Providing the facts and perspective in all that we cover It was a tough week to cover news in Joliet.

But our job is to bring that news to people, and also lend whatever perspective we can.

Within that, there is plenty of space to criticize our work, story focus and execution.

The case of Semaj Crosby, first missing and then found dead in her home, was particularly tough to cover because there are so many unknown elements.

And, as it progresses, the Facebook comment crowd gets ahead of itself on both blame and deductions. The Will County Sheriff’s Office even sent out a news release on Friday asking for patience in the investigation, partially aimed at the Facebook commenters.

Our goal and purpose is to steer clear of that, report the facts and explain their relevance as best we can.

One point that was disputed by at least one commenter was whether the fact that the Department of Child and Family Services had opened two investigations regarding the children at the home and that DCFS had been to the home the day Semaj went missing was relevant.

We weren’t the first to report that fact, and we make our decisions independent from other media outlets, but we looked

VIEWS Jon Styf at the situation and felt that it was relevant as the search for Semaj progressed, so we sought the information and then reported it. Those facts remain relevant now, and we will continue to look to report more facts to the public on the case.

Our job is not to control or engage with the conclusions or theories the public comes up with based on those facts.

We simply report them, and strive to provide the most context possible for the public to gain more factual knowledge on the case.

That same approach applies to everything we cover, from football games to traffic accidents to the meetings of public entities.

Rather than report that officials got a raise or not, we report the specific amount of the official’s salary and how much it went up or down. Those are public records, expenses paid by your tax dollars, and you deserve to know.

When staff reductions occur, we report those numbers and try to provide context as well. Because 10 staff positions in Plainfield District 202, which serves near-

ly 28,000 students, is far different from 10 staff positions at Nettle Creek District 24 in Morris, which has fewer than 100 total students and one classroom apiece from grades kindergarten through eight.

And the same applies to the public issue of Shorewood Mayor Rick Chapman using village gas. We got both sides of the story, and we also requested the public documents and did the math on how much his gas use cost the village and the comparison of what it would have cost if he had instead filed expense reports for mileage (at a rate of 30 cents per mile, per village code) and had those expenses and that mileage approved by trustees.

Then, our Editorial Board commented on the topic of public concern as well.

Our role here is to inform you in the best way that we can, provide commentary from our Editorial Board when we deem fit, and provide you with the perspective to develop your own opinions on matters of public interest.

My goal each day is to make that happen.

Bolingbrook murder suspect returns to jail

By BRIAN STANLEY

bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A Bolingbrook woman who was out on bond while awaiting sentencing on a murder charge has been sent back to jail. Prosecutors on Thursday asked Judge Dave Carlson to revoke bond on Michele A. Evans, 52, after she was charged with drug possession in Kendall County.

According to court records, on April 13, Oswego police were called to the parking lot of McDonald’s, 339 Douglas Road, after receiving a report of a suicidal woman in a vehicle. Evans was hospitalized and police

allegedly found cocaine, marijuana and drug paraphernalia in the car.

“I’m more concerned with the reason police were called in the first place,” Carlson told Evans during a hearing Friday.

In February, Evans made a “blind plea” to one count of second-degree murder in exchange for first-degree murder charges being dropped. She is scheduled to be sentenced next month and faces four to 20 years in prison. Evans had no prior criminal record and could receive probation.

Police said that, on April 16, 2015, Michele Evans stabbed David Evans, 55, twice in the chest with a kitchen knife after an

argument at their home in the 500 block of Bloomfield Drive in Bolingbrook. David Evans died the next day and Michele Evans was arrested.

Defense attorney Joel Brodsky said last year that a psychologist has determined Michele Evans was suffering from “battered-woman syndrome” at the time and acted in self-defense. The couple had lived in their house for more than 25 years and had two daughters who were not living with them. According to police reports, officers were called to the house six times in 15 years for domestic violence, noise complaints and dog complaints.

Trump proposes 97 percent funding cut to Great Lakes Restoration Initiative

By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com LOCKPORT – Brennan Caputo reached down to pick up an orange-ish, diagonally scaled fish that had just been caught in a gillnet in the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal.

The plump 10-pounder was a common carp.

“That was one more than I expected to catch today,” said Caputo, an Illinois Department of Natural Resources aquatic nuisance species specialist.

Caputo, who was with a pair of commercial fishermen contracted through the IDNR to help remove invasive species such as Asian carp from various Illinois waterways, was expecting no fish, because of the canal’s notoriously poor water quality and series of locks that prevent fish movement.

The objective that sunny Tuesday morning was to ensure Asian carp hadn’t advanced up the canal.

The crew fished for a few hours south of a series of electrical barriers in Romeoville that beam through the canal waters and act as last lines of defense to keep Asian carp from approaching and entering Lake Michigan.

Biologists believe Asian carp could decimate native fish populations in the Great Lakes by outcompeting young natives for the precious plankton they rely on. Asian carp eat up to 20 percent of their body weight a day in plankton and can grow to more than 100 pounds.

IDNR Aquaculture and Aquatic Nuisance Species program manager Kevin Irons was encouraged by the news that only one common carp was caught.

“We’re much more informed about where fish are and aren’t,” Irons said, comparing the department’s knowledge now to when it started removing carp from rivers five years ago. “It’s very important that we continue that.”

Caputo placed a small blue tag into the common carp’s back and clipped off a tiny piece of its fin before releasing it back to the canal.

Anyone who catches a tagged fish can call a number on the tag and report its location and size. It helps the IDNR track fish movement.

“We want an idea of how fish are moving,” Irons said. “Common carp and Asian carp move somewhat together. We often find common carp in other areas with Asian carp. Tracking is one of the best tools we have. If we find them in a new area, we can make assump-

Although the common carp isn’t considered a nuisance, its cousin – the Asian carp – migrates similarly and is an invasive species.

Had the crew caught any Asian carp that day, they’d be hauled away and turned into organic fertilizer or dog food as have the millions of pounds the state has caught since 2012.

Asian carp have yet to emerge as table fare in America, although the crew complimented its taste when cooked fresh.

Illinois collected 1.1 million pounds of Asian carp last year, a state record, although it has hovered about 1 million a year since the program started, Irons said. The record was set with the help of the unified netting method, which the

IDNR learned from Chinese fishermen.

It allows crews to cover a larger area and trap more fish in an outing.

The record doesn’t mean there are more Asian carp in waterways such as the Illinois River now compared with 2012. It means the IDNR is learning and doing a better job of removing them, Irons said. IDNR crews have switched from 4- or 5-inch gillnets to 3-inch gillnets so smaller fish are less likely to escape.

Although poundage is about the same annually, the amount of fish being caught is higher, and the overall biomass of Asian carp in waterways is decreasing, Irons said. For example, the Dresden pool in the Morris area of the Illinois River now has 68 percent of the Asian carp biomass it had in 2012.

“Maintaining that lower level is important,” Irons said. “It’s not great, but it is a decrease. If it goes up, it means the threat is increasing. Maintaining the level is encouraging. Our fishermen are getting better and more efficient.”

But efforts to eradicate the invasive species, and others, could collapse.

President Donald Trump’s administration has proposed a 97 percent funding cut to the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative, which has given billions of dollars to eight Great Lakes states since 2010 to help them improve water quality in the Great Lakes, defend against and remove invasive species, and enhance habitat.

Trump won five of the eight Great Lakes states in the November election.

But environmental groups in the region have come out against the proposed cuts to the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative, which was designed to fix decades of damage caused by industrialization in the Rust Belt.

Investigation delayed in 1-year-old’s death

By BRIAN STANLEY

bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET TOWNSHIP – The investigation into the death of a 1-year-old girl will require pathology tests that likely will delay any resolution.

Semaj Crosby’s body was discovered about midnight Thursday under a couch in her residence in the 300 block of Louis Road in the Preston Heights neighborhood of Joliet Township. The girl had been the subject of intense searches throughout the Preston Heights area since she was reported missing Tuesday evening.

Will County State’s Attorney’s Office spokesman Charles Pelkie said Friday that no charges have been filed in connection with Semaj’s death.

“Our office and the Will County sheriff’s police are still in contact and actively reviewing the case,” Pelkie said.

“We’re awaiting the ... cause and manner of death.”

Findings from the autopsy performed Thursday morning need additional study.

“There will have to be further examination by a pathologist. A full report will take four to five weeks,” Will County Deputy Coroner Mark Revis said Friday.

Semaj Crosby

Semaj’s family told police she’d been playing with other children in the front yard Tuesday afternoon when she disappeared and they spent an hour looking for her before calling police. Semaj’s mother, Sheri Gordon, was questioned twice by investigators and consulted with a lawyer before allowing police to search the house late Wednesday.

Midday Friday, the Will County Sheriff’s Office distributed a news release to address “numerous rumors” surrounding Semaj’s death.

“The Sheriff’s Office was advised

from the Will County Coroner that there were no visible signs of blunt force trauma or physical injury to the body of Semaj Crosby to indicate the exact cause of death,” the news release stated.

The case is being considered a suspicious death investigation.

“Today, Sheriff’s detectives are continuing their investigation and are interviewing cooperating witnesses and some family members,” the news release stated. “No one is in custody. No one individual has been targeted as a suspect, however, no one individual has been ruled out as a suspect. Every angle of this tragic incident is being actively examined.”

A representative of the Department of Children and Family Services was at the house about an hour before Semaj went missing. The agency opened two investigations of Gordon for allegations of neglect last month. DCFS spokeswoman Veronica Resa stated 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.”

But sheriff’s police described the house’s condition as “deplorable,” with garbage strewn throughout. The resi-

dence was tagged Thursday as unfit for occupancy.

Including Gordon, her two sons and Semaj, five to 15 people were regularly living in the house as “squatters,” according to sheriff’s police.

According to a source with knowledge of the investigation who is not authorized to speak on the matter, one of Semaj’s brothers has been hospitalized. DCFS and Gordon’s attorney, Neil Patel, declined to comment Friday on whether the brothers are still in Gordon’s custody.

Semaj’s father, James Crosby, was released on a recognizance bond Thursday from jail, where he has been locked up for two months on theft and domestic battery charges. Attorney Cosmo Tedone said James Crosby had been scheduled to begin the Adult Redeploy Illinois program this week.

In the diversion program, nonviolent offenders undergo 18 months of counseling, substance abuse treatment, mental health therapy and job services. They plead guilty and have convictions on their record, but avoid incarceration.

Tedone said James Crosby will likely begin the program next week.

Funeral arrangements for Semaj Crosby were still pending as of Friday morning.

D-111 agrees to 5-year tax abatement for new warehouse

By JEANNE MILLSAP

Shaw Media correspondent MINOOKA – Minooka Community High School District 111 became the latest area taxing body to approve the village of Channahon’s request to participate in an intergovernmental agreement involving a distribution center in far eastern Channahon on Thursday.

The school board unanimously approved the agreement that MCHS Chief School Business Official John Troy said will abate 100 percent of the district’s share of property taxes from the development for five years per each of the four buildings that will be developed.

The dollars that return to the developer will help provide for the financing of infrastructure improvements for the Venture One Crossroads warehouse development, such as road improvements and bringing water to the site.

After the five-year periods of tax abatement, the property will return to the district’s tax rolls at full assessed value, Troy said.

New board members

Also Thursday, oaths of office were administered to school board members who were recently elected to the positions, including previous members Patti Ruettiger, Mike Brozovich and Wendi Arlis and new member Cherie Barnes.

The board then went through the official reorganization process, electing Brozovich as board president, Ruettiger as vice president and Arlis as secretary.

Members also recognized resigning board member Chris Kobe for her eight years in the position.

“I don’t think anyone really understands the turmoil, hours and stress,” Superintendent Dr. Kenneth Lee said of what’s involved in the position.

He and board members and staff thanked Kobe for her service.

Board president Brozovich said he appreciated all that Kobe has done for the district and said the district is in a much better place today than it was a few year ago, thanks in part to Kobe’s contributions.

The board also appointed Chief School Business Official John Troy as the school district treasurer.

Troy also told members that there may be one more hazardous home-toschool route added to the district’s six hazardous routes currently approved by the state. Illinois reimburses districts for bus transportation for students whose walk to school involves areas the state considers as hazardous, such as those that involve heavy traffic or railroad crossings.

The intersection of Route 6 and Bell Road should be considered a hazardous route, Troy said. Accident reports from the area of the intersection received from Channahon and Minooka police departments will be given to board members and discussed at the next school board meeting.

Troy said that if the site is declared a hazardous route, MCHS buses would be able to accommodate the extra students with no overcrowding.

The school board also set the dates and times of regular board meetings for the next year on Thursday. Most will continue to be held on the first and third Thursdays of the month at 6:30 p.m. in the campus center at the MCHS Central Campus, with exceptions to be posted on the district’s website. Summer meetings are normally held once a month.

Joliet council to consider joint ownership of Collins Street prison 7

Shaw Media file photo

Officer John Struna walks between buildings March 28 at the Collins Street prison complex in Joliet. passers are known to regularly break into the prison, which has been heavily vandalized.

Hock said the city’s image is getting tarnished by conditions of the empty prison.

“Everybody thinks we already own the prison,” Hock said. “When they go

by it, they complain to the city, ‘How come you guys aren’t cleaning this up or maintaining it?’ We’re getting blamed already.”

One potential snag in the plan is that museum leaders are not necessarily on board with it.

JOLIET – The Joliet City Council on Tuesday will consider a proposal to take joint ownership of the old Collins Street prison.

The resolution would only start a process that would require state legislation before the city and Joliet Area Historical Museum could take ownership of the prison. The state owns the prison, which it closed in 2002.

City Manager Jim Hock on Friday said he is recommending that the city and museum become joint owners of the prison for the sake of better securing the property and making it available for potential tourism.

The joint ownership, he said, would make it possible for the city and museum to pursue multiple sources of revenue and take on different tasks in putting the prison to use.

