JOLIET – The Joliet City Council vot-ed, 7-1, Tuesday night authorizing staff to apply for a low-interest loan through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to possibly finance Ever-green Terrace renovations and other city development projects.
Councilman Larry Hug was the lone ‘no’ vote.
Action Tuesday night authorizes city staff to apply through HUD for up to $4.8 million through the federal authority’s Section 108 loan program. As part of the process, the city had to update its 2015-19 annual HUD action plan.
Evergreen Terrace is the only project specifically mentioned in loan application documents, but Councilwoman Jan Quill-man on Tuesday distanced herself from the idea of solely using those dollars to finance the housing complex.
She argued there were “misconcep-tions” made by the public based on recent media reports. People had the impression
that the dollars “would strictly be used for Evergreen Terrace, so we need to clarify that,” she said.
“To be clear … it is the only project named,” Hug argued. “We’ve talked about it no less than a dozen times in the last two years, that we’re going to use [Community Development Block Grant dollars], partic-ularly the money they held back from us, for Evergreen.”
Alfredo Melesio, neighborhood ser-vices director for the city, said the funds may or may not be used for Evergreen Terrace.
“Because of our history with Ever-green Terrace, we wanted to make it clear in any publication that we do that Ever-green Terrace is a possibility,” Melesio said. “However, there’s a lot of excitement around other projects … like a potential hospital project, things in downtown, things in more historic corridors. The job creation activities that we talked about last evening are all possibilities as well.”
Any project funded through the pro-gram must meet HUD’s Section 108 Loan criteria.
Mayor Bob O’Dekirk said “there’s no viable plan” yet for Evergreen renova-tions on the table.
“We still don’t have access to the prop-erty. We’re working with HUD. We think that’s going to change,” O’Dekirk said. “At this point, I don’t know what the plans are for Evergreen Terrace. I don’t think anyone does.”
In other news, the City Council ap-proved:
• $275,000 in additional road resurfac-ing work because of bids coming in below estimates.
• $214,216 Phase I engineering contract with Civiltech Inc. for the Essington Road widening between Jefferson Street and Black Road.
• Intergovernmental agreement with Metra for a $99,000 grant from the com-muter rail system to help pay for compo-nents of the Joliet Regional Multimodal Transportation project.
• $35,483 Phase I and II engineering con-tract with Willett, Hofmann & Associates Inc. for repair work on the Washington Street bridge over Hickory Creek.

JOLIET – The Joliet High School Dis-trict 204 board approved bringing in an at-torney to review hiring and promotional practices amid concerns over the diversity of the district staff.
The proposal at Tuesday’s meeting was met with criticism from some residents who came as well as board member R. Dale Evans, who said he wanted to see a Request For Proposal for the work to see who else could do it.
Superintendent Cheryl McCarthy said there were concerns that the upcoming strategic planning sessions later this year was a long time to address potential issues with hiring and promotional and practices.
The attorney José Behar – who would perform what was called the hiring and promotional practice audit – said he could do the job for an estimated amount be-tween $35,000 to $45,000 for potentially 60 to 90 days.
“If this is something the board would like to consider, this is something that we
can use for the results at the strategic plan-ning session in August,” McCarthy said.
Evans said typically an RFP is put out for a proposal this large.
“This is a substantial amount of tax dol-lars,” he said.
Behar said he hasn’t conducted this kind of audit for school districts, but he did similar tasks for nonprofit organizers and agencies, and he reviewed policies and practices to determine discriminatory im-pact or implicit bias in hiring procedures.
The board approved the proposal, with Evans as the only dissenting vote. Board member Arlene Albert was absent.
In past months, concerns over the diver-sity of District 204 staff have been raised at board meetings. The district and com-munity members met in March to discuss hiring processes and equal employment opportunities.
Those concerns came up again during discussion over the vote to approve Robert Abrams as the assistant principal for stu-dent services at Central campus.
Evans said in consideration of the con-cerns over the lack of diverse staffing, the
district needs to review its hiring practic-es.
Board Vice President Tracy Spesia said she agreed with the frustrations and that more diversity is needed but that it was im-portant the board supported McCarthy’s recommendations.
“Alongside that, that we hire people and outside external auditors to ensure that our practices are equal,” Spesia said.
Board President Jeff Pierson asked Mc-Carthy to talk about the hiring process for the assistant principal position and she de-scribed it, saying it was important to seek out a person with expertise in the tasks the position required.
The board approved Abrams’ hiring, with Evans voting against it.
Residents who spoke at public comment were critical of the audit proposal and raised concerns, as well as the diversity of staffing and board procedures.
“Why would the board hire someone who openly stated that they never per-formed this task before?” Joliet resident Jimmie Faye Cartwright asked about the audit proposal.

JOLIET – Kathy Copen has at-tended a handful of Joliet Slammers games every year since Silver Cross Field opened in 2002.
As Copen walked at 6 p.m. Tues-day through the gates of Silver Cross Field for the 2016 Slammers home opener, it marked the 15th consecu-tive season she has attended a game at the park.
She said she enjoys the atmosphere of a professional baseball game with-out having to travel too far from her home in Homer Glen.
“It’s close to home, but it has a big ballpark kind of feel,” Copen
said. “The players are having a good time;they’re not making a lot of mon-ey like in [Major League Baseball].”
Copen was seated in the last row, one section to the left of home plate. She’s sat all over the park, but these are her favorite seats. There’s easy ac-cess to the concourse and shelter from potential rains and hot summer sun
provided by the second deck above.“I like this spot the best,” Copen
said as she pointed down the right field line. “In the summer, it gets hot over that way.”
But no matter where you sit, you might see someone you know, she said. As people still were filing into the park, she already had seen a co-
worker.The draw for fans that keep com-
ing back year after year appears to be family-friendly fun and affordability. This year, Copen bought a six-game ticket package. She prefers to attend Friday night games for the fireworks.
Although she’s a White Sox fan, making the drive to U.S. Cellular Field takes more time and money. Copen said the Slammers’ game at-mosphere has improved over the past few years.
She also noted the success of fan promotions, such as “Princess Night,” which drew a big crowd last year.

Will County Sheriff’s Office honors employeesBy BRIAN STANLEY
JOLIET – The Will County Sheriff’s Office on Tuesday recognized several deputies and employees for outstand-ing service and bravery.
“I think anybody who’s been on this department for more than five minutes can recognize [the quality] of people we have,” Sheriff Mike Kel-ley told guests at a banquet held at 176 West in Joliet.
Jim Reilly was named Deputy of the Year for making the most self-ini-tiated arrests for illegal drugs and firearms of all patrol deputies.
“I have a lot of respect for this de-
partment. I think there’s a lot of talent here,” Reilly said.
Ahmud Shalabi was selected as Correctional Officer of the Year. A 20-year veteran of the Oakland, Cali-fornia, police, Shalabi shows “an ex-emplary work ethic, proficiency and enthusiasm,” Kelley said.
Twenty-six-year department veter-an Sgt. Vince Gambino was named Su-
pervisor of the Year. Since taking over the traffic division last year, Gambino has updated equipment and vehicles and developed new field training man-uals and promotional exams.
Lt. Gina Marotta was named Cor-rectional Supervisor of the Year and administrative clerk Kim Adam was Civilian Employee of the Year.
Telecommunicator Kathy Wilson
and IT coordinator Steve Caruso re-ceived Civilian Service Awards. Lts. Steve Talmontas and Dorris Jordan were honored for supervisory excel-lence, Eric Brock was named Aux-iliary Deputy of the Year and Don Grabinski was named Auxiliary Su-pervisor of the Year.
Deputy Paul Reyes received a life-saving award for performing CPR on an 88-year-old woman discovered last July in her Joliet Township res-idence.
Court security officer Pete Vasili-ades received a lifesaving award for performing CPR when a woman suf-fered a life-threatening heart embo-lism at the Will County Courthouse.

“The food has gotten better,” Co-pen said. “There’s more variety.”
She encouraged people in the Jo-liet area to come to the park for “de-cent baseball that doesn’t cost a for-tune.”
Rich Reneau and his son, Evan, were doing just that. Evan, 10, is on a youth baseball team from the Lock-port Park District that was in atten-dance Tuesday night. Reneau agreed that Slammers games provide afford-able family fun.
“And it’s only a dollar for park-ing,” said Reneau, of Romeoville.
Reneau said he and his son have been to three or four games over the past few years. Two players auto-
graphed Evan’s hat Tuesday, adding to a couple he collected last year.
Going to the game was a bit of a surprise for Evan.
“[Evan] just about jumped off the couch when I told him earlier,” Re-neau said.
Reneau said he wanted to make sure it was all right with his daughter – who had a choir concert at the same time – for the father and son to attend the game. Luckily for them, she was OK with it.
“It’s a really cool experience,” Evan said. “It’s fun to watch the Slam-mers play baseball.”
As with any weeknight out with Evan, Reneau had to keep in mind it was a school night.
“We’ll probably leave a little bit early,” he said. “Plus, I work tomor-row, too.”

