Joliet Park District executive director

Joliet rec center is delayed and over budget – but work continues

By BOB OKON

bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The East Side Recreation Center will cost $2 million more than originally expected, and construction probably should have started a year ago, but it will open next year, Joliet Park District Executive Director Tom Carstens told a group of interested residents Thursday.

“Groundbreaking should have been a year ago,” Carstens said in his opening comments at a community meeting to present the final plans for the project to be built in Nowell Park.

Groundbreaking is coming in August, he said, and the grand opening for the 30,667-square-foot facility is conservatively scheduled for November 2018.

Carstens’ admissions of delays at the start of the meeting appeared to clear the air since the audience had questions but no criticism of the park district’s handling of the project. They even offered several of compliments.

“I want to thank the park district for doing what you said you would do,” said J.D. Ross, who said the park officials kept a promise to spread resources from the

$19.5 million referendum approved in 2014 across both the East and West sides of town.

By Ross’s calculations, the park district is spending $12.5 million on the East Side.

The East Side Recreation Center was one of the largest projects, and its projected cost of $7.5 million exceeds the original estimate of $5.5 million.

“This building was under-budgeted,” Carstens said. “The budget for this building is now $7.5 million to make sure we have all the amenities and programs we told you we’d have.”

Carstens, hired a year ago, came into the project midstream and had said work still needed to be done to ensure the facility was not built in a floodplain and would not face future problems because of road projects planned for the vicinity.

”

The facility will have a 15,000-squarefoot field house with a rubberized gym floor that can be used for two basketball courts, two volleyball courts and a soccer field. The field house will have a walking track and two suspended batting cages that can be lowered for baseball practice.

The facility also will contain a 3,000-square-foot fitness center downsized from the original plan, a preschool room and two multipurpose rooms.

Resident Cortez Broadnax asked Carstens what the park district will do to contain costs.

“I have noted whatever project we have in Joliet, it invariably goes over the original amount of money allocated to construct it,” Broadnax said.

“We better come in under budget,” Carstens said, adding that there is “a sizable contingency” built into the cost estimate.

The problem of who will get the work to build the complex also was brought up.

“I would like to see as many local contractors and minority contractors on this project as possible,” said Willis Sellers, a Joliet contractor who has been critical of the level of minority participation in other public projects in town.

Preston Heights toddler’s body was found under couch in family home

By BRIAN STANLEY

bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET TOWNSHIP – The discovery of a 1-year-old girl’s body under a couch inside her residence after an intensive search for her in the Preston Heights neighborhood has shocked and saddened investigators and the community.

“This has been a very emotional situation for family members, friends and first r e s p o n d e r s , ” W i l l Semaj County Sheriff’s Dep- Crosby uty Chief Rick Ackerson said. “The entire community has been deeply concerned about the safety of Semaj.”

The girl was reported missing Tuesday afternoon from her home in the 300 block of Louis Road. Police,

firefighters and volunteers searched throughout Wednesday but did not find the girl. While Semaj’s mother, Sheri Gordon, was being questioned for a second time Wednesday morning, she decided to stop the interview and speak with an attorney, Ackerson said. A woman who accompanied Gordon was outside banging on the door of the police trailer and telling Gordon not to answer questions, he said.

After negotiations with the attorney Wednesday evening, Gordon gave police consent to search her residence. Gordon is being represented

by Chuck Bretz & Associates.

“We had sought a search warrant [throughout the day], but the Will County State’s Attorney’s Office noted witnesses had reported seeing [Semaj] walking down the street,” Ackerson said.

Police entered the house at 11 p.m.

Wednesday and found the girl’s body inside after about an hour into the search, Ackerson said.

A source with knowledge of the investigation who is not authorized to speak on the matter confirmed the body was found under a couch that did not have legs and could not be crawled under.

The Will County Coroner’s Office confirmed the girl was pronounced dead at the scene at 1:27 a.m. Thursday. An autopsy was conducted Thursday morning but will “require further study” to determine the cause of death, according to the coroner’s office.

“There was garbage strewn in the house. The house was in deplorable condition,” Ackerson said.

A source said there were obvious signs of cockroach infestation.

By FELIX SARVER

fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET TOWNSHIP – Sadness and anger could be felt at the home of Semaj Crosby, a 1-year-old girl who was found dead early Thursday morning after being reported missing Tuesday.

More than 30 residents from the Preston Heights neighborhood where Semaj lived and other communities mourned the loss Thursday evening at her home, where she was found dead under a couch.

Those who came to the vigil adorned the front entrance of her home with candles, balloons and a stuffed giraffe toy, and then prayed.

Margie Saxton, who lives near Preston Heights, was one of many who came to show support. She said the community had gathered around her when her grandson was shot and killed at the age of 14. Like her grandson’s death, Semaj’s was “senseless.”

“Senseless. [And] for what? ... What could she do? What could she do?” Saxton said.

Semaj was reported missing Tuesday afternoon from her home in the

• SEMAJ FOUND

Continued from page 3 The home was deemed uninhabitable Thursday by officials.

Including Gordon, her two sons and Semaj, five to 15 people were regularly living in the house as “squatters,” Ackerson said.

“We aren’t sure if they’re all friends or relatives. But there were different people there off and on,” Ackerson said.

“There are a lot of people from Chicago in that house,” said one neighbor, who wanted to remain anonymous.

“They’re [regularly] louder than the average neighbor around here. Lot of people out in the yard throughout the day.”

No arrests have been made, but the investigation is “ongoing and active,” Ackerson said.

The Department of Children and Family Services opened two investigations of Gordon for allegations of neglect last month. DCFS spokeswoman Veronica Resa said in an email that DCFS personnel had been at the home about 3:20 p.m. Tuesday “and had seen all three of the mother’s children, including Semaj. There were no obvious hazards or safety concerns at that time.”

Resa said DCFS has been offering

the circumstances of how she died, such as Zachary Stocking, a neighbor who said Semaj played with his children.

He said Preston Heights is a community, and anyone in it would’ve seen Semaj wandering off.

Stocking was one of the first to light candles for Semaj at the vigil Thursday, and he soon was joined by a group of residents who also lit candles.

One woman urged Stocking to pray, but he declined, saying she was in a better place.

“The people that did this, they need to pray for their own souls,” he said.

The crowd held hands and was guided through a prayer by a woman who did not want to identify herself. She thanked God for Semaj, a “precious soul” who was sent to them for a short Eric Ginnard – eginnard@shawmedia.com time but is now resting with God. Friends, neighbors and mourners light candles Thursday at the home of Semaj Crosby in “Semaj, we loved you, but God, you the Preston Heights neighborhood of Joliet Township.

Deputies responded to a 911 hang-up from the residence on Easter Sunday.

There was no reported disturbance, but deputies provided some candy and toys for the children at the house, Ackerson said.

On Thursday, Semaj’s father, James Crosby, appeared in court before being released from the Will County jail, where he has been locked up for two months on theft and domestic battery charges. Defense attorney Cosmo Tedone said James Crosby has been “in a state of shock” since learning of his daughter’s disappearance and death.

According to a source, one of Semaj’s brothers has been hospitalized.

Gordon’s attorneys released a statement Thursday evening.

“During the search, Ms. Gordon and law enforcement engaged in a high level of communication and cooperation,” the statement said. “Ms. Gordon, [through] her attorneys, continues to contact and communicate with the Will County Sheriff’s investigation team and other agencies. Ms. Gordon is extremely distraught over the death of her only daughter. ... She prays for her daughter and appreciates the community’s support in this matter. We look forward to when we can put this tragic incident behind us and allow the healing to begin.”

Will County Sheriff’s Deputy Chief Rick Ackerson addresses the media Thursday during a news conference about the death of 1-year-old Semaj Crosby. Semaj, who was reported missing Tuesday evening, was found dead Wednesday night at her family’s residence.

Ackerson said no one was in custody Thursday.

Louis Road remained blocked by crime scene tape until Thursday evening. A memorial to the 17-month-old girl was set up in the area Thursday.

Markesha Walter came Thursday morning from Chicago to place a stuffed giraffe near the street as

“a show of respect.”

“I’ve got a baby of my own about the same age. It’s very sad. [Her death] just seems so senseless,” Walter said.

“To have everybody out here searching when [someone] knew she was in the house. That’s crazy.”

Plainfield D-202 testing all schools for water lead as proactive measure

By FELIX SARVER

fsarver@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – Plainfield District 202 is testing water in all schools as a proactive step given the law does not address schools built after 2000, the district’s spokesman said.

State law requires testing of schools serving preschool through fifth grade students that were built before Jan. 1, 1987, by the end of the year.

Schools serving the same students that were built between Jan. 2, 1987, and Jan. 1, 2000, are supposed to have testing done by the end of 2018.

District officials announced Tuesday that they will test all buildings, including all four high schools and Plainfield Academy.

“We would rather take care of it all now and just be done with it,” said Tom Hernandez, District 202 spokesman.

He said what influenced the district’s decision to test all schools is that many of them were built after 2000 and

the law does not address testing those schools.

State lawmakers also have the option to change the law until June 30, 2019. Hernandez said that testing all schools would be “forward thinking” if the law applies to middle and high schools.