“There are some government grants that we can get as a government unit, and some foundation grants that [the museum] can get that we wouldn’t be able to get,” Hock said. “They’re the ones who are going to do the tours. It makes sense that we co-own it.”

One task the city could take over is securing the prison, which has been an issue under state ownership. Tres-

eryone thinks it’s a great idea,” museum Director Greg Peerbolte said.

The museum board, however, is concerned about what financial liability it could take on and would need to know about its responsibilities under joint ownership, he said.

“We just don’t want to put ourselves in a position where our financial wherewithal is threatened,” Peerbolte said. “No one knows what the liability is.”

Peerbolte for years, however, has been trying to work out some sort of arrangement in which the museum could conduct tours at the prison. The old Joliet Correctional Center is a popular attraction for out-of-town museum visitors, he has said.

The Illinois Department of Corrections has not provided access to the property.

The prison property can be acquired at a token price because the state would be happy to give up ownership, Hock said.

The aging limestone structure, which was opened in 1858, has been decaying since it was closed.

The city has been considering potential ownership for years, and a study in 2013 determined that just stabilizing the prison to protect against more deterioration would cost $3.8 million.

Reyna Chavez works multiple jobs

in Laraway School District 70C. One of those jobs is as a bus driver and she, like many, was concerned about the heavy semitrailer traffic and the nearby train tracks.

“It has been very dangerous,” Chavez said. “I fear for the bus drivers and the kids that we transport.”

JOLIET – More than 50 people came out in the cold Saturday morning to see the groundbreaking ceremony for the new Laraway School, which is planned to open in the fall of 2018.

The start of construction on the new school at 1715 Rowell Ave. has come after a months-long process of the district trying to move the elementary and junior high school, which is on a route frequently used by trucks on Laraway Road. Voters passed a referendum last November and the Joliet Zoning Board of Appeals approved the plans for the new school in March.

“We know that this project is what’s best for our kids and our community,” Laraway Superintendent Joe Salmieri said. “And we’re just happy to finally memorialize the beginning of this project.”

The school district intends to fund the new school with corporate property taxes generated by the large amount of industrial development in the school district. The school is estimated to cost $25 million.

David Hook was more than happy to come out on a Saturday morning with his two kids, one a fourth-grader and the other a second-grader at Laraway, to watch the ceremony.

“I’ve been supporting this since they started the whole process,” Hook said. “With all the traffic and the accidents that’s been over there ... I just think this is a good idea.”

As an educator himself, Hook also appreciates getting out of the older, current building and getting a new fa-

cility. Hook said he also likes the plans to eventually integrate both Laraway and the other school in the district, Oak Valley, into the new building. The integration is a long-term plan that depends on funding in the future.

Salmieri also was encouraged about getting a bid for the current Laraway School location. No bids were submitted before the first deadline April 19, so the district lowered the minimum asking price of $5.75 million to $5.3 million. Salmieri said there already is more interest than there was for the first auction.

“We think that we’re moving in the right direction,” he said.

Chris Kennedy makes campaign stop in Joliet

By ALEX ORTIZ

aortiz@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Chicago businessman Chris Kennedy, who is running for the Democratic nomination for governor in 2018, spoke at the Will and Grundy Counties Trades and Labor Council Dinner on Friday night.

Kennedy is the son of Robert Kennedy, the former U.S. attorney general and senator, and the nephew of President John F. Kennedy. He moved to Illinois after he graduated from Boston College to begin his business career, earned his MBA at Northwestern University and has served as chairman of the board of trustees for the University of Illinois.

Like many of his Democratic rivals have been, Kennedy was critical of Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner, who has not agreed to a full operating budget with Democrats in Springfield for nearly two years.

“This is not a stalemate,” Kennedy said. “This is a hostage taking. This governor isn’t interested in negotiating a budget. If he wanted to negotiate a budget he could get it done within a week and there would be Democratic and Republican support. He’s holding that budget hostage for his turnaround agenda.”

That agenda includes measures such as property tax freezes, lawsuit reform and “right to work” zones, which leaves the decision of whether to require workers to join a union up to voters in their own communities. Unions such as the Will and Grundy Counties Trades and

Labor Council see right to work zones as an attempt to weaken the influence of unions statewide.

“We’re definitely not supporting Rauner,” Council President Charlie Hanus said. “We’re looking for somebody that can work with people instead of trying to dictate like Rauner.”

Kennedy also spoke about struggling communities across the state. He specifically mentioned communities downstate with fewer resources such as grocery stores and hospitals as readily accessible as they are in the Chicago area. He said those struggling have become angry with the wealthy, the elite and politicians, and that’s why they voted in Republicans such as President Donald Trump. He argued Democrats need to start paying attention to those communities.

“The thing is, if we don’t repair the damage, if we don’t give them what they want, that is the restoration of the American dream, if we don’t restore that, they’ll send somebody worse than Donald Trump,” he said.

More than 200 people attended the event at the 176 West banquet hall in Joliet, including several local elected officials, such as Joliet Mayor Bob O’Dekirk; U.S. Rep. Dan Lipinski, D-Western Springs; and state Sens. Pat McGuire, D-Joliet, and Jennifer Bertino-Tarrant, D-Shorewood.

Kennedy was not the only Democratic gubernatorial candidate in town Friday. Chicago Alderman Ameya Pawar attended a meeting of the Will County Progressives to answer their questions.

Mississippi River from flooded ponds in Arkansas during the 1970s. If they get into the Great Lakes, experts believe sport fishing for salmon, trout, walleye and other species would take a hit.

The Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory estimates that fish harvesting in the Great Lakes generates $1 billion a year, while sport fishing contributes at least $4 billion to the economy.

Additionally, a Conference of Great Lakes and St. Lawrence Governors and Premiers study found the region generates $5 trillion annually. It would be the third-largest economy in the world if the eight states, along with Ontario and Quebec, were a single country.

Not to mention, more than 40 million people get drinking water from the Great Lakes and the initiative has supplied funding for hundreds of projects to improve water quality.

The Trump administration has proposed a 31 percent budget cut to the Environmental Protection Agency. Lake

Erie, according to published reports, is the other lake most in danger of an Asian carp invasion, and it experiences yearly algae blooms that have become toxic.

Irons is a member of the Asian Carp Regional Coordinating Committee, which he said was facilitated in part by the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative.

He said representatives from various states are working closely to combat the invasion and described it as a “model” for addressing other issues.

Nearly all of the IDNR’s efforts to remove Asian carp are funded by the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative, Irons said.

For now, the proposed budget cuts are just talk. If they were to become reality, Illinois and other states would have to find a way to adjust.

“We’re committed as a state to make sure Asian carp don’t get into the next basin,” Irons said. “At the same time, we have our own budgetary constraints. We’re committed to finding the appropriate way to make sure this effort continues. We don’t plan to step away, and the effort won’t go away overnight.”

Former ‘Miracle’ actor and Army sergeant dies near Seattle The ASSOCIATED PRESS SEATTLE – Michael Mantenuto, a former actor best known for his role in the Disney hockey movie “Miracle” and who later joined the Army, has died in the Seattle suburb of Des

Moines. He was 35.

The King County Medical Examiner’s Office in Seattle said Mantenuto died of a gunshot wound to the head Monday. It ruled his death a suicide.

Des Moines police says he was

found in his car at Saltwater State Park in the city Monday afternoon.

Army First Special Forces unit commander Col. Guillaume Beaurpere said in a Facebook post that the Army staff sergeant will be remembered “for his passionate love for his

family and his commitment to the health of the force.” A spokeswoman with Joint Base-Lewis McChord, where Mantenuto and his family lived, confirmed the post.

Beaurpere said Mantenuto is survived by his wife and two children.

The ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO – A lawsuit against the Illinois Department of Corrections alleging inadequate health care in state prisons may cover all inmates with serious medical needs in every prison facility, a judge ruled.

The Friday decision by U.S. District Judge Jorge Alonso means thousands of inmates could be affected by the class-action lawsuit, which claims medical and dental care provided by the Corrections Department doesn’t meet minimum constitutional standards. It also could require the state to make changes at more than two dozen prison facilities if the court ultimately finds in favor of the inmates.

Schools: ‘Dire decisions’ could come without state budget

AURORA – Superintendents in hundreds of Illinois school districts are imploring lawmakers and the governor to end the state’s budget stalemate, with one official saying schools could face “dire decisions” if a deal isn’t made.

Nearly 400 districts statewide are involved in an effort being driven by school leaders in Aurora, Naperville, Elgin and Sandoval, The Aurora Beacon-News reported.

Some schools are using their marquees, while others are using social media to draw attention to the issues.

“You have to put the horse in front of the cart, and that’s our state budget,” West Aurora Superintendent Jeff Craig said.

“And it’s coming to a point that if our state doesn’t pass a state budget, we will have to make some dire decisions.”

School districts are receiving state aid this year, though some say they’re owed millions of dollars by the state for services such as transportation, special education, and free lunch programs.

Craig said that without a budget, a new school-funding formula won’t happen and missed payments won’t come. District officials said the state owes $10 million to the district in quarterly payments for so far for 2017.

State Rep. Linda Chapa LaVia, an Au-

Liberties Union of Illinois, which filed the long-standing lawsuit on behalf of several inmates, applauded the ruling.

“The system of providing health care to prisoners in Illinois is broken and must be fixed,” staff attorney Camille Bennett said. “Until today, advocates looking to fix this broken system have been forced to seek redress for one person at a time. Allowing this action to move forward on behalf of the entire class of prisoners means that the solutions must be systemic.”

A 2015 report by court-approved researchers after visits to eight Illinois prisons found treatment delays, poor record keeping, haphazard follow-up care and other serious problems. The 405-page report concluded that the lev-

el of care may have cut short the lives of some inmates.

The Corrections Department, which oversees about 49,000 inmates, argued the report provided an incomplete picture of the “comprehensive medical system in place” in Illinois facilities. Researchers reviewed records from a sample of 63 prisoner deaths over several years and said they found “significant lapses” in care in 60 percent of those cases.

In one case outlined in the report, a 48-year-old prisoner pleaded for medical help after he began coughing up blood. But it took six months for physicians at the Hill Correctional Center in Galesburg to locate a softball-size tumor in his chest, the report stated.

He died four months later.

rora Democrat, said money set aside for districts’ quarterly payments for services hasn’t come through because of the backlog of bills in Springfield.

“It’s a general budget issue, bigger than education,” she said.

after a committee of presiding judges referred his refusal to take up the traffic court assignment to the Judicial Inquiry Board.

The state agency investigates allegations of judicial misconduct.

Cooke was elected in November. A spokesman for Cook County Chief Judge Tim Evans says that for weeks, Cooke refused his assignment to traffic court. That is where nearly all Cook County judges get experience and learn court operations.

Cooke was eventually assigned to marriage court, where he received a $194,000-a-year salary to preside over weddings.

3 inmates charged in attack on Cook County Jail officers

CHICAGO –Three Cook County Jail inmates have been charged with attempted murder after an attack on two correctional officers.

Sheriff Thomas Dart announced Saturday that the inmates also are charged with aggravated battery with great bodily harm, aggravated battery to a peace officer and felony mob action.

Dart described the Wednesday incident as a “brutal attack” that left the officers severely injured. He said the officers are still recovering.

Jail officials said the attack occurred as the two officers tried to secure a patio space in the jail’s maximum security section.

The inmates charged are 19-year-old David Bush, 20-year-old Taiwan McNeal and 20-year-old Terrence Lynom. They are scheduled to appear in bond court Sunday.

Officials urge caution as storms move through state

SPRINGFIELD – Illinois officials are warning people to use caution and be prepared to act quickly as storms bring heavy rainfall and potential flooding.

The National Weather Service expects the Springfield area to see up to 5 inches of rain this weekend. In Southern Illinois, a flood warning has been issued for a portion of the Big Muddy River near Murphysboro.

The weather service said it has the potential to force evacuations.

Flash flooding, large hail and heavy winds also are a threat.

The Illinois Emergency Management Agency is urging people to stay up-to-date on weather conditions with a weather alert radio, TV or radio broadcasts or wireless emergency alerts.

IEMA Director James Joseph said that if drivers encounter a flooded roadway, they should turn around and not try to drive through it.

Researchers stated that “the blatant disregard for this patient’s obvious symptoms ... is stunning.”

Lawyers for the state opposed class-action status, arguing in court filings that the inmates who sued received proper medical care. They also stated there would be no “objective, administratively feasible way to determine which inmates have serious medical or dental needs” and that the department doesn’t keep a list of inmates who would meet the criteria.

Corrections Department spokeswoman Nicole Wilson said Saturday that the agency cannot comment on pending litigation and had nothing to add beyond the court filings.

The case is next scheduled to be in federal court in Chicago on May 16.

Judge bars winner of Markham mayor’s race from taking office

CHICAGO – The winner of a suburban Chicago mayoral race has been barred by a judge from taking the oath of office because he is a convicted felon.

Cook County Circuit Judge David Atkins on Friday granted the state’s attorney’s request for a temporary restraining order barring Roger Agpawa from Markham’s mayor’s office.

Atkins noted Illinois election law bars Agpawa from holding elected municipal office due to a 1999 federal felony conviction for mail fraud. He was ordered to pay restitution, serve probation and perform community service.

Agpawa received 41 percent of the votes in the April 4 election compared with writein candidate Kenneth Muldrow Jr.’s nearly 35 percent. Under Illinois law, Markham aldermen could declare the mayor’s position vacant and name a council member interim mayor.

Number of bikes crashing into car doors up in Chicago

CHICAGO – The Illinois Department of Transportation said there were more than 300 reported cases of bikes hitting open car doors in Chicago in 2015 – a 50 percent jump from the year before.

The Chicago Tribune reported there were 302 such dooring incidents for the most recently available 2015 data. That was up from 203 in 2014. The numbers in 2015 were down from the 334 reported in 2012.

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS

Trump: China pressuring the soccer stadium in suburban N. Korea on missile, nukes Cairo where Mass was held, SEOUL, South Korea – President Donald Trump said in a television interview to be aired Sunday that he believes China’s president has been putting pressure on North Korea as it pursues its missile and nuclear weapons programs.

