Minooka High School board member resigns

By FELIX SARVER ]jXim\i7j_Xnd\[`X%Zfd MINOOKA â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A District 111 Minooka Community High School board member resigned after hearing she could face criminal charges because of a conflict of interest.

Board member Michelle Mullen, who has been serving on the board since May, submitted Monday a resignation letter effective March 20 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the date of the next scheduled school board meeting, where the board could vote on accepting the letter.

The Illinois Attorney Generalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office issued an opinion last week that Mullen could not serve on the board while also being a teacher with the Grundy County Special Education Cooperative.

The cooperative, which serves students with disabilities, has several area school district officials on its executive board, including Jim Colyott, superintendent for Minooka Community High School.

The cooperative was created by

several school districts, including Minooka.

Mullen said she did not think serving on the board posed a conflict of interest, but when the Grundy County Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Attorneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office suggested she could face criminal charges, she felt she had no choice but to resign. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m very disheartened about the decision,â&#x20AC;? she said about leaving the board. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I really enjoyed my time there. I was trying to make a difference with the students.â&#x20AC;?

Perry Rudman, Grundy County assistant stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attorney, said his office indicated there could be several ways to remove a person who is unlawfully serving in an elected position, including charging that person with a felony if they knowingly served in that position unlawfully.

He said before Mullen ran for the school board seat last spring, it came to his officeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attention she was employed by the Grundy County Special Education Cooperative. His office met with Mullen and her

lawyers about the potential conflict of interest. But after she was elected to the board, they sought the legal opinion of the Illinois Attorney Generalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The problem that the schools face is that the action of a board member who is not lawfully serving cast doubt on the business of the board,â&#x20AC;? he said.

The attorney generalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office issued an â&#x20AC;&#x153;unbinding, unofficialâ&#x20AC;? ruling letter to Grundy County Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Attorneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office, which was received March 4. The attorney generalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office did find a conflict of interest.

After receiving the letter, Rudman said his office contacted Mullenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lawyers for a decision on whether she would continue serving on the board.

Mullen said she turned in her petition to run for the board with the Illinois Association of School Boards and an economic interest statement with the Grundy County Clerk. She was not told then, near the end of 2012, that there was a conflict of interest.

Shorewood will see an increase in water bills

By VIKAAS SHANKER mj_Xeb\i7j_Xnd\[`X%Zfd SHOREWOOD â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Residents will have to foot an increase of $1 per 1,000 gallons on their water bills, but otherwise tax rates will remain the same under the 2014-15 Shorewood budget approved by the village board Tuesday.

The board, which has been working on the financial plan for 2015 for the past three months, approved a $11.3 million working budget for next fiscal year, which is a 2.25 percent increase from this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s planned budget. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t changed much from the previous year,â&#x20AC;? Finance Director Anne Burkholder said.

The village previously increased water rates. The rate per 1,000 gallons will change on April 1 to $4 for village res-

idents and commercial properties, and $4.47 for homes outside of Shorewood.

While the biggest hit to the villageâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s revenue came from the departure of Dominickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sales tax, the village is optimistic about Marianoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Fresh Market replacing it in June and continued economic growth.

Mayor Rick Chapman was pleased with the work done by village staff to present the budget in a convenient way for board members. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This was a relatively easier process,â&#x20AC;? Chapman said, adding that his focus for the budget was on getting quality equipment for village employees to work more efficiently. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What I wanted was to keep pay raises within a reasonable number to reflect whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in the economy today. I want to make sure our people in the public works

and departments have the best equipment.â&#x20AC;?

The budget includes money set aside for the major equipment replacement fund including planned purchases of a plow truck, four police vehicles, a speed trailer, five copiers and a vehicle transceiver unit used to read water meters.

The board also granted a conditional use permit for the construction of a day care center in the Crossroads Business Park lot, located at 211 Capista Drive.

The daycare center would include a 7,000-square-foot facility operated by the owners of Bright Start Childcare & Learning Center Inc. based in Naperville.

The board also voted to change the title of police commander to deputy chief of police to simplify the chain of command for residents.

Young men form auxiliary to aid Catigny VFW Post 367

By BILL WIMBISCUS Yn`dY`jZlj7j_Xnd\[`X%Zfd JOLIET – Cantigny Veterans of Foreign War Post 367 found itself besieged last year.

Age and attrition had taken a toll among its predominantly World War IIera membership, and the Women’s Auxiliary – long the backbone of the veterans service organization – was struggling to help keep open the 93-year-old post at 826 Horseshoe Drive.

Just when all seemed lost, a relieving army of young men came to the rescue.

But instead of uniforms, they wore aprons.

And instead of rifles, they carried spatulas.

They’re the newly formed Post 367 Men’s Auxiliary and they help man the trenches at the weekly fish frys, the post’s primary revenue source.

“I don’t think we’d be here today without their help and input,” Post Commander Tony Arellano said. “They’ve helped tremendously.”

The group, which currently has 29 members, was founded by Jerry Meehan and Jim McFarland. Most members are in their 40s, a few are in their 20s. Working alongside the women’s auxiliary, the men help out with everything from cooking to cleaning up.

“We’re here to do the heavy lifting,” Meehan said.

“Basically, we pitch in wherever we can.”

While not veterans themselves, the men’s auxiliary members all have veterans in their immediate families, typically fathers and grandfathers.

For Meehan, whose wife’s son – his stepson – was killed while serving in Afghanistan, it’s all about honor.

“The mission is for those of us who didn’t serve to honor the service and sacrifice of those of our loved ones who did,” Meehan said.

The group helps fill the service gap left by older veterans limited by physical

Post 367 once boasted 3,000 veterans and was one of the largest VFWs in the state, Arellano said. Membership currently is about 700, mostly veterans from World War II, followed by Vietnam and Korea, Arellano said.

Attracting new members has proved difficult because younger veterans returning home from Iraq and Afghanistan are focused on their families and career.

“People in their 40s and 50s are the best prospects because they have reached their career goals and have more time,” Arellano said.

“Our only alternative was to bring in members of the public who had relatives in the military.”

The idea of men’s auxiliaries started about eight years

The group maintains a membership statewide of about 65,000, but attrition is always a challenge, she said.

“Anytime you can grow an organization, whether through veterans or auxiliaries, I think it’s a plus,” Wilson said.

McFarland, who also is a member of the Sons of the American Legion at Post 1080, said he was approached by Cantigny to form the group about a year-and-a-half ago.

“They indicated they were having trouble making ends meet,” McFarland said.

“They have a massive building and folks dying off. They asked us to help start a men’s auxiliary.”

Like Meehan, McFarland spends most of his Friday nights in the kitchen, helping prepare Cantigny’s menu of cod, walleye, shrimp and chicken.

“Every dinner we sell, it goes right back to help a vet,” McFarland said.

The fish frys will continue from 4 to 7 p.m. each Friday until June 1. The post is considering the idea of hosting cookouts over the summer.

The fish frys, along with karaoke and video gaming, are attracting new customers, Meehan noted. A weekly queen of hearts progressive raffle also generates a lot of interest.

“We see a lot of new people coming every week,” Meehan said. “Everything from families with young kids to older people. After the dinners are over, the karaoke at the bar attracts a lot of the younger crowd.”

Beyond the dinners, the two auxiliaries have sponsored other events just for veterans.

Meehan’s wife, Denise, last year organized a wellness fair and a career expo for veterans. Hundreds turned out for each event.

The main focus for both auxiliaries is to help veterans and keep the post going.

“The fish frys are what keeps the doors open,” Meehan said. “There was a real question last year if they could continue. We don’t have the buffer yet that we would like to, but we’re working on it.”

Giarrante: Joliet finances stable Mayor delivers State of the City address

By BILL WIMBISCUS bwimbiscus@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Mayor Tom Giarrante sums up the state of the city in one word: Stable.

Facing a projected $17 million deficit in 2011, the city now has a balanced budget and is in better financial shape than many other Illinois cities of comparable size, Giarrante said Tuesday during the annual State of the City address.

“We’re not out of the woods yet ... but today Joliet is operating under a balanced budget and a reserve fund,” the mayor told members of the Joliet Region Chamber of Commerce.

“And we did it without reducing city services for our residents.”

Thanks to increases in sales tax revenue, real estate transactions and fees, building permits and hotel/motel taxes in 2013, the city now has a 60-day reserve fund of $33.6 million, Giarrante said.

“It’s a lot of money, but one major disaster such as a tornado or act of God could easily wipe it out,” Giarrante said.

Gaming tax revenue, on the other hand, continues to

Mayor Tom Giarrante (from left), Carole Cheney, 11th District Director, and U.S. Congressman Bill Foster attended Tuesday’s Joliet State of the City meeting. decline as the city’s two casinos face increased competition from the Rivers Casino in Des Plaines and video gaming, Giarrante said.

Debt under control

On the expense side, the city’s $5 million general obligation debt is less than 2 percent of its budget, and well below the 5 percent ceiling recommended by the Illinois Governmental Finance Officers Association.

By comparison, Rockford faces debt of $70 million, Aurora $137 million and Bolingbrook nearly $210 million, Giarrante noted.

Still, in the coming years Joliet will face pressure from its police and fire pension obligations, which are projected to jump from $25 million in 2013 to more than $33 million by 2024 to more than $51 million by 2045, Giarrante said.

