Romeoville mayor lists progress in his State of the Village address

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com ROMEOVILLE – Mayor John Noak touted the village’s economic success and plans for the future in the 2014 Romeoville State of the Village address luncheon Thursday with business leaders in Romeoville and surrounding communities.

Several legislators and mayors from the surrounding community also attended the luncheon, which was sponsored by the Romeoville John Noak Area Chamber of Commerce.

“We’ve transformed what was once a blighted area of the community, to one that attracts people from throughout the region,” Noak said, calling the new athletic and events center a catalyst for development in the downtown area.

The facility attracted a Nike basketball tournament that will be held in April and will feature more than 350 teams, fill 1,000 to 1,500 hotel rooms in the area and provide business for the area, Noak said.

The center’s soccer fields are currently operational, but the full facility will open March 24 and host an open house in April. The center will share the lot with Franconi’s Italian grocery and Fat Ricky’s restaurant. Both will open by next January.

Noak also said a developer

Key points in Romeoville Mayor John Noak’s State of the Village address: • Continue to develop Uptown Square and vacant areas near downtown • Move ahead on development of Route 53 corridor • Continue to attract new business • Encourage existing businesses to expand operations is planning a 9,000-square-foot shopping center in the village and is proposing a multi-use development on the empty land between the Romeoville library and athletic center.

Additional development includes a new 10,000-square-foot medical office building along Route 53, and a new McDonald’s downtown.

Noak said the village has seen 85 new businesses move into the area and 1,500 new jobs created in 2013.

Several industrial companies including Pizzuti, Fedex, Valspar and Peacock Engineering have expanded operations in Romeoville and are contributing to job growth, Noak said.

Chamber of commerce board of directors chairman Amando Arias said the mayor has been open to business and hopes the relationship with the village continues.

“We need to get the word out with small businesses,” Arias said. “I’d like to see the

And Romeoville was ranked the fifth best area for homeownership in the state by NerdWallet.

A new 220-unit apartment complex on Normantown Road near Brunswick Lane will continue the village’s efforts to keep residents in Romeoville.

Noak thanked several organizations for their service to the village, including village department heads, churches and several new businesses that contributed to area growth.

LOTTERY

JOLIET – Joliet Finance Director Rachel Mayer will step down later this month to take a similar position in Naperville.

Mayer, who joined the city staff nearly four years ago, announced her resignation Thursday.

“I wasn’t really looking, but this opportunity came up and I thought it was one I couldn’t

pass up,” Mayer said.

Mayer will work in Joliet for another week. She starts March 31 in Naperville.

She noted that Joliet is in a unique position with its low debt, but that the city will face a challenge with pension liabilities in the years to come.

“She did a great job,” Mayor Tom Giarrante said. “Our loss is going to be Naperville’s gain.”

Mayer is the latest in a

number of high-level staffers to leave the city, including former City Manager Tom Thanas, former Assistant City Manager Ben Bensen and former Police Chief Mike Trafton.

“Staff is shorthanded and hasn’t had a raise in a few years,” Giarrante said. “If we don’t do something, I am afraid we’re going to be losing more.”

Management and nonunion pay levels in the city have been frozen since 2008.

CORRECTIONS The article, “Man takes tiger for a walk,” that was on page 2 of the Wednesday, Feb. 26, 2014, edition of The Herald-News, incorrectly stated that John Basile had been charged with a misdemeanor count of disorderly conduct. Basile is not facing that charge.

Homer Junior High School eighth-grader wins county spelling bee

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com

• Friday, March 7, 2014

PLAINFIELD – After a marathon competition that went to 43 rounds, Homer Junior High School eighth-grader Meghana Kamineni repeated as Will County Spelling Bee champion Thursday.

Kamineni won with the word “bolshevik,” after she spelled “darukhzy” in the 42nd round to set up her victory.

“I’m just really relieved I won,” said Kamineni, who qualifies for the Scripps National Spelling Bee in Washington, D.C. “I just kept imagining winning, and I got through it.”

Kamineni had to battle 14 rounds with Brooks Middle School eighth-grader Christopher Bavaro, who fell in the 42nd round on the word “dachshund” and got second place.

The spelling bee, organized by the Will County Regional Office of Education and sponsored by ComEd and Lewis University, was held at Troy Middle School and lasted nearly three and a half hours, making it the longest spelling bee Will County Regional Superintendent Shawn Walsh has ever seen.

Before the bee, several parents were nervous, but happy their kids made it to the Will County round.

Donna Cook was nervous for her son, Tom, a seventh-grader at Martino Junior High School in New Lenzo. But she described him as a competitor.

“I want him to win, but I just want him to have fun and enjoy it,” Cook said. Parents of students were nervous for their contestants, but made sure Derek Blaszkiewicz was taking video of his son, St. Dennis, seventh-grader Daniel Blaszkiewicz.

“I had an older son here last year, so I know what to expect,” Blaszkiewicz said. “You get used to it, but it’s still exciting.”

Judicial candidates make case for March primaries

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Judicial candidates in the March 18 primary presented their credentials at a forum held Thursday by the Will County Bar Association.

State rules of conduct prohibit judicial candidates from making statements about cases, controversies or issues that are likely to come before the court. But they are able to talk about their qualifications and desire to get behind the bench, which candidates did at the forum. Two of the judicial primaries are contested.

Will County narrowing down new courthouse design teams

By LAUREN LEONE-CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Will County is getting closer to building a new courthouse after narrowing down the potential planning and design teams to three Thursday.

The county does not have a timetable yet for building a courthouse. Nor has it made a final commitment to do it. But county officials said the selection of a planning and design team will bring the project closer to reality.

Six teams that specialize in courthouse facilities Thursday presented their qualifications to the Ad-Hoc Courthouse Initial Programming Committee.

The county sent out a nationwide request for qualifications Jan. 16.

“We have to do this to get a true sense of what we need in terms of space, in terms of money,” said Denise Winfrey, D-Joliet, who chairs the committee.

“This is a very initial step, but it’s taking us in the right direction.”

Cordogan Clark & Associates, of Aurora; Wight & Company, of Darien; and NBBJ/ Studio GC Architecture of Chicago will return Monday as finalists to present to the adhoc courthouse programming committee. Members will then recommend a team to the Will County Board, Winfrey said.

Board members could vote on a final team as early as its March 20 meeting, she said.

A new courthouse could cost anywhere between $140 million and $200 million, depending on how many courtrooms the county decides to build. It’s likely the courthouse will be built where the First Midwest Bank, 50 W. Jefferson St., currently stands.

Chief Judge Richard C. Schoenstedt, a big supporter of a new courthouse, said the top three teams were chosen because of their experience in designing and building courthouses of similar size and county population.

“I’m looking for a team that keeps in mind the county’s need for potential growth,”

he said, making note that the county will need 50 judges during the next 25 years – up from the current 35.

The teams discussed the need for modern courthouse security, which the current facility lacks, along with designing the space in a way that leaves room for such growth. Depending on the team that’s chosen, the planning stage could take anywhere from two to six months.

Working in a tight budget was also key to narrowing down the teams, Schoenstedt said.

“Part of finding a team is to try to put a number, a price tag, on this project,” he said. “We’re not the experts. These people are. Most of the teams acknowledged our budget issues.”

As chief judge, Schoenstedt has spent a lot of time in the 45-year-old overcrowded courthouse facility. He said he’s happy with the progress made so far.

“From where we were a year ago, I’m absolutely ecstatic,” he said.

SUBCIRCUIT 1 Judge Robert Livas’ pending retirement will leave a vacancy in Subcircuit 1. Assistant Public Defender Sherri Hale is unopposed in the Democratic primary there. But Dan Rippy and Cosmo Tedone face each other as Republicans.

Rippy came to Will County in 2000 to take a job with the state’s attorney’s office. He worked drafting criminal legislation in Springfield before returning to private practice here.

“The people I’ve worked with here have become a family... I want to show integrity, honor and respect for them,” Rippy said.

Tedone has been a defense attorney here for 14 years.

“I’ve practiced almost exclusively in Will County and I love what I do. I believe in the Constitution. That’s what I will stand for,” he said.

There is also a newly created judge’s seat in Subcircuit 1 that will be filled in November by either attorney Diana Para, a Democrat, or Associate Judge Dave Carlson, a Republican. Both are uncontested in the primary.

SUBCIRCUIT 2 Associate Judge Dinah Archambeault is unopposed in the Republican primary for Subcircuit 2, but seven Democrats are pursuing that seat.

Private attorney Jim Mur-

phy has been a lawyer since 1987. He listed a range of experience from racketeering appeals to tax issues representing municipalities and individuals.

“I’ve practiced in nine other counties and I think that breadth of experience makes a difference when you’re administrating in court,” he told the audience.

Tina Filipiak has spent 22 years as an Assistant State’s Attorney, almost all of them as the chief of the juvenile division.

“I’ve been in court every day fighting for victims, fighting for children,” Filipiak said.

“The judge is not all powerful.

The judge needs to give everyone a chance to be heard. I will do that.”

Daniel Kennedy, an attorney since 1986, still works parttime as a public defender. He said judgeships should not be subject to a partisan race.

“I’m not a politician. You have to run as a Democrat or Republican, but can’t say what you’re beliefs are. If you then get elected, you’re expected to disavow politics,” Kennedy said.

Associate Judge David Garcia said sitting on the bench means making tough decisions. As an attorney Garcia focused on criminal defense, but now oversees divorce court.

Assistant State’s Attorney Moira Dunn said while she is younger than most of the candidates and comes from a political family, she has worked her way up from the bottom before and views this race the same way.

Assistant Public Defender Stewart Ferreira has worked regularly at different levels of government for 30 years and said he has focused on making the interests of the public his highest priority.

Attorney Dawn Underhill has also worked with different agencies, overseeing many environmental cases for the county before moving into private practice.

Joliet woman accused of phony prescription BRAIDWOOD – Police said a Joliet woman used someone else’s name to call in a drug prescription Tuesday.

Chief Rich Girot said a prescription was called into Doc’s Drugs, 280 Comet Drive, but the pharmacist checked with the doctor’s office to learn it was fraudulent and called police.

Renee L. Stewart, 38, then came in and used another name to pick it up, Girot said.

“An officer was in the drug store and watched as she had the prescription filled then placed her under arrest,” he said.

Stewart was arrested on charges of drug possession and fraud and booked into the Will County Jail.

bwimbiscus@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Vilaseca Day Care Center has raised $16,000 so far but needs to raise more money to stay open.