In an interview with CBS’ “Face the Nation,” Trump said he won’t be happy if North Korea conducts a nuclear test and that he believes Chinese President Xi Jinping won’t be happy, either.

Asked whether that means military action, Trump responded: “I don’t know. I mean, we’ll see.”

On Saturday, a North Korean mid-range ballistic missile apparently failed shortly after launch, South Korea and the United States said, the third test-fire flop just this month but a clear message of defiance as a U.S. supercarrier conducts drills in nearby waters.

Pope’s Egypt visit comforts Christians

CAIRO – Pope Francis wrapped up a brief but deeply symbolic visit to Egypt on Saturday with an open-air Mass for the country’s tiny Catholic community, defying security concerns to show his support for the Christians of this Muslim majority Arab nation who have increasingly become targeted by Islamic militants.

Military helicopters flew overhead and police fanned out in force as Francis zoomed around

using an open-topped golf cart and waving to members of the congregation, evidence of his hallmark desire to be close to his flock at all costs.

In his homily, Francis urged them to be good and merciful to their fellow Egyptians, saying “the only fanaticism believers can have is that of charity!”

Hacker releases stolen copies of Netflix series

SAN FRANCISCO – A hacker claims to have followed through on a threat to release several episodes from the upcoming season of Netflix’s hit series “Orange Is The New Black.”

The hacker, who goes by the name The Dark Overlord, announced the move on Twitter early Saturday. The post included a link to an illegal file-sharing service where purportedly 10 episodes from the series’ upcoming fifth season were available for download. The Associated Press could not legally confirm the authenticity of the uploaded files.

New episodes of “Orange” are scheduled for official release on June 9. Pirated copies of the series’ episodes could dent Netflix’s subscriber growth and the company’s stock price. Earlier, Netflix said that a small production vendor that works with several major TV studios suffered a breach.

100 days in, Trump says he’s brought about ‘profound change’

By LAURIE KELLMAN The Associated Press

HARRISBURG, Pa. – President Donald Trump on Saturday marked his 100th day in office by claiming historic action on his agenda, renewing promises on health care and taxes and attacking the news media for misleading Americans.

In his morning radio address, Trump issued an assurance: “My only allegiance is to you, our wonderful citizens.” To supporters at an evening rally in Pennsylvania, he promoted American power and patriotism while emphasizing such priorities as American manufacturing, better trade deals, a border wall with Mexico and a still-to-be defined tax cut plan.

“We are not going to let other countries take advantage of us anymore,” he said in Harrisburg at the Pennsylvania Farm Show Complex and Expo Center. “From now on it’s going to be America first.”

Trump’s 100th day events were set in a politically important state that he won with 48 percent of the vote. It was the first time Pennsylvania had voted for a Republican presidential candidate since George H.W. Bush in 1988.

Trump visited the AMES Companies in Pennsylvania’s Cumberland County, a shovel manufacturer since 1774. With that backdrop, he signed an executive order directing the Commerce Department and the U.S. trade representative to conduct a study of U.S. trade agreements. The goal is to determine whether America is being treated fairly by its trading partners and the 164-nation World Trade Organization.

Trump’s rally Saturday night in Harrisburg offered a familiar recapitulation of

what he and aides have argued for days are administration successes, including the successful nomination of Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court, his Cabinet choices and the approval of construction of the Keystone XL pipeline.

But the president began the rally on a sour note, pointing out that he was not attending that night’s White House Correspondents’ Association dinner and issuing a scathing attack on the news media. To cheers, he accused the news media of “fake news” and said if their job was to be honest and tell the truth, then they deserved “a big, fat failing grade.”

“I could not possibly be more thrilled than to be more than 100 miles way from Washington’s swamp,” he said, “spending my evening with all of you and with a much, much larger crowd and much better people, right?”

Meanwhile, North Korea’s missile launch Saturday signaled its continued defiance against the U.S., China and other nations, on which Trump tweeted: “Bad!” Asked during an interview for CBS’ “Face the Nation” whether military action would follow a nuclear test by the North, Trump responded: “I don’t know. I mean, we’ll see.”

At the 100-day mark, polls show that Trump’s supporters during the campaign remain largely in his corner. Though the White House created a website touting its accomplishments of the first 100 days, Trump has tried to downplay the importance of the marker, perhaps out of recognition that many of his campaign promises have gone unfulfilled.

“It’s a false standard, 100 days,” Trump said while signing an executive order on Friday, “but I have to tell you, I don’t think anybody has done what we’ve been able to do in 100 days, so we’re very happy.”

Thousands brave weather to protest Trump climate policies

By GENE JOHNSON

The Associated Press

SEATTLE – Thousands of people across the U.S. marched in rain, snow and sweltering heat Saturday to demand action on climate change – mass protests that coincided with President Donald Trump’s 100th day in office and took aim at his agenda for rolling back environmental protections.

At the marquee event, the Peoples Climate March in Washington, D.C., tens of thousands of demonstrators made their way down Pennsylvania Avenue on their way to encircle the White House as temperatures soared into the 90s.

Organizers said about 300 sister marches or rallies were being held around the country, including in Seattle, Boston and San Francisco. A wet spring snow fell in Denver, where several hundred activists posed in the shape of a giant thermometer for a photograph and a dozen people rode stationary bikes to power the loudspeakers. In Chicago, a rain-soaked crowd of thousands headed from the city’s federal plaza to Trump Tower.

“We are here because there is no Planet B,” the Rev. Mariama White-Hammond of Bethel AME Church told a rally in Boston.

Demonstrators march on the State Street Saturday during “100 Days of Failure” protest and march in Chicago.

The demonstrations came one week after supporters of science gathered in 600 cities around the globe, alarmed by political and public rejection of established research on topics including climate change and the safety of vaccines.

Participants Saturday said they object to Trump’s rollback of restrictions on mining, oil drilling and greenhouse gas emissions at coal-fired power

plants, among other things. Trump has called climate change a hoax, disputing the overwhelming consensus of scientists that the world is warming and that man-made carbon emissions are primarily to blame.

Among those attending the Chicago rally were members of the union representing Environmental Protection Agency employees. Trump has pro-

posed cutting the EPA’s budget by almost one-third, eliminating more than 3,000 jobs.

John O’Grady, president of the American Federation of Government Employees Council 238, called the march “a chance to speak out in unity against this administration” and its “ridiculous gutting of the EPA budget and staffing.”

More than 2,000 people gathered at the Maine State House in Augusta.

Speakers included a lobsterman, a solar company owner and members of the Penobscot Nation tribe.

“I’ve seen firsthand the impacts of climate change to not only the Gulf of Maine, but also to our evolving fisheries, and to the coastal communities that depend upon them,” said lobsterman Richard Nelson of Friendship, Maine.

People in the crowd spoke about the importance of addressing climate change to industries such as renewable energy, forestry, farming and seafood. Saharlah Farah, a 16-year-old immigrant from Somalia who lives in Portland, talked about how climate change could have a bigger toll on marginalized groups that have less financial resources.

“But I see untapped power here today,” she said.

LOS ANGELES – Twenty-five years ago, a jury acquitted four white police officers in the beating of black motorist Rodney King, sparking looting and violence that would turn into one of the deadliest race riots in American history.

On Saturday, hun- Rodney King dreds of people marked in 1992 the anniversary with marches advocating peace and hope.

A “Future Fest” began at Florence and Normandie avenues – the South Los Angeles intersection where rioting erupted – and was followed by a community festival.

Organizer Eric Ares, 34, is a lifelong resident of the area. He remembers the electricity going out in his house at the start of the rioting, leaving his family essentially cut off from the outside world without lights or a TV. “For the next couple of nights, there was this fear going on,” he said. “We were huddled up in the living room.”

When he did venture outside, Ares saw plumes of smoke coming from plac-

rected at police, politicians and businesses they believed oppressed, neglected or exploited them, Ares said.

Graffiti on walls warned: “No justice, no peace,” he said.

“I remember being at the park on the third day, people screaming: ‘We’re not gonna let them do it to us anymore,’ ” Ares said.

But while the march and festival marks the events of a quarter-century ago, the commemoration also looked to a future where community organizations are working to deal with problems still confronting South L.A., Ares said.

“There’s still extreme poverty.

There’s still issues of law enforcement ... education and health care and access to good jobs,” he said. “But the difference is, we have a plan.”

About 5 miles north of the intersection, a peace parade was held in the Koreatown neighborhood, where tensions between black residents and Korean-American immigrant storekeepers led to markets, shops and gas stations being looted or burned. Some merchants stood guard with guns to protect their stores.

In the wake of the riots, community groups reached out and tried to mend fences.

L.A. peace parades mark 25th anniversary of King riots

At Trump-less correspondents event, focus back on journalism

By JOCELYN NOVECK The Associated Press

Will Smith and George Clooney, step aside for Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein.

It’s safe to say that the annual White House Correspondents’ Association dinner – traditionally the most glittery night on the Washington social calendar, where A-list celebrities sprinkle their stardust as coveted guests of media organizations – will have a different vibe this year. With the current president – highly unpopular in Hollywood – staying away, organizers say the focus will not be on the red carpet but on the bedrock principles of the event: the First Amendment and the crucial role of the press in a democracy.

Not that those principles haven’t always been central to the mission of an event that began in 1921, noted Jeff Mason, WHCA president. But, he says, “the focus will be entirely on that this year, and I think that’s a great thing.”

The absence of President Donald Trump, who has called the media “fake” and “dishonest” and even “the enemy of the people,” marks the first time a president has declined since Ronald Reagan in 1981 – and he was recovering from an assassination attempt (but phoned in some friendly, humorous remarks

nonetheless.) Trump has decided to hold a rally in Pennsylvania instead, and his White House staff will also be absent, in what was described as “solidarity” with their boss.

But even if Trump had decided to come, this year’s event would have been different, Mason said, “based on the tension that has existed in the relationship and some of the things he has said about the press. We were preparing for a different dinner either way.”

So as opposed to last year, when guests at President Barack Obama’s final dinner included Smith, Emma Watson, Kerry Washington, Helen Mirren, the late Carrie Fisher, and, for a Kardashian quotient, model Kendall Jenner, this year’s big stars seem to be Woodward and Bernstein – not Robert Redford and Dustin Hoffman, who played the famous reporting duo, but the men themselves, who’ll be presenting journalism awards. Woodward told the Washington Post the two will speak about “the First Amendment and the importance of aggressive but fair reporting.”

There will be, as usual, a comedian emceeing the event, which will air on C-SPAN: Hasan Minhaj, of “The Daily Show.” But he will have competition: late-night star Samantha Bee will be headlining “Not the White House Corre-

spondent’s Dinner,” airing on TBS (TV stars such as Alysia Reiner of “Orange Is The New Black,” Retta of “Parks and Recreation,” and Matt Walsh of “Veep” are among those scheduled to attend the party afterward.)

Besides the high-profile after-parties (some of which have been canceled this year), the correspondents’ dinner has spawned a number of annual events the same weekend, such as the fundraiser Friday night for The Creative Coalition, an advocacy group fighting for continued arts funding. Tim Daly of “Madam Secretary” (the group’s president), Keegan-Michael Key of “Key & Peele,” Walsh of “Veep,” and many others are scheduled to attend.

There’s also a traditional garden brunch co-hosted by media consultant Tammy Haddad – who will be attending the correspondents’ dinner too, and says she’s looking forward to it. “What you’re going to see Saturday is more journalists per square inch than ever before, united in showing what they do and how they do it,” she said.

“Those celebrity spots will now be taken by journalists,” Haddad added.

“There’s going to be more interest in what they do. I mean, look at David Fahrenthold,” she said of the Pulitzer-winning Washington Post reporter, one of the dinner’s award recipients.

“He’s the Bono of journalism. Journalists are heroes now.”

The dinner didn’t start out as a multi-day celebrity-studded event. Most trace that development to 1987, when then-Baltimore Sun reporter Michael Kelly brought Fawn Hall, the secretary in the center of the Iran-Contra affair.

That began a tradition. In 2012, Lindsay Lohan came as the guest of Fox News’ Greta Van Susteren, a development that earned scorn from Tom Brokaw. (“Give me a break,” he said in an interview with Politico.)

The potentially (to some) uncomfortable glitz factor, not to mention the schmoozing of administration officials and journalists who cover them, led a few news organizations to stop attending in recent years. But other guests have seen it as a good opportunity to get some business done.

“There’s always business going down,” said Robin Bronk, CEO of The Creative Coalition. “In Washington, you’d be hard-pressed to find a party that doesn’t have a purpose. It tastes good, but it’s good for you.”

Bronk says the WHCA dinner, celeb factor aside, “does a fine job of reminding us why a free press is so important. They always do a great job protecting this great amendment that we have.”

Since 1976

Dear Mr. Berko: Last summer, I chose between buying 600 shares of AT&T at $38 and buying 500 shares of Verizon at $54. I bought Verizon, and it’s been straight down since, though the dividend was raised by 6 cents.

Tell me why Verizon has collapsed and when you think it will come back to my purchase price, because I want to invest $25,000 in an electric utility my stockbroker recommended, FirstEnergy. Please tell me your opinion of this stock’s ability to provide long-term growth and income. – FA, Cleveland Dear FA: Verizon Communications

(VZ-$47) provides wireless, broadband, fiber-optic and other services to consumers around the world. VZ is still the clear leader in the wireless industry, with over 113 million retail customers. VZ has a strong reputation and an enviable, high-quality network, and its Fios service enables unparalleled data speeds across nearly 80 percent of the company’s service area.

VZ was firing cleanly on all cylinders last year. 2016 revenues came in at $127 billion. Earnings were $3.21 a share. And the dividend was raised again to $2.27 a share, giving shareholders a swell 4.7 percent yield.

