Joliet council hears consultant concerning Evergreen Terrace

By BILL WIMBISCUS bwimbiscus@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Any plan for Joliet to redevelop Evergreen Terrace will require money, as well as a lot of buy-in from the community, a consultant told the City Council on Monday.

Joliet “needs to put together a bucket of money” to help cover acquisition of the low-income property should it win its condemnation proceedings against the owners, said Peter Holsten, president of Chicago-based Holsten Real Estate Development Corp.

A couple of options would be issuing bonds to cover the cost or assuming the mortgage on the site, Holsten said during a presentation at pre-council hearing.

At the same time, funding through Illinois Housing Development Authority tax credits and rent payments through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and other sources could help the city re-

coup its investment, Holsten said.

“A lot of people in Will County are chasing this money, so you have to get in the pipeline,” Holsten said.

In addition to lining up funding sources, Holsten emphasized the need to begin focus meeting with local “stakeholders,” including people living in the neighborhood, civic groups, churches and Evergreen Terrace residents.

“The community as a whole needs to weigh in,” Holsten said.

The company has been involved in a number of low-income housing rehabilitations, including Cabrini-Green in Chicago.

In most situations, the projects involved “de-densitizing” clusters of exclusively low-income housing with a mix of market-price homes, rental options and subsidized housing.

Work is generally phased in over time to stay within budget, Holsten said.

Evergreen Terrace would be

a very attractive investment for corporations seeking tax credits, Holsten noted. The process typically involves banks and other large companies putting up an equity stake in exchange for the credits over a 15-year period, he said, noting some companies realize a 15 to 17 percent return in the process.

Cost, however, still remained the main concern for some council members.

Councilman Bob O’Dekirk questioned if any of Holsten’s other property holdings were owned by a city. Holsten said they were not.

Councilman Larry Hug called the process a “$57 million roll of the dice.”

Several members of the community and businesses also chimed in on Evergreen Terrace.

Following the Holsten presentation, the council took up a spirited debate over a 2011 Evergreen Terrace feasibility study, which council members said they had never seen.

Civic leader Louis Peyla remembered

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Louis Peyla, a Joliet business owner and community leader, died Friday.

Peyla, 83, and his brother started Illinois Securities Company, an insurance business that still exits under different owners. He was a city council member in the Louis Peyla e a r l y 1 9 7 0 s , Joliet along with being a board member at the Joliet Rotary Club, Joliet Country Club, Downtown Development Council and Joliet YMCA. Local officials and business leaders recall the former Joliet figure as someone who was fun-loving and active in the community.

“He was just really a very involved guy,” said Russ Slinkard, chief executive of-

ficer for the Joliet Region Chamber of Commerce & Industry. “Knowing his family history was in Joliet, he continued to carry the banner for the Peyla family in the civic affairs.”

Peyla, along with his brother Charles, were the owners of the Illinois Securities Company for 40 years. Sherri Reardon, the current owner, recalls him as a generous and active community member. She said her husband’s family has been friends with Peyla’s family.

“He was a great guy and just a really nice person,” she said. “A couple of the people who worked for him said they all liked him and thought he was great.”

Peyla was born May 4, 1930, and was a graduate of the Cathedral of St. Raymond grade school, St. John’s Northwestern Military Academy and Illinois Wesleyan University.

He also served in the U.S. Marines as a captain.

He was married for 38 years

and had many children and grandchildren. Peyla is survived by his wife, Edna.

Joliet Mayor Thomas Giarrante said he remembers Peyla from the 1960s, when the mayor worked as a barber and his brother used to cut Peyla’s hair. He said Peyla was a wellliked gentleman who was involved in the community.

“Both him and his brother, Chuck, were very active in the community … they were very good community citizens,” he said.

Peyla died at Healthpark Medical Center in Fort Myers, Fla. The visitation will be from 4 to 7 p.m. Wednesday at Fred C. Dames Funeral Home, 3200 Black Road at Essington Road in Joliet. Funeral services will be at 9:15 a.m. Thursday from the same funeral home to the Cathedral of St. Raymond Nonnatus for a Mass of Christian Burial to be celebrated at 10 a.m.

24/7 suicide hot line faces funding shortfall

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com

• Tuesday, April 1, 2014

For 37 years, volunteers and staff members at Crisis Line of Will & Grundy Counties have been the voice-at-the-end-of-theline for people with thoughts of suicide – even in the middle of the night.

But whether the 24-hour suicide prevention hot line will be around for another 37 years to be that life-saving phone call remains in question, said Michele Batara, executive director for the organization.

The Crisis Line is experiencing “a crisis of its own,” she said, in part due to a depletion of funds, budget cuts and a July deadline to leave its current rental property because the building is being sold, Batara said. “[We have] cut as many expenses as we can. There is nowhere else to cut and still operate,” she said.

That, coupled with the need to relocate, is jeopardizing the hot line’s existence, Batara said.

“Even if we didn’t have to leave, we won’t be able to continue. But it’s hand in hand. If I find a location but I can’t afford it, it’s not going to do us any good,” Batara said. “We’re trying to find someone that can help support us or pay rent for us.”

Because the hot line often deals with people suffering from mental illnesses, the hot line’s location must remain confidential, secure and be accessible to its volunteers 24/7, she said.

One longtime volunteer, who wanted to remain anonymous because of the nature of the calls taken, said she finds

comfort in knowing she can be that lifeline for people in their darkest moments.

“Sometimes, in the middle of the night, you get people who are just kind of lonely who need to talk to someone, especially around the holidays,” the volunteer said.

Crisis Line offers an around-the-clock, confidential listening ear to 45,000 to 50,000 people in Will and Grundy counties for grief counseling, information referral and other services, Batara said.

About 25 volunteers fill 48, four-hour shifts throughout the week.

“We’re that extra support for individuals who can’t get into counseling every week. So where do they go? They turn to us. There are lot of individuals who are suicidal that we’re able to talk down,” she said. “We do deal with some very, very serious issues.”

For decades, the agency relied on a single, private $500,000 donation – first made in 1990 – to help pay rent, utilities and phone bills. But last year, that safety net ran out, Batara said.

“It’s really month by month right now. We’re to the point where we’ve already cut everything. We’ve cut staff, switched to a cheaper phone company. We’re at the point where there’s no extra money. We pay the bills and that’s all we’re doing,” she said.

The Crisis Line’s financial troubles likely are to worsen this year because the group’s major funding source, United Way of Will County, also is struggling to do more with less.

Last year, United Way fell short of its goal, and as a result, officials for the first time in 20

But that means the agencies United Way helps will see fewer dollars, said Michael Hennessy, president and CEO for the group.

“If things don’t change, we’ll have to reduce funding at a time when more people are reaching out for help,” Hennessy said. “That’s the dilemma we’ve seen over the last few years. Revenues have declined, yet demand for services grow.”

The Crisis Line serves Grundy County as well and, therefore, it also receives funds from the United Way of Grundy County annually.

For the past three years

Coffee mugs of the volunteers of the Crisis Line of Will County and Grundy hang in a hallway Thursday in Joliet. Some of the mugs could be more than 30 years old. the Grundy County organization has given the Crisis Line $16,000 a year. Before that, it gave $15,000 a year, said Karen Nall, executive director for the United Way of Grundy County.

Hennessy said Crisis Line’s service is vital, though it’s one that often goes unrecognized by the general population.

“They do things quietly behind the scenes. They field those calls. They get people the help they need to move forward in a positive way,” Hennessy said. “But if they went away, some people would really feel the impact of not having that 24/7 availability of service. It’s something that, frankly, people take for granted.”

Lockport City Council to vote on ticket charges

LOCKPORT

A Lockport Township Fire Protection District firefighter peers into a window Monday as firefighters work after putting out a fire that destroyed a home on Katherine Street in Lockport.

House fire accelerated by wind

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com LOCKPORT – Fire destroyed a house Monday afternoon in the 800 block of Katherine Street.

One woman was home at

the time and was treated for a burn at the scene, Lockport Township Fire Chief Dave Skoryi said. The fire was reported about 1:30 p.m.

“It started on the exterior of the house, but it turned out to be in the worst possi-

ble location because the wind took it right up to the attic and spread [to the rest] of the structure,” Skoryi said.

Skoryi said the cause of the fire is under investigation, but it appears to have started accidentally.

Vacant Joliet house set on fire p.m. to find heavy flames coming from the first floor of the two-story building.

JOLIET – A vacant house Firefighters spent about was set ablaze Saturday night an hour-and-a-half at the in the 300 block of South Jo- scene, Battalion Chief Jeff liet Street.

Carey said. No injuries were Crews arrived about 8:30 reported.

“Investigators determined an accelerant was poured on the first floor and the fire was started intentionally,” Carey said.

Heat from the fire also damaged the siding of the house next door.

LOCKPORT – After enough warnings, leaving unbundled branches or garbage cans out in the streets could cost you $25 in Lockport.

City Council members are scheduled to consider Wednesday an ordinance to ticket residents and eventually charge them $25 if they continue to leave unbundled branches in right-of-way areas. They also are set to consider approving the same penalty for residents who leave their garbage cans in the road after their designated garbage pick-up day or in prohibited areas.

