Currie Motors employee wins ‘Tonight Show’ contest

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com FRANKFORT – Pete Porzio, now nationally known as Frankfort Pete, knew he would win “The Tonight Show” host Jimmy Fallon’s contest.

He said he packed so many clothes for the trip to New York that people were wondering if he was crazy.

“I’m a big competitor,” the Tinley Park resident said. “I’m thinking to myself, I’m from the Windy City. I can do this.”

The sales consultant for Currie Motors Ford was honored at the dealership Wednesday afternoon with a welcome home party, and was presented with a key to the Village of Frankfort by Mayor Jim Holland.

Porzio earned a spot on “The Tonight Show” and sold Fallon a 2015 Ford F-150 last week on air after completing Fallon’s Fingers on a 4x4 contest.

“The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” chose 10 sales consultants from Ford dealerships throughout the country to participate in the challenge, which required the contestants to have at least one

“He’s a local celebrity,” Fedak said, adding that she got Porzio’s autograph. “This is as close as I’ll be to Jimmy Fallon.”

Fellow Sales Consultant Sam Sedik said more people have been coming to Currie Motors Ford to ask about Porzio, and he thinks the contest helped the dealership.

“More people have been asking about the 2015 F-150 model,” Sedik said, adding that Pete’s experience and mark as one of the best car salesmen in the nation made him a perfect candidate.

Currie Motors Ford General Manager Jason Latif said when the dealership was deciding who to nominate for the contest, Porzio was a no-brainer choice.

Porzio said he used several techniques to keep himself fit and alert during the time trial.

He adhered to his regular habits and diet. Also, unlike his competitors, he kept his hand low on the car to conserve energy.

“This was an unbelievable experience,” Porzio said.

“Next to my marriage and my three kids, this was the most memorable part of my life.”

One dead in I-55 crash near Romeoville

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com ROMEOVILLE – A Romeoville man is dead after a crash Wednesday afternoon on Interstate 55 just south of the Weber Road exit.

Walter J. Martineck, 47, was driving a delivery truck at 2:43 p.m. Wednesday northbound on I-55 when the truck rear-end-

ed a semitrailer, according to the Will County Coroner’s office.

The collision caused the semitrailer to crash into a car in front of it, according to Illinois State Police.

Martineck was pronounced dead a little after 3:40 p.m. Two people in the semitrailer and one person in the car were taken to a nearby hospital with in-

juries that were not life-threatening, ISP Master Sgt. R.A. Caves said.

All northbound lanes of the interstate were shut down as police investigated the circumstances of the crash. All lanes were reopened just before 5:30 p.m. Wednesday.

The cause of the crash is still under investigation. An autopsy is scheduled for Thursday.

hand on the new truck at all times. The truck was sitting on the USS Intrepid and two referees made sure all rules were followed. The last man or woman who continuously kept his or hand on the truck won.

Porzio outlasted nine other sales consultants, keeping his fingers on the truck for 38 hours and 52 minutes. He thanked those who supported him through social media with #FrankfortPete.

“I think I cried a little when they told me I won,” Porzio said. “It was physical, but mentally challenging the whole time.”

Currie Motors Ford management organized a welcome back party for the new local hero and about 50 people came to congratulate Porzio.

“For people of our community, this makes them feel good about the village,” Holland said. “It helps put Frankfort on the map and actually brings in business.”

Park Forest resident Patricia Fedak went to high school in Frankfort and bought her first car at Currie Motors Ford.

She came to the party after seeing Porzio on “The Tonight Show.”

Dane Christensen, Minooka Community High School senior

Minooka students, faculty saddle up for Donkey Basketball fundraiser

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com

• Thursday, April 10, 2014

It was a rocky relationship from the very start for Dane Christensen and his donkey as soon as the duo hit the basketball court Wednesday night at Minooka Community High School.

“He did basically everything I didn’t want him to do,” said Christensen, 18, a senior.

“When I pulled him, he went any other way. I tried to get to the basket to score but he insisted on going the other way.

It was just not working out.”

Christensen was one of dozens of students and faculty who saddled up with their four-legged counterparts for the school’s “Donkey Basketball” fundraising event Wednesday, hosted

by MCHS’s chapters of the Future Farmers of America and Spanish National Honor Society.

Where a high-scoring game lacked, the laughter did not.

Mark Geers, 18, spent much of the game dragging his donkey from one end of the court to another in a desperate attempt to chase after a loose ball and get a shot off.

But when Geers finally could get positioned well enough for a shot, his donkey would stubbornly rear up, he said.

“It wouldn’t even let me get on it,” Geers said. “The shot itself isn’t that hard, but getting on, getting positioned, that’s the hard part. They’re hard to control so as soon as you get close enough to the basket, you’ve gotta take a shot.”

The rules are similar to that of basketball, except dribbling is not required. Players have to be on a donkey to shoot, but can only hold the ball for 15 seconds.

The family-friendly event had four teams made up of seniors, juniors, faculty members, and a combination team of FFA and Spanish National Honor Society members. Each

game lasted 12 minutes. The Ohio-based company, Buckeye Donkey Ball, supplied the animals.

While organizers didn’t have a formal attendance count, Sarah Strache, agriculture instructor and FFA adviser, said 500 tickets were sold before the event, and the stands were nearly jampacked.

Strache said the money raised will go towards the

school’s FFA and Spanish National Honor Society chapters

for supplies, trips and other activities throughout the year.

Ficarello won’t ask for recount Ken Kaupas holds lead in Republican race for sheriff

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS Rob Winner – rwinner@shawmedia.com

Students at Elwood School cheer on Gabby Huminsky, 12, during a surprise send-off Wednesday afternoon.

Huminsky is traveling to London with the Trinity Irish Dancers to compete in a global dance competition.

Elwood student to compete in international dance competition

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com ELWOOD – Bagpipe music and cheers from dozens of students and staff filled the hallways of Elwood School District 203 for Gabby Huminsky.

On Wednesday, seventh-grade student Huminsky received an exuberant goodbye – along with an Irish blessing – from the school district before embarking on her trip to London to compete in the World Irish Dance Championships 2014.

Described by her parents, Joe and Cindy Huminsky, as the Olympics of Irish dance competitions, Huminsky will face off against other dancers from across the world with her team from the Trinity Academy of Irish Dance in Chicago.

Huminsky has been training hard and will continue training until the start of the competition next week.

“It’s a little nerve-wracking,” she said. “We have to represent Trinity and we have to do our best to show that we are the best in the world.”

“It’s a little nerve-wracking.”

Gabby Huminsky Seventh-grade student Huminsky competed against about 100 other dancers for a spot on the team representing Trinity Academy, Joe Huminsky said. His daughter has been practicing Irish dance since she was about 5 and she says she enjoys it because it allows her to participate in competition and make new friends.

Irish dancing, which can be intricate and fast, depends on everyone involved to dance perfectly.

“One misstep and it ruins the entire dance,” Cindy Huminsky said.

Coaching the team is Anne McCarthy, who Cindy Huminsky says was in the same competition about 20 years ago and won the championship for the U.S. at the time. The ultimate prize, which is a globe-shaped medal, is passed around to each winner of the champion-

ship.

Cindy Huminsky said no matter the outcome of the championship, it will be worth it for her daughter to compete with others on an international scale. Huminsky and her family plan not only to travel around London afterward but to visit Paris as well.

Students and staff of Elwood School District 203 surprised Huminsky with a send-off that included the school’s tiger mascot and a bagpipe player. Students waved handmade signs and posters as they assembled outside the school, with many of them cheering “We are proud of you!” and “Go Gabby!”

Elwood School Principal Mark Pagel said Huminsky is upbeat, has a great attitude and exemplifies what it means to be an Elwood school student. At the school’s celebration Wednesday, he said the school’s hope is that she and her team return with a world championship win.

“You’re not able to get to the level she is without dedication, determination and hard work,” he said.

lleonecross@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Ken Kaupas held his 224-vote lead in the Republican race for Will County sheriff after a final canvass of the March primary election.

The final canvass this week secures Kaupas’ spot on the November ballot. He will face Democratic candidate Mike Kelley, a sergeant in the sheriff’s department.

Kaupas’ o p p o n e n t , Nick Nick Ficarel- Ficarello lo, could not be reached for comment Wednesday.

However, Ficarello has been quoted in other local media saying Ken Kaupas he would not pursue a recount.

Vote counts are official, Will County Clerk Nancy Schultz Voots said Wednesday. Ficarello has five days from the Tuesday canvass to

request a recount, she said.

Ficarello trailed Kaupas by 223 votes on election night and did not concede.

When provisional and late-arriving absentee ballots were counted last week, Kaupas’ lead grew by one vote. Ficarello did not concede then. Ficarello did say, however, that he would support Kaupas if his opponent turned out to be the Republican candidate.

The Republican primary was bitter at times with both candidates pointing to issues in their pasts.

Ficarello, of Manhattan, previously served 31 years with the sheriff’s police.

Kaupas is the deputy chief in charge of public affairs and operations. He formerly served 26 years with the Illinois State Police and retired as a captain. Kaupas also is second cousin to current Sheriff Paul Kaupas, who did not run for re-election.

Kelley, who has more than 20 years of experience in the sheriff’s department, won the Democratic primary over University Park Police Chief Ed Bradley and sheriff’s Lt. Steve Egan.

Robert Sterling to speak at Joliet museum

By BILL WIMBISCUS

If you go

bwimbiscus@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Renowned local historian Robert Sterling will present a program Saturday at the Joliet Area Historical Museum in conjunction with its special exhibit, “The Emergence of Modern Joliet: Art, Industry & Urbanization.”

Sterling will share photos from his collection that trace the evolution of Joliet from 1870 to 1930.

The program will be at 2 p.m.

Saturday in the Robert museum’s CatSterling erpillar Auditorium.

Sterling said his program will provide a historical context for the exhibit, detailing how Joliet changed from a small, farm-oriented rural city to an industrial center.

“Joliet was really transformed once the steel industry came in,” Sterling said. “It acted like a magnet to attract new business. A lot of related industries like fencing, barbed wire and Morse stoves – business that made things out of steel and iron – were really attracted to the area.”

Sterling has authored several books on Joliet history.

He will share stories and answer questions during the interactive presentation.

n What: The Emergence of Modern Joliet: Art, Industry & Urbanization, by Robert Sterling n When: 2 p.m. Saturday n Where: Joliet Area Historical Museum, 204 N. Ottawa St. n Cost: $5 for museum members and $8 for non-members. Advance registration is recommended at www.jolietmuseum.org or 815723-5201, ext. 235.

Patrons view the Joliet Area Historical Museum’s special exhibit, “The Emergence of Modern Joliet: Art, Industry & Urbanization.”

Sterling’s books are available for purchase in the museum gift shop. Sterling will sign books at the conclusion of the program.

