Neighbors, council members get tour of Evergreen Terrace

By BILL WIMBISCUS bwimbiscus@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A group of neighborhood council representatives and Joliet councilmen got an inside look at Evergreen Terrace on Thursday.

The excursion, led by representatives of Burnham Management Co., the Chicago firm that oversees the 156-unit complex on Broadway Street, focused primarily on maintenance and security improvements.

The tour came at a time that Evergreen Terrace owners are trying to hold onto ownership while the city is suing to take over the complex.

But some city council members question whether Joliet should continue the takeover fight, and Evergreen Terrace management gave the guests on the tour reasons to leave the complex in private hands.

“We have a zero-tolerance policy” on security issues, such as crime, fighting and trespassing, Burnham President Jake Paschen said. “If you have a guest on site that does something against the rules, we evict you.”

The complex has a waiting list of more than 600 people, Paschen said.

“There’s no incentive to

keep bad renters,” he said.

Burnham performs extensive criminal, credit and landlord checks on anyone applying for an apartment at Evergreen Terrace, Paschen said.

“If you have any kind of criminal record, you can’t get it,” Paschen told the group, which included representatives of the St. John’s/St. Peter’s Neighborhood Organization and Cunningham Neighborhood Council, as well as councilmen Terry Morris, Larry Hug, Bob O’Dekirk and Jim McFarland.

The future of the low-income facility, which Joliet has been attempting to condemn since 2005, has been a matter of debate at recent council meetings. O’Dekirk and Hug have expressed concerns regarding the mounting cost of lawsuits related to the issue, as well as the potential cost of rehabilitating the property.

Paschen showed a studio and two-bedroom apartment, as well as laundry, garbage and security facilities. The rooms were small and spartan, with linoleum floors, offwhite walls, baseboard heating, air conditioning, sliding glass windows, basic kitchen appliances and cabinets and tiny bathrooms.

Members of the St. John’s/ St. Peter’s Neighborhood Organization and the Cunningham Neighborhood Council arranged the tour following a meeting last week.

“We realized that there were a few of us that had never been in there,” said Candace Johnson, a member of St. John’s/St. Peter’s. “We wanted to see for ourselves if it has actually changed from what it was in the 1990s and early 2000s.”

Several on the tour seemed satisfied, if not surprised, with conditions at the complex.

“I think they are doing a lot better than previous managers have,” said Johnson, who has lived within two blocks of the facility since 1997.

“It has improved over the years in my estimation,” said Jerry Morales, another member of the group.

Roger Thompson of Cunningham said he’d prefer Joliet focus more on attracting new businesses and tourism.

“To concentrate more time on Evergreen Terrace would be a huge mistake,” Thompson said.

Johnson agreed.

“Honestly, I don’t see a point in getting rid of it,” Johnson said. “There would be so many people displaced.”

Diocese of Joliet settles into new location in Crest Hill; operations consolidated

But a study found that the Saint Charles Borromeo Catholic Center on Airport Road would have required $7 million to $8 million to renovate into a suitable office location.

That center did have a gym, and dozens of dorms and classrooms that Lewis University already was partially using.

The Catholic university was interested in the entire facility, Bava said. So when diocese officials found the vacant strip mall along the Weber Road corridor in Crest Hill, they found an ideal opportunity.

The diocese sold the Romeoville facilities to Lewis and used the money to buy and renovate the lot into the Blanchette Catholic Center.

This allowed the diocese to spend less than $3 million on the new center, Bava said.

At the time the diocese was

The Catholic Diocese of Joliet in Crest Hill is seen Wednesday. finalizing the deals, Joliet Mayor Tom Giarrante and Crest Hill Mayor Ray Soliman both protested the decision.

Giarrante argued then that the absence of the diocese would create a hole both in the prestige of the city and the buildings that will be left unoccupied. Soliman was

concerned about the diocese taking up space in a prime commercial location, leading to the loss of property taxes and up to $100,000 per year in sales taxes.

After several meetings with Conlan, diocese officials agreed to develop and lease two lots south of its property

• Friday, February 28, 2014

REST HILL – The Catholic Diocese of Joliet made a historical change when it moved its operations from Joliet to Crest Hill in December.

The move brought opposition from the mayors of both cities in late 2012, but since then the waters have cooled and the diocese is settling into the converted strip mall on the northeast corner of Weber Road and Division Street.

“We are all grateful to God that Bishop [Daniel] Conlon had the vision and wisdom to pursue this project,” diocese Chief Financial Officer Mike Bava said. “This wouldn’t have been possible without the willingness of the bishop to take on this challenge, especially so soon after becoming the bishop of Joliet. “ Crest Hill Community Development Director Amber Miller said the weather has made it tough for the diocese to move forward on construction plans. The exterior of the building still needs to be finished and landscaping has been delayed.

“They still need to complete some items,” Miller said. “But they’ve made some extraordinary progress because they’ve had some really tight timeframes.”

While the new offices still are under construction, the diocese is optimistic about the opportunity for its more than 650,000 parishioners.

With facilities in Joliet and Romeoville, Bava said the diocese had been searching for a good location to centralize operations since the 1980s. When Conlan took over in 2011, he made moving a priority.

“Having half of the diocesan staff working in Joliet and the other half in Romeoville was not ideal,” Bava sad. “Getting everyone in one location is much better for enhancing collaboration, communications and efficiencies.”

The diocese had looked at its existing facilities in Ro-

as commercial lots, lessening the hit to sales taxes incurred by the arrival of the diocese.

“We welcome Bishop Conlan and the diocese of Joliet to the city of Crest Hill and look forward to a long relationship,” Soliman said, adding that he hopes to work with the diocese and it’s more than 100 employees as a destination point to bring future development to the area.

The chancery and tribunal buildings on Bridge Street in Joliet currently are unoccupied. The Pope John Paul II building will continue housing priests until it’s also sold.

While the diocese has been in talks with the University of St. Francis to acquire all of the buildings, Bava said that might not happen.

“Our focus right now is completing the Crest Hill location,” Bava said. “But we will begin the process of readying the former chancery buildings for sale in the near future” Those properties still are a concern for Giarrante, who is meeting with Conlan next week.

“We’re still concerned about what will happen to the buildings,” Giarrante said.

“This is the Joliet diocese.

I want to see what the bishop has to say, but our main concern is the vacant properties.”

The new center has multiple conference rooms and is being renovated as a central location of diocese offices.

The heads of all departments, including Conlan’s office, are located at Blanchette. But Bava said parisioners should still consider Joliet the base city of the diocese.

“The name of the diocese will definitely remain the ‘diocese of Joliet,’ ” Bava said.

“Crest Hill is where our curia operations are now. But the Cathedral of St. Raymond’s in Joliet remains the home and center of our diocese.”

The diocese will hold an open house of the finished Crest Hill facility from 2 to 6 p.m. April 3.

Stray bullets hit neighbors’ houses No one injured in Lockport mayhem Thursday morning

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com and

FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com Rick Rodriguez didn’t expect his neighbor would be crazy enough to fire three shots at his house and five more shots at his neighbor’s house.

Rodriguez, 56, who lives in the 100 block of Jefferson St., Lockport, said his family heard people arguing outside after 2 a.m. Thursday.

The shooting started about two hours later. One bullet went through a bedroom wall at Rodriguez’s house, leaving dust on his wife’s face.

No one was injured in the mayhem.

The man taken into custody was naked during a standoff with police, and there were reports that he was wearing a cowboy hat.

He has not been identified by police other than as a 42-year-old man.

When three bullets penetrated Rodriguez’s house, his family contacted the police, Rodriguez said. Five people were in the house at the time.

After a police officer had searched the area and walked the neighbor’s wife to a patrol car, the neighbor was firing shots at the police officer, Rodriguez said. He also fired five shots at another neighbor’s house, he said.

“There’s too many guns out there,” Rodriguez said.

He later added that “mentally ill people should not have any guns.”

“It was scary because they had the SWAT team out

Rodriguez, who works as a carpenter, has lived in the neighborhood for 32 years.

He said the neighborhood is usually quiet with children playing in the streets. He said the neighbors had moved into the house two months ago and he didn’t expect them to be this wild.

Police Chief Terry Lemming said at 4:27 a.m. a woman called police to the 100 block of North Jefferson Street after her husband fired a gun inside their home.

It was not known if the man targeted the woman when he was shooting. No one else was in the house.

“She came out when officers arrived and he barricaded himself inside and did not respond [to police],” Lem-

At least two houses were hit with bullets. Both houses were occupied, Lemming

said.

Police called nearby residents on the phone to report the situation. Some of them were evacuated while others chose to remain in their basements, police said.

The Joliet Police Special Operations Squad, which includes SWAT officers and trained negotiators, was called to the scene.

“They spoke with the subject on the telephone and did a great job talking him out of the house,” Lemming said.

