meetings for vacancies

By FELIX SARVER

fsarver@shawmedia.com NEW LENOX – Following the resignation of two board members, the Lincoln-Way High School District 210 board began their first meeting to discuss candidates for their seats.

At Wednesday’s special meeting, the board went into closed session for the appointment of members to fill seats that became vacant after former Board President Kevin Molloy and board member Christopher McFadden resigned.

According to the agenda, the business of the meeting will not be completed in one evening and it will be recessed and reconvened within 24 hours.

Since McFadden’s resignation, District 210 officials gathered 23 applications for a seat on the board.

Among those who applied include Joseph Spalla, a former District 210 board candidate, and Todd Velky, a Lincoln-Way Area Taxpayers Unite (LWATU) treasurer.

LWATU is suing the Board of Education to halt the closure of North high school and any other school.

Other board matters

The board approved a recommendation from the district administration to change insurance coverage to WRM/Catlin/AIG for $439,127 for a policy year that would start Feb. 12.

Ronald Sawin, assistant superintendent of business, said since the start of the year, Steven Langert, interim business consultant, pursued insurance coverage from different brokers and the district received three proposals.

WRM/Catlin/AIG had the lowest cost compared to two other companies, Sawin said.

The board also approved changes to senior student

At the last board meeting, district officials discussed how the state would not fund ACT exams this spring.

“I said it last time, we’re in the business of educating kids,” said Christine Glatz, board secretary. “Unfortunately, the state has failed us again… They have funded this in the past. We’ll cover it this year. I agree we will discuss it every year.”

Public comment

Some residents who spoke at Wednesday’s meeting had more criticisms for the district and one speaker wanted to know the progress of work done by Langert, who was hired Sept.

10.

Frankfort resident Chris Zimmerman said contrary to Superintendent Scott Tingley saying North high school must close, there are options to keep the schools running.

“Board members, please look at your own budgets.

You guys are doing better than ever while operating all four schools,” she said.

A community analysis of recent district finances showed a net $5.3 million improvement, she said.

The board voted in August to shut down North high school in an effort to resolve its financial crisis. Last year, the Illinois State Board of Education gave District 210 a financial watch rating.

‘Medication Take Back’ adds Channahon drop box

By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com CHANNAHON – The village of Channahon on Wednesday became the fourth municipality to welcome a medication drop box as part of Grundy County Coroner John Callahan’s “Medication Take Back” program.

The program is meant to collect excess, unwant- Jeff Wold ed or expired pill medications, which helps keep them out of young people’s hands and protects the environment.

“Once a week, Missey we get someone Moorman asking if they can Schumacher bring unwanted medications to us for disposal,” Channahon Police Chief Jeff Wold said. “We used to refer people to the drop John box in Minooka, Callahan but we are now happy to accept them.”

Callahan said the program has grown so much that he or his staff make two trips per year to Covanta Secure Services Inc. in Indianapolis, where the med-

ication is destroyed in an incinerator. The program started in 2008 and a drop box was placed in 2012 in the Morris Municipal Services Facility, in 2014 at Minooka Village Hall and in 2015 at the Coal City Police Department.

The Channahon drop box is located in the lobby of the Channahon Police Department, on the north side of the Channahon Municipal Services Center at 24555 S. Navajo Drive.

Funding for the $700 receptacle was provided by two donations of $350 – one from the Channahon Lions Club and another from the Channahon-Minooka Rotary Club.

“This is all done with no expense to taxpayers, which is a result of community groups across Grundy County – such as today’s placement of this container with the assistance of Channahon Lions and Rotary clubs,” Callahan said.

The program was started to avoid accidental poisoning, drug abuse and environmental contamination. Expired or unwanted medicines, if flushed down the toilet or drain, are a source of pollution in wastewater, Callahan said, because sewage treatment plants are not designed to deal with drugs.

“We don’t want any accidental poisonings, substance abuse or pollution of our waterways,” Village President Missey Moorman Schumacher said.

Bolingbrook rector says drive-thru ashes become ‘a sacred moment’

By BOB OKON

bokon@shawmedia.com BOLINGBROOK – One woman was working 12 hours Wednesday. Another was having surgery. One man just stopped by because his wife had told him how good it felt.

These were a few of the 92 people who visited the Episcopal Church of St. Benedict on Ash Wednesday for what’s been dubbed “Ashes to Go.” Most of them never left their cars.

The church at 909 Lily Cache Lane in Bolingbrook was providing drive-thru ashes for the fourth year, joining an Ashes to Go movement that has brought ashes to people on the streets and at train stations.

Eight church leaders and members gave ashes in the parking lot at St. Benedict’s or held signs along the road to let people know that ashes were available to passers-by from 6 to 9 a.m. At times, two, three and even four cars lined up.

It’s meant to be convenient for people who otherwise might miss Ash Wednesday, but who did not intend to make the observance an afterthought.

“It’s a sacred moment,” said the Rev. Heidi Haverkamp, rector at St. Benedict’s.

“It’s very individual,” Haverkamp said. “You meet this one person while you give the ashes. But you still have the confession. It’s important to us that we just don’t have the ashes and then they go. We have a prayer together.”

‘To dust you shall return’

Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of Lent, a season of repentance for Christians that leads up to Easter Sunday.

The ritual of applying ashes to the forehead is a reminder to Christians of their mortality.

“Remember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return. Go in peace,” the ministers at St. Benedict said to each person after putting ashes on the forehead.

Such a somber moment was also remarkable for the good feelings it produced.

“It makes me feel better,” Rena Blazonczyk said, when asked why receiving ashes was important to her. “It’s what we should do.”

Sama Allen said he drove to the

church for ashes after getting a call.

“My wife was on her way to work, and she noticed the ladies out here,” Allen said. “She called me and told me to stop by and get ashes. When they put the ashes on her forehead, she felt really good. She told me to come here and get blessed.”

Allen, an Episcopalian although not a member of St. Benedict’s, said the ashes that he, like others who stopped by, would wear on his forehead throughout the day are an important sign of his belief.

“I do believe in the Lord Jesus

Christ,” he said. “I believe Jesus died on the cross for my sins.”

Longing, not lazy

Juana Tamayo said she was thinking about surgery she would be having Wednesday when she approached St. Benedict’s.

“I saw ‘Ashes to Go.’ I thought it was amazing,” Tamayo said.

Tamayo walked into the entryway of St. Benedict’s to get her ashes. Before she left, she prayed with Priest Associate Donna Ialongo about the surgery she would be having.

“She said she was worrying about her surgery today and saw this and came in spontaneously,” Ialongo said.

Later in the morning, Ialongo would give ashes to two co-workers who were given a break at work to come and get ashes.

Havercamp said she’s heard complaints that people avoid Ash Wednesday church services when they receive ashes in the drive-thru service. St. Benedict’s also held noon and 7 p.m. services Wednesday.

But Havercamp said Ashes to Go is a way to reach out to people who might otherwise miss ashes and want them.

“It’s really nice to go out and meet people,” she said. “I don’t think everyone realizes that many people work two jobs. I don’t think most people are here because they’re lazy. I think they’re here because they’re longing. They’re longing to be closer to God.”