New development

Giarrante touted development along Route 59, Jefferson Street, the East Side, Rock Run Business Park and the Chicago Street corridor.

Highlights included a hotel and convention center at Interstate 80 and Houbolt Road expected to open in 2015, the new Joliet Junior College City Cen-

One challenge to attracting new business to Joliet is a lack of available buildings, the mayor said. Louis Joliet Mall is at 98 percent occupancy and there is no more commercial room near it along Route 30.

Retailers “want to come to Joliet, but most don’t want to build new,” Giarrante said.

“Joliet does not have the problem that many other cities have ... a large number of empty big box stores for them to slide int to.”

He urged local developers to begin developing new business and commercial sites.

Giarrante said a major retailer will be looking at undeveloped sites in the coming weeks. One is at Theodore Street and Route 59, and the other is at The Boulevard property at the northwest corner of Interstate 55 and Route 30.

Groundbreaking also is expected soon at the former Joliet Dodge dealership at Jefferson Street and Caterpillar Drive for an ALDI grocery story, plus Chipotle and Panera Bread restaurants, Giarrante said.

Courthouse funding proposal faces challenge in Springfield

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A proposed court fee that would help fund a new Will County Courthouse faces hurdles in Springfield.

That’s according to Brent Hassert, lobbyist for Will County Board, who briefed board members with a legislative update during Tuesday’s Legislative & Policy Committee meeting.

Proposed state legislation would give county boards with a population between

500,000 and 700,000 – essentially Will and Kane counties – the authority to impose filing court fees not exceeding $30 to help pay for new judicial facilities.

The proposed fee, which would apply to various types of civil and criminal cases, could raise between $1.5 million and $2 million a year to put toward the project, depending on the fee structure.

But Hassert said Tuesday lawmakers generally are more reluctant to vote for such legislation – ones with

fees attached to it – during an election and budget year.

“Typically, when you’re down in Springfield this time of year, if you’re fortunate enough to get it out of committee, and get in on the floor, I mean, it’s a heavy lift for a legislator and us to try to make sure everybody feels comfortable enough to get 60 votes [in the Senate],” he said.

Still, he said, it’s not impossible.

State Sen. Larry Walsh Jr., the bill’s sponsor, echoed Hassert’s statements this

week, saying there’s no telling when, or if, the bill will be up for a vote.

At the same time, Chief Judge Richard Schoenstedt said Tuesday he hopes the bill can pass this session so money could be raised right away.

“If it’s something that we can pass this session ... the county board could certainly do what they need to do and start something within the next few months and start collecting these fees. It could be done very quickly,” he said.

“Even though we’re much

farther away from that in the process of the courthouse, we could start collecting money.”

According to the proposal, the user fees would be imposed on both parties in civil cases, and would apply on defendants who plead guilty in criminal cases. It would not apply in traffic, conservation and ordinance cases when fines are paid without a court appearance.

The county does not have a timetable yet for building a courthouse, nor has it made a final commitment to do it.

Health care, economy top issues in 11th race

By ERIC SCHELKOPF eschelkopf@shawmedia.com The Affordable Care Act and the economy are among the issues in the race for the 11th Congressional District.

Naperville businessman Bert Miller, conservative talk show host Ian Bayne of Aurora, Grundy County Board member Chris Balkema and state Rep. Darlene Senger, R-Naperville, are running for the Republican nomination in the March 18 primary. Lisle resident Craig Robbins recently dropped out of the race.

The 11th District includes all or parts of Bolingbrook, Joliet, New Lenox, Shorewood and portions of Grundy County, as well as Aurora, Naperville and Woodridge. U.S. Rep. Bill Foster, D-Naperville, has held the seat since November 2012 after defeating former

U.S. Rep. Judy Biggert.

Miller said he wants to see the economy growing faster than it is.

“The economy is moving forward, but at a snail’s pace,” Miller said. “I believe the economy will fix itself. If we can get people in Congress to work together to address the Social Security problem, to jointly fix Obamacare and to work on our deficit problems, the economy will take care of itself.”

Miller recently stepped down after three decades managing Phoenix Closures, a manufacturer of plastic bottle caps and lids headquartered in Naperville.

“I understand what it takes to make a budget and stick with it,” Miller said. “I think I am a person who can bring people together in Washington. We’re not going to solve our problems by ignoring one

“That is unproductive to the average family in America that is trying to make ends meet,” he said.

Balkema has been a man-

His priorities include cutting the tax rate to stimulate the economy and repealing the Affordable Care Act and replacing it with free market health care principles, such as allowing insurance to be sold across state lines.

Bayne criticized his competitors for being “too similar to Bill Foster to beat Bill Foster.”

“I think right now what the American people need is a person who will go to war for the future of the country,” he said. “The thing that I do is that I fight for people.”

His priorities include repealing the Affordable Care Act, restoring government spending to 1990 levels and reducing federal control of schools.

CREST HILL

Wellhouse lit on fire; little damage Officer spots it, makes arrest

By BRIAN STANLEY YjkXec\p7j_Xnd\[`X%Zfd CREST HILL â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Police say a Monee man set a city wellhouse on fire early Tuesday.

Chief Dwayne Wilkerson said an officer was on patrol at 12:30 a.m. when he saw a suspicious vehicle parked next to the brick structure at Parkrose and Webb streets. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The officer was able to see a light coming out of the side of the building and then saw it catch on fire while a man got in the vehicle and drove away,â&#x20AC;? Wilkerson said.

The officer pulled over

the car and found Patrick B. Joyce, 20, had â&#x20AC;&#x153;another bottle with a rag stuck in the topâ&#x20AC;? beside him, Wilkerson said. The fire was extinguished quickly and caused minimal damage, Wilkerson said.

Wilkerson said Joyce admitted to investigators setting the fire, but did not offer an explanation why.

Joyce, of the 3600 block of West Crete-Monee Road, was arrested and booked into the Will County jail on a charge of arson. According to jail records, Joyce was arrested by Monee police in June 2012 on a charge of drug possession.

Car hits door, backs into pond

By BRIAN STANLEY YjkXec\p7j_Xnd\[`X%Zfd HOMER TOWNSHIP â&#x20AC;&#x201C; An elderly driver backed into a retention pond after striking a car wash door Tuesday afternoon.

Will County Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spokeswoman Kathy Hoffmeyer said the driver had been pulling around a curve to enter a car wash at the Speedway Gas Station near 151st Street and Bell Road when his vehicle struck a pole

and a closed garage door on the car wash. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The man then put his car into reverse and backed the vehicle over a retaining wall and onto the pond that was covered with snow and ice,â&#x20AC;?

Hoffmeyer said.

Homer firefighters assisted the man from the vehicle and took him to Silver Cross Hospital. Hoffmeyer said the man was alert and speaking at the scene and was listed in good condition.

No tickets were issued.

Foot and ankle injuries happen to all of us from time to time. Although it is sometimes hard to tell how serious an injury is at first, here is an easy guide to use until you can reach a doctor.

R.I.C.E. stands for rest, ice, compression and elevation. First, the body must be allowed to recuperate, and that calls for rest. Second, forget the heating pad, at least at first. Ice applied immediately after an injury and for several days following constricts blood vessels, reducing swelling and pain. Third, compression with a bandage also reduces swelling, as well as immobilizing the area. Finally, elevating the foot above the heart prevents blood from pooling around the injury. R.I.C.E. is first aid only, not a replacement.

Q: My wife has hearing aids but still has trouble hearing in some situations. What more can we do?

How would you treat an ankle sprain?

- ASK THE EXPERTS! -

Karen Pastell, Au.D. Doctor of Audiology

A: While hearing aids are generally the first step toward better hearing, there are many things you can do to facilitate communication called communication strategies. For example, get the person’s attention before you speak and face them so they can see you as they will instinctively do some lip reading. Remember to speak clearly, not just loudly, and slow down. Rephrase if they don’t understand rather than just repeating the same word over and over.

You can manipulate your environment like asking to be seated in quiet corner of a restaurant vs. right by the kitchen. There is more to better hearing than just buying a hearing aid. Audiologists can provide ways to optimize hearing aid use and further enhance communication.

Dr. Karen Pastell is a licensed audiologist in Joliet with over 20 years experience.

LOCKPORT

Firefighters douse two blazes Tuesday morning Elderly woman suffers smoke-inhalation

By BRIAN STANLEY YjkXec\p7j_Xnd\[`X%Zfd LOCKPORT – Firefighters battled two fires within hours of each other Tuesday morning.

Both fires involved heavy smoke. An elderly woman was hospitalized for smoke inhalation at a house fire.

Lockport Township Fire Chief Dave Skoryi said companies were called at 1:09 a.m. to the Chevron property in the 300 block of West Second Street and arrived to find heavy smoke coming from a maintenance building.

“After crews made entry it was determined a piece of construction equipment used to service machinery was on fire,” Skoryi said.

Several firefighters had to have their gear decontaminated when hydraulic oil spilled from the construction equipment, Skoryi said.

“Due to lack of water in the area, tenders responded from four surrounding communities,” Skoryi noted.

The cause of the fire is under investigation.

While Lockport Township firefighters still were at Chevron, stations were covered by

firefighters from Homer Glen, Northwest Homer, East Joliet, Manhattan and Romeoville.

