New sidewalks approved around Lockport school

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com LOCKPORT – New sidewalks could be constructed around Kelvin Grove School in Lockport as early as this May. At Wednesday’s City Council meeting, Lockport council members unanimously approved of concurring with the state to award Davis Concrete Construction Co. the bid for construction of sidewalks around the Kelvin Grove School area. The bid was for $247,255, which will come from funding from the Illinois Safe Routes to School program.

“Most of our schools are walking schools,” said Mayor Steve Streit, who saw a need for this project. “They don’t really bus kids.”

In 2011, the city’s engineering department received an Illinois Safe Routes to School funding for the Kelvin Grove Area Sidewalk Project. The federally-funded program is administered by the state department of transportation to support projects and programs that enable walking and bicycling to and from school, state officials have said.

At the time, city officials were awarded roughly $250,000 from the state to fund construction for sidewalks throughout heavily-trafficked sidewalks at the school. Construction of sidewalks would happen along 11th Street, Adams Street, Grandview Avenue, Valley Lane and Eighth Street.

City Engineering Director Amy Wagner said construction could potentially begin as early as May. Council members also unanimously approved of entering an agreement with Strand Associates to produce a study on a potential emergency water supply connection between the city and Joliet for a fee of up to $23,150. City officials noticed before the city lacked an emergency water supply connection with another community.

City Administrator Ben Benson has said while Joliet has multiple connections with other communities, they would be ideal because it is the closest to Lockport and has no water system issues. At Wednesday’s meeting, he said Joliet city officials would not be interested in co-funding the study.

“This whole project is still a study for our benefit,” he said.

“It would certainly be subject to their [Joliet] council approval at some point once we try to go for a connection but they would have a more vested interest at that point.”

The study will involve a report and preliminary engineering on the location and sizing of the emergency water supply connection.

Council members unanimously approved changing the city’s budget cycle to a calendar year. They also approved of a six-month budget period for this year to adjust for new calendar-based budget cycle next year.

City officials previously discussed the advantages and disadvantages of moving the fiscal year out of its current cycle, which is July 1 through June 30.

City officials said the calendar-based budget cycle would give newly-elected officials more time to process the budget, more time to budget for construction projects in the summer and allow the property tax levy and budget to be approved at the same time.

Plainfield superintendent Harper headed for Providence Catholic

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com NEW LENOX – Retiring Plainfield school district Superintendent John Harper will take over as principal of Providence Catholic High School next year.

“We know he brings a lot of experience,” said the Rev. Richard McGrath, president at Providence. “There’s not too much that’s going to be a surprise for him.”

Harper has served as a teacher, administrator and superintendent of Plainfield Community Consolidated School District 202 for more than 30 years.

He will retire in June, hand-

ing over the district’s reins to Associate Superintendent Lane Abrell as part of a four-year plan to make a smooth transition to a new superintendent.

“For the past 33 years, I’ve been blessed to both live and work in District 202,” Harper said in a news release from Providence. “And I’ll remain eternally grateful for the life lessons I’ve learned from my colleagues, our families and most especially, our students.”

McGrath said the interview process started with a search committee of 11 members.

Harper sent his resume by email, along with 25 candidates.

After checking references, the committee interviewed seven people.

After calling three of those candidates in for a second interview, the committee brought two of them for review to McGrath, who chose Harper after a third interview.

“He’s a graduate from Providence, and that is helpful,” McGrath said, adding that Harper is in some ways overqualified for the position. “One difference is this is a private school.

He’ll be learning about that difference.”

“I was a student at Providence Catholic,” Harper said in the news release. “Consequently, being named principal of Providence Catholic is a tremendous honor, bringing with it a strong sense of ‘coming home.’ ”

CORRECTIONS In the article “Joliet maintains its snow plowing policy” that appeared on page 6 of the Wednesday, March 19, 2014, edition of The Herald-News, the story incorrectly stated the city’s salt usage. The city used nearly 17,000 tons of salt this winter. Also, street clearing operations take 18 to 24 hours after snow has stopped falling, and cul-de-sac plowing is sub-contracted only when snowfall exceeds 4 inches.

Officials seek stoplights at Route 53 intersection where fatality occurred

A vehicle waits to turn north onto Route 53 from Mississippi Avenue in Elwood on Wednesday. An 8-yearold girl died Tuesday when a minivan she was in collided with a semitrailer at the intersection. the path of the semitrailer, which was unable to avoid the crash.

There is a stop sign on Mississippi Avenue at the Route 53 intersection. But for years, local officials and legislators have sought approval from the Illinois Department of Transport to install a traffic light there, and at several other intersections along Route 53, because of accidents involving semitrailers.

In 2012, flashing lights were installed at the Schweitzer Road intersection in Joliet, where there had been three collisions with semitrailers, one of them fatal.

Ilijazi said heavy truck traffic is common along Route 53, but he can’t recall there being any fatal collisions at the Mississippi Avenue intersection other than Tuesday night.

“In the 3½ years we’ve been out here, I’ve never

Previous attempts to get a signal there have been unsuccessful but the village recent-

ly hired an engineer to study traffic volume again before officials submit another request.

“I’ve gotten several calls

I’VE GOTTEN SEVERAL CALLS THIS MORNING FROM RESIDENTS ASKING WHY THERE ISN’T A LIGHT ALREADY. ” Fred Hayes, Elwood police chief

• Thursday, March 20, 2014

ELWOOD – The family of the 8-year-old girl who died Tuesday evening when a minivan collided with a semitrailer on Route 53 had been celebrating a birthday at a nearby restaurant moments before the crash.

The accident occurred at one of several Route 53 intersections where local officials want a stoplight, largely because of the dangers created by increasing numbers of semitrailers on the highway.

Tuesday’s fatal crash was the sixth at that intersection in the past year – and fourth to result in personal injury, police said. Three involved semitrailers.

“My heart dropped,” said Mony Ilijazi, co-owner the Silver Dollar restaurant, where the party was held Tuesday night. “Everyone’s pretty shaken up by it.”

Madison Frost, who died in the accident, was sitting in the third-row passenger seat in a white 2010 Dodge Caravan driven by her mother, Tina Frost, 36, of Crest Hill, when the crash occurred at 6:13 p.m. The family had just left the restaurant when the minivan pulled out from Mississippi Avenue attempting to make a left onto Route 53.

The driver of the 2012 Volvo semitrailer, Lehi Resendiz-Montalvo, 47, of Bensenville, refused medical treatment but is cooperating with the investigation.

Resendiz-Montalvo had just picked up a trailer from the BNSF railyard and was headed to Itasca when the crash occurred, police said.

Based on the preliminary investigation by state police, the Caravan pulled out into

this morning from residents asking why there isn’t a light already,” Elwood Police Chief Fred Hayes said Wednesday, adding the village has a pending request for IDOT to lower the 55 mph speed limit in the village corridor.

State Rep. Larry Walsh Jr., D-Joliet, said he contacted the Illinois Department of Transportation on Wednesday to see what, if anything, could be done.

State transportation officials will require a traffic study before determining whether traffic lights are needed, Walsh said, which could take months.

Elwood Village President William Offerman said he hopes IDOT takes the tragic accident “to heart.”

Madison’s sister Maria Frost, 15, Kevin Smith, a relative, and his girlfriend, Shannon Slobodnik, 22, also were riding in the Caravan.

The father of the family, Christopher Frost, was in a second vehicle behind them and witnessed the crash.

Kevin Smith’s brother, Kyle, was the first witness to reach Madison and began performing CPR before Officer Jennifer Leddin took over.

Maria Frost, 15, was transferred from Presence Saint Joseph Medical Center to Christ Hospital Tuesday night. Hospital reports said she suffered a broken pelvis, broken ribs and punctured lung, but is expected to survive.

Tina Frost was treated and released from Saint Joseph and Slobodnik was treated and released from Silver Cross Hospital late Tuesday.

Smith was expected to be released from Silver Cross on Wednesday. Hayes said police reports indicated all of the adults’ injuries were “serious-to-critical.”

WILL COUNTY SHERIFF

Kaupas confident his lead will hold

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Ken Kaupas, the apparent winner in the Republican primary for Will County Sheriff, expressed confidence Wednesday that his 223-vote lead will be enough as the final ballots are tallied.

His opponent, Nick Ficarello, posted a message online Wednesday morning to tell supporters to “stay tuned” until absentee ballots are counted. Ficarello did not return multiple calls made Wednesday seeking comment.

“I am cautiously confident we’ve got the votes here,” Kaupas said Wednesday. “I don’t think either my opponent or I would’ve predicted such a close race.”

The race was a bitterly fought one between the two candidates, creating the possibility that the winner may have been muddied up for the November election against Mike Kelley, who was the clear winner in the Demo-

cratic primary for the office.

Ficarello and Kaupas have not talked since the election.

“I’m going to worry about making sure this is official before I concern myself with Kelley and November,” Kaupas said.

Voting totals will become official April 8 after absentee ballots postmarked before Tuesday are reviewed and a small portion of Aurora’s votes are certified, Will County Clerk Nancy Schultz-Voots said.

Aurora’s Will County votes will be processed in Kane County and sent to Schultz-Voots, but unofficial totals gave Ficarello 170 votes to Kaupas’ 167 there.

Kaupas is a 26-year-veteran of the state police who is now a deputy chief in the sheriff’s office. Current sheriff Paul Kaupas is his second cousin.

Ficarello spent 31 years on the sheriff’s police and retired as a deputy chief in 2009.