The district will pay about $65,000 to Environmental Services to test water at about 1,900 drinking fountains and commercial sinks in district schools and other facilities.

Hernandez stated in an email that the district Finance Committee heard water testing information at a March 15 meeting and asked the business department to research additional information, such as the cost for testing.

After that information was shared, the board didn’t have additional questions or concerns.

Hernandez stated formal board approval was not needed as the cost of the work falls below the bid threshold as it’s being done building by building.

Plainfield park board has vacancy after Newton elected to village spot

By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – The Plainfield Park District Board of Commissioners is looking to fill an opening.

The vacancy is a result of former park board commissioner Larry Newton getting elected in April to a seat on the Plainfield Village Board. The position became vacant as of April 12, according to the park district’s website.

Newton and Cally Larson will get sworn in to the Village Board as new trustees Monday. The park board will start accepting applications for its vacancy the same day, through June 2.

Information packets with instructions will be available for pickup at the Recreation/Administration Center, 23729 W. Ottawa St., Plainfield, during regular business hours. Application materials must be returned to that location by noon June 2 in a sealed envelope addressed to board President Mary Kay Ludemann, according to a news release from the park district.

Ludemann said a questionnaire that is part of the application packet will help commissioners get a feel for candidates before deciding who to interview.

The board’s last vacancy drew three applicants, but Ludemann thinks this one might draw more interest based on how many people have reached out so far.

“We’re going to try to interview everybody who applies,” Ludemann said, adding the board hopes to fill the spot at its June meeting.

The park district board is nonpartisan, so nominations by any political central committees would not matter.

The district serves all of Plainfield Township and parts of Na-Au-Say Township and Wheatland Township and includes more than 100,000 residents.

Newton and Ludemann were two driving forces against a former park board majority that drew the ire of district residents for its decision-making. Just one member from that former majority, Peter Steinys, remains on the board.

One unpopular decision by the former park board majority was to hire Plainfield Trustee Garrett Peck as the district’s executive director. Peck was defeated by Newton, Larson and incumbent Trustee Margie Bonuchi in the April election. Peck leaves the Plainfield Village Board after eight years.

Will County seeks community input on freight Residents can give opinion in person, or online

By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Will County has announced several ways residents can take part and have their voices heard in its Community Friendly Freight Mobility Plan.

A series of open houses, workforce forums and an online survey are being used to collect feedback from residents on the current state of freight and transportation in the county as well as how it relates to their daily lives.

Leaders from the freight and logistics sectors are being asked to participate in a workforce forum.

Its goal is to help create an action plan to address workforce issues and needs identified by employers in Will County. The forum will be from 9 a.m. to noon May 9 at the Workforce Center of Will County, 2400 Glenwood Ave., Joliet.

Three public open houses are set for mid-May in Wilmington, Plainfield and New Lenox, with the following planned dates: from 5 to 7:30 p.m. May 16 at the William E. Dugan

Training Center, 19800 W. South Arsenal Road, Wilmington; 5 to 7:30 p.m. May 17 at Plainfield Village Hall Community Room, 24401 W. Lockport St., Plainfield; and 5 to 7:30 p.m.

May 18 at New Lenox Village Hall, One Veterans Parkway, New Lenox.

The county also has begun a survey at www.surveymonkey.com/r/ WillCountyFreightPlan, where residents can spend about 10 minutes answering questions about freight and how it can alter their quality of life.

All of the input will be gathered along with other findings of the consulting firm CDM Smith, and they will be released sometime this summer.

“This study is really designed to benefit not just the businesses and logistics companies but to understand how this industry and movement of freight is impacting residents here,” said Will County Center for Economic Development President and CEO John Greuling. “We have some understanding of congestion, noise and safety concerns, but these open houses and the survey give residents an opportunity to give input to the

consulting team.”

The county is using the study as a holistic approach to finding the needs of the county’s transportation network as it seeks federal funding to improve roads such as Interstate 80 and Interstate 55.

“We have tried to make it a very open process,” Greuling said.

Will County has the largest inland port in North America, six Class I railroads and three navigable waterways.

“We have some understanding of congestion, noise and safety concerns, but these open houses and the survey give residents an opportunity to give input to the consulting team.”

JOLIET – Teamsters Local 703 has agreed to withdraw a lawsuit that would have impeded a sale of Central Grocers, the union announced Thursday.

Withdrawing the motion, which was filed in federal court last week, will “allow the seller and buyer to proceed with exploration of the potential transaction without the disruption of litigation,” the union said in a news release.

The union said it received assurances “regarding a potential transaction” and “certain confidential information” that will allow the Teamsters to assess the effect of a sale on its labor contracts and members.

The Teamsters local represents about 300 workers at Central Grocers’ warehouse in Joliet.

The union had filed the lawsuit after learning that the company was planning to sell its Joliet facility.

Central Grocers, which is based in Joliet, is a grocery wholesaler that supplies about 400 independent supermarkets in the Chicago region and northwest Indiana.

The company also owns the Strack & Van Til supermarket chain, which includes Ultra Foods stores. Strack & Van Til announced last week that Central Grocers is trying to sell 22 of the stores while closing nine Ultra Foods supermarkets.

The Ultra store in Joliet is among those being closed by June 18.

On April 18, the Teamsters filed a motion for a temporary restraining order to block the sale of Central Grocers, arguing at the time that it was unable to obtain information as to whether a prospective buyer would honor contracts at the Joliet warehouse.

The news release, issued by Local 703 on Thursday, included a statement from Secretary-Treasurer Thomas Stiede, who said, “Withdrawing our original action at this time is in the best interest of the union and our membership.”

A company spokesman declined to comment on the Teamsters’ announcement.

The company has refused to comPaul Bergstrom for Shaw Media ment about the possibility of a sale.

The Central Grocers distribution center is seen on West Haven Avenue in Joliet.

But in a letter to employees this week, CEO Ken Nemeth discussed the plan to sell the Strack & Van Til “continuing to explore strategic al- business, which may include a sale stores and said Central Grocers is ternatives for the other parts of our transaction.”

45 students to receive Auto Dealer a $1,000 scholarship

By ALLISON SELK

Shaw Media correspondent For the third year, 45 students from public elementary and middle schools in Joliet, Channahon, Elwood, Laraway and Troy as well as the Joliet Catholic Dioceses will receive a $1,000 scholarship to use toward higher education after high school.

Former 2016 scholarship recipient Tiffany Trizna from Troy Middle School said she has a goal to become a lawyer after graduation.

“Most kids don’t get a scholarship in sixth grade. I have something to put towards my school already, which is really awesome. I am grateful,” Tiffany said.

In 2014, the Joliet Chamber of Commerce 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 Education Committee.

Those who chose to apply were required to have a 3.75 GPA, offer examples of community and school service and write a 500-word essay to be judged by professors from Joliet Junior College, Lewis University and the University of St. Francis.

Mary Jaworski, president of the Joliet Region Chamber of Commerce, said this fund begins in elementary and middle schools to plant the seed to encourage a college education, with these students possibly being the first in their family to go to college.

“These students work hard in academics; it’s nice to reward them for their academic success,” Jaworski said.

About $60,000 needs to be raised in order to grant these scholarships.

“This allows the children to set their sights higher and for those who are conscious about wanting college, they know that somebody they don’t even know has their back.”

Joe Langenderfer

CEO of the Catholic Education Foundation

Hawk Auto has been a significant donor, along with other local businesses, as well as residents and former teachers in the participating districts.

Joe Langenderfer, CEO of the Catholic Education Foundation, said he has heard scholarship winners say that they cannot believe that someone they have never met wanted to donate to help them to go to college.

“This allows the children to set their sights higher and for those who are conscious about wanting college, they know that somebody they don’t even know has their back. I’ve heard them say, ‘I don’t know these people, but it’s somebody I can share my dream with.’

It’s a great investment in children and an investment in our communities,” Langenderfer said.

The Herald-News and Exxon Mobil have teamed up to share the story about these children and the Joliet Region Education Hawk Scholarship fund to ensure these students have the funds to extend their educational possibilities.

Donations are being collected at The Herald-News office at 2175 Oneida St., Joliet or at The Community Foundation of Will County at 701 Essington Road, Suite 103, Joliet.

Laraway School property going to auction again bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET TOWNSHIP – The minimum price for the 40-acre Laraway School property has been lowered to $5.3 million while another auction is about to begin.

The Laraway School District 70C Board agreed this week to put the property up for auction again as it prepares to move the school to a new location on Rowell Avenue.

The school district will host a groundbreaking ceremony for the new school at 9 a.m. Saturday.

No bids were received in the first auction, which ended April 19. The school district asked for a minimum of $5.75 million the first time.

Superintendent Joe Salmieri said the lowered price takes into account some of the costs of redeveloping the property, which is located at 275 W. Laraway Road in Joliet.

“I think we’re taking into consideration that there needs to be some

demolition of the current building and some improvements,” Salmieri said Thursday.

An appraisal for the school district set the value of the property at $5.54 million.

The new auction starts Sunday, when it first will be advertised, and will run until 10 a.m. June 15.

The school board will consider bids for the property at its June 20 meeting.

The school board, which met Tuesday, also approved an annexation agreement that would put the property in the Joliet city limits. The Joliet City Council will next vote on the annexation.

