By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com WILL COUNTY – Cellphones have been getting people in trouble lately.

Police recently have found drugs after stopping two drivers for talking on their cellphones, a practice that became illegal Jan. 1.

Meanwhile, a man hauled out of a Bolingbrook courtroom Wednesday, after his cellphone kept going off, was accused of having drugs on him as he was being removed for contempt of court.

Nicholas P. Weesies, 19, was appearing before Judge David Carlson in local court at the Bolingbrook Village Hall on Wednesday. A witness said Weesies’ cellphone rang soon after court began, and a Bolingbrook officer who was acting as a bailiff took it and set it on the judge’s bench.

When the phone kept going off with text messages and calls, the judge told Weesies his visit to court for the lo-

JOLIET – The Jackson Street bridge in downtown Joliet will be closed next week for planned maintenance work.

The bridge closure follows the closing of the Jefferson Street bridge for about three months at the end of 2013 when planned maintenance led to lengthy repair work.

Advertising director Steve Vanisko 815-280-4103 svanisko@shawmedia.com The Herald-News and TheHerald-News.com are a division of Shaw Media.

More closures will occur when the state of Illinois equips the downtown drawbridges so that they can be operated remotely, although the date for that work has not been set.

Joliet Mayor Thomas Giarrante and state Sen. Patrick McGuire are scheduled to meet Friday with representatives from the Illinois Department of Transportation to discuss the plan for remote operation and other bridge issues. The bridges, built in

the 1930s, have always been operated by tenders located at each drawbridge.

The state of Illinois owns and operates the bridges.

When the Jackson Street bridge closes Monday, a detour will be posted. Eastbound traffic will be sent on Broadway Street to the Ruby Street bridge. Westbound traffic will be sent on Scott Street to the Ruby Street bridge.

ny name when he handed over a pipe, and his answers to other questions made the officer suspicious, Allen said. Police searched the jeep to find a bag containing 340 grams of marijuana in the backseat, Allen said.

“Martinez was carrying $1,000 that was seized. Once his name was established, we learned he was wanted on four outstanding warrants,” Allen said.

Martinez, of the 1800 block of Mandan Village Drive in Plainfield, was booked into the county jail on charges of delivery of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia and driving with a suspended license.

On Jan. 10, Sylvain Bergeron, 42, of Stanstead, Quebec, Canada, was stopped by state police on Interstate 355 near Homer Glen for allegedly driving while talking on a cellphone.

Police reportedly found $1.2 million worth of cocaine in Bergeron’s vehicle and arrested him on drug delivery charges.

cal ordinance violation wasn’t going well. When Weesies responded with profane language, the judge told him he’d be spending the night in jail, the witness said.

As Weesies was being taken into custody, police found a half-gram of marijuana and two painkillers he did not have a prescription for in his pockets, Lt. Mike Rompa said.

Weesies, of the 100 block of Galewood Drive in Bolingbrook, was booked into the county jail on charges of drug possession and marijuana possession.

In Shorewood, an officer noticed Osvaldo Martinez, 22, talking on the phone while driving a black Jeep Cherokee on Black Road near Summit Creek Drive on Wednesday, Cmdr.

Allen said the officer had the Jeep pull over and “smelled the strong odor of burnt cannabis” when Martinez rolled down the window.

JOLIET – Maneuvers bar has lost its liquor license for three days starting Friday.

The city liquor commission office, headed by Mayor Thomas Giarrante, on Thursday announced penalties including $4,000 in fines for violations that occurred in July.

The action comes more than three

months after a combative hearing in which Joliet police officers said Maneuvers owner Fred Schramm was drunk and disorderly on the night he was arrested during a disturbance at the bar at 118 E. Jefferson St. Schramm in turn accused police of mistreating him during the arrest.

Schramm was found guilty of violating the liquor code on four violations: disorderly conduct, allowing patrons to smoke in the bar, allowing

an intoxicated person to remain in the bar and failing to report disorderly conduct.

Giarrante said the size of the fines is meant in part to cover the cost of the hearings, including overtime paid to police officers who testified.

Schramm could not be reached for comment. His attorney, Anthony Tomkiewicz, said Thursday that he had not yet seen the liquor commission ruling and could not comment.

A HELPING HAND Cornerstone Services assisted 143 clients with finding jobs last year

By ERIC SCHELKOPF eschelkopf@shawmedia.com

J

OLIET – Quintez Michels credits Cornerstone Services Inc. for helping him land his job at the Bob Evans restaurant in Joliet.

“They helped me learn job skills,” said the 27-year-old Michels, who has been working at the restaurant for four years.

“I learned what it takes to do the job right.”

For 45 years, Joliet-based Cornerstone Services has been lending a helping hand to individuals with disabilities. The nonprofit organization incorporated on March 20, 1969.

Cornerstone Services serves more than 900 people in Will and Kankakee counties. The agency helps individuals with developmental disabilities, mental illnesses, physical disabilities and sensory impairments.

The agency maintains 35 group homes, and another five are under development. Cornerstone Services is a member agency of the United Way of Will County, and 85 percent of its revenue comes from the state.

“Our mission is to make sure that people with disabilities have the same opportunities as anyone to live and work in their community,” said Matthew Lanoue, co-ordinator of public relations for Cornerstone Services.

That includes providing employment services, behavioral health services, residential services, community services and industrial operations. The organization started out as the Will County Sheltered Work-

The Job Club Center provides employment and life lessons to adults with disabilities in order to provide them with the same opportunities as anyone else. shop.

“We existed to provide work to adults with disabilities, and grew from there,” Lanoue said.

“We want to get people out in the community if at all possible.”

The agency’s name was changed to Cornerstone Services in 1986 as its services grew. And the organization continues to grow.

In November, Cornerstone Services opened a job club center at 2174 Oneida St. in Joliet.

“We teach them about getting ready for employment and helping maintain their current jobs,” said Chelsea McCollum,

employer consultant for Cornerstone Services.

They also learn social skills along with other skills designed to make them more independent. On this particular day, Michelle Finger, 25, was learning how to make a certain type of salad.

“It took a lot of steps, but at the end, it was good,” Finger said.

Finger, who currently lives in one of Cornerstone’s group homes, knows that learning her way around a kitchen will make her more independent.

“It will teach me how to be independent and cook,” she

“Our mission is to make sure that people with disabilities have the same opportunities as anyone to live and work in their community.”

Matthew Lanoue Co-ordinator of public relations for Cornerstone Services said.

Chrissy Fabel, 23, credited Cornerstone Services for helping her land her dishwasher

job at Steak ‘n Shake in Joliet.

“They helped me with practice interviews,” she said. “I got the job on the spot.”

While Fabel said she loves her job, she would like to take on additional responsibility.

“I would like to move up, maybe doing the grill or food preparation,” she said.

Last year, the agency found 143 jobs for its clients. Cornerstone Services’ employer consultant Todd Edge is in charge of finding jobs for the agency’s clients.

“It’s about using their natural skills to their fullest,” Edge said. “It’s really about me finding what is marketable in every client.”

Edge himself has a traumatic brain injury from a motorcycle accident in 1997.

“I was in a coma for five months,” he said. “I had to relearn everything.”

For more than two years, CloudBlue Technologies in Joliet has been employing clients from Cornerstone Services.

Their job is to break down computers and other electronic items for their recycled materials.

“It works just absolutely wonderful for us,” CloudBlue executive vice president Kevin Corrigan said. “These folks just need an opportunity. They are quite capable of maintaining a regular job.”

Although Lanoue said he is glad about the help that Cornerstone Services has provided over the years, he knows that not everyone who needs help is receiving it.

“The need is out there,” he said. “There are thousands of people in Will County who are not getting services.”

HOMEWOOD-FLOOSMOOR HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETICS

Death Former Bolingbrook girls coach at Lewis linked to accused of recruiting to new team IHSA says students granted eligibility transfers to H-F High alcohol

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com ROMEOVILLE – Police believe excessive drinking may have led to the death of a Joliet man Thursday in a Lewis University dorm room.

Elvis Dominguez-Mejia, 22, was not a student, but was visiting a friend who attends the university, police said in a statement.

The student “woke up to go to class and found his friend unresponsive on the floor” of the Fitzpatrick Hall dorm room, Will County Coroner Patrick K. O’Neil said.

Campus police were called at 10:30 a.m., but the investigation was turned over to Romeoville police, university spokeswoman Michelle Fregoso said.

Romeoville police said the preliminary investigation indicates the death may have been caused by excessive alcohol consumption but no foul play is suspected.

O’Neil said an autopsy would be scheduled for Friday.

Classes and events were held as scheduled on campus. Fregoso said the school “expresses its prayerful sympathy to all who are touched by this tragedy, especially family and friends.”

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com FLOSSMOOR – Former Bolingbrook girls basketball coach Tony Smith is reported to be the target of a lawsuit accusing him of recruiting girls from his old team and Plainfield to play for Homewood-Flossmoor High School, where he now coaches.

Smith declined to comment Thursday on the allegations, which came from an unnamed player on the Homewood-Flossmoor High School girls basketball team.

Homewood-Flossmoor High School had not received a copy of the lawsuit, a spokeswoman said Thursday.

“We’re aware of a lawsuit and will fully cooperate with any investigative authority,” spokeswoman Jodi Bryant said.

The lawsuit was quoted in media accounts, including the Chicago Tribune and the Southtown Star.

When The Herald-News re-

“The Illinois High School Association (IHSA) provided eligibility rulings on each of the transfer students at Homewood Flossmoor High School who have been referenced in the ongoing litigation. All were granted eligibility in regards to the IHSA residence and transfer by-laws.”

Marty Hickman, IHSA executive director via news release

quested a copy of the lawsuit from the Cook County Circuit Court, where it was reported to have been filed on Wednesday, the publication was told it was not available Thursday.

A member of the Home wood-Flossmoor High School girls basketball team identified only as Jane Doe is suing the school, charging that Smith recruited students from other schools, including four from Bolingbrook, one from Marist and one from Plainfield, according to the Chicago Tribune.

Homewood-Flossmoor’s girls

team is ranked first in the state for Class 4A schools in The Associated Press’ latest rankings.

The team beat Bolingbrook on Tuesday, ending a Bolingbrook conference winning streak that dated back to 2006.

The suit accuses Smith of recruiting the Bolingbrook students he worked with last year, promising help in college recruitment and starting positions, according to the Chicago Tribun’s report. Recruiting for athletic purposes is prohibited

by Illinois High School Association rules.

But Marty Hickman, the executive director of the IHSA, said in a news release issued Thursday that the organization is not currently investigating Homewood-Flossmoor.

“The Illinois High School Association (IHSA) provided eligibility rulings on each of the transfer students at Homewood-Flossmoor High School who have been referenced in the ongoing litigation,” the statement reads. “All were granted eligibility in regards to the IHSA residence and transfer bylaws.”

The statement said the “IHSA retains the right to open an investigation at any time and could do so if any information is presented that indicates IHSA bylaws may have been violated.”

Bolingbrook girls varsity coach Chris Smith said he’s a personal friend of the Homewood-Flossmoor coach.

“I don’t feel like he did anything, but that’s not my call or decision,” Smith said.

Bolingbrook schools put on lockdown because of shooting One man injured, condition unknown

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com BOLINGBROOK – Several schools were locked down Thursday afternoon after a man

was shot nearby.

Lt. Mike Rompa said police were called at 1:58 p.m. when shots were reported near Kingsbrooke Court and Kingsbrooke Crossing.

Two men were seen shooting before they fled in a silver or white Chevrolet sedan, Rompa said.

A man was found nearby and

was taken to the hospital for a gunshot wound to his midsection.

His condition was unknown Thursday afternoon, but did not appear to be life-threatening, reports said.

“It was learned the victim and the offenders are known to each other,” Rompa said.

Jane Addams, Brooks, Oak

View and Independence schools were placed in lockdown for about 10 minutes, while Bolingbrook High School was placed in a “hard” lockdown.

Rompa and a school spokeman said the lockdowns were only a precaution.

“The incident was in no way related to the school,” Rompa said.