Officers reported the man was naked during the standoff, but put on a robe before coming out to surrender, Lemming said. Two other sources said the nude man was also wearing a cowboy hat at one point, which Lemming said was “possible but not confirmed” Thursday afternoon.

The man surrendered to police around 9:30 a.m.

The man was taken to an area hospital for a psychiatric evaluation, Lemming said. Charges will be determined after police review the incident with the Will County State’s Attorney’s Office.

Lemming said police believe the man was using a handgun during the incident.

The couple moved into the house last month from out of state.

“There have been no police calls at that address since they moved in,” Lemming said. According to records, the new resident does not have an Illinois firearm owner’s identification card.

After being notified of the shooting incident by police, Milne Grove Elementary School and Kelvin Grove Middle School were put on lockdown, said school district Superintendent Donna Gray.

Anyone who cannot be identified will not be allowed into either school, she said.

The schools will remain on lockdown until police notify the school district that the situation has been taken care of, Gray said.

Lockport High School will run longer in May

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com LOCKPORT – Lockport High School students will stay in school three days longer in May to make up for the January snow days.

The Lockport Township High School District has announced that the school calendar has been adjusted to catch up with class time lost because of the harsh winter.

Officials also plan on adjusting next year’s spring break dates because of new state testing. All feeder school districts such as Homer School District 33C and Fairmont School District 89 facing the same testing constraints plan to change their spring break dates in response.

Lockport high schools were closed Jan. 7, 27 and 28 because of the inclement weather. Emergency days used during this period will be made up on May 27, 28 and 29, with May 29 being the last day of scheduled attendance.

“Our plan is to add those three canceled days to the end of our current calendar,” said Todd Wernet, district superintendent.

Teachers will make up a canceled teacher institute day held Jan. 6 on June 2.

Because the winter season is not over yet, school offi-

cials said if any additional emergency days are needed, the calendar would be revised once more.

Next year, students in grades 9, 10 and 11 will be tested on two separate exams and time periods during the spring semester. The first exam is a performance-based assessment and the second exam is a end-of-year assessment.

The state’s Partnership for Assessment of Readiness of College and Careers exam testing period for the performance-based assessment is scheduled from March 9, 2015 ,to April 3.

Spring break for Lockport high schools is usually scheduled during the last week of March but because of conflict with PARCC testing dates, school officials plan to reschedule spring break from April 6, 2015, to April 10.

“The concern was if we stayed with holding spring break during our traditional time we would be eliminating five test days for PARCC, and with the uncertainty of test administration, we were not excited about that premise,” Wernet said.

The feeder school districts – or districts that send students into the high school district – plan to adjust their spring break schedules, as well, he said.

district budget this year from last year, but healthy balances are expected to remain.

The board this week also approved measures involving Internet and wireless link bandwidth. The district will enter into a five-year contract for a fiber optic upgrade with Comcast at a monthly cost of $2,290. Keeping its current provider would have cost the district $3,000 a month to make the upgrade.

The other proposal approved was to replace the district’s wireless links with new radios. The upgrade will cost $9,658 from Entre Solutions II. The school board this week also approved the resignation of Katie Beckett as assistant track coach and the hiring of Emily Stephenson as a substitute aide, Thomas Fracassi as an assistant track coach, and Kara Engle as fifth grade girls basketball coach.

Drug suspect arrested; gun picked up

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com BOLINGBROOK – Police say an anonymous tip led to the arrest of an armed drug dealer Wednesday night.

Lt. Mike Rompa said police were called shortly after 10:30 p.m. and were told Isiah J. Guy, 25, was walking to the parking lots on Wildwood Drive to sell drugs.

Rompa said officers from

the Problem Oriented Policing Team arrived and found Guy near a vacant residence. “[Guy] fled ... ignoring orders to stop,” Rompa said.

“As the officers pursued the subject he discarded several items.”

Guy was eventually overtaken and fought back against police, Rompa said.

Police allegedly found cocaine, marijuana and a loaded .380 Smith and Wesson hand-

gun in the path of the pursuit.

The gun was reported stolen Feb. 5 from a vehicle parked in the 300 block of Woodcreek Drive.

Guy, of the 100 block of Delaware, was arrested and booked into the county jail on charges of unauthorized possession of a firearm, possession of a stolen firearm, drug possession, marijuana possession, aggravated battery, unlawful use of a weapon and resisting arrest.

CHANNAHON – Property in Channahon School District 17 will show a decrease in equalized assessed valuations this year, just as it has the past four years.

Decreases in the property tax base are likely for another four years, Doreen Linderman, a PMA financial adviser, told the school board in her five-year financial forecast presentation at the board’s Monday meeting. The news means another decrease in property tax revenues for the district.

Even though it’s predicted to drop, the equalized assessed valuation, or EAV, is expected to climb to a less negative value this year and over the next few years. The district believes the worst decline may have been 2012.

Board members also

learned from the forecast that state aid to the district may become a “flat grant,” as determined based on a formula involving the amount of EAV per student and the number of students. Or, more likely, it could go away all together, according to district Finance Director Michael Schroeder, which would cost the district $394,000.

Student enrollment continues to decline, as well, with a projection of a reduction of 145 students over the next five years and a reduction of five full-time teachers over the same time period.

Of the expenditures budgeted in fiscal year 2014, Linderman said salaries comprise 45.3 percent. The costs of medical benefits will increase by about 20 percent, and other expenses are budgeted to increase by 4 percent a year.

Linderman predicted a bit of a decrease in the year-end

JOLIET MURDER TRIAL

| LOCAL NEWS

Perkins admits to shooting, but says he was scared

The Herald-News / TheHerald-News.com • Friday, February 28, 2014

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Darrel Perkins, on trial for murder, on Thursday admitted shooting the man who came into his Lois Place apartment.

But Perkins testified that Tevin L. Bridges, 18, had a gun in his hand after pushing open the door that night.

Perkins has been charged with murder, unauthorized possession of a firearm by a felon and delivery of marijuana. Perkins, who was displaced from New Orleans

by Hurricane Katrina, ran a business from his apartment selling cigarettes, marijuana and Louisiana-style chicken.

Perkins, 55, said he sold about 30 orders of chicken before watching the Bears game on TV with his friends Ronnie Williams and J.B. Bryant on Oct. 22, 2012.

Perkins was “into the game” when there was a knock on the door. Williams Darrel answered and Perkins was asked for two cigarettes, Perkins testified in the bench trial before Judge Robert Livas.

When the door was pushed open, apparently knocking Williams over before it swung back, Perkins grabbed the

.38-caliber handgun he was keeping on a table near his chair and swiveled around to face the door, he testified.

“I saw (=[Bridges] standing there. He was looking down. When I looked down I saw...he had the gun in his hand. He looked up. We could see each other. He started moving [his hand] and I shot him. I panicked. I was scared,” Perkins said.

Bridges then turned in the doorway and Perkins shot him a second time, he said.

Perkins allegedly had been robbed and beaten about a month earlier and bought the gun from a neighbor, whom he called immediately after the shooting and gave the gun

back to, he testified.

Police found baggies of marijuana and cigar boxes and clothing with a large amount of folded currency in Perkins’ bedroom after the shooting.

Perkins initially told police he’d heard the shots in the hallway and looked out to see Bridges laying there.

Perkins said he was scared and told Assistant Public Defender Jason Strzelecki that fear caused him to initially tell investigators he wasn’t involved in the shooting.

“You, in fact, shot Tevin Bridges,” Strzelecki asked the defendant.

“Yes,” Perkins said. “[Because] I was afraid for my life.

I’d never seen him before.”

Detectives Tizoc Landeros and Chris Schott were called back to the stand Thursday to confirm Perkins never told them Bridges was armed until after he’d been charged with murder the next day.

But attorneys agreed to stipulations that a BB gun found in the hallway had Tevin Bridges’ DNA on the grip and did not rule out he was one of three people whose DNA was found on the trigger.

Tests done at the state police crime lab did not match any of Darrel Perkins’ DNA to the weapon, which had been modified to closely resemble a .45-caliber handgun.

Rauner spokesman Mike Schrimpf said Thursday that the effort was brought by allies of Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn and was “beyond the point of desperation.”

Meanwhile, Rutherford of Chenoa has also raised more money than Dillard and Brady. However, he’s spent recent weeks defending himself on the campaign trail after a former employee filed a lawsuit alleging sexual harassment and being forced to do campaign work while on state time.

CHICAGO – The four Republicans seeking the governors’ office were set to face off in another televised debate Thursday, as two candidates lagging behind in fundraising and polls vowed to make up ground just weeks ahead of the primary election.

State Sens. Kirk Dillard and Bill Brady have acknowledged they’ve got far less money than businessman Bruce Rauner and Illinois Treasurer Dan Rutherford, but they say they’re not worried and are counting on a final surge into the March 18 primary. Early voting starts Monday.

Dillard picked up an endorsement Wednesday from the Illinois Retired Teachers Association, which he said would help build momentum.

