Kyle Petty to kick off NASCAR Chase weekend

BY BILL WIMBISCUS bwimbiscus@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Driver Kyle Petty will help kick off NASCAR’s Chase weekend at Chicagoland Speedway at the annual Race Fan Rally on Sept. 11.

“Race Fan Rally takes our race from being just a race to an event,” event coordinator Mike Guglielmucci said at a press event Thursday at the Joliet Historical Museum. “It just makes it a fun weekend to have a kickoff party like this.”

The rally precedes NASCAR’s Camping World Truck Series on Sept. 12, the Nationwide Series on Sept. 13 and the Sprint Cup Series on Sept. 14 at Chicagoland Speedway.

Petty’s is the first of several driver appearances that will be announced in the coming months, Guglielmucci said.

The rally, now in its 14th year, draws more than 25,000 fans, and is one of the few

events that draws the popular NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Haulers parade, Guglielmucci said.

Joliet’s big fan base is one reason the NASCAR haulers made the parade commitment, Guglielmucci said.

“Our fans are passionate and they support events like this,” Guglielmucci said.

The downtown event also will include entertainment, custom cars, simulators, live music, hot food, cold drinks and a KidZone area for the children. The rock band 7th Heaven will perform. The event will run from 4 to 10 p.m. along Chicago Street between Jefferson and Cass streets.

Joliet-based NASCAR Car Wash will sponsor this year’s event.

“We’re really proud to partner with local business,” said Larry Ross, a partner with NASCAR Car Wash. “This is beyond cool. Our company has really strong roots in Joliet.”

“It’s going to be a great partnership,” said Guglielmucci, who has emceed the rally for the past 14 years. “They’re as excited about taking part in it as we are.”

For information on Race Fan Rally, go to www.racefanrally.com.

In addition to the NASCAR event, Joliet also will host Nitro Night on June 26, in conjunction with the O’Reilly Auto Parts Route 66 NHRA Nationals at Route 66 Raceway, for drag racing fans.

The event will feature an appearance by three-time NHRA champion Larry Dixon, as well as golf cart drag races, Guglielmucci said.

The idea for an NHRA fan event came from Mayor Tom Giarrante, Guglielmucci said.

“He asked me to do this two years ago.”

Giarrante, for his part, admitted he “used to do a little drag racing years ago” in Oswego in his 1962 Chevy.

Consultants ready to revitalize downtown Joliet

By BILL WIMBISCUS bwimbiscus@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The city’s new downtown consultants are ready to bring Chicago Street back to life and make the downtown the center of the community.

“You’ve had extensive planning activities over decades in the downtown and it’s time to make things happen,” Leslie Pollock, principal consultant for Camiros Consultant Group, a Chicago-based planning and design firm, told the Joliet City Council on Tuesday. “We’re focused on making things happen. We’re not just focused on creating a plan.”

Pollock said key challenges include reinventing Chicago Street, energizing street life, repurposing major buildings, incubating small business, en-

couraging residential development and building on already established destinations.

“We’re not starting over, we’re building on what you have,” Pollock said.

The council approved hiring Camiros for $125,000, using $75,000 in Downtown TIF funds and a $50,000 contribution from City Center Partnership, to develop its Joliet City Center Master Plan.

Camiros hopes to have an action plan in place within nine months that will create “a buzz or momentum to get people to invest,” Pollock said.

“It’s very important that we get people behind this and create interest.”

Councilman John Gerl challenged Camiros and city staff to stay on task during the process.

“I think the last thing we

need is a plan that sits on the shelf,” Gerl said. “Chicago Street could be like the LaSalle Street of Chicago if we do this thing right and bring life back to the city of Joliet.”

City Manager Jim Hock said city staff will form a team that will be held accountable to see that the plan is implemented.

Camiros was selected from 13 companies nationwide that responded to a request for proposal on the project, said Pam Owens, executive director of Joliet City Center Partnership.

The list was narrowed to six firms that made public presentations in January to a team of Joliet business and government representatives.

“Camiros was unanimously our top choice,” Owens said.

“They are without a doubt a perfect fit for this project.”

It’s been a long, hard winter and its traces are still to be found

By BILL WIMBISCUS bwimbiscus@shawmedia.com

• Friday, March 21, 2014

JOLIET – The harbingers of spring are everywhere.

It hasn’t snowed for, like, hours. Bare patches of brown grass are clearly visible. Mud is beginning to form atop the rock hard ground. No robins yet, but I did see a bird on the lawn the other day. Dead, probably frozen to death.

Spring, technically, is here. It arrived at 11:57 a.m.

Thursday with the arrival of the vernal equinox. Starting today, the days will grow longer, the nights shorter.

Ah, spring.

Getting here was not easy.

We just slogged through one of the harshest winters on record.

“We haven’t seen anything like this in the Joliet area for a long time,” said Jeremy Hylka, director of the Joliet Weather Center. “For so long, we have had above-average mild winters. Countless people are just waiting for spring to arrive.”

The phenomenon of heavy snows followed by cold, Arctic air has been a regular pattern in a winter that has produced: • 75.2 inches of snow, according to the National Weather Service in Romeoville. That’s the third most on record, behind 85 inches in 1978-79 and 81 inches in 1977-78.

• 33 days below days below zero, according to the National Weather Service.

• 20.8 degree average temperature statewide in December, January and February. That’s 8.2 degrees below average and the fourth coldest on record, according to the State Climatologist Office for Illinois.

• Nearly 17,000 tons of road salt have been dumped on Joliet streets this winter, compared to 11,000 or 12,000 tons in a normal year, according to Public Works Director Jim Trizna. The demand has mostly emptied the city’s four salt domes, he said.

FEELING LIKE SPRING YET?

Lathan Goumas – lgoumas@shawmedia.com

A pair of mallard ducks are seen Tuesday at Rock Run County Forest Preserve.

• Up to three feet of frost penetration into the soil, according to Manhattan farmer Dave Kestel, compared to maybe a foot and a half in a normal year.

The last possible frost day is May 6, according to the Old Farmer’s Almanac.

Old Farmer’s, by the way, is forecasting rain and wet snow off and on through the weekend, followed by more rain through the end of the month, followed by the usual April showers. The good news: the forecast for April 18 to 20 calls for “sunny, turning warm.”

You may want to take that with a grain of salt, however.

Old Farmer’s also forecasts that our winter would be “slightly milder than normal, with near-normal precipitation and below-normal snowfall in most of the region.”

And while it doesn’t

appear that flowers will be popping up anytime soon, rest assured that other spring portents will, namely trash bags and potholes.

Yard waste collection in Joliet, a sure sign of warmer weather, begins March 31.

Pothole season already is underway, with city crews busy putting down cold patch, especially in high-traffic areas like Black Road.

“It’s been a pretty bad winter for potholes,” said Mike Eulitz, roadways engineer for Joliet. “Nature is wonderful.”

The lingering cold also is playing havoc on baseball fields, which have to thaw and dry out before they can be used.

Silver Cross Field is home to both the Joliet Slammers, whose season starts May 16, and the University of St. Francis Fighting Saints, whose season already is

A sign of spring ...

JOLIET – One sure sign of spring in town is the opening of the local ice cream shops.

While it’s still a bit early for some venues, Dairy Queen on Jefferson Street is busy serving customers. The once-seasonal business now stays open year-round.

Business picks up with the temperatures, noted

underway.

USF has missed two home games because the field is still too wet, said Chris Franklin, general manager of the Joliet Slammers. A Saturday doubleheader and Sunday game still are in

manager Yadira Gonzalez.

The big seller –ironically though perhaps not unexpectedly – is DQ’s iconic Blizzards, soft serve blended with sundae toppings, cookies, brownies and/or candy.

“It’s Blizzards all the time,” Gonzalez said.

“Even in the middle of winter.”

– Bill Wimbiscus doubt because of field conditions, he said.

“It freezes at night and dries out during the day,” Franklin said. “We need sun and we need wind. It takes time for Mother Nature to run her course.”

Peterson’s pension rights questioned

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com BOLINGBROOK – Drew Peterson doesn’t think being convicted of killing his third wife is a reason to strip him of his $6,000-a-month police pension.

But the Bolingbrook Police Pension Board unanimously agreed Thursday to hold a hearing that could do just that.

Peterson’s attorney, Stephen Greenberg, argued to the board that his client, now in prison but appealing his murder conviction, should not lose his pension.

“I did not discuss today’s

hearing with him, but Drew and I have talked about the pension board’s plans in general,” Greenberg said. “He feels [the conviction] was ‘totally unrelated’ to his duty as a police officer.”

Peterson was an officer in the Bolingbrook Police Department.

