Latest winter storm created new problems Schools closed Wednesday without power

By FELIX SARVER

fsarver@shawmedia.com NEW LENOX – The latest winter storm shut down schools again, but not necessarily because of snow.

Power outages forced school closings in the Lincoln-Way area Wednesday after heavy overnight snow and rain created problems with power lines.

New Lenox School District 122 announced on its website that all classes and after-school activities were canceled Wednesday, because of power outages throughout the district. Employees were told not to report to work.

Frankfort School District 157-C was also closed because of intermittent power failure and inclement weather.

About 131,000 ComEd customers lost power throughout Northern Illinois during the winter storm that arrived at about 2 a.m. Wednesday.

About 19,000 customers were still without power Wednesday afternoon, according to ComEd Spokesman John Schoen.

The south region, which includes New Lenox and Frankfort, was the hardest hit, Schoen said.

“We’re just going to continue working as quickly and safely as we can to get everyone up and running,” he said.

On Wednesday, Joliet, New Lenox and Plainfield had up to 6.2 inches, 7 inches and 5.5 inches of snow fall respectively, according to the National Weather Service.

Morris and Coal City had 5 and 5.2 inches of snow fall respectively.

It’s been one of the toughest winters for area school districts in memory, said Frank Perucca, Will County Regional Office of Education assistant regional superintendent. Many school

districts – including those in rural areas such as Peotone and Crete – close because of the amount of students who need to be bused.

“For most districts, either today was their fifth [emergency day] or with some it could be their sixth because of the bad weather,” he said.

The winter storm caused other problems in the area.

The National Weather Service issued a flood advisory for the Kankakee River near Wilmington, where the river already was rising because of previous snow melting.

In Plainfield, a traffic accident at an intersection where a red light was coated with snow left two people in critical condition.

The snow stopped falling by mid-morning, however. And, the local forecast for Thursday is partly sunny with high temperatures in the mid-30s.

Friday will be partly cloudy as well with temperatures in the upper 40s. Saturday is expected to be partly sunny with temperatures in the mid-40s.

School bus in accident – no students on board

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

MINOOKA – Although there were no students on the Minooka Community Consolidated School District 201 school bus that was struck and overturned Wednesday morning, Superintendent Al Gegenheimer wishes he had called off school The accident happened about 7:45 a.m. Wednesday.

Minooka Police Chief Justin Meyer said the preliminary investigation showed a vehicle was turning east onto Minooka Road from International Parkway South and hit a vehicle traveling east on Minooka Road.

The vehicle that was struck spun out and hit the school bus head-on, which

“Thank goodness no students were on the bus.”

Justin Meyer

Minooka Police Chief was traveling west. The bus went into the ditch and tipped on its side.

“Thank goodness no students were on the bus,” Meyer said.

District 201 was open for school Wednesday despite the snow.

“As you can see we were fortunate that no children were on the bus. It makes me think that maybe we should have canceled school [like Morris area schools did],” Gegenheimer said an in email to Shaw Media.

“I was out at 4 a.m. driving those nasty roads [throughout our 72-square-mile district], before the snow plows were out in town,” he wrote. “I was communicating frequently with other area superintendents including Grundy folks, but also all of the surrounding Will County superintendents. I talked with road commissioners and other snow plow drivers. At 5:30 a.m. I made the decision to have a ‘late start’ to allow the snow plows more time to clear the roads.”

All parties involved refused medical transport, the chief said. Meyer said the bus driver later went to the hospital complaining of a wrist injury.

The investigation is ongoing, and no drivers had been cited as of Wednesday afternoon.

With Will County Sheriff Paul Kaupas not seeking re-election the race to fill his position is one of the most highly contested elections in the county.

WILL COUNTY

Three Democrats, two Republicans will be on Tuesday’s ballot

By BRIAN STANLEY

bstanley@shawmedia.com

THE DEMOCRATS Ed Bradley

Bradley, of University Park, served 21 years with the sheriff’s office before retiring as a lieutenant in 2009.

He narrowly lost a three-way primary in the sheriff’s race four years ago and was hired

by University Park in October.

Bradley said his experience in the sheriff’s department included cases ranging from “misdemeanors to quadruple homicides.”

He was a watch commander of the patrol division and at the county jail. Bradley also was a supervisor in investigations and vice president of the police union for six years. He has been an investigator for Balmoral Park race track and an adviser for the Joliet Job Corps.

“My background is not as an elected official putting in streets and curbs. My qualifications are my experience with crime and law enforcement,” Bradley said.

Like the other four candidates, Bradley said managing the department’s budget will be the biggest challenge over

Ed Bradley

Steve Egan

the next four years for whoever is elected.

Bradley would put together a professional “financial team” that would review expenditures and be “held accountable for every penny.”

“You can’t just have a sergeant do this. There can’t be any mismanagement because people are tired of their leaders coming to them for more money,” Bradley said.

“I cringe when we talk about raising taxes, though we may have to. You have to do the work with what you’ve got.

That’s what the public expects.”

Steve Egan

Egan, of Joliet, has been a deputy for 24 years. Before joining the sheriff’s department, he was a Joliet police officer for 15 years, working undercover for four years with the Metropolitan Area Narcotics Squad.

Egan challenged Paul Kaupas in the Republican primary in 2010. He said he ran as a Republican because he respected candidates who were already on the Democratic ballot that time and did not think Kaupas should run unopposed.

“I have 40 years of law enforcement experience. I’ve spent a lot of time working in the jail, which is a large responsibility of the sheriff’s office, and working on the street,” Egan said.

Egan has also worked in internal affairs and is currently a watch commander.

“One of the best ways to deal with the budget is restructuring,” he said. Egan

Nick Ficarello

Ken Kaupas

feels the best way to serve the public is shifting clerical assignments currently given to sworn deputies to civilian employees.

“We can put more cops on the streets without increasing the budget and hiring. We can better utilize personnel so the badges are out on patrol serving the public,” he said.

Egan would also reinstate the DARE program in schools. He feels exposing students to the positive side of police work and the effects of drug abuse is worthwhile in the long run.

Mike Kelley

Kelley, of Lockport, has been a deputy for 26 years. He is a Lockport Township trustee and previously served four years as a Lockport alderman.

Kelley has worked in almost every division in the sheriff’s department, including patrol, courthouse security, the jail and his current assignment – investigations.

“No other candidate has the combination of department experience and public administration that I can bring,” Kelley said.

Kelley said having to explain how funds are used and listening to department heads tell him what’s needed has prepared him for justifying any budget he’d submit to the County Board.

If elected, Kelley would develop gang intelligence and child online protection task forces with the Will County State’s Attorney. He would also build a larger facility to

Mike Kelley

store evidence.

“There’s nothing more frustrating for an investigator that evidence from major crimes is kept in four different locations. That can’t give the sense of security that’s needed,” he said.

THE REPUBLICANS

Those pulling a Republican ticket will see Nick Ficarello, a retired sheriff’s deputy chief, and Ken Kaupas, a sheriff’s deputy chief.

Nick Ficarello

Ficarello, of Manhattan, served 31 years with the sheriff’s police. He was later director of campus security at Lewis University and is currently a part-time patrol officer in Posen.

As a deputy, Ficarello worked in the Gang Suppression Unit and multi agency Cooperative Police Assistance Team. He has been president of the union for supervising officers in the sheriff’s department and later headed the investigations division.

“I worked my way up through the ranks ... giving me the training and leadership skills that make me the best candidate,” Ficarello said.

Ficarello would institute a “zero-based” budgeting system. He would exclude obligations like salaries and jail food, but set other line items at zero.

“I’ll have to sell what I need to the County Board.

That’s labor intensive for me, but it provides transparency and control,” Ficarello said.

Ken Kaupas

Kaupas, of Shorewood, served 26 years with the Illinois State Police and retired as a captain. He is the current sheriff’s second cousin and serves as the deputy chief in charge of public affairs and special operations.

During his career with the state police, Kaupas worked undercover investigating violent crimes and narcotics. He was also a supervisor of drug and auto theft task forces before being promoted to the command staff in Springfield.

“Not being just a department insider with my background, I bring a broad perspective for both law enforcement and management,” Kaupas said.

Kaupas said working as a supervisor with the state agency has taught him how to operate under budget difficulties.

“We’ll have to look closely at manpower. We’ll be losing a lot due to retirements scheduled in the next three years,” Kaupas said. “We’re going to have to make some tough calls whether those positions will be filled or we’ll have to do without.”

Kaupas said while crime rates have dropped, focusing on analytic data would make better use of how deputies are deployed.

“When I’m told something is done [only] because it’s always been done that way, I say that needs to change if it’s not effective. That’s the outside perspective I can bring,” Kaupas said.

WILL COUNTY – There’s going to be a new sheriff in town.

Republican Paul Kaupas is calling it quits after three terms of heading up the Will County Sheriff’s police.

Three Democrats and two Republicans will face off in their respective primary elections Tuesday to determine his successor.

University Park Police Chief Ed Bradley, Sheriff’s Lt. Steve Egan and Sheriff’s Sgt. Mike Kelley will try for the Democrat nomination, while retired Sheriff’s Deputy Chief Nick Ficarello and Sheriff’s Deputy Chief Ken Kaupas are vying for the Republican nomination.

Ficarello would also develop a communication system that links departments so the closest officer responds regardless of jurisdiction.

“When your house is being broken into, does it make a difference whether it’s a Joliet officer or sheriff’s deputy coming if they’re able to get there quicker?” Ficarello asked.

Diane Nilan gives a voice to the homeless USF recognizes her work

“We have yet as a country to address the problems of affordable housing, wage issues, child care and family issues. We haven’t addressed the root causes of the poor and homeless.”

By FELIX SARVER

fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Diane Nilan has always seen a gap between the poor and lawmakers.

She has spent close to a decade trying to close that gap through video documentaries chronicling the struggles of the homeless and poor. Each video, many of them available on YouTube, focuses on an issue affecting impoverished families and children.

“We have yet as a country to address the problems of affordable housing, wage issues, child care and family issues,” she said. “We haven’t addressed the root causes of the poor and homeless.”

Her efforts and the efforts of HEAR US, the nonprofit organization she runs, to give voice and visibility to the homeless has won her the Outstanding Media Award in 2007 from the National Association of Homeless Children and Youth.

Nilan received another award Wednesday from her alma mater, University of St. Francis in Joliet.

Diane Nilan

Recipient of the Sister Clare Award

Rob Winner – rwinner@shawmedia.com

Diane Nilan is seen inside the office of her motor home which was parked Wednesday at University of St. Francis in Joliet. Nilan, an advocate for homeless people, was awarded the Sister Clare Award at University St. Francis Wednesday evening. ed Nilan the Sister Clare Award in recognition of her work with the homeless throughout her life. She is the second recipient of an award created last year to recognize the achievements of women to celebrate Women’s History Month.

