Mapping out the future Officials identify Joliet’s strengths, weaknesses

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com Joliet City Council members and city officials took the first step of many in mapping out the city’s future as they met Tuesday night for the first of two brainstorming sessions.

Craig Rapp, a senior associate at the Center for Governmental Studies at Northern Illinois University who the city hired as a consultant to guide the process, led the session, which began at 6 p.m. at Fire Station 1, 101 E. Clinton St. The meeting was open to the public. About 10 members of the public were in attendance.

New City Manager Jim Hock, who took the job in November, first suggested the idea of a long-term strategy session during his interview for the position last year.

The hope, Rapp explained Tuesday, is to help council members and city officials to make wise budget decisions with a long-term plan in mind.

Rapp, who’s also a for-

mer city manager, said pinpointing the city’s various strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats would help establish priorities. That was the focus Tuesday night.

“You have focus,” Rapp said before asking council members and city officials to break off into smaller groups.

“We all want to do everything possible to help the community, but there is only a limited amount of money. There’s only a limited amount a time.

We have to focus.”

City Attorney Jeff Plyman, who spoke for his group, noted some of the city’s weaknesses, including employment practices, labor relations and patronage within the city’s workforce.

“We were looking at things that we prefer to be different about our internal operations. Not so much about the town, but things that happen without our organizations and departments. ...

We ran out of time. We really did need more time to do this because there are so many apparently,” Plyman said.

“There were a few comments that, like many political or-

ganizations, new hires are based on who you know, not what you know, that there’s insufficient diversity in hiring.”

The city’s opportunities included tourism efforts, transportation and commercial development. Another group pointed out threats, including outsiders’ perception of Joliet as an older community and as a blighted area.

Rapp asked participants about their hopes and fears in developing a long-term plan.

City Finance Director Rachel Mayer said she is worried about finding the money to accomplish everything.

“Honestly, I do fear that there won’t be enough money to do all the things that we want to do,” Mayer said. “But I do hope we get some clear direction [with these sessions].”

With this week’s two strategy sessions, city staff will take the priorities established by the council and come back with spending plans to meet the goals. Those plans could reshape the budget approved by council members in December.

Township considers no-confidence vote on Plainfield Township Board

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – The Plainfield Township Board may give a vote of no confidence to the Plainfield Park District Board at Wednesday’s meeting, township Supervisor Tony Fremarek said.

The township board is scheduled to discuss the park district board’s performance at the meeting.

The park district has been through a rough month, including the resignation of controversial Executive Director Garrett Peck, a state finding that the district violated labor laws, and accusations of

corruption within the park board.

“We have some serious concerns about the effect it would have on the senior program and we’re going to discuss the resolution,” Fremarek said about the turmoil and distractions on the park district Tony board.

Fremarek The township and park district share jurisdiction in all senior programs. Both share the salary of Senior Coordinator Kathy Whalen.

Township Trustee Matthew

Starr spoke against the actions of the park district’s majority board members during public comment at the district’s Feb. 4 board meeting.

He singled out park district board Vice President Janet Silosky for demanding that the Plainfield Township Republican Organization support the district’s board majority, including Silosky, President Peter Hurtado and Commissioner Peter Steinys.

The township board meeting is scheduled for 6 p.m.

Wednesday at the township administration building, 22525 W. Lockport St., Plainfield.

Joliet Cyborgs program shows off complex robot

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com

• Wednesday, February 12, 2014 *

JOLIET – Zurg whizzed around a carpet before grasping a large exercise ball with its giant claw. The complex robot clenched the ball with a pinching finger and lifted it high before punching it into a boxed goal Tuesday afternoon at Joliet Township High School Administrative Center.

With chrome-colored pistons and slick wires connecting robot parts like tendons in a body, Zurg looks like a mechanical prototype created by a college team of researching engineers.

But Zurg is the result of design, building and programming all done by more than 30 high school students through the Joliet Cyborgs program. The robot was built to participate in a robot game called Aerial Assist as part of an international competition, FIRST Robotics Competition.

“I’m really proud of our team, what it has accomplished,” said sophomore Miguel Gutierrez, project leader of the Joliet Cyborgs, which is in its third year. “It performed really well.”

The group of high schoolers invited the community to watch Tuesday as they commended individuals who contributed to the after-school program and demonstrated the capabilities of Zurg.

Joliet Township High School science teacher Tom Connelly explained how Zurg works, while a Joliet Cyborg student controlled the robot, demonstrating its steering and speed capabilities.

Currently, Zurg can pick up exercise balls and push them to pass or shoot into a goal. But the group is working on prototypes for high launch capabilities.

Connelly, a mentor for the group who worked with the programming team, said the

“When we started, some of the kids didn’t know about programming at all,” Connelly said. “But it’s only the fifth week. This is what they’ve built.”

The group was divided into six different teams, design, build, pneumatics, program, media and electronics. Some of the difficulties of the robot building process involved fixing problems with all aspects of the project.

“Troubleshooting was the hardest part,” said sophomore Eric Nunez, who has aspirations to become an electrical or computer science engineer.

“But it’s fun to do. I’m really interested, and this will help build support for my future.”

“Probably the biggest thing was being able to rebound quickly from a problem.”

Naesha Arroyo Joliet Township High School sophomore Sophomore Naesha Arroyo has never done something like building a robot before.

But it was fun, exciting and challenging.

“It’s my first year, so I’ve learned a lot from a lot of people,” Arroyo said. “Probably the biggest thing was being able to rebound quickly from a problem.”

The students were men-

tored by high school district teachers and local engineers from companies that sponsored the program, including Caterpillar, Inc., Vulcan Materials, KWM Gutterman and R. Berti Building Solutions.

Bob Tota, plant manager for Vulcan Materials and cochair of Joliet Cyborgs, said the program helps reinforce the importance of mathematics and science.

“Seeing the students from last year step up, to see that leadership is great,” Tota said. “This really is like a mini-business. And they create business plans to accomplish a task.”

Ken Minor, the owner of KWM and program mentor, thinks Joliet Cyborgs helps the long-term future of the

manufacturing industry.

“The opportunity to mentor these children into a manufacturing area will help out,” said Minor, who manufactured parts of Zurg for the program. “And sometimes it’s humbling how smart these kids really are.”

Carol Collins, co-chair of Joliet Cyborgs, said working with professionals helps students learn real world skills.

“We recognize the amount of time they dedicate to the students and how much they want them to succeed,” Collins said.

Joliet Cyborgs will bring Zurg to the UIC Pavilion in Chicago to compete in The FIRST Robotics Competition Midwest Regional on April 4 and 5.

Barber school has unique student body

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com CREST HILL – Bobby Mattison’s Barber Shop is down at the end of “State and Madison.”

“Streets” were given that name decades ago for the volume of people walking back and forth.

With 14 stations there isn’t much of a wait, even though almost all appointments are scheduled in advance. There’s a poster on the office window displaying pictures of hairstyles 1 to 24.

Anthony Thomas cuts at Chair #1 where Tuesday morning’s conversation included some debate over the attractiveness of famous actresses and a joke about a talented frog.

But like every barber shop, the focus was on sports.

“How you think the Cubs or White Sox are going to do?” Thomas asked his first customer.

“How long are you in here until?” he was asked in response.

“2030,” the man convicted of attempted murder answered while holding a pair of scissors.

“Maybe they’ll win by then,” his client said.

“Oh, I hope not,” Thomas laughed before he went back to trimming.

Thomas and 14 other inmates of Stateville Correctional Center are learning to cut hair from Mattison. While the prison has had a barber shop for years, felons were prohibited from receiving a barber’s license until laws were changed last year.

After 1,500 hours in the program, inmates will be qualified to take the state board exam for barbers upon their release.

Lathan Goumas – lathangoumas@shawmedia.com

Willie Walker prepares to cut the hair of Nathaniel Tucker on Tuesday in the barber school at the Stateville Correctional Center in Crest Hill.