Then, in July, while VZ was trad-

TAKING STOCK Malcolm Berko ing at $56, management announced it would buy Yahoo (YHOO-$48) for $4.83 billion, and the midden hit the windmill, as VZ shares fell to $46.

VZ was after YHOO’s 1 billion active users (600 million mobile) and its attractive brand and assets. But YHOO’s “attractive brand and assets” turned out not to be so attractive after all, and its usership was also declining.

The “assets” included content (e.g., finance, news, sports), digital advertising technology and a pool of dubious people – including CEO Marissa Mayer, whose management style was in a frequent state of desynchronosis.

Some investors believe that VZ employees have become infected with Yahoo disease, a condition in which, every hour on the hour, workers get down on their knees with arms akimbo, flap their arms and squawk like chickens for 60 seconds.

It’s a riot to observe. Unfortunately, there’s no cure for this affliction.

Resultantly, concerned shareholders, including officers and directors of Verizon, have been net sellers of VZ

since last year. Late last year, the competition finally succeeded in putting a dent in VZ’s wireless growth, and revenues began to drop.

Of the 25 brokerages covering Verizon, seven – including Argus Research and O’Shaughnessy Asset Management – have “strong buy” recommendations. Two, Morningstar and Value Line, have “buy” recs.

Fourteen say to “hold,” and two say to “sell.” The consensus says that VZ should rise to $54 in the coming dozen months. But I don’t think that’s going to happen unless VZ merges with Disney or Amazon.

Do you remember such old names as Ohio Edison, The Illuminating Co. and Toledo Edison? They are now part of FirstEnergy (FE-$30.60), a holding company that pays a $1.44 dividend yielding 4.7 percent. FE is also a holding company for Potomac Edison, which almost every utility investor owned because most of its revenues derived from federal government offices in Washington.

FE also owns such enduring names as Metropolitan Edison, Allegheny Energy, Jersey Central Power & Light, West Penn Power and Mon Power. In total, FE serves over 6 million customers in Ohio, Maryland, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, New York and New

Jersey and in 2016 generated $15.25 billion in electric revenues.

FE has been in turbulence (operational problems/cost controls) since 2012, when the shares traded at more than $50 and earnings and revenues bounced around like kangaroos in a pigpen. Management couldn’t run FE’s nonregulated 1,572 megawatts of gas-fired and hydro businesses or other competitive energy assets that have pounded earnings and hurt dividend growth.

FE has a contract to sell this generating capacity (subject to Federal Energy Regulatory Commission approval) for $925 million. Meanwhile, management has been having unusual difficulties getting rate increases in Ohio and New Jersey, and FE is taking a fourth-quarter mark-to-market accounting charge because of frequent problems with its pension plan assumptions. Management needs an industrial-sized enema.

Though the present doesn’t look good, FE has some promise for the future, and buying 800 shares might be a timely long-term investment.

OPINIONS OUR VIEW

Thumbs up to community search effort Thumbs up: To the hundreds of first responders and community members who came together Tuesday and Wednesday to try to find Preston Heights toddler Semaj Crosby.

The search ended tragically when the body of 17-month-old Semaj was found under the couch in her family home more than 24 hours after she was reported missing. The community gathered at two vigils Thursday night to remember Semaj and to show that despite the tragedy of her death, she was loved.

Thumbs down: To a problem that seems to be without a solution. For years, if not decades, residentially developed areas of Green Garden Township that were once farmland have been plagued by standing water for days or weeks after significant rain.

The issue falls outside the purview of the Will County Land Use Department. The township put in a drainage pipe years ago, but as the land has since been altered by property owners, the flow of water has changed. The county has suggested neighbors in the area join together with an engineer to find a solution, but without a government entity at the helm of the effort, that hasn’t happened.

We hope there are drier days ahead for the people of Green Garden Township, but we’re also not sure how likely it is that those dry days will come soon.

Thumbs up: To the Joliet Park District board’s decision to add late board President Glen Marcum’s name to Garnsey Park.

Marcum was a beloved community member who, on top of his work with the park district, served on the Joliet Public Schools District 86 board, was founding president of the Joliet Grade Schools Foundation for Educational Excellence and was an instrumental part of establishing the Joliet Township Athletic Booster Club.

He grew up near Garnsey Park and played baseball there, making the addition to the park’s name a fitting tribute to his legacy.

AMENDMENT

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR O’Reilly case deserves justice

To the Editor: You’re at work and an authority figure mistreats or takes advantage of you.

That’s abuse of power and that’s a crime. Crimes deserve to be, and usually are, punished, and who generally gets the punishment?

The victim. Of course!

The person in charge always gets the automatic benefit of the doubt, whether right or wrong. Daring to challenge their integrity is the real offense.

That’s also known as circling the wagons. Ganging up on the individual who’s already been traumatized once. Turn it around and shift the blame. If the person got hurt, they created the situation, so it’s their own fault. Oh well.

A sweating, cowering, about-to-be ex-employee facing a room full of suits, like Gary Gilmore in front of the firing squad. The company is also likely to have a legal team present, just for an additional intimidation factor.

Stack the deck, see ya, and all that other good stuff.

The poor sap in the hot seat was DOA. Remember, the guilty party is probably among those conducting the hearing!

Compared with the shameless absence of justice meted out by these kangaroo courts, Judge Roy Bean comes off as Santa Claus!

If Bill O’Reilly, in fact, did what he’s accused of and it is proved, that would be a long overdue, huge step in the right direction. Given his stature, that would definitely send a potent message!

But let’s not forget, that would only solve part of the problem. The aftershocks often cause more damage than the earthquake itself.

I’m talking about retaliation. If everything else fails, old-fashioned retaliation can raise its ugly head. Merciless, soul-crushing, life-destroying retaliation.

If this issue isn’t addressed too, it’s like not tightening the lugnuts after repairing a flat tire.

Why wasn’t Dennis Rodman angle used with North Korea?

To the Editor: North Korea is rattling its war drums and the United States’ response is the same. I guess it doesn’t matter if each side fires a few nuclear bombs at each other. Is that what they call détente?

I remember watching on the news, when Dennis Rodman, the Chicago Bulls basketball player, was over in North Korea to help ready a team to play in the Olympics. He was talking, face to face, with the North Korean president.

A broadcast showed Rodman calling on the president of the United States to pick up the phone and call the North Korean president. That he was willing to talk.

The response from the State Department was, “Dennis Rodman is not a spokesperson for the State Department.” Up until that time, there wasn’t any dialogue between North Korea and the United States. If someone from the

MIDLIFE CIRCUS Bill Wimbiscus But after about three hours of excavation, drenched in sweat and covered with dirt, I was barely knee deep. Turns out digging a hole in your 50s isn’t quite as simple as digging a hole in your teens. Especially when the only help you get from your family is questions. Or advice.

“Is that hole for the fish pond?”

Meg, my middle daughter, asked.

“No honey,” I replied. “This is just a practice hole. I’m digging the real hole later.”

“And you’re doing it wrong,” my wife interjected. “Here, you better read this,” she said, handing me the sheaf of French, Spanish and English instructions.

A few hours later, after just about reaching the required depth of 3 feet (apparently the minimum needed to keep poisson, er, fish, alive over the winter), terracing the sides, lining the whole thing with carpet remnants, installing the liner, covering the edge with flagstone, filling the thing with 500 gallons of water, dechlorinating said water, installing a circulation pump and building a waterfall over which the pump could circulate water, it was time to sit down and marvel at my creation.

It was soothing to watch the waterfall as it cascaded down onto the languid surface of the pond. After

about half an hour I noticed that the languid surface seemed to be getting lower. And that the grass around the pond seemed to be getting wetter. My waterfall, it turned out, was more of a pond drainage system.

Eventually I got the thing to hold water and it was time to add fish. Now you have two basic choices for pond fish: koi or goldfish. Koi cost anywhere from $5 to $5,000 apiece and can grow to be the size of small cats. Goldfish – at least the “feeder” variety – are 19 cents for the littles or 29 cents for the big ones.

I ended up spending about four bucks. You can guess which variety I chose. Ironically, it was the cheapest part of the whole project.

At least for a while.

Because it turns out I’m a serial killer of goldfish.

The first time was when the pond became overrun with green muck and I decided to add some algaecide.

Bought a small bottle and dumped the whole thing in. Guess I should have read instructions first. Within 10 minutes, all 20 fish were belly up.

The second time was when I forgot to put a bubbler in over the winter.

Goldfish can survive in extremely cold water, anything short of ice. Around here ponds can freeze up to about 2 ½ feet. Which is why they need to be at least 36 inches deep. And not just 30 inches. Come spring, all 20 fish were belly up. At least the ones that hadn’t rotted away completely.

The third time was when I came home for lunch one day and decided to

add some water to the pond. Now when you top off a fish pond, it’s a good idea to just let the water trickle in, so the temperature differentiation doesn’t shock the fish. But I was in hurry to get back to work, so I decided to turn the hose on full force. You know, just for a couple of minutes. And then someone, maybe me, forgot to turn it off.

When I came home five hours later, all the fish were dead, even the ones that hadn’t been washed out onto the lawn. Though the grass seemed to appreciate the extra water.

The fourth and fifth times were when I forgot to put our homemade raccoon screens over the pond at night. We awoke next morning to find half-eaten fish guts all over the yard.

Though the grass seemed to appreciate the extra fertilizer.

Four waterfalls, three pumps, two filters and about a hundred fish later, I finally got my act together. Our current batch of 13 goldfish – I splurged and bought the 29-cent variety – have survived two winters, grown to nearly 6 inches in length and are now spawning. We also have a 5-pound koi named Walter, the gift of a woman my wife met through work. He’s about the size of a small cat.

Meaning eventually I’m going to have put a bigger hole in the yard.

Either that, or commit another random act of poissonicide.

State Department called, it might have been different, but we will never know, all because Dennis Rodman was not a State Department spokesperson.

I guess I am the only person that thought that they should have at least tried. Now it’s too late.

Health care and education are basic human rights

To the Editor: Medicare for all. Republicans plan to sacrifice older Americans just before retirement by denying them health care insurance and coverage.

As Trump gears up our military for greater offensive actions, it is a matter of national security that we do not kill off our experienced knowledge base of

retired engineers, scientists, managers, analysts, workers, etc. One gets the impression that Republicans view this demographic as lazy, stupid minorities that should be culled.

From the Declaration of Independence; “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed… .”

Well there it is, right in the preamble to the Declaration of Independence, the precursor to the Constitution and Bill of Rights. To secure national unity, we need to treat all people fairly and equitably and rally people behind our nation, as if we didn’t learn that from the Civil War.

Businesses would greatly benefit from being unencumbered by health care costs to make them more competitive and efficient in the world markets, especially the defense industry. Health care and education should be considered a basic human right, not just for the rich to get richer.

Thomas Cechner Lockport

Trump is all over the place – do you believe him?

To the Editor: Isn’t it too bad Trump’s people have no corner to put the president when he rants and raves. In mid-February, he spoke out and tweeted the opposite of what his Cabinet members were saying to other countries.

One day he is for something and the next he is against it. He says his admin-

istration is a smooth running machine, it isn’t.

His comments remind me of Richard Nixon’s rants about the press during the Watergate stories. Those stories led to his abdication before impeachment.

The difference is Nixon had a well-oiled machine of experienced people. He had Henry Kissinger as his advisor while Trump depends on Stephen Bannon and 31-year old Stephen Miller.

Trump says he has had no business with Russians, but his son said in an interview a few years ago that “Russians make up a pretty disproportionate cross-section of a lot of our assets. ...

We see a lot of money pouring in from Russia.” Who’s lying?

If Trump comes on TV and says we need to invade a country because ...

Would you believe?

In 2009, I put a large hole in the ground.

Many times since then, I’ve wondered whether I wouldn’t have been better off putting that hole in my head.

The hole, ostensibly called “the fish pond,” has been both the blessing and bane of my backyard existence for the last eight years. At 2 ½ by 6 ½ feet, it’s (somewhat appropriately) the size of a grave, though at only 30 inches in depth, it’s really not deep enough to serve that purpose. Especially if the cops come nosing around.

Like most of my home projects, it was my wife’s idea.

“Guess what I bought?!” she screeched one day, hauling an innocuous-looking roll of black plastic out of an innocuous-looking white box.

“Uh, garbage bags?”

“No, silly, it’s a fish pond,” she said, handing me a sheaf of paper. “Here’s the instructions.”

“I don’t need no stinking instructions. I’ll just look at the box.”

The box, which was labeled in French, Spanish and English, outlined the whole process in a few pictures. To my understanding that process was this: 1. Unroll black plastic. 2. Dig hole.

3. Put plastic in hole. 4. Fill with water.

5. Add fish.

Seemed simple enough.

Back when I was a teenager, I worked at a state park for three summers. One of the crucial jobs I was entrusted with – when I wasn’t busy picking up trash – was digging ditches.

So I figured I had a pretty good handle on the concept.

BOYS VOLLEYBALL: LINCOLN-WAY EAST INVITATIONAL

DIFFERENT STAKES Central leads Lincoln-Ways at East Invite

By CURT HERRON

cherron@shawmedia.com FRANKFORT – Ever since Lincoln-Way East’s boys volleyball tournament went to a 24-team format in 2011, there had been one constant at the prestigious competition.

And that was that a team from the SouthWest Suburban Conference not only reached the title match but also won the championship. In fact, nearly every squad that had played for a gold division title was from either the SWSC or the Joliet-area.

But things were different on Saturday as neither of the top two teams in the invite were from the local area.

Lake Park rallied from a big defeat in the opener to capture a 15-25, 25-18, 1510 victory over Brother Rice.

That left the three Lincoln-Way schools battling with the likes of Sandburg, Downers Grove North and South, Lyons Township and Edwardsville for the next-best finishes in the event.

Lincoln-Way Central and West both advanced to the Gold Division, East settled for a spot in the Silver Division and Minooka, Joliet Catholic and Bolingbrook were in the bronze division. When play ended, the Knights claimed fourth place, the Warriors finished seventh and the Griffins took 10th place.

