Julun found guilty of first-degree murder

By JIM DALLKE jdallke@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The murder trial of Rodney Julun wasn’t short on dramatic moments.

From the defendant’s emotional testimony of rape and self-defense, to Julun twice asking to leave the courtroom during the trial, to an emotional outburst of support from Julun’s uncle that led to his arrest in court, a tense conclusion wouldn’t have been surprising as the jury came back with its decision Tuesday afternoon.

But as Judge Daniel Rozak read Julun the guilty verdict, there were no courtroom outbursts or tears, except for some quiet sobs of joy from two of Jones’ family members.

Julun, who was found guilty of first-degree murder in the death of New Lenox Township resident Dwight Jones, stoically sat in court as the verdict was read. His family, two rows behind, barely moved.

It took the jury less than two hours to return with its verdict. Julun is scheduled to be sentenced April 1 and faces between 20 and 60 years in prison.

Jenean Bell, Jones’ niece, said she was relieved the trial was over and justice was served.

“It’s such a release,” Bell said as she stood with her aunt in the courthouse hallway after the verdict was read.

On Monday, Julun testified he had been raped by Jones, and he struck Jones in the head out of self-defense.

Prosecuting attorney Christopher Regis called Julun’s story “laughable” and “ridiculous,” and told the jury that it was another example of Julun trying to dodge a murder con-

viction.

Bell said she wasn’t fazed by Julun’s testimony and knew her uncle wasn’t capable of committing a rape.

“I had no response to that,” Bell said. “It was just more lies from his mouth. I knew it was nothing but lies.

“My uncle is not a rapist.”

As Julun was shackled and taken out of the courtroom, he quickly looked back to his family before being ushered out of the room.

Julun’s family declined to comment.

“Rodney Julun is an amoral street hustler and an insidious liar who went home Rodney Julun with Dwight Jones intending to brutally murder him just so he could steal and fence his valuables,” State’s Attorney James Glasgow said in a news release.

Glasgow praised the work done by prosecutor Chris Regis and sheriff’s detectives in the case, saying it “proved Rodney Julun guilty of this heinous murder beyond a reasonable doubt.”

Regis outlined to the jury the six times Julun’s recollection of events changed since his arrest in June 2011, and told jurors not to buy Julun’s testimony.

The defense saw things differently.

“Rodney did the only thing he could do. He defended himself from another attack,” Defense Attorney Amy Christiansen said.

There were a number of unsusual moments throughout the trial, beginning with Julun’s decision to twice leave the courtroom during testimony from two of the proescution’s witness-

es. Julun first asked to leave when his videotapped interogation, which included his admission to the murder and robbery, played for the jury. He asked to leave again during testimony from a forensic patholiogist who testified on the cause of death.

Then on Monday, while Julun was describing the details of the alleged rape, a man whom family members identified as Julun’s uncle shouted out: “I love you, man.” He was arrested for contempt of court.

From the beginning of the trial, prosecutors argued that on June 10, 2011, Julun rode with Jones from Chicago to New Lenox Township with the intent to rob him. When the robbery didn’t go as planned, Julun struck Jones in the head with a lamp, drove off in Jones’ Volkswagen Jetta and returned the next day with two accomplices to rob the home, prosecutors said.

The defense claimed that Jones picked up Julun with the intent of paying him for sexual favors. When Julun arrived to the home, Jones made him perform sexual acts before ultimately raping Julun, the defense argued. When the rape was over, Julun punched Jones in the neck and hit him in the head with a lamp to prevent further attacks.

Julun returned the next day with two friends, John White and David Reed, to retrieve his cell phone, the defense argued. Julun testified that it was White and Reed who stole Jones’ items, which included a TV, laptop and jewelry.

White and Reed pleaded guilty and were sentenced in June 2012 for their roles in the crime. White was sentenced to six years in prison, and Reed was to four years.

VOTERS HEAR CANDIDATES TALK 3 gubernatorial candidates speak at Q&A discussion in Plainfield

By VIKAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com

W

ill County residents got to hear three Republican candidates for Illinois governor explain their stances on job creation, education and issues with the public and private sector Tuesday night at Plainfield Central High School.

The discussion, hosted by the Will County Tea Party Alliance and styled as a question and answer session, saw a tame discussion between panelists and candidates Bill Brady, Kirk Dillard and Dan Rutherford.

“We want to educate people on the candidates,” co-organizer and panelist Stephen Balich said. “Right now, people just don’t know who to vote for.”

Candidate Bruce Rauner was invited to the forum but declined the invitation. An empty seat on stage signaled his void.

WLS Radio host Dan Proft emceed the discussion by directing questions and asking rapid-fire questions.

A candidate was granted rebuttal time if mentioned by another candidate.

Dillard focused his answers on making Illinois a destination economy for people to create jobs, passing a constitutional amendment to withhold salaries for legislators if they don’t pass balanced budgets and reforming Medicaid.

Dillard fielded questions about his connections to unions and education reform.

“Public sector unions are one thing, but private sector unions are another,” Dillard said, adding he has taken money from engineer unions. “I respect teachers. We’ll see if I have endorsements of teachers unions this time around.”

Brady tried to assure conser-

State Senators Kirk Dillard (center) and Bill Brady (right) listen to state treasurer Dan Rutherford speak during a Republican gubernatorial candidates forum Tuesday at Plainfield Central High School. vative voters he was fit to win the election against Gov. Pat Quinn after losing in the last election.

“I’ve learned you can’t spend enough time in Cook County,” Brady said, expressing confidence in the same staff that ran his last campaign. “You know what you’re going to get with Bill Brady. I’m the only one who’s got the base in support.”

Rutherford harped on his experience as state treasurer and the fact he is the only candidate that has won a state election while clarifying his giving 19

additional people government salaries.

“They’re not salary increases, they’re promotions for people doing exemplary jobs,” Rutherford said. “I promoted from within, I understand good stewardship.”

All candidates fielded questions about pensions, education, the public and private sector and taxes.

“I would have preferred if Bruce came,” Balich said. “He had a prior commitment so he couldn’t come.”

The three Republican candidates took aim at absent Bruce

Rauner, who was the subject of a Chicago Sun-Times story Tuesday that revealed Rauner’s daughter received admission to Walter Payton College Prep before Rauner paid Payton Prep Initiative for Education $250,000.

Rauner also is facing fallout after flip-flopping his position on minimum wage.

The topics came up numerous times in candidates questions.

Joliet resident Audrey Logan is an independent voter and she came to the forum for her son, who is in the debate club at Plainfield Central High School

and had a chance to personally talk with candidates. But she came out of the forum feeling she knew the positions of each candidate.

“Now I feel like I can be a more informed voter if I do choose to vote Republican,” Logan said.

Plainfield resident Betty Pemble came to the forum to learn more about each candidate.

“I thought it was very informative,” Pemble said. “Taxes are a big issue for me. I thought the candidates all explained their financial perspective.”

200 students set for MLK Day of Service

By DENISE M. BARAN UNLAND

If you go

Shaw Media Correspondent On Monday, an estimated 200 Joliet Township High School students are set to participate in the eighth-annual Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service.

And coordinator R. Dale Evans Sr., family self-sufficiency program coordinator for the Housing Authority of Joliet, is beyond thrilled.

Eight years ago, Evans envisioned a united Joliet, a community where people from all backgrounds worked side by side to help others. Today, Evans believes the realization of that vision is possible.

“I’ve gotten so much back from volunteering then I ever gave,” Evans said, “so I truly believed that if I gave other people that opportunity to volunteer, they’d expand their network of friendship by meeting people who came to do the same thing.”

Small wonder that Evans, a man whose Christian beliefs run as deeply as his dedication to King’s spirit, organized the first two events through Lively Hope Church of God in Christ in Joliet, where Evans belonged at the time.

“I thought the church should be the launching pad,” Evans said, “The pastor, Frank Edmon, and I grew up together on the south side of town and I knew I’d find like-minded people in that congregation. Faith organizations, at their core, provide service to people in need.”

That year, a dozen people “deep cleaned” the church’s sanctuary and day care center, and then headed over to Lamb’s Fold Center for Women and Children in Joliet to clean its kitchen. The following year, Evans again coordinated the service day through Lively Hope and added a few more projects.

For the third and fourth events, Evans simply mentioned it on Facebook and, to his delight,

n What: Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service n Where: Cafeteria at Joliet Township West High School, 401 N. Larkin Ave., Joliet n Register: Strongly encouraged, but not required. Call 815-724-1142. n Information: Check online for more information regarding specific planned projects for this year.

R. Dale Evans Sr., family self-sufficiency program coordinator for the Housing Authority of Joliet and organizer of Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service, credits his mother, the Rev. Genevieve Brown of Joliet, for instilling him a desire to serve his community.

Other events that honor Martin Luther King Jr. in the Joliet area include: • Community Unity Jazz Brunch featuring the JTHS Central Jazz Combo; 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday. The purpose is to celebrate the diversity, talent and common unity in Joliet and to support programs and activities to improve the quality of life. Cost is $25 a person. Proceeds to benefit the Unity CDC Programs, the Housing Authority of Joliet Family Self-Sufficiency Program, the JTHS West B2B Program, and CSC Scholarship Fund.

• The Rainbow/ Push Coalition of Joliet will hold an Ecumenical Celebration on Sunday at 7 p.m. at Prayer Tower Church, 500 Stryker Ave. he received plenty of responses.

“People who want to help just need to know where and how,” Evans said. “If people don’t show up, that’s one thing. If they don’t know about it, that is a totally different thing.”

Four years ago, Evans asked the Community Service Council (Evans is its past president) to host the Martin Luther King Day of Service and it continues to do so. This broadened the number and variety of projects Evans could offer and attracted a greater number of volunteers, especially youth, for whom Evans feels this event is especially valuable.

Evans was in fourth grade when he was bused to Woodland School in Joliet, his first experi-

ence with integration and one he feels changed his life – and his viewpoint of others for the better.

“I was not so happy on that first day,” Evans said. “I had preconceived notions about people and they had preconceived notions about me. I found out those notions were not based on facts. I made friends with people that did not look like me, which was not the case before I went to Woodland School.”

Evans also credits his faith and zeal for community service to his mother, the Rev. Genevieve Brown. She was one of the first black grade and junior high school referees; later she became president of the Joliet chapter of “Mended Hearts” club following

a triple bypass operation, Evans said. The club, hosted by Presence Saint Joseph Medical Center, offers support to those undergoing open heart surgery.

