Investigators say natural gas sparked Joliet house explosion

Lucky Day Lotto Midday: JOLIET – Investigators determined a buildup of natural gas sparked the explosion that destroyed a house on Monday.

But the cause of the buildup of gas has not yet been traced.

“The cause is still undetermined, but we have ruled out that it was set intentionally,” Fire Chief Joe Formhals said Thursday.

The buildup occurred in the basement of the property in the 700 block of Lambeth Lane.

Formhals said the department and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms concluded their joint investigation and have turned over their findings to an insurance company that will work on the property.

“They’ll be removing all of the appliances from the basement to have them tested at an independent facility,” Formhals said. Fire investigator reports noted the furnace of the home was installed recently.

Just before 2 p.m. Monday,

Investigators look over the rubble Tuesday after an explosion destroyed a Joliet home at 777 Lambeth Lane on Monday afternoon. a loud boom and a series of other explosions erupted from the two-story home. Neighbors came outside to see the house collapse in flames before firefighters arrived.

No one was home at the time and no injuries were reported.

The family cat has not been seen since the blast, Formhals said.

The house next door also was damaged.

The house is owned by Frank

and Natalie Klimala.

The two-story, four-bedroom home was built in 1997. Like many of the nearby homes in the Edgecreek neighborhood, the house was half-brick on a half-acre lot. Only a backyard gazebo remained standing after the explosion.

In the aftermath of the explosion, Nicor Gas examined its gas lines in the area and did not find any leaks.

D-210 could face lower state funding

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com NEW LENOX – Board members with Lincoln-Way High School District 210 didn’t hear good news when they heard the district could possibly face lower state funding in the future.

At Thursday’s board meeting, Ronald Sawin, assistant superintendent of business, gave his legislative report on state bills and discussions among state lawmakers that would be of interest to board members.

While he noted Gov. Pat Quinn’s budget address on Wednesday, he also said there are state budget talks debating a change in the general state aid proration rate from 89 percent to 65 percent.

“As a reference point, if that move is made, that would result in a decrease of more than $1.7 million for our district for what we’re receiving this year,” he said.

That was a concern for Board

President Arvid Johnson. After the meeting, he said the district has already lost roughly $6 million in general state aid and categorical state aid in the last six years. District officials have to match expenditures with revenues otherwise they’ll see decreases in their reserves, he said.

“We’re forever trying to find ways to take money out of our expenditures,” he said. “However, we can’t cut fast enough to keep up with this. That is a concern because we don’t have much to cut.”

In the past several years, the district has made cuts as state funding decreases and the economy slowly recovers from the downturn in 2009. Johnson said district officials have cut dozens of administrators and teachers to maintain costs.

Sawin also notified board members on several state bills.

One bill would require all schools to file a report annually with the Illinois State Board

of Education that summarizes each school’s instruction on black history for that year.

Another bill would require all schools starting in 2016 to report student fitness to the state board of education on an annual basis using a required software program.

Board members unanimously approved of allowing district officials to move forward with a contract with Burns Photography in New Lenox to provide services for their students. The company provides services to North and West High Schools currently and would extend those services to Central High school as well, Sawin said.

Members also approved entering a contract with Star Visions Photography in Frankfort to provide students photography services at East High School. Sawin said the services would come at no cost since the district receives a rebate on the packages the companies offer to students and families.

Different people, different assessments Joliet has undertaken a survey of its own to get a handle on the situation.

More than 900 people people who work, own businesses, shop or commute downtown recently filled out questionnaires about the parking situation.

Rob Winner – rwinner@shawmedia.com

Barb Hannon, a parking enforcement officer for the city of Joliet, writes a ticket for a vehicle parked in front of an unpaid meter on East Washington Street near the courthouse in downtown Joliet on Monday.

“It was a real good turnout,” Parking Superintendent Tom Schwerha said.

The survey will be used in a study by Michigan-based Rich & Associates to analyze the city’s downtown parking situation, which includes the number of parking spaces, revenue associated with the spaces and how those spaces are managed by city staff.

That study should be released sometime in the next few weeks, Schwerha said.

Smith took part in the survey and is looking forward to seeing the study.

“We need a fresh set of eyes to look at the situation,” Smith said.

The city has 1,770 parking spaces downtown, with 1,050 spaces in the city’s two parking decks, 1,100 in commuter parking lots and 620 in meter parking spaces. Metered street parking costs $1 an hour. Parking decks run 50 cents an hour. Commuter parking at Union State runs $1 a day. Parking after 5 p.m. is

free.

There also are a few free parking spaces sprinkled around town, such as around City Hall, customer parking in bank lots and the Joliet Public Library lot at Clinton and Chicago streets. The library lot, however, is supposed to be only used by library patrons.

City Hall spots are only for a half-hour.

While most downtown regulars know where and when to park, the issue can be confusing for those who come downtown occasionally, particularly those summoned to the Will County Courthouse, meeting with lawyers or eating at restaurants.

Schwerha thinks the answer lies in better signage rather than additional spaces.

For instance, many people don’t realize they can park cheaper in the parking decks rather than on the streets.

Schwerha said. And with deck parking there’s no danger of receiving a ticket if your meter runs out.

At $10 a pop, meter violations can be a big-ticket item.

Just ask Hannon, who has been patrolling downtown parking meters for the past 17 years.

Each day she walks one of three routes, either near the public aid and unemployment offices, the court house or the train station and post office.

When she finds a vehicle at an expired meter, or with an expired tag, or illegally parked, she goes to work.

License, state, make, model, location, violation are all punched into her ticket printer. If the vehicle owner returns before she hits the “print” button, Hannon says she will usually let them off the hook. Otherwise it’s a white envelope under the windshield wiper.

Hannon said the worst parking violators tend to be on Van Buren and Scott streets.

It’s just the opposite near the unemployment office.

“Those people are really good at feeding the meter,” Hannon said.

Like Schwerha, Hannon believes there’s plenty of parking downtown, but drivers don’t take advantage of the parking decks, which cost half as much.

Outside of parking violations, Hannon also has encountered children and animals left in cars. She’ll call police to respond in those situations.

In one case, she came across a 6-year-old, 2-year-old and 8-month-old left in a car on the Ottawa Street deck, with the keys in the ignition.

The mother had left the children in the vehicle while she appeared in court.

“She had to come and get her children at the police station,” Hannon said.

Dogs left in cars on hot days are another common occurrence, Hannon said. Once she heard barking coming from a car trunk, and had police respond. The owner, who put the dog in the trunk for safekeeping while he went to the library, was fined $250.

JOLIET – How well does parking work in downtown Joliet?

It all depends on who you’re talking to.

For Barb Hannon, a parking enforcement officer with the Joliet Police Department, the situation is much better now that it was years ago, especially with the advent of casino parking and cheaper commuter parking.

But Bob Kwasigroch of Andy’s Shoe Repair, 17 Cass St., doesn’t see it that way.

“Parking has always been a problem,” Kwasigroch said.

“Customers are always telling me they have to drive around the block 10 times to get a parking space.”

Coupled with the downtown’s labyrinth of one-way streets, parking can be intimidating for the occasional visitor, said James V. Smith, a real estate consultant at 305 N. Ottawa St. “You get some people coming down here to do business, go to a restaurant or a show or whatever,” Smith said. “They get caught in one-way hell and they don’t know what to do.

There’s not much of an incentive to draw them back.”

For Scott Ferrill, an attorney who occasionally comes to the Will County Courthouse for cases, parking hasn’t been too bad, especially when compared to Chicago.

“They [Joliet] could use some better signage about where to park,” Ferrill said.

Parking is never an issue for Joseph Dawson of Homewood. He uses the free parking lot near the library whenever he comes to town.

“It’s nice to be able to save a few pennies,” Dawson said.

“And the two-hour window is more than enough time for me.”

IYC-Joliet could reopen under Quinn’s plan

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The state’s shuttered juvenile prison in Joliet could reopen as a facility for inmates with severe mental illnesses under Gov. Pat Quinn’s latest spending plan.

The 484-bed facility on McDonough Street was one of several youth centers, prisons and other state facilities closed last year as part of budget cuts and prison restructuring. The state shut down the center in February 2013 despite strong opposition from unions and area legislators.

More than 200 employees lost their jobs or transferred to other prisons when the youth center closed, but with additional training, those individuals would be able to apply for the 300 jobs the new facility is expected to create.

Under Quinn’s plan, Illinois Youth Center-Joliet would provide services targeted for inmates with mental illnesses, including some of the 4,600 inmates in the Illinois Department of Corrections’ system currently categorized as “seriously mentally ill.”

The center, which would

Rob Winner – rwinner@shawmedia.com

The Illinois Youth Center in Joliet is seen Thursday morning. be the state’s first prison designed specifically for seriously mentally ill inmates, is “good news” for the state’s overcrowded prison system, said John Maki, executive director for the John Howard Association, a Chicago-based prison watchdog group.

“This is exactly the kind of thing that Illinois needs to

do relieve pressure to its other facilities, but also provide care for seriously mentally ill inmates,” Maki said.

The move is part of the state’s response to a court order stemming from a class action lawsuit that challenged the conditions of IDOC’s prison system for people with serious mental illnesses, said

state Rep. Larry Walsh Jr., D-Elwood. Not meeting the needs of mentally ill inmates could result in a federal court issuing a consent decree that would be significantly more costly for the state, according to the governor’s budget office.

The Joliet project could depend on the future of Quinn’s

proposal to make permanent the 2011 income tax hike set to expire in January. Abdon Pallasch, assistant director for the Governor’s Office of Management and Budget, said legislative approval of the permanent tax hike will be a big factor.

State Sen. Pat McGuire, D-Joliet, said $1.6 million is needed in the budget this year to begin coverting the facility to a new use, and $30 million would be needed in the following budget year to transfer inmates to the facility. Annual operational costs stand at about $30 million.

Joliet Mayor Tom Giarrante said Thursday he feared the worst for the youth center’s future in light of ongoing issues at the blighted Collins Street prison, which closed in 2002 and has since stood empty with shattered windows and crumbling drywall.

“It’s great for the city.