Coach Mary Brown’s Knights lost to Sandburg, 25-19, 25-22, in their final match after falling, 25-16, 25-22, in the semifinals to Brother Rice. Central opened the day with a 21-25, 25-14, 15-11 quarterfinal win over Edwardsville.

Leading the Knights (23-8) were all-tourney pick middle Willy Kickert (24 kills, eight blocks), setter Andy Stevens (97 assists, 42 digs, 10 aces), out-

“I was proud of our boys for taking fourth in the gold after losing to two good teams,” Brown said. “I felt like our last match wasn’t our strongest game. I don’t know if we were tired or if the loss to Brother Rice kind of affected us, but we just didn’t have the spunk we needed.

“We knew in the first part of the season, we were just trying to come together as a team and I felt that we’ve done that. But all eight of our losses have been to really good teams. We’re just really gearing up toward the playoffs and trying to be the best we can be and peak at the right time. We have eight seniors so those guys should be able to perform at clutch time.”

scoring five unearned runs to make it 8-0. Coaler junior Kaleb Spreitzer concluded the game’s scoring with a monster grand slam homer.

“We beat a great pitcher (Wilkins) who was very hard to hit,” Spreitzer said. “It felt pretty good to see the ball go out on my grand slam. First one of my high school career.”

Harseim (4-1) struck out three and did not walk a batter. With seven scoreless innings, Harseim’s 1.16 ERA is now below a run per seven innings.

“Blake has been outstanding for us on the mound,” McDowell said. “He has improved immensely at the plate and he plays an outstanding shortstop when is not pitching. Beau [Wills] drove in a crucial run with that bunt. Kaleb has been seeing the ball very well and hitting the ball hard.

Coal City will take on Westmont (14-10, 3-6) in a two-game I-8 North series beginning Monday.

Reed-Custer awaits a visit from I-8 South co-leader Herscher (16-7, 8-2) on Monday. The two will meet Tuesday at Herscher.

“There is only one thing to say about today’s game,“ Evans said. “Blake Harseim was outstanding and pitched a great game against us. We look to bounce back Monday against a great Herscher club.”

“This is a great group of guys,” Frigo said. “We’re young since we have five sophomores who are potentially in the game, so there’s moments where we do sophomore-like things. But for the most part, they are resilient and fight hard all the way through, so they’re players.

“It’s getting to the point where we have to start winning games at the end of the season and seeing this high level of competition is a good thing for everyone and we are improving. It’s about who can eliminate the errors and play as clean as a game as they can.”

East beat Addison Trail, 25-19, 2510, in the quarterfinals and rallied for a 13-25, 25-23, 15-7 semifinal win over Andrew. But in the silver division finals, the Griffins couldn’t complete the sweep for the day and fell, 18-25, 25-23, 15-10, to Downers Grove North.

Coach Kris Fiore’s Griffins (21-6) were led by all-tournament pick rightside Matt Shemanski (26 kills, five blocks), outside Ian Piet (40 kills), outside Jason Szara (23 kills), setter Jake Snyder (78 assists), libero Danny Pacini (45 assists) and middle Luis Zavala (10 blocks).

“This was the first time since we expanded that a Lincoln-Way or Sandburg didn’t win it,” Fiore said. “We always try to jam our schedule with good invites since we want to see good teams.

Lincoln-Way East’s Jack Snyder sets the ball against Downers Grove South at the Lincoln-Way East boys volleyball invitational Silver Division on Saturday at Lincoln-Way East High School in Frankfort. East lost in two sets for second place.

And a tournament like this is good toward the end of the season with playoffs coming up since it has teams from all over the state that want a chance to play against each other.

“Our sectional has a lot of parity and there’s six or seven teams that may be able to make a run at it and you can’t say that every year. This team is a puzzle that we’re still trying to figure out

and the end goal is to do that by playoff time to go with who we think is going to best for us to help us win. But we have a deep team and a good group of kids that works hard.”

BRAIDWOOD – The battle between the divisional leaders of the Interstate Eight Conference took place on a comfortable 60-degree Friday afternoon.

The I-8 North leaders from Coal City, led by legendary coach Jerry McDowell, squared off with defending Class 2A state champion and I-8 South tri-leader Reed-Custer.

McDowell, who won the 500th game of his illustrious Coaler career on March 18 against Peoria Richwoods, took on Comets first-year coach Jake Evans.

The last two seasons, Evans had been an assistant to another area coaching legend, the recently retired Jerry Cougill.

Coal City senior right-handed pitcher Blake Harseim outduel Reed Custer right-hander and Illinois Springfield-bound pitcher Eddie Wilkins, firing a two-hit shutout and leading the Coalers to an 8-0 victory.

The Coalers (19-5, 9-1) picked up a run in the first inning on sophomore Keegan Gagliardo’s sacrifice fly. Harseim, who entered the game with a 1.16 ERA, was perfect through the first three innings,

retiring all nine hitters for the Comets (12-5, 7-3).

In the top of the fourth, Coalers junior Beau Wills and senior Jake Brnca extended Harseim’s lead to three. A safety squeeze by Wills plated senior Zach Nolan, who had singled to lead off. Brnca’s two-out single scored Sean Micetich, who reached on a Wllkins’ wild pitch while striking out.

“I really had to concentrate on getting the bunt down when I saw the sign from coach McDowell,” Wllls said. “I got the bunt down to the right side and fortunately no Reed-Custer players were there.”

Reed-Custer leadoff man Hunter Murawski ended Harseim’s attempt at perfection with a leadoff single in the fourth inning. Harseim did not allow another Comets runner to reach base safely until the seventh inning.

“Big win for us over our rivals from ReedCuster,” Harseim said. “I threw the ball harder than usual and my curve ball was really working well. This was the best start of my high school career.”

Wilkins (4-1), left after six innings, allowing three earned runs and five hits, while striking out nine.

32 PREP BASEBALL: PLAINFIELD EAST 6, JOLIET WEST 0

Schmitt 2-hitter lifts Bengals over Tigers

By DICK GOSS

dgoss@shawmedia.com JOLIET – From the standpoint of record, the Plainfield East baseball team appears to be a middle-of-thepack candidate in the Southwest Prairie Conference race.

It’s true the Bengals have an incredibly steep hill to climb if they hope to be involved in the title chase during the second half of the SPC season.

However, if they can bottle Friday afternoon’s effort from a 6-0 victory over Joliet West, they at worst will build serious momentum heading into the postseason.

Senior right-hander Logan Schmitt pitched an efficient two-hit shutout, the defense behind him was outstanding and the Bengals (14-9, 4-5) took advantage of their scoring opportunities.

“Logan just got to 80 pitches against the last hitter in the game,” East coach Adam O’Reel said. “He attacked the strike zone, we played good defense and, finally, we executed at the plate.

“That’s how we have to play. We have to have pitching and defense and manufacture runs as we can. We got our bunts down, we got a sacrifice fly when we needed it, then you get a key single or double, and all of a sudden you put up a crooked number.”

Schmitt, who will be a preferred walk-on at Miami of Ohio, pitched to contact. He struck out six, walked nobody and went to three balls on few hitters. The only Tigers (4-16-1, 1-8) who reached base were Tyler Spisak with a single in the second and Nick Gulliford with a single in the third.

“This was a good one,” Schmitt said. “It felt good to pitch the whole game. It was my first complete game this season.

“It always helps when you stay ahead of the hitters. You get behind, that’s when bad things happen.”

Schmitt throws a fastball, curveball and changeup.

“The fastball was good, the curve was better than it has been and the change is always my best pitch,” he said. “Our defense has been good, too, and it helped me a lot today. It’s always good to know you can pitch to

contact and the defense will make the plays. I was just trying to get outs.”

East third baseman Jacob Knoebel made a nice play charging a slow bouncer and threw out Dylan Loftis to end the West third. He made a couple of other tough plays thanks largely to his strong, accurate arm.

Second baseman Drew Raspolich made an excellent play up the middle in the fifth inning to steal a hit from Spisak, and Jacob Havis made a running catch with his back to the infield to end Christian Rios’ bid for extra bases in the sixth.

“He [Schmitt] is very similar to other guys we have faced this year,” West coach John Karczewski said.

“We’ve been working on our hitting – that’s all we did the last two days – but right now we can’t hit. And when you can’t hit, you can’t win.”

Karzcewski noted the Tigers have scored more than four runs in a game twice all season.

“That’s what it comes back to, we haven’t figured out how to hit yet,” he said. “Then the other part of it was they made the routine plays and we did not. You have to have all three

phases [pitching, defense and hitting] if you are going to win, and we had no phase working today.

“We’ll keep at it. I hope we can figure it out.”

East went up, 1-0, in the third against West starter Breven Daugherity on an error, Raspolich’s sacrifice and Knoebel’s sacrifice fly.

The Bengals put up three more in the fourth on two walks, a sacrifice, Raspolich’s squeeze bunt single, an error and JJ Zywiciel’s RBI single. Zywiciel, who had three hits in all, also singled home a run in the sixth when East scored its final two runs against reliever Dylan Suca.

“If we compete like we did today, there’s no reason we can’t play with anybody in our conference,” Schmitt said.

Seven Bengals who did not start batted in the final two innings, four of which hit safely.

“We have a deep roster,” O’Reel said. “We try to keep guys fresh and put them in positions where they can succeed.

“If we play like this, I don’t care who we play, we’ll be in the game.”

PREP BASEBALL: JOLIET CENTRAL 6, BOLINGBROOK 6

Bad weather forces Raiders, Steelmen to settle for tie

By DICK GOSS

dgoss@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Wind howling into the batters’ faces.

Forty-seven degrees feeling more like 37.

However, the anticipated bone-chilling rain did not arrive until the fifth inning Saturday morning and did not begin falling in earnest until a few minutes later.

Finally, moments after Bolingbrook shortstop Jake Anderson’s second straight clutch hit had given the Raiders a 7-6 lead over Joliet Central in the top of the seventh inning, the conditions became too ugly to continue.

The game thus was called, and the score reverted back to the end of the sixth inning. The nonconference baseball game goes in the books as a 6-6 tie.

“That’s our third tie, and this one was ugly,” said Central coach Kevin Fitzgerald, whose team is 9-11-3 to Bolingbrook’s 10-7-1. “There must have been eight or nine errors for the two teams combined.”

“I guess I’m 0-0-1,” said a laugh-

ing Bolingbrook assistant coach Pat Meginniss, who is in charge while coach Scott Thyer is with his wife for the birth of their child. “If all goes well, Scott should be back maybe Wednesday.”

The ugliness of the day began early as Bolingbrook’s first three hitters reached on an error, hit batsman and walk. The Raiders turned that into a 4-spot as Cameron Falk singled in two, Dylan Crouse singled home one and Mezlan Myers drove one in a run on a fielder’s choice.

“It started early with the error, hit batsman and walk,” Fitzgerald said.

“It was not good. I’m actually surprised Nate [Magolan, Central’s starting pitcher] was able to come back and pitch as much as he did [52/3 innings].

We showed some resilience there in the middle of the game, and Ricky [Malmfeldt] got big hits.”

The Steelmen still were trailing, 4-0, entering the bottom of the fourth, when they batted around and scored four times to tie it at 4. Malmfeldt, who totaled three hits and reached on an error, ignited the rally with a single,

and a walk and two errors helped fuel the flames.

Bolingbrook went back ahead, 6-4, in the sixth when Anderson’s one-out double drove in a run, and Jordan Jackson smashed his second double of the day two batters later.

However, two Bolingbrook errors to open the bottom of the sixth put the Steelmen in business, and with two outs, Malmfeldt delivered the game-tying two-run single to center.

“It kind of sucks that the rain stopped the game,” Malmfeldt said.

“We had some good bats coming up in the bottom of the seventh.

“Lately, our pitching has been good, our defense has been all right, but our offense has been amazing.”

Malmfeldt had three and Greg Honiotes two of Central’s seven hits. Honiotes was scheduled to lead off the bottom of the seventh.

“When we took B.P. [batting practice] before the game, the coaches told us with the wind blowing in like this, we needed to hit line drives to the opposite field, not fight the wind,” Malmfeldt said. “That’s what I tried to do.”

Bolingbrook’s big bats – and there are several in the lineup – had some success in the adverse conditions.

Jackson not only doubled twice, one a ground-rule double, but also hit a line shot to left field for an out.

After singling home two runs in the first inning, Falk later doubled and lost a potential RBI single in the sixth when shortstop Malmfeldt dove to make a backhand catch of his line drive. Crouse chipped in two hits, and Jeremiah Lebron sent JoJo McNair into deep center field to chase down his long fly ball.

“We had a lot of good things happen,” Meginniss said. “JJ [Jackson] hit the ball well, and so did Jeremiah [Lebron] in these conditions. Our sophomore, Matt Dinkel, pitched well. He stayed ahead of hitters.

“Jake Anderson got the two big hits.

He’s stepping up as a senior. Our team showed a lot of resiliency.”

Meginnis said left-handed reliever Dillon Murillo, who allowed Central’s two unearned runs in the sixth, “did the job, we just made a couple of mental mistakes behind him.”

34 BOYS TRACK & FIELD: WARRIORS INVITE

Lincoln-Way Central captures invite

By CURT HERRON

cherron@shawmedia.com NEW LENOX – A new look to Lincoln-Way West’s Warriors Invite produced a whole lot of positive results for area boys track and field teams on Friday.

After only two area competitors won titles in last year’s meet, five individuals captured eight titles and one school won all four of the relays.

It also produced the first-place team as coach Dustin Waddell’s Lincoln-Way Central squad beat Bradley-Bourbonnais, 131-120, for top honors. Joliet West (108) was third, Providence Catholic (94.5) took fifth and the host Warriors (87.5) finished sixth.

One of last year’s winners, Central’s Nate Rittenbacher, repeated in the 300-meter hurdles (41.08 seconds) and also won the 110 hurdles (16.09). Knight Thomas Riley also won the pole vault (13 feet, 1 inch).

