PLAINFIELD – Hundreds of applications from families already are coming in for a spot in the Plainfield District 202 full-day kindergarten pilot program. Tom Hernandez, district spokesman, told the Board of Education at Monday’s meeting that the full-day kindergarten lottery process was going well and, as of Monday afternoon, the district had gathered upward of 650 applications. “So far, so good,” Hernandez said. Last Friday morning marked the beginning of the lottery for the full-day kinder-

State application

The board approved Monday a qualified school construction bond designation application to the Illinois State Board of Education for federal funding that will help finance maintenance and improvement projects for buildings within the district. John Markley, interim assistant superintendent of business and operations, said the application is a “wonderful opportunity” for the board to help maintain the 32 buildings in the district, some of which date back to 1967. The application is due Jan. 15. “This will afford the district and the Board of Education the great opportunity

to maintain the buildings to continue the excellent educational facilities,” Markley said. Superintendent Lane Abrell said even though the application is through the ISBE for approval of capital or maintenance projects, it’s federal money. “I’m very confident if we are approved at the state level to receive this money, we’ll actually receive it,” he said. Board Vice President Greg Nichols and board members Kevin Kirberg, David Koch, William Slabich, Rod Westfall and Heather Drake approved the application. Board President Michelle Smith was absent from the meeting.

Plainfield trustees, plan commission review zoning code Side yard fences

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – Plainfield trustees and plan commission members favored working many zoning issues on a caseby-case basis when they met for a joint session Monday night. Five trustees, four plan commissioners and Mayor Michael Collins talked with village staff to work out proposed changes to the Plainfield zoning code, which hasn’t been updated since 2006. “The village is a good place to do business,” said Jonathan Proulx, a village planner. “We want to streamline, simplify and make sure codes and policies are consistent throughout.” The proposed update would include potential changes to regulate side yard fences, the signage codes, site plan review ordinance for multifamily and townhomes, and regulation of special uses.

garten pilot program. Following community demand and space availability, district officials are implementing the program for next school year. The lottery is the first step in the process to identify 408 students who will be given the chance to be a part of the program, district officials said in a news release. District 202 does not have enough space in the schools to provide full-day kindergarten to all students. The lottery application will end at 5 p.m. Jan. 22, and the lottery itself will be held Feb. 3 to pick 24 students for each elementary building. Families will be notified no later than Feb. 5 whether their child has been accepted or put on a waiting list.

Currently, a side yard fence can’t be closer to the street than the side of the home. But Proulx said that restriction presents safety and convenience hardships to residents whose children and pets play in the yard, among other issues. Residents need to go through the village’s special-use permit process to stray from the regulation. Several alternatives were presented to trustees and commissioners, such as allowing a full-height fence to the property line, allowing a reduced height fence to the property line, allowing it within 10 feet of the property line or maintaining the existing regulation. Staff recommended maintaining the existing regulations. Many trustees and commissioners agreed, noting that while fewer than a handful of applications are heard every year, it was worth a homeowners association or neighbors

of the fenced property to voice any concerns. However, Trustee Edward O’Rourke said that while applying for a permit isn’t an arduous process, it still could deter people from modifying their own fences.

Targeted businesses

The special-use process isn’t needed for a select number of businesses that the village has identified as potentially unwanted enterprises. Those included beauty, nail and tanning salons, body art services, currency exchanges, flea markets, fortune telling, massage therapy and tobacco sales, including electronic vapor cigarettes. Trustees and commissioners were divided on how far the village should go to protect the village’s image and character while encouraging free enterprise. There also was the question if the village could, by law, restrict the businesses at all.

Some of the joint board members questioned the necessity of including beauty, nail and tanning salons, and after discussion, those businesses were removed from consideration of the special-use process. The board ended up suggesting that the value of a public hearing was not denying the businesses, but adding another layer of review. “We [at least] want community input,” Commissioner John Green said.

Other changes

The joint board also generally agreed upon more changes: • Modify the sign code to regulate monument signs from the road level and be included in the planned unit development, limit LED displays to 50 percent of the sign and add the north side of Main Street and east side of Route 59 to the Central Sign District. • Continue evaluating drivethrus on a case-by-case basis.

COVER STORY

Preservationist says something is being lost, too

By BOB OKON bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The downtown Joliet skyline is changing. The new Will County Courthouse, if built as currently planned, would be the tallest building downtown, a 10-story structure of gleaming glass greeting motorists as they exit Interstate 80. The courthouse height would surpass the tallest building, which still is being completed – the six-story Joliet Junior College building on the other end of downtown. Meanwhile, Joliet hopes to start construction this year on a new train station, although progress is being slowed by funding issues. The buildings encourage city officials as symbols of new vitality downtown. They discourage some preservationists who hate to see old buildings go. One way or the other, the look of downtown Joliet is changing. “The face of downtown is going to be significantly different,” Mayor Bob O’Dekirk said. “The modern buildings show that Joliet is a town on the come. It’s not just an old town with old buildings. It’s a town that’s still thriving.”

Snow gently falls Monday over Chicago Street in downtown Joliet.

“The face of downtown is going to be significantly different. The modern buildings show that Joliet is a town on the come. It’s not just an old town with old buildings. It’s a town that’s still thriving.”

Business magnets?

One common characteristic of the new buildings is that they are all public structures paid for by tax dollars – not signs of new private investment in the downtown area. But Bill Naedler of Elwood, who was downtown last week to pick up his wife from work, agreed that new construction is a sign of vitality and said it should help private enterprise. “I think it adds to the downtown,” Naedler said. “It brings people to the downtown businesses. You just don’t have the downtown dying out.” The city hopes to capitalize on the new development to at-

LOCAL NEWS Rauner reflects on his first year Have a news tip?

Contact Kate Schott at 815-280-4119 or kschott@shawmedia.com

By EMILY K. COLEMAN ecoleman@shawmedia.com SPRINGFIELD – One year in to Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner’s term, the state doesn’t have a budget, and he hasn’t gotten the structural reforms he’s been pushing as part of his “Turnaround Agenda.” Rauner said in an interview Monday with S h a w M e d i a Gov. Bruce that he isn’t sur- Rauner prised, but he is frustrated by the situation, although he added that the state’s problems took years to create and will take time to fix. But Rauner also pointed to some victories in unemployment insurance reform that prevented a tax hike for businesses and a benefit decrease for recipients, and a plan to fill a $1.6 billion hole in last year’s budget through across-theboard cuts and transfers from other areas.

Question: Is this where you ex-

pected to be one year in? Rauner: Well, I’m not totally

surprised. I’m obviously a bit disappointed we haven’t been able to get major structural reforms that are so badly needed, but it was a good year in many regards. We made some major strides in the right direction, and we’ll just stay persistent and strong, trying to get the structural reforms to grow the economy and get more value for taxpayers.

Question: When you were running for office, you said you were going to run Illinois like a CEO runs a business. How has that worked out for you? Rauner: Mostly very well.

The parallels between leading in government and leading in business are very similar. It’s about assembling a very talented team of executives, leaders. It’s about team building. It’s about setting a vision and a plan, laying it out. And then it’s about managing to implement that plan. It’s all very similar. It’s negotiating. It’s selling. It’s all very similar skills to business.

More online Visit this story at TheHeraldNews.com for more of Shaw Media’s Q&A with Gov. Bruce Rainer.

Obviously, the big difference is major structural change is hard. It’s hard in business, but in business, the constituents that have to be convinced or persuaded – the scale is just fundamentally different. Democracy is designed to change slowly. It’s just built that way, and to get major change just takes a while. I’m not totally surprised. I’m frustrated, but I’m not surprised.

Question: In a few weeks, you have to give your annual budget address, and since we don’t have a budget currently, how do you think you’re going to go about doing that? Rauner: I’ll say a few things.

First, I’ve been talking about the budget and budget issues every day for a year, and I’m going to continue to talk every day for the next year. The bud-

get address is just one part of that, and I’ll talk about budget issues in detail. The sad fact is I can’t find when [was] the last time Illinois truly had a balanced budget. We’ve always had deficits, and we’ve played budget gimmicks and games. We’ve had kick-thecan pension ramps. We’ve done everything but have truly balanced budgets. This is not like some shocking, “Wow,” new development in Illinois. This has been going on for decades. The key is structural reform and our proposals – our six bills that sometimes [Speaker Michael Madigan] says, “Well, they’re non-budget.” They’re directly related to the budget. If we can put in pro-business, progrowth reforms, we can raise billions in new revenue from the new growth, the economic reform. If we pass pension reform, which is one of our bills, we can save billions in expenses. These things are tied to the budget. ... They’re not extreme. Other states have done it. They will help the middle class. They’ll help grow wages. And

they’re necessary.

Question: Speaking of structural reforms, some would criticize that you’ve been all or nothing on them. Can you speak to that criticism? Rauner: I think that’s goofy

spin from some of my opponents. We’ve taken many things off the table. The state needs many reforms. We’ve taken most of them off the table. One of the biggest is we’ve taken right to work off the table. We’ve taken empowerment zones off the table. That’s a huge issue because we’re bleeding out our manufacturing base. Manufacturers are leaving Illinois in droves. Thousands of manufacturing jobs are leaving. Those are good-paying, high-quality jobs. They’re going to more labor-flexible states. They’re going to right-to-work states. It would be hugely powerful for our state if we could have some counties compete with Texas and Tennessee and South Carolina and Indiana. But I’ve taken it off the table.