At 2:38 a.m., those mutual aid companies were sent to the 1200 block of Grandview Avenue, Skoryi said.

“The call came in as an elderly resident was trying to escape a smoke-filled home. She was found by police officers on the front porch after getting out of the residence,” Skoryi said.

That woman was treated at Silver Cross Hospital for smoke inhalation. The fire was contained to the kitchen area and appears to be electrical, Skoryi said.

By BILL WIMBISCUS bwimbiscus@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Joliet may be losing one downtown restaurant but gaining another.

The Department Restaurant and Liquor Lounge will close its doors Saturday, according to Pam Owens, executive director of Joliet City Center Partnership.

Owens said the property management company that owns the building at 205 N. Chicago St. was approached by another business willing to lease the building at a higher rent.

She was unsure of the business that would go into the building.

Meanwhile Lockdown Bar & Grill, a heavy metal-themed restaurant patterned after its parent restaurant in Chicago’s Ukrainian Village, is scheduled to open later this year in the building at Chicago and Cass streets that housed the failed Crabigale’s comedy club.

“I don’t know what I’m looking forward to the most, the huge burgers or the heavy metal music,” Mayor Tom Giarrante joked at Tuesday’s

IfY N`ee\i Æ in`ee\i7j_Xnd\[`X%Zfd

The Department in downtown Joliet will be closing at the end of the week.

State of the City address. “Either way, it’ll be a great addition to downtown Joliet’s entertainment lineup.”

Lockdown is owned by P.J. Zonis, who graduated from the University of St. Francis in Joliet with a degree in busi-

ness management.

Owens said Lockdown is expected to open in July.

Surprised by closing

The Department’s closing took many people by surprise.

“While they were strug-

gling, they were feeling pretty happy about the way things were going,” Owens said.

“And they were actually planning on expanding.”

Regulars have been flocking in for a last hurrah, bartender Karen Medlin said.

“It’s very upsetting,” Medlin said. “We’re like one big family here.”

Owens said the decision to close The Department was difficult for business owner Greg Roth.

“It’s a tough thing for him to walk away,” Owens said.

“He’s been involved with the business since the beginning.

The decision wasn’t made by him, but for him.”

Roth declined to comment.

The two-story facility featured a bar, dining room and private banquet room that showcased massive brick walls, white tablecloths, hardwood floors and chandeliers.

Food specialties included rosemary-rubbed pork loin with garlic and basil mashed potatoes, beef tenderloin in mushroom and black peppercorn sauce with fresh sauteed lemon spinach, shrimp tacos, jumbo seared sea scallops served over polenta and a Cajun rib eye.

The Department was opened in 2009 by Derek and Hallie Brenczewski of Joliet, who later moved to Antigua to run the Majestic Isle Casino.

Joliet police find gun, surround house, make arrest

By BRIAN STANLEY YjkXec\p7j_Xnd\[`X%Zfd JOLIET – Police say they caught three people in a car with a stolen handgun Monday night.

Cmdr. Al Roechner said police were called at 11:10 p.m. about a suspicious vehicle parked at the dead end of the 500 block of Albert Avenue.

“When officers arrived, three people ran out of the car and inside a nearby house. A 9-millimeter pistol could be seen in plain view on the floor behind the driver’s seat,” Roechner said.

As police set up a perimeter, Damon L. Cook, 22, who had been sitting alone in the backseat, ran out of the house, but went back inside when he saw police had surrounded it,

Roechner said.

Roechner said police called the house phone and had Cook, Shanta P. Williams and a 21-year-old Lansing man come outside. No one else was in the residence.

Village board still must OK project

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com NEW LENOX – Village officials in New Lenox are considering granting a special use permit for a site development that will bring LA Fitness to town.

On Monday, village board members considered an ordinance that would grant a special use permit for preliminary and final planned unit development for an area located near U.S. Route 30 and Vancina Lane. The developer for the area is Oak Brookbased InSite Real Estate LLC. The overall development would include three lots for potential businesses coming to New Lenox but the only tenant for the site village officials know of is LA Fitness, said Robin Ellis, assistant village administrator and community development director. LA Fitness would take up 35,000 square feet of the area.

Village officials are excited about the potential for commercial growth, New Lenox Mayor Tim Baldermann said. He said board members were able to see at Monday’s meeting the building plans for LA Fitness.

“We’re excited about it,” he said. “It’s a prime location … we’re hoping especially a place like LA Fitness will bring a lot of people [in the area].”

The special use permit had its first reading at the village board Monday and board members are sched-

No other businesses have been secured for the area, he said, but they would most likely be restaurants or retail shops.

The property near Route 30 and Vancina Lane is located at an intersection across from Target and Lowe’s, according to InSite’s website. The location serves the “high-growth communities” of New Lenox, Mokena and Frankfort. New Lenox ranks ninth in new home starts and has one of the lowest foreclosures rates in the Chicago area, according to the InSite website.

Baldermann said hopefully the people who visit the businesses in the new development will do more shopping elsewhere in the village and get to know the area better. The village keeps performing well with new housing starts and commercial development, he said.

“Things continue to go well for us in a pretty tough economy,” he said.

Grundy assembling hoarding task force MORRIS – Shows about hoarding have become some of the most popular on television, but for as many as 1,000 Grundy County residents, the compulsive condition is a dangerous reality.

With that in mind, Melissa Wasko, the “60-plus” therapist for the Grundy County Health Department, is assembling a Grundy County Hoarding Task Force, bringing together municipalities, first responders and mental health professionals to better understand and address the hoarding issue locally.

Currently, there are few local resources for hoarders or those – such as family members, neighbors and first responders – who interact with them.

“More and more people were bringing cases to our attention,” Wasko said. “So, I thought, we really need to do something about this.”

Earlier this year, the health department’s division of Mental Health and Substance Abuse received a grant from the Community Foundation of Grundy County to tackle the issue. It was then that the idea for a hoarding task force was hatched.

Wasko said she is gathering the stakeholders to identify the issue, inventory what services are available, find new resources and develop solutions for the problem.

She hopes to have the task force assembled by the end of the year.

“Right now, if first responders are at a home and it’s hoarding related, they aren’t any resources in Grundy County for them,” said Julie Buck, executive director of the Community Foundation and member of the Behavioral Health Alliance.

Wasko said there are no concrete hoarding statistics for Grundy County, but based on national estimates, there could be 500 to 1,000 hoarders living within the county.

Part of the task force’s

mission will be to gather more definite statistics about hoarding in Grundy County so it will have a better schema of the problem.

Tracey Steffes, chief of the Morris Fire Protection and Ambulance District, said his department handles hoarding cases “sporadically,” but added he has seen an increase in the number of hoarding cases over the last few years, sometimes handling as many as three or four in a week.

“I think it’s new in that it’s becoming more public than it used to be,” Steffes said. “Hoarding is a very personal thing, but now it has come to light – obviously with some of these TV shows – and I think people are more open about it.”

One goal of the task force will be to educate people on where to draw the line between hoarding and “a lot of clutter,” Wasko said.

Hoarded homes pose health risks for the hoarder and nearby neighbors, she said, because the clutter can attract rodents and bugs. In some cases, Wasko said bathrooms and kitchens cannot be accessed, which leads to further sanitary and health issues.

Steffes said hoarding also makes it difficult for a person to properly evacuate a home in the time of an emergency.

“There’s also a distress level for the person,” Wasko said. “Whether that means they feel shame, guilt, embarrassment or isolation about the way they’re living.”

Wasko attended last week’s Morris City Council meeting to ask for support and involvement from city leaders. She said she will be making the rounds at every municipal meeting in the county to recruit help.

A major question she wants answered is who has the legal authority, if any, to intervene in a hoarding situation and how far can they go.

“We just want to have more concrete and specific guidelines for all of those involved,” Wasko said.

A2 OBITUARIES JAMES WILLIAM PATTERSON

Born: April 6, 1922; in Wilmington Died: March 10, 2014; in Dwight

James William Patterson, age 91, a lifelong resident of Braidwood, IL, passed away Monday, March 10, 2014, at Heritage Health in Dwight, IL. He was born April 6, 1922 in Wilmington, IL. He was the second of three children born to the late James Robert and Esther Matilda (nee Nelson) Patterson. He was educated in Braidwood and was a graduate of the Braidwood High School Class of 1940. Upon graduation, he followed in the path of his father and became a Funeral Director and Embalmer.

He graduated from Worsham School of Mortuary Science in 1941 becoming the fourth generation of the Patterson family to enter into funeral service. He worked at the Patterson Funeral Home in Braidwood with his father until he enlisted in the service.

He was a WWII Veteran of the United States Army, stationed in New Guinea from December 1942 to January 1946. He attained the rank of Sergeant and served in Graves Registration Service. Upon Jimmy's honorable discharge from the service, he returned to Braidwood to work in the family funeral business.

He married Martha Mae Armstrong January 28, 1950 in his parents' home in Braidwood, which was also the funeral home at the time. Together they served Will and Grundy Counties in the family funeral business until their retirement in April of 1984. In 1958 Jimmy and Martha built a second location of the Patterson Funeral Home in South Wilmington, IL. In 1963 they built a new structure to house the Patterson Funeral Home, Braidwood facility, on the spot previously occupied by the East School. For many years they also operated Patterson Ambulance Service with the help of several local friends until the Braidwood Fire Department started an ambulance service in 1974.