Sterling, a former Joliet Junior College instructor, now lives in Denver. Along with George H. Woodruff of the 19th century, Sterling is considered one of the area’s most prominent historians.

old Whiteside tool collection to illustrate the transformation of Joliet from a rural community to industrial town and eventually to an urban city.

The Whiteside collection contains about 13,000 tools.

“It contains every kind of tool you could ever come up with,” Shehorn said.

Williams’ drawings are part of Lewis University’s Howard and Lois Adelmann Regional History Collection.

The exhibit is a collaboration between staff at the Joliet Area Historical Museum, Dr. Dennis Cremin, professor of history at Lewis University and two of his classes, and Professor Leslie Colonna of the Lewis art department and her advanced design students.

Complimentary refreshments and appetizers will be served as part of the program.

Guests will have full access to the museum’s galleries and exhibits.

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The driver in a crash that killed a Manhattan man two years ago is scheduled to enter a blind plea.

Prosecutors said Wednesday during a status hearing on the case that Kevin E. Krohn, 23, of New Lenox will plead guilty and face a sentencing hearing June 16. He faces up to 12 years in prison. Krohn faces a charge of aggravated driving under the

influence of alcohol.

About 3:44 a.m. Aug. 25, 2012, Krohn was driving west in a 2002 Dodge over the hill on Steger Road at 104th Avenue near Frankfort. Police said Krohn lost control and struck a tree, a retaining wall and a large metal phone-switching box on the northeast corner of the intersection, causing the car to burst into flames.

Krohn’s passenger, Jake Stevens, 22, died at the scene and had to be identi-

fied through dental records.

Krohn was hospitalized with compound fractures in both of his legs. Krohn was arrested two weeks later and released from jail on $75,000 bond.

Stevens’ mother, Kim Stevens, filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Krohn that was settled for $250,000 last year. Two bars, 115 Bourbon St. in Merrionette Park and Mr. Sulllivan’s Irish Pub and Eatery in Midlothian, also were named in the lawsuit.

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The lawyer’s on trial and the judge wants the victim arrested.

Judge Edward Burmilla on Wednesday issued an arrest warrant for Caryn Lyn Miller, the alleged victim in the aggravated battery case, for failing to appear on her subpoena to testify against attorney Kenneth A. Grnacek.

Grnacek, 70, is charged with aggravated battery against Miller after authorities said he struck her inside a Braidwood bar on Dec. 24, 2012.

Appellate prosecutor Thomas Brown said Miller was aware of the subpoena, but said she would be unavail-

able to testify on the first day because her child needed oral surgery Monday.

“I continued calls to her all weekend and since, and the police have also attempted to contact her,” Brown told Burmilla.

Grnacek’s attorney, Ira Goldstein, argued the trial should continue without Miller’s testimony. But Burmilla said the subpoena had ordered her to appear.

“If I do nothing about that, I’ve created a situation where people can ignore the court and decide whether they want to appear. I cannot allow that,” Burmilla said.

Grnacek’s trial is scheduled to resume Friday morning.

The trial was held in a smaller courtroom Wednes-

day to accommodate the hearing aid and microphones Grnacek needs. Braidwood officer Kevin Schumacher testified he was dispatched to a fight at the Korner Keg, 285 E. Main St., and saw Miller with a bloody lip.

Grnacek had been drinking at the bar and ordered pizza from bartender Kiley Murphy.

He later complained about how long it took the food to arrive, and the two got into an argument.

When Grnacek allegedly insulted Murphy with profanity he was ordered to leave the bar. When Miller, another customer in the restaurant, told him he should leave, Grnacek allegedly turned and struck her in the face.

Remaining money will be divided among tornado victims

By JESSICA BOURQUE jbourque@shawmedia.com DIAMOND – The more than $200,000 remaining in tornado relief funds will be divided equally among all tornado victims in the Diamond and Coal City area, with a portion designated for business owners and another for homeowners.

About 60 business and homeowners affected by November’s tornado attended a special meeting Tuesday, where Diamond village officials addressed the distribution of the remaining tornado relief funds.

Diamond, Coal City and local charities have struggled to find the best way to distribute the funds since donations began pouring in hours after the tornado struck in November.

The decision to evenly split the remaining funds between the 225 families and several businesses impacted by the tornado came after input from tornado victims and local officials.

“It was very refreshing to

see the group of people and to know that their hearts were in the right place,” Diamond Mayor Terry Kernc said Wednesday. “From my point of view, the meeting truly could not have gone any better.”

Recipients who feel they’ve received enough monetary assistance can donate the funds to one of the village’s suggested local charities, which will be included with each check.

The remaining funds are in several accounts.

There is $42,000 in the Community Foundation Tornado Relief Fund Account maintained by the Community Foundation of Grundy County, We Care, Operation St. Nick and Grundy County United Way. The Community Foundation already has provided $36,050 in mini-grants and We Care gave $20,000 in rent assistance, Community Foundation Executive Director Julie Buck said.

“None of us are trained insurance adjusters, so when it started taking on a subjective

be divided evenly among the businesses that sustained damage during the tornado.

Before any of the funds are distributed, the affected businesses also will have the opportunity to apply for $1,000 loans.

Kernc said there are about 100 miscellaneous gift cards of various value that will be randomly included with checks before they are distributed.

By June 7, the Diamond/ Coal City Tornado Relief Fund will be closed. Any future money will be forwarded on to the Community Foundation of Grundy County.

“I was really very proud of how everyone came together,” Kernc said Wednesday. “I am very pleased with the resolution we’ve come to.”

The ASSOCIATED PRESS OTTAWA – LaSalle County on Tuesday settled a lawsuit filed by six women who said they were improperly stripsearched by deputies at the county’s jail.

County officials agreed in a Chicago federal court to pay $355,000 and make changes to how the jail will operate.

According to the women’s attorney, Terry Ekl, Dana Holmes, the original claimant, will get $125,000 under

the terms of the settlement.

Four of the other women will get $30,000, each, and the other woman will get $10,000. Ekl will receive $100,000 in legal fees.

Holmes, of Coal City, said one female and three male jail deputies stripped her on May 19 after a drunken driving arrest and left her nude in a padded cell. The incident was recorded by surveillance video cameras.

LaSalle County’s attorney, James Sotos, said the county

Terry Ekl Defense attorney doesn’t admit to any wrongdoing and that it settled the lawsuit to “avoid the costs of extensive litigation.” He said

changes to jail protocols have been made.

Ekl has pointed out there had been no written policy, only a “nebulous” oral policy, on how deputies should act. He added that he understood jail personnel need some leeway when performing their difficult jobs, but that a written policy should be in place.

“There’s a good chance [jail deputies] are going to act more appropriately from now on with prisoners,” Ekl predicted.

Attorney Jason Helland was named special prosecutor to investigate whether criminal charges should be filed against the deputies in Holmes’ case.

That investigation is continuing.

LaSalle County Assistant State’s Attorney for The LaSalle County Board’s attorney, Todd Martin, said no internal discipline has been taken against the deputies because the county’s position is the deputies did not do anything wrong.

Manhattan officials moving into new facility

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com MANHATTAN – Village officials in Manhattan are moving into their new location that promises to give them more space and enhance the community’s image.

Manhattan staff and board members have needed a new Village Hall for some time and they bought one for the price of about $1.6 million in impact fees, Village Administrator Kevin Sing said. At one point, village officials were looking to build a new facility but now will occupy the building at 260 Market Place, he said.

“It’s almost like they built [the building] as a Village

Hall because it’s perfect for us to move into,” Sing said about the previous owners of the building.

Sing said staff and officials will be ready in their new building Monday.

Because they will be moving into the 17,000-square-foot building this week, the village will be closed to the public Thursday and Friday, he said. Residents can still call the main line at 815-418-2100 or contact the police if they have any emergencies.

Phone systems are expected to be down early Thursday morning but Sing said he they should be back up at about 10 a.m. or later, he said. Staff will be checking messages left with the village, he said.

ONLY $8.00

Village officials plan to dedicate 6,000 square feet of the new location for the police department, which will still be at the village’s old building on 245 S. State St. Sing said village officials expect the police department could move into the new location at the end of the year or early next year.

Manhattan Mayor James Doyle said he was excited about the move.

“It will give us a more professional look to the village,” he said about the new location. “… The one we’re in now is 100 or so years old.

[The new building] is going to be newer plus I’m also glad we’re able to pay cash for it.

We didn’t have to raise taxes for it.”

STATE OF VILLAGE ADDRESS

Cook: Channahon has ‘the spirit’

By JEANNE MILLSAP

“I am pleased to tell all of you that the state of the village of Channahon is ripe for investment.

We have the spirit, the know-how, the will and the foundation to be a stronger partner for all those who seek to invest in this great community.”

Shaw Media Correspondent CHANNAHON – Village President Joe Cook’s State of Channahon address Wednesday came with a message of transition.

The police department was reorganized last year, a new administrator and finance director will be hired soon, reconstruction will begin on the Route 6/Interstate 55 interchange in the fall, and sales of single family homes hit 160 last year – up from 115 in 2012.

“I am pleased to tell all of you that the state of the village of Channahon is ripe for investment,” Cook said during the luncheon, which was held at the Four Rivers Environmental Education Center. “We have the spirit, the know-how, the will and the foundation to be a strong partner for all those who seek to invest in this great community.”

The Channahon Economic Development Council is helping prepare Channahon for new business, Cook said, and a partnership with the village and Minooka will make the area around the new Brisbin

Channahon Village President Joe Cook gives the annual state of the village speech Wednesday.

Road interchange more attractive for development.

Cook said Channahon has a solid bond rating and cash reserves in its general operating fund of more than 50 percent of its annual expenditures.

He did identify one neg-

ative – lawsuits by the city of Chicago and the Regional Transportation Authority challenging Channahon’s point-of-sale tax rebate program.

The RTA is suing Channahon and other municipalities, including Morris,

alleging that sales tax revenue is being diverted from Cook County where business is transacted to other towns where officers are set up to take advantage of lower tax rates.

Three awards were presented at the address, including one that was renamed this year in honor of the legacy of longtime police and fire commissioner and former police officer William Kennedy, who recently died.

Cook said Kennedy laid the foundation for today’s police department.

The award, now called the 2014 William Kennedy Police Officer of the Year award, was presented to an entire Channahon Police Department shift. The midnight shift of Sgt. Craig Gunty and officers John Blough, Dustin Carlson and Andrew Chapple was honored for a long list of accomplishments that included the handling of armed domestic disputes, foot pursuits, suicide threats, spike strip stops and other incidents.

Gunty said before the address that the officers’ hard work and dedication keep Channahon safe at night.

The 2014 Amos Moose Hayes Award for Citizen of the Year went to Angie Caldwell, owner of Five Star Cheer Academy, organizer of Pink Heels, room mom and religious education teacher at St. Ann Catholic Church.