Mayor: Bolingbrook moving forward

By KRISTIN PEDICINI

The Village of Bolingbrook in 2013

kpedicini@shawmedia.com BOLINGBROOK – During Thurday’s State of the Village luncheon, Bolingbrook Mayor Roger C. Claar said people are continuing to invest and move forward in the village.

“I want everyone here today to know about this town,” Claar said.

One event from 2013 to remember was the vast number of ash trees the village helped treat after an outbreak of Emerald Ash Borer, Claar said. Bolingbrook alone has about 30,000 ash trees.

“It was an expense we weren’t expecting,” Claar said. “We’ve cleared 6,000 trees ... and we have to re-treat those trees in 3 years.”

While reminiscing over the past year, Claar also touched on a few future road projects to keep an eye out for, including the 95th Street bridge in the summer, and the Diverging Diamond Interchange, with construction beginning in three years at the earliest.

Along with the road projects, Bolingbrook also

Bolingbrook Mayor Roger Claar discusses local businesses Thursday during his state of the village address, which was hosted by the Bolingbrook Chamber of Commerce and held at the Bolingbrook Golf Club. will be adding in the spring a new stoplight at Territorial Drive, according to Claar.

Throughout the meeting, Claar also discussed Bolingbrook’s business

Claar said new businesses in Bolingbrook include The Beer Market, Costco, Red Mango, Weather Tech, Art Van Furniture and All Saints, among others.

“That’s what we’re try-

ing to do ... to create more and more jobs,” he said.

“And you know what, we’re doing it.”

Before ending the luncheon, Claar commented on the village’s stance

with Illinois American Water, which provides Lake Michigan water for Bolingbrook. Claar said the water company created a Fire Prevention Charge to maintain meters and loss of water during fires.

“It’s a way to get into your pocket a little more,” Claar said. “And that’s what we’re trying to stop.”

While Claar has held his title in Bolingbrook for the past 28 years, he closed Thursday’s lunch by noting his tenure will reach 31 years before he decides whether or not he intends to run again.

“As I said last year, don’t order the yard signs yet,” Claar said. “This term could be it and in the eyes of some should be it.”

State’s Attorney’s office filed the charges late Wednesday night. The two Joliet men had been in custody since Tuesday afternoon. Both brothers live in the 1200 block of Fairfield.

The brothers went with Williams to the restaurant “under the guise of purchasing drugs from the victim,” accord-

ing to a statement from Aurora police. “When the three went into a restroom, the two suspects began to beat Williams in an attempt to rob him.”

Police said Dimitri Hosey-Green allegedly shot Williams during the fight, and the two brothers then ran to a relative’s apartment near the restaurant.

Police said they believe a relative drove the two brothers to Joliet.

But they were traced to Cicero, where they were arrested Tuesday afternoon at Cermak and Cicero avenues.

Bond was set Thursday morning at $1.5 million for Dimitri and $1 million for Jaquan.

Grundy County files lawsuit against owner of apartment complex

By CHRISTINA CHAPMAN -VAN YPEREN cchapman@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Grundy County has filed a lawsuit against a local apartment complex owner, alleging the conditions of the residences is dangerous to tentants.

The Grundy County State’s Attorney’s Office filed Tuesday the complaint against Robert A. Smith, owner of Tudor Park Apartments, on and around Mabel Court.

The State’s Attorney’s Office had an inspector review the apartments, Assistant State’s Attorney Perry Rudman said.

“It contains serious violations of the existing ordinance and minimal standards of sanitation, and that is of great concern,” he said.

The compaint filed Tuesday is specific on the problems with the apartments and on which apartments are having the issues.

The dangerous living environments include a common hallway that was below 50 degrees at times during the recent freezing temperatures, an apartment without heat for four days, another apartment without running water for days, furnace and stove issues, water leaks causing holes in walls and mold, multiple units invested with cockroaches and other heat issues, according to the complaint.

Asked about these specific problems, Smith said he would have to look up his maintenance requests to see if they match these concerns. The county is asking the court for a temporary restraining order

and permanent injunction, requiring Smith to make repairs to bring the proprieties in compliance with the county’s ordinances.

Smith said as of Thursday afternoon he had not seen the recent complaint, but that he has had interactions with the county previously. In the past, he claims the county has not been specific with the issues.

“I wrote them a letter in October to tell me what the problem is, give me a reasonable amount of time to fix it, and they are not doing that and now apparently I have a court case,” he said.

Smith said he has multiple complexes and every tenant has his phone number to reach him if they have problems. When they call, he said he has his maintenance staff get to the problem right away.

“Unfortunately, in this case, I am being bypassed,” Smith said.

The court filings state Smith has been warned previously by letter, phone calls and with inspections by the Grundy County Land Use office. It states Smith has “refused” to do the necessary acts to make the apartments comply with county codes.

If Smith does not fix the issues, the county wants the court to appoint a receiver to take possession of the premise and bring the properties up to code, and the ability to impose a lien on the property for any expenses the county undertakes doing so.

A court date has not been set.

CHANNAHON – A woman died after apparently becoming trapped under her home while trying to fix a frozen pipe.

Police Chief Jeff Wold said a neighbor found the body of Kathleen Moon, 52, Wednesday morning at the outside opening to the crawlspace of her Fryer Street residence.

“She had last been seen Sunday. It ap-

pears she was trying to install a heat lamp under the house and got trapped,” Wold said.

Moon lived alone. Her death does not appear to be foul play, Wold said.

Will County Coroner Patrick K. O’Neil said Moon was pronounced dead at the scene at 12:49 p.m. Wednesday.

“The preliminary autopsy [Thursday] shows her death resulted from asphyxia from being trapped under the house,” O’Neil said.

Diamond to spend $100K on tornado cleanup by March

By JESSICA BOURQUE jbourque@shawmedia.com MORRIS – The Grundy County Emergency Management Agency met Wednesday night to further discuss the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s denial of public assistance funds.

FEMA has already approved millions in federal aid for individual home and business owners, but has yet to deliver any funding to help local governments with their expenses.

The public assistance funding denied Jan. 9 would have done just that.

Severe storms and tornadoes ripped through the state Nov. 17. An EF2 tornado hit the Coal City and Diamond area, injuring four people and damaging hundreds of structures.

“The state formula is $3.50 of cost per capita using the state population,” Grundy County EMA Director Jim Lutz said.

“Based on that formula,

they were at least $10 million short of the threshold.”

Shortly after the funding was denied, Gov. Pat Quinn announced he would be appealing FEMA’s decision within the next month.

“Personally, I don’t think they have a very good chance because we’re so far from the threshold,” Diamond Mayor Terry Kernc said.

Kernc said the village will have spent $100,000 on tornado cleanup once the last of the debris is cleared, which should be done by March 1.

“Not only are we out that money, be we will also lose real estate tax this year and next year,” Kernc said. “Those homes that won’t have their water turned back on, we are also losing revenue from that.”

The village also is waiving building permits fees for those residents and business owners needing to rebuild.

“We’re accruing a lot of

extra expenses outside of just the cleanup,” Kernc said.

Kernc said she expects the tornado to cost the village several hundred thousand by the time all costs are taken into consideration. But because of aid from other state agencies, local public works offices and hundreds of volunteers, Kernc said the village was able to save thousands of dollars in recovery costs.

“The Department of Corrections even sent in prisoners to help us clean up debris,” Kernc said. “We had a huge volunteer effort from hundreds of companies and individuals. If we would have had to pay for all of the things they helped with, the cost would have been significantly higher than it is.”

As it stands, Kernc said Diamond has enough extra money in its general fund to pay for the accrued costs, even if FEMA denies the village assistance.

Plainfield schools retool website

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – Plainfield School District 202 officials are asking people to update their bookmarked links to school sites after launching a new website Thursday morning.

The new site, launched at 7:02 a.m. Thursday, may look similar to the old one.

But hidden under the cosmetics is a new infrastructure that district officials say will help increase data security after the system was hacked in August 2012.

“Breaches are going to

happen,” school spokesman Tom Hernandez said.

“That’s the reality of the world we live in with the Internet. However, it was important to us to make this a top priority. That’s how we got to this point.”

The hacker gained access to 23,000 emails of people who had applied to jobs with the district.

“What we did is we moved all the sites off of our network to a secure, outside platform,” Hernandez said. “We had to rebuild 31 websites on the new network’s templates.

But kudos to webmaster Ryan Boyce for getting

that done.”

Blackboard, the new platform, already supplied the district’s messaging systems. So the district was able to negotiate down to a lower price that saved tens of thousands of dollars, Hernandez said.

The first year of development cost the district $99,505. The second and third year of the three-year contract both cost $86,205.

The website is a direct response to the security breach. But Hernandez said the website is a good base for communication tools the district may employ in the future.

Debate on open burning rages on in Will County

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Will County Board members Thursday hotly disputed proposed changes in county laws on open fires, a debate that includes some vocal residents concerned about health hazards.

The board ended up tabling the controversial issue, just as it had done in December.

The board Thursday was set to vote on a new ordinance regulating open burning in unincorporated areas. But proposed changes submitted the day before created division, and the ordinance failed in a 14-11 vote.

When some county

board members suggested even more chages after the vote, they agreed to table it altogether for more discussion at a Feb. 13 meeting of the public health and safety committee. The ordiance had also been tabled at the December board meeting.

Joliet resident Maraline Mattke urged board members at the meeting to pass a stricter version of the ordinance that had been proposed before the recent changes.

She had sent a letter to the board saying leaf burning culminated in damage to her lungs, as well as a list of statistics from the American Lung Association on diseases affected by leaf burning, such as

pediatric asthma, diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

“Ultimately, I feel breathing is a fundamental right,” she said.

The stricter ordinance would have required open fires to be located not less than 1,000 feet from schools, parks, hospitals, nursing homes or residences with people who have chronic respiratory disease.

Changes submitted Wednesday elimninated the provision about keeping fires 1,000 feet away.

Board member Joseph Babich, D-Joliet, who chairs the public health and safety committee, did not approve of the changes to the proposed ordinance

and blamed them on several Republican board members.

“You didn’t have time to read them,” he said of the changes. “In a way, I was glad it was tabled and brought back to [the committee].”

Board member Charles Maher, R-Naperville, disagreed with the provision in the ordinance to keep fires 1,000 feet away from certain buildings. He said this was an issue people in the county have been discussing for decades.

“I have a number of folks in my area … that have properties that are a lot smaller than 1,000 feet, and this ordinance would infringe their right to do things they need to do

keep maintenance on their yards,” he said.

Board member James Moustis, R-Frankfort, agreed with Maher. He also questioned if burning leaves caused illnesses for many people.

“Nobody has demonstrated to me that seasonal burning of the leaves has ill effect on the majority of people,” he said.

“I’m not saying it doesn’t affect them, but I haven’t seen any real scientific evidence that this in and of itself is going to cause hardship on these folks.”

Board member Jacqueline Traynere, D-Bolingbrook, suggested board members who did not see the connection between illnesses and burning leaves

consult Google.

“When checking Google and burning leaves, it was very clear to me that they are an issue and there are definite health problems and it’s been documented by not only government agencies but universities,” she said.

After some county board members proposed more changes, several others expressed confusion over what those changes would be. Board speaker Herbert Brooks, D-Joliet, suggested tabling the ordinance for more discussion.

“Good discussion is necessary,” he said after the meeting. “Unfortunately what happened today was more confusion than understanding.”

Joliet plan commissioners recommend approval of mattress store

By ERIC SCHELKOPF eschelkopf@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A mattress store has moved a step closer to opening near the Louis Joliet Mall.

Joliet plan commissioners on Thursday unanimously recommended approval of plans of Oak Brook-based InSite Real Estate L.L.C. to build a

5,000-square-foot building on 0.64 acres of land at the northeast corner of Essington Road and Division Street that would house a mattress store. The land currently is zoned residential in unincorporated Will County.

InSite Real Estate is asking the city to annex the property and rezone it to general business zoning.

To buffer nearby homeowners, the existing trees will be preserved along the back sides of the property as much as possible and a six-foot high solid wood fence would be placed along the back property line to add more screening.