Kaupas declined to comment on whether the criti-

cisms he and Ficarello exchanged during the primary will make it more difficult to find supporters in the general election. Ficarello’s campaign website included links to a state police discipline report from 2002 that suspended Kaupas for 10 days for allegedly lying during an investigation.

Kaupas held a slight lead over Ficarello for most of Tuesday evening, but Ficarello moved ahead by 20 votes before early and in-person absentee ballots were added.

Election computers suffered technical problems when those votes were uploaded, leading to over an hour of uncertainty for both camps. When the counts were done, Kaupas received 20,388 votes, or 50.27 percent of the vote, to Ficarello’s 20,165 votes, or 49.73 percent of ballots cast.

Kelley won the Democrat primary over Ed Bradley and Steve Egan with about 40 percent of the vote.

Final vote tallies won’t be known until early April

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com The votes aren’t all in.

Will County Clerk Nancy Schultz-Voots said Wednesday that ballot totals won’t become official until a review April 1 that will include any absentee ballots that were mailed on time, but weren’t received before those votes were included with the precincts Tuesday night.

Theoretically, any ballot that was postmarked at 11:59 p.m. Monday is a legal ballot and the two-week window allows those to come in. Schutlz-Voots said those will be reviewed April 1 before the public.

The small portion of Aurora that is in Will County may

also have outstanding ballots that will be collected during that same window. Those results are processed in Kane County, which will certify those results and send them to the county clerk.

On election night, a computer glitch occurred at 9:22 p.m. when early votes and in-person absentee ballots were added.

“When the thumbdrives were loaded into the system, we noticed a change and wanted to confirm the totals were accurate,” Schultz-Voots said.

Instead of just redoing that one addition, Schultz-Voots and technical support decided to check everything. Employees spent the next hour feeding all the memory cards back into the system.

PLAINFIELD

PSA blames park district for missing equipment

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – The Plainfield Township Park District could be in more hot water after Plainfield Soccer Association officials said someone tampered with equipment that was stored in a shed on park district property.

PSA officials filed an official police report Tuesday night, claiming that locks were changed on a storage shed owned by the association on Renwick Road and some equipment was stolen. PSA equipment is normally held in storage in park district facilities during the winter months.

PSA President Rob Ayres said he believes park district staff took the equipment upon directions from some officials, and it may be because of his outspoken views against three park district commissioners.

“To do something like this that would have a negative impact not just on the program, but the kids who use [the] equipment. Who would do that?” Ayres said. “This absolutely goes after the kids.”

Park district board President Peter Hurtado said those claims were false.

“If they have proof, then I ask please bring it to the park district,” Hurtado said, adding that the PSA should have in-

formed the park district it was taking equipment out of the shed.

PSA Director of Recreation Kevin Scherry said about 15 coaches’ bags were missing, with each bag containing $60 to $100 in equipment. The bags were supposed to be distributed to about 80 coaches during the annual coaches meeting Tuesday evening.

“Last night we were scrambling to find equipment,” Scherry said Wednesday. “We had to share equipment at the meeting, and some coaches went home without a bag.”

Scherry said PSA officials went to the shed for the first time since November at about

4 p.m. Tuesday. The PSA lock was replaced by two other locks.

After talking with park district Executive Director Gene Coldwater, who was apologetic according to Scherry, PSA officials gained access to the equipment by damaging the door.

PSA officials called police Tuesday night, and were told a full report will be written when the monetary value of what was taken is accounted for.

Ayres also said the park district has moved boxes of field equipment valued at between $15,000 and $20,000 to unspecified locations. He hasn’t received word on when the park

district will return the equipment.

Ayres said the recent issues with the park district were unprecedented and may also be related to competition with the park district’s new soccer program.

Ayres has spoken out against the actions of Hurtado and commissioners Janet Silosky and Peter Steinys during board meetings. Many blame the three commissioners for several controversies stemming from the hire of former Executive Director Garrett Peck.

Coldwater could not immediately be reached for comment Wednesday.

news@theherald-news.com JOLIET – With the spring thaw and the spring rains comes the danger of spring flooding.

The city of Joliet on Wednesday issued safety tips to caution residents about potential hazards that could come with flooding and high water.

The city reminded residents to never drive on a flooded road, saying most flood-related fatalities involve motorists attempting to drive through water-covered roads.

The speed and depth of the water is not always obvious.

And as little as 2 feet of rushing water can sweep away most vehicles, including trucks and

• Maintain an emergency supply kit with bottled water, non-perishable food, First Aid items, flashlight, radio, batteries and more.

• Make an itemized list of your personal property. Include photos and/or videos of the inside and outside of your home.

• Do not walk through floodwaters. Floodwaters can move rapidly and there is often a large amount of debris in the water.

• Do not allow children to play near high water, storm drains or ditches.

• Be especially cautious in the evening and at night when it is harder to recognize flood dangers.

By BILL WIMBISCUS bwimbiscus@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Alex Ledesma has thrown his hat in the ring.

Ledesma, a former councilman, offered his resume for the vacant District 4 seat to Mayor Tom Giarrante in the most public way possible: at Tuesday’s City Council meeting.

“Now that I’m retired I can dedicate myself 24/7,” Ledesma said. “I will be a councilman,

nothing else.”

Ledesma lost his District 4 seat to Susie Barber in a close three-way race in 2007. Barber beat challenger Lorna Paisley by four votes, with Ledesma finishing third.

Barber went on to win a second term in 2011. But she resigned from her seat March 5, citing medical reasons, after missing more than 20 council sessions.

Ledesma, who has lived in

the district for 45 years, said he has “a lot of ideas and plans” that he would like to bring to the position.

Giarrante said anyone interested in applying for the council seat should email him or drop off a resume at his office.

The mayor said he plans to nominate a replacement for Barber at the April 1 council meeting.

Giarrante has 60 days to

The council then has 30 days to approve or reject the mayor’s selection.

If the council rejects the first candidate, the mayor will present a second candidate, whom the council again will have 30 days to approve or reject.

If the council rejects the second candidate, the mayor then can make a “temporary appointment” of one of the two

JOLIET – Will County is committed to ensuring that Joliet remains the county seat, according to Will County Board Speaker Herb Brooks Jr. Brooks, who led the Joliet City Council in prayer and the Pledge of Allegiance at its Tuesday session, assured council members that a proposed new courthouse would likely remain in the downtown.

“We are working diligently to stay downtown,” Brooks said in response to a comment

by Councilman Jim McFarland, who asked how the new courthouse would play into the Downtown Joliet City Center Master plan.

It’s likely the courthouse will be built where the First Midwest Bank, 50 W. Jefferson St., currently stands.

Brooks said Wednesday the county is “very, very close” to closing on the property.

Brooks noted that while a majority of the board favors keeping courthouse in the downtown, two members had proposed moving out to the Interstate 355 greenway near Silver Cross Hospital.

“Two out of 26 means that it’s not going to fly,” Brooks said. “Both sides of the aisle are committed to staying in downtown Joliet.”

The courthouse’s attached facilities, including the county jail and offices, make the downtown site a more cost-effective option, Brooks said.

McFarland was enthused

by Brooks’ comments.

“It’s promising to hear that the speaker and a majority of board want to keep the courthouse downtown,” McFarland said. “If it weren’t downtown it would kill that whole area. It’s the economic hub of the downtown.”

A new courthouse could cost anywhere from $140 million and $200 million, depending on how many courtrooms the county decides to build.

While the county does not have a timetable yet for building the facility – nor has it made a final commitment to build it – it is moving forward on the project.

The county board last week approved hiring Wight & Company of Darien as the project’s design and planning team.

Once all of the studies are completed, the county will look at funding options, Brooks said.

The appointment remains in effect until another mayoral nominee receives a simple majority or until the post is filled by election.

Nominees must have lived in District 4 for at least one year and be eligible to vote in city elections.

The District 4 seat will be up for election in the April 7, 2015, general election.

JOLIET

JOLIET – The Joliet City Council has approved spending $76,060 for a flow monitoring and infiltration analysis of the Aux Sable Waste Water Treatment plant, which services portions of the city west of Interstate 55.

Plant operators say the plant treats five to seven times as much flow following rainstorms. Homeowners in the area have complained of basement backup following rains.

The analysis will help determine where water is infiltrating the system from such sources as broken manhole covers, pipe defects or illegally connected sump pumps and drains.

In other business at its Tuesday session, the council approved: • Preliminary and recording plats for Phase 9 of the CenterPoint Intermodal Center at Joliet subdivision. The plat includes 194 acres over several lots slated for industrial development, drives, easements and naturalized areas.

• A special use permit for an auto salvage business owned by James Hernandez that would sell new and used parts in a leased space at a warehouse at 225 Maple St. • A special use permit for a one-bay auto service garage in a leased warehouse at 2402 McDonough St. The business, Nuts 4 Bolts, Inc., is owned by Tim Roesel of Shorewood.

• A variation and special use permit to allow operation of a thrift store at 304 Ruby St. The business, owned by Ramiro Lopez, will sell household goods, furniture, clothing and toys.

• Ceding the city’s $14.8 million volume cap – tax exempt bonds it receives from the state – to the Will-Kankakee Regional Development Authority for use in its first-time homebuyer assistance program. In the past, Joliet used the funding to finance residen-

tial and industrial projects. If the city had not ceded or used the funding, the money would return to the state.

• Selling a home at 410 Franklin St. that was built under the Neighborhood Stabilization Program to Jaquetta Wesley for $100,000. Wesley will receive $23,000 in down payment and closing cost assistance from the Illinois Housing Development Authority, which administers funding for the program.