“She had to step down a couple years ago for another bypass,” Evans said, “but now she’s back in the seat as president.”

In addition to the projects, the Martin Luther King Day of Service will include an opportunity for voter registration, a “welcome” by Joliet West High School Principal Teresa Gibson and “inspiration” by the Most Rev. R. Daniel Conlon, bishop of the Diocese of Joliet.

During the lunch, following completion of the projects, community service hours will be

awarded and teams may share reflections on the day’s experiences.

A representative from the Illinois State Treasurer I-Cash Program – which connects residents with unclaimed assets – also will be on site that day.

Last year, about 300 people participated in the event, Evans said, with about 160 of them youth of various ages. Approximately 60 individuals “woke up that day and decided to serve” although Evans said advance registration helps ensure individuals are matched with their preferred projects. This year, about 350 people have committed to participating, he added.

“My goal is 500 volunteers and 50 projects,” Evans said.

Evans wants to see kids get involved year after year so that Jan. 20 annually is seen less as a day to skip school and more of a cherished tradition of serving others, a blessing they will hopefully keep moving forward.

“When kids go off to college and graduate school, they’ll remember this experience and recreate it in another place,” Evans said. “A colleague of mine with a 5-year-old son – she brought him two years ago – told me the other day that he asked her, ‘Mommy, are we going back to work on Martin Luther King day?’

“That made my day. She hadn’t thought about it until he asked but now she’s going to bring her family out again.”

New Lenox fire district wants tax hike

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com NEW LENOX – The New Lenox Fire Protection District is proposing property tax increases for the first time in 25 years.

Residents on Friday will have a chance to learn more about a referendum on the March ballot that if approved, would increase the tax on a $200,000 home by $86, according to the fire district.

District officials will hold a public conference about the referendum at 9:30 a.m. at the New Lenox Fire Protection District Station 1, 261 E. Maple St. The referendum will be on the ballot for the March 18 primary.

The plan is to increase rates from 36 cents to 49 cents per $100 of overall assessed property values, which would roughly be the equivalent of an additional $86 a year, or $7 a month, for a $200,000 home, according to a news release issued Tuesday.

District officials said the popula-

tion in their service area has more than doubled since the last tax increase in 1989, and much of their equipment – fire engines, trucks and ambulances – is outdated.

“The revenue stream we had in 1989 is no longer sufficient to provide the level of service our customers are used to,” said Joe Levey, secretary of the district board of trustees.

Since 1989, the district’s population increased from 16,574 to 34,063, according to the news release. The number of commercial and industrial buildings has increased along with the population.

Demand for district services has increased since that time as well, fire officials said. In the past three years, the district has received an average of 15 percent more calls each year.

Levey said these are emergency response calls for fire, ambulances or hazardous materials.

Increasing the tax rate also would help the district hold the ambulance billing rate at zero, reduce insurance

costs, update services and decrease response time to underserved areas.

District officials also say the referendum will fund pay increases to current market rates for full-time firefighters and paramedics.

“If you can’t pay a fair salary to an employee, they will leave when they get a job offer for a higher salary,” he said.

The New Lenox Fire Protection District has one of the lowest property tax rates among fire protection districts in Will County, said Thomas Gilbert, an attorney for Ottosen, Britz, Kelly Cooper, Gilbert & DiNolfo. The firm represents about 24 fire protection districts – including New Lenox – in the county and more than 100 statewide, he said.

“They’re inordinately low as the years have gone on ... they’ve been limited,” Gilbert said. “And they’ve had a lot of growth out there, which has meant more work for the district, and their resources are really stretched.”

Critics blast latest Plainfield Park District move

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – Critics of the current Plainfield Township Park District Board of Commissioners are calling leadership dysfunctional after Executive Director Garrett Peck eliminated the district’s planning department.

Peck said the duties of the planning department are being outsourced to Hitchcock Design Group and the move will save the district money.

“I view them as completely dysfunctional,” said Jim Racich, a regular critic of the current board and a member of the Plainfield Village Board. “The favoritism is unbelievable. Peck is incompetent and doesn’t belong in the job.”

Racich is among a group of Plainfield resi-

dents who have been critical of the park district since Peck was made executive director in May. The elimination of the planning department continues that controversy since it involves the exit of the park official who had been slated to become executive director before a new board put Peck in the job.

Peck said the company taking over planning duties, Hitchcock Design Group, will work on an atneed basis.

The planning and design services retainer between the park district and Hitchcock sets a guideline for how projects and payment for services will work. The agreement doesn’t specify the price for services rendered by Hitchcock.

“Eight or nine years ago we probably needed the planning positions,”

Workers finish Larkin repairs Water main had broken last week

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Roadwork repairs for Larkin Avenue were finishing up Tuesday after a water main break last week.

City workers were patching up portions of the right lane of Larkin Avenue after damaging a catch basin during the course of repairing a water main that broke Friday, said

Jim Eggen, the city’s public utilities director.

The lane at Ingalls Avenue was closed while work was done but should be open Wednesday morning, Eggen said.

The water main may have been damaged by fluctuating temperatures, Eggen said. After damaging the catch basin during repairs, city workers spent Monday fixing it and Tuesday patching up the road.

Peck said. “For now, we aren’t seeing the same projects as in the past.

Hitchcock is a one-stop shop. We can pay them when we do have a project.”

Park District officials announced last week the resignations of planning department employees Cameron Bettin and James Less.

Less worked under Bettin, who was the superintendent of planning and assistant executive director.

Bettin’s salary was $84,500 and Less’ salary was $54,195, according to district documents.

Bettin and Less both signed confidential severance and general release agreements with the district.

Bettin is being given a $10,000 lump sum and $2,000 per month for the next five months as part

of his termination agreement.

Less is being given a $5,000 lump sum and $1,000 per month for five months for his severance.

The contracts also contain strict confidentiality clauses, preventing both from making adverse public comments about district officials through the media or Internet.

Bettin and Less did not return phone messages left Monday and Tuesday.

Bettin was pegged to be the executive director of the park district by the old board early last year.

But the new board elected in April, led by Board President Peter Hurtado, amended his contract in June, demoting him to his original position.

The board hired Peck, a Plainfield Village Board member, in May days after two new commissioners assumed office.

The move led to a public backlash with some residents complaining that Peck had no experience with parks and recreation, and that he was hired as Hurtado’s friend.

“I think it says we don’t have a board and director who serve the interests of the people,” said Plainfield resident Vicky Polito, another critic of Peck and the new board majority.

Racich, Polito and Commissioner Mary Kay Ludemann each said they believe Bettin and Less were forced to resign as part of Peck’s plan to eliminate the planning department.

“They made it sound like the planning department was eliminated only after Cam and James resigned,” Ludemann said about a news release sent

by Peck’s administration announcing the resigna-

tions. “I know this was Peck’s plan all along.”

Ludemann was part of the old board majority and voted against Peck’s hiring.

Ludemann also was upset at the lack of board input in the decision and questioned Peck’s claim that the change in park planning will save money.

“James and Cameron were instrumental in much more than planning,” Ludemann said, adding that the two employees’ jobs included securing grants, providing input in the park district’s master plan and creating landscaping plans.

Peck said park district critics are aligned with the old board majority.

“Those accusations are totally baseless,” Peck said. “They weren’t forced to resign.”

District 157-C to keep tax levy flat Montessori school School fees likely will stay same in 2014

By BOB OKON bokon@shawmedia.com FRANKFORT – Frankfort School District 157-C officials say they are holding the line on taxes and fees in 2014.

The school board on Monday approved a $29.5 million property tax levy that has stayed at that level since 2010.

School fees likely will

stay the same in the next school year, too.

Homeowners may still see a slight property tax increase, but they also could see it drop, depending on how much the assessed value of their homes have gone down, said Curt Saindon, assistant superintendent for finance.

“As far as taxes, it depends on what their assessment has done,” Saidon said.

Residential assessments have been falling, he said.

“The average drop in the assessed value

of residential property is estimated at 4 or 4.5 percent,” Saidon said.

“If your home’s assessed value goes down by more than that, you might see a little bit of a decrease.”

The tax levy reflects the total amount of property taxes the school district will collect.

The district, which includes kindergarten through eighth grade schools, has been able to maintain a steady property tax levy by reducing the cost of its annual debt payments, Saidon said.

The district also has funded increased cost of operations with the money saved by reduced debt costs.

School fees charged to parents should stay the same in the 2014-2015 school year.

The school board heard a report that the fees will likely stay the same, but a vote on fees will not take place until the February board meeting.

Parents pay between $110 and $120 for school fees depending on what schools their children attend.

Grundy County might assist Channahon with lobbying costs for sales tax issue

By JESSICA BOURQUE jbourque@shawmedia.com MORRIS – The Grundy County Finance Committee discussed this week contributing funds to help pay for the lobbying group hired to be Channahon’s advocate during the sales tax law discussions in Springfield.

“Channahon didn’t really ask for anything but we may want to be involved with them,” Grundy County Board Chairman Ron Severson said during Monday’s finance committee meeting.

At its most recent meeting, the village of Channahon approved the hiring of lobbying group Governmental Consulting Solutions. The village will spend no more than $18,000 for the lob-

byists who will provide information and advice to the village regarding the rewriting of sales tax laws.

After a recent court case involving the Illinois Department of Revenue, the current sales tax laws were deemed unconstitutional by the Illinois Supreme Court.

The current laws are expected to come under review as soon as this year.

The current laws allow companies based in Chicago and other metropolitan areas to take advantage of the lower sales tax rates in more rural counties, like Grundy County, by simply routing their purchasing orders through a phone based in that county.

Since companies were using those taxing strat-

egies in Grundy County, the county stands to lose as much as $1.8 million in future tax revenues if the laws are changed.

Severson said Grundy County may want to help pay for the lobbyist group so officials can stay involved and informed about the legislation.

“We need to really actively work with them,” Heidi Miller, interim administrator and land use director for Grundy County, said during Monday’s meeting. “Aggressively going after some of these companies is important.”

While nothing was decided, Severson mentioned contributing as much as one-third of the $18,000.

Severson said there also is a possibility of

offering property tax breaks to some of the Grundy companies affected by the new laws so they are encouraged to set up more substantial offices within the county.

“We want them to bring more staff or even bring the whole company,” Severson said.

The committee discussed meeting with Channahon officials and the recently-hired lobbyist group before contributing any funds.

The committee also discussed reaching out to state representatives and other governmental bodies in the state for support on the issue.

“This affects all of the counties and all of the cities in the state of Illinois,” Miller said. “It’s not just Grundy County.”