Will County lawmakers to push local initiatives; Illinois House session canceled By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com SPRINGFIELD – Even after Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan canceled his chamber’s two-day session this week for the lack of workload, local lawmakers say they will continue working on bills to introduce this session. Here’s a rundown of what some area lawmakers hope to accomplish in the coming weeks and months:

Recalling elected officials

State Rep. Mark Batinick, R-Plainfield on Monday said he will still work to build support for a newly filed bill concerning the recalls of state and local elected officials. The bill – House Joint Resolution Constitutional Amendment 44 – would amend the

state’s constitution by making all elected officials public to recall. It also changes the signature requirements Rep. Mark for affidavits Batnick and petitions for recall of the governor and expands them to include all members of the executive branch, state lawmakers and elected officials from any community college, school district or unit of local government. Batinick pointed to a number of instances, in the last two years alone, where a recall would be beneficial: An Oswego Township commissioner who oversaw road maintenance and repair projects while living in Florida; controversial actions by the

Plainfield Park District Board in 2014; and the major fallout at the College of DuPage. “I mean, what do you do with all of those situations?” Batinick said.

Stephanie’s Law

Sen. Jennifer Bertino-Tarrant, D-Plainfield, said she hopes to push Senate Bill 2201 – also known as Stephanie’s Law, a bill she i n t r o d u c e d Jennifer in D e c e m - Bertinober. It aims to Tarrant strengthen Illinois’ sex offender registry law by requiring a person convicted of battery to register as an offender if the court finds that the crime was sexually motivated.

Bertino-Tarrant said the change in law is because of conversations she has had with Tina Estopare, a Plainfield woman whose daughter was sexually molested. The daughter’s perpetrator was later convicted only of a battery charge, meaning he could not be placed on the sex offender registry list because state law regarding battery does not include that option. “It’s a loophole [that needs to be closed,]” Bertino-Tarrant said.

Travel reimbursement policies

Rep. Margo McDermed, R-Mokena, said she wants to push House Bill 4379 – which would require non-home-rule local governments, including school districts, to craft travel reimbursement policies and

standardize expense forms. “I think it’s the right way to strike a balance between local control and [ensuring the best Rep. Margo use of] local tax- McDermed payer dollars,” McDermed said. “It asks that all local governments have an expense policy, and if they have one, to follow it.” If governments don’t have policy, it’s tough to discipline those who misuse travel expense dollars, she said. The Illinois Senate is scheduled to meet Wednesday. According to the Illinois General Assembly’s website, the only scheduled hearing is to approve executive appointments to various state boards and commissions.

LOCAL BRIEFS Teen brothers held in Joliet Township slaying

JOLIET TOWNSHIP – Two teenage brothers are each being held on $2.5 million bond in the death of a 62-year-old Joliet Township man killed Thursday night. Blaique P. Morgan, 19, and Amari Morgan, 17, each face two Blaique P. Morgan counts of murder, Will County State’s Attorney’s spokesman Charles Pelkie said Monday. Under state law murder charges filed against 16- and 17-year-olds automatically become adult charges, Pelkie said. The Morgan brothers had been involved in an ongoing argument with Robert J. Bielec, their next door neighbor in the 1700 block of Houston Avenue, according to Will County Sheriff’s spokeswoman Kathy Hoffmeyer. A woman who lived with Bielec told police she heard arguing outside about 10:50 p.m. and

then a loud noise. She came out to find Bielec lying in the driveway. Bielec was pronounced dead at the scene. Detectives believe he was struck in the head with a pipe or crowbar, but did not identify which, Hoffmeyer said. Blaique Morgan is being held in the Will County Jail and Amari Morgan is being held in the River Valley Juvenile Detention facility. If he still is in custody when he turns 18 in October, he would also be transferred to the jail. Blaique Morgan was on probation after pleading guilty to aggravated battery last year. Both Blaique and Amari Morgan are scheduled to be arraigned Feb. 5, Pelkie said.

BRAIDWOOD – Police say a Braidwood woman tried tossing a bag of crack from her car before being pulled over Friday. Braidwood Police Chief Nick Ficarello said an officer was on patrol about 7:30 p.m. Friday

when he saw a vehicle with a cracked windshield. “The officer began following Robin R. the car and the Hexdall driver could be seen throwing an open plastic bag out the window to the side of the road and sped off,” Ficarello said. “Because of the rainy conditions, the officer stopped immediately to retrieve the bag.” The officer got back in his car and was able to catch up with the vehicle he’d been following, Ficarello said. The driver was stopped and the contents of the bag were identified as crack cocaine, Ficarello said. Robin R. Hexdall, 49, of the 200 block of North Center Street, was arrested and booked into the Will County Jail on charges of drug possession, obstructing justice, driving with a suspended license and failing to yield to an emergency vehicle.

was part of the effort to save the White Store, said too much of Joliet’s history is being lost. He also has argued against tearing down the First Midwest Bank building for the new Will County Courthouse. “There’s nothing wrong with the [new] buildings,” Carlson said. “It’s just that what’s missed is trying to save the history of what was there, what was part of the consciousness of Joliet.” Carlson points to the demolition of the old Will County Courthouse, a 19th century limestone structure with a clock tower and other ornate features, that was torn down and replaced by the current concrete building many consider ugly. In 1968, when the current courthouse was built, Carlson said, “everybody said that’s a beautiful building. I was a freshman in college when that courthouse was built. I thought it was a beautiful building. It was done in the architectural style of the day.”

working with, ‘Bill, this is a fortress, not a courthouse. What do they expect – an atomic bomb?’ ” Dactelides said. The current courthouse is staying under the county plan. The new courthouse will be built just to the west of it. Dactelides believes it and other old buildings should stay. “If you build a building that’s indestructible, why do you want to tear it down?” he asked. Dactelides’ store is in a 114-year-old building on the corner of Chicago and Cass streets. He can look out the window of his store and see the new JJC building, which he thinks will clash with others in the downtown area. Still, he said, “progress is good,” and if the new buildings bring people and customers, that will be good, too. Amy Melton, a Joliet resident and downtown lawyer, is like a lot of people when it comes to choosing between new and old architecture. “I like a mix,” Melton said. “I do like the historical value of a lot of the old buildings. I also like the idea of building something new. If you bring in something new, there are some positives that come from that. It can bring in some new business.” Joliet officials hope the new buildings spur the downtown economy. Besides that, Jones said, “these are pretty cool buildings.”

Elwood presses on with Safe Roads Illinois campaign Critics argue growing truck traffic is a self-created problem ELWOOD – Safe Roads Illinois – an online-based campaign Elwood launched in December to raise public awareness about the region’s growing truck traffic problem – is one way the village is going to bat for its residents as it seeks reforms it says will bring about safer roadways. But critics argue Elwood – one of the driving forces more than a decade ago behind the first wave of warehouse development in Will County – is trying to get in front of a self-created problem. “It’s unfortunate that they have to attack the industry that they so longingly tried to court for years, to bring forward,” said Matt Wells, associate director for the Midwest Truckers Association. “And now they’re trying to demonize what they’ve been able to capitalize on.” Elwood Police Chief Fred Hayes said the village is “proud of the development in the area,” but the local officials in office today are not the same who were there when the development started. “We’re not the same administration, not the same mayor and trustees, not the same residents,” Hayes said. “Here I am today. I’m the chief public safety official. And we have some serious problems here.” Hayes pointed to the 20 truck-related deaths in Will County since January 2014, along with 909 truck-related incidents and 156 truck-related injuries, as a need for the village’s campaign. Village President Bill Offerman did not return multiple calls made Friday and Monday seeking comment on the Safe Roads Illinois campaign. Village Administrator Nick Narducci did not return a phone call Friday seeking comment.

nered 1,183 signatures and 4,438 unique visits to its website – www.SafeRoadsIllinois. com, according to Elwood spokesman Scott Burnham, a senior strategist with the Chicago-based Serafin & Associates. Burnham said the village of Elwood paid Serafin & Associates $15,000 for the creation of the campaign’s website and video interviews, on top of the $7,500 monthly fee for the firm’s PR services. The petition calls for elected officials to “make truckers pay for blatant disregard of the law, hold developers accountable for their actions and impacts, coordinate enforcement of truck traffic, and toughen commercial driver licensing, regulations and penalties.” Hayes, who has traveled to Washington, D.C., to lobby for tougher commercial driver licensing laws and regulations, said the campaign is calling for higher standards for and ongoing training for the smaller, independent trucking companies. More also needs to be done in light of the state’s January 2015 decision to close Walter Strawn Drive, a main entrance to CenterPoint Intermodal Center in Elwood, Hayes said. Referring to two recent incidents in Elwood in which truckers made a wrong turn and drove through the Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery in attempts to reach the intermodals, Hayes said he hopes the campaign brings attention to the lack of detour signage near the state-closed Walter Strawn Drive. “What I do notice is that they are confused. They get lost. They’re thinking, ‘Maybe I could turn down here and this would cut through,’ ” Hayes said. “The state closed Walter Strawn. The state should be responsible for putting up the proper signage.”

