vshanker@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – The Will County State’s Attorney’s office said Thursday it is reviewing documents related to the Plainfield Township Park District.

State’s attorney spokesman Charles Pelkie declined Thursday to discuss specifics about the documents or who requested the office to review them.

Park board Vice President Janet Silosky this week accused board President Peter Hurtado of being involved in a scheme to sell LED lights to the park district.

“We have been asked to review some documents of the park district,” Pelkie said. “We’ll review the documents and determine if any additional steps will be taken.”

Silosky made the allegations at a special board meeting Wednesday.

Silosky said she found out through Director of Communications Doug Booth that Hurtado told him to send payment for a shipment of LED lights to a company called

Silosky said she couldn’t verify that Solis was a legitimate vendor, but she noticed through Facebook that it was associated with the boyfriend of Hurtado’s daughter.

When Silosky approached Hurtado about the transaction, she said Hurtado admitted the lights were his.

She said she told Hurtado that if

he didn’t resign, she would. Hurtado then told her she could got to the state’s attorney if she wanted to, according to Silosky.

Hurtado denied the allegations, and told park district attorney David Miller that the serious allegations warranted an investigation.

Bolingbrook student with BB gun arrested

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com BOLINGBROOK – Police say a 14-year-old boy threatened a teacher with a BB gun Thursday morning at Bolingbrook High School.

Bolingbrook Police Lt. Mike Rompa said about 8:22 a.m. the student “confronted a teacher about a grade he received” then made the threats while inside a classroom.

Principal Michael White told the Chicago Tribune that the incident happened during a math class and the student asked the teacher for a grade change before pointing a BB gun at the teacher.

The Tribune reported the student believed the gun to be real.

After he fled the classroom, White told the Tribune he and other staff found the boy in a bathroom, holding the gun to his neck as if he was going to shoot himself. White told the Tribune he talked the student into putting down the gun. Police arrived and placed the school on a “hard lockdown.”

“Officers were able to determine the student acted alone,” Rompa said. “The school was then checked by police and the lockdown was lifted.”

In a posting on the Valley View School District website, Superinten-

dent James Mitchem said the incident lasted about six minutes, and no students or staff were harmed.

“We want to assure you that the safety of students and staff is our number one priority and every precaution was taken,” he said in the statement. “Additional supports will be provided for students and staff at Bolingbrook High School and at all other district schools as needed.”

Officers questioned the student at the police station before he was charged with felony disorderly conduct and aggravated assault. The boy was ordered held at the River Valley Juvenile Detention Center.

BIG YEAR FOR HABITAT FOR HUMANITY Will County group expects to provide homes for 10 families

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Will County Habitat for Humanity expects a record year helping low-income families move into homes of their own.

The nonprofit organization plans to provide homes for 10 families this year, which compares to two homes in 2013, Executive Director Annette Leck said. For 25 years, the organization has provided roughly 65 affordable homes for families in Joliet and Lockport.

“It’s going to be a record year for us,” Leck said of 2014.

Habitat for Humanity builds homes for families with good credit who earn 30 to 50 percent of median income.

That gets accomplished largely with the help of volunteer labor to build and renovate houses, and reduce the total cost of home ownership.

“The satisfaction for me is getting a family into a home who needs a home who can’t do it the normal way,” said Kirk Wilkins, project manager for Will County Habitat for Humanity.

Wilkins and a group of volunteers were working in the past several weeks on a house in Lockport that will become one of the 10 new homes for Habitat families.

The organization provides a zero-interest loan for a family to purchase the house, according to the organization’s website. Families receiving a home must commit to work a minimum of 350 hours of “sweat equity” to help build not only

their own home, but homes for other Habitat families.

“Any time we have a Habitat home, that is not a hand out, it is a hand up,” Leck said.

Under the criteria for applicants, first preference is given for families who live in the county and those who live in substandard conditions or have other special needs. Families must have a minimum household income to make monthly payments for the home, have good credit and not have been in bankruptcy in the past two years.

Living in these homes can be a self-esteem booster for people, Leck said. People who benefit from living in Habitat homes have higher rate of attending college and tend to take fewer sick days at work.

Joliet city officials have a long history of working with Habitat for Humanity, Neighborhood Services Director Alfredo Melesio said.

The city annually receives an allocation of federal grant money earmarked for community housing development organizations, and Habitat for Humanity has always helped city officials achieve good use of those funds, Melesio said. “[Habitat for Humanity] is family building but they’re also community building,” he said.

The Joliet City Council this month approved allocating $138,000 in federal grant money for the construction of a new home at 519 Summit St. Leck said the funds will be used to construct the infrastructure – such as the sidewalks and streetlights – and

the home itself. The two-story home will have three bedrooms, two bathrooms and an attached garage.

Construction for the Joliet home will begin in the first week of June and may finish within a year, Leck said. About 100 skilled and semi-skilled

volunteers will be on hand to put up the framing, walls and the roof.

She said the organization staff is looking for applicants to live in the home.

The home will be the one of the farthest west of the Des Plaines River in Joliet, said

Bob Stephen, Habitat for Humanity volunteer construction consultant.

Stephen, who has been active for years in Habitat for Humanity, called it “one of the finest systems that benefit the people who could never have a home any other way.”

ANY TIME WE HAVE A HABITAT HOME, THAT IS NOT A HAND OUT, IT IS A HAND UP.” Annette Leck, executive director of Will County Habitat for Humanity

Cellphone ban: A crackdown with discretion

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com

-

Drivers have had about a month’s time to get used to the state’s new handheld cellphone ban, but local law enforcement say they’ll continue using discretion about whether to ticket people.

Illinois joined 11 other states Jan. 1 in banning handheld cellphones for drivers. If caught, motorists could face a $75 fine, whereas repeat offenders could end up with a suspended license. Drivers

can talk and drive but only if they use a handsfree device, such as a speakerphone or headset with voice-activated or one-digit dialing.

“If I see a mom or dad driving, talking on their phone, and they say, ‘Oh, I forgot,’ we’ll give them some slack,” said Sgt. Steve Byland with Will County Sheriff’s traffic division. “But if we’ve got the same example, but they’re driving erratically and almost causing an accident, they might just have to get a ticket to

wake them up a little bit.”

Will County deputies have issued seven citations and three written warnings this month for people caught driving behind the wheel with a handheld cellphone.

In Joliet, police issued 47 citations for cellphone use during the month of January, compared to the 18 cellphone use citations issued in all of 2013, and 11 in 2012, Joliet Police Chief Brian Benton said Thursday.

That spike in tickets is because officers could pre-

“We’re going to give them the benefit of the doubt when they claim to not know about the change.”

Brian Benton Joliet police chief viously only ticket someone for using a cellphone while driving in a school or construction zone or if they were younger than the age of 19, Benton said.

The state had also al-

ready banned people from texting while driving.

Any type of cellphone use behind the wheel has been banned in Chicago since 2006.

Benton said even though 47 cellphone-use citations in one month is a notable increase from previous years, that’s not much in a city of 148,000.

There are about 150 uniformed officers throughout the department’s various units on any given shift, he said, which calculates to less than one ticket per officer

so far this year.

“We’re going to give them the benefit of the doubt when they claim to not know about the change,” Benton said.

Still, Benton said his officers do not take cellphone use behind the wheel lightly.

“It’s worth providing attention to right away,” he said. “Obviously, a lot of accidents can be directly attributed to cellphone usage or distracted driving. We’ve been pretty aggressive in getting that message out.”

Tests: Found skull belonged to a man Wadsworth family establishes endowment fund

JAHM receives major donation

By BRIAN STANLEY

THE HERALD NEWS JOLIET – The Joliet Area Historical Museum announced Thursday it has received a major donation to establish an endowment fund.

Brent Wadsworth, founder of Wadsworth Golf Construction Company in Plainfield, and his family contributed what the museum called “a generous amount” to the museum.

Museum Director Greg Peerbolte, in a written statement announcing the donation, said the establishment of an endowment fund “is a huge game-changer for our organization. It demonstrates a great show of support in our goal to expand long-term services to the community as we seek ad-

The Joliet Area Historical Museum announced Thursday it received a major donation to establish an endowment fund. ditional financial support from grant-making organizations and individual donors.”

One of the stipulations of the donation was that the endowment fund be named in honor of the museum’s

immediate past director, Tony Contos. The fund will be called the Anthony B. Contos Endowment Fund.

Peerbolte said the museum will soon be issuing a community challenge aimed at doubling the fund in the next year. The amount of the donation was not disclosed.

One immediate effect of the fund, the museum said in its announcement, is to solidify a new relationship with the Joliet American Legion Band. The band has found a new rehearsal spot in the museum’s Caterpillar Auditorium.

The museum has become the new home base for the band, and there are plans to hold an annual concert performance to generate proceeds for the endowment fund.

bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Some of the tests on a skull found near a Jackson Township creek last fall have been completed.

Will County Coroner Patrick K. O’Neil said Thursday forensic anthropologists have determined the skull belonged to a white man who was older than 30. He died at least a year before the skull was discovered.

On Oct. 10 a survey crew was under the bridge of Rowell Avenue about a half-mile south of Arsenal Road when they spotted the skull near the wa-

ter, according to the Will County Sheriff’s office.

Police and trained dogs searched the area for two days, but found no other remains.

No teeth were found, but the anthropologists told O’Neil an abscess near the mouth “suggests the possibility of oral infection.” It appears the man also had a healing fracture from a broken nose.

A portion of the skull was sent to the University of North Texas for DNA analysis, O’Neil said. If DNA is successfully recovered it will be put into a national database for missing persons.

Jury hears more details in road rage murder case

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The Lemont man facing a second-degree murder charge after a 2011 road rage incident in Romeoville first told police his wife was driving their vehicle.

The jury was not in the courtroom Thursday when Judge Sarah Jones had Assistant Will County State’s Attorney Peter Wilkes confirm Christopher Yeoman told investigators during all subsequent interviews that he was behind the wheel on 135th Street near Route 53 that afternoon.

About 4:30 p.m. June 2, Yeoman, his wife Amanda and their three children were heading west behind a red Solara driven by Frank Egas, then 63. After the adults got out of their cars to confront each other, witnesses said Christopher Yeoman punched Egas in the head, knocking him to the ground.

Prosecutors say the impact caused brain injuries that led to Egas’ death three months later. Jones and the lawyers clarified on the court record Thursday that Egas turned 64 before his death Sept. 29.