Grundy County to pay $1.06M to dispatch services

By JESSICA BOURQUE jbourque@shawmedia.com MORRIS – After a year of debate, the Grundy County Board has decided to contribute $1.06 million a year to pay for emergency telephone dispatching services for the county.

The county will be saving $90,000 annually since it currently pays $1.15 million for dispatching services.

The Grundy County Board approved to spend $1.06 million in a 12-4 vote during Tuesday night’s County Board meeting.

Board members Ann Gill, Harold Vota, Jim Ryan and Doug Boresi voted against the resolution, and members Frank Halpin and Ken Iverson were absent.

Representatives from Coal City, Minooka and the

Grundy County Emergency Telephone System Board presented to the board before the vote was made.

“This agreement has been a long time coming,” Grundy County Board Chairman Ron Severson said.

About three years ago, Morris dispatch and Grundy County dispatch consolidated their services and a new 911 dispatch center was built south of Morris on Route 47. The new dispatch center provides services for 14 police departments and fire districts in the county.

Grundy County built and paid for the facility but shared the cost of dispatch operations with the city of Morris. The cost of operations includes salaries, benefits and employee training for the 16 full-time and two

part-time dispatchers employed at the center.

When the center was built, Morris and Grundy County entered into a threeyear intergovernmental agreement, taking on the bulk of the cost since both parties had previously paid for dispatch operations.

Many of the other agencies now using the consolidated service previously received dispatch service through the county for free and needed time to adjust their budgets for the new cost.

With the three-year agreement, Grundy County paid $1.15 million and Morris almost $500,000. Minooka and Coal City also contributed. When that agreement expires later this year and the new one goes into effect, the county

settled on a figure, the ETSB can determine the contributions for all of the remaining agencies involved.

Matt Fritz, village administrator for Coal City and member of the 911 finance committee, and Coal City Mayor Neal Nelson presented at Tuesday’s board meeting to ask the county to increase its contribution or consider different funding options.

Fritz and Nelson pressed the board to pay for all of the dispatching operations by slightly increasing property taxes for all county residents.

“Why don’t we look at Grundy County taking this over, being accountable and making this an efficient operation,” Nelson said.

Another option they suggested was for the board to

consider restructuring the agreement so communities without police departments pay the same rate for dispatching services as those that have departments.

“Now, the way things are rolling out of the committee, we’re going to be punished for having a police department,” Nelson said. “We have to pay more in dispatch fees than the other communities that don’t have a police department.”

Fritz, on behalf of the 911 finance committee, also asked the county to consider voting on a percentage instead of a fixed figure so that the county’s share would stay constant relative to yearly budget changes. He asked the board to contribute 60 percent of the costs.

County urges residents to test for radon

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – County officials are urging residents to make sure their homes are safe from a dangerous and odorless gas as they take shelter from cold weather.

As part of Radon Prevention Month, Will County Health Department officials are handing out test kits for $6 to help residents detect a radioactive gas known as radon in their homes.

Health department offi-

cials have about 50 test kits left, but hardware stores such as Menards and Home Depot also carry test kids, said John Cicero, executive director of the health department. “[Radon] is something that really goes undetected,” he said. “People really need to test their home. It’s a simple tool that can be used.”

Radon is generated by natural decay of uranium in soil and rocks. The gas moves up through the ground to the air above and

into homes through cracks and other holes in the foundation, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s website.

The home traps the radon, where it can build.

Radon can also get through construction joints, cracks in walls, gaps around service pipes and through water supply.

Radon exposure in homes is responsible for an estimated 20,000 lung cancer deaths annually, according to the EPA’s website. Vic Reato, the

“In Illinois and in this part of the country ... they are prone to high radon levels. It is a potential carcinogen.”

Vic Reato Will County Health Department media services manager health department’s media services manager, said it’s important for people during

the winter season to test their homes.

“In Illinois and in this part of the country … they are prone to high radon levels,” he said. “It is a potential carcinogen.”

Cicero said the test kit includes a small envelope-like container that is placed in the lowest levels of a home where people tend to be active, such as a basement that’s used often.

The kit contains absorbent charcoal that absorbs the radon gas in the area, Cicero said.

After 24 to 48 hours, the container is sealed up and sent to a lab for results, which may come in less than two weeks, he said.

Tests results will be received by mail, health department officials said.

If the results are positive, people may want to do another test to confirm the results, he said. Once it’s confirmed, they can learn about ways to mitigate the radon levels in their home by consulting the EPA or county health department.

Joliet man arrested after attempted child abduction

By Brian Stanley bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A Joliet man was arrested Monday after two girls reported an attempt to lure them into a red Jeep while they were walking to school.

The description of the Jeep jogged the memory of a police officer, who remembered a similar incident, and led to the arrest of Carmen J. Aguirre, 61.

About 7:15 a.m. the 12and 13-year-old girls were walking in the 600 block of

Second Avenue when a red Jeep pulled alongside them, according to Cmdr. Al Roechner.

“The man inside rolled down the window, waved the girls over and told them to get in,” Roechner said. “They declined and

By Brian Stanley CREST HILL – A Crest Hill man is in jail on a $2 million bond after his infant son was hospitalized earlier this month.

Virgil L. Rogers, 33, faces two counts of aggravated battery to a child.

Police Chief Dwayne Wilkerson said the 2-month-old boy was brought to Presence Saint

police.

Roechner said when the girls described the red Jeep, one officer recalled a similar incident from November. Police went to the Aguirre’s home in the 600 block of Grant Avenue and questioned him. Aguirre and

his vehicle were positively identified by both victims, Roechner said.

Aguirre was arrested on two charges of child abduction and booked into the county jail. Roechner said the November incident remains under investigation.

The girls then ran to a house in the 500 block of Whitley Avenue and knocked on a door, and asked a woman to call the

Joseph Medical Center on Jan. 2.

“The parents brought their son, who had been lethargic, to the hospital where an exam showed a brain injury consistent with shaken baby syndrome,” Wilkerson said.

The baby’s current condition was not available. But Wilkerson said doctors reported “the child’s injuries were less severe than originally be-

lieved.”

Investigators questioned Rogers and reviewed the case with the Will County State’s Attorney’s office before making the arrest, Wilkerson said.

There are no other children living in the home in the 500 block of Elsie Avenue, police said.

Rogers is next scheduled to appear in court on Jan. 24.

(815)744-6550 edj@dhj-law.com Q: What can I do to protect my assets from creditors?

A: For professionals such as physicians, accountants, attorneys, and anyone whose occupation exposes them to malpractice/negligence litigation, asset protection planning should be an integral part of their overall estate plan. Some of the available planning includes: Tenancy by the Entirety: When a husband and wife hold title to their primary residence as Tenants by the Entirety, creditors of one spouse cannot force the sale of the residence to satisfy the judgment. Tenancy by the Entirety does not offer protection against joint creditors.

Qualified Plans: The vested balance in a qualified retirement plan is exempt from the claims of creditors.

Asset Protection Trusts: Several states (most notably Delaware) have now enacted legislation that allows a person to create a self-settled spendthrift trust, which will shield assets from the claims of future creditors, after the expiration of a four year limitations period. These trusts typically permit an independent trustee to make purely discretionary distributions of income and principal, and can be drafted consistent with your overall estate plan.

Please note that any form of asset protection planning must be done before any judgment, or the threat of judgment, exists. We are available to speak in detail with you, your group or your team of professional advisors about the various asset protection planning vehicles available.

Q. We have a disabled son, “Roy”, who will turn 21 in the Spring. He is graduating from high school and will be applying for Supplemental Security Income (SSI). His grandparents and his aunt want to give him a large cash gift for his graduation.

How can they give him this gift and not have him become disqualified from SSI? A. You can create a Supplemental Care/Needs Trust for your son under the provisions of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 (OBRA ‘93). This federal law allows Roy’s grandparents or his legal guardian to create this kind of a trust for him..

You can put any amount you want in this trust and you can decide what happens to any money remaining in this trust upon Roy’s death.

As long as you do not give Roy any money directly to him from his trust, the trust money will not be considered “income” for SSI purposes. If you want to buy Roy clothes, make the trust check out to the store, not to Roy. If he wants to go visit his

Aunt Helen in Florida this winter, write the trust check out directly to the airline and to Aunt Helen. As long as the person who gives money to Roy has no legal duty to support him then you can put that person’s money into Roy’s Supplemental Care/ Needs Trust.

If Roy has money of his own that he wants to put into a Supplemental Care/Needs Trust, he can do it. However, he should set up a second, separate Supplemental Care/ Needs Trust. The reason for setting up this second trust is because: if it is Roy’s money going into his trust, then federal law requires that any of his money remaining in his trust at his death must be paid to the state. The amount paid back must equal the amount of state aid received during Roy’s lifetime. (There is no pay-back requirement for trusts you or Roy’s grandparents or his aunt create.)

Please contact me or my law partner Jennifer Lynch if we can assist you in creating and funding these Supplemental Care/Needs Trusts.

Q. If injured on the job, how many doctors may the employee see under workers’ compensation?

Traditionally, since 1975, the employee has always had a choice of two “lines” of doctors. What a “line” means is a chain of referrals, so that if doctor A refers to doctors B and C, doctor B then refers to D and doctor C refers to E, all those are still within one line because there is a traceable chain. When the employee goes to a different doctor on his own without a referral, that starts a second line of doctors. If the employee exceeds the two lines, he will be stuck for the bills regardless of how much.

Trips for emergency care, such as to the Emergency Room or an urgent care clinic, don’t count as a choice of doctors.

However, if the injured worker follows up at an urgent care center, that may constitute a choice of doctors, since then it is beyond an emergency situation.

Effective September 1, 2011, our State laws change so that an employer may offer its employees what is called a preferred provider program, PPP. If the employer doesn’t have a PPP, but refers you to the company doctor, that doctor or any of his referrals would not constitute a choice of doctors.

ASK AN ATTORNEY

B K M

If it is approved by the State, and this had happened in the case of a few employers, then that offer of a PPP constitutes one choice of doctors, regardless of whether the injured worker sees any of them or not. If the employee chooses not to go to one of these preferred providers, he should fill out a form in writing to the employer, and then he is free to use one line of doctors on his own. This makes the first choice of doctors beyond emergency care extremely important, as that’s all there is. If that doctor doesn’t work out, or is unwilling to refer the employee to an appropriate specialist, the employee is out of luck.

While there is always a thought that group health insurance can be used, most group health policies exclude workers’ compensation claims, and so there is no guarantee that will work.