Earlier this year, the City Council approved an ordinance that would fine residents $25 if they plowed their snow in their driveways into the street.

The tickets for unbundled branches and garbage cans wouldn’t come right away.

Residents would be given a three-day notice to bundle branches or remove garbage cans. After that, an administrative ticket would be issued, leaving them 15 days to comply or pay $25 and also comply.

The administrative ticket would be less expensive than the other route, which would be taking violators to court, city officials have said. Court costs would be a minimum of $145 and does not include the fines, which typically are $40.

Joe Findlay, the city’s public works director, said the city has a contract with Waste Management to pick up bundled branches in the area, so

“I think it’s a pretty fair policy. There’s brush around town that I know that’s sat out since last summer ...”

Joe Findlay Lockport public works director long as they do not exceed four feet in length and weigh more than 60 pounds in weight.

“What that did allow was city workers to do other work needed with valve maintenance and pot holes and things of that nature,” he said.

City officials have said public works department staff needed to clean out branches in the street anyways, which has resulted in the assumption by some residents that they will eventually be the ones to pick them up.

“I think it’s a pretty fair policy,” Findlay said. He later added, “There’s brush around town that I know that’s sat out since last summer but we need to somehow deal with brushes sitting in the parkways.”

Second Ward Alderman Kelly Turner said if the ordinance is meant to go after habitual offenders, he’s for it. But he wants to make it clear at Wednesday’s meeting how this could affect senior citizens, for whom bundling branches can be hard work, he said.

“Imagine a 75-year-old trying to do that,” he said. “We’ve got to take everyone into account, not just people in their 30s and 40s.”

in the front of the business, according to police.

Smith, who was found with “numerous empty beer bottles next to him,” used a lighter in his possession and

materials at the business to start the fire, police said. He resisted arrest and struck a police officer when officers attempted to take him into custody, according to police.

Smith was charged with aggravated battery and criminal damage to property and was transported to the Will County Adult Detention Facility.

Josh Fazio.

In September 2012, Fazio was working as an investigator in computer forensics when he alleges that Kaupas brought in an iPad and asked him to “crack the passcode to investigate whether [Kaupas’ wife] was cheating on him,” according to the lawsuit.

Fazio also alleged Lt. Jeff McKenzie instructed him to send McKenzie a DVD of pornography at the FBI academy two years earlier because McKenzie didn’t have Internet access.

When Fazio complained to

a supervisor about Kaupas and McKenzie’s orders, he says he was reassigned to the patrol division at less pay and benefits. Fazio later resigned, and claims in the lawsuit that circumstances effectively forced him to do so.

Motions filed for Kaupas and the county said Fazio’s allegations are “an admission” he can’t show he was fired and that he has no grounds to claim he was.

The lawsuit also doesn’t contain any specific statements Kaupas or other employees made that were de-

famatory or who they were made to, according to the motions. “[It] simply lists several conclusory statements without alleging any specific statements or underlying facts to support them ... [it] utterly fails to state a cause of action for defamation or slander,” Partelow said in the motions.

Fazio has also said the county has not given him a copy of his personnel records as they are required to. He is seeking damages of $50,000.

The next hearing in the case is scheduled for April 15.

Child injured after being hit by vehicle

Cost of a two-week hospital stay

55.3k $ 0

$

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A 4-year-old boy was seriously injured Sunday after being run over by a car while riding his bicycle.

The child suffered a dislocated left hip, broken right femur and fractured left fibula and tibia, but his injuries are not considered life-threatening. He is being treated at Children’s Hospital in Oak Lawn.

Cost of calling 811 before you dig

Whoever said time is money never tried building a fence or developing a plot of land without 811. The fact is, there are millions of miles of utilities throughout the nation. Some transport water or electricity; others carry oil or gas. A call to 811 can save you time, cash, and most importantly, your life. What’s safety worth to you?

Cmdr. Al Roechner said the accident happened about 6:30 p.m. in the alley behind the 900 block of Oakland Avenue.

The child was riding out of a driveway into the alley when he was hit by a 1999 Ford Taurus driven by Mykala K. Robinson, 21.

“He became lodged under the vehicle and witnesses used a jack to raise the car off of him before firefighters ar-

rived,” Roechner said.

Roechner said officers noticed a strong odor of marijuana coming from the Taurus and Robinson admitted smoking it just before the crash.

Robinson, of the 900 block of Wilcox Street, was arrested and booked into the Will County Jail on charges of aggravated driving under the influence and driving under the influence of drugs.

Call 811 before any digging project.

JOLIET – Police say a man choked his ex-girlfriend and pistol-whipped her brother when he interfered.

The confrontation happened about 6 p.m. Friday in the 800 block of Rosalind Street when Ronald L. Hunter, 24, came over to visit the 25-year-old woman and their three children.

“They began arguing and her 23-year-old brother went upstairs to see Hunter choking the woman,” Cmdr. Al Roechner said. “When he tried to intervene, Hunter took out a black handgun and hit him over the head with it.”

Hunter then allegedly threatened to kill them all before fleeing. The victims called police, who found Hunter hiding in some bushes in the 2000 block

of Englewood Avenue, just outside the city limits. Officers also found a pistol where Hunter was hiding, Roechner said.

Hunter, of the 100 block of Edison Road, was arrested on charges of aggravated battery, aggravated domestic battery, aggravated assault, unauthorized possession of a firearm, unauthorized possession of ammunition and criminal trespassing.

JOLIET – The Joliet Park District plan to add video gaming to its golf clubhouses follows decisions by at least three other government entities to get on the gambling bandwagon.

The Joliet board is scheduled to vote at a special meeting set for 7 a.m. Wednesday on a five-year agreement with Donico LLC to run two machines at the Inwood Golf Course clubhouse.

The Hoffman Estates Park District on March 25 approved a “one-year trial” of video gaming in the restaurant of the Bridges of Poplar Creek Country Club. The 5-2 vote was not without controversy.

Board President Keith Evans voted against the measure.

Other park districts with gaming licenses already in place include Elk Grove and Foss in northern Chicago, according to the Illinois Gaming Board. In February, Elk Grove took in $36,039 and paid out $33,064, while Foss took in $135,009 and paid out $122,975, according to gaming board records.

Nothing in the state Video Gaming Act speaks one way or the other about government entities from obtaining a gaming license, said Gene O’Shea, a spokesman with the state gaming board. The only requirements for a gaming license is a liquor license and a clean background check.

O’Shea said several park districts across the state have applied for the license.

Joliet Park Board President Glen Marcum said the plan to add gambling to enhance golf course revenue has been pretty straightforward, especially considering the number of businesses in the area that already offer video gaming. No comments were offered during public hearings on the plan, he said.

About 60 Joliet businesses have video gaming licenses, according to Illinois Game

Board records.

“There are so many of them in Joliet, it’s not that big of a thing,” Marcum said.

“The one concern was not to upset the IHSA [Illinois High School Association] during golf meets,” Marcum said. The machines would be shut off during meets, he said.

The park district will have the option to drop the contract after two years, though a new vendor would not be allowed at Inwood for the duration of the original five-year contract, Marcum said.

The district eventually plans to add machines at its Woodruff and Wedgewood golf courses, Marcum said.

The board decided to hold a special Wednesday morning meeting on the issue because it was the only time all of the park board commissioners could meet before the 5 p.m.

April 28 regular meeting, Marcum said. The board did not want to wait that long to vote on the gaming contract, he said.

Hickory Street shots lead to police chase in Joliet

$

99

JOLIET – Five teens were arrested early Saturday after authorities said they shot at another vehicle on North Hickory Street.

Cmdr. Al Roechner said just after the shots were reported at 1:45 a.m. in the 300 block of North Hickory, a detective saw two cars driving over the Jefferson Street Bridge “at high speeds” and pursued them.

The vehicles split up, but officers pursued a gray 1998 Ford Escort on Chicago Street to Fifth Avenue to Eastern Av-

enue, where the car stopped at a dead end, Roechner said.

A 16-year-old boy fled from the car and ran away before being recaptured in the 600 block of Gardner Street, Roechner said.

Brandon Maiden, 19, a 17-year-old boy and a 13-yearold boy remained inside the Escort, where officers found a .45-caliber handgun under the passenger seat, Roechner said.

The gun had been reported stolen from Kenosha, Wis. “With probable cause to search the vehicle, they checked the trunk and found another 17-year-old boy hiding

inside with two loaded guns,” Roechner said.

Police also reportedly found shell casings on Hickory Street.

Maiden, of the 600 block of South Gordon Avenue in Kankakee, was arrested on charges of aggravated discharge of a firearm, aggravated unlawful use of a weapon, possession of a stolen firearm and marijuana possession.

He was booked into the Will County Jail while the four juveniles were booked into the River Valley Juvenile Detention Center on the same charges.

Joliet man gets eight years for shooting four people

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A man will serve eight years in prison as part of a plea deal to avoid trial for attempted murder in a gunfire attack that injured four people.

Ian C. Warren, 31, pleaded guilty Monday to one count of aggravated battery with a firearm from the June 17, 2012, attack.

Warren previously served a prison sentence after being convicted for his part in a 2000 robbery of a Joliet pizza restaurant where one woman was shot.