Court: Unplayed Blagojevich tapes to stay sealed

By MICHAEL TARM The Associated Press CHICAGO â&#x20AC;&#x201C; An appellate court in Chicago ruled Tuesday that transcripts of FBI wiretaps not played at Rod Blagojevichâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s corruption trials would be part of the appellate record but would remain sealed, at least for now.

The decisions by the U.S. 7th Circuit Court of Appeals came as it continued to mull its decision on the imprisoned former Illinois governorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 100-

page appeal, which was filed last July and asks the threejudge appellate panel to toss his multiple convictions.

The 57-year-old Chicago Democrat is in a Colorado prison serving a 14-year sentence, including for seeking to exchange an appointment to President Barack Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s old Senate seat for campaign cash or a job.

The wiretaps in question are among those U.S. District Judge James Zagel barred the defense from playing to jurors.

The appeal argues Blagojevich engaged in legal political horse-trading regarding the seat and that FBI recordings supported that contention.

The same order also confirmed the court would include the tapes not played as a part of the appellate record judges can go through. They were submitted late by defense attorneys after realizing they werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t in an initial batch of documents, raising questions about whether the panel would put them in the record.

While it agreed to the governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s request to keep the records sealed, the brief appellate order does say that if the court eventually concurs the trial judge erred by not admitting them, they will then be unsealed.

One of Blagojevichâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lawyers, Sheldon Sorosky, said the defense asked for the transcripts to be unsealed on principle. But he said the decision not to do open them shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t affect the courtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deliberations on the appeal itself.

Primary for shot at Durbin poses dilemma for the GOP

By SARA BURNETT The Associated Press CHICAGO â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Illinois Republicans face a dilemma in picking a challenger to the second most powerful Democrat in the U.S. Senate.

Does a West Point graduate and business owner with little name recognition give them their best shot at beating three-term Sen. Dick Durbin?

Or is it a dairy magnate and state senator who has run twice for the office unsuccessfully, and has had past gaffes about immigrants and abortion?

At stake is not only the Senate race, in which Republicans believe they can at least give Durbin a scare despite his hefty blue-state fundraising advantage. They also worry about which Senate candidateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name will top their ticket, just above a crucial governorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s race that Republicans believe they can win after more than a decade of Democratic control.

State Sen. Jim Oberweis of Sugar Grove, whose family owns a chain of ice cream shops across Illinois, says he has the best chance to unseat Durbin because the race requires someone whose name is recognizable to voters. The 67-year-old says he has learned from previous campaigns, when his remarks about â&#x20AC;&#x153;illegal aliensâ&#x20AC;? and other issues got him into trouble.

ED CLASSIFIED 12 brothers and sisters; and one grandson.

Ruby is survived by her devoted husband, James Winston; one son, Frederick Winston; two daughters, Loretta Gaddy and LethaDavis, two brothers, James â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mahoneyâ&#x20AC;? (Rose) Harris and Peter (Maria) Harris, all of Joliet; 4 grandchildren, 3 great grandchildren, nieces, nephews, cousins and a host of friends also survive.

Funeral services will be Thursday, March 13, 2014 at 11:00 A.M. at Mt. Zion Baptist Church, 402 Singleton Place, Joliet, IL 60436, with visitation from 9:00 A.M.-11:00 A.M. Reverend David Latimore, officiating. Entombment at Woodlawn Cemetery, 23060 West Jefferson Street, Joliet, IL 60431

Appellate courts typically unseal documents shortly after they are submitted along with an appeal. But prosecutors later asked that the transcripts not entered into evidence stay under seal, citing the privacy of some subjects on the wiretaps and other concerns.

Blagojevichâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attorneys wanted them promptly opened, arguing transparency was â&#x20AC;&#x153;an important safeguardâ&#x20AC;? against violations of a defendantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rights.

Illinois state Sen. Jim Oberweis, who is running for the GOP nomination for the U.S. Senate in Illinois, is being challenged in the March 18 GOP primary by Doug Truax, a business owner from Downers Grove. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ten years ago I was politically inexperienced and I made some mistakes,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think my primary opponent is a nice young man, but this is a serious race and it needs a serious, experienced candidate.â&#x20AC;?

His opponent in the March 18 primary, Doug Truax of Downers Grove, argues heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the kind of new face the GOP has been looking for as it works to attract younger and more independent voters. The 43-year-old has the support of former U.S. House Speaker Newt Gingrich and U.S. Rep. Aaron Schock, a Peoria Republican who held a fundraiser for him last month. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The reality is the Democrats in some form are going to wrap this gaffe-prone cari-

cature of (Oberweis) around all of the Illinois Republican candidates, and Republicans nationally. It concerns a lot of people,â&#x20AC;? Truax said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not the greatest face for the Republican party.â&#x20AC;?

Illinois GOP officials see the primary as an opportunity in their battle to remain relevant in a state in which Democrats hold almost all statewide offices and majorities of the Legislature and congressional delegation. Of all the races on the November ballot, they see the governorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office as their best shot at victory.

Trying to defeat Durbin, or any sitting senator, is a formidable task. After 32 years in Washington, he has no primary opposition and a big war chest.

By RICARDO ALONSO–ZALDIVAR The Associated Press

By DONNA CASSATA The Associated Press WASHINGTON – In an extraordinary public accusation, the head of the Senate Intelligence Committee declared on Tuesday that the CIA interfered with and then tried to intimidate a congressional investigation into the agency’s possible use of torture in terror probes during the Bush administration.

The CIA clandestinely removed documents and searched a computer network set up for lawmakers, said Sen. Dianne Feinstein in a speech on the Senate floor. In an escalating dispute with an agency she has long supported, she said the CIA may well have violated criminal laws and the U.S. Constitution.

At odds on major contentions, both sides have involved the Justice Department. The CIA’s inspector general, David Buckley, has referred the matter to Justice, and the CIA’s acting counsel responded by filing a criminal report about the intelligence committee staff.

“I am not taking it lightly,” Feinstein said of the tit-for-tat investigations. “I view the acting counsel general’s referral

as a potential effort to intimidate this staff” in the interrogation investigation.

The dispute between the CIA and senators, which has been going on privately for more than five years, exploded into a public clash as Feinstein offered a detailed account of the Senate’s secretive dealings with the CIA in an investigation of post-Sept. 11 interrogation and detention practices.

More broadly, all U.S. spy agencies have drawn intense scrutiny since revelations last summer about surveillance of Americans by the National Security Agency. The Obama administration has struggled to rebuild public trust since former analyst Edward Snowden made the disclosures. Feinstein has been one of the intelligence community’s most ardent advocates, arguing that the wide surveillance of people’s electronic and telephone communications was a necessary counterterrorism tool.

In the current matter, CIA Director John Brennan rejected Feinstein’s accusations, insisting that the agency was not trying to thwart the committee’s work and denying that it had been spying on the panel or the Senate.

WASHINGTON – The Obama administration said Tuesday it’s making steady progress on health care signups, but the White House needs something close to a miracle to meet its goal of enrolling 6 million people by the end of this month.

It could happen with a sustained surge in consumer demand and a foolproof website. But they’re not seeing it yet, and time is running out.

The Department of Health and Human Services said more than 940,000 people signed up during February for private coverage under President Barack Obama’s health care law, bringing total sign-ups to 4.2 million.

With open enrollment ending March 31, that means to meet the goal, another 1.8

million people would have to sign up during the month, an average of about 60,000 a day.

That’s way above the daily averages for January and February, which have ranged between 33,000 and 34,000. The math seems to be going against the administration.

If the target isn’t met, the immediate fallout will be political. Republicans will say it proves their point that Obama’s signature project never had the public’s support. Backers of the law will have to work harder to smooth out some of its problems and convince Americans to take a second look.

Administration officials expect the pace to pick up as procrastinators are forced to act. There are no plans to extend the March 31 deadline, they emphasize. The big question is whether that will

be enough to make up for the technical troubles that paralyzed HealthCare.gov much of last fall and the continuing challenges for several state-sponsored websites.

“Given what we know about past enrollment patterns for health care, we expect that even more [people] will sign up as we approach the March 31 deadline,” said HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius.

Julie Bataille, communications director for the health care rollout, said she expects millions more to sign up – but she wouldn’t commit to a number by March 31.

The goal of 6 million sign-ups is itself a lower bar than was originally set. The Congressional Budget Office scaled back its original target of 7 million because of the federal website’s computer problems.

Malaysian air force: Jet may have turned back

By EILEEN NG The Associated Press KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia – The missing Malaysian jetliner may have attempted to turn back before it vanished from radar, but there is no evidence it reached the Strait of Malacca, the country’s air force chief said Wednesday, denying reported remarks he said otherwise.

The statement suggested continued confusion over where the Boeing 777 might have ended up, more than four days after it disappeared en route to Beijing from Kuala Lumpur with 239 people on board.

Air force chief Gen. Rodzali Daud was quoted as saying in a local media report Tuesday that the military had radar data showing the plane had turned back from its original course, crossed the country and made it to the Strait of Malacca to the west of Malaysia.

The Associated Press contacted a high-level military official,

who confirmed the remarks.

