Lipinski: Bill will boost manufacturing
By Dermot Connolly
Cong. Dan Lipinski (D-3rd),
joined by Sen. Mark Kirk and local manufacturing industry representatives, explained Monday that
a bill requiring a national strategic
plan for manufacturing he has been
championing for years has become
law.
Lipinski and Kirk, a Republican,
made the announcement at the fami-
ly-owned Atlas Tool & Die Co., 4633
S. Lawndale Ave. The congressman
explained that the bipartisan legislation signed by President Obama last
week is aimed at boosting domestic
manufacturing and American jobs.
It requires that every four years
the president work with public and
private stakeholders to produce and
publish a plan to promote manufacturing. At the same time, the president’s budget will have to contain an
explanation of how the manufacturing strategy is being promoted.
“From my days growing up in
Clearing, near Midway Airport,
I have understood how important manufacturing is to good middle-class jobs, strong communities
and America’s defense,” Lipinski Cong. Dan Lipinski (D-3rd), center, and Sen. Mark Kirk
said. “Since I have been in Congress, listen to Bill Hickey, president of Lapham-Hickey Steel in
I have been relentlessly working to Bedford Park, discuss the National Strategic Plan for Man-
ufacturing, Monday at Atlas Tool & Die Co., in Lyons. —

After holidays, celebrate
Fruitcake Toss Day
Holiday celebration
Fatima Abu Eid, president of the International Human Relations Council, speaks at the nonprofit organization’s
holiday celebration held Dec. 9 in the Chicago Lawn (8th) District police station, 3420 W. 63rd St. Along with Santa
Claus, she was joined by representatives of organizations, including Greater Southwest Development Corporation,
Sanad, IMAN and the Chicago Commission on Human Relations. — News-Herald Photo by Dermot Connolly
Santa visited Southwest Side in 1964 as well
I do hope you enjoyed your Christmas and now maybe have a chance to sit and relax a bit, mulling over your
Christmas memories for 2014, the happiness you shared
with your loved ones, the looks on their faces as they
opened your gift and you theirs.
Let’s drift back to 1964 and try to envision what it
might have been like then. Last week we looked at some
of the presents kids might have hoped Santa would leave
for them. This week let’s see what sort of gift Mom or
Dad could possibly have received.
Now, how do you think the wife would have reacted
opening up this gift from the hubby?
Untie the bright red bow, remove the pretty paper, and
anxiously open the box to find a certificate for the Sears
Charm School Self-Improvement Course. The six-week
class covered make-up, hair styling, figure control,
homemaking, and how to be a gracious hostess.
The special Christmas price was $10. And the ad in
the paper shortly before Christmas said, “Attention Husbands: A $10 gift coupon for our improvement course
will make a wonderful Christmas gift for your wife.”
Here’s another gift I’m sure the wife would have loved
under the tree. Woolworth beckoned gentlemen to wrap
up one of these for the little lady: “The party-spirited
luxury apron, only $1 — So feminine but thoroughly
washable.”
Let us hope that if he took the advice of these two
retailers, he also saw the ad from Hunt Jewelers and
stopped in to pick up a little something, perhaps in a
diamond.
Now, what might she have bought for him? Any of
these probably would have worked out nicely. Marquette
Photo Supply advertised the Kodak Fun-Saver $20 movie camera kit. Over at Hoffman Hardware, they were
offering the Miller-Falls electric drill for $18.95.
General TV (Remember where that was?) had the

new AM-FM radio combo for $89.95 I was surprised at
the price on the radio because the picture showed it to be
about the size of a man’s shoebox. I guess it must have
been the fact that it was FM.
New Year’s Day brought a variety of fare to our
local theatres. At the Colony, Tony Curtis and Debbie
Reynolds were starring in “Good-Bye Charlie;” the
Marquette’s feature was in “Cinema-Scope and color”
as Jerry Lewis opened in “Disorderly Orderly;” and, at
the Hi-Way, Tab Hunter and Fabian starred in “Ride the
Wild Surf.”
Next week, as we open 2015, we’ll find out what the
big argument was between politicians and civic groups
that would be affecting the neighborhood as 1965 began.
A New Year’s Eve celebration will be held in the Nativity BVM auditorium on Wednesday, Dec. 31. Tickets
are $85 per person. For reservations, call the rectory at
(773) 776-4600.
The next monthly Mass for the beautification of
venerable Maria Kaupas will be on Saturday, Jan. 3 in
the Sisters of St. Casimir Motherhouse chapel, 2601 W.
Marquette Road, at 9:30 a.m. It will also commemorate
the 135th anniversary of Mother Maria’s birth. Light
refreshments will be served. All are invited. For more
information, call the Motherhouse at (773) 776-1324.