The bilingual Catholic day care center and preschool has been in Joliet for 40 years, but a drop-off in enrollment has brought it to the brink of closure. News of Vilaseca’s troubles came out in early February.

Vilaseca will host two fundraisers in the next few weeks trying to raise another $44,000 to stay open.

The bilingual Catholic day care center and preschool at 351 N. Chicago St. usually has a waiting list of children hoping to enroll. But enrollment fell from an average of 80 children to 49 earlier this year, creating the financial crisis.

Word of the program’s troubles has prompted a response from the community.

“The public has responded very well,” said Sister Arace-

To help Two fundraisers are planned for Vilaseca: • Heroes fundraiser: 11 a.m to 10 p.m. Monday, Hero’s West Sports Grill, 1530 Commerce Drive, Joliet.

Hero’s will donate 10 percent of all net sales to Vilaseca. Customers supporting Vilaseca also can enter a raffle for a $25 gift card.

• Spaghetti dinner: Noon to 7 p.m., March 16, Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church, 205 E. Jackson St., Joliet. Dinner includes spaghetti, bread and salad. Pizza, desserts and beverages will be available for additional purchase. The event also will include a silent auction, 50/50 drawings and musical presentations. Tickets are $7 for adults and $3 for children 10 and younger. Call 815-727-1467. li Perez, Vilaseca’s director.

“We’ve raised $16,000 so far.”

Six more children have enrolled in the school in the last couple weeks, Perez said.

On Monday, Heroes West

Sports Grill, 1530 Commerce Drive in Joliet, will donate a portion of sales to Vilaseca. A spaghetti dinner will be held March 16 from noon to 7 p.m. at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church, 205 E. Jackson St., Joliet.

Vilaseca is sponsored mostly through tuition and the United Way. The state Board of Education sponsors the food program for the meals, which are prepared by the staff. The Catholic Diocese of Joliet has helped the daycare before, but does not oversee it.

There currently are five programs or classes for children from 15 months to kindergarten licensed by the Department of Children and Family Services. Vilaseca has 16 employees and four nuns on staff. The nuns began the program in 1974, operating from a house on Herkimer Street before moving into the former KSKJ building. Vilaseca holds Mother’s Day and Christmas programs at the Bicentennial Park Theater.

Weather not stopping St. Patrick’s Day parade

By DAN FARNHAM dfarnham@shawmedia.com LEMONT – The temperature may be colder than what people are used to, but Lemont residents are expected to turn out for the village’s St. Patrick’s Day Parade and Festival on Saturday.

The parade starts at 1 p.m.

The parade starts at the Lemont Safety Village, 55 Stephen St. It will travel south on Stephen to Main Street, and west to the Lemont VFW Hall, 15780 New Ave. According to Village of Lemont Marketing Coordinator Donna Pecina, the first Irish parade in Lemont was held by canal and quarry workers in the mid-1800s.

The first modern parade was started by the owners of Annie Gleason’s Christmas Inn at the corner of Stephen and Talcott streets and became an organized event in 1992, she said.

The festivities continue after the parade at the VFW with music, dancers and refreshments served until 5 p.m. Murphy Roche, Hughes Academy of Irish Dance and Celtic Sounds are scheduled performers.

Lynn will join in the post-parade festivities by playing Irish fiddle.

The Chicago Stockyard Kilty Band will participate in Lemont’s St. Patrick’s Day Parade on Saturday.

LOCKPORT – City officials in Lockport will consider making an emergency water supply connection with Joliet.

After noticing they lacked an emergency water supply connection with another community, city officials are now recommending the city enter an agreement with Strand Associates that would produce a report and preliminary engineering. The cost of the study would cost up to $23,150.

Strand Associates recommended the city consider having a connection with another area, City Administrator Ben Benson said at Wednesday’s committee of the whole meeting.

“I forget the name of the community that invested in an emergency connection,” Benson said, when remembering a conversation with a Strand Associates representative. “Three years later they had an emergency and were able to connect and it would have been a real problem. It’s kind of like buying insurance.”

The report would focus on a potential emergency supply connection with Joliet’s water distribution system near Rosalind and Farrell roads. This area would be closest for the connection and limit construction costs, city officials said.

While Joliet has multiple connections with other communities, Benson said a connection with Joliet is ideal because it is the closest and has no water system issues.

“If I had my choice between the municipalities and it was fairly equal, I would probably still then go toward the Joliet system just because they’re so robust,” he said.

Third Ward Alderman Jason VanderMeer said pur-

suit of the project was a good idea but wondered if it would eventually be completed in the future.

“I don’t know if it makes sense to do a study on something that we have no plans to execute,” he said.

Benson said an emergency water supply connection would eventually be needed and the city would not waste money to conduct a study.

Council members are scheduled to vote on funding the study at the next city council meeting on April 2.

Report: Fewer kids lack health insurance

By LAUREN LEONE-CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Both the good and bad can be found in the Illinois Kids Count 2014 report released Thursday.

Statewide and local findings of the report were revealed at a morning news conference at Aunt Martha’s Community Health Center, 1200 Eagle St., Joliet, while other conferences were held statewide.

The 2014 annual report reveals “disturbing health disparities” related to income, race and ethnicity, special health care needs, and other factors.

At the same time, the num-

ber of children living in poverty in Will County increased 82 percent between 2006 and 2011, compared to 19 percent statewide.

The child poverty rate in the county rose 7 percent in 2006 to 12 percent in 2012, while over that same time period, the statewide child poverty rate rose from 17 to 21 percent.

“It was very alarming that it increased 82 percent [in Will County] over a period of a couple of years,” said Christine Bzdon, executive director of Child Care Resource and Referral, who spoke at the conference.

At the same time, children’s enrollment in Med-

icaid and related health programs in Will County increased 120 percent between 2005 and 2012, compared to 47 percent statewide.

“That is really a good thing, but … it just confirms the number of children that are in poverty,” Bzdon said.

Dale Evans, social services and family self-sufficiency coordinator for the Housing Authority of Joliet, said children in low-income families also are less likely to receive comprehensive and preventative dental care, more likely to be overweight and to have oral health problems.

The good news is fewer children statewide and in

Will County are going without health insurance thanks to the expansion of the Affordable Healthcare Act and Medicaid programs, Evans said.

Evans said policy steps must be taken to reduce such disparities, including maintaining funding for Medicaid and related programs, ensuring successful implementation of the ACA, supporting families, and improving mental health services.

“We hope this report will spark conversations among communities, service providers, advocates, policymakers on what we’re doing now that works and what more each of us can do,” he said.

Illinois Urbana-Champaign adds sex change coverage

By DAVID MERCER The Associated Press URBANA – University of Illinois trustees voted Thursday to add coverage for sex change operations and treatment to the health insurance plan used by many students at the flagship campus.

About 28,000 of the Urbana-Champaign campus’ 40,000-plus students use the insurance. To cover the cost of the sex change coverage, undergraduates next fall will pay $2 more per semester for the insurance, while graduate students will pay $3 more.

Trustees, who govern the three university campuses, added sex change coverage at the Chicago campus last year after some students requested it. The Springfield cam-

pus’ insurance plan does not offer such coverage.

Most trustee votes are unanimous and involve little if any discussion, but two of the 10 trustees voted against covering sex change operations.

Dr. Timothy Koritz, the board’s only physician and one of the two trustees who voted against extending the coverage, argued that not all parents or students who pay for the insurance should have to help cover a procedure they might oppose on moral grounds. He also questioned whether it was wise to offer insurance that would enable students as young as 18 to make life-changing decisions that can’t be reversed.

“This type of surgery that’s proposed would result

in complete and irreversible sterility,” said Koritz, an anesthesiologist from Rockford.

“Having kids is one of the greatest things that can happen in your life. I don’t know if I realized that at age 18 or not.”

Michael Cunningham, the Urbana-Champaign campus student trustee who cast the other no-vote, said he doubted most of his fellow students knew about the vote.

“I would make the argument that 90 percent of this campus has no idea this is being added,” he said. “How can we as a board consider something that hasn’t been properly vetted by the campus?”

Stephanie Skora, the president of the student group Campus Union for Trans Equality, urged the trustees

to extend the coverage for the well-being of students who need the surgery.

“Their academic and mental well-being is severely put at risk,” Skora said. “Do the right thing politically, do the right thing morally.”

Some Chicago campus students have taken advantage of the sex change coverage since its plan was extended, said campus spokesman Bill Burton. He said didn’t know exactly how many.

The sex change coverage proposal was approved as part of a larger increase in the cost of student health insurance on all three campuses. Students who don’t have other insurance must purchase the campus insurance, said university system spokesman Tom Hardy.

Mary Shepard, who survived a brutal attack in 2009 by an intruder while working at her church in Anna, receives a standing ovation during a concealed carry meeting Feb. 26 in Cobden. Shepard now has her permit to have a handgun in public.

Victim who supported concealed carry gets permit

By JIM SUHR The Associated Press ST. LOUIS – A southern Illinois retiree whose legal fight helped bring about an end to the state’s last-in-thenation ban on concealed carry has become among the state’s first to get her permit to have a handgun in public.

Mary Shepard, 74, considered the mail she received Tuesday from Illinois State Police a reward – partly for slogging through ice and snow to her mailbox at the end of a long, rural driveway, and partly because of her legal push that followed a 2009 church attack that left her severely beaten while unarmed.

“I flipped through the mail, and there it was,” Shepard told The Associated Press by telephone from her home near Cobden. “I was just so over-the-top thrilled and unbelievably happy. I had waited so long for this, and I felt like I accomplished something. And here it was, making everything just worthwhile. I couldn’t wait to tell everyone.”

Shepard, whose permit arrival was first reported

by WSIL-TV in Harrisburg became a gun-rights activist after she was randomly assaulted by an intruder

while working as a treasurer at First Baptist Church in Anna. She has argued that had she not been barred from carrying a gun, she could have thwarted the attack.

After Shepard sued to have the state’s concealed carry ban thrown out, the Chicago-based 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in December 2012 that the prohibition was unconstitutional. After months of debate, Illinois lawmakers last summer narrowly beat a federal court deadline and adopted the concealed carry law over Gov. Pat Quinn’s vehement objections – something Shepard called Thursday “a great victory.”

The five-year licenses, which started being sent out last week, largely went to the earliest applicants: firearms instructors and others who submitted electronic fingerprints ahead of the official Jan. 5 launch of the online application process. Illinois State Police have approved roughly 5,000 concealed-carry applications.

