.

He said that between the years of 2007 and 2015 corn crops led to financially good times, with the exception of the drought of 2012, and when farmers make money, they tend to spend it to pay down debt, pay ahead and buy new equipment.

“The inventory of items to make farming possible should be in pretty good shape, and some farmers are able to cut back now on making purchases on those large items because they have a good line-up,” Jeschke said.

He also said farmers can find other ways to make up for the costs that were lost by cutting the use of fertilizer on land that they feel has been fertilized enough the year before, buying seed brands from three to four years ago which have lower prices, using generic herbicides, and negotiating land rents for those who farm rented land.

Connor said farmers may have old crop corn sitting on the farm and even thought the cash price is low, the yields were phenomenal, so there is more to sell. In order to capture a good price, Connor suggests selling corn early between March 20 and June 16 for the 2017 harvest in order to lock in a rate the farmer may feel is a good price. It also gets some sales on the books, rather than being forced to sell in October at the only price available.

Connor said that, for now, he sees a trend in more soybeans being planted to rescue from bad corn prices due to bankers putting pressure on their farming clients to plant soybeans because loans are less and soybeans cost less to plant, and a high demand in the Chinese markets which he said is “strong and ramping up.”

• Friday, April 21, 2017

Grundy County farmer Paul Jeschke said that for the first time in 20 years, he will plant equal acres of corn and soybeans this 2017 planting season due to the low price of corn and higher prices of soybeans at sale.

“This is nothing new. Anyone with any amount of farming under their belt can look at the cyclical nature of farming,” Jeschke said.

Jeschke also serves as a volunteer on the Illinois Corn Marketing Board and said the hits farmers have been taking the past couple of years due to low corn prices are forecasted to be the same this year due to two main reasons.

One reason was due to the technology and genetics, which allowed farmers to grow better yields than in the past.

He said farmers have doubled what they can produce in the past 25 to 30 years due to genetics and GMO technologies.

The second reason corn was at a high surplus was due to the short-term good weather, except the 2012 drought, but from 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016 farmers grew bumper crops, and surplus builds quickly.

FS Grain, LLC Business Development Manager Rodney Connor said in Grundy County farmers have grown 190 to 200 bushels per acre of corn, compared with five years ago, when farmers were getting 180 to 185 bushels per acre. He also said in the last five years Grundy County farmers have grown a ratio of 70 percent corn and 30 percent soybeans, but in 2017, the ratio was predicted to be closer to 50/50.

Grundy County Farm Bureau Manager Victoria Wax said in Grundy County there are about 217,000 acres of farmland in production with 48 percent used to grow corn. Connor said in 2013, 112,000 acres of corn were planted on farms in Grundy County. In 2016 the number of acres of corn planted was down to 104,500.

“This is typical. Every farmer knew it was going to happen. High corn yields lead to low prices. In 2012 and 2013 farmers were ramping up the corn production, which led to the decrease in price.

Because corn was king, guys threw all their money at corn and ran out of money when it came to soybeans,” Connor said.

Connor said soybeans now are more profitable, with large jumps in production. He said that five years ago, a farmer could yield 45 to 50 bushels an acre and now they see 60 up to 65 bushels

We are a family owned business and take care of the Hard-working people of our community,” Kinney said. Tyson Motors Opened its doors in Joliet in 1986 and moved to its shorewood location in 2000.

The environment is a Welcome one from the time you step on the lot and enter the showroom. Two of Tyson Motor Corporation best selling vehicles are the Ram and Cherokee.

Ram, perfect for work and play

Ram not only looks good, it also works for you! Ram stands out in any crowd for its “big rig” front end and aerodynamic style – unusual in the boxy pickup market – while offering a choice of three cabs, seating for three to six, and two- or -four-wheel drive. Either way, look beyond the style and see the utility.

The Ram 1500, is a workhorse even without options. The base model seats three across in comfort, is powered by a 3.6-liter V6 with 305 hp linked to a smooth-shifting eight-speed automatic, and features such Ram 1500 is a workhorse that can be more workhorse attributes as front and rear heavy-duty shock absorbers and a 5-foot 7-inch cargo box. According finely tuned to your needs with the available to Jim Kinney, General Manager at Tyson Motors, Ram Trucks are always big sellers. Tyson Sells Ram 1500, RamBox cargo box storage system 2500 and 3500, they can tow anything from a small pop-up camper to a fairly good-sized boat. Tyson’s Ram customers include just about anyone for Everyday driving to small business needs. Two things make it stand out, it’s smooth comfortable ride and it’s low price point just a shade over $26,000, whereas rivals in it’s class such as the Ford F150 and Chevy Silverado start at near or above $28,000.

Ram is offered in an impressive wide lineup, you can pick the model with the standards you need. Or you can pick one model and build on that. For example, the Express comes with the standards above, but offers the options of four-wheel-drive, a hefty 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 with 395 hp, and cab configurations that seat up to six. Quad Cab adds a nifty feature: reverse rear door hinges that make the opening wider and loading and unloading more convenient.

Add Ram’s exclusive RamBox storage system, and the cargo box becomes an on-the-job tool and equipment organizer. For heavier loads, add the Active-Level Cargo Management System with automatic load leveling.

Shaw Media correspondent LOCKPORT – Lockport officials are considering development plans for new construction at the Lockport Square shopping center, which will include a Panera Bread.

Adam Firsel, a partner with Lockport Gateway LLC, presented the proposal for the 7,940-square-foot, twotenant building at the development site located on the corner of Interstate 355 and 159th Street to the city council’s committee of the whole Wednesday night.

According to the proposal, the Panera Bread will include a drive-thru and an outdoor seating area.

The measure is expected to be ap-

a Holiday Inn Express to the shopping center.

In January, representatives for the owners said a movie theater also was interested in building at the site, but also would want a tax rebate as incentive.

Benson said that the city is working with the owners and the movie theater and that a tax rebate proposal should come to the city council in the next couple of months, at which time the name of the theater will be announced.

As for the hotel, it also is expected to bring a preliminary plan and permit requests to the planning and zoning commission at about the same time, Benson said.

With development progressing at Lockport Square, the city has started

the process to market the north side of 159th Street.

The city council Wednesday night approved annexation and zoning ordinances for two unincorporated properties on 159th Street – Rocco’s Pub and Body Magic Auto Body – which includes a residence at the front.

The vote for approval took place after public hearings for both properties at which no members of the public spoke.

City Attorney Tom Thanas said that, with annexation, the city will be able help repair the properties “for potential development as the 159th Street Commercial corridor continues with development. As you see with the Panera project, it’s clear that new businesses are coming.”

New Lenox fire chief to retire Former Ind. deputy

By BRIAN STANLEY

bstanley@shawmedia.com NEW LENOX – After 45 years in fire service and three years running the New Lenox Fire Protection District, Steve Engledow will retire June 23.

Engledow, who was a Joliet firefighter for 28 years and Troy fire chief for five years, said Thursday, “It’s time for the younger group to take over.”

He said the fire board of trustees will choose his replacement at a later date, but he will not be involved in the hiring pro- Steve cess.

Engledow Engledow said he was hired in New Lenox to reorganize the department, splitting some jobs and condensing others while clarifying who some responsibilities were assigned to.

He also enacted a line-item budget to control spending each year and implemented an equipment replacement schedule.

