Police charge owner of dog abandoned in condo Man faces between $1,500 and $2,500 in fines and up to 180 days in jail By Alex V. Hernandez Staff Reporter
Niles police say they arrested the man who allegedly abandoned a dog in a Niles condominium last month. Lee Hogin Lee, 27, of Hogin 27, of Niles the 9000 block of Terrace, Niles, is charged with two misdemeanor offences related to the cruel treatment of an animal and an owner’s duties to an animal. He faces between $1,500 and $2,500 in fines and up to 180 days in jail. Niles police say Bruno, a mixed breed Westie-poodle mix, was found in a condo unit in the 9000 block of Terrace Street Feb. 22 around 5 p.m. Police say when Bruno was found, he was underweight, and his food was out of reach.
Police say several eviction notices had been mailed to the tenant, who had until Dec. 31, 2013, to vacate the condo. How long the dog was left without food or water is not entirely known, police said. However thanks to the eviction papers filed in court, Niles Police Sgt. Robert Tornabene said investigators were able to identify Lee as Bruno’s owner and locate him in Park Ridge. At press time, Lee was out on $10,000 bond. His next court date is on April 18 at the Skokie District Courthouse. Since being found, Bruno was taken to an animal hospital in Skokie to recover. While there, one of the hospital’s staff expressed interest in adopting him.
A Des Plaines man was taken into custody after exposing himself to women at Golf Mill Center. The wife of a Cook County Sheriff’s officer alerted authorities to a man who was “exposing his erect penis to females as they walked past” him at the mall’s parking lot on March 9, said a police report. She told police the man drove his vehicle slowly next to her and her female friend as they left a store and began to
walk to their car. When she turned to look into the vehicle, she saw the man had his pants down and appeared to be “stroking his erect penis,” said the report. Both Niles and Cook County Sheriff police responded to the call around 4:49 p.m. and canvassed the area. Their search resulted in no leads on the half naked man’s whereabouts. Because of this, the woman who made the original call contacted her husband, a police officer, and told him about the lewd man who drove past her. The husband then called another on duty Cook County Sheriff’s officer and had his wife relay to him a license plate of the flasher’s vehicle. With this new information Niles and Cook County Sheriff’s police were able to track down 27-year old William F. McDonald to a parking lot outside his
home in the 9600 block of Dee Road. During the second call she told police that she followed McDonald in her car and as he drove around the mall’s parking lot. She said once he parked his car, she left her vehicle to get a better look at McDonald’s license plate number. As she walked up to his car, she reportedly saw McDonald with his pants down touching himself. Once she had copied down the license plate number she told McDonald that she would be filing a complaint against him and got back into her vehicle. She later positively identified McDonald at the Niles Police Department. McDonald is being charged with public indecency. He’s scheduled to appear in court March 28.

>> wright way, from page 1 The 13,000 square-foot building on the corner of Lincoln Avenue and Mason Avenue still needs to be retrofitted to house a cage-less adoption center, veterinary clinic, community education and outreach center, retail store, administrative space and a grooming facility. Wright-Way lost the use of the building it leased at 7136 W. Touhy Ave. in Niles after a driver lost control of a school bus and rammed into it. While no one on the bus or in the building was injured after the crash, Wright-Way’s Niles location was made uninhabitable by the crash. Since then, Wright-Way Rescue has continued to place adoptable animals in homes using a skeleton staff from its temporary location in Des Plaines while also raising funds to move into a new permanent home. “I wish that bus thing had never happened,” said Kathy Crann. Her family adopted their two dogs from WrightWay and she was at the March 22 open house. “But its great the they were able to get this.” After courting different suburbs, the shelter decided to pursue a location in Morton Grove and had their permits approved by the village board last December. Back in 2002 Anderson was a student at Southern Illinois University at Carbondale. It was around then that Anderson
more than 30 years, has become an integral part of life in the lives of all citizens of Park Ridge.

The shelter has a second facility in southern Illinois the visits rural animal control facilities and pulls out adoptable dogs and cats that are at risk of being put to sleep. These animals are then readied for adoption before being transported to WrightWay’s facilities in northern Illinois. On average the shelter says it’s been able to save 4,000 animals a year from being put down thanks to their unique adoption program. Once construction is complete, the new Morton Grove location will be about three times the size of the old Niles location, said Anderson. To this end Wright-Way is working to raise $1.5 million towards completing renovations and the ongoing care of animals in their facilities. During the open house the shelter also announced a naming opportunities program for the adoption center. “We’re trying to have our adopters have a piece of our legacy,” said Lisa Aiken, the shelter’s director of development. She said donors can have the adoption center, veterinary clinic, volunteer lockers or even the facility’s courtyard named after them.