More work lies ahead: Already, about 46,000 applications have been submitted, putting the state on track to field nearly 300,000 applications this year. That’s about some 100,000 fewer than originally projected.

SPRINGFIELD – Illinois’ public university presidents Thursday spelled out a doomsday scenario of cuts should the state’s temporary tax increase expire as scheduled next January, a move they say would disproportionately affect the number of low-income students while others flee to schools outside the state.

The state currently allocates $3.3 billion for higher education. But Illinois expects a $1.5 billion loss of revenue if the individual income tax rates roll back in 2015 from 5 percent to 3.75 percent and corporate rates drop from 7 percent to 5.25 percent.

Southern Illinois University President Glenn Poshard told a Senate appropria-

tions committee that higher education institutions are bracing for a 30 percent decrease in funding next year, which would mean increases in student-to faculty ratios, fewer course offerings and graduate assistantship programs and more classes being taught by adjunct professors instead of more highly paid tenured professors at Illinois’ nine public universities.

The tuition hikes, he said, would cut down on the ability for poorer students to earn college degrees.

“Our tuition has doubled over the last several years at our institution as well as most others,” Poshard said.

“We had to make up for that loss of state funds and these families just can’t afford it.

The average family income in southern Illinois is $36,000 a year,” he said.

Following several consecutive years of budget cuts, an unanticipated $1.2 billion increase in tax revenue last year from taxpayers selling assets before new tax laws took effect allowed lawmakers to slightly increase higher education funding for 2014.

But university officials told the committee that the state’s financial troubles still are having an impact on schools’ day-to-day operations.

Western Illinois University President Jack Thomas says the state’s backlog of bills has already created budget headaches for his institution, which is waiting on $26.7 billion in money it’s been promised this year.

“The uncertainty of these payments requires great finessing in accounting,” he said, “it compounds and adds to the ever growing cost of higher education.”

NATION&WORLD Obama: West won’t let Kremlin carve up Ukraine

House passes bill to block climate plan

By MATTHEW DALY The Associated Press

By BRADLEY KLAPPER and LARA JAKES The Associated Press WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama ordered the West’s first sanctions in response to Russia’s military takeover of Crimea on Thursday, declaring his determination not to let the Kremlin carve up Ukraine. He asserted that a hastily scheduled referendum on Crimea seceding and becoming part of Russia would violate international law.

E u r o p e a n l e a d e r s a nnounced their own measures but split over how forcefully to follow America’s lead. Obama threatened further steps if Russia persists.

All signs pointed to a continuing diplomatic battle over Ukraine’s territorial integrity and what could prove a broader fault line in Europe’s postCold War order.

While East and West no longer threaten nuclear war and have vastly expanded commercial ties, Russia is determined to dominate the future of the former Soviet republics along its borders. Washington, its NATO partners and others across the continent are striving to pull these nations out of Moscow’s orbit.

Underscoring his resolve to Putin, Obama issued an executive action slapping new visa restrictions on Russian and other opponents of Ukraine’s government in Kiev and authorizing wider financial penalties against those involved in the military intervention or in stealing state assets. None of the measures appeared aimed at the Russian president personally.

“Today the world can see that the United States is united with our allies and partners in upholding international law and pursuing a just outcome that advances global security and the future

President Barack Obama speaks Thursday about the situation in Ukraine in the briefing room of the White House in Washington. The president said a referendum for Ukraine’s Crimea region to separate and become part of Russia would violate international law. that the Ukrainian people deserve,” Obama said at the White House. “That’s what we’re going to continue to do in the days to come until we have seen a resolution to this crisis.”

Obama hailed U.S. cooperation with the European Union, which imposed its own sanctions on Russia on Thursday.

In an emergency meeting in Brussels, EU leaders decided to suspend talks with Putin’s government on a wide-ranging economic agreement and on granting Russian citizens visa-free travel within the 28-nation bloc – a long-standing Russian objective. Yet at the same time, Europe’s presidents and prime ministers were divided on more drastic steps such as freezing assets and issuing travel bans on Russian officials.

European hesitancy reflected the reality that targeting influential Russian businessmen or major Russian companies would also harm Europe’s economic interests.

Russian investors hold assets worth billions in European banks, particularly in Britain and Cyprus, and major exporters such as Germany and the Netherlands have far more at stake than the United States in Russia’s consumer economy.

Many other European countries depend on Russia for oil and gas supplies.

Russian troops have seized control of much of Crimea, where ethnic Russians are the majority. Moscow doesn’t recognize the Ukrainian government that came to power after protesters ousted the country’s pro-Russian president last month.

WASHINGTON – Aiming at the heart of President Barack Obama’s strategy for fighting climate change, the Republican-controlled House voted Thursday to block the administration’s plan to limit carbon pollution from new power plants.

The bill targets Obama’s proposal for the Environmental Protection Agency to set the first national limits on heat-trapping carbon pollution from future power plants. It’s part of the GOP’s election-year strategy to fight back against what Republicans call a “war on coal” by the Obama administration.

The bill passed by a 229183 vote. Ten Democrats, mostly from coal-producing states or the South, joined Republicans in support of it.

Three Republicans opposed the bill.

A similar measure is pending in the Senate but faces a more difficult path.

“The Obama administration clearly wants to use its regulatory agenda to end coalfired power generation in this country, but that is a pipe dream,” said Rep. Mike Simpson, R-Idaho, noting that coal provides nearly 40 percent of the nation’s electricity.

Rep. Ed Whitfield, R-Ky., called the EPA proposal “one of the most extreme regulations of the Obama administration. He said the proposed limits on carbon emissions would “make it impossible to build a new coal-fired power plant in America.”

As a practical matter, no new coal plants are currently being considered because of competition from cheap natural gas. But Whitfield and other Republicans argue that could change if natural gas prices keep rising. In that case, utility companies should be able to “go out and build a coal-powered

plant with reasonable regulations,” said Whitfield, who chairs the House subcommittee on energy and power.

The Whitfield-sponsored House bill requires EPA to set carbon emissions standards based on technology that has been in use for at least a year. Republicans and some coal-state Democrats say the EPA rule is based on carbon-capturing technology that doesn’t currently exist.

Rep. Henry Waxman, D-Calif., denounced the legislation as “a science-denial bill” that would strip the EPA of its ability to block carbon pollution. He and other Democrats called the bill a blatant attempt to thwart the EPA and vilify the Obama administration in an election year.

The White House has threatened to veto, saying the bill would “undermine public health protections of the Clean Air Act and stop U.S. progress in cutting dangerous carbon pollution from power plants.”

EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy and other officials have said the proposed rule – the first of two major regulations aimed at limiting carbon pollution from power plants – is based on carbon reduction methods that are “technically feasible” and under development in at least four sites. The rule affecting future plants is a prelude to a more ambitious plan, expected later this year, to curb carbon pollution from existing power plants.

“We looked at the data available. We looked at the technologies,” McCarthy told the Senate Environment Committee in January. “We made a determination that [carbon capture and storage technology] was the best system for emission reductions for coal facilities moving forward, because it was technically feasible and it would lead to significant emission reductions.”

ization of American culture.

The Girl Scouts’ national headquarters in New York rejected the groups’ appeal.

“Our partnership with Mattel focuses on career exploration and teaches girls about inspiring women in a fun way,” said spokeswoman Kelly Parisi. “We stand behind this partnership, as it helps us bring to over 2 million Girl Scouts the message that they can do anything.”

That’s the essence of the Barbie uniform patch – a bright pink oval with a gold-letter slogan stitched on it: “Be anything. Do everything.”

Barbie – still slim-waisted and long-legged after 55 years – had pursued roughly 150 different careers, and she stretched her boundaries again in February by posing along with real-life supermodels in Sports Illustrated’s 50th anniversary swimsuit issue. Anticipating the criticism that ensued, Mattel promoted the campaign with the catchword “unapologetic.”

In announcing the partnership with Mattel last year, Girl Scouts CEO Anna Maria Chavez depicted both her own organization and Barbie as “American icons.”

“Together, we are teaching girls that their futures are wide open with possibilities,” Chavez said at the time.

By CHRIS TOMLINSON The Associated Press AUSTIN, Texas – The last abortion clinic in the vast, impoverished Rio Grande Valley closed Thursday, along with the sole remaining clinic in the 100-mile stretch between Houston and the Louisiana border, posing a tall obstacle to women seeking to end pregnancies across a wide swath of the nation’s second-largest state.

The closures in McAllen and Beaumont bring to 19 the number of clinics that have shut down since Texas lawmakers adopted tough new abortion restrictions last summer. Twenty-four clinics remain to serve a population of 26 million people, and more closures could happen after additional restrictions take effect later this year.

Lawmakers required all

abortion doctors to have admitting privileges at a hospital within 30 miles, all abortions to take place in a surgical facility and all women seeking abortion-inducing medications to make four clinical visits. Those rules made it impossible for the clinics in Beaumont and McAllen to stay open, said Amy Hagstrom Miller, CEO of Whole Woman’s Health.

Anti-abortion lawmakers said the regulations are necessary to protect women’s health, but abortion-rights groups have sued the state claiming the restrictions are medically unnecessary and intended to shut down all Texas clinics that offer abortion services.

“Closing our clinics hurts us. But more importantly, it hurts the communities we have served,” Miller said Thursday at a news confer-

The Whole Woman’s Health clinics in Beaumont and McAllen had been open since 1973, when abortion was made legal by the U.S. Supreme Court’s Roe vs.

Wade decision.

Joe Pojman, executive director of Texas Alliance for Life, welcomed the clinic closures because, he said, those facilities did not adequately protect patients.

“Requiring a doctor at an abortion facility to have admitting privileges at a local hospital is common sense,” he said. “In the event of a serious complication from an abortion, the physician should be able to follow the patient to the emergency room to continue caring for his or her patient.”

NEW YORK – America’s top doll, Barbie, finds herself in controversy once again, this time over a business partnership between her manufacturer, Mattel, and the Girl Scouts.

On Thursday, two consumer advocacy groups often critical of corporate advertising tactics – the Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood and the Center for a New American Dream – criticized Barbie as a flawed role model for little girls and launched a petition drive urging the Girl Scouts of the USA to end the partnership. The Girls Scouts said they would not do so.