In a statement, Daud denied saying the remarks, and referred to a statement he made March 9 in which he said the air force has “not ruled out the possibility of an air turn back” and said search and rescue efforts had been expanded in this regard.

Authorities began their search for the missing aircraft at the position it was last reported to be over the sea between Malaysia and Vietnam.

But they have also said search operations were ongoing in the Malacca strait.

With no debris found yet, authorities have not ruled out any possible cause, including mechanical failure, pilot error, sabotage or terrorism.

Civil aviation chief Azharuddin Abdul Rahman said the search remained “on both sides” of Malaysia.

Attention will now likely focus on the condition of the Boeing 777’s electronic systems as it charted its new course back toward and then

across Malaysia.

A radar antenna on the ground sends electromagnetic waves that reflect from the surface of an aircraft and almost instantly return, allowing controllers to calculate how far away a plane is. The antenna is mounted on a rotating platform, sending and receiving signals 360 degrees across the sky, enabling the plane’s direction to be tracked by constant sweeps.

The system has limitations: Military and civilian air traffic controllers know something is moving through the air but might not know what it is.

So planes were outfitted with transponders that can send a unique signal back to the radar station, which can differentiate them from other aircraft.

From this signal, controllers can tell the flight number, heading, speed and altitude.

Radar stations at airports are designed to track planes up to about 60 miles. They are used to help sequence and space landing aircraft. An-

other series of stations called air route surveillance radar can track planes 200-250 miles away, depending on weather and the age of the technology.

Station locations are selected to allow for a slight overlap so planes in heavy-traffic areas are never out of reach of radar.

While radar black spots can exist, experts said the plane’s transponders normally would have been emitting signals that would have been picked up by civilian radar. The fact that it apparently wasn’t detected suggests they were either disabled or switched off.

Planes with no transponders can still be tracked by radar.

Low-flying planes can sometimes avoid radar detection.

There is no set height they must be under, but the farther away they are from a radar station, the higher they can be because of the angle of the radar antenna and the curvature of the Earth.

Malaysian police chief Khalid Abu Bakar, who has been ordered to look at possible

criminal aspects in the disappearance of Flight MH370, said hijacking, sabotage and issues related to the pilots’ psychological health were all being considered.

An Australian TV station reported that the first officer on the missing plane, Fariq Abdul Hamid, had invited two women into the cockpit during a flight two years ago. One of the women, Jonti Roos, described the encounter on Australia’s “A Current Affair.”

Roos said she and a friend were allowed to stay in the cockpit during the entire onehour flight on Dec. 14, 2011, from Phuket, Thailand, to Kuala Lumpur. She said the arrangement did not seem unusual to the plane’s crew.

“Throughout the entire flight, they were talking to us and they were actually smoking throughout the flight,” said Roos, who didn’t immediately reply to a message sent to her via Facebook. The second pilot on the 2011 flight was not identified.

Legislative fitness?

Budget needs it, too Incremental changes can have a big impact as their effects accumulate over time.

For example, people who alter their lifestyles by eating responsibly and exercising more will reap multiple benefits. They will live healthier lives and feel better about themselves.

State Rep. Don Moffitt, a Republican from Gilson, knows that well.

Two years ago, Moffitt got bad news from his doctor. The chubby lawmaker was told that he might have to start taking diabetes medication if he didn’t adopt a healthier lifestyle.

Moffitt took stock of his situation. As a veteran lawmaker, he had sat for long periods of time during hearings and House sessions, gone to numerous social events and dinners in Springfield, attended dinners in his district, and logged a lot of windshield time.

No wonder he had piled on the pounds.

Moffitt made the decision to eat healthier and start exercising, and the pounds began to drop off.

Two years later, he has shed 100 pounds and feels great – so great that he decided to encourage fellow legislators to experience the health benefits that he enjoys.

Moffitt launched a “fitness caucus” that is intended to help lawmakers, lobbyists and other Capitol folks embark on weight-loss journeys and also share what works for them and what doesn’t.

A benefit, we hope, is that the philosophy of “fitness caucus” members will spread to the taxing and spending habits of the Illinois General Assembly.

In January 2011, state government started gobbling up more revenue when the Legislature temporarily raised income tax rates on individuals and businesses. State leaders said the extra money would help improve the chubby state government’s dire financial health. From what we can tell, that hasn’t happened.

Ten months from now, those temporary hikes will ease, and Illinois’ finances might face a crash diet. Both the House and Senate have already gone on record as predicting a $1.3 billion reduction in revenue for 2014-15.

Let lawmakers learn a lesson from determined dieters like Moffitt. By imposing incremental reductions in spending now, state government should become leaner and healthier over time.

If Moffitt doesn’t mind, we’d like to nominate the 2014-15 state budget to join his “fitness caucus.”

Migration in Illinois a cause for concern SPRINGFIELD – One of my favorite books is John Steinbeck’s “The Grapes of Wrath.”

In that epic tome, farmers from across Oklahoma load up all of their earthy goods on to Model Ts and flee the Dust Bowl for California in the midst of the Great Depression.

It’s easy to see that great exodus along Route 66 as the face of migration from one state to another.

And to be sure that is one face of relocation.

Poor folks still load up dilapidated cars with what they own and seek out opportunity.

I saw it all the time when I was reporter in Las Vegas, families showing up with not much but their dreams and hopes of landing a well-paying job.

But that isn’t the only face of migration.

When corporate executives or

REEDER REPORT Scott Reeder well-heeled retirees move, it is done with professional movers.

And you can often discern who the wealthiest of these households are by the amount of furniture and other belongings they have shipped.

The Wall Street Journal recently looked at data from Allied Van Lines concerning where wealthy households were moving to and from.

The report found that Illinois and Pennsylvania have more wealthy households leaving than arriving. And California leads the nation for the net number of wealthy households migrating away.

And states gaining the most?

Florida and Texas.

So what do East Coast, Midwest and West Coast states like Pennsylvania, Illinois and California have in common?

All three are high-tax states, said Joseph Henchman, a vice president at the Tax Foundation.

On the other hand, Florida and Texas are much lower tax states.

“Illinois is particularly vulnerable to more out-migration because its neighbors – Wisconsin and Indiana – are busy lowering their taxes,” Henchman added.

On the other hand, the Illinois Legislature jacked up our income taxes by 67 percent back in 2011.

This has hurt folks from all economic groups.

And for folks who make their living making business decisions, it has created one more incentive to leave Illinois.

Illinois is pursuing policies to drive away possible job creators D@>I8K@FE

:fek`el\[ ]ifd gX^\ )( While it’s easy to shrug off the rich guy across town leaving, there is good reason for all of us to be concerned.

Have you ever worked for a business person poorer than yourself? Me neither.

Even those working in the public sector need to remember where taxes come from to pay for their jobs.

And yet, Illinois is consistently pursuing policies that are pushing these job creators to more hospitable business climates.

And where those jobs go, poor and middle-class Illinoisans are sure to follow, as well.

This migration translates

into real money, according to Travis Brown, author of the book “How Money Walks,” a project that measures where people are moving based on tax returns.

“Illinois as a state lost $29.27 billion over the 18 years from 1992 – 2010,” Brown said.

During that period, only California and New York lost more income than Illinois, his study found.

“That’s a loss of $185,000 per hour. We forecast that between 2010 and 2014 Illinois lost somewhere between $5.4 and $7 billion in adjusted gross income due to migration,” Brown said.

Illinois is in that minority of states that continue to levy an estate tax.

And increasingly estate planners are advising

retired, successful Illinoisans to consider moving to a state without an estate tax so assets can be passed more easily from one generation to the next.

That hurts all of us.

When successful retirees leave, they are no longer spending money in the Land of Lincoln, paying taxes here or donating to Illinois charities.

And that equates to fewer jobs for the rest of us.

And ultimately that is why all of us should be concerned.

MEN’S VOLLEYBALL: LEWIS 3, OHIO STATE 0

Lewis grabs convincing win after 10 days off

By CURT HERRON Z_\iife7j_Xnd\[`X%Zfd ROMEOVILLE – Things started off well for Lewis University’s men’s volleyball team Tuesday when it returned to action after 10 days off.

The No. 11 Flyers won, 2521, in the first game over No. 15 Ohio State and were up in the second game when setter BJ Boldog had to exit with a finger injury.

Sophomore Scott Fifer stepped in for the Flyers standout and the Sandburg graduate was up to the challenge, continuing to hand out assists to a variety of teammates.

Lewis also won that game, 25-21, and closed out with a 2520 in the third game to defeat the Buckeyes in a Midwestern Intercollegiate Volleyball Association match at Neil Carey Arena.

Boldog finished with 19 assists while Fifer handed out 17.

Geoff Powell paced all players with 14 kills while the Flyers (13-4, 5-2) also received a dozen kills from Greg Petty, nine more from Eric Fitterer and seven kills from Bobby Walsh.

“We were off the past 10 days, so I knew that the first game would take us a little to get into, but once we did, we got into a really nice groove and did a nice job,” Lewis coach Dan Friend said.

“It was unfortunate that BJ got hurt but Scotty was fantastic. He came in and really rose to the occasion and the guys rallied around him. We stayed right at that high level and didn’t drop a beat from where we were at. It was really to fun to watch.”

In the opener, the Buckeyes jumped out to an 8-4 lead, but Lewis used a long serve, a kill by Walsh and a block from Petty and Walsh to grab a 1512 lead.