“Polling is not a true, accurate measure,” said Dillard of Hinsdale. “I go after votes in non-traditional areas. It’s why I’m the electable candidate.”

However, Brady has

called it a two-man race between him and Rauner, who has raised millions more than the other candidates through his contacts and personal wealth. Brady of Bloomington said his own internal polling shows him ahead of those who are already in public office. Brady was the GOP nominee in 2010.

Rauner, who portrays himself as an outsider who’ll go up against “government union bosses,” has dominated the airwaves with advertisements. That’s made him the target of union attack ads and other candidates.

He even termed one debate a “beat up Brucey” event.

However, Rauner has said that just shows his message is resonating.

Still, his fundraising efforts – including millions he’s put into his own campaign – have recently come into question.

The Illinois AFL-CIO this week asked a state investigator to prohibit Rauner from contributing to his own campaign and review about $5 million he’s contributed for violations of Illinois’

NATION&WORLD New food labels aim to make shopping easy

By DARLENE SUPERVILLE and MARY CLARE JALONICK The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Ice cream lovers beware: The government knows you’re unlikely to stop after half a cup.

New nutrition labels proposed Thursday for many popular foods, including ice cream, aim to more accurately reflect what people actually eat. And the proposal would make calorie counts on labels more prominent, too, reflecting that nutritionists now focus more on calories than fat.

For the first time, labels also would be required to list any sugars that are added by manufacturers.

In one example of the change, the estimated serving size for ice cream would jump from a half cup to a cup, so the calorie listing on the label would double as well.

The idea behind the change, the first overhaul of the labels in two decades, isn’t that the government thinks people should be eating twice as much; it’s that they should understand how many calories are in what they already are eating. The Food and Drug Administration says that, by law, serving sizes must be based on actual consumption, not some ideal.

“Our guiding principle here is very simple, that you as a parent and a consumer should be able to walk into your local grocery store, pick

up an item off the shelf and be able to tell whether it’s good for your family,” said first lady Michelle Obama, who joined the FDA in announcing the proposed changes at the White House.

Mrs. Obama made the announcement as part of her Let’s Move initiative to combat child obesity, which is marking its fourth anniversary. On Tuesday, she announced new Agriculture Department rules that would reduce marketing of less-healthful foods in schools.

The new labels would be less cluttered. FDA Commissioner Margaret Hamburg called them “a more user-friendly version.”

But they probably are several years away. The FDA will take comments on the proposal for 90 days, and a final rule could take another year. Once it’s final, the agency has proposed giving industry two years to comply.

The agency projects food companies will have to pay around $2 billion to revise labels. Companies have resisted some of the changes in the past, including listing added sugars, but the industry is so far withholding criticism.

Pamela Bailey of the Grocery Manufacturers Association, the industry group that represents the nation’s largest food companies, called the proposal a “thoughtful review.”

It is still not yet clear what the final labels will look like.

Russia raises stakes in Ukraine conflict

By DALTON BENNETT and MARIA DANILOVA The Associated Press SIMFEROPOL, Ukraine – Masked gunmen stormed parliament in Ukraine’s strategic Crimea region Thursday as Russian fighter jets scrambled to patrol borders, while the newly formed government pledged to prevent a national breakup with strong backing from the West – the stirrings of a potentially dangerous confrontation reminiscent of Cold War brinksmanship.

Moscow granted shelter to Ukraine’s fugitive president, Viktor Yanukovych, state media said. He was said to be holed up in a luxury government retreat and to have

scheduled a news conference Friday near the Ukrainian border.

As gunmen wearing unmarked camouflage uniforms erected a sign reading “Crimea is Russia” in the provincial capital, Ukraine’s interim prime minister declared the Black Sea territory “has been and will be a part of Ukraine.”

The escalating conflict sent Ukraine’s finances plummeting further, prompting Western leaders to prepare an emergency financial package.

Yanukovych, whose abandonment of closer ties to Europe in favor of a bailout loan from Russia set off three months of protests, finally fled by helicopter last

week as his allies deserted him. The humiliating exit was a severe blow to Russian President Vladimir Putin, who had been celebrating his signature Olympics even as Ukraine’s drama came to a head. The Russian leader has long dreamed of pulling Ukraine – a country of 46 million people considered the cradle of Russian civilization – closer into Moscow’s orbit.

For Ukraine’s neighbors, the specter of Ukraine breaking up evoked memories of centuries of bloody conflict.

“Regional conflicts begin this way,” said Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski, calling the confrontation “a very dangerous game.”

LOS ANGELES – A Los Angeles International Airport police dispatcher who received a call seconds after a gunman opened fire last year didn’t know where to send officers because no one was on the line and the airport communications system didn’t identify that the call was from a security checkpoint emergency phone, two officials told The Associated Press.

A screening supervisor in the sprawling airport’s Terminal 3 picked up the phone but fled before responding to a dispatcher’s questions because the gunman was approaching with a high-powered rifle and spraying bullets, according to two officials briefed on preliminary findings of a review of the emergency response. They spoke only on condition of anonymity because the final report won’t be released until next month.

OPINION

Don T. Bricker Vice President and Publisher

Robert Wall General Manager

Kate Schott Editor

ANOTHER VIEW

An opportunity to right-size military In crafting a military budget for a nation not at war for the first time in 13 years, the challenge is to transform U.S. forces to meet changing security demands while slashing spending.

There is pain and risk in the plan that Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel previewed this week to meet those twin imperatives. But the transformation has to happen, and the $496-billion military budget for 2015 that the administration will send to Congress next week – down from $520 billion in 2014, not counting $92 billion for the war in Afghanistan – is a reasonable blueprint.

It would reduce troop strength in every military branch, active and reserve, while increasing only special forces. For instance, the Army would be cut from 520,000 active-duty troops to about 440,000, the smallest number in decades.

Overhead would be slashed through cuts in headquarters budgets and civilian personnel.

An entire class of Air Force fighter jets would be eliminated. And active-duty military personnel would get a pay raise of only 1 percent.

The downsizing is appropriate, but it isn’t risk free. Hagel said it would create some gaps in training and diminish the U.S. military’s capability to execute extended or simultaneous ground operations.

But the public has no stomach for long, grinding ground wars like those in Iraq and Afghanistan. The threat from nations with big armies has been surpassed by terrorism, which is better met with small, mobile special forces.

And deep troop cuts would enable the military to hit spending targets in the Budget Control Act of 2011 while sustaining readiness and technological superiority, a necessary balance.

But Congress has to get real. Hagel warned that a return to the deep, across-the-board cuts slated for 2016 under sequestration would compromise national security. That’s debatable, but Congress can’t keep demanding savings while rejecting attempts to actually cut spending.

It can’t continue pumping up military pay and benefits that have risen 40 percent more than growth in the private sector since 2001 – and more than the Department of Defense requested.

Congress can’t keep rejecting benefit cuts, such as the small reduction in cost-of-living increases for some military retirees it passed and then repealed this year. It can’t continue favoring weapons systems based on where they’re built rather than whether they’re needed, or rejecting the department’s request to close domestic bases, as it has for two years.

This is an opportunity to create the military the nation needs. Congress must seize the moment.

VIEWS

Government has gone out of control

By ANN MCFEATTERS MCT News Service WASHINGTON – Sometimes the federal government makes us a tiny bit nervous. Actually, sometimes the government seems completely bonkers.

The ever-more-powerful Department of Homeland Security, which is so huge they’d have to kill you if you knew how big it really is, has gotten into its head that it wants to hire a private company to track license plates to locate “wanted individuals.”

This is so hare-brained on so many levels, we have to shudder.

(Pause for some seriously significant shuddering.)

First, hiring private contractors to launch President Barack Obama’s health insurance overhaul hasn’t gone all that well.

Second, this government is being rebuked around the globe for violating absolutely everyone’s civil rights and collecting

way too much information while letting contractors steal sacred passwords so more secrets can be leaked.

This government even listened in on German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s cell phone, for heaven’s sakes, had to apologize, and then complained bitterly when the Russians listened in on one of our diplomats.

Third, the ostensible reason for such an enormous privately maintained database – finding illegal immigrants and sending them back home – is nonsensical for an administration that is deporting more undocumented people than ever and can’t even process the ones they find in a timely fashion.

And this is an administration that says it wants to reform immigration laws so that the 11 million people already here without papers can stay, work, and eventually gain citizenship.

Doesn’t anyone in this administration ever read science fiction?

Don’t they know that huge databases full of information inevitably will result in innocent people’s lives being irreparably destroyed?

“I was nowhere near Indiana when that bank was robbed. I was at home in Ohio sound asleep.”

Sure, you were. Prove it. The license plate detection police have a picture of your car outside the bank.

Doesn’t anyone in this administration watch TV? Every night on some cop show a commercial firm is stealing private information and using it for blackmail or terrorism or some other evil intent.