“Our intent is to keep those residents as undisturbed as we can,” InSite project manager Eric Ue-

&(()# "'% !$#&(#

belhor told commissioners.

He also said the development wouldn’t generate a lot of traffic.

“There will be minimal deliveries,” Uebelhor said.

“It’s a showroom only.

There will be no access off the residential streets.”

In addition, he said measures will be taken to make sure the light from the six lightpoles planned

for the development will not shine onto nearby homes.

“The lights will be shining downward,” he said.

Uebelhor said there are limited options for the site because it is so small.

“It’s a good use of the site that realistically would be difficult to develop with other applications,” Uebelhor said. “We think it is a

good proposal for a tough site. We hope it could generate some revenue for the city and a few jobs.”

Plans are for construction to begin in the spring, with the store opening in late fall or early spring, he said. Uebelhor said he couldn’t name what mattress store will occupy the building, noting the lease is still being finalized.

‘Gilligan’ professor has died Actor Russell Johnson was 89

By FRAZIER MOORE The Associated Press NEW YORK – Actor Russell Johnson, who became known to generations of TV fans as “The Professor,” the fix-it man who kept his fellow “Gilligan’s Island” castaways supplied with gadgets, has died. He was 89.

Johnson died Thursday morning at his home in Washington State of natural causes, said his agent, Mike Eisenstadt.

Johnson was a busy but little-known character actor when he was cast in the slapstick 1960s comedy about seven people marooned on an uncharted Pacific island.

He played high school science teacher Roy Hinkley, known to his fellow castaways as The Professor. There seemingly was nothing he couldn’t do when it came to building generators, short-wave radios and other contraptions from scraps of flotsam and jetsam he found on the island. But, as Russell would joke years later, the one thing The Professor never accomplished was figuring out how to patch the hole in the bottom of the S.S. Minnow so the group could get back to civilization.

During its three-season run on CBS, critics repeatedly lambasted the show as insipid. But after its cancellation in 1967, it found generations of new fans in reruns and reunion movies.

One of the most recent of the reunion films was 2001’s “Surviving Gilligan’s Island: The Incredibly True Story of the Longest Three-Hour Tour in History,” in which other actors portrayed the original seven-member cast while Johnson and two other surviving cast members narrated and reminisced.

In a 2004 interview, Johnson analyzed the show’s lasting appeal.

“Parents are happy to have

Russell Johnson, as the professor, poses Oct. 2, 1978, during filming of a two-hour reunion show, “The Return from Gilligan’s Island,” in Los Angeles.

Johnson died Thursday at his home in Washington State of natural causes.

He was 89. their children watch it,” he said.

“No one gets hurt. No murders.

No car crashes. Just good, plain, silly fun – that’s the charm.”

He admitted he had trouble finding work after “Gilligan’s Island,” having become typecast as the egg-headed professor. But he harbored no resentment for the show, and in later years he and other cast members, including Bob Denver, who had played the bumbling first mate Gilligan, often appeared together at fan conventions.

Johnson, Dawn Wells and Tina Louise were the last of the cast’s survivors. Wells played vacationing farm girl Mary Ann Summers and Louise was sexy movie star Ginger Grant. Besides Denver, the other stars were Alan Hale Jr. as Skipper Jonas Grumby and Jim Backus and Natalie Schafer as snooty millionaires Thurston and Lovey Howell.

Before “Gilligan’s Island,” Johnson had appeared in dozens of films and TV shows. His TV credits included “77 Sunset Strip,” “Gunsmoke,” “Rawhide,” “Wagon Train,” “The Lone Rang-

er,” “The Twilight Zone,” “Ben Casey,” “Hawaiian Eye” and “Death Valley Days.”

He also appeared in more than two dozen feature films, including “MacArthur,” “The Greatest Story Ever Told” and cult science fiction favorites such as “It Came From Outer Space.” In the 1953 Western “Law and Order,” he took part in a gunfight with the film’s star, Ronald Reagan.

Although he didn’t work as often after “Gilligan’s Island,” Johnson remained active into the late 1990s, appearing on such shows as “My Two Dads,” “Dynasty” and “Newhart.”

The future actor was part of a family of seven children raised in Ashley, Pa. He joined the Army Air Corps during World War II and served as a B-24 bombardier on missions over the Pacific war zone, breaking his ankles in 1945 when his plane was shot down over the Philippine island of Mindanao.

He was discharged as a first lieutenant in November 1945, having earned a Purple Heart and other medals.

Rauner is center of GOP governor candidate jabs

By SARA BURNETT and SOPHIA TAREEN The Associated Press CHICAGO – The millions that businessman Bruce Rauner has raised for the Republican contest for Illinois governor have allowed him to flood the airwaves with television ads but also have made him the main target of his opponents, who unloaded on the wealthy political newcomer during their first joint campaign appearance of 2014.

State Sens. Bill Brady and Kirk Dillard and state Treasurer Dan Rutherford jumped on Rauner on Thursday for everything from his flip-flop on rais-

ing the minimum wage to his daughter’s entrance in an elite high school, prompting Rauner to declare it “a little bit of a beat up Brucey morning.” The comments followed news conferences both Dillard and Brady held in the past week that focused solely on criticizing the equity investor from Winnetka.

Rauner called the attention a positive sign and said he expects it every day until the March 18 primary.

The attacks may be the best strategy available to his three rivals, who have lagged significantly behind in fundraising.

Rauner raised more than $7 million last year – a to-

Rutherford raised about $1.5 million, while Dillard brought in about $900,000 and Brady about $203,000.

Cook leading concealedcarry applications The Associated Press SPRINGFIELD – Almost one in four of the roughly 23,000 Illinois residents who have applied for concealedcarry permits live in Cook County, but new figures from the state police show most of the relative interest comes from rural areas of the state when factoring in population. Data released this week show the highly populated county that’s home to Chicago leads the rankings with more than 5,300 applications filed between Jan. 5 and Jan. 13.

Suburban Chicago’s densely populated Will

and DuPage counties followed in second and third with 1,759 and 1,589 applications, respectively. But on a per-capita basis, rural counties have the highest proportion of applicants compared to urban and suburban communities.

When comparing application numbers to a county’s population, Cumberland County in east-central Illinois ranks first, the Chicago Sun-Times reported.

Fifty-six people there have applied for the permits.

Cumberland has about 11,000 residents. In White County in southern Illinois, there have been 70 applica-

tions so far. The county has about 15,000 residents. And in Wabash County in southeastern Illinois, there were 52 applications. The county has about 12,000 residents.

On a per-capita basis, Cook County ranks last among Illinois’ 102 counties, the newspaper reported.

State Rep. Brandon Phelps, D-Harrisburg, was the lead architect of the measure that led Illinois to become the last state in the country to allow residents to carry concealed weapons. He tells the Sun-Times he already has applied for a permit.

Rauner is if everybody trains their fire on him directly,” said Republican strategist Doug O’Brien, who was a former chief aide to U.S. Sen. Mark Kirk.

But it’s uncertain who

benefits from the approach.

Being singled out by the veteran lawmakers could strengthen Rauner’s image as the outsider who wants to “shake up Springfield.”

And if none of the other candidates have money to break out of the pack, all of their efforts may just be drowned out by Rauner’s prolific messaging. Those ads – which have been running for weeks and include radio, Internet and social media in addition to TV – have focused on his plans to improve the economy, establish term limits for lawmakers and improve education.

Brady said his focus on Rauner was necessary for the party, particularly on

the minimum wage issue.

At a candidate forum last month, Rauner said he’d support bringing Illinois’ $8.25 minimum wage rate down to the national rate of $7.25. Weeks later, he said he’d be in support of raising it under the right c i r c u m s t a n c e s . R a u ner has called the earlier stance “a mistake.”

“The Republican Party, not just Bruce Rauner, took a hit because of his position, whatever it might be, on minimum wage. It was damaging,” he told reporters after Thursday’s forum in Mount Prospect.

“I had to defend the fact that Republicans don’t stand for cutting people’s wages.”

NEWS BRIEFS Income tax filing season delayed SPRINGFIELD – Illinois revenue officials say residents won’t be able to file their 2013 income taxes until the end of January – a two-week delay.

The (Springfield) State Journal-Register reports the delay follows a similar federal postponement. Refunds and the April 15 filing deadline aren’t affected.

The Internal Revenue Service is delaying the start of the tax-filing season because of last year’s government shutdown that furloughed workers who were programming and testing tax-processing systems.

Now, state and federal returns can be filed starting

Jan. 31.

Sue Hofer is a spokeswoman for the Illinois Department of Revenue.

She says the two-week delay isn’t expected to cause problems in Illinois because “very few people file in January anyway.”

Employers have until Jan. 31 to give employees W-2 forms.

Legislation eyes animal abuse registry SPRINGFIELD – An Illinois lawmaker has introduced legislation that’d create a list of people who’ve been convicted of animal cruelty charges.

The Springfield bureau of Lee Enterprises newspapers reported that the legisla-

tion is aimed at protecting animals.

The measure is sponsored

by Chicago Democrat Toni Berrios and would be similar to a state registry for sex offenders.

The database would track anyone who’s older than 18 and has been convicted of cruel treatment, aggravated cruelty or animal torture.

It’d include their names, birthdates and addresses.

People on the list wouldn’t be allowed to own a pet or work with animals.

They’d also have to notify authorities of a change of address. People wouldn’t be removed from the list until they’ve had psychiatric or psychological testing.

The MH-60 Black Hawk helicopter was returning from a routine training flight when it made a “hard landing” just before 11:30 p.m. Wednesday on or near the airstrip at the base in coastal Georgia, said Army Maj. Allen Hill, a spokesman for the crew’s aviation unit.

NSA review quest for public trust

By JULIE PACE The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – Faced with Edward Snowden’s first leaks about the government’s sweeping surveillance apparatus, President Barack Obama’s message to Americans boiled down to this: trust me.

“I think on balance, we have established a process and a procedure that the American people should feel comfortable about,” Obama said in June, days after the initial disclosure about the National Security Agency’s bulk collection of telephone data from millions of people.

But the leaks kept coming. They painted a picture of a clandestine spy program that indiscriminately scooped up phone and Internet records, while also secretly keeping tabs on the communications of friendly foreign leaders, like Germany’s Angela Merkel.

On Friday, Obama will unveil a much-anticipated blueprint on the future of those endeavors. His changes appear to be an implicit acknowledgement that the trust he thought Americans would have in the spy operations is shaky at

President Barack Obama gestures as he speaks Thursday during an Expanding College Opportunity event in the South Court Auditorium in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building on the White House complex in Washington. best. His focus is expected to be on steps that increase oversight and transparency while largely leaving the framework of the programs in place.

The president is expected to back the creation of an independent

public advocate on the secretive Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, which approves the bulk collections and currently only hears arguments from the government.

And seeking to soothe international anger, Obama will extend some

privacy protections to foreigners and increase oversight of the process used to decide on foreign leader monitoring.

In previewing Obama’s speech, White House spokesman Jay Carney said Thursday that the president believes the government can make surveillance activities “more transparent in order to give the public more confidence about the problems and the oversight of the programs.”

For Obama, the reality of the public’s fraying trust settled in slowly over a summer of relentless disclosures based on the 1.7 million documents Snowden is believed to have stolen while working for the NSA as a contractor. The revelations chased Obama abroad, becoming a centerpiece of summits with world leaders and a long-planned meeting with Merkel in Berlin.

Polling suggests the public is largely divided about the NSA spying. But a November survey from ABC News and The Washington Post found that just 35 percent of Americans approved of the way Obama was handling the agency’s surveillance operations, while 53 percent disapproved.

Vatican comes under sharp criticism for sex abuse

By JOHN HEILPRIN and NICOLE WINFIELD The Associated Press GENEVA – The dressing down came in the unlikeliest of places, a stuffy U.N. conference room before an obscure human rights committee. After decades of fending off accusations that its policies and culture of secrecy had contributed to the global priest sex abuse scandal, the Vatican was called to account.