I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas and I wish
everyone a safe, healthy and happy New Year.
The holidays are almost over, but wait for Jan. 3. We can
celebrate Fruitcake Toss Day. After the holidays, it’s time to
bring in the new and toss out the old. Jan. 3 is the day that
the fruitcake goes away, hooray!
Gather up a few friends who are fortunate enough to
have received a fruitcake for the holidays. Go out to a field
and see who can toss it the farthest. Caution: Do not toss the
cake at anyone. This weighty steel-like mass of sugar, flour
and fruits could injure someone, if they are hit by it.
Speaking of fruitcakes, there is one person who enjoys
making them and one person who enjoys receiving them.
My husband Robert always makes a homemade fruitcake
for our dear neighbor, Henry. In fact as I write this, there is
a fruitcake baking in our oven.
St. Camillus Church, 5426 S. Lockwood, is having
a New Year’s Eve party beginning at 8:30 p.m. Dec. 31in
the Parish hall. They invite anyone who would like to join
them. Contact their rectory at (773) 767-8183 to purchase
tickets in advance. They are offering music, food and soft
drinks, a friendly atmosphere and a champagne toast to
bring in the New Year. The tickets are $30 per person and
must be purchased in advance.
Happy New Year Bingo will be played at St. Turibius on
Thursday, Jan. 1. There will be a special format and extra
door prizes. The doors open at 10 a.m. and the games start
at 2 p.m. And bingo will also be played on Sunday, Jan. 4.
One lucky player will win free bingo for the entire 2015
year. The doors open at 4 p.m. and the games start at 6 p.m.
Wednesday, Dec. 31, the Midway Garden Society will
hold its monthly meeting from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Clearing
Library, 6423 W. 63rd Place. Check them out.
St. Bruno school alumni: Mark your calendars. An
all-year reunion is being planned for April 11. For more
information, contact Lily Diaz at [email protected]
or (773) 847-0697.
And to work off that fruitcake, Chicago Park District
is offering Free Fitness Week at Archer Park and at West
Lawn Park. Work out for free between Jan. 2 and 11. After
that, you can join Archer’s center for three months for $50,
or West Lawn’s for $45. And I see there is going to be a new
fitness center opening near the old Osco at 56th and Pulaski.
There is a big sign in front of the establishment. In competition with the park district, the sign says $10 per month.

Battle to replace
Topinka is all
about politics
You get a honeymoon when you win office, but
there is no honeymoon in the political afterlife. Before Judy Baar Topinka was buried, a battle between
the Democrats and Republicans already was erupting over who would take Topinka’s place as Illinois
comptroller.
It’s not like the office of comptroller is the most
important state office. Sure, it isn’t. But the real issue
is that Topinka was a Republican who held a statewide
office, and that is not so common in Illinois, which is a
deep Blue State held by Democrats.
Although the new governor, Bruce Rauner, is a Republican, it’s more of a reflection on outgoing Gov. Pat
Quinn’s failures as a state executive than any seismic
shift in Illinois politics that gave Republicans an edge.
Quinn blew this election with one of the worst election campaigns I have seen in 40 years, driven by his
lack of loyalty to supporters and an enormous failure
to reach out to mainstream suburban Cook County
voters.
It wasn’t a surprise at all.
Quinn argues that for the sake of voters, the person
appointed to replace Topinka should be forced to seek
election in two years, in 2016, rather than in four years,
in 2018, when the Topinka term actually would expire.
Quinn is driven by bitterness — the kind he showed
on election night when he refused to man up and concede defeat. But his colleagues are driven by spoils.
The bottom line is the state Democrats want the comptroller’s office back that Topinka, a Republican, took.
Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan issued a
ruling last week that basically said that outgoing Gov.
Quinn has the power to appoint a person to take over
Topinka’s remaining term, which ends in January, at
the swearing in of a new comptroller. And, Madigan, a
bright and brilliant state office-holder herself, said that
incoming Gov. Rauner has the power to appoint the
person to replace Topinka in the new four-year term
that she won in the November election.
Topinka died at a very politically inopportune moment, between winning the election and getting sworn
in to a new term.
Madigan’s ruling was based on existing state law,
which does not require a special election to be held in
two years, but instead should be held when the state
elections are next scheduled in November 2018. She
did say she believed that voters should be given the
chance to elect a replacement in two years.
Quinn has called the legislature back into special
session Jan. 8, a week before Rauner is sworn in to
succeed him, which is an unneeded added cost to
taxpayers.
The Republicans won the office fair and square.
Voters, despite being heavily Democratic in Illinois,
soundly backed not only Rauner to replace Quinn but
also re-elected Topinka by a wide margin.
Those calling for the costly special election argue it
best reflects the interests of the voters.
But I think the interests of the voters were clearly
determined in November, when voters overwhelmingly endorsed Rauner and Topinka as the only two
Republicans to hold statewide office in a field crowded
with Democrats.
Topinka’s successor should be a Republican chosen
by the Republican Party.
That should be respected. And I happen to be a
Democrat. A “Reagan Democrat,” but a Democrat
nonetheless.

Raul: Merge comptroller, treasurer’s offices
State Sen. says combining financial positions would save about $12 million
By Joe Boyle
State Sen. Kwame Raoul (D-13th) is pledging to
bring back the idea of merging the offices of Illinois
comptroller and treasurer.
Raoul, whose district extends to the lake and goes
as far west as Chicago Lawn, said on Dec. 17 that he
would reintroduce a constitutional amendment that
could give voters the opportunity to approve a merger
of Illinois’ two top elected financial jobs.
The move would save taxpayers an estimated $12
million per year, according to Raoul, who cited the late
Comptroller Judy Baar Topinka‘s support of the idea.
“As we remember the extraordinary life of Judy
Baar Topinka and mourn her passing, many of us are