It’s great for the county. No question about it. And it puts that facility to use because we were concerned that if it didn’t, it would just deteriorate like the [Joliet Correctional Center] did. Hopefully, this gets passed,” Giarrante said.

Shorewood buys old firehouse on Jefferson Street

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com SHOREWOOD – The Shorewood Village Board secured property along a potential commercial area on Jefferson Street this week when it approved the purchase of the old firehouse.

The board authorized the village to pay $500,000 the the former headquarters of the Troy Fire Protection District at 107 W. Jefferson St. The village bought the building to have more control over a stretch of Jefferson Street that may become a commercial

area, Mayor Rick Chapman “If a developer comes said. in and wants to tear “If a developer comes in and wants to tear down the down the station and station and bring something bring something new new at the location, we’ve got control over what happens,” at the location, we’ve Chapman said.

Chapman said village congot control over trol of the site is important bewhat happens.” cause that area is slated to be a commercial spot in the vilShorewood Mayor lage’s riverfront master plan.

Rick Chapman “The riverfront is a very important area for the village,” Chapman said. “The long-range plan is to make that for them.”

The fire district used the lomore available to citizens and make it more of an attraction cation as its headquarters from

the 1950s until four years ago.

The fire station underwent reconstruction and several renovations in that span.

After moving into new headquarters on Route 59 and Cottage Street in 2010, the fire district had no use for the building, fire district Trustee Roger Barrowman said.

“They wanted to get off Route 52 because backing the fire truck in was difficult with all the traffic,” Barrowman said. Other issues were the space and the age of the facility.

Barrowman was not involved with discussions of

the sale because he also is the village administrator. But he said the village has been paying utilities on the property because it has used the building to house public works vehicles like plows, dump trucks and sweepers after the fire district left.

Village Trustee Jim McDonald said he was not in favor of paying a half million dollars for the building.

“It has a very limited range,” McDonald said. “The lot isn’t that deep to use for commercial development. You would have to tear it down. It’s not very appealing for a business place.”

JOLIET – Mayor Tom Giarrante is looking for a way to put more bark in the city with less bite.

Giarrante said City Manager Jim Hock is working on a plan to help replace some of the thousands of ash trees lost in Joliet parkways to the emerald ash borer.

“We’ve had the designation of Tree City for more than a dozen years,” Giarrante said. “We need to maintain our trees and increase the funding to replace those that have fallen victim to insects.”

Giarrante said any replacement program likely would be a cooperative venture between the city and residents.

“People want to know when they can get their trees replaced, but to budget that much is pretty tough,” Giarrante said. “If, in fact, we can get people to do a 50/50 split, it would allow us to put in more trees everywhere.”

Giarrante said he envisioned residents would be able to select from a list of approved tree species, which the city would then plant.

Councilman Larry Hug said his understanding was that the city would put together a seven-year plan, investing $100,000 the first year and $50,000 in the six subsequent years, for tree purchases.

Committing to bulk purchases over the long term would effectively cut the price of the trees in half, Hug said. And the resident contribution would halve the cost again.

“That would go a long way to addressing our ash tree

crisis,” Hug said, noting that the city has lost roughly 8,000 trees to the emerald ash borer.

The replacement program would offer a variety of tree options, with at least five to seven different species, Hug said.

Two species that won’t be on the list are ash and ornamental pear.

The relatively inexpensive and fast-growing ash trees were a popular option for developers years ago, Giarrante noted. But having so many trees of the same species proved to be disastrous.

For awhile, the ornamental pear became the tree of choice on city parkways. But the flowering trees, while attractive, proved to be not very hardy.

“They’re very fragile,” Giarrante said.

Hug said the program would allow no more than 20 percent of any one species, part for variety, part to avoid the kind of devastation like that wrought on the ash monoculture.

Parkway trees currently approved by the city include American linden, autumn blaze maple, Bur oak, chinkapin oak, male ginkgo, hackberry, thornless honeylocust, hybrid elm, Kentucky coffee, little leaf linden, Norway maple, red maple, red oak, swamp white oak, zelkova, several ornamental species (only under power lines) and a couple dozen others.

Trees banned from the parkway, in addition to ash and pear, include silver maple, poplar, willow, ailanthus, evergreen, hawthorn (unless thornless), non-disease-resistant elm and pin oak.

“That would go a long way to addressing our ash tree crisis.”

Sentencing underway in 2012 DUI accident

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The drunken driver who hit Kayla Haun faces up to 12 years in prison.

Haun, 19, will spend the rest of her life in a nursing home unable to care for herself, her father, Jeffrey Haun, said Thursday.

Jeffrey Haun testified during a hearing to determine the sentence for Fidencio “Denny” Castillo, 29, in Will County Court.

Supporters for both Haun and Castillo filled Judge Amy Bertani-Tomczak’s courtroom for an emotional first day of testimony to determine Castillo’s

punishment. Castillo has entered a blind plea to one count of aggravated driving under the influence of alcohol. “[Castillo] destroyed my child’s future and irreversibly damaged my entire family,” Jeffrey Haun said. “He’s looking for leniency ... a deviant of the worst sort. ... He must be kept away from the decent people of our community.”

About 9 p.m. Aug. 2, 2012, Haun was walking home from work at McDonald’s with a 20-year-old co-worker on Wilmington-Peotone Road near the Will County Fairgrounds. Castillo was driving a Dodge Intrepid after spending the evening drinking at nearby bars,

according to testimony, when he hit her.

Will County Sheriff’s Deputy Henry Wright, a traffic investigator, testified the impact from Castillo’s Intrepid knocked Haun 50 feet down the road. Haun suffered massive brain damage.

In May 2008, Castillo was arrested on DUI charges in St. John, Ind., after failing field sobriety and breathalyzer tests.

He later pleaded guilty to a charge of reckless driving. On Dec. 5, 2008, he was arrested for DUI in Kankakee County and was later sentenced to two years of court supervision.

Christopher Hartnett, who drove by shortly after the crash,

said Castillo was standing over Haun saying ‘You’re OK. Get up.’ Castillo tried to leave while Hartnett started first aid.

Jeffrey Haun said police told him Castillo’s blood alcohol content was measured at 0.101 three hours after the crash. The legal limit for driving is 0.08.

Kayla Haun spent nearly a month in a coma and has been left 95 percent disabled, her father said. She will annually require more than $100,000 in care for the rest of her life.

A video made by Haun’s best friend, Stephanie Zimmer, shows she requires a wheelchair, is unable to speak clearly and has muscle trem-

ors. Haun is aware of what happened to her and feels “stuck” in the nursing home and therapy, Zimmer said. She also is able to slowly type messages on a computer tablet.

“The doctors have said she’s reached a plateau. She’s never going to get any better,” her father said. Kayla can feed herself solid food, but the process is “messy,” he said.

“Imagine that. Nineteen years old and able to feed herself,” Jeffrey Haun said bitterly while looking at Castillo, who cried during much of Thursday’s proceedings.

Castillo is expected to make a statement when the sentencing continues Friday.

left him disabled for the rest of his life, according to the civil lawsuit complaint filed in 2010.

Last week, after a four-year civil lawsuit, a jury decided Hagerman’s damages were worth $1.08 million.

“This was a verdict that, I think, surprised everybody as far as the amount,” said Mark Rigazio, Hagerman’s lawyer.

“It’s very rare to get a $1 million verdict in Grundy County.

There is only a handful that I know of.”

The damages are to be paid by the defendant, Betty Leake of Verona, who was driving the car that collided with Hagerman at the time of the accident.

At that time, she was cited for failure to yield. Leake was driving east and Hagerman west on Bedford Road when Leake, allegedly, made a left turn directly into Hagerman’s path.

In the original lawsuit complaint, Hagerman alleged Leake was “being negligent” while operating her vehicle, which caused the collision.

Although Leake denied those claims, the jury ruled against her, and requested she pay the $1.08 million in damages.

Leake’s lawyer, Gary Wunderlich, could not immediately be reached Thursday.

“Our original demand was for $650,000,” Rigazio said.

“During trial, at closing argument, I asked for $1.2 million and [the jury] darn near came

up with that number.”

Close to $289,000 of the damages were for Hagerman’s medical expenses, which he incurred after undergoing extensive neck and spine surgery.

Hagerman is unable to return to work, but Rigazio said they did not include that amount in the damages because of a knee injury sustained after the accident. The knee injury could also be a contributing factor in Hagerman’s inability to work, Rigazio said.

The largest portion of damages, $450,000, were allotted for loss of normal life. Although he can walk, Hagerman can no longer enjoy physical activity as he once did because of damage to his spine and neck.

“It’s just kind of eating away at him,” Rigazio said. “He can’t even think about going to the gym anymore.”

Other damages included in the total amount were past and future pain and suffering, past lost earnings and future medical expenses.

Hagerman declined to comment and directed Rigazio to speak on his behalf.

Rigazio said he and Hagerman are thankful to the jury and his co-council Joe Mueller for making the verdict possible.

“I have never had a jury that I observed, paid so much attention and took so many notes.

I was stunned,” Rigazio said.

“They were fantastic.”

cchapman@shawmedia.com

inevitable, “ he said.

Pencyla said the need for a special prosecutor is valid and, therefore, he should stay in place.

A ruling is expected by April 29 regarding the special prosecutor. Rigazio said the judge could leave Pencyla in place, bring the appointment back to the appellate prosecutor’s recommendation or the judge could appoint another attorney to take over.

This lawsuit against Halpin follows allegations raised years ago by current board Vice Chairman David Welter.

At that time, Welter – based on an investigation he did prior to being elected to the board – accused Halpin of receiving reimbursements for meetings he either did not attend or that never took place.

About a year ago it was decided no criminal action could be taken against Halpin. Appellate prosecutor Charles Colburn – who had been appointed to investigate any criminal acts by Halpin – said after an investigation done by his office and Illinois State Police that no criminal charges were discovered.

Joliet police arrest four on drug charges

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The Joliet Narcotics Unit rounded up four alleged drug dealers Wednesday, including one accused of operating near Joliet Central High School.

Lt. Joe Egizio said the cases were unrelated, but similar.

Over the last few months undercover officers would meet with the dealers in parking lots throughout the city, usually buying crack cocaine, he said.