The existing school is located on a heavily traveled route used by trucks moving to and from CenterPoint Intermodal Center-Joliet and other industrial facilities in the area.

The new school at 1715 Rowell Ave. is scheduled to open in fall 2018.

Excavation of the site already has started.

Ronald Price, age 70, died Friday morning, April 21, 2017, in Joliet, Illinois.

He is survived by his wife, Anna; daughters, Amy and Mary Beth; sister, Shirley Castillo; and brother, Larry.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Roy and Phoebe; siblings, Homer, David, Mary Lou and Robert.

In addition to his immediate family members, he leaves behind many in-laws, one aunt, lots of nieces, nephews, cousins and literally hundreds of friends, especially the Norman Sizemore family.

Ron was an accomplished musician, a highly skilled welder, pipe fitter, truck driver, heavy equipment operator, licensed electrician and licensed plumber. He knew how things worked and could fix anything from cars and trucks to radios and TVs. He never hesitated to use these skills to help those in need, oftentimes late at night when someone was broken down on the highway, with no thought of getting paid.

Ron was one of Jehovah’s Witnesses and no doubt would say that his voluntary service as an elder, ministerial servant and pioneer in various congregations in central Illinois and the Joliet area brought him the most satisfaction.

His service in this part of his life has impacted more people than can be counted. He will be sorely missed.

Visitation Saturday, April 29, 2017, 2:00 pm to 3:30 pm with memorial talk immediately following. Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses, 15827 S. Frederick Ave., Plainfield IL. NOTE: Due to limited parking, PLEASE carpool if possible.

The ASSOCIATED PRESS ATLANTA – Thomas Francis Forkner Sr., who jumped from selling real estate to the restaurant business when he co-founded Waffle House in the 1950s, has died less than two months after the death of his business partner who recruited him to help launch the famous Southern diner chain.

Waffle House said in a statement that Forkner died Wednesday at age 98. He grew up in DeKalb County just outside Atlanta, the company said, and returned there to sell real estate after serving as an Army intelligence officer during World War II. Forkner sold a house to his neighbor, Joe Rogers Sr., who worked for the Toddle House restaurant chain. Rogers persuaded Forkner to join him in starting a restaurant of their own. They opened the first 24-hour Waffle House in the Atlanta suburb of Avondale Estates on Labor Day in 1955.

They opened a second location two years later, and they kept building the business over the next two decades.

Under Forkner and Rogers, the Waffle House chain grew to 400 restaurants by the time they sold the business in the late 1970s.

Rogers died March 3, just seven weeks before Forkner. The company said Forkner’s wife of 71 years, Martha Forkner, died March 4.

The Atlanta-based company now has more than 1,500 locations.

Forkner was known to drop by the company headquarters regularly, up until a few weeks before his death. He would often drive there to have lunch with new manager trainees, said Waffle House Chairman Joe Rogers Jr., whose father started the company with Forkner.

“Tom and my father had a handshake deal, and their partnership and friendship continued for more than 60 years,” Joe Rogers said in a statement. “Tom and Joe were great partners – Tom working the real estate side of the business and my father operating the restaurants.”

Forkner also was an accomplished golfer, the company said, and won enough senior championships to warrant his induction into the Georgia Golf Hall of Fame in 2007.

Mayors unite against property tax freeze

By KIANNAH SEPEDA–MILLER The Associated Press

SPRINGFIELD – City Hall is stepping into the statewide debate over freezing property taxes.

Mayors and city leaders from across suburban Chicago are opposing a permanent freeze on local property taxes, a cornerstone of Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner’s agenda.

In an opinion piece provided to The Associated Press in advance of its public release, officials representing more than 150 cities and villages said a freeze would handicap local government and do nothing to address the state’s budget problems.

They also contend the first-term governor’s plan fails to address the impetus of high property taxes: the state’s meager contributions to public elementary and secondary school funding. Experts said Illinois relies more heavily on local property taxes to finance schools than any other state, and that property taxes here rank among the highest in the country.

The Republican’s insistence on the freeze before agreeing to an annual budget plan is among the demands on the Democrat-controlled Legislature that has led to Illinois not having a state budget in more than two years – the longest

Illinois comptroller using tax season revenue to pay bills

SPRINGFIELD – Illinois’ comptroller said increased revenues coming into the state during tax season have allowed her to release more than $800 million in payments for health care services.

Comptroller Susan Mendoza on Wednesday said the money will go to nearly a dozen managed-care operations in Illinois serving Medicaid patients.

The (Springfield) State Journal-Register reports that Mendoza’s office said those organizations can use the money to pay doctors, hospitals and mental health counselors.

In addition to the more than $800 million, the office said it also planned to issue more than $150 million in payments directly to hospitals Thursday.

“When the people have less, the government has to spend less.

If we don’t spend less, our exodus is going to continue.”

budget stalemate in the nation since before World War II. The mayors and other opponents said halting the ability of local governments and other taxing districts to levy taxes at higher rates would also result in the reduction of essential services, such as police and fire protection or road maintenance, and financial instability.

“It’s a great soundbite, but it’s going to do nothing to help the state budget,” said Roselle Mayor Gayle Smolinski, who has led the city for 24 years and is a former president of the DuPage Mayors and Mangers Conference.

The mayors’ public stance comes the

same week that more than 400 school superintendents signed a petition asking Rauner and the Legislature to stop the gamesmanship and settle on a budget.

Property taxes are collected and distributed locally, with the majority going to school districts.

A much smaller portion, about 10 percent, is collected by cities or villages to fund public services and pay down pension costs.

“If the state of Illinois funded schools, then property taxes would in fact go down,” said Gerald Bennett, mayor of Palos Hills.

Bennett, who also is president of the Southwest Council of Local Governments, pointed to decades past when the state picked up a larger portion of school districts’ tabs, which lightened the load on local taxpayers.

In 1997, then-Gov. Jim Edgar, a Republican, proposed a plan to reduce property taxes by increasing the state income tax and diverting the new funds to schools. It died in the Republican-controlled Senate.

The current Democratic-controlled Senate has attempted a compromise.

In a budget plan dubbed the “grand bargain,” Democrats and Republicans tried last winter to break the budget deadlock by proposing a two-year, tem-

Man gets 120 years for abduction, rape of 3-year-old

WAUKEGAN – A 120-year prison sentenced has been handed to a Chicago man convicted of kidnapping and recording himself sexually assaulting a 3-year-old Mundelein girl in 2013.

Lake County Circuit Judge Mark Levitt sentenced Jose Reyes to four consecutive 30-year prison terms for aggravated kidnapping, predatory criminal sexual assault, and production of child pornography. Levitt convicted Reyes in November after a bench trial.

Before sentencing, the 32-year-old Reyes asked for mercy, saying he “found God.” However, Levitt told Reyes the depths of his depravity “are unmatchable.”

Authorities said Reyes grabbed the girl near the apartment complex where she lived. Video played at the trial shows Reyes molesting the girl in his car before dropping her off about 30 minutes later in a nearby parking lot.

Police arrested Reyes four days later after identifying his car through surveillance video.

Illinois schools work to repair elevated lead levels

DECATUR – A school district in central Illinois is taking steps to remediate areas with elevated lead levels after receiving results of state-mandated testing in six district buildings.

Decatur Public Schools spokeswoman Maria Robertson told the Herald & Review that the water sources found to have any trace of lead were shut off until repairs could be made. The Environmental Protection Agency’s federal standards require action to be taken if lead levels exceed 15 parts a billion. An Illinois law signed in January required schools to test and mandates that school districts notify parents and staff of results above 5 parts a billion.

Katie Miller, whose two daughters attend one of the schools being repaired, said she isn’t too concerned about the situation and that the district handled it well.

“They did the testing to make sure it’s corrected, and I’m comfortable with the fact that they’re keeping up with the testing,” she said. “I’m happy they did the testing and they were forthcoming

porary property tax freeze. Rauner rejected it, and Democrats pulled the plug on the grand bargain in March.

Illinois contributes only 24 percent of operating costs for kindergarten through 12th grade, said Ralph Martire, director of the nonprofit Center for Tax and Budget Accountability.

“School districts have had no option but to go after their local property tax base,” Martire said.

However, McHenry County Board Chairman Jack Franks, a Democrat and former state lawmaker, said Illinois’ high property tax burden – ranked fifth or sixth in the nation, according to Martire – prevents communities from attracting residents and business. Franks said allowing local governments to raise property taxes without putting the question to voters ignores “economic realities,” such as falling home values and population decline.

“When the people have less, the government has to spend less,” said Franks, who spearheaded a proposal for a permanent freeze while serving in the Illinois House. “If we don’t spend less, our exodus is going to continue.”

The Illinois House passed a proposal to permanently freeze property taxes in January on the final day of the last legislative session. A current version of that bill is in committee this session.

Wheeling pair sentenced in health care scam

CHICAGO – A chiropractor, as well as his father and his brother have been sentenced to prison in a phony-billing scheme that cheated insurers out of nearly $11 million.

A statement Wednesday from the U.S. attorney’s office in Chicago said their Wheeling company, Gordin Medical Center S.C., falsely billed carriers for services that were either not provided or that were unnecessary. They also falsified medical records in bids to conceal the scam.