• Purchasing property at 913 McKinley St. for $35,000 for expansion of the East Side Sewer Treatment Plant.

• Purchasing property at Jefferson Street and Mayor Art Schultz Drive, needed for construction of the new train station, from the Burlington Northern Sante Fe Railway Co. for $12,750.

• Accepting a $372,930 bid

by Strada Construction Co. to restore pavement, turf, curb and gutter torn up by the city for water and sewer work.

This year’s harsh winter resulted in large number of water main and residential feeder line breaks.

• Accepting a $97,009 bid from Duke’s Root Control for chemically treating tree roots infiltrating the city’s sanitary sewer system.

• Paying Layne Christensen Company, Inc., $46,380 for emergency repair of the city well at 2051 Oneida St. The well helps provide water in and around the Presence Saint Joseph Medical Center area.

• Awarding a three-year contract for secondary Internet services to Business Only Broadband for $1,750 per month. The secondary provider allows for expansion of and ensures connectivity for the city in cases where the primary service fails. The city’s current secondary service contract with Comcast for $2,550 per month ends in December.

The city plans to pay out the balance.

• Issuing a Class E liquor license for El Huichol de Don Memo, a restaurant at 1030 N. Hickory St.

Fed clarifies guidance on short-term rates

By MARTIN CRUTSINGER The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – Janet Yellen tried at her first news conference as Federal Reserve chair to clarify a question that’s consumed investors: When will the Fed start raising short-term interest rates from record lows?

Yellen stressed that with the job market still weak, the Fed intends to keep short-term rates near zero for a “considerable” time and would raise them only gradually. And she said the Fed wouldn’t be dictated solely by the unemployment rate, which she feels no longer fully captures the job market’s health.

Those two points reinforced a message the Fed delivered in a policy statement after ending a two-day meeting Wednesday.

The statement also said the Fed will cut its monthly longterm bond purchases by $10 billion to $55 billion because it thinks the economy is steadily healing.

But Yellen might have confused investors when she tried to clarify the Fed’s timetable for raising short-term rates. She suggested that the Fed could start six months after it halts its monthly bond purchases, which most econ-

A television screen on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange shows Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen’s first news conference, in Washington, D.C., Wednesday. omists expect by year’s end.

That would mean short-term rates could rise by mid-2015.

A short-term rate increase would elevate borrowing costs and could hurt stock prices.

Stocks fell after Yellen’s mention of six months. The Dow Jones industrial average end-

ed the day down more than 100 points.

The Fed’s latest statement said its benchmark short-term rate could stay at a record low “for a considerable time” after its monthly bond purchases end. The Fed has been gradually paring its bond purchases,

which have been intended to keep long-term loan rates low.

“This is the kind of term it’s hard to define,” Yellen said of “considerable time.”

“Probably means something on the order of six months, or that type of thing.”

Though stocks sold off after

that remark, the Fed’s statement and Yellen’s comments made clear that borrowing rates for consumers and businesses could remain low for many more months. Yellen also stressed that rate increases, once they occur, would occur only incrementally.

Some analysts said they thought Yellen’s reference to six months didn’t really change expectations for the timing of the Fed’s first rate increase.

“We’re not sure the comments suggest rates would begin to rise any earlier than the mid-2015 date already priced into rate futures markets,” Paul Ashworth, chief U.S. economist at Capital Economics, said in a note to clients.

In fact, Yellen devoted much of her news conference to explaining why the economy still needed a boost from the Fed. She stressed that low inflation and meager pay raises for many workers reflected a weaker recovery than the decline in the unemployment rate might indicate.

The Fed’s benchmark short-term rate has been at a record low near zero since 2008. The Fed has previously resisted specifying the timing of a possible increase in the short-term rate.

Toyota payment could be glimpse into GM’s future

By TOM KRISHER The Associated Press DETROIT – General Motors, beware.

Wednesday’s announcement that Toyota will pay $1.2 billion to avoid criminal prosecution for hiding information in a recall case could be a glimpse into your future. It’s also a warning to anyone selling cars in the U.S.: Although the federal government’s road-safety watchdog doesn’t have big fangs, the Justice Department does.

The National Highway Traf-

fic Safety Administration’s maximum fine for hiding information is $35 million, a pittance to automakers. But the Justice Department can reach deeper into your wallet and hurt your reputation with damning public statements.

Shortly after the announcement, Attorney General Eric Holder issued an apparent warning to GM and other automakers, saying the Toyota deal was “not necessarily the only time we will use this approach.”

General Motors Co., which is

facing a federal criminal probe over delays in recalling small cars with a deadly ignition switch problem, has many parallels to the Toyota case.

Toyota got into trouble for withholding information from NHTSA about floor mats that can trap gas pedals and make cars accelerate wildly, and for concealing a problem with sticky gas pedals that can cause unwanted acceleration. According to court records, the company recalled some models for the floor mats while knowing that others had the same problem.

At GM, the company has admitted knowing about the ignition-switch problem for more than a decade, yet it failed to recall 1.6 million small cars until last month. During the wait, at least a dozen people died in crashes because the faulty switches moved out of the run position, disabling power steering and brakes. Air bags also didn’t inflate.

“We now see what GM may be facing,” said Peter Henning, a law professor at Wayne State University in Detroit and a former Justice Department prose-

cutor. “If you have comparable conduct inside the company, the government is going to come down hard.”

The Toyota payment changes the model for regulating auto safety in the U.S. Before Wednesday, safety issues had been almost the exclusive domain of NHTSA. Now, the government has raised the stakes with criminal actions, Henning said.

“GM has to be concerned what kind of a hit there is going to be to the bottom line,” Henning said.

Clash on economy could determine Illinois governor

By SARA BURNETT and SOPHIA TAREEN The Associated Press

Located on McDonough St., across from Inwood Golf Course

CHICAGO – The race for Illinois governor is shaping up as a battle of vastly different visions on how to revive a lagging economy in one of the Midwest’s last Democratic strongholds, and the candidates wasted no time Wednesday shoring up those distinctions.

While incumbent Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn has increased taxes and pushed for raising the minimum wage, the Republican nominee – multimillionaire venture capitalist Bruce Rauner – wants to curtail government unions and run President Barack Obama’s home state like a business.

Rauner’s win in Tuesday’s Republican primary against three other candidates sets up a November matchup with Quinn that’s expected to be one of the hardest fought and most expensive in the nation.

As Republicans attempt to reclaim the state’s top office for the first time in more than a decade, labor unions – traditionally aligned with Democrats – are trying to avoid the kinds of blows they’ve felt under GOP governors elsewhere.

Quinn, who is seeking a second term, began airing his first campaign ad focused on Rauner’s changing stance on minimum wage during Tuesday’s primary. Quinn wants to raise Illinois’ $8.25 wage to at least $10. Rauner said he’d like to lower then later said he’d raise it under the right circumstances.

“This is a billionaire with nine homes, nine mansions, calling for a reduction in the minimum wage,” he told reporters Wednesday. “He has a lot of explaining to do.”

But Rauner disagreed.

“America is not about class warfare and it’s about opportunity. And that’s why I’m running,” he told Chicago’s WLS-TV Wednesday. “Since when in America is it bad to be hard working and successful?

It’s a great thing. I’m proud of my track record. And I didn’t inherit a nickel. I made it through a lot of hard work.”

Rauner – who said the fall election is going to be “very, very tough” – has labeled as role models Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker and former Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels, both of whom pushed anti-union policies. Those comments prompted organized labor to spend millions trying to derail a Rauner nomination.

The Winnetka venture capitalist, who sunk more than $6 million of his own money into his campaign to defeat three veteran lawmakers during his first bid for public office, targeted the “career politicians” and government “union bosses” he says have caused Illinois’ woeful financial situation.

Rauner has called Quinn a failure and said he wants to “bring back Illinois” by giving working families a chance to increase their income, get a good education and raise their families in prosperity. He has said he’d do that by lowering taxes, cutting spending and making Illinois friendlier to business.

“It’s a choice between failure of the past and a new day, a bright future,” Rauner said in his Tuesday night victory speech at a downtown hotel.

At a union hall a few blocks away, Quinn renewed his call for a higher minimum wage, calling working people “the real everyday heroes,” after easily winning his party’s nomination against a lesser-known challenger.

Republicans see Quinn as vulnerable because of the state’s budget problems, a 67 percent income tax hike he pushed for and signed, and the Midwest’s highest unemployment. Rauner frequently calls the Chicago Democrat “the worst governor in America.”

“We know in this election campaign it’ll be a tough fight,” Quinn said Tuesday. “And I’ve been in a lot of tough fights.”

By KERRY LESTER The Associated Press CHICAGO – Two leading candidates did not attend an Illinois Republican show of unity Wednesday as the party tried to close ranks for the general election in November after a bruising primary campaign.

In a sign of challenges ahead, Kirk Dillard, the runner-up to businessman Bruce Rauner in the governor’s primary, and Jim Oberweis, the party’s nominee for U.S. Senate, skipped the “March to Victory” luncheon event at Chicago’s Union League Club.

Rauner, a Winnetka venture capitalist and first-time office seeker, stressed Wednesday that the party should focus on what unites it, not divides it, pitching a message of restoring economic prosperity

to the state. Illinois has high debt and unemployment, and pensions for state workers are woefully underfunded.

“We’re going to win this [governor’s] race because we’re working for everybody,” Rauner said. “All families are suffering.” Rauner faces Gov. Pat Quinn in November, who cruised to victory in the Democratic primary.

But Republican state Sen. Dillard, who finished a better-than-expected two percentage points behind Rauner in Tuesday’s primary, was nowhere to be seen. A campaign aide said he had travelled to Springfield to attend hearings on the state budget.