Jarvin J. Davis, 21, of the 100 block of Comstock Street, was charged with two counts of delivery of drugs. Egizio said one of the deals that led to Da-

vis’ arrest took place within 1,000 feet of Joliet Central High School.

Victor T. Womack, 21, of the 300 block of Reverend Walton Drive in Lockport, was charged with one count of delivery of drugs. Womack was served with his warrant in the Will County Jail, where he has been held since last week to await trial on drug charges from 2012.

Terion D. Stewart, 20, of the 1400 block of Sheridan Street, was arrested shortly before 11 a.m. at Joliet and Wallace streets on one count of delivery of drugs. Egizio said Stewart conducted drug deals in the parking lot of a business in

the 100 block of North Center Street.

The Joliet Narcotics Unit also arrested Thomas D. Jones, 27, at his home in the 900 block of Woods Avenue around 6:30 p.m.

“A long-term investigation showed Jones was selling marijuana from his residence and making deliveries,” Egizio said.

Police reportedly found 18 grams of marijuana, two digital scales, a 10-millimeter Smith more than $12,000 inside.

Jones was charged with delivery of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia and unlawful use of a weapon by a felon.

OTTAWA – The civil case against Grundy County Board member Frank Halpin continued Wednesday with his defense team fighting the appointment of a Kendall County assistant state’s attorney as a special prosecutor for the case.

Grundy County filed a lawsuit in September against Halpin for money he is accused of misappropriating from the county, not less than $40,000, and the recoupment of all wages and benefits that Halpin received during his breach of duties as chairman and as a board member from 2008 to 2013, at least $200,000.

Halpin was first elected to the board in 1994.

Halpin’s case is being heard in LaSalle County after his attorneys, Mark Rigazio and Jeff Tomczak, requested it be removed from Grundy County last year. They argued Wednesday the appointment of special prosecutor Nemura Pencyla, an assistant state’s attorney in Kendall County,

should not have been requested by Grundy County State’s Attorney Jason Helland.

“I do not think he did anything intentionally or maliciously, but he clearly and admittedly conflicted out of the case because he represents all of the county board, including Frank Halpin,” Rigazio said Thursday. “After admitting there was a conflict [of interest] he then filed a motion to appoint the Kendall County State’s Attorney’s Office.”

Because of the conflict of interest, Rigazio said Helland and his office should have never appeared in court regarding this case – even for the motion to obtain a special prosecutor.

He continued that a special prosecutor should have been appointed by the appellate prosecutor that originally investigated Halpin’s case.

“Even if there was an error in any way, it’s an issue of form over substance,” special prosecutor Pencyla said Thursday. “When push comes to shove, if the court were to ask again [for a special prosecutor] ... we would step up.”

“This is just delaying the

much as a year, Morris said.

“I want to see this straightened out so they can move forward,” Morris said.

Morris said the city and HAJ have been searching for a solution over the past weekend.

Residents displaced by the demolition would receive housing vouchers, and be given first option of moving back into the redeveloped facility.

Housing units not replaced at Des Plaines Gardens eventually could be transferred to HAJ’s Liberty Meadows facility, where the authority has land available for additional construction.

Money to demolish the complex and build new privatized housing would come from IHDA through private investors. Rent subsidies for the new homes would come through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s Rental Assistance Demonstration program.

JOLIET – Councilman Terry Morris has called a special City Council meeting for Monday morning to resolve how many homes can be built in the Des Plaines Garden redevelopment project.

The issue has to be settled

by Monday in order to apply for funding for the project.

The Housing Authority of Joliet originally planned to replace 122 low-income homes at the site, located at Des Plaines and McDonough streets, with 76 mixed-income townhomes and duplexes. That number later was adjusted to 69 units.

Another seven units were removed from the project when the city determined there was no room for stormwater detention on the property, Morris said.

Concerns also arose over population density for the project. City staff initially rec-

ommended the site contain no more than 48 single-family homes in order to stay within Joliet density guidelines, Morris said. That number later was adjusted to 52 units with the addition of several duplex units.

Morris said he’d like to see the city allow more housing units in the redevelopment, something closer to the 69 originally envisioned in the project.

“I’d like to see the maximum number of units available so people who have roots there have a chance to move back if they want,” Morris said. “As long as they meet all the requirements, I don’t want to see it cut back any more than it has to be.”

Complicating the issue is the fact that Monday also is the day that HAJ needs to submit its project application to the Illinois Housing Development Authority.

Missing the deadline could push the project back by as

MICHAEL A. DE BENEDETTI Michael A. De Benedetti. On Sunday, March 23rd, after a short, but courageous, battle with cancer, God called home a terrific man at the young age of 54. He was a lifelong resident of Illinois; a hard-working, dedicated family man. All those who knew him, adored him.

As a young man, he was one of the best breakfast cooks, working for The Family Table and Torch Restaurants. For the last 20 years, he worked as a machine operator at International Paper, formerly known as Weyerhaeuser.

He is preceded in death by his grandparents, Joseph De Benedetti (Eleanor Govoni) and Albert Posego (Katherine Jackson); and stepfather, Ermand Marco.

He is survived by his loving wife, Marnie De Benedetti (Watkins); his parents, Andre De Benedetti and Patricia Marco; his children, Teresa (Devin) Nier, Michael J., and Nick; stepchild, Carmen; and husband, Andy Dompier; his siblings, Gloria (Phil) Sieger and Patrick (Mary) De Benedetti; his nieces and nephews, Shawna Casey, Sarah (Nick) Reardon, Joshua Casey, Tonya Casey, and Joseph De Benedetti; and his grandchildren, Cody Nier and Olivia, Aidan and Elliott Dompier; and numerous aunts, uncles and cousins.

He will be forever loved and missed by his family and friends.

In lieu of flowers, please donate to the Esophageal Cancer Education Foundation in his name at PO Box 821, Manalapan, New Jersey 07726 or www.fightec.org/donate-today/ Memorial Service to be held Monday, March 31, 2014 at 10:00am at St. Mary Nativity Church in Joliet.

Millionaires taxed more in proposal ry and secondary education – about $550 per student. The money would be distributed to the state’s public schools based on the number of students they serve.

His plan comes as the governor’s race is heating up between Republican candidate Bruce Rauner, a wealthy private-equity investor, and Quinn, the Chicago Democrat. They’ve presented starkly contrasting visions of how to fix the lagging economy and improve state finances.

Madigan, who also doubles as the state’s Democratic Party chair, says Illinois’ wealthiest residents “are better equipped than others to support education.”

Quinn hasn’t said outright if he supports the plan, but told reporters Thursday that lawmakers should take a careful look.

“I’m happy to hear that it passed committee ... It’s a good opportunity for the Legislature to examine that issue,” he said.

Republicans pushed back against Madigan during the committee meeting, arguing the proposal would unfairly penalize Illinois’ most successful residents.

“The state of Illinois has a difficulty convincing the job creators, the people who take the risks to start companies and create jobs that Illinois is ... friendly place for them,” state Rep. David Harris, an Arlington Heights Republican, said. “Those folks who start businesses and hope to become millionaires are saying, ‘Illinois is not a place I want to be.’”

Illinois Manufacturers’ Association President Greg Baise told the panel that the

amendment was “bad policy and bad form.”

The amendment must be approved by a supermajority in both chambers of the Legislature before securing a spot on the November ballot, where voters would decide whether to change the constitution that currently calls for taxing all income at the same “flat” rate.

Also Thursday, the committee also voted down Urbana Democratic state Rep. Naomi Jakobsson’s plan to place a constitutional amendment on the ballot that calls for a graduated tax system.

While a similar amendment sponsored by Democratic state Rep. Don Harmon of Oak Park is gathering momentum in the Senate, the panel’s move made it clear the House isn’t ready to support such a proposal.

But polls show the idea isn’t popular, and Republicans say they’ll fight it.

Quinn’s challenger Bruce Rauner calls it a broken promise, because the increase was billed as temporary. A Rauner campaign staffer wearing a fake nose and calling himself “Quinnocchio” picketed outside Quinn’s Thursday stop at a school.

Still, unions support the idea.

Candidates have run on the issue before and won.

Former Republican Gov. Jim Edgar did it in the 1990s. He says Quinn’s proposal is probably the right for government, but is a tough sell politically.

By KERRY LESTER The Associated Press SPRINGFIELD – The day after Gov. Pat Quinn called for making Illinois’ temporary income tax increase permanent, a proposal to impose an additional tax on millionaires was sent to the House floor Thursday.

The House Revenue and Finance Committee’s 6-4 vote in favor of the Democratic House Speaker Michael Madigan’s proposed constitutional amendment came along party lines, an indication that a tax policy debate will ramp up at the state Capitol this spring ahead of November’s general election.

The proposal would tack a 3 percent surcharge onto income of $1 million, which Madigan says would raise $1 billion a year for elementa-

Mudslide rescuers battle rain, exhaustion

By MANUEL VALDES and MATT VOLZ The Associated Press DARRINGTON, Wash.– Weary rescuers pressed through rain and their own exhaustion Thursday, searching for more bodies and a perhaps a miracle atop the pile of filth and debris that laid waste to a Washington town and killed at least 25 people.

Rescue and cadaver dogs occasionally led crews to a wrecked car or the ruins of a house containing a body.

Teams then began removing the corpse, ignoring the muck that clogged their tools. As the victim was taken away, silence fell over the site.

The main goal now is to find more bodies and winnow the list of the 90 people who are missing in the mudslide that buried the community of Oso on Saturday.

But that doesn’t prevent the more than 200 people working on the sludgy heap from clinging to hope that at least one survivor is waiting for them in some pocket of the pile, which is a square mile wide and 40 feet deep in places.

“My heart is telling me I’m not giving up yet,” Snohomish County District 21 Fire Chief Travis Hots said. “If we find

AP photo

A searcher walks through mud near a massive pile of debris at the scene of a deadly mudslide Thursday in Oso, Wash. just one more person alive, it’s all worth it to me.”

After six days of searching, people are not the only ones showing signs of strain. Shane Barco’s 3-year-old German shepherd has found bodies and body parts.

Days of combing through what Barco called a blender of debris has exhausted the dog, leading Barco to stop the search for a while.