Romeoville traffic of-

ficer Ryan McClellan testified he arrived at the intersection to find Egas “hunched over” in his car before paramedics arrived.

After taking photos of Egas in the ambulance, McClellan was sent to Yeoman’s house after a witness provided a license plate that matched that address.

McClellan testified Amanda Yeoman answered the door and said she had dropped her husband off at his grandmother’s house a few blocks away. McClellan and a Lemont police officer went there to find Christopher Yeoman in the backyard, questioned him and

then took him into custody.

Jurors were removed after defense attorney Cliff Johnson asked McClellan under cross examination what Yeoman said during the backyard interview.

Wilkes objected on the grounds of hearsay since he had been “very careful” to avoid the context of the conversation, Jones agreed.

According to Johnson, McClellan’s report said Christopher Yeoman said Amanda was driving and honked the horn when Egas didn’t move after the light at New Avenue turned green and Egas responded by giving

them the middle finger.

Egas then drove in the middle of both lanes to keep the Yeomans’ van from passing him before they reached Route 53 and got out of their vehicles, Christopher Yeoman reportedly told McClellan. “[Egas] started to walk toward him and put his arms up like he would push him [so Yeoman] punched him one time,” Johnson said.

Dr. Jan Leetsma also testified Thursday as an expert witness. While listing credentials from his 49-year medical career, Leetsma acknowledged writing the

top-selling textbook on forensic neuropathology.

Leetsma said nothing he found examining Egas’ brain showed the two surgeries he underwent after striking his head on the ground played a role in his death and he died from complications of brain trauma. Johnson noted Egas’ condition worsened after he fell at a rehabilitation center in mid-June, but nursing reports say he landed on his backside and did not complain of any discomfort to the staff. Leetsma said nothing in that report changed his judgment of Egas’ injuries.

Wintry weather: Authorities advise staying off the roads Saturday

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com Another blast of hazardous wintry weather is likely this weekend.

The National Weather Service has issued a winter storm watch for Saturday in Will and Grundy counties, warning of wind gusts up to 40 miles per hour and several inches of snow. A hazardous weather outlook has been issued

through Wednesday.

Illinois State Police and the Will County Sheriff’s Office are urging motorists to determine if travel is necessary before driving on Saturday.

Will County Sheriff’s spokeswoman Kathy Hoffmeyer said motorists can expect decreased visibility because of hazardous road conditions and drifting snow.

“On Saturday with the

snow and freezing temperatures expected to return, we ask residents to stay home and off roadways,” Hoffmeyer said.

“If you have to drive, slow down and use caution.”

Grundy County Sheriff Kevin Callahan said as long as plows keep up with the snow, the roads should be clear.

“But if we get high winds, you should not travel if you don’t have

A news release from the state police reminded motorists to bring a charged cellphone, a phone charger, food, water, warm clothing and blankets in case they get stranded.

The high number of storms have forced municipalities to use more salt than usual this season, but alternative methods of snow and ice removal have helped conserve storage.

The active weather pat-

tern moving into the area won’t bring the record low temperatures from past storms, but it will still steadily drop snow in Joliet and surrounding towns, National Weather Service Meteorologist Stephen Rodriguez said.

“The snow from today will persist through tomorrow and continue into Friday evening,” Rodriguez said Thursday. “But Friday night or Saturday morning holds the poten-

Temperatures throughout the storm are expected to hover in the 20s and 30s. Rodriguez said the weather service is also keeping track of another storm that might immediately follow the current system early to mid-week, but said it was too early to tell if the storm will make a significant impact in the county.

Joliet-area unemployment rates still higher than county’s

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The Joliet area’s unemployment rate fell to 11 percent in December, down from 11.4 percent in December 2012 – but it remains higher than the Will County’s reported 8.4 percent unemployment rate, the Illinois Department of Employment Security reported Thursday.

Joliet’s jobless rate last month also remains higher than unemployment rates reported in surrounding cities and villages, including Bolingbrook, Romeoville and Lockport.

The jobless rates in Joliet, Bolingbrook, Romeoville and Lockport were down compared to December 2012’s reported unemployment rates, but remain higher than November’s reported averages, the state agency reported Thursday.

In comparing December 2013 to December 2012, Bolingbrook reported an unemployment rate of 7.7 percent, down from 8 percent; Romeoville at 7.9 percent, down from 8.5 percent; and Lockport at 8 percent, down from 8.5 percent.

Unemployment rates in December increased

By BRIAN STANLEY JOLIET – Police say security cameras showed a man trying to steal security cameras Sunday.

Surveillance footage also shows Joshua M. Pemble, 23, parked in a handicapped parking space while he was committing the theft, Joliet Police Capt. Tab Jensen said.

At 3:56 p.m. security employees called police to Walmart, 1401 Route

59, after watching Pemble put a security camera system into his cart, walk to another department and remove the electronic sensor tags, Jensen said.

“Pemble walked past the last point of purchase and exited the store. When security attempted to stop him, he left the cart and took off running,” Jensen said.

Joliet police found Pemble at a nearby strip mall in Shorewood and took him into custody.

“Officers reviewed the

security footage and saw Pemble park a blue 1993 Chevrolet Blazer in a handicapped spot without a placard in the vehicle,” Jensen noted.

Pemble, of the first block of North Davison Street, was booked into the county jail on charges of shoplifting, driving with a suspended license, operating an uninsured vehicle and unauthorized use of a handicapped parking space. He was released on a $25,000 bond the following day.

in almost all of the state’s dozen metro areas, with jobless rates falling only in the Chicago-Joliet-Naperville and Davenport-Moline-Rock Island areas.

IDES blamed a “temporary slowdown in global manufacturing demand” on the reported decreases.

Nationally, the unemployment rate was 6.5 percent in December and 10.6 percent in January 2010 at its peak, the department reported. The unemployment rate identifies those who are out of work and looking for work and are not tied to collecting insurance benefits.

Firm ready to present investigation findings Former housing authority official the subject of inquiry

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – An accounting firm has completed the first phase of an investigation of a former Joliet housing authority official’s activities and plans to present its findings to the housing authority board members.

Edward Marso, managing partner of Joliet-based Wermer, Rogers, Doran & Ruzon, said the firm plans to show the board the first phase of a forensic audit of the financial activities of Charlene Potts, former chief financial officer of the city’s housing authority,

but a time has not been decided yet.

He declined to comment on whether firm staff had found any irregularities with Potts’ work with the Joliet agency. Potts was arrested in August for an alleged embezzlement scheme during her work for the Chicago Housing Authority between 2005 and 2008.

Last year, Joliet housing authority officials hired the firm to investigate Potts’ activities during her period as CFO, which began in August 2011.

Marso had outlined some of the firms’ investi-

gative strategy to the Joliet housing authority board last year, such as examining her work in Joliet in stages and examining any new vendors hired by the housing authority.

The firm would report findings to board members, who would then decide if they were satisfied there was no misappropriation of funds or if the investigation should continue.

On Thursday, Marso said the firm is breaking up their investigation in phases to cut down on costs.

The investigation may cost up to $59,000.

The first phase was com-

paring Potts’ activities in her last few months as CFO of the Joliet agency with her activities for the Chicago Housing Authority to see if there are any irregularities, he said.

Howard Ellison, a partner with the firm, said the investigation has yet to conclude.

The firm’s staff contacted the agent involved in Potts’ arrest to learn of the methodology used to investigate her activities, said Michael Simelton, the Joliet agency’s chief executive officer, during a Dec. 17 Housing Authority of Joliet liaison committee meeting.

Broken pipe damages rooms at Irene King THE HERALD NEWS news@theherald news.com ROMEOVILLE – Eight classrooms in the south wing of Irene King Elementary School in Romeoville suffered water damage Thursday when a

pipe in the corner of one of the classrooms burst overnight.

The damage was discovered by a guest teacher when she arrived about 7 a.m. Thurday, according to a news release from the Valley View School Dis-

trict 365U. Maintenance staff stopped the leak prior to students arriving, but not before the water damaged carpets, cabinets, books and papers in eight kindergarten and firstgrade classrooms, according to the news release.

Those classrooms will be temporarily relocated to the library, art room, computer lab, gym and an unused fifth-grade room.

The goal is to have them back in their classrooms

by Monday, according to the district.

“They’ve done that,” he said at the meeting. “They got an understanding of what took place in Cook

County.”

Several calls made to Simelton were not immediately returned Thursday.

“In many of these cases, I think you will find that with these businesses – or certainly the subsidiary of these businesses that have created a purchasing corporation – their only location is in Channahon,” Cook said.

Cook assured the group that Channahon is working actively with lobbyists, lawmakers and all of their clients to shape any new legislation regarding point of sale.

“I think keeping a positive message and letting people know we’re still in the boxing ring is really important,” Cook said.

Pena said Channahon representatives have talked with all of the companies who may be affected by point of sale changes and the representatives were assured by many companies that their operation would be considered legal by IDR’s new regulations.

Cook also assured the committee that the busi-

nesses involved in the point of sale lawsuits and targeted by the emergency amendment will help the village and county in their fight to keep their current taxing strategies.

“These are major companies with a lot of money,” Cook said. “They are going to be some of the biggest players in this.”

Severson said although he supports Channahon’s efforts, he thinks the county should be prepared for the worst, which could include the county losing $1.8 million in future tax revenue.

“I’m just not quite as optimistic,” Severson said.

The committee decided to schedule a meeting with Grundy County Auditor Tanya Mack to discuss future revenue streams in case they lose the contested tax dollars and are faced with a budget crisis.

“We can keep some of these revenue strategies in our back pocket,” committee member David Welter said.

Cook said although the village is confident in its ability to secure the sales tax revenue stream, officials there too are re-evaluating Channahon’s budget.

“We are doing what all good governments should do, which is hope for the best but plan for the worst,” Cook said. “But we’re not done fighting yet.”

Cooper Rd

MORRIS – The Grundy County Finance Committee this week showed its support for Channahon in the fight over point of sales tax revenue.

Channahon President Joe Cook and Administrator Joe Pena met with the committee Wednesday to discuss.

“Grundy County is behind Channahon all of the way,” County Board Chairman Ron Severson said during Wednesday’s Finance Committee meeting.

Cook and Pena updated committee members on the village’s response to last week’s emergency amendment issued by the Illinois Department of Revenue changing point of sale regulations. The new regulations could have a direct impact on Channahon and Grundy County’s future tax revenues.