Oberweis, a state Senator who won the U.S. senate nomination over fellow businessman Doug Truax, also returned to Springfield to take

part in the session.

“Jim wanted to be at the luncheon,” campaign spokesman Tom Mannix said. “There was no way for him to attend given the timing of the legislative session.”

Tensions between Rauner and Dillard ran particularly high during the primary. Of the four-man field, Dillard hit Rauner hardest, criticizing his business dealings and political connections. Dillard was supported by a number of unions who attacked Rauner with television ads, and said a number of traditionally Democratic union members would cross over to support him. In turn, Rauner in one debate asked Dillard why he wasn’t running in the Democratic primary given his union support.

Though the two candidates spoke by phone Tuesday eve-

By KERRY LESTER The Associated Press SPRINGFIELD – Several Illinois state lawmakers who cast tough votes on pensions and gay marriage fended off expensive primary challenges Tuesday.

The targeted challenges were among the toughest primary races in a year in which all 118 House seats and a third of 59 Senate seats are up. Overall, there were 27 primary contests for House seats this month, but just two in the Senate.

Among Republicans, one of two House members running for re-election who voted in favor of gay marriage last fall survived a challenge fueled conservative family groups. Rep. Ed Sullivan defeated bus driver Bob Bednar, both of Mundelein. The other, Rep. Ron Sandack of Downers Grove, was trailing Waubonsee High School

teacher Keith Matune late Tuesday, but the race was still too close to call.

Sullivan said his race ultimately came down to fiscal issues.

“My district does not believe that marriage equality is the number one issue,” he told The Associated Press.

AFSCME, the state’s largest employee union, and other organized labor groups teamed up in an effort to defeat several Democratic House members from Chicago who supported the pension overhaul. The measure, approved by lawmakers in December, is estimated to save $145 billion over 30 years, largely by cutting workers benefits.

Six-term Rep. Toni Berrios lost her primary election to journalist Will Guzzardi, who had heavy support from unions fearful lawmakers would turn next to cutting municipal employee pen-

os with Share your phot ! ty un Co ill W

sions. Berrios had narrowly defeated him in 2012.

“We said with one voice that working people who earned their retirement deserved to get it,” Guzzardi told a crowd of supporters in Chicago.

However, state Rep. Jaime Andrade, Jr. fended off four challengers, including attorney Nancy Schiavone, whose campaign was bankrolled by unions.

The other challenged incumbent, state Rep. Christian Mitchell, led Jhatayn “Jay” Travis, a community organizer who had hundreds of thousands of dollars in union support.

Democrats still stand a good chance of holding onto their veto-proof supermajorities in both legislative chambers this year, but the challenges could serve as a lesson to moderates in both parties facing difficult votes ahead.

“We’ll talk,” Dillard said to reporters Tuesday evening, following his concession speech. “Bruce and I will talk.”

The clash was the latest in a series for the beleaguered party, which like the GOP nationwide has seen battles among its tea party libertarians, social conservatives, and moderates. Last year, a former chairman of the party resigned after making statements supporting gay marriage.

NATION&WORLD Malaysia, FBI analyze pilot’s simulator

By IAN MADER The Associated Press KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia – The FBI joined forces with Malaysian authorities in analyzing deleted data on a flight simulator belonging to the pilot of the missing Malaysia Airlines plane, while distraught relatives of the passengers unleashed their anger – wailing in frustration at 12 days of uncertainty.

The anguish of relatives of the 239 people on Flight 370 boiled over Wednesday at a briefing near Kuala Lumpur’s airport. Two Chinese women who shouted at Malaysian authorities and unfurled a banner accusing officials of “hiding the truth” were removed from the room. In a heart-wrenching scene, one woman screamed in sorrow as she was dragged away.

“I want you to help me to find my son! I want to see my son!” one of the two unidentified women said. “We have been here for 10 days.”

Files containing records of flight simulations were deleted Feb. 3 from the device found in the home of the Malaysia Airlines pilot, Capt. Zaharie

An elderly woman, one of the relatives of Chinese passengers aboard missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370, covers her face out of frustration as she leaves a hotel ballroom after a daily briefing meeting with managers of Malaysia Airlines in Beijing, China, Wednesday.

Ahmad Shah, Malaysian police chief Khalid Abu said.

It was not immediately clear whether investigators thought that deleting the files was unusual. The files might hold signs of unusual flight paths that could help explain where the missing plane went.

Then again, the files could have been deleted simply to clear memory for other material.

Defense Minister Hishammuddin Hussein told a news conference that Zaharie is considered innocent until proven guilty. He said members of the

pilot’s family are cooperating in the investigation.

Zaharie was known to some within the online world of flight simulation enthusiasts.

In a post on one forum, the CEO of flight simulation software company PMDG wrote that Zaharie was a customer

who “had developed an online presence in which he dedicated many hours of his time to promoting the enjoyment of flying generally, and flight simulation specifically.” The company CEO, Robert Randazzo, could not be reached directly for comment, but the publisher of the popular forum AVSIM Online, Tom Allensworth, confirmed that the post was from Randazzo.

A U.S. official, speaking on condition of anonymity because the official was not authorized to discuss the ongoing investigation by name, said the FBI has been asked to analyze the deleted simulator files.

U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder said in Washington that the FBI was working with Malaysian authorities.

Flight 370 disappeared March 8 on a night flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing. Malaysian authorities have not ruled out any possible explanations, but have said the evidence so far suggests the flight was deliberately turned back across Malaysia to the Strait of Malacca, with its communications systems disabled. They are unsure what happened next and why.

Ukraine bows to Crimea seizure, plans for pullout

By JOHN–THOR DAHLBURG and PETER LEONARD The Associated Press SEVASTOPOL, Crimea – Surrendering to Russia’s inexorable seizure of Crimea, Ukraine announced plans Wednesday for mass troop withdrawals from the strategic peninsula as Moscow-loyal forces seized control of Kiev’s naval headquarters here and detained its commander.

Attempting to face down the unblinking incursion, Ukraine said it would hold joint military exercises with the United States and Britain.

Hours after masked Russian-speaking troops forced

their way onto Ukraine’s main naval base here, forlorn Ukrainian soldiers streamed out carrying clothing and other belongings in bags. A group of local militia and Cossacks, later joined by officers from Russia’s Black Sea Fleet, looked on.

Just how many retreating troops Ukraine will have to absorb in what amounts to a military surrender of Crimea was unclear. Many servicemen have already switched sides to Russia, but authorities said they were prepared to relocate as many as 25,000 soldiers and their families to the Ukrainian mainland.

Humbled but defiant, Ukraine lashed out symboli-

cally at Russia by declaring its intent to leave the Moscow-dominated Commonwealth of Independent States, a loose alliance of 11 former Soviet nations. The last nation to leave the group was Georgia, which lost a brief war with neighboring Russia in 2008 and ended up losing two separatist territories.

Vice President Joe Biden, is in Lithuania trying to reassure nations bordering Russia alarmed by the sight of an expansion-minded neighbor, said the U.S. would stand by them.

Ukraine has been powerless to prevent Russian troops from taking control of Crimea, which President Vladimir Putin formally annexed Tuesday with

the stroke of a pen. Crimea’s absorption came after a hastily organized referendum in which the population overwhelmingly, albeit under conditions akin to martial law, voted in favor of seceding from Ukraine and joining Russia.

Russia’s Constitutional Court chairman, Valery Zorkin, said Wednesday the treaty signed by Putin has been ruled valid, meaning it now only requires ratification by the Russian parliament.

On Wednesday morning, militiamen under apparent Russian command barged their way into Ukraine’s naval headquarters in Sevastopol, detaining the head of Ukraine’s navy

and seizing the facility. The incursion, which Ukraine’s Defense Ministry described as being led by a self-described local defense force, Cossacks and “aggressive women,” proceeded with no resistance.

Upon gaining entrance to the base, the storming party raised a Russian flag on the headquarters square. The unarmed militiamen waited for an hour on the square and, following the arrival of the commander of the Russian Black Sea Fleet, they took over the building.

By afternoon, they were in full control of the naval headquarters, a set of three-story white concrete buildings with blue trim.

Abu Ghaith said bin Laden explained that the al-Qaida training camps involved so much weapons training and a rough, hard life that he wanted him to give the recruits merciful hearts. He also testified he knew bin Laden was suspected in terrorist attacks but still “wanted to get to know that person.”

NEW YORK – Osama bin Laden’s son-in-law offered a rare glimpse of the al-Qaida leader in the hours after the Sept. 11 attacks, recounting during surprise testimony Wednesday in a Manhattan courtroom how the two met that night in a cave in Afghanistan.

“Did you learn about what happened ... the attacks on the United States?” the son-in-law, Sulaiman Abu Ghaith, recalled bin Laden asking him.

“We are the ones who did it.”

The testimony came as Abu Ghaith’s trial on charges he conspired to kill Americans and aid al-Qaida as a spokesman for the terrorist group took a dramatic turn. His decision to take the witness stand was announced by his lawyer, Stanley Cohen, who surprised a nearly empty courtroom that quickly filled with spectators as word spread.

Abu Ghaith testified that bin Laden seemed worried that night and asked what he thought would happen next.

Abu Ghaith said he predicted America “will not settle until it accomplishes two things: to kill you and topple the state of the Taliban.”

Bin Laden responded: “’You’re being too pessimistic,’” Abu Ghaith recalled.

Bin Laden then offered the onetime imam a job that would gain him infamy as well as a place in the inner circle of the world’s most wanted terrorist.