According to The Washington Post, nobody in DHS has figured out yet how long the data would be kept, what would be a valid “investigative lead” to warrant checking the database, and who exactly could check the license plate database to find someone’s whereabouts.

Matter not settled To the Editor: I’m writing this in response to the guest editorial, “Michael Sam throws stereotypes for a loss,” (Feb. 12, Opinion page). This editorial follows the theme that the matter of gays is settled. And that anybody who disagrees with this is a prejudiced, homophobe living in the past. Strange that the exact author is unidentified. The matter is not settled.

I don’t care about Sam’s sexual preference, and I suspect that this is a common reaction. Why it has to be mentioned in every form of the media is beyond me. There is an old story about a strange belief that is appropriate here. There was a group of people in the U.S. who believed that you can marry and live with a spouse, but you must not have any sexual relations with them. They were known as Shakers. They built wonderful furniture and other things as well but they were doomed from day one. You see, they had no heirs. It was kind of a deviant vision of what they believed would please God.

In the coming years, gays will depart from this world with no one to mourn them. It is a self-evident process, and that’s why some of them desperately want to adopt children. How can children be raised normally with a man-man or woman-woman home? Aren’t they likely to see what they do with each other? How will it be explained to them as normal, healthy behavior? But this is a matter for another discussion. It would seem the opinions expressed here are not shared by the president, vice president, governor of Illinois, and mayor of Chicago, all of whom openly favor gay rights. Who is on the wrong side of this question?

This matter will be settled once and for all when the gays, inevitably, go the way of the Shakers.

The government-is-daft argument No. 2: A new study, by the always-conscientious Congressional Budget Office, finds that if impoverished Americans who struggle to survive on $7.25 an hour get a raise in the minimum wage so they can get out of poverty, 500,000 other Americans will lose their jobs. Just like that.

In other words, if you have a fast-food job and you make $7.25 an hour and you have to go on food stamps to feed your family, you can’t get a nationally mandated raise to $10.10 an hour, as Obama proposes, because your friend Joe who works with you will lose his job.

To the Editor: March 18, we have the opportunity to make some choices. Don’t say, “It’s only the primary” and not bother to vote. Usually, incumbents have the edge. It’s high time that we get off our butts and make changes that benefit the people and not career politicians. I am tired of people whose only concern is staying in office. Decisions aren’t made for the good of the country or state, but to buy votes. We need new people and new action. Let career politicians get out and get a real job and find out what it’s like to support a family with today’s high unemployment, high taxes and decreased buying power.

Incumbents say “just re-elect me and I’ll get things done.” Big welfare programs are intended to keep people voting for the guys that keep giving the freebies.

Working for a living, being responsible for yourself and your actions, and paying your own way have become negative ideas. We have gone nuts with being politically correct. We have laws and regulations for almost every aspect of our lives. Nothing is fixed, it’s just raise taxes, spend more and push the problems down the road. Stop accepting Illinois being 49th in the country. High taxes, high unemployment, flight of businesses and poor education. It is time to stop spending us into bankruptcy.

GIRLS BASKETBALL: CLASS 3A LINCOLN-WAY WEST SECTIONAL: JOLIET CATHOLIC 78, BISHOP McNAMARA 70

Angels ride fast start to sectional title, hold on Sanders, McNamara

By DICK GOSS dgoss@shawmedia.com

• Friday, February 28, 2014

NEW LENOX – The Joliet Catholic girls basketball team came out of the gates on fire in Thursday night’s championship game of the IHSA Class 3A Lincoln-Way West Sectional.

Before it was over, however, the Angels had another flame to extinguish.

Bishop McNamara 5-foot7 junior guard Khadaizha Sanders scored 22 of her 35 points in the second half as the Fighting Irish threw a scare into JCA before Nicole Ekhomu’s midcourt steal and layup with 48 seconds left sewed up the Angels’ 78-70 victory.

“It got a little scary, but Nikki made the big play,” said her sister, senior guard Christine Ekhomu. “I’m proud of her.”

JCA (26-2), which lost to East Suburban Catholic rival McNamara, 72-63, in last year’s sectional semifinal but had beaten the Irish twice previously this season, will meet Washington in Monday night’s supersectional at Lewis University. The winner earns a berth in next Friday’s state semifinals at Illinois State University in Normal.

The Angels raced to a 32-14 first-quarter lead as Jasmine Lumpkin hit all seven shots and all three free throws for 17 of her team-high 25 points.

The lead grew to 37-16 when freshman forward Jnaya Walker nailed a 3-pointer with 6:04 left in the second quarter.

Sanders, however, was just getting into the flow. She lifted the Irish back to within 44-31 at halftime.

Christine Ekhomu, who was scoreless in the first half, took charge in the third quarter. She scored seven quick points to stretch the lead to 55-36, but McNamara would not quit.

The Angels’ margin had dwindled to 72-67 with less than a minute left when Ek-

“We got off to the good start, but you knew they would come at us full throttle,” JCA coach Ed Schodrof said. “They have good tradition on their side. And Sanders is top-tier for a reason.”

Nicole Ekhomu finished with 22 points, 14 in the final eight minutes, 34 seconds.

Christine Ekhomu scored 13 second-half points, including 7-of-7 free throws.

“That was nice senior leaderhip on Christine’s part, to step up and score in the third quarter,” Schodrof said. “It wasn’t planned, it was her doing.”

“They were really emphasizing covering the middle, so I couldn’t get the ball to Jas-

mine (Lumpkin),” Christine Ekhomu said. “Then when I went left, they were overplaying Nikki (Ekhomu) and I couldn’t get it to her, either.

“So I was open. I got into the lane and got some opportunities to knock down free throws.”

JCA also received 14 com-

bined points from freshmen forwards Walker and Ty Battle, all in the first half. When Lumpkin began attracting heavy defensive attention, she set up the freshmen for easy buckets.

“They were all covering Jasmine,” Battle said. “She said to keep skipping the ball

and they would get tired.

“It’s amazing to play with Jasmine. Playing with her has made us way better.”

The Angels had to contend with the magician that is Sanders, who made 6-of-11 3-pointers and gets to the basket and finish with the best of them. She is considering Michigan State, where Lumpkin will play next season.

“She is a great player,” said the 6-foot Lumpkin, who was on Sanders often at the top of JCA’s 1-3-1 defense.

“She is fast and has a lot of moves. It’s hard to contain her.”

“She’s a great player, has a lot of talent,” Christine Ekhomu said. “We’re friends off the court.”

Sanders had 39 points in last year’s sectional win over JCA. This time, her 35 was not enough.

Bengals capture league title on senior night

The Herald-News / TheHerald-News.com • Friday, February 28, 2014

By CURT HERRON cherron@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – Senior night turned out to be a special one for Plainfield East’s boys basketball team Thursday.

Not only did coach Branden Adkins’ program honor its five seniors in their regular season finale with District 202 rival Plainfield Central.

But the Bengals broke open a tight contest with the Wildcats to capture their second Southwest Prairie Conference championship in the past three years.

Central (13-13, 7-7 SPC) pulled to within 37-33 late in the third period, but East (189, 11-3) responded by scoring the final five points in the third and the initial 10 in the fourth to help it claim a 58-42 victory.

“I’m really excited for our seniors, especially on

senior night,” Adkins said.

“Throughout the week we told them that this was a unique opportunity to be able to clinch a conference championship on their senior night.

“It wasn’t pretty and we didn’t play the way that we wanted to. I thought we played tight. I didn’t think that we attacked like we should or defend like we’ve been able to. But we eventually turned up the tempo defensively and created some turnovers.”

Adkins started his senior group, Tristin Esker, Darrick Gardner, Myles Ward, Nick Novak and Joshua Smith, and they all did their part to help the Bengals’ cause.

Aaron Jordan came off the spark to provide the spark that the hosts needed, scoring a game-high 25 points while also grabbing six rebounds.

“I’m really excited for our seniors, especially on senior night. Throughout the week we told them that this was a unique opportunity to be able to clinch a conference championship on their senior night.”

Branden Adkins Plainield East boys basketball coach That was especially the case as Central narrowed a 30-22 halftime deficit to just four 37-33 with 1:18 left in the third quarter after Robbie Brooks (11 points, six rebounds) converted an old-fashioned three-point play.

Jordan closed that period by hitting two free throws before making a conventional three-point play to give the hosts a 42-33 lead with eight minutes remaining.

James Claar (five points) kicked off the final period with a 3 and then Novak (eight points) hit a pair of

jumpers and Ward (five points, eight rebounds) completed the run with a rebound bucket and a free throw.

“This was a great feeling,” Novak said. “Ever since last March we established that we wanted to win a conference championship and we were going hard ever since.

We had our ups and downs but we were able to pull it out.

“We turned up the pressure a little bit at the end of the first half and then again in the second half. And that pressure is really what created our offense and made

for easy transition buckets.

I think two words characterize our team, unity and dedication.”

The Bengals also received six points from Esker and five points and eight rebounds from Smith.