Channahon has been accused by the Regional Transit Authority of housing 16 or more companies, which route sales transactions through small, nearly nonexistent offices in the village.

The RTA contends that Channahon is diverting needed funds from other units of local government by claiming the sales tax revenue from those companies, which are not based in Channahon.

“We are doing what all good governments should do, which is hope for the best but plan for the worst.

But we’re not done ighting yet.”

MINOOKA VILLAGE BOARD MEETING

Board approves purchase of more than 66 acres

By KRIS STADALSKY Shaw Media Correspondent MINOOKA – The village of Minooka has purchased more than 66 acres of land at Sherril Road just east of Grove Road at a cost of $10,000 per acre.

Trustees approved the purchase in a 6-0 vote Tuesday night during the village’s regular board meeting. The property is being bought from Willard Harper Jr. and will be used for water retention in the industrial and commercial area of Brisbin Road. It also can be developed into open space for use by residents.

The village’s last land purchase cost $40,000 per acre, Trustee Dennis Martin said.

“I think it’s a great acquisition,” Martin said.

One large retention pond

servicing the entire area eliminates the need for each developer to incorporate retention ponds, saving them valuable property space, Village Administrator Dan Duffy said.

The village purchases the property upfront and developers will each pay for a portion in the future. In the meantime, the village rents the land for agricultural use until development happens in the area.

“It’s a win-win situation for everyone,” Duffy said.

The purchase fits in with the village’s comprehensive plan, which calls for 20 percent open space, Martin said.

Lions Park bike path plans move forward The bike path through Lions Park on McEvilly Road, which

will eventually connect the villages of Channahon and Minooka, is one step closer now that the design phase has been approved.

Minooka trustees unanimously gave approval to Robinson Engineering to begin phase two of the project at a cost not to exceed $96,367.

The multi-use path on McEvilly Road starts at the Minooka High School Central Campus and ends at Lions Park. This phase of the path project will connect that portion to the path down the road at Vista Commons subdivision.

The plan is to one day connect it to Channahon’s bike path at Heritage Lake subdivision.

The majority of funds have been obtained, but the village still is short, Duffy said.

Mayor Pat Brennan has been looking at other funding options and has talked with both Will and Grundy county officials to get them involved, Duffy added.

The path has been a priority for the village, Brennan said, adding the current road is a hazard for people to walk and bike on.

In other village board news: • Security cameras at Lions and Summit parks are being considered after vandalism – including the cutting down of soccer nets at Lions park and damage to park bathrooms – occurred at both parks the last two summers.

If used, the system could have multiple cameras at each location with the capability to record video, according to documents.

Prosecutors seek execution of Tsarnaev

By DENISE LAVOIE The Associated Press

BOSTON – Federal prosecutors Thursday announced they will seek the death penalty against 20-year-old Dzhokhar Tsarnaev in the Boston Marathon bombing, accusing him of betraying his adopted country by ruthlessly carrying out a terrorist attack calculated to cause maximum carnage.

U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder’s decision to press for Tsarnaev’s execution was widely expected. The twin blasts last April killed three people and wounded more than 260, and 17 of the 30 federal charges against Tsarnaev – including using a weapon of mass destruction to kill – carry the possibility of the death penalty.

“The nature of the conduct at issue and the resultant harm compel this decision,” Holder said in a statement of just two terse and dispassionate sentences that instantly raised the stakes in one of the most wrenching criminal cases Boston has ever seen.

Tsarnaev has pleaded not guilty. No trial date has been set.

In a notice of intent filed in court, federal prosecutors in Boston listed factors they contend justify a sentence of death against Tsarnaev, who moved to the U.S. from Russia about a decade ago.

“Dzhokhar Tsarnaev received asylum from the United States; obtained citizenship and enjoyed the freedoms of a United States citizen; and then betrayed his allegiance to

AP file photo

Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, was charged with using a weapon of mass destruction in the bombings on April 15 near the finish line of the Boston Marathon. Federal prosecutors are seeking the death penalty against the 20-year-old. the United States by killing and maiming people in the United States,” read the notice filed by U.S. Attorney Carmen Ortiz.

Prosecutors also cited

Tsarnaev’s “lack of remorse” and allegations that he killed an MIT police officer as well as an 8-year-old boy, a “particularly vulnerable” victim

because of his age. They also said Tsarnaev committed the killings after “substantial planning and premeditation.”

In addition, they cited his alleged decision to target the Boston Marathon, “an iconic event that draws large crowds of men, women and children to its final stretch, making it especially susceptible to the act and effects of terrorism.”

Tsarnaev’s lawyers had no immediate comment.

Prosecutors allege Tsarnaev, then 19, and his 26-year-old brother, ethnic Chechens from Russia, built and planted two pressure-cooker bombs near the finish line of the race to retaliate against the U.S. for its military actions in Muslim countries.

The older brother, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, died

in a shootout with police during a getaway attempt days after the bombing.

Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was wounded but escaped and was later captured hiding in a boat parked in a yard in a Boston suburb.

Authorities said he scrawled inside the boat such things as “The US Government is killing our innocent civilians” and “We Muslims are one body, you hurt one you hurt us all.”

Killed in the bombings were: Martin Richard, 8, of Boston; Krystle Campbell, 29, of Medford; and Lu Lingzi, 23, a Boston University graduate student from China. At least 16 others lost limbs. Tsarnaev also is charged in the slaying of the MIT officer and the carjacking of a motorist during the brothers’ getaway attempt.

Justice Dept. dramatically expanding clemency use The ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON – The Justice Department asked lawyers around the country to help Thursday some drug prisoners prepare petitions for clemency, a dramatic expansion of President Barack Obama’s action last month commuting the sentences of eight people he said were serving unduly harsh drug sentences.

The speech by the second-ranking official at the Justice Department, Deputy Attorney General James Cole, came as the Senate Judiciary Committee voted in favor of substantial changes to drug policy that could

reduce the nation’s prison population and bring exploding costs under control.

Cole’s remarks – in which he urged passage of the drug legislation – were a strong signal that the Obama administration intends to press forward with substantial changes in drug policy – an issue that some Republicans are willing to join in an effort to reduce the massive costs of the nation’s prison system.

In an address to the New York State Bar Association, Cole said there are low-level, nonviolent drug offenders who remain in prison, and who would likely have received a substantially

lesser sentence if convicted of the same crimes today.

“This is not fair, and it harms our criminal justice system,” Cole said. “To help correct this, we need to identify these individuals and get well-prepared petitions into the Department of Justice.” The department is trying to identify prisoners in similar circumstances to the eight granted clemency last year so it can recommend them to Obama for clemency, he said.

Of the eight inmates whose sentences Obama commuted in December, all were sentenced under old federal guidelines that treated convictions

for crack cocaine offenses more harshly than those involving the powder form of the drug.

The federal Bureau of Prisons will begin advising inmates of the opportunity to apply for sentence commutations, Cole said.

Cole said the government is looking to bar associations around the country to help potential clemency candidates.

He told the lawyers that “you each can play a critical role in this process by providing a qualified petitioner – one who has a clean record in prison, does not present a threat to public safety and who is facing a

life or near-life sentence that is excessive under current law – with the opportunity to get a fresh start.”

Cole said “organizations like yours can help by recruiting interested and skilled lawyers and training them to assist qualified inmates with these petitions.” Cole added that the Justice Department’s pardon attorney’s office can provide guidance to the defense lawyers regarding the clemency process and the standards for considering petitions. A member of Cole’s staff is to serve as the point of contact.

Depending on clemency standards that Cole didn’t

specify, the action could impact dozens, hundreds or thousands of prisoners.

The legislation that cleared the Senate committee could affect about 8,800 imprisoned crack offenders who were sentenced before the Fair Sentencing Act became law in 2010. That act reduced penalties to lessen the disparity between crack and powder cocaine offenses.

In the past two years, courts applied a retroactive reduction to sentences for crack that resulted in about 60 percent of offenders who asked for reductions getting them.

NEWS BRIEFS Russia: 2 suspects arrested in bombing MOSCOW – Russia’s counterterrorism agency Thursday identified the two suicide bombers who struck the southern city of Volgograd and announced the arrest of two suspected accomplices.

The bombings of a train station and trolley bus in Volgograd in late December, which killed 34 people and wounded many more, heightened security fears before the Winter Olympics in Sochi, which start next week.

The suspected bombers, Asker Samedov and Suleiman Magomedov, were members of a terrorist group based in Dagestan, the National Anti-Terrorism Committee said.

Two brothers, Magomednabi and Tagir Batirov, were detained as suspected accomplices Wednesday in Dagestan, a predominantly Muslim republic that has become the center of an Islamic insurgency. The brothers were believed to have helped the suicide bombers travel to Volgograd, about 400 miles to the north, the agency said in a statement.

Investigators were still trying to determine who had organized the attack, the statement said.

Vatican bank: Widows victims of crackdown VATICAN CITY – Dozens and perhaps hundreds of widows and Vatican pensioners recently came in for a rude surprise: The Vatican bank told them they had to close their accounts or risk losing access to their money – all in the name of Pope Francis’ reform efforts, The Associated Press has learned.

The bank now says it was

all a “technical error” and that the widows and pensioners are being kept on as clients. That reversal came despite the bank’s highly-publicized plan to close so-called “lay accounts” as it tries to mend relations with Italian authorities who have suspected that Italians were using the bank as a tax haven.

Bank President Ernst Von Freyberg penned a terse letter to these clients Sept.

19, telling them to come to the bank before Nov. 30 to transfer their money out because they no longer fit the criteria of account-holders set by the board. He warned somewhat ominously that if they didn’t meet the deadline, their money would become subject to the “internal dispositions” of the bank, according to a copy of the letter obtained by AP. He didn’t say what those “internal dispositions” were.

The bank’s board issued new guidelines for who could have an account in July as part of efforts to end decades of scandal that had tarnished the Holy See’s reputation – and were in part responsible for bringing the reform-minded Francis into the papacy.

20-term Waxman to retire; Fluke may run WASHINGTON – Rep. Henry Waxman, one of Congress’ fiercest negotiators and a policy expert on everything from clean air to health care, will retire at the end of the year after four decades in the House.

“It’s time for someone else to have the chance to make his or her mark,” the liberal California Democrat said Thursday in a statement

announcing he won’t seek re-election.

