THE HERALD–NEWS JOLIET – A preliminary agreement was reached overnight Friday for a three-year contract for nurses at Presence Saint Joseph Medical Center, said to Chris Martin, a spokesman for the Illinois Nurses Association.

If the tenative contract is approved by a majority of the 850 nurses, it will help avoid a strike, which the union had authorized with a 529 to 89 vote on Wednesday.

“The contract talks were positive and constructive, and both sides expressed a commitment to work together to create an agreement that was fair to both parties,” Pat Meade, RN, said in the statement. Meade is one of the nurses on the negotiating committee.

“This TA means the nurses’ concerns were heard and the staffing issues were

resolved in a manner that will serve patients well. Nurses will eternally provide, at all costs, efforts or hardship, an environment where safe nursing care is the order of day.”

The previous contract was set to expire Saturday. Negotiations had continued Friday with a federal mediator.

The INA said the agreement “makes progress on staffing issues and wage equity the nurses fought for” and includes mechanism to resolve future challenges with staffing levels and wage equity.

The INA represents more than 800 nurses at Presence Saint Joseph.

Issues at stake were both pay and work duties, with INA contending that hospital administration wants to cut costs by having nurses do housekeeping and patient transport duties.

The union has said it wants increases in pay to compensate experienced

nurses who at times are making less than newly hired nurses brought into the hospital at higher rates of pay.

Administration officials said those incidents are isolated, and have offered to resolve the pay discrepancies where the incidents occurred.

Nurses wanted pay increases that the union says total 20 percent during the course of a three-year contract.

Hospital administrators have said the nurses’ proposal amounts to a 23 percent increase. They have offered a two-year contract with increases of 2.5 percent and 2 percent.

Martin said previously that any strike would have been limited to three days at most.

In a previous news release, the union said that nurses in 1993 conducted a 61day strike at the hospital over wages and working conditions.

Future City Center Partnership board yet to be determined

By BOB OKON

bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The City Center Partnership is taking names of potential board members from new areas added to the partnership, its chairman said last week.

The City Center Partnership board has yet to be expanded to include representatives from the new business corridors on Cass, Collins and South Chicago streets.

Those business districts were added by the city council in December and are now being assessed the same property tax used downtown to fund the partnership.

Those interested in joining the board can contact the City Center Partnership, Chairman Bryan Kopman said last week.

Kopman discussed the future board makeup at a meeting of the Joliet City

Council Economic Development Committee. The committee on Thursday gave its approval to a memorandum of understanding that outlines the relationship between partnership and city of Joliet, which levies the business property tax for the group.

Councilmembers Pat Mudron and Terry Morris asked whether the board was taking on any members from the Cass, Collins and South Chicago Street corridors.

“That’s our next step,” Kopman said.

“Our next step is to start drafting some bylaws for what the organization is going to look like.”

Kopman said the partnership would take on new members after the bylaws are drafted.

“We want something for them to look at and start from there,” he said.

Kopman said he has not heard from anyone from the new corridors interested in joining the board, but a few have

WHERE IT’S AT

contacted Steve Jones, the city’s economic development director.

Morris said he has been approached by a couple of people interested in joining the board.

Kopman said anyone interested could also come to the board meetings, which are 8 a.m. on the second Thursday of each month.

City Center Partnership board members, according to the current rules, must own property in the downtown area, manage a business there, work there, or be an elected official representing the area.

The memorandum of understanding includes a provision that would expand board membership to as many as two members from outside the district that have special expertise needed by the board.

The memorandum of understanding requires final approval by the full city council.

A YEAR OF FUNDING FUTILITY

Social services declining across Illinois; Joliet mayor among those noticing

By BOB OKON

bokon@shawmedia.com

and MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com JOLIET – It’s that time of year when the state government does not pass a budget, a new routine that has become the focus of constituents who head to Springfield.

Social service agencies are closing group homes. Meals on Wheels has been slowed down. The city of Joliet is looking for ways to fill the gap created by the vacuum in state spending.

Everyone talks about the budget, but no one in the state capital has managed to do anything about it for three years. With the state fiscal year coming to a close at the end of June, this year still looks a lot like the past two.

“The first item on the agenda, of course, was the budget,” said Mary Jaworski, president of the Joliet Region Chamber of Commerce and Industry. Jaworski was referring to the chamber’s annual drive-down to

Springfield last week.

The trip included meetings with Gov. Bruce Rauner, House Speaker Michael Madigan, Senate Leader John Cullerton and House Republican Leader Jim Durkin.

“We talked about the budget 80 percent of the time,” Jaworski said.

It didn’t used to be that way on the chamber visits to Springfield leaders, she said.

Jaworski and chamber Vice President Mike Paone both said they got the sense that the opposite sides are not as firmly entrenched as in the past two years.

“The catchphrase is degrees apart,” Paone said.

In the meantime, however, chamber nonprofit members who provide social services are struggling, he said.

“Some of these agencies are not only hit hard, they’re on the verge,” Paone said, suggesting the future of some agencies is in question. “We’ve heard from a great number of them that they’ve already had to reduce services and have had to turn clients away.”

Group homes closing

Cornerstone Services, a Joliet-based agency that has contracts with the state to provide services for people with disabilities, has started closing group homes because it does not have the money to staff them.

“Just this past month,we closed a group home where four women lived for 20 years,” Cornerstone CEO Ben Stortz said. “We just can’t staff our homes. We’re kind of consolidating and contracting. Later this year, we have plans to close three more homes.”

Cornerstone has 42 group homes now.

The homes provide services for people with disabilities who otherwise might be living in a state institution. The state pays Cornerstone to provide the service, which provides a preferable living environment for the clients.

But Cornerstone has a 22 percent vacancy rate in staffing because it can’t keep workers at the wages it’s able to pay, Stortz said. He testified last week at a Senate appropriations

hearing for a bill that would add $330 million in funding to increase wages for direct-care workers, who on average make $9.35 an hour.

“They get the issue,” Stortz said.

“I think the typical response is Democrats say they want to do it. Republicans say they want to do it, but in the context of a balanced budget.”

The expectation, he said, is that the bill will be passed by the Democratic Legislature, be vetoed by the governor, and not get enough votes to override the veto.

Stortz said he heard nothing in Springfield last week to persuade him to change plans for closing more group homes.

Seniors signing up for Meals on Wheels for the first time are waiting longer to qualify for the program, said Barry Kolanowski, executive director of Senior Services of Will County.

“How we’re managing this whole process is just cutting back on staff,” Kolanowski said.

The Joliet-based agency has kept

Attorneys in Providence lawsuit seek settlement Family suing New Lenox Catholic school over student’s expulsion

By FELIX SARVER

fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Attorneys in a lawsuit case over the expulsion of a Providence Catholic High School student for a racist song are hoping for a settlement.

A former Providence freshmen and his father are suing school officials and the Diocese of Joliet, alleging the student was wrongfully expelled in March over an incident where he played a racist song at a black student.

They seek to reinstate the student at school or receive $4,600 for tuition in paid costs and $1 million for damages

to the father and son’s reputation, emotional distress and public criticism.

The father and son – who are named John Doe and John Doe 2 in the lawsuit – allege the son was removed without a meaningful disciplinary hearing, the song was arguably criticizing racism and that his expulsion on March 17 was a “political response” to a WGN-TV story on the incident, which led Tianna Waits, the mother of the black student, to pull her son out of school.

The parents of the son declined to disclose their name or their son’s name Friday, saying their son has faced threats.

Steven Glink, their attorney, and Maureen Harton, the diocese’s attorney, met in court Friday over a scheduling conflict in the case, as a hearing was supposed to be held on Monday but Harton had another hearing in Kankakee County that day.

Will County Judge John Anderson held a settlement conference between the two parties. After the conference, Glink said the parties are seeking a resolution to the case with Anderson’s assistance and that hopefully there will be a settlement.

The case is scheduled to continue for status on May 25.

In an email statement, Edward Flavin, the diocese’s communications director, stated that the matter has been continued to May 25 for status on settlement. Questions directed to Harton about the allegations of the complaint or the settlement were not answered.

Glink declined to comment when asked about what his clients were hoping to receive out of the settlement.

The former student’s attorney filed a temporary restraining order to reinstate him in school, alleging losing out his entire freshman year will adverse-

‘Salute to the Blue’ parade held Saturday to honor law local enforcement officers

By ALEX ORTIZ

aortiz@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Hundreds of people walked the streets of downtown Joliet on Saturday for the inaugural “Salute to the Blue” parade to honor over a dozen police departments in Will County.

“It’s been great,” Joliet Police Chief Brian Benton said. “There’s been a lot of support throughout all of the businesses downtown and through especially the Joliet community.”

The parade passed along Chicago Street and then down Jefferson Street and ended up at Joliet Slammers Stadium for a free concert inside. The parade happened to fall right before the start of National Peace Officers Memorial Week, which is May 14 through 20.

Benton and Joliet Mayor Bob O’Dekirk also acknowledged that part of the reason for the parade was due to the recent climate stemming from criticism of law enforcement and its treatment of communities of color. The Black Lives Matter movement gained national attention in 2014 after the shooting death of Ferguson, Missouri, teenager Michael Brown by police officer Darren Wilson.

The movement calls for systemic reform of law enforcement and has highlighted a number of other high-profile police shootings of African-Americans.

Alex Ortiz – aortiz@shawmedia.com

Onlookers enjoy the “Salute to the Blue” parade held in downtown Joliet on Saturday to honor local law enforcement.

But some at the event wanted to show their support for police officers and highlight the positive contributions that benefit the community. Tom Glisson, a police officer at Joliet Junior College, came out with his wife and two children to cheer on the parade and enjoy the festivities.

His car donned the “Blue Lives Matter” flag, which is basically the Ameri-

can flag except that it is mostly black and white with the exception of one blue stripe across the middle. The blue represents the “thin blue line” and what law enforcement officers face on the job.

“We gotta show support for the community and for us,” Glisson said. “It helps. It brings a good, positive thing to me.”

ly impact a wrestling scholarship and that an online completion of a degree discussed between the parties would be educationally inadequate.

Before the settlement conference, Harton said she did not have a chance to speak with Providence officials on the case yet and that the school is undergoing its busiest time of the year with various events, such as graduation. She recommended May 25 or May 26 as dates for hearing.

She also said classes will end May 18.

“The train has basically left the station. … The whole school can’t be put on hold (over this),” Harton said.

Glink said the student was being deprived of his education and that he could not wait on school officials’ response.

“My client’s education is more important than that,” he said.

Braidwood police harassment case closed

By BRIAN STANLEY

bstanley@shawmedia.com BRAIDWOOD – Federal investigators have dismissed a harassment complaint against the Braidwood police chief and the city.

Deputy Police Chief Michelle Soucie had filed charges in March with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission that Chief Nick Ficarello subjected her to sexual harassment and disability-related comments.

“When (the city) became aware of the sexual harassment, I was subjected to further harassment and suspension,” Soucie wrote in the complaint.

Michelle Soucie has been a Braidwood officer since 1998 and was named deputy chief soon after Ficarello was hired in April 2015.

According to the complaint, the discrimination took place through Jan. 17. According to Ficarello, Soucie was put on paid leave in January after a theft allegation.

“I believe this (complaint) was made in retaliation for the ongoing criminal investigation,” Ficarello said. “As a law enforcement official for almost four decades, I’m disappointed another sworn officer would use such deceitful tactics in an effort for personal enrichment.”

On April 20, the EEOC closed its file on the discrimination case.

Millie Rowe takes time to answer questions

By BRIAN STANLEY

bstanley@shawmedia.com Emergency dispatcher Millie Rowe was recently named Telecommunicator of the Year by both the City of Joliet and Will County. She has been a dispatcher for 24 years.