“I want to deliver a message to the world,” Abu Ghaith said bin Laden told him. “... I want you to deliver that message.”

The testimony was a rare gambit by the defense, a lastditch effort to counter a mountain of evidence against Abu Ghaith, including an alleged confession and videos showing him sitting beside Bin Laden on Sept. 12, 2001, and another in which he warned Americans that “the storm of airplanes will not abate.” The defense has never disputed that Abu Ghaith associated

with bin Laden after 9/11, but it contends he was recruited as a religious teacher and orator, and had no role in plotting more attacks.

On cross examination, though, Abu Ghaith admitted that he sent his pregnant wife, six daughters and a son to Kuwait while he went to Afghanistan on Sept. 7, 2001, after hearing inside and outside al-Qaida training camps that something big was going to happen soon.

“I had heard something would happen but I didn’t know what,” he said in response to Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael Ferrara’s questions.

Lacing some questions with sarcasm, Ferrara took particular aim at Abu Ghaith’s claims that he was merely embellishing bin Laden’s “bullet points” on videotapes as he condemned America. And Abu Ghaith’s testimony also gave the prosecutor an opportunity to again show video clips of Abu Ghaith angrily denouncing America and of the second plane hitting a World Trade Center tower on Sept. 11.

Ferrera mocked Abu Ghaith’s statement that he stayed and helped bin Laden for two weeks after Sept. 11 because the conditions in Afghanistan were tense and he had no way to travel.

“You are telling this jury that you made a speech in which you called on people to terrorize the infidels because you didn’t have a personal car?” he said, drawing from one juror a smile and a nod to a fellow juror.

“I don’t understand the question,” Abu Ghaith responded.

Testifying through an Arabic interpreter, the 48-yearold Kuwaiti-born defendant looked relaxed when he first took the stand, wearing a blue shirt, open at the collar, beneath a charcoal-colored jacket.

He testified he first met bin Laden when the al-Qaida leader, who was living in Kandahar, Afghanistan, summoned him in June 2001 after hearing he was a preacher from

ANOTHER VIEW

Protect those who protect us So-called privileges of rank have taken on a perverse meaning in the U.S. military. Stunning tales of sexual assault at the highest levels of the service betray the grievous breadth of the abuse.

The U.S. Senate last week unanimously adopted changes in the military-justice system to protect victims when they step forward to report the crimes, and how those investigations and prosecutions are handled.

New avenues of appeal were created in instances where military commanders refuse to proceed with sexual-assault charges. Earlier, the Senate failed to agree on legislation to strip commanders of that discretion.

Indignation over that legislative outcome may well have empowered last week’s victory.

This latest effort builds on changes made in 2013 that require civilian review of decisions not to prosecute, eliminate a statute of limitations for court-martial in rape and assault cases, and criminalize retaliation for filing reports of assault.

Failure to protect men and women who have volunteered to defend their country is shameful. The willingness of the system to protect its own is disgraceful, if grimly predictable.

Right now the public – and Congress – is watching all manner of vulgar examples play out. A brigadier general negotiated a plea deal in a trial at Fort Bragg, N.C. Meanwhile, the Army is investigating sexual-abuse allegations against an officer who trains military prosecutors to handle sexual-abuse cases.

The Associated Press reports the Pentagon estimates 26,000 military members may have been assaulted in 2012.

Elemental changes in attitudes and workplace conditions are needed to make the regulations approved by the Senate have full meaning.

What the public sees now is the privileges of rank come with some vulgar assumptions about what can be done without accountability or penalty.

All of the Senate’s changes and expectations would apply to the service academies, where future generations of leaders are trained.

Buzzwords hide Ukraine’s meaning for U.S., EU Reading as widely on Ukraine as possible, I kept wondering why the story wasn’t making sense. Then I realized the buzzwords used to tell the story weren’t adding up.

Here’s what we hear: Democracy in action drove a corrupt leader, whose snipers had fired on protesters in Kiev, to flee Ukraine. Enter Russian forces into Crimea, Ukraine.

The “Free World” must now take its stand against the “Russian Bear” for freedom, sovereignty and rule of law, and reject the outcome of an “unconstitutional” referendum in which Russian-majority-Crimea is voted to join Russia. Meanwhile, please inject billions of Western taxpayer dollars and Euros into Ukraine.

Mute the rhetoric, though, and it’s hard not to notice that last month, a violent mob and rump parliament ousted the elected Ukrainian president in another “unconstitutional” process better known as a coup. It’s a coup even if Vladimir Putin calls it one, and even if Barack Obama

VIEWS Diana West calls it “standing up on behalf of democracy.”

In this way, “democracy,” too, becomes another buzzword. “Democracy,” good; “Putin,” maybe worse than Soviet-era dictators who came before him. (Romanian Communist defector Lt. Gen. Ion Pacepa went so far as to write online at The Blaze: “Russia’s gradual conquest of Ukraine has become the most dangerous challenge to peace and stability in the world since the end of World War II.”) If “democracy” vs. “Putin” is a struggle of the buzzwords, what is it that Washington and Brussels, capital of the European Union, are really supporting in Ukraine?

To understand this – and I feel I’m still at the beginning – it’s important to see the players for who they are,

not for who they are reputed to be.

The buzzworded story sticks only if we respond to injections of Cold War rhetoric by seeing Barack Obama as “Leader of the Free World” – not as a president who has brought U.S. foreign policy into closer alignment with jihadist movements worldwide, while further socializing the U.S. at home, and seizing non-constitutional powers for the executive branch.

We also have to regard the countries of Europe and NATO as “free” – that is, not “integrated,” and often not freely so (meaning not by national referendum), into the European Union’s one-world-fits-all, socialistic superstate, which is run by unelected, unaccountable ministers, many of whom actually cut their political teeth in Communist parties.

We also have to believe that “freedom,” “sovereignty” and “rule of law” – what Washington and Brussels say are at stake in Ukraine – are

See WEST, page 19

THE FIRST AMENDMENT Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

ity of bullet wounds suffered by opposition victims and police indicates the shooters were trying to stoke tensions on both sides and spark even greater violence with the goal of toppling Yanukovych.”

Estonia’s Paet continued, conveying his belief to the EU’s Ashton: “There is now stronger and stronger understanding that behind the snipers ... it was not Yanukovych but it was somebody from the new coalition.” In other words, some faction associated with the new government the U.S. and the EU are supporting. Estonia has since authenticated the call.

The cold-bloodedness of whatever party is behind such a bloody calculation is chilling, even as the question of responsibility has hot political ramifications. When it comes to spending billions to promote “European values” (another buzzword) – let alone “freedom,” “democracy” and “rule of law” – a nonpartial investigation into these events becomes essential. Buzzwords, meanwhile, are no substitute for the truth.

Sharia law requires converDangers of Islam and the Muslim Brotherhood sion from Islam or disrespectTo the Editor: The March 13 column “CPAC’s Muslim brotherhood problem” by Diana West pointed out problems with the Islamic Muslim Brotherhood and their stated intention to destroy us from within. Islam is not a religion of peace, and is dangerous to America. Most terrorist attacks are by followers of Islam. Many Christians are martyred by Muslims.

They attacked the New York towers on 9/11, killing 3,000 people. American-born Muslim army major Hasan, shouting “Allah Akbar,” shot 40 soldiers at Fort Hood, Texas. The Boston bombers were Muslims.

Omar Ahmad, co-founder of the Council of American Islamic Relations (CAIR), said “Islam isn’t in America to be equal to any other faith, but to become dominate. The Koran should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on earth.”

American Muslims favor establishment of world wide Islamic rule along with Sharia law, but most peacefully wait for it.

President Obama appointed Appeals Court judge, David Hamilton, who said lawmakers could invoke the name Allah but not Jesus or Christ. Obama appointed Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan who championed Sharia financing and teaching.

Obama gave taxpayer money to build mosques, celebrated Ramadan rather than the National Day of Pray, and allowed the radical Muslim Brotherhood to advise our Homeland Security Department. The FBI purged training materials that might offend Muslims, but HSD tags Christians and veterans as potential terrorists.

Hillary Clinton’s top aid Huma Abedia is deeply associated with the Muslim Brotherhood.

The Muslim Brotherhood is well on its way to destroying us from within.

not just bursts of propaganda shot off to inspire good people to hand over those billions of taxpayer dollars and Euros for Ukraine through the International Monetary Fund.

Weirdly little-known fact: The IMF is the post-World War II brainchild of one of Moscow’s most important and successful Communist agents ever, Harry Dexter White. For the matter, the United Nations was also fostered by another Soviet agent, Alger Hiss.

All of which is to say that there are more moving parts here than our limited stock of buzzwords indicates. More intensive scrutiny is surely needed – and before we pony up again. Since 1991, the U.S. alone has spent $5 billion on building democracy and good governance in Ukraine – and rampantly corrupt Ukraine still just had a coup.

Much remains murky, but one piece of the Ukraine story whose facts seem within reach concerns the coup’s precipitous event: the shocking sniper attacks on people in the square in Kiev, which reached a bloody crescendo on Feb. 20,

killing some 40 people out of the “heavenly hundred” who are believed to have died in all.

Who is responsible?

Initial reports blamed the security forces of ousted President Viktor Yanukovych. Now, according to The Associated Press, the new authorities in Ukraine “have shifted their focus” from the Yanukovych government to Vladimir Putin’s Russia – “pursuing the theory,” AP continues, “that the Kremlin was intent on sowing mayhem as a pretext for military incursion.” Meanwhile, Russia, the AP reports, believes “the snipers were organized by opposition leaders trying to whip up local and international outrage against the government.”