None of the victims in the 2012 shooting originally cooperated with investigators. But Fredrick D. Myers, who was struck in the arm, identified Warren as the assailant two days later.

“It’s my belief Myers identified Warren to police to find relief when a warrant was issued in his own case that week,” defense attorney Cosmo Tedone said. Myers, 22, is currently serving a 5-year-sentence for possession of a firearm by a felon.

“It’s my belief Myers identiied Warren to police to ind relief when a warrant was issued in his own case that week.”

Cosmo Tedone Defense attorney Tedone told Judge Amy Bertani-Tomczak that Myers told him during an interview from prison that he and Warren are friends and have no conflict with each other.

Assistant Will County State’s Attorney Steve Platek acknowledged Myers has changed his story and most recently recanted his previous statements naming Warren as the shooter. But the state would have been able to prove the attempted murder and four aggravated battery counts against Warren if the case went to trial, Platek said.

About 30 people were outside in the 1400 block of Englewood Avenue when Warren ran up and shot Ruben L. Porter, 28, a dozen times, according to police. The cellphone in

Porter’s pocket deflected two potentially fatal bullets, police said.

Myers, who was standing next to Porter, a 26-year-old woman and 17-year-old girl also were injured.

“Porter was the intended target of the attack because Warren believed he was responsible for the recent murder of Donald Autman,” Platek told Bertani-Tomczak.

Autman, 29, was fatally shot June 3, 2012, in the 1500 block of Englewood Avenue.

No one has been charged in that crime.

At the time of the shooting, Warren was on parole for dealing marijuana. He has also been convicted of aggravated battery to a police officer and delivery of drugs.

On July 2, 2000, Warren was arrested with two other men after shooting a woman while robbing Chuck E. Cheese on West Jefferson Street. He was sentenced to three years in prison and served time then.

Warren faced up to 30 years in prison but was sentenced to the conditions of the plea agreement, which also dismissed two traffic tickets.

STATE

13

By JOHN O’CONNOR The Associated Press SPRINGFIELD – Republican congressional candidate Bobby Schilling is running against two opponents in the November election – one an incumbent congresswoman and the other a map of electoral districts favoring Illinois Democrats.

What happened in Illinois after the decennial census in 2010 is a mirror image of most of the rest of the country, where Republican legislatures doing the map-drawing helped the GOP retain a 33-seat majority in Congress in 2012, despite widespread losses.

With solid majorities in the state House and Senate as well as control of the governor’s mansion, the Democrats had complete control over the Illinois redistricting process in 2011. They used it to defeat Schilling and three other Illinois Republican congressmen in 2012, solidifying their hold on President Barack Obama’s home state.

That leaves Schilling, a Colona pizzeria owner, and other Republicans scrambling to find voters while campaigning hard against Obama’s health care overhaul.

“It’s not an easy task, by any means,” Schilling said.

But regardless of the map, voters still have to show up, and

FTC: Sunday car sales ban bad for competition The ASSOCIATED PRESS SPRINGFIELD – Illinois’ long-standing ban on Sunday automobile sales isn’t good for competition and can be harmful to the marketplace, according to federal regulatory officials.

Staff at the Federal Trade Commission said the state’s prohibition on Sunday automobile sales also makes it more difficult for drivers to shop around for the best deal.

The agency issued the statement late last week in response to a measure introduced by state Sen. Jim Oberweis, who wants to repeal the law that went into effect in 1983. Oberweis, a Sugar Grove Republican who’s pushing to lift the ban, asked the FTC to weigh in.

“Sunday closings impair competition and harm consumers by making it more difficult for consumers to search for the vehicle that best meets their needs and the dealer who offers their desired car at the lowest price and best terms of sale,” the agency said in a seven-page letter to Oberweis that

was dated March 26.

Violators can face a $1,500 fine.

The ban still is supported by many car sellers, who said it cuts overhead, levels the playing field and gives employees a day off.

Larry Doll, legal counsel for the Illinois Automobile Dealers Association, told The (Springfield) State Journal-Register that a single-day closure doesn’t affect a sale.

“A vehicle isn’t an impulse buy, so there’s a lot of planning that goes into that ahead of time,” Doll said. “I don’t think that extra day is going to have an impact.”

For his part, Oberweis said he doesn’t think the state should regulate when a business can be open.

“We need to rethink the weak argument that car dealers should be closed Sundays to give their employees a day off and keep costs down,” he said.

“Plenty of other employers and stores set their hours – with full consideration of what their competition is doing – without input from the government.”

without Obama at the top of the ticket, he said fewer Democrats vote in the district in northwest Illinois, along the Mississippi River. And while Obama beat Republican Mitt Romney by 50,000 votes there in 2012, Schilling lost to Democrat Cheri Bustos by 19,000.

“The people that flipped and voted for Obama but didn’t vote for Cheri Bustos, those are the independent thinkers, those are the people that show up year-in, yearout,” Schilling said, explaining how he hopes to make a comeback.

A federal court turned aside a Republican lawsuit over the map, despite noting that the new district lines rep-

resented “a blatant political move to increase the number of Democratic congressional seats.”

It worked. Illinois Democrats picked off five GOP congressmen after the state lost a seat because of slowing population growth. The delegation now has 12 Democrats – in the same dozen districts Obama won two years ago. Four of the Democrats who won seats in 2012 – Bustos, Tammy Duckworth, Brad Schneider, and Bill Foster – are in districts that the president won with at least 57 percent of the vote.

“When one party has total control over redistricting, they have every incentive in the world to maximize their

advantage, whichever party it is, within bounds of the law,” said Christopher Mooney, director of the Institute of Government and Public Affairs at the University of Illinois.

But not even a favorable map ensures victory. Schneider, for example, won narrowly and faces a rematch with the Republican he defeated, Robert Dold.

“This is a district that will split tickets, is far more independent than most,” Dold said.

Of course, it cuts both ways. Freshman GOP Rep. Rodney Davis won by 1,002 votes in a central Illinois district that Romney won by only 928 votes.

STATE BRIEFS Judge: Malaysian plane court filing improper CHICAGO – A judge has thrown out a civil action on behalf of a relative of a Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 passenger, scolding the Chicago law firm involved for what she described as an improper filing.

In a step toward a full-fledged lawsuit, Ribbeck Law Chartered asked Cook County Circuit Court last week to order Malaysia Airlines and Chicago-based Boeing Co. to turn over any documents related to the plane’s disappearance.

Judge Kathy Flanagan rejected the firm’s request in her fourpage ruling Friday, saying the filing didn’t conform to Illinois law, in part, because ordering evidence to be preserved can only happen when potential defendants are known.

The court papers were filed by the law firm on behalf of Januari Siregar, who the law firm says is a relative of Indonesian-born passenger Firman Chandra Siregar.

The exact relationship wasn’t clear from the documents.

A spokesman for Ribbeck Law said Monday the ruling won’t end

the firm’s push for a full-fledged lawsuit.

First gun-carry permit revoked in Illinois

WIU increases tuition this fall about 3 percent

CHICAGO – A Chicago man is the first in Illinois to have his permit to carry a concealed weapon revoked.

The Chicago Sun-Times reported 54-year-old William P. O’Connell was arrested March 23 on suspicion of a misdemeanor charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.

O’Connell was allegedly involved in a dispute over rent money with a 52-year-old man.

Police said O’Connell pointed a handgun and threatened to shoot the man.

The Illinois State Police have revoked O’Connell’s concealed-carry permit. The law prohibits carrying by anyone involved in an action that could lead to disqualification.

State police spokeswoman Monique Bond confirmed Monday that O’Connell is the first revocation subject.

O’Connell did not immediately respond to a message left at his home.

MACOMB – It will cost about 3 percent more to attend Western Illinois University this fall.

The school’s Board of Trustees approved a 2.99 percent increase for undergraduate students and a 2.97 percent increase for graduate students.

The increases approved Friday affect tuition, fees and room and board. The price is guaranteed for four years for students entering WIU’s Macomb campus in the fall.

Students taking a 15-hour semester will pay about $8,600 a year. Graduate tuition for a 24-hour year will cost about $7,600.

Double-occupancy room and board costs will rise $260 to $9,450. Fees will rise about $115 to about $2,650.

Trustees also approved a 13-percent increase in student health insurance to $934 a year.

Deadline dash: Health care sign-ups amid glitches She’d wait and wait and they wouldn’t call her name, or they would ask her for paperwork that she was told earlier she didn’t need, she said. Her diabetic mother would start sweating so they’d have to leave.

She’s heard “that this would be better here,” said Martinez, adding that her mother successfully signed up Sunday at a different location.

At St. Francis Hospital in Wilmington, Del., enrollment counselor Hubert Worthen plunged into a long day. “I got my energy drink,” he said.

“This is epic, man.”

At a Houston community center, there were immigrants from Ethiopia, Nepal, Eritrea, Somalia, Iraq, Iran and other conflict-torn areas, many of them trying anew after failing to complete applications previously. In addition to needing help with the actual enrollment, they needed to wait for interpreters. Many had taken a day off from work, hoping to meet the deadline.

The White House and other supporters of the law were hoping for an enrollment surge that would push sign-ups in the new health insurance markets to around 6.5 million people.