Stanley: What brought you to Joliet and a dispatching career?

Rowe: I’m from Chicago. I just applied for the job since (Joliet had) affordable housing. I didn’t know the city. I had no clue what it was like here. I came in for the testing when I first saw the room – which was in the city hall building at the time – and watched them work. I was in total awe. They knew all this stuff.

Stanley: Was shift work an adjustment for you?

Rowe: I worked midnights for my first 13 years. I slept from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. and you always feel like you’re “off” a day. I’d have breakfast in the afternoon. Vacations can (affect) that.

Joliet eyes tax incentive for new roofing supplier

By BOB OKON

bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The city is looking at $300,000 in sales tax incentives to bring a roofing and building supplies company to town. A city council committee approved the incentive package after discussing whether it would give an advantage to a new company competing with roofing businesses already in Joliet.

The owners of the prospective Joliet location told city officials last week that Texas-based SRS Distribution wants to move to its 1806 Terry Drive property.

The site needs about $300,000 in improvements for drainage and other problems, said Tom Osterberger, a Joliet attorney who is part owner of the property with Gene Briscoe.

SRS would move into a 27,000-squarefoot building on the site. Osterberger said that the improvements funded by the tax break are outside the building.

He said the company expects to do about $6 million in sales in its first year of business, as well as that it would pay sales taxes to the city.

The Joliet City Council Economic De-

velopment Committee on Thursday authorized staff to negotiate an incentive package for improvements of the property that would rebate half of the city sales taxes for seven years up to $300,000.

Councilman Terry Morris questioned whether the city was giving an incentive to attract a company that would compete with businesses already in the city.

“It’s not like this is new tax money.

We have other suppliers for the roofers here,” he said. “It’s not like this is a new product that we’re getting into Joliet.”

Economic Development Director Steve Jones said the incentive would be used to improve the property but would not give SRS a pricing advantage.

“They’re not lowering the price of shingles because they’re getting money from the city,” Jones said. “If somebody’s losing business in town, it’s because they’re not competing in the marketplace. It’s not because the city’s putting its thumb on the scale.”

Morris joined other committee members in voting, 3-0, to direct Jones to develop an incentive agreement, which could come back to the city council for approval by June 6.

The exhibit also will have handson activities, games such as Game of Bones, Dinopardy, Dino Feud and Are You Smarter Than A Paleontologist?

Kids also can experience a dinosaur dissection lab, dino dig boxes and an excavation site.

“It’s really an engaging experience,” said Andre Copeland, Brookfield Zoo’s interpretive programs manager.

He said there may be opportunities for people to touch some living dragons, such as the frilled dragon and the bearded dragon.

This isn’t the first time the zoo has had animatronics, but “Dinos & Dragons” focuses on the connection between dinosaurs and mythology, Copeland said.

“We want people to use their critical thinking skills to think about early paleontologists who may have described what an animal looked like based on one or two bones that could have led to the myths about dragons and other mythical creatures,” he said.

Copeland said a lot of early paleontologists’ drawings resemble dragons of mythology, so the zoo wanted people

Residents tour limestone structures in Joliet “People appreciate the history.

They see building types that no longer are being built. The buildings are re-used. There’s definitely a purpose for them.”

By ALEX ORTIZ

aortiz@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The Joliet Area Historical Museum and the Joliet Historic Preservation Commission held a tour of four historic limestone structures Saturday for about 100 residents.

This was the first time a tour was held in at least 20 years, said Sharon Merwin, one of the commissioners of the preservation commission. Because May is Historic Preservation Month, she and her partners wanted a community activity.

“People appreciate the history,” Merwin said. “They see building types that no longer are being built. The buildings are re-used. There’s definitely a purpose for them. It’s not just, ‘Oh, let’s repurpose them,’ and then they’re going to sit there.”

The four sites included the Frederick Sehring Mansion, the All Saints Greek Orthodox Church, Joliet Central High School and the Auditorium Building, which now has businesses and condominiums. The residents were able to hear about the history of each structure and what renovations and remodeling is happening.

Some on the tour, such as Joliet resident Pat Fisher, were appreciative of the investments being made into the histori-

“We’re interested in what they’re doing with the buildings now,” Fisher said.

cluded learning about the Frederick Sehring Mansion being renovated to serve as the future home of Bridgeport Winery next year. The All Saints Greek Orthodox Church’s Rev. Stephen Bithos told the story of the parish’s efforts to get steel for the building in 1943 during World War II.

Steel was used almost exclusively for the war effort, but the church managed to obtain some steel that originally was intended for Wrigley Field in Chicago.

Many of the residents either attended or had children attend Joliet Central and were amazed to see what the building is like now. Joliet Central gives tours over the summer to the public.

Greg Peerbolte, executive director of the Joliet Area Historical Museum and co-organizer of the tour, said he was genuinely surprised but also encouraged to see the interest from residents.

“It’ll be great to have 20 or 30 people,” Peerbolte said. “That’d be a huge win for us. Like 115 calls later, here we are. It’s incredible. It shows you that people take the history of Joliet very seriously.”

Joliet YMCA receives donated grave from former CEO’s family

By ALEX ORTIZ

aortiz@shawmedia.com The family of the former CEO of the Joliet YMCA donated an empty grave plot to the YMCA to help fund its many programs.

Clarence Lenz ran the YMCA from 1953 to 1974. He died in 1987 and was cremated. His wife, Marian, died in 2015 and was buried with her husband’s ashes in the same grave.

Marian lived to be 93 and continually expressed support for the YMCA through donations, even when she temporarily moved away from the Joliet area.

The YMCA also remained close with her, giving her flowers for her birthday every year. When she died, the family had one empty plot remaining and decided to donate it to the YMCA. Although the YMCA was unsure of how to handle the donation, it learned that graves often are donated for inter-

ment or sold to someone looking for a plot.

The YMCA decided to sell the plot on the open market to fund its memberships, sports programs, summer camp and daycare. Last year, the YMCA used about $1.1 million to help support about 8,000 people using many of those programs.

“We’re hoping that we can turn this into an experience that can impact someone’s life,” said Julie Wilkinson, the Greater Joliet Area YMCA development director.

The plot’s sale could help pay for the equivalent of summer camp for two to three children, she said. The gift is special, she said, because it’s coming from a family with close ties to the local YMCA. “In a way, it’s kind of extending their legacy,” Wilkinson said.

Those interested in buying the plot at Woodlawn Memorial Park II Cemetery in Joliet can call Wilkinson at 815-7820825.

‘March to Springfield’ visits Joliet

By BOB OKON

bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A “March to Springfield” is coming through Joliet on Wednesday.

The march, organized by a group called Fair Economy Illinois, will start walking from the Thompson Center in Chicago at noon Monday with plans to reach Springfield on May 30, a day before the legislative session ends.

On Wednesday, marchers will organize a meeting described as a listening session from 7 to 9 p.m. at Senior Services of Will County, 251 N. Center St.

The marchers say they have a politically progressive agenda, supporting a progressive income tax, higher taxes on corporations and universal health care.

Kristi Sanford, spokeswoman for the march, said the march is nonpartisan.

“The purpose of the march is to present a hopeful message for our state,” she said. “The state has been poorly run and underinvested since before (Governor) Bruce Rauner.”

The march will continue Thursday morning from Joliet.

Kane inmate shot after hospital hostage situation

By BRITTANY KEEPERMAN

The Illinois State Police are investigating the incident.

Tywon Salters, 21, of Chicago had been at the hospital receiving treatment since May 8. He had been held at the jail on charges of possession of a stolen motor vehicle, police said.

The incident began on the third floor of the hospital in Salters’ room. Salters disarmed the officer and took a nurse hostage. The nurse got away; however, police declined to say how.

Salters then took a second nurse hostage in a different location on the third floor and proceeded downstairs to the emergency room area, Kane County

bkeeperman@shawmedia.com GENEVA – An officer was shot and a Kane County inmate is dead after a hostage situation Saturday at Northwestern Medicine Delnor Hospital in Geneva.

About 1 p.m. Saturday, an inmate from the Kane County Jail who was being treated at the hospital disarmed a corrections officer and took two nurses hostage. After an hours-long standoff, a police SWAT team broke in and fatally shot the man.

A police officer was shot during the incident as well. He was wearing protective gear and has since been released from treatment.

Tywon Salters, 21, of Chicago had been at Delnor Hospital in Geneva receiving treatment since May 8. He was shot by police Saturday after taking a hospital employee hostage.

• STATE FUNDING

O’Dekirk last week said the city is not necessarily looking at funding agencies that are not getting their money from the state. He has asked the City Council Diversity and Community Relations Committee headed

by Councilwoman Bettye Gavin to delve into the problem.

O’Dekirk said he has become convinced that the state budget stalemate is reaching a critical point for some social service agencies.

“If other units of government don’t do anything,” he said, “some of these organizations are going to cut services or close shop.”

Continued from page 3 up services, but it takes longer to get to clients because staff has shrunk with the slowdown in state funds. Seniors must be checked out to ensure they qualify for Meals on Wheels and other services the agency provides, and Senior Services has fewer caseworkers to meet with clients.

“Their caseloads are as high as 500 people that they have to deal with,” Kolanowski said. “We have a waiting list of people just waiting to get a service. That list got as high as 400 last fall.”

Talking business

Meanwhile, Illinois Partners for Human Service has taken a different approach since it came into existence eight years ago. The organization, which Executive Director Judith Gethner described as “an advocacy umbrella that represents human services throughout Illinois,” was built to bring together the entire human services sector to educate and promote policies that benefit human services and ultimately, society as a whole.

The nonprofit operates on private donations and does not seek government funding. But because of the

Other options

Joliet Mayor Bob O’Dekirk earlier this month told the City Council that the city may have to step in to avoid losing social service agencies that are not getting funding due from the state.

“It’s not our problem, but it’s become our problem,” O’Dekirk told the council.

O’Dekirk said he became aware of how serious the situation is after meeting with staff at the Spanish Community Center.

The big problem is money.

state’s budget turmoil, much of the group’s work is done with the lack of a state budget in mind, and the unpredictable nature of state funding of human services organizations hanging overhead.

“Because we have no government funding, that’s why we’re able to do the work we do,” Gethner said. “We can advocate and say things that government-funded nonprofits cannot.

Because we’re independent completely, we do our own fundraising from foundations and we are really able to be the voice of human services.”

IPHS is big on “human infrastructure,” which speaks to business folks with numbers and data. The idea is that one way or another businesses, and people in general, will wind up paying for having poor human services in the long run, often far more than they would if they support the services upfront with donations or grants.

“Our biggest concern should be the business community,” Gethner said.

“They need to care. If this human infrastructure exists in their communities, and there aren’t places for child care or senior care, their employees will be hindered. There will be a high rate of turnover and absenteeism.”

As Gethner put it, if someone has to call off work to take care of their child or grandparent because human services have depleted, that’s bad for business.

If a family wants to relocate in Illinois for a job, but chooses not to because their prospective community doesn’t have proper services available for their autistic child, that’s bad for business, too.

Gethner explained that businesses are affected by consumers who have to weigh wants and needs in times of crisis. She said if someone’s job is to provide domestic violence services, but they’re out of work because of a lack of state funding, the economy suffers as that person will consume less.

“If you’re not working, you’re not consuming,” Gethner said. “We need to articulate in business terms the return on investment for what we do as nonprofits.”

It will cost taxpayers more in the long run to not properly fund mental health groups and services, she said.

“If a person is not treated for a mental illness, they can go to the emergency room, end up homeless, get picked up by the police, wind up in jail – or worse – and that costs [the state] a lot more tax money,” Gethner said.