The 2014 Fred Rittof/ George Sparagis Award for Business of the Year went to Walgreens and manager Bob Becker, who Cook said has supported the community in many ways, including National Night out against Crime, Relay for Life and the Warrior Dash.

Board extends Coal City principal’s contract

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD hlitchfield@shawmedia.com COAL CITY – During the 28 years he has spent with the Coal City Consolidated School District, Mitch Hamann has been a teacher, a coach, an assistant principal and a principal.

Kent Bugg, superintendent said two words – passion and enthusiasm – come to mind when talking about Hamann.

“Most people like to say he bleeds Coaler green,” Bugg said.

The school board came out of closed session April 2 and approved a new five-

year contract for Hamann as high school principal, which Bugg said will take him to retirement. Hamann’s current salary is $94,500, and he will receive a 2.5 percent increase each year for five years.

Hamann has been principal at Coal City High School for the past two years.

Hamann was raised in Mendota, and when he moved to the area he initially thought he’d be more comfortable in a town like Morris, which was similar to his hometown.

He ended up moving to Coal City and settling into his job as teacher.

“We have great kids and great teachers,” Hamann

“The school is just a branch of the community. We have student ambassadors that act as liaisons from the high school to the community to show that. We’re building the culture of one community, one family.”

Mitch Hamann Coal City High School principal said. “It was easy to fall in love with the community and the school.”

Bugg said Hamann has done an excellent job as principal and he is excited to have his contract renewed for five more years.

“I’m happy with what he’s done in a short period of time

as principal,” Bugg said.

Hamann feels his first goal – making the high school a welcoming place – also is his biggest accomplishment as principal.

Hamann said a lot of great kids have come through the school, helping it to feel like home.

In addition to being a teacher, he spent 14 years as a football coach and 23 years as a basketball coach.

“When someone comes through our doors we want them to feel at home,” he said. “We want to treat everyone fairly and with respect.”

Bugg said he holds everyone who wears Coaler green to a higher standard.

“The school is just a branch of the community,” Hamann said. “We have student ambassadors that act as liaisons from the high school to the community to show that. We’re building the culture of one community, one family.”

James Hellwig, aka The Ultimate Warrior, speaks Saturday during the WWE Hall of Fame Induction at the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans. The WWE said Hellwig, one of pro wrestling’s biggest stars in the late 1980s, died Tuesday. He was 54.

Former pro wrestler Ultimate Warrior dies

By DAN GELSTON The Associated Press The Ultimate Warrior put on his signature airbrushed trench coat, shook the white ring ropes, and, for a few fleeting minutes, the wrestler billed as hailing from Parts Unknown was back home in the wrestling ring.

“Speak to me, Warriors!” he bellowed on Monday night’s “Raw”, back on TV after an 18-year absence.

He soaked up the applause from a New Orleans crowd chanting his name and pulled out a neon mask that replicated the face paint he wore in the ring for every main event battle with Hulk Hogan and Randy “Macho Man” Savage in the 1990s. Warrior cut a promo to show how much he appreciated his return to the WWE. Less than 24 hours later, Warrior, one of the most colorful stars in pro wrestling history, was dead. He was 54.

“We are all grateful to have had the opportunity to get the closure with him, to work to get him back on that platform,” said Paul “Triple H” Levesque, a wrestler and top WWE executive. “Knowing him now, there could have been no better send-off, really, for him, than that.

It was everything he would have dreamed off.”

After ending his estrangement with the company, Warrior was in the spotlight again earlier this week, making appearances at WrestleMania 30 and on “Monday Night Raw,” and he was inducted into the WWE Hall of fame.

His last promo on WWE’s flagship show seems almost eerie now with his triumphant return overshadowed by his sudden death.

“No WWE talent becomes a legend on their own,” Warrior said. “Every man’s heart one day beats its final beat.

His lungs breathe their final breath. And if what that man did in his life makes the blood pulse through the body of others, it makes them bleed deeper and something larger than life, then his essence, his spirit, will be immortalized.”

The Ultimate Warrior personified the larger-thanlife cartoon characters who helped skyrocket the WWE into a mainstream phenomenon in the late 1980s and early 1990s.

Warrior dressed in face paint, had tassels dangling from his super-sized biceps and sprinted to the ring when his theme music hit. He’d shake the ropes, grunt and howl, and thump his chest while the crowd went wild for the popular good guy.

STATE

13

By KERRY LESTER The Associated Press SPRINGFIELD – An effort to increase taxes for Illinois millionaires is on hold after the state’s powerful House speaker couldn’t get enough votes to push his plan through the Democratic-controlled Legislature, and he’s blaming Republicans who “prefer and protect millionaires over schoolchildren,” his spokesman said Wednesday.

The proposal sought to tack a 3 percent surcharge onto income of $1 million, which House Speaker Michael Madigan said would raise $1 billion annually for elementary and secondary education, or about $550 per student. The money would have been distributed to schools based on the number of students they serve.

A House committee approved the plan in March, but the proposal needed a threefifths majority in both the state

Head of struggling airport gets raise The ASSOCIATED PRESS MASCOUTAH – The director of a southwestern Illinois airport that has never turned a profit since opening with great fanfare 16 years ago has gotten a pay raise as well as a bonus of more than $13,000, according to a newspaper report.

Tim Cantwell, who oversees MidAmerica St. Louis Airport near Mascoutah east of St. Louis, last year got a nearly 5 percent pay increase, pushing his yearly income to roughly $128,000, the Belleville News-Democrat reported Wednesday.

Cantwell got his bonus in January for meeting unspecified goals, the newspaper said details it obtained through the Freedom of Information Act show.

St. Clair County owns the airport, with Cantwell managing 14 employees and the airport’s $5.5 million budget.

MidAmerica has struggled since opening in 1998, and critics persistently have labeled it a $330 million boondoggle.

A message left Wednesday for Cantwell by The Associated Press was not immediately returned.

The county board’s chairman, Democrat Mark Kern,

defended Cantwell’s salary jump and bonus, saying he is committed to his work and has been instrumental in luring a passenger airline and international cargo business to the airport.

Kern said the Illinois State Police and the Illinois National Guard have moved onto the airport, accounting for more than $9 million of infrastructure and 120 jobs.

“All of these things have since been achieved under [Cantwell’s] leadership and guidance,” Kern said.

But St. Clair County Board member Nick Miller – a Lebanon Republican long critical of Cantwell’s performance – countered that Cantwell should be fired, given the airport’s continued losses. MidAmerica has a projected deficit of $1.4 million this year, and audits show the county has subsidized airport operations more than $28.7 million in the past five years.

“Where else but St. Clair County and MidAmerica Airport can a guy get rewarded so well for failing so badly?” Miller said. “And for what? Making sure MidAmerica only loses $1.4 million this year instead of the multiple millions it’s lost in years past under his watch?”

House and Senate to be placed on the ballot for voters. Republicans were steadfast against the plan from the beginning, meaning Democrats needed to be fully behind the plan.

However, Democratic Rep. Scott Drury expressed concerns, making it impossible for House Democrats to get the required votes.

“The problem with these stand-alone proposals is that no one knows what the final product looks like,” Drury

said in a statement. “We cannot rebuild Illinois’ fiscal house without a comprehensive plan, yet that is what we are being asked to do.”

Madigan’s spokesman, Steve Brown, told The Associated Press on Wednesday that the Chicago Democrat blames Republicans who wouldn’t support the proposal.

Madigan, who also doubles as the Illinois Democratic Party chairman, has said Illinois’ wealthiest residents were

“better equipped than others to support education.” Republicans said the tax would hurt small businesses and farmers.

Madigan’s plan was announced two days after multimillionaire Bruce Rauner won the Republican nomination for governor in the March 18 primary election. Rauner, a Winnetka Republican, and Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn present starkly contrasting visions of how to fix the lagging economy and improve state finances.

STATE BRIEFS Area mayors lobby for city pension changes SPRINGFIELD – DuPage County mayors are asking legislators to overhaul municipal police and fire pension systems, one day after Illinois lawmakers passed changes to two Chicago pensions systems.

The mayors say their local police and fire pension systems are not sustainable unless lawmakers in Springfield make changes. In 2016, cities will be required to divert state funds into local pensions if they don’t meet required payments.

Downers Grove Mayor Martin Tully says state lawmakers have added pension benefits and left local taxpayers to pay increasing required costs.

The mayors are asking lawmakers to change cost of living adjustments, increase employee contributions and raise the retirement age for police and fire employees.

Police and fire union officials say they’ve done their part to reduce benefits. They say cities haven’t historically paid required payments.

Man found dead in state park fell to his death KANKAKEE – An autopsy shows a 40-year-old man

whose body was found in a northern Illinois state park fell to his death, falling more than 35 feet to the ground.

The (Kankakee) Daily Journal reports final results of the autopsy on Joel Brueggert won’t be available until toxicology tests are completed.

The Herscher resident’s body was found Monday afternoon in Kankakee River State Park near a creek by the park’s main entrance.

An autopsy was performed Tuesday.

Cicero police looking for more victims in sex case CICERO – Suburban Chicago police say a youth minister is facing charges for sexually assaulting at least six children – and they believe more victims may come forward.

Cicero police said Wednesday that Juan David Ferreras is charged with criminal sexual assault, criminal sexual abuse, sexual exploitation of a child, battery and other crimes.

Authorities say the 43-yearold engaged in sexual conduct with at least six juveniles between the ages of 9 and 17 while he was a youth minister, photographer and teacher at Sonido De Ala-

banza Church. They suspect the crimes occurred at the church, his Cicero apartment and camps in Ingleside and Tiskilwa, where he ran youth retreats.

It wasn’t immediately clear if he had a lawyer.

The church says it is cooperating with authorities and is praying for victims.

Heroin meetings planned across Illinois SPRINGFIELD – A new Illinois House task force on heroin plans to hold several public hearings across the state this spring.

The move comes after the Illinois House voted last week to declare a “heroin state of emergency” in Illinois. The resolution passed unanimously.

It also asks the Legislature to develop a plan to address the drug problem in the state.

Democratic state Rep. Lou Lang is chairman of the task force. He says it’s “clear what we’re doing now is failing.”

The first hearing is scheduled for April 15 in Chicago.

Lang says the panel aims to draft a legislative agenda on the issue that worries both families and law enforcement.

NATION&WORLD

Top-paid Medicare doctors have reasons The ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON – How is it that a few doctors take in millions of dollars from Medicare?

Explanations for Wednesday’s eye-popping numbers from Medicare’s massive claims database ranged from straightforward to what the government considers suspicious, as the medical world confronted a new era of scrutiny.

The long-sought release of Medicare data revealed just how much the program paid individual doctors in 2012.

An analysis by The Associated Press found that a tiny group, 344 out of more than 825,000 doctors, received $3 million or more apiece – a threshold that raises eyebrows for the government’s own investigators. Overall, about 2 percent of clinicians accounted for one-fourth of payments.