Rittenbacher, a junior, was excited to perform in front of his sister Ashley, a standout distance runner for Central who graduated in 2005. She competed at Northern Illinois and now lives overseas but was back in town for a personal visit.

“This is awesome for our team,” Rittenbacher said. “We’re really running good times and placing well and it’s all about competing against who’s around you. I feel that the whole race (300 hurdles) is all mental. My time wasn’t as I wanted it to be but I’m striving for sectionals, where I hope I can run a flawless

race. Ashley had a lot of experience going to state and it’s great talking to her since it eases my nerves. Part of the reason that I’m so motivated to run is I grew up being around her. I watched her running all the time and that was awesome.”

Joliet West captured titles in all four relays with senior Max Ebong starting off the 4x100, 4x200 and 4x400. Omari Ferguson, Jabari Harris, Danta Rooks and Anthony Sain each ran in two of the relays. Also, Daelin Lockman claimed top honors in high jump (5-10).

The 4x100 (43.22) consisted of Ebong, Harris, Zeke Tulloch and Ferguson while the 4x200 (1:31.96) included Ebong, Colt Dolak, TJ Neal and Ferguson. Competing in the 4x400 (3:27.66) were Ebong, Sain, Harris and Rooks while the 4x800 (8:20.39) featured Sain, Jeremy Sikes, Arturo Cruz and Rooks.

“It was really just an amazing feeling and I have to thank all of my teammates,” Ebong said. “They’re the most encouraging guys that I’ve ever had the blessing to know. I have to thank coach (Seandell) Davis, who’s really pushed me and believed in me. Coach (Jason) Aubry kept telling me that he thought that I

could do it and he’s helped me blossom from there. These guys are my brothers and this is a fellowship and I love every moment being out here. We always have teammates standing right by us, in good or bad, and you have to love that.”

The Celtics were led by junior Gavin Jaime, who easily won the 400 (49.61) and the 200 (22.51) while also tying for second place in pole vault (12-7).

“I’m just training and trying to get better,” Jaime said. “Last year I had a downfall and didn’t make outdoor state, so that’s my goal for this year. I’m hoping to get there this year in order to get a lot of exposure for colleges. Last year we had a pretty good team and won conference. We still have a really good junior group and this year’s sophomores are also pretty good so we’re hoping to have a good team again next year.”

And the Warriors got a pair of titles from senior Evan Mitchell, who won both the 800 (1:59.29) and the 1,600 (4:29.91). As a junior, he took fourth in the 3,200 in Class 2A and also won medals the last two years in cross country.

He will continue his education and career at Bradley University.

“It’s different this year in 3A,” Mitchell said. “In cross, my big goal was being All-State, and I wouldn’t sleep at night thinking about it. I could have contended for a state championship in 2A, but 3A is really deep, so the big goal now is to be All-State again in the two mile. When it comes postseason time, I should be really strong for the two mile and mile.

Being on this track for the last time feels weird. It feels like yesterday was the first time I was out here.”

Finishing in second for the Knights were Xavier Auld in the 100 (11.77), Jared Kreis in the 3,200 (9:56.47), Andrew Englert in the 1,600 (4:36.17), Shane Raeshler in pole vault (12-7) and their 4x800 (8:27.73) and 4x400 (3:30.95) relays. Central got thirds from Alex Manka in long jump (18-11.5) and from its 4x200 relay (1:35.72).

Claiming second place for the Tigers was Rooks in the 800 (2:01.57). They also received thirds from Marcus Blackmon in triple jump (40-6) and from Neal in the 100 (11.79).

Taking second for the Celtics were Joey Markasovic in the 300 hurdles (42.57), DeShon Gavin in high jump (5-8) and Quentin Davis in shot put (44-6.5).

They got thirds from Sam Rost in discus (127-9) and Tom Farley in shot put (409.5).

Placing second for the Warriors was Casey Gervase in the 400 (51.24). The hosts also received a third from Jon Stiglic in the 3,200 (10:04.51) and from its 4x400 relay (3:34.46).

PREP BASEBALL: JOLIET CATHOLIC 2, NOTRE DAME 2 (SUSPENDED)

Surin’s glove work helps JCA tie in suspended game

By DRAKE SKLEBA

Shaw Media correspondent JOLIET – After putting on a remarkable defensive display for a high school first baseman, Joliet Catholic Academy senior Jack Surin stepped into the batter’s box.

In the bottom of the seventh inning of a 2-2 East Suburban Catholic Conference thriller against Notre Dame, Louisville-bound Michael O’Brien was at third base, 90 feet away.

O’Brien, who had singled and tripled earlier, walked to lead off the bottom of the seventh. Hilltoppers starting pitcher Aidan Tyrell sacrificed, moving O’Brien to second with two outs.

O’Brien moved up to third on a ball in the dirt, and Simon Grasshoff walked.

Surin, who had been hitless in three trips, hit a wet frozen rope through the cold rain and into right-center field.

Out of nowhere came Notre Dame center fielder Matt Doherty, who dove and made an unbelievable catch to save the game for his Dons.

The cold rain continued and the two clubs played a scoreless eighth inning before the umpires suspended the contest.

JCA got on the board first in the second inning, when the Dons’ defense made three errors. Justin Conant reached on an error and went to third on a single by Greg Ziegler (2 for 3, double), who moved up to second when the left fielder booted the ball. Notre Dame starting pitcher Paul Bergstrom’s errant pickoff throw went into center

field, and Conant scored the gift run.

Meanwhile, Surin was saving his teammates errors in the infield. On five occasions, he made sensational scoops out of the dirt to register outs.

On another occasion, Surin used his vertical leap, developed this winter for coach Joe Gura’s basketball Hilltoppers, to save another error and made a super swipe tag to get the out.

O’Brien tripled with one out in the fifth and scored on the fifth Don error of the game on a ball hit by Tyrell.

Notre Dame (8-11-1, 2-4) tied the game with a pair of runs in the top of the sixth off Tyrell. Leadoff man Jackson Kaplowitz doubled home the first run and Notre Dame relief pitcher Nat Moore picked up the tying RBI on a groundout.

Tyrell (1-1) allowed two runs and three hits in his 5 1/3 innings. Righthander Kyle Winkle fired 22/3 innings of shutout relief.

“Not much to say about that one,” Hilltoppers coach Jared Voss said.

“Aiden pitched well and Kyle did a great job in relief. Jack really was outstanding at first base and we thought he won the game for us in the seventh.”

Up next for the Hilltoppers (10-10-1, 5-1) is a visit from the ESCC-leading Marian Catholic (14-5, 8-1) at 4:30 p.m.

Monday.

Those two clubs will play in Chicago Heights on Tuesday and then Notre Dame (8-11-1, 2-4) will return to JCA on Wednesday to conclude the suspended game and play the second game of the scheduled doubleheader.

LAKE FOREST – With cameras clicking and recorders rolling, Mitch Trubisky met the news media Friday at Halas Hall. The Bears’ assumed quarterback of the future got the franchise treatment, but he likely won’t be in the limelight again until he actually starts, which could be a while.

The No. 2 pick of the draft knows he is going to begin his NFL career as a backup to Mike Glennon.

“No, I haven’t talked to Mike yet, but I’m very excited to work with him and the rest of the quarterbacks here,” Trubisky said. “Mike is the starting quarterback, and I’m very excited to learn from him and the rest of the veterans on the team, and I can’t wait to help the team win.”

Sitting and waiting isn’t new to Trubisky, whose biggest knock out of college is having only 13 starts because he was Marquise Williams’ backup for two years.

“I think that experience helps me a lot for this situation,” he said. “I know how to learn behind a guy. I’m excited

he’ll be the star of the three practices, but at OTAs and minicamp and training camp, he’ll be taking a back seat. Once the season starts, he won’t be spending much time in the PNC Media Room at Halas Hall in front of all the cameras.

“I think that’s kind of outside of my control,” he said. “My mentality has always been I’m going to prepare like the starter and when I’m given my opportunities, just to take full advantage of them. That’s how I carry myself and that’s how I work. At the end of the day it’s all about the team. Whatever they need me to do to win, that’s what I’m going to do.”

One benefit of waiting his turn is Trubisky doesn’t have to face the pressure that comes with being the expected savior for the franchise. Yet. H.

36 BEARS: NFL DRAFT

Pace puts job on line with risky draft picks

The beauty of the first couple of rounds of the NFL draft is there are always lots of winners, and although some don’t win as big as others, there are almost never any losers.

Even the New England Patriots and Minnesota Vikings, the only two teams not to participate in Round 1, have to feel good knowing they have Brandin Cooks and Sam Bradford, respectively, as a result.

What we have are our first impressions of what teams accomplished based on the reams of data and overkill of scouting reports now in the public domain, and for those of us in regular contact with the folks who are in fact pros in these ultimate flea markets, an educated guess as to who did well and who not so much.

That said, the best anyone can give Ryan Pace and the Bears is an incomplete.

It is difficult, if not impossible, to explain how a team looking to rebuild and off to a 9-23 start in the first two years of the Pace regime could invest its first four picks in this year’s draft and a No. 3 next year in two players

BEARS INSIDER Hub Arkush who are unlikely to play this season.

Give the Bears points for recouping this year’s fourth-rounder and adding a sixth-rounder this year and a fourthround pick next year by trading down nine spots in the second round before drafting tight end Adam Shaheen out of Ashland University, yet they then traded two later picks in this draft to move up a few places and grab Alabama safety Eddie Jackson in Round 4.

Shaheen is a legit prospect and a fascinating athlete at 6-foot-6½, 278 pounds who we had graded at Pro Football Weekly as a fifth-round pick, and I try to constantly remind you all, not that I suspect I need to, that Pace is a far superior judge of talent than I am.

But the Bears used the 45th pick in the draft on this kid after he prepped for the NFL in his redshirt junior year by playing Mercyhurst, Wayne State, Findlay, Ferris State, Tiffin, North-

wood, Lake Erie, Kentucky Wesleyan, Michigan Tech, Walsh and Ohio Dominican.

How can anyone possibly project what he would do against Alabama, Michigan or USC, let alone the Green Bay Packers or the Pittsburgh Steelers?

On the heels of using the second overall pick in the draft to select quarterback Mitchell Trubisky off 13 starts at North Carolina after failing to win the starting job his first two years in Chapel Hill, Pace was apparently not at all concerned about inspiring renewed confidence across Bears Nation for his vision of how to build a winning team.

I cannot stress strongly enough that I am not suggesting in any way these two prospects can’t or won’t prove to be outstanding football players! Pace could very well be onto something with one or both of them.

I am saying I’ve spent 24 hours in search of a comp for a GM who has used this type of “Special Athlete Available” – because neither of these kids was the best athlete available – drafting to build a winning football team, and I can’t find one.

Through the history of the draft, teams have made reaches for players such as Trubisky and Shaheen, occasionally with great success, but rarely if ever at No. 2 and 45.

Quarterback and tight end are two positions Bears fans have been begging the team to fix for decades, and I think we should all love the fact that Pace attacked them the way he has with the best free-agent prospects available and his first and second picks in the draft.

Even more than that, how can you not admire how he’s put his job and career on the line with the courage of his convictions?

Maybe Pace does see things others don’t and the Bears are in fact back on their road far too rarely traveled to the Super Bowl.

They better be, because if they’re not, the young GM just significantly shortened the time frame he’s likely to be given to get there.

Bears trade down in 2nd round, make 3 picks in Rounds 4-5

By KEVIN FISHBAIN

kfishbain@profootballweekly.com LAKE FOREST – The Bears traded down to the 45th pick Friday night, where they took Ashland tight end Adam Shaheen.

Then on Saturday, the third and final day of the draft, they made three picks to round out their 2017 class: defensive back/punt returner Eddie Jackson (Alabama), running back Tarik Cohen (North Carolina A&T) and offensive lineman Jordan Morgan (Kutztown).

The 6-foot-6, 278-pound Shaheen played basketball at Division II Pittsburgh-Johnstown before transferring to Ashland to play football.

“I just really missed football,” Shaheen said on a conference call. “I didn’t have much opportunity to play football coming out of high school because I was so thin. But I had a bug in me after watching an Ohio State game and just made the switch after that year. And I’m very happy I did.”

A self-described “late bloomer,” Shaheen said he was only 6-4, 196 pounds coming out of high school before putting on weight at Ashland while maintaining his speed to become an NFL prospect.

In 2015, Shaheen had 70 catches for 803 yards and 10 touchdowns. Last sea-

Bears second-round pick Adam Shaheen runs a drill at the NFL football scouting combine March 4 in Indianapolis. son, he set a school record with 16 touchdowns while catching 57 passes for 567 yards.

At the NFL Scouting Combine, Shaheen ran a 4.79 40-yard dash and put up 24 reps on the bench press, which tied for the lead among tight ends.

In the trade with the Cardinals, the Bears received Arizona’s fourth- and sixth-round picks this year, as well as a

2018 fourth-round pick. They also traded away their seventh-round pick.

Meanwhile, Bears general manager Ryan Pace said Jackson was high enough on the team’s draft board that he made a trade Saturday to move up five spots to No. 112 to make the pick.

“A player we had graded high on our board, obviously willing to move up for,” Pace said. “Plays free safety, also a very

good punt returner, converted corner, very good instincts, very good ball skills.

Something we need and something we’re excited about, so a good addition for us.”

Jackson comes to the NFL with medical questions after his senior season was cut short by a broken leg. However, Jackson – who is Alabama’s all-time leader in interception-return yards (he had nine career picks) – says he will be ready for Bourbonnais. Pace said Jackson will be limited in rookie minicamp.

Cohen has been a social media sensation for videos of not only his highlight reels, but also his ability to catch passes while making a backflip, something that came out of boredom one summer.

Only 5-foot-6, Cohen was extremely productive in college and an explosive runner. He thinks his diminutive frame should benefit him behind the Bears’ O-line, where he has a skill set that complements the big, physical, downhill runner Jordan Howard well.