Authorities warned the

community to expect a substantial rise in the death toll within the next two days as the Snohomish County Medical Examiner’s Office catches up with the recovery effort.

Sixteen bodies have been recovered, but officials say at least nine more had been found as of Wednesday night.

The medical examiner’s office has so far formally identified only a single victim, 45-yearold Christina Jefferds. Family

members have confirmed a handful of other fatalities to news organizations.

Five people injured by the mudslide remain in a Seattle hospital, including a 5-monthold boy in critical condition.

Besides the 90 missing, authorities are checking into 35 other people who may or may not have been in the area at the time of the slide.

“We do know this could end up being the largest mass

loss of Washingtonians,” Gov. Jay Inslee said Thursday.

“We’re looking for miracles to occur.”

The searchers walk on plywood pathways to keep from sinking into the sucking slurry. Their task was made more difficult Thursday by the rain that saturated the sand, silt and clay that make up the debris pile. The moisture made the already treacherous surface even more unstable and raised concern about the safety of collapsed hillside above them.

“Right now there [is] no risk of additional slides, but we’re watching the rain,” said Steven Thomsen, the county’s public works director. “If it starts to move, we’ll pull the crews out, but we don’t see that happening.”

A University of Washington researcher now says there were two major slides on Saturday morning.

The bigger slide that hit Oso lasted more than two minutes, and was followed four minutes later by the second one, wrote Kate Allstadt on the Pacific Northwest Seismic Network blog.

Seismic signals also recorded more than a dozen smaller slides that continued for more than an hour.

Commanders fired in nuke missile cheating scandal

By ROBERT BURNS The Associated Press WASHINGTON – The Air Force took the extraordinary step Thursday of firing nine midlevel nuclear commanders and announcing it will discipline dozens of junior officers at a nuclear missile base, responding firmly to an exam-cheating scandal that spanned a far longer period than originally reported.

A 10th commander, the senior officer at the base, resigned and will retire from the Air Force.

Air Force officials called

the discipline unprecedented in the history of America’s intercontinental ballistic missile force. The Associated Press last year revealed a series of security and other problems in the ICBM force, including a failed safety and security inspection at Malmstrom Air Force Base, Mont., where the cheating occurred.

Separately, another of the Air Force’s nuclear missile units – the 90th Missile Wing at F.E. Warren Air Force Base, Wyo. – announced that it had fired the officer overseeing its missile squadrons. It said Col. Donald Holloway, the op-

erations group commander, was sacked “because of a loss of confidence in his ability to lead.”

The 90th Missile Wing offered no further explanation for Holloway’s removal and said it “has nothing to do” with the firings announced by the Air Force in Washington.

Together, the moves reflect turmoil in a force that remains central to American defense strategy but in some ways has been neglected. The force of 450 Minuteman 3 missiles is primed to unleash nuclear devastation on a moment’s notice, capable of obliterating people

and places halfway around the globe.

In a bid to correct root causes of the missile corps’ failings – including low morale and weak management – the Air Force also announced Thursday a series of new or expanded programs to improve leadership development, to modernize the three ICBM bases and to reinforce “core values” including integrity.

Air Force Secretary Deborah Lee James, the service’s top civilian official, told a Pentagon news conference that a thorough review of how testing and training are conducted in

the ICBM force has produced numerous avenues for improvements.

“We will be changing rather dramatically how we conduct testing and training going forward,” while ensuring that performance standards are kept high, James said.

James had promised to hold officers at Malmstrom accountable, once the cheating investigation was completed, and the scope of the scandal was clear.

None of the nine fired commanders was directly involved in the cheating, but each was determined to have failed in his or her leadership responsibilities.

U.S. President Barack Obama met with Pope Francis Thursday at the Vatican.

By JIM KUHNHENN and NICOLE WINFIELD The Associated Press VATICAN CITY – Face to face for the first time, President Barack Obama and Pope Francis focused publicly on their mutual respect and shared concern for the poor on Thursday. But their lengthy private discussion also highlighted the deep differences between the White House and the Catholic Church on abortion and birth control.

The gaps were evident in the differing accounts Obama and the Vatican gave of the meeting, with Obama stressing the two leaders’ common ground on fighting inequality and poverty while Vatican officials emphasized the importance to the church of “rights to religious freedom, life and conscientious objection.” That point by church officials referred to a major disagreement over a provision of Obama’s health care law.

The meeting inside the grand headquarters of the Roman Catholic Church marked a symbolic high point of Obama’s three-country visit to Europe.

For a president whose approval ratings have slipped since winning re-election, it was also an opportunity to link himself to

the hugely popular pope and his focus on fighting poverty.

“Those of us as politicians have the task of trying to come up with policies to address issues,” Obama said following the meeting. “But His Holiness has the capacity to open people’s eyes and make sure they’re seeing that this is an issue.”

The president said the plight of the poor and marginalized was a central topic in their talks, along with Middle East peace, conflicts in Syria and the treatment of Christians around the world. Social issues, he said, were not discussed in detail.

However, the Vatican left out any reference to inequality issues in its description of the meeting. In a written statement, church officials instead said discussions among not only the pope and president but also their top aides centered on questions of particular relevance for the church leaders in the U.S., making veiled references both to abortion and a contraception mandate in Obama’s health care law, which is under review by the Supreme Court.

For Obama, the meeting with the pope marked a departure from the intense focus on the situation in Ukraine, which dominated his first three days in Europe.

al New Zealand Air Force P-3 Orion that has made six sorties into the southern Indian Ocean search zone.

Search and rescue makes up a small part of what Graham’s squadron does, and visual spotting is an even smaller subset of that. But everyone on board has had to learn how to do it – and it’s not as simple as most people think. Graham learned as part of a yearlong training stint in Canada, further refined his skills during a six-month course in New Zealand and has had ongoing training since.

Crew members have to know what they’re doing, because the electronic equipment on board sometimes doesn’t.

“The P-3 has a lot of really advanced sensors and they’re really useful in our other roles, but for search and rescue, when you can’t guarantee a large or a metallic target, vision is the best that you’ve got,” Graham said at an air base near Perth, Australia.

Inside the shadowy confines of New Zealand’s P-3 Orion, the spotters drop into their seats, which they swivel toward the window and inch forward before leaning into the bubble-shaped windows that extend outward from the plane, permitting them to see

straight down. When the oils from their skin smudge the window, they wipe away the marks with eyeglass cloths.

There are two spotters on either side of the aircraft. They rest their elbows on a padded shelf, their binoculars sitting at arm’s reach.

They don’t have to have naturally perfect vision; but they do need to be able to correct it to 20/20 with contacts or glasses, and they must exhibit excellent attention to detail.

That’s because even the tiniest detail could signify their target – white objects, anything angular that might be man-made, anything orange – since aircraft items that are designed to be located are generally yellow or orange. Some of the seaweed in the search area is bright orange, causing hearts to briefly race when it comes into view.

They’re trained to constantly move their eyes – in an X pattern, or up and down – whatever keeps them alert, says Ron Bishop, who once trained spotters and was formerly second-in-charge of the U.S. Air Force Rescue and Special Operations School at Kirtland Air Force Base in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Still, the monotony of the sea can do funny things to the eyes.

IMF to help Ukraine with bailout

By PETER LEONARD The Associated Press KIEV, Ukraine – The world rushed to help Ukraine on Thursday, with the International Monetary Fund pledging up to $18 billion in loans, the U.N. condemning the vote that drove Crimea into Russian hands and the U.S. Congress approving even harsher sanctions against Russia.

Yet even with such intensive help to prop up Ukraine’s teetering economy, the prime minister warned of painful times ahead from the necessary economic reforms – and

home energy prices were certain to rise quickly.

Former Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko, one of the country’s most polarizing figures, announced she would run for president in the May 25 vote – a move sure to usher in strong emotions in Ukraine’s turbulent politics.

President Barack Obama called the swell of international support a “concrete signal of how the world is united with Ukraine.”

In a passionate address to parliament in Kiev, Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk

warned that Ukraine was “on the brink of economic and financial bankruptcy” and laid out the fixes needed to put the country back on track.

“The time has come to tell the truth, to do difficult and unpopular things,” Yatsenyuk said, adding that Ukraine was short $25.8 billion – “equivalent to the entire state budget for this year.”

The IMF loan, which is expected to range between $14 billion and $18 billion, hinges on structural reforms that Ukraine has pledged to undertake.

Obama, Pope Francis meet at the Vatican

OVER THE SOUTHERN INDIAN OCEAN – They stare out at a punishingly unbroken expanse of gray water that seems, at times, to blend into the clouds. Occasionally, they press their foreheads against the plane’s windows so hard they leave grease marks, their eyes darting up and down, left and right, looking for something – anything – that could explain the fate of the missing Malaysia Airlines plane.

The hunt for Flight 370, which vanished on March 8 during a trip from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing, is complicated in just about every way imaginable, from the vastness of the search area to its distance from land to the brutal weather that plagues it. But for all the fancy technology on board the planes and vessels scouring the swirling waters, the best tool searchers have are their own eyes.

Those eyes can spot things man-made equipment cannot.

But they are also subject to the peculiarities of the human brain. They can play tricks.

They can blink at the wrong moment. They can, and often do, grow weary.

“It is incredibly fatiguing work,” says Flight Lt. Stephen Graham, tactical coordinator for the crew on board a Roy-

OPINION

Robert Wall General Manager

Kate Schott Editor

OUR VIEW

Not so fast with more of our cash Metra is selling that it needs $9.9 billion for infrastructure improvements.

Given years of mismanagement at the suburban railway agency, we’re not ready to buy into that just yet.

Like so many other Illinois governmental entities, Metra is fundamentally flawed. Until it can prove that it won’t misuse our hard-earned tax dollars on political cronyism (see Speaker Michael Madigan’s campaign hack) or on thieves and con men (i.e., the late Phil Pagano), or high six-figure severance deals to force out leaders who stand up to the cronyism (see former CEO Alex Clifford), we shouldn’t trust the agency with more of our money.

In a recent meeting in Fox River Grove, new Metra CEO Don Orseno said that Metra has 380 railcars that are between 30 and 60 years old. We believe him.