Greenberg told the board Drew before its vote Peterson, that nothing in Bolingbrook the indictment against Peterson alleges he committed his crimes while on duty and suggested waiting

until the criminal appeal is resolved.

The board voted to move forward with the hearing on Peterson’s pension. But the hearing is not expected to take place before July, giving time for attorneys on both sides to prepare their cases.

Last year, the five-member board questioned whether Peterson’s conviction terminated his pension rights by committing a “job-related felony,” board attorney Richard Reimer said. The board hired Charles Atwell, a lawyer who specializes in pension funds, to review transcripts and evidence from Peterson’s trial.

Accused killer to get pre-trial evaluation Hearing comes one year after Parker’s death

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The man accused of killing his mother and tossing her body in the Des Plaines River last year will face another mental evaluation.

Defense lawyers for Charles “C.J.” McCullum told Judge Carla Alessio-Policandriotes on Thursday they will seek another expert to review whether the 22-year-old man is fit to stand trial.

McCullum already was found fit during a previous hearing, according to prosecutors. A defendant who is able to understand he is facing charges in court and work with his attorneys would be considered fit.

McCullum also will likely face a sanity hearing to determine whether he understood his actions when his mother was killed. Prosecutors said those psychiatric evaluations will be part of the trial process.

McCullum’s court appearance Thursday came on the first anniversary of Jeanie Parker’s slaying. Police say that McCullum and Parker, 54, argued in their Fifth Avenue home

that night. Authorities have said McCullum choked his mother until she passed out, left the house, brought back a knife and stabbed her – causing the knife to bend in the body.

McCullum then allegedly got a second knife to stab her again and returned with a baseball bat which he used to hammer on the knife until the handle broke. He then drove his mother’s car to Bluff Park where he dumped her body into the Des Plaines River, an assistant state’s attorney said last year.

A crime scene investigator from the state police Thursday gave the judge computer discs and a 3-inch thick folder of reports on “blood splatter patterns” that had been subpoenaed by prosecutors.

Parker’s body surfaced three weeks after she disappeared, by which point her son had been charged with murder, aggravated battery and concealing a homicide. He is being held in the county jail on $5 million bond.

Several relatives attended Thursday’s court proceedings but declined to comment. McCullum’s next court appearance is scheduled for April 29.

In January, Reimer and board members received a one-page report from Atwell saying there are sufficient grounds for cutting Peterson’s pension.

Peterson’s fourth wife, Stacy, vanished in October 2007.

Peterson, 60, retired after 39 years on the department the following month when he was identified as the main suspect in her disappearance. He has received $6,000 each month since his retirement.

Stacy’s disappearance prompted state police to re-examine the March 2004 death of Kathleen Savio, Peterson’s third wife. Peterson was convicted of her murder in Sep-

tember 2012 and is serving a 29-year sentence in the Menard Correctional Center.

Reimer acknowledged not all felony convictions result in retired police officer losing pensions.

He also said the pension board has not seen the material that prompted Atwell’s recommendation. “That was done intentionally [because] the board members will make their decision based on what’s presented at the hearing,” Reimer said.

Peterson has the right to attend the hearing, but will likely appear via teleconference from prison, Reimer said.

Romeoville last in gov’t transparency Illinois Policy Institute gives high grade to Plainfield

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com Two local municipalities ranked on opposite ends of a government transparency test by the Illinois Policy Institute.

Romeoville village government ranked last in the study that used a 10-point checklist to measure the transparency of municipal websites. Romeoville’s score was 26 percent.

The village of Plainfield finished among the highest ranked websites, receiving a B grade of 80.8 percent.

The Illinois Policy Institute is a nonprofit research organization that has a stated goal of making Illinois the top state for economic outlook and job creation.

The study completed audits on the websites of the 26th to 50th most populated municipalities in the state. Romeoville and Plainfield are the 44th and 45th most populated, respectively.

“The state of Illinois has a big corruption problem,” said Brian Costin, the director of government reform for the Illinois Policy Institute. “And Illinois has the most local governments by a wide margin.

That’s why local transparency is so important for the citizens.”

The study assigned 10 percentage points to each item on the institute’s transparency checklist, which includes information on how to contact officials, meeting information, public records and Freedom of Information Act information, five years of budgets, five years of financial audits, expenditures, employee com-

pensation, contracts, lobbying information and taxes and fees.

The 25 municipalities were audited three weeks ago and contacted with the initial results. The institute asked each municipality if it found anything wrong with the score, and were provided an opportunity to increase the score before March 14.

Plainfield was initially sent a score of 54.6. Since then, the village added enough information to its website to increase the score to a passing grade and be eligible for the institute’s sunshine award.

“We were certainly striving to add information to our website and make it easy to find,” Community Relations Director Amy De Boni said, adding that the village created a transparency page on its website, broke down the sales tax rate for residents and made the treasurer’s report easier to find.

Romeoville had an initial score of 24.6, according to Costin. Romeoville added some information, but not enough to break out of the bottom of the study. The village did not immediately respond Thursday to requests for comment. “[Romeoville] did OK in FOIA requirements and had one year of budgets and a couple of audits,” Costin said, adding that a key barrier in transparency was the lack of contact information for elected officials. “A lot of what they need to do is relatively easy stuff, just putting stuff online.

But it’s just about starting that process. Hopefully, Romeoville will start embracing the 10-point checklist.”

By JEANNE MILLSAP Shaw Media Correspondent CHANNAHON – Channahon Village Administrator Joe Pena will retire next month.

Pena said he wants to spend time with his family. His letter of intent to retire was approved Monday by the Channahon Village Board. The retirement is effective April 30.

Pena was hired as Channahon police chief seven years ago. Channahon officials became acquainted with Pena as he did an assessment of the village’s police department through the Illinois Association

of Chiefs of Police.

“I became enamored with both the department and with Channahon,” Pena said in an interview Wednesday.

He withdrew from the assess- Joe Pena ment process and applied for the position of chief. In 2011, he was appointed dual police chief/village administrator. In January 2012, the board promoted Pena to full-time administrator. Jeff Wold was named the new police chief at the same

time.

“I have been involved in municipal work now for just over 40 years and feel the time has come to step away and let the younger generation assume control,” Pena wrote in his letter of resignation.

Pena also said the staff at the village and police department is one of the best he has ever worked with.

Trustees are planning a study session for next week to discuss the next step in replacing Pena.

“We want to sit down and do some brainstorming and see what direction we want to go,” Trustee Sam Greco said later this week.

Greco said one consideration will be whether to seek an interim administrator or fill it permanently. In Channahon, the mayor appoints the village administrator, and Mayor Joe Cook’s term expires in April 2015, so an interim administrator is a possibility until it’s known who will be mayor next year.

“I really hate to see Joe go,” Greco added, “because he’s been a friend, and he has been good for the village. I think Joe’s done a tremendous job coming over from police chief and becoming village manager.

He’s done that very well.”

The village board this week

also approved two measures designed for future business development at the interchange for Interstate 80 and Brisbin Road. The engineering firm Strand Associates was hired as the primary consultant for an infrastructure study on where water wells and water treatment plants may be needed. The study will not exceed $75,000, with the village paying 25 percent, Minooka paying 25 percent, and the remaining half being paid for by a U.S. Department of Commerce grant.

“The potential for growth has been increased by that development,” Pena said after the meeting, “and we want to know how much investment we need to make there.”

The same grant also will pay half the cost of a business analysis to be performed by Northern Illinois University’s Center for Governmental Studies. The analysis will be used to target opportunities for business retention and development. Channahon and Minooka will work together on theproject, paying 25 percent each for the center’s fee of $19,800.

The project will begin immediately with a report scheduled for July 31.

The board also authorized a payment of $5,280 to ACE Plumbing and Sewer for service on 28 frozen water lines throughout the village this winter. Most were residences.

Republican Caucus Chair Jim Moustis, R-Frankfort, said just as liquor stores, home businesses and firearms salespeople are required to obtain special-use permits from the county to do business, medical marijuana dispensaries should, too.

“And now, you’re suggesting to put no rules on cannabis being sold? I disagree,” Moustis said. “Every site could potentially be different. And I do think we should have the ability to weigh in and understand that one size does not fit all here.

There needs to be reasonable conditions. We should not be saying everybody can do what they want.”

Tom Weigel, R-New Lenox, who chairs the Land Use and Development Committee, said it’s important to note cultivation centers will not be required to obtain special-use permits.

He said that’s where the county could expect to bring in more income.

Under the ordinance, dispensaries and cultivation centers would need to be a certain distance away from schools and residential areas.

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Some Will County Board members made it clear Thursday they want to explore all options when it comes to a new courthouse – even if that means venturing outside the downtown Joliet area to build.