After taking Shaheen on Friday, the Bears returned to the D-2 ranks to take Morgan. They know Morgan well after coaching him at the Senior Bowl.

Morgan started 43 games at left tackle but projects as a guard in the NFL. His performance at the Senior Bowl helped seal his status in the draft and with the Bears.

CUBS 7, RED SOX 4

The Cubs’ Anthony Rizzo celebrates his two-run home run that also drove in Kris Bryant (left) during the fourth inning Saturday in Boston. the seventh inning to highlight a threerun rally that brought the Cubs back from being down, 4-2, in the sixth. Rizzo hit one of three Cubs homers, and Bryant had a pair of doubles.

It’s been a rough go for Schwarber lately. He went 1 for 5 with four strikeouts in Friday night’s 5-4 loss. He flailed away against knuckleballer Steven Wright on Saturday, going 0 for 3 with two strikeouts before he singled against left-handed reliever Robby Scott, brought in specficially to face Schwarber.

Lackey, the Cubs’ sometimes irasci-

ble warhorse, managed to gut out 6 innings to get the win even though he allowed eight hits and four runs. He also exchanged greetings with home-plate umpire Bill Welke over a couple of close calls that didn’t go Lackey’s way early.

“Just keep fighting,” he said. “Until they take the ball from me, keep fighting, keep competing. Try to give your team a chance to win.”

The Red Sox did commit four errors, but the game was supremely entertaining for the 36,776 in attendance, many of whom were wearing Cubs blue and making their voices heard.

WHITE SOX 6, TIGERS 4 (10 INN.)

Sox cough up lead in 9th, regain it in 10th

By DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN dvanschouwen@suntimes.com

DETROIT – So there go the White Sox, blazing through the Indians, Royals and Tigers of the AL Central for six consecutive wins and building a tidy 13-9 record with one day left in April.

They are in first place in the division, and in the words of their very own general manager last week, before we get excited, “let’s give this thing a little time.”

It was GM Rick Hahn who astutely brought up the false alarm of 2016 when the Sox bolted to a 23-10 start and looked like a contender. And while no one is stepping out and calling this team a challenger, not in what is the first year of a rebuilding

phase, no one is dismissing it as a bottom feeder, either, not after they bailed out a 6-4 victory in 10 innings on a gray and chilly afternoon at Comerica Park.

Left-hander Derek Holland, signed to a one-year deal in the offseason to pitch innings vacated by the traded Chris Sale, pitched 61/3 innings of tworun ball and turned the rest over to a relievers Anthony Swarzak (unscored on this season), Tommy Kahnle (three batters, three strikeouts) and closer David Robertson.

It got messy after Robertson failed for the first time after going 5 for 5 in save opportunities, giving up a Victor Martinez homer on his first pitch and a tying RBI single to Alex Avila to force extra innings. But Melky Cabrera homered against left-hander Justin

Wilson and Avisail Garcia, the Sox’s Mr. April batting .376 with 20 RBIs, tripled in a second run to make it 6-4.

With Nate Jones unavailable after pitching three of the last four days, Robertson (1-0), clearly not at his best through a 33-pitch effort, got a second chance and went back out for the 10th and got through a scoreless inning.

It’s been that kind of month for the Sox. Holland (2.17 ERA) was good again and the Sox lineup chipped away for a 3-1 lead with an RBI single through the right side by Todd Frazier, Garcia’s sacrifice fly and Jose Abreu’s first of two homers.

Abreu’s second turned out to be needed add-on run that made it 4-2.

After Robertson blew it, Cabrera and Garcia wiped his stain away.

CHICAGO – There would be no valiant last stand at home for the Bulls.

Instead, all the United Center crowd was treated to was a fading whimper of a No. 8 seed.

A reminder that playing Jekyll and Hyde basketball throughout the 41-41 regular season was inevitably going to catch up to them in the postseason.

Friday, it did just that.

After taking a 2-0 lead in the bestof-seven series, the Bulls watched top-seeded Boston advance by beating them in four-straight games, with the final dagger being pushed in emphatically in Game 6, 105-83.

“It’s a wrap for these [bleepity bleepers],” Celtics All-Star guard Isaiah Thomas yelled to his teammates midway through the third quarter.

Thomas was just stating the obvious.

He easily could have said the same thing after Game 2, however.

It was late in the third quarter of that Bulls win that Rajon Rondo fractured his right thumb, and although the veteran finished the game and was outstanding in that win, it completely altered the rest of the series.

While the Rondo injury did play a factor, it didn’t change the fact that the Bulls were up 2-0 and still had star power in Jimmy Butler and Wade.

As the series went on, however, Butler was dealing with numerous injuries, including his foot, knee and left hand. Likely a product of how hard he played down the stretch to even will this team into the postseason.

He finished Game 6 with 23 points and seven rebounds but was limping by the end of the third and sat for the remainder of the game.

And Wade?

For the first time this season, it looked like his fountain of youth had finally dried up.

The 35-year-old played only 20 minutes and scored a playoff-tying career-low two points on 1-for-10 shooting.

Now he will have plenty of time to rest and decide whether he wants to return to the Bulls with his player option at $23.8 million for next season.

“I’m far away from that now,” Wade said of making that pending decision.

BOSTON – It seemed quite proper for Cubs manager Joe Maddon to do a little October/November dreaming Saturday.

After all, his defending champions are taking on another talented young team, the Boston Red Sox, in what many prognosticators say could be a Fall Classic matchup.

“I’ve been a fan of their group for a while,” Maddon said before the Cubs beat the Red Sox, 7-4, at Fenway Park.

“They’re just a really, really good group. They’ve got a great tradition, vibe going on. They’re going to be good for many years, also.

“I thought (Friday) night was a really nice first matchup among the youth on both sides. It would be nice to eventually end up in the last seven games of the year between these two teams.”

Whether anybody’s heart can take another seven-game World Series is a matter we’ll get to later.

But Saturday’s game featured Fenway in all its glory on a summerlike late afternoon. Young players from both sides figured into the action.

Andrew Benitendi hit a home run off Cubs starting pitcher John Lackey.

Cubs young stars Anthony Rizzo, Kris Bryant and Kyle Schwarber got into the action with Schwarber dunking a single into center field to break a 4-4 tie in

38 LOCAL NFL DRAFT ROUNDUP

Seahawks pick Pocic in Round 2; Bibbs traded STAFF REPORTS

LEMONT – The Joliet area got on the board in the NFL Draft on Friday night when the Seattle Seahawks selected LSU offensive lineman and Lemont graduate Ethan Pocic in the second round.

The 6-foot-6, 310-pound Pocic was the 58th overall selection. He had been projected as a third- or fourth-round selection by most draft experts.

Pocic played center for the last two years of his career at LSU. He was the starting left guard the year before that and played all five line positions at some point, including starting briefly at right tackle. That versatility helped improve his stock with NFL scouts. The Seahawks could use him at virtually any spot along the line.

A three-year starter in Baton Rouge and a team captain as a senior, Pocic helped the Tigers have a 1,000-yard rusher in all three years he was a starter. He was a first-team All-American in

2016 by the Football Writers Association of America and was a first-team All-SEC selection by the league’s coaches and The Associated Press.

Pocic’s brother Graham, who also graduated from Lemont, played in the NFL as an offensive lineman. He spent time with the St. Louis Rams, Bears and Pittsburgh Steelers in 2013 and 2014 after signing with the Rams as an undrafted free agent out of Illinois in 2013.

Bibbs traded: The San Francisco 49ers’ continued their trading frenzy Saturday on the third and final day of the draft, and in one of the deals, they acquired running back Kapri Bibbs and a fifth-round pick from the Denver Broncos for a 2018 fourth-round pick.

Bibbs, a 5-foot-11, 203-pound Plainfield North graduate, joined the Broncos in 2014 as an unrestricted free agent. He averaged 4.5 yards a carry last season and had two receptions, one which was a 69-yard touchdown reception against the Raiders.

BLACKHAWKS

Lemont native Darling traded

By MARK LAZERUS

mlazerus@suntimes.com After finishing up the final press scrum of the season last Saturday, Scott Darling took a little extra time to shake some hands and say some goodbyes. It was time for the next challenge – to be a No. 1 goalie in the NHL. It’s something Darling has earned, but something that simply couldn’t happen in Chicago, with his close friend and mentor Corey Crawford in his way.

He didn’t want to say it, but it was almost a certainty that his Blackhawks career was done.

It became official on Friday, as the Hawks dealt the Lemont native and pending unrestricted free agent to the Carolina Hurricanes for a third-round draft pick in the June draft. So the Hawks get an extra pick for a guy they were going to lose anyway, and the Hurricanes get exclusive negotiating rights with Darling until July 1.

He could command $4 million or more a season on his next contract, and the Hawks never considered trading the two-time Stanley Cup-winning Crawford just to save a couple million dollars and to get just four years young-

er at the position.

Darling, 28, made an inspirational climb to the NHL from the Southern Professional Hockey League after overcoming a drinking problem that nearly derailed his career.

He played a key role in the Hawks’ 2015 Stanley Cup run. After relieving a struggling Crawford in Game 1 of the first-round series against the Predators, he made 42 saves in a double-overtime victory that will go down in Hawks lore as the greatest relief performance in franchise history. He won three games in the series before Crawford took the net back in Game 6.

Darling went 39-17-9 with a .923 save percentage and a 2.37 goals-against average in three seasons with the Hawks, ably filling in for Crawford whether it was a spot start or a longer injury replacement stint.

“I feel like I’ve paid my dues as a backup, and when I’ve had a chance to play consecutive games I feel like I’ve shown that I can do it,” Darling said.

Now he’ll get his chance. If Carolina does manage to sign him, he’ll compete with either Eddie Lack or Cam Ward, or both depending on what the Hurricanes do next, for the top spot.

Joliet man wants to inspire young black men to be their best

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

J

OLIET – A group of black men dig a hole in a grassy field. A body bag lies nearby.

Yes, it’s a burial, performed by The New Hue. “We’re burying the stereotypes that have been given to black men,” said founder Chris Braggs of Joliet.

Stereotypes like “lazy” and “uneducated,” Braggs added.

The New Hue is a new Jolietbased grass-roots group of black men hoping to foster self-respect and the desire for success in black male youth.

On March 19, The New Hue raised $1,300 through a black tie mixer at Juliet’s in Joliet. Braggs said the money is to begin a mentoring program for black male youth ages 13 to 19.

The mentoring program would expose kids to everything from fashion to finance.

“The New Hue is a lot of things, but one thing it is not,” Braggs said.

“It’s not just a mentoring program for teens. We want to ignite a lifestyle.”

It all started because Chris Braggs, 38 and father of two preschoolers, didn’t like the negative perception of black men in his Facebook news feed.

Men fighting with each other.

Kids walking around with sagging pants.

“To me, it showed no self-pride or self-worth,” Braggs said. “I didn’t like it at all.”

So one day, he decided to address it. On Facebook. But as Braggs typed, “Somebody ought to do something about these kids living recklessly, this generation with no respect for themselves,” he stopped himself.

“I thought, ‘Instead of being part of the problem, why not do something to be part of the solution?’”

Braggs said. “So I grabbed my camera and did a few self-portraits.”

Braggs also started a blog and wrote about how to promote a more positive image of black men. To Braggs’ surprise, he received a good

“I’m really a shy person,” Chris Braggs said. “To put myself out there was a big deal.”

response.

“I’m really a shy person,” Braggs said. “To put myself out there was a big deal.”

Braggs figured that if he felt this way, others did, too. So he called a few friends to see whether they would participate. Some did photo shoots and shared their stories.

Some want to help mentor. Another wants to educate teens about money.

young black men across the country were losing their lives.

“The image of a black male was very negative,” Bradley said, “even in our community.”

So when Braggs proposed the photo shoot, Bradley was in.

“There’s a lot of power in an image,” Bradley said, “and I felt like what Chris was capturing with his camera was so much more than the picture. We were telling stories of success.”

Bradley said The New Hue hopes to effect change one step, one photo, one blog post and one social media post at a time.

“With each message we share, we just might give someone a little bit of hope, a little bit of light,” Bradley said.

William B. Orenic Intermediate School L.E.A.D. Club student Shradha Verma helps Senior Services of Will County member Carol Kijowski with questions Kijowski had about technology at the “iPad Lessons for Seniors” event held at the school in March.

Students help teach technology The HERALD–NEWS PLAINFIELD – Several students in William B. Orenic Intermediate School’s L.E.A.D. Club recently teamed up with Senior Services of Will County to host two “iPad Lessons for Seniors” workshops at the school.

Ten seniors signed up, and students paired up with them one-on-one to answer questions the seniors had on a variety of technology questions.

Student Shradha Verma helped Carol Kijowski learn how to FaceTime with her grandson, a U.S. Marine in North Carolina. She also showed her how to use Safari to send birthday greetings to her family and friends, among other requests.

Other seniors asked for help with such tasks as adding events to an iPad calendar, using the tablet’s camera, and sending photos from an iPhone to

an iPad, among other requests.

Before the workshops, the students prepared descriptive handouts with explanations and screenshots on such subjects as how to use iBooks and Pandora, how to Skype, how to use the devices’ cameras and calendars and keyboards, and how to access and use the App Store. Their senior students could take the handouts home with them.

Troy Community School District 30-C L.E.A.D. Club sponsors are Allison Acevedo and Kim Boye.

The club’s acronym, L.E.A.D., stands for, “Leadership, Empathy, Action and Dedication.” Its mission is to allow students to expand their views of themselves, their school and their community; build empathy, leadership and independence; and understand that through their individual actions, they make a positive difference in the lives of others.

Trinity Services in New Lenox to continue Lamb’s Fold’s mission The HERALD–NEWS JOLIET – Trinity Services Inc., of New Lenox, and Lamb’s Fold Center for Women and Children, of Joliet, are pleased to announce that on July 1, Trinity Services will continue Lamb’s Fold’s mission of helping homeless or abused women and children work toward self-sufficiency.