The machines are called the “crack cocaine” of gambling because of the speed and the potential for addiction. It is
possible for a gambler, placing $2 bets, to lose $300 to $500 in an hour! Local residents are gambling and losing their money in the machines. Up to 60 percent of the revenue from gambling machines in Ontario is believed to come from problem gamblers. One study found there is almost one new problem gambler for each gambling machine in a community. Up to 20 percent of the video poker gamblers in South Carolina met the criteria for pathological gambling. The amount of revenue the village will receive from video gambling (5 cents of every $1 lost) will not begin to pay for the
costs of addiction, bankruptcy, crime, family problems and suicide. Local residents will have to lose $5 million in the machines for the village to receive $250,000 in revenue. When local residents lose their money in the gambling machines, they will have less to spend in other businesses or on necessities such as food, medicine, utilities, rent or mortgage payments. Contact the Mayor and Village Trustees to voice your concerns. Video gambling is not simply more gambling, it is worse gambling. Do not overturn the ban.

Horoscopes Your love life may take wing on rising thermals in the week ahead. Focus on companionship and working with others rather than competing with them. This is not a good week to launch major initiatives.
If you play your cards right and follow the game plan properly, your piggy bank will benefit from small economies. Lovers find your romantic appeal deliciously tantalizing, but stick with the tried and true this week.
Strive to cooperate with friends and a silver lining could appear behind dark clouds. Tension-filled celestial alignments make this a poor week to initiate key projects or sign contracts of extreme importance.
You take pride in being open-minded and sincere, and rewards for being so generous are just around the corner. However, in the week ahead, your tolerant nature may be stretched to its limits by unexpected events.
You may think you’re moving with accelerating power in the week to come. Be sure to double check your impressions to be sure you’re not merely answering the persuasive call of excitement that rescues you from dull routines.
Let trust override suspicions in the week ahead. Fight any dour mood that tries to set in before you get into the swing of things. You might not like to pinch pennies, but a dollar saved is as good as a dollar earned.
A choice might appear in the week ahead that affects your pocket money, and since there’s a 50 percent chance of being wrong, it’s best to hold off on major decisions. Remain magnanimous in the face of small irritations.
You could concentrate on finances or your lack thereof to the exclusion of other more important matters. Don’t hide away with a calculator when affectionate others long for your company. Pamper your partner this week.
Those who are egging you on may not have your best interests at heart, but you can profit from their zeal. Take criticism with a grain of salt and hold off on making significant purchases in the early part of the week.
Greener pastures may beckon in the upcoming week. Important changes that are outside your control may be in the works, however, so you’d be wise to not begin anything significant until the dust settles.
You may struggle to get to the bottom of a problem with a significant other or co-worker, but once you discover the truth it will be easy to overcome. Be sure to get plenty of sleep in the week ahead to offset nervous energy.
Loved ones may be generous with affection and willing to forgive passing spats in the early part of the week. If romantic ardor has cooled, this is the perfect time to stoke up the fires and prove your commitment.

Locals shine in Prep Shootout Maine East girls lead North to win
Highlights-a-plenty in boys game By Mark Gregory Sports Reporter
By Mike Sandrolini Sports Reporter
After not winning a game for the first four years of the Voyager Media Prep Shootout, the North boys team made it back-to-back wins Saturday night with a 98-83 victory over the South squad at the Sullivan Center on the campus of the University of St. Francis. The North was paced by a pair of Bolingbrook players, as Gage Davis led the scoring with 24 points and Shakur Triplett added 23. Triplett dominated the first half with 20 points before intermission, while Davis tallied 20 after the break including four threepointers. “I was in a race with my teammate, Gage Davis, for MVP,” said Triplett, the Ashford University recruit. “So I was just trying to beat him. Every time he scored, I was just trying to get a bucket and just trying to have fun. It was really fun; I really enjoyed it, to be selected for the all-star game.” Davis did edge out Triplett for the Most Valuable Player Award, making it the second year in a row a Raider has taken home the award, as Ben Moore won last year. “We were having fun and trying to see who could get it,” said Davis, who is playing for IPFW next season. “We try to make a name for ourselves at the Brook. It was nice to come out here and play in this game. I wish we could come out here and do one of these every weekend. This is the last thing I could do for the Brook, so get the MVP of an All-Star game is great.” Bolingbrook players now own four of the top five highest scoring games in the Prep Shootout, as they join Moore (27) and Antoine Cox (21, 2010) on the list. Plainfield North’s Ryan Crowe still holds the top spot with 42 >> see BOYS | page 12

