bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A member of the nurses’ negotiating team reported progress during contract talks Thursday with administration at Presence Saint Joseph Medical Center.

The nurses voted, 529-89, Wednesday night to authorize the negotiating team to call a three-day strike. The current contract expires at the end of Saturday.

“We are making headway,” Pat Meade, community liaison for Presence Saint Joseph’s local unit of the Illinois Nurses Association, said during a break in negotiations in the afternoon.

Meade said the administration had offered a new pay proposal, and the two sides were discussing staffing problems at the hospital. She said talks appeared to be headed in a good direction.

“If you look at [Wednesday] and [Thursday], we are on the road, and we do have a federal mediator here,” Meade said. “It’s a lot better than it was. The two parties are making moves, and we are exchanging ideas.”

The federal mediator joined the negotiations on Wednesday.

The vote gives the negotiating team the authority to call a three-day strike, although union officials have said talks

can continue past Saturday without a strike if there is progress in the bargaining.

The union is required to give a 10-day notice before a strike, so a walkout would not occur immediately if the negotiating team calls for a strike.

Presence Saint Joseph President Robert Erickson issued a statement Wednesday night after the vote, saying a strike “will place a major strain on hospital operations, jeopardizing the health and safety of the local community.”

Erickson said the hospital would be forced to divert patients needing emer-

gency care, cancel elective and medical surgeries, and adjust non-nursing staffing to deal with lower numbers of patients.

He said the hospital also would need to contract with an agency nursing staff, which typically requires a contract commitment of a minimum of five days.

Issues that have divided the two sides have included pay, staffing and job duties.

INA, before Thursday, said it wanted a 20 percent increase in pay to implement a new wage scale to address higher pay rates the hospital has given to new nurses.

“We know that Presence has hired nurses and paid them more than some of their current nursing staff with the same level of experience,” INA Executive Director Alice Johnson said in a written statement after the strike vote. “We are asking Presence to pay nurses in an equitable manner and bring nurses’ salaries in line with these new hires.”

Erickson has said that new nurses hired at higher rates have been isolated incidents, which hospital administration has offered to address.

He characterized the INA’s pay proposal as a 23 percent increase. Administration before Thursday had proposed increases of 2.5 percent and 2 percent over two years.

Lewis receives $1.5M gift to fund scholarships The HERALD–NEWS ROMEOVILLE – Lewis University received a $1.5 million donation to support scholarships that may make it possible for more than 100 students to attend the school over the next 10 years.

The donation was received May 4 from Give Something Back, an organization that provides scholarships and mentoring to low-income students in five states, according to a news release from Lewis University, a private Catholic school in Romeoville.

The money will go toward scholarship funds that – combined with state, federal and other funding from Lewis – could allow more than 100 students to

“Lewis University is incredibly proud and grateful to be part of the life-changing journey that Give Something Back offers to students,” President David Livingston said in a news release. “We look forward to continuing our partnership and relationship with current students who are at Lewis and the students who will be coming over the next decade.”

Robert Carr, founder of Give Something Back, presented the gift to the university. Carr grew up in a financially strapped household in Homer Township and, as a high school senior, he received a $250 scholarship from the Lockport

That gift inspired Carr to establish Give Something Back to help working-class students.

“These are students who could use a break. I am very proud that this partnership with Lewis University is making it possible for so many deserving students to go to college and pursue career goals that would otherwise be out of their reach,” Carr said in a news release.

Give Something Back has donated to Lewis in the past. In 2013, the organization gave $1 million as part of its innovative partnership program that provides mentors and scholarships to help Pell Grant-eligible students go to college and graduate in four years without debt.

REMEMBRANCE OF OFFICERS Local police departments come together for memorial ceremony

By BRIAN STANLEY

bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Hundreds of officers from dozens of different police departments gathered Thursday to mark Will County Law Enforcement Memorial Day. For the 36th year, local police departments joined law enforcement nationwide to honor those who have lost their lives in the line of duty.

A “Blue Mass” held at St. Mary Magdalene Church was followed by a

wreath-laying on the lawn of the Will County Courthouse as Shorewood Chief Aaron Klima read the names. Since 1865, 33 officers have died in the line of duty in Will County – most recently, Joliet officer Jonathan Walsh, who died in a 2004 car crash.

“Society, in general, backs up police officers [and] wants us to do well,” Illinois State Police Director Leo Schmitz said. “They’re behind officers, just like this crowd is behind you now.”

Schmitz noted people expect police to

be not only protectors, but social workers, marriage counselors and mental health experts.

“They have expectations,” Schmitz said. “[But] the police are the community. It isn’t us and them. It’s ‘us.’ We work together.”

Two police officers and two Troy Middle School students whose fathers are police officers placed a wreath in the shape of a badge near the stone monument listing the names of the fallen officers. The courthouse ceremony fea-

tured bagpipers performing “Amazing Grace” and a 21-gun salute from the Will County Sheriff’s rifle squad as the flags were lowered to half staff.

Karin Kendzora, a retired Sheriff’s deputy who lost her son, Will County Sheriff’s Deputy Ray Topolewski, to a hit-and-run driver in 1985, sat alone on the benches near the memorial during the ceremony. Sheriff’s Deputy Kim Topolewski, Ray’s niece, stood behind her

Four men arrested in County Board to Romeoville gas rip-off mull $2.28M in tweaks to courthouse

By BRIAN STANLEY

bstanley@shawmedia.com

By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The Will County Board is contemplating whether to add about $2.28 million in features to the county’s next courthouse.

Consultants have worked toward a target of $195 million for the new Will County Judicial Complex, as directed by the board months ago. On Thursday, the board held a special meeting to get the entire board up to speed on the project.

Architecture firm Wight & Co. presented the board with what the county could get for the $195 million.

The design, to this point, has focused on functionality and necessities as the firm tried to incorporate requests from various user groups, such as the judiciary and circuit clerk’s office.

During the process, many wants were eliminated to drive the cost down.

But Wight & Co. made a list of recommendations the firm believes could save the county money in the long run and take the building to the next level aesthetically and functionally.

Wight & Co. Vice President Jason Dwyer highlighted a handful of options.

The firm is recommending a water softening system to handle Joliet’s “hard” water. Without the system, the firm has warned that plumbing will have to be replaced more frequently.

The firm suggested a sixth elevator be fully built out. The current plan has five elevators, with a sixth getting installed later when population rises, in an effort to save costs now. But consultants say it will cost three times as much to add it later.

Dwyer also is recommending indoor and outdoor flooring that will cost more short term but will last longer.

Wight & Co. suggested precast concrete paver units for the exterior plaza, rather than concrete pavement. Dwyer said the units are easier and cheaper to replace than repaving an entire surface.