Charles “Chuck” Maher, R-Naperville, pointed this out immediately following the board’s unanimous approval to hire the Darien-based Wight & Company as the design and planning team for the new courthouse.

“There are a number of folks in this [Republican] caucus that would like to see us at least do a general overall cost analysis of what it would cost to be on a green space,” Maher said. “We know, and there’s a feeling that, taking and doing a building on open land would be a lot less expensive.

our tax dollars.”

His comments come in the same week that Speaker Herbert Brooks Jr., D-Joliet, assured Joliet City Council members that the board is committed to ensuring that Joliet remains the county seat.

At the meeting, Brooks told council members it’s likely that the courthouse will be built where the First Midwest Bank, 50 W. Jefferson St., currently stands, and that the county is “very, very close” to closing on the property.

Maher and Republican Caucus Chair Jim Moustis said the project should be budget-driven, and called for a cost analysis.

Denise Winfrey, D-Joliet, said Wight & Company intends to look at all options and study potential costs. A new courthouse could cost anywhere from $140 million and $200 million, depending on how many courtrooms the county decides to build.

JOLIET – Medical marijuana dispensaries in unincorporated Will County would need special-use permits, despite one county board member’s argument that the restriction could inhibit business opportunities.

The county board on Thursday added the special use permit to its zoning rules for future medical marijuana dispensaries.

The original zoning proposal, approved earlier this month by the Land Use and Development Committee, did not require dispensaries to seek a special-use permit through the county. The permit requirement means dispensaries will need county board approval before getting zoning.

Cultivation centers, where marijuana would be grown, could be located within the county’s two agricultural and three industrial zoning districts.

Special-use permits are not required for cultivation centers.

Dispensaries, which will be basically marijuana pharma-

cies, would be allowed in the county’s two agricultural, four commercial and three industrial districts.

The vote was 18-6 for special-use permits, with Speaker Herbert Brooks Jr., D-Joliet, abstaining from a vote.

Ron Howard, D-Beecher, voted against the newest changes, arguing they send the wrong message to the business community.

“Basically, this is a business, especially in agricultural communities. I don’t think that we should restrict them. This is no different than any other medical dispensary,” Howard said.

“I think this will prohibit a possible entity from coming in here and doing business. With the income potential on this, I think that we should look at this and make it as easy as possible for a business and for Will County.”

Proposed rules call for 66 dispensaries throughout the state, including a maximum of three dispensaries each in DuPage, Kane, Lake and Will counties. The law also allows for 22 growing centers throughout the state.

raised, Bell Fuels reserved the right to cancel the agreement.

According to Bell Fuels’ website, the company employs 29 people in the administration, operations and sales departments. A visit to the Morris office Thursday found three employees working in the office.

“Sales tax is designed to support the governments that are providing services to businesses and residents,” Matyas said in a news release. “These companies that rely on government service within the RTA region, but play games to avoid paying the correct tax, must be stopped.”

The RTA oversees the Chicago Transit Authority, the region’s Metra commuter line and the Pace suburban bus service.

The Morris lawsuit was filed in conjunction with two similar suits against companies in Genoa and Savanna.

ROMEOVILLE – The Romeoville Village Board on Wednesday extended by seven years the contract for Waste Management for collection of garbage, recycling and yard waste.

“The contract was expiring,” Assistant Village Manager Dawn Caldwell said.

“We’ll get additional services from them.”

According to the contract, Waste Management will increase the number of roll-off boxes across the village. The fuel surcharge was removed from the contract.

Waste Management also will pay a $5,000 per year fee for a court sponsorship at the Athletic and Events Center on Phelps Avenue.

Residents will pay the same rate as 2013, and still receive a 64- or 96-gallon recycling cart and a 96-gallon garbage cart per single-family residence. Residents can also request a 35-gallon cart as needed.

Pickup for one bulk item will be allowed weekly. Yard waste will continue from April 1 through Nov. 30.

The village will receive 75 carts with the village’s logo for its property, and all village buildings will receive service at no charge. Several parks and special events will receive discounted rates.

The village also approved

a special-use permit for the B-3 zoning district, paving the way for a 17,000-square-foot Goodwill store and donation center.

The store, which will be constructed west of the intersection of Weber and Airport roads next of the Aldi’s development, will meet local demand for Goodwill’s goods and services, according to report from Goodwill.

Construction is set to start in May and the store will be operational in the first couple of months of 2015.

The village previously approved a private road plan for the site in 2009.

The board also updated the zoning ordinance to allow resale shops like Goodwill to build into a highway or regional shopping district. The update excludes pawn shops and precious metal purchase shops.

Other items approved by the board include a grant to continue a volunteer firefighter training service.

The Staffing Adequate Fire and Emergency Response grant pays the fire academy to help fund volunteer firefighter training services. The grant is given through the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

The board also approved an amendment to the village’s personnel manual updating its anti-harassment policy to be in line with state and federal laws.

MORRIS – Grundy County faces more tax revenue woes with the arrival of yet another sales tax lawsuit.

The city of Morris joined the village of Channahon as the second Grundy County municipality being sued by the Chicago Regional Transit Authority for controversial taxing strategies.

The RTA named Morris and Bell Fuels – a wholesale petroleum distribution company – as defendants in the lawsuit filed Wednesday morning. The lawsuit claims Bell Fuels is unlawfully routing all purchases through a small office at 519 Franklin St. in Morris even though the company is headquartered in Stickney which is in Cook County.

Much like the Channahon lawsuit, the RTA claims Morris and Bell Fuels are diverting a “significant” amount of sales tax revenue from Cook County and, subsequently, the RTA. Morris Mayor Richard

Kopczick said Thursday morning the city had not yet been served and he could not comment on the lawsuit.

Bell Fuels’ attorney Micheal Mulcahy, of Vedder Price law firm, said his client also had not been served as of Thursday morning and were unavailable for comment.

“These agreements need to stop,” RTA Chief of Staff Jordan Matyas said Thursday.

The lawsuit cites a rebate agreement between Bell Fuels and the city signed in October 2001. In it, the city agreed to rebate 70 percent of all sales tax revenue generated at the Morris office back to Bell Fuels. At the time it was signed, such an agreement was allowable under Illinois law.

According to the original rebate agreement, Bell Fuels agreed to open a “single-order acceptance point for all Credit Sales,” in Morris in exchange for the hefty rebate.

The agreement also hinged on the city’s 6.25 sales tax rate – one of the lowest rates in the state. If the tax rate were to be

Phelps tested free speech with anti-gay protests Reverend dies at 84

By JOHN HANNA The Associated Press TOPEKA, Kan. – Fred Phelps did not care what you thought of his Westboro Baptist Church, nor did he care if you heard its message that society’s tolerance for gay people is the root of all earthly evil.

By the time you saw one of his outrageous and hate-filled signs – “You’re Going to Hell” was among the more benign – you were already doomed.

Tall, thin and increasingly spectral as he aged, the Rev. Fred Phelps Sr. and the Westboro Baptist Church, a small Fred Phelps congregation made up almost entirely of his extended family, tested the boundaries of the free speech guarantees by violating accepted societal standards for decency in their unapologetic assault on gays and lesbians.

In the process, some believe he even helped the cause of gay rights by serving as such a provocative symbol of intolerance. All of that was irrelevant to Phelps, who died late Wednesday. He was 84.

God is love? Heresy, he preached, and derisively insisted the Lord had nothing but anger and bile for the moral miscreants of his creation.

In Phelps’ reading of the Bible, God determined your fate at the moment of your creation.

Informing the damned could not save them from eternal fire, Phelps believed, but it was required for his salvation and path to paradise.

And so he and his flock traveled the country, protesting at the funerals for victims

of AIDS and soldiers slain in Iraq and Afghanistan, picketing outside country music concerts and even the Academy Awards – any place sure to draw attention and a crowd – with an unrelenting message of hatred for gays and lesbians.

“Can you preach the Bible without preaching the hatred of God?” he asked in a 2006 interview with The Associated Press. “The answer is absolutely not. And these preachers that muddle that and use that deliberately, ambiguously to prey on the follies and the fallacious notions of their people — that’s a great sin.”

For those who didn’t like the message or the tactics, Phelps and his family had only disdain. “They need to drink a frosty mug of shut-the-hellup and avert their eyes,” his daughter, Shirley Phelps-Roper, once told a group of Kansas lawmakers.

The activities of Phelps’ church, unaffiliated with any larger denomination, inspired a federal law and laws in more than 40 states limiting protests and picketing at funerals. He and a daughter were even barred from entering Britain for inciting hatred.