The sixth annual Voyager Media girls all-star basketball game Sunday night at St. Francis University’s Sullivan Center was the last hurrah for four senior members of the record-setting 2013-14 Maine East team. The quartet, consisting of forwards Shaylee Sloan and Maria Protic, and guards Elanta Slowek and Jazlene Gonzalez, helped the Demons win a conference title and post 20 victories— the first time in school history that a girls basketball team has achieved either benchmark. They also were instrumental in lifting the North all-star team to 64-38 victory over the South. Sloan, Protic, Slowek and Gonzalez combined for 24 points, and all four were out on the floor for a four-minute stretch during the second half. I told Jaz(lene) on the bench, ‘Just when I was starting to let it go, and now I see them play again ,’ ” said Maine East head coach Karol Hanusiak, who coached the North all-stars. “This was pretty special; this was nice. One, to have four kids representing our school at this game, and to be able to sit on the bench with them. “We were texting each other last night (Saturday),‘One last time; one last time.’ ” The North led from the outset and never relinquished its lead the entire evening, save for a 4-4 tie early in the game on a free throw by the South’s Jenae Rowe of Joliet West. The North increased its margin to 7-4 on Kate Moriarty’s (Chicago Resurrection) three-point play and a basket by Bolingbrook’s Ashley Drain. “I liked playing against the other team >> see GIRLS | page 13