Central was paced by Logan Velasquez, who scored 12 points and grabbed 11 rebounds. In addition, Brad Hund added nine points and seven boards and Dwight Watkins chipped in with eight points for the Wildcats.

“I took a timeout with a minute left to tell the guys about how proud of them I was because of how hard we played,” Wildcats coach Steve Lamberti said. “I’ll go to sleep tonight feeling okay about that.

“But I’ll wake up thinking about the lack of execution at the end of the third and the start of the fourth. That’s when we let it get away from us a little bit.”

The Rangers (8-18, 4-14) tied it at 42 with 10:01 to play on a basket by Danielle Slivka and took a 43-42 lead just 30 seconds later on a free throw

by Gaby Bronson.

Lewis, however, stepped on the gas after that, outscoring Parkside, 27-13, the rest of the way.

“Parkside is a big rival for us,” Carlsen said. “It’s always one of those games where you can throw away the records.

They did a good job early of switching and doubling and

making us tentative. We are built to get the ball inside and we settle a bit for other shots early. Later on, we did a better job of getting quality shots.”

Not only was the offense better for Lewis late in the game, so was the rebounding, especially from Reinhart and Henley.

“We did a very good job on the boards late,” Carlsen said. “Parkside is a physical team and you have to go to the boards and after loose balls hard agianst them.”

16-game home win streak ends

By ROB OESTERLE roesterle@shawmedia.com ROMEOVILLE – For most of the first half Thursday night, neither No. 18 Lewis’ nor No. 24 Wisconsin-Parkside’s men’s basketball team could buy a bucket.

Suddenly, however, Parkside heated up a little bit and grabbed momentum in the form of a 32-26 halftime lead over the Flyers, en route to a 76-70 Great Lakes Valley Conference win. In the process, Parkside ended Lewis’ 16-game win streak at Neil Carey Arena.

Jordan Mach hit a three-pointer just before the halftime buzzer to send the Rangers (22-5, 15-3 GLVC) into the locker room with their second-largest lead of the night. They had led 27-20

with 2:36 to go, only to see Lewis cut it to 29-26 on a short jumper by Ryan Jackson with 32 seconds to play.

Lewis (21-5, 13-5) jumped out to a 4-0 lead on a basket and a pair of free throws by Jeff Jarosz.

Parkside rallied to take an 11-6 lead, but Lewis came back to take a 15-13 lead on a putback basket by Kyle Nelson. Julian Lewis tied the game at 18 for Lewis with a free throw at the 4:46 mark, but Parkside outscored the Flyers 14-8 the rest of the half.

Lewis got behind by 11, 3928, early in the second half, but a quick 6-3 run cut it to 4234 with 15:00 to go. Parkside answered, as 6-foot-9 Zygimantas Riauka hit a pair of free throws, then Mach hit a 3-pointer to make it 47-34 with 13:58 to go, forcing a Lewis

timeout.

The pep talk by Flyers coach Scott Trost worked, as Lewis drove and scored, drawing a foul on Riauka, his third, sending him to the bench.

Lewis completed the threepoint play and Nick Valla followed with a driving layup to make it 47-39. Lewis forced an errant shot, and Ryan Jackson drove for a hoop to make it 47-41.

Another Jackson basket made it 47-43, but Mach ended the Lewis run with a three-pointer for a 50-43 Parkside lead. Jarosz followed with a drive to the bucket to trim the lead to 5045 with 9:48 to play.

Raiuka returned and promptly made a basket, then passed outside to Colt Grandstaff, who drained a 3-pointer

to give Parkside a 55-45 lead with 7:50 to play.

A 3-pointer by Jarosz made it 57-50, but Riauka made a pair of free throws and a basket to give Parkside a 61-50 lead. A basket by Lincoln-Way Central’s Brad Foster cut it to single digits, 6354 with 3:46 to go. With 2:26 to go, Foster got a tip-in and cut the lead to 63-56. However, Andy Mazurczak completed a three-point play with 2:13 to play, putting Parkside ahead 66-56.

Lewis cut the lead to five points with 22.2 seconds left, but could get no closer.

Jarosz led Lewis with 19 points before fouling out with 1:06 to play. Jackson added 15.

Raiuka led all scorers with 21 points, with Machand Mazurczak each scoring 15 for Parkside.

ROMEOVILLE – At stake for the Lewis women’s basketball team was a 24-game win streak at Neil Carey Arena, as well as revenge for an earlier loss to Wisconsin-Parkside.

At stake for Wisconsin-Parkside was a postseason berth.

All signs pointed to a classic, and it turned out to be.

In the end, No. 13 Lewis prevailed, 69-56, behind 29 points and 12 rebounds from sophomore center Mariyah Henley,

who has yet to lose a game at home in her college career.

“I want to keep that streak going as long as I can,” Henley said. “It’s always tough playing against Parkside. Coach (Lisa Carlsen) told us at halftime that we weren’t rebounding very well. We wanted to come out and make Coach proud in the second half.”

They did that, as the Flyers (22-4, 16-2 Great Lakes Valley Conference) owned a 42-37 rebounding edge. Jessica Reinhart had 12 boards along with Henley.

Bibbs adds local flavor to NFL Combine, Draft VIEWS Dick Goss A product of Joliet-area high school football often becomes a story at the NFL Combine and the subsequent NFL Draft.

The combine concluded earlier this week in Indianapolis, and from all reports, Kapri Bibbs came off as anything but a routine prospect. No surprise there.

During Bibbs’ senior season at Plainfield North, he showed the world he was everything a running back would want to be.

He was strong, durable, quick, gained the tough yards and ran away from defenders when he hit the open field. I recall covering a meaningful game where he rushed 54 times for 354 yards, and if not for time expiring, he could have carried another 25 or 30 times. It was incredible.

Last fall, in his first season at Colorado State, Bibbs finished sixth in the Football Bowl Subdivision – that’s the big boys – with 1,741 rushing yards. He gained 312 yards in 30 carries against Nevada. He averaged 6.2 yards overall and tied for the FBS lead in rushing touchdowns with 31.

And, he did not become the Rams’ starting tailback until the seventh game of the season.

The sophomore, 21, raised eyebrows when he declared for the NFL Draft shortly after the bowl season concluded.

His explanation was that he is healthy now and there’s no guarantee that will continue.

In addition, four seniors, a majority of his escort service, are leaving Colorado State’s solid offensive line.

When he was interviewed before the combine, Bibbs said when he watches himself on film, he sees a little bit of Bo Jackson. He was quoted that he feels he could have been a first-round prospect had he played in the Southeastern Conference.

Colorado State running back Kapri Bibbs runs for a short gain against Air Force in the third quarter of Colorado State’s 58-13 victory in Fort Collins, Colo., on, Nov. 30. Bibbs was in Indianapolis this past week for the NFL Combine.

Whether that is true is open to debate. But he certainly has a positive image of what he can do on the field.

His performance at the combine suggests he is strong as running backs go but perhaps not as fast or athletic as some. He was third among running backs in the bench press (24 reps at 225 pounds), 24th among 33 in the 40 (4.67 seconds), tied for 30th in the vertical jump (29 inches) and 31st in the standing long jump (8-10).

The numbers mean different things to different NFL teams. What they see on film may be more important, and so may the interviews the prospective players are put through. I’m sure Bibbs handled that aspect of the combine very well.

The draft gurus are divided on whether Bibbs will be a mid-round pick, a late-round pick or perhaps go undrafted.

It would be interesting if the Bears were able to get him, either as a late draft pick or a free agent, and groom him as the eventual successor to Matt Forte. But that’s me dreaming.

Bibbs is not a poor student but did not realize until late in his high school career that he could be short on credits in a core course, that he would have difficulty getting through the NCAA Clearinghouse. So he attended two junior colleges in the West – and played one

season of football – before enrolling at Colorado State.

His story is different, no doubt about it. But it does make you think about the NFL and what goes into forming teams into winners.

The draft is huge, and you never want to miss on your first-round picks. Yet, plenty of starters, a few of whom even develop into All-Pros, are selected in middle and late rounds. Others are obtained as free agents and become mainstays.

An example of the latter is New England defensive end Rob Ninkovich, who played at Lincoln-Way Central, Joliet Junior College and Purdue before knocking around the NFL for a few years. In fact, he appeared in only eight games over his first three seasons.

But after signing as a free agent with the Patriots in August 2009, his career took off.

He not only has started the last few seasons, first at outside linebacker and currently at defensive end, but he signed a long-term contract in September last season and was named a defensive captain in October.

Ninkovich became a feelgood story – a feather in the cap of our area – later in his career. Things are popping early for Bibbs. I can’t wait to see where he is five years from now, and how he got there.

With the NFL, you never know.

Garza signs one-year, $1.5 million contract

By PATRICK FINLEY Chicago Sun-Times After setting a franchise yardage record and finishing second in the NFL in points last year, the Bears are getting the band back together.