The barber training program has been part of the prison for more than 30 years but in November 2013 inmates who complete the program are eligible to be licensed by the state.

“When someone goes back into society with a job skill, there’s less chance of recidivism when they have a way to earn a living,” Illinois Department of Corrections spokesman Tom Shaer said.

“It’s a benefit to them and a benefit to the taxpayers.”

Work assignments still are desired by inmates, Mattison said. To apply for the barber program, prisoners must have a diploma or GED, score well on reading and math tests and interview with Mattison.

“Some guys just want to get out of their cell, but these

guys want to learn how to do something productive, something respectable,” Mattison said. Violent and nonviolent offenders are accepted.

Prisoners get one or two haircuts a month, which are free. The barbers are not tipped, but “I’ll get you next time” is a common joke around the shop.

The equipment inventory is monitored by guards. Prison barbers are not allowed razors, but have mockups for instructive purposes.

“There’s five chapters to get through before you even

touch the clippers,” Mattison said. “You need to learn the history of barbering, sanitation, property of skin.”

Thomas feels the program has given him self-esteem that’s as important as the skills he’s learned.

“Coming from an impoverished neighborhood [Chicago’s Bronzeville] I didn’t see a lot of men working while I was growing up,” he said.

“When you have customers who want to have you cut their hair again. What you’re doing is important. There’s a pride in what you do.”

Besides learning about hair, Thomas has learned “people are funny about their hair,” but when they become comfortable with a barber or stylist they view them as a friend or counselor.

Mattison instructs his students to introduce themselves to and learn the name of anyone who sits in their chair.

“We have a 99 percent completion rate and learning about customer service is as important as learning about hair when they’re ready to work [after being released],” Mattison said.

WHEN SOMEONE GOES BACK INTO SOCIETY WITH A JOB SKILL, THERE’S LESS CHANCE OF RECIDIVISM WHEN THEY HAVE A WAY TO EARN A LIVING.” Tom Shaer, Illinois Departmenet of Corrections spokesman

New Lenox sets zoning rules for medical marijuana

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com NEW LENOX – Village officials in New Lenox have amended their zoning laws to allow medical marijuana cultivation centers and dispensaries in the area.

New Lenox and other municipalities are amending zoning codes to accommodate the state medical marijuana law that became effective Jan. 1.

“Now that the state has made this legal, if anyone does approach us, it allows restrictions to areas that make sense,” New Lenox Mayor Tim Baldermann said.

No one has approached village officials about running a cultivation center or dispensary in the area, he said.

A group of business people did approach Joliet officials in January about a possible cultivation center for medical marijuana there. Joliet also has amended its zoning codes for medical marijuana facilities.

Cities and villages such as

New Lenox across the state have been given the ability to enact their own zoning regulations for cultivation centers and dispensaries.

State law allows for only 22 cultivation centers – authorized to grow, harvest and distribute medical marijuana – in Illinois, one for each state police district. The law also allows for only 60 dispensaries in the state, which would sell the product to qualifying patients or state-approved caregivers. It requires locations of cultivation centers and dispensaries in cities to be located at certain distances from schools, daycare facilities and residential areas.

Under New Lenox’s code, cultivation centers would need to be 2,500 feet away from schools, some residential areas, day care centers, public parks, churches or other places of worship. Dispensaries would need to be 1,000 feet away from the same areas under the village’s code.

JOLIET – A Beecher man was sentenced to four years of sex offender probation Tuesday after pleading guilty to downloading child pornography.

Prosecutors were seeking prison time for David J. Zalewski, 44, who entered a blind plea in exchange for two of the three counts against him being dropped.

In July 2011, Zalewski was arrested as part of “Operation Glass House,” a year-long investigation that monitored Internet Protocol addresses of David J. computers Zalewski used to distribute child pornography.

Among the videos found on Zalewski’s computer

was one of an adult having sex with an infant, according to court records.

Judge Edward Burmilla ruled Zalewski will have to register as a sex offender and report regularly for his probation.

Probation officers will be allowed access to Zalewski’s home to confirm he is not using the Internet for anything outside of work or using email or text messages for “work or home” purposes.

JOLIET – A judge found a Frankfort police officer guilty of domestic battery Tuesday for choking a former girlfriend in 2012 at her Mokena home.

Donald Walsh, 30, of Monee was found guilty of two misdemeanor counts at the conclusion of a bench trial before Judge Edward Burmilla. Burmilla tossed an “aggravated” aspect to one of the battery charges because he felt the evidence did not show Walsh tried to “strangle” the woman while he placed her in a chokehold.

On July 25, 2012, Walsh and the then-31-year-old woman fought at her home, and the woman’s 9-year-old daughter called police. Walsh said he was trying to restrain his girlfriend, but did not attack her, according to reports. He was arrested and suspended without pay from the Frankfort police the next day.

Burmilla said the victim’s testimony during Walsh’s trial was “embellished and evasive,” and it was “indisputable ... there was mutual combat” between the former couple.

“But even a person acting

in self-defense can go too far and, based not on her testimony but on her injuries and the Mokena officers’ testimony, that’s what happened here,” Burmilla said. “The defendant was not confronted with deadly force.”

The judge said Walsh’s conduct disrespected the Frankfort police, put Mokena officers at risk and “brought public disdain” on all of law enforcement.

Frankfort Mayor Jim Holland, who attended court Tuesday, said Donald he believes Walsh Walsh’s conviction will get him fired from the department and prevent him from being hired as a police officer elsewhere.

“I am sorry for the victim and her family and want to thank Special Prosecutor Dave Neal for pursuing a difficult case to the end,” Holland said.

Walsh is scheduled to be sentenced March 11. He also is charged separately in a pending case with threatening the woman during a phone conversation a month before the night he was arrested.

NAIL PROBLEMS One of the more frequent prolems people relate to foot specialists is deformed nails. Deformed nails can result from an injurty to the nail, in-growing corners of the nail, fungus in the nail and many other conditions. Nail deformities can be painful, they can make shoe itting diicult, and they can cause infections and irritations.

As with most health conditions, prevention is the key to good foot and nail health. Simple things may be done to prevent nail problems including: proper cutting of the nails (cut them strait across), wearing well-itted shoe gear, and proper foot hygiene to precent fungus and bacterial infections.

Regardless of how careful one may be, nail problems can still develop. Treatment for these problems is based on the underlying cause. Some conditions may require simple trimming of the toenail(s), antibiotics, anti-fungal medications and possible surgical intervention. Nail conditions can be very painful and potentially dangerous to overall foot health. In most cases, they are treated efectively with conservative care and pain can oten be alleviated the day of your visit. If you or anyone you know sufers from this or any foot or ankle prolem, please contact your foot and ankle specialist at the Foot and Ankle Health Center.

Q: A:

The most common form of arthritis is osteoarthritis, also known as degenerative arthritis.

It affects about half of all arthritis sufferers.

When it strikes the feet, it can be particularly distressing. Although there is little soft tissue swelling, joints often become enlarged, stiff and painful. Anti-inflammatory drugs may be prescribed for the pain, and certain exercises can relieve some of the pressure by strengthening muscles around the joints.

Waling and rolling an empty soft drink bottle under the foot are often useful techniques.

Your doctor may also perform ultrasound or heat treatments. For more advanced, debilitating cases, surgery may be recommended to remove bony particles or replace the joint with an artificial implant.

P.S. Two people with similar joint degeneration can have totally different symptoms, such as intense pain or no pain at all.

Q: Is there a connection between hearing loss and heart disease?

How do you treat arthritis in your feet?

- ASK THE EXPERTS! -

Karen Pastell, Au.D. Doctor of Audiology

A: The inner ear is extremely sensitive to blood flow.