Chievous in Sweet 16 with Vols By Scott Taylor Sports Editor
DAYTON, OH - Notre Dame College Prep alum Quinton Chievous picked up his first NCAA Tournament win March 19 in a First Four game for the University of Tennessee. While Chievous didn’t play in the game, the Vols were victorious in overtime, 78-65. “It means a lot,” Chievous said. “I’m just trying to soak it all in
and enjoy the experience. We want to make a deep run.” In his third year on campus, it was the first time the Vols had advanced to the tournament. “It was real big (to make the tournament),” Chievous said. “It was a struggle. I felt like we should have made it last year. I feel like God had a plan for us. We won tonight. I feel like we could made a deep run.” The whole experience of not only playing in the tournament,
but the events that lead up to it, make for a great ride. “It was great,” Chievous said. “We walked into the hotel and everyone was there. I was kind of shocked by it all. Then coming out here and practicing, then the crowd was crazy and the big lights. Everything is big time.” The Vols kept the momentum going, picking off UMASS and >> see VOLS | page 13
Sports >> GIRLS, FROM PAGE 11 because I knew some of the girls over there so it was kind of fun even though it was competitive,” said Drain, who tallied 10 points. Drain’s teammate, 6-2 center Ryaen Johnson, hit a jumper to give the North its first doubledigit lead of the contest, 19-9. Johnson ended up scoring eight points, but it was her dominant defensive performance that enabled her to be named the game’s Most Valuable Player. Johnson blocked eight shots. “This is my first MVP (award of any kind) so I’m definitely excited,” said Johnson, who’ll be suiting up collegiately at Loyola University next winter.“But again, it was just about having fun. It was really good, especially playing with my teammate Ashley, and just playing with the (other) girls, the energy they brought. Everybody was just really working hard and going hard. It was fun.” A Naomi Mays three-pointer made it 22-16, but that would be the closest the South would get the remainder of the game. “It was a lot of fun, I had a great time,” the Lockport senior said.“I just came out here to have fun and I really enjoyed it and I am glad I played. I was a great experience.” The North closed out the half with Downers South’s Claire Hardy—who led all scorers with 11 points—taking a feed from Sloan for a layup and a 24-16 advantage. “Going in, I didn’t think I was going to be scoring 11points,”said Hardy, who had not picked up a basketball since the Mustangs’ season ended a month ago.“I just came here to have fun and play
>> VOLS, FROM PAGE 12 Mercer in route to a Sweet 16 appearance Friday against Michigan in Indianapolis. “I’m really focused on this year right now and for us to go as far as we can in the tournament,” Chievous said. Chievous redshirted his freshman year at Tennessee before appearing in 22 games as a freshman last year, averaging 2.5 points and 2.4 rebounds. With the return of Jeronne Maymon this year from injury, Chievous’ minutes have been limited. He appeared in nine game, scoring four points and pulling down seven rebounds. “My first year I redshirted,” Chievous said. “Last year I played a lot in the beginning.
some basketball. I didn’t know what to expect. All the girls were super friendly and just having fun. It was nice coming back out here because I really miss it.” Maine East players closed out the scoring for the North in the first half. Protic drove the baseline for two that put the North up, 26-16, and a Sloan free throw enabled the team to take a 27-17 halftime lead. “It was pretty awesome,” said Sloan, who netted 10 points and will be playing at North Park University in Chicago. “I’m so happy and grateful to be able to play with my teammates one last time. It was fun to play all of the different schools and I’m glad to get the opportunity.” Protic, the winner of this year’s Jeremy Izzo Character Award—given each year to an all-star game participant who displays the class, character and sportsmanship exhibited by the late Joliet Catholic Academy boys basketball coach—scored nine points. She said she was honored to receive the award. “I was excited because our coach and our teammates and people recognize what you do off the court as well and helping teammates during practices,” Protic said. “For me it’s about us as a team growing. We did end up winning conference. When they needed me to shoot, I was there to shoot and if they needed rebounders, I was there as a rebounder. It was just a team role where if they needed me I was there.” The North held the South without a point for over five minutes to begin the second half until a basket by Andreana Johnson (four points) of Plainfield
East ended the drought. “I really liked to play against players from within the conference that we have played against all year,” Johnson said. “I really got to meet the girls and I really enjoyed myself. It was very fun to play in this No. 4 jersey one more time.” Rowe, Mays and Raytoria Richardson of Joliet Central each finished with seven points to lead the South in scoring. “I had a lot of fun,” Richardson said. “It was fun playing with players that we have played against all year.You know how to play them, but you don’t know how to play with them. This is a very good season of basketball for me and it was fun way to wrap it up.” Also suiting up for the South team was Chavon Banks of Joliet Central (four points), Jada Brown and Jacqui Eubanks of Plainfield South, Valencia Chandler (five points) and Kailey Foster of Joliet West, and Brittani Wayne of Plainfield North. “This is the last time in the Steelmen uniform and I am going to miss it and I really enjoyed coming out here,” Banks said. “It was a good last game ever for me,”Wayne said.“I had a great time playing with my former teammate (Andreana) Johnson. We used to play together at Plainfield North. It was great to be on the floor with her one more time and to be on the floor once more in the Tiger uniform.” Putting on their school colors for the last time on the North team was Sierra Birdsell of Lisle, Eden Olson of Benet, and Breanna Sobotka of Resurrection.
Then I kind of sat, but towards the end of the year I played really well. I thought it would transition into this year. It didn’t really happen like that, but my team is winning so I can’t really complain. I just need to keep working on my game and doing what my coaches need me to do. Right now that is cheering and bringing energy on the bench.” The thin wing player Dons fans are used to seeing from Chievous in his high school days are no more. Chievous has bulked up and the roster has him at 6-foot, 6-inches, 214-pounds, although Chievous says that he is even bigger than that now. With all of the guards on the Vols, Chievous has transitioned himself into more of a power
forward, although he still spends time on the wing as well. “I am more of a guard, but that is what the coaches need me to do,” he said. “I’m going to do whatever my team needs. I gained a lot of weight. I’m like 222 now, I came in at like 185. I gained a lot of weight, a lot of muscle.” While Chievous misses his hometown, he wasn’t able to avoid the Chicago-like winter. “It snowed a lot in Tennessee this winter,” Chievous stated. “I went home for a funeral about three weeks ago and got to see some of my family, although it wasn’t the best way. It was pretty cold up there. But I do miss home.”

