Another election night has come and gone.

As expected, there was a lot of “hurry up and wait” going on in our newsroom as the votes were tabulated. We must have refreshed the county clerk’s website about once every 30 seconds starting about 8 p.m. through the rest of the night. And then there was a flurry of activity once results were in and we worked to get in touch with candidates.

There was some drama too: The clerk’s website indicated shortly after 9 p.m. that all results were counted, but then reverted back to not having all precincts in. Will County Clerk Nancy Schultz-Voots told us that a computer glitch occurred at 9:22 p.m. election night, when early votes and in-person absentee ballots were added to the results from the county’s 303 precincts.

“When the thumbdrives were loaded into the system, we noticed a change and wanted to confirm the totals were accurate,” Schultz-Voots told The Herald-News the day after the election.

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.

It led to some tense moments in the newsroom as deadline ticked ever closer and we weren’t sure of the outcome of some races. While

VIEWS Kate Schott we may not have gotten final results for all races into the next day’s print edition, we got most of them on our website, www.theherald-news.com, as soon as we could.

I appreciate Schultz-Voots’ thoroughness and commitment to being accurate.

Making sure vote tallies were correct was more important that night. If her office hadn’t taken that extra step, and it was discovered later that some vote totals weren’t correct, it would have been unfair to all candidates, not to mention those who took the time to cast a vote.

And the vote totals aren’t 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. And then votes from the small portion of Aurora in Will County won’t be added into the mix until April 8, after Kane County certifies its results.

I’m happy with our staff’s performance on election night, and what we got into print and on the web. I also see room to be even better in November.

We’re already talking about improving the online component, which will include

information about candidates that will be posted well before Election Day, so readers can educate themselves about who is running. For after the election, a list of results from all contested races on the ballot is on my wish list. Having results posted online as we get them is on that list, too.

Thankfully, we have time to plan for that. What would you like us to consider when it comes time for the next election? I’m open to suggestions.

••• Sadly, I’m not surprised by the paltry voter turnout Tuesday. According to the clerk’s website, just 59,796 ballots were cast, out of 389,369 registered voters. That’s just 15.36 percent.

Schultz-Voots told me Thursday that it’s frustrating for her, too. Her office sends a voter guide to county residents with information about Election Day – including which polling places residents need to go to cast a ballot.

In my mind, that’s the equivalent of sending an engraved invitation to do your civic duty.

Here’s hoping turnout is higher in November.

Thank you for reading The Herald-News.

Goodson gives up county board seat after primary THE HERALD–NEWS District 5 Will County Board member Lee Ann Goodson will resign her seat next month to take a position with Edward-Elmhurst Healthcare.

Goodson has been named director of Community & Government Relations for the health system, effective April 9, according to a news release from the hospital.

Goodson did not immediately return a message left Friday seeking comment.

Her resignation comes just after Goodson successfully ran for re-election in Tuesday’s primary. She was nominated for a

spot on the ballot in the November general election.

Goodson will focus her efforts on Edward’s service area, including Naperville, Plainfield, Aurora, Bolingbrook, Lisle, Oswego, Romeoville, Warrenville, Woodridge, Yorkville and surrounding areas.

Goodson, a resident of Plainfield with two children, replaces Sandy Benson, who is retiring April 11 after nearly 25 years at the health system.

Goodson was elected to the county board in 2002. She also works as county government coordinator for House Republican Leader Jim Durkin and is a

commissioner of the Forest Preserve District of Will County.

She previously was Will County Legislative Coordinator for House Republican Leader Tom Cross from 2004 to 2013.

She will resign from her current posts when she joins Edward-Elmhurst in April. Her county board seat will be open in the Nov. 4 general election.

She is a member of the Illinois Association of County Board Members and Commissioners, Illinois Association of Counties, Metro Counties of Illinois, United Counties Council of Illinois, National Association of County Officials and Illinois Association of Park Districts.

Pioneer throwback Families get insight of life in the 1850s during festival

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Parents and children got to travel back in time after taking in a big pancake breakfast at the Pilcher Park Nature Center.

The Pilcher Park staff invited families out to the Nature Center in Joliet on Saturday to experience the life of mid-19th century pioneers for the Pioneer Festival. At roughly 11 stations, families could see how pioneers and their families played games, attended school, shot arrows and made maple syrup.

“It’s pretty educational,” said Sandra Strejc, who brought her two children Blake and C.J. to the festival. “They never learned about this time period before; they’re pretty young. They haven’t been exposed to this before, so I think it’s kind of interesting to learn about having to bring everything with you while you travel.”

and eastern North America used no other sweeteners besides maple sugar as white cane sugar had to be imported from the West Indies and was too expensive for most families.

The sugar maple tree, which can be found in Canada and North America, grows between 70 to 100 feet tall. The syrup created from the trees’ sap can only be made in the spring when the sap runs.

The trees sense spring is near and takes its stored food – the sap – and feeds it to its future leaves, according to Pilcher Park staff.

Soukup, who ran the shack, taught people about a machine called the evaporator that’s used in making the syrup.

“The maple industry is still pretty strong, especially in New England,” Soukup said.

Victoria Moya, also known as “Ms. Cleveland,” helped children experience the classroom of the 1850s. She held school sessions at the festival where her students would do classroom activities such saying their morning prayer or practicing the alphabet.

She also taught students about classroom punishments from the period, such as wearing a dunce cap or facing a circle drawn on a chalkboard, she said.

“It’s very funny,” she said.

“The kids go through it and they enjoy it and they get to have an 1850s name, too. We give them names so they’re not themselves when they come in.”

Deadline draws near for health insurance enrollment Push is on to enroll thousands

by March 31

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Adrian Smith didn’t have any health insurance when he came to Joliet about two years ago – and he needed it.

Smith, 34, was laid off from a job in Miami and now attends Joliet Junior College, where he is studying computer science. He runs a website called diabetessymptoms.me that explains his experience with diabetes.

Since medication and doctor appointments are expensive for Smith, who is unemployed, he could only seek treatment through the Will-Grundy Medical Clinic.

But then he found out he could apply for Medicaid, which expanded its eligibility limits to include people like Smith.

“It’s real good because my medication is important to me,” said Smith, who’s had several doctor appointments outside of the clinic since February. “I need it. If I go without medication, I could be in the hospital.”

Smith is one of many people throughout the state who already are benefiting from enrolling in expanded Medicaid coverage under the Affordable Care Act, a federal law that aims to make health care affordable and accessible nationwide. Coverage of new Medicaid enrollees – along with those who signed up for plans under the Health Insurance Marketplace – began this year.

But the deadline is drawing near for those who wish to get health insurance coverage this year and not face a tax penalty, which will cost them 1 percent of their yearly household income or $95, whichever is greater.

March 31 will be the last day for people without health insurance to sign up for a plan. The next enrollment period, for 2015, isn’t scheduled to start until Nov. 15.

Adrian Smith

Joliet resident and diabetes patient

Joliet resident Adrian Smith has his pulse checked as part of his diabetes treatment during a visit to his doctor Monday. have been pushing to get as many people without health insurance enrolled as possible. Nationally, enrollment in the marketplace hit 5 million as of March 17, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. In Illinois, Health and Human Services officials reported 88,602 people enrolled in early February.

The state has awarded grants to several health departments – including the Will County Health Department – to help get people enrolled.

The county health department has been trying to get as many of the roughly 60,000 eligible uninsured people in the coun-

ty to enroll before this year’s deadline.

The department was awarded a total of $633,000 in grants to educate people about the health insurance marketplace and help them enroll through their six navigators, said Vic Reato, the department’s media services manager.

Between Oct. 1, when the state marketplace opened, and March 19, roughly 2,728 people were enrolled through the health department, said Cindy Jackson, who manages four of the six navigators. Because of logistical problems at the state level and workstoppage by local unions, the enrollments only began in earnest

in December, Reato said.

The bulk of the enrollments took place since January, he said. But there is now a swell of people enrolling, especially young people, as the deadline draws near, Jackson said.

While department staff have not had issues with enrolling people in expanded Medicaid, it has taken some time to get people enrolled under the plans available in the health insurance marketplace, Jackson said.

Reato said the department has participated in more than 40 community events and educated more than 300 community stakeholders about the health insurance marketplace. Silver Cross Hospital and Presence Saint Joseph Medical Center have also provided assistance with enrollment.

The Will-Grundy Health Clinic – a Joliet nonprofit that provides free medical and dental care to adults with no health insurance who meet prescribed income guidelines – also is getting information out to people.

Harvey Lawrence, 64, of Joliet, has been going to the health clinic for a decade. He found out through the clinic he could enroll for Medicaid.

He applied last September and now gets care at Aunt Martha’s Health Center in Joliet.

“It’s pretty good,” Lawrence said. “But it’s only going to be until another 11 months and I have to go on Medicare. I’m at that age where you got to take Medicare when you’re 65.”

Lawrence has a borderline case of diabetes. He does not need daily medication and monthly doctor visits.

But he believes the expanded Medicaid coverage is helpful for people who need health care and can’t afford it.

“I feel like it’s a good deal if you can’t afford to pay it out of pocket,” he said.