“Some apparatus and equipment need to be replaced every other year or every third year,” Engledow said. “Scheduling keeps you from needing to replace two or three ambulances as you go into your budget year.”

Engledow grew up in Harvey, moved to Frankfort when he was 15 and attended

“That’s where I met a Frankfort volunteer (firefighter), and they needed people during the day, which I could do, so I joined Frankfort and I really enjoyed it. I like helping people,” Engledow said.

He enjoyed it enough to abandon his plans for a career in dentistry. After serving as a Country Club Hills firefighter, he became a Joliet firefighter and eventually rose to deputy chief. He also served as a part-time assistant chief for the East Joliet Fire Department before taking over the Troy Fire Protection District.

Engledow said he advises any firefighters beginning their careers to pursue as much education as possible.

“The fire service becomes more technical every year,” he said. “You need a bachelor’s degree for administration, and I think a master’s degree is going to start becoming the requirement.”

Engledow will be moving to South Carolina, where he has owned property for several years, but he and his wife, Sherry, will return to the area to visit relatives and friends.

“I’m done with fire service, but I will have to find something to do,” Engledow said. “Sailing is still my favorite thing. I’d like to find a boat down there that needs some work. That will keep me busy.”

extension, saying he will speak on behalf of the natural areas committee and other campus groups that are opposed to it.

He said there’s a natural gas pipeline that runs near the fen, and if the proposed road can’t go over it, then it would go over the fen, a wetland that acts like a sponge, absorbing excess water and slowly releasing the water throughout the growing season.

“It’s just an inappropriate place to put a road,” Neill said.

Berry said Cullinan Properties has documented the gas pipelines that ex-

ist in the development but hasn’t determined whether any of the proposed new roads would pass over them.

If they did, she said the company doesn’t believe it would be a hindrance and believes that proper precautions would be taken.

JJC board Chairman Robert Wunderlich said that the majority of the board is in favor of the Rock Run Crossings development, and although he understands the concerns of the JJC natural areas committee, he thinks the effect of the road is speculation at this point. He said the college is waiting on other agencies such as the army engineers to determine the road’s effect.

“We don’t know what’s going to happen,” he said.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. – Ruth Sulzberger Holmberg, longtime publisher of The Chattanooga Times and a member of the family that controls The New York Times, has died at her home in that Tennessee city. She was 96.

Holmberg was the granddaughter of Adolph S. Ochs, the patriarch of The Chattanooga Times who gained prominence as Ruth publisher of The New Sulzberger York Times early in the 20th century. The Chattanooga Times Free Press said her death Wednesday was confirmed by her family.

It said Holmberg was born Ruth Rachel Sulzberger in New York City and that she worked as a reporter at The New York Times while in high school. She later graduated from Smith College and arrived in Chattanooga in 1946 after serving as a Red Cross nurse in Europe for a time in World War II, according to the account. Early on, Holmberg served as art and theater critic for The Chattanooga Times.

In her early years as publisher of The Chattanooga Times, she led through turbulent times as her paper staked out positions in support of the civil rights movement. Under her watch, the paper also gained a reputation for feisty reporting that didn’t shy from tackling corruption, environmental contamination and other misdeeds.

Arthur O. Sulzberger Jr., chairman of The New York Times Co. and publisher, called his aunt a “towering and courageous figure in journalism.”

“As publisher of The Chattanooga Times in Tennessee for nearly 30 years, she championed independent journalism that challenged racial segregation, uncovered political corruption and industrial pollution,” his statement said.

He added that she inspired countless women and men to enter journalism.

As a civic leader in Chattanooga for many years, she also was credited with making lasting contributions to its development.

The Heritage Funeral Home in Chattanooga told The Associated Press it was handling arrangements.

Schock asks court to toss corruption case

By MICHAEL TARM The Associated Press

CHICAGO – Former U.S. Rep. Aaron Schock asked a federal judge Thursday to throw out his corruption case, arguing that the charges are grounded on ambiguous House spending rules and that his prosecution undermines longstanding protections for members of Congress.

The 2016 indictment accuses the once-rising GOP star of illegally seeking reimbursement in government funds for lavish spending, including $5,000 on a chandelier for his Washington office, which he was redecorating in the style of the “Downton Abbey” TV series.

Schock’s new filing points to a host of House rules that it says are imprecise, including ones barring reimbursement for the purchase of “furniture.” The rules don’t define the word and, it says, it’s “entirely unclear whether [a chandelier] would be considered furniture.”

In a filing earlier this week, prosecutors denied allegations Schock’s attorneys made in March that investigators crossed legal lines by recruiting a confidential informant from Schock’s staff. Thursday’s filing doesn’t directly

Lawmakers ponder proposal to legalize marijuana

CHICAGO – The head of Colorado’s Department of Revenue has spoken to Illinois legislators considering a proposal to legalize marijuana in the state.

The department’s executive director, Barbara Brohl, told lawmakers during a hearing Wednesday that she believes the legal market for marijuana is eating into the black market, funding drug abuse treatment and prevention, and providing a safer product, The Chicago Tribune reported.

Proposed legislation in Illinois would allow possession of up to an ounce of pot by people who are at least 21 years old.

Smoking in public would be prohibited, and driving under the influence would remain illegal.

Former Illinois U.S. Rep. Aaron Schock talks to reporters Nov. 10 in Peoria Heights.

Schock, who resigned in 2015, has asked a judge to toss the corruption case against him, arguing that authorities misinterpreted the law and overreached. Lawyers for the Illinois Republican filed the motion to dismiss the case Thursday. Schock has pleaded not guilty to mail fraud, theft of government funds and other crimes. address that issue.

Schock, who resigned in 2015 as scrutiny of his spending intensified, has pleaded not guilty to the charges, which include wire fraud, theft of gov-

ernment funds and falsification of election commission filings. His trial is set to begin July 10.

A spokeswoman for the U.S. attorney’s office in Springfield, Sharon

won’t get a vote this legislative season, but they’re beginning a series of hearings on how to craft a potential law.

“Prohibition doesn’t work,” said Sen. Heather Steans, a Chicago Democrat.

Steans said taxing and regulating pot would create jobs and generate an estimated $350 million to $700 million a year in tax revenues for debt-ridden Illinois.

Brohl said that in Colorado, the roughly $200 million in tax revenue from more than $1 billion in sales last year also provides $40 million for schools.

Eastern Illinois to continue hosting track championships

BLOOMINGTON – The running, vaulting, jumping and throwing will continue at Eastern Illinois University through 2022.

The Illinois High School Association board of directors approved a recommendation this week to extend the Eastern Illinois hosting contract for the IHSA Track & Field State Final at O’Brien Stadium.

The five-year extension is for both boys and girls meets.

Eastern Illinois athletic director Tom Michael said the IHSA track championship has been “a vital part of the community” for decades. He said it’s a great way to introduce the Charleston-based school to thousands of visitors.

Paul, declined to comment on Schock’s new filing.

In it, Schock’s attorneys said the House often intends for spending rules to be vague in order to give legislators latitude in how to spend.

“Because Congress, and Congress alone, possesses the constitutional power to create and enforce House rules, a criminal prosecution cannot be premised on ... interpretation of ambiguous House rules,” it says.