Sports >> BOYS, FROM PAGE 11 in 2009. The one thing different for the North team is that unlike the South squad that features teams from the same few conferences, the North has more of diverse grouping, pulling from five separate leagues. “I didn’t really didn’t know anyone on my team and it is always cool to get out and meet new people and they seemed like really cool people,” Davis said. Joining The Raider duo in double figures for the North were Paul Engo, III of Downers Grove South and Shane Murray of Lisle. “I was just happy to be invited here, to come out here and play with these guys,” Engo said. “All these guys are really good. Coming into the game, I just wanted to have fun and have that last experience of playing high school basketball.”
“This was a nice place to be because it was pretty much all of the best players in the area. It was more or less a fun game than a serious game. Everyone was trying to throw down dunks. I came out here to just have fun; it was fun,” Murray added.“I expected seeing better competition (here) than I did the whole season (in Class 2A). All of these players are better than what I’ve seen all season. I had a lot of fun with it.” Also getting in the books for the North team were Lisle’s Jeremy Glavanovits (4), Ray Greco of DGN (3), Bolingbrook’s CJ Redmond (5), Danny Spinuzza of DGS (7) and Andrew Palucki of Maine South (7). “This was a lot different,” Palucki said. “Maine South is more structured; we have a role and we know what to do. Here, you just go out and play; it’s kind of like AAU. It’s kind of fun to play relaxed and just have fun.” The South team was paced
by 16 points from Lockport’s Grover Anderson. “Unfortunately we didn’t get the win, but it was still all fun,” he said. “We have played against each other since grade school and now we get to play with them.” Two of the players that played together all season accounted for one of the major highlights of the game, as Joliet Central’s Jonah Coble hit teammate Antonio Dyson for a thunderous Alley-Oop dunk. “We have been doing that all season,” said Coble, who had 11 points in the game. “We knew what to do. He told me to throw it, I threw it.” “I told Jonah I needed one and he said,‘let’ do it right here’ so as soon as it opened up, we got it,” said Dyson, who ended with six points on three dunks. For Dyson, who attended Lockport sophomore year, it was a chance to play with former teammates as well.
THE BUGLE MARCH 27, 2014 “It felt good playing together all on one team,” he said.“A team like this would have won state.” The other highlight came on an oop from Romeoville’s Travis Lacey to Joliet West’s Allias Roberts-Burnett. “It was a great experience, it was awesome,” said RobertsBurnett, who had 4 points.“That was all I really wanted to get that one big dunk.” Lacey added 12 points to go with his highlight assist. “I was very happy,” he said. “I was able to score some points, have some fun with a great group of guys out there.” While the North team was comprised of several conferences, the South was just two, the SouthWest Suburban with Lockport and the Joliet schools and the Southwest Prairie, which houses Romeoville, Minooka and the Plainfields, who they have seen a lot of each other all season. “It was fun to play with a
15
good group of guys that play the game well,” said Minooka’s Adam Alexander, who had two points. “We are all mutual friends, we all play AAU, so it was great to come out and play together.” “It was different, but was a good feeling to get to play with guys you have fought against all year,” said Plainfield Central’s Logan Velasquez, who scored five. Also scoring for the South were Calvin Brooks (10) and Miles Snowden (8), both from Plainfield South, Joliet West’s Elliot Fizer (2) and Plainfield East teammates Nick Novak (2) and Miles Ward (4). With all the Plainfield schools on one team, it made Ward wonder what if. “People always talk about if all the Plainfields were one school,” he said. “This was a chance to see how that would be. It would be pretty fun.” Mike Sandrolini and Scott Taylor contributed