Center Roberto Garza signed a one-year, $1.5 million contract Thursday, meaning every offensive starter is

set to return for coach Marc Trestman’s second season.

Garza will play his 10th year with the Bears at age 35, but wouldn’t rule out playing beyond the end of the deal.

“They knew I wanted to come back and they wanted me back,” Garza told the Sun-Times. “I’m at the point in my career that I was able to make a decision to stay in Chicago. ...

“It would have been hard to go somewhere new and start over.

“I don’t want to go anywhere else. I want to retire a Chicago Bear.”

Negotiations started a few days ago. Lions center Dominic Raiola, 35, “absolutely” helped to set the market, Garza said, when he signed a similar deal earlier this month.

“It feels good,” Garza said.

“I’m fortunate I haven’t had to deal with much negotiation throughout my year. ...

“The waiting process was not good for me.

“I’m not a very patient man.”

Pro Football Focus rated Garza, who hasn’t missed a regular-season game since 2010, its 12th-best center last season.

WHAT TO WATCH Pro basketball Bulls at Dallas, 7:30 p.m., CSN Solid defense has been a staple for the Bulls under coach Tom Thibodeau, but a suddenly potent offense has helped carry them a season-high five games over .500. They weren’t as successful on either end of the floor in their first meeting with the Mavs, though. The Bulls seek their eighth victory in nine games in Dallas, which has won four straight.

NEW YORK – Cam Talbot, subbing for resting Olympian Henrik Lundqvist, stopped 31 shots, and Derick Brassard and Rick Nash scored as the New York Rangers returned from the Sochi break with a 2-1 victory over the Blackhawks on Thursday night.

Talbot got the nod after Lundqvist received extended work in Sweden’s run to the gold medal game in the Olympics. Talbot made the most of his opportunity, getting his 11th career win in 18 NHL games – all this season.

He was 11.6 seconds away from a shutout, but Peter Regin scored after goalie Corey Crawford was pulled. Patrick Kane nearly tied it seconds later, but Talbot stopped him with his pad.

The defending Stanley Cup champion Hawks came in with an NHL-best 202 goals and 3.37 goalsper-game average this season.

New York has won six of seven.

Lundqvist is expected to play Saturday in Philadelphia when the Rangers start a back-to-back set.

Brassard scored in the first period, and Nash doubled the lead with 4:07 left in the game.

Crawford made 22 saves for the Hawks, which was nearly blanked for the second straight game after not being shut out in its first 59 games this season.

The starting lineups featured seven Olympians and four members of Canada’s gold-medal winning team. The Rangers and Black-

hawks had been off since Feb. 7.

The Rangers got off to a quick start and grabbed the lead 10:14 in on Brassard’s 12th goal and fourth in five games.

Benoit Pouliot intercepted a clearing attempt in the middle of the Hawks’ zone and passed the puck left to Brassard for a shot from the slot.

The puck bounced back to Brassard, who fired it in.

New York took the only two penalties in the opening frame, but killed them in front of Talbot, who made his fourth start in 11 games.

He denied Kane in close during Chicago’s second power play with 2:06 left in the first period.

The Hawks failed on their third advantage of the night late in the second after Rangers captain Ryan Callahan, the subject of trade rumors, was sent off for hooking.

Talbot kept the Hawks at bay during the scoreless second period – turning aside all eight shots in the frame and 19 through 40 minutes.

His best stop came with 5:30 left in the second when he moved quickly to his right to deny a hard drive by Brandon Saad that appeared headed for the inside of the left post.

The Hawks nearly got even 5:29 into the third, but multiple whacks at a loose puck amid six players in the crease weren’t enough to push it across the line. A video review confirmed the puck never entered the net.

In the second, Crawford briefly let a long shot trickle behind him before he quickly reached back to cover it.

AND THE OSCAR GOES TO...

Plainield native’s husband is animator for Disney’s ‘Frozen,’ up for Academy Award

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

any people might jump at receiving an Academy Award nomination.

Yet, Luis Labrador, 46, husband of Plainfield native Leza Raley-Labrador and a senior modeler at Walt Disney Animation Studios, is surprisingly nonchalant about his role with “Frozen.” The 86th Academy Awards are scheduled for Sunday.

“It’s a great movie; look at how much money it’s making,” Labrador said. “A lot of talented people have put a lot of hours of hard work into it.

It makes you feel good that the work is paying off. It’s great having the family be proud of you.”

According to www.imdb. com, Labrador’s past credited work includes “Watchmen” (2009), “I Am Legend” (2007), “Superman Returns” (2006), “Monster House” (2006) and “The Matrix Revolutions.”

Raley-Labrador is thrilled for her husband.

“It’s a magical film,” Raley-Labrador said, “and it’s got a great message about acceptance and not judging people.

One thing I love about the new animated films are the underlying positive messages.

Disney excels at that.”

Growing up in Madrid, Labrador couldn’t think past movies: watching movies, collecting movies – as well as newspaper clippings about movies – and dreaming about making movies, although he did enjoy playing with the clay his mother bought him when he was 10 years old.

“My parents thought I was crazy,” Labrador said. “I only got drunk once in my life; I don’t drink socially; and I’ve never done drugs. My only drug was to go see movies.”

The self-taught Labrador dabbled in special effects, “makeup, prosthetics and

“Then one year, up comes dinosaurs made on the computer,” Labrador said, referring to “Jurassic Park,” the 1993 Steven Spielberg science fiction movie. “I thought, ‘I’d better learn how to do these things or I’ll be out of a job.’ ” So in 1996, Labrador moved to California, spent several thousand dollars on a computer and software, and taught

himself the art and skill of character modeling.

“It was not easy,” Labrador said.

His first job character modeling job was with Gentle Giant studios. From there, Labrador worked as a senior character modeler for Sony Picture Imageworks and then DreamWorks Animation before moving to his current position.

Walt Disney Animation Studios is Labrador’s favorite studio because of its unique

combination of high professionalism and equally high friendliness, he said.

“In many big studios, you become almost like a number.

Here, I’m not just No. 246 and I like that,” Labrador said. “Disney is picky about everything.

The story, the characters and the animation is way better here than anywhere else and that’s the truth.”

Labrador and Raley-Labrador, a former fashion agent, met nine years ago through Yahoo personals. It had worked well for a friend of Labrador, who had encouraged Labrador to give it a try.

Ironically, just as Labrador messaged Raley-Labrador, she had let her account expire.

“I received this nice letter in my inbox,” Raley-Labrador said, “and I had to re-sign up to reply.”

The two immediately bonded and talked multiple times a day, Raley-Labrador said. Instinctively knowing that Labrador was “the one,” Raley-Labrador impulsively decided to move to California.

The couple has been married eight years.

“When we finally met, we had been talking on the phone every day for three months, so it wasn’t the, ‘Oh, first date, be all nervous,’ ” Labrador said.

“It was more like, ‘Hey, here you are again; I can see you now and not just hear your voice.’ ” In 2010, the couple founded a production company, Digital Breathing (www.digitalbreathing.net). They showed their first major project, “It’s Dark in Here” at various film festivals and are currently working on a short that Labrador can pitch to producers.

Labrador is currently working on “Big Hero 6,” which is scheduled for release in November, according to movies.disney.com/big-hero-6. With Labrador’s determination, talent and drive, Raley-Labrador knows her husband’s success will only increase.

“Five years from now,” Raley-Labrador said, “I know he’ll be directing.”

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

PLOT: Based on the failed June 28,

– The Associated Press

“Monuments Men” STARRING: George Clooney, Matt Damon, Bill Murray and Cate Blanchett

PLOT: An unlikely World War II platoon are tasked to rescue art masterpieces from Nazi thieves and return them to their owners.

RATED: PG-13, for some images of war violence and historical smoking TIME: 1 hour, 58 minutes VERDICT: George Clooney, movie director, has very good taste, and in adapting Robert M. Edsel and Bret Witter’s book by the same title about the Allied forces’ pursuit of art masterpieces stolen by Nazis, he has chosen a fascinating historical tale that also bears the intriguing question: What’s the price we’re willing to pay for art? But while a Michelangelo may be worth dying for, “The Monuments Men” is, at best, adequately priced as a movie ticket. Clooney, working from a script he penned with his frequent collaborator Grant Heslov,

“Non-Stop” STARRING: Liam Neeson, Julianne Moore, Lupita Nyong’o PLOT: An air marshal springs into action during a transatlantic light after receiving a series of text messages that put his fellow passengers at risk unless the airline transfers $150 million into an off-shore account.

RATED: PG-13, for intense sequences of action and violence, some language, sensuality and drug references TIME: 1 hour, 36 minutes VERDICT: Settling in for a ilm that takes place almost entirely on an airplane, as does the latest Liam Neeson action lick “Non-Stop,” one’s instinct is to search for the nearest sleeping pill. After federal air marshal Bill Marks (Neeson) morosely guzzles some whiskey in his car outside JFK Airport, he boards the plane headed for Heathrow that he’s to protect, that will be the setting from here on out. Things pick up when down the aisle strolls stewardesses Michelle Dockery and Lupita Nyong’o.