JOLIET – A Joliet man was sen-tenced Tuesday to life in prison after stabbing a woman to death two years ago in an Evergreen Terrace laundry room.
“I’ve no comfort level that I could ever let you out of pris-on again,” Judge Carla Alessio Policandriotes told Drumaine S. McKin-ley.
A jury found McKin-ley guilty in March of first-degree murder for the Sept. 3, 2014, death of Joslyn Woods. Woods, 20, and McKinley had arranged a paid sexual encounter online and met about 6:20 a.m. at the public housing complex at 363 N. Broadway St. in Joliet after exchanging text messages. They went into the laundry room and had sex before there was a dispute over money, and Woods brought out a knife, which McKinley used to stab her repeatedly,
according to trial testimony.“I’d like to apologize to the fami-
ly,” McKinley told about two dozen of Woods’ relatives gathered in the court-room. “[But] I know thousands of apolo-gies cannot erase the pain I see on your faces. ... I didn’t intentionally set out to do this.”
Woods, a cosmetologist, was de-scribed as a loyal and outspoken daugh-ter and sister whose death has left a void for those who loved her.
“Joslyn was not the sort of person who would allow herself to be described as a victim,” said her mother, Catherine Hatcher. “She was always a resourceful, fearless and courageous young lady.”
“We fight every day not to allow ha-tred to consume us for what was done to my baby girl,” Hatcher told Alessio Policandriotes.
Will County Assistant State’s Attor-ney Mark Fleszewski said McKinley has been arrested 23 times since 1992 and “contributed nothing to society.” Assistant Public Defender Timothy Specht said there was no evidence McKinley, who has an adult child and
two grandchildren, planned the attack.Part of the Evergreen Terrace laun-
dry room is visible to a hallway sur-veillance camera, and jurors watched the slaying. A forensic pathologist who

“Drumaine McKinley’s act of hor-rific violence was both senseless and pitiless. There can be no explanation for the atrocity he committed against this young woman,” State’s Attorney James Glasgow said in a statement. “This is a truly evil man who will spend the rest of his life rotting in misery inside a dank prison cell where he cannot harm any-one else on our streets.”

Joliet police, ATF respond to man refusing arrest
By BRIAN STANLEY [email protected]
JOLIET – Police seized guns Tues-day afternoon after a man barricaded himself in a Joliet apartment.
Joliet Police Chief Brian Benton said officers were conducting a joint investi-gation with agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explo-sives when they witnessed a robbery in the 400 block of Market Street.
“The suspect ran into the apartment of an associate and refused to come out,” Benton said.
Police set up a perimeter and called additional units and negotiators to the
scene.Benton said the man later agreed to
come out and police learned two men and a woman also were inside the apart-ment and would not come out. Further negotiations brought the woman and one of the men outside.
The final occupant surrendered to police about 4:45 p.m.
“He had a no-bond warrant for fail-ure to appear on possession of a con-trolled substance charges,” Benton said.
Charges were pending Tuesday night against the four people who had been in the apartment.
“A number of firearms were recov-ered from the apartment,” Benton said.
A man is led by police in handcuffs after law enforcement responded to a barricade incident in the 400 block of Market Street in Joliet.

CHANNAHON – The Channahon Po-lice Department will get its first police dog after it was approved Monday by the Village Board.
Funds for the purchase of the dog, officer training and a police vehicle ret-rofit have been pledged by Will County State’s Attorney James Glasgow, who was present at Monday’s meeting.
“Anything to take some kilos off the street,” Glasgow said.
After a downturn of drug arrests in 2013 and 2014, the state’s attorney said, the past year has seen a sharp increase.
Having a drug-sniffing police dog could help decrease those numbers, he said.
The idea of a K-9 unit gained momen-tum after Channahon Trustee Chan-tal Host brought the subject up to Will County Board member Ragan Freitag, who passed the idea along to Glasgow.
Channahon Police Chief Jeff Wold thanked Glasgow and the Will County Board, and said the partnership was a good one. The village has seen 57 drug arrests so far this year. In a previous meeting, Wold said drug activity has long-reaching effects that can also lead to burglaries, robberies and other crimes.
Wold said he doesn’t know yet what breed the dog will be, but it will not be an attack dog. The dog will be able to go to community activities as well as help officers find illegal drugs. Officer Dustin Carlson will be assigned to the K-9 unit.
Chief Deputy State’s Attorney Ken Grey, County Board Member Don Gould and Freitag joined Glasgow at the meeting to officially present the of-fer.
Also Monday, the board reversed it-self on an action that might be adverse to the First Amendment. In February, the board approved an ordinance that banned unattended outdoor donation drop boxes, effective June 1.
Staff had cited the poor condition of many of the boxes, most of which have no screening and some of which were placed in ways that impede traffic flow.
This week, Village Attorney David Silverman told trustees new case law found such ordinances unconstitution-al.
“It’s a First Amendment freedom of speech issue,” he said.
Trustees then repealed the ordi-nance. Silverman said they could pos-sibly retool the law and adopt it in the near future.
The board also approved rezoning several residences on South Tryon and
West Knapp streets from R-1 to R-2, bringing existing outbuildings and de-tached garages into zoning compliance. The board has rezoned other properties in the village recently for the same rea-son and will continue with additional properties in the near future, Commu-nity Development Director Mike Pet-rick said.
The village also promised to look into a complaint made by South Center Street resident Erica Kesler and to at-tempt to be more aggressive in coming up with a plan to solve a neighborhood noise problem.
Kesler said a neighbor has received several tickets for excessive noise com-ing from a generator, and yet the noise continues, keeping her awake at night.
“He has been ticketed and taken to court over those tickets and has been sentenced,” Petrick said.
“I am asking the board to be a little more aggressive,” Kesler said, “and take that toy off the playground.”
Silverman said he plans on meeting with village staff to explore ways to be more aggressive about the problem. The village, he added, has been looking into ways to demolish those buildings.

FRANKFORT
By FELIX SARVER [email protected]
FRANKFORT – Lincoln-Way East High School ranked 75th on a state list of top high schools from the U.S. News and World Report ranking.
The 2016 ranking from the online news company showed the Frankfort school made this year’s list of the best high schools, as it has a 96 percent graduation rate and Advanced Place-ment coursework participation rate of 40 percent.
Schools are ranked based on their performance on state-required tests and how well they prepare students for college, according to U.S. News and World Report, which regularly ranks higher education institutions and hos-pitals.
The rest of Lincoln-Way’s schools – West, Central and North – were not ranked. Neither were other high schools in the greater Joliet area.
Tim Reilly, Lincoln-Way’s assistant
superintendent of curriculum, noted the strength of the rest of the schools at the May 12 meeting.
According to U.S. News and World Report North boasted a 99 percent graduation rate and college readiness index of 31; Central had a 95 percent graduation rate and college readiness index of 26; and West had a 95 percent graduation rate and college readiness index of 22.
Reilly said in the past the criteria to get on the U.S. News and World Report list was that students perform better than state average, that disadvantaged and minority students are performing above average and that graduation rate meet or exceed national stan-dards.
The new criteria this year was stu-dents being prepared for college-level coursework.
“This bodes really well for the fu-ture. … I’m very, very proud of the teachers for making it happen,” Reilly said.

JOLIET
By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS [email protected]
NEW LENOX – Senior Services Cen-ter of Will County was recently award-ed a $27,400 grant from the Silver Cross Healthy Community Commission to help fund the nonprofit’s quality-of-life programs, the commission announced last week.
Barry Kolanowski, executive direc-tor for the Joliet-based nonprofit, said Monday that the yearly grant allows the center to maintain and grow a number of outreach programs, including its at-home health screenings.
“Some [senior citizens] have health insurance, but they may not know to go to the doctor,” Kolanowski said. “Some do not go to the doctor. We’re reaching out to people who don’t follow up on reg-ular care.”
The grant will also provide funding for educational and other outreach pro-grams, he said.
Due to the state’s budget impasse, Kolanowski was forced earlier this year to lay off staff, limit office hours and cut salaries to maintain critical services.
Then an influx of state dollars arrived in April that allowed the center to re-turn to operating five days a week.
But the center at 251 N. Center St. in Joliet is still owed money from the state, he said, noting how grants such as the one received from Silver Cross Healthy Community Commission help maintain critical services.
About 8,000 senior citizens are pro-vided with health screening on a year-ly basis, Kolanowski said. In total, the Senior Services Center of Will County serves about 20,000 seniors every year through various programming.
According to a hospital news release, the Silver Cross Healthy Community Commission “has provided over $1.9 million in scholarships and grants since 2008 to create a stronger, healthier fu-ture for the residents of the east side of Joliet.”
“We are proud to work together with Senior Services to improve the quality of life for area residents, particularly those of senior citizens,” Margie Woods, chairman of the Silver Cross Healthy Community Commission, said in the hospital news release.