The government’s sentencing memo described the clinic as a “front for false billing.” And it said “patient care was an afterthought.”

All three pleaded guilty to fraud. A judge this week sentenced 46-year-old Vladimir Gordin Jr. to seven years behind bars and 70-year-old Vladimir Gordin Sr. to two and a half years. The 34-year-old Alexsander Gordin received two years.

Tax plan includes relief for some, many unknowns

By STEPHEN OHLEMACHER The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump’s plan to overhaul the nation’s tax code could provide significant tax cuts for the working-class voters who elected him, but the unknowns could end up hurting many of these core supporters of the president. Here’s a look at how Trump’s tax plan could affect families at different income levels:

THE WORKING CLASS

These are the people who have been left behind by an increasingly globalized economy.

Trump’s proposal, a one-page outline short on detail, said he would double the standard tax deduction, which could provide significant relief to working-class families. But Trump’s top economic adviser used some bad math to describe the proposal, raising questions.

Gary Cohn said the standard deduction for a married couple would be doubled to $24,000. But that’s not double. The standard deduction for a married couple is $12,700, so double would be $25,400. Cohn said the deduction would create “a zero taxrate for the first $24,000.”

That sounds great, but very few families making $24,000 a year pay federal income tax, said Roberton Williams, a fellow at the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center. In fact, 44 percent of all U.S. households pay no federal income tax, although most pay other taxes.

Trump’s one-page sketch is silent on whether the tax code would still include the personal tax exemption, which allows most families to exempt $4,050 in income for each spouse and dependent child. In big families, this tax exemption can add up. During the campaign, Trump released a tax proposal that would eliminate the personal exemption.

Also during the campaign, Trump proposed getting rid of the “head of household” filing status, which is mainly used by single parents. This filing

Trump’s new plan is silent on this issue as well.

THE MIDDLE CLASS

The median household income in the U.S. is about $55,000, although people living in high-cost areas can make much more than that and still feel like they are in the middle class. Doubling the standard deduction – or at least raising it to $24,000 – could provide significant tax relief to middle-income families. But whether they pay more or less depends largely on details that have yet to be released.

One of those pesky details is how Trump will structure the tax rates on individual income.

Trump has proposed reducing the number of tax rates from seven to three – 10 percent, 25 percent and 35 percent. But the administration has yet to determine the income levels for people who would be put in each bracket.

to prevent high-income people from paying no income tax. It has evolved over the years and now impacts about 5 million households, most of them making between $200,000 and $1 million a year.

In 2005, Trump himself paid $36.5 million in taxes, mostly because of the AMT. Without it, he would have paid only $5.5 million, according to a leaked copy of that year’s return.

On the flip side, Trump wants to eliminate the deduction for state and local taxes, a big tax break that benefits millions, especially people living in Democratic-controlled states with high local taxes such as New York, New Jersey and California. Last year, more than 43 million families claimed the deduction, saving them nearly $70 billion.

THE SUPERRICH

These are the 1 percenters, people like Trump who make millions a year and are worth even more. Trump is proposing big tax cuts for the superrich, including repealing the estate tax. The federal estate tax is HIGH-INCOME FAMILIES Trump’s plan has the poten- widely misunderstood. The fact tial to provide big tax cuts to is it affects very few estates.

If your parents’ estate is high-income families – unless you live in a state with high worth less than $10.9 million, you don’t have to worry about state and local taxes.

Trump calls for eliminat- this tax. This year, about 5,200 ing the Alternative Minimum estates will pay the tax, accordTax, which was enacted in 1969 ing to the Tax Policy Center.

Motorcycle safety is a life-and-death matter for riders

Crashes involving motorcycles can be a particular danger each spring: Drivers fall into bad habits over the winter, when they mostly don’t have to worry about sharing the road, and motorcyclists still are brushing off their skills after months of unuse.

Driving a motorcycle comes with risks – it’s part of the thrill. But there is a simple way to make sure the consequence of enjoying the hobby don’t turn fatal: Wear a helmet.

Wearing a helmet is not required in Illinois, but there’s no arguing the benefits.

Across the state, of those who died in a motorcycle crashes in 2014, the most recent time frame for which numbers were available, only 28.8 percent were wearing helmets, according to the Illinois Department of Transportation.

“Most, if not all, motorcycle deaths have a component of head trauma,” McHenry County Coroner Anne Majewski told Shaw Media last week. “If there’s any potential for protection from fatal head injuries, helmets are an answer.”

Although helmets can prevent a crash from becoming deadly, an ounce of prevention goes a long way. That responsibility lies with all drivers.

IDOT’s “Start Seeing Motorcycles” campaign encourages drivers to stay alert and use extra caution around motorcycles. The Motorcycle Safety Foundation asks automobile drivers to allow more following distance for motorcycles; reserve judgment, understanding motorcyclists adjust lane position for a purpose and not to be reckless or show off; and complete lane maneuvers slowly, not expecting motorcyclists to always be able to dodge out of the way.

For motorcyclists, local experts recommend they know their bikes and how to use them. Keep all equipment well maintained, and update your skills by taking a refresher course, such as those offered each spring at Harper College.

The Motorcycle Safety Foundation also encourages riding defensively and within your skill limits, being as conspicuous as possible with bright clothing, decals and headlights on, and never operating a motorcycle while impaired by alcohol or other drugs.

Actually, that last one goes for all drivers.

Everybody on the road can do their part to help prevent motorcycle crashes, which too often can be fatal.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

ANOTHER VIEW

Change voting age to 17 The nearly 500 pieces of legislation that have been introduced around the country this year aimed at increasing voter participation include proposals to lower the voting age from 18 to 17.

Pennsylvania should adopt that change, and the U.S. Constitution should be amended to permit the lower voting age nationwide.

Young people who are 17 years old probably are more attuned to what’s happening in all levels of government than they’ve ever been. Thus, they should have the right to express their opinion about who should be elected for municipal offices up to the office of the president.

When the U.S. Constitution’s 26th Amendment was under consideration in 1970 – to lower the voting age to 18 from 21 – some people argued that 18-year-olds weren’t mature and responsible enough to be allowed to vote.

Those arguments proved to be unfounded, just like similar arguments would be regarding extending voting to 17-year-olds.

Actually, 17-year-olds already

can vote in primary elections and caucuses in a number of states. The organization FairVote, formerly the Center for Voting and Democracy, which advocates electoral reform in this country, reminds Pennsylvania that the closest states that have taken that step are Maryland, Ohio, Delaware and West Virginia.

Even 17-year-olds in the District of Columbia are permitted to vote in primaries. The important question: Why not in Pennsylvania?

In June 2015, then-Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton proposed that Americans automatically be registered to vote when they turn 18, unless they chose to opt out, which many might not do, even though they have no intention of voting.

That proposal was welcomed by many of Clinton’s campaign audiences, but a closer look at automatic registration indicates some counterproductive consequences.

The most important is that voter registration rolls shouldn’t

be burdened by those who choose not to exercise the important civic right and responsibility. At the same time, it’s appropriate to remind all registered voters that, at the time they registered, they accepted an obligation to go to the polls – not only for general elections, but for primary balloting as well.

But Clinton’s proposal isn’t the answer to guaranteeing high turnouts. Pennsylvania already makes it easy to register, even without an automatic system of registration.

Many high school seniors still are 17 when they graduate, and it’s at that time when those newly graduated individuals have to make important decisions about their lives, going forward.

With so many electronic communication devices available, young people have access to news and issues that their parents lacked.

Lower the voting age to 17, in Pennsylvania and nationally.

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.

Minooka’s Jon Butler (3) celebrates with his teammates after hitting a grand slam in the top of the fifth inning against Plainfield Central on Thursday at Plainfield Central High School.

ANSWERING THE BELL

Shepherd, Butler lead Minooka past Plainfield Central

By DRAKE SKLEBA

Shaw Media correspondent PLAINFIELD – In a crucial Southwest Prairie Conference baseball battle Thursday, Minooka senior right-hander Jackson Shepherd fired a two-hitter with four strikeouts against host Plainfield Central.

In addition, senior center fielder Jon Butler highlighted a nine-run fifth inning explosion with a grand

slam to help lead Minooka to a 12-1 victory in five innings.

“This was a great win for us in five innings,” Butler said. “ ‘Shep’ (Shepherd), was outstanding for us, and it was good for us to win this in five innings for him. With the new pitch-count rule, we saved him a number of pitches. I played well today, and this was really good for us after the loss to North (2-1 defeat on Tuesday).”

With the win, Shepherd improves to 6-0 on the season. The only negative about his start was by allowing an earned run in his five-inning performance, the minuscule 0.75 ERA he entered the game with was inflated to 0.84.

“Plainfield Central is a very good team, and I was able to really do my thing out there today,” Shepherd said. “My curve ball was working really nice for me, and I want to thank

my teammates for the big 12 runs.”

After picking up an unearned run in the top of the first, Indian shortstop Hayden Lazcynski went deep with a man on to give Minooka (14-7, 6-3) a 3-0 lead in the second inning. It was the third home run of the season for Lazcynski, who also picked up a third RBI in the nine-run fifth on a bases-loaded hit by pitch.

jwelge@shawmedia.com Garrett Goetz got a firsthand look at Plainfield North’s dominance last year.