By DARLENE SUPERVILLE The Associated Press

SPRINGFIELD – President Barack Obama came here nine years ago to declare it was “time to turn the page” on cynical, special- interest politics.

He returned Wednesday lamenting that the story hasn’t changed.

In a day trip to the state capital where he began his career and also launched his presidential bid, Obama fretted over the harsh tone and hardening partisanship he says is turning off voters. He waxed nostalgic about the chummier relations and bipartisan deal-making of his youth. He appealed to state lawmakers, and the public, to rid politics of “polarization and meanness” that discourage widespread participation in civic life.

“It’s gotten worse,” he said bluntly in an address to the Illinois General Assembly, on the anniversary of his entry into presidential politics.

“Today, that kind of citizenship is threatened by a poisonous political climate that pushes people away from participating in our public life,” Obama added. “It turns folks off. It discourages them. It makes them cynical. And when that happens, more powerful and extreme voices fill the void.”

The sentiment echoed Obama’s 2007 address delivered in the cold on the steps of the Old State Capitol building. It is one Obama has repeated throughout his presidency amid miserable relationships with congressional opposition and new levels of gridlock in Washington.

Still, it carried added resonance on Wednesday, as outsider candidates in both parties celebrated huge victories in the New Hampshire primary. In the presidential campaign to succeed him, both parties are dealing with voters deeply frustrated with the political climate. Republicans have seen a willingness to embrace coarsening conversation – Donald Trump has made a habit of using personal insults barely suitable for print. On the Democratic side, Bernie Sanders is calling for political revolution fueled by animosity toward corporate interests.

Obama has not formally waded into the Democratic race, but is increasingly trying to play the role of a Greek chorus. On Wednesday, he spent much of his time outlining his worries about the role of big money in politics and the impact on legislating.

He warned that compromise is necessary, and “doesn’t make me a sellout to my own party.” He offered a few

President Barack Obama receives a standing ovation after addressing the Illinois General Assembly on Wednesday at the Illinois State Capitol in Springfield. Obama returned to Springfield, the place where his presidential career began, to mark the ninth anniversary of his entrance into the 2008 presidential race. broad prescriptions for changing the political climate, including the way congressional districts are drawn and making it easier for people to vote in elections.

He noted with some amusement that his audience, the state lawmakers he held up as model for bipartisan pragmatism, seemed to have kneejerk partisan responses to his suggestions.

“This is fascinating to watch,” he said.

Obama’s trip was laden with nostalgia for the capital where he got his start as a state senator. Before delivering his remarks, he dropped by one of his old lunchtime haunts to greet diners and pick up an order to go.

He spoke fondly of getting to know his colleagues in Springfield over fish fries and poker games, an aspect of political life in Washington that has all but disappeared as House and Senate lawmakers rush out of town on

weekends to spend time with family back home.

“I miss you guys,” he said as he left the cheering chamber.

Obama called “my inability to reduce the polarization and meanness in our politics” one of his few regrets as president, although he didn’t acknowledge any specific mistakes. As culprits for the climate, he pointed to the media, short-sighted political tactics, gerrymandered districts and the Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision that opened up the floodgates for undisclosed, unlimited contributions.

From Springfield, he was headed to California, where he will raise money for Democrats, appear on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” and host the leaders of 10 Southeast Asian nations for a two-day summit beginning Monday.

Obama returned to a statehouse that has weathered its share of turmoil since he left it behind in 2004.

Two Illinois governors have been convicted of corruption and sent to prison – including Democratic Gov. Rod Blagojevich, who is serving time for trying to sell the U.S. Senate seat Obama vacated when he became president.

Meanwhile, Democrats who control both chambers of the Legislature have butted heads with Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner since the Republican and former businessman took office last year. The two sides have yet to agree on a state budget more than eight months into the fiscal year, prompting massive cuts to higher education and social service programs.

Obama returned to Springfield with several of the architects of his successful first presidential campaign, including then-chief strategist David Axelrod and Valerie Jarrett, who remains a senior White House adviser. Both accompanied the president aboard Air Force One.

Joliet Township man charged with sexual assault of 13-year-old

JOLIET – A 23-year-old Joliet Township man was arrested Monday and charged with aggravated criminal sexual assault and criminal sexual assault after Will County sheriff’s deputies were called to a junior high school in Joliet.

Upon arrival, deputies spoke to a 13-year-old student who reported to school administrators that she believed she was pregnant, according to a Sheriff’s Office news release. The victim was interviewed and taken to Silver Cross Hospital in New Lenox, where doctors confirmed that she is 26 weeks’ pregnant.

Arthur D. Johnson, of the first block of Girard Boulevard, was picked up by detectives at his home and questioned at the Sheriff’s Office investigation division. According to the news release, Johnson made statements implicating himself in at least five sexual assaults of the girl during the last year. Authorities said Johnson and the girl were acquainted before the alleged abuse.

Additional charges are pending.

Johnson is being held in the Will County Jail and had a bond hearing Wednesday afternoon in Will County court.

More witnesses identify shooter in Joliet restaurant slaying

By BRIAN STANLEY

bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Gerardo Franchini’s killer made sure the job was finished, witnesses testified Wednesday.

Christopher Thompson is on trial on charges he killed Franchini on Aug. 3, 2013, at Louis’ Family Restaurant.

Anna Oliveros was sitting in the next booth, facing the one where Franchini, his wife, Edna Franchini, and Edna’s 5-year-old daughter and 4-year-old niece were having breakfast. She noticed the tension when Thompson and one of his girlfriends walked into that section, she testified. “[Thompson] said something [to the effect of], ‘Look at you sitting there with your family,’ and Gerardo said, ‘Whenever you want to take care of business, I’m here,’” Oliveros recalled.

Thompson’s companion, Tuesday Henderson, got him to leave the restaurant, but a few minutes later a man wearing mostly the same clothing walked in with a handgun and fired two shots at Gerardo Franchini, Oliveros said.

ing back and his wife grabbed the girls and pushed the table away. The shooter walked up, said something I didn’t hear and shot him three more times,” Oliveros said.

The assailant then turned back to the front section of the restaurant where everyone had taken cover except for Jim McGrath, who was sitting in a booth along the east wall.

McGrath testified Wednesday that he is partially deaf and had turned off his hearing aids because of the noise he expected in Christopher the crowded diner.

Thompson “I heard ‘pop, pop, pop.’ To me it sounded like cheap firecrackers,” McGrath said. “I saw my friend was staring [behind me] and I turned around and I was flabbergasted – there was nobody at the tables.”

McGrath said it took him a second to realize all the other patrons had ducked under the tables and then a man carrying a handgun walked out of the back section.

“He’d pulled the neckline of his T-shirt up to his forehead and flipped it back so it hung down to cover the sides of his face,” McGrath said.

McGrath called 911 and police arrived two minutes later.

Officer Tony Nowak testified he approached the booth and asked Edna Franchini if she saw the shooter. She identified the assailant as “Little.”

Prosecutors said “Little” is a name Thompson was known by on the street.

He and Gerardo Franchini knew each other through mutual friends, but had previously gotten into a fistfight and had another tense encounter.

Both men had criminal records and Franchini was once tried for murder.