Regional issue

As of Friday morning, the campaign’s petition has gar-

Elwood is among 26 municipalities in Will County that

have warehouse space and/or logistics operations, according to information confirmed by the Will County Center For Economic Development. Many of the trucks that pass through the village are headed to the nearby CenterPoint intermodal facility. Michael Murphy, chief development officer for CenterPoint, declined last week giving a phone interview but answered questions via email. He said CenterPoint “has been consistent in calling for a regionally sensible and safe long-term traffic solution to deal with truck traffic.” “This goes beyond the existing short-term closure of Walter Strawn Drive, and includes long-term solutions such as a grade separation at Walter Strawn Drive and Route 53, or potentially a Houbolt Road bridge,” he wrote. Murphy said CenterPoint, through billboards on interstates and meeting with tenants about preferred truck routes, has encouraged the use of Interstate 55 and Arsenal Road as a primary entrance into the intermodals. Murphy also noted that during the past 15 years CenterPoint has invested more than $1.5 billion in the Joliet-Elwood intermodal, “resulting in job creation and tax support for the community,” he wrote. He said that included $800 million for the village of Elwood, and included road improvements, support for police and fire services, a water tower and village park. Hayes said the campaign has not singled out CenterPoint specifically, although the developer remains entangled in the 2013 lawsuit with the village. Case proceedings still are playing out in court. “Certainly the village is involved in litigation with CenterPoint, but this is a regional issue,” Hayes said. “I think I’ve made that very clear. This growth in Will County is coming at a significant price that is putting the public in peril and jeopardy.”

Lisa Mammosser, co-owner of Giarrante’s Barber Shop, uses a comb and clippers to trim the hair of a customer Thursday in Joliet.

providence New owners keep traditional CATHOLIC HIGH SCHOOL ways at Giarrante’s Barber Shop Where leaders of tomorrow are made By BOB OKON bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Giarrante’s Barber Shop is a traditional barbershop that has not gone away. It has changed, though. Three female employees took over the business last year. They are all committed to keeping Giarrante’s a traditional barbershop – not a salon. If you want a hot shave with a straight razor, no problem, they all said. But no hair dyes, no nails done at Giarrante’s. “If we started doing things like that, it would lose the barbershop feel,” Sue Mejia said. “We want to maintain that good old barbershop feel.” Mejia, a Giarrante’s employee for 20 years; Stephanie Wallace, an employee for 17 years; and Lisa Mammosser, a relative newcomer at three years, took ownership in June. They bought the business from Bob Giarrante, who opened the shop at 248 Republic Ave. in 1969. Giarrante still owns the building. He cuts hair there a couple of half-days a week. So does his brother, former Mayor Tom Giarran-

The business is in the hands of three women, all of whom say there is something special about a barbershop. “I think we have a good environment,” Wallace said. “Our customers are like our family. We have a special energy here. We have a lot of good conversation.” Family, vacations, work, politics – all of it gets hashed out at Giarrante’s, Wallace said. Sports, too, is a topic. But when the new owners looked for new decor for the shop, the customers rejected the idea of a sports theme. “They said no,” Wallace said. “They said there’s too much of that and that’s not a real barbershop.”

The new owners did add something the shop did not have, oddly enough – a barber pole outside. Women barbers are not unusual these days, although it was not always so. When Mammosser graduated from barber school 34 years ago and went to work at a now-gone, two-chair shop in Shorewood, her presence was not entirely welcomed. “I had a difficult time,” Mammosser said, remembering the reaction she got when a man faced a woman barber in the early 1980s. “Two-chair barbershop, heck no. What are you doing here? Are you sure you know how to cut hair?” Times have changed. Mammosser fits in now – better, she said, than at a salon. “I’m just more comfortable here,” she said. “I worked at a salon before coming here. I didn’t fit in at all.” Mejia said the new owners want a lot of people to feel comfortable at Giarrante’s. They offer a wide variety of haircuts, and women customers come in, too – for haircuts. As for the future of Giarrante’s, she said, “I think we’re pretty much going by the old standards.”

Mojica pleaded guilty Monday in exchange for having two other sexual abuse charges dropped. He faced life in prison if convicted on all counts. Mojica had the legal proceedings translated into Spanish and declined to address the court before he was sentenced. Will County Assistant Public Defender April Simmons sought for Kennedy to have Mojica kept out of general population at the jail until he is transferred to the Department of Corrections because of “the nature of the offense.” Kennedy asked if Mojica already had been threatened or in fights and denied the motion when he was told he hadn’t been.

Witness’ phone calls played in court for lawyer-turned-defendant By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The Homer Glen attorney accused of trying to hire out his wife’s murder from the Will County Jail is optimistic about his upcoming trial. “I’m really happy with what I have at this point,” Robert W. Gold-Smith told Judge Dan- Robert W. iel Rozak on Gold-Smith Monday after Gold-Smith and Will County Assistant State’s Attorney Adam Capelli listened to recordings of phone conversations in court. The calls were between one of Gold-Smith’s former clients and Brian McDaniel, a career criminal who agreed to wear a wire for detectives to charge Gold-Smith with solicitation of murder, authorities have said. Gold-Smith, 53, has been in jail since March 2011 for allegedly violating an order

of protection filed by his then-wife in November 2010. Gold-Smith reportedly began approaching other jail inmates, including McDaniel, to have his wife killed. He also is now facing witness tampering charges. According to the recordings, Julio Centeno, who once hired Gold-Smith in a divorce case, called McDaniel in prison to discuss signing an affidavit to dispute the recording. “He’s going to file a [federal] lawsuit. He’s got ... this case beat already,” Centeno said during the call. “With your recantation it would look better on a federal level.” “I don’t think he’s got it won ... and nobody else does but him,” McDaniel answered. Centeno disputed that during the call and told McDaniel a voice expert can’t match Gold-Smith’s voice to the wire recordings. “I heard that,” McDaniel said. An audio expert said tests

On the recording, McDaniel also expressed displeasure his name has appeared in Herald-News articles as a “rat.” “I’ve been in two fights over that already,” McDaniel told Centeno. Centeno reassured McDaniel he’d eventually be taken care of financially for helping Gold-Smith. “There’s something at the end of the rainbow,” Centeno said on the recording. “I’m not doing anything for the end of the rainbow. It’s got to be before the rainbow,” McDaniel replied. Gold-Smith is scheduled to face trial later this month.

Paternity SPONSORED BY

By C.R. Walker Establishing paternity is important to children, fathers and mothers. For a child, it ensures their right to a legal relationship with their father, one that hopefully will provide a sense of identity and belonging. Paternity also secures numerous benefits, including financial and medical support, social security, veteran’s benefits and potential inheritance upon the father’s passing. Furthermore, it allows access to valuable family medical information and other genealogical data. A father can add his name to the birth certificate and his relationship with his son or daughter becomes a legal one. This affords him the opportunity of being someone’s father and also offers parental rights over the child. For a mother, her rights can be protected. Some mothers want to establish paternity for child support as well as child custody and visitation rights. Since all three parties are affected by paternity, any of them can be the one initiating the process of it getting es-

tablished. Basically, paternity affidavit, administrative order based on genetic test results and court order are the three typical ways paternity is established. There are some state laws that provide that both persons who sign the paternity affidavit waive any right to bring a court or administrative action to determine the parentage of the child other than for purposes of rescinding the affidavit. If genetic test result is returned which identifies the father, an administrative order of paternity is issued and the matter is set for an administrative support action. It is important to understand that children who are born to unwed persons do not automatically have a legal relationship with the father, without a paternity action establishing the identity of the father, whether agreed or contested. Selecting a reputable law firm that specializes in paternity cases, such as Grotta & Associates, can help you proceed.

JOLIET – A Rockdale man was sentenced Monday to 33 years in prison for having sex with an 8-yearold girl. Juan D. Mojica, 30, must serve at least 26 more years behind bars before he is eli- Juan D. gible for parole Mojica and will have to register as a sex offender for the rest of his life, Judge Daniel Kennedy said. Mojica has been in the Will County Jail since his arrest Jan. 2, 2014. Mojica had been let go from a job at a Bolingbrook warehouse earlier that day

and spent the afternoon drinking in the garage of a Meadow Avenue residence, according to Rockdale police. Chief Robert Dykstra has said a woman was giving her infant son a bath when her 5-year-old daughter came in and said she couldn’t find her older sister. Screams brought the woman to a bedroom where she found Mojica on top of the victim, Dykstra said. Mojica took the woman’s cellphone when she attempted to call police, so she grabbed a kitchen knife to defend herself and fled with the three children into a freezing snowstorm as Mojica chased her for several blocks before a passer-by contacted police, Dykstra said.