That’s halfway between a re-

vised goal of 6 million and the original target of 7 million. The first goal was scaled back after the federal website’s disastrous launch last fall, which kept it offline during most of October.

The insurance markets – or exchanges – offer subsidized private health insurance to people who don’t have access to coverage through their jobs.

The federal government is taking the lead in 36 states, while 14 other states plus Washington, D.C., are running their own enrollment websites.

New York, running its own site, reported more than 812,000 had signed up by Sunday morning, nearly 100,000 of them last week.

However, it’s unclear what those numbers may mean.

The administration hasn’t said how many of the 6 million people nationally who had signed up before the weekend ultimately closed the deal by paying their first month’s premiums. Also unknown is how many were previously uninsured – the real test of Obama’s health care overhaul. In addition, the law expands coverage for low-income people through Medicaid, but only about half the states have agreed to implement that option.

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

But on Monday, Yellen indicated that the Fed still thinks rates should remain low to stimulate borrowing, spending and economic growth.

Stocks, which had been up before Yellen began speaking, rose further on her remarks. The Dow Jones industrial average closed up about 134 points. Low rates tend to lead some investors to shift money into stocks and thereby raise stock prices.

By RICARDO ALONSO–ZALDIVAR The Associated Press WASHINGTON – In a flood of last-minute sign-ups, hundreds of thousands of Americans rushed to apply for health insurance Monday, as deadline day for President Barack Obama’s overhaul brought long waits and a new spate of website ills.

“This is like trying to find a parking spot at Wal-Mart on Dec. 23,” said Jason Stevenson, working with a Utah nonprofit group helping people enroll.

Supporters of the health care law fanned out across the country in a final dash to sign up uninsured Americans.

The HealthCare.gov website, which was receiving 1.5 million visitors a day last week, had recorded about 1.2 million through noon Monday.

At times, more than 125,000 people were simultaneously using the system, straining it beyond its previously estimated capacity. People not signed up for health insurance by the deadline, either through their jobs or on their own, were subject to being fined by the IRS, and that threat was helping drive the final dash.

The administration an-

Monday’s planned Senate vote would send legislation to repair Medicare’s flawed payment formula for a year to President Barack Obama for his signature.

It comes just hours before a midnight deadline.

The $21 billion measure would stave off a 24 percent cut in Medicare reimbursements to doctors for a year and extend dozens of other expiring health care provisions such as higher

to health care providers, but fully half of the cuts won’t kick in for 10 years.

It’s the seventeenth temporary “patch” to a broken payment formula that dates to 1997 and comes after lawmakers failed to reach a deal on financing a permanent fix.

The measure passed the House on Thursday, but only after top leaders in both parties engineered a voice vote when it became clear they were having difficulty mustering the twothirds vote required to advance it under expedited procedures.

WORLD BRIEF Australia says no time limit on Flight 370 search PERTH, Australia – Although it has been slow, difficult and frustrating so far, the search for the missing Malaysia Airlines jet is nowhere near the point of being scaled back, Australia’s prime minister pledged Monday.

The three-week hunt for Flight 370 has turned up no sign of the Boeing 777, which vanished March 8 with 239 people bound for Beijing from Kuala Lumpur. Ten planes and 11 ships found no sign of the missing plane in the search zone in the southern Indian Ocean, about 1,150 miles west of Australia, officials said.

The search area has evolved as experts analyzed Flight 370’s limited radar and satellite data, is now 98,000 square miles, about a 2½-hour flight from Perth.

Which is why, obviously, we are worried by these movements of armed forces. We have no clear explanation from the Russian side about the aim of these movements.”

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry also discussed Ukraine by phone Monday, a day after holding talks in Paris, the ministry said.

A senior U.S. official said Lavrov had promised Kerry that a division of Russian troops would be pulled back; a division generally consists of thousands of troops.

“Now there have been reports of possible drawdowns of Russian military forces from the border. We haven’t seen that yet, but if they turn out to be accurate, that would be a good thing,” said White House spokesman Jay Carney.

Concerns of an invasion of eastern Ukraine – home to many ethnic Russians – were stoked by the large numbers of troops Russia had along the Ukrainian border for what Moscow said were military exercises.

One Russian battalion –

about 500 troops – that had been sent to the Rostov region next to Ukraine was being withdrawn to its permanent base in the central Samara region, Russian news agencies quoted the Defense Ministry as saying Monday.

Alexander Rozmaznin, deputy chief of the Ukrainian armed forces command center, confirmed a drop in Russian troop numbers along the border.

In Kiev, meanwhile, Ukraine’s acting president flatly rejected escalating Russian pressure to turn Ukraine into a loose federation.

“Russia’s leadership should deal with problems in the Russian Federation, and not with Ukraine’s problems,” Ukraine’s acting president Oleksandr Turchinov said. “It is Ukrainians that should dictate the form of the new constitution and how the country is structured.”

Medvedev, who led a delegation of Cabinet ministers on a surprise visit to Crimea, pledged that Russia will quickly boost salaries and pensions there and pour in resources to improve education, health care

and local infrastructure.

But making no mistake about Russia’s view of the peninsula, Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin tweeted a photo of himself upon arrival with the words “Crimea is ours, and that’s that.”

Russia annexed Crimea from Ukraine in March after a hastily called referendum held just two weeks after Russian forces had taken control the Black Sea region. Ukraine and the West have rejected the vote.

The annexation came after Ukraine’s President Viktor Yanukovych was ousted in February and fled to Russia following months of protests. Russia claims the ouster was a coup and that the new Ukrainian authorities are nationalist fascists who will abuse Ukraine’s large ethnic Russian population.

To keep its influence over eastern and southern Ukraine, Russia has pushed for Ukraine to become a federation where regions would have broad powers. The U.S. says it’s up to Ukrainians to determine the structure of their government, not Moscow.

SIMFEROPOL, Crimea – Russia said Monday it was pulling a battalion of several hundred troops away from the Ukrainian border but kept tens of thousands in place, prompting a worried response from the Kiev government about what the U.S. warned was still a “tremendous buildup.”

Russia moved quickly to strengthen its economic hold on Crimea, with Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev arriving in this newly annexed peninsula with promises of funds for improved power supplies, water lines, education and pensions for the elderly.

Russia’s takeover of the strategic Black Sea region, its troop buildup near Ukraine’s border and its attempts to compel constitutional changes in Ukraine have markedly raised tensions with the West and prompted fears that Moscow intends to invade other areas of its neighbor.

However, Russian President Vladimir Putin told German

Chancellor Angela Merkel in a phone call Monday that some troops were being withdrawn from the Ukraine border, Merkel’s office said. The withdrawal involved a battalion of about 500 troops, Russian news reports said.

The U.S. reacted cautiously to the Russian troop movement, with Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel saying that “tens of thousands” of Russian forces still remained along the Ukrainian Dmitry border, a situa- Medvedev tion he called “a tremendous buildup.”

The new government in Ukraine said the action only increased its uneasiness about Russia’s intentions.

“We have information that Russia is carrying out incomprehensible maneuvers on the border with Ukraine,” Ukrainian Foreign Ministry spokesman Yevgen Perebyinis said. “Troops in some places are moving backward, some of them are moving forward.

Feds need plan to keep carp out Great Lakes senators are turning up the heat on the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers over efforts to prevent Asian carp from colonizing the lakes. In a letter dated March 14 and signed by a bipartisan group of 11 senators, the lawmakers emphasized the “need to implement short-term measures to stop Asian carp from getting into the Great Lakes, and to move aggressively toward a long-term solution.”

The senators are right. Both approaches are needed, including a serious look at rebuilding the natural divide between the lakes and the Mississippi River watershed. Both Wisconsin senators, Republican Ron Johnson and Democrat Tammy Baldwin, signed the letter. Senators from Indiana and Illinois did not sign; their states would be most affected by an effort to close man-made links between the two watersheds via Chicago canals.

Right now, only an electric barrier on the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal about 35 miles from Lake Michigan is preventing these aggressive fish from taking up residence in the lakes.

But the electric barrier doesn’t repel all sizes of fish.

The Journal Sentinel’s Dan Egan, who has written extensively on the Great Lakes and the Asian carp menace, reports that one idea proposed in a new Army Corps plan is modification of a navigation lock downstream from Lake Michigan to block migration of species between the basins. There is concern about migration of unwanted species in both directions, including a fish-killing virus that could harm fish farms in the South.

But lock modification isn’t a long-term solution, and some conservationists are worried that if the Army Corps pursues this idea, the agency will not look for a permanent answer. “To move forward with a long-term solution, a phased implementation may be needed,” the senators

Quinn, democrats in cahoots over budget address It turns out that the governor and the two Democratic legislative leaders met privately for at least several days to negotiate details of Gov. Pat Quinn’s budget address.

The highly unusual move means that most, if not all aspects of Quinn’s budget proposals last week have already been agreed to by the Democrats who run the Illinois Statehouse.

House Speaker Michael Madigan tipped his hand after the governor’s address during Jak Tichenor’s invaluable “Illinois Lawmakers” Public Television program when he twice insisted that the governor’s property tax proposal was actually his idea.

The governor proposed eliminating the state’s property tax credit, which is currently worth 5 percent of property taxes paid, and replacing it with an automatic $500 tax refund.