Thompson’s defense lawyers said he took Henderson home and went to another girlfriend’s house to sleep.

Henderson is expected to testify Thursday.

McGrath and Oliveros were interviewed by police at the restaurant and McGrath identified Thompson from a photo lineup later that afternoon.

THE HERALD-NEWS

JOLIET – Crews from the Fox TV series “Empire” will return next week to the Rialto Square Theatre to film another scene for the show.

The Rialto announced Wednesday that the “Empire” filming will lead to the cancellation of a public tour normally scheduled for 1:30 p.m. Tuesdays.

“Empire” crews are expected to be in the theater Sunday through Friday.

A concert scene for the series about the hip-hop entertainment business was filmed in November in the Rialto theater. This time “Empire” will film in the ticket lobby and rotunda, Rialto announced in a news release.

“Producers from the hit TV series were so impressed with the Rialto the

last time they filmed here that they contacted me again to check date availability,” Trish Stoner, events coordinator for the theater, said in the news release.

The box office will remain open for ticket orders by phone. But the box office windows will be inaccessible during filming, Rialto officials said.

Tickets can be purchased by phone by calling 815-726-6600. A phone order fee will not be charged Monday through Friday while the windows are inaccessible. Tickets also can be purchased online through Ticketmaster.

“We are sorry for any inconvenience that might be caused by this activity,” Rialto general manager Randy Green said in the news release. “But we are delighted to be part of this outstanding television program.”

bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Changes are being considered in the Nowell Park recreation building before the Joliet Park District puts the project out to bid.

The district is preparing bid requests for both the recreation building and the Pilcher Park road and trail project.

The projects – two of the biggest plans included in the $19.5 million referendum approved by voters in 2014 – initially were slated to go out for bids last year.

Both projects should be completed in 2017, interim Executive Director Matt Pehle said. Work at Pilcher Park

$6.5 million Nowell Park project are expected to go out by April. The bids were delayed as the district worked out an easement issue with the city.

The 35,900-square-foot Nowell Park building also would include a fitness center and multipurpose rooms, with walking and biking paths added outside.

Bid requests for Pilcher Park roads and trails should go out before the end of February, Pehle said. The $2.5 million project includes repairs and improvements on the trails.

That project also was slowed last year when the Will-Grundy Center for Independent Living raised concerns about handicapped accessibility to the trails and Pilcher Park Nature Center.

Pam Heavens, executive director for the center, said Wednesday that the group’s concerns have not been addressed.

“We keep getting rejected,” she said.

Heavens said the center would like to see more access, including devices to assist people with visual impairments use the trails and visit the Nature Center.

“We’ll keep trying to reach out to them,” she said.

Pehle said the district made small changes after hiring contractor Recreation Accessibility Consultants to review the project for disability access issues. Those changes primarily dealt with handicapped parking areas.

female park district employee.

A special park board meeting has been scheduled for 5 p.m. in the boardroom at the Presence Saint Joseph Inwood Athletic Club. Park Board President Glen Marcum said he expects a contract to be approved and the executive director to be named at the meeting.

The district in October hired the Illinois

Association of Park Districts to conduct a search.

“They whittled it down to nine or 10 applicants that they submitted,” Marcum said. “We got people from three different states – Illinois, Indiana and Missouri. They were very good, qualified people. They all had years of park experience.”

The park board interviewed four candi-

dates and chose two finalists before making an offer, Marcum said.

Park District Finance Director Matt Pehle has served as interim executive director since Egizio was placed on leave in August.

Egizio had been executive director since 2004. He had worked 26 years with the district.

LOCAL BRIEF Joliet park board slated to hire executive director Thursday

The executive director would replace Dominic Egizio, who resigned in October from his $160,000-a-year job amid an investigation into complaints made by a

The district is reconsidering how to use the Nowell Park building for both indoor soccer and basketball, Pehle said.

The building still could be equipped with a portable floor that would be laid over the indoor turf for basketball and volleyball, Pehle said. But the district is considering a lighter floor than previously planned so the floor would be easier to maneuver.

He said the district also is considering installing a permanent floor and dividing the indoor arena to be part soccer field and part basketball courts.

Joliet Park District gets bids ready for projects

Library director addresses misinformation regarding referendum at meeting

By VIKAAS SHANKER

vshanker@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – Plainfield Public Library Director Julie Milavec tried to clear the air Wednesday morning during the monthly Plainfield Coffee with the Mayor meeting about background and plans for constructing a proposed new library.

“There’s some misinformation floating around right now,” Milavec said, noting that the library’s plans have come under criticism on social media and online media comments.

The library is asking residents, through two referendum questions, for permission to issue bonds for $39 million and increase the limiting property tax rate to build and maintain the new facility.

If both questions pass with voter approval March 15, it will give the library the authority to increase property taxes by $14.91 per month – amounting to an additional $178.92 per year – for a $300,000 home.

“One of the biggest points of misinformation floating around has been how many people the library serves,” Milavec said. “People are looking up the U.S. Census numbers for the [village of Plainfield] and saying that’s what the library serves.”

The village’s population was 42,138, according to 2014 estimates for the U.S. Census Bureau. However, the library’s district covers more than just the village, serving more than 75,000 residents.

Recent online comments show some residents are concerned about the tax

impact of the library, and question the need to build a $39 million facility in an age of declining book use and increasing technology.

Milavec said many of those questions and concerns have been addressed, and she encouraged residents to research the library’s yearlong process to develop those plans on the district’s website, plainfieldpubliclibrary. org.

Village Trustee Bill Lamb echoed Milavec’s comments at the public meeting Wednesday.

Public works

Plainfield Public Works Director Allen Persons gave several updates to construction projects in the village: • Canadian National has been installing conduit cables and crossing arms at the 135th Street railroad-pedestrian crossing. The rail company is expediting the process, which had been delayed for months.

• The village received a $2 million grant for improvements to 127th Street between Meadow Lane and Heggs Road. The project is expected to go out to bid in early summer and will take about one year to complete.

• Traffic poles and signals at Route 126 and Meadow Lane have been installed, but are waiting on installation of fiber-optic cables by the Illinois Department of Transportation, connecting them for synchronization to other signals west along Route 126.

• Construction on Route 30 is shut down for the cold weather. The project is on schedule and ready to start back up in the spring.

Shorewood trustees approve business park addition

By VIKAAS SHANKER

vshanker@shawmedia.com SHOREWOOD – Village trustees on Tuesday approved some of the final touches on the Shorewood Crossroads Business Park development.

Shorewood Crossroads Business Park LLC is expected to start construction on a new, speculative building at the end of Gregory Court off Capista Drive.

Mayor Rick Chapman said the development is small, but a step in the right direction.

“It kind of fills that project in,” Chapman said, noting the building will likely have five to six tenants.

The business park addition will consist of a 25,000-square-foot pre-cast concrete building on a lot size of 1.93 acres, including a Dumpster enclosure area and a masonry monument sign.

The building has the space to accommodate up to eight tenants and would include a depressed dock, bicycle parking and 53 vehicle parking spaces, including five handicap-accessible spaces.

Peripheral vascular disease (PVD) is a serious condition that affects millions of Americans.