As I have always recommended in the past, if injured on the job, call a lawyer on day one. The advice you get may have a major impact on your health.

Q. I was injured in a car accident. I hired a lawyer. All of a sudden my insurance hires me a lawyer and I’m told I now have two lawyers! What’s going on?

A. When you are injured in an accident you have the right to hire your own attorney. That attorney should be knowledgeable in the practice of injury law and someone you trust and feel comfortable in dealing with on a regular basis. Injury cases can last several years; therefore, it is important that you choose the right lawyer for you. This lawyer is there to help YOU. She/he will guide you through the stages of your case and advise you of your rights. She/he will also explain the positive aspects of your case and the negatives as well as how to deal with those negatives. Your attorney is someone that is there to argue your case and to answer your questions.

Most likely, your insurance company hired a lawyer to represent you in a third-party case filed by the defendant against you for the same accident. Many times, the defendant will have a different version of what caused the accident and his/her insurance company will decide to file a counter-claim against you. It may be because they genuinely believe you are at fault or partially at fault. However, it can also be to try to intimidate you or give them leverage in negotiations claiming

a jury could find you at fault, in whole or in part, for the accident and ultimately, your own injuries!

When a counter-claim is filed, you need to notify your own insurance company of it. They, in turn, hire an attorney to represent you as a defendant. You still have your own attorney as the plaintiff/injured party. Now, however, you have a separate attorney to defend you against any claims you were at fault for the accident. This attorney is your attorney, but is paid through your insurance, so they are not concerned about you recovering monies for your injuries. They are there to stop you receiving the blame and your insurance from having to pay out any money. Often times your two attorneys can work well together to your benefit. Sometimes, however, there can be a conflict. This can occur for a number of different reasons, including, but not limited to, when one wants to settle the matter and the other feels it is best to try it. Ultimately, listen to the recommendations of both; keep in mind the goal of both (your attorney is there for you only, the other is there for you and the insurance company); ask questions; demand reasons for the answers; and make an informed decision.

Fixing economy top priority for GOP gov hopefuls

By SARA BURNETT The Associated Press CHICAGO – All four Republican candidates for Illinois governor said fixing the state’s economic woes would be among their top priorities if they win – an issue they’ll be trying to distinguish themselves on in a state that’s home to one of the nation’s highest unemployment rates and a multi-billion-dollar backlog of overdue bills.

In response to a campaign questionnaire from The Associated Press, the four contenders – state Sens. Bill Brady and Kirk Dillard, state Treasurer Dan Rutherford and Winnetka businessman Bruce Rauner – cited the need to cut spending, lower taxes, get people back to work by creating a more business-friendly climate – and “all of the above.” While

offering only a few specifics, the four will no doubt be pressed on the issue in a series of upcoming debates leading up to the March 18 primary.

“Jobs. Jobs. And Jobs,” wrote Rutherford, of Chenoa, a former vice president for ServiceMaster Co., in response to an AP question asking for each candidate’s top three priorities if elected. “Illinois government finances are dire and our state is universally considered unfriendly to business. Building an environment that job creators are seeking and putting people back to work will help solve a lot of Illinois’ financial and social ailments.”

Those ailments include an unemployment rate of 8.7 percent as of November, the most recent date for which numbers are available. It was the third

straight month that the rate dropped, but it was still above the national unemployment of 7 percent for the same month.

Lawmakers took steps last month to fix another massive fiscal problem, approving a plan supporters say will eliminate Illinois’ $100 billion unfunded pension liability over 30 years.

But the state isn’t counting on any of those savings for at least another year – and it’s possible the courts could find the new law unconstitutional and throw it out.

Meanwhile, a temporary income tax increase approved by Democrats in 2011 is set to be rolled back on Jan. 1, 2015. The Governor’s Office of Management and Budget recently projected a loss of about $2 billion in revenue during the fiscal year that begins July 1 if that rollback occurs.

Brady, who has real estate development interests around his hometown of Bloomington, said the longterm solution to Illinois’ problems is to “create an environment that fosters new investments and new jobs in the private sector.”

“That environment includes eliminating needless government regulations, reducing the tax burden and working to further refine our workers compensation and tort systems,” wrote the party’s 2010 nominee. He said his second priority would make the “difficult decisions” to balance the budget without extending the temporary income tax hike.

“There is not an area of state government that can’t do more with less,” Brady said.

The candidates’ answers didn’t focus solely on the state’s bleak economy.

NEWS BRIEFS Beanie Babies creator gets probation CHICAGO – The billionaire businessman behind Beanie Babies was sentenced Tuesday to two years of probation, but no prison time, for not paying taxes on millions of dollars stashed in Swiss bank accounts.

H. Ty Warner, 69, pleaded guilty last year to a single count of tax evasion for not paying taxes on $25 million in income he had hidden.

As part of his probation sentence, Kocoras also ordered Warner to do 500 hours of community service.

When he pleaded guilty, Warner agreed to pay a civil penalty of more than $53 million and $5 million in back taxes.

Warner maintained a secret offshore account starting in 1996 where earned $3.1 million in gross

income in 2002 through the account, but didn’t report it, prosecutors say.

Judge gives Chicago 6 months to OK gun sales CHICAGO – The city of Chicago, which has fought for decades to keep guns out of the hands of its residents, now must craft an ordinance within 180 days that will allow gun stores to open there, a federal judge ruled Tuesday.

U.S. District Judge Edward E. Chang granted the city’s request for the delay, a small victory for a city that has lost a series of recent legal battles in its efforts to keep guns out. Chicago officials now find themselves ushering in a new era in which the city must welcome business that sell guns and residents who legally carry concealed weapons.

Huge budget bill aims to show Congress’ mettle

By ANDREW TAYLOR The Associated Press WASHINGTON – A chastened Congress is putting aside the crisis-driven budget battles of the past three years, embracing a $1.1 trillion spending bill that restores the sharpest edges of the automatic cuts imposed as a result of its own dysfunction.

The huge election-year legislation preserves the downward trajectory on government spending demanded by Republicans.

Yet the bipartisan measure steaming through Congress also preserves President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul and stricter

regulation of financial markets – and deflects the most significant attempts by Republicans to rewrite environmental rules and force other changes.

Lawmakers hope the compromise will show disgruntled voters before next fall’s midterm election that Washington – especially its unpopular Congress – can perform its most basic function of responsibly funding the government.

The bravado that prompted tea party Republicans to force a government shutdown in hopes of derailing “Obamacare” is long gone, replaced by an election-year desire to focus attention on the admin-

“The average Ameri-

can looking at this, it looks pretty dysfunctional for the last couple of years,” said Rep. Tom Cole, R-Okla.

“We need to rack up some

achievements here – not just for Republicans but for incumbents in general and for the institution.”

There could still be

bumps in the road. Congress needs to raise the government’s borrowing cap by the end of February or early March, and it’s unclear how big of a battle that will be.

As for the compromise spending bill, the massive measure funds the operations of virtually every federal agency, making cuts and additions reflecting the trade-offs of divided government. Delivering relief from budget cuts and caps known as sequestration, it still imposes a 3 percent cut on agency budgets relative to those approved last year before automatic reductions cut about $60 billion from them.

Christie opened his annual State of the State address by touching only briefly on the political payback plot.

“The last week has certainly tested this administration,” he said. “Mistakes were clearly made. And as a result, we let down the people we are entrusted to serve. I know our citizens deserve better.

12-year-old boy opens fire at NM school; 2 wounded

By RUSSELL CONTRERAS The Associated Press ROSWELL – A 12-year-old New Mexico boy drew a shotgun from a band-instrument case and shot and wounded two classmates at his middle school Tuesday morning before a teacher talked him into dropping the weapon and he was taken into custody, officials and witnesses said.

Gov. Susana Martinez said a boy was critically injured and a girl was in serious condition following the shooting at Berrendo Middle School in Roswell.

The students were in the gym, where she said they typically hang out before classes start during cold and inclement weather. The 12-year-old pulled a shotgun and opened fire there at about 8 a.m.

But he was “quickly stopped by one staff member who walked right up to him and asked him to set down the firearm, which he

rious condition. Information from nurses treating the boy indicates he was the shooter’s target, hospital spokesman Eric Finley said.

There was some confusion about the boy’s age, but Finley said his

parents told the hospital he is 11.

The governor said a staff member received very minor injuries but declined medical care because he wanted to stay and help.

Odiee Carranza, an eighth-grader at Berrendo, said she was walking to the school gym when the suspect bumped into her as he rushed past. She told him to be careful, and he apologized and continued on. The boy ran to the gym, where he pulled a gun out of a band instrument case and fired at the students.

“Then he shot up in the sky, then dropped the gun, and then some teacher grabbed the kid that had the gun,” Carranza said.

Carranza described the shooter as a “smart kid and a nice kid.”

A statement from the state police said authorities responded at 8:11 a.m. Roswell police say the school was placed on lockdown, and the suspected shooter was arrested. His name was not released.

Dozens arrested for being gay in Nigeria

By MICHELLE FAUL The Associated Press LAGOS, Nigeria – First the police targeted the gay men, then tortured them into naming dozens of others who now are being hunted down, human rights activists said Tuesday, warning that such persecution will rise under a new Nigerian law.

The men’s alleged crime? Belonging to a gay organization. The punishment? Up to 10 years in jail under the Same Sex Marriage Prohibition Act, which has elicited international condemnation for criminalizing gay marriage, gay organizations and anyone working with or promoting them.

There were varying accounts of how many arrests were made in Nigeria’s Bauchi state, and a local law enforcement official denied that anyone

was tortured. Nevertheless, the aggressive police action shows that Africa’s most populous country is attempting to enforce anti-gay measures that are becoming increasingly common throughout the continent.

In this instance, authorities responded to an unfounded rumor that the United States had paid gay activists $20 million to promote same-sex marriage in this highly religious and conservative nation, according to an AIDS counselor, who spoke on condition of anonymity for fear that he would be arrested.

An officer pretending to be a gay man then joined a group being counseled on AIDS, according to Dorothy Aken’Ova, executive director of Nigeria’s International Center for Reproductive Health and Sexual Rights.

Aken’Ova said police detained four gay men over the Christmas holiday and tortured them until they named others allegedly belonging to a gay organization.

The police now have arrested 38 men and are looking for 168 others, according to Aken’Ova, whose organization is helping provide legal services to the men. The AIDS counselor said he has helped secure bail for some of the 38 detainees. They both said dozens of homosexuals have fled Bauchi in recent days.