Deputy administrator Jon

Blum said Wednesday that Medicare will now take a closer look at doctors whose payments exceed certain levels.

Blum told reporters he did not want to reveal those thresholds because that would tip off people trying to game the system.

“We know there is waste in the system, we know there is fraud in the system,” he said.

“We want the public to help identify spending that doesn’t make sense.”

Blum said an even bigger goal in making the data public is to help find more cost-effective, quality-conscious pathways for America’s $2.8-trillion health care system.

Medicare, a $600-billion program for seniors and disabled people, sets the tone.

In rural Hastings, Neb., ophthalmologist John Welch said the vast majority of the $9.5 million that Medicare paid him went straight from his practice to drug companies, for expensive medica-

tions used to treat patients with macular degeneration.

“I’m concerned that people in the community will get the wrong idea of how these billings reflect doctors’ income,” said Welch, who ranked No. 8 in Medicare payments. “Instead of blaming us, they need to have a serious discussion with the drug companies about lowering the cost of these drugs.

If they want us to stop taking care of patients, then tell us that – but don’t blame us for costs.”

As for No. 4 on the payments list, the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota says a large number of tests are billed under the name of its Dr. Franklin Cockerill, chairman of laboratory medicine and pathology. According to the Medicare database, Cockerill was paid more than $11 million.

“Dr. Cockerill is a salaried employee of Mayo Clinic and is not making big money from Medicare,” spokesman Bryan

Agents reassigned after pair of embarrassing incidents

Anderson said. Medicare officials said multiple providers should not be using a doctor’s identification number to bill.

The American Medical Association has expressed concern that laypersons may draw wrong conclusions from seeing large dollar signs next to a physician’s name.

But another case, from Michigan, suggests that following the money can turn up potential problems.

Detroit-area cancer doctor Farid Fata, among the top billers, is awaiting trial on federal charges that he intentionally misdiagnosed patients and ordered unnecessary treatments. Fata says he’s innocent.

The overall top-paid doctor in 2012 was Florida ophthalmologist Salomon Melgen, who received $20.8 million.

Last year, Melgen was in the news after revelations that Sen. Robert Menendez, D-N.J., had used the doctor’s personal jet for trips to the

Former IRS official referred to Justice Dept.

By STEPHEN OHLEMACHER The Associated Press

By ALICIA A. CALDWELL The Associated Press WASHINGTON – The Secret Service has reassigned agents from its special operations division, including the top agent there, after a pair of embarrassing incidents earlier this year.

The division has also changed the rules about when agents are allowed to drink before duty and on presidential trips.

Secret Service spokesman Edwin Donovan said the division’s special agent in charge, Dan Donahue, was reassigned to another division.

The Washington Post first reported the changes

Tuesday night.

The Secret Service says that in addition to transferring agents from special operations division, anyone assigned to the unit is barred from drinking within 12 hours of starting a shift.

They also are not allowed to drink within 24 hours of a president’s arrival on a trip.

For now the new alcohol rules about drinking pertain only to the special operations division.

Three agents were sent home from the Netherlands last month after one was found intoxicated in a hotel before President Barack Obama arrived to meet with foreign officials.

It was the latest embar-

rassing incident for the Secret Service, which faced scrutiny from the White House and Congress after a prostitution scandal in South American two years ago.

Two agents were involved in a vehicle crash in South Florida earlier this year during a presidential trip.

The agents involved were not charged with a crime, although it was suspected alcohol was involved.

Secret Service Director Julia Pierson has called the incident “isolated.”

“Director Pierson maintains a zero tolerance policy regarding incidents of misconduct,” Donovan said.

Dominican Republic. Menendez’s relationship with Melgen prompted Senate Ethics Committee and Justice Department investigations.

The senator reimbursed the doctor more than $70,000 for plane trips.

Early last year the FBI conducted a search of Melgen’s West Palm Beach offices.

Agents carted away materials, but law enforcement officials have refused to say why. Authorities declined to comment on the open investigation.

Melgen’s lawyer said the doctor’s billing conformed with Medicare rules and is a reflection of high drug costs.

Overall, Medicare paid individual physicians nearly $64 billion in 2012.

AP picked the threshold of $3 million in payments for its analysis of individual doctors because that was the figure used by the Health and Human Services inspector general in an audit last year.

WASHINGTON – The House Ways and Means Committee voted Wednesday to refer a former Internal Revenue Service official to the Justice Department for possible criminal prosecution in the agency’s tea party controversy.

Committee investigators say they have uncovered evidence that Lois Lerner may have violated the constitutional rights of conservative groups, misled investigators and risked exposing confidential taxpayer information.

Lerner, who retired last year, headed the IRS division that processes applications for tax-exempt status.

The agency has acknowledged that agents improper-

ly singled out tea party and other conservative groups for extra scrutiny when they applied for tax-exempt status from 2010 to 2012.

In a publicly released letter, committee chairman Dave Camp, R-Mich., says Lerner specifically targeted Crossroads GPS, the political nonprofit co-founded by GOP strategist Karl Rove.

The letter says Lerner inappropriately intervened in the group’s application, seeking to have it denied. The letter also says Lerner sought to have the group audited.

There is no evidence, Camp said, the liberal groups were targeted in the same way.

“We think there’s reason to believe that laws were broken, that constitutional rights were violated,” Camp said.

A man and woman walk away from Franklin Regional High School after almost a dozen students were stabbed by a knife wielding suspect at the school on Wednesday in Murrysville, Pa., near Pittsburgh.

Nate Moore, 15, said he saw the boy tackle and knife a freshman. He said he going to try to break it up when the boy got up and slashed Moore’s face, opening a wound that required 11 stitches.

“It was really fast. It felt like he hit me with a wet rag because I felt the blood splash on my face. It spurted up on my forehead,” Moore said.

The attacker “had the same expression on his face that he has every day, which was the freakiest part,” he said. “He wasn’t saying anything. He didn’t have any anger on his face. It was just a blank expression.”

Assistant Principal Sam King finally tackled the boy and disarmed him, and a Murrysville police officer who is regularly assigned to the school handcuffed him, police said.

King’s son told The Associated Press that his father was treated at a hospital, though authorities said he was not knifed.

“He says he’s OK. He’s a tough cookie and sometimes hides things, but I believe he’s OK,” Zack King said. He added: “I’m proud of him.”

In addition to the 22 stabbed or slashed, two people suffered other injuries, authorities

said. The security guard, who was wounded after intervening early in the melee, was not seriously hurt.

“There are a number of heroes in this day. Many of them are students,” Gov. Tom Corbett said during a visit to the stricken town. “Students who stayed with their friends and didn’t leave their friends.”

As for what set off the attack, Murrysville Police Chief Thomas Seefeld said investigators were looking into reports of a threatening phone call between the suspect and another student the night before.

Seefeld didn’t specify whether the suspect received or made the call.

The FBI went to the boy’s house, where authorities planned to confiscate and search his computer.

“They are a very, very nice family. A great family. We never saw anything out of the ordinary,” said John Kukalis, a next-door neighbor for about 13 years.

His wife, Sonya Kukalis, said “It should be an eye-opener for everybody. Everyone always thinks it’s the other neighborhood, the other town.

We need to be kinder and show compassion to more people.

Something must have been going on for him to do this.”

MURRYSVILLE, Pa. – Flailing away with two kitchen knives, a 16-year-old boy with a “blank expression” stabbed and slashed 21 students and a security guard in the crowded halls of his suburban Pittsburgh high school Wednesday before an assistant principal tackled him.

At least five students were critically wounded, including a boy whose liver was pierced by a knife thrust that narrowly missed his heart and aorta, doctors said. Others also suffered deep abdominal puncture wounds.

The rampage – which came after decades in which U.S. schools geared much of their emergency planning toward mass shootings, not stabbings – set off a screaming stampede, left blood on the floor and walls, and brought teachers rushing to help the victims.

Police shed little light on the motive.

The suspect, Alex Hribal, was taken into custody and treated for a minor hand wound, then was brought into court in shackles and a hospital gown and charged with four counts of attempted homicide and 21 counts of aggravated assault. He was jailed without bail, and authorities said he would be prosecuted as an adult.

At the brief hearing, District Attorney John Peck said that after he was seized, Hribal made comments suggesting he wanted to die.

Defense attorney Patrick Thomassey described him as a good student who got along with others, and asked for a psychiatric examination.

The attack unfolded in the morning just minutes before the start of classes at 1,200-student Franklin Regional High School, in an upper-middle-class area 15 miles east of Pittsburgh.

It was over in about five minutes, during which the boy ran wildly down about 200 feet of hallway, slashing away with knives 8 to 10 inches long, police said.

Twitter tweaks website to attract new users

By BARBARA ORTUTAY The Associated Press NEW YORK – As Twitter looks to broaden its appeal beyond its 241 million users, the company is introducing a redesign of profile pages that includes bigger photos, more user controls and a distinct resemblance to Facebook.

“Moment by moment, your Twitter profile shows the world who you are,” the company wrote in a blog post Tuesday. “Starting today, it will be even easier (and, we think, more fun) to express yourself through a new and improved Web profile.”

As part of changes coming in the next few weeks, users who access Twitter via the Web will notice larger photos on their profile pages. Besides profile photos on the left corner of the page, the redesign includes a large banner photo that resembles the big rectangular cover photos on Facebook pages. Users will be able to “pin” one of their tweets to the top of the page to give others an idea of the topics they like to tweet about. In addition, tweets that receive the most interest from other users will appear slightly larger.

The more visual look is an attempt to attract people who might be intimidated by Twitter’s onslaught of text filled with quirky acronyms, at-symbols and hashtags. The changes come at a time when Facebook is adding features to its site that are Twitter-like, highlighting the way the two companies are jockeying for people’s time and advertisers’ dollars.

Is Twitter saying a picture is worth 140 characters? Perhaps not. The new profiles don’t apply to Twitter’s mobile app, which is a more popular way to access the service than the website. Mobile also is where Twitter earns most of its money. EMarketer expects about 77 percent of Twitter’s estimated $1.1 billion in advertising revenue to come from mobile this year.

Even so, Twitter has acknowledged that it needs to reach a bigger audience. CEO Dick Costolo described the ef-

fort in broad terms during the company’s February earnings call with analysts.

“By bringing the content of Twitter forward and pushing the scaffolding of the language of Twitter to the background,” Costolo said, “we can increase high quality interactions and make it more likely that new or casual users will find the service as indispensable as our existing core users do.”

Costolo also promised more visually engaging content, of which the profile page redesign is just one example. Last fall, the company decided to make users’ feeds more visual by including previews from Twitter photos and Vine videos.