The plane populates with our cast: Julianne Moore (Marks’ chatty seatmate), a school teacher (Scoot McNairy), a tough New Yorker (Corey Stroll) and a Muslim doctor (Omar Metwally). Neeson begins getting mysterious text messages from a hijacker on board – a snake on the plane, if you will – who says someone will die every 20 minutes until $150 million is sent to an off-shore account.

In the film’s best image, Marks has all the passengers hold their hands up. But it takes an awful lot of implausibility to keep the story airborne. The manner of the deaths turns suspicion to Marks, himself, and even his boss (via phone) believes he’s the terrorist. Moore breathes life into the claustrophobia, as does Dockery – both helpful aids to

Marks. Nyong’o, the young Oscar-nominated actress of “12 Years a Slave,” has barely a line, but sports a cool flat top.

But the question is – as was with the similarly European-backed, one-word titled thrillers “Taken,” ‘’Taken 2” and “Unknown” – what to make of this unlikely action hero turn for Neeson at 61? The movies, “Non-Stop” included, are simple, mostly serviceable genre flicks that are smart enough to dispense with exposition but not witty enough to put three acts together. Neeson’s presence – wounded, intelligent, honorable – is much sturdier than these films, which he elevates with ease. On “60 Minutes” recently, Neeson was himself bemused and rather sheepish about this career turn to movies he acknowledged were “straight-to-video” stuff. But his suggestion that he came to “Taken” and the rest because it allowed him to busy himself after the death of his wife, Natasha Richardson, gives these movies a melancholy poetry: The weary Neeson, kicking butt to keep the demons at bay.

“Pompeii” STARRING: Kit Harington, Carrie-Anne Moss, Emily Browning, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Paz Vega, Jared Harris, Kiefer Sutherland PLOT: Set in 79 A.D., “Pompeii” tells the epic story of Milo, a slave turned invincible gladiator who inds himself in a race against time to save his true love Cassia, the beautiful daughter of a wealthy merchant who has been unwillingly betrothed to the corrupt Roman Senator. As Mount Vesuvlus erupts in a torrent of blazing lava, Milo must ight his way out of the arena to save his beloved as the once magniicent Pompeii crumbles around him.

RATED: PG-13 for intense battle sequences, disaster-related action and brief sexual content.

TIME: 1 hour, 35 minutes VERDICT: “Pompeii” has a killer ending.

Billowing clouds of ash swallow the ancient Roman town, and fireballs rain down from above; whole city blocks slide into the sea, and a tsunami tears through the streets, leveling everything in its path. When Mount Vesuvius erupts – feel free to direct spoiler complaints to Pliny the Younger – the movie is completely absorbing.

You just have to sit through more than an hour of derivative plot and tired dialogue to get there. The similarities between “Gladiator” and “Pompeii” are hard to overstate. In both cases, you have a warrior who’s enslaved after his family is murdered. In both cases, he turns out to have an exceptional talent for killing people, he befriends

an African gladiator, and he falls in love with a woman leagues above his social standing. But only in “Pompeii” does the protagonist talk to horses. Milo (Kit Harington from “Game of Thrones”) could be a star if he weren’t stuck in provincial Londinium. Most of the movie is taken up by scene after scene of gladiatorial games, but when Milo isn’t fighting, he’s sharing passionate looks with Cassia and steely glares with Corvus. None of this really matters once the ground begins to shake. Then the movie transitions from a “Gladiator” clone to a less successful Roland Emmerich catastrophe pic.

That being said, “Pompeii” does Emmerich one better in the special effects department. – The Washington Post

“RoboCop” STARRING: Joel Kinnaman, Gary Oldman and Michael Keaton

PLOT: In 2028 Detroit, when police oficer Alex Murphy (Joel Kinnaman) is critically injured in the line of duty, the multinational conglomerate OmniCorp sees its chance for a partman, part-robot police oficer.

RATED: PG-13 for intense sequences of action including frenetic gun violence throughout, brief strong language, sensuality and some drug material.

TIME: 1 hour, 58 minutes VERDICT: The original 1987 “RoboCop,” Dutch director Paul Verhoeven’s first Hollywood film, isn’t so much a movie to revere as a bit of brutalism to behold. Peter Weller’s RoboCop was a techno-Frankenstein created to tame Detroit’s rampant crime: Dirty Harry for dystopia. Remaking “RoboCop” is like trying to re-create a nightmare. That’s one reason why plans to remake the film were met with mostly dubious derision: Directed by Jose Padilha (the Brazilian filmmaker who made the excellent documentary “Bus 174” before shifting into action with “Elite Squad”), this “RoboCop” has updated the dystopia with some clever ideas and better acting, while at the same time sanitizing any satire with video-game polish and sequel baiting. The smartest addition comes early, shifting the story to Tehran, where the global company OmniCorp has drones stopping and frisking in the streets. We’re introduced to this by talk show host Pat Novak (Sam Jackson), who appears throughout the film, brazenly promoting Pentagon propaganda, trying to convince what he calls a “robot-phobic” American public that OmniCorp drones can make the U.S. safer, too. It’s a damning starting point that already positions America as the propagator of emotionless killing

machines. – The Associated Press

“Son of God” STARRING: Diogo Morgado, Amber Rose Revah and Sebastian Knapp

PLOT: The life story of Jesus is told from his humble birth through his teachings, cruciixion and ultimate resurrection.

RATED: PG-13 for intense and bloody depiction of cruciixion, and for some sequences of violence.

TIME: 2 hours, 18 minutes VERDICT: Is it possible to love Jesus and not like “Son of God”?

That’s the slightly discomfiting question some viewers might face upon seeing the feature film, presented by producers Roma Downey and Mark Burnett as a condensed form of their 2013 History Channel miniseries, “The Bible.” Such bold repurposing (and monetizing) of their property may strike some observers as the ultimate in, you should pardon the expression, chutzpah. But “Son of God” is nothing if not sincere, its earnest retelling of Jesus’ life story resembling a gentle, pop-up book version of the New Testament. After a brief scene at the manger, the film focuses on his teachings as an adult, a series of tableaux that play like the Messiah’s greatest hits. Those loaves and fishes?

They’re here. Casting the first stone?

Yep. Lazarus? You bet. Enough snark.

It’s easy to take pot shots at “Son of God,” which hasn’t been directed as much as cobbled together by “Bible” veteran Christopher Spencer. The visual effects are often cheesy, the dialogue leaden, the melodramatic emotionalism continually snuffing out the possibility of authentic emotion. To its credit, the film places Jesus firmly within his historical context of oppression at the hands of Roman authorities.

As for Jesus himself, the Portuguese actor Diogo Morgado is all beachy waves and beatific smiles, his teeth an impeccable white even when covered in blood. And there’s a lot of blood in “Son of God,” as well as swordplay.

There’s a lot of crying too, especially from Downey herself, who plays Jesus’ mother, Mary. “Son of God” continually falls prey to starchy, even sophomoric literalism, with Jesus’ teachings sounding like carefully rehearsed speeches and his miracles coming off like magic stunts. But Downey and Burnett clearly mean for their film to make an impact as a spiritual experience. Don’t expect to see a great film, or even a very good one. Whether you discover a meaningful channel with which to continue your walk with the film’s protagonist, however, is strictly between you and their God. – The Washington Post

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 factbased 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. 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. 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.

has fashioned his ilm as a traditional WWII lick, with a “Great Escape”-like score by Alexandre Desplat and a sentimental kind of soldierly chumminess.

A handful of museum curators and art experts have been gathered by art historian Frank Stokes (Clooney) to investigate and retake the troves of artwork the Nazis have stolen for a mammoth German museum planned

by Hitler. The platoon is ill-suited for war but bold in spirit. With this ilm, Clooney (who enjoys a self-satisfying scene telling off a Nazi) has erected a stiff monument, a worthy if undramatic tribute to those it’s based on. One wishes the movie had arrived 11 years earlier. Maybe it would have raised enough awareness to take precautions ahead of the toppling of Saddam Hussein, when Baghdad’s Iraq museum was looted of thousands of antiquities. – The Associated Press

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

• Friday, February 28, 2014

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider, for an episode of “Northern Exposure,” wrote, “Life is spontaneous and it is unpredictable; it is magical.”

Bridge is rarely spontaneous, because it requires thought. But it can occasionally be unpredictable and magical – as in this deal.

South is in three spades. The contract looks unbeatable. Surely the defenders can take only three clubs and one diamond.

Can’t declarer get into the dummy in diamonds, take the spade finesse, and collect seven spades and two diamonds (or one diamond and one heart)?

Well, strange as it may seem, the defenders can defeat the contract – but how?