Doing so strikes at a foundation of the American system of government, the separation of powers, the attorneys wrote.

“The wide-ranging Indictment against Mr. Schock repeatedly trespasses on land the Constitution reserves for Congress,” they wrote, adding that the rules are “so ambiguous as to invite” arbitrary enforcement by the country’s U.S. attorneys.

Schock first garnered national attention after appearing on the cover of Men’s Health showing off his six-pack abs.

He also successfully marketed himself during six years in Congress as an unwavering fiscal conservative.

If convicted of wire fraud, Schock could be sentenced to up to 20 years in prison.

Aldermen want police to discuss anti-texting tools

CHICAGO – Two Chicago aldermen want the city’s police to look into using technology that would detect if motorists involved in injury accidents were texting while driving.

Chicago City Council Finance Committee Chairman Edward Burke and Transportation Committee Chairman Anthony Beale introduced the resolution Wednesday.

The so-called “textalyzer” is a device that can access a cellphone’s operating system to check whether it was being used to text or email. It has raised concerns of civil libertarians.

The aldermen want Chicago police to appear before the council “to address the use of emerging technology” in enforcing the city’s existing traffic laws and investigation of vehicle crashes.

Burke said he thinks drivers text “because they think there is little chance of ever getting caught.” He said the behavior threatens other motorists, cyclists and pedestrians.

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS Security already has been a Trump hails Italy for role in Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan dominant theme in the campaign,

WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump on Thursday hailed Italy’s contributions to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and its efforts seeking stability in Libya, but dismissed the possibility of U.S. intervention in that country, saying the U.S. has “enough roles.”

After a White House meeting with Italian Prime Minister Paolo Gentiloni, Trump stuck to his demand that European allies meet their financial obligations in their partnerships with the U.S., including NATO. He urged Italy to address the refugee crisis through a policy that “seeks the eventual return of refugees to their home countries so they can help to rebuild their own nations.”

Gentiloni, who took office in December, stressed the need for burden-sharing in the refugee crisis, given Italy’s proximity to Libya, where large numbers of migrants take the risky voyage across the Mediterranean to reach Europe.

GM quits Venezuela after government seizes factory

By JUAN CARLOS HERNANDEZ and JOSHUA GOODMAN The Associated Press

VALENCIA, Venezuela – General Motors announced Thursday that it was shuttering its operations in Venezuela after authorities seized its factory in the country, a move that could draw the Trump administration into the escalating chaos engulfing the South American nation amid days of deadly protests.

The plant in the industrial city of Valencia was confiscated Wednesday as anti-government protesters clashed with security forces and pro-government groups in a country battered by economic troubles, including food shortages and triple-digit inflation. Three people were killed and hundreds arrested in the deadliest day of protests since the unrest began three weeks ago.

The seizure arose from an almost 20-year-old lawsuit brought by a former GM dealership in western Venezuela. The dealership had been seeking damages from GM of 476 million bolivars – about $665 million at the official exchange rate, or $115 million on the black market where many Venezuelans are forced to turn to sell their increasingly worthless currency. GM said it was notified this week that a low-level court ordered the seizure of its plant, bank accounts and other assets in the country.

Hundreds of workers desperate for information about their jobs gathered at the plant Thursday to meet with government and military officials, as well as representatives of the dealership that brought the lawsuit. The neglected factory hasn’t produced a car since 2015 but GM still has 79 dealers that employ 3,900 people in Venezuela, where for decades it was the market leader.

General Motors’ announcement came as Venezuela’s opposition moved to keep up pressure on President Nicolas Maduro, taking to the

streets again Thursday a day after the biggest anti-government demonstrations in years.

It’s not the first time the Venezuelan government has seized a foreign corporation’s facilities. Last July, the government said it would take over a factory belonging to Kimberly-Clark Corp. after the American personal care giant said it was halting manufacturing because materials weren’t available in Venezuela.

But the move against GM, the U.S.’s biggest automaker, was a much more powerful statement, and could lead to a further erosion of relations between the two countries.

“This is a test case for Trump,” said Raul Gallegos, a Bogota-based analyst at Control Risks consultancy. “His response to a rogue nation taking over the assets of a brand name U.S. company will be indicative of the road it wants to take with Venezuela.”

The State Department said Thursday it was reviewing details of the GM case but called on authorities to act swiftly and transparently to resolve the dispute.

“A fair, predictable and transparent judicial system is critical to implementing the essential economic reforms critical to restoring growth and addressing the needs of the Venezuelan people,” State Department spokesman Mark Toner said.

Later Thursday, Maduro said he had called for an investigation into cellphone operator Movistar for allegedly being part of the “coup-minded march” organized by adversaries of his government. He said the subsidiary of Spain’s Telefonica “sent millions of messages to users every two hours” in support of Wednesday’s protests.

Tens of thousands of protesters took to the streets again Thursday to demand elections and denounce what they consider an increasingly dictatorial government. They were met by a curtain of tear gas and rubber bullets as they tried to march to downtown Caracas.

Happily still discovering the secrets to marriage VIEWS Scott Reeder SPRINGFIELD – Years ago, I was out on a first date with a woman when my Labrador retriever urinated all over the woman’s blouse.

I stood there stunned looking at the wet spot dripping down her side and I thought: “There goes any chance of a second date.”

Instead the woman, a veterinarian, gave me a grin and said, “Don’t worry about it, it’s the third time its happened to me this week.”

Call me a hopeless romantic, but I knew at that moment, this was the woman I would marry. She had grace under pressure.

This week, we celebrate our 14th wedding anniversary.

Spouses don’t come with instructions and I’ll admit that even after 14 years I’m at times bewildered as to how to respond to some situations.

But I do know this: She is the love of my life and puts up with me despite my many shortcomings.

She completes me.

When we wed, friends felt the need to offer advice.

Perhaps they came plying their unsolicited guidance because I entered the world of matrimony later than most. I was 38.

Regardless, their advice, while well intentioned, was not always full of merit.

For example, a twice-divorced college buddy told me: “Never hold anything back. Always tell her exactly what you are thinking. And when she does something you don’t like, make sure she knows it.”

On the other hand, a relative gave me this sage bit of wisdom: “Marriage is something you should go into with your eyes wide open and through with them half shut.”

When I ran this adage by my father, who ultimately was married to my mother for 58 years, he would just smile.

His folks were married 74 years, and my mother’s parents’ marriage lasted until the eve of their 50th anniversary, when a bad heart felled my grandfather.

They set good examples.

I only hope my wife, Joan, and I can provide an even better example for our three daughters.

If they ever ask the secret to a happy marriage I’ll say this: love, forgive and never give up.

Happy anniversary, dear.

Prince Harry is a role model for mental health

Britain’s Prince Harry did himself a world of good by seeking professional help for psychological problems stemming from the 1997 death of his mother, Princess Diana. He did the world a favor by talking publicly about his struggles – a step that might help people on both sides of the Atlantic come to a better understanding of mental illness and encourage those who need help to seek it.

Harry told his story Sunday in a podcast on the website of The Telegraph, Britain’s leading broadsheet. In an interview lasting nearly 30 minutes, he spoke of the rage he felt for years after his mother’s tragic death in a crash in a Paris traffic tunnel and his struggle to understand his feelings. “I just didn’t know what was wrong with me,” he said.