“It’s certainly is a great opportunity for me to capitalize

on this issue of making people aware,” she said.

Regina Block, chief development officer for the university, said Nilan has been a true leader and server for people in the Joliet area. The Sister Clare Award honors women like her who were called to serve, she said.

“This would be a way to

honor them, our heritage and women in general,” Block said.

Nilan started what is now known at the Daybreak Shelter in Joliet for Catholic Charities in the late 1980s. After working for several shelters in Illinois and trying to help homeless children in areas outside Chicago, she decided

in 2005 to travel across the U.S. in a motor home to document the lives of the homeless.

“I wanted to create a tool for educators to understand homeless education laws from the perspective of how it matters for kids,” she said about her video work.

Besides working in homeless shelters and documenting the struggles of the homeless, Nilan was also the driving force in the passage of “Charlie’s Bill,” known as the Illinois Education for Homeless Children Act, university officials said. A decade later, the act led to the federal McKinney-Vento legislation that gave improved educational rights to homeless children.

Day care center to open in Shorewood by August

By VIKAAS SHANKER

vshanker@shawmedia.com SHOREWOOD – A day care operator plans to open in August in Shorewood.

Naperville-based Bright Start Childcare & Learning Center Inc. is getting ready to build a 7,673-square-foot day care facility after the Shorewood Village Board approved Tuesday a conditional use permit in a Crossroads Business Park lot near the intersection of Black Road and Route 59.

“We bring many unique features to the community,” said John Ginley, president of Bright Start Childcare.

The facility is part of a larger development on the 1-acre lot that will include another 3,000-square-foot office building, 42 parking spaces with access to both Capista Drive and Gregory Court and two masonry-based monument signs.

The day care center will include an outdoor play area with a canopy and 6-foot high fencing that will follow stan-

dards set by the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services.

Ginley said the day care could hold a maximum of 120 children depending on license requirements. It also will produce 20 to 24 employees, including full- and part-time teachers, food handlers, cooks and administrators.

Programs will include language enrichment for foreign languages, structured curriculum preparing children for statewide common core

requirements and web surveillance from mobile devices so parents can check on their kids.

Ginley said the Shorewood location also will offer a 10 percent discount for educators, police and fire personnel and military members and veterans.

“We chose Shorewood for a variety of reasons,” Ginley said. “The median household income is $13,000 higher than the Naperville zip we are in, and there’s not a lot of competition, with only two or three

licensed commercial centers in Shorewood.”

Because the day care needs to be state reviewed before becoming operational, Community Development Director Karen James said the facility will undergo high-level inspections.

“Because it’s a day care, not only does the [Department of Children and Family Services] have to review and look through the properties, the state fire marshal also has to come and review the plans,” James said.

PLAINFIELD

Collision leaves two in critical condition THE HERALD–NEWS PLAINFIELD – Two people are in critical condition after a traffic accident Wednesday morning, Plainfield police said.

The collision occurred at Route 59 and 119th Street, where one vehicle ran a red light that was “significantly covered in snow,” according to a news release from the police department.

The names of the two people injured in the accident were not released.

Sections of Route 59 and 119th Street were closed for more than two hours because of the accident.

Three vehicles were involved in the accident, which

happened at about 10:40 a.m.

The third driver was not injured. The two others were taken to local hospitals.

According to Plainfield police, a vehicle going south on Route 59 went through the intersection “while the traffic signal for southbound Route 59 traffic, although significantly covered in snow, indicated red.”

That vehicle ran into the side of another vehicle going through the intersection on 119th Street. The vehicle that was hit then careened into a third vehicle that was stopped for the light in the northbound lanes of Route 59.

Police said the accident remains under investigation.

Flood advisory issued for Wilmington area Kankakee River rising

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS

lleonecross@shawmedia.com

WILMINGTON – A flood advisory is in effect for the Kankakee River near Wilmington after the latest rain and snow.

The flood advisory is in effect until Saturday.

The river is expected to rise to 5.3 feet by early Thursday morning, according to the National Weather Service. Flood stage is 6.5 feet.

At 5 feet, minor lowland flooding begins in areas

immediately adjacent to the river, according to the weather service.

Dennis Houseman, Wilmington director for the Will County Emergency Services and Disaster Agency, said although there’s no immediate cause for concern, residents along the river are “not out of the woods yet.”

“We got a lot of snow last night, and the snow melts and can’t soak into the ground right now since the ground is still frozen,” Houseman said Tuesday.

The potential for flooding and ice damage is possible with ice still piled up along the shoreline leftover from January and February’s snowfall and record-breaking

cold temperatures, he said.

“There’s a nice, clear channel running through now, but there is some ice piled up that could cause a problem,” he said. “It’s a whole lot better than they were a week ago, but there are still some along the shoreline that should go through. But you never know, things could jam up again.

Residents should take precautions and not drive through flooded roadways, he said.

Kahler and Ballou roads in Wilmington and Leisure Road in Ritchie – just southeast of Wilmington – had been closed due to flooding but were recently reopened.

JOLIET – Gabriela Escutia on Wednesday was found guilty of first-degree murder for shooting an ex-boyfried she claimed was abusing her.

There was never any question that Escutia shot and killed Javier Barrios in October 2007.

Jurors spent about four hours deliberating whether Escutia, 25, was the “manipulative, cold-blooded killer” prosecutors say lured Barrios to his death, or a woman defending herself from Barrios’ violent control and threats against her and her family.

Escutia was working at a cellphone kiosk in the Louis Joliet Mall when she met Barrios, 18, earlier that summer shortly after her on-off boyfriend Ricardo Gutierrez began serving a jail sentence. As Barrios and Escutia’s relationship deteriorated into frequent fights, she tried to break off the relationship and obtained a restraining order against him.

She also reconnected with Gutierrez when he was released from jail. Escutia told Gutierrez that Barrios was bothering her, but never informed him they’d dated while he was in jail. Escutia testified in her own defense last week before the jury of seven women and five men.

On Oct. 26, 2007, Barrios and Escutia arranged to meet two days later in a public place and talk. Escutia asked Gutierrez to get her a gun because she “planned to shoot him twice,”

she testified.

Around 4 p.m. Oct. 28, Escutia, Gutierrez and a female friend of Gutierrez who was known as “Troubles” went to meet with Barrios at the Meijer Gas Station near Route 59 and 135th Street in Plainfield.

Escutia walked over to Barrios’ Chevrolet Suburban by herself – wearing a glove on one hand to avoid leaving fingerprints on the gun, which was hidden in a pair of sweatpants she was giving back, she said. Escutia opened the passenger door and shot Barrios once through the heart before the gun jammed.

Barrios climbed out the window and ran toward a nearby field before Gutierrez took the gun and shot him twice in the head. Gutierrez was convicted of murder in a separate jury trial last year and was sentenced to 68 years in prison.

Escutia and Gutierrez left the parking lot after the shooting and went to a see a movie that night. The order of protection Escutia had against Barrios led police to question her the next day.

A domestic violence expert said Barrios’ telephone threats against Escutia and her infant daughter triggered a “fight or flight response” where she felt trapped.

“She meant to shoot him twice before she ever got there,” Assistant Will County State’s Attorney Tricia McKenna told the jury in closing arguments. “She wasn’t paralyzed with fear. She was a woman on a mission – to kill Javier Barrios.”

Three Dems on primary ballot for Will County Board District 9

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS

lleonecross@shawmedia.com

The March 18 Democratic primary election for Will County Board District 9 features two incumbents and the daughter-in-law of a county board member.

Political newcomer Lauren Staley-Ferry, 35, of Joliet, is daughter-in-law to Mark Ferry, who was elected to the Will County Board in 2012. She faces incumbents Diane Zigrossi, 54, of Crest Hill, and Walter Adamic, 52, of Joliet.

Republican candidate Annette Parker, of Crest Hill, is running for District 9 unopposed in that primary.

The district covers parts of Joliet, Homer Glen, New Lenox, Lockport and Crest Hill.

Voters in the Democratic primary will elect two of the three candidates to be on the November ballot. Two county board members represent each district.

Adamic, 52, has the longest tenure on the board with 25 years, while Zigrossi, a retired banker, was elected to the county board in 2008. Zigrossi also has served on the Lockport District 91 school board

and Lockport City Council.

Challenger Staley-Ferry, a mother of a 4-year-old son and eight-year e m p l o y e e a t Walter C a p i t a l O n e Adamic Financial, said Joliet she plans to seek input from the community.

“My goal in all of this is to help people,” she said in an email response, adding that she Lauren is the “choice Staley-Ferry against the sta- Joliet tus quo.”

Her volunteer efforts with organizations such as Make-AWish and Habitat for Humanity has helped Diane her prepare for Zigrossi a role in community service, Crest Hill she said.

All three candidates support creating jobs, promoting business growth and improving current county facilities.

A new, larger judicial facility in Joliet is needed to replace the current courthouse, which lacks modern security and functionality, they all agreed.

All candidates said they are in favor of the proposed Illiana Expressway, a 47-mile tollway that would connect Interstate 55 in Wilmington to Interstate 65 near Lowell, Ind. Adamic, who’s running as a team with Zigrossi, said the he offers a “wealth of experience” and would bring proven leadership to the board as a fiscal conservative.

“I watch the taxpayers’ dollars like I watch my own,” he said.

Zigrossi said she hopes to continue working with the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning to address flooding concerns in the Fairmont community, between Joliet and Lockport. She said she has fought for funding to put in additional sidewalks and, if re-elected, will continue working on similar projects with the community.

Zigrossi said she believes in “open, transparent government” and values her constituents’ opinions.

Minooka grade school board member Don McKinney resigns

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MINOOKA – Minooka Consolidated Community School District 201 board member Don McKinney submitted his resignation Tuesday.

“I got a letter yesterday afternoon stating he is resigning immediately due to personal reasons,” school Superintendent Al Gegenheimer said Wednesday.

McKinney said there is not any one particular reason he is leaving the board. He said his job as superintendent of

Nettle Creek School District 24 C has a political side to it, as does his seat on the Minooka school board.

“It takes more time than I have to put into both,” McKinney said. “[My wife] Jackie and I have agreed to both get out of politics.”

He said his family also has been dealing with health issues in his wife’s family and he is needed at home.

Gegenheimer said the district will post the opening through a newsletter. Anyone interested in the position can submit a resume to the

district office. The district will compile the resumes and contact those interested after the board has set an interview date, he added.

He said the next regular board meeting is Wednesday and members likely will establish a date for interviews at that time.