Studies have shown that a healthy cardiovascular system - a person’s heart, arteries and veins - has a positive effect on hearing. Conversely, inadequate blood flow and trauma to the blood vessels of the inner ear can contribute to hearing loss. According to the Better Hearing Institute, one study indicated that the prevalence of hearing loss is greater among those who have a history of heart disease than in the general population. Another study suggested that low frequency hearing loss may be potential indicator of heart disease. February is Heart Month and may be a good time to also have your hearing checked by an audiologist.

Grundy contingency fund taxed

By JESSICA BOURQUE jbourque@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Natural disasters, budget uncertainties and unexpected projects are weighing heavy on the Grundy County contingency fund.

The contingency fund is a budget line item reserved for unplanned expenditures, such as unforeseen projects, problems or disasters.

Since Nov. 30 – the beginning of the fiscal year – the county has had more than a few surprises. Grundy County already has spent more than $11,000 of its rainy day money, according to Grundy County Treasurer Marcy Miller.

“It seems like we keep dipping into those funds a little more every meeting,” Grundy County Board Vice President David Welter said at Monday’s Finance Committee meeting.

Most recently, the county was asked to promise $20,000 for a buyout project involving flood-damaged homes near Minooka and Tabler roads.

The fund was pressed again Monday when residents from Prairie Oaks Subdivision asked

the finance committee for funding to finish a sewage project.

The 37 residences in Prairie Oaks have experienced sanitary complications for years and are under an Illinois Environmental Protection Agency mandate to fix the problem, which costs about $925,000 and will involve connecting the subdivision to Coal City’s water treatment plant. The village of Coal City was awarded a $329,000 community block grant to help pay for the project. The remaining $596,000 will be funded through a tax agreement between the homeowners and the village.

But $105,000 is needed for the decommission and tearing down of the existing sewage plant, which would not be covered by the community grant or tax increase. If the homeowners can’t come up with the money, the project can’t move forward.

The residents are asking the county to pay all of or a percentage of the remaining $105,000, which would have to come out of the contingency fund.

The committee discussed contributing $20,000, leaving the remaining $85,000 to be paid by the homeowners.

Rutherford suit worries watchdog groups

By SOPHIA TAREEN The Associated Press CHICAGO – While a federal lawsuit against Illinois Treasurer Dan Rutherford has publicized salacious sexual harassment allegations, government watchdog groups say the lawsuit’s claims of political corruption are just as worrisome as the Republican campaigns for governor.

Rutherford, who has strongly denied allegations leveled by a former employee, is locked in a four-way Republican primary. He spent Tuesday – the day after the lawsuit’s filing – countering the claims in radio appearances. He maintained that the suit is a politically motivated ploy meant to hurt his campaign weeks ahead of the March 18 contest.

In the lawsuit, Edmund Michalowski, a former lawyer and director in Rutherford’s office, alleges a “long-standing pattern” of being forced to engage in political activity while working for the state.

Even the hint of such political corruption could taint

Rutherford ahead of the primary, and it raises troubling questions, experts say, especially in a state where two former governors – George Ryan and Rod Blagojevich – have gone to prison for corruption. “ I t ’ s t h e Dan q u e s t i o n o r Rutherford appearance and it really wears on the voters,” said Doug O’Brien, who was chief aide to U.S. Sen. Mark Kirk, R-Ill., while he was an Illinois congressman. “The voters of Illinois are just so tired of having to put up with a lower standard for ethics among their elected officials.”

According to the lawsuit, Rutherford allegedly demanded Michalowski organize petition drives and parades, solicit donations and constantly check his political email account while at work. Michalowski claims he was berated for not meeting fundraising goals and that employees active on Rutherford’s campaign received raises and promotions.

Rey Lopez-Calderon, executive director Common Cause Illinois, said the claims raise questions about a culture of bullying.

“If he runs the treasurer’s office like that, is he going to be pushing around his [governor’s office] staff into doing this that they are not supposed to?” he said. “That’s a deeper question that should be center to his ability to be the next governor.”

Political experts say the issue could hurt Rutherford with fundraising and organizing. State Sen. Kirk Dillard, one of his GOP primary rivals, asked Rutherford on Monday at a candidate forum about the potential for more allegations. Rutherford called the question “inappropriate.” The other GOP candidates are Bruce Rauner and state Sen. Bill Brady.

Rutherford called a news conference hours after the lawsuit was filed.

“No treasurer’s office employee in this administration has been pressured ... or otherwise coerced into performing any political activity,” Rutherford said. “Employees

such as Michalowski have volunteered to perform political activity on their own time and using their own resources.”

While state law expressly prohibits political activity on the state’s expense, the two activities can intertwine.

Government employees often get their start on campaigns or choose to work for a particular elected official based on political ideology, experts say. It’s not uncommon for government employees to schedule vacation around elections to go door-knocking, volunteer weekends to distribute yard signs or use a lunch break to check campaign emails.

However, the two activities should not be confused, better government groups say.

“It’s so clearly unacceptable and against the law,” said Susan Garrett, a former state lawmaker and chairwoman of the Illinois Campaign for Political Reform.

“You can’t go back and forth between campaigns and doing state work and ask the taxpayers to cover your cost.”

cent last year, Attorney General Lisa Madigan said Tuesday.

Madigan said her office received about 3,000 complaints in 2013, up from about 2,500 the year before. They were part of more than 20,500 complaints submitted to the office last year.

A major increase in complaints came from reports of data breaches, which rose 1,600 percent to 576 from 33 the previous year.

Madigan attributes that increase in part to hackers who stole millions of consumers’ data from Target Corp., which prompted many consumers to find fraudulent charges on

their bank accounts and credit cards.

“Identity theft is perhaps the most damaging financial scam that affects people today,” Madigan said in the statement.

“The harm being done to consumers is too great to allow these breaches to continue without a concerted effort by both the government and the private sector to stop them from happening.”

In 2013, Madigan said her office received about 4,300 complaints involving consumer debt an almost 1,900 complaints about telecommunications services.

Christie: Bridge scandal won’t impede work

By THOMAS BEAUMONT The Associated Press CHICAGO – Landslide re-election behind him and a possible presidential bid ahead, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie was forced Tuesday to talk instead about the bridge-closing scandal that has haunted his debut as a national political leader and sparked talk about whether he can withstand the scrutiny.

Asked about the flap, Christie told a crowd of influential Chicago-area business executives that he found the matter disappointing but not a distraction from his agenda.

“While the last six weeks have not been the most enjoyable of my life, the fact is we have to do our work,” Christie told about 1,600 people at the Economic Club of Chicago.

It was the only question about the scandal posed to Christie during his first major public appearance since the January news conference in which he acknowledged that his administration had ordered lanes leading to the George Washington Bridge closed in September. Ahead of the event the Republican Governors Association, of which Christie is the elected president, touted his fundraising prowess for other GOP candidates.

“If there’s more action that needs to be taken, I’ll take it,” Christie said in Chicago. “But it won’t curtail for the long term a second-term agenda.”

The hourlong question-and-answer session at a downtown hotel ballroom was supposed to be about Christie the national political figure and possible 2016 presidential contender. But the bridge closure lingered, and showed no signs of abating.

As Christie spoke, about a dozen New Jersey residents returned to the scene of a notorious traffic jam, urging people to sign a petition demanding Christie’s resignation.

House passes debt ceiling increase

By ANDREW TAYLOR The Associated Press WASHINGTON – House Republicans backed away from a battle over the government’s debt cap Tuesday and permitted President Barack Obama’s Democratic allies to drive quick passage of a measure to increase the government’s borrowing cap without any concessions from the White House.

The 221-201 vote came hours after Speaker John Boehner announced that his fractured party would relent.

Just 28 Republicans voted for the measure, including Boehner. But 193 Democrats more than compensated for the low support among Republicans.