Twitter’s first-quarter tally of users signaled that growth is slowing on the service. The company added just 9 million new monthly users in the fourth quarter, only 1 million of which came from the U.S. It added an average of 16 million new accounts in each of the first three quarters of 2013.

Twitter said in February that it had 241 million users at the end of 2013. By comparison, Facebook boasts some 1.23 billion users, while WhatsApp, the messaging service Facebook is buying for $19 billion, said it had 400 million active monthly users last December.

Twitter has not yet reported its first-quarter financial results, so it’s hard to tell if the slowdown is a sign of trouble or just a blip. EMarketer analyst Debra Aho Williamson said in a recent report that Twitter’s user base “may be growing more slowly than expected, but the social service has steadily increased its ad revenue and shown that its ads can drive engagement and interaction.”

Noah Elkin, executive editor at eMarketer, said advertisers “love the engagement they get on Twitter.” That said, he added that the company still is under pressure to grow.

The redesigned profile page, Elkin said, likely will have a “relatively minimal impact” on Twitter’s advertising revenue, “unless and until” the company brings the new look to its mobile app.

If the batteries fail before the recorders are located, finding them in such deep water – about 4,500 meters, or

“I believe we are searching in the right area, but we need to visually identify aircraft wreckage before we can con-

Putin turns up economic heat before Ukraine talks

By PETER LEONARD and VLADIMIR ISACHENKOV The Associated Press MOSCOW – Russian President Vladimir Putin turned up the heat on Ukraine on Wednesday by threatening to demand advance payment for gas supplies, a move designed to exert economic pressure as Ukraine confronts possible bankruptcy, a mutiny by pro-Russian separatists in the east and a Russian military buildup across the border.

NATO’s top commander in Europe warned that the alliance could respond to the Russian military threat against Ukraine by deploying U.S. troops to Eastern Europe, but Putin’s latest tactics suggest he may be aiming to secure Russia’s clout with its neigh-

bor without invading.

Speaking at a Cabinet session, the Russian leader voiced hope that diplomatic efforts to ease the Ukrainian crisis would yield “positive results,” an apparent reference to talks set for next week that will bring together the U.S., the European Union, Russia and Ukraine for the first time.

Russia wants the talks to focus on a roadmap for Ukraine that would include constitutional reforms to turn it into a federation and guarantee its neutral status. Those demands reflect the Kremlin’s hope of retaining influence over its neighbor and ensuring it does not join NATO. Ukraine has responded by saying it will not be dictated

by Russia.

Taking a tough stance be-

fore the negotiations set for next week, Putin instructed the government to be prepared to charge Ukraine in advance for gas supplies — a step that would inflict more pain on a nation already teetering on the verge of bankruptcy. He said the change needed to be taken if “additional consultations” with the European Union fail to yield results.

Russia has already eliminated a gas discount it had given Ukraine, arguing that it was tied to a lease for Russia’s Black Sea Fleet base in Crimea, a Ukrainian region that Russia annexed last month. And Ukraine has promised the International Monetary Fund that it will cut energy subsidies to residents in exchange for a bailout loan of up to $14 billion.

That means gas prices were set to rise 50 percent on May 1, even before the latest salvo from Putin.

The Kremlin pressure comes as pro-Russia protesters have continued to occupy government buildings in eastern Ukraine.

Ukraine and the West have accused Moscow of fomenting the unrest to create a pretext for another Russian military incursion similar to last month’s takeover of Crimea.

Ukrainian Interior Minister Arsen Avakov said the standoff in Luhansk and the two neighboring Russian-leaning regions of Donetsk and Kharkiv must be resolved within two days.

“I want to repeat that there are two options: political settlement through negotiations

and the use of force,” Avakov told reporters. “We are ready for both options.”

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov quickly responded by warning against “making 48-hour ultimatums.”

“The situation can only be settled through an equal and respectful dialogue,” he said.

All the cities affected by the uprisings are in Ukraine’s industrial Russian-speaking heartland in the east, which has a large population of ethnic Russians and strong economic and cultural ties to Russia. Many residents are suspicious of the government that took power in February after pro-Russian President Viktor Yanukovych fled the capital following months of protests.

PERTH, Australia – After a navy ship heard more signals from deep in the Indian Ocean, the head of the search for the missing Malaysian jetliner said Wednesday he believes the hunt is closing in on the “final resting place” of Flight 370.

The Australian vessel Ocean Shield picked up two signals Tuesday, and an analysis of two other sounds detected Saturday showed they were consistent with a plane’s flight recorders, or “black boxes,” said Angus Houston, the Australian official coordinating the search for the Malaysian Airlines jet.

“I’m now optimistic that we will find the aircraft, or what is left of the aircraft, in the not-too-distant future,” Houston said. “But we haven’t found it yet, because this is a very challenging business.”

Finding the flight data and cockpit voice recorders soon is important because their locator beacons have a battery life of about a month, and Tuesday marked one month since Flight 370 vanished March 8 en route from Kuala

The hope expressed by Houston contrasted with the frustrating monthlong search for the Boeing 777, which disappeared shortly after takeoff in one of the biggest mysteries in aviation history.

The plane veered offcourse for an unknown reason, with officials saying that satellite data indicates it went down in the southern Indian Ocean off the coast of western Australia. The black boxes could help solve that mystery.

The signals detected 1,020 miles northwest of Perth by the Ocean Shield’s towed ping locators are the strongest indication yet that the plane crashed and is now at the bottom of the ocean in the area where the search is now focused.

A data analysis of the signals heard Saturday determined they were distinct, man-made and pulsed consistently, Houston said.

“They believe the signals to be consistent with the specification and description of a flight data recorder,” he said.

To assist the Ocean Shield, the Australian navy dropped buoys by parachute in a pattern near where the signals were last heard.

ANOTHER VIEW

DCFS chief must be priority for Quinn One of Illinois’ most-important and highly scrutinized agencies, the long-troubled Department of Children and Family Services, continues to lack a permanent director to guide the state’s child welfare efforts.

Gov. Pat Quinn is conducting a national search to find a new director for the agency, which has had four chiefs in less than a year and currently is under the leadership of yet another interim director.

Quinn, in a meeting last week with The State Journal-Register’s editorial board, did not elaborate on the status of the search but spoke well of acting director Bobbie Gregg.

“The person I appointed as acting director is a very, I think, responsible, well-regarded person. She’s a lawyer, she’s also a social worker,” he said.

“We’re doing a search to find a permanent director, and that will happen.”

Although it’s critical for Quinn to take some time to find the best-qualified person to run the agency, it is equally important that a new director be hired sooner rather than later.

DCFS faces too many daunting challenges in the coming months and years for the search to drag on unnecessarily – the safety and well being of thousands of Illinois children chief among them.

A lawmaker earlier this year put it more bluntly, calling the agency’s challenges “horrendous.”

An audit in June revealed a series of troubling issues at the agency that merit the full attention of a long-term director. According to the audit, DCFS caseworkers missed the 60-day deadline to investigate child abuse claims nearly 900 times in 2012 – up from 115 the previous year. It’s the largest backlog since 2006.

The agency also lagged on initiating child death reviews. The audit showed about 70 percent of child death reviews in 2012 were conducted an average of 158 days after the close of an investigation. The reviews are supposed to occur within 90 days.

The agency also had lapses in its accounting.

DCFS in 2012 had just more than 2,800 employees. That year workers

Did the West really win the Cold War? Whether the Cold War is back, it’s an apt moment to strike up a wider conversation about a couple of central questions from my book “American Betrayal.” Why did the West fail to claim an ideological or moral victory at the apparent end of the Cold War? Did the West really even win the Cold War? If we go back in time and listen, we hear no consensus click over signs that an unalloyed U.S.-led triumph over communist ideology had taken place; nor do we find a sense of national thanksgiving for the forces of good – or, at least, for the forces of better – in their triumph over the forces of a non-abstract evil as manifested in Gulag or KGB or famine or purge history. “Mustn’t gloat” was about as joyous as the White House of Bush No. 41 ever got.

Was the official non-reaction because of that “crisis of confidence” we always hear about – specifically, that “politically correct” failure to believe in the worth of the West? I used to think exactly that and no more. The self-loathing West, failing to see anything of value in itself, was

VIEWS Diana West simply unable to take satisfaction, let alone pride, in the demise of its mass-murdering nemesis. “After all,” the PC catechism goes, “Who’s to say the Western system is ‘better’ than any other?”

But there is far more to it. At a certain point, it becomes clear that what we are looking at isn’t a West that fails to appreciate itself anymore, but rather a West that isn’t itself anymore. Decades of subversion by communist infiltrators and American traitors, collaborators and “useful idiots” have helped make sure of that. So, even if the military enemy went away after the dissolution of the USSR on Christmas Day 1991, our ideological enemy never even had to break step. Cold Warriors might have prevailed abroad, but America lost the ideological Cold War at home.

This helps explain why our col-

lege campuses are outposts of Marx, our centralizing government is increasingly invasive and dictatorial, and our culture is one of metastasizing decadence – the amoral conditions of “The Communist Manifesto” made manifest.

Indeed, to be “anti-Western” today, as some have noted, is to stand in opposition to the West’s rampant immorality, as Russian President Vladimir Putin pointedly claims to do. This is why, as Masha Gessen recently wrote in The Washington Post, Russians look at events in Ukraine and think “the West is literally taking over, and only Russian troops can stand between the Slavic country’s unsuspecting citizens and the homosexuals marching in from Brussels.”

Meanwhile, the U.S. finds itself paying lip service to the Constitutional principles it is still somewhat nostalgically known for.

President Obama’s recent speech in Brussels, headquarters of the European Union, reveals the chasm

Quinn must make replacement soon • DCFS Continued from page 18 more than 253,000 hotline calls and assisted nearly 17,000 children in foster care, relative care, residential placement, independent living situations and finalized adoptions, according to the audit.

As if that weren’t enough, the amount of money available to the agency is in question, as lawmakers consider whether to make permanent a temporary income tax hike to help the state make ends meet. Rep. Greg Harris, D-Chicago, who is chairman of the House appropriations committee for human resources, in March told The Associated Press that DCFS could see about 15 percent of its funding eliminated if the tax is allowed to roll back.

Coupled with the absence of a long-term director, such cuts could make it nearly impossible for DCFS to initiate reforms that clearly are needed.

The most recent director, Arthur Bishop, an ordained minister and former DCFS deputy director, was appointed to the post in January, but resigned a month later after revelations that he had a criminal record for stealing from patients at a mental health facility and that he had fathered a daughter out of wedlock. He said he was stepping down to avoid being a

distraction to Quinn’s re-election campaign.

Bishop replaced previous DCFS director Richard Calica, who died in December after a battle with cancer. Calica, a lifelong clinical social worker, had been in the post since December 2011. He was credited with reducing backlogs and caseloads, cutting middle management and modernizing the agency’s hotline during his tenure.