Goetz and Oswego East lost four games to the Tigers, the last in regionals. Plainfield North ran away with the Southwest Prairie Conference title.

It’s a new year, and a new league.

And a very new Wolves’ team.

Goetz and Illinois recruit Dylan Jones both hit three-run homers, and Oswego East rallied from an early 6-0 deficit for a dramatic 12-11 win Thursday in the matchup of conference leaders in Plainfield.

Oswego East (20-2, 7-2), 12-19 last year, won its first 18 games this spring. After a loss to Joliet Central, the Wolves have won two of their first three against Plainfield South and Plainfield North.

“I think we’ve proven that we can hang with the big dogs,” said Goetz, committed to Waubonsee. “We’re

not just some team that you can take lightly. We’re going to be in this fight to the end.”

It came down to the end Thursday.

Plainfield North (15-5, 6-3), trailing 12-10 going into the bottom of the seventh, had the first three batters reach. Brady Miller’s RBI single closed the gap to 12-11.

After a sacrifice bunt, Alex Steinbach was walked intentionally to load the bases for sophomore Cam-

eron Kissel.

On the first pitch Kissel hit a one-hop smash to third, Oswego East threw home, then completed a game-ending double play.

“Our kid hit a rocket, it was right at them. What are you going to do?”

Plainfield North coach John Darlington said. “It’s part of the game.”

Darlington’s Tigers are getting used to these close calls.

This was their fifth one-run game in conference, third this week. On Tuesday they beat Minooka, 2-1, on Anthony Fumagalli’s walk-off hit.

It hardly looked like that would be the case Thursday. Gavin Doyle and Steinbach both doubled in runs in a five-run first inning, and it was 6-0 after two innings.

Doyle, who hit three homers earlier this year in a game and homered Tuesday, hit a solo shot in the fourth. Steinbach hit a two-run homer in the sixth.

“We hit the ball all day,” Darlington said. “We just couldn’t stop them. You get to the end of the week

with the pitching and pitch counts, this is what we got.”

Oswego East closed the gap with a four-run third inning. Trailing 8-5 going to the sixth, the Wolves tied it on Goetz’s two-out, three-run homer off Plainfield North’s third pitcher.

Mason Madalinski’s bloop single gave the Wolves their first lead, and Jones capped off the seven-run inning with his own three-run homer.

“This is huge,” said Jones, who earlier had a two-run single in the three-run third. “We’ve struggled against (Plainfield North) in past years. To be able to fight back like that was huge. This definitely shows that we’re for real.”

Miller was 4 for 5 and Doyle 3 for 5 for Plainfield North, whose schedule doesn’t get any easier. Undefeated Neuqua Valley comes in Friday for a nonconference game.

“We’re OK with that,” Darlington said. “If you want to walk around, puff your chest out and say you’re good you have to play the good teams. We like the competition.”

TRACK & FIELD: PLAINFIELD CENTRAL HUNT INVITE

Annual Hunt Invite is a special event in ‘Tracktown’

By JEFF DEGRAW

Shaw Media correspondent PLAINFIELD – It was a cold and windy Thursday night for a track meet in late April. But that didn’t damper the enthusiasm for one of the area’s best small meets of the season for boys and girls.

All four Plainfield schools gathered at Central’s new track facility for the 25th Annual Stephen P. Hunt Memorial Invitational. The meet is named in honor of the former Plainfield High School science teacher and coach who was one of the victims in the 1990 Plainfield tornado.

“We use this meet as a history lesson,” Central girls coach John Prieboy said. “You go to a lot of meets with a name attached. We want our kids to know why this meet takes place. It shows how the community of Plainfield has grown since the tragedy in 1990. The rebounding of the community corresponds with the rebound of track and field at all four schools. It’s great being part of a legacy.”

South’s boys coach Jason Crowe definitely remembers that sad day.

“I was on the practice football field at Joliet Catholic as a player that Au-

gust day,” Crowe said. “I remember that like it was yesterday. We educate all of our athletes on why we have this meet. We all need to know and remember. The pride in the Plainfield track and field community is really good.”

The individual and team champions have bragging rights for a year in Plainfield, commonly known in track circles as “Tracktown.”

But, as each team and athlete wants to win, what also is apparent is the togetherness all the athletes have in this community.

Team members from each school proudly wear T-shirts, in school colors, with Tracktown printed across the front.

“The culture all four schools have built in track and field in this community is unbelievable,” North boys coach Tony Holler said. “We have had a great run of athletes in our community, why not Tracktown. What is so great is that the other team is not the enemy. We all compete hard and want to win, but we are all in this together and that goes back to the leadership at all four of our schools.”

Holler also coaches one of the best sprinters in the state. Freshman

Marcellus Moore has the top times in the state in the 100 and 200 meters.

He also is the fastest freshman in the U.S. “He is such an unbelievable young man,” Holler said. “He is a team leader, has a great way with his teammates, is likable and very humble.

There is no way to predict a ceiling for an elite athlete like Marcellus.”

You understand what Holler was taking about when you speak with Moore.

“I really wasn’t expecting all of this as a freshman, but it’s exciting,” Moore said. “I have worked hard, but I also listen to my coaches. Rest has really helped me this year. We work, but we are ready for meets. I really like Coach Holler’s philosophy, I know have confidence running against older sprinters and my goal is to win state this year.”

Another youngster who is making noise on the state level is Central sophomore Geremiah Lawson. He has jumped 23-81/2” in the long jump, which is one of the top marks in the state.

“I didn’t expect any of this at all this season,” Lawson said. “My training has been real good and jumping

well has given me a ton of confidence.

But you have to stay humble. I don’t go into any meet expecting to win, because you have to earn it. I really want to go over 24 feet and win state.”

Two senior girls, Haley Stazak from North and Katie Wiatrak from East, know that this meet is special and is the last go-round for their high school career.

“This is a meet where you do what you can and score points for the team,” Stazak, a sprinter and hurdler, said. “It’s a special meet when it is just the Plainfield schools. My favorite event is the 300 hurdles and my goal is to run on the big blue track at the end of the season. Making it to state would be a great way to end my high school career.”

Wiatrak, with a season-best high jump of 5-5, is among the area leaders.

“Last year I only had a best of 5-1, and I knew this season was it,” Wiatrak said. “You have to make it count, take advantage of every senior moment. This is a great meet because of what it means and it’s just our schools. Because of my major in college, I don’t think I’ll compete, so this is it for me and my goal is to make it to state.”

“After having a tough outing against Plainfield North on Tuesday, it felt really nice to hit the home run and get the big win,” Lazcynski said.

“Shep pitched a great game, and I hit the homer for our manager, Drew Turek.”

In the nine-run fifth, junior Cole Alstott had an RBI single and senior Grant Olson hammered a pinch-hit, two-run double for the Indians. Butler’s slam made the score 11-0, and a pinch-hit sacrifice fly by junior Zach Loras concluded the Indians onslaught. Senior Logan O’Brien tied a record, held by many, when he singled and doubled in the same inning.

“It felt good to get the two hits in the inning and have some fun today,” O’Brien said. “It was especially good to bounce back from the North game.”

Plainfield Central (16-6, 6-4) scored its only run in the bottom of the fifth on a sacrifice fly from senior Sean Eulitz to score junior Zach Hafner, who was hit by a pitch.

22 BOYS WATER POLO: LINCOLN-WAY EAST 13, BRADLEY-BOURBONNAIS 2

Lincoln-Way East looks to return to state

By CURT HERRON

cherron@shawmedia.com FRANKFORT – After earning its first state appearance in nine seasons and just missing out on its first trophy, there was some concern about how good Lincoln-Way East’s boys water polo team would be this season.

While some players graduated and others moved to Lincoln-Way Central, this season’s team, featuring athletes from East and the former North campus, clearly hasn’t missed a beat.

The Griffins, who have won 15 straight since a loss on March 28, captured a 13-2 SouthWest Suburban Conference victory over Bradley-Bourbonnais on Thursday.

Coach Ryan Lodes’ team, which is seventh in the illpolo.com rankings, improved to 20-3 overall and 13-1 in the SWSC. They’ve lost twice to topranked Stevenson and are unbeaten against teams they will compete

against in the Lincoln-Way Central Sectional.

In the seeds that were announced Thursday by the IHSA, East is No. 1 and Sandburg is second with Homewood-Flossmoor, Andrew and Lincoln-Way Central next in line.

“Last year’s North and East game in the sectional semifinal was a fantastic game,” Lodes said. “But what people might not realize about that game is that a lot of juniors played. I feel what East lost, going over to Central, it was more than supplemented with the North kids. Pat Shaughnessy did a great job at North and Zach Van Swol did a fantastic job at East.

“Today we dressed 21 guys, and I wouldn’t chooses a different 21 guys in the state. I know that they’ll do anything for me and I’ll do anything for them, and I hope that sentiment gets carried all the way through the end of sectionals and into the first round of state. We want to continue to grow as a team and become closer

and want to look very good on that last push.”

Jonathan Limp, a senior who’s one of the returners from last year’s team that lost a heartbreaker to St. Ignatius in the quarterfinals, is excited about how things are unfolding.