reflecting on her passion for protecting taxpayers by
exercising frugality in state government,” Raoul said.
“Judy believed eliminating her own office was the
right thing to do, and now is the time to honor her legacy while winning a victory for government efficiency.”
Raoul has sponsored a constitutional amendment to
merge the offices of comptroller and treasurer every
year since 2010. In 2011, the Senate passed the resolution without opposition.
The measure never received a vote in the House
due to opposition by House Speaker Michael Madigan
(D-22nd).
If both chambers approve Raoul’s proposal in the
upcoming legislative session, voters at the November
2016 general election will be asked whether or not they
agree with changing the state constitution to eliminate
the position of comptroller and assign its duties to the
state treasurer. The constitution will be amended only
if a majority of individuals casting ballots in that election (or three-fifths of voters who answer the ballot
question) vote yes.
“Great public servants like Judy Baar Topinka teach
us never to rest in pursuit of better, more responsive
government,” Raoul said. “So many core state services
— from education to Medicaid to youth employment
programs — are in dire need of funding. That $12 million will be put to good use each year.”
The new legislative session begins Jan. 14

The arresting officer said he was standing beside another car, giving directions to the driver, when Mallios

A man and woman were seen stealing two bottles of
cognac and a bottle of vodka from Mariano’s, 11000 S.
Cicero Ave., at 6:15 p.m. Dec. 14.
They were caught on video surveillance putting the
liquor in bags and fleeing the store with it and possibly
other goods in a shopping cart.
The couple, who allegedly fit the description of suspects
wanted for a similar crime at the Mariano’s grocery store
in Frankfort, escaped in a car driven by a third person.
Man arrested after bowling alley incident
Segun E. Hudson, 22, of the 4700 block of South
Michigan Avenue, Chicago, was charged with disorderly conduct, battery and resisting a peace officer following an incident outside Arena Bowl, 4700 W. 103rd St.,
at 9:46 p.m. Dec 15.
Bowling alley staff reported seeing Hudson repeatedly leaving the bowling alley and drinking alcohol at
his car in the parking lot. Police were called after he
allegedly threatened a woman in the parking lot.
An off-duty police officer working security said
Hudson then became belligerent when he was refused
re-entry, and resisted being handcuffed.
Police said he also caused a disturbance in custody,
and urinated on the door of the holding cell. He is due
in court on Jan. 13.
Alleged drunk driver had iIlegal gun
Richard R. Karnoski, 42, of the 8300 block of South
Mulligan Avenue, Burbank, was charged with felony
aggravated unlawful use of a weapon, and driving
under the influence of alcohol. Police also said that a
loaded handgun was in his car when he was pulled over
at 3 a.m. Dec. 7 at 95th Street and Ridgeland Avenue.
Police said he did not have a firearm owners identification card necessary to own the weapon found under
his seat. He was also cited for possession of ammunition without an FOID card, aggravated speeding (63
mph in a 35 mph zone), and illegal screeching of tires.
Karnoski was held for a bond hearing.
Police report information is provided by law enforcement agencies. Charges are not evidence of guilt.
They are a record of police actions taken, and persons
charged with a crime are presumed innocent until
proved guilty in court.
Man sentenced for robbing disabled person
A Chicago man was sentenced to 21 years
in prison for the robbery of a disabled man
who was blindfolded and barricaded in his
Southwest Side home during a violent home
invasion in 2012, according to the Office of
Cook County State’s Attorney Anita Alvarez.
Keleen Bishop, 23, was previously convicted of home Invasion with a Firearm
for the incident which occurred during the
early morning hours of Oct. 5, 2012, at a
home in the 7200 block of South Oakley.
The victim, a 49-year-old disabled
man was home alone when the defendant
and an uncharged co-offender entered
the home through an open window and
robbed him.
According to prosecutors, Bishop and
another man displayed a handgun and
threatened the victim before barricading
him in a room and blindfolding him.
The two men then ransacked the victim’s home and fled after stealing items
from the home. The victim, who suffered
minor injuries as a result of the incident,
was able to positively identify Bishop and
he was arrested and charged with this
crime, according to authorities.
Cook County Judge Erica Reddick sentenced Bishop to the 21-year prison term
during a hearing at the Leighton Criminal
Courts Building in Chicago.
Alvarez thanked Assistant State’s Attorneys James Murphy and Joell Zahr as
well as the Chicago Police Department for
their work on this case.