ASK ANATTORNEY Dear readers:
The age of CAVEAT EMPTOR -let thebuyer beware - is still withus. In the past several weeks Ihave had several elderly clientscome tomewith the same prob-lem. My clients are all in theirmid-eighties and one probablyhas the onset of Alzheimer’s ordementia. What happened wasthis: After getting amid-year no-tice in the mail from their bankthat a certificate of deposit wascoming due, a bank employeecalled them at home and madean appointment with them tocome into the bank to renew thecertificate. When they went tothe bank they were introducedby a bank employee to anotherperson who was sitting in an of-fice in the bank. This person toldmy clients that the bank had a“new higher interest program”that would provide them withhigher interest income than thebank’s COs. This meeting lastedno more that 5 to 10 minutes.One of my clients even wentback and met with this sameperson again and closed out an-other one of her CD’s to put intothe bank’s “new higher interestprogram”.
It turns out that the personmy clients met with was not anemployee of the bank. He wasan out-of-town, “certified senioradvisor”, insurance agent. Whathe sold my 80+ year old clientswere 20 - 25 year, variable or de-ferredannuities. These annuitiesusually carry higher fees, great-er risks and steep penalties forwithdrawing funds early. Mostof these variable or deferred an-nuity contracts charge from 5%to 10% if my clients wanted towithdraw any funds during thefirst 2-8 years of the annuity.
These variable or deferred an-nuities are fine for someone intheir 40’s and 50’s. However, ifthe annuity is not going to ma-
ture until you are 110 years old,why buy it???? These annuitiesare an insurance contract whichpays out periodic cash pay-ments on amonthly or quarterlybasis. These annuities subjectthe owner to risks because thevalue of the underlying invest-ments rise and fall with marketconditions. These are long-terminvestments. If an emergencyoccurs - and more emergenciesseem to occur as we get older -and you need the money in thisannuity, then you are going topay a very heavy penalty for ear-ly withdrawal.
One of my clients wants totake out some money to helppay for a down payment onan assisted living apartment.According to the terms of hisannuity contract, it is going tocost him $1,050.00 to take out$15,000.00.
According to my clients, thebank employees never intro-duced the person with whomthey met as an insurance agent.They said that they did not real-ize that they had purchased anannuity until they got papers inthe mail several weeks after themeeting in the bank.
With today’s low interestrates, it is often very temptingto want to get a higher interestrate on your investments. Justremember the higher the rateof return usually means a high-er risk on the investment. So,whether you are a senior citizenor not, be careful and cautiouswhen investing. Just rememberwhat your Aunt Sophie used totell you: If it sounds too good tobe true...it probably is! Call meor my partner, Jennifer Lynch ifwe can help you.

Q: I’m a small business owner. When should I start business succession planning?A: It’s never too early to plan for the transfer of your business to the next generation
of owners. Whether you intend to transfer the business to the next generation offamily owners, or to a key employee, early planning can reduce the income, gift andestate tax consequence of transferring your business. Additionally, a well-thoughtsuccession plan can reduce the likelihood of litigation, or the premature cessation ofbusiness operations, which can result when business succession is left “up in the air.”Items to consider include the following:
1. Buy-Sell Agreements between current owners - a well-drafted Buy-Sell Agreementsets forth who will purchase the business in the event of a premature death (thiscan “freeze” the value of the business for federal estate tax purposes, as well asprovide a source of funds to the estate, which will be available to pay inheritancetaxes and other administration expenses, without the need to obtain bank financing,or to sell the business; a Buy-Sell Agreement can also control in the event of thebankruptcy, disability or divorce of an owner).
2. Insurance (Key Man/Woman) - insurance can be utilized to inject money into thebusiness in the event of the premature death of a key employee. These funds canbe used to hire replacement personnel, or to provide a “cushion” until the businessweathers the storm.
Early planning can minimize the risk and expense of having no succession plan inplace. Disastrous consequences can result, both for the business and your family, ifsuccession of the business is not carefully reviewed.

Q: I DO REPETITIVE KEYBOARDING AT WORK AND NOW HAVECARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME. IS THIS A WORKERS’ COMPENSATION CASE?WHAT SHOULD I DO?
A: For most of the first 100 years since the Workers’ CompensationActwaspassed in 1912, there had tobe a specific accident before an employeecould collect benefits. Since the 1950’s, it was common that various types ofpresses were being used in industry where, as a safety device, the employeewould have to hit palms buttons, using his/her palms, to activate the press,so his/her hands could not be inside the jaw. Many of these employeesdeveloped carpal tunnel syndrome and had no remedy.
Finally, in 1987, an enlightened Illinois Supreme Court held that theWorkers’ Compensation Actwould be best served by allowing compensationwhere the injury is shown to be caused by performance of a job and hasdeveloped gradually over time. Both that case and subsequent cases haveheld that the date of accident is the date that the condition manifested itselfand it would be apparent to a reasonable person that it was work related.
Frequently when it becomes apparent that the condition is workrelated occurs at the doctor’s office, when the doctor tells the patient notonly what condition he has, but that activities at work caused it. Once thatoccurs, an accident report should be immediately filed with the employer, as
a jurisdictional requirement is that Notice of Accident to be given within 45days. So if an employee suffers a condition such as carpal tunnel syndromewhich is believed to be work related, an appointment should be made withthe doctor to diagnosis the condition. Then at the same visit the doctorshould be requested to put a history the records of what the repetitiveactivities are at work, and that causation was discussed between the doctorand the patient. The accident report should be immediately filed thereafter.
These days we have seen carpal tunnel syndrome cases arise fromkeyboarding. Therewere some earlymedical studies showing an association,but a more recent Mayo study attempted to prove disassociation. Notsurprisingly, the studywas flawed, not for the least of which reason is that anyperson who thought their carpal tunnel syndrome came from keyboardingwas excluded from the study. On February 29, 2016 the American Academyof Orthopedic Surgeons came out with a 900 plus page paper on themanagement of carpal tunnel syndrome and evidence based clinical practiceguidelines, showing that there is a relationship between keyboarding andcarpal tunnel, and that body mass may have an effect as well. There are alsoother factors which predispose to carpal tunnel syndrome, such as thyroid,diabetes, and female gender. However, with this new study we hope thecurrent Workers’ Compensation Commission will be more likely to find thatkeyboarding is a causative factor in carpal tunnel syndrome. Before thestudy some of these cases were lost unless there were also non-ergonomicfactors which could be shown with the keyboarding.

Q. Why do I have to pay my medical when I wasinjured because of the fault of the other driver?Shouldn’t the Defendant’s insurance pay for it?
A. Despite the fact that your injuries were the result of an accident, YOU are theone receiving the treatment. Therefore, the bills associated with that treatment are yourresponsibility. Plus, if you submit them to your health insurance, you get the benefit of thereduced amounts negotiated between the doctors and the health insurance companies.
While it seems wrong to pay when it wasn’t your fault, it is actually to your benefit to do so.
First, as stated above, you get the benefit of the discounts (many doctors will try to talk youout of using your insurance because financially it benefits them. They will try to collectthe full amount of the bills. Unfortunately, they will try to collect it from you if there isn’tenough money from the Defendant’s insurance, victimizing you twice. First from theaccident, second from the financial burden caused by not using your health insurance)Second, you keep your credit rating protected.
The fact is that if your case has to be filed and proceeds through the court system, it willtake time to resolve. Payment may not be enough to cover the full medical. Even if it isenough, it can be years after the treatment was done. The doctor or facility may not wantto wait that long.
They can put you in collections! Even if you pay installments, you are doing so on a largeramount, due to the loss of the discount your insurance has; if enough time has passed,you may have lost your option to submit the bills and be forever stuck with the largeramount. Installment payments can also affect your credit if a payment is missed due tofinancial hardship.Why take the risk? Use your health insurance. Third, when negotiating the value of yourcase, paid bills are assumed to be reasonable. Unpaid bills are not. So negotiatingbecomes easier.If you need to go to trial, paid bills are admissible as reasonable without further testimony.If they are unpaid, one has to have a witness testify as to their reasonableness. This addsto the cost of trial and comes out of your proceeds. It is the goal of your attorney to getyour bills paid and put the most money in your pocket as compensation for your injuries.The best way to do this is to pay your medical bills as they occur. Not only does thisreduce the costs of a trial, help keep you credit rating and lower the amount of the bills,it shows a potential jury you took responsibility for your recovery. This opens up theability to argue that like you took responsibility in getting better, the defendant needsto take responsibility for causing your injuries! Part of that responsibility is for him/her toreimburse for your medical bills and to compensate for the pain & suffering. A jury caneasily follow that train of thought and conclude that you, the injured party, in entitled tofull compensation. Take control. Get your bills paid at the best rate possible. Don’t letyourself be victimized twice!

MINOOKA – Authorities are inves-tigating the death of a 39-year-old man who was found unresponsive Thursday night in Minooka at the home of a rel-ative.
The man has been identified by the office of Grundy County Coroner John Callahan as Michael T. Witchek
of South Carolina. Witchek was at his brother’s Minooka home when he was found unresponsive, according to a news release issued Tuesday morning by Callahan’s office.
The brother called 911 and Minooka police and EMS responded. Witchek was given Narcan on the scene and taken to the emergency room at Morris Hospital, where he was pronounced dead shortly
before midnight.Witchek’s brother indicated there
was evidence of drug abuse near his brother’s body when he discovered him unresponsive, according to the news release. Callahan said that during the examination, there was evidence of markings on the body consistent with drug abuse.
The family said Witchek had had a
drug problem, but noted he moved to South Carolina two years ago to be with other family and had been free of any drugs for just over two years, accord-ing to the news release. An examination was completed Saturday afternoon and toxicology test results are pending. The death remains under investigation by the coroner’s office and the Minooka Po-lice Department.