Lewis student arrested for selling marijuana

The Herald-News / TheHerald-News.com • Sunday, March 23, 2014

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com ROMEOVILLE – A Lewis University student has been arrested for allegedly selling marijuana on campus.

Zachery M. Pogioli, 19, of the first block of Raleigh Avenue in Mackinaw, was booked into the Will County Jail early Friday morning on a charge of delivery of marijuana.

University spokeswoman Michelle Fregoso said campus police responded to a complaint in a residence hall and the subsequent investigation led to Pogioli’s arrest.

Fregoso said Pogioli will be subject to the school’s discipline process after the police investigation is finished. Lewis has a “zero-tolerance” policy on narcotics, according to the student handbook.

River flood threats end, county says

The Herald-News / TheHerald-News.com • Sunday, March 23, 2014

Warm weather, special siphon help get rid of ice THE HERALD–NEWS

TM

Warmer temperatures and a special warm water siphon system have eliminated the chance of ice causing flooding along the Kankakee River, Will County officials said Friday.

Harsh winter conditions caused ice as thick as 30 inches to form on the river, according to a news release from the county. Run-off from melting snow caused some of the ice to break up, threatening homes near Cottage and Willow roads in Wilmington and the bridge at Warner Bridge Road in late February. The bridge was closed to traffic for nearly three weeks.

“These are conditions not seen in at least 30 years,” Harold Damron, Will County’s

emergency management director, said in the news release.

“Several homes were flooded and damaged by these huge pieces of floating ice.”

Another factor that helped alleviate the ice jams was a special siphon system operated by the county in cooperation with Exelon’s Dresden Generating Station. The siphon draws warm water from Dresden plant’s cooling lake into the river.

“The siphon helped to clear ice at a critical point on the river where ice jams formed,” Damron said in the news release.

Will County Executive Larry Walsh made a direct request to obtain approval from the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency to use the siphon for an extended period.

talking to as many people as we could in the district,” Staley-Ferry said.

And while Staley-Ferry said she didn’t know what to expect going into election day, she thinks voters were ready for a change.

“This campaign for me was definitely about making some changes and bringing some new energy into the area,” Staley-Ferry said.

Adamic said his focus as a fiscal conservative would continue to be on squeezing the maximum out of each dollar, while at the same time helping the struggling parts of the district, such as the Fairmont area.

“Once you’re elected, you need to leave the donkeys and elephants in the parking lot and do what’s best for the greater good,” said Adamic, referring to the animal mascots symbolizing the Democratic and Republican parties.

District 9, however, which includes much of Joliet, has been a Democratic district. In the Republican primary, there was only one Republican candidate, Annette Parker of Crest Hill. Parker, too, will be on the November ballot.

Zigrossi, of Crest Hill, has been on the board since 2008.

She will remain in office until the winners of the general election are seated in December.

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

Tuesday’s Democratic primary in Will County Board District 9 featured a political newcomer topping both incumbents in an election that saw only a 15 percent turnout.

Lauren Staley-Ferry of Joliet finished well ahead Walter Adamic and Diane Zigrossi for a shot at one of the two district seats in the Nov. 4 general election.

Adamic, the senior county board member with 25 years in the post, will still have a spot on the November ballot. Voters were picking two candidates for November, which means Zigrossi is out.

Staley-Ferry took 39.69 percent of the ballot with 1,024 votes, Adamic 31.28 percent with 807 and Zigrossi 29.03 percent with 749.

Staley-Ferry attributed the win to knocking on doors and meeting people.

Will County residents join campaign for accessible housing

By FELIX SARVER

1.00% APY*

fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Transportation has always been difficult for Meghan Duffy, whose disabilities make it hard for her to travel to school on her own.

Because of complications with her vision, Duffy said she cannot drive to school, doctor visits or other outings by herself. She once attended Illinois Valley Community College, where she and her mom worked for more flexible transportation for people with disabilities like her.

Now, she attends Joliet Junior College, where she seeks to do the same.

“I am often stuck at school for four extra hours waiting for my stepdad to get off work and from where I need to go,” she said.

It’s not just flexible and accessible transportation Duffy is working to make possible for all Will County residents but

Members of the Will-Grundy Center for Independent Living, which advocates for the rights of people with disabilities, led the beginning of a campaign that promises to improve the quality of life for not only people with disabilities but those without them.

“There are so many people with or without disabilities who are in dire need of housing,” said Pam Heavens, executive director of the organization.

She said the campaign has been in the works for the past six months and the next steps will be to work with residents and elected officials to make the goals of the campaign a reality.

Continued from page 10 Many of those officials were present at the campaign, such as County Board Speaker Herbert Brooks, Joliet Mayor Thomas Giarrante and several city council members. They sat in on short group sessions at the campaign’s kick-off to listen to area residents’ needs on housing, transportation and accessible businesses.

Both Giarrante and Will County Executive Larry Walsh signed their signature on the campaign.

“In Will County, there are 11,000 extremely low income households but there are only 1,500 affordable housing units in the area,” said Felechia Mickles, who tried to find affordable housing for her sister to no avail. “I am excited to work on [this campaign]… because this could in the future not only meet the needs of my sister but the guests of MorningStar Mission and all people in this area.”

JOLIET TOWNSHIP – Five people, including a couple of senior citizens, were arrested Thursday after they reportedly struggled with police after a traffic stop.

About 2 a.m. Thursday two Will County sheriff’s deputies noticed a 1991 Oldsmobile speeding near Briggs Street and Route 6, sheriff’s office spokeswoman Kathy Hoffmeyer said. When a deputy turned on emergency lights to pursue it, the Oldsmobile’s lights were turned off, and it turned into a driveway in the 800 block of Violetta Avenue, Hoffmeyer said.

As deputies pulled behind it, Laura Hernandez, 45, and Ernest Lopez Jr., 38, got out and began walking toward the squad car, refusing deputies’ orders to return, Hoffmeyer said.

“Hernandez and Lopez continually resisted depu-

ties’ attempts to take them into custody,” Hoffmeyer said. “During [the struggle] Steven S. Chavez, 29, who was also the driver of the vehicle, approached a deputy and grabbed him.”

While the struggle continued, Ernest Lopez Sr., 74, and Concepcion Lopez, 65, came out of the house and grabbed the deputies as they were trying to restrain Lopez Jr., who was eventually stunned with a Taser, Hoffmeyer said.

Three backup deputies arrived to assist the two deputies during the confrontation, according to reports.

Hernandez, Lopez Jr. and Chavez all reside at the same address in the 2000 block of Hastings Drive in Plainfield.

All five were charged with battery and obstructing a police officer. Chavez also was charged with driving with a suspended license, driving without insurance, speeding and failing to use headlights.

Park board sets special meeting

The Herald-News / TheHerald-News.com • Sunday, March 23, 2014

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – The Plainfield Township Park District has scheduled a special open meeting for Tuesday to discuss recent events involving the Plainfield Soccer Association.

The meeting is scheduled for 5 p.m. in the lower level of the Heritage Professional Center, 24023 W. Lockport St., Plainfield.

The board will discuss “recent events involving PSA and Park District property at Renwick Park,” according to the meeting agenda.

PSA officials found the locks had been changed on their equipment shed at Renwick Park when they checked it March 18.

After breaking into the shed, they found 10 coaches bags were missing. A police report was filed.

Agenda items include a public comment session and comments from commissioners and President Peter Hurtado.

Plainfield park board wants action after vote

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – Plainfield Township Park District President Peter Hurtado said the board should act on term limits and explore an indoor recreation facility after the results of referendums on Tuesday’s ballot.

Voters overwhelmingly supported a referendum asking if term limits should be imposed on park board commissioners, only allowing them to run for two six-year terms.

They also supported a second question asking if the park district should investigate building an indoor recreation facility.

Voters rejected a referendum asking if permits should be required for dog parks.

All three referendums were nonbinding, meaning the board does not have to act on the results.

But 90 percent of voters said yes to term limits, a

popular idea that might be unrealistic without a change in state law.

“The appeal is very strong,” said Hurtado, who made term limits a main focus during his run to the park district board in 2011.

“This is something we probably have to address very quickly.”

Hurtado also said the vote on the indoor recreation center gave direction to the board.

“We can now move forward to a plan,” he said.

Hurtado said he hopes the board will form a committee composed of community leaders, park district staff and members of the public to work on a plan for a recreation center without raising taxes.

“At the very least, funding for the recreation should be 75 percent privately funded,” Hurtado said, adding that he thinks corporate sponsors and foundations can cover the costs.

MINOOKA – Former Minooka Community High School board member Michelle Mullen gave an emotional goodbye Thursday to fellow trustees and those in the audience at the board’s meeting.

Mullen resigned from her position two weeks ago after the Illinois Attorney General concluded it would be a conflict for Mullen to serve on the board. She is a teacher with the Grundy County Special Education Cooperative, where Minooka Community High School Superintendent Jim Colyott serves on the executive board.

Mullen said when she decided to run for the seat in December 2012, her motivations were pure.

“I grew up in this town, worked at this school and some of my best friends work here – people that I consider family,” she read from a prepared statement, “and I had a strong desire to try to improve things that were clearly broken.”

Mullen said she disagrees with the nonbinding ruling of the attorney general, but feels it’s fruitless to fight anymore.