“North’s guys have come over and filled in the gaps and we’re working just as well as we did last year,” Limp said. “I’ve known North’s guys in outof-season water polo in club for years and we’ve come together. We’re not playing the same as last year, but as different people come in, we learn what we’re good at and have adjusted just fine. We pass the ball really well and have a lot of good communication. Teamwork is the key. There’s no one star player, we’re all in this together because if you don’t work together, then you don’t win.”

On Thursday, East got multiple goals from Andrew Brozovic, Noah Schor, Tom Trojniar and Luke McGuire while Jared Bruni, Tyler Orloff, Ryan Utt and Jason Parkinson

also connected. Collin McGovern stepped in for usual goalie Shawn Shields.

Just how close the Griffins are as a team is shown by friendships like the one between former North player Ryan Murphy and Limp. The pair, who both will attend Purdue to pursue engineering degrees, have known each other for some time, going back to their club days.

“We started with our camp in the summer and that’s the first time that we all came together,” Murphy said. “Before school even started we were getting to know each other, and that was a key and that’s what’s contributed to us playing well. It comes down to being friends. It’s just a change of schools, not a change of team or people. It’s good to see these new play styles and then coming together as a team and playing as well as we are. Our team and East were based on teamwork last year, and all of this year’s success has come from the team.”

WRESTLING

Several area individuals honored by the IWCOA SUBMITTED REPORTS COUNTRYSIDE – Several area individuals were honored over the weekend at the Illinois Wrestling Coaches and Officials Hall of Fame and All-State Awards banquets.

On Saturday, Lincoln-Way West and Central coach and Providence wrestler Mark Ruettiger received the Lifetime Achievement Award, while former Morris coach and wrestler George Dergo and Lincoln-Way wrestler Shane Zajac also were inducted into the Hall of Fame.

The next day, Lincoln-Way West coach Brian Glynn was recognized as Class 3A Coach of the Year, and Warriors athletic director Ted Robbins was honored as the Class 3A Administrator of the Year. In addition, Lockport’s Matt Bartley was selected as Class 3A Assistant Coach of the Year, and St. Rita’s Austin O’Connor, who lives in Lockport, was named as the organization’s Class 3A Outstanding Wrestler of the Year.

Ruettiger, Illinois’ first four-time state champion who also enjoyed a successful career as Knights coach before becoming a Warriors assistant, was humbled to be honored.

“The sport of wrestling has giv-

proudest moments in the sport of wrestling.”

Glynn was recognized for leading the Warriors to a 24-4 record and

earning the program’s second state appearance and first trophy in the sport after claiming third place.

“This is such a great honor to be recognized by my peers and coaches around the state for all the hard work the coaching staff and wrestlers put in this year,” Glynn said.

Robbins, a longtime administrator at both Lincoln-Way’s Central and West campuses, has hosted numerous postseason tournaments over the years.

“I am humbled and honored to receive such a prestigious award from the IWCOA,” Robbins said. “The Lincoln-Way community has always been one of the premier wrestling areas in the state, and being a part of that great tradition has been an honor and privilege. We have great support from the Lincoln-Way High School District 210 administration, Dr. (Monica) Schmitt, and the parents who make all these awards possible.”

Bartley is a longtime assistant under both Joe Williams and current coach Josh Oster and was on a staff that led the Porters to a 29-0 mark and their first state title. And O’Connor capped his historic career by becoming one the state’s few four-time champions.

BEARS: NFL DRAFT

From 2014 to ’15, Trubisky threw 11 touchdowns and five interceptions while attempting 125 passes playing behind Marqise Williams. At the NFL Scouting Combine, Trubisky showed

off his athleticism with a 4.67-second 40-yard dash and a 6.87-second threecone drill.

The Bears did not bring Trubisky in for a visit at Halas Hall, but they did work him out.

Offensive draft early; QBs prized after Garrett is No. 1

By BARRY WILNER

The Associated Press PHILADELPHIA – With defensive studs everywhere in this draft, NFL teams turned offensive. With an emphasis on quarterbacks.

Hardly stunning in a pass-happy league, except that no quarterbacks in this crop have been highly touted. Yet three went in the first dozen Thursday night, with two whopping trades putting the Bears and Chiefs in position to grab QBs. The Bears paid a whopping price to move up one spot to second overall for North Carolina’s Mitchell Trubisky.

Kansas City gave up its first-rounder next year to go from 27th to 10th for Texas Tech’s Patrick Mahomes.

Altogether, eight of the first dozen picks were to aid offenses, including Clemson QB Deshaun Watson to Houston – which also traded up for a passer.

All of which overshadowed the predictable at the top of the draft: Roger Goodell got booed, then Myles Garrett was picked first by the Cleveland Browns.

“C’mon, Philly, c’mon,” Goodell said Thursday night amid the boos, not even wincing at the reception. Moments later, he was back onstage announcing the Texas A&M defensive end’s name. Garrett, a junior and All-American considered the best pass rusher in this crop, is the first Aggie selected No. 1 overall.

Garrett was not on hand, but promised Cleveland fans “great things are coming.” Cleveland went 1-15 last season and has holes everywhere. It ranked 31st defensively and had only 26 sacks.

Then the Bears sent a third-round pick, a fourth and a 2018 third to San Francisco to switch that one slot and take Trubisky, who started only 13 games for North Carolina.

“It was crazy,” Trubisky said. “There

was no call. I didn’t think I was going to be picked until the commissioner said my name.”

San Francisco was up next, and new general manager John Lynch already was looking good for bringing in such a haul to drop back to No. 3. The 49ers took DE Solomon Thomas from just down the road at Stanford.

One player whose status was uncertain, Ohio State cornerback Gareon Conley, was drafted by Oakland at No. 24. He has decried allegations that he raped a woman as “completely false” and no charges have been filed as police investigate claims made by a 23-year-old woman. Conley was named in a police report that details the allegations but no information has been forwarded to prosecutors.

For much of the round, it was an offensive draft.

“We had a lot of scenarios, but we did not have any scenarios like what’s

happened here,” Eagles executive vice president of football operations Howie Roseman said.

LSU running back Leonard Fournette, who some scouts compared to Adrian Peterson, went to Jacksonville; new Jaguars boss Tom Coughlin is enamored of powerful running backs.

“He’s special,” Coughlin said. “We need playmakers. We need people to put the ball in the end zone. We need to do something about balance. We need to do something about creating a better situation where the quarterback doesn’t have the entire game on his shoulders.”

Another LSU player, safety Jamal Adams, whose father, George, was an NFLer, was taken by the New York Jets, one pick after Tennessee, needing an upgrade at wide receiver, selected Corey Davis of Western Michigan. Davis is the FBS career leader in receiving yards with 5,285 and was a key to the Broncos’ turnaround last season.

• Friday, April 28, 2017

In a monumental decision that could alter the future of the Bears, general manager Ryan Pace made a shocking move and traded up to the No. 2 spot to select North Carolina quarterback Mitchell Trubisky.

The Bears traded the 49ers their No. 3 pick, third-round pick (67th overall), fourth-round pick (111th overall) and a 2018 third-rounder to move up one spot.

“I didn’t see that coming at all. I was surprised,” Trubisky said on a conference call. “I’m glad they came up and got me at No. 2. I think it shows that they believe in me. And I believe in what Ryan Pace and Coach (John) Fox are doing in Chicago, and I can’t wait to be a part of it.”

The 6-foot-2, 222-pound Trubisky completed 68 percent of his passes last season and threw 30 touchdowns to only six interceptions for the Tar Heels during his first and only season as a full-time starter.

“I would definitely say my accuracy and my ability to make all the throws on the field, my decision-making, and probably my poise and calmness,” Trubisky said of his traits. “Aside from that, the things you can’t measure, my

the-field throwing action,” he said.

“I guess they just wanted to see how I was progressing under center and if I could make all the NFL throws. I think they were impressed with the day I had.”

Trubisky is the first quarterback the Bears have taken in the first round since Rex Grossman in 2003.

In March, the Bears signed Mike Glennon to be their starting quarterback for at least 2017. He received $18.5 million guaranteed, but most of it is being paid to Glennon for the 2017 season, which means the Bears can move on after one season. He is under contract through 2019.

“It is what it is. I’m going to come in and learn as much as I can from Mike and the other veterans on the team,” Trubisky said. “I mean, I’m always going to compete and do my thing and push the guy in front of me and my teammates as well. When given my opportunity, I’m looking forward to take full advantage of it. It’s all about helping the Chicago Bears win and that’s what I’m looking forward to most.”

Trubisky will be Glennon’s backup as a rookie and could be the first quarterback taken in the top five picks since Philip Rivers in 2004 to not start a game in his first season.

26 BULLS

Elimination game perfect spot for Wade

By JOE COWLEY

jcowley@suntimes.com CHICAGO – Most of this roster hadn’t seen a playoff game, let alone a playoff game that now puts the Bulls on the brink of elimination.

That’s exactly what’s at stake in Friday’s Game 6, however: Win or go home.

A perfect Dwyane Wade moment.

Really, it was a huge reason that Wade was added to the roster last offseason. Sure, the second-option scoring is nice, but at 35 years old and the bearer of three championship rings, Wade is that voice of reason, that teacher of experience.

School is in session.