Continued from page 22 State’s Attorney Joe McMahon said.

Restraints were present in Salters’ room, but it’s unclear whether they were used, McMahon said.

The SWAT team tried to negotiate with Salters over the telephone for several hours, but eventually, communications broke down, which is when a decision was made to break into the room to rescue the hostage,

police said. The incident ended about 4 p.m.

Kim Waterman, media relations specialist for Northwestern Medicine, said the hospital is extremely grateful for the police response and ability to keep employees and patients safe.

She said that the hospital has policies and training in place for emergency situations such as these.

“We do a lot of training for incidents like this,” she said. “We work closely with our partners in law enforcement, so we are prepared.”

American Writers Museum to open Tuesday

By HILLEL ITALIE

The Associated Press CHICAGO – The American Writers Museum, seven years in the making, is an endeavor even the most daring author might shy from: How, on a single floor of an office building, do you tell the story of centuries of American language?

The museum’s curators wanted the broadest possible concept of writing, one that includes not just novels, memoirs and poetry, but screenplays, journalism, rap lyrics, advertising slogans and even stand-up comedy. Prince and Tupac Shakur are represented along with Harper Lee and Thomas Jefferson.

Homes and institutions throughout the country are dedicated to individual authors, whether the Mark Twain House & Museum in Hartford, Connecticut, or the National Steinbeck Center in Salinas, California. But this museum, opening Tuesday in Chicago, is the first to attempt a comprehensive portrait.

Chicago, centrally located and associated with great American writers such as Carl Sandburg, Nelson Algren and James T. Farrell, was deemed the ideal setting.

The museum, 11,000 square feet on the second floor of a Michigan Avenue office building between a Citibank and a noodle shop, doesn’t have marble floors or grand archways. The layout is bright and intimate, perfect for school trips and family outings.

Along with colorful banners, time-

The “Word Waterfall” cycles through one of several displays of literary history with quotes from authors Monday at the American Writers Museum in Chicago. lines, placards and a word “waterfall,” there are interactive games and activities. Trivia contests ask questions such as which book begins with “Ships at a distance have every man’s wish on board” (Zora Neale Hurston’s “Their Eyes Were Watching God”) or who coined the term “factoid” (Norman Mailer)?

One area allows visitors to create their own stories, with writing pads, a manual typewriter and a bulletin board to post the results. The museum also has a “Readers Hall” with bookcases offering such selections as “To Kill a Mocking-

bird,” the poems of Elizabeth Bishop and the screenplay to Billy Wilder’s classic “Sunset Boulevard.” Wall displays summarize everything from the “evolution” of bookstores to “Voices of Dissent.”

Relying mostly on private funding, the American Writers Museum was conceived in 2010 by Malcolm O’Hagan, former CEO of a manufacturing trade organization who was inspired by the Dublin Writers Museum in Ireland.

“The goal is to tell the story, and stories, of the American contribution to human literary expression,” said Max

Rudy Nino and Sam Nino. Also his wonderful grandchildren, cousins, and many friends.

Nino was a die-hard White Sox and Cowboys fan. He loved to laugh, make others laugh and would go out of his way to help everyone. Nino was a hardworking and dedicated husband to his loving wife of 54 years and a friend to many.

Nino was cremated in accordance to his wishes. The Nino family invites relatives and friends to gather for a memorial service at Delgado Funeral Chapel, 400 Landau Ave (at Jackson St. Rt6) in Joliet on Monday, May 15, 2017 for a celebration of his life at 5:00 p.m.

Prayer service will be officiated by Pastor Fidel Nino Jr.

Rudin, a member of the museum’s content leadership team and publisher of the Library of America, which issues hardcover editions of classic American writings. “And [we seek] to do it in ways that capture the energy of our uniquely democratic literary culture in all its diversity and sometimes even its eccentricity.”

“When people think of writers and writing, you think novels, and that can kind of come off as stale,” said the museum’s director of operations, Christopher Burrow. “So we wanted to make it modern, interactive, and bring the past to the present and inspire the next generation of writers.”

A “Writer’s Room” provides a showcase for an individual book or author, starting with Jack Kerouac’s “On the Road” and its working manuscript, the extraordinary 120-foot scroll he would unfurl before startled publishers. A passageway near the museum’s entrance slips you into the hushed, tropical atmosphere of poet W.S. Merwin’s home in Hawaii, an installation/greenhouse complete with live palms and audio recordings of Merwin’s poetry.

“His home is on the side of a hill, surrounded by palms, and sometimes when you’re in the house you barely know whether it’s sunny outside,” said Merwin’s stepson, the author-screenwriter John Burnham Schwartz, who has visited the museum. “He loves the feeling of being completely enveloped, and I think they’ve captured that feeling well here.”

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS N. Korea test-fires missile, into one of the world’s most challenging leader in South important Catholic shrines.

SEOUL, South Korea – North Korea on Sunday test-launched a ballistic missile that flew as far as 500 miles before landing in the Sea of Japan, the South Korean, Japanese and U.S. militaries said. The launch is a direct challenge to the new South Korean president elected four days ago and comes as U.S., Japanese and European militaries gather for joint war games in the Pacific.

It wasn’t immediately clear what type of ballistic missile was launched, although the U.S. Pacific Command said that “the flight is not consistent with an intercontinental ballistic missile.”

Outside militaries will closely analyze what the North fired.

While Pyongyang regularly tests shorter-range missiles, it also is working to master the technology needed to field nuclear-tipped missiles that can reach the U.S. mainland.

Pope makes 2 Portuguese shepherd children saints

FATIMA, Portugal – Pope Francis added two Portuguese shepherd children to the roster of Catholic saints Saturday, honoring young siblings whose reported visions of the Virgin Mary 100 years ago turned the Portuguese farm town of Fatima

Francis proclaimed Francisco and Jacinta Marto saints at the start of Mass marking the centenary of their visions. A half-million people watched in the vast square in front of the shrine’s basilica, the Vatican said, citing Portuguese authorities. Many had spent days at Fatima in prayer, reciting rosaries before a statue of the Madonna. They clapped as soon as Francis read the proclamation aloud.

Activists: Kurdish-led forces advance on IS-held Raqqa

BEIRUT – Syrian Kurdish-led forces were closing in Saturday on the de-facto capital of the Islamic State group in Syria, seizing a cotton mill only a couple of miles north of the city and clashing with the militant group on a number of fronts, activists and Kurdish media reported.

The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces, backed by U.S-led coalition airstrikes, advanced as they clashed with the militants in a multi-pronged offensive northeast and northwest of the city.

The offensive brings the SDF 2.5 miles from the northeast of the city, the Observatory said.

Global cyberattack seeks cash for data

By SYLVIA HUI, ALLEN G. BREED and JIM HEINTZ The Associated Press

LONDON – A global “ransomware” cyberattack, unprecedented in scale, had technicians scrambling to restore Britain’s crippled hospital network Saturday and secure the computers that run factories, banks, government agencies and transport systems in many other nations.

The worldwide effort to extort cash from computer users spread so widely that Microsoft quickly changed its policy, making security fixes available for free for the older Windows systems still used by millions of individuals and smaller businesses.

A malware tracking map showed “WannaCry” infections popping up around the world. Britain canceled or delayed treatments for thousands of patients, even people with cancer. Train systems were hit in Germany and Russia, and phone companies in Madrid and Moscow. Renault’s futuristic assembly line in Slovenia, where rows of robots weld car bodies together, was stopped cold.

In Brazil, the social security system had to disconnect its computers and cancel public access. The state-owned oil company Petrobras and Brazil’s Foreign Ministry also disconnected computers as a precautionary measure, and court systems went down, too.

Britain’s home secretary said one in five of 248 National Health Service groups had been hit. Home Secretary Amber Rudd said all but six of the NHS trusts back to normal Saturday.

The U.K.’s National Cyber Security Center was “working round the clock” to restore vital health services, while urging people to update security software fixes, run anti-virus software and back up their data elsewhere.

Who perpetrated this wave of attacks remains unknown.

A display panel shows an error Friday at the main railway station in Chemnitz, Germany. Germany’s national railway said that it was among the organizations affected by the global cyberattack, but there was no effect on train services.

Two security firms – Kaspersky Lab and Avast – said they identified the malicious software in more than 70 countries. Both said Russia was hit hardest.

These hackers “have caused enormous amounts of disruption – probably the biggest ransomware cyberattack in history,” said Graham Cluley, a veteran of the anti-virus industry in Oxford, England.

And all this may be just a taste of what’s coming, another cyber security expert warned.

Computer users worldwide – and everyone else who depends on them – should assume that the next big “ransomware” attack has already been launched, and just hasn’t manifested itself yet, Ori Eisen, who founded the Trusona cybersecurity firm in Scottsdale, Arizona, told The Associated Press.

The attack held hospitals and other entities hostage by freezing computers, encrypting data and demanding money through online bitcoin payments. But it appears to be “low-level” stuff, Eisen said Saturday, given the amount of ransom demanded – $300 at first, rising to $600 before it destroys files hours later. He said the same thing could be done to crucial infrastructure, such as nuclear power plants, dams or railway systems.

“This is child’s play, what happened. This is not the seri-

ous stuff yet. What if the same thing happened to 10 nuclear power plants, and they would shut down all the electricity to the grid? What if the same exact thing happened to a water dam or to a bridge?” he asked.

“Today, it happened to 10,000 computers,” Eisen said.

“There’s no barrier to do it tomorrow to 100 million computers.”

This is already believed to be the biggest online extortion attack ever recorded, disrupting services in nations as diverse as the U.S., Ukraine, Brazil, Spain and India. Europol, the European Union’s police agency, said the onslaught was at “an unprecedented level and will require a complex international investigation to identify the culprits.”

In Russia, government agencies insisted that all attacks had been resolved. Russian Interior Ministry, which runs the national police, said the problem had been “localized” with no information compromised.

Russia’s health ministry said its attacks were “effectively repelled.”

The ransomware exploits a vulnerability in Microsoft Windows that was purportedly identified by the U.S. National Security Agency for its own intelligence-gathering purposes. Hackers said they stole the tools from the NSA and dumped them on the internet.

Trump: ‘Fast decision’ possible on FBI director

By SADIE GURMAN and DARLENE SUPERVILLE The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump said Saturday that “we can make a fast decision” on a new FBI director, possibly by late next week, before he leaves on his first foreign trip since taking office.

“Even that is possible,” Trump told reporters when asked whether he could announce his nominee by Friday, when he is scheduled to leave for the Mideast and Europe.

Eight candidates to be the bureau’s director were in line Saturday for the first interviews with Attorney General Jeff Sessions and his deputy, Rod Rosenstein, at Justice Department headquarters. They are among more than a dozen candidates Trump is considering, a group that includes several lawmakers, attorneys and law enforcement officials.

“I think the process is going to go quickly. Almost all of them are very well-known,” Trump said aboard the plane that took him to Lynchburg, Virginia, where he gave the commencement address at Liberty University.

“They’ve been vetted over their lifetime essentially, but very well-known, highly respected, really talented people. And that’s what we want for the FBI.” The Trump administration is looking to fill the job, which requires Senate confirmation, after Trump abruptly fired Director James Comey on Tuesday.

The first candidate to arrive was Alice Fisher, a high-ranking Justice Department official in the George W. Bush administration.

Among those interviewed was Adam Lee, special agent in charge of the FBI’s Richmond, Virginia, office.

Acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe also interviewed for the permanent post despite his repeated willingness to break from White House explanations of Comey’s ouster and its characterizations of the Russia investigation.