When running, she said, she

spoke with representatives at the Illinois Association of School Boards twice, and was told there was no conflict of interest.

When she turned in her statement of economic interest, Mullen said, there still was no indication there would be a conflict of interest.

“I have had the threat of being charged with a felony held over my head for almost a year,” she said. “I have not had more than a speeding ticket in my life, and felony is a scary word.”

Mullen added that she is disappointed she will not be able to serve as a board member and help solve problems.

Later, Mullen said she will continue to attend school board meetings as a member of the public.

The school board also discussed the timeline for appointing a replacement for Mullen’s seat. Those who would like to apply for the position should submit their letters of intent by March 31 to the district secretary.

The board will notify candidates of interviews on or

by April 4. Interviews will be conducted April 8, and the new board member should be seated at the April 17 board meeting.

State senator visits Channahon technology class Bertino-Tarrant ‘excited’ about new computer lab

By JEANNE MILLSAP Shaw Media Correspondent CHANNAHON – State Sen. Jennifer Bertino-Tarrant, D-Shorewood, got a sneak peak at what Channahon grade school students will be learning in their computer labs next year.

School District 17’s instructional technology resource teacher, Renee Bogacz, told school board members at Monday’s board meeting that Bertino-Tarrant, who used to be a principal in the district, had contacted her after reading a Herald-News article on the computer code project scheduled for next year at all four Channahon schools.

Bogacz scheduled a time for Bertino-Tarrant to visit Mary Valentino’s fourth-grade class at Pioneer Path School for a sample of how young students will be introduced to coding.

“She was very, very excited,” Bogacz said. “She was absolutely knocked out at how the students were so natural at it. ... Some of the kids took to it so quickly.”

Computer coding, or programming, is a computer language written by people to instruct computers to perform certain tasks, like creating a web page or writing a game.

Bogacz said when students learn how to code, they also learn problem-solving skills, higher-order thinking, critical thinking and creativity.

Also at Monday’s school board meeting, the district extended its school year to make up for weather days this winter. Four days were added to the year’s calendar, making the last day of school for all students, except eighth-graders, June 4.

The eighth-grade graduation ceremony was moved to 6:30 p.m. June 2 at Minooka Community High School, South Campus.

Illinois State Sen. Jennifer Bertino-Tarrant, D-Shorewood, paid a visit Monday to Channahon District 17’s Pioneer Path School to watch a fourth-grade class learn computer coding. trict’s wrestling team were honored at Monday’s meeting for qualifying for the state competition. One, Jerad Price, took second place at state.

Coach Bill Stonich introduced Price, Kole Vaught, Jack Malloy and Danny McMillin to the board. Another state qualifier, Jack Ryan, was absent from the meeting. The team was 14-4 this year, Stonich said, and all but one of the state qualifiers

have been with him for all four years.

The board made several personnel decisions Monday, as well, including authorizing an honorable discharge for kindergarten teacher Kelsey Nichols. As enrollment numbers in the district decline, the number of classes also will decrease, including kindergarten, which will go from six classes this year to five next

year. Nichols’ class is the one that will be cut.

Superintendent Karin Evans said Nichols will be greatly missed and that she was a very good teacher.

In other action, the board: • Approved granting tenure status to two teachers: Ted Martin, at Three Rivers School, and Molly Stanek, at Channahon Junior High School.

• Accepted the resignation of Amy Neal as an aide at N.B. Galloway School. The board hired Christi Smith as head track coach and Megan Flynn as a substitute custodian.

• Approved an upgrade to its Barracuda web filter. The upgrade with three years of updates will cost $8,586, minus an approximate credit of $2,200 for the district’s existing filter.

• Will replace 33 network switches at the junior high and a router at N.B. Galloway School for a total cost of $79,867.

Many of the switches are more than 10 years old, the board was told, and getting new ones will decrease the failure rate.

T

he iconic Dodge Charger hints at the graceful, sweeping lines and brawny stance of the great ancestor that brought its own unique meaning to the term “muscle car” from 1966 to 1978.

The “new” Charger has forged its own following, offering a style that sets it apart, the latest technology and power up to the venerable HEMI. In February, consumers took note in a Strategic Vision survey, putting Charger among the “Most Loved Vehicles in America” in the “large car” category.

Charger SE, SXT and SXT Plus feature the 292-horsepower, 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 aluminum engine for up to 31 mpg highway with an eight-speed transmission.

Rallye, Blacktop or Redline packages with a cold air induction system push power to 300 horsepower and 31 mpg. R/T, R/T Plus, R/T Road & Track and R/T Max deliver 370 horsepower with the 5.7-liter HEMI, and get up to 25 mpg highway in four-cylindermode with Fuel Saver Technology.

Standard on most models is a five-speed automatic transmission, while the eightspeed automatic with paddleshifted manual control is standard on SXT, SXT Plus, and optional on SE. In addition, Charger can be had with rear-wheel or all-wheel drive.

The Charger R/T, shown with the Scat Package 3, is one of many variations of the 2014 version of the iconic sportscar.

Charger also offers special packages for enhanced comfort, safety and style. For example, buyers can add 20-inch chromeclad wheels, premium audio system, rear spoiler, forward collision warning, blind-spot monitoring, rear park assist and rear backup camera.

The Uconnect electronic vehicle information center offers a 4.3-

inch touchscreen, but an 8.4-inch touchscreen is available. Standard features also include anti-lock brakes, air conditioning, steering wheel-mounted cruise and audio controls, and power driver’s seat, windows, locks and mirrors.

Charger offers 16.5 cubic feet of cargo capacity.

For 2014, Dodge has further refined, enhanced and upgraded the five-passenger Charger, adding to its already popular blend of heritage styling, awardwinning premium interior, fullsize spaciousness, best-in-class V-6 fuel efficiency, and worldclass handling and performance.

Charger also received a “Top

Safety Pick” from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).

With 12 hospitals in the Chicago area, including Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center (pictured), Advocate Health Care is partnering with retail pharmacies, keeping medical offices open nights and weekends and delivering more care in patients’ homes. Illinois hospitals are extending services beyond their walls in a twin bid to improve health and capture more business.

Illinois hospitals shift to consumer convenience

By CARLA K. JOHNSON The Associated Press CHICAGO – In cities and rural areas throughout Illinois, hospitals are extending services beyond their walls in a twin bid to improve health and capture more business.

With “consumer convenience” and “retail approach” the new buzzwords, hospitals are branching out. Fitness centers, urgent care clinics and dental practices run by hospitals are no longer unusual ventures.

A new report details the changing health care landscape, finding two out of five Illinois hospitals operate freestanding outpatient clinics and one in three run fitness centers. The trend began years ago and got a boost from the nation’s new health care law, which provides financial incentives to hospitals that keep large populations healthy – and penalties to those that fail.

In Jerseyville, 80-year-old retiree Margie Meuth drives a mile to exercise at Jersey Community Hospital’s fit-

ness center. When the $3 million center was built 15 years ago it was a bold move for the Illinois hospital serving a rural area an hour north of St. Louis. Now, executives from other hospitals seek Jersey’s advice about opening their own fitness facilities where future patients can lift weights, swim laps and do aerobics.

“The center has really helped keep me active,” said Meuth, who takes a dance-fitness class for seniors. “I’ve met a lot of good friends out there that I wouldn’t have met otherwise.”

The Illinois Hospital Association report finds that hospitals contribute $83.4 billion to the state’s economy in direct and indirect spending. In nearly half the state’s counties, hospitals are among the top three employers, writing paychecks to the equivalent of 200,226 full-time workers and indirectly spurring employment for another 250,000 workers.

The association shared the report with The Associated Press ahead of its official re-

lease on Monday. The report calculated hospitals’ economic benefit using a system developed by the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis.

The report lists services provided in 2012 by hospitals or through a hospital’s joint venture: • 53 percent of Illinois hospitals provided hospice services.

• 41 percent provided ambulance services.

• 41 percent provided freestanding outpatient care.

• 35 percent provided home health care.

• 34 percent operated fitness centers.

• 33 percent provided dentistry.

Inpatient revenue, or dollars earned from hospital stays, is declining as a percentage of hospitals’ total revenue with outpatient services bringing in a bigger portion of the total. Last year, less than half of Advocate Health Care’s revenue came from inpatient care, said Scott Powder, Advocate senior vice president and chief strategy officer.

By KELLI KENNEDY The Associated Press MIAMI – Breast cancer survivor Ginny Mason was thrilled to get health coverage under the Affordable Care Act despite her pre-existing condition. But when she realized her arthritis medication fell under a particularly costly tier of her plan, she was forced to switch to another brand.

Under the plan, her Celebrex would have cost $648 a month until she met her $1,500 prescription deductible, followed by an $85 monthly co-pay.

Mason is one of the many Americans with serious illnesses – including cancer, multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis – who are indeed finding relatively low monthly premiums under President Barack Obama’s law. But some have been shocked at how much their prescriptions are costing as insurers are sorting drug prices into a complex tier system and in some cases charging co-insurance rates as high as 50 percent. That can leave patients on the hook for thousands.

“I was grateful for the Affordable Care Act because it didn’t turn me down but ... it’s like where’s the affordable on this one,” said Mason, a 61-year-old from West Lafayette, Ind., who currently pays an $800 monthly premium.