But in a major free-speech ruling in 2011, the U.S. Supreme Court held that the church and its members were protected by the U.S. Constitution’s First Amendment and could not be sued for monetary damages for inflicting pain on grieving families. Yet despite that legal victory, some gay rights advocates believe all the attention Phelps generated served to advance their cause.

Sue Hyde, a staff member at the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, said plenty of churches and ministers preach a message that attacks gay people. But Phelps and his family had “taken this out on the streets,” forcing people to confront their own views and rousing a protective instinct in parents and friends of gays and lesbians.

OBITUARIES IRVING RUDMAN, MD Born: February 18, 1924 Died: February 20, 2014 Irving “Bill” Rudman, MD, passed away after a brief illness on Thursday, February 20, 2014, at the age of 90 in Long Beach, California, with his children at his side.

A memorial service will be held Saturday, March 22, 2014, at 2:00pm.

St. Peter's United Church of Christ, 12 Sauk Trail, Frankfort.

Dr. Rudman was born in Pittsfield, Massachusetts, February 18, 1924, to Barnet and Rose (Shore) Rudman and was married in 1953 to Eris Lorene Cameron.

He was preceded in death by his parents, his wife in 1996, a son, Paul Cameron Rudman in 1963, and his brother Daniel Rudman, MD in 1994.

Dr. Rudman is survived by his daughter and son-in-law, Amy and Gregg Lasley, and their son, Keegan Lasley, of Fort Collins, CO; his son, Phillip Irving Rudman, of Carey, ID; his children, Joshua and Jessica Rudman; his sister-in-law, Inge Rudman; nephew, Richard Rudman; niece, Nancy Rudman Young; dear friend and companion, Charleen Mullen of Long Beach, CA; and his Cameron family: Martha Cameron, nieces Nancy “Kat” Goshorn, Renee Smith, Martha Hall, Angie Headley, Sarah Cameron Taylor, and nephews Ronnie Cameron & Kendell Cameron.

He graduated from Boston Latin School in 1941 and attended Harvard College from 1941 to 1943, and during that time was accepted to Yale University School of Medicine, graduating in 1947. He served his medical internship at the University of Chicago Clinics from 1947-1948 and then a four-year surgical residency at Erie County Medical Center in Buffalo, New York, from 1949-1951 and again in 1953-1954. In the midst of his residency (1951-1953), he served as a Captain in the United States Army Medical Corps 1951-1953. He was a member of three National Honor Societies: Phi Beta Kappa and Sigma Xi at Harvard and Alpha Omega Alpha at Yale. Dr. Rudman was certified by the American Board of Surgery in 1955 and became a Fellow in the American College of Surgeons in 1956.

Dr. Rudman joined Hedges Clinic in Frankfort, Illinois, as a partner in 1954 and retired in 1996 after 42 years of practice at the Clinic and at Silver Cross Hospital in Joliet,

Hospital in Joliet, Illinois, as a surgeon. As a physician leader, Dr. Rudman gave generously of his time and talents while serving as the Hospital's Vice-President for Medical Affairs from 1990 to 1997.

Dr. Rudman was instrumental in forming the largest paramedic system in the state--the WillGrundy EMS System in 1975--and assisted the Hospital in becoming the third in the State to be designated as a Level II Trauma Center. Dr. Rudman was always looking to bring the most advanced technology and medicine to the Hospital including minimally invasive techniques to perform the area's first cholecystectomy in the late 1980s. Dr. Rudman oversaw this cutting-edge minimally invasive procedure that became the gold standard in removing the gallbladder. He also facilitated the introduction of the 24-hour staffing of the Emergency Department by Board Certified physicians and was instrumental in the development of the Wound, Ostomy and Continence Program, serving as the Medical Director of that program for many years. Dr. Rudman also served on the Board of Directors for Will County Health Department and was the recipient of the Silver Cross Sehring Medal of Excellence in 2006. Until recently, Dr. Rudman continued to support his love of medicine by participating in Tumor Registry meetings, Cancer Committee meetings, and other medical functions.

Dr. Rudman dearly loved his family, his pets, chocolate, sports – especially golf, travel, hosting dinner parties, harvesting Eris' garden, volunteer work, and Rudman, Lasley and Cameron family visits. He was a collector of jokes and bon mots, had a passion for reading and continuing education.

Dr. Rudman had a wonderful love and respect of the English language, taking any opportunities throughout his life to ensure it was spoken and written correctly.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be sent to St. Peter's United Church of Christ: Rudman Memorial Fund, 12 Sauk Trail, Frankfort, IL 60423. or Silver Cross Hospital Foundation, Dr.

Hospital Foundation, “Bill” Rudman Scholarship Fund, 1900 Silver Cross Boulevard, New Lenox, IL 60451.

Our family is humbled and grateful for all of the heartfelt letters we have received. Dr. Bill Rudman was truly a compassionate physician, father and friend.

By MICHAEL TARM The Associated Press CHICAGO – Illinois’ Supreme Court declared one of the nation’s toughest eavesdropping laws unconstitutional, saying Thursday that the law was so overly broad that it would technically make the recording of screaming fans at a football game a crime.

The ruling is the final de-

feat for the Illinois Eavesdropping Act, which had made it a felony for someone to record a conversation unless all parties involved agreed.

The 1961 law violates free speech and due process protections, the court decided in unanimous decisions in two related cases focused on audio recordings.

charged under the statute for recording a Cook County court official over the phone who she believed wasn’t carrying out her duties properly.

The Illinois law had suffered earlier defeats, including in 2012 when the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals struck down a provision that barred anyone from video recording police officers doing their jobs in public. Thursday’s decisions – in People v.

Melongo and People v. Clark – mean lawmakers in Springfield will have to ensure the statute complies with court findings.

“Instead of serving as a shield to protect individual privacy, the statute was written so broadly that it allowed the state to use it as a sword to prosecute citizens for monitoring and reporting on the conduct of public officials,” Plotkin said.

Longtime Dems support Rauner

By TAMMY WEBBER The Associated Press CHICAGO – Several wellknown Democratic supporters, including longtime allies of President Barack Obama, said Thursday that they’re backing Republican venture capitalist Bruce Rauner for Illinois governor, signaling that the campaign will focus on swing voters crucial to winning in the heavily Democratic state.

Rauner spoke Thursday at a downtown Chicago hotel flanked by some of the more than 20 supporters he’s billing as “Democrats and Independents for Rauner.” He said his approach to solving the state’s problems has nothing to do with political affiliation.

“Solving problems is not partisan, leadership is not partisan ... consensus building is not partisan,” Rauner said.

Backers include longtime Obama supporter and former Federal Communications Commission Chairman Newton Minow, 88, who said he’s

taking “a leave of absence from my party” to support Rauner.

“Illinois is in desperate shape ... [and] I regard this as a decisive, important election,” said Minow, a founder of the Chicago law firm Sidley Austin who gave Obama his first job after law school.

Minow said that in a Rauner administration, “there won’t be a big difference between Democrats and Republicans because the problems are too tough and they’ve got to be solved.”

Former Democratic National Finance Committee member Manny Sanchez, a Chicago attorney who led Latino outreach in Obama’s two presidential campaigns but considers himself an independent, said two-thirds of Illinois voters probably are independents even if they normally vote with a specific party.

“I know Rauner is a centrist ... and represents the majority of Illinois,” Sanchez said. “This is not the time to be bogged down in ideological

support of parties.”

Gov. Pat Quinn, a Chicago Democrat, has acknowledged it’ll be a difficult re-election bid considering the millions that Rauner has raised and spent. But he told reporters Thursday that he wasn’t worried about Rauner making inroads with Democrats.

Rauner narrowly won the four-way GOP primary over state Sen. Kirk Dillard.

“Looking at the results of the Republican primary, I think he has plenty of work to do on that side,” Quinn said.

“He didn’t get resounding victory at all from his own party. There’s always going to be people who pick a different candidate. I think we’ll do very well with the Democratic Party.”

Quinn has the support of labor unions, which spent millions on ads during the primary to attack Rauner. The GOP nominee has said he wants to curtail public unions, much like Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker and former Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels did.

NATION&WORLD U.S., Europe target Putin’s inner circle Congress

By JULIE PACE The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Raising the stakes in an East-West showdown over Ukraine, President Barack Obama on Thursday ordered economic sanctions against nearly two dozen members of Vladimir Putin’s inner circle and a major Russian bank that provides them support. He warned that more sweeping penalties against Russia’s robust energy sector could follow.

Russia retaliated swiftly, imposing entry bans on American lawmakers and senior White House officials, among them Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, Obama senior adviser Dan Pfeiffer and the president’s deputy national security adviser, Ben Rhodes.