Also interviewed Saturday were Michael J. Garcia, a former prosecutor and associate judge on New York’s highest court; GOP Sen. John Cornyn, the No. 2 Senate leader and a former Texas attorney general; and U.S. District Judge Henry E. Hudson, a George W. Bush appointee who struck down the centerpiece of the Obama administration’s health care law in 2010.

Frances Townsend, former homeland security and counterterrorism adviser to President George W. Bush, and former Michigan Rep. Mike Rogers also met with Justice officials.

Rogers came endorsed by the FBI Agents Association, which said his diverse background makes him the best choice for the job. He is the former chairman of the House Intelligence Committee who also worked as an FBI special agent based in Chicago in the 1990s.

Fisher and Townsend were the only women on the list of candidates. The FBI has never had a female director.

Each has worked in high-profile positions in the Justice Department.

Fisher formerly served as assistant attorney general for the Justice Department’s Criminal Division. She faced resistance from Democrats during her confirmation over her alleged participation in discussions about detention policies at the Guantanamo Bay facility in Cuba.

Dear Mr. Berko: We are in our early 50s, and our account is worth $708,000.

We haven’t added any more money, and it’s nearly doubled in value in 11 years, and we thought we were on the right road, but we recently realized that the stock market has done much better.

So we talked to our stockbroker, who’s been honest in dealing with us.

We want to be more aggressive rather than own the bland but good stocks he buys for us. He reluctantly suggested that we invest $5,000 in each of the following drug stocks: Mallinckrodt, Accelerate Diagnostics, Globus Medical, Zoetis and SciClone Pharmaceuticals.

My wife and I would appreciate your thoughts on each issue. – JL, Portland, Oregon Dear JL: I suspect that some of your

friends have been bragging about how well they’ve done in the stock market since Donald Trump was elected.

Those steady-Eddie stocks have given you a comfortable 6.8 percent average annual return in the past 11 years.

That’s acceptable. If you won’t stay the course, that road could have some sharp turns, and the midden could hit the windmill. Still, I’ve little objection to owning 100 shares of each of those five companies.

I can’t pronounce Mallinckrodt (MNK-$45), which has $4 billion in

Its recent acquisition of Stratatech, a maker of human skin graft products, should prove valuable. Stratatech dovetails with MNK’s strategy of investing in under-resourced therapies so they can reach full potential. Buy it.

Accelerate Diagnostics (AXDX-$28) is a $250,000-revenue in vitro diagnostics company providing solutions to bring about extremely rapid diagnoses of serious infections. The increase in resistance to antibiotics because of misuse and overuse is among the most serious health threats of our time. And sadly, too many diagnostic results can take several days to complete.

AXDX’s recently patented platform technology addresses these challenges. It delivers accurate results from tests of infectious pathogens, which usually take days to complete in a lab, in a matter of minutes or hours, while the patient is still on the operating

BUSINESS BRIEF ExxonMobil donated $1.6M in 2016 in matching gifts to Illinois universities

ExxonMobil and its employees contributed more than $1.6 million to institutions of higher education across Illinois as part of the ExxonMobil Foundation’s 2016 Educational Matching Gift Program.

ExxonMobil employees, retirees, directors and surviving spouses contributed $427,000 to 37 Illinois colleges and universities, which was matched by $1.2 million in unrestricted grants from the ExxonMobil Foundation. Although grants are unrestricted, colleges and universities are encouraged to designate a portion to math and science programs supporting student engagement.

ExxonMobil’s program matches donor pledges on a 3:1 basis up to $7,500 to qualified colleges and universities in the United States, as well as the American Indian College Fund, Hispanic Scholarship Fund and the United Negro College Fund.

table. Revenues and earnings are expected to soar. Buy it.

Globus Medical (GMED-$31) is a medical device company focusing on the design, development and commercialization of products that promote healing in patients with spine disorders. This $565 million-revenue company, formed in 2003, came public at $15 a share in 2013. GMED is a highly regarded medical engineering company that has launched more than 100 products, addressing a broad array of spinal pathologies in response to the evolving needs of surgeons and patients.

Earnings may grow by 10 to 12 percent annually, and I’d be surprised if, in the next few years, a larger competitor failed to seek GMED’s hand in marriage. Buy it.

Zoetis (ZTS-$59), which I’m also having trouble pronouncing, is a 2013 spin-off from Pfizer. ZTS is a $4.9 billion-revenue company, and 50 percent of revenues occur in the U.S. It’s a mover and shaker in the discovery, manufacture and commercialization of medicines and vaccines for livestock and companion animals.

Management focuses on five major categories: anti-infectives, parasiticides, vaccines, medicated feed additives and pharmaceuticals. And a Harvard chemist I know swears that

many of ZTS’ pharmaceuticals can be safely used by humans, at a cost that’s about 70 percent less than the identical drugs prescribed by your physician. Zoetis may have the hallmarks of a great dividend growth stock. Buy it.

SciClone Pharmaceuticals (SCLN$9.75) is a $160 million-revenue pharmaceutical company with an impressive portfolio of therapies for infectious diseases, cardiovascular disorders and oncology patients.

Though based in California, SCLN has a corporate strategy that is primarily focused on China, where SCLN has an excellent reputation, strong brand recognition and years of experience.

SCLN has zero long-term debt, plenty of cash, growing revenues, improving operating margins and net profit of 20 cents for each dollar of sales.

Thomson Reuters and Standard & Poor’s Capital IQ have “outperform” ratings on the stock, but I did notice that the company’s president and CEO, Friedhelm Blobel, sold 501,000 shares in August and then another 436,000 shares between October and March. Perhaps he knows something your broker doesn’t.

Judge refers Uber theft allegations to U.S. Attorney

By TOM KRISHNA

The Associated Press DETROIT – Allegations that Uber has been using self-driving car technology stolen from Google has been referred by a federal judge to the U.S. Attorney’s office for a potential criminal investigation.

U.S. District Judge William Alsup in San Francisco made the referral in an order posted Thursday night as he ruled on several motions in a lawsuit against Uber

by Waymo, which is Google parent Alphabet Inc.’s autonomous car unit.

“This case is referred to the United States Attorney for investigation of possible theft of trade secrets based on the evidentiary record supplied thus far concerning plaintiff Waymo LLC’s claims for trade secret misappropriation,” Alsup wrote in the order.

“The court takes no position on

whether a prosecution is or is not warranted, a decision entirely up to the United States Attorney.”

Neither Uber nor Waymo would comment specifically on the judge’s referral Thursday night.

The high-stakes corporate espionage case revolves around Waymo’s allegations that Uber’s work on self-driving cars has been riding on trade secrets stolen by a former Google engineer, Anthony Levandowski.

Waymo contends that before leaving Google early last year, Levandowski downloaded 14,000 documents containing details about a navigational tool called Lidar that robotic cars need to see what’s around them.

Waymo has alleged in its lawsuit that Levandowski and Uber conspired to create a sham self-driving truck startup called Otto as a prelude to a $680 million deal for Uber to buy Otto and get the desperately needed technology.

After Uber bought Otto, Levandowski took over oversight of Uber’s self-driving car division.

He stepped down from the role earlier this month until Waymo’s lawsuit is resolved.

Uber has vehemently denied using Waymo’s ideas, maintaining that its Lidar system is radically different.

Meanwhile, Levandowski has refused to turn over his personal laptop or answer most other questions posed by Waymo’s lawyers while asserting his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination.

Also Thursday, Alsup issued a ruling on Waymo’s request for an order to stop Uber’s work on autonomous vehicles while the lawsuit is decided, but the ruling was temporarily sealed because it contained confidential information.

A case synopsis said the judge granted part of Waymo’s request but also denied part.

OPINIONS ANOTHER VIEW

Democrats offer no fix for ACA

After fits and starts, the U.S. House of Representatives has advanced legislation substantially altering and rolling back the Affordable Care Act. Democrats wail that widespread devastation awaits. Yet Democrats ignore the fact that Obamacare is collapsing and lives are going to be disrupted no matter what.

Insurers are already announcing huge rate increases or warning of withdrawal from Obamacare exchanges. Recent regulatory filings in Virginia and Maryland revealed several insurers are seeking major increases for 2018 Affordable Care Act exchange plans. Anthem Inc. is seeking an average premium increase of 37.7 percent in Virginia. CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield filed for a 52 percent increase in Maryland and a 35 percent increase in Virginia. Cigna Corp. is requesting a 44.7 percent increase for Virginia exchange plans, and 37 percent in Maryland. And officials at Cigna and Anthem both indicate they may still pull out of the Virginia exchanges altogether.

Virginia and Maryland have earlier filing deadlines than many states and highlight the dramatic premium increases likely to come nationwide.

Officials with the insurer Medica have announced they may withdraw from Iowa’s exchange next year. Aetna plans to leave Virginia’s exchange in 2018. In February, Humana announced it is withdrawing from all state exchanges.

Medica’s announcement could mean Iowa natives will have no insurance providers in that state’s exchange after Aetna and Wellmark Blue Cross & Blue Shield both announced their exits earlier this year.

Oklahoma is among the states with a shaky Obamacare exchange, as noted by U.S. Rep. Frank Lucas, R-Cheyenne, in a release touting his support for the House repeal measure.

“Several states, including Oklahoma, are down to only one insurance provider on their state exchange and health premiums continue to rise at a staggering rate,” Lucas said.

Even when people can find and afford Obamacare coverage offered through a state exchange, the ACA’s many mandates have forced insurers to dramatically restrict provider networks and impose large deductibles to control costs. The result is that even when people get coverage they can still struggle to pay for health care or access the best doctors.

In addition to exchanges, the ACA also increased coverage by adding millions to Medicaid, the state-federal welfare program. But Medicaid pays providers well below market rates. As a result, the best doctors don’t take Medicaid patients or at least limit those numbers.

And several states that expanded Medicaid have since struggled with paying the state share of dramatically rising costs associated with the program.

For several years, Democrats decried ACA opponents who did not offer an alternative plan. Now House Republicans have advanced one and the script has been flipped. It’s now incumbent on Democrats to explain how they would overhaul and reform Obamacare in a fiscally prudent fashion, because those who refuse to support reform are turning a blind eye to the chaos and hardship that is already underway and growing by the day.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Problems at Essington Place

To the Editor: The residents of Essington Place, Joliet, have been very upset lately at what’s going on at their retirement home. This is their home, they say, and they pay a great deal in rent to live here.

However, the head corporate management seem to be playing fast and loose with their lives by providing cold, impersonal management skills, and those that are warm, friendly, compassionate and with empathy are consistently removed.

Those who have lived here for at least three to four years and some up to 9 years have seen the changes that are ongoing through the years.

It seems to be that the managers that all the residents love and respect are taken abruptly away from them and in return those that are not fit to be managers are put in their place.

The residents do not feel that this is a corporate institution nor a medical center where impersonal management is the standard in practices, but rather a home for those in their Golden Years.

The residents prefer to feel that their managers are part of “the family” since this is supposed to be a “community setting” instead of a nursing home where medical needs are more

important than compassion and empathy.

Also, transparency is necessary since most of the residents here are able to conduct themselves and have good memory skills.

Therefore, dignity is the upmost in the standard of care for the residents here at Essington Place.

We implore the new corporate owners, regional director and managers to hear our voices because the residents do not want to see their home destroyed.

We wish to retain the present co-manager, Donald Weiland, who has been with the residents for approximately two years, and he is loved by all.

Sincerely, Mary White

President Trump is costing us, by the day

To the Editor: We have a president who said he wouldn’t take his presidential salary. We don’t yet know if he has kept that promise or if he already has blown through his presidential expense account.