U.N. experts interrogated The Holy See for eight hours Thursday about the scale of abuse and what it was doing to prevent it, marking the first time the Vatican had been

forced to defend its record at length or in public.

The Vatican was compelled to appear before the committee as a signatory to the U.N. Convention for the Rights of the Child, which among other things calls for governments to take all adequate measures to protect children from harm and ensure their interests are placed above all else.

The Holy See was one of the first states to ratify the treaty in 1990, eager to contribute the church’s experience in caring for children in Catholic schools, hospitals, orphanages and refugee centers. The Holy See submitted a first imple-

mentation report in 1994, but didn’t provide progress reports for nearly two decades until 2012.

By then, the clerical sex abuse scandal had exploded around the globe: thousands of priests were accused of raping and molesting thousands of children over decades while their bishops moved them from parish to parish rather than report them to police.

At times, the exchanges were sharp Thursday.

“How can we address this whole systematic policy of silencing of victims?” asked committee member Benyam Mezmur, an Ethiopian academic. “There are two principles

that I see are being undermined in a number of instances, namely transparency and accountability.”

Monsignor Charles Scicluna, the Vatican’s former sex crimes prosecutor, replied: “I am with you when you say that all of these nice words will not mean anything ... if there is not more transparency and accountability on the local level.”

The Vatican insisted it had little jurisdiction to sanction pedophile priests.

“Priests are not functionaries of the Vatican,” Archbishop Silvano Tomasi, the Vatican’s U.N. ambassador in Geneva, told the committee.

Senate easily passes $1.1T spending bill

Ohio killer’s execution takes almost 25 minutes

By ANDREW WELSH–HUGGINS The Associated Press

By ANDREW TAYLOR The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Congress sent President Barack Obama a $1.1 trillion government-wide spending bill Thursday, easing the harshest effects of last year’s automatic budget cuts after tea party critics chastened

by October’s partial shutdown mounted only a faint protest.

The Senate voted 7226 for the measure, which cleared the House a little more than 24 hours earlier on a similarly lopsided vote.

Obama’s signature on the bill was expected in time to prevent any interruption in government funding Saturday at midnight.

The huge bill funds every agency of government, pairing increases for NASA and Army Corps of Engineers construction projects with cuts to the Internal Revenue Service and foreign aid.

It pays for implementation of Obama’s health care law; a fight over implementing “Obamacare” sparked tea party Republicans to partially shut the government down for 16 days last October.

Also included is funding for tighter regulations on financial markets, but at levels lower than the president wanted. The compromise-laden legislation reflects the realities of divided power in Washington and a desire by both Democrats and Republicans for an election-year respite after three years of budget wars that had Congress and the White House lurching from crisis to crisis. Both parties looked upon the

measure as a way to ease automatic spending cuts that both the Pentagon and domestic agencies had to begin absorbing last year.

Shortly before the final vote, Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, delivered a slashing attack on Senate Democrats, accusing them of ignoring the problems caused by the health care law. Unlike last fall, when he spoke for 21 straight hours and helped force the government shutdown over defunding “Obamacare,” this time he clocked in at 17 minutes and simply asked the Senate to unanimously approve an amendment to strip out Obamacare funding. Democrats easily repelled the maneuver.

The 1582-page bill was really 12 bills wrapped into one in negotiations headed by Rep. Harold Rogers, R-Ky., and Sen. Barbara Mikulski, D-Md., respective chairmen of the House and Senate Appropriations committees, and their subcommittee lieutenants.

They spent weeks hashing out line-by-line details of a broad two-year budget accord passed in December, the first since 2009.

The bill, which cleared the House on a vote of 35967, increases spending by about $26 billion over fiscal 2013, with most of the increase going to domestic programs. Almost $9 billion in unrequested money for overseas military and diplomatic operations helps ease shortfalls in the Pentagon and foreign aid budgets.

The nuts-and-bolts culture of the appropriators is evident throughout the bill. Lower costs to replace

screening equipment, for example, allowed for a cut to the Transportation Security Administration.

Lawmakers blocked the Agriculture Department from closing six research facilities. And the Environmental Protection Agency is barred from issuing rules on methane emissions from large livestock operations.

Another provision exempts disabled veterans and surviving military spouses from a pension cut enacted last month. House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, signaled in a brief hallway conversation with The Associated Press that he would oppose a broader drive to repeal the entire pension provision, which saves $6 billion over the coming decade by reducing the annual cost-of-living adjustment for working age military retirees by 1 percentage point.

The National Institutes of Health’s proposed budget of $29.9 billion falls short of the $31 billion budget it won when Democrats controlled Congress. Democrats did win a $100 million increase, to $600 million, for so-called TIGER grants for high-priority transportation infrastructure projects, a program that started with a 2009 economic stimulus bill.

Civilian federal workers would get their first pay hike in four years. Democrats celebrated winning an addition $1 billion over last year for the Head Start early childhood education program and excluding from the bill a host of conservative policy “riders” advanced by the GOP.

The Herald-News / TheHerald-News.com

LUCASVILLE, Ohio – A condemned man appeared to gasp several times and took an unusually long time to die – more than 20 minutes – in an execution carried out Thursday with a combination of drugs never before tried in the U.S. Dennis McGuire’s attorney Allen Bohnert called the convicted killer’s death “a failed, agonizing experiment” and added: “The people of the state of Ohio should be appalled at what was done here today in their names.”

McGuire’s lawyers had attempted last week to block his execution, arguing that the untried method could lead to a medical phenomenon known as “air hunger” and cause him to suffer “agony and terror” while struggling to catch his breath.

McGuire, 53, made loud snorting noises during one of the longest executions since Ohio resumed capital punishment in 1999. Nearly 25 minutes passed between the time the lethal drugs began flowing and McGuire was pronounced dead at 10:53 a.m.

Executions under the old method were typically

much shorter and did not cause the kind of sounds McGuire made.

Ohio prisons spokeswoman JoEllen Smith had no comment on how the execution went but said a review will be conducted as usual.

Prison officials gave intravenous doses of two drugs, the sedative midazolam and the painkiller hydromorphone, to put McGuire to death for the 1989 rape and fatal stabbing of a pregnant newlywed, Joy Stewart.

The method was adopted after supplies of a previously used drug dried up because the manufacturer declared it off limits for capital punishment.

SOUTH SUDAN

IF YOU NEED TO LOSE LESS THAN 30 LBS, then don’t read this

AP file photo

South Sudanese government forces ride on a vehicle Sunday through the still-smoldering town, after government forces Friday retook from rebel forces the provincial capital of Bentiu, in Unity State, South Sudan.

Banks robbed, cars taken

By ILYA GRIDNEFF and JASON STRAZIUSO The Associated Press JUBA, South Sudan – The U.N.’s top aid official in South Sudan watched helplessly as armed men in uniform stole a car from an aid group. Thugs took $50,000 of goods from Mercy Corps. Tons of food have been stolen, and $500,000 taken from a bank.

With renewed warfare reverberating throughout the world’s newest country, wholesale looting of vehicles, equipment and supplies belonging to aid groups is crippling humanitarians’ abilities to help. There is much work to do: Even before the fighting broke out last month, the people of South Sudan, one of the world’s poorest countries, were suffering from dismal health care and little education.

Now it’s much worse and they need even more help: Thousands of people have been killed and hundreds of thousands

displaced by a month of fighting in South Sudan between factions of the military as well as ethnic militias.

Armed men Thursday looted the Doctors Without Borders office in the city of Malakal, said Louisa Markering, the group’s emergency coordinator.

Computers and phones were taken.

“It’s getting more and more difficult,” said Markering, who noted that this was the second mass theft against the group since the conflict broke out. “If they steal our assets it’s going to be more difficult to do our work. ... It makes our life difficult, if not impossible, if our security cannot be guaranteed.”

The thefts have been particularly widespread in Bentiu, the capital of the oil-rich Unity State, which was in rebel hands for much of the last month before government troops retook the city.

Toby Lanzer, the U.N.’s top humanitarian official in the country, watched men in uniform steal a car

from an unnamed international aid group last week.

“Our efforts to stop it did not succeed,” Lanzer wrote on Twitter, where he noted that it wasn’t worth risking lives to save a car. “Looting of aid agencies’ property in #Bentiu will result in less aid reaching civilians who need the most help.”

Mercy Corps plans to return to Bentiu on Monday. The group had been delivering water and sanitation to refugees at the U.N. camp there. Then it lost $50,000 in office equipment and a motorbike.

“Now our assets are gone and it affects our work in the region,” country director Mathieu Rouquett said.

Doctors Without Borders’ compound in Bentiu was also hit, with virtually everything stolen, said Ines Hake, the group’s medical coordinator in Juba.

Hake urged all sides to respect the integrity of medical facilities and allow all ethnic groups to seek medical care.

BUT

if you need to lose 30 lbs, 50 lbs or more, then this important message is for you. Now we understand you’re probably skeptical about weight loss products. You’ve probably tried just about everything. And this is all the more reason to read further, because you’ll discover that this is not a typical ad about weight loss. Instead, we’re looking for real people like you to be part of a very limited group that gets to try a revolutionary breakthrough weight loss program as part of our pre-market development activities.

You may be thinking . . . pre-market? Am I going to be a guinea pig test subject? Absolutely not.

Our products are independently tested by Universities in Southern California to assure they deliver amazing results. Then as a separate step, we gather a group of real people that try the product and provide us honest opinions about the product, which is what this message is about. Joliet is the only city selected for this pre-market activity, thus this is an exclusive opportunity for you. Why was Joliet selected?

We believe people with Midwestern values provide honest feedback, and that is what we are looking for.

Will the product work for me? Will I lose weight and size? Absolutely YES!! The program was designed for people that need to lose 30 pounds or more, and addresses two key issues that have caused you to struggle with weight loss. First, based upon our University tests, we discovered that as people gain weight, their bodies become less and less eficient in saturating their blood with oxygen.

Why is this important? Because: fat will only burn when you have oxygen present. And unfortunately, the heavier you are, the less oxygen your blood carries making it increasingly more dificult to lose weight. To get your body burning fat eficiently, oxygenation is the key. Our innovative program takes only 8 minutes and is based on a unique accelerated breathing technique combined with specialized stationary exercises designed to do just that . . . enhance your oxygenation. It’s called Oxygen 8. There’s no equipment involved. There’s no jumping around . . . you’re stationary . . . and it’s only 8 minutes.

Secondly, we all know that eating plays a role in losing weight. But no one wants a highly

restrictive diet or a crash diet. To be successful, you need to stay full and satisied. Which is why we’ve combined the Oxygen 8 exercises with our research based High Volume Eating. You’ll learn about dozens and dozens of foods and delicious recipes that you can eat as much as you want. Plus, No Foods Are Off Limits (like brownies and desserts). Instead, you’ll learn the secrets of staying completely satisied while the pounds are melting away. And naturally, each person’s results will vary depending upon your starting weight, but we know you’ll be amazed at your results.

By participating you will receive the product which you’ll use in the comfort of your own home. At the start of the program, we will photograph you and then track your results. And each month we will photograph you again and provide you ongoing support as you’re losing the weight. Some participants will be selected and ilmed for use on a television commercial where they express their honest opinions.

We are holding short information meetings in Joliet on January 25th and 26th where you’ll learn about the product and what is involved.

We have very limited space and the slots ill up very quickly. We’re only interested in participants that truly wish to lose pounds, inches and transform their body. There are no fees or costs, and you will not be pitched to buy anything at this meeting or at any time if you are selected to participate. The slots will ill up quickly, so call now to reserve your space.

Airfares continue to rise, up 12 percent since ’09

By SCOTT MAYEROWITZ

“Anyone traveling today will know that those flights are full.

Just through supply and demand, those fares will go up.”

The Associated Press NEW YORK – The price to board an airliner in the United States has risen for the fourth straight year, making it increasingly expensive to fly almost anywhere.

The average domestic roundtrip ticket, including tax, reached $363.42 last year, up more than $7 from the prior year, according to an Associated Press analysis of travel data collected from millions of flights throughout the country.