It’s far more than just a U.S.-Russia dispute. European Union leaders said they, too, were ready to close in on Putin’s associates, announcing plans to impose travel bans and asset freezes on more Russians involved in the territorial clash with Ukraine.

President Barack Obama makes a statement Thursday on Ukraine on the South Lawn at the White House in Washington before departing for Florida.

The Western aim is twofold: to ratchet up the costs for Putin’s annexation of the Crimean Peninsula and to head off any further Russian military inroads into Ukraine.

“The world is watching with grave concern as Russia has positioned its military in a way that could lead to further incursions into southern and eastern Ukraine,” Obama said, speaking from the South Lawn of the White House.

Thursday’s volleys deepened the confrontation over

Ukraine, a standoff that has become one of the biggest political crises in Europe since the Cold War. Putin, rather than backing off as the West warns of costs, has defiantly moved military forces into Crimea, backed a referendum in which the Crimean people overwhelming voted to join Russia and then signed a treaty formally absorbing the strategically important peninsula into Russia.

In Ukraine, pro-Russian forces seized three Ukrainian

warships Thursday, and U.S. officials acknowledge privately that there is little chance of Russia giving up Crimea now. The more pressing concern is stopping Putin from pushing into other Ukrainian areas with large ethnic Russian populations. Thousands of Russian troops are currently positioned along Ukraine’s eastern border.

The Pentagon said Russia’s defense minister assured Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel that those forces have no intention of crossing into Ukrainian territory and are only in the region to conduct military exercises. The two men spoke by phone for an hour.

The U.S. had received similar assurances from top Kremlin officials, including Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, before Russian troops moved into Crimea.

The penalties announced Thursday by the U.S. and Europe build on an initial round of narrower sanctions levied earlier this week. While European officials did not immediately release names, the U.S. listed some of Putin’s closest associates.

General spared prison in sexual misconduct case The ASSOCIATED PRESS FORT BRAGG, N.C. – The Army general at the center of a sexual misconduct case that put the military justice system itself on trial was spared prison Thursday and sentenced to a reprimand and a $20,000 fine – a punishment legal experts, a women’s group and members of Congress decried as shockingly light.

Brig. Gen. Jeffrey A. Sinclair, 51, immediately announced his retirement, capping a humiliating fall for the battle-tested commander once regarded as a rising star in the Army. A disciplinary board could still bust him in rank and severely reduce his pen-

sion.

“The system worked. I’ve always been proud of my Army,” Sinclair said outside court after reacting to his sentence with a smile and an embrace of his lawyers. “All I want to do now Jeffrey A. is go north and Sinclair hug my kids and my wife.”

The former deputy commander of the storied 82nd Airborne Division was originally brought up on sexual assault charges punishable by life in prison. He was believed to be the highest-ranking U.S. military officer ever court-mar-

tialed on such charges.

But earlier this week, prosecutors dropped those charges midway through the trial in a deal in which Sinclair pleaded guilty to committing adultery with one woman and conducting inappropriate relationships with two others by asking them for nude pictures and exchanging sexually explicit email. Adultery is a crime in the military.

The case unfolded with the Pentagon under heavy pressure to confront what it has called an epidemic of rape and other sexual misconduct in the military.

Rep. Jackie Speier, D-Calif., called the sentence “laughable.”

“Even when the world is watching, the military has demonstrated their incompetence at meting out justice,” Speier said in a statement.

“This is another sordid example of how truly broken the military justice system is. This sentence is a mockery of military justice, a slap on the wrist nowhere close to being proportional to Sinclair’s offenses.”

While the charges against Sinclair carried a maximum of more than 20 years in prison, the plea bargain worked out by the defense and military prosecutors called for no more than 18 months.

The judge, Col. James Pohl, did not explain how he arrived at a much lighter sentence.

adds heat in torture dispute The ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON – Adding heat on the CIA, the Senate will investigate a computer network that contained a-secret review of U.S. terror interrogations that led to dueling criminal referrals to the Justice Department and a dramatic collapse in relations between the nation’s spy agencies and the lawmakers entrusted with their oversight.

In letters to the heads of the CIA and Justice Department, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said the CIA’s decision to search the Senate intelligence committee’s network and computers without approval was “indefensible” and carried serious implications for the separation of powers between the executive and legislative branches.

Reid said he had instructed his Senate’s chief cop to examine how Senate staffers obtained an internal CIA review, which the agency accused them of improperly copying, although Reid described the CIA’s alleged monitoring of Senate computers as more serious.

Legislative aides said the Senate intelligence committee will push for declassification of parts or all of its 6,000-page report on the agency’s “war on terror” interrogation tactics at secret sites, the starting point of the entire dispute.

The parameters of the sergeant-at-arms’s investigation are unclear and it’s unknown what cooperation he’ll receive from the CIA.

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia – Search planes joined a freighter early Friday to scan rough seas in one of the remotest places on Earth after satellite images detected possible pieces from the missing Malaysia Airlines plane in the southern Indian Ocean.

In what officials called the “best lead” of the nearly 2-week-old aviation mystery, a satellite detected two large objects floating about 1,000 miles off the southwestern coast of Australia and halfway to the desolate islands of the Antarctic. The area is so remote it takes aircraft longer to fly there – four hours – than it does for the search.

The development raised new hope of finding the vanished jet and sent another emotional jolt to the families of the 239 people aboard.

Australian authorities said in a statement early Friday that the search had turned up nothing so far. Efforts were resuming with the first of five aircraft – a Royal Australian Air Force P3 Orion – leaving the base in Western Australia for the search around dawn. A civilian Gulfstream jet and a second Orion were expected to depart later Friday morning and a third Orion was set to fly out in the early afternoon to scour more than 13,000 square miles of ocean.

A U.S. Navy P-8 Poseidon aircraft was scheduled to leave the base in the afternoon, but like the other planes, it will have enough fuel for only a few hours before returning to Perth.

“It is a very long journey to the site and unfortunately, aircraft can only have one or two hours over the search area before they need to return to the mainland for fuel,” Warren

Truss, who is currently Australia’s acting prime minister while Tony Abbott is overseas, told Australian Broadcasting Corp. He said that weather conditions in the area were poor and may get worse.

“And so clearly this is a very, very difficult and challenging search. Weather conditions are not particularly good and risk that they may deteriorate,” Truss said.

One of the objects on the satellite image was almost 80 feet long and the other was 15 feet.

There could be other objects in the area, a four-hour flight from Australia, said John Young, manager of the Australian Maritime Safety Authority’s emergency response division.

“This is a lead, it’s probably the best lead we have right now,” Young said. He cautioned that the objects could be seaborne debris along a shipping route where containers can fall off cargo vessels, although the larger object is longer than a container.

Truss said officials were working to get more satellite images and stronger resolution to help searchers get a better sense of where the objects are and how far they’ve shifted since the initial images were captured. “They will have moved because of tides and wind and the like, so the search area is quite broad,” Truss said, adding that marker buoys were dropped to help get a better understanding of what drift is likely to have occurred.

The Norwegian cargo vessel Hoegh St. Petersburg, with a Filipino crew of 20, arrived in the area and used searchlights after dark to look for debris. It will continue the search Friday, said Ingar Skiaker of Hoegh Autoliners, speaking to reporters in Oslo.

The Norwegian ship, which transports cars, was on its way from South Africa to Australia, he said.

OUR VIEW

IHSA leaves us in the dark The Illinois High School Association long has held that it has its member schools’ best interests in mind.

Many times, it appears it does.

But the state athletic organization also wants its membership, the majority of which are public high schools supported by public funds, to take its word while claiming ownership of all of the state’s high school sporting events.

That’s going too far. At least one lawmaker agrees. llinois HR 895, from State Rep. Linda Chapa LaVia, D-Aurora, aims to take some of the IHSA’s power away and give it back to our local high schools.

As a nonprofit organization, the IHSA has to file a Form 990 with generic revenue numbers on it, but its contracts are not subject to the Freedom of Information Act. And it isn’t offering that information – on anything from pay-per-view webcast deals to contracts with equipment manufacturers – to the public.

LaVia also wants to examine the IHSA’s claim of exclusive webcast rights to playoff games. The organization says it can decide who can broadcast what games and then charge whatever fee it chooses for the broadcast rights.

Her resolution calls that claim “contrary to the public policy of the state of Illinois.” She’s right.

Let the schools decide. Only the IHSA can benefit from locking down the webcast of playoff games in all sports and charging the public nearly $10 to watch any event.

For its part, the IHSA had little to say about the resolution, much like its private contracts.

“We have no idea what concerns the Representative might have, because she has not contacted the Association,” the organization wrote in a press release about the easily accessible and understandable resolution.