Ohio State (8-9, 4-5) closed to within a point on three different occasions but the Flyers closed things out by getting kills from Petty and Powell, who had six kills in that game.

Lewis grabbed an early 10-5 advantage in the second game following a kill by Fitterer, a

Midway through that game, Boldog had to exit because of his injury, which thrust Fifer into trying to fill some awfully big shoes, but he overcame nerves to do just that.

“We practice hard every

said. “We had good passes and good serving and that made it easy on me.

“I was nervous at first

but once we got a few points in and I made some sets and guys were getting kills and we had good passes, that made it much easier. I knew that I just had to put it up there and the guys would do the rest.

“We hadn’t played in 10 days so it was great to get a big conference win over Ohio State.”

The Flyers led by as many as six points on half a dozen occasions later on in the game before Fitterer eventually closed things out with a kill.

In the finale, the Flyers grabbed the early advantage and led throughout. Lewis led by as many as five, after kills

by Fitterer and Powell, but the Buckeyes closed to within a point in two different occasions.

However, Lewis received kills from Walsh and Powell and an ace from Fitterer to take a 24-19 lead and then wrapped up the victory with a kill from Walsh.

“It was tough seeing BJ go out with a split finger but Scott did a great job coming in and setting,” Powell said.

“He also had a couple crucial digs that we ended up turning into points and that was awesome.

“But we weren’t too worried since Scott’s in the gym working hard every day, so we knew that we’d fine with him as a setter.

“The second game was a little slow and we missed some points that we should have had, but we worked through those errors and came out successful. With the new setter in the third game, we knew that we had to get our serve-receive up and we did that.”

Also for the Flyers – who host George Mason on Friday – Fitterer had three aces while Petty added a pair. Lucas Yanez led everyone with nine digs.

The Buckeyes received 10 kills from Miles Johnson, nine from Michael Henchy and eight kills from Driss Guessous.

Christy Blough handed out 33 assists for OSU.

AREA ROUNDUP

STAFF REPORTS

By DICK GOSS

Lewis University sophomore Alex Thode and junior Ryan Frederick of Lockport finished tied for fourth Tuesday with a two-round score of 147 to help the men’s golf team to a fifthplace finish with a total of 607 (305-302) at the Christian Brothers Spring Invitational in Memphis, Tenn.

Centenary won the 11team event with a total score of 584 (289-295) at the par-70, 6,675-yard Quail Ridge Golf Club, while the Gents’ Jamie Gibson took home the individual title with a total of 145 (70-75).

Thode combined a 72 on the first day with a 75 on Tuesday, while Frederick shot a first-round 76 and dropped five strokes for a second day 71.

Sophomore Robert Dofflemyer III turned in a 158 (81-77), while senior Dan Petrarca of Lincoln-Way East shot 160 (81-79).

Junior Jeremy Fraser rounded out the Flyers with a two-day total of 161 (76-85).

dgoss@shawmedia.com JOLIET – One Joliet-area boys basketball team remains standing as the sectional semifinals arrive.

Raise your hand if you said that team would be Joliet Catholic.

When the Hilltoppers (11-20) knocked off Plano last Friday in the championship game of the Class 3A Plano Regional, it marked their first regional title since the 1988 team reached the supersectional. That was about 10 years before most members of coach Joe Gura’s diaper dandies were born.

Next up for JCA is Wednesday’s 7 p.m. matchup in the Rich East Sectional against Pontiac (9-18), the surprise winner of the Prairie Central Regional. Morgan Park met Rich East on Tuesday night in the other semifinal. The championship game is Friday.

For the Hilltoppers to move on, they must continue the formula that worked so well in the regional. That includes playing solid defense, rebounding, getting all five players involved offensively and avoiding unforced errors.

“We’re starting to come together,” said Gura, whose coaching stops included a stint at Pontiac. “Our practices have been outstanding.”

JCA took its lumps the last month of the regular season thanks largely to the East Suburban Catholic gauntlet.

The Hilltoppers faced Marian Catholic, Benet, Notre Dame, St. Viator and St. Patrick, among others, in that span.

Needless to say, the winloss record suffered. However, the lessons are priceless.

“Going into those games, we could have cashed it in,” Gura said. “I was concerned.

But we obviously got something good out of it. Every minute was a valuable lesson, a piece of the overall puzzle.

“The real dividends of playing in our conference might come through now in these pressure situations.”

COLLEGE BASEBALL

JJC splits: JJC’s bats came alive in a 12-4 win over Volunteer State in the first game of a doubleheader Tuesday, as Ron Sessler of Lockport went 3 for 4 with a double and six RBIs. Five other Wolves collected two hits apiece.

Minooka’s Josh Jiminez (1-1) picked up the win, striking out eight in six innings. In the nightcap, JJC (2-6) dropped a 6-5 decision in eight innings, letting a three-run lead slip away in the seventh before falling in the extra frame.

Alex Bebar of Minooka went 2 for 5 with a double and an RBI, while Tyler Thorson was 2 for 4. The Wolves travel to Columbia State today for a 1 p.m. doubleheader.

COLLEGE SOFTBALL JJC falls twice: The Joliet

Junior College softball team suffered a pair of losses Sunday, falling 21-1 and 9-1 to Jefferson College. Emma Traina had a triple among two hits in the opener and doubled among two hits in the nightcap for the Wolves (0-4).

Joliet Catholic’s Jalen Jackson goes up for a shot during the first half last week’s 70-51 win over No. 1 seed Lincoln-Way West in the Class 3A Plano Regional.

The Hilltoppers start guards Jalen Jackson, Harold David and Colton Kolowski along with big men Drake Fellows and Luke Mander. All are sophomores except Kolowski, a junior transfer from Yorkville playing his first season at JCA. The 6-foot-6 Fellows, whose fastball approaches 90 mph, had 13 rebounds in the regional semifinal win over No. 1 seed Lincoln-Way West and 16 points and 19 rebounds against Plano.

“Plano’s best player is their center, too,” Gura said. “Drake has been dominant on the boards. When Luke Mander started playing more, we got bigger. Colton has helped the rebounding, too, but Drake has been the difference.

“We have five starters now. Colton’s playing better, getting accustomed to playing with these guys. Before it was Jalen and Harry [Davis]. Jalen always could score and Harry is steady. He got it, what we are doing. He’s the same every game.”

“It feels awesome,” Fellows said of the sectional berth. “It’s all coming together as a unit, not one guy. It’s hard to guard us when we get five guys involved.”

It’s a matter of trust.

“We trust each other now,” Gura said. “Whatever the play is, we do it.”

“The hard practices we’ve been having, that’s why we’re here,” Fellows said. “We know the game plan and how to stick with it.”

System keeps Lewis men home again Flyers miss out on D-II Midwest Regional berth VIEWS Dick Goss Most NCAA Division I men’s college basketball conferences will conduct their tournaments this weekend.

You know what that means – Sunday is Selection Sunday, the day the brackets are revealed for the annual threeweek extravaganza.

By about 6 p.m., TV, radio and social media will be filled with chatter about which teams were snubbed and which got in that some analyst feel should not have.

It does not matter how many teams are in the field, there always are bubble teams that get left out.

Of course, snubs are not limited to Division I. Lewis, for example, plays in NCAA Division II and has not qualified for the 64-team national tournament either of the last two seasons despite a combined 40-15 record.

This year, the Flyers went 21-6. One loss was to Maryville, which finished 13-14. The other five were to teams that finished 96-18.

“We’ve beaten teams that have 23, 22, 20 wins, some good teams,” coach Scott Trost said. “Being left out is disappointing. You can’t tell me we’re not one of the best 64 teams in the country.”

As Trost explained, however, the Division II tournament is not a true national tournament. Instead, the nation is divided into eight regions and eight teams qualify for each regional.

Lewis is in the loaded Midwest Region and is a member of the Great Lakes Valley Conference, which is as strong as any D-II league in the country.

The Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference and the Great Midwest Athletic Conference are the other leagues in the region.

Lewis’ Jeff Jarosz (5) passes to Brad Foster (42) earlier this season when the Flyers beat Southern Indiana, 73-63. Southern Indiana won the GLVC Tournament and qualified for the NCAA Division II Midwest Regional. Lewis is staying home.

ÈN\Ëm\ Y\Xk\e k\Xdj k_Xk _Xm\ )*# ))# )' n`ej# jfd\ ^ff[ k\Xdj% 9\`e^ c\]k flk `j [`jXggf`ek`e^% Pfl ZXeËk k\cc d\ n\Ëi\ efk fe\ f] k_\ Y\jk -+ k\Xdj `e k_\ Zflekip%É Scott Trost C\n`j d\eËj YXjb\kYXcc ZfXZ_ The Flyers entered the postseason ranked No. 8 in the Midwest. Bellarmine was 10th but is tournament bound.

“Teams below us in the conference standings are going,” Trost said, noting the Flyers were 13-5 in the league and Bellarmine 12-6. “But Bellarmine played its way in, and that knocked us out.

“Southern Indiana won our tournament. After they beat us by 18 in the quarterfinals, they beat [defending national champion] Drury by about 18 and Bellarmine by 13 or 14. What it comes down

to is we had to beat Southern Indiana.”