Reviewing final stories
as year come to end
The presents have been opened, soon to be replaced
by party hats. The final chapter of 2014 is coming to a
close.
When we are young, the days seem longer. As we
age, we realize time is not infinite. Year in review
stories fill the pages of newspapers and TV screens for
the next week or so. If asked what I think are the major
stories of the past year, I would pause. Time goes by so
quickly that it is hard to digest the past 12 months.
I am more apt to recall stories from the past month
than reaching back to last January. At the national level,
North Korea has been accused by the United States
of hacking into the database of Sony Pictures because
Sony was going to release “The Interview” on Christmas Day. The satirical farce stars Seth Rogen and James
Franco, who play characters recruited by the CIA to
assassinate Kim Jong-un, the North Korean president.
North Korea was not amused and threatened the U.S.
dating back to April not to release the movie. Then Sony
was hit by hackers on Nov. 24. The hackers — called
the Guardians of Peace — posted messages threatening
a 9-11 attack on theaters that showed the movie.
Sony then pulled the plug on “The Interview.”
Executives from Sony said movie chains were
refusing to show the movie. Many movie chain executives said that was not true. But Sony Pictures had seen
critical email conversastions about actors revealed to the
public. Movies not yet released were able be viewed due
to the hackers.
The argument being debated is if studio executives
back down for “The Interview,” what will happen if a
foreign entity objects to a critical documentary? Even
President Obama said he felt it was a mistake to pull the
film. It appers the hackers won this cyberspace battle.
Opening up trade to Cuba by the Obama administration this month has its detractors, who claim the Cuban
people will still be living in a communist country. Well,
they have been living that way over the past 50 years.
Maybe it’s time to consider another strategy.
Raoul Castro, 83, is the current Cuban president.
His brother Fidel, 88, was the leading presence of the
1959 revolution. But that was a long time ago and this
communist regime is suffering from hardening of the arteries. Perhaps the time will come when this regime will
tumble as the nation slowly receives a taste of freedom.
Other big stories this year focused on the death
of two male blacks by white police officers. Protests
surged with the assistance of social media. When a
black male died in New York City, the protests escalated, relating a longtime fear in the African American
community that black males are often subjected to
brutality by some white police officers.
This past week, two police officers were shot and
killed in Brooklyn by a deranged man who then killed
himself. He had revealed the reason for the killing was
in retaliation of the deaths of the two black males.
Some community organizers have called for an end
to the protests until the two police officers were laid
to rest. It is a reminder that while racial profiling and
brutality exists, the job of police officers is difficult and
dangerous.
Locally, nine Chicago Archdiocese Catholic schools
were set to close in June.The announcement came on
Oct. 29. St. Rene, 6340 S. New England Ave., and
St.Turibius, 4120 W.57th Place, were the two local Chicago grade schools scheduled to close.
However, supporters of St. Rene are fighting to
remain open, stating there has been no reason given
why the school is closing. St. Rene had an enrollment of
nearly 170 in October and has no debts, supporters state.
These stories will continue to resonate in 2015.
Cybersecurity will be mentioned often. Will the U.S.
retaliate in a similar manner against the government of
North Korea?
Maybe that will be one of the big stories of 2015.

Patrons warm up to Oak Lawn Library Café
By Michele Beattie
The long-anticipated opening of “The Best Oak
Lawn Cafe” took place this month at the Oak Lawn
Library, 9427 S. Raymond Ave.
The snack shop has been open at various hours each
day while the owner, Bani Issa, evaluated the needs
and food interests of the library and local area patrons.
Issa has decided on hours that will cover most of the
library opening schedule. The library is open from 10
a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Thursday; 9 a.m. to 1
p.m. Friday; 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday; and 1 to 4 p.m.
Sunday.
The name of the cafe was chosen by Issa’s 12-yearold daughter, Mariam. According to Issa, he and his
three children visit the library often. When Mariam
saw that the previous snack shop owners had closed
the Bookworm Cafe, she was insistent that her father
look into opening the cafe again.
Issa, a 23-year resident of Oak Lawn, feels the cafe
is his chance to give back to the community where he
lives and is raising his family. He had previously managed a bakery near the United Center in Chicago. He
says he enjoys being involved with food service.
The smell of homemade soup and fresh-brewed
coffee greets visitors each day. The welcoming atmosphere extends to a comfortable leather sofa with soft
pillows in one corner of the shop along with several
new tables and chairs and a long table for groups of six.
Issa plans to finalize menu selections within the
coming weeks, but the menu may change seasonally as
well. There is fresh fruit and breakfast cereal available
each day, along with a variety of snacks, juice drinks,
sandwich and dessert items.