Tuesday, February 23 | 6:30 p.m.

Presence Healing Arts Pavilion 16615 South Route 59, Plainfield Peripheral vascular disease (PVD) refers to blockages in arteries in the body other than in the heart which can lead to stroke or debilitating leg pain.

JOLIET – No one was injured Monday afternoon when shots were fired in the 2200 block of Graystone Drive in the Wexford subdivision of Joliet.

Joliet Police Capt. Bob Briney said officers responded about 3:40 p.m.

Monday to reports of shots fired at a house. Briney said a house in the 2200 block was indeed hit with shots, but no one was injured inside the house.

“Officers responding found three spent shell casings in front of the house, and a projectile was recovered inside the house,” Briney said.

“It went through the wall, but no one was hit.”

According to the report, the shots were fired from an older-model, green four-door vehicle that was last seen traveling south on Graystone.

“The matter is still under investigation at this time and no one is in custody,” Briney said.

Jumbled Republican field hopes for survival in S.C. COLUMBIA, S.C. – Hoping for survival in the South, a muddled field of Republican presidential contenders descended Wednesday on South Carolina, no closer to clarity about who can stand between Donald Trump and their party’s nomination.

Not me, Carly Fiorina announced, dropping out of the campaign. A Chris Christie spokeswoman said his race was over, too. But a sizeable field remained.

To the dismay of party leaders, all signs point to a drawn-out battle for delegates following Trump’s resounding victory in New Hampshire.

Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, under immense pressure to prove himself after a devastating fifth-place finish, was looking for a fight that could last for months or even spill into the first contested GOP national convention since 1976.

“We very easily could be looking at May – or the convention,” Rubio campaign manager Terry Sullivan told The Associated Press.

If Trump had Republicans on edge, Democrats were feeling no less queasy.

Rejected in New Hampshire, Hillary Clinton sought redemption in Nevada, where a more diverse group of voters awaited her and Bernie Sanders.

Sanders, a Vermont senator and self-proclaimed democratic socialist, raised $5 million-plus in less

than a day after his New Hampshire triumph.

The contributions came mostly in small-dollar amounts, his campaign said, illustrating the resources he’ll have to fight Clinton to a bitter end.

Both Clinton and Sanders worked to undercut each other among African-Americans and Hispanics with less than two weeks until the Democratic contests in Nevada and South Carolina.

Sanders met for breakfast in Harlem with the Rev. Al Sharpton, a civil-rights activist. Clinton, meanwhile, announced plans to campaign with the mother of Sandra Bland, whose death while in police custody became a symbol of racial tensions. And Clinton’s campaign deployed South Carolina state Rep. Todd Rutherford to vouch for her support for minorities.

“Secretary Clinton has been involved in South Carolina for the last 40 years,” Rutherford said. “Bernie Sanders has talked about these issues for the last 40 days.”

Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, the conservative firebrand and victor in the leadoff Iowa caucuses, returned to the center of the fracas after largely sitting out New Hampshire. He drew contrasts with Trump as he told a crowd of 500 in Myrtle Beach that Texans and South Carolinians are more alike than not.

“We love God, we’re gun owners, military veterans and we’re fed up with what’s happening in Washington,” Cruz said.

A true example of forgiveness and love

“I forgave ISIS.” An Iraqi Christian in Jordan sitting in what looks to be a church auditorium gives her testimony.

“We love our enemy, even the ones that hurt us.”

Her videotaped testimony is part of an exhibit recently on display at New York Encounter, an annual faith event held in the Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan.

I thought of her as Washington, D.C., gathered to pray and talk about praying at the National Prayer Breakfast. I thought, too, of Pope Francis’ recent instruction to an audience at the Vatican: “Desire always the salvation of those who offend us.”

That’s a tall order. And yet, that’s what Christianity is about.

And the Christians who’ve had to upend their lives on account of ISIS – and those who have died refusing to recant their faith – are Exhibit A. I recently asked the exiled Chaldean archbishop of Mosul, a city in Iraq that no longer has a diocese because ISIS drove out all the Christians there, if he’d ever had a hard conversation with one of his people who were tempted to at least go through the motions of signing up for Islam, just to keep their life and home. He answered in the negative. “I’m proud of them,” Archbishop Amel Nona told me.

The exiled Iraqi Christian in the video showing at New York Encounter beams with gratitude.

“I know that God loved me ... and he always took care of me. But I wasn’t paying attention, I did not know. ... I never thought of things this deeply, but I realize now that God has been with me from the beginning but I was not 100 percent with him. He is present everywhere.”

In his brief address to the National Prayer Breakfast, Speaker of the House Paul Ryan rejected the idea that prayer isn’t action, an idea bruited by some in the wake of the terrorist attacks in Paris and San Bernardino. “I have noticed a growing impatience with prayer in our culture. You see it in the

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

VIEWS Kathryn Jean Lopez papers or on Twitter. When people say they’re praying for someone or something, the attitude in some quarters seems to be, ‘Don’t just pray; do something about it.’ But the thing is, when you are praying, you are doing something about it.

You are revealing the presence of God.” The Lord is present, indeed, in the witness of Christians who understand both the miraculous gift and the heavy responsibility of their faith, the people who tell us: “Before I had everything but I was unsatisfied, now I have nothing and I am joyful.”

The European Parliament just did what the United States hasn’t managed to: Call the mass murder of Iraqi Christians and other religious minorities genocide. We might choose to look away, but it is happening out in the open, right before our eyes. Western silence about this tragedy that may leave the Middle East without Christians in the foreseeable future, in Christianity’s cradle, is a terrible scandal. Standing up for these people will make us better. These people evince a hope that much of the world so often does not understand.

They have a peace and a trust that money can’t buy.

We’re knee-deep in a contentious election cycle where nothing seems certain. Our common ground – whether we are religious believers or not – may be that we have a freedom that we do not fully appreciate.

When we really think about it, so many of us have everything, but do we have joy? Are we too distracted – even with important things such as family, work and politics – to remember who we are?

ANOTHER VIEW

Cameras in the courtroom shouldn’t have a bad rap Cameras rarely are allowed in New York courtrooms even though the law permits it. Thanks, O.J. Simpson.

Simpson’s 1995 murder trial is back in the cultural conversation with Tuesday’s premiere of the FX miniseries, “The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story.” Simpson, a Heisman Trophy winner and star running back for the Buffalo Bills, was accused of stabbing to death his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend Ron Goldman, at her Los Angeles condominium.

Simpson’s trial dominated the news in a way that hadn’t happened before and hasn’t happened since. The proceedings were televised wall to wall on CNN, the only 24-hour cable news network at the time. It made media stars of prosecutor Marcia Clark, Judge Lance Ito and Simpson’s “Dream Team” of lawyers, led by Robert Shapiro, Johnnie Cochran and Robert Kardashian (yes, that Kardashian). The case sparked endless water cooler conversations and percolated into pop culture.

At the end of the eight-month trial, a jury acquitted Simpson of murder. A misguided backlash against cameras in the courtroom followed.