It’s time for the IHSA to open its books and start serving its public and private schools in an appropriate fashion. Until someone forces the organization to do that, it would prefer to leave you in the dark.

ANOTHER VIEW

Parenting is hard; good thing I’m a grandparent The waitress told me to sit wherever I wanted, so I found a little table hidden behind a post away from everyone else. It’s not that I cared so much about my own privacy; I just wasn’t in the mood to be around people. It’s all part of my old-man/curmudgeon training.

There was a flaw in my plan, however. When you choose to sit among the empty tables, you’re trading the problem you know for the problem you don’t know. I could have sat next to the homeless-looking guy with food in his beard who kept talking to himself. Or I could have taken the table near the two women who looked like they were angry at the world and getting angrier. So it really wasn’t a difficult choice to hide over in the corner by myself.

But just as my meal arrived, the wait staff starting pushing tables together next door to me. Soon, a mother walked in with three children.

She was followed by another mother with two children. Then another with two children. And a fourth with only one. Suddenly, I was having lunch in a daycare center.

The toddlers were grouped at their

RAMBLIN’ MAN David Porter own table. One girl took charge and determined the seating chart, based mostly on who she wanted to sit by.

The mothers did their best to ignore the kid table as they engaged in what might have been the only adult conversation they’d had in several months. It was soon obvious that they were part of some sort of support group for young mothers and had not met previously. They went around the table and introduced themselves.

Yes, I was eavesdropping, mostly because I wanted to know more about this invention called ketch-sup and partly because I was bored.

But that’s what I do. I observe people and listen to their stories. If they had wanted to have a private conversation, perhaps the local greasy spoon is not the appropriate venue.

I’m a polite eavesdropper, though.

If the conversation sounds private, I tend to tune it out. I really don’t want

to know intimate details about some stranger’s latest surgery. Or how much money she’s going to get when her aunt checks out. I don’t eavesdrop to the point that it feels voyeuristic.

I don’t press my ear up against doors or peek through binoculars. Well, not since the restraining order, anyway.

The mothers were all young, early 20s. One spoke with a heavy foreign accent. I imagined that their jobs or their spouses’ jobs had taken them away from family, so they didn’t have the support system that mothers, sisters and long-time friends provide.

Even with just one or two kids, you need that support. When your kid projects vomit 20 feet across the room, you need to know that you’re not raising Cujo in human form.

Kids this little are great fun, but I can’t imagine being stuck alone in a house with one all day every day.

That’s why I’m happy to be in the grandpa stage. When they stop being fun, you just hand them back to their parents.

Plainfield Central has 6 returning starters, freshman pitcher Daly

By TIM TIERNEY Shaw Media Correspondent

• Friday, March 21, 2014*

PLAINFIELD – With most position players back from last year’s team that won 28 games, Plainfield Central should be in position to add to its impressive numbers this season.

Central won the Southwest Prairie Conference title and a regional championship last year after a historic 2012 season that included the Wildcats’ first sectional title.

“We’ve been blessed with great talent,’’ Central coach Anne Campbell said.

That talent included 2013 graduate Kaleigh Nagle, an elite player who won 25 games and hit .451 last season before moving on to Illinois-Chicago.

“There was a great class of seniors in the conference last year,’’ Campbell said. “A lot of teams lost a lot of players, so it’s hard to say how it’s going to be this year.’’

Campbell has six returning starters to count on and a promising freshman pitcher to take over for Nagle after spring takes over for winter and fields dry out.

Senior returning starters are first baseman Tara Cannella, center fielder Timi Tooley and second baseman Alison Mangino.

Juniors returning to the starting lineup are shortstop Michaela Schlattman, Hannah Franceschini, who is moving from the outfield to third base, and Gretchen Egly, who will be behind the plate after playing the outfield last season.

“We definitely have a lot of girls on this team who are outspoken and have good leadership skills,’’ Cannella said.

Campbell described the Wildcats as having “a little bit of youth with a lot of experience that knows what it takes.’’

ing on the whole varsity role as a freshman,’’ Tooley said.

Sophomores Maddie Janssen, a backup last season, and Vanessa Godina also will contribute on the mound.

“It’s going to take all three of them for us to be successful,’’ Campbell said. “I don’t like to overpitch a freshman pitcher.’’

Another key will be senior Sarah Grabowski, a baserunner and backup pitcher last year moving to the outfield this season.

“We have very good team chemistry,’’ Cannella said. lar movement’’ to Nagle.

Tooley said the best part of “I think she’ll be fine tak- the past two seasons “was the

journey that we took together’’ while compiling a total of 55 victories.

A couple dates that stand out on this year’s schedule are April 17 and May 13, conference games against Minooka, the defending Class 4A state champ.

“Their ultimate goal every year is to get to Peoria,’’ Campbell said of her team.

“As heartbreaking as it was to lose to Minooka and watch them go all the way, it’s a team we play on a regular basis. We’ve beaten. It gives them that little boost that if Minooka can do it, we can.’’

“We get really close,’’ Tooley said. “It makes us want to get all the way this time, get past what we’ve done before.’’

Providence primed to rise again

Healthy Morgan Greenwood back to lead Celtics’ charge

By STEVE MILLAR Shaw Media Correspondent NEW LENOX – In the bottom of the first inning in a late-season game against Richards last spring, Providence star Morgan Greenwood slid into second base and felt her left ankle buckle.

Just like that, her season was done.

Without Greenwood, the Celtics’ campaign came to a similarly abrupt close with a surprising loss to Lincoln-Way North in a regional final. Their bid to return to state after a third-place finish in Class 3A in 2012 fell short.

“It was really hard for me sitting in the dugout and watching that game and all the games really,” Greenwood said. “I was at every game. I didn’t want to miss one. Watching the team lose was a really awful feeling.”

Greenwood, who is committed to DePaul, did turn out to be a bit lucky, however. When she was carted off the field during the Richards game, a catastrophic injury was feared.

As it turns out, she had a bad ankle dislocation but no broken bones.

She was sidelined for six weeks before beginning physical therapy and was able to play some in the fall.

Now she’s ready for her junior season and hungrier than ever.

“I’m so excited for this season to start,” she said. “I’ve been dying to get back on the field with my team. We’re all excited to get back out there and show everyone what we can do.”

Providence coach Jay Biesterfeld is sure glad to have Greenwood, who hit .460 last season, back.

“She’s a left-handed hitter with power and she can really put fear into the opposition,” he said. “She can drive the ball to all fields. She doesn’t have many holes in her swing. She’s such a tough out.”

The Celtics return six other

In the circle, there are big shoes to fill with the loss of Amanda Wilson, who won 15 games last year before moving on to Florida Atlantic.

Sophomore Kendall Judge seems to be an able replacement. She went 8-3 with two saves and 111 strikeouts in 751⁄3 innings last year.

“Kendall logged some good innings as a freshman,”Biesterfeld said. “In her first varsity game, she threw a no-hitter.

The ASSOCIATED PRESS SPOKANE, Wash. – Siyani Chambers scored 11 points, including five straight in the final 2 minutes, and 12th-seeded Harvard won its second NCAA tournament game in history, upsetting fifth-seeded Cincinnati, 61-57, on Thursday in the East Regional.

By MARK LAZERUS mlazerus@suntimes.com There was no rending of garments in the Blackhawks dressing room Wednesday night. No wailing and sobbing. No frantic phone calls to Teuvo Teravainen, either.

Hawks fans should take note.

Deep breaths, people. Inhale, exhale, repeat. Patrick Kane’s apparent knee injury is not a death knell to the Hawks’ Stanley Cup chances.

In fact, it might have hardly any impact at all. The initial prognosis is that Kane can be back in three weeks, and the worstcase scenario Patrick Kane is he returns for the playoffs, which start April 16.

Heck, given the amount of hockey Kane has played since the Olympics, it might be a blessing in disguise. Even the indefatigable Kane has alluded to how taxing the past two months have been. Sure, there are concerns about how strong his knee will be and how confident he’ll be on it when he comes back. But considering how utterly dominant he was in November and December, a healthy AND rested Kane for the playoffs could be a scary sight for the Western Conference.

Kane is a singular talent, and as Andrew Shaw put it, “You can’t fill his shoes.”

But barring a collapse by the Blues, the Hawks are pretty much locked into a firstround matchup with Colora-

do. The only thing the Hawks are playing for over their final 12 games is home-ice advantage in that series.

This brings us to Teravainen, who has Hawks fans in an understandable tizzy.

The Finnish prospect made the trip across the Atlantic Ocean on Thursday, but his immediate future remains uncertain. The Hawks don’thave the salary cap space to put him on the NHL roster – unless they move Kane to long-term injured reserve, which would pretty much ensure he doesn’t come back until the playoffs. And even if Stan Bowman does find a way to clear cap space for Teravainen, you can be sure the Hawks will be very careful with their most prized prospect.