Russia’s Putin is
in trouble; why
that matters to us
Russia is in the throes of a full-blown currency crisis, with
profound implications for its economy, its political system and
even for us.
The ruble’s gyrations in recent weeks have been extreme,
plunging to record lows that would have once seemed unthinkable. And that poses enormous geo-political opportunities for the United States, provided our leadership remains as
disciplined as it has since the summer.
The ruble’s rout is caused by the plunge in the price of oil,
Russia’s major export, and exacerbated by sanctions imposed
by President Barack Obama in the wake of Vladimir Putin’s
military intervention in Ukraine this summer.
Both abroad and at home, the Russian president overplayed
his hand. So much so that the rouble’s slide reflects growing
belief that Putin no longer runs Russia in its economic interests but is hell bent restoring the old Russian empire, which it
cannot afford.
The immediate options available to Putin to respond to the
crisis of the rouble are unpleasant. Continue to jack up interest rates, now 17 percent in Russia; spend precious foreign
reserves to prop up the rouble; or prevent Russians and others
from taking money out of the country.
The first two measures could end up in failure, while the
third would be a retrograde and unpopular step for a government that has won accolades at home for restoring order and
living standards on behalf of everyday people. Something else
needs to change and that’s where our country comes in.
Under Mr. Putin, the Russian economy has evolved into a
corrupt, gangster crony capitalist society. Modernization that
might have reduced the country’s reliance on oil has been
squandered. And an expansionist foreign policy triggered
sanctions from the United States and Europe due to the security threat Russia now imposes on free countries in Europe, a
number of which are ancestral homes to many readers of this
newspaper.
The plunge in oil prices has intensified the pain caused
by sanctions. Russia’s economy could shrink by as much as
5 percent this year, a figure architects of western sanctions
thought would take years to achieve.
Putin, therefore, is at a crossroads. He could reverse aggression in Ukraine and the rest of eastern Europe, and thus
end sanctions. An easement of sanctions would not resolve
the domestic economic damage from failing oil prices, but it
would give Russia access again to western credit markets and
more flexibility to ride out the economic storm.
Based on past behavior, however, there is a good chance
that Putin will behave irrationally. It is possible he will
choose to double down on his vision of a Greater Russia, that
he will further repress domestic opposition, and that he will
set his sights on invading another neighboring country.
It is, therefore, a good thing that President Obama offered
up a new round of sanctions against Putin’s Russia last week.
These past few weeks, it has become abundantly clear that
our country has benefited from President Obama’s restraint
of public rhetoric and his private resolve in building a team of
rock-solid allies, especially Germany.
The simple truth is the United States, since this summer,
has been leading a coalition of free countries in an economic
war against Russia.
The good guys are winning. And there’s no reason to let
up until Putin changes his ways or is vanquished by his own
people. A free eastern Europe depends on it.
Topinka would have continued to
be herself under Gov.-elect Rauner
By Rich Miller
There’s little doubt that the late Comptroller Judy Baar Topinka would’ve continued her
straight-talking ways during a Gov.-elect Bruce
Rauner administration.
Topinka was “good copy” for reporters. When
she criticized a budget or a fiscal position, we
listened.
Other Statehouse denizens respected her fiscal
smarts as well. If she attacked a proposal, legislators and everyone else under the dome took note.
Rauner showed great deference to Topinka after
the election, officing in her Statehouse suite and
giving her chief of staff the authority to hire most
of his new employees. I don’t think there’s any
question that he grew to truly admire the quirky
redhead.
But Topinka had called for a far more gradual
reduction to the state’s 2011 income tax hike than
Gov.-elect Rauner has said he wants. A particularly
brutal package of budget cuts or one-time gimmicks proposed by Rauner next year wouldn’t have
gone down too well with her. Rauner would’ve had
to take her opinion into account before unveiling
his budget, or suffer the consequences afterward.
She was also much more liberal than Rauner
admits to. Topinka was expected to help build
bridges between Rauner and organized labor, as
well as to Democrats and left of center groups she
worked with over the years and who have not yet
become comfortable with the idea of a Republican
governor.
Yes, many of us lost a friend this month, but we
also lost an experienced, respected politico who
could counsel the new and inexperienced governor
about how to be a more effective leader, and one
who could help nudge him, publicly or privately,
to stay on a more humane and fiscally responsible
fiscal path.
And with Topinka’s post-election passing, I
don’t see any of Rauner’s fellow Republicans out
there with the power or credibility who will also
have the guts to stand up to the guy.
Some holes can be patched here and there. Both
Republican state legislative leaders have ties to
unions, for example. Senate Republican Leader
Christine Radogno is a former social worker who
has championed human services causes.
But neither of those leaders have yet to show
much independence from Rauner, whose money
had a major impact on House races this year and
could have an equally big impact on 2016 Senate
races.
For instance, Gov. Quinn, Attorney General
Lisa Madigan and Senate President John Cullerton
have all forcefully argued for a special election so
that Rauner’s pick for Topinka’s replacement won’t
serve beyond a 2016 special election. A four-year
appointment by Rauner, they all argue, is just
downright undemocratic.
When the topic was first broached, Rauner
claimed such an election would be unconstitutional, but the Illinois Constitution clearly says that the
appointee serves until the successor is elected and
qualified “as may be provided by law.”
The next day, the two legislative leaders, Radogno and House GOP Leader Jim Durkin, released
what higher-ups in the attorney general’s office
derisively dismissed as a “half baked” legal opinion about why a special session would be unconstitutional.
The opinion deliberately left out crucial words
in important constitutional passages, defied logic
by claiming “as may be provided by law” passage
didn’t allow the Legislature to actually do anything, and ignored committee reports from and
debate at the state’s Constitutional Convention
which made it abundantly clear that the Legislature
has the authority to act.
Not only did that opinion bode ill for the incoming Rauner administration (with one person at the
attorney general’s office saying it reminded her
of Rod Blagojevich, whose lawyers would often
pull legal arguments out of thin air to counter the
attorney general), it also showed an astonishing
servility by the two GOP legislative leaders.
I don’t know whether Comptroller Topinka
would’ve wanted a special election to replace her
in 2016, rather than allow her successor to serve
four years until after the regularly scheduled 2018
election. None of us do. She had her partisan
leanings, so she might be wary of holding a special
election in a presidential election year, when Democrats do much better than off years. But she was
also a small “d” democrat and a four-year appointment sure doesn’t feel democratic to many folks.
I do know, however, that Topinka never
would’ve signed her name to an obviously bogus
legal “argument” like the one released last week.
“There’s a hole in the hearts of the people of
this state,” Gov. Quinn said at Topinka’s memorial
service last week. That’s true. But there’s also now
a gaping hole in the government which assumes
power next month.

political newsletter, and CapitolFax.com.

capability and avoiding becoming a victim of financial fraud and abuse.
Moraine Valley is one of 15 community colleges selected nationally by AARP
Foundation, in collaboration with the
American Association of Community
Colleges, to administer Back to Work 50+.
“In 2014, the BTW 50+ program
taught participants the necessary skills to
be successful and advance themselves in
key industries, and program participants
were very successful in landing employ-
ment in our communities. We expect to
build on the success of the program’s first
year,” said Lisa Bly, assistant dean of
Corporate, Community and Continuing
Education at Moraine Valley and project
director. “With our workforce development program, we provide real experience and focused training in fast growing
industries. The cohort approach supports
an open dialogue within the class, which
allows for sharing of experiences and
ideas throughout the learning process.
The students leave more prepared to
move into a job, and by partnering with
businesses throughout the region that
are hiring, Moraine Valley provides job
seekers access to potential employment
opportunities.”