The board has 45 days to find a replacement or the regional superintendent of schools will become responsible for the replacement. Gegenheimer said he expects a replacement to be named at the April meeting.

Tuition to increase at JJC

By BILL WIMBISCUS

JOLIET – About 60 Joliet Junior College students turned out Tuesday to urge the board of trustees to raise tuition rates by $4 in 2015.

Without the increase, which was approved by the board 4-2, students were told they faced losing school clubs and activities.

“It went better than we thought it would,” said Curtis Anderson, one of the students who helped organize what he described as a “sit-in.” Anderson is president of the JJC Futurists, one of the clubs that faced potential closure without the rate increase.

The board approved increasing tuition rates from $80 per credit hour to $84 per

credit hour in 2015, JJC Director of Communications Kelly Rohder said.

Voting for the measure were trustees Bob Wunderlich, Jeff May, Andy Mihelich and Susan Klen. Voting against were Tina Markley and Barbara Adams. Mike O’Connell was absent.

Without the tuition increase, student activities would be on the chopping block in a “worst-case scenario” if the college was unable to collect all of its property tax revenue, Rohder said.

JJC President Debra Daniels spent time discussing the issue with JJC’s student government “so that students were made fully aware” of the situation, Rohder said.

Student clubs and activities fall under the Office of

Student Activities.

“I didn’t want to see OSA taken away because they do a lot for our school,” said Alexis McMartin, a second-year criminal justice student. “If we lost all of our clubs and activities, then we’re just an institution with classes and our campus would be dead.”

JJC’s last tuition increase was $4 per credit hour in April 2012.

Another $5 per credit hour increase is being eyed for 2016.

In addition to tuition, the college charges a fee of $31 per credit hour. Fees cover the cost of technology, capital assessments and student services, which include student IDs, child care, emergency messaging, athletics and part of student club costs, Rohder said.

The sun is seen Wednesday through a snow-covered tree’s branches in Joliet.

NEW LENOX – Three men were arrested Friday for allegedly fencing stolen merchandise in Joliet stores.

Deputy Police Chief Robert Pawlisz said New Lenox businesses, including WalMart, had recently reported an increase in shoplifting certain items.

“When large amounts of baby formula or razor blades are taken at once, we believe these items are going to be turned over and resold, not kept for personal use,” Pawlisz said.

Six weeks ago, New Lenox police and the Will County Cooperative Police Assistance Team began targeting businesses trafficking in stolen property, Pawlisz said. Wal-Mart and J.C. Penney provided more than $10,000 worth of merchandise, including formula, razors and electronics that were tagged with surveillance equipment.

Pawlisz said police traced stolen items to Sunshine Food Mart, 1922 E. Washington St., and South End Food Mart, 50 McDonough St.

“Search warrants were used to find stolen items at those businesses and at Mustafa Issa’s home,” Pawlisz said. Thirty-five grams of cocaine also were found during the search of South End Food Mart, according to police.

Ibrahim N. Adwan, 60, of the 16900 block of 88th Court in Orland Hills, and Mustafa Issa, 65, of the 7800 block of South Nagle Avenue in Burbank, are both employed at South End Food Mart, Pawlisz said.

STATE

By SOPHIA TAREEN

The Associated Press

CHICAGO – The four Republicans running for governor don’t completely agree on perhaps the biggest financial decision looming over Illinois residents’ pocketbooks – whether to extend the state’s temporary income tax hike.

While none of the contenders are advocating increasing the income tax, two candidates – state Sen. Kirk Dillard and state Treasurer Dan Rutherford – have left the door open to the possibility when the temporary hike expires next year. The two others – state Sen. Bill Brady and businessman Bruce Rauner – are

more firmly saying no. None have extensively detailed how they’d make up for the expected revenue loss if the tax is allowed to expire.

Illinois lawmakers passed a roughly 67 percent increase during the final hours of a 2011 legislative session with the pitch that it was temporary and would be used to fill a budget hole. Four years later, and with the state again facing the potential of dire budget cuts, the issue of whether to extend that increase when it sunsets in January nags both lawmakers who’ll begin voting on a budget soon and the candidates who want to run Illinois.

The pocketbook issue could be a deciding factor for some

voters.

Top Democrats, including Senate President John Cullerton, have started laying groundwork for an increase by predicting broad cuts and an estimated $1.6 billion revenue dip, which could result in teacher layoffs and other drastic reductions. Meanwhile, Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn, who is seeking re-election, has not said whether he will push for an extension, saying only that it needs to be addressed this year. He is expected to lay out his view in his March 26 budget address.

All four Republican rivals in the March 18 primary told The Associated Press they oppose the idea of another in-

crease. However, Dillard and Rutherford have been willing to discuss some form of extension as a possibility, given the state’s difficult financial condition, with Dillard recently softening his stance.

Before the start of the New Year, Dillard told the AP that he wanted to get rid of it: “I want to roll back this tax increase. I have never voted for an income tax increase; No one has ever taxed and spent their way into prosperity.”

But last month in newspaper editorial board meetings and in more recent debates he added that other options were on the table, including a shortterm extension.

Still, Rutherford – who

called the 2011 income tax increase a mistake – says it is hard to rule out an extension completely because of unforeseen circumstances that could face the next governor.

The two other Republicans have been more strongly opposed.

Brady, who lost the 2010 governor’s race to Quinn, said an extension would “hinder job creation.” He’s called for a study of the tax code.

Rauner, a Winnetka venture capitalist seeking public office for the first time, has said he’d call together business leaders to review the tax code to make any changes are needed, including taxes on services, are needed.

Another lawsuit attacks Sycamore fuel tax agreement

By ANDREA AZZO

aazzo@shawmedia.com SYCAMORE – No one was in the office for a Sycamore-based American Airlines subsidiary about 1 p.m.

Wednesday, the day after the Regional Transportation Authority filed a lawsuit against them.

In the lawsuit, RTA claims American Airlines and American Aviation Supply, which has a 750-square-foot office in Sycamore’s City Hall, is avoiding paying its retailers’ occupation tax in Cook County by running what the lawsuit states is a sham office in Sycamore, which is outside RTA’s taxing jurisdiction.

Under a 26-year agreement with American Aviation Supply, which lasts through 2030, the city of Sycamore receives at least $360,000 a year from American Aviation Supply, and rebates millions in sales taxes to American Airlines each year. DeKalb County, which does not have a rebate agreement with the airline, receives about $2 million in sales tax revenue each year.

The city has a similar agreement with United Air-

lines, which operates a subsidiary company called United Aviation Fuels Corp. in Sycamore. The city received about $400,000 from the agreement with United in 2012, while rebating about $17.9 million in sales tax proceeds.

In Sycamore, the money is used to fund sidewalk and parking lot improvements and general public building upkeep, among other things, according to the city’s 2014 fiscal budget.

The RTA oversees the Chicago Transit Authority, the region’s Metra commuter line and the Pace suburban bus service. The agency has been making the allegations against American for more than a year but said it was waiting for the airline to emerge from bankruptcy protection, something that happened in December.

RTA spokesman Jordan Matyas said Sycamore’s American Supply office simply is a ploy for the company to avoid Cook County taxes.

Cook County’s combined sales tax rate is 9.25 percent.

“This is clearly a violation of state law,” Matyas said.

“The law says you have to

pay sales tax where the bulk of your sales operations are.

None of that is happening.”

American Airlines spokeswoman Mary Frances Fagan said in a written statement: “We believe that we are still paying the proper amount of retailers’ occupation tax and that we are in compliance with law.” Fagan declined to comment further.

On Nov. 21, the Illinois Supreme Court found Cook County-based Hartney Fuel Oil Co., a fuel oil retailer, could no longer use a contractor in Putnam County to take advantage of lower sales-tax rates there

TWO PIECE COD DINNER

for sales made in Cook County. Because the majority of the company’s selling activity was in Cook County, the court found it should be subjected to the tax rates there.

Sycamore City Manager Brian Gregory declined to comment Wednesday saying he had not had an opportunity to review the lawsuit.

The lawsuit comes a year after the RTA accused United Airlines in a lawsuit of doing the same thing in Sycamore.

RTA estimates its damages in 2013 total $8.3 million, money that would have benefitted its transit system, Matyas

ONLY $8.00

said.

Matyas said RTA will drop its lawsuit if American Airlines recovers the money RTA claims it lost and pays taxes in Cook County, where the bulk of American Aviation Supply’s business is.

American Airlines is collecting in excess of $14 million with the agreement, Matyas said.

“It’s not benefitting the city of Sycamore,” he said. “This is a win-win for American Airlines, and for taxpayers, it’s a lose-lose.”

Gas blast destroys 2 NY buildings

By JAKE PEARSON and JONATHAN LEMIRE The Associated Press

NEW YORK – A gas leak triggered an earthshaking explosion that flattened two apartment buildings on Wednesday, killing at least three people, injuring more than 60 and leaving nine missing. A tenant said residents had repeatedly complained in recent weeks about “unbearable” gas smells.

By evening, rescue workers finally began the search for victims amid the broken bricks, splintered wood and mangled metal after firefighters spent most of the day dousing the flames. Heavy equipment, including back hoes and a bulldozer, arrived to clear the mountain of debris where the two five-story East Harlem buildings stood. Flood lights were in place. Thermal imaging cameras were at the ready to identify heat spots – bodies or pockets of fire.

The recovery was facing hardship in the form of the weather, which was expected to drop into the 20s with rain.

Some parts of the debris pile were inaccessible because of a sinkhole caused by a subsurface water main break, officials said.

The fiery blast, on Park Avenue at 116th Street, not far from the edge of Central

Firefighters battle a fire Wednesday after a building collapse in the East Harlem neighborhood of New York.

Park, erupted about 9:30 a.m., around 15 minutes after a neighboring resident reported smelling gas, authorities said.

The Con Edison utility said it immediately sent workers to check out the report, but they didn’t arrive until it was too late.

The explosion shattered windows a block away, rained debris onto elevated commuter railroad tracks close by, cast a plume of smoke over the skyline and sent people

running into the streets.

“It felt like an earthquake had rattled my whole building,” said Waldemar Infante, a porter who was working in a basement nearby. “There were glass shards everywhere on the ground, and all the stores had their windows blown out.”

Police said two women believed to be in their 40s were among the dead.

Hunter College identified one as Griselde Camacho, a

security officer who worked at the Silberman School of Social Work building. Hunter, in a statement on its website, said she had worked for the college since 2008.

At least three of the injured were children; one, a 15-yearold boy, was reported in critical condition with burns, broken bones and internal injuries. Most of the other victims’ injuries were minor and included cuts and scrapes.

Fire officials said some

people were unaccounted for but cautioned they may not have been in the buildings.