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

What we do know is he goes to his club in Florida every other weekend at a cost of $2,500,000.

As of mid-March, that was $10 million and rising. At that rate, for four years, it would be 104 trips for at least a quarter billion dollars.

For now, the first lady is staying in their penthouse in New York City. A very conservative estimate is about a $1 million per day. That’s a third of a billion each year.

His proposed budget cuts back on school breakfasts, health care for the poor, and many other costs he says our country can’t afford.

Somewhere I think our billionaire president has lost touch with how the people who elected him survive on their salaries. Is he still thinking “me, me, me” and not what he can do for the country?

MIDLIFE CIRCUS Bill Wimbiscus had to do it. And, back then, that somebody was always – and usually only – Mom. Disposable diapers weren’t really an option. They were primitive in those days and tended to leak copiously, at least according to my mother. Of course, with so many mouths to feed, most parents couldn’t afford them anyway.

And since baby wipes didn’t come into vogue until the 1980s, I’m not sure what they used for, uh, wiping material in those days. Though I’m pretty sure I don’t want to know.

When my mom wasn’t busy changing diapers, she was busy emptying them. Or putting them in the diaper pail. Or taking them out of the pail and washing them. Or hanging them out to dry. A process she repeated just about every day.

When not dealing with our output systems, she was busy dealing with our input systems, making breakfast, lunch and supper, coaxing us to eat when we wouldn’t, preventing us from eating what we shouldn’t and generally setting herself up for yet another round of diaper duties.

About the only time she wasn’t busy was when we all finally went to sleep. It was then, and only then, that

What to do with the Joliet prison

To the Editor: What to do with the old Joliet prison?

It’s a large property that requires upkeep that costs considerable money.

Some of it has interest as a historical site such as the parts used in the “Blues Brothers” movie, the towers, a section of wall, the pond used to quarry limestone but much of it does not have tourism potential.

Perhaps an outdoor park for curiosity-seekers on a hiking or biking trail, sell the rest off for development, perhaps declare some of the buildings as historic landmarks.

There are a lot of limestone blocks that could be repurposed. Driving by it really looks creepy now.

she could kick off her shoes and relax … for about five minutes. Because, after that, she had to get ready for her job as an overnight nurse at the local hospital. After work, she’d come home, sleep for a couple hours and then do it all over again.

So when it came time to spawn the next generation, my wife and I opted to hold the line at just a couple kids.

Not surprisingly, we ended up having three, which translated to roughly a seven-year sentence in the diaper mines. Less than six months of which was spent using – ugh – cloth diapers.

That was in the 1980s. Disposable diapers still were considered a luxury then, but a necessary luxury as far as I was concerned.

Though, of course, it was my wife who got stuck holding the diaper bag.

Sara handled most of the changing and cleaning (baby wipes had finally become a reality by then, thank God) while I, mercifully, got to go to work.

After our third was born, she ended up going back to work, too. Overnight, like my mom did. Then, she came home, slept a couple hours and … well, you know the drill.

As a result, when it was my daughter’s turn to pick up the birth baton, she and her husband weren’t thinking about going much beyond their first baby … which turned out to be twin girls.

Since both parents work day jobs, much of the weekday diaper duties for the last couple years have been

handled by their daycare provider.

At least until a few weeks ago, when their provider broke her hip and was forced into sudden retirement.

Which is why every Monday and Friday, and often times the night before, I am now their daycare provider, with all the rights, duties and privileges associated with that position. Plus, a big bag stuffed with various ointments, creams, lotions, wipes and something called pull-up pants.

That’s because the weekend before I took over daycare duties, my daughter decided it would be a good time to start potty-training.

Pull-up pants work just like disposable diapers, except they cost way more and the girls are only supposed to wear them when they sleep. At all other times, they’re supposed to wear something they proudly call “big girl underpants.”

Big girl underpants are kind of like walking on a high wire without a safety net. They work great as long as you get your big girls to the potty chair in time. Or until one has to go before you finish with the other. Or they forget to hold. Or you forget to check.

Guess that’s why they call it child-rearing.

I was born in the late 1950s, the third of six siblings. Nowadays, having a half dozen kids would be considered extreme. Back then, it was run-of-the-mill.

Maybe it had something to do with living during the baby boom which, though in its final contractions, was still going strong.

Maybe it had something to do with living in a mostly Catholic town of 5,600, with four churches of different ethnicities each cranking out two Masses a day.

Maybe it had something to do with living a block away from the Irish church, though in fact my family is only one-eighth or one-sixteenth Irish, depending on who you ask.

However, apparently, that’s more than enough.

Still, big families were the norm back then. Most of my friends had at least four or five siblings, some as many as six or seven. Growing up, I knew only one only child. I think his parents were considered to be a bit odd by the other moms and dads of my generation.

With so many kids underfoot, child-rearing was a full-time job. My mom had up to three kids in diapers for more than a decade. Cloth diapers. The old-school kind, the ones you had to fold like a demented origami stork, and then somehow spike in place with safety pins without eviscerating the baby.

It was a dirty job, but somebody

After the Eagles took a 3-2 lead into halftime, East finally forced its first tie when Andrew Brozovic (three goals) got the only third-period score on a goal with 4:40 left.

Ryan Murphy connected 45 seconds into the fourth quarter and Jason Parkinson tallied off a pass from Jake Abercrombie with 3:18 left to give the Griffins a two-goal lead.

Mike Rzeszowicz (two goals) put one past keeper Shawn Shields with 2:04 remaining to make it interesting but Brozovic got to a loose ball in front and fired one past goalie Nick Jackson with 1:20 left to secure the Griffin victory.

“You can never underestimate Sandburg,” said Brozovic, one of eight returners from the 2016 state team.

Central (29-4), which features several players who were at East the past few seasons, meets Mother McAuley in the quarterfinals at Stevenson in Lincolnshire at 8:15 p.m. Thursday.

The Griffins finished with a 25-7 record.

“The girls just never give up,” Knights coach Pam Dettman said.

“They have the greatest attitudes in the world when they’re behind. They all step up, it’s not just one person, all of them have each other’s backs and they encourage each other.

“If you ask the girls what their best experience has been, a few of them will say the merge since they’ve found a new family. They have been beyond amazing with it, and it speaks volumes about the character that they have.”

On May 5, the Knights trailed the Griffins, 11-7, with three minutes left but scored the final five goals to pull out a 12-11 win. On Saturday, Central found itself in an equally bad spot, going into the final 90 seconds trailing, 10-8, the first time that either side led by two goals. Making matters worse for the Knights was that they had gone 7:37 without scoring.

But Howe, who was on Central’s 2015 state team, connected with 1:21 left and then McCabe (five goals), a

“We’ve worked so hard for this and I feel like we deserve this,” McCabe said. “There were a lot of emotions going around but thankfully we were able to pull it out. Every time we played them we were able to pull it out through our hard work. It was a great team effort and we were all there for each other. I really have to thank our coaches since they made sure that we were close and that we were able to

pull this out. They’ve been awesome.”

With 18 seconds remaining, Cales tossed in her only goal to put Central ahead. The Griffins tried to force overtime but turned the ball over near the goal just before time expired.

“It was crazy,” Howe said. “We all worked together so well and couldn’t have done it without every single girl on this team. We pumped each other up and were so ready to go and once we got down, we didn’t let that get to us. This is my senior year and I didn’t want this to be my last high school

So it’s crazy that we brought home a sectional championship with all of my brothers.”

After Sandburg’s strong start, the Griffins ended their drought with quick scores from Brozovic and Noah Schor. After that, it was up to Shields and the defense to take over.

One key adjustment saw Lodes move Tom Trojniar into the hole after Jonathan Limp exited on ejections.

Though an offensive player recently, the senior rose to the occasion.

“When our main D-hole got kicked out with three ejections, I got put in and hadn’t played there since last year at North,” Trojniar said. “We have a really good defense and I trust everyone who’s out there. When it’s crunch time, you have to deliver, so that’s what I had to do. It was a big kick being down 2-0, but one by one we worked our way back and got the momentum going.

This is two great teams put together into one to become a powerhouse.” game. It was definitely hard losing girls this year, but we gained some amazing people and we all blended so well together.”

Things were tied at 2 and 5 at the first two breaks and it was 7-all with 3:37 left in the third quarter following a repeating pattern in which the Griffins scored and the Knights responded.

Central took its first lead at 8-7 with 1:58 left in the third when Caroline Heathcock (three goals) scored off a breakaway, but Sarah Jackson (two goals) evened things again with a goal with five seconds left in the period.

The Griffins went up, 9-8, with 4:31 to go when Katelyn Meagher (three goals) put one in off a deflection. Then Meghan Fisher scored with 2:05 left to give East a 10-8 lead. Jordan Bruni also scored twice for the Griffins.

“We knew that it would be close since both teams fought hard in every match that we’ve had,” East coach Kendra Will said. “I am so proud of my girls since they did not give up.

We knew that we couldn’t slow down, since that’s what happened in our last game.

“We didn’t do that this time, we played hard, but unfortunately they hit some big shots from outside. It was almost like a repeat of last year’s sectional final. I’m very proud of all of the Lincoln-Ways that despite the merging, the kids really embraced the change.”

NEW LENOX – Saturday’s Lincoln-Way Central Sectional finals had trouble written all over it for Lincoln-Way East’s boys water polo team.

In order for the Griffins to earn a second straight trip to the IHSA finals, they not only had to beat Sandburg for a third time, but also hand 38-year veteran coach Jim Caliendo, one of the state’s all-time wins leaders in the sport, the final defeat of his great career.

And as if coach Ryan Lodes’ Griffins needed any more adversity, the Eagles jumped out to a 3-0 lead just 8:14 into the contest to provide them with plenty of confidence.

But East responded with a tremendous defensive effort of its own, keeping Sandburg scoreless during a 17:42 stretch over the final three periods, and even though it struggled through one of its worst offensive efforts, it scored enough to claim a 6-4 victory.

The Griffins (26-3) will meet host Stevenson in the quarterfinals in Lincolnshire at 7 p.m. Friday. The Eagles finished with a 26-7 mark. Lodes, who led East’s girls to state in 2014, becomes one of the few coaches to take both a boys and a girls team to the state finals.

“This just shows what a great career coach Caliendo has had since his kids are always ready to play on this day,” Lodes said. “They were fantastic and were one of the few teams to hold us to six goals this year. But in the end, our kids were able to outswim them and able to outwork them on a couple of plays and they also did a fantastic job.

“Defense was just on today. The officials did a fantastic job of keeping the game clean and keeping guys in at the end. Our guys put a lot of work in during the offseason in club and it shows. They’re so competitive with one another but also make fun of each other, so it’s a nice atmosphere to be around. And I also think that it pushes

40 COLLEGE BASEBALL: NJCAA REGION IV DIVISION III TOURNAMENT

Wolves’ season ends against DuPage

By DICK GOSS

dgoss@shawmedia.com JOLIET – When Cole Thompson launched a solo home run to left-center field with one out in the top of the fourth inning, the Joliet Junior College baseball team took a 3-2 lead over DuPage in an elimination game of the Region IV Division III Tournament at Wayne L. King Jr. Field.

But if the homer was supposed to put the momentum in the Wolves’ corner Saturday afternoon, it did not work out. The Chaparrels scored twice in the bottom of the fourth, four in the fifth, one in the sixth and finished an 11-3 victory with two in the seventh to advance to Sunday’s finals against unbeaten Elgin, which held off DuPage, 11-8, earlier Saturday afternoon.

DuPage, the No. 3 seed, must beat No. 4 Elgin twice Sunday to advance to next weekend’s district tournament.