Your Money Attitude Impacts Your Financial Life and Future
PLANNING FOR WEALTH - Q & A COLUMN
Question: Every month when
the bills come, I panic and become anxious, what can I do?
Consider your attitude towards
money. Each of us have different
thoughts, feelings, emotions and
approaches to money. Attitudes
towards finances and money are
formed from past experiences.
How your parents handled money or dealt with financial issues
when you were a child, or when
you were growing up, helped
shape your own attitude towards
money.
This attitude impacts many areas
of your life including personal
relationships, staying out of debt,
saving for a home, planning for
retirement and managing monthly
bills. There are various forms of
unhealthy attitudes toward money
to look out for:
1) People who equate money
and things with their self-worth.
These individuals might do anything to get money or may overspend, finding themselves in serious debt.
2) Some excessive savers are vigilant about every dollar and every
penny. Taken to the extreme, these
are the people hoarding ketchup
packets and napkins from restaurants or setting their heat so low
in the winter their pipes burst.
3) There are those that obsess
over their net worth and treat
it as a measure of their status. They use their money as a
source of power or as a method to control family members.
4) Finally, there are those who
hide from money issues, feel
stress with anything to do with
money and avoid dealing with finances.
If you find yourself having an
unhealthy approach to money, the good news is that psychologists agree attitude is a
learned behavior and what is
learned, can also be unlearned.
What can you do if you need to
change your money attitude?
Realize you need to make a
change, reset your thinking and
improve your approach to money.
1) Find a mentor or talk with people who have a healthy attitude
towards money.
2) Read articles and books about
managing personal finance.
3) Identify the behaviors you
want to change and build positive
financial habits to replace them.
4) Set time to review your spending and saving. Create structure to
your money management habits.
5) Meet with a financial professional for help in planning, saving
and budgeting your money.
Improve your money attitude,
today, for a richer financial life!

Best wishes for New Year for ill local residents
This is the time for quiet contemplation and enjoyment of this holy time of Christmas. I’m hoping at the
time I’m writing this it was a white Christmas.
I wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a great
New Year for 2015.
I was very sorry to hear that Tarkington Seniors
and Queen’s Seniors member Helen Suryn had fallen
recently. She is recuperating at Rush Hospital and we
hope she is doing well and we will soon again see her.
She also recently celebrated her 102 birthday in October. Best wishes from all of us for happy holidays.
I was shocked to hear that Judy Barr Topinka died.
I remember her at so many functions as being so
energetic and friendly. Our condolences to her son and
family. May she rest in eternal peace.
I was really thrilled to receive thoughts of happy
holidays from my wonderful, efficient and caring nurses who worked hard to keep me alive and as well as
could be during my stay at Rush. Thank you to Christie
Schane, Caitlin Murphy. Katie Vanek, Sandra Obilade,

and the wonderful staff, and happy holidays to you all.
I wish to remind you to check on all your supplies,
as after Dec. 27 they must be picked up. The new 20l5
deductible will take effect.
Last Thanksgiving, I received a beautiful bouquet
of flowers from Frances Spencer. And this Christmas
I received a beautiful bouquet from Elaine Beatovic.
I am surrounded with various colors of mums. I really
thank you for such caring at (773) 685-4090.
I very much appreciate your Christmas cards as they
have kept me cheered, but I will not be sending cards
as my fingers tingle after the infusions I receive, which
makes it difficult to write.
And we have had our share of craziness, as our furnace went out without any warning. I was happy to see
Tony Santucci bring heat back into our lives, and we are
thankful for such wonderful people who are talented.
I send condolences to the family of Thomas J. Durkin,
84, who died recently at Plymouth Place senior housing
in LaGrange Park. I worked with Mr. Durkin at Thomas Havey Co., in Chicago a number of years ago as an
assistant to the tax manager. His son and my son George
received their C.P.A. certificates at the same time.
He and his wife, Colette, who died in 2013, raised
eight sons, five of whom are attorneys and three of
whom are CPAs.
I hope Santa Claus has brought you all you desired
and that you all are healthy and happy in 2015. We
whisper a special prayer for our military, their families,
and our USA.
When snow comes, make sure it is shoveled
Part II of the holiday season comes on Thursday,
Jan. 1 as we all welcome and celebrate the New Year of
2015. Wishing all of our area a very Happy New Year
and a safe celebration of New Year’s Eve on Wednesday, Dec. 31.
So far our winter has been surprisingly mild
(meaning very little or almost no snow, at least as this
column is being prepared). However, the winter is just
at its start. And how many of you know that there are
municipal codes (sections 4-4-310 and 10-8-180) that
cover the shoveling of snow.
Both homes and businesses must clear snow from
sidewalks next to their property. A fine may be levied
if the snow is not removed.
Therefore, for the safety of your neighbors, visiting
friends and customers of local businesses, be sure
to shovel those sidewalks once the snow arrives this