A tenant in one of the destroyed buildings, Ruben Borrero, said residents had complained to the landlord about smelling gas as recently as Tuesday.

A few weeks ago, Borrero said, city fire officials were called about the odor, which he said was so bad that a tenant on the top floor broke open the door to the roof for ventilation.

The fire department said a check of its records found no instances in the past month in which tenants of the two buildings reported gas odors or leaks.

Jennifer Salas lived in one of the buildings. She told The New York Times her husband, Jordy Salas, and her dog were in the building at the time of the collapse and were missing.

Edward Foppiano, a Con Ed senior vice president, said there was only one gas odor complaint on record with the utility from either address, and it was last May, at the building next door to Borrero’s. It was a small leak in customer piping and was fixed, he said.

The block was last checked on Feb. 28 as part of a regular leak survey, and no problems were detected, Foppiano said.

Official: Obama to push for more overtime pay

By JULIE PACE

The Associated Press WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama will direct the Labor Department to strengthen overtime pay protections for millions of workers, a White House official said.

The directive is meant to help salaried workers, such as fast-food shift supervisors or convenience store managers, who may be expected to work

more than 40 hours a week without receiving overtime pay. The proposed change is part of Obama’s effort to focus on closing the gap between the wealthy and the poor, which also includes a call to raise the federal minimum wage from $7.25 per hour to $10.10.

The proposal is likely to be met with opposition from some Republicans and members of the business community who say the private sector should

have flexibility in setting wages.

Under the new changes Obama is seeking, the Labor Department could raise the pay threshold for workers covered by overtime rules. Currently, salaried workers who make more than $455 per week are exempt from overtime.

California and New York have set higher thresholds of $640 and $600 a week respectively, the White House official

said.

Obama is expected to announce the proposed regulation changes on Thursday. The announcement is part of his self-described “year of action,” a series of economy-focused executive decisions that don’t require congressional approval.

The White House official said Obama is authorized to take this action on this own under the Fair Labors Standards Act, which Congress passed

in 1938. The proposed changes will be subject to public comment before the Labor Department can start implementing the final rule.

The move was first reported by The New York Times.

The official confirmed the announcement on condition of anonymity because the official was not authorized to discuss the directive on the record before the president’s announcement.

The ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama expressed a glimmer of hope Wednesday that a referendum on the future of Ukraine’s Crimean Peninsula can be halted, as he met with the new leader of the former Soviet republic.

Sitting side by side in the Oval Office with Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk, Obama said he hoped lastditch diplomatic efforts might lead to a “rethinking” of Sunday’s Russian-backed referendum. If the vote does occur, Obama said, the U.S. will “completely reject” its results. He warned that the in-

ternational community would be “forced to apply a cost to Russia’s violation of international law.”

“There’s another path available and we hope President [Vladimir] Putin is willing to seize that path,” Obama said. “But if he does not, I’m very confident that the international community will stand firmly behind the Ukrainian government.”

As Obama and Yatsenyuk met, a U.S. Senate committee advanced a measure to impose significant sanctions on Russia – a bid to pressure Putin to pull Russian troops out of Crimea. The measure, which now would go to the

full Senate, would authorize $1 billion in loan guarantees to Ukraine’s new government and allow the Obama administration to impose economic penalties on Russian officials responsible for the intervention in Crimea or culpable of gross corruption.

In the 14-3 vote, all Foreign Relations Committee Democrats supported the measure.

Republican objections concerned how the U.S. would pay for the loan guarantees and provisions to expand the lending authority of the International Monetary Fund.

The bill stops short of going after Russian banks or energy companies as some

legislators proposed, but it would give Secretary of State John Kerry more leeway as he readies for diplomatic talks with his Russian counterpart in Europe Friday.

Yatsenyuk, a 39-year-old pro-Western official, took control in late February after Ukraine’s pro-Russian president fled after three months of political protests. With Ukraine now caught in a diplomatic battle between East and West, Yatsenyuk said Russia must recognize that his country can have ties with both.

“Ukraine is and will be part of the Western world,” Yatsenyuk said, speaking in fluent English.

Obama’s meeting with Yatsenyuk amounted to a diplomatic dig against Russia, which does not recognize Ukraine’s new government.

Russia has moved military forces into Crimea, a pro-Russian area that will vote Sunday on whether to become part of Russia or remain in Ukraine with broader powers.

Obama urged Congress to quickly approve the $1 billion loan guarantee to help Ukraine’s fledgling government. That guarantee is supposed to supplement $15 billion in assistance from the European Union, as well as additional money from the International Monetary Fund.

The Associated Press

KANDAHAR, Afghanistan – It began with a rattle of gunfire when insurgents attacked a former intelligence headquarters in this southern Afghan city. For more than an hour Wednesday, automatic weapons and machine gun fire resounded as police and commandos hunted down the three attackers.

The battle, witnessed by The Associated Press, provided a rare firsthand glimpse of Afghan security forces in action without international support.

The troops showed some weaknesses – lack of equipment and glitches in coordination – but eventually emerged victorious, killing the insurgents.

The Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack, which showed the sort of daily tests Afghan forces have faced since taking the lead in security duties while U.S. and allied combat troops prepare to withdraw by the end of the year. The Islamic militant movement has stepped up its campaign of violence ahead of April 5 presidential elections.

Kandahar is the birthplace of the Taliban movement, which held power in Afghanistan for five years until it was ousted in 2001. It has been the site of some of the deadliest battles between insurgents

Washington has said it will likely refuse to leave behind a residual U.S. force of several thousand troops to train and mentor Afghanistan’s security forces if the Afghan government does not sign a bilateral security agreement with the U.S. by the end of the year.

Wednesday’s attack began with what appeared to be a mistake by the Taliban. The building they struck was aban-

doned by the intelligence agency several months ago when it moved its headquarters to a nearby location. Only a skeleton crew of guards was there Wednesday.

“They must not have known that the intelligence headquarters had relocated,” deputy police chief Rehmatullah Atrafi told the AP after the battle.

The three attackers – young men in their early 20s wielding hand grenades, automatic rifles and smaller weapons – opened fire on the building at about 11 a.m., forcing the guards to retreat inside. The insurgents then moved onto

nearby rooftops.

The police response was quick. Officers rushed to the site from a nearby station in green armored pickup trucks and cordoned off the road.

They had bullet-proof vests, but notably no helmets. They were followed by police armored vehicles mounted with machine guns that fanned across nearby streets, searching for the attackers.

Soon after, intelligence service commandos moved in.

They were equipped with considerably better body armor and had helmets – along with scarves wrapped around their faces to protect their identities.

They rode in Humvees, instead of the pickup trucks used by police.

One insurgent was gunned down early in the fight, but the two others held out as the security forces raced through the streets, a constant sputter of automatic gunfire reverberating through the area.

Two AP journalists witnessed the gun battle along with several Afghan reporters from behind the cordon a few hundred yards from the former intelligence building.

At one point, chaos erupted.

It appeared one insurgent had managed to flee into surrounding streets and was on the loose.

The police – speaking rapidly on their walkie-talkies – weren’t sure. Several ran down

a main road looking toward the rooftops. Some ducked as they ran, fearing they could be hit from above.

Amid the confused battle, communication appeared to be shaky at times. Despite the walkie-talkies, police cordoning off the roads were not sure what was going on in the thick of the shooting a short distance away.

At one point, police Col. Mohammed Omar looked surprised to see his men retreat away from the site of the gun battle. He moved for cover, not sure what turn the battle had taken. Talking rapidly into his walkie-talkie, he received word that an insurgent might be on a nearby rooftop.

Then a powerful boom from a heavy machine gun sounded from the area of the former intelligence headquarters, followed by automatic weapons fire. The remaining two insurgents were trapped, police said. Finally, the machine gun fire stopped. Policemen slowly walked away from the site. It was over.

The mangled corpses of the insurgents were left on the street and displayed to journalists for about an hour before being taken away in a police pickup truck.

One commando and a woman who lived in the area were wounded in the fight, police said.

Report: Chinese site may show plane debris images

By CHRIS BRUMMITT and EILEEN NG The Associated Press

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia – Murky satellite images that a Chinese science and defense agency said may show debris from the missing Malaysian Airlines jetliner provided a fresh clue Thursday in the search for the plane, pointing searchers to a location nearer to the plane’s original flight path south of Vietnam.

The revelation could provide searchers with a focus that has eluded them since the plane disappeared with 239 people aboard just hours after leaving Kuala Lumpur for Beijing early Saturday.

Since then, the search has covered 35,800 square miles, first east and then west of Malaysia and even expanded toward India on Wednesday.

The Chinese sighting, if confirmed, would be closer to where the frantic hunt started.

The Xinhua report said the images from around 11 a.m. Sunday appear to show “three suspected floating objects” of varying sizes in a 20-kilometer radius, the largest about 79-by-72 feet.

The images originally were posted on the website of China’s State Administration of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense. That site reports coordinates of a location in the sea off the southern tip of Vietnam and east of Malaysia.

But since the satellite images were taken four days ago, it is far from certain that whatever they show would be in the same location now.

No other governments have confirmed the Xinhua report, which did not say when Chinese officials became aware of the images and associated them with the missing plane.

Two-thirds of the passengers were Chinese, and the Chinese government has put increasing pressure on Malaysian officials to solve the mystery of the plane’s disappearance.

Malaysia’s civil aviation

chief, Datuk Azharuddin Abdul Rahman, said Malaysia had not been officially informed by China about the images, which he said he was learning about from the news.

He said if Beijing informs them of the coordinates, Malaysia will dispatch vessels and planes immediately.

“If we get confirmation, we will send something,” he told The Associated Press on Thursday.

Until then, he urged caution. “There have been lots of reports of suspected debris.”

On Wednesday, it was revealed that the last message from the cockpit of the missing flight was routine. “All right, good night,” was the signoff transmitted to air traffic controllers five days ago.

Then the Boeing 777 vanished as it cruised over the South China Sea toward Vietnam, and nothing has been seen or heard of the jetliner since.

Those final words were picked up by controllers and relayed in Beijing to anguished relatives of some of the people aboard Flight MH370.

The Chinese reports of the satellite images came after several days of confusing and conflicting statements from Malaysian officials.

On Wednesday, the Malaysian military officially disclosed why it was searching on both sides of the country: A review of military radar records showed what might have been the plane turning back and crossing westward into the Strait of Malacca.

That would conflict with the latest images on the Chinese website.

For now, authorities said the international search effort would stay focused on the South China Sea and the strait leading toward the Andaman Sea. Chinese impatience has grown.

“There’s too much information and confusion right now. It is very hard for us to decide whether a given piece of information is accurate,” Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Qin Gang said in Beijing.