Calica replaced Erwen McEwen, who resigned as DCFS director in September 2011 after fraud allegations involving millions of dollars in state grants. McEwen had been in the job since November 2006.

Illinoisans should share the concerns of state Sen. Julie Morrison, D-Deerfield, who oversaw hearings in the fall that were triggered by problems documented in the DCFS audit. She said that without a permanent leader, needed reforms within DCFS will be indefinitely on hold.

“It’s hard to get traction when you don’t have anybody that’s really leading this,” she was quoted as saying.

Quinn must name a replacement as soon as possible – one who is well qualified, reform minded and willing to stick around for the long haul for the sake of Illinois’ abused and neglected children.

You refer to Illinois’ 8.7 percent unemployment rate, and go on to state that “if approved, this bill will send the rate skyrocketing.”

Say what? Sorry to say this, but that claim is just plain false. In making the claim, you imply that its truth is self-evident, as you offer no evidence that it is true, nor do you offer any logical argument as to why it might be true. You do state that 80 percent of new job growth is from small business, but that is hardly an argument in support of your “job killing” claim.

Look at the proposed tax logically. It proposes to tax income above $1,000,000 at the rate of 3 percent. That

means that a “small business person” earning $1,100,000 will pay $3,000 (or three-tenths of 1 percent) in “extra” tax. If the earnings are $2,000,000, the surcharge will be $30,000 (or 1.5 percent). This extra tax is hardly enough to send business people scurrying for neighboring states. On the contrary, they are likely to feel fortunate to be based in a state whose amenities allow them to earn such a nice income, and to feel that they would be foolish to leave.

I would very much appreciate a follow-up column in which you defend your “job killer” claim.

To the Editor: We the people believe that those we elect to office should be wise enough to pass laws that would give us all liberty and justice. We do not believe that any laws should be passed that do not protect those rights. The question has risen as to what laws should be passed concerning taxation to resolve our debts, both at the national and the state levels.

Some are saying that we should tax the rich because they can afford to pay them. I believe if you look at the Christian Bible, the wise men of old said that the Lord God wanted for all to tithe, whether rich or

poor. I don’t think there is a better taxation rate than that coming from God. If everyone paid the same rate, it would affect everyone at the same ratio of wealth to tax. The poor may not be paying as much money as the rich, and probably would feel the loss of income much more than the rich, The rich could not complain because they would be paying the same rate as the poor. It would be simple to establish a system of tax this way. No deductions would be necessary as all persons would be paying the same tax rate.

Our ‘free world’ is more or less just a front • WEST Continued from page 18 between what we have become and what we are supposed to be. Wearing his “Leader of the Free World” hat, Obama made the case against Russia’s annexation of Crimea by conjuring a Manichaean split between free societies and dictatorships. But does it fit?

According to the president, there are free societies where “each of us has the right to live as we choose,” and there are dictatorships where the rule is “ordinary men and women are too small-minded to govern their own affairs.” Americans confronting government-mandated health insurance would do well to wonder exactly which society they live in.

Obama continued: “In many ways, the history of Europe in the 20th century represented the ongoing clash of these two sets of ideas.” That contest, he explained, swerving wildly away from historical fact, was won “not by tanks or missiles, but because our ideals stirred the hearts” of Eastern Bloc anti-communists. (Omitted was the fact that these revolts were mainly crushed without

U.S. aid. Omitted also was the decisive role that President Reagan’s “tanks and missiles” – and missile defense – played in the military contest.)

In this post-World War II era, Obama declared, “America joined with Europe to reject the darker forces of the past and build a new architecture of peace.”

Russia’s annexation of Crimea, in sum, is an attack on that “architecture,” and, as such, is bad.

On closer examination, however, that same U.S.EU “architecture” doesn’t support the free-society paradigm so much as what the president calls the “more traditional view of power” – the one that sees “ordinary men and women (as) too small-minded to govern their own affairs.”

This latter view aptly describes the “soft” tyranny of the EU nanny state, whose early lights, after all, were Belgian Socialists and Nazi sympathizers with visions of a unified pan-European welfare state. In Brussels, their political progeny – unelected bureaucrats – increasingly dictate political and social norms across a “United States of Europe.”

In the U.S., the medical totalitarianism of

Obamacare – not to mention Obama’s serial usurpations of power (not enforcing legislation he doesn’t like, making up and enforcing legislation he does like) – makes it all too clear that this president has a dictatorial temperament.

This is unsurprising when you consider that his political baby, his engine of transformative change – state-mandated health care – happens also to have been an early program of the Bolsheviks, and had as one of its earliest U.S. boosters a noted Stalinist named Henry Sigerist. This seems like as good a moment as any to remind readers that the UN and the IMF, those leading institutions of globalist infrastructure, were fostered into post-World War II existence by a pair of notorious American Soviet agents – Alger Hiss and Harry Dexter White. Truly, it’s a Red, Red world.

Somewhere along the ride, our horse switched colors, also tracks. Until we figure out how and why and what it all means, that “free world” of ours is more or less a front.

SOFTBALL: LOCKPORT 4, MINOOKA 0

By CURT HERRON cherron@shawmedia.com

• Thursday, April 10, 2014

LOCKPORT – Lockport’s softball team looked for a complete turnaround from its previous day’s performance when it played host to Minooka on Wednesday.

That didn’t figure to be an easy task considering the defending Class 4A state champions had been hitting the ball well and were riding a four-game winning streak.

But the Porters got what they were looking for, and more. Beside receiving a shutout from sophomore pitcher Justine Cielenski, the hosts also got timely hitting and good defensive play, which helped them claim a 4-0 nonconference victory over the Indians.

“I think that it was important for us to have a game like this against a good Minooka team,” said Porters coach Marissa Chovanec, whose team fell 10-2 to Lincoln-Way West on Tuesday. “It shows the girls what they can do and what they need to do every day and that they are capable of doing it.

“Justine and [catcher] Sarah [DeMasi] did a really good job of moving the ball around. The sun was really tough, but our right fielder, Sara Koniewicz, came up with some tough catches.

And Haylie and Jordan Arndt both made some nice plays in the infield.”

The game was quite a contrast from the teams’ meetings a year ago, when Minooka won a pair of onerun decisions in high-scoring affairs, including 15-14 in the sectional.

The Porters (4-2) scored solo runs in their first two at-bats and then added their final two tallies in the third inning, the same frame in which the Indians (6-4) had their best chance to score during the contest.

Minooka loaded the bases with one out in the top of the third inning, but Cielenski got out of the jam by recording consecutive strikeouts.

After giving up three hits through the initial three in-

“My catcher is really good at calling pitches and she really knows what she’s doing,” Cielenski said of DeMasi.

“The team played really well today, and I think that we were really hungry for this game.

“With the more games that we play, our team comes together even more so by the end of the year, I think that we’ll be really good.”

In the first, Gabby Voulgaris (2 for 2, two RBIs) drove in Jordan Arndt with a sacrifice fly and an inning later, the Porters went up 2-0 when Haylie Arndt doubled in Halle Hollatz.

Minooka got singles from Alyssa Hajduk and Caty Bell before Marissa Burns was hit by a pitch to load the bases in the top of the third.

Lockport added two key

insurance runs later that inning when Voulgaris singled in Kelly Pattison, and then came around to score on an infield hit by Sarah DeMasi.

After reliever Alexa Zito kept the Porters at bay during the next three innings, the Indians threatened again in the seventh when Geri Westerhoff reached third base but Cielenski recorded her seventh strikeout to preserve the shutout.

“We couldn’t get our bats going, which was surprising since we’ve been hitting the ball pretty well,” Indians coach Mark Brown said. “But give their pitcher credit since she shut us down. We put a couple of balls into play but just couldn’t string them together.

“We’ve got four pitchers who didn’t throw much last year at the varsity level, so we’re still trying to figure out what we’ve got there, but I’m pretty satisfied with that so far.”

Lockport’s Kally Pattison slides under the tag of Minooka’s Erin Rossetto’s to score.

Indians defeat Wildcats for 2nd straight day

By T.G. SMITH tsmith@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – After watching Minooka score seven runs in Tuesday’s game and the first four runs in Wednesday’s game, Plainfield Central finally had a response for the Indians. Scoring three runs in the fifth inning against Indians ace Mitch Malone, the Wildcats were in the game.

However, the same Minooka team that won Tuesday showed up after that and went on to win, 11-5, Wednesday over the Wildcats.

“We were fortunate to win this game [Wednesday].

For sure the score is not indicative of the game itself,”

Minooka coach Jeff Petrovic said.

Minooka took advantage of some wildness by Central starter Zach Pirc by scoring three times in the second. Tyler Paulsen and Kenny Walsh walked with one out and then Jake Null got on board with a bunt single that loaded the bases. A sophomore, Pirc then hit Neal Tyrell and Cristian Sanchez to make it 2-0. One out later, Brennan Polcyn walked to force in a run.

Minooka made the score 4-0 with a run in the fifth when Paulsen doubled, after back-to-back singles by Walsh and Null (RBI).

Then the Wildcats made it interesting against Minooka

starter Mitch Malone. In fact, Central chased him after rallying in the fifth. In that inning, Austin Witendorf singled and Nate Paprota reached on an error. Nick Rana then grounded into a fielder’s choice, after Weitendorf stole third to drive in the first run. John Kosstelz followed with a single to put runners on the corners, and Danny Brandon followed by

lifting a sacrifice fly. After Christian Armstong singled, that was the end of the day for Malone.

The rally didn’t end there, though, against Minooka reliever Trevor Maly. Matt Ryan got an RBI single and Simon LeClair walked before Maly got out of the inning with the score at 4-3.

“We hit a couple of balls hard. We took advantage of some walks and good things are going to happen when you put the ball in play,” Central coach John Rosner said. “We competed our butts off today, and I am proud of them for that. Now its just a matter of finding some consistent pitching.”

Facing Central reliever Jake Anderson, the Indians responded and it continued

against fellow Wildcat relievers John Kostelz and Danny Brandon, as the Indians scored the next seven runs.

“I thought the team came back and responded to adversity very well there at the end,” Petrovic said. “The kids kind of turned it up just a little bit there.

The Indians got three runs in the sixth, and then four more in the seventh to turn things completely back in their favor. Polcyn had an RBI double in the sixth and homered in the seventh for Minooka. Sanchez also homered in the seventh, cementing the win.

Central got the game to its final on a two-run single by Ryan that scored Kostetelz (walk) and Brandon (hit by pitch).

Morris baseball capitalizes on Ottawa errors to record win

By MARK JOHNSON mjohnson@shawmedia.com MORRIS – The clutch hits were not always there for Morris on Wednesday, but it found ways to score enough against Ottawa in Northern Illinois Big 12 Conference crossover baseball.