Chairman Mustapha Baba Ilela of Bauchi state Shariah Commission, which oversees regulation of Islamic law, said that 11 gay men have been arrested over the past two weeks.

He said community members helped “fish out” the suspects and that “we are on the hunt for others.”

in battles often waged along ethnic lines.

A boat fleeing violence on the Nile carrying mostly women and children sank Saturday, killing at least 200 people, according to Lt. Col Aguer, the South Sudanese military spokesman.

He also said there was fighting about 45 miles north of the South Sudanese capital of Juba.

Heavy fighting erupted in Malakal, the capital of oil-producing Upper Nile state, which renegade forces briefly held before government troops retook it. The fighting

began early Tuesday morning in the vicinity of the United Nations base in Malakal, with combatants using heavy machine guns and tanks, U.N. spokesman Martin Nesirky said at U.N. headquarters in New York.

Stray bullets are reported to have landed inside the U.N. base, wounding people who sought shelter there, according to Nesirky. As a result of Tuesday’s violence, he said, the number of people seeking refuge at the U.N. base in Malakal has nearly doubled to 20,000.

NEWS BRIEF 200 fleeing S. Sudan die after boat sinks JUBA, South Sudan – A boat carrying civilians desperately fleeing heavy violence in South Sudan sank while crossing the Nile River, killing some 200 people, a military official said Tuesday, as fighting between rebels and government forces moved closer to the capital.

Thinking about investing in an airline?

Dear Mr. Berko: I have $11,000 to invest for my individual retirement account and have been looking at American Airlines Group Inc., which is the new company formed when US Airways Group merged with American Airlines. I’ve sent you my $272,000 IRA portfolio from UBS, most of which is invested in dividend stocks and other issues you’ve recommended over the past eight years I’ve been reading your column. Because you haven’t discussed airline stocks in any of your columns, I decided to email you for your recommendation.

KB, Moline, Ill. Dear KB: In 1978, the Airline Deregulation Act shifted control over air travel from the mullahs in Congress to the marketplace.

That was a watershed year, eventually leading to the Civil Aeronautics Board Sunset Act of 1984, which allowed ticket prices, inter-carrier agreements and consumer issues to be driven by market forces.

TAKING STOCK Malcolm Berko Airline stocks never have been good long-term investments, and since 1984, airline equities have been the provenance of fools, speculators, hedge funds, traders, arbitrageurs, leveraged buyout firms, gamblers and wealthy egomaniacs seeking tax losses. I like Warren Buffett’s comment in 2002: “If a capitalist had been present at Kitty Hawk back in the early 1900s, he should have shot Orville Wright. He would have saved his progeny money.”

But seriously, the airline business has been extraordinary. It has eaten up capital over the past century like almost no other business because people seem to keep coming back to it and putting fresh money in.

You’ve got huge fixed costs; you’ve got strong labor unions;

and you’ve got commodity pricing. This is not a great recipe for success. There is a toll-free number now that I call if I get the urge to buy an airline stock. I call at 2 a.m. and say: “My name is Warren, and I’m an aeroholic.

And then they talk me down.”

Can you remember the names Pan American, Eastern, Braniff, Aloha, Allegheny, Comair, National, TWA, Republic, Trump Shuttle, Piedmont, Midwest and Ozark? Well, don’t bother, because they are all out of business.

Last November, American Airlines completed its merger with US Airways, which was celebrated by government regulators, airline management, Wall Street and investors. However, the two flight attendant unions (American and US Airways) are thrashing against each other like children for the right to represent the new carrier. This brings back memories of eight years of incessant union squabbles between pilots for US Airways and

those for America West as the two entered into a merger agreement. Meanwhile, the union that represents the mechanics at US Airways boycotted the November merger festivities.

The $18 billion merger created the world’s largest airline, with $40 billion in revenues and more than 100,000 employees, so now the hard work begins.

The airlines will continue to run separately for about 24 months as they work to combine their operations – merging frequent flier programs, coordinating thousands of systems and procedures, and eventually reducing the workforce by 23,000 employees. And by the way, your American Express Platinum Card no longer gives you access to the lounge at American or US Airways.

The new company, called American Airlines Group (AAL-$29.48), has taken off like a rocket. Investors piled into the cabin, oblivious to myriad problems that will cause numerous

bad takeoffs and rocky landings while creating messy conflicts, squabbles and jealousies among employees jockeying to save their jobs. It didn’t work when Eastern, National, Pan American, TWA, Braniff and others attempted merger strategies on a wing and a prayer. What makes investors believe that this merger will work when all the others crashed as they tried to fly?

I expect that the hubris of this merger will carry the stock higher, and some on the Street are projecting a share price in the low $40s this year. So the shares do have some short-term appeal if you are a trader, but this is not a proper investment for a retirement account. I wouldn’t spoil a beautifully crafted IRA portfolio with junk such as AAL.

BUSINESS BRIEFS Holiday sales rise with help from discounts, online shopping NEW YORK – Holiday shoppers were more than willing to spend during the holiday season, if they saw big discounts or were shopping online.

Sales rose 3.8 percent from last year for November and December combined, according to the National Retail Federation’s analysis of federal figures. That was a healthy gain in a season that kept merchants worried right up until Christmas as people held off on spending.

That caution and increased online shopping made the holiday less festive at the mall.

Shoppers stayed away from many traditional destinations like department stores and electronics stores.

The sales increase came in just shy of the trade group’s forecast of a 3.9 percent gain.

It was better than the 3.5 percent increase in

2012 and the 3.3 percent average for the past 10 years.

“It was a knock-down, drag-out battle between retailers to see who could discount the most to generate the most traffic,” said Ken Perkins, president of Retail Metrics LLC, a research firm.

January already is off to a slow start. Some stores such as Express Inc. and Lululemon Athleta have said weak January sales are compounding their holiday-season woes.

Express said it plans to continue heavy sales promotions, which it expects to last through the month.

“The consumer is fatigued and taking a break,” Perkins said.

U.S. stocks bounce back after logging worst day of the year NEW YORK – The good followed the bad

for the stock market on Tuesday.

One day after logging its worst performance of the year, the stock market bounced back with its best day of 2014. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index climbed more than 1 percent and erased most of its loss from a day earlier.

Technology stocks led the gains as Wall Street analysts raised their assessments of Intel and electronics company Jabil Circuit.

A report on retail sales also boosted investor confidence. Excluding spending on autos, gas and building supplies, sales increased 0.7 percent in December, the Commerce Department reported Tuesday.

That was better than the increase of 0.4 percent forecast by economists.

While the rise in December sales was modest, it helped ease investors’ concerns about the health of the economy after a

surprisingly weak jobs report was published on Friday.

“This is a preview of what 2014 will be like ... it’s going to be more volatile than it was last year,” said Andres Garcia-Amaya, a global market strategist at JPMorgan Funds.

“The market’s bouncing back and saying the world’s not ending, things are pointing in the right direction.”

The S&P 500 index gained 19.68 points, or 1.1 percent, to 1,838.88, its biggest gain since Dec. 18. It rose steadily throughout the day and finished close to its high on Tuesday.

The Dow Jones industrial average rose 115.92 points, or 0.7 percent, to close at 16,373.86, just below of its high of the day. The technology-heavy Nasdaq composite rose 69.71 points, or 1.7 percent, to 4,183.02.

OUR VIEW

A salute to Ill. farmers Final 2013 harvest figures are in from the National Agricultural Statistics Service, and Illinois’ governor was so pleased that he issued a news release Sunday about the results.

Gov. Pat Quinn saluted Illinois farmers for leading the nation in soybean production.

Illinois is No. 1 by virtue of the 462 million bushels of soybeans that were harvested last fall.

Our farmers outdistanced the No. 2 state, Iowa, by 51 million bushels.

Quinn also singled out Illinois corn farmers, whose 2.1 billion bushels harvested finished second only to Iowa (2.16 billion bushels) as far as total production is concerned.

The crop was the third largest in the history of Illinois.

The 2013 crop year followed a drought year, with Illinois’ soybean production up 20 percent and corn production up 63 percent vs. 2012.

Quinn pointed to last year’s rebound as proof that state farmers are resilient.

Bob Flider, state ag department director, said better weather and intelligent management practices aided the rebound.

The governor is correct to pay tribute to Illinois farmers.

Their efforts to produce corn, soybeans, sorghum, wheat, oats, hay, potatoes, pumpkins and other crops – not to mention livestock – are crucial to the state’s economy, if not to the continued evolution of civilization itself.

After all, without agriculture, people would have to spend more time finding and producing food themselves.

Hunters and gatherers, we’d rather not be.

We encourage the governor as well as all of the state leaders, when considering laws and regulations, to keep the needs of agriculture firmly in mind.

Sometimes, it seems as if government bureaucrats don’t know beans about farming.

If farmers are to prosper, such attitudes must be countered by informed leaders who set the bureaucrats straight.

VIEWS

Job creation needed to keep Illinois a state we love SPRINGFIELD – I love Illinois.

This is the state where I grew up, where I have chosen to raise my family and where I hope to spend the rest of my life.

At different points during my career, I’ve left the Land of Lincoln.

But I have always returned because this is my home. And it’s your home, too. So we have a shared interest in making our state better.

We may disagree on how to accomplish that, but we all have an interest in seeing Illinois improve.

Increasingly people are finding that Illinois is not a state that offers the opportunities they want for themselves and their families.

Don’t believe me?

Well, take a look at these numbers compiled by Jackson Adams, my col-

REEDER REPORT

Scott Reeder league here at Illinois News Network: • Allied Van Lines said Illinois was one of their top five most outbound states, with 986 more moves out than moves in the last year.

• United Van Lines reported Illinois was the second most outbound state, with 2,251 more moves out than in. Illinois was United’s most outbound state in 2011.

• Atlas Van Lines also reported Illinois as an outbound state, with 862 more moves out than in.

People who use moving companies often are taking part in corporate moves being paid for by their compa-

ny. That speaks volumes about where job opportunities are and aren’t.

In fact, this past week, Moody’s Analytics ranked Illinois 50th in projected job creation for this year.

Looking at those moving company numbers it is clear that opportunity is flowing out of the Land of Lincoln.

So why is Illinois on the losing end of these migration patterns?

It’s tempting to blame our blustery winters and say that’s why people don’t want to live here.

The problem with that assumption is that some of the states doing better than Illinois have colder winters.