Yes to historic tax credits

Two Illinois lawmakers are driving bills to create an economic development engine we believe will preserve historic structures, create jobs and pay for itself in the long run.

That’s why public-private development agencies have been pushing for the expanded state historic tax credits contained in a bill filed recently by state Rep. Frank Mautino, D-Spring Valley.

The bill would allow a credit up to $3 million per project on state income taxes equal to 20 percent of the qualified cost of an historic rehabilitation. That mirrors the 20 percent tax credit offered by the federal government.

Historic credits already exist in Illinois, but only for five cities, and those will expire soon. Success stories from that limited experiment, as well as in the 32 states which offer tax credits for re-purposing historic structures, offer plenty of reasons not only to renew existing credits, but to expand them.

The Economic Development Opportunities from an Illinois Historic Tax Credit found that Illinois would spur as much as $10.24 in economic impact for each dollar in historic tax credits awarded during the construction phase, and up to $11.47 per $1 in the first five years after completion.

The state would capture new income and sales tax revenues before it even hands out the income tax credit and only restorations which meet strict guidelines would qualify so the private developer bears the risk of projects not taxpayers.

Bonnie McDonald, president and CEO of Landmarks Illinois, says neighboring states already use historic tax credits to lure development inside their borders. “We are the ‘hole in the doughnut’ in our region and developers and investors will continue to choose to invest in those states over Illinois until we too can provide the gap incentive to make construction possible,” she said.

The credits could also be a boon to aging downtowns in small communities throughout the state and backers say preservation is a green choice because some old building and materials won’t end up in landfills.

The legislation creating the state historic tax credit failed to make it to a vote in the House last year purportedly because lawmakers were focused on pension reform. That is no longer an excuse for inaction, so we urge Speaker Michael Madigan to call this job-creating economic development engine for a vote.

CPAC’s Muslim brotherhood problem As thousands of conservatives from across the country gather outside Washington, D.C., this week for the annual Conservative Political Action Conference, they get to see and cheer on their favorite conservative all-stars and presidential hopefuls in person – Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, Dr. Ben Carson, Sarah Palin, Ann Coulter and many more.

But something else is going on.

Amid the hoopla, book signings, meet and greets, speeches, panels and bands, a tense, no-holds-barred fight is underway to try to rid CPAC of a pair of influential men with track records of working with America’s enemies – Islamic organizations the U.S. government has linked to the Muslim Brotherhood and larger world of jihad.

It sounds like the setup to a thriller: Here is the preeminent showcase of red-meat conservatism, and at its organizational heart are movers and shakers with links to the world jihadist movement. But these are the facts as laid out in a meticulous, 40-plus-page “Statement of Facts” solemnly signed last month by former CIA

VIEWS Diana West Director R. James Woolsey, former U.S. Attorney General Michael B. Mukasey, former U.S. representative and retired Army Colonel Allen B. West, retired U.S. Navy Admiral James A. Lyons, retired U.S. Army Lieutenant General and former Pentagon intelligence official William G. Boykin, former Pentagon Inspector General Joseph E. Schmitz, former federal prosecutor Andrew C. McCarthy, former Ambassador Henry F. Cooper, former FBI Special Agent John Guandolo, and former CIA officer Clare Lopez.

These nine men and one woman sent their dossier and a letter to Cleta Mitchell, counsel of the American Conservative Union (ACU), the organization that has staged CPAC for the past 40 years.

They also sent it to every member of the ACU board.

Among these ACU board mem-

bers is Suhail Khan. A former Bush administration appointee, now a member of a newly minted minority “engagement” council of the Republican National Committee, Khan is one of the two men under these former national security officials’ scrutiny. The other is Khan’s longtime ally Grover Norquist, the well-known anti-tax activist and ubiquitous presence at CPAC and other conservative power centers.

The case against Khan and Norquist is not new. Frank Gaffney, a national security expert and former Reagan Pentagon official (also a friend and colleague of mine) first began making it more than a decade ago. On behalf of ACU, Mitchell officially rejected a similar presentation by Gaffney in 2011, maintaining that it had “no basis” in fact, but rather constituted “continuing venom against Grover” – as if, for example, laying bare both Khan’s and Norquist’s troubling, past associations with such enemies of America as the later-convicted al-Qaida terrorist

Make your voice heard on health care

The Herald-News / TheHerald-News.com • Thursday, March 13, 2014

20

To the Editor: People in the Chicago area have an opportunity this spring to weigh in on a timely and important topic: health care.

For months, the news has been buzzing about changes in our health care system, like the Affordable Care Act and health insurance exchanges.

As millions of Americans begin to take a more active role in their health care, now is an important time for everyone with health insurance to make their voices heard.

From February through April, health insurers conduct a survey called the Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (CAHPS), which is mailed to select people with health insurance, including those enrolled in an individual plan, an employer-sponsored plan and Medicare.

Responding to the survey by mail or phone is one way you can become part of the broader effort to improve our nation’s health care system.

Responses are kept anonymous.

Survey responses help the government and insurance providers identify ways to better serve people and improve the care they receive.

The government and insurers want to make sure that people in the Chicago area receive good medical care from doctors they trust. The CAHPS survey is one tool used to achieve this goal.

The CAHPS survey is an important opportunity for Americans to have a say in how health care changes in the years ahead.

I encourage people in the Chicago area to respond to the survey, as this one simple step can help improve health care for all of us.

Bruce Weiss, MD, PHD Market medical director for UnitedHealthcare in Chicago

America making too much of Barbie dispute

To the Editor: Poor Barbie. For over 50 years, this doll has been a cultural toy icon for millions of girls. During the course of her career, Barbie has been a veterinarian, a nurse, an astronaut, and more, with a full wardrobe to match her chosen profession. Recently, critics want the Girl Scouts of America to end any association with Barbie, stating that Barbie is not a good role model for girls. Barbie has been widely criticized for her unrealistic body proportions.

I was a chubby kid but I don’t recall that it was Barbie who made me feel bad about my body image. The bullies at school took care of that. I also watched “Superman” and “The Three Stooges” as a child, but I never flew off the garage roof thinking that I could fly like Superman and I never poked anyone in the eyes like the Three Stooges. Even though I was a kid, I knew the difference between me (reality), and Barbie (a toy).

I think America is making way too much of ... a doll. If you think that your little girl feels “inadequate” compared to Barbie, you need to have a serious talk with your daughter.

I think that some parents and the do-gooders need to get a grip. If your daughter has poor self-esteem based on her body image, don’t blame Barbie.

Besides, aren’t we supposed to teach our children about diversity and encourage acceptance of all people – even Barbie with her unrealistic body? And speaking of unrealistic bodies, why doesn’t anyone ever pick on Barbie’s toy-boyfriend, Ken? Toys are an outlet for children to use their imagination. Barbie is a teenage “hottie” but so what? I would rather have my granddaughter play with Barbie than watch hours of mind-slop on TV. Judy Lake Lockport

Those associated with brotherhood not fit to lead • CPAC

Continued from page 19 and Muslim Brotherhood member Abdulrahman “Oh Allah, destroy America” Alamoudi could be discounted as a personality clash.

With Woolsey, Mukasey, West and the rest now attesting to them, ACU’s quite feeble and unbecoming excuses won’t wash. The central question remains, now anchored by the reputations of heavyweight public servants. That question is: How long will the ACU and CPAC both embrace and be guided by men who, as distilled by the executive summary of the group’s Statement of Facts, “have extensive ties to ‘various Muslim extremist organizations,’ individuals associated with them and their activities”?

Ties to groups avowed to America’s destruction are not usually seen as conservative movement resume enhancers. But that’s not the only bizarre aspect to

this long struggle to reintroduce the survival reflex into conservative thinking. The ACU seems unable to recognize that people who build political careers associating with operatives from Muslim Brotherhood front groups and advancing their interests straight into the inner sanctum of the Bush White House are not the best candidates for conservative leadership.

All Americans, not just conservatives, should read the Statement of Facts. In concise and measured language, it lifts the curtain on the complex machinations of Islamic influence agents and operatives orbiting around the network of U.S. Muslim Brotherhood front organizations that have multiplied throughout the U.S. in the past 50 years. (Suhail Khan’s parents actually founded several of them.) The group’s goal? Nothing less than to destroy the United States and transform what is left into an Islamic-ruled land.

The U.S. Muslim Brotherhood’s 1991 strategic blue-

print for “civilization jihad,” discovered in 2004 by the FBI during a raid, says so.

According to this “Explanatory Memorandum,” the Muslim Brotherhood’s “work in America is a kind of grand jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within ... so that it is eliminated and God’s religion is made victorious over all other religions.”

Like so many other dire threats to U.S. national security, however, Muslim Brotherhood infiltration is never, ever discussed under CPAC’s auspices. Perhaps, in ACU-CPAC-land, there’s no need. After all, at CPAC in 2011, ACU board member Suhail Khan declared: “There’s no Muslim Brotherhood in the United States.”

That’s good enough for the board of the American Conservative Union.

But is it good enough for American conservatives?

CLASS 3A RICH EAST SECTIONAL: JOLIET CATHOLIC 53, PONTIAC 52 (2 OT)

JCA’s run continues in double overtime victory

By DICK GOSS

dgoss@shawmedia.com PARK FOREST – The idea during March Madness is to survive and advance.

Joliet Catholic’s performance in Wednesday night’s semifinal in the Class 3A Rich East Sectional played that theme to the hilt.

The Hilltoppers led most of the way, but had to negotiate two overtimes before surviving Pontiac, 53-52, to advance to Friday night’s title game against Morgan Park.

Yes, that Morgan Park. The defending Class 3A champion with a 6-foot-11 center and a whole lot more athleticism and talent. The team that ousted Rich East, 80-55, Tuesday.

“Nice reward, huh?” JCA coach Joe Gura joked about Friday’s opponent.

“Anything can happen,” Hilltoppers guard Keegan Tyrell said. “We just need to play hard and see what happens.”

What occurred Wednesday would need a book to detail, so numerous were the ups and downs for both sides.

JCA (12-20) led most of the way. But once Pontiac (9-18) battled its way into a 38-all tie with 4:40 left, it was game on and then some.

Before it was over, the Hilltoppers’ Colton Kolowski, arguably their best player of late, fouled out with 1:36 left.

Sophomore post player Luke Mander, who sprained his ankle late in the third quarter and left the game for a while, returned and made big play after big play.

Tyrell, the sixth man, contributed a large dose of quality minutes. His free throw after his steal at halfcourt with 1:15 left tied the game at 41, and was the final point of regulation.