JJC (27-24-1), the No. 2 seed, lost to DuPage, 7-3, Friday but stayed alive Saturday morning with a 6-4 elimination

victory over No. 1 Waubonsee, which had dropped a 10-0 decision to Elgin on Friday.

“I’m happy with the way we competed today,” JJC coach Wayne King said after the Wolves were ousted. “We had so many injuries and are playing so many freshmen – that’s not an excuse, just reality – and we did not play the way we are capable of playing. We didn’t hit the ball well enough to compete in this kind of environment. We’re a little thin right now, but the most we had, we gave.

“This was a tournament where the seeds didn’t matter, with 3 and 4 playing [Sunday]. Elgin is the 4 and is looking like the strongest team.”

Sophomore left-hander Nick Evola pitched 72/3 innings against Waubonsie to pick up the Wolves’ only victory in the tournament, and Nick Clemmons retired the last four hitters – the final two on strikeouts – for the save.

“I absolutely would have liked to stay in the game when I got taken out – what pitcher wouldn’t,” Evola

said. “But I trust coach King and his decision. It worked out well. My pitch count was up there, which it probably was every week.”

The Waubonsee brother act, Samyr and Ivan Santos, both lofted shots beyond the left-field fence. But the wind blowing from the south helped push them foul.

“It’s a good thing those hooked,” Evola said. “That would have changed the score, the momentum. I was watching them the first couple seconds, then it seemed like I was watching forever.”

Thompson, who caught both ends of the doubleheader, said, “My heart dropped when both of those were hit.

It’s a good thing they were slicing off, the wind was blowing them foul.”

Thompson delivered a two-run single in the sixth inning to put JJC ahead to stay, 4-2. Jake Poch singled in another run later in the inning. Waubonsie got two in the eighth, but Clemmons relieved and shut the door.

The Wolves added an insurance run in the ninth on Andrew Rodriguez’s

third single to account for the 6-4 final.

Josh Tesch chipped in two of JJC’s nine hits and drove in a run, and Luke DeBenedetti had a run-scoring double.

In the loss to DuPage, Marcus Stewart lifted a sacrifice fly in the first inning and DeBenedetti hit a sacrifice fly behind Tesch’s leadoff triple in the second. Thompson put the Wolves ahead – but only briefly – with his solo homer in the fourth.

“That’s the way baseball goes,” Thompson said. “It comes down to pitching and defense. It’s a game of momentum, and they had momentum.”

Indeed, DuPage scored eight runs in the final five innings of its loss to Elgin and 11 in seven innings against the Wolves, who managed five hits in being ousted.

In JJC’s 7-3 loss to DuPage on Friday, the Chaparrels had only three hits but received nine walks and three batters were hit by pitches, all in a threerun fourth inning and two with the bases loaded. Rob Blissitt had three of JJC’s six hits.

PREP BASEBALL: WILMINGTON 7, COAL CITY 4

Jones’ walkoff home run lifts Wildcats over Coalers

By DICK GOSS

dgoss@shawmedia.com WILMINGTON – Twice in the later innings of Friday’s Interstate Eight Conference baseball game between old rivals Coal City and Wilmington, the Wildcats needed a big two-out hit.

Twice, they got it.

That’s how you beat a rival on your Senior Night. That’s how you beat a team that came in riding a 15-game winning streak.

The sequel to the two-out heroics was not bad, either. Wilmington junior Josh Jones, who entered the game in the fourth inning and played right field before taking over on the mound for Garrett Roth in the seventh, slammed a 2-1 fastball from Coal City reliever Justin Dabulskis with one out in the bottom of the eighth over the left-field field for a three-run, walkoff home run as the Wildcats scored a wild 7-4 victory.

“It was right there,” Jones said with a shrug. “Every hitter has his pitch, and that one was mine. I was just trying to put the ball in play, but when I hit it, I thought it would go out.”

Jones made a winner of, well, Jones.

He relieved Roth in a 2-2 game after

Coalers pinch-hitter Kaleb Spreitzer singled leading off the seventh. Spreitzer advanced to second on an error and to third on a wild pitch before scoring on Jake Brnca’s opposite-field single to left.

With two outs, Auston Friddle extended the lead for Coal City (24-6, 13-2) to 4-2 with an RBI single up the middle.

Coalers sophomore left-hander Keegan Gagliardo matched Roth throughout. He also delivered a sacrifice fly in the fourth inning for a 1-0 lead.

“Their kid, Roth, is pretty tough,” Coal City coach Jerry McDowell said.

“We’ve seen him before. He mixes his pitches well.

“Keegan [Gagliardo] pitched well for us. He’s not overpowering, but he competes. The big thing for us today was we didn’t the ball very well. We had some strikeouts and some lazy swings.”

With Coal City nursing its 1-0 lead in the bottom of the fifth, RJ Van Duyne, hitting in the 2-hole for Wilmington (14-9, 9-7), blasted a two-out, two-run double to deep right-center field, scoring Brett McWilliams and Conner Dempsay, both of whom had reached on two-out singles.

Coal City evened it at 2 in the sixth

with the help of three Wilmington errors. The Wildcats threatened to regain the lead in the bottom of the inning when Sam Jones led off with a long double. He was on third with one out but was caught in a rundown when a squeeze attempt failed.

After the Coalers took a 4-2 lead in the seventh, the Wildcats retaliated in the bottom of the inning. They loaded the bases with one out against Gagliardo, and Dabulskis relieved.

The lefty appeared to be escaping when he struck out Van Duyne – who earlier had a walk and two hits – on a high breaking ball for the second out.

That brought up sophomore shortstop Mark Youngquist, and he delivered the game-tying, two-run single to left-center. McWilliams, who was on with his second straight hit, slid home with the tying run, just ahead of an excellent throw from Brnca in center field.

“I was looking for a fastball away,” Youngquist said. “The ump was calling that the whole game. Instead I got a fastball up in the zone and got jammed a bit. Baseball is crazy. You never know what’s going to happen next.”

“It was huge for Mark to get his ball in play,” Jones said. “I think that was the biggest hit of the game.”

In the Wilmington eighth, a Brock Bolser double to left and an intentional walk set the stage for Jones’ second home run of the season.

“It was back-and-forth the whole time,” Wilmington coach Mike Bushnell said. “Fourteen of the 17 guys on our roster contributed in some way, and to do this against a rival on Senior Night makes it even more memorable.”

Roth allowed six hits in six-plus innings and walked nobody. Jones walked Gagliardo in the top of the seventh before ending the Coalers’ uprising with a strikeout.

“The clutch hits with two outs were big, and we gave up one walk,” Bushnell said. “No free bases, that was key.”

“We have had crazy games this season, and this was another one,” McDowell said, “Usually we’ve been on the other side of it.

“But those clutch two-out hits they got, and then the home run, they hit when it mattered. You tip your cap to them.”

The two rivals will meet again Monday in a nonconference game. Wilmington begins Class 2A regional play later this week while Coal City will host a 3A regional next week.

game,” she said. “He had kidney failure and had to have both legs amputated.

But I could tell him how the game went, and he knew me so well that he could tell me what I was probably doing wrong if I didn’t have the best game.

“The wins are harder than the losses right now, sometimes. There have been games where I just want to pick up the phone and talk to him and tell him how great everything was and know he

would be smiling.”

Morris coach Jen Lowery is impressed with how the girls have handled the difficult situation at their young age.

“These two young ladies are very resilient,” she said. “Life is full of trials and tribulations. Their actions following their losses speak tremendously of their character.

“Instead of giving up and not playing the game they love, they faced their in-

ner battle head-on. This time, playing a game in which they spent years bonding with their father, without him in the stands. The option was there to just give it up and not play, but each followed their hearts back to the field and they each play to honor their dad and to play the game they love.”

Both girls also were quick to point out that their families have been a tremendous help in coping with their loss.

Burns’ mother, Sally, and older sister, Sarah, have provided support, as have Trader’s mother, Karri, and older sister, Emily.

“Our families have been great,” Trader said. “Now, with Abby, I feel like I have another sister I can talk to. I knew I could lean on my family and my teammates, but to have one of my teammates who has gone through the same thing – that’s a special bond for us.”

Both have used that special bond to help the Lady Redskins win 21 of its past 27 games this season.

Lowery says that although all the girls on the team get along well and have helped Burns and Trader through their hard times, it’s the shared bond between the two that granted their batteries additional strength.

“It’s nice that these girls have someone who can help,” Lowery said. “You never really get over something like that. You have to learn a different way to live, and that’s hard to do alone. Jerry [Burns] coached most of these girls when they were younger, so they have all been supportive of Abby. They are a great group of girls, and they care about each other beyond the field.

“I think that translates on the field.

They will do anything for each other, and they know and understand that every inning is important, every out is important.”

• Sunday, May 14, 2017

MORRIS – It’s important for every player on a team to have some sort of personal or emotional connection with everyone else. Nowhere in team sports is that connection more important than that of pitcher and catcher.

They are the two players involved in every play of the game and, the team is going to suffer without that connection.

The Morris softball team has a unique demonstration of that this season, but it goes deeper than just players’ personal preference. Pitcher Abby Burns and catcher Rachel Trader share a connection that not many in their age group have: Both recently have lost their fathers.

Burns’ father, Jerry, died in an vehicle accident just after the 2015 season, her sophomore year. Trader lost her father, Chris, to complications from diabetes a little more than eight months ago. Both students were in counseling sessions together at school, and their friendship grew from there.

“The school social worker, Ms. Lee, has a group of kids who have lost parents, that meets for one school period a week,” Burns said. “I met Rachel there.

I knew she was in the softball program, but I had been up on the varsity and she was on the freshman and sophomore teams, so I hadn’t really talked to her that much. Now it’s nice to have someone that really knows what I am going through sometimes.”

Trader agrees with Burns, and also said that it makes their pitcher-catcher bond unique.

“We really became friends through the group sessions,” Trader said. “Now, on the field, it’s good that we are pitcher and catcher. We have to connect well anyway, and this just gives us that something extra that we share.

“If Abby is struggling on the mound, I might be able to go out there and know what she is thinking, maybe more than someone else would. I feel like I can calm her down if she needs it, or motivate her if she needs that.”

Burns said that, in last season, she often would find herself looking to the empty spot behind the backstop where her father typically would watch her games. This year, however, she knows where to find him.

“I know he’s watching,” she said. “I don’t have to look for him. He’s in my heart and always will be.”

Trader, meanwhile, still misses being able to tell her dad about her day.

“There were a lot of times the last few years that he couldn’t make it to a

Wildcats enjoying another special year

By CURT HERRON

cherron@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – After capturing their first regional championship last season, expectations were high for this year’s Plainfield Central baseball team and coach John Rosner’s squad has not disappointed.

A campaign that began with a title in WJOL’s Don Ladas Tournament has unfolded nicely as the Wildcats improved to 21-7 overall and 10-5 in the Southwest Prairie Conference after they claimed a 5-4 home win over Romeoville on Friday in their teacher appreciation game.

Central has clinched its sixth straight campaign with a record of .500-or-better and has compiled its fourth consecutive season of 20 or more wins.

The two streaks are the longest for the program since Don Martin’s squads had 11 straight .500-or-better campaigns from 1978-88 and Arnie Blaylock’s teams recorded 20 or more wins for five consecutive seasons from 1971-75.

With four games left in the regular season, the Wildcats have a good chance of finishing with their best winning percentage since 1982 and also could collect their most victories since a 26-8 effort in 1977 and have a shot at the school-record of 28 wins from 1975.

“If we play defense well and don’t walk guys, then we have a shot to be competitive,” Rosner said. “We’ve been in so many close games that have come down to one run. So I think we’re used to that feeling and hopefully the more we’re in that, the more relaxed we’ll be.