Icon David Bowie dies of cancer at 69 The Associated Press NEW YORK – David Bowie, the chameleon-like star who transformed the sound – and the look – of rock with his audacious creativity and his sexually ambiguous makeup and costumes, died of cancer Sunday. Bowie, whose hits included “Space Oddity,” “Fame,” “Heroes” and “Let’s Dance,” died surrounded by family, representative Steve Martin said early Monday. The singer, who was 69, had fought cancer for 18 months. Long before alter egos and

Bowie’s birthday was Friday, the same day as he released his new album, “Blackstar.” A statement on social media asked fans to respect the family’s privacy. Born David Jones in London, the singer came of age in the early 1970s glam rock era. He had a striking androgynous look in his early days and was known for changing his appearance and sounds. After “Ziggy Stardust,” the stuttering rock sound of “Changes” gave way to the disco soul of “Fame,” co-written with John Lennon, to a droning collabora-

tion with Brian Eno in Berlin that produced “Heroes.” He had some of his biggest successes in the early 1980s with the bombastic “Let’s Dance,” and a massive American tour. Another one of his definitive songs was “Under Pressure,” which he recorded with Queen; Vanilla Ice would years later infamously use the song’s hook for his smash hit “Ice Ice Baby.” “My entire career, I’ve only really worked with the same subject matter,” Bowie told The Associated Press in a 2002 interview. “The trousers may change, but the actual words

wild outfits became commonplace in pop, Bowie turned the music world upside down with the release of the 1972 album, “The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars” which introduced one of music’s most famous personas. “Ziggy Stardust” was a concept album that imagined a rock star from outer space trying to make his way in the music world. The persona – the red-headed, eyeliner wearing Stardust – would become an enduring part of Bowie’s legacy, and a touchstone for the way entertainers packaged themselves for years to come.

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS Radogno says Ill. budget standoff could last years

CHICAGO – The top Republican in the Illinois Senate said “it’s possible” the standoff over a state budget could last for several years if Democrats aren’t willing to compromise. Sen. Christine Radogno spoke Monday before the City Club of Chicago. She said if Illinois continues to spend money at current levels without raising taxes, the state’s backlog of unpaid bills could reach almost $25 billion in four years. That’s based on a report from GOP Gov. Bruce Rauner’s budget office. Radogno said, “While I hope it doesn’t happen, I think it’s possible.”

the costs of collective bargaining. The case affects more than 5 million workers in 23 states and Washington, D.C. But Justice Anthony Kennedy rejected arguments by lawyers for the state of California and the California Teachers Association that the current fee system is needed to prevent non-members from becoming “free riders” – workers who reap the rewards of union bargaining and grievance procedures without paying for it. “The union basically is making these teachers compelled riders for issues on which they strongly disagree,” Kennedy said, noting the political nature of bargaining issues such as teacher salaries, merit promotions and class size.

High court seems ready to scrap union fees

Detroit schools close due to teacher protest

WASHINGTON – The Supreme Court appears ready to deliver a major setback to American unions as it considers scrapping a four-decade precedent that lets public-sector labor organizations collect fees from workers who decline to join. During more than an hour of oral arguments Monday, the high court’s conservative justices seemed likely to side with a group of California teachers who say those mandatory fees violate the free-speech rights of workers who disagree with a union’s positions. Labor officials fear unions’ very existence could be threatened if workers are allowed to get all the benefits of representation without at least paying fees to cover

DETROIT – A wave of teacher absences described by an activist as “rolling strikes” shut down more than half of Detroit’s 100 public schools Monday, keeping thousands of students at home as a so-called sick-out entered a second week. A handful of high schools were forced to close last week because of teachers calling in sick to protest their pay and call for smaller class sizes. But the action Monday was more dramatic as more teachers stayed home, prompting Mayor Mike Duggan to urge the teachers to return to work. “I understand the teachers’ frustration, but our children need our teachers in the classroom,” Duggan said in a release.

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton speaks at a campaign rally Monday in Waterloo, Iowa.

Clinton confronts Sanders as Iowa polls tighten By LISA LERER and KEN THOMAS The Associated Press WATERLOO, Iowa – Hillary Clinton has spent much of her presidential campaign looking past Democratic rival Bernie Sanders, focusing instead on Republicans and the November general election. No longer. Three weeks before the lead-off Iowa caucuses and with polls suggesting a tightening race, she now is confronting the Vermont senator more directly, attempting to undermine his liberal credentials on gun control, health care and even the Wall Street regulations that have been the core of his campaign. “It’s time for us to have the kind of spirited debate that you deserve us to have,” Clinton told voters Monday. “We do have differences.” After months with a comfortable edge in most Iowa polls, the former secretary of state finds herself battling an underdog rival in a state that has a history of rewarding anti-establishment campaigns – a situation that brings back echoes of her 2008 loss to Barack Obama. While she has locked up

the vast majority of support from party leaders and large donors, Sanders has captured the hearts of many in the Democratic base with his unapologetically liberal economic message. An NBC/The Wall Street Journal/Marist poll released Sunday found Clinton with 48 percent and Sanders with 45 percent of likely caucus goers, representing a closer margin than past polls have indicated. Sanders has maintained an edge in New Hampshire, which borders his home state of Vermont, making Iowa even more important for Clinton. The NBC/Wall Street Journal/Marist poll showed Sanders with 50 percent and Clinton with 46 percent in that primary. Clinton still holds a strong advantage among black and Latino voters who play a bigger role in the primaries in late February and March. But even if Clinton pulls out a win in Iowa, a narrow victory could set off alarms among Democrats about her strength against Sanders, who started the campaign as an obscure senator polling in the single digits. Until now, Clinton rarely has mentioned Sanders by

name at her campaign events, choosing instead to warn voters about the risks of electing a Republican. She has pointed to efforts by Republicans to repeal Obama’s signature health care law – the president vetoed the most recent try – as a sign of what could come if Democrats lose the White House. But on Monday, she widened her health care critique to include Sanders, saying he would “rip up” the law and put power in the hands of states. Sanders said during a town hall meeting in Perry that large numbers of underinsured and sky-high deductibles demand a better health care system, which he would seek through his single-payer, Medicare-for-all system. Said Clinton: “I sure don’t want to turn over health care to Republican governors for heaven’s sake. I think it’s a risky deal.” That’s not quite the situation: Although states would have some leeway under Sanders’ plan, his office says they would not be allowed to opt out completely as Republican governors have done with the Medicaid expansion provided under the current health care law.

A migrant walks at the entrance of the Calais refugee camp Monday in Calais, northern France. Approximately 130 containers will be converted to shelters to accommodate as many as 1,500 migrants who are expected to move in Monday.

By ALEX TURNBULL The Associated Press CALAIS, France – French officials took steps Monday to improve the lot of thousands of migrants living in dreadful conditions in northern France, setting up containers with bunk beds in Calais, the largest camp, and approving plans to relocate another squalid camp outside nearby Dunkirk. Migrants throng by the thousands to Calais and Dunkirk in a bid to sneak into Britain. But until Monday, authorities had done little to make life easier for migrants – from Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Eritrea and elsewhere – because France and Britain are trying to dissuade them from coming. A group of 140 people moved into the white containers with bunk beds in the Calais camp. The containers can house 1,500, with children and families getting priority.

In Grande-Synthe, the mayor’s office approved relocating a camp mired in mud to another location, after weeks of discussions among local authorities and Doctors Without Borders, which led the effort. The new camp will open in four weeks, according to the prefecture of the Nord region. Up to 2,500 people stay in the Grande-Synthe camp, known as a haven for smugglers. Both camps ballooned with the influx of migrants to Europe, and the Calais camp has evolved into a slum with shops, mosques and a church between the tarps and tents. Up to 6,000 people were staying there in the fall, though the number has decreased recently. Authorities are cautious not to allow housing to attract more migrants. The goal is to reduce the Calais migrant population to 2,000. Security has been tightened at the port and Channel tunnel.

U.S. bombs pile of Islamic State cash in Iraq By ROBERT BURNS The Associated Press WASHINGTON – A U.S. defense official said American airstrikes are chipping away at the Islamic State group’s cash piles. An airstrike this week hit what the official called a “cash

storage facility” in the city of Mosul, which is the militants’ main stronghold in Iraq. The official, who was authorized to discuss details only on the condition of anonymity, said Monday two 2,000-pound bombs targeted the facility. The officials said the amount of cash destroyed is

believed to be in the millions of dollars, but the exact amount is unknown. It was at least the second time the U.S. has bombed the Islamic State’s cash stockpiles. Combined with attacking the militants’ oil resources, it is part of an effort to sap their financial strength.

Migrants in squalid camps in France get housing upgrade

LOS MOCHIS, Mexico – At 4:40 a.m. in a central neighborhood of the Pacific coast city of Los Mochis, 17 Mexican marines began their assault on a safe house thinking there was a good chance Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman was inside. The operation was dubbed “black swan.” One marine was wounded by gunfire almost immediately and remained outside the interior front door while his comrades slowly advanced inside behind lobbed grenades and heavy fire, according to video from the marines’ helmet cameras released by Mexico’s government Monday. A marine involved in the assault who gave a tour of the house to a reporter from the Mexican network Televisa said there were more people inside than expected and they were more heavily armed, including with rocket-propelled grenades and .50 caliber sniper rifles. On Monday, attorney general Arely Gomez told local radio that people in the house had ordered food for 13 people the night before the raid. One gunman was killed in the main room just inside a front door riddled with bullet holes. On a tour Monday by an Associated Press photographer, the interior of the house looked much the same with bullet holes pocking its white concrete walls. Clothing and food – a wheel of cheese, lots of cans – were scattered throughout, beds were tossed. Blood was smeared on the walls.