The firm also suggested terrazzo flooring instead of tile in the main lobby. Consultants said that tiles’ grout joints get dirty and are hard to

“We have the right to a new associate judge for every 35,000 new population from one census to the next, by law.”

Richard Schoenstedt Will County chief judge

maintain, while a terrazzo floor can last forever if done well.

Will County Chief Judge Richard Schoenstedt spoke to the board Thursday in favor of the add-ons, noting he wanted to ensure it was functional first and foremost, but in some cases you can make exceptions to make the building look and feel right.

“It’s important that when people are in front of a judge they know the importance of what they’re doing,” Schoenstedt said. “We want to put them emotionally and mentally in a state where they understand all this, and that doesn’t start when they’re in front of a judge, in a courtroom or in public hallways. It starts when they approach the building.”

The county currently has 36 judges, with a right to two more because of population increases, Schoenstedt said. But they have nowhere to put them in the current courthouse, and he expects the county to be granted two more with the 2020 census.

“We have the right to a new associate judge for every 35,000 new population from one census to the next, by law,” he said.

The board has intended to leave two floors as shells and install courtrooms in them at a later date, but Schoenstedt and some board members spoke Thursday in favor of building out all 38 courtrooms right off the bat.

The fully built complex with all add-ons would be in the $215 million range, but the county’s superior bond rating would allow it to take on the higher cost, Finance Committee Chair Mike Fricilone, R-Homer Glen, said.

The Capital Improvements Committee will next discuss the proposals June 6.

ROMEOVILLE – Four men were arrested Wednesday after allegedly using a woman’s credit card information to buy hundreds of gallons of gas.

Cmdr. John Ferdinardo said the victim’s bank notified her at 8:45 Johnny Fox p.m. that her cards were being used at Speedway, 1300 W. Normantown Road, Romeoville.

“She called the clerk, who saw a white box truck at one of the pumps and called us,” Ferdinar- Teremius do said. Officers arrived Webb to stop the truck and a GMC van that was with it from leaving.

“During the stop, officers found numerous debit cards,” Ferdinardo said.

Police also reportedly found the box truck contained 64 five-gallon containers filled with gasoline and a 55-gallon drum that was three-quarters full.

Johnny Fox, 44, of Chicago; Aldon Webb, 45, of Maywood; Teremius Webb, 20, of Chicago; and Vincent Washington, 34, of Fitchburg, Wisconsin, were arrested on charges Aldon Webb of identity theft. Washington also was charged with driving with a suspended license.

Ferdinardo said Thursday detectives were reviewing the case with the Will County Vincent State’s Attorney’s Office Washington and other charges may be filed. According to police reports, Speedway is not allowed to put the gas back in the tanks once it had been dispensed.

Joliet works on redevelopment agreement for Stadium Club

By BOB OKON

bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Potential developers want to put a sandwich shop and doughnut shop along with apartments into a cityowned building just outside the rightfield wall at Slammers stadium.

City staff is recommending the proposal over another one to put a microbrewery into the so-called “Stadium Club” at 141 E. Jefferson St. The Joliet City Council Economic Development Committee on Thursday gave the OK to work out a redevelopment agreement with Stadium Club LLC to take over the building.

The building is one of two in the downtown area that the city is trying to put back in the private market by turning them over to developers that spend $300,000 on renovations. The other is the old Crabigale’s comedy club building at 1 E. Cass St. The Stadium Club is a three-story, 18,000-square-foot building that at one time was a car dealership and now is used for storage. The partners in Stadium Club LLC are Mel Yarmat and Dan Shafron, who have previous experience in property development.

Jones said the developers already are lining up commercial tenants for the building. Jones said the developers showed interest in the building even before the city put out a request for proposals for redevelopment.

Kendall Jackson, director of planning, said the Stadium Club LLC proposal is appealing because of the commercial uses and the developers’ understanding of the market.

The city is going through the same process for the Crabigale’s property, also known as the Loughran Building. Potential developers are given the opportunity to take ownership of the buildings if they spend $300,000 on upgrades to put them back into use.

The city is making its first effort to market the Stadium Club, but a number of prospects for the Crabigale’s building have fallen through.

Jones said the city currently is evaluating two proposals for the Crabigale’s building. One would put a chiropractors’ office and resale shop on the first floor while converting the upper two floors to residences. The other would put a restaurant on the first floor and also convert upper space into apartments.

Forest Preserve commissioners approve tax abatement for Channahon development

By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The Forest Preserve District of Will County Board of Commissioners approved a tax abatement agreement that will push forward the development of an industrial complex in Channahon.

Other taxing bodies, such as the Will County Board, municipalities and school districts have approved or are expected to approve the agreement in the coming weeks. The Will County Board will vote next week on the agreement.

Venture One Real Estate plans to build a 4 million-square-foot industrial park on a 290-acre parcel over the next several years between Route 6 and Bluff Road east of Interstate 55.

The tax abatement agreement would reimburse Venture One, which has agreed to pay for extension of a water main and road improvements. It is estimated the cost of the road improvements will be $7.8 million and the cost of the water main extension will be

JOLIET – The Joliet District 86 board received the final assessment of the needs of facilities districtwide.

The findings of the assessment presented to the board Wednesday identified estimated costs of about $33.5 million of work to be done over the next five years and $416,957 of recommended projects to be addressed within the next year, according to the district.

The data from the facility assessment will help with prioritizing building needs, next steps and assist in preparing a facility master plan, Superintendent Theresa Rouse said. She said some of the work could be done in-house by the district.

“Obviously, the dollar signs are large for the work that needs to be done. We know we have older buildings; we know we have needs. But this is the kind of data we need to be able to move into a facility master plan process,” Rouse said to the board.

The data of the facilities assessment was organized in a database called AssetCALC by EMG, a company that worked with STR Partners to inspect

and review all 23 facility sites of District 86, which includes 21 schools, the administrative center and the maintenance building.

Alan Armbrust, STR Partners executive manager, remarked at a April 12 district committee meeting that the district is “very diverse” in the types of buildings and conditions.

He said to the board Wednesday that even a district that is well-financed and methodical in building upkeep will see a significant cost.

“Zero is an unachievable goal. The goal is not to get to zero. The goal is to give you the tools to prioritize,” Armbrust said.

Andrew Hupp, EMG project manager, who presented the AssetCALC database, said the data did not include anything considered routine maintenance, such as a single classroom needing painting.

He said AssetCALC has a capital planning tool that can help with budgeting and prioritizing projects.

The district began efforts to review the conditions of its buildings last December after the board approved facilities condition assessment work by STR Partners.

At the Mass, which was attended by many of the county’s police chiefs, Kendzora read Bible verses about how God’s promises eventually were fulfilled. Father Chris Groh, who also is the Joliet Police Department’s chap-

lain, said police officers are needed for an imperfect world.