But the problem is the way Metra has been run to this point.

Metra is an important resource for many Will County residents, who rely on the service to reach jobs in Chicago every day. It’s also important to the regional economy, allowing Will County residents to make a day trip to the city without having to worry about traffic or parking in the city.

Many times, Metra also has proven unreliable, especially this winter.

Orseno knows the agency has a long road to rebuild trust with commuters and taxpayers. We wish him luck.

But any infrastructure plan needs to be thought through and transparent.

Every possible solution should be considered before we throw more money at any state agency.

Consider what privatizing Metra would do. Consider separating it from the other Regional Transportation Authority ventures. Consider alternate funding or even increasing ticket prices to a point where Metra would pay for itself.

There needs to be a plan, a fully developed plan that makes sense, before more tax dollars are devoted to it.

Metra is important to you. It’s important to us. For all of our sakes, it’s time to come up with a solution that works for commuters and taxpayers, not for elected officials and their cronies.

Newspaper industry filled with interesting people I don’t want this to sound threatening, but you might want to think about what you say to me because someday I’m gonna write a book and you’re all gonna be in it.

Well, probably not everybody.

OK, hardly any of you. Maybe a few.

Aw, who am I kidding? I’m never going to write a book.

Sometimes, I feel like my whole life is an animated novel playing out in real time. That’s not a bad thing.

It keeps me turning the page each day.

The life of a newspaper guy can be, let’s use the word “interesting.”

Every crackpot and conspiracy theorist that walks into a town ends up at the newspaper office. I’m not talking about you, of course. You’re fine. But the newspaper is a magnet for anyone who has a story to tell.

Over the years, I’ve had some doozies. I won’t say that I’ve “heard it all” because I’m constantly amazed by the stories I hear. I’ve had a couple of doomsdayers wanting to show me proof that the world

RAMBLIN’ MAN David Porter is about to end. One guy brought in reams of research on contrails with a theory about how the government is intentionally poisoning us. One guy told me that he had definitive proof that President Barack Obama is the anti-Christ.

Then there was the businessman who literally cried in my office because the city wouldn’t let him build a strip club there. I cried with him.

There was the convicted murderer who didn’t like my news coverage of his recent arrest for drug possession. That was uncomfortable.

It’s not fair to lump them all under heading of crackpot. Many of them had legitimate information with no legitimate way to disseminate it. Like the lawyer who would drive me around in his car while I perused the confidential files that

were laid out on the seat. Apparently, he believed the pretense would keep him from being disbarred.

Some were just trying to be helpful. Like the ambulance driver who smuggled me past a police barricade so I could get a photo I needed.

It’s not lost on me that people rely on the newspaper to tell the stories that they can’t tell themselves. Some of those stories need telling and some don’t. That leads to a necessary skepticism. The trust they place in the newspaper is second to the trust the readers have that the newspaper will consider the motivations behind the information to deliver news that is relevant, fair and accurate. I take the responsibility seriously, but I try to have fun along the way.

There are times when I know my sources consider me to be a pawn for their own agendas, and those are often the best sources. It’s easy for a reporter to spot manipulation because it’s everywhere every day.

• PORTER Continued from page 20 It’s easy to become jaded, though, when you realize that everyone has an agenda. It becomes difficult, perhaps even dangerous, to form meaningful friendships within one’s circle of news coverage.

It’s an interesting life, though. Each day is a new page with the anticipation of another colorful character crossing the threshold.

When it stops being interesting, that will be the time to quit.

Last week was national Sunshine Week – a week when the press reflects on transparency issues such as the Freedom of Information Act, Open Meetings Act and investigative reporting. I Advertisement

was too busy putting out a newspaper to think too much about it, so I’m celebrating this week. There’s no cake, and there aren’t any balloons. It’s not really a party. Just a time to think about the watchdog role the media plays in our body politic.

I can’t say we’re a perfect lot spreading harmony and happiness across the land.

But I think we do some good.

That’s the goal.

We take it on the chin some because we didn’t do this or that or because we got something wrong along the way. Despite our ample egos, we’re not some all-knowing, infallible deity, who uncovers the truth by simply walking into a room.

We rely on the collective data of agenda-driven people as well as our own instincts Advertisement

and ingenuity. It’s not perfect, but it beats the heck out of government-controlled messaging.

Unfortunately, a lot of news coverage these days is agenda-driven, too. That’s why it’s vitally important that people have the ability to weigh information independently and that starts with treating yourself to a variety of news sources.

My agenda is to wake up tomorrow feeling good after a guilt-free slumber, make enough money to pay my bills and try to make the world around me a better place. When I get to the end of the book my life is writing, I want each page to be worth reading.

BOYS VOLLEYBALL: JOLIET CATHOLIC 2, PLAINFIELD SOUTH 0

Hilltoppers get 1st win while Cougars fall in season opener

By CURT HERRON cherron@shawmedia.com

• Friday, March 28, 2014

JOLIET – Contests during the opening week of a season are often more about seeing signs of improvement rather than just wins and losses.

Such was the case with Thursday’s boys volleyball match between Joliet Catholic Academy and Plainfield South.

While the Hilltoppers claimed their first victory with a 25-15, 25-21 win over the Cougars in the nonconference affair, both sides preferred to look at the bigger picture.

For a young JCA squad, which started just one senior, it was a positive step following Monday’s season-opening loss at Lincoln-Way Central.

Meanwhile, South’s opener has to be kept in perspective, considering that the inexperienced Cougars were missing a couple of players who figure to be key contributors this season.

“We’re essentially a sophomore and junior team,” JCA coach Rhyen Staley said.

“Part of the learning process is the ups and downs. But like always with this program, it’s a season-long endeavor to get the guys to where they need to be. Obviously, this was only our second match, but we’re coming along.

“It’s helpful to have a kid like [sophomore] Blake [Reardon] that can swing and put the ball away. Lincoln-Way Central is going to have a really nice year so starting off with them was a little rough.

But we’ll use it as a barometer and if we can get close to that level, we’ll be in really great shape.”

While there was little drama in the opener with the Hilltoppers jumping out to a 15-4 advantage, the Cougars avoided the same kind of fate in the second set.

JCA grabbed a 16-8 advantage, but South continued to

In the opening game, the Hilltoppers took control with a 6-0 run that gave them an

early 12-3 lead.

Reardon, who finished with a match-high 12 kills, served up three aces during that decisive spurt.

JCA also received five kills apiece from junior Chandler Kowaliczko and sophomore Ben Gabor, while junior setter Aron Goeken handed out 24 assists.

The Hilltoppers used a 5-0 spurt in the second set to turn a 9-7 lead into a 14-7 advantage and a short time later they had their biggest lead of the set at 16-8.

But that’s when the Cougars started to come to life, getting a combined block by senior Codi Berger and junior Cody Viertel and a kill from Berger to close to within 17-14.

South, which relied on junior Adam Burt at setter, trailed 23-21 following a kill by senior Zak Berta (six kills) before JCA responded with kills from Reardon and senior Bobby Nunez to end things.

GIRLS SOCCER AREA PREVIEW

Lemont hopes to challenge for state soccer title

The Herald-News / TheHerald-News.com • Friday, March 28, 2014

24

By CURT HERRON cherron@shawmedia.com Lemont’s girls soccer team has picked up an impressive collection of state trophies the past five seasons.

Coach Rick Prangen’s program claimed fourth place in Class 2A last year to go along with second- and third-place efforts in 2009 and 2011, respectively. And the Indians definitely have a chance for a firstplace trophy this season since they only lost three players to graduation.

Last year’s top two finishers in Class 2A, champion Glenwood and Prairie Ridge, suffered key graduation losses while third-place Fenwick moves up to Class 3A. “We are returning eight of 11 starters and we have to find replacements for the three starters that we lost to graduation,” said Prangen, who has 262 victories in 19 years.

“If we are able to find players to fill those roles, we should be competitive. As always, remaining healthy will be a key.

Lastly, we are a bit more experienced than last year, which should benefit us.”

Lemont will be led by a pair of returning all-staters and three-time all-conference picks, as well as an all-sectional performer from last season’s 21-5-2 squad.

Senior midfielder Kim Jerantowski scored 20 goals and added 17 assists to earn allstate accolades. She will continue her career at Northwestern.

The same honors also went to senior goalkeeper Kelly Fritz, who had a 0.54 GAA last season for the Indians. She has signed to play at the University of Illinois-Chicago.

During the pairs’ threeyear career with the Indians, the program has gone 61-14-4, which includes 33 straight South Suburban Conference wins and three league titles.

Jerantowski has scored 63 goals and added 23 assists at Lemont while Fritz has a 0.68 GAA. Lemont’s returning all-sectional player is junior forward Aleksandra Mihailovic, who had 16 goals and five assists last season. Junior midfielder

Lemont senior all-stater Kim Jerantowski will continue her career at Northwestern after graduation.

Savanah Brija added 10 goals.

Others to watch are senior midfielder/defender Nicole Balinski and junior defender/ midfielder Brittany Mikrut.

Here’s a look at area soccer programs that provided information about their teams:

JOLIET WEST After her first Tigers’ team finished 3-15 record last season, coach Ashley Veigelt is looking for a better showing.

Offseason work coupled with some talented returnees gives West reason to believe that it can be competitive in the SouthWest Suburban Blue.

“I am very excited about this season,” Veigelt said. “My returners have improved so much during the summer and winter and it shows.

“The girls are committed to improve our record, and the commitment started the second our season was over last year. We are not a tall or big team, but these girls have determination and heart. We will definitely be a force.”

Two captains hold down key positions. They are junior goalkeeper Sam MacInnes and senior sweeper Kimberly Escamilla. Another captain is senior Shea Pierce.

“Kimberly runs the defense and is one of our quick-

est players,” Veigelt said. “We are able to move Shea up to the offensive aspect of the game to utilize her scoring ability and free-kick opportunities.

“We’re also returning [senior] Synthia Garcia, our top goal scorer, and we’re hoping she scores more than the 10 goals she had last season.”

Two newcomers are Daniella Ortiz, who moves up from the JV squad and can play center mid or forward. Justine Niell brings height and scoring ability.