VIEW Madigan waiting out Rauner OUR A look at Rauner’s first year

“He has taught us how to deal with him,” explained one top official in Gov. Bruce Rauner’s administration when asked why the governor has once again cranked up his public criticism of Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan. You already might know the governor blasted both Madigan and Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel during an appearance on Dan Proft’s WIND Chicago radio program last week. After accusing Emanuel of being “afraid” to take on Madigan, Rauner said the reason for this was self-evident: “The Speaker has been the most powerful politician in the state of Illinois for decades. It’s the main reason we’re in such big trouble as a state.” Rauner went on to essentially blame Illinois’ “long-term, slow death spiral” on Madigan and said the majority party “likes the status quo,” claiming the House Speaker is “not sensitive” to the real-world problems of the middle class. “He’s got a great system, he controls it. And right now they’re unwilling to change. And without change, we’ll never get a true balanced budget.” So, what the heck happened here? The governor seemed to mute his criticisms of Madigan in the closing weeks of 2015, even mostly holding his fire when Madigan skipped the last leaders’ meeting just before the holidays. New year, new attitude, apparently. The governor has reportedly come to the conclusion that Madigan is not now and may never be willing to negotiate in good faith. Rauner’s basically tired of negotiating against himself – pulling ideas off the table and never seeing any corresponding movement from the other side. And he’s not completely wrong, either – at least about the negotiating part. Madigan’s fellow Democrat Senate President John Cullerton has been trying to find a way to give the Republican Rauner some victories on things like workers’ compensation reform and local government costs. There was, for instance, reportedly more progress on workers’ comp during that non-Madigan leaders’ meeting last month. And Cullerton is reportedly eyeing a recommended compromise from the Illinois Municipal League on binding arbitration for local governments. The idea would allow arbitrators to take into account a government’s fiscal condition when deciding a case. They can’t do that now, so even if their compromise is a ruling forcing the existing status quo on the two sides, that might still be far too costly for a government that has found itself in a fiscal hole. But Madigan is said to want no part of

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

VIEWS

Rich Miller even this smallish proposal. Madigan has raised truly gigantic amounts of money from labor unions in the past few months. Those unions are allowed to give the same amount again after the March 15 primary and Madigan will need all the cash he can stockpile for the fall campaign. So, angering the unions before Madigan’s position is secure appears unlikely. OK, so why did the governor throw his longtime friend Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel under the bus last week? The mayor had apparently indicated to Rauner that he would act as a go-between in the governmental impasse and try to convince Madigan to find a way to compromise. The governor has complained for months that Emanuel is privately saying one thing to him and publicly saying another. And now the governor is convinced that Emanuel has taken sides. The mayor is “hiding behind the Speaker,” the governor told Proft. And then he piled on Emanuel, calling the mayor’s public comments about opposing a federal investigation into the city’s legal department “incredibly disappointing.” “How tone deaf can you be?” Rauner asked rhetorically about a mayor already under intense fire for not doing enough to reform the police department and then turning a blind eye after a federal judge rebuked five lawyers in that office in the past year for withholding evidence in two police misconduct cases, according to the Chicago Tribune. In other words, he’s attempting to punish the mayor for siding with Madigan and punishing Madigan for not cooperating. Will it work? Doubtful, but it’ll help him feel better, for sure, and lock down his base’s support. The governor isn’t exactly a popular guy in the city, and Emanuel has effectively pivoted back on Rauner in public, blaming him for the impasse and accusing him of using the city’s public school students as pawns in an unwinnable game. As for Madigan, his people firmly believe that Rauner has lost the match and has yet to realize it. So, expect them to wait out Rauner – at least for now.

• Rich Miller also publishes Capitol Fax, a daily political newsletter, and CapitolFax. com.

When Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner was sworn into office one year ago, he said: “Each person here today and all those throughout the state will be called upon to share in the sacrifice so that one day we can again share in Illinois’ prosperity. We all must shake up our old ways of thinking.” There was sacrifice in Rauner’s first year as governor, but it did not come from cutbacks and austerity – rather, from things breaking down. It was a year in which Rauner proved adept at disrupting the workings of state government, but not in working with the majority Democrats to pass meaningful legislation that would change the state’s direction. Is our state better off one year into Rauner’s first term than when he took office? The answer is debateable and largely depends on how easy or difficult you expected it would be for Rauner to accomplish his goals. The hope is that through continued commitment to the reforms Rauner is pushing for, it will be. Rauner, a Republican, promised to shake things up in Springfield. No more status quo. He was going to run Illinois like a business and turnaround our state, which continues to deal with unprecedented financial difficulties. Year One for Rauner will be remembered for operating half the year without a state budget, which has led to increased spending through court orders and piecemeal funding, and a lot of pain for the state’s social service agencies, some of which have closed doors they say will not be reopened. The impasse continues into Year Two. Democratic leadership in Springfield, namely House Speaker Mike Madigan, passed a fiscal 2016 budget with a $4 billion deficit between expenses and revenue. Status quo in Illinois. Rauner rejected the budget and the status quo, which he was elected to do. Neither side has budged since

then. Democrats want a combination of cuts and a tax increase to settle the budget deficit. Rauner is open to increasing taxes if he gets his suggested reforms, saying he won’t “put in a significant new tax and change nothing.” Those reforms deal with reducing the cost of doing business in Illinois, limiting the power of unions and establishing term limits for lawmakers. These are the kind of reforms voters elected Rauner to enact. By putting him into office, voters expressed a desire to change how business is conducted in Springfield. To think change would come quickly or without pain, considering power in the General Assembly is held by Democrats Madigan and Senate President John Cullerton, would not be a fair expectation. As his title implies, however, it is Rauner’s responsibility to govern. In Year One under Rauner, Illinois has been more dysfunctional, not less. If Rauner was to be graded for his first year in office, he’d get an incomplete because of the budget impasse and growing pension liability. He touts among his firstyear accomplishments record funding for education, eliminating a $1.6 billion deficit inherited from the previous administration for the last fiscal year, agreeing to new collective bargaining agreements with most state government unions that included merit pay for the most productive employees and landmark public safety legislation. There’s no doubt the state needs a budget. It needed a budget seven months ago. There’s no doubt Rauner and Republican leadership along with Madigan and Democratic leadership need to treat the situation with more urgency. In his first year, Rauner has made good on his promise to shake things up. In his second, he needs to show he also can work with the Legislature to create a new order that works for the people of Illinois.

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.

BOYS BASKETBALL: LINCOLN-WAY-CENTRAL 71, BLOOM TOWNSHIP 59

Team play huge in L-W Central’s win By KAITLYN JASNICA kjasnica@shawmedia.com NEW LENOX – Going into the final quarter of Monday’s game, Lincoln-Way Central’s boys basketball team clung to a narrow 48-45 lead over Bloom Township. But this wasn’t just any regular nonconference game. So far this season, the Knights have not lost a home game and have not lost back-to-back

games. Instead of crumbling under all of that pressure, Central did the opposite. The Knights outscored Bloom, 24-14, in the fourth quarter to pick up a 7159 win. “We haven’t lost two games back-to-back this year,” Mikey Koszela said. “We had a pretty bad loss Friday to Thornton so we were looking to bounce back against a good athletic team. We all played good.”

“This year, we’ve been up by a lot in the third quarter and the fourth and we’ve blown leads,” Mitchell Kwasigroch said. “Tonight, we wanted to prove we’re not that team. We’re not going to blow leads every game. We fought. Credit to the guys in the locker room. We pulled through.” Three things helped Central (11-3, 2-2) pull through, with the first two being closely related. Central played self-

lessly and let its well-rounded attack take care of business. While Bloom had individuals who kept forcing shots, the Knights always looked for the open man. A perfect example is when Jarret Gmazel rebounded a ball and drove all the way to the other basket. Instead of attempting an easy layup, he passed to Koszela, who scored his 21st point. Koszela wasn’t the only Knight to dominate offensive-

ly. Gmazel and Isaac Panfil both scored 13, while Kwasigroch finished with 12 and Deshaun Veal tallied nine points. Both Isaiah Malone and Aaron Michalak added two points. The way Central moved the ball fluidly is what made the difference. Instead of relying on individual skill, it combined efforts and made each other look even better.