That idea was apparently just one of Madigan’s demands in exchange for supporting the governor’s proposal to make the “temporary” income tax hike permanent, which was the

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Mark Turk

• MILLER Continued from page 16 the speech, and warned of the “potentially devastating cuts that would be necessary without adequate revenue,” which seemed like an all but endorsement of the governor’s proposal to keep income taxes at their current levels.

Why is that so important?

Well, Bruce Rauner’s wife, Diana, is the Ounce of Prevention Fund’s president.

So, while Rauner blasted the governor’s budget address as yet another “broken promise” to Illinoisans, said Quinn was “doubling down

on his failed policies” by proposing to keep the tax hike permanent and asserted that he could “balance the budget without more tax increases,” Mrs. Rauner’s highly respected organization was saying just the opposite, that the budget proposal was a “vital investment in the state’s future at a critical juncture.”

Heh. Then again, Diana Rauner’s more liberal approach could help soften her husband’s hardcore image.

Before the speech, Speaker Madigan warned his House Democrats during a closed-door caucus meeting to “keep their powder dry” about the governor’s

proposals. Madigan doesn’t want his members getting too far ahead of the game and making statements that they might have to take back when the velvet hammer comes down on their heads later in the session.

As a consequence, not many were eager to talk about the governor’s income tax hike proposal. It wasn’t difficult to see in their faces that they knew what was coming, however. They are all in for yet another extremely tough vote this year.

Few want to take that vote, but most know they’ll probably have little to no choice in the matter.

One nervous member

expressed the hope that the tax hike would simply be extended until the end of the fiscal year, then let Rauner deal with it if he’s elected.

But that idea was quickly shot down by a top Madigan lieutenant.

“And vote for this again?” he asked, incredulously.

They already took one vote, after an election during a late evening lame duck session that they’ve been hammered with constantly for over three years. No more of those, apparently.

Best solution is to build divide between watersheds • CARP Continued from page 16 wrote. “What interim measures could the Corps move forward with that would allow for the most flexibility with a long-term solution?”

The Army Corps’ 10,000page study released in January looked at a variety of ways to stop the carp. We

continue to believe, as do most scientists, that the best way to fix the problem is to rebuild the divide between the two watersheds.

The study said that could cost up to $18 billion and take decades, but a Journal Sentinel analysis of the plan showed that a great deal of that price tag is tied to upgrades to Chicago’s waste and storm water systems

that have very little to do with preventing the carp from entering the lake. That includes about $12 billion for new reservoirs, sewer tunnels, water treatment plants and other work. A plan released two years ago by the Great Lakes Commission put the cost of separating the basins at as little as $3 billion and said it would take years – not decades – to

complete.

The carp would create havoc in the Great Lakes and its multibillion-dollar fishery. The Army Corps should take decisive action to stop them with a long-term plan that will work. We think that has to include plugging the highway that lets them in: the Chicago canals.

To the Editor: I believe that people that volunteer their time, talents, and, yes, give of their funds as they can afford are happier and more fulfilled.

In our world and more specifically, our local community, there are so many people in need and deserve help with so many causes that are worthy.

It is a pity that so few people are willing to give up a little of their time and/or talents to help improve someone less fortunate than they.

I’m not approving of the government’s reallocation of wealth theory. Rather, I am saying that we who can help those who really need our assistance should give that help. Almost anyone can give a couple hours per week to help someone.

The “Good Book” does dictate that we help those in need, even if we are receiving help ourselves.

Being a member of the Joliet Noon Lions Club I’m prejudiced.

The Service Clubs, such as Lions, Rotary, Kiwanis, Exchange Clubs, are the easiest and offer camaraderie and fun, too.

Volunteering with your house of worship and/or simply at a hospital, nursing home, senior center, school, favorite charity, and/or library can be greatly satisfying and help you to “bring cheer to a dark corner.”

Volunteering will help those who need help, and may make your own problems seem less severe.

Moreover, it will make you feel more fulfilled and give your life even more purpose while giving you the warm feeling that you made a difference.

Try it. Those who do will really enjoy the act of volunteering and will be a big help to someone else.

If you don’t know where to start, call me, Mark Turk at 815-922-4065, and I’ll help you with ideas.

Together we can improve the world a little at a time.

Dan Potempa would have liked another score, he was more troubled by the fact that the wind disrupted one of his squad’s early strengths, its possession game.

“The wind really kind of took us out of our game,” Potempa said. “We can possess the ball really well and the first time playing on grass and the wind really kind of threw us for a loop. But we tell the girls that if you put the ball in dangerous positions that good things can happen and that showed in

both of today’s goals.

“We’ve got a lot of potential on our team. We have a lot of good, talented players and we’re working as a unit really well. I’m really happy with how we’ve been possessing the ball. We’re moving it around the field and doing good things with it. That’s good for our future since if we’re doing that in March, hopefully it will be better in May.” With the Porters doing their best to prevent Kyleigh Maday from getting good

chances, Celtics Regan Flaherty and Mikayla Sanders were denied on early attempts. But in the 22nd minute, Czerwinski curved in a corner kick to give the guests the early lead.

After Taylor Stortz was turned away early in the final half, freshman Karlee Stortz sent a floater toward the net in the 44th minute that not only tied things up, but also broke the Porters’ scoreless drought.

“I just turned and let it go and it turned out to be one of the most amazing shots that I’ve taken and I didn’t think that it was going to go in,” Karlee Stortz said. “A lot of the girls on our team are new but we don’t really care about anyones’ age since we all work together well. This is a great group of girls to play soccer with.”

Both sides had chances during the last half hour with Porter keeper Cassidy Henson stopping Alyssa Dorning, Czerwinski and Flaherty while Celtic goalie Nicki Griffith denied Kayla Sierzega, Allison Polinski and Taylor Stortz.

LOCKPORT – After watching his squad go more than 200 minutes without scoring to open the season, Lockport girls soccer coach Todd Elkei was happy when a ball finally went into the net.

And the veteran coach didn’t even mind that his team’s initial goal may have been a pass rather than a shot. But that’s how strong winds affected Monday’s nonconference match between Providence Catholic and Lockport.

The Celtics got a wind-aided corner kick from Katie Czerwinski just past the midpoint of the opening half while the hosts responded with their score from Karlee Stortz shortly after the intermission.

While both sides had some other good chances, that was it for the scoring as Lockport posted its third straight draw while Providence moved to 3-2-1 on the young season.

“We gave up an unlucky goal in the first half but we battled and came back,” Elkei said. “We didn’t know if Karlee would play and then she got an opportunity and took advantage. We’re used to having some girls on our team who can score so it’s a case of who’s going to step up and someone who just came up and was off the bench does.”

The Porters graduated almost all of their successful squad from a year ago, leaving Elkei and assistant Chris Beal with a big challenge this season.

“This was only our third game and our fourth time outside and you can only simulate so much in a gym,” Elkei said. “We’re finding new roles for people and trying to figure out how it fits together because this is a completely new team. Our seniors, Mary Licata, Courtney Hackett, Taylor Stortz and Sammy Calderaro, are doing a good job of letting these girls know what we expect.”

Good beginning for locals in major leagues The opening of baseball season could not have worked out better for three of our own.

Infielder Dean Anna (Lincoln-Way East) made the New York Yankees’ opening day roster.

Right-handed pitcher Tanner Roark (Wilmington) is in the Washington rotation.

In fact, he will start the Nationals’ home opener Friday against Atlanta. Let the celebration begin in Wilmington.

Left-hander Tony Cingrani (Lincoln-Way Central) will start Game 2 of the Cincinnati Reds’ series against St. Louis on Wednesday night.

It’s enough to get us excited about the new season, even though I’m afraid we will endure another summer of the bad, though improving, Cubs and the bad, but hopefully better, White Sox. The Pacific Coast League batting champion last season,

VIEWS Dick Goss Anna had not been in the big leagues previously. He ended spring training in a three-way competition for the Yankees’ two backup infield positions, with major league veteran Brendan Ryan on the disabled list.

Anna provides a left-handed bat, a solid backup to shortstop Derek Jeter and can play third base and second base, as well. Yankees manager Joe Girardi has said Anna, who is 27, is ideal for the utility role.

When Ryan returns, it will be interesting to see whether Anna remains with the parent club.

Roark, who went 7-1 with a 1.51 ERA when he was called up to the Nationals last August, was in competition with

young Taylor Jordan for the fifth starter spot. But when Doug Fister had to start the season on the disabled list, that put Roark, 27, and Jordan in the rotation and saved manager Matt Williams from a difficult decision.

Williams said both pitchers earned the right to start with their work in spring training, but there was room for only one. Although Roark has had experience relieving, the odd man out was ticketed for Triple-A Syracuse, so he could continue starting until needed in Washington. So when Fister returns, it will be interesting to check Roark’s status.

Cingrani, after posting a 7-4 record with a 2.92 ERA and 120 strikeouts in 104 2⁄3 innings as a fill-in starter last season, now is counted on as a mainstay in a Reds’ rotation that lost Bronson Arroyo in the offseason.

Finally, if you’re like me – not a Cubs fan – you still may want to tune in to Cubs’ radio broadcasts as often as possible. Former major leaguer Ron Coomer (Lockport) is working with Pat Hughes in the WGN Radio booth, and from what I have heard, “Coom Dawg” will do an excellent job.