Just a few weeks ago, Mattel incurred widespread criticism – as well as some accolades – for letting Barbie be featured in Sports Illustrated’s annual swimsuit edition.

The Girl Scouts’ partnership with Mattel, announced last August, includes a Barbie-themed activity book, a website, and a Barbie participation patch – the first Girl Scout uniform patch with corporate sponsorship.

“Holding Barbie, the quintessential fashion doll, up as a role model for Girl Scouts simultaneously sexualizes young girls, idealizes an impossible body type, and undermines the Girl Scouts’ vital mission to build ‘girls of courage, confidence and character,’ ” said Susan Linn, director of the Boston-based commercial-free childhood organization.

She said the Barbie patch – targeted at 5-to-8-year-old Daisies and Brownies – would transform these girls into “walking advertisements.”

“This is product placement at its worst,” said New American Dream’s executive director, Wendy Philleo, who described herself as a longtime admirer of the Girl Scouts.

“Our children are already being bombarded by marketers’ pitches at stores, at home, online, on TV, and in school,” said Philleo, whose Charlottesville, Va.-based group tries to counter the commercial-

Don T. Bricker Vice President and Publisher

Robert Wall General Manager

Kate Schott Editor

OUR VIEW

Warm embrace for property tax bill Most attempts from the state Legislature to put property tax controls on local taxing bodies die an untimely death, but that’s no reason to give up.

There have been attempts, on a large scale, to force caps on local tax levies in a down economy to put a stop to the maddening phenomenon of rising property taxes despite falling home values.

State Rep. David McSweeney, R-Barington Hills, is again attempting to address the matter on a smaller scale, putting a one-year freeze on township property tax levies. The bill has cleared committee, although it’s hard to guess on its chance of success.

We support McSweeney’s effort and any legislative effort to curtail property taxes, which hit residents in the collar counties harder than most. It’s a small step, but a step nonetheless, so we’re hopeful that if a bill such as McSweeney’s can make in through the Legislature, perhaps others could follow.

One might ask why we need Springfield to fix this mess. We don’t, necessarily. Local taxing bodies could chose to freeze their own property tax levies, although too many don’t and instead seek the maximum levy they’re allowed under the law.

Springfield is somewhat responsible for the problem in the first place.

Lawmakers passed the Property Tax Limitation Law during the housing boom to keep local taxing bodies in check without the anticipation that housing prices could fall instead of rise.

Illinois also has nearly 7,000 units of local government – by far, the most in the nation. If they all seek the maximum tax levy they’re allowed under current law, we’re in even bigger trouble than we’re in right now.

We hope the legislation for township property tax caps is approved mainly to show the legislature that tighter controls is something Illinois residents want and need. And that voters and taxpayers should have stronger voices in the legislature than the influence of leaders from the taxing bodies whose salaries are paid by the public.

Why Americans should be embarrassed of Bill Clinton Finally, a headline of my dreams: “Rand Paul: Democrats Should Be ‘Embarrassed’ to Be Seen With Bill Clinton.”

In fact, the headline is stronger than Sen. Paul’s actual statement – Democrats “ought to be a little embarrassed” – but I’ll gladly take it and extend my heartfelt thanks and congratulations to Paul for being the first political leader I can remember (perhaps only?) to acknowledge the obvious: Bill Clinton, gross-out, serial sexual predator accused of rape by Juanita Broaddrick (not to mention virtual creator of the Red Chinese military threat through releases of military technology in exchange for campaign contributions), is a national disgrace. Yes, Democrats should be “embarrassed” to be seen with him – and with his wife, too, but that’s another column.

The reality, of course, is that Democrats celebrate Clinton, showcasing him as a keynote speaker at the 2012 National Democratic Convention, for example. But I doubt it’s just Democrats who still scrap for his autograph, pay a hefty year’s salary (six

VIEWS Diana West figures) for one speech and generally treat Bill Clinton like a respected and laudatory personage. And that’s a problem.

I became a columnist and editorial writer at The Washington Times in the aftermath of Bill Clinton’s Dec. 19, 1998, impeachment (I put out the flag to mark the historic date), but the impeachment beat would remain busy through the next election cycle.

There was much fallout to wade through – Clinton’s contempt of court finding, his subsequent disbarments (in Arkansas and at the U.S. Supreme Court), controversy over then-presidential candidate Al Gore’s come-what-may support for Clinton, and numerous other scandals now mainly forgotten. For a flickering moment, Bill Clinton was really in disgrace – eclipse, certainly – and the scandals, both large and petty, didn’t stop, not even after Bill and Hillary

left the White House. Remember Pardongate? Giftgate?

The Clinton saga, though, isn’t about one man, or even one president. Bill Clinton’s gold-plated stature symbolizes something larger – a loss of moral balance throughout society. At the time, Clinton himself was unaware of this imbalance, something that becomes apparent when recalling everything he did to cover up a scandal for which the American public, it turned out, had no intention of penalizing him.

Indeed, there has been no enduring disgust about his lying, his predatory and abusive behaviors (let alone serial corruption and sellouts to the People’s Republic of China). The irony remains that Bill Clinton, our first adolescent president, actually believed his country was more grown up than he was. He was wrong. And that’s why Paul can make headlines for pointing out what, in a morally balanced society, would be unremarkable.

Seven years ago, I examined this

The early reviews are in on Bradley University’s new mascot – a gargoyle named Kaboom! – and, well, judge for yourselves.

ESPN commentator Keith Olbermann, as part of his regular “Worst Persons in the Sports World” feature, started with the adjective “horrific” and made his way to Kaboom! as BU’s attempt at “terrifying children.”

OK, so Olbermann is a bit-

ter, middle-aged man. Surely Sports Illustrated would be more measured.

Ultimately SI lamented that Kaboom! – what is it with that exclamation point, anyway? – hadn’t been blown up with the pyrotechnics display that accompanied his introduction, “leaving the city of Peoria hopelessly enslaved to this demon’s despotic rule for the foreseeable future.”

On the bright side, however,

“Kaboom has a ways to go in order to match the sheer horror that is the Providence Friar.”

Oh, lower your blood pressure, Bradley Nation.

Arguably the first rule of marketing is that if you can’t be good, then be really, really bad. When was the last time Bradley got this much national exposure? Mission accomplished.

phenomenon in my first book, “The Death of the Grown-Up: How America’s Arrested Development Is Bringing Down Western Civilization.” What I called “the death of the grown-up” was, in fact, my metaphor for the moral vacuum at the heart of society – again, larger than any one individual, even if Bill Clinton could serve as a poster boy for the perpetual adolescent. More important, though, was (and still is) the country’s inability and/or disinterest in passing judgment according to traditional precepts of right and wrong.

This remains symptomatic of a wider and very dangerous cultural devolution.

This is the hollow center of our “world without grown-ups.” It is a dangerous place, considering, as Byron York once pointed out, that “whenever a serious terrorist attack occurred, it seemed Bill Clinton was always busy with something else.” That “something else” invariably was a red-faced and protracted consequence of Clinton’s “embarrassing” behavior.

For example, when the Kho-

bar Towers were blown up in 1996 by Iranian terrorists possibly backed by al-Qaida, killing 19 servicemen and wounding almost 400 others, Bill Clinton’s White House was knee-deep in the corruption of “Whitewater” and “Filegate.” At the time of the 1998 twin embassy attacks by al-Qaida in Africa, the focus was Monica Lewinsky and the blue Gap dress she didn’t take to the cleaners.

The world continued to turn, even if the Bill Clinton White House hunkered down.

The U.S. was passing bloody milestones in the jihad against the West, but We, the People, had to navigate the Clinton years in blinders along an alternate route – a dark tunnel marked by tawdry domestic scandal.

The moral of the Clinton story? Self-indulgent and society-indulged individuals (read: childish in the worst way) make corrupt and dangerous leaders. That’s not what Paul was saying – but it’s a start.

JCA girls hoops ready for tradition-rich Notre Dame Angels face 3-time defending state champion in semifinals

By DICK GOSS dgoss@shawmedia.com

• Friday, March 7, 2014

JOLIET – To say the Joliet Catholic girls are fighting tradition would be an understatement.

The Angels (27-2) will face Quincy Notre Dame at 2 p.m.

Friday in the second Class 3A semifinal of the girls state basketball tournament at Illinois State’s Redbird Arena.

JCA is in the semifinals for the first time. Conversely, all Notre Dame has done over the last seven years is post a 21311 record and a .951 winning percentage. The Lady Raiders are three-time defending state champions, having won Class 2A in 2011 and 2012 and Class 3A last year.

They also finished second in 2010 in Class 2A and fourth in Class 3A in 2008. They did not place in 2009 when they finished 28-1. This year, they are 29-3.

The history is impressive.

However, whether that has a bearing on what takes place this weekend at Redbird Arena is to be determined.

The other Class 3A semifinal, which tips off at 12:15 p.m. Friday, matches Montini (32-2) and Burlington Central (27-4). Most observers favor Montini to reach the title game at 2 p.m. Saturday against either JCA or Notre Dame.

“They absolutely have tradition on their side with three titles in a row,” Angels coach Ed Schodrof said of Notre Dame. “But what I notice is they play so hard, especially defensively. They play tenacious defense and also run good stuff on the offensive end.”

Raiders 5-foot-11 forward Mary Beth Hugenberg averages 16.3 points, 6.2 rebounds

Joliet defeated Washington 56-43 to advanced to the state semifinals. ABOVE: Joliet Catholic’s Andriana Acosta pulls down a rebound during a game earlier this season. and shoots .615 from the field.

Guard Kristen Gengenbacher, who especially impresses Schodrof, is at 15.7 points, 3.9 rebounds and 3.5 assists, and she shoots at a .534 pace.

Schodrof said he is interested to see whether the Raiders play man-to-man full court against the Angels, or if they go with their 3-2 halfcourt defense. Applying pressure may not have the same effect against a team featuring Nicole Ekhomu and Jasmine Lumpkin than it has normally.

Various observers have complimented the Angels’ standout tandem similarly, saying, “They play like guys.”

Ekhomu, only a sophomore, is smooth with her jump shot and so quick taking the ball to the basket. The 6-foot Lumpkin can be unstoppable going to the basket, and when she separates from a defender and takes her midrange jumper, it is a work of art.

“Our offense and athleticism against their defense is a key,” Schodrof said. “We have to handle their defensive pressure.”

The Michigan State-bound Lumpkin, who played her first two high school seasons at Montini, is averaging 18.2 points and 9.1 rebounds. Ekhomu contributes 14.4 points, 4 rebounds and 2.9 assists and makes her free throws at a .764 clip.