Benet takes second in state By Mark Gregory Sports Reporter
Mark Gregory/Bugle Staff
Josh Yesufu drives to the basket for two of his six points in the Class 4A state final game.
PEORIA - Heading into the IHSA Class 4A state championship game Saturday night at Carver Arena, no one was giving Benet much of a chance against Whiney Young, the state’s No. 1 team and Dukebound Jahlil Okafor, the No. 1 ranked senior player in the nation. After the opening quarter, it looked as if the masses were correct, but Benet forged back and went on an 8-0 run late, putting a scare into the Dolphins, but coming up just short, falling 46-44. “We knew we were the underdogs, we were picked to lose this game by 27 points and that really fired us up to be honest,” said Benet senior Sean O’Mara. “To come into the game and think we were going to lose would have been stupid. We got here and we deserved the same respect that they got. We had to play great teams to get here and we played some of the same teams they did and the spotlight was not new to us, but they are a great team and they got us tonight.” Young opened the first quarter with an 18-10 lead, while the Redwings held them to just 28 points the rest of the contest. “They scored 18 points in the first quarter and 28 in the next three,” said Benet coach Gene Heidkamp. “I think the key for us is, we didn’t shoot very
well in the first half, we had the looks and we were unable to put the looks down. We stabilized the defense, but we fell just a little short. I think this team is a very, very good team and I think we proved it here tonight. They really showed here that they deserved to be in the championship game.” The battle of the big men was more on the defensive end, as O’Mara and Okafor each had eight points. O’Mara added eight rebounds and three assists. “He is a tremendous player,” O’Mara said of Okafor. “He is going to Duke for a reason, he is No. 1 in our class for a reason. He played very well tonight. We double teamed him and tried different stunts on him. He is very physical. It is not often I find kids that can match physicality. I know three kids in the state, me, Clff (Alexander of Curie) and Jahlil. We are the only ones that can body up with each other.” Colin Bonnett led the team with 12 points, while Collin Pellettieri added 11. Despite the loss, O’Mara is proud of what Benet (25-8) accomplished in the game. “I am really proud of the way my team played,” O’Mara said. “We worked since summer of last year to get to this position and I would have liked it to go another way, but just being here with these guys is great. This is a great team and I am so proud to be their leader and their captain. It has been a blessing to be a Redwing.”
SEMIFINAL
Benet took control of the game an 11-2 second half run that pushed the game from a 2121 tie to giving the Redwings a nine-point lead late in the fourth quarter en route to the 38-33 win over Edwardsville. Bonnett and Josh Yesufu each tallied 10 points to lead the Redwings to the state final matchup.
SUPERSECTIONAL The Redwings almost didn’t advance to the state semifinal as they needed a 62-59 comefrom-behind win over Glenbard North in the Class 4A Hinsdale Central Supersctional. Benet had the most losses of any team to advance to the state final four since 2010 when Simeon advanced and won the state title with nine losses. To advance to state, Simeon’s then-senior Brandon Spearman nailed a desperation three at the buzzer to tie the game against none other than Benet in the Hinsdale Central Supersectional. Simeon would win 58-50 in double overtime. Pellettieri was 8 of 16 from behind the arc, with the final shot coming in the final 25 seconds with the Redwings down by two. A defensive stop on a block by O’Mara and a pair of Liam Nelligan free throws completed an epic comeback as Benet advanced to the state semifinal. Follow @Hear_The_Beard mark@buglenewspapers.com

Man arrested for battery, resisting arrest at Bar Louie Suspect hit bar employee in back of head after being told to leave the premises
By Alex V. Hernandez Staff Reporter
A Georgia man is charged with battery after attacking a Bar Louie employee who asked him to leave the bar.
Skokie police say they responded to a report of battery at the Bar Louie at 5300 W Touhy Ave. in Skokie on March 14. Once on the scene, police said alleges that Timothy Shane Briscoe, 24, had hit a bar
employee in the back of the head after being told to leave the premises. When police attempted to take Briscoe into custody, he reportedly fought back and “began fighting with police,”
>> margin, from page 1 November general election. “I am very happy that I won the primary election,” Atanus told The Bugle the day after the primary. “I’m thankful for the voters that voted for me.” Atanus, a 55-year old Niles resident, unsuccessfully ran to be the GOP’s candidate in 2010 and in 2012. When told about Williams’ threat of a recount, she said he would not prevail because of his stance on economic issues. “He didn’t have an idea for economic stimulus and wasn’t interested in raising the minimum wage,” said Atanus. As for the higher turnout from Chicago-area voters,Atanus said it was a combination of her message resonating with them and her name recognition on the ballot. Then turning her attention to Schakowsky, Atanus said the incumbent was a “nothing candidate.” “Schakowsky is pro-gay rights and abortion, and that breeds HIV and AIDS,” said Atanus Atanus has repeatedly gone on record saying God controls the weather and has put tornadoes and diseases such as autism and dementia on earth in response to gay rights and legalized abortions. Comments like these led GOP party leaders, including Chairman of the Illinois Republican Party Jack Dorgan, to say she had no place on the ballot as a Republican. “Schakowsky is way out in left field,” said Atanus. Williams, a 33-year old U.S. Navy veteran from Chicago, made the American Legion Hall in Morton Grove his headquarters the night of the primary.