South had a textbook vulnerable three-spade opening: a good seven-card suit and 6-10 high-card points. After that, no one had sufficient values to argue.

West leads the club king.

East overtakes with his ace and returns the club two. This tells West that East started with only two clubs. West wins the second trick with his eight, then cashes the club queen. What should East discard?

East must pitch a diamond.

Now West leads a fourth club and East throws another diamond.

South cannot ruff on the board, because then he would be unable to take the spade finesse. So South ruffs in his hand and plays a diamond to try to get into the dummy for the trump finesse. But West wins with his ace and leads another club, on which East jettisons his last diamond.

Declarer trumps and plays a diamond, but East ruffs the trick to defeat the contract.

Isn’t that magical?

Open email exposes wife’s secret weekend Teen’s friend accused of Dear Abby: My wife of 45 years is having an online affair with a man who is a former business client. I found out when she inadvertently left an email message open on her laptop. Her phone records confirm daily long-distance conversations, as well. Although I know they have never met personally, they plan to meet during a weekend convention at a hotel in his hometown next month.

Despite problems in our marriage, neither of us has strayed, and I’m confident she doesn’t want to lose me nor do I want to lose her.

My dilemma is whether to tell her I know what’s going on prior to her trip, or confront her when she returns with pictures taken by a private investigator. I can’t let her betrayal continue. – Conflicted In The South Dear Conflicted: Tell her sooner rather than later, so she can cancel her trip to the convention. If she’s willing to do that and work on repairing your marriage, there is a chance that your problems are fixable. If she isn’t, then face it -- your stressed marriage is over.

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips Photos from a private investigator are beside the point. The email you read is proof enough.

Dear Abby: Recently, my friend went to a wake and told me the person in the casket was holding a fork. My friend told me there is a story behind this custom. Can you tell me what it is? – Daily Reader In West Palm Beach, Fla. Dear Daily Reader: The story, titled “Keep Your Fork,” has been widely shared on the Internet. It appeared in “A Third Serving of Chicken Soup for the Soul” and was authored by Roger William Thomas.

It concerns a young woman who had been given only a short time to live, and who instructed her pastor that she would like to be buried with a fork in her right hand. She went on to say, “In all my years of attending church potluck dinners, when the dishes

of the main course were being cleared, someone would say, ‘Keep your fork.’”

She said the main course was her favorite part of the meal because she knew “something better was coming ... something wonderful, and with substance.” What she wanted was to convey to her loved ones at her funeral her belief that something better was to come.

Dear Abby: I have reconnected with my high school sweetheart.

We plan to be married late this summer. My problem is she wants to keep her ex-husband’s name as her middle name for the sake of her kids. I have told her that it upsets me. What are your thoughts?

– Traditional Man Dear Traditional: I think her reason for wanting to retain her married name is a valid one. It will prevent confusion for her children at school. Her children MUST come first, and unless you can accept that fact, you shouldn’t marry her.

Following strict paleo diet may require adding supplements Dear Doctor K: My daughter and several of her college friends are on the “paleo” diet. What is that? Is it healthy?

Dear Reader: The paleo diet, short for “Paleolithic” diet, restricts what you eat to foods the hunter-gatherers of the Stone Age ate 10,000 years ago. While the diet doesn’t require you to live like a caveman, it does require you to eat like one.

Here’s an example of what you can and can’t eat on the paleo diet: Do eat: meat (especially game meat), poultry, fish and shellfish; fresh fruits, fresh vegetables, eggs, seeds, nuts, and olive, coconut and flaxseed oils.

Don’t eat: Any food that is processed, man-made or prepackaged; all grains; legumes (including peanuts); dairy, salt, sugar, vegetable oils, potatoes.

At first glance, the paleo diet appears reasonable. It is rich in many of the foods nutrition professionals highlight. These include fresh fruits and vegetables, healthy fats, lean protein, and limited amounts of sodium and sugar. And it stresses whole foods rather than prepackaged and processed foods.

But there’s a downside.

Following the paleo diet in-

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff creases the risk of certain nutritional deficiencies. For example, cutting out all grains and legumes removes sources of certain B vitamins from the diet.

Excluding dairy could lead to a calcium deficiency. There are ways around these issues. Organ meats, particularly liver, provide B vitamins, and dark leafy greens and fish (such as sardines with the bones) are good sources of calcium.

The paleo diet is not the best option for vegetarians. Without grains, legumes and dairy, vegetarians may be hard pressed to eat enough protein. (Soy is out because it’s a legume.)

Supporters of the paleo diet claim that our ancient ancestors who ate this way didn’t suffer from the diseases that plague the modern world, such as heart and blood vessel disease and Type 2 diabetes. I think that’s a silly argument. The fact is that these ancient ancestors lived half as long as we do and never got old enough to develop diseases that typically start in older adulthood.

Bottom line: At this time, there is no strong scientific evidence for claims that a paleo diet helps prevent or treat these medical conditions.

Please don’t misunderstand: I’m not making fun of the basic idea behind the paleo diet. In fact, I’m sympathetic to it. We humans of the 21st century are not all that different, physically, from ancient humans. Yet many aspects of our life, surely including our diet, have changed radically. Maybe our health would be better if we ate like our ancient ancestors did, since that’s what our bodies were built to do. It’s a reasonable idea.

But the world is full of reasonable ideas about how to improve health, and some of them turn out to be dead wrong. Only longterm scientific studies could tell us if the paleo diet really is healthy.

This is what I tell my patients who have asked about it: Try it to see if you like it. If so, vitamin B and calcium supplements may be a good idea.

being a troublemaker Dr. Wallace: I bowl in a teen league once a week and met a girl from a neighboring high school.

We are both 14 years old and have become good friends. For her Christmas present, her parents let her get a rather radical haircut. It’s very short on one side and shoulder-length on the other. I thought it looked funny the first time I saw it, but after a few weeks, I got used to it and didn’t think anything more about it.

Last night, Ashley needed a ride home. I called my father and he said that he would give her a ride home – and he did. But after he let Ashley out of the car, he told me that she was a “hippie” and probably a non-conformist troublemaker and that I couldn’t have her for a friend anymore, and if I did, he would pull me out of the bowling league.

It so happens that Ashley is really a “goody-good.” She gets good grades and has done fewer “questionable” things than some of my other friends. She also teaches Sunday School for pre-school children, and her father and mother are both medical professionals.

Do you think my dad is overreacting? – Nameless, Ann Arbor, Mich.

Dear Nameless: Unfortunately, appearance is noticed first when we meet someone for the first time, and in many cases, it’s a lasting impression. Yes, I think your dad is overreacting.

Is it possible to invite mom to the next bowling session? Maybe if she gets the chance to know Ashley a little better, she will be able to convince dad that she is a fine young lady and a model citizen.

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace up having drinking problems? I’m 17 and it would be important for me to be a social drinker when I’m of age, but I sure as heck don’t want to have a drinking problem. It already has caused my parents to divorce. – Nameless, Dyer, Ind. Dear Nameless: Be careful. According to a Harvard University study on addiction, 100 million Americans consume alcohol, and an estimated 20 million of them have what could be considered to be drinking problems, which, for your information, is an extremely high percentage.

Since alcohol abuse caused your parents to end their marriage, why would you want to become a social drinker?

Wouldn’t it be more prudent to avoid drinking alcohol at any time?

Dr. Wallace: Whenever I’m embarrassed or find myself in an awkward situation, I blush.

What is a blush? What happens to make my cheeks turn red? – Ruby, Lake Charles, La. Dear Ruby: Blushing is a reaction of the nervous system which regulates the opening and closing of blood vessels of the skin. Extra blood rushes to the surface of the skin when a person becomes nervous, and we call this blushing. Everyone blushes, but some blush more than others.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Don’t try so hard. It isn’t necessary to go to extreme lengths to gain the approval of your colleagues. Your kindness, generosity and compassion will create a favorable impression.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Recreation and entertainment are the order of the day. Romance, travel, or interesting pastimes will generate excitement. Put mundane activities on hold for the time being.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – There are many places where your talents can be put to good use. Make others aware of your capabilities by confidently presenting what you have to offer.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Even if you are happy with life, new and rewarding experiences are worth checking out. Take advantage of opportunities that promise to broaden your horizons and indulge your curiosity.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Take steps to cultivate beneficial partnerships, deal with unsatisfying financial matters and initiate new strategies for moving forward. You need a concrete agenda and decisive action to get what you want.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Use a confident and direct approach in all your affairs today.

Be assertive when asking for what you want.

Sitting back quietly and hoping for results will accomplish nothing.

If you are not satisfied, now is the time to make a positive change. Consider the needs of others as well as your own.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Put your worries on the back burner. Disagreements, work and problems with meddlers will lead to bitterness. Get outside to remind yourself of the beauty of nature.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – You have good ideas and should plan to move forward.The encouragement you receive will help you reach your destination. Strive for success and share your victory with loved ones.