It was ‘Show Time’ at Moraine Valley
St. Rita defeats Simeon 51-46 in game presented by ESPN2
By Jeff Vorva
and Tom Bunch
The gym was rocking.
The fans were hollering.
The cameras were rolling.
The coach of the top
college basketball program
in the nation was in the
house.
And people all over the
world were watching.
It was Show Time at
Moraine Valley Community College. At least that’s
what one St. Rita fan wrote
on her poster and held it up
throughout the game.
But it lived up to the
billing.
The Palos Hills college
hosted a battle of two of
the best teams in the country last Friday night in the
gym of its new Health,
Recreation and Fitness
building and St. Rita
pulled off a 51-46 victory
over Simeon on a game
shown on ESPN2.
Simeon fans were disappointed as their team,
ranked 12th in the nation by
USA Today, took the loss.
St. Rita fans, however,
were thrilled.
Stoic-faced John Calipari,
the coach of the top-ranked
University of Kentucky,
should have been happy as
one of his prized recruits,

had 17 points and 13 rebounds in the game.
And Moraine Valley
officials were ecstatic the
game was a boon to the
school and a chance time
to show off its new and
sleek athletic facility.
But the game, which
started at 5:30 p.m., not
just appear overnight.
There was a lot of work
and thought put into mak-
ing it happen.
“It’s been a six-week process. We had to make sure
we got the game, we had to
prove to them that we can
handle it with the staff,”
said Bill Finn, the Moraine
Valley Community College
athletic director. “We got a
crew of around 40 people set
up the cameras, the microphones, cabling and other
intricate stuff.”
Long before the crowd
was screaming for dunks
and blocks, workers were
in the quiet gym getting
set up. Work on the gym
began Thursday night and
continued in earnest on
Friday morning.
“I’ve been working here
since 10 a.m.,’’ Moraine
Valley student worker
Richard Gregg Jr. said Friday afternoon. “It’s going
to be a big game so it’s
gonna be exciting. I’m an
athlete myself so it’s exciting that ESPN is here.”
Finn was hoping more
than 2,000 fans would
show up.
“Our (men’s basketball)
games usually attract between 150 and 250 people, but this game should
have at least 2,000 people
watching, as well as a national audience,’’ he said
hours before tipoff.
The attendance was 2,600.
“The main challenge for
the school at this point is
to make sure the facility is
clean, staffed, and that there
is enough change for those
who are buying tickets.’’
Moraine Valley’s new
athletic center officially
opened in March, with the
previous gymnasium being used occasionally for
practice.

Christmas is over and New Year is on its way ‘No Excuses Journaling’
Christmas is over. It comes and goes so fast. I can’t
figure out how, but it seems to sneak up on us even
though it’s the same date every year. I think I should
start my shopping for next year now, but I would forget
where I put everything.
That seems to happen more and more with me.
Sometimes I buy birthday cards, can’t find them, buy
them again and find the first ones. And I swear there is
a gremlin in my house because I can see something everyday and when I need to use it, it’s gone. Sometimes
I think I am losing my mind.
Happy New Year! I can’t believe another year has
flown by. Here’s to a happy and healthy 2015.
Did you know that people in Mexico eat 12 grapes
at the countdown to midnight? It represents 12 wishes. They also spread lentils around the doorway as a
symbol of abundance, and sweep them out the door to
drive everything bad from the previous year out the
door! Wear red underwear to attract love, white for
good health and green to attract money. Mexican pan
dulce is served at midnight. The baker puts a lucky
coin in the dough and the person who gets it when the
sweet bread is being cut is considered the luckiest in
the coming year.
Mexican tables are set with the best linens; dinner is
a variety of sweet, spicy, strong and sour with alcoholic
beverages and some without alcohol. There are always
floral arrangements and lots of candles, blue candles
bring peace, yellow and abundance, red is passion,
green is good health, orange brings intelligence and
white isgood health.
At midnight it’s customary to ring a bell for joy and
happiness and kiss all the relatives! Throwing a glass
of water at the street symbolizes washing away the

tears. Put a coin in your shoe when you seek prosperity.
Take your suitcases for a walk around the block if you
want to go on a trip. If you want a promotion at work,
get a ladder and stand higher than anyone else at your
gathering.
I received a very nice letter and Christmas card
the other day from Jeana Wimunc. It was so nice to
hear from you! Sometimes I wonder what happened to
people I used to see all the time.
Traffic in the neighborhood has really been unbearable. It seems like they are closing us in. Kedzie
northbound, Kedzie southbound and 55th Street to the
west. Why do they have to work on all the streets at the
same time?
It wouldn’t be as bad if everyone knew how to drive
and leave intersections open, but they are in too much
of a hurry to give up the extra inches, and really all it
does is take longer. You can’t argue with stupid!
All the construction at 55th and Kedzie seems to be
coming along. St. Gall looks so pretty at night with all
the lights around Our Lady of Guadalupe. I hope the
new businesses will boost the economy in our neighborhood! It is so sad to see local businesses close, but
it’s exciting to see new ones moving in.