few seconds. Williams said that while he’s worked for other campaigns in the past, watching the numbers was a “nerve wracking” experience as a first time candidate. “I feel like I ran a good race,” said Williams, before the final numbers came in. “But it’s closer than I expected it to be.” Williams is no stranger to controversy himself. At the beginning of February Williams survived a challenge to his nominating petition signatures before being endorsed by the Evanston and Niles Township Republican organizations. Then in December of 2013, he had a domestic violence order of protection that was filed against him by a Washington, D.C., judge. Williams’ ex-girlfriend filed the order against him and alleges he tried to have her fired from her job and kicked out of school by impersonating her online. He denies the allegations and
said the “order of protection nonsense” was being dealt with. “There are people who really need those programs to protect themselves from an abusive offender,” said Williams.“It’s sad
“There are people who really need those programs to protect themselves from an abusive offender,” said Williams.“It’s sad that she had to go that far.” that she had to go that far.” Around 12:30 a.m. on March 19, after Williams appeared to lose the race, he issued a statement on his official Facebook page. “It seems that Janice Schakowsky is attempting to pull a fast one with my primary election by sending her legion of supporters to vote for my
primary opponent,” said the statement. “What is wrong Jan, are you afraid of a real challenge? It seems like our favorite Congresscritter [sic] can’t handle a true fighter on your side.” Atanus now hopes to win over the support of Republicans that threw in with Williams before the November general election. “I’ll be seeking the endorsement of the entire Republican party,” said Atanus. “I appreciate any support they can give me.” Niles Township Republican Committeeman Joe Hedrick said he was surprised by her win in the primary. “I don’t know what she did to get so many votes,” said Hedrick.“It was pretty much an invisible campaign.” However, he said that unlike some of the surrounding townships, the Niles Township Republican Organization hadn’t completely written her off as a far right, unelectable candidate. “We’re at least courteous,”
said the report. Briscoe is being charged with battery, disorderly conduct and resist, obstruct or disarm a peace officer. At press time, his next court date was not yet known.
said Hedrick. “We’re a little bit different from our surrounding neighbors, who were very much against her.” As for Williams’ threat of a recount, he said there were two options available to him: “There’s a discovery recount Williams can do for no cost,” said Hedrick. “But after that, it becomes very expensive. The Cook County Clerk’s website says a losing candidate who has election results totaling at least 95 percent of a winning candidate has a “statutory right to a discovery recount.” He said Williams could pursue this option, which would allow him to recount about 20 percent of the precincts from the race. “Generally, you pick the precincts where you feel you have the most chance of improving yourself,” said Hedrick. Williams would have to pay $10 per each precinct he wants recounted. Hedrick said the next option would be a full recount, but that could become very expensive. Additionally, he said going through and pulling a precinct’s votes to recount them for human error has become less of an issue thanks to the digitalization of the election process. He also said that while there was a push for union vote in the Republican primary this year, he doesn’t think it affected this race. The 9th Congressional District covers parts of Cook County. It includes parts of Chicago, Des Plaines,Evanston,Glenview, Lincolnwood, Morton Grove, Mount Prospect, Niles, Park Ridge, Prospect Heights, Wilmette and Winnetka and Arlington Heights.

Go out and celebrate with a really nice dinner or something like that after you get your first paycheck. But don’t go nuts or pick up any big, new stuff. The more you put toward debt, the faster it goes away. I’ve been doing this financial thing for a lot of years, and the

Basically, she’s asking for your understanding and mercy. If it were me, and what she’s said turned out to be true, I’d try to lease the place to someone else as quickly as possible, and I’d refund her the deposit plus any money it doesn’t cost you in the process. In other words, if it took two weeks to find another tenant, then I’d give back the deposit and two week’s rent. Of course, if she’s in really bad shape—and you’re on solid enough financial ground to withstand the blow—you could let her out of the agreement completely and move on to finding another tenant.

Food
wolfgang puck’s kitchen
spicy, Asian soup made with
THAI COCONUT-LEMONGRASS SOUP WITH CHICKEN DUMPLINGS Serves 4 as a main course, 8 as an appetizer
SOUP BASE: 5 cups organic chicken broth or vegetable broth 2 tablespoons bottled Thai red chili paste 2 stalks fresh lemongrass, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces, or wide strips of zest cut with a swivel-bladed peeler from 1 lemon 20 fresh Thai basil leaves or regular basil leaves 2 small fresh Thai chilies or other small hot red or green chili
Spicy, broth-based Asian soup will chase away the winter chill By Wolfgang Puck Tribune Content Agency
Even here in Southern Califor nia, where I live, some winter nights can be so chilling that it feels like you need to serve wolfgang puck’s s o m e t h i n g kitchen special to By Wolfgang chase away Puck the cold. And one kind of dish in particular does that job for me especially well: a big, hot bowl of soup. I like most soups in weather like this. Given my choice, though, I go for a broth-based soup. The light yet flavorful liquid seems to speed its warmth straight into my body. (Just think of the effect chicken soup with rice or noodles probably has on you.) I’ll go even further and say that I would prefer it if that broth also tasted not only rich, which seems to me to increase its comforting powers, but also spicy, a quality that does a great job of amplifying the warmth the soup delivers. All those qualities lead me, in the end, to a particular region of origin for my soup: Asia, where you’ll find all kinds of wonderful broth-based,hearty,well-seasoned soups, from China’s hot-and-sour soup to chili-spiked Japanese miso soup with ramen noodles to yuk gae jang, a spicy Korean soup with beef and noodles. I can find them all at the many ethnic restaurants around Los Angeles. But the one I like to make most of all for myself - one I also find