No doubt about it, having a few locals to follow adds to the enjoyment of our baseball season.

WJOL/Don Ladas tourney Years ago, we watched Anna, Roark, Cingrani and several others currently in professional baseball toil for their high school teams.

At this early juncture, our high schools have played games whenever and wherever they could. However, what we like to consider the kickoff to the new season comes later this week with the WJOL/Don

Ladas Memorial Tournament.

The event is slated to begin Thursday and conclude Saturday. Thursday’s schedule is highlighted by a doubleheader at Lockport with Plainfield South meeting Joliet Catholic at 4:30 p.m. and Joliet West facing Lockport at 7 p.m. Two other games will begin at 4:30 p.m., Joliet Central at Minooka and Plainfield Central at Providence.

Two morning games are scheduled Saturday at Lockport and two more at Providence. Games for seventh, fifth, third and first place are scheduled Saturday afternoon at Silver Cross Field beginning at 12:15 p.m. The title game should start about 7:30 p.m.

Saturday at Silver Cross will provide an excellent opportunity to see many of this area’s top teams and individuals.

Plan to take advantage.

WHITE SOX 5, TWINS 3

New Bears defensive end Jared Allen laughs during a news conference where Allen was introduced Monday in Lake Forest.

Allen couldn’t be more ‘excited’ Jared Allen is “excited!” In a 25-minute question and answer session, Allen used the word excited 20 times. This guy is too amped to be faking it.

What Allen is the most excited about are some of the Bears’ veterans he’ll be joining, and his real belief his new club can contend for a Super Bowl.

Allen spoke reverently about Lance Briggs, Charles Tillman and Tim Jennings, but the guy he’s the most “excited” to play with is Jeremiah Ratliff.

“One of the people that excites me the most is Jay Ratliff. He is an absolute beast in the middle. What he can do from the nose tackle spot or the three-technique is huge. To have a guy that can consistently get 3 or 4 yards deep means the quarterback’s got one way to go, to him or me.”

Allen just hasn’t gotten the memo yet about Ratliff’s name now being Jeremiah.

He also appears to be over the moon about being a Chicago Bear.

“I’m here for a reason. All my criteria were met after talking to the coaches, but I have to know that I can fit in here. Knowing the history of the Chicago Bears is super cool. I’ve always liked Chicago – I’ve got family here. For me it all kind of fell in line at the right time at the right place.

When everything lined up there was no doubt this was the best fit for myself, for my family and what I see as the future going forward. We have a great chance to win.”

Allen also is impressed with general manager Phil Emery, coach Marc Trestman and Vice

BEARS INSIDER Hub Arkush President of Football Administration Cliff Stein. Both he and Emery pointed out this was not an easy deal to get done.

The Bears’ new right end explained: “They got creative on things to make it work on both sides, and to come into an organization that is wiling to make it work and to know we can trust they’re going to do what they say, and they trust we’ll do what we say, was huge.”

Allen appears to be absolutely genuine in his belief the Bears are a contender.

“It’s a cool feeling when you go into an offseason knowing you have a chance to win,” he said. “In the NFL, as players, all we ask for is a chance to win every game you’re in. My excitement comes with being here, knowing that there’s going to be opportunities to play some great defense and win multiple games.

“It came down to fit. You never know who’s going to win a Super Bowl. If I had a glass (pretty sure he meant crystal) ball to tell me, great, but I wanted a chance to go out and win a Super Bowl, and when everything lined up, Chicago is where I was supposed to be. All respect to Seattle, it’s a great organization but this is where I was supposed to be.”

think the vibe has changed.

And I think a lot of people in the front office and the coaches’ room and the clubhouse are excited about the direction we’re going. But we’re going to be tested.”

The White Sox will still have some hiccups this season as youngsters gain bigleague experience. Semien, who is starting at second base while Gordon Beckham continues to recover from an oblique strain, went 0 for 4 in Monday’s win and Garcia finished 2 for 4. Both struck out and hit into a double play.

“I don’t know which one of the new guys will stutter at some point, but inevitably it will happen,” Hahn said.

“As we all know, Joe Crede and Aaron Rowand had to go back to the minors before they became established big leaguers. Development is not linear. Sometimes there are fits and starts and sometimes guys pick up right where they left off in the minors or in a foreign league.”

PIRATES 1, CUBS 0

Cubs give no help to Samardzija

By GORDON WITTENMYER gwittenmyer@suntimes.com PITTSBURGH – It’s only one game, and they say they’re confident, etc., etc.

But what happened with the Cubs’ hitting in their season opener Monday – more specifically, what didn’t happen – looked more like a repeat of their miserable performance at the plate throughout last season than anything resembling a fresh start.

Not that it should be a surprise, considering the primary difference between this group of hitters and last year’s is that 30-homer run producer Alfonso Soriano was traded away, and slap-hitting, table-setter Emilio Bonifacio was added.

Bonifacio did his part Monday against the Pittsburgh Pirates, but nobody drove him in, and the Cubs wasted a strong Opening Day pitching performance from Jeff Samardzija in a 1-0 loss at PNC Park.

The game ended on Neil Walker’s home run off Carlos Villanueva leading off the bottom of the 10th inning.

But this one was decided long before that, when the Cubs put the leadoff man on five times before extra innings without scoring – three times putting him at second with none out. They reached third base once.

If this wasn’t a tone-setter for the new season, it was at least a reminder of the same old stuff from last year.

“You can only control what you can control,” said Samardzija, who pitched seven efficient innings – for 15 total scoreless innings over his consecutive Opening Day starts. “We have a bat, too.

We have a say in how it turns out. ... But ultimately, we’re out there pitching, and that’s our job. These guys are working hard; they’re doing what they can do; and we have their back 100 percent.”

If there was an area of clearest concern coming into this season, it was how the Cubs could expect to get more production from a lineup that was shut out 16 times last year and produced the third-fewest runs in the majors – and that got no significant help in the offseason.

CHICAGO – Mike Dunleavy had 22 points to lead five Bulls in double figures and the Bulls broke open a close game with 13 straight points at the start of the fourth quarter to beat the Boston Celtics, 94-80, on Monday night.

Joakim Noah had 19 points, 11 rebounds and five assists, Jimmy Butler added 18 points, Carlos Boozer 16 and Taj Gibson 14 points and 11 rebounds.

The Bulls swept the homeand-home series with the Celtics after posting a 107-102 victory in Boston on Sunday.

The Celtics have lost 10 straight on the road to drop to 8-28 away from home. Their last road win was Feb. 10 at Milwaukee.

Brandon Bass and Jerryd Bayless scored 18 points apiece

for the Celtics.

Rajon Rondo didn’t play Monday after having 17 points and 11 assists Sunday. He is still working his way back to full strength following reconstructive knee surgery and doesn’t play in back-to-back games “They’ve played a lot without him,” Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau said before the game.

“Rondo is unique because he’s an offense unto himself. He can make something out of nothing.

Their strengths are a lot different when he’s not on the floor, but they’re very capable.”

The Bulls led 25-24 at the end of the first quarter, but the Celtics rallied in the second to take a 50-48 lead at halftime. Bass led Boston in the second quarter, scoring eight points on 3-for-3 shooting in nine minutes.

Bass and Bayless each had 10 first-half points to lead Bos-

ton, while Butler led the Bulls with 12 points.

The Bulls jumped back on top at the start of the second half, taking a 59-55 lead with just under seven minutes and seemed on the verge of taking command. But the Celtics rallied again for a 63-60 lead a little past the halfway point of the third.

Dunleavy then tied the game with a 3-pointer that began a streak of nine straight points as the Bulls took a 69-63 advantage with about two minutes to go.

The lead was down to 71-70 entering the fourth quarter, but the Bulls went on a quick 9-0 run for a 80-70 lead with 9½ minutes to play before Celtics coach Brad Stevens called time out.

The stoppage in play didn’t curb the Bulls’ momentum or end the run.

Not retaliating was right thing to do

It would have felt good, no?

It would have been viscerally rewarding to find Brooks Orpik and go after him, to hand out swift punishment to anyone and everyone on the Penguins’ roster.

The Blackhawks had just seen captain Jonathan Toews get plowed into the boards by Orpik, then clutch his left arm as he left the game with what the team called an upper-body injury. (The Hawks released no new information about Toews’ condition Monday.)

And, as Patrick Sharp noted, Orpik knew darn well whom he was hitting and made sure to do it as hard as he could.

“You obviously don’t like your captain getting hit like that,” Sharp said.

The initial reaction, the knee-jerk, is to attack. Attack Orpik. Attack Sidney Crosby.

Retaliation. Old-time hockey, right?

It would have been immensely satisfying. It also would have accomplished

nothing.

So, while Mike Milbury and Keith Jones called for blood on the NBC Sports Network, the Hawks responded to the Orpik hit by playing better, by playing harder. Yes, Andrew Shaw took a quick run at Orpik later, but he didn’t go out of his way, didn’t take a dumb penalty and didn’t go after a Penguins star to exact some archaic idea of revenge.

The Hawks played hockey.