The irony is that two years ago, Lewis finished 17-12 overall, 8-10 in the GLVC and was went to the regional. “Go figure,” Trost said.

Emphasizing the strength of the GLVC, it had five teams ranked in the top 25 in the nation, and at the same time, Bellarmine got as high as 26th.

“The GLVC had two national champions the last three years,” Trost said.

“Over the last 15 to 20 years, there is not a conference in the country that has done

what this one has.

“To almost have six teams in the top 25 in the country at the same time, I don’t think that has ever happened. We were ranked in the top 25 almost two months straight.

We were ranked by all three regional rankings. We may have been even more deserving last year, but this year’s body of work also seemed good enough.”

The eight regional winners in Division II go to the Final Eight. In Division I, four regional winners go to the Final Four. Could D-II adopt the D-I system sometime in the future?

“It won’t happen,” Trost said. “D-I has the eye test, where everyone can see everyone play on television.

Nobody sees everyone in the country in D-II.” Trost said Lewis did not play its best basketball at the end of the season, when point guard Jeff Jarosz suffered a

concussion. The stretch run hurt the Flyers’ tournament chances.

“Jeff came back but was not his true self,” Trost said.

“We weren’t as good as we were before he was injured.”

Lewis went 4-0 against GLIAC foes in early season nonconference games. You can’t do better than that.

“But some GLIAC teams we played – Ferris State, Wayne State, Northern Michigan – had down years, finished below .500, and that might have hurt us, too,” Trost said.

What’s done is done. The Flyers have put away the uniforms. However, they have reason to be optimistic about next season, when they will be primed to make another run at qualifying for the regional.

“We will have everyone back except [senior guard] Nick Valla,” Trost said. “We have to find one impact guy.”

SPURS 104, BULLS 96

Spurs dominate Bulls

By BRIAN SANDALOW K_\ 8jjfZ`Xk\[ Gi\jj CHICAGO â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Manu Ginobili scored 22 points and Tony Parker had 20 on Tuesday night as the league-leading San Antonio Spurs beat the Bulls, 104-96.

San Antonio jumped out to a big lead early, taking a 61-33 advantage into halftime, including 18 from Parker.

That helped them improve to 24-6 on the road, the NBAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best mark away from home.

The Bulls trailed, 90-66, entering the fourth, but pulled to within eight late against San Antonioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reserves.

Tuesday continued the Spursâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; surge since losing to the Bulls, 96-86, on Jan. 29.

The Bulls, meanwhile, were coming off a dramatic 95-88 win Sunday over the Heat, but couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t build off that victory, falling to 1-2 on a season-high six-game homestand.

D.J. Augustin led the Bulls with 24 points and Jimmy Butler had 23. Joakim Noah, whose name has started to be mentioned in MVP discussions, had 13 points and eight rebounds.

The Bulls held Miami to 40.5 percent shooting and overcame a 42.2 percent shooting game of their own.

That didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happen Tuesday for the Bulls, who were 43

Ex-Raider DE Houston signs on

By KEVIN FISHBAIN b]`j_YX`e7j_Xnd\[`X%Zfd Michael Bennett resigned with the Seahawks and Michael Johnson joined Lovie Smith and the Buccaneers, but the Bears were not going to be left out of the race to sign a defensive end.

At the start of free agency, the Bears signed former Raider Lamarr Houston to a five-year contract worth a reported $35 million with up to $15 million guaranteed.

With the addition of a younger option at the position, the Bears felt comfortable using Tuesday to part ways with Julius Peppers.

Houston, who turns 27 in June, played in all 64 games for the Raiders from 2010-13.

He has 228 career tackles and 16 sacks, including a ca-

reer-high six last season. He also had two forced fumbles in 2013.

Although he is not known for his pass-rush prowess, Houston notched 54 â&#x20AC;&#x153;stopsâ&#x20AC;? in 2013, according to Pro Football Focus, which is a tackle that constitutes an offensive failure. That led all 4-3 defensive ends.

Bennett and Johnson have more sacks on their rĂŠsumĂŠs, and they signed bigger contracts. Houston is sure to be the Bearsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; big splash of the 2014 offseason, and they got some extra cash to do so by cutting Peppers.

The Bears cleared $9.8 million in cap space for 2014 with the move, although they eat more than $8.3 million in dead money for Peppersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; signing bonus.

REST HILL â&#x20AC;&#x201C; For Italians, food â&#x20AC;&#x153;is our culture, a way of life,â&#x20AC;? said Sam Governale, past president and spaghetti dinner coordinator for American Italian Cultural Society, So, in the early 1990s, when the society wanted to raise money to buy a building, members decided to host a series of monthly spaghetti dinners â&#x20AC;&#x153;because these ladies could make spaghetti much better than anyone else,â&#x20AC;? Governale said.

Those spaghetti dinners proved so successful â&#x20AC;&#x201C; rapidly climbing from 200 to 1,500 dinners served every second Thursday of the month â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that even after the society owned the building, it continued hosting spaghetti dinners. The next one is Thursday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Last month we made enough for 1,400,â&#x20AC;? Governale said, assuming a snow day would bring reduced sales, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and we ran out.â&#x20AC;?

However, devising that original recipe was tricky.

These women, Governale said, cooked the old-fashioned way, by taste and measuring ingredients with their hands, not with cups and spoons. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had to stop these ladies and put their hands in some sort of measuring device to get an idea,â&#x20AC;? Governale said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Of course, everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hands are different, but I finally came up with something that was measurable.â&#x20AC;?

And that recipe, Governale said, has not changed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s probably 21 secret recipes in there,â&#x20AC;? he added.

They prepare all components of the meal â&#x20AC;&#x153;fresh out of the potâ&#x20AC;? as people wait; pasta

He does offer a meatless sauce, but most customers want meat. Taste-testing still is part of the cooking process. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There can be difference in tomato sauces,â&#x20AC;? Governale said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some seasons may be dry and some seasons may be wet. We may need to add more ingredients to make it the way I like it.â&#x20AC;?

However, the societyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spaghetti dinners are not its only food-related events. Another is the annual St. Joseph Table, always in March. This fundraiser, based on a similar Sicilian event, Governale said, offers a variety of traditional, no-meat, dishes. The meatless slant is not because of Lenten abstinence. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The reason for no meat is because the people [in Sicily] couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford it,â&#x20AC;? Governale

Menu items may include smelt, sardines, frittatas, fava beans, roasted potatoes, baked onions, stewed zucchini, roasted potatoes, green beans almondine, eggplant Parmesan,

variety of breads and pastries and polenta, Governale said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My mother refused to eat corn or polenta,â&#x20AC;? Governale said, smiling at the memory. â&#x20AC;&#x153;[She felt] corn was meant to feed animals, not people.â&#x20AC;?

After a monetary donation, patrons receive a multicourse feast valued at $50, Governale said. Proceeds then are donated to pre-selected, financially needy people.

Governale recalled how one St. Joseph Table event helped six local families. Sometimes, recipients prefer to remain anonymous and Governaleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only contact with them is to slip the money under the door.

One family, Governale learned as he stepped into the house, had sold nearly all of their furniture â&#x20AC;&#x201C; except for a telephone table displaying a non-working telephone â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and had a few canned goods in the cupboard. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were able to give them $100 a month in food for six months,â&#x20AC;? Governale said.

Does south need a finesse to work?

CELEBRITY CIPHER

David Cone, who pitched a perfect game for the Yankees in 1999, said, “I’m a finesse pitcher without the finesse.”

That gives a good hint for today’s deal. South is in six spades.

West leads the diamond ace: three, queen, two. West continues with a low diamond, which South ruffs. How should declarer continue? As a secondary issue, what was West’s more successful defense?

North’s sequence, a twoover-one response followed by a jump in spades, showed exactly three-card spade support and game-forcing values. South then used Roman Key Card Blackwood to learn that his partner had two key cards (two aces, or one ace and the spade king) and the spade queen.

After ruffing the second diamond, declarer initially thought he would have to rely on the club finesse. But then, because North’s trumps were so strong, he realized that if spades were 3-2 (mathematically more likely than the club finesse working), he could get home with a dummy reversal.

South played a heart to dummy’s 10, ruffed another diamond, returned to dummy with a trump, ruffed the last diamond, drew trumps and claimed. Declarer took three spades on the board, five hearts, one club and three ruffs in his hand.

West could have defeated the contract if he had shifted to a spade or heart at trick two, which would have killed the timing for the dummy reversal and forced South to take the club finesse.

Afterward, North commented, “I never guessed that my heart 10 would be such a vital card.”

Dear Abby: I work in a palliative care unit in a local hospital, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m all too aware of how important it is to have oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s end-of-life wishes documented, notarized and on-hand in case of an emergency.

I remember reading an essay that appeared in your column years ago; it eloquently described the desire of the writer that his body be used to allow others to live through organ donation. Is it part of your â&#x20AC;&#x153;Keepersâ&#x20AC;? booklet? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Jynna In North Carolina Dear Jynna: Yes, it is included.

And Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m printing it for you today because it contains an important message. The author, Robert Test, was not only altruistic, but also the ultimate â&#x20AC;&#x153;recycler.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;To Remember Meâ&#x20AC;? by Robert Test: â&#x20AC;&#x153;At a certain moment a doctor will determine that my brain has ceased to function and that, for all intents and purposes, my life has stopped. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When that happens, do not attempt to instill artificial life into my body by the use of a machine.

And donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t call this my â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;deathbed.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips Call it my â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;bed of life,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; and let my body be taken from it to help others lead fuller lives. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Give my sight to a man who has never seen a sunrise, a babyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s face or love in the eyes of a woman. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Give my heart to a person whose own heart has caused nothing but endless days of pain. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Give my blood to the teenager who has been pulled from the wreckage of his car, so that he might live to see his grandchildren play. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Give my kidneys to one who depends on a machine to exist from week to week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Take my bones, every muscle, every fiber and nerve in my body and find a way to make a crippled child walk. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Explore every corner of my brain. Take my cells, if necessary, and let them grow so that someday

a speechless boy will shout at the crack of a bat and a deaf girl will hear the sound of rain against her windows. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Burn what is left of me and scatter the ashes to the winds to help the flowers grow. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you must bury something, let it be my faults, my weaknesses and all my prejudice against my fellow man. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Give my soul to God.

Angioplasty using stents is truly a medical miracle Dear Doctor K: Two friends recently had stents put in. What exactly is a stent? How does it work?

Dear Reader: A stent is a small metal cylinder that opens up a blockage in the arteries. It looks like a miniature chain-link fence rolled into a tube. Stents have helped revolutionize the treatment of the most common form of heart disease, coronary artery disease.

To understand how, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have to take a few steps back.

Coronary artery disease is atherosclerosis of the arteries that supply blood to the heart. Atherosclerosis causes cholesterol-filled plaques â&#x20AC;&#x201C; growths in the wall of the artery that block the flow of blood through the artery. Those plaques can cause symptoms like angina (chest pain caused by coronary artery disease). They also can suddenly rupture, causing a clot to form that completely blocks blood flow and causes a heart attack.

Stents are used during a procedure called angioplasty. Angioplasty allows doctors to open narrowed or blocked coronary arteries that could lead to a heart attack.

During angioplasty, a cardiologist uses a needle to guide a plastic

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff tube called a catheter into an artery (usually in the groin). Using X-rays as a guide, and a guide wire, the cardiologist pushes the tip of the catheter through the arteries that lead to the heart.

Once the catheter tip reaches the heart, it is guided into the coronary arteries. Dye squirted through the catheter shows the location and severity of any blockages. Near the tip of the catheter is an inflatable balloon. Once the catheter reaches the narrowed section of blood vessel, the cardiologist inflates the balloon. This pushes the plaque back against the wall of the artery and widens the channel through the artery, allowing more blood to flow through it.

The stent surrounds the catheter, on top of the uninflated balloon. When the balloon is inflated, the stent also expands.

After the procedure is done, the doctor withdraws the catheter and the deflated balloon from the body.

But the expanded stent remains in place, keeping that artery open and blood flowing through it. (Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve

put an illustration of stent placement on my website, AskDoctorK. com.)

The stent serves as a scaffold to hold the artery open. Most stents are coated with drugs that prevent cells from growing over and around the stent. Such growth occurred with older stents, and that caused a new blockage to occur where the old one had been.

But drug-coated stents can create some problems of their own. The drugs they exude can make it easier for clots to form on the stent. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why anyone with a drug-coated stent must also take blood-thinning drugs.

Researchers are continually trying to improve the design of stents. Stents also are used to open blocked arteries in other parts of the body, such as the kidney. Even 50 years ago, who would have imagined that you could open up a blocked artery deep inside the body without performing surgery?

Today this procedure has become a welcome reality for millions of people.

Concentration can help improve grades Dear Teens: Concentration often is the key to success, yet many find the ability to focus a difficult task. However, you can learn the techniques of concentration if you put your mind to it.

Olympic gold medal winners, performers and scholars have all mastered the art of concentration, says author Jordan E. Cohn.

What is their secret?

Before winning a gold medal, a former Olympic performer was nervous and tense. Instead of pacing the floor and watching her competitors, she turned inward and tuned everything out. She then imagined herself doing the routine flawlessly. The result: She scored a perfect 10.

Peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lives, however, are filled with so many diversions that focusing on anything in particular may seem impossible. While you may feel bombarded with distractions, it is possible to learn to concentrate. The first step is getting in the right frame of mind. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you learn techniques of concentration, what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re really doing is learning how to establish a better environment for yourself emotionally,â&#x20AC;? says sports psychologist Dr. James E. Loehr. In other words, you must be in the mood to concentrate.

Concentration can be affected by a number of factors â&#x20AC;&#x201C; time of day, noise, your mood and even your personality.

Although there are exceptions, studies show that most of us concentrate best from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Be aware that eating and sleeping habits can influence your mood, and in turn, your concentration skills.

Filling up on sweets or overdosing on caffeine can make you irritable

â&#x20AC;&#x2122;TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace and easily distracted; without enough sleep, you may find it hard to gather your thoughts.

You probably have been told to turn the radio off while studying, but will that necessarily improve your grades?

Unfortunately, studies on noise concentration have been inconclusive on this matter. But Dr. Joel S. Warm, professor of psychology at the University of Cincinnati, believes that â&#x20AC;&#x153;You learn to concentrate in the environment youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in most of the time.â&#x20AC;?

Therefore, someone accustomed to studying to music may find it difficult to concentrate in silence,â&#x20AC;? Warm adds.

Research also shows that introverts concentrate better than extroverts. Shy, retiring types donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need stimulation from others to get their brains going, which makes it easier for them to sit alone and work.

To maintain your concentration level over long periods, take five-minute breaks each half-hour. If you are working on several different assignments, focus on one at a time.

Developing concentration skills can dramatically improve your grades. Increased concentration may enhance your social life, too; people are attracted to good listeners who focus on what others are saying.

But whether your goal is to get straight Aâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, win a competition or make friends, concentration can help you achieve success. s Email Dr. Robert Wallace at rwallace@ galesburg.net.

‘Need for Speed’ is high-powered cliché machine

By ED SYMKUS K_\ NXj_`e^kfe Gfjk Here’s the quick, easy way to tell the difference between the good guy, the bad guy and the innocent guy in this supposed throwback to the fast car movies of the 1970s. The innocent guy is smiling, the good guy is glowering and the bad guy is sneering. You don’t have to think about this very much because before you know it, the film launches into one of its races (it’s the second one; the first one is so uninteresting, it will get no further mention).

All three contestants are driving color-coordinated Koenigseggs that are low and sleek and fast and fancy.

Don’t worry about not being able to pronounce the car’s name; you can’t afford one, anyway.

And don’t worry that I’m going to give away a big plot point: The bad guy cheats; the innocent guy dies; the good guy is framed for it and goes to jail. Two years later, the real story begins. It’s about revenge, or maybe it’s about dealing with old enemies, or finding out if you really can drive from New York to California in 45 hours in order to take part in a secret car race, the location of which the drivers don’t even know until they’re invited by the secretive fellow known only as Monarch.

Right, let’s mention the names of

the players. The good guy is Tobey (Aaron Paul, from “Breaking Bad”), an ace mechanic and hot-shot driver who’s just taken over his dead dad’s garage in Mt. Kisco, N.Y. (where, it seems, the old Steve McQueen movie “Bullit” is on the Mt. Kisco Drive-in screen every night). Tobey only drives in small-town races, at night, through alleys and side streets and light traffic, with the assistance of a pal up above in a Cessna who’s watching for cops.

The bad guy is Dino (Dominic Cooper), Tobey’s old high school rival, who has made a pile of dough, and comes back to town after many years, with Tobey’s ex-girlfriend on his arm, and a pricey, one-of-a-kind Mustang (“built by Ford and reimagined by Carroll Shelby”) that he wants Tobey and his crew to fix up. The innocent guy is Pete – one of Tobey’s mechanics – but we don’t really get to know him very well before he gets behind the wheel of that Koenigsegg.

The only other pertinent information is that Tobey is behind on his loan for the business, so, despite despising Dino, he takes the job. His mechanics, in the best/worst of cliché style, say, practically in unison, “We’ll do it for Tobey!”

Cut to the finished car, enter the slinky Brit Jules (Imogen Poots), who’s an agent for someone back home who wants to buy the car, stage that deadly

race, see Tobey getting out of jail, and say hello to Monarch (Michael Keaton), a character who’s entire performance happens in one room, behind a microphone, where he blathers on and on about his upcoming underground, illegal race that he’s dubbed the De Leon. It’s a race that will involve only six invited drivers. I’ll bet you already figured out that Tobey and Dino are going to be two of them.

“Need for Speed” tries to catch the flavor of 1970s car-centric films such as the above-mentioned “Bullit” and “Smokey and the Bandit.” But aside from the fact that the driving and the stunts are real, and not CGI, there’s very little resemblance. The film, and all of its performances, except for an over-the-top one from Keaton, are flat and dull. Even the driving-racing sequences aren’t very exciting. The cliché-ridden script keeps getting bogged down by yet more clichés.

There’s some believable camaraderie between the mechanics, but there’s nothing believable about that cross-country trip. And you’ve got to wonder why the film has the Jules character in it. She’s annoying, adds nothing to the story, and while Poots comes across physically as a sort of cross between Rosanna Arquette and Olivia Newton John, she exhibits something like half of their acting ability.