The 2 percent increase outpaced inflation, which stood at 1.5 percent.

Airfares have risen nearly 12 percent since their low in the depths of the Great Recession in 2009, when adjusted for inflation, the analysis showed.

Ticket prices have increased as airlines eliminated unprofitable routes, packed more passengers into planes and merged with one another, providing travelers with fewer options.

Today, 84 percent of seats are filled with paying passengers, up from 82 percent in 2009.

“Anyone traveling today will know that those flights are full,” said Chuck Thackston, managing director of data and analytics for the Airlines Reporting Corp, which processes ticket transactions for airlines and more than 9,400 travel agencies, including websites such as Expedia and Orbitz. “Just through supply and demand, those fares will go up.”

An American Airlines jet takes off in November from Washington’s Ronald Reagan National Airport.

And none of this factors in the bevy of extra fees travelers now face for checking bags, getting extra legroom or even purchasing a blanket, meal or pair of headphones. The typical traveler pays an additional $50 roundtrip to check a single suitcase.

Those fees, introduced in 2008 to offset losses from rising fuel prices, now bring in $3.4 billion a year for U.S. airlines and have helped them return consistent annual profits for the last four years.

Airlines pay just over $3 a gallon for jet fuel, up from $1.89 in 2009. Another $2.7 billion a year is collected in reserva-

tion-change fees, with airlines charging up to $200 to revise an itinerary.

“I love to travel, but they’re making it more difficult,” said Brian Kalish, a frequent flier from Arlington, Va. “Maybe I’ve been spoiled that it used to be so cheap to fly.

It just feels like they are charging more and giving less.”

The AP reviewed data from 6 million annual flights taken in the U.S., analyzing fees and government on-time records along with fare data from the Airlines Reporting Corp.

Jean Medina, spokeswoman for Airlines for

America, the airlines’ trade and lobbying group, said over the long-term fares have not climbed as fast as inflation and that flying “remains a great bargain.”

“Carriers continue to invest in their products with new planes, new services and new destinations,” Medina said. “It’s a great time to fly.”

Airlines are able to push fare and fee hikes because there is less competition.

“You get some pricing power as a result,” said airline consultant Robert Mann.

A wave of consolidation that started in 2008 has left four U.S. airlines

– American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, Southwest Airlines and United Airlines – controlling more than 80 percent of the domestic air-travel market.

Discount airlines such as Allegiant Air and Spirit Airlines have grown at breakneck speed but still carry a tiny fraction of overall passengers.

“Even with the presence of a number of strong, sizable low-fare airlines, you are still seeing airfares go up sizably,” said Henry Harteveldt, a travel industry analyst with Hudson Crossing.

Starting July 1, fliers also will face higher taxes. The government’s

security fee is currently $2.50 each way for a nonstop flight, capped at $5 each way if a traveler has a connection. This summer, that fee will be $5.60 each way whether or not there’s a connection. The fee hike is estimated to cost travelers an extra $1 billion a year.

Higher fares did not mean better service for passengers last year.

During the first 11 months of last year, 19 percent of flights failed to arrive within 15 minutes of their scheduled time.

That’s up from 16 percent during the same period in 2012, according to data kept by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics.

The number of flights canceled in those 11 months also jumped nearly 15 percent to 81,265.

The government has yet to release data for December, but the numbers won’t be pretty. A series of snow and ice storms led to thousands of additional delays and cancellations.

“If we’re paying more,” Kalish said, “we should get more in return.”

OUR VIEW

Next step in traffic safety It takes teamwork to make Illinois roads safer to drive.

Automakers have done their part. Vehicles have better safety equipment. In crashes, motorists are more likely to survive.

Government has done its part. Illinois state leaders have approved billions of dollars in road repairs. Likewise, lawmakers and the governor regularly team up to enact laws to improve traffic safety.

But there remains one big obstacle to improved traffic safety. The motorist behind the wheel. If the motorist can adjust, fewer crashes, injuries and fatalities will result.

In the past half decade, Illinois recorded fewer than 1,000 traffic fatalities a year. That’s a major accomplishment, considering that as late as 1979, more than 2,000 fatalities were recorded a year.

(The highest death toll was in 1941, when 2,600 people were killed.)

But from a low of 911 deaths in 2009 (the lowest death toll since 1921), the numbers have edged upward to 973, the provisional total last year.

To halt that rise, drivers should embrace all safety laws. The newest one is a ban on drivers using hand-held cellphones. (Motorists still can talk on cellphones if they use hands-free technology.)

As of Jan. 1, first-time offenders face a $75 fine, which rises for subsequent offenses. If you rack up four violations, your driver’s license could be suspended.

State Police continue to target their “Fatal Four” infractions – speeding, no seat belts, distracted driving, and driving under the influence.

In recent years, tougher DUI laws have assisted in reducing drunken driving fatalities.

So far this year, the traffic safety news is good.

As of Wednesday, provisional statistics on fatal crashes for 2014 show 13 deaths, compared to 31 this time a year ago. Heavy snow and subzero conditions, which kept some drivers off the roads part of last week, likely contributed to the reduction.

Those difficult conditions didn’t last long.

That leaves it up to motorists to practice safe driving daily and put state traffic fatalities on a downward trend again.

VIEWS

Embarking on a life-changing venture How about this weather? I say that to mask what I really want to talk about, but I’m not quite ready to talk about it. I’m not very good at keeping secrets, though.

A lot of people already know so I don’t see any point in keeping you in the dark. Long-time readers know that there isn’t too much I don’t share on these pages.

I’m about to embark on a life-changing venture. I’m equally excited and scared. I feel like I’m standing at the edge of an Olympic diving board, looking down at the pool, and I don’t know whether there’s any water in it. The only way to find is to jump.

I guess I could climb back down the ladder, but I think it’s a little too late for that since I already quit

RAMBLIN’ MAN David Porter my job. There’s only one way to test these waters and that’s to jump.

Just after Christmas, I signed a contract to buy a newspaper. It’s a small, community newspaper in Southern Illinois, and no, it’s not one that you’re holding in your hands today. I can’t say where yet because the newspaper I’m buying hasn’t announced the sale yet. I think it would be bad form to spill the news before the newspaper does it.

Why would anyone buy a newspaper? Aren’t newspapers going

the way of the dinosaur? I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard that.

It’s true, the way news is delivered is changing and even small, hometown papers have to adapt to new media. And I will, too. But I think the need for news and the desire for news is stronger than it’s ever been. What is news but information, and people still want information.

I won’t go into all the reasons why newspapers, in general, have been struggling for the past several years. The Internet is only part of it. But small, community newspapers provide information that is not easily found on the Internet.

See RAMBLIN’ MAN, page 22

THE FIRST AMENDMENT Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

OPINION

Paper is voice of community • RAMBLIN’ MAN Continued from page 21 Where else do you find out when the Lion’s Club in your town is having a fish fry? Where else do you find pictures of your Little League champ? Where else do you find the local police report, a listing of church services, birth, wedding and death announcements – all in one,convenient location? Where else do you find a wide array of advertisements to help you decide where to buy bananas or your next vehicle and the where best rates on bank loans are at?

A good, community newspaper is the voice of the community and a place where everyone in town can learn about local government and share their ideas and opinions.

As corrupt as government seems to be at times, can you imagine what politics would be like if there were not independent news providers maintaining some semblance of transparency? Newspapers are as vital to our democracy today as they were when the Constitution was written.

Some of my friends have told me how great it is that I’m following my dream. While it may seem that way, owning my own newspaper has never been one of those nagging entries on my proverbial bucket list. My goals in life have been to live comfortably, provide for my family and smoke cigars.

No, owning a newspaper for the sake of doing it has never been my priority. It’s not something that I particularly want to do.

It’s something that I have to do.

I still want to live comfortably and smoke cigars.

Back in June, I was talking to a friend in the industry about a newspaper I thought would be a good property. In fact, I had been telling other newspaper people about the opportunity for at least three years.

My friend agreed that it sounded promising and suggested that I look into it for myself. I was hesitant because I’ve grown quite fond of having a steady paycheck and food on my table. He was insistent, though, and made me promise that I would look into it. A promise is a promise.

So, I approached the newspaper publisher, whose family has held the business for 75 years. I knew he had turned down other offers to sell his paper, so I convinced myself that he was just waiting for the right person to come along. And I’m the right person.

That may sound like ego talking, but one has to be confident in his abilities. It’s like eyeing the pretty girl at the dance; if you think she won’t dance with you, you talk yourself

out of asking her. So, you muster up the courage to approach her knowing that the worst thing that can happen is you go back to holding up the wall, which you were doing already.

Well, I’m on the dance floor now, which happens to be on the edge of an Olympic diving board if we’re to be consistent in our analogies. I know it doesn’t make sense, but neither does quitting your job at 49 and taking on a project like this. But, you know, I don’t think even Superman knew for sure that his cape would work until he took that first leap.

Well, I may be a dinosaur – because we love metaphors.

But there’s a thing about dinosaurs – we may be old and bulky, but we have very sharp teeth and ferocious attitudes.

So, starting next week, I’ll be operating without a safety net. But I’ve been in this business for 30 years now; it’s not my first rodeo. Failure is neither likely nor an option. I just hope there’s plenty of water in that pool.

Asian carp report proves disappointing

BY HTR MEDIA OF MANITOWOC (WIS.) There is a scene in the blockbuster movie “Jaws” in which an oceanographer angrily chastises the mayor of Amity for “ignoring this particular [shark] problem until it comes up and bites you in the [butt].”

Such is our reaction to yet another report about trying to prevent Asian carp from entering the Great Lakes. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has been working on its study since 2009 and issued its disappointing “findings” last week. The Corps, instead of offering a viable solution to a potentially destructive menace, issued a vanilla report that provides a

little something for everyone.

The Corps put forth eight options for preventing the huge carp and other invasive species from slipping between the Great Lakes and Mississippi River watersheds.

The choices range from doing nothing new to an estimated $18 billion construction project to separate the two systems.

Everyone, including government leaders, scientists and environmentalists, agree swift action is needed to prevent the voracious bighead and silver carp from entering the Great Lakes and damaging the ecosystem and the $7 billion fishing industry. That is where agreement ends, however, and the Corps report is so

open-ended that it likely will add to the gridlock among competing interests. It would take a long time – estimates range from 10 to 25 years – to erect barriers to separate the two water systems. We continue to believe that is the most viable long-range solution.

The Corps should realize time is not on anyone’s side in this debacle. It should have recommended a specific course of action rather than issue a one-size-fits-all rehash of previous reports.

The focus now likely will shift to Congress, so we won’t hold our breath.

We don’t foresee that changing in a debate that will pit environmental, shipping and other interests against one another.

PLAINFIELD CENTRAL 42, MINOOKA 25

Plainfield C. celebrates with win over Minooka

By DICK GOSS dgoss@shawmedia.com The Plainfield Central wrestling team took its lumps earlier this season at the Dvorak and Cheesehead tournaments.

Now the dividends are beginning to show.

The Wildcats won the first five matches to grab a 21-0 lead and coasted to a 42-25 senior-night victory Thursday over Southwest Prairie Conference rival Minooka.

Dylan Cramer (120 pounds) got things rolling with a technical fall and Jared Ellingwood (126), Nick Nasenbeny (132), Clayton Ledbetter (138) and Jordan Dinoffria (145) also won before returning state placer Carson Oughton (152) got Minooka on the board with a major decision.

“From the get-go, they were in control,” Minooka coach Jeff Jeff Charlebois said. “You spot them a 20-point lead, it sets the tempo for them. Our guys start thinking it’s going the wrong way and it affects them.

“Each kid has one responsibility, that’s to wrestle their six minutes.

But the fact of the matter is, when the team is down, that plays on their minds.”

Nasenbeny, who improved to 16-2, said there was no way he would lose on senior night.

“It’s always a rivalry between the two top teams in the conference when we wrestle them,” he said.

Lathan Goumas – lathangoumas@shawmedia.com

Plainfield Central’s Anthony Pesavento (right) wrestles Minooka’s Erik Velazquez during the 220-pound match Thursday at Plainfield Central High School. Plainfield Central won, 42-25.