The circus atmosphere outside Ito’s courtroom wasn’t the fault of the cameras inside it. While the media outside chewed on issues of race, celebrity, domestic violence and police procedure,

the cameras inside provided a view of the proceedings unfiltered by lawyers or journalists. Americans with the time to watch it were able to judge the evidence and the arguments for themselves.

Whether you agreed or disagreed with the verdict, the trial’s openness gave the jury’s decision a legitimacy it would not have had otherwise.

In New York state, the rules allow cameras in courtrooms “to the fullest extent permissible by law.” But it’s up to the judge to decide on a case-by-case basis. Too few judges say yes to cameras.

The courts are the only branch of our government that operates largely out of the public eye. Journalists, as the eyes and ears of the public, are present sometimes. But they can’t be everywhere.

Criminal defense lawyers almost always object to the presence of cameras based on fears the outcomes of their clients’ cases will be prejudiced. New York’s decade-long experiment with cameras in the courtroom showed those concerns could be addressed and balanced with the public’s right to know.

Jonathan Lippman, who recently retired as New York’s chief judge, believes cameras should be allowed in courtrooms unless there’s a good reason to ban them.

As yet another step toward transparency in our government, we agree.

St. Francis’ Charnelle Reed goes up for a shot against Purdue University Calumet during the first half Wednesday in Joliet. Reed led the Saints with 21 points and four rebounds.

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL: UNIVERSITY OF ST. FRANCIS 77, PURDUE UNIVERSITY CALUMET 67

3-POINT DELUGE LIFTS SAINTS USF women deadly from long range in third quarter vs. Purdue Calumet

By DICK GOSS

dgoss@shawmedia.com JOLIET – There’s nothing like the 3-ball to change the complexion of a basketball game.

The University of St Francis women were involved in a tight struggle Wednesday night with Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference foe Purdue Calumet. But that was before the Saints nailed six 3s in the third quarter to grab a 56-50 lead en route to a 77-67 victory.

The win was the eighth straight for

USF (24-3, 14-2), which is ranked No. 5 in the nation in NAIA Division II. It also was the Saints’ 16th in the last 17 games, including 12 of 13 this season, at the Sullivan Center. Purdue Calumet (20-7, 11-6) is ranked 15th in NAIA Division II. “The 3-pointers helped a ton,” St. Francis coach Samantha Quigley said.

“We had some people in foul trouble and needed shooters in the game.”

The Saints – who trailed, 31-30, at halftime – sport plenty of those deadeyes.

Angelica Osusky began the 3-point

barrage in the third quarter. Christina Ekhomu, Charnelle Reed, Alexis Brown, Brown again and Kamari Jordan followed suit before the quarter ended. Ekhomu added another from beyond the arc early in the fourth quarter to extend the Saints’ lead to 65-58.

“When those 3s start going in, the crowd gets into it, and the bench really gets into it,” said Reed, who led the Saints with 21 points. “Sometimes, we have a slow start like we did tonight, but we got it back in the third quarter.”

Reed hit all three of her 3-point tries; and Jordan, who totaled 15 points, was 3 of 5 from long range. The Saints, who rank second in the nation in 3-point shooting, were 10 of 22.

So who is the team’s best 3-point shooter?

“Kamari Johnson,” Reed said.

Jordan was standing nearby, and Reed laughed when Jordan helped her realize the slip-up. “That’s Jordan, Kamari Jordan,” Reed said.

Brown chipped in 12 points and four

22 MEN’S BASKETBALL: UNIVERSITY OF ST. FRANCIS 76, PURDUE UNIVERSITY CALUMET 65

Kennedy steps out, helps USF men win

By DICK GOSS

dgoss@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Leading scorer Ilya Ilyayev had done all the scoring for the University of St. Francis men’s basketball team in the first seven minutes of the second half.

Ten of his game-high 22 points Wednesday night at the Sullivan Center had come during that span. His marksmanship helped the Saints stretch a 3928 halftime lead to 49-33 over Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference foe Purdue Calumet.

But it was time for Ilyayev to take a break. In his absence, Dwight graduate Jens Kennedy, a 6-foot-8 senior post player, stepped out and nailed two 3-pointers from the top of the key. And reserve forward Jean Pietrzak hit a 3-pointer and scored off an assist from Breshion Tucker after a Peregrines turnover as USF grabbed a 60-41 lead en route to a 76-65 victory.

“You never know who is going to be

hot on any given night,” said Kennedy, who finished with 15 points and hit all three 3-pointers and all four free throws he attempted.

“Ilya (Ilyayev) is a very good player. We love to have him with us. But if they’re going to let me take shots from the top of the key, I don’t mind. I’ve been shooting those since high school.”

Kennedy, who averages 16 points, is the Saints’ most accurate 3-point shooter. He has hit 23 of 40 this season, a 57.5 percent clip.

“Jens could have the best 3-point percentage on the team because he really picks his spots,” USF coach Ryan Marks said. “If he is able to get a little separation and get a shot in a spot where he is comfortable, he will shoot it.”

USF (24-2, 16-2), ranked No. 2 in NAIA Division II, won its 10th straight game for the second time this season.

The Saints have won 17 consecutive home games and are 30-1 at the Sullivan Center dating back to Jan. 29, 2014.

Purdue Calumet (10-17, 3-15) did not

“If they’re going to let me take shots from the top of the key, I don’t mind.”

Jens Kennedy

USF men’s basketball senior post player act like a big underdog, however. The Peregrines were down, 67-48, with 5:47 left but went on a 13-0 run to slice the Saints’ lead to 67-61 with 2:37 left.

Marks called a timeout, and the strategy was simple enough – get the ball into the hands of the best free-throw shooters. The Saints came in with a .773 percentage from the line, second best in NAIA Division II. Jo Jo Ballestero and Ilyayev, two of the very best, combined to hit six straight. Along with Landus Anderson’s clutch 3-pointer with 1:05 left, that finished off the Peregrines.

“They’re a scrappy team,” Marks said of Purdue Calumet. “They did a

good job attacking the basket. We had some foul trouble and had to make adjustments.”

Of course, Marks has the type of deep bench that helps with those adjustments. Ten Saints logged between 12 and 29 minutes, and two reserves that Marks cited did not see the floor.

“One of the agonizing things for me is guys like Ryan Peter and Brian Edwards did not play tonight,” he said.

“We’ve had injuries, and both of them have played quality minutes at important times. But when we’re healthy, it’s hard to work everyone in.”

Anderson, who enjoyed a big first half, joined Ilyayev and Kennedy in double figures with 14 points, including 4 of 6 from 3-point range. Pietrzak had six rebounds, Jake Raspopovich four assists and Iain Morison four blocked shots.

The Saints, who lead the CCAC in field-goal percentage, shot .489 from the field and .478 from beyond the arc on 11 of 23. True to their M.O., they were 19 of 21 from the free-throw line.

• DELUGE

Continued from page 21 assists after being blanked in both categories in the first half. Ekhomu contributed eight points and four assists.

Nichole Davidson scored seven off the bench and grabbed five rebounds, as did Ekhomu and Jordan Giddings.

When she got the team together just before the third quarter began, Quigley tried to inject some levity to snap the Saints – who were outrebounded, 38-27 – out of the doldrums.

“I said, ‘Let’s be different players.

Who are you, anyway? Who are you?