“Our infield is made up of seniors who all played for us last year and we have four senior pitchers who are not going to wow anyone with their velocity, but they throw strikes and challenge guys. If we’re doing that, that’s one of the reasons why we’re 21-7 right now.”

Romeoville went up, 1-0, in the first inning when Tyler Horvath (2 for 4) scored on an error, but that was the only run that it would collect against Wildcats starter Nathan Yusko, who yielded seven hits in 42/3 innings to collect the victory. The Wildcats tied it in the third when Yusko was hit by a pitch and courtesy runner Joey Michaud scored on a passed ball.

“We all play together and if we get down, we stay in the game and know that we can come back,” Plainfield Central player Cameron Cercone said.

“We practice the little things all of the time and that’s mainly what we focus on because that’s what it comes down to in winning ball games. We have a lot of returning players from last year and that helps a lot. It was a great feeling to win regionals and now that we have that

Central got three runs in the fourth when David Ascencio (2 for 3) and Kyle Cockrell led off with singles and scored after a sacrifice bunt by Brandon Callender was thrown away. Callender came in on Rocky Pascente’s grounder to make it 4-1. The Wildcats added a run in the fifth after Nick Heffernan led off with an infield hit and scored on a single by Callender.

“We play as a team and even though we might not be the most talented team, we do the little things, and that’s how we win ball games,” Callender said. “We’ve just kind of carried things over from last year with our confidence and we’re hoping to have another big year in the playoffs. I like how we’re pretty much all best friends. We play that way and do everything for each other, and I think that helps a lot when we’re playing.”

But the Spartans, who also got a 3-for4 effort from Ethan Green, made things interesting by scoring three times in the sixth and getting the potential tying run to third base.

Josh Golibrzuch was hit by a pitch to lead off the frame and then Justin Welch drew a walk. After Zach Swearingen

reached on a fielder’s choice, Zakk Suits (2 for 3) and Fernando Perez singled, with the latter driving in a run and two others scoring on an error. Michaud got a strikeout to end the threat and then retired the side in order in the seventh.

“We gave them some runs and didn’t execute with our bunts, which has been

good all year,” Spartans coach Mike Skroch said. “But I’m happy with how they battled. From where we are to where they are, to play them this tough and come back at the end and make it a much tighter game, I’m very proud of them. We struggled last night and this was a great response.”

Think back to the 2015 Joliet Catholic Academy Hall of Champions induction banquet.

The honorees included Mike Alstott, Liz Tortorello-Nelson and Elmer “Tippy” Madarik, along with former Joliet Catholic classmates and teammates Terry Gannon and Mark Grant, both of whom have excelled as professional sports broadcasters after their playing days ended.

We have seen Grant, who lives in San Diego, somewhat regularly as he returns home each year to serve as the master of ceremonies for the annual JCA Alumni Association’s Hilltopper banquet. From Paul Azinger to Mike Ditka to Len Kasper, Grant’s backand-forth with the guest speaker has helped turn each of the “modern-era” Hilltopper banquets into a success.

A 1981 first-round draft pick of the San Francisco Giants who pitched in the major leagues for several years, Grant has an arsenal full of quips, for example, “Growing old is mandatory, growing up is optional.”

If you know Mark, you know he is a kid at heart. He does color for San Diego Padres telecasts and is a huge favorite with fans of the Padres, who happen to be in Chicago this weekend to play the White Sox. Gannon generally is considered the best basketball player in Joliet Catholic history, yet saying that may sell him short as a baseball player. He was superb, whether at shortstop or on the mound on days Grant did not pitch.

He attended North Carolina State, where he was the sixth man on legendary coach Jim Valvano’s 1983 national championship team. He has worked as a broadcaster for ESPN, ABC, Golf

44 INDYCAR

Bourdais fades as Power cruises at Indy

By TIM CRONIN

Shaw Media correspondent SPEEDWAY, Ind. – Three laps and one corner.

And that was it for Sebastian Bourdais’ crack at the IndyCar Grand Prix on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway road course Saturday. The Honda engine in his Dale Coyne Racing-prepared Dallara failed at the end of his third circuit. He coasted down the front straightaway and onto the escape road – Turn 4 of the oval – soon after he’d passed Alexander Rossi, last year’s Indianapolis 500 winner, for sixth place.

“We were going to try and do our thing and get back with [Juan Pablo] Montoya [in fifth], but the engine failed on the front straight and that was the end of our day,” Bourdais said.

It’s not been a good recent run for Bourdais, who opened the season with a victory at St. Petersburg, Fla. He was caught up in the five-car,

first-lap tangle at Phoenix in the previous race of the series, necessitating major repairs to the chassis. Those were made, and he qualified sixth on Friday.

“It’s tough and disappointing,” Bourdais said. “We had done the job in qualifying and you just wish that we could have capitalized on a strong position.

“You look at the race and you see that there was potential when you see Ryan Hunter-Reay finish third. We had a good car.”

As the first car out, Bourdais ended up last in the field of 22 in a caution-free 85-lap race.

Teammate Ed Jones was barely better, running 19th after needing to avoid spinning Tony Kanaan on the first lap and losing more spots after a botched pit stop.

“It messed up the whole race, really,” Jones said.

In contrast, Will Power had a perfect day.

The Penske Racing ace won his

30th career race and the Indy road course race for the second time in three years by beating Scott Dixon of Ganassi Racing to the checkered flag by 5.2830 seconds.

Ryan Hunter-Reay of Andretti Autosport was third.

Power started on the pole, and aside from yielding the lead to teammate Helio Castroneves twice by pitting before him, was never really challenged, leading 61 laps. That may not translate to success the next two weeks – qualifying for the 101st Indianapolis 500 is next weekend and the big race is May 28 – but Power has every right to hope so.

“A win is good for everyone,” Power said of crew morale.

After the first stint, in which he overcooked his tires, his racecraft was impeccable.

“I pushed my tires way too hard early, and Helio was right on me,” Power said. “At the end, I was very conscious on the gap with Dixon, who was closing. I thought he was really

pushing. Then, boom! He started to go away, and I knew we were in good shape.”

Simon Pagenaud finished fourth but continues to lead the IndyCar standings with 191 points to Scott Dixon’s 181. Power, whose first three finishes were 19th, 13th and 14th, has placed second and first in the last two races and is fifth with 145 points.

Bourdais fell to seventh with 136 points.

AROUND THE BRICKYARD

Bob Kaminsky of Homer Glen finished 14th in Saturday’s Pro Mazda support race after finishing ninth on Friday. Kaminsky’s son Colin, who turns 18 on May 27 and was the backup goalie on Providence Catholic’s state runner-up hockey team, crashed with Dev Gore on the first lap of Saturday’s USF2000 race and was placed 22nd, just ahead of Gore.

He took 12th on Friday. ... Kyle Kaiser won the Indy Lights race, beating Santi Urrutia by 6.4768 seconds.

They’re going to keep getting better, and it really speaks well for the future.”

Each of the young players in Saturday’s game had moments good and bad, with Happ’s first major-league hit being a two-run homer in the seventh inning, a blast to right field that brought the Cubs from 5-1 down to 5-3.

WHITE SOX 5, PADRES 4

Sanchez’s walk-off snaps losing streak at 6

By JOHN JACKSON

The Associated Press CHICAGO – Yolmer Sanchez singled with one out in the bottom of the ninth to score Tyler Saladino and give the White Sox a 5-4 victory over the San Diego Padres on Saturday night, snapping their six-game losing streak.

Saladino went 2 for 3 with two runs scored and Avisail Garcia homered for the Sox. Wil Myers, Manuel Margot and Allen Cordoba all had solo homers for San Diego.

David Robertson (2-0) pitched a scoreless top of the ninth for the win.

Brad Hand (0-3) took the loss.

Saladino started the rally with a lead-off walk. He was sacrificed to second and scored on Sanchez’s single to center – just sliding in under the tag of catcher Austin Hedges.

Margot hit Sox starter Dylan Covey’s first pitch of the game over the

fence in right field for a quick lead. It was the second straight game the Padres homered on the first pitch. Matt Szczur started Friday’s series opener with a blast off Miguel Gonzalez.

The last team to homer on the first pitch in consecutive games was the Cubs on Sept. 19-20 in 2007. Alfonso Soriano hit both homers.

Garcia tied the score with a solo homer to center in the second. The Padres answered in the third with a solo homer from Cordoba for a 2-1 lead.

Trailing, 3-2, the Sox took the lead in the fifth. Kevan Smith singled and Saladino followed with a double.

Leury Garcia tied the score with an RBI groundout. One out later, Melky Cabrera singled to center to give the Sox a 4-3 lead.

That’s where it stayed until the eighth, when Myers tied it with a 433foot blast to left-center after being knocked down on the previous pitch from Tommy Kahnle.

SUBMITTED REPORTS

AVON, Ohio – A 4-0 lead through three innings didn’t prove to be good enough for the Joliet Slammers as Lake Erie rallied to claim a 6-5 Frontier League victory on Saturday.

Rock Shoulders (2 for 4) belted a two-run homer in the first and Edwin Gomez (2 for 3, three RBIs) smacked a two-run blast in the third to give the Slammers the early advantage.

But the hosts scored three runs apiece in the fourth and seventh innings to take a 6-4 lead. Joliet got one run back in the eighth when Gomez singled in Ridge Hoopii-Haslam.

Robert Robbins allowed two unearned runs in his two innings to take the loss.

Of the six runs that Slammers pitchers yielded, half of them were unearned.

The Slammers kicked off their 2017 season on a good note by scoring three runs in the 10th inning to capture a 5-2 Frontier League victory over the Crushers on Friday.

The Slammers tied things at 2 in the top of the fifth and it remained that way until Juan Silva singled in Marc Flores (2 for 5) in the 10th.

Shoulders followed with an RBI double and then Spencer Navin (2 for 5, two RBIs) added a run-scoring single. Gomez also went 2 for 5 for the visitors, who finished with 10 hits.

Joliet used six pitchers, with the final five going 6 1/3 innings during which time they allowed just four hits and no earned runs while striking out seven. Justin Lawrence pitched the ninth to collect the victory.

The three-game, season-opening series at Lake Erie will conclude Sunday afternoon, with Shane Bryant, who was with the Slammers some of last season, getting the ball from manager Jeff Isom.

After an off day Monday, Joliet opens its home season at 7:05 p.m.

Tuesday against Traverse City at Slammers Stadium.

Not only is it opening night, but all tickets are $2. The Slammers are scheduled to start left-hander Joseph Ortiz, who pitched in 32 games out of the bullpen in 2013 with the Texas Rangers.

ST. LOUIS – Joe Maddon had thoughts Saturday.

They included the young lineup he trotted out for what turned out to be a 5-3 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals at Busch Stadium. The game was played before 47,882 fans, the largest gathering in the ballpark’s history.

The Cubs’ lineup included rookie Ian Happ, making his major-league debut, and another rookie, Jeimer Candelario, who was subbing at third base for the reigning MVP, Kris Bryant.

Kyle Schwarber, Albert Almora Jr. and Willson Contreras also gave this lineup an element of youth and inexperience as the Cubs fell back to .500 at 18-18 while the first-place Cardinals improved to 20-15.

“That’s what I’m saying, and this is a World Series team, right?” Maddon said. “That’s my point: Please be patient. Guys are still getting better.

They’re inexperienced. They’re going to look bad sometimes. We’re going to ‘hit young.’ You’ve seen it already with really young at-bats. Chasing pitches over our head, in the dirt. But that’s going to go away. I love it. I ac-

Happ also was involved in another play that had everybody in the Cubs clubhouse talking, and in not-so-nice ways.