“There is indeed in our world that thin blue line between order and chaos,” Groh said. “These officers make sure our communities are safe and watched over.” “[With] people who choose to bring ill unto others, all we can do is protect those who are most vulnerable,” he said.

Actor Michael Parks dies at 77

By JAKE COYLE

The Associated Press NEW YORK – Michael Parks, a prolific character actor who found early fame in 1960s countercultural roles and later became a favorite of directors including Quentin Tarantino and Kevin Smith, has died. He was 77.

He died Tuesday in Los Angeles, his agent, Jane Schulman, said Wednesday.

In a career that spanned six decades, Parks acted in more than 100 films and TV shows. Many of his early starring roles were in anti-establishment

’60s-era films. He played the Canadian drug runner Jean Renault on David Lynch’s “Twin Peaks.”

Parks found perhaps his most famous parts in the 1990s thanks to the interest of Tarantino, Smith and Robert Rodriguez. Each turned to Parks again and again for meaty supporting roles.

Sometimes, the characters followed Parks from filmmaker to filmmaker. He played Texas Ranger Earl McGraw in Rodriguez’s “From Dusk Till Dawn,” a role he reprised in “Kill Bill” and “Grindhouse.” His actor son, James Parks, often joined him, playing McGraw’s son Edgar.

Recovering heroin addict recalls son’s overdose “A mother’s intuition is right.

If they think something is going on, something is going on.”

By MATT DUTTON

The Quincy Herald-Whig CARTHAGE – Naperville native Tim Ryan has experienced the worst sides of the opioid epidemic.

A heroin addict, Ryan spent 14 months in prison. Six months after his release, his son, Nick, 20, died of a heroin overdose.

“When my son died, every Facebook message and text was drug-related,” he said. “Parents don’t know what they don’t know.”

Ryan shared his story on an April night during the Opioid Crisis Next Door, a substance abuse awareness presentation at Carthage’s Legacy Theater. Naperville police Detective Rich Wistocki also spoke on cellphone monitoring and cybercrimes.

“It’s empowering parents to let them know what’s going on with technology,” Ryan said. “A mother’s intuition is right. If they think something is going on, something is going on.”

Ryan has been sober for 4½ years.

He is the founder of A Man in Recovery Foundation and chief marketing officer for Banyan Treatment Centers; has been featured in national publications and on TV shows; and recently published a memoir, “From Dope to Hope: A Man in Recovery.”

Ryan had simple advice.

“Quit being friends with your kids.

Be parents,” he said. “With my son, I wasn’t his parent. I was his friend, and he’s dead now.”

Ryan was accompanied by his son Max, 19, who also spoke on growing up with a drug-addicted father and losing his brother.

“The task force has two prongs,” Memorial Hospital CEO Ada Bair said.

“One is education and prevention. The other piece centers around what else we need to do for treatment and recovery.”

Bair hopes the task force is getting a jump on the heroin problem in Hancock County before it becomes critical.

No one younger than 18 has died of an opioid overdose in Hancock County, but she fears it might already be out of control.

“Our eyes were opened through our kids today,” Bair said. “Tim and his son did a program for the schools. Tim asked the kids to raise their hands if they knew somebody who used alcohol. He went down the tier and started to get into opioids and cocaine. A third of the high school and middle school students still had their hands up. We have an issue.”

Funding for the presentations was provided by a grant from the National Association of County and City Health Officials. The task force is seeking a federal grant from the Department of Human Services, which would spark

Trump: I was going to fire Comey anyway

By JULIE PACE, EILEEN SULLIVAN and JAKE PEARSON The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – Contradicting previous White House explanations, President Donald Trump declared Thursday he had planned to fire FBI Director James Comey all along, regardless of whether top Justice Department officials recommended the stunning step.

His assertions came as Comey’s temporary replacement joined in, contradicting other administration statements on the snowballing controversy.

In an interview with NBC News, Trump also said he’d asked Comey point-blank if he was under investigation and was assured three times he was not. Trump showed no concern that the request might be viewed as interference in an active FBI probe into his 2016 campaign’s possible ties to Russia’s election meddling.

“I said, ‘If it’s possible, would you let me know am I under investigation?’ He said you are not under investigation,” Trump told NBC. He said the discussions happened in two phone calls and at a dinner in which Comey was asking to keep his job.

Comey has not confirmed Trump’s account.

The New York Times late Thursday cited two unnamed Comey associates who recounted his tale of a January dinner with the president in which Trump asked for a pledge of loyalty.

Comey declined, instead offering “honesty.” When Trump then pressed for “honest loyalty,” Comey told the president, “you will have that,” said the associates, who told the newspaper they agreed to keep the story confidential while Comey was FBI director.

White House spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders disputed the report and said the president would “never even suggest the expectation of per-

AP photo

Acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe listens Thursday on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., while testifying before a Senate Intelligence Committee hearing on major threats facing the U.S. sonal loyalty.”

But the account echoed wording in a comment made a day earlier to The Associated Press by longtime Comey friend Daniel Richman, a former federal prosecutor, who said the president had removed “somebody unwilling to pledge absolute loyalty to him.”

The White House initially cited a Justice Department memo criticizing Comey’s handling of last year’s investigation into Hillary Clinton’s emails as the impetus for Trump’s decision. But Trump on Thursday acknowledged for the first time that the Russia investigation – which he dismissed as a “made-up story” – also was on his mind as he ousted the man overseeing the probe.

The shifting accounts of the decision to fire Comey, whom Trump derided as a “showboat” and “grandstander,” added to a mounting sense of uncertainty and chaos in the West Wing, as aides scrambled to get their stories straight and appease an angry president.

Not even Vice President Mike Pence was spared the embarrassment of having told a version of events that was later discredited by Trump.

The White House’s explanations continued to crumble

throughout the day Thursday.

On Capitol Hill, acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe strongly disputed the White House’s assertion that Comey had been fired in part because he had lost the confidence of the FBI’s rank-and-file.

“That is not accurate,” McCabe said. “Director Comey enjoyed broad support within the FBI and still does to this day.”

Unfazed, Sanders insisted she had heard from “countless” members of the FBI who welcomed the president’s decision.

McCabe also pointed out the remarkable nature of Trump’s version of his conversations with Comey. McCabe told a Senate panel it was not “standard practice” to tell an individual whether they are under investigation.

Previous presidents have made a public show of staying out of legal matters, so as not to appear to be injecting politics.

Trump’s comments demonstrated his striking deviation from that practice.

The ousted director himself is said to be confident that his own version of events will come out, possibly in an appearance before Congress, according to an associate who has been in touch with him since his firing Tuesday.