LINCOLN-WAY WEST The Warriors graduated several key players from last year’s 14-7-2 squad, including all-stater Cori Brennan, who set school records for goals and assists.

While Brennan made a successful transition to the college game, earning all-conference honors at Carthage, West coach Jeff Theiss will try to find someone to replace her.

All-sectional goalkeeper Kayla Lojas and four-year center back Lea Gindville were among four starters who graduated. Theiss will look to returnees, such as senior center mid Kendall Watson (seven career goals, 10 career assists) and junior center mid Emily Wyskiel (21 career goals, 27 ca-

reer assists).

Two other players who return are junior forward Natalie Tannura (20 career goals, nine career assists) and sophomore center back Brianna Heyer.

Wyskiel scored 10 goals and handed out 14 assists last season while Tannura finished with 14 goals.

“Although we graduated five senior starters, including all-state forward Cori Brennan, we are excited about the challenges that lie ahead,” Theiss said. “This season is going to provide opportunity for our underclassmen to earn valuable varsity experience.

“With that in mind, our keys include maximizing efficiency during training and developing a system that is effective for this group. During our first week, we have already witnessed our returning varsity starters embrace their new leadership roles, which bodes well for our program.”

Top newcomers for the Warriors include junior goalkeeper Audrey Pearson and freshman center back Teagan Lyke.

“Audrey had the ability to start the past two seasons, however, playing behind all-sectional goalkeeper Kayla Lojas limited her varsity minutes,” Theiss said. “With an innate ability to come off her line along with her strong vocal leadership, we are more than confident Audrey is going to have her breakout season.

“With Lea Gindville graduating, we are confident that Teagan can step into a central defender role and help solidify our back line.”

LOCKPORT Few area programs were hit as hard by graduation losses as the Porters, who were the undefeated SouthWest Suburban Blue champs last season.

While veteran coach Todd Elkei knows he can’t replace a special group that went 14-41 last year, he has some good players returning. They include senior defender Mary Licata, senior midfielder Courtney Hackett, junior forward Sam Calderaro and junior midfielder Taylor Stortz, who sat out last year with an ACL injury.

“This season will start a new

era for the Porters,” Elkei said.

“We lost a senior group that had over 60 games of varsity experience the last three years.

We will need leadership from Mary and Taylor to help mold our young but eager team.

“We will need people to step up and become difference makers right away. We will work hard to get better every day and challenge for the conference championship.”

Elkei hopes junior midfielders Kayla Sierzega and Jenny Ornelas and junior defender Meg Lesnefsky will be among this year’s leaders.

Other key newcomers include sophomore goalkeeper Cassidy Henson, freshmen defenders Brooke Janeczek and Jamie Hansen and freshman midfielder Madisyn Hannion.

PROVIDENCE The East Suburban Catholic Conference features tough competition each season. But with three four-year players leading the way, the Celtics are hoping they can battle it out with some of the league’s best.

A year ago, Dan Potempa’s squad went 8-12-1 overall and 2-6-1 in the ESCC. The Celtics fell to Joliet Catholic in a shootout in the regional final.

Providence will look to senior midfielders Kyleigh Maday amid Alyssa Dorning and senior defender Lauren Rasmussen to lead the turnaround.

Maday, an all-sectional pick, had 11 goals last year and 26 goals and 16 assists for her career. Dorning had 10 assists last season and 13 in her career.

“We’re returning a good number of solid players, especially in the midfield,” Potempa said. “After losing to JCA in a shootout for the regional championship, these girls are motivated to move on further.

“The girls have good attitudes and work ethic. They have a positive energy to them and I hope that will translate over to the field this spring.”

Providence will have another senior back, forward Marybeth Galick, who missed last season with an ACL injury. Junior goalkeeper Nicki Griffith will be playing her first varsity season in goal but Potempa believes she’ll do a solid job.

SPRING TRAINING: LINCOLN-WAY WEST SOFTBALL

Warriors return ace Dieringer, other key pieces

By STEVE MILLAR Shaw Media Correspondent

• Friday, March 28, 2014

Last year was a season of firsts for Lincoln-Way West softball.

The Warriors captured the first conference title in program history, winning the SouthWest Suburban Red, and the program’s first regional title.

Now, with several key pieces from that team returning, West is hungry to take the next step.

“We just want to use our success and build on it,” West pitcher Morghan Dieringer said. “We want to do even better this year.”

With Dieringer back in the circle, the Warriors have an ace capable of making that happen.

The senior went 22-3 with a 1.89 ERA last season, striking out 205 hitters while walking 38. Opposing batters hit a mere .164 against her.

“We have a great deal of confidence in Morghan,” West coach Heather Novak said.

“We have a solid group of girls behind her. Pitching and defense should definitely be a strength for us.”

Dieringer isn’t a fireballer, but she’s crafty.

“I don’t throw really fast,” she said. “I just move the ball around a lot.”

Novak said her ace’s mental game is a major strong suit.

“Morghan is a smart pitcher,” Novak said. “She’s able to move the ball all around and she’s a good strikeout pitcher.”

Behind Dieringer, the Warriors return most of their infield beginning with sophomore shortstop Dani Morgan.

Morgan had a huge freshman season in 2013, hitting .463 with six home runs, 36 RBIs and 39 runs.

“Dani is extremely athletic,” Novak said. “She proved

She’s going to be fun to watch the next three years.”

With a season under her belt, Morgan said she is more comfortable going into this season.

“As the year went on last year, I got more confident and comfortable,” Morgan said.

“I know what my role on the team is now. I think the team altogether has improved a lot.”

Senior first baseman Rachael Luckett, who hit .429 and drove in 27 runs last season, and junior third baseman Car-

ly Souder, who hit .394 with 24 RBIs, also return along with junior outfielders Rachel Andrade and Kayla Seymour.

“We have a good group of returning players,” Novak said. “Offensively, we need to take advantage of our speed, steal some bases and manufacture runs.

“We just want to continue to get better. We talk on a daily basis about improving as a team. We want to build off our success from last year and get further.”

Last season ended with a 1-0 loss to Tinley Park in the semifinals of the Class 3A Coal City Sectional. The Warriors are determined to make a deeper postseason run this year.

“We just have to come to practice prepared every day and work hard to get better,” Dieringer said. “We all have the same goals in mind. We want to win the conference again and do better at section- Lincoln-Way West ace Morghan Dieringer a senior, practices her als this year.” pitching during a recent practice.

There’s ‘nothing we can’t accomplish’ Fitness personality Jillian Michaels to motivate audiences at Joliet’s Rialto Square Theatre If you go

By DENISE M. BARAN–UNLAND dunland@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Give fitness personality Jillian Michaels two hours, she said in a recent interview, and there’s “nothing we can’t accomplish.”

That’s Michaels’ promise to anyone attending her “Maximize Your Life” show, scheduled for April 9 at the Rialto Square Theatre in Joliet.

This event – part of Michaels’ first speaking tour that’s traveling to 34 cities across the country – will be different from the NBC television shows, “The Biggest Loser” and “Losing it with Jillian Michaels.”

What people don’t see, Michaels said, is the 10 hours of footage that isn’t aired, the behind-the-scenes work that ultimately influences weight loss. It’s that part the audience will see April 9 – and one Michaels relishes.

“I enjoy direct contact with the audiences,” she said, “and the ability to be unedited, unfiltered and uncensored.”

That’s because Michaels, who once battled excess weight herself, said she considers herself less of a fitness champion and more of a motivator and role model, one willing and eager to show others the steps required for people attain their dreams.

“The only difference between myself and the audience is that I was given this information at a young age,” Michaels said.

People need an awareness of one’s purpose, commitment to the hard work necessary to attain it and the belief it can be done, and that includes fitness programs, Michaels said.

“Anyone can change any aspect of one’s life,” Michaels said.

According to Michael’s website, Michaels’ 20-plus years of fitness experience has included owning and

Jillian Michaels is scheduled to appear April 9 on the Rialto Square Theatre stage in Joliet.

“I enjoy direct contact with the audiences and the ability to be unedited, uniltered and uncensored.”

Jillian Michaels Fitness personality

operating a sports medicine facility, working as a physical therapy aid and attaining 17 years of experience in the martial arts Muay Thai and Akarui-Do, in which she holds a black belt.

Since 1993, Michaels has

held two personal training certificates from the United States’ leading certification programs. These are the National Exercise & Sports Trainers Association and the Aerobics and Fitness Association of America. She also de-

veloped a continuing education series for AFAA trainers.

Also, according to her website, Michaels holds a nutrition and wellness consultant certificate with the American Fitness Professionals and Associates. She is Kettlebell Concepts certified. This is Michael’s brand of fitness. It may not be, she said, another’s concept of “fitness.”

This is why Michaels asks, “What does health look like in your life?” Once “health” is defined, Michaels shows people how to remove the ob-

stacles and negative patterns blocking the way to health, such as “forgiving the past” and “moving past fear.”

“Fitness is just one tool for happier and healthier lives,” Michaels said.

Michaels also wants people to identify what satisfies them, as that will provide the motivation to not only lose weight but to keep it off, she said. Feeling stuck or unhappy? Michaels has been there, she said.

“Give me a chance to help you,” Michaels said.

Michaels’ passion, she said, lies with her family, as well as in her career: her television shows, her New York Times bestselling fitness books, her DVDs and her fitness contributions, according to her website, to the following charities: The American Cancer Society, Stand Up 2 Cancer, NFL Play 60 and the Alliance for a Healthier Generation.

“My work brings me tremendous amount of meaning,” Michaels said.

For individuals who can’t wait for her show Michaels’ “Maximize Your Life” show, Michaels’ website has information on routines, sample fitness and meal plans, apps and weight loss navigators.

However, during the show, be prepared to interact.

“I’ll be asking a lot of questions,” Michaels said.

“Bad Words” STARRING: Jason Bateman, Kathryn Hahn, Allison Janney

PLOT: A spelling bee loser sets out ot

“Noah” STARRING: Russell Crow, Jennifer Connelly, Anthony Hopkins

PLOT: A man is chosen to undertake a momentous mission of rescue before an apocalyptic lood destroys the world.