“When you’re trying to beat the best, it sets a different tone. We pushed the pace tonight, but we still have a lot to improve on.”

Central coach Jim Kappas said toughness is a key.

“We have been lacking some toughness,” he said.

“At tournaments like the Dvorak and Cheesehead, your mistakes are glaring.

We had kids who went out and won today that lost five matches in a row in

those tournaments.

“That’s when the little things really show up.

It’s easy to be average or good, but it takes more to be great.”

After Oughton’s win, Roger Thigpen (160) won

for Central by fall. Minooka’s Chris Hiscock (170) rallied from a 5-1 deficit to beat Akwasi Aikins, 6-5, in the meet’s closest match.

The Indians’ Josh Bouie (182) won by fall, and two matches later, team-

mate Erik Velazquez did likewise to get Minooka within 32-19. But Central’s Andrew McAllister (285) won by fall to sew it up.

Central’s other winners were Dominic Sterr (195) and Cody England (106). KJ Minor (113) won for Minooka.

“We knew this rivalry and we wanted to win every match,” said Sterr, who improved to 26-5. “As a team, we need to finish.

We should have gotten more bonus points. We could have done better.

“But its nice to win on senior night. I’m happy I’m a senior and moving on to the next level, but I also wish I could start all over. I’ll miss all these guys.”

A season of struggles continued for Minooka,which has reached the Elite Eight five consecutive seasons. Some problems are injury related, some not.

“When you’re not consistently working hard, it shows in competition,” Charlebois said. “It has shown throughout the season.

“We keep talking about it. But we’re not improving our cardio and our techniques at practice. A couple of spots have injuries, but that’s not the story. Our other 12 spots aren’t making it happen.”

Is there a fix on the horizon as the postseason nears?

“It’s not some insurmountable hill,” Charlebois said. “But it’s going to take discipline.”

“It’s always a rivalry between the two top teams in the conference when we wrestle them. When you’re trying to beat the best, it sets a different tone. We pushed the pace tonight, but we still have a lot to improve on.”

USF falls short in upset bid Bolingbrook girls escape STAFF REPORTS The University of St. Francis men’s basketball team was on the verge of scoring a huge upset Wednesday night in Milwaukee, but No. 2-ranked Cardinal Stritch had other ideas.

The defending NAIA Division II national champion Wolves rallied from a 16-point second-half deficit and beat the Saints, 84-78, in overtime in Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference play.

USF (7-10, 4-3) forced 14 turnovers and held the Wolves (16-3, 8-0) to 30-percent shooting in the first half to lead 32-19 at the break.

Sophomore Mack Brown (Plainfield East) led the Saints offensively in the first half with eight points.

Sophomore Ed Presniakovas (Plainfield South) made a 3-pointer in the opening minute of the second half to make it 35-19.

Cardinal Stritch battled back and took a small lead on a couple of occasions, but St. Francis freshman Jo Jo Ballestero’s three-pointer with 43 seconds left in regulation tied it and forced overtime.

The Saints scored first in the extra session before the Wolves took over.

Chris Miller and Mark Peters scored 14 points each and Presniakovas 13 for USF. Joliet Junior College 80, Triton 76: Leon Gray scored 26 points and grabbed seven rebounds, Larry Moore and Zoran

BOLINGBROOK – The Bolingbrook girls basketball team came out flat Thursday and had to play catch-up the entire evening against a gritty Lockport team.

Two days after a lopsided loss at the hands of highly-touted Homewood-Flossmoor, the Raiders narrowly escaped the Porters’ upset bid, coming from behind late in the game to win, 46-44, on their home court.

Bolingbrook (10-4, 5-1) coach Chris Smith conceded that the team’s energy level and focus were nowhere to be found, acknowledging that Tuesday’s loss to former coach Tony Smith – who left for H-F this summer after 12 seasons at Bolingbrook – weighed heavy on the Raiders.

“We came out flat,” Chris Smith said. “We put a lot of energy into the game against Homewood-Flossmoor, and I’m not sure that we are mentally past that yet. The girls put their heart and soul into that game, but we need to find a way to move on and get it out of our system.”

Chris Smith added that, because of the Bolingbrook gym’s scheduling constraints, the Raiders did not practice between games.

He speculated a hard practice might be what the girls need in order to move on.

“We will get back to our normal routine and work on our deficiencies,” Chris Smith said. “Even though

it wasn’t pretty, I was happy the girls were able to rally in the fourth quarter and leave here with a victory.”

Trailing from the opening tip to the waning minutes of the fourth quarter, Raiders senior guard Aysia Bugg banked in a fadeaway layup to give BolingAysia Bugg brook it’s first lead, a 44-42 advantage with more than a minute left in the game.

On the ensuing Lockport possession, Kianna Campbell was fouled while driving to the basket, sending her to the free-throw line. The sophomore guard hit one of two free throws to cut the Raiders lead to one.

After a quick foul, Bolingbrook’s Ryaen Johnson promptly hit two foul shots to push the lead back to three.

A 6-foot-2 senior forward, Johnson finished with 11 points and six rebounds, garnering high praise from her coach after the game.

“She has an excellent

shooting touch for a low post player,” Chris Smith said. “Ryaen made 4-of-5 free throws tonight and none were bigger than the final pair she made to clinch the game. I was very impressed with her overall game tonight.”

However, even with a three-point lead and possession of the ball after a Lockport turnover, two mental blunders gave the Porters a fighting chance.

With 10 seconds remaining, Bolingbrook forward Amina Green accidentally stepped on the baseline while inbounding the ball under her own basket, giving the Porters one last shot to send the game into overtime.

On the successive play, Bolingbrook’s Ashley Drain fouled Jamari McAfee as she attempted a desperation three with one second left.

But McAfee could not connect on her first two free throw attempts, sealing the victory for Bolingbrook.

Bugg finished with nine points while Cierra Stanciel scored eight points for Bolingbrook.

McAfee led Lockport with 11 points and Destiny Hollins recorded 10 points.

Jordan fits with Illini AUTO MART

Plainfield East junior commits to Groce’s program Aaron Jordan plans to be in the crowd Saturday night at the State Farm Center when Illinois basketball entertains powerful Michigan State in yet another Big Ten brawl.

A couple years down the road, he will be there for a game of that ilk once again. In fact, he will be wearing an Illini uniform.

The Plainfield East junior guard committed to the Illini earlier this month, choosing coach John Groce’s team over Wisconsin, Indiana, Northwestern, Purdue, Butler, Xavier and Creighton.

Aaron “I committed the Jordan day I was there for the Penn State game (Jan. 4),” Jordan said. “I actually had made up my mind a little while before that. I’ll probably sign on the signing day in November.

“It’s a big load off my shoulders to have the recruiting over with.”

Jordan has the athleticism that comes with being a top-rated recruit. He has had the longtime dream to play Division I ball, which he said was solidified when he switched his AAU team to the Illinois Stars last spring.

What sets him apart from many, however, is his shooting ability.

Basketball gurus will tell you the difference in the game these days is few kids can shoot. The 6-foot-4½

VIEWS Dick Goss Jordan is one who can.

He entered this week averaging 21 points and 4.5 rebounds for East (8-6). He was shooting 48 percent from 3-point range and 82 percent from the free-throw line. Those numbers come in the face of defensive pressure.

“There has been a little extra emphasis on me,” Jordan said of the defensive attention he commands.

“But I know if I play within myself and within the game, I’ll have my chances to get open and get shots.”

Jordan said he likes everything about Illinois, the fans, coaching staff, current players and style of play. Groce saw him play at the St. Charles East Thanksgiving Tournament.

“Illinois will be a good fit for Aaron,” East coach Branden Adkins said. “He likes the style they run, up and down the floor, and the pressure defense they play. Right now, they see him as a shooting guard, but he is capable of running the point if need be.”

Several Joliet area players are enjoying success on the Division I level.

No reason Jordan should not as well.

Derrick Marks (Plainfield Central) is a star at Boise State.

Karington Ward (Lockport) is having an excellent season at Eastern Michigan. Likewise, Ward’s high school teammate, Richaun Holmes, at Bowling Green.

Brian Bennett (Plainfield East) in a key component at Cal Poly-San Luis Obispo. Ben Moore (Bolingbrook) has been a contributor for SMU and coach Larry Brown.

Remy Roberts-Burnett (Joliet West) is running the show from the point at Western Illinois.

Jordan’s game suggests he is ready for the next level. Not bad for a former soccer player.

“I loved playing soccer,” he said.

“Sometimes I regret not playing it here (at East). I noticed the difference on the basketball court after I quit. But I have been feeling healthy. My diet definitely has changed.”

To complete his profile, Jordan continues to star in the classroom – he anticipates majoring in business or marketing at Illinois – and remains humble.

“He’s been very humbled about the whole recruiting process,” Adkins said.

For now, it’s all about helping get the Bengals on a run.

“We’re not happy with our record,” Jordan said. “But we’re still a strong team. When we start winning, we won’t be stopped.”

BLACKHAWKS

Shaw looks comfortable on second line

By MARK LAZERUS mlazerus@suntimes.com Andrew Shaw’s story, told and retold countless times during his dizzying rise from afterthought to NHL stalwart, is all about persistence and peskiness in the face of doubters and opponents alike.

Twice passed over in the NHL draft, too small to make an impact, too tough a lineup to crack – none of it stopped Shaw from becoming a 22-yearold with a $4 million contract and his name on the Stanley Cup, a streak of blood forever oozing out

of his obliterated right cheek in Blackhawks lore.

So who’s going to tell him he can’t become a top-six forward on the most offensiveAndrew Shaw l y g i f t e d team in the league, a guy who could be the answer Patrick Kane and Joel Quenneville have been looking for at second-line center?

Actually, for the Hawks’ sake, maybe somebody should tell him

Next for the Hawks Anaheim at Hawks, 7 p.m. Friday, CSN+, AM-720 that.

“I’ve always hated being told what to do,” Shaw said. “So I kind of just try to make my way by proving people wrong.”

Two games into Quenneville’s latest second-line experiment, Shaw is looking quite comfortable between

Kane and Brandon Saad.

After posting one goal and no assists in his previous 13 games as the third line foundered, Shaw has a goal in each game, plus an assist.

Shaw is known more for his scrappy play and antagonistic style, but with 13 goals, 11 assists and a permanent home on the Hawks’ top power play unit, he’s proving offensive in more ways than one.

“I think a lot of guys get stereotyped,” Saad said “Regardless of thinking he’s … a grinder, whatever you want to call

him, he definitely has some skill.”

That said, with Kane on his right wing and Saad on his left, it’s not Shaw’s job to score goals.

His job is to do the dirty work in the corners to fetch them the puck, to crash the net and clean up their rebounds, and to focus on defense so they don’t have to.

His job isn’t to score points, it’s to allow Kane and Saad to score points.

Whatever he gets is a bonus.

“It kind of jells well,” Saad said. “Even though he’s not the typical play-

making center, he still can make plays. And playing with playmakers like Kane, it helps both of us with him working hard and going to the net.”

It’s a big chance for an unlikely star. But while Shaw even admits to surprising himself sometimes with how far he’s come, his never-ending quest to prove himself has made him greedy – in the best possible way.

“I’ve always impressed myself, I’ve always exceeded my goals,” he said.

“I just keep moving forward and keep wanting more and more.”

BULLS

Bulls find new minutes warrior in Butler after trade Next for the Bulls

By JOE COWLEY jcowley@suntimes.com WASHINGTON – No word on whether Jimmy Butler drove the team bus to the airport Wednesday night and then flew the charter from Orlando to Washington D.C., but it wouldn’t come as a surprise.

After all, the third-year player set a franchise record in the triple-overtime win over the Magic, playing 60 minutes.

“I’m sure I’m going to hear about it,” coach Tom Thibodeau joked afterward.

If there’s one aspect of Thibodeau’s coaching that is often under the microscope, it’s the heavy minutes he’s put on certain players since taking over before the 2010-11 season.