For example, Indiana, which has an identical climate to Illinois, is rapidly attracting people.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Amtrak brings comfort To the Editor: Monday, Jan. 6, was a day I won’t soon forget.

I woke up in Springfield to a morning temperature of -12 degrees and a -35 degree wind chill. Plotting a return to Washington with all flights cancelled and I-55 down to one lane because of the snow, my only option was Amtrak.

The 6:30 a.m. train was canceled and the 8:30 a.m. was delayed. The Chicago-bound train finally arrived about 10:30 a.m. What happened next was hard to describe.

We shuffled outside in the Arctic weather to find the doors to the train frozen shut.

Two Amtrak workers literally took turns beating the doors open with sledge hammers, a routine which they repeated at every stop as we headed north.

With enough room to squeeze aboard we took our seats in the aging (38-yearold) but well-heated Amfleet cars.

The Amtrak crew was exceptional considering the challenges.

Their day had started at 4:30 a.m. when they left St. Louis and didn’t end until we pulled into Chicago Union Station about 5:30 p.m.

Along the way they offered a free snack to the beleaguered passengers and never failed to do their best to help us through the journey.

I know every Amtrak passenger in Illinois that day did not have our good fortune in arriving at their destination but those of us on the St. Louis-Chicago train saw a dedicated crew doing everything possible to keep us comfortable and safe.

Thanks to the Amtrak crew for their outstanding work under challenging conditions.

Say no to Trans Pacific Partnership To the Editor: Behind closed doors 600 trade advisers dominated by corporate interests are formulating a trade pact, Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP). Ron Kirk, a former trade official, admitted if the details of the TPP were made public it would make the deal impossible to sign. Even members of Congress have been denied access to the text of the trade pact.

The secrecy is to hide the fact international tribunals would be created and their

rulings would allow corporations to challenge federal, state and municipal laws that protect the environment, food supply, consumer and workers’ rights.

According to Lori Wallach, of Public Citizen’s’ Global Trade Watch, 21 of the 25 chapters do not deal with “traditional trade matters,” but rather, they enhance the power and monopoly status of multinational corporations.

The deal would put pharmaceutical companies in a stronger position to prevent efforts to keep the cost of medicine down. It would make it easier for domestic manufacturing to relocate offshore. It would forbid bans on risky financial products including toxic derivatives.

These provisions of the TPP would not be acceptable to the public. Therefore, the government wants the agreement to be secret and to be given fast track by Congress. Under this procedure the President could sign the agreement before Congress voted on it. Congress, in turn would be governed by rules limiting debate, banning amendments, and forcing a quick vote.

The TPP agreement would subvert democracy and

national sovereignty by the creation of international tribunals representing the interests of multinational corporations and financial institutions against the interests of the citizens of the nations involved. If enacted, the TPP further enhances corporate dominance in the U.S. and the world. It is imperative that concerned citizens contact their legislators to say “No to Fast Track,” “No to TPP.”

Light of love, a great tradition To the Editor: On a cold November evening over 1,300 members of the community came together to celebrate the lives of family and friends through inspirational music, spiritual reflections and a moving memorial video during Joliet Area Community Hospice’s ninth annual Lights of Love Tree Lighting Ceremony held at the beautiful Rialto Square Theater.

Family members hung remembrance ornaments on the Joliet Area Community Hospice Christmas tree while their loved ones names were read aloud. Hand-blown glass

ornaments by local artist Sue Regis were purchased as keepsakes.

Holidays can be especially difficult for people grieving loved ones. Participating in Lights of Love is great way to remember them. Sr. Clarita Schumacher, a Joliet Franciscan who attended the event, celebrated the lives of 11 congregation members who died this past year stated, “Tears filled my eyes and a deep sense of pride and gratitude filled my heart as Sr. Anne Wayrowski and I walked across the stage to hang our Joliet Franciscan ornament on the majestic tree with all of the others. What a significant and compassionate gesture to honor those who entered eternal life during

the past year. What a healing ceremony for the attendees.

What an outreach of love and support.”

Joliet Area Community Hospice is grateful to all those who attended and to the Joliet Fire Department Fife and Drums, musicians Trish Boril and Dominique Archambeau and Harvest Baptist Church Choir of Oswego for their musical selections.

The event was sponsored

by D’Arcy Buick GMC, Kurtz Ambulance, Advantage Driver Training and Joliet Floral. For more information on hospice, palliative care or, grief and bereavement programs, please contact Joliet Area Community Hospice, Rick Kasper CEO, Joliet Area Community Hospice

We love this state and want to see it prosper • REEDER Continued from page 23 Taxes are a major factor in determining where businesses grow. The Legislature’s decision to jack up income taxes by 67 percent in 2011 made Illinois a far less attractive state for many corporations and individuals.This could explain why jobs and people are leaving the Land of Lincoln.

But that doesn’t mean we are without hope.The tax hike is slated to expire next year.That in itself will have a positive effect on the state’s economy. Unfortunately there are some who would like to see this tax hike extended. Or they would like to see our current flat tax rate replaced by a graduated income tax.

Either move would further accelerate Illinois’

decline.We love this state and want to see it prosper.

Policies that encourage job creation will help keep more people from packing up and leaving this place we love.

THE BOXERS

Plainfield, Joliet friends making name for themselves in the ring

By ALEX SOULIER asoulier@shawmedia.com OSWEGO – A coy smile illuminates coach Chris Chodhary’s face as he leans over the ropes Monday evening, deftly dishing out advice as two of his youngest, most promising boxers spar in the ring.

Following the truncated, yet intense training and sparring session, the usually mild-mannered owner of Oswego’s Rocket Boxing Gym can’t help but gush over 13-year-old Erik Santiago and 15-year-old Noah Manko.

“These two are going places,” Chodhary said. “Noah and Erik are as tough as they come and they have made huge strides both as boxers and people during their years of training here. They are fearless; I call them my two little lions.”

Santiago, of Plainfield, and Manko, a Joliet resident, play, train and have grown in the ring alongside one another.

Santiago and Manko have sparred together for the past three years, and Chodhary attests that their contrasting boxing styles have aided their overall progression.

“They feed off one another,” Chodhary said. “Erik was one of the first kids that came here to train for fights. He is extremely fast, fearless and has great hand speed and timing.

“Noah is the Mike Tyson to Erik’s Muhammad Ali. He likes to come out swinging and really take it to his opponents.

Both have worked with some of the other, older members, but it seems like they really bring the best out of each other.”

His last fight before moving up to the 16-through-34-year-old Golden Gloves distinction, the Joliet boxer says it was exhilarating to leave Silver Gloves on such a high note.

“It means so much to me to be named Silver Gloves state champion two years in a row,” Manko said. “Now I know that I can leave Silver Gloves as a defending champ and I feel really confident that I can be successful in upcoming Golden Gloves matches.”

Santiago, too, has experienced immense success at the Silver Gloves level.

Noah Manko, 15, trains using a heavy bag at Rocket Boxing in Oswego on Monday.

School student who first started training at Rocket Gym more than five years

ago to increase his fitness, Santiago is a reigning 119open Illinois Silver Gloves

champion.

After winning a Re-

gional Silver Gloves bout on Jan. 4 in Wichita, Kan., Santiago will now advance to the national competition, beginning Jan. 30 in Independence, Mo. The 13-year-old boxer explains that after losing at last year’s regional fight,

he felt that he had something to prove in Kansas.

“Last year, I was definitely a little tense,” Santiago said. “The bright lights and the big stage kind of got to me. This time around, I was relaxed and was able to go out there and fight my fight.

Santiago, who is also on his middle school’s the cross country, basketball, track and field and wrestling teams, says it would be a dream come true to be crowned one of the top young boxers in the nation.

His friend and sparring partner is also rooting for him.

“This is such a cool opportunity for Erik,” Manko said. “I’m pulling for him and want him to go out there and leave it all in the ring.”

BOYS BASKETBALL: MINOOKA 53, PLAINFIELD CENTRAL 40

The Butler does it for Minooka Sophomore forward triggers win at Plainfield Central

By DICK GOSS dgoss@shawmedia.com Sophomore forward Joe Butler said it wasn’t the pregame plan to get him involved offensively, it just worked out that way.

Butler scored 11 of his 14 points in the first 6 minutes and 17 seconds Tuesday night as Minooka breezed to a 53-40 Southwest Prairie victory at Plainfield Central.

“My teammates got me the ball when I was open, and I made them [Wildcats]

pay,” Butler said. “It wasn’t really planned, but coach [Scott Tanaka] started putting me in the post more when it was going well.”

“That was the best scoring spurt anybody on our team has had this year,” senior center Mark Geers said of Butler’s early explosion.

Geers chipped in with 14 points and matched Butler’s seven rebounds as the Indians (6-9, 2-3) dominated inside.

Both teams were coming off tough SPC losses last

“They were more ready than us.

We were consistently inconsistent.

We were bad on offense, on defense and in our effort. You’re never successful when you have all three of those.”

Steve Lamberti Plainield Central boys basketball coach Friday, Minooka falling to Plainfield South and Central (6-9, 2-3) to Oswego East.

“They were more ready than us,” Central coach Steve Lamberti said. “We

were consistently inconsistent. We were bad on offense, on defense and in our effort. You’re never successful when you have all three of those.”

“The difference was we finally played mad,” Minooka coach Scott Tanaka said. “We were coming off a game against South that we had no business losing.

“This lets our guys see that the outcome can be different if we play mad. We had nice effort and enthusiasm. We have tried to stress that all year but sometimes it takes some adversity before the guys see it. That’s the unfortunate thing.”

Minooka, which committed a mere five turnovers, raced to a 16-6 lead

after the first quarter.

It was 29-14 at halftime and the largest spread was 47-24 after three quarters.

“We had a better mentality this game and worked harder,” Geers said. “Especially after we lost that game to South. We knew we were better than that.”

Minooka’s defense limited Plainfield Central’s Logan Velasquez, the man the Indians felt they had to stop, to eight points.

“We did a real good job on him,” Geers said.

GIRLS BASKETBALL: JOLIET CENTRAL 68, JOLIET WEST 52

Joliet Central rallies to 1st conference win of season over West

By ALEX SOULIER asoulier@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Head coach Brian Reed knows his Joliet Central girls basketball team cannot afford many more sluggish starts as they enter the final month of the regular season.

But against conference and crosstown rival Joliet West on Tuesday night, the Central girls bounced back following a lackluster first quarter, running away with an emphatic 6852 victory over the visiting Tigers.

“We have come out flat in the first quarter a few times this season,” Reed said. “Part of it is our youth and inexperience, part of it is our mental preparation.