Playing the election-loss blame game

“Victory has a thousand fathers, but defeat is an orphan.”

– John F. Kennedy SPRINGFIELD – I couldn’t help but think of these Kennedy remarks when I heard Hillary Clinton kvetching about why she lost the election.

Let’s see, she said it’s the FBI’s fault. Or maybe it’s the Russians.

I don’t have any problem believing that either one of those things could have cost her the election.

But to quote Democratic political strategist David Axelrod: “It takes a lot of work to lose to Donald Trump.”

After all, Trump is the least popular winner of a U.S. presidential race in modern times.

But neither FBI Director James Comey, nor the Russians told Clinton to ignore Wisconsin or not put campaign resources into Michigan until the final week.

When I was a student at Gales-

VIEWS Scott Reeder burg High School, a basketball coach deflected blame for a loss from a teenager who missed the needed basket during the final seconds of the game by pointing out that there were many baskets missed during the game.

He was right, of course.

There are many things that contribute to a loss.

Regular readers of this column know that I’m not fond of either Trump or Clinton.

Trump strikes me as a prevaricating braggart. Clinton, on the other hand, struggled to own up to her own mistakes and spoke condescendingly to broad swaths of the American people.

While true leaders shouldn’t equivocate, ours is a political culture that nurtures narcissists incapable of meaningful self-blame, but all too willing to embrace self-pity.

It’s not a new phenomenon. Think of Richard Nixon’s 1962 post-defeat remarks to the political press corps, “You don’t have Nixon to kick around anymore.”

And in his biography, Nixon blamed Soviet Leader Nikita Khrushchev for tipping the 1960 presidential election away from him and to Kennedy. (It’s those dog-gone Russians again.)

Tricky Dick is hardly unique.

After most elections I’ve covered, losers cast blame. And it’s rarely on themselves.

I remember after one Moline Democratic primary, a drunken loser cursed the voters for their ignorance in not choosing him. (After listening to that diatribe for several minutes,

I had to give those voters credit for being pretty smart.)

And sometimes, would-be explanations border on excuses.

Take House Speaker Mike Madigan’s explanation for losing his supermajority during the last election: “Republicans’ millions spent, coupled with the Trump headwind in downstate Illinois, created a difficult environment for many Democratic candidates.”

Funny, I’ve yet to hear a losing politician say, “I guess the voters liked my opponent’s ideas better than mine.”

And we are in for a long wait before one does.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Lake Michigan not good Asian Carp habitat

To the Editor: As an enthusiastic fisherman that doesn’t get out as often as I used to, Lake Michigan does not look like Asian Carp habitat, not even close.

Just as lake trout and salmon don’t live in the Illinois River, Asian Carp will not thrive in Lake Michigan.

Surely most enthusiastic sport fishermen would support this view. What would they eat? The water is extremely clear and deep. Lake Erie is another matter entirely however.

GIRLS TRACK & FIELD: CLASS 3A OTTAWA SECTIONAL

WEST HAS A NIGHT

Tigers’ Johnson, Thompson strong in sectional; Minooka finishes third

By JEFF DE GRAW

Shaw Media correspondent OTTAWA – The Joliet West girls track program had a day Thursday night at the Class 3A Ottawa Sectional.

The Tigers were led by Melzina Johnson, who won the long jump (17 feet, 9½ inches) and 100 meters (12.20 seconds) and ran an incredible an-

chor leg in the 4x100 relay to get the victory (49.39). She was joined on the relay by Lataydra Thompson, Niyah Tucker and Shyasia Baker.

“I’m really calm right now because there are more events to go next week,” Johnson said. “But I’m so excited to be going back to state. The relays have worked really hard and it has paid off. This has been a great meet; and I’m so proud of this team

and coaches.”

Thompson also won the 100 hurdles in 15.51.

“I’m so excited,” Thompson said.

“This will be my third time at state, but this is special because of all the work I’ve put in and this being my senior year. My coaches have been so great to get me in this position. I can’t thank them enough.”

Naperville North won the team ti-

tle with 101 points. Naperville Central was second (58), with Minooka third (57) and Joliet West fourth (52). Plainfield South was sixth, Plainfield East ninth with Plainfield North 11th and Plainfield Central 13th.

20 BOYS TRACK & FIELD: SOUTHWEST PRAIRIE CONFERENCE MEET

Knudsen, Minooka win SPC title

By TIM TIERNEY

Shaw Media correspondent JOLIET – The Southwest Prairie Conference boys track meet Thursday was a showcase for two runners who represent the best in Illinois, present and future.

Minooka senior Soren Knudsen and Plainfield North freshman Marcellus Moore dazzled the crowd for hours at Memorial Stadium.

Knudsen, the Class 3A state cross country champion last fall, won the 3,200-meter run and the 800 before he finished his day with a meet record of 4 minutes, 14.73 seconds in the 1,600.

Moore recorded the state’s fastest time this year in the 100 with a winning time of 10.48 seconds. He also won the 200 (21.69) and ran on two first-place relays.

Knudsen, who raised his arms above his head in celebration as he crossed the 1,600 finish line, led Minooka to a seven-point victory for the conference championship, 114-107 over Plainfield North.

“That’s what today’s all about,’’ Knudsen said of Minooka’s second-straight conference title and fifth in six years.

Third-place Plainfield South scored 72 points, followed by Plainfield East (64), Oswego (60), Oswego East (43), Romeoville (37), Joliet Central (25), Plainfield Central (18) and Joliet West (18).

“I kind of made a bit of an individual sacrifice in running three events, where I could have been going for meet records,’’ Knudsen said.

“I wanted to get that 30 points for the team. That’s the most important thing today.’’

Knudsen ran 8:55 a week earlier at the Conant Invitational to fuel his confidence as a state contender in the 3,200.

He won the conference title Thursday in 9:26.76.

Knudsen was second to Oswego’s Bennett Peterson through the first five laps of the 3,200 before he made his move into the lead.

“I wanted to do as little as I could to save up energy for the 800 and the 1,600,’’ Knudsen said. “I was trying to share the pace a little bit with Bennett. When it came down to it, I was comfortable when I needed it the most.’’

Knudsen took third in the state 1,600 last year (4:17.10) and would like to go after state titles in both

long races in two weeks.

“I think the plan right now is to run the 3,200 and the 1,600 downstate,’’ he said. “Not completely set in stone, but that is the plan. After cross country, it was definitely in my mind a lot.

“I kind of didn’t have a lot of belief in being able to win the triple crown – cross country, two mile and mile – and then last weekend I ran the 8:55.

That really opened my eyes. Now I believe it’s possible. That’s the most important thing.’’

Minooka coach Nick Lundin had high praise for Knudsen and Moore.