As accomplished as Lumpkin and Ekhomu are, however, JCA has 27 victories because of its supporting cast, including freshman forwards Ty Battle and Jnaya Walker, senior guard Christine Ekhomu and top reserves Andriana Acosta, Mia Farrell and Kennedy Weigt.

Battle averages 7.6 points and 5.3 rebounds, Walker 6.6 points and 3.9 rebounds. They also combine for three assists per game.

Christine Ekhomu averages points and is capable of

more production when the situation demands. Acosta chips in 4.4 points and 4.7 rebounds. Farrell contributes 3.6 points and Weigt, who has hit 31-of-85 3-pointers, a .365 mark, is at 3.8 points.

“One positive that has happened this year is we have avoided any big injuries the entire season,” Schodrof said.

“That was important.

“The pressure that built up going into the supersectional is over now. We’re going to enjoy being downstate. We’re excited for the opportunity.”

Schodrof referenced the terrible feeling the Angels were left with last season when they lost to Bishop McNamara in the sectional semifinals.

“The coaches talked about how this team could get to state, and the kids probably did, too, but we never talked to each other about it,” he said. “What happened last year served us all well.”

The Angels experienced a festive sendoff from school Thursday, human tunnel and all. An assembly is planned at the end of the school day Monday regardless of the place finish.

Schodrof has received advice from coaches in JCA’s successful football, baseball and volleyball programs about preparing teams for the road to state, and state itself.

It’s all good. Imagine if the Angels can get those last two victories.

Reed-Custer looking to make school history

Comets could win 1st sectional since 1962-63

By ROB OESTERLE roesterle@shawmedia.com Last Friday night, the Reed-Custer boys basketball team won the program’s first regional title in 10 years, thumping Beecher, 92-63, to win the Class 2A Wilmington Regional crown.

Friday night, the Comets will try to reach much further back into history, attempting to beat Paris in the finals of the Westville Sectional to earn its first sectional championship since the 1962-63 campaign.

That’s when John F. Kenne-

dy was in office. That’s before many parents of the players on this year’s team were born.

That’s quite a dry spell.

No matter what happens Friday night, though, Wednesday night’s 77-72 win over St. Joe-Ogden may go down as one of the biggest in program history. St. Joe-Ogden was ranked No. 5 in the final AP regular-season poll in Class 2A, had finished fourth last season and were playing about a half-hour from home. ReedCuster, meanwhile, hopped on the bus and drove two and a half hours on a school night.

And this wasn’t a team loaded with experienced players. The Comets’ roster features just three seniors (Tyler Foote, Logan Zavala and Tyler Allen) but, perhaps more importantly, no fear.

“The best example of our kids having no fear came Tuesday night,” Reed-Custer coach Mark Porter said.

“There was about three minutes left and we were up one.

St. Joe worked the ball around and made a 15-footer to take the lead and you could feel our side kind of groan. We took the ball out of the net, pushed it up the sideline before their defense could get back and Austin Hauck, who doesn’t get a lot of shots, was open and hit a 3-pointer and we were back up two. Now, it was their side that was down.”

Reed-Custer (19-11) got off the bus shooting and playing their trademark tough, trapping defense, and were within one point, 37-36 at halftime.

The game was tight the whole way, with Reed-Custer’s big-

gest lead being seven points and St. Joe’s six. The Comets forced the Spartans into 26 turnovers. Zach Zoltani led Reed-Custer with 15 points, including four 3-pointers, while Travis Schoonover scored 12, Mason Dransfeldt and Brent Headrick scored 10, Logan Zavala scored nine, Allen and Foote had eight each and Hauck scored five.

The 1962-63 sectional championship team featured 6-foot8 All-State player Ken Barnett, who went to Northwestern on a basketball scholarship before transferring to Delaware and being drafted by the Bulls. There won’t be a standout like that from this year’s group, as Porter shuffles four or five players at a time like a hockey line change. But the players don’t mind a bit.

AREA ROUNDUP

AREA SPORTS SCHEDULE

Lewis women knocked out of tournament Defending GLVC girls basketball champs upset by Truman State STAFF REPORTS EVANSVILLE – Bianca Szafarowicz matched a career-high with 22 points and Truman moved on to the Deaconess GLVC Women’s Basketball tournament semifinals Thursday with an 84-70 victory over defending tournament champion Lewis.

The first 15 minutes was a back-and-forth affair that featured five ties and 11 lead changes. Szafarowicz converted a Flyers’ turnover into a basket and the Bulldogs never trailed again.

Amy Briggs scored five points in the final 1:26 and Allie Norton knocked down one of her four triples to send Truman into the locker room on an 8-0 run.

The Bulldogs scored the first four in the half to take their first double-digit lead at 45-32.

The Flyers (22-5) got as

“At the end of the game, St. Joe was tired,” Porter said. “We play in nip-andtuck games like this all year.

They had probably had a lot of games that they won by 20 and didn’t play a lot of starters into the fourth quarter.

“When it went into overtime, we felt we had the edge, and we attacked those last four minutes.

“For us to have three or four guys in double figures is pretty much the norm for us. It might not be the same three or four guys each night, either.

But the kids don’t mind at all, as long as someone scores. The key for us is not just the defensive pressure, but pushing the ball up on offense before their defense can get set.”

All that’s left to see is if the Comets can conquer Paris.

close as six on three separate occasions only to watch Truman answer with key buckets from one of the four Bulldogs that finished in double figure scoring.

Norton’s 3-pointer with 3:27 left was the nail in the coffin as it gave the Bulldogs a 12-point lead at 74-62.

The league’s player of the year, Mariyah Henley, scored 23 points with 16 rebounds to lead Lewis, while Jamie Johnson added 22 points and Jess Reinhart scored 12. The Flyers won the boards 40-33, but lost the turnover battle, 15-6. Lewis also was outscored 21-9 at the free throw line, as the Flyers shot just 50 percent (9-of-18).

MEN’S BASKETBALL Miller, Peters cited: St. Francis junior guard Chris Miller and senior forward Mark Peters have been selected to the All-Chicagoland Col-

legiate Athletic Conference Men’s Basketball Team.

An NAIA honorable mention All-American a year ago and the CCAC Freshman of the Year in 2012, Miller garnered his second straight appearance on the AllCCAC first team. He was the league’s ninth-leading scorer with a 15.9 average.

Miller, who reached the 1,000-career point plateau midway through the season, was the CCAC’s most accurate shooter from 3-point range, connecting at a .457 clip. He also stood second in the conference in free throw percentage (.851) and fourth in steals (1.8).

Peters received All-CCAC honorable mention recognition for the second straight year. He averaged 10 points and 6.6 rebounds while ranking fourth in the league with a .612 field goal percentage.

WOMEN’S TRACK Lewis nets five selections: The U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association announced that Lewis’ Kayla King, Megan Marchildon, Samantha McGaha, Phoenix Smallwood and Chantel Stennis (Bolingbrook) have all been named to the 2013-14 Division II Indoor Women’s Track and Field All-Midwest Region Team.

The top five individuals in each event from each region earned the All-Region distinction, in addition to each of the members of the regions’ top three relay teams.

The Flyers had three selections in the long jump – McGaha, Smallwood and King.

Marchildon earned top-five marks in the region for both the pentathlon and 60-meter hurdles. Stennis, who narrowly missed winning the 200-meter dash at the GLVC Indoor Championships, is third in the Midwest with a time of 25.25.

Area teams ready for Friday’s regional finals

Dick Goss Junior Keegan Tyrell is a top reserve. There is quality in the current freshman class and a talented group of eighth-graders is on the way.

It’s a piece-by-piece process, and there are signs it is working.

Meanwhile, this season began with Bolingbrook the No. 1 team in the Joliet area, followed by Joliet Central.

The next three spots, in whichever order, belonged to Plainfield East, Plainfield North and Providence. Nothing that happened during the season or so far on largeschool regional week has changed that.

In Friday’s Class 4A regional finals, Bolingbrook will face Geneva at Plainfield East; Joliet Central takes on Bloom at Bloom; Providence battles Marian and the incomparable Tyler Ulis at Plainfield Central; and Plainfield North, fresh off its huge comeback victory over Neuqua Valley, meets Aurora West at Aurora West.

Plainfield East and Geneva were an excellent regional semifinal matchup Wednesday at East. The Vikings scored the last five points over the final 36 seconds to secure a 64-58 victory.

Had the Bengals ever been able to take the lead, which they were in position to do so often, you wonder if the outcome would have been different.

JCA has company in the Class 3A ranks as Morris faces Pontiac for the title at Prairie Central. Should the Hilltoppers and Redskins win, they would square off in the semifinals of next week’s Rich East Sectional.

Speaking of which, Reed-Custer has become quite a story. The Comets knocked off state-ranked St. Joseph-Ogden, 77-72 in overtime, in the semifinals of the Class 2A Westville Sectional and will meet Paris for the title.

• Friday, March 7, 2014

Joliet Catholic boys basketball coach Joe Gura called Tuesday night’s 7051 victory over No.1 seed Lincoln-Way West in the semifinals of the Class 3A Plano Regional “a recognition grabber.”

That’s what his program needed, and more recognition can be had with a victory in Friday night’s regional final against Plano.

“This is year three and the kids had to see tangible evidence this year that we were doing the right things,” said Gura, whose JCA teams won three and four games, respectively, in his first two seasons at the school.

The difficulty in accumulating victories comes in part from the strength of the East Suburban Catholic Conference.

“There are seven or eight teams in our league that could win regionals,” Gura noted.

And the Hilltoppers are among them. Who would have thought that?

“This program has to be built piece by piece, and this is a huge chunk,” Gura said.

“Now the kids don’t feel this is enough. They want to win the regional. It’s nice to say we’re playing for a regional title, now we want to win one.”

Joliet Catholic has not finished a season above .500 since the early 1980s, and regional titles are rare over the last three decades. Gura has said that for however long it lasts, this will be his final coaching job.

He wants to leave with a winning program in tow, and things are headed in that direction. The Hilltoppers start junior Colton Kolowski and four sophomores – guards Jalen Jackson and Harold Davis, forward Drake Fellows and center Luke Mander. Jackson scored 24 points, Davis 18 and Fellows grabbed 13 rebounds against Lincoln-Way West.