Make no mistake – Teravainen is the real deal. He’s supremely skilled, he showed tantalizing chemistry with Kane in training camp and he’s without a doubt the Hawks’ second-line center of the future. The question is, is he the Hawks’ second-line center of the present, too?

He shouldn’t be. Even before Kane’s injury, the smart play with Teravainen was to send him to Rockford to get acclimated to the smaller North American rinks, bring him up for a couple of regular-season games, and then have him be a Black Ace during the playoffs – allow him to get to know his teammates, to learn the life and routine of an NHL player, and maybe even to play a couple of games if Quenneville deems him defensively ready (we already know he’s offensively ready).

JAMMIN’

Kidz Jam, a monthly open mic experience, allows youth to share their musical talents

LOCKPORT – When LeAnn Maland of Joliet heard that Kidz Jam needed a youth drummer for its house band, she knew her 12-yearold son AJ Maland could fill the spot.

AJ has played drums since he was 3, taken lessons since he was 6 and played in group settings through summer band camps. AJ started drumming with Kidz Jam in December and he loves the variety of music he’s learning.

“It’s good to play in bands,” AJ said, “because they [musicians] learn to cooperate with the other people and get to know them.”

Kidz Jam is a monthly open mic experience for youth up to 17, said Monica Minogue of Lockport, who began Kidz Jam in September. The event has attracted a wide range of ages and experience. The youngest performer – so far – is just 7 years old.

“It’s such a boost to their confidence,” Minogue said.

“Some have never performed to a live accompaniment and others have more experience.

It’s also giving kids that are serious about music with the goal of learning some new songs.”

Each jam session lasts two hours and is currently attracting 15 performers, with about three to five “new to the studio” musicians each month, Minogue said. The venue itself –-William Alexander Wine & Music Studio in Lockport – is a “warm, intimate space” where no one feels “pressured to order,” although “a lot of kiddie cocktails are being served.”

“And popcorn for whoever wants it,” Minogue added with a smile.

Emma Chiaro (Lockport), Arianna Gonzalez (Oak Lawn), Xenia Sinclair (Homer Glen), Olivia Minogue (Lockport), Grace Koliopoulos (Plainfield) and Dakota Carl on bass (Joliet) perform a cover of “We’re Not Gonna Take It” by Twisted Sister.

Studio – encourages child performers of all artistic mediums to participate. That includes poetry readings.

“I’d love to have a child comedian,” Guzik said. “That would be fabulous.”

This is not the first youth musical program Minogue has created. Minogue is the founder of StagePlay: Musical Theater for Kids! This is a 14-week musical theater program Minogue has offered area park districts since her children, Olivia Minogue, 10, and Martin Minogue, 12, were young.

“I was looking for a career change,” said Minogue, a former event planner. “I was commuting into the city and I wanted something that had the flexibility of being at home with my family while getting back to something I was passionate about.”

As a theater student at Ball State University in Indiana, Minogue enjoyed taking

classes in children’s theater.

Minogue wanted to offer youth the chance to create a music production from “start to finish,” learn about music and performing and “build a little confidence along the way.”

Minogue divides StagePlay students into three groups: 3- to 5-year-olds, 5- to 8-year-olds and 9- to 15-yearolds. They perform at high school auditoriums, park districts, middle school gyms and multipurpose rooms – on an actual stage, whenever possible.

“You see the pride and joy that the kids have in what they’re doing, the excitement in coming to class and the disappointment when they’re at the end of rehearsals and have to leave,” Minogue said. “I can’t imagine my life without it.”

Last year, Minogue brought her two children to a family-friendly open mic

event at William Alexander Wine Studio, where Olivia sang and Martin played trombone. Since they enjoyed it so much, in July Minogue invited families associated with StagePlay to join them.

The concept succeeded enough for Minogue to open it to youth in the surrounding communities.

Kelly Carl of Joliet said AJ had contacted her daughter Dakota Carl, 16, about Kidz Jam, as the two kids had performed together in summer band camps. Dakota, who plays the electric bass in Kidz Jam’s house band, is also part of the jazz ensemble at Plainfield Central High School. Kidz Jam, Carl said, gives Dakota the opportunity to play popular music.

Dakota, who favors classic rock and alternative for the variety of “interesting” bass parts, said Kidz Jam is a great way for the community to hear quality live music

from “ridiculously talented” youth.

Liz McCully of Joliet agreed. Her daughter, 10-year-old Jordan McCully, has been a singer since she was 3 and a guitar student for several years. Jordan performs with both the house band and solo, giving her the opportunity to showcase her music without it overtaking her life.

Jordan, who learns two new songs each week (her favorite artist is Taylor Swift), occasionally feels nervous but once people start “singing and clapping,” the jitters vanish. Plus, Jordan added, Kidz Jam is “a great way to express myself.”

Other members of the Kidz Jam house band are Alexus Maldonado, 12, of Joliet on electric guitar and Madison Menchaca, 13, of Plainfield on acoustic guitar.

Minogue is currently seeking a keyboardist.

That house band, along with other yet-to-be-selected youth musicians, will be part of a StageKids live band for this summer’s rock-themed production. Kidz Jam, however, is for any young person interested in getting involved, Minogue stressed.

“I’m not looking for a certain caliber of talent,” Minogue said. “It’s open to anyone willing and brave enough to get up there and share their passion for music with other people.”

The dummy is dead.

Long live dummy!

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Bill Watterson said, “Weekends don’t count unless you spend them doing something completely pointless.” Bear that in mind as the weekend is about to start.

However, another of those words is relevant to today’s North hand: pointless. And sometimes you have to bid with a true Yarborough. South opens two clubs, strong, artificial and forcing. North responds two diamonds, weak, artificial and forcing. South rebids two spades, natural and forcing.

What should North do now?

Usually, with a very bad hand, responder gives a second negative: either two no-trump (traditional) or three clubs (modern), according to partnership preference. Here, though, with four-card support for opener’s major, responder should jump to four of that major. This indicates at least four trumps but no first- or second-round control: no ace, void, king or singleton.

Against four spades, West leads the heart queen. How should South plan the play?

Declarer has two heart losers, so can afford only one trump loser, not two. There is just one layout that will save South: either opponent must have a singleton queen. Declarer should take the first trick and lead his spade king. And because this deal is seeing the light of day, you just know that will work.

Finally, South might have rebid three no-trump, which North would have passed because he could not be sure of an eight-card major-suit fit. (This is a bad sequence for Standard.)

Then, if West had led a club, South would have had to make the same spade play.

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips there is.

Dear Abby: I’m 21 and a college student. My mother recently came to visit me and took my boyfriend and me out to dinner. After we were through eating, we sat across the table from my mother and engaged in post-dinner chatter. I draped my arm around his neck and began playing with his ear. It was absent-minded, and I thought nothing of it, but my mother stared from across the table shocked.

She later told me that ear fondling is not appropriate in public.

I was taken aback. Isn’t it OK to play with my boyfriend’s ear in public? – Ear Snuggles In Vermont Dear Ear Snuggles: Playing with someone’s ear could be considered foreplay, and seeing it certainly made your mother uncomfortable.

Perhaps among your contempo-

raries it would be acceptable, but as a general rule, it’s better to keep intimate gestures of affection private.

Dear Abby: I would like to offer a reminder so people won’t have to experience what I am right now. Please take a few minutes to go through your wallet and make photocopies of everything in there. That way, if your wallet is lost or stolen, you’ll know what was in it, and it will be easier to report and replace the things, should the need arise. While I lost only $30, I lost a treasured photograph of my daughter, and I can’t remember what other cards may have been in there. – Fuming In Lutz, Fla. Dear Fuming: I know from personal experience how frustrating losing a wallet can be, so thank you for wanting to remind readers how important it is to copy documents or credit cards they carry with them.

New blood pressure guidelines come with controversy Dear Doctor K: I’m 68 years old and I take blood-pressure lowering medication. What do the new blood pressure guidelines mean for people of my age?

Dear Reader: You’re asking about new guidelines for managing high blood pressure, or hypertension, in adults. They were published recently by an expert panel of specialists in high blood pressure.

You may have noticed that experts (on any subject) don’t always agree with each other.

And sometimes they really don’t agree with each other. That’s the case with these guidelines. They are controversial, and I’ll explain why.

But first, some basics. Blood pressure is the force the blood exerts on your arteries when it is pumped out of the heart. Blood pressure is written as two numbers, recorded in millimeters of mercury (mm Hg).