Before the federal health law took effect, Mason paid slightly more for her monthly premium on a plan that didn’t cover her arthritis or pain medications and some routine doctor’s visits.

Avalere Health, a market research and consulting firm, estimates some consumers will pay half the cost of their specialty drugs under health overhaul-related plans, while customers in the private market typically pay no more

“I was grateful for the Affordable Care Act because it didn’t turn me down but ... it’s like where’s the affordable on this one.”

Ginny Mason West Lafayette, Ind., native who currently pays an $800 monthly premium

than a third. Patient advocates worry that insurers may be trying to discourage chronically ill patients from enrolling by putting high cost drugs onto specialty tiers.

Brian Rosen, senior vice president for public policy for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, said the group studied premiums and benefits for patients with blood cancer in seven states, including Florida, California, Texas and New York. They found 50 percent co-insurance rates for specialty drugs on several plans in Florida and Texas, while the highest co-insurance rates on California plans were 30 percent and in New York, co-pays were typically $70.

Under the law, insurers can’t charge an individual more than $6,350 in out-of pocket costs a year and no more than $12,700 for a family policy. But patients advocates warn those with serious illnesses could pay their entire out-of-pocket cap before their insurance kicks in any money.

“The challenge is for the sickest patients, the ones that need access to these specialty drugs, the costs are going to come in most cases from that out of pocket cap ... they are likely to hit that $6,350 ceiling and in some cases quickly,” said Rosen.

Insurers say prescription drugs are one of the main

reasons health care costs are rising.

“Spending on specialty drugs is growing rapidly. It’s unsustainable,” said Clare Krusing, spokeswoman for America’s Health Insurance Plans, a trade group that represents the private insurance industry.

Only 1 percent of prescriptions written in 2012 were for specialty drugs, but they accounted for 25 percent of the total cost of prescription drugs, according to a study by America’s Health Insurance Plans.

Insurers can generally choose to put whichever drugs they want into the specialty tier of a plan. Generic drugs for blood pressure or cholesterol typically fall into categories that require patients to pay less than $20 out-of-pocket. But patients can end up spending significantly more when they pay for a percentage of a specialty drug’s cost.

Two of the most frequently prescribed specialty drugs in recent years include the cancer drug Avastin, with an $11,000 average annual price per patient, or the hypertension drug like Letairis, which costs $32,000 per year, according to health insurers.

Even before the Affordable Care Act took effect, insurers had increasingly begun requiring patients to pay a percentage of the drug costs instead of a flat co-pay, but experts say patients often spend more for their prescriptions in plans offered under the health law because of the co-insurance.

“There’s a significant percentage of plans who are using co-insurance of 50 percent or higher,” said Caroline Pearson, who tracks the health care overhaul for Avalere Health, which studied plans in 19 states.

“It is generally a lot higher than what we see in private insurance.”

Appeals court halts gay marriages in Michigan

By EMMA FIDEL The Associated Press MASON, Mich. – Same-sex couples rushed to Michigan county clerk’s offices Saturday to get hitched a day after a judge overturned the state’s constitutional ban on gay marriage, and several hundred managed to do so before an appeals court reinstituted the ban, at least temporarily.

The order by a federal appeals court in Cincinnati came after Glenna DeJong, 53, and Marsha Caspar, 51, of Lansing, were the first to arrive at the Ingham County Courthouse in the central Michigan city of Mason. DeJong and Caspar, who have been together for 27 years, received their license and were married by Ingham County Clerk Barb Byrum.

“I figured in my lifetime it would happen,” Caspar said.

“But now, when it happens now, it’s just overwhelming.

I still can’t believe it. I don’t think it’s hit me yet.”

Similar nuptials followed one after another, at times en masse, in at least four of Michigan’s 83 counties. Those four – Oakland, Muskegon, Ingham and Washtenaw counties – issued more than 300 marriage licenses to same-sex couples Saturday.

DeJong said the threat of a stay was all the encourage-

ment they needed.

“Come Monday, we might not be able to do it, so we knew we had a short window of time,” she said.

She was right. Later Saturday, the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals froze until at least Wednesday a decision by a lower court judge to overturn Michigan’s ban. The appeals court said the time-out will “allow a more reasoned consideration” of the state’s request to stop same-sex marriages.

The court’s order was posted just a few hours after it told the winning side to respond to Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette’s request for a stay by noon Tuesday.

In his appeal, Schuette noted the U.S. Supreme Court in January suspended a similar decision that struck down Utah’s gay-marriage ban.

Voters approved the gay marriage ban in a landslide in 2004. But in Friday’s historic decision, U.S. District Judge Bernard Friedman said the ballot box is no defense to a law that tramples the rights of same-sex couples.

Schuette’s spokeswoman, Joy Yearout, said Saturday that a stay would preserve a state constitutional ban pending the appeal’s outcome. She declined to say whether the state would recognize the new marriages in that scenario.

Millions of kids to test with new Common Core legislation that would delay implementation – and testing – under Common Core for two years, but that proposal hasn’t been taken up in the Senate.

Common Core supporters hope the field tests provide an opportunity to highlight the best of Common Core.

“There’s been a lot of talk and a lot of planning and it’s actually happening, which I think generates some excitement and some reality, if you will, for the fact that this is moving ahead,” said Jeffrey Nellhaus, director of research, policy and design with the consortium Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers, or PARCC. Joe Willhoft, the executive director of the Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium, told reporters there will be snags, and that’s in part because of the nature of what a field test is – a test run and an opportunity to see what works and doesn’t. Already, out of concern there would be technical problems, Smarter Balanced delayed by a week to this

By KIMBERLY HEFLING The Associated Press WASHINGTON – What’s on the new Common Core-based exams? More than 4 million kids in U.S. schools soon will have a clue.

Field testing begins this coming week in 36 states and the District of Columbia on assessments developed by two different groups of states.

Participating students will be asked to sit for hours in front of a computer or use a No. 2 pencil to answer questions.

But there’s no need for kids to worry. The scores won’t count, this time. The actual exam-testing won’t be used for another year.

The Common Core standards spell out what math and English skills students should have at each grade, and are designed to develop more critical thinking skills than traditional school work. They were first pushed by governors concerned about the large number of high school graduates needing remedial college help

The field tests, to be conducted until June, are a big step forward in the push to more fully integrate the new academic standards into the school environment. They will give education officials a chance to judge things such as the quality of each test question and the technical capabilities of schools to administer

the tests, which are computer-based but also will be available on paper.

But they also come as the standards face political pushback in many states Indiana lawmakers, for example, last year paused implementation of the standards and a measure ending the state’s participation is at the governor’s desk. House lawmakers in Tennessee passed

“We have a saying in Smarter Balanced that if nothing goes wrong in the field test, then actually we have failed,” Willhoft said.

While opposition to the standards has been multi-dimensional, some critics take issue with the tests and how the results will be used because the tests are designed to replace the annual assessments given in states.

Also complicating matters are the new teacher evaluation systems rolling out in many states that rely, in part, on student performance on annual exams. Questions have been raised about when or if the Common Core-based assessments should count on these evaluations.

Two men hoist a Russian flag on a military vehicle after storming the base Saturday in Novofedorivka, some 30 miles west of Simferopol, Crimea. On Saturday, a crowd stormed the Novofedorivka base. men, who sang the Ukrainian national anthem and then stood at ease. He then told his men to put their weapons in the base’s armory.

A few hours before, Mamchur attended a wedding between two lieutenants serving at Belbek. Soldiers drank champagne and toasted the couple, despite the looming threat of a raid on the base.

Earlier, a crowd stormed the Novofedorivka base, about 30 miles west of Crimea’s capital, Simferopol, Ukraine’s Defense Ministry said.

Ukrainian TV station TSN said troops inside the base

hurled smoke grenades in an attempt to disperse groups of burly young men attempting to break through the front gates.

There were conflicting reports about whether the base was eventually taken over.

The Russian Defense Ministry says that as of late Friday, less than 2,000 of 18,000 Ukrainian servicemen in Crimea had “expressed a desire to leave for Ukraine.” The ministry, however, stopped short of saying the remainder of the troops would serve in the Russian army.

No similar information has been forthcoming from

Ukraine’s authorities, who have been criticized by servicemen marooned in Crimea, some of whom have complained to media that they have been given no clear instructions on what they should be doing.

Elsewhere, more than 5,000 pro-Russia residents of a major city in Ukraine’s east demonstrated in favor of holding a referendum similar to the one carried out in Crimea.

The apparent ease with which Russia has managed to take control over Crimea has ignited concerns for Ukraine’s government that elements in the mainly Russian-speaking east will agitate for a similar move.

Russia has brought large military contingents to areas near the border with eastern Ukraine. Putin has said there is no intention to move into eastern Ukraine, but the prospect of violence between pro- and anti-secession groups in the east could be used as a pretext for sending in troops.

Valentina Matvienko, the speaker of the upper house of the Russian parliament and a close Putin ally, said Saturday there is no intention to absorb other regions of Ukraine, according to the ITAR-Tass news agency.