Thai chilies like these or other small hot red or green chilis can be used to add zest to the soup base.
One of the great things about this soup, apart from its aromas, flavors and textures and the ease of cooking it, is how readily you can find the ingredients. easiest to shop for and prepare at home - is a version of tom ka gai,Thai-style chicken soup, with a spicy coconut-flavored broth; little chicken dumplings; and the slippery, satisfying, translucent strands known as glass noodles, cellophane noodles, or bean threads. One of the great things about this soup, apart from its aromas, flavors and textures and the ease of cooking it, is how readily you can find the ingredients. Not only are ethnic markets more widespread today, especially in larger metropolitan areas, but also most of the items are now available in the produce and Asian foods aisles of most well-stocked supermarkets. And, if you can’t locate some of them, I’ve offered
substitutes or alternatives in the recipe. Once you have all the ingredients, you’ll be surprised how quickly the soup comes together. Total prep time is only about 15 minutes, and you can cut up the ingredients, make the soup base, and mix and form the dumplings ahead of time. The cooking time itself, including the soup base, totals about 30 minutes. That makes this soup ideal even for dinner on a busy weeknight. Because, as we all know wherever we live, cold winter weather and the need for warming soup - doesn’t discriminate between our working days and weekends.
CHICKEN DUMPLINGS: 1 pound lean ground chicken 4 teaspoons potato starch 2 teaspoons bottled mushroom soy sauce 1 teaspoon minced garlic 1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger 1 teaspoon bottled Thai or other Southeast Asian fish sauce Pinch freshly ground black pepper 12 sugarcane sticks, each about 4 inches long, optional
COCONUT SOUP: 2 cups canned coconut milk 12 Kaffir lime leaves or 12 strips lime zest, each about 3 inches long Salt Freshly ground black pepper Fresh lime juice, to taste 2 tablespoons palm sugar or light brown sugar GARNISHES: 2 ounces dried Thai glass noodles (also called bean thread or cellophane noodles), soaked briefly in water until softened 2 small leeks, white parts only, thoroughly rinsed, cut lengthwise into thin julienne strips 1 medium carrot, cut lengthwise into thin julienne strips 8 Thai chilies or other small, red or green fresh chilies, halved lengthwise, stemmed, and seeded 8 Kaffir lime leaves, cut crosswise into thin strips, or 1 tablespoon thinly shredded lime zest
First, make the Soup Base: In a large saucepan, combine the broth, chili paste, lemongrass, Thai basil, and Thai chilis. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Continue boiling, stirring occasionally, until the liquid reduces to about 4 cups, about 10 minutes. Set the pan aside. For the Chicken Dumplings, put the ground chicken, potato starch, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, fish sauce, and black pepper in a mixing bowl. Stir well with a fork until thoroughly blended. Divide the mixture into 12 equal portions; with clean, moistened hands, form each around an end of a piece of sugar cane; or, alternatively, into a spherical dumpling. Put on a clean plate, cover loosely with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until cooking time. To put together the Coconut Soup, add to the pan of reserved Soup Base the coconut milk and Kaffir lime leaves or lime zest strips. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to maintain a simmer. Taste and adjust the seasonings as you like with salt, pepper, lime juice and sugar. Gently add the dumplings, avoiding splashing, and simmer until they have cooked through, about 7 minutes. To assemble and garnish the servings, divide the softened glass noodles among 4 large individual soup bowls. Place 3 dumplings on top of the noodles in each bowl, leaning the sugar cane sticks, if using, against the side of the bowl. Ladle the hot broth from the saucepan evenly among the bowls. Garnish each bowl with leeks, carrot, chilies and lime leaf or zest. Serve immediately.