Russia’s argument is bolstered by an extraordinary “intercepted” phone conversation.

In the call, Estonian Foreign Minister Urmas Paet describes evidence from Olga Bogomolets, a noted Ukrainian physician-activist, to EU Foreign Minister Catherine Ashton. It suggests the same snipers were killing people from both sides – policemen and protesters alike.

The new government’s health minister, Oleh Musiy, said much the same thing to the AP, which adds “that the similar-

SPRING TRAINING: LOCKPORT SOFTBALL

Porters motivated after stunning 2013 sectional loss to eventual champ Minooka

By STEVE MILLAR Shaw Media Correspondent

• Thursday, March 20, 2014

LOCKPORT – The memories of how last season ended still linger in the minds of Lockport’s softball players.

The bitter taste hasn’t faded.

The Porters led eventual state champion Minooka 13-4 in the fourth inning of their semifinal game in the Class 4A Lincoln-Way East Sectional, only to see it slip away in a 15-14 loss.

Talk about motivation.

“We think about that game a lot,” senior Gabby Voulgaris said. “It makes us angry. I was the last out of that game. We were an out away from getting the slaughter rule against them, and then they won the whole thing.

“There are so many of us back from that team. It fires us all up.”

The Porters have their source of inspiration and they have a lofty goal that they’re not shy to talk about.

“We know it’s OK to put it out there,” Lockport coach Marissa Chovanec said. “We talked about how after our tryouts there were 108 days until the last day of the season.

We’d like to still be playing that day. We want to compete for a state championship.”

Chovanec has a roster loaded with talented seniors to try to make that happen.

Voulgaris, a corner infielder who has committed to Iowa State, hit four home runs and drove in 38 runs last season.

Outfielder Kelly Pattison, a Nebraska-Omaha signee, hit .391 and scored 30 runs. Catcher Sarah DeMasi hit .400.

Haylie and Jordan Arndt and Emma Carter are other key returnees.

There’s one major piece of last season’s puzzle that’s not back, though, as the Porters lost Carly Dundee to graduation. She batted.417 and hit six home runs last season and was Lockport’s top pitcher.

“We relied a lot on Carly,” Chovanec said. “She produced some huge runs for us and got

some big wins on the mound.

“I think we have quite a few players that can step up for us. They learned a lot from the seniors last year. They know there’s a big hole in our lineup with Carly gone and they’re anxious to step up and fill it.”

Seniors Kalyn Putman and Carter and sophomore Justine Cielenski will be counted on to fill the void on the mound.

The Porters are focused on improving in the areas that let them down last year.

“We know we have to practice defense,” Chovanec said.

“We have to work on our short game and executing so we can produce in scoring chances.

“We think about the game against Minooka and how it went and know we have to focus on the things we can control.”

The Porters hope they’ll have happy memories of the last game of the season this time around.

“We’re out for revenge,” Pattison said. “We don’t want what happened last year to happen again. That game’s always in the back of our minds.

“We knew from the first day of tryouts that we have a team capable of getting to state and that’s our goal. We won’t settle for anything less.” Lockport’s Kelly Pattison makes an over the shoulder catch at practice.

Greg Petty of Lewis University hits the ball Feb. 5 during a match against Loyola at Lewis University.

“This makes it easier for us to sell volleyball in the area for boys. We’re playing a high-level of volleyball in the midwest, which I think is fantastic.”

Dan Friend Lewis men’s volleyball coach

didn’t as well. And they kind of turned up some serving pressure, and ultimately I think that was the difference.”

The Flyers (14-5, 5-3) lost a 3-1 decision to Loyola when the squads met on Feb. 5 at Neil Carey Arena. Lewis also was ranked 10th heading into that contest while the Ramblers were second to UCLA, who they shared the top spot with one week earlier.

Other than that February clash between the pair in Romeoville, the other previous 54 top 10 matchups this season had involved at least one team from the west and 50 of the 55 were showdowns between two western squads.

Loyola has now won four in a row over Lewis to go up 2421 in the series between squads who have advanced to the NCAA’s Final Four in the past two years. The Ramblers beat the Flyers in last year’s MIVA championship to earn their first trip to the national finals.

Shane Davis, a standout for Loyola who’s now in his 11th season as coach at his alma mater, is pleased by what he’s seen thus far during what has been a special season on Chicago’s north side.

“We have a young group, but not in terms of their playing experience,” Davis said.

“A lot of these guys have been top players in club or on junior national and youth national teams. They have a lot of playing experience at a high level and they’re fun to coach.”

While Californians, such as Loyola’s Cody Caldwell (21 kills) and Lewis’ Geoff Powell (10 kills), were key performers Tuesday, several Chicago-area products also played well during the latest chapter of the rivalry.

BJ Boldog (33 assists) and Greg Petty (17 kills) were other Flyer leaders while Joe Smalzer (20 kills) and Thomas Jaeschke (13 kills) also stood out for the Ramblers.

“It’s obviously great to host an event such as the Final Four in a world-class city like Chicago,” Davis said. “The Chicagoland area is a hotbed of boys volleyball and the talent pool is growing and improving year after year. That allows us to keep kids in our own backyard while we also get west coast kids to create a great combination that allows us to be competitive with west coast teams.

“Dan has done a great job with his program being in the Final Four in 2012 and us following them in 2013 and giving us a little stamp of confidence.

It’s great playing against Dan’s team since we know each other very well, and there’s a lot of local kids on the two teams and that makes it a lot of fun, too.”

The Flyers coach is excited to see the Chicago-area’s two largest programs doing their part to boost enthusiasm for the sport throughout this part of the country.

“It was a great match with energy between two programs who are in the top 10 in the country,” Friend said. “Shane has done a great job with his program. This makes it easier for us to sell volleyball in the area for boys. We’re playing a high-level of volleyball in the midwest, which I think is fantastic.”

Chicago will be in the spotlight for followers of college men’s volleyball in early May because the NCAA championships will be at Loyola University’s Gentile Arena.

But the city took center stage in the sport Tuesday for a different reason, and the hope is that such an event happens more often in the future.

Lewis University and Loyola met in an historical match for not only the Chicago-area’s Division I/II programs, but for all of the members of the Midwestern Intercollegiate Volleyball Association.

For just the second time in the long history of that conference, the nation’s No. 1 squad and another MIVA team who was in the top 10 squared off.

The Ramblers have been the nation’s top-ranked team since Feb. 10. Loyola, which also tied for the top spot two weeks before that, had never even been ranked higher than fifth before this season.

In a sport that has been consistently dominated by western squads, especially from California, the fact that a midwestern team is on top is a big deal.

Only Lewis had ever held the nation’s No. 1 ranking during the middle of a season, and that happened for just two weeks back in 1999.

The previous matchup of midwestern top 10 teams, which featured a No. 1 squad, took place that year when the Flyers saw their brief reign atop the rankings end with a loss at Indiana-Purdue Fort Wayne.

No. 10 Lewis hoped to produce a similar upset Tuesday in Rogers Park when it jumped out to a quick lead and claimed a 25-22 win in the opening game.

But the Ramblers showed why they have won 17 of 18 matches this season, including 15 in a row, as they claimed 25-23, 25-19 and 25-19 decisions in the next three games to improve to 9-0 in MIVA play.

“We had a really good game plan to start off with and caught Loyola by surprise,” Lewis coach Dan Friend said.

“But they adjusted well, and we

White steps down as L-Way West coach USF junior honorable

The Herald-News / TheHerald-News.com • Thursday, March 20, 2014

By DICK GOSS dgoss@shawmedia.com NEW LENOX – Jon White proved something important as Lincoln-Way West’s boys basketball coach the past two seasons.

“Part of becoming a head coach was to prove to myself I belonged,” White, 31, said.

“I’m so proud, me and my staff, that we are leaving the program in better shape than we found it.”

Now it’s time to show his family how important they are.

White stepped down after this season to be the dad and husband he wants to be. He will continue teaching health education and physical education at West and may be an assistant at another area school.

“I am not done coaching,”

AREA ROUNDUP

he said. “I’m just not going to be a head coach until my son [Mason, who turns 2 next week] is in school.

“My wife [Jenny] teaches at JJC, so she has those college hours. It’s not fair to her if I’m a head coach, which is a year-round thing. So I’m stepping back. But I will be back.”

The Whites also have a daughter, Hannah, who is 9.

“As a head coach, I’m always away,” White said. “I’ll get home from school and Mason grabs my clipboard and says, ‘bye-bye.’ He thinks I’m leaving whenever he sees it.”

White already has gotten a couple of offers to be an assistant, both inside and outside the Lincoln-Way district. The certainty is he will not coach at West to be fair to players and coaches returning, although he said the new coach

will have his full support.

West won three games in White’s first season and improved to 12-14 this season, including 7-7 and a fourthplace finish in the SouthWest Suburban Red. The Warriors entered the Class 3A Plano Regional as the No. 1 seed but lost to Joliet Catholic, 70-51, in the semifinals.

“The kids who will be back have a great work ethic, and there’s a lot of younger talent in the program,” White said.

“Whoever takes over will have talent to work with.”

Point guard Marco Pettinato started all games as a freshman. Jon and Anthony Marotta will return, along with Max Petrungaro. The sophomore team finished in the first division of the conference with four freshman starters.

BLACKHAWKS 4, BLUES 0

Hawks shut out Blues behind Crawford

By MATT CARLSON The Associated Press CHICAGO – Corey Crawford stopped 23 shots for his second shutout this season to backstop the Blackhawks to a physical 4-0 victory over the St. Louis Blues on Wednesday night that gave the Hawks coach Joel Quenneville his 700th NHL win.