“You can’t think about one game from elimination,” Wade said, when asked what advice he would be handing out the next 24 hours. “You have to focus on what you can control. You go and watch the film and control how to play your minutes better, how to be better in your minutes, how to help your team, how to give your all the next outing.”

There was a lot Wade liked in the Game 5 loss in the TD Garden.

Isaiah Canaan held Boston’s most le-

thal offensive weapon in Isaiah Thomas to 1 for 8 from 3-point range, Robin Lopez was again productive in the middle, and more importantly, the Bulls were in control of the game for 31/2 quarters.

A 20-4 Boston run that included two technicals handed out to Wade and Lopez stained the game in the end, but Wade made sure to let his teammates know that it was a game there for the taking.

“I’m just letting these guys know, and it’s a lot of these guys’ first time in it, that we’re not going to get a call on the road, to our liking,” Wade said. “Not saying we don’t get any calls, but to our liking, the home team is gonna get a little more cooking than you, and the emotions run high in the game. Unfortunately, we got a few techs at the end, but emotions run high. I’ll take that. I’d rather see that than see nothing. It shows that people care. I’m fine with everything that happened.”

He especially should be fine with his own performance.

Wade finally had that breakout game in the playoffs, scoring 26 points, as well as grabbing 11 rebounds and handing out eight assists.

Bulls vs. Celtics

Bulls coach Fred Hoiberg talks with guard Dwyane Wade during a break in the second quarter of a first-round playoff game against the Celtics on Wednesday in Boston.

“D-Wade had it going,” teammate Jimmy Butler said. “We just tried to ride him down the stretch.”

But Friday is a game in which the Bulls need to ride Wade, as well as Butler. The lingering concern? As the Sun-Times reported Wednesday, Butler is dealing with knee soreness that he has opted to play through. Coach Fred Hoiberg confirmed that Thursday, saying that Butler would be receiving treatment around the clock.

So what Butler can give exactly remains to be seen. What needs to be seen?

Not dwelling on the negative.

Sunday, April 16: Bulls 106, Celtics 102 Tuesday, April 18: Bulls 111, Celtics, 97 Friday, April 21: Celtics 104, Bulls 87 Sunday, April 23: Celtics 104, Bulls 95 Wednesday, April 26: Celtics 108, Bulls 97, Boston leads series, 3-2 Friday, April 28: Boston at Bulls, 7 p.m., CSN, ESPN x-Sunday, April 30: Bulls at Boston, TBA

x-if necessary

“We’re going home where we lost the last two,” Wade said. “Focus on the game at hand. Don’t focus on it being an elimination game. That does nothing for you.

“We’re in a good place. It’s just weird because we won the first two [in Boston] and then they came and won the next two, but we’re right exactly how it should be – 3-2 going into Game 6 in Chicago, and it’s up to us to win the ballgame and bring it back [to Boston].”

Justice for All. One Case at a Time.

41 years of Corvettes and camaraderie

Corvettes Unlimited hosting annual show at Hawk Chevrolet

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

JOLIET – “These guys are diehard Corvette people.”

And then Debbie Slaboszewski, who does publicity for the Joliet club, also said, “Even the gal at the dealership said she’s never met a group of guys that know their cars, if it has original parts, things like that.”

The club is Corvettes Unlimited.

The dealership is Hawk Chevrolet of Joliet, the club’s sponsor, which took over the sponsorship from the former Bill Jacobs Chevrolet.

On Sunday, Corvettes Unlimited is hosting its 41st annual Indoor Corvette Show & G.M. Parts Swap inside Hawk Chevrolet, where the club holds its meetings. Admission will be donated to Joliet Easterseals Region.

“There will be cars from all different years. I think 1957 might the earliest car there,” said Slaboszewski, of Joliet. “And then there’s some new ones, some just a couple years old.”

Slaboszewski said the show attracts Corvette owners as well as the general public. This show is the only Corvette-only show for miles around, she said.

“People are just fascinated with Corvettes so they go to see different kinds,” Slaboszewski said. “I think they’re unique. The body style is different. They’re fast. And they’re pretty. I know guys don’t want to say a car is pretty, but they are. They’re very nice-looking vehicles.”

If the weather is nice, Corvette owners are welcome to park their cars in the outdoor corrals for others to see, Slaboszewski said. Slaboszewski doesn’t own one, but her husband, Jim Slaboszewski, does – a 2007 – which is fun to ride in, she said.

“With the windows down and the wind blowing through your hair,” Slaboszewski said.

A flyer on the windshield

That’s how Club President Frank Garrone of Shorewood learned about Corvettes Unlimited.

“There was an individual – Don Zoran – who went around the city with a notice if anyone was interested in getting together – Corvette owners – to meet at Inwood on a Sunday in Feb-

When Corvettes Unlimited participated at the World Of Wheels at the Rosemont Convention Center in Joliet, its sponsor, Hawk Chevrolet of Joliet, applied custom graphics on a 2017 Grand Sport Corvette to promote the club’s 41st annual show April 30 at the dealership.

ruary 1976,” Garrone said. “A whole bunch of us showed up in the rain and the cold at Inwood Golf Course.”

Garrone missed the second meeting in May, but he was back in June and stayed ever since. The Joliet Corvette Club, which had its heyday in the 1960s, already had disbanded, Garrone said.

Corvettes Unlimited provided an opportunity for owners to swap knowledge and enjoy camaraderie, Garrone said. When members were young, they enjoyed racing around cones in parking lots.

Corvettes Unlimited also donates about $500 a month to various charities, such as St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and MorningStar Mission in Joliet. Most of this money is generated through the annual car show, Garrone said.

“We basically turn around and give it away,” Garrone said.

Like many clubs, Corvettes Unlimited isn’t attracting young members.

Garrone feels this is because that generation doesn’t perceive cars the same way his did.

“When I was growing up, your life revolved around your vehicle. It was freedom. You did everything with your car,” Garrone said. “It was my chance to leave the nest and experience a whole bunch of other things.

Today that isn’t so.”

Garrone owns a 1966 coupe, a 1971 coupe and a 2013 convertable.

The Corvette that came full circle

In 1962, Don Picha of Plainfield bought his first Corvette, brand new.

But when “our little guy” came along, the car didn’t have room for three, so Picha sold it. In 1978, Picha decided to buy another Corvette.

Picha called Bill Jacobs and said he was interested in an early car. To Picha’s surprise, the car dealer had a 1962. Picha double-checked the serial number. Five owners later, Picha had his car back.

He joined Corvettes Unlimited 38 years ago. Through the years, he’s owned 21 Corvettes. He owns four now, all older models. He also restores Corvettes, his “retirement job and hobby.”

What makes Corvettes so alluring?

Picha echoed Slaboszewski.

“They’re unique,” Picha said.

CREATIVE ON MANY LEVELS

Teen vocalist Micaela Beck doesn’t limit her artistic expression

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

MANHATTAN – Micaela Beck of Manhattan has sung at St. Joseph Catholic Church in Manhattan, with the choir at Lincoln-Way West High School and as part of a national ensemble.

Gregory Day, the artistic director for the Lincoln-Way Area Chorale and Beck’s private voice teacher for the past four years, said he rarely sees a vocalist with Beck’s abilities on the local level.

“She has highly relative pitch, which is very rare, and she has wonderful tone quality,” Day said. “Her musicianship is very, very high and years beyond her chronological age.

She has all the pieces of the puzzle to make the puzzle complete as a musician.”

Despite these lauds, Beck, a high school senior, is not planning to sing for a career. She’s planning to teach English and is debating whether to attend Grand Canyon University in Arizona or the University of St. Francis in Joliet.

“I had to choose between music and teaching,” Beck said. “And I love teaching, as well. I taught piano to four students and voice to one of them.

It was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. I love helping other students develop their gifts.”

But why not become a music teacher?

“I love the written word,” Beck said. “I love to read stories. I love to find myself through stories and making stories and other worlds and different creations.”

Beck said she’s even written a fantasy book that she hopes to publish one day, a project that took her three years, starting when she was a freshman. But Beck also knows developing one’s art takes time.

Her mother, Carissa Beck, was a piano teacher, so Beck began taking lessons at age 5. Beck said she enjoys playing a variety of pieces, especially classical ones. And that variety widens when it comes to singing.

“I like singing to the radio. I like singing for church. I like singing choir pieces,” Beck said. “My playlist is kind of a mix of everything.”

Micaela Beck of Manhattan has sung in church, with school choirs and in a national competition.

Nevertheless, Beck’s glad for the opportunity to learn from Day as music will always be a large part of her life. She hopes to teach music and

voice into college and beyond.

“They [the lessons] challenged me to grow stronger in my voice, to take on other pieces of music that we have not learned in choir, to increase my range and make my tone better and get familiar with more difficult pieces of music,” Beck said.

Beck encouraged other teen vocalists to audition for national ensembles if they have the chance. In November, Beck sang as part of a National Association for Music Education ensemble.

“It was truly a magical experience, singing with teens from all over the country who love music as much as I do and singing under the direction of a renowned director who brought the best out of all of us,” Beck said in an email.

Musical goal: “To bring others joy and bring them closer to God.” Benefits of art: “In trying different things, we find out who we are.”