BOYS BASKETBALL: MINOOKA 44, MAINE SOUTH 37

Minooka beats Maine South, 6-11 center By DICK GOSS dgoss@shawmedia.com CHANNAHON – Minooka junior guard Jon Butler admitted, “I’m not going to lie, it was a little boring. But we got the win.” Butler and Nick Clemmons did the heavy damage in the third quarter, sparking a 9-0 run that gave the Indians a 27-19 lead they would not relinquish Monday night en route to a 44-37 victory over Maine South in an off-site, opening-round game in the Galesburg MLK Tournament. The Hawks (12-4) sat in their 2-3 zone, anchored by 6-foot-11, 270-pound center Brad Perry. Minooka (115), which is adept at playing good defense and working the ball on offense until a good

shot arrives, was up to the challenge. “It was a lot slower than most of our games, but it was still fun,” Indians senior forward Joe Butler said. Butler had the assignment of guarding Perry as much as anyone in the home white. So did John Carnagio and Blake Parzych when they got their opportunities. Perry missed his first five shots before hitting his last two and finished with seven points to go with eight rebounds. “I had to use all my muscle down there against a guy his size,” Joe Butler said of Perry. “We tried to put a lot of pressure on him. I’d like to say it was because of us that he struggled to get the ball in the basket.” “Our defense was out-

standing the whole game,” Minooka coach Scott Tanaka said. “Then Keegan Graebner knocked down big shots in fourth quarter and we made our free throws late. “We expended so much energy on the defensive side that we had to be patient on offense. The kids did a great job sticking with the game plan. I’m so happy. All we wanted to do is win, however we had to do it.” Tanaka said Maine South is a perennial 20-win team and well coached. “We had one day of practice to prepare for them, to go against a defense we aren’t used to seeing,” he said. “Our bench got us ready, and they deserve a lot of credit for this victory. They were huge.” Minooka led, 9-8, after one

quarter and 18-17 at half. After Maine South scored the first two points of the third quarter, the Indians embarked on the decisive 9-0 run as the Hawks went more than six minutes without scoring. Clemmons began the run with a 3-pointer. Jon Butler hit a free throw, Joe Butler tipped home a rebound and Jon Butler hit a layup and free throw after an assist from Joe Butler that followed a Maine South turnover. The Hawks got back within five points four times in the fourth quarter but never got closer thanks to Graebner’s 3-pointers, Jon Butler setting up Clemmons twice for layups and the Indians’ foul shooting. Joe Butler finished with 14 points. Clemmons had nine,

all in the second half. Larry Roberts chipped in eight, Jon Butler seven and Graebner six. Joe Butler also had six rebounds. Minooka shot 53.8 percent from the field on 14of-26 shooting. The Indians also were 7 of 11 from 3-point range, with Roberts, Joe Butler, Clemmons and Graebner all joining in the 3-point fest. “We knew if we could keep them in the 30s, we could win,” Jon Butler said. “We wanted to get the big guy in foul trouble early, but we didn’t. It did get easier when Larry, Joe, Nick and Keegan hit a bunch of 3s.” “It’s a real blessing for us to have all the shooters we have,” Joe Butler said. “Keegan stepped up and hit a couple of big ones.”

Gmazel goes a perfect at free-throw line in 4th • BASKETBALL Continued from page 19 “That’s just how we play,” Koszela said. “Those players are probably more individually- skilled. If we were to go 1-on-1 with each of those guys, I’m sure we’d get smoked. They’re faster. They’re more athletic. They’re probably better shooters, but that’s how we go in practice. We learn how to play with each other. We learn how to get each other open, and I think we did a really good job of that tonight.” “Most of the time, we have five guys out there that can score,” Knights coach Bob Curran said. “Even the guys off the bench. I think we played seven guys tonight and all seven can get us double-digit points. I agree 100 percent that they did a great job sharing the basketball.” Discipline and composure is the final thing that put the nail in the coffin. Instead of playing into the Larry W.

out and never took a lead for granted. It expected Bloom to come back despite any lead, so the Knights never looked panicked. From early in the game when Panfil converted a steal to a layup to when Gmazel went 8 of 8 from the free-throw line in the fourth quarter, the feel on the court was the same. Central looked like it was going to win from the beginning until the end. The Knights had a confidence on the floor that never disappeared. Defensively, the Knights played solid and only Rodney Hayes (17 points) put up big numbers for Bloom. Koszela had three blocks and Panfil had two steals and a block. After the solid team victory, the Knights are focused on another home game. Central hosts Lincoln-Way North at 6 p.m. Friday. “We’re playing North at home Friday,” Kwasigroch said. “We don’t want to lose at home this year, and, hopefully, we can keep that streak alive. We’ll have to work in practice throughout the week and get better.”

COLLEGE FOOTBALL PLAYOFF NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP GAME

Editor’s note: The College Football Playoff National Championship Game did not finish before press time. Head to www. theherald-news.com to read how Monday’s game finished. By RICHARD ROSENBLATT The Associated Press GLENDALE, Ariz. – The latest developments from the College Football Playoff national championship game between Clemson and Alabama:

ALABAMA 38, CLEMSON 33

• Tuesday, January 12, 2016

Undeterred by a kickoff return for a touchdown, Deshaun Watson led Clemson back with a 15-yard touchdown pass to Artavius Scott to cut the Alabama lead to 38-33 with under five minutes left in the national title game. Watson has thrown three TD passes, but his run on a 2-point conversion try failed, leaving Clemson five points down.

ALABAMA 38. CLEMSON 27

Oh my, is Alabama on a roll in the national title game. Kenyan Drake electrified the crowd with a 95-yard kickoff return to give Alabama a 38-27 lead over Clemson in the national championship game more than midway through the fourth quarter. Drake took the kickoff following a field goal that narrowed Alabama’s lead to four points and raced along the sideline as the Crimson crowd stood and cheered him on. The kickoff came only minutes after an onside kick set up Jake Coker’s 51-yard touchdown pass to O.J. Howard to put the Ride ahead 31-24.

No shakeup despite losses at the top Our No. 1-ranked boys basketball team lost at Homewood-Flossmoor, 70-47. The No. 2-ranked team lost at Thornton, 77-57, after also falling to the Wildcats in the semifinals of the Big Dipper Christmas tournament. The Nos. 3 through 6 teams won their only game or games last week. Seems like the perfect scenario for a shakeup in the Herald-News rankings of the top 10 large schools in the area. Instead, however, things are very much the same as they were last week. That’s because getting spanked at Homewood-Flossmoor, as happened to No. 1 Joliet West, or at Thornton, which whipped No 2 Lincoln-Way Central, can happen to anyone. The key for the Tigers and Knights will be to bounce back and show belong at the top. Lurking closely behind are Joliet Catholic, Lincoln-Way West, Joliet

Central and Minooka, any of which can move up as the season progresses. It depends largely on how they fare against their tough opponents, and whether they can avoid “bad losses.” As pointed out last week, the balance in the area this season is remarkable. Meanwhile, we’re still thinking Joliet West belongs in the top spot, with Lincoln-Way Central in at No. 2. The records in the rankings below, incidentally, are through the weekend. Not included are two Monday night games, Lincoln-Way Central against Bloom and Minooka against Maine South. Next week, we will publish our rankings later in the week so as to incorporate the games played Monday, which is Martin Luther King Day. 1. Joliet West (10-4): Yes, the Tigers took one on the chin at Homewood-Flossmoor, but that fate has met many a good team over the years. West has not necessar-

VIEWS Dick Goss ily been consistent but is No. 1 nonetheless.

2. Lincoln-Way Central (103): Hopefully, the Knights

are finished with Thornton. Otherwise, coach Bob Curran’s team has been enjoying an excellent season, getting key contributions from everywhere on the floor. 3. Joliet Catholic (11-2): The Hilltoppers have some tough assignments on the horizon. Meanwhile, they are winning games they should win, which always is a positive. Luke Mander, Pete Ragen and Donavan Finch are making the Hilltoppers competitive around the basket.

4. Lincoln-Way West (8-4):

The Warriors are taking on the look of a team that could move up in the rankings sometime soon. Marco Pettinato and Jon Marotta are an experienced 1-2 punch.

5. Joliet Central (7-6): The Steelmen finished 2015 on a downer but began 2016 with an impressive victory at Lincoln-Way East. Pound for pound and inch for inch, Malik Fuller is one of the toughest players in the area. 6. Minooka (10-5): The Indians are busy over the next week. After facing Maine South on Monday night in the off-site opener in the Galesburg MLK Tournament, Minooka has conference games Tuesday and Friday (the latter matchup against league leader Oswego, no less), then two games Saturday and two Monday at Galesburg. 7. Plainfield North (8-7): The Tigers were beginning to roll but then fell last weekend to Romeoville in the Southwest Prairie Conference and to nonconference foe Deerfield despite Kevin Krieger’s 38 points. North gets a shot at Oswego on Tuesday night. 8. Bolingbrook (5-7): Coach Rob Brost said the Raiders clearly are getting better

and will be a good team by season’s end. No reason to doubt him. 9. Lemont (10-4): The Indians got the second half of the schedule going in the right direction with a 75-70 victory over Evergreen Park. 10. Romeoville (6-8): The Spartans shook off the effects of a four-game losing streak and beat Plainfield North, 56-55, on Mike Salter’s layup in the closing seconds. Coach Marc Howard’s talented team is young, but he said it is time to quit using that as an excuse. Lockport was in the top 10 last week and can find its way back. Lemont moved up to ninth and Romeoville joined the top 10 with its win over Plainfield North. Plainfield East is capable of moving into the top 10 down the road. By next week, who knows?