“I am strongly considering running,” Sandra Fluke, the former Georgetown University law student who testified to congressional Democrats that she wanted her college health plan to cover her birth control.

“I’ll be making my decision soon,” Fluke said Thursday.

Knox’s conviction upheld on appeal FLORENCE, Italy – An appeals court in Florence on Thursday upheld the guilty verdict against U.S. student Amanda Knox and her ex-boyfriend for the 2007 murder of her British roommate. Knox was sentenced to 28½ years in prison, raising the specter of a long legal battle over her extradition if the conviction is upheld.

Lawyers for Knox and her co-defendant Raphael Sollecito vowed to appeal to Italy’s highest court, a process that will take at least another year, dragging out a legal saga that has divided court-watchers in three nations.

In a statement from Seattle, where she had awaited the verdict, Knox said she was “frightened and saddened” by the decision.

After nearly 12 hours of deliberations, the court reinstated the guilty verdicts first handed down against Knox and Sollecito in 2009 for the death of Meredith Kercher. Those verdicts had been overturned in 2011 and the pair freed from prison, but Italy’s supreme court vacated that decision and sent the case back for a third trial in Florence.

Knox’s attorney, Carlo Dalla Vedova, said he had called Knox by telephone and in-

formed her that the Florence court had not only confirmed the guilty verdict, but had increased the sentence from the original 26 years.

Oscar nomination for song rescinded LOS ANGELES – The motion picture academy says it’s rescinding the Academy Awards original song nomination for “Alone Yet Not Alone” from the film of the same name after it discovered composer Bruce Broughton emailed members of the group’s music branch to make them aware of his submission during the nominations voting period.

Broughton serves as a member of the music branch’s executive committee and is a former governor for the academy.

An additional nominee will not be named.

District apologizes after taking lunches SALT LAKE CITY – Erica Lukes and other Utah parents were outraged when their children had their deep dish pizzas and other food taken and thrown away at their elementary school after a cashier said they owed money on their lunch accounts.

Lukes said taking the $2 meals from about 30 students was “humiliating and demoralizing.”

The Salt Lake City School District apologized Thursday and said it was investigating what happened at Uintah Elementary and working to make sure it doesn’t happen again.

“This was a mistake,” district spokesman Jason Olsen said.

Mesmerizing experience

Mark Black – Daily Herald

Two-week course leads Naperville man to brewmasters craft career

By MARK BLACK Daily Herald

N

APERVILLE – If you’ve ever dreamed of turning your hobby into a full-time profession, it probably wouldn’t hurt to take a few cues from Ken McMullen.

Twenty years ago, the Naperville man was working in quality assurance for a computer reseller when he started brewing beer during his free time at home with a five-gallon kit.

“From the first time I tried [brewing] beer, I was mesmerized,” McMullen said.

After brewing his first batch at home, he thought to himself, “I can make a living at this.”

Turns out he was right.

The key moment came in 1999, when McMullen took an intensive twoweek course in brewing beer at the Siebel Institute of Technology in Chicago.

Inspired by the possibilities, he quit his job and headed to Southern California, where he and

his brother opened Temecula Brewing Company.

McMullen brewed beer there for three years before returning to the Chicago area, where he ended up working at a national chain restaurant and then doing a bit of real estate work.

Then he saw an ad for a job tending bar at the Limestone brewery

in Plainfield. Because of his experience, he found himself becoming first the kitchen manager and eventually the brewery’s brewmaster.

The brewery closed in 2010, but McMullen was able to find a new brewmaster position at Hopvine Brewing Co. in Aurora, where he works to create and perfect

brews to please area beer lovers.

He currently brews seven different beers and has plans to have 12 to 14 on tap, with four or five year-round drafts.

He’s been working with area bars and restaurants to take on some of Hopvine’s brews as well.

His beers have some unusual names,

including Splagna, a German-style Kolsch; Urban Tumbleweed, a German-style hefeweizen; an American amber ale called Aurora Amber; and a Belgian-style tripel, Brew Monkey.

The latter’s name came about as a mashup of sorts, McMullen said. “This beer wasn’t brewed by a monk, but it is brewed by a monkey,” referring to the Middle Ages when Catholic monks brewed beer, and

“From the first time I tried [brewing] beer, I was mesmerized.”

himself, self-deprecatingly, as the monkey.

In addition to his work, he helped create a home brew club called PALE, or Plainfield Ale and Lager Enthusiast. He also helped start a charity craft brew fest called the Midwest Brewers Fest in Plainfield.

OUR VIEW

The lengthy winter of our discontent There are, we understand, people who cozy up to winter, who regale like children in the drifting snow, come alive at the icy bite of a freezing wind, find beauty in the stark jagged lines the tree branches trace across the graying sky, enjoy the dim of the dark and early nights. They are, we believe, carefree people who dress in sweaters and savor hot chocolate and marvel endlessly among themselves at the simple poetic virtue of a single snowflake, how each – can you imagine? – is different from any other.

Yes, we understand there are people like that in this frigid world. Some of them, we’re told, even live in the frigid suburbs.

But rest assured, this month, none of them sits on our Editorial Board.

Don’t get us wrong.

We do not have any philosophical problem with winter. A little white Christmas is nice. And we enjoy the change of seasons as much as the next fellow.

Well, for a day or two, or maybe even for a week. Yes, we’re hardy Midwesterners to be sure.

However, there are limits.

We don’t know whether to blame this tiresome winter on Springfield, an easy target to blame for most of the suburbs’ problems,

or on Obamacare, which seems to get the blame for everything else.

But our patience has grown thin. It’s time that the wintry weather stop.

Unfortunately, despite our editorial position on the matter, that’s not going to happen anytime soon. The forecast for this week calls for more dangerous subzero temperatures, and the long-range forecast doesn’t portend much better throughout February.

That being the case, let us all remember the safety lessons the Polar Vortex has reinforced. If you need to use a space heater, exercise proper caution, and unless it’s absolutely essential don’t go to sleep with it running. When you need to shovel snow, don’t overdo it; take breaks and know your limitations. On snow-covered streets, set aside extra time, drive defensively and try to avoid sudden stops and turns.

Check in on older friends, relatives and neighbors.

Use common sense in dressing for the weather; wear scarves, caps and mittens, and make sure kids and teenagers don’t slip out of the house without them.

Mainly, let’s all look out for each other.

Stay safe. Stay warm.

And c’mon, spring!

U.S. mayors forced to innovate I recently came across more proof that lawmakers blocking progress are weakening the institution of Congress: Mayors from across the nation met in Washington, D.C., for three days last week to discuss a host of issues and possible solutions against a backdrop of congressional inaction.

This came as President Obama stated his plans to use “a pen and a phone” to “make sure that we’re providing Americans the kind of help they need.”

And further, voters are recognizing that the problem in Congress starts at

VIEWS Donna Brazile the state level – and many hope their legislatures will do something about it.

Scott Smith, president of the U.S. Conference of Mayors and mayor of Mesa, Ariz., put it bluntly: “Rather than look to Washington for assistance, mayors have been forced to turn to local partnerships to continue to accomplish more with less.

“We’ve been practicing

innovation, creativity and the art of trying new things for years to keep our cities strong and thriving because the partnership between local and federal government is not as strong now as it once was,” Smith said.

“Several things that should be happening in Congress are not happening,” he said. “Instead of Congress pulling together to help working Americans, there is an all-out assault on programs that would help them.”

Smith is a Republican who plans to resign his mayoral post in April

to seek his party’s nomination for the Arizona governorship. He sounds nothing like the federal office-holders and candidates who seem to specialize in partisan rhetoric.

Smith told USA Today he would miss his fellow mayors, describing them as a “pragmatic bunch who care more about finding solutions than about focusing on ideological differences.”

The USCM released a study that underscored the importance of our cities to our economy.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Dramatic contradictions To the Editor: The government proclaims its commitment to jobs and simultaneously pushes for the Trans Pacific Partnership that will offshore jobs to cheaper unregulated labor markets.

The contradictions are dramatic. The president declared that inequality “is the defining challenge of our time” and yet the government advocates the TPP that will exacerbate existing inequalities, destroy our democracy, and limit our sovereignty. Independent international tribunals will be making policies that the 12 signatory nations would have to adhere to.

Regulations that protect our environment, food supply, pharmaceutical products, and consumer rights could be set aside by a group of men whose primary constituency is multinational corporations that place profits above human needs.

They are instruments of self aggrandizement for the few that have no compassion for

the poor and middle class.

In contrast to the TPP with its hidden agenda of world domination by the corporate elite is Pope Francis’ vision.

He appears dedicated to reinvigorating the church by confronting the needs of those excluded from the “dictatorship” of the global economic system.

Pope Francis wrote, “How can it be that it is not news when an elderly homeless person dies of exposure, but it is news when the stock market loses two points?”

The Pope has embraced the

Bishops’ 1979 affirmation of “the preferential option for the poor.” He talks about a global economy of exclusion,of a free market that perpetuates inequality, and “devours” human beings and the environment. Pope Francis’ vision is in stark contrast to those that give credence to the “trickle down theories” that rationalize economic inequality and justify the wealth of the few and the poverty and desperation of the many.

The TPP institutionalizes “trickle down” economics

and should be rejected by the American people. No to Fast track! No to TPP! Donald Torrence Joliet

Questions need to be asked To the Editor: The former Secretary of Defense claims to have notified the President with one hour of the start that the attack was planned terrorism vs. a spontaneous act.

Tough questions need to be asked. These questions should have been asked and answered long ago.

1.What was the hour -by-hour location of the President, his Cabinet and the Joint Chiefs during the entire 8- to 12-hour massacre?

2. Why didn’t the Libyan Security Forces and Police step in immediately or are they complicit?

3. Did we request Libya’s permission to send in forces, use airstrips, and refueling sources?

4. If No. 2 and No. 3 were

refused, why didn’t we take immediate action to save our people?

5. Whose drone was taking pictures and, if there was time for it to get there, then an armed one could have been launched.

6. Who gave the order for our response teams to stand down and why? A couple of squads, possibly, could have been dropped in within the 8-hour period.

We, probably, have air capability to have been over the area within the 8 hours with some precision munitions.

7. Why didn’t Libya round up some of the assailants within days or why didn’t we?

Some of the photos probably could have yielded results through facial recognition software.