BLACKHAWKS 6, BLUE JACKETS 1

WHAT TO WATCH

Blackhawks shuffle lines, beat Blue Jackets

Pro basketball Memphis at Bulls, 6 p.m., ESPN

By JAY COHEN The Associated Press CHICAGO – Andrew Shaw and Jonathan Toews had two goals apiece, and the Blackhawks beat the Columbus Blue Jackets 6-1 on Thursday night.

Brandon Bollig and Bryan Bickell also scored as the Blackhawks bounced back from a 4-2 home loss to Colorado on Tuesday night. Corey Crawford made 22 saves for his 10th consecutive victory against Columbus.

Ryan Johansen scored his 25th goal for the Blue Jackets, who had won three in a row. Sergei Bobrovsky made 14 stops before he was pulled during the Blackhawks’ threegoal second period.

The Stanley Cup champions had managed just eight goals while dropping three of four, and five of those came against

Pittsburgh at Soldier Field on Saturday. That prompted coach Joel Quenneville to shuffle his lines, putting Shaw with Toews and Saad in the top group and moving Patrick Sharp to the second line with Michal Handzus and Patrick Kane.

It worked.

After Johansen took advantage of a bad line change to tie it at 1 at 7:56 of the first, it was all Blackhawks. They outshot the Blue Jackets 33-23 for the game and lead the NHL with 221 goals.

Shaw sparked the runaway win when he made the most of a terrific pass by Sheldon Brookbank, beating Bobrovsky into the upper right corner with 3:16 left in the first. Brookbank’s long pass banked off the boards and sprung Shaw for a breakaway on the right side of the ice.

WHITE SOX

Danks feeling his 2012 self

By DARLY VAN SCHOUWEN dvanschouwen@suntimes.com GLENDALE, Ariz. – Three scoreless innings for John Danks looks nice in the box score, but the White Sox left-hander especially was pleased with how most everything looked in his Cactus League debut Thursday.

Danks allowed one hit, two walks and struck out two Seattle Mariners. He used all four of his pitches, touched 90-91 mph with his two-seam fastball and threw it “without humping it up there.”

In other words, free and easy.

“I don’t know what the [velocity] numbers were, but I was able to change speeds with four pitches,” Danks said. “The curveball is always a tough pitch out here [in dry Arizona air]. I had trouble getting it over the plate. I was real pleased with the cutter; the fastball had some life on it and the changeup was where it’s always been.”

Danks had shoulder surgery in August 2012. His 2013 season essentially is viewed as a recovery year, and he is feeling more like his old self this spring, which is encouraging for a rotation that needs an effective 200-inning pitcher to go with Chris Sale and Jose Quintana. “[Pitching coach Don Cooper] and I have talked about that,” Danks said. “I welcome the challenge, if you will, of being a seven-plus inning guy night in, night out, 200plus innings and giving us a chance to win. You’re only as good as you’re pitching [as a team], and I’m kind of the swingman I guess. I welcome that. I’m expecting a good year. I’m going to work hard at it, and I feel like I’m where I need to be at this point.”

Danks said the biggest difference for him this spring is command of his cutter.

“We actually worked on throwing it to both sides of the plate, and that was effective,” he said.

An evening of Styx’s greatest hits Founding member performs March 15 at the Rialto

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

he middle of March holds good things for Dennis DeYoung, Chicago area native and resident, and founding member of the rock band, Styx.

On March 15, DeYoung, along with his six-piece band in a tour that’s now in its fourth year, will perform Styx’s greatest hits from the ’70s, ’80s and ’90s at the Rialto Square Theatre in Joliet, where DeYoung has not appeared since the 1980s, he said.

The next day, DeYoung and his band will fly to Los Angeles for an AXS TV Broadcast and live DVD/CD release of the show. DeYoung is thrilled because this DVD is only the second he has recorded, he said. The first was in 2002, the pilot of PBS’ “Soundstage” series, according to DeYoung’s website at www.dennisdeyoung.com.

The website also said that “WTTW PBS Chicago taped DeYoung performing with his rock band and 50 piece symphony orchestra with The Chicago’s Children’s Choir.”

That opportunity, DeYoung said “put him on the map as a solo artist.”

“I’m excited about the opportunity to do the rock show because it clearly helps to define who I was, whereas the symphony show was defining who I was 30 years later,” DeYoung said. “It’s also a nice way to celebrate all those songs again in one performance and in one package.”

Despite the notion that “60 is the new 40,” DeYoung finds the concept of senior citizen rock performers an interesting one, something completely unimaginable at the beginning of Styx’s career,

Dennis DeYoung, founding member of Styx, will perform March 15 at the Rialto Square Theatre in Joliet. he said, since a prototype for older rock and rollers did not exist.

For DeYoung, whose music career now spans more than 40 years, it means forsaking the hair dye and the tight satin pants, adopting a “what you see is what you get” philosophy and contentedly “blending in” with the rest of the world.

“I make no attempt to stick out,” DeYoung said. “Believe me, when I was a much younger man, I made every attempt. It was all about, ‘Hey, look at me!’ ” Styx fans will see nothing ostentatious or hear anything but beloved Styx music on March 15. Perhaps DeYoung will sneak in a solo song or two but he won’t emphasize it. DeYoung understands the music fans’ point of view, he said.

DeYoung gave this example: if he attended a Paul McCartney concert, he would fully expect to hear Beatles’ music.

“I’m no different from anyone else,” DeYoung said.

“When you have these songs to play, people want to hear them. It’s not a mystery even for me. … I think it has something to do with the way people identified me with the band.”

Perhaps that’s because DeYoung, also a keyboardist, composer and record producer, was the lead singer and writer on these Top 10 hit songs: “Lady,” “Come Sail Away,” “Babe,” “Mr. Roboto,” “Best of Times” and “Don’t Let It End,” according to his website.

So how does DeYoung, also a successful solo artist, feel about an audience that, overall, is coming to see him because he represents Styx?

He’s not surprised by it and he’s absolutely fine with it.

“I like a happy audience,” DeYoung said.

Certainly, Styx is experiencing its share of younger fans, DeYoung said. These

Box Office: 815- 726-6600 aren’t simply teens undergoing classic rock “brainwashing” from their parents, for the comments on YouTube, DeYoung added, prove otherwise.

“They say things like, ‘I wish I would have lived during that time,’ ” DeYoung said.

DeYoung sometimes wonders if some of the fan draw is partly because of nostalgia, of people longing to bask in a

“certain period of time” that, “through the fog of memory” seemed “innocent and happy.”

“And I think the music of their youth is vital to that,” DeYoung said.

It’s the music of DeYoung’s youth, too. Perhaps that’s why, he, too, has such fondness for it. According to his DeYoung’s website, DeYoung was just 14 when he, along with brothers John and Chuck Panozzo, formed Styx in the basement of DeYoung’s home.

Styx eventually sold more than 35 million albums worldwide, four of them consecutive triple platinum albums.

“To be at this age and still have people wanting to see me is remarkable to me,” DeYoung said. “It’s a lot of hard work, being in show business. Strangers judge me and an awful lot of things go along with that. But on balance, I’ve lived a pretty charmed life.”

Eighth-grader Olivia Pertchi at Hickory Creek Middle School in Frankfort draws her portrait using a photograph and the grid technique.

A&E BRIEF Hickory Creek students create self-portraits Students at Hickory Creek Middle School in Frankfort recently learned how to draw self-portraits by using a grid and black and white photos of themselves. The technique dates back to the Renaissance period.

Some speculate Michelangelo used a grid to paint portions of the Sistine Chapel.

Hickory Creek will display the projects 10 a.m. March 15 at Lincoln-Way Artworks, Lincoln-Way East High School, 201 Colorado Ave., Frankfort and also at the District 157-C Family School Partnership organization’s Creative Arts Showcase, 5 to 7:30 p.m., Grand Prairie Elementary School, 10480 W.

ON SCREEN NOW

“300: Rise of an Empire” STARRING: Sullivan Stapleton, Eva Green, Lena Headey

PLOT: Greek general Themistokles

“Mr. Peabody & Sherman” STARRING: Ty Burrell, Max Charles, Stephen Colbert

PLOT: The time-traveling adventures of an advanced canine and his adopted son, as they endeavor to ix a time rift they created.

RATED: PG for some mild action and brief rude humor TIME: 1 hour, 32 minutes VERDICT: It’s possible, I suppose, that some children may ind things to like about “Mr. Peabody & Sherman.” The animated feature about a time-traveling dog with a genius IQ and his human companion has even more than the recommended daily allowance of scatological humor and B.O. jokes for the average 8-year-old. Anyone much older than that – and certainly anyone who remembers the cartoons on which the ilm is based, which ran as segments accompanying Jay Ward’s Rocky and Bullwinkle cartoons – is in for a big disappointment. Despite an updated CGI animation style, the movie has all the supericial attributes of the 1959-64 series but none of the charm. Both revolve around a boy named Sherman; his canine master, Peabody; a time machine; and bad puns. Yet by visual standards alone, the characters, rendered in eye-popping 3-D, resemble nothing so much as Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade loats. This is especially odd, considering that writer Craig Wright and director Rob Minkoff go to great lengths to lesh out the characters’ back stories and devote inordinate

attention and energy to what is presented in the ilm as the father-son relationship between talking beagle Peabody (voice of Ty Burrell) and Sherman (Max Charles), the human child he lives with. While it’s true that in the original series, Peabody legally “adopted” Sherman, anyone who has seen the old show can tell you that the relationship between the two was closer to pet ownership than paternal custody. Portraying Sherman as Peabody’s legal dependent, instead of as his slightly dimwitted best friend, not only violates the spirit of the original series but also is just plain weird.

“Peabody’s Improbable History,” as the television segments were called, was an irreverent, even subversively educational romp through famous moments in history. The new ilm is a sappy comedy about the dificulties of contemporary parenting. Sherman sets the story in motion by letting his classmate Penny (voiced by Burrell’s “Modern Family” castmate Ariel Winter) use the time machine, known as the WABAC, despite Peabody’s express instructions not to. In short order, Penny gets stuck in Egypt, where she is betrothed to the boy king Tutankhamun (Zach Callison), forcing Peabody and Sherman to rescue her.

The question, then, is: Who is this movie for? Certainly not baby boomers who grew up with the series, and who probably only came to fully grasp its wordplay and wit when they were adults. But what strange child cares about jokes referencing the 1999 ilm “Runaway Bride” or Bill Clinton’s dalliance with Monica Lewinsky?