RATED: PG-13 for violence, disturbing images and brief suggestive content

TIME: 2 hours, 18 minutes VERDICT: Old Testament fury has rarely come to such spectacularly fearsome life than in “Noah,” Darren Aronofsky’s audacious adaptation of one of the Bible’s best-known but still enigmatic chapters. Be warned: Anyone familiar with the 500-year-old man and his ark may need to check some of their most cherished visualizations of him at the door. No cozy two-by-two images of beatific giraffes grace this “Noah.” Like any good artist, Aronofsky has avoided predictable, literalist retellings of beloved Sunday school stories, inserting new characters, bringing parenthetical figures to the fore and making one of history’s most enduring and universal myths his very own.

The result is a movie that is clearly deeply respectful of its source material but also at times startlingly revisionist, a go-for-broke throwback to Hollywood biblical epics of yore that combines grandeur and grace, as well as a generous dollop of goofy overstatement. Viewers might not agree about what they’ve seen when they come out of “Noah.” But there’s no doubt that Aronofsky has made an ambitious, serious, even visionary film, whose super-sized popcorn-movie vernacular might submerge the story’s more reflective implications, but never drowns them entirely.

Appropriately enough, Aronofsky starts In the Beginning, and after a brief prologue revisiting Adam and Eve, original sin and the fatal rivalry between Cain and Abel, catches up with Noah as a boy who, by virtue of his lineage and an enchanted snakeskin bestowed on him by his father, is clearly destined for greater things.

Conceived and staged like a conventional superhero origin story, “Noah” then finds the grown-up protagonist – played by a solemn, haunted-looking Russell Crowe – living in Canaan alongside his wife, Naameh (Jennifer Connelly), and their sons, Ham, Shem and, eventually, Japeth. When Noah begins to experience visions of the apocalyptic flood to come, Aronofsky choreographs them not as words-from-on-high messages from the divine, but as stylized, terrifying visions. He’s at his best with these fantastical, mystically inclined sequences. He’s just as expressive with the most technically challenging set pieces: the arduous construction of the enormous Ark (here produced according to Biblical proportions, down to the last cubit), the arrival of the

animals and that annihilating flood, which Aronofsky stages as a cascade of rainstorms, geysers and waves.

Amidst such visual busyness, Crowe and Connelly deliver impressively grounded, powerful performances, with Crowe playing Noah first as a humble, divinely inspired servant and, eventually, as a wild-eyed zealot, and Connelly brimming with earthy rectitude as his far more steady-eyed wife.

One of the most delightful reshufflings is a central role for Noah’s ancient forebear, Methusela, played by Anthony Hopkins in a convincing turn as a white-haired figure of mystical, oracular wisdom. So much of “Noah” is so good, that when discordant notes are sounded, they do so with clanging dissonance. The most distracting of Aronofsky’s creations, by far, are the Watchers – fallen angels who roam the broken world like mournful, stiff-jointed behemoths. Although it’s understandable that the filmmaker wanted to make “Noah” a parable of environmental stewardship, for many believers the story is primarily about hearing and responding to God’s voice. Aronofsky doesn’t necessarily give that reading short shrift, but as Noah becomes doctrinaire, it’s clear the filmmaker is far more interested in human agency. He even seems to anticipate the New Testament when Naameh pleads with her husband to reconsider his own dogmatism in favor of ideas such as mercy and simple goodness. Those are fascinating passages, beautifully presented

by Connelly as the movie’s most steadfast moral voice. As off-putting as “Noah’s” juiced-up subplots and cinder-eyed Watchers can be, it’s impossible not to be impressed, engaged and moved by Aronofsky’s own passionate commitment to the Noah story, which reportedly has captivated him since he was an adolescent.

“Divergent” STARRING: Shailene Woodley, Theo James, Kate Winslet

PLOT: In a world divided by factions based on virtues, Tris learns she’s Divergent and won’t it in. When she discovers a plot to destroy Divergents, Tris and the mysterious Four must ind out what makes Divergents dangerous before it’s too late.

RATED: PG-13 for intense violence and action, thematic elements and some sensuality TIME: 2 hours, 23 minutes VERDICT: If you have a kid of a cer-

tain age – especially a girl, preteen or thereabouts – then you know the young-adult entertainment message of choice these days: You’re you, and nobody else. Don’t let them deine you. Don’t let them put you into one of their neat little slots. You’re unique. And you’re gonna show the world. You go, girl! So it’s no surprise that this is the message of “Divergent,” the latest young adult blockbuster-in-waiting. It’s also no surprise the emerging young star Shailene Woodley delivers a crucial dose of humility, sensitivity and intelligence in this showcase role. And it’s no surprise, either, she generates nice chemistry with her rather absurdly good-looking co-star, Theo James. What is surprising is with all these promising elements, “Divergent,” the irst of three installments based on irst-time author Veronica Roth’s trilogy, ultimately feels so lackluster. For a ilm predicated on the principle that being different – or “divergent” – is what makes you special, “Divergent” just doesn’t diverge enough from the pack. Like “The Hunger Games,” the franchise to which it will unavoidably be compared, “Divergent” has a readymade audience of fans just waiting to ill those seats – more than 11 million books have been sold, after all. Those book fans will have a crucial head start. “Divergent” takes a good deal of time explaining plot mechanics, but If you already know what’s happening, you can spend more time admiring, say, those cheekbones on James – or his dayold, dystopian stubble. In a nutshell, “Divergent,” directed by Neil Burger, takes place in a futuristic Chicago, a bleak version indeed of the Windy City. Civilization is divided into ive factions, based on human virtues: Dauntless, Abnegation, Erudite, Amity, and Candor. Beatrice Prior (Woodley) is born into Abnegation.

But at age 16, a citizen can choose their own faction, at the Choosing Ceremony. Right before, they take an aptitude test that tells them which faction they it best. Beatrice’s results are downright scary: She has not one virtue, but all of them.

She is “divergent” – which makes her dangerous. At 143 minutes, the movie feels overly long, and by the end, you may want to hop onto one of those trains yourself and hope it arrives somewhere a lot less grim.

But two sequels await. So there’s always hope.

exact revenge by inding a loophole and attempting to win as an adult.

RATED: R for crude and sexual content, language and brief nudity TIME: 1 hour, 29 minutes VERDICT: If you’ve seen the poster for “Bad Words,” starring and directed by Jason Bateman, you’ll see a sneer on Bateman’s face. It’s truly nasty. More than most movie posters, this image sets a perfect tone for the ilm, much of which really IS that nasty. And funny.

Very, very funny. But more on that in a minute. It’s nothing new to see a ilm about a misanthrope. What does feel different in “Bad Words,” however, is the way Bateman’s character treats kids. Nobody dies or gets physically hurt. But feelings? KIDS’ feelings? They don’t just get hurt, they get smashed to smithereens, remorselessly and often profanely. Remember those two criminals in “Home Alone,” making life miserable for little Macaulay Culkin? Compared to Bateman’s Guy Trilby, those fellows were Santa Claus and Glinda the Good Witch of the North.

Bateman’s directorial debut is set in the singular world of the American spelling bee, where ruthlessly brainy kids compete for stardom, pushed by ruthlessly competitive parents. Trilby is 40 years old, but has found a loophole enabling him to compete: The rules say you can’t have passed the 8th grade. And he hasn’t. Ever. At the regional bee, Trilby shows what he’s capable of.

A chubby kid next to him asks what he’s doing onstage. “Your chair called me for help,” Trilby replies.

If you think that’s bad, just wait ‘til he taunts another competitor with the suggestion that he slept with the boy’s mom the previous night. But nothing compares with the emotional damage he inlicts on a shy young girl – we won’t discuss it here, but let’s just say we remain permanently scarred – with the goal of getting her to leave the competition abruptly.

To leave abruptly, or to “absquatulate” – that’s one of the words Trilby spells correctly. Another: “Floccinaucinihilipiliication,” or the action of estimating something as worthless – which is what Trilby does to everyone he meets. Turns out Trilby may be a misanthrope,

but he has a genius IQ. And so he makes the inals of the Golden Quill, which, wouldn’t ya know it, are being televised for the irst time. This causes great worry for Dr. Deagan, who runs the bee with an iron ist (Allison Janney, who makes you laugh even before she opens her mouth) and the chief overseeing it all, Dr. Bowman (the august Philip Baker Hall.) Trilby’s accompanied by a reporter, Jenny Widgeon (Kathryn Hahn, reliably kooky) whose editors are funding his cross-country trip on the mere chance he’ll reveal his inner purpose (let’s just note here that these editors are unrealistically generous). The two have a relationship consisting of awkward sexual trysts and many insults, most from Trilby. But the central dynamic is really between Trilby and a precociously adorable 10-year-old boy, Chaitanya Chopra (Rohan Chand), who seeks Trilby’s friendship even though the latter peppers him, too, with insults – calling him “Slumdog” and telling him to shut his “curry-hole” in reference to his ethnic heritage. The two have some amusing scenes, especially a nightlong extravaganza of inappropriate behavior that may have some of you parents in the audience, er, “absquatulating,” or at least avidly “loccinaucinihilipiliicating” the screenplay. So what’s the point of it all? Well, it’s an American movie that seeks to be mainstream, and it stars the likable Bateman, so of course you know there’s an underlying reason for what Trilby’s doing, one that will emerge in due course. But to the ilm’s credit, this twist doesn’t announce itself too soon, and so there’s tension here – not to mention hilarity. There are deinitely moments that go too far.

But if you know what you’re getting into – an R-rated comedy about a (mostly) nasty guy – it’s hard to imagine you won’t ind yourself helplessly “cachinnating” at some points. “Cachinnating?” Laughing hard. Trilby would know how to spell it. – The Associated Press

Play one suit to help another

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Dr. Stuart Brown and Christopher Vaughan said, “The genius of play is that, in playing, we create imaginative new cognitive combinations. And in creating those novel combinations, we find what works.”

Early in our bridge careers, we meet novel suit combinations and try to work out what to do. Then we hope to remember them for the future. Sometimes, though, we cannot take a suit combination in isolation; we must be influenced by the full deal.

In this example, how should South play the diamond suit for four tricks in isolation, and how within the context of trying to make three no-trump?

South starts with seven top tricks: two spades, one heart, three diamonds and one club.