That was evident during the 2011-12 season when former Bulls

Bulls at Washington, 6 p.m.

Friday, CSN, AM-1000

The Bulls’ Kirk Hinrich (12) drives around Orlando Magic’s Andrew Nicholson for a basket Wednesday during the first half of a game in Orlando, Fla. forward Luol Deng led the league in minutes played with 39.4. Deng was again atop that category last season at 38.7, and Joakim Noah was right there through the first two months of last season un-

til plantar fasciitis limited him in the second half.

With Deng traded to Cleveland almost two weeks ago, Butler seems to have been anointed the new minutes warrior, but the coach had actual-

ly been a bit softer with handing out the minutes this season, with Deng 13th in the league at 36.4 minutes a game.

Even with the heavy workload Wednesday, Butler was averaging 34.2 minutes a game, so the Magic game was more aberration than anything else. And Butler’s teammates appreciated every second he played.

“I feel like we should definitely bake Jimmy a cake for playing 60 minutes,” Noah said. “I’m really happy for him that he made a franchise record.

No, seriously, though,

there’s nothing better than that feeling of getting on the bus and you’ve won. Even guys who say, ‘Oh, I don’t care.’ But [Orlando players are] driving home [after the game] and they’re [upset]. There’s no better feeling than winning a basketball game.

It’s the best.”

And while Butler’s performance was inspiring, almost lost in the win was what Noah did, and what he’s done since Deng was traded. The All-Star center played 49 minutes in the Magic win, scoring 26 points, grabbing 19 rebounds and dishing out six assists.

In his past five games, Noah was averaging 15 points, 15 rebounds, 5.2 assists and 1.8 blocks, while playing 38.2 minutes a game.

“There are not many players like him,” Thibodeau said of Noah. “His

all-around defense, every aspect from the rebounding effort to seeing things early, seeing how they’re developing. But probably the most important thing is to make two, three and four efforts on the same play. Often times, I don’t know how he gets to the ball, but he gets to the ball.

That helps unite and inspire your team.

“The thing right now about his offense that has made him so good is he’s making quick decisions and they’re right on the money. No holding the ball, just a quick decision, and I think that’s helping the team a lot.

“He has a great will to win. No matter what’s going on in the game. Even when things aren’t going his way, when the game is on the line he is going to find a way to make something happen. That’s important.”

NORTHERN ILLINOIS FOOTBALL

QB Lynch earns combine invite

By SHAW MEDIA Northern Illinois quarterback Jordan Lynch has been invited to the NFL combine, according to Huskiewire. com.

Between 15 and 25 q u a r t e r - Jordan Lynch backs are typically invited to the combine, according to numbers on NFLCombine.net.

Sixteen were invited in 2014.

The combine runs from Feb. 22 through 25 in Indianapolis and will be aired on the NFL Network. Quarterbacks are scheduled to work out on Feb. 23.

Lynch is working out for Saturday’s East-West Shrine Game in St. Petersburg, Fla., which will air at 3 p.m. on the NFL Network. Lynch told Huskiewire that he has worked exclusively as a quarterback during practices there.

Cubs still in Tanaka hunt

By GORDON WITTENMYER gwittenmyer@suntimes.com CHICAGO – The biggest name at the Cubs Convention this weekend promises to be the one belonging to the guy who won’t be there – the player who might otherwise provide a major boost of faith in the C u b s ’ r e - Masahiro build.

Tanaka The player who this month has become the latest litmus test of the Ricketts family’s fortitude as big-market, bigleague owners.

When new Cubs manager Rick Renteria talked Thursday about the sales pitch the Cubs made to Japanese free-agent Masahiro Tanaka last week, it stirred visions of a 25-yearold pitching savior leading the Cubs’ rotation into multiple Octobers.

In fact, breathless national reports via Twitter and blogs Thursday overshot the Cubs’ likelihood of hanging with the big-spending favorites in New York and Los Angeles in the process.

The Cubs, meanwhile, have set aside a sizeable chunk of their middle-ofthe-pack payroll budget to stay in the Tanaka hunt, sacrificing possible acquisitions early in the offseason to have the wherewithal to make a serious run.

The new $20 million posting ceiling for Japanese players is one of the reasons the Cubs even have a chance, with the ability to postpone payment of up to $6.6 million of it into next year’s budget.

All that effort and maneuverability by the Cubs’ baseball ops still isn’t expected to be enough to convince a 24-0 pitcher to join a last-place team that likely isn’t the highest bidder.

HELLO, SALLY

Struthers to star in ‘Hello, Dolly!’ at Rialto Square Theatre

By ERIC SCHELKOPF eschelkopf@shawmedia.com

est known for her role as Gloria Stivic on the ’70s television show, “All in the Family,” Sally Struthers these days is starring in a national tour of the musical “Hello, Dolly!”

Struthers, who plays the lead role of Dolly Levi, and the rest of the “Hello, Dolly!” cast will arrive Thursday at the Rialto Square Theatre in Joliet.

Shaw Media had the chance to talk to Struthers about the upcoming show.

B

What have you enjoyed about playing the role of Dolly Levi?

Once you get to a certain age, the world would tell most women that they are washed up in show business. You are not considered a leading lady anymore when you’re over 40, and you should probably, by the time you are 50, hang up your spurs.

So, to be in your mid-60s and get to play the leading role in an iconic American classic musical is a chance of a lifetime. How often does an older woman get to play the leading role, and wear these beautiful costumes and say these fantastic lines and sing these wonderful songs?

It’s a joy.

I understand this is the first national tour of “Hello, Dolly!” since Carol Channing did it and that Jerry Herman – who wrote the lyrics and music to “Hello, Dolly” – gave you his blessing to go out and do it.

If you go n What: “Hello, Dolly!” n When: 7:30 p.m. Thursday n Where: Rialto Square Theatre, 102 N. Chicago

St., Joliet

n Information: 815-726-6600 or visit

I know Jerry. He saw me do the role of Agnes Gooch in the musical “Mame,” and we became friends at that time.

He finds me very funny, and he said, “Yeah, Sally can take it out. I think she’s great.”

So that was pretty cool. I mean, how many people in their lifetime can say, “Jerry Herman gave me the nod.” I mean, that’s really cool.

Of course, Barbra Streisand played Dolly in the film version of the musical.

She couldn’t have been more wrong for that role. Dolly is supposed to be a woman of a certain age.

She was married happily for many years to a man named Ephraim Levi.

Ephraim passed away, and now she’s been for years a widow, struggling to make a living, doing all sorts of odd jobs.

So, for a 24-year-old person in a movie to say that they’re Dolly “Gallagher” (meaning she’s Irish) Levi, and that she’s been a widow for years and that she’s struggling, that’s a joke.

That’s just Hollywood casting.

But I guess people remember actresses like

Sally Struthers stars in “Hello, Dolly!” 7:30 p.m. Thursday at the Rialto Square Theatre.

Carol Channing and Barbra Streisand in the role. Did that put any pressure on you?

Oh, no. I don’t feel pressure, ever.

If there is one thing I feel certain about, it is the gift that God gave me, which I have honed over years and years of working.

I may be insecure about a lot of things in my life, but not about my talents. I’ve never had an insecure moment about that. It’s nice to feel that way, because then you don’t have stage fright. You just have the itch to get out there.

You won two Emmy awards for your work on the TV show, “All in the Family.” What did you like about doing that show?

I learned a lot by working with some of the best actors in the business, and the best writers.

It was like a college for me, a college of theatre, a college of acting, a college of comedy. It was just perfect.

It was a great launch. It was a wonderful launch, to be on a family show and come into everyone’s living room.

Patriot games get reboot in ‘Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit’

By JAKE COYLE The Associated Press

H

aving clung to the Russians as go-to villains long after the Cold War thawed, the movies find themselves current again with their favorite arch-enemy.

Cooling Russo-American relations have yielded an opening for the return of Tom Clancy’s CIA analyst, just in time for the Sochi Olympics.

In the Jack Ryan reboot, “Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit,” Chris Pine takes over as the spy who was played by Alec Baldwin (“The Hunt for Red October”), Harrison Ford (“Patriot Games,” “Clear and Present Danger”) and Ben Affleck (“The Sum of All Fears”).

It’s a decent legacy of a dark-haired, intellectual action hero. Ryan is a navigator of murky, reasonably realistic, international espionage worlds.

He has neither James Bond’s preternatural suavity nor Jason Bourne’s visceral butt-kicking skills, but instead anxiously finds his way with

“Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit” STARRING: Chris Pine, Kevin Costner and Keira Knightley PLOT: Jack Ryan, as a young covert CIA analyst, uncovers a Russian plot to crash the U.S. economy with a terrorist attack.

RATED: PG-13 for sequences of violence and intense action and brief language TIME: 1 hour, 45 minutes patriotic cunning.

“Shadow Recruit,” which was scripted without a Clancy book by Adam Cozad and David Koepp, tells a new backstory for Ryan. Inspired

by Sept. 11, he joins the Marines and is heroically injured in Afghanistan.

During his recovery, he meets his eventual fiancee (a doctor named Cathy played by Keira Knightley) and is lured to the CIA by a mysterious recruiter (Kevin Costner, unconvincingly trying to exude a Donald Sutherland-like gravitas).

He’s covertly embedded at a Wall Street bank,

• STRUTHERS Continued from page 29 I started to feel like I was a part of their family. And that’s the way people greet me on the street. And what’s better than that? Everybody hugs me.

What did you try to bring to the role of Gloria?

My comic ability. I always wanted to hit it out of the park when I had a line.

Of course, Rob Reiner played your husband, Michael “Meathead” Stivic, in “All in the Family.” What if he called you tomorrow and said he wanted to do something with you again?

I’d probably be struck dead or dumb, because Rob Reiner obviously doesn’t want to have anything to do with me.

Chris Pine stars in “Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit.” where he uncovers a Russian plot to buy up U.S. Treasury bonds, which he suspects will be sold off in a coordinated act of terrorism and currency devaluation.

Surely, if Ronald Reagan (whose endorsement of Clancy’s first novel, “The Hunt for Red October,” propelled his fame) was still around, he’d swoon over a spy thriller based on the harrowing threat of inflation.

being called “Meathead.” And I think if he gave me any sort of a job, the press would go for the obvious headline, which is “ ‘Meathead’ gives Gloria job.”

And he doesn’t want that, so I’m never going to get a call from Rob Reiner.

As far as the role of Dolly, what are you trying to do with that role? What are you looking to bring to that role that maybe other people haven’t brought to it?

I’m not really looking to bring anything other than the way I can play it.

But what I hope is that people fall in love with the theater all over again if they hadn’t been to the theater in a while.

And if they are avid theater-goers, I want them to say, wow, I saw Carol Channing do it, I saw Pearl Bailey do it, I saw Betty Grable do it, and Sally Struthers is just as good.

Who would have thunk?

Ryan’s investigation leads him to the Russian oligarch Viktor Cherevin, played by Kenneth Branagh, who also directed the film. Certainly, it takes a bite out of the nationalistic politics when the movie’s villain is played by a knighted British actor known for his Shakespeare work.

Branagh endows his film with (mostly) old-fashioned competency – something often lacking in today’s action films – but little to distinguish it from superior thrillers that have come before.

The best thing here is the sleekness of modern Moscow, where much of the action takes place.

The film is filled with a nighttime mix of neon and taillights set against the Kremlin and other

monuments – a handsome enough rendering to send a viewer back to the recent Bond, “Skyfall,” for those elegant Shanghai scenes.

But “Shadow Recruit” also is disappointingly formulaic, relying on the familiar set piece-driven story of an implausible heist and a time-bomb finale. Knightley is too strong a force for this girlfriend role. And when the global scheme is figured out in a minute with a bank of computer-searching analysts, one foresees the obsolescence of the action film: sprawling plots undone with a few keystrokes.

“Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit” is perhaps most significantly a test for Pine as a movie star.

Early in the film, when

Ryan is forced to defend his life in a hotel room battle, he ably depicts the shock and horror of a man encountering such a circumstance for the first time.