“I tell you what, between Soren and Marcellus Moore, if you like track and field, tonight was pretty special,’’ Lundin said. “It’s a glimpse of how good this state meet is going to be. And that’s just those two kids.’’

Moore received numerous congratulations from teammates and rivals after the 100 and a big hug from Plainfield North coach Tony Holler.

“It felt really smooth coming out of the blocks,’’ Moore said. “Today I really wanted to get my No. 1 spot back in Illinois. It felt good. There’s a lot coming at me, but I’m starting to get a little more used to it.’’

Moore ran the second leg on

“I’m so proud of all the girls and how they have bought into the program. To have four sectional champions is incredible.”

Minooka was led by Emily Shelton, who won the 3,200 (10:33.81) and also qualified in the 1,600 meters by placing fourth (5:02.51).

“I’m very happy with my times today,” Shelton said. “It was finally nice to be able to really compete in nice weather.”

Also qualifying for the Indians were Ashley Tutt in the 3,200 (11:02.96, fourth), Brooklyn Bachmann in the pole vault (10-0, second), MacKenzie Callahan with a second in the 1,600 meters (5:00.80) and the 4x400 relay (4:04.40) of Callahan, Cierra Bachmann, Emily Johnson and Eryn Tennison.

Plainfield East had a winner in the triple jump as Lota Onua jumped 36-9. East seniors Alexis Stevens and Katie Wiatrak qualified in the high jump, both clearing 5-3.

“The last four years of work has finally payed off,” Stevens said. “Katie and I always push each other in prac-

North’s first-place 400 relay (41.98) that included leadoff Jordan Gumila, Brian Registe and Carlos Baggett. A senior, Baggett won the 100 at last year’s conference meet.

Plainfield North champions also included Gumila in the triple jump (45 feet, 10 inches), Ari Ekowa in the discus (155-5) and the 800 relay (1:28.96) of Registe, Anthony Capezio, Moore and Baggett.

Minooka also got first places from Steve Lasinis in the long jump (22-4), Brennan Loughran in the pole vault (14-10) and Antonio Hayden in the high jump (6-3).

Plainfield South’s Ben Thoms was the best in both hurdle events. He won the 110 hurdles in 14.71 and followed that with a first-place 40.62 in the 300 hurdles.

“It feels great, just keep doing better and better, practice hard,’’ Thoms said. “I knew I was going to do it. I was seeded the fastest time. I wanted to be the best in the conference and I want to be best in state.’’

Romeoville’s Amiri Buchanan claimed first in the shot put (51-2).

Oswego set a meet record in winning the 3,200 relay (7:58.98).

They are the first state qualifiers in the high jump for East.

“I’m beyond words,” Wiatrak said. “It was on my first attempt at

5-3 and I told myself do it now, don’t wait. I’ve waited a long time for this moment.”

Plainfield South had a win from Daijah Brown in the 400 meters (57.62) and also qualified two in the

100 meters as Jebriey McClellan was second (12.49) and Brianna Eaton was sixth (12.61).

“Tonight I ran a smart race and didn’t wait till the end,” Brown said of her 400 victory. “I ran a smart race and attacked, and it paid off.”

The Cougars’ 4x200 relay also qualified with a second-place finish in 1:45.98.

Eaton and McClellan were joined

by Aiyanna Hilton and Chisom Ogbozor. The 4x400 relay placed third (4:03.96) and advanced.

Plainfield North had freshman Aja Bradshaw finish second in the 200 (26.52) and Juliana Stogsdill placed fifth in the 3,200 (11:04.44) to advance to state.

his credit. But his fortunes changed as he got a bunt single and scored in a two-run second inning and then delivered a two-run triple to the right field fence with two outs in the next frame to give the Tigers a decisive 4-0 advantage.

“It’s been tough since I’ve been hitting balls right to people, but finally they’re starting to drop,” Johnson said. “Usually we’ll have one thing go well but not another. But everything was clicking for us, and if we can keep playing like this through the rest of the season, I think we’ll fare pretty good coming up. This was a big confidence boost for us. I really love how we’re all brothers and although I’m a transfer student, they really made me feel welcomed.”

West took the lead in the second when Ben Rogina led off with a double, Johnson followed with his bunt single and Tino Garfias reached on an error that allowed two runs to score. An inning later, Nick Gulliford (2 for 4) got a leadoff infield hit, was sacrificed over by Dylan Loftis,

and Adam Scharf (two RBIs) was hit by a pitch before Johnson got his big triple.

The Tigers went up, 5-0, in the fourth inning when Joey Keigher reached on an infield hit, Gulliford added a two-out single, and Loftis followed with an RBI single. West added two more runs in the sixth as Dylan Suca was hit by a pitch, Keigher bunted and reached on an error, and Loftis walked before Scharf drove in a pair with a two-out single.

Central, which received a 2-for-3 effort from Ryan King, advanced six runners into scoring position but finished with three inning-ending double plays.

“We didn’t really help ourselves out considering that we took a lot of fastballs right down the middle and didn’t swing the bats,” Steelmen coach Kevin Fitzgerald said. “I’m not mad that we lost, but I’m mad about the way that we played. Right now, I’m pretty upset since that’s not who we are. Hopefully we can learn from this and come back.”

PREP BASEBALL: PLAINFIELD SOUTH 1, PLAINFIELD NORTH 0

Cougars take pitchers’ duel, sweep series from Tigers

By DICK GOSS

dgoss@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Both sides played errorless baseball.

Both turned in excellent defensive plays, in particular Plainfield South shortstop Nick Mayerhofer and Plainfield North right fielder Connor Peplow.

The Southwest Prairie Conference duel Thursday between South senior right-hander Austin Marozas and North junior right-hander Brady Miller was a beauty. But as North coach John Darlington said, “It’s all good when you win, not when you don’t.”

Darlington’s Tigers (20-8, 9-5) came up on the short end, 1-0, as the Cougars (19-7-1, 11-3), the leaders in the tight SPC race, completed a two-game sweep, having won Monday’s series opener, 7-3.

“It was awesome to be on the mound in this game, with one of the best defenses in the state behind me,” said Marozas (3-2), who threw a three-hitter and struck out five.

Two of the North hits – singles by Alex Steinbach and Peplow – came with one out in the fifth inning, but a flyout

and groundout ended the threat. South had scored its run moments earlier as Nick Enloe hit a sacrifice fly to center field in the bottom of the fourth.

After striking out the side in the sixth and walking nobody through six innings, Marozas struggled with his command in the seventh. He walked Gavin Doyle, and Miller sacrificed.

Steinbach, who was of particular concern to Marozas, popped up to first on the first pitch for the second out.

“I’ve had a tough time with Steinbach,” Marozas said. “The coaches said he was four for his last six against me before that last at-bat. Before that inning, we were going over how we would go after him. Luckily, he hit that milehigh pop-up.”