LOCAL BRIEFSMan shot after forcing his way into home near Des Plaines
A Plainfield man is in critical condi-tion, having been shot multiple times after he forced his way into a Cook County home near Des Plaines.
About 11:30 a.m. Saturday, police from agencies in Cook County, Des Plaines and Rose-mont responded to a possible home invasion in the 400 block of West Touhy Avenue, according to an email from Cook County Sheriff’s Office Press Secretary Sophia Ansari.
The 27-year-old was found unre-sponsive on the ground and taken to Advocate Lutheran General Hospital in Park Ridge, Ansari stated.
The man forced his way into the locked home, Ansari said, demanding resident Miguel Esquivel, 18, pay him money owed.
Esquivel retrieved a gun from inside the home, shot the man repeatedly and
hid the loaded weapon under a neigh-bor’s porch, Ansari stated.
He has been charged with aggravated unlawful use of a weapon and was also out on bond on a previous aggravated battery charge.
Esquivel appeared in court Monday, Ansari said, where his bond was set at $50,000 for the weapons charge. He received no bond on the battery charge and is being held in Cook County Jail.

In the wake of excessive lines at secu-rity checkpoints that have caused frus-tration and missed flights for hundreds of passengers, Transportation Security Administration, airline and travel offi-cials are making moves to cut down on long lines.
O’Hare International Airport and Midway International Airport author-ities Tuesday morning asked travel-ers to arrive three hours before their flights because of delays at Transpor-tation Security Administration check-points. Hours later, TSA officials an-nounced they would send an additional 58 new security officers and four more bomb-sniffing dog teams to O’Hare to address the long delays.
Long lines caused 450 American Air-lines passengers to miss their flights at O’Hare on Sunday night, airline spokes-woman Leslie Scott said. Since the com-pany began tracking excessive wait times in February, she said some 4,500 passengers have not made their flights.
“We know it is frustrating for our passengers,” Scott said. “They don’t want to come here and stand in line for two hours. It’s equally frustrating for our employees because it’s not within their control.”
In an unprecedented move, Ameri-can Airlines plans to hire outside ven-dors to help with nonsecurity functions, such as moving bins or telling passen-gers to remove their shoes in an effort to help TSA agents.
Lines are nowhere near as long at smaller volume airports such as those [in] Milwaukee and Rockford, officials
there said.“It typically will take you from 10
to 15 minutes from the time you enter the terminal to the time you enter the gate,” said Ken Ryan, director busi-ness development for Rockford Inter-national Airport. “That includes going to the counter if you need to and going through security.”
Milwaukee’s Mitchell Airport spokesman Harold Mester advised fliers to arrive two hours before their flight. He said the absence of excessive wait times in Chicago can make the air-port more appealing for travelers from McHenry and Lake counties.
Officials are hoping relief will come soon. Congress earlier this month agreed to shift $34 million in Homeland Security funding in order to pay over-time to existing staff and hire an addi-tional 800 screeners.
That won’t be enough to address the problem, argued the American Federa-tion of Government Employees, which represents TSA employees. The union insists it needs an additional 6,000 full-time screeners to alleviate long airport security lines.
The TSA currently has about 42,000 officers on the job, down from 47,000 in 2013. At the same time, the volume of passengers has risen 15 percent, from 643 million to 740 million, according to a news release the union.
The TSA reduced staffing levels in hopes 25 million people would sign up for its PreCheck program, an expedit-ed security measure for travelers that costs $85 and lasts for five years.

A long line of travelers waits for the TSA security checkpoint at O’Hare International Airport on Monday in Chicago. Already faced with lines that snake through terminals out to the curb, fliers are bracing for long waits at security in the busy months of July and August.

Tony Barrow dies; Beatles publicist coined ‘Fab Four’ phraseThe ASSOCIATED PRESS
LONDON – Tony Barrow, the Brit-ish publicist who coined the phrase “Fab Four” to describe the early Beat-les, has died.
Barrow, 80, died in a Lancaster hos-pital on Saturday after a lengthy illness, his son Mike Barrow said Tuesday.
Former Beatle Paul McCartney said Barrow “was a lovely guy who helped
us in the early years of the Beatles.” He called Barrow “super professional but always ready for a laugh.”
Mike Barrow said his father coined the phrase at a time when the word “fab” was in common usage. He says “he just put the two together ... it was a masterstroke.”
Like the Beatles, Barrow was a Liv-erpool native and before working with the group he wrote a music column
for the Liverpool Echo newspaper. He was recruited for a job as the Beatles’ press officer by manager Brian Epstein in 1962, the year they signed a record deal with Parlophone. Barrow wrote the press release for their debut single, “Love Me Do,” and assembled a five-page kit titled “Introducing THE BEAT-LES” that featured a photograph on a pink card.
In Mark Lewisohn’s Beatles biogra-
phy “Tune In,” Barrow remembered all four band members making distinct first impressions: McCartney was so-ciable, George Harrison inquisitive, Ringo Starr shy and John Lennon abra-sive.
“All the traits that came out at that initial meeting were consistent with what followed,” Barrow said.
He is survived by his widow, Corinne, and sons, Mike and Mark.

SPRINGFIELD – Legislative leaders gave mixed reviews Tuesday to the lat-est negotiations with Gov. Bruce Raun-er to seek an end to Illinois’ epic budget standoff, tempering any optimism with skepticism that a compromise is possi-ble anytime soon.
As the stalemate nears a year, Raun-er and his fellow Republicans continue to press Democrats to pass pro-busi-ness, union-weakening legislation and make Illinois’ workers’ compensation insurance program less expensive for businesses. In return, the governor and Republicans have said they would go along with a tax increase to solve the state’s multibillion-dollar deficit.
After the meeting, Republican House Leader Jim Durkin described the meeting this way: “I’m pleased to say that after many, many months of objection by (Speaker Michael Madi-gan) to discuss any type of reform, the speaker has indicated he will open ne-gotiations on collective bargaining in local governments, pension reform and also workmen’s compensation reform.
Those are the key to breaking the im-passe.”
But Madigan’s statement after the meeting struck a different tone.
“The governor’s continued insis-tence on passage of his agenda that
hurts the middle class is a clear indi-cation he is not interested in passing and implementing comprehensive, full-year budgets that do not decimate need-ed services relied upon by the people of Illinois,” Madigan said.
Madigan noted that lawmakers and Rauner have been able to pass short-term funding for higher education and local government services over the last year when the governor “sets aside his nonbudget agenda.”
Illinois has gone without a budget since July 1, when Rauner vetoed the out-of-balance spending plan Demo-crats sent him.
Rauner has said he’s optimistic he can reach a two-year budget deal with lawmakers before they adjourn May 31. After that, passing a budget will be more difficult because it will require a three-fifths vote in each chamber.
Democratic Senate President John Cullerton said the meeting was pro-ductive because Rauner reinforced his commitment to support a tax increase under the right circumstances. And legislative leaders said after the meet-ing Tuesday that they’ll put together a group of lawmakers to discuss the re-forms Rauner wants.
Republican House Leader Christine Radogno said she was glad Madigan was willing to have those discussions, but she expressed doubt that the group would succeed where others haven’t.

1 Melodie Gliniewicz’s lawyer seeks dismissal of charges
WAUKEGAN – A Lake County judge says he will rule next month on a motion to dismiss criminal charges against the widow a suburban Chicago police officer who authorities say staged his suicide.
Melodie Gliniewicz was charged after her husband, Fox Lake police Lt. Charles Joseph Gliniewicz, died Sept. 1. Authorities say he staged his suicide be-cause he feared discov-ery of his embezzlement of a youth program.
Melodie Gliniewicz is charged with felony money laundering and misuse of charitable funds. The charges are tied to allegations that more than $10,000 was misspent from accounts intended for the now-de-funct Explorers chapter her husband ran.
Defense attorney Donald Morrison argued Tuesday before Judge Victoria Rossetti that the state is “attempting to charge Melodie Gliniewicz, who has pleaded innocent, for the actions of her late husband. Assistant State’s Attorney Scott Turk disputed the argument.
2 State upgrading security for driver’s licenses, ID cards
CHICAGO – Illinois will soon begin mailing more secure driver’s licenses and ID cards to applicants as the state works to meet tighter federal security standards, officials said Tuesday.
By the end of July, applicants will start receiving a temporary paper ID or license, which is good for 45 days, along with their old ID or license with a hole punched in it, Illinois Secretary of State Jesse White’s office announced. Those items will serve as identification and are good for air travel.
The office then will send the applicant’s information to a central, secure facility located in Illinois for a fraud check to vet the applicant’s identity. The state will then mail the applicant a “higher quality, more secure” license or ID within 15 days, officials said.
The changes are meant to help Illi-
nois comply with federal Real ID, or proof-of-identity, requirements. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security said in January that it will continue to accept Illinois identification to board commercial airplanes until Jan. 22, 2018.
3 Professors protest Rauner’s education board nomination
URBANA – Gov. Bruce Rauner’s choice to fill the college faculty slot on the Illinois Board of Higher Education has prompted backlash from faculty at the University of Illinois and across the state.
Rauner announced John Bambenek, a former Champaign school board member and a onetime Republican state Senate candidate, as his faculty choice in mid-April. At the time of the announcement, the governor said Bambenek would bring a unique perspective to the board because of his experience as a lecturer and small-business owner.
Members of the Urbana campus Senate Executive Committee will draft a letter protesting the nomination to the Raun-er administration, The (Champaign) News-Gazette reported. The Faculty Advisory Council to the Illinois Board of Higher Education plans to send a memo
expressing “shock and dismay” over Raun-er’s choice to the state Senate’s Executive Appointments Committee.
Professors argue that Bambenek isn’t qualified for the job and that Rauner should’ve considered their recommenda-tions to nominate two longtime Faculty Advisory Council members for the position.
4 Cool, wet weather keeps farmers out of fields
SPRINGFIELD – The Department of Agriculture says wet, cool conditions in Illinois kept farmers out of their fields for much of last week.
The average temperature across Illinois was about three degrees below normal at 58.8 degrees. Precipitation averaged 2.09 inches, about 2 inches above normal.
Agriculture analysts say there was only one day during the week ending May 15 that had conditions suitable for field work.
Eighty-three percent of the corn crop has been planted, compared with the five-year average of 76 percent. Corn emerged was at 64 percent, compared with 66 percent last year and the five-year average of 45 percent. Twenty-nine percent of the soybean crop has been planted.