The prince was 12 at the time of his mother’s death, which came about a year after Di-

ana’s ugly divorce from Prince Charles. It was followed by years of speculation about whether the fatal crash – which also killed her boyfriend, Dodi Fayed, and their driver, Henri Paul – was anything more sinister than an accident.

Harry said he tried to cope by “shutting down all of my emotions for the last 20 years.”

Despite the “total chaos” he sometimes felt and his fear of imminent breakdowns, he said, “I’ve spent most of my life saying I’m fine.”

When he finally did start talking about his mother, the 32-year-old said, “all of this grief that I have never processed started to come to the forefront.”

With the encouragement of his brother, Prince William, he sought professional help about four years ago.

Harry was the first guest on a 10-episode podcast, “Mad World,” that will explore mental illness

through the eyes of prominent people.

The interview showed a different side of a royal with a party-boy reputation. If Harry can struggle with mental illness, everyone else can, too. There is no shame in seeking treatment, and relatives should do as William did in encouraging a loved one to seek professional help.

Last year, Harry, William and Williams’ wife, Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge, founded Heads Together, a charity dedicated to addressing the stigma of mental illness, and Harry hinted at his troubles.

Then again, Diana spent her life in the trenches, leveraging her celebrity for various causes, and she was candid about her own bulimia, depression and alienation from Charles’ family.

Harry may be very much his mother’s son.

EARLY SHOWDOWN

Lockport wins 20th straight, edges Lincoln-Way Central

By CURT HERRON

cherron@shawmedia.com LOCKPORT – The boys volleyball teams from Lockport and Lincoln-Way Central not only look to challenge for the title in the SouthWest Suburban Conference, but also figure to be in the mix as their subsectional’s top team, who will play in the Edwardsville Sectional finals.

So that’s why Thursday’s meeting between the Porters and Knights in both teams’ SWSC openers took on extra significance, and as one might expect of such a clash, the final outcome wasn’t determined until both sides had taken matters to the wire.

Lockport saw a big early lead slip away in an opening loss, but won fairly easily in the middle set and then pulled out a nail-biter in the finale to rally for a, 23-25, 25-18, 25-23, home victory.

The Porters (22-1, 1-0), who won 24 matches a year ago, now have won 20 in a row this season since suffering their only defeat March 25 to Downers Grove North in the Marist Invite.

Central (15-3, 0-1) saw its nine-match winning streak come to a halt.

“One thing that this group definitely is is resilient,” Porters coach Nick Mraz said. “We’ve been in so many three-set matches and a couple now where we lost the first set, but we’ve never put our heads down, and that’s something that’s unique about this team. Lincoln-Way Central is probably the best team that we’ve played, so we knew that it would be tough.

“In the third set, there were two

Conference is important, but the guys know who’s in the sectional, and it’s so competitive, so to get a win like that is

absolutely huge. You want to do what you can to be ready for it, and challenging matches like this are going to help our guys know how to react in the playoffs.”

Neither side led by more than two

points in the final set, and throughout most of it, things were either tied or one team owned just a one-point advantage.

28 AREA ROUNDUP

Joliet West guard Teyvion Kirk chooses Ohio U STAFF, SUBMITTED REPORTS

JOLIET – Joliet West standout senior guard Teyvion Kirk has made his decision. He will continue his basketball career at NCAA Division I Ohio University in the Mid-American Conference.

The 6-foot-4 senior committed to Drake earlier but decommitted during his senior season. He chose Ohio over several other D-I suitors.

The Bobcats finished 20-11 in 2016-17 under coach Saul Phillips.

Kirk was a finalist for The Herald-News player of the year honors.

He averaged 19.5 points, 4.3 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 2.2 steals, while leading the Tigers to a 26-4 season that ended with a 78-66 loss to Bolingbrook in the sectional finals. He was an Illinois Basketball Coaches Association Class 3A/4A second-team All-State selection, an Associated Press Class 4A honorable-mention All-Stater and the Southwest Prairie Conference MVP.

Central took its last lead at 18-17 on an ace by Jack Yurkanin (13 kills), but a kill and block by Justin Elliott (nine kills, two blocks) and a kill by Anthony Pfeiffer (10 kills, 15 assists) helped the hosts take a 24-22 lead, and after Yurkanin got another kill, Pfeiffer closed out the match with a final kill.

“I’m very proud of my team’s winning streak, but I think that we still have a lot more to show and to prove since this is just the start of it,” Pfeiffer said. “We were really excited about the first game in conference, but we let the game go with our serve-receive in the beginning but our serve-receive came back 100 percent and allowed us to win. Coach wanted us to be able to adjust to what they were doing, and that’s what we did and how we got the win.”

In the middle set, Central took a 1312 lead on a kill by Yurkanin, but the Porters responded with a 5-0 spurt featuring kills from Elliott and Pfeiffer to go up, 17-13, and the visitors were unable to get any closer than three points back after that as Kyle Dixon (five kills), Elliott and Matt Dalton delivered key kills down the stretch.

team has come together really well,” Dalton said. “Having all of those players that played last year coming back and having experience at the varsity level mixed with the new people that we have has created a great environment to be in. Our team bonds really well, and that’s what keeps it fun.

Our energy is what’s going to keep us going, and I think our bond is what’s going to keep us pushing forward this year.”

Lockport jumped out to a quick 10-4 lead in the first set, but the Knights answered with a 10-0 run with Mason Davis (nine kills) serving up ninestraight points while Joe Claffy and Yurkanin each supplied two kills. The Porters pulled to within 15-14 on a kill

The Porters also received 18 assists from Dan Provenzano, six kills from Noah Speechley, and 15 digs from Tim Behland, while the Knights also got 28 assists from Andy Stevens and five kills from Willy Kickert.

“We’re still a work in progress,” Knights coach Mary Brown said. “I was a little disappointed with our serve-receive. Our blocking, which normally is a strength, really was not on for us, and we just didn’t put it away; we gave them too many chances.

WOMEN’S RUGBY

THE RUGBY INFLUENCE

By DICK GOSS

THE CAMARADERIE

What always holds true, regardless of wins or losses, is the Morrigans are more than an athletic team.

“That’s the thing about the Morrigans, they integrate everyone into this camaraderie they have,” Harris-John said.

They were not about to allow Hart, after her many years of service to the team and organization, to enter retirement without doing something special. That happened last week, during the final home game of the season at

Jennifer Hart is retiring as a player after 13 seasons with the County Will Morrigans women’s rugby team.

Central Park in Manhattan.

“It was pretty amazing,” Harris-John said. “She likes unicorns, and they gave her a pony with a unicorn on its head.”

“Yeah, I had my retirement match over the weekend,” Hart said. “I started and played a good portion of it. I may be retiring, but my heart will always be out there on the field, and I’ll never be completely away from it.”

Meanwhile, in her final season, Hart continues to get in the middle of the action and contribute.

“Jennifer plays in our front row, she’s in the scrums,” Harris-John said. “The best way I can describe her is she is a solid pillar.”

“Pinto is always ready to help teammates at practice by giving them tricks she learned throughout her career,” Verbic said. “Even today, no

matter how much pain she is in, she is always booted up and ready to play any position needed.”

Some may question Hart’s sanity.

“I remember my dad saying, ‘Why jeopardize your health to play some stupid sport?’ she said with a laugh.