Assuming he can get a fourth diamond winner, he needs one more trick from somewhere.

Even if the hearts are 3-3, perhaps there won’t be time to establish the extra trick.

The defenders might first take two hearts and three spades.

Instead, declarer should go for two club tricks by taking a pair of finesses through East.

However, that requires reaching dummy twice, which can happen only in diamonds.

Taking diamonds in isolation, South would cash his king, then cross to dummy’s ace, in case East has jackfourth. But not here; declarer needs diamonds 3-2.

He cashes his king and queen, overtakes his 10 with dummy’s ace, and plays a club to his jack. It loses, but he wins the next spade, leads his diamond four to dummy’s eight, takes a second club finesse, and claims nine tricks.

Medical wake-up call prompts questions about life DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips

Studies confirm that drinking tea has health benefits Dear Doctor K: Is drinking tea good for my health? Which type has the most health benefits?

Dear Reader: Several studies have touted the health benefits of tea, but the benefits of particular foods or drinks are hard to prove.

The most persuasive type of study to prove that any practice has health benefits is a randomized trial. When I say “practice,” I mean a medicine, a surgical procedure, a particular food or exercise routine – any practice designed in part to improve your health. In such studies, some study participants are assigned at random to engage in the practice, and others are not.

While the benefits of a medicine may be apparent pretty quickly, that wouldn’t be true of a food. It might take decades of regularly eating a food to have a positive health effect. That’s one problem. Another is that it’s not really practical to expect that people will deliberately eat (or avoid eating) a particular food, day in and day out, for decades.

However, it still is possible through what are called observational studies to gather strong evidence about the health benefits of foods. And most of the research has found that whether it’s black, white, green or oolong, drinking a few cups of tea a day may help

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff counteract the processes that lead to cancer, heart disease and dementia.

Recently the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition published 11 new studies highlighting the many ways in which tea can may improve our well-being. Here are a few of the results from these studies: • Tea drinking appears to lower the risk for heart disease and stroke.

• Natural compounds called polyphenols in green tea might protect against several cancers.

These include prostate, GI tract, lung, breast and skin cancers.

• Caffeine and antioxidants called catechins found in green, oolong and white teas may increase metabolism and promote weight loss.

• Tea polyphenols may strengthen bones and protect against fractures.

• People who drink tea could see improvements in mood, concentration and performance.

Tea appears to be distinctively rich in certain healthful properties. My colleague Dr. Howard

Sesso, associate professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School, explains that tea is particularly plentiful in catechins and epicatechins. These antioxidants are believed to be responsible for many of tea’s health effects.

The less processed tea leaves are, the more health-promoting catechins they contain. Green teas have the most nutritional benefit, followed by oolong and black teas.

Avoid bottled teas, which are often loaded with excess sugar.

And don’t heap spoonfuls of sugar into your tea. You can add a little honey or lemon to taste without compromising the purity of your tea. But stop there.

If caffeine makes you jittery or keeps you awake at night, stick to decaf or lower-caffeine varieties, such as white tea.

If you’re just not a tea drinker, don’t despair. The research is still too preliminary to conclude that everyone should regularly drink tea. And if you’re a coffee drinker? Good news: Coffee may protect against Type 2 diabetes and some forms of cancer.

Dr. Wallace: I found your list of important school employees very interesting, but flawed.

You said that teachers were most important, and I agree. As least important, you listed the principal, and I can agree with that. But I disagree with all of your other “important” personnel on the list being listed before the school secretary.

No school could function without a secretary.

Who is the first person who must deal with irate parents? The secretary!

Who is the person who takes care of important phone calls? The secretary. Who is the person who is designated in charge when the principal is off campus?

The secretary. Who is the person who has to bandage scraped knees when the nurse is absent? The secretary. Who is the person who must make sure that classes are covered whenever a teacher has an emergency? The secretary.

Please be more kind to the most important member of a school’s staff next to the teacher.

– Secretary, Bakersfield, Calif.

Dear Secretary: I wasn’t forgetting the importance of the school secretary when I placed this invaluable team member after the cafeteria manager (a school functions on its stomach), but before the head custodian (who fixes the electrical problem when the campus goes dark?

The head custodian).

But in my next rating of school personnel, I will be sure to evaluate the school secretary more generously. (Who gives a student money to buy lunch when he forgets it?

The secretary.)

For those principals who were upset and contacted me because I said that principals were least important: Of

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace course, principals make important decisions and are responsible to see that all certificated staff members perform in concert so students receive a quality education. But when they are at principal meetings away from campus, their schools function properly in their absence.

Dr. Wallace: Nick and I dated for over a year and we really were a great couple. We had a lot in common and enjoyed the same activities. When my dad got a new job and we moved over 400 miles away, we were both devastated. We decided to remain faithful to each other.

After Christmas I started attending my best friend’s church and went to a youth conference with her last month. Now I’ve met a lot of new friends at the church and one of them is a really nice guy who asked me to go out with him. I told him I’d think about it, but I didn’t tell him about Nick.

I’ve been thinking this over, and I’ve decided that I would like to go out with this guy, but I still care about Nick.

What should I do? – Amber, Uniontown, Pa. Dear Amber: Contact Nick and tell him you care for him very much, but feel it would be better if you both dated others and became active in high school activities.

The plain fact is that two years is too long a time between visits. You don’t need to volunteer the fact that you’ve been asked out, but if he asks, be honest.

Dear Disappointed: I hope you realize this letter isn’t about skydiving, but your husband’s refusal to help you celebrate your new lease on life.

A successful marriage is one in which a couple ideally grows TOGETHER. If your husband is unwilling or unable to do that, then “where you go from here” is to first ask him if he’s willing to talk to a marriage counselor with you. If he’s not, then schedule some sessions for yourself with a licensed professional and discuss the circumstances that led to your “wake-up call.” It will help you rationally – and unemotionally – decide how best to enjoy this gift of life you have been given.

Dear Abby: You have addressed cellphone etiquette in your column before, but in this day and age it bears repeating.

We attended a meeting for parents and students last night at our child’s high school. Inevitably, a cellphone rang, which can happen to anyone. The ring was quickly silenced.

A few minutes later, another cellphone started ringing. Rather than mute it, the parent answered it and proceeded to have a conversation during the meeting while a school staff person was making a presentation. The parent was sitting in the back row – he could have easily slipped out to have this “important” conversation.

It was extremely annoying and rude. – Annoyed In Iowa Dear Annoyed: At most events an announcement is made beforehand that cellphones should be turned off. If there is an interruption, an experienced speaker will pause until the interruption ceases. From your letter, I assume that isn’t what happened last night.

ADVICE | The Herald-News / TheHerald-News.com

Dear Abby: I have been married almost four years. Recently I had some medical problems that were my wake-up call. I’m fine now, but I no longer am willing to wait for “someday.”

I decided to try some new hobbies, one of which is skydiving. I had said for years I’d never do it because I’m afraid of heights. But I have changed my mind, and for me, this is a big deal.

When I asked my husband what he thought, his response was, “I’m not spending the day just to see you jump out of an airplane.” Talk about disappointing!

I have always “gone with the flow” when he has wanted to do something.

His response has left me wondering about a lot of things. I have had enough of his negativity. He doesn’t do anything except stay home. I guess I expected him to be excited for me, or to say he didn’t want me doing it. The first is what I would have preferred.

Now I’m not sure where I go from here. – Disappointed In San Diego

“Big Men” tells a story that’s riveting on its own but also serves as a parable about greed and human nature.

‘Big Men’ tells a riveting story

By STEPHANIE MERRY The Washington Post Documentarian Rachel Boynton must have some serious powers of persuasion. Not only did she get remarkable access to the employees and boardrooms of an oil company on the cusp of a massive discovery, but she also interviewed masked, armed bandits in Nigeria, corrupt government officials in Africa and dealmakers at the Blackstone Group investment firm.

But Boynton’s most impressive feat in “Big Men” is how she takes an impossibly convoluted scenario, makes sense of it and tells a story that’s riveting on its own but also serves as a parable about greed and human nature.

If “Big Men” were a fictional movie, it would be something akin to “Syriana,” with characters from all corners of society demonstrating how a big oil discovery affects their lives. The most prominent player is Jim Musselman, the founding partner and chief executive of fledgling Kosmos Energy. His company, with the help of Blackstone and other investors, has taken a huge risk betting on oil fields off the coast

of Ghana when the movie opens in 2007. With big risks come the potential for big rewards: As the pioneering exploratory company, Kosmos secured a sweet deal from Ghana’s government (and its state-run oil company) should the Jubilee oil field pan out.

Jubilee turns out to be a trove of black gold, which is good news and bad news for Kosmos. Once a new president takes over in Ghana, the favorable deal the company had struck with the previous administration isn’t quite so iron-clad as it seemed. It’s Ghana’s oil, president John Atta Mills reasons, and the people of Ghana should be the ones to prosper from the discovery. Meanwhile, the Department of Justice starts asking Kosmos some pointed questions about bribery, which Musselman, an affable Texan, greets incredulously.

Welcome to the big leagues.

To give some additional context to what’s at stake, Boynton travels to Nigeria, another African country blessed and cursed with oil resources. The discovery, initially made in the 1950s, has been a boon for corrupt politicians, who have embezzled hundreds of millions of dollars. But much of the rest of the country has remained in stark

poverty. Groups of desperados have responded to the injustice by either sabotaging oil production or draining pipelines and selling the oil on a thriving black market.

Wrangling so many stories and all of the necessary information into one documentary is an incredible feat, and editor Seth Bomse pieces it together in a way that’s both informative and surprisingly suspenseful as the discord between Musselman, his investors and government officials in Ghana grows.

To her credit, Boynton doesn’t seem to have an agenda here so much as a desire to explain what’s happening and letting each participant tell his or her story. What she makes clear, though, is that the possibility of disaster is very real for everyone involved.

“Big Men” harkens back to such mythology as King Midas and Pandora’s Box. But unlike in those fated tales, Boynton has the foresight to see the potential tragedies before they become a reality.

• “Big Men” received three-and-ahalf stars out of four. The film is unrated and contains nothing objectionable.

It runs 99 minutes.