Marozas then walked Peplow on four pitches before he retired Cameron Kissel on a ground ball to third baseman Trey Stewart, who ranged into the hole to make the play and end the thriller.

“I was a bit tired in the seventh inning, but I wanted to grit it out and get the ‘W’,” Marozas said. “To go two games up on North is awesome.”

“We had chances with guys on sec-

ond and less than two out but couldn’t get the big hit,” Darlington said. “Our kid [Miller] pitched real well. He spotted his pitches and battled.

“It’s tough to lose, but this prepares us for the playoffs. That’s the main thing.”

Marozas said his fastball was his best pitch. “It had good movement with the wind,” he said. “I was able to mix in some sliders and a couple changeups to keep them off balance.”

Miller (3-2) was almost as effective.

He allowed four hits, including two Enloe singles. Stewart doubled in the second and had a potential extra-base hit stolen when Peplow ran a long way and made a diving catch along the rightfield line in the fifth.

Peplow also made a nice catch in the sixth as his feet slipped out from under him and he still was able to snag Mayerhofer’s line shot.

Enloe is a good right fielder in his own right, and he acknowledged Peplow’s efforts.

“I congratulated him after the game,” Enloe said. “I told him ‘nice catches.’

“North is a good team. It was really

good to get both games against them.”

Enloe officially was 2 for 2 at the plate, and his sacrifice fly in fourth was the difference. Miller walked Marco Escobar on seven pitches – the first walk he allowed – to open the inning, and after Mayerhofer bunted, a wild pitch moved Escobar to third, setting the stage for Enloe.

“I wanted to elevate it, make sure I got it to the outfield somewhere,” Enloe said. “I hit a curve. I’ve been hitting them a lot better this year. I didn’t do very well trying to hit them last year.”

“I wish I could have had some pitches back,” Miller said. “That one on the sacrifice fly definitely was one of them.

I hung a curve.”

“It was huge getting that one run,” South coach Phil Bodine said. “Playing North is always tough. But Austin [Marozas] has had his ‘A’ game his last two starts. When he has his ‘A’ game, we can play for one or two runs, and that might be enough.”

Mayerhofer’s glove at shortstop kept North from threatening in the early innings.

“Our defense was great,” Bodine said. “Mayerhofer was really good.”

JOLIET – The baseball teams from Joliet West and Joliet Central kicked off a stretch of three games over the next 12 days on Thursday.

And thanks to a five-hit shutout from Noah Plunge and a 3-for-4 effort from Brett Johnson, the Tigers captured a 7-0 Southwest Prairie Conference win in the opener of that series on the east side.

The Steelmen play at West on Monday, and the squads meet again May 22 back at Central in a first-round game in the Class 4A Lincoln-Way East Regional.

“This was the first time in a few weeks that we put all three phases of the game together, and it was nice to see smiles on these guys’ faces,” Tigers coach John Karczewski said.

“Joliet Central can hit the baseball a ton, and even though Noah didn’t have his best stuff today, he was good enough to get it done.

“We had three double plays, and

that’s a pitcher’s best friend, and Adam Scharf and Dylan Loftis came through in the clutch, and Brett Johnson also had a big day at the plate. I’m happy for these guys, since it seems like it’s finally clicking a little bit.”

Plunge, who won his third game to account for half of the Tigers’ victories, only allowed two hits through five innings and finished with seven strikeouts as he kept Central in check.

“I was able to relax pitching with a lead,” Plunge said. “It’s all about momentum now, so we have to finish out the year strong. It would be a nice thing to make a run in the tournament. I like how the guys keep fighting. If we get a lead, they’re always up, and if we make an error, they don’t hold their heads down. Most of our losses have come from not getting the sticks around, but if we can do that through the end of the year, then we could be pretty dangerous.”

One player who has struggled to get hits to fall this season is Johnson, who entered the day with just 10 to

multiple IHSA regional and sectional championships and earned three consecutive IHSA state finals berths – second place in 2013, third in 2014 and state qualifier in 2015. Twenty Marmion wrestlers were state qualifiers, 15 were named All-State, and five captured individual state championships.

Cumbee hopes to bring that same recipe for success to the Hilltoppers.

“As long as I’ve been in this sport, I’ve known coach Mac [McLaughlin],” he said. “I’m excited to be able to work alongside him to build this program little by little … sustained success by doing things the right way.”

Part of Cumbee’s no-frills, hard-

work attitude stems from a more than 20-year relationship with current Hilltopers football strength coach and area strength training Hall of Famer Francis “Rudy” Ruettiger.

It also makes a transition to JCA easy for Cumbee, who said, “My relationship with Joliet Catholic began in ’96 working out at Rudy’s Gym. I learned about the tradition working alongside other area athletes. To me, Rudy is one of the faces of Joliet Catholic, and is a role model and man I have the utmost respect for.

“There’s a great athletic and academic tradition here, strong alumni support and a family-like atmosphere.”

Tyehimba Jess immortalizes forgotten creators in his works

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

JOLIET – Pulitzer.

Detroit native Tyehimba Jess, 51, glanced at the single-word text message and responded with question marks. And then Jess saw the announcement – a livestream online – that his second book of poetry, “Olio,” had won the 2017 Pulitzer Prize for Poetry.

“That was the beginning of the celebration,” Jess said.

Mark Eleveld, an English teacher at Joliet West High School, also texted Jess. Eleveld said he met Jess about 15 years ago in the slam poetry scene.

They’ve been friends ever since.

On Tuesday, Jess read selections from “Olio,” published by Wave Books in 2016, to about 200 students at Joliet West High School.

Coincidentally, Eleveld brings a poet to Joliet West each year around April or May. As Eleveld was considering who to invite, Jess won the Pulitzer and made that decision easy.

“I texted him right away,” Eleveld said. “I knew he was on sabbatical in Chicago, so transportation wasn’t going to be an issue.”

Mostly, Eleveld felt Jess’ approach to poetry would interest students.

Jess writes historically based poems, especially in regard to slavery and the people who created music from that era.

Jess then selects an individual to research and creates his own art by telling the story in a syncopated sonnet that also is visually interesting to view on the page, Eleveld said.

As Eleveld predicted, Jess wowed the students.

“They mobbed him afterward with their questions,” Eleveld said.

Lea Delattre, 17, who’s striving for a career in journalism, said, “It was very cool seeing someone who won such a high award at our school, especially since I’m planning on majoring in English.”

“He was a very articulate speaker,” Delattre said. “And he had a lot of knowledge on what he was saying.”

Cheyenne Angus, 17, who said she enjoys various types of poetry, said she loved the way Jess structured his poems.