The move risks more displeasure from the tea party but came after most Republicans in the House made clear they had no taste for another high-stakes fight with President Barack

Obama over the nation’s debt ceiling, which must be raised so the government can borrow money to pay all of its bills.

The bill would permit the Treasury Department to borrow normally for another 13 months, diffusing the chance of a debt crisis well past the November elections and providing time for a newly elected Congress to decide how to handle the issue.

Just Monday, Republicans suggested pairing the debt measure with legislation to roll back a recent cut in the inflation adjustment of pension benefits for working age military retirees. Democrats insisted on a debt measure completely clean of unrelated legislation.

“The full faith and credit [of the United States] should be unquestioned and it is not negotiable,” said House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif.

SPRINGFIELD – The phone call came the other day as I drove to work.

A tired, sad voice said, “Scott there’s going to be another murder trial.”

My shoulders sagged. My 3-year-old daughter fidgeted in the backseat. And my mind was suddenly remembering a night of horror 24 years earlier.

I could still hear my editor’s voice from that day, Sept. 17, 1990.

The radio squawked, and he asked me to check out a small fire near a school playground. I didn’t think much of the assignment. Some kids had probably set some trash on fire. But I was a young reporter on the night cops beat chasing whatever happened – car accidents, thunderstorms and crime.

I pulled up to the school playground – REEDER REPORT right behind the first Scott police car. Wisps of smoke were rising Reeder from the tall grass. I walked with the police officer toward the small fire.

We looked down and saw a child’s body burning.

A stench filled my nostrils.

Bad things like this weren’t supposed to happen here – in a school playground in Davenport, Iowa.

I was weak to my knees. Bile worked its way up my throat.

A 10-year-old girl had been doused with accelerant – maybe gasoline.

I didn’t sleep that night.

Slumber remained elusive for many weeks to come.

Even today – 24 years later – when I look in the eyes of my three daughters, I’m sometimes reminded of the horror of that night.

My daughters are sometimes afraid of “monsters” under the bed or in the closet or behind the shower curtain. I reassure them and tell them monsters aren’t real.

But I know different.

Someone killed Jennifer Lewis.

A monster.

A man was arrested and locked up in the Rock Island County Jail. He got a retrial and was convicted again. And now my friend has told me an Iowa appellate court has given him a third trial.

I can’t speak to the man’s guilt or innocence.

Educated folks aren’t supposed to believe that evil is real. We talk about mental illness, bad upbringings, poverty, domestic abuse and other factors as reasons people do bad things.

That is how I saw the world before I encountered Jennifer Lewis on that playground. She’d be 34 now.

Not only was her life taken from us. A piece of our own innocence is gone, too.

Hold your children tight. Love and reassure them. But let Jennifer Lewis’ death be a reminder: Monsters are real.

ANOTHER VIEW

Michael Sam throws stereotypes for a loss Michael Sam is an All-American in more ways than one.

As an athlete, a team player and an NFL prospect from a hardscrabble background, Mr. Sam is impressive. As a college student, an African-American campus leader and a young man with a future, Mr. Sam is respected.

And now that the adjective gay will forever precede his name, and is there by his own choice, Mr. Sam has shown the courage and honesty that will put him in many personal halls of fame, no matter the direction of his athletic future.

That he had the guts to come out to his teammates months ago, to campus friends years ago and to the world Sunday, shows the core of Mr. Sam. These are the qualities that make a person an All-American in life, and not just on the playing field.

That he did this before April’s NFL draft, where he is predicted to be a mid-round selection, took an added dollop of gumption. Mr.

Sam, a defensive lineman for the Tigers and Mizzou’s first unanimous All-American in 50 years, told the media that he wanted to focus on playing football and graduating and didn’t want his sexuality to be a distraction.

“I want to own my own truth,” is the way Mr. Sam put it. And now he does.

No more hiding in the shadows, pretending to be something he isn’t. Mr. Sam, 24, is out, loud and proud. Good for him.

And good for his teammates, Coach Gary Pinkel and his staff, and athletic director Mike Alden.

They have given a textbook demonstration on how to handle what shouldn’t be – but still is – a delicate issue of a personal nature on a very public stage.

Other athletes have come out about their sexuality, but usually in the twilight of their careers, or even in retirement. Mr. Sam’s pro career is just dawning.

It’s great that the NFL says it

has his back. Greg Aiello, NFL senior vice president of communications, said in a statement: “We look forward to welcoming and supporting Michael Sam in 2014.”

Society is changing, as well as the culture of professional sports.

And changing, too, thanks in part to Mr. Sam, is the definition of a football player and a teammate.

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell has been working on heightening awareness in the league about sexual orientation and harassment. He sent a policy statement to coaches, team presidents and general managers last year saying anyone involved in drafting players or making personnel decisions “must not seek information” about their sexuality.

No one will have to wonder about Mr. Sam. He put it out there.

Now it’s up to a team to draft him and let him play the game. No questions asked.

Do the right thing and resign Hurtado

be recommending how staff can be redeployed to further your personal whims.

The park district is in much worse shape today than when you began your term as president. Staff fear for their jobs, well-established financial procedures are not being followed, qualified personnel have been relieved of their duties, the public is not being respected. You’ve had your chance to improve the district as you’ve seen fit. How’s that working out for you?

People want answers about the direction of the park district.

Commissioners want to know where you’d like to lead the district. What do we get? Silence.

When people request a response from you, when they genuinely want to help to improve the situation we’re in, what do they get?

Editor’s note: This is an open

letter to Peter Hurtado, president of the Plainfield Township Park District Board. It was requested to run as a letter to the editor in The Herald-News.

Dear Sir:

With regards to comments you made on WJOL on Feb. 10, do you really want the sideshow to end?

You have it within your control.

You are the president of the Board of Commissioners. That role has a certain amount of authority. You get to lead the elected commissioners to set policy and the long-term goals of the park district. You also are empowered to deal with public concerns and help solve their problems. As the leader of the board, you also get to represent the park district with other elected officials. Pretty sweet gig.

I know, because I’ve been there.

What the president of the park district isn’t empowered to do is interfere with the day to day operations. You should not be recommending people to be hired, you should not be recommending vendors to do work with the district, you should not

Silence. When the tough times arrive and the people deserve an explanation of what’s going on, don’t clam up claiming that a lawsuit is pending. And for God’s sake, stop playing the race card.

Why is it now we have absolute cooperation about the new executive director? Why are we now hearing about a push for ethics? Why now are we hearing about conducting an investigation to uncover any wrong doing?

Could it be because the walls are beginning to close in on you?

You have the ability to change the tone at the park district. You want the sideshow to end? Do the right thing. Resign and allow those of us remaining to clean up the mess you’re responsible for creating.

Sincerely, Larry Newton, Commissioner, Plainfield Township Park District

BOYS BASKETBALL: JOLIET CATHOLIC 60, AURORA CENTRAL 57

JCA STAVED OFF ACC Fellows lead way with 20 points, 8 rebounds

By DICK GOSS dgoss@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The Joliet Catholic boys basketball team has four sophomores and a junior in the starting lineup.

The first man off the bench is a junior.

Even with four sophomores playing up, the Hilltoppers’ sophomore team earned its 15th victory Tuesday night, beating Aurora Central Catholic. There is talent on the freshman level and in the incoming class of eighth-graders.

Coach Joe Gura knows victories on the varsity level do not come easily this season.

That was the case Tuesday, when the Hilltoppers staved off the Chargers 60-57 in a nonconference match-up.

JCA (8-15) had a 10-point lead midway through the fourth quarter. With 1 minute 43 seconds left, it was down to 58-57. Three defensive stops, Josh Mander’s huge offensive rebound and two Harold Davis free throws combined to put it in the win column.

“They always say basketball is a game of runs,” said 6-foot-6 sophomore Drake Fellows, who led JCA with 20 points on 8-of-11 shooting and eight rebounds. “They made a run. But we played defense, stepped up and made three stops at the end.