“I feel the pain and the bumps and bruises, but they are temporary. Rugby has opened so many doors for me.”

One was the opportunity to teach at East Aurora.

“I probably would not have my job if not for a former NIU rugby player helping me get it,” she said.

Hart’s boyfriend, Ryan Stoddard, has a long association with the Will County Shamrocks and the Chicago Blaze rugby organizations. The couple met and have traveled around the country and even to South Africa, thanks to rugby.

• Friday, April 21, 2017

Jennifer “Pinto Bean” Hart, a Bolingbrook High School graduate, was a Northern Illinois University student in 1995.

“I was talking about how I was going to do the flag football thing during Thanksgiving,” she recalled. “Somebody said, ‘Why not try rugby?’ “ Why not?

“My whole world opened up once I got out there and got to tackle someone,” she said. “I was always afraid of playing sports because of not making it, or not being accepted.

“I found a camaraderie with rugby.

I was hooked. It has helped shape me as a person and professionally. It helps to be around strong women.”

Hart is a science teacher at East Aurora High School, and at age 40, still plays rugby, although that will end soon, as Hart is retiring.

The County Will Morrigans will play at 11 a.m. Saturday in Milwaukee against the Milwaukee Scylla in the semifinals of the Midwest playoffs. Hart has been with the Morrigans for 13 seasons, virtually since their inception.

“We won the Chicago Area Rugby Football Union; it’s one of four sections in the Midwest,” Morrigans coach David Harris-John noted. “The top teams from each section play in the semifinals this weekend, and the winner of the Midwest championship game next week will go to the [Division II] nationals.”

“Twenty-two years is a long time to be playing rugby and is hard on the body,” said Annie Verbic, one of Hart’s teammates. “We are hoping to go all the way to the nationals this year, as every year, but it would be extra special to us if we could go while Jen is still on the team.”

“We haven’t crossed the first hurdle yet,” Harris-John reminded. “Scylla beat us last year at this stage. But maybe we can surprise someone. This team, I think, is a grade or two above last year’s.”

Working for the Morrigans off the field, in addition to playing, has helped formulate Hart’s adult life.

“I have learned money management, time management, how to be a president or a secretary of an organization,” she said. “You need all these people to make a team successful.

“Rugby is a great common denominator. I never would have met so many good people without it. They all have a passion, a love, for the game, and they’re willing to put themselves out there when they’re playing.”

Hart said the hardest thing for her was to step away from rugby for a while a few years ago so she could complete work on her master’s degree.

“That time gave me a lot of perspective,” she said. “A few of the younger players on the team took on more of the administrative roles, and that helped me come back and enjoy my last couple of years playing.”

As for her nickname, she said she actually received it when she was in high school, before she began playing rugby.

“I’ve heard worse,” she said. “I got my nickname in high school when some friends were naming everyone by nicknames.

“There were four or five other Jennifers in college. I said you guys can call me Pinto Bean. Usually in rugby, you do something stupid and that gives you a nickname.”

Something other than your given name can come in handy.

“I’ll shop at a Walmart or Target, and I might run into one of my students,” she said. “As a teacher, you are always ‘on.’ But in rugby you are able to let your guard down. It’s sometimes good when you get away from everything and have an alias.”

The attitude Hart brings to the Morrigans, on and off the field, is infectious.

“A teammate put together a slide show to music, with the lyric ‘Til The Day I Die,’ and we all really believe that,” she said.

“I’m on the sideline,” Harris-John said of his role as coach. “I wave the baton and conduct. All I ask the girls to do is look me in the eye when they come off the field and tell me they did their best. No coach can ask for more than that.”

Whenever the 2017 playoff trek ends for the Morrigans, Hart’s playing career will be over. In one way or another, however, she is sure to keep rugby in her life. She plans to give back to the sport that has given her so much.

“There’s not enough I can do,” she said.

Blackhawks goalie Corey Crawford takes a drink as Nashville Predators fans cheer after Predators defenseman Roman Josi scored during the second period of Game 4 of the first-round playoff series Thursday in Nashville, Tenn.

PREDATORS 4, BLACKHAWKS 1

Predators beat Blackhawks to complete the sweep

By STEVE MEGARGEE The Associated Press

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Roman Josi scored twice, Pekka Rinne had 30 saves and the Nashville Predators beat the Blackhawks, 4-1, on Thursday night to complete a surprising sweep of the Western Conference’s top seed.

Colton Sissons also scored and Viktor Arvidsson added an empty-net goal as Nashville completed the franchise’s first playoff sweep. Led by Rinne and a terrific defensive performance by their lines and defensive pairings, the Predators limited the high-scoring Hawks to just three goals in 13 periods.

Nashville will face the winner of the St. Louis-Minnesota series in the second round. The Blues have a 3-1 lead heading into Game 5 on Saturday in Minnesota.

The Hawks became the first No. 1 seed to lose in the opening round since the Los Angeles Kings knocked off the Vancouver Canucks on their way to the Stanley Cup title in 2012. The Hawks second straight first-round exit followed a regular season in which the Blackhawks went 50-23-9 and recorded 109 points, the second-highest total in franchise history.

It was the first time a No. 1 seed was swept in the first round since the NHL adopted its current playoff format in 1994. The Hawks had the best record in the Campbell Conference and were the Norris Division’s No. 1 seed in 1993 when they got swept by St. Louis in

the opening round. That also was the last time the Hawks had been swept in a playoff series before Nashville’s dominant performance.

The game was scoreless midway through the second period when Ryan Johansen won a faceoff against Marcus Kruger and passed to Ryan Ellis, who sent it to Josi on his right. Josi fired a slap shot from behind the right circle that got between Corey Crawford’s legs and sneaked into the left corner of the net at 9:41.

Nashville extended the lead to 2-0 with a bizarre goal at 8:52 of the third. Colton Sissons fired a shot that bounced off the cage and appeared to end up in the area of Crawford’s blocker before the puck came loose and rolled into the net. Less than 90 seconds later, Josi beat Crawford on a wrist shot.

Crawford was exceptional for the first 291/2 minutes, but didn’t get much help in the final part of the game. He finished with 22 stops.

In an attempt to create a spark, the Hawks shuffled their lines and star forward Patrick Kane played a teamhigh 23:43. They dressed seven defensemen – Michal Kempny made his playoff debut – and nothing worked.

The Hawks avoided the shutout when captain Jonathan Toews scored at 14:42 of the third for his first postseason goal since Game 4 of the 2015 Stanley Cup Final. Toews had been held without a goal for 12 straight postseason games.

Bears regular-season schedule

The Bears will open the 2017 season at home against the defending NFC champion Falcons, and for the seventh consecutive year they will play a primetime game at Lambeau Field.

For the second year in a row, the Bears have back-to-back prime-time games vs. NFC North rivals.

In Week 4, the Bears travel to play the Packers at Lambeau Field on Sept. 28. It will be the third year in a row the two teams will have met in Green Bay on a Thursday night.

The following week, the Bears return home and will host the Vikings on “Monday Night Football” on Oct. 9.

This mirrors a similar back-to-back the Bears had last season, playing the Packers on a Thursday and then the Vikings at home on a Monday – they lost to Green Bay but beat the Vikings on Halloween night, one of three wins.