Systolic pressure (the top number of a blood pressure reading) is the pressure during the heart’s pumping phase. Diastolic pressure (the bottom number) is the pressure during the resting phase, between heartbeats. I’ve put an illustration of how blood pressure is measured on my website, AskDoctorK.com.

The current categories of blood

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff pressure are: • Normal: less than 120/80 mm Hg • Prehypertension: 120-139/8089 mm Hg • Hypertension: greater than 140/90 mm Hg Why do we worry about high blood pressure? If you have it, and don’t have it treated, high blood pressure increases your risk of heart attack, stroke, kidney failure, aneurysms of the body’s main artery (the aorta) and of arteries in the brain, eye damage, problems with thinking and memory loss.

There’s no doubt that treating high blood pressure above a certain level reduces your risk of all these bad things. Like you, and millions of others, I have high blood pressure. I absolutely want it treated, and I don’t forget to take my pills.

Like the old guidelines, the new guidelines recommend that adults ages 30 to 59 should get treatment if their blood pressure is above 140/90 mm Hg. However, the new guidelines do give adults ages 60 and older

a bit more leeway. Treatment is not automatically recommended in this age group for people with blood pressures of 140-149/90, unless they have diabetes or kidney disease.

Why not? The experts who published the new guidelines argue that in such people the benefits of treatment are not as clearly proven, and side effects from blood pressure medicines are more common. Other experts disagree.

While I’m not a blood pressure expert, based on what I know, I treat blood pressure in people 60 and older when it is over 140/90.

The guidelines recommend that everyone with hypertension and prehypertension adopt lifestyle changes known to control blood pressure. These include: • Losing weight if needed • Limiting salt intake • Eating a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains • Staying physically active.

Even though there is some controversy about when to treat high blood pressure in people 60 and older, there’s no controversy about the value of treatment.

• Dr. Komaroff is a physician and professor at Harvard Medical School. Visit www.AskDoctorK. com to send questions and get additional information.

Dr. Wallace: I’m 17 and a very good student because I stay on top of my studies and make my homework a priority, yet I’m also active in school activities. I’m president of the pep club, secretary of the senior class, vice president of the art club and an active member of Young Democrats for a Better America group.

I’m also a member of the girls’ soccer team, so you can see that I’m a very busy student.

I have a married sister and a brother who is in his second year at Princeton University. I also have a baby sister who is just 10 months old. I love Ashley passionately. She is just starting to walk, and she is the cutest little bundle of joy in all of Massachusetts!

My mom is what you would call a “socialite,” and she belongs to several clubs that promote a clean environment or help finding shelter for the homeless. These are all worthy causes and Mom gets a lot of satisfaction from her participation. She also belongs to a bridge club, and she plays every Wednesday evening.

With all of my activities, I sometimes get home late after school, and sometimes I also have club meetings that are held at a student’s home. Ever since Ashley was born, I have been designated as the No. 1 babysitter when mom has her meetings. I don’t mind except when there is a conflict with my school activities. If that happens, I always lose because my mom says she can’t trust leaving Ashley with a stranger.

My dad is hardly ever home, so he is no help.

I know my mom reads your column because she comments on it several times a week, usually at breakfast, and

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace especially if one of the writer’s problems could also apply to me. I also know there are many experienced babysitters in Boston, and I feel it’s time for Mom to call one.

I even know some trustworthy girls who could fill in for me.

I’m a junior this year and do not want to look forward to babysitting the rest of this year and all of my senior year. I’ll be attending the university after I graduate, so I assume Mom will be forced to use a sitter then. Please give me your thoughts about this, as it is a very serious situation for me. – Nameless, Boston, Mass.

Dear Nameless: It seems to me that Mom is relying on you just a tad too much.

I understand her predicament. You’re a loving, responsible young lady and that makes you the best person to care for Ashley in Mom’s absence. Nevertheless, it’s hardly fair for you to have to short-change your highschool career so that your mother has the leisure to play bridge or even to engage in community projects.

Since she chooses to spend so many evenings away from home, it’s time for her to find a reliable babysitter or two to step in when you, also, are busy. Whenever possible, of course, you should care for Ashley.

But when doing so interferes with school activities, Mom should employ a sitter.

Dear Abby: I am wondering why pregnant women these days don’t wear smocks like we all wore years ago. While I do think pregnant women are attractive, I really don’t want to see their swollen bellies. Wouldn’t it be better to just “imagine” what is under that smock or long skirt? Does anyone agree with me? – Dorothy In Washington Dear Dorothy: Some readers may agree, but I’m pretty sure most of them won’t. You are harking back to the days when people were embarrassed about the subject of sex, and used euphemisms like “in a family way” or “a bun in the oven” to describe pregnancy.

Women today are proud to show off their silhouettes. In fact, I saw a woman recently sporting a T-shirt with an arrow pointing downward and the words “Baby on Board.” While this may seem to be somewhat “in your face,” I think it’s healthier than pretending there’s nothing going on when the expectant mother is in her seventh month and it’s obvious

It is time mother calls for a babysitter

BEST BETS ± 7 p.m. on LIFE Movie: Sorority Surrogate: Cassie Steele stars in this new drama as 21-year-old college student Valerie, who becomes a surrogate mother to a wealthy young couple to earn some muchneeded money for school. The parents-to-be are killed in an accident, and their will specifies that the baby’s aunt will have custody, but her controlling mother-in-law has other ideas.

± 7 p.m. TCM Movie: The Pink Panther: The title of this 1964 comedy actually refers to a very rare

gem sought by a sophisticated international jewel thief.

This “pink panther” turned into a cash cow for writerdirector Blake Edwards, thanks to the magical alchemy that occurred when Peter Sellers was cast as bumbling Inspector Clouseau, a role originally intended for Peter Ustinov. David Niven and Robert Wagner also are featured, as is Henry Mancini’s incomparable score.

± 8 p.m. HALL When Calls the Heart: Jack (Daniel Lissing) returns to Coal Valley after achieving hero status for putting away the Tollivers, but his reunion with Elizabeth (Erin Krakow) is complicated by the arrival of a beautiful newcomer.

Don’t succumb to someone else’s strategy. Have the confidence to carefully pursue your goal; a risky move could erase your hard work. Aim to please, but stick to your game plan.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – It may take some extra effort on your part to get things moving.

Take your time, be persistent, and prepare to change your tactics if you aren’t getting the desired results.

Jake Gyllenhaal in “Enemy,” a film with more style than substance.

‘Enemy’: That guy looks really familiar

By ANN HORNADAY The Washington Post Jake Gyllenhaal and Canadian director Denis Villeneuve did some pretty good work together last fall with “Prisoners,” a violent thriller that possessed more style than substance.

The same can be said for “Enemy,” a more enigmatic, less genre-driven exercise that they reportedly filmed before “Prisoners,” but that suffers from similar mannerisms and emptiness.

Gyllenhaal plays Adam, a withdrawn, socially awkward college professor who, when he ventures into the world’s last video store one night, discovers upon renting a movie that there’s a bit-playing actor out there who is his exact physical double.

As Adam pursues his own personal existential mystery story, “Enemy,” which is adapted from the Jose Saramago novel “The Double,” plays around with notions that have capti-

vated artists from Nabokov to David Lynch, with similar waking-dream dread, if not their heft and depth.

Toronto plays itself – for once – and serves as the setting for the psycho-erotic cat-and-mouse game that has been filmed in jaundiced shades of yellowing beige; the wan, lifeless palette matches the film’s overarching tone of drained, depressive enervation.

Gyllenhaal ably engages in that most time-honored of actorly exercises, playing his own doppelganger, and he manages to pay homage to not just one but two Martin Scorsese movies in a clever mirror scene.

Still, when he’s lecturing students on chaos theory and dictatorship and repeating historic patterns, he looks less like a man inhabiting a difficult, recessive character than someone hitting his mark and reading his lines.

For all the skill with which Villeneuve creates a forbidding, soupy-colored dystopia (whether in Adam’s imagination or downtown Toronto),

“Enemy” feels like something we’ve seen before – not just from Lynch but David Cronenberg, Stanley Kubrick and any number of contemporary masters of the subconscious at its most fetishistic and unnerving. (To make the Lynchian comparison that much easier, Isabella Rossellini makes a cameo appearance as Adam’s mother.)

There’s no doubt that Villeneuve can make a movie; he’s developed a strong cinematic voice. It’s tantalizing to imagine what he could do with a really fine story.

“Enemy” may best be filed under an exercise rather than fully realized effort, especially in light of a final shot that, for all its what-the-huh?! controversy, feels flimsy and unsupported by what’s gone before it.

• “Enemy” received two out of four stars. The film is rated R and contains some strong sexual content, graphic nudity and profanity. It runs 90 minutes.