Chinese satellite detects object in jet search area The ASSOCIATED PRESS KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia – Search planes headed back out to a desolate patch of the southern Indian Ocean on Sunday in hopes of finding answers to the fate of the missing Malaysia Airlines jet, after China released a satellite image showing a large object floating in the search zone.

The object, which appeared to be 72 feet by 43 feet, was captured by satellite on Tuesday in a location that falls within the search zone that planes and ships have been crisscrossing since similar images from another satellite emerged earlier in the week. But officials have found no trace of it.

Australian Maritime Safety Authority spokeswoman Andrea Hayward-Maher said she did not know whether the precise coordinates of the location had been searched, but said officials would use the information to refine the search area on Sunday.

The maritime authority, which is overseeing the search in the region, said a civil aircraft reported seeing a number of small objects in the 14,000-square-mile area on Saturday, including a wooden pallet, but a New Zealand military plane diverted to the location found only clumps of seaweed. The agency said in a statement that searchers would keep trying to determine whether the objects are

related to the lost plane.

Despite the frustrating lack of answers, Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott on Sunday suggested the sightings were a positive development.

“Obviously we have now had a number of very credible leads and there is increasing hope – no more than hope, no more than hope – that we might be on the road to discovering what did happen to this ill-fated aircraft,” Abbott told reporters in Papua New Guinea.

Three planes left a base near Perth in western Australia early Sunday to make the four-hour journey out to the search region, Hayward-Maher said. A total of eight aircraft will be involved Sunday,

along with the HMAS Success, an Australian navy supply ship, she said.

A cold front was forecast to move through the region later Sunday, which could bring clouds and wind, further hampering efforts to locate the plane.

The latest satellite image is another clue in the baffling search for Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, which dropped off air traffic control screens March 8 over the Gulf of Thailand with 239 people on board.

After about a week of confusion, Malaysian authorities said pings sent by the Boeing 777-200 for several hours after it disappeared indicated that the plane ended up in one of two huge arcs: a northern cor-

ridor stretching from Malaysia to Central Asia, or a southern corridor that stretches toward Antarctica.

The discovery of the initial two objects by a satellite led several countries to send planes and ships to a stretch of the Indian Ocean about 1,550 miles southwest of Australia.

But three days of searching have produced no confirmed signs of the plane.

One of the objects spotted in the earlier satellite imagery was described as almost 80 feet in length and the other was 15 feet.

The Boeing 777-200 is about 209 feet long with a wingspan of 199 feet and a fuselage about 20 feet in diameter, according to Boeing’s website.

BELBEK AIR BASE, Crimea – Ukraine’s armed forces took what may prove to be one of their final stands Saturday in Crimea, as pro-Russian forces stormed and seized control of an air force base amid a barrage of gunfire and explosions.

A tense blockade of the Belbek air base that has endured for more than a week looked set for an inevitable culmination following the seizure of one Ukrainian-held military facility after another in recent days.

It was the last major Ukrainian military facility in Crimea to fall into the hands of pro-Russian forces. The Ukrainian Defense Ministry hasn’t provided details of how many bases it still controls on the peninsula.

Crimea residents voted last week to secede from Ukraine and join Russia – a process that was formalized this week with the blessing of President Vladimir Putin. The vote, which was held under conditions akin to martial law under the gaze of apparently Moscow-led militia forces, has been rejected as illegitimate by the international community.

The assault on the Belbek base mirrored events at other Ukrainian-held military facili-

ties on the peninsula in recent days.

In footage provided by the Ukrainian Defense ministry, a Russian-made BTR-80 armored personnel carrier could be seen smashing open a front gate at Belbek, a base across the bay from the port city of Sevastopol.

APCs crashed through walls at two other locations and were followed by armed personnel, who advanced in crouching position as they secured the area.

Four BTR-80s were involved in the assault, Ukrainian officials said.

Ukrainian troops offered no resistance. Later, a separate motley group arrived at the scene. The crowd appeared to be made up of professional soldiers, members of a recently-formed militia unit and Cossacks.

The cause of the explosions wasn’t immediately clear, although Ukrainian officials said they were stun grenades used to disperse any potential resistance.

Two ambulances arrived and then departed shortly after. Ukraine’s Defense Ministry said one reporter and a Ukrainian soldier were injured in the raid.

After the takeover, Belbek base commander Col. Yuliy Mamchur called together his

The Russian Google, Puerto Rican bonds Dear Mr. Berko: I was able to buy the 8.7 percent Puerto Rican general obligation bonds at par, and they quickly rose to a premium. That’s a great interest rate, and your thoughts on the long-term safety of these bonds will determine whether I buy more for my municipal bond portfolio. I also want to speculate with a Russian Internet stock. Most Russian stocks are down since the Ukrainian crisis, and I’d like to take a shot with two Russian issues that have real revenues and earnings. I can afford the risks.

– HO, Joliet Dear HO: I don’t know much about Russian stocks, but I know enough to tell you that many successful Russian companies end up as subsidiaries of the Russian Politburo, or in the portfolios of Vladimir Putin and comrades. Yandex (YNDX$32.06), often called the Google of Russia, has more than 60 percent of the Russian search engine market, and that number is growing bystro. It does most of the things Google does, but it does them in Russian. Before the Ukrainian brouhaha, YNDX traded in the mid-$40s, and I really like this Russian company.

It’s home-ported in the Netherlands, far away from Moscow and the corruptive influence of most Russian companies, which genetically suffer from questionable balance sheets and comic income statements.

Meanwhile, YNDX’s revenue growth has been phenomenal – leaping from $9 billion in 2009 to an estimated $51 billion this year and maybe $62 billion in 2015. And there’s no Mickey Mousing with the income statement; YNDX should earn $1.30 this year and perhaps will earn $1.81 in 2015, and it has 360 million shares outstanding, with just $500 million in longterm debt.

Meanwhile, the Russian influence in Ukraine is little different from the blatant U.S. hegemony in Latin America and the Middle East during the John Foster Dulles years. So the 35 percent drop in YNDX is probably temporary. And Credit Suisse, HSBC and Bank of America are recommending the stock with a short-term target of $45.

TAKING STOCK Malcolm Berko I don’t know how you were able to buy those new Puerto Rican bonds, but you made a good score – temporarily. I rang an acquaintance at Morgan Stanley (one of the underwriters) a week before the initial public offering. He said that the issue was oversubscribed, that the interest rate on the long bonds was originally 9.4 percent and that the underwriting group was raising the initial subscription amount from $3 billion to $3.5 billion because the demand was so strong. He also said the issue was primarily sold to institutions and that the minimum purchase was $100,000. You must have a good friend somewhere, because an 8.7 percent tax-free coupon made this a hot issue that rose immediately to a handsome premium. So did this friend tell you that in the likely event that Puerto Rico’s financial conditions don’t improve soon, it will have to implement emergency measures, including restructuring (extending maturities) and a debt moratorium?

Did he also tell you that Puerto Rico will not reduce its deficit this year, and that this $3.5 billion issue will sustain the island for only two years?

Did he tell you that the Puerto Rican economy has shrunk by 16.2 percent since 2006, that unemployment is 14.3 percent and that labor force participation is among the lowest in the world? Do you know that young professionals (doctors, engineers, teachers) are leaving the island in droves, that 2013 consumer sales and use taxes of $513 million are down from $802 million in 2009, that the island’s tax base is shrinking and that the Legislative Assembly is as crooked as a shillelagh? So, HO, rather than buy more of these bonds, you should consider unloading them in the next year.

OUR VIEW

Don’t get distracted by rhetoric SHAW MEDIA Illinois’ dire fiscal situation is well-documented.

It’s public pension systems are underfunded by more than $1 billion.

The state ended its last fiscal year with more than $7 billion in unpaid bills.

Illinois has the nation’s second-highest property taxes, the fourth-highest corporate tax rate in the industrialized world, and the fourth-highest workers’ compensation costs in the nation.

It has the second highest unemployment rate in the country, and the worst credit rating of all 50 states.

These are the facts, and they aren’t pretty.

These also are the issues that voters must focus on as the campaign for governor now turns to two people – Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn and Republican challenger Bruce Rauner.

In the months leading up to the Nov. 4 general election, expect to hear tons of campaign rhetoric from both sides. A lot of it will be nothing but noise, meant to distract voters from the issues that matter.

But don’t be distracted.

Tune out the nonsense and focus on each candidate’s plans to return Illinois to a fiscally solvent state.

Who has the best plan to balance the budget?

Who is going to best help over-burdened taxpayers, whose homes are under water and wallets are bare?

Who is going to bring jobs back to Illinois because his economic policies make more sense?

Who is going to make Illinois competitive again with its neighboring states?

Who has the best plan to lead Illinois out of its fiscal woes and into a better, more financially responsible future?

These are the questions voters must ask as they evaluate Quinn and Rauner prior to the general election.

Illinois is in bad shape right now. In November, voters must decide who has the best chance to lead the state out of the abyss.

Transparency beyond web pages The Village of Romeoville remains committed to enhancing transparency as well as increasing public engagement.

While we appreciate the recommendations provided by Illinois Policy Institute (as detailed in the article “Romeoville last in gov’t transparency” that appeared on page 6 of the Friday, March 21, 2014, edition of The Herald-News), we are also very proud of the many resources we already offer our citizens.