“You can almost start at any point in the poem and it would still make

sense,” Angus said.

Jess wasn’t thinking “Pulitzer” when he began writing poetry at age

15. Topics Jess said he addressed at that time were urban landscapes, living in Detroit, music he liked and his girlfriend.

But Jess won second place in a poetry contest at age 18 with a poem called “The Street,” which Jess is certain his mother still has. For Jess, poetry was “just one of those things I was interested in.”

“For most people that I know who keep doing it, it’s something they have to do, something they’re compelled to do,” Jess said.

Even then, Jess was interested in meshing history with his imagination. He self-published his first book of poetry in 1992, but his second book, “leadbelly,” was traditionally published in 2005.

“I think Wave [Books] is reprinting it right now,” Jess said. “There was a run on the book when the prize was announced.”

Jess’ recent book, “Olio,” explores how African-Americans created various art forms within the backdrop of minstrel shows. Many of the poems are biographies of these people who created in the years between the Civil

War and World War I, Jess said.

And Jess shared some of those inspirational stories of “black folks who have been erased from the history books” with the Joliet West students.

“They’re just interesting people,” Jess said of the individuals featured in the biographies. “They deserve to have their names remembered.”

Even more, Jess feels knowing history helps people understand their place in history. And poetry, besides being fun, can be a lifeline for people trying to determine who they are.

In light of the Pulitzer, Jess is glad he pursued his vision without compromising that vision. He especially enjoys hearing positive comments about his readings from people who thought they didn’t like poetry.

“Poetry is very much alive,” Jess said. “It’s very much a part of our national conversation about who we are and where we come from and where we’re going. There’s a lot to be learned from all of the many poetry books that are being published nowadays.”

Foundation spotlights Joliet music teacher

Joliet native Corey Grant makes a living writing, directing and producing his own movies.

Former Joliet resident carves niche in filmmaking

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

JOLIET – Former Joliet resident Corey Grant is living in Los Angeles, California, and making movies for a living.

His recent release, “Illicit,” is about the dynamics that occur when both a husband and wife are simultaneously having affairs, a topic Grant found intriguing. Usually movies portray either the husband or the wife – most often the husband, Grant said.

“How about both at the same time and see what happens?” Grant said.

Grant studied mass communication at Norfolk State University in Virginia, and he earned his bachelor’s degree in 1999. He then worked for an NBC affiliate, all the while dreaming of studying film at Howard University in Washington, D.C. It was a dream borne from watching science fiction movies during childhood.

“Being a kid, filmmaking was very magical,” Grant said. “I grew up with ‘Star Wars’ and the golden age of filmmaking. It left a lasting effect on me.”

But it was during Joliet West High School drama class that Grant fell in love with directing and scriptwriting, because a teacher insisted her students do both. Grant saw his words come

RESTON, Va. – This past March and April, Give a Note, along with Radio Disney, Radio Disney Country and the Country Music Association Foundation, put a spotlight on the music teachers of six schools across the nation selected for the tour.

With the CMA Foundation matching grants to the six schools, a total of $30,000 was presented to the schools for their music programs.

On April 26, the CMA Foundation honored those teachers by naming them among the 2017 CMA Music Teachers of Excellence in a ceremony in Nashville, Tennessee, that was hosted by CMA Vocal Group of the Year Little Big Town.

CMA Music Teachers of Excellence honors music educators and their indelible effect on students and school communities through the power of music. The local teacher honored was Don Stinson from Joliet Central High School.

Joliet native Corey Grant wrote and directed “Illicit.” A couple finds their marriage tested when they are seduced by sexy young lovers, both with dark pasts and hidden nefarious agendas. “Illicit” stars David Ramsey, Vivica A. Fox, McKinley Freeman and Dean Cain. alive. And he liked it.

Grant finally wound up at Howard University, where he earned his master’s in 2003 and he made his first feature film. He played it at a 2,000-seat theater at the university, charging $10 to $12 a ticket. He sold 1,500 tickets and used that money to rent theaters in various cities and play his movie.

“I didn’t know the ins and outs of Hollywood,” Grant said. “I didn’t know any better.”

He worked as a valet; he worked production and editing on a freelance basis while continuing to make more films.

Grant’s IMDb page said his third film,

“Dysfunctional Friends,” had a theatrical release and did well on DVD and video on demand.

Now a writer, producer and director at New Breed Entertainment, Grant said his 2012 movie, “Bigfoot: The Lost Tapes,” opened even more industry doors for him.

“That was my most popular movie to date, on the cult side of things,” Grant said.

Even though Grant will continue making movies, he’s now ready to go boldly where he has never gone before.

And where is that?

“Television,” Grant said.

Plainfield Central artist earns year’s tuition at Chicago art academy

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

PLAINFIELD – Plainfield Central High School senior Gillian Bambule has been drawing since she was 10 years old.

The 17-year-old started drawing the popular Japanese graphic art anime using traditional mediums such as pencil and watercolors. Today she favors digital art, using the computer to turn Gillian her ideas into art.

Bambule But it was her pencil and watercolor work that netted Bambule one year’s tuition of $31,800 to the American Academy of Art in Chicago.

Bambule was ranked first out of 32 students who won scholarships in the academy’s Senior Scholarship Com-

petition. She was one of only five who earned a full year’s tuition.

Plainfield Central senior Marc Rozanski also won a $15,900 scholarship, and Plainfield South High School senior Sam True won a $7,950 scholarship.

Students had three hours each to draw a figure in black and white and still life in color.

Lindsay Brown, Bambule’s art teacher, said she didn’t know this typically quiet student had entered the competition until Brown got the award notification letter. Bambule has earned other accolades this year for her artwork.

She won an Award of Excellence for her digital drawing in the 2016 Joliet Junior College Area High School Art Exhibition and recently earned several regional honors in the prestigious 2017 Scholastic Art and Writing Awards.

No matter the acidity, plain water the best drink choice

Dear Doctor: We’ve lived in our house for years – and raised three boys on well water.

All have been reasonably healthy. But I recently learned the well water’s pH is 8.5plus. Should we be concerned?

Dear Reader: The pH of water can range from acidic to basic on a scale of 1 to 14, with the pH of pure water at about 7. A pH less than 7 makes the water more acidic, while one greater than 7 makes water more alkaline (basic). The danger of more acidic water – when the pH is less than 6.5 – is it can leach metals from the well and from the pipes that bring you water. These metals include lead, manganese, copper and iron, and they can be toxic in large amounts. So acidic water obviously poses a health risk.

Fortunately, the same is not true of more alkaline water.

There has been no evidence of harm found in drinking water with a pH between 7 and 8.5. (Interesting to note: The pH of human blood is a little on the basic side, 7.365.) When the pH of water becomes greater than 8.5, it can taste more bitter.