They still lost because, well, sometimes you lose. But they handled it the right way, no matter what the talking heads said.

During an intermission, Jones said, “The two points aren’t that important tonight for the Blackhawks,” implying their focus should have been on answering the Orpik hit. It’s exactly that kind of thinking that keeps hockey on the fringe of U.S. mainstream sports.

The two points were plenty important to the Hawks, who are fighting for home-ice advantage in a playoff series against the Avalanche. What’s not important is “sending a

message,” particularly to an Eastern Conference team you see twice a season.

“If I were coaching that team, I’d say, ‘Let’s do something about this,’ ” Milbury said.

It wasn’t even a dirty hit. It was a dangerous and devastating hit, but it wasn’t dirty.

Retaliation brings nothing but re-retaliation and a greater risk of another player getting hurt. This notion of “standing up for your teammate” is a relic of the NHL’s more barbaric days and does nothing to help your team win a game.

The goal Sunday was to beat the Penguins, get two points and keep pace with the Avalanche. In the long term, though, the focus is on the postseason and on making another Cup run. Patrick Kane will be back for the playoffs.

Toews is day-to-day, and the Hawks won’t rush him back for the last two weeks of the regular season.

Because a healthy Toews in the playoffs is the most important thing. Certainly more important than some antiquated idea of vengeance.

TAKING THE PLUNGE FOR LOVED ONES Joliet woman will rappel to raise money for respiratory disorders

By JEANNE MILLSAP

More information

Shaw Media Correspondent Heights terrify Amanda Buechel, 21, of Joliet, so she’s mentally preparing for that first step off the top of a 27-story building – backwards – to rappel 278-feet down a Chicago skyscraper.

“I am so scared,” Buechel said with a laugh. “I’ve only rock-climbed indoors once.

That’s the extent of my experience.”

On May 4, Buechel will participate in Skyline Plunge!

Chicago, which the Chicago-based Respiratory Health Association hosts to raise awareness and funds for lung disease research, advocacy and education.

During the event, 80 participants will rappel down the lightning bolt side of the Wit Hotel at State and Lake streets in Chicago. Buechel is plunging for her grandmother, Andrea Buechel of Minooka, and her father, Jeff Buechel of Joliet.

Both suffer from asthma and Andrea also has chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Buechel’s grandmother will attend the plunge, watching her granddaughter jump for the cause.

“She’s proud and nervous at the same time,” Buechel said. “She just wants me to get down on the ground.”

According to www.mayoclinic.org, COPD is a group of diseases that obstruct airflow and impede breathing. Two common conditions are chronic bronchitis and emphysema.

Lungs may become irreversibly damaged. Treatment controls symptoms and reduces further damage.

For 10 years, Buechel has watched her grandmother struggle with breathing difficulty. Andrea can no longer walk very far without getting out of breath.

Chicago’s Respiratory Health Association works to reduce lung disease. Its goals are to: • Limit diesel soot pollution from construction equipment, buses, trucks and trains.

• Reduce air pollution from coalfired power plants.

• Support efforts to bring cleaner cars to Illinois.

• Reduce the threat of deadly radon exposure.

• Reduce motor vehicle idling.

• Fund local medical research.

• Share information with the community about lung disease.

• Offer flu immunizations.

• Provide smoking cessation counseling.

• Promote legislation for smokefree environments • Protect the right of children to carry asthma inhalers at school.

“It’s hard watching her go through that,” she said.

“If there was a way to take it away, I would do it in a heartbeat. This [Skyline Plunge] is the closest I can come.”

From an early age, Buechel’s father has had asthma, she said. This motivated Buechel to become a nursing student at the University of Saint Francis in Joliet. Buechel’s goal is to help prevent lung diseases, as well as find new treatments for them.

One of Buechel’s biggest concerns, she said, is air pollution, especially the quality of air in the Chicago area. Buechel said her father mostly notices it when he visits Florida.

“His lungs are worse here,” she said. “They’re 10 times better in Florida.”

According to the American Lung Association’s State of the Air 2013 report, the Chicago area ranked among the

Chicago to raise money for the Respiratory Health Association in honor of her grandmother, who has chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and her father, who has asthma. top 20 worst-polluted cities for short-term particle pollution.

Particle pollution can increase the risk of heart disease, lung cancer and asthma attacks.

Furthermore, the American Lung Association website states particle pollution also is linked to strokes, cancer, deaths in children and infants, reproductive and developmental harm, inflammation of lung tissue, reduced lung volume in young and healthy adults and increased hospitalization for asthma attacks.

Particle pollution consists of the tiny particles from car and truck exhaust, power plants, factories that burn fossil fuels, steel mills, mining operations, fireplaces and wood-burning stoves, and even construction, agriculture and even dust storms, the ALA website also said.

Some of these pollution particles are so small, the ALA website said, they’re visible only with an electron microscope.

“The smaller they are, the more dangerous they are,”

said Brian Urbaszewski, spokesman for the Chicago Respiratory Health Association.

Here’s why: The human bodies is designed to cough or sneeze out large particles but smaller ones can become trapped in the lungs. Others may even enter the blood stream, causing wheezing, cardiac arrhythmias and heart attacks, the ALA website said.

Urbaszewski said indoor pollution is a similar hazard, as air conditioning filters do not remove these smallest particles. Summer is especially problematic since fumes from cars, trucks and industrial activities mix with nitrogen compounds in air, sunlight and heat to produce ozone, a potent lung hazard.

Of particular note is diesel exhaust, which is especially hard on the lungs of children, seniors and people with lung disease, from the site of the CRHA. In Illinois, the CRHA estimates, diesel exhaust triggers more than 20,000 asthma attacks, causes more than 680 heart attacks and leads to

about 570 premature deaths each year.

According to the CRHA, it’s important for people to limit activities that aggravate air pollution on days when air quality is unhealthy, reduce electricity use and avoid gas-powered engines. Instead, opt for carpooling or public transit.

Any money Buechel raises as part of Skyline Plunge!

Chicago will benefit the Chicago-based Respiratory Health Association and help the organization address air quality issues, asthma, COPD and lung cancer, as well as research, education and advocacy for tobacco control.

“You don’t have to be a doctor to help people who have lung disease,” Buechel said.

“Even a dollar can help.”

Through May 16, make donations in Buechel’s name at www.skylineplunge.org. For information about air quality in general and for pollution forecasts, visit Partners for Clean Air at www.cleantheair. org.

The bidding tells you what to do

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Khalil Gibran, a Lebanese artist, poet and writer who died in 1931, said, “The teacher who is indeed wise does not bid you to enter the house of his wisdom, but rather leads you to the threshold of your mind.” I must remember that.

Look at the North and South hands. After East opens one spade, South ends in three notrump. West leads a low spade.

What should declarer do?

A one-no-trump overcall shows about 15.5-17.5 points – a tad stronger than a one-notrump opening – because it is a dangerous bid to make. If the responder has a good hand, he will double for penalty, and unless the overcaller’s partner has a long suit in which to seek refuge, the penalty could be sizable.

Note West’s lead. When a defender has not supported partner’s suit, giving length information is more important than strength information. Leading a low card is a singleton or from at least three. (If West has raised, so is known to have length, he applies BoSToN: Bottom of Something, Top of Nothing.)

South starts with six top tricks: two spades (given the lead), three hearts and one club.

He needs to establish three diamond winners.

Next, he should check the high-card points. Dummy has 10 and declarer holds 16. That leaves 14 for the opponents.

Since East opened the bidding, he clearly has the diamond ace.

South should take the first trick, play a heart to dummy’s ace, lead a diamond to his king, return a diamond, and play low from the dummy. When East’s ace appears, declarer has his nine tricks.

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips the bearer of bad news, but here it is: Inger appears to be giving you the brush-off.

Dear Abby: I have this really hot, sexy latex dress in lilac. I can’t decide which color 6-inch stilettos to wear with it, black or white. I don’t want to look trashy. – Fashionista In The East Dear Fashionista: With latex in April, wear flats and a LONG overcoat.

Dear Abby: I married a wonderful man last week. It was the wedding of my dreams except for one thing: My husband’s sister brought six birds with her and insisted it was perfectly acceptable to keep them in the reception area.

My new in-laws all said I was “unreasonable” for not allowing the caged birds in the reception area.

I was strong and stood my

ground. After a year of preparation, I didn’t want our nuptials spoiled by uninvited birds. Has anyone ever written to you about uninvited birds being brought to a wedding? – Ruffled Feathers In Reno Dear Ruffled: The only ones I can recall were a few cuckoos, but I’m not sure they were of the avian variety.

Dear Abby: I have a dear old friend I talk with on the phone several times a day.

She is the talkative type and sometimes keeps me on the phone for half an hour at a time.

The problem is I have an overactive bladder and sometimes must rush to the bathroom.

It’s very embarrassing. Is there a nice way to tell her I need to get off the phone for a few minutes without being rude or too specific? – Leaking In Las Vegas Dear Leaking: Yes. Tell her to hang on, you’ll be back in a flush.

Mental exercises may help slow age-related memory loss Dear Doctor K: As I get older, I’ve noticed that I have more trouble remembering certain types of information. But other types of memory are as strong as ever. Is this true, or just wishful thinking on my part?