I haven’t seen you in a while.’ The girls came out in the third quarter and played with more energy.”

Some of that boost came from players off the bench.

“Alexis (Brown) did a nice job, and even Mary Rouse and Cody Brand didn’t play that much, but they know their roles,” Quigley said. “They came in and gave us quick bursts of energy.”

“Every team is going to give it their best against us,” Jordan said. “Sometimes, we struggle in the first half. But we have great shooters. These girls all can shoot 3s. They stepped up big time when we needed them.”

Forward Cassidy Deno was huge for the Peregrines. She hit 13 of 14 free throws in a 27-point night.

“We didn’t always play real smart on the defensive end,” Quigley said.

“We did OK, but she (Deno) is really a good player. We played some good

GIRLS BASKETBALL: JOLIET CATHOLIC 52, CARMEL 33

Nick Leonard

Joliet Catholic girls basketball coach

The Florida State-bound Ekhomu led JCA (14-8, 4-2) defensively and with 16 points, 11 coming in the first quarter.

With the clock winding down in the third quarter, Ekhomu faked a jump shot and passed the ball to classmate Kaitlyn Williams. Immediately after Williams sank her third 3-pointer, the duo pointed at each other to give credit. Williams finished with 13 points.

“My teammates got me the ball really well, and I have enough confidence to knock the shots down,” Williams said.

After committing last week to University of St. Francis, senior Andri-

ana Acosta scored nine points. She and classmate Therese Rouse (three points) pressured Carmel’s offense and made it difficult for the Corsairs to score.

The fifth senior, Farrell, was able to start the game after being injured for the past three weeks. The University of Chicago-bound guard subbed out, however, so she could continue to rest for the upcoming regional.

JCA is ranked third in the Class 3A Providence Regional behind Rich East and Lincoln-Way West. The ranking, however, does not worry the Angels.

“We’ve come a long way,” Williams said. “Playing tough teams has helped

build us to where we are today. It’s just going to help us with playoffs.

Every team that we have faced, we learned from.”

“Our record doesn’t show our team,” Leonard said. “Our schedule has been front-loaded beginning to end. We’re battle tested. We’re going to be ready for what the Providence Regional is going to have for us. There are some good teams there, and we’re going to be as prepared as possible and give our best effort.

“In our opinion, if we play the way that we should, we’ll win that regional. We’re feeling pretty confident going into it. We’re getting healthy.

We’re clicking offensively, and defensively we’re clicking, too.”

Behind the seniors is a good group of underclassmen. Juniors Emma Ehrsam and Danielle Scudder scored six and four points, respectively, while freshman Jennifer Krizka also got on the board with a point.

All of the Angels who stepped onto the court hustled and showed heart.

Getting points throughout the roster and playing with intensity is what they’ll need come playoff time.

“We know what we need to do in order to keep winning, so we’re going to do that,” Ekhomu said.

BOYS BASKETBALL: LINCOLN-WAY WEST 67, BRADLEY-BOURBONNAIS 61

Pettinato’s 34 lift Warriors past Boilermakers

By CURT HERRON

cherron@shawmedia.com NEW LENOX – One of the qualities that Brian Flaherty needs to see from his Lincoln-Way West boys basketball team is demonstrating the ability to not only get a late lead but also execute down the stretch to preserve the win.

The Warriors have let some games slip away when they’ve held late leads, and they were determined not to allow the same thing to happen Wednesday when they met a good Bradley-Bourbonnais squad.

After trailing in the opening quarter, West moved in front in the second period and was able to maintain a lead the rest of the way as it captured a 67-61 SouthWest Suburban Conference Red victory over the Boilermakers.

Marco Pettinato scored the initial 15 points for the Warriors (12-8, 5-5) and wound up with 34 points and 10 rebounds to help his team complete

the season sweep over Bradley.

“We’re trying to get our regional seed up, and you have to get up for games like this when you’re playing a ranked team,” Pettinato said. “We’ve squandered some games, so that was a big one that we needed to get just to help us out to just get the ball rolling again.

“We don’t have that many guys who were on the team last year, and we really haven’t been in that many close games. This is one of those occasions where you see that we’ve learned from what’s happened in the past few weeks. We’re pretty similar to how we were last year. We have fun, spend a lot of time together and all like each other, and that’s a big thing.”

The Warriors coach knows that he can count on players such as Jon Marotta and Pettinato to score points each night, but he also is looking for more balance, and he got that Wednesday.

After collecting just one basket in

the opening half, Cam Gavin finished with 12 points while adding six rebounds and five assists. Marotta (six rebounds) scored all 10 of his points after the break, and Nolan Green chipped in with nine points for the winners.

“This was a nice win,” Flaherty said. “And the thing that I liked about it is that we were a lot more balanced.

We went through a little lull for about a two-week period where we would have leads at the end, and we were playing not to lose instead of playing to win.

“I was very happy to see the kids have the confidence at the end of the game. The other thing we’re emphasizing is trying to get more balance, and we’re starting to work toward that. We’re getting other guys who are capable of stepping up and scoring.

We have guys who can shoot the ball and take it to the basket, and they’re developing more confidence.”

West moved in front for good at 1:06 into the second quarter when Pet-

tinato picked up his 15th point after converting on an old-fashioned threepoint play to put his team up, 15-13.

The hosts led by as much as seven points in that period before taking a 28-24 halftime lead.

The lead got as big as 39-29 with 3:36 remaining in the third quarter after a layup by Gavin. But the Boilermakers (15-6, 4-6) stormed back with eight straight points; and after Colin BeDell (17 points, five 3-pointers) hit a trey to make it 41-40, Gavin put in a free throw to give the Warriors a 42-40 lead with one quarter left.

West gradually built an eight-point lead, and Bradley was unable to get any closer than four points after that.

Other top scorers for the Boilermakers were Zach Hollywood (19 points, six rebounds) and Micah Bradford (15 points).

Although Bradley turned the ball over only eight times compared with 17 for the Warriors, West outrebounded it, 26-17, and connected on 26-of-38 attempts from the floor (68.4 percent).

JOLIET – It’s no secret that the Joliet Catholic girls basketball team started off the season with a shocker. Five players left the program; and on top of the roster change, the girls were introduced to a new coach.

The whole senior class could have looked past the season and toward their respective college careers.

That’s not the case, however.

All five seniors started Wednesday night and helped lead the Angels to a 52-33 senior night win over Carmel.

“It was a good night for our seniors. They’ve been through a lot,” JCA coach Nick Leonard said. “We went out, made it a special day for them. Unfortunately, Mia [Farrell] couldn’t play a lot, but she got introduced, and that was the first time she has been on the court in about three weeks. The girls played hard. They played well, and we got the win.”

“It was a good win because the last time we were here, the outcome wasn’t what we expected,” senior Nicole Ekhomu said. “It was good to win in front of our fans, and it gave us confidence in ourselves so we can make a playoff run.”

“Our record doesn’t show our team. Our schedule has been front-loaded beginning to end. We’re battle tested. We’re going to be ready for what the Providence Regional is going to have for us.

There are some good teams there, and we’re going to be as prepared as possible and give our best effort. In our opinion, if we play the way that we should, we’ll win that regional.”