With Morris down a run, Grant Schluntz walked, and Tyler Bordner and Geno Persico were hit by pitches to load the bases in the bottom of the fourth. Morris No. 9 hitter Cody Niewinski hit an RBI single to get the Redskins even – it was their only hit with runners in scoring position, in seven tries, for the game – but Ottawa pitcher Weston Hoffman struck out the top two hitters in the Redskins’ order.

With a 1-1 count on Morris hitter Trevor Lines, Hoffman uncorked a pitch to the screen. Bordner scored, and an error as the ball was being returned to Hoffman allowed courtesy runner Justin McTague to score, adding

an insurance run. The score remained unchanged from there as Morris claimed a 6-4 victory.

“I was trying to be aggressive and take the next base,” said McTague, who earlier had scored from first (with help from an Ottawa misplay) on a Kyle Hill single. “I rounded third and saw the trajectory of the ball going into the dirt. It got past the pitcher at home, so I just took home.”

Hill walked and scored for the Redskins (5-4) in their half of the first, and a solo Schluntz home run highlighted a two-run second.

Ottawa (2-5) countered with a three-run third, scoring on a Kyle Wallbaum bases-loaded walk and a Cahill Horner two-run single. The Pirates took a short-lived 4-3 lead in the fourth when Nick Quick doubled, and Seth Coffey later delivered an RBI single.

Morris starter Tim Smyk (2-1) held the Pirates down otherwise in his six-plus innings, although he allowed

nine hits, walked four and hit a batter. Smyk had six strikeouts.

“He’d be the first to admit he wasn’t at his best today,” Morris coach Todd Kein said of Smyk. “All eyes are on him when he’s pitching. This is his third year with us. Everyone expects the world out of him.

He knows he’s got to be better, especially heading into next week, into conference play.

We know he’ll make the adjustments. He’s our guy.”

When Smyk walked Horner to begin the Ottawa seventh, Kein replaced him with fellow righty Brock Kukman.

After Kukman recorded two outs, Quick singled, and Michael Donovan hit a smash that a lunging Schluntz caught near first base.

“When the sun starts to come down, it gets really hard for me to see, and I’m not much of a sunglasses-wearer. It kind of bothers me,” Schluntz said. “It was right in the sun, it was hard to [see], but I’m glad that I stuck through and ended the game.”

Corey Crawford finished with 28 saves in the Hawks’ final regular season home game.

Dale Weise and Francis Bouillon scored for Montreal, which snapped a two-game win streak and lost for just the third time in its last 13 games.

Budaj had 25 saves.

The Hawks played its fourth game without star forwards Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane. Both are expected to miss the remainder of the regular season, but return for the playoffs.

Earlier on Wednesday, Kane said he will be at 100 percent for the postseason despite a brace on his injured left knee.

Kane, who was leading the Hawks in scoring when he was hurt in a game against St. Louis on March 19, resumed skating on his own five days ago.

Hawks come back to win in OT

MINNEAPOLIS – D.J. Augustin scored 21 points and Joakim Noah posted his league-leading fourth triple-double of the season, leading the Bulls to a 102-87 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Wednesday night.

Noah had 15 points, 13 rebounds and 10 assists to move into a tie with Indiana’s Lance Stephenson for the most triple-doubles in the NBA this season. Kirk Hinrich scored

16 points on 7-of-9 shooting and the Bulls hit 11 of 21 3-pointers to stay right on Toronto’s heels for the third seed in the Eastern Conference.

Kevin Love had 17 points and 10 rebounds for the Timberwolves. But he only made 7 of 20 shots and missed six of his eight 3-point attempts.

Ricky Rubio added 15 points and six assists, but the Wolves were just 4 for 17 from long distance.

The Bulls entered the night with the same record as Toronto, with the tiebreaker going to the Raptors and only

five games to play before the playoffs begin. The schedule certainly favors the Raptors, who beat the 76ers on Wednesday night and finish the season with two games against the Knicks and one each against the Pistons and Bucks.

Thanks to the raggedy East, the Bulls don’t have it much tougher with the Pistons, Knicks and Magic coming up before the season finale at playoff-bound Charlotte.

That made this game against short-handed Timberwolves a crucial one.

CHICAGO BASEBALL ROUNDUP

Garcia injured as White Sox fall, 10-4 to Rockies ASSOCIATED PRESS DENVER – Avisail Garcia nearly made a game-saving catch. Instead, the right fielder ended up with a jammed left shoulder.

That’s the way the afternoon went for the Chicago White Sox, who lost to the Colorado Rockies, 10-4, on Wednesday.

Garcia said his shoulder is aching after he left the game in the sixth inning. And while X-rays were negative for a fracture or a separation, he will undergo an MRI on Thursday as a precaution.

“Hopefully, it is just a strain,” Garcia said.

Colorado scored six runs in the eighth – its biggest inning this season.

The Rockies sent 10 batters to the plate, with D.J. LeMahieu coming up with a clutch hit to center to drive in two runs.

Cubs 7, Pirates 5: At Wrigley Field, Jason Hammel threw seven strong innings, Anthony Rizzo had four hits and the Cubs beat the Pirates, 7-5, on Wednesday night despite allowing five solo home runs.

Signed to a one-year, $6 million contract over the off-

season, Hammel (2-0) won his Cubs debut when he beat the Pirates in Pittsburgh.

He got off to another good start in this one, retiring the first 12 batters until Pedro Alvarez’s first homer of the game tied it to start the fifth.

Hammel allowed three runs and three hits – all solo homers – while striking out six.

Mike Olt and Junior Lake hit back-to-back home runs in the fifth against Wandy Rodriguez (0-2).

Rizzo’s four hits tied a career high, and it was his career-best fourth straight multi-hit game.

MINISTRY, AS WELL AS CAREER Bolingbrook social worker devotes 20-plus years to kids, wins award

By DENISE M. BARAN–UNLAND

More information

dunland@shawmedia.com BOLINGBROOK – No one was more surprised than Yolanda Jordan of Bolingbrook when in March she received the 2014 Social Worker of the Year award from the National Association of Social Workers Illinois.

To Jordan, a Christian, her service to others through social work is ministry, as well as a career.

“Being a Christian allows me to be compassionate and insightful when it comes to mental illness,” Jordan said.

“You have to look beyond the diagnosis and look at the patient. It’s important to take a look at that and be of service to other people.”

Joel Rubin, NASW Illinois chapter executive director, said that Jordan, the immediate past president of the NASW, had dedicated more than 20 years of her career to child welfare. Rubin called her “an exemplary public servant.”

“She cares about kids,” Rubin said, “kids, who, unfortunately, for whatever reasons, become wards of the state and need support to get on their way in life. It’s not easy working in child welfare. It’s very, very challenging and it takes a special person to stay at it for as many years as she had. She’s very positive.”

Jordan began her career in public relations. While studying for her master’s degree in public communication and human relations at Western Illinois University, Jordan said she volunteered at organizations that worked with youth in disadvantaged communities.

“I enjoyed that work so much that I decided it was more fulfilling for me,” Jordan said. “So, I decided to go

Yolanda Jordan recently won an award for her more than 20 years of social work service. She formerly worked for the Department of Children and Family Services and now works for a mental health center and maintains a private practice in Bolingbrook.

“

THERE’S SO MUCH GOOD WORK THAT GOES INTO SERVING CHILDREN.” Yolanda Jordan, associate social work director for Madden Mental Health Center

back to school to get my masters degree in social work.”

Jordan earned her master’s degree in social work from University of Illinois in Chicago. In 1993, Jordan began working for the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services as a caseworker. Jordan said she loved interacting with families, witnessing their progress and seeing children returned to their parents.

“There’s so much good work that goes into serving children. Unfortunately, that’s not the part that gets the press,” Jordan said. “You don’t see the hard work case workers do to reunite families. You don’t see the young

people in the system that became successful.”

For instance, children who are adopted in their teens – or who remain wards of the state at age 18 – are eligible for DCFS college scholarships, Jordan said. As an example, Jordan has known children who now work in medical fields.

“These are things the media does not report or, perhaps, doesn’t know,” Jordan said.

After five years as a caseworker, Jordan worked two years as a supervisor for a placement team, she said.

She left briefly for six months for additional education at Aurora University and then

returned to DCFS in the area of clinical services.

In that role, Jordan said she met with judges, lawyers, caseworkers and families to help formulate goals and move forward with those goals.

Eight years later, in 2008, Jordan became the placement manager for the northern region, an area that included Joliet. Jordan remained there until 2012, when that position was discontinued, she said.

She then became the area administrator in the Mayfield office for a year and a half before leaving DCFS to concentrate on mental health. Jordan is now the as-

sociate social work director for Madden Mental Health Center.

In addition, through her private practice, which Jordan began 14 years ago, she provides outpatient psychotherapy services to individuals and families, with a focus on women and depression.

Future goals include offering support groups for her private practice clients.

People don’t often realize that licensed clinical social workers can counsel people, although they often take a cognitive behavioral approach, Jordan said, laying out issues and helping clients sort through them.

Jordan feels her work in the system gives her a unique perspective with the clients she counsels.

“I’m seeing a lot of adults, perhaps some have child welfare history, that are impacted with mental illness as a result of trauma through their childhood,” Jordan said. “I think my background helps me better understand how people become chronically mentally ill, how trauma impacts the lives of people and how we can help them.”

This is why Jordan is amazed at receiving a formal acknowledgment for her services, since the satisfaction she receives from performing them is reward enough.

“I get fulfillment from what I do,” Jordan said. “I’m ministering to myself, too.”

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

• Thursday, April 10, 2014

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Edith Wharton was a Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist who was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1927, 1928 and 1930. She said, “One knows one’s weak points so well, that it’s rather bewildering to have the critics overlook them and invent others.”

One of the weak points of most bridge players is the inability to track the high-card points – and that is arguably the most important thing to count during a deal.

How would that help East to find the right defense here?

South is in four spades. West leads the heart ace. What should happen?

The auction follows Standard American. If you have taken up two-over-one game-force, North might rebid three spades (forcing). Then South would probably settle into four spades, since he has a minimum opening bid.

However, his secondary club fit might make him wonder about a slam. Note that if, for example, North’s diamond king were the heart king, six clubs would be an excellent contract.

Since East does not want his partner to shift suits, he should encourage enthusiastically with his heart eight. Then West should cash his heart king and lead his third heart. After winning this trick, East should track the high-card points. The dummy has 13, West has produced seven, and East has seven. That leaves only 13 missing. South must have the spade ace-king and diamond ace.

This means that the defenders cannot win a minor-suit trick.

They must get a trump trick to defeat the contract. So East should lead his last heart. When West ruffs with the spade eight, it effects an uppercut and gives East that crucial trump winner.

Independent woman struggles with intimacy Birthrate among unwed Dear Abby: I’m a 27-year-old woman who has never had a boyfriend or been kissed. I was never interested in romance or having a significant other. I felt strong being independent and taking care of myself. Now that I have a degree, a career and a house, I feel ready to try to let a man into my life.