8. Who exactly in the chain upward gave Susan Rice her talking points?

We lost good people that day, lost more citizens last week in Afghanistan and no one is being brought to justice. There is no physical response meted out, no

responsible persons removed from their jobs and/ or charged with incompetence.

We, as a great country, should be incensed and ashamed. We should demand these questions be answered and then have immediate and appropriate action.

Tax increase is not needed To the Editor: The New Lenox Fire District wants to raise your taxes with a huge tax increase referendum on the March ballot. This increase is definitely NOT needed.

Their fiscal year ended on December 31st with a balance of cash on hand of $5,435,553.

Growth in consumer consumption will rise to 2.8 percent this year • BRAZILE Continued from page 19 Conducted by IHS Global Insight, a Massachusetts company that researches and analyzes economic trends, the study found that: • The national economy’s gross domestic product (GDP) will leap from last year’s 1.9 percent to 2.7 percent in 2014 – and continue climbing into 2015 with a GDP increase of 3.2 percent.

• Growth in consumer consumption (the driver

of the economy) will be up sharply in 2014 from 2 percent to 2.8 percent in 2014.

• At the city level, 356 of the 363 U.S. metropolitan areas are expected to experience “real economic growth” (inflation adjusted) in 2014.

• Almost one-fifth of U.S. metro areas are projected to experience real economic growth in 2014 of 3 percent; 62 percent (226 metro areas) will have a 2 percent growth rate.

• 297 metro areas (82 percent) will see jobs

growth in 2014, and 40 percent will see unemployment skink to 6 percent.

• On the national level, the U.S. unemployment rate is expected to fall to 6.5 percent in 2014, and break the 6 percent barrier in 2015, dropping to 5.9 percent.

The USCM also commissioned an energy study and found, despite tight budgets, a remarkable 300 cities plan to reduce their consumption of energy. Most expect to make energy-efficient lighting (LEDs) a priority

over the next two years, as well as retrofitting public buildings with energy-saving equipment. Mayors plan to find the funds in their own budgets and to partner with private enterprise (including electric companies) to accomplish energy-saving programs.

More than seven in 10 mayors believe their local utility companies are “their most important partners” in implementing plans to conserve energy, lower taxpayer costs, and bring city lighting into the 21st century.

Other good news to come from the U.S. Mayor’s Conference is that only .06 percent of local governments filed for bankruptcy in the last five years. Detroit made headlines, but it’s the exception – by a long shot.

Cities and their wider metro areas account for 86 percent of all U.S. jobs and 90 percent of GDP. Our cities could use some cooperation from Congress, but instead, Congress seems to be moving in the opposite direction, making it more expensive and time-consuming to

get municipal bonds.

We should praise our mayors for their innovative approaches, their willingness to put solutions and citizens over ideology and party, and their commitment to programs that help people.

Congress could learn a lot from them.

McLain: Lowering mound changed baseball forever VIEWS Dick Goss Denny McLain, who may be baseball’s last 30game winner ever, is well aware how the steroid era, which he said is not over, has tarnished the national pastime.

However, he said the game’s most influential change occurred after the pitching-dominated season of 1968. That was the year McLain went 31-6 with a 1.96 ERA, became the first pitcher to win Cy Young and MVP awards and led the Detroit to the World Series, where they rallied from a 3-1 deficit to beat the St. Louis Cardinals in seven games.

“The biggest change in the game was in 1968 when they reduced the mound from 16 to 10 inches. That killed the pitchers,” McLain, 69, said before Thursday night’s 65th annual Old Timers Baseball Association of Will County banquet at the Joliet Holiday Inn, where he was the guest speaker.

“Over the next five or six years, 18 of the top 25 pitchers were out of the game or injured so badly that they weren’t any-

We grew up on high mounds, not like kids today. There’s a lot more injuries per capita now and there will be until they bring back the higher mound.”

McLain, a lifelong Cubs’ fan who originally was with the White Sox before the Tigers claimed him off waivers, said his own statistics bear out the difference.

“The year I won 30 games I struck out 280,”

he said. “I struck out 180 the next year (when he still finished 24-9 with a 2.80 ERA). I hurt my arm originally in ’66. It was sore all the time yet I didn’t miss a start. All of a sudden, in ’69, it was getting traumatic with the lower mound.

“I had a heck of year in ’69, Any time you win 20, it’s a great year. But the injury was getting worse and worse. I didn’t have leverage. In ’70, I couldn’t

adapt and in ’71 it was like going to hell to play, going to Washington to play for (Ted) Williams.”

McLain was told he was throwing in the 93 to 97 mph range consistently in 1968.

“Two or three different guys who do some calibrating on video – however they do that – said I was consistently in the 93 to 97 range in ’68. I wish they would have looked at me in ’69 and ’70. There was

a real reason I struck out 100 fewer guys in ’69.”

Since his playing days ended, McLain, who pitched at Mount Carmel and is married to Lou Boudreau’s daughter, Sharon, has played the organ, hustled golf, been in prison for charges that included racketeering, drug trafficking, mail fraud and conspiracy, done radio work in Detroit and run a business buying, trading and selling sports memorabilia.

As for the steroid era, McLain said Major League Baseball “never got their arms around how to handle it.

“That story a couple of years ago that 102 or 104 guys tested positive for PEDs, nobody ID’d all those guys. Some of them will get a free pass into the Hall of Fame. Voters and fans are entitled to know who they are.

“If A-Rod (Alex Rodriguez) did half the stuff they said, he’s getting what he deserves. Roger Clemens was an idol.

There are a lot more Rogers Clemenses out there, but we don’t know who they are.”

Meanwhile, the steroid era may be continuing.

“I don’t necessarily believe the steroid era is over,” McLain said.

“These guys hire their own lab rats to beat the tests. It’s so sophisticated.

“I’m glad we didn’t have those things to take in my day. The bottom line is players have always done everything they can to stay in the game. Guys 30, 31, 32 use whatever they can to hang around.”

Salaries have exploded since McLain pitched, but there is a constant.

“It has always been true there is no lifestyle better than a major league baseball player,” he said.

“It was the same in my day, and we didn’t make anywhere near the money they do now. I made $440,000 my entire career.

“We had to work jobs in the offseason. I thank God I could play the keyboard. I still play it, but I don’t go out and play at night. My wife doesn’t allow me out at night anymore.”

McLain’s autobiography is titled, “I Told You I Wasn’t Perfect.” His life has had its share of negatives. But he remains a baseball icon. The way bullpens are used these days, he indeed may be the last 30-game winner ever.

No surprise he played to a sellout crowd at the Holiday Inn.

GIRLS BASKETBALL: LINCOLN-WAY WEST 69, LINCOLN-WAY CENTRAL 65

L-W West holds off L-W Central

By ROB OESTERLE Shaw Media Correspondent NEW LENOX – Thursday night’s girls basketball game between Lincoln-Way Central and host Lincoln-Way West was shaping up to be a dogfight typical of when two rivals meet.

The two teams went backand-forth the entire first quarter, with West taking a 14-12 lead after the first eight minutes.

Then, the second quarter hit.

Lincoln-Way West’s defense tightened up considerably and the offense hit on all cylinders.

The result was a 30-11 outburst that gave West (13-7, 5-4) a 44-23 halftime lead en route to a 69-65 Southwest Suburban victory.

Sophomore guard Dani Morgan was the main force behind the West win, finishing with 31 points and 16 rebounds. She had 20 points in the first half. Teammate Kaitlyn Mathews finished with 12 points.

“We were pumped up for this game,” Morgan said. “They are our rivals and they have already beaten us twice this year.

We were ready for this one.”

Morgan scored the first six points of the second quarter, hitting a basket underneath, a 3-pointer and a free throw.

Meanwhile, the Warriors’ defense forced 13 turnovers in the quarter and held Central without a field goal until 2:54 remained in the first half. The Warriors also went the last 1:45 of the first quarter without allowing a field goal.

“The first half was probably the best half of basketball we have played all year,” West coach Ryan White said. “Offense, defense, handling the ball. We did everything well. To hold Central to 23 points in a half. Wow. I told the girls before the game that our target was to hold them to 65, which we did.

“They put up 42 in the second half, but that’s what they do. They can put up points

quick with all the 3-pointers they shoot and their pressure defense. I knew they would make a run at some point, and they did.”

Indeed they did.

West held a 58-38 lead going into the fourth quarter, but a furious rally by the Knights brought them to within 6865 with 19.5 seconds left after Kelsie Foster (12 points) hit a 3-pointer.

West’s Emily Aslinger (8 points) hit a free throw with 17.9 to go. Morgan ended the game with a steal on Central’s final possession.

“We have a young team and we are still learning to close out games,” White said. “This will help us down the road. I was very pleased that we came out

strong tonight. We have been kind of a slow-starting team this year, but our girls had a lot of energy from the start. Some of that was playing against Lincoln-Way Central, and some of it was having some students in the stands. I think our girls took some energy from them.

“We are usually outsized like we were tonight, but I thought we did a good job on the boards.

Dani is a great athlete. She goes in to the basket hard and she attacks the glass. We knew they would hit some 3-pointers and make a run, but we wanted to have an answer. We had just enough tonight.”

Hayley Holmes, who led Central with 16 points, scored eight in the fourth, as did teammate Sami Wisniewski.

in Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference play.

Robert Morris (16-6, 7-4) led for the final 17:52 of the first half and was up by as much as 35-21 at the 6:02 mark en route to a 39-31 halftime lead.

St. Francis (10-12, 7-5) battled back and took its first lead, 50-48, with 9:49 left after back-to-back baskets by sophomore Logan Timmons. Robert Morris answered with a 13-5 spurt

to take a 61-55 advantage.

However, USF scored the next eight points to regain the lead, 63-61, on two Timmons free throws with 2:09 to go. A Timmons jumper with 30 seconds left followed by two free throws from freshman Jo Jo Ballestero 11 seconds later preserved the upset victory, the Saints’ first in four tries against a top-25 rival.

Hawks regain offensive mojo

By SETH GRUEN sgruen@suntimes.com LAS VEGAS – For the better part of the month of January, the Blackhawks were looking for that offensive knockout blow that has become the signature of this talent-laden roster.

It wasn’t that they were going through a month-long offensive drought, but didn’t have the kind of overwhelming offensive periods that put games away earlier in the season.

They finally got that back in their last game of the month Wednesday in a 5-2 win at Vancouver when the Hawks had a four-goal second period. It was the their best single-period output since they scored four in the third period of their win Jan. 3 over the Devils in New Jersey.