The season begins Sept. 10 with quite the challenge, as the Bears welcome Matt Ryan and the defending NFC champion Falcons to Soldier Field. That begins a daunting September slate, including a road game against upstart Tampa Bay on Sept. 17 followed by a home game vs. the Steelers on Sept. 24 before the Thursday night game in Green Bay. In Week 17, the Bears will conclude the season in Minneapolis against the Vikings on New Year’s Eve. The other home games for the Bears will be in Week 7 against Carolina, Week 10 against Green Bay, Week 11 vs. Detroit and Week 16 (Christmas Eve) vs.

Cleveland. The other road trips for the Bears include heading to Baltimore in

Week 1: Sunday, Sept. 10 – vs. Atlanta Falcons Week 2: Sunday, Sept. 17 – at Tampa Bay Buccaneers Week 3: Sunday, Sept. 24 – vs. Pittsburgh Steelers Week 4: Thursday, Sept. 28 – at Green Bay Packers Week 5: Monday, Oct. 9 – vs. Vikings Week 6: Sunday, Oct. 15 – at Baltimore Ravens Week 7: Sunday, Oct. 22 – vs. Panthers Week 8: Sunday, Oct. 29 – at New Orleans Saints Week 9: BYE Week 10: Sunday, Nov. 12 – vs. Green Bay Packers Week 11: Sunday, Nov. 19 – vs. Detroit Lions Week 12: Sunday, Nov. 26 – at Philadelphia Eagles Week 13: Sunday, Dec. 3 – vs. San Francisco Week 14: Sunday, Dec. 10 – at Cincinnati Bengals Week 15: Saturday, Dec. 16 – at Detroit Lions Week 16: Sunday, Dec. 24 – vs. Cleveland Browns Week 17: Sunday, Dec. 31 – at Minnesota Vikings Week 6, New Orleans in Week 8, Philadelphia in Week 12, Cincinnati in Week 14 and Detroit on a Saturday in Week 15.

The bye week for the Bears is at the midseason point, taking place during Week 9.

BULLS

Mismatches key to Bulls’ 2-0 lead

By JOE COWLEY

jcowley@suntimes.com CHICAGO – Boston all-everything point guard Isaiah Thomas isn’t about to have a growth spurt before Friday’s Game 3.

In all likelihood 5-foot-9 – and that’s measuring him on a good day – is still going to remain 5-foot-9.

On the other side, Bulls all-purpose All-Star Jimmy Butler isn’t about to shrink, and center Robin Lopez sounded like a guy who has no plans to lighten up on the rebounding anytime soon.

The mismatches for Boston are the mismatches, and they won’t be magically changing for a team that’s down 2-0 in the best-of-seven first-round playoff series.

It was a flawed seed atop the Eastern

Conference when this series began, and those flaws will continue to be exposed.

According to Dwyane Wade, however, what has to be guarded against is the Celtics starting to open up book on the Bulls’ flaws.

In Wade’s opinion, that’s what the early part of this series has been about.

While Boston has come out looking to jab and get a feel of its opponent, the Bulls are one step ahead. Then when the Celtics have made the adjustment, the Bulls already have it countered.

The good news for the Bulls is they don’t consider themselves a typical No. 8 seed. Not with Wade and his three championships, Rajon Rondo and his one ring, and then a three-time All-Star in Butler, who can arguably be put in the top five of the league’s most dangerous two-way players.

32 CUBS

Maddon obsessed with ‘aggressive’ defense

By BRUCE MILES

bmiles@dailyherald.com Of the many T-shirts in fashion these days around the Cubs clubhouse is one that reads “D-peat.”

It reflects manager Joe Maddon’s assertion that if the Cubs play good defense, as they did last year, they have a chance to repeat as world champions.

Defense is an obsession with Maddon. In an age when everybody digs the longball and starting pitching sets the tone, Maddon gets just as excited over a good play in the field.

But there’s more. The Cubs play an aggressive style of defense. Their catchers throw behind runners at first base. Maddon went with a five-man infield to try to choke off the winning run. A wild pitch made it moot.

On bunt plays, Maddon has had Anthony Rizzo trade his first baseman’s glove for a fielder’s glove and move closer to second base, with the second baseman moving to first. Rizzo is not afraid to charge in from that spot.

At other times, Maddon has Javier Baez charging in from his second base position to field the ball.

What the Cubs have done with all

this is turn their defense into a weapon.

But, as Maddon pointed out, to pull off plays such as having Baez come charging in with so much going on around him takes a special player.

“He’s fearless,” the manager said.

“A lot of guys would not be that comfortable that close to the hitter. Rizz is the same way. Part of it is the fact that either guy is fearless in regard to getting that close to the hitter. They [the opposition] try to do the slash [bunt].

That’s what you’re going to do. You’re either going to bunt it or try to do that.

“If you get at least the one out, you’re happy with it, and the runner did not advance. There’s going to come the time when they’re going to do that (hit it past the infield) and the ball’s going to go over our guy’s head and going to go into right field. It’s going to work on the other side. I get that.”

Of course, in right field is the strong arm and steady presence of Jason Heyward, against whom base runners try for the extra bag at their own risk.

It all starts in the infield, and that many different looks can be disconcerting to a batter with a runner at

“It’s like anything else you do on defense,” Maddon said. “When the hitter’s not used to seeing it, it bothers them. There’s no question it bothers them. It’s something they’re not used seeing. Yeah, it’s different when you have defense in your face that much.

You’ve got three guys lined up on that side of the field, the pitcher. And Javy’s got to stay out of the way so the pitcher can throw the ball to first base, too. Otherwise, you have no pickoff at-

tempt. So there’s all this little nuance.

“You can’t do it all the time. You’ve got to pick your right guys. It can even work with runners on first and second in the right situation, too.”

Rizzo is one of the right guys, and the word “fearless” was at the forefront when Maddon talked about him, as well.

“He is fearless,” Maddon said. “He doesn’t worry about minutiae. He doesn’t worry about superficial nonsense. He’s going to go out there and play a really good game of baseball.

We put him in there on that defense with the bunt, and he’s right in the hitter’s face. A lot of hitters don’t like that. He picks up the bunt and throws a strike to second base, and we turn a double play. He goes on (top of) a wall.

The stuff he picks out of the dirt, he makes our infielders all better every day.”

For Rizzo, it’s all in a day’s work.

“It’s just the way I’ve been taught to play the game,” he said. “You don’t hold anything back. Whatever you have that day, you give 100 percent of and leave it out there on a daily basis and figure it out how to do it the next day.”

Fostering a healthier, more active New Lenox

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

NEW LENOX – Thursday was Shirley Braglia’s last day in the office.

Braglia, director of recreation for the New Lenox Park District, retires after more than 30 years with the district, a career that began as a parttime gymnastics instructor in 1985.

Through her years with the park district, Braglia also has held the titles of gymnastics instructor, gymnastics coordinator, program coordinator, recreation coordinator, recreation supervisor and recreation superintendent.

She’s increased the district’s opportunities for recreation for people of all ages. But one thing has not changed, and that’s Braglia’s love for recreation, which began in her childhood, even before her first job as a day camp counselor for the Chicago Park District.

That was 1972. Braglia was 13 and said she was paid $1 a day “to keep kids entertained.” Braglia had her own group of 10 to 15 children, which she moved from station to station.