By STEVE PEOPLES The Associated Press
WASHINGTON – Donald Trump is rushing to install operatives in several states that traditionally favor Dem-ocrats, pointing to a general election plan consistent with the campaign he has run thus far: defying conventional wis-dom and political trends.
The staffing expansion in-cludes Maine, Minnesota and other places where Trump opens as the underdog, with the New York billionaire seek-ing to expand the electoral battlefield by drawing on his appeal among working-class white voters – and probable Democratic opponent Hillary Clinton’s perceived weakness with them. Still, it is an un-likely path to the White House, through states that no Repub-lican presidential candidate has carried since the 1980s.
“I will win states that no Republican would even run in,” Trump told The Associat-ed Press in a recent interview.
The Trump campaign has identified roughly 15 states where it plans to install state directors by the end of the month. They include tradi-tional battlegrounds such as Ohio, Florida and Virginia and more challenging terrain such as Minnesota, Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Maine – places Republican have lost for the last six pres-idential elections or longer. Target states also will likely include Republican-leaning Georgia, where demographic shifts benefit Democrats.
Trump’s deployment of po-litical operatives was outlined by campaign strategists who weren’t authorized to speak publicly about internal strate-gy and demanded anonymity. The plan will be subsidized, at least in part, by the Repub-lican Party’s new “building fund,” a lightly regulated pool of money that can include do-nations of more than $100,000 from individual donors, they said, though rules for doing so
might pose an obstacle.Trump is still playing
catch-up at this point. While Clinton is already weeks into her own swing-state effort, Trump’s team is scrambling to build a national organization essentially from scratch.
“Up until three weeks ago, there were 102 or 103 em-ployees, which is fewer than Ben Carson had in January,” Trump aide Barry Bennett said. “Today, that number is much bigger, and it’s growing every day.”
The former reality televi-sion star’s success in the GOP primary season was fueled almost exclusively by person-ality and a flood of free media coverage. His expansion into new states signals recogni-tion that Trump must grow his bare-bones operation to be competitive this fall, even if he doesn’t fully embrace other modern-day political tactics.
He refused to add a pollster for the first 11 months of his White House bid, relying on sometimes questionable pub-lic polls when making strate-gic decisions. Shifting toward November’s vote, he recently hired GOP pollster Tony Fab-rizio.
It’s a step toward profes-sionalizing the campaign. Up to now, Trump’s strategists have relied on the Republi-can National Committee’s
voter data and internal pol-ing to guide the battleground state staffing plan. Going for-ward, Fabrizio will work with Trump and committee staff on voter modeling, overseeing polling and voter targeting, according to someone familiar with the hiring.
Trump’s team aims to have about 15 state directors on the payroll by June 1, supplement-ing more than 200 committee operatives nationwide. Com-munications, events and “co-alitions” chiefs will augment the campaign’s presence.
But bringing in more play-ers doesn’t necessarily make a winning team. Some of the most experienced swing-state Republican operatives have shunned Trump and it’s un-clear how many might work for him now that he has al-most clinched the Republican nomination. Without them, he would be left with a pool of state-based loyalists, many in-experienced and unknown to the campaign’s leaders.
To help fund the expansion, Trump’s strategists said he’ll draw from a fundraising deal with the Republican Nation-al Committee that should be signed in coming days. Clin-ton has a similar agreement with Democrats, enabling her to collect checks of more than $350,000 from individual do-nors.

Clinton, Sanders locked in tight contest in Kentucky
WASHINGTON – Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders were neck-and-neck in Kentucky’s presidential primary Tuesday, as Clinton sought to blunt the mo-mentum of her Democratic rival ahead of a likely general election matchup against Republican Donald Trump.
The race was too close to call a winner in Kentucky. With almost all the votes counted, the margin between the two candidates was less than one-half of 1 percent as Clinton tried to avoid ending the primary season with a string of losses to the Vermont senator. Sanders was favored in Oregon’s primary later Tuesday.
Clinton holds a commanding lead of nearly 300 pledged delegates over Sanders and a dominant advantage among party officials and elected lead-ers known as superdelegates. The outcomes in Kentucky and Oregon were not expected to change that and the former secretary of state remains on track to clinch the nomination in early June.
Wave of bombings in Baghdad kill 69
BAGHDAD – A wave of bomb-ings struck outdoor markets and a restaurant in Shiite-dominated neighborhoods of Baghdad on Tuesday, killing at least 69 peo-ple, officials said – the latest in
a string of attacks in and around the Iraqi capital that have left more than 200 dead in the past week.
The four separate bombings were a further challenge to the beleaguered government of Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi, who is struggling to prove that his forces can maintain security in Baghdad and elsewhere.
One of the bombings Tuesday struck an outdoor market in the heavily Shiite district of Sadr City, a frequent bombing target. In the wake of the blast, influential Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr issued a statement to his followers, saying the attacks “are the clearest evidence that your government has become unable to protect and provide you with security.”
Report says genetically altered food is safe
WASHINGTON – Genetically manipulated food remains gen-erally safe for humans and the environment, a high-powered science advisory board declared in a report Tuesday.
The National Academies of Sci-ence, Engineering and Medicine concluded that tinkering with the genetics of what we eat doesn’t produce the “Frankenfood” mon-ster some opponents claim – but it isn’t feeding the world with substantially increased yields, as proponents promised.

Lawmakers who care trapped in a system that lacks solemnity
SPRINGFIELD – A Cham-paign TV station has folks here stirred up because it caught two lawmakers playing videogames on their phones while an important budget bill was being debated in the House.
The two lawmakers caught on tape – Kate Cloonen and Mike Smiddy – were quite chagrinned.
I couldn’t help but roll my eyes.
What they did is common-place in the Illinois House.
They were just unlucky enough to do it when someone was paying attention.
In fact, it’s so common for lawmakers to loaf during debates, that reporters who routinely cover the General Assembly have ceased report-ing it.
But it makes it no less pathetic.
I began covering the Gener-al Assembly in 1988.
Since then, I’ve seen lawmakers stumbling drunk on the floor. I’ve seen others sleep and others hungover. Newspapers and magazines are read and speeches ig-nored.
A former Senator from western Illinois loved to buy artwork on ebay.com during debates. Two Republican budget “experts” liked to play Risk on their taxpayer-owned computers while legislation was pondered.
But most lawmakers mill around and chat with col-leagues while speeches are being delivered.
I remember the first time I saw the Illinois House in “action.” I was a graduate student taken there by my professor, Bill Miller, who himself was a veteran state-house reporter.
After observing a day of debate, Miller asked my class-mates and me our impression of the Illinois House of Repre-sentatives.
Our class responded in
unison: “chaos.”Miller laughed and said
that’s what everyone says. For a long time, that’s how
I thought all state legislatures behaved. Then I spent three months covering the Nevada Legislature.
Even though lawmakers receive less than one-tenth the pay of their counterparts in Illinois, they manage to be quiet and respectful during speeches, avoid throwing food and are generally considerate of their colleagues.
It would seem a pretty low bar for Illinois lawmakers to reach.
But I’ve seen popcorn fights, a box of Kleenex thrown at the Speaker of the House, shoes being shined and a whole host of activities no other workplace would tolerate.
In fact, I found it rather ironic when a lawmaker known for his in-session temper tantrums bemoaned the breech of decorum when another representative extended his middle finger to the chamber.
While both Smiddy and Clooney are Democrats, the behavior is bipartisan.
In fact, to the casual ob-server it would appear to be a parliament of goofballs.
But that’s not quite fair. There are many lawmakers who care. They want to serve but are trapped in a system that offers not a shred of so-lemnity to the process.
They deserve better and so do the people of Illinois.