That’s right, Mom and Dad, the 42nd president pops up here to remind your child about that 1990s sex scandal.

Good luck explaining it on the way home. Then again, you might not have to. If there are as few laughs as there were at the screening I sat through, that nasty little innuendo may ly right over Junior’s head. In that sense at least, “Mr. Peabody and Sherman” does resemble the original cartoon. –

The Washington Post

“Non-Stop” STARRING: Liam Neeson, Julianne Moore, Lupita Nyong’o

PLOT: An air marshal springs into action during a transatlantic light after receiving a series of text messages that put his fellow passengers at risk unless the airline transfers $150 million into an off-shore account.

RATED: PG-13, for intense sequences of action and violence, some language,

sensuality and drug references

TIME: 1 hour, 36 minutes VERDICT: Settling in for a ilm that takes place almost entirely on an airplane, as does the latest Liam Neeson action lick “Non-Stop,” one’s instinct is to search for the nearest sleeping pill. After federal air marshal Bill Marks (Neeson) morosely guzzles some whiskey in his car outside JFK Airport, he boards the plane headed for Heathrow that he’s to protect, that will be the setting from here on out. Things pick up when down the aisle strolls stewardesses Michelle Dockery and Lupita Nyong’o. The plane populates with our cast: Julianne Moore (Marks’ chatty seatmate), a school teacher (Scoot McNairy), a tough New Yorker (Corey Stroll) and a Muslim doctor (Omar Metwally). Neeson begins getting mysterious text messages from a hijacker on board – a snake on the plane, if you will – who says someone will die every 20 minutes until $150 million is sent to an off-shore account.

In the film’s best image, Marks has all the passengers hold their hands up. But it takes an awful lot of implausibility to keep the story airborne. The manner of the deaths turns suspicion to Marks, himself, and even his boss (via phone) believes he’s the terrorist. Moore breathes life into the claustrophobia, as does Dockery – both helpful aids to Marks. Nyong’o, the young Oscar-nominated actress of “12 Years a Slave,” has barely a line, but sports a cool flat top.

But the question is – as was with the similarly European-backed, one-word titled thrillers “Taken,” “Taken 2” and “Unknown” – what to make of this unlikely action hero turn for Neeson at 61? The movies, “Non-Stop” included, are simple, mostly serviceable genre flicks that are smart enough to dispense with exposition but not witty enough to put three acts together. Neeson’s presence – wounded, intelligent, honorable – is much sturdier than these films, which he elevates with ease. On “60 Minutes” recently, Neeson was himself bemused and rather sheepish about this career turn to movies he acknowledged were “straight-to-video” stuff. But his suggestion that he came to “Taken” and the rest because it allowed him to busy himself after the death of his wife, Natasha Richardson, gives these movies a melancholy poetry: The weary Neeson, kicking butt to keep the demons at bay.

“Son of God” STARRING: Diogo Morgado, Amber Rose Revah and Sebastian Knapp

PLOT: The life story of Jesus is told from his humble birth through his teachings, cruciixion and ultimate resurrection.

RATED: PG-13 for intense and bloody depiction of cruciixion, and for some sequences of violence.

TIME: 2 hours, 18 minutes VERDICT: Is it possible to love Jesus and not like “Son of God”?

That’s the slightly discomfiting question some viewers might face upon seeing the feature film, presented by producers Roma Downey and Mark Burnett as a condensed form of their 2013 History Channel miniseries, “The Bible.” Such bold repurposing (and monetizing) of their property may strike some observers as the ultimate in, you should pardon the expression, chutzpah. But “Son of God” is nothing if not sincere, its earnest retelling of Jesus’ life story resembling a gentle, pop-up book version of the New Testament. After a brief scene at the manger, the film focuses on his teachings as an adult, a series of tableaux that play like the Messiah’s greatest hits. Those loaves and fishes?

They’re here. Casting the first stone?

Yep. Lazarus? You bet. Enough snark.

It’s easy to take pot shots at “Son of God,” which hasn’t been directed as much as cobbled together by “Bible” veteran Christopher Spencer. The visual effects are often cheesy, the dialogue leaden, the melodramatic emotionalism continually snuffing out the possibility of authentic emotion.

To its credit, the film places Jesus firmly within his historical context of oppression at the hands of Roman authorities. As for Jesus himself, the Portuguese actor Diogo Morgado is all beachy waves and beatific smiles, his teeth an impeccable white even when covered in blood. And there’s a lot of blood in “Son of God,” as well as swordplay. There’s a lot of crying too, especially from Downey herself, who plays Jesus’ mother, Mary.

“Son of God” continually falls prey to starchy, even sophomoric literalism, with Jesus’ teachings sounding like carefully rehearsed speeches and his miracles coming off like magic stunts.

But Downey and Burnett clearly mean for their film to make an impact as a spiritual experience. Their tireless evangelism has worked on church groups. Don’t expect to see a great film, or even a very good one. Whether you discover a meaningful channel with which to continue your walk with the film’s protagonist, however, is strictly between you and their God. –

leads the charge against invading Persian forces led by mortal-turnedgod Zerxes and Artemisia, vengeful commander of the Persian Navy.

RATED: R for strong sustained sequences of stylized bloody violence throughout, a sex scene, nudity and some language TIME: 1 hour, 42 minutes VERDICT: Naysayers always ask the same question: Why would they make a sequel to something like “300?”

The answer is always the same: Because “300” took in a cache of cash – something like half a billion dollars worldwide. It’s even, according to the folks at IMAX, the film that turned a certain corner for that company, that brought fanboys aboard as IMAX viewers. Sure, it was in many respects a video game version of a big-screen movie, with violence and accompanying blood galore. But it was also very stylized, was endlessly fascinating to watch, and it featured contemporary themes of diplomacy versus war. So here we are, just about seven years, to the day, since the release of “300,” with, nope, not a sequel, but another side of the same story, one that unfolds in a parallel manner. “300” told of 300 members of the Greek Spartan army, under the command of King Leonidas (Gerard Butler), going up against the seemingly insurmountable hordes of the Persian army in the land-based Battle of Thermopylae. Although “300: Rise of an Empire” opens with the results of that glorious fight, it eventually turns into a chronicle of the Greek Athenian army, under the command of General Themistocles (Australian actor Sullivan Stapleton), also going up against the Persians, but doing so out on the ocean, at the same time. The film offers up brief introductions of the main players at the beginning, including Leonidas’ grieving but incredibly tough widow Queen Gorgo (“Games of Thrones’ ” Lena Headey), Persian leader-turned-golden god Xerxes (Rodrigo Santoro) and native Greek-turned-angry, vengeful Persian Artemisia (former Bond girl Eva Green). There are all kinds of political and good-versus-evil machinations set in place, and then that stylized bloodbath begins. There’s also the emotional, rather than physical, black and white to deal with. It’s very easy to figure out who’s good and who’s bad.

Broadly speaking, the Greeks are good, and the Persians are bad. Getting down

to specifics, General Themistocles is the hero, and the Goth-like Artemisia is the villain. You don’t have to think twice about her: Early on she decapitates one of her foes, then grabs his head and kisses it. No doubt, she’s the bad gal!

We eventually get her back story, telling us why and how she became what she is, and that story makes plenty of sense. But it’s more fun to watch her parade around in cool outfits that are complemented by an ever-present scowl. Of course, that’s mostly for the guys in the audience. But the women watching will be treated to lots of beefy guys walking around shirtless. There’s also a treat for men AND women to enjoy: a cartoonishly furious sex scene.

The film’s makers have gone out of their way to get across points about both the glory and the futility of war. But they go about it by making sure they’ve put together the most violent movie of the year so far. Oddly, it’s also a whole lot of fun. – More Content Now

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

• Friday, March 7, 2014

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Denis Waitley, a motivational speaker and author, said, “The reason most people never reach their goals is that they don’t define them ... or even seriously consider them as believable or achievable.

Winners can tell you where they are going, what they plan to do along the way, and who will be sharing the adventure with them.”

A bridge player knows his goal, but unless he counts winners and losers, he will often not reach it, and partner would then be sharing the failure with him.

In this deal, South reaches seven spades. After West leads the diamond queen, what should declarer do?

Although South had only 16 high-card points, he had so many playing tricks that he was right to jump-rebid two spades, which guaranteed at least five clubs (his first-bid suit) and was game-forcing.

North then used two doses of Roman Key Card Blackwood, learning first that his partner had three key cards (two aces and the spade king, or three aces), and second that he had the spade queen and club king.

South starts with only nine top tricks: four spades, two hearts, one diamond and two clubs. He needs to establish his club suit, which will generate extra club winners and more trump tricks with ruffs in the dummy. And usually in this situation, it is right to play on the side-suit first.

Declarer wins with dummy’s diamond ace, plays a club to his ace, ruffs a club low on the board, returns to his hand with a trump, ruffs another club with the spade jack, draws

Woman seeks way to shed shell of former self Dear Abby: As a child, I was sexually, physically and mentally abused. As an adult, I suffered several miscarriages and two of my children died as infants.

I have two living children, ages 9 and 16. It should be no surprise that I turned to food for comfort; I ate myself to a whopping 420 pounds.

After my marriage ended in a bitter divorce, I decided it was time for a complete makeover. I have lost more than 200 pounds. Because of my weight loss, I have gained better health, more energy, a better outlook on life – and almost 36 pounds of baggy skin. With this much excess skin, I’m sure you can imagine that I bring a whole new meaning to the word “skinny.”

Insurance will not help with skin removal. Burn centers use skin from cadavers, so I can’t

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips donate it to a good cause. I view myself as an overcomer of many things.

I just need assistance in overcoming this oversized birthday suit. Can you please advise? – Left Hanging In Colorado Dear Left Hanging: I addressed your question to prominent Los Angeles plastic surgeon Joel Aronowitz, who suggests you start calling around to universities that offer plastic surgery residencies.

It’s possible a resident could perform your surgery under the supervision of an experienced attending physician and you would pay a lower rate for the procedure than you would

be charged by a private physician.

He also told me that insurance should pay for the excision of skin in areas where it overlaps with other skin because it could be medically necessary if it causes rashes or infections that are giving you problems. If this is documented by an experienced plastic surgeon, those areas of your body might be covered by your insurance.

Many people finance their plastic surgeries through companies that specialize in this.

The doctor’s patient coordinator can direct you to one that works with the practice.

However, I would advise you to wait until you have lost ALL of the weight you intend to before getting anything done.