Words of wisdom: “Try everything and be open to different areas, even if it’s just for a couple of days or for a year...You may find something else you didn’t know you could do.”

Plainfield woman wins photo contest Plainfield resident Robin Kosiek’s photo of a tiny water drop made a big splash by taking first place in the Will County Forest Preserve’s Wonders of Water photo contest.

Kosiek’s winning photo featured a water droplet clinging to the tip of a delicate branch at Hammel Woods in Shorewood. Kosiek said she was encouraged to enter the contest by a friend.

The winning shot was one of six photos selected as finalists from about 220 entries submitted by more than 50 participants during the six-week contest, which ended March 11.

Coming in second was Jamie Sariyavong of Joliet, who snapped a picture of rushing water cascading over rocks at Isle a la Cache preserve in Romeoville.

Third place was awarded to Kathy Bobal of Braidwood for a photo of

swirling water taken at Hammel Woods. Bobal said she began exploring the preserves to get in her 10,000 steps a day.

The top three photos were chosen online by voters who either liked or commented on their favorite photo via the district’s Facebook page, www. facebook.com/willcoforests.

All of the photo entries have been posted on the district’s Flickr account at www.flickr.com/photos/willcoforests.

The photo contest was inspired by “Water Ways,” a traveling Smithsonian Institution exhibit created in collaboration with Illinois Humanities that was on display at the district’s Four Rivers Environmental Education Center in Channahon during the same six-week period as the photo contest.

SUDOKU

ASK THE DOCTORS Robert Ashley vinegar group a decrease in food intake and a decrease in body weight. The authors proposed that apple cider vinegar had an effect of reducing appetite. Again, the number of rats in the study was small, with only six in the apple cider vinegar group.

Obviously, rodents are not humans, but that said, many studies of humans have shown vinegar reduces the glycemic response and the glycemic index of sugars and carbohydrates.

Vinegar itself may help lower blood sugar, but the mechanism of action is not understood.

Along those lines, a 2004 study looked at 11 patients who had insulin resistance and 10 patients who had Type 2 diabetes. Compared with a placebo, apple cider vinegar improved insulin’s ability to bring sugar out of the bloodstream and into the cells of the body.

Also, apple cider vinegar decreased the rise of both sugar and insulin when the subjects were given a bagel and orange juice – normally insulin- and glucose-spiking foods.

Lastly, in a Swedish study of 12 healthy males given bread both with and without white vinegar, those who consumed the vinegar showed a lowering of blood sugar and insulin. Those who consumed the vinegar also felt full more quickly.

So the benefit of apple cider vinegar may be in vinegar itself, not anything specific to the fermentation of apples. But because the studies didn’t all concern humans and weren’t conducted long-term, it’s difficult to make a conclusion about the benefits of apple cider vinegar or any other vinegar.

Dear Doctor: What are the benefits of apple cider vinegar? I hear about it on social media, but I don’t understand how vinegar can lead to weight loss or help me control my blood sugar.

Dear Reader: My mom is a big proponent of apple cider vinegar. She likes to put it on her salads and vegetables, or just drink a spoonful of it. I am somewhat dubious about her claims of its health benefits, but I also am skeptical of my own resistance to accepting her belief.

Vinegar is created by the fermentation of many natural substances, including grapes, sugar cane, rice and, in this case, apples. The fermentation process produces acetic acid of various concentrations. With apple cider vinegar, the acidity is fairly high – at a pH of about 3 on a scale of 0 to 14 (a pH of 1 to 7 is acidic).

Apple cider vinegar also contains many polyphenols, or plant-based compounds. These antioxidant compounds have been shown to decrease blood pressure in laboratory animals, improve the ability to metabolize sugar and have beneficial effects on cholesterol.

Now let’s analyze the potential medical benefits of apple cider vinegar. In one interesting study, researchers removed the ovaries of mice to increase their oxidative stress and to mimic menopause; then they fed the mice a high-cholesterol diet. One group of mice was given apple cider vinegar, while another group was not. The mice given apple cider vinegar had improvements in their cholesterol; a decrease in the oxidation of LDL, the so-called “bad” cholesterol; and an increase in the antioxidant glutathione. However, there were only 10 mice in each of the groups, so the numbers don’t carry much power.

In a French study of rats fed a high-fat diet and apple cider vinegar, researchers found a decrease in blood sugar and benefits in all cholesterol numbers – triglycerides, LDL cholesterol and HDL cholesterol.

I’m 15. I lost my dad two months ago. I found him when I got out of the shower. He had overdosed on heroin.

Heroin controlled Dad’s life ever since I was little, but that never stopped me from being me. My family has had it pretty rough, but that never stopped me from being me, either.

I can’t process the thought of losing my dad completely. I’m scared without him. The mental picture comes back to me randomly throughout the day. I can’t take it anymore.

I know he’s at peace now, but I still feel as if it’s my fault he’s dead because I took a shower and wasn’t with him. I feel as if it should have been me, not him. He had just gotten out of jail a month before he died.

I can’t keep crying myself to sleep. I need a way to cope, and right now I feel as if I’m at rock bottom and can’t return. I just want to be normal like the kids I go to school with. Why can’t I be a normal teen? – Rock Bottom Teen Dear Rock Bottom: I am so sorry for what you have been going through. You are a normal teen, and in my opinion, you are much more resilient than you think you are.

You have had a terrible shock, and in addition to the normal grieving process, you may be suffering from survivor guilt. Your father did not die because you took a shower.

He died because he had a heroin addiction he couldn’t conquer.

It is very important that you talk with a grief counselor and possibly join a grief support group. If your family can’t arrange counseling for you, please talk with a school counselor or your clergyperson.

There is a light at the end of this dark tunnel, and you’ll start seeing it once you get some professional help.

Dear Abby: I’ve been reading your column for years, but never thought I’d have to write to you. This year my aunt hosted a family dinner and did a wonderful job – everything was delicious.

There was only one problem. She was upset (everyone at the table could see it and feel the tension) because I ate “too much” meat and she didn’t have enough for leftovers.

I did eat more than everyone else that night (doesn’t happen often), but I say if the food is on the table, it’s fair game. If you don’t want people to eat it, don’t serve it. I’m asking for an official ruling, please. – Overate In

FRIDAY HOROSCOPE

By EUGENIA LAST

Newspaper Enterprise Association TODAY – Find the best way to help others or causes that concern you without getting into a precarious position. Make sure you understand what you are getting into before you take on responsibilities that belong to someone else.

Strive for greater equality as you move forward.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – You’ll encounter someone unique or have the chance to experience a different culture or way of doing things.

What you learn will influence the way you do things in the future.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Control your emotions. Don’t act out or make assumptions. It’s

important to gather all the facts before you take on someone or something daunting. Preparation is your greatest ally.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Dig deep, ask questions and don’t feel the necessity to make a decision or lend a helping hand until you feel comfortable doing so. Exaggeration or false information is apparent.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – The help you offer others will give you a vantage point that will be difficult for your competition to deal with. Stay on top of your game and play to win.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Emotional matters will leave you confused. Ask questions and look for the source of the problem. Knowing what you are up against can help you avoid being manipu-

lated or blamed for something you didn’t do.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Stay on top of matters. Don’t let anyone intervene in your affairs.

An emotional encounter with a co-worker should be dealt with openly and honestly to avoid rumors. Learn from experience.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Something will come to you from an unusual source. Emotional confusion and uncertainty will prompt questions.

Find out all you can and keep moving forward.

Accept the inevitable.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – You can bring about positive personal change if you put a little muscle behind your plans. Use facts and experience to explain your actions if someone overreacts.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Avoid making

snap decisions or taking on responsibilities that don’t belong to you. You can stabilize a situation by offering suggestions, but don’t take on a burden that will stifle your goals.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Be careful not to take on more than you can handle. Sticking to basics and ironing out any trouble spots before it’s too late will help you reach your goal.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – You’ll face opposition if you are too open about your feelings.

Don’t get into an argument over something that is based on an assumption.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Sign up for something that connects you to your past. Attending a reunion or gathering of old friends will encourage you to do things you used to enjoy.

Rube Goldberg, who won a Pulitzer Prize in 1948, is best known for a series of cartoons depicting complicated gadgets that perform simple tasks in indirect, convoluted ways.

Some bridge players can get like that, thinking in convoluted ways instead of in straight lines. In today’s deal, for example, how should South play in seven hearts after West leads the club king?

First, note South’s four-heart jump advance of his partner’s takeout double. Remember that a bid of three hearts would have promised nothing (although North would have assumed his partner had six or seven points).

So, South’s jump suggested 9-11 points, which is what he had! Now North, envisioning a slam, used two doses of Blackwood. He would have felt much more comfortable using Roman Key Card Blackwood, because he would have known about South’s heart king-queen. (South would have replied five spades to four no-trump to show the trump queen and two key cards, an ace and the trump king, or two aces.) Still, North was confident that his partner would not have the club ace and king, so took a slight chance on the heart suit in jumping to the grand slam.

Declarer has 11 top tricks: two spades, five hearts, three diamonds and one club. He cannot establish an extra winner anywhere, so must ruff two clubs on the board to bring his trick total up to 13. South should win with his club ace, ruff a club high, cross back to hand with a trump, ruff another club high, draw trumps and claim.