VIEWS
Fed’s should not make absurd policies for local school districts
To the Editor:Insanity! On the heels of Target’s ridiculous
bathroom policy to allow gender-confused men to have full access to women’s bath-rooms in their stores, the Obama adminis-tration decided to issue a federal mandate requiring all public schools in the nation to comply with similar radical co-ed restroom policies. These absurd policies ignore the privacy and safety needs of the vast majority to accommodate the absurd wishes of a few.
The fact is, males and females are created different, yet are of equal and infinite value and worth. Respecting the innate biological and immutable differences of the sexes requires that we recognize the privacy, mod-esty and safety distinctions of bathrooms, locker rooms and changing rooms. Contrary to what some may say, preserving and honoring these differences is not “discrimi-nation.”
Moreover, why is the federal government making absurd policies for local school districts? What happened to local control? What about the voices of parents and local taxpayers? Do we no longer need local government bodies?
All Americans should contact their federal representatives and demand the federal takeover of bathrooms be stopped. And call your local Target while you’re at it!
David E. Smith
Executive Director of Tinley Park-based Illinois Family Institute
Gender identityTo the Editor:I know some people don’t feel they are the
same gender as their body. It must be very confusing to them and people around them. I have seen interviews with kids and adults who feel they are trapped in the wrong body and I believe it’s very possible. How many people are like this; I don’t have any idea.
However how to handle the bathroom and locker room issue is a real problem. The birth certificate gender is not the way because people don’t carry their certificate with them and those who had a sex change wouldn’t agree with it.
Jenner says he always felt he was a wom-an, so he had a sex change to agree with his identity. I think that should be the deciding factor as whom to who uses which facility. I still feel very sorry for those people but I have to agree with the people who know a lot of men (age is irrelevant) and women who would love to be in another gender’s facility. Voyeurism isn’t confined to a partic-ular sex.
I think the best way to handle the issue is Jenner’s way. A person should use the facili-ties relating to their body. Since we can’t see into a person’s mind, we can see the body’s gender. That should be the deciding factor.

SLAMMERS TAME WILD THINGS

SLAMMERS 6, WILD THINGS 1
Slammers whip Wild Things in home openerBy DICK GOSS
JOLIET – The starting pitching struggled on the season-opening road trip.
Entering Tuesday night’s home opener against the Washington Wild Things at Silver Cross Field, the Jo-liet Slammers had a team ERA of 9.00. That figure took a giant leap upward Sunday when Joliet dropped a double-header at Normal, 16-1 and 12-1.
Manager Jeff Isom said changes on the staff already are in the works.
“What we found out on the road trip is we have some holes in the pitching staff,” Isom said. “We’re in the process of making some moves. We’ve got to shore that up.
“On the other hand, I liked what we saw offensively. We didn’t hit much Sunday (nine hits total in the two games), but it’s tough when you’re playing from behind like that to get the offense swinging the bat well. We just can’t keep playing from behind.”
That was not a problem Tuesday, when the first four batters in the bottom of the first inning singled, leading to a three-run inning and 3-0 Slammers’ lead. Left-hander Spencer Medick, who also started the season opener last Thursday at Windy City, and a strong bullpen featuring Marc Rutledge and Kevin Simmons made that stand up in a 6-1 Slammers’ victo-ry before 2,907 chilled but happy fans.
Medick pitched 51/3 innings, allow-ing one run on four hits. He stranded the bases loaded in the second, two runners in the fourth and exited in the sixth with the bases loaded and one run across. Rutledge relieved, and the Slammers’ turned a difficult 4-6-3 dou-ble play to end the threat.
Leadoff man Charlie White led Jo-liet’s attack with a single, two doubles and two walks. Alfredo Rodriguez and Marc Flores knocked in two of the first-inning runs with singles. Flores’ second single ignited a three-run fifth inning that included Jake Gronsky’s long double to left and Carter Bell’s
three-run double. Gronsky finished with two hits.
Three Joliet regulars – Melvin Rodriguez, Flores and Boo Vazquez – entered Tuesday hitting .400, and a majority of the lineup is swinging rea-sonably well.
All along, Isom said he felt the of-fense would produce. That was based largely on all the familiar names who are in the lineup, names that fans at Silver Cross Field can relate to be-cause they were here previously.
Melvin Rodriguez, though, is a new-comer. He got a start at second base and played well defensively Tuesday, including starting the big sixth-inning double play.
Rodriguez went 1 for 4 Tuesday and was robbed of another hit. He has a double, home run and four RBIs al-ready and is eager to build a relation-ship with the Slammers’ fans. If he keeps hitting, it should happen.
Rodriguez was an NCAA Division I All-American and Southwest Athletic Conference Player of the Year last sea-
son at Jackson State, Walter Payton’s alma mater. All he did was hit 422 with 65 RBIs in 58 games.
He was drafted last June in the 18th round by the Washington Nationals and was released late in spring train-ing this season.
“Melvin’s numbers last year were ridiculous,” Isom said. “I got a call when he got released by the Nationals, and I said, ‘Yeah, we can use that type of utility guy.’
“He has exceeded my expectations so far. I can put him anywhere. Noth-ing fazes him. He just enjoys playing the game.”
Rodriguez said he worked hard with the Nationals and has worked hard since he arrived here.
“I’ve already gotten some good ad-vice from Charley Lau (the Slammers’ hitting coach), and Jeff Isom is a great coach, too,” he said. “I am excited about playing here. We have a good group of guys in our clubhouse.”
A few more games likes the home opener and the clubhouse will be hopping.

S26 PREP SPORTS: JOLIET WEST SIGNINGS
Joliet West athletes announce college plansBy CURT HERRON
JOLIET – As it gets ready to move into new conference next season, Jo-liet West’s athletic fortunes are defi-nitely headed in a positive direction.
Twenty-eight athletes who have played a role in helping to make that happen during their careers were rec-ognized Monday at a special college signing ceremony at the auditorium.
Athletes representing 14 sports made their announcements during a video presentation that can be seen on Tigers athletic director Steve Mill-saps’ Twitter page. The video also features comments from their West coaches.
Lauren Stefanski, who will contin-ue her volleyball career and education at Loyola of Chicago, feels very fortu-nate to have the chance to compete at the next level.
“This is a great opportunity,” Ste-fanski said. “I’m honored to be able to play at the next level since not a lot of people are privileged to do that. I thank my parents every day for the opportunity to get me discovered. It means so much to be able to continue my passion.
“From the start, I was very attract-ed to Loyola. I’ve had it in my mind for a very long time that I wanted to go
there and the coaches were very sin-cere and trustworthy, and as soon as I stepped foot on that campus, I knew. I’m definitely ready to get started there.”
Eleven of those who made their col-lege plans known were girls, and the majority of those competed in either the track and field or cross country programs for the Tigers.
One of them is Kristine Bourg, who is a bit unusual in that she hasn’t com-peted in track and field for long but is still able to attend Eastern Michigan, where she will compete in a special-ized event, pole vault.
“This is really great, especial-ly since I came into track my junior year,” Bourg said. “To be able to com-pete at the next level is a blessing since I grew up playing softball my whole
life. I played here my freshman year, but then had to stop due to injuries. But having the track team really wel-come me has been great since we feel like a family.
“I’m going to Eastern Michigan for pole vault and only having two years under my belt is incredible. I’ve learned so much from my pole vault coach, Seandell Davis, and coach Pags (Al Pagnusat) and coach Sally (Pagnu-sat). Without them, I wouldn’t be here, for sure.”
Other fall sports athletes who signed were cross country runners Kiersten Perry (Aurora), Charlotte Youell (Benedictine), Dylan Deardurff (Maryville), Mario Scarcelli (Saint Xavier) and Nick Calderon (Domini-can); football players Meekah Ben-Is-real (Illinois State), Juan Hernandez (St. Francis), Jacob Pullen (St. Fran-cis) and Michael Lewis (Dubuque), and soccer players Elber Haro (Bene-dictine), Alex Meyers (Maryville) and Ivan Lopez (Millikin).
Winter sports athletes include bas-ketball player Tyler Johnson (Judson) and bowlers Gracie Plese (St. Francis), Taylor Bailey (McKendree), Scott Ly-man (McKendree) and Matt Pesavento (St. Francis).
Also signing from spring sports were baseball players Matt Meier (Judson) and Thomas Purcell (North
Central); softball players Megan Borgra (Aurora), Ariana Liceaga, (Indianapolis); soccer player Kara Cipolle (Illinois-Springfield); track and field athletes Brandy Teague (Benedictine) and Ashleigh Campos (St. Francis), and volleyball players Luke Van Eck (Dominican) and Kyler Van Rossum-O’Connell (Fontbonne). Perry, Youell, Deardurff and Scarcelli also signed to compete in track and field in addition to cross country.
Scarcelli, who was accompanied by his new coach at Saint Xavier, Lock-port graduate Kyle Rago, is typical of most of the athletes who signed. They will attend Division III or NAIA schools where they can continue their athletic careers while focusing on ac-ademics.
“Coach Rago told me that I’d be great on the team and I’m really look-ing forward to run there,” Scarcelli said. “I learned a lot while I was here about balancing school and sports. Getting the opportunity to run in col-lege is cool because everyone is as good as you are.
“I think about the different races that I ran while I was here but also about all of the great friends that I’ve had. I’ve liked going out to all of the oth-er sports to cheer them on because it’s been fun to be part of such a great year that we’ve had. It’s been awesome.”
Joliet Central names Thompson boys basketball coachJoliet Central had three head
coaching positions to fill, and the Joliet Township High School District 204 Board approved them at Tuesday night’s board meeting.
Brian Reed stepped aside as the Joliet Central girls basketball coach after the winter season, and soph-omore coach Laura Brumfiel was named his successor.
Peter Dobersztyn was named head girls track coach. He will replace Terry Houchens, who is retiring.
The other hiring is sure to be a topic of conversation among local boys basketball followers. Specu-lation on who might take the reins has been ongoing since coach Jeff Corcoran announced after the winter season that he was stepping aside to devote more attention to his young family.
As the 2014-15 basketball season was winding down, longtime Lock-port coach Lawrence Thompson Jr., who was retiring as a dean of students but earlier had expressed
his desire to remain as the Porters’ basketball coach, was informed he would not be allowed to continue in that capacity.
The Porters had their final regu-lar-season game coming up at Joliet Central, and the Steelmen quickly put together a night to honor Thomp-son, who is a Joliet East graduate, along with retiring Joliet Central Principal John Randich.
“Honoring them was the right thing to do,” Corcorcan said that night. “I can’t think of a better night to do this. It’s senior night, and who better would you want your seniors to look at as examples than John Randich and Larry Thompson?
“Larry is just a great guy. When I was coaching here with Ski (Bob Koskosky), I thought, ‘Larry is a
quiet guy. He doesn’t talk much.’ But when you get to know him, you see he has a real passion for the game, and he is always kind to your program. If there is anyone who de-serves to go out his way, it’s him.”
Thompson was gone as the Lockport coach, but he was back last winter as the sophomore coach, and a varsity assistant, for Joliet West coach Nick DiForti. DiForti credit-ed Thompson with making a huge contribution to the Tigers’ program, which next season could be some-thing special.
Thompson will be in town again, this time guiding West’s biggest ri-val. He will be the Joliet Central head coach, Corcoran’s successor.
When a new coach is needed, the question often is there. Is it better to bring in young blood, or if a veteran coach is available and still has the drive, do you go with him?
Joliet Central chose the veteran, with good reason. Thompson always has done things the right way, and he
will again as the Steelmen’s leader.If you are into the numbers,
Thompson coached basketball at Lockport for 33 years, 16 as the head coach. He also was a successful cross country coach for the Porters.
He took the reins as the head basketball coach in the 1999-2000 sea-son and posted a 245-201 record. His teams won three straight sectional titles from 2006 through 2008. Lock-port finished fourth in the 2008 Class 4A State Tournament after beating O’Fallon, 50-47, in the supersectional.
Whether the Porters won or lost under Thompson was not what mat-tered most, however. They competed against the best and their impeccably dressed coach always had them disci-plined and getting the most from the talent they had.
For how ever many years Thomp-son is on board, the Joliet Central program will be in good hands.