Dear Reader: You’ve made an interesting observation – and an accurate one. As we age, some information does become harder to recall, and new memories may be harder to lay down in the brain.

But other memories remain as accessible as ever.

In particular, there is truth in the old saying that “You never forget how to ride a bicycle.”

Procedural memory – by which you remember processes and skills such as how to ride a bike, serve a tennis ball or accomplish routine tasks – does not fade with age. In fact, it’s so resilient that it remains intact even in people with early- to mid-stage Alzheimer’s.

But other kinds of memory are more likely to decline with age.

These include: • Images and details of experiences you have had. For example, which stock you sold last year from your retirement account.

• Factual knowledge, such as remembering the exact year

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff World War I started. (As I wrote this, I realized I wasn’t sure myself which year it was. But, with a little help from Wikipedia, I learned it was 1914.)

• Spatial memory. For example, learning the directions to a new location.

It’s not just that you learn this sort of information more slowly; you may have more trouble recalling it because you hadn’t fully learned it in the first place.

Some of what we know about age-related memory loss comes from studies of animals. In one study, older mice took longer to learn to escape from a maze than younger mice.

These results are consistent with what we notice about ourselves as we age. Say, for example, that you and your grandchild learn a new computer game together. Chances are that the next day the child will remember more of the details of how to play the game than you do.

Willpower and effort can overcome some age-related difficul-

ties. We now know that in many instances, if you make the effort to learn something well, you’ll be able to recall it as well as a younger person can.

Mental exercises probably can help, too. This is a controversial area, since some studies have not found a clear benefit from mental exercises, while others have. Why the inconsistent results? There probably are two reasons. The first is that the people who participate in the studies are different.

In some studies, the participants have no detectable mental deficits. In other studies, participants have mild cognitive impairment.

The second reason is that there are many different types of mental exercises. Some may work, and others may not. That’s why I’m dubious of absolute statements like “mental exercises work.” I think we will find that some specific types of exercises do work for specific types of people.

And I hope that happens soon – so that I’ll always know when World War I started!

Dr. Wallace: This letter is for guys who might have the same problem that I had.

Brittany and I were good friends. We went out for lunch occasionally, but we never really dated. Still, we were good friends and cared a lot about each other.

Last year I met Kayla, and we started going steady. At first, Kayla was very suspicious about my relationship with Brittany. It almost caused us to break up.

Then one Saturday, I invited them both to lunch without telling the other it was going to be a threesome.

After the girls ordered, I left to do an “errand” and was gone about half an hour. When I returned, Brittany and Kayla had become good friends, and they are still good friends even though Kayla and I are now married. – Josh, Merrillville, Ind. Dear Josh: Brilliant bit of strategy!

Who said, “three’s a crowd”?

Dr. Wallace: I have a most unusual problem, and I need your help.

My boyfriend and I are both 17, and we have been dating for over six months.

Everything was going beautifully until my boyfriend’s cousin, also 17, came to town.

Naturally, Ryan (my boyfriend) and Jake (his cousin) do many things together.

It has become quite obvious now that Jake is jealous of the time Ryan and I spend together and is doing everything possible to break us up. Jake has spread untrue rumors about my reputation, made obscene phone calls to me, and even called me filthy names in front of my friends.

Last night I was over at Ryan’s house, and Jake was also

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace there and called me a “pig” in front of Ryan and his parents. I was so embarrassed that I burst into tears.

I love Ryan very much and I know he loves me, but I am at wit’s end to solve my problem with Jake. I’ve talked to Ryan about it but he said he can’t do anything about it.

Please help me, and fast. – Nameless, Lake Charles, La. Dear Nameless: Your boyfriend could do something about the problem if he really wanted to. Don’t take one more insult from Jake. Inform Ryan that you are not going to see him when he is with Jake.

If Ryan doesn’t like this, then inform him that he must take care of the problem immediately. Tell Ryan the next insult from Jake will be the last you will hear and the last time you will see him. Make sure he knows you are giving him a choice – Jake or you.

Dr. Wallace: I’m 15 and have a younger brother and sister.

Recently I moved in with my father (my parents are divorced) because my mom and I didn’t get along. I love my mom very much, and she wants me to move back home with her, but I like living with my father. Please give me your advice. – Sarah, Ames, Iowa.

Dear Sarah: Both Mom and Dad want what’s best for you.

Have Mom, Dad and you meet at Mom’s house and together decide what’s in your best interest.

Dear Abby: It’s April Fools’ Day, the one day I can share some of the more unique letters that come my way – clearly, more than a few of which were written in an attempt to have some fun with me. Enjoy!

Dear Abby: Many times when I would wake up in the morning, I’d find toothpaste already on my toothbrush, courtesy of my foreign-born girlfriend, “Inger.”

Because I am chivalrous, I figured I would return the favor. So, at night before going to bed or in the morning, I’d tiptoe to the bathroom and put toothpaste on her toothbrush.

Well, the other day Inger told me, “DON’T put toothpaste on my toothbrush!” I was flabbergasted. And if that’s not enough, she no longer preps my toothbrush, either.

I know, I know – I should have asked a simple “Why?” but I wasn’t in the mood for drama. Now it’s eating at me and I just don’t get it. – Confused In Connecticut Dear Confused: I’m sorry to be

Judge’s ‘Silicon Valley’ HBO comedy brings to life the world of tech nerds

By ROGER CATLIN Special to The Washington Post Before he created “Beavis and Butt-Head” and “King of the Hill,” Mike Judge was a physics major working as an engineer in Silicon Valley, writing software for aircraft carriers for the F/A-18 fighter jet.

He took some mental notes on how weird it all was.

“It’s a lot of antisocial introverted people thrown together,” he says over the phone in his deep, halting voice – closer to Hank Hill than Butt-Head (both of whom he voiced in those series). “A lot of these guys would not fit in another workplace.”

But together, they make a humorous gang of nerds in hoodies, who spend their days writing code in hopes of becoming the newest startup millionaires – roles that they are even less suited to fill, even as they try on their Steve Jobs-style turtlenecks.

That’s the premise behind “Silicon Valley,” the new HBO comedy he has made with Alec Berg that premieres April 6.

“Silicon Valley” stars a group of mostly young comic actors led by Thomas Middleditch, T.J. Miller, Kumail Nanjiani, Martin Starr and Josh Brener, playing programmers who share a suburban house – an incubator – as they work on their various ideas in a town eager to gobble them up.

Almost immediately in the story, there’s a battle between two Silicon Valley giants and corporate seers over a compression app created by Middleditch’s character Richard.

“He totally doesn’t have

Mike Judge (center, with cup), creator of “King of the Hill” and other animated hit comedies, on the set of the new HBO sitcom, “Silicon Valley,” he has made with Alec Berg (left of Judge). the best social skills and he frets in his social position,” says Middleditch, who resembles a slacker version of Seth Meyers.

It’s tough for Richard to run a company or deal with people “while he’s still trying to work out the kinks to his own algorithms,” he says.

“It’s like every episode, you feel you’re dealing with more and more money and more and more outcomes, and more and more at stake in the whole thing.”

“I thought about doing something in this area for a long time,” Judge says. But, suddenly, everybody had an idea about it. John Altschuler, a writer on “King of the Hill” who is an executive producer here, “had an idea about doing a show like ‘Dallas’ or ‘Falcon Crest’ but instead of oil or wine money, it would be about tech money,” Judge says.

Then HBO approached with an idea to do a series about video game players, Judge says. “And I didn’t

know the gaming world at all. But I did know this world.”

Berg, a former writer on “Seinfeld” and executive producer of “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” had some familiarity as well. “My dad was a Harvard biophysicist, and my brother was an electric engineer who worked for Microsoft, worked for Vulcan, went to Stanford for computer science,” he says over the phone interview, “so it was very much in my life.”

But there was a reason there hadn’t been a series about the digital boom.

“We’ve been joking that we’re doing a series about something that’s inherently unfilmable,” Berg says.

While it’s understandable to have police, fire and emergency room TV shows, where “every 10 minutes a story comes running through your door,” he says, “watching guys type is not super exciting. So, we’re consequently having to figure out ways to make what these guys do

interesting and presentational, visual.”

Judge had heard it before.

“When I did ‘Office Space,’ “ he says, referring to the 1998 cult comedy film, “there was some concern back then about: How are you going to make a movie about people who sit in desks? But I think because there’s not obvious action stuff there, it’s kind of a challenge that ends up yielding really interesting character stuff. I think that ended up happening with this, too. “ The cast resembles the kind of nerd gangs that populate the burgeoning industry, and the two are happy with the group of actors they got to portray them, who largely came up from improv comedy groups.

“They all seemed like they could play believable engineer types,” says Judge, who rewrote the series to fit them all in.

“One thing that’s a little tricky when you’re casting nerds,” he says, “you get all these guys who have been in a million of these commercials where it’s FedEx or something, when there’s a guy sitting at a desk. There’s this real fine line between somebody who is kind of cartoony nerdy and somebody who you believe can play intelligent and be funny at same time. And I think we have a pretty amazing cast that’s able to do that.”

And maybe they’re not acting that much. “Between takes of the show, they’re actually, literally playing Magic: The Gathering,” a trading card game, Berg says.