PLAINFIELD CENTRAL FOOTBALL

Pereiro named football coach at Plainfield Central By DICK GOSS dgoss@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – Plainfield Central has not won a football game since late in the 2012 season, when the Wildcats qualified for the playoffs. Jon Pereiro, who was approved Monday night by the District 202 board as the school’s new head football coach, said he believes in installing a new mentality. “While this losing streak has been going on, I feel a lot of the kids have been worried about what the score would be at end of a game, and what the score was at different times during the game,” Pereiro said. “What we want to do is not worry about the score, instead win the next play and move on. “That’s what we will call ‘the process.’ Get away from the final score and put the emphasis on winning that play. If we do that, the results

will follow.” Pereiro has been in former coach John Jackson’s football program all four years since his arrival at Plainfield Central, the past two as the head freshman coach. He also is Plainfield Central’s boys track and field coach. The Wildcats finished sixth at the state meet in 2014 and fourth in 2015 under his direction, and he has coached seven individual state champions. “Jon is an outstanding human being and a great leader,” Central athletic director Dave Stephens said. “The leadership comes natural to him, and he is extremely well organized. He has done an amazing job with our track program. “He has all the tools, all the elements, to make him an outstanding football coach.” A native of Orland Park, Pereiro played football and competed in wrestling and

track and field at Sandburg. Football was his first love, however. “No doubt, football is a passion,” he said. He received a football scholarship from Miami (Ohio) and completed his playing career at Loras College, where he was an All-IoJon Pereiro wa Intercollegiate Conference center in 2007 and 2008. After graduating from Loras, Pereiro spent two years teaching and coaching football at Cascade High School in Cascade, Iowa. As defensive coordinator at Cascade, his teams qualified for two state quarterfinal berths. Although the victories have been sparse for Plainfield Central, Pereiro said he believes the foundation for

success is in place. “I’m looking now at getting a good understanding of where the program is and where it can be,” Pereiro said. “That’s what I am going to talk to the kids about. “These kids have lost games, but there are not losers in the program. Every year when we have fallen on tough times, you see there are kids out there who don’t quit.” Being a former offensive lineman, Pereiro said he believes in the running game. “That sets the tempo,” he said. He said he is excited to compete in the Southwest Prairie Conference. “The conference has great programs and great coaches,” he said. “We want to rebuild a program that competes in that conference. We plan to rebrand the program a bit. We want an image where this is a program where success is

demanded.” Pereiro will coach track and field this spring and then see whether he continues coaching both sports. Meanwhile, he will talk to athletes about the value of competing in multiple sports. “I want multi-sport athletes on my team,” he said. “I want kids willing to compete outside their comfort zone a little. I don’t want kids to hide in the weight room nine months a year. “I saw a statistic where the 87 percent of Alabama’s football players and 86 percent of Clemson’s were multi-sport athletes in high school. Sixty percent of Clemson’s players and 59 percent of Alabama’s competed in track. Those are powerful statistics.” Pereiro is in the Social Studies department at Central and teaches AP Psychology. He and his wife, Megan, have a 1-year-old son, Noah.

up with the Quincy Regional winner, where Edwardsville looks like the teams to beat. And in Class 1A, Coal City, last year’s third-place finisher, is favored to win its own regional title and then beat the Lisle Regional winner in the dual team sectional at Wilmington.

VIEWS Curt Herron champion Montini. The past two years they’ve fallen in the sectional to the teams that placed second, Geneseo and Washington. And then in 2013, when West finally reached the quarterfinals, it fell to another title team from Montini. It looked like this might be the year for coach Brian Glynn’s program because it was ranked behind only Washington and Mount Carmel. But another case of bad luck likely will deny it of even getting to state. West already knew it was in the LaSalle-Peru dual team sectional with Washington, but the IHSA finally announced the pairings last week. At the time, only three of the four regional hosts were known, with the other still to be determined. Washington was in a regional at East Peoria, West got its own regional and another was at Rochelle. The IHSA’s draw, based on the city and school name of the regional hosts, was therefore incomplete because it wasn’t clear which teams would meet. But three days later, Peoria Notre Dame was announced as the other regional host. As a result, the

I’ve got a great idea for deciding how a team qualifies for the state finals – start with a format that changes during the tournament and determine matchups according to a flexible alphabetical order of schools. Does that sound crazy? Not according to the IHSA. Although the IHSA has gone to great lengths to make sure its football playoffs are based on seeds according to wins, in other sports, it comes down to arbitrary lines on a map and letters in the alphabet. And no state tournament the IHSA runs is as flawed as its dual team series in wrestling. The start of the dual teams series is not determined by an elimination process, but rather by scored individual regional tournaments. And the process to find out who advances to state is just as absurd, pairing teams based on their official IHSA name, the city followed by school. It’s hard to imagine that there’s a school that’s been victimized more by this silliness than Lincoln-Way West, which has been ranked among the top Class 2A teams during the past few years but has little to show for it. In 2011 and 2012, the Warriors were beaten in the sectional by eventual state

SPORTS BRIEF

Banged-up Wizards beat Bulls By JAY COHEN The Associated Press CHICAGO – John Wall had 17 points and 10 assists to help the banged-up Washington Wizards pull away from the Bulls for a 114-100 victory Monday night. Washington had seven players score in double figures in its second straight win after a stretch of five losses in six games. Ramon Sessions had 16 points, and Garrett Temple, Otto Porter Jr. and Nene scored 14 apiece. The Wizards led by as many as 18 points while playing without key performers Marcin Gortat, Kris Humphries and Bradley Beal. Gortat was scratched with a sore left knee, Humphries missed his fourth straight

game with a sore right knee and Beal remains out due to a stress reaction in his lower right leg. Derrick Rose scored 23 points in the first of four games in five nights for the Bulls. Jimmy Butler had 19 points and seven assists, and Pau Gasol added 15 points and 10 rebounds. Bulls center Joakim Noah had no points and nine rebounds in a less than 19 minutes in his return from a left shoulder sprain. It was Noah’s first game since he got hurt in the third quarter of a 105-102 loss Dec. 21 to Brooklyn. Noah was blocked from behind by Wall with 2:19 left in the third quarter, and then grabbed his shoulder after he hit the ground. But he stayed in the game.

Doug McDermott’s fourpoint play got the Bulls within four with 9:34 left, but Washington responded with a 13-2 run to put it away. Sessions capped the surge with a layup that made it 102-87 with 5:56 to go. Gary Neal added 11 points for Washington, and Drew Gooden finished with 10 points and 12 rebounds. Jared Dudley made a 3-pointer and passed to a cutting Nene for a dunk early in the third, helping the Wizards open a 67-50 lead. But the Bulls ripped off 13 of the next 15 points. Rose converted a threepoint play and Butler had a steal and a dunk before Dudley got Washington back on track with a 3-pointer for a 72-63 lead with 6:48 left in the quarter.

Bears promote Loggains to offensive coordinator The Bears needed only two days to name their new offensive coordinator, and they promoted quarterbacks coach Dowell Loggains to the position. Loggains helped Jay Cutler to a career-high 92.3 passer rating and the fewest interceptions he had thrown in a season with at least 15 games played. Loggains replaces Adam Gase, who was hired as the Dolphins’ coach Saturday. At the University of Arkansas, Loggains was the team’s holder and backup quarterback, appearing in 50 games. Cutler has known Loggains for a while, as the quarterback wanted Loggains to join the Bears as an assistant after 2011, according to an ESPN Chicago report at the time. Cutler spoke highly of Loggains throughout the season. – Staff reports

WHEN MEDICINES PUSH BACK Morris Hospital pharmacist: Patients shouldn’t excuse reactions

This is the first in a twopart series about prescription drug medicines. The second installment about antibiotic resistance is scheduled to run Jan. 19.

By JEANNE MILLSAP Shaw Media Correspondent JOLIET – Timothy Baran wasn’t sure what was happening December when he woke up with a sore mouth. It was particularly painful underneath his tongue, but his tongue itself, his cheeks and his palate also hurt. The 25-year-old from Joliet previously had experienced something similar – some mouth soreness and what he thought was a canker sore – but not as severe. He had thought at the time it was because of a new toothbrush. This time, however, things went to a different level. At first, it was soreness and a dry mouth. It progressed quickly throughout the day. “It was like canker sores,” Baran said, “but at the same time, it was like I had burned myself and my skin was peeling away. ... I could hardly open my mouth.” He had an odd rash on his torso that was a purplish color. By the end of the day, Baran was in the emergency room. He had been taking the commonly-prescribed medication Bactrim, which is a combination of the antibiotics sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim. After going to the hospital, Baran was taken off the drug, prescribed antihistamines, steroids and a liquid numbing agent for his mouth. He was diagnosed with Stevens-Johnson Syndrome, which was confirmed two days later by his primary physician. According to the U.S. National Library of Medicine, Stevens-Johnson Syndrome, or toxic epidermal necrolysis, is a severe, life-threatening skin reaction most often triggered by medications. The resulting skin damage

About 10 percent of people who have it die as a result. Baran is lucky. A couple weeks later, he was back to normal. “I feel very blessed,” Baran said. “I had a very, very mild case of it.” Morris Hospital pharmacist Rebecca Capshaw said many people take prescription side effects with a grain of salt – but they shouldn’t. “It’s very easy for us to make excuses for what’s going on,” Capshaw said. “Rashes could be absolutely nothing, but it takes the trained eye of a physician to know that. ... I’m shocked to see how often people wait to call their physician.” Doctors and pharmacists normally warn patients of common side effects new medications might cause, she said, but patients also should read the more comprehensive

said, “and the person can go into shock.” Even achy muscles can be a symptom of a potentially severe reaction to some statin medications, she said, leading to rhabdomyolysis, or the breakdown of muscle cells. The resulting byproducts of the muscle breakdown can lead to renal failure. Other medications, Capshaw said, such as Accutane, can even lead to suicidal thoughts. According to the U.S. National Library of Medicine, certain antibiotics, when combined with even small amounts of alcohol, can lead to severe side effects. Sometimes, physicians may not recognize that symptoms patients are having are because of a drug reaction, Capshaw added. They might prescribe an additional drug to treat the symptoms of the first drug, which is called a drug cascade.