GIRLS SOCCER CLASS 3A JOLIET WEST REGIONAL SEMIFINAL: MINOOKA 4, JOLIET WEST 0
Minooka beats Joliet West in regional semifinalBy CURT HERRON
JOLIET – Although Minooka’s girls soccer team has played most of its matches, including all at home, on grass fields, it’s clear why it likes competing on turf surfaces.
Their ability to distribute to ball on a big field where there are no bad bounces plays right into their possession game.
That was clear in Tuesday’s Class 3A Joliet West Regional semifinals when they took on the host Tigers for the op-portunity to advance to Friday’s title match.
Minooka had plenty of good oppor-tunities before finally connecting late in the opening half and then it scored three more times in the final 40 minutes to capture a 4-0 victory. Kennedy Mes-sina scored her team’s first three goals while Hailey Arlis added the last one.
That win advanced the Indians (14-4) to Friday’s 4:30 championship match against United Township, which beat Bradley-Bourbonnais, 7-1, in the other semifinal contest.
“That was a fun win for Minooka soccer,” Indians coach Chris Brolley said. “We were doing things the right
way and we played aggressively, and that’s what I want us to do. This gives us a lot of momentum going into Friday’s game and we’ll see what happens.
“We have some really talented kids so getting them on turf is definitely a plus for us and you could see it. The width plays to our advantage and team
speed and technical ability. But you never know going to the next round so we’ll enjoy this one. I was nervous coming into this one since West always fights and we have good games with them.”
The Tigers (9-12) did their best to keep the Indians frustrated throughout
the opening half and nearly were able to keep the ball out of the net at the break.
But shortly after West keeper Desia Thurmond deflected a good try from Kaleigh Murphy, Messina drove to-ward the top of the box and fired one in during the 38th minute to give the In-dians a big boost right before halftime.
“We were a little frustrated in the first half but with a little faith and de-termination, we were able to get one in with our teamwork,” Messina said. “We kept trying and trying and were able to pull it off and that gave us confi-dence going into the second half.
“I’m very blessed to be able to play with this squad since they’re hardwork-ing players. We have good chemistry and work together well on and off of the ball. We’re excited about the challenge of playing for the regional title, but we also feel confident going into it.”
In the final half, Minooka kept ap-plying pressure as Messina, Brooke Brodzinski and Hannah Rieker were all thwarted in the early going. But Messi-na gave her team some breathing room when she found the net again in the 55th minute.

29Try juice therapy to reducevaricose veins
By Denise FreeseVaricose veins can be painful, ugly, and
embarrassing. Lifestyle changes such as losingweight, exercising, and wearing compressionstockings can help you avoid them or lessenany you already have. Another natural remedythat can help reduce the effects of varicoseveins you have or may be developing is juicetherapy.
Your heart pumps blood throughout yourbody; the arteries deliver blood to your tissues,and the veins return the blood to the heart.Veins have one-way valves and the contractionof surrounding muscles to help push the bloodupwards and keep it flowing. Because theveins are usually working against gravity, theycan weaken and become diseased. The resultis stretched, swollen veins that have troubledoing their job.
Raw fruit juices have nutrients that canhelp strengthen veins and break down the hardprotein deposits, or fibrin, that can accumulate
in varicose veins and inhibit blood flow. Theenzyme bromelain, found in pineapple juice,helps reduce fibrin in your veins and can alsobreak up blood clots, a rare but serious poten-tial complication of varicose veins.
The juices from dark berries contain a highconcentration of natural chemicals called fla-vonoids, anthocyanins, and proanthocyanidins,which strengthen the walls of blood vessels andhelp reduce varicose veins. Cherries, blueber-ries, blackberries, grapes, and black currantsare great types of berries with healthy juices.
When you drink the juices for the treatmentof varicose veins, you’ll want to consume atleast 8 ounces each day. Make sure the juicesyou drink are fresh and not pasteurized. Pas-teurization breaks down many of the healthynutrients provided by the juices.
Vegetable juices are also helpful in thefight against varicose veins, as they help en-sure healthy collagen in the body. Protein inyour diet will also help prevent wear and tear ofthe collagen, keeping veins strong and healthy.

After Brodzinski was turned away two more times and Martina Kotrba was also denied in the next 10 minutes, Messina collected her third goal in the 73rd minute when she fired in a free kick from just beyond the top of the box.
Despite being up 3-0 late, the Indi-ans kept attacking and it paid off when Hailey Arlis put one in during the 77th minute and nearly led to another score, but Maggie Ward’s try was halted.
“We’ve noticed that we play better on turf, so we knew we needed to fo-cus on possession today, and I feel that we really accomplished all of the goals that we set for this game,” Arlis said. “We always seem to struggle in the first half, but we just have to keep at it. We stuck with it and stayed confident and found a goal, which led to our suc-cess in the second half.
“Out of all of the sports that I play, this is probably one of my closest teams. We’re very tight and know each other very well and we work together wonderfully. We always look for good competition. We want to play against the best teams to see how we match up against them.”
First-year Tigers coach Michael O’Shea was very impressed with Mi-nooka’s performance. And while ac-
knowledging his seniors’ efforts, he’s also looking forward to next season.
“I’m really proud of how the girls have done,” O’Shea said. “Getting nine wins is a pretty big step up from how they did last year. So I feel that we have a really bright future here. We had a lot of underclassmen on var-sity, and I’m hoping that it will come together again next year.
“Senior Kara Cipolle was our leader and she plays hard all of the time and brings it in every game. We started De-sia in goal and could not be happier with the way she performed, she kept us in the game. Our sweeper Graysen Bormet didn’t give up a breakaway the entire season, we moved Sam Baloy from goal to stopper and she did a phe-nomenal job. And a freshman, Marsela Rosales started every game on varsity, and her upside is huge.”

‘Sim lab’ strengthensnurse training, improves
patient safety
High-tech simulation training hasbecome a crucial factor in preparing nursesto better assist doctors and improve patientcare and safety in the real world.
That’s why the Leach College of Nursingat the University of St. Francis in Jolietincludes simulation lab classes in all ofits clinical nursing courses. Plans areto improve the lab after the fall, alongwith continued expansion of the nursingschool at the St. Clare Campus, said JerriWills, Assistant Professor and Director ofSimulation Learning.
At USF, Wills said, the aim is to“replicate as closely as possible thesituations they (students) will encounter ina professional setting.”
The lab “patient” is a mannequin – anadvanced human patient simulator - throughwhich Wills or other staff, in a booth, canspeak to the student nurse as a real patient
might do. This allows the student nurseto ask questions, respond to answers,perform basic procedures and developa profile of the patient’s condition for aphysician. Electronics allows adjustmentof pulse, heartbeat, blood pressure andeven blinking. The student then producesa patient report as they would for a realphysician, and a plan for care of thatpatient based on their condition.
Wills said afterward there is a debriefingto help the student understand what theydid right, what they did wrong, and whatthey can do better.
Students are observers in in-hospitaltraining, where the patients are real, andhospital nurses carry the burden of careand responsibility.
The goal in simulation training is tomake the scenario as real as possible, sostudents “can improve their skills in asafe place where they’re not going to harma patient. The overall goal is to improvepatient safety when they are professionalnurses,” Wills said.