The Hilltoppers scored the first six points of the first overtime, but Pontiac can shoot the 3. The Indians made a pair from beyond the arc, one after a JCA turnover, to tie it at 47 and bring about overtime No. 2.

Tyrell’s layup off a Mander assist opened the second overtime, and Mander contributed a huge basket on a spin move.

“It was probably one of my best games. The ankle’s sore. I have to ice it.”

Luke Mander

Joliet Catholic boys basketball sophomore throws twice to account for the final margin, and senior Jimmy Elias corralled a huge defensive rebound in the closing seconds.

At that, Pontiac’s Drew Mills, who led all scorers with 18 points, glanced a 30-footer off the rim as time expired.

“It was one probably one of my best games,” said Mander, who hit all four shots and added two free throws for 10 points despite hobbling. “The ankle’s sore. I have to ice it.”

“Luke was a beast tonight,” said Fellows, who had 10 points and 14 rebounds, helping JCA to a 33-28 advantage on the boards. “We wanted to

try to get him the ball down low because of the matchup he had.”

“Mander did a real nice job and Fellows was good off the boards when we needed to get it done,” Gura said.

Harold Davis scored 11 points, Kolowski had 10 and Jalen Jackson had nine for the balanced Hilltoppers.

Besides Pontiac’s refusal to go away, JCA’s other issue was free throw shooting. After a solid regional at the line, the Hilltoppers made only 8 of 18 in the fourth quarter and two overtime periods.

“I was telling the guys the free throws are like practice,” Gura said. “I said, ‘You bunch of rookies.’ I was just trying to calm them down.”

“This was awesome, the way the crowd was in it and everything,” Tyrell said.

“Maybe we missed our free throws because we were a little nervous.”

On this night, that was perfectly understandable.

Cingrani, Roark may have company sometime in 2014 VIEWS Dick Goss

• Thursday, March 13, 2014

From a Joliet-area perspective, Tony Cingrani and Tanner Roark were our Major League Baseball feel-good stories of 2013.

Cingrani, a Lincoln-Way Central graduate, was in the Cincinnati Reds rotation most of the season, although he was out injured virtually all of the last six weeks. Roark (Wilmington) was called up from Triple A in August and pitched very well for the Washington Nationals.

Starting 18 games and appearing in 23, Cingrani finished 7-4 with a 2.92 ERA. In 104 2⁄3 innings, he struck out 120.

Roark went 7-1 with a 1.51 ERA. He started five games among 14 appearances and pitched 53 2⁄3 innings, allowing 38 hits and 11 walks while striking out 40.

Cingrani will begin this season in the Reds’ rotation.

He is healthy and has pitched well this spring except for allowing two home runs in a recent outing against the San Francisco Giants, one a threerun shot by Buster Posey.

The left-hander is working this spring on developing his slider and changeup.

He threw his devastating four-seam fastball, a reported 81.5 percent of his pitches last season, second in the big leagues to Bartolo Colon, and it worked. But he knows he needs better secondary pitches.

Roark has appeared in two spring games as a starter and one in relief. That’s telling because the right-hander has proven he can start or relieve, and the Nationals entered spring unsure whether he would be the fifth starter or a reliever/spot starter.

Regardless, what Cingrani and Roark did last year reinforces this area’s claim

Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Tony Cingrani throws to the San Francisco Giants during the fifth inning of a March 6 spring training game in Scottsdale, Ariz. Cingrani, a Lincoln-Way Central graduate, was in the Reds’ rotation most of last season, although he was out injured virtually all of the last six weeks. as a baseball hotbed. Furthermore, it might not be long before they have local company in the big leagues.

Names that immediately come to mind are Dean Anna (Lincoln-Way East), Mike Foltynewicz (Minooka) and Zach Petrick (Morris). Joe Benson (Joliet Catholic) might get another shot, and perhaps Ethan Hollingsworth (Plainfield South) will be in position to get the call.

They’re not to that level yet, but the time eventually might come for John Ruettiger (Joliet Catholic), Tony Bucciferro (Minooka) and Derek De Young (Plainfield Central).

Anna, who is one of seven infielders still on the Yankees’ active roster, is bidding for the second base or utility infielder job. He is hitting .375 (6 for 16) and has a .500 on-base percentage.

Foltynewicz, who threw a fastball in Double A last season that once was clocked at 103 mph, has pitched in three major league spring games with the Astros. In six innings, he had allowed three hits and one run, a solo homer. He has struck out one and walked nobody.

The right-hander is likely to begin this season in Triple A. He is ranked among the top pitching prospects in baseball, and some say he could make his major league debut this season.

Petrick, the St. Louis Minor League Pitcher of the Year, took a couple of steps up in the Cardinals’ organization last season and has appeared in three spring games with the parent club. He allowed five hits and four earned runs in six innings while walking two and striking out six.

Benson, an outfielder

who in December signed a minor-league contract with the Miami Marlins, with an invitation to spring training, is 1 for 13 with the Marlins and probably will not begin the season in the big show. He made his debut in September of 2011 with the Twins.

Hollingsworth, a righthander with Pittsburgh, retired the only batter he faced in a major league game this spring. He was in Double A last season.

Ruettiger is an outfielder with Baltimore who could begin this season in Double A, Bucciferro pitched on the Single A level last year with the White Sox and De Young did the same for the Oakland Athletics.

From the independent ranks, former Joliet Catholic second baseman and The Herald-News Player of the Year, Nick Ratajczak has

signed with the Washington Wild Things of the Frontier League, where he will play for former Slammers manager Bart Zeller.

Mark your calendars. The Wild Things play a thee-game series May 27 to 29 at Silver Cross Field.

And, let’s close with mention of a few potential future pros.

Indiana corner infielder Sam Travis (Providence) and Illinois State catcher Mike Hollenbeck (Joliet Township) are hitting well in the early going and are candidates to be selected in the June freeagent draft.

Sophomore left-hander Kevin Duchene (Joliet Catholic), a first-team Freshman All-American last spring, is pitching well again this season at Illinois and will be eligible for the draft next year.

BEARS FREE AGENCY

Emery revels in NFL’s March madness

LAKE FOREST – Phil Emery never felt dizzy.

Maybe everyone else felt dizzy, what with 32 NFL teams vying for many hundreds of free agents all at once. But the Bears general manager felt right at home in the frenzy, like a veteran quarterback in the pocket as chaos erupted all around him.

“I was having the time of my life,” Emery said with a smile Wednesday at Halas Hall.

The Bears organized a news conference to introduce two of their free-agent acquisitions, defensive end Lamarr Houston and safety Ryan Mundy. Shiny new jerseys awaited the players – No. 99 for Houston, No. 21 for Mundy – and both men flashed millionaires’ smiles as they held up their jerseys for the cameras.

It was a nice moment.

And then I checked my Twitter feed and saw that Josh McCown had signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, DeMarcus Ware had signed with the Denver Broncos, Darren Sproles had

VIEWS Tom Musick requested his release from the New Orleans Saints, Darrelle Revis had been cut

by Tampa, and Owen Daniels was visiting Green Bay. Plus a bunch of other stuff.

So, you know, kind of a ho-hum afternoon.

Here, right smack in the middle of two wild days of NFL transactions, seemed like a good time to check in on Emery. Because if he showed any signs of grumpiness or weariness or hesitation, that probably would bode poorly for the Bears.

Instead, Emery looked as giddy as an English teacher in a bookstore.

“How’s everybody doing?”

Emery asked as he stepped to the lectern. “Did you slog through the snow this morning? They do a great job around here cleaning the streets. We knew if we got you at 1:30, it’d be all cleared and ready to go.”

This was vintage Emery,

friendly and upbeat.

That’s good because significant work remains for Emery and his coaching staff as they look to repair the Bears’ woeful defense from a year ago. Houston and Mundy are a nice start, but the Bears still need a starting cornerback, a No. 3 cornerback, a couple of safeties, a couple of defensive tackles, a couple of defensive ends, another quarterback with NFL experience, and an effective No. 2 running back.

Did we mention depth at tight end and on the offensive line?

Emery’s happy mood was not a product of denial or blissful ignorance. The longtime scout acknowledged the work that lied ahead both in free agency and the draft.

Sure, Emery dodged a few personnel questions, such as what the Bears might do with Charles Tillman or Henry Melton – “We’re working through that,” he said – but he also offered some valuable insight. Yes, he said, the Bears’ free-agent moves would help to shape which positions the team would target in the draft. He also said

the crop of cornerbacks was much deeper in the draft than it was in free agency.

Emery could have spoken all day. But he had agents to call, players to scout.

“I would describe it as a wild process this weekend,” Emery said. “It’s a lot of fun.

You can’t be timid during the ‘UFA’ process. There’s a lot of moving parts. You have to stay in it, you have to swing hard and be willing to reload and swing again. …

“You adjust as you go, you remain flexible, you have to.

It’s just, it happens too fast, there’s too many people involved, you have to stay light on your feet and be willing to think differently and look at the equation differently and how it’s all going to work for you.”

Better clarity won’t arrive for weeks and months.

That’s not a problem.

Emery is having the time of his life.

INDIANAPOLIS – No. 8 Michigan ended one championship drought by clinching its first outright Big Ten crown last week.

Now the Wolverines will get a chance to end another title drought in the conference tournament, which has been filled with some of the school’s most forgettable basketball moments – from Evan Turner’s 40-foot buzzer-beater for Ohio State to the embarrassment of having the 1998 title stripped away because of NCAA sanctions.

Maybe this time, Michigan can put those images behind it for good.

“You’ve just got to go and get through those first games and really play well,” coach John Beilein said before leaving for Indianapolis. “You’ve got to find ways to get lucky and got to find times to play hard and if you can, you’ll be sitting there in the champi-

onship game.”

The Wolverines (23-7) are the favorite.

They have the conference’s player of the year, Nik Stauskas, and the media’s choice for coach of the year in Beilein. They have a fivegame winning streak and 15 wins in conference play.

They have multiple NBA prospects and for the first time in school history, the defending national runner-ups are seeded No. 1.

But Beilein also is well aware of what can go wrong in the postseason.

He led the Wolverines to semifinal appearances in 2011 and 2012, but they haven’t played for a title since or won more than one game in a single tourney since that ‘98 championship run, which was later expunged.

Michigan’s march toward redemption begins Friday against either eighth-seeded Illinois (18-13) or ninth-seeded Indiana (17-14), who play Thursday.

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

JOLIET – Donald Brooks of Joliet displayed with pride a letter from the College of DuPage in Glen Ellyn, where Brooks is working toward a certificate in addiction counseling.

The letter named Brooks as a “Student in Good Standing” for maintaining a 2.0 grade point average. Brooks achieved this honor despite a history of three rounds in the Cook County Jail (two for aggravated robbery), a heroin addiction and childhood labels of a learning disability and attention deficit disorder.