Since 1985, Lamb’s Fold has provided supportive housing and personalized recovery services to help countless women and children gain independence. Trinity Services has

worked with Lamb’s Fold since 2003, providing case management services to the organization’s clients.

Lamb’s Fold’s board of directors is excited that the organization’s mission will be continued by Trinity Services, Lamb’s Fold Executive Director Rhonda Sykes said.

Gaps in funding because of Illinois legislators’ inability to pass a full operating budget since July 2015 have left Lamb’s Fold on uncertain financial footing.

Buddy’s HELPERS presents donation for fund The HERALD–NEWS FRANKFORT – On March 24, 1994, a car veered off LaGrange Road while girls soccer teams were warming up for practice at Lincoln-Way East High School.

The driver blacked out behind the wheel due to low blood sugar while heading north on LaGrange Road. The car swerved into the southbound lanes, jumped a curb, plowed through a retention pond and went onto the practice soccer field. It drove through a chainlink fence and cornfield before stopping when it struck some trees.

In total, three girls were struck – two survived. Michele Bingham, a 14-year-old freshman girls soccer player, died that afternoon.

Since May 1994, more than $125,000 in college scholarships have been awarded in Michele’s

name to graduating seniors who apply and represent what Michele stood for – giving back to the community.

Michele was involved locally with different charities and community service events throughout junior high school and her freshman year of high school.

Buddy’s HELPERS presented the family and Lincoln-Way High School District 210 with a $2,500 check to be added to the fund.

This special $2,500 donation is a direct result of Buddy’s HELPERS Challenge Day, which is a part of the “Making A Difference On AND Off The Field” campaign.

Each March, the Challenge Day brings together superintendents, teachers, coaches, principals, athletic directors, parents and alumni from different PepsiCo Showdown schools to raise awareness and money for local charities.

Accepting the award were Ryan Bingham (5-year-old nephew), Sharon Bingham (mother), Scott Bingham (brother), Kevin Bingham (brother), Tim Kilrea (Michele’s high school coach and current superintendent of Lyons High School), and Veva Doogan (daughter played with Michele, member of scholarship judging committee). Rich Bingham (Dad) passed in 2009.

“I just hope when all is said and done, what The New Hue stands for gives everyone some inspiration to be a better version of themselves,” Donnis Draper said.

“He [Chris Braggs] wanted to present men that were well-dressed, that were groomed nicely, that had manners, that were gentlemen,” Courtney Ellis said.

• NEW HUE

Continued from page 39 the youth The New Hue mentor, addressing topics such as paying oneself first and the type of credit needed for buying a house.

“And making sure you’re not leveraging your future in terms of retirement for enjoyment today,” Carter said. “Just being patient and making sure you have a plan in place so when retirement comes you can enjoy the fruits of your labors.”

Carter doesn’t want today’s youth to learn those lessons the hard way, as he did. At 18, Carter had several credit cards, little income and used the cards “to make ends meet, instead of using them in emergencies or for expenses and then paying them off at the end of the month.”

Donnis Draper

Draper, 37, of Crest Hill, is a barber at Williams Barber Shop in Joliet.

Draper said his involvement as “a no-brainer” and that The New Hue is “something the community needs.”

In fact, Draper intends to participate in any way he’s asked or needed.

He agreed to the photo shoot for two reasons. Draper said he knew Braggs was a visionary and because kids need role models, not faraway on TV, but in their hometowns.

“I just hope when all is said and done, what The New Hue stands for gives everyone some inspiration to be a better version of themselves,” Draper said.

Courtney Ellis

For Ellis, 36, of Joliet and a Joliet firefighter, his involvement with The New Hue started with a hat. Ellis admired the hats Braggs wore and wanted one, too. So he and Braggs set out for Gorrin Bros. Hat Shop in Chicago’s Wicker Park neighborhood.

“I just hope when all is said and done, what The New Hue stands for gives everyone some inspiration to be a better version of themselves.”

Donnis Draper of Crest Hill

As the two childhood friends drove, they reminisced about the men in their lives who encouraged them and built them up. Ellis said he and Braggs talked about how they should do likewise for the younger generation.

Ellis feels the photo shoot was a good place to start and bought into Braggs’ vision.

“He wanted to present men that were well-dressed, that were groomed nicely, that had manners, that were gentlemen,” Ellis said.

Naturally, Ellis wore the hat that started it all.

The Rev. Wendell Martin

Martin, 35, is co-pastor of CityPoint Community Church in Chicago and a career trainer readiness instructor at Joliet Job Corps. He’s married with three children and loves wearing tailored suits, especially the Harlem Renaissance type.

Yes, he is planning a photo shoot with Braggs. Why? Because Martin feels its important for today’s youth to know how tie a necktie and shine their shoes, skills Martin’s father taught him in childhood, skills he stresses – and teaches – to students at Joliet Job Corps.

First appearances are important, Martin said, especially at job interviews.

“If they don’t remember your name,” Martin said, “at least they’ll remember the way you looked.”

Rotary Club of New Lenox picks Centennial Paul Harris Fellow The HERALD–NEWS In celebration of 100 years of giving, the Rotary Foundation challenged Rotary Clubs to find a member in their community that upheld the ideals of Rotary starting with the motto “Service Above Self.”

The Rotary Club of New Lenox chose Gary Cheney as its Centennial Paul Harris Fellow.

Cheney founded the annual ShareFest event, which helps volunteers connect with people in need.

The event features service projects, food drives, a health fair and more.

In 2007, Cheney announced his intentions at the Unity Breakfast. There was great interest, and by September the first ShareFest was a huge success.

People from the community came together to clean up the creek, donate food and complete

service projects, such as fixing a door for an elderly woman. ShareFest continues to grow in volunteers and service projects.

The Rotary Foundation is the financial engine for Rotary International and Rotary clubs to develop and implement charitable projects.

These projects range from polio eradication, clean water, disaster relief, and peace scholarships.

For a Rotarian, being a Paul Harris Fellow means that a member has contributed $1,000 to the foundation.

The Rotary Club of New Lenox is one of 33,000 Rotary clubs worldwide who believe in “Service Above Self.”

With the motto “Passionately Impacting Our Community and the World Through Service,” the club meets at 7 a.m. every Thursday morning at Country Charm Restaurant. Visitors are welcome.

ASK THE DOCTORS Elizabeth Ko and Eve Glazier is a whole-body endeavor, and simple lifestyle changes can make a difference.

Here at UCLA, we have a memory program for adults with known risk factors for cognitive decline. These risk factors include being sedentary, being overweight, having diabetes or having a family history of Alzheimer’s or dementia. Studies show stress and depression also can have a hand in memory issues.

Participants in the UCLA program improve their diets and are asked to exercise regularly and work on stress reduction.

They also do brain training, some of it quite similar to the regimens reported in the Neuron study. They make a point of memorizing the kind of information we now relegate to our electronic devices, such as a shopping list, frequently called phone numbers, birthdays of family and friends, addresses and one or two credit card numbers.

At the end of 12 weeks, participants reported improvements not only to their memories, but also to their moods and general sense of well-being. They enjoyed the challenges of shopping without a list and skipping the autodial feature on their phones to make calls themselves.

Perhaps a similar memory program is available in your area. And even if not, an improved diet, more exercise and basic memory practice are changes you can incorporate into your own life.

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

HOW TO PLAY Each row, column and set of 3-by-3 boxes must contain the numbers 1 through 9 without repetition.

Dear Doctors: My memory is terrible.

To be honest, it always has been. I seem to spend half my time searching for my keys or wondering whether I forgot to turn off the stove and lights. Could memory training help?

Dear Reader: Ready for a short answer that you’re not likely to forget?

Yes. As long as problems with recall do not arise from either medical or physiological issues, it is indeed possible to improve one’s memory. And it’s not just a matter of mastering complex systems or relying on clever tricks. An intriguing study published in the scientific journal Neuron shows a certain type of memory training has a measurable and lasting effect on networks that connect different regions of our brains.

Researchers compared the brain activity of 23 top memory athletes with 23 people with no memory training at all. After just six weeks of training, scans of the brains of the amateurs began to resemble those of the memory athletes.

The training focused on a strategy known as “method of loci,” also sometimes called the memory palace. The idea is you mentally “place” things you want to remember – a person’s name, where you put the phone bill, what your spouse asked you to pick up at the store – into a landscape you know really well. Then when you picture yourself moving through that landscape, you’ll encounter the items you wanted to remember.

What was striking about the study wasn’t just that the amateurs significantly improved their memories. In the months after learning and adopting the method of loci technique, the new pathways created in their brains still were there.

That’s all pretty high-octane stuff. But science shows maintaining a good memory

Daughter throws in the towel on fighting mother’s grudge Dear Abby: Six years ago, not long after I announced to my family I was going to be married, my parents decided to divorce because Dad had been cheating on Mom. Because I allowed him to walk me down the aisle, she didn’t attend my wedding. I was extremely hurt by it, but decided to forgive and forget.

Unfortunately, my mother could not do that.

For the last six years, she has ignored my phone calls and text messages. I have sent cards and gifts for birthdays, Christmas and Mother’s Day and received no acknowledgment (although she does generally send me a generic birthday or Christmas card).

We were very close before all this started, and I have tried reaching out to her in every way I know how.

What makes this even more awkward is she lives a stone’s throw away, and my teenage daughter is close with her.

If I’m outside when she drops my daughter off, she hides her face or pulls up in front of a big tree in my

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips yard so she can’t see me.

Cutting family out of her life is a pattern for her. My mother hasn’t spoken to her own father in almost 50 years, and out of her six siblings, she speaks to only one.

She cut her own mother out of her life for years until Grandma was on her deathbed.

With Mom’s birthday coming up, I’m at the point where I think I’m done sending cards and gifts to someone who can’t acknowledge me and blatantly hides from me. What do you think? – Castoff In Illinois Dear Castoff: Sending the greeting cards is a minimal way to maintain contact, and you could continue doing it. But if you’re really done, you’re done.

Dear Abby: After 34 years of marriage, I realized I must “earn the right” to have sex. This morning I

agreed to go to a particular movie my wife wants me to see with her in exchange for sex.

I now recognize this trading started years ago, and I just let it slide. But now I realize what I call “trading for favors” has entered other aspects of our relationship: “Do this for me, and I’ll do that for you.”

I have a pretty thick skin, but more and more, I’m concluding this is a game I’d rather not play. Can you give me any advice as to where we can go for help? I have no problem involving her in any solution. – Must

Earn The Right Dear Must Earn The Right: I agree

your wife must be a part of the solution to your problem. Because the old “pay for play” no longer suits you, the place to seek help would be the office of a licensed marriage counselor.

I wish you luck, because decades-old dynamics oftentimes can be hard to change.

Dear Abby: My best friend “Jennifer’s” mom recently passed away. I was with her through the entire pro-

cess. While cleaning out her mother’s home, Jennifer asked to store some things in my garage.

Of course I agreed. She’s unable to store her mother’s things because she lives in a small apartment. It has been three weeks now.

My question to you is, what is proper etiquette when asking a friend how long she wants me to store her mother’s belongings? – Storage Eti-

quette In The East Dear Etiquette: If keeping Jennifer’s

belongings in your garage is creating a problem for you, this is a question you should have asked before agreeing she could move them in.

Since you didn’t, and I assume you will want your garage back at some point, set a deadline and tell your friend in plenty of time so she can make other arrangements for storing them.

If you don’t, you could find yourself holding them indefinitely.

SUNDAY HOROSCOPE

By EUGENIA LAST

Newspaper Enterprise Association TODAY – Your insight into others’ thoughts or plans will put you in a favorable position.

Understanding and patience will help you resolve issues that affect you as well as your loved ones or neighbors. An opportunity to excel will be granted.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Get together with friends, relatives or people who share the same concerns as you. The input you offer will be appreciated. Don’t be afraid to do things differently.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Refuse to let someone or something from your past stand in the way.

Taking control of any situation you face will do

you good and encourage you to excel.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Put your time and energy into something you enjoy. Indulging in a creative hobby, attending a trade show or taking better care of your health and well-being is a good place to start.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Be open to suggestions.

An interest in health and physical fitness will give you a sense of strength and power. Make decisions that will encourage you to enhance your best attributes.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Use your creative imagination when searching for personal solutions. Find out the truth before you make accusations. Answers can be found if you are understanding and tolerant.

changes to your home or lifestyle that will bring you joy.

Put personal matters first and make plans that include your family, loved ones and friends. A physical challenge will do you good.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Look at your current situation at work and home. If you don’t like what’s happening, do something about it. Don’t wait for someone else to make the first move.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Don’t let your emotions spin out of control. Be careful when dealing with people putting demands on you or using emotional manipulation. Don’t feel guilty about knowing enough to walk away.

Charles Buxton, a 19th century English brewer, philanthropist, writer and member of parliament, said, “Experience shows that success is due less to ability than to zeal. The winner is he who gives himself to his work, body and soul.”

A successful bridge player has ability and zeal. Whether declarer or a defender, he counts winners, losers and high-card points. In today’s deal, for example, how should South plan the play in seven clubs after West leads the heart queen?

That North hand was nearly too strong for a 15-17 no-trump because of its five-card suit, three aces and one king. (That ace-king number is typical for a two-no-trump opening.)

South, giving due credit to his long suit, used two doses of Gerber before signing off in seven clubs.

Usually in a trump contract, you first count losers. However, in a grand slam you cannot afford any, so you should tally winners. Here, declarer starts with 12: two spades, two hearts, two diamonds and six clubs.

From where may the extra winner come?

South must establish a third diamond trick, either because the queen falls in one or two rounds, or by finding the suit splitting 4-3.

Declarer carefully takes the first trick with his heart king, to retain the ace as a vital dummy entry. He cashes the club king and diamond king, then plays a trump to dummy’s ace.

After a diamond ruff, a third round of trumps, a spade to dummy’s king, a second diamond ruff and a heart to the ace, South cashes the diamond ace and jack, on which he discards his two remaining major-suit cards.