“With all the sophomores we have starting on varsity, we should be solid in coming years.”

Sometimes, however, you need to get a win that is within your grasp to keep the program moving forward at a desirable pace.

Rob Winner – rwinner@shawmedia.com

Joliet Catholic’s Drake Fellows puts up a shot in the first quarter during a game Tuesday against Aurora Central in Joliet. JCA defeated ACC, 60-57. to see a win,” Gura said.

“You remember the defining moments and how to handle them.

“One thing is for sure, our schedule gives us no breaks.

We’re just coming off facing three of the better teams in the Chicago area.”

Jalen Jackson chipped in with 17 points and Davis added nine for the Hilltoppers.

Davis and Colton Kolowski had five rebounds, helping JCA out-rebound Aurora Central 19-9 in the second half and 34-24 overall.

“The thing we really did

well was we were textbook in breaking the press and converting,” Gura said.

Jackson had 13 points in the second half, when he scored four times taking the ball hard to the basket.

“We got good passing and got the ball to the middle,” said Fellows, who was on the assist and scoring end of opportunities off the press break.

“We got a lot out of Drake, and that was important,” Gura said. “We would have gotten more out of Mander, too, if he hadn’t had foul trouble.” The

6-4 Mander finished with four points and four rebounds.

Aurora Central (4-16) thrives on the three-point shot, finishing 6-of-20 in that category.

Because of that, the Hilltoppers played the Chargers man-to-man.

“We’re not the best manto-man team,” Gura said. “It’s asking a lot of our guys to play that way the whole game, but they came through it.”

JCA led 25-23 at halftime, fell behind 30-25 early in the third quarter but began a 12-0 run late in the third quarter

that seemingly would put it away. But Aurora Central refused to quit.

“We made some mistakes at the end,” Gura said. One of those was Jackson’s miss on a short jumper with about 25 seconds left and the Hilltoppers leading 58-57. However, Mander’s rebound saved the day.

“There was no malice at all with that shot,” Gura said.

“Jalen thought it was a great shot, he would make it and we’d win the game.”

It’s all part of the learning process.

THEY ALWAYS SAY BASKETBALL IS A GAME OF RUNS. THEY MADE A RUN. BUT WE PLAYED DEFENSE, STEPPED UP AND MADE THREE STOPS AT THE END. WITH ALL THE SOPHOMORES WE HAVE STARTING ON VARSITY, WE SHOULD BE SOLID IN COMING YEARS.” Drake Fellows, sophomore at Joliet Catholic

JOLIET – Jeff Corcoran said that his halftime comments to his Joliet Central boys basketball team were short and to the point.

With the Steelmen up just 26-24 over Lincoln-Way East at the break of Tuesday’s SouthWest Suburban Conference Blue game, it was time to pick things up.

And that’s just what Central did when it returned to the floor, kicking off the final 16 minutes with an 11-0 run, which eventually helped it build a 20-point advantage.

While the Griffins eventually closed the gap back to 11 points, the Steelmen regrouped and went on to capture a 61-48 victory.

“Usually we wait as a group to talk but there was no need to wait because what I had to say was quick and to the point,” Corcoran said. “As soon as we came out we were going to run lay-ups since that effort in the first half wasn’t going to cut it.

“Not taking anything away from the win, but we had a 20-point lead and you can’t let a team full of shooters comeback. It’s a testament to them that they kept playing.

The kids battled to get a lead to let the kids on the bench a chance to play and that took away their opportunity.”

Jonah Coble (8 points, 6 rebounds) and William Autman started the key run with layups and then Jailen Jones (13 points) scored three

straight baskets, capping things with an old-fashioned three-point play.

Central (14-8, 6-4) led by as much as 50-30 in the final quarter, East (6-14, 1-8) didn’t quit and got as close as 54-43, which forced the hosts to reinsert their starters.

“Central decided to turn up its defensive intensity and stopped playing around with traps and played hard-nosed man-to-man,” Griffins coach Rich Kolimas said. “That took us out of our offense and then they went on a run. But we didn’t stop fighting.”

The Steelmen also received 11 points and seven rebounds from Antonio Dyson, nine points from DeMarcus Williamson, six points and five boards from Jarvis Northington and five points from Ternell Jordan.

“At halftime we decided to pick up our intensity,” Williamson said. “We felt that our first-half performance was unacceptable so we came out and played harder. We jumped out to a nice lead, ran our stuff and did what we had to do.”

The Griffins used a 7-0 run to help them grab a 19-15 lead in the second quarter, with five of those points being supplied by Mike Weller, who led the visitors with 12 points.

But the Steelmen closed the opening half with an 11-5 run to move ahead for good.

East also got seven points from Tom Dinaso, six points each from Austin Winkler (7 rebounds), Jackson Bax and Keith Gavin and five points from Antonio Garcia.

Ball goes Minooka’s way in victory

By T.G. SMITH tsmith@shawmedia.com MINOOKA – Late in Tuesday’s girls basketball Suburban Prairie Conference season finale between visiting Plainfield South and Minooka, a play happened that quite epitomized the entire night during a 47-36 win by Minooka.

The Indians had the ball with a 39-23 lead when 6-foot4 center Abby Fink stepped up and created a nice blocked shot on Minooka’s Kelly Carnagio. Instead of that being a positive for the Cougars, Minooka guard Erin Heide was right there to snag the deflection under the hoop and laid the ball in.

“I don’t feel like the ball went our way on a couple of bounces and missed re-

bounds,” Plainfield South coach Leah Carter said. “They were then able to get easy baskets off of them in transition.”

To Minooka coach Ray Liberatore, that one play is typical of Heide being in the right place, at the right time.

“Heide’s been really consistent for us all year putting the ball in the basket,” he said. “She will put herself in the right spot most of the time.”

Heide led Minooka with 18 points on the night while Brooke Bachmann added 14.

Still, it was the play of senior guard Bethany Bachmann that stood out to Liberatore.

“I can’t say enough about how well Bethany Bachmann played,” he said. “She did a great job tonight and made some great passes. She’s been

Minooka led 33-23 at the end of the third quarter and was up as much as 19 at one point in the fourth thanks to

forcing 27 Cougar turnovers.

“That’s just solid half court defense,” Liberatore said.

“We’ve been playing very well defensively, which we need to do because at times, like to-

night in the first half, we’ve been struggling offensively.

It was a bit of a slow start by both teams. In fact, at one point with about two minutes to go in the first quarter, there were as many combined team points as fouls (6-6). Ally Fink had four points in the first for South and the Cougars led 8-6 after one.

In the second quarter, Minooka kept pushing to get the lead for the first time in the contest and finally did with 3:05 left before halftime on a 3-pointer by Brooke Bachmann. Brooke Bachmann ended the half with seven points, as did Heide. That offset six apiece from Tyler Everett and Fink for South as the Indians led 21-16 heading into the locker room at intermission. Everett finished with 13 points.

White falls to ‘I-Pod’ in stunner

By EDDIE PELLS The Associated Press KRASNAYA POLYANA, Russia – Maybe it was all too much. Or maybe just one of those bad nights. That debate will last a long time.

Shaun White stood at the top of the Olympic halfpipe Tuesday night, hunched over, hands resting above his knees. He high-fived his coach, clapped his hands, then jumped in for a ride that would decide if all the calculated choices he had made over a winter full of injuries, distractions and angst would pay off.

One jump, 15 feet above the pipe, was perfect. The second one looked good, too.

Then, the trick they call the “Yolo” – the one a rival invented but White had turned into his own.

His snowboard skittered across the halfpipe on the landing. White finished the run with a flourish and raised his index finger, trying to woo the judges who know, as well as anyone, what he’s done for his sport.

No sale. No medal, either. He finished fourth.