Some of these resources include E- newsletters, Coffee with the Mayor, Ride Around Town with the Mayor, live broadcasting of Village Board Meetings and other information programs, resident committees, neighborhood town hall forums, text messaging service and usage of online resources, including social media outlets like Facebook,

VIEWS John Noak Twitter and YouTube.

Our website offers a vast amount of information that is not offered by some of the communities ranked by Illinois Policy Institute. Some unique resources that are offered that may not have been included in the report are links to full online videos of village board meetings, YouTube links to a variety of public service announcements and an enhanced E- Government System, which improves citizen services by directly linking their requests to the appropriate staff member.

This enhanced system also

allows the tracking of inquiries and service request for continued follow up and better customer service.

We should all agree that transparency can only benefit a community as it provides information to our residents and offers more involvement in the decision making process. The Village of Romeoville is committed to a comprehensive approach beyond just its webpage and the 10- Point Transparency Checklist.

We have already implemented some of the recommendations given by Illinois Policy Institute and will continue to look for new and more innovative ways to enhance transparency in the future.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR When a bonus is not a bonus

A school with bragging rights

More of the ‘us government’ needed

To the Editor: Isaac Singleton Elementary on Joliet’s Southeast Side is truly extraordinary. I’ve had the privilege of mentoring a child there for three years and began working there as a substitute teacher in the 20132014 school year. The principal at the helm, Ms. Linda Scott, put the extra in the ordinary and keeps it there. She employs teachers and secretarial staff that follow her lead.

Picture this: Students grades Pre-K to fifth walk in near silence wherever they go: physical education, art, lunch, dismissal. They are typical kids in their desire to “mess around,” but the desire to comply with school rules wins out. When they reach a hallway or flight of stairs, they stop and wait for their teacher’s OK to keep moving. You might think they look solemn, but their smiles are wide and many.

“It’s really true what they say,” I frequently think. “Children like rules and boundaries.”

They learn self-control and they learn that consequences occur when they act disorderly. They learn that there is a sense of safety in following a routine: no surprises. Whereas home life may be chaotic and rule-less, school life is predictable. And Ms. Scott both knows them and likes them.

She knows the families: the moms, the dads, the brothers, the sisters, the aunties, the uncles. Do the kids tremble if they’re sent to the office? You bet! But the knowledge that their principal likes and cares about them adds some sugar to the “spoonful of vinegar” her words can produce.

Singleton Elementary isn’t a magnet school, and it isn’t a private school. It is a grade school in Joliet’s public school system that raises the bar by putting the extra in the ordinary.

To the Editor: OK, let’s start getting ready for the next step in saving our country. The next thing to start working on is the November elections.

“Republicans,” please don’t make the same mistake twice. Forget any splits in the party and the fact the “Secular Progressives” will try to help you to keep arguing amongst yourselves. It is time for you to get together and support your candidates anyway you can.

Moderate Democrats take a good look at what is happening to our wonderful country.

Please don’t let the “Secular Progressives” run us into the ground anymore than they have already. I know you love our country so let’s get these people out of office and work together to get back on the right track.

“Leading from Behind” doesn’t work. “We the People” need to update our Constitution to include term limits, flat tax, etc. Folks we need less government and more of “us government.”

It drives me crazy to see what the Russians are up to and the way we are letting them get away with it. We are doing the same thing the Socialists in our government did after World War II. Trying to play nice with people who want to destroy us. We gave away the store then and we are doing it again.

Just as a reminder: President Dwight Eisenhower, on Aug. 24, 1954, signed the “Communist Control Act” (68 Stat.775 U.S.C. 841-884). This was one of many acts drafted with the intention of protecting America from the potential threat of Communist influence.

I’m not sure if these laws are still active but it would be a good idea to check it out and see if some of the things going on in government today violate any of them.

To the Editor: The (Joliet) Herald-News’ editorial, “Unlucky 13 for taxpayers,” (Feb. 21, 2014) characterized a retirement benefit paid by IMRF as a “bonus.” The editorial There’s a huge difference in the kind of home care you can receive from also implied this “bonus” money someone who really understands what your life is like as a senior.

2014 HERALD-NEWS ALL-AREA GIRLS BASKETBALL PLAYER OF THE YEAR

Lumpkin leads state run for Joliet Catholic Academy

By DICK GOSS dgoss@shawmedia.com fter her junior season at Joliet Catholic, Jasmine Lumpkin knew a few things about herself.

The 6-foot forward could score from inside against just about anyone, she could rebound and she was on track for a big-time college basketball career.

She also knew she wanted to improve her midrange game and do whatever was needed to propel the Angels to a state championship.

Lumpkin finished this season on the doorstep of achieving all her goals. She signed with Michigan State, selected to first-team All-State and led JCA to the IHSA Class 3A state championship game at Illinois State University, although the 59-44 loss there to Montini could be considered a bit of a letdown.

“It was a tough pill to swallow, but the journey was amazing,” said Lumpkin, the Player of the Year on the Herald-News All-Area Girls Basketball Team.

She made a definite impression on her coach, Ed Schodrof.

“Jasmine is the most complete player I have had since I’ve been coaching,” he said. “She is the consummate person, student and basketball player.

“She has become more and more of a leader. She leads more vocally this year.”

On a team that started All-Area sophomore guard Nicole Ekhomu and freshman forwards Ty Battle and Jnaya Walker, talented in their own right, Lumpkin provided the encouragement. She felt it her responsibility to light the fire under her young teammates.

While accomplishing that, she averaged more than 18 points and nine rebounds.

She also averaged three steals as she menaced opponents from the point of the Angels’

‘THE JOURNEY WAS AMAZING’

• Sunday, March 23, 2014 Lathan Goumas – lgoumas@shawmedia.com

Joliet Catholic Academy’s Jasmine Lumpkin has been selected The Herald-News Girls Basketball Player of the Year. The 6-foot senior helped lead her team to a second place finish in the Illinois High School Association Class 3A state finals.

1-3-1 halfcourt trap.

In addition, she shot about 48 percent from the floor while moving away from the basket and developing the midrange game. As the season progressed, she became more adept at receiving a pass near the high post, taking a dribble or two, stopping and draining the jumper.

“After last year, I wanted to work a lot on my mid-range game,” she said. “Playing the high post was something new on the table and I feel good about how it went, although there’s always room for improvement.

“I’ll be a small forward, a wing player, in college, so getting better this year with the mid-range game will help that.”

“From 15 feet in Jasmine was really good this year,” Schodrof said. “That was one weakness from last year that

She could get her shot off and hit it this year.”

Lumpkin’s dad, Jerry Lumpkin, played basketball at Westinghouse in Chicago, and she always has liked the game. There was a time, how-

ever, until she was in seventh grade at John F. Kennedy Middle School in Plainfield, when she enjoyed cheerleading just as much.

“I knew basketball is my game, though,” she said. “I am where I am because I have

worked hard at it.”

The trip to state was not Lumpkin’s first. She played her first two high school years at Montini and helped the Broncos to a state championship in 2012. For the rest of the Angels, playing at Redbird Arena was different.

“She was the one who experienced going to state before, even more than some of the coaches, and she brought that to the table,” Schodrof said. “If there was something that needed to be said, she said it right away.”

That was in line with the development of her leadership skills.

“We had very good chemistry,” she said. “That makes basketball fun. When you’re winning like we did this year, it’s a great mix.”

The journey was amazing, for the Angels and their Player of the Year.

By CURT HERRON cherron@shawmedia.com ROMEOVILLE – The Lewis University’s men’s volleyball team was hoping to close out a three-match week with a home victory over Penn State on Saturday.

While things started out well, the No. 14 Nittany Lions bounced back from an opening-set loss to win, 21-25, 25-19, 26-24, 25-20, against the No. 10 Flyers at Neil Carey Arena.

Despite going 1-2 during the week, Lewis prefers to focus on a big week ahead where it hosts IPFW on Thursday and plays at Ball State on Saturday in two key Midwestern Intercollegiate Volleyball Association matches.

“They dug a few more balls,

had some second-chance opportunities and served a little better and passed a little better than we did,” Lewis coach Dan Friend said. “Ultimately, that’s the tale of the match.

“We have two big, important conference matches this week. One’s at home and one’s away and we have to get wins to put us in the position that we want to be so that we can host as many matches as possible in the MIVA tournament.”

Things were tied at 16-16 in the fourth set following a kill

by Greg Petty but Penn State (15-6) moved in front for good following back-to-back kills from Nick Goodell.

After Petty got another kill to pull the Flyers (15-6) to within 18-17, the Nittany

Lions rattled off five straight points to take control for good.

A net serve and net violation led to the first two points and two aces from Goodell and a wide hit resulted in the other points before Petty recorded a kill.

The Flyers twice pulled to within four points but Aaron Russell closed out with his 21st and 22nd kills to wrap things up for the Nittany Lions.

Penn State also received 19 kills from Goodell and 11 kills from Peter Russell while Taylor Hammond had 50 assists and tied Goodell with a matchhigh 11 digs.

Lewis was paced by 17 kills from Geoff Powell while Petty added 14 kills and Eric Fitterer had 11 kills. BJ Boldog

handed out 47 assists while Lucas Yanez had seven digs and Powell added six digs.