The Hawks finished the month of January having won only five times in 14 games, but at least it appears they have regained their mojo heading into February.

“We had a great momentum swing in the second period scoring four goals like that,” Hawks captain Jonathan Toews said.

“I think the biggest thing we’ve had trouble with lately is not

Next for the Hawks Blackhawks at San Jose, 9:30 p.m. Saturday, CSN, AM-720 having those moments where we’re playing well.

“Confidence is always there and we know what we’re capable of as a team and sometimes things don’t go well for you and when you don’t get the results it’s not always easy to get through it.”

Not so surprisingly the period was ignited when a struggling power play unit found the net. Marian Hossa’s tic-tac-toe power-play goal at 6:30 in the second period broke a streak of nine straight man-advantage opportunities without a goal for the Hawks dating to their Jan. 22 game in Detroit.

But more importantly it ignited a run of three goals in 4:17. Brandon Saad scored at 9:29 and Toews at 10:47.

Patrick Sharp later added the Hawks’ fourth goal of the period at 14:11.

“Nice play on our power play against a good team and

their penalty-killing unit,” Hawks coach Joel Quenneville said. “I think that’s what we needed to get some offense and it kind of ignited our win.”

An offensive outburst like that made it easy for the Hawks to close out the game Wednesday night.

In fact despite playing the back end of a back-to-back, defenseman Duncan Keith said he thought most guys felt better Wednesday than they had Tuesday night in an overtime loss to Calgary.

They didn’t appear tired in the third period.

“We played really well all game,” goalie Corey Crawford said. “That was a fast-paced game, something we’re used to.

Our speed was definitely there and it seemed like we were putting the puck in the right place when the game was on the line.”

For Quenneville, it was the kind of game he had emphasized the Hawks needed to have to win on this road trip.

The coach wanted consistency on all four lines and got it Wednesday. Even his fourth line got into the action offensively. Brandon Bollig had six shots and three hits Wednesday.

NASCAR

Ladies and gentlemen, fill your brackets VIEWS Tom Musick Attention, race fans.

We need to come up with a nickname.

All right, so “March Madness” already has been taken, but that’s fine because NASCAR’s new championship format won’t hit top speed until September.

How about The (Even More) Amazing Race? The Sweet 16 Bracket of Left Turn Lunacy? Or maybe we could call it the Ballad of Burnin’ Rubber?

Fine, so there’s probably a reason why I am not a marketing consultant.

But the reality is that NASCAR took a big step forward Thursday regardless of whether it comes up with a catchy, “March Madness” type of moniker to describe the new Chase for the Sprint Cup. The changes will carry big implications in Joliet, where the Chicagoland Speedway will serve as the first site of an elimination-style tournament to determine the champion driver.

In addition to creating a 16-driver playoff bracket, NASCAR also recently announced design changes to make cars more aerodynamic along with changes to qualifying.

“I think it’s absolutely a shot in the arm,” said Scott Paddock, the president of Chicagoland Speedway, who spoke by phone from NASCAR’s meetings in Charlotte, N.C. “I think these are game changers.

“I think everyone can under-

AP photo

NASCAR CEO Brian France talks to the media about the new championship format during Thursday’s news conference at the NASCAR Sprint Cup Media Tour in Charlotte, N.C. stand a bracket format in the playoffs. Now, for the casual fan, this sport has become much more easy to understand. Any time you’re talking round-byround eliminations – think of the NCAA tournament – that creates additional intensity and excitement, week to week.”

As one of those casual fans, I’m glad I can stop worrying about a point system that never made sense.

Here’s a rundown of how the new bracket will work.

Starting Sept. 14 at Chicagoland Speedway, the top 16

drivers from the regular season will compete for the opportunity to host the Golden Radiator Hose. OK, so maybe I made up the name for the championship trophy, but it’s safe to say that the winning driver will make a trunk full of money.

The 10-race format remains in tact, but the details have changed in a big way. After the first three races – Chicagoland, New Hampshire and Dover – the bottom four drivers will be eliminated and 12 will remain in the championship hunt. After the next three races – Kansas,

Charlotte and Talladega – the next four bottom drivers will be eliminated and eight will remain. After the next three races – Martinsville, Texas and Phoenix – only four drivers will remain.

Get it? Got it? Good.

The final race at Homestead-Miami will be winner take all among those four drivers. No advanced math, no complicated formula.

If you blow your engine or get a flat tire or somehow manage to hit a deer, then you’re out of luck. As is the case with the Su-

per Bowl and the NCAA championship game and many other big events, you have to perform at your best when it matters most in order to be crowned the champion.

“Under the old system, a driver could finish fourth, fifth or sixth and say today was a good day,” Paddock said. “Now, the priority and the premium is on winning. I think you’re going to get a lot of Cinderella stories.”

And increased ticket sales, which is a great thing for tracks such as Chicagoland.

Ray Hardesty knows racing like the back of his hand, or at least like the bottom of his pedal-pushing foot. The 44-yearold McHenry resident said he races about 20 weekends a year at Rockford Speedway with his old-school, 1977 Monte Carlo that used to be popular among legendary drivers such as Dale Earnhardt.

Although NASCAR’s new format could diminish the importance of consistency, Hardesty said, it also could draw in more casual fans because it’s simple to understand.

“I think it’s definitely trying to draw more people in,” Hardesty said. “I know our crowds [in Rockford] have been down the last couple of years.”

But spirits are up.

It’s easy to see why.

“This is a very historic and significant day for the sport and for the fans,” Paddock said.

“This is as excited as I’ve seen folks for a long, long time.”

The Bulls’ Joakim Noah grabs a rebound over San Antonio Spurs’ Tim Duncan during the first half Wednesday in San Antonio.

BULLS

Noah named All-Star reserve

By JOE COWLEY Chicago Sun-Times NEW ORLEANS – There is a story to be written about this Bulls season as far as Joakim Noah sees it, and has no problem playing the role of introspective author.

Thursday’s chapter? A second-consecutive AllStar appearance for the hybrid center, after he was named an Eastern Conference reserve by the NBA coaches.

“I’m just happy man, I’m really happy,’’ Noah said in a teleconference.

“It goes through your mind, but it’s an unbelievable honor. Very hum-

bling. Even though it’s not my priority, it’s good ...

I’m not going to take any of these experiences for granted.’’

And while Noah was humbled, coach Tom Thibodeau kept insisting that it was a “no-brainer’’ that Noah make the team, as far as he was concerned.

According to Thibodeau, with Derrick Rose lost for the season (right knee) and Luol Deng traded to Cleveland at the start of the month, Noah is a big reason why the Bulls have stayed relevant in the Eastern Conference playoff picture, carrying the team throughout January to an 11-4 record, especial-

ly on the offensive side.

The numbers back up how good Noah has been as of late.

After missing most of training camp with a bum groin/hamstring, Noah’s November reflected a guy that was out of sync, as he averaged 9.5 points, 7.5 rebounds and 3.4 assists a game. In January, Noah averaged 13.6 points, 14.1 rebounds and 5.8 assists.

As far as where he stacks up with other NBA centers, Noah was 14th in scoring with 11.7 a game, but was fifth in rebounding at 11.4, 11th in blocks at 1.37, third in steals with 1.14 and first in assists with 4.2.

The Artist

Cornerstone client beautifies Van Buren Street location with his works of art

By DENISE M. BARAN–UNLAND dunland@shawmedia.com JOLIET – With obvious delight on his face, Mark Kazmierowicz, 47, of Homer Glen rose to his feet, grasped his walker and initiated the grand tour of his painted tables, standing in a semi-circle across the meeting room at Cornerstone Services in Joliet.

When Mark reached the table displaying the words “Dunkin’ Donuts,” he paused and grinned.

Mark’s dream, said his mother Phyllis Kazmierowicz of Homer Glen, is for a Dunkin’ Donuts to display that table. She’s not sure why that’s so important to Mark, who is nonverbal and has cerebral palsy and Parkinson’s disease.

“We do go there for ice cream sometimes,” Phyllis said.

Mark smiles and nods his head.

Cornerstone Services offers comprehensive services to people with disabilities. For Mark, that’s included encouraging his artistic talent – and evidence of it is everywhere, said Kathryn Dolezal, community support services case manager. That includes the large paper stack of rough drafts and floor plans, all sketched in colorful markers. Mark spends about a week on each project, she added.

“And that’s seven hours a day, every day,” Dolezal said. “He paints every nook and cranny.”

Although Mark mostly paints furniture, he has created cardboard model

Lathan Goumas – lathangoumas@shawmedia.com

Mark Kazmierowicz of Homer Glen sorts through some of his art Wednesday while in his studio at the Cornerstone Services building on Van Buren Street in Joliet. Kemierowicz, who has Parkinson’s disease and is non-verbal, spends much of his time painting. houses, landscaped in fine detail with cardboard, rock and other found objects.

Mark also built a miniature Blackhawks stadium – featuring its logo in the center – with stand-up cardboard players “holding” craft stick hockey sticks.

With paint, Mark initialed the doorplate to the storage room that he claimed as his personal studio. A handmade, painted calendar hangs above his work bench with the last two days crossed off (representing Saturday and Sunday, the day Mark stays home). Even Mark’s jeans are full of paint.

For your information Individuals wishing to donate materials or purchase one of Mark Kazmierowicz’s art pieces should call Matthew Lanoue, coordinator of public relations, at 815-741-6744.

Since 1969, the not-for-profit Cornerstone Services has offered comprehensive services (vocational, developmental, residential and behavior health) to people with disabilities. For more information, call 815-741-7600 or visit www.cornerstoneservices.org.

“We were trying to figure out ways to get clients more involved and Mark was one client that never seemed interested in things. He just sat in class,” Dolezal said. “I asked his mom what he liked at home and she said, ‘arts and

crafts.’ Our director said, ‘If that’s what he likes, give him the materials and let him try it.’ ” So Dolezal provided a wood table and sandpaper from the warehouse. Mark sanded for eight straight hours, Dolezal said. Then

Dolezal found some leftover acrylic paint and a brush and gave those to Mark, too. He pointed to the table and Dolezal said, “Yes.” “The whole building has become involved,” Dolezal said. “Anytime someone finds furniture now, they bring it in for Mark.”

Since he was a boy, Mark has loved art, as well as gardening. Mark used to plant the family’s vegetable garden (“Where we live now, we have trouble growing a garden,” Phyllis said). Mark still plants all the flowers.