owner, Cacciottolo also is the 23rd Ward

Being that it is an election year, Martin Arteaga, one of the aldermanic candidates in the 23rd Ward, also dropped by.
“We just had a very successful fundraising party. It was very well attended
and everyone seemed to really enjoy themselves,” said UBAM vice president Dr. Joe
Loduca on Monday. He and UBAM president Anita Cummings, and board members Tom Boudos and Cindy Bieniek went
over last-minute details about the program
with Fair Play manager Sheri Fahy on
Monday before driver Wally Czajowski
headed off to deliver the boxes.

lanes of 95th Street, ran a red light and
slammed into cars waiting for the light to
change, police said.
Alcohol intoxication is being ruled as a
contributing factor to the crash, as well as
excessive speed, police said.
The third person in the car, Sister Sharon Ann Walsh, survived the crash.

of food and necessities such as toilet paper.
Cummings said UBAM gets the addresses of financially struggling seniors
from the senior services program run by
the CAPS program.
She noted that they also get names
through programs such as the St. Vincent
De Paul Society and other non-profit organizations that are in contact with seniors.
“We could always use more names. A
lot of people don’t want to admit that they
could use a little extra food,” said Cummings.
“We’re very appreciative of all the people and organizations who helped make
the event such a success,” she added.
She thanks all the local people and
business owners who donated items for
the silent auction, a popular feature at the
holiday fundraiser. Popular items found
on the raffle table included Blackhawks
and White Sox items, and a football
signed by Bears great Dan Hampton.
Each year, Southwest Airlines also donates two round-trip tickets that are also
raffled off.
“This is our only charity fundraiser,
so we really appreciate what everyone
does,” Cummings said.
UBAM board member Ken Pannaralla,
executive director of the Southwest Home
Equity Program, gave a short speech toward the end of the event, praising Cummings for all the work she has done with
UBAM since its founding in the 1980s.
She also was the former chair of the
Home Equity Program.
But Cummings gave credit to all the
board members for their work in organizing the annual event.
“People ask us why we do this (community) work, and the only answer is,
because it needs to be done,” she said.
Twenty-three people were treated at the
scene and 11 were taken to an area hospital, officials said.
This investigation is now closed, Oak
Lawn Police Division Chief Randy Palmer said.
Witnesses told police they initially saw
Carthans slumped over the wheel of the
pickup truck at 95th Street and Western
Avenue and asked if he needed assistance.
Carthans declined help and drove away,
police said. Moments later, Carthans was
involved in a four-car accident at 95th
Street and Keeler Avenue near Target.
None of the drivers in the crash were seriously injured or transported to the hospital, officials said.
Carthans then drove at a high rate of
speed toward 95th Street and Cicero Avenue. As he approached the intersection,
he crossed into the eastbound lanes, ran
the red light and struck cars stopped at a
traffic light on eastbound 95th Street, officials said.

bring Washington around to understand that too, and producing policies
that promote American manufacturing.”
He referred to a point made by former Cong. Don Manzullo, who said
there are dozens of federal agencies
and departments with little or no coordination between them.
Lipinski contended that this leads
to duplication of services, as well as
different areas of government working at cross purposes and against
each other, creating rules and regulations that hinder job creation.
“Failure to plan is a plan for failure,” Lipinski said. “We cannot allow
our country to do this.”
The congressman noted that he began the research and drafting of the
bill in 2009. Several times over the
years, a version of the bill passed in
the House, but died when it was not
brought up in the Senate. He credited Cong. Adam Kinzinger (R-16th),
the chief Republican sponsor of the
legislation in the House, and Kirk
for his leadership in the Senate, for
ensuring that it survived this time
around.
“This bipartisan bill shows that
Washington is finally starting to get
it, that manufacturing is good for
America. Washington needs to promote policies that support manufacturing.”
“Manufacturing is the beating
heart of our economy,” said Kirk.
“The people of Illinois reflect the
highest work ethic of the Midwest.
It is these men and women who keep
me optimistic about the future of Illinois and the country.
Kirk pointed out that components
of military aircraft used in Afghanistan are manufactured at Atlas Tool
& Die.
“This is an essential national defense component, keeping our personnel safe in Afghanistan, produced
right here,” the senator said.
Lipinski explained that the first national strategic plan required by the
new law will be done in 2018, in the
second year of the new presidential
term, and will follow the same schedule every four years.
He said there is no point in doing
it any earlier as the Obama administration is ending, and it will give each
new administration a year to prepare.
Zach Mottl, co-owner of Atlas and
former chairman of the Technology
& Machining Association of Illinois,
noted that this legislation is the first
of its kind since 1791, when Alexander Hamilton, as Treasury secretary,
released his “Report on Manufactures.”
He said TMA represents more than
1,000 companies and 30,000 employees in Illinois. “This act creates a system and framework to plan, execute
and review (national manufacturing
goals).
“We (at Atlas and the TMA) are so
grateful for this bipartisan view. Together we have to talk about a longterm strategy and the success for the
U.S. economy,” Mottl said.
Bill
Hickey,
president
of
Lapham-Hickey Steel in Bedford
Park, also spoke during the news conference. Both he and Mottl testified in
favor of the bill on Capitol Hill.
“Manufacturing has been decreasing,” said Hickey. “There has been a
6 million loss (in jobs) over the past
15 years. We didn’t have a strategy
for manufacturing.
“What we’re going to do here is
set an agenda and re-energize Main
Street.”