The world’s best-known, most-successful and best-marketed snowboarder lost to a

man they call the “I-Pod,” and now, he may never hear the end of it.

“I would definitely say that tonight was just one of those nights,” White said after falling to Iouri Podladtchikov, the 25-year-old Russian-born inventor of the “Yolo.” “The tricks I learned getting ready for the competition will carry on for a couple years in this sport. It’s a bummer. I had one of those nights.”

The Japanese pair of 15-yearold Ayumu Hirano and 18-yearold Taku Hiraoka won silver and bronze, and the Americans were shut out on the halfpipe for the first time since the sport was introduced to the Olympics in 1998.

Almost unthinkable, especially since White joined the mix and won the first of his two gold medals in 2006.

He wanted to win two this year – one in halfpipe and one in the newly introduced sport of slopestyle – but ended up with none.

“In hindsight, maybe it wasn’t the best move, but he’s ambitious,” said Jake Burton, the snowboarding guru and one of White’s very first sponsors. “That’s him. You wouldn’t want to see him trade that in for anything.”

There’s more than one trendsetter in snowboarding, more than one person who likes to “progress the sport,” as they say on the halfpipe.

The effervescent Podladtchikov, who now lives in and competes for Switzerland, thought up the Yolo trick first and landed it first. White watched the replay of I-Pod doing it in March in an event in Europe and immediately saw what he needed to do.

Very quickly, he did it better than Podladtchikov and landed it twice in key events leading up to the Olympics. I-Pod tried it three times at the Winter X Games last month and fell all three times. “Practice,” he called it.

The Associated Press CHICAGO – Joakim Noah scored 19 points as part of a triple-double, and the Chicago Bulls beat the Atlanta Hawks 100-85 on Tuesday night.

Noah added 16 rebounds and 11 assists, and Taj Gibson had 24 points and 12 rebounds for the Bulls, who had six players score in double figures.

That helped Chicago win its fourth straight against the Hawks and sixth in a row at home versus Atlanta.

The Hawks have lost a season-high four straight overall.

Noah had his fourth career triple-double and first since Feb. 28, 2013, against Philadelphia. He completed this one with an assist on Gibson’s bas-

ket with 9:59 left in the game.

Chicago (26-25) won for the third time in four games and pulled a half-game in front of Atlanta (25-25) in the Eastern Conference.

After trailing by 27 during the second quarter, the Hawks mounted a rally. Atlanta cut its deficit to eight with 8:47 left in the fourth on Mike Scott’s 3-pointer, but Chicago answered with the next six points.

The Bulls were without Carlos Boozer for the third straight game because of a left calf strain, and he was replaced in the starting lineup by Gibson.

Noah helped Chicago overcome Boozer’s absence, as the Bulls out rebounded the Hawks 57-28.

Noah, who was presented

his All-Star jersey before the game by Bulls general manager Gar Forman, had six points, six rebounds and six assists during the opening quarter.

He ended the first half with seven points, 11 rebounds and eight assists for the Bulls, who led 58-39.

Coming off a 79-76 loss to Memphis, in which the Hawks held the Grizzlies to an NBA-record low one free throw, Atlanta’s offense woke up too late.

The Hawks shot 43.8 for the game after making 40 percent in the first half.

All-star forward Paul Millsap had 15 for the Hawks but his streak of four games with at least 10 rebounds was snapped as he had two. Lou Williams added 13 points, and Jeff Teague had 12.

McCormick Place, Chicago

Jeep aims to lead the pack, on and off the pavement There is a Jeep model for anyone and everyone, and they re all there at the Chicago Auto Show … Grand Cherokee, Compass, Grand Cherokee SRT, Patriot, Wrangler, Wrangler Unlimited and Cherokee.

Or pay a visit to a local dealership, talk one-on-one about the lineup, and maybe take a test drive. Here are some highlights of each model in the 2014 lineup.

Leading the pack is the Grand Cherokee, named by Autobytel.com the “SUV of the Year” for 2014 and a “Best Buy” by Consumers Digest. Grand Cherokee defines the premium luxury SUV, delivering best-in-class fuel economy and driving range, available clean-diesel technology, and a host of advanced user-friendly technology and safety features.

For 2014, Grand Cherokee offers a new EcoDiesel engine with bestin-class 30 mpg highway and a range of more than 730 miles. A new eightspeed transmission drives all Grand Cherokee engines, including the 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6, with up to 25 mpg and more than 600 miles driving range, and the 5.7-liter V-8, with up to 22 mpg.

The SRT model offers an all-new electronic eight-speed automatic transmission that can be shifted manually, and improved fuel economy and towing capacity (up to 7,200 pounds, properly equipped). SRT is powered by a 470-horsepower 6.4-liter HEMI engine.

For the second year in a row, Patriot has been honored for the lowest projected cost of ownership for the

first five years by Kelley Blue Book’s KBB.com. The award is in the compact SUV/crossover category.

Patriot offers a new-for-2014 sixspeed automatic transmission, fuel economy up to 30 miles per gallon, more than 30 safety and security features, and a starting U.S. Manufacturers Suggested Retail Price of $15,995.

The compact SUV Jeep Compass is available in three drivetrain configurations: Sport, Latitude and Limited.

All are available with front-wheel drive, the Freedom Drive I full-time 4x4 system, or the Freedom Drive II Off-road full-time 4x4 system with lowrange capability.

Latitude and Limited are powered by a 2.4-liter I-4 dual overhead cam engine that produces 172 horsepower matched with a six speed automatic transmission. The Sport is standard with a 2.0-liter I-4, which produces 158 horsepower mated to a five speed manual.

It would not be a “normal” year in the off-road world if the iconic Jeep Wrangler wasn’t honored by somebody for something, and for 2014 it received two Kelley Blue Book Best Resale Value Awards: Top 10 and Compact SUV/Crossover. It also is a Best Resale Value award winner, and was named “Hottest 4x4-SUV” in November at the 2013 Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) trade show in Las Vegas.

The reason for all this? Wrangler just keeps getting better. For example, it is one of the few mid-size SUVs to offer a six-speed manual transmission in addition to an optional five-speed

automatic.

Dig deeper. Chrysler Group’s 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 engine delivers 285 horsepower and up to 21 miles per gallon. Its torque band focuses on low-end torque, essential for extreme off-roading. The oil sump provides oil to the pump even at extreme vehicle angles, and the alternator is up high so Wrangler can maintain its water-fording capability.

Wrangler Unlimited is the “doit-all” SUV and the only four-door 4x4 SUV convertible on the market.

Powered by the 3.6-litet Pentasar V-6 with five-speed automatic or six-speed manual, it can tow up to 3,500 pounds, properly equipped. Cargo volume is 31.5 cubic feet behind the rear seat upright and 70.6 behind front seat when rear seatbacks are folded flat.

The all-new five-passenger Chero-

kee sports a cutting-edge, revolutionary design, a segment-first nine-speed automatic transmission, and legendary Jeep 4x4 capability.

Two state-of-the-art powerplants are offered: the new 2.4-liter MultiAir2 Tigershark inline four-cylinder with 184 horsepower a fuel economy rating of up to 31 miles per gallon highway, and the new 3.2-liter Pentastar V-6 engine generates 271 horsepower.

Three innovative 4x4 systems (Jeep Active Drive I, II and Drive Lock) are offered, and is the first mid-size SUV to feature rear-axle disconnect, resulting in reduced energy loss when 4x4 capability isn’t needed. Innovative Jeep Selec Terrain system with up to five modes for the best four-wheel-drive performance for any road or weather condition.

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

Once upon a time, two Chicago area cooks, Marianne and Scott Hunnel, decided to enrich their skills – and perhaps further their careers – by enrolling in Joliet Junior College’s culinary arts program.

About the time of their December 1988 graduation, the school hosted a job fair and Marianne persuaded Scott to attend.

Present at that fair were representatives from Walt Disney World Resort in Florida.