Mark’s earliest mediums were crayons and

coloring books. As he grew older, Mark progressed to “paint by number.” Mark’s two siblings, Laurie Kazmierowicz, 40, and Scott Kazmierowicz, 44, also have cerebral palsy but the condition is not genetic, Phyllis said, nor do they share Mark’s fascination for art.

“I think it shows a lot of imagination on his part,” Phyllis said.

Dolezal told Mark’s parents about how their son had beautified Cornerstone, but even that did little to prepare them for the vastness of his work.

“I had expected just one or two tables,” said Donald Kazmierowicz, Mark’s father.

One spring-themed cabinet has splashes of pastels and plenty of yellow-green. A Fourth of July painted collage – in honor of Laurie’s birthday – features fireworks and two people soaking up the sun.

A bat lurks in a cloud in a Halloween table. A table honoring superheroes includes the Incredible Hulk, Mark’s nod to the interests of another Cornerstone client.

Laurie gestured to a large Christmas mural taped to the wall outside Mark’s workshop and pointed out all its features: the wise men, the shepherds and sheep, Mary and Joseph, a snowman and a Christmas tree.

“Mark is a very special person,” Laurie said in halting speech. “He has taught me so much about life.”

And that is?

“Patience,” Laurie said.

QUICK CRITIC “Labor Day” STARRING: Kate Winslet, Josh Brolin, Gattlin Grifith

PLOT: Depressed single mom Adele and her son, Henry, offer a wounded, fearsome man a ride. As police search town for the escaped convict, the mother and son gradually learn his true story as their options become increasingly limited.

RATED: PG-13 for thematic material, brief violence and sexuality TIME: 1 hour, 51 minutes VERDICT: “Labor Day” turns out to be aptly titled, and not only because it transpires over the course of one hot-and-heavy summer’s end in the mid-1980s. In this intense, exquisitely photographed domestic potboiler, both Kate Winslet and Josh Brolin deliver studiously serious performances, trying mightily not to betray how hard they’re working to overcome the preposterous story in which they find themselves. Adapted by Jason Reitman from a novel by Joyce Maynard, this sexually charged wish-fulfillment fantasy – complete

with troubling masochistic and Oepidal undertones – arrives with people already buzzing about its standout scene, in which Brolin’s charismatic ex-convict teaches Winslet’s depressive, agoraphobic housewife how to bake a peach pie (never before has the word “crumbing” been quite so erotically charged). But that turns out to be just one of the many gemutlich talents of Frank, who first meets Adele (Winslet) and her 13-year-old son, Henry (Gattlin Griffith), when they take a rare outing to buy school clothes. Having recently escaped from prison, Frank forces himself into their car and proceeds to hold them hostage in their airless, unkempt house. Soon, the taciturn, rough-hewn dreamboat is changing the oil in Adele’s car, teaching Henry how to throw a baseball, waxing the floors and even ironing. It’s not for nothing that, back in the variety store, he emerged from behind a rack of super-hero comics. If only Reitman, best know for such comedies as “Juno,” “Up In the Air” and “Young Adult,” had brought

some wit or swiftness to bear on Maynard’s painfully trite and retrograde plot, which only grows more contrived with the introduction of a creepily precocious girl whom Henry fatefully befriends at the local library. It’s difficult to believe a word of “Labor Day,” but then again you don’t have to in order to luxuriate in Winslet and Brolin’s bubbling, steaming chemistry. Still, between this, “Revolutionary Road” and “Mildred Pierce,” it seems past time for Winslet to cast off the sackcloth and ashes of suburban angst and live it up a little. A girl can’t live on pie and penance alone. – The

Washington Post

“Lone Survivor” STARRING: Mark Wahlberg, Taylor Kitsch, Emile Hirsch

PLOT: Based on the failed June 28, 2005, mission Operation Red Wings. Four members of SEAL Team 10 were tasked with the mission to capture or kill notorious Taliban leader Ahmad Shahd.

RATED: R for strong bloody war

violence and pervasive language

TIME: 2 hours, 1 minute VERDICT: With all the talk about fact-based ilms and how accurate they should or shouldn’t be, it’s worth noting some stories are best brought to screen as simply and purely as possible.

This is especially true with a film like “Lone Survivor,” Peter Berg’s expertly rendered account of a disastrous 2005 military operation in Afghanistan. War is messy, and politics are messy. But Berg has wisely chosen to focus pretty squarely on the action, and to present it as straightforwardly as possible. And he’s executed that approach with admirable skill, down to using autopsy reports to get the number of wounds a soldier suffered exactly right. “Lone Survivor” doesn’t have nearly the sweep of a major war film like Spielberg’s “Saving Private Ryan.” But the action scenes – basically, one protracted, harrowing firefight – feel as realistic as any we’ve seen on the screen for some time. That firefight, for those unfamiliar with the story (Berg also

penned the screenplay, based on the memoir by former Navy SEAL Marcus Luttrell), took place June 28, 2005, in the craggy mountains of Afghanistan’s Kunar province.

As part of Operation Red Wings, Luttrell and three fellow SEALS were positioned on a hillside, tracking a Taliban commander in the village below, when they suddenly encountered a few local shepherds.

Their agonized decision on what to do with those shepherds, one of them a teenager, led to a string of events that ultimately resulted in 19 American deaths. Of course, the title, “Lone Survivor,” and the fact Luttrell is played by the movie’s star (Mark Wahlberg, in a strong and moving performance) tells you much of what’s going to happen from the get-go. But that doesn’t hurt the film’s immediacy and power. In fact, you may have a hard time sitting still. Berg opens with footage of real Navy SEAL training and the extremes it reaches – some might call it unnecessary and overly worshipful, but for people who don’t know a lot about the SEALS,

it’s helpful and effective. We’re also given a sense of the lighthearted camaraderie at the military base, in between operations, as the men joke about wives and girlfriends back home, or compete in foot races. One of the SEALS worries about how to afford a wedding present for his bride. The veterans engage in a little good-natured ribbing of a new arrival – involving some silly dancing. But all lightness disappears suddenly, and for good.

Soon, Luttrell is hunkered in the mountains with his comrades: Michael Murphy (Taylor Kitsch), Danny Dietz (Emile Hirsch), and Matt “Axe” Axelson (Ben Foster). All seems to be going well until the moment they encounter the villagers; the ensuing debate is a painful one. At the end, we see photos of the actual casualties of Operation Red Wings.

It does not seem gratuitous, and no further explanation or exposition is given, or needed. Again, the best thing about Berg’s work here is its simplicity. – The Associated Press

QUICK CRITIC “The Nut Job” STARRING: The voices of Will Arnett, Brendan Fraser and Liam Neeson PLOT: Surly, a curmudgeon, independent squirrel, is banished from his park and forced to survive in the city. Lucky for him, he stumbles on the one thing that may be able to save his life, and the rest of park community, as they gear up for winter – Maury’s Nut Store.

RATED: PG for mild action and rude humor TIME: 1 hour, 26 minutes VERDICT: “The Nut Job” certainly looks nice. Colors are vibrant, particularly the reddish autumn shades of trees in Liberty Park, in fictional Oakton City, where much of the action takes place. There’s a lovely moment where shimmering water reflects the leaves above.

And the whole thing has a period feel – mid-20th century – which is appealing, though confusing, too, when you see characters break into what looks like very 21st-century

dancing at one point. Like most animated films these days, “The Nut Job,” a joint Canadian-South Korean-U.S. production, trades on its celebrity voices, which here include Katherine Heigl, Brendan Fraser, Will Arnett, Maya Rudolph and, most recognizably, Liam Neeson, who sometimes sounds like he could be on a Shakespearean stage. Not that you could call this dialogue Shakespearean. Or even witty. This being a film about squirrels and their nuts, kids will enjoy the “nut” puns, and parents will groan. – The

“That Awkward Moment” STARRING: Zac Efron, Michael B. Jordan, Miles Teller

PLOT: Three best friends ind themselves where we’ve all been – at that confusing moment in every dating relationship when you have to decide “So ... where is this going?”

RATED: R for sexual content and language throughout

TIME: 1 hour, 34 minutes VERDICT: As Zac Efron tears up and professes his love to a pert blonde who gave it up on the irst night, it’s clear the story line of romantic comedy “That Awkward Moment” has gone too far. This is not because Efron’s leading lady isn’t captivating or that a fella can’t fall in love swiftly. But this revelatory moment required a compelling buildup – and an actor who could carry it out believably. For his irst ilm, writer-director Tom Gormican attempts a chick lick from a male point of view. But unlike successful ilms of this kind, such as “High Fidelity,” “Awkward Moment” unfolds like a college thesis with a big budget. Jason (Efron) is a Manhattan pretty boy who designs book covers. He believes in having a “roster” of women and picks them up at bars and takes them home that night. Miles Teller plays Jason’s quirky best friend, co-worker and fellow lothario, Daniel. The third link in the guys’ crew is Mikey (Michael B. Jordan, “Fruitvale Station”), a doctor who married

his college sweetheart at 23. He’s the voice of reason – level-headed, loyal and romantic. But when he inds out wife Vera (Jessica Lucas) is cheating on him, he can’t understand where his perfect life plan went wrong. Determined to lift their pal’s spirits, Jason and Daniel take Mikey to a bar and encourage him to become their lady-killing cohort as they all make a pact to stay relationship-free.

Unfortunately, they all end up breaking the pact: Jason falls for sassy publisher Ellie (Imogen Poots); Daniel realizes he wants to be more than friends with Chelsea; and Mikey begins sleeping with his wife again. Though “Awkward Moment” is predictable, it’s not a complete disappointment. It’s satisfying for a lover of formulaic rom-coms. There are amusing moments of absurdity involving Viagra and urination. And sweet bits, such as Jason’s surprise tour of Ellie’s dream Gramercy Park apartment.

And there’s an attempt to inject some heaviness as Ellie’s father dies. – The Associated Press

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

Describing the fit

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Daisy Donovan, an American-born English television presenter, actress and writer, said, “All Bridget Jones did was give us a word for it (living alone) – singleton – which was the worst possible thing.”

In bridge, though, being able to show a singleton is sometimes the best possible thing a player can do. Look at today’s North hand.

After South opens one heart, what should North respond?

The North hand is strong enough to force to game. It contains 14 support points (11 high-card and three for the singleton, given the known nine-card or better fit) and only seven losers (the number for a raise to game).