By ANDREW SELIGMAN The Associated Press

CHICAGO – Jeff Teague had 17 points and eight assists, Al Horford scored 16 and the Atlanta Hawks routed the struggling Bulls, 113-90, Wednesday night.

Dennis Schroder had 18 points and hit three of his team’s 13 3-pointers. Paul Millsap scored 15, and the Southeast Division leaders headed into the All-Star break on a winning note after back-toback losses to last-place Orlando.

The Hawks led by five at halftime and broke it open in the third quarter, sending the sloppy Bulls to their fourth straight loss and 13th in 18 games.

Pau Gasol had 20 points and 10 rebounds for the Bulls after being selected Tuesday to his sixth All-Star team as a replacement for injured Bulls teammate Jimmy Butler.

Doug McDermott scored 17, but Derrick Rose was off target after missing a game because of soreness. The 2011 NBA MVP finished with 14 points on 6-of-18 shooting.

The Bulls, who saw themselves as a threat to Cleveland, continued their freefall in the Eastern Conference. They committed 19 turnovers, resulting in 25 points for Atlanta,

and added to their long line of injuries with Taj Gibson exiting because of a strained left foot. The team announced late in the game that he would not return.

Atlanta led, 53-48, at halftime thanks to Horford’s 13 points and put the Bulls away in the third, outscoring them, 38-25.

After Rose drained a 3-pointer 31 seconds into the second half, Atlanta went on a 15-2 run.

Kyle Korver hit a pair of 3s and scored eight during that stretch. Teague added five points, and Millsap finished the run with a 16-foot turnaround jumper, making it 6853.

TIP-INS

Bulls forward Nikola Mirotic had his stitches removed, and the team hopes to have him start working out in the pool in the next few days, coach Fred Hoiberg said. Mirotic lost about 15 pounds after an appendectomy two weeks ago and the subsequent removal of a hemotoma. “From the sound of things, it was the first complication that this particular doctor has ever had in an appendix removal,” Hoiberg said.

“It’s hard. It’s a tough blow for Niko. It’s a tough blow for (our team) because I thought he was playing good basketball.”

26 PREP WRESTLING

Joliet West’s wrestlers end regional with a bang

By CURT HERRON

cherron@shawmedia.com NEW LENOX – In a season where a steady stream of injuries prevented it from having much success in either dual meets or tournaments, Joliet West’s wrestlers were as healthy as possible for Saturday’s Class 3A Providence Catholic Regional.

And thanks to some late successes on the third-place mat, the Tigers had not only one of the best days of the campaign, but also one of the better showings in the rugged event.

West wound up with six qualifiers for this weekend’s Bolingbrook Sectional, which tied it with Lincoln-Way East for the second-most. Only the host/ champion Celtics had more with eight.

Coach Chuck Rumpf’s squad advanced three seniors and three juniors to the sectional to help it claim fifth place in the 10-team meet, fewer than 10 points out of third.

“We were fortunate to have a nearly full lineup, and it was probably one of the healthiest points we’ve been all year,” Rumpf said. “But our kids are resilient, and I’m proud of how they competed. We’ve had some adversity with injuries, but they really showed a lot of heart.”

Darvell Flagg, who entered with only 21 matches, wound up winning the title at 113 pounds over Lincoln-Way Central’s Joe Brauer; Will Spruell reached the 195 finals, where he fell to Crete-Monee’s Lavall McNulty.

Austin Poch, who had only 19 matches under his belt, lost his opener but then picked up three straight wins to advance at 120; and Joshua Durrly also went 3-1 to move on at 138, losing only to the eventual champ, Crete-Monee’s Christian Hall.

But the Tigers saved the most dramatic moments for last after getting wins from Meekah Ben-Israel (220) and Robert Ford (285) in third-place matches. Ben-Israel bounced back from a semifinal loss with two quick falls, and Ford also lost in the semifinals but responded with an overtime win and then a narrow victory over Providence senior Tom Younker.

However, an effort that typified how the Tigers competed during the day was turned in by someone who didn’t qualify. Senior Ben Mahn actually was able to earn a split in his first two matches but then had to injury-default two minutes into his consolation semifinal match.

“Ben’s losses kind of sting, since he’s a senior and a captain,” Rumpf said. “Maybe he shouldn’t have been

And that was a huge win for Robert, since he won against a kid who had beaten him earlier in the year in a dual meet. He wrestled really smart and found a way to beat him.”

Steelmen hit trifecta

Anytime an individual from Joliet Central can compete for a title in a tough regional, it’s a noteworthy occurrence. Not only did three Steelmen seniors reach the championship mat Saturday, but they all did so in consecutive order.

Tyler Lawson (160), Kyle York (170) and James Budrick (182) each pulled out wins in the semifinals to earn spots in the finals. In title matches, Lawson lost a 4-2 decision to Lincoln-Way North’s Dylan Conway; York rallied late before falling, 9-7, to Lincoln-Way East’s Nick Mihajlovich; and Budrick lost by fall to Lincoln-Way East’s Brian Burns.

With 31-match winner Jason Jude (120) getting eliminated, Lawson now leads the qualifiers with 27 wins, while Budrick has 22 victories. One of the more interesting stories of the day was York, who entered with a 9-9 record but won three straight before the title match.

“Tyler has wrestled Lincoln-Way North’s kid three times and is getting closer every time,” Steelmen coach Gardner Coughlen said. “Kyle wrestled out of this world. He was in a pig-tail and made it all the way to the finals and beat the two- and three-seeds. That’s the best he’s wrestled all year. And James ran into a really tough one-seed.

He got after it, but it’s hard to beat a guy when he’s that tough.”

Eat, drink and be studious Joliet congregation hosts noontime discussion on the Torah

LEFT: Rabbi Charles Rubovits leads Lunch and Learn, a weekly study of the Torah, on Feb. 4 at Joliet Jewish Congregation.

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

JOLIET – Which of the 10 Commandments is most important to you?

That was a question Rabbi Charles Rubovits posed two weeks ago at “Lunch and Learn,” a group of 10 to 20 members of various faiths who meet for 75 to 90 minutes most Thursdays at Joliet Jewish Congregation to study the Torah and enjoy a light lunch.

Mark Turk of Joliet, who said he has attended since Rubovits began Lunch and Learn six years ago, said that for him, the most important commandment is “honor your father and your mother.”

“The respect to those that have come before you and have helped you is, I think, a deeper meaning into the respect we should be showing each other,” Turk said.

Although Turk is a lifelong member of Judaism, he said Lunch and Learn is enlightening to him.

The perspectives shared by a diverse group – about a third of attendees are not of the Jewish faith, Turk said – combined with Rubovits’ penchant for exploring the history with the spirituality makes the discussion interesting.

Such is the case, Turk said, with the recent study of the Israelites’ exodus from Egypt, which included a deep study of the plagues that spurred the decision and the mechanics of moving hundreds of thousands of people out of a country to wander in a desert for 40 years.

It reminded Turk of the European refugees.

“Except they’re being forced out of their homeland,” Turk said, “instead of exiting at their own request.”

Rubovits said he was introduced to Lunch and Learn when he served another congregation in the Quad Cities. The program, Rubovits said, was already in place; he simply kept it going.