Several weeks later, in a dream-come-true way, Marianne and Scott were off to Walt Disney World Resort to work as chefs.

Marianne started at Magic Kingdom and opened Tony’s Town Square Restaurant; Scott began at the Polynesian resort.

Marianne is now event content development area manager for the Epcot International Food and Wine Festival, which is tentatively scheduled to begin Sept.

19 and run through Nov. 10.

It will feature more than 500 events, including culinary demonstrations, as well as 100 different beverage selections.

Scott is the chef de cuisine at Walt Disney World Resort’s five-diamond restaurant, Victoria & Albert’s, where he has worked since 1995.

The website – victoria-alberts.com – calls Hunnel’s approach “imaginative” and artistic, “featuring vivid colors and textures” with wine pairings that are “exquisite.”

For the Hunnels, their careers are the ultimate in job satisfaction and they gave JJC the credit for building the solid classical foundation, as well as the time management and organizational skills, that launched them in the culinary industry.

“Especially when you’re going to school and working 60 hours,” Scott said of his

JJC days.

Marianne had grown up surrounded by cooking and working in restaurants; many relatives on her father’s side had owned restaurants, she said. As a little girl, Marianne’s favorite toy was her Easy-Bake Oven.

“There’s even a baby picture of me crawling into one of the cabinets, where my mother had 20 pounds of flour,” Marianne said, “and making dough balls out of my mouth.”

Marianne was a Red Lobster employee when she met Scott, a Lansing native, through her brother, when both men were working for one of the Stuart Anderson Cattle Company restaurants.

She and Scott married in 1986 and a year later enrolled in Joliet Junior College’s culinary arts program, after deciding a trade school was not for them.

“It had a great curriculum with incredible accolades from a culinary perspective and you could also earn an [associate] degree,” Marianne said. “The credits would be transferable if we wanted to further our education. [JJC] was also so connected with the American Culinary Association, which was huge for networking and career advancement.”

Arugula Spinach Salad The recipe below, which Marianne and Scott Hunnel have served to friends over the years, is inspired from a similar one they prepared during their JJC culinary arts years.

Scott and Marianne Hunnel’s “Arugula and Spinach Salad with Warm Applewood-Smoked Bacon Vinaigrette” Arugula and Spinach Salad ½ pound fresh arugula leaves (cleaned) ¼ pound fresh spinach leaves (cleaned) ¼ pound gorgonzola cheese crumbles

Marianne and Scott Hunnel in 1988 when they were newlyweds and students at Joliet Junior College’s culinary arts program.

¼ cup toasted walnuts or spiced walnuts (see recipe below) ½ cup diced granny smith apples 1 ½ cups bacon vinaigrette (see recipe below) Toss all of the ingredients together except the vinaigrette.

Place in a chilled bowl or on chilled salad plates. Ladle warm vinaigrette on salad plates just before serving. Yield: 8 servings Warm Bacon Vinaigrette ¼ pound applewood smoked bacon (1/2 inch dice) ¼ cup sweet onion (diced) ½ cup white vinegar 1 T. white wine 2 T. olive oil 2 T. white sugar ½ tsp. kosher salt

1/8 tsp. fresh cracked black pepper 1 ½ cups vegetable stock 1 T. red peppers, fine chopped 2 tsp. cornstarch ¼ cup cold water ¼ tsp. chopped garlic (optional) ¼ tsp. dijon mustard Using a stainless steel saucepan, saute bacon over medium flame until crisp. Add the onions with the bacon and continue to cook until onions start to brown.

Add pimentos. Add vinegar and wine to pan using caution due to the steam that will come from the pan when the liquid hits the hot pan. Add the rest of the ingredients except the cold water and corn starch. Combine the cornstarch and cold water in a

separate bowl and set aside. Bring the bacon mixture to a simmer.

Slowly add the cornstarch mixture to vinaigrette. Taste. Adjust seasoning if necessary. Keep warm until ready to use. Yield: 1 ½ cups Spiced Walnuts 2 cups walnut pieces 1 ½ T. cinnamon ½ T. Cayenne pepper 1/3 cup powdered sugar ¼ cup plus 2 T. melted butter Preheat conventional oven to 350 degrees Mix all the ingredients together in a bowl. Place on a baking tray and bake at 350 degree oven for 15 to 20 minutes. Nut mixture should be lightly toasted. Yield: 2 cups

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

• Wednesday, February 12, 2014

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Vinoba Bhave, an Indian advocate for human rights who died in 1982, said: “Innumerable actions are going on through us all the time. If we started counting them, we should never come to an end.”

Luckily, it is not that tough at the bridge table.

But the more counting you do, the better you will play – our theme this week.

In today’s deal, look at the auction and the West and North hands. South is in four spades.

West leads the diamond ace.

How should he continue the defense?

North, holding a low doubleton, reasonably chose to use Stayman. (If he had responded three no-trump, that contract could also have been defeated.)

South correctly rebid two hearts when holding four cards in each major. North jumped to three no-trump. And South, knowing his partner had four spades, corrected back to game in that strain.

When the dummy comes down, a good defender first checks out the high-card points.

South indicated 15-17, dummy has 13, and West holds seven.

That leaves 3-5 for East. So East could have one winner to go with West’s diamond ace-king.

But where is the fourth defensive trick?

Now count the suit lengths.

Dummy has three hearts, South showed four, and West has five.

East must have a singleton.

This is West’s best chance. At trick two – not after cashing the diamond king, a card needed as an entry – West shifts to a heart. Then, East can take the first or second round of spades, return a diamond to his partner’s king, and receive a heart ruff to defeat the contract.

Girlfriend staying as guest deserves more respect Dear Abby: Last August my husband and I allowed our son’s 17-year-old girlfriend, “Lindsay,” to move into our home from out of state because she needs to live here for a year to establish residency for school. She’s a wonderful girl, mature, social and helpful.

My problem is my other sons (ages 18 and 14) are very angry that we have allowed a “stranger” to move in. My 18-year-old is a college student who lives on campus an hour away, but comes home on weekends. He and his younger brother feel I show favoritism to Lindsay and make frequent comments about the non-family member. They worry that I’m spending money on her even though they know her mom sends her money.

I’ll admit it has been nice to have a girl around. My boys sleep half the day away on weekends, but she gets up and is happy to run errands with me. I still include my sons in many activities without Lindsay, as I always have, and I did not anticipate this hostility. I feel bad for her because they make little attempt to hide it.

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips My son loves his girlfriend, and I want her to feel comfortable and welcome without alienating my other sons. Help! – Mom Of Three Sons Dear Mom: You and your husband are the parents, which means you are supposed to be running this “asylum” – not the inmates. The decision about who should or should not be a guest in your home is not up to your jealous older and younger boys, who appear to be suffering from a form of “sibling” rivalry.

As a guest in your home, Lindsay should be treated with respect, and it’s not happening. You should insist upon it, and if your wishes are not complied with, there should be consequences.

Dear Abby: My husband of five years has three children from previous marriages. Earlier this year he learned some disturbing information about his youngest

child. He opted not to share the information with me so as not to violate her privacy. I found out about it a few weeks ago, and I am deeply hurt that I was excluded.

I feel I have never been included as a true part of the family, and this is just another example. He feels his explanation justifies his actions and that should be the end of it. I am concerned that he will keep other things from me he feels are none of my business in the future. I am not at all comfortable with this situation. Do you think I am overreacting? – Stepmonster In The South Dear Stepmonster: Yes, I do.

Your husband decided not to discuss something with you that he felt would violate his daughter’s privacy. Much as you might like to, you can’t push your way into being accepted. If relationships are going to happen, they must evolve naturally. So calm down and stop personalizing this. It isn’t a threat to your marriage unless you make it so.