“Going forward our effort needs to be better, but I’m proud of the way our girls responded after the first quarter.”

The win marked Joliet Central’s (9-7, 1-3) first Southwest Suburban Blue Conference victory of the season while Joliet West – after posting its first conference victory of season on Friday against Sandburg – fell to 1-4 in the SWSB. The Steelmen faced an uphill battle en route to

of their 30 first half points from downtown, including back-to-back three’s from junior guard Autumn Lawson to open the second

quarter.

Joliet Central finished the half with a 10-0 run to cut West’s lead to 33-30.

“I thought we played a

much better second quarter,” Reed said. “We started hitting some shots and got our confidence back; that carried over to the second half.”

Outmanned and outworked in the first quarter, Joliet Central’s low post tandem of senior Chavon Banks and sophomore Chantell Mack led the Steelmen charge in the second half.

Banks finished with 16 points and 10 rebounds while Mack led the team with 19 points and 12 rebounds.

Behind Banks and Mack, The Steelmen outscored the Tigers 18-4 in the third quarter to put the game out of reach.

“It took a while for my adrenaline to kick in,” Mack said. “But at halftime, we came together as a team and said that it was time to go to work and pick up the pace.”

“Joliet West is a very good, disciplined team,” Banks said. “It took a lot of character to come from behind and get our first conference win over our rival.

Hopefully we can continue that trend and come out with a lot of energy in our next game.”

NHL: AVALANCHE 3, BLACKHAWKS 2

Barrie lifts Avalanche over Hawks in OT

By MATT CARLSON The Associated Press CHICAGO – Tyson Barrie scored his second goal of the game on a power play at 4:09 of overtime, and the Colorado Avalanche defeated the Blackhawks 3-2 on Tuesday night.

With Jonathan Toews off for hooking, Barrie beat Corey Crawford with a one-timer from the left circle after taking a cross-ice pass from Matt Duchene to give Colorado its second straight win. The Avalanche improved to 6-1-1 in their past eight games despite being outshot 48-26.

Barrie and Ryan O’Reilly scored 1:02 apart late in the first period for Colorado. O’Reilly has three goals in his last two games.

The Hawk’s Andrew Shaw scored at 7:27 of the third to tie it. He also assisted on Johnny Oduya’s goal in the second.

Semyon Varlamov made 46 saves for Colorado and improved to 9-0-5 in his last 15 games, including 14 starts – the longest streak of his career without a regulation loss. His last defeat in regulation was at Phoenix on Dec. 10, when the Avalanche lost 3-1.

Crawford finished with 23 saves. The Blackhawks have dropped their last seven games that have gone past regulation, dating to a 2-1 shootout win in

Illinois Concealed Carry Permit

Dallas on Nov. 29.

The defending Stanley Cup champions are 4-11 this season in games that go longer than 60 minutes.

They are 0-5 in overtime

and 4-6 in shootouts.

Colorado defenseman Erik Johnson left late in the second period with a lower-body injury. He tried to return for a shift in the

third, but didn’t continue.

Colorado led 2-0 after the first period, despite being outplayed until about 14 minutes in when the Blackhawksheld a 12-3 advantage

in shots.

But Barrie opened the scoring on a soft screened shot from just inside the right point with 5:02 left in the first. He flipped the puck past several players, and then it sailed over Crawford’s glove.

O’Reilly made it 2-0 with a power-play goal on a crisp passing play 1:02 later and just 10 seconds after Kris Versteeg was sent off for hooking. O’Reilly slipped the puck past Crawford after a wide-open setup at the edge of the crease.

The Blackhawks pushed back and turned up the pressure in the second, outshooting Colorado 10-1 in the first half of the period and 16-6 overall. But Chicago only managed to cut Colorado’s lead to 2-1, cashing in on Oduya’s deflection of Brandon Saad’s screened shot from the slot.

Shaw tied it on a rebound. He swept in a shot from 10 feet out after Varlamov stopped Saad from point-blank range.

Chicago’s Michal Rozsival hit the right post with a shot with about 7:30 left.

Crawford made a pointblank stop on a wide-open Cody McLeod with just more than 3 minutes left.

Culinary curatives As winter drags on, comfort food can have restorative power

By PHYLLIS RICHMAN The Washington Post

O

ne winter many years ago, I came home from Florida with a fever and chills. I took myself to bed and dozed, dreaming of the one medicine I knew would work. Where could I get it? I could barely sit up, much less poke around the kitchen for noodles and carrots, celery and onion, a plump chicken and a pot big enough to hold them all. I needed chicken soup, the surefire curative for my sore throat and virus, or at least the palliative. I had another problem, too. Because I’d been away for a week, not only was my refrigerator empty, but I had no restaurant notes. I was a bedridden restaurant critic with no immediate prospect of a restaurant to review for that week.

By dinnertime, I’d identified the obvious solution to my problem: I’d write a column on chicken soup. I started calling to find out who delivered.

A box of Kleenex, a warm quilt and a bowl of chicken soup. That’s what comfort food means to me.

But I’m not everyone. For others, comfort food might just as easily be a chilled bowl of ice cream as a hot bowl of soup. Mashed potatoes are a natural. So are meatballs, rice pudding and applesauce.

Every culture has its comfort foods; in ours, they are most commonly what is otherwise known as nursery food: Jell-O,

custard, oatmeal without lumps. In addition to being soft, their color is neutral, and most likely they are basically a starch. (What can out-comfort chocolate pudding or tapioca?) Everything about comfort food is soothing. Supporting that idea, most comfort foods require little chewing and are bland enough to leave your taste buds asleep. That leaves Thai food and Indian food behind, at least for many Americans. Still, every comfort food rule has an exception, which explains chili.

When you veer from the straight and narrow, you’ll find subcategories of comfort food, and exceptions to that rule about nursery food. The smooth puree edges into the creamy: chicken potpie or tuna noodle casserole. Those segue into soft meats: chicken, meatloaf, meatballs.

Chocolate is its own category.

So what we are talking about here is food that is quiet in its mood, its effect and its impact, even when it crunches rather loudly. It is beloved food, food that makes us feel good. If we hadn’t come across it, we would have had to invent it.

Which is what I did, they say.

I don’t really believe I created the term, but the Oxford English Dictionary and some Webster’s dictionaries give me credit. They attribute the first print mention of “comfort food” to an article in the Washington Post Magazine in 1977. I wrote that article. I used the term to describe shrimp and grits. Since then – if not before – it has been one of my favorite food descriptors.

Naturally, I was delighted to be asked to write about comfort food again, 36 years after that 1977 introduction.

Citrus-Lemon Grass Rice Pudding AP photo

Citrus-Lemon Grass Rice Pudding 8 servings (9 cups) Creamy and delicately perfumed, this version of rice pudding provides a cool lift at the end of a meal.

5 inches lemon grass, smashed, then finely chopped 3 cups low-fat (2 percent) milk 3 1/2 cups canned, well-shaken coconut milk (two 13.5-ounce cans; do not use low-fat) 1 1/2 cups sugar 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt 1 1/2 cups uncooked medium-grain white rice, preferably arborio, rinsed with cold water and drained well 1 1/2 tablespoons finely grated zest from a mixture of lemon, lime and orange, plus optional zest for garnish 1 teaspoon vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste 1/8 teaspoon ground cardamom

Use cooking oil spray to grease the inside/ insert of the slow-cooker.

Wrap up and tie the lemon grass in a piece of cheesecloth (for infusing). Place it in a medium, heavy-bottomed saucepan, along with the milk, coconut milk, sugar and salt, over medium heat. Once the mixture is hot but not boiling, pour it into the slow-cooker (including the lemon grass sachet).

Stir in the rice. Cover and cook on low for 2 hours; the mixture will be bubbling at the edges. Remove from the heat; discard the lemon grass sachet, then stir in the zest, the vanilla extract or paste and the cardamom.

Cool slightly, then divide among individual bowls. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until well chilled. Discard the wrap; garnish with the optional zest, if desired. The pudding will thicken further as it cools.

Use oatmeal for low-fat bread The ASSOCIATED PRESS This bread (above) is easy to make, needs only a single rise and is remarkably low in fat.

Oatmeal Batter Bread 12 servings; one 1-pound loaf 1 cup warm whole or 2 percent milk (105 to 115 degrees) 1/4 cup honey or packed light brown sugar 1 packet (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour 1 large egg, lightly beaten 1 tablespoon vegetable oil 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt 3/4 cup whole-wheat flour 1/2 cup old-fashioned or steel-cut rolled oats (do not use quick-cooking oats), plus more for optional garnish Combine the milk, honey or brown sugar and the yeast in the bowl of stand mixer or a mixing bowl, stirring until the yeast has dissolved. Let the mixture rest for 5 minutes.

spray.

Add the all-purpose flour, egg, oil and salt to the yeast mixture. Beat on low speed until combined, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed. Increase the speed to high; beat for 3 minutes. Stop to scrape down the sides of the bowl. The dough will be very sticky.

Use a wooden spoon to stir in the whole-wheat flour and oats until well incorporated; this will take some arm strength. Transfer the batter to the loaf pan, spreading it evenly. Cover, and set it in a warm place to rise for at least 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Uncover the loaf pan; sprinkle the bread with some oatmeal, if desired.

Bake for about 15 minutes, then tent loosely with aluminum foil.

Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until the bread sounds hollow when lightly tapped.

Uncover; immediately transfer the bread (in the loaf pan) to a wire rack to cool for at least 20 minutes before serving, or cool completely before storing.

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

Are cards in right place?

CELEBRITY CIPHER

When an average golfer gets a birdie (one under par), it is anticipated that he will make a mess of the next hole. But not a pro.

However, what do you think is the worst score by a pro immediately after making a hole in one?

In golf, you try to place your ball well for your next shot. This also applies in bridge.

Are your cards meshing well or badly with partner’s hand?

Look only at the North hand. South opens one heart, North raises to two hearts, and South rebids two spades. What should North do now?

Before you answer that question, what does South’s two-spade rebid show?

It indicates a hand too strong to pass out two hearts, but too weak to jump to four hearts. He is showing four spades and a hand with six losers (here, one spade, one heart, three diamonds and one club). South is asking North to look in particular at his holdings in the majors.

North has a useful spade queen, four trumps (a nine-card fit is much better than an eight-carder) and an ace. Yes, he has only seven high-card points and 4-3-3-3 distribution, but since his hand has those three pluses, he should jump to four hearts.