Camp went from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. five days a week for six weeks.

It also was free, although campers brought their own lunches.

“We had track and field every day and a craft room with wonderful crafts,” Braglia said. “We had circle time, where we sang camp songs and read books. The kids had wood shop and went to swimming lessons. We did field trips to the zoo, Rainbow Beach and different areas in the Chicagoland area. It was great fun.”

Soon, Braglia was running the camp through a work-study program at her high school.

“I’d leave school at noon and work from 2 to 10,” Braglia said. “I knew I wanted to be in physical education of some sort. Recreation was not a big, huge thing back then. Of course, as far as majoring in college went, very few colleges offered recreation as a major. Illinois State was one, and Chicago State was another.”

Braglia attended Illinois State University her freshman year, “didn’t care that much for it,” and then transferred to Chicago State University the next year on a volleyball scholarship. She said that the recreation program offered “a little bit of everything” – from camp counseling, leadership and budgeting to billiards.

She earned a Bachelor of Science in education with recreation as her

Eric Ginnard – eginnard@shawmedia.com

Shirley Braglia retired as director of recreation for the New Lenox Park District after 30 years with the district focus in 1981. She married Dave Braglia, moved to New Lenox in 1983, had twin boys and began working four to six hours a week for the New Lenox Park District when her sons were 9 months old.

At the time, the park district was small, Braglia said – only the Lions Community Center and the Lions Den, which was a building off Cedar Road.

The equipment for the gymnastics program was donated from the former Oakview Junior High School, she added.

“There were 16 parks, and we only had 338 acres at the time,” Braglia said. “Currently, we have 38 parks and 705 acres of land.”

Braglia said that when she became full-time in 1995, the park district only offered 45 programs in the summer. This summer, it’s 350.

The park district also offers three preschool classes. The children’s basketball program has more than 600 players.

“Look at the golf courses,” Braglia said. “Everyone is saying golf is going downhill, but we do over 30,000 rounds each year, which is huge.”

Two football associations, a soccer association and a baseball association are just several independent

sports groups that use park district property, Braglia said.

“Those associations run their own organizations, but they still have to follow by park district guidelines,” Braglia said.

What the New Lenox Park District needs is its own recreation center, Braglia said, especially if the district keeps expanding.

“When I first moved here in 1983, the population was 7,600 for the village. Right now, the village and township is serving 62,000. That is a huge number,” Braglia said.

People today want to be healthy and live a long, healthy life, Braglia said. The more active adults become, the more active they want their kids to be. But kids today spend more time on electronic devices, she said.

Safety concerns make it difficult for kids to “go to the park at 10 in the morning and be back in time for dinner,” Braglia said.

That’s where park districts step in to help get kids outside moving.

Braglia said parents want their kids engaging in outside games and activities.

“And we want them to do it,” Braglia said.

Know more According to a news release from the New Lenox Park District, Director of Recreation Shirley Braglia “created, oversaw and brought to fruition” the following accomplishments: • Achieved the National Parks and Recreation Association’s Certified Parks and Recreation Professional designation in 2002 and continued to maintain annual membership requirements through ongoing educational seminars and classes for the past 15 years.

• A before- and after-school care program through an intergovernmental agreement with New Lenox School District 122. The program began with one school and about 50 students and grew to all four campuses and more than 700 participants.

• The procurement and long-standing agreement with Lincoln-Way High School District 210 for the park district to obtain gym space and fitness center privileges for residents.

• Played an integral part in the planning, development and procurement of more than $2 million in government grant funding, which resulted in park district firsts: splash pads, fishing ponds, concession buildings as well as state-of-the-art playground park developments.

Joliet cafe displaying resident’s nature photography

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

JOLIET – John Kessler points to a photograph featuring three deer.

He’d caught them by chance one afternoon while walking through Hammel Woods in Shorewood, between 2:30 and 3 p.m., he said. Kessler said he also has photographed deer at the Rock Run Preserve in Joliet.

Kessler, 65, of Joliet loves nature, and he loves photographing it. Forty-five of his images fill one wall of the Book and Bean Cafe in Joliet.

They will remain for viewing through the end of April.

And they’re all for sale.

But Kessler doesn’t limit himself to deer.

“I just go out, and if I see something, I take a picture of it,” Kessler said. “I look for color, shape, texture, movement, abstract or any combination. After I shoot, I come home and check my camera. If I think it’s good, I’ll have it printed. The subject is not important. There’s so much variety out there.”

Photography is a retirement hobby for Kessler, although he did some shooting when he was young. He even took two photography classes in college.

“My brother and I had a darkroom in our basement,” Kessler said, “and we developed our own black and

n KNOWLEDGE GAINED: I’ve learned how

Joliet Job Corps students promote reading comprehension The HERALD-NEWS JOLIET–TerranceRogersopenedthe bookandturnedtothefirstpage.Thefour small children looked at him, waiting.

Rogers began.

“At the far end of town where the Grickle-grass grows,” he said, reading the first two lines of “The Lorax” by Dr. Seuss.

Rogers, 18, of Sauk Village is enrolled at the Joliet Job Corps Center and earning a high school diploma while also pursuing a career in the security industry. And that was the beginning of the Joliet Job Corps Center’s Reading To Lead event March 1 at the Forest Park Community Center, 1017 Woodruff Road, Joliet.

Rogers and Bobbie Johnson, 18, of Lockport, another Joliet Job Corps Center student, had come to the community center to read books to the preschool class.

“I love to have people read to our children,” Bettye Gavin, the executive director of the community center and a Joliet City council member, said in a news release. “It helps them learn to

appreciate books and reading.”

Reading To Lead is a Job Corps initiative to highlight the importance of reading for the program’s students across the country. Reading To Lead is a companion event to Read Across America Day on March 2, an annual youth celebration of reading and literacy.

To promote reading comprehension at the Joliet Job Corps Center, academic instructor Michelle Cvitanovich has organized a weekly book club. The students recently began “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” by Ken Kesey.

“As a reading teacher, I felt that a lot of the students were struggling with reading comprehension,” Cvitanovich said in a news release. “I thought if they could connect enjoyment with reading that their skills would improve.”

But the four preschoolers at the Forest Park Community Center weren’t thinking about those things. They simply enjoyed the story of the Lorax, the Once-ler and the Truffula Trees.

When Rodgers finished “The Lorax,” he asked the children whether they would like to hear another story. After they nodded, he picked up the next book.

SUDOKU

ASK THE DOCTORS Robert Ashley to decrease pain. Gabapentin causes much more drowsiness compared to pregabalin, so many of my patients who have difficulty sleeping at night because of postherpetic neuralgia do well with it. However, because people with symptoms that also occur during the day often can’t tolerate the sedating effects of gabapentin, I switch many of these patients to pregabalin; although this drug can cause drowsiness, it is better tolerated. The anti-seizure drug valproic acid also can significantly decrease pain.

Capsaicin, the active component of chili peppers, is known for irritating the sensory nerves, but perhaps remarkably, can lead to pain relief when used in cream form for those with postherpetic neuralgia. Note that you must apply capsaicin multiple times a day, and for many people, the burning, stinging sensation is intolerable. Opiates also can relieve the acute pain, but when used longterm, they can cause tolerance and addiction.