This elevated pH also can lead to calcium and magnesium carbonate building up in your pipes. While this higher pH doesn’t pose any health risks, it can cause skin to become dry, itchy and irritated. So, if you or your children are having any skin issues, the pH of your well water could be a reason.

Many companies have advertised the benefits of alkaline water – that is, waters with pH levels greater than 8.5. People who sell such products say alkaline water has benefits in lowering blood sugar, improving

gut health and improving the hydration of extreme athletes. None of this has been well-studied in humans. In addition, our kidneys are the best filtration system in maintaining the acid-base status within our bodies.

Because I can be somewhat obsessive about things, I support knowing the pH of one’s well water, more to protect against excessive acidity than high alkalinity. For people with water pH less than 6.5, I would look at ways to make it more basic. Those with water pH between 6.5 and 8.5 can rest more easily. Even if it is greater than 8.5, the water still probably is safe, but you may want to acidify the water if you are noticing skin problems.

Lastly, whether bottled or from your own well, water still is the best drink choice. We live in a society where the consumption of water is intertwined with the use of sweeteners. This is seen not only in the plethora of sodas we consume, but also in the number of juices, energy drinks, flavored waters and other drinks with chemical sweeteners.

Slightly high pH or not, plain water is the healthiest drink you can choose.

DEAR ABBY When I was in my 20s I chose Jeanne a career whose Phillips long-term effects I hadn’t anticipated. I am charged with telling people they are dying and watching them die on a daily basis. While I know I am good at it, it leaves me emotionally drained.

I manage to muster up enough energy to try to be there for my kids but, frankly, I can’t seem to be there for anyone else, including my wife, co-workers and close family. My problem is, this has left me with no emotional support (my children are too young for that, although playing with them is some help) and there are tough days when I really need it.

Advice? – Alone From My Work Dear Alone: You need a support group.

Many people in the medical field find them to be a helpful outlet. Rather than blame yourself for your inability to “be there” for your co-workers and family, joining a group might help you to relieve some of the stress you are experiencing by talking about it. If you do, I’m sure you will find you are far from alone.

Dear Abby: I’ve been dating a guy for two years. He has his late mom’s wedding rings.

He always said he would use them if he ever proposed to anyone. Well, he proposed to me last week. Last night he informed me he had let his ex-girlfriend of 10 years wear the rings because she loved jewelry. It made me sick to my stomach, and made his proposal not mean anything to me. I told him it would be like me giving him my ex-husband’s wedding band to wear. He doesn’t understand because he didn’t propose to her, but to me that’s beside the point.

They were on her hand. I told him he should have given me the option of wearing the rings or having him buy my own set. Am I out of line feeling the way I do? – Tarnished In Tennessee Dear Tarnished: I don’t think so. To say this “guy” lacks sensitivity would be an understatement. Are you sure you actually want to spend the rest of your life with someone so clueless?

When he allowed his ex-girlfriend to wear his mother’s wedding rings “because she loved jewelry” rather than because they were planning to marry, the symbolism of bestowing them vaporized. If you do plan to go through with it, “suggest” he buy you ones or use the stones from his mother’s rings in a different setting for a ring you will enjoy wearing rather than feeling like Secondhand Rose (third-hand, actually).

Dear Abby: My son is graduating this year.

To celebrate, I would like to have dinner at a restaurant with a group of friends (adults) and their children. However, I’d like them to pay for their own meals. How do I address an invitation to such a get-together? – Not A Free Dinner Dear Not A Free Dinner: You could put on the invitation this will be a “no host” celebration.

Or, rather than issue a formal written invitation, simply call your friends and describe what you have in mind.

SATURDAY HOROSCOPE

By EUGENIA LAST

Newspaper Enterprise Association TODAY – Learn to use what you have in order to get what you want. How you deal with everyday life will determine your success in the years to come. Pay close attention to detail and less attention to surpassing others. The only competition you face comes from yourself.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – A day trip or weekend getaway will help you find some inner peace. Consider taking a hike in the woods or a walk through an art gallery, or connecting with someone you love.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Relationships are highlighted and should be your top priority. Address

concerns you have with a friend, sibling, parent or loved one if you want to find a workable solution.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Try to help others in a positive way. Offer suggestions and oversee what transpires, but don’t take the workload on all by yourself. Be a leader, not a martyr.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Engage in discussions that can bring about change. Your part in building a brighter future in your community will make a difference to your environment and future.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Look at what you can do to improve your home environment and financial and emotional outlook. Making positive, affordable changes will ease stress and encourage better relationships with loved ones.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – If you talk about your

prospects, you will come up with a good way to move forward with your personal endeavors.

A change will do you good and help you make better choices.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Getting together with a loved one, friends or relatives will convince you that you need to alter the way you do things. Consider what you find stimulating and head in that direction.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Don’t limit what you can do because you are afraid to speak up. Communication is your ticket to bring about positive change. Being accommodating is honorable, but not realistic.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Keep life simple, affordable and moderate, and refuse to let

anyone entice you to get into things that could dismantle your long-term financial or personal plans. Look out for No. 1.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Honesty will be the best way to get things done regarding the changes you want to make in your life. Mix old and new ideas.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Problems while traveling or discussing personal or money matters will arise. Make sure you have all your documents in order before you take on institutions, government agencies or authority figures.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Explore new possibilities. Attend a trade show or take a brief vacation with someone you love. The sights you see and the discussions you have will inspire personal change.

Dan Quayle said, “We are ready for any unforeseen event that may or may not occur.”

At the bridge table, unforeseen events happen. Look at the North hand in the diagram. Your partner opens two clubs, and the next player overcalls two diamonds. What would you do?

Despite the anticipation that, because of the prevailing vulnerability, East will not carry the auction to a high level, it looks like a good opportunity to bid two spades. How bad can it be to get your six-card suit into the auction?

Well, on this deal from Bridge Base Online, it resulted in North’s ending in six spades. At three tables, the clever East led the heart queen.

West ruffed and cashed the club ace.

At two other tables, North made the slam after a diamond lead by reading the distribution perfectly. Do you see how?

Some Norths passed to let partner describe his hand. When South rebid two no-trump, North transferred into spades, then control-bid four diamonds. This resulted in six spades by South at three tables. Each West led the club ace, giving declarer an easy ride.

After a diamond lead, however, declarer must endplay West in clubs.

Declarer discards a heart and wins with the diamond ace. He draws trumps, throws another heart on the diamond king, ruffs a diamond, cashes the heart ace, crosses to the heart king and ruffs the last diamond. Then he plays a club to his king. West wins with the ace and is endplayed. If he returns a low club, declarer runs it to the 10. Or, if West leads a diamond, it concedes a ruff-and-sluff.