In the fifth inning with the Cubs down, 3-1, Happ was on first base with one out when Anthony Rizzo grounded back to pitcher Carlos Martinez, who threw to second base to force Happ. However, the play was called a double play because Happ slid past the second-base bag. By rule put in place before last season, ostensibly to protect middle infielders from injury, the runner is called out and a double play is awarded if the baserunner slides past the bag, no matter by how little.

If the call had not been made – and upheld on replay – the Cubs would have had a run because Kyle Schwarber would have come home from third base.

“I’m over it,” said Cubs starting and losing pitcher Jon Lester (1-2), who worked 52/3 innings and gave up six hits and four runs, three earned.

“There was nothing malicious about that slide. He slid three inches past the bag, and we got a double play. I’m over the rule. The rule was meant to be for guys doing dirty slides, sliding late, taking guys out. There’s nothing wrong with that slide – whatsoever.”

kfishbain@profootballweekly.com LAKE FOREST – As excited as Adam Shaheen is to be a second-round pick in the middle of Bears rookie minicamp, he may be more thrilled about the Chipotle by the rookies’ hotel.

“There’s one like right across the street. It’s like the next light down.

It’s a two-minute drive,” he said with a smile after Saturday’s practice at Halas Hall.

Shaheen said he’s already been to Chipotle both nights, and somewhat famously went there often at Ashland University as he transformed into a 278-pound tight end.

In Lake Forest, he is sharing a room with Mitch Trubisky and getting a head start on chemistry with the quarterback.

“You know, from personal experience I had a great relationship with my quarterback from Ashland. And so I think it’s huge, having that offfield relationship,” he said. “I think it builds a trust on the field.”

Trubisky and Shaheen connected several times during Saturday’s session at rookie camp, where the 6-foot-7 tight end certainly stands out.

“Just to be as up to speed as I can with all the things that are going in, all the plays, all the different techniques and everything,” he said about his weekend goals. “Really just trying to bring myself up to that level so I can have the potential of having an opportunity to be productive.”

• AREA ROUNDUP

Skill set-wise, Shaheen said he wants to show, “The mentality of putting my hat on somebody, as well as being able to use that size to catch the ball, and having sure hands.”

For those curious, Shaheen gets a burrito at Chipotle with “extra, extra white rice,” double chicken and “just a little bit of corn.”

Regretting old tweets: Shaheen was asked about old tweets of his that surfaced the night he was drafted. One of those tweets criticized former President Barack Obama.

“I was a dumb teenager,” Shaheen said. “… If I had the maturity I do now, I would have recognized that there could be some potential problems and would understand the element of things and wouldn’t have obviously put it out there for everyone to go through on draft night.”

Cohen as a returner: Special teams coordinator Jeff Rodgers knows that Eddie Jackson, when fully healthy, can contribute in the return game, but rookie running back Tarik Cohen is getting looks, too.

“We had tape of one of his returns last year, which he scored, but it got called back,” Rodgers said Saturday.

“You know, he’s fast. He’s got verified speed. He’s got quickness. Size-wise, he’s short, but he’s not thin. He’s a little bit thicker. For a shorter guy, he’s got big hands and that will help. Some guys who are shorter have smaller hands, smaller arms, things like that.

So there’s not as much surface space for a guy to catch. We like his athletic traits.”

Joliet-area residents share best advice they received from their moms

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

“Mother knows best.”

Most of us have heard this saying at least once in our lives, perhaps when we were young and our mothers gave us advice we didn’t want to follow.

But now as adults looking back, we’re able to appreciate her sagacity.

So today, we offer a collection of wisdom as Joliet-area residents share their own mother’s best advice.

“When we were awaiting the adoption of our first child, my mother asked me which gender I preferred. I replied that gender wasn’t so important to me as the health of the baby and that ‘the baby had no disabilities.’ Mama taught me that day that ‘all of us have disabilities, some are visible and some are not.’ What a kinder world it would be if more parents taught that to their children.”

“Don’t surprise a man because the surprise might be on you.”

Sharlyn Bokus of Morris

“She stressed to me the invaluable qualities of teamwork in any relationship, especially with those you love.

She also confided in me the need to please your partner in every way that brings a smile to their face.”

ASK THE DOCTORS Elizabeth Ko and Eve Glazier a connection between regular contact with animals and beneficial changes to the gut microbiome.

Some researchers believe when a child is exposed to certain pet-associated microbes, the result is a beneficial effect on the development of his or her immune system. The theory is the presence of animals adds a level of diversity to the microbes the child encounters daily. The result is an immune system that’s measurably less trigger-happy in the presence of potential allergens.

However, this exposure appears to be at its most effective before birth and during the first 12 or so months of life.

What’s also interesting is stool samples taken from children who grew up on a farm, and therefore came into regular contact with a variety of animals, had a broader diversity of microbiota than did samples from children living without pets.

And it’s not only contact with the animals themselves scientists believe has benefits. The microscopic traces of soil that cling to the animals and get transferred to people, or that the animals bring into the home, contribute to an environment with a more robust and diverse array of useful microbes.

With research into the mysterious and fascinating microbiome still in its infancy, we only can imagine the revelations to come.

Dear Doctors: Neither of my sisters have pets, and all their kids have allergies. Could the fact we have dogs, a horse and a barn cat be the reason my kids aren’t allergic to anything?

Dear Reader: How and why allergies develop are complex questions that have long been the subject of study. So many variables are at play, both genetic and environmental, that it’s difficult to pinpoint why someone does develop an allergy and someone else does not.

That said, an emerging body of evidence suggests early exposure to pets may indeed offer a measure of protection from developing an allergy. It’s tied into what we’re now learning about the importance of the gut microbiome, which is the array of microbes and microorganisms that coexist within our bodies. This insight offers new avenues of research and understanding that are both fascinating and intriguing.

Let’s back up and talk about what, exactly, an allergy is.

An allergy develops when the immune system perceives a normally harmless substance as a threat and then mounts a vigorous defense against that substance.

Dust mites, pollen, certain foods and pet dander are among the substances the immune system suddenly may begin to target. The result of this hypersensitivity can manifest as itchiness, swelling, hives, wheezing, difficulty breathing, stomach upset and vomiting. Most allergies are manageable and merely are unpleasant or annoying. However, some allergic reactions can be so extreme they are life-threatening.

The original idea behind the petsare-good theory of allergy protection was, through early exposure, individuals became desensitized to the presence of potential allergens. New research now suggests

Mom’s long-distance advice isn’t what teen wants to hear Dear Abby: I am 17 and dating a 16-year-old girl. My mother lives a few states away. Every time we talk she tells me to spend less time with my girlfriend. It always seems like she’s trying to break us up. Please give me advice. I want her to want me to be in the relationship I’m in and to let me stay with her. – Teen In Love In

Pennsylvania Dear Teen: Regardless of what you

may think about what your mother is telling you, she is not the “enemy.”

She may be worried the more time you spend with your girlfriend, the less you will have to devote to your studies, sports, friends, etc. – all of which are important at your age. The two of you need to talk further about this, so there are no misunderstandings or hurt feelings.

P.S. Because your mother lives out

BE A GOOD

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips of state, I assume you are living with your father or some other relative/ guardian. It might be enlightening to know what the other adults in your life think about the amount of time you’re spending with your girlfriend.

Perhaps you should ask them.

Dear Abby: I am struggling to adapt to our accelerating technological world. When I remove myself from the rapid information cycle of the internet and social media, I feel the world is passing me by. I have tried to find a balance, but the ubiquity of technology and our cultural reliance on the internet leave me feeling like I have only

NEIGHBOR

two options at any given time – connection or disconnection – and neither one feels entirely healthy to me.

This isn’t the first case of technological advancement leading to rapid cultural change and a sense of dislocation, but at the current rate, it may be the most extreme. This is to say nothing of the increasing presence of artificial intelligence in our lives. Do you have any advice for maintaining one’s humanity while remaining culturally relevant in our increasingly technology-dependent world? – Floating In The

the latest news cycle. Trust me. You won’t miss much because the information will find its way to you.

Dear Abby: What is the proper way to handle the situation when you catch the host of a party double- or triple-dipping into a bowl? – Ick! In

harder to find a balance, because if you constantly are online, you will be swamped. Sometimes we must disconnect and enjoy the “real world” without the constant interruption of

Abby

Digital Age Dear Floating: Just this: Try

Volunteer.

Largo, Florida Dear Ick: That’s easy. Refrain from

consuming anything from that bowl.

Dear Readers: Happy Mother’s Day to mothers everywhere. This includes birth mothers, adoptive and foster mothers, stepmothers, grandmothers who are raising grandchildren, and dual-role dads. Orchids to all of you for the love you give every day. – Love,

SUNDAY HOROSCOPE

By EUGENIA LAST

Newspaper Enterprise Association TODAY – Bring it all together. Past ideas, people you enjoy collaborating with and the things you have discovered throughout your life’s journey will lead to a new way to direct your energy, skills and talents. Communicate, negotiate and put everything in place, and victory will be yours to enjoy.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Your interest in different cultures or lifestyles will take you on a hunt for inner peace. Sign up for a retreat or take some time to figure out what makes you happy.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Truth is required if

you aren’t ready to move forward with someone or something you’ve been toying with.

Denying responsibility will upset someone who feels you should be held accountable.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Emotions will intensify if you don’t deal with a toxic situation. Make a decision and follow through on it instead of complaining and carrying on. End whatever isn’t working for you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Someone who is all talk and no action will take advantage of you.

Don’t give in to someone’s flattery. You’ll feel used if you are left doing all the work.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Being a team player will make a difference in the way your day unfolds. Be willing to do your part and to take

an interest in what others do as well.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Don’t worry if someone opposes your plans. Emotions will be difficult to deal with, but in the end, a detailed description of what you want to do will pay off.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Look back and talk to people from your past in order to get a clear picture of your accomplishments and the goals you have yet to achieve.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Trouble will develop if you can’t get along with others.

A child or a past rival will question your motives if you aren’t clear about what you want.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Take a secretive approach to how and when you execute

your personal plans. Too much too fast will lead to a problem finishing what you start.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – You’ll have good ideas that should be shared. Offer your help to a group that can use a fresh approach to dealing with an important cause.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Consider what you need to do to reach your dreams. A wellthought-out plan is a good place to begin.

Call someone who can help you achieve your goal.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Take it easy. Don’t let the little things get to you. An emotional slump could ruin your day and upset someone you love. Be willing to compromise to avoid discord.

It is always encouraging to hear about a promising young player. This deal features 12-year-old Ediz Akay, whose father Sadik is a well-known expert in Turkey.

You can work out where Akay was sitting because the young know no fear. Not only did he bid his fivecard suit twice, but he doubled four spades with no guarantee it could be defeated.

As soon as the bidding ended, Akay said, “So far, nobody has ever managed to make a contract that I doubled.”

“How long have you been playing bridge?” asked an opponent.

“Two months.”

Ozlem Senturk, a university student, understandably led her singleton diamond. South won in the dummy and led a low heart, but East accurately took the trick with the ace and shifted to his singleton club.

Declarer won with his ace, cashed the heart king, ruffed a heart with the spade queen and tried to cash the club king. But East ruffed, gave his partner a diamond ruff, trumped another club with the spade ace and led a card. West had to take two more trump tricks for down three. North paid a heavy price for his unjustified raise to game.

“I told you so,” mumbled East.

The original reporter claimed that South could have escaped for down one by leading the spade queen from the board at trick two. That would not have been right if Akay had taken the trick and shifted to any heart but the ace! If he had found that play for down two, he would have won the defense of the year award.