Agreed, on a bad day, declarer will lose three diamonds and one heart, but the odds make this game worth bidding, and it succeeds here.

Late last year in Australia, at a European tour event (yes, in Australia), one golfer had a hole in one. On the next hole, a par four with no water, he had an 11.

Dad wants to learn how to control emotions Washing one’s hands Dear Abby: I’m a dad in my 30s and I have a problem. I have been battling anger issues since I was a kid. I have been finding myself getting more and more worked up with my kids. When they misbehave, I lose it and yell at them. It is the way I was raised; however, I feel even worse afterward.

I really want to break this habit. I don’t want the only memories my children have of me to be images of my red face and bugged-out eyes hollering at them. Do you have any guidelines I can follow to get a better handle on my anger? – Loud Dad In West Virginia Dear Loud Dad: Yes, I do. And I’m glad you asked me because it’s important that you find other ways of relieving your frustration than taking it out on your children. It is not only counterproductive, it is extremely destructive. When a bigger person yells at a smaller person, the message is often lost because the smaller person (in your case, your children) simply shuts down out of fear that physical violence might follow. You should not ignore your feelings when your children act

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips up. Rather, you need to find another manner for expressing your emotions.

My booklet “The Anger in All of Us and How to Deal With It” offers suggestions on redirecting angry feelings in a healthy way. It can be ordered by sending your name and mailing address, plus a check or money order for $7 (U.S. funds), to Dear Abby – Anger Booklet, P.O. Box 447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. Shipping and handling are included in the price. Dealing with anger calmly and with reason is more effective than lashing out. Expressing your feelings is healthy when it’s done with a few well-chosen words that make your point. Sometimes when people are angry or frustrated about other things, they can lose control of their temper. In situations like these, it is important to evaluate the source of what might really be irritating you

before misdirecting your anger at someone who is blameless.

There are healthy ways of dealing with anger and frustration. Developing the control to express emotions verbally without being abusive or calling names is one of them. Another is to say a prayer (“Please Lord, don’t let me lose my temper!”) before opening your mouth. Leaving the room or going for a walk can be helpful.

Unhealthy ways that should be avoided include getting into your car when you are angry, or using alcohol or drugs to calm you.

My booklet offers many other suggestions for dealing with anger and frustration, and I hope it will be helpful to you.

However, if it isn’t, then you should discuss your problem with a mental health professional. It’s important to get a handle on your feelings so your children won’t grow up thinking that verbal abuse is normal.

Sexually active women must find right birth control pill Dear Doctor K: I’ve recently become sexually active and I’m planning to go on the pill. But there are so many different types of birth control pills.

Which one is right for me?

Dear Reader: I don’t know enough about you to give an answer that’s right for you. From my general remarks about these pills, I’m hopeful you can pinpoint the ones that seem right for you – and discuss them with your doctor. Birth control pills can be divided into two basic categories: combined pills and minipills. Most birth control pills are combined pills.

They contain a combination of two types of female sex hormones: the hormone estrogen and a progestogen (a group of hormones that includes progesterone). Minipills contain a progestogen, but no estrogen. The estrogen in combined birth control pills prevents ovulation, the release of a mature egg from a woman’s ovary.

Combined birth control pills also thicken cervical secretions, creating a barrier that makes it difficult for sperm to get into the uterus. They produce changes in the tubes that carry the egg from the ovaries to the uterus.

And they make it hard for a fertilized

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff egg to implant in the uterus. These effects are caused by the progestogen.

Combination birth control pills are 98 to 99 percent effective in preventing pregnancy. The more estrogen, the better the birth control effect. Unfortunately, the more estrogen, the higher the likelihood of side effects such as high blood pressure or headaches.

Minipills do not prevent ovulation as effectively as combination pills because they don’t contain estrogen. They mainly act by thickening secretions of the cervix and making it hard for a fertilized egg to implant in the uterus. They are about 98 percent effective. Minipills need to be taken exactly as directed. Even missing one pill can greatly reduce their effectiveness. Combination birth control pills are available in three subtypes: monophasic, biphasic and triphasic.

Monophasic pills contain a constant amount of estrogen and progestogen.

With biphasic and triphasic pills,

the dose varies over the course of the month. For most women, monophasic birth control pills are a good first option. They work as well as the more expensive and more complicated biphasic and triphasic products.

Minipills are a good option if you have a reason to avoid estrogen. The most common reasons are a tendency to develop blood clots, smoking and current breastfeeding. That’s because estrogen increases the tendency for blood clots. In smokers, even if they’ve never had a problem with blood clots in the past, starting on estrogen increases the risk for clots – and of the heart attacks and strokes caused by them. Estrogen reduces the amount of breast milk, so estrogen-containing birth control pills normally are not recommended in women who are breast feeding. It may take some trial and error to find the best birth control pill for you. Try to achieve the right hormonal balance – just enough to prevent pregnancy, but not enough to cause side effects.

helps keep away the flu Dr. Wallace: I read in your column that washing your hands is very important to help avoid colds and the flu. I know it’s the flu season now, and since I am very involved with a lot of school and family activities, I really need to stay well. Do you have any information on whether or not anti-bacterial soap is necessary for washing your hands? – Tommy, St. Louis, Mo. Dear Tommy: A doctor in West Virginia also responded to the column on hand washing. He sent me the following excellent advice that will help you stay active and healthy: Dr. Wallace: I’m glad that you inform your readers that the best way to avoid catching a cold or the flu is to wash one’s hands frequently (at least four times daily) especially before eating. Please allow me to inform your readers of the proper hand-washing technique. Warm water is not required, and any soap will do the job. Rubbing soapy hands for a minimum of 20 seconds is necessary. It’s the friction of rubbing the hands together that is most important. Wood County elementary students in our state of West Virginia were encouraged to wash their hands frequently as a project started by St. Joseph’s Hospital in Parkersburg. During the project, absenteeism fell by 1 percent. This doesn’t seem like much, but 125 more students a day were in the classroom being educated rather than being home and sick in bed! Health professionals agree that proper hand

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace washing is the best preventive medicine for children, teens and adults.

Besides colds and flu, other ailments, including infections and diarrhea, are easily transmitted by human hands. – Dr. J.M., Charleston, W.Va. Dr. Wallace: I’m 18 and so is my so-called boyfriend. We’ve dated for over a year and started having sex five months ago. I was a virgin and my boyfriend is the only one I’ve been sexually active with. I just found out that my “boyfriend” has been having sex with other girls. My best friend told me because two of the girls. When I confronted him, Joe denied it, but then the next day he admitted his sexual flings with four other girls in the last two months. He was also a virgin when we started our sexual relationship, and I was under the impression we were going to be faithful to each other – wrong! I have dropped him and will never go out with him again. Should I gamble that I am not infected, or should I see a doctor to be sure? – Nameless, Davenport, Iowa.

Dear Nameless: You should see a doctor immediately. Talk to a female counselor or physical education teacher, and ask her to recommend a female gynecologist. Do this as soon as possible.

Book notes: ‘The Gods of Guilt’

By RAE PADILLA FRANCOEUR More Content Now People love to hate defense attorneys, and Mickey Haller’s certainly proof of that.

The smart and unconventional lawyer who runs his Los Angeles practice from the back seat of a Lincoln Town Car takes on a vulnerable client accused of murdering a prostitute in “The Gods of Guilt,” a new and enjoyable “Lincoln Lawyer” legal thriller by the great Michael Connelly.

As Connelly shows in “The Gods of Guilt,” the cards are stacked against the defense attorney in many ways. There’s an innate assumption of guilt, for starters. Then there are the formidable and hostile foes – police, prosecutors and the aggrieved.

You have to have a thick skin and a contrary nature to build a defense and stay positive. Mickey Haller and his cadre of innovative investigators are the perfect foil to a punishing criminal justice system.

The accused is Andre La Cosse, said to be a “digital pimp.”

He sets up prostitutes with various websites that appeal to a range of tastes in order to attract greater numbers of clients. From the prostitutes he collects a percentage of each client’s fee. He’s enterprising, homosexual, slight of stature and, Haller realizes almost immediately, innocent of the charge of murdering his client Gloria Dayton.

A lot of the fun in a Lincoln Lawyer novel comes from Haller’s renegade tactics and defiance of the norms. To stay solvent, Haller’s top associate works on a lot of mortgage default cases.

One of her clients has a commercial property with large, unoccupied offices. Haller and his crew use an empty space in the mornings for meetings. They must

“The Gods of Guilt” is a deadly serious story of investigation and courtroom cunning. adjourn quickly, however, before the ear-splitting rock bands start practicing. As for the Lincoln Town Car with the printer and fax machine on a shelf in the front seat, it is so renowned that a movie gets made about Haller.

This real-life movie, which stars Matthew McConaughey, is referenced a few times in the book to humorous effect.

Mostly, though, “The Gods of

Guilt” is a deadly serious story of investigation and courtroom cunning. The gods referenced in the title are the 12 jurors who ultimately pronounce judgment.

La Cosse, Haller’s client, is a poor candidate for jail and his health declines precipitously as his incarceration and the trial proceeds. By the time the trial nears completion, he is fighting for his life. Despite his vilified

profession, he’s a sympathetic, caring character and we want him found innocent and quickly. The situation is dire.

It becomes clear that there are people, possibly aligned with law enforcement, that have a stake in La Cosse’s guilt. Witnesses are turned and Haller’s own staff become targets of a deadly hunt.

Haller’s tactic is to prove reasonable doubt. There are other people who might have wanted Dayton dead. She was used as an informer against a merciless drug cartel. Haller has to get the support of a powerful but incarcerated cartel leader who was framed, possibly by the same suspects who may have killed Dayton. The case is sufficiently complicated to show Haller’s prowess at deduction – and Connelly’s deft plotting.

Haller can be tough, but he’s got a big, messy soft spot. He fights for his innocent client, forsaking sleep and even his usual nightcaps. Years earlier, he gave the murder victim, Dayton, $25,000 to start a new life in Hawaii. She may have been reaching out to him with postcards when she was murdered.

And he’s wracked by sadness by the estrangement of his teenaged daughter. She is disgusted by the way he used technicalities to free a client who then caused the death of a friend of hers. This incident caused her much personal grief as well as humiliation at school.

Michael Connelly is also author of the Harry Bosch detective series, also set in Los Angeles. This is Connelly’s 26th book and, to the credit of this hard-working and talented author, it holds up with the best of them.

• “The Gods of Guilt,” by Michael Connelly is 400 pages and costs $28.