Morris Hospital Auxiliary receives $158,000 in support at annual gala The HERALD-NEWS MORRIS – The Morris Hospital Auxiliary raised more than $158,000 in net proceeds toward a new youth cardiac screening program at one of the most successful charity galas in the event’s 47-year history. The 2015 Morris Hospital Auxiliary Charity Gala was Nov. 14 at Jennifer’s Garden in Morris, with 400 guests in attendance. Special guests at the Morris Hospital Auxiliary Gala included three families who lost a child to sudden cardiac death, including Brenda Walsh, a nurse at Morris Hospital, whose son Kaleb died unexpectedly in 2011 at the age of 14. Walsh shared Kaleb’s story through a video presentation that was shown at the gala.

Lead gifts of $5,000 each were donated by the Morris Hospital medical staff, Dr. John and Judie Roth, and the Morris Hospital senior leadership team. Anesthesia Consultants gave a lead gift of $1,500, Strategic Sourcing gave a lead gift of $1,000, and At Home Quality Care gave a lead gift of $500. The gala also featured welcoming comments from Morris Hospital Board Chair Kelly Beaty; an invocation by Karen and Jack Hynds, friends of the Morris Hospital Auxiliary and Foundation; and a delicious meal. Three recently retired physicians were present and were acknowledged for their long-time service to Morris Hospital: Dr. Cesario Cumba, Dr. Joongcik Cho, and Dr. John Roth, Jr. Dr. Il B. Kim also was recognized but was not present.

Silver Cross article in online publication

NEW LENOX – Silver Cross Hospital in New Lenox, IL is the subject of a story on the home page of the nationally acclaimed New England Journal of Medicine’s new online publication, which debuted Dec. 11. The article, titled “Why Our Independent Hospital Chose Partnerships Over a Merger,” written by Silver Cross Hospital’s President and CEO Paul Pawlak, and Senior Vice President of Business Development and CSO Ruth Colby, explains why the hospital chose to form clinical partnerships with renowned academic facilities including Lurie Children’s Hospital, The Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago, University of Chicago Medicine’s Comprehensive Cancer Center and Cadence/ Northwestern Medicine for neurosciences. Pawlak and Colby also address other partnerships including Silver Cross’ clinical affiliation with Advocate Physician Partners – an accountable care organization; the Silver Cross Medical Staff for participation in the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid’s Bundled Payments for Care Improvement initiative; and more than 100 local businesses through the Silver Cross I Matter program, which rewards women for getting their regular health screenings. In addition, the Silver Cross article also was posted on the Harvard Business Review website at https://hbr.org/2015/12/ making-hospital-partnerships-work. – The Herald-News

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Mahatma Gandhi said, “Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.” North and South were happy at the end of this deal. Look only at the North hand. Your partner opens one heart, you respond one spade, he rebids two diamonds, and you jump to three no-trump, thinking that will end the auction. But no, partner raises to four no-trump. Do you feel called upon to do anything now? Note that four no-trump was not asking for aces. If South were that strong, he would not have rebid a nonforcing two diamonds. Four no-trump was quantitative, indicating some 16 or 17 points. Then perhaps you will think that with only 13 points, you do not have the values for a slam. However, you have two aces, the heart king, and three 10s – all excellent cards. So David Bakhshi from England jumped to six hearts. This showed high-honor-doubleton in hearts, because with three, North would have supported that suit earlier. Andrew McIntosh (South) passed with such strong hearts. They had reached a fair slam that got better when West did not lead a spade. He chose instead the club seven. South won with dummy’s queen and took the diamond finesse. When it won, declarer cashed his diamond ace and ruffed a diamond with the heart nine. East overruffed with the 10 and returned a trump to stop a second diamond ruff. South returned to his hand with a club, drew trumps, crossed to dummy with a spade, and cashed the club ace. When the jack dropped, declarer claimed these 12 tricks: one spade, five hearts, two diamonds and four clubs.

AAA are men ages 65 to 75 who have ever smoked, or who have a first-degree (parent or sibling) relative who has had an AAA repair (or died from a ruptured AAA). Smaller AAAs are monitored with regular ultrasound tests. The larger the AAA is, and the faster it grows, the greater the risk that it will rupture. When an AAA ruptures, it causes massive bleeding inside the abdomen. The odds of survival are pretty low. So when an AAA reaches a size that is likely to rupture, it should be repaired. Until recent years, repair of an AAA involved major surgery. Surgeons opened the abdomen, cut out the diseased section of the aorta, and replaced it with a synthetic tube (typically made of polyester). Today, most AAAs are treated with a minimally invasive procedure known as endovascular repair. The surgeon passes a catheter through a small incision in the leg and threads it into the aorta to reach the AAA. A fabric-coated stent is then put in place to reinforce the bulging aorta, which seals around it. To avoid an AAA, the same advice for preventing heart disease applies: • Don’t smoke; • Eat a healthy diet; • Exercise regularly; • Keep your blood pressure and cholesterol in a healthy range. These habits are also vital if you already have an AAA, because you’ll want to be as healthy as possible if you end up needing surgery.

Dear Dr. K: I had pain in my abdomen, so my doctor did an ultrasound to check for gallstones. It turns out I have an abdominal aortic aneurysm. What is that? Dear Reader: The aorta is the body’s largest artery. It carries oxygen-rich blood from the heart to every part of the body. The aorta curves out of the heart and through the chest, then passes down the center of the body before dividing into the arteries that serve the legs. An aneurysm is an abnormal swelling and weakening in an artery. An aneurysm that occurs in the aorta as it passes through the middle of the body is called an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). Like other blood vessels, the aorta can develop atherosclerosis. Harmful cholesterol-filled plaques form, damaging and weakening the artery wall. The constant pressure of blood flowing through the aorta – which is worse in people with high blood pressure – can cause the artery’s wall to bulge where there is a weak spot. (I’ve put an illustration on my website, askdoctork.com.) The majority of AAAs grow very slowly and don’t cause any symptoms. Most AAAs are found by chance during an imaging test performed for another reason, as yours was. Rarely, AAAs cause symptoms such as a deep pain or a throbbing sensation in the back or the side of the abdomen. An imaging test – an ultrasound, CT or MRI scan – then is ordered, which reveals the AAA. Because AAAs are quite unusual except in high-risk groups, routine imaging studies are not recommended. However, in high-risk groups, screening with ultrasound is recommended. People at high risk for an

I have a good job and have been living independently since I was 19. Edward is 31, divorced and has two children (ages 5 and 8). Because of his children and marital status, my parents refuse to even meet him. They claim I’m making a terrible mistake being involved with someone with so much “baggage.” I am very close to my parents, and their reaction is hurtful. This is the happiest I have been in a long time in a relationship, maybe ever. Neither Edward’s children nor the fact he’s divorced is an issue for me. I’ve met his children and enjoy spending time with them. He has a civil relationship with his ex-wife, who also has a new partner. Do you think my parents’ reaction is fair? Do you think in time they’ll come around? – Bittersweet In

your parents’ reaction is fair or not is beside the point. Their feelings are their feelings. The relationship you have with Edward is new, and where it might lead is anybody’s guess. If it lasts, your parents might come around. But as an adult, the choice of whom you date or will one day marry should be yours and no one else’s. • Write Dear Abby at www.dearabby.com or P.O.

Dear Abby: My husband has developed a bad case of periodontal disease. I’m afraid to kiss him because I don’t want the bacteria causing the disease to spread, and his bad breath is unbearable. Our sex life is suffering because of it. We have two beautiful children together, and I love him very much – even if he loses all his teeth at the age of 37. I have explained how extremely important oral hygiene is to overall health, especially heart health, and how his unwillingness to deal with this sends the wrong message to our kids. He simply refuses or conveniently “forgets.” When I asked him why, he said his mother traumatized him about it as a child. My children are starting to take notice now. My daughter doesn’t want to go near him, and my son thinks it’s OK to not brush his teeth because his father doesn’t. As you can see, this is disrupting our family. What kind of advice could I give him to get him to start taking care of his mouth? –