But Pine also fails to make his Jack Ryan more than an afterthought to Baldwin’s know-it-all or Ford’s reluctant hero. As Costner’s character says, he too much resembles “a Boy Scout on a field trip.”

One unlikely cameo should be noted: New York’s famed repertory art-house theater, the Film Forum, appears early in the movie when Ryan swaps information at a screening of “Sorry, Wrong Number.” At least in “Shadow Recruit,” the interior has finally been upgraded to plush stadium seating.

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

A deal to declare

CELEBRITY CIPHER

In golf, there is usually more than one way to hit a shot to the green – assuming, of course, you are skillful enough to do that.

In bridge, many deals give only one side a chance to do something meritorious: declarer or the defense. But sometimes both sides will have an opportunity, although one side might require the other to err. That applies in this deal.

Would you prefer to declare or defend in three no-trump after West leads a diamond to dummy’s bare ace?

If you like to declare, look at only the North-South hands and plan the play.

Alternatively, cover the West and South hands. At trick two, declarer leads the club king from the board. How would you, East, defend?

South starts with only six top tricks: two spades, one heart and three diamonds. The other tricks must come from clubs, but dummy is short of entries.

South should be happy to lose two club tricks and to do it as quickly as possible. So, at trick two, he leads a low club from the board. After that, everything is under control. If the defenders must get two tricks in a suit you wish to establish, make them take those tricks as quickly as possible.

If South makes the mistake of starting with a club honor at trick two, East can defeat the contract by ducking, letting declarer take the trick. Then South lacks the dummy entries to establish and run the suit.

Kids skip dad’s funeral but still claim his things Dear Abby: When my husband died, he didn’t have a lot of possessions. He died without a will, so what little he had is now with me.

My problem is my mother-in-law keeps asking that I return things she gave him.

I wouldn’t mind if she has them, but she has been giving them to his children, who hated him and were rude and disrespectful. They neither called nor came to see him during his long illness. They didn’t even bother to come to his funeral.

I feel they want his things only because they think they might be of some value, not out of any respect or affection. My kids showed him more respect and love than his own did, and I’d rather they have his things.

Should I be honest and tell my mother-in-law why I won’t give her any more of his possessions? I just don’t know what to do. – Oklahoma Widow Dear Widow: It’s sad that your stepchildren ignored their father during his illness and chose to skip

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips his funeral. Be sure to point that out when you tell your former motherin-law you have other plans for the items. She may not like hearing it, but once a gift is given, it belongs to the recipient. And because her son died without a will, the recipient is you, his widow.

Dear Abby: I recently started a new job. One of the management individuals has taken a strong interest in me. He keeps doing favors for me that benefit me financially and I appreciate it. (I have never asked him to do this.)

I have always been courteous and took his gestures as a sign of kindness. But now he has started complimenting me and talking about things that go way beyond conversation. It’s making me uncomfortable.

We have gone out on two friendly

lunches before, and he is a genuine, kind, educated, wonderful man. He would be a great catch, but the problem is he is extremely overweight.

I am emotionally attracted to him, but physically repelled. I can’t wait years for him to lose the weight, but he is taking my kindness as a possible show of interest. Have you any advice that could help end his attraction, but continue the business advice he provides for me? – In A Spot In Tampa Dear In A Spot: When the man compliments you about anything that isn’t work-connected, tell him that when he does it, it makes you uncomfortable.

And when he raises topics that aren’t business-related, steer the conversation right back where it belongs. He may be a kind, genuine, educated, wonderful person, but if he persists, it could be considered harassment.

Vitamins, diet may help slow macular degeneration Dear Doctor K: My ophthalmologist has told me I have “dry” AMD. What is this? What can I expect going forward?

Dear Reader: Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) affects the macula, the small part of the retina responsible for sharp, central vision.

The retina is the back part of the eye.

As light enters your eye, the lens of your eye focuses the light on the retina. The retina then sends signals to the back of your brain. It’s there that your brain translates those signals into vision – the image of the things you are looking at. People with AMD often develop blurred or distorted vision. They cannot clearly see objects directly in front of them. Eventually they may develop a blind spot in the middle of their field of vision. In the earliest stages of AMD there often are no warning symptoms. (That’s one reason regular eye exams are important.) If the condition progresses to intermediate AMD, you may begin to notice blurring in the center of your vision. At the advanced stage, the blurred area increases, making it hard to read or even recognize people.

AMD rarely occurs before the

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff age of 55. It then becomes more likely as you get older. One study found it in more than 10 percent of people older than 84. AMD occurs in two main forms: dry and wet. You mentioned you have the dry form -- as do the vast majority of people with AMD. Some cases of dry AMD progress to the more serious wet form of the disease.

Wet AMD can cause sudden vision loss. The less-common AMD is called “wet” because the blood vessels in or underneath the retina start to leak fluid, which causes further damage to the retina. Currently, the only treatment for dry AMD is vitamin supplementation combined with a well-balanced diet that includes dark green leafy vegetables and several servings of fish per week. Research shows that high doses of antioxidant vitamins and minerals can slow (and sometimes prevent) progression from intermediate to advanced AMD. You should also monitor your con-

dition by regularly testing yourself at home with an Amsler grid test. You focus your eyes on a central dot on a grid. (The lines near the dot may appear wavy or be missing because of your AMD.) Routinely test each eye and contact your doctor if you notice any changes.

Quitting smoking and wearing hats and sunglasses to block the sun’s blue wavelengths – which may promote AMD – may help reduce the severity of the disease.

If you have already lost some vision to AMD, low-vision aids can help.

Examples include magnifying glasses, text-to-speech conversion software for your computer, audiobooks, and “talking” watches or alarm clocks.

A patient of mine who was an avid reader developed AMD in her early 70s. Unfortunately, reading became very difficult. For her, audiobooks and text-to-speech conversion of newspaper articles she accessed from electronic Internet subscriptions made a huge difference in her life.

Teen unaware if boyfriend’s peyote-smoking habit is bad Dr. Wallace: I’m 19, and my boyfriend is 21. He is a great guy, and I care for him very much. He was born in Mexico, but is now an American citizen.

My parents were born in Spain, but I was born in Ft. Collins, Colo. My boyfriend and I have traveled to Mexico twice, and we stayed with his parents in the state of Jalisco. I enjoy being there. It helps that I can speak Spanish fluently.

His family is very nice, and I love Mexican food.

When my boyfriend and I have gone out with some of his friends, they all end up smoking something called Peyote. Of course, I did not smoke it. I asked my boyfriend what the contents were and if it was a drug. He told me that it came from tree bark and that it gave the smoker a mellow feeling, but that it is not a drug. Will you please enlighten me about Peyote? After smoking it, my boyfriend seemed to be “spaced out.” – Nameless, Colorado Springs, Colo.

Dear Nameless: Peyote is considered an illegal drug and comes from the peyote cactus, which grows in the Southwest U.S. and Mexico. Certain Native American tribes have been using peyote in religious ceremonies for centuries.

Several years ago, the U.S. government gave the OK for peyote use in the religious services by members of Native American tribes who live in the U.S. Peyote is not permitted to be used by any other U.S. citizen. Peyote can be smoked, or chewed and swallowed. Its prime purpose is to cause the user to hallucinate. The major dangers of this drug are psychosis, psychological dependence, paranoia and

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace the instigation of irrational, potentially hazardous behavior.

Dr. Wallace: Why are television executives putting out tons of programs aimed at teens? – Michael, Talladega, Ala. Dear Michael: Teens might not have ready cash, but often they have a tremendous influence on how the family budget is disbursed. Manufacturers and television executives both are aware of this teen power.

Dr. Wallace: I’m 14 and considered to be a very mature and considerate young lady. My mother’s friend asked if I’d like to have a part-time job babysitting for her two children, ages 2 and 3. I told her yes, and then she told me to complete a Red Cross life-saving course and I would be hired. None of my friends who babysit have ever heard of a life-saving course. What is it? – Nameless, Elizabethtown, Ky. Dear Nameless: I contacted a Red Cross office, and was informed that almost all Red Cross offices offer a course in babysitting that would prepare teens to take superb care of young children. This course is a must for all would-be babysitters. Stop by your local Red Cross office for more information about the course, which includes life-saving techniques.

Maybe you can encourage your friends to join you in this excellent program.

HOROSCOPE

By BERNICE BEDE OSOL Newspaper Enterprise Association TODAY – Play to win this year. Don’t show emotion or consternation. Make your choice and stick to your plan. Avoid excess as well as people who are too demanding or entitled. Stay close to those who share your concerns, interests and beliefs. Invest in yourself and your talents.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Keep a close watch on your situation today. Not everyone will play by the same rules. There is a good reason for your uncertainty -- tread carefully. A last-minute change must not be allowed to ruin your plans.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – You will not see your situation clearly. Don’t be fooled by compliments or someone using gestures of friendliness to ferret out personal information. Protect your reputation and your secrets.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Accept the inevitable, but don’t initiate change. Keep your eyes wide open and listen for any changes that might affect your status or your position. Help your peers and form beneficial alliances.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Broach personal subjects with caution. Showing compassion and understanding will help you ease into a situation that has the potential to turn emotional. Be willing to compromise.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – You may be forced to jump from one thing to another. Don’t dilly-dally or you will be criticized for being indecisive. Take action based on what works best for you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Stay out of emotional talks that you cannot win. Concentrate on learning about new people, places and pastimes. An interest in an unusual lifestyle will prompt domestic alterations.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Consider making a personal investment or improvement to your home and your surroundings. A change in the wsay you live will inspire you to alter your vocational direction as well.

Oscar snubs: ‘Davis,’ Redford, Winfrey

By ANN HORNADAY The Washington Post When the 2014 Academy Awards nominees were announced early Thursday, all ears were attuned to the expected names. Jared Leto, Lupita Nyong’o, Cate Blanchett, Matthew McConaughey and Bruce Dern given nods in their respective categories? Check.

“Gravity,” “American Hustle” and “12 Years a Slave” dominating nominations for acting, writing, directing and best picture? No big surprises there, and all as it should be.

Then, you cry. No nomination for Robert Redford for his astonishing one-man show in the gripping seafaring thriller “All Is Lost”? Outrage! No Tom Hanks, who delivered such a subtle tour de force in “Captain Phillips”? The nerve! No Oprah Winfrey or Forest Whitaker for their superb performances in “Lee Daniels’ The Butler”?

Robbed, I tell you, robbed!

No love for “Inside Llewyn Davis,” other than deserved nods for sound mixing and cinematography? (The film’s brilliantly satiric ditty “Please Mr. Kennedy” should have been a shoo-in for best original song but was deemed not original enough due to its sly nods to previous ‘60s folk songs.) No “Stories We Tell” in the lineup for best documentary?

Oh, Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. You exist to make us crazy.

Granted, in a year as strong as 2013, there are bound to be heartbreaks once the winnowing process begins. But Thursday’s shutouts were notable, especially the near-complete zotzing of “Saving Mr. Banks,” a paean to Hollywood studio big-footing (er, collaboration)

Photo provided

Surprisingly, Robert Redford did not get an Academy Award nomination for his one-man show in the gripping seafaring thriller “All is Lost.” that only earned one nomination, for original score. Emma Thompson, who many predicted would be recognized for her tart portrayal of “Mary Poppins” author P.L. Travers, went un-lauded, her spot presumably on permanent hold for Meryl Streep.

Still, having nominated nine films for best picture, surely the Academy could have come up with a 10th in such a strong year. What a perfect way to honor “Fruitvale Station,” Ryan Coogler’s stunning debut featuring a quietly electrifying lead performance by Michael B. Jordan — or at least “Saving Mr. Banks,” “Blue Jasmine” or “Inside Llewyn Davis.”

The day’s biggest “Huh?” came when the nominees for best original song were announced. Exactly which left field did “Alone Yet Not Alone” come from, and how did it snag a coveted Oscar nomination?

After the kvelling and the crying, the questioning begins.

Oprah Winfrey and Forest Whitaker did not receive Academy Award nominations for their strong performances in “Lee Daniels’ The Butler.”