Duncan Keith, Andrew Shaw, Marcus Kruger and Ben Smith scored as the Hawks ended the league-leading Blues’ nine-game point

streak (8-0-1) and dealt St. Louis its first regulation loss against a Central Division opponent this season. The Blues entered 20-0-2 against division foes and hadn’t lost in regulation since a 1-0 defeat at Anaheim on Feb. 28.

Quenneville, who previously guided St. Louis and Colorado, has the most wins of any active NHL coach and ranks third all-time behind Al Arbour and Scotty Bowman, now the Blackawks’ senior adviser of hockey operations.

mention All-American STAFF REPORTS JOLIET – University of St. Francis junior forward Katie Gonnering has been named as an honorable mention selection to the 2014 Women’s Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) NAIA All-America team.

A repeat selection, Gonnering ranked among the NAIA Division II statistical leaders in offensive rebounding (3rd, 4.7), scoring (7th, 20.9), field goal percentage (11th, .553) and total rebounding (14th, 10.1) during the regular season.

An All-CCAC first-team pick, she led the league in field goal percentage and was the conference’s second-leading scorer and third-most prolific rebounder.

Last month, Gonnering was named to the Capital One College Division Academic All-America team for the second straight year.

A nursing major carrying a 3.9 grade-point average, she became one of only three players in the NAIA this year to earn selection to both the WBCA All-America and Capital One Academic All-America teams.

PHILADELPHIA – The 76ers are freefalling toward NBA history.

D.J Augustin scored 20 points and Taj Gibson had 19 points and 13 rebounds to lead the Bulls to a 102-94 win over Philadelphia on Wednesday night, handing the 76ers their 22nd straight loss.

The Sixers are four losses shy of matching the NBA record for the longest single-season losing streak. The Cleveland Cavaliers set the record of 26 consecutive losses in the 2010-11 season.

Unlike most of the first 21 losses in the streak, the Sixers were competitive until the final possessions, never letting the Bulls lead by more than 11.

Sixers center Byron Mullens, who hadn’t attempted a shot all game, hit consecutive 3s to pull the Sixers to 83-80.

He made a nifty save on a ball headed out of bounds, leading to Henry Sims’ bucket and a foul. With a chance to tie the game, Sims missed the free throw with 8:19 left.

Joakim Noah buried a goahead 3 from the top of the arc and Augustin followed with one from the sideline to put the Bulls up 91-85.

SPREADING LOVE AND CONCERN Joliet orthodontist organizes several mission trips to Tanzania

By DENISE M. BARAN–UNLAND

More information

dunland@shawmedia.com OLIET – A zeal for mission work sneaked up on Joliet orthodontist Dr. Clarence J. Red, who had never imagined himself the leader of a mission team to Tanzania.

This is what happened: An Ohio colleague was planning a dental mission trip to Tanzania. When she told Red, he impulsively and offhandedly said, “If there’s anything I can do to help …,” assuming he’d be writing a check.

To Red’s surprise, the colleague responded, “You can help me treat patients.”

So Red went and extracted teeth and applied fillings in a “dental clinic” inside the partly built Gold Land Hotel.

That was in 2007. Red didn’t seriously consider returning until his daughter, Summer Red, as part of her confirmation project at First Presbyterian Church in Joliet, created a poster and presentation based on Red’s experiences.

That led to a request from the church, Clarence Red said, to form a mission team. For the Feb. 20 to March 3 mission trip, the team consisted of seven people from the church, two from a local gym and three people from California: Red’s parents, Clarence Red II and Una Red, along with and one of their friends.

“The amazing thing about my dad [age 75] is that he worked so hard every day – painting and hauling bricks – that the people were shocked.

He had so much energy,” Clarence Red said. “The death rate over there is about 58.12, so it was interesting. He worked from eight o’clock in the morning until six at night. I think he outworked all of us.”

In addition to performing dental service, some of the missionaries painted several new buildings for Angel House Orphanage and built a new kitchen, (as well as two

First Presbyterian church is working on a new project that will help Angel House Orphanage and Secondary School have access to satellite enabled WiFi, said Joliet orthodontist, Dr. Clarence Red III. Once the school has WiFi, a donor will provide a computer lab. The church also is sponsoring three orphans to allow the school to accept more children.

Up until that point, the kitchen consisted of an outdoor camp stove. This provided lunch for 300 children each day – residents and local children that attended the orphanage school – and breakfast and dinner for 67 residents.

“We had a girl that lifted so much brick every day, the African men kept testing her by weighing her down with more and more bricks,” Red said, “but she outlasted them all.

She grew up as a farm girl, so she was used to hard work.”

The work, Red said, was the easy part; the eight-hour bus ride on bumpy dirt and gravel roads to the Gold Land Hotel, now complete and where the missionaries would stay, was the hardest. Red called the hotel accommodations “decent.”

“Half the rooms had hot water half the time and the power did go out frequently,”

Red said. “But it was much better that what most people living there had.”

On that bus with the missionaries were food and water, 40 crates of dental gear, donated supplies, blankets, towels and 50 soccer balls.

Two of the missionaries donated the balls to a second school, one where the soccer balls were rolled up grocery bags fastened with rubber bands, Red said.

“We see the church as the servant-body of Christ on earth,” Red said. “We are to be his eyes, feet and hands in a world. It is our hope that we can spread the word of Christianity, as well as show our love, concern and commitment for all people.”

The children at Angel House Orphanage were so hungry for meaningful interaction that, in an “unnerving” manner, they “mobbed” the missionaries as they exited the bus by hugging every person and grabbing them to show off the school, Red said.

“One guy got two hugs from two kids at the same time,” Red said. “Some of the kids jumped onto the bus and said they were leaving.”

Many of the children had actually lost their parents.

Others had been removed from their homes by local authorities, Red said.

One was a boy whose parents had disciplined him by dunking a hand into boiling oil. Two girls had a mother who was disabled who was pregnant as a result of rape.

The fear was that the same might happen to the girls, Red said.

“Those kids need as much love and affection as they can get,” Red said.

The dental clinic was actually a large open classroom with lawn furniture for dental chairs. Red set up three portable generators and began evaluating the patients, all 900 of them over the course of the missionaries’ stay, as they arrived.

They treated all but 200

patients, Red said, either because they did not require it (the orphans had the best dental health as they receive preventative care every two years) or because their problems lay beyond the missionaries’ capabilities.

One young man, Red said, had a “draining” granulated jaw tumor. Red removed some of the growth tumor to reduce the pressure inside the man’s mouth. Unfortunately, Red added, what the patient really needed was in-hospital surgery, which the man could not obtain.

“He probably won’t make it another five years,” Red said.

As Red eagerly awaits his next missionary trip, and the outpouring of support that accompanies each one inspires him, he must now decide to either return as part of his colleague’s dental team or his church’s general missionary team. He can’t afford both.

“I like the idea of doing the dental work. That’s a skill I have,” Red said. “But when I’m doing the dental work, I miss out on the interaction with the kids. ... Even something as simple as holding the hand and playing with the orphans and school children can make a profound difference in those children’s lives.”

SHOREWOOD – On Feb.19, Holy Family fifth-graders and fifth-graders from three other diocesan schools attended Cathedral Days at the Cathedral of St. Raymond in Joliet.

In a two-hour presentation, Rev. Thomas Paul, pastor of Immaculate Conception Parish in Elmhurst, who began the Cathedral Days tradition 23 years ago, shared facts about the five diocesan Bishops and the history of the Joliet Diocese from 1948 until today.

The students and chaperones also learned about relics, saints, the bishop’s chair, how the church was built, where the marble originated and the reason that St. Raymond is called “St. Raymond the Unborn” and why he had holes in his lips.

When the children were later tested on what they learned, the relics in the altar and the

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

• Thursday, March 20, 2014

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Ernie Harwell, who called the play-by-play for the Detroit Tigers for 42 years, said, “Everybody in the minor leagues – if you’re a player, an announcer, whatever – wants to be in the big leagues.”

At the bridge table, when we see a long minor suit, we probably wish it were a major suit. The game revolves around majors and no-trump, not minors. However, when we have a long minor, we must make the best pitch we can.

In yesterday’s deal, opener started with one no-trump and responder had a weak hand with a long major. He bailed out of no-trump into his long suit via a transfer bid.

Today, the responder has a long minor. What should he do?

I believe everyone should use transfers into the majors, but only take up transfers into the minors with regular partners.

(If you would like to learn about these transfers, go to my web site: phillipalderbridge.com.)

If you do not use minor-suit transfers, the best way to sign off in a minor is by immediately jumping to three of your long suit, which must contain at least six cards – as in today’s deal.

If you use minor-suit transfers, follow your partnership methods.

And note that one no-trump ought to fail.

How should South plan the play in three diamonds after West leads the heart jack?

Declarer starts with two losers in the majors and at least one trump loser. His basic plan should be to lead trumps toward his hand, up to his honors, and to take club finesses when in his hand. Here, he will lose one spade, one heart and two diamonds to make his contract.

Mom seeks guidance on legal marijuana Dear Abby: Due to various anti-drug lectures he was exposed to at school, my 13-year-old son believes that marijuana is not only illegal, but also is very bad for you. He said it is poison.