Frequent urination at night becomes more common with age Dear Doctor K: I’m an older woman in good health, but I can’t get a good night’s sleep because I keep waking up to go to the bathroom. What can I do?

Dear Reader: “Nocturia” is the medical term for the need to get up frequently to urinate during the night. It’s a common cause of sleep loss, especially among older adults. In severe cases, a person may get up as many as five or six times during the night. This can lead to sleep deprivation and daytime fatigue.

One common cause of nocturia is easily corrected. Watch (and consider cutting down on) how much you drink in the two hours before bedtime. Be particularly careful about drinks containing caffeine and alcohol. They both cause the kidneys to pass more water.

Nocturia becomes more common with age, and several different conditions can cause it.

Some are just the result of aging and some are diseases.

As we get older, our brains produce less antidiuretic hormone. Normally, this hormone travels in the blood and causes the kidneys to make less urine.

Since we make less hormone as we get older, we make more urine

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff at night. Sometimes doctors treat this condition with a drug that causes the same effects as antidiuretic hormone.

Age also reduces the holding capacity of our bladder. Even when you don’t have that much fluid in the bladder, it senses that it is full. As a result, the bladder sends urgent signals to your brain that you need to urinate.

There are several diseases that can cause nocturia. Heart failure causes blood to be pumped less efficiently through the kidneys.

That leads to a buildup of excess fluid in the blood and the rest of the body. And that, in turn, causes the heart and kidneys to do everything they can to pass as much of that excess fluid as possible out in the urine.

Diabetes is another example.

The higher levels of sugar in the blood that come from diabetes “suck” fluid out of the tissues and cells of the body and into the blood. The extra fluid in the blood then is eliminated by the kidneys into the urine.

Low-grade urinary tract bacterial infections can cause frequent urination, usually of small amounts of urine. Sometimes an infection is suspected because it also hurts to urinate, but that’s not always the case.

Neurological conditions can affect the signals to and from the bladder, and the efficiency with which the bladder muscles function. One common example is “overactive bladder,” which causes increased contractions of the muscles that cause urination.

Muscle-relaxant drugs can help.

(I’ve put an illustration of the female urinary system on my website, AskDoctorK.com.)

Medications, especially diuretics (widely used both to lower blood pressure and to rid the body of excess fluid), can cause nocturia as well.

Try the one thing that you can do yourself: Cut down on the amount of fluid you drink in the two hours before bedtime. If that doesn’t work, you should get checked out by your doctor.

Twelve-year-old girl afraid of her brother Dr. Wallace: I’m a 12-year-old girl, and I have a 10-year-old brother. Lately, he has been throwing rocks and stones at me because he’s mad that I told our parents that I saw him smoking a cigarette. He got in a lot of trouble and is now telling his friends to throw rocks and stones at me for “ratting” on him. He’s only 10, and I thought I was doing the right thing to tell my parents because they keep telling us that smoking is bad for our health.

Yesterday, my brother and his friends were following me on my way home from school, and they started throwing rocks at me, and whenever one hit me they all started laughing. When we got home, my brother told me he would do worse things if I ratted on him about the rocks. Now I’m really afraid of my brother. Do you think I should tell my parents about this? – Nameless, Indio, Calif.

Dear Nameless: Tell your parents immediately! Your brother is a nasty bully who needs a good dose of stern discipline. Please make sure that your parents read today’s column, and I’m sure they will take care of the problem.

Dr. Wallace: I have a good friend whose father teaches at our school. We study together, but she always seems to get better scores on her tests than I do. I know that I’m just as smart as she is, and this really disappoints me. Do you think she is getting better scores because her father teaches at our school and her mother is sometimes a substitute teacher at our school? – Nameless, Philadelphia, Pa.

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace Dear Nameless: I believe that the great majority of teachers grade students on individual efforts, not on who their parents are. I believe a few teachers, wittingly and unwittingly, give higher grades to students with influential parents. Sad, but true!

Many school districts do not permit husbands and wives to teach at the same school. Even though one is a substitute, I believe it’s a good rule.

Dr. Wallace: I’m a 16-year-old girl with a big problem. I broke up with my boyfriend a while back because I felt sort of trapped in the relationship. I really felt bad about breaking up with him because it broke his heart. I felt really guilty and I could hardly face him or even talk to him on the phone. My best friend tried to help out, and she called him for me and helped him get over the breakup.

Then about a week ago I found out that my friend and Ken are now dating. This really bothers me, and now I’m thinking of all the fun times Ken and I shared, and I want to get back together with him. Do you think this is a possibility? – Sorry, Ontario, Calif.

Dear Sorry: The only reason you are feeling melancholy is because your best friend is dating your ex-boyfriend.

Do nothing to encourage Ken to return to you while he is dating your best friend.

Colin Farrell and Jessica Brown Findlay star in “Winter’s Tale.”

‘Winter’s Tale’ lacks warmth

By DANA BARBUTO More Content Now “Winter’s Tale” is a romantic historical fantasy about miracles, but its most mysterious aspect is how a film rife with Academy Award talent – in front of and behind the camera – isn’t the least bit wondrous.

In adapting Mark Helprin’s best-selling novel, Oscar-winning screenwriter Akiva Goldsman (“A Beautiful Mind”) makes his directorial debut with a stacked deck of great actors and gorgeous cinematography. But that doesn’t stop him from clubbing us over the head with claptrap (a little goes a long way) about the universe, crossed destinies, master plans and magic. It’s all set to a romantically lush score by Oscar-winner Hans Zimmer that always tells you just how to feel.

What transpires on screen, though, is a film that keeps one-upping itself with ridiculosity. Exhibit A: Russell Crowe’s performance as a mythic boss of thugs and thieves. Exhibit B: Will Smith’s turn as Lucifer. Yes, you read that right.

Exhibit C: Falling instantly in love with

your home invader. How very “Labor Day.” Exhibit D: A mysterious flying white horse. The list goes on, but why spoil the fun?

The frivolity gets under way in present-day New York, with Colin Farrell’s Peter Lake mysteriously drawn to Grand Central Station in search of clues to his past. Flashback to 1845, when, as an infant, Peter is nestled into a model ship by his parents and launched into the waters surrounding Ellis Island en route to his destiny. Fast-forward to 1916, when a grown-up Peter is being pursued for being a crooked crook by Crowe’s Pearly Soames.

Along the way, Peter falls in love with the consumptive Beverly (Jessica Brown Findlay, the ill-fated Sybil from TV’s “Downton Abbey”), whom he meets cute while robbing her newspaper-publisher father’s (William Hurt) house. Their love story flourishes, with Pearly and his goons in hot pursuit. An old-fashioned battle of good vs. evil ensues. Their clash will continue into present day when the life of a little girl (newcomer Ripley Sobo) is on the line. Don’t do the math, it’s a futile exercise. In fact, the whole third-act

has that tacked-on feel. The continuity isn’t always there, and the story doesn’t grab you enough to make the leap of faith. But, you’ll hear lots of mumbo-jumbo about moonbeams and sunbeams.

Says Beverly: “The sicker I become, the more clearly I can see that everything is connected by light!”

Hot off a terrific turn in “Saving Mr. Banks,” Farrell is at his best when he goes toe-to-toe with Hurt and makes a dashing lover for Brown Findlay in the first half of the film. He’s sweet and earnest and wears a tux well. In the second-half, he loses his romantic appeal when Goldsman turns him into a savior.

Lending support and adding gravitas just by showing up is Oscar-winner Eva Marie Saint (“On the Waterfront”).

Newcomer Mckayla Twiggs is a living doll as Beverly’s young sister. Jennifer Connelly, who won an Oscar in the Goldsman-scripted “A Beautiful Mind,” doesn’t have much to do here as the mother of the sick child. Her “Beautiful Mind” costar, Crowe, doesn’t fare much better. At least he’s not singing his lines this time out, but there is some shape-shifting. The guy can’t win.