Armed with a renewed faith in God, a slogan of “to open their eyes and turn them from darkness to light” (Acts: 26:18) and a mission to help atrisk youth, Brooks, 44, hopes to earn a bachelor’s degree in social work from Governors State University.

This is, for Brooks, an accomplishment beyond his dreams.

“Society says that when you have two parents with addictions, the chance of their child being successful is slim to none,” Brooks said as he spread his arms wide open.

“But here I am.”

At age 2, Brooks moved in with his maternal grandparents – Norma and Donna Booker of Riverdale – because his parents were living in one room at his paternal grandfather’s house and the Bookers felt they could offer Brooks a better life, Brooks said.

Until Brooks was 9, life revolved around church, school and a regular home routine. When Brooks began consistently misbehaving and pleading to live with his mother, the Bookers let him go.

Brooks was soon exposed

Donald Brooks (center) is seen on the day he performed his empowerment skit “Donald Brooks from darkness to light” for a youth lock-in at Redeem Church of God in Christ in Joliet. Standing with Brooks is the church’s pastor, Eugene Fears Jr. (left) and the church’s youth minister, Marcel Fears (right). to gambling and his mother’s multiple addictions, which led to Brooks running around with a rough crowd and sampling alcohol, activities that should be far from the mind of a young boy, Brooks said. Consequently, he returned to the Bookers’ home.

As a high school wrestler, Brooks stayed out of trouble. After graduation, he joined the military and was stationed in Germany from 1990 to 1991. The real trouble started when Brooks came home.

He experienced nightmares, a series of temporary jobs, drinking that escalated into drug use, robbing stores

to support his addictions and the subsequent jail time to pay for the robberies. Brooks did not know he was suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder.

“I didn’t know how to deal with my feelings,” Brooks said.

During a third stint at the Cook County Jail, Brooks – with the full support of his wife, Shawna Landry-Brooks of Joliet, whom Brooks married in 2007 – became part of the WestCare Impact Program.

According its website, www.westcare.com, this foundation is “a family of tax-exempt nonprofit organizations, [that] provides a

wide spectrum of health and human services in both residential and outpatient environments.”

Also according to its website, this national program also provides “ ‘jail-based’ short-term intensive substance abuse services for male detainees inside Division 6 of the Cook County Jail.” The program helps the men improve communication skills and social behaviors by eliminating destructive ones and adopting those that are positive.

Topics covered when the men meet in groups, said James McGrew, the substance abuse counselor who worked with Brooks, include “common sense” ethics, gangs, drugs and HIV. The program is not successful for every man that completes it, McGrew said, but it works for many of them, often with permanent results – especially once it makes sense to men that “it’s not OK to use drugs or hit a woman.”

McGrew is impressed with Brooks’ progress and feels certain Brooks will attain his goals. Brooks said he was discharged from the Cook County Jail in July

Christopher Hudson, youth minister at Bolingbrook Community Church, said he met Brooks at the Bolingbrook Community Center during a youth event, heard Brooks’ story, became inspired by it and then began seeking opportunities for Brooks to share his experiences.

This included speaking at a Black History Month event and mentoring youth at Brooks Middle School in Bolingbrook, as part of a collaboration between the church and the Bolingbrook school, Hudson said.

“I just love his passion,” Hudson said. “I just love the way he’s not in it for himself.

He loves to serve. He loves to help and uplift people and to do community service. For a person like that, I’m willing to help in any way I can.”

This past Christmas, Brooks collected pillows and blankets and distributed them to the homeless.

He plans to conduct two distributions this year. In the meantime, Brooks is busy scheduling speaking engagements, “not just in Joliet, but everywhere,” so at-risk youth can hear – from someone who has walked in their shoes – that with faith in God and belief in themselves, they can change their circumstances.

“That’s my message,” Brooks said.

Methodists end case against same-sex wedding

By VERENA DOBNIK

The Associated Press

NEW YORK – A United Methodist bishop on Monday dropped the case against a retired minister accused of breaking church law by officiating his son’s same-sex wedding – a dramatic decision that came just months after another minister was defrocked for the same reason.

The Rev. Thomas Ogletree, 80, a former dean of the Yale Divinity School, said he’s grateful his church had decided not to put him on trial for what he called “an act of pastoral faithfulness and fatherly love.”

Bishop Martin McLee, who made the announcement at a news conference in White Plains, a New York suburb, also called on church officials to stop prosecuting other pastors for marrying same-sex couples. The bishop said he would cease trials over the issue in the district he leads, which covers 462 churches in New York and Connecticut. Ogletree lives in Guilford, Conn.

The bishop later told The Associated Press that it was clear the minister, by conducting the same-sex rite, had “violated the Discipline” – as Methodists call their ecclesiastical laws.

But the bishop said the best way to deal with the case was to bring it to what he called “a just resolution.

We didn’t dismiss the case – we resolved it.”

And then, he said, “the question was, do we go the punishment journey, or something more nuanced?”

McLee said the resolution was to ask Ogletree to participate in a public forum later this year – a broad discussion about divisions among Methodists over gay relationships and about how the church deals with human sexuality.

Ogletree’s was the second

high-profile United Methodist case in recent months over same-sex relationships.

In December, the Rev. Frank Schaefer, a minister from Pennsylvania, was defrocked after he officiated at his son’s same-sex wedding.

On Monday, Schaefer welcomed Monday’s decision but noted it didn’t seem fair.

“Two United Methodist ministers are charged with the exact same ‘crime’ of officiating at their son’s same sex weddings – one is defrocked, the other one’s case is dropped without conditions,” he said in a statement.

Still, Schaefer added, he’s “very happy” Ogletree and his family will be spared an internal church trial that was “an emotional ordeal that I never want to experience again.”

He added, “Thank you Bishop McLee!” McLee’s decision is considered a victory for Methodists who have defied the church law that considers homosexuality “incompatible with Christian teaching.”

Conservative Methodists have been pressing church leaders to discipline clergy who preside at gay weddings.

Ogletree presided over the wedding of his son, Thomas Rimbey Ogletree, to Nicholas Haddad on Oct. 20, 2012, at the Yale Club in New York City.

Some Methodist clergy filed a complaint against the minister after the wedding announcement appeared in The New York Times. The lead complainant was the Rev. Randall C. Paige, pastor of Christ Church in Port Jefferson Station on Long Island.

Paige issued a statement Monday saying that he’s “dismayed by the settlement” and said there were no “consequences.”

The decision will also further divide the church, Paige said.

It’s hard to resist the temptation

CELEBRITY CIPHER

George Bernard Shaw said, “I never resist temptation, because I have found that things that are bad for me do not tempt me.”

At the bridge table, though, it can be difficult to recognize bids and plays that will prove to be bad for you. In this deal, for example, defending against a contract of four spades, West leads the club ace: three, two, eight. What should he do next?

The auction was straightforward. North made a threespade game-invitational limit raise, showing 10-12 support points (high-card points plus shortage points, not that he had any of those here) and eight losers (one spade, one heart, three diamonds and three clubs). South had an easy raise to game.

One of the most irresistible temptations for a defender is to cash a winner. Here, less-experienced players would take the club king at trick two, then look around for inspiration.

But declarer would be in clover, losing only two clubs and one heart.

Instead, West should trust his partner’s trick-one signal.

East dropped the two, his lowest card being discouraging (if you and your partner use upside-down signals, East should play the nine at trick one). This denies the queen (unless he has exactly queen-two-doubleton, which is very unlikely).

So West should shift at trick two, hoping his partner can get on lead early enough to push a club through South.

Here, any lead other than a spade at trick two defeats the contract, assuming East leads a club when he gets in with his heart ace.

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips school.

Abby, my family loves Fred and welcomed him with open arms, but I feel detached from him. As soon as I learned I was pregnant, I began separating myself because I knew it would be difficult to let go.

I do not regard Fred as a member of my family and have no maternal feelings for him.

I’d be OK if I knew he was doing well – from a distance. But I’d prefer not to maintain a relationship. I don’t love this young man, and I don’t know what to say when he says, “Love you, Mom.” Am I wrong to feel this way?

Is there anyone else out there who feels as I do? My family is trying to guilt me into accepting him, but I can’t. It’s not because

of his greedy behavior, although that’s part of it. Have others had a similar experience? – Sincerely Not His Mom Dear Sincerely: I’m printing your letter because although many adoption reunions go well, not all of them do. If other birth mothers would like to share their experiences, I’m inviting them to do so.

However, I do have this to offer: Do NOT allow yourself to be trapped into doing anything with which you are not comfortable.

Your feelings may be based on the circumstances surrounding Fred’s birth. They may also result from your disappointment in his lack of character.

While you will always be Fred’s birth mother, you are NOT his “mom.”

That distinction belongs to the woman who raised him.

The heart does more than pump blood Dear Doctor K: When a patient has one or more blocked coronary arteries, how does a doctor decide whether to perform an angioplasty or bypass surgery?

Dear Reader: Let me explain how your heart works before I answer your question. Your heart doesn’t just pump blood – it needs blood to survive. Every organ in your body needs a constant energy supply. And every organ is making waste material and needs a “garbage collector” to take the waste away. Both the energy supply and the waste removal come from the blood that constantly runs through every organ. The heart is the muscle that constantly pumps blood through every organ in your body.

Like any organ, the heart also needs energy and waste disposal.

The heart gets its blood supply from coronary arteries. These arteries can get clogged by cholesterol-filled plaques of atherosclerosis, causing a permanent obstruction.

Such a permanent obstruction can cause symptoms such as pain (the condition called angina), or a weaker heartbeat when the heart is forced to work harder than normal. The heart works harder during exercise and during times when people get angry or their blood pressure is high (for exam-

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff ple, because they are not taking their blood pressure medication).

Medicines can help reduce the work of the heart. An aggressively healthy lifestyle, over many months, can shrink the size of the obstructing plaques. However, sometimes a permanent obstruction from a plaque needs to be eliminated promptly. The two main treatments are angioplasty plus stenting, or coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery.

Angioplasty plus stenting: A small balloon wrapped in a collapsed stent is inserted into a blood vessel in the groin or arm and maneuvered into the heart.

When the balloon is inflated, it flattens the cholesterol-filled plaque that was restricting blood flow. The balloon is deflated and removed. The stent remains behind to prop open the artery.

CABG: During open-heart surgery, an artery or vein taken from elsewhere in the body is stitched in place to reroute blood around the blocked artery.

The choice between angioplasty and bypass depends on a number of factors. I spoke to my

colleague, interventional cardiologist Dr. Donald E. Cutlip, for more details.