“When I came here, I thought, ‘Let’s try this again,’ ” he said. “It caught on and remained.”

The basis of the program

Rubovits said he follows a syllabus produced by the United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism from its school in Jerusalem. The syllabus addresses the portion of the Torah that will be

read at the upcoming Sabbath – what Christians refer to as the Old Testament, Rubovits said – and then poses questions for discussion. “[The questions] force us to find the answers,” Rubovits said. “Sometimes we stay on subject, and sometimes we go off the subject.”

Everyone is welcome to Lunch and Learn, Rubovits said. It starts promptly at noon and ends at 1:15 p.m., when Rubovits’ alarm goes off.

“Otherwise, I’d prattle on for hours,” Rubovits said. “People have and vegetarian chili are two Rubovits other things to do in their lives.” recalled.

Dear Abby: “Roger” and I have been seeing each other for two years. (We are both 50.) He is very handsome.

We go to movies, ride our bikes together, work out at the gym and attend other events. He calls me every night, sends emails during the day – even calls me when he’s on a break from work.

He never asks me to pay for anything and sends me flowers on special occasions.

He will kiss me goodnight, but he has never held my hand or been affectionate in any other way. People we see think we’re married or seriously dating and have asked about it. He tells them we just “hang out” and he’s just a friend.

Roger says he’s seeing only me, but he’s on a dating website every night instant messaging younger women and talking to them for hours.

I know it because one of my girlfriends is on the same site and checked it out for me.

My friend says Roger is a good companion and I should stay with it. But I’m attractive and accomplished.

I think I deserve a fuller relationship with someone who is less platonic. Abby, what do you think? – Hang-

ing Up On Hanging Out Dear Hanging Up: Roger

has made it no secret he’s comfortable with the relationship as it is and doesn’t intend for it to progress. It appears the two of you are best friends. (Nowhere did you mention you are in love with him.)

I do think after all this time you should ask him why the relationship hasn’t become sexual. The answer might be Roger is impotent, asexual or he’s just not interested in you that way.

If that’s OK with you, then continue what appears to be a pleasant relationship.

However, if you need more – and I think you do – then it’s time for you to move on.

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips Dear Abby: My mother won’t stop nagging me about marriage. She insists I “must” be married by the age of 22 and have kids by 25, which I think is inconceivable. Abby, I’m only 17.

Marriage and boys are the last things on my mind.

I have told her that her “talks” make me uncomfortable and I don’t plan on getting married anytime soon (if ever), but she won’t let up.

She keeps saying she knows she’s right, and when I’m 22 I’ll thank her. Other than this, she’s great and we don’t have any other problems.

She has been saying this a lot recently because I’m going off to college this year, and that’s where she thinks I’ll find a husband. How can I get through to her? – Virgin

Territory Dear Virgin Territory: It

would be interesting to know why your mother feels this way. Could she have been born and raised in a culture in which early marriage and motherhood are expected of women?

With her mindset, I don’t think you will “win” an argument with her over this.

Be patient with her, and when she raises the subject, point out women of your generation are expected to complete their education and be able to support themselves financially before they marry in case the need arises later (i.e. divorce or widowhood). It’s a fact. Women in the United States – particularly college-educated women – are now marrying and having children later than they did a generation ago.

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff gies to help reduce your heart disease risk: • Avoid tobacco.

• Exercise for at least 30 minutes a day.

• Adopt a healthy eating plan. That means choosing unsaturated and monounsaturated fats instead of trans fats or saturated fats; eating more fiber; and reducing your salt intake.

• Maintain a healthy weight (a body mass index between 18.5 and 24.9).

• Control blood pressure, with medication if needed.

• Control cholesterol, with a statin if needed.

• Control blood sugar with exercise, dietary changes and medications if needed.

Both patients and doctors frequently are frustrated by the fact a treatment that improves one medical problem sometimes can cause another. This is an example. Of course, doctors and research scientists constantly are trying to find treatments where the benefits greatly exceed the risks. But there are, unfortunately, very few treatments that have absolutely no risks.

Compared to when I was a medical student, the treatment of breast cancer – through medication, radiation and surgery – has greatly improved. Today’s treatments are both more effective and less risky. And I’ll bet in the next few decades, the situation will improve further.

• Write to Dr. Komaroff at www.askdoctork. com or Ask Doctor K, 10 Shattuck St., Second Floor, Boston, MA 02115.

Dear Dr. K: I had radiation therapy for breast cancer a few years ago. Now I’m reading radiation therapy might increase my risk for heart disease. Is this true?

Dear Reader: Radiation therapy uses high-energy rays to damage or destroy cancer cells. It harms cancer cells primarily by damaging their genes. But the radiation also can damage the genes of healthy cells.

Newer radiation techniques allow higher doses of radiation to be aimed more precisely at the area being treated. This reduces damage to healthy tissue near a tumor, but it doesn’t eliminate it completely. For example, radiation to the chest, as done during breast cancer treatment, can harm the heart muscle, arteries and valves.

I spoke to my colleague Dr. Deepak Bhatt, executive director of Interventional Cardiovascular Programs at Brigham and Women’s Hospital Heart and Vascular Center. He noted in women who have had breast radiation, the lifetime risk of having a heart attack or another major cardiac event increases about 3 percent. Women who have radiation to the left breast, which is closer to the heart, have a higher chance of problems. The overall dose of radiation also plays a role.

Radiation-related heart effects can emerge as soon as five years after treatment. So women who have breast cancer at a younger age may develop heart problems earlier than would otherwise be expected.

Undergoing baseline heart tests before treatment starts sometimes can help doctors monitor heart changes. That way, they can be addressed quickly if they occur.

You might not be able to protect yourself completely from the side effects of radiation, but you can take other steps to bolster your heart health. Here are some proven strate-

SOUTHWEST AUTO SALVAGE WE BUY JUNK CARS LOCKPORT, IL

Domestic 815-723-6878 Jean Nidetch, a cofounder of Weight Watchers who died last year, said, “It’s choice -- not chance -- that determines your destiny.”

That is certainly true in this deal.

South is faced with a choice of side suits to play on, and often it would not matter, but in this layout only the correct line will work.

South is in six spades. West leads the club king. South takes the trick and cashes his two top spades to learn that West will get a trump trick.

How should declarer continue?

North’s three-heart rebid was a transfer, and four clubs was a superaccept promising four-card spade support, a doubleton somewhere and the club ace. When North happily showed his diamond ace, South took a shot at slam.

Declarer is faced with two losers: one spade and one club. Somehow he has to discard one of dummy’s clubs before West can ruff in and cash the club queen. If West ruffs as dummy’s third club evaporates, that does not matter. But should South start on hearts or diamonds?

It looks obvious to play on hearts because declarer has only five cards in that suit -- but it is wrong. West must hold three diamonds for South to have any chance; and just in case he has four, declarer should cash three tricks in that suit first. If they split 3-3, South shifts immediately to hearts. Here, though, declarer takes the fourth diamond and pitches one of dummy’s clubs. Then he plays off his hearts to jettison dummy’s last club. West’s ruff is too late for the defense.