I met a really nice guy a month ago. “Brian” and I have gone out several times and have a lot in common. He’s a gentleman, and he says he’s willing to wait for me.

I have been having a difficult time letting myself be physical with him. Even hugging is uncomfortable for me. I know it’s because I have been a shy loner my whole life and I’m unaccustomed to being close to people.

Even though Brian says he’ll be patient, I can sense his frustration. Physical closeness should come easily if you like and are attracted to someone. I feel abnormal. I don’t know if I’ll be this way forever or get more comfortable the more I know him.

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips I’m afraid Brian – and most men – won’t be willing to wait that long. I’m afraid if I don’t move faster I’ll lose a great guy and never get another chance.

What do you think? – Blocked In Boise Dear Blocked: Being intimate with someone because you’re afraid you’ll lose him or it will be your last chance is the wrong reason. I think that the sooner you talk with a licensed therapist about your lifelong shyness and discomfort, the quicker you can understand the reasons for it and overcome it. Your doctor should be able to refer you to someone.

If Brian is the right man for you, he will stand by you. But if he doesn’t, you’ll be able to more easily relate to someone else.

Dear Abby: I am planning my wedding in the fall. My fiance and I are paying for the wedding

and reception.

I have worked at my job for a year, and I haven’t always been treated well by a few co-workers.

I am reluctant to invite these people because I’m worried about the repercussions if I do. I know they will judge every aspect because they did it to another co-worker.

I like a few of the people I work with, but I don’t know if I can invite only them. What do I do? – Wedding Planner In Omaha Dear Wedding Planner: What you do is invite only those people you truly want to attend your wedding. It’s not necessary to apologize for it or to explain why.

If you are put on the spot and feel you must give a reason, say that your guest list is limited because of financial constraints. It’s far more tactful than saying they are being excluded because they are rude, awful people, and you don’t want them anywhere near you on such an important occasion.

Limit the time your kids spend playing video games Dear Doctor K: My son plays a lot of video games. What do I need to know about them? And how can I make sure they don’t become a problem?

Dear Reader: I’ve yet to meet a child who doesn’t like video games. But as you imply, this kind of entertainment has its downsides. I’ve talked with several colleagues who are pediatricians here at Harvard Medical School, and they’ve helped me answer your question.

Video gaming is a sedentary activity. This isn’t a big deal if your son spends less than a total of two hours a day watching TV or playing video games. But you don’t want media time to crowd out time spent being physically active.

Too much fast-paced video gaming can cause behavioral problems. Children who spend a lot of time playing fast-paced video games can have trouble with executive functioning. Such games throw a new stimulus at a kid every few seconds, and the child has a limited number of potential responses. Granted, most children are not executives – but many are future executives, and the skill-set required begins to be developed in childhood.

“Executive functions” are

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff the mental processes involved in planning, trouble-shooting and delaying gratification. They are crucial for good behavior – and good social interactions.

An executive needs to be deliberative. He or she needs to consider an issue from all sides.

This requires calling on past business experiences to help predict the best decision. And it involves identifying the people in the organization who need to be involved in considering the best course.

Many video games contain a lot of violence. Exposure to media violence has been linked to behavioral problems and aggression in children. Experts also worry about the effects on children of being the one carrying out the violence, as opposed to just watching it.

Friends and patients who work with children often tell me that some kids seem to think that the consequences of violence are not “real.” Or that, because “winning” in a video games involves successful acts of video game violence, being violent in real life will make

them “winners.”

Some children may get addicted to them. It’s easy to get caught up in making it to the next level and lose all track of time.

This doesn’t mean that children should never play video games. But as with everything in life, common sense and moderation are key. Here are some ways you can help ensure that video games don’t cause problems for your son: • Limit the time spent playing them. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that children limit screen time to no more than two hours a day. Have rules -- and enforce them.

• Choose games wisely. Pay attention to the age ratings. Encourage games that are educational, or that require activity such as dance competition games or games that involve playing a sport virtually.

• Supervise – and join in. Watch your son while he plays to see what the games are really like.

Even better, play with him. You’ll get a real sense of the game and how your child reacts to it.

teen girls has dropped Dr. Wallace: When the phrase “unwed mothers” is discussed, many automatically think of out-of-wedlock births by teens. However, the birthrate among unwed girls under the age of 18 has dropped to the lowest level on record.

The rise in birthrate to unmarried women has risen most dramatically among women age 20 to 29.

The number of births to unmarried women has been on the rise for the past 20 years, and last year more than a million and a half babies were born in the United States to unmarried women.

Government health officials announced that the number of babies born to unwed mothers has risen to an all-time high. Nearly 40 percent of all the babies born in the United States are out-of-wedlock babies.

Analysts feel that the overall climb is due to three major factors.

First, having a baby without the benefit of marriage is more accepted today than it was 50 years ago.

Next, many women are putting off getting married, but still want children, and finally, living together without a marriage certificate is an easy way to become an unwed mom.

Dr. Wallace: Our senior class had a university counselor talk to us about attending a college or university after we graduate. One of his statements sent a shiver down my spine. He said that there are now more female students in colleges and universities in the United States than male students. I find this hard to believe.

I will be attending a college or university in September for two reasons. First, I want to become an elemen-

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace tary teacher, and next, I want to meet a guy there who will eventually be my husband.

Please tell me the speaker made a mistake about there being more females than males in schools of higher learning. – Nameless, Orlando, Fla. Dear Nameless: There was a time when males outnumbered females on college and university campuses. Thirty years ago, 55 percent of all students were male.

Now, only 46 percent of U.S. college students are males.

Females have passed males in college attendance because more of them understand that they need a degree in order to compete for good jobs. Some guys are under the impression that this is unnecessary.

They think they can get the job they want just because they’re male.

They’re in for a rude awakening.

Thirty years ago, college-educated women most often became nurses, teachers or secretaries. Career options for women have expanded tremendously since then. Now a young woman can be anything she wants – and because of this, according to sociologist John Reynolds, who teaches at Florida State University, they’re attending college in record numbers.

But, don’t worry – college is still a likely place to meet your future husband. It’s just gotten a little more competitive.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAYS

HOROSCOPE

By BERNICE BEDE OSOL Newspaper Enterprise Association

By MICHAEL O’SULLIVAN The Washington Post In a career that has lurched from the heights of “Leaving Las Vegas” and “Adaptation” to the depths of “Ghost Rider” and “The Wicker Man,” Nicolas Cage delivers what may be his best, most nuanced performance yet in the gritty, hypnotic and deeply moving “Joe.” Playing the title character, a kind-hearted yet no-nonsense supervisor of a blue-collar work crew in rural Mississippi – and a man struggling to control sporadic, alcohol-induced outbursts – the actor tempers his propensity for histrionics, underplaying Joe’s demons in such a way that they become even more tragic.

Joe’s anger, when it flashes, tends to be righteous, though he has served time, we’re told, for assaulting a police officer. One major narrative thread is the bad blood that has arisen, apparently sometime in the recent past, between Joe and Willie (Ronnie Gene Blevins), a cowardly local greaseball whose first appearance is to shoot Joe in the shoulder from a safe distance and then flee. Although the nature of their vendetta is never fully explained, we’re led to side with Joe. That’s partly because Cage’s character is shown to be such a decent man. He has a girlfriend (Adriene Mishler), loyal pals – including the town sheriff (Aj Wilson McPhaul) – and a dog (named Dog). But an even larger chunk of our sympathy comes from the actor’s charisma. Cage imbues Joe with the soulful, brooding intensity of a poet or artist, even when he’s doing something as simple as showing a friend how to butcher a deer carcass.

Working from Gary Hawkins’ adaptation of Larry Brown’s 1991 novel, director David Gordon Green (“Prince Avalanche”) evokes a powerful sense of hopelessness in both the people who populate the film and the place in which the action is set.

“Joe” is filled with prostitutes, day laborers, cops and drunks and is decorated with ramshackle houses.

It’s both ugly and beautiful, but Joe stands out for his seeming ability to

Ryan Green photo

That ability enables him to notice – and care – when a 15-year-old drifter named Gary (Tye Sheridan) shows up one day, looking for work on Joe’s crew. Their assignment is a strange one – hacking at live trees with axes, the business ends of which have been modified to squirt poison, so that the forest can be replanted with healthier trees.

It’s a fairly surreal activity, as well as a nice metaphor for the film’s central theme, which has to do with sacrifice.

Joe soon takes Gary under his wing after noticing injuries delivered by the boy’s father, Wade (Gary Poulter), an alcoholic batterer so nasty that he makes Joe look like an angel. One particularly shocking scene features Wade murdering a man for a bottle of cheap wine, and then kissing his victim on the forehead. That bizarre contrast is a powerful encapsulation of the film’s paradoxical aesthetic of great squalor and great – if sometimes misplaced – compassion.

While Cage’s acting is terrific, so is that of Sheridan, whose turn in “Mud” was one of last year’s most outstanding juvenile performances. He brings

true heroism to his part. But the real acting tour de force in “Joe” comes courtesy of Poulter, a homeless alcoholic originally considered by the director for a small cameo, but who was elevated to one of the film’s central roles after an impressive audition.

Sadly, the grizzled novice, who looks much older than his 53 years, died last year shortly after filming was completed. In “Joe,” which is dedicated to him, Poulter’s intensity matches that of Cage, note for note.

The frightening verisimilitude of his portrayal lends the film a cinematic realism that nicely mutes some of Cage’s star power.

There are a number of trains heading for a collision here: Joe and Wade; Joe and Willie; Joe and the sense of justice that both ennobles and bedevils him. Green sets all of them on their tracks and then masterfully orchestrates the inevitable crash. In the end, it feels like less of a crescendo than the slow unclenching of a balled up fist.

• “Joe” received four out of four stars. The film is rated R and contains violence, obscenity and sex. It runs 117 minutes.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Don’t reveal too many details about what you are up to. A colleague may be trying to get ahead at your expense. Someone who seems overly enthusiastic could have an ulterior motive.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Keep an open mind today. A casual remark from an old friend will give new spark to your creativity. A trip to an unfamiliar location will result in a rewarding partnership.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – You don’t appreciate being scrutinized, so don’t question what others are up to. Be trusting. Your relationship with friends, peers and partners will suffer if you display jealousy.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Take a break from your usual schedule. Get out into the fresh air with friends or loved ones. A brief jaunt to a nearby park or nature trail will get your juices flowing.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – An elderly relative may be a burden. Look over your budget and see where you can make beneficial adjustments. Contracts, investments or legal matters should be dealt with now.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – The time is right for love. Take things slow and easy. You may be feeling romantic, but don’t come on too strong, or your special someone may take off in the other direction.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Don’t waste time gossiping or sharing personal stories when you should be working. You’ll be criticized if you don’t finish what you start with efficiency and dispatch.