If you use the Jacoby Forcing Raise, you could respond two no-trump, but it is much better to jump to four diamonds, a splinter bid announcing at least game-going values, four or more hearts and a singleton (or void) in diamonds.

That reduces South’s losers to three: one spade, one heart and one club. He now knows that, if necessary, he can ruff his low diamonds on the board.

South then uses some form of Blackwood to find out that his partner has the missing aces and spade king (never splinter with a singleton king) and bids seven hearts. After West leads the diamond king, how should South plan the play?

The only danger is a 4-0 trump split. If East has all four hearts, declarer is down. But if West has them, South is safe as long as he starts with his trump king (or queen), keeping dummy’s ace and 10 over West’s jack.

When East shows out, declarer finesses in hearts through West and claims all the tricks via two spades, five hearts, one diamond and five clubs.

ADVICE

Family’s ties begin to fray over man’s anger Dear Abby: My husband is a hard worker, a good provider and a good dad. However, he’s angry all the time.

It has been this way for as long as I can remember. He is aware of it, and always promises me that when this or that settles down, things will get better, but they never do.

Often when he thinks things the kids and I do are not good enough, he borders on being verbally abusive.

His friends say I’m a “saint” for putting up with him, but lately all I feel is tired out and worn down by it.

I’m not sure how much longer I can last. He reads your column, and I’m hoping he’ll see this and realize how bad things really are. I have asked him to go to counseling, but he hasn’t been willing. Do you think there’s anything I can do besides leaving that will make him see what he is doing to me and the kids? – Ready To Leave Dear Ready To Leave: Your husband may be a good provider and a hard worker, but I seriously question whether he is as good a dad as you would like to think. Children need their parents’ encouragement and

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips approval, as well as their patience and counsel. When they are given a constant barrage of angry putdowns from a parent, they begin to internalize it.

They think such behavior is normal, which means they will repeat it in their relationships when they are older. Or, they may think they deserve to be treated that way and choose mates who treat them like Dad did.

There is something you can do besides leave right now. Make an appointment for YOURSELF with a licensed psychotherapist and take the children with you.

Dear Abby: I’m engaged to be married soon, and I’m concerned about a commitment my fiance, “Jeff,” made to his older sister “Beth.” Beth is planning on having a child through a sperm donor and has asked Jeff to be a “father figure” once the child is born.

He has doubts about the wisdom of

her plan to parent a child alone, but he doesn’t want to hurt her feelings and is flattered to have been asked to fulfill such an important task. He agreed to do it without discussing it with me.

Jeff and I plan on having several children of our own, and we also plan to move out of state in the next few years.

I am wondering how this commitment will affect that possibility. I’m worried that this will cause conflict in our marriage. Am I overreacting? I know I need to discuss this with my fiance.

How do you suggest I proceed? – Unsure In The Midwest Dear Unsure: You’re not overreacting, and I agree that before this goes any further, you and Jeff need to talk.

Suggest he talk to his sister and find out EXACTLY what she meant when she asked him to be a father figure. He also needs to tell her he may have spoken too soon when he agreed, because he had not first discussed it with you and that the two of you plan to leave the state in the next few years.

Heart failure is manageable, sometimes unpredictable Dear Doctor K: My doctor says I have heart failure. Are there symptoms I should be looking out for that would indicate my condition is getting worse?

Dear Reader: The term “heart failure” is often misunderstood. People think it means their heart is going to suddenly stop pumping. When that happens, that’s not “heart failure”; it’s a cardiac arrest – and it’s fatal unless the heart can be restarted. In heart failure, the heart continues to pump, but it’s just not pumping as efficiently as it needs to.

The heart does just one thing, but that thing is of life-or-death importance: It pumps blood to every cell in the body. The blood carries sources of energy (like oxygen and sugar) to each cell, and it carries away from each cell its waste products. That needs to happen constantly, every second of your life.

When the circulation of the blood is not as efficient as it should be, a person develops symptoms. The most common are fatigue, shortness of breath and swelling in the legs.

The fatigue and shortness of breath

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff are caused by lower-than-normal levels of oxygen and other sources of energy in the blood. The swelling in the legs comes from the buildup of fluid in the body. And that’s caused by a failure of the kidneys to make as much urine as they should, due to the poor circulation of blood through them.

(I’ve put an illustration highlighting common symptoms of heart failure on my website, AskDoctorK.com.)

Heart failure is often a manageable condition. Taking medications, balancing exercise and rest, following a low-sodium diet and being careful about fluid intake can help keep it in check. But heart failure can be unpredictable. After a long stretch of being under control, it can flare up, and even require a hospital stay.

Sometimes these flare-ups come from out of the blue, caused by an infection or a medication. Most of the time, though, they creep up, announc-

ing themselves with subtle changes, such as being more tired than usual or quickly gaining several pounds.

Call your doctor if you notice any of these warning signs of heart failure: • Sudden weight gain (2 to 3 pounds in one day or 5 or more pounds in one week). The extra weight comes from the buildup of fluid, not from extra fat.

• Increased swelling in the feet or ankles.

• Swelling or pain in the abdomen.

• Shortness of breath at rest, or increased shortness of breath with exercise.

• Discomfort or trouble breathing when lying flat.

• Waking up at night feeling short of breath, and having to sit up to catch your breath.

• Increased fatigue.

Most important, stay in close communication with your doctor and health care team. Together you can catch changes in your condition early and help avoid complications.

Teen choosing marriage, motherhood over college Dr. Wallace: Jose is 19, and I’m 18 and will graduate from high school this June. Jose and I plan to get married. I get good grades, but I don’t want to go to college. I want to be a wife and a mother.

Jose works for his uncle repairing automobiles. He is very good at it and earns enough money to support a family. I had planned to attend a community college for accounting and then, if all went well, transfer to Texas El Paso University, but love got in the way.

My parents are unhappy that I will not be attending college because they are both professionals. My dad teaches at Texas El Paso University, and my mother is a principal of an elementary school. Dr. Wallace, this guy is my true love and he feels the same about me.

We have our minds made up, and nothing short of death will change our decision. Do you see anything that could be wrong with Jose and I becoming husband and wife this coming June or July? – Maria, El Paso, Tex. Dear Maria: I see nothing wrong with marrying Jose after you graduate as long as your marriage won’t disintegrate due to financial hardship. But I would also urge you not to give up on college. If Jose is against this, I can understand your parents’ concern. I hope this is not the case.

Dr. Wallace: I read your column all the time, and I’ve noticed letters from teens who are harassed and teased because they are overweight. I can’t help but remember the case of a 14-year-old girl who was overweight and was called names by her own family.

In fact, her father frequent-

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace ly called her a blimp and her brother referred to her as a whale. I have the opposite problem. I’m 13 and have a very slender build.

I do not have an eating disorder. I have a healthy appetite. It so happens that I also have a very high metabolism rate. Because I’m slender, I’m often the butt of someone’s joke.

I’ve been called Olive Oyl (Popeye’s girlfriend) as well as Slim, Bony, Skinny and Bean Pole. My mother says I should ignore these rude comments, but I find that difficult to do. Probably the most irritating thing is to be called “skinny.” Slender people dislike that tag the same way heavy people dislike “fatty.” I hope you print my letter. The slim people of the world will be grateful. When people are harassing me or making fun of me, I promised my mother I’d do my best to ignore them. But what do I say to those who call me “skinny,” but don’t realize it upsets me? – Beth, Louisville, Ky. Dear Beth: Simply say that instead of being referred to as “skinny,” you would prefer the term “slender.” Most people will respect your request. Of course, it’s difficult to be subjected to verbal harassment by ignorant people, but Mother is 100 percent correct. When you ignore these insensitive louts, they’ll eventually turn their attention elsewhere.

‘Gloria’: Making love and mistakes

By STEPHANIE MERRY The Washington Post Whether you’re 16 or 65, new relationships stir up the same sparks of excitement and the same lapses in judgment.

That’s the gist of “Gloria,” the delightful Chilean drama about middle-age love between characters who have maturity on their side but still prove we’re all amateurs when it comes to relationships.

Paulina Garcia practically pops off the screen as Gloria, a woman whose bubbly buoyancy can’t quite mask her loneliness. Her two adult children don’t always call her back, but she stays busy with work and yoga. Most nights, she heads to the local disco where she usually ends up swaying solo on the dance floor, her sex appeal nearly obscured by oversized plastic glasses.

It’s there she meets Rodolfo (Sergio Hernandez), a recent divorce who picks her up with the brightly disarming line, “are you always this happy?” Despite a fumbling first conversation, the buttoned-up businessman and Gloria quickly settle into a serious relationship that includes dinner parties with friends and paintball target practice, passionate sex and poetry readings for two.

At first, things are easy. But while Gloria fully embraces new experiences and people, Rodolfo is cagey. He won’t even tell his two daughters he has a girlfriend.

And before you know it, spiderweb cracks emerge in a foundation that seemed effortlessly solid.

With the exception of Nancy Meyers’ movies (“It’s Complicated,” “Something’s Gotta Give”), love stories about 50- and 60-year-olds are a rarity onscreen, and nudity with middle-aged actors is practically unheard of.

We’re so used to seeing young, lithe bodies stripping down in movies that a glimpse of naked humans who look like actual people can be a little jarring. But there’s a point to writer-director Sebastian Lelio’s naturalism: Gloria and Rodolfo experience the same awkwardness and electric charge as any new couple, regardless of how many times they’ve been around the block.

Paulina Garcia stars in the Chilean drama “Gloria.”

The film’s great revelation is Garcia, who’s best known in her native Chile for theater acting and directing. She’s a master at conveying nuances of emotion. When Rodolfo takes a call on his cellphone during the middle of their first date, her firmly plastered smile imparts both an extreme effort to seem happy and a simmering annoyance.

Gloria is a complex person, and the movie takes its time revealing her. Even a tiny scene of routine, where Gloria slathers on a thick veneer of night cream before bed, rounds out her character: She’s a woman who cares about her looks

even while she hides behind huge glasses.

There are a few missteps in the movie, including a discordant moment of jealousy.

But for the most part, “Gloria” is a day brightener of a character study about finding someone new and making the same old mistakes.

• “Gloria” received three out of four stars. The film is rated R and contains sexual content, some graphic nudity, drug use and strong language. It is in Spanish with subtitles and runs 110 minutes.