“It’s tough, but they just came out and played a good game,” said Boldog of the Nittany Lions. “We didn’t do what we needed to do defensively. We came out hard but it’s just a case of remaining consistent all the way through the match.

“Next week is huge for us.

We know what we need to work on now. We need to stay consistent and to clean it up a little bit.”

In the third set, the Flyers tied things at 22-22 after a kill

by Petty but the Lions used a kill and an ace from Aaron Russell, who had eight kills in that set, to take a two-point lead.

AHEAD OF HER TIME

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

J

OLIET – If Kathleen Bolden – founder of the Warren-Sharpe Community Center in Joliet – were still alive, she’d probably be championing ways to improve health care among the poor.

Kathleen was a resident of Joliet’s south side her entire life and believed in working hard to improve life for her friends and Kathleen neighbors, Bolden according to Kathleen’s daughter, Kay Bolden of Joliet. Kay is the center’s current executive director.

Kay captured her mother’s zeal in a recently released series of essays by family and friends entitled, “She Lives in You: The Kathleen Bolden Story.” Kay will be signing copies of the book April 2 at Lewis University in Romeoville.

“What’s special about her is that she wasn’t born into wealth or privilege. She was just a woman who grew up here,” Kay said. “Every single day, we try to make clear to the kids at the center that each one of us can make a difference. That’s who she was.”

Many of the recollections were as inspiring to Kay as she hopes they will be to the readers.

“So many people told me things she had done for them or things she was involved in and I had no idea she had done them,” Kay said.

Kay wrote her mother’s life story for two reasons.

One was to introduce Kathleen’s grandchildren, great-grandchildren and community members to the inspirational “force of nature” who was her mother.

The second was to continue Kathleen’s mission of improving the daily lives of

Kay Bolden, executive director of the Warren-Sharpe Community Center in Joliet, holds a copy of her book commemorating Kathleen Bolden, her mother and the center’s founder. residents on Joliet’s south side. All book proceeds will benefit programs at the Warren-Sharpe Community Center, the main focus of Kathleen’s later years, and one that is now bursting with programs.

These include a low-cost preschool, summer day camp, free after-school programs, counseling, parent support groups, job training and a food pantry, which Kay hopes to eventually support with the installation of a community garden.

“I see growth every year,” Kay said. “The center is a busy place.”

Kathleen, Kay said, was an activist from “way back.”

As a black girl growing up in 1940s Joliet, Kathleen experienced plenty of racism and became involved in the Civil Rights Movement in the 1950s and 1960s.

Not until she had married Judge Raymond Bolden of Joliet and had three children

did Kathleen enroll in Joliet Junior College and then Lewis University in Romeoville, where Kathleen received her bachelor’s degree in sociology.

Kay said her mother was in the first co-ed class of the former all-male institution and became involved in Lewis University’s black student union. Kathleen eventually received her master’s degree in guidance and counseling from Governors State University in University Park.

Kathleen then returned to Lewis University to teach, Kay said.

“Now it’s very commonplace for people to go back to school but she was 10 years ahead of her time,” Kay said.

“That was just her personality and we tried very hard to portray that in the book.”

By the late 1980s, Kay said, Joliet’s south side was reflecting the area’s economic change. Plants and factories were closing and

Book released about founder of Joliet community center beneits programs leaving town, Kay said, and the neighborhood went from “working class Italian” to “poor and black.”

“People tried to get her to move to the west side but she would not do it,” Kay said. “The kids in the neighborhood were turning to gangs and drugs. She felt she needed to stay here and create something for them to live for.”

In 1991, when the rest of the city seemed to have adopted an atmosphere of “zero tolerance” for these young offenders, Kay said, Kathleen acquired a former Warren YMCA building and opened its doors with a strong message to the area’s youth.

That message, Kay said, was this: “Everyone is welcome here. Everyone is safe here. No matter what is going on outside, we will not judge you; we will love you.

We will do our best to show you a different way to live your life. We will have people here as an example for you and people here to help you when you are ready.”

The first few years were rough, Kay said, as her mother’s mission of reaching gang kids was not a popular one.

Ironically Kathleen, who possessed such a huge heart for her community, battled a weakened physical heart, a side effect of childhood rheumatic fever, Kay said.

Although Kathleen died suddenly in 1994, Kay, still living in the family home on Joliet’s south side, continues her mother’s vision.

Kay wishes her mother could see how kids who once came to the center are now enrolled in college and volunteering their time as tutors.

She hopes to expand the tutoring to include a greater emphasis on math and science, especially for the girls.

“We don’t want them trapped in the cycle of poverty,” Kay said. “It’s important for them to see there is a way out.”

CELEBRITY CIPHER

This season’s Christmas Competition drew a record entry, perhaps because many answered the declarer-play problem correctly. And some gave slight variations on the published solution that were also accurate.

After I checked all the answers to the subsidiary questions, the best entry came from Moray King of Orem, Utah. Tied for second were Craig Cordes of Baton Rouge, La.; Bruce Perry of Riverview, New Brunswick, Canada; and Jim Ritts of Knoxville, Tenn.

Everyone who got the first question right is named on my website (phillipalderbridge. com).

Now let’s look at today’s deal, in which responder has his sixth really weak hand of the week. It could have been right to pass over two no-trump, which showed a good 22 to 24 points.

But with a five-card major and a couple of points, it was reasonable to transfer into spades, then rebid three no-trump to offer a choice of games. South, since he had three spades and no diamond stopper, preferred four spades. (Note that the defenders should take five diamond tricks against three no-trump.)

South loses the first two tricks in diamonds. Let’s assume the defenders shift to a heart.

How should declarer continue?

South can afford one trump loser, not two. He should plan to take two spade finesses. At trick three, declarer overtakes his heart jack with dummy’s queen (entry one) and plays a spade to his jack. West wins and returns a heart. South takes the trick, ruffs his last diamond on the board (entry two), plays a spade to his 10, cashes the spade ace, and claims.

Teen fights depression despite grades Dear Abby: I’m a 15-year-old boy in ninth grade. I have depression, and I don’t know what to do. I always feel like I’m not good enough for anything, even though I have had a 4.0 GPA since seventh grade. I have repeatedly cut myself, but I wear a bracelet so no one can see it.

I don’t want my family to find out because I’m afraid they will treat me like a poor little kid who is too easily offended. I don’t know what to do or who I can go to for help. Thank you for any help you can give me. – Drowning In Despair Dear Drowning: When a person is experiencing so much emotional pain that he (or she) is self-injuring, it’s time to get professional help to deal with it.

Ideally, you should be able to talk to your parents about the depth and duration of your depression. But because you feel you

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips can’t, talk with a trusted teacher or counselor at school about it, or an adult relative you feel close enough to confide it to. Cutting is not the answer because it only brings temporary relief from the issues you have that need resolving.

I care about you, and I’m glad you asked me this question.

Please don’t postpone following my advice.

Dear Abby: My wife and I are retired. Everything was great until about six months ago, when things radically changed.

The issue is I stopped shaving every day. I did it when I was working, but I don’t feel the need to do it now. My wife strongly dis-

approves. She claims my unkempt appearance is a direct, negative reflection on her. I feel it reflects only on me.

I have told her I will shave prior to any social engagement we both attend, as well as public events like civic club, etc. The guys I play cards with also go unshaven.

My wife has threatened to cancel card games with friends, cancel our weekend trip to her brother’s birthday celebration, cancel our upcoming European river cruise, refuses to kiss me and said some things I can’t repeat. Is there anything I can do to appease this lady I love dearly? – Laid Back In Michigan Dear Laid Back: One thing comes to mind – you could shave.

How to cope with chronic fatigue syndrome Dear Doctor K: I have CFS. What is the latest information about the condition, particularly treatments?

Dear Reader: For readers who are not familiar with the condition, CFS stands for chronic fatigue syndrome. Fatigue is a universal human experience. In our increasingly pressured and fast-paced lives, many people feel tired a lot of the time. In fact, fatigue is one of the most common reasons people visit their doctor.

Yet very few people with fatigue are suffering from CFS. It is relatively uncommon, affecting about 4 to 8 out of every thousand adults in the U.S., and a small fraction of teenagers and younger children.

People with CFS experience ongoing, severe, debilitating fatigue that is not relieved by rest. Other symptoms include: Impaired memory or concentration, sore throat, swollen glands, muscle pain, pain in multiple joints, headaches, and exhaustion following physical activity.

We don’t know what causes CFS. People with CFS are more likely than healthy people – and people with other fatigue-causing diseases – to have various abnormalities.

Many have chronic activation of different parts of the immune system. Many have problems with their cells making enough energy. Many have biochemical abnormalities called oxidative and

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff nitrosative stress.

Then there are problems involving the brain that have been found, thanks to brain imaging techniques (MRI, SPECT and PET). Brain hormones often respond differently to challenges.

Electrical brain wave studies often show differences. The autonomic nervous system, the part of the brain that controls basic body functions – such as heart rate, blood pressure and body temperature – often does not work properly. But the abnormalities are not seen in all patients with CFS, and they come and go. What is causing these abnormalities remains uncertain.