As for the vaccine, although you had shingles more than two years ago, it still could reduce the risk of future episodes. However, no vaccination studies have been done in patients who already have had shingles, so the potential benefit is unclear. In addition, the vaccine won’t reduce your current nerve pain.

In summary, I recommend speaking to your doctor about medications like gabapentin or pregabalin and whether to get the shingles vaccine to perhaps decrease the risk of future episodes.

Dear Doctor: I’m a 78-year-old woman who developed shingles in December 2014.

The rash settled in the nerves on my left side, from under the breast, to the waist and around the middle of my back. Is there anything I can take to ease the pain? Would the vaccine help?

Dear Reader: Shingles is a reactivation of the herpes zoster virus – the virus that causes chickenpox. When people contract chickenpox, usually as children, the virus makes its way along their sensory nerves, ending up at the nerve cells along the spine.

The virus then sits within the cells in a dormant state. It can stay there for the rest of a person’s life and not cause problems, with the body’s immune system keeping the virus in a dormant state.

However, when immunity decreases, the virus can replicate within a nerve cell, following a particular nerve pathway to the skin and creating a rash along that pathway. The most common risk factor for developing shingles is age, with 80- to 89-yearolds having 10 times greater risk compared with those 10 years old and younger.

The nerve pain created by shingles can be severe and can persist even after all the lesions have disappeared. The pain can be burning, sharp or stabbing and can worsen with the lightest touch. When the pain lasts for more than four months, the diagnosis is termed “postherpetic neuralgia,” the pain syndrome you have. There are many medications for postherpetic neuralgia. Tricyclic antidepressants such as amitriptyline, nortriptyline and desipramine work to decrease pain signals from the skin to the central nervous system. However, they’re often not well-tolerated in older patients and can lead to sedation, dry mouth and worsening memory. They would not be my first choice for you.

Gabapentin (Neurontin) and pregabalin (Lyrica) work directly through the nerves

readers to your clinical trial. Living to a “ripe old age” can be a mixed blessing because the older we get, the greater the likelihood of Alzheimer’s disease entering the picture.

Readers, Dr. Sperling is looking for subjects with a family history of Alzheimer’s disease or who, through prescreening, have been discovered to have amyloid plaques forming in the brain. There are more than 65 study sites throughout the U.S. and several in Canada, so you may be able to find a location near you.

Dear Abby: I have been somewhat taken aback by two retirement party invitations I received lately. Both require an “entrance fee” of $15 to $20. I have never heard of or experienced something like this before. When I retired from teaching 10 years ago, I held my own retirement party at my home. I supplied the food and beverages and requested “no gifts, please.”

Is there a new custom that requires people to pay an admission price to a party? If someone pays to go to the party, is he/she also expected to bring a gift? Honestly, I’m a little put off being asked to pay to celebrate my friends’ retirements. Should I be, or is this an appropriate request? – Wondering In Ohio Dear Wondering: I don’t blame you for feeling put off. I don’t know who is supposedly giving the parties for your friends, but if you’re being asked to pay for your food and beverages, it appears that no host is. If you pay to attend these parties, your presence should be your gift. And if you choose not to go, I wouldn’t blame you.

Dear Abby:

DEAR ABBY More than 10,000 baby boomers Jeanne in the U.S. turn Phillips 65 every day, and enter the “age of risk” for Alzheimer’s disease. I have witnessed the devastating effects of this disease in my work as a neurologist, as a clinical researcher, and sadly, in my own family.

The good news is we are now starting prevention trials to try to stop memory loss before it begins! The A4 (Anti-Amyloid Treatment in Asymptomatic Alzheimer’s) study is the first clinical trial designed for people who have the earliest signs of Alzheimer’s disease beginning in the brain, but don’t yet have any symptoms of the disease. The A4 study is enrolling healthy 65- to 85-year-olds across the country who may be at risk for memory loss due to Alzheimer’s disease.

I feel a new sense of hope, but we really need volunteers to join us. Our motto for the A4 study is “Now is the time,” and now really is the time to make a difference in defeating Alzheimer’s disease.

I hope your readers who are interested will call (toll-free) 844-247-8839 or visit A4study.org to receive more information or to join us. – Reisa Sperling, M.D., Project

FRIDAY HOROSCOPE

By EUGENIA LAST

Newspaper Enterprise Association TODAY – A steady pace will be required. Don’t let frustration set in if things don’t move fast enough. It’s in your best interest to aim for perfection and precision in all that you do this year. A responsible approach to life will bring you greater stability and personal security.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – You can make headway if you exercise your right to ask questions and sign up for offers that can help bring about your chance to advance. Romance is highlighted.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Refuse to give in to someone trying to manipulate you to take on responsibilities that don’t belong to you. Say no

and put your energy into reaching your goals.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Easy does it. Stay focused on work, meetings, personal growth and education. Hang out with someone who inspires and motivates you to explore new interests. Sign up for a retreat.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – A steady pace, a good idea and a strong work ethic will save the day.

Plan to celebrate with someone whom you want to share your thoughts with.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Share information and make alterations to the way you do things. A fresh new look at an old idea will spark enthusiasm and help you get your plans up and running.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – If you want to make a change, do something that will help you bring

about self-awareness. Try to make personal improvements or enhance your relationship with someone special. Romance is highlighted.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Channel your emotional energy into something that will bring you comfort and joy. Working on home projects, improving your relationship with loved ones and making physical self-improvements are all highlighted.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Emotional manipulation will lead to personal problems within important relationships. Do what you want and allow others the same privilege. Personal gains should be your goal.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Getting together with old friends may lead to a tempting situa-

tion. A joint venture or poor decision will turn out to be a costly mistake. Think before you act.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – An opportunity must not be allowed to slip away. Consider making a joint venture or resurrecting an old idea. If you experiment a little, you’ll find out a lot. Take a leap of faith.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Hang on tight.

When in doubt, make it a point to ask questions.

Don’t move forward without having the facts and figures to support your views. Look out for No. 1.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – You’ll meet and form a good relationship with someone interesting if you participate in an event that is dedicated to helping a cause you support. An offer will be too good to refuse.

Elwood Huge 2 Day Estate Sale A popular saying goes, “If the facts don’t fit the theory, change the facts.”

At the bridge table, if you do not have a fit with partner, in fact you try to describe your hand as accurately as possible, in terms of high-card strength and distribution.

After North opens one club, East overcalls one spade, South makes a negative double (promising four hearts) and West passes, North imagines that the uncontested auction started one club - one heart. Then, North would have rebid two clubs to show a minimum hand with six clubs.

This is no different. South, with his eye on game, jumps to three notrump.

West leads the spade nine. What happens after that?

South can see seven tricks: two spades, two hearts and three diamonds. So he needs to establish dummy’s club suit, which requires losing the lead twice. This is the rule: When you have two tricks in the suit led and two high cards to dislodge, duck the first trick. Therefore, if East puts up the spade queen at trick one, declarer underplays his six. Then, when South takes the second trick and leads a club, West wins but does not have a spade to lead.

If East remembers this rule, he will play the spade 10 (or eight) at trick one. Then the contract dies.

South has to win with his jack and play a club, but West takes the trick with the king and returns his second spade, setting up East’s suit while he, East, still has the club ace as an entry.

When you hope to establish a suit, try to make the opponents use up their stoppers as quickly as possible.