Treating Addison’s disease requires lifelong hormone pills Dear Doctor K: I watched a documentary about President Kennedy around the 50th anniversary of his death last year.

The program mentioned that he had something called Addison’s disease. What is that?

Dear Reader: Addison’s disease is a rare condition in which the adrenal glands do not function properly. The thumb-sized adrenal glands sit on top of the kidneys. When working properly, they produce several hormones.

But with Addison’s disease, the adrenal glands do not make enough hormones.

Hormones are substances made by one of several glands in the body. They travel in the blood to all parts of the body and can affect many types of cells and organs. The adrenal gland makes three main types of hormones: • Glucocorticoids. These are steroid hormones. One type is cortisol, which helps regulate blood sugar and the body’s response to infection or stress.

• Mineralocorticoids. These help regulate sodium, potassium, blood pressure and blood volume.

• Androgens. These hormones are needed for normal sexual development and ongoing sexual function. Testosterone is the most well-known androgen. Even the adrenal glands of females make some amount of androgens.

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff Addison’s disease usually results from autoimmunity: an attack on a part of the body by the body’s immune system. This shouldn’t happen. Our immune systems were built to attack invaders, such as invading viruses and bacteria. They were not built to attack us. But in autoimmune diseases such as Addison’s disease, something goes wrong.

Addison’s disease also can result from other conditions that damage the adrenal glands.

This includes infections of the glands, bleeding into the glands or cancer that has spread to the glands.

However it is caused, Addison’s disease leads to extreme weakness, weight loss, low blood pressure, gastrointestinal problems and darkening of the skin.

People said President Kennedy looked thin, pale and ill when he was young. Fortunately, he was diagnosed before his condition became life-threatening.

Diagnosing Addison’s disease can be challenging. It usually involves measuring the blood level of adrenal hormones (such as cortisol) and of brain hormones that stimulate the adrenal glands to produce adrenal hormones.

CT scanning to check the size of the adrenal glands may also be used for diagnosis.

Treatment involves taking hormone pills for life. These pills replace the hormones that the adrenal glands are not making.

For example, doctors may prescribe hydrocortisone or prednisone pills for glucocorticoid replacement. Androgens (such as DHEA or testosterone) may need to be taken as well.

It is important to avoid overreplacing these hormones.

Doing so may cause side effects.

The dose prescribed should be just enough to replace what the adrenal glands should have been making naturally – and no more.

People with Addison’s disease should wear a medical alert bracelet to notify medical professionals of their condition, and carry high doses of their medicine with them. That’s because people who become very sick (such as from an infection or a major injury) suddenly need more adrenal hormones than normal – and more than their usual daily dose. High doses of corticosteroids, in such situations, can save the life of a person with the disease.

Repressed anger can lead to miscommunication Dr. Wallace: When I get super angry, I just go to my room and clam up.

My grandmother, who lives with us, thinks I’m making a big mistake and should unload a little steam once in a while.

She says that exploding is good for you. Is that true? – Margo, Tupelo, Miss.

Dear Margo: Your grandmother makes a good point. According to psychiatrist Theodore Rubin, author of “The Angry Book:” “Teens who are holding their anger inside tend to act sullen and that leads to a breakdown in communication. Without communication we have confusion and mistrust.”

And child psychologist Zelda Segal adds, “Although anger is one of the basic human emotions, many teens find it so unpleasant that they feel they must keep the anger hidden inside them.” Dr. Segal, who has worked with teens in school, says anger should not be hidden.

Learning to deal effectively with anger, she says, can improve your physical and mental welfare. Repressed anger eventually comes out one way or the other – often misdirected toward innocent bystanders.

For instance, one teen she interviewed said she found herself constantly picking fights with her mother. Eventually, she noticed that she had been using her mom as a convenient target for the anger she was feeling toward her best friend, who had been making a play for a guy they both liked. When she finally blew off steam to her girlfriend, her rapport with her mother returned to normal.

Dr. Wallace: Two weeks ago I broke up with my boyfriend because he didn’t know the meaning of “stop.”

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace He continued to be sexually aggressive against my wishes. Now he is dating a very popular girl whom I despise.

After thinking it over, I think I can get my ex back and train him to behave himself. It makes me ill to think that “Miss Popularity” is dating the guy I dumped. Do you understand where I’m coming from? – Nameless, San Diego, Calif.

Dear Nameless: You really don’t want your ex back. The problems you had with him are now Miss Popularity’s problems. Let him go, and move on with your life. If the green monster – jealousy – plays havoc with your emotions, just remember that this girl is dating the guy you dumped.

Dr. Wallace: I am a normal teen when it comes to being healthy.

I try to eat healthy foods, but sometimes I still wind up with a cold. My mom blames it on my lack of drinking orange juice. She says orange juice is loaded with vitamin C, which prevents colds. Is this fact or fiction? – Nameless, Brookhaven, Miss.

Dear Nameless: There is no conclusive proof that vitamin C can ward off colds, but it’s necessary for one’s general health, and research suggests that high doses of C can reduce the symptoms and duration of a cold. Avoiding others who have a cold and frequent hand washing (four or five times daily) are the best ways to avoid the pesky ailment.

HOROSCOPE

By BERNICE BEDE OSOL Newspaper Enterprise Association

By MARISSA PAYNE AND RACHEL SADON The Washington Post March 8 is International Women’s Day, a holiday honoring women that’s celebrated around the world.

The United States, where ladies don’t get a day unless they’re moms, has never been firmly on the bandwagon.

International Women’s Day kicked off in Europe on March 19, 1911, to drum up support for the suffrage movement, and moved to March 8 in 1913. A 1909 attempt to launch a similar holiday in the United States flopped, probably because the Socialist Party of America was behind it.

In 1917, Russian women chose March 8 to protest the deaths of more than 2 million Russian soldiers in World War I. Days later, the czar stepped down and the provisional government granted Russian women the right to vote.

Adopted by the United Nations in 1975, International Women’s Day is still a popular day for women’s rights protests and marches.

It’s also got a softer side: Gals get gifts, pampering and a day off work in many countries.

Maybe this list will convince the federal government – or Hallmark – that March 8 should be America’s next big thing.

• Friday, March 7, 2014

TODAY – Presentation and approach will be important this year. Not everyone you deal with will share your passions or methods. Having confidence in your abilities is commendable.

Heavy-handed or forceful tactics will not win people over. If you’re diplomatic, you will gain the support you require.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) – Deal with problems at home before they intensify. You could be in for a nasty surprise if you ignore the warning signs. Facing up to your responsibilities will help keep the peace.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Don’t allow selfdoubt to deter you from achieving progress.

Diversifying your interests will increase the flow of opportunities coming your way. Being prepared will open doors to new possibilities.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Be receptive to suggestions regarding your employment prospects. Enthusiasm and resourcefulness will heighten your appeal. A change in your career could boost your income and your confidence.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – There are many interesting events happening around you. Get involved in as many as possible in order to broaden your horizons and make new friends.

An unexpected benefit is likely.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – You will be offered interesting investment advice. Carry out the due diligence, but don’t miss out on a great opportunity through unwonted hesitation.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – You will have no problem convincing others to participate in a new venture. Your enthusiasm and energy will draw plenty of partners with wonderful, original ideas in tow.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Someone with a grievance may be saying things behind your back. Refuse to get drawn into a trivial disagreement. Let your actions speak for themselves, and the matter will fix itself.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) – Now is a favorable time to step into the spotlight. Demonstrate your expertise in a factual, knowledgeable and inspiring manner, and some appealing offers will come your way.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) – You can reduce your expenses if you take a look at your budget. Factor in the amount you spend on transit, coffee or lunches. Point-of-sale purchases can leave you broke.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) – Don’t make assumptions. Being demanding or pushy will aggravate the people around you. If you’re thoughtful and sensitive, you will manage to get your way in the end.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – You can make valuable connections if you accentuate your positive qualities to the right people. Take good care of your health to avoid exhaustion or a minor illness.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) – Rekindle your connections with loved ones. Make plans that are sure to win favor. Be willing to compromise and work toward a common goal. Show patience, tolerance and good will.

Celebrate International Women’s Day on March 8

Flowers Russian women insist on red roses, and Italians and Albanians prefer yellow mimosas. In the nation’s capital, florists see at least a little action.

“Most of the clients that come in and buy flowers for that are usually the Europeans,” says Vicky Manalansan, who has worked at Nosegay Flower Shop in Washington for more than 25 years. “It’s not a big thing.”

What sells best? “Mostly just anything small,” she says.

Time off In Russia, International Women’s Day is a public holiday. This year, Russians – including those working at the Russian Embassy in D.C. – will get Monday, March 10, off.

In China, many women (but not men) get a free half-day.

Since International Women’s Day falls on a Saturday this year, most

Gifts Romanian children use March 8 to honor their moms with trinkets and homemade crafts.

In China, women’s bosses provide the gifts; movie tickets are common.

Dinner In Romania, single ladies gather for homemade meals. In Russia, progressive husbands do the cooking. In Washington, at least one restaurant

is making March 8 special.

Mari Vanna, a Russian eatery, plans to hand out free champagne and roses, as it did last year.

Charity India, Uganda, Bangladesh, Fiji, Cambodia and Rwanda are just a few of the nations that use International Women’s Day to promote women’s rights.

Uganda, for instance, has the “Run for Safe Motherhood” marathon, the proceeds of which are donated to hospital maternity wards.

BEST BETS ± 7 p.m. on TNT Cold Justice: In August 1997, Victoria Witherspoon Carr, a 28-year-old mother of two, went missing from her home in Chattanooga, Tenn. Her body wasn’t found until almost two years later, and it took another 14 years for police to make an arrest in the case — after some help from Siegler and McClary. ± 8 p.m. NBC 5 Grimm: There’s a new predator in town, and it’s targeting an expectant couple. The would-be victims are friends with Wu (Reggie Lee),

who is getting in the way of Nick and Hank’s (David Giuntoli, Russell Hornsby) investigation. Adalind (Claire Coffee) prepares to deliver her baby with enemies in pursuit. Silas Weir Mitchell also stars in the new episode “Mommy Dearest.”

± 8:01 p.m. on TNT Inside Job: At stake in this new episode is the position of director of brand marketing at the online accessory company ShoeDazzle. As always, one of the four candidates already works for the company and is spying on the others. Things heat up when one candidate throws another under the bus in “ShoeDazzle.”