When all three of the heart’s coronary arteries are narrowed or blocked, bypass is the better choice. (The doctor might make an exception if a patient is too frail to undergo surgery.) Also, for patients with diabetes, CABG is generally superior to angioplasty.

When fewer than three coronary arteries are affected, the choice depends on which arteries are involved. The left anterior descending artery (LAD) feeds blood to more of the heart muscle than the other two coronary arteries. When the LAD is narrowed or blocked, bypass surgery usually is best.

With colleagues at Orca Health, we have recently published inexpensive iBooks for the Apple iPad and iPhone on angioplasty and stent, and on CABG surgery. They show you – with spectacular videos – what happens during these procedures. You can learn more about them at my website, AskDoctorK.com.

Dr. Wallace: Matt and I have been going steady for about seven months.

He’s a very nice guy, and I like him a lot.

When we’re together, we have a lot of fun. My problem is that quite often we’ll make a date, but he’ll call at the last minute and cancel because his buddies want him to do things with them.

The first couple of times this happened, I didn’t say too much, so now he takes advantage of me.

Yesterday we were going to see a movie and he called 10 minutes after he was supposed to pick me up and told me he was doing something with his friends. This time I exploded and told him that I was very unhappy about this. All he said was, “Sorry, I’ve got to go. Talk to you later?”

How should I handle the situation? I’m really a soft-spoken, gentle person. – Nameless, Peoria Dear Nameless: Your boyfriend is totally inconsiderate and is taking advantage of your gentle nature. This shouldn’t happen again. If it does, dump him!

Dr. Wallace: I’m so glad you encourage your teen readers to have pen pals. Please allow me to share my pen pal experience with them: My pen pal and I started corresponding when we were both 15-year-olds, and that was over 50 years ago!

Although we have still never met face-to-face, we have grown up together.

We have shared all of our good times, including high school graduation, marriage and the birth of our children – and our grandchildren.

We have also helped each other through a few not-so-good times.

We have exchanged countless photos and many meaningful gifts, and I still consider her to be my very best friend!

What more can I say?

Teens, if you ever

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace have the opportunity to become a pen pal, do so!

My pal has provided my life with an abundance of enrichment, joy and love. – Still writing those letters, Elkhart, Ind.

Dear Still Writing Those Letters: Thanks so much

for sharing your wonderful pen pal experience with our teen readers.

I agree with you 100 percent. The friendships that bloom from the written word can enrich lives forever!

Dr. Wallace: I’m not overweight, but I’m also not underweight, either.

My problem is that my mother insists that I eat everything she puts on my plate. I try to eat nourishing foods and stay away from fatty and salty foods, but many times that’s what I’m required to eat. Let me give you an example.

Last night for dinner, my mother put on my plate a large fried pork chop, a large helping of mashed potatoes with milk and butter added and gravy, plus a helping of creamed corn. It took me almost half an hour to finish and I left the table so full that I could hardly walk away. I guess I’m lucky she doesn’t insist that I also eat dessert!

I’m 13, and I don’t think that it is healthy to always clean your plate, especially when you feel full. Do you agree? – Mindy, Jackson, Miss.

Dear Mindy: I agree. I am not a member of the “clean your plate club.”

Food should be tasty and nutritious, and should never be wasted. One should take a small portion of each item and be allowed to have a small extra portion if desired, but you should never be required to leave the table stuffed!

Dear Abby: When I was in my early 20s, I had a baby boy I placed for adoption. I could barely take care of myself, let alone a newborn. The father wanted nothing to do with me or the baby, so I placed him with his relatives out of state, who adopted him. With counseling, I got my life back on track, finished college and got a good job. I am married now and have a family.

After 20 years, this child, “Fred,” called me. We talked every night for a few weeks and I invited him here to live with me.

BIG MISTAKE! Long story short, Fred is greedy, lazy and expects everyone to wait on him. He refuses to look for a job or go to school, and he expects me to pay all his expenses.

I called his adoptive family.

They said when things don’t go his way, Fred pouts and doesn’t communicate until he needs money. They feel exactly as I do – he should get a job or go to

HOROSCOPE

By BERNICE BEDE OSOL

Newspaper Enterprise Association TODAY – Refrain from taking unnecessary risks in the coming year. Be methodical and systematic in your efforts. Acting in haste could cause you to miss some important details. If you go slowly, you’ll be able to consider all factors as well as take advantage of opportunities that will lead to success.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Financial or career gains could be heading your way. Approach your boss for a raise or send out your resume.

Discussing opportunities with someone you’ve previously worked with will pay off.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Consider reconnecting with an old friend and take advantage of any travel deals that turn up. Romance is on the rise. A positive personal change is apparent.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Look after your interests. Some information you receive will be inaccurate. To save costly delays, you should verify every piece of information before moving forward.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Change is in the air.

You’d be wise to check out real estate opportunities. Find a property or location you are interested in and make some inquiries. Relocating now could prove beneficial professionally.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Keep your dealings with others to a minimum. Someone will consider your goals to be unrealistic. Don’t waste time trying to persuade others to see things your way.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Put your creativity to good use. Channel your energy into a project that interests you. If you do something that you find stimulating, you will make new friends along the way.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Your plans are gaining momentum. It’s important to keep up the pace if you want to avoid being sidetracked by someone trying to outmaneuver you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – If you keep an eye out, you will find an attractive deal. Muster up some courage and go after your dreams. You are likely to redeem some surprising benefits, as well as some recognition.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – You will run into several pitfalls if you don’t take measures to ensure your success. Be happy with the results you achieve, however long it takes you to get them.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Let your adventurous side take over. Feel free to try something new, but don’t overestimate your abilities. If you let people with experience lead the way, you will reach your goal.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Some of your relationships may have grown stale or unfulfilling. Take a step forward, and look for new people, places and pastimes to stimulate your mind and get you back in the game.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – It’s time to effect some necessary changes. Whether you have to make an adjustment to your financial, intellectual or physical situation, it’s a good day to take action.

Remembering Joe McGinniss, author of one of the best nonfiction books ever

By GENE WEINGARTEN The Washington Post

Joe McGinniss, author of one of the best nonfiction books ever written, died March 10.

I wrote that accolade in my head nearly two years ago, on the day Joe first told me he had inoperable, metastatic cancer. I felt it had to be said, and that, for complicated reasons, no one else would say it in an obit.

All that was missing was the date of death.

I first met McGinniss in 1988, introduced by a mutual friend, when McGinniss was at the apex of his career, one of the most highly regarded writers of his generation.

As it turned out, from that point on, the arc of his career would be not so much a tailspin as a nose dive. His decline was partly of his own making – some unwise choices, both personal and professional – but I believe it all stemmed from a single event, the publication of a grievously unfair 1989 article in the New Yorker that called him a journalistic con man.

At issue was McGinniss’s conduct while reporting his masterwork, “Fatal Vision,” a book about Jeffrey MacDonald, the handsome young army doctor who murdered his wife and two daughters in a drug-fueled frenzy in 1970. During the doctor’s 1979 murder trial, McGinniss had been invited

by MacDonald and his lawyers to be a fly on the wall; in return for a piece of the book royalties, the writer was given unrestricted access to the defendant and his legal team. Just like the jury, McGinniss eventually became convinced of

Non-fiction writer Joe McGinniss pictured above in 1969. McGinnis died March 10.

MacDonald’s guilt, but did not tell MacDonald. To keep the murderer’s cooperation, which he desperately needed to flesh out his book, McGinniss feigned incredulity at the verdict and sympathy for an unjustly convicted man.

When it was published, the book took MacDonald by surprise. It said he was a killer, unequivocally. Its greatest strength was that it provided a riveting look inside the mind of a narcissistic sociopath, based largely on MacDonald’s own words, volunteered to the writer in hours of taped monologues from prison, when he presumed the author to be his friend and supporter.

After the book became a best-seller, MacDonald sued McGinniss for breach of contract, saying, in effect, that the writer had deceived him.

The jury was hung, but the trial transcript (including embarrassingly ingratiating letters from McGinniss to MacDonald) gave New Yorker writer Janet Malcolm a platform from which to skewer McGinniss – and, as it happens, to purge her own demons.

Her 1989 story – “The Journalist and the Murderer” – indicted not only McGinniss, but the sometimes manipulative craft of journalism for being ethically indefensible. Not surprisingly, her story had legs. Journalists love nothing more than discussing themselves.

This never really became a part of the narrative, but in writing this piece, Janet Malcolm was also wrestling with her own guilt. She had recently gone through a trial of her own, having been sued by celebrity psychoanalyst Jeffrey Masson for a piece she had written that had called him a narcissist. Masson claimed she made up quotes, and though Malcolm won the case, it hurt her reputation. She was never able to convincingly establish that she had not made up quotes. When she was writing about the alleged journalistic misdeeds of Joe McGinniss, she had a chip on her shoulder, a boil to be lanced. It leaked all over the page.

Joe McGinniss wrote many excellent books in the first half of his career – “The Selling of the President,” about the impact of PR on politics, was extraordinarily prescient, and “Going to Extremes,” about the weirdness of Alaska and Alaskans, is a forgotten gem.

The majority of McGinniss’s work after “Fatal Vision” was inferior. Much as I hate to agree with Sarah Palin about anything, his 2011 biography of her was thin and crappy and lazy, filled with poorly sourced innuendo.

But I am writing this because of “Fatal Vision,” which was as good and as rigorous a work of nonfic-

tion as there is. It belongs right here, in the same sentence as Truman Capote’s “In Cold Blood,” which may be the greatest true-crime book ever written.

What was McGinniss supposed to have done when he realized, midway through the reporting, that the man he was writing about had lied to everyone? That he had killed his wife and older daughter in a rage – and then calmly, methodically hacked to death his sleeping 2-year old, stabbing her 33 times with a knife and ice pick, just to strengthen his alibi? Was McGinniss required to dutifully inform the murderer that he now believed him guilty, and invite him to withdraw his cooperation if he wished, possibly killing the book outright, but certainly killing it as a meaningful, enlightening, powerful examination of the mind of a monster?

There is an implicit covenant between a writer and a subject; in return for whatever agreement you might make for the telling of the story, the subject must tell you the truth. If he lies, all deals are off. It is impossible for a subject to be less truthful than Jeffrey MacDonald was with Joe McGinniss: he misrepresented the central fact of his story, his own guilt.

One of the main reasons that there is still doubt about Jeffrey MacDonald’s guilt – 44 years after the crime – is the degree to which “Fatal Vision” was unfairly pilloried by Janet Malcolm, and in a tsk-ing generation of journalistic self-righteousness that followed. It was a great book. It was a fair book. It is Joe McGinniss’s masterpiece.