My state has recently legalized marijuana and I am at a loss about how to explain to him that pot is no longer “that bad,” as people partake of it in a responsible manner going forward. Any suggestions? – Colorado Mom Dear Mom: Marijuana isn’t poison, unless it was sprayed with a poisonous chemical before being harvested. The marijuana being sold to adults in the states where it is now legal has been carefully cultivated and harvested. Its use is not encouraged among teenagers, however, because research has shown it can impair brain development among young people.

Stress to your son that like alcohol, marijuana can slow reaction time and impair judgment and memory, which is why it’s illegal for minors to use it. Whether it will become legal across the

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips nation is still an open question.

Dear Abby: I moved into my boyfriend’s home several months ago. In the beginning, he was very attentive and we had fun together.

But over the last couple of months, he has become abusive and unbearable to live with. He orders me around and double-checks to make sure I’m doing things “his way.”

I feel as though there isn’t room to breathe and no way out. I have lost weight, and I’m having trouble sleeping now. I have no family or friends who can help me out. I want to end this misery! But how? – Miserable In Florida Dear Miserable: Pick up the phone and call the National Domestic Violence Hotline (800-7997233). Although your boyfriend’s controlling behavior hasn’t yet escalated to physical abuse, it very

well could. The counselors at the hotline can help you to formulate a plan so you can safely get away.

Please don’t wait to make the call.

Dear Abby: We live in a small town. My husband is friendly and outgoing and seems to know everyone. Meals out that should be quiet affairs turn into social situations I do not want to be part of.

I have wracked my brain as to a polite response to people when they say, “Join us!” I don’t WANT to join them. How do we politely decline their friendly offer? – “Not Tonight” In North Carolina Dear “Not Tonight”: A polite way to refuse would be to say, “We’d love to do that another time, but it has been a long day and we just want to sit and be quiet.”

It wouldn’t be considered rude unless you say it often.

If these people are friends, they should understand because not everyone is up for company all the time.

Various causes for changes in urination Dear Doctor K: I am a 52-year-old man. When I finish urinating, I drip much more then I used to.

And I have a stinging sensation in my urethra. What could cause this?

Dear Reader: What you’re experiencing is a very common complaint. As we age, several things happen. One is some enlargement of the prostate gland.

This is called benign prostatic hyperplasia, or BPH. Your doctor can perform a digital rectal exam to assess the size and texture of your prostate gland. As the prostate gland increases in size, the bladder (which stores urine) has to exert more pressure to get rid of the last drops of urine. When that happens, some of that pressure gets placed on the part of the bladder called the bladder neck.

This muscular portion of the bladder can contract, leading to the stinging sensation you mention. Particularly if the stinging sensation is located at the very tip of your penis, bladder neck pressure is the most likely cause.

If this is the case, your doctor can prescribe medication to relax smooth muscle in the bladder neck.

If your prostate is enlarged, your doctor can also suggest

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff lifestyle changes that may help to control your symptoms. For example, avoid drinking caffeinated and alcoholic beverages in the evening. Both can affect the muscle tone of the bladder and stimulate the kidneys to produce urine. If necessary, medications and surgical options are also available.

Stinging sensations can also result from an infection in the bladder (a urinary tract infection, or UTI) or in the prostate gland (prostatitis). Antibiotics can treat both types of infection.

Other symptoms are common when you have a bladder infection. These include suddenly having to urinate a lot more often than usual. They also include feeling like you can’t hold it when the urge comes on. When a bladder infection spreads to the kidneys, it can cause pain in the back.

An infection of the prostate is more likely if you also have an aching sensation in your groin.

Fevers, shaking chills, nausea or vomiting are also signs of an

infection. If you have these symptoms, you should contact your doctor promptly.

Another possibility is a sexually transmitted disease (STD).

An STD usually produces a milky or whitish penile discharge in addition to the symptoms you mentioned. Your doctor can take a urine sample or a sample of the discharge to test for a UTI, prostatitis or an STD. Prolonged dripping may also be a symptom of an overactive bladder. This is a common condition in older men. An overactive bladder may cause occasional, uncontrollable loss of urine. A person may frequently urinate small amounts yet still feel a great urge to urinate. Several exercises can help with an overactive bladder. Effective medicines also are available.

Quite often, doctors don’t find a specific reason for the types of symptoms you have. And initial treatment might not help. This can be frustrating, but keep working with your doctor. It’s likely you will get some relief.

Teen fearful of making same mistakes again Dr. Wallace: I am 17 and my problem is a guy – what else is new?

My boyfriend and I have been dating on and off for over three years, but it seems like we always break up over some argument that I start. The last time we broke up it was about him smiling at other girls while he was out with me.

He still took me to the senior prom, so he must have still liked me. I had fun, but we fought over small stuff. Then he went off to college, and I’m a senior in high school. I can now see that it was my fault that we had all these problems, but I also realize that I really do love him.

I wrote several letters to him at college, but he didn’t answer any of them. Then one day he was in town and called me and we had lunch at a local restaurant. He asked me not to contact him again because he had no feelings for me and would not be seeing me again. He also told me he was dating a college girl and was very happy.

Dr. Wallace, I kind of think he still cares for me. My birthday party is coming up and I’d like to invite him, but I thought I should ask you for your opinion before I do. – Connie, Birmingham, Ala. Dear Connie: The party’s over with this guy. Find someone else to be your boyfriend, and if you want to keep the new guy around for a while, don’t make the same mistakes that you made with your college boy.

Dr. Wallace: My mom is a chain smoker. She smokes like a chimney – 2 or 3 packs

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace of cigarettes a day. She sometimes even has forgotten that she had a lit one in the ashtray and then lights up another one. Besides smoking and filling the air with smoke, she is always turning up the heat because she says she feels cold. My dad and I are wondering if there might be some connection between feeling cold all the time and smoking? Can you tell us? – Tyler, Jackson, Miss.

Dear Tyler: According to the American Cancer Society’s brochure, “Kicking the Habit,” a human body has 96,000 miles of blood vessels, which constrict with every puff of a cigarette, restricting a fresh supply of life-sustaining oxygenated blood from reaching the organs.

This is why smokers frequently complain of being cold, especially in their hands and feet. Their extremities are not receiving sufficient oxygen. Smoking also lowers the skin temperature.

I’d recommend that you get Mom a copy of this free brochure.

Call the nearest American Cancer Society office for details. The number is in the White Pages of your telephone directory.

HOROSCOPE

By BERNICE BEDE OSOL Newspaper Enterprise Association

By DANA BARBUTO The Patriot Ledger Before our poison pens even get to write the words “unnecessary sequel,” the filmmakers behind “Muppets Most Wanted” steal the wind from the critics’ sails and do it for us with the opening song, “We’re Doing a Sequel.” It’s a thumb-tothe-nose number suggesting Disney wanted another pay day. “All we need now is a half-decent plot,” and “How about the Muppets go on a world tour?” – sing Kermit, Fozzie, Gonzo and Miss Piggy.

James Bobin, who directed the 2011 smash “The Muppets,” is back behind the camera working from a script he co-wrote with Nicholas Stoller. They deliver more giggles, groans, pratfalls and mild rude humor (a city called “Poop-enburg”) for the pint-sized set. And there’s enough nostalgia and self-referential fun hanging around to amuse adults who grew up watching the Muppets on TV. It’s all enhanced by peppy musical numbers and puns.

Humans, played by Ricky Gervais, Tina Fey, Ty Burrell and a dozen or so celebrity cameos (Rob Corddry, Christoph Waltz doing a waltz and Usher being an usher) mix it up with the Muppets. What’s missing is Jason Segel (“I Love You, Man”), who co-wrote and starred in “The Muppets” with five-time Oscar-nominee Amy Adams (“American Hustle”). They were the movie’s emotional center, making it better than it had a right. The sequel doesn’t have the same spark or

‘Muppets Most Wanted’ movie a worthy – but not great – sequel

“Muppets Most Wanted,” directed and co-written by James Bobin, is the sequel to the 2011 film “The Muppets.” whimsy, just recycling.

The Muppets head to Europe on a world tour, a la “Cars 2,” with stops in Berlin, Madrid, Dublin and London. They get double-crossed by Gervais’s fast-talking agent Dominic Bad Guy, pronounced “Badgee. It’s French,” he says in a British accent, promising the felt-covered bunch, fame, fortune and sold-out theaters.

In a case of mistaken identity, Kermit – who looks exactly like “the world’s most dangerous frog,” Constantine, ends up serving time in a Russian gulag run by Nadya (Fey, hamming it up in a severe Soviet-style overcoat.)

With a heavy Eastern European accent that sounds like

Teddy KGB in “Rounders,” Constantine covers up the mole on his snout and passes himself off as Kermit. None of the Muppets, even the lovelorn Piggy, who knows her Kermie best, question anything until Walter, the newest Muppet introduced in the last film, grows suspicious of the frog’s uncharacteristic behavior. Kermit would never let Gonzo stage an indoor running of the bulls or have Piggy perform five Celine Dion songs.

Kermit is separated from the rest of the crew for most of the movie, but his BFFs in jail – Ray Liotta, Danny Trejo, Jermaine Clement – make the prison scenes a riot with big numbers like “The

Casa Grande” and “The Big House.” Elsewhere, Burrell plays goofy Interpol agent Jean Pierre Napoleon, who is merely a version of his “Modern Family” character.

He’s paired with Sam the Eagle as a CIA operative. The sight gag of the pair stuffed into a teeny Interpol car is played for a few laughs to the delight of the small fries.

The movie is preceded by an amusing Pixar short called “Party Central” featuring the gang from “Monsters University.”

• “Muppets Most Wanted” is rated PG for some mild action. The cast includes Ricky Gervais, Tina Fey and Ty Burrell. Grade: B.