A combination of the following strategies may help manage your symptoms: • Set priorities. Make a list of things you want to have more energy to do. Eliminate as many nonessential activities as you can.

But be careful to guard against becoming too passive.

• Exercise. Begin an exercise program in which you gradually increase your activity level. This can effectively reduce the severity of your symptoms.

• Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). CBT is a type of psycho-

therapy. It helps you identify and change negative thoughts and behaviors. CBT can reduce symptoms.

• Tricyclic antidepressants.

Low doses of this type of antidepressant may improve the quality of your sleep, reduce pain, and increase energy.

• Other medications. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and acetaminophen (Tylenol) can help relieve headaches, joint pain and muscle pain.

Fish oil capsules (3,000 mg per day) may also help reduce CFS symptoms.

There are also several experimental treatments in development. These include drugs to treat abnormalities of the autonomic nervous system, to quiet activated parts of the immune system, and antiviral drugs (for people with certain active viral infections).

I am impressed by the progress made in understanding CFS over the past 25 years. It was made possible by research conducted and supported by the National Institutes of Health, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and private foundations. Still, we have a lot more to learn.

He had a couple of habits that I don’t agree with (smoking and drinking), and he was not real handsome and his grammar needed improvement. But I sort of liked him because he made me laugh. He was a real comedian, and I’ve gone out with him about a dozen times since then.

For my 18th birthday, he surprised me with a friendship ring. It had several small diamonds in it, so I had it appraised at a local jewelry store and was shocked to find out that it was valued at over $600.

Greg is unemployed, so I asked him where he got the ring. He told me that it was his grandmother’s and she gave it to him a year ago so he could give it to the girl he might want to marry. I liked the ring, but I will never marry him.

Somehow I didn’t believe him, so I contacted his granny, and she said he had found it and had given it to her, but she thought she had misplaced it. When I told Greg about this, he said that he won the ring in a poker game a year ago.

After doing a little more detective work, I found out that the ring belonged to his ex-girlfriend’s mother and that it had turned up missing after a party at her house. It has great sentimental value. When I presented Greg with this additional information, he said that he didn’t want me to think he was cheap, but he bought it from a guy who was addicted to cocaine and that he paid $20 for it.

What do you think I should do with this ring? I don’t think it would be wise to give it back to Greg. Then the next question is: what should I do about my relationship with

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace Greg? I think I know what you’re going to say. – Nameless, Detroit, Mich.

Dear Nameless: Dump this guy and make sure the ring is returned to the rightful owner immediately – no questions asked. It doesn’t matter which one you do first; just do them both immediately. If you want to avoid questions from the owner, send it in the mail.

Dr. Wallace: I’m in the ninth grade, and most of the time my grades are very good and I enjoy school. I am looking forward to next year and was planning to sign up for Spanish first semester. I just found out that my best friend is planning to take French, so I’m seriously thinking of changing my mind and taking French with her. That way, we could study together and practice the language.

My only problem is that my mother is insisting that I take Spanish because it would be much more useful since we have many Spanish-speaking people in this country.

My dad said I should take Chinese because of the trade between the U.S. and China, but they don’t offer it. What do you think I should do? – Gina. New Orleans, La. Dear Gina: I believe your mother’s reasoning for taking Spanish is correct, and I’d advise you to continue your plans to study Spanish.

You can always add another language to your resume after you learn Spanish.

HOROSCOPE

By BERNICE BEDE OSOL Newspaper Enterprise Association

By MICHAEL O’SULLIVAN The Washington Post It’s rare that a movie is as good as the book on which it’s based. It’s even more unusual when it’s better.

With the film adaptation of “Divergent,” the first novel in Veronica Roth’s trilogy of dystopian thrillers, director Neil Burger (“Limitless”) has crafted a popcorn flick that’s leaner, more propulsive and more satisfying than the bestseller that inspired it.

Screenwriters Evan Daugherty and Vanessa Taylor have cut the fat, picked up the pace and sharpened Roth’s themes celebrating individualism and ingenuity, which were muted in Roth’s somewhat sluggish and overlong telling. Daugherty and Taylor have even come up with an ending that more cleverly utilizes the story’s teenage heroine Tris (Shailene Woodley) without changing the outcome.

It’s still cliffhanger-ish, in a way that makes this first installment of the trilogy feel more like an appetizer than a full meal. But the movie’s plot tweak alleviates the sense of mild disappointment generated by the book’s conclusion.

Set in a post-apocalyptic Chicago that is walled off from the rest of the world by a massive rampart, “Divergent” imagines a society in which the citizenry is divided into five monolithic factions according to personality.

Municipal government is controlled by the Abnegation faction, an ascetic class given to self-sacrifice and altruism.

Candor runs the courts; Amity, a commune of hippielike agrarians, works the fields; and the Erudite pursue scientific advancement. Security is left in the hands of the Dauntless, a group of soldiers so intrepid they might better be called the Young and the Reckless.

It’s the Dauntless faction that Tris joins when, at 16, she is allowed to declare a new allegiance. Although all adolescents are given aptitude tests to determine factional affinity, they are also allowed the opportunity to remain in the community of their birth or to select another, even if the test indicates they are not suited for it.

As you may have guessed by now, Tris – by birth a member of Abnegation – is “divergent,” meaning that she has equal aptitude for more than one

Maggie Q plays Tori and Shailene Woodley plays Beatrice Prior in “Divergent,” an adaptation of the first novel in Veronica Roth’s trilogy of dystopian thrillers; the film is more satisfying than the bestseller that inspired it. faction.

Although that makes her merely human, it also means that she’s harder to corral and must hide her capabilities.

In the world of “Divergent,” it’s human nature that got people into the mess they’re in. Segregating them into neat little pods, not by color, but by character, seems as good – or as bad – a solution as any.

Silly, I know. But the film actually does a pretty good job of articulating this rationale. If the absurd premise sticks in your craw, stay away. All others, sit back and enjoy the parable.

The first part of the film focuses mainly on Tris’ initiation as a member of Dauntless, during which time her unusual skills draw attention, both wanted and unwanted. A handsome, brooding trainer known as Four (Theo James) takes her under his bulging biceps, even as Tris earns closer scrutiny from some jealous recruits.

Later, Tris’ contrariness catches the eye of the evil Erudite leader, Jeanine (Kate Winslet), who is plotting a coup against Abnegation with the help of an army of doped-up

Dauntless robots.

Visually, “Divergent” delights, creating a believably decaying Chicago and using a palette of black, white, blue, gray and saffron costumes to delineate the five factions’ uniform-like clothing. Woodley also makes for an appealingly complex Tris, a heroine whose sense of loss at leaving her family behind – along with her sense of identity – is tempered by the thrill of discovering new powers, both moral and physical.

The book spent a lot of ink exploring the romance between Tris and Four. Even if it didn’t use that relationship to define the young heroine, it seemed to be saying that sexual awakening is as much a part of Tris’ journey as anything.

There’s nothing wrong with that, but the movie serves up an even more fully fleshed version of Tris. She’s fascinating for what she does, not merely for whom she likes.

• “Divergent” recevied three stars, and is rated PG-13 for violence, some obscenity and disturbing thematic material. It runs 130 minutes.

TODAY – Don’t just think about it – take control of your destiny this year. Collaborative efforts will not offer the most beneficial opportunities.

Have faith in your abilities and do what comes naturally. Step to the forefront, because it’s time to show the world what you have to offer.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Take a look at the bigger picture. You can broaden your horizons by getting involved in new interests. Staying well-informed will give you a better understanding of different people and cultures.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – You will be approached by someone wanting details of your investment dealings. Don’t gamble.

Ignore promises of instant financial rewards, and keep your money matters private.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – You may have a false impression of the circumstances surrounding you. Get all the facts before you make any accusations or declarations, or you could damage your reputation.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Advancement or a change in career could be coming your way. Your peers are very impressed with your accomplishments, and new employment opportunities will soon open up.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Show your competitive side to come out on top of any challenge you face. Break away from your routine and try an unconventional project to highlight your creative talents.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – There is some conflict going on around you. Zero in on your own objectives, or you may be caught up in the middle of an unpleasant emotional situation.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Set your sights on a particular goal. You have all of the talent necessary to succeed, but you may have to resort to some unorthodox methods to get what you want.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Even though you work hard, you may fall short of your objectives. To speed up your progress, develop a different method to achieve your goals.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Rather than depress yourself by reliving past problems, set your sights on the future. Decide what is needed in order to enjoy life to the fullest, and go for it.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – You need to be proactive to exploit an opportunity that comes your way. Stress your qualifications and achievements, and you will make a good impression.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Don’t sit at home feeling lonely. Congeniality will be instrumental in helping you make new friends.

Consider reconnecting with someone you can share fond memories with.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – It’s time to make a clean sweep. Put your affairs in order and donate or dispose of unwanted objects.

Refresh your environment, and your mind will feel refreshed as well.

‘Divergent’: This time, it cuts to the quick

Is this your idea of a healthy heart?

When you smoke or breathe secondhand smoke, your heart works harder with less oxygen, increasing your risk for cardiovascular diseases. Each year, more than 170,000 people die from smoking-related heart disease, stroke and other cardiovascular diseases but you don’t have to be one of them. Your heart’s health is in your hands.