FOODMastering the easy art of cooking dried beans from scratch
By SARA MOULTONThe Associated Press
Until I went off to college and be-came a vegetarian out of financial ne-cessity, beans really weren’t a part of my life.
But once I found myself pinching pennies while sharing a house with three other women, beans became a great and affordable source of bulk and protein. And though the initial motivation was saving money, we eventually grew to love the unique flavors and textures of beans, and I have continued to cook with them ever since.
And the best way to make beans? Starting with dried beans. Why take the time to cook dried beans when you can find a wide variety of canned available? There are several reasons.
Dried beans cooked from scratch have a more uniform texture than most canned beans (some of which tend to get mushed in the can). Also, you can control what gets added to the beans (particularly salt). And they cost much less than canned beans. A 16-ounce bag of dried beans yields
roughly 5 or 6 cups of cooked beans, while a 15-ounce can of cooked beans yields roughly 11/2 cups. Finally, home-made beans freeze beautifully, so why not make a big batch on the weekend and use it in recipes later in the week?
But there are a few things to keep in mind regarding dried beans.
Dried beans seem to last forever on the shelf, but beware: The older the bean, the longer it will take to cook. So try to buy your beans from a store that has plenty of turnover.
There has been a long debate about whether to soak beans before cooking them. The main reason for the pre-soak is to speed up the cooking time. And a pre-soak does indeed do that, by about 30 minutes. But Cook’s Illustrat-ed magazine has uncovered an even better reason. If you soak beans in salted water overnight, they not only absorb some of the salt (which seasons them), they also come out more ten-der. For years we were all told that salt made beans tough, but it’s quite the contrary. So I recommend a pre-soak in salted water.
Acid of any kind, however – toma-toes, citrus, vinegar, wine, etc. – is the
enemy. It will prevent the beans from cooking properly. If you want to add a touch of acid to your beans, add it only when the cooking is nearly done.
The basics for cooking almost all dried beans (except dried lentils and split peas, which cook so quickly you can make them from start to finish in about 20 minutes) are below. I won’t offer exact cooking times because the timing can vary widely depending on the variety and size of the beans, as well as how fresh they are. I have offered cooking methods using both stovetop and a slow cooker. Whichev-er you choose, save the cooking liq-uid. It is delicious added to soups and stews.
MASTER RECIPE FOR COOKING DRIED BEANSStart to finish: 13 to 15 hours
(15 minutes active)Servings: 101 pound dried beans3 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons ko-
sher salt, divided1 medium yellow onion, quartered1 medium carrot, cut crosswise
into 4 pieces1 celery stalk, cut crosswise into 4
pieces
2 cloves garlic, crushed2 sprigs fresh thymeSort through the beans to pick out
any random stones or sticks among them, then rinse and drain the beans.
In a large bowl or pot, dissolve 3 tablespoons of the salt in 4 quarts of water. Add the beans, stir, then cover and soak overnight at room tempera-ture.
The next day, drain the beans and rinse them. In a large saucepan or stockpot, combine the beans with 7 cups of cold water. Stir in the remain-ing 2 teaspoons salt. Bring the mix-ture to a boil, skimming the scum that rises to the surface with a skimmer or slotted spoon (that scum is protein sol-ids). Reduce the heat to a simmer and simmer the beans, regularly skim-ming the scum, until no more scum rises to the surface.
Add the onion, carrot, celery, gar-lic and thyme, then simmer for 30 to 60 minutes, or until the beans are just tender. Drain the beans, reserving the cooking liquid (if desired) and discard the onion, carrot, celery and thyme stalks. Use the beans in recipes or freeze them in 1- or 2-cup portions.

33CROSSWORD
Dear Dr. K: In a recent column, you said doctors still were conducting research to see if the Zika virus does, as feared, cause birth defects – particularly, babies born with small heads and brains. Has there been any new information on that?
Dear Reader: There has, and it’s import-ant. The new information was summa-rized in articles in the New England Journal of Medicine in April.
First, a brief refresher. Zika virus is carried by a particular kind of mosquito known as the Aedes mosquito. When it bites a person, the virus can enter the person’s body. Most people who catch the Zika virus have only mild and temporary symptoms. However, early evidence indi-cated birth defects might occur in the fe-tuses of some pregnant women who were infected in the first four to five months of pregnancy.
The most dramatic such birth defect in babies was very small heads and brains, called “microcephaly.” Microcephaly is rare, and can be caused by other viral infections, including rubella (“German measles”).
The Zika virus has lived in Africa and Asia for 70 years. Last year, it moved to South America, and has been spreading north, into the Caribbean, and toward Mexico, the United States and Canada. Will it reach the U.S. and Canada? No one can predict the future, but we know the mosquito that carries the virus already is present in about 30 states of the U.S.
The World Health Organization and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced in early April it is likely the Zika virus is a cause of microcephaly. New studies have led them to this conclusion. Let’s look at those studies, and the reason they have
convinced some skeptics:• Microcephaly has occurred outside
of Brazil. Even though the Zika virus has existed in other countries for decades, no link to microcephaly had been previ-ously seen until it was reported in Brazil in 2015. However, many of the countries where the virus has lived have very poor or non-existent public health systems for recognizing and reporting birth defects. Now scientists report a surge in micro-cephaly also occurred in French Polyne-sia after a Zika outbreak in 2013-14. It also has occurred in some U.S. women who traveled briefly to South America.
• Fetal ultrasound study found defects. In a relatively small study in Brazil, ultrasound studies of the fetus revealed brain birth defects in 29 percent of wom-en with a rash caused by Zika virus infec-tion, but in none (0 percent) of a group of women with a rash not due to Zika virus infection.
• Zika virus can infect the brain. New studies find the virus can infect the brain of various animals, and human brain cells in a laboratory dish. Thus, it is plausible the virus could cause brain disorders.
In tomorrow’s column, I’ll discuss what all this means, and what we all need to think about, as the virus appears to be heading in our direction.

NEW YORK TIMES CROSSWORD
Dear Abby: I’ve heard your dessert recipes are unmatch-able, and I’d like to have them. Some time ago, I saw a column that mentioned cookbooklets you have available to buy. I hope this is still correct, because I’m interested in ordering them.
By the way, what is your favorite dessert rec-ipe, Abby? – Anita In Saddle Brook, New Jersey
Dear Anita: That’s a hard question to answer because I have a notorious sweet tooth. The co-conut cake with custard frosting, chocolate cake with fluffy white frosting (and chocolate drip-pings), cheesecake, pecan pie, chocolate mousse and – believe it or not – the fruitcake recipe, which is filled with nuts but not “cakey,” all are favorites of mine. I also have served the almond coffeecake, peanut butter pie and sweet potato pie to friends while entertaining, and received the ultimate compliment – a request for “just a little more.”
All of the recipes in my two cookbooklets have been used again and again. Some of them have won blue ribbons at county fairs; others have been featured on the covers of women’s magazines. The booklets still are available and can be ordered by sending your name and mail-ing address, plus check or money order for $14 (U.S. funds) to: Dear Abby – Cookbooklet Set, P.O. Box 447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. My cookbooklet set contains more than 100 tasty recipes, including soups, salads, appetizers and, of course, main courses. I know you will enjoy them all because my family and dinner guests – as well as other readers – have raved about them.
Dear Abby: My best friend, “Donna,” and I are former co-workers. She divorced recently but has hooked up – and is shacking up – with a co-worker of mine, “James.” James and I work on the same shift every weekend. Ugh.
James invited a woman to the job for a lunch date. Should I say something to Donna? I’m not a fan of his because he seemed sneaky before the “lunch date.” Donna says she’s happy. We limit our conversation about him because I hate to badmouth him knowing how she feels about him. But I’m bothered knowing he didn’t care enough to not let on to me about his infidelity. It’s as if he wants me to bring the bad news. I haven’t, but I need to know how to proceed.
My husband says I should mind my own business to keep work stress-free. What is your advice? – Hates Workplace Drama
Dear H.W.D.: For now, I’m voting with your husband. One lunch date is not an affair, and you don’t know what James’ relationship with the woman might be. It could be innocent, so give him the benefit of the doubt.
However, if he continues to bring her around, I can see how you might want to ask Donna who the woman is. That’s not bringing bad news; it’s an innocent question.

John Constable, an English land-scape artist who died in 1837, said, “I never saw an ugly thing in my life: for let the form of an object be what it may -- light, shade and perspective will always make it beautiful.” In today’s deal, perspective is relevant. How should South plan the play in four spades after West leads the heart king? In the auction, North used a transfer bid, then offered his partner a choice of games by rebidding three no-trump. South, with his three-card spade support and lack of a club stopper, retreated to four spades. In a suit contract, declarer typical-ly counts losers by looking at his hand and taking dummy’s high cards into account. Here, though, with dummy having the long trumps, South must study the deal from his partner’s per-spective. Looking at the North hand and noting South’s honors, declarer should see four potential losers: one heart and three clubs. Next, counting winners, South has nine: five spades, one heart and three diamonds. Perhaps diamonds are 3-3, but that is against the odds. Instead, declarer should trump dummy’s third club in his hand, the ruff in the short-er trump hand both gaining an extra spade trick and eliminating a loser. South takes the heart king with his ace and loses a club. The defend-ers win, cash the heart queen, and shift to a trump. Declarer concedes a second club, takes the next trump in the dummy, ruffs the last club, plays a diamond to the queen, draws the last trump, and claims.
